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.

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."

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.
The car slid off the roadway onto

Problem
According to county policy, the
complex's 205 full- and part-time
employees are supposed to park in
the large lot beside the Brunswick
County Sheriff's Department, Smith
said. 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."

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.
Trooper B.D. Barnhardt charged
Mellor with driving too fast for conditions.
iged By Fire
Firemen brought the fire under
control in about 15 minutes, and confined
it to the kitchen and living room
of the home. 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.
