Industrialists Responding To EDC
Study Cite Skills, Education Needs
(Continued From Page 1-A)
The study was commissioned to
determine which industries have the
greatest potential for locating in
Brunswick County, allowing the
EDC to focus its advertising and
promotional efforts toward those
firms. It examines national industrial
growth trends and evaluates the
county's advantages and limitations
for attracting new manufacturers to
the area.
Surveys of the county's "industri
alists" and interviews with 40 busi
ness, government and industry lead
ers were used to help determine the
county's strengths and weaknesses
as a home for manufacturing firms.
More than half of those surveyed
believe that the level of education in
Brunswick County is "inadequate."
Respondents cited a need lor im
provements in math, basic literacy
and technical training.
The study notes that although the
number of manual and service work
ers is adequate, "skilled labor is not
available in any quantity." One offi
cial who responded to the survey
said he found productivity among
Brunswick County workers "lower
than expected."
An "operations manager" was
quoted as saying Brunswick County
has "loo many people on unemploy
ment and social services" and that
employers "cannot get them to
work."
Although several of those sur
veyed "showed special interest in
high-tech and blue-chip industries,"
some industrialists point out that
"the area lacks the skilled labor and
other resources to compete success
fully for those industries," the study
says.
Noting that much of the available
labor force is "unskilled and limited
in education," the study quotes an
other "official" who feels the county
"must recruit industry that will em
ploy these people so everyone will
have a job."
On the positive side, the study
cites the county's climate, its ade
quate water supply, access to sea
ports, proximity to a large metropol
itan area and low crime rate as en
ticements for attracting new indus
try. A significant majority of the sur
vey respondents also praised local
police and fire protection, financial
services, cultural activities, lifestyle
and recreational opportunities.
Although the study is critical of
the quality of Brunswick County's
worklorce, it cites the quantity of
potential employees as an asset for
industrial rccruitmcni. It notes that
the area has "a large labor supply at
competitive wage rates in an open
shop environment."
A full 100 percent of those sur
veyed said local electrical service
was satisfactory, while nearly all de
scribed telephone service as "ade
quate or better." But only half were
satisfied with the sewer service.
Many criticizcd the county's trans
portation system, saying that ship
pings routes in and out of the county
need to be updated and noting that
"roads arc regularly littered."
Monks said he found few surpris
es in the consultants' findings and
admitted that the study could have
been conducted in-housc.
"I could have done it myself. But
I don't think it would have had the
validity of a study done by an unbi
ased, outside observer," he said. "1
wanted to know the negatives as
well as the positives because we
need to examine some of the nega
tives to determine whether they are
real or merely perceived. Either
way, we have to address them."
One suggestion that Monks did
not cxpcct was the inclusion of
chemical manufacturers on the short
list of target industries. He said past
efforts to attract such firms have in
dicated that environmental restric
tions make it difficult for large
chemical plants to locate here.
"I was surprised that made the
list," Monks said. "But the consul
tant explained that they were talking
about small to medium operations
with little or no environmental im
pact."
Monks said he plans to address
marketing efforts toward each of the
eight priority industries one at a
time. The owners, presidents and
general managers of target firms in
the Northeast will be sent a series of
information packets about Bruns
wick County, describing what it has
to offer as a location for industrial
expansion.
Most of he companies to be con
tacted will be small to medium man
ufacturers with home offices in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, Monks said.
Proposed Smoking Regs Based On Wake Law
(Continued From Page 1-A)
Dr. Brad Kerr, chairman of the
board's smoking commitlce, said the
group is using a rcccntly adopted
Wake County smoking ordinance as
a guide for drafting regulations for
Brunswick County.
The committee was scheduled to
meet tonight (Thursday) to consider
what modifications might be neces
sary before presenting its recom
mended ordinance to the health
board next month.
The Wake County law bans all
smoking "in any enclosed area in
which the public is permitted," in
cluding public areas within busi
nesses, enclosed shopping malls, all
public restrooms, pharmacies, health
carc facilities and entertainment fa
cilities.
If Brunswick County adopts a
similar law, employers would have
the right to make their entire work
place smoke-free, or they could des
ignate areas for employees to
smoke. These smoking areas would
have to be either outside the build
ing or in a room serviced by a sepa
rate ventilation system "so as to pro
vide a smoke-free environment for
non-smoking employees."
All employees would have to
adopt a written smoking policy and
clearly designate smoking areas in
the building. Copies of the policy
would have to be made available on
request to any present or prospective
employee.
The Wake County law being con
sidercd by the committcc requires
lhat non-smoking areas be set aside
in all eating establishments with 30
or more scats. Initially, these areas
would have to comprise at least a
third of the seating capacity. After
July 1, 1995, non-smoking areas
would have to be expanded to half
the seating area.
As of July 1, 1996, smoking will
not be permitted in the dining areas
of any Wake County restaurant.
Restaurants with fewer than 30 seats
would either have to designate their
entire dining room smoking or non
smoking until July 1, 19%, when
smoking would be banned through
out.
The proposed ordinance allows
hotels to establish separate smoking
areas in conference and meeting
rooms as long as they arc served by
a separate ventilation system.
Enforcement of the Wake County
ordinance is to be implemented by
the county health department. How
ever, the law requires that the busi
ness owner or employer "make rea
sonable efforts to prevent smoking
in non-smoking areas."
In order to adopt a local smoking
ordinance before the Oct. 15 dead
line, Kerr said the board might have
to act without holding a public hear
ing. He said the law allows the
health board to take such an action.
But board member Don Warren
said he was troubled by the idea of
adopting such a sweeping measure
without public input
"When was the last time this
board passed an ordinance without a
public hearing?" Warren asked. "I
know it hasn't done so while I've
been on the board."
In other business, the board au
thorized Health Director Michael
Rhodes to apply for a SI 00,000
grant under state's new "Smart
Siaii" program fui pie-school chil
dren.
The program is designed to estab
lish "local partnerships" of parents,
school administrators, governmental
agcncics, civic groups and local
businesses aimed enhancing the pre
school education and development
of children.
Twelve North Carolina counties
will be selected to participate in the
program's pilot project this year,
with another eight added during the
1994-95 fiscal year. In subsequent
years, the program will be put into
place statewide, Rhodes said.
Judge Reduces Bond In Shoot- Out Case
(Continued From Page 1-A)
There he broke into a home,
pointed the gun at the owner and de
manded the keys to a car, police say.
Instead, the homeowner fired a shot
at Willoughby, who ran back to the
taxi.
For uic ne a I sevciai iiOtuS, policc
marksmen kept Willoughby 's head
in their rifle sights, as he fired scores
of bullets out the windows, through
the windshield and into the roof of
the car.
Willoughby eventually surren
dered and was apprehended with on
ly a minor injury after tear-gas gre
nades were fired into the car. No law
enforcement officers were hurt dur
ing the siege.
Shackled at the hands and feet,
Willoughby shuffled into the court
room Tuesday wearing an orange
iail jumpsuit, crew-cut hair and
wire-rimmed glasses. Appearing
alert but somewhat frightened, he
talked with McLamb and signed the
papers agreeing to waive the proba
ble cause hearing and proceed to su
perior court.
In arguing for her client's release
on bond, McLamb said Willoughby
suffers from a rare skin disease and
requires regular physical therapy.

Also present in the courtroom
were the man and woman Will
oughby is accused of kidnapping,
the couple he allegedly tried to rob
at gunpoint and several of the offi
cers who say they were fired on by
Willoughby during the standoff. All
were summoned to testify during the
hearing.
Before deciding on the bond re
duction, Judge Wall asked McLamb
if he could examine the sealed, con
fidential psychological report made
by doctors at Dorothea Dix Hospital
regarding Willoughby's ability to
stand trial.
"I would just as soon no one see
that," McLamb said.
After Willoughby's arrest, investi
gators said he had been suffering
from bouts of depression and had

the weeks leading up to the incident.
Witnesses said that on several occa
sions during the standoff, Will
oughby put the muzzle of the pistol
into his mouth, his nose and his ear
and threatened to pull the trigger.
After the hearing Tuesday, Mc
Lamb said she was "grateful" for the
reduction in Willoughby's bond. She
would not speculate about his
chances for being released or about
any plea negotiations with the dis
trict attorney.
Noting that her client already has
spent two months in jail, McLamb
said she hopes the case is resolved
in early September.
