Page 8-A?THE BRUNSWICK BKA< County AAc To CompU BY RAHN ADAMS Brunswick County Manager John T. Smith has a plan to reduce illegal parking at the county government complex in Bolivia?a problem partially caused by county employees. Smith last week said he will begin enforcing a county policy at the complex later this month by assigning each county employee a specific parking space. According to Smith, parking areas outside the Mental Health/Social Ser vices building and the county courthouse are of the most concern. "Just about any morning you come in, there will be cars parked everywhere," said Smith. "If the employees get here first and take the choice spots, there's no place for the public to park." As a result, motorists ignore "no parking" signs and routinely park along the roadways near bath buildings, often blocking other vehicles that are legally parked. Icy Road C Icy road conditions were said to be the cause of a two-vehicle collision last Thursday that resulted in injury to a Supply man. According to N.C. Highway Patroi spokesperson Ruby Oakley, the mishap occurred last Thursday at 2 p.m. on U.S. 17, 2.5 miles south of n -tt--! - ounvia. Daniel I,enix Carlvle, 58, of Supply, was injured when his 1977 Dodge was struck by a 198(3 Chevrolet tractortrailer driven by Wiliie Harding Tyndall Jr., 34, of Wilmington. Ms. Oakley said Tyndall was traveling north on U.S. 17 and attempted to stop for a car that was turning off the roadway ahead of him. Tyndall was unable to stop the tractor-trailer due to icy road conditions. The rig traveled past the stopped car and struck Carlyle's on-coming auto, knocking the Dodge into the ditch where it struck the embankment and overturned. Carlyle was taken to The Hrunswick Hospital in Supply for treatment. Tyndall was not injured. Damages were estimated at $500 to the tractor-trailer and $2,000 to Carlyle's car. Ms. Oakley said Trooper T.W. Cauldcr filed no charges in the accident.

January 14. 1988 imager Eyes 3x's Parking The county manager said he counted 55 illegally parked vehicles when he toured the complex grounds one morning last month. A check two hours later found that seven of the same vehicles were still illegally parked. "We might as well take the 'no parking' signs down," he said, noting that the judges' parking spaces near the courthouse are the only ones that are patrolled regularly. Also, he said the county has no policy to ticket or tow illegally parked vehicles at the complex. The problem was brought to Smith's attention in early !">ecembe-r when Veteran Services Officer Jess Parker was unable to deliver insulin to a veteran in Bolivia because Parker's car was blocked by an illegally parked vehicle Parker had to call someone else to deliver the medication to the diabetic man. "Fortunately everything turned out all right." Parker said, "but it could have been a trauic situation." Conditions Cat. in another wreck blamed on icy roads. The accident liappened Friday at 8:30 a.m. on U.S. 17, 6.4 miles north of Bolivia. Ms. Oakiey said a 1981 Datsun driven by Garrett Wayne Mellor. 39. of Bolivia, was traveling north on U.S. 17 too fast for conditions and went out of control on an ice-covered bridge.

However, the policy was never enforced. I-ater this month, parking spaces in the lots at the sheriff's department and planning building will be numbered and assigned to employees. "We're going to put everybody's names in the pot that needs parking spaces, then just start pulling names," said Smith, adding that employees would be allowed to trade spaces, if necessary. "Then I'll administer it?I'm not going to put it on the sheriff's department or anyone else," Smith said. Parking violations will be "written up and put in (the employee's) personnel folder, and after three times (violations) we'll let them find somewhere else to work." jse Wrecks of a guardrail. Mellor and his passenger, Helen Mellor, 28, also of Bolivia, complained of injuries and were taken to New Hanover Memorial Hospital in Wilmington for treatment, Ms. Oakley said. | Damage to the car was estimated at $2,500.

The blaze started in the kitchen area, said Inman. In addition to fire damage to the two rooms, the rest of the house sustained smoke damage. Inman said firemen remained on the scene for about hours to make sure some smoldering attic insulation did not rekindle. The cause of the blaze had not been determined Monday and was still under investigation, although Inman said the fire appeared to have been accidental. "Z ALL STARl lit?
