Hey Dawson!

The Yukon News is available Fridays and Sundays at the Dawson City General Store and Maximilian’s Gold Rush Emporium.

he Yukon Legislative Assembly’s committee on the risks and benefits of hydraulic fracturing is touring Yukon communities this week.

On Monday the six MLAs that form the group were in Watson Lake to hear the thoughts of residents on the controversial natural gas extraction method also known as fracking.

That meeting was important, because the southeast Yukon is the most likely region to see significant oil and gas development over the next decade.

EFLO Energy Inc., which owns a controlling interest in the Kotaneelee gas field near the N.W.T. border, told the select committee in January that it would like to frack the area in the next five to 10 years.

A few people at the Watson Lake meeting spoke passionately against fracking, and a few spoke passionately for welcoming the economic benefits that the natural gas industry would bring, said Anne Middler, energy co-ordinator with the Yukon Conservation Society.

Sarah Newton, lands manager for the Liard First Nation, presented a rap to the committee urging them not to allow shale gas development in the area. “Get back to the dirt / Don’t frack with my habitat / That’s some gas we don’t need to tap / We need to move forward not back,� she rapped.

The committee met with Teslin residents on Tuesday. “Every speaker today in Teslin spoke against fracking, very, very passionately,� said Middler yesterday.

Middler gave the committee credit for making the effort to travel to Yukon communities to hear from residents. But the format of the meetings left many wanting more, she said.

The committee chose not to present information about fracking at the meetings, but instead only to collect the views of those who wished to speak.

Many people came to the

meetings thinking that they would hear from the committee about what they have learned so far, said Middler. “I think people wanted more information. They wanted more time.�

Patti McLeod, the committee chair and MLA for Watson Lake, said the purpose of the meetings was to hear from Yukoners, not to share information. “We’re not the experts, and really we want to hear what Yukoners think,� she said in an interview Wednesday morning.

All of the expert information that the committee has heard is available on the Yukon Legislative Assembly’s website, and that would be a good place for people to go if they want to learn more, she said.

Some residents are also worried about serious scheduling conflicts that are making it difficult for people to attend meetings, said Middler.

The Teslin meeting took place at 1 p.m., when many would be unable to attend, she said.

And this week’s meetings conflict with the Council of Yukon First Nations general assembly in Haines Junction, making it impossible for many First Nations leaders to attend.

Next month the committee

will visit Ross River, Faro, Carmacks, Pelly Crossing and Mayo.

But those meetings are the same week of the trial against the Yukon government launched by the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun and the Tr’ondek Hwech’in over the Peel watershed land use plan.

That will make it difficult for the people of Mayo in particular to participate in the committee’s hearings, said Middler.

The select committee is in Old Crow today and in Dawson City tomorrow.

Scheduling conflicts are unavoidable, said McLeod. “The sad thing is, is that everybody in the Yukon is kind of busy. To find a certain block of time where everybody is available would have been quite the challenge.�

Anyone who wants to share their views with the committee can also do so on the Yukon Legislative Assembly’s website, or by sending a letter or email, she said.

Hearings will be held in Haines Junction, Carcross/Tagish and Whitehorse in September.

The MLAs must produce recommendations to the legislative assembly by the end of the fall sitting.

Affordable housing for Whitehorse cancelled Ashley Joannou News Reporter

T

he Yukon government has pulled the plug on plans for affordable housing in Whitehorse.

The much-trumpeted plan was to spend the remaining $13 million from the Northern Housing Trust to cover up to half the building costs for developers who promise affordable housing.

Five projects had been identified, the Yukon Housing Corporation said, including 75 bachelor and one-bedroom apartments in Whitehorse.

The final step was for the government’s management board, which Minister Brad Cathers described as “cabinet wearing a financial hat and making financial decisions,” to give the green light.

That didn’t happen.

Now only eight units will be built, and only in the communities: six two-bedroom apartments are being built in Carmacks and two one-bedroom units in Carcross.

Cathers, the minister responsible for the housing corporation, said the government is listening to concerned realtors and landlords.

The Yukon Real Estate Association and the Yukon Residential Landlord Association publicly criticized the plan, which would have partially funded developers if they promised to keep rents below median rates for 10 years.

They said the plan would flood an already full market and hurt landlords who did not get any government help.

“We heard input from stakeholders who’ve noted significant increases in the supply of both

lots and housing units as a result of a combination of government actions and private sector actions,” Cathers said.

He said the government heard from many who “feel that the market has softened since the last statistics that government had on this” and warned that the government’s plan “could in fact create unintended negative consequences. This includes putting at risk privately-funded housing projects that are currently underway.”

Cathers pointed to Brookside Development’s plans to build 120 homes with 80 basement suites in Crestview as one example. The company was considering changing its plans if the affordable housing plan went through, the minister said.

“The rents that they are looking at, that they’ve indicated to us, include some that would be quite competitive with what’s considered affordable rent,” Cathers said.

The business saw the government’s plan as unfair and said “it would likely result in them deciding not to proceed with their current development plans because of concern that they were potentially losing the market for those affordable rentals,” Cathers said.

By stepping away from subsidizing 75 affordable housing units in Whitehorse the government is allowing this larger project to be built, he said.

“So one of the specific considerations is, whether government steps in the market, subsidizes commercial rental units and actually the net result is a larger project with fairly similar rates would potentially not proceed as a result.”

Ian Stewart/Yukon News

Brad Cathers, minister responsible for the Yukon Housing Corporation.

But without any government funding there’s no guarantee that the rents will stay at an affordable rate.

Brookside co-owner Dale Best confirmed the basement apartments would be rented out by the individual owners at market rate.

So far six one-bedrooms are on the market, with all being rented for between $900 and $1,000 a month.

The lastest statistics would have put the proposed government-subsidized units at about

$900 a month.

Best said the basement apartments in his development are 66 square metres (715 square feet.)

That’s bigger than what the government had planned.

The federal government in 2006 established the $300-million Northern Housing Trust.

The territory received $50 million over three years. The Yukon government kept about $17.5 million of that and the rest went to various First Nations.

But the money sat in the gov-

ernment coffers for years, leading to repeated criticism from the opposition parties.

Betty’s Haven, a 10-suite facility that offers transitional housing for for women and children fleeing abuse, got $4.5 million.

This latest push was supposed to use up the remaining $13 million.

The two remaining projects being funded in the communities, which will be built by the development corporations of the local First Nations, will eat up about $1.3 million.

As for what happens to the rest of the money now, Cathers said he’s “not in a position to announce exactly how that will be used.”

The government is still working on its housing action plan for Yukon, he said.

Cathers said he is formally inviting the real estate and landlord associations to become more involved in that process to identify “what some potential future actions could be within the range of the housing continuum from home ownership to shelters and social housing including affordable rental accommodations.”

He admits that developers who thought they’d be getting government funds could be upset by this turn of events.

“I certainly do acknowledge that, as with any process, if someone has gone through it and hopes to be successful, they probably would not be happy to hear that project that they thought they were going to receive funding for is not going to be funded.”

New mining rules will cover half of Yukon Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

T

he new Class 1 exploration regime will apply to 47 per cent of the territory as of next week, a spokesperson for Energy, Mines and Resources has confirmed.

Under the new rules, mining claim holders must notify the government of all low-level exploration activities that will take place on a claim.

The government must then notify any potentially affected First Nations and make accommodations where necessary.

Before these rules, companies

Ross River staking ban extended The staking ban in Ross River Dena Council territory has been extended to January 31, 2015.

A 2012 Yukon Court of Appeal decision found that the Yukon government violates the

could conduct grassroots exploration without telling anyone.

The exempt activities included things like cutting trails up to 1.5 metres in width and using explosives.

But that changed thanks to a 2012 Yukon Court of Appeal decision that found the Ross River Dena Council’s aboriginal rights were infringed by the Class 1 exploration regime.

The government implemented the new Class 1 rules to the Ross River area at the end of 2013, and added parts of the Peel watershed earlier this year.

Other First Nations demanded the same consideration,

rights of the First Nation by allowing staking on its territory without consultation.

The Yukon government has said it will meet the court’s declaration by consulting the council on what areas of the territory, if any, should be excluded from mineral staking.

and the Taku River Tlingit and the Kaska Dena Council filed lawsuits to that effect.

For that reason, the new Class 1 rules are being extended to Category A and B settlement land of Yukon First Nations and the traditional territories of unsettled First Nations.

But this new regime, covering nearly half the territory, is only an interim step towards territory-wide rules that the government hopes will be in place for the 2015 exploration season.

“There’s obviously some work that we need to do before then,” said Mines Minister Scott Kent in an interview this week.

The plan is to consult with industry and First Nations over the coming year and agree on a set of very low-level exploration activities that could be exempt from the new notification rules.

The idea is to find those activities that currently fall under Class 1 that won’t have significant impacts on the land, and allow prospectors to continue to do those without telling anyone.

The trick will be getting 11 settled Yukon First Nations, three unsettled First Nations, a number of First Nations based outside the Yukon with overlapping territory, and the mining industry to all agree.

“’We need (First Nations and industry) to be willing partners, and they have indicated that they’re interested in pursuing those discussions,” said Kent.

“Prospecting and this earlystage exploration is a crucial part of the health of the mining industry and the sustainability of the mining industry in the territory and we want to make sure that everybody understands that, and that industry is able to communicate what they need to operate not only to ourselves, but to our First Nations partners.”

The deadline to meet the court’s declaration was December 2013.

But the First Nation and the Yukon government have yet to agreed on how to meet the legal obligations that flow from the

appeal decision.

As a result staking continues to be banned in the entire Ross River area.

“The Yukon government continues to consult with the Ross River Dena Council on how to address this decision,” according to today’s news release. “The

government is committed to completing the consultation and reaching a solution in time for the 2015 exploration season.”

Miners with claims in the area will be exempt from requirements to work their claims until the issue has been resolved.

We hope this closure will in the long term ultimately result in a return of chinook salmon to the levels that we have seen in the past.”

Every Tuesday during the chinook run representatives from communities all along the Yukon River meet for a teleconference call to share information about the river and the fish.

On this week’s call many Alaskan communities expressed frustration at strict fishing restrictions designed to allow a harvest of summer chum salmon while allowing the chinook to pass.

Yukon government seeks input on herbicide permit Ashley Joannou News Reporter

E

nvironment Yukon is giving Yukoners a chance to comment on plans to use herbicides along the White Pass and Yukon Route railway tracks.

A public review period is required whenever someone applies for a permit to spray herbicides, said Environment Minister Currie Dixon.

This is the first time the government has had to review such a permit since 2005.

“It’s something that we do as a matter of course with regards to these type of permits,” Dixon said.

White Pass has applied for a Yukon permit to use herbicides on the tracks that run from Carcross to the British Columbia border.

It says it’s required by Transport Canada to take care of the weeds that grow along the track. According to the company, mechanical weed whacking can take care of some of the problem, but leaving the roots in place can damage tracks and make them potentially unsafe.

In an earlier interview the White Pass identified the chemical in its plans as Monsanto’s Aquamaster. In fact, that product is on the application for the U.S. portion of the track, not the Yukon.

For the Yukon track, the company has applied to use two different products: Visonmax and Arsenal.

Like Aquamaster, the active chemical in Visonmax is glyphosate.

Glyphosate is currently under review by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

A hazardous material information sheet on Visonmax warns to “avoid direct applications to any body of water. Do not use in areas where adverse impact on domestic water or aquatic species is likely.”

ecosystems because they are characterized by long biologically inactive winters and short growing seasons.”

Rifkind praised Yukon Energy for choosing to do a test program before making a decision on its proposed plans to use herbicide.

The energy company is in the midst of tests to see if the chemicals can be used to control plant growth under power lines.

“I often don’t see eye-to-eye with Yukon Energy on a wide range of issues, but they’re taking the right approach,” said Rifkind.

Dixon said taking the time to make sure everything is safe is important.

“Finding that balance between the public safety of the railway and the environmental safety of the chemicals is obviously what we need to achieve,” he said.

“And we need to be able to demonstrate to Yukoners that this chemical can be used safely without damaging the water or any other Mike Thomas/Yukon News parts of the environment.”

How to break the resource deadlock Bill Gallagher

A

boriginal communities right across the country will have likely won 200 legal rulings in the resources sector by the end of this year. This unprecedented winning streak has become the central plank in the native empowerment ‘toolbox’ and it outclasses the toolboxes of governments and industry, both of whom now seem to accept resource project delays as an economic fact of life.

Indeed the cumulative negative impact on our resources future is the biggest under-reported business story of the decade. Over the past year, I have been promoting a series of recommendations at resource symposiums to reverse this unhappy trend.

Before delving into my suggestions however, it is important to note that the federal government is pretty well out of the resources business. The provinces rule that roost, the northern territories have been sufficiently devolved in order to run their affairs, and even offshore energy plays are managed under joint boards. The feds are left with mandates in (some) environmental approvals, climate change protocols, speciesat-risk, marine transportation and national infrastructure. None of these drive resource projects.

It’s precisely because Ottawa is out of the resources business that it needs to get into it. And the mechanism for returning to the fore requires the creation of an entirely new federal ministry that will act as a clearing-house. Nothing on this scale exists.

Recommendation 1: Canada needs a ‘Ministry of Access to Resources’ in recognition of the fact that the existing federal, provincial, and native approach to accessing resources is outright broken – and worse – lost in translation. This new ‘Access to

Resources Ministry’ would report through the Privy Council Office direct to the Prime Minister’s Office. That will ensure high-level commitment, political will, and federal and provincial clout: these are the essential ingredients for moving the yardsticks.

Recommendation 2: An empowered ‘Native Secretariat’ would comprise a key component of the new ministry. But no staffing from Aboriginal Affairs, Department of Justice, or Treasury Board (the usual choke-points) as proper strategic recruiting will be critical. The emphasis will be on affording First Nations, Métis and Inuit the opportunity to commercialize their new-found empowerment in an atmosphere that fully recognizes their treaty, land claim, and aboriginal rights. This mandate would initially be premised upon their legal winning streak as resource gatekeepers; with the goal of having them become ‘players’ in all future project outcomes. I believe this secretariat is long overdue.

Recommendation 3: An immediate commitment to develop and implement a national equalization program for ‘Resource Revenue Sharing’ with annual funding dispersed on a weightedaverage calculation across the board. Funding would come out of the federal budget. Administering this funding mechanism would be a central function of the new ministry – working with Finance.

Three words keep popping-up with business commentators to describe our national resources conundrum: ‘gridlocked, deadlocked, landlocked’. And they’re usually preceded by three other words, depending on the commentator’s context, namely: politically, geographically, economically.

terms are completely interchangeable. So I would say it this way: Empowered native and ecoactivist agendas have resulted in political gridlock. Uncoordinated federal and provincial missteps have resulted in economic deadlock. Industry’s reliance on its status-quo legal toolbox has resulted in resources landlock.

If we don’t develop a new approach, news media will continue to churn out coverage of missed opportunities in the resources sector. The three proposals above recognize that native empowerment in the resources sector is here to stay, but more importantly, it’s the key to success.

The overwhelmingly stressed situation demands a federal response to a federal crisis. I believe Canadians will agree that it’s high time to get moving on considering these recommendations, as well as other silo-busting proposals to get our resources economy up-and-running for all to benefit.

Let’s turn the page and make it work.

Given that the good people of the territory will be paying their property taxes this week and next, I thought it would be a good time to revisit the unfairness created by the current system.

The biggest issue I have with the current property tax scheme is that residents of Granger and Copper Ridge pay, on average, 25 per cent more in property tax than Riverdale and Porter Creek residents with equivalent sized homes.

The Granger/Riverdale disparity is a bit of a mystery, though I believe it is likely a result of the Riverdale homes being built in the ‘60s and ‘70s and the replacement value set by the assessors failing to keep up with inflation. When the Granger and Copper Ridge subdivisions were built in the ‘90s modern replacement costs were assigned, which resulted in a disparity with the older neighbourhoods whose assessment hadn’t kept up with inflation.

A secondary issue, but no less important, is that homes in Wolf Creek and Mary Lake pay twice as much property tax as similar homes in Golden Horn just outside of city limits.

The Wolf Creek and Mary Lake disparity is a byproduct of

the difference between the Yukon government mill rate and City of Whitehorse mill rate. This creates winners and losers, as people who live in Golden Horn enjoy access to the City of Whitehorse while paying a much smaller Yukon government property tax bill.

In order to bring some order to the chaos, I have suggested that property taxes in Golden Horn be brought into line with city taxes or, conversely, that Wolf Creek assessments be brought into line with Golden Horn. It doesn’t make sense to have similar homes in similar areas paying different property taxes.

In regards to residential lots in the City of Whitehorse proper I’ve made a bolder suggestion, which is that we move away from assessments altogether and

number that will explain why areas are paying the rates they are paying.

If you don’t buy my argument for a fixed residential rate, I hope you do agree that the city needs to take steps to end the property tax disparity across the city. To maintain the status quo just doesn’t make any sense, especially for residents of Granger and Copper Ridge. Whatever system we employ needs to treat all taxpayers fairly and ensure that people in similar circumstances are paying the same amount of tax. Granger and Copper Ridge are currently carrying more than their fair load. As a final note, a quick look at local realty listings shows two houses for sale, one in Riverdale at 37 Alsek and one in Copper Ridge at 4 Zircon Lane, each at a price just shy of $350,000. The home on Alsek pays $3,300 in Ian Stewart/Yukon News property tax. The home in Copper Ridge pays $4,400.

Again, this isn’t me hunting introduce a fixed tax per lot, with that number each year regardless for situations that fit my theory a different fixed rate for each area of the home on the lot.

– these are the first two homes Same would apply for Porter of town. This approach is possible I found on the realtor website Creek, Crestview and Wolf Creek, around the same price in the in Whitehorse as we have managed to create pretty homogenous which contain pretty similar types different neighbourhoods. There of lots and homes.

Dippers failed to follow the mail-out rules Recently the federal NDP party was ordered by the Board of Internal Economy to repay $ 1.17 million for misusing their House of Commons mailing privileges. The MPs in question owe $36,000 to the House, while the remaining $1.13 million is owed to Canada Post.

Given that members of Parliament rely on mailing as one of the tools to stay in touch with their constituents, I thought it was important to clarify how the NDP broke the rules. The neutral House of Commons administrative officials determined that the NDP mailings violated the rules for using MPs’ Commons envelopes and free postal privileges. They violated this in several ways; • The mailings were not messages from the individual members as members, but rather were prepared by and for the benefit of the NDP as a political party, including directing recipients to a website where they could donate to the party. Party fundraising is strictly forbidden when using

House of Commons resources.

• They sent 1.8 million pieces of mail by 23 New Democrat MPs – including NDP Leader Tom Mulcair – into 26 ridings currently held by other parties/members. Not since March 2010, when a motion to have this practice disallowed passed, have MPs been allowed to send so-called Ten Percenters into their opponents’ ridings.

• Members of Parliament may not use their member’s budget to hire external printing services to print, produce or distribute printed materials other than season’s greetings cards in volumes exceeding 4,500 copies.

The NDP printed 1.8 million pieces, grossly violating that restriction.

Members of Parliament are obligated to communicate with our constituents and provide them our contact information so we are accessible. We use the opportunity to highlight what we are doing in Ottawa and around our constituencies.

All other parties’ – Conservative,

Liberal and Bloc Quebecois – MPs had complained that the NDP is using taxpayer-funded, parliamentary resources for purely partisan activities, which are supposed to be funded by political parties. This practice is simply not acceptable, and in violation of the House rules. The NDP needs to repay the money.

Former Tory MP Del Mastro on trial on Elections Act charges from 2008 campaign Diana Mehta Canadian Press

PETERBOROUGH, ONT. member of Parliament, whose job it once was to beat down allegations of Conservative voter fraud, used backdated invoices from a dataresearch firm to help cover up campaign overspending for the 2008 election, a Crown lawyer told the trial of Dean Del Mastro.

Del Mastro paid for the firm’s services from a personal account, which meant he exceeded a limit on personal contributions, but tried to make it appear the company had only charged a fraction of the cost during the campaign, Crown prosecutor Tom Lemon alleged Monday, the first day of the trial in Peterborough, Ont. Del Mastro has pleaded not guilty to charges of overspending during the 2008 campaign, failing to report a personal contribution of $21,000 to his own campaign and knowingly submitting a falsified document.

He said Monday he was pleased

A

his trial was underway.

“It’s been a long time coming,” he said outside court. “I’ve been waiting since June of 2012 to put this all to bed. I’m very confident what the outcome will be and we look forward to getting to the other side of this.”

Del Mastro added that nothing happened in court on Monday that he hadn’t expected to hear.

Richard McCarthy, Del Mastro’s official agent for the 2008 campaign, is being tried at the same time on three charges, including “incurring election expenses in an amount more than the election expenses limit.” He has also pleaded not guilty.

At the heart of the case are Del Mastro’s dealings with Ottawabased data-consulting company Holinshed Research, which made voter identification and get-outthe-vote telephone calls for Del Mastro during the campaign.

Lemon alleged Del Mastro’s campaign initially paid Holinshed a $10,000 cheque and gave the company a post-dated cheque for September 2008 that was worth

$11,000 – for a total of $21,000.

“As the campaign progressed, Mr. Del Mastro and Mr. McCarthy realized the campaign was in danger of exceeding its expense limit,” Lemon said, adding that McCarthy then cancelled the postdated cheque.

Del Mastro, Lemon alleged, then paid Holinshed $21,000 for its services using a personal cheque from an account he shared with his wife. The amount would have put him over the maximum $2,100 candidates can contribute to their own campaigns.

The personal cheque was dated August 2008, before the election, but Del Mastro’s bank records show that he only had the $21,000 in October, Lemon noted.

After Holinshed president Frank Hall received Del Mastro’s cheque in October, he then wrote out a $10,000 cheque from Holinshed to McCarthy, to reimburse him for what was by then an overpayment for services, Lemon said.

Hall and Del Mastro continued to correspond between October and December 2008, with Del

Mastro promising Holinshed further business from his constituency office and the Peterborough Conservative Electoral District Association, Lemon said.

In November 2008, Del Mastro asked Hall to provide a quote and invoice for analysis on get-outthe-vote data collected during the election campaign and asked him to date the invoice for September 2008, Lemon alleged.

Del Mastro signed and dated the documents, which billed for $1,575 in services, for September 2008 as well,even though he received them by December 2008, said Lemon.

At the same time, Hall had also sent Del Mastro a Holinshed quote for services to the Peterborough Conservative EDA for $14,175 dated for June 2008 at Del Mastro’s request, and a quote for services for Del Mastro’s constituency office for $7,434 dated for November 2008, Lemon said.

RCMP had found both documents were actually created in November 2008, he added.

“The last two quotes closely

mirrored the $21,000 Holinshed fee for the campaign,” Lemon told the court.

When Del Mastro’s campaign eventually filed its expenses with Elections Canada in February 2009, only a Holinshed invoice for $1,575 was reported, said Lemon.

“The $21,000 Holinshed expense was not reported as either an expense or contribution. Doing so would have put the campaign substantially over its expense limit,” he said.

“Thus the Holinshed invoice for $1,575 comfortably permitted the campaign to be below its expense limit.”

Hall was called as the trial’s first witness on Monday afternoon but his testimony was delayed by wrangling between the Crown and defence over whether certain electronic evidence was permissible.

If found guilty, Del Mastro and McCarthy could each face fines of $1,000 and a year behind bars.

A conviction would not stop Del Mastro from running from office again.

Alaska restaurant owner fords swollen creek to deliver food order to stranded motorists Associated Press FAIRBANKS, ALASKA little thing like a flooded creek was not enough to keep an Alaska restaurant owner from delivering Thai ribs and fried rice to stranded customers over the weekend.

Anuson “Knott” Poolsawat, owner of Knott’s Take Out in North Pole, forded the swollen waters of Clear Creek to reach two customers stuck along the Richardson Highway, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports.

Mike Laiti and Brandon Borgens were completing a multi-day drive Saturday night up the Alaska Highway when they called in their order to the restaurant, which was near closing.

A

As they approached Clear Creek, they learned a sinkhole had developed from heavy rain near the creek. The state Department of Transportation closed the bridge.

Laiti called Poolsawat to cancel their order at the restaurant more than 25 miles away in North Pole.

“I called him and said, ‘Hey man, I can’t make it,’ and he said, ‘Not a problem, I’ll come cross the waters,”’ Laiti said. “He called me and said, ‘Should I bring a boat?”’

Poolsawat arrived with takeout boxes containing Thai barbecue ribs and Thai fried rice. Another box held a “dinosaur egg” – a hardboiled egg that’s fried and covered in a sweet sesame sauce.

Poolsawat hiked up his shorts and waded through the creek, holding the takeout boxes over his head. The cold water was hip-deep.

Poolsawat had already done them a favour by staying open late, Laiti said. The delivery was beyond expectations.

“He’d help anybody out.

He’s just a really good positive attitude, just a good guy,” Laiti said. “He’s definitely a goofball character and the food he makes is great.”

US special forces will face complex challenges, precarious political situation in Iraq Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press

WASHINGTON .S. teams of special forces going into Iraq after a three-year gap will face an aggressive insurgency, a splintering military and a precarious political situation as they help Iraqi security forces improve their ability to battle Sunni militants.

The Army Green Berets, who are expected to make up much of the U.S. force, have been assessing and training other militaries for decades as a core part of their job.

But while much of what they will be doing in Iraq will be familiar, it will be complicated by the stunning collapse of the Iraqi military, left leaderless by internal SunniShiite divisions.

Experts suggest that while the elite commandos may be able to stop the immediate deterioration of Iraqi forces, it will require a far broader effort to quell the deep sectarian divide in the country and put systems in place to build more professional military leadership.

The U.S. and Iraq this week reached a key agreement on legal protections that will enable up to 300 special operations forces to deploy in the country. Two teams of 12 members each are already in Iraq and could begin their assessment this week, and another four teams are expected to go into the country soon.

“They will be very good at improving the immediate tactical proficiency of some of the Iraqi military, but they will be less prepared to address the longterm health of the Iraqi army,” said retired Lt. Gen. James Dubik, who was in charge of training Iraqi forces in 2007 and 2008. In essence, he said, the U.S. teams will be “sharpening the tip of the spear, but not replacing the rotted staff with a new one.”

In a string of battlefield victories, the Sunni militants have captured several key towns in the north and on the border with

for a government transition that will better empower the minorities and bring the country together, thus conceivably avoiding a civil war.

The legal agreement signed Monday was needed to get the special forces into Iraq.

The Pentagon spokesman, Rear Adm. John Kirby, said Iraq had outlined acceptable legal assurances for the short-term mission in a diplomatic note ensuring that troops will not be subject to Iraq’s judicial process. Instead, if there are any problems, troops would be subject to the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The legal protections are similar to those provided to U.S. diplomats and troops working out of the embassy, officials said, White House spokesman Josh Ahmed al-Husseini/AP Photo Earnest drew a distinction between An Iraqi volunteer force trains in the Shiite holy city of Karbala, 50 80 kilometres south of the current situation and the Baghdad, Iraq on Tuesday. administration’s desire to have the Iraqi parliament approve immunSyria, sending Iraqi troops fleeing. countries build and improve their not embed with the fighting units ity for American troops when the or engage in direct combat. militaries.

Iraq turmoil threatens oil industry vital to war battered economy Sinan Salaheddin Associated Press

BAGHDAD he turmoil in Iraq has thrown the OPEC member’s ambitious plans to boost oil production into doubt, threatening to crimp its most vital economic lifeline.

Northern oil fields imperiled by the militants’ advance have been shut down, and companies have begun evacuating workers elsewhere in the country. Iraq’s Kurdish minority has moved to solidify control over the northern oil-rich city of Kirkuk and other disputed areas, weakening Baghdad’s claims to the energy riches buried beneath while bolstering the Kurds’ aspirations of greater autonomy.

The heart of Iraq’s oil industry is in the mainly Shiite south, which so far has been spared this month’s advance by militants led by the al-Qaida spin-off group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

The insurgents quickly took over Iraq’s second-largest city of Mosul, Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit and smaller communities in the Sunni heartland as government forces melted away.

As they disappeared, Kurdish

security forces pushed deeper into contested territories abutting their self-ruled northern enclave.

A senior Iraqi oil official said Baghdad has lost at least 400,000 barrels a day because of production cuts at oil fields in Kirkuk and nearby towns. Authorities also have had to shut down the Beiji refinery, which has been the scene of fierce clashes. Authorities have only been able to produce 30,000 to 40,000 barrels a day from Kirkuk fields to feed a small refinery, the official said.

The Beiji refinery and a nearby power plant supply Iraq with a third of its refined fuel and nearly a tenth of its electricity, according to Barclays analysts.

A major export pipeline controlled by Baghdad that traverses restive Sunni-dominated areas of northern Iraq was shut down earlier this year due to terrorist attacks.

So far, the Kurds have not approached Kirkuk’s oil fields or tried to pump oil through an independent export pipeline through Turkey that they built late last year, the oil official said.

But their advance has left them “much more well-positioned to retain full control of the contested territories,” including Kirkuk, said Ayham Kamel, Middle East and North Africa director at Eurasia

Group in London.

“The new reality embodies Kurdish aspirations and withdrawing from all of these territories is close to impossible,” Kamel said.

Kirkuk, 300 kilometres north of Baghdad, is home to Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen, who all have competing claims to the area. Kurds have long wanted to incorporate it into their largely autonomous region, but Arabs and Turkmen are opposed.

In the 1970s and 1980s the Arab-dominated government in Baghdad drove hundreds of thousands of Kurds out of Kirkuk and surrounding regions, settling

Arabs from the south in their place in an attempt to pacify a region that had seen repeated revolts.

With an eye on statehood, the Kurds appear to be gearing up for a conflict with Baghdad on the issue. The prime minister of the Kurdish region, Nechervan Barzani, recently said there “is no way to go back to pre-Mosul Iraq” and that any political compromise must take into consideration the reality on the ground.

Down south, where Iraq’s main oil facilities are concentrated far from militant-held territory, oil companies, including Exxon Mobil and BP, have evacuated foreign employees from some major fields,

another senior Iraqi oil official said. The move has not affected the production from the safer southern fields yet, but “it is a worrying sign for us,” the official added.

Both oil officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to brief media outlets.

Exxon and BP both declined to comment.

Earlier this year, Angola’s Sonangol decided to abandon two small oil fields it won rights to develop in 2009 outside Mosul due to security problems.

And a few days after the latest militants’ incursion, Korea’s staterun KOGAS delayed the development of a promising gas field in Iraq’s western Anbar province, near the border with Syria.

The Kurds have signed dozens of energy deals covering territory they control – contracts Baghdad deems illegal since it believes it has the sole authority to negotiate rights to drill on Iraqi territory.

Encouraged by what was then an improving security situation, Iraq in 2008 started to attract international oil companies to develop its vast untapped oil and gas reserves to bring in sorely needed cash for postwar reconstruction.

The country, which holds the world’s fourth largest oil reserves of some 143.1 billion barrels, has since awarded more than a dozen oil and gas deals. Its daily production and exports have jumped to levels not seen since the late 1970s or early 1980s as a result.

Daily production earlier this year hit 3.5 million barrels, up from nearly 2.4 million a day in 2009, with the bulk coming from the south. Exports averaged nearly 2.6 million barrels a day last month.

Iraq hopes to reach 5 million to 6 million barrels per day in 2015, and envisions that figure rising to 9 million to 10 million barrels per day by 2020.

Others aren’t so sure. The Parisbased International Energy Agency forecasts production growing to just 4.5 million barrels by the end of the decade, given the infrastructure bottlenecks and instability.

Current events in Iraq – the second-largest OPEC crude exporter – have already had an impact on oil markets.

On Monday, the price of crude oil hovered near a nine-month high, with Brent crude, used to price international oil, having jumped 63 cents to $115.44 a barrel in London, close to last Thursday’s $115.71, its highest level since Sept. 9 last year.

Maria van der Hoeven, the IEA’s executive director, said last week that “the situation is obviously very fluid on the ground,” making it hard to forecast production scenarios.

“Clearly there is significant additional downside risk,” she warned.

That’s a lot less overtime for the government to pay.

And finally, there is the Yukon’s high-end tourist market: powerful business people from Outside who want to come in, hunt some big game, and get out again fast.

“Some of these people have multi-million dollar businesses,

and every day they’re sitting at a site waiting for a plane is lost opportunity for them,” Sharp said.

“We can say, we’ll get you to Seattle tonight. We’ll call you, you’ll walk straight onto our jet and you’ll be sitting in Seattle at 10 o’clock tonight,” he said.

The company hasn’t had a ton of demand for the jet just yet, but Sharp isn’t worried about it.

Tintina doesn’t actually own

the jet. It’s owned by a silent partner who wanted to have a personal jet at his disposal in Whitehorse.

The problem for him was that the annual costs of keeping a bird like that sitting in a hanger, much less flying around the North, can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

So Sharp made him an offer: let Tintina lease and charter the jet as a way to recoup some of those costs, in exchange for taking care of the maintenance, storage and flying.

So far it seems to be working out pretty well.

“We’re not expecting this will be an aircraft that will do 300 hours a year. It’ll probably be closer to 100, but it’s a niche machine.

I’m not looking at this year. I’m looking at this thing two or three years out. What are people going to be doing with it then?”

The company flies it at roughly the same price as a turbo prop like a King Air, only it’ll go much faster.

“Do you want to go to Old Crow faster? Do you want to go to Rankin Inlet without stopping in Yellowknife? Those are the kinds of scenarios they’re looking at.”

LaRoche and her team collected their samples Friday from different depths of the Bedford Basin in the northwestern end of Halifax harbour, from the water’s surface to the bottom.

The nutrient-rich Bedford Basin is an ideal spot to collect samples because it shares similar characteristics with deeper waters off the Scotian Shelf, she added.

LaRoche said the samples taken will be filtered and the DNA extracted and sequenced.

finite. … By the end of the day, you do feel quite tired.”

Boston said her experience also made her more empathetic to the pain experienced by her patients. In Lucky Dog, she wrote of an ultrasound-guided biopsy where a sample was taken by aspiration, which involves placing suction on the biopsy needle with a syringe.

“I don’t think I’m very brave, but it was really painful to go through that,” Boston recalled. “Our dogs are such good patients so they’ll let us do a lot, but I came back from that experience and said to my colleagues: ‘We can’t do aspirates on thyroids anymore on these dogs without sedation because they deserve that. …’

“I think I’ve always been aware of pain management and good nursing care, but I think it does make you even more aware of that when you’ve gone through those things yourself,” she added. “I really respect our patients because they really put up with a lot. They’ll run out of a hospital after a thyroid surgery, and I was in bed for two weeks after my thyroid surgery. So, I think it gave me a real appreciation for my patients and how tough they are and how they’re able to get through a lot – a lot of things better than we do.”

Boston and her husband, Dr. Stephen Lee, relocated to the U.S. just under two years ago, where she is an associate professor of surgical oncology at the University of Florida.

Despite having lost patients and her own pets, animals remain a central part of Boston’s life away from the job as well, with her cat Romeow and dog Rumble at home. She also recalled how her late dog, Molly, was a source of comfort as she underwent her cancer treatment.

“I’ve always had pets since I was a baby, so it would be very strange for me to live without having pets,” she said.

“I enjoy it. It gives me comfort. …

It’s almost like I can’t imagine it any other way.”

Yukon senior athletes prepare for the largest +55 Games ever Sam Riches News Reporter

T

he Yukon’s largest-ever contingent of senior athletes are preparing to compete at the 55+ Games this August in Strathcona County, Alta.

In the past, the Yukon has typically been one of the smallest contingents at the Games. Despite this, at the last event in 2012, the team collected 31 medals in track and field alone.

The team has also won the Spirit of the Games award three times, which is awarded to teams with the best overall spirit and sportsmanship.

After winning the award three years in a row, there was a moratorium against the team, said ElderActive association president, Alistair Maitland/Yukon News

The largest contingent of 19 participants will be playing slopitch, followed by 17 athletes in track and field and 16 members competing in carpet bowling.

The Alberta organizers are expecting 2,500 athletes and participants, making it the biggest games ever for Canadians over the age of 55 years.

Parlee said the excitement level of the team is running high heading into the most widely attended games in history, but there’s more to the experience than just bringing home medals. “It’s a friendly competition,� he said. “And a big part of it is meeting old friends we’ve competed against in the past.�

Last week the team held a pep rally in preparation for the upcoming games, which included appearances from Mayor Dan Curtis and Coun. John Streicker.

xercise is an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. Including exercise in your daily routine can lower your risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and even sharpen mental acuity, reduce anxiety and improve mood.

But as beneficial as exercise can be, many men and women, particularly men and women over the age of 50, who have not laced up their sneakers in years are hesitant to begin an exercise regimen for a variety of reasons, potentially putting their long-term health at risk.

Regardless of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age, beginning a new exercise regimen can be intimidating. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially so for men and women over the age of 50, who might not know where to begin or how to approach adopting a healthier lifestyle.

According to the National Institute on Aging, the following are a few points men and women should know as they attempt to improve their physical fitness with a more active lifestyle. â&#x20AC;˘ Exercise is safe even if you have not been physically active in a long time. Many older men and women worry that suddenly embracing physical fitness after years of inactivity may be detrimental to their health.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only true if men and women donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exercise caution at the outset of their routines. When beginning the routine, take things very slowly at first, choosing to walk or bike every day rather than hitting the treadmill and adjusting it to maximum resistance.

When strength training, start off with very little weight so your muscles can grow acclimated to the motions and you can get the exercises down pat. As you grow more comfortable and your body starts to feel more up to the challenges of daily exercise,

tyou can begin to gradually make your workouts more challenging. â&#x20AC;˘ Exercise can make existing medical conditions more manageable. Men and women over the age of 50 who have pre-existing medical conditions are likely to find that exercise alleviates rather than exacerbates their physical problems.

The NIA notes that studies have shown that regular exercise and physical activity can benefit people with arthritis, high blood pressure and heart disease. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still recommended that men and women with pre-existing medical conditions consult with their physicians before making any lifestyle changes.

Some conditions may affect a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to be active, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to get the go-ahead from a physician before beginning an exercise regimen.

Doctors may even suggest certain activities that have been known to alleviate particular conditions. â&#x20AC;˘ Exercise reduces fatigue, so sitting around to preserve strength is not effective. Exercise improves strength and energy levels, so sitting on the sideline to preserve your strength is counterproductive and could lead to serious medical problems.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Report on Physical Activity

and Healthâ&#x20AC;? from the U.S. surgeon generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office noted that men and women who are inactive are almost twice as likely to develop heart disease as those who are more active. While getting adequate rest and giving your body ample time recover from physical activity is essential, your body wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t benefit by avoiding exercise to preserve your strength. However, even moderate physical activity performed on a regular basis can reduce fatigue. â&#x20AC;˘ No one is too old to exercise.

Some may feel that their toned down workouts cannot possibly be making much of an impact thanks to the physical limitations old age has put on their bodies, while others may think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unwise for someone in their 70s or 80s to be physically active. But exercise helps the body stay strong and fit even when you can no longer max out on the bench press or squat hundreds of pounds. Scaling back your exercise routine will be necessary as you get older, but that does not mean you cannot still enjoy and benefit from physical activity.

Continuing to exercise as you age is a great way to improve your quality of life and stay as active as possible well into your golden years.

Don’t post anything that might offend a future boss

by Judith Martin

MISS

MANNERS DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am developing a presentation on social media to inform students of proper content in regards to the work world and future employers.

Currently, the most widely used standard is, “If you wouldn’t want your mom (grandmother, or other family member) to see it, don’t post it.” However, I do not think this is adequate. Most families have similar moral and ethical backgrounds, and thus may be more lenient with content than the hiring manager of an international company.

What would you tell students to use as their guide?

GENTLE READER: Is there something wrong with saying, “If you don’t want a job interviewer or your boss to see it, don’t post it”?

An impeccable alternative would be, “Would Miss Manners approve?” You will note that she has phrased it in the conditional so as not to encourage those who think it would be delightful to try to shock her.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: What is a proper birthday toast for someone who is terminally ill?

GENTLE READER: If your concern is that it would be dishonest or disingenuous not to mention the illness, please stop. The purpose of the party, Miss Manners assures you, is to celebrate the birthday and express heartfelt appreciation for the celebrant, and that is what the toast should do.

But under the circumstances, perhaps levity should be avoided.

Only on the stage is the toast from Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado” amusing: “As one month you have to live/As fellow-citizen/This toast with three times three we’ll give:/ Long life to you, long life to you, long life to you ‘til then!”

think that was strictly a no-no, but am wondering if that is now considered appropriate.

I sometimes argue with my son over this, but it is hard to persuade him it is not correct behavior when we see it all the time on TV and in the movies. Please tell me it is still considered rude!

GENTLE READER: Not only that, but Miss Manners considers it foolhardy to allow your son to think, much less argue, that television is the place to observe model behavior.

tives and friends.

By roughly equivalent, Miss Manners is not referring to immediate reciprocation, nor to the monetary value. It merely means giving something of equal thoughtfulness when the occasion presents itself.

If you are not prepared to do this — and indeed, it can easily become burdensome — you owe it to your friend to tell her that much as you have appreciated her presents, you cannot keep accepting them and would prefer an agreement to acknowledge each other’s birthdays with good wishes.

more difficult as the children get older and become aware of us withholding these gifts.

I wouldn’t think of trying to tell people they should buy the children specific things, as of course gifts should never be expected, but I am at a loss of what to do. I worry that someday they will find out that we take the gifts away and be hurt.

DEAR GENTLE READER: Once your children have reached the age of awareness, you can’t reasonably take away presents that they were witness to being given. It is, however, well within your parental DEAR MISS MANNERS: Am I rights to mandate where and how lacking in the manners department DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have the undesirables may be worn or if I do not always buy birthday gifts small children who are frequently played with (i.e., only behind closed for my friends? given gifts from family members, doors).

regards to his sisters and their families. They and their offspring tend to be constantly involved in some sort of drama, i.e., multiple husbands/boyfriends who all turn out to be alcoholic/abusive; difficulty holding on to jobs and places to live; never having enough money to survive on ... the list goes on and on.

Even though they are always broke, they somehow have the money to go shopping, gamble, have brandnew phones and a steady supply of cigarettes and alcohol.

They are constantly begging us to send them money or let them move in with us! Every one of them dropped out of high school to have kids and still can’t understand why they are unable to find decent jobs.

My husband and I have worked very hard and we both have stable jobs. While we are by no means rich, we sacrifice so that we are able to save a little. We have simply been ignoring their texts, phone calls and messages for years, but they just don’t stop! It’s practically reached the point of harassment. How do we make them stop without coming off as horrible people?

GENTLE READER: They already think you are horrible people because you don’t support them, so Miss Manners suggests you stop having misgivings about ignoring them.

U

nrelenting headwinds didn’t keep Whitehorse cyclists from winning the majority of divisions in the 22nd annual Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay on Saturday.

Whitehorse teams topped seven of the race’s 11 divisions, including all four men’s divisions, in the 240-kilometre race from Haines Junction, Yukon, to Haines, Alaska. They also claimed 24 of 33 podium spots, not counting the coveted overall positions.

Whitehorse’s Jonah Clark was the day’s big winner. The 37-yearold outpaced 45 other solo men to place first in the division with a time of 7:31:56.

He also out-pedaled a pair of riders from two-man teams on the final straightaway to finish first overall out of a record 332 registered teams.

“How was it? It was really hard,” said Clark. “The first two legs were so windy and it was cold. The next bit wasn’t too bad actually, but it was pretty much a wind story. If you look at our finish time … it means it was pretty

Solo men’s cyclist Jonah Clark is congratulated by his dog after taking first overall in the 240-kilometre race.

windy.”

Saturday’s win was Clark’s third for solo men and his fifth time going it alone in the “Haines-to-Haines” event.

Clark was on a two-person men’s team that finished the race first overall last year with a time of 5:57:21, less than two minutes from the course record. Last year’s

wind situation was the opposite, with tailwinds helping out as numerous division records were set.

“My fastest and slowest finish

times have a two-hour difference and it pretty much boils down to wind,” said Clark, a former Yukon mountain bike champ and Tour de Whitehorse winner.

“My goal this year was to manage my food and water properly because the other four times I’ve done it, even when I did win, I had a pretty big meltdown midway through the race where I had to slow right down and drink lots and eat lots. This year I tried to make sure that never happened and it didn’t, so I was pretty excited about that.”

Whitehorse riders occupied the next two spots in solo men with Ian Parker and Lee Hawkings crossing the line second and third for the division.

Parker, who finished in 7:48:32, was with the lead group until the summit before Haines.

“I was there with three bigger guys, I was in my biggest gear spinning at 120 RPM, and I could not stay on their wheels,” said Parker. “The guys just rode away from me.

“That is one of the worst feelings in cycling, to watch three guys ride away from you into a headwind.”

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2014 Parker placed second for solo men in 2011 and won the inaugural Tour de Skagway last month.

Haines, Alaska’s Jennifer Walsh made it two in a row, defending her solo women title from last year. Walsh, who set the solo women’s record of 6:58:11 last year, came in at 8:53:01 this year.

Whitehorse’s Erika Joubert placed second at 10:22:42 and fellow Whitehorse rider Susan Antpoehler placed fourth at 10:23:13.

Pushing Clark right till the end were cyclists Thane Phillips and Aaron Foos, both on two-person men’s teams from Whitehorse.

Phillips crossed the finish at 7:32:00 – just four seconds behind Clark – to place second overall and win the two-person men’s division with Derek Crowe.

Saturday was Phillips and Crowe’s third year in a row of racing together, but their first time winning.

“We all came in together – Jonah, myself and Aaron came in together to the last steep uphill all together, and Jonah was just stronger than me and pulled it over the top,” said Phillips. “I kept trying to catch up, but it did not happen.”

Foos and race partner Stephen Ball, who won the solo men’s division in 2011, placed third overall and second in the two-man division at 7:32:21. A team from Juneau claimed third.

Headwinds don’t bother Crowe much. They evened the playing field, he said.

“It was pretty adverse at the start for me,” said Crowe. “That kind of works to my advantage. I kind of like it when there’s worse weather or worse wind because it takes the top speed off some of these fast guys, which I have a hard time holding (otherwise).

I’m pretty hardy.”

A rider on the winning twoperson mixed team had more than just a pain in his legs during the race.

Jean-Paul Molgat, who won the division with wife Laura Salmon, was involved in a three-bike crash on Leg 2. He had red scrapes on his face as he welcomed Salmon at the finish line.

“There were three of us and two of us were able to keep riding, but Jerome McIntyre wasn’t able to,” said Molgat. “He might have broken his finger. I feel really bad for him.

“A friend of mine was there and he had an extra wheel and some tools and he fixed my bike up and I, maybe foolishly, kept going. It’s bitter-sweet because I know Jerome would have done really well.”

The Whitehorse couple finished the race in 8:40:06 for their first two-person win.

“It’s been a few years, but we did it two or three times back when the girls were small,” said Salmon, referring to their daughters. “I think we even had one bike at one point. We shared and had to adjust the seat at the halfway mark.”

“We always miss the podium by one or two,” added Molgat.

Whitehorse’s Mathieu Chenard and Bernadette Roy took second

at 8:53:26, ahead of a Juneau team.

Whitehorse teams were particularly dominant in the fourperson divisions that increased from 102 teams last year to 129 on Saturday.

Not only did Whitehorse teams take the podium spots in all three divisions, they also occupied nine of the top 10 spots in four-person men’s, 11 of the top 12 in fourperson women’s and 15 of the top 17 in the four-person mixed.

The Whitehorse team of Ray Sabo, Knute Johnsgaard, Sam Lindsay and Colin Abbott took first in four-person men’s with a time of 7:45:32.

Sabo, Lindsey and Johnsgaard were on the winning four-person men’s team last year as well.

“Yeah, it was windy,” said Johnsgaard. “The last three times I’ve done Legs 7 and 8 and it seems those legs are always windy.

“Our goal was to win the whole thing but it’s kind of hard when we start separately from the two- and one-man teams. There’s usually a big pack to ride with and this time, by Colin’s leg, we were riding by ourselves.”

Tamara Goeppel, April Mazzuca, Monika Melnychuk and Sierra van der Meer teamed up to win the four-person women’s division with a time of 8:30:09.

They placed fifth overall out of all four-person teams.

“We’ve ridden with each other on different teams but never as a four(-person) team,” said van der Meer. “We’ve been doing two-person teams for a number of years and we’ve talked about putting in a four-person girls team. Then (Whitehorse bike shop) Icycle Sport told us they would sponsor us, and we thought it sounded good because we got free gear.”

Whitehorse’s Kyle Power, Michael Abbott, Vesta Mather and Kendra Murray powered to

seventh out of four-person teams and first in four-person mixed at 8:36:22.

“It’s the first of maybe a few more,” said Michael. “I guess we’re pretty happy. We didn’t come in with many expectations.

“Kendra and I have done quite a few before and this was one of the ones where the wind was right from the get-go. Everyone had to deal with it. Most of us got to ride with other people and that really helped.”

The eight-person mixed division – the largest in the event with 76 teams – had a fitting winner.

Thom Ely, owner of Sockeye Cycle in Skagway, founded the Kluane Chilkat race 22 years ago

and hasn’t missed one yet. He and his Sockeye Cyclists team took first with a time of 9:21:22.

He founded the race “because the Haines highway is such a beautiful ride,” he said. “The Klondike Road Race – the running race – had been going on for 10 or 12 years or so, so I thought we should have a bike race on the Haines road.

“We got the race going and that year we had a 163 competitors and now we’re at 1,300.”

Whitehorse’s Big Bad Bruins, captained by Justin Quigley, placed second, and Whitehorse’s Mega Hurtz, captained by Julianna Scramstad, came third.

Whitehorse teams grabbed five out of the top six spots in

eight-person women, but not the top one.

All three eight-person men’s teams were from Whitehorse and only two finished.

Juneau’s Kathy Tide and Melanie White took first in twoperson women. Whitehorse’s Christine Paradis and Magaret Mundell took second with a time of 11:12:18.

“I’d like to thank my dad (Stuart) who did support for me,” added Clark. “He did a great job.

And I’d like to thank the organizers for putting this on every year.

It’s an awesome event and it’s a real pleasure to come out and do it every year.”

“He made it through just fine.

He was steady and very happy to be participating and showed no signs of emotional distress while he was working through it.”

Before the rare disease took hold, constricting vascular veins that carry oxygen from the lungs to the organs, Ciprani was competitive in volleyball and soccer, enjoyed cycling, tennis, canoeing and kayaking, and also competed at the provincial level in gymnastics.

“I had always been an athlete.

I was cycling and always doing my normal activities, and I was constantly winded,” said Ciprani, a native of B.C. who moved to Yukon eight years ago. “I found I couldn’t go upstairs any more.

Ciprani, who spent eight years as an oxygen patient, continued to work as a hairdresser for six years after his diagnosis.

Shortly after being given a month to live, he was returning from an appointment with his

doctor in Vancouver when he got a flat tire in Watson Lake. During the dismal situation Ciprani, who had only just been placed on the transplant list, received the most important phone call of his life.

Doctors had found a donor.

A plane from Whitehorse was quickly dispatched, picking up Ciprani in Watson Lake and transporting him to Vancouver for the operation.

“They don’t normally want you to live in the Yukon when you’re on the list, you have to live closer to the transplant clinic because the organs have to be transplanted within three hours of harvesting,” said Ciprani. “I think I’m pretty much one of the first flown out of the Yukon – not just Watson lake – to have had this lung transplant.”

Just days after the relay, Ciprani has a lot more planned.

He is preparing to compete at the Canadian Transplant Games next month in Moncton, New Brunswick.

He is also making arrangements to assemble an entire team of “transplantees” for next year’s Kluane Chilkat.

“I’m definitely going to be competing in this relay race from now on, for the rest of my life,” said Ciprani.

New division A champs crowned at Dustball Tom Patrick

A

pair of multi-year win streaks came to an end as new champs emerged across the board in A divisions of the Dustball Invitational Slo-Pitch Tournament on Sunday.

Whitehorse’s P&M Recycling Guns, who were going for their fifth straight men’s A title, lost in the final at the Pepsi Softball Centre. Whitehorse’s P&M Recycled Sistas, who won the women’s A division the last six years, finished third.

All three winning teams were playing in the A division for the first time.

“At least we lost in a good game. We didn’t go out and beat ourselves, throw the ball around, hit pop-flies all over the place,” said Guns captain and first baseman Mike Tuton.

“We played a good hitting team.

It was a slugfest, eight innings deep, and we came up short.”

P&M Recycling Guns were denied a fifth straight title in an eight-inning, 24-20 loss to Chico’s Bail Bonds, a mixed Juneau-Skagway team, in the final.

The Guns scored eight runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a 19-16 lead before Chico’s logged three to tie in the top of the seventh. With Guns on second and third with one out, Chico’s forced the extra inning with a double play.

“It was a crazy game, one of the craziest I’ve ever been a part of,” said Chico’s captain Mark Jennings. “Those guys can really hit the ball, hit it wherever they want. I guess we just caught them on an off-day.”

With runners on base, Chico’s knocked three straight line drives from Adam Smith, Jamie Kissner and Jaymar Hill to secure five runs and establish a 24-19 lead at the top of the eighth. A fielding error allowed the Guns a run in the bottom of the inning before Chico’s rightfielder Robert Murphy caught a deep shot from Rob Larose to end the game.

“We just lost a good ball game,” said Tuton. “I don’t take anything away from those guys, they hit the ball hard. In the later innings, when they had to take advantage of their guys on base, they did.”

Chico’s defeated Whitehorse’s Black Sox in the semifinal, dealing the Sox a third place finish.

The weekend marked the first time Chico’s competed in the men’s A division, said Jennings.

“We usually bring up a men’s team every year … We try to get the best guys in Skagway to come up, but we usually play (divisions) B and C,” said Jennings. “We decided to pump it up a little bit, get a little more talent in Juneau and compete in A and go for it because a lot of us are getting older. We had to make a run now.”

Chico’s upset the Guns 24-20.

Dave’s Crew cleans up in co-ed Dave’s Cleaning Crew captain James Semaschuk came through when his team needed him the most.

Down 7-6 at the bottom of the seventh with runners in scoring position, Semaschuk sent the ball screaming into right field, driving home Myrna Ingram and Kristian King for the win.

With the hit the Whitehorse team defeated Devil’s Hideaway of Juneau 8-7 in the co-ed A division final.

“I couldn’t have done it without the people who hit before me, that was the main thing,” said Semaschuk. “I can’t score runs if there’s no one on base.

“The team knows its role: we have the producers and we also have individuals who get on base regularly.”

The Crew, who were playing in their first Dustball, went undefeated over the weekend. They also won the Whitehorse league’s opening tournament as well.

“It was just a fresh start for all of us because we were all looking for new teams and we just put a fresh new team together,” said Semaschuk. “We’re all friends and close friends, which makes the team dynamic even better.

Dave’s Cleaning is a force to be reckoned with, for sure.”

Devil’s Hideaway scored two in the fourth and one in the sixth to take a 7-5 lead. The Crew pulled within one on an RBI from Brian White in the bottom of the sixth.

Dave’s Cleaning defeated Devil’s by a run in Saturday’s semifinal. Devil’s Hideaway then defeated third place’s Ryder Construction, also of Juneau, to reach the final.

“We lost to this team by one yesterday, so this was our redemption game, and it ended in the same situation,” said Devil’s captain A.J. Votion.

“There’s no shame, but it still sucks,” he added. “Juneau hasn’t brought a good upper-division team in a while. We were really confident going into this be-

cause we had some really good girls, they carried us the whole weekend.

“It was a fun weekend. We’ll stay around for another night or two, party it up, and enjoy the town.”

Pitches Be Crazy top women’s A It took a while for Pitches Be Crazy’s bats to start working in the women’s A division final.

Their dugout was just a little too quiet, says coach/captain Crystelle Cebuliak.

“More noise” is what the team needed, she said. “The louder we are, the better we play.”

The mixed Whitehorse-Juneau team grabbed the women’s A title with a 9-6 win over the Whitehorse’s Fountain Tire Mudders.

The Pitches Be Crazy team, assembled for the international tournament, went undefeated over the weekend en route to the title.

“It feels great, it feels great to have a new winner up here in women’s A,” said Cebuliak, referring the six-time defending champs P&M Recycled Sistas placing third.

Down 5-3 at the bottom of the fourth, the Pitches put their aluminum to work to score four runs. With two runners on, shortstop Taylor Larson drove one off the right field wall – right on the foul line – to score a pair of runs. Teammate Meghan Stonehouse then chopped one over the infield for another before Andrea Livette grounded through the gap to make it 7-5.

Dee Swanley Boster added another run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.

At their last at-bat in the seventh, Mudders’ Naomi Smith drove in Heidi Harry on a sac fly.

“I was really happy with how the girls played on the Mudders,” said Mudders coach Roni-Sue Sparvier. “We had a solid game, we were great on the field, we were great at batting, we played a good game. (Pitches Be Crazy) is an awesome team and it wasn’t

bad to lose to them.”

“Last year when we first put in a ladies team we came in third in A division, this year we came in second, next year it’s going to be first,” added Sparvier.
