too) and so the entire democratic
process breaks down . .. the reality
being that our public officials are just
spinning their wheels making
new spaper headlines.
There have been some hints that
North Carolina will be facing more
severe problems of the sort too, and
so I think it is time for good citizens
to get our big-spending politicians
back into the world of reality. We
should tell them:
1. Replace bigger jail sentences in
drug crimes by capital
punishment . . . nublic haneine to
D o ?
send the message clearly:
2. Automatic death sentences
should be carried out promptly
against any alien convicted of drug
crimes within our national territory;
3. The citizenship of any American
found to be guilty of dealing in drugs
outside our territories should have
his or her citizenship revoked. The
price for international involvement is
not stiff enough;
4. All prisoners incarcerated for
drug-related crimes or d:ug dealing
should wear shirts or coats announcing
the crime especially when on outside
work details. This would give
our young people a ready reference
to what might happen to them if they
take drugs and increase the
psychological penalty for the guilty;
5. The construction costs of new
jail facilities anywhere should be
limited to a capital cost per prisoner
at overload capacity equal or below
the average capital cost of housing
per citizen in the jurisdiction financing
the jail. If applied in Prince
George's County, this rule would
have limited new correctional
facilities construction to about $20
million for a 1,000 (overload) capacity
jaii.
Of course, that means the money
needed to secure residency will
reduce the amount spent for comfort.
Tough.
But it is a gross injustice for tax
im)uik citizens 10 erect tiousing for
wrongdoers which costs more per
person than what good citizens can
afford for themselves.

In Your Corner
To the editor:
My oh my, how the truth hurts. In
Jesse A. Bryant's rebuttal to my
answer to his letter, it appears that if
you do not believe as he and the
NAACP do, then you are racially prejudiced
and are living in the dark
ages. Surely Mr. Bryant realizes that
he cannot suppress the opinions of
citizens just because they do not
agree with him.
Mr. Bryant states that he and the
NAACP work for the rights of all
races. If this is true then the NAACP
should change their name to the
NAAAP, or the National Association
for Advancement of All People, not
just colored.
Mr. Bryant states that my opinion
as to how the NAACP would have
become involved if the victim were
white was contrary and untrue. I
challenge Mr. Bryant to provide just
one letter to your newspaper, written
by Mr. Bryant, condemning a similar
crime committed by a black against
a white. The ball is in your court, Mr.
Bryant. If you produce the letter,

There is no way for me to say thank

So many of us are transplants from
other parts of this great nation. But
never could we have found a better

Coastal Plaza, Sh
Commission
Of Gutstaru
While hearings will be held on
three coastal sound areas already
proposed as outstanding waters, the
Environmental Management Commission
last week indefinitely
delayed action on other requests including
a petition submitted by
Brunswick County residents.
Instead of proceeding with identifying
more areas for special protection
from development, the divided
commission last Thnrsrtav untoH C to
5 to take up to a year to first define
"outstanding resources waters"
more precisely.
The measure halts, at least for
now, petition efforts by five coastal
organizations to nominate 10 areas in
Brunswick, New Hanover, Pender,
Onslow and Carteret counties, as
well as the 1,100-signature petition
received last Monday asking that all
open shellfishing water in Brunswick
County be considered for protection.
The EMC has also agreed earlier to
consider special protection for the
Waccamaw River; a hearing is ex- L
pected to be held in late summer.
The N.C. Division of Marine
Fisheries has nominated the lower
l.ockwood Folly River, a primary
nursery area, and part of the area for
which special protection is sought in [
the local petition. t
Annie Smigiel of Varnamtown, who c
helped circulate that petition, told t
The Brunswick Beacon the purpose
of the petition is to protect local v
waters from intense development ti
that might further endanger local v
fishing and shellfishing?and the jobs g
that natural resource provides.
'I don't know exactly what way we tl
go from here," she added. "It looks F
like the river is going to be shut s
down. Right now it seems like we're
beating our heads against a brick d
wall." a
Mrs. Smigiel said she hadn't expected
the commissions' vote last
week. Instead, she said, "I thought
maybe they would take it into consideration
considering that so many
people were out of work with the red
tide. d
"They've seen how many were out ^
of work then?and it (the red tide's) t
gone?but development won't go a
away. It's here to stay and it's even- f
tually going to knock a lot of people
out."
Jerry Lewis of Shallotte, a retired j
engineer who serves on the EMC, did _
not attend last week's meeting and
was unavailable for comment last
week. He was on vacation out of the
countryHearings
will be held on the first
three areas proposed: Core Sound in d
Carteret County, Stump Sound from
West Onslow Beach to Alligator Bay p
in Onslow County; and the area
around Figure Eight Island from 11
Howe Creek to Rich Inlet in New
Hanover County.
Todd Miller, director of the N.C.
Coastal Federation, one of the groups
pushing for protection of coastal
waters, called the vote a "delaying
tactic" aimed at killing the outstanding
resource waters concept on
which Gov. Jim Martin's "coastal initiative"
is based.
However, Commissioner Bob Griffith,
a Morehead City developer,
pointed out that the process of conducting
hearings on proposed?not
approved?waters stops the building
of marinas and other projects until a
final decision is made. L

Detective Donnell Marlowe last p

"As far as I'm concerned with it, "

The investigation, however, did not
