During March, Nightingale made 24 flights - I completing 22 and aborting two due to severe weather conditions and zero visibility. “We have learned a great ; deal during this initial < phase,’’ Holmes noted. “These experiences have helped fine tune our < procedures, thereby enabling us to respond more rapidly,” he explained. < Six requests have been cancelled because of heavy rain and dense fog. Two i calls were denied because i the patient was not 1 classified as critical and i could be transported by 1 ground ambulance. i The crew has worked with 1 several eastern Virginia and ’ northeastern North Carolina I hospitals and rescue squads, ' thus far.

To date, Southampton Memorial has requested Nightingale services five times. Nine other Virginia hospitals have participated in the service, including five local facilities and others as far away as Accomac (Eastern Shore), Rap pahanock, and the Medical College of Virginia in Rich mond. Six missions have flown to three North Carolina hospitals. The hospitals are located in Elizabeth City, Washington County, and Ahoskie. There have also been five accident - site missions - each unique in nature and each closely coordinated with ground ambulance agencies. During February, Nightingale made an early morning landing onto the Laskin Road exit of the Virginia Beach expressway 1 to receive an auto accident 1 victim. i Only days later, the < helicopter landed in a muddy field in rural ! Virginia Beach to assist in a ; patient transfer from a ground ambulance. The crew has also responded for [ a man who was tragpai under pilings at Willoughby Beach. The helicopter was ready for transport by the time the pilings had been removed. Last Thursday, Nightingale carried an 11 - year old boy who had been hit a car in the Ocean View area of Norfolk .to Children’s Hospital of King’s Daughters. On the morning of Friday, April 9, Nightingale received a request from the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad. A 14 - year old male had received severe head injuries from a two car automobile ac cident. The Virginia Beach Rescue Squad extracted the patient from the car, began medical treatment, and transported him to the Princess Anne Courthouse area for Nightingale pickup. After the patient was stabilized he was rushed to the Trauma Unit at Norfolk General Hospital where he remains in critical con dition. “The time the helicopter has saved in getting critical patients to an appropriate Iredell Descendants Continued From Page 2-A work in the architectural and building business, and of his Iredell connections in New Zealand, Australia, India and the United States. One of James Iredell’s direct descendants was present, Elizabeth Jones Elmore. Mrs. Denise Iredell apologized that she had not brought any vital papers concerning the family, but she had picked up the family tree, which she intends to complete in due time. The charming couple were delighted to see the original portraits of James and Hannah Iredell in the James Iredell house, saying that they were happy to see them back home. Those attending were: Mrs. Cornelia J. Privott, Mrs. Thomas H. Shepard, Mrs. Grover Bayles, Mrs. Mary B. Tucker, Mrs. George Hoskins, Mrs. Roland Vaughan, Jr., Mrs. Roger E.

THE CHOWAN HERALD iKility has been remarkable,” Bob Smith, the Director of Norfolk’s Emergency Com munications Center pointed out. One accident site response did not require the helicopter. Crew members ran from their helipad trailer to a nearby accident scene on Hampton | Boulevard. After rendering medical care, they called the rescue squad for tran sport. “Nightingale has the potential to reduce the morbidity and mortality rates in this area,” stated Donald Haupt, Director of Norfolk’s Paramedical , Rescue Serviced and j Coordinator of Nightingale ] Paramedics. “In addition, | we are pleased that each ] flight has been deemed < medically necessary and appropriate by the Review j Committee,” he continued. Although local and . regional medical personnel , have been pleased with ' Nightingale performance, Chief Flight Nurse Connie , Schneider agrees it will get better. “Input from regional j hospitals and rescue squads , has been invaluable in helping to streamline many Nightingale’s operational and response protocols,” she said. So far, approximately 63 per cent of the patients transported have been delibered to Norfolk General Hospital where Nightingale is based. Five of these ' patients have died after trauma treatments. Medical Center Hospitals, a non - profit health,care system which operates Norfolk General and Leigh Memorial Hospital, expects to break even financially during the second year when 40 flights per month are projected.

Activities Set For May Ray Day May Play Day, May 1, will offer a variety of activities for all ages. One of the highlights for children will be Evelyn Neptune from the Pettigrew Regional Library Children’s Services. There are few youngsters in the area who do not know Mrs. Neptune. Her monthly visits to schools and daycare centers in Chowan, Tyrrell, Washington and Perquimans County bring to children enchanting stories, puppet shows and films, carefully chosen to en courage and enrich the child’s appreciation for good literature. Having returned from New York to her native Plymouth, Evelyn enrolled at Beaufort Technological Institute and completed the requirements for an associate degree in library science. For the past eight years she hak been an outreach librarian for the Pettigrew Regional Library. During these eight years she has perfected the art of storytelling, experimenting with various styles and techniques, always learning from the reactions of her young audiences. Watching her perform, one is taken by her ability to captivate her audiences with a variety of facial expressions and the rich rhythmic patterns of her viQMi l.» - How does she account for her success as a storyteller? “You must first sell the story to yourself. You must choose stories that you like.” To prepare a story requires many readings. Evelyn says that when her children were young, she often shared stories with them to test their appeal. If she doesn’t feel comfortable with a story after several readings, she does not in -4-H Fashion Revue Held Continued From Page 7-A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Leary; and 3rd place, Jaki Pace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bembry. 12-13 years old, Ist place, Percy Nixon, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Nixon; 2nd place, Marleen Alexander, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Alexander; and 3rd t place, Laurie Bond, t daughter of Mrs. Laura Bond.

What happens when, after all the careful preparation, a story fails to appeal? She says there is nothing to do but drop the story im mediately and have something ready to take its place. One finds it hard to imagine Evelyn Neptune ever failing to captivate an audience. Her story telling and puppet show is one of many outstanding per formances that should not be missed during May Play Day, an arts festival sponsored by the Chowan Arts Council on May 1, at the Rocky Hock Community Center, Route 1, Edenton m * fH I | | * I I HIIf I | | I IHH P HHH Hi ' y’X’- I Hi HI ;;> v*-* H ft H M H ■ ft H M a I ||t| X X % " £ ft $ $? 1 ■' jnil II i I Edenton Aces Defeat St. Francis JAMESVILLE The Edenton Aces were outhit 4 - 1 against St. Francis High School of New York, but still managed to win 4 -2, Saturday in the opening round of the Jamesville Tournament.
