EMS director says her firing was a campaign promise

by Leah Justice

Former Polk County EMS Director Sandra Halford told the Bulletin this week that her firing was a campaign promise made by the new board of commissioners.

Halford was fired last week with the county sending her two certified letters,

one on June 4 and another more detailed letter on June 5. The second letter gave Halford specific reasons for her termination, including sexual harassment, lying to public officials and creating or causing a hostile or abusive work environment (Continued on page 4)

• Goats

(continued from page 1)

A trailer pulled up to property across from Tryon’s IGA grocery store Wednesday, June 12 and released a load of goats to munch to pulp the kudzu and other invasive plants covering the ground and trees.

The effort is being made by the Pacolet Area Conservancy in conjunction with the Town of Tryon and the Polk County Extension Office to eradicate kudzu. The Polk County Community Foundation is funding the project through a grant from its Kudzu Eradication Initiative.

Goats from Ron and Cheryl Searcy brought the goats from Wells Farm of Horseshoe, N.C. The goats will work to eat the kudzu at the site for three weeks and will come back twice a year for three years.

According to the Pacolet Area Conservancy, kudzu can grow up to one foot per day and “creates a solid blanket of leaves and vines

that smother out and compete with our native species.”

A flier provided by PAC said goats are used for several key reasons: they are versatile, are cost effective, are environmentally safe,

create less noise than machinery and do a good job at eradicating the weed.

Kudzu was classified as a weed in 1972 after being introduced in the 1920s and 30s as fodder for

animals and erosion control.

A Great Pyrenees named Reba stays with the goats, which range from 1 to 8-years-old. Reba protects the goats from random coyotes or other loose dogs, the Searcy’s said.

• Halford

(continued from page 1)

through means of verbal abuse, intimidation and retaliation, according to the June 5 letter sent to Halford and signed by interim county manager Marche Pittman and commissioner chair Michael Gage.

But Halford said the allegations are not true and she has turned information over to her attorney, Phillip Roth out of Asheville.

“The allegations are not true,” Halford said. “I was a campaign promise and here it is. It’s unbelievable, it really is.”

When asked for comment, Pittman issued a statement yesterday, June 12 saying that the county cannot comment on a personnel issue.

“It is our policy not to comment on personnel matters other than that which is releasable in the form of public records,” Pittman said, “in this case the documents that you requested speak for themselves.”

The letter specifically gave three reasons for Halford’s termination, including sexual harassment in violation of Title VII, Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (both quid pro quo and sexual favoritism); impeding the course of an official investigation by lying to public officials, and creating or causing a hostile or abusive work environment through means of verbal abuse, intimidation and retaliation.

Halford’s firing was the first such firing in which the Bulletin had been given specific reasons for a termination regarding a government employee. County attorney Jana Berg said the information was given because of a state law regarding personnel records changing over two years ago.

Berg said as of Oct. 1, 2010 the public now has access to more information regarding employees than it did previously.

Because Halford was considered a career state employee, as well as a county employee, Berg said the following statute, General

Statute 2010-169 Sections 18 (a) and 18 (e) regarding state and county employees applied.

“Certain records to be kept by State (18e – County) agencies open to inspection. (a) Each department, agency, institution, commission and bureau of the State shall maintain a record of each of its employees, showing the following information with respect to each such employee: (1) Name; (2) Age; (3) Date of original employment or appointment to State service; (4) The terms of any contract by which the employee is employed whether written or oral, past and current, to the extent that the agency has the written contract or a record of the oral contract in its possession; (5) Current position; (6) Title; (7) Current salary; (8) Date and amount of each increase or decrease in salary with that department, agency, institution, commission, or bureau; (9) Date and type of most recent each promotion, demotion, transfer, suspension, separation, or other change in position, classification with that department, agency, institution, commission, or bureau; (10) Date and general description of the reasons for each promotion with that department, agency, institution, commission, or bureau; (11) Date and type of each dismissal, suspension, or demotion for disciplinary reasons taken by the department, agency, institution, commission, or bureau. If the disciplinary action was a dismissal, a copy of the written notice of the final decision of the head of the department setting forth the specific acts or omissions that are the basis of the dismissal.”

The Bulletin has contacted the NC School of Government for further explanation of the statutes.

Halford worked with Polk County for almost 23 years. She started as a paramedic in 1990, was hired as the county’s emergency management director in 1999 and as the EMS/emergency management director in 2004.

She was placed on paid administrative leave on May 8.

Canning and preserving made easy class June 17 Preserving food cannot be considered new and trendy, but the recent revival fits the modern renaissance of handcrafted food, heirloom agriculture and using foods in its season. Like baking bread or making a slowcooked tomato sauce, preserving offers primal satisfactions and practical results.

Stacks of locally grown,

peak-ripe produce are about to appear at farmers markets, roadside stands and backyards all over the county. This is the window of opportunity to preserve all of nature’s bounty.

“The thoughts of home canning whether you are a pro or a novice, can be overwhelming,” said Jimmi Buell with the Polk County Cooperative Extension

Center, “but with the help of the Extension Office, we can make the process manageable.”

The extension office is offering a Canning and Preserving Made Easy workshop, an overview of canning fruits and vegetables, that will be held at the Polk County Extension Center on Monday, June 17.

This two-hour workshop will be

at 2 p.m. and another at 6 p.m.

Both classes cover the same materials.

Call the Polk County Center of NC Cooperative Extension Service at 828-894-8218 to reserve your space for these workshops or if you have any questions.

decades ago, John muir wrote: “thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home.” many of us living in the tryon area would agree. mountains are one of the amazing features of our community. Look out from almost anywhere, and you are likely to see a mountain. in fact, the very first thing that i noticed about tryon when i arrived almost four years ago was the peak of tryon mountain. Long a landmark in our community, its 3,200-ft. peak is unmistakable. Whether walking, hiking or driving on i-26, somehow seeing that mountain is comforting. i’ve always had

a thing for mountains. i grew up in the shadow of mount LeConte. i’ve hiked many of the mountains in this part of the appalachians. and there’s nothing like standing on the peak of a mountain.

John Calvin saw the world of nature as God’s “theater” where God’s glory is always on display. nature teaches us, and for me mountains play a major role in that drama. throughout history, mountains have symbolized stability. they aren’t going anywhere fast. mountains often provide a sheer perspective. on a clear day from the top of a mountain, you can almost see forever. mountains (continued on page 9)

Isothermal Community College needs to be a leader in economic recovery As the new state leadership looks for ways to close budget gaps, an easy target is higher education — especially community colleges. We can all understand with the need to rein in deficits, but cutting deeply in this category is setting themselves up for even worse budget crises down the road. Education is the key to economic recovery, and healthy community colleges are a crucial part of this formula.

One of the many challenges our area faces is shifting from an economy based primarily on textile manufacturing to one that consists of diverse sectors, including the agriculture, (healthcare) clean energy, recreation and cutting-edge technology.

With this in mind, where can people get the training they need to enter these and other growing sectors? Almost across the board, the answer for the traditional student, the laid-off worker, the em-

ployee who needs more training for North Carolina’s public uniis the same: community college versities and community colleges and more specifically, Isothermal and he enjoyed a pro-business reputation in Raleigh.

Community College.

Most recently, he lost the Isothermal has several things going for it. For one, it has a pro- North Carolina gubernatorial bid, gressive attitude that says, “help after spending a successful four us identify opportunities down the years in the No. 2 spot.

here in heritage crafts; and an equine studies program to fill the growing need for trained personnel on farms and facilities; a vet assistant program; and an outdoor recreation management program.

All of this is strategic economic development thinking.

Good programs, ones that attain national recognition as the best among the best, will draw students here from other places. It will set Isothermal apart from other community colleges in offering a menu of curriculum and program offerings that are not offered everywhere else.

It is vital that our county invest in our community college. It appears we are moving out of the recession into an era of economic uncertainty. Community colleges have already proven to be important players on the road to recovery, and there’s little reason to doubt that they cannot be the catalyst to better days.
