INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / March 3, 1992

 

The Inside Zone

by Carillon

The Winter Olympics are over,
and so, apparently, is winter in
general. It’s spring, the time when
thoughts of the young at heart
turn to love (and baseball). Here
are some fair weather tales that
have sprung to our attention
recently.

Who says all the fun was in
Albertville?

Just because the Olympics are
over doesn’t mean that the spirit
of competition is gone. For those
of you keeping score, there are
four new babies and three preg-
nancies in the Library, which ties
them for the lead with the Depart-
ment of Child, Family and
Community Studies in the Baby
Olympics at seven. Leading the
Library charge are Interlibrary
Loans/Deliquencies Assistant Lisa
Desai, expecting her first child this
July, and Librarian Sandra
Hochstein, expecting her first in
May. Yeah team! And before we
book out of the Library, congratula-
tions to Collection Control
Assistant Laurel Klassen on her
new house and on her upcoming
wedding this July.

It couldn’t have happened to a
nicer person...

Departmental Assistant Barb Sek-

Okay, that’s good. Now smile...

hon, the latest winner of the
Foundation’s 60/40 draw, is
$145.60 richer. Barb plans to blow
her winnings buying big presents
for herself. Way to go, Barb.

I need a vacation...

Mexico seems to be the vaca-
tion spot of choice for local
mental health experts. Psychiatric
Nursing Instructor John Crawford
has just come back from Puerto
Vallarta, and heading down to
take his place is colleague Carey
Boreham. Psychiatric Nursing In-
structor Anna Helewka is opting
for a Caribbean cruise starting off
in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Also, we
happen to know that Douglas Col-
lege Board Chairman Myrna
Popove is island-hopping in the
Caribbean.

Wrestling coach Dave McKay
and D.C. wrestler Walter McLean
will soon be spending two weeks
in pre-Olympic matches in Cuba
and Mexico with the Canadian
Wrestling Team. McLean is hoping
to qualify for the Barcelona Olym-
pics this summer. Also heading
down to Mexico, although as far
as we know not for wrestling, is
the PIO’s Graphic Designer
Marilyn Attwood. Moving in a dif-
ferent direction is Women’s
Centre Coordinator Liz Wilson,
who’s spending three weeks in
Greece soaking up the culture and
sun. And just back from Hawaii is
the Library’s Circulation Super-
visor Corrie Epp.

That boy can sing...

John Trottier, 22, past D.C.
theatre student and present univer-
sity transfer student, has been cast
in the Fraser Valley Gilbert &
Sulllivan Society production of
Ruddigore, the Witch’s Curse, a
light-hearted family operetta, in
May at the Surrey Arts Centre.
Trottier has just finished playing
the lead in a production of Sing A
Song of Sixpence there. His

 

 

 

 

 

On-Site Engineer Wayne Lynch,
the friendly guy who has been
looking after heating, ventilating
and air-conditioning on campus
for the past seven years, has
been named 1991 Employee of
the Year by his employer, Landis
& Gyr Powers, Ltd.

 

Douglas College credits include
Guys and Dolls (1990), Inherit the
Wind (1989), and Kiss Me Kate
(1988).

Busy or what...

Learning Resources Director
Virginia Chisholm advises us that
Monday, Feb. 24, was the
Library’s busiest day ever, with
1,343 items circulated. She says
that five years ago, 400 items
would have been a big day. The
ability to handle the increased cir-
culation is due to automation and
a great staff.

See you on St. Patrick’s Day! a
