Alleged racist remark |

results in retaliation

By CHRISTIANA WIENS
and SIMONE BLAIS

A PRINCE Rupert volleyball player
faces a criminal investigation and a pos-
sible year-long suspension fram schoo!
sports for altacking a Terrace rival two
weeks after the local sludent allegedly
made a racial remark,

A Skeena Junior Secondary School
volleyball player allegedly told an East
Indian player from Charles Hays Senior
Secondary in Prince Rupert to “get your

_Asian-asses back to Rupert where they

belong,” during a tournament here Oct. 2, -

says Hays volleyball coach Ben Pyde.

_ Two weeks later, on Oct. .16-in Prince
Ruperl, a Vietnamese team member al-
legedly instigated a fight in the school
parking lol ugainst the Skeena player wha
made the original comment.

"Pwo additional students, not on: the
Charles Hays team, allegedly held back
and pushed Skeena coach Gary Fuller
when he tried to break up the fight.

All three Prince Rupert students were
suspended for at least three days last
week while Charles Hays administration
‘investigated the incident, said Pyde,
“The Charles Hays team has been dis-
banded, and the volleyball player, who
also. plays. basketball, could be barred

from playing on any school team for the.

rest of the year. ;

“Tt could be thal this player could be
suspended for up to a year, that’s some-
thing that we have in our constitution,”
said Smithers resident Ron Vandriel who
is president of the northwest high school
_Sporis zone. _

Wandriel and the zone executive are
still gathering information before deciding
how to deal with the matter.

One of the main concerns of the
Chatles Hays school administration, said
Vandriel, is the two-week delay between
the two incidents.

“The vice principal has mentioned to
me that she was concerned about the
whole. atlitude team when they knew
something was happening and not report-
ing il to administration.”

“E certainly hope hd
wouldn't do it again.”

‘Charles Hays vice principal Sandy
Jones would not comment on the incident.

But Hays coach Pyde said Friday -he
believes the student understands and re-
grets his actions.

“He took offence to the comment and
ihat_ was his way of dealing with it,” said
Pyde, “I certainly hope he wouldn't do it
again.”

' Pyde added the two schools have al-
ways had a healthy rivalry.

' "We have a good history, we're fairly
compelitive; this is a one-time incident.”

Pyde said the players aren’t revealing
many details ta school administrators but
teammates. allege. a number of racial

comments had come from the Skeena

bench during the tournament,
-Skeena vice principal Don Balcombe
declined comment. -
Prince Rupert RCMP Constable Mike

Legault said officers are investigaling as-
sault charpes against two young offenders -

as a result of the incident in Prince Ru-
pert, but no charges have yet been laid.

The zone playoffs have been resche-
duled to Nov. 20, and will be played in
Kitimat instead of Prince Rupert,
