Barbara Kellar was selected as Chinook Winds Casino’s Superstar for the first quarter of 2001. At the quarterly Superstar luncheon on May 3, she received a check for $ 1,000 and a marble tile, which will be displayed at the front of the casino, in recognition of her achievement. This is Kellar’s second nomination within two quarters. Her nomination read, “She is truly an asset to her department and to Chinook Winds. She provides her best possible service to both internal and external customers. She always coordinates gifts and treats for birthdays, retirements, etc. for the whole department. She coordinated a treat day for the swing shift housekeeping staff... because she wanted them to feel appreciated. She has volunteered her time and money to purchase gifts on many different occasions, for many different people. She is genuinely nice and caring. All these acts of kindness have increased teamwork within the department and across department lines. She goes above and beyond for the sake of the team on a regular basis. ” To be eligible to receive the Superstar award, an employee must perform his/ her duties at a high standard of excellence on a consistent basis. He/she must exhibit above-the-norm internal and external customer service and be a team leader by example. Instances of exemplary performance must be documented. After a person is nominated for the award, the nomination goes through several reviews before the final selection is made. Both casino staff and casino guests can submit Superstar nominations. With more than 700 employees and only four of these awards each year, it’s a real honor to be chosen as the Superstar. Jim Kikumoto, Chinook Winds general manager, stated, “I can honestly say with great pride that we have an amazing staff who go the extra mile to provide quality service to our guests and I see examples of it every day, in every department. It’s very difficult to choose just one person to receive this honor. Barbara sets a shining example and I congratulate her on this achievement.” Others nominated for the Superstar award were Kendall Logan, guest services; Marc Daniels, Bingo; Craig Lucas, security; Dub Bellinger, guest services; Beth Donelson, facilities; Cathie Barth, Bingo; Maria Watts, food and beverage; Teri Tomlinson, Bingo; Carl Aarts, security; Janet Bisceglia, cage; Mike Blacketer, Winners Circle; Linda Daniels, Bingo; Jim Frederickson, Poker; and Benita Duratte, food & beverage.
