Bob Crumley noted that in 1982, Randolph County's Forestry Office was last in an overall rating of our ten -county region; in 1983, Randolph County moved to first place. This improvement, according to Mr. Crumley, is due in large part to Steve Pearce, our new forester. Bob Crumley informed the Board that nurses statewide have been reclassi- fied downward. In our Home Health Program, we have lost three nurses in the last month because of this reclassification. The State is taking another look at this reclassification and will decide within the next month whether to uphold that decision or to rescind it.
