Hello, South Brunswick Islands l*Y HOLLY RICHARDS, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT South Brunswick Islands Chamber of Commerce Wilh one week under my belt as your new executive vicc president I can certainly say that Brunswick County is deliver ing everything as promised. In my initial interview with the Chamber Search Committee I said that I am "a mover and a shaker." 1 must have said the right tiling because you too arc "movers and shakers." Let me tell you that the pace of the South Brunswick Islands Chamber is not for the faint of heart! You arc making things happen! The dedication of everyone involved with the cham ber is phenomenal. 1 am overwhelmed by the out pouring of support and good will that I am receiving from this community. You really rolled out the red RICHARDS carpet for me, making this an exciting and welcome opportunity. We have several things on the horizon. I look forward to seeing you at the South Brunswick Islands King Classic on Labor Day weekend, August 30-Scptembcr I, and at the Oyster Festival on October 18-19. 1 met with both of these planning committees last week. I must commend the volunteers who arc doing an excellent job of coordinating these two major events in our community. I must also recognize the staff at the chamber for doing such a fine job during the interim period before my arrival and for the patience they have had with mc this first week. Good job ladies! I am looking forward to meeting each and every one of you. It is an exciting challenge that awaits mc as your executive vicc president. ! laving worked 'with the North Carolina Citizens for Business and Industry (NCCB1) and the North Carolina Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (NCACCE), fortunately I am able to bring valu able experience and contacts from all over the stale. I plan to use these and many more resources to promote the South Brunswick Islands. Some of you may be wondering if I'll miss my native Raleigh? Nah, just look at what I've found here and besides at this pacc, who's got time?

The Soulh Brunswick Islands Chamber of Commerce is making an unscheduled stop this week, courtesy of the N.C. Department of Transportation. The local chamber is one of two across the state invited to join DOT at The Great American Fly-In in Oshkosh, Wis., July 24-Aug 2. While the huge air show-travel ex position wasn't on the chamber's schedule of promotional events, the invitation was too good an opportuni ty to miss, said the chamber's Mary Barton. Attendance at last year's Fly In was estimated at 162,570. "Both Annette Odom and Terry Barbcc (current and incoming presi dents of the chamber respectively) thought it was a very nice offer," she said. Mrs. Barton and Margaret Means of the South Brunswick Board of Realtors/South Brunswick Islands Home Builders Association are staffing the North Carolina booth along with state employees, dis tributing chamber visitors' guides and other promotional material about the area along with materials about the state in general. The invitation came about, she said, apparently in recognition of the chamber's all-out "1-40 Blitz" in the spring, which took teams of Brunswick County chamber volun teers all the way to Asheville pro moting the new route to the North Carolina's southeastern shore. DOT was to fly the travel promo tion team to Oshkosh aboard a state-owned jet. The chamber is picking up lodging and meal ex penses for its two representatives. Markets Open On Upbeat Note; Prices Up From Last Year Flue-curcd tobacco sales began on an optimistic note July 17 on the South Carolina-Norlh Carolina Border Belt, which includes ware houses in Columbus County. First day sales "went pretty well," with prices up 8 ccnts to 10 cents from last year, said Tom McLamb, county executive director of the Agricultural Stabilization Conservation Service (ASCS). "All the farmers 1 have talked to are opti mistic about the sales." McLamb said markets are open ing earlier this year due to the warm winter and rain. Leaf quality is bet ter than last year also. He said 108 Brunswick County farmers will sell tobacco this year. LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY How would you like to have one of W^octm these? OCEAN ISLE SUPPLY CO.

Subdivision Street Name Must Change Developers of a small subdivi sion near Holden Beach must change the name proposed for a street off of Old Ferry Road. Mayo T. Cameron wanted to name the road, located in the Cam eron Winds subdivision, Cameron Street. But a Cameron Drive already ex ists in the Sea Aire subdivision, said Brunswick County Planning Direc tor John Harvey. Duplicate names would confuse the county's 911 mapping system, said Harvey. Plans for the subdivision itself were unanimously approved during a brief meeting of the Brunswick County Planning Board last Wednesday. The five-lot projcct was the only item on the agenda, except for status reports on the county sub division ordinance and 911 pro gram, which will become opera tional in 1992. The plat for Cameron Winds was originally filed wiih no means for a tum-around. It was resubmitted with a turn-around proposed as an easement over land that will remain part of one lot. Board members agreed to allow the variance. Jan K. Dale, registered land surveyor, served as agent for the project. Cameron said he would work with the planning department in choosing another name for the street. Before the 911 system becomes operational, each street must be named and all houses numbered to aid in emergency response. Dupli cate street names would confuse emergency personnel responding to a call. Harvey said his house numbering crews have completed work in the Calabash, Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach postal zones, outside of municipal limits. Timer Firm Breaks Ground Telechron Inc., a manufacturer of elcclric timers and motors, broke ground Monday for a SI. 3 million plant in Leland Industrial Park. The plant is expccted to create 30 new jobs at start-up and 70 at full production, according to Secretary Estell C. Lee of the N.C. Dept. of Economic and Community Develop ment. The new 40,000-square-foot plant will be located on a five-acre site in the park and is scheduled to come on line in late September. Telechron plans, by 1993, to dou ble the plant's size and bring the company's remaining operations here from its Ashland, Mass., base. The relocation and expansion should bring about 175 jobs to the region over the next 2 1/2 years. 'Telechron is our newest corpo rate citizen in Brunswick County and we arc thankful for the jobs and capital investment that this project will privdc," said Kelly Holden, chairman of the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners. Telechron expects the plan to pro duce about S6.5 million worth of timer-controlled motors for coffee makers and air conditioners each year. Telechron was founded in 1912 by Henry Warren, the inventor of the electric clock. It was later owned by General Electric and then Timex be fore being purchased by inside man agers in 1983. The N.C. Employment Security Commission is helping locate and scrccn potential plant workers, while Brunswick Community College will provide free skills training in how to operate the plant machinery at its Le land Industrial Park Training Center. Numbering in the Leland postal zone was to be completed by early this week. Workers there have iden tified 20 more streets than had been located on maps or aerial photos, Harvey said. The four temporary workers will begin numbering homes next in the Winnabow and Shallotte postal /ones. ?he parantt'B Sable The Strand's Award-Winning Restaurant ? 1991 recipient of the 5 Diamond Award as one of :he top 50 overall restaurants in the United States awarded by the Academy Awards of the Restaurant Industry ? 1990 and 1991 Silver Spoon recipient awarded by the Gourmet Diners Club of America ?Listed number one historic restaurant in SC ?Recommended by Golf Magazine. ?AAA and Mobile Travel Guide recommended. i EARLY BIRD 50% DISCOUNT SPECIAL Even.' night from 5:00 til 6: 15 PM 50"?
