SUMMARY:Pressure Canner Testing
DESCRIPTION:Canning season is near and it is recommended to have dial gauge pressure canners tested every year for accuracy. \nVirginia Cooperative Extension will be offering free pressure canner testing at all Washington County library branches during May and June. \nDial gauges need to be checked every year for two safety reasons: safety in operation and safety in food preservation. Weighted gauges do not need to be checked. High dome canners cannot be tested. \nDrop in to have your canner tested. It will take approximately 15 minutes to have your canner lid assessed.

SUMMARY:Sunday with Friends: Homer Hickam\, Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Meet Homer Hickam Jr.\, the author of one of the most famous contemporary American memoirs\, “Rocket Boys\,” will be the featured speaker on Sunday\, May 17 at 3:00 p.m. at the Abingdon Public Library as part of the “Sunday with Friends” literary series. \nAfter education at Virginia Tech and service in Vietnam\, Hickam was employed first as an engineer for the U.S. Army Missile Command in Huntsville\, Alabama\, and then as an aerospace engineer with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) where he worked in spacecraft design and crew training. \nDuring his military and NASA career he found time to write histories\, fiction\, and memoirs. In “Rocket Boys\,” Hickam looks back at his youth and formative years after a distinguished NASA career. He takes readers into the life of the little mining town of Coalwood\, West Virginia\, and the boys who would come to embody its dreams. \nStep by step\, with the help of a collection of unforgettable characters\, the boys learn not only how to turn scrap into sophisticated rockets that fly miles into the sky\, but how to sustain their dreams as they dared to imagine a life beyond its borders in a town that the postwar boom was passing by. \n“Rocket Boys” was made into a very successful film\, retitled “October Sky\,” which starred Jake Gyllenhaal (as Homer)\, Chris Cooper\, and Laura Dern.\nHickam has written four other books about Coalwood\, a series of novels about a Coast Guard officer during World War II\, a series of young adult novels. and recently a thriller set in Montana\, “The Dinosaur Hunter.”
