STUDENT EARNS GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE AT VICA OLYMPICS

Pauline Ruhl-Cain served up a gold-medal meal at the VICA state skills Olympics held recently in Warrensburg, Mo.

Ruhl-Cain earned a gold medal in culinary arts. She won a silver medal for her test score in another competition and won a bronze medal in the quiz bowl contest. She is the first Cape Girardeau vocational student to bring home all three medals.

Her first place finish qualifies her to compete at the national competition June 25-July 2 in Kansas City. The winners at that competition go on to international competition in Brussels, Belgium.

Also earning medals at the competition were Sheila Darby, who got the silver in commercial baking, and Rick Garza, who earned a bronze for culinary arts.

Teachers Jon Story and Mary Ann Pensel were sponsors for the contest.
