Newberry County Council recognizes employees for their service to the county – in five-year increments – during their monthly meetings.
At the October 16, 2024, meeting, Newberry County Council was honored to recognize four employees for their years of service to Newberry County!
Rebecca “Brooke” Gaffney (not pictured) was recognized for five years of service to Newberry County. Here is what County Administrator Jeff Shacker said of Brooke:
Brooke joined Newberry County Animal Care and Control back in 2019 and holds the position of animal control officer.
Leslie Glass, who is the operations manager for Newberry County Animal Control, along with Public Works Director Josh Rowe, have nothing but good things to say about Brooke and her work at the county. She is a go-getter and a very hard working and dedicated employee.
Newberry County's animal control officers are confronted with difficult and stressful situations in the field on a daily basis. Brooke navigates those circumstances so well. She is passionate about our animals and also about serving the public – which makes her a tremendous asset for the shelter and the county.
Next up was Mary “Rachael” Cleveland as she was recognized for 10 years of service to Newberry County. County Administrator Jeff Shacker had this to say of Rachel:
Rachael joined the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office back in 2014 – beginning her career as a telecommunicator in the 911 Center. Clearly, Rachael is on the four-year plan because in 2018 she was promoted to shift leader, and then, in 2022 she was promoted to her current position as communications supervisor.
Serving and protecting the public is a family endeavor with the Clevelands. Rachael has been doing that in 911 and her husband, Christopher, has been doing that at the Newberry County Detention Center – where is serves as sergeant. We appreciate them both!
William “Michael” Claytor was next to be recognized with 15 years of service to Newberry County. Here is what County Administrator Jeff Shacker had to say of Michael:
Michael joined the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office back in October of 2009 as a patrol deputy. In September 2014, he was promoted to night shift sergeant and then 2.5 years later to lieutenant. After supervising the night shift for three years, Michael transferred to Investigations in 2020.
Michael serves on the Dog Team and on the Newberry County Critical Incident Response Team.
He is also a volunteer firefighter with the Whitmire Fire Dept.
In 2021, Michael (along with two colleagues) was awarded the Medal of Valor by the S.C. Sheriffs Association for his courage and decisiveness in a life-threatening situation.
The last recognition was Elizabeth “Beth” Folk, who was recognized for 45 years with Newberry County. This is what County Administrator Jeff Shacker said of the Clerk to Court:
Beth came to work in the Clerk of Court’s Office in October 1977.
Before her election as Clerk of Court in November 2016, Beth worked in every area of the office – including real estate, common pleas, general sessions, and family court.
She became deputy clerk in 1989 for Mrs. Jackie Bowers and then succeeded Mrs. Bowers in 2017, when she retired.
Ms. Folk has served as Clerk of Court for the past eight-years. She is always willing to assist her employees and the public. She is dedicated to the office and to her family. She has been married for over 50 years, has two daughters and three grandchildren.
Thank you to all of our employees for their years of service!
