COUNTY PRESENTS ASTRONAUT'S PORTRAIT ? The Duplin County Board of Commissioners presented Astronaut William Thornton with a portrait painted by Mark Patrus and pictured above. Thornton arrived in Faison. his hometown, last Saturday for the first time since the Challenger space shuttle flight more than a month ago. Hunt Renews 1-40 Promise Gov. Jim Hunt repeated his promise Saturday that a decision on funding the In terstate 40 link to Wilming ton will be made when the N.C. Board of Transportation meets Nov. 18in Raleigh. The decision has been postponed twice. Hunt said he doesn't know the amount of money the board is expected to allocate to the Wilmington-Benson highway. The figure of $20 million has been discussed as a potential 1984 allocation for the project, which is esti mat'>', to cost $200 million total. Hunt, while in Wil mington in May. said the $20 million annual allocation "is not unreasonable." The governor also reaf firmed an earlier decision to pay for the road with 75 percent federal funds and 25 percent state funds, rather than a 95-5 federal-state funding ratio that was pro posed in the 1983 General Assembly by Cape Fear area legislators. The 95-5 ratio would have guaranteed that the federal money be spent on 1-40 because 1-40 is the only project approved for a 5 percent state match. All other projects in the state require matching funds equal to at least 25 percent of the federal contribution. Hunt and DOT officials lobbied in the legislature for the 25 percent match, argu ing that the state needs flexibility in where to spend the money. Hunt made his comments following a celebration for Astronaut Dr. William E. Thornton, who returned to his hometown following his flight in the space shuttle Challenger. In comments during the ceremony honoring Thorn ton. Hunt said the astronaut is "living proof that the harder you work. th'fc higher you will go." "Dr. Thornton has re minded us there are still new frontiers to conquer." Hunt said. "In space as in life, we can go as far as our imagi nations and our will to suc ceed will carry us." Hunt, who was whisked in by a helicopter Saturday morning, sneaked away quickly after the speeches ended. He said he had to make the start of the Uni versity of North Carolina - N.C. State University foot ball game in Raleigh. Hunt, an NCSU graduate, told reporters he was pulling for State, "naturally." Rose Hill Sewage Plans Go To Raleigh The town of Rose Hill is moving ahead with plans to build a sewage treatment plant, which will allow it to lift a local building mora torium imposed because of inadequate sewage facilities. At the town board meeting last week, engineer Dan Boone told the board that plans for the treatment plant have been sent to the state for final review. Boone, who is with the engineering firm of L.E. Woo ten of Raleigh, said the town should be ready to advertise for bids on Dec. 4 and those bids will be received and can be reviewed on Jan. 10, 1984. Because the town board is scheduled to meet that day. he said, a contract can be awarded immediately. After a review period of 60 to 90 days, construction should be able to start by early March. Boone told the board. If all goes on sche dule, the project should be completed by Nov. 1, 1984. Boone said. The proposed plant will be able to process 350.000 gallons of sewage a day . The plant is estimated to cost SI.658.000. which will largely come from state and federal funds. In 1981, local voters ->pproved a bond issue of $375 O for the treatment plant, own officials, how ever. expect the town will need only to raise about $200,000 from the bond issue to pay its share of the cost. Boone recommended that the board complete the pur chase of the Charlie Teachey property for the treatment plant. The 25-acre site is a half-mile southeast of town. The board has not stated a purchase price for the property. TTie board agreed to hire Charles Brixiks, a surveyer, and a three-man crew to survey the property and gather information needed to prepare deeds for the pur chase. The board will pay $40 per hour for Brooks and a three man crew and $20 an hour for Brooks when he searches for records. Brooks had estimated that he and his crew could do the work involved for $6,241. but the board chose to pay him an hourly rate instead of a flat rate. In other business. Ben Matthews, principal of the Rose Hill-Magnolia School, asked the board if it could provide for police to patrol the school. Recent .vandalism at the school has caused $800 worth of damage. Matthews said. Problems with vandalism generally occur late at night and on the weekend, he said. The school is within the one-mile jurisdiction of the town. Police used to patrol the school but stopped in 1979 when fuel prices rose. In discussing the town's garbage pickup operation, board members figured out that the town is making 510,000 a year on the service. Costs for the garbage pickup service were broken down as follows: salaries for three men. $23,000; insur ance and bonds, $2,000; gasoline. $3,600; and tires, $1,000. While those costs total less than $30,000, the town takes in about $40,000 by charging 668 customers at $5 a month, according to town figures. The board decided to in crease the deposit for start ing water service from $35 to $50 and to increase the charge for reconnecting water service after it has been turned off for non-pay ment from $5 to $10.

N.C? Refrlg. No. 2499 M Goshen Board To Establish Hospital Use Policy Sunday The Goshen Medical Center Board of Directors met October 11 in Faison and tabled the issue to establish a hospital-use policy for physi cans at Goshen until the October 23, special called meeting of the board at 4 p.m. "Are we making any progress getting back to Duplin General Hospital?" Francis Parker, Goshen Medical Center board mem ber. asked. "I think this has gone on long enough and I recommend we reques' Dr. (Jeff) Marjgolis and Dr. (Ken) Lee be at the next meeting and the board should make some decision on the matter." The Goshen Medical Center staff doctors are specialists, in internal medicine. Currently, Goshen Medi cal Center physicians Jeff Margolis and Ken Lee are full-time staff members of Sampson Memorial Hospital in Clinton. At Sampson Me morial. call duties are shared ?niong the Duplin doctors from Goshen Medical Center and approximately four other internalists, Jane Silver. Goshen Medical Center ad ministrator, said. She added, the medical center doctors are in the process of sub mitting applications to Duplin General for consult ing privileges which carries no call duties. The refusal of, admittance of the physican assistant and the family nurse practitioner to the Duplin_ General Hospital full-time staff resulted in the decision by Margolis and Lee to join the Sampson Me morial staff, Silver said. Ac cording to Silver, the two medical centef doctors feel the practices at Plain View in Greenevers and Goshen Medical Center have grown to "the point the aid of the physician assistant and the family nurse practitioner is needed for call duties at Duplin General Hospital. According to Duplin General Hospital Adminis tratoi Richard Harrell. state law. hospital policy and ac crediting associations set strict guidelines for mid-level medical Dersonnel oracticinu within a hospital. He pointed out both a family nurse practitioner and physician assistants have worked as part of the Duplin General Hospital staff in past years, but both can do only what they are trained and licensed to do by the state of North Carolina. "We (the Duplin General Board of Trustees) do not want to allow this issue to be used as an excu^ for the Goshen Medical Center doctors to practice at Samp son Memorial Hospital," Duplin General Hospital Ad ministrator Richard Harrell said. "We have tried to explain the situation to the Goshen Medical Center Board of Directors through correspondence and meet ings with the medical center doctors. "Inteniists _ like to trade ?call with other internists," Harrell said. "And, family practitioners like to trade call with other family practi tioners, but in a lot of community hospitals you will find well-trained family practitioners trading call with inteniists. "It is the decision of the physician with whom he trades call. Many qualified physicians have made them selves available to Goshen Medical Center to trade call and these same physicians have been used in the past by Dr. Margolis while on the staff at Duplin General Hos pital." Harretl said. As many as eight of the staff physi- < cians at Duplin General Hos pital are qualified to trade call with Goshen Medical ? Center doctors, Harrell added. Duplin General per sonnel and board members assisted with plans for the medical center in Faison and , Harrell said the hospital would welcome both Dr. Lee and Dr. Margolis as members of the medical staff at Duplin General Hospital. "We, Goshen Medical Center Ser.vice area, are first; we are in Duplin County," Hazel Rackley, Goshen Medical Center board member, said. "And, there is no more qualified personnel in Sampson Me morial Hospital than at Duplin General. (J A special called meeting is scheduled for Sunday, October 23 at the Medical Center in Faison.

UNC Group To Study WallaceStreets The Wallace Board of Commissioners voted last week to spend a maximum of $850 for a study of the city's streets to determine priori ties for paving and repair work. The board agreed to the study by the University of North Carolina Institute for Transportation Research and Education. The agency will analyze the town's 27 miles of streets and determine what repairs need to be done first. The board also voted to continue a search begun last year for land on which to drill additional wells for the town's water system. Johnny Murray, the town maintenance supervisor, told the board the town's nine wells are pumping at capa city 24 hours per day except on weekends, but that he would prefer to be able to shut down some of the wells 12 hours daily. In other action, the board passed a proclamation recognizing Oct. 23 to 29 as Textile Week. Wallace has four textile mills that employ 1,004 people and have pay rolls totalling more than $8.3 million.
