Wall captured the primary with 13,350 votes to Wayne Long's 9,120. Long carried only his home county of Brunswick, with 4,149 votes to Wall's 2,557 votes. In the District 2 Commissioners Democrat ic primary, Joe Stevenson emerged with 2,879 ballots, or 42 percent of the vote based on unofficial tallies Tuesday, avoiding a pos sible second primary with Alfonza Roach, who finished sccond in the three-man field. On his third lime out as a candidate for coun tywide office, the win gives Stevenson his second opportunity in the general clcction. Along with hard work, a well-organized cam paign and dedicated workers, Stevenson cred ited his win in part to a new rule that allows a primary candidate to win wiUi 4U percent of the vote rather than 50 percent. "Without it there would have been a run-off," he said. In the Republican District 2 commission er's primary, Shallotte Mayor Jerry Jones squeaked to victory with 1,262 votes to Eu gene Hcwctt's 1,097 votes. The 40 percent rule that helped Stevenson also clcared the way for primary wins for two other Democratic candidates: incumbent Dis trict 5 Commissioner Grace Beasley of Le land, who captured 46.4 percent of the vote in her three-person race: and District 2 Board of Education candidate Polly Russ of Shallotte. She led with 45.3 percent of the vote in her race with Joe Carter and incumbent school board Chairman Dorothy Worth. Russ pulled in 3,100 votes and Carter 2,818. Worth trailed well behind with 915 votes. In the Republican primary, James Brown of Southport said he surprised himself with his handy win of the sheriff's nomination with 1,203 votes. Brown captured 19 of 22 precincts in a crowded five-man field. His nearest challenger, David Gause of Shallotte, garnered 588 votes. Brown will face incum bent Sheriff John C. Davis in November. Davis won his primary 5,649 votes to Jim Vaughan's 1,432. "I worked for every one of them (votes) and for some 1 didn't get," said Brown after the results were in. He credited his strong showing with a campaign in which he said, "I presented myself well and let the people know what 1 stood for. I didn't try to make myself into something I wasn't. I'm more of a doer than a talker." Other Results fncompete With 94 percent of all precincts statewide reporting at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, Southport resident Michael Easiey was positioned to possibly call for a second primary with top vote-getter Harvey Gantt of Charlotte. With 38 percent of the vote, Gantt ap peared just short of the 40 percent needed to ensure the Democratic nomination in the U.S. Senate race. Easiey had captured 30 percent of the vote, followed by John Ingram with 17 percent and "Bo" Thomas with 12 percent. Statewide results were not available for the GOP U.S. Senate primary. However, in Brunswick County Jesse Heims captured 2,037 votes, while L.C. Nixon and George Wimbish received 273 and 212 votes respec tively. In the 7th Congressional District GOP pri mary, Brunswick County returns showed Robert Anderson of Fayetteville leading, 1 ,378 to 832 votes for Fries Shaffner. Results from other counties in the district were not available. . . .

Uirich said he works more than 40 hours a week and that the job has been "much more absorbing than I anticipated when I came here." "I have a large number of person al things that have gone undone and the prospects of getung around to them appear dim as long as I 'm em ployed here," he said. Uirich, who was town manager of Gamer for 17 years, started working as town administrator of Holden Beach Jan. 9, 1989. He was earning an annual salary of S32.500. Uirich became the first town manager of Holden Beach in May 1989 when voters of the island community overwhelmingly passed a referendum changing the town's form of government from a mayor / council format to council/manager format. Town managers have more authority than administrators and can hire and fire town employees. Uirich said he doesn't have an other job lined up, but added that he and his wife would like to remain at Holden Beach, where they own a home. Uirich said he likes the com munity, but finds it difficult to enjoy the surroundings and work as town manager at the same time. Normal Weather Is Expected Residents of the South Bruns wick Islands should see normal temperatures and rainfall over the next few days, following a week in which the average temperature was slightly above normal, according to Shallotte Point meteorologist Jack son Canady. The average daily temperature during the period May 1-7 was 71 degrees, which Canady said is 2 de grees above normal. The daily aver age high was 81 degrees, and the daily average low was 61 degrees. The maximum high temperature during the period was 87 degrees May 2, and the minimum low tem perature was 49 degrees May 7, Canady said. The meteorologist said he mea sured 99 inches of rainfall at his weather station during the period. Canady said the ouilook for the next lew days is for temperatures and rainfall to be near normal. Temperatures should range from 60 degrees at night to 80 degrees dur ing the day, and one-half inch of rainfall is expected. Ocean Isle Adopts New Permit Fees For Commercial Buildings BY SUSAN USHKR A new commercial building per mit raie adopted by Ocean Isle Beach Commissioners Tuesday uses a sliding-scale fee that takes into ac count "economies of scale." The fee schedule, which was rec ommended by the town's Planning and Zoning Board, was adopted unanimously with minimal discus sion at the board's regular meeting Tuesday morning. All commission ers were present except Debbie Fox. The new commercial fee scale completes the revamping of the town's building permit schedule. In April, commissioners approved a schedule of fees for use in the town's new extraterritorial zone, on ly to learn that the rates must be identical within the new zoning area and the town. At a May 1 meeting, commissioners adopted a new schedule for all residential housing, based on the type of development and construction cost, and asked the Planning Board to come back with recommendations for commercial construction permit fees. Under the schedule approved Tuesday, the fee for a 10,000 square-foot commercial building permit is now 52,240, based on multiplying the estimated construc tion cost by eight-tenths of a cent. The construction cost for the first 1 ,000 square feet would be calculat ed at $45 per square foot; the sec ond 1,000 square feet at S35 per square foot; and additional area at $25 per square foot 'The Planning Board fell this would be fair to all concerned," said Bill Bullington, chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board. Bullington also had an answer for concerns raised at earlier meetings regarding the town's rates being higher than those charged by Bruns wick County. "We provide better service than the county and county fees are subsidized by your taxes," he said. Building Inspector Druicd Robcr son said the schedule recognizes "economies of scale" that comc into play with larger structures and also eliminates a possible loophole in which someone could construct a building as an office, then after its completion, pay a S25 transfer fee and change its use to single-family residential. Maps Are Available Mayor Betty Williamson indicat ed property owners have approxi mately 60 days in which to question or appeal new flood insurance rate maps completed as part of a study by the National Flood Insurance Program and slated for considera tion by the board following public hearings later this year. The maps take into account such factors as dune erosion, storm surge and other flood elevation factors and arc used for flood insurance and floodplain management purposes. Insurance agents use the map zones and base flood elevations in con junction with information on struc tures and their contents to assign premium rates for flood insurance policies. Roberson said he doesn't think the changes in base flood elevations indicated on the map will have much noticeable effect on the is land, where zoning ordinances al ready require that the finished floor of a structure be located eight feet off the ground. However, with the new elevations, homes built at that height may no longer qualify for a flood insurance premium discount The building permit fee for a 10,000 square-foot commercial structure at Ocean Isle Beach is now $2,240. available for existing structures in some zones. Dredging Completed Dredging of five natural canals ? those between Concord and Laur inburg streets and the commercial canal behind Sheffield's Marina ? has been completed at a final cost of S3 12,000. The resulting cost per foot is SI 5.34, said Town Clerk Emma Ross, or S767 per 50-foot lot, which is slightly higher than originally es timated. At S650 per standard lot, the town collected SI 70,000 in pre payments before the project began. Those property owners who paid up-front will now owe another SI 17 per 50-foot lot. Commissioners set a public hear ing on the preliminary assessment roll for 8:30 a.m. June 12, preceding their next regular meeting. Town Has Choice Building Inspector Druied Rober son advised commissioners that the town has a choice in its approach to solid-waste management under Sen ate Bill 111. He said it can opt to hire its sanitation contractor. Cham bers Inc., to handle recycling, as of fered; or that it can work with Brunswick County in its planning to reduce the flow of solid waste into the county landfill. "The county is looking into the possibility of hauling all solid waste to the landfill and separating (recy clablcs) there," he said. "...If we work with the county and the coun ty commissioners, enforcing S.B. Ill won't be as onerous as it seems at first blush." The alternative, he said, would be trying to educate approximately 200,000 people each summer to fol low a town recycling system. "We've got 20,000 people coming each week from 20,000 different places and 20,000 different recy cling programs and they're on vaca tion," he said. 'The simpler the sys tem we can have, the better." To Request Legislation Ocean Isle Beach will ask Rep. David Rcdwine to include the town in several pieces of proposed local legislation brought to commission ers' attention by Town Attorney Elva Jess, including one requested by the town of Holden Beach re garding canal maintenance. The proposed bill would establish lax districts, with governing boards that wouiu make recommendations to the town regarding tax levies for maintenance of canals. Commis sioner Terry Barbcc indicated two districts ? one for natural canals and one for concrete canals ? would be needed at Ocean Isle Beach because of the difference in upkeep costs. The town also wants to be includ ed in another request from Holden Beach. Rcdwine is expected to seek amendment of a bill that now al lows towns to regulate surfing to in elude regulation ol Jet skis. However, Ocean Isle Beach com missioners chose not to join with Caswell Beach, the Village of Bald Head and portions of Brunswick County in seeking designation as a sea turtle sanctuary, which would allow charges to be filed against in dividuals who harm loggerhead tur tles or their nests. "We'd better not get involved with the turtles," said Odell Wil liamson, water and sewer commis sioner. Other Business In other business, commissioners: ?Met behind closed doors for 18 minutes in an executive session called to discuss a "personnel" mat ter. Afterward, Mayor Betty Wil liamson said no action was taken, but that the board had given its at torney further instructions regarding a request for inclusion in legislation to be introduced by Rcdwine during the General Assembly's short sum mer session. ?Voted to pay S6(X) dues foi membership in the Cape Feai Council of Governments, up from S500 the past four years. ?Heard from Mayor Williamson that bids for sidewalk construction were to be opened at 9 a.m. today (Thursday) at the town hall. ?Authorized the mayor to con tact Brunswick Electric Member ship Corp. and Vision Cable regard ing scheduling of the town's under ground wiring project to begin this fall. The project was to have begur last fall, but was interrupted b) Hurricane Hugo. ?Obtained permission froir property owner Odell Williamson lo erect a "no parking" sign at a beach access adjacent to The Breakers. Mayor Betty Williamson said park ed cars have been hindering access to the strand for trash can emptying by the town's sanitation contractor. Chambers Inc. ?Learned that Sewer Supervisor Greg Norris has resigned, effective May 31, and advertising has begun for a replacement. ?Heard from Roberson that con struction activity is "still going strong," with 29 permits issued dur ing April and S5.050 in fees collect ed for construction valued at S44 1,300. ?Received the April police activ ity report from Chief Curt Pritchard, which included reports of two sea turtles that had washed ashore. One was entangled in a net.
