Tamea Franco's face lights up when she talks about her spe- cialty, which she does at every op- portunity. The objets d'art that dangle from her earlobes, drape her neck, and adorn her lapel add even more sparkle to the gleam in her hazel eyes. Sometimes at conferences she hands out glistening metallic busi- ness cards, relishing the startled reactions they draw. The unusual topic that stokes her imagination-industrial-strength aluminum anodizing-is an obscure vocation to most people. But to Tamea (whose Samoan name, pronounced tuh-ME-uh, means either "princess," her preferred translation, or "wash- woman," for all she really knows), it's the most fascinating line of work. Anodizing is an electrochemical process that rearranges the molecular structure of aluminum surfaces, mak- ing them abrasion resistant and rust- proof. By submerging them in dyes, Tamea creates colorful components in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and shades. Artists bring another level of magic into play through what they fashion from the vibrant materials, from dainty earrings to bold wall hangings to sprawling mobiles. Along with a 12-person crew based in Roanoke, Virginia, Tamea has hap- pily carved out a niche in the world of metals and is attracting an expand- ing universe of creative users. From Watch Repair to Acid Baths One of five children raised in a fre- quently relocated military family, Tamea settled in Roanoke, her mother's hometown, while she was a teenager. She learned watch repair in New York after finishing high school, worked briefly at an uncle's jewelry store in nearby White Sulphur Springs, West W J 0 0 a mid-atlantic living-77 above: When Tamea Franco gets "wired," she does so in a rainbow of brilliant colors.

I said, `Oh my gosh, this is my calling.' That week totally changed my life." Tamea Franco Virginia, and then landed a job with a Roanoke jeweler. "I sat behind a workbench for almost 10 years, repairing watches and setting diamonds," she says. "I bought all the equipment I needed to work at home and also worked part time at a jewelry store outlet." What happened next, in the mid-1980s, was one of those un- predictable but completely life- changing experiences. "I heard about the Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts over in Gatlinburg, Tennessee," she says. "I'm always looking to expand my skills, and I'm mechanically inclined, so I signed up fora week- long metals class that sounded kind of interesting. One thing the instructor taught was anodizing aluminum. Right away I was fas- cinated. Isaid, `Oh my gosh, this is my calling.' That week totally changed my life."

Still, the urge to act on her new obsession was too strong to ignore. Soon she was using buckets of acid in her basement to experiment with anodizing and adding various colors to the process. She founded East West DyeCom expecting to sell dyes to others who would want to anodize aluminum. "I was so captivated that I be- lieved everybody would be into this," she says. "But it turns out there's a bigger market for fin- ishedmetals than for dyes. You see the stuff everywhere-as jewelry, canes, key chains, kids' scooters, climbers' carabiners." - z8-micl-atlantic living 1 ., She moved the operation from her home to a large building near the airport and went into produc- tion. Her crew consists almost ex- clusively of women. "Anodizing is primarily a man's industry," Tamea says. "It's dirty work that a lot of women wouldn't want to do. But I've found that, given a chance, women are extremely good at this. They're detail oriented, good com- municators, concerned that the col- ors come out right. No offense, but to most men, violet and purple are Please Don't Call It Rust "Basically, I'm selling colored oxi- dation," Tamea explains. "When you control and combine time, tem- perature, electrical current, and acid, you create a clear oxide layer on aluminum. With iron and steel, this is known as rust, which does dam- age to the surface. Anodizing does the opposite-it actually prevents natural oxidation and allows the metal to be dyed." Colors become deeply embedded in the metal, not simply applied to rhP n„tc;riP`That's what excites "I hope I Live to be a hundred and work until the day I die. That's how seriously I'm into aluminum." Tamea Franco me," she says. "Changing the mo- lecular structure, depositing dye that becomes part of the metal so it can't chip off the way paint does- it's just so amazing." Workers start out with gray alu- minum sheets, coils of wire, slender tubes, linked-bead chain, bolts, nuts, and all kinds of custom forms. The finished products have countless colors, patterns, and shapes. Regular buyers include artists from all over the country and as far away as Canada, Germany, and Australia. Some make earrings and brooches from cutout shapes and bent wire. Artists such as those at Stoner/Hatton Mobiles design sprawling works that can be seen in airport terminals and hospitals. Others incorporate tubes and wires into stylized "flower" arrangements, tapestries, or wall hangings. Tamea also anodizes pieces for less artistic purposes, such as hard- coat parts that are destined for mil- itary use or that must be able to withstand the harsh conditions in- side anuclear reactor. 20-mid-atlantic living mid-atlantic livin Working with electricity, acid, dyes, and aluminum, Tamea and her crew take pride in getting the details right. "With those orders, the buyers don't care about color; they just need it done to the proper specs and as soon as possible," she explains. For all its variety, however, Tamea's business is still a small niche in the overall aluminum market. A Goliath such as Alcoa needn't worry about losing mar- ket share to this little David. "I love my work. I hope I live to be a hundred and work until the day I die," Tamea declares, her broad smile pressing dimples into her cheeks. "That's how seriously I'm into aluminum."

The program, the Capital Improvement Incentive Fund (C.I.I.F.) was approved and implemented in FY 94-95. Since that time there have been 78 grants awarding a total of $462,237 to a variety of Rec Clubs, School P.T.A.'s and other community service agencies. The estimated value of improvements to public facilities is $1,323,509. This is a very competitive process. Each year the selection committee, made up of Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission members and staff, evaluate applications and select those projects that best meet the established criteria. The attached list outlines the numerous improvements made countywide since the start of the program. It is an awesome testimonial of the support Roanoke County citizens have for quality parks and recreation facilities.

Peter Lampman, President _ Virginia Amateur S orts Mr. Lampman reported that 9,500 athletes competed at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. He indicated that the number of participants decreased slightly due to the National Softball Association tournament which was also being held at that time. Over the past 13 years, in excess of 110,000 athletes have participated in the games. According to information received from the Roanoke Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau, the average expenditure per day was $150, resulting in an economic impact on the Roanoke Valley of $7.8 million. The competitors were 50% male and 50% female for the first time this year. Mr. Lampman conveyed his thanks to Pete August 27, 2002 5 - At the time Spring Hollow was constructed, Roanoke County retained many of its more productive groundwater wells to be used in emergencies. These wells have a combined capacity between 2 - 3 MGD. Our staff implemented a plan to gradually bring these wells on-line to reduce future stress on our water system. At the present time we are supplementing our water supply with approximately 850,000 GPD from these groundwater sources. - In addition we are receiving approximately 300,000 GPD from the Town of Vinton to supplement the East 460 corridor. This allows Roanoke County to reduce the use of Carvins Cove water and thereby increase the net amount of water provided to Roanoke City. - Roanoke County has also entered into a contract with Bedford Well Drilling to drill groundwater wells in the vicinity of the Spring Hollow Water Treatment Facility. The Health Department has approved five well sites in the area. It is hoped that reasonable supplies of groundwater can be obtained from these sites. Because of the close proximity to the treatment facility the water from these wells could be treated very economically. Mr. Robertson requested that the Board consider a voluntary conservation program at this time to serve as an educational process for citizens, as well as extend the safe use of our water supply and eliminate the need for mandatory conservation at a later date. He indicated that a draft policy for water conservation measures would be presented to the Board for consideration at the September 24 meeting, and requested feedback from the Board prior to the September meeting. In response to Supervisor Nickens' question, Mr. Robertson indicated that voluntary conservation would begin immediately and that the water conservation measures would be sent to citizens in their water bill, as well as placing them on the County website. He further reported that in the draft policy, the phrase "an adequate supply exists to meet projected long-term needs" was used to allow some discretion in determining when conservation measures need to be implemented.

President Laura Wasco welcomed new board member Richard "Rich" Maxwell, Esq., an attorney with Woods Rogers and Hazelgrove PLC. Executive Director Ann Masters reported that this year's Earth Summit (an annual environmental seminar for high school juniors and seniors held at the Higher Education Center) will be fully underwritten by sponsors. There will also be some TV coverage. Ms. Masters distributed a summary showing the number of hits on the organization's web site, cleanvalley.org. The number of hits over the past year varied from 650 to 1400 per month. Since there was little business to conduct, the latter half of the time was devoted to meetings of the Education Committee (planning details of the earth summit) and the Recycling committee. The latter committee discussed ways that Roanoke County might be persuaded to re-start a recycling program. Members mentioned the curb-side collection system now in operation in Roanoke City and Vinton, and the drop-off systems used in Salem, Vinton and Botetourt County as examples of successful programs. They also suggested that all schools establish re-cycling programs. Please let me know of any questions. ~~ ~~ t. .R• ACTION NO ITEM NUMBER ~ "" AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER.

I am indeed sorry you had a long wait at DMU and hopefully this article will help you understand.

Monday, August 19, 2002 No quick trip to Roanoke DMV office By JOE KENNEDY <mailto:joek@roanoke.com> THE ROANOKE TIMES Tanya and Carl Byrd used time off from work Wednesday to complete several chores. Their list included a stop at the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles at Roanoke's Crossroads Mall to register and get license plates for their Chevy Tahoe. They left with the task undone. "We just got out of line," Tanya said, "because they said it's an hour-and-a-half wait." If you've been to the DMV lately, you might have thought things were taking longer than they used to. You would have been right. In 2001, the waiting time at the Roanoke DMV office averaged 15 minutes, 34 seconds, said Pam Goheen, a DMV spokeswoman in Richmond. This year, the average waiting time is 27 minutes, 16 seconds - a 75 percent increase, •~ in 1997, the Roanoke office introduced ahigh-tech service system that drew praise from customers. A receptionist greets customers, determines their needs and issues tickets with a letter and a number. separating quick tasks from more lengthy ones. The system is in place statewide, but the pace has slowed. National security has much to do with it. With all deliberate speed "Clearly, our service is more deliberate with enhanced attention to security," Goheen said. "The requirements have changed a number of times over the past year, and so, yes, there is a more deliberate attention to the requirements." But that's not the only reason. In Roanoke, four full-time customer service positions are unfilled for budget reasons, leaving 27 full-timers and a dozen part-timers to handle the office's 49 hours of weekly service. An average of 768 customers conduct an average of 1,016 transactions each day: "We are working for a balance between service and security," Goheen said. "I think our customers do understand that." Maybe, but many are surprised by the watts. Tasha Smith, a 20-year-old Radford University <http://www.runet.edu/> student and-part-time bank employee, spent 70 minutes Tuesday getting license plates for her 1998 Ford Explorer. "1 was late for work,' she said. . "I was on my lunch hour, I thought," said Susan Musselwhite, an apartment manager who recently moved back here from North Carolina. Obtaining a new driver's license took her nearly two hours. Everything is relative Goheen encourages customers to conduct routine transactions tfirvugh the DMV Web site (vvww.dmvnow.com) or its toll-free phone line, (866) DMV-LINE. (On Friday, no agents were available because of "an extremely high volume of calls" resulting from new legislation that affects the issuing of driver's licenses.) Sip 09, 02 10:12a Butch Church (5401 387-6025 p.3 Page 3 ,' Though4, folks She also recommended that customers learn what d hoto IDs and the need when they come in for driver's license renewals, p like. As usual, the DMV is busiest just after opening and before closing, during lunch hours and on Saturday mornings and on days at the beginning and end of the month.

Box 21009 Roanoke, Va. 24018-0533 Dear Brenda Smith: SUBJECT: TAX•PAYMENT (540J 387-6025 Thank you for assisting me with understanduzg how to pay the personal property tax on my trailer. ' I wanted to give you some background information on how I came to this dilemma. I went to the DMV Friday 30`~ about 1:OOpm to zegister the new trailer that I had purchased. I knew that the Treasurer's office clerk would mot be available before 2:30pm. What I did not count on was being at the DMV past 2:30 pm. After registering the. trailer I preceded to the Roanoke County Comtnissionex's office at the DMV to obtain a tax bill. The clerk presented me the new tax bill with the tax amount and the decal fee. I told the clerk that I did not want to purchase a decai for the trailer at this time. The clerk told me that I could not pay my tax bill. separate, that I had to pay my tax bill and decal fee together. I explained to the clerk that I had sold xny J.998 utilitty trailer and that I was going to transfer the decal. The clerk verified that T sold the trailer and said that no tax refund ox credit is available to my account. The clerk then told me that if I did not have the oId decal I.still could not pay my tax bill. The clerk politely handed me my tax bill and told rne~that I would have to corne back and bring my old decal. There:~aias a line forming behind me so I chose to leave the DMV without paying my tax bill I would have approached the clerk from the Treasurer's office to ask for assistance but there was also. .line of people waiting to pay their bill. I had been at the DMV for an hour and a.half; therefore I did not want to wait in the treasurer's Iine only to be told again that I could not pay my tax bill I later learned, from the Treasurel's office that I was due a $1.46 credit. Now I realize a $1.46 is nothing to worry about, but the issue is that I was entitled to a credit. The Commissioner's office and the Treasurer's office expect the taxpayer to furnish accurate information when selling or registering a vehicle. The Treasurer's office met their obligation to me as a taxpayer, however the Commissioner's office failed to meet their obligation to me by furnishing inaccurate information•regaxding mq account and the procedure for paying my tax bill. Brenda thanks again for helping me with this matter. I am enclosing my olddecal and a check to cover mp•tax bill.and~decal fee.. . _ , . ,. , ;; .

I have asked Wendi Schultz to be a part of the presentation to the Board to help explain the role of the County in this new event. She should be in touch with you or Ms. Chewning in the near future to prepare for the meeting. As the County's Department of Parks' Recreation and Tourism has agreed to offer its assistance in helping to plan the event, there is no Board of Supervisors action needed on this item. The endorsement of the Department is sufficient to acquire some airtime on RVTV to help market the event. Therefore this board briefing should be in the form of an announcement of the event and the benefits that it will bring to the community. I hope this meets the goals you and Ms. Chewning have for the September 10 Board of Supervisors Meeting. If you need any additional information pertaining to the September 10 meeting please do not hesitate to contact me. Please respond to let me know you received this message.

Box 29800 Roanoke, Virginia 24018-0798 Attention: Mr. Elmer Hodge, Roanoke County Administrator RE: First Annual Film Festival Dear Mr. Hodge: In April 2003, the Blue Ridge-Southwest Virginia Film Office, Inc. is planning to produce its first annual film festival. It is our goal to become known throughout this industry as the place for "Breaking Ground For New Film Producers." To establish a festival that will provide a service for up and coming film producers to showcase their new productions at our video and film festivals. For that reason, "Bootie" Bell Chewning, Co-Director of the film office and President of the Corporate Board of Directors, would like to appear before the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors board meeting on Tuesday, September 10, 2002, at your 3 P.M. session to discuss this most important event for Southwest Virginia. We have already held meetings with Fred Anderson, Roanoke County Treasurer and Treasurer of the film festival event and member of the film office's Advisory Board, Wendi Schultz, CFE for Roanoke County's Tourism and Event Coordinator, Gray Craig, Marketing Specialist for the County of Roanoke Parks, Recreation and Tourism, Roger E. Elmore, Executive Director of Virginia Explore Park, and Bill Zimmerman Vice Mayor of the City of Covington and film office's Advisory Board member. Topics of discussion has been how Roanoke County, Virginia Explore Park, and the Blue Ridge-Southwest Virginia Film Office can work together to produce this important event. In order for our film office to be able to utilize the services of Wendi Schultz and Elaine Bays Simpson, Station Manager for RVTV and film office Advisory Board Member, and be able to hold workshops at the Virginia Explore Park, the County of Roanoke would have to endorse this project. This annual event could bring much needed revenue and tourism to this area as well as encourage film producers to utilize and explore what our region has to offer. I have spoken with several film producers who are very interested in showcasing their projects at our documentary and film festival. Consolidated Theatres Grande 16 has already agreed to host the film festival at their Valley View location. Virginia Explore Park is interested in showing documentaries and hosting several workshops that would be held at different locations within their park. In order for Explore Park to become "Discovered" by active film makers you first have to get producers and directors into the park to see first hand what is there that can be utilized by their camera crews. I firmly believe that Explore Park is a ready made "Back Stage Lot" just waiting to be found. Our film office has to show prospective producers and directors that the park is user friendly and is willing to discuss the Diane Childers - RE: Blue Ridge-Southwest Virginia Film Office, Inc First Annual Film Festival Page 2 _.. A ~ possibilities for making their scripts come alive on location at Explore Park. With the recent tax cuts slashing operating budgets on this end of the state, film making could become an excellent source of revenues for the park as well as the economy in Southwest Virginia. Please support this most important endeavor and have Diane Childers, Clerk To The Board of Roanoke County Board of Supervisors, place "Bootie" Chewning on your September 10, 2002, agenda. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Fred Anderson, Elaine Simpson, or myself should you have any questions or require any additional information. Sincerely, Sandra R.

Dear Wendy: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with "Bootie" Chewning, Fred Anderson, Michael Gilmore, and me on August 21st and once again on Monday, August 26th in Mr. Anderson's office with Roger Ellmore, Executive Director of Virginia Explore Park as well as Lu Sadler. The purpose of these particular meetings were to discuss how the Roanoke County Parks, Recreation, and Tourism could best assist the Blue Ridge-Southwest Virginia Film Office's first annual film festival tentatively planned in the month of April 2003. Per your voice message left on Friday, August 29, 2002, I will attempt to provide you with information concerning this event for your meeting with Channel 13 on Friday, September 6, 2002. At this time: `Trent Jones, General Manager for Consolidated Theatres at the Grande 16 located at 4730 Valley View Blvd. Roanoke, Virginia: 1) Has agreed to host the film festival as well as assist us in the selling of tickets for the event. A) Is verifying dates with home office this week. 2) Once dates are established, will allow us to make a display with upcoming events, workshops, photos/movie posters of films to be located in their lobby especially during the busy months of November, December, and through the months of January-April, 2003 for maximum exposure. 'Have been contacting Independent film makers in regard to showing their work at this festival. Several have committed. "Working on which stars will be available. Will be decided on if they will be having a film presented at the film festival. Or they will be making other contributions such as workshops. A) Once this is established, will know which days to approach the Virginia Explore Park for space, times and dates for workshops and autograph sessions. B) Consolidated Theatres is also interested in holding workshops as well as autograph sessions. *In the process of developing an award for best NEW CDiane Childers RE. Update on Film Festival Page 2 film shown. The winning producer/director will be honored at our awards banquet held at the end of the festival on Saturday night. Diana Churchman, film Advisory Board member is chairing this committee. *In the process of developing a "kick off' reception on Thursday night at the Grande 16 to officially open the first film festival event. All guests will be present to mingle with fans and festival attendees prior to first films to be shown Consolidated Theatres is in agreement of "Kick off' reception. *As event draws closer in the month of April, I would like to have a radio station or stations involved to giving away a few FREE tickets in a promotion so we could get radio air time to promote this event. Would like to discuss this with you. It has always been a good way to reach people of all ages that would have not heard about our event. I have used this method before to promote other events and it proved to be very successful. *Channel 13 could run a promotion and the Grand Prize winner/winners could win free tickets to attend the entire festival as well as a free ticket to the Saturday night bash with winner getting the opportunity to sit at the table of the special quests. That has also be a crowd pleaser. *Also interested in discussing with you, Blue Ridge Public television being a media sponsor since they reach a different demographic region other than Channel 13. Could you feel your contact out and see if he would be interested in sharing the television media sponsorship since Public Television is a different type of TV station? I have not spoken with Blue Ridge yet, but they have said that they would be very interested in any projects that we are planning. Let me know your thinking on this. I know we could appear on their television show to promote the event. This should give you enough to go on at this time. Planning sessions will be upcoming. I would like to invite you to attend our next Advisory Board meeting that will be held on September 12 at 7 P.M. at the Vinton War Memorial. I will be sending out notices to our board members tonight so they can plan to attend. A few already know about it. By then we should have several things to report to them on our progress. Wish us luck with our interview with "Southern Living Magazine" on Wednesday, September 4 at the Vinton War Memorial. Look forward to working with you! My letter to the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors will be dropped off to them on Monday requesting their official endorsement for this event and for Bootie Chewning to appear before them to answer any questions that they may have. She has already spoken with "Butch" Church, chairman of the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors. They are setting up a meeting next week to discuss this project. I will continue to keep you informed as this event grows, sponsors come on board, as well as guest commitments. Diane Childers - RE: Update on Film Festival Sincerely, Sandra Sandra R.

'~•,, .-~:~ ~Y } Monday, August 12, 2002 Roanoke's new coalition Inculca~i~g character in our kids By STUART HARRIS THE TWO editorials July 15, "Throwing a line to sinking schools" and "Explore new approaches to fighting crime in Virginia" had agreat deal in common Yes, we need to focus on basic literacy and academic necessities, and, yes we need to focus on reduction of violent crime and other behavioral issues. For a start, if we could reduce crime and the costs of incarceration and rehabilitation, we would surely have more funding available to allocate to education. In all probability, it would be even truer the other way around. The issue truly is one of "behavior." The Virginia Character Education legislation of 1999, introduced by state Sen. John Edwards of Roanoke, holds the key to all this. If the values specifically cited in the legislation - trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship -were to be truly inculcated into more of our young people, we would see significant improvements in their behaviors and in our community's sense of security, caring and well-being. These six virtues are known as the "pillars" of the Character Counts program, which has been widely adopted by schools throughout our region. Furthermore, once we can help some of our young people to enhance their value systems and take responsibility for themselves, we will see a truly meaningful improvement in their attitudes and motivations and therefore academic results. Incidentally, this will also result in increased effectiveness and satisfaction for our teachers. It is an obvious and well-researched fact that the primary determinant of how children grow up in terms of their behaviors and citizenship skills generally is the influence of their parents andfor primary caregiver. Well-documented information on this can be found at the Web site of the Search Institute of Minneapolis (www.searchinstitute.org). A key secondary influence demonstrated there is that of their teachers. Sadly, many young people who "go wrong" actually don't know the difference between commonly accepted community standards of "right" and "wrong." If they are not being given sound guidance in their home environments, they will never know better or change -until, sadly, the law intervenes - unless they can be guided and shown better options, in their schools. Most of our local schools endorse the principles of Character Education and are making serious efforts to implement the Character Education laws. However, from careful research and numerous personal observations in other communities around this country (and elsewhere}, it has become clear that two essential ingredients are missing here. First, no funding was provided in the original legislation. Funding is essential. While a great deal of training has been done by the schools already, good behaviors cannot be truly infused into students unless every adult in the school systems models the agreed principles at all times. Then they need constantly and consistently to find ways to communicate and reinforce those principles at every opportunity throughout the school environment. Behavior is not one more "lesson" to be added on, but a topic interwoven into all school lessons and other activities. Second and even more important, those values cannot be fully conveyed and imparted unless they are also understood and supported throughout the rest of our community. We need our whole community to know what is done and planned in our schools, and support and reinforce these efforts and promote these same values at every possible opportunity, in and out of schools. This is not just an idea I am preaching. This is all about to happen. A group of us are in the process of forming the Greater Roanoke Valley Character Coalition, or GRVCC. We plan our official launch to coincide with American Character Week, Sept. 6-14. We have a comprehensive plan in the works, and we have committees established that represent all facets of our community including the business, culture, faith-based, health care, legal, parents, sports, youth and youth clubs sectors. We also have a media committee to publicize our progress and a funding committee to raise the funds needed to support our school training programs and help harness the power of our community at large. For more information, or to volunteer your assistance, or even to let us have your opinions, please a-mail me at harrisva@aol.com. Finally, let me add that the true and obvious solution in the long run lies in better preparation for the full role and responsibilities of parenting. Unless we are fortunate enough to have really good parents, we have no way of learning the skills and commitment we must be willing to exercise ourselves, unless someone else is going to prepare us adequately for this role. I will not dwell on this here, but when it is appropriate we must pursue the issue of having our schools undertake this rate as an appropriate part of school activities at each stage from grades K-12. We have to start early so that our children. understand the true role and responsibility of parenting before they become parents or even take any actions that could produce that result. Most of us know something about how to care for that "helpless" baby. However, do we truly understand that if we do our job effectively, we will eventually help produce aself-reliant, responsible adult member of the community who knows how to make good choices and decisions for his or her future happiness? Our children today are on average going to live much longer than our forefathers or ourselves. They need to be helped to realize that and plan ahead for it -and not seek immediate gratification at the probable expense of their longer-term well-being. The challenge to a parent in helping the transition from a helpless babe to a truly self-sufficient adult is awesome -and cannot be learned on the fly. Preparation is just as essential as learning about any other topic. We have drivers ed. We need parent ed. While the immediate focus is on Character Education, there are many common elements, such as caring and responsibility. However, eventually we need to recognize that Character Education, by itself, will not produce good parents. However, well-planned parenting education. will produce good character. Do we want to reduce violence and improve the quality of life for us, our children and their children? If so, we must start to teach good parenting, understanding and practices to our next generation of parents. But for today, actively support our Character Education legislation and our new Character Coalition.

On newsstands now, the Southern Living article focuses on Franco's company, East West DyeCom, Inc. (EWDC), which specializes in aluminum anodizing. Anodizing is an electrochemical process that rearranges the molecular structure of aluminum surfaces, making them abrasion resistant and rust-proof. When dye is added to the process, the color becomes deeply embedded into the metal, versus simply being applied to the outside, and won't rust, fade or chip off. Recently named the 2001 Outstanding Small Business of the Year (manufacturing category) by the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce, EWDC manufactures a line of anodized aluminum sheets, beads, coils and wires that artists and crafters use to create an array of vibrantly colored products - from stylish earrings and brooches to dramatic wall hangings and spinning mobiles. On the service side, EWDC anodizes, or "hardcoats," precision machined parts for military, medical and manufacturing applications. The hardcoat provides additional protection against extreme, harsh conditions. As dubbed by Southern Living, this "Queen of Aluminum" has a great passion for her work. "Anodized aluminum really is quite amazing,"exclaims Franco. "It's strong, beautiful and provides a wonderfully versatile medium for both artists and industry," she concludes. East West DyeCom, Inc. is a leading provider of top-quality anodized aluminum products. For the past 15 years, EWDC has provided metal finishing services for its clients from the company's shop in Roanoke, Virginia. For additional information about anodized aluminum or the products and services that EWDC provides, please call (540) 362-1489 ar visit the company's web site at www, eastwestdye. com. ~~,~~~,~ ~~ ~u~~~~~ CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION AWARDED TO Tamea Franco-Woodward for being featured in the September, 2002 issue of SouEherrt Living Magazine ^ Ms. Franco-Woodward, dubbed the "Queen of Aluminum" by Southern Living Magazine is the owner of East West DyeCom, Inc., (EWDC) a Roanoke County business. ^ The Southern Living Magazine article focuses on Franco-Woodward's company, EWDC, which specializes in aluminum anodizing, an electrochemical process that rearranges the molecular structure of aluminum surfaces, making them abrasion resistant and rust-pmof. ^ EWDC manufacturers a line of anodized aluminum sheets, beads, coils and wires that artists and crafters use to create an array of vibrantly colored products -from earrings and brooches to wall hangings and spinning mobiles. ^ EWDC was recently named the 2001 Outstanding Small Business of the Year (manufacturing category) by the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The 122 projects have been need- execunu~ coMna+rree validated by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia based, either on current needs, or the Dr. Anne r~lexander looming reality of 32,000 more students that are expected to enroll before the decade's end.

As the one yeaz anniversary of September 11 approaches, America will celebrate the nation's resiliency and remember the sacrifices of our newfound heroes. County governments work hard, protecting and safeguazding the American way of life. It is only fitting that we observe this somber yet important anniversary. Attached is a draft resolution recognizing those who gave their lives on September t 1, 2001. We encourage every county in the nation to pass the resolution before September 11, 2002. The United States Congress has proclaimed September 1 I as Patriot Day. The declaration calls for flags to be flown at half-staff and for all to observe a moment of silence on September 11. NACo encourages counties to participate in national Patriot Day, and asks you to go a step further. Honor those who died not only with silence, but also with action. Below aze some suggested activities: • Take part in National Civic Participation Week, Sept. 11 - 17. The week will honor the courageous spirit of the American people and pay tribute to t}tose who lost their lives on September 1 I . During the week Americans will be challenged to pledge their commitment to civic participation through voting, communicating ideas with elected officials, volunteering and contributing to worthy causes and organi- zations. Get more information at www.participateamerica.org. • Plan a candle light vigil at the county courthouse or other prominent landmazk. • Sponsor an essay contest for high school students. Topics should be centered on local heroes, local people who embody the American spirit. Feature the winning essays in the county newsletter. • Plan a town hall meeting to inform the community about what the county is doing to improve emergency preparedness and to answer citizen's questions about local security. There are many ways to honor those who died on September 11, 2001. NACo looks forwazd to hearing about your individual programs. Thank you for your participation in Patriot Day, and thank you for your continued hazd work securing the nation. Ken Mayfield Larry E.
