Resident wants tourist info booth to stay open Delynda pilon

newsroom@pgfreepress.com

Closing down the tourist information centre near the casino is a mistake according to one city resident.

Coffee at Zoe’s last week encouraged a local woman to stop in for a visit and share a few of her pet peeves. The woman said she prefers her name be withheld, at least for the time being.

She wondered how many people would drive to 1st Ave. to get information on the city, adding it seems most tourists come through via Hwy. 97.

Her second pet peeve,s he said, revolves around expanding the casino’s liquor licence.

“How can they pass that?” she asked.

She added the casino has virtually ended other not-for-profits ability to earn money through hosting bingos and is concerned the intrusion of institutions like the casino is ending a certain form of fundraising, one she maintains helps bind communi-

ties together. “”This is breaking the community. People are not working together on projects anymore. I know this isn’t the only reason, but it’s one of them.”

Her third pet peeve, she said, involves her concern about the maintenance of city parks.

She said she remembers a time when each person took a certain amount of responsibility for the open areas in their neighbourhoods, helping with clean-up a bit at a time.

“How many people take responsibility and clean up their own block or park?” she asked.

She believes doing so would relieve some of the financial burden placed on the city, which would in turn show up in tax money needed.

She said this sort of prudence could be combined with lowering wages for some city workers in what she believes is a non-union position.

Her final peeve is about lines not being painted on city roads.

“I’ve seen several close calls,” she said.

Former UNBC coach heads to Dalhousie AListair McInnis

sports@pgfreepress.com

A long-time UNBC employee who filled key roles in the athletics department is taking on a new position on Canada’s east coast.

Zane Robison, a for-

mer coach and player on the Timberwolves’ men’s basketball team, has been named the director of student life at Dalhousie University in Halifax. The title is similar to the position he’s held at UNBC over the past few years as the residence and student

life manager.

Robison is scheduled to begin filling the new role on Aug. 20. His final day at UNBC is Aug. 16.

“It’s an exciting opportunity not only for the career, but also for my life,” Robison said. “I’ve always wanted to be near

the ocean and the east coast has been quite appealing to me. I’m excited for the opportunity and I think it’ll be a really, really nice change. It’s going to be tough to leave UNBC. I absolutely love it here and it’s been an incredible place. It’s been very good

to me and this opportunity would’ve have come without what UNBC did, but I think this is going to be good for me.”

Although he put in his notice at UNBC on July 3, Robison has continued working on the Cranbrook Hill campus this summer to help the university through the transition. The announcement of the hiring was made on Dalhousie’s Notice Digest e-mail information service on July 10 ( w w w. d a l . c a / n e w s / notices/2012_07_10.html).

Robison’s acceptance of the Dalhousie leaves an opening at UNBC. The job posting is listed among staff titles online at www. unbc.ca.

As a UNBC student and employee, Robison helped shape the men’s basketball program. He filled the role of head coach from 2001 to 2008, turning a young program into a competitive squad in the B.C. Colleges Athletic Association. Prior to joining the team as an assistant coach for the 2000-01 season, he played on the UNBC men’s basketball team from 1996 to 2000.

Robison also acted as interim athletic director

while the position was vacant in the 2009-10 season, before Jason Kerswill began filling the role in August 2010. Although it’s been four years since Robison stepped down from his Timberwolves coaching position, his imprint is still seen on the roster today, having recruited guards Francis Rowe, Sam Raphael and Joel Rybachuk in 2008.

The three students will be fifth-year players for the Timberwolves in the 2012-13 campaign, their first competing in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association.

Robison, a native of Nakusp, completed a undergraduate degree program in natural resources management in 2000. He’s worked at UNBC a total of 16 years.

“It’s been a huge part of my life for almost half my life so it’s bittersweet,” he said. “I think it’s going to be definitely a significant change because UNBC has been such a big part of my life. But I think it was time to move on and try something different and try the big school experience, and this was obviously a good opportunity for that.”

Accessibility

The timing could not be better.

At the same time as Ryan Latchman is checking businesses around town to make sure they are accessible for people with disabilities (see story on B2), City Hall is being questioned regarding a matter of accessibility within its own walls.

Vincent Sherry, the chairperson of the advisory committee on accessibility, sent a report to council for Monday’s meeting, outlining concerns with the main staircase at City Hall.

“Several members of our committee over the years have been visually impaired,” the report says, “and have come close to falling down these stairs because the edges are not marked with any sort of contrast to indicate where the edge is.”

Sunlight coming through the large windows by the staircase and the shininess of the floor also contribute to the problem.

It is perhaps somewhat ironic that a council which was elected on the basis of being transparent and accessible is now being called on to fix a problem with a form of accessibility.

The signs on the staircase suggest it’s better to take the stairs and get some exercise, rather than take the elevator.

But in a case like this, safety trumps fitness.

“Many other community buildings have excellent markings on the stairs,” the report continues, “such as the library and CN Centre. We understand that even the employee stairs at City Hall are better marked than the public stairs.”

We hope that by the end of the week, we will have seen a city employee with a can of yellow (non-skid) paint or some yellow marking tape, making sure the steps of City Hall are safe for all citizens.

It’s a small step towards making City Hall more accessible, in a very obvious way.

Justice must be done Recently, a 20-year-old man from Surrey received a month in jail for his part in the Stanley Cup riots, which took place just over a year ago.

Many people are hoping this sets a precedent for future sentencing, and it should.

A one-month term for taking part in a riot – in which millions of dollars in property damage was done, police were assaulted, 150 people were injured and the global reputation of the Vancouver area was severely damaged – is light punishment. However, it is likely that many of those charged will not receive any punishment.

Their cases may well be thrown out of court because of excessive delay, due to the severely plugged nature of the court system. If a case is delayed for 18 months or longer, through no fault of the defence, it is quite likely it will not come to trial.

This is unacceptable.

While it says volumes about the state of the court system, something that few people pay attention to unless they are directly involved, it sends a bad message to the rioters.

It tells them they should do all they can to delay the process until they are charged. And they should not plead guilty. As a result, they may see their case dropped.

The provincial government should set up a temporary court which can deal solely with riot cases. Everyone who is charged in connection with the riot should face trial, and do time if found guilty.

If such a temporary court proves to work well, it could be used in other situations – such as to relieve system congestion in specific areas. If rioters are able to get off without any consequences because of a backlog of cases, the criminal justice system needs some creative fixing.

The province can do something about this – now. Authority must trump lawlessness – Black Press

Kordyban odge Cabinet members Lorraine Grant, left, Brian Brownridge, Henry Novak, Charles Jago, Les Waldie, and Margaret Jones-Bricker with the award from the Canadian Cancer Society.

Kordyban Lodge committee honoured A special reunion of the Kordyban Lodge Campaign Cabinet was held Monday to receive national recognition from the Canadian Cancer Society.

The Circle of Distinction Award was presented to Kordyban Lodge Cabinet members: Henry Novak, Brian Brownridge, Charles

Jago, Gerry Martin, Jim Eglinski, Lorraine Grant, Les Waldie, and Margaret Jones-Bricker. This award acknowledges the significant contributions made by the cabinet members to the mission of the Canadian Cancer Society and recognizes team effort between volunteers and staff con-

tributing to the goals of the society.

The Kordyban Lodge Campaign Cabinet connected with major personal and corporate supporters across northern British Columbia to raise the capital funds to build the Kordyban Lodge. The volunteer cabinet had strong

representation from across northern B.C., with all members providing unique strengths.

“My family and I recognize the need for a ‘home away from home’ for cancer patients here in the north, and we are proud to have been a part of this campaign,” says Henry

Novak, Campaign Chair and donor.

With a campaign goal of $10 million, pledges committed now exceed the $12 million mark.

“The impact that the work of the Cabinet has had on bringing this project to fruition is truly inspiring” says Lorraine Grant,

board chair of the Canadian Cancer Society B.C. and Yukon Division.

The Canadian Cancer Society also presented Mary Kordyban with a Special Recognition Award in June, gratefully acknowledging the cornerstone gift from the Mary Kordyban Foundation.
