Brunswick Community College
Aquaculture program a splash
By Laura Kimball
Feature Editor
Ground was broken last week on
an area that will accommodate
Brunswick Community College’s
Southeastern North Carolina Aqua
culture Center.
The focal point of the center will
be 22 ponds for fish farming and
several buildings located on the col
lege’s main campus, off U. S. 17
near Supply.
JoAnn Bellamy Simmons, chair of
the Brunswick County Board of
Commissioners, was present at the
groundbreaking. As a member of the
farming community, she said, she
can appreciate what the college is
doing.
“The aquaculture project will give
Brunswick County farmers and
other residents a chance to expand
and diversify their crops,” she said.
“The aquaculture project will trans
late into jobs for Brunswick
County.”
The project is part of a $2-million

stration (EDA) grant. To qualify for
the federal EDA grant, the college
had to produce funds that at least
matched what they were given. The
college’s share of the cost amounts
to over $3 million, which was
invested in the newly completed sci
ence and health building.
Components of the project include
the ponds, which will have a 17-acre
water surface; field buildings,
including a classroom building, a
hatchery and wet lab, a recirculation
building and two storage buildings;
the classroom and laboratory build
ing; equipment and "supplies; and
the expansion of the Industrial
Education Center at Leland.
According to Dr. Michael Reaves,
president of the college, the aqua
culture program has been in the
works since 1992. The program
actually started in 1994, with stu
dents using area fish farms for
hands-on experience.
“The future for aquaculture in
North Carolina, and in this region, is
bright,” he said at the ceremony.
Students of the aquaculture pro
gram receive two-year associate
degrees. Graduates are equipped for
a variety of jobs, like working for a
state or federal fish hatchery or
opening their own aquaculture oper
ation.
This week we celebrate
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Did you know?
Deodorants and Powders contain ingredients such as aluminum choride salts which can
show up on x-rays and appear similar to calcification of cancer. This is why your
technologist asks you not to wear deodorants and powders before your mammogram.
Did you know?
Mammograms are frequently performed on men to detect breast cancer.
Did you know?
You can schedule a mammogram right here in Southport at
Dosher Memorial Hospital even if your doctor is in Wilmington?
Did you know?
That a person should receive their baseline (first) mammogram between
the ages of 35-40 depending upon family history of fibrocystic disease.
Mammograms should be done yearly from age 40 from then on.
Did you know?
It only takes about a half an hour to perform a mammogram.
Insurance tip...
For preventative and diagnostic mammograms, your yearly mammogram
, should be scheduled after 12 months since your last mammogram.
Use this rule of thumb: 12 months plus 1 dav for vour yearly mammogram.
HOWEVER, if you notice a problem, certainly schedule your mammogram immediately.
To schedule a mammogram at Dosher Memorial Hospital,
call our Diagnostic Imaging Department at (910)457-3881

Much of the excitement over the
program stems from the fact that
fish farming is such a growing
industry in this area, according to
rhomas Ellis, director of aquacul
ture and natural resources for the N.
■C. Department of Agriculture, who
was also at the groundbreaking.
"Shellfish and finfish are the
fastest-growing form of agricul
ture," he said.
After the groundbreaking, every
one was invited to a dinner of fried
catfish, a common product of fish
farms, to celebrate the occasion.

“Perhaps you sent a lovely card
Or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a floral piece;
If so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words
As any friend could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much, whatever the part”
