Airport Authority Signs New Deal With Operators An 18-monih "mini-lease" agree ment has been reached between the Brunswick County Airport Com mission and the airport's fixed based operator. Resort Aviation, putting to rest a controversial lease dispute. Some authority members had wanted to cancel a 20-year contract with Resort Aviation, said board member Bob Miller of Long Beach, because some promised airplane hangars had not been built on time. The contract callcd for construc tion of 10 hangars at the Oak Island airport within six months of Jan. 1 , said Miller. When October arrived, work had not begun, he said. "There was no possibility of any hangars being built," said Miller. Commissioners agreed with Resort Aviation that a slowing economy was to blame for the con struction delay. The new 18-month lease elimi natcd the required hangars and will charge Resort S325 per month rent, the same as the original contract. Also, five cents of every gallon of fuel sold will be paid to the com mission, to increase to six cents next year. Two weeks ago, commissioners had indicated they did not want to renegotiate the contract, said Miller, one of two members who pushed for renegotiation. The new lease went into effect Oct. 1, said Miller. The two parties had also dis agreed on how space at the airport is to be used. Commissioners agreed that flight school classes will have to be moved to another location. While individual lessons will still be avail able at the airport, groups or classes of students will be moved to Brunswick Community College's Soulhport campus.

Coastline Rescue Squad Chosen To Serve Royal Oak I?Y TKRRY POPK Coastline Rcscuc will continue to serve the Royal Oak community near Supply when the county's 911 system begins next year. Residents there had petitioned Brunswick County Commissioners, asking to keep Coastline instead of Shallotte Volunteer Rcscuc Squad as its primary emergency responder when 91 1 begins. It has apparently become a battle over territorial rights between the two squads. Shallotte Rcscuc Chief Danni Moore said she didn't know there was a problem until the issue surfaced at a recent commissioners' meeting. "Everyone has had their say in this cxccpt for Shallotte,"' said Ms. Mix>re. She said Shallotte Rescue's aver age response time is 10.2 minutes while Coastline's is 17.1 minutes and that five Emergency Medical Technicians intermediates arc now working from the Shallotte station. Her volunteers believe persons in auto accidents, or in need of emer gency care in that area, will he pe nalized with the decision reached by Brunswick County Emergency Medical Services Director Doug Lcdgctl. "This is a system we're trying to build here," said Lcdgctt. "It's not a territory." Lcdgctt said he wants to leave the Royal Oak area in Coastline's hands unless 911 data later shows Shal lotte can get to cmerecncv calls there quicker. "We'll continue to monitor that program (911), and not just for the people of Royal Oak," said Ledgett, "to sec if there's a way to get ser vice to these people faster." Lack of personnel made Shallotte slop accepting non-cincrcencv calls for convalcsccni trips into the Royal Oak community, he said. Royal Oak residents told com missioners Monday that Shallotte Rescue had repeatedly told callers there they would no longer answer calls to that community, which is west of U.S. 17 at Supply. "That was the primary reason people stopped calling Shallotte," said Royal Oak resident Sybil Mitchell-Simmons. "We get into who's living and who's dying in our neighborhood. We appreciate the ef ficient, courteous service wc receive from Coastline Rescue." If Shallotte Rescue travels through the business section of Shallotte to reach Royal Oak, it would have a shorter trip than Coastline, said Ledgctt. But if it us es the Shallotte U.S. 17 bypass, the mileage is longer than Coastline's, he said. Coastline's building in on N.C. 130, Hoi tie n Beach Road. "We have no way to correlate any response lime to areas traveled," sawl Ledge u. "I have no way to say that's what it takes to gel lo Royal Oak." Ms. Moore said it has been proven that the mileage is less lor Shalloilc, "although it's not a great deal less." She said her department has te ccivcd negative publicity from the issue. When Shallotte has answered calls in the area, they would be ac cused of straying into Coastline's territory, she said. "We just don't want any more of the accusations we've had in the past," said Ms. Moore. When the enhanced 911 system begins, slated for next summer, a rescue unit will automatically be dispatched based on the location of the caller Southport Elementary Gets Outdoor Science Ed Proaram Southport Elementary School has been selected as one of 10 sch(x>ls statewide to receivc an outdoor sci ence education program, "Using the Outdoors to Teach Experiential Science" (UTOTES) is sponsored by the North Carolina Science and Madi Alliance, as well as the N.C.
