Commissioners approve new policy on training, pay for Polk sheriff’s officersby Leah Justice
Polk commissioners approved a new policy on Monday, July 11 offering raises to some sheriff’s officers who complete Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET).
The controversial policy was approved by a 3-2 vote, with commissioners Ray Gasperson, Renée McDermott and Cindy
Walker voting in favor of it and commissioners Ted Owens and Tom Pack voting against it.
The issue began earlier this year when Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill requested commis-sioners to include raises for the detention officers, a secretary and an animal control officer in the budget for this fiscal year, which
began July 1. Gasperson, McDermott and
Walker said they could not give raises to some employees and not others and approved a budget with no salary increases.
Commissioners Owens and Pack said the county’s pay system

Owens and Pack argued the take-home pay increase would be closer to $2,000 per year. They also said it will be almost
impossible for detention officers, who work 12-hour shifts, to com-plete the training, which requires four hours per night, plus some Saturdays.

The training, if done part-time, takes approximately eight months to complete.
“The difficulty is for three years we haven’t given any money to anybody,” Walker said. “How do I tell the other

Police arrest forgery suspect at Tryon Pharmacyby Leah Justice
The Tryon Police Depart-ment captured a man suspected of trying to receive prescription medication by fraud.
Tryon Police Chief Jeff Ar-rowood said his department was dispatched to the Tryon Pharmacy last Wednesday, July 13. He said the caller advised the suspect was still on the premises.
After a brief foot chase, Try-on officers arrested Bobby Joe West, 55, of Rock Hill Church Rd., Inman, S.C., according to Arrowood.
West was charged with at-tempting to obtain a schedule II controlled substance by forgery, according to police records.
Arrowood said when officers arrived at the pharmacy, a white male was seen exiting the busi-ness and began to walk away.
West was taken to the Polk County Jail and received a $5,000 secured bond.
cause an uproar when he asked for the raises, he was simply standing up for his employees, whom he thinks deserves more.
According to Hill, three years ago, under the former sheriff, (Chris Abril) commissioners unanimously approved raises for a group of officers in the middle of a year. Giving those raises made some officers underpaid, Hill said.
Owens and Pack were on the board that approved Abril’s requested increases, along with former commissioners Harry Denton, Tommy Melton and Warren Watson.
Pack said last week that part of his problem with the BLET policy is that if detention of-ficers receive BLET training, they would be paid the same as deputies, but would have more training than deputies. For their jobs, detention officers are also required to take 160 hours of training per year. Pack asked if commissioners are now going to require deputies to receive the detention officer training.
Hill said he appreciates all commissioners trying to help
out, but said the process has been aggravating. He said it has put departments against each other.
Hill also said he doesn’t think the sheriff ’s office secretary needs BLET certification since she performs the same duties as a dispatcher.
“Are you going to ask all the secretaries at the schools to be a certified teacher [so they can be] a secretary?” Hill asked.
Hill’s original salary increase request would have cost the county $22,944, including FICA and retirement increases for eight detention officers, one secretary and the animal control officer.
If all 10 employees were to receive BLET training, which is not likely, the cost to the county under the new policy would be $75,694, including FICA and retirement benefits.
Commissioners who approved the policy said they want the county to work with the sheriff to cover shifts for any employee who is getting the training. The county already has a policy to give its employees $1,000 per year for education. BLET tuition is free for persons sponsored by a sheriff, but that doesn’t include costs of books or other materials.

Landrum budget proposes spending less, giving raisesby Samantha Hurst
Landrum City Administrator Steve Wolochowicz presented a $1,582,755 budget proposal to council July 12 containing the potential for employee raises as high as five percent.
Wolochowicz stated in his memorandum that Landrum could anticipate several increases in proposed revenues. He is also optimistic after the town ended last year with a surplus.
In the initial budget proposal, Landrum anticipates an increase of $40,000 in current taxes, $11,000 from the Homestead Tax Reimbursement, $5,000 in business licenses, $12,000 in garbage fees and $15,000 from a Polk County Community Founda-tion reimbursement.
The city expects to lose $20,000 in hospitality tax dol-lars – bringing expected revenue in that area down from $120,000 to $100,000.
The fire department anticipates an increase in its revenues from $201,201 to $205,701, or an in-crease of $4,500.
The town’s millage rate will remain at 73.9.
Despite the expectance of higher revenues, Wolochowicz said this proposed budget actually spends less than the budget for
fiscal year 2011. Capital project expenses, for
example, are budgeted at only $25,000. Last year, this line item was budgeted at $50,000, but none of those funds had been spent as of May 31.
The city will also spend $5,000 less on insurance expense risk and $4,420 less in administrative contributions and bonuses.
The city plans to spend $50,000, or half, of the hospital-ity tax fund.
All considered, Landrum would spend $32,130 less than last year under the proposed budget.
Another recommendation made by Wolochowicz would be to change a temporary grounds maintenance position to full-time.
“We currently have a very motivated employee in that posi-tion and I would like to ensure that this individual stays with out organization,” Wolochowicz said. “The quality and quantity of work accomplished by the streets and sanitation department is at an all-time high and I would like to ensure that it stays that way.”
The council will again discuss the budget Aug. 9 and conduct its second reading/public hearing Sept. 13. Landrum’s fiscal year runs from October 1 to Sept. 31 each year.

Lunsford Farm Produce Market opens in LynnLunsford Farm Produce Market opened recently at Tryon Mountain Hardware. The owners are three farmers who work about 100 acres in Polk County and more in Henderson County. They offer many types of produce, hay and all-natural beef and pork. Meg Lunsford, one of the owners, said, “We are always looking for other farmers who would like to sell their produce that we don’t grow or that we’ve run out of.”
The owners said they have taken the Mountain BizWorks business class at the old Mill Spring school and have worked with Lynn Sprague, Polk County’s agricultural development director.
For more information, call 828-551-9330, email [email protected] or check www.lunsfordfarms.net.
