Newberry County Council recognizes employees for their service to the county – in five-year increments – during their monthly meetings.
During the November 20, 2024, meeting, four Newberry County employees were recognized for their years of service.
Kathleen Anderson, with Magistrate’s court, was recognized for five years with the county. Here is what County Administrator Jeff Shacker said of Kathleen:
“Kathleen joined Magistrate’s Court back in November of 2019 and holds the position of civil processing.
“Kathleen came to the county with prior experience working in property management. And she holds a special place in her heart for the elderly.
“Working in the court system is a challenge and Magistrate’s Court can be extremely busy, which makes Kathleen’s job stressful, and the functions within civil processing are important.”
Chris Connelly, an employee with Newberry County Public Works, received recognition for 10 years of service to the county. Here is what County Administrator Jeff Shacker had to say of Chris:
“Chris joined the Roads and Bridges Division within Public Works back in 2014 as a heavy equipment operator – a position he currently holds.
“Josh Rowe, Newberry County’s Public Works director, and Keith Suber, who heads the Roads and Bridges Division, have nothing but glowing things to say about Chris.
“I’ve heard the words “hardworking,” “reliable,” “skilled,” “experienced,” “conscientious” and the like. But the two that stand above others are “dependable” and “dedicated." Chris is someone the county can count on. He leads by example. He teaches his peers and is always willing to share. He will do whatever is required to get the job done.”
Katherine “Kat” Cook, the Human Resources director, was also recognized for 10 years of service. County Administrator Jeff Shacker had this to say of Katherine:
“Kat joined the County back in October of 2013 in the Newberry County Public Works Department in an administrative capacity where she was exposed to the diverse functions that fall under that department including the Newberry County Airport, the Newberry County Animal Shelter, Roads and Bridges, the Transfer Station, and our Solid Waste Collection System.
“The following year, she moved from Newberry County Public Works to Newberry County Administration where she worked under the county’s HR director. During that time, she developed an interest in human resource management and learned about the profession, the legal framework that applies, and the county’s policies and operating procedures. She was promoted in 2017 to her current position of HR director.
“Working with Kat, I can tell you that she really enjoys her job and that she especially likes helping county employees with their orientations, elections, and benefit enrollments, and they appreciate her assistance.”
Last but not least, Janeyatte Gary was recognized for 10 years with the Newberry County Detention Center. County Administrator Jeff Shacker said this of Janeyatte:
“Janeyatte is a lifelong resident who came to work for Newberry County back in November 2014 as a correctional officer at the Newberry County Detention Center.
“Over her career, she has primarily worked nights. And during that time, she went back to school to finish college, which is a major commitment that requires discipline and dedication.
“Janeyatte is a loyal officer who currently holds the position of night shift sergeant, and she runs B-Shift. Sheriff Lee Foster and Captain Daniel Floyd have nothing but good things to say about her.
“There are many challenges that come with a career in corrections, and supervising a shift at the detention center can be stressful. Doing that while going back to school is impressive.”
Congratulations to our employees for their service to Newberry County!
