Words of Appreciation for Sue Carter Sue Carter, a much-beloved

librarian, retired this month after 19 years in the College . Sue's commitment and dedication in introducing students to the many facets of the information world were always highly evident in her Reference Desk work. Her most basic concern was to provide students with the research skills they could carry through the rest of their academic and professional lives. Her warm smiles, sunny personality and indefatigable energy will be missed. The world is yours, Sue! - George Modenesi

Sue Carter started at the College in 1969 when it was only one-year old, had about 900 students and was housed in a two-storey portable on the grounds of West Vancouver Senior Secondary on Mathers Street.

So Sue has seen the development of Cap from its infancy and tells wonderful stories of the days when the whole faculty, staff and administration could fit in someone's back garden for a swim and BBQ. Now

Sue Carter: students' ally

we'd be lucky to fit the whole of Student & Instructional Services in anyone's back garden! Sue tells stories of "Blackberry", the library cat, who very strangely changed sex once Sue adopted him (her as it turned out) and stories of the great flood of 1971.

Through these years, Sue has been best known and loved as the students' friend and ally, famous for never

leaving a question unanswered or an avenue explored. In fact, on her last day at the Reference Desk, Sue followed through in her usual manner. At 10:45 p.m. she phoned a staff member at home when she remembered the answer to her query. It was a bit unnerving for that person to hear, "methylhydrate, methylhydrate" chanted in an unrecognized voice at bed time, but as usual, Sue had found the answer.

Having two sons ofher own, Sue relates well to students, making them feel at ease in the library and bolstering their confidence to continue with their studies. Over the years there have been hoards of students who have confided in Sue and relied on her for advice and encouragement. As one of the staff so aptly expressed it, "Sue is a well of concern for young people which never runs dry."

Thank you, Sue, from all ofus for almost 20 years of great service and great example. We speak for the students also when we say we will miss you. - Pat Biggins

Martin attended classes with Mike Cairns in ABE, whom he considers " ... a great teacher, one of the best. He encouraged me and taught me logical thinking." Capilano College was the first in a series of institutions for Martin; he studied Electrical Technology at BCIT and Kwantlen College, then moved to Ontario to attend Lakehead University's courses in Electrical Engineering. Martin has returned to Vancouver for a summer job as a Bio-Medical Engineer at Vancouver ~neral Hospital. To keep in trim, he is taking an economics course at UBC.

ADVANCED SOCCER CAMP Got a kid who's dying to kick something around this summer? Capilano

College is offering an advanced soccer camp for boys and girls aged 9 - 13. The camps are five days long and run throughout July and August for mornings or afternoons depending on the sex of your child. The budding soccer stars will refine their personal dribbling, shooting, heading, shielding, and defending skills, and work on player interaction and team tactics.

Specialized team coaching is also offered, whereby an entire team can be coached as a unit throughout the course. Camp staff coaches work with the team coach in this effective training approach.

Camps feature video-assisted coaching, guest appearances by National team players, shorts and a T-shirt for each player, a personalleather soccer ball to train with, and the College's excellent facilities.
