Pag??'A-THF BRUNSWICK RRACfl State Wi BY SUSAN USHEH A state decision on which of six applicants will be allowed to build a nursing home in Bruaswick County will be made by the end of March But with an appeai of uie state's decision very likely, it could conceivably be much longer before construction of a nursing home actually begias. said state project analyst Ice Hoffman. "In situations like this in the past a high percentage of these decisions iiave been appealed or they've asked a contested ease hearing," she said. "There's almost no way to avoid it when you have six firms competing for X number of beds." She said an appeal or a request for a contested case hearing can be requested "by almost anyone," in ABC I (Continued From Page 1-A) maps and report prepared for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The town must adopt floodplain ordinances for residents to qualify for regular federallysulisidizcd flood insurance. Under the present emergency program, eight policies have heen written on in-town property valued at $235,000. Kecves said, haseil on his preliminary review of the study, lluit restrictions on development In the floodway of streams would have the higgest effect in Sluillotte.

A choice of two "first steps" exist for an appellant: 1) requesting a reconsideration hearing, at which new information will be presented the appellant thinks the state needs to look at; and 2) the cuntested case hearing, the most frequent choice. Reconsideration hearings usually are not chosen because usually there is no new information to be considered, said Ms. Hs&san. Once begun an appeal can take a year to two years to resolve, with no construction begun in the interim. The time taken up depends in part on the number of cases contested and reviewed at the same time, and the number of extensions to gather inforssues Re To I'ffcct tho clisn"? Jcrrv Jon?s rescinded the motion he made two weeks ago and offered a substitute that was approved with unanimous support. I.ynda Britt. supervisor of the Bpjnswick County Roard of Klections, has advised Mayor Beamon iiewett it will hike two to 2V4 months to prepare for the referendum. Meanwhile, Mayor Pro-Tern Paul Wayne Heeves suggested thai "a good editorial or letter to the editor would help" make the issues involved in the ABC referendum clear. Said Harrelson, "The reason I'm for a referendum without a petition is that I think it is unreasonable to be able to go in a grocery store and buy tile wines with the highest percent of alcohol, hut not wines with 12 or 14 percent." Knlrlcs Viewed I .ate Inst year the board decided the growing town of Sluillotte needed u [Ian of Its own. Hut a month after the Jan.! contest deadline only two entries had been received. One entry by Tony Hewctt in orange and blue appeurs to lie u ityllzcd sun and surf. The other entry is a shin's wheel motif designed bv Police Chief Wayne Campbell.

EMrtti I I B __J l 'n Nursing h mation requested by lawyers for both parties, she added. Presently, the certificate of need section is coping with what Ms. Hoffman described as "the largest batch of applications for a certificate of need it has ever received for any service at one time." The flood of applications began when a two-year moratorium on nursing home construction was iiited last July 1. The result has been a long and sometimes confusing application nrnrpcs To help cope with the crunch, the section has expanded its staff, allocating a project analyst to each health system area in the state. It also extended, for the full 150 days allowed by law, the review period for all nursing home certificate of need ?fined Francis Ashnrv nrpflrlvH nt ramn meetings along the river at the present site o' Camp United Methodist Church. VKD Proposal Aldermen took home Tor review a proposal from the Shallottc Volunteer Fire Department to add a probationary class of membership which would restrict the new member's activities within the department, but not his voting privileges as a full member. Hie town board must approve changes to departmental bylaws. To move to regular member status, a vote of affirmation by the department would be required at the end of three months' probation. The purpose of the new type of membership, would be "to afford a new member with some protection from the dangers of ftrefighting which may arise because of his or her lack of experience and training." Probationers would not be issued turn-out gear or added to the fire plume system, would not lie allowed to drive fire tracks to a fire or to enter a burning building. They would be encouraged to drive die trucks back to the station and to drive in other non-emergency situations. During protwtion, new members would luivc to uttcml ull meetings In Uic three-month pdriod unless excused. "It basically spells out what they can and can't do," SecretaryTreasurer Susan Arnoltl told The Beacon. "Every once ur.d s while you get someone who's gungho and jumps in without Knowing what he's getting into " Also tlie department has, in the past, ordered turn-out gear for new members who didn't show up again, she said. Use of a probationary class of membership is standard in many rescue squads, she said. Hut she didn't know if it is common among fire departments. ving Rules "We've been getting about one a week lately." lie said, with traffic stopped and police officers obligated as escorts for hours at a time "They come through with no advance notice," he added. Recently, wiien a house was being moved from South Carolina to Hokicii Beach, tic continued, "when the lead car almost hit me at the stop light was the first we knew of It " Especially when traveling around town on Rrtdgers Road, he said, movers are also knocking dowrn roadside signs wliicti it is their respon Mauuy w replace.
