Marriage Lisense Costs Soar As
Part Of New Deeds Laws
The cost of getting married has
doubled these da>s.
Marriage licenses have increased
from $20 to $40 at the Brunswick
County Register Of Deeds office.
The statewide increase was man
dated by the 1991 N.C. General
Assembly, which also adopted sev
eral other changes for the deeds' of
fice effective Oct. 1. But the extra
income from marriage license fees
will go to the suite instead of the
county or local deeds office.
Ol the $40 fee. S25 will he for
warded to the county finance offi
cer. who is responsible for sending
it to the N.C. Department of Viol
ence and State Registrar, according
to Brunswick County Registrar of
Deeds Robert J. Robinson. The
funds w ill be used to help programs
for victims of domestic violence.
such as Hope Harbor Home in
Brunswick County.
Other changes >uul new legislation
enacted during the 1991 session of
the General Assembly affecting the
deeds office and local residents were:
?Real Estate Excise Taxes for
transfers of an interest on real prop
erty has doubled. The new rate is
now S2 per SI. (XX) and SI per S5(V)
of the consideration paid for the
property. Half of the net proceeds
are forwarded to the N.C. De
partment of Revenue for use by the
state.
?Application fees to the Secretary
of State's office for a notary pub
lic's commission has been increased
to S25. A person appointed as no
tary must appear before the register
of deeds to take an oath within 90
days of the appointment, or the reg
istar is required to return the com
mission to the state.
The notary's stamp or seal is to
contain the exact name as it appears
on the commission. A change in his
or her name requires a new stamp or
seal.
?Significant changes in the map
law went into effect Oct. 1 , affect
ing the required size of maps anil
plats recorded with the county and
the material they arc recorded on.
Maps or plats must be either one of
three sizes, and counties can also
specify that they will accept only
one size.
The new map law also requires
surveyors to list on the plat whether
the subdivision is covered by a sub
division ordinance, if it's of an ex
isting parcel or parcels, a recombi
nation of parcels or a court-ordered
survey, or if the land is in an unreg
ulated area.
Diabetes Education Classes Under Way
Diabetes education classes were
to begin at the Brunswick Hospital
Wednesday, Oct. 16.
The classes will run from 6 p.m.
to X p.m. for four to six weeks,
meeting in the conference room.
The purpose of the program is to
educate diabetics not only about
proper nutrition, exercise, eye care,
and foot care, but also about how to
.ope with stress and complications
Teachers' Group
Notes Anniversary
Brunswick County's Beta Beta
Chapter of Alpha Delia Kappa, an
international honorary sorority of
women educators, celebrates its
44th anniversary during October.
The 41 -member group promotes
high standards in education and rec
ognizes outstanding female educa
tors who arc actively engaged in
teaching, administration, or some
specialized leaching field. Its mem
bers come from seven of the coun

This local chapter is one of 101
active in North Carolina, with mem

state branch of the sorority gives
scholarships and promotes service
projects.
To become a member, an educa
tor must be nominated by other
teachers and invited to join by the
organization. ADK meets monthly.
Clarification
A Brunswick County magistrate
found no probable cause existed
against a Shallotte man who had
been charged with driving while im
paired.
Harold Elias Hickman, 65, was
charged by State Trooper B.D.
Bamhardt following an accident
near Ash on Oct. 5. The information
was provided to The Brunswick
Beacon by a Stale Highway Patrol
spokesperson.
According to documents on file
at the Brunswick County Clerk of
Court's office, Hickman paid a fine

but had a DWI charge dismissed by
the magistrate, who found no basis
for the charge.

Diabetics who attend the class
will be invited to join a volunteer

time in January.
According to Earl Tamar, hospital
chief executive officer, the course is
a service that has been needed in
this area for a long time.

Brunswick Site Produced Most
Low- Level Radioactive Waste
OWL's Brunswick Nuclear Plant
near Southpori was the state's
largest generator of low-level ra
dioactive waste shipped to commer
cial landfills in 1990, according to a
recent re|x>rt compiled by the state
Division of Radiation Protection.
The 15-page report indicates the
total volume of waste shipped by
each generator and the level of ra
dioactivity emitted by the waste.
Generators arc identified by catego
ry: utilities, universities, govern
ment, industrial and medical.
Utilities, specifically three nucle
ar power plants ? Brunswick,
CP&L's Shcaron Harris Plant at
New Hill and Duke's McGuire sta
tion at Cornelius ? account for a
majority of activity, accounting for
more than half the volume of low
level radioactive waste shipped to
out-of-state landfills, 29,257.2 cubic
feet of the total 49,215 cubic feet.
The plants also accounted for 76
percent of of the total curies emitted
by the waste shipped in 1990,
2,302.(?45 curies of the total
3.025.120 curies. A curie is a mea
sure of radioactivity.
The Brunswick plant shipped
17,245 cubic feet of waste to a land
fill at Barnwell, S.C., almost twice
the volume shipped by the next
highest generator. That waste emit
ted 1 ,260.045 curies.
CP&L's Shcaron Harris plant
shipped 2,734 cubic feet of waste,
also to Barnwell, that emitted
980.130 curies. Duke Power's
McGuire plant shipped 9,277.5 cu
bic feet to Barnwell that emitted
980.130 curies.
The Brunswick plant has two
units, which CP&L spokesman
Kyle Hampton said is almost like
having two plants in terms of the
volume of waste produced. That in
part accounts for the higher ship
ping level from the site.
Also, during I WO both Bruns
wick units underwent major outages
for partial replacement of circula
tion piping, the piping that carrics
radioactive water into and out of the
reactor vessel. Hampton said labor
and handling associated with the
work generated more waste becausc
those involved hail to wear protec
tive clothing that was discarded. He
wasn't certain whether or not the
piping removed also was consid
ered low-level radioactive waste.
In contrast there was little outage
activity during 1990 ai the Shcaron
Harris plant.
Low-level radioactive waste in
cludes all waste that is not classified
as high-level waste, under state and
federal regulations. High-level
wastes arc spent fuel rods removed
from nuclear power plants.
While nearly half of the state's
low-level radioactive waste genera
tors were located in the Triangle
area, those generators produced less
than 30 percent of the total waste
volume, the report indicated.
The study was conducted in
February in conjunction with the
Southeast Compact Commission.
Because the survey included only
those generators who shipped low
level radioactive waste to a com
mercial disposal -facility in 1990,
not all generators' waste manage
ment practices arc included.
For the years 1991 through 1996,
utilities arc expected to continue
contributing the greatest percentage
of activity in low-level radioactive
waste. After a slight decline for
1991-92, activity is projected to re
main relatively stable for the years
1992 through 1996. Slight varia
tions from year to year should come
primarily from utilities, reflecting
planned outages and scope of work
scheduled by those generators.
North Carolina has been selected
to build a low-level radioactive
waste disposal facility that would be
expected to accept waste from the
eight member slates of the
Southeast Compact Commission. It
is presendy expected to open in ear
ly 1996. Selection has been nar
rowed to two sites, one along the
Chatham-Wake county line and the
other in Richmond County.
