RICHARDS On The Road Again, To Seminar, Conference RY HOLLY RICHARDS, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT South Brunswick Islands Chamber Of Commerce Oiicc again we're on the road, promoting the South Brunswick Islands and learning at the same time. First, Membership Coordinator, Kathi Grissetl and I will be in Myrtle Beach for the Association of Membership Executives of the Carolina's conference. It's a three-day seminar on selling memberships, retaining existing members, advertising techniques and Ambassador's Club guidance. I've never attend ed this membership conference, so I did a little checking with some respected counterparts from oth er chambers in the state. I was told that this confer ence was a great educational opportunity and one t<x> good to pass up. So.. .we're off. We'll let you know the results. As soon as we get back from Myrtle Beach, we're off again. This time to Greensboro, but not to promote tourism. This time to promote economic development in the Brunswick County. We're attending the Governor's Economic Development Summit. The summit is sponsored by the organization that I came from. North Carolina Citizens for Business and Industry (NCCBI). This week I spoke with Phil Kirk, President of NCCBI, and Paul McGuirc of the Governor's Economic Development Summit, they informed me that they're expecting over 600 top business and economic development peo ple to attend the conference. I am thrilled that our county has come out in full force to participate ui the summit. We'll be taking a delegation from our chamber, as well as the Committee of 100, Resources Development, Southport/Oak Island Chamber and their Committee of 100. Brunswick County will be well represented in Greensboro We'll also have an information booth on Brunswick County as part of the exhibits at the show. I'm looking forward to seeing many old friends and counterparts in Greensboro, and introducing my new Bmnswick County friends to the people who arc a vital link to con trolled economic growth in the state of North Carolina. (We'll be sure to put a bug in their ears about Brunswick County). Here's a little inside information for those of you who hear me on the radio. This week I might be doing something different, so keep lis tening.

The accreditation is the highest level that can be received by a health car? facility. It is based on a report completed in December 1991 fol lowing a survey team visit to the hospital. The visit resulted in the best report the hospital has ever received. In North Carolina, the N.C. De partment of Human Resources ac cepts JCAHO accreditation as certi fication that a hospital has met state licensure standards. Periodically, the agency does a random sample evalu ation of hospital accreditations by the JCAHO in order to validate its findings. During their visit to The Bruns wick Hospital, surveyors completed a comprehensive assessment of care, basing evaluations on standards and characteristics developed by JCA HO in cooperation with health care professionals and their professional organizations. In the hospital lab, for example, surveyors observed routine tasks, evaluated turn-around limes on tests and checked the accuracy of blood levels for drug dosages as part of their quality control assessment. JCAHO is considered the "bench mark" agency nationally for accredi tation ot health care organizations, said Daphne Yarbrough, the hospi tal's marketing director. Accredi tation is a voluntary process for health care facilities and involves compliance with standards in all ar eas of operation. Emphasis is placed on evaluation of patient care in all departments. The Brunswick Hospital is the on ly accredited hospital in the county. "This survey makes us a better hospital, and thai is why we choosc to go through it," said Earl Tamar, the hospital's chief executive officer. 'The fact that the survey team looked at every aspcct of our opera tion and found it lo be of superior quality should give area residents confidence in our abilities to meet their needs."

Wallace Martin, Town Manager Village of Bald Head Island Ordinance To Regulate Leland's Peddlers BY TERRY POPE Lcland officials want to crack down on peddlers and repeal its privilege license fees. Persons who set nn rnaHsirte stands are hurting established shops and stores, some Leland businesses claim. Roadside peddlers do not have to buy a privilege license, as approved by the council last June. Phil Guyer, who owns a seafood market, wrote a letter to Mayor S.L. Doty last week asking for regula tions against peddlers. A person be gan selling seafood from the back of a pickup truck recently across from Guyer's market. The person told Guyer that he paid S5 to former mayor Russell Baldwin so he could park on Bald win's vacant lot. 'Hierc is a standing rule of thumb, said Guyer, that peddlers have agreed not to set up near an estab lished seafood market. The town should adopt a peddler's ordinance to prevent Lcland from becoming the "yard sale capital of the world," he noted. "I think it's time we started clean ing up our act," said Guyer. Town Attorney A. A. Canoulas said he will prepare a peddlers' ordi nance for the council to review at its March meeting. "I don't know if Mr. Baldwin hi?s a license to open a business like that," said Doty. "I think we should do every thing in our power to prevent that. This man docs have a le gitimate con cern." Doty defeated Baldwin in the November elec tion. Since December, the council has repealed a number of items passed by the previous council. That board was criticized lor approving controversial items 3-2, with Baldwin, Lyncttc Carlisle and William Benton casting the necessary votes. Thomas Hyatt defeated Ms. Carlisle and Sadie Richburg was chosen to replace Benton, who re signed in December. According to Town Clerk Joyce Bragg, Baldwin has paid a privilege liccnsc fee for his mobile home park. But persons who own busi nesses musl buy a licensc for every business they own. *4I u/aiiIH lilrr* tuhnn r>rr?r*'?rini? thr* ' " "v" f '"o budget for next year, to find a way to repeal privilege liccnsc taxes," said Councilman George Yates. "It's not worth the hassle for the citizens and business people of this town." Yalcs said ii wii hypiicfiiica! for Lcland to have a privilege license fee when "one of the reasons for be coming a town was to prevent Unit from happening to us." Lcland incorporated in 1989 by resolution of the N.C. General Assembly. Neighboring Belvillc had planned to annex most of the area that is now Lcland. The former council, under Bald win, adopted the privilege license fee ordinance in June 1991. It contains a sliding fee scale depending on the type or size of the business. An estimated S8,(XX) to S1(),(KX) in annual revenues, including beer and wine permits, were cxpccted from the fees. "1 think there arc a lot of in equities," said Councilwoman Jane Gilbert. In other business last 1'lnir s<L?> . Feb. 13, the council: ?Set a public hearing for March J 9, 7 p.m., ut the town hn!! on 2 rcsolti tion to amend the town charter limit ing the mayor's power to vote only to break a tic.
