2 THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28,2018 Dail named Eastern Region Director for Prisons From Staff Reports RALEIGH — The Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice has named Craven Cor rectional Institution Administra tor Larry Dail as the new Eastern Region Director for Prisons. Dail, 64, who has spent 35 years with the state in Prisons, replaces Annie Harvey, who was promoted to the deputy director of Prisons on July 31, 2017. The Eastern Re gion consists of 12 prisons. “We could not have selected a better person to fill this role than Larry Dail,” said Interim Chief Deputy Secretary Reuben Young. “He is an example of someone who is proud of his correctional officer roots and has worked at every level of prison operations with distinction.” Said Dail, “I never dreamed of it. I started out as a correctional offi cer and wanted it to be my career. I learned quickly this was a great place to make it my career.” Dail began his career as a cor rectional officer at Eastern CI in 1983 and moved up through the ranks at the facility to captain. He transferred to Greene Cor rectional Institution in 1994 as a captain and was promoted to as sistant superintendent for custody and operations before returning to Eastern CI in 1999 as the assistant superintendent for custody and operations. In 2005, Dail was promoted to assistant superintendent for custody and operations at the new Maury Correctional Institu tion. He also graduated from the then-N.C. Department of Correc tion Leadership Development Program. His CLDP project on undue familiarity later sparked the Office of the Secretary of Cor rection to develop the “Red Flags — Are We Paying Attention to Staff?” poster, which is currently found in all prisons. Dail was promoted to superin tendent at Craven CI in 2007. A year later, he graduated from the U.S. Department of Justice Nation al Institute of Corrections Leader ship Development Program.

CENSUS Continued from 1 people died than were born. A third category, “in ternational migration” also fell by 17 people. Chowan likewise saw a 264 person decrease in pop ulation through birth/death rates but an even larger loss of 501 people through domestic migration. Pasquotank County on the other hand had a net increase of 622 people through natural means and 551 through “international migration.” However it wasn’t enough to offset the 2,122 people who migrated domestically. Gates County also lost 63 people through birth/death figures, but saw an addi tional loss of 626 people through domestic migra- tion. Cathy Davison, the direc tor of the Hertford-based Albemarle Commission, said while the total popula tion number may be stable, the average age is not. “Our population is aging right now. When we do our budget every year, we see that,” Davison said. People age 60 and above now make up 46 percent of the population. Davison isn’t surprised that people decide to move to Perquimans. “You have the proximity to the Coast Guard base and the qualify of life is good. If you have a family, you look at schools and honestly Per quimans County has some great schools.” Property tax rates are also much lower in Perqui mans than in surrounding areas. “You can buy more house here, and people are savvy about that.” While Gov. Roy Cooper praised the state’s increase in total population, he men tioned how some parts of the state aren’t growing. “We want to encour age growth for all parts of North Carolina-urban and rural, from the mountains to the coast.” Brunswick County since April 2010 has seen the largest percent growth of any county in the state at 21.8 percent. The es timates also highlighted growth in Southern Pines (Moore County) and Dunn (Harnett County). Both cities ranked among the top 10 for numeric growth among micropolitan areas in the country, defined by the Census Bureau as ur ban clusters of between 10,000 and 50,000 resi dents.
