Intramural
Sporty
By
Chris
The
athletic
department
at
CNC
offers
many
different
sports
for
students.
Trying
out
for
the
Volleyball
team
is
only
one
example
of
its
great
diversity.
Each
semester
Will
Gilbert,
the
Recreational
Coordinator,
provides
four
to
five
different
sports
for
the
students
based
on
the
popularity
stats.
On
the
drop-in
sheets.
The
different
sports
include:
floor
hockey,
badminton,
racquetball,
squash
(to
name
just
a
few).
Floor
hockey
seems
to
be
the
most
popular
sport
that
students
enjoy
to
play.
It
has
the
best
turn
out
of
all
the
team
sports
offered
at
CNC.
CNC
also
has
a
weight
room,
which
gets
improved
every
year
by
the
Student
Association
at
the
school.
The
recreational
department
is
very
grateful
for
theirsupport
in
making
the
place
better.
The
weight
room
is
always
busy
and
it
is
quite
affordable
for
students
to
use.
Once
a
month
Gilbert
puts
together
a
special
event
for
the
students.
In
September
he
coordinated
a
golf
tournament
for
the
students.
In
January
he
plans
to
put
a
'World
Series
of
Poker'
together.
Also
Gilbert
will
be
putting
together
a
spring
ski
trip
which
is
something
else
for
the
students
to
participate
in.
CNC
provides,
at
a
reasonable
price,
racquetball
courts
and
squash
courts.
"Racquetball
seems
more
popular
with
the
students
over
squash,
because
of
The
discovery
of
a
woman's
body
frozen
into
the
woods
on
the
UNBC
lands
has
shocked
and
angered
many
of
the
citizens
of
Prince
George.
The
circumstances
surrounding
the
treatment
and
subsequent
despondency
of
the
victim
that
lead
to
the
'suicide'
are
reverberating
throughout
the
entire
province.
Will
an
inquiry
into
the
death
b
ordered?
Will
the
handling
of
the
case
come
into
question?
What
could
have
been
done
differently
to
avert
this
ending?
On
the
surface
this
entire
incident
seems
such
a
waste.
The
the
difficulty
of
playing
squash,"
says
Gilbert.
In
the
past
they
have
had
a
squash
tournament
with
about
twenty
contestants,
but
with
the
popularity
of
racquetball,
Gilbert
is
quite
sure
that
they
will
get
a
big
turnout
of
players.
You
can
also
play
different
sports
on
the
courts,
one
sport
is
called
walleyball,
some
outside
groups
book
the
courts
to
play
it.
CNC
is
planning
on
building
an
ice
rink
beside
the
outdoor
basketball
courts
for
anybody
that
wants'
to
ice
skate.
"Ice
hockey
is
one
thing
that
will
not
be
played
on
the
rink
due
to
cars
being
parked
close
by
the
rink,"
says
Gilbert.
"But
what
happens
when
he
is
not
there
at
night
he
can
not
control."
A
broomball
tournament
on
the
ice
rink
may
take
place
for
the
ball
is
soft
and
-it
is
hard
to
shoot
over
the
boards.
One
sport
that
was
not
promoted
was
intramural
basketball.
It
is
going
to
be
promoted
in
the
Spring
semester
as
it
is
more
a
spring
sport.
A
complaint
that
Gilbert
has,
is
that
it
is
hard
to
get
students
to
come
out
and
participate
due
to
the
student's
time
schedule
at
school
and
that
most
students
work
at
night.
Gilbert
has
tried
to
move
some
of
the
sports
to
the
night
but,
it
is
difficult
to
book
the
gym
due
to
the
volleyball
Vicki
Pich
and
David
MacDonald
on
the
leg
press...
Will
Gilbert,
recreational
coordinator
for
the
CNC
recreation
department
shows
off
where
students
can
sign
up
and
join
in
on
all
the
fun
of
intramural
sports
at
CNC
teams
practices.
Public
participation
has
dropped
off
over
the
past
few
years,
according
to
Gilbert,
due
to
other
places
offering
the
same
sort
of
things.
The
courts
used
to
be
full
from
8
am.
To
closing
everyday,
but
things,
have
changed
a
lot
and
the
courts
are
not
as
full
anymore.
If
you
are
a
student
or
a
member
of
the
Prince
George
public
and
you
want
to
play
sports
you
can
come
to
CNC
and
they
will,
for
a
deposit,
supply
you
with
the
equipment
it
takes
to
play.
CNC
is
trying
to
generate
-different
sporting
programs
for
everybody,
from
someone
who
just
wants
to
throw
a
football

An
Editorial
by
Bev
Lacey
information
trickling
forth
about
Sorkomova's
alleged
suicide
allows
us
to
see
the
greater
picture
from
the
Canadian
perspective.
She
was
living
with
the
ultimate
nightmare;
the
humiliation
of
being
charged
with
shoplifting,
the
fear
of
an
appearance
in
a
court
room,
the
seizing
of
her
passport,
and
lastly,
the
inability
to
get
home
at
Christmas!
You
have
to
wonder
how
these
'minor
charges'
affected
her
psyche.
What
vast
distance
is
there
in
the
cultural
impact
of
our
laws,
our
perceptions,
our
culture,
and
that
of
this
RussianSiberian
student
visiting
our
land?
How
could
this
young
woman's
life
end
in
such
a
tragic
manner
triggered
by
such
a
'minor'
incident
(by
Canadian
standards)?
I
am
not
trivializing
or
condoning
the
breaking
of
any
law,
but,
we
as
Canadians,
must
see
the
need
for
advocacy.
Didn't
anyone
see
the
depth
of
Sorkomova's
depression
or
despondency
over
this
alleged
crime?
Did
she
have
anyone
to
hear
her
side
of
the
story?
We
may
never
know.
We
should
all
take
the
time
recognize
her
fear
and
loneliness
in
this
cold
city
and
ask
how
it
could
possibly'
happen
in
city
that
houses
so
many
social
services'
professionals
and
therapists.
The
citizens
of
Prince
George
failed
Anna.
We
have
all
lost
yet
another
layer
of
our
innocence.
This
Russian
citizen,
daughter
of
Siberia,
was
here
in
Canada,
British
Columbia,
Prince
George,
and
at
the
University
of
British
Columbia
to
learn.
Somehow
I
don't
think
this
lesson
was
quite
what
she
had
in
mind.
