THE NEWS-JOURNAL
Racford, N.C. May 5, 1988
Election _
(Continued from pane lA)
I just feel a lot of gratitude that the
people have that much confidence in
me.”
A party atmosphere prevailed last
night at the News-Journal offices as
the crowd gathered and then dwindled
as the night wore on and the results
came in slowl>.
The race for County Commis
sioner was too close to call from
start to finish but when all votes
were tallied Upchurch and MePhatter
were the front-runners. Blue Springs
and Raeford #5 precincts were the last
to report in.
Of the light voter turn-out,
Democratic Party Chairman Harold
Gillis said, "We're disappointed at the
turn-out. It's a shame people don't
exercise the privilege." Some
political leaders had predicted a heavy
turn-out because of some of the is
sues which had surfaced during the
campaign, including the scrapping of
the Economic Development Com
mission and the county ordinances
enacted during the last two years, but
only 35 percent of the county's
registered voters cast ballots on
Tuesday.
When asked what, if any, impact
the issues had on the race, front-run
ner Upchurch said, "If you do 50
things and 49 of them are right but
one is wrong in people's minds, they
forget the 49 and remember the one."
But he added, "I want to speak for
both Commissioners, Neill and my
self. We both went back in. That
showed us the majority wanted us
back in."
Upchurch said he worked hard to
get the nomination. "I tried not to
leave any stone unturned," he said,
"but others worked hard too."
MePhatter said, "Each race I have
worked hard on but this one was
more controversial than others I have
worked on."
He said, "The ordinances this
board has passed added to die conU'O-
versial nature of tliis election."
"I thank the citizens for support
ing me. I'm dedicated to supporting
the citizens of Hoke County and
thank them for all the support they
have given me."

Waste plant contract awarded
The contract for electrical work on Phase I improve
ments to Raeford's wastewater treatment plant was awarded
by City Council Monday night to Robeson Electric
Company of Lumberton on their low bid of $63,350. The
electrical contract had been awarded earlier to McCarter
Electric Company but after McCarter failed to execute the
contract Council rejected all bids and readvertised the pro
ject.
Robeson's bid was $782 less than McCarter's original
bid and $17,500 less than the second highest bid, accord
ing to Joe Hardy of Black and Veatch, the electrical con
sulting film which is advising the city on its construction
project.
Work on the improvements at the wastewater treat
ment plant began on April 12 and is expected to be com
pleted by the end of the year.
The city treatment plant is still restricted from accept
ing any additional wastewater from any source, under a
state-imposed moratorium.
Tom Phillips, city manager, told Council Monday
night that he had asked the Division of Environmental
Management for permission to add another customer to the
sewer system following a request from a Raeford resident.
Phillips told Council he was told that when the treatment
plant gets in compliance with its permit, permission to
add a customer could be granted. He says he understands
that to mean when both the influent the city receives from
its customers and the effluent it discharges into Rockfish
Creek has come into compliance with permitted limits.
Phillips told Council the plant was not in compliance
in April. He said Burlington had come into compliance
with its permit from the city but "the other two industries
have not come into compliance yet."
In other business. Council approved the paving of the
following city streets: Cumberland St. from North Main
to the end of the pavement; Lamont St. from Oakwood
Avc. to St. Paul Drive; E. Donaldson Ave. from Weaver
St. to Jackson St.; Stewart St. from Central Ave. to
Prospect Ave.; Third Ave. from Wright St. to Dickson
St.; Water Plant parking lot on Dickson Street; Grant St.
from Saunders St. to Forrest St.; Forrest St. from
Prospect to Sixth Si.; Sixth Sl.from Main St. to Magno
lia Si.; Fifth St. from Main St. to Magnolia St.; Magno
lia St. from Fifth St. to Sixth St.; McMillan St. from
Prospect Ave. to Donaldson Ave.; Edinborough Ave. from
Magnolia St. to the 401 Bypass and Weaver St. from
Donaldson Ave. to Prospect Ave. The street paving
project is expected to cost approximately $70,000.
Also, Council approved an ordinance prohibiting park
ing on the north side of Elwood Avenue between Main
Street and Magnolia Street. The ordinance gives the city
the authority it needs to enforce the "No Parking" signs on
Elwood. There are frequent complaints that residents park
in front of the Post Office building making it difficult for
other people to use the mail boxes.
Council also made its appointments to the new Rae-
ford/Hoke Planning and Development Commission. The
city makes four direct appointments, recommends two ap
pointees from the one mile extra-territorial jurisdiction to
the County Commission, and the County makes four ap
pointments.
The city appointed Ken McNeill who has been serving
as chainnan of the city planning board to a three-year term
on the new board; Theodore Jackson and Ken Booker to
two-year terms and Andy Gibson to a one-year term.
The City will recommend the appointment of Clayton
Buoyer and Terry Houston to tlie County Commissioners.
At their meeting Monday morning Commissioners
discussed their appointments to the new board but delayed
action. They did say, however, that they would not be
bound to accept the city's recommendations from the extra
territorial jurisdiction.
City, county help fund brochure
A letter from a Raleigh eighth-
grader played right into the hands of
Chamber of Commerce President
Alice Glisson and Vice-President
Mary Archie McNeill as they asked
both city and county governing
bodies Monday to help fund the new
Raeford/Hoke County brochures.
Maritza Perez had written the
Chamber in March saying she just
had to have information on Hoke
County to complete work on a
school research paper. Maritza said
she had to make at least a "B" on the
paper or she would fail her grade.
Chamber Manager Lawanna Hayes
sent Maritza the material she needed
but the letter highlighted the need to
update and replenish the supply of
Raeford/Hoke County promotional
brochures.
Chamber President Alice Glisson
spoke to HokCj County
Commissioners Monday morning of
the need for the new brochure which
will promote the city, the county,
and the Turkey Festival.
The brochure will be used in
Welcome Centers throughout the
state and to respond to requests such
as Maritza's and in other ways
designed to publicize and promote the
county and city.
Both County Commissioners and
City Council voted to provide
$3,000 each to help fund the 100,000
brochures which is about a five-year
supply.
Other funding is coming from the
N. C. Travel and Tourism Division
of the state Department of Commerce
in the form of a $1,910 grant, from
the N. C. Turkey Festival and from
the Chamber of Commerce.
