} talk of sharing other services. On
j October 1, the Yaupon Beach Board
i of Commissioners and Long Beach
Town Council annodnced plans to
■j pursue consolidation of the two
' towns, creating the new Town of
i Oak Island, by July 11, 1999.
town manager Bob Grant. HUA
vice-president David T. Upchurch
described the need conveyed to the
firm to move deliberately in its
work.
"We understand the critical nature
of the project, based on the inability
to expand and develop your central
business district and the impending
agreements with Yaupon Beach and
possibly others to serve Long Beach
with public wastewater manage
ment systems," Upchurch wrote,
Upchurch said grantsmanship was
a particular strength of HUA’s. The
firm has aided clients in securing
over $250 million in grants from
state, federal and other agencies.
The first phase of a Long Beach
wastewater system will be designed
to bring sewer service to the town's
many businesses — especially
restaurants - have been unable to
expand and grow due to wastewater
processing limitations.
"Phase I of this long-term goal
will serve the business district and
commercial areas along Oak Island
Drive from approximately 40th
Street to 79th Street where the
wastewater will be discharged to
(the) collection and treatment sys
tem of the Town of Yaupon Beach "
the HUA proposal says.
The HUA description of project
approach says, "Phase I likely will
become the major transmission cor
ridor for the remainder of the island
service area" so it must be designed
with capacities to handle that load.
In all, 10,500 linear feet of 15-inch
and 18-inch gravity lines will be laid
m pnase i anu micm icci ui
force main will complete the project
from a proposed pump station at
63rd Street to the Yaupon Beach
interconnection.
Mayor Joan Altman said Hobbs,
Upchurch and Associates met the
town's qualification that it not have
any business association with neigh
boring local governments.
"One of the conditions was that
the firm selected not be doing busi
ness with the Town of Yaupon
Beach or with 'the sanitary district,"
mayor Altman said, "because of
possible conflicts of interest.”
Walters said the firm's local refer
ences had checked out well, ft is
doing a major sewer project of the
City of Wilmington at this time.
The Point

four working sessions will be con
ducted before a comprehensive
report is made to town council.
"We decided to make the most
cost-effective improvements imme
diately — to improve road shoulders
on West Beach Drive and Kings
Lynn Drive,” Collier said.
Town staff developed the project
further. West Beach Drive will be
widened by ten feet for a distance of
410 feet from its western terminus.
Kings Lynn Drive will be widened
ten feet for a distance of 1,100 feet
from its western terminus.
A ten-inch-deep layer of stone will
be placed to widen the roads.
Collier said The Point committee
has agreed to divide its worx into
five segments. Its next recommen
dations may be for additional park
ing facilities.
"We will be bringing forward
more information and additional
reports,” Collier said. "Pocket park
ing has been an issue in the Fragile
Area Management Plan. The gener
al thinking of The Point committee
is we should develop two larger,
almost parking lots, for between 15
and 25 cars ... each being at the ter
minus of West Beach Drive and
Kings Lynn Drive."
The town currently does not own
the property the committee proposes
to develop for parking, however.
"The space is there,” Collier said.
“We just don’t own it yet.”

CRIME PREVENTION, t
NOT CRIME FIGHTING *
Grime Prevention is a major issue in this campaign. As the crime rate has increased under the current
sheriff’s department administration, I have some new programs that I feel will help in reducing crime Listed
below are several programs that I feel will make a difference in preventing crime. The key to reducing the
crime rate is not in fighting crime, but in crime prevention.
I feel that it is not right to just complain about something unless you have possible solutions to the problems. Listed below
are some ideas that I feel will make a difference in preventing crime and making things safer for us all.
•I would like to set up two new programs aimed at our children. The first program is called Teens, Crime, and
Community (TCC). This program will address problems of teens carrying guns in school, larcenies, shoplifting, gangs,
vandalism, sexual assaults, drugs, alcohol, and more. TCC is an effort between law officers and a comprehensive safe
school approach to educate the youth to avoid weapons, drugs or a need for self-destructive behavior. I want every
student to attend a safe and secure school, one that is free of fear and favorable to learning.
The second program is a nationally accepted program and is called “Fight Crime: Invest in Kids.” This program is a
power weapon which addresses quality educational child care in the first 5 years of life. It can greatly reduce the risk that
today’s babies and toddlers will become tomorrow’s juvenile delinquents and criminals.
• I will require officers to stop by day care businesses on regular basis. This will help children create a better feeling
towards law enforcement. It will give the small children a positive role model. (It’s bad when a small child argues with
others over who gets to be the bad guy instead of the cop.) Furthermore, this will give the parents more piece of mind
about their child’s safety while the parent is away at work.
•I would like to have the officers go to a FLEET GAS CARD system. Too much time is wasted from patrol duties by
officers having to drive from Leland, Calabash or Southport area, to go to Bolivia to gas up their patrol cars. By going to
gas cards each officer will savgf45 to 70 minutes going round trip to Bolivia to gas up. This time could be better spent
patrolling the communities. Gas cards will also save on vehicle wear and tear by reducing the miles driven just to get gas
Using gas cards will also put officers at a business, which is a good crime deterrent. The final thing gas cards will do is put
the money back into our communities.
•I would like to set up 9 COP’s PROGRAM. This is a Citizens on Patrol program in which citizens are trained to be the
EYES-AND EARS of the law. These citizens would wear special shirts and place magnetic signs on their cars and would
patrol their communities. If crimes are observed or suspicious vehicles/people spotted, the citizens-on-patrol would contact
the authorities.
• I would like to set up a computerized program that would call daily to check on the elderly or sick confined to their
| home. ■
• Deputies will start more active patrols off the main roads and more into the subdivisions, communities, and down dirt
| roads for higher visibility to stop criminals from preying upon their next victims.
*1 W'H by to set up one of the most proactive crime-prevention programs that Brunswick County has ever seen. This will
1 include a citizen committee with representatives from the community that I (as Sheriff) will meet with every few
months. This will allow individuals to address the concerns of the people and to find a solution to problems within their
areas.
• COMMUNITY POLICING -1 will guide the sheriff's department in developing and setting up community-oriented
policing programs for our county. Example: officers will be assigned fo patrol areas in which they live (when possible).
This will enable citizens to know their deputies, and vice-versa. This type of policing will help citizens and officers in
times of emergency. Officers will learn their neighbor’s locations, habits, and vehicles that belong in that area. Not even
| l”e best equipped and prepared agency can even be marginally successful without community involvement and support.
• I would like to establish a TRAFFIC SAFETY UNIT that would help to combat the drunk driving problem and
speeding in school zone problems in this county. This unit would help to promote traffic safety and seat belt use for
| children through school programs.
1 *1 would like to form a joint crime and drug taskforce that would include local, state, and federal agencies. This would
| enable officers to share information and actively participate as a team in solving our county’s problems of drugs and
p violent crime. (No more nickel-dime drug arrest.)
•I will try to increase the morale within the department. This can be achieved by giving the officers better job security.
I Furthermore, by enacting the Officers Bill of Rights and following set procedures for disciplinary actions. These smali
steps will aid in reducing employee turnover. To give the officers the best equipment and training available, therefore
increasing the effectiveness of the officers to do the best job possible. Finally and most important, to give the men and
women of the department the credit when they do a good job.
