Local Students Win N.C. Merit Awards, Continue Competing Mary Rachel Pearce, a senior at West Brunswick High School, and Justin Wade Rohde, a senior at South Brunswick High School, have won N.C. Merit Awards to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The N.C. Merit Award program provides up to 220 one-time S500 scholarships annually to North Carolina students in competition for the Morehead Award. Pearce, daughter of Richard and Susan Pearce of Bogie Court, Supply, is a member of the National Honor Society, is a peer tutor for the science department and has been ac tive in the Fascinating Rhythm Dance Company, participates in track and field and is a varsity cheerleader. Rohde, son of Michael and Carol Rohde of Yacht Drive, Long Beach, is president of the National Honor Society, vice president of the senior class and defensive captain of the football team. Pearce and Rohde will advance to the southeast regional competition for the Morehead Award on Dec. 7 in Jacksonville. "The N.C. Merit Award recog nizes those students in every North Carolina county who embody the ideals of the Morehead Program," said Charles E. Lovelace Jr., execu tive director of the John Motley Morehead Foundation, the nonprofit organization which administers the Morehead Award program and the N.C. Merit Award program. "Clearly, Ms Pearce and Mr. Rohde have achieved outstanding records in the areas of scholarship, leader KOI1DK PEARCE ship, physical vigor and moral force of character. The N.C. Merit Award helps the foundation achieve its goal of enhancing the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill by at tracting the most outstanding stu dents to enroll here." Pearce and Rohde were selected from among six high school nomi nees chosen earlier by area high schools. Interviews were conducted by the Brunswick Selection Com mittee, whose members are Douglas W. Baxley, chairman, of Shallotte, Robert G. Peterson of Leland, Edward F. Mintz of Bolivia, Dr. James Forstner of Southport and Whitney King of Ash. At the school and county compe tition levels, the selection process for the N.C. Merit Award and the Morehead Award are the same. Nominees are judged on leadership, scholarship, character and physical vigor. School committees nominate out standing students to be interviewed by local Morehead selection com mittees. Students selected by the lo cal committees receive the N.C. Merit Award and advance to the re gional competition for the Morehead Award. For those who later receive the Morehead Award, the full schol arship supersedes the $500 Merit Award. Fourteen Morehead regional com mittees throughout the state will se lect the 70 North Carolina finalists to appear for interviews with the foundation's central selection com mittee in Chapel Hill Feb. 26-March 1, 1994. One nominee from each of the 51 selected independent and public secondary schools across the country, five nominees from four Florida committees and two nomi nees from Great Britain also will be interviewed at that time. Morehead Awards provide all-ex pense-paid undergraduate educa tions at UNC. The value of an award for a North Carolina resident is more than $40, 000 for four years of study on campus and summer internships available to Morehead Scholars through the foundation's summer enrichment program. The late John Motley Morehead III, a native of Eden and a 1891 UNC graduate, established the pro gram in 1951. More than 2,000 Morehead Scholars have attended the university. Currently 201 More head Scholars are studying on cam pus. Morehead, an engineer and founder of Union Carbide Corpora tion, lived in Rye, N.Y., until his death in 1965.

In a unanimous vote last week, council resolved that 1-73, a Detroit to-Charleston route whose plan is expected to be delivered to Congress next spring, should follow U.S. 74 from Rockingham to the Whiteville bypass in Columbus County before continuing generally along N.C. 130 to U.S. 17 in Brunswick County. Congress mandated 1-73 in December 1991 to begin in Detroit, Mich., and to terminate at Char leston. S.C. The legislation also re quires the highway to pass near Portsmouth, Ohio, and Winston Salem. The Federal Highway Administration added Myrtle Beach, S.C., to that list. A preliminary route for the North Carolina portion, recommended by the state DOT this summer, would run through the middle of the state, entering northwest of Winston Salem at Mount Airy and running parallel to U.S. 220 to Rockingham before crossing into South Carolina. Columbus County business and political leaders have asked the state DOT board to consider continuing the interstate more easterly through North Carolina, following U.S. 74 to a point between C'hadbourn and Whiteville before crossing into South Carolina and Tabor City. Ocean Isle developer Odell Williamson, who serves on the N.C. Transportation Board, is heading the effort to take that a step further, say ing it makes good sense to have 1-73 continue east to U.S. 17 so that it can serve the South Brunswick beaches and ultimately connect with (he Carolina Bays Parkway pro posed to bypass Myrtle Beach "I don't need to tell you how im portant it is that we get an interstate to come into Brunswick County." Williamson said in introducing the resolution to the Ocean Isle Beach Board of Commissioners Oct. 12. "If we can show the powers-that-be that Brunswick County needs this kind of economic bt)ost. 1 think we have a good shot at having it come in on 17 and then on to Myrtle Beach." No construction funds have been allocated for the highway, which could take years to fund and build. BOATS Affordable! 1-800-545-2293 91 9-457-9080 WHAT DO 1 THESE PRESIDENTS AGREE ON? ' NAFTA.
