According to the proclamation, healthy, fertile soil and clean water are the lifeblood of nutrition and sustenance throughout the world, and soil conservation benefits everyone. The proclamation also notes that effective conservation practices help ensure that soil, water, animals, plants, and air can provide a rich standard of living.

Newberry County Council had the honor recently to recognize three employees for their recent retirements from Newberry County Government.
Mr. Chris Alexander was first recognized by his supervisor, Public Works Director Josh Rowe.
Mr. Alexander has worked with the county for 28 years. He started out in the Solid Waste Department, later moving on to be a heavy equipment operator, acting as the senior operator.
Mr. Rowe said in addition to his work for the county, Mr. Alexander has volunteered in Whitmire for both their fire department and rescue squad.
“Chris has been very supportive to his hometown, but the county as a whole, and we appreciate him for that,” Mr. Rowe said.
Sheriff Lee Foster recognized the next retiree, Mr. Daniel Floyd, who has worked for the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office for 27 years.
Sheriff Foster said that Mr. Floyd may be the only person to serve in all three divisions of the NCSO: Communications, Law Enforcement, and Corrections. Mr. Floyd has been serving as captain of the Newberry County Detention Center, running the facility.
“After 27 years, Daniel has decided to retire and move into the private sector. He has worked hard, and we are proud he has served with us and is retiring from the NCSO,” Sheriff Foster said.
County Administrator Ted Luckadoo recognized the third retiree, Jeff Shacker (not pictured), the former county administrator.
Mr. Luckadoo said Mr. Shacker had 28 years of service in local government, beginning as the regional planner/GIS manager for the Upper Savannah COG, then coming to the City of Newberry, where he was in a variety of positions, including that of city manager. He then served as field service manager for the Municipal Association of S.C.
“Jeff was instrumental in my career as a town manager and provided me with technical assistance. His ability to lead an organization, know the laws, understand strategies, and manage projects is second to none,” Mr. Luckadoo said.
Mr. Shacker came to work for Newberry County as the administrator in 2023 before he decided to retire earlier this year.
Congratulations to our recent retirees!
