Have advantage says Landucci

By ROS OBERLYN

The new director of the
B.C. human rights branch
describes herself as the lucky
benefactor of her predeces-
sor’s hard work and pain.

I'm sitting here and I'm
profiting from the fights
Kathleen Ruff has fought,”
says Nola Landucci.

She’ has read the press
clippings.

She knows about the
public feuding between form-
er director Ruff, whom she
admires, and the B.C. human
rights commission. She has
heard about the commission's
besmirched reputation be-
cause of gibes at homo-

sexuals and women. And she *

is aware Ruff had some tough
times in the arena of human
rights.

“But that is all water
under the bridge,” she said in
an interview.

“The commission has
learned a lot in the last year
and, clearly, it doesn't want
any bad blood.”

Landucci ticked off the
advantages she has over
Ruff, who took the job when
the code was introduced in
1973

The branch, after six
years, is fully staffed with
competent, experienced of-
ficers, funding is close to
adquate and confusion be-
tween the role of the branch
and commission has been
sorted out.

“Landucci took the job as
human rights director after
serving as founding director
of the conciliation branch of
the Canadian Human Rights
Commission.

In a personal defence
against stereotyping and dis-
crimination, Landucci refuses
to give her age.

Providing her age would
lead to people making as-
sumptions about her that
were not relevant, she said.

However, Landucci
volunteered that she grad-
uated from high school in
Trail in 1959 at the usual age
and said people could figure
it out for themselves.

In addition to her man-
date to settle allegations of
discrimination, Landucci said
she plans to pay more
attention to her job as chief
executive of the human
rights commission, a role that
is not clearly defined in the
B.C. Human Rights Code.

Under the code, the
branch is responsible for
investigating allegations of
discrimination and trying to
settle them through concilia-
tion. The director then re-
ports any unsettled com-
plaints to the labor minister,
who decides whether to set
up a board of inquiry to
investigate and rule on the
matter.

| The commission is a
separate advisory group
whose purpose is to promote
awareness of human rights
issues through education.

| Landucci said part'of her

job as branch director is to
interpret the very general
section of the code that
prohibits discrimination
without reasonable cause in
employment and in the prov-
ision of services.

She described that as
“an awesome responsibility”
because it gives her the
discretion to decide what is
publicly acceptable in human
rights.

As chief executive of the
commission, Landucci said
she will try to help co
ordinate its efforts, since a
12-member body is unwieldy.
“Even if they were all
evangelical saint material,
there would have been prob-
lems,” she added.

Another problem with
B.C.’s human rights legisla-
tion is its age. She said it
became law in 1937, and
“that’s old stuff in the field of
human rights.”

The only reason the code
has not outlived its useful-
ness is the “without reason-
able cause” section, which
encompasses forms of dis-
crimination that were not
considered seven years ago,
she said.

“But it also fails to put
‘service agencies and employ-
ers on notice as to what is
acceptable in human rights.”
‘Comparing B.C.’s code
with the Canadian Human
Rights Code, Landucci said
the federal law had one big

advantage: settlements are
made public, causing people
with similar complaints of
discrimination to come for-

As a result, she said,
“you're not trying to empty
the sea with your hands.”

She said the impetus
exists to protect the handi-
capped from discrimination
because 1981 has been des-
ignated as a special year for

conference on the subject,
It makes more sense to
choose a cause for which the
public is receptive, Landucei

Asked whether she

would follow Ruff's outspok-
en example when it came to
taking public stands on spec-
ific instances of discrimina-
tion, the new director said it
would depend on the situa-
tion: “It's not a question of
principle, it's a question of
strategy.”

For the first time in history, Canada will soon have
control of its own consititution. Unfortunately, with the total
lack of effective representation from the west, Trudeau and
the provinces of Ontario and Quebec will have their say in how
the new constitution will be written.

Ontario and Quebec Liberals if the west is to be treated as an

A Trail and Rossland ski
club was conceived of in 1928
and became an actuality the
following year. Because the
emphasis was to be placed on
cross-country skiing, the
Trail-Rossland golf course
was selected as the best
location. With permission
from George Murray, of the
golf-club executive, the ski-
club fixed up an old log cabin
for a shelter.

Robert Lepsce became
the first president of the ski
club — membership totalled
30.

Vandals destroyed the
original cabin so the group

club which lived in Robson

the help of carpenters T.
Kalhoodi, Ivon Moin and Trig
Nora and the workers L.
Treverton, J. Mittchel, Har-
old Fox, Fred Hackney and

project was $225.

a former

hockey coach

remembers Morey

Gare's father saying
about his son.

The coach, Bill Mec-
Donnell, said at the
time of the descrip-
tion Morey. was 11
years old and had
some trouble skating.

Last week Morey
was drafted by the
NHL.

The change that occurred
in Morey between the time of
the description and the day of
the draft ‘tis due to Morey’s
own hard work and determin-
ation’? McDonnell who was
involved in Morey'’s training
from 1974 to 1978, said.

“Morey always had a
willingness to work. That at-
titude put him where he is
now,"’ McDonnell added.

“Dad showed us (Morey
and his older brothers) the
way. He taught us the skills
and taught us there was a lot
of hard work and sacrifice in-
volved."” i

“Mom was a big influ-
ence too. She's a good cook."”
Morey joked.°

“She was interested in
us being good citizens. She
didn’t work herself so she was
always home with us. She
taught us that hard work al-
ways pays off whether its
around the house, in a job or
sports."" :

‘*Mom and dad always
used to come down to the rink
to watch us play. Mom was

always trying to pick up the |

game on the radio. I think my
mom knows more about hoc-
key than I do,”” Morey said.

And ‘she nearly fell out
of her chair when she heard I
was drafted."”

The news actually came
to the family via the Nelson
radio station.

“They called and asked if

“*Morey was

player.” * ee é

That and guidance from
his family made it impossible
to put a ceiling on where he
would go in the sport, the
coach said.

Morey agrees that his
family was a major influence
in his hockey success.

re the
same person. Then they said I
was drafted." ‘

Morey spoke with the Is-
lander head-scout on Satur-
day evening and discussed his
next few years.

Tentative plans include
playing the the New West-
minster Jr. team for two or
three years ‘‘for the experi-

&

ence,’’ Morey said. Then
hopefully on to the New York
training camp.

At this early stage in
Morey’s career, being drafted
by the Islanders means more
than anything that no other
team can draft him. Contracts

“That's probably my big-
gest problem — keeping my
temper. I retaliate right away.
I have to learn to wait for
