ZONE

Welcome to 1994. The holidays have come and gone, and January looks
a little bleak from some angles. Not to worry: the winter solstice has
passed, and the days are getting longer. Also, the INside Zone got some
of your College colleagues to go on the record with New Year’s
resolutions. We suggest that, around about next July, you pull out this
newsletter and check on their progress.

New Year’s Resolutions

Chris Worsley, Accounting: “To retire early.”
Karen Maynes, Accounting: “To retire wealthy.”

Peter Greenwood, Administration: “To try to keep some of the resolutions |
made last year.”

John Blackwell, Computer Information Systems: “To be more productive,
and to do more with less.”

Brenda Jack, CP & S. “To spend more time on doing things for myself.”
Joyce Hunter, Financial Aid: “To be happy.”

Hal Gray, Print Futures. “To learn how to read incomprehensible memos so
I won’t feel out of place.”

Rita Marchioro, Student Services: “To exercise four times per week.”

Laurie Kenward, Health Information Services: “On behalf of one of my
students, that she would attend 50% more classes in the second semester than
she did in the first.”

Helen Clark, Library: “To be a good auntie. I just got a new nephew.”

Eleanore Nucho, Library: “To find out who’s been stealing my tooth-
brushes.” (???)

Paul Taylor, Chemistry: “To win the North American dragon racing champi-
onship again.”

Christine Unterthiner, Facilities: “To stop wearing bumt-out Christmas light
bulbs as earrings.”

Ray Fournier, Psychiatric Nursing: “To be nice to The Dragon, a.k.a.
Diane.”

We informally chose two of the best resolutions. Honourable mention goes to
Julie Roper, Therapeutic Recreation, who resolved: “To take fewer things
seriously, be sillier, ride more merry-go-rounds, eat more ice cream, and dance
more.”

The winner is Building Service Worker Bob Gordon, who simply resolved:
“To learn to appreciate what I’ve already got.”

Food for thought...

The Registrar’s Office did something a
little different for Christmas. Rather than
exchange gifts, Trish Angus and company
raised $100 for each of the two Douglas
College nursing students who lost all their
possessions in an October fire. Not only
that, they collected five boxes of food for
the Food Bank; they plan to continue
gathering food all year, and challenge other
College departments to do the same.

Alana does the Yucatan...

Alumni & Development Officer Alana
Frymire beat the December rain by touring
Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula with husband
Bill. They visited the Mayan ruins of
Chichen Itza, Palenque and Tulum,
snorkelled on the island of Cozumel, and
bagged rays on the beach at Playa del
Carmen.

Carol moves over...

Carol Leyland will move from her full-
time position as I-CARE coordinator to
take a position as the Learning Centre
Assistant beginning January 10.

Valerie to wed...
Academic Advisor Valerie Gobeil is going
to tie the knot with Chris Harder next
August. Congratulations!
