Indian Valley Record Wednesday, April 13, 2011 7A Greenville culinary students take second place Alicia Knadler Indian Valley Editor aknadler@plumasnews.com Residents who attend Indi- an Valley fundraisers where Greenville High School stu- dents do the cooking already know how good they are. Their excellence is known statewide now that the school culinary team has brought home second place in the California ProStart Cup 2011. "We weren&apos;t expecting to place so high," culinary arts teacher Judy Dolphin said, especially during their first time at the competition. Students were able to pre- view the competition when they arrived early, just in time to see the first day of competition and the caliber of the other teams. Greenville High team mem- bers were John Hindorff, who also won one of only three O, utstanding Student awards, Kayla Isitt, Denice Ginger and Sam Tomaselli. Each of these students re- ceived a valuable prize package and is eligible for scholarships to prestigious universities and culinary institutes. The ProStart competition is a program of the California Restaurant Association Edu- cational Foundation and the 2011 sponsors were Boyds Coffee and BJ's Restaurants. More than 80 students from all over the state competed, including those on the first- place team from Newport Harbor High School and the third-place team from Pacific Grove High School. Outstanding Student Award Out of all the students com- peting, Hindorff was selected due to his strong sense of re- sponsibility and his work ethic. Dolphin said he regularly takes on the jobs of quitters without complaining. "And he's always there at fund-raisers," she added, from setup to cleanup. Student preparation Students compiled Presenta- tion folders full of paperwork for the contest, including worksheets for recipe and menu planning, as well as cost analysis and pricing. There were many other aspects to the competition, including sanitation. • During the lastfew days be- fore departure, students were practicing how they would wipe their hands at any given moment, with a wet towel, dry or paper. Mentor Sean Conry, execu- tive chef at Longboards, helped them in that regard, telling them what one might normally do versus what the judges would be watching for. If in doubt, the students could always dunk their hands into the tubs of water and bleach that would be under their workstations. Over the weeks of prepara- tion, Conry helped students hone their slicing and dicing skills, as well as their pre- sentation skills and other culinary criteria judges would be looking for. Included in their prize packages were "On Cooking: A Textbook of Culinary Fundamentals," and a profes- sional Santoku knife. They were also offered a number of scholarships to prestigious schools like Cal Poly Pomona, the Culinary Institute of America, John- son and Wales University, Le Cordon Bleu and others.

Isitt was rec- ognized by one of the judges at the com petition for her ex- cellent julienne and brunoise cuts.

Under the new structure, one of the assistant sheriffs would be responsible for op- erations and the other would handle administrative duties. Hagwood said both positions would fall under the mid- management bargaining unit. He noted the undersheriffs position was the source of some controversy during the preceding two administra- tions, when the job descrip- tion was listed as an "at will" position. "The (assistant sheriffs) will be attached to a bargain- ing unit," Hagwood said. "And I think it's important that particularly the assistant sheriff position is one that is represented, one that is afforded the protections and benefits of the other employees." He said because of the insecurity associated with the undersheriff position -- attempts were made to re- move or demote past under- sheriffs that legacy has "left something of a bad taste in the pool of eligible candi- dates for this position." "From a principle stand- point, I think it is absolutely essential that men and women who have dedicated 20-plus years of service to the citizens of Plumas County be in a posi- tion where they can state their beliefs and pursue what is fun- damentally correct without any fear of retribution or reprisal," Hagwood •said. "Anti it's essential from a principle standpoint that those two very important positions have representa- tion and all the rights and benefits afforded to them so that there's no question of impropriety."
