Squad's decision to discontinue
daytime sendee next month due to a
manpower shortage came as no surprise
last week to the state official
who is completing a study on
Brunswick County's emergency
medical services needs.
Tim Kiehl, regional supervisor for
the N.C. Office of Emergency
Medical Sendees, said Friday that

here.
He said one solution to volunteer
shortages would be for the county to
employ daytime personnel. Also, he
said his study will recommend that
Brunswick eventually implement
some type of advanced life support
program, due to the county's rapid
growth and the influx of older
residents.

Kiehl said Town Creek VHS is the
local first squad to suspend daytime
service. However, other rescue
squads across the state have been
forced to take similar measures due
to volunteer shortages, he said.
Town Creek VRS Chief Lee
Shepherd said last Wednesday that
his squad will discontinue responding
to calls from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday
through Friday, beginning June G.
Shepherd said the squad has 12 certified
emergency personnel.
However, only Shepherd and his
wife, Connie, will be available to
answer daytime calls after school
ends next month. A third current
daytime volunteer must stay home
this summer to take care of children,
the chief explained.
"There's a limit to what we can
do," he said. "We may not have a
(daytime) call for a month, but we
still have to be here to cover the
phones."
Shepherd said the squad hopes to
resume daytime service in
September when school is back in

the Green Swamp area. Shepherd
said.
According to Brenda Freeman of
the Brunswick County Emergency
Management office. Town Creek
residents needing daytime
assistance beginning June 6 should
call the nearest rescue squad outside
the Town Creek district, which is
bordered by the I.eland. Boiling Spring

"It's just putting an extra burden
on those who are already burdened."

another suspect took a "small

register. After forcing the employees
and customers into a bathroom, the
two fled out the front door to a car
driven by the third suspect.
An elderly couple parked outside
the restaurant saw the suspects leave
and were able to give lawmen a
description of the getaway car and its
direction of travel, Walton said.
About 15 minutes after the robbery,
a sheriff's deputy stopped the
suspects' car on U.S. 74-76 near
I-eland. Jones and Hastie were taken
into custody without incident, while
landis escaped on foot. The shotgun
and stolen money were recovered in
the car.
