Work with us. They won't have a chance back at their sending schools, ” Brenda Henninger of Larksville firmly told the board. -*Beard member Ellen Nagy took oh the question of ‘why’? “I've had a, Huge concern with why so few’ Dallas students go to West Side Tech. One reason is sports. If they go to West Side Tech, they cannot participate in Dallas sports,” said Nagy. “Kids inter- ested in sports who would benefit from West Side Tech do not want to go on their sports teams. I'm looking at all the students who could benefit from this.” Ernest Ashbridge, who repre- sents Dallas on the West Side Tech board with Thom Russ and John George, said he did not know why the crowd was so angry. “We want to make West Side Tech more of a vocational service center. Students can go for halfa day there and come back to their sending schools if they choose to. Before the vote they could not participate in Dallas sports if they went to Vo Tech. Now they can,” said Ashbridge, who sat through “anumber of insults from the crowd along with Russ and George. In other business, and to many foad, service workers dismay, the board chose Nutrition Inc. Ser- vices to run and manage the caf- eteria. Nagy, Karen Kyle and John Litz voted against the decision. , Nutrition Inc. Services will take over the reins from Marriott, which ran the cafeteria for five years and yielded the first profit ever for the district the last two years. About 10, food service workers showed up to find out what was happen- ing with the contract. Sharon Holdredge of Dallas has worked in food service at Dallas for 12 years and she is not happy with the decision. “I appreciate the three that vote against it. I agree with what Mrs. Nagy said. If we make budget, why kick out Marriott. We never made a profit hefore them. The only reason they are doing this is because the other company promised the ° hoard a profit of $33,000. Marriott said it was not feasible,” said Holdredge, who maintained that Jaqueline Shaver, food director, went beyond the call of duty fox the. district. ‘We're not happy.” t 675-1167 The Whery's to play at Irem July 19 *.

After thinking about it, Kathy said this could also have been her best moment. Kathy credits her father, Dr. Thomas Bednarek for inspiration. He used to shoot consistently in the 70’s, but a bad back took him out of action for a couple of years. He's now getting back on track, she said. Her current teacher is Mike Molino at Huntsville, who is helping her work on long irons and the driver. “My short game is good,” she said, and she can hit long — 230 yards off the tee — but not always accurately. Though she has enjoyed much : success, Kathy maintains a good attitude and has goals set for her- self. “For now I'm working on keep- ing my score in the high 70s,” although that’s quite a challenge at Huntsville, where her best score isan 84. “I could have played even better,” she said. i} She also has set a longer term goal. “I would like to be on a. college team,” she said. ’ For now, though, she will con- tinue to concentrate on tourna- ments this summer, which serve to keep her in tune for the start of the high school season in late August. Youth golf opportunities are plentiful, inexpensive There is a wealth of opportuni- ties for young people in the region to learn and play golf, no matter Kathy Bednarek plays in tournaments sponsored by the Keystone Public Golf Association (KPGA), and in the Philadelphia PGA Junior Tour. KPGA is the only statewide golf association in Pennsylvania. In addition to sponsoring tourna- ments, KPGA rates courses, pro- vides handicapping services, in- terprets rules and acts as a clear- ing house for golf-related ques- tions. The tournaments Kathy playsinlead to the P.J. Boatwright Challenge Cup. The competition is open to boys and girls age 12- 20, divided into three age catego- ries: 12-14, 15-17 and 18-20. Participants earn points in the qualifying tournaments and the top total point winners from each division in each of six regions will be invited to play in the state championship finals August 7 at Armitage Golf Course. in Mechanicsburg. There is an $18 - entry fee for each qualifying tour- nament.

The tournament series for boys and girls 10-18 will be at Huntsville Golf Club Thursday, July 24 and at Irem Temple Country Club Thursday, July 30. Boys play in: three age groups; 12-13, 14-15 and 16-18. Girls are divided into two groups; 12-14 and 15-18. Players 10 and 11 years old play 9 holes until they are able to shoot 60 (boys) or 65 (girls), at which point they advance to the next age group. Kathy Bednarek says the tour has mushroomed in popularity. When she first played on it a few years ago, she was the only girl at some tournaments, now some venues must limit the number of players.
