Brunswick County's Health Department
will participate in Project ASSIST, a federally
funded program aimed at helping smokers quit
the habu.
Brunswick and New Hanover counties,
w hich filed a joint application last month to par
ticipatc in the program, were among the 1 1 sites
chosen in the state to receive part of the S8.5
million in Project ASSIST funds.
ASSIST slnnds for the American Stop
Smoking Intervention Study for Cancer
Prevention, a joint effort sponsored by the
National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer
Society plus state and local health agencies.
The goal is to educate persons about the
dangers and health problems caused by tobacco
use and to rcducc '.he number of tobacco users
by the year 2(*X).
Project ASSIST will expand on existing or
ganizations and community groups to help elim
inate tobacco use by "bringing effective preven
tion and cessation interventions to those who
participate voluntarily," said Jan Reichenbach,
Brunswick County's public health educator.
The program is aimed at children and ado
lescents. pregnant women and tobacco users
who want to quit.
A seven-year project, ASSIST will disburse
$8.5 million for use in the media, schools and
health care systems throughout the state.
Following the iwo-ycar planning phase, the
stale will initiate five years of intervention, said
Ms. Reichcnbach.
According to a National Cancer Institute
fact sheet, the primary objective of the national
program is to dcclinc tobacco use among adults
to 15 percent by the year 2CXX). The program al
so hopes to cut in half the number of new smok
ers among adolescents by the year 2(XX).
In North Carolina, approximately ?9 X per
cent of persons over the age of 16 smoke tobac
co, according to a 1985 survey. The 37.9 per
cent among adult males was second highest in
the United States.

two-unit plant.
Additional inspectors were as

weaknesses in plant maintenance
performance and procedures.
Also, the plant's three regular in
spectors arc performing additional
inspections in preparation for a spe
cial performance review that will be
issued in May after the additional
staff have left.
At the lime of the January review
and at a recent press conference in
Wilmington, the NRC said it consid
ered the problems at the CP&L plant
as serious and would be looking
closely at its operations.
The plant has been fined eight
times since July 1988 for violations.
The most recent came on Jan. 6,
when a fine of SI 25 ,000 was im
posed for violation of maintenance
control procedures.
Following the special perfor

Coworksrs Rgiss $-4,500 For d g u d i ! ! FunH
A one-day effort by fellow em
ployees at the U.S. Army's Military
Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point has
raised more than S4.500 for a bone
marrow transplant fund established
for Chris Caudill of Supply.
Terminal spokesman Myrtle D.
Meade said employees brought in
cakes and other baked goods to be
auctioned, as did some of Mrs.
Caudill's friends and neighbors.
Some of the cakes sold for as much
as S250cach.
Employees also sold light break
fast and lunch items to hring the
day's total to S4.521.
The fundraiser was held Friday,
Feb. 13, said Mrs. Meade, "when on
ly bad things arc supposed to hap
pen."
Security Division employees Ka
ren Bridger, Charlie White, Glenn
Webb and Riley Kester, Mrs.
Caudill's immediate supervisor.
helped coordinate the event.
"This event shows the Army peo
ple who work with Chris think a lot
of her and did w hat we could to
help," said Mrs. Meade.
As noted in last week's Beacon,
Dixon Chapel United Methodist
Church has established the Chns
Caudill Bone Marrow Transplant
Fund at UCB to help raise the funds
she needs for the procedure, more
lhan SHK).(XX).
Since the transplant is considered
an experimental treatment under fed
eral insurance guidelines for the type
of cancer she has, her insurance poli
cy will not cover the expense.
The event at the Army terminal is
just of numerous benefits planned to
help Mrs. Caudill.
