Aug. 2 at 8 p.m. on ABC if Five questions In his weekly feature, copy editor Ron Davis poses five questions to John Rinaldi of Monroe County, who works for an ice supply company. Since ice is just frozen water, and water comes out of everybodys faucet, why would anybody buy ice from you? Because our ice is special.

The water is frozen using an old family recipe. 'h -sr-lr 1 jCz: r.X cr.i4 th i -ztcmonts in this it' rrakr.c you were oa v. iJi the sum- pen the radio. youve done an II.G. i thdt to time to 16th IS ycu're at a renaissance Cair.

I GETa map of the fair ahead of time or on arrival so you can plan your day. THE New York and Pennsylvania fairs are open rain or shine, although some performances may be delayed or canceled in heavy rain.

THINK about attending in costume. You can make your own ahead of time, or buy or rent one at the fair. You might also want to create a name and character for yourself. THERE are plenty of food booths available. Some will be medieval style, like smoked turkey legs and ale, but there's plenty of modem cuisine too.

Who handled ice better: Nancy Kerrigan or Tonya Harding? I wouldn't give a job to either of them. You must love going to work In July and August, right? Actually, I'd much rather be home In my air-conditioned living room watching a ball-game. Do only really stupid people buy ice in the winter? Well, only really stupid people who are having a party.

But youre one of the lucky ones.

Thats because youre only a few hours from a visit to your Mecca. Thats right, the headquarters of the largest worldwide shopping network is located in West Chester, and tours leave every hour on the hour. Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for children six to 12. Built in 1998, the West Chester site, called Studio Park, built in 1998, is QVCs world headquarters, home to more than 3,000 employees, and a 192,000 square-foot television studio where dozens of sets are built, rotated and deconstructed under millions of watts of studio lighting. At the QVC tour entrance, visitors take a few steps before encountering the live QVC broadcast on several screens, surrounded by a ASTROGRAPH B7 BRIDGE 83 COMICS.

Ditto for longtime WNEP-TV news director Bob Carroll. Channel 16 had no video ofhimtoshow. Television history is almost an oxymoron. For too many years television executives were so concerned with the here and now that nothing from yesterday was important unless it could be rerun for monetary purposes. Some gems still remain.

Look at The Honeymooners. The half hour episodes were broadcast live each week as part of a larger program on the DuMont Network. But someone made kinescopes (a prevideotape film process of recording live TV shows) and the 34 or so Honeymooners episodes were saved.
