Writer responds to Gallimore accusations
My name is Amy Rhoden and I am a former shelter manager of the Highland County Humane Society. On Jan. 22, 2021, a letter to the editor was printed in The Times-Gazette where Scott Gallimore proclaimed all of his good deeds that he has done for the local non-profits, one of which is the Highland County Humane Society.
As the former shelter manager, I am going to respond to those slanderous remarks made towards me personally by Mr. Gallimore.
One of the remarks made in the letter was, and I quote, “Spent two days removing a broken bathroom sink and toilet and the rest of Amy Rhoden’s ‘yard sale’ trash out of the storage shed upon her departure. Spent 4 hours waiting for Rumpke to send a second garbage truck because of the amount of garbage.”
My name is Scott Gallimore. I’ve been a Hillsboro resident for 10 years. In addition to theHumane Society, I volunteer at the Habitat for Humanity Store, the Samaritan OutreachServices Food Pantry, the elementary school, and the Festival of the Bells. I also worked for theBoard of Elections during the last election.I’ve been volunteering at the Humane Society since 2015. I became a member of its Board ofDirectors three years later when there was no one else willing to do so and there weren’tenough Board members to hold meetings. I’ve spent a lot of time and money volunteering forthe shelter. Here are some of my contributions:• Jim and I purchased a wheelbarrow and paid for lawn mower repairs • purchased a stepladder • adjusted driveway gate hinges multiple times, eventually installing a new set of gatehinges • replaced driveway gate support wheel five times • cut weeds and tree limbs along driveand fence multiple times • help
