INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / October 29, 1991 Women urged to make the call | t’s time more women wore the stripes in the sports family, says Betty Lou Hayes. The Director of Athletics for Douglas College has helped organize aclinic to inform women about opportunities in sports officiating. Co-sponsored by Douglas College and several B.C. sports officiating bodies, the clinic called You Make The Call runs Nov. 1-3. "TI think this is important because there are very few women in officiat- ing, and virtually none at the top levels. It’s time for women to get involved," says Hayes. "There are now opportunities for women in this area, and there are people who will help them take advantage of it, but it’s up to women to have the desire do it." Becoming a referee, says Hayes, provides women with another way in which they can participate in athletics. And besides, unlike most amateur coaches and athletes, officials get paid. Sessions will be hosted by four top North American women officials. Oregon’s Bonnie Rae Anderson is one of the top softball umpires.in the U.S., qualified to officiate at Olympic and Pan American levels. New Westminster’s Devona Adams is regarded as B.C.’s finest female bas- ketball referee, having officiated at three national championships. Janice Deakon of Kingston, Ont. is the first Canadian woman licensed to referee international basketball. Debbie Jackson of Edmonton is one of the country’s top female volleyball officials. Registration takes place from 8pm-10pm on November 1, with workshops from 9am-Spm on November 2-3. Cost for the weekend, including Friday’s pre-clinic social, is $25.
