Schools sue to recover Lid off equipment sale By Holly Edwards Municipal Editor The Brunswick County Board of Education filed a lawsuit Monday against Jones' Seafood Restaurant owner Jarvis Jones in an attempt to recover at least $10,000 or the 46 pieces of cafeteria equipment Jones purchased in July for $350 without the school board's authorization. Jones then sold 12 pieces of equip ment for $7,800 to Ed's Carolina Res taurant Equipment store in Wilmington, owned by his nephew Ed Jones, according to Southport po lice chief Bob Gray's investigative repeat Gray said Jones reportedly told his nephew he had paid $4,300 for the equipment. State statutes require the school board to adopt a resolution declaring equipment surplus before it can be 7’m shocked about the whole transac tion. I can't imagine anybody thinking they could get that kind of equipment for that amount of money.' William Turner Assistant superintendent sold or auctioned. A violation of the statute is considered a felony. Gray said. The 46 items -- including stacked ovens, ice machines, coolers, heaters, mop carts, milk coolers, steamers, fryers and trash compactors -- were purchased during the 1970sand 1980s for a total of about $70,000and placed in the Southport Elementary School cafeteria.

School board attorney Glen See Sale, page 7 'Regional' planner is considered By Holly Edwards Municipal Editor The Southport Board of Al dermen gave mixed reviews Thursday night to the concept of hiring a joint planner for the Southport-Oak Island area. The idea emerged at the November 13 meeting of south eastern Brunswick County elected officials, and local municipal leaders are being asked to comment on the pro posal prior to the next elected officials' meeting in January.

CP&L officials say amine built just north of the twin nuclear reactors would constitute a "substantial physi cal hazard" to the power plant and its neighboring industrial buildings. In a letter delivered Friday, CP&L president William Cavanaugh in re quests that the N. C. Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources turn down the project. He says the mine would threaten the op eration of the plant. The announcement was a blow to Martin Marietta, which had been try ing privately to ease CP&L's worries about the proposed mine. The site lies on a i.-PCO-acrc tract just north of the Brunswick plant. A key concern is the potential de velopment of sinkholes caused by pumping water from the Castle Hay ne underground aquifer to expose the 60-foot layer of limestone. CP&L's railroad spur, which crosses the Mar tin Marietta property, ships chlorine and spent nuclear fuel. Cavanaugh says a Martin Marietta study on possible sinkhole develop ment is "flawed andunreliable." Upon learning of the mining application, the utility company hired its own con sultant, Edgerton Environmental Ser vices Inc., to review the report filed by Wilson Engineering Services for Martin Marietta on October 21.

Woodward has been employed by the town for 17 months, and during that time he said he commuted to Charlotte every Friday and returned on Monday. He said his wife and family reside in Charlotte. "It’s just that family matters take precedent over job matters,” Wood ward explained. "A lot of times a big row is caused in personnel mat ters, but this is kind of the opposite. Things are going well, there’s a lot of momentum and people are ex cited about the things we can do."
