the Carmacks Copper mine, the Eagle Gold mine, the Mayo B hydro project and the CarmacksStewart transmission line.

The two Yukon Electrical projects took less than 16 months total for the assessment, while the two mines both took more than two years.

However, when you exclude the time it took for the mining companies to respond to information request, those projects, too, were assessed within the newly-proposed 16 month timeframe.

In addition to the new timelines, the proposed amendments could give significantly more power to the Yukon government when it comes to assessments.

The tabled bill allows the federal minister to delegate to the territorial minister all of the federal powers under the act.

The amendments would also eliminate the requirement for a new assessment for renewed or amended permits, unless the changes are deemed to be significant by the decision body, which is typically the Yukon government except when the project is located on First Nation settlement land.

The new rules would also allow for the government to recoup the costs of assessments from project proponents.

a friend.

Despite a doctor’s order to take her vital signs four times daily, that information was documented on average less than once a day.

Scheunert’s vital signs were not taken in the last 48 hours of her life.

The level of opioids prescribed to Scheunert took another significant jump on June 20, to the equivalent of 438 mg of morphine. That evening her dose of fentanyl was doubled, from 75 micrograms per hour to 150.

Greenall testified that she has never seen a patient started on a dose of fentanyl higher than 50 micrograms per hour, and has never seen a fentanyl dose increased by more than 25 at one time.

Doctors Said Secerbegovic and Tanis Secerbegovic testified that Scheunert’s continued complaints of pain were an indication that she did not have too many painkillers in her system, and needed more.

But Greenall testified that it is very possible to overdose on opioids while still experiencing significant pain. Regardless of pain complaints, opioid doses must be increased gradually and their effects must be monitored closely, she said.

That night Scheunert recorded in a notebook that she had a “feeling of impending doom” and circled the words “completely out” several times.

She was up most of the night, and finally went to sleep some time before seven in the morning.

Nurses checked on her several

times that morning and found her to be asleep and snoring.

They let her sleep because she had had a bad night and needed rest, the nurses testified.

Scheunert was last checked on at 10:15 a.m. Just after 11, she was found unresponsive in her bed.

Efforts to resuscitate her failed, and she was declared dead at 11:34 a.m.

Multiple expert witnesses testified that this is a common story with drug overdoses: someone is observed snoring and apparently sleeping peacefully, and they are found dead soon after.

The toxic effects can come on quite suddenly, testified Greenall.

“Everyone is very surprised when suddenly they’re not fine.”

Dr. Carol Lee, the pathologist who conducted the autopsy on Scheunert’s body, testified that the additional dose of fentanyl may have been kicking in right around the time of her death.

There are factors besides the drugs in her system that may have contributed to Scheunert’s death, Lee testified.

For one, Scheunert had an enlarged heart and significant disease in her coronary arteries.

While no evidence of a major heart attack was found at autopsy, it is possible that Scheunert suffered from a sudden irregular heartbeat related to her heart condition.

The painkillers in her system could have contributed to such a sudden heart failure, and in any event would not have helped, Lee said.

Experts also suggested that

Scheunert could have suffered from undiagnosed sleep apnea, a condition related to pauses in breathing during sleep.

Both sleep apnea and opioid drugs have the effect of depressing respiration and lowering oxygen levels in the blood, and together would have put Scheunert at an increased risk of sudden heart failure and death.

Given the observations of medical staff in the hours and days leading up to Scheunert’s death, the fact that her increased dose of fentanyl would have been starting to peak that morning, and the additional sedative drugs found in her system at autopsy, Lee found that “in combination these drugs caused her death.”

Jurors have recommended that the Yukon Hospital Corporation implement a number of processes and policies related to staff training and patient management, especially with respect to opioid medications.

The Yukon Hospital Corporation has already begun to act on some of the recommendations.

Early this year the corporation implemented a new policy relating to high alert medications.

In an emailed statement Monday, the corporation said it is fully committed to reviewing all of the jury’s recommendations.

The jury also recommended that Yukon’s chief coroner work with the Institute for Safe Medication Practices Canada to share learnings from this case nationally.

sino Mining Corp., said the company does not believe the pause will delay the project.

“We’re still feeling comfortable that we would be in a position to start construction in 2016.”

Full production is scheduled to begin in 2019.

The company has yet to secure the $2.5 billion it needs to get the project off the ground.

“We’re not aggressively pursuing that at this point in time,” said West-Sells.

The company will start looking for financing partners when the project is further along in the assessment process, he said.

Community support “in the Yukon is key, I think, for bringing a mine of this magnitude forward,” said West-Sells. “We had a little hiccup there but I think we’re on the right track now.”

The proposed open-pit mine is located about 150 kilometres northwest of Carmacks.

It is by far the largest mine proposal that the Yukon has ever seen.

The plan is to process 120,000 tonnes per day over a 22-year mine life.

By comparison, Capstone Mining Corp.’s Minto mine currently processes under 4,000 tonnes per day.

The project would employ 1,000 people during construction and 600 people during operation, generating $274 million in economic activity for the Yukon annually, according to the company.

Whitehorse joins call for missing and murdered aboriginal women Sam Riches News Reporter

W

hitehorse city council didn’t waste time on Monday night, throwing unanimous support behind a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.

The resolution was put forward to city council by the Canadian Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination Advisory Committee.

In May, the RCMP released a report that showed a disproportionate number of female homicide victims in Canada are aboriginal. The report found that while only 4.3 per cent of the total female population is aboriginal, they account for 16 per cent of total female homicides.

The report came out three months after the Native Women’s Association of Canada delivered a petition of more than 23,000 signatures to Ottawa, calling for a national public inquiry into the cases of more than 600 missing and murdered aboriginal women.

“This is a national tragedy that can no longer be ignored,” association president Michele Audette said at the time.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said he’s skeptical that such an inquiry would shed any

The resolution, presented at city council, stated, “it has been clearly demonstrated that

aboriginal women in Canada are disproportionately represented in statistics of murdered and missing persons, and Whitehorse as a community has been directly affected by this tragedy.”

COMMENTARY

Watson Lake Hospital failed Teresa Scheunert Chandre Burchell, Crystal Thomas and Wanda Zimmerman

F

irst of all we would like to thank the coroner’s service and their council for their efforts during the inquest into the death of Teresa Scheunert.

They have made this inquest publicly accessible, and open. We were also grateful for the expert witnesses that came to testify.

What we were surprised by, however, was how adversarial the process became. We found that strange since an inquest is designed to not find guilt or blame.

We did find, however, that there are certainly numerous ways to improve public safety.

There was no clear care plan for Teresa’s main symptoms causing pain and discomfort, (problems with her abdomen, spine, numb and tingling legs, swelling, possible infection, anemia, edema, etc.). Patients in hospitals should have clear care plans.

We regret there seemed to be considerable focus by hospital and physician lawyers on making Teresa look bad rather than learning from the “system gaps” about improving care.

A physician testifies that Teresa had alcohol on her breath. This is hearsay, and the physician did not document it. If prescribing narcotics, the presence of alcohol should be documented. If alcohol was suspected, extra vitals and monitoring would have been warranted.

There was no alcohol detected in the autopsy.

We think Teresa’s death is an issue of public safety.

There was no clear treatment plan, lack of consistency with standards of care, poor charting, (some by exception, some things not noted at all, only recalled later) and doctors’ notes were al-

most non-existent. The few doctors’ orders for vitals and blood sugar levels for diabetes were supposed to be done four times a day, yet those orders were never done four times a day, and several days not done at all.

There was inadequate charting and monitoring of Teresa’s symptoms of back pain, abdominal distention and numbness and there was no plan at all for monitoring the side-effects of the several opioids she was prescribed and administered in hospital.

Hospital policies for fentanyl were not followed. They did not document where the patch was applied on the body, or if and how the location was changed.

The proper protocol for disposal of high potency narcotics was not followed, and disposal was not documented on the medical administration record or anywhere else in Teresa’s chart. This is an extremely unsafe practice by both physicians and nurses in Watson Lake’s hospital.

Watson Lake had access to a 24-hour on-call pharmacist, but the available pharmacist was not called, nor consulted, regarding the multiple sedating opioid medications prescribed and administered in hospital. Doses of narcotics, or any interactions or adverse effects they may have on one another, were not reviewed by a pharmacist. We discovered that physicians and nurses at the hospital did not seem to see the importance of pharmacist oversight in their facility. We feel that was an extremely important and dangerous oversight.

Policies in place that stated medication should not be left at a patient’s bedside were also not followed or enforced. Indeed, witnesses appeared to have no awareness of several policies they should have been following.

We also feel that there was Publisher

a conflict of interest having a fellow staff registered nurse as a patient in hospital at that time, and Teresa was too compromised to leave on her own.

There was no investigation of Teresa’s elevated heart rate, nor her bloodwork that had suggested she may have infection or inflammation.

We found it troublesome that instead of immediately ordering for Teresa the MRI and subsequent tests (ultrasound, a better CT scan) she required, the doctor first blamed WCB, and then testified she advised Teresa to seek her own treatment in the private sector and pay for her required tests out of her own pocket.

Regardless what the final outcome of this inquest may be, there are still many issues that need to be fixed.

All Yukoners are entitled to consistent, safe care that this inquest shows Teresa Scheunert did not receive in Watson Lake Hospital.

We hope that whatever the outcome is, that there will be recommendations not only made, but enforced for the safety of all.

Thank you very much, The family of Teresa Scheunert.

Let’s revisit the municipal voting age

by Graham Lang

SECOND THOUGHTS

O

ver the past few decades there has been a movement internationally to reduce the voting age, at least at the municipal level, to 16. Certain states in Europe, specifically Norway and Germany, have moved to a model wherein those citizens of at least 16 years of age can vote in municipal elections and civic referendums. Recently some cities in the United States have moved this way as well.

I would suggest that our local civic democracy can benefit from expanding our elector pool to include those citizens aged 16 and 17, and I encourage our municipal and territorial government to explore the matter.

The decision to bring younger voters into the fold rests mainly in the services provided at the city level, as much of a city’s

infrastructure is geared for youth.

Skate parks and basketball courts are examples of infrastructure predominantly used by a younger demographic. Buses and city transit are also of particular importance to that age group, as many do not yet own cars or have driver’s licences. The addition or removal of this infrastructure is a matter that is of interest to a younger demographic, while changes to mortgage rates and tax rates are issues that have yet to appear on their radar. The saying “municipal politics is close to home” perhaps applies most fully to youth, as municipal politics is perhaps the only politics of interest to that demographic.

Bringing youth into the electoral equation at the municipal level gives them a say in creating common spaces for their use.

Such input will result in a better idea of what youth need when it comes to the infrastructure we are going to build anyway.

Further, a reduction in the voting age will give youth earlier exposure to the democratic process and (hopefully) help instill the importance of participating in the democratic system through voting. The turnout in the last federal election for the 18-24

demographic was a fairly dismal 39 per cent, when compared with a turnout of 70 per cent for those 50 and over.

By starting participation in civic society in high school we provide a window into the relationship between voting and provision of public services.

As municipal politics and the projects that flow from same are more visible, students will (again hopefully) see the relationship between their votes and civic governance.

Plus we have most of the 16and 17-year-old citizens trapped in schools at that age, meaning that politicians will be forced to attend local high schools to give speeches and pitch platforms when looking for votes. After high school most of us don’t work with groups large enough to attract a visit from a politician. This will create a dialogue with students and, again, reveal a real connection between voters, politicians, and civic governance. Ideally we would see the rise of youth candidates to foster debate within the youth community and provide platforms and ideas that reflect the needs and priorities of that particular sector of civic society.

One could argue that youth

would be irresponsible electors in that they do not pay property taxes and would, therefore, make decisions without taking monetary constraints into account. I don’t find much weight in that argument, as we adults (and our adult politicians) frequently make decisions based on immediate needs rather than cost.

The current debt-to-GDP ratios of both Quebec and Ontario are an example of adults making decisions over a period of decades that accord more with immediate provision of services rather than an ability to pay.

In short, paying income or property taxes does not a responsible elector make. Such arguments tying taxation to voting are more reflective of electoral rules from the 19th century, wherein only land-owners could vote.

Expanding the electorate provides us with a wider viewpoint when making decisions, regardless of whether or not those individuals pay property tax.

Though I am in favour of lowering the voting age at the city and town level, I would suggest that we leave territorial and federal politics threshold at the age of 18, using the municipal level as a graduated stepping

stone to wider participation. We do not consider 16 year olds to be adults for consideration pursuant to the Criminal Code, therefore it wouldn’t make much sense to have 16 years to be in a position to vote in federal elections which could affect the Criminal Code.

Including 16- and 17-year-olds in the municipal political process will hopefully provide youth with a window into how politics can affect our day-to-day lives at an early stage in their lives and increase turnout going forward, while also providing a voice for youth in the direction of Yukon’s cities and townships.

The requirement to be 18 to vote in municipal elections is found in the territorial Municipal Act, and not in city or town bylaws, meaning any change must occur through amendment of territorial legislation by the Yukon government. I would encourage our local MLAs, in conjunction with the Yukon Association of Communities, to investigate the lowering of the voting age at the city and township levels and perhaps look at an amendment to the Municipal Act in the future.

followed by Manitoba ($772), New Brunswick ($787), British Columbia ($853), Ontario ($874) and Newfoundland ($925).

Broadbent Institute executive director Rick Smith has no explanation for the regional disparity other than that the program as unveiled was designed for a particular type of family – the so-called “Leave It to Beaver� traditional home with a principal breadwinner and a stay at home spouse who takes care of the children. “It turns out there are few families of that type, but there are more of them in Alberta than in Quebec,� he said.

To benefit the most, one spouse must make $100,000 more than the other and have a taxable income above $136,270, the highest marginal rate.

Of families with children under 18, the average tax saving is calculated at $841, although that includes the 54 per cent of those households that receive no benefit at all.

But for 147,000 Canadian families with a high-income breadwinner, the average benefit would be $7,128. “If the government set out to specifically design a policy to make

inequality worse, this would be it,�

Smith said. “This policy is an inequality generating machine.�

The lack of broad-based benefits is expected to be a major campaign issue should the Conservatives go ahead with income splitting in next year’s budget. It was one reason cited by the late finance minister Jim Flaherty when publicly expressing doubts about the program earlier this year, touching off a fire storm among Conservative MPs who remain committed to seeing it implemented.

Kenney was one of the ministers who publicly disagreed with Flaherty and said the government would keep its promise.

Although polls show income splitting is popular, Smith believes one reason is that most Canadians assume they will benefit, when in fact they likely won’t.

Without seeing the results of the study, which was given to The Canadian Press prior to the official release Tuesday morning, Andrea Mrozek of the Institute of Marriage and Family said income splitting can be implemented “the right way� so as to spread the benefits more

broadly. “We can implement this in a way that benefits a bigger group of families. For example, we have always looked at the French model, which allows a single parent to split with a child, so thereby benefiting from income splitting,� she said.

According to the Broadbent study, which was based on analysis

by Tristat Resources, that would benefit an additional 20 per cent of families.

Tax policy expert Jack Mintz of the University of Calgary believes unequal benefits are unavoidable, but can be at least partially mitigated by other means, including increasing the tax credit for child-care costs.

Still, Smith says there are far superior ways of delivering tax relief to hard-pressed families, such as enriching the Child Tax Benefit for lower-income families, a similar conclusion reached by the authors of the C.D. Howe study. “We wouldn’t be so concerned about this if it weren’t so darn expensive,� said Smith. “This would cost the federal treasury $3 billion a year, so we are talking about a wealth transfer from nine of 10 Canadians to the wealthiest amongst us.�

Canada just more ‘frank’ than rest of the world on climate change: Harper Terry Pedwell Canadian Press

OTTAWA tephen Harper solidified his government’s like-mindedness with Australia’s hard-right Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Monday as the two meshed their views on the environment, job creation and political manoeuvring.

There’s not a single country in the world that would take action on climate change at the expense of its own economy, Harper said as the two leaders held a joint news conference in Ottawa.

Canada wants to deal with climate change without crippling the economy, Harper said.

“No country is going to undertake actions on climate change, no matter what they say … that is going to deliberately destroy jobs and growth in their country,” he said.

“We are just a little more frank about that, but that is the approach that every country is seeking.”

For his part, Abbott made clear that while his government recognizes the issue, it does not consider tackling climate change a top priority.

“We think that climate change is a significant problem. It’s not the only or even the most important that the world faces, but it is a significant problem,” he said.

“It’s important that every country should take the action that it thinks is best to reduce emissions, because we should rest lightly on the planet.”

Still, Abbott told a business roundtable later in the day that, much like the Harper Conservatives have done, he will take further actions to reduce the “regulatory

“Our aim over time is to make it significantly less burdensome,” Abbott told the roundtable as he promoted Canadian investment in Australian businesses and his country’s increasingly privatized infrastructure.

Abbott has carried an ‘open for business under new management’ sign for Australia ever since being elected to power last September, and has also made no secret of his political bromance with the Harper Conservatives.

Paying homage to Harper’s

“We are such like-mind comparable countries, we are both multicultural, resource driven federations.”

As he prepared to head of to Washington for talks with U.S. President Barack Obama, Abbott said he was “encouraged” by regulations introduced in the United States last week to chop carbon emissions from U.S. power plants by 30 per cent by 2030.

Harper noted that Canada has actually done more to lower carbon emissions in its electricity sector than the U.S. “The measures outlined by President Obama, as important as they are, do not go nearly as far in the electricity sector as the actions Canada has already taken ahead of the United States in that particular sector,” he said.

The Department of Environment’s After Hours Speakers Series Presents

Deadline looms for federal government’s decision on Northern Gateway pipeline Dene Moore Canadian Press

VANCOUVER ome time in the next 10 days, the federal government is supposed to announce its final decision on the Northern Gateway pipeline – the multibillion-dollar political minefield dividing the West.

Even detractors expect the federal government to give the $7-billion project the go-ahead.

But the nod from Ottawa would not the crest of the mountain Northern Gateway must climb before the oil – and the money – begin to flow. The path to the British Columbia coast has many hurdles left for Calgarybased Enbridge and its partners.

A joint review panel of the National Energy Board and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency recommended approval of the project six months ago, subject to 209 conditions.

“The bottom line is there are 113 conditions that need to be met before construction can begin. That’s going to take a lot of time,” said company spokesman Ivan Giesbrecht.

If approved, that would be merely one more step in an ongoing process, Giesbrecht said.

“We have a lot of work to be done before we would be able to begin construction.”

There are also the five applications before the Federal Court for judicial review of the federal panel recommendation, and further court challenges are likely.

The opposition of environmental groups was always a given.

Expansion of Alberta’s oil sands has become an international target for climate activists.

“Approval seems obvious.

At the same time, opposition is so strong,” said Nikki Skuce, a resident of Smithers, B.C., and a campaigner for the environmental group Forest Ethics Advocacy.

“It’s going to be caught up in the courts for years and it’s going to be ugly on the ground. People are willing to do what it takes.”

That is no idle threat in a province that saw a decade-long War in the Woods over logging of old growth forests, which ended with new government regulations.

And opposition is not limited to environmentalists and First Nations.

Another crippling blow to the project came from the residents of Kitimat – the B.C. city with the most to gain as the pipeline terminus – when they voted to reject the project in a non-binding plebiscite.

Kitimat is no stranger to industry, born of an aluminum smelter in the 1950s, but for a

COMITÉ SPÉCIAL D’EXAMEN DES RISQUES ET DES AVANTAGES DE LA FRACTURATION HYDRAULIQUE

Le comité spécial d’examen des risques et des avantages de la fracturation hydraulique a été établi par décret pris par l’Assemblée législative le 6 mai 2013 (motion n°433).

Le comité organise des audiences publiques en vue de recueillir les opinions des citoyens yukonnais.

majority of those who voted the risks outweigh the rewards.

Even the provincial government officially opposed the project at review hearings.

Victoria appears poised to reverse itself, deploying key ministers to a flurry of recent federal announcements on marine and pipeline safety. But the Liberal government may be waiting to see which way the political wind is blowing before they change direction.

“There’s a question of whether going along with the approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline will make LNG development in B.C. more challenging by angering First Nations so adamantly opposed to the oil sands pipeline,” said George Hoberg, a professor at the University of British Columbia’s school of forestry and founder of UBCC350, a group pressing for action on greenhouse gas emissions.

There is deep resistance in B.C., he said.

“I think it’s likely to be approved, but I would not be shocked if it was delayed or even denied,” Hoberg said.

The product that the pipeline would carry is a hurdle.

The pipeline west would transport molasses-like diluted bitumen. Studies and previous spills have found that dilbit sinks in turbulent water conditions.

Opponents like Art Sterritt, director of Coastal First Nations, have said a tanker spill is possible – even likely – and cannot be cleaned up. His coalition of nine aboriginal communities remains vehemently opposed.

The greatest obstacle is the unflagging opposition of First Nations. Hamstrung by the federal government’s failure to negotiate treaties in decades of talks, the company has been left in a legal limbo.

The company said the project has 26 aboriginal equity partners and consultations continue but Clarence Innis, acting chief of the Gitxaala Nation on the North

Coast, said they haven’t heard from anyone and no talks are planned.

“We’re going to do whatever we need to do to protect our territory,” said Innis, whose community is located on an island at the mouth of the Douglas Channel.

The Gitxaala are already preparing a legal challenge.

“We played by the rules,” Innis said. “We’ve been ignored.”

The fight is far from over on either side. There are hundreds of billions of dollars at stake, the company has said.

“It’s in the national interest to be able to diversify the markets that we have for our most valuable natural resource,” Giesbrecht said.

“We believe the project is the right thing for Canada, we’ve felt that way right from the very beginning and that’s why we’ve pursued it.

THE

ARTS

Local artists capture subtle side of northern beauty ‘I think you can find more interesting details in that aspect of nature. A lot of it is very unique, you walk down a trail and find different plants, there’s a diversity on the ground floor that isn’t in the mountains.’

lise Bousquet and Shelley MacDonald were first brought together by a local soccer team. Now, years later, they’ve been reunited by art.

The duo are sharing space at Arts Underground, in the Focus Gallery, with Frondescence, a show of fine art and jewelry.

Both Bousquet and MacDonald are influenced heavily by the Yukon landscape, their pieces drawn from the pull of nature and the intricacies found in the North.

Bousquet, a born and raised Yukoner, stood surrounded by her paintings last week, preparing the space for the show that opened on Friday, June 6.

She points to one painting, a stream running off the Dempster Highway, and says “the Dempster is known for its big mountains but I was more interested in the little things. Not necessarily the mountain landscapes but more details within nature – the leaves, the foliage, what’s on the ground.”

The stream, running down Hart River Road, would be easy to miss while travelling the highway, but Bousquet captures its fine details, making something subtle and small seem powerful and pulling the viewer into the piece.

Bousquet’s journey into art began with a fascination with chil-

Carmacks for a three-month work contract, she’s now in her third year of Yukon living. She understands the love people feel for the natural elements of the North and how they can be captured by it.

She wants her jewelry line to offer there’s a diversity on the ground dren’s illustration books, which grew into amateur naturalism and floor that isn’t in the mountains.” that same feeling.

North’s vast, often overpowering landscapes.

“I think you can find more interesting details in that aspect of nature,” she says. “A lot of it is very unique, you walk down a trail and find different plants,

places I find soothing and I try to convey that.”

Similarly, MacDonald uses the vibrancy of the North, the landscapes and the wildlife, as influence for her jewelry.

Having originally moved to

in jewelry her teacher pulled her aside and told her “this is where you’re meant to be.”

“I really like the attention to detail,” she says of the time spent working on her craft.

“It’s so meticulous, and I enjoy working with my hands. The hours pass by and it seems like an hour.”

MacDonald is so dedicated to her pursuit that she often works into the wee hours of the morning, creating art in the silence and stillness of the night. Not long ago, she became so engrossed with a piece – a miniature cast of a moosehead – that she worked on it for 12 hours straight.

The time spent working, hunched over, ended up sending her the hospital with an injury to her tailbone. She laughs about it now and dismisses it as a small price to pay for the gift of filling her time with her passion.

Her pieces hang from antlers, or rest against wooden displays.

The antlers were gathered by a Carmacks resident, and spraypainted black by MacDonald, the silver and stones popping in contrast.

A silver ring, coated by a whirl of fox fur, hangs at the end of one. Next to it, the moosehead Alistair Maitland/Yukon News is bathed in the gold light of the gallery.

“Sometimes people take nature for granted,” she says, “and we live shining like the northern lights, a kaleidoscope of green and blue in such a beautiful country. I want hues. to show it through my art.”

Polar bear neck camera shows life on ice Dan Joling Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska he first video of life on Arctic sea ice from a polar bear point of view has been released by the U.S. Geological Survey.

The agency on Friday released a clip recorded by a camera attached to the collar of a female polar bear

T

without cubs in the Beaufort Sea north of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

The necks of polar bear males are wider than their heads and collars slide off.

The clip shows the bear pursuing a seal under water, dunking a frozen seal into seawater and interacting with a male who might be a suitor.

The cameras are part of a study to find out how polar bears, listed as a threatened species, are responding to sea ice loss from global warming. Scientists in the Beaufort are generally limited to about six weeks of field work each spring, between the time it’s light enough to work and before ice begins to break up.

“It’s all information that we wouldn’t be able to get otherwise,” said Todd Atwood, research leader for the USGS Polar Bear Research Program, from his office in Anchorage.

The collars were attached in April and collected eight to 10 days later as a test run of how they eventually will be deployed for longer periods. Cameras were attached to two bears in 2013, but the batteries could not handle Arctic temperatures, Atwood said.

Redesigned collars were attached to four females that already were going to be captured for blood samples on a study of behaviour and energy expenditure led by USGS research biologist Anthony Pagano. The bears already carry collars with GPS recording data and accelerometers, an activity sensor that records whether a bear is resting, walking, swimming or hunting.

Scientists previously have matched accelerometer signatures with observations in zoo bears.

curacy of the devices.

It’s all part of an attempt to help scientists determine how polar bears are exerting energy as their habitats change, Pagano said.

With the summer thaw, bears either stay on shore or on sea ice.

In recent years, the edge of the ice has melted hundreds of miles from shore, leaving ice far from the shallow outer continental shelf waters where seals and walrus live.

Scientists want to find out, for example if a bear far from shore on sea ice is resting more to save energy because it can no longer hunt.

Atwood said the 38 to 40 hours of video from the neck cameras have yielded surprises – such as the female bear and a male tussling with a seal carcass in what might be courting behaviour.

“The fact that they appear to be playing around with their food, we’re not sure what that means,” he said.

Other footage shows a bear pursuing a seal underwater. Polar bear hunting behaviour generally is thought to consist largely of waiting beside a breathing hole or collapsing lairs of ringed seals.

The female at one point drops a frozen seal carcass in seawater and scientists speculate she’s trying to thaw it out, Atwood said.

The USGS is part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Polar Bear Recovery Team that will draft a Polar Bear Conservation Management Plan to meet requirements of the Endangered Species Act. The law requires the plan to guide activities for polar bear conservation.

The proud display of contemporary Yukon life has also become a deep theme of this market. Each week Yukoners have access to free workshops that range from cooking with Yukon native products to this week’s workshop, a showcase of local farm animals which O’Neill says will include “pigs, geese, and a horse.”

It’s this community showcasing that brings people like Renee Mills to the market. She has been attending for almost 10 years.

College graduates 5 First Nation language instructors Patti Flather

D

oris Allen has the rare gift of being proficient in teaching two distinct Yukon aboriginal languages, Gwich’in and Southern Tutchone.

She grew up in Old Crow, so Gwich’in is her mother tongue.

She learned Southern Tutchone through many years of residence in Haines Junction and Klukshu with her late husband, Grand Chief Harry Allen, and his extended family.

She’s one of five language instructors active in communities throughout the territory who recently graduated from programs offered by the Yukon Native Language Centre at Yukon College in Whitehorse.

Allen was the only instructor this year to receive her diploma, in the ceremony at the Yukon Arts Centre on May 16.

“I worked hard for that, I really put every effort I have to do that, so I’m really proud of myself,” Allen says.

Allen earned the two-year diploma after completing her threeyear certificate at the language centre.

This year’s certificate graduates are Bella Bresse of Carmacks, Kathy Magun of Watson Lake, Cresenthia Melancon of Mayo and Marion Schafer of Old Crow.

“They’re all very dedicated to their students and have a strong commitment to the revitalization of their languages,” says Mary Jane Allison, acting language programs coordinator.

Allen moved to Haines Junction as an adult, where she joined St. Elias School as an educational assistant.

Living in Southern Tutchone territory, Allen says she decided to take night classes three times weekly in that language for an entire winter.

“That landed me at my job teaching Southern Tutchone,” she says.

Allen also taught Gwich’in and assisted with Southern Tutchone in Whitehorse high schools. Last fall she returned to St. Elias, teaching Southern Tutchone in K-3 classes.

“I love working with younger students. They’re just so eager to learn and so easy to work with,” she says.

As part of her diploma, Allen completed a special project. St. Elias students created individual storybooks which Allen translated into Southern Tutchone.

With the kindergartens, Allen led group projects on big pieces of cardboard with winter and summer themes “so they could see it on paper – they could imagine it.” She added Southern Tutchone names for everything from animals, to snow on the mountains, to flowers and berries.

Kathy Magun, a Kaska teacher at Johnson Elementary, says her

language is an important part of who she is as a Kaska First Nation person and residential school survivor.

“Kaska language was my first language so that really helped me tremendously in my training along the way,” she says.

When she began working with Kaska again, Magun says “it was like I reawakened the language that was waiting dormant within me.”

Magun says some people question the value of learning aboriginal languages, but she says education in one’s minority language is a basic human right.

She says various studies show numerous lifelong benefits for children who learn a second language early in life – including improved reasoning and problem-solving and ability to learn additional languages. Magun adds that First Nations children who are connected to their cultural heritage and ancestry in school have stronger self-esteem, which is vital for overall learning.

Magun says she appreciates all languages and rejoices in hearing them spoken.

As for Kaska, “we have a really kind language,” she says. She recounts her young students asking her how to say “shut up” in Kaska.

She explained to them that there’s no phrasing for that.

“I found my language is gentle, healing is I guess the word,” she says.

“It was kind of emotional for me to walk into the arts centre with a cap and gown, but it was also a special day for me,” says Marion Schafer of Old Crow, who teaches Gwich’in at Chief Zheh Gittlit School.

Three of her grandchildren were there supporting her. “I felt so proud that day for completing my three years,” Shafer adds.

When she arrived back in Old Crow, she received graduation cards that co-worker Randall Kendi and the students had made.

“With the Grades 1, 2 and 3 it said, `I love you, Mrs. Schafer, you are a good teacher and congratulations on a job well down.’ Oh, I took that to heart.”

“What really helps me in my teaching is my fluency,” says Schafer, whose parents spoke Gwich’in to her growing up.

Cresenthia Melancon, 25, is among the younger generation of language instructors. She didn’t grow up speaking Northern Tutchone but took school language classes taught by her grandmother Catherine Germaine.

“At school, I always enjoyed going to class because I could see her teach me,” Melancon says. “She’s also my inspiration.”

Melancon works part-time at JV Clark School in Mayo and says she still seeks her grandmother’s language tips. She says she incorporates plenty of games into her classes.

“That’s the best way to learn language, when you incorporate fun with it,” she says. “I don’t want language class to be boring!”

Melancon says she also speaks Northern Tutchone at home with her two-year-old son.

Besides her work at JV Clark, she’s teaching a three-week language course this month with elder Mary Battaja through Na Cho Nyak Dun First Nation. Melancon says she plans to pursue her diploma next with the language centre.

Her advice to young people considering a career in native language instruction: “I’d say, ‘Go for it!’”

That’s an endorsement welcomed by Mary Jane Allison and language centre colleague Linda Harvey, the urban programs coordinator.

Allison, 29, was the first native language instructor coming from the Yukon public school system.

“I would like to see more people enroll into the entry-level certificate program,” Allison says.

Allison and Harvey say the language centre offers a unique

learning experience in a small group setting.

Harvey says each year she visits each certificate trainee twice in their community. Trainees also attend fall and spring workshops at the language centre, plus a literacy workshop focusing on their language.

She says trainees must find a practicum placement in a school or community setting and work with a mentor or “speaker model,” but the language centre provides support to trainees who face challenges.

“We don’t teach the language,” Harvey says. “But they learn it as they’re learning to teach,” Allison says.

Since 1986, the language centre, administered by the Council of Yukon First Nations and funded by the Government of Yukon, has produced 103 certificate graduates (85 from the Yukon) and 34 diploma graduates (31 from the Yukon).

Ten instructors have gone on to complete associate of applied science degrees in native language education with the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Gift of DNA swab kits is relatively unwelcome

by Judith Martin

MISS

MANNERS

DEAR MISS MANNERS: A family member recently arranged to have two DNA swab kits sent directly to my husband and me from a wellknown scientific organization.

The organization apparently is in the process of conducting a worldwide hereditary study.

We have no association with this organization and have

never mentioned any interest in this study to the family member. From online research I did, the kits are quite pricey and also help provide revenue to the organization.

We have no intention of sending our DNA to this organization. These kits came out of the blue, as we haven’t exchanged gifts with this

Thank You WildWise Yukon would like to thank all the businesses and individuals for their generous donations and support that helped make the

person in over 20 years and really have very little contact — maybe a note or call every few years.

How do we respond to the gift? Do we simply send a note saying we received the packages and thank you for thinking of us and then throw them away?

I would never re-gift this item, nor donate it to a charity for resale, such as one might do with a sweater or fruit bowl. Do we return the gift to the sender with a thank-you note, but point out that we will not use the kits and perhaps someone else she knows would value them? Do we return them to the scientific organization so the charged

account can be credited?

GENTLE READER: Just don’t leave any fingerprints or stray hairs on that kit when you donate it back to the organization.

And ask for its discretion in not refunding the giver’s account. Send your family member a note thanking her and leave it at that.

Miss Manners has to admit that she would relish knowing what this person hoped to find out, but respectfully defers to your lack of interest.

(Please send your questions to Miss Manners at her website, www. missmanners.com; to her email, dearmissmanners@gmail.com; or through postal mail to Miss Manners, Universal Uclick, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.)

Yukoners compete in first bodybuilding competition

Sam Riches News Reporter

E

leven Yukoners climbed into a bus and made the 18-hour drive to Fort St. John, B.C. this past weekend to flex their muscles.

The crew of amateur bodybuilders, a group of nine women and two men, were led by trainers Tanja McPherson and Lee Anne Henderson. The Whitehorse contingent traveled to Fort St. John to compete in the Northern Classic Bodybuilding Competition, hosted by the BC Amateur Bodybuilding Association.

It was the first competition for the team. Of the 11 athletes, five took home prizes.

The importance of the competition extends far beyond trophies however, said McPherson.

“This was a life-changing event for a lot of them. A lot of personal struggles they had throughout their life went away this weekend. It’s been an emotional journey.”

McPherson spoke of those who struggle with body image and fitting into a body type and the stigma around bodybuilding, that if you pick up a weight you’ll suddenly turn into a lump of muscle.

One competitor had never donned a bathing suit before the weekend’s competition because of issues with body image.

“The transformation they’ve taken so far from where they started to where they are today, I can’t even explain it,” McPherson said. “A lot of tears were shed at the competition.”

The team began training at Better Bodies eight months ago, taking people with no previous experience in weightlifting and

bodybuilding and fine tuning their bodies.

McPherson and Henderson, each personal trainers, laid out the programs, the routines and

the diets, while also juggling their other clients and working towards their own goals. It paid off.

McPherson placed first

overall in both the master’s and open categories. She was quick to deflect attention back onto the team though, when asked about her success.

“It was just a really gratifying feeling to go down there and see your competitors place and know that it made a difference in their life,” she said.

McPherson watched over the team carefully during the training, making sure workouts and diets were being followed, exchanging text messages late in the night, sending encouragement and helping the team avoid pitfalls and overcome food cravings.

In Fort St. John the togetherness of the group was noted by other competitors.

“The whole team is being talked about,” said McPherson, “because of their attitude and their positivity and their approach to the competition. Lee Anne and I are proud mommas.”

The team, which started with just one member eight months ago has now grown to 17.

McPherson and Henderson use a simplified program, with much of the focus being on clean eating and staying active.

McPherson also said one of the best suggestions they offer for those interested in getting into the gym is to find a training partner.

“It’ll give you extra motivation and support,” she said.

“Often it’s taking that first step, just getting into the gym, that’s the hardest part. Once you’re there it gets easier.”

In July, Henderson will be taking the national stage at the Canadian Bodybuilding Championships and McPherson plans on returning to the Fort St. John event next year and for the foreseeable future.

“As long as people want to give it a shot, we’re going to be around for a long time,” she said.

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.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Opportunity in a time of change Let the magic of the midnight sun and the northern lights entice you towards an exciting professional opportunity. The Yukon Registered Nurses Association (YRNA)–the regulatory body and professional voice for Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners in the Yukon–is seeking a dynamic individual to serve as our new Executive Director, working in one of Canada’s last frontiers.

The Yukon’s updated Registered Nurses Profession Act was enacted in 2012 and the Standards for Practice in 2013. A new territorial Clinical Services Plan was just released in 2014. These legislative enhancements provide the opportunity for a courageous leader to guide the development of a renewed vision for the role of nursing at a time of transformation in the delivery of healthcare, using a collaborative approach.

Significant and relevant experience and education in governance and management will be key assets in supporting this policy-driven, Board-led operation. The YRNA enjoys an ongoing, mutually beneficial relationship with the Canadian Nurses Association where the Executive Director serves in an advisory role. The Executive Director also serves on the Board of the Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators.

The ability to partner with stakeholders on health policy is integral to this role, as is an understanding of legislative and regulatory issues. The successful candidate will be expected to possess the capability for highlevel thinking, attention to detail and the ability to motivate others to strive towards nursing excellence.

Applicants need to excel at creating strong inter-personal and interprofessional relationships, to be competent leading independent projects, to actively serve on committees and to utilize a team approach.

Résumés with cover letters, addressed to the President of YRNA, must be received by June 20, 2014. Please submit by mail, email, or fax.
