If you want a speedy synopsis of the
INside Zone, here’s a preview of what
we’ ve got this month: pumpkin winners,
cash winners, twin boys, two
marathoners, special speakers, and
Accounting Office shifts.

To find out who’s a new father and who
ran in the Victoria Marathon, you'll have
to read on.

That’s a lot of pumpkin pies

English instructor Stephen Dunning
knows how to grow them big. After
mailing away to Nova Scotia for special
Giant Atlantic pumpkin seeds, Dunning
and his family grew a 460-pound orange
specimen which recently won top prize in
an Abbotsford giant pumpkin contest.
Stephen says it takes a sense of humor to
grow pumpkins competitively but admits
he’s got a long way to go to capture the
Canadian title; Herman Bax of Brockville,
Ont. recently quashed the world record by
growing a 990 pounder.

Double-good news

Congratulations to Phys Ed’s Alan Chin
who says he had to buy a minivan after
his wife, Anne, gave birth to twin boys on
October 5. Michael and David both
weighed in at seven pounds and join
sisters Elisabeth and Rebecca.

The art of speaking

Congratulations to Irene Griswold of
Commerce and Business who recently
won the New Westminster district prize in
the ongoing Canada Day Speech Contest.
Winners will also compete in regional
districts which culminate with a national
winner speaking from Parliament Hill on
Canada Day. Irene is a member of
Douglas College Toastmasters which
meets regularly on campus; for more
information contact her at 527-5457.

Marathon efforts

After months of training, Steve Norris of
Student Services wasn’t going to let a flu

LONE

bug stop him from running in his first
marathon on October 9. It wasn’t easy, but
Norris did complete the 26-mile tour of
Victoria, as did Patti Romanko of the
library. The event attracted more than
1,400 entrants.

Hurray for Ray

Ray Fournier snapped the two-month
winning streak of Karen Maynes by
capturing the cash in the latest 60/40 draw.
Ray earned a payday of $532.80 while
$355.20 was contributed to student aid.

Personnel moves
As Karen Smith moves to her new home
in Nanaimo, Dean Jansen of the
bookstore moves into her position of
Accounts Receivable/Cashier Clerk. Ryan
Hill moves into Dean’s position of
Shipper/Receiver.

The Maple Leaf flag and red and white balloons were the order of the day on
October 4 as Registrar’s Office personnel celebrated the new Canadian citizenship
