Three Clark
teachers honored
Exceptional Faculty Awards have been presented to an English professor, a music instructor and a communications professor. The three Clark College teachers were nominated by their colleagues and students for the awards announced during the Clark College commencement earlier this month. Marylynne Diggs teaches English, American literature and humanities. She served on the college Instructional Planning Team and currently is co-chair of a committee on accreditation standards. April Brookins Duvic teaches applied voice, music education and music appreciation. She is director of the Clark College Women’s Choral Ensemble. Duvic also won the Exceptional Faculty Award in 2001. David Kosloski, professor of communication studies and director of speech and debate, teaches public speaking and competitive speaking and debate. He is a former chairman of the college curriculum committee. In 2006 Kosloski received the Judge Educator Award from the Northwest Forensics Conference. Community Mediation
Services Vancouver’s Community Mediation Services, along with 18 other community dispute resolution centers throughout the state, is expanding services as a result of a $1 million statewide appropriation from the state legislature. The Vancouver center provides mediators in small claims court as an alternative to litigation. According to Nancy Pionk, program manager for Community Mediation Services, says that records indicate that people who mediate their disputes keep their agreements more than twice as often as people who litigate their disputes. The local center provides low-cost mediation and conflict resolution services for disputes arising from divorce, parenting planning, asset division, business-consumer issues, neighborhood conflicts, employment, parent-teen problems and landlord-tenant problems. For further information, call Pionk at 619-1148.
