Steve Smith, a young busi nessman who owned Photographic Concepts of Shallotte was killed in stantly. Misty Cartmchacl. a junior at West Brunswick High School, died Saturday Ironi injuries sus tained during this wreck My point in writing this letter is die fact thai this horrible accident would never have taken place it an oveipass had been eoustiucled dm mg die building ol the Shallotte by pass. I can rccall. all duuug the >n struct ion, local people wouUcnng just how many would die at this in tersection before the state would ic ali/e what a blunder had been made. West Brunswick High School is approximately one hall nulc beyond Uus intersection. It is a very ieal es innate thai 7(1 percent of the stu dents pass through this intersection twice dail>. We, the people of Shallotte and Brunswick County, cannot sn quiet ly while that killer intersection ex ists. It reminds me ol a game ol Russian Roulette: we know tliat it will kill again we iu>l don t know when. Tommy, you and I have Kvn friends for many years, and friends depend on cach other all their lives. I am depending on you to look into this very serious mattet with the Name zeal and determination that you and I displa\ at election time Making mistakes is easy I hai inu i section is a mistake. The real piob lem is when we know that a mistake lias been made and we choose not to correct it Let's not tall into that eai Cgory.

Barbara Jones Shallotte Consumers Have Rights To the editor In all the business loiu.ic.s I ve taken. 1 learned that the job >>i the business owner is to satisfy the con sumer. Now with these small busi ness owners, the owner/manager is right and the consumer is wrong. The consumer has no rights unless you are willing to pay out a lot ol money to get justice The small business owuo .m de stroy damage, tear or rum ^oui per sonal property: but it's uoi Jieir fault or manufacturer's It is now time tor these small business owners lo accept their re sponsibility.

We know that white birds (herons, egrets, and ibis) can be found where they have the proper habitat. That usually will consist of some fresh water that is shallow, usually with some surface vegetation such as water lilies. Low shrubs and trees around the water are desirable for cover and protection. A food source is also a part of the need and some areas meeting the criteria lor water and cover no longer provide the small fish and Crustacea because ol water pollution. Some changes m habitats are natural, taking place because ol storms and other processes that destroy de sirable areas. I hese natui.il changes are usually slow and tnliei|iicni and sometimes repair themselves to provide otliei ty|>es of habitats. I he birds and plants and animals otten move to lind other natural areas to iheir liking The problems vsith die non-natural changes caused by us humans in habitat destruction is that there are fewer and fewer places for the birds and animals to move once the\ are ousted When we lose their habitats we lose them as well. And. loo often, continued loss ol habitat also means loss ol the species to extinction.
