Saying Farewell Not Getting Any Easier BY SUSANNE D. SARTELLE, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT South Brunswick Islands Chamber Of Commerce I've had a lot of farewells to say and do recently and they aren't get ting any easier. And writing my final column for the Beacon certainly isn't an easy task. As most of you know, I leave the South Bruns wick Islands Chamber this week to move on to a new challenge as executive vice president of the Jacksonville/Onslow Chamber of Commerce. It is a good move for me career-wise and a good opportu nity for my family. But that still doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to a chamber, a community and special people I have grown to love. The past three years here have been so reward ing. I have been a part of the most aggressive and successful organization I know of. I am so proud of our accomplishments as a team. Tonight, at Business After Hours, is my final opportunity to say farewell to chamber members. Please join us at Brunswick Travel at 5:30 f6r a Hawaiian event to remember. I want to thank the Beacon for allowing me to have this column each week and for the support. It has been a pleasure being able to keep you up to date with chamber happenings. My staff ? Mary, Kalhi, Angela and Ouida ? certainly deserve some praise for all their hard work. They are a major driving force in our chamber and they serve our members well. I am sure these ladies will keep the fires burning and will continue to be successful. When I came here three years ago, I received support and encour agement from Past President Alan Holden and President Don Evans and the whole board of directors. Through the years, that support has re mained constant with each president ? Allan Dameron, Dean Walters, Annette Odom ? and each board of directors. Annette and her current board have a great program going now and I am confident that positive growth will continue in 1992 with Terry Barbce. It does make it a little easier to know I am leaving the chamber in such capable hands! To everyone who has been a board member, to all who have held of fices, to all who have chaired and served on committees, I am grateful. You have made your chamber and your community proud. And each day as I have worked to represent 425 members, I have known that I had 425 business persons backing me and cheering on the chamber. The membership is what it's all abouL So, chamber members, keep your spirits high and always, always, work together. I also have to gel in a word for my husband, Vic. Without his sup port, my success as chamber executive would not have been possible. He has been a prime source of support and has been my motivator when rough times surfaced. He has helped me in my travels and in all facets of my work. We have made a home here and have accomplished many goals together. And he is supporting me again-this move, we make as a family. And last, but certainly not least, there are a few of you out there and you know who you arc-who are very, very important in my life. You have been my cheering section, my idea channel, my motivators, my listeners, my friends. And to you, my friends both professionally and personally, I do not say goodbye, only that I'll see you later. This community and its special people, I will carry with me wher ever I go, now and in the future. You made an investment in me and I made an investment in you. The returns are beyond explanation, beyond expectations. I treasure you, South Brunswick Islands. Keep striving for greatness.

Three Companies Announce Plans i To Locate In Brunswick County BY SUSAN USHER Three new businesses thai plan to locate in Brunswick County could create as many as 250 jobs within a year after opening plants here, ac cording to Tom Monks, executive director of the county's Resources Development Commission (RDC). The Brunswick County Industrial Facilities and Pollution Control Fi nancing Authority was to meet Wednesday, June 26, at 6:30 p.m. at the county complex in Bolivia to consider inducement resolutions and memoranda of agreement with The Northwest Company, Baker's Best Inc., and Taco (pronounced Tay co). Inc. The resolutions would endorse approval of the firms for issuance of federal industrial revenue bonds, which can be used to cover purchase of land, buildings and machinery as well as renovations. The resolutions are endorsements or sign-offs from the RDC that the project would be of economic benefit to the county and would be welcome. Under the federal program, inter pean-stylc cookies as its principal product It is seeking $10 million in bonds to purchase and equip a 48,000-squarc-foot shell building now under construction in the Lc land Industrial Park. The owner, a native of Holland, has worked in the bakery industry in America for more than 15 years marketing and distributing Euro pean-made cookes, said Monks. "He feels like they should be made and distributed from here." The company expccts to employ 50 persons within a year, increasing to 100 by the end of its second year. Taco, Inc., of Cranston, R.I., makes heating, pumping, heat ex changer and control equipmenL It is seeking bonds for a 55 million project in Lcland Industrial Park in an expansion of its 70-year-old business. It expects to provide ap proximately 100 jobs. "They're in push to get rolling," said Monks. "I expect construction to begin in 30 to 60 days and expect they could be in production by the end of the year." csl accrued to industrial revenue bond holders is exempt from federal and state taxes, so the holders are willing to accept a lower rate of re turn on their investment. In turn, they also expect to assume very low risk. "Only very credit-worthy projects arc approved," said Monks. "They must have a letter of credit backing the bonds. The people buying those bonds don't want to take any risks at all." The Northwest Co., a New York based textile firm, is seeking $700,000 in bonds to acquire and renovate the former Freeland Manu facturing Corp. plant, a subsidiary of Perfect Fit Corp., at Freeland. The plant has been closed since last August. The company makes primarily blankets and other emblem items for the National Football League, said Monks. "For the textile indus try I think that makes them kind of recession proof." Baker's Best Inc., a new enter prise, will manufacturer fancy Euro Monks credited Sandy Talc, re gional economic development rep resentative for the state, with assist ing the county in its negotiations with Tako, Inc. This brings the number of projects announced this month by the RDC to four. Two weeks ago. Monks an nounced that Tclcchrun Inc., a Mas sachusetts-based timer manufacturer, will build in Lcland Industrial Park. During the 1990-91 fiscal year. Monks said last week prior to the Taco, Inc., announcement, his office has worked with nine projects. Eight were new locations and one a busi ness expansion. Together they will create more than 500 jobs locally and add approximately S17 million in capital investments to the tax base. "I'm very excited about that, es pecially since it is just my first year on the job," said Monks. The RDC office had worked with four of the clients for approximately two years and with another. The Northwest Co., about six months. The office has been working with one project since 1982-83. Planners Reject N.C. 1 30 West Project A subdivision that would have created 335 lots west of Shallotte has been rejected by the Brunswick County Planning Board. Planning Director John Harvey said there were "various factors" in the board's decision to deny the subdivision proposal, one being that it would likely cause traffic prob lems along N.C. 130 west if ap proved as submitted. The unnamed project was filed by DMS Inc., whose principal part ners arc Jan Dale, Lloyd Milliken and Jim Stoffcl. The subdivision would have consisted of 335 lots on the west side of N.C. 130 near West Brunswick High School, connecting to Wildwood Subdivision. Sixty of those lots would have fronted N.C. 130 at a proposed width of 50 feet each, creating a string of driveway connections to the busy highway. At the board's May 15 meeting, the proposal was tabled so the ap plicants could rework it to provide either reverse frontage lots or a marginal access street along N.C. 130. Instead, the parties involved in Tamar Named BY DOUG RUTTER Earl Tamar, chief executive offi cer at North Clark Community Hos pital in Charlestown, Ind., for the last 2 1/2 years, is the new adminis trator at The Brunswick Hospital in Supply.
