Hello!For the fourth year in a row, we attended the wine fest in Elkin this past Saturday.

Though the weather was MUCH too hot, it was a terrific festival as usual.Enjoyed the Natty Boh Duo again, and - surprisingly, as I am not a beach music fan - really en-

joyed the Mixed Emotions!I appreciate that they played a wider variety of music this year. From our vantage point under the

shade tree, it certainly appeared that the crowd had a great time!I'd like to see you do more to promote wine bottle recycling in the years to come... perhaps by plac-

ing empty case boxes near the trash cans?

Thanks!Lora Sheridan, Winston-Salem

Matthew and I want to send you our congratulations on a GREAT festival. I heard that so manypeople came you ran out of glasses. So what was the number? We had very good sales. Seems you evenhave "pull with the Man Upstairs" because the weather was beautiful....

A job well done,Ann Mayberry, Brushy Mountain Winery

Good job this weekend. Brandon McCann, Cascade Highlands

Congratulations on another successful Wine Festival! Ercel Carter, Wachovia Market President, Yadkin/Surry Counties

Vaughan-Bassett investing$1 million to expand plantGALAX, Va. — Bedroom manufacturer

Vaughan-Bassett has announced a $1 mil-lion, 16,000-square-foot expansion of itsmain plant here.

The company broke ground in May andplans to have the work completed by De-cember. The added space will be used tostore bed rails and mirrors and for the stag-ing of shipments from the adjoining ship-ping facility.

In May, it completed the first two phases ofthe project, relocating its two bed produc-tion lines from the machine room to thepack room. It also moved two offices and arestroom to open up a forklift aisle that willallow the movement of parts from the ma-chine room to the bed production lines.

A phase to be completed in July will in-volve reorganizing machinery, using about8,000 square feet opened up with the relo-cation of the bed lines.

Vaughan-Bassett said the project is neces-sary due to the success of the $3 million

Weinig Rough End System it installed at theGalax plant last July, which improves thecompany's efficiency in cutting lumber."We have been able to cut significantly morelumber and we are generating many moreparts with our new system," President andCEO Wyatt Bassett said in a statement. He added that the latest expansion will addjobs in the coming months and years, butdid not specify how many.

Doug Bassett, executive vice president andchief operating officer, said the companyhopes to add jobs at the same pace it hasgrown over the past year. He said the man-ufacturer has added 60 jobs in Galax in thepast 15 months and brought back 50 work-ers since it reopened its Elkin, N.C., plant inSeptember.

Vaughan-Bassett now employs more than700 at the two facilities.

She really feels a strong connection to her pa-tients, and she states she enjoys spending timewith her patients as much as she does her fam-ily! Her desire is that her patients will becomelike family to her, and that she can teach herpatients, just as she does her children, aboutmaking healthy life- choices. This is truly a re-freshing trend in medicine, and Elkin is fortu-nate to have someone to offer theseapproaches in medicine!
