he front steps of the Yukon courthouse were buzzing with activity Thursday afternoon as chiefs, officials, members of the public and reporters took in the aftermath of this week’s trial over the fate of the Peel watershed.

Two courtrooms were packed with spectators this week as lawyers argued the limits of Yukon government’s power to decide how much industrial activity will be allowed in the 68,000 square kilometre tract of wilderness in northern Yukon.

The first room filled with elders and chiefs from Dawson City, Mayo and the Gwich’in communities of N.W.T.’s Mackenzie Delta, as well as bureaucrats and reporters.

Others watched by live feed from a second courtroom, where seats were filled both in front and behind the bench.

The decision is now in the hands of Yukon Supreme Court Justice Ron Veale. He hasn’t indicated when he will deliver a judgement, and onlookers don’t expect to see one until at least September.

Tr’ondek Hwech’in Chief Eddie Taylor said he was overwhelmed by the public interest in the case.

“When we first started out on this process of protecting the Peel watershed, the land use process, never ever did we envision the public support, the overall support that has been shown throughout the last number of years.”

He was pleased in particular to see the faces of so many elders, who travelled from as far away as Inuvik for the proceedings.

“I know you all believe in this cause, and I know you all love that land out there,” said Taylor. “And that’s why we’re here standing up for our rights and your rights.”

That sentiment was echoed

by Jimmy Johnny, an elder with the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun. “They more than anybody know the importance of that land and the waters that run through that land,” said Johnny.

He still believes that the Peel should be 100 per cent protected from development, as First Nations have advocated through the planning process, he said.

“I call it my home, because Peel River watershed has taught me a lot about that country. I’ve learned a lot about how to survive and respect that country. I try to

keep it clean.”

Just two or three years ago he was doing a caribou survey in the area only to find that some prospectors had left a mess for others to clean up, he said.

“Son of a gun, to my surprise, there was a lot of fuel barrels right in the middle of Bonnet Plume Lake. Just sitting there,” said Johnny.

“You never know what they’re going to do. That’s what bothers me.”

Dave Loeks, former chair of the Peel planning commission, also sat through much of this week’s proceedings.

He said it was rewarding on a personal level to hear Thomas Berger, who represented the plaintiffs in the case, defend the integrity of the commission in light of criticisms brought forward by the government’s lawyer.

John Hunter, counsel for the Yukon government, said that the commission refused to make tough decision and called its plan a “non-planning plan.”

That’s just not true, said Loeks.

The commission “agonized” over how to deal with existing claims, over how access might be granted to the Crest iron deposit in the far reaches of the watershed, he said.

“The commission made some very, very difficult decisions. And I would turn that statement on its head that it’s the government that failed to make difficult decisions in that from year one through year seven they failed to say anything of substance to us.

“By the time the commission has been active for six years and it’s finally getting down to write the recommended plan, we should have a really, really clear understanding of what the bottomline issues are for all of the

parties.

“You can’t expect a public body like a planning commission to be tea leaf readers and wonder what’s on their mind.

We assume that they’re going to tell us what’s important to them. And they didn’t.

“They were at the table but they weren’t advising us. That’s bad faith and it’s unfair.”

Tim Gerberding, implementation director with Tr’ondek Hwech’in, had similar comments.

He was a part of the senior liaison committee, a group of high-level officials from First Nations and government charged with monitoring the planning process.

Their job was to “keep the wheels turning,” he said.

“It became clear shortly after the final recommended plan was delivered that the wheels were not turning smoothly.”

In the last couple of years of the process, the committee was pushing its Yukon government representatives to come clean on its position, he said.

“We said look, you know, you’ve got to show us your hand. Where are you coming from? What do you want to see? There’s too much vagueness and generality here. You need to come out of the weeds and show us where you’re coming from here.”

By the time Yukon government introduced its own plans for the Peel, “the sense of collaboration had vanished” between government and First Nations, said Gerberding.

“It was very clear that the government of Yukon was going its own separate way, come hell or high water, heedless of whatever the First Nations might think or propose.”

Yukoners have told us how important water is—for the environment, for people and for the economy.

In response, we’ve developed the YUKON WATER STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN. It’s a plan with six priorities for maintaining the quality, quantity and health of Yukon water for both nature and people.

Sex Hot – Get Consent’ campaign on our festival and believe that this positive message and important dialogue contributed to another incident-free weekend in 2013,� she said. “Consistent, ongoing messaging of this sort – clearly communicating that a healthy, safe, sex-positive culture is infinitely better that one of violence – is what will bring healthy relationships and safe communities.�

High-profile band Staind was in the spotlight last year for stopping a Kansas City show midway after a band member witnessed a woman being molested by men in the audience.

The issue isn’t reserved to fans, however, as Australian singer Iggy Azalea revealed she quit crowd surfing because she was being sexually assaulted by her own audience.

Harvey said volunteers in Atlin and Dawson will be going into the crowd and handing out resources – but it’s not their policy to give women tips for protecting themselves. “Our policy is to say that it’s up to men to stop rape,� she said. “We don’t want to put responsibility on women to prevent their rape. If a rape does occur (society typically) will question and examine what a woman did to protect herself and if it’s judged she didn’t protect herself, she gets the blame. That’s victim blaming and the responsibility needs to be placed on the person committing the act of violence.�

As part of the campaign, Les EssentiElles will also organize a draw with prizes from Adult Temptations.

People can enter the draw at their booth by giving their best “consent line.�

Salmon subcommittee speaks to challenging times Sam Riches News Reporter

O

n Thursday afternoon at the Whitehorse Fish Ladder, Dennis Zimmerman, executive director of the Yukon Salmon Sub-Committee, addressed managing the north’s dwindling chinook salmon population.

Zimmerman called it an unprecedented time in history. “This is whole new regime with salmon management in the Yukon,� he said.

This year salmon numbers were expected to reach a historic low, and while they have improved – it is now estimated 120,000 chinook salmon will make the journey up the Yukon River – they are still dangerously low. In 1982, the salmon run peaked at around 300,000 fish. “With chinook salmon, we’re unfortunately at a point that we have to manage them very tightly, because there’s not that many of them left.�

Each year, the chinook salmon embark on the longest freshwater salmon migration in the world.

They enter from the Bering Sea into Alaskan waterways and make their way to the spawning grounds on the border of B.C. and Yukon, traveling more than 3,000 kilometres. Along the way, they pass through communities that rely on them for food.

This year for the first time ever, Alaska instituted a ban against targeted fishing of chinook salmon.

Under treaty the Americans are required to allow 42,500 chinook to pass safely into Canadian waters. That goal has not been met in five of the last seven

Dennis Zimmerman, executive director of the Yukon salmon sub-committee at the fish ladder in Whitehorse yesterday.

years. “Alaska has a responsibility to get a certain number of fish to the border escapement, then Canada has a responsibility to get a certain number to the spawning grounds,� said Zimmerman.

Anything above that, Alaska and Canada can harvest and share those fish.

The targeted ban appears to have worked, for now, but not without coming at a cost. “Taking away those rights, those subsistence rights is a very big deal and very difficult,� said Zimmerman. “A lot of these villages don’t have roads, they don’t have grocery stores, gas is six bucks a

gallon, it’s really expensive to live there, fishing is their right and if you take that away you cause a lot of hardship.�

Communities in the Yukon – like Teslin – have been voluntarily scaling back their fishing for about 10 years now and carrying the brunt of the conservation effort. The social and health impact on the communities is immense, said Zimmerman: “Generations losing fish camp culture, elders not being able to share practices with the youth, and losing all the nutrients out of their diets.�

Many First Nation communities, like the Tr’ondek Hwech’in and Selkirk First Nations, have resorted to flying non-native fish in.

Zimmerman said it’s a nervewracking and sombre time to be working in the industry – and that a solution isn’t imminent. “Nothing is going to happen overnight, it’s going to take a few lifecycles to get these fish back,� he said. “I think this year, everyone is on the same page. We have a commitment, a demonstrated commitment.�

Whitehorse RCMP say the 20-year-old came to Whitehorse General Hospital around 1:30 p.m. and told the staff there she had been involved in a hit and run.

She said she was struck by a car while crossing the street in the area of Strickland Street between First and Second Avenue.

She was treated for minor injuries and released from hospital.

Police are looking for a late model Honda Civic, possibly a 1993 or 1994 model, dark blue, four door, with a “RUSH� sticker on the back window.

If you witnessed this incident or know any information please contact Whitehorse RCMP at 667-5551.

Whitehorse loses a leader with passing of Don Knutson ‘He was just one of those stalwart members of our community. He will be so missed.’ Sam Riches News Reporter

D

on Knutson, a tireless volunteer and integral member of the Whitehorse community, died on Sunday. He was 78.

His death, at Whitehorse General Hospital, followed a brief illness and a heart attack.

Knutson was a recent recipient of a Yukon commissioner’s commendation for longtime service to the territory and for leading the Vimy Heritage Housing Society, which is working to build supportive housing for seniors.

Knutson also served for more than 30 years at the Whitehorse Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, including six terms as president. He was awarded a life membership in 1993 and the meritorious service medal in 2000.

David Laxton, Yukon’s Speaker of the legislative assembly, called Knutson his best friend.

They met when Laxton moved to the territory in 1998. “He was a very kind, very

easy-going guy,� Laxton said. “He cared about people, cared about the community and people at large within the community. He never stopped – he never stopped giving.�

With the support of his wife, Margaret, Knutson was behind many community initiatives in Whitehorse.

He worked at Mount Sima the year it opened, and also managed the waterfront trolley in its first year. He was also the first manager of the Vimy Heritage Housing Society.

His leadership at the society “will remain in our hearts,� said board member Bev Buckway. “He was the driving force behind this project. I never saw him get flustered, never saw him get mad. He was always very calm, always very fair. He was just one of those stalwart members of our community. He will be so missed.�

Darcy Grossinger, current president of the Whitehorse Legion, described Knutson in a letter to legion members as a dedicated president who led by example. “We were in safe hands under Don’s leadership,� he Ian Stewart/Yukon News Don Knutson, a well-known community leader, died this past wrote. “He genuinely cared weekend in Whitehorse. about his community and

those in it.�

Knutson was also a drummer in the Midnight Sun Pipe Band, who would often play on Canada Day in Whitehorse and would travel to Skagway for Fourth of July celebrations. The band also made a few trips to Edinburgh, Scotland.

After a 40-year career at NorthwesTel, Knutson didn’t slow down in retirement. “He transferred his work life to his volunteer life but he always seemed to have time for people and kept in touch,� said Buckway. “When you have someone who has contributed so much and still had so many years to go it just seems so tragic.�

Laxton saw Knutson last Friday afternoon, as the two watched World Cup soccer. “He was looking good and in fine spirits and we were having a good laugh,� Laxton said. “It was quite the shock.� “He just cared and he wanted to participate and be part of the community and give back to it. He did a lot and never asked for anything. The community is really going to miss him.�

No end in sight to Peel mess Yukon’s land-claim agreements were not designed to take this kind of abuse

A

t the risk of being a killjoy, it’s probably important to note that the Peel trial is unlikely to resolve anything of substance. Not this week’s trial, anyhow. Regardless of how Justice Ron Veale rules, the decision looks bound to be appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada, which ought to prolong this long-running political disaster for at least another few years yet.

The betting odds are not in the Yukon government’s favour. First Nations usually win resource battles when they hit the courts, and it’s hard to see why the Peel case, which concerns the land-use plan for a great swath of northeast Yukon that’s the size of Vancouver Island, would be any different.

Maybe the Yukon government, as it insists, followed the letter of the Peel planning process. It still seems clear it violated its spirit.

Chiefs didn’t sign away their unextinguished aboriginal rights and engage in seven years of planning talks to be subjected to the kind of skullduggery seen at the final hour of the planning talks, when the Yukon government tore up the plan that was the culmination of negotiations and replace it with pretty much the opposite of what had been discussed, with the proportion of protected areas flipped on its head to allow mining in much of the watershed.

The appropriate moment for the government to spell out what it wanted in the Peel would have been at the beginning, rather than the end, of this long process. At the very least, the territory should have clearly explained it couldn’t stomach the commission’s conservation-heavy recommended plan, and provided a clear alternative.

Instead, the resources minister

of the day, Patrick Rouble, only issued a mealy-mouthed response that failed to clearly articulate what the government obviously wanted – namely, way more mining.

Rouble never had the courage to say as much aloud. Instead, he’d resort to euphemisms about “balance,” while never bothering to explain what proportion of protected areas would be reasonable, or to point out which plum areas for mining should remain open for development. It would fall on Rouble’s successor, following the territorial election, to explain all this, once the planning commission completed its work.

The government’s lawyer, John Hunter, now asserts that the planning commission failed to make tough decisions. That’s a bit rich.

It is the Yukon government, we should remember, that spent the planning process and the following territorial election assuring the public that it could develop a Peel plan that would be all things to all people. It was the planning commission that insisted that tough trade-offs were needed, as you can’t always please both wilderness paddlers and First Nation residents, who value the area’s untouched wilderness, along with miners, who seek to dig the place up in pursuit of shiny metal. So which side was the one being, in Hunter’s words, facile and specious?

Now Veale and future judges who will rule on the case are saddled with the tough job of finding a solution.

First Nations want the courts to impose the planning commission’s final recommended plan.

But a judge would need to dance around the bit in the Umbrella Final Agreement that says that Publisher

the Yukon government, at the end of the day, has final say over the plan as it applies to Crown land – which, in the Peel, is nearly the whole region. So the courts may have to choose between defending the spirit of agreements and violating the letter, or vice versa.

Thomas Berger, the renowned aboriginal rights lawyer representing the plaintiffs, has proposed one way out of this tangle: the courts could send the parties back a few steps, to when the final recommended plan was supposed to undergo a public review.

Berger reasons that the territory gave up its right to substantially modify the plan when it held its tongue earlier, so the government in this scenario would be unable to make any big changes to the recommended plan, but it could still tinker around the edges.

That’s really just a fancy way of tying the territory’s hands. But without doing so, what assurances would First Nations have that the government would behave any better the next time around? Of course, by the time such an op-

tion is pursued, we may well have a different government in power, which could solve a whole lot.

Maybe the Yukon Party could have gotten off the hook by actually acknowledging it had rejected, rather than modified, the final recommendations. But that would have required admitting that nearly a decade of talks had been wasted, and that efforts at reconciling the historic grievances of First Nations currently face a big setback.

Which, of course, is the case.

But if the Yukon Party has shown a pattern of behaviour, it’s to ignore problems and pretend that everything is hunky dory. Ad-

mitting failure would have been uncharacteristically honest.

It seems clear that Yukon’s land claims agreements, written under the perhaps naive assumption that governments would engage in good-faith bargaining, were not designed to take this kind of abuse.

Until some faraway resolution is reached, the territory has accomplished precisely the opposite effect it had intended: no miner in his right mind will sink serious money into developing a property in the Peel, given the legal uncertainty that hangs over the entire region. Well done, sirs.

P

No simple fix to affordable housing shortage I have been reading most of the articles regarding the Northern Housing Trust screw-up. In Wednesday’s Yukon News, I read Mr. Antonio Zedda’s comment and was struck by one of his statements. It appears that he has played right into the hand of the realtors and landlords.

His statement shows exactly what they have been saying all along.

Zedda’s statement pretty much confirms the intention of the developer of the proposed “affordable housing” projects. He states that “we wanted to do something that provided small, affordable units that would be geared to the demographic that were my employees,” whether or not those employees earned $33,000 a year ($795/month rent would be 30 per cent of that gross income), or $82,345 a year (Whitehorse median household income in 2010 which would result in the $795/month rent being less than 12 per cent of their income). Definitely no guarantee that the units on that project would have ever housed a person whom the housing trust fund was meant to benefit.

By Zedda’s statement, it can be assumed that he had no concern for the people who really need “affordable housing,” but only to look after his own interests.

How many of the other units built by developers would go to the cream of the crop tenants such as employees, family and friends?

They would be looking for the ones who would guarantee that the rental units would be kept in prime condition so that after the 10-year period was up they could sell the

underlines the importance of tourism, business travel and itinerant government officials to our economy.

Another busted myth is that most people have full-time jobs. Onethird of workers are part-time or casual.

Mining has one of the highest ratios of full-time work, with almost 70 per cent of miners clocking in full work weeks (that doesn’t count mine owners working in their own businesses).

Educational services, which includes training and tutoring, is at the other end of the spectrum. Less than 10 per cent of the workforce is employees with full-time jobs, while over 60 per cent are owners working in their own outfits. Hotels and restaurants have about 50 per cent full-time employees.

As befits Whitehorse’s traditional position as the entrepot of the upper Yukon, 77 per cent of businesses reporting a Yukon office address are based in the capital. However, this still means that over 700 businesses are headquartered in other Yukon communities. Another 369 businesses are headquartered Outside, mostly in B.C. and Alberta.

The growing diversity of the Yukon’s entrepreneurs is also impressive, considering that in the gold rush photos most business-

people appeared to be white men.

Over one-third of sole proprietors are women, and over 40 per cent of business partners.

Over 200 citizens of Yukon First Nations are sole proprietors or partners in a business. The largest number of these are Champagne and Aishihik citizens, followed closely by Trondek Hwechin and Teslin Tlingit Council members. A few dozen businesses are also formally owned by First Nations or their development corporations.

Over 10 per cent of Yukon business export to Outside clients. Over 100 of the professional, scientific and technical services firms export, reinforcing the point made last year

by Stefan Voswinkel in his report on the growing number of knowledge industry workers in the Yukon. More than one quarter of arts and culture businesses also export, as well as significant numbers from industries one would expect such as mining, agriculture and trapping.

Small business is hard work and can be risky. While over 30 of Yukon home-based businesses report more than $1 million in annual revenue, half generate less than $50,000.

These may be recent start-ups, side occupations or part-time efforts by a parent staying at home with the kids.

Small businesses have bad years, and don’t have generous govern-

ment pension plans and health-care benefits.

Nonetheless, the Yukon’s entrepreneurs – both big and small – collectively make up a huge part of our economy. They represent important opportunities for talented and ambitious people who don’t fit into the typical boxes that government and corporate human resources departments use when screening resumes.

We should probably do more to celebrate the Yukon’s small business community. I was inspired when Karlo Krauzig of Yukon Shine Distillery went on national television to tout his product on Dragon’s Den. We should probably also do more to inspire the next generation of Yukon entrepreneurs. We have fantastic outdoor education programs in our high schools, plus lots of programs for elite athletes and talented musicians, but I’m not aware of a highschool entrepreneur club.

Of course, the kids who might start such a club are probably already in the Yukon Statistics Bureau report.

Privacy commissioner warns of the dangers of video surveillance Ashley Joannou News Reporter

T

he Yukon’s privacy commissioner has put out guidelines for government departments considering surveillance cameras.

Diane McLeod-McKay said she prepared the document after receiving multiple requests from departments asking about video surveillance policies they’re developing.

McLeod-McKay isn’t saying which departments have been asking for her help. But she says the privacy implications of video cameras are important to consider even before any equipment is installed.

“Is this benefit to be gained significantly more important than the rights to privacy? I think that all too often video surveillance is being used without that assessment,” she said.

The guidelines warn that just because cameras may be cheaper, that doesn’t mean that they’re always the right Alistair Maitland/Yukon News choice.

mation is possible if “that information relates to and is necessary for carrying out a program or activity of the public body.”

While the first two options are fairly simple to define, it’s that “necessary” question that could be the focus of an investigation if a Yukoner were to complain about surveillance cameras.

Privacy commissioners across the country have dealt with the issue of when cameras are “necessary,” McLeodMcKay said. Usually if there is a less invasive tool available it’s ruled the cameras didn’t meet that threshold.

“What we’re talking about here is a very privacy-invasive tool to collect personal information,” she said.

So far there haven’t been any investigations by the Yukon’s privacy commissioner that set a precedent for using surveillance cameras in the territory, McLeod-McKay said.

“If people have concerns that their personal information is being collected inappropriately by video surveillance, they can certainly come to my office and make a complaint,” she said.

Currently, the Department of Justice is in the process of installing new cameras in its main building on Second Avenue.

The building actually has two different functions, with the courts one side and the Department of Justice offices on the other.

Staff is in the process of replacing the out-of-date analogue cameras that have been in place since the building opened.

“For the department there are 71 cameras in place with a control room for them in the building,” spokesperson Dan Cable said.

“They have not been fully commissioned yet and we are in the process of completing a privacy impact assessment and doing policy and procedures for them but this is not yet complete.”

As for the side of the building with court, Cable said there are far fewer cameras there, since courtrooms and judges’ chambers take up most of the space.

Mansour, the Palestinian envoy, rejected Israel’s “audacious claims� that Palestinians are being used as human shields “while it knowingly and intentionally strikes at densely populated civilian areas.� The Palestinians also reject Israel’s claims to self-defence while “it deliberately carries out reprisals and collective punishment� for the killing of the three Israeli teenagers, which the Palestinian leadership has condemned, he said.

The Security Council has for years been deeply divided on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with the United States, which has veto power, strongly supporting Israel and the majority of members sympathetic to the Palestinians.

Mansour told the council it “cannot remain paralyzed and marginalized as Israeli war crimes continue.�

He demanded that members act to protect the Palestinian people, end the bloodshed, and hold Israel accountable “for its countless human rights violations and war crimes.�

triclocarban, which are used alone and together in products such as toothpaste, body washes, bar soap and even clothing.

Late last year the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it was reconsidering the safety of antibacterial soaps and other antibacterial personal care products because of concerns the chemicals may disrupt human hormones and contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.

And in May, Minnesota made headlines when it banned triclosan.

The report calls triclosan a chemical of high concern and triclocarban a chemical that should be replaced with safer alternatives.

Those rankings were based on an analysis the group conducted using a tool called the greenshield assessment.

It measures the chemicals’ impact against 18 human health and environ-

mental issues, such as whether there is evidence they cause reproductive toxicity, endocrine activity, eye irritation or skin sensitivity. It also looks at whether the chemicals are flammable and whether they accumulate in the environment.

Roughly 1,600 products containing triclosan are sold in Canada, with another 130 personal care products containing the antibacterial chemical regulated as drug products.

Two years ago the federal government released a preliminary report on triclosan. It concluded the chemical is not harmful to human health but in significant amounts can cause harm to the environment.

Peter Kent, who was then the federal environment minister, said at the time that the government would begin discussions with industry to encourage voluntary reductions of triclosan in products.

Acclaimed drummer to lead Whitehorse music camp Being legally blind is no obstacle to Karl Schwonick keeping the beat.

Myles Dolphin News Reporter

G

rowing up in the heart of Alberta’s Bible Belt, it was mandatory for Karl Schwonick to take part in his tiny school’s band program as a child.

With an inclination towards percussion instruments, he quickly discovered a passion for the drums and began developing his talent – one that would ultimately lead to performances on some of the world’s most prestigious stages such as Carnegie Hall and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.

The award-winning musician is coming back to Whitehorse this summer as one of 14 professional musicians and music educators sharing their knowledge at this year’s Yukon Summer Music Camp, held from July 28 to Aug. 2.

The accomplished 29-year-old said he loves coming here because of the flexibility involved with the structure of the camp.

“We have a traditional model here in Alberta where the kids sign up, come to class from 9-5 every day and perform a concert on Friday,” he told the News in between classes he offers at the

can just give’er? Karl is a phenomenal person and great ambassador for drumming, and I can see stuff that I’m not normally exposed to.”

Being legally blind has never been an impediment for Schwonick, who initially started playing music on the violin in a household where everyone played an instrument. With the violin, it’s easy to make a different sound by moving your finger a millimetre, but it’s easier to bang out a sound on the drums, he said.

“A lot of music, with jazz especially, comes from an oral tradition where you’re expected to learn a lot by ear,” he said.

“You’re expected to listen closely and there isn’t always music written for the instrument.

In some ways that was great for me because I never had to be distracted by sheet music.”

Some obstacles, such as performing in a band and noticing cues to certain people, were harder adjustments for Schwonick but he said he’s learned to deal with the day-to-day hurdles.

Watching new Ebert documentary a ‘joyous’ experience for film critic’s wife Sadiya Ansari Canadian Press

TORONTO hen shooting began for Life Itself – a documentary based on film critic Roger Ebert’s 2011 memoir – no one imagined it would document his death.

Shortly after embarking on the project, Ebert learned his cancer had returned. He died just months later in April 2013.

His widow, Chaz Ebert, said screening a film that her husband was not able to see left her with mixed emotions.

“In the beginning it was painful to watch because it was still so (early) in the grieving process but now, I have to tell you, it’s joyous,” Chaz Ebert said in a recent phone interview from Chicago. “I loved spending two hours with Roger.”

Chaz said the pair granted Hoop Dreams filmmaker Steve James “full access,” including shooting in hospitals and rehabilitation centres when permitted.

“We felt that to honour Roger’s legacy, the best thing to do was to continue with the making of the film, not stop it,” she said.

The result is an intimate look at the final months of Ebert’s life, as well as a portrait of his rise as one of the most important film critics of his time. Life Itself weaves interviews with Chaz, former colleagues and filmmakers, with footage from his combative bouts with Gene Siskel in At the Movies and home videos showing his seldom-seen role as a family man.

Life Itself opens in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa on July 11, with Chaz Ebert set to attend the Toronto premiere.

In addition to chronicling

Ebert’s early career as a reporter, the film also delves into the critic’s personal life, including his support for Alcoholics Anonymous, which he described in a 2009 blog post as “the best thing that ever happened to me.”

“I came to love the program and the friends I was making through meetings, some of whom are close friends to this day,” he wrote on RogerEbert.com.

think that kept him going,” said Chaz Ebert.

The film also reveals how Ebert helped some of his famous friends. Director Martin Scorsese credits the Pulitzer Prize-winning reviewer with helping him emerge from a difficult period in the early ‘80s as his third marriage dissolved and his career stalled.

Scorsese, who also produced the film, said Ebert’s invitation to receive a tribute at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) was a turning point.

Ebert also helped bring TIFF to prominence. As an early supporter

and festival fixture, he was keen to see it grow.

“He actually said it became the most important festival after the Cannes festival,” said Chaz Ebert.

As publisher of Ebert Digital, Chaz Ebert looks forward to returning to TIFF this year with a team of reviewers, continuing to keep Roger Ebert’s legacy alive.

The Toronto fest runs from Sept.

4-14.

“Living your passion – that’s what Roger did,” she said. “He used to say that even if he wasn’t paid to be film critic, that’s what he would have been.”

a chip on their shoulders in Denver. “Personally, I try not to keep that in my mind because that kind of seems like a revenge factor and that’s not why we play the game,� said Bucktooth. “We’re going out there to represent our country, our communities and the future generations. I, personally, am not keeping that in the back of my mind about 2010. I’m just trying to go out and do what we can for 2014.�

Midfielder Jeff Shattler, from Edmonton, was part of the 2010 team and will play for the Iroquois in Denver even though he is Ojibwa. “Team Iroquois is all nations,� said Shattler. “Anyone of aboriginal descent, that’s basically how you can get on to Team Iroquois, it’s not just necessarily Iroquois.�

Although he does not have a Haudenosaunee passport, Shattler stands by his teammates saying of the 2010 dispute. “In the end, I think it was worth it. It’s a great honour to put the sweater on and play for your nation,� said Shattler. “I think it’s a great opportunity to show your skills and to be a part of something as big as that.

It’s just a great opportunity. I’m very humble.�

The Iroquois are expected to field a strong team, anchored by brothers Jeremy, Jerome, Lyle and Miles Thompson as well as cousin Ty Thompson.

Lyle and Miles Thompson were named the first-ever co-winners of the Tewaaraton Award this spring as the NCAA’s top male lacrosse players. They both broke the record for most points in a single NCAA Division I season and were the first

teammates in Division I history to have 100-point seasons, with Lyle racking up 128 points and Miles finishing with 119. Cousin Ty Thompson was their teammate on the Albany Great Danes. “They’re big parts of our team,� said Jamieson. “Obviously the year that they’ve had and how strong of players they are. “But we have a lot of strong players and we have enough depth that we don’t need to rely on one or two guys.�

Bucktooth agrees, saying the Thompsons bring an intangible element to the Iroquois nationals. “I think one of the biggest things that they’re bringing is chemistry,� said Bucktooth. “They’ve already played with each other their entire lives.�

Added Jamieson: “Nobody goes in expecting to lose. Hope-

The world field lacrosse championship has been historically dominated by the U.S., with the Americans taking nine of 11 titles in the quadrennial event since 1967, with Canada winning twice.

Canada’s championship hopes were dealt a blow on July 4 when veteran John Grant Jr.’s application for a therapeutic use exemption for hormone treatment was rejected.

Grant, from Peterborough, Ont., requires prescription medication after a life-threatening staph infection and several concussions sustained through his professional lacrosse career.

Jordan MacIntosh of Burlington, Ont., was named his replacement on the field, while Grant

LIFE Whitehorse muggle represents Canada at quidditch championship

Ashley Joannou News Reporter

W

hen you spend your time running across a field with a broom between your legs, it’s important you’re able to laugh at yourself.

The people who decide to play quidditch have probably heard all the jokes you’re going to come up with.

“Nobody’s too serious about it,” said Whitehorse’s Robyn Fortune.

Fortune, a fixture in Yukon athletics for years, has been named to Team Canada for the Global Games quidditch championship.

On July 19, Team Canada will compete in Burnaby, B.C. against six other teams. They’ll crown an international champion in this relatively young sport.

Competitors are coming from Australia, Belgium, France, Mexico, the U.K. and the U.S. For those unfamiliar with quidditch, the sport was born from the mind of J.K. Rowling in her wildly popular Harry Potter series.

Without the ability to fly, muggle (non-magical) quidditch is more like rugby meets basketball meets sprinting – on brooms.

The pitch is rectangular, usually a modified soccer field or other flat space, with three vertical hoops of varying heights at either end.

Fortune is a chaser, one of three on the field for her team at one time. The chasers’ job is to get the quaffle – a slightly deflated volleyball – though the hoops to score points.

Other players include the beaters, who throw semi-deflated dodgeballs at the chasers, forcing them out of commission for a time.

The keepers’ job is to defend the hoops. The seekers’ job is to catch the snitch.

Canada at the Canada Cup in 2011 and 2012. This year they placed third.

Try-outs for the national team happened earlier this year in Ontario and B.C. Fortune had already flown home to Whitehorse by then so she took the unusual step of applying through a video.

“There were a lot of drills you had to do and record yourself. Some timed sprints, some passing drills with another person. There was also a section where you had to include some McGill University Quidditch Team game play footage from your Robyn Fortune playing with her McGill University quidditch team in September 2013. school team.”

Lymphoma is one of the leading causes of feline death. The Tufts research showed that repeated exposure to smoke doubled a catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of getting the cancer and living with a smoker for more than five years increased the risk fourfold. It can also cause a fatal mouth cancer.

SUZUKI said World Bank Group president Jim Yong Kim in a news release, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to reduce emissions and deliver jobs and economic opportunity, while also cutting health care and energy costs.â&#x20AC;?

Take Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who recently said, agricultural areas.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making the same mistake â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter what they say, no country is going to take actions that are with climate change we made leading to the economic meltdown of going to deliberately destroy jobs 2008, according to Henry Paulson, and growth in their country.â&#x20AC;? who served as treasury secretary But in failing to act on global warming, many leaders are putting under George W.

and more energy efficient buildings and appliances.â&#x20AC;?

Contrast that with Harper and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent mutual back-patting in Ottawa. Appearing oblivious to the reality of global warming and economic principles, both rejected the idea of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;job-killing carbon tax.â&#x20AC;?

One Risky Business author, former Clinton treasury secretary Robert Rubin, also warned about the economic risks of relying on â&#x20AC;&#x153;stranded assetsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; resources that must stay in the ground if we are to avoid dangerous levels of climate change, including much of the bitumen in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tar sands.

In a commentary in Nature, a multidisciplinary group of economists, scientists and other experts called for a moratorium on all oil sands expansion and transportation projects such as pipelines because of what they described in a news release as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;failure to adequately address carbon emissions or the cumulative effect of multiple projects.â&#x20AC;? They want â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada and the United States to develop a joint North American road map for energy development that recognizes the true social and environmental costs of infrastructure projects as well as account for national and international commitments to reduce carbon emissions.â&#x20AC;?

Those who fear or reject change are running out of excuses as humanity runs out of time. Pitting the natural environment against the human-invented economy and placing higher value on the latter is foolish. These reports show itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to consign that false dichotomy to the same dustbin as other debunked and discredited rubbish spread by those who profit from sowing doubt and confusion about global warming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Climate inaction inflicts costs that escalate every day,â&#x20AC;? World Bank Group vice-president Rachel Kyte said, adding its study â&#x20AC;&#x153;makes the case for actions that save lives, create jobs, grow economies and, at the same time, slow the rate of climate change. We place ourselves and our children at peril if we ignore these opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

If our leaders canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comprehend that, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s find some who can.

Alaska rivers flow through mountain range

by Ned Rozell

ALASKA

SCIENCE

A

laska’s landscape has an unusual feature that allows us to enjoy cheap bananas in the Interior and other things that make life possible in the subarctic.

The Nenana River, born on the south side of the Alaska Range, makes a u-turn and flows north through the mountains. With it comes a wide, low corridor that has favored construction of both the Alaska Railroad and the Parks Highway.

“Ordinarily, a mountain range is a pretty good barrier,” said Don Triplehorn, a man curious about many things and a professor emeritus at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

He described the curious behavior of the Nenana.

“It flows out to the south, downhill as any decent river should, but then it turns west and then north, past McKinley,” Triplehorn said “That’s really unusual.”

And the Nenana River isn’t the only major waterway cutting through the Alaska Range.

The Delta River does the same thing, originating south of the Alaska Range but then flowing north through the mountains.

“These are rivers that cut across one of the highest mountain ranges in the world,” Triplehorn said. “The broad, low passes that come with them are convenient routes for highways, pipelines and microwave stations, as well as people, plants, and animals.”

Why do these two major rivers seem to defy logic by running through the Alaska Range? Triplehorn put forth a theory suggested by his friend and geologist Tom Hamilton of Anchorage – that glacial ice flowing northward across the range scoured the broad, almost flat valleys through which the rivers flow.

The Alaska Range rose about 6 million years ago, Triplehorn said. During the last 2 million years or so, Earth went through a major ice age, and the Alaska Range south of Fairbanks looked something like the Greenland ice cap.

Since moisture came from the south then as it often does now, the high point of the ice shifted southward. Ice could then flow away from the high

The Nenana River flows northward, though the Alaska Range, when it seems it should flow south.

point, and in a few instances it flowed northward, scouring valleys across the buried mountains. As the glaciers receded, meltwater streams that were to become the Nenana and Delta flowed northward down the valleys, maintaining their paths after the ice sheet disappeared.

There are differing theories of why the rivers cut through the Alaska Range, but textbook concepts on why rivers run through mountain ranges don’t explain the courses of the Nenana and Delta rivers, Triplehorn said.

Whatever the reason for the Delta and the Nenana, life here would be different without them. Without the passes, Fairbanks probably wouldn’t exist, Triplehorn said, because

human settlement north of the Alaska Range probably would have been on the Yukon River and its major tributaries.

And, we need no tunnels to

cross the Alaska Range, like the thousands who pass through Colorado’s Eisenhower Tunnel that accommodates interstate route 70 at 11,000 feet. Our expansive passes through the Alaska Range have for thousands of years allowed the easy movement of people, animals, oil, and trucks carrying bananas.

“It’s a good example of how geography and geology create history,” Triplehorn said.

It will be more problematic at family dinners with young children where the pictures on the plates will then be upside down.

MANNERS

Presumably this would help them understand that maybe they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be similarly stalked.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have recently suffered a severe head trauma. Thankfully, I seem to have recovered in most ways.

Unfortunately, I have small holes in my memory. I do not want to hurt old friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and acquaintancesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feelings by ignoring them, but I seem to have forgotten some of their faces, even though I remember who they are.

My high school has a newsletter that gives people updates on how everyone is doing. I was wondering how to write in to warn people, to prevent hurt feelings without seeming maudlin or self-pitying.

GENTLE READER: Depending on when you were graduated, you may find that everyone is claiming memory problems, even when stuck on trivial matters that no one ever does remember. Miss Manners has observed even young adults smacking their heads in frustration and tastelessly claiming to have Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember who played a

minor role in a film they saw years ago.

So she predicts that your classmates will be grateful if you write a cheerful note to the newsletter saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have name tags when we get together. My memory isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what it used to be.â&#x20AC;?

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Good friends of ours have two adult children. One recently married in a family-only ceremony with only six people in attendance. The other child is having a lavish affair at a country club, which we will attend.

We plan on giving checks as gifts. Do we give the same amount to both, even though one is inviting us to the affair while the other chose a private ceremony?

GENTLE READER: Are you under the impression that wedding presents constitute payment for entertainment?

Apparently, many people are.

“That’s why I’m going 53 at PanAms next week, because I won’t get to see those 53-kilogram people at worlds because I’ll be at 55.”

Laverdure went undefeated both days in Guelph. She steamrolled Liisa Wainman 10-0 and then clinched the spot at worlds with a 4-1 win over Brianne Barry.

She was set to face Barry a second time in the Canada Cup final but won by default when Barry forfeited the final to catch a flight to Hungary for the World University Championships.

The world championships in Uzbekistan will be Laverdure’s fourth in her career. She won a bronze at the 2008 world championships in Japan and also took

two fifth-place results at worlds in 2007 and 2012.

“They’re going to try to get us acclimatized in Dubai, and then we’ll fly from Dubai to Uzbekistan – but that’s still in the works,” said Laverdure.

Laverdure attempted to make Canada’s worlds team in the 32 kilo class during team trials at the start of May in Calgary, Alta. She placed second and was first-alternate for the team.

Laverdure returned to competition after eight months away following shoulder surgery to win gold in the 53-kilogram weight class at the 2014 Senior National Championships in March. It was her first national title since 2009 when she won in the 55-kilogram class.

Laverdure, who competes out of the Dinos Wrestling

Club in Calgary where she is a lawyer, is not the only Yukoner going to the Commonwealth Games.

Fellow Watson Laker Zach Bell is also on Canada’s roster for the quadrennial event. The two-time Olympian will compete at his third Commonwealth Games in both road and track cycling.

Bell won a bronze medal in the scratch race at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. He took in a fifth place finish at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia.

“I’ve done a couple training camps with the team that’s going, so I’ve been on (the track) but not tons,” Bell told the News in a recent interview. “Obviously I’ve been focusing on the road with my road team this year.”

Yukon shooters holding own at silhouette nationals Tom Patrick News Reporter

Y

ukon rifle shooters have pegged off a number of top finishes at the 2014 Canadian National Silhouette Championships, hosted by the Yukon Shooting Federation at the Whitehorse Rifle and Pistol Club this week.

Locals have collected some first-place finishes and even match wins in the three days of small-bore, .22-calibre, between Sunday and Tuesday.

Whitehorseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nicholas Rittel was on target a lot in the first half of the metallic silhouette shooting championship, a form of target shooting in which marksmen aim at metal cutouts of game animals.

Competing in master class â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the highest level of competition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 23-year-old hit 97 out of 120 to become the smallbore standard rifle national champion, registering two match wins over the three days. He also took first place in the hunting rifle class with another pair of match wins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; overall high scores out of every division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going good so far,â&#x20AC;? said Rittel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice weather â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a little bit of rain.â&#x20AC;?

On Monday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got 35 out of 40, which is my best score.â&#x20AC;?

Excelling at the championship isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything new for Rittel. He set two Canadian shooting records and won three divisions at the 2012 Canadian Rifle Silhouette Championships in Kamloops, B.C. He also pegged two seventh-place finishes en route to placing 10th overall out of about 100 shooters at the U.S.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 Silhouette National Championships in New Mexico.

Lindsay sisters swim to five medals at AAAs Tom Patrick News Reporter

A

quick look at the results and it’s easy to spot which stroke was getting results for sisters Cassis and Rennes Lindsay in Victoria.

The two Whitehorse Glacier Bears swimmers captured five medals, all in freestyle, at the Swim B.C. AAA Long Course Championship over the weekend.

“The freestyle is definitely my favourite stroke,” said Cassis.

“Backstroke is good, but I didn’t get any medals in it unfortunately.”

Cassis pocketed silver medals in the 50 and 100 free for girls 12-13.

She also placed eighth in the 200-metre backstroke, 10th in the 100-metre backstroke, 12th in the 200 free and 24th in the 100-metre butterfly.

“The first day I got off to a bit of a rocky start and didn’t do very good in my races,” said Cassis. “One was the 100 backstroke, which I potentially could have gotten a medal in, but I was just feeling off that day.

“The second day I got a silver medal, so I picked up my game a little.”

Rennes swam to bronze in the 800 free, 50 free and 100 free in the 11-and-under division.

She is currently ranked sixth in

the 200 free and 100 butterfly, and placed fifth in the 400-metre individual medley.

“They were really fun,” said Rennes. “At the last meet, the Kamloops Classic meet, I was trying really hard to focus on my technique. At this meet I could speed up a bit and still have some good technique.”

Rennes also twice amended the Glacier Bears record book.

She broke the long course club record in the 200 fly in the preliminaries with a time of 2:51.30 and then beat that time in the

final at 2:45.05, taking fourth.

She set two qualifying times in the 200 fly and 400 individual medley for the Canadian Age Group Swimming Championship, but needed a third to secure a spot at the nationals.

She missed a third in the 100 fly by 0.2 seconds.

Cassis has qualified for the age group nationals and will race the 50 and 100 free, and the 50, 100 and 200 backstroke later this month in Winnipeg.

“I’m looking forward to those a lot,” said Cassis. “In

Massie finished 12th in the 800 free, 12th in the 400 individual medley, 16th in the 100 back, 17th in the 200 back, 22nd in the 400 free, and 24th in the 200 medley.

PUZZLE PAGE

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.

FRIDAY 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.
