An extension granted by the U.S. I Department of Labor last week will njjnui Brunswick Couiity's 17~ys2r~ ' old school bus drivers to continue J driving for the remainder of the < school year. Currently there are 14 I such drivers, most of whom '< iransport high school students. i Under the terms of the extension, i Brunswick will be able to use only 1 17-year-old drivers who will turn 18 by June 15. Brunswick is nut nnc nf the 49 ( systems in the state that have I demonstrated problems in hiring i adult drivers and which will be allow- 1 ed to employ 17-year-old drivers who I won't turn 18 by that deadline. I With the recent hiring of two more 1 adult drivers, Brunswick County now has employed only 14 drivers who are 1 age 17, according to Bill Turner, I special assistant to the superinten- ' dent. Four of those will turn age 18 before June 15. . ' "I think we would have had to do a couple of double runs," said Turner, i "But I really think we could have 1 found enough adults if we had decided to bite the bullet and say 'This is what we're going to do.' " "It would have been close, but we could have done it."

Earlier this month, the states were notified that the exemption would end April 1 because of violations of its terms?primarily the use of drivers who had moving violations. During January and February, North Carolina, for instance, was found to have violated the agreement 80 times. One condition of iast week's extension is that the state remove all 17-year-olds who have tickets for moving violations or at-fault accidents on their driving records, or who have not passed a physical examination within the last year. If the extension had not been granted, legislation that would override the Feb. 25 Labor Department decision was ready to go to the U.S. Senate, following passage by the U.S. House earlier this month. To attract more adult drivers statewide, Gov. Jim Martin has announced that he will seek a $24 million budget amendment during the June session of the General Assembly to increase the pay rate for school bus drivers. < SafU SEAFOOD & DELI SUBS ?

The proposed subdivision was one af two approved at the planning board's 30-minute monthly meeting last Wednesday night in Bolivia. Board members Thomas Dixie, Man Holden, Shelton Stanley, Michael Schaub and Chris Chappell were present. Chairman Ed Gore and John Barbee were absent. At its Feb. 24 meeting, the planning board delayed consideration of a preliminary plat proposal for Wildwood Village, located in snauone Town snip near me site ot the U.S. 17 Shallotte bypass. Owners of the two tracts of property in question were listed as Grady Hardwick and Melvin Kirk Nobles of North Myrtle Beach, S.C., and John H. Mintz and Gloria M. Mintz of Shallotte. The applicants proposed to create 121 lots with an average size of 80 feet by 150 feet. The Mintz tract contained a BRUNSVU Senior G March 26, Football Softball Basketb Billiard?; ?7-.?"? senior citizens | School to parti? i jcmur \ A JS* Shufflebc /^ScnioTX / 9,iien V C uamcs I wrtBHiOi" VS/ our9? ners m ?i ard Approve 53.5 lots, while the other tract contained 67.5 lots. According to Planning Director John Harvey, the proposal was remanded last month because questions were unanswered concerning the subdivision's ownership; the apparent existanee of a separatelyowned parcel within the subdivision; and the subdivision's design in relation to the Shallotte bypass. No representatives of the developers were present at last month's meeting. Surveyor Jan Dale was on hand last Wednesday as their official agent. Dale cleared up two of the board's questions, explaining that a separate parcel owned by the U.S. Government was "out of the way" and did not affect the subdivision, and that a temporary permit was being obtained from the Department of Transportation to allow work on the subdivision to begin. However, the question concerning ownership remained, since Harvey had received information that the Mintz tract will be sold to Hardwick and Nobles.

"We can approve it, or we can let it ride until they get it straightened out," said Stanley. But on a motion by Schaub, board members unanimously approved the plat proposal on the condition that it be returned to the planning board for another review if the sale is not made. Other stipulations on the board's approval included the identification of private roads on the plat, with utility and drainage easements shown; creation of another access point between the subdivision's 1.4 mile dead-end street and one of two ucai ut auitc iudiu; una construction of adequate storm drainage. The other proposed subdivision that was unanimously approved at last Wednesday's meeting was Spring Branch at i/ockwood, owned by Channel Side Corporation. The property is located along the southern boundary of the Lockwood Folly development near the marsh and golf links.
