T

he territory’s information and privacy commissioner is urging the Yukon government to consider updating the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act so more information could be made public.

Our current law exempts some information from being released to the public.

Elsewhere, similar legislation often includes an override that would allow excluded information to be released if it was found to be in the public interest to do so.

The idea is to “consider whether or not it is, despite those exemptions, still in the public interest to disclose that information when balanced against the purpose of the exemptions, essentially,” privacy commissioner Diane McLeodMcKay said.

The commissioner wrote a letter to Public Works Minister Wade Istchenko on April 3, after hearing about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s work to identify students who died or went missing while attending residential schools.

“If a public interest override provision were included in the ATIPP Act a public body would be in a position to disclose information to an applicant, such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, after determining the public interest in disclosure outweighs the purpose of an exemption that applies under the ATIPP Act.” As of right now, officials with the Department of Health and Social Services are releasing all the information they can to the commission.

But the Yukon’s Vital Statistics Act prevents a cause of death from being made public until 100 years after a person has died.

Public interest overrides exist in many other jurisdictions, though each law is a little different.

In Ontario, an override has been in the province’s privacy legislation since it was created in 1988.

“There are times when an exemption applies under the act for information that has a confidentiality aspect to it.

But sometimes there’s a very strong public interest to seeing the record,” said David Goodis, director of legal services for the information and privacy commissioner of Ontario.

“The public interest override allows the commissioner to weigh the competing interests of confidentiality and the

Yukon’s privacy commissioner Diane McLeod-McKay wants to see the legislature update its access-to-information legislation.

public interest in disclosure.

In the right case, say the override applies and the record should be disclosed.”

In Ontario, a government department could apply the rule itself, but that rarely if ever takes place, Goodis said.

What usually happens is that the request is refused and on appeal someone argues that the override should apply.

“The commissioner has the last word on that,” he said.

Ontario’s public interest override has been used to release records concerning public safety at a nuclear generating plant, the safe operation of a petro-chemical facility, preservation of a particular building as a heritage building and salary information about senior police officials.

The office did not have data for how often the override is used. Goodis said it’s rarely applied, likely around a dozen times in its history.

In Alberta and B.C. the override that exists requires there be urgency to the need for information, McLeodMcKay said.

“In the case of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, those sections wouldn’t apply because there is no urgency to the disclosure of that information,” she said.

“So that’s why I sort of lean towards the Ontario model, because I thought it more suited the purpose.”

McLeod-McKay wouldn’t say for sure whether or not all the information sought by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission would be made public if the territory had a public interest override. That would all depend on which model of a law was chosen.

But she says it’s a possibility.

“That’s the kind of information that these kind of provisions are meant to serve.

In terms of giving that extra

look at whether or not there is a compelling public interest to the disclosure of these records, I would say that there may be.”

But there is other work that would need to be done before any override could even apply to the information that was sought by the commission.

Currently the Vital Statistics Act is one of a few acts in the territory that trumps what a person could see under our access-to-information laws.

In her letter to Istchenko, McLeod-McKay says that laws that are paramount over the ATIPP Act may unnecessarily restrict access to information.

This is not the first time that a Yukon information and privacy commissioner has called for a public-interest override.

In 2011 when the ATIPP legislation was last being overhauled, then-commissioner Tracy-Anne McPhee expressed similar concerns.

The act is next scheduled to be reviewed in 2015. McLeodMcKay, who started the job in June, said a public-interest override will be one of the recommendations she makes.

Istchenko was not available for comment.

Cabinet spokesperson Elaine Schiman said the government appreciates McLeodMcKay’s letter and her suggestions.

“In the short term, Health and Social Services has been working hard to meet the needs of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and has, we understand, found a way to provide the TRC with information that does meet their needs.”

In the long term, the information and privacy commissioner will be consulted when the ATIPP Act is reviewed in 2015, she said.

New funding fuels land-based healing Eva Holland News Reporter

T

he Yukon government announced last week that it will provide $1 million in funding to support land-based treatment programs at the Jackson Lake Healing Centre over the next three years.

The territorial money supplements a $1.5 million, three-year federal funding agreement announced by Health Canada and the Kwanlin Dun First Nation in October 2013.

The First Nation has been running residential treatment programs at Jackson Lake for the past five years, combining healing through First Nations cultural traditions with more clinical methods. The two new rounds of

funding will allow a substantial expansion of its existing offerings.

“It’s absolutely significant,” said Jeanie Dendys, director of justice for Kwanlin Dun. “The federal funding was a fund that would go towards helping us establish core staff. The focus of that fund is going to be on prevention and aftercare.”

That core staff, supported by the federal funding, is known as the Jackson Lake Wellness Team, and consists of a team coordinator, clinical counsellor, cultural counsellor and two community outreach workers. They’ll work on expanding the impact of the program to benefit participants beyond its brief residential period – with a particular focus on follow-up care to ensure that the gains made in treatment don’t slip

away.

The territorial funding, meanwhile, will go towards expanding the existing residential programs. “(It) will assist us in the delivery of the on-the-land programming,” said Dendys. “We’ll be able to commit to at least two intakes a year, and further develop the program to better meet the needs of all of our communities.”

The programs at Jackson Lake are aimed at healing the mental, emotional and physical scars of substance abuse and addiction.

While part of the programming is derived from traditional First Nations practices, it’s open to all Yukoners, not just First Nations people or Kwanlin Dun citizens.

Program participants live onsite at Jackson Lake for three to five weeks, depending on the particular

offering they’re enrolled in. The camp includes a main cabin with a kitchen, dining and meeting space, woodstove-heated wall tents for dormitories, outhouses and a wash house.

On the clinical side, participants engage in regular group discussions and circle work. Traditional First Nations approaches to healing employed at Jackson Lake include a sweat lodge, smudging ceremonies, and singing. The program also includes hunting and fishing, making items like fishnets, drums and moccasins, and visits from elders.

Kwanlin Dun has commissioned detailed evaluations of past intakes at Jackson Lake, and has found that the programming has been well received and had a positive impact on a majority

of participants. “With the strong prayers and smudging, I felt lifted – left the bad stuff in there and got a better feeling for self and family,” said one participant.

Another noted that being out on the land was a new experience for him. “Not the thing to do (growing up) in an alcohol dominated home,” he said. “Has a healing effect.”

As with so many residential programs aimed at healing the effects of substance abuse, the Jackson Lake program faces challenges when its participants return home to their regular lives. The hope is that the new funding arrangements, both federal and territorial, will help Kwanlin Dun tackle those challenges, and to provide expanded, and more effective, landbased healing to more Yukoners.

Caribou Legs reaches Yukon border in run for Peel Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

Caribou Legs is on the move.

Brad Firth, a.k.a. Caribou Legs, is a Gwich’in ultra runner. On April 2 he began a run from Inuvik to Whitehorse to deliver letters from the people of the Mackenzie Delta to Premier Darrell Pasloski, urging him to protect the Peel watershed.

He made it to the Yukon border Sunday.

“I feel up for the challenge!”

Firth wrote on his Facebook page Monday morning, contemplating the 100-kilometres ahead to Eagle Plains. “My body is recharged and primed for more mountain road running!”

As of Wednesday morning Firth and Trixie the dog were 50 kilometres south of Eagle Plains.

“Road is slippery because no gravel at all!” he wrote. “Trixie is slippin n slidin. She needs mukluks!”

watershed,” Firth told the News in February. “And what it’s done for them, how hurt they are right now, how afraid they are, how tense and anxious they are right now.”

Firth’s goal is to reach Whitehorse by April 22.

On that day there will be a rally in front of the Yukon legislature.

Firth will read some of the letters before delivering them to the premier.

Beginning in May, Firth plans to run all the way from Vancouver back to Inuvik to raise awareness and support for the Peel.

Regular updates on Firth’s progress can be found at the Caribou Legs Facebook page.

Firth plans to make it to Dawson

by April 15.

“No services for 371 km after today! Looks like we’re ruffin it!”

Firth started running about seven years ago. It was a big part of how he got away from a life of addiction, living on the streets of Vancouver.

He recently moved backed to his hometown of Inuvik, N.W.T. After hearing about the Yukon government’s plan to open 71 per cent of the Peel watershed to new mineral staking and development, he found a new reason to run.

For the past few months he has collected letters from people in Inuvik, Aklavik, Tuktoyaktuk, Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic about why they want to see protection for the Peel.

Leef’s criminal code amendment is on the right track T

he Yukon branch of the Canadian Bar Association supports the introduction of Yukon MP Ryan Leef ’s private member’s bill to improve access to justice for individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).

The bill would require the courts to consider, as a mitigating factor in sentencing, a determination that the offender suffers from FASD, if the condition was relevant or contributed to the commission of the offence.

The CBA Yukon has been advocating on this issue for years. This bill represents the most significant step forward that we have seen to date in the quest for access to justice for individuals in the criminal justice system born with this neurological disability.

The CBA Yukon urges nonpartisan, all party support in principle so that this bill can get to a parliamentary committee for further study and make any necessary amendments.

Last summer our Canadian Bar Association, a national organization of over 37,000 lawyers, adopted a policy resolution proposed by the CBA Yukon calling for specific changes to the criminal law as it applies to individuals with FASD. Mr. Leef ’s bill adopts the CBA resolution recommendations to define FASD, order assessments, and treat FASD as a mitigating factor in determining sentences, although it doesn’t include our recommendations for external support orders or changes to the federal Corrections and Conditional Release Act to accommodate FASD as a disability when providing correctional services to inmates with FASD. CBA Yukon has also called on the Yukon government to amend the territorial Correc-

tions Act to accommodate individuals with FASD in the Yukon corrections system. Mr. Leef has acknowledged his bill does not address prevention or programming in correctional facilities, which he agrees are necessary.

CBA Yukon shares his hope that his bill will further discussion and will lead to the development of complementary legislation. It is our hope that the Yukon government, which has shown national leadership on the FASD issue, will be inspired by Mr. Leef ’s bill to take action in our correctional system to make a difference for individuals with FASD. Individuals with FASD are in contact with the criminal justice system more frequently than the general population because often their ability to control impulsive behaviour, to understand the consequences of their actions, and to internally modify their behaviour is impaired because of their disability. We can do better than we are currently to address this access to justice issue.

T

with no emotional connection losing an individual nearer the end of their life receives the same payment as someone suffering a severe emotional blow as his adult life begins.

Conversely, an 80-year-old father losing a 60-year-old son sees the same compensation as a 40-year-old father losing a 20-year-old son. It would be fairer and more efficient to have flexibility in the awards granted to adults who lose adult family members by granting the courts the authority to determine awards commensurate with loss.

Fixed amounts make more sense in cases we are sure that the loss is substantially premature and/or we are reasonably sure of the emotional toll. The losses of dependent children and spouses are examples of such cases. There is no doubt that the loss of a dependent child is premature, and that an emotional connection exists between spouses (or else they would presumably separate).

When the Alberta Law Reform commission investigated bereavement damages the main issue they identified was parents being unable to work for long periods after the loss of a child, and the need to ensure compensation for that loss of income. This is

Get involved with your local school council There are important elections coming this spring – Yukon school council elections take place May 5, 2014.

School councils play an important role because of their authority to make decisions that have an impact on the direction and quality of public education, at the school, community and Yukon levels.

School councils address public education issues that are important to their community.

A locally elected school council plays an instrumental part in what and how the students learn.

School councils can help build, strengthen, and support the social, cultural and academic knowledge base of their community.

Most importantly, school councils keep the public in public education.

Get out and participate in your school community! Nomination papers are in school offices as of April 14, and nominations close at noon on April 24.

We encourage you to consider being a candidate, or nominate candidates who will work as a member of your school community team.

And finally, get out and vote for those you know will provide a broad base of community representation, all sharing a passion and focus on what is best for student learning.

that grief and, as Yukoners pay for these damages in the form of insurance premiums, it bears reviewing the balance struck by the legislature.

When considering the appropriateness of damages we must first consider the purpose of awarding the damages in the first place. In our case the damages cannot simply be payment for the general grief of loss, as the human condition ensures that we all eventually lose the ones we love.

The damages must logically relate to premature loss of life, compensation for the grief associated with losing a close relation sooner than expected, and the repercussions flowing from same.

It is in delivering on this purpose that the proposed amendment falls down. The fixed nature of the bereavement damages have the effect of potentially granting large awards to individuals who perhaps do not warrant them, while depressing payments to individuals who do warrant them.

As an example, under the proposed amendments a 60-yearold estranged son losing an 80-year-old father would see the same award as a 20-year-old son who lost a father with whom he was close. This is not the most efficient of outcomes, as a person

ing carbon asset risk. It is now widely accepted, after this year’s report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that only up to one-third of proven fossil fuel reserves can be burned without sending us into climate catastrophe.

It is expected that we may have already blown past two degrees of warming global temperature, which was agreed to universally as being unacceptable at the signing of the Copenhagen accord. However, a tax on carbon emissions that was reinvested in renewable technologies could pay real dividends in energy for the future.

Instead of working together as a community, a territory and a country, we seem set to continue a path of tension and conflict.

From my perspective, our region in particular needs to come to terms with the challenges and opportunities fast approaching us. In order to address these, we will need every bright mind, every pair of hands and every person as healthy as possible.

a strong economic rationale for introducing a fixed payment, as grieving parents currently have no avenue to address losses suffered from an inability to return to work.

Following the above, it is my opinion that we would achieve more appropriate bereavement damage awards by providing fixed payments to spouses and parents of dependent children while moving to a flexible award for other adults suffering losses.

Adults suffering losses of adult children or parents would apply to court for a determination of the losses based on a given situation. This does have the downside of forcing individuals to possibly attend court to argue over what a child or parent meant to them, but it will ensure that the damages are commensurate with a given loss.

Again, this is a difficult topic to discuss, as it is very easy to create a negative sound-bite out of a given position, but I would encourage the government to revisit the amendment to the act before final reading and bring in a hybrid award system that ensures appropriate bereavement damages to appropriate individuals.

It is time for us to all to work towards enabling every citizen to participate in the building of our collective future. And a crucial component in all this is free prior and informed consent.

So much for ‘balance’ Definition of propaganda: “ideas or statements that are often false or exaggerated and that are spread in order to help a cause, a political leader, a government, etc.”

The Yukon government insert in Friday’s paper featured a beautiful panoramic view of the Peel River. The grandeur of the photo evokes a sense of awe and it implies that this government also values this land and strives for good stewardship of it.

Actually, the so called “balanced plan” is a direct betrayal of the Peel and the people who love and honour it.

Critics brand Harper government’s victims bill of rights as political cynicism Colin Perkel Canadian Press

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. rime victims would have more say as their cases wind their way through the justice system under a new Conservative government bill that veteran lawyers immediately denounced as crass politics.

The long-awaited legislation, part of the government’s ongoing law-and-order theme, aims to fix what Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Thursday was a broken part of the system.

“The rights of criminals have received far more attention than the rights of their victims,” Harper said at a seniors’ centre.

“Justice is not only for the accused; it is also for the victims.”

The proposed law – similar to one passed in Ontario almost 20 years ago – would ensure victims are given information about cases in which they are

C

involved, such as a copy of a bail or probation order, or details of a criminal’s parole.

Other measures would mandate judges to take into account the safety of victims during bail proceedings, and the harm an accused has caused during sentencing.

Several defence lawyers branded the legislation as a calculated political ploy that victims of crime had fallen for.

“The (bill) is an example of a community that has sold itself to the Conservatives for a mess of porridge,” said Clayton Ruby.

“They need rehabilitative programs and services, and compensation from the government, and they’ve dropped all those expensive demands in favour of shallow symbolism.”

Other measures include a standardized victim-impact form that could also be used by review boards deciding what should happen to someone

found not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder.

Another section would give victims the right to ask a court to consider ordering restitution for offences where financial losses are easy to calculate.

Frank Addario, another Toronto-based criminal lawyer, said the Conservative government’s agenda is to position itself as tough on crime, even though it knows its measures have little real-world effect.

“It’s cynicism masquerading as policy,” Addario said.

“We did not need a new law for government to tell itself that it should communicate with victims about criminal cases.”

Several victims rights advocates were on hand for the announcement, including former pro-hockey player Sheldon Kennedy, who was sexually abused by his minor-league coach.

“I’m not naive to think that

we’re going to flip a switch and everything’s going to be better,” Kennedy said.

“But being able to have this announcement…is going to start the process of trying to be better at the way we handle victims, not only through the court process, but really understanding the damage that happens to victims.”

Some critics wondered who would pay for a new complaints mechanism that federal departments involved in the justice system would have to set up for those victims who feel their rights have been infringed.

The money, they said, would be better spent on victim services than on a whole new bureaucracy.

“I don’t think this bill was necessary because basically what’s needed is education and properly funded victim services across the country,” said Bill Trudell, chairman of the

Canadian Council of Criminal Defence Lawyers.

Harper made no mention of a proposed change to the Canada Evidence Act – contained in a few paragraphs in the 68-page bill – that would give prosecutors free hand to force spouses to testify against each other.

The lawyers said they did not expect the measure would have much impact given that spousal testimony comes into play in relatively few cases, and compelled evidence may be unreliable anyway.

Harper did say he was aware of widespread concern that giving victims more rights could bog down an already overloaded criminal justice system but said the legislation avoided that pitfall by not creating “victims as litigants.”

The Assembly of First Nations said the government had not properly consulted First Nations about the legislation.

place,” Harper said during an event in Mississauga, Ont. “To the extent there are disputes around nomination processes, these disputes are referred to the national council of the party. In our party, the leader does not appoint candidates and he does not run the nomination process. These are led by the national council of the party.”

Lauer, the head of one of the party’s internal committees, immediately began emailing members of the riding association board to gather information. He is a longtime Conservative and member of the national council.

Lauer was originally the person tasked with overseeing the nomination in the riding since former executive director

Dimitri Soudas was supposed to have nothing to do with the process. Soudas and Adams are engaged.

Instead, Soudas resigned Sunday amid mounting concerns he was actively helping Adams secure the nomination, a violation of the terms of his contract.

Adams is running against Natalia Lishchyna, a local chiropractor who is supported by most of the board.

Among the allegations against Adams is that she was verbally abusive to members during a tense meeting last month, an incident she says has been exaggerated to benefit her rival.

The board also shared its concerns that Adams has had an unfair advantage by gaining

access to party membership lists, and using her House of Commons mailing privileges to contact those members.

Adams has said that she has followed all rules.

She had also been the subject of an earlier complaint to the prime minister by an Ottawa gas station owner. John Newcombe accused Adams of rude behaviour during a dispute over a car wash in late December, using her car to partially block access to the gas pumps for 15 minutes.

Adams has said she merely wanted to run her car through the wash again, and was directed to different parking spots by two attendants. She said she apologized to Newcombe and regrets the incident.

Gifts from Putin to Harper now awkward mementoes Dean Beeby Canadian Press

OTTAWA hey are the awkward mementoes of happier times, a closet-full of gifts that Prime Minister Stephen Harper graciously accepted from Russian President Vladimir Putin as recently as last September.

An original painting, aged cognac, books and handpainted ceramics recalling Russia’s imperialist tradition – all of them duly declared to Canada’s ethics commissioner as personal gifts received from Putin.

And then there are the items received in 2010 from Viktor Yanukovych, then-president of Ukraine who was ousted in disgrace this year.

Yanukovych gave the prime minister a leather-bound, gold-inlaid atlas of Ukraine, now presumably out of date with the loss of the Crimean Peninsula to Russia.

And there was a bronze statue of Bohdan Zenobi Chmielnicki (died 1657), considered a national hero and the father of an independent Ukraine, today perhaps turning in his grave.

Since 2006, Harper has officially declared more than a dozen personal gifts from Putin, all of them associated with international summits in Vladivostok and St. Petersburg.

Yanukovych’s gifts were accepted during Harper’s October 2010 visit to Ukraine, when the Ukrainian prime minister, Mykola Azarov, and a bishop also gave him goingaway presents as souvenirs.

The prime minister has kept them all, with the exception of the bronze statue. That item was forfeited to the people of Canada, under rules that require gifts valued at more than

T

$1,000 to be turned over to the Crown.

The rest of the gift declarations give no dollar value for the items.

Federal rules say public office holders and their families are allowed to accept gifts “as a normal expression of courtesy or protocol, or within the customary standards of hospitality that normally accompany the public office holder’s position.”

Such gifts worth $200 or more have to be declared with the ethics commissioner’s office within 30 days of receipt.

Harper has aggressively locked horns with Putin over the Ukraine crisis, and imposed travel bans and economic sanctions against Yanukovych and his officials until they were forced to leave the country.

Harper distributed an estimated $30,000 worth of gifts to presidents, prime ministers and other officials when he was host of the G8 and G20 summits in Huntsville, Ont., and Toronto in June 2010.

Russia at the time was represented by President Dmitry Medvedev, who gave Harper a tea set and received in return a hand-crafted sugar-maple bowl, among other booty.

A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister’s Office said Harper has given Putin gifts in the past, but did not specify the venue, their nature or value. Anna Tomala also confirmed that Harper has not returned any of his declared gifts, whether from Putin or anyone else.

Many of the gifts received by the prime minister are kept in storage, including in the attic of the official residence at 24 Sussex Drive, with some on display in his offices.

Marois resigns after Parti Quebecois suffers resounding loss in Quebec election Andy Blatchford Canadian Press

MONTREAL he party of Rene Levesque absorbed a devastating electoral blow Monday, a loss that knocked the Parti Quebecois’s vote count back four decades to its days as a fledgling political outfit.

The result could trigger an existential emergency for the PQ, as it faces the realization that its very raison d’etre – Quebec independence – has been deemed politically toxic.

Pauline Marois announced her departure after Monday’s defeat and very likely became the last PQ leader who will have served alongside Levesque, the party’s founding father.

Levesque’s first generation of troops has failed in its mission to secede from Canada, but the next generation vowed Monday to fight on, with Marois’s blessing.

“There’s a changing of the guard in the Parti Quebecois, a changing of the guard that represents the future,” Marois told a chanting room of supporters in Montreal during a consolation speech in which she announced she would resign.

“And like Mr. Levesque had the habit of saying: ‘The future is long.’ ‘’ In its first-ever election in 1970, the PQ won less than 24 per cent of the popular vote. On Monday, it captured 25 per cent.

Looking to the future, the PQ ranks include several possible successors who could make a run for the leadership.

Among the potential candidates are magnate-turnedpolitician Pierre Karl Peladeau as well as Marois cabinet ministers Bernard Drainville and JeanFrancois Lisee.

All three men delivered fiery speeches in the Old Montreal ho-

tel before Marois took the stage.

Drainville told the enthusiastic crowd that he wasn’t ready to give up on the sovereignty project.

“We will never abandon it – never!” Drainville shouted into the microphone before leading the party faithful’s traditional chant of ‘We want a country, we want a country.’

But it’s unclear what the future holds for the PQ. The resounding loss at the hands of the Liberals is likely to force the pro-independence party

to do some soul searching as it faces the grim possibility that its dream of a sovereign Quebec is on hold for several years.

The PQ has headed a Quebec government for only 18 months out of the last decade and has not earned at least 40 per cent of the popular vote since 1998, now a span of five general elections.

It did, however, cling to Official Opposition status Monday after finishing ahead of the Coalition party.

of Charlevoix-Cote-de-Beaupre, came to power as Quebec’s first woman premier in September 2012 after winning 54 seats and 32 per cent of the popular vote.

“The defeat of our party tonight without a doubt saddens me as much as you, if not more than you,” said Marois, who called the election last month when the PQ was atop the polls.

Entering the campaign, opinion polls had suggested the minority PQ government was within striking distance of securing a majority mandate.

But that support began to slide

after Peladeau, Marois’s superstar candidate, raised his fist in the air and vowed to make Quebec a country – an idea most Quebecers oppose.

Marois followed up the Quebecor majority owner’s dramatic proclamation by musing for days about how a sovereign Quebec would operate.

Looking back, Peladeau’s maiden political speech was perhaps too forceful, said PQ supporter Steve Beauchamp.

“Maybe he came on a little too strong when he put his fist in the air – it might have been a

bit much,” Beauchamp said as he watched the results roll in at the Montreal rally.

“Maybe he scared a lot of people.”

Beauchamp, 31, said the entrance of Peladeau, one of the most powerful media moguls in Canada, might have been the turning point in the PQ campaign.

The party will have to decide how to proceed now that secession – its dream – has proven so hazardous to its political fortunes.

“Yes, certainly we have our answer tonight,” said Beauchamp, when asked if sovereignty had become toxic for the PQ. Peladeau, meanwhile, won his seat Monday in Saint-Jerome, north of Montreal.

With his entry into the national assembly, he will likely become a contender to succeed Marois.

Following his victory in Saint-Jerome, Peladeau was asked whether his pro-independence enthusiasm during that inaugural speech may have hurt the PQ. “Listen, I joined the Parti Quebecois, I joined a sovereigntist party – I am a sovereigntist,” said Peladeau, who also laid what could be the groundwork for an eventual leadership run.

“I will make every effort, all my energy to work for economic development. I really believe that in the 21st century Quebec is a nation.

“It must increase its wealth, it must maintain this capacity that are our values and we do it with the solidarity that has accompanied it.”

PQ supporters who gathered at Marois’s rally fell silent after media outlets began to project a convincing Liberal win, mere minutes after polls closed Monday night.

Inside the Old Montreal hotel, small Quebec flags were handed out to the crowd. The mood, however, was sombre and few people bothered waving the fleurde-lis at all.

Some people consoled each other with hugs and pats on the back. A few in the crowd rubbed their red eyes.

The audience booed loudly when a TV screen showed an image of Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard and announced he had defeated a PQ incumbent.

However, the crowd came alive with chants when Peladeau, Lisee and Drainville took the stage.

Lisee told the audience of

several hundred people that at 90,000 members, the PQ has a bigger membership than all the other parties combined.

“And this Parti Quebecois that Rene Levesque created, it survived the Bourassa years and it took power, it survived the Charest years and it took power, and it will survive the Couillard years and will take power,” Lisee said, drawing booming applause.

Security was particularly tight inside and outside the hotel, strengthened following the deadly election-night shooting during Marois’s 2012 victory celebration.

Police cruisers were parked in front of the building, as well as in a back alley. Bags were searched and attendees had to pass through an airport-style metal detector to gain access to the rally, which was on the 11th floor.

the Montreal club that held Marois’s election-night rally, killing stagehand Denis Blanchette and wounding his colleague David Courage.

Marois timed the snap election to try to take advantage of rookie leader Couillard’s lack of experience and, more importantly, so she could capitalize on a boost in the popularity of the PQ, thanks to its secularism charter.

Support for the party appeared to reach new heights on the back of the charter, a controversialyet-popular project introduced last fall that would have banned public employees from wearing overt religious symbols in the workplace.

Polls suggested the charter was popular with a majority of Quebecers, but surveys also found that most people in the province considered issues like immigrant integration to be far from a prior-

ity, well behind more pressing issues like health care, fighting corruption and job creation.

The PQ campaign struggled to gain traction with the charter and continued to be haunted by its sovereignty talk.

Following Peladeau’s proclamation, Marois spent several days talking about how an independent Quebec would operate – complete with talk of open borders with Canada and the continued use of the loonie in Quebec.

It was a surprising strategy, considering how polls have for years suggested that most Quebecers oppose secession from Canada. The PQ has long been forced to walk a fine line on the subject of independence, still a priority for hardcore supporters.

For days, Marois’s rivals attacked her on the referendum issue. Journalists peppered her

with questions. The party tried to pivot, but to no avail.

Indeed, the shift in strategy led to a telling, headline-grabbing moment when Marois gently – but firmly – pushed Peladeau away from a microphone as she tried to regain control of her campaign’s message.

In the final days of the campaign, Marois admitted she had regrets and said she wouldn’t have answered questions about sovereignty if she could have gone back in time.

On Monday, the 65-year-old political veteran, whom Levesque named as his minister of state for the status of women in 1981, stood on stage with the crowd chanting “Pauline, Pauline.”

“Quebecers have spoken and we must respect this result,” Marois, her eyes glistening under her glasses, told supporters before leaving the podium.

Ex auditor general Fraser slams elections bill as attack on democracy Joan Bryden Canadian Press

OTTAWA heila Fraser, the former auditor general who became a virtual folk hero for exposing the sponsorship scandal, is training her sights on what she sees as a new abuse by the federal government: its controversial overhaul of Canada’s election laws.

Fraser, who co-chairs an advisory board created by chief electoral officer Marc Mayrand last fall, told The Canadian Press she believes Bill C-23, if allowed to pass without significant amendments, would constitute an attack on Canada’s democracy.

Among other things, the proposed legislation would disenfranchise thousands of voters, undercut the independence of the chief electoral watchdog, impede investigations into wrongdoing, give a financial advantage to rich, established parties and undermine Canadians’ faith in the electoral system, she said.

And she urged Canadians to speak up against the sweeping bill.

“Elections are the base of our democracy and if we do not have truly a fair electoral process and one that can be managed well by a truly independent body, it really is an attack on our democracy and we should all be concerned about that,” Fraser said in an interview.

remarks, the NDP requested that Fraser be invited to testify next week before the House of Commons committee studying the bill. The party’s democratic reform critic, Craig Scott, expressed hope that such strong words from such a highly respected figure will be a “tipping point” that finally forces the government to back down.

But the Harper government

has so far been impervious to the near-universal condemnation of the bill by federal and provincial elections watchdogs, academics and electoral experts at home and abroad.

On Wednesday, Democratic Reform Minister Pierre Poilievre said the bill is “terrific” just the way it is. Other Conservatives brushed off critics as ill-informed, resistant to change or downright hysterical.

Asked repeatedly Thursday about Fraser’s intervention, Poilievre did not specifically address the former auditor general’s concerns or even mention her name. Rather, he appeared to suggest she’s simply parrotting Elections Canada’s point of view.

“We have already said that we were aware of Elections Canada’s positions on these issues.

We just happen to disagree,” he told the Commons.

But Prime Minister Stephen Harper may find it harder to shrug off Fraser’s scathing critique. As Opposition leader, he was one of her most ardent fans 10 years ago when she concluded that civil servants “broke just about every rule in the book” in administering the Chretien government’s sponsorship program.

“Her competence and her courage have shone a bright light on the mismanagement, incompetence and corruption that this Liberal government has been trying to hide for more than a decade,” Harper said in a 2004 speech, referring to Fraser as “the mother of all accountants” and praising her for not pulling any punches. “(She) did not say that she thought that something smelled fishy. She identified the fish.”

Fraser was equally blunt about the fishy smell she believes is emanating from the so-called Fair Elections Act. She said it appears to be motivated by a desire to rein in Elections Canada, which has been a thorn in the side of the Conservatives.

The independent agency nailed the Conservative party for the illegal in-and-out scheme used to exceed its spending limit in the 2006 election; exposed illegal overspending by former cabinet minister Peter Penashue; has charged Harper’s one-time parliamentary secretary Dean Del Mastro with filing a false campaign return and failing to report campaign expenses; and is still investigating complaints about robocalls that misdirected primarily non-Conservative voters to the wrong polling stations in the 2011 election.

Fraser pointed to the bill’s proposal to hive off the elections commissioner, who investigates alleged wrongdoing, from Elections Canada, thereby separating the regulation and enforcement functions of the agency and making it more difficult for investigators to tap the expertise of elections officials. She also noted that the bill fails to give the commissioner the power to compel witness testimony.

Wednesday, April 9, 2014 “Those provisions say to me that this is really a bit of an attack on Elections Canada and I find that really unfortunate because I really do believe Mr. Mayrand has done his job with great integrity, has certainly not shown the bias that some would like to claim he has and I just think it’s really terrible the way he’s been treated by government.”

As a former independent officer of Parliament, Fraser is particularly troubled by the limitations the bill would impose on the chief electoral officer’s independence. Among other things, it would prohibit him from communicating with Canadians on anything but the mechanics of how, when and where to vote and it would prohibit the elections commissioner from talking about investigations.

“Independent officers of Parliament and the government is now restricting what they can say? It’s just so inappropriate,” she said.

The bill would also require the chief electoral officer to seek prior Treasury Board approval to enter into contracts with people with specialized or technical knowledge – including the advisory board which Fraser now co-chairs.

“It’s just offensive that the chief electoral officer can not have an advisory group without having to get approval from ministers. It’s just astounding to me.”

Not only that, she said it could create “operational headaches” if Elections Canada must get prior approval to hire the thousands of temporary specialists and elections officials needed to run an election.

It’s crucial to the credibility of Elections Canada that the chief electoral officer have the independence to say and do what he feels necessary to ensure the integrity of the electoral system, Fraser argued.

“Not only for Elections Canada but for all the agents of Parliament, the credibility of what these agents do is really based upon their independence and that they are viewed by the public as being objective, that they base their rulings, opinions, whatever they may do based on fact, that they run, in the case of Elections Canada, a fair elections process.

“And if that independence from government is attacked or is viewed as not being there, I really think those institutions lose the credibility and the respect that they have from the public. And then if people start to doubt about the elections process, where does that leave us in this country?”

The former auditor general is also troubled by a provision that would allow political parties to exempt from their campaign spending limits any money spent to raise funds from people who’ve donated at least $20 over the previous five years.

She said that amounts to a giant loophole that would allow

well-established parties to spend untold millions more during campaigns but would be “unfair” to new parties, which have no history of past donors.

Moreover, she questioned how pitches for donations can be distinguished from pitches for voter support and how Elections Canada could monitor and verify that the exemption was not being abused. She noted that the bill does not give the agency the power to audit party books or demand to see their records, invoices or receipts – a

power successive chief electoral officers have long sought.

“There’s such a fuss being made about lunch money and what (politicians) spend for travel and (yet) the political parties get more than $30 million (in rebates and tax credits) and there’s no real accounting back,” Fraser said.

“In this era when everybody’s talking about increased transparency and accountability, why would they not be subject to some kind of audit?”

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair

said Fraser’s critique proves what his party has said from the outset: that the bill is aimed at “stacking the deck in favour of the Conservatives.” Nevertheless, he said he’s “puzzled” by Poilievre’s refusal to acknowledge any problems with it.

“It’s almost as if the minister is delusional,” Mulcair said.

“He keeps affirming that everything’s fine with his bill but every single expert in Canada, no matter whose side they’re on, has come out and said this is an undemocratic bill.”

Sewing shop gets a refresh Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

L

eisa Gattie-Thurmer has big plans for the shop formerly known as the Golden Thimble.

She took over ownership of the downtown fabric and sewing store in March. She has renamed it the Bolt & Button.

The previous owner, Dung Le, sold the shop so she could retire.

Gattie-Thurmer’s professional history is in teaching and fashion design.

For years she has been a part of textiles and fashion programs at Whitehorse high schools.

Her dream is to have a space that is part fabric store, part sewing school.

It’s a space that’s “busy and creative and fun,” said GattieThurmer. “It’s a place to come and hang out and get inspired.”

Those familiar with the Golden Thimble won’t see any drastic changes. The store still offers alteration and repair services, and many of the same products.

But there will be new offerings, too.

“I’ve been slowly making some changes, rearranging and freshening up the stock, buying different lines of fabric and expanding on what was already here,” said Gattie-Thurmer.

The hot fabric right now is “anything with stretch,” she said, “drapey, whooshy fabric.”

Flowers, big prints, and bright colours are all in.

So is, surprisingly, camouflage canvas.

“I don’t know why that’s a big one.”

When Gattie-Thurmer was a teen in Whitehorse in the 80s, there wasn’t much going on in terms of fashion, she said.

She first turned to punk culture to express herself through clothing, she said. Eventually, she left the Yukon to study fashion design in Vancouver.

These days, the kids are still turning to sewing as a way to express their individuality, said Gattie-Thurmer.

And older generations are drawn to it because of an urge to “get back to grassroots of doing things for themselves,” she said.

It has more to do with a feeling of self-sufficiency and accomplishment than thriftiness.

“It used to be that it was cheaper to make your own clothes, but these days it’s not.

“It’s quite expensive, but people do it because they love the artwork and they love the design work and they love the satisfaction of creating something when they’re done.

The interest in the store has already been overwhelming, she said.

Jesse Winter/Yukon News

Leisa Gattie-Thurmer took over the Golden Thimble in March and renamed the store to Bolt & Button.

Mike Thomas/Yukon News

“I’m actually surprised by the amount of people I’ve met just in the last month who have a background in something to do with fashion or the arts or design. We’ve had some great conversations and they’re pretty excited to see new fabrics coming in that relate to interior design or garment construction.”

Soon, the store will begin

to offer regular sewing classes.

They will cover everything from the basics of getting to know your sewing machine to advanced sewing techniques.

Learning how to sew is rewarding for both student and teacher, said Gattie-Thurmer.

“I really like when people realize that they can do it. They think that it’s pretty complicated

and hard. I start really simple and build on skills, and it’s pretty fun to see them go, ‘Oh my God, I did this.’”

Students can bring their own machines or rent time on one from the store.

Private and small group lessons will also be available.

Gattie-Thurmer wants to hear from the community about

what they want to see in the store, she said.

If there’s an interest in a class that she’s not qualified to teach, Gattie-Thurmer will try and find someone who is, she said.

Governments, scientists to debate future of fossil fuels at climate meeting Frank Jordans Associated Press

BERLIN fter concluding that global warming almost certainly is man-made and poses a grave threat to humanity, the U.N.-sponsored expert panel on climate change is moving on to the next phase: what to do about it.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, will meet next week in Berlin to chart ways in which the world can curb the greenhouse gas emissions that scientists say are overheating the planet.

It is also trying to give estimates on what it would cost.

In the third report of a landmark climate assessment, the IPCC is expected to say that to keep warming in check, the world needs a major shift in investments from fossil fuels – the principal source of man-made carbon emissions – to renewable energy.

“Underlying this report is a lot of technical analysis of the different solutions, for example wind energy, solar, better energy efficiency and what is the cost of that,” said Jake Schmidt, international climate policy director at the National Resources Defence Council, a

Washington-based environmental group. “And there will also be some discussions of how deep global cuts are needed to put us onto these different climate trajectories.”

A leaked draft of the report sent to governments in December suggests that in order to keep global temperature increases below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F) by the end of the century – the stated goal of international climate talks – emissions need to fall by 40-70 per cent by 2050.

Investments in fossil fuels such as oil and coal would have to drop by $30 billion a year, while spending on renewables would have to go up by $147 billion annually, according to the draft.

That message is likely to face opposition from the fossil fuel industry and countries that depend on it.

Earlier this week, Exxon Mobile said the world’s climate policies are “highly unlikely” to stop it from selling fossil fuels far into the future.

That contrasted with a message from U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres, who told oil and gas industry officials in London on Thursday that three-quarters of the fossil fuel reserves still in the ground needs to stay there for the world to achieve the 2-degree target.

“We must look past the next quarter, past the end of the decade, into the second half of the century by which time the global economy must be carbon neutral,” Figueres said.

The alternative plan to mitigate climate change would involve coming up with new ways to scrub carbon out of the atmosphere or

prevent too much sunlight from being trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases.

Known as geoengineering, ideas floated from time to time include dropping tons of iron into the ocean to make carbon-munching algae bloom or putting an umbrella in space to shield us from the sun.

Many scientists and campaigners believe such ideas are unlikely to work.

“My own scientific point of view is that it’s too dangerous,” said Bill Hare, lead author of the IPCC’s 2007 report on mitigation. “It’s got to be assessed though. You can’t just ignore it.”

Opponents say possible disastrous side effects from geoengineering could include a change in the monsoon pattern or a widening of the ozone hole that could threaten the lives of millions.

Observers will be watching for how much attention the IPCC gives to the issue when they wrangle over the wording of the final report next week in Berlin. The draft mentions it only briefly.

The two previous reports in the IPCC’s first comprehensive assessment of climate since 2007 said it’s 95-per cent certain that climate change is man-made and highlighted the damage it is projected to inflict on economies, crops and human health. lanyards & i.d. badges 207 Main Street

668-3447

The latest report also focuses on the costs associated with keeping warming below 2 degrees C. The draft projects consumption losses of 1-4 per cent by 2030. That number is highly uncertain, though, and may be changed or deleted altogether in Berlin.

Another controversial part of the report is the one dealing with who should pay for efforts to curb climate change – an issue that’s at the heart of U.N. negotiations on a new global climate agreement, set to be adopted by 2015. Poor and middle-income countries say they need more help from rich countries to switch to low-carbon energy sources.

The IPCC, which is a scientific body, tries to steer clear of politics, but notes that mitigation could involve financial transfers “in the order of hundreds of billions of dollars per year before mid-century.”

By most measures, the West, which underwent industrialization earlier, has historically pumped more carbon into the atmosphere than newly emerging economies such as China, which has the world’s highest carbon emissions.

“The main bone of contention will be how the cost is factored and how it’s shared across the world,” said Schmidt, of the National Resources Defence Council. “We’re making decisions now that are building out our potential carbon infrastructure for decades. You can turn some of that off but there’s a cost and implication for society in the future.”

THE

ARTS

Shaping icons for private selves Meg Walker Special for the News

S

tones made of paper, baby clothes sewn from vintage curtains, and roses cast in porcelain are some of the surprising moments in the three solo shows that Helen O’Connor, Michele Karch-Ackerman and Rosemary Scanlon present at the Yukon Arts Centre.

Each artist explores how personal investment in a private iconography is shaped by collective experiences, some positive and some that need to be reclaimed.

The opening night for Salutation (O’Connor, Yukon), Foundling (KarchAckerman, Ontario), and The Rose Parade (Scanlon, Yukon) was a unique time to see the works. That afternoon, O’Connor brought a performance into her “Singing Stones” installation.

The sculpted stones are hollow and lightweight, in creamy hues. Helene Beaulieu played classical guitar while Monique Romieko danced with the stones, sometimes around them, sometimes lifting them. Seen now without the dance piece, a beautiful contrast continues between the heaviness implied by the boulder shapes and the translucent surfaces.

O’Connor built the stones by preparing a paper pulp of willow and gampi (a Japanese shrub) and placing the fibrous mixture over glacial erratics at Primrose Lake. When dry, she removed them so gently that their shape remains, like a three-dimensional portrait of another location.

Flax, hemp and seaweed are other fibres O’Connor has used for paper and sculpture over the years. For “Objects of Memory,” she layered household items like a frying pan with a pulp of pounded cotton fibre. As with “Singing Stones,” she removed the cast shape when it dried. These sculptures are matte black, resting on a shelf like shadows of working objects stilled at day’s end.

Restfulness plays a role in “Release,” too. O’Connor collaborated with photographer Martin Berkman to make a video of willow catkins bursting out of a sculpted paper form. Projected against two “screens” of handmade

earlier iconographies as one stream of influences for the watercolours, inkjet prints and sculptures in The Rose Parade. When Scanlon lived in Glasgow, Scotland, earning her Masters of Fine Arts, she was invited to interpret some works in the Burrell Collection, which has many tapestries. Scanlon adopts the flat perspective of tapestries and wallpapers – narrative scenes where distant and nearby objects are the same size – to give her images a dreamlike feel.

Most of Scanlon’s scenes are set outdoors. Flowers, animals, chairs and other entities hover against darkness as if against a night sky or, again, a dreamworld version of unpopulated space.

Familiar moments from Yukon life appear and morph in Scanlon’s watercolours. She paints smoke wafting from a small log cabin or multiple racks of antlers, then mixes in owls pondering blossoms, bears floating down from their constellation cousins in the stars, or stacks of cars towering to humorous heights.

Scanlon handles watercolour masterfully. She turns to inkjet prints to make backdrops with intense, uniform blacks that give sharper contrast between colours. A crisp, snowpacked mountain peak against rich black in “Stanchion,” for example, becomes a mysterious backdrop for the alluring, deliberately artificial blue, butteryellow and wine-red roses.

run by a “nefarious fellow” who may have had something to do with the disappearances.

“Laurie tends to explore more darker, layered worlds and that was really appealing to us,” Catto says of the series, which is slated to shoot in British Columbia this spring and summer.

“It marks a shift in direction for us, going in that more darker and a very bold, serialized route. You’ll see more of that in the years to come.”

Strange Empire, along with the provocatively titled comedy Schitt’s Creek, are so far the only two new scripted series announced for the upcoming fall and winter seasons.

Two factual programs were also greenlit – the game show Canada’s Smartest Person and the roving series Of All Places, hosted by Jonny Harris of Murdoch Mysteries.

But they follow a slew of recent cancellations including the northern drama Arctic Air, the mental-health crime series Cracked, the cooking shows Best Recipes Ever and In the Kitchen with Stefano Faita and as well as George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight and The Ron James Show.

Catto says company-wide funding woes are taking their toll.

Even though several CBC hits are returning – among them Murdoch Mysteries, Dragons’ Den, Republic of Doyle, and Heartland – there may be fewer fresh episodes on offer, she admits.

“Budgets are tight across the board. It’s no secret we’ve had significant financial cuts and that will have an impact on us for sure,” she says, noting that ordering fewer episodes is one way “to make sure that we stay on our bud-

get.”

“But we’re doing everything we can to preserve our content, to put our content first.”

She adds that not all series will be trimmed, noting that Murdoch Mysteries and Heartland are expected to return with 18 episodes each.

There will be 13 episodes of the new sitcom Schitt’s Creek, created by comedy veteran Eugene Levy and his son, Dan Levy. Levy’s former SCTV partner Catherine O’Hara co-stars with U.S. comic Chris Elliott (How I Met Your Mother, Late Show with David Letterman).

It’s about a very wealthy family who find themselves bankrupt and move to a small town in the middle of nowhere called Schitt’s Creek.

Catto admits the crude reference in the title could dissuade some viewers from tuning in, but says that’s a chance they are willing to take.

“There were conversations about it, for sure, but we really support the show, we support the creators’ vision and again it should be a real indication that we are prepared to take risks. We are signalling that this is a place that’s going to do bold and irreverent and innovative programming,” says Catto, noting that the mayor of the town – played by Elliott – is named Roland Schitt.

“It’s not a name that’s going to go away in this series so we’ve just embraced it.”

The show will shoot in and around Toronto.

The re-jigged lineup follows CBC’s loss of lucrative NHL broadcast rights to Rogers, announced last November. A sub-licensing deal will allow Hockey Night in Canada to continue airing on CBC, but under Rogers control beginning this fall.

Hockey revenue has traditionally subsidized CBC’s scripted programs and provided a high-profile platform to promote homegrown fare.

Catto wouldn’t disclose budget details but said funds were dispersed strategically for the upcoming fall and winter season.

“We had to make some difficult decisions and as you know not all of our shows return. But we did preserve a number of our, I think, very strong hits for the CBC that are, again, very distinctly Canadian.”

Other shows coming back include Mr. D, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, The Rick Mercer Report, Steven and Chris, Marketplace, and The Nature of Things.

Bell boosts SmartStop team in California

W

atson Lake cyclist Zach Bell took one for the team last week.

The 32-year-old was riding in a support role for his SmartStop Pro Cycling Team at the 30th annual Redlands Bicycle Classic, which finished Sunday in Redlands, California.

He helped SmartStop take third out of 25 in the team event.

“We were leading the race until yesterday, and then in the last stage, in the last 20 kilometres, we lost it to another pair of young guys,” said Bell. “Two guys got away and as a team we couldn’t control them.

“Going into it we wanted to have a good showing, get a

stage win and have a decent GC (general classification).

In the end we were in a pretty big cat-fight to win the thing.

We were the strongest team but the way tactics played out, it didn’t roll completely in our favour.”

SmartStop dropped from first to third in the team event in the final stage. So did Bell’s teammate Travis McCabe, who placed third in GC after five stages.

McCabe wore the yellow leader jersey for much of the week. Bell helped keep it on McCabe’s back in Stage 4’s 90-minute criterium. Bell rode as sweeper for McCabe in the race and took 26th place out of 159 riders, helping McCabe snatch seventh.

“We were working to preserve Travis’ lead there, that’s where most of my work went

in this week,” said Bell. “I was kind of there to be general on the road and make sure guys were doing what they needed to be doing and also to lend some strong legs to the guys we had up there in the GC.” Bell’s best finish of the week was 14th in Stage 2’s short 7.8-mile time trial.

Even there he was working for the team’s overall good, giving advice to teammates McCabe and Rob Britton, who placed seventh and fifth, respectively.

“The strategy for the team going in was to have as many guys as we could up there in the overall standing,” said Bell. “So I had to do a good time trial just so I stayed close. It was OK; I wasn’t super happy with it, but I wasn’t unhappy with it.

“I was one of the earlier

guys out on course, so it was my job to feel it out and report back to the guys going late … give them some tips on how to go faster.”

This season is Bell’s first on SmartStop, which is based out of North Carolina. He rode for Hong Kong’s Champion System Pro Cycling Team last season and Spidertech Powered by C10 the previous two.

Though he was in a support role in Redlands, he isn’t always playing backup to the SmartStop team.

In the first event of the season, Bell took second place in Stage 7 of the 35th annual Vuelta Independencia Nacional in the Dominican Republic at the end of February. SmartStop collected a total of four podium finishes in the Dominican, including

Bell’s silver.

Bell, who resides in North Vancouver, had arguably his best season to date last year.

The two-time Olympian became a national champion on the road with a first-place finish in the 2013 Canadian Road Championships in StGeorges, Que. Bell also took fourth place in the time trial and eighth in the criterium at the national championship.

Just two months after winning the national title in road racing, Bell returned to the velodrome to win gold in the omnium at the 2013 Canadian Track Championships in Dieppe, N.B. He also won stages at the Tour of Korea and the Tour of Taiwan with the Champion System team.

Booster Juice shuts out Mustangs in peewee closer Tom Patrick News Reporter

T

he Booster Juice Blenders forgot the wheatgrass and pomegranate, and served the Atom Jr. Mustangs an old-fashioned glass of payback at the Whitehorse Minor Hockey Association’s Closing Tournament on Sunday at the Canada Games Centre.

The Blenders went undefeated in the tournament and shut out the Whitehorse rep team 4-0 in the peewee division final.

“It was an excellent game,” said Blenders head coach Derrick Hynes. “We’ve had a tough go with that team all year long. They’ve certainly been our biggest competitor and they brought their ‘A’ games, like they always do.

“Our kids came to play, from the first line to the third line, and they worked hard every shift, as I asked them to, and they came out champions as a result.”

The Atom Mustangs won three tournaments this season, including the Yukon Peewee Hockey Championships in Watson Lake, defeating

Booster Juice 4-3 in the final.

“We’ve been fortunate enough this year to have good end results … but things aren’t always going to go your way,” said Mustangs head coach Patrice Brunet. “I think the kids demonstrated a lot of character throughout the year when faced with adversity.

“The pucks didn’t go our way today, but we created a lot of chances.”

Blenders defenceman Ewan Halliday scored his team’s first two goals in the first period. After a scoreless second, centre Cole McCulloch and defenceman Jarod McCulloch found the back of the net in the third. Blenders’ Adam Hynes and Logan Kruse each had two assists in the final.

The Mustangs definitely had their opportunities. When Joey Schultz was tripped into the boards, coming out with a bloody nose, the Mustangs went on a five-minute power play in the third. Just seconds after the major penalty ended, the Mustangs went on a two-minute power play with a roughing call against the Blenders.

But the Mustangs couldn’t

Sequoia goes undefeated for atom gold Tom Patrick

Sequoia’s Hugo Burgess had four goals – including his team’s first three – and an assist in the final. Teammates Kaelen Lewis and Aaron Bolduc each had two goals.

“There’s a breadth of scoring,” said Daniels. “We don’t have one super star.”

Nevaeah Webb scored twice for Scotiabank in the final and Zab Blower and Seth Sheardown-Waugh contributed individual goals.

equoia Kitchens hadn’t been in a hole so deep all tournament and there they were down three goals in the atom final. But there was plenty of hockey still to be played.

Sequoia fought back to beat Scotiabank 8-4 in the atom final of the Whitehorse Minor Hockey Association’s Closing Tournament at the Canada Games Centre on Sunday.

“We had a bit of a slow start. The other team came out really hard,” said Sequoia head coach Mark Daniels.

“Depth of character. We regrouped them, we talked about the fundamentals. They are a well trained team and they play well as a team. They relied upon each other.”

The kitchen crew were the heavy favourites going into the final. In addition to going undefeated in the tournament’s round-robin, Sequoia won the Yukon Atom Hockey Championships in Haines Junction earlier this year.

“Right from the start they were a bunch of good players,” added Daniels of his team.

“Maybe not greatly skilled, but they were coachable.

When they didn’t do it for themselves, they did it for the team. They have a real strong team ethic and that’s what made the difference.”

“They had to come the long way around, we had an easy path because we won … We only had to play three games.”

The Nachos won the championships in 2012 and the season opening Bob Park Ice Breaker Broomball Tournament in November.

“We came through the B side and had a few more games this week and a short bench,” said Nachos captain Chris Saunders.

“But the team did well. We played smart, tried to keep the games slow, unfortunately it didn’t work out in the final.

“Our game plan was to slow it down as much as possible, keep the goals down, pop a couple in. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that well.”

with a 2-1 overtime win over the Roadhouse. Justin Saunders put in the game-winner just seconds into the overtime period.

Both Saunders are among 13 players who will represent Yukon on the Coates Lead Dawgs at the national broomball championships in the mixed division this week in Calgary.

“I think we should do all right, we have a pretty young forward line – 20-somethings – and our defence is the experienced side of the team,” said Chris Saunders, who is captain of the Yukon team.

Saturday marked the end of the Yukon Broomball Association’s 30th season. Its Whitehorse-based league expanded from seven to nine teams, with about 40 new players, this year.

In addition to sending a team to the nationals this week, the association will send a mixed team to the 2014 World Broomball Championships this November in Japan.

“It was an incredible season,” said association president Milford Allain.

“I’m thinking about a youth league next year with certain age groups. We did it for one month this year, so we’re hoping to expand on it next year, and hopefully in a couple years get it to the national level.

We eventually want to host the nationals here, so it would be nice to have the youth a part of that.”

Kakuro

By The Mepham Group

Sudoku Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku.

This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every digit 1 to 9. For strategies on how to solve Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.

WEDNESDAY CROSSWORD PUZZLE

To solve Kakuro, you must enter a number between 1 and 9 in the empty squares. The clues are the numbers in the white circles that give the sum of the solution numbers: above the line are across clues and below the line are down clues and below the line are down clues.

Thus, a clue of 3 will produce a solution of 2 and 1 and a 5 will produce 4 and 1, or 2 and 3, but of course, which squares they go in will depend on the solution of a clue in the other direction.

No difit can be repeated in a solution, so a 4 can only produce 1 and 3, never 2 and 2. © 2013 The Mepham Group. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency. All rights reserved.
