Off-campu s childcare subsidized
by KELLEY EG RE
Torch Managing Editor

A small group of LCC student parents and staff are feeling a new elation in their search
for child care solutions, because
of a new off-campus child care
subsidizing policy they created.
Due to monies earned from
the new $5 fee added to students' incidental costs this year,
child care coordinators have
been able to look at the new
option for student parents.
"A lot of the money received
through the fees has gone to

help pay for the modular building ASLCC is putting on campus (for a child care center),"
says LCC Director of Activities
Barbara Delansky.
But the modular building
won't be in place until winter
term and not all student parents
will be able to use the child care
facilities on campus, and will be
forced to look elsewhere.
According to Delansky, because many of these students
can't afford off-campus child
care, LCC child care directors
formulated a rough policy for
an off-site subsidy program.
During the Oct. 8 meeting,

the Parent Board, a group of
child care associates and parents, met to draft a policy and
discuss its content.
According to Delansky. the
money to be offered to student
parents through the policy will
most likely be available to students attending LCC part or fulltime.
"We want to treat everyone
as fairly as possible. So, there
will be some criteria students
will have to meet," says Delansky. "We're not going to give
money to someone who comes

One of LCC 's original employees, died early Thursday,
Oct. 3, from respiratory arrest.
Evelyn Tennis, who had worked at LCC since one
month before its opening
in 1964, had suffered
from emphysema and
other health problems.
For over 20 years,
Tennis spent her time at
LCC as an administrative assistant in Student
Activities, a secretary,
and financial aid staff
person. She also helped
found the LCC Employees Federation (the classified staff union), and
Evelyn Tennis
served as LCCEF president for four years.
She was named LCC Outstanding Classified/Support
Staff Person for the 1984-85 academic year. Tennis retired
in 1986, at age 65.
"It's kind of hard to say just one thing about her because
she did so many things for so many people," says friend
Jerry Sirois, advisor and current president of the LCCEF. .
"She is part of the foundation of this college ... if there was
a student in dire need, she would advocate for that person.
She provided funds for food or rent for students - often out
of her own pocket, and she didn't have much."
Former Student Activities Director Jay Jones says,
"Evelyn probably touched more lives than anyone at LCC,
including mine. She could be mother, sister, or best friend
to people, it seemed natural for her." Jones and Tennis
worked closely together for 15 years in Student Activities.
"Not only were we co-workers, but we were very close
friends," he says.
In an Oct. 10, 1985 interview with Torch Editor Karen
Irmsher, Tennis said "Having been with the college from
the beginning has given kind of a proprietary feeling about
Lane. I feel as though it's my college."

'Sick Building Syndrome' pervade s LCC
by JOE HARWOOD
Torch Editor

all phrase known as "sick building syndrome."

Editors note: This is the second installment of three articles examining LCC' s
welding lab and the phenomena known
as "sick building syndrome."
Picture a college building with an industrial-applications lab on the bottom
floor, and faculty and staff in offices
directly above. Imagine those same second floor workers complaining about the
odors and fumes making them sick.
Imagine the administration testing the air
but finding no hazardous substances, yet
employees can't understand why they
are always ill.
Employees complaining about health
problems due to the air in LCC buildings
are perhaps representative of a growing
national attentiveness to a generic, catch-

Employee complaints include many
common symptoms ranging from headaches and dizziness, to nausea and fatigue.
However, when the institutions at
which they work test the buildings usually air sampling to monitor trace
contents of specific fume and contaminant levels - they learn the results repeatedly meet federal and state health
guidelines.
Usually, employee complaints are
often dismissed as psychosomatic or
emotional. Having no physical evidence
proving the existence of harmful contaminants or noxious fumes, employees
are forced to endure a potentially unsafe
workplace.

North Idaho College in Coeurd' Alene
is currently involved in a situation similar to LCC's. Employees and students
located on the second floor of the college's

" noxious intake from
an allegedly clean
environment "
.1.edlund Vocational Building - where
industrial applications from welding to
auto-body repair take place - are complaining from headaches, nausea, and
dizziness.
One woman died from brain cancer,
allegedly as a result of working on
Hedlund's second floor.
But air quality tests conducted over
the last three years do not indicate that

fumes at North Idaho College are at a
harmful level.
LCC also conducted many air quality
tests, finding contaminants at acceptable
levels.
Nevertheless, North Idaho College has
spent over $56,000 since 1988 to test the
building's air quality and revamp ventilation systems. Yet, the complaints still
persist.
The building is currently closed for
renovations, including the cleaning of
ceiling tiles and the replacement of ventilation filters. The same type of improvements took place at LCC in 199091.
Steven Deutsch, a U of O sociology
professor studying the phenomena, says

W,"'

Exislence was given us for aciion. Our worlh is delermined
by the. good deeds we do, rather Lhan by the fine emolions we
feel.-E. l. Magoon.
The recent passing of former LCC employee Evelyn Tennis brings to mind all of the times people speak, but do not
follow those words with actions. Her life epitomized the word
action - charitable action.
Her actions during life brought an outpouring of sympathy
and respect at her death by peers who remember her as one
willing to lend a hand to anyone who asked. Tennis didn't sit
on her hands and think about action, she simply followed
through with whatever needed doing.
Called a mother to some, a best friend to others, her unique
personality influenced everyone who came in contact with her
in many different, yet positive ways.
Tennis seemed to personify the cliche that one individual
can make a difference.
These days, indifference seems to be the only action people
seem comfortable with. When faced with a problem, individuals are quick to criticize, but slow to offer realistic
alternatives or solutions.
Here at the Torch, we see it all. We get plenty of people
coming in with gripes and bitches concerning issues not only
at LCC, but the rest of the state and nation as well. These irate
humans often only complain about financial aid, LTD bus
pass prices, tuition rates, or some other personal agenda.
While it is our job to address public concerns, especially on
campus, the expectation that media will solve the problem by
simply publishing it is ludicrous.
After all, as Evelyn Tennis' life shows, actions speak a hell
of a lot louder than words.
The apathetic attitude on this campus is incredible especially since the people of Eugene consider themselves
such political activists. Where do the complaints come? To
the media.
Reporting a situation to the media makes for a good start,
but not an ending. Don't pass the buck. Follow through with
appropriate action. If you, as an individual can't take the
initiative for action on an issue that makes your blood boil, sit
down and shut up.
Evelyn Tennis had the energy to follow through, do you?
Have a nice day.

Question of the week: What was your initial
reaction to the first week of school?

J~iff!l!tf,..~~;~~!
Gerry Getty
"Surviving the bookstore was
frustration to say the least. The lines
wer jammed. I only needed to buy one
book for the only class I have. I chose
the shortest line and charged my book 15
minutes later."

Eric Walstrom
"The ping pong drop was the most
memorable ... Watching people go for it
was very entertaining. I even caught a
few ping pong balls. I just kind of stood
there and let them fall into my hand.
Alot of people were walking around with
mud on their knees and butt's from
falling down."

Caleb LaFountain
"My suggestion for future activities
of the first week of next term: would be
to give everybody a prize for registering.
Registration takes a lot of time and
money."

Deborah Stotler
"My experiences were overshadowed
by my disappointment with the tuition
increase. Paying for each credit means
more money and more classes, however,
I think education should be free. The
military budget is escalating! I see no
benefit in teaching kids to kill, and cleat
toilets."

Aimee Suiter
"The thing that affected me most
during opening week was the excitement
of seeing so many new people."

Kim Challis-Roth
"The overllow parking crunch totally
amazed me Monday morning. The
securtiy guards kept waiving my car
through until I practically ended up
parking in the goat pasture (east of
campus)! I almost had to take the bus
from my car to my first class."

Holland isn't the only student
to benefit from CWE. According to Bob Way, department head
of Cooperative Education, LCC
has the largest work experience
program in the country among
community colleges, and ranks
fourth among all colleges in the
country because of the large
number of students involved.
LCC's program has 2000 students [at the present time], he .
says, compared to the "average"
program, which averages about
106 students.
''This college is kind of open
to ... [the] fact that education
can take place at locations other
than the classroom."
Not only is LCC's program
among the largest in the country,
says Way, it is recognized as a
model programforothercolleges

LCC has cancelled a new program in laboratory training because
of difficulties in meeting state requirements and deadlines, and
because of an apparent lack of interest by prospective students.
"Lab Tech" was intended to be a vocationally oriented two-year
Associate of Applied Science Degree designed to prepare students
for entry-level positions in laboratories where sophisticated equipment is used. The LCC Science Department hoped to prepare
students for work in food production quality control; wood products, adhesives and coatings research and development facilities;
water and waste water laboratories; and at other environmental
testing sites.
"It would have been the only program of its kind in the state of Oregon," says Tom Wayne, chair of the department. Lab Tech was a
pilot project last year with an enrollment of three people.
Due to low enrollment this year, just eight people, and because of
LCC's need to justify costs, the college will conduct a market analysis to determine what kind of jobs are available in this area. It will
also investigate the possibility of funding from other sources.
"We need to try these things," says Jim Ellison, vice president of
the Office oflnstruction. "At the same time we need to make viable
choices."
Ellison and Wayne said other obstacles cited were non-transferrable credits, low salary range for graduating students ($15,000 to
$18,000), and limited job placement.

who do not.
Way also says that students
with CWE jobs have a higher
rate of staying in programs than
students who do not participate.
Dr. Shirley Gregory, a professor at Oregon State University, told CWE faculty in September that her research shows
that students with work experience jobs tend to get better
grades.
Way agrees, saying that students who get career experience
get "turned on to the classroom,"
wanting to do better.
Both Holland and Way recommend that every student enrolled with a major should participate in CWE.
"It's well worth it," she says.

LCC delegates head up conference
By MICHAEL OMOGROSSO
for the Torch
In the middle of August ASLCC President Ernie
Woodland, ASLCC Treasurer Rachel Lindsey, ASLCC
Senator Steven Bowers and, and I joined about 300 other
students at the 44th United States Students Association
Congress (USSA) at the University of WisconsonMilwaukee campus. We the students, went to meeting
after meeting, listened to speakers, and developed resolutions and platform stances we hoped the general body
would approve and take action on. For me, it was a quite
a educational experience, as I am sure the rest of LCC '~
delegation would agree.
Of particular note was the election to the USSA
Board of Ernie Woodland by virtue of his election as the
Community College Caucus chair. Rachel Lindsey was
chosen as representative for the Northwest Region.
While Lane has had USSA Board representation in the
past, this is the first time two people from Lane will
serve on it simultaneously.
Getting together to discuss problems and success is
what organizations like USSA and ASLCC are all
about. Perhaps, though, the most significant purpose to
send your student leaders to this kind of functions to
inspire and train them to come back and inspire and train
you in empowerment - is to give you the tools and
motivation to get involved on campus and in the community, as well as nationally.

According to MaurerClemons, the elevators are great,
except for people in wheelchairs.
For example, there is a key
control to the south elevator in
the Center Building, and a
couple of her students had
trouble reaching the key because
they had trouble raising their

Something Maurer-Clemons
is really impressed with on campus is a PE program specifically
designed for disabled students.
She says that her students are at
LCC most of the day, five days
a week, which can be quite tiring for a handicapped individual.
"Their PE classes offer
muscle relaxation, a whirlpool,
and a variety of strength exercises," she says. "Without this
program, my students wouldn't
survive the day."
But even the PE program has
a fault.
"It doesn't run all summer,
and my students need it," she
says.
"It's not like we don't have
anything great here on campus,"
Maurer-Clemons. "Things are
changing and this is a great campus that treats all students fairly,
we just need to be a little more
sensitive to their (disabled
student's) needs."

Small Business Center receives grant funds
by SONJA TAYLOR
Torch Staff Writer
The Oregon Small Business Development Center
Network (OSBDCN) has received a $200,000 grant
from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The grant, one of only six giyen this year, will help
to develop a program that will provide small businesses
with direct access to database information and technical
experts.
Sarah La Master, LCC Title ill grant coordinator,
was the author of the grant proposal. The National
InstituteofStandardsandTechn ology,locatedinMaryland, awarded the money to help OSBDCN develop the
Oregon Technology Access Program.
The program's services will be available this fall or
early in the new year. According to Assistant State
Director of OSBDCN Christine Krygier, once the pro-

gram is set up, small businesses will be able to access
information they need quickly and inexpensively . For
example, they can use it to find out if a product they want
to produce is already on the market, or is being <level-

to get information. She explained," If you are a small

Former Torch member
remembered with humor
Robert Frederick Waite, former TORCH reporter and founder of
the annual April Fool's Day SCORCH, died June 14 from a selfinflicted wound. He was 39.
An LCC student between fall of 1977 and spring of 1979, he
continued his studies in journalism at the U of 0. He was employed
for several years by Lane County.
In writing the obituary in The Register-Guard, his wife, Meg
Rowles, said "He would want these words written in the classic
journalistic style of the inverted pyramid ...
"His life ... followed many roads ... The pursuit of the truthfully
written word took him down his favorite path."
One of his best friends at the TORCH, 1979-80 Editor Sarah
Jenkins, now the city editor of the Newport Daily News in Rhode
Island admired Waite's humor and intelligence. "My strongest
memory is of Bob and Frank Babcock sitting in either of the small
offices we used, chuckling over the computer as the rest of us
.
worked at putting the paper out."
Jenkins, Babcock, and Waite used a National Lampoon newspaper parody as a model for the April Fool's SCORCH. "I don't know
that any of the stories those two wrote - or dreamed up - would
strike anyone else as funny 12 years later, but they still make me
smile." said Jenkins.
She remembers stories about a cloning experiment that went
disastrously wrong in the Science Department, and a murder investigation of TORCH Editor Steve Myers.
Myers, now the Bureau Chief of the San Ramon (Cal.) Valley
Times, also remembers Waite's "irrepressible and sometimes irreverent humor. Anything was fair game. He'd remind us that in the
greater scheme of things the immediate moment didn't matter
much. So humor was always good."
"What made Bob so funny, though," adds Jenkins, "was not just
his wit, bu this intelligence. He introduced me to National Radio and
Garrison Keillor, as well as untold numbers of books that I still
cherish. He found humor in everything- and anything- because
he was interested in everything and anything, from the most
cerebral to the most mundane."
TORCH News and Editorial Adviser Pete Peterson says "Waite's
charm, wit, hunger for knowledge and his good will made him a
magnet in the office. Bob was a brilliant guy. And he cared deeply
about his friends. "
His family asks that contributions in his honor be made to the
LCC Journalism Program, or the U of O Foundation.

already on the market, Krygier says, "Our people, who
are trained to put this information together, will directly
contact the databases and pull out the information that's
needed." In the past, it has taken expensive and time
consuming research for businesses to get this same
information.
In addition to the new program being assembled for
Oregon, the OTAP will have the resources of Tel Tech,
a large company in Minnesota. Tel Tech worked with
the original pilot program, which was also located in
Minnesota, and has built a company and service around
database and accessing.
OSBDCN is unsure where it will house the new
center, but will work closely with people from Central
Oregon Community College, who have been developing similar programs.

Rape prevention takes new identity in Lane County
,by KELLI J. RAY
Torch Staff Writer
In the latest reported rape case in Lane County, a 14year-old Springfield girl was raped and sodomized on
Sept. 27 while waiting at a LTD bus stop.

After fleeing, the girl was taken to McKenzie-Willamette Hospital in Springfield, and the sherriff's office
was notified. The sherriff's department has not identified a suspe~t in the case.
The Lane County Sheriff's office and Lane County
accordingly, will call area residents to a new organization which deals with sexual assaults.

The girl was waiting for a bus near Centennfal Boulevard and Anderson Lane at about 8 :30 p.m. when a
man approached her, according to a Lane County
Sherriff's news release. When she crossed the street to
get away, the man chased her, forced her to the ground,
and sexually assaulted and sodomized her, the release
said.

Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) is an
"identified, centralized agency providing a full range of
sexual-assault services. Thus, the opening of SASS will
fill a void created in part by the dissolution of the Sexual
Assault Resource Center (formerly the Rape Crisis
Network)inDecenber, 1990, accordingtoaSASSpress
release.
The agency lists several phone numbers to help
people cope with assaults and how to prevent them. It
provides two 24-hour crisis lines, (404-9795 and 4856700) and one long-distance line for those outside the
area (l-800-788-4727). SASS says there are several things women can do to
prevent rape, according to Amy Pincus, SASS's director. "Different kinds of rape happen under different
circumstances, so different actions will work," she says.
"First of all, always walk in well-lit areas, and while
you walk, project confidence and self assurance. Trust
your intuition and be aware of your surroundings," says
Pincus.

Students learning self-protection techniques.

If a stranger approaches, SASS advises women to
keep him off-guard. "Remember, most rapists plan their
rapes, and have an image of how the rape will go. Take
them by surprise! Ruin their image! says the agency.
"One young woman I know dropped down on all
fours, started chewing up grass and drooling green,"
says Pincus. "It worked! Herrapistranoff. Another way
to deal with it is to start screaming, 'I'm not going to let
you hurt me. I know who you are," according to Pincus.

In acquaintance rape - assaults by men who are
friends or are known by the victim - Pincus says "stick
with your NO! If he pursues you in a way that's uncomfortable to you, tell him that you will let his professor
know, and you will let all their friends know, etc.
"You need to do whatever you need to do to take care
of yourself," she says.
Paul Chase, Director of Campus Security, says there
have only been one or two assaults on campus within the
last calendar year.

student child care costs.
Child Care Coordinator
Franki Surcamp says the board
is trying to get parents involved
in the decision-making process.
"Unfortunately, we aren't
getting much response from parents," she says. "There are a
whole lot of people who want
child care on this campus, but
not a lot of people who want to
get involved, and if they don't
get what they want, they get
angry. So, the easiest thing todo
would be to get involved and
tell us what they want."
The group will meet again on
Oct. 10 to finish the report and
prepare to present it to the LCC
Board of Education.
Surcamp says between offcampus co-op's and the new
modular building scheduled to
be in place by winter term, student parents' •child care costs
will be reduced significantly.
"The pol icy we are finalizing
next week is a big change that
will take some getting used to,"
says Surcamp. "Whatever is
decided upon after we go to the
Board (of Education) is subject
to possible changes ... say the
figures aren't working out and
we have to give more or less to
students, then the policy could
change. but right now we 're
dealing with this term before

Surcamp says the purpose of
the modular building will be to
care for the students' children

needed for students who aren't

KLCC seeks support

by MICHELE WARREN
Torch Entertainment Editor

KLCCwillbeginitson-aircampaignfornewmembersand
membership renewal on Oct. 10 at 5 a.m. during the "Morning
Edition" news program.
KLCC, at 89 .7 FM, is broadcast from the LCC campus and
is the only National Public Radio (NPR) member station in the
Eugene-Springfield area. The station offers a variety of awardwinning programs including the call-in show "Live Wire"
with Alan Siporin, and "Northwest Passage" with Tripp
Sommer.
Beginning Oct. 7, KLCC will offer listeners additional
news programs and diversified news sources - including
Pacifica News and British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)
- to the weekday line-up.
According to Gayle Chisholm, KLCC marketing director,
the station relies on listener contributions for 27 percent of its
total operating budget. The Fall Radiothon goal is $89,700.
The remaining money for operating costs comes from LCC,
local businesses , and the government. A Spring Radiothon is
generally held in March.
KLCC offers premiums to pledgers. For a $45 pledge,
listeners can choose from T-shirts or coffee mugs displaying
different KLCC program themes. There are also several
community premiums offered by over 100 businesses including restaurant gift certificates, tickets to stage productions,
free professional housecleaning, and massages to name a few.
PaymenL installments can be arranged and payroll deduction
is available to LCC employees.
A special incentive is also possible in the pre-radiothon,
"Thonbuster Campaign". Anyone pledging before Oct. 10 is
eligible to enter a drawing for a Denon CD Player. Every
dollar received before Oct. 10 reduces the on-air goal of
Radiothon. The drawing will be held on the air during
Radiothon.
Volunteers are needed to help operate the four phone lines
during the radiothon. According to Chisholm, "Volunteering
for Radiothon is fun and crazy plus it sometimes includes
food."
The Radiothon will continue on the air until the goal is met.
Chisholm says the campaign generally runs for eight to twelve
days."
Meeting goal has never been a problem, KLCC listeners
have always shown good support during Radiothon."

Justin Stafford knew he wanted to work in the
theatre since he was in the third grade elmentary
school choir. Now , in his first year of college at LCC,
he has appeared in over 20 perfonnances - singing
, acting , and dancing - in the Lane County area and
he has his sights on special training in New York.
Stafford moved to the Femridge area three years
ago from Grants Pass and graduated from Elmira
High School last year. He started classes at LCC
summer term, majoring in music - studying music
history, Jazz Ensemble, Concert Choir, as well as
group and private voice classes.
Being involved in performing arts has helped
motivate him to help out in the community. "I like to
see what I can do to make a difference." He was
active in his high school student government, PT A,
and helped with fundraisers to improve the condition
of the high school.
Several colleges offered him scholarships - the
U ofO and the University of Kansas-- but he decided
to enroll at LCC to improve his technique and mature
before jumping into a large university.
"There is a lot of talent here in Eugene," he says.
''The Performing Arts Department is strong at LCC."
Although he is not currently involved with any
productions at LCC, Stafford is rehearsing the part of
the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Community
Children's Theatre production of "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood." He says the play, directed
by Celeste Rose, has a non-violent message for
solving problems. He also works as an intern at the
Eugene Festival of Musical Theatre, the organization which produces summer musicals at the Hult
Center.
His first introduction to dance came in 1988 when
he played the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz.
After that performance, with the director, he started
"Pizazz." a song and dance group for teenagers.

Performing in a musical can require three hours of
play practice and then at least five more hours of

singing practice in a day. "That's a lot of stress to put
on your voice." He has sung in several well known
musicals including "West Side Story", "Oliver", and
"The Sound of Music." He prefers romantic-dramatic
roles as opposed to comical, "The songs are much
better."

Oregon Student Activities Association Tenor State
Champion, the Springfield Filbert Festival, and the
Newport Jazz Festival talent competitions are just a
few of the awards he has won. He has scheduled an
audition at the Juliard School in New York in March.

LCC playwright goes national
by LYNN REA
Torch Staff Writer
Jerry Seifert's one act play "Fanclub," which
was produced not long ago at Cafe 131 in
Springfield, has recently been accepted for the
Festival of Plays, held during November, in
Seattle, Wash.
Only 30 new playwrights were chosen from
the entire Northwest, to be presented in "workshop" form, says Seifert. The plays are memorized and rehearsed, but do not contain all production values, such as lighting effects. A cast
and crew will be made up of professionals from
the Seattle area.
Seifert describes "Fanclub" as being very
much a comedy, with some serious tones to it.
The story revolves around a male character who
as a child, was abused by his father.
He leaves his wife and children in search of
his own identity and ultimately to deal with the
childhood fears he still has. At the same time, he
grapples with what it really means to be a man
in today's society.
In an attempt to confront his own past, he
moves to a "rough" neighborhood. Through a
series of meetings with some of the more colorful neighbors, and through personal introspection, he is able to conquer his feelings of anxiety
and pain.
Seifert says the play is based on his own
experiences as a child, and his dealing with
intimidation and abuse by his father.
"It terrorized me so much I never forgot it,"
he says. "But, there comes a point where you
,,,

..

.

"

have to get beyond your own personal issue. It's
now a theatre piece."
He says when dealing with uncomfortable
material he tends to write comedy. 'Tm an issue
person. It seems I can get my message across
easier if people are laughing."
Seifert began his academic career at San
Francisco State University, where he obtained
both his bachelor and master's degrees. He
earned scholarships in playwriting both as an
undergraduate and graduate student. He was
able to put his acting and teaching talents to
practical use in Portland, where he owned and
operated a cabaret theater for 10 years. Along
with well known plays the group was able to
produce several original scripts.
One outlet for Seifert's interests in scriptwriting here at LCC, has been the Playwright's
Ensemble theater, in which students are involved in a series of classes called "Writing For
Theatre." The two year program offers an intro
duction in the process of playwriting. Over the
summer several students chose to present their
work to the public.
"If it hadn't been for Jerry, I wouldn't be a
produced playwright," says past student Bjo
Ash will, "He's very supportive and understands
what it means to put your guts on paper."
In addition to further negotiations with the
festival in Seattle, Seifert is working on another
comedy, which he briefly describes as being
about four sets of lovers . He is also in the process
of casting for the upcoming production of Noel
Coward's play "Hay Fever," which begins November 15 and runs for two weekends.

LCC's Jerry Seifert in the spotlight once again.

Of the many people interviewed for this story, LCC 's Lori
Bell echoed many faculty and
staff feelings towards Tennis.
"She made each person she came
in contact with feel like a special
individual," says Bell.
"Evelyn always found the
good in people, she never saw the
bad," adds Sirois. "The sad thing
is that all the new people won't
ever know what LCC lost with
Evelyn's retirement."
LCC has set up an Evelyn
Tennis Memorial Scholarship
Fund out of respect for the former
employee. TheTennisfamily asks
