THE DRIVER WAS INJURED and damages were estimated at $5,000 when this E & R Development
Inc. truck overturned at the Holden Beach intersection last Wednesday.
Truck Driver Charged
In Supply Wreck Monday
Several vacationers from the
Raleigh area were injured Monday
afternoon in a two-vehicle accident
at the intersection of U.S. 17 and
Ml. Pisgah Church Road at Supply
that backed up traffic for more than
an hour.
Trooper Barney Wilkes of the
N.C. Highway Patrol said Tuesday
that a tractor-truck was south bound
on U.S. 17 when traffic ahead of it
slowed for a vehicle making a turn.
When the truck driver braked, he
lost control of the truck which skid
ded inlo the northbound lane. An
oncoming van struck the driver's
side of the truck.
The driver of the truck has been
charged with driving left of center.
Names of those involved in the
accident were not available
Tuesday.
Coastline, Shallottc and Town
Creek Volunteer Rescue Squads rc
sponded to the scene, along with a
local volunteer fire department.
Wilkes said there were multiple
personal injuries, with several of the
van's occupants ? vacationers from
the Raleigh area ? transported to
The Brunswick Hospital with seri
ous injuries.
Wilkes said he and other troopers
have been responding to a large
number of accidents over the past
few days, many of which may have
been related to weather conditions.
"A lot of them happened during
the rain," he said. "People just
won't slow down."
Also, a two-axle truck overturned
last Wednesday its it attempted a
right turn onto the Holdcn Beach
Causeway, injuring the driver, N.C.
Highway Patrol spokesman Ruby
Oakley said Tuesday.
James Harvey Hcwcil, 18, of
Shallottc, was castbound in the
1968 Chevrolet owned by F & R
Development Inc. of Supply. He
was taken by ambulance to The
Brunswick Hospital, where he was
treated for class B injuries, which
arc serious but not incapacitating.
The incident happened at 1:15
p.m. eight-tenths of a mile west of
Coastal Resources Panel Keeps Sea Wall Ban
BY DOU(J R UTTER
North Carolina's ban on sea
walls, jetties and groins is alive and
well for ihc time being.
The N.C. Coastal Resources
Commission made no changes to the
six-year-old rule prohibiting ero
sion-control structures that "harden"
the beach when it met last week in
Beaufort.
However, commissioners did
agree to consider a proposal that
would simplify the process of ask
ing for an exception to the rule, said
Jcannette Johnson, spokesperson
with the N.C. Division of Coastal
Management.
Commissioner Dan Bcssc's pro
posal would allow those seeking a
variance to skip an administrative
hearing before state officials and pre
sent their case directly to the CRC.
The coastal panel didn't vote on
the proposal last week. It will likely
be discussed when the CRC meets
in Wilmington in September, Ms.
Johnson said.
The commission banned bulk
heads and other structures that
"harden" the beach in 1985, reason
ing that such devices may control

erosion in one place but tend to shift
the problem elsewhere and limit ac
ccss to the beach.
In recent months, however, some
of the panel's members have said
the rule is too strict and there should
be a procedure to allo^ exceptions.
Several CRC members initiated a
proposal in March that would allow
sea walls, jetties and groins on the
bcach if they would not "cause sig
nificant adverse impact" or if they
would "provide overriding public
benefit."
At their meeting last week, com
missioners heard from two coastal
geologists and two coastal engi
neers. They urged the panel to pro
ceed with caution in considering
any changes to the beach-hardening
ban.
Ms. Johnson said Coastal Man
agement staff will present inlorma
lion on the near-shore and offshore
disposal of dredged sand as an ero
sion-conirol measure when the
commission meets in September.
Other Business
Following a public hearing last
week, the commission voted to in
crease the fee for minor CAMA
permits from S25 to S50, Ms. John
son said.
Local governments that administer
minor permits receive the fees.
Minor permits arc needed for all de
velopment in areas of environmental
concern that is not considered major.
Projects that are larger than 20
acres or have a structure that covers
more than 60,(XX) square feet or that
require another state or federal per
mit must receive a major permit
from the Division of Coastal Man
agement.

Ms. Johnson said the coastal pan
el took no action on two other pro
posals that went to public hearing
last Thursday.
One of the rules would make
coastal property owners promise to
remove or demolish their homes if
they become threatened by erosion.
About 25 people spoke in favor
of the idea at the hearing, Ms.
Johnson said, and the commission
received more than 1 30 letters sup
porting the plan.
The CRC didn't vote on a pro
posal to allow maintenance dredg
ing in shellfish beds, coastal wet
lands and submerged vegetation.
Ms. Johnson said CRC members
decided to see how a recent rule
change that allows maintenance
dredging in primary nursery areas
works before they include other ar
eas.
N.C. 130 at its intersection with
Sabbath Home Road (S.R. 1 120).
Trooper D.B. Harvell, the investi
gating officer, said the truck had a
broken wheel cylinder. No charges
were filed.
Damage to the vehicle was esti
mated at approximately S5.000.
Calabash Renames Roadways
At least a dozen streets in Cala
bash have been renamed to avoid fu
ture confusion for emergency scrvicc
personnel responding to 91 1 calls.
In order for the 911 system to be
activated, every street with three or
more homes must have a name, said
Lee Hitchcock of the Brunswick
County Planning Department.
"The county docs not have juris
diction within the city limits, but we
have worked with the Calabash
Planning Board and the Property
Owners Association of Carolina
Shores in renaming the streets,"
said Hitchcock.
Identical street names and names
with the same first word have been
changed, he said, so that in the
event of an emergency, rescue
members can get there as quickly as
possible.
Some streets that have been re
named include River, McLamb and
Carter Road and any streets begin
ning with Calabash.
All Calabash streets have been
renamed as necessary, he said.
