Malaspina College hosted the B.C.
Badminton Championships on March
11. The tournament began with the
team cvents. Malaspina won their 4th
tournament of the season, and wrapped
up Ist place overall. BCIT finished
2nd, to solidify their 2nd place finish.
Douglas College, although finished 4th
in the tournament, held on to 3rd place
-- | point ahead of VCC.

In the 2nd half of the tournament, in-
dividual events were played to decide
the B.C. team going to the Nationals.
The men's singles went as expected
with Peter Chen of VCC defeating
Fred Smith of Douglas to win the gold,
thus giving Fred the silver. Ladies
singles were won by Britt Sundberg of
Malaspina, with Salimah Adatia win-
ning the Bronze for Douglas. Ladies
doubles were won by BCIT, whose
it upset the #1 ranked Malaspina

ronzc. Men’s doubles were won by
the Malaspina duo of Garth Tissington
and Desi Khoo. Douglas College was
represented by Darrin Legge and Brian
Robinson, who although failing to pick
up a medal, had their best tournament
of the season. The match of the day
was between the mixed doubles team
of Carrie Leung and Nathan Chin
(BCIT) vs. Paul Meyer and Kelley
Wong (Douglas). BCIT won in an
emotional three games, by scores of 8-
15, 15-13, 18-13. This match
produced the best badminton played by
any college all season.

Kelley Wong, without a doubt the most
valuable rookie in the colleges this
year, had an outstanding game. Kelley
can look forward to a brilliant career at
Douglas.

Paul Meyer finished off his Douglas
badminton career by playing his finest
badminton. He controlled the tempo of
the match, but in the end, didn’t
receive any of the breaks he and Kelley

deserved.
¢ match will remain in the players

and coaches memories for a long time.

Zimmerman Continued

 

college in general -- and its
resources are heavily burdened.

Zimmerman continues: "We
face some very serious decisions
in the department -- are there
limits to our growth? And what
direction are we taking?"

It promises to be an interest-
ing year for Zimmerman, who
has moved from a faculty posi-
tion to administration for six
months, then will move back to
faculty, give her a "taste of the
double-edge sword." Her ap-
pointment, she says, is her "first

 

flip" into administration.

She says what is especially ex-
citing is that there has never
been a chair in continuing educa-
tion; thus, there are no models
to follow. But she has a good-
humoured approach to the
challenges, and asks with a
laugh: "Where do you start?"

But all will go well, as she
firmly adds: "I’ve got a lot of
energy to put into it."
