He is the grandson of Mr. and .Mrs Simmons of A.sh. Lsaac H. Ellis M. Stanley, Sr., director of Durham/Durham County Ivmergen- cy .Management Agency for the past five years, has announced his resignation to accept the position of director of Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency .Management Agency in Georgia. Stanley, who came to Durham from the Brunswick County Kmcrgency Management .Agency and has Ixicn in emergency manage ment for the past 12 years, sees the new position as the crowning achievement in the field. He is currently the immediate past president of the National Coor dinating Council on Emergency Management. He recalls as highlights his te.stifying before the Senate and House Committees on Emergency .Management and a special Senate committee on Disaster, Relief and Assistance. Stanley sites his accompli.shment.s in Durham as developing an all- ha'/.ard approach emphasizing intra- and inter-governmental community coordination; and a growing awarene.ss that responsibility for disaster management capability rest with the community as a whole, not merely the fire, emergency medical .services, and other public safetv departments. Public agencies have been brought into active relation ships and responsibilities in all ()ha.ses of emergency management. "Durham has lK*en a forerunner in many areas related to emergency management." said Stanley. ’Ihu best example 1 can give is the Durham Hazardous Materials Or dinance that lead the way for the N. C. Ordinance currently on the books." .Stanley said of his decision to resign, "professionally it was a very easy decision to make, but personally It was very difficult because I really love this area and North Carolina and see only great things in its future and maybe one lay I will again liccome a pan of Ibis." BY MARJORIE MEGIVERN A substitute bill from Uie Hou.se Finance Committee that pa.ssed iLs second reading Monday night in the full House gets Brunswick County off the hook in the low-level radioactive waste controversy. Rep. David Redwine said jubilant ly, “We came out smelling like a rose!” House Bill 35. coasidered earlier by the committee, would have required counties with nuclear plants to pay 25 percent of revenues derived from those plants to the county hasting a disposal site for low-level radioactive waste. Scuttled in committee, HB .35 was repUiced by a bill setting up an authority whose task would be to select a site in the state by Nov. 1. 1990. Also scuttled was the attempt to witlidraw North Carolina from the eight-state compact that cho.se the Tar Heel state as the first host to radioactive waste. “The authority has a timetable and criteria for choosing a site." Red wine explained. "This prompts us to begin the process and be ready for Barnwell closing in 1992.” Barnwell. S.C. lias been Uie disposal site for Uiis kind of waste, but Ls approaching capacity. With the su’Dsiiiute fur HB 35, the last threat appears to have been removed that Brunswick County could become the regional site. An earlier move by Rep. Joe Mavretic to focus on the three counties having nuclear plants as prospective hosts was also voted down. Southport Marina Another tangle for Redwine has been the request by the State Ports Authority for General Assembly ai>- proval of its sale of the Southport Marina to the City of Southport. “There’s a parliamentary problem with this," ho said, "and I have no vehicle to get it passed. The bill deadline has passed and it takes a two-third vote to consider a new bill at this stage." He said he hoped the State Ports Authority would withdraw its request and decide to sell the facility to Southport, now that its reason for seeking approval liiis been removed. •• They made a request for money that they wore afraid would be jeopardized by their having .sold this piece of property, but tlie request has been approved, so that’s not a pro blem any longer," Redwine explain ed. riie Authority wjuited to sell the marina to Southport for $500,000 over :i 15-year-period, at eight percent in- tere.st. •Since there’s 19 years left on its lease i to an indixidual in Southport), Southiiort can use the lease money as a purchase price," Redwine added. .Shag And Pork The legislator’s famous “shag” bill, making this popular dance the official state dance, won’t make it in to law in this session. Redwine .said the House has just not had time to deal with it. “People in the west weren’t keen on it. anyxvay. because of the clog," he said. A dozen organizations or agencies in Bnmswick County will be happy over their .share of Redwine’s “pork barrel" of $40,000. Aside from monies given to Pender and New Hanover counties, the remainder of that will l>c directed as follows; •$5,000 to Hope Harbor Home for abused women and children; • S4 non e.-wh tn Iho FniirH, nf l.,l„ and Oyster festivals and to the Old Baldy lighthouse renovation project; •$2,000 each to the Brunswick Literacy Council, West. South and North Brunswick high school booster clubs, the Ixiland Civic Center, and the Iceland Friends of the Idbrary; •$1,000 to Brunswick County’s Na tional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People (NAACP). Redwine expected adjournment of the General /Assembly by mid-week. (COX; Boat Trailers SHALLOTTE MARINE SUPPLIES MAIN ST., 754-6962 SERVING YOU NOW Aitheugh our sawmill was destroyed by fire... Corp.
