he RCMP has issued an arrest warrant for second degree murder following a stabbing death in Copper Ridge.

Police are warning the public that Michael Thomas MacPherson is considered armed and dangerous.

“The RCMP urges the public not to approach Mr. MacPherson or his vehicles, but to immediately call 911 or the RCMP complaint line,” the police said in a news release.

Investigators say he could be heading for British Columbia or Saskatchewan.

The arrest warrant is in connection to the death of Tanner Sinclair, 27, who died early yesterday morning.

Police received a 911 call to a home on Lazulite Drive in Copper Ridge around 12:20 a.m.

Sinclair was taken to Whitehorse General Hospital where he died.

MacPherson is described as a 32-year-old caucasian male, 5’10”, 220 lbs with brown hair and blue eyes.

He has one vehicle registered to his name, a 2002 Brown/Gold Cadillac Escalade, Yukon Licence Plate # HHS50. Police say he could also be driving an older red Honda Civic with unknown plates. That car has several dents and missing the driver’s side door

MLA Darius Elias admits to refusing breathalyzer Ashley Joannou News Reporter

V

untut Gwichin MLA Darius Elias pleaded guilty this morning to failing to provide a breath sample to the RCMP. He will be sentenced July 30.

The Yukon Party MLA from Old Crow did not appear in court himself this morning. He entered a guilty plea through his lawyer in front of a justice of the peace.

The minimum sentence for a first offence is a fine of $1,000.

Elias was charged back in May after police pulled him over at a check stop in Whitehorse for using a cell phone while driving.

Days later he appeared at a tightly-controlled news conference. Sitting next to Premier Darrell Pasloski, he admitted to a problem with alcohol and promised to seek help.

Beyond this, he’s refused to

MLA Darius Elias, centre, along with Premier Darrell Pasloski, right, speaks to reporters about being charged for failing to provide a breathalyzer test. offer any further explanation about the circumstances of him being pulled over, or the type of help he intends to seek.

He’s continued to work at his job. At the end of May he attended committee hearings over

the use of hydraulic fracturing, and on July 10, he sat through the last day of the Peel River watershed trial.

Elias was pulled over in the early hours of the day following the end of the Yukon legislature’s spring sitting. He had missed part of the final day’s afternoon.

Reliable sources told the News at the time that Elias was at the Edgewater Hotel’s bar and restaurant between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. He went back to the legislature without paying his bill in time to vote on the government’s 2014 budget. After Edgewater staff let him know, he returned around 5:30 p.m. to settle up.

The Yukon Party backbencher became interim leader of the Liberals in 2011, but left the party to sit as an Independent in August 2012 and later joined the government in July 2013.

Reproductive health clinic to open in the fall Ashley Joannou News Reporter

A

fter years of being dreamed up over lunchtime meetings and volunteer hours, the Yukon’s first reproductive health clinic is scheduled to open this fall.

The clinic is the brainchild of longtime Whitehorse MD Dr. Stephanie Buchanan and an army of doctors, nurses and non-profit groups who have pushed the project into reality.

Buchanan, who has been in the territory for the last 11 years, says there was an “obvious black hole in the community” when it comes to this type of health care.

If a woman doesn’t have a family doctor, getting basic reproductive care like birth control pills or pap smears can be a real challenge, she said.

It can mean waiting in a walk-in clinic or even the emergency room just to get a prescription.

The new clinic will offer these services, through nurse practitioner Michelle Wolsky, along with services like options counselling once a woman is pregnant, testing for sexually transmitted infections and information on contraceptives.

“It’s more or less a place where people will be treated by experts who have expertise in all manner of sexual health, reproductive health, pregnancy tests, STI checks, counselling around unexpected pregnancy, counselling around an STI diagnoses,” Buchanan said.

The clinic will be run two days a week starting in September, out of Whitehorse Medical Services on Lambert Street.

It’s open to everyone, though Buchanan said the target audience is specifically younger people.

That’s the group that has

the hardest time accessing a primary care doctor or may be uncomfortable asking these kinds of questions to a doctor who has known them their entire life, she said.

“In our very stifling society, sex is not on the radar for people. So when they do start to have sexual health needs there isn’t a real open venue sometimes, and it depends on your family,” she said.

“Young people are who we really want to access (but) we will not turn anyone away.”

That’s partly why the clinic will have evening hours as well.

“Evening hours are key,” she said. “You’re not going to get your population if you’re not open in the evening, because so many people who are working are not going to have that availability.”

Though most women in the Yukon can get different types of birth control covered through

health insurance, Buchanan said the clinic is also working on a fund to help subsidize the cost for those who can’t afford it.

For example, birth control pills might cost $10 a month from the clinic, as opposed to the normal $35 a month.

Giving women the option of birth control beyond a condom is in everyone’s best interest, she said.

Subsidized birth control has been shown to lower the number of unexpected pregnancies and even lower the rate of sexually transmitted infections, thanks to the education that comes with a prescription, she said.

“It would be a real tragedy if this clinic was up and barriers still existed for women to access a form of birth control that was going to work for her,” Buchanan said.

As a nurse practitioner,

Wolsky is able to write prescriptions, diagnose and perform tests as well as refer patients to other medical professionals.

She says having these services available in a clinic setting is the best financial choice for everyone involved.

“An emergency room is the most expensive place to access primary health care. So in terms of just cost savings, having your reproductive health care needs met at a clinic setting is much more cost effective than sitting for six hours for a birth control prescription in emerge,” she said.

“What that also does is it helps create relationships.

You might come one time for your birth control, then you come back because you have a question, then you come back because maybe you’ve decided now’s the time to get pregnant, or whatever happens with your reproductive health.”

It’s only in recent years that Wolsky has even been able to practice what she is trained to do. Yukon was the nation’s last jurisdiction to grant licences to nursing professionals like her.

Nurse practitioner legislation was tabled in 2012. The first nurse was registered in 2013.

“This sort of model is a brand new model for the Yukon,” Wolsky said, “which is really exciting because it means that the whole idea of how to deliver health care is starting to shift. Which is good.”

Buchanan said it has taken five or six years of serious lobbying by volunteers to get the clinic off the ground, though it’s something that has been needed in the territory since the ‘80s.

“This is all off the side of our desks at lunch time…completely volunteer to try and make this happen, and that’s hard for anyone.”

The need for a sexual health clinic was just “not on the government’s agenda,” she said.

The money for the clinic wouldn’t have actually been available, was it not for Wolsky’s position.

The cash is coming from a fund jointly administered by the Department of Health and Social Services and the Yukon Medical Association designed to fund collaborative care.

For now, the money is only guaranteed for three years. After that the contract will have to be renegotiated.

Buchanan and Wolsky want the clinic to become a central hub for sexual health, sexual information, education and outreach across the territory.

“People’s sexual health is absolutely a tenet of our well being,” Buchanan said.

bids, as it was required to do by the tender.

It submitted the security two days after the bid deadline, after being asked to do so by the First Nation.

As a result of the delay, Kluane’s bid should have been disqualified from the competition, Justice Gower ruled.

The First Nation argued through the proceedings that Cobalt’s bid, too, did not meet the tender criteria, according to the written judgement.

It argued that Cobalt did not properly list subcontractors and

did not make the best efforts to attract subcontractors from Burwash Landing.

However, this line of reasoning only emerged in an amended statement of defence, after the First Nation had deemed Cobalt’s bid compliant.

“The obvious problem with this argument is that there is no evidence whatsoever that KFN actually concluded that Cobalt’s bid was non-compliant, at any time or on any basis,” wrote Gower.

“Rather, KFN is attempting to justify its actions after the fact.”

Jon Rudolph, Cobalt’s opera-

tions manager, said the company missed out on $318,251 in profits because of the lost contract.

Kluane Corp. said it ultimately made only $77,465 profit on the contract.

But Gower noted that the development corporation had to spend more than $400,000 on equipment rental, while Cobalt owned its own.

Gower ruled that Cobalt’s calculation of missed profit was reasonable.

He ordered the sum payed in full, plus interest and some costs.

Yukon government sued for Watson Lake environment woes Sam Riches News Reporter

The Town of Watson Lake and the Liard First Nation have filed a lawsuit against the Yukon government for environmental abuses.

It’s the first time that a First Nation and a local government have joined forces as co-plaintiffs in an action against the territorial government, according to a news release issued by the plaintiffs. It’s also the first time that the Environment Act has been used against the government that introduced it.

Watson Lake Mayor Richard Durocher said the town and Liard First Nation have been working together for the better part of a year, since concerns were initially raised about hydrocarbons leaking into the fish-bearing waters of Wye Lake, which eventually flows into the Liard River.

Those hydrocarbons appear to be emanating from the Alaska Highway, but Durocher said they haven’t been able to locate the direct source.

“We want the Yukon government to do a Level II environmental review of where these hydrocarbons are coming from,� he said. “We’re adamant now we’ll stick with a court-ordered Level II review and from there start the investigation to find the source of these gas and diesel emissions.�

Durocher said the town has conducted extensive testing on the water and found that contaminants from gas and diesel have been observed at levels up to 7,450 micrograms per litre. The Yukon defines contamination at 5,000 ug/L. The town has also found hydrocarbons in the lagoon system.

Town officials tested Yukon’s sewer lines, which showed levels up to 37,700 ug/L, more than seven times the level of contamination.

The hydrocarbons were destroying the town’s microbes and preventing waste from breaking down.

The source of the hydrocarbons was linked back to drainage from the Department of Highway and Public Works. “We isolated it to that one drainage line,� said Durocher.

Watson Lake Mayor Richard Durocher.

Located Downtown Carcross at the Commons.

He said the town alerted the Yukon government of the problem but that they weren’t taken seriously.

Watson Lake responded by plugging the Department of Highway and Public works drains, in an attempt to prevent more hydrocarbons from being released.

The Yukon government challenged the town’s authority and instructed them to re-open the lines, and threatened the town for all costs due to disruption of the service, according to the news release. “Yukon minimized the volume of the discharge and the premier has defined the contamination as ‘alleged’ despite laboratory data, Wed, July 16 & Thursday, July 17 Whitehorse Yukon Cinema Whi8thorse 304 Wood Street Ph: 668-6644

disclosed to the Yukon, that clearly indicated otherwise,� it states.

The drainage lines remain plugged and have been for six months, said Durocher. “The irony is that Yukon, through the Yukon Water Board, is demanding a remediation plan for our sewage lagoon and it has placed demands that we spend $100,000 on hydro-geological wells to ensure no leakage occurs into the Liard River,� he said. “In light of our discovery, the demands are absurd. Our community will not spend one cent on a problem created by the very government that has ordered we clean it up. “In my view, that’s a little hypocritical. It’s fully their responsibility.�

According to the release, the statement of claim asks the court to impose a multitude of remedies, all of which involve the cleanup of the sewage lagoon and the Alaska Highway right of way. Precise figures for the cleanup will not be known unless a Level II environmental review is ordered by the court, but early figures indicate remediation

in excess of $20 million, according to the release. “The Yukon government wants us to believe they can properly monitor and enforce environmental standards in the Peel watershed and on lands where fracking is to occur, but they can’t even clean up their own backyard. Their conduct is hypocritical. Their behaviour demonstrates why so many Yukoners are concerned with the environmental and First Nations attitudes of this government,� said Cindy Porter, deputy chief of the Liard First Nation, in the release. “It’s tragic we had to go to this step to force the Yukon government to take action on this file,� said Durocher. “It’s nice to see the First Nation here coming on board as a co-plaintiff on this. They realize the importance of doing this and agreed right away to get on board.�

Neither plaintiff is seeking any direct monetary compensation.

They are represented by Geoff Plant, a former attorney general of British Columbia. “It’s up to the Yukon government where they want to go from here,� said Durocher. “We’re ready and willing to talk but they need to be willing to come to the table as well.�

The Yukon government did not respond for comment by press time.

Tainted water source baffles Faro cleanup crew Myles Dolphin News Reporter

F

or more than eight months, cleanup crews at the Faro mine have been stupefied by a mysterious source of contaminated water.

Concerns were initially raised in late October and early November following a routine water test that revealed unusually high levels of zinc at the surface of the north fork of Rose Creek.

Stephen Mead, the Yukon’s director of assessment and abandoned mines, said the findings were strange because high levels of zinc had never been detected in that area before.

“When you see a blip on the radar, you go back and make sure the tests are correct. We checked the lab results but we were still seeing elevated levels of zinc.”

According to British Columbia’s ambient water quality guidelines for zinc, high levels of the metal are always found in contaminated waters flowing through a bedrock system containing zinc deposits.

The 25 square-kilometre Faro site, once the world’s largest leadzinc mine, consists of 320 million tonnes of waste rock and contaminated spill sites.

Mead said the metal can be highly toxic to aquatic life, but not to humans.

In trying to understand how widespread the issue was, a signifi-

One of the pits at the Faro mine site.

cant amount of monitoring was carried out to determine where the contamination was coming from.

Mead said it took them six weeks to “get a handle on what was going on,” as they were looking for a very small volume of water.

In late January, more than $1 million was spent on a drilling program in the eastern edge of the Faro waste dump, above the north fork, to estimate where the contamination was coming from.

Holes were drilled to sample underneath the waste rock pile in an attempt to find the source, but that was unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, the water quality was continuing to deteriorate and exceeded some safe levels for aquatic life.

“We saw it get worse in February and March, but then nature took hand,” Mead said.

“With the spring meltwater and the introduction of fresh water we began seeing the water quality improve naturally, but we still hadn’t found where it was coming from.”

Unable to find the source, the crews entered into a second phase of response.

On site two weeks ago, they came up with a solution they’re

hoping will be effective before the weather gets too cold again.

“We’re looking at going into Rose Creek and trying to capture that contaminated water as it comes out of the base of that rock pile, and before it mixes with the freshwater,” Mead added.

If they manage to intercept it, they can pipe it into a storage area, a technique they’ve already used at three other areas of the site.

They hope to have that designed and constructed within the next 10 weeks, before the impacts of the source become too large.

“The level to which we have to

manage all the water leaving the site is half a milligram of zinc for every litre of water,” Mead said.

“The water leaving the perimeter of the Faro site exceeded that amount by about 20 per cent for roughly two weeks. Inside the boundary is where this new contamination is coming out. It flows through the site and then leaves it; in that journey is where it is diluted and the end result is 0.6 milligrams of zinc per litre of water.”

At the very point where the water comes out of the rocks, however, the level of zinc was measured at up to tens of milligrams per litre of water and at its source, is likely 20 times that amount.

In contrast, some more contaminated water contained on site has been measured at up to 1,500 milligrams of zinc per litre of water.

The government has been in constant contact with First Nations groups and regulators, said Mead.

“Everyone recognizes it’s an unfortunate situation,” he said.

In 2009, the estimated cost of the Faro cleanup project was pegged at $450 million.

As of March 31 this year, it stood at approximately $925 million.

That number will continue to be refined as the closure plan is further developed over the coming years.

Cleanup of the site is expected to take many hundreds of years.

back and started going through the garbage again.

“Because of the behaviour the bear was displaying at the time he was forced to put the bear down,” Hennings said.

By 5:30 p.m. both baby bears had been captured after taking refuge in a tree and were brought to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve for assessment.

Their fate is still up in the air.

These are wild bears. They no longer have their mom to take care of them. The wildlife preserve isn’t equipped to deal with them in the long term.

“The department’s veterinarian staff will assess their condition and we will make some sort of decisions about what condition they are in, if we can find them a care facility to go to or not, and go from there,” Hennings said.

There are really only two possibilities, he said. One is, provided they’re healthy, to find a facility that wants them.

“If not, they may have to be put down.”

“They’re wild, they’re not going to want to be handled by people,” Hennings said. “So we’re in a tough spot, and it’s a tough spot we tried desperately to avoid two weeks ago when we relocated her.”

The incident serves as another reminder to residents to take

measures to prevent bears from getting into garbage, said Hennings.

“This is a prime example of how quickly a bear can go down this road, and the lengths once they do that they will go to to return and continue this behaviour.”

“Unfortunately, we are no longer able to accommodate these requests. As an alternative, flags can be purchased directly from a number of flag shops within Canada.”

Hickson said he was taken aback by the reply, considering how successful he had been with other provinces and territories, and had a hard time coming to terms with Rowe’s letter.

“If the point was to buy a $35 flag, then we would have already done that,” he said.

“The objective here is to have one gifted from each of the provinces as a gesture of fraternity and good will among all of the provinces.”

He said he tried writing to other people within the Yukon government, appealing to them for a flag, and even wrote back to Rowe in an attempt to get her to change her mind.

he requested a flag from every Canadian premier.

“My goal is to assemble a collection of all of the provincial and territorial flags so that our cadets can form a marching unit and proudly fly them in our parades and ceremonies for all to see,” he wrote to the News in an e-mail on July 10.

Hickson’s project is coming along nicely, having received positive responsives from every Canadian province and territory, with just one exception.

“I have written your premier and your chief of protocol but sadly, our request was refused,” he said.

“Your government is the only one that has said no to this symbolic gesture.”

Hickson was informed of the bad news through a letter from Arwen Rowe, administrative assistant for intergovernmental relations with the Executive Council Office, dated June 27.

In it, she stated that the government could no longer cope with the high volume of requests each year.

That plan is the one currently in effect in the region, according to the Yukon government.

“In between the restrictive nature of the plan and the uncertainty around the court case and of course the public’s sensitivities around the uncertainties at this stage, it’s clear that the area is a no-go zone right now, to anybody who is paying attention,” said Hartland. “There’s no question.”

On top of that the two First Nations that launched the lawsuit, the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun and the Tr’ondek Hwech’in, have made it clear that they do not want to see the industry in the area, he said.

he level of uncertainty for mining exploration in the Peel watershed “couldn’t possibly be understated,” according to Samson Hartland, executive director of the Yukon Chamber of Mines.

His comments come on the heels of last week’s court case over the region’s land use plans.

First Nations and environmental groups have sued the Yukon government for introducing its own plan for the region, which opens 71 per cent of the area to new mineral staking.

They argued that the plan recommended by the Peel Watershed Planning Commission, allowing staking in only 20 per cent of the watershed, is the only legal land use plan.

But neither plan is friendly to the mining industry, said Hartland.

The solution is for all the parties to come back to the negotiating table, said Hartland.

“We’d like to see people talk about what land use planning means, and to take stock of land use planning in the territory, because certainly right now it seems like we’ve hit a bit of a wall and are asking the courts to decide what land use planning means for the territory.”

The Yukon government estimates that $50 million has been spent exploring in the Peel in the last decade, he said.

“It sort of magnifies and confirms that mining and the environment can co-exist, because this is a region that has had this amount of dollars spent in it, and it’s still viewed as pristine.”

communicated that to our membership.”

Mike Power, president of the Yukon Prospectors’ Association, said that a ruling in favour of the government wouldn’t do much for the industry.

The government’s plan amounts to effective expropriation of the existing claims in the watershed, but “it’s a little like getting smothered with a pillow,” he said.

“Under the current land use plan that the government has proposed, the area is basically going to be a no-go area. It’s not going to be easy at all to do anything in there with the restrictions they are proposing.

I think anybody who is worried about the mining industry flooding into the Peel if the court case doesn’t go their way is wrong.

“It’s cleverly crafted. It’s sort of telling a home owner that, sure, you own the land, but you can’t put a road in front of it, you can’t

Bike thief pulls off big heist four various sizes of Specialized Stump Jumpers, two Specialized Camber bikes, one Specialized P20 BMX, two Banshee bikes, four Rocky Mountain bikes, one Salsa bike, one Soda bike and one Cadet BMX bike.

There were all new, high-end models.

Whitehorse RCMP members were dispatched to the Wood St. shop after receiving a 911 call from a concerned citizen, who spotted the broken glass from the front door.

he front door of Cadence Cycle hung open on Monday afternoon, the door tied in placed with a deflated bike tube, the window pane missing.

Inside, the shop bustled with customers but the inventory was sparse compared to the usual cramped feeling of the local bike shop owned by Dean Eyre.

Sometime between Saturday evening at 6 p.m. and Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m. 16 highend bikes, miscellaneous bicycle items, and cash from the till were stolen. In total, the missing items add up to more than $40,000 in value.

Eyre was back behind the counter on Monday afternoon, filling orders and repairing bikes, business continuing on, despite the sudden loss.

No surveillance footage of the thieves is available. “You hope you don’t have to worry about that,� he said, “but I guess I should have been a little more diligent with my security system.�

The theft was large enough to register on a national scale, he said. “It was pretty comprehensive.�

On Monday afternoon, a security company was on its way to give Eyre an estimate on installing a security system.

As for the bikes that are already gone, Eyre doesn’t expect them to show up on the local

market. Insurance should be able to recoup some of the loss, and most of the bikes had registered serial numbers.

It’s likely that the bikes will stripped down and sold as parts through online retailers like eBay, Pinkbike and Craigslist.

Are you asking for it?

Natasha Harvey

I

f you are at the Yukon music festivals this summer and you come across some friendly volunteers handing out buttons and condoms, stop and talk to them. Those volunteers are part of a consent crew whose role is to get people reflecting on and talking about consent.

The consent campaign aims to reduce the incidence of sexualized assaults by getting people to consistently ask for consent before engaging in any sexual activity.

For many people, the idea of asking for consent appears awkward and unusual. The consent crew challenges the belief that if you stop to ask if it is OK to kiss someone that it will somehow ruin the mood. Instead, we propose that asking for consent can be fun and sexy, but most importantly, it shows you respect your partner and that you don’t want to do something that would upset them or leave them feeling violated.

In most sexual interactions we rely on body language and non-verbal cues to determine whether or not to make a move.

Although there is nothing wrong with this form of communication, body language can often be misinterpreted or misunderstood. For example, flirting might mean that he or she likes the attention, but isn’t interested in having sex. Or it could also be how that person interacts and they aren’t aware that their friendliness is being mistaken for an invitation to sex.

The consent crew tries to get people to reflect on some of the more grey areas of consent.

Through games and scenarios, they raise questions such as: when two people have been drinking, whose responsibility is it to get consent? And just how drunk does someone have to be before they are no longer able to

give consent?

We’ve all seen situations, for example, where a guy buys a woman drinks at the bar then leaves with her at the end of the night. It is such a common scene that most people probably wouldn’t think twice about it. If the people involved were strangers, someone might reason that maybe they were a couple; maybe she knew the guy; or maybe she wanted to leave with him. But what if the woman was your friend, would you react differently? Or what if the man was your friend? Is it still called “cock-blocking” if you intervene to stop someone from potentially committing rape?

The scenarios used in the consent campaign try to address assumptions that women “owe” men sex or that men have the “right” to women’s bodies.

They equally aim to challenge attitudes that blame victims for the way they dress, how much they flirt, how much they’ve had to drink or their previous sexual history.

The slogan of the campaign “Are you asking for it?” makes the dual claim that no one ever asks to be raped and it is the responsibility of the person seeking sexual interaction to ask for consent.

Practising consent means communicating clearly with your partner and respecting both your and their boundaries and right to say no. Consent is about more than just “not raping someone” – it involves creating healthy and positive relationships that are built on open communication, honesty and respect. Asking and getting to know what your partner is into and what they like shows you respect and care about that person but can also be fun and exciting.

So, next time, make sure you ask for it and get consent.

Natasha Harvey the project co-ordinator for Les EssentiElles.

During the past two months Yukoners Concerned About Oil and Gas Exploration and Development have visited four Whitehorse ridings to invite voters to sign a petition opposing Yukon Energy’s liquefied natural gas plant and fracking in Yukon.

To date, we have visited the ridings of Premier Darrell Pasloski and ministers Scott Kent, Currie Dixon and Mike Nixon, collecting nearly 1,500 names, bringing to 4,000 the number of Yukoners who have already signed, making this petition the largest ever undertaken in Yukon. It will be submitted to the Yukon legislature at the start of the fall sitting.

Among the comments we have heard at the door are: • Our fresh water needs to be protected from pollution.

• Yukon Energy should be looking at renewable energy like wind, solar and bio-mass.

• Industry should pay the full cost of energy and not be subsidized by Yukon ratepayers.

• Yukon does not need another boom-bust activity.

• Who will pay for the infrastructure damage to roads, bridges etc.?

• Fracking will lead to the degradation of our land, water and air and impact our quality of life.

• The location of the LNG plant alongside one of the two exit routes from downtown/Riverdale and adjacent to the existing hydro facility is risky and dangerous.

Although the Yukon Party government has given its approval for the LNG plant, Yukon Energy must still obtain the required building and operating permits before construction can begin.

Stopping this project may be a faint hope, but there is still considerable value in letting the government know that thousands of Yukoners continue to oppose its construction, that Yukoners are concerned because

science shows that natural gas, as measured through its life cycle from production to consumption, is much more toxic to the environment than diesel, and that Yukoners care that our LNG would come from fracked sources.

We urge you to sign the petition, to contact your MLA and express your views, to write to the select committee on hydraulic fracturing, and if possible to attend one of the remaining select committee hearings in late August or early September.

Voice your opposition to both the LNG plant and to the oil and gas industry’s plans to frack in Yukon.

YUKON NEWS

Temporary foreign worker program far from ‘slavery’

by Graham Lang

SECOND THOUGHTS

T

he Federal government recently announced the shuttering of the temporary foreign worker program in the Yukon. The program was a pilot initiative intended to help the Yukon deal with seasonal worker shortages, allowing local employers to bring in foreign workers of a fixed-term basis to satisfy local labour requirements.

The Yukon Federation of Labour trumpeted the news, decrying the program as a vehicle for “slave labour” and the cancellation as good news for Canadian workers.

While there may be some issues with the program in other jurisdictions, methinks the labour federation may be exercising some hyperbolic liberty with their description of the program as “slave labour,” a description which borders on a pretty griev-

ous insult to those employers (or, by the federation’s definition, “slavers”) who participated in the program.

The Yukon, given our seasonal work cycle and relative isolation, has needs for such programs to ensure our economy has the necessary labour to meet the shortterm needs of employers. Without available labour those projects that would otherwise be green-lit are moth-balled, and we lose not only the benefit of that specific project, but the ancillary benefits which flow from those local businesses which provide logistical or other support.

The Yukon is especially susceptible to summer worker shortages, as our season is especially short and our location is especially remote. During our summer season the rest of Canada is busy putting projects into the building phase, and we compete with jurisdictions that are more central, more accessible and cheaper to live. If no local labour was available at a reasonable wage, Yukon employers were allowed to make use of the temporary foreign worker program to bring in workers to meet their needs.

An employer under the program had to meet certain criteria when hiring, with the centerpiece

being that the pay must be at least the median wage particular to that profession or position.

The program was not designed to under-cut wages, but rather to provide at least the median wage to foreign workers, and only after the employer had attempted to fill the job by advertising in Canada.

The prospective foreign employee then had the option to take the job or not, much like a Canadian citizen. If the wage was commiserate with the position, the foreign worker could accept or not accept, a bargain for services rendered. Those workers are subject to all of the same work place safety legislation and oversight as any other business in Yukon. Far from a “slave labour” type position, the temporary foreign worker provides services in exchange for remuneration under the same umbrella of labour protections as any other employee.

Further, as the employment was on a temporary basis, the employees did not find themselves bound to long-term contracts which they could not break.

Some jurisdictions, such as Qatar (whose labour practises are currently under the microscope due to its upcoming hosting of the FIFA World Cup in 2022), take in foreign workers, remove

their passports, allow long-term employment contracts and pay far less than standard wages of resident workers. These workers often do not even have an end date on their contracts and are ignored by local labour regulators, truly creating a economic sub-class of workers.

The Yukon temporary foreign worker program took great pains to avoid such pitfalls, and rather created a win-win scenario by which the local economy received the seasonal workers it needs, while the foreign worker receives fair wage in a safe and reliable work environment.

The temporary foreign worker program is designed to meet short-term needs, and for that reason is required on top of the already existing Yukon Nominee Program, which is designed to fill long-term positions. Under the Yukon Nominee Program an employer is expected to have two years worth of work for a prospective foreign employee, with the worker eventually obtaining permanent residency in Canada through the program.

The temporary foreign worker program identifies the need for seasonal workers, and allows employers to hire skilled and unskilled labour flexibly to account

of the cyclical needs of a given project.

Both programs work well for the Yukon, as both target different structural issues in the Yukon labour market.

The comments from the labour federation comparing the program to slavery are insulting to local employers, as it implies that employers are taking advantage of a program to ride roughshod over the rights of temporary workers. In my opinion it is just the opposite; local employers are providing opportunity to foreign workers to earn good wages in safe work environments, and only after seeking help in the local labour market.

The corollary benefit is that the Yukon economy as a whole keeps expanding, eventually creating more permanent jobs, which in turn leads to more Yukon nominee applications and a benefit to all residents of the Yukon.

Far from slavery, properly overseen programs such as the temporary foreign worker program keep the Yukon working, and I would encourage the Yukon government to look into renegotiating the program with the Federal government.

ground gets a fighting chance against the millions being spent on the air.�

But how exactly will the parties plot their advertising course as the election draws nearer? The parties have offered some early hints.

The Conservatives have focused their efforts so far on Trudeau, with a campaign that tries to paint him as a trifling, inexperienced leader with naive ideas. Prime Minister Stephen Harper played on that theme during a speech last weekend in Calgary. “Tell Canadians there’s something ‘new and exciting.’ What is it? Well, just close your eyes and dream, but don’t ruin it all by asking any hard questions,� he said in his prepared remarks.

Conservative strategist and Ottawa consultant Tim Powers said with a majority government, the party has been able to roll out its spending a little more slowly, steadily building a story around what it perceives as its rival’s main vulnerability.

“You want to put on your base cover as if you were painting a house, and then you want to add the layers when you’re ready to paint that house and move in,� said Powers, vice-chairman of Summa Strategies. “You’ll start to see the second and third coats of paints coming forward later in the year and early in 2015.�

The NDP have done little traditional advertising over the last two years, although they have done targeted online campaigns around specific policy issues such as abolishing the Senate and opposing the Northern Gateway pipeline project.

The Liberals, meanwhile, recently released an advertisement with the message that Trudeau is focused on Canadians and their issues, all while the Conservatives focus their energy on him.

The party has put Trudeau squarely in all of its marketing tools, including a series of highproduction value digital shorts of Trudeau having dinners with aver-

age Canadians – a play perhaps on the adage, “who would you rather have a beer with?�

All of the parties, meanwhile, are paying specific attention to reaching voters with social media tools, including online petitions, Twitter campaigns, YouTube and Facebook.

Jonathan Rose, a political science professor at Queen’s University and expert on government advertising, said the Conservatives might find it harder to make a narrative stick to Trudeau than his predecessors, since he already has an established public persona.

Still, Rose said political parties settle on particular messages by conducting public opinion polling beforehand. “The claim being made – whether it’s about a leader or leadership or policy – has to be plausible. In other words, it has to be seen by the public to be something that might be true,� said Rose. “If it’s not, it looks like the party or the government is grasping.�

Previous questionnaires have asked people for permission to seek information from the revenue agency, but a social insurance number is a much more accurate link to income tax files than a name and date of birth. “It doesn’t take much sometimes to make the linkage fail, if some of the information is incorrect,� said Hamel. “It is also a very work-intensive

hold Survey in 2016, despite ongoing criticism that it is a poor substitute for the mandatory long form.

In 2006, the mandatory long census had a response rate of 93.5 per cent. The 2011 NHS received a response rate of 68.6 per cent, with higher reluctance among some groups, such as aboriginals.

Ian Macredie, a former senior bureaucrat at Statistics Canada, said the agency is likely testing out the SIN question now to get a read on just how difficult it will be to get that information in 2016. “We may have a population that, because of the (U.S.) National Security Administration, has a heightened awareness of Big Brother collecting data about us,� said Macredie. “It may well be that the atmosphere in the respondent population has changed and that’s why you do a test.�

approach. If we have a number we could use instead, it would go much faster and the linkage itself would be of better quality.�

That data will also help Statistics Canada fill in the blanks when people choose not to complete their different surveys, providing them with a general picture of certain types of households.

If the test works, the agency might be able to one day replace an entire section of questions on income in the long form by just asking for the SIN. The United Kingdom has also been investigating ways of linking their census with more sources of government data.

Hamel said they are also looking at changing the look of the online version of the questionnaires to make them more userfriendly.

The great Yukon moss hunt ‘Every species has a role in the ecosystem in which it lives and contributes to the biodiversity that makes ecosystems strong.’

Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

L

ooking for Porsild’s bryum, a rare moss, in the Yukon probably feels a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack.

That’s what Jennifer Doubt spent two weeks doing last month.

She is the curator of the botany section at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.

Porsild’s bryum is a picky sort of plant. It prefers the cold, wet faces of seeping limestone cliffs.

There are only five known locations in Canada, and the moss is listed as “threatened” by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada.

The moss is named for Morten Porsild, a botanist who worked mostly in Greenland.

While Doubt and her team of scientists didn’t find Porsild’s bryum, they did find his granddaughter.

Ellen Davignon, who has written extensively about growing up at Johnson’s Crossing Lodge, is Morten Porsild’s granddaughter.

Doubt and her team had no idea about this Yukon connection, but they stopped at Johnson’s Crossing looking for cinnamon buns.

Davignon no longer runs the lodge, but happened to be there that day, running the dough mixer.

She had her about the botanists coming to look for her grandfather’s moss on the CBC. “It’s so random,” said Doubt. “We were just there for cinnamon buns, and we had this chance encounter.

“I wish we could have stayed there all afternoon, but we did sit down with her for a short time and listen to her wonderful stories about her father and about her experience at the lodge and in the bakery.”

Doubt and her team spent two weeks scouring the Yukon for the rare species.

Although it has never been documented here, there are known locations in Alberta and Alaska as well as historical references in parts of the Arctic archipelago.

So it would make sense that there could be Porsild’s bryum in the Yukon, said Doubt.

They spent their time helicoptering into remote locations around Dawson and in the southeast corner of the territory.

There were the inevitable flat tires on the Dempter Highway.

“I felt like I graduated or something when the flat tire light went on for the second and third time,” said Doubt.

The lovely thing about hunting for Porsild’s bryum is that the most promising sites often happen to also be the prettiest.

“The waterfalls are beautiful places to visit, so I felt really lucky to

Porslid’s bryum is a rare and endangered species of moss that has not been found to date in Yukon.

be involved in a project that focused on such picturesque and adventurous sites,” said Doubt.

While the botanists didn’t actually find what they came to look for, that doesn’t mean the case is closed.

“It was a lot of kilometres, but when you look at the map there’s huge areas of the Yukon that we didn’t come close to seeing. So there’s definitely lots of work left to be done.”

And Doubt left the territory with 750 samples of mosses and liverworts the scientists did find on their travels.

It’s too early say what discoveries will be made in those collections.

They must be dried thoroughly before they can be identified and classified.

There could be newly discovered species among them.

“Many of the places we have been haven’t been visited by moss specialists so we know that at the very least we’ll be filling in the distributions of known Yukon species, but I would not be surprised at all if we find some new records for the territory,” said Doubt.

Some may wonder why anyone would spend their days examining tiny plants.

But mosses are very important parts of ecosystems, especially in the North, said Doubt.

Rene J. Belland photo

Jennifer Doubt, curator of botany for the Canadian Museum of Nature, searches for moss.

“The more extreme the climate gets, larger plants are less able to cope and so you find fewer of them, and the really tough plants, like mosses, are the ones that can.

So you get these northern and high-elevation ecosystems that are dominated by mosses, and really control what goes on in terms of the other plant and animal life that can

survive there.”

Mosses are also pioneers – the first plant life to colonize disturbed environments and provide the food and shelter other plants and animals need to follow suit.

Porsild’s bryum may be very particular about the spots it chooses to make a go of it, but the role the moss plays in that environment

should not be underestimated.

“Every species of plant or animal has a role in the ecosystem in which it lives and contributes to the biodiversity that makes ecosystems strong. The loss of any one species diminishes the diversity and weakens the system.”

Festival brings international talent together Sam Riches News Reporter

D

uring the three days of the Atlin festival the small town becomes, however briefly, a temporary home for many.

The artists and performers share meals and beverages and get to know each other in the ephemeral setting before hitting the road once again.

Many arrive to Atlin for the first time, unsure of what to expect in the North.

Possessed by Paul James, the stage name of one-man show Konrad Wert, and Alex Cuba were two such artists.

Wert, whose stage name is in honour of his father and grandfather, spoke to the News on Saturday afternoon, having just wrapped up a performance down by the lake and a few hours from taking the main stage for the first time.

Wert, originally from southwest Florida, now calls Texas home, and got his first career break while touring in Europe. No matter which way you look at it, he was a long way from home while in Atlin.

“I had no idea what to think because I didn’t know anybody that knew the ‘fest down in the 48,” he said. “When I came into Whitehorse, off the ferry from Skagway, everyone was like, ‘What are you doing here, Texas man?’ and when I told them I’m playing at Atlin everyone said how great it is. It’s like a little Shangri-La.” Wert, who plays the guitar, the violin and the banjo, is adaptable by nature. A school teacher by day and musician by night, he refers to the band as ‘we’ despite his singularity. It’s a way of paying respect to his partner, Jenny, their two children, and his father and

Alex Cuba was one of the major acts in Atlin this past weekend.

grandfather, he said.

“It’s strange to have conversations with people when every word is ‘I’ in the conversation. It kind of feels strange and a little artistic and we don’t want to be narcissistic,” he laughs.

He plays folk festivals and also tours on the punk circuit, melding his style to fit whatever bill he’s on.

He said Atlin, and the music festival culture of Canada in general, reminded him of central Europe.

“There’s an appreciation here, a humbleness, a selflessness that reminds me of Europe. Something about appreciating the arts in a different light. There’s a romance here.”

That appreciation is evident in the attentiveness of the crowd.

Wert said it was a little unnerving at first performing at the festival because of how strongly eyes locked onto him.

“It’s a different way to celebrate music,” he said. “Here stories are told and I’m comfortable in this environment, I just don’t do it often.”

Konrad Wert, known as Possessed by Paul James, in the artists’ area.

For Alex Cuba, a Cuban transplant who has called Smithers, B.C. home for the last 11 years, the journey to Atlin was preceded with similar unknowing.

“I didn’t know what I was getting into,” he said, “but it’s been great. I’m really pumped to be here.”

Cuba was the last performer on Friday evening, taking the main stage at midnight. He spoke to the News the next day, while sitting in the artist campground.

“Last night we had an amazing, welcoming experience,” he said, before being cut off by a young fan who ran over and said, “Stay right here, my Mom’s friend thinks you’re great.”

“Oh man,” Cuba laughed, before returning back to the conversation. “I’m really happy here.”

His music, a style which is difficult to define, captures that positivity. He calls it Cuban soul rock and sees himself as a pioneer of “a new Latin vibe.”

He comes from a musical family – he refers to his father as

the encyclopedia of Cuban music – but his individual style was birthed from arriving to Canada and wanting to introduce people to something new.

“It’s really hard for a Cuban to get used to the environment and immigrate to Canada and plant their feet on this ground,” he said, stomping on the grassy earth below him. “So many keep playing for Latin people, for Cuban people, they want to relive memories but it isolates you. You’re not playing for a Canadian audience, and your music won’t take you anywhere because you’re not making the commitment to deliver on this ground and embrace it.”

In 2006, Cuba won a Juno for World Music Album of the Year

BIRTHDAY PRESENTS 207 Main St. 668-3447

and won the same award again in 2008. In 2010, he won a Latin Grammy for Best New Artist.

“Once I got here I never looked back,” he said. “I never say I miss Cuba. I’m here for good now.”

Pointing across the field into the nearby forest, he said, “that tree, I’m going to put in my song.

Cuba is comfortable in Smithers and refers to himself, now, as a “northern sort of dude.”

“For me one of my most favourite things to do is getting my boots on and walking when it’s snowing, getting lost in the woods, having a fire, cooking up some wieners. I can write a really catchy, happy, hot sounding song with three feet of snow and minus 38 outside of my window.”

volunteers and team leaders.

Many of the team leaders are local Atlin residents, most of whom have been involved with the festival since its inception.

“The Atlin teams are really strong and welcoming,” said Anderson. “Everyone is just down to make the festival happen.”

Anderson said that the hours spent pouring over the schedule can eventually be lost in the ether as the festival churns on and volunteers sometimes don’t show, or show at the wrong times, or at the wrong place and sudden substitutes have to

be swapped in, patching up the missing holes.

Joslyn Kilborn was one of the festival’s volunteers, working security around the main tent on Saturday afternoon, the first of her six hour shifts.

A few hours into it, everything was going smoothly. “Everyone just wants to be good and nice,” she said.

She tugged at her Atlinissued orange safety vest and said, “Plus, once you get the orange vest you’re in the orange vest club and that comes with a secret handshake.”

Anderson echoed the team-

spirit sentiment of the festival.

“Everyone just wants things to go smoothly and works together to make it happen,” she said.

On Sunday evening, Anderson and Kilborn worked together, tearing down the remnants of the festival, packing them up alongside 30 other volunteers.

As the tents fell, one year of planning fell alongside them, but the rest won’t last long; the Atlin board have already started on next year’s event.

Natural ways to alleviate anxiety

N

o one is immune to anxiety, which can be triggered by a number of factors. Many people who deal with anxiety can trace their episodes to family, finances or work, but other circumstances, including personal health or even fear of travelling, can lead to anxiety that’s difficult to manage.

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting roughly 40 million adults age 18 and older. Anxiety also is a significant issue in Canada, where the Anxiety Disorders Association of Canada reports that such disorders are the most prevalent mental illness affecting Canadian adults.

While many rely on prescription medication to treat their anxiety, those suffering from anxiety disorders may want to discuss natural alternatives to such medications with their physicians.

The following are some natural ways to treat anxiety that may help anxiety sufferers deal with their disorder without the need for medication. • Chamomile: An ancient medicinal herb, chamomile is experiencing a resurgence of sorts. The dried flowers of chamomile contain many terpenoids and flavonoids that increase its medicinal properties.

In fact, a study at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center that examined the efficacy of chamomile at treating generalized anxiety disorder found that patients who took chamomile supplements for eight weeks experienced a significant decrease in their symptoms compared to those given a placebo.

Chamomile tea has grown increasingly popular in recent years, but those suffering from anxiety may want to discuss with their doctors chamomile supplements as a means to treating their anxiety.

• Valerian: Used to treat insomnia, valerian is a sedative herb that is best taken at night. Some people drink valerian tea to reduce their anxiety, but the aroma of valerian tea can be unpleasant.

If that aroma is simply too pungent, valerian can be taken as a capsule or tincture. But valerian should really only be taken at night thanks to its sedative compounds. • Exercise: Treating anxiety does not necessarily have to involve putting something into your body. Exercise can be an effective antidote to anxiety, especially for those people whose anxiety can be traced to their concerns about their long-term health.

Regular exercise improves mood and supports long-term health, and for some anxiety sufferers that’s enough to alleviate their condition. Even a relatively short 30-minute daily workout can be very effective at treating anxiety. • Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids can benefit the body in a variety of ways. Though most widely associated with promoting cardiovascular health, omega-3 fatty acids also have been linked to alleviating anxiety.

In a 2011 study published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, students who received omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids before an exam experienced a 20 per cent reduction in anxiety symptoms over those who received a placebo.

Sources of omega-3 fatty acids include salmon and other oily, coldwater fishes. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements also are available, but men and women should discuss such supplements and any potential side effects with their physicians before taking anything.

Yukon collects a record 14 medals at Special Olympic Games Tom Patrick News Reporter

Y

ukon’s Special Olympians performed at their best in the 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games last week in Vancouver, B.C. Not only did athletes post many personal bests as individuals, the team as a whole delivered its best showing to date.

Team Yukon won 14 medals, the most ever collected by Yukon at the quadrennial national championship, up from 12 medals in 2010.

“I think it went really well,” said Yukon Chef de Mission Janine Peters. “The athletes have been training hard all year since the beginning of our season, which would have been the beginning of October. They’ve been working on a lot of different things like teamwork, nutrition, healthy eating.

“We’ve made sure the athletes know winning isn’t all about the medals, it’s learning how to be a team player.”

It was a big team that got big results. The Yukon squad was the largest ever set to the Games from Canada’s three territories with 24 athletes and 15 coaches and staff.

The largest part of the team was the soccer squad with 10 players and three coaches, and they made history.

Yukon captured its very first soccer gold in a thrilling shootout win over New Brunswick in the division C final on Saturday.

Yukon won bronze at the 2006 Games and silver at the 2010 Games.

“There was a lot of emotion.

The team was in tears after they won the gold medal,” said Yukon soccer coach Ken Binns.

“It was a very close, very exciting game throughout the final. It was pretty evenly matched.”

Yukon twice fought back from a goal down to finish regulation tied 2-2 and extra time tied 3-3.

The territory’s Kenny Atlin, Owen Munroe and Mike Sumner scored in the shootout to secure the win.

For Sumner, it was a “golden goal” and his first ever at a Games.

“It was amazing – the whole game was,” said Sumner. “I had my first ever soccer goal in the final goal.

“It was one of the best competitions I’ve ever had in my whole career.”

Yukon arrived in the final with a 6-0 win over P.E.I. and 2-0 over New Brunswick before a rematch in the gold medal match.

“Gaetan (Michaud) our goalie and Kenny Atlin, for sure, stood out,” said Sumner. “Owen Munroe

played a really good tournament as well.”

Also playing for Yukon were Rachel Dawson, Teddy Jackson, Christopher Lee, Duncan McRae, Steven McGundy and Marvin Hall, Yukon’s flag-bearer in the opening ceremonies.

“It was very inspirational to watch all the athletes and exciting as it always is,” said Binn of the Games. “It was quite an experience for myself.”

Yukon’s Jessica Pruden and Darby McIntyre burned up the track in Vancouver.

The two athletics competitors each won two medals and set personal bests.

“I think they did really great,” said Yukon athletics coach

McIntyre, the youngest on the team at 14 years old, captured silver in the shot put and in the 5,000-metre, achieving his goal of breaking the 19-minute mark with a time of 18:57.77.

“He was strong throughout and at the finish he sprinted and it was fantastic,” said Gustafson.

McIntyre also claimed fifth in the 1,500-metre and sixth in the standing long jump.

“Darby has been working hard Trevor Twardochleb/Special Olympics Yukon on running with Special Olympics and he also runs with (Athletics Yukon five-pin bowler Garry Chaplin high-fives his coach Yukon coach) Don White, and he Krista McKinnon. has really advanced as a competiCarmen Gustafson. “They had “Jessica’s races in the 100- and tor,” said Gustafson. “Not just in his athletic ability, but his strategy, personal bests throughout and 200-metre were very close.

country were commenting on his abilities and his races. As a 14-year-old, he was surpassing older competitors with much more experience.”

Pruden threw to a bronze in shot put and then teamed up with runners from Saskatchewan to win gold in the 4x100-metre relay.

She also took fourth in the 100- and 200-metre races and fifth in the standing long jump.

“We worked a lot of the jumping and throwing,” said Gustafson.

“We didn’t have access to the proper facilities for that, so we were actually using the beach volleyball courts at Rotary Park. We worked a lot on their technique in the shot put and standing long jump.”

Last week was the first time bocce was included in the national Games and Yukon won hardware in it. The territory came home with a bronze after a 16-4 win over Quebec.

“We had such good camaraderie between Quebec and Yukon,” said Yukon bocce coach Deb Sumner. “We were singing together

and cheering for both teams.

“We played Quebec the day before and Quebec actually beat us.”

It was a tight competition.

Yukon’s team of Aimee Lien, Taylor Amundson, Trevor Beemish and Teresa Roberts had the eventual gold winning Saskatchewan on the ropes and almost made the final.

“When we played Saskatchewan, I think seven or eight times we had game-point,” said Deb. “And then they went away with it.

It was a tough one.”

Yukoners Ernest Chua and Kevin Spoffard were at their fastest in the pool.

The two swimmers each posted personal bests and won medals at their first nationals.

“I’m very impressed with the results,” said Yukon swim coach Kaitlin McDougall. “I’m most impressed with the personal bests that they achieved during the week. They have put in a lot of hard work this past year and the work paid off. I’m just incredibly proud of both Ernest and Kevin for all the hard work they’ve done

to get to where they are.”

Chua took in a silver in the 200-metre freestyle and a bronze in the 50-metre freestyle with a personal best. He also grabbed fourth in the 100-metre backstroke and fifth in the 100 freestyle with a personal best.

Spoffard swam to bronze medals in the 25-metre backstroke and the 50-metre backstroke, with new personal bests in both events.

He also came fifth and sixth in the 50- and 25-metre freestyle races.

“Kevin, in the 50 freestyle and 50 backstroke, had personal bests by eight seconds in each event, which is incredible,” said McDougall. “Both Phil (Whiles) and I have coached this year and we are both proud of the effort they put in this year. Medals are great, but to see a good swim and a solid effort is what we’re there for.”

Yukon’s five-pin bowlers knocked pins en route to hardware. They won Yukon’s first-ever team medal at the national Games and came away with three individual medals as well.

Carrie Rudolph, Garry Chaplin, Hayley Halushka, Lisa Bachli and Tyler Repka won silver in the team event. Chaplin and Halushka then took silvers, and Repka a bronze, in the individual competitions.

Golfer Jean-Sebastien Gallant faced a tough course but improved his score every day in Vancouver.

The 22-year-old carded 73, 62 and a 57 in three nine-hole rounds on his way to fifth in his division.

“He was tied for second the second day and then the other golfers pulled up their socks,” said Yukon golf coach Charlene Donald.

“It was a tough course, very narrow, lots of sand,” she added.

“He saw the bunkers a few times.

The sand traps are so deep and have huge lips on them and we’re just not used to that.

“He did very well to get out of them so easily.”

Team Koltun to host golf tourney this weekend Tom Patrick News Reporter

T

eam Koltun is going from rinks to links this weekend.

The Whitehorse womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling team has another big season planned for the winter and is hosting a fundraiser golf tournament on Saturday to help cover travel and bonspiel entry costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to a lot of high-end bonspiels that cost a lot of money,â&#x20AC;? said Koltun third Chelsea Duncan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traveling to meet up and coming back here to work with (coach/fifth) Lindsay (Moldowan) costs a lot of money.

So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying to raise as much money as possible and possibly get this going as an annual thing.â&#x20AC;?

The team, which includes skip Sarah Koltun, second Patty Wallingham and lead Jenna Duncan, competed at numerous Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Curling Tour events last season and the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

Team Koltun won their eighth consecutive Yukon junior title in their last year of eligibility in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other three girls are going to school somewhat around

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championships, they will also try for a second straight appearance at the Scotties, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling championship.

Team Koltun was the first Yukon rink to reach the Scotties since 2000 this past February.

Hindered by illness, the team still grabbed two wins and had a couple close losses at the cham-

pionship.

The Scotties will feature a new format beginning this year.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottom-four ranked jurisdictions will now compete in a qualifying playdown for entry into the national championship.

This year Yukon, N.W.T., Nunavut and Northern Ontario will compete for a spot. So if Team Koltun wins the Yukon Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championships, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee they will make it into the championship, but will have to travel to the hosting city of Moose Jaw, Sask., to find out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all the four bottom teams weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to go a bit before the event to playdown for one spot to play at the Scotties,â&#x20AC;? said Chelsea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we go into the week not knowing if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go home at the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if we do make it for Yukon, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a guarantee of playing in the Scotties, which is added pressure.â&#x20AC;?

The fundraising tourey will be a nine-hole, best-ball tournament and will take place Saturday afternoon at Meadow Lakes Golf Club.

It will include dinner, as well as longest drive, closest to the pin and putting contests for prizes.

For more information, or to register a team, contact Meadow Lakes at 668-4653. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gordon (Moffatt), Lindsayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad, was golfing at Meadow Lakes and talked to (club manager) Johnny (Enns) and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being super supportive and wants to support our team,â&#x20AC;? said Chelsea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was his idea to have this.â&#x20AC;?

Brazil pulls off World Cup and now awaits a more demanding game with the 2016 Rio Olympics Stephen Wade Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL razil just pulled off the World Cup. Next up is Rio de Janeiro’s 2016 Olympics, which poses an even bigger challenge.

Cement trucks are busy, creating billowing dust clouds, and girders are rising along Avenida Embaixador Abelardo Bueno, the main road running in front of the main Olympic Park in the suburb of Barra da Tijuca.

“It’s going, it’s going,” said a worker at the construction site, wearing an orange helmet, blue overalls and introducing himself as Mauricio Lima.

Rust-orange beams sprouted behind him as he talked, a superstructure that in two years will become the Olympic media and broadcast centres.

“There is a lot to do, but things are moving,” he added.

The World Cup overcame fears about protests, halffinished stadiums and chaotic transport to deliver an exciting tournament that culminated with Germany’s 1-0 victory over Argentina in extra time in the final.

Brazil’s humiliating 7-1 loss against Germany in the semifinals was a blow to the home country, and the collapse a week ago of an overpass – part of a World Cup project in the southeast city of Belo Horizonte – killed two people. Eight workers died in World Cup stadium construction accidents.

Rio’s Olympics have had their own problems.

A few months ago, International Olympic Committee Vice-President John Coates called the city’s preparations the “worst” in memory. Other IOC members openly lambasted Rio. In response, the IOC sent in executive director Gilbert Felli to work as a troubleshooter.

His presence has helped, and Felli expects most projects back on schedule by September.

“I’d like to be clear,” Felli said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Until the games are delivered I’m always concerned. But it’s not the case to say we’re not going to make it. It’s not possible that we won’t make it.”

Felli believes the World Cup gave the Olympics a boost.

“The perception of the Brazilians is much more positive,” Felli said. “It’s good for the games. They have better trust in themselves to deliver the games. My view is to say … the Brazilians will deliver excellent games. But we have to work every day for it. Nothing is a done deal.”

Deadlines are still tight, and Felli described some as “tense, very tense.” The problem areas

Soccer fans of Brazil’s national soccer team react in disbelief as their team trails the Netherlands during a live broadcast of the World Cup soccer match, inside the FIFA Fan Fest area on Copacabana beach, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, last Saturday.

include: • a shortage of hotel rooms • severe water pollution at the sailing venue in Guanabara Bay • a late start at the second large cluster of venues called Deodoro in northern Rio • completion of a subway line extension from central Rio to Barra da Tijuca, site of the Olympic Park • construction of a public golf course several kilometres (miles) from the Olympic Park.

The Rio Games, with events scattered around four venue clusters, could present transportation nightmares in a city cut up by mountains, tunnels and poor roads. About 60 per cent of the events will be at Olympic Park, about 25 kilometres (15 miles) west of central Rio. The Olympic Park and nearby golf course is being built in a wetlands/swamp area.

Small alligators have been spotted wandering around the golf course, and visitors constantly complain about swarming mosquitoes in the Olympic Park area and the neighbouring athletes village.

Other events will be staged at three other clusters: Deodoro; the famous Maracana Stadium area in central Rio; the Copacabana Beach and Guanabara Bay areas.

Track and field will be run at the Joao Havelange Olympic Stadium, which was built in 2007 for the Pan American Games. The stadium, located in the Maracana cluster area, has been closed for a year for renovation and is to open next year.

In the wake of the World Cup, former IOC marketing director Michael Payne warned against complacency.

“The danger would be anybody having a false sense of security,” Payne said. “The Olympics are a far more complicated undertaking to deliver than the World Cup.” For example: • The World Cup involved 736 athletes; the Olympics 10,500.

• The World Cup is one championship; the Olympics are dozens.

• The World Cup drags on for a month; the Olympics are densely packed into just over two weeks.

• Host-generated broadcasting for the World Cup amounted to a few hundred hours; the Rio Olympics will generate about 5,000 hours.

Payne suggested Rio’s Olympic preparations might have “bottomed out” a few months ago, which means the only way is up.

“No disrespect to FIFA and the complexity and what they’ve done,” Payne said. “But the sheer number of events becomes intimidating in the Olympics. It’s a danger if Brazilians think it’s just a bit more complex.”

Brazil is estimated to have spent $11 billion to 14 billion on the World Cup, mostly public money. About $4 billion went to building or refurbishing 12 stadiums.

Olympic spending is about $17 billion • a mix of public and private money. Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes said he expects overall spending to increase by as much as 20 per cent. That would put spending at over $20 billion.

In their winning bid in 2009, Rio officials pitched that the Olympics would be a catalyst for building infrastructure in

Rio, a city neglected for 50 years.

But as costs have risen, and in an election year for President Dilma Rousseff, national, state and local officials have flipflopped. Now they say infra-

structure spending should be viewed separately from direct Olympic spending.

They argue that a subway extension, high-speed bus lanes and a rejuvenated port would have been built anyway and are not Olympic-related expenses.

However, Paes has acknowledged the projects lingered for years and would not have happened without the Olympics.

Dennis Coates, a sports economist at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, warns against countries bidding for mega events like the Olympics or World Cup on the premise they will drive economic growth or spur building of roads and bridges.

“If you need highways and airports, you should be able to build them without throwing a big, expensive party for the rest of the world,” he said. “All that does is add to the cost. But if that’s the only way to convince the public that this is a good idea, than I guess that’s what you do. It’s sad but true.”

Donald Keith (Don) Knutson DECEMBER 5, 1936 – JULY 7, 2014 In his 77th year of living life to its fullest, Don Knutson passed away suddenly at the Whitehorse General Hospital, with his beloved wife and soul mate Margaret at his side.

Don and Marg had just celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary on July 4th.

Don was predeceased by his parents, Wes and Iris Knutson, and by his sister Karen Passmore, who always looked up to her big brother. Don will be deeply missed by Marg, who gave him the support he needed to carry out so much of his work; his sons Doug (Jean Jobagy), Russ (Claudiane Samson), Ken (Trix Tanner), and Thom (Kent Macaulay), who had the best dad, role model and friend anyone could hope for; his grandchildren (Kaitlin, Aven, Tori, Malcolm, Tammy, Sarah, Lou, Clare), for whom Papa will always be a special person in their hearts; brother Ken (Sandy); brother-in-law Terry Passmore; cousin Dennis (Edith) Mackay; extended family, countless friends, colleagues, and former coworkers.

Don was born in Jasper, Alberta, and grew up around a loving extended family. He and Marg began their own family in Edmonton where Don worked for CN Telecommunications. In 1979, Don was transferred to Whitehorse with Northwestel, finishing his 40 year career in 1993. In retirement, Don thrived on his countless volunteer roles, and his many well-deserved awards reflect the passion that Don had for helping others.

Don fought long and hard for the things he cared about, but always with the same smile and witty quips that made people laugh and want to be around him.

ANNUAL YARD Sale, July 26th and 27th from 9am-3pm each day in the Mae Bachur Animal Shelter parking lot. Barbecue and free pet cuddles. All proceeds go toward care of the animals

A celebration of Don’s life and achievements will be held on Thursday, August 14, at 2 p.m., at the Mount McIntyre Rec Centre. Please join us afterwards at Don’s favourite watering hole, the Legion Branch #254, 503 Steele Street.

YUKON QUEER Film Alliance AGM, Monday July 28, 2014, 6:00pm, Whitehorse Public Library, main floor

The family wishes to express its deep appreciation to Dr. Avery and the caring nursing staff at Whitehorse General Hospital, the ambulance crew, and all those who worked to bring the family together in Don’s final moments.

DOG WASH Saturday July 19th from 10am-2pm, The Feed Store/Pet Junction.

Come on down and let our wonderful volunteers wash your pet while you stay clean and dry. All proceeds to Mae Bachur Animal Shelter

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Autism Yukon, the Learning Disabilities Association of Yukon, or a charity of your choice. Book of condolences at www.heritagenorth.ca/obituaries, and at the Celebration of Life.
