First Choice Realty of Hertford and Elizabeth City has announced plans to affiliate with the Better Homes and Gardens Real Es tate Service. The company name will become First Choice Realty-Better Homes and Gardens May 1. First Choice, which will remain locally owned and operated, will become the 16th North Carolina member of the nation's third largest real estate net work. C.D. White of First Choice said his company accepted the invitation to join Better Homes and Gardens "be cause it is a well-known, family type of name that provides service. This gives our customers two names they can trust." "Better Homes and Gar dens" magazine is the nation's larg est home and family magazine with more than 8,000,000 subscribers. White said the affiliation also gives the firm tools that will help consum ers market properties faster and more efficiently. "The Home Mar I keting System is geared toward fas ter home sales," said White. "It wraps all the elements of selling a home in a package. That will be good for our customers because it will pro vide better service." The affiliation also brings First Choice into a national referral net work of home buyers and sellers. The company will also offer customers home protection plans, consumer in formation, and a Home Buying Sys ' tem for smoother home purchases. Better Homes and Gardens also su ports the firm's plans for growth. The firm will be the exclusive Better Homes and Gardens member in its market territory, meaning there will be no other Better Homes and Gar dens member in its area. White said the rapid growth of the company in Northeastern North Carolina has not come at the expense of customer service. "In fact, this new name rec ognition will only enhance our posi tion of authority," said White. Since the firm opened its doors in 1984, it has grown to six sales asso ciates in two offices at 709 South Church Street in Hertford and 903 A Halstead Boulevard in Elizabeth City. The Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Service was formed in 1978 as an offshoot of "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine and is a na tional network of 510 firms with 1,100 offices and 23,600 sales associates in all 50 states. These firms completed 165,000 residential real estate trans actions in 1986, up from 130,000 in 1985. The Real Estate Service is an oper ating group of Meredith Corporation, a Fortune 500 diversified media com pany based in Des Moines, Iowa. Aside from "Better Homes and Gar dens" magazine, the company also has other interests in magazine and book publishing, printing, and broad casting.

Photos By George 426-7274 Memories to Latf... of that$pecia[ Day VICKIE R. GODFREY MONTE C. ERPS Hagemyer named director RALEIGH? Governor Jim Martin has selected Dr. Richard H. Hage myer of Charlotte North Carolina, to be the first Executive Director of the newly formed Governor's Commis sion on Literacy. As the Executive Director, Dr. Hagemyer will help the Governor and the 16-member Board of Commissioners design and imple ment a state literacy-improvement program. Hagemyer, founding president of Central Piedmont Community Col lege, is well known for his efforts to improve literacy in North Carolina. It was during his tenure at CPCC that the nationally acclaimed Adult Basic Literacy Education Center was ini tiated in Mecklenburg County. By using a combination of one-on one tutoring and computer-assisted instructions, Dr. Hagemyer's innova tive reading and basic math program has made it possible for thousands of adults to achieve their dreams of be coming literate. In fact, the ABLE Center has been so successful that Vice President George Bush's wife, Barbara, vowed to promote it to edu cation circles nationwide. During an awards ceremony at CPCC in 1985, Mrs. Bush touted Ha gemyer's program as a model. "I only visit proven programs," she said. "The (U.S.) Department of Ed ucation said this was the greatest program... with its use of technology in tutoring." It is Dr. Hagemyer's highly-re garded background in helping adults obtain reading and math skills that convinced Governor Martin to seek the recently retired college president as the Commissioner's Director to work with Commission Chairman Bill Friday. "Dr. Hagemyer's appointment is right in keeping with state and na tional proclamations naming 1987 as the 'Year of the Reader,"' Governor Martin said. "If his success with the ABLE center is any indication, North Carolina has a lot to look forward to regarding adult education. "Improving literacy in North Caro lina is a necessity," he said. "Almost every vocation is becoming technolo gically advanced in one way or an other. It is vital to our economy and our sense of responsibility that we give our people every chance to excel in the changing job market. The most favorable testimonial to Dr. Hagemyer's abilities, however, may come from the people he has strived to help. James E. Under wood, one of ABLE Center's success stories, paid tribute to Dr. Hagemyer during his retirement ceremony in 1986. Rolfe Neill, publisher of the Charlotte Observer, recorded Under wood's comments. "The first couple of months I was there, I said to myself, 'Lord have mercy! If they had had this type learning in the public schools, we wouldn't have any welfare, period.'" the 48-year-old businessman said. "We wouldn't have any because self respect means a lot... Dr. Hagemyer, you opened up a whole new world out there for everybody who can't read and write." In another Charlotte Observer story about the inovative program, Special Correspondent Mary crews quoted ABLE student Bob Dean, a 46 year-old factory worker. "When I first came to ABLE, I couldn't read at all or do any math," he said. "I wouldn't pass this up for anything. It's changed my life." Developing ABLE Center is only one of Dr. Hagemyer's many accom plishments. In 1986 Dr. Hagemyer was recognized by his peers in a na tional study as one of the United States' 18 most effective college and university presidents. It was under his leadership in 1985 that Central Piedmont Community College was named one of the five best commu nity colleges in the United States. As Executive Director of the Gov ernor's Commission on Literacy, Dr. Hagemyer is responsible for plan nning, designing and implementing state literacy programs. His appoint ment will be reconsidered for rene wal in September. For more information please con tact Dr. Lee Monroe, (919) 733-5811 or Karen Hayes Rotterman, 1-800-662 7005.
