“Yancey County is getting a
complete health care - com
plex,” he stated. “One wing,
the one which we plan to open
on October 1, will be a 24-bed
hospital; the other wing will
house the 26 extended care
beds and will not open until a
later date. In addition, the
Emergency Room, lab and
X-ray departments will open
in conjunction with the
hospital.”
So the name change from
Burnsville Extended Care
Facility to Burnsville Health

significant than it might
appear. What it means is that
Yancey County will continue
to have a hospital to serve the
needs of its people. Truly a
case for rejoicing.

BY BERTIE VANDELL
Last Thursday started out
foggy with the threat of rain.
Only eight ladies took a
chance on the weather, and
soon after they started to golf
it turned into a beautiful day.
The ladies decided to make
the event of the day Captain’s
Choice because everyone en
joyed the last one held last
month. The Captain chose to
call her team “The Swingers”
and they swung right into first
place. Winners were: Captain
Rose Marie Altemus, BEtty
Lou Young, Marla Hoover,
and Betty Bacon. I know you
all had a good time. Missed
being out there with you.
Last Tuesday, August 16,
the luncheon was held at the
home of Doris Edge to honor
and present the Champion
ship Trophy to Karen Daw
son. She also received a nice
putter from Pro William Deck.
After a very delicious lunch,
served on the patio, decorated
so nicely in yellows and
whites, Karen Dawson read
her thank you and farewell
letter. Karen is such a sweet
gal, very sincere. The kind it
takes to be a good champ...we
will miss her.
Attending the luncheon
were Hariett Weiss, Jean
Ellis, Betty Lou Young, Nelle
Hoover, Jewel Mclntosh,
Marla Hoover, Rose Marie
Altemus, Mildred Roberts,
Pat Carter and Bertie Van
Dell. We all want to thank
Doris and her dear helper
Jean Ellis for a very delightful
day. I am sure none of us shall
ever forget those tender
moments, and what it meant
to Karen!
« .
Don’t forget August 25,
our League Banquet which
will be held at The Chalet.
Friendship time starts at 6
p.m. until 7:30 p.m. followed
by dinner and presentations
and awards. See you there!
