Johnson Jr.. head of the emergency room at the Bruns wick Hospital and medical director tor the county's Emergency Medical Services program, announced his res ignation from the Brunswick County Board of Health Monday night. Johnson, the only doctor on the panel, cited "increasing responsibili ties and seemingly less time in which to carry out these responsibil ities" as his reasons for leaving at the conclusion of the board's regular monthly meeting. "I sincerely appreciate having had the opportunity to serve on the board and hope that I have been able to contribute in some small way to the solution of Mime of the many, and at times difficult problems facing the board while I was a member," Johnson said in his letter of resigna tion. The letter addressed to fellow health board member and County Commissioners Chairman Don Warren "strongly recommends" that Dr. Roger Nelson ot Calabash be named as his replacement. Johnson described Nelson as a "skilled and knowledgeable" family practice physician who recently joined the emergency room stall at the Brunswick Hospital. Johnson said he has asked Nelson about his willingness to serve on the board and was told that he would. After the meeting, Johnson said he had contemplated stepping down from the board for several months due to increasing responsibilities. In addition to Ins emergency room du ties, Johnson said he has been named vice president of the hospi tal's medical staff and will serve as president next year. Johnson was appointed to the board in November, 1992. SENT Lb 1 11= K lO O'LEARY Rose Joins Opposition To Local Port As Entry For Nuclear Waste Congressman Charlie Rose is adding his voice to the growing cho rus of opposition to the possible im portation of commercial radioactive waste through either of two south eastern North Carolina ports. In a March 10 letter to federal Department of Energy Secretary Hazel R. O'Leary, the 7th District representative objects to use of ei ther the U.S. Army's Sunny Point terminal near Southport or the North Carolina State Port at Wilmington. He urges the department to extend public comment an additional 60 to 90 days as a means of "helping re store people's faith in this process." State officials indicated last week they think Sur ny Point, which start ed out as an alternate rx>rt, may be the U.S. government's top choice for accepting highly enriched uranium waste from European countries for storage at the Energy Department's Savannah River Site near Aiken, S.C. The spent fuel would come mainly from reactors in hospitals and other research-type facilities. It is highly "enriched," the type of ura nium that could be used to make nu clear weapons if not taken out of cir culation. Gov. Jim Hunt has advised O'l earv the state doesn't want any of its ports used for that purpose. Federally-owned Sunny Point, in particular, would put oversight and supervision of such cargo outside the state's control. "As you are aware, the threat of a spill is not the only potential threat to affected communities," Rose wrote. "The motivation behind this project is to protect this material from the possibility of theft or sabo tage. "Southeastern North Carolina does not have the capacity to any of these potential emergencies." Rose also echoes state officials' concerns about bringing the nuclear waste into the munitions terminal, writing, "I cannot believe that any consideration, including lowest hu ma" population in surrounding area. ><ould outweigh this serious and le gitimate threat." Rose reiterates other arguments marshaled by state officials: ?that the road structures sur rounding both ports are unsuitable, with trucks likely to travel two-lane roads; ?routes would take the trucks through communities unequipped to deal adequately with a a spill or oth er threat. If the trucks go through Brunswick County, the county's emergency management agency would have to beef up its capability to respond. Rose was among federal, state and local government officials ini tially notified of the Energy De partment's search for one or more ports to receive the radioactive waste, part of an international effort to reduce nuclear arms proliferation. In his letter to O'Leary Rose states he had been under the impres sion the agency had "broadly publi cized" the program. "I am frankly amazed that, at the very least, it was not publicized in the communities that would be di rectly affected by importation." he said. Eastern European Visitors To Attend CRC Meeting Here A group ot 17 Russians and Ukrainians will observe the first day of business when the state Coastal Resources Commission meets at the Jones Byrd Clubhouse at Sea Trail Plantation next Thursday and Fri day. March 24 and 25. "They want to see how we do things here in North Carolina," said CRC Chairman Eugene Tomlinson of Southport. "And we want them to see what we're doing here in Brunswick County." The visitors from the former Soviet Union deal with environmen tal issues in their countries and are clients of former CRC Chairman Jim Harrington ol Bald Head Island and Raleigh, an environmental con sultant. Most speak English, but the group is accompanied by an inter preter. They are to spend Tuesday in Raleigh visiting state offices and Wednesday in New Hanover County bef&eyirriving at Sunset Beach. Tomlinson said he would like to see a large turn-out of local residents to show the visitors there is interest here in environmental issues. A pub lic forum will be held at 9 a.m. Thursday, during which people ad dress the Commission about any coastal management topic not al ready scheduled for discussion else where on the agenda.
