WILLIAMS From Page 1-A adopt but we are aiming for reduc- ing by 40 percent this backlog over a three year period," he said. Hensley said an assessment team will also give a report card to Cleveland County on how well it takes care of kids in foster care. He called for more updating of reporting data statewide and said the county is looking at a comput- erized system which can be bought with grant money and some match- ing funds. A Kings Mountain Santor appeared before the board to com- plain that it took 12 weeks for her three-year-old grandchild to re- ceive child support checks. "I am all for welfare reform but I want some answers," she said. DSS Director Lorene Rogers said she was reluctant to talk at a public meeting about the particular case but reiterated that it takes time particularly in an incident when a parent changes jobs and the new company has to be notified about deduction of wages from payroll checks. "I am aware of these kinds of problems involving absent parents but we do our best" said Attorney Julian Wray. "It's not a simple pro- cedure." Board member Jim Crawley re- ported that a place and moderator had been obtained for a planning session but suggested the board delay the retreat until the county commission names the new mem- ber of the board to replace Williams and until the current chairman Rosaleen Hunt has recu- perated from an illness. Vice- Chairman Stuart LeGrand, who chaired the meeting, and member Jerri Horne agreed with the recom- mendation.
