unpopular among some nurses, and led to an effort to unionize.
A Carilion spokesperson says Cullum's resignation was voluntary, and she

Though it may only slow the progression of the disease, experts say it's

the wayside in recent years.
In 1991 Franklin County High School students were ahead of the game.
36 percent of them passed the state fitness test... which was better than
most schools across the Commonwealth.
But there's been a steady decline recently.
In 1995 only 16 percent of these students were successful... 10 percentage
points below the state average.
That's why more emphasis has been placed on this Health Fair.
