Deadline Friday- February 6th 12pm GREETING: Address State Mike, Bobby, Angie Let your loved ones know how much you MAGARO Continued from 1 “I’m not one to easily give up,” Magaro said. “I believe in the Workforce Develop ment Act. But I have found after three and a half years of experience that there are persistent problems. I’ve talked to a very large num ber of previous board mem bers and current board members and the consen sus there is an environment there that is non-transpar ency and accountability.” Keith Renner, another former member of the workforce board, agreed with Magaro. Deadline for publication is Friday-February 6th -12PM CAMP CALE Continued from 1 that aren’t. The opening of the center was a major step forward for the camp, Thomas said. The next step is to build modern bunkhouses to house the 80 campers who visit Cale each week during the seven-week summer camping season. What Thomas hopes to do is widen the use of Cale during the other 45 weeks a year. February will mark the fourth year for Thomas as director. To do that and increase the number of summer camp- “We were told that no matter what decision we made, the staff was not going to answer to the board.” “What’s supposed to happen is the workforce consortium decides what needs to be done and the board decides how to do it but there never has been any agreement,” Magaro said. “The consortium has failed to provide strategic guidance so we constantly argue about who has to do what. “We keep tripping over the same rock,” Magaro said of the workforce pro gram. “The question is who is driving the bus?” ers the group can handle, Thomas wants to build two modem 40-bed bunkhouses. They’d be heated and air conditioned so they could be used year round by people who may want to hold an ex tended retreat at the camp. Now that the debt for the conference center is settled, Thomas hopes to work more on making the new expan sion happen. , “I’m not sure if it’s pos sible, but I’d really love to break ground on them some times this year,” he said. The cost is in the ballpark of $400,000 for each bunk- house. “That’s still up in the air,” he said. Unlike the conference center, which was a turn-key Pasquotank County Com mission Lloyd Griffin, the leader of the consortium, could not be reached for comment. Cathy Davison, the head of the Albemarle Commis sion, said the framework of the workforce program is a federal decision. “It’s the way it was set up and at the end of the day, the workforce staff works for the commission,” Davi son said. She said the 12-person staff is needed because the agency covers a 10-county area. It’s also not respon sible for duties that used to be handled by the Employ ment Security Commission. project handled by Grizer Construction of Rocky Mount, Thomas hopes some of the work on the bunk- houses can be provided by volunteer labor. That could dramatically reduce the price. The exact location of the units would also increase or decrease the cost. Cale’s next big event is set for April 18 with “Pig Out on the Perquimans.” In addition to food, there will be a pinewood derby- type race, dubbed the “Cale 500” to attract the younger crowd. There will also be a 5-K trial run. In the past the event has drawn between 200 and 400 people. “Hopefully we’ll be bigger this year,” Thomas said.
