Local Sonic
survives first
round of
competition
Let's talk about fierce com-
petition, grueling hours and ex-
tensive testing of skills and
knowledge. Teams compete
against each other for months
on end to prove that they are the
smartest, the most enduring and
have what it takes to beat out
the competition. No, we're not
talking about the latest Survivor
series.
This is a real-life competi-
tion - with real food - served
real fast. And the local Sonic
Drive-In is proving it has what
it takes to survive.
The Sonic located at 1202
N. Main St. continues to survive
in the 2001 Dr. Pepper Sonic
Games. The Games started in
March with more than 1,800
Sonic Drive-Ins across the na-
tion participating. The compe-
tition has been narrowed down
to the top third in each region
and only 600 Sonic Drive-Ins
remain in the Games. Each
drive-in is judged on several
factors throughout the compe-
tition, but one very important
aspect of the judging stems
from "mystery shop" scores.
"If a Sonic Drive-In has ad-
vanced this far in the Games, it
shows that the crew members
are motivated and take pride in
their work," said Ken Keymer,
President and chief operating
officer of Sonic Corp. "From
here, the competition heats up
as the top 10 Sonics in the na-
tion are selected to compete at
the National Competition in Las
Vegas September."
Drive-Ins that have accumu-
lated the highest overall scores
are flown to the National Finals
to compete for more than
$5,000 in cash prizes, the
chance to be named National
Champions and to be recog-
nized on stage at Sonic's Na-
tional Convention in San Diego.

Experience the rewards of
hosting an exchange student
eager to live daily life in
America. These students are
participants in the Freedom
Support Act/FLEX scholarship
program, conceived by former
Senator Bill Bradley and initi-
ated in 1993 by Congress for
students from the former Soviet
Union. Goals for the program
are to enable students to: (1)
gain an understanding of impor-
tant elements of a civil society;
(2) acquire the values and skills
that will enable them to serve
as agents for the transformation
of their home countries; (3) in-
teract with Americans and form
lasting ties; (4) develop an ap-
preciation for the American cul-
ture; and (5) teach Americans
about the cultures of their home
countries.
These carefully screened stu-
dents are selected from a wide
cross-section of students from
the 12 countries that make up
the former Soviet Union. Each
student's English ability is ex-
cellent & the scholastic achieve-
ments are above average.
Students will arrive for the
2001-02 school year. They are
sponsored by World Heritage
Student Exchange, a non-profit,
public benefit organization. Stu-
dents are fully insured and re-
ceive a monthly allowance for
personal expenses. Couples,
single parents, and families with
or without children at home are
all encouraged to apply.

ference in the world of a young
person from the former Soviet
Union, please contact Katrina at
