Warsaw Withholding *30000 Payment
The town of Warsaw will
continue to withhold' a
$30,000 payment from Miller
Construction Co. of Wilming
ton, pending settlement of a
?it against the company by
e of its suppliers.
Mfller Construction Co
built the town sewage treat
ment plant.
The town board last week
assessed the company a
penalty of $5,250 for late
completion of the project.
The town had held back
$60,000 while officials de
termined the amount of
damages to assess for late
completion of the $2 million
project. The contract called
for completion on Nov. 22,
1982, but the project was not
finished until 70 davs later.
The contract provided for a
penalty of up to $350 a day
for late completion.
Gene Miller of the com
pany called the assessment
fair.
The board decided to re
duce the amount held back to
$30,000 and pay the company
$24,750 immediately.
The town will hold the
other $30,000, either until
the suit is settled or until the
Miller company's surety
bond holder assures the town
any settlement will cost the
town nothing.
Miller Construction _ is
being sued for $36,000' in
principal and interest by
United Pipe Co., which
claims it is owed that amount
for pipe sold to the con
struction firm for the treat
ment plant. The Miller firm
contends the pipe was de
livered late and this con
tributed to construction
delays.
In other business, the
board decided to hold a
public hearing during^ its
Sept. 12 meeting on the
request of Tom Rabon of
Warsaw for annexation of a
13-acre tract adjacent to the
northeast city limits. Rabon
plans to build multi-family
dwellings on the property.
He also asked the town to
install water and sewer lines.
If a sewer lift station _ is
required he would have' to
pay the town for its cost.
Also at the Sept. 12 meet
ing, the board will hold a
hearing on re zoning an area
off Chelly and Yancey
streets, adjacent to the
Stewart Creek apartments.
Billy Kennedy, a board
member, owns the 2.5-acre
tract and wants to place IS
mobile homes on it. Present
zoning bars mobile homes.
The board plans to hold a
special meeting this month to
select a recreation director. It
is reviewing 20 applications
for the post. Three applicants
live in Warsaw.
A second-round bid open
ing for 1,200 cubic yards of
paving material will be con
ducted at 10 a.m. Sept. 18 at
the town hall. The board was
forced to readvertise for bids
because only two companies
submitted offers by the
deadline.
Town employees will be
placed under the state re
tirement program starting
Oct. 1 at an initial cost to the
town of SiS.Oft). Employees
will contribute 6 percent pf
their salaries and the town
7.34 percent to the retire
ment fund.
In other action, the board:
? Voted to have Les
Anderson and Wade Carlton
repair the roof of the gym
nasium at the recreation site
at a cost of $4,200.
? Reappointed Everett
Westbrook to the board of
adjustments and Marvin
Sutton to the Alcoholic Bev
erage Control Board.
? Appointed Donald
Blackburn to the recreation
commission to succeed Carta
Quinn, who resigned.
FAIR ENTRY - Andrew and Melba Keath
Aty, owners of Bar K, Route 1, Albertson,
"ill enter this Limousin heifer i 1 the second
annual Duplin County Agribusiness Fair.
Keathley, left, exhibited this heifer along
with her mother at the fair last year.
Showing the heifer in competition will be
Tommy Millard, right, an 8th grade student
at B.F. Grady Elementary School.
Limousin Returns
To Fair To Duplin Fair
Andrew and Melba Jean
JCeathley, Route 1, Albert
?.n, breeders of registered
Limousin cattle, 're
grooming a heifer for the
second annual Duplin County
Agribusiness Fair to be held
in Kenan^ville at the old
Kenansville Elementary
School Oct. 3-8. 1983.
The Limousin breed of
cattle is probably less well
known than many other
breeds, but has a potential of
becoming very popular as
9>"iousin is known as "the
carcass breed." Limousin
crossed with commercial
herds will produce calves
that will have a higher cut
ability rate with a better .yield
grade.
Keathley stated that he is
34 years old and has been
farming all his life. However,
he did admit he took time out
to obtain a degree from
North Carolina State Univer
sity in Raleigh. That is where
he became interested in the
Limousin breed and he now
maintains a herd of 22 breed
ing cows.
The cattle business is a
joint venture with Andy and
Melba, however they both
pursue other interests. Andy
tends a ISO-acre farm ?
corn, soybeans and alfalfa
hay. His lovely wife. Melba,
is also a "school marm" and
is an instructor at nearby
Mount Olive College, where
she teaches accounting, eco
nomics and data processing.
Interestingly, this will be
the second time this animal
will attend the Duplin County
Agribusiness Fair. Last year
at fairtime this heifer was
about one month old and she,
along with her mother, were
exhibited.
The size of the adult
Limousin attracted much at
tention last year. This year's
entry will be smaller because
of the age of the animal, but
she will surely prove to be of
much interest to fairgoers.
Tobacco Workers Are
Excused From School
Duplin County public
schools will excuse from
school attendance students
involved in tobacco produc
tion work at the request of
their parents.
The students will be
allowed to make up missed
work when they return to
classes.
The Board of Education
took this action last week as a
?.sult of numberous requests
from farmers.
The board also approved a
SI increase in the annual
premium for student health
and accident insurance dur
ing the school day. The new
rate will be $10. The $39
annual premium for 24-hour,
365-day student coverage re
mains unchanged.
The board also hired June
^llen Davis as a vocational
ag teacher at Wallace-Rose
Hill High School. The first
woman to teach vocational
agriculture classes in Duplin
County, she has a bachelor's
degree in agriculture and
animal science from N.C.
State University. She has
been teaching in Onslow
County,
During the discussion of
^ie need for students in the
tobacco fields during the
harvest. Board Chairman
Jimmy Strickland moved to
delay the school opening for
a week beyond the scheduled
date, Aug. 22. The motion
died for lack of a second. '
Strickland said the tobacco
crop is as much as three
weefcs later than usual and
the harvest is the latest he
can remember.
"We don't need 500
people to come by and tell us
we have a problem. Some
things you can see for your
self," Strickland said.
Boardmember Carl Pate
said. "Some people are three
weeks into their tobacco har
vest and others have just
knocked the bottom leaves
off and haven't even started
harvesting "
"This is a farming com
munity and people will take it
for granted that we'll do
something." Strickland said.
Supt. L.S. Guy protested
the proposal by Strickland to
delay the school opening.
"The school calendar is a
good calendar and schools
are big business." Guy said.
"In the past we have excused
students for harvest work
and allowed them to make up
missed school work."
Last fall students who
worked in the harvest regis
tered on the first day of
classes and then were ex
cused. Parents will be re
quired to verify that their
student children are needed
in the harvest.
Guy said the schools need
to register on the opening
day all students, including
those to be excused for
harvest work. Otherwise, he
said, the county system could
Jose some teachers.
