Thursday, March 10. i'»U The Evans Report / By step. Charles D, Evans As of Friday, March 4, the North Carolina General Assembly has completed its 38th day of the Legislative Session. There are many issues under consideration both of a State-wide interest as well as local interest. I would like to start this legislative report with an up date on the deliberations on the Governor’s Bill to deal with drinking drivers. The House Judiciary 111 Commit tee continues its deliberations on this matter. One of the mo6t controversial features of this proposed law is the Dram Shop. You will recall from my previous reports that I have been very much involved with the consideration and rewriting of this section. The changes that are being made, I think, very much improve the Dram Shop provision as it affects our business community. Although I think it is very important to place more responsibility on the sellers of alcoholic beverages, I con tinue to support and work for alternatives to the original Dram Shop proposal. I am confident that the General Assembly will adopt a provi sion that will be fair to the af fected business community. Two matters, more of a local nature, are receiving quite a bit of attention. They are the proposed incorpora tion of the Currituck Outer Banks and a bill introduced by Senator Daniels in the Senate which is intended to open to unrestricted access and use of the road leading from Dare County to the village of Corolla. The Board of Commissioners tehirlc Pnnntv as wp|| fc ©any citizens, are interested m both of thes£V matterdU Unlike the bill dealing With the road leading to Corolla, there is no bill pending deal ing with the incorporation of the village of Corolla since this matter has not been en dorsed by the Currituck Board of Commissioners. I will be involved in meeting with interested parties con cerning these matters. Another issue that attrac ting a lot of local inte&st is a proposal to levy a tax on motel and hotel rooms and restaurants.' I have heard rumors that the Mecklenburg delegation in the General CHICKEN MANURE For Sate —Bag or bulk. Wilt consider delivery. Call Emmett Winborne - 221- <204.

Another proposal which has recently surfaced would include restaurants. At this time, I am not convinced that any of these proposed taxes would be a wise thing to do. I think the idea of an additional sales tax would be fairer and better received. Another item that has recently emerged as a rather controversial issue is the pro posed resolution expressing the North Carolina General Assembly’s concern in bilateral, verifiable nuclear freeze. Many people in our State and in the First District feel that the escalated nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union is greatly increasing the possibility of a complete world-wide nuclear holocaust which would very likely end up making the earth uninhabitable by human be ings and life as we know it to day. On the other side of the issue are those who feel that the United States should con tinue to develop and employ nuclear weapons in order to not end up in an inferior posi tion visavis the Soviet Union. I personally believe that the point has been reached that both nations can completely obliterate the other many times over. It does seen somewhat senseless to con tinue to develop nuclear weapons as long as each na tion is deterred by the other’s already existing forces. I look forward to heading from any n.iy4»detsxflßcet>iJog.tbeir opi nions on this imtter. iil are all ve#l>appy to s •& that Governor Hunt has made a complete recovery from his recent illness brought on by an attack of appendicitis. The Governor was hospitalized for several days following his operation and recuperated at the Masion several days following his release from the hospital. Now he is back in his office on a regular schedule. I continue to be amazed at the energy displayed by our Governor. I feel that we are indeed fortunate to have such a man as Governor Jim Hunt in office. I very much enjoy working with him and think he is an asset to our State. This past week in the General Assembly the Natural and Economic Resources Committee of the House had a presentation dealing with the Coastal Area Management Act. Secretary Joseph Grimsiey of Natural Resources and Community Development which has the office of Coastal Management has appeared before the com mittee along with the director of the Coastal Management Office and some of his staff. I appeared before the commit tee to explain the bills dealing with the Coastal Management Act that have been introduc ed as a result of the recom mendations of the study com mission which I co-chaired on the Coastal Area Manage ment Act. Several of these bills I propose to amend from their original version in order to *-><■»(• them better bills. There seems to be a great deal of support not only among the citizens of the 20 coastal counties in North Carolina but also among the members of the General Assembly. I hope that in terested parties will com municate any thoughts they may have concerning revi sions to these bills, or for that matter, any recommenda tions concerning the Coastal Area Management Act. I will continue to work toward a reasonable but effective coastal management program. In Search Os Wine Heritage ROSE HILL-A search is on for rare North Carolina wine and wine artifacts I In attics and basements, packhouses and on display shelves across the state are the treasures of North Carolina* grape and wine heritage - mute testimony to a once thriving industry. None are unimportant • some are quite valuable. Beginning in 183 S with Medoc Vineyard in Halifax County, our nation’s first commercial winery, North Carolina grew to become the leading wine state in the Union before Prohibition halted commercial wine production. He .«*. „ From “Murphy to Manteo” the state was literally pep pered with successful wineries in Fayetteville, Cas tle Hayne, Wilmington, Con over, Eagle Springs, Gibson, Littleton, Louisburg, Manteo, Murphy, Peachland, Holly Ridge, Samarcard, Try on, Warrenton, Willard, Eden ton and Icard. With the revival of the state's commercial grape and wine industry, marked bottles signs, packing boxes, and of course wine, are now being sought by collectors. In recognition of the in terest and demand for these artifacts Duplin Wine Cellars, now the States largest winery, will sponsor a North Carolina Rare Wine and Artifacts auc tion and banquet April 30th at the winery. Everyone is in vited to submit such finds to the winery for auction, or, to display. Beginning at 2 P.M. collec tors may exchange wines or artifacts to complete collec tions or purchase autograph ed copies of “Scuppernog: North Carolina’s Grape and its Wines” by Dr. Clarence Gohdes. A speech by Dr. Gohdes, formerly of Duke University and a noted authority on North Carolina’s native grape, will be featured at the banquet. Reserlations for the day’s events and banquet will be SIO.OO and must be made by April 23rd. Items to be auc tioned, displayed, or exchang ed may be delivered to the winery any time prior to 2 P.M. April 30th. If you are interested in sub mitting items, know someone who may be interested, or wish to make reservations, please contact Pam Pope, Duplin Wine Cellars, Drawer 756 Rse Hill, N.C. 28456, telephone (»1») 280-3888. WINTER OVERCOAT. •am; *IP|. Don't Go Old WttWMitK. THE CHOWAN HERALD I want to encourage any of you who are interested in do ing so to contact me by telephone or letter concerning any issues of interest to you. Also, I would like to issue a special invitation to any of you yrho Are in the Raleigh area during the Session to come by to visit and see the General Assembly in Session. It is truly an interesting pro cess and one which I think would make you more aware of our government in action. une of the things which I atu «ifeti we are able to have is for high school students to be able to come to the General Assembly to serve as pages. I remember very well my ex perience as a page during my senior year in high school. This Session I have had the following to serve as pages: Jennifer Belch from Plymouth, Kimberly Hudson from Moyock, Rebeeca Michelle Hutchins from Plymouth, and Whitney War ren from Wilmington. I believe all of them have benefited by their experiences. Cards Os Thanks I would like to thank each and everyone for their cards, flowers and calls in the home going of our loved one, my brother, Lemuel Garfield Rouson, Mary R. Jemigan Mar.lo.pd. We would like to express our deepest thanks to everyone for being so generous to us in our time of tragedy. The many gifts given to our family will never be forgotten. The fire was so unbearable but with our friends and relatives’ help we have been able to start over again. God bless each of you. Durwood, Rhonda, Valerie ft Stacey Copeland Mar.lo.pd.

Mbstly, they live up to the potential. A public meeting is suppos-. ed to be used to gather public opinion on an idea or a list of ideas. Hopefully, a lot of peo ple will attend and a lot of opi nions will be expressed so those conducting the meeting wifi understand what the peo ple involved are thinking about the topic of the day. It just never works that way. The probelm is a matter of numbers. A recent example was the annual public meet ing for central area fishermen conducted by the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission February 24 in New Bern. Fishermen were urged to at tend and express opinions on any changes they thought necessary in Marine Fisheries regulations. Other meetings will be held soon in the southern and northern areas. Let’s say this meeting should have drawn fishermen from five counties (Onslow, Carteret, Pamlico, Craven, Beaufort).

The licenses indicated 2,301 of them were bought by full-time commercial fishermen, 3,273 by part-time commercial fishermen, and 3,831 purchase the license only for recrea tional reasons. This does not include seafood dealers, en vironmentalists, etc. in the five counties. The evening of February 24 found 37 people in the au dience (not including govern mental and news media employees). That was a disaster because 37 individuals just do not represent 10,000. Someone could say most fishermen are content with current regula tions. He or she would be out of-step with the times to believe that. Fishermen are in trouble, and these public meetings should be the for ! mat to air their grievances. The disaster gets darker when someone in the meeting room believes the opinions voiced are representative. It expands frighteningly when Aaawt, 20. Greek letter - 22. Pack ing box 23.

Affirma- Uve votes vast audiences look at televi sion or read a newspaper ac count of the meeting and believe the opinions were representative. Those that attend a Marine Fisheries public meeting and give a good presentation make a positive impact on Commission members. Emo tions and shyness are sometimes a barrier, however. After a rather noisy public meeting earlier in the month, about a specific pro blem, Commission Chairman Jerry Gaskill said, you heard that old saying about you can catch more bears with honey than with vinegar. Too many, he said, come to us with vinegar in their mouths. Jerry is sincere in trying to gather enough opinions from enough people so the Commis sion really knows what the majority of fishermen want. He needs it. The fishermen need it. With increasing pressures of skyrocketing operating costs, competition from newcomers, and water quality, the need for their organized voices is critical. In addition to a central voice, commercial fishermen are splintered into interest groups depending on the type of gear used and the species caught. Jerry said recently com mercial fishermen will soon become extinct unless things change. They are just going to have to do a better job of JOHN DOWD & ASSOCIATES, INC.
