Marshall Victim Assistance Administrator Quivey h
By Stacey Creasy
PLYMOUTH � Marshall County Victim Assistance Administrator Cindy Qui-vey has been terminated.
The move, which was made by Marshall County Prosecutor Curt Palmer, has never been announced at a county meeting. The job opening has been advertised. Because the victim assistance department is under the prosecutor�s office, Palmer can make personnel changes without the approval of the Marshall County Commissioners.
�It was an internal personnel mat-
ter,� said Palmer. He did not want to comment further on the change.
Laura Mann, who has been with victim�s assistance for more than three years, is serving as the interim director.
Quivey�s final day on the job was Tuesday.
�All I know is I received an e-mail Tuesday telling me I am the interim director for now,� Mann stated.
Quivey said: �I cannot comment on any of this right now.�
Quivey spent five years as a dispatcher and matron at the Marshall County Police Department before going to victim�s assistance where she served as administrator for four years and four months. She recently ran for the sheriff�s office as a Democrat against Marshall County Sheriff Bob Ruff, but was defeated in the November election.
Mann said she is interested in the position. Prior to working for victim�s assistance, Mann also worked as a dispatcher/matron at the Marshall County Police Department.
If she is appointed Mann said she will continue to focus on education and awareness.
�Education is the key,� Mann added. �If we can teach people about domestic violence, they will understand and we can stop it.�
Palmer is taking resumes for the spot.
�I�ve received 30 resumes today,� Palmer stated. �I will take resumes until this weekend, go over them and hope to have somebody in place by the end of January.�
A number of department heads have been removed recently. In addition to Quivey, maintenance supervisor Mike Rooney and Emergency Management Agency Director Norm Long were not reappointed for 2003.
