Northwest British Columbia caught the nation’s attention on Saturday, February 4, when the Gitga’at Nation hosted a “No Tanker” march and rally in Prince Rupert that over a thousand people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds took part in to show their opposition towards the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Project. “We’re here today to ensure that this region, that British Columbia and that Canada knows we cannot have tankers... We need to ensure that our voices are heard. We stand in solidarity, we stop the Enbridge pipeline and we stop tankers from coming on this coast,” said North Coast MLA Gary Coons on Saturday.

The day-long event started at Mariner’s Park in the downtown core of Prince Rupert, where individuals started their march to the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre on a closed-off McBride Street. Over a thousand people showed up, many of whom waved homemade signs and wore ceremonial clothing or even covered themselves in oil. The march concluded with a drum circle in the middle of McBride Street before protesters went inside the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre for the rest of the day’s events. The civic centre’s Russell Gamble gymnasium was practically filled to capacity for the beginning of the rally, with welcome speeches being given by Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, MLA Gary Coons, Hereditary Chief Clarence Nelson of Metlakatla and elected council members of Lax Kw’alaams Helen Johnson and Stan
Dennis. Hartley Bay’s own Bob and Cameron Hill were the MCs of the rally, and both voiced their concerns of a spill near their village, which is situated at the mouth of the Douglas Channel that tankers would use to access the possible terminal in Kitimat. “This is the life I have been brought up in. This is what I want my kids to enjoy. And I want them to have the life that I have had, which I consider to be the best life ever,” said Gitga’at councillor Cameron Hill. “Tankers would come and cross our channel and destroy all that we have lived by…This tiny community will stand with your support and stop tankers from coming in,” Bob Hill, treaty coordinator and negotiator of the Gitga’at, commented during the rally.

Imports through Fairview Terminal double year to year By Shaun Thomas The Northern View On February 6 the Prince Rupert Port Authority released the tonnage handled in January, and the month is an indicator
of a potentially bright year for container traffic in Prince Rupert in 2012. Tonnage handled by Fairview Terminal was almost double what it was in January of 2011. In total there were 44,477.9 TEUs handled at the terminal in January, up from
Lester Centre of the Arts Presents
23,070.3 in 2011 for a 92.8 per cent increase. Imports slightly more than doubled compared to last year, jumping from 12,689 TEUs in 2011 to 25,445 TEUs this year. Exports were up 83.3 per cent over all, with the number of loaded TEUs Michael Gurney up 38.5 per cent and sitting at 9,097 and the number of empty TEUs being handled up 160.6 per cent to sit at 9,933.3. “Typically, we see a rise in container imports from Asia at the start of the year. The firms and factories that close for Chinese New Year will accelerate production and shipping before the 15day celebration to ensure continuity of supply. With the Year of the Dragon starting two weeks earlier than 2011’s Year of the Rabbit, this year’s bump is especially prominent in January,” said Michael Gurney, Manager of Corporate Communications with the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the increase “It’s a spike on the long-term trend line of steady growth here in Prince Rupert.” While Fairview is up to start the year, the same cannot be said for the other terminals on the North Coast. After a record year in 2011, Ridley Terminals saw a 65 per cent drop in traffic from year to year, falling from 878,906 tonnes to 307,639 tonnes in January. The two biggest drops were in Petroleum Coke, which fell from 121,302 tonnes last year to none this year, and Metallurgical Coal, which fell 64.2 per cent from 670,935 tonnes last year to 240,131 tonnes this year. Also of note, while there were 9,803 tonnes of wood pellets shipped in 2011, there were none shipped in the first month of 2012. Prince Rupert Grain was down 28.7 per cent from last January, declining from 379,030 tonnes to 270,410 tonnes this year. Canola was the biggest drop, falling 51.9 per cent from 169,435 tonnes to 81,500 tonnes this past January. Also down was logs being shipped from the harbour. Last January there were 49,351 tonnes while this year there were none. Overall the tonnage handled by the Prince Rupert Port Authority was down 33.5 per cent, from 1.54 million tonnes last January to 1.02 million tonnes this January.

◆ EDUCATION
Fraser Institute releases elementary school rankings By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The Fraser Institute released its annual - and controversial - elementary school rankings on the morning of February 6, and once again North Coast schools are largely in the bottom half of the rankings. Annunciation, the lone independent school in the Prince Rupert School District, was the only one to perform well, placing 81st out of the 860 schools included in the ranking. The school jumped 14 spots from its 95th place ranking based on the last five years, but the ranking out of 10 was down from 9.1 last year to 8.4 in 2011. All of the public schools in the Prince Rupert School District were in the bottom half of the rankings. The highest
school in the rankings, ironically, is the now closed Westview elementary. Westview finished in 655th place with a ranking of 4.7 out of 10. The school’s five year rank was 503 out of 725. Pineridge was the next best performing public school, placing 787 out of 860, with its five year rank being 651 out of 725. The school had a score of 3.6 out of 10 in 2011, the second lowest in the past five years. Lax Kxeen was next with a rank of 830 out of 860 and a score of 2.7 out of 10, tied for the lowest in five years. The five year average ranking for the school was 671 out of 725 schools. Conrad, which this year took the students from Westview, finished with a score of 1.3 out of 10, the worst in five years, and a ranking of 853 out of 860. The school has typically been near the bottom of the rankings, with the five year

ranking at 720 out of 725. The only Haida Gwaii elementary school included was Sk’aadgaa Naay in Skidegate, which ranked 436 out of 860 with a score of 5.9, the second highest in the past five years. The scores are based on the average score for grade four and grade seven reading, writing and numeracy, the gap in scores between male and female scores, the number of test scores “below expectation” and the percent of tests not written.

◆ LOSS OF JOBS, OPPORTUNITY
Regional District asks DFO to explain cuts to the Coast Guard By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District has sent a letter to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans expressing their concerns over DFO’s costcutting measures, including a plan to claw back overtime for Coast Guard radio operators. “It is our belief that the staff reductions taking place in these two departments will have impacts on our communities, firstly by the direct loss of positions and work in the region and secondly, but just as important, the possible reduction in fishing opportunities for all sectors in the region and the subsequent economic loss,” wrote the district in the letter The letter was addressed to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, Keith Ashfield.

PRINCE RUPERT TO HARTLEY BAY
Conservative government, in an attempt to find ways to widdle down the Federal budget, has directed the Coast Guard to limit the amount of overtime paid to Coast Guard radio operators by not calling in a replacement if someone calls in sick. This move has been strongly opposed by the union representing the Coast Guard employees and by MLA Gary Coons (who has also sent a letter to Ashfield) who say that having less staffing even on calm days puts lives at risk. The Regional District board is worried that the DFO’s conservation and stock assessment duties are also on the chopping block, which would have repercussions for the area’s commercial fisheries. “Conservation is the cornerstone upon which DFO’s mandate rests and stock assessment the means by which we measure our conservation and socio-economic achievements. The importance of a strong stock assessment cannot be overstated, with out it – the economic fisheries, so important to our region, are often curtailed forgoing millions in landed value,” reads the letter. The SQCRD poses two questions to the Fisheries Minister: Why are the cuts happening to key areas? And how does DFO plan to maintain it’s current service levels with less staffing?

◆ BARGAINING STATEMENT
Teachers wear black Contributed The Northern View Teachers in Prince Rupert wore black in solidarity with colleagues across the province this past week. Friday, January 27, marked the 10th anniversary of the passing of Bills 27 and 28 that stripped teacher collective agreements of class-size, composition, and specialist service levels’ language and “vapourized 10 local collective agreements”. “In passing these bills, the provincial government effectively ended free collective bargaining rights and saved more than $3 billion on the backs of teachers,” said Joanna Larson, President of the Prince Rupert District Teachers’ Union. Larson along with presidents, local representatives, and bargaining chairs who were attending their Representative Assembly over the weekend, hit the streets of Vancouver to mark the day assembling on bridges in and around Vancouver. Holding signs, waving flags and banners, the message that the cuts must end and bargaining rights restored, was sent clearly for all to see.

◆ HELPING THE DISABLED
Feature: Looking at local services By Alan S. Hale The Northern View When Prince Rupert city council was told by a local resident that service providers weren’t listening to the concerns of people living in the community with disabilities, the council decided it would try to get some of them addressed. The council is currently investigating the possibility of either meeting with residents who depend on social services and service providers either together or separately to see what issues can be identified and what changes are can be made or need to be lobbied for. The Prince Rupert Northern View talked to some of the most prominent social service providers in Prince Rupert about the idea of a meeting and what they believe the state of service delivery in the city and what needs to be changed. Most say they would gladly participate in a meeting between themselves and service users if one were set up by the City. Alice Compagnon is the director of Fairview Management, an organization dedicated to helping people with developmental disabilities in Prince Rupert. Fairview helps its clients with finding work, getting the medical attention and medicines they need, finding a place to live and much more. They currently help 35 people, but they can’t help anyone before they get a referral from Community Living BC (CLBC) which is part of the Ministry of Social Development and funds all of the service providers who help the disabled in BC. About three years ago, CLBC had a permanent staff located in Prince Rupert, but that changed when the Ministry of Children and Families took over services and staff meant for helping disabled children. After that, CLBC was reorganized and was centralized into regional offices, the nearest one to Prince Rupert is in Terrace. A single staff member now travels from Terrace to work in the Prince Rupert office two-and-a-half days a week. “[Getting a referral] in this community is difficult. We have families calling us and asking ‘how can I get help?’ So we say ‘ call the office in the Ocean Centre’ and they do that and they say it’s difficult to get anybody to talk to. That’s mostly because they’re not here, they’re here only twice a week,” says Compagnon. When the Prince Rupert Northern View called the local CLBC employee to talk about operations in Prince Rupert, we were asked to talk to the Terrace office. “What you got is exactly what people get in the community....Where before we used to have a social worker here and they used to come down for a meeting to help plan for people. They don’t do that anymore because their office isn’t here. Now the service providers do the planning,” says Compagnon. While Compagnon says she knows that the CLBC did not choose to have things set up the way they are (that was the Provincial Government), and that some of the concerns raised in council may be overstated, the fact that CLBC has no full-time staff in the city is a real drawback. “I think it would be nice to have an office back here in Prince Rupert, because when we did have a worker assigned to people who would come in for meetings, they could resolve things face-to-face and it was more personal. It’s like going to a doctor, and if you have a different doctor every time no one really knows you and you just get fed up with having to explain things over-and-over again,” says Compagnon.

OPINION
MY VIEW…
Polarized by the Northern Gateway... Prince Rupert took to the national stage this weekend, with over 1,000 people marching along McBride Street as part of a full day “Say no to tankers” rally against the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. Of course the spectacle of that many people making a stand against something they strongly oppose was helped quite a bit by the presence of famous faces like Bif Naked, Rafe Mair and others. Having famous people make the trip up north always seems to have more of an impact on the provincial and national media than were they not here or involved. The political debate surrounding Enbridge even made its presence felt in the opening ceremony of the All Native Basketball Tournament with the Kitamaat women sporting “No to Enbridge” t-shirts and one Gitga’at player holding up a “no to tankers” sign. While Enbridge may not seem to have much support here on the North Coast, it is certainly a polarizing project, perhaps more than any in modern history in BC. It’s the epitome of environment vs. economy, with most environmentally minded people lined up on one side and many business interests across western Canada lined up on the other. And make no mistake about it, you would likely hear a much different story here in BC than you would in Alberta, where oil is king. Both sides are very firm in their position. On the environmental side of things, the argument is that there is no acceptable risk when it comes to the environment, while on the economy side it is that minimal risk for great reward
should be a no brainer. Taken to the extreme - and I’ve heard both of these - it breaks down as follows: - The only way the environmental groups would support the project is if Enbridge 100 per cent guaranteed there would never be a spill, ever, which is an impossible guarantee. - If you didn’t do something based on “what if” you
wouldn’t leave the house because you could fall and crack your skull or get hit by a drunk driver. They’re both extreme examples, but they illustrate how passionately people on both sides of the spectrum feel. With people feeling that strongly on opposite ends of the debate, there simply can’t be compromise.

Telling Prince Rupert’s story to visitors from the industry Whenever travel writers, tour operators, or other industry partners come to Prince Rupert, we start by giving them a driving tour. It’s not a scripted tour. We adapt our presentation based on the particular interests of the visitor.

At Atlin Terminal we talk about the Halibut Capital of the World.

when we introduce them to the Museum of Northern BC, where their knowledge and interest is taken to the next level. As we move on to more specific activities – visiting Pike Island or North Pacific Cannery, going wildlife watching, or whatever we’ve planned, each new experience can be slotted into the framework of knowledge. This approach allows us to translate the whole Prince Rupert story in the shortest possible amount of time. Prince Rupert’s heritage resources provide the basis for our presentation of the community. We don’t try to tell the story chronologically. We just chat as we see the physical reminders of each aspect of our story. A community’s heritage resources are its character-defining elements. Their educational value to tourism is incidental – it is more important that our heritage defines us and helps in building community identity and pride. And as always, a good place to live makes a good place to visit.

City shouldn’t focus so much than mobile website traffic Editor: In response to: Council wonders what to do about iPhone incompatible website I’m not sure where to start. On one hand we have Alan Hale making ridiculous statements like Apple is setting the standard for the mobile internet (really? Have you seen the sorry state that is HTML5 development and the walled garden that is iTunes?) and other rants which may as well have been an Apple advertisement. Second, we have Counselor Rice concerned that on the street using her extremely expensive iPhone that she can’t look up something on the city website because of a choice in technology *she* made. How much of that technology choice was made on evaluating if it was the best technology, or was it more “this phone looks good with this outfit”? What I take personal offense to is the insinuation that in some fashion the technology department at the City should be dropping what they are doing to deal with this. I would guess that they probably have more important things to be going after on a day to day basis, especially when being questioned on the basis that “I know a guy who knows a guy who can fix the website for a couple of hundred bucks, a handshake and a smile”. Then there are the statistics. Maybe Counselor Rice should contact the City Information Technology department for some actual numbers. 60 per cent of all smartphones are Apple? Come on! What a completely ridiculous statistics. You might as well say 60 per
cent of all people use toasters to make toast, it says nothing at all about the dietary intake of the average voter. I run several very high volume websites (15,000 visits in January 2012 for example) and here are the real statistics: Microsoft Windows running Internet Explorer: 11,889 visits (78.39 per cent of all traffic) Apple OS X running any version of any browser: 1,368 visits (9.02 per cent of all traffic) Microsoft Windows running Firefox: 1,113 visits (7.34 per cent of all traffic) Microsoft Windows running Google Chrome: 694 visits (4.58 per cent of all traffic) All the mobile traffic combined: 308 visits (0.02 per cent of all traffic) If we look specifically at that mobile traffic, here is what we see: Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch: 225 visits (0.015 per cent of all traffic) All Android devices: 55 visits
(less than 0.01 per cent of all traffic) All of these had flash support! Here is the important one: Number of devices that had flash support – 12791 (over 84 per cent) Why is this important to me? Because the website I am talking about has absolutely no flash requirements. It is entirely designed with open source standards. What upsets me is we have a counselor (possibly more than one) putting effort into speaking in a public forum about spending moneyto support 0.015 per cent of all visitors pointing the finger at a technology (and a municipal service department) that is somehow to blame. Sure, on a technical level the city should discuss on their next refresh cycle to move to something more standards compliant. But to make the argument that an
extremely small portion of your traffic needs this because they have Apple products, come on. And just for clarification, HTML5 is not something Apple invented, and it is a standard that has not even been finalized. Not to mention that the gross majority of people out there do not have HTM5 standards compliant web browsers, yet. Not to mention that HTML5 is not going to fix the problems that Flash has around user interface, a
finger on a screen is still a finger on a screen. Maybe you could focus your attention on road works, specifically on Overlook, or the other dozens of streets that are falling apart in Prince Rupert. Or how about spending some time and effort cleaning up 3rd Avenue. Or addressing the homeless that can’t afford internet, let alone a shiny expensive bourgeoisie toy like an iPhone. Tim Dressel

◆ OP-ED SALVATION ARMY SUPPORT… Contributed photo
Young students from the Dance Academy of Prince Rupert wanted to contribute to the community late last year, so the dance facility decided to organize a winter relief fund. They collected $100 during their fund raising efforts, which they donated to the Prince Rupert Salvation Army.
BC JOBS PLAN: TECHNOLOGY Technology is a fast-growing sector of the B.C. economy. The industry is a magnet for highly educated professionals attracted to world-class high-tech clusters including the life-sciences, digital media and wireless, information and communications technology, ocean sciences and motion picture production. The average wage of $63,440 is more than 52% above the average for all jobs in British Columbia, which makes this sector even more attractive to job seekers. In 2009, the high-tech industry provided 84,000 jobs with a total salary bill that added up to $5.3 billion, up from $4 billion in 2007. The job growth will continue, with a projected 57,000 technology jobs opening by 2019, and an annual growth rate of 2.2%. British Columbia attracts global technology leaders, including Pixar, Disney, Boeing, MDA, Microsoft, Sierra Wireless, SAP, Dolby Canada, and Intel. These major technology companies look for a stable economy with a supply of experienced employees and a supportive government. British Columbia has both. It helps that the University of British Columbia is rated No. 1 in terms of technology licensing, an indicator of a high level of success and a culture that nurtures innovation. A healthy high-tech sector also attracts investors who are impressed by the industry’s performance. Revenues have more than tripled in the decade leading up to 2007, and were up another 4.4% by 2009, to $18.9 billion. Currently, investors receive a 30% refundable tax credit, supporting up to $100 million in investment every year. The provincial government, seeing the role they can play in this fast growing sector, will increase the value of this program by $3 million, allowing more individuals known as ‘angel investors’ to put their own capital directly into eligible small business, and to offer strategic expertise.B.C. firms attracted more than 19% of Canada’s venture capital investments in 2010, with B.C. the top province in life sciences venture capital investments. High technology wears many hats. The BC Cancer Agency is a world leader in cancer research, and B.C. is North America’s third-largest centre for film and TV production, averaging $1.2 billion in spending per year, 80% of which is foreign money. The global entertainment and media industry is expected to grow by five per cent a year to 2014, when it will hit $1.7 trillion. B.C. is well positioned to take advantage of this growth. The high-technology industry is not an island. This sector supports B.C.’s entire economy by helping other industries become more innovative, productive and globally competitive. Digital media and interactive gaming technologies are being used in education, agriculture, mining and health care. If you have a gamer in the family, and these days anyone with children qualifies, this Interior South Company will be of great interest. The brainchild of Rob Bartlett, an internet entrepreneur and gamer who launched the company in December 2009, WTFast, also known as LagKiller, speeds up massively multiplayer
online games such as World of Warcraft by 60 to 90 per cent. Within minutes users can create an account, download their software and immediately play their game. WTFast has 110,000 users across the world, including in Australia, South Africa, Germany, Thailand and South America. There are other applications beyond the gaming community. Proprietors of internet cafes and restaurants can benefit from WTFast’s advanced subscription for internet providers. Because the game data is shaped to travel at the fastest possible speed, internet service is sped up. WTFast was the overall winner of Accelerate Okanagan’s inaugural Jump:Start Challenge in November 2011. The company received $10,000 in prizes, including free enrolment for one year in Accelerate Okanagan’s Venture Acceleration Program, which helps high potential technology companies accelerate their growth; as well as one year free office space at Accelerate Okanagan’s Kelowna or Penticton innovation centres, a valuable leg-up for a young company. Other impacts are more global. With an estimated 5.3 billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide – India and China added 300 million subscribers in 2010 alone – the demand for digital, wireless and screen-based entertainment is immense. These two countries, India and China, are undergoing mass movements to urbanization, which also gives B.C. opportunities to offer them clean, efficient energy, waste reduction and health-care solutions. B.C. is perfectly aligned to supply a healthy portion of this demand in the coming years. Airplane sales around the world are expected to reach $US3.6 trillion over the next 20 years to replace aging planes and expand fleets, providing opportunities for our advanced manufacturing sector. Plus, as a climate change leader, we are at the forefront of renewable energy technology development. Finding new markets for our solar, wind, biomass and other technologies can help turn B.C. into a cleantech powerhouse. As Canada’s Pacific Gateway, B.C. is strategically located to reach growing global markets. In addition, B.C. is close to technology and entertainment hubs in Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and Seattle. Under the BC Jobs Plan, the provincial government will work with the federal government to meet our workforce needs and expedite the immigration process for researchers and scientists in other parts of the world who want to bring their expertise to British Columbia. B.C.’s fast-tracked immigration process through the Provincial Nominee Program encourages firms to locate in B.C. so they can hire experienced business immigrants. The B.C. government’s focus on this sector, identified as one of the eight key sectors with the greatest opportunity to bring new dollars into our economy from our most important trading partners, helps nurture an industry that has immense potential to accelerate growth throughout the province.

◆ ANTI-ENBRIDGE
Rally attracts national attention Continued from page 1 Throughout the day, there were a number of performances and speeches from a variety of different Enbridge opponents, such as Canadian rock singer Bif Naked and Canadian country star Shane Yellowbird, as well as Andrew Nikforuk, Peter Breeze, Fara Palmer, Rafe Mair, Garth Lenz, Murray Porter, Damien Gillis, Beth Humchitt, Ta’Kaiya Blaney and keynote speaker Art Sterritt. “[Enbridge couldn’t clean the spill] in the Gulf of Mexico, they never cleaned it up in Alaska and they could never clean it up if we were ever to allow it to happen here,” said Sterritt, who is executive director of Coastal First Nations, which represents 10
Aboriginal groups that are opposed to the project. Hartley Bay resident Kyle Clifton mentioned that if the proposed project went through and a spill ended up happening, it would be the end of his village. “If there’s a spill near Hartley Bay, that will be the end for us... Enbridge says that they’re going to have the best spill capacity in the world, and it’s the best system. But the best system in the world only accounts for 10 per cent recovery of the oil spilled, so what happens to the other ninety percent? We’re stuck with it for the rest of our people’s time,” he said. If successful, Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway project would mean construction
of twin petroleum product pipelines that would run 1,170 kilometers between Brudenheimn, Alberta and Kitimat, B.C., along the way crossing the mountainous terrains of the Northern Rockies and Coast Mountains of British Columbia. One pipeline would carry 525,000 barrels of Alberta oil per day to a new oil tanker terminal in Kitimat, with the second pipeline carrying condensate, a bitumen dilutor, to the east to be used in transporting the oil.

◆ FEATURE, PART 1 OF 2
Service providers look at helping the disabled in Rupert Continued from page 5 Pat Marshall is the manager of the CLBC branch in Terrace. She couldn’t give a ball-park estimate on how long it can take to get a referral from CLBC, saying that some will be quicker or take longer than other because they have to prioritize cases based on the level of need the person has for the services they’re trying to access. “If we have somebody who we’ll say has lost their home; their apartment’s closing, they’ve been given notice for three days from now or some horrific thing, they’re obviously going to receive priority over someone who wants to learn how to cook,” says Marshall. “Obviously if it’s a crisis, it will be responded to immediately. If it’s something like learning to cook it will be responded to as soon as a place becomes available in a program.” Marshall also points out that the staff who were helping disabled who are under 19-years-old in Prince Rupert didn’t go anywhere, they just switched from CLBC to the Ministry of Children and Families. But ultimately the decision to have the current set up was a government one. Both Marshall and Compagnon say that their organizations would gladly take part in a meeting between services providers like themselves and service users of one were set up by the city council. For it’s part, the Provincial Government did announce last month that it will be pumping millions in new funding into CLBC after an internal audit and ministerial review were made of CLBC’s operations last year.
CLBC’s operating budget is being expanded by $18-million, $10-million more for day and employment programs, and $12-million for increased case-loads. But according to a representative from the Ministry of Social Development, it’s too early to says how this will specifically change CLBC’s operations in the northwest. The reports resulted in 12 recommendations to improve services to the disabled in BC. While none of the recommendations call for more full-time staff in smaller communities, they do call for a better system for tracking demand, wait times and delivery on service requests made to CLBC and other relevant government departments. The Ministry points out that during the reviewing process deputy ministers from relevant departments such as Social Development and Finance got together to look into how services were being delivered and formed a temporary body called the Client Support Team as a way to gather feedback from service users. One of the recommendations now that the reviews are over is to create a permanent appeals mechanism to replace the Client Support Team made up of experienced case workers from different government branches. If someone has an issue with the services they’ve been receiving they will be able to ask for a review of their case by the support team or its eventual replacement, to review their case from a crossministry perspective to see if alternatives in other government departments are available to them as well, not just
CLBC. Users are also able to call the Provincial Advocate for Service Quality who can try to address problems in service delivery from any governmental department as well. Not all the services used by the needy are technically social services either. Michael Melia is the northwest director of Mental Health and Addictions for Northern Health. Melia says that his department partners with many different community groups to make help available to the needy, including sending people to visit those who are living in Raffles Inn with help from the Salvation Army. Someone in need of mental health or addiction help can access services through their doctor, at the hospital if they don’t have one, or even a call to their offices downtown or through the groups Melia’s department work with such ass the Salvation Army or the Friendship House. “We have a slogan in mental health: every door is the right door. It’s a vision that people will be able to be directed to a service that can support and help them wherever they enter. That’s the ideal situation,” says Melia. Mental Health also has life-skills workers that will act as advocates for patients, even talking to landlords to address “housing difficulties.” Look for the conclusion of this feature next week in the Prince Rupert Northern View

◆ CIHL ACTION
Rampage fall to Steelheads 10-2, swept out of playoffs By Dan Mesec Smithers Interior News With a devastating defeat over the Prince Rupert Rampage the Smithers Steelheads are headed to the second round of the CIHL playoffs, smashing the Rampage by a score of 10-2, in a two game sweep. Having only 10 skaters touch the ice, Prince Rupert knew they were in for a long night. Only a few minutes after the first drop of the puck the Steelheads went of the penalty kill, with the Rampage showing strong signs that they had come to play. Although they had more than a few good chances to bury the puck, there was nothing getting by Mike ‘The Wall’ Wall. Then, only ten minutes in, Steelheads forward Rob Miller fired one topside to get the ball rolling and put up the first point of the night.
The rest of the first period was pretty evenly matched. Both teams seemed to be keeping up with shots almost even, one to one. However, with the time winding down in the first, the Steelheads put the pressure on with only three-seconds left to secure a 2-0 lead going into the second. The second period was a disaster for the Rampage. Giving up five unanswered goals launching the Steelheads into the final chapter of the game with a 7-0 lead. The Rampage and their short bench clearly couldn’t stand up to the power and endurance of the Steelheads. Though after changing goaltenders in the third, Prince Rupert kept fighting, as tired as they were, to score two and shatter any hope of a shutout for the Steelheads. However, in the end it was the numbers that the Rampage
just couldn’t keep up with sending them packing after a long season of rebuilding. “It’s been a big turnaround year so we’re not full of numbers like we use to be,” said Rampage head coach, Tom Jackson. “We took a bunch of 30 plus year old players, and they all left the team, and we replaced them with 18 year olds and quite honestly they just don’t quit, they just keep going.” With another decisive win the Steelheads push their perfect record to 20-0 as they head into the next round of the post-season. Dan Mesec photo In a bit of an upset, the Terrace River Kings The Steelheads go on the attack during Saturday night’s playoff game in eliminated the Kitimat Ice Smithers. The loss to Smithers bumped the Rampage from the playoffs. Demons from the playoffs with a win on the road, sweeping from the playoffs in two straight. River Kings in the second round of the multi-ime Coy Cup Champions The Steelheads will now face the the playoffs.
