Rabon Faces Leonard In District 4
Tom B. R abort Sr of Winnabow
hopes lo win his first bid for re -elec
tion after defeating Tom Simmons
by a margin of 58 percent to 42 per
cent in the Democratic Party prima
ry in May.
Republican Theron (Woody)
I .conard of Inland tossed his hat in
to the ring when Pete Rarnettc with
drew from the race after being unop
posed in the Republican primary
liach was asked
1. Do you think Brunswick
County should build and operate
a new landfill, or should we pay to
have solid waste hauled outside
the county for disposal? Why?
Leonard: Pay for the service
The county has worked out a long
term disposal contract at a reason
able price As long as someone else
is willing to dispose of our solid
waste, we can keep the landfills out
of our residents' communities.
Rabon: I believe our county's
waste should be hauled out of the
county, incinerated and turned into
energy if at all possible In order to
protect the fragile environment there
in Brunswick County, we must find
a solution other than the establish
ment of another landfill in this coun
?y
2. Are you in favor of the coun
ty zoning ordinance as written? If
not, what specific changes would
you like to make in the law?
Leonard: The current zoning or
dinance is an honest first effort at
zoning in our county. I don't know
the full extent of the ordinance, but I
do know that problems keep crop
ping up with it. Recommending spe
cific changes would require studying
the ordinance.
Raboo: Due to the influx of peo
ple to Brunswick County. I believe a
zoning ordinance is essential. A
number of changes have been made
to the current ordinance and I be
lieve that as inequities arc discov
ered in the system, changes should
continue to be made. It may take a
few years before we have an ordi
nance that is best suited for
Brunswick County.
3. The commissioners have re
ceived frequent complaints about
the need for a county noise ordi
nance. Do you feel such a law is
necessary? Why or why not?
Leonard: Not at the current time.
Brunswick County is still rural to a
great extent, with residents who
don't want a lot of government con
trol over their daily lives. However,
with our continued rapid growth, it
is a concern for the future. We do
need to examine options now.
Rabon: During the past two
years, I have listened to numerous
comments, both pro and con, on this
subject. Both sides in this controver
sy have legitimate concerns. At the
present time, 1 dc not have the an
swer to this problem.

"Honesty and Integrity
in Government "
Paid for by the committee to Elect Douglas Simmons
Don Warren, Douglas Simmons Seek
District 1 Seat On Commissioner Board
Don Warren of Shallotte is seek
ing a second term on the board of
commissioners, of which he has
twice been named chairman by the
Demo, majority in party-line votes.
Last May, Warren won a close
primary race against Shallotte sur
veyor Randy Stanley, earning 52
percent of the votes cast.
Republican Douglas Simmons en
tered the race for county commis
sioner after losing a re-election bid
to retain his seat as mayor of Cala
bash. He handily defeated Frances
Babson in the May primary to gain
the Republican nomination.
Each candidate was asked:
1. Do you think Brunswick
County should build and operate
a new landfill, or should we pay to
have solid waste hauled outside
the county for disposal? Why?
Simmons: That depends on what
way is more economically feasible.
We must meet a mandate on recy
Jerry Jones
Tries For
Second Term
Republican Jerry Jones of Shall
otte hopes to win a second term as
commissioner after being elected
first alderman, then mayor of
Shallotte Democrat W.A. (Alfonza)
Roach of Supply is seeking his first
elected office. Both men were unop
posed in the May primary.
Each candidate was asked:
1. Do you think Brunswick
County should build and operate
a new landfill, or should we pay to
have solid waste hauled outside
the county for disposal? Why?
Jones: Brunswick County has re
viewed both of these options. I
would prefer that we have waste
hauled outside of the county, provid
ed we can be assured of a long-term
contract that will include recycling
as part of the agreement. Why?
Bccause of the cost of operating a
landfill and the environmental con
cerns of county residents.
Roach: 1 am in favor of having
solid waste hauled out of the county.
Why? To help protect the environ
mental quality of our streams and
water supplies.
2. Are you in favor of the coun
ty zoning ordinance as written? If
not what specific changes would
you like to make in the law?
Roach: No. The short time the
zoning ordinance has been in effect,
over 5,(XM) parcels have been
changed, not considering the cost.
We need to look at each parcel to be
zoned physically, instead of using
maps at the office.
Jones: Yes. I am in favor of the
county zoning ordinance. But
changes are being made and the or
dinance still needs review for possi
ble changes that are in the best inter
est of the county and property own
ers.
3. The commissioners have re
ceived frequent complaints about
the need for a county noise ordi
nance. Do you feel such a law is
necessary ? Why or why not?
Jones: Yes. Brunswick County is
becoming more populated and peo
ple are living closer to each other.
Residents of our county should not
have to listen to unnecessary noises
in the confines of their homes.
Roach: 1 will be willing to listen
to both sides regarding a noise ordi
nance.
cling in the near future.
Warren: I feel we should con
tract to have our solid waste hauled
from the county. By going with a re
gional landfill concept, we can help
improve our recycling goats ana
protect our coastal natural resources.
2. Are you in favor of the coun
ty zoning ordinance as written? If
not, what specific changes would
you like to make in the law?
Warren: I support the zoning or
dinance. However, I am not pleased
with some obvious inconsistencies
in the ordinance. We need as county
commissioners to continue to evalu
ate and correct problems we see in
the ordinance by using the county
planning board and the zoning board
of adjustment.
Simmons: To the best of my
knowledge, the county zoning ordi
nances as wimcii in*, ix. But h r.ps
cial request may need to be granted
in as it is in towns that have an ordi
nance. A farm, for example, needs
to be zoned as farmland.
3. The commissioners have re
ceived frequent complaints about
the need for a county noise ordi
nance. Do you feel such a law is
necessary? Why or why not?
Simmons: You may need a law to
be able to enforce something, but
some people may go to the extreme
with an ordinance. Someone may
complain, for example, over nothing
(such as a piece of heavy equip
ment). But, of course, we all know
you can't lower the now level of a
bulldozer while it does its work.
Warren: As we continue to be
come a suburban county, noise vol
ume will increase along with other
crimes such as robbery, breaking
and entering, drugs and assaults. We
need to be certain, if we adopt an or
dinance, it is enforceable and does
not bog down sheriff patrol officers
from investigations and arrests of
our violent crimes.
