More Rainfall Expected Here Above average rainfall bul seasonable temperatures are expected over the next few days in the Shallotte area, according to Shallotte Point meteorologist Jackson Canady. Canady said rainfall through the weekend should measure about an inch, which is about one-quarter of an inch above normal. Temperatures should range from around 70 at night to the upper 80s during the day. During the period of Aug. 16 through 22, the daily average temperature was 81 degrees, which Canady said was two degrees above normal. The daily average high temperature was 90 degrees, and the daily average low temperature was 73 degrees. The maximum high temperature during the period was 93 degrees, occurring on Aug. 18. The minimum low temperature was 70 degrees, occurring on Aug. 16 and 22. Canady measured 1.33 inches of rainfall during the seven-day period. Judge (Continued From Page 1-A) The developer filed a second withdrawal of the property shortly atter last November's trial, due to questions that were raised concerning the 1958 plat and whether or not the 1970 withdrawal was premature. Law requires a 15-year waiting period for withdrawal. However, Briggs' ruling states that both withdrawals "are void and without legal effect in that the property in question was not unused or adandoned for a period of 15 years or more..." The public used the lot for beach access through 1987, the judge said. Briggs also dismissed the comnont/'o r\C ? * i? -L punj J v.iauu \JI uwiiciaiup HU'UUgn adverse possession.

The projects include SAD 8 (Shady Forest, Landing Two and Landing Three), SAD 10 (Calabash Acres south of N.C. 179) and SAD 11 (Pine Bur Acres and Carlyle Acres). More than 100 property owners in the three SADs turned out for the three 30-minute public hearings Monday night in Bolivia. UOB members I Ed Gore. Ernest Mr-flee Alfnnya Roach and Robert Nubel were present, while Bill English, Morris Crouch, Jimmy Oldham and Frankie Rabon were absent. The UOB's unanimous decision to recommend the projects came during a 30-minute special meeting j following the public heatings. The | meeting included a 15-minute executive session requested by Planning Director John Harvey to discuss 1 "possible land interest acquisition." After the closed session, the board voted to recommend to commissioners that UOB Attorney Mike Ramos be authorized to make offers for severai water line easements in SAD 6, which is located in the Whispering Heights/Water Wonderland areas.

In addition, Briggs answered the defendant's claim that dedication of the street right-of-way was never officially accepted by noting that "the plaintiffs were purchasers of lots at Sunset Beach ... by reference to the 1958 plat, and they, therefore, accepted the offer of dedication of Sunset Boulevard to the ocean south of Main Street."

W & S Underground's $82,725.60 bid was almost $29,000 below the second lowest bid. Engineer Jay Houston also stated that the company's bid was considerably lower than an original $107,000 estimated project cost. All three UOB recommendations will be presented to commissioners at the county board's Sept. 6 meeting. During the public hearings Monday, property owners had mainly two questions: When will the water be available, and how much will it cost? Only two of the 26 speakers expressed outright opposition to the water projects. Both were residents of Pine Bur Acres. Board members and the UOB staff explained that the projects will take at least six months to complete before their final costs are known and assessments can be tallied. However, officials noted that the respective assessment rates in the county's first two SADs were $6.64 and $6.51 per foot of frontage. If the commissioners decide to proceed with the new projects, a second public hearing will be held for each district after the projects are completed and before assessments are finalized.

Hickman said mosquitoes can lay anywhere from 100 to 400 eggs at a time. The eggs hatch five to 10 days after they are exposed to warm water. If uncontrolled, two mosquitoes can turn into more than 2,000 in only a matter of weeks, he said. What they need to reproduce, besides water, is food. "Along the coast?our most populated area?there's nothing else for them to eat but people," Hickman said. "The more food that's available, the larger the mosquito population is."

In prosecuting the case, Carpenter argued that the cases introduced as evidence in court were a "representative sampling" of conduct over a period of several years. The defense claimed that the incidents were mistakes or the actions of office employees, an argument rejected by both the jury and again Monday by Judge Britt.

Hickman spotchecks all of the areas, and when they contain water, he treats them with Malathion to kill mosquito larvae. "If you miss one of them (spoil areas), you're going to populate a much larger area," he said, remembering a Friday afternoon earlier this month when his truck broke down before he could treat a spoil island near Holden Beach. By the following Monday, his office was swamped with complaints from Holden Beach area residents. Six mosquito control trucks began ntenced July 1986 by Carpenter's unit and the Office of Investigations of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in Greensboro. Approximately two dozen former patients were called as witnesses by the prosecution. Also testifying was former Paine employee Sharon Hewett, who pleaded guilty in February 1987 to mail fraud in a plea bargain agreement in which she agreed to testify against Paine. A date for her sentencing has not been set, Carpenter said Tuesday. Paine was represented by Raleigh attorney David Long, who could not be reached for comment Tuesday. ^ Soa*Jjjlj 4 Formerly OCEA KING MACK El $10 GUAR^ CASH FISHING Little Rive & Lockw Labor Daj Sept. 1, For more info South Brunswick I PO Box 3089/Sh or Holtlcn Beach Marina Chamber ol (919)842-5447 (919)7; I EL- ^ r < STArF PHOTO BY RAIIN ADAMS^ truck driver Charles Long, who ids On Rain cnnf-cnroTrmrr I? * !' bilC UUUIILJ 111 npill. The two fall-time and four part-time truck drivers began making regular rounds of the county in mid-June. Hickman said his department this year has sprayed 880 gallons of a 91-percent Malathion solution and 175 gallons of a 57-percent Malathion solution, at a total cost of about $19,825 for the chemical alone. He noted that residents can help his department out by getting rid of old tires or other objects that often hold stagnant water. Also, individuals should be sure to empty buckets and other containers where mosquitoes can breed. Landfill Schedule To Change Sept. 5 The Brunswick County Landfill and all solid waste transfer stations will return to regular operating hours next month. According to Landfill Director Leo Hewett, the facilities wiU be open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to4:30 p.m., beginning Monday, Sept. 5.
