(Consherto Williams Photo) College Eyeing Warren Site By KAY HORNER News Editor Warren County officials, who would like to see a branch of Vance-Granville Community College located in Warren County, are looking to the General Assembly for financial assistance in purchasing a building to house the local branch. County commissioners went on record last Wednesday at their mid-monthly meeting in support of a resolution from the County Industrial Develop ment Commission calling for a local presence of the college. According to Brad Carroll, commission member, the facility on East Macon Street in Warrenton that until recently housed Randy Currin Chevrolet has been targeted as a prime location. The asking price for the facility, which went on the market last fall, is $165,000, Carroll said. "We have been talldng about this (the need for the local branch) for a number of years," Carroll said. "There is a need for continuing education and for skills training. A majority of the county's work force is unskilled which hampers us in recruiting industry. It would help us to have a permanent facility here." Vance-Granville President Ben Currin noted at the meeting that an increase in student enrollment follows location of a branch in counties without a . J* -I community college. "We have found that where we put a presence up,...we increase participation and enrollment of students," Currin told the board. "There seems to be a high correlation between convenience and participation." Currently, about 116 people are enrolled in eight classes being sponsored off-campus by the college in Warren County Schools facilities, Currin said. He expressed appreciation for the cooperation of the schools with the college, but added that it would be especially advantageous for the college to have a facility where training equipment, such as word processors and shop tools, could be set up on a more permanent basis than is possible at the schools. Currin, who estimated that between nine and 11 percent of the student body on the main campus was from Warren County, said that the General Assembly in its last session funded community college satellites in six counties. Under the satellite concept, Currin said, the coun ty would provide the facility and pay for telephone service, utilities, and maintenance while the college would provide office and teaching personnel. The college has been instrumental in the past in skills training of employees for local industries, most recently at Owens-Illinois. If fund* can be secured from the General Assembly, this facility on East Macon Street In War ranto could soon house a branch of Vance-Granvflle Community College. The building until recently was occupied by Randy Currin Chevrolet. (Staff Photo) Guard Spending Fills Local Coffers Warrenton's 69 Na tional Guardsmen are among the 13,000 statewide who report for weekend drill and an nual training and who comprise a part of the North Carolina National Guard operating budget of nearly $100 million a year. Warrenton's por tion of the budget is $296,067.00, according to Colonel Joe Parker, state public relations of ficer for the Guard. Warrenton's alloca tion includes military pay for Guard mem bers, operating expense for the local armory, local purchases, and pay for full-time person nel. Replacement value for the Warren ton ar mory facility is estimated at $583,000.00. In releasing the finan cial information, MaJ. Gen. Hubert M. Leon ard, North Carolina Ad jutant General, pointed out, "The North Carolina National Guard is Indeed big business and the finan cial impact on our state is substantial. The Na tional Guard is more than a group of citizen soldiers ready to respond to state and federal emergencies. We are a viable asset to our state's economy." Col. Parker noted that the National Guard is best known for its assist ance to state and local authorities during emergencies. In 1984 North Carolina Guard personnel put in 4,665 mandays following the March tornadoes and an estimated 3,500 man days during and after Hurricane Diana. Republican Meet Set Officers for the next two years will be elected at the Republican Coun ty Convention on March 14 at 7:30 p. m. at the Warren County Court house. Eleven delegates and alternates will also be chosen to attend the district and state conven tions. The district con vention is scheduled for April and the state con vention for June 20-22. Persons interested in changing their party regist: ation will be welcomed at the county meeting, according to LelandGottschalk, coun ty chairman. $10,000 Is Appropriated Ambulance Staff To Be Increased Concern for the in creased workload of the four full-time staffers of the Warren County Am bulance Service led county commissioners last Wednesday to allocate an additional $10,000 during this fiscal year to increase staffing. The service logged 1,547 calls for 1984, an in crease of 400 over 1983. Currently, the four staffers work three-day shifts, on call 24 hours a day, with the fourth day off. State law requires that anytime the ambulance answers a call, two cer tified Emergency Med ical Technicians (EMTs) must be on board. According to Dennis Paschall, Ambulance Service director, the ser vice needs the additional manpower for backup. Three EMTs are on du ty at one time, but if two go out on call, the one re maining must search out a volunteer with EMT certification before answering another call. The ambulance ser vice would like to have four additional full-time EMTs, and the board agreed to work toward addition of two full-time EMT positions in the up coming budget. Paschall said this week that even with ad ditional funding, recruit ment is difficult. "The biggest thing is finding people who are willing to work the number of hours we have to work," Paschall said. Commissioner George Shearin told fellow com missioners Wednesday that lack n( adequate staffing was a liability for the county. "The salary is not at tractive, the hours are not attractive, and the situation there is pro viding us with a big liability," Shearin com mented. The board voted the additional funding after Chairperson Eva M. Clayton made a plea with the board to "do something...rather than continue talking about it." The suspension of in patient services at War ren General Hospital and the opening of the War ren Immediate Care Center was expected to increase the work load of the ambulance service. However, Paschall said Tuesday that although several trans fers from the center to area hospitals had been completed, there had been no appreciable in crease in hospital-relat ed calls. In other business, the board: —Supported by resolu tion requests from residents of WUdwood Point Subdivision on Lake Gaston that five streets in the subdivision be added to the state road system. A similar resolution was also ap proved for paving of San dy Yancey Road in Man son. The requests will be forwarded to the N.C. Department of Trans portation for dispo sition. —Indicated their intent to budget $5,000 for con tinued operation of KARTS (Kerr Area Regional Transportation System) for 1985-86. KARTS is a public transportation system serving the needs of residents in Warren, Vance, Franklin and Granville counties, especially the elderly and disadvantaged segments of the popula tion. According to Dottie Sparrow, KARTS coor dinator, a match of $5,000 by each county will enable the system to pur chase additional (Continued on page 3) Native Ut Maryland Young Physician To Practice Here A Baltimore, Md. native recruited by the N.C.
