Keith’s award, conferred during the annual Webster Award Dinner in November, was for a one- hour documentary he produced for CBC Radio entitled Welcome to the Widget Factory. The story focused on a 53-year-old schizophrenic man who lives in the Main and Hastings area of Vancouver. Keith spent a year following his subject, exploring the many ways schizophrenia disrupts a person’s life.

This is Keith’s third Webster award in the seven-year history of the prize. Earlier this year, another of his radio documentaries won a silver medal at the prestigious New York International Festival of Radio. Welcome to the Widget Factory aired in March, and CBC plans to rebroadcast it soon.

Anyone who attended the Second Annual Capilano College Employ- ees’ Christmas Potluck on Dec. 16 surely enjoyed the line dancing lessons given by Dave O'Leary, Supervisor of Advising. If you missed the party, or if you’re raring for another try at Slap Leather or the Boot Scootin’ Boogie, you can catch Dave's class at the Avalon Hotel. He teaches line dancing there at the Madison Avenue Bar & Grill every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. Anne Syroishko, of Financial Services, has recently taken on a new pursuit, facilitating a watercolor class for Eldercollege. Anne says interacting with the 55-plus crowd has led her to discover a new dimen- sion of creativity in her life. “I give Left: Dave O'Leary, in the cowboy hat, Slaps Leather at the Avalon Hotel.

The watercolor, which Anne created in 1990, depicts the story of a ravenous chick called Oh So Good. and I get from the subjects I teach,” she says. “The challenge is the prize.” Besides sharing her artistic abilities with seniors, Anne has also given some tots a taste of her talent. She presented one of her paintings to the Capilano College Day Care this fall and wrote a story for the chil- dren to hear while viewing it.
