4 Tuesday, August 25, 1998 UNC Graduate Takes New Post L. Bingham Roenigk, former analyst for Durham County, comes to Carrboro as the assistant town manager. By Scott Wright Staff Writer Excited by the town of Carrboro’s innovative management practices, L. Bingham Roenigk will take on the duties of her new position as assistant town manager Wednesday. Roenigk, who will fill the position Larry Gibson vacated in February, has 11 years of experience in local govern ment. Her most recent position was in the Durham County manager’s office as senior budget analyst. Durham County Manager David Thompson said Roenigk was especially adept with organization and operations. “She was a key employee of mine,” Thompson said. “She’ll have a strong and immediate impact in Carrboro.” He said Roenigk also functioned as a planning and administrative manager in Durham. /xSfokP l nTH° f 968-FAST96B-3278 GUMBY’S IS JUST TOO SWEEET!

Franklin St. • Eastgate Shopping Center j OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK ii In her previous position, she inte grated work plans that were designed to accomplish the Durham County Board of Commissioners’ goals. “That’s a very involved process because Durham County has a lot of employees,” Thompson said. Roenigk referred to Carrboro’s goal driven budget and its participation in the statewide benchmarking project as the two things which attracted her to the position. She described the goal-driven budget as learning what the community wants to do and then “corralling the organiza tion around a shared vision.” The benchmarking project involves taking various performance measures of government services in order to better understand what areas can be improved. “I believe both management prac tices emphasize the role of government in improving the quality of life in a com munity,” Roenigk said. Carrboro Town Manager Robert Morgan said Roenigk’s responsibilities will include accounting and purchasing operations and risk management. “She will also be a key player in tech nological improvements, as well as the lead person in looking at performance measures for the town and helping department heads look at how to pro vide services differendy,” Morgan said. Morgan said he and Carrboro’s accounting officer had shared the responsibilities of the assistant town manager for the past six months. “I’ll be glad to see her,” Morgan said. “She has a good knowledge of local gov ernment accounting and came to us highly recommended.” Thompson, a former student of Morgan’s, said Roenigk would be an asset to the department. “I think she’ll be a great complement to Bob Morgan,” Thompson said. Roenigk graduated from the public administration program at UNC. “I have fond memories of Carrboro and Chapel Hill,” Roenigk said. “Carrboro used to be my stomping ground.” Roenigk said she was a member of the Carolina Tar Wheels, who regularly met and hiked in Carrboro. She said she will be glad to be back in the area “I really look forward to work ing with the manager and the board.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.

She and her husband, David, have reserved a rental trailer to haul their belongings off the barrier island to Jacksonville, where they could stay with family. With the storm still far out at sea, many vacationers and surfers stayed put to enjoy the beach while they could, but experienced coastal residents stocked up on emergency supplies or got ready to head for higher ground. Emergency management workers at Wilmington tested their generators and stocked up on supplies, including bot tles of Maalox and Turns. “We’re very much concerned about the coast, primarily Georgia and the Carolinas, but it could still be even as far west as northern Florida,” Jarrell said. “It’s erratic.

Sudan President Attacks Clinton The Associated Press KHARTOUM, Sudan - Sudan’s leader accused President Clinton on Monday of being “a war criminal of the first degree” for an attack on a Khartoum factory the United States says made chemical weapons. President Omar Flassan el-Bashir said that if the United States truly believed the factory manufactured chemical weapons, it committed “an ugly crime” by bombing it in the midst of a city and DOGWOOD ACRES From Page 1 phone calls Monday evening. “It’s really a pain in the butt when they start burning,” said PJ.

We can’t open windows.” Vaught said he asked Brian Properties officials to consider hauling instead of burning several months ago, but the company did not heed his suggestion.

El-Bashir told The Associated Press this was evidence U.S. officials knew the Khartoum plant made only medicine - as Sudan maintains. “The American president has violat ed international law, and he meant to destroy a civilian establishment and to kill innocent people,” el-Bashir said. The Sudanese president also said he was recalling Sudan’s ambassador to Britain and would ask London to with draw its ambassador from Khartoum in “It was totally inappropriate,” Vaught said. “It seemed like a poor decision on their part and totally profit-motivated.” Though several neighbors com plained to each other about the smoke, some said they did not think local gov ernments and developers cared about their complaints or inconvenience. “We’re in the Orange County tax dis trict,” McWilliam said. “And we don’t vote for Chapel Hill Town Council. So, I’m sure they don’t care about us until they want to annex us.

Jason Hartsough, a senior from Greensboro, thought the Union conver sion was a good idea. “They don’t need it (as a food station) anymore,” he said. “Before, the chairs (in the Union lounge) were always filled in the morning.
