National Day of Honour May 9, 2014 The Governor General of Canada has declared a National Day of Honour for May 9, 2014, marking the end of Canada’s efforts in Afghanistan and paying tribute to the members and families of Canadian Armed Forces members. The day will also recognise the contributions of Canadian law enforcement and civil society.

ment could consider shutting down the First Nation fishery altogether.

Such a closure has never happened.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada is currently consulting with First Nations and the Yukon Salmon Sub-Committee, said Gotch. The committee will bring recommendations to the department in late May or early June, he said.

In the legislature Tuesday, the Opposition NDP called on the Yukon government to do more to protect the chinook run.

“When will this government realize that it cannot stand idly by while other governments and branches oversee the unprecedented decline of the Yukon River chinook salmon stocks?” asked MLA Jim Tredger.

Environment Minister Currie Dixon noted that the premier has met with various groups about the issue and thanked Alaska for its leadership.

“We are pleased to see action being taken by Alaska. We are cautiously optimistic that this action will be fulfilled and that it will be enforced, regulated and inspected as appropriate.”

Caribou Legs faces off with premier Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

C

aribou Legs had harsh words for Premier Darrell Pasloski after meeting him on Monday.

Brad Firth, a.k.a Caribou Legs, is a Gwich’in ultra runner who recently ran from his hometown of Inuvik, N.W.T., to Whitehorse to protest the Yukon government’s decision to open most of the Peel watershed up to new mineral staking.

Firth met with Pasloski and with Environment Minister Currie Dixon on Monday afternoon.

On Tuesday Firth wrote on his Facebook wall that the politicians’ explanation for the new Peel watershed land use plan was “confusing, embarrassing, and misleading.”

“Where do they get their facts from? Who writes their lies?” Firth wrote.

“Talk about (the) Yukon Party trying to intimidate Gwich’in people at every opportunity!”

In an interview Tuesday, Pasloski said the meeting with Firth was very cordial.

“I appreciated the fact that he brought a couple youth from Northwest Territories as well. I think that that was very important.”

Danny and Joseph Kaye, brothers from Inuvik, came to the meeting with Firth. They also ran with him on the first and last legs of Firth’s run.

“What we’re talking about is opportunities for our youth,

Brad Firth, better known as Caribou Legs, stands with supporters of protecting the Peel watershed in front of the Yukon government main administration building on Monday.

in terms of careers and jobs in the territory,” said Pasloski.

“Not to imply that everybody will work in mining, but as a primary industry in the territory it helps us create economic diversity.”

Pasloski said he took the meeting as an opportunity to explain some of the details of the Peel plan to Firth, since Firth said he had not looked at it.

“What I did tell him is that there will be no mass of mining and development over

large tracts of land in the Peel.

That is just not true at all.”

Pasloski also told him that the Yukon is doing much more to protect the Peel that what is being done in the same watershed just across the border with N.W.T., he said.

On that side of the border there is a push to extract oil and gas resources, Pasloski said.

“We are certainly providing significantly larger protection, and there’s a very big contrast between what is occurring in

Yukon versus Northwest Territories in that area.”

On Monday, before the meeting with the premier, about 150 people rallied in front of the Yukon Legislative Assembly in support of Firth’s run.

“We don’t want this mining to go ahead in the watershed, and we want the water to stay with us for our grandchildren, and our grandchildren’s grandchildren,” Firth told the crowd.

Firth read from letters he

had brought with him from Gwich’in people who live in the Peel watershed.

“Remember, mister, there is karma,” ended one letter.

“Yeah, those karmic debts, ‘eh?” said Firth “You gotta watch out for them. Did you hear that Darrell? Karmic debts.”

Many elders, chiefs and former chiefs from both Yukon and N.W.T. spoke at the rally in favour of protecting the Peel.

The First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun came with a busload of elders for the event.

Nacho Nyak Dun is currently suing the government over its handling of the Peel plan. The hearing is scheduled for July.

“Right now we’re in a very strong position, we believe, from a legal perspective, and we believe we will win,” said Nacho Nyak Dun Chief Ed Champion at the rally.

Yukon filmmaker and musician Dennis Allen, who is from Inuvik, also spoke at the rally.

“They gave them 20 per cent and I’m sure there were lots of minerals there for them to work for years and years. …

But no, they wanted more and more and more,” said Allen.

“And for what? Buy a bigger Skidoo, buy a bigger truck, buy $150 jeans? Me, I go to Sally Ann. Five bucks. And then when I’m done with them I bring them back there.”

way or the other? I would not believe that,” she said.

Prior to the previous Vanier school council election, the bishop named certain candidates in the church newsletter, highlighting their status as parishioners and suggesting they would appreciate the votes of their fellows.

Four of the five candidates the bishop named won their seats, but many called the apparent endorsement problematic.

This time around, van der Eide said the church has been more careful, but the intention remains the same.

“It all looks very politically correct, but I think if you read between the lines it’s all there,” she said.

According to Leah White, another outspoken critic of the bishop who ran in the election herself, the church told its parishioners who to vote for.

“They didn’t put it in a newsletter this time,” White said. “This time they’re being

more cloak-and-dagger about it.”

White said a number of people called the church prior to the election and, without identifying themselves, asked the church for guidance. Two numbers were included on the church’s letter, and those people – Dawn Kobewka and John Robbins – both read from a list of five candidates.

The News also placed anonymous calls to the church and asked who to vote for. A woman who answered at Maryhouse in Whitehorse gave three names: Diane Tait, Edith Elder, and Shannon Cooper before pausing.

“Hold on, let me get the list,” she said, before continuing to name Kam Cos and Michael Lauer.

On a separate call, John Robbins gave the same list of names.

In an interview with the News on Monday, Robbins said the church’s letter was not meant to influence voters, but only to encourage them to

get out and vote.

“What we’re trying to encourage is that … parishioners make up their own minds. We want them to participate in the election,” Robbins said.

Last year saw some deep divisions among the councillors at Vanier in the wake of a controversy over the school’s sexual orientation policy, which called homosexuality an intrinsic moral evil and forbade students from forming gay-straight alliances.

In the wake of a public outcry, the Education Department ordered the offending policy removed, and a department-wide policy implemented. The school now has a gay-straight alliance.

Deputy minister Valerie Royle promised the role of the bishop in setting policy would be defined by the start of the 2014/15 school year. That hasn’t happened, the department says, because of delays on the bishop’s part.

ment until the government makes an announcement about what it intends to do.

Silver said in an interview Tuesday that the government is creating uncertainty for prospectors going into this exploration season.

“This is the government that keeps promising certainty, yet here is another example of just the opposite.

“They’ve been playing politics with this situation as opposed to uniting governments and industry on this very important issue.”

Samson Hartland, executive director of the Yukon Chamber of Mines, said it’s a good sign that the government is meeting with First Nations.

“That speaks volumes if those sorts of discussions are taking place. That’s fantastic, because the alternative is potentially the courtroom, and I think that creates more uncertainty for the industry and for the marketplace. And I think that’s certainly what everyone would like to avoid.”

Dawson Fire Chief Jim Regimbal said firefighters were called out to a fire on 7th Avenue around 6:30 a.m.

When they arrived about six minutes later, the back corner of the home was fully engulfed and the flames were licking the siding of the neighbour’s home.

Regimbal said the homeowner had gone to work for the day, leaving her son, in his 20s, asleep.

A passerby heard the smoke alarm ringing and saw someone moving around inside, Regimbal said.

The man inside had been “asleep and likely a little bit affected by the smoke,” the fire chief said. By breaking the window the Good Samaritan was able to help the man to safety.

PRINTED RALLY TOWELS 207 Main Street Tel: 633-4842

There’s no question that the story could have ended differently, Regimbal said.

“It could have definitely been a lot worse,” the chief said. “If it were not for the Good Samaritan we would have definitely had a rescue or pulled a body out.”

Instead, the man only suffered from some minor cuts and smoke inhalation.

Neither the man’s name nor the name of his rescuer has been made public.

The home is a write-off, Regimbal said. He pegs the damage at about $300,000.

It took fire crews about six hours to put out all of the flames.

Volunteer fire crews from the Klondike Valley fire station came to help put things out.

The exact cause is still being investigated. But Regimbal said he’s confident it was an accident.

Olympian Clara Hughes comes North Ashley Joannou News Reporter

After flying from Dawson to Whitehorse, Hughes will be at a welcome event at the airport on May 12 at 4:10 p.m.

On May 14 there is a rally at Shipyards Park at 11:50 a.m. and a barbecue and concert at the Mount McIntyre recreation centre at 5:30 p.m.

It’s the community events, where people will get a chance to speak about mental illness, that are the most important, Hughes said. “The riding is just to get us from point A to point B.” In the North, the struggle with depression and other forms of mental illness can be exacerbated by location, she said.

“There’s so many struggles, and very big realities especially in the winter with the lack of sunlight, but also the isolation in the communities,” she said. “I know many of the communities are struggling and suffering and losing a lot of young lives to suicide. “ Hearing northern stories firsthand is important, she said.

“There are people who are having great impact and I’ve seen it in many of the small communities and been totally inspired by what people are doing locally.”

Sharing stories and experiences is an important step in reducing the stigma that can come with mental illness.

“Nobody is immune to mental illness. If it doesn’t affect you directly, it affects you through a friend or a family member, somebody very close to you,” she said.

“It connects us all… Once we can accept it and share it with each other I think it can lift everybody up and make us so much stronger.”

Six-time Olympic medalist Clara lympian Clara Hughes won’t Hughes arrives in Whitehorse next be doing much riding in week as part of her cross-Canada Whitehorse during her crosstour to raise awareness about Canada bike tour. mental health issues.

But she hopes Yukoners will forgive her.

After all, she’ll have just finished riding the Dempster Highway from Inuvik to Dawson City.

“I don’t think we’re doing a ride (in Whitehorse). I don’t know if we’re going to be able to walk at that point,” she said last week on the phone from Iqaluit.

A six-time Olympic medalist in cycling and speed skating, Hughes is the only athlete to win multiple medals in both the summer and winter games.

But now she is putting her athletic prowess to use for something other than gathering Olympic hardware.

Hughes is in the middle of travelling across the country on a 110-day national bicycle tour. Eventually she’ll go through every province and territory. The trek began in Toronto on March 14 and is scheduled to wrap up on Canada Day in Ottawa.

She will be in the Yukon from May 11 to 15.

The goal of the trip, dubbed Clara’s Big Ride, is to get Canadians talking about mental illness and the stigma that can come with it, she said.

Hughes herself has been very public about her own battle with depression.

“A lot of people saw me racing in the Olympics so many times over and winning Olympic medals.

23-year-old Whitehorse dirt biker has died following a crash this weekend.

Police were called to the scene around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, just off of Robert Service Way. Investigators say it’s an area known for off-road dirt biking.

When paramedics arrived, the man was conscious and talking.

Police say he was wearing protective gear including a helmet and chest protector while riding.

He was transported to Whitehorse General Hospital and later airlifted to Vancouver where he died.

The B.C. Coroner has not released his name.

Whitehorse RCMP say neither alcohol nor foul play were factors in the crash.

The cause is still being investigated.

constituency meeting that took place last Wednesday, said Julie Frisch, a member of the group.

The petition urges the Yukon to ban hydraulic fracturing in the territory and also to halt plans to build a liquefied natural gas plant in Whitehorse.

“Many people here in the Yukon don’t get the connection between fractured gas and liquefied natural gas,” said Frisch in an interview Monday morning. “And this is all happening so fast, with no need for it to be happening so fast.”

In total, the petition has earned close to 1,700 signatures so far, said Frisch.

At Wednesday’s meeting, members of the group gave Pasloski a copy of the petition and told him how many of his constituents had signed, she said.

The group plans to continue to collect signatures over the summer and present the petition to the Yukon Legislative Assembly in the fall, said Frisch.

Meanwhile, Yukon Energy continues to push plans to replace two aging diesel generators in Whitehorse with ones that burn natural gas.

That $34.5 million project is currently being reviewed by the Yukon Utilities Board and the

Yukon Environmental and Socioeconomic Assessment Board.

There’s no need to rush a solution to Yukon’s need for back-up power, said Frisch.

Using LNG will not only support hydraulic fracturing elsewhere in the country, but will also pave the way for the industry to enter the Yukon, she said.

In the last decade improvements in drilling technology have led to a boom in the use of fracking to exploit shale gas reserves.

By pumping pressurized water, sand and chemicals into shale formations deep underground, gas companies can break apart the rock and release the gas trapped inside.

Just last week the Council of Canadian Academies released a report, commissioned by Environment Canada, that found we don’t know enough about the environmental impacts of the practice to regulate it properly.

Hydraulic fracturing has never been done in the Yukon, but EFLO Energy Inc., the company with a controlling interest in the Kotaneelee gas project in southeast Yukon, says it would like to develop shale resources there in the next five or 10 years.

48 Unit Building The Yukon government, through the Highways and Public Works Department, is planning to issue an RFP for the design and build (including land) for a new 48 unit seniors apartment building in Whitehorse. The building will be constructed on behalf of Yukon Housing.

This project will require the successful proponent to provide: properly zoned, fee simple, titled land; design services; and construction services.

As part of the evaluation, preference will be given to land located in specific areas of the downtown core of the city of Whitehorse, though other locations are also eligible.

For information, please contact Philip Christensen, Senior Building Program Manager at 867-667-3543.

“In 2004 there was a national aspiration that Canada would move to one information system… Like most other jurisdictions, Nova Scotia started work to look at Panorama and what we found was that there was a few problems with Panorama,” said Dr. Frank Atherton, deputy chief public health officer for Nova Scotia.

It was too early in its development and the program was seen as a complicated system with “too many bells and whistles,” he said.

“The third thing was that it was very expensive, particularly for smaller provinces,” he said.

At that time the cost for Nova Scotia was pegged at around $11 million.

When plans were halted in 2009 $1.3 million had been spent on the Nova Scotia program. The federal government invested about $1.16 million and the province paid the rest.

Years later Nova Scotia is back to deciding what to do to update its information system.

Atherton said Panorama is still in the running. “Our understanding is that it’s now more developed than it was, and it’s certainly one of the options that we would consider.”

In Yukon there is $596,000 in this year’s territorial budget for the project. Over six years the government has already spent about $975,000 preparing for the switch.

According to the Department of Health and Social services, “the majority of these costs were for internal staff.”

The territory paid $85,000 to British Columbia to take part.

Moving personal data between two jurisdictions did raise some issues.

Yukoners’ personal information stored in B.C. servers and used for Panorama is subject to B.C.’s privacy laws.

In order to participate, the Yukon government had to update its privacy laws. The new Health Information Privacy and Management Act, which was first tabled late last year, allows for information to be shared with authorized people outside the territory such as the B.C. government, said department spokesperson Pat Living.

Stannard said the private information kept on Panorama would be limited to basic details like your

name, address and health card number, alongside information specifically related to the diseases the territory is concerned about.

“Those are the diseases that we’re worried about. We’re worried if you have measles, we’re worried about if you’ve got mumps and you’re walking around in the general public. That’s the information that would be collected,” she said.

EDITORIAL Some final thoughts on whistleblower protection laws

C

omputer gremlins caused last Friday’s editorial on whistleblowing legislation to be cut short in our print edition.

Rather than subject our readers to the entire piece again, we offer here the complete conclusion. You can find the entire editorial online on our website.

Writing a good whistleblowing law won’t be easy. Similar laws in other Canadian jurisdictions – which our legislation is being modelled on – don’t seem to be working.

The Federal Accountability Initiative for Reform, or FAIR, is a group that’s been studying the problem. It’s found that the six Canadian provinces with whistleblower legislation have received 170 formal disclosures of wrongdoing, but the offices responsible for investigating complaints haven’t concluded that wrong-

doing occurred in a single case.

What’s more, FAIR has never heard of a case in which an employer has been penalized for firing or otherwise punishing an employee who spoke out.

As FAIR’s executive director, David Hutton, recently told the News, “it just becomes a black hole where whistleblowers go and their allegations die, and they die with them.”

It’s a bit troubling that our MLAs didn’t express similar objections when they created a select committee to study whistleblowing legislation. If our government wants to produce a law that doesn’t replicate the same flaws found in the provinces, it would make sense to tap Hutton’s group for advice.

Maybe Yukon could also learn from the Australian experience.

Some jurisdictions in that country offer wider protections to em-

Re: Graham Lang’s April 23 column, “In defence of first-pastthe-post.”

So let me be sure I’ve got this straight, Graham. You fully understand the grand flaw of the “false majority” inherent within the first-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system. You clearly see that the legislature created by this system is not “reflective of the popular vote.” And, even by your own analysis, you deduce that the proportional representative (PR) systems do more closely reflect the true outcome of the vote. And you choose the FPTP system and see its flaw as a “strength.”

Wow! Shocking, but frank, nonetheless, Graham. However, the antithesis of fair play should never be seen as a “strength.”

His was much worse than mine. He had a shrivelled, shorter leg which made him limp quite noticeably and painfully.

He was often absent from school, needing medical attention on a regular basis.

Despite this very nasty disease, we both completed primary and secondary schools and successfully went on to university. We both married and had kids.

We were the lucky ones. Many Mary Robertson kids didn’t make it. They died Whitehorse, Yukon and many suffered a lot before dying.

Such a system would result in elected individuals who directly represent specific areas of the city and who would, hopefully, be taking strides to look into area specific problems, such as the ongoing Granger property tax mystery.

Tying individual elected representatives to a specific constituency gives them not only the incentive to deal with area problems, but identifies clearly the area for which the elected officials are responsible, clearly demarking the elected individual’s scope of duties.

Further, a ward system would encourage potential councillors to go door-to-door during city elections. Under the current system there is very little incentive for municipal candidates to go door-to-door at election time due to the sheer number of doors one would have to knock to make a numerical difference in the outcome.

Under the current system a councillor needed 1,534 votes in the last election to win the sixth seat. The time it would take to hit enough doors to get 1,534 votes would either take one person far more time than the 30 days allotted for the election or a massive organization, either of which is hard to justify when running for a

part-time councillor position.

To put this in perspective, in order to get elected as a territorial MLA for Riverdale North in the last election the winner needed only 366 votes of 986 cast. Using that same ratio and assuming an individual must knock on roughly at least three times as many homes as votes received, a potential city councillor would have to knock on roughly 4,600 doors during the election to garner 1,530 votes. In a 30-day election cycle that amounts to 150 houses a day, a very difficult feat for an individual hoping to win a part-time councillor position.

Finally, a ward system would identify the individual whom a citizen contacts when faced with an issue within a given neighbourhood. Currently a citizen would simply spin a wheel and pick a councillor at random and hope he or she addresses his or her problem.

It would make more sense and be much more efficient to have one elected person fielding calls for one area, rather than each councillor randomly addressing issues across the city. By clearly identifying the lines of communication there then exists an individual to hold responsible at election time when an issue is not dealt with to a constituency’s satis-

faction.

I would suggest breaking the town into six distinct areas, much along the same lines as territorial ridings. Riverdale, Porter Creek/Crestview/Arkell, Downtown/Marwell, Granger/ Copper Ridge, Takhini/McIntyre and the periphery (being the country residential on both sides of the city). Our city is already broken into fairly homogenous areas by virtue of our city planning, the boundaries are already fairly evident. The result will be a more responsive and accountable city council.

In closing, I just did a quick spot check on local real-estate listings. Heads up 10 Tiger Eye in Granger, you are paying $2,480 in property tax while 37 Alsek in Riverdale, which is selling around your asking price, is only paying $1,850.

This is a difference of $600 a year, for no discernible reason other than location.

I did not comb through properties looking for a situation that fits my theory – these are the first two properties I found. If I lived in Granger I’d be asking questions of my elected officials, with the first being, “Do any councillors even live in Granger?”

Key survey on job vacancies is vague, not terribly useful: auditor general Jennifer Ditchburn Canadian Press

OTTAWA, Ont. he country’s top survey on job vacancies is too vague and doesn’t provide much value to governments and other users, the auditor general said Tuesday.

Michael Ferguson’s latest report comes as the Conservative government faces scrutiny on the Temporary Foreign Workers Program, meant to address labour shortages in certain sectors.

Other surveys used by Ottawa to take stock of employment trends have also been criticized as inaccurate or incomplete.

Ferguson said Statistics Canada’s survey of employment, payrolls and hours doesn’t provide specifics on the precise location of job vacancies within a province.

“For example, reported job vacancies in Alberta could be in Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat, or any other community in the province,” says the report.

Industry classifications in the survey are broad, noted Ferguson, and don’t provide much indication of the particular jobs that need to be filled.

“Users informed us that as a result of these shortcomings, available information on job vacancies is of limited value to them.”

Federal and provincial ministers agreed on the need for more data on job vacancies in 2009 and the statistics agency added questions to the survey

to address that in 2011.

Other tools in the government’s statistics toolkit have also fallen short.

An employment insurance, monitoring and assessment report, conducted by Employment and Skills Development Canada, has been ridiculed for including data from online classified service Kijiji to establish labour needs.

That practice has since been dropped.

Another StatsCan survey commissioned by the department, which included input from 25,000 employers on their workplace demographics and skills requirements, never got past the data collection

phase because funding ran out.

Ferguson’s report recommends Statistics Canada determine whether it should keep certain surveys alive even after a department or organization stops providing funding. The statistical agency is grappling with a $29.3 million funding cut over the past two years.

The auditor general’s report also reviewed the National Household Survey, the voluntary questionnaire that the Conservative government used to replace the mandatory longform census in 2011.

Ferguson found that small towns and communities are missing out on key statistical data as a result of the change.

Statistics Canada withheld information on a quarter of Canadian communities, or three per cent of the population, because of the low quality of the data in the smaller areas. The biggest area had

almost 10,000 residents, the region around Lake Simcoe in Ontario.

The report said Statistics Canada needs to consider how it can better serve the needs of those who use information on smaller municipalities, including the towns themselves, nongovernmental organizations and private companies.

Statistics Canada responded by saying it is seeing how it could use alternative sources to beef up its information on those communities, including use of administrative data. The agency wasn’t specific, but that could refer to other information kept on the population by government bodies, such as tax returns and driver’s licence registrations.

The agency recently announced it would be sticking with the National Household Survey for the 2016 census.

The Conservatives eliminated the long-form despite widespread criticism, saying it did not agree with threatening Canadians with fines and jail time for not divulging their personal information.

lined with law enforcement officers of several agencies as Kangas faced his charges. Officers hugged and consoled each other at the hearing, the newspaper reported.

Kangas’ mother, Judy, and younger brother, Albert, each gave brief apologies.

“I want to tell everybody, the families, from the bottom of my heart that I am sorry,” Judy Kangas said as she choked back tears.

The slayings of Rich and Johnson on Thursday in the isolated community of Tanana underscored the challenges law enforcement faces in this huge state. Like many troopers assigned to patrol multiple villages, Rich and Johnson were not based in the interior community of 238 people. They worked out of the troopers’ four-person rural service unit in Fairbanks 130 miles to the east, and they had to reach Tanana by plane.

Rich and Johnson, who had recently appeared on a national cable TV show about the Alaska State Troopers, had travelled to Tanana to arrest Kangas’ 58-year-old father, Arvin, on charges of driving without a license and threatening the village’s unarmed public safety

officer, Mark Haglin.

Haglin had received reports that the elder Kangas was driving around the village, even though he doesn’t have a valid driver’s license. After Haglin approached Arvin Kangas at his home, the elder Kangas pointed to a rifle and suggested he would use it if Haglin did not leave, according to the charging document.

Haglin then contacted state troopers, who obtained an arrest warrant and accompanied him to Arvin Kangas’ home a day after the confrontation.

Arvin Kangas refused to co-operate with the troopers after being informed of his arrest warrant and tried to run inside his home, according to the charging document. The troopers pursued, and a scuffle ensued, according to the document.

That’s when Nathanial Kangas appeared with an assault rifle and shot them, according to the charging document. He then pointed the weapon at Haglin, but lowered it and Haglin was able to flee, the document says.

Haglin called for help, and with the aid of other community members, was able to detain Nathanial Kangas until more

troopers arrived, the charging document says.

Once Haglin had him, Kangas “spontaneously stated that he was sorry for doing ‘it’ and that he shot troopers because the troopers were wrestling with Arvin,” the documents say.

Arvin Kangas was also arrested and is being held in Fairbanks.

“These are serious crimes, killing two Alaska State Troopers, two of my Alaska State Troopers … I would support the recommendations of the district attorney and hope that you put the maximum amount of bail possible,” said trooper Col. James Cockrell during Saturday’s hearing.

Meanwhile on Saturday, processions were held for the bodies of Rich and Johnson, which were taken from Anchorage to Fairbanks following their release from the medical examiner’s office. The procession in Fairbanks accompanied the bodies from the airport to the funeral home.

Village public safety officers are unarmed, but a bill passed by lawmakers this year would allow for the arming of the officers, who serve as first responders in rural communities that can be located hours or days, depending on the weather, from the nearest state trooper.

Rich and Johnson were occasionally featured on the National Geographic Channel show Alaska State Troopers, which features multiple troopers patrolling the state’s wild terrain.

The troopers were not filming at the time of their deaths. Filming in the fifth season is currently being done with other troopers.

Tanana resident Ruby Cruger, who is related to the Kangas, said the shooting has deeply affected the entire community.

“They’re all shocked,” Cruger said of the town’s reaction.

The searchers returned to Chibok and appealed to the few soldiers there to accompany them into the forest. They refused, point blank, Buba said.

Parents in Chibok ask why they came within a couple of kilometres of their daughters, yet the military did not.

“What was strange was that none of the people we spoke to had seen a soldier man in the area, yet the military were saying they were in hot pursuit,” said Buba, a 42-year-old drawn home to Chibok by the tragedy from Maiduguri, the Borno state capital 130 kilometres to the northwest.

Wednesday, May 7, 2014 The military says it is diligently searching for the girls, with extensive aerial surveillance.

“Every information relayed to security agencies has so far been investigated, including the search of all places suspected as a possible hide-away of the kidnapped girls,” Information Minister Labaran Maku said Friday.

Many soldiers have told the AP they are demoralized, because Boko Haram is more heavily armed and better equipped, while they get little more than a meal a day.

Some of the kidnapped girls have been forced into “marriage” with their Boko Haram abductors, sold for a nominal bride price of $12, according to parents who talked with villagers. Others have been taken across borders to Cameroon

and Chad, they said. Their accounts could not be verified, but forced child marriage is common in northern Nigeria, where it is allowed under Islamic law but not the country’s Western-style constitution.

In the meantime, the parents are frantic. Through sobs and jagged gasps for air, the mother of a missing 15-year-old said she had lost confidence in the authorities.

“I am so very sad because the government of Nigeria did not take care of our children and does not now care about our children,” said the mother, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect her daughter. “All we have left is to pray to God to help them and help us.”

The mother of six wondered what would happen to her daughter’s lofty ambition to become a doctor. She said the girl

spent her time caring for the family, and would cook whatever her mother wanted to eat.

“She is my first-born, the best,” said the mother, who broke into a scream followed by wails of sorrow. “What am I to do as a mother?”

Spurred by growing national outrage, President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday set up a committee to work out a rescue strategy, and expressed confidence that the military will find the girls.

The only way to get the girls back is through negotiation, according to an Islamic scholar who has mediated the release of previous hostages. The scholar, who remained anonymous because his position receiving messages from Boko Haram is sensitive, said the militants are willing to free the girls for a ransom, but have not specified

how much.

The 16-year-old who escaped keeps thinking of her friends, and wondering why she was able to get away while they are still captive. She is at times afraid and at times angry.

“I am really lucky and I can thank God for that,” she said.

“But God must help all of them … Their parents are worrying.

Every day, everyone is crying.”

What it takes to be a wildland firefighter Eva Holland Special for the News

T

he standardized fitness test for Canada’s wildland firefighters is as much a game of strategy as it is a feat of raw strength and endurance. I learn that quickly, but not soon enough.

I start out blazing – or at least, I start in an awkward, shuffling halfrun, a nine-pound weight belt secured by velcro around my waist and 63 pounds of weights on a wooden board strapped awkwardly to my back. After a few laps of the course, my speed slows, and after a few more I stop entirely, lean against a folding table, and cough and choke down air and water while a small gathering of spectators – a paramedic, a couple of firefighters, another reporter – urges me on. I started too fast, and now my legs are rubbery and a burning vertical line spreads from my throat down through my ribcage.

There is a real-life logic to the test’s requirement to pace yourself. The test, dubbed WFX-FIT, is designed to simulate the conditions experienced by firefighters in the backcountry: If you run up the first mountain of the day, you can’t expect to still be on your feet for the last one. The Yukon’s Wildland Fire Management program adopted it in 2012 – it’s a relatively new national standard.

Throughout the week, the Yukon’s contingent of 84 wildland firefighters have been undergoing the annual test.

They have to complete it within 14 minutes and 30 seconds. (Although if they’ve been on the crew for several years, they also have the option of completing it in 17:45, under a grandfather clause that would let them continue to work in the Yukon, but would not permit them to go Outside to fight fires elsewhere if called upon.)

A day earlier, I’m told, one of the firefighters puked upon completion of the test. He passed.

With the testing of the real firefighters complete, members of the media have been invited to give it a

Fickling reads my mind. “It doesn’t get any worse,” he tells me. If I just keep plodding on, he promises, the pain will remain the same right through to the end.

It’s what I need to hear. I decide to believe him. “I hope you’re not lying to me, Keith,” I say, and then push myself off the table and lean into lap 11.

At 13, we cheer my halfway point.

I grit my teeth through to 15, 17. At 20, I realize that I really will finish this damn thing – I have enough gas left in the tank, I can feel it. I even manage to pick up speed over my final three laps: My slow, conservative plod has let me regain some energy.

After 25 laps, I dump the pack on the floor – victory! – and move to the test’s final stage. I grab a hose attached to a weighted sled – the drag is meant to simulate the force required to advance on a fire with a hose charged with water – sling it over my shoulder and haul the whole apparatus for two final lengths of the course. When I finish, I’m too tired to cheer. My final Alistair Maitland/Yukon News time? 19:43.

Newfoundland and Labrador, Wells said. Unlike seabirds, songbirds don’t nest in concentrated colonies and need large, undisturbed areas to keep their numbers up.

“They’ll occur in much lower densities over a much broader area,” he said. “So if you want to get an area that contains a significant portion of the breeding population, it has to be a very large area.”

Between one billion and three billion songbirds are estimated to migrate between the boreal and their winter ranges throughout North and South America, the report says.

Currently, about 70 per cent of the area is untouched and pristine. That gives Canada a unique chance to balance economic development and conservation before conflicts arise, suggested Smith.

“Instead of many other places in the world, where you’re managing for endan-

gered species, we have the unique ability to manage for abundance and to preserve some of the great values that the boreal forest provides, along with extracting those resources,” he said.

“It’s a balance of protection and sustainable development.

One of the main things we need to have is healthy northern communities.”

Smith said Ducks Unlimited and the Songbird Initiative are working with governments, industry and aboriginal groups on a series of large, interconnected areas with varying levels of protection to conserve bird habitat.

One proposed area spans the Thelon region of the Northwest Territories, Thaidene Nene National Park Reserve on the east arm of Great Slave Lake and Wood Buffalo National Park in northern Alberta.

The goal of protecting 50 per cent of the forest will be a

challenge, Wells admits. About 12 per cent of the boreal has currently received final approval for protection.

“It’s something that is going to take decades,” he said.

But it will be worth it.

“To have one place with these huge global linkages, sending out billions of birds that go all around the world and have huge impacts in every one of these nations – ecologically, economically – it’s a special feature of the boreal.”

Community rallies for child with cancer

A

LIFE

fundraising event for Marek Stehelin took place on Saturday at the Robert Service Campground.

The two-and-half year old was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia three weeks ago and is currently with his mother, Amanda, receiving chemotherapy at the BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

The treatment will last six months, after which time Marek will require 10 days of chemo per month for the next two and a half years.

Saturday’s event raised approximately $28,000 with 500 people in attendance. The funds will help the family replace the income lost

from Amanda being with Marek, as well as fly siblings and other family members to visit Marek in Vancouver. The Stehelins have three other children: Mason (eight), Brijona (six) and Maximus (four).

“The response we’ve had in Whitehorse is phenomenal,” said Marek’s father, Bernard Stehelin.

“When your kid gets cancer you don’t think the words ‘I feel lucky’ will come out of your mouth. But that’s the reality. He’s got the kind of cancer that’s got a 95 percent cure rate. Whitehorse is an amazing community, so many good people here. We’ve been humbled and touched by the support we’ve got.”

Pan teamed up with Abbie Rotundi and took the open doubles title with a straight-set win over Peter Toth and Jackie Chen in the final.

“John and Abbie have been playing together for quite some time, so they are definitely strong opponents and smart players,” said Toth. “For my partner and I, we fought to the end and enjoyed ourselves.”

While Pan notched two titles a junior player took three.

Whitehorse’s Mannie Sharma was the only player to win three divisions over the weekend. The 14-year-old claimed gold in U14 boys singles, U14 boys doubles and U16 mixed doubles.

Sharma secured his singles title with a straight-set win over runner-up Lukas Kobler.

“In the second set it got pretty close and he started winning, but then I decided I didn’t want to go to a third set,” said Sharma. “So I played my hardest after that.”

Sharma won the U16 mixed doubles with Czarina Lubi and the boys doubles with brother Ritik Sharma, who also won the

U14 boys singles title.

Both Sharma boys played for Yukon at the 2014 Arctic Winter Games this past March in Fairbanks, Alaska.

“It was really nice to play because a whole lot of players who didn’t come out last year played today,” said Mannie.

“I went to the Arctic Winter Games for badminton and that gave me a lot of experience and all the training for that really helped here.”

Judo championships keep getting bigger Tom Patrick News Reporter

J

udo Yukon is not grappling with low participation numbers. The organization has good turnouts pinned on the mat.

For the fourth year in a row Judo Yukon saw growth in participation at its annual Yukon Judo Championships.

A record 86 judokas, from a record eight clubs, took part in the championships at the Canada Games Centre on Saturday. That’s up from 67 judokas last year and 46 in 2012.

Also for the fourth year in a row the event was international with 16 Alaskans from Juneau and two clubs in Anchorage taking part.

“We love to come to Whitehorse, get some international competition,” said Juneau’s Capital City Judo Club instructor Jay Watts. “We see some new faces we don’t get to see at our local tournaments, state tournaments.

“The judo community here is wonderful, they are good at what they do. They are some great instructors, they put on a great tournament, it’s excellent.”

“We like coming over because it’s a nice, new competition for us,” said Anchorage’s Mountain View instructor Dave Cheverie.

“Our season is getting close to the end, but we still have our nationals to go, and we wanted to take our players over and get some new people to play with in preparation for our nationals in Hawaii. Most of them who are here are going to Hawaii.”

The championship is beginning to get a pan-northern feel with the addition of Nunavut Judo for the first time. Six judokas from Iqaluit attended the championship.

With Air North now offering flights from Yellowknife, N.W.T. is expected to attend next year’s championship. Air North’s flight from Ottawa is how Nunavut arrived.

“Air North put this awesome flight from Ottawa to Whitehorse, so now it wouldn’t take three days

Judokas fight for supremacy at the Yukon Judo Championship at the Canada Games Centre on Saturday. Judo Yukon held its largest championship to date with over 80 competitors from eight clubs.

for them to get here,” said Peter Melanson, who moved to Whitehorse last summer from Nunavut and was coach for the Nunavut athletes over the weekend. “As soon as I heard about the flight I’ve been trying to get the kids out here and have some Arctic championships going.”

Four Yukon clubs also competed. Shiroumakai Judo Club, which operates out of Vanier Catholic Secondary, won the most hardware with three awards, 19 medals, including six gold.

Shiroumakai’s Rastus Maxfield and Emiko Teramura were standouts.

Both won gold in their div-

ision and took in best technique awards.

Maxfield won gold in the U14 boys under-38 kilogram division.

The yellow belt defeated orange belt Kenneth Nevelle of Juneau for the win.

“I thought the guy I fought right now would throw again and get another ippon but I didn’t go down,” said Maxfield. “We kind of fell on top of each other and I got him in a hold down.”

Despite an elbow injury early on, Teramura snagged gold in the U14 girls under-48 kilogram division.

“I’m happy. This is my second time winning gold at this tourna-

ment,” said Teramura, holding an ice pack to her arm.

Athletes with Judo Yukon will reciprocate the Alaskans’ visit with a trip to the Alaska State Judo Championships later this month in Anchorage.

“The Yukon guys over here did a great job, it was very hospitable and it’s always a great tournament,” said Cheverie.

“It’s a great tournament and we’ll keep coming as long as we have a club,” said Watts.

Bell out with broken collarbone following fall in criterium

eam SmartStop will be without its captain Zach Bell for about a month.

The Watson Lake native is out of action with a broken collarbone sustained during a criterium race in New Mexico on Saturday.

“Hazards of the job,” said Bell.

“Collarbones aren’t too bad,

but I’m going to be missing out on a couples races. We’re not really sure yet. I have to see the doctors here and get it all assessed. But with collarbones you can usually get back to training pretty quick, a couple of weeks.”

Bell and the SmartStop team raced in the five-stage Tour of the Gila last week in New Mexico.

Bell’s accident took placed during the event’s fourth stage, the Downtown Silver City Criterium.

Bell had placed 35th in stage one, 23rd in stage two and 15th in stage three.

The 31-year-old was in the lead group of four riders with just two laps to go when he was taken out of the race.

“I was lining up with the other guys, getting ready to go for the sprint, and somebody from another team who basically had nothing to gain came underneath me in a corner and our bars

tangled up and he whipped me out,” said Bell. “It was a bit sad because he couldn’t have won the race anyway. I don’t know what he was doing taking so many risks, but basically I ended up paying the bill for it.”

It was a rough couple of weeks for Bell and SmartStop. Bell took two falls the previous week in the Joe Martin Stage Race in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Teammate Travis McCabe fell in the second stage of the Tour of the Gila and still managed to win the bronze despite a scraped up leg.

“It’s been a rough week for the team, but we still did well,” said

Bell. “But, yeah, we had a lot of crashes and a lot of damage.”

Team SmartStop placed third in the team general classification at the Tour of the Gila and team member Rob Britton placed third overall.

The team is also currently in third in two major rankings.

SmartStop is third in the U.S.A. Cycling’s National Racing Calendar with McCabe in first for 2014 men’s individual standings.

Bell is currently ranked 17th.

The team is also third in the Union Cycliste Internationale’s Americas Tour that includes North and South America.

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.

Hi! I’m Jax! I’m a little shy so when you come into the general cat room I most likely will be hiding under the blankets just ask the staff and they will find me so that you can meet me, I think a house where I’m the only animal would be good for me.
