Harper And Darby To Represent Brunswick In UNC Bicentennial Brunswick County residents Mark Darby of Supply and Ed Harper of Southport will play roles in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill bicentennial observance. Darby, a sixth-grader at Shallotte Middle School, will represent the county at the Davie Poplar Ceremony Oct. 12 in Chapel Hill. The event is part of the bicenten nial's opening ceremonies Oct. 11-12. Harper, a newspaper editor and 1969 Carolina grad uate, has been appointed bicentennial ambassador foi Brunswick County. The university will commemorate its 200th anniver sary with an eight-month bicentennial observance con tinuing through May 15, 1994. More than 100 academic, cultural and historic events are planned in Chapel Hill and around the state. As a participant in the Davie Poplar Ceremony, Darby will receive a seedling from the historic Davie Poplar, a Carolina landmark since the university's founding in 1793. Legend says that UNC founder William R. Davie selected the university site while rest ing beneath the three near the campus center. Tar Heel basketball coach Dean Smith will present the seedlings to a child from each of North Carolina's 1(X) counties. The ceremony begins at 2 p.m. near the Davie Poplar in McCorkle Place. Darby will take the seedling, which is about 20 inch es high, back to Brunswick County, where it will be planted near a public building this fall. Harper will assist with that ceremony. The Davie Poplar project was designed to symbolize the roots of U.S. public higher education in North Carolina, as well as UNC-CH's outreach and public ser vice in the counties, said Steven J. Tepper, executive di rector of the observance. County ambassadors were chosen from nominations submitted by the UNC-CH Board of Visitors and cam pus officials. A bicentennial committee made final se lections. Most ambassadors are Carolina alumni, and many have been active in their communities and with the university. Selection of Davie Poplar representatives was super vised by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. All the children are sixth-graders, symbolic of the UNC freshman class of 2000.

Brunswick Not Selected As A Smart Start Pilot BY SUSAN USHER Brunswick County did not make the cut as one of 12 pilot Smart Start program communities. Cumberland County was chosen from among applicants in the Seve nth Congressional District by the N.C. Partnership for Children. Statewide, 81 applications were sub milted involving 89 counties. The 12 applicants, which include 18 counties, will form local public private partnerships to develop a plan to provide such services as ear ly childhood education, high quality, affordable day care, health care and other crucial services to young chil dren. The plans will be developed by spring 1994, under the guidance of the N.C. Partnership for Children, and are to reflect the unique needs of the various counties. Hunt plans to ask the General Assembly for additional funds to ex pand Smart Start to at least eight more counties next year, and addi tional counties the following year. Meanwhile, the counties not cho sen for Smart Start, like Brunswick, will share $1.5 million (about $18,000 each) to conduct an inten sive needs and resources assess ment. Another $656,000 in state and federal funds will finance similar ef forts in mountain counties that are part of the Appalachian Regional Commission. Education Board The Brunswick County Board of Education was to meet Wednesday, Oct. 6, behind closed doors. The meeting was to begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Board of Education con ference room in Southport, with per sonnel and attorney/client matters on The state is also: ?providing $1 million for improved teaching of day care workers, in ad dition to funds approved by the leg islature to boost the TEACH pro gram, which provides for day care teachers who receive training at community colleges. ?expanding child care tax credits for families earning $40,000 or less; and ?immunization of all children under age 6. ? In addition to Cumberland, coun ties chosen as Smart Start pilot pro gram participants include Hertford, Halifax, Jones, Orange, Burke, Davidson, Stanley, Cleveland, Cald well, Mecklenburg, and a consor tium of Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Jackson, Macon and Swain counties. Tom Tewey, who was chosen by the local application team to serve as project leader if its bid were funded, said he expects the team will decide to have its application critiqued, as offered by the state. He planned to talk Tuesday with the team's meet ing convener, Brunswick County Health Director Michael Rhodes. "I would hate to see that energy and commitment lost." said Tewey. "It was a real education to me re garding how serious these problems are here in our county." Closes Meeting the agenda.
