Well-Traveled Local Couple Killed In Turkish Bus Collision BY SUSAN USHER "They were doing what they wanted to do." That's how Maryn Mall, a neighbor and fellow volunteer, will remember the sudden death of Joe and Lois Giamalva of Carolina Shores. Calabash. Retired educators who were active in community affairs, the Giamalvas were among five tourists killed in Turkey Tuesday. Oct. 5, when their tour bus collided w ith another bus. Frequent world travelers, they had left Sept. 22 on their latest junket, a seven-week trip that was to take them through Greece and Turkey. At the time of the accident they were on their way to Pamukkale. a natural area about 90 miles east of Aydin. in west ern Turkey. "It's just so sad. It's such a shock." said Hall, who served as vice chairman of the Brunswick County Literacy Council last year during Giamalva 's first term as presi dent of the organization. Since 1^89. the Giamalvas had lived in the Carolina Shores community in Calabash, moving here from St. Clair Shores. Mich. Locally his dealh creates leadership voids in two education-related non-profit organi zations. In addition to serving his second year as chairman of the Brunswick County Literacy Council, he was also vice president of the fledgling Brunswick County Edu cational Foundation. "The schools have lost a good friend in Joe Giamalva. the Brunswick County Lit eracy Council has lost a good friend, the Brunswick County Educational Foundation has lost a good friend, the community has lost a good friend. He was a capable, like able fellow," BCEh President Bob Slockett told the Brunswick County Board of Education Monday night preceding a mo ment of silence in honor of Giamalva 's con tributions. Slockett said he plans to recommend to the foundation that it establish a perpetual scholarship in Giamalva's memory. Going by information on the Giamalvas' passports, the State Department contacted Brunswick County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy John Marlow. seeking help in Smoking Regs Defeated By Divided Health Board (Continued From Page 1-A) ing of North Carolina's powerful to bacco industry. Under the new law all public buildings must set aside at least 20 percent of their enclosed area for smokers. "Health boards don't usually get as much attention as they have re cently." Koeze said. "People have really wanted to avoid the heat on Ihis issue. But since health boards are constructed to represent mem bers of a constituency, it seems like they should do so." Local health boards have desig nated seats, including those for doc tors. dentists, optometrists, veteri narians, pharmacists and engineers with other at-large members. Two members of the health board did not attend the meeting Monday. At-large member George Young in stead sent a letter announcing his resignation, effective immediately. He said work and family obligations did not leave him enough time to de vote to the board. Pharmacist Joseph Galloway said he was unable to attend because he was suffering from a virus Monday. Reached at work Tuesday. Gal loway said the board's decision was "a tough call" and would not say how he might have voted. He said he originally supported the idea of smoking controls, but was disap pointed to find that (he health issue had "gotten side-tracked" and other factors were "blown all out of pro portion." Asked if he had felt pressured to vote against the smoking ordinance. Galloway said. "I'm not going to get into that." He said a number of peo ple had come into his place of busi ness to talk about the issue and that the discussions "got to be a distrac tion." "I've got customers I'm trying to keep." Galloway said. Health board member Kerr, who chaired the committee that drafted the proposed smoking ordinance, said he was "disappointed that the special interests and power plays and issues other than public health came into play." "It got so we were no longer talk ing about public health." Kerr said. "If this board is not interested in public health. I don't know what it's for." Kerr also said that he was "totally surprised" by Johnson's vote. "I ful ly expected him to vote for it." Kerr said. "Especially since he told me a month ago that he would vote for it in its original form." Kerr holds the veterinarian seat on the health board. Mintz is the board's dentist representative. New ton is an engineer. Warren represents the board of commissioners. Stanley is an at-large member. Quaintance, a building contractor, was appointed by Warren to fill the optometrist seat on the board. Johnson heads the emergency room at The Brunswick Hospital. He is also under a $10,000 annual contract to serve as medical director for Brunswick County Emergency Medical Services. Windham Sentenced To 40 Years For Indecent Liberties (Continued From Page 1-A) old, was identified and questioned by Detective Nancy Simpson, who headed the sheriff's department in vestigation. The hoy allegedly told Simpson that Windham gave him a Polaroid camera and asked him to take nude photographs of himself and give them hack to Windham. The hoy al so said Windham showed him "sex ual devices" and nude photographs of other young boys. Simpson obtained a search war rant for Windham's home on Wren Place in Shell Point Recreational Village. Police confiscated four pho to albums, 47 "X-rated" videotapes. four bags of pornographic literature. numerous sexual devices, a diary and a bag con taining a bra, panties. blank videotapes and condoms. The drug charges were filed after two of ihe boys alleged WINDHAM |y Simpson that Windham gave them drinks containing crushed tranquilizer pills. One boy said he recognized a pic ture of himself, but did not remem ber it being taken, Simpson said. Ulrich To Take Holden Manager's Job Again (Continued From Page 1-A) manages the duties of his staff well and manages his own time. Bass said Ulrich has demonstrat ed that he can work well with the mayor and board of commissioners and keep everyone informed. "Three-fourths of it is communica tion and that's important." he said. "Gus is very interested in the town, very interested in the commu nity. We need somebody who does take an interest in the town," Bass said. Atkins said she thinks Ulrich is better prepared to manage Holden Beach now than when he first came. He has done residential appraisal work since retiring as town manag er. "I think he has a better handle on the island now than when he first came," Atkins said. "The timing seems to be better for Gus." Ulrich was one of four people in terviewed by the town commission after finalists were selected from a field of about 30 applicants. "I have a number of years of ex perience that 1 can put to good use," Ulrich said. "Hopefully I can help the town accomplish some things in the future."

Calabash will hold a special town meeting to discuss three op tions for building a central sewerage system, the board of commissioners decided Tuesday. "I think it's about time to get on with this and get some information from folks," said Commissioner Jon Sanborn in suggesting the public fo rum. which will be held Nov. I (tat 7 p.m. in the Calabash fire station. Sanborn proposed the meeting as a way to inform town residents about the three sewer plans being considered by the board and to gauge public support for the them. The first proposal, in which the town has invested considerable time and money, is a long-term plan to join with the town of Sunset Beach in buiiding a joint wastewater treat ment plant and collection system to serve both towns and outlying areas. The system would be operated by a water and sewer authority and funded through federal and state grants and loans, which would be paid back through water rates and impact fees charged to system users. The town's tax base would not be Learn How To Do Breast Self-Exam A l()-minute video, "Breast Self-Exam Techniques," is being shown at Brunswick Community College during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Another plan calls for the town to purchase Carolina Blythe Utility Co., which currently provides sewer service for the residential golfing community of Carolina Shores, and to expand it to serve the town's busi ness district and other areas. Company owner Billy Burnett has offered to finance the entire pur chase, allowing the town to pay back the loan through rates and im pact fees. The town has a third option, Sanborn said, which calls for the creation of a sanitary district like the one in Leland. Details of that pro posal have not been released. Sanborn said the results of a fi nancial feasibility study of the Carolina Blythe purchase, recently commissioned by the town, wilt be complete and ready for public in spection before the town meeting. Brunswick Detective Finds Break-In Suspects In S.C. Tl - <" * * ? ? Three men from Maryland and West Virginia who stole two cars and drove south on a crime spree will be charged in three Brunswick County break-ins according to the detective who located the suspects in a Horry County, S.C., jail this week. Brunswick County Sheriff's Detective John Ingram said Tuesday that he heard a bulletin from South Carolina about three suspects arrest ed there on breaking-and-entering charges. He wondered if they might be connected with similar crimes in southern Brunswick County and de cided to question them. "They wouldn't talk at first, but then they 'fessed up," Ingram said. Apparently, the three men got lost on their way south and made a loop through Brunswick County on the night of Sept. 12, Ingram said. Travelling south on N.C. 130, they allegedly broke into the Riverside Service Station in Ash and stole a pistol, a shotgun and a rifle, he said. Turning right on U.S. 17, they pulled into the Holden Brothers Produce stand, kicked in a rear door and stole an undetermined amount of change, Ingram said. Stopping again at the Acme Oil Co. service station at Thomasboro, they broke in through a side door and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the office. Authorities believe the three men may have broke other businesses in Tabor City and in Horry County be fore being "caught in the process of stealing a flag," Ingram said. Curtis Eugene Whitmore, 21, of Fredrick, Md.; Douglas William Tuell, 25, of Hedgesville. W.Va., and Garland Pete Knipple, 17, of Hagerstown, Md. will be charged will be extradited to Brunswick County and charged with three counts each of breaking and entering and larceny, Ingram said.
