. ~The Dallas Post By RICH JOHNSON Staff Writer Sporting a new haircut and an extensive background in body building, Raye Hollitt has re- turned to the Back Mountain to open a gym for people who want to concentrate on toning up their bodies. “The Gym by Raye Hollitt” will open along Memorial Highway this Saturday and Hollitt says that it will offer a lot for Back Mountain people who are seri- ous about getting in shape. “There is a need in the area for this,” said Hollitt. “If you live back here it is tough to travel to Wilkes-Barre all the time to find a hard-core gym. Now we have a gym where people can concen- trate on body-building.” Hollitt knows about body building as she has won numer- ous competitions in the sport. She first started training after her graduation from Lake- Lehman High School in 1982. She took body building seriously and won the first competition she entered. She went to California in 1983 to continue her training. In 1988 she won the Miss L.A. Body- building Competition, one of the biggest meets in the country. While in California, Hollitt got involved in acting and starred in the movie, “Skin Deep” with John Ritter. Her appearance in that movie helped get her on the tele- vision series, “American Gladi- ators” where she is known as sZap”. Hollitt will not be on the show next season since she and her husband have returned to this area and are opening the gym. “I want to change the percep- tion of what body building is,” said Hollitt last week. “Women who want to tone their bodies don't have to look like men or act Raye Hollitt has won bodybuilding competitions and acted in movies and on television like men.” Hollitt said that many people are misled by the concept of body building. “People can take it to any degree they want,” she said. “I made a goal to take it as far as I could, but others can set the goals they want.” Hollitt said that her gym can help people set the right goals and get on the right system. The gym will feature many free weights and “Flex” machines to help enhance specific muscles. It will also offer professional fit- ness instruction, a juice and food bar, and stationary bikes. Hollitt noted that the gym will also sell a clothing line and will provide many training videos for its members. Hollitt's husband, Ted Prior, will be one of the instructors at the gym. He is also active in body building and acting. Dur- ing the 13 years he lived in Cali- fornia, he ran the first Gold's Gym and trained with many big- name bodybuilders. He has also appeared on the soap opera “Days of Our Lives.” Hollitt noted that she will be active as an instructor at the gym, but those who have seen her in films or on television may not recognize her new look. Hollitt and Prior are expect- ing their first child in November. She is also sporting a new hair- cut, saying that she always said she would cut her hair when she was going to have a child. Hollitt plans to continue to work out during the pregnancy. Hollit returns to open gym for bodybuilders She also says that she will re- turn to “American Gladiators” after the baby is born. For now, though, Hollitt is concentrating on her gym and its grand opening this weekend. The gym is scheduled to be open weekdays from 8:00-10:00 and on the weekend from 11:00- 7:00. Taxpayers (continued from page 1) find places to cut some of the programs. It would be better if the . district would increase the millage > more evenly each year; then it wouldn't be such a shock.” Mrs. Lori Avery of Noxen is not the least happy with the 18-mill increase. “Raising the property taxes 18 mills is ridiculous,” she said. “The children aren't getting quality education. The softball team had to cancel their game this year because the fields were not kept in good condition by the maintenance employees. “It's also aggravating that the board tried to cut the late bus runs. We need the bus run out here in Noxen. It is the activity we have to keep the kids off the streets. If the district kept up the quality education, I wouldn't mind the increase so much.” Prior to last week's action, Superintendent Dr. Charles Borchetta had proposed a 14-mill increase with certain recom- mended cuts or curtailments. In presenting the 14-mill increase, Borchetta explained that major increases in the 1990-1991 budget amounted to $890,000 over the budget he proposed, which would have meant a very large millage increase. “That is why I recommended the cuts and curtailments in order to keep the millage down to 14- mills,” he explained at that time. Board president Jeffrey Fritzen emphasized to the board that the 18-mill proposed budget adopted Tuesday night was only a tentative one. “The board will have" time to meet and discuss and evaluate the proposed budget and during the time between May 22 and June 28, will be able to change it, cut other items or increase the millage just as we have done tonight,” Fritzen explained. The board adopted the 18-mill budget in order to refrain from cutting certain education equipment and supplies and eliminating curtailing and al- tering programs dealing with per- sonnel. The next budget meeting will be held June 18 at which time the board will study carefully items which might be cut from the budget or what additional revenue will be available. On the air (continued from page 1) on our time in the mornings. The first year was practice. I've been one of the back up crew ever since. It's a lot of fun. At first I was a little nervous, but after being anchor a couple of times, it came naturally and it’s been good experience,” said Wisnieski now a ninth-grader. The 15 technicians on the tele- vision crew are under the direction of William Roberts, also a faculty member. The technicians always work because they have to set up, do the video taping, work the cameras, do special effects, make their own graphics and set up for the broadcasting. Ninth grade student Dave Sei- del started as a technician in sev- enth grade. “I stayed in the techni- cal part for the three years because it is so interesting and it gives me something to do. Activity periods can get boring at times. I have worked on all phases of the elec- tronic equipment and also on the logo for the station. I usually work the console. The work would not be my first choice but maybe my second or third or just as a hobby,” Seidel said. Bill Camp also started as a member of the technical crew and is still with it in ninth grade. “I stayed because it is interesting and gives me something to do in the morning. I liked the technical end and became interested in elec- tronics. I started on the camera until I got used to the other equip- ment such as the console Elec- tronics gave me the opportunity to try it out and see what it was like,” Bill said. At the end of each show, there is a listing of the crews doing the production. The school channel has its own special logo—a large sun rising against an orange and red background—and the logo comes on the screen prior to the show to alert the homerooms. Art work is also used by the students to alert the classes to the program about to come up and background music is used on every show. Most of the news relates to general announcements planned Softball game set for today The district softball title game between Dallas and Crestwood. scheduled for Tuesday was post- poned by rain. The game will be played today (Wednesday) at 4:00 p.m. -at Kirby] Park in Wilkes- Barre. by the school and the programs wo usually run about seven minutes. The studio opens about 7:25 a.m. ; and the students start coming in to the broadcasting area as soon i as it opens. Dave Grossman, also in ninth grade has been in the program since seventh grade. “I stayed with it,” Dave said. “It’ s not demanding and it doesn’t take too much of your time. It also gets me out of class a few minutes before to come report to the TV studio. I come in from the bus and drop off my books. The teachers bring in the news they want re- ported and sometimes some sports stories. We also do menus and the weather, which we summarize from the newspaper. Sometimes the teachers'news is too long and we as announcers can condense it. I might like to do this as a hobby when I am through school, but I have other plans for a career.” “The program is strictly volun- = tary,” said Roberts. “The students who join usually stay for three years. Seventh grade students, as a rule, start as technicians and continue to advance to the report- ing. weather dog which hands over the weather report and does some of the show when we have an SPCA program. Last year Kermit the Frog was our mascot, but I suggesteda dog would be nice. One of the students said she had a dog and brought it in. It was Maggie Red- mond and shedoes a greatjobwith it,” Roberts continued. “In February we did ‘Sweets for the Sweets’ and a student brought in a second dog which we used in that program,” Roberts said. “The program is for the stu- dents; it is whatever they make it. They get no credit for the program but they have fun while they learn. I have been working with the stu- dents about seven years, Warchal has been with the program from the beginning. It is great working with them, they are enthusiastic ; about it.” great gift.
