employment offices. Gov. Allen has vowed to veto the General Assembly’s amendments. In other legislative business, Gov. Allen pledged to kill an abortion clinic-access bill that the House refused to weaken. During the floor debate in the House, Del. Clifton A. Woodrum, DRoanoke, pleaded with legislators to reject the governor’s amendments to this bill. There is a need, he argued, to be specific about access to abortion clinics and not to apply the legislation to all businesses. “There are no crises at K-mart,” Del. Woodrum stated. “This addresses a clear and present danger at health-care facilities.”
Ground Broken :
For Highland
High School By DEBORAH SHEPHERD Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of Highland School’s student council wielded the shovels during Highland’s ground-breaking ceremony on April 6. David Plank, headmaster, said, “This begins an important phase in the continuing development of Highland School.” According to William C. Gridley of Bowie Gridley Architects, the lower school facility will receive extensive renovations, as well as the addition of 12 classrooms, an art room and a music room. He said the master plan was drawn up last summer and detailed plans took shape in the fall. The ceremony was held in the soccer field behind the lower school. During his opening remarks, Plank expressed gratitude to the families of William A. Hazel and John “Til” Hazel, who donated 22 acres for Highland’s new high school. Plank introduced Dorothy Vernon Montgomery Rust, co-founder of the original Calvert School which became Highland in 1956. Miss Rust reminisced about picking four-leaf clovers on the hill upon which the school was built in 1928. Also present were members of Highland’s board of trustees, Tony McGraw of Scott Long Construction and Mark Riley with F&M Bank. Susan Lewis of Highland School said that site excavation will begin as soon as the school has been hooked onto the town sewer tap. This is necessary, she said, because the drainfield lies under the proposed lower school extension. As the lower school site is excavated, the site for the new high school will be cleared as well, said Ms. Lewis.
