Page A14 Winston-Salem Chronicle Thursday. September 6, 1990 Gulf crisis keeps couple from altar From Page A1 interests of the United States. Some of Ms. Hash's invited guests may have foreseen a connection between the two desparate events. Bui, beyond an instantaneous rise in prices at the gas pump, others, like Ms. Hash, envisioned little immediate impact on the happy couple's plans. "We had planned everything, and everything was going fine," Ms. Hash said, still shaken by the whole situation. Although part of First Lt, Blue's outfit, the 101st Airborne, had been shipped out at the start of deployment, it was uncertain that the rest would have to go in the foreseeable future, according to Ms. Hash. So, she kept on with their wedding plans. "Then I went down to visit him last week (week of Aug. 20)...in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and...when I saw the whole base was just about gone, their equip ment and everything, I said, 'Bryan, this looks serious,' " she remembered with the same look of astonishment that she had then. She added, "They're just waiting to be sent there." Ms. Hash thought that per haps they would have a chance for a smaller wedding, but the uncer tainty of troop movement left her no choice but to put everything on hold. Staring plaintively at her engagement ring, she said, "My dress is at home, my veil is at home. I was going to have 11 bridesmaids, one from Virginia Beach, Va., my sister Cherie (Fin- klea) was going to be matron of honor." But her parents urged her to make a decision because she had guests coming from as far away as California. In fact her mother has han dled most of the arrangements for the postponed affair. "1 kept say ing, 'This is not happening to me...I'm going to wake up, and this is going to end...because I was just numb...," she recalled. Ms. Hash's mother to suggest The Chronicle, she said. But, despite the inconvenience the not-so-dis- tant war has caused Ms. Hash and her fiance, she does not harbor any delusions about what the mili tary effort means to her personally and to the country. Getting the word out as quickly as possible to as many people as possible is what caused "This (the deployment) could n't happen at a worse time, but, as far as Bryan going, to him he knows it's his job. He can't really bow out...It's a career that Bryan chose, and I knew that when I got engaged to him," she asserted. For Ms. Hash, the United States pres ence in Saudi Arabia, which will most likely include First Lieu tenant Blue, is necessary. "If we don't fight for it, and if we let (Hussein) do what he wants to do, then eventually it will affect us," she reasoned. Knowing the per sonal impact, she added, "People may not think that it's affecting us now, but eventually it will affect us," Now that she has time on her hands, Ms. Hash plans to return to school. She had originally attend ed Guilford College but will attend Winston-Salem State Uni versity. That and her activities in her father's church will help diminish the depression that had set in when the deployment changed her life. She advised other young women in her situa tion, "Don't be by yourself. I did get real depressed. I think that being around people helps a lot more than trying to handle it on your own...keep busy (because) all of a sudden, it just all comes down on you." Birthday call From Page A1 daughter is a social worker, she will not be on the front line if fighi ing breaks out. "As long as they don't fight, I feel OK," Davis said; "It's a war that would worry me. If he (Saddam Hussein) uses chetni' cal missiles, it would upset me, for real." Ms. Hash added that the con stant newscasts don't help. "Every time you look at the news, it's something about the Persian Gulf. Then, I saw a program today where they were showing guys sending messages back home, and it just all came down on me, the reality of it," she said, her eyes barely concealing the tears and the anguish. "It's like we're pulled by the government...we can't make any plans," she added. Davis said she has not heard from the Campbells since they lef hut she expects to hear from them in the next several days. "I look Bryant Gumbel in the morning and hope I'll see her,” Davis said. About President Bush's speedy deployment of troops to Saw Arabia, Davis commented, "To be honest with you, I feel like the went too quick. I guess he had to do what he had to do. That's wh my son-in-law says. He had to do what he had to do." "Quite naturally, no one wants their children over there," sli said, "Not only mine, but for all of them, I pray they come hon safely."

Reynolds Tobacco also indicat ed that it will ask the city for an easement to run utilities from its Bailey Udlity Plant between Fourth and Fifth streets to its Quality Assurance Building on Chestnut Street, just south of First Street. The county has also agreed to offer Uie company first refusal for use of up to 150 parking spaces in any parking structure it builds in that area within the next 10 years. In making the announcement, county officials said that the four- block area extends the government "campus" in downtown Winston- Salem, offering convenient inter change between jail and county facilities as well as City Hall, the Federal Building and county offices. "We believe that the inclusion of the two blocks between Patterson and Chestnut provides us with a wonderful opportunity to participate in the development of a master plan for the redevelopment of this area. To that end the county will begin in the immediate future a study to determine the feasibility of the adaptive reuse of the factory buildings in these two blocks," said Holleman. "The Board of Commissioners deserves our thanks and applause for the foresight they have shown in recognizing the advantages and effi ciencies that this location offers for providing some of their more criti cal services," said Fishel. "Their plans have created the potential for a viable government center in which we can all take great pride. Reynolds Tobacco is pleased to have been able to work with them to bring it closer to reali ty," said Fishel. County voters approved a bond issue last fall to allow the county to borrow $48 million for a new jail and sheriffs department building. Several weeks ago, commissioners decided to add an additional floor to the new jail. The county must still negotiate with owners of three smaller parcels of property to complete acquisitions required for the new jail. R.l.R. allowed the county to seek rezoning of the front two blocks in July. Contracts for studies on the demolition and hazardous materials removal from the build ings on the jail site were awarded by the county July 23. Buildings on the four blocks were constructed by Reynolds Tobacco between 1892 and 1968. Of the 18 buildings, the company said 10 were constructed between 1909 and 1920. Production handled in these facilities was moved to Reynolds Tobacco's Shorefair Drive plant this spring, and the facij complex was officially closed Ji 29. "None of this could hi occurred without the genert cooperation and support of ti community's leading corporate c zen. R.J.R.

This year the schools are more familiar with the program and have seen what equipment and software schools received in the program last year, she said.

The school superintendents, principals, and PTA officials in the Lowes Foods marketing area have Gantt supporters host rally From Page A1 stituents about the Senator's politi cal positions and reminded the crowd that Helms was going to Saudi Arabia on a fact-finding mis sion when he has not yet addressed the people in his home state. Gantt thanked Winston-Salem for treating him so well, "like a hometown boy," in the primary and the run-off. After his speech and between shaking hands and autographing tee-shirts, Gantt noted, "When I see people like this, all pumped up, it makes me feel good." Over 1,600 people came to Bowman Gray Stadium throughout the evening to show their support for Gantt. More than 600 pounds of barbecue, provided by Paul T. Myers catering service, was con sumed at the gathering. Evelyn Terry, a volunteer working for Gantt's campaign in Forsyth County, said she was pleased with the turnout, but that there is always room for more. Several weeks ago, she said the anticipated turnout at the rally wold be 4,000. Gantt's local campaign involves organizing neighborhood by neigh borhood for continuous voter regis tration, Terry said. About 15 voters were registered at the rally. Local campaign co-chairmen are Lisbeth Evans, Clarence "Big- house" Gaines, Annie Brown Kennedy, and Mike Wells. Concession operation From Page A1 resolution that's going to come from our level," Brown said. On the slate level, he hopes for a bill in the next legislative session that would exempt concessions such as the Midget League's, which only oper ate four months out of the year, from the strict standards to which restaurants are held, he said. "It's not over with yet. It's in a dormant stage right now," Brown said. In his opinion, the best time to attack the problem is after this sea son is over and before the season begins next year. Medical center reveals plan From Page A1 man Gray. Maynard is credited with shepherding the collaborative project to the point where it is today. CommView already exists at Bowman Gray, but is in an evolu tionary process that could last from 10 to 15 years, Maynard said. AT&T has installed the system in 50 hospitals worldwide, and in the United States in such prestigious institutions as the Mayo Clinic and the Duke University Hospital. Chappell said he envisions employing about 100 people in the area when the AT&T scientists and engineers start work here, and even more if several prospective con tracts with hospitals materialize. Chappell said the location for the AT&T offices has not been deter mined yet, but several employees have already begun moving to Win ston-Salem from New Jersey. In the long run, the develop ment of hardware and software in this system could decrease medical costs to patients. Maynard empha sized that the better communication a hospital has, the shorter time a patient is likely to have to stay there. Improved communication by computer would also decrease the need for certain personnel in the hospital. The system developed for Bowman Gray/Baptist Hospital would be a semi-generic system that is modular in format so it could be adapted to other hospi tals with different specific needs, Maynard said. The technology is also able to be applied to other industries such as bankins.
