Who made the salad dressing? Maybe Leadham By Kristi Blackman Of The Print “Everyone has a creative urge to do something and this is mine,” said Sales instructor Jerry Leadham of his Zesty Salad Dressing and Herb Marinade for meats. Leadham’s interest in cooking grew when he became single six years ago and he was faced with the question, “How can I eat well and eat cheaply?” “I like salads and a dress ing that hets spices. About three years ago I began experimen ting in the kitchen,” Leadham said. He developed a salad dressing that has a sunflower oil base and is seasoned with spices, red wine and a form of JERRY LEADHAM soy sauce. No salt has been ad ded and honey serves as a substitute for sugar. Thus forming “Jerry’s Goodie Salad dressing.” “It’s called ‘Jerry’s Goodie,’ for two reasons, because it’s good and good for you,” said Leadham. Leadham said of his ex perimenting, “I was always try ing it out on friends and then it came to a point that people said ‘don’t change it.’” Leadham then thought of bottl ing and selling it. He went to a food broker and had his pro duct analyzed. The process in volved an analysis of each in gredient to besure they could be sold, and to clear Leadham for a license. Leadham’s salad dressing serves a dual purpose of not only a dressing for greens but also does wonders for meats as a marinade. After advice from a food broker on specialty I WAS ALWAYS trying it out on friends and then it came to a point people said items, Leadham ended up with don t change it.

Board looks at elimination of sports travelling funds The College Board of Education approved a non credit tuition increase and waived tuition for student directors of non-credit com munity performance groups at last Wednesday’s meeting. The non-credit class tui tion increase will raise tuition from 85 cents to 95 cents per credit hour for all non-credit classes. Referring to the perfor mance group waiver,'Dr. Ron Kaiser, administrative dean of instructional services said, “I think we’ll get a lot more in volvement if we do this.” The waiver will take effect summer term. It includes music depart ment non-credit classes. Following the recognition of the 11 members of the Col lege’s track team who will be competing in the nationals this weekend, faculty represen tative to the Board, Les Tipton brought up the topic of the discontinuance of sending Col lege athletes to national com petitions to save funds. The cut was proposed at a recent Oregon Community College Association President’s meeting. Tipton reminded the Board that it still isn’t toojate to revise the proposal, and keep the revision committee aware of where the College stands. College President John Hakan- son agreed with Tipton that the College should not discontinue national competition. An athletic subcommittee made up of Board members, Ralph Groener, Larry Wright and Roger Rook, has been looking into the matter. Wright said if athletes were no longer permitted national travel, it wouldn’t be fair for other departments to have it«” f Wright also stated, “If you are real good in one area, you’ll want to find out how good.” Groener said, “People who are successful are those who have met a challenge head on.” Groener feels by dropping national athletic com petition, college athletes will have this opportunity taken away from them. In other business, the Board approved a resolution creating skills competition scholarships. The resolution stated that winners of the skills competition held by the Col lege, with high school senior status, will receive a one-term tuition waiver.
