Boney & Associates Will Design New Leland School Work will begin right away on plans for a new elementary school to be built in the Leland area, with Money & Associates Architects of Wilmington awarded the contract. "This will save us nearly $97,000 in design fees." said board chairman Donna Baxter. "With the county commissioners wanting us to keep expenses down that seemed the best way to go." Using information from the peo ple who will use the new school, the architectural firm will reconfigure its plans for Supply Elementary School to suit the needs of the Leland school community and re quirements of the site. The new school, which will be built to serve f>(M) to 650 students, is intended to relieve existing over crowding at Lincoln Primary and I eland Middle schools and serve an ticipated growth in northern Bruns wick County. The overall project is expected to cost approximately $5.9 million. A site must still he purchased anil Baxter said the board is looking "at some good possibilities." "We're trying to get some really inexpensive land." said Superin tendent of Schools Ralph Johnston. "Of course we'd like to have water and sewer too." Funds are available now for land acquisition and project design. If the school board and county commis sioners can reach agreement on an approach to financing construction before the end of the budget year on June 30. the commissioners have agreed to advance another $500.(MK) so that construction can begin as soon as possible. Boney & Associates was one of six firms interviewed for the job.

"Students Tutoring and Reading" (STAR) enables high school students to help younger students improve their reading skills. The Brunswick County Literacy Council, in cooper ation with North Brunswick High School, trained nine students in March Boh Harris. NBHS principal, recog nized the need for a consistent tutoring program in the community, particularly with (he younger grades, and decided to begin a program using the trained tutors with the guidance of Dr. Pat Carney, principal of Lincoln Primary School, and Diana Mintz. principal of Leland Middle School. STAR is the first program of its kind in Brunswick County, allowing high school tutors to travel to the ele mentary and middle school twice a week to help im prove the reading skills of children, according to spokes man Alicia Peterson. All three community schools bene fit from the tutor-student relationships by "providing an enjoyable volunteer experience for the high school tu tors and consistent one-on-one attention for the younger students as they work to improve their reading skills." The school hopes to expand the program later this fall. The NBHS tutors include Heather Benson, Shariene Bordeaux, Angela Brown, Andrea Daupinais. Shannon Dorsey, Alassandra Gibbs. Jennifer Loftis, Athelia Moore and Krista Thornton, all of Leland. In addition to tutoring in the schools, several of the high school stu dents work with students in the community.

For the most part it was well done, at times even eloquent. The following are some facts and some thoughts that might prevent us from getting caught up in the prose at the expense of over looking the actual content. We will start with the Mayoral Candidate, Mrs. Minnie Hunt. In order to do justice to Mrs. Hunt, one must consider her years of participation as an officer in the Taxpayers Association and her activities while in that capacity. Mrs. Hunt was loud and clear in her opposition to the annexation of the mainland territories. Having failed in her efforts to stop it, she led a proposal to have the island separated from the town. Mrs. Hunt is now asking to be allowed to unite and lead a community that she did not even want to exist and that she did not want to be part of. Mrs. Hunt attempted to block construction of the Food Lion, a highly popular venture with the residents. Mrs. Hunt and her T.P.A. colleagues were successful in block ing efforts to upgrade the bridge, despite knowing that the major ity of the residents both on the island and on the mainland, favor some type of improvement. Progress on the bridge was stopped under the pretext of the need for further review and additional study. Does that sound familiar? It is the same rhetoric that is now surfacing relative to the sewer /s tor mwater project. If we allow it, Mrs. Hunt will bury this project with red tape and misinformation, until the real issues of the sewer, like those of the bridge, are pushed so far afield that they will lose momentum and fade into the background. This would be viewed as a success by Mrs. Hunt, but would be a great loss to the residents, the majority of whom favor the sewer /stormwater pro ject. Mrs. Hunt's politics have never given much consideration to the wishes of the majority. Her politics are now and always have been self-serving, divisive and disruptive; hardly the qualities of someone we can trust to unify and lead us. We must ensure that Mason Barber is allowed to continue as our mayor, a position he has admin istered effectively for a number of highly success ful years.
