Movie Review-Shutter Island
 Acclaimed director Martin Scorsese’s new film Shutter Island is better than I anticipated from the trailer, but short of great.

Movie Review-Ghost Writer
 An author with a unexceptional career is surprisingly hired to complete the manuscript of a retired British Prime Minister’s memoirs. What looks to be a surefire bonanza for the spirited, confident young scribe, $250,000 for four weeks work, soon becomes a more demanding — and more dangerous — task. Even before he sees the unfinished autobiography for the first time he’s mugged walking home from the publisher’s office.

Pond Aerator Beautifies RVCC "Front Door"
 An aerator has been installed in the pond at the main entrance to campus. The cascading spray is intended to suppress the growth of algae, oxygenate the water and help create a healthy aquatic environment. It’s also pretty.
The move comes out of an agreement the college made last year with the federal Environmental Protection Agency to be an environmental steward, reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a better environment.

The Record is the online newspaper of the RVCC community, designed, produced and written by students. With a focus on RVCC news, profiles, features and opinions, we publish regularly throughout the semester. Publishing online enables us to present material in a variety of formats, including print, photo gallery, audio and video.
To put out a quality newspaper requires many student volunteers: web designers and production people, reporters, writers, photographers, videographers, and even advertising reps.
If you would like to be part of The Record club, send us an e-mail. We meet Wednesday, 4:30-8:20 p.m. in cafeteria upstairs, but you don't have to be available during that time to be a part of the team.
Got a news tip, story or upcoming event you think the RVCC community ought to know about,
send us an e-mail.
