said, 'My God, you can't be serious.'
And I said. 'Yes, I am serious. I've

Shallotte Police Sgt. Rodney Gause

Pigott at his place of work that afternoon.
The clerk said she told Officer
Evans that the suspect had "orange

arms where she "clawed him, trying

"I told her the same name the

Guilty To Fo
BY TERRY POPE
Brunswick County Coroner
Thomas Gilbert IV of Southport
pleaded guilty to four charges of
violating the N.C. Cemetery Act in
District Court last week and received
? suspended sentence.
Gilbert and his wife, Linda H.
Gilbert, who own and operate the
Pano Fpnr Mamnriol Qor-Honc in
Southport, were each charged in
April with six violations of the N.C.
Cemetery Act by William M. Gladden
III, administrator of the N.C.
Cemetery Commission. Charges
against Ms. Gilbert were dismissed.
In court last Tuesday, Judge Lee J.
ureer jr. aiso oraerea uiai uiiDert
pay a $2,200 fine and comply with all
cemetery commission regulations
within 120 days. Greer sentenced
Gilbert to two years in priscn for the
misdemeanor charges, suspended
for two years and placed him on
supervised probation.
Gilbert pleaded guilty last week to
1) failing to make deposits in a
perpetual-care fund; 2) failing to
make deposits in a mausoleum trust
account; 3) failing to make deposits
to nrpncod mprrhanHisp tmct an.
counts; and 4) failing to pay the
penalty for failure to make timely
deposits.
Assistant District Attorney Wanda
Bryant agreed to dismiss two other
charges against Gilbert, including
failing to pay fees for grave spaces
sold and failing to make monthly
financial reports.
The N.C. Cemetery Commission

of abutting tanks or drain fields; as
well as:
Conformance with appropriate
state and federal regulations such as
CAMA, flood plain development and
building code.
Other Business
In other business the board:
Vallcard that the town's rating for
fire insurance purposes improved
from nine to seven within areas served
by fire hydrants, which should
result in lower premiums in that
area.
Stumbling a little through the required
parliamentary procedures,
voted 3-2 to name John T. Rose of
I^akeshore Drive as a permanent
member of the planning board from
within the town, appointing Jim
Craig of Shoreline Drive as alternate,
and on a 4-1 vote named Richard J.
Good as alternate member from the
extra-territorial zone, with only Gore
voting in the negative.
Approved the 1985-36 budget and
existing tax rate as previously
presented following review by
auditor John Carraway. "Carraway
assured us the books are in balance
and he thinks we have a good budget
here," said Mayor Jim Gordon. At a
recent meeting, a citizen questioned
the state of the books, alleging they
had not balanced for 1985-86 year or
several prior years. Several budget
transfers had to be reworked Monday
because of computer problems
discovered last week and corrected
by technicians Friday, Town Clerk
Linda Fluegel noted.

ur Charges
last year before pressing charges in
Brunswick County District Court. In
filing the charges. Gladden said that
cemetery owners must deposit funds
from each plot or grave space sold into
perpetual care or trust accounts to
help defray the costs of taking care of
the lot.
When the cemetery sells a space in

complete, the funds must either be
deposited in a trust account or used
immediately to develop the
mausoleum. Hilhert did nnt miVo
required deposits, according to the
testimony in court last week.
Gilbert's attorney, Grover Gore of
Southport, argued that the money
collected from the cemetery sales
was used to develop the mausoleum,
which he said is 75 percent complete
and paid for.
The Gilberts incorporated the
Southport cemetery in 1981 under the
title Cape Fear Cemetery Corporation.
Gilbert is listed as co-owner and
general manager of the corporation,
while Ms. Gilbert is listed as president
of the corporation.
The N.C. Cemetery Commission
sent Gilbert a notice in January 1983
that he was not in compliance with
the commission's regulations, Ms.
Bry ant argued. Gilbert and the commission
do not agree on the amount
oi money me perpetual C3re ana
trust accounts should contain, so an
audit was ordered by Judge Greer.
Greer also told Gilbert that he
must pay the money assessed by
auditors toward the cemetery trust
accounts.

Delayed consideration of a recommendation
from the Sunset Beach
Taxpayers' Association until a legal
opinion can be obtained on current
ownership of the parking area near
the pier now in the name of Beach
Enterprises, of which Ed Gore is
president. The association, in a letter
written by John G. McCarthy and
Minnie K. Hunt, suggests the town
reclaim the area, at one time offered
for dedication to the town for public
use, for public access and parking.
McCarthy said the letter was submitted
as the basis for a possible suit.
Monday's meeting, with approximately
26 residents or property
owners present, was held in lieu of an
August meeting because of a conflict
in Gordon's schedule. The board
won't meet again until September
