the governor-elect said,

operation but she was a frail
baby, when she was brought
to Children's Home Society.
' The surgeons planned to
remove the tube after two
months If, at that time, the
repaired portion of the

Amy had to be held in a sit

Although the prognosis for
her complete recovery was
excellent, Amy's physical

for years. She needed an
adoptive family who could
meet those special needs.

T.ERIE
Haste Described As
'Natural Choice'
T. Erie Haste Jr. was a
natural choice to fill a posi
tion on the brand new N.C.
Coastal Resources Commis
sion back in 1974. His ac
tivities in his community
have always reflected his '
concern for the future of
Northeastern North
Carolina.
' 5 He is serving as a Town
Councilman for the Town of
Hertford. He was president '
of the Albemarle Area
Development Association '
during the creation of the
Albemarle' Regional Plan
ning and Development Com-;
mi8ifflB,Hbe Lead Regional
Organization for the area.
He is on the Board of Direc
tors for the Bank of North
Carolina in . Hobbsville,
Gates County. Haste is
owner and operator of Hert
ford Hardware & Supply
Company, Inc. in Per
quimans County and City
Marina, Inc. in Camden
County. His familiarity with
all these areas proves to be
a great asset to the opera
tions of the Coastal
Resource Commission.
When reviewing the .ac
tivities of the Commission
for the past two years in a
recent interview, Haste ad
' mitted that the Commission
started out with a
monumental task: "All of
the original Commission
members were appointed
from the 20 coastal counties.
We were all laymen that
knew little about the Coastal
Area Management Act and
the ' responsibilities we
would have as Commis
sioners." Their first job was
to help local governments
produce land use plans for
long term growth. "This
was a painfully slow pro-;
cess... a learning process for
all involved," attests Erie.
Yet Haste feels that the
quality of the land use plans" .
approved this year reflects
the extensive work and
research that was expended
in their development. He '
points out that Chowan and
Perquimans counties, for in
stance, have had some
"helter-skelter, develop
ment" in the past. "Two
developments in this area,
Holiday - Island and Snug '
Harbor have had serious
problems," asserts Haste. .
; "These mistakes can be '
avoided in the future by us
ing the information that has
been gathered in the land
use plans. These plans not
only contain technical' data, .
but reflect the desires of the ;
people regarding the future
land uses in their areas.' .
v in Chowan County and
Edenton measures to imple-,

ment the plans and guide
new growth have already
been adopted. Both areas
have subdivision regula
tions, and . Edenton is
now enforcing a zoning
ordinance.
In Perquimans County ob
jectives are set forth in the
land use plan to adopt a set
of zoning ordinances,
strengthen the existing sub
division regulations, adopt a
set of building codes, and
mobile home ordinances.
Similar measures are now
being implemented in most
coastal communities as a
resuH'Of land "use plan
ning activities under the
Coastal Area Management
Program.
Meanwhile, the members
of the Coastal Resources
Commission have been ex
amininga list of en
vironmentally fragile areas
which may be in line for
special management and
designation as Areas of En
vironmental Concern. The
Commission will consult
with local government of
ficials and citizens in each of
the twenty counties before
they make final decisions
next summer.
Haste is concerned that
many local officials, and
coastal citizens may not be
aware of the philosophy of
the members of the Coastal
Resources Commission.
"We feel that we do not
represent state government,
but, rather local people; we
feel it is our responsibility to
be a liason between,the state
and coastal citizens so that
the Commission forms the
link that can help us, on the
coast, solve ,some of our
planning problems," Haste
offers.
For the more distant
future, Haste is aware that
the Commission's work on
coordinating the complex
permit letting procedure
run by state and federal
agencies will be of "prime
importance." Haste hopes
that something close to a
one-stop permit-shopping
arrangement can be set up.
Then any individual wishing
to develop in an area that re
quires more than one permit
could go to one office in their
county, fill out a minimum
of paperwork and receive a
response on the total project
within a designated time.
Although originally op
posed to the Coastal Area
Management Act, Haste has
obviously changed his
views. As more control has
been placed in the hands of
local governments, he has
