Three Newberry County employees were recently recognized for their years of dedicated service to Newberry County, including one employee who was honored upon his retirement.
John “Rusty” Fulmer was recognized for 20 years of service with the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Lee Foster recognized Fulmer for the milestone and shared the following:
“Rusty is a long-time dedicated member of the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office. He has worked in various positions and currently is our senior shift sergeant. He is also coordinator of our Critical Emergency Response Team. Rusty is called upon by churches, businesses, and schools to teach response to active shooter training. In addition, he mentors our new hires and prepares them for their positions as deputies.
“Rusty is a lifelong resident of Prosperity in the Macedonia Community, where he still makes his home with his daughter, Summer, a student at Newberry College. He is a highly skilled, valued and dedicated employee of Newberry County.”
Crystal Waldrop was recognized for 25 years of service with the Newberry County Purchasing Department. Newberry County Administrator Ted Luckadoo reflected on Waldrop’s service:
“Crystal started with Newberry County in August 2001 in the Purchasing Department, under the county administrator. She has worked in that capacity since the beginning of her employment.
“She has performed many duties in addition to the County’s procurement needs, such as accounts payable, payroll, assisted with Newberry County Council meetings, along with other duties, as necessary. Crystal is also responsible for the County’s property and liability policies.
“Crystal is the person who handles issuing purchase orders to department heads, soliciting sealed bids or proposals, and oversees scheduling the County’s rental facilities. She is also the County’s risk manager, which includes filing insurance claims for vehicles and buildings, maintaining the insurance listing of County-owned property, vehicles, buildings and equipment. She is responsible for maintaining files for the titles to the County’s fleet and disposing of surplus items when necessary. As part of her risk duties, she also ensures vendors are adequately insured to conduct business on County property, maintains insurance certificates and assists with requirements for the annual workers’ compensation audit.
“Crystal is a graduate of Newberry College, and during her tenure at Newberry County, has earned her certification in procurement through the National Institute of Public Procurement and the Universal Public Procurement Certification Council. She attends annual and national conferences to retain the Certified Public Procurement Buyer certification. Crystal has been a member of the S.C. Association of Governmental Purchasing Officials since 2001, shortly after being hired by Newberry County.”
Doug Harmon (not pictured) was also recognized upon his recent retirement from Newberry County Public Works. Public Works Director Josh Rowe shared the following about Harmon’s contributions to the department:
“Doug was a very integral part of the Public Works staff as both an operator and driver. In addition to virtually all Public Works duties, he also handled the bulk of operations involved with the convenience sites, maintenance at the Newberry County Airport, and pretty much anything else that was asked of him. Some employees just find a way to get the job done, and Doug was certainly that type of employee.
“Although not quick to jump into the conversation and more of a listener, if you asked for his input or if he thought his knowledge could help, he was willing to enter the conversation. Doug provided a great example to other employees on not only job performance, but also how to carry yourself daily, and was always willing to help other employees in any way he could.
“His various roles required interaction with the citizens of the county at times, and he always displayed a professional and courteous attitude while trying to assist in any way he could. Doug left his mark on the department and set some high standards, so we hate to see him go. But he has earned the right to take this step into retirement, and we wish him the best moving forward.”
Please join us in congratulating Rusty Fulmer and Crystal Waldrop on their service milestones and Doug Harmon on his retirement. We thank each of them for their dedication, hard work and many years of service to Newberry County!
