REACHING FOR THE BLUE DHHS preparing response to request for report on DSS compliance problems

By Allen Turner [email protected]

The N.C. Dept. of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is preparing a response to a request from this newspaper for copies of documents that have prompted the state to require the Columbus County Dept. of Social Services (DSS) to hire an outside consultant for which the DSS will have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to help bring the department into compliance with child welfare regulations. In a meeting with this newspaper last week, Columbus County DSS Director Algernon McKenzie did not discuss specifics of the shortcomings identified in the report, saying only that problems involved timeline and documentation requirements. McKenzie also said that a decision still had not been made on which consultant would be hired, or at what cost. McKenzie had told county commissioners on Aug. 15 that, in response to a review of local records to ensure local com- pliance with laws, rules and policies, the state is mandating that a consultant be engaged. McKenzie told commissioners that the consultant recom- mended by the state DHHS director would cost $53,000 for three months of work. Another potential consultant possibly could do the work for $28,500, he said, but that consultant might take more than three months to complete the job, driving up the costs. McKenzie told commissioners the state will reimburse 40-50 percent of what the county has to pay the consultant, Staff photo by Grant Merritt but the county will be responsible for the balance.

Sheriff ’s department reports show that Travyn Dubar, 29, was admitted to New Hanover Regional Medical Center Wednesday night with a gunshot wound to the leg. In District Court on Friday, Dubar pleaded guilty to assault by pointing a gun in an April case involving a Leland man mowing grass at the Acme-Delco-Reigelwood fire station. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail and a year of probation in that case. Sheriff ’s office spokesperson Dubar Michelle Tatum said Columbus deputies were contacted by NHRMC Special Police after Dubar came into the Emergency Room with a gunshot wound to the leg. He told investigators someone shot him in the leg while he was driving on Delco- Prosper Road, Tatum said. His injuries were not life-threatening, and Dubar had no suspect information. Investigators said how Dubar got to the hospital is unknown, since his car had a flat tire, and was found behind a home on Staff photo by Jefferson Weaver Old Lake Road where Dubar said he parked it. The driver of this car was not seriously hurt when it turned over on Red Hill Road near Tom Sessions Road Thursday The investigation is continuing. afternoon.

However, the visiting Trojans put up three scores in the second half that led to a 28-15 vic- tory over the Stallions in the non-conference battle of a longtime football rivalry. The win put West Brunswick’s early season record at 2-0 as its offense controlled the tempo for most of the second half. Coach Kelly Williamson’s Trojans were led by the running of durable back Anthony Mc- Crae. Senior Dennis Leggett led South Columbus rushers with 122 yards and a first-quarter touch- down. Leggett has been the Stallions’ leading rusher and scorer since his sophomore season. Leggett also had a 50-yard touchdown run called back by a penalty and the Stallions saw another opportunity slip away on a dropped pass that could have registered another TD. West Brunswick took its largest lead of the game in the fourth quarter when its fourth touchdown put the score 28-7. Whiteville junior running back Keshawn Bellamy (8) follows a block by teammate Nathan Edwards (73) in second-quarter South Columbus responded with a score on action of Friday night’s high school football game with visiting East Bladen at Legion Stadium.
