This is surely one of
the few places in the world

where you can leave for work in

a light snowfall and return the same day to
the sound of humming neighborhood lawn
mowers. Anyway, that kind of shift can
only mean we are finally marching into
spring. Soon we will be churning up the
garden, cleaning out apartments, washing
windows, preparing

tax returns and
cramming for
Stanley Cup
playoff pools.
To give youa brief _
escape from ee
all that extra work,
here’s the latest
from the Zone.

Honeymoon in Las Vegas...
Congratulations to Administration
receptionist Sherry Chan, who recently
became engaged and will be married this
spring. Sherry and fiance Bryan
Crowther will jet down to Las Vegas and
plan to take their vows in one of the new
mega-hotels, such as the Mirage or
Treasure Island. Sherry plans to spend
more time at theme parks than at the
tables, and adds she isn’t sure if they’ll
have time to visit the Liberace Museum.

Born to run...

With nine confirmed entrants to date, the
Douglas College Library will be well
represented at the Vancouver Sun Run on
April 17. Runners will cover a
10-kilometre distance which begins at the
Hotel Vancouver, heads down to Stanley
Park and then ends at the Plaza of
Nations. Lacing on shoes and sporting
College colors on their custom t-shirts will
be: Jean Cockburn, Virginia Chisholm,
Penny Swanson, Teresa Kenkel,
Eleanore Nucho, Lisa Baer, Catherine
Doll, Helen Clarke and Patti Romanko.

   
  

Cheering in Lethbridge...

Assistant Registrar Brenda Walton and
her husband Bob were two of the
family-connection fans who were rooting
for the College’s men’s basketball team as
they earned a silver medal at CCAA
nationals March 15-18 in Lethbridge.
Brenda’s son, Scott was selected the
Royals’ player-of-the-game in the final. In
all, seven family members of Royals’
players made the trip to Alberta.

Theatre kudos...

Congrats to the Theatre and Stagecraft
departments on the success of their recent
production of Alice in Wonderland. With
spectacular sets and costumes, the play
attracted very popular response and
several sold-out performances in the
Performing Arts Theatre. Some of the
faculty and staff contributing to the magic
included: Cheryl Matheson (production
supervisor), Heather Kent (production
manager), Scott MacDonald (technical
director), Brian Pratt (carpentry
supervisor), Lyndia Stefiuk (costume
supervisor) and Drew Young (production
stage manager). The play also featured the
talents of Douglas College students and
Vancouver director Michael Fera,

lighting director Gerald King costume/set
designer Pear! Bellesen.

The shows must go on...

Just because Theatre’s Dorothy Jones
and Music’s Henry Waack have retired,
it certainly doesn’t mean they have
stopped working. After staging a musical
revue called Try To Remember last May,
the duo are now staging the musical The
Fantasticks from May 6-8 at the
Performing Arts Theatre. The show will
benefit the Performing Arts Scholarship
Fund.

Rossell presents awards...

Just before her appointment as the new
Director of the Thomas Haney Centre,
Co-op Education Coordinator Marian
Rossell presented special scholarship
awards to Damaris Sargent and Erica
Ikari. The awards were presented on
behalf of the Canadian Information
Processing Society (CIPS) at ceremonies
on March 7.

Employee moves...

Anne Dijk is acting as a Financial Aid
Assessor, replacing Joyce Hunter, who is
away on medical leave. &
