In that time, she developed an advisory board, recruited more than 60 volunteers who read, worked the radio board, and performed fund-raisers. She also sent out over 90 percent of the initial receivers to print-impaired citizens in the Harrisonburg area. The Valley Voice began programming in July 1982. "In the time that I was there, we were on the air about six hours a day." Fuller said. Volunteers read local papers and programs from Richmond were transmitted in to the radio station. "There is certainly a need for [assistance]. Being blind, what would you do all day? People need assistance and this is a wonderful service," Fuller said. Today the Valley Voice is in the process of expanding their service to reach even more residents in need. Within the West- Rockingham/Harrisonburg area the valley voice signal is available on Adelphia cable at 88.3 FM. Harrisonburg residents with Adelphia cable can receive the Valley Voice on cable FM with an addition of a special wire. This service provides a clearer signal and costs much less than the special receivers. "With this new wire, we can hook up people through a cable wire to radio. It will allow us to reach many more people," said Photos: (top) A women reads sale advertisements over the air for print-impaired Valley Voice listeners, (bottom) Senior CIS Ward.

Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad were fired up Saturday night along with the crowd at the nearly sold out JMU Convocation Center. Busta Rhymes and his crew put on quite a show for the excited crowd. The Convo was surrounded with JMU police officers, ushers andcadets to make sure that the concert would stay safe and orderly for all attending. For the early birds who arrived at the Convo before 8 p.m., there were DJs from Washington, D.C. performing to warm up the crowd. As people filtered in, a large crowd formed in the floor section, and all of the seats in the Convo eventually filled up. DJ Scratch of the Busta entourage came on stage and began to spin some popular hip hop songs to get the audience ready and hyped. The crowd, especially on the floor, began to dance and sing along with tracks from popular releases from Lauryn Hill and Jay-Z. The lights were dimmed and the crowd teemed with anticipation for the arrival of Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad. Chants bellowed from the floor section, "We want Busta! We want Busta!"

If you guessed the United States Air Force Band's Singing Sergeants, then you're good at riddles because most people would have guessed a blue jay or something of the like. Or perhaps you were among the approximately 150 people fortunate enough to hear this famous choral group sing in Wilson Hall auditorium Friday. Despite scattered attendance, the Singing Sergeants gave a rousing and inspired performance that brought the audience to its feet by the end of the night. The Singing Sergeants, directed by 1st Lt. Daniel Price, performed songs from a variety of musical genres such as opera, oratorio, spiritual, musical theatre and jazz, as well as pieces from pop-culture favorites. The majority of their songs were sung a capella however, during songs such as "Movin' Out" from a Billy Joel Medley and R Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" a trio on bass, drums and piano joined the act. At one point in the evening, the group performed selections from Georges Bizet's opera "Carmen." Senior Master Sgt.
