The Boy Scouts of America decided yesterday that it won’t be bringing its national jamboree to Rockbridge County and is turning its attention instead to a possible site in West Virginia. Jack Furst, a national Boy Scout chairman, said the Goshen site was “spectacularly beautiful,“ but “it came down to land use and economics. It just won’t work.“

Virginia State Police have identified two of the four people killed in the July 5 crash of a single-engine airplane in Rockbridge County. Stepan Matkovski, 23, of Safety Harbor, Fla., and Ginny Brown Gajewski, 37, of Riverview, Fla., have been identified by the state medical examiner’s office, state police Sgt. R.J. Carpentieri said. Relatives have identified the other two victims as Daniel Dorsch, 56, of Tampa, Fla., the former CEO of the Checkers Drive-In Restaurants chain and his wife, Cynthia Dorsch, 55. Gajewski was Daniel Dorsch’s marketing and public-relations director.

Tampa, Fla., businessman Daniel Dorsch asked Washington air traffic control for help in the direction of flight just before his Pilatus PC-12 plane crashed Sunday morning in Rockbridge County. The crash killed Dorsch, his wife, Cynthia, and two others. National Transportation Safety Board investigator Tim Monville said the pilot, believed to be Dorsch, radioed Washington about 9:55 a.m. to ask the air controller about adverse weather.

The National Transportation Safety Board said yesterday that it is likely at least four people died on the single-engine plane that crashed Sunday on a farm just inside the Rockbridge County line. The family of prominent Lakeland-Tampa, Fla., businessman Daniel Dorsch said in a statement yesterday that two of the people on the Pilatus PC-12 plane were Dorsch and his wife, Cyndie.

A Florida business executive and his wife died in a small plane crash in Rockbridge County, family members confirmed today.

The Boy Scouts of America’s plan to move its national jamboree to Rockbridge County would require an initial capital investment of $100 million to $250 million. The figure is included in a consultant’s plans for moving the jamboree from Fort A.P. Hill to Goshen that The Roanoke Times obtained under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.

A group has been formed to oppose plans for a national Boy Scouts center in Rockbridge County. The Scouts recently announced plans to build the center at the Goshen Scout Reservation and bring their national jamboree there starting in 2013. They say the project would boost the economy by creating 80 permanent jobs and bringing thousands of people to the area for the jamboree, which is held every four years.

Louise Hope Pitt Miller, a camp director, photographer and retired teacher, was selfless to the last moments of her life, said her husband, Kenneth Cameron Miller III. Many people close to her did not know about her 15-year battle with cancer, he said. It wasn’t something she would talk about and burden people with, he said. “It’s amazing to me how many people had no idea that she had been sick,“ he said. “She was unselfish until the end.“
