• Halford

(continued from page 1)

Halford had been on paid administrative leave since May 8. Halford was sent an initial certified letter on June 4 by Polk County saying her employment with the county was terminated. She was sent another letter on Wednesday, June 5 stating that it had come to the county’s attention that recent changes to personnel records law require the county provide Halford with specific reasons for the finding of just cause for her termination. “You are hereby advised that the specific reasons for finding detrimental and unacceptable personal conduct are as follows,” states the county’s letter dated June 5. “1. Sexual harassment in violation of Title VII, Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (both quid pro quo and sexual favoritism), 2. Impeding the course of an official investigation by lying to public officials, and 3. Creating or causing a hostile or abusive work environment through means of verbal abuse, intimidation and retaliation.” The first letter, dated June 4 said that Halford was hereby advised that effective immediately, her employment with Polk County was terminated with just cause. “This decision was reached based upon the evidence summarized to you during the pre-dismissal conference held with you on May 31, 2013, as well as your (lack of) response thereto,” states the June 4 letter,

Friday, June 7, 2013

also signed by Pittman and Gage. “The specific reasons for your dismissal are detrimental personal conduct as defined in the Polk County Personnel Manual, as well as current incidents of unacceptable personal conduct as defined in North Carolina Administrative Code OII.2304.” The June 4 letter also advised Halford of her rights to appeal the decision and attached a document with information on her appeal rights. Pittman said EMS employee Penny Evans is taking care of the department’s day-to-day operations and he intends to move quickly to advertise to fill the position. The county is also in the process of hiring a fire marshal/emergency management director after deciding earlier this year to split Halford’s duties. She was the EMS director, as well as the county’s fire marshal and emergency management director. Pittman said applications are being reviewed for the fire marshal/emergency management director and he would like to have someone in place to begin on July 1, when the new budget year begins. Halford worked with Polk County for almost 23 years. She started as a paramedic on July 1, 1990, was hired as the county’s emergency management director in 1999 and as the EMS/ emergency management director in 2004. Halford did not respond to a message for comment as of press time.

Doug Pearson was recently appointed interim District Attorney (DA) following former DA Jeff Hunt stepping down to accept a special superior court judgeship. Pearson said he believes in upholding the Constitution with a fair, balanced approach that treats everyone equally. “I really enjoy the opportunity to represent the state in cases in front of a jury,” he said. He’s benefited from a supportive family and the example set by his father, a veterinarian, and his mother, a school psychologist. They raised him and his brother with a strong work ethic, he said. “My wife, Sarah, has been the biggest factor in my life,” Pearson said. “She understands what I do and helps me balance work with family.” Pearson also benefits enormously from the excellence of his team members, he said. The district attorney’s office, District 29B, covers Henderson, Transylvania, and Polk counties. Pearson praised the Polk County staff, particularly assistant district attorneys Tripp Griffin and Rick Daniel. “I have a very diligent group of attorneys working with me, always available to law enforcement,” he said. “A lot of our assistant district attorneys think outside the box. They’re creative, with knowledge of how technology can better serve the public and better serve law enforcement.” Popular shows like CSI distort what it’s really like to do the work, he said. On those shows, cases get discovered and solved in a single hour, when the actual effort takes much more time. “A lot of times, jurors watch programs and expect us to have technology that may not exist in real life,” he said. “For most citizens sitting as a juror in a jury trial may be their only involvement with the criminal justice system. Sitting as a juror is a unique opportunity to see what

happens.” M o s t television programs show a single case as if it were the only thing Doug Pearson that the investigators and attorneys had to consider. In actual fact, many cases occur simultaneously. “We have to juggle and change gears,” Pearson said. “We want to make sure law enforcement has the tools they need to successfully do their jobs, and provide whatever assistance we can.” Some cases move quickly, but others go very slowly. Lab analysis, further tests, witness availability and new information such as DNA evidence can spring up. A witness list might grow or change, Pearson says. “In every case, a piece of the puzzle will be found, often drastically changing everything,” he said. “We need to be prepared for information that hasn’t been processed, and to have everything we need to present the best case. We don’t put a price on justice, though sometimes there are limitations. We have to balance the costs to better serve the public.” “We deal with people who are volatile, and often facing severe consequences,” he said. “It’s important to be mindful and careful. We just want to continue to serve to the best of our ability, to see that all defendants are treated equally, and to ensure that all victims are treated equally. We listen. We try to be consistent and very fair to everyone.” Pearson has handled many high profile cases, but the bulk of the work in the DA’s office might not make the front page. These situations, too, deserve top level attention, and matter deeply to the people involved in them, Pearson said. “We’ll take each case as it comes to us and do our best,” Pearson said.

Green Creek Hounds celebrates a memorable 2012-2013 season The 2012-2013 hunt season was a memorable one for the Green Creek Hounds. Polk County saw the return of the Red fox, so along with the greys and coyote there were very few blank days hunting. The icing on the cake was the spring show season. Green Creek Hounds competed in the Southern Hound Show in Monticello, Florida, the Carolina Hound show in Camden, South Carolina, and the Virginia Hound Show in Leesburg Virginia. Green Creek Banker and Bankrupt were undefeated in the Couples Class, unentered English Dog, winning at all three shows. Their littermate, Barbara was Champion English Bitch in Camden and Reserve Champion English Hound and Unentered Hound. She and her sister, Banner, also won ribbons in the Couples class, as did many of the Green Creek Hounds in both English and the Crossbred rings. Green Creek looks forward

RPM District Board of Health meeting June 11

• Special Cases (continued from page 16)

Molly is a sweet lovable joy and you can’t help but smile just being around her. I ran into Pete and Zelda Howell in the middle of the week and they handed me a beautiful card stating that Dr. Allen and I are angels that walk the earth. They helped with my Ernest some weeks back and met Dr. Allen at that time. I am truly touched and I know Keith will be too, especially when he gets the single malt Glenfettich they bought for him. Molly has been Upstate and back and had a successful operation. Julie Gordon made the trip to pick her up and was true to her word in helping with the fees. Dr. Allen once again did his magic for one of my kids and cut the fees nearly in half, I’m blessed to have him as a friend. On my second trip I brought along x-rays of Tia, a sweet young lab who has a collapsed trachea. Tia is from another great rescue,

Connie McNab at Charlie’s Angels. Tia’s case is pending and Molly will be in her new home in four to six weeks. I’m caught up on all my vet bills and I’ll catch up with Dogwood Farms when I visit Charlie Brown on Monday. When I get a bit overwhelmed I sometimes wonder “when will it

be enough?” With each new case the Good Lord sends me another angel. I have a part to play but it’s basically out of my hands. I offer prayers of gratitude for His divine help and His angels for where would my kids and I be without them? Thanks for listening.

2013 Border Showcase Classic IX The 2013 version of the BSC will be held at Gaffney High School on Friday, August 16 at 7 a.m. There will be two super intrastate match ups along with one very interesting SC instate contest. At 7a.m. the Polk County Wolverines will battle the Vikings of Spartanburg under new Head Coach Chris Miller. Miller has taken the reigns at Spartanburg after an incredible run with Byrnes and looks to bring that same type of excitement and success back to a much storied Spartanburg program. Bruce Ollis, founder of the The Border Showcase Classic brings his Wolverines to Gaffney having won 99 games during the past 10 seasons in Columbus. Erwin, one of two new entries this season will take on Byrnes at 8 a.m. Erwin has been on a very successful run as of late and is looking forward to the challenge provided by the always strong and nationally ranked Rebels. Erwin

Head Coach Mike Sexton comments that his players and fans are very excited to be able to have the opportunity to play a tradition rich and successful program like Byrnes. Additional excitement has been created as ultra-successful Head Coach Bobby Bentley returns to lead the Byrnes program. The evening will conclude with the 2012 defending Big 16 Champion Gaffney Indians lining up against another set of Wolverines from Woodruff. The final contest will begin at 9 a.m.Woodruff Coach Brian Lane brings his team to The BSC for the first time and will have his troops ready as these two perennial state title teams collide to finish up the evening. Each contest will consist of one entire half of play under game-like conditions. One of the more exciting aspects of the Border Showcase Classic is matching up teams that very rarely have a chance to play during the regular season. - article submitted

Simple television remotes designed for seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some easy-to-use television remote controls for seniors? I got my 74-year-old mother a new HDTV for her birthday, but the remote control is very confusing for her to operate. ~ Shopping Son Dear Shopping, It seems like most television remote controls today come with dozens of unnecessary buttons that make them very confusing to operate. Add in the fact that many people use two or three remotes to operate their home entertainment equipment (TV, cable box, VCR and DVD player, etc.) it compounds the problem even further. Fortunately, there are several universal TV remotes available today that are specifically designed for seniors and the technically challenged. These remote controls have bigger buttons and fewer options that make them much easier to see, program and operate. Simplified Remotes Two popular senior-friendly products to consider are the Flipper Remote and the Super Remote SR3. The Flipper works all major TVs including cable, satellite and digital TV receiver boxes with only one remote. Available for $25 at flipperremote.com, it offers a tapered design that makes it easy to hold, and for simplicity it has only six large color-coded buttons that are exposed (On/Off, Channel Up and

Savvy Senior Down, Volume Up and Down, and Mute.) All others buttons are accessed by sliding the top panel down, so they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in the way during day-to-day TV watching. Flipper also has an optional feature that lets you program up to 30 of your momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite channels for easy access. The Super Remote SR3 from Universal Remote Control, Inc.

‘Salamanders of western North Carolina’ program June 8 The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and Walnut Creek Preserve (WCP) invite the public to attend “Salamanders of Western North Carolina” on Saturday, June 8, at 10:30 a.m. at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve. The program will be jointly presented by naturalist, Tim Lee and citizen-scientist, Alan Cameron. This will be a great program for adults and children alike, and there is no charge for the event. North Carolina is home to 66 (known) species of salamander, more than any other place on earth. The presentation will highlight North Carolinas salamander diversity, highlighting many of the species found in the area and then center on the Green Salamander (Aneides aeneus), federally listed as a species of special concern and the only North Carolina salamander listed by the state as rare and endangered. The Green Salamander has been found in many of the counties surrounding Polk County, in western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina. Historically, there was a known population of Green Salamanders in Polk County, but the habitat where this population was found has been destroyed and there are now no known locations of this species presence in Polk. Polk County should have appropriate habitat to support the species, and the public is asked to contact PAC at the number or e-mail below if they think that they might have, or know where there might be, habitat that may be suitable for the Green Salamander. Tim Lee has studied and taught as a naturalist and biologist throughout the southeast for more than 20 years. For the past 13 years he has been the Interpretive Ranger/Naturalist for South Carolina State Park Service’s Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area where he conducts research and provides educational programs for children and adults. Alan Cameron is retired and has been volunteering with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission

for eight years. He has worked on several threatened or endangered animal species, but his specialty has been the Green Salamander. Alan has found hundreds of new sites for this salamander and has greatly increased the known range of the species. Both Lee and Cameron plan to bring live specimens for participants to view up close. Please note, Walnut Creek Preserve is privately owned and visitation is by invitation only. To get to Walnut Creek Preserve’s Nature Center from the Tryon and Columbus area, take Hwy 108 E and turn left on Hwy 9 toward Lake Lure. Follow Hwy 9 N for 5 miles and turn right onto McGuinn Road (at the Exxon Station). Go 1 mile to the intersection with Big Level Road; turn left, go 2/10ths of a mile and take the first right onto Aden Green Road. Follow Aden Green for 4/10ths of a mile and turn left on Herbarium Lane and into Walnut Creek Preserve. Take the first left onto Conservatory lane, which takes you to the parking area for the nature center. For more information or directions from another location,

contact the Pacolet Area Conservancy at 828-859-5060 or e-mail landprotection@pacolet.org. PAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to Protect and Conserve the area’s natural resources (PACs mission). PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agreements) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain significant federal, state, and local tax benefits. PACs vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural resources and or goal is to provide a legacy that will endure and be valued by generations to come. PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conservation and provide education programs emphasizing native species appreciation and responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love. - article submitted by Pam Torlina

Foothills Humane Society benefits from ‘Dog On It’ art show Local Artist Susie Welsh is well known for her unique dog creations of all sizes and themes. Earlier this year Ms. Welsh approached Kathleen Carson, owner of Kathleen’s Gallery in Saluda. Her idea was to have Kathleen’s Gallery host a two day event where many of the dog creations could be showcased. A portion of the proceeds from sculpture sales would benefit Foothills Humane Society. With a great deal of planning and promotion, the event was held in late April. It was successful, well attended and many sculptures found new homes. Selena Coffey, Executive Director of Foothills Humane Society, recently visited Kathleen’s Gallery in Saluda to personally acknowledge Carson and Welsh for their work and generosity.

Letter to the Editor

Hooray the pool is open To the editor: Saturday, June 1 my family was lucky enough to attend the summer season open house at the Polk County pool. I would like to thank the pool staff and Polk County Recreation department for doing such a wonderful job providing a safe, fun environment for my kids. Our girls first started swimming lessons at the pool when they were five. I have watched them gain self confidence over the years as they improved their skills and developed a genuine love for

swimming. We are very lucky to have this in Polk county. I encourage everyone to visit if they haven’t already. I consider the pool to be a genuine asset for our county. One that I hope we can continue to support for many years to come. The rumor mill tells me that the county may be considering eliminating the pool How horrible that would be. I am very happy to pay taxes to support the pool, even in these tight financial times. Lets spend our money wisely, keep those assets which benefit many and eliminate those that only benefit a few. I believe the latter is easy enough to find. - Cathy Hoosier

• FHS ‘Dog On It’

There are still a variety of sculptures on display at Kathleen’s Gallery. The public is invited to stop by and view the dogs featured in a variety of human settings, such as riding a horse, having a tea party and driving a car. Pictures of the sculptures can be seen on Facebook/Susie Welsh. For more information, contact Susie Welsh at 828-7493900 or email atsswelsh@tds. net. - article submitted by Joyce L. Cox

Welsh presented a check to Foothills Humane Society. Welsh said, “I am delighted to make a contribution to FHS, especially in light of four Polk County Commissioners declining the modest request from Foothills for an incremental increase in their contract with the county. FHS does a tremendous job of finding forever homes for animals; they are a great asset to the community.”

Community Foundation champions education Since 1975, the Polk County Community Foundation has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for all in the community. Many donors to the Foundation have chosen to focus their philanthropy on education, through scholarships to deserving local students with dreams of college success, grants to educators that take their teaching to the next level and through unrestricted gifts that allow the foundation to

enhance educational opportunities in the community. In 2013, donors made it possible for the Community Foundation to award over $188,000 in scholarships to local students. Among the more than 50 Polk County and Landrum students receiving scholarship awards this year is Timothy, “Tij,” Doyen, a senior at Thomas Jefferson (Continued on page 38)

The Bain-Franklin Scholarship was established by the late Philip Franklin, a Tryon resident famous for singing opera at the post office to the delight of patrons lucky enough to catch a performance. It was Franklin’s hope that students with the talent to study at the prestigious University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) in Winston-Salem would have

the opportunity to fulfill their dreams with the help of a generous renewable scholarship. Anyone who has seen Doyen on stage knows that he dreams to make it big. The Foundation is honored to keep its promise to Philip Franklin in awarding Tij the 2013 Bain-Franklin scholarship to attend UNCSA in the fall. Summer will bring local students some exciting opportunities made possible by donors to the Community Foundation and by initiatives created by the board with unrestricted gifts.

gifted middle and high school students have received merit awards from a new scholarship program that will send them to summer studies with Duke University’s Talent Identification Program (TIP). The scholarships of at least $3,600 cover the full program fees for students to attend three-week camps held on college campuses where they will take advanced level courses in everything from robotics to marine biology and live with talented peers from across the country. The Polk County Community Foundation Board launched the pilot program earlier this year and worked with Duke TIP and our local schools to coordinate the application and award process. Polk County High School student Halle Kuettel will leave

for Switzerland this summer, studying abroad for a full year at a Swiss public high school while living with a host family. An $8,000 merit scholarship from AFS endowment funds at the Community Foundation helped her on her way. Students are encouraged to apply to study abroad through the local AFS Polk County chapter. Eight local organizations have received Student Intern Program grants to hire high school students during their summer vacations. The organizations are listed on the Foundation’s website, www.polkccf.org. Earlier this year, the Community Foundation fulfilled another donor’s wish to support high quality teaching through its Priscilla and Ellis D. Slater Excellence in Teaching Awards. Sarah Schladenhauffen from Polk Central Elementary School, Rachel Hall from Polk County High School, Rebecca Hockenberry from O.P. Earle Elementary

and Laurin Baker from Landrum High School all received Slater awards to attend conferences, study abroad, and earn master’s degrees to enhance their teaching and benefit their students. A second cycle of Slater grants will be awarded in the fall, with an application deadline of Tuesday, August 27 by 1 p.m. Recent grant funding of O.P. Earle’s Kessler Cultural Evenings, Polk Central’s new playground, field trips for Sunny View students, Tryon Elementary’s visits to colleges, and the Polk County High School Farm demonstrate the Foundation’s commitment to excellence in education. In its last round of unrestricted grants, the foundation provided funding to expand a chess program at Polk Central and start one at Sunny View Elementary schools. A second cycle of 2013 unrestricted and Kessler grants will be awarded in the fall, with applications due Tuesday, June 18 by 1 p.m.
