Candidates debate turnover
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story is one of a series of stories about local and area candidates for elective office.
By LAURETTA SCHULTZ Staff Reporter
The two candidates for Dougault County treasurer disagree about what the employee turnover rate in that office signifies.
Nancy Welsh, the Republican candidate, said yesterday that the number of employees leaving the treasurer's office while Democrat Ruth Vervynk has been in charge of the company, who is running for her third term, said the rate was "not necessarily high and should be expected."
Welsh said, "There have been 60 employees who have either resigned or been fired in the seven years Vervynk has been in that office."
But Vervynek said Welsh was "blowing the issue out of proportion."
"SHE'S MAKING A mountain out of a mole hill." Verynck said. "The county does not pay great wages. There is no room for advancement in
these jobs. And I hire a lot of young girls who later move on to better jobs."
Welsh said Vervynck was making excuses.
"I don't believe that the only reason is that she hires a bunch of 18-year-olds who end up wanting better jobs." Welsh said "I think it's because of office management, lack of communication and a lack of training."
Vervynk, however, said she could answer Welsh's charges.
"She is making a big deal, for instance, out of the fact that 13
employees left the office in 1983." Vervynck said.
SHE SPECIFICALLY EXPLAINED why each of the 13 employees had left. The explanations ranged from the firing of one employee who had used foul language to the resignation of three others who moved out of Douglas County.
"Is that the kind of 'high turnover rate' she's talking about?" Vervynck said.
Verynck is a lifetime resident of Douglas County. She is married and has seven grown children. She worked in the real estate business for seven years before seeking the county treasurer's office in 1976.
Welsh is the front office manager at the Lawrence Holdome, 200 W Turnipmeal Access Road. Before taking that job, she was a ticket manager for the KU athletic department for seven years. And she worked as a clerk in the treasurer's office from 1966 to 1972. She is married and two sons.
Vervynek said she would like to continue doing the job she has done for the past seven years.
Register of deeds is 'secure' as an unopposed candidate

Sue Neustifter, Douglas County register of deeds, is confident of
into Tuesday's election — and with good reason.
Neustifer is the only unopposed candidate running for county of Oshkosh, which makes her feel
"incredibly lucky," she said yesterday.
"I am quite fortunate," she said. "It's nice to feel secure about the whole thing, and I I'm looking forward to getting every one else on election night."
Neustifter is seeking her fifth term
as register of deeds. She was first elected in 1972. Before that, she had worked 14 years in the office.
"I've been around here for more than 25 years," she said. "I've seen the office from all angles."
Register of deeds carries a four-
year term. Neufslist was elected
twice when the seat carried a
fourth round, and then won the
running for her third four-year term.
Campaigning hasn't been a principal concern for her this fall, she said.
"I've attended some forums to answer people's questions if they came up." Neumustter said. "For the first time I interrupted my life a great deal."
Neusutter said the duties of her office included recording and preserving the county's required books, records, deeds, mortgages and plats.
