Festive
BY SI SW I'SHKH
Organizers must obtain liability insurance
coverage for the N.l\
Festival-By-The-Sea to be held as
scheduled Oct. 24 and 25 at Holden
Beach
Holden Beach Commissioners
voted Monday night to require the insurance
on the recommendation of
the town's attorney. Doug l.edgett
All the board voted for ;t except
Commissioner Gay Atkins, who
didn't vote at all She said she was
reluctant to do so without knowing
the cost of insurance, but technically
her vote counted as a yes because no
abstention was approved by fellow
board members.
Several monttis ago. the board had
foreseen no liability insurance problems
Since then, the town has
changed carriers and has also learned
it would be liable during the
festival because much of it is held on
town rights-of-way. It is also liable

The town's insurance policy would

coverage up to 5300,000. said l.edgelt.
but only if 11 the Festival signs a hold
harmless agreement with the town:
and 2) provides insurance of its own.
"That is what is implied." he added.
"It doesn't say it."
Commissioner Gav Atkins said she
had not been able to get a price on tincoverage.
which l.edgelt estimated
would be between $800 and $1,000 for
the two days.
She inquired about the possibility
of the town sharing the cost of the insurance.

board made no division. I edgett said
the town's liability would not be increased
by making an undesignated
contribution to the non-profit llolden
Beach Merchants Association. which
sponsors the festival.
Hurricane rreparntions
Commissioners delayed action on
liability coverage for hurricane
evacuation volunteers pending more
information from the N C. l eague of
Municipalities The town at first
thought that by paying evacuation
volunteers a token salary, their service
would be covered under
workman's compensation. But currently
that coverage is only available
to fire department and rescue squad
members, indicated Town Administrator
Bob Ruck. However,
trustees of the I .e.-t ?* ne of
Municipalities risk management pr>
cram were to discuss the problem at
a meeting on Wednesday and contact
the town.
Ir other hurricane-related
business, each commissioner updated
the board on their preparations
in the event of a hurricane, with Commissioner
l.yn Holden expressing
concern about residents' willingness
to cross the high-ri?e bridge during
high winds.
1 can't feel real safe erasing the
bridge in 70 to 80 mph winds." said
Holden. If you had a van 1 think it
would blow you off.
1 think the town needs to look at
getting off earlier than before."
While the bridge may be safe to
cross under high wind conditions,
most board members agreed
residents would be more comfortable

improving drainage along the property
line.
It may not eliminate the
problem." he said, "But it will help
>ne hell of a lot."
Ixe, one of the two property
jwners wun me rnosi severe
drainage problems, said he believes
the development of the West End
caused the drainage problem.
Crowder said the subdivision,
developed more than 10 years ago. is
a low area that doesn't have good
drainage. I.ee's lot and several
others are lower than adjoining land,
which causes water to poo! on them
d District Rallies

Oct. 23 in I.umberton.
At each event I.t. Gov. Bob Jordan
and state party cluurman Jim Van

In Forecast
Some pleasant weather appears to |
be in store for the South Brunswick
Islands, according to the latest |
forecast.
Temperatures and precipitation
should be near normal, according to (
Shallotte 1'oint meteorologist
Jackson Canady, with nighttime lows I
averaging in the inid-OOs and
daytime highs averaging in the !
mid-80s. He expects about a half-inch |
of rainfall.
For the periiKl of Sept. 2-8, Canady
recorded a maximum high
temperature of 86 degrees on the 8th
and the minimum low temperature of
63 degrees occurred on both the 4th
and 8th. i
A daily average high of 83 degrees
combined with an average morning
low of 66 degrees for a daily average
tetnperature of 74 degrees, which
Canady said was about three degrees
below normal.
He measured slightly less than a
half-inch, .45 inch, of rainfall at
Shallotte I'oint.

Suited For Katun
According to a letter from Fred A.
Harris, chief of the Wildlife
Resources Commission's Hunting
and Inland Fishing Division, a site
beneath the highrise bridge is
suitable for a double public boat
ramp. The site inspected was on the
island side of the bridge. However,
commissioners said Monday their
earlier concurrence was tliat the
north side would be better. Iiecause it
would reduce traffic crossing over to
the island. The town will ask the commission
to look at the waterway side
is an alternate site "I'd rather see
one oil each side than a double on 011
the south side only." said Commissioner
l.yn Holden.
