County Environmental Health Supervisor Robinson Resigns After just over two years with the Brunswick County Health Depart ment, Environmental Health Super visor Andrew Robinson has re signed the volatile post to pursue a career outside government. Aug. 2 was Robinson's last day on the job, though the resignation was effective Aug. 8. "I decided 1 needed to make a change," said Robinson, who plans to join a family-owned pollution abatement and clean-up business. "I think it is for the best. I'd like to have a couple of years of peace of mind. I just wanted to go quietly and peacefully." Instead of working out a notice. Robinson is using accumulated leave to attend an EPA-sponsored lead abatement certification work shop in Atlanta for supervisors and contractors. Health Director Michael Rhodes is handling Robinson's responsibili ties until the vacancy is filled. The environmental health division was the focus of state attention re cently when it was learned that Brunswick County Health Depart ment had not been following a change in state septic tank system regulations that went into effect four years ago. The rule prohibits use of bed-type drainage systems in fill dirt. According to Rhodes, the de partment was never notified of the change. Robinson's division had also been in the spotlight in an earlier dispute over the occupancy rates of beach cottages in relation to the capacity of the septic tanks serving each house.

"They're against having to pay for the license cause most of the time the money goes to the general fund," Land said. "If it went to the water here most people would probably pay it." The state committee studying the issue proposes putting all license fees in a special fund that could only be used to cnhance saltwater recreational fishing. The committee favors setting aside 25 percent of the license fees for law enforcement and at least 25 percent cach for marine fisheries research and resource enhance ment. The rest of the fees would pay for administration, grants for saltwater fishing programs and public educa tion. Dale McDowell, longtime member of the Brunswick County Fishing Club, said the club would support the recreational license as long as the fees arc spent to help fishermen. "We could go along with that. It would have to be guaranteed to come back to the fishermen." McDowell said. "I'd hate to sec my fishing liccnse pay for a high way up around Charlotte." The concept of a recreational saltwater license has been discussed off and on for 10 years. It resurfaced recently when Stale Rep. Fred Bowman introduced legislation calling for such a license. Bowman represents the north-central section of the state ? Alamance. Caswell and parts of Orange and Rockingham counties. Bowman's bill was referred to the legislative Study Commission on Seafood and Aquaculture. which then asked the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission to take a look at the proposal. MFC Chairman Bob Lucas set up the Saltwater License Committee, which will likely hold meetings in late September or October to gauge public opinion, said Nancy Fish, spokesperson for the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. The primary objectives of the proposed license would be conserving saltwater fisheries and enhancing recreational fishing in North Carolina. The license, which would be required for anyone over age 16. also would allow state officials to docu ment the number of recreational anglers in order to bet ter manage the fisheries. Proposed fees are $5 for a one-week license. Si 5 per year or S250 for a lifetime pass. The same fees would apply to North Carolina residents and visitors. The committee proposes discounts for the handi capped and people over age 70 and no fee for people who can prove eligibility for low-income assistance pro grams. Managers of fishing piers and charter boats would be given the option of purchasing special licenses to cover their customers. Fish said the proposal changes just about every time the committee meets. "We all know when it goes to pub lic meetings and then to the legislature it will look noth ing like it docs now," she said. "The department is very interested in this and they would like to see it go to the legislature in 1995," Fish said. "A lot of recreational groups, the ACCA for one, feel our fishing resources are stressed and with the cre ation of revenues from a license money could be put back into the resource." tress Lube _ OF NORTH MYRTLE BEACH Havoline 17 Point Oil Change Specialists grand opening .
