Col. Frisbee, until recently a resident of Front Royal, was the first chairman of the History Department at the Air Force Academy and, after retirement, the editor of Air Force Magazine. His deceased wife, Lucy Post Putnam Frisbee, was an author of children's and travel books and the R-MA collection includes her works. She currently consults with school and home-schooling families around the country on math, science, literature and history. This will be a highly interactive, fun evening. The lecture is being presented by Hearthstone Whole Family Learning Center of Castleton.
Admission is free, with donations accepted.
New program targets school emergencies Imagine that you are at work when you receive a call telling you that your child has fallen and had a seizure at school. Then you learn that school officials are waiting for your instructions on what to do next. While many schools are equipped to handle the situation quickly and appropriately, a review of child safety issues in Virginia has revealed that in some cases, teachers may be required to locate the principal or even contact the parents at work before dialing 911. The grant will create a state-wide Emergency Medical Services for Children Program designed to improve care for critically ill or injured children throughout the state. Some people don't realize that the laws in Virginia allow a lot of variability through the state in terms of resources, services, and quality of care.
