Below, William Sprau, Shavertown, makes the transition from swim to bike. Visitors offer their views of triathlon By SCOTT A. DAVIS Post Staff It was the day before the gruel- ing competition was to begin. Tension could be seen pulling on the faces of the athletes as they arrived to check in their bikes at Old Sandy Bottom Beach. The bikes were inspected by race official James P. Harris from 7 a.m. Saturday morning until about 8 p.m. The athletes, who have gone over their bikes hun- ‘dreds of times themselves b coming to Harveys Lake, still shuddered as the official checked out their bikes for defects or other problems. The air was full of tension and as one athlete put it, “If I had a knife, would cut a piece of this air out and serve it for dinner.” But, as the athletes readied mentally and physically for the task they would undertake in Sunday's triathlon, spectators gathering from throughout the country arrived to stare in won- derment at the 627 bikes lining the beach. “There must be a million dol- _ fairgrc ounds on Route. 118 in D efore | ¥ See TRIATHLON, pg 12 Harveys Lake 12-year-old wins in national recipe contest By CHARLOT M.

Albertson, of Harveys Lake and Wynnewood, recently won second place and a $1,000 savings bond in the Shop Rite third annual “Kids in the Kitchen” rec- ®" contest. ®! Mary-Kristin, who enjoys pre- paring different type recipes en- tered the local store contest along with 3,000 other youths between the ages seven to 15 years of age. She submitted a recipe she named “Treasure of the Sea,” in which the main ingredient was scallops. Her recipe won the local contest for which she won a $50 savings bond, then she prepared her rec- ipe for the regional Shop-Rite contest. In the regional contest there were winners from Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey and Delaware, and the judges selected Mary- Kristin's recipe as the winning entry. For this she won a $100 savings bond. ~ Inaddition to winning the bond, Mary-Kristin and the other win- ners with their parents went to New York City for the national cook-offs. They stayed at a beauti- ful hotel in the World Trade Cen- ter. They also went on aboat cruise _around the Statue of Liberty. The highlight of the cruise was that the * contestants met two television " celebrities, Jeremy Miller of “Grow- ing Pains” and Jeremy Licht of “The Hogan Family”. There was also a dance floor and a live disc jockey on board the ship and the contestants were able to spend the evening dancing and making new friends. ~ The next day was exciting with all the contestants to meet at the j fg pi GI RT South Street Seaport Restaurant. They were taken to a spacious banquet room that had in it all the cooking equipment needed to pre- pare the recipes from the 30 win- ners from the five regional con- tests. Each contestant had a table and a stove or a micro-wave. The recipe ingredients were already set out for the contestants. The 11-15year- olds prepared their recipes at 8 a.m. and the seven to 10-year-olds prepared their recipes at 10 a.m. Judges of the contest included the food editors of “Good House- keeping”, “Ladies Home Journal”, the chef of Arizona, a famous New York restaurant, two hosts of New York TV cooking programs, Jer- emy Miller and Jeremy Licht, TV celebrities. The winners of the national cook- offs were to be announced in the afternoon and Mary-Kristin was overjoyed when she heard hername announced as winner of second prize in her category. Since she did not win first prize she is eligible to enter the contest again this year but is not certain what her recipe will be. “I will try several recipes to determine what my friends like best, then decide what to submit,” Mary-Kristin said. “I learned a lot about cooking from my older sister,” Mary-Kristin said. She cooks in restaurants, and I have a brother, Peter, who works for the largest catering business in Philadelphia, a White House caterer, the only one al- lowed to cater in the White House. He won first prize in his age cate- gory three years ago in the first Shop Rite contest,” Mary-Kristin explained. Mary-Kristin is more than an excellent cook.

DAVIS Post Staff The Kingston Township Board ‘of Supervisors held a special meet- ing Monday, Aug. 28 to consider bids for a road improvement proj- ect. The township considered bids for a project to improve the sur- faces of Cliffside Avenue and Davis Street in Shavertown. After a lengthy discussion, a bid submitted by Evans Asphalt Com- pany was accepted. The bid amount was $61,157.45. Evans Asphalt’s bid was almost $6,000 higher than a bid submit- ted by Vincent Construction Com- pany, of Stillwater. Vincent Con- struction’s bid was the lowest re- ceived by the township for the project. ““Inall probability, we would have given the contract to (Vincent Con- a struction),” said Chairmen Daniel Wisnieski. “But since we could not, - the board awarded the contract ol : the next lower bidder.” Christopher Borton, township engineer, said Vincent Construc- tion contacted the board to explain they are ineligible to contract proj- ects involving federal funds until the end of September. The ban was set two weeks ago, according to Borton. Vincent Construction offered no explanation to the township as to why the company is banned from federal-funded projects.
