Needs Numbers
For Orrock, the hardest adjustment
since his return is attempting to
deal with the department's budget,
he said, "not being able to get a handle
on the numbers."
"I enjoy working with the
numbers; I like knowing how much is
budgeted and how much we've spent,
where we stand."
During Monday's meeting, he
cautiously pleaded ignorance of
items with which he wasn't familiar,
especially those relating to money.
"I don't feel comfortable about addressing
many items on the agenda,"
he said. "I don't really know what's
going on yet."

the convenience .station program?including
delays in engineering
design, revisions because of high
cost estimates and a lack of bidders
on the project.
At first, the station was to have
been ready by summer 1984, then
summer 1985 It was to have been the
first of four such sites along the
heavily populated coastal area, a
way of meeting the demands of garbage
accumulation in the county's
most heavily populated areas. By
consolidating green box sites on
county-owned property and providing
larger-capacity containers,
the county hoped to accomplish
several things, including: to speed
garbage collection efforts, to reduce
tlx- number of deliberately set green
Im>x fires and also to eliminate problems
with property owners in retainlng
sites from year to year.
By using pilings, commissioners
were told Monday, the county can cut
the estimated cost of the project from
about $50,(XX) to $20,000

Studying the budget and revising it
to reflect legislative changes enacted
since its adoption in June will be a top
priority. He also wants to study
departmental reorganization that
might help alleviate some of the problems
identified in an 1982-83 audit
and other state reviews.
He proposes to reassign various
bookkeeping and accounting duties to
a single person, whom he would
prefer be within the department, not
in the county finance office, he said.
Both the county's finance officer and
a regional social services official
have said they would rotate months

(reinstatement
Grrock was dismissed by the social
services board on Nov. 30,1983, after
a former employee accused him,of
sexual harassment on the jpb. Orrock
was not allowed a hearing before the
board. The social services board rejected
a recommendation from the
N.C. Personnel Commission that he
be rehired. Orrock was reinstated as
department head on Aug. 19 after
county commissioners and social service
board mebmers agreed to settle
out-of-court a suit he had filed seeking
reinstatement. The county also
agreed to pay him up to $68,000 in
esday
again in the eighth-grade. Lemon
said. Seventh-graders will not be introduced
to the language this year.
Students will also note several
changes in the school cafeterias this
year, including an option to choose
from bag lunches, a salad bar or the
regular type A lunch.
Schools will begin serving bag lunches
on Sept. 16 that feature hot ham
and cheese sandwiches, roast beef,
chicken fillet, fish burgers and

The "offer vs. serve program" will
also operate in all school cafeterias
this year that allows students to turn
uown one or two 01 me live iooci items
in the lunch if they do not intend to
eat them.
"When a student has declined a full
portion of an item, schools may offer
the student smaller portions," a
school news release states. "This
program is designed to help
eliminate waste."
Al leasl once a month, a food or
combination of foods not previously
served in the cafeterias will also be
featured to introduce students to new -{
foods. On Sept. 24, the feature food of
the month is "jungle stew," a
casserole dish.

request to Increase the foster care
board rate to the state reimbursement
limit, from $165 to $215, once it
has a better idea of how the increase
would affect its budget. It appears
now the board would have to seek additional
funds from the county in
order to increase the rate, and
possibly to meet even its present
uuugtv.
Agreed to reconsider a proposal
for a social worker to investigate
claims of abuse, neglect and the like.
State funding of $10,000 is available
for two years only, so the county
would be expected to pick up the program
as well as make up the salary
difference in the first two years.
A similar position was rejected by
commissioners' in this year's budget
and Chairman Frankie Rabon said
he might have problems supporting
the move. "I feel really strongly
about staying within the budget," he
said.
Left to the director's discretion a
request for educational leave to work
on a master's degree in social work
submitted by Mildred Bellamy, the
foster care social worker.
