A
Whitehorse man accused of second degree murder made his first appearance in a Yukon courtroom today. Michael Thomas MacPherson was in territorial court for only a few minutes, dressed in red jail attire. A publication ban has been placed on the proceedings. He is next scheduled to be in court Aug. 12. MacPherson, 32, turned himself in to the West Shore RCMP detachment on Vancouver Island Friday at noon. He is now back in the Yukon to face charges including the second degree murder of 27-year-old Tanner Sinclair. Sinclair was stabbed to death in the early hours of July 15 at a house in Copper Ridge. Police almost immediately issued a public plea for information on MacPherson’s whearabouts, calling him “armed and dangerous.” Investigators at the time suggested he may have fled to B.C. or Saskatchewan. West Shore RCMP watch commander Sgt. Raj Sandhu said Friday that MacPherson attended the detachment with a lawyer and was arrested without incident. Earlier last week MacPherson’s

Man died of carbon monoxide poisoning: coroner Yukon’s coroner has ruled that a man who died in Dawson City earlier this year was killed by carbon monoxide poisoning. Jay Brown, 52, died on April 23, 2014. Yukon coroner Kirsten Macdonald said Brown’s carboxyhemoglobin level was at 59 per cent, which she called “very high.” Carboxyhemoglobin is the amount of blood that has carbon monoxide attached to it instead of oxygen. Macdonald said there were two potential sources of carbon monoxide at the trailer where Brown was found. One was a wood stove and the other was a generator. “He was running a generator just outside the door and had the door cracked about two inches, so that the electrical cord could run in,” she said. The generator was found in the on position but out of fuel. The trailer did not have a carbon monoxide detector. “So potentially the exhaust could have entered the trailer and made him unwell, or potentially the wood stove,” Macdonald said. (Ashley Joannou)

Gun show patrons eager for looser firearms laws Myles Dolphin News Reporter
T
he federal government’s plan to overhaul gun laws this fall struck a chord among those who attended the fourth annual Summer Gun and Hobby Show, held at the Gold Rush Inn last Saturday. One of the proposed changes to the legislation would give gun owners a certain grace period after their licences expire. Another would ease restrictions on transporting firearms. Paul Rogan, the event sponsor, who also publishes a monthly paper called Canadian Access to Firearms, said the majority of gun people aren’t against gun legislation, per se. “The real problem is the people who do bad things with guns,” he said. “Gun people feel they’re being marginalized, because we’re presented as abnormal, like we have a psychological problem for wanting to own guns.” Rogan is the owner of many guns, including a sub-machine gun that was classified as a prohibited weapon by the federal government in 1991. A grandfather clause allows him to keep it because he owned it prior to that year. “When that legislation came we did some research and we couldn’t find one instance where a crime was committed with a registered sub-machine gun,” he added. Will Bilozir, who runs Bilozir Fine Guns with his wife Donna near Calgary, was at the event to showcase some of the Italian rifles the couple sells.
He said the federal government is repairing years of damage done by previous Liberal governments. “The government of Canada is honoring the long tradition of owning firearms instead of outlawing them,” he said. “The Liberal government of previous years was socially re-engineering Canada so that guns were not an acceptable thing to own. Hunting and shooting was not an acceptable pursuit.” He said the proposed legislation is important because if it isn’t implemented, a future government that isn’t sympathetic to gun owners could punish them. Clients of his have called him up in a panic because their licences expired, and although they had applied for new ones months prior, they were now vulnerable to arrest in certain cases. “You’re not a criminal the day after your driver’s licence expires,” he said. “You can go to jail longer for having an unregistered firearm than you can for assault with a weapon.” Based on June 2014 statistics from the Canadian Firearms Program, there are almost 1.9 million valid firearms licences in Canada, including 6,653 in the Yukon. That translates to 19,627 licence holders per population of 100,000, the highest ratio in Canada by a wide margin. In comparison, the second highest jurisdiction is Newfoundland and Labrador with 14,231 and the lowest is Ontario with 4,317. Over 500 people crammed

Organizer Donovan Dewis said the event is growing and looking better every year. “This room is already booked for next year,” he said, “and 70 per cent of the tables will be booked by next week.” “I like doing the organizing leading up to the show. You don’t know what to expect until you open the door at 10:00 a.m.” The event has already come a long way since its first year, when very little buying and selling took place. With time, however, exhibitors and patrons have established trust and developed closer bonds. This year, at least 12 guns were sold in the first 10 minutes of the show, including a $12,000 antique rifle. Rogan said it’s slowly getting better for Canadian gun owners. “The Conservatives aren’t giving us everything we want, Myles Dolphin/Yukon News but they’re helping.” Jim Ambrose of Whitehorse, right, talks about a rifle with another exhibitor during the fourth annual Summer Gun He said the quality of guns and Hobby Show last Saturday at the Gold Rush Inn. at this show is remarkable. “We may not be very big by into a conference room last browsed roughly 75 tables on gun-show standards,” he said, Saturday to get their firearm display. “as some of the bigger shows needs met lock, stock and barAmong the items at the in the country have 800 or 900 rel. gun-themed flea market were tables.” The gun enthusiasts came shotguns, rifles, handguns, “But you can find a lot of from B.C., Alberta, Manitoba, ammunition, holsters, cleaning Quebec and elsewhere. supplies and other accessories. cheaper stuff there.

$45,000 in fines levied for illegal hunts Sam Riches News Reporter
A tip from the public has led to a former Whitehorse resident being levied a $31,500 fine and a 20-year hunting ban. Former hunting guide James Richards, 51, pleaded guilty on Monday to charges from four hunting trips in which he illegally guided nonresidents. The charges include the illegal transportation of wildlife, providing false or misleading information, and counts related to accompanying or
assisting non-residents in exchange for compensation. The charges fall under the Wildlife Act and the Environment Act. Richards spread out his infractions over four hunting trips, the first dating back to 2006, in the Pelly Mountains. He followed that up with trips into the Coast Mountains west of Whitehorse in 2009, north central Yukon in 2010 and the Pilot Mountain area in 2011. Richards, who was licensed, led unlicensed non-residents hunting for Dall and Stone sheep. He also used a special guide’s licence to hunt for
caribou, moose and grizzly bear in exchange for compensation. A second individual from Alberta, who took part in two of the hunts, was fined $15,000 and handed a 15-year Yukon hunting ban. He is also required to forfeit his Dall and Stone sheep trophies. Richards is prohibited from hunting for 20 years, or until the fines are paid, whichever is longer. While he once worked for a Yukon outfitter, he wasn’t during the hunts with the nonresidents.
Environment Yukon regulations stipulate that only registered Yukon outfitters may provide guided sheep hunting for non-residents. Special guides are also prohibited from acting under their licence for compensation or reward. Ryan Hennings, manager of enforcement and compliance with Environment Yukon, said tips from the public can lead to investigations that result in “significant” events but that this case – the length of the ban and the size of the fine – are the largest he recalls
during his time on staff. Hennings said the Wildlife Act has increased fines for the commercialization of wildlife and the court has a principle that the offender doesn’t benefit monetarily from their activities. “That’s why you see the large fine,” he said. “It’s not something we specifically asked for but using this principle and what he’s done over the years. This was the amount settled by the defence and crown that the court accepted.” Contact Sam Riches at sam@yukon-news.com

each year, though this year’s donation came in earlier due to the current situation: empty shelves and limited funds. The majority of the proceeds were raised at the annual rubber duck race held on Canada Day. The expedited donation was unexpected for Stephen DunbarEdge, the food bank’s executive director, who said the cash will go towards replenishing supplies and paying down the electric bill. “I think it came at just the right moment and out of the blue,� club president Bonnie Venton-Ross said. The Rotary Club also helps with the soup kitchen’s snack program and Christmas dinner. Venton-Ross is hoping momentum will pick up across the city and help bridge the food bank’s current need, she said. More help is also on the way from the Yukon Employees Union Local Y010, who have promised a $700 donation, and challenged other Locals to donate what they can. The Yukon Employees Union has agreed to match the total donations from all union chapters. Union members have also been encouraged to help out by buying $50 in groceries for donation and sharing a photo on the group’s Facebook page. On August 2, the union will go on a shopping spree, using the collected funds to help restore the barren shelves at the food bank.

Chinook run surpasses goal Myles Dolphin News Reporter
A
laska has met its Yukon River chinook salmon escapement goal for only the third time in the past eight years. As of Monday, the number of Canadian-origin chinook counted by sonar near the border village of Eagle stood at 56,197, which surpasses the minimum goal of 42,500 called for in the Pacific Salmon Treaty between Canada and the United States. Under the treaty, Americans have to allow that number of chinook salmon to pass into Canadian waters. The upper end of the escapement range is 55,000 fish. However, the minimum goal had not been reached in five of the past seven years. Dennis Zimmerman, executive director of the Yukon Salmon Sub-Committee, said Canada is now working towards meeting its spawning escapement requirement, now that Alaska has met theirs. “Alaska has a responsibility to put at least 42,500 fish across the border and Canada has a responsibility to put a minimum of 42,500 fish on the spawning grounds,� he said. To date this season there has been no chinook salmon fishing permitted in Canadian portions of the Yukon River watershed. It is the first time ever that the First Nations fishery has been shut down completely. The committee does not expect that to change, said Zimmerman. “Our recommendation (to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans) is to maintain a zero allocation based on conservation concerns. The challenge is that there are significant productivity concerns with these fish.� The salmon run is composed of primarily five-year-old fish, which lay fewer eggs and have smaller offspring. Zimmerman said they would much rather see six, seven and eight-year-olds.

The Whitehorse Rapids Fishway. Thirteen chinook salmon had passed through the fish ladder as of Monday.
“We don’t see the eight-yearolds anymore,� he said, “ and it’s not a good thing that we’re seeing five-year-olds.� Another concern is the maleto-female ratio, which is abnormal, said Zimmerman. Seventy per cent of the fish are male, when it’s preferable to have around 60 per cent. There are also issues with the return-per-spawner, he said. “It used to be that one chinook would produce four but now we’re hovering at around one-toone and even below one in some years.� “It means the fish aren’t as productive and not replenishing themselves at the same degree.� Zimmerman said one year above escapement doesn’t constitute a rebuilding of this run, which is why the sub-committee

is maintaining its zero-allocation recommendation for the time being. Some First Nations have suggested two cycles – or 14 years – with no fishing to replenish the stock. More meetings were taking place this week to discuss the issue, Zimmerman said. This year, for the first time, Alaska introduced a ban on targeted fishing of chinook salmon. Eric Newland, Yukon area management biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said this a feat Alaska has worked hard to achieve. “It means people on the river are choosing not to fish,� he said. “These king salmon are allowed to pass up river and make it into Canada for escapement.� The salmon enter from the Ber-
ing Sea into Alaska waterways and travel as far as 3,000 kilometres to spawning grounds on the border of B.C. and Yukon. Communities along the river rely on the fish for subsistence. Alaskan communities along the Yukon River have returned to regular fishing rules as the chinook run has passed, Newland said. That fishing would target mostly the summer chum salmon run. When 95 per cent of the chinook salmon run has passed through a specific management area, that’s when people are put back on scheduled fishing, he said. More than 137,000 chinook salmon have already been counted at the Pilot Station sonar, which is located almost 200 kilometres from the mouth of the Yukon River.
THE VICTORIA FAULKNER WOMEN’S CENTRE
The preseason estimates suggested that the total run size would be between 60,000 and 120,000 fish. In 1982, the salmon run peaked at around 300,000 fish. As the fish move up river, they start peeling off into various tributaries, said Newland. “It’s another year of very conservative management, even more so than last year.� Last year, despite strict fishing regulations, only 30,000 chinook salmon managed to pass the border. “The harvest this year should remain very low. I think we’re thankful that this year’s run size looks like it’ll be large enough to make some goals.� Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

Four bicycles recovered in Cadence Cycle theft Sam Riches
The four bicycles that were recovered are now back in the shop. Eyre said they were recaptured almost immediately and sustained no damage. Eyre encouraged the public to get in touch if they see any of the remaining bikes, which include four various sizes of Specialized Stump Jumpers, one Specialized P20 BMX, two Banshee bikes, four Rocky Mountain bikes, and one cadet BMX bike. In total, more than $50,000 in bicycles, parts and cash were stolen. Eyre opened the shop on the Monday following the theft with about one-third of his inventory missing. The mid-season theft slowed down any potential sales for the small, privately owned store. Eyre is hopeful the remaining bikes will be recovered, he said. If they aren’t, insurance will be able to cover most of the cost but the store will lose any potential profit. “Profit is what keeps the business alive,” said Eyre. “You lose profit and you’re going to go bankrupt pretty fast.”

Dean Hoogland called it the biggest bike heist he’s witnessed in his time on staff. The owner of Cadence Cycle, Dean Eyre, referred to it as “national-level scale.” On Thursday, July 17, a 17-year-old was arrested in connection to four of the thefts, after police received a tip from the public. Various bicycle parts were also recovered. The 17-year-old is a former employee of the shop, who was recently fired. “He’s around town. I see him every day,” said Eyre. The four bikes recovered including two Specialized Chambers, one Salsa bike and one NS Soda. The bikes are valued between $1,800 and $5,000.

Whitehorse needs a new name Doug Sack t has become painfully obvious to exactly nobody in Whitehorse except me that the Yukon’s capital city has been living a lie for almost 60 years and it is high time something was done to correct what has become a historical absurdity: The name of this town. As every Yukoner from toddler to elder knows, the town was originally named after the upstream canyon and rapids where the white water resembled the flowing manes of white horses running down the Yukon River, showing the way to the golden treasures of the fabled Klondike. That was such a beautiful and poetic way to name a place, it all but obliterated a second option, which was that the town was named for Chief White Horse, the leader of a native band living downstream at the head of reasonable navigation. Although I don’t know where modern historians stand on the chief-versus-horses question – probably not in agreement – I’ve always gone with the horses for the romance of it all and because I’ve only encountered one place in northwestern Canada which was unquestionably named for a great chief. (That would be Pouce Coupe, B.C., which means “cut thumb,” located ten miles south of Dawson Creek.) Accordingly, I was waxing eloquently to my seven-year-old grandson recently as we stood on the edge of Miles Canyon and I explained how his hometown got its wonderful name. “Where are the horses now?” he asked innocently. “Under the water,” I answered. “When they dammed the river years ago to make electricity, the water came up and...”
I
“THEY DROWNED THE HORSES?” he exclaimed in shock. “Well, figuratively, I suppose...” “WHO DROWNED THE HORSES?” “Yukon Electric or the government or somebody. They needed electricity at the time and...” “SO THEY DROWNED ALL THE HORSES?” “Well, not literally...” “So our town is named after a bunch of dead horses?” “Uh...” “They should have called it Deadhorse...” he said with a slight sigh of disgust in his little voice. And that conversation gave birth to this column. As we carried on with our historical walk, I found myself agreeing with his childish perspective and started thinking of alternative names for Whitehorse, since this community hasn’t seen the flowing mane of a white horse in over half a century and roughly half of its existence. Here are some candidates for Whitehorse’s badly-needed name change:
Deadhorse Historically accurate to little minds, perhaps, but probably too morbid for tourism marketing purposes. I can see a tour guide at Miles Canyon telling a full busload: “And here is where our forefathers drowned the horses...”
Walkinghorse
Gifthorse Since 87 per cent of the Yukon’s territorial budget comes in the form of transfer payments from the federal government in Ottawa and most of that is spent on excessive salaries for Whitehorse bureaucrats, Gifthorse would certainly be an accurate new name but not one with a certain future. Sooner or later, Canadian taxpayers are going to find out their hard-earned tax dollars are being used to fund organizations that

I do, however, take issue with Mr. Murray’s implication that his neighbouring politicians are somehow less patriotic than he, or less supportive of veterans, if they do not match Mr. Murray’s flag. And I further take issue with Mr. Martin’s promise ast week local columnist Mr. Murray J.

SECOND THOUGHTS
L
men were singled out for not wearing American flag pins on their lapels. Those congressmen found (foolishly) wandering the halls of congress without a flag on their lapel were loudly branded by certain colleagues as unpatriotic. Enough waves were made and enough shame was heaped that every member eventually wore a pin on their lapel. This enforced patriotism kept snowballing until, eventually, the very “French fries” in the cafeteria were renamed “Freedom fries,” as a good American citizen of any worth could certainly not bring him or herself to speak the name of a country that had failed to join the Iraq War. The issue, of course, is that nobody in this equation became any more patriotic, or any more in support of the troops. It was simply a race to see who could state their devotion to country the loudest and the most prominently. It was an exercise in bluster, no substance. Our situation reminds me of Dr. Suess’s story of the StarBellied Sneetches, wherein a “fix-
it-up chappie” named Sylvester McMonkey McBean came to Sneetchtown with a machine to give Sneetches stars on their bellies. Pre-machine, some Sneetches had no stars, while others were possessed of stars on their bellies. As one can imagine, the machine caused quite a stir, and eventually every Sneetch had at least one star.And then the good Sneetches all raced for a second star, and then a third. The story was, and continues to be, a scathing commentary, in rhyming form, on discrimination. Once we all had one flag proudly flying, how would we be able to tell who amongst us was the most patriotic? The providence of one’s patriotism could only then be displayed, of course, by a second flag. Or a larger flag pole. Or some such contrivance to give the world notice of the occupant’s love of country over their neighbours. Whatever the standard of patriotism, it would be set by those who felt that only they could dictate the bar, and then that standard would be
rigorously enforced by same. To be clear, this is not an article critical of those who choose to express their patriotism or their respect of our troops, this is an article critical of those who try to set a bar for the rest of us based on their own subjective impression of what patriotism looks like. The long and the short of it is that we are all free to express our patriotism in our own way. One man’s flag waving may be another man’s donation to the Legion. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to being Canadian or honouring our veterans. I would encourage local politicians, and all citizens of the Yukon, to pursue their displays of respect in their own way, and to please pay no mind to the flag-police. The end result of that road is each of us having to buy a minimum of six flags for our houses, with a seventh in reserve. And I simply don’t have the room in my garage for all those flags.

B.C. hunters poaching animals in Yukon a big concern: conservation officer Tim Petruk Canadian Press
KAMLOOPS, B.C. ritish Columbia residents authorized to hunt big game in parts of the province that are adjacent to the Yukon routinely cross the territorial boundary to kill animals, says a Whitehorse conservation officer. Kris Gustafson was the lead investigator in the case against Abe Dougan, a Kamloops, B.C., guide facing a dozen federal wildlife charges related to allegations that he illegally killed a Dall sheep in the Yukon in 1999. Gustafson, who has spent the last 35 years patrolling the Yukon wilds for illegal hunting, is now testifying at Dougan’s poaching trial in provincial court in Kamloops. Dougan has said the sheep was killed in northwestern B.C., where he was licensed to hunt sheep. One of two photos entered as evidence at his trial shows him with a sheep near a mountain that is in the Yukon – 18 kilometres north of the B.C.-Yukon boundary. Gustafson, who is director of conservation-officer services for Environment Yukon, said outside court that cross-boundary poaching is a big concern. “We have concerns respecting any illegal harvesting of wildlife – and that’s a big one.” He told court he was the driving force behind a Yukon conservation campaign set up in the 1980s to keep B.C. hunters in their own province. It included a program that involved setting up signs along

the boundary and on the shores of float-plane-friendly lakes warning hunters they were no longer in B.C. Court has heard that in 1999, Dougan received special authorization via lottery to hunt sheep in a specific part of northwestern B.C. between the Yukon and Alaska borders. He bagged a Dall sheep,
which was the second-largest ever recorded in B.C. The score made its way into the pages of the fifth edition of Big Game Records of British Columbia, when it was published in 2003. In 2011, conservation officials in the Yukon received a tip from an anonymous tipster telling them to look closely at the B.C. record book – specifi-

matching spot. In July 2011, a team of three investigators, including Gustafson, flew by helicopter to the site, 18 kilometres north of the B.C.-Yukon boundary. They took photos from what the Crown says is the exact location the photographer who shot Dougan’s picture would have been standing. The Crown maintains the mountains depicted in the backgrounds are identical, and prosecutor Lesley Ann Kilgore called the area geographically “unique.” Court has heard after hunting the sheep, Dougan was required to tell B.C. officials where it was killed. He gave them a location in the section of northwestern B.C., where he was authorized to hunt. Defence lawyer Kevin Church has questioned the authenticity of the photos and said investigators failed to visit the location where Dougan claimed to have killed the sheep. “They don’t ever go to where Mr. Dougan says he shot this sheep,” he told court. “They never even try.” Lawyers will meet this week to set a date for the trial to resume.

People started spending more time indoors and it definitely had an impact on people’s creativity.” Now a mother of two, Roberts is inspired by her children and interested in exploring the internal and external components of landscape.
“I found that as soon as I moved up here, the landscape required some kind of response, more so than other places I’d lived in.” “I found the publishing industry a lot more competitive there,” she said. “It appears as though their funding for contemporary poetry isn’t as good as it is here. They’re really limited in what they can publish.” Roberts has German friends who read and compared the English and Ger-
“The romantic poets used to use weather to reflect their current state of emotion,” she said. “The words we use to describe the feelings evoked by the landscape suggest an interior element.” She would love to see her future work published in other languages, such as French and Japanese. “People have told me there’s a zen-like quality to my writing,” she said, “very much like a haiku.” “I never meant to do that, it came naturally. It seemed like language was so foreign to foist onto this amazing place (Yukon), I wanted to be careful with the words I used because I didn’t want to overwhelm what I was describing with long line breaks.” Roberts is currently working with renowned Canadian poet Don McKay on her latest manuscript.

LIFE A feast of fun and tradition Thousands flocked to Moosehide Gathering in Dawson over the weekend
Alistair Maitland/Yukon News
All are welcome at Moosehide Village for the gathering, but drugs and alcohol are not.
Alistair Maitland News Reporter
T
he Tr’ondek Hwech’in shared their land, culture and heritage at the Moosehide Gathering this past weekend. Throngs of people were shuttled by a small armada to Moosehide Village. It was a short boat ride down the Yukon River, even shorter if speedy volunteer captain Kevin Blanchard was at the helm. Moosehide Village is a spiritual haven for the Tr’ondek Hwech’in and as such, drug and alcohol use is not permitted – nor required for enjoyment. Elders live there in small cabins during the summer and their ubiquitous presence gave an ambiance of calm and peace. A sacred fire crackled and burned for the duration of the gathering under the watchful eyes of Tr’ondek Hwech’in youth tasked with its keeping. Every morning was filled with workshops for beading, drum making, fiddle playing and more. Every afternoon and evening offered an impressive showcase of regalia, dancing, drumming and storytelling from performers from Yukon, Alaska and beyond. Special musical guests from Iqaluit, The Jerry Cans, easily got the crowd to their feet. As equally impressive as the performances was the daily evening feast. Everything about it was mind boggling: the quantity, the quality – great moose meat – and the service. Served by some of the 220 volunteers, Tr’ondek Hwech’in prepared and shared food for an estimated 1,500 people at the peak of the festivities on Saturday.

She invariably will enough time to reread “Mobyyell at me to “grab that� and Dick.� answer her phone for her. But somehow your question got to her. She has used the expression herself, and your point has not frightened her into abandoning it. Upon reflection, she thinks that the part about wanting to thank emphasizes that it is not being said in a perfunctory way, but out of a genuine desire to express gratitude.

MANNERS
DEAR MISS MANNERS: When offered a box of chocolate, does one pick up the candy and leave the brown paper behind, thus maintaining order in the box and accounting for those that are missing? Or does one remove the candy with the paper so as not to soil one’s fingers? Should gloves be removed first? How does one dispose of the paper when finished? GENTLE READER: Chocolates are not strictly subject to accountability. They may be picked up with the paper or not as you prefer. The paper, if taken, may then be returned to the box or held until a suitable receptacle is found. Miss Manners is inclined to be flexible with chocolates, but not with gloves. They should always be removed before eating or drinking. You would learn that the hard way if you tried to remove chocolate stains from kid gloves. DEAR MISS MANNERS: My son recently married his partner of many years, but now I do not know what to call him. Do I say my son-in-law when I mention
When I pick up a friend’s phone, it is not difficult to say, “Rachel can’t talk now,� or, if I know the caller, to strike up a little conversation of my own. But in the office, it is usually her husband or one of her three children who is calling. I never know how to answer, and usually fall back on my regular office-phone response: “Repair office, this is Susie.� All this does is confuse whoever is calling her. I have contemplated saying a simple “hello� or “hi,� but I am afraid this would involve interrupting the caller seconds later to explain that I am not who they think I am. She has caller ID, so answering business calls is not such a problem. What would be the best way to answer personal ones? GENTLE READER: Your professional response may confuse some callers, although it might also cause the university (or at least your supervisor) to reexamine the wisdom of conducting office business on personal
telephones. That would be preferable to dealing with the consequences of your inadvertently becoming party to something so personal that it embarrasses your careless co-worker. Failing that, Miss Manners would recommend the more neutral, “Hello, this is Rachel’s line. May I take a message for her?� DEAR MISS MANNERS: I was raised that a “bridal tea� meant come and go, mingle, eat, no gift. A “shower� indicated a gift, come and stay, play games, eat. When did the procedure change? I am thoroughly confused over the new standard of coming to a “tea� with a gift (which is usually your wedding gift). Am I wrong? Or are we so uncouth and untrained that anything goes and there is no polite society anymore? GENTLE READER: It is true that there is a lot of impolite
society around — people who do not think it worth having guests unless the guests arrive bearing gifts. Thus the form of the shower is used so consistently that everyone has begun to believe that there is no other way to honor a bride or an expectant mother. This has confused even those who merely want to celebrate, driving them to ask Miss Manners how they can indicate that at the showers they are planning, no presents are expected. So the distinction you learned is important: A shower is associated with presents, but a luncheon or a tea to honor someone should not be. It is unfortunate that you and Miss Manners are the only people who seem to remember that.

S
ummer is more than half over, and while you may have survived music festival season, Yukoners know better than to let the precious weeks of August slip by. If there’s anything left on that summer bucket list, now’s your chance, while the light still holds and the days are still warm…ish. Out of inspiration? Fear not – here are seven ideas of how to take advantage of some of the top outdoor opportunities Canada has to offer – right in the Yukon’s own backyard.
Mountain bike your legs off Most Yukoners are already aware of the world-class network of trails available out the door and down the road. Lung-busting, brake-burning trails like those on Montana Mountain get a lot of press, but the Yukon is also home to a vast collection of pine strewn, flowy, single track that cyclists of all skill levels can enjoy. For those unfamiliar with the vast spiderweb of trails check out the Whitehorse Recreational Trail Guide app. This smartphone app ($9.99) details roughly 700 kilometres of trails in Whitehorse. The best part is, it can use your mobile’s GPS to show you exactly where you are – a vital thing for those of us left scratching our heads (or helmets) when faced with tricky triple-trail intersections. If you’re an intermediate rider looking for inspiration, try putting together rides that will eventually …continued on page 20.

Let’s face it, one of the biggest perks of living in a place as remote as the Yukon is the immediate access to healthy, delicious fish. In 2012, 9,242 Yukoners carried fishing licences – the highest participation rate anywhere in Canada. As most recreational anglers know, fishing is a great excuse to head to a nearby lake and feed the mosquitoes while trying to feed yourself. An annual fishing licence will cost Yukoners about as much as a plate of fish and chips ($15). A day pass only costs $10 for any Canadian resident. The Yukon Fishing Regulation Book will provide fishermen and women with great descriptions of local fish species as well as maps of several popular and accessible fishing destinations.

VICTORIA hen the warm weather arrives, Canadians love to head outdoors to cook. But many end up frustrated when the meat they’re eagerly anticipating sticks to the grill or ends up charred or undercooked. One remedy is to know how long to cook different cuts of meat and what temperature to use. But it’s also important to have the proper tool to achieve the desired result, says Ken Hueston, owner of Smoken Bones Cookshack in Victoria. “Most people don’t know the difference between barbecuing and grilling,” says Hueston. “When you barbecue you are cooking with a slow circumvented unit of hot air with the lid closed.

the lid up and you’re cooking with direct heat on the bottom, instead of all around the source. “You grill a steak and you barbecue a pork butt.” Hueston says not every grill is equipped to both grill and barbecue. If the device has one burner, Hueston says it is a grill, not a barbecue. “When you are purchasing a barbecue you have to know what kind of foods you really like doing,” he says. “If you are more of a griller you need something with a lot of space and various heat components you can control. “When you are barbecuing you are looking for a large space that you can put larger cuts in or a rotisserie attachment and the ability to control the different techniques you are going to use in the slow cooking process.” Knowing what purpose a homeowner’s barbecue or grill will serve will also help in deciding what, if any, additional attachments are worth investing in. Like many people, Jessica Pelland, a “Chopped Canada” winner, is in the market for a new grill.
Empowering private home sellers for over
16 YEARS
“I’ve had a hand-me-down for about seven years now,” says the executive chef of Charbar in Calgary. “It’s not always the brand name that makes a great barbecue. You can find some good deals. But be realistic about what you’re going to use it for. “There are lots of grills with fancy attachments like smoking things and side burners, but you have to think ‘are you really going to use that? Is it worth the extra $400 or whatever for that?”’ According to Pelland, an easy way to get an idea of the durability of a barbecue or grill is simply by touching it. She says if it feels light, flimsy and wobbly then it’s not going to last. Homeowners should look for something that is sturdy. When it comes to the actual cooking, both Pelland and Hueston say the No. 1 thing people need to do to achieve the perfect grilled or barbecued meat is to not play with it or move it around as it cooks. “They need to leave it be and get its grill marks,” says Pelland. “If you are flipping it and it sticks a little to the grill it means it’s not ready.”
It’s only fair! This is SMART real estate... repairing a broken industry.

Team Yukon finishes Indigenous Games with 11 medals

Yukon’s Jaylene Kelly leaves the blocks in a track race at the North American Indigenous Games last week in Regina, Sask. Team Yukon won 11 medals at the Games.
Tom Patrick News Reporter
T
eam Yukon was one short of an even dozen at the 2014 North American Indigenous Games last week. Yukon athletes collected 11 medals at the multi-sport event that finished Sunday in Regina, Sask. The 11 medals put Yukon 12th out of 20 contingents from Canada and the U.S. at the Games, which saw 5,000 athletes compete in 15 sports. Yukon sent a team of 78, including 44 athletes, to the Games. That’s down from the 130 sent to the 2008 Games, when Yukon won a record 49 medals. “This is one of the smallest teams we’ve taken,” said Yukon Chef de Mission Charly Kelly. “Interest has waned. We have a lot of Games we’re going to – Arctic Winter Games fell between trying to make this team.” Yukon won four gold med-
als in Regina, three of which came in a sport the territory was competing in for the first time. Three Yukon paddlers won gold medals in tandem canoe racing. “I’m very happy with the results,” said Yukon canoe coach Dan Girouard. “We’ve been training since the end of April … We didn’t know what to expect because we haven’t competed as a group together. Through training and some local races here and there, the kids were ready for the competition and did very well.” Yukon’s Jacy Sam helped win all three paddling golds. She teamed up with William Connellan to win the 1,000and 6,000-metre in mixed U19, and with Alice FrostHanberg to take gold in the 3,000-metre for U19 females. Sam and Frost-Hanberg also paddled to silver in the 6,000-metre and bronze in Yukon’s Corvin Dick takes aim at a three-dimensional target of a deer. the 1,000-metre.

Jacy Sam and Alice Frost-Hanberg paddle towards one of five medals won by Yukon in tandem canoe races.
“I knew Jacy, Will and Alice had something going for them because they have that competitive drive,” said Girouard. “So do the others, but you could tell they picked up the sport easier than the others. “The level of competition was better than I expected and being at a world class facility in Regina was great for the kids too. It gave them a good perspective of what sprint racing is and it gave them a taste of the paddling world. They want to keep going and compete at the Western Canada Games next summer.” Yukon’s other gold came in archery. Teslin’s Destiny Taylor, 15, shot 474 out of 500 for gold in the traditional recurve competition for U19 females. “She’s been practicing in Teslin with Sam Johnston; Sam is a very strong advocate for archery,” said Yukon archery coach Les Johns. Yukon’s next top finishing archer was 12-year-old Kate Hannah of Whitehorse with a fifth place result for recurve in the U16 females. “She just turned 12,” said Johns. “When we advertised for these (Games), we didn’t get a very big response. We didn’t get anyone from the Whitehorse Archery Club to try out, we got people from the communities. Kate was the only one in the archery club that tried out.” Whitehorse’s Jaylene Kelly sped to two silver in Regina. The 17-year-old member of Yukon’s athletics team took silver in the 400-metre and the six-kilometre cross-country race in the U19 female division. “These Games are just really unique because of the cultural (aspects),” said Jaylene. “There were these huge teepees lined

up in a row. At the opening ceremonies they had First Nation dancers and it was really amazing.” Jaylene, who was competing in her first Indigenous Games, also placed fourth in the 100and 200-metre races. Teammate Dana Sellars pocketed a bronze in the 800-metre for U14 females. Sellars also went the distance and placed fourth in the twokilometre cross-country race. Yukon’s rifle shooters were on aim at the Games, collecting more top-five finishes than any other Yukon squad, with nine. “They did very well,” said Yukon shooting coach Gordon Reed. “We didn’t train as long as some of the other teams. The people we were compet-
ing against … were training for three years. We started our training early this year and I think we did really well in spite of that. “If you look at the fact that we were in the top 10 for all our competitors, we did very well. The fact that we got some medals is even better.” Of the top-five positions, two resulted in bronze medals. Yukon’s Shadunjen Maria Bernadette van Kampen shot to third in the prone and in the overall for U19 females in the 50-metre, .22 caliber competition. The 16-year-old was edged out of a third bronze with a fourth place finish in the three-position shooting competition. Rifle teammate Cordell Duke Jules of Teslin placed

fourth in the three-position and overall in U16 males and took fifth in prone. Yukon’s Jessa Klugie, Aleshia Kremer and Chris Fairclough all shot to fifth place results in their respective divisions. Yukon sent a softball team to the Games for the first time but failed to grab a win and placed in the bottom spot in the U19 competition. The Yukon fast-pitch team took four straight losses, the closest being 20-13 to Team Eastern
Door and the North of Quebec. Yukon’s U19 female volleyball team opened the tournament with a pair of tight losses, dropping three-setters to Team Newfoundland and Labrador and Team Alberta. They then picked up a win through default by Florida before three more losses in a second round-robin pool eliminated Yukon. Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Zach Bell back on track at Commonwealth Games Tom Patrick News Reporter
B
efore hopping a plane to Europe, Zach Bell hadn’t raced track since last summer’s Canadian championships. The Watson Lake cyclist, who has focused on road racing the last two years, is still among the fastest in the velodrome at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, taking place in Glasgow, Scotland. “It has been good,” said Bell in an email to the News. “There is a young, inexperienced Canadian team so I have had a big role to play. I have also really liked getting back into the bunch racing.” Bell logged three top-10 finishes in three races last week in Glasgow. He helped the Canadian men’s team take fourth in the 4,000-metre team pursuit on Thursday. He then rode to fifth in the 40-kilometre points race, to finish as the top Canadian, on Saturday. Bell then placed 10th in the 20-kilometre scratch race on Sunday, a race in which teammate Remi Pelletier-Roy of Longueuil, Que., won a bronze. “That was part of a team effort that led to my fellow Canadian getting a medal,” said Bell. “So it may not look good on paper but Commonwealth Games is one of the only events where you have teammates on the track. We raced a team strategy in that event, that meant towards the end he was better placed to medal and so I worked for him to ensure we got that medal.” Bell is now preparing to get back on pavement with a pair of road races to end the Games. He will race the time trial Thursday and road race Sunday. “The road race and time trial will both be challenging events for me,” said Bell. “I have spent most of the last two years working on my road racing but most of the last two months The Yukon home of

We will have a good group for the road race though so I will look to contribute a great deal towards an overall Canadian result.” Glasgow marks Bell’s third Commonwealth Games.

Moira is an official for weightlifting and Jeane, an Olympic weightlifter who retired last year, is doing commentary for the host broadcaster. “I’ll be in game mode after tomorrow,” said Laverdure in an email to the News. “But everything is good, the village is good, etc. I saw Jeane Lassen, Moira Lassen, and Zach is two apartments over. I saw some weightlifting and caught a ride home with Jeane.” Bell is also getting support from one of the smallest cycling fans in the stands. Wife Rebecca and daughter Lucy, who was born June 18, are there to cheer Zach on. “It was great to have another fan as my daughter and wife made the trip,” said Zach. “I have wanted to race with my children in the crowd for a long time and even though she is too young to realize it, I still felt a unique sense of pride out there. “It is also great to see the other Yukon athletes here,” he added. “Brittanee is in the building just beside me and we both compete on the 31st. And Jeane is here some place doing commentary. Such a great thing to still see Yukon athletes in the mix at a summer Games.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com
