DEAF EARS LEFT LITTLE ELSE BUT GOING PUBLIC
I FEEL compelled to respond to the Dec. 13 letter by Robert A. Webb, president of the Roanoke Valley Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, since I'm the disgruntled ex-employee.
He appeared to dispute himself throughout. Was I "let go"? Or did I resign? Were my allegations and evidence imagined?
I'm sure my taped session, in which the administrator admits problems, was also a figment of my imagination. And yes, I was counseled and advised by the president and shelter committee chairman. They wanted me to ignore all. Work closely with other staff members. Allow this administrator to act as she wishes.
As former assistant administrator of this shelter, I became fed up with festering conditions. Rhonda Armsworthy, humane investigator, and I resigned. Disgruntled we were in a system of deaf ears, left little choice but to go public.
Again and again I've begged the administrator to attend a polygraph test with me. She refuses. I've asked for an open public debate just between her and me. She refuses. Her attitude toward these issues appalls me. TED ARMSWORTHY BOONES MILL
