Manage For A Day
Youth Prepare To Lead
Future Of Winn Dixie
By JIM HEFFNER
How many times have you heard someone say, "If I
were the boss things would be different around here?"
Six young people had the opportunity to live that
fantasy on Saturday, April 22, as Winn Dixie held its
first Youth Management Day.
The six, Marty Lockridge, Ernie Hamrick, Brian
Webster, Chip Parker, Eric Willis and Stacy Goode,
ran the local food market from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., per-
forming all the functions of the Location Manager as
well as the department heads necessary to manage an
operation of that scope.
Regular location Manager, J.V. Bolin, a 39-year vet-
eran with Winn Dixie, enjoyed the exercise immense-
ly. "It's fun," he said, "but it's also an opportunity to
evaluate some of our employees. We rotate people to
all departments in our store. Generally, an employee
spends about 12 weeks in each department so by the
time they have made the rounds, they're pretty well
trained in every facet of managing a location.”
Marty Lockridge and Ernie Hamrick split the 8 hour
shift as Location Manager while the departments were
managed by Brian Webster in the meat market, Chip
Parker in produce,. Eric Willis handled dairy and
frozen foods and Stacy Goode acted as deli and bakery
manager.
Goode is a distributive education student and ac-
quired her job at Winn-Dixie as part of that program.
The 18-year-old plans to attend Gaston College and
study computer programming. She sees Youth
Management Day as a "valuable learning experience.”
Brian Webster, also eighteen, is already a student at
Gaston College where he is enrolled in the pre-liberal
arts program. "I think an activity like this is a good
way to learn responsibility," he said.
"I want to use this time to learn to tell my boss what
to do," said Chip Parker. Parker is a high school junior
who has been with Winn-Dixie for eleven months. He
is considering a career with the U.S. Postal Service.
“Seriously,” he said. "Today's experience will be fun,
but I think we'll all learn something."
Eric Willis, another junior, is planning to enter the
Air Force upon graduation. He's been with Winn-Dixie
for a year and a half and he believes the entire tempo-
rary management team will have gained something
from the special day.
Ernie Hamrick, a Kings Mountain High School se-
nior enjoys the feeling of power. "I'm going to try to
get as much out of it as I can” he said. "I want to learn
to be a good Location Manager."
Marty Lockridge, the veteran of the crew having
worked for Winn-Dixie for two years and four months,
want to learn the ins and outs of being a Location man-
ager. "I'll more than likely make this my career,” he
said. "One day I'll wear this manager's vest permanent-
ly." As a hedge, though, Marty plans to study criminal
justice and police science in college.
The Youth Management Day participants were se-
lected by a committee comprised of local department
managers as well as J.V. Bolin. They are chosen be-
cause of management potential, desire and overall job
skills. "They have all the necessary ingredients," said
Bolin. "They perform well in their everyday jobs, they
have ability and initiative, but most of all they like
people and that's what it takes to be a manager at
Winn-Dixie."
Bolin is quick to point out that his store is blessed
with potential managers. "We could have staffed the
store many times over," he said.
Youth Management Day is a unique idea and Winn-
Dixie plans to make it an annual event. It's very likely
that, at least in the case of Winn-Dixie, tomorrow's
food store executives are bagging groceries today.
GOOD NEWS-KMSHS Principal Jackie Lavender and Joel Rountree, faculty chairman, right,
are congratulated by Culver Dale, chairman of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools visiting
committee on accreditation, after he and a visiting committee announced that the high
school had met all expectations for membership in the accrediting agency for high schools in the South.
The accreditation team visits the high school every 10 years.
