The old scoreboards were
starting to not work so well,
And it was getting hard to
find replacement parts when
something wore out, said
Austin Greene, director of
the Community Wellness Cen
ter. Things are much better
now, in terms of keeping
score at the Wellness Center
gym, thanks to a generous
contribution from Kah-Nee-Ta
High Desert Resort and
Casino.
Kah-Nee-Ta donated two
new scoreboards to the gym
nasium, one for each end of
the gym.
The boards are of the
Trans-Lux Fair-Play brand,
manufactured in Seattle.
They are a top quality
scoreboard, said Greene.
"Most any high school
gymnasium you go to has

these," he said.
The board information is
controlled by remote control,
whereas the old boards relied on
wiring. Also, the control panel
for the new boards is much
more compact and less cumber

The new scoreboards were
hoisted into place last week, On
hand for the event were
Greene, Scott Moses of Kah-Nee-Ta,
and Andy Leonard,
of the Community Wellness
Center.

orities for the CDC.
On January 27 the CDC
