Lori Schick and Katrina Egan

Members of U.S. kayaking team, Costa Mesa

Schick, 30, will try to keep afloat in the upcoming world championships in Mexico City as a member of the U.S. kayaking team.

Schick, who until recently worked as a physical therapist at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Medical Center, has given up her work to train full time for the championships.

Egan, 24, who is also a physical therapist at the hospital, earned a spot on the developmental squad in kayaking and will be training to qualify for the 1996 Olympic Games.

Earlier this year, when Egan needed a new kayak to keep her medal dreams on course for the Olympics, the hospital paid for a new kayak for her training.

Barbara Stuart

Laguna Greenbelt Inc. board member, Laguna Beach

The longtime Laguna Greenbelt Inc. board member and community activist was honored recently by having a trail in Laguna Canyon named “Barbara Stuart Lakeside Trail” in appreciation of her efforts to preserve open space. Some 150 residents paid $35 per plate to honor Stuart at a recent dinner at the Hotel Laguna. During her three decades of community work, the former Ballet Pacifica dancer has also been involved with Laguna Playhouse and Friendship Shelter. She was one of the first major contributors to the effort to buy the Laguna Laurel property in Laguna Canyon to keep a housing development from being built there.
