Page 2-A?THE BRUNSWICK BEAC( Kamtsikli: -1 a ^ i m A I It? I A Pitt County man who was indicted in June 1987 by the state's first investigative grand jury pleaded guilty last week in Brunswick County Superior Court to cocaine trafficking charges. According to the Brunswick County Clerk of Court's office, Fotios Kamtsiklis, 28, of Greenville, entered guilty pleas to three counts of conspiracy to traffic in more than 400 grams of cocaine. An additional conspiracy charge and four counts of trafficking in more than 400 grams of cocaine were dismissed. Judge E. Lynn Johnson of Fayetteville continued Kamtsiklis' sentencing until the Nov. 28 term of Superior Court. Kamtsiklis was among 37 individuals indicted in Brunswick County last June and July as a result of work done by the investigative grand jury. All but one of that number have pleaded guilty. The defendant who remains to be tried, Francisco Navarro of Fort Defenc (Continued From Page 1-A) fines and suspended three-year prison terms, with five years of supervised probation. Also, Phelps and Lewis were ordered to perform 50 hours of community service; Robinson, 100 hours. Tony Lewis pleaded guilty last Thursday to conspiracy to possess more than one gram of cocaine. He was sentenced to a $250 fine, a suspended two-year prison term, with three years of supervised probation, and 50 hours of community service work. Judge Johnson found that all seven defendants had rendered substantial assistance to investigators?findings which allowed them to receive lesser fines and prison sentences than are required by state drug trafficking laws.

"There's no reason to have two supervisors for no more service than the public is receiving ... I said to take that money and hire two sanitarians that'll work out in the field." The commissioner added that members of the health uuafu?who he would not identify?had informally asked him to consider deleting the position. Health Board Chairman Bill Rabon told the Beacon he did not know which members might have contacted Chappell. However, the commissioners' no tion was reversed June 28 on a 4-1 vote, after Commissioners Frankie Rabon and Jim Poole said they had ;nied Social Security^ or have you been ?curity that you are a 8 class?

Chappell cast the only vote not to reverse the previous action. The June 28 vote followed a 1%-hour executive session the previous day, when commissioners talked with Rhodes, Crowder and McDonald. The secret meeting was called by Chappell to discuss "personnel," even though county officials J ?U-:r -nau cai net tituieatcu uidk MICH ttf tion to delete the position was simply a budget matter. When the county budget was approved last Wednesday, the supervisor's position was intact, as were the two new sanitarian positions. Rhodes said that after the new sanitarians are nirea ana eventually certified, the two supervisors gradually will give up their current field duties. "My understanding of the public image of the environmental health section is that they're the bad guys?that they're out there to turn you down," Rhodes said. "We're going to make every effort we can to change that image, and the only way we can change it is through information and education." IZ J ? = LPRUNDERSTANDING Millions of people wear corrective lenses. The great majority of them are prescribed to correct the four most common types of optical errors: nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia. Still, there persists a good deal of confusion and misunderstanding concerning these problems. To begin with, THESE ARE OPTICAL ERRORS NOT EYE DISEASES. Eyes that are nearsighted, farsighted, astigmatic, or presbyopic are not unhealthy, nor are they any more subject to eye disease than eyes without optical error. Since they are not diseased, ?.1980 THE BRUNSWICK BEACON ,VO N skijttg UDHBHESBi 1 1 ~^?a Von Drive Faulty brakes was ruled the cause of this Tuesday morning wreck on U .S. 17 in downtown Shallotte, which sent one man to The Brunswick Hospital in Supply with neck injuries.

The two cuts included $65,000 for five of 10 new vehicles that were initially recommended in the sheriff's department budget; and $8,000 for office equipment in the register of deeds office. Despite earlier board "decisions," the budget includes 2M>-percent cost-of-living raises and the possibility for five percent merit raises for county employees. Employees with dependant insurance coverage will pay slightly higher premiums due to an increase in insurance costs. However, the county will continue to pay individual employees' full disability premiums. Major sources of revenue in the adopted $27.3 million budget will be more than $19 million in property taxes, based on Brunswick County's property valuation of $3.8 billion and a 95.2 percent collection rate; and an estimated $4.6 million in sales taxes. Also, $3.1 million from the county's capital reserve contingency fund was used to balance the budget. No allocations were made fr.om the county's unappropriated fund balance, which is estimated at $3.2 million. By department, budget allocations are as follows: Governing Body, $100,142.
