“I know Morrison Hershfield has done a lot of good work for us but it goes against every fibre in my body to go for sole-sourcing,” he said.

“Being part of the private sector that relies on the competitive process that allows me to get my jobs done, I’d just like a bit more information as to why you think these guys walk on water.”

Clohosey said the firm had completed a number of projects for the city over the years and their staff was familiar with curbside collection programs elsewhere in the country.

Mayor Dan Curtis said that over 60 per cent of citizens mentioned during the budget consultations currently underway that they’d be willing to pay for a curbside collection service.

Under the city’s solid waste action plan, the municipality is trying to divert half of all waste from the landfill by 2015. The Yukon government has made the same pledge.

During question period on Monday, the NDP Opposition’s critic for community services, Kevin Barr, asked Environment Minister Currie Dixon if the government planned to uphold its promise.

“What we’re focused on is taking steps that will benefit the long-term health of the Yukon and focus on taking steps that will improve the structure of our recycling regime in the territory,” said Dixon.

“Whether that takes a year, two years or three years, that’s less important than making those important decisions – those important decisions about Yukon’s future and about the recycling regime in the territory.”

Cornell sentenced to 11.5 years in prison Ashley Joannou News Reporter

C

hristopher Cornell was sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison yesterday for shooting at an RCMP police car during a high-speed chase near Haines Junction in 2011.

The 33-year-old was found guilty of eight charges he faced at trial earlier this year.

That includes two counts of attempted murder, one of RCMP Cpl. Kim MacKellar and the second for deputy conservation officer Shane Oakley.

Oakley and MacKellar were pursuing Cornell and his thengirlfriend Jessica Johnson following a robbery at Madley’s General Store where the janitor was attacked with bear spray.

That’s when Cornell fired a rifle out the back of the SUV he was in, hitting the radio box on the dashboard of the police car.

“Particles of glass, plastic and metal fragments hit and penetrated Cpl. MacKellar in the face, eyes and body,” Judge Leigh Gower said in his decision.

“While Cpl. MacKellar was wearing a flack jacket which protected his torso, he was injured by flying pieces of metal which penetrated his exposed left shoulder.”

He was be medevaced to Van-

Man sentenced for assaulting nurse A Whitehorse man was sentenced yesterday for punching a nurse at Whitehorse General Hospital.

Todd Brownrigg was sentenced to 90 days for assault. But, with the time he has already spent behind bars, that’s considered time-served.

On July 26 the 47-year-old was brought to the hospital with a cut on his head. He was intoxi-

couver and underwent multiple surgeries to remove the shrapnel from his body, including his eyes.

Johnson was originally scheduled to go on trial alongside Cornell. But on the day the trial was scheduled to begin she pleaded guilty to some of the lesser charges. She was sentenced to five years in prison.

Cornell’s sentence was based on a plea bargain between both sides.

The only question that remained was how long Cornell, who was found to be a long-term offender, would be under the watchful eye of the corrections system once he is released.

The Crown was asking for the maximum of 10 years. Defence was asking for half that.

In the end Gower sided with the Crown and imposed the maximum. After all, he said, if Cornell does well on the conditions he can apply to have it shortened some time in the future.

Gower spent much of his decision discussing Cornell’s history and his prospects for rehabilitation once he is eventually released.

He went over Cornell’s troubled childhood in detail. Cornell’s father was a heavy drinker and his mother drank when he was young, though she is now sober.

“Mr. Cornell has a limited recollection of his childhood years.

He says he was bounced around with relatives and foster homes when not living with his mother.

He also reported that the relatives on both sides of his family were into partying and heavy drinking.

He regularly witnessed incidents of violence during these parties,” the judge said.

Cornell says he started drinking and smoking marijuana at eight or nine years old.

The judge noted Cornell’s extensive criminal record – 39 charges since 1994.

After 1994 he would get at least one criminal conviction a year with the exception of 1998 and 2000, Gower said.

Cornell’s drinking continued until he developed stomach ulcers at 18 and stopped.

He continued to do drugs: marijuana, crack cocaine and eventually heroin.

While in jail at the Whitehorse Correctional Centre, Cornell admits he was not the model inmate, Gower said.

“On the other hand he also believes that he has been a victim of discrimination and has been unfairly treated by certain guards and officials at WCC. Indeed, he has served a total of 284 days in solitary confinement as a result

of various internal offences,” the judge said.

Cornell has been in custody for 27 months and 27 days.

Gower noted that Cornell’s behaviour has been improving recently.

The court heard that Cornell still disputes some of the things that came out during his trial.

“Put simply, Chris is not accepting responsibility for some of the more serious offences, including the attempted murder of Cpl. MacKellar,” Gower said quoting from one report.

A psychiatric assessment of Cornell was not all negative. In fact, the doctor who completed the report expressed some optimism that he would be able to get his life back under control following the intensive treatment available in federal prison.

Dr. Shabehram Lohrasbe concluded that the “likelihood of Mr. Cornell committing a future act of violence is high unless sustained and fundamental changes occur,” Gower said.

Yet the doctor was “cautiously hopeful” that Cornell would respond to treatment in prison.

He pointed out a number of factors, including that Cornell is intelligent, will benefit from aboriginal-based treatment programs in prison and is aware that

this is his last chance.

When testifying in court, the doctor said the high-intensity treatment in prison will benefit Cornell.

He testified that “I expect him to succeed” and “I will be more surprised if he re-offends,” according to the judge’s decision.

Lohrasbe said supervision once Cornell is released will help him stay on the right path. It’s something that “ideally should go on indefinitely,” he said.

Since “indefinitely” is not an option, Gower gave Cornell the maximum of 10 years supervision as part of being a long-term offender.

“If indeed Mr. Cornell does as well as defence counsel expects, it seems to me that he would have a very good chance of shortening or terminating the LTSO,” he said.

“On the other hand, if he does encounter difficulties along the way then we can expect that steps will be taken by the parole board to assist him in coming back into line before he commits a further criminal offence.”

With credit for the time he has already spent behind bars, Cornell has about eight years left in his sentence.

cated and had to be held in full restraints, said prosecutor Joanna Phillips.

He was let out of the restraints to go to the washroom. On his way back he threatened the nurse and a doctor and struck the nurse with a closed fist.

Brownrigg’s lawyer, Gord Coffin, said his client has no recollection of what happened, but admits his guilt.

He was taken to the hospital that day after falling down the

stairs at the Chilkoot Trail Inn in Whitehorse. Witnesses say he may have had some sort of seizure when he landed, Coffin said.

He says he has no recollection between standing at the top of the steps and waking up in police cells.

He wasn’t diagnosed with a concussion, but that seems likely, the lawyer said. For about a month afterwards he felt dizzy, had headaches and vision problems.

Brownrigg told the court he is “very ashamed” of what happened and that he has a great deal of respect for nurses. He said he wishes he could apologize to the nurse.

In sentencing Brownrigg, Judge Michael Cozens said he accepts that he is remorseful.

The judge noted that his last conviction was for impaired driving in 2010. Aside from that, his criminal record stops in 2006.

Brownrigg will be on probation for one year. He is banned from attending the hospital unless it is for medical treatment and cannot have contact with the nurse unless it’s at an agreed time in order to apologize.

Whistleblowing law still not good enough: ombudsman Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

T

he Yukon government has tabled long-awaited whistleblower legislation, but it still needs some tweaking, says the territory’s ombudsman.

Diane McLeod-McKay released her comments on the law this week.

The Public Interest Disclosure of Wrongdoing Act is supposed to protect Yukon government employees who speak out against corruption and wrongdoing in the public service.

An earlier discussion document suggested that the commissioner responsible for investigating allegations would only have the power to make recommendations to the public body where the wrongdoing took place.

If, for example, a public servant was fired for exposing a corrupt boss, the commissioner would only have the power to suggest to that same boss that the employer get her job back and be compensated for the lost work.

That wasn’t good enough, McLeod-McKay said earlier this year.

And indeed the government has made changes in the tabled legislation so that binding orders are possible.

If the public entity does not agree with the commis-

sioner’s recommendation, then the commission can refer the matter to an arbitrator. That arbitrator would then investigate and have the power to make a binding order. “That should at least give public service employees some comfort knowing that if they do make a wrongdoing disclosure and they are reprised against, that they will have a binding order if necessary,� said McLeod-McKay in an interview Tuesday.

But an issue remains.

In its current form, the law gives no time limit for the government to implement the commissioner’s recommendations, after it has agreed to them.

It must only follow through “as soon as is reasonably practicable,� according to the act. “I think that’s a bit of a loose end,� said McLeod-McKay. Remedying a situation where an employee has been wrongfully punished is “very serious,� and there should be a deadline to comply, she said. Further, the commissioner must have the power to refer to an arbitrator if that deadline is not met.

Another issue with the act are the strict limitations on going public with a concern, said McLeod-McKay. “It makes it nearly impossible for an individual to be able to publicly disclose in the event

Jesse Winter/Yukon News

Yukon’s ombudsman Diane McLeod-McKay isn’t satisfied with the territory’s whistleblower legislation.

of an imminent risk of harm.�

Not only must there be a specific and immediate threat that makes it impossible to disclose to a supervisor first, but the employee must disclose to the appropriate law enforcement agency, and that disclosure is not protected if the employees breaks any law in doing so.

Asking an employee to ensure that no law is broken is unreasonable in an urgent situation of potential danger, said McLeod-McKay. “I don’t think an individual would actually go forward

with that kind of a disclosure because the consequences are, if you get it wrong, you’re not protected by the act.�

The wording should be changed so that an employee should not knowingly break any laws when making a disclosure, she said.

Further, the law as tabled allows for future regulations to limit the commissioner’s power to investigate. “I don’t think that should be allowed,� said McLeod-McKay. That could impede a proper investigation, and those powers should be set by law, she said.

It remains to be seen if this sort of legislation will accomplish its goals, not only in the Yukon but across the country, the ombudsman said.

But the Federal Accountability Initiative for Reform (FAIR), an organization that has advocated for Canadian whistleblowers since 1998, said this country’s whistleblower protection laws are not only ineffective but harmful.

The laws are structured to silence whistleblowers, not protect them, said David Hutton, the group’s executive director, in an interview with the News earlier this year. “It just becomes a black hole where whistleblowers go and their allegations die, and they die with them,� he said. “Whistleblowers in Canada today are significantly worse off than 10-15 years ago: their common law rights have been narrowed and the whistleblower laws that are claimed to protect them do the opposite, forcing them into secretive administrative procedures that deny them due process, facilitate rather than prevent reprisals, and seem designed to keep damaging disclosures hidden from public view,�

Hutton wrote in a 2013 report produced for an Alberta think tank.

Squabbles may lead to First Nation split, warns family head Myles Dolphin News Reporter

Y

ears of infighting may ultimately lead to a breakup of the Ta’an Kwach’an Council, according to one traditional family head.

Bonnie Harpe, head of the Susie Jim family, said the damage done over the past decade is irreversible.

“That’s the whole reason we’re not successful as a government, because we can’t get along,” she said.

“Some of the families are with you on certain things, then against you on others. We’re being labelled as difficult to deal with because we’re open, honest and vocal about issues and they don’t like it.”

Fighting between the First Nation’s six traditional families boiled over during a five-day special general assembly held at the end of October.

On the second day, families couldn’t agree on an agenda and

Alberta woman sentenced over fraudulent cheques A Yukon Territorial Court judge praised an Alberta woman for taking responsibility for her actions, improving her life, and turning herself in for a crime she committed eight years ago.

But Judge Michael Cozens ruled that he still had to give the woman a criminal record for writing fraudulent cheques to steal money from her Yukon employer in 2006.

Dawn Morgan was working for Alaska Canada Rail Link. Part of her duties included working

the assembly was adjourned by consensus.

The other traditional families are the Jenny Dawson family, the Chief Jim Boss family, the Jenny Lebarge family and the Maggie Broeren family.

The Undeahel family is the only one that does not actively participate, according to Chief Kristine Kane.

Harpe said she’s had discussions with members of the Maggie Broeren family to consider other options, such as leaving the First Nation altogether.

“We want to distance ourselves but we don’t know how, yet,” she said.

“We want to look at the possibility of forming our own band because we know we’re never going to get anywhere otherwise.

We’ve tried.”

Dave Bunbury is a member of the Maggie Broeren family who attended the latest general assembly. He confirmed there have been early talks about the possibility of leaving the band.

He even brought it up at the general assembly, he said.

“It’s been 12 years since our land claims were settled by the TKC, and it hasn’t adhered to one agreement,” he said.

“We have no housing, no social programs other than what the Department of Indian Affairs said we could administer, and we have people suffering. I suggested that they give us our name back, give us our money back and our share of the land.

“They can have the rest and leave us alone, we’ll go our own way.”

He said he also told the assembly he would start putting together a list of names, made up of people who are unhappy within the First Nation.

“We have a number of members who are homeless,” he said, “who spend the night at the Sally Ann.” The last successful general assembly – where legislation was passed – took place in 2001, Harpe said, during the time she

was chief. Bunbury said it was even earlier, in 1999.

He said the recent general assembly came to a grinding halt when members of his family weren’t given proper answers to his questions.

“We wanted to know why one of our members had been accused of uttering threats to a Ta’an Kwach’an staff member,” he said.

In late September, the Ta’an Kwach’an Council office was temporarily closed following a threat to its staff.

Some of the band members on social assistance are now afraid to go back to the TKC office because they fear they’ll be accused of uttering threats, too, Bunbury said.

“None of them would hear it and Chief Kristina Kane wouldn’t answer us,” he said.

“Her tactic was to keep quiet.

In her capacity as chief she didn’t step forward and address it.

“Any good leader would do that. She preaches unity in the paper yet she wouldn’t speak to us.”

Harpe, who now lives in Edmonton, said there is too much secrecy within the First Nation and trust between some of the families has completely eroded.

She said the First Nation never contacted her about the latest general assembly.

She said she called the band office to find out which address they had on file, but they wouldn’t tell her. She’s also concerned about the lack of information on the First Nation’s website.

Last week, Chief Kane told the News the First Nation is required to contact every family at least 30 days before a general assembly.

She said notices were placed in newspapers, local radio stations, the TKC website and through the mail.

Kane said her role as chief of the First Nation is to maintain neutrality and respect everyone’s opinion, but she isn’t at liberty to speak about the infighting between families.

on the payroll.

Over several weeks Morgan and an ex-boyfriend wrote three bogus cheques to themselves from company funds totalling approximately $9,000.

Morgan says she was pressured by her boyfriend.

She was arrested, but ran from the Yukon.

Now 41 years old, Morgan turned herself into police in June of this year. She said she wanted to put that part of her life behind her.

After a troubled childhood and early life, she has been sober and working a steady job for

five years. She is now in a stable relationship.

Cozens said Morgan is now a contributing member of society with a bright future. Restitution has already been paid.

Her lawyer was asking for a conditional discharge. The Crown was asking for a ninemonth sentence to be served in the community.

Cozens said he was sympathetic to the positive steps Morgan has taken, but that this case was not exceptional enough to consider not giving her a criminal record.

He sentenced her to 180 days to be served at home. She will have a 9 p.m. curfew and have to do 20 hours of community service. Considering the time she already spent in custody, there are 146 days left in the sentence.

“I think you’ve done remark-

ably well,” Cozens said. “You should be proud of yourself.”

They were orphaned in July when Yukon conservation officers were forced to shoot and kill their mother.

The sow had begun eating out of garbage cans, and returned to residential neighbourhoods even after the conservation officers tried to relocate the family.

“In their new home in Canadian Wilds, the bears will become ambassadors, educating zoo visitors on how to allow bears to remain wild animals,” the zoo’s statement said.

Spokesperson Trish ExtonParder said the cubs don’t have names yet. The zoo considered running an open contest to come up with a name. But since the cold is coming, the bears are settling into their winter hibernation so they’re not often visible to the public, she said.

Instead, the zookeepers will have the responsibility of coming up with names. The names chosen for animals usually have something to do with where they are from, she said.

Yukon cubs settle into the Calgary Zoo The Whitehorse bear cubs sent this summer to live in the Calgary Zoo have been safely introduced to their new den mate.

Manuka, the facility’s other black bear, was introduced to the two Yukon cubs in stages over the last few weeks, zoo officials say.

“This is such a positive story for us as we were able to become the new home for two orphaned cubs and at the same time, provide company for our lone black bear,” curator Mike Teller said in a news release. “Young bears are very social and this will be very enriching for all of the bears.”

The siblings, who are about eight or nine months old, arrived at the Calgary Zoo in late August and had to go into quarantine before being introduced into the bear habitat.

Board recommends roadside grizzly hunt restrictions Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

T

he Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board has proposed that roadside spring grizzly hunting be banned on Southern Lakes highways and on the Haines Road.

The heart of the issue is potential conflict between wildlife viewing and bear hunting.

Last spring a blond grizzly was legally shot off on the Tagish Road.

The killing sparked an outcry among some residents who had become fond of the bear, which had lived in the area for years.

The incident later prompted some Yukoners to deliver a petition to the Yukon Legislative Assembly calling for an end to bear hunting within a kilometre of Yukon roads.

But the issue had been simmering for years before that.

An earlier petition on the subject was delivered in 2003.

Concerns specific to the Atlin Road grew and in 2010 thenenvironment minister John Edzerza asked the management board to look into a no-hunting corridor on that stretch of road.

The board has twice recommended against that proposal.

But given the specific interest in

keeping the status quo to eliminating all roadside bear hunting in the territory,” according to the board.

“Though it was recognized that this review was not intended to address grizzly bear conservation, more concerns on the practice of roadside hunting of grizzly bears were raised in this review than for any other species, including black bears.”

The board has proposed that no grizzly bear be taken during the spring hunt within 30 metres of the centre line of Tagish Road, the Atlin Road, the South Klondike Road, and the Alaska Highway from Jake’s Corner to the Slims River Bridge, just north of Haines Junction.

“This proposed amendment to the regulations should go some way towards addressing the conflicts between wildlife viewing and wildlife harvesting that has been in the public eye for the past decade,” according to the board.

It would restrict the grizzly bear spring hunt, the most likely period of conflict, when animals are attracted to the flush of green vegetation growing along the highway corridors. This proposal would not affect fall grizzly bear hunting nor black bear hunting in either spring or fall.

The Yukon Fish & Game Association opposes the change. “Obviously we don’t support it,” said Gord Zealand, the group’s executive director.

“We believe this is kind of a shotgun approach to something that could be very specifically managed if there are issues.”

He noted that shooting sows and cubs is already illegal, and there is no conservation concern with grizzly bears in the Yukon.

The association supports ethical hunting, but that can mean different things to different people, said Zealand.

For an older or physically disabled person, getting a bear near a road might be the only way they can get one, he said.

If there are concerns on a specific stretch of road, then deal with that area in isolation, said Zealand.

“We’re never in support of big broad-based closures, because they never come back.”

The way hunting is managed in the territory does not allow for much flexibility, he said.

“Where you’re tied to a regulation process that takes forever, well Jesus, it doesn’t make sense for anyone.”

The management board will accept comments on the proposal until Nov. 28 at 4 p.m.

At that point it will be up to the environment minister to decide whether or not to bring the proposal forward for final approval by cabinet.

The changes will likely come into effect for the 2016 spring grizzly hunt, if they are approved, according to the board.

Detailed information and an online survey are available at yfwmb.ca.

How about providing incentives to contractors to build more affordable housing?

How about buying already constructed housing and contracting non-profits to provide supports? These options would give everyone, including the most vulnerable in our community, an opportunity to thrive. And they have all been proposed through the Housing Action Plan.

We don’t believe the current way of doing business is good enough for the citizens of the territory. It’s not good for any of us – not for people looking for housing, not for people wishing to live here, not for those building the housing, not for the bureaucrats doing the policy work, not the politicians, not the advocates, not the landlords nor the real estate agents.

It is time our government did their homework, used the information available to them and spent the federal money on what it was meant for – housing pure and simple.

Housing that fills gaps in the continuum and supports all sectors of the community.

Holocaust survivor to speak next week This year the F.H Collins History class is hosting a series of events to educate our society on the dangers of prejudice, racism, and hate.

Robbie Waisman is an 83-year-old Holocaust survivor, who was only 14 when he was sent to Buchenwald. He will be sharing his story with the public on Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. in the F.H. Collins gymnasium.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and we will have the Anne Frank

Exhibit open for tours during this time. These events coincide with Holocaust Education Week.

This is a momentous event, as it may be one of our last chances to hear the story of a Holocaust survivor first-hand. You may think teenagers could care less about Remembrance Day, but we feel it is important that our society is educated on the dangers of prejudice and hate, and that we learn the possible outcomes of such discrimination.

Zehaf-Bibeau. It is hard to imagine that he expected the murder of a single unarmed soldier at the National War Memorial and a doomed Hail Mary in the halls of Parliament to accomplish any strategic objectives.

If he had actually hoped to weaken the ability of the Canadian Armed Forces to wage war his efforts were feeble and ineffective. It is not an unreasonable assumption that at least part of Zehaf-Bibeau’s mission was to use fear as a means to weaken the resolve of the Canadian public and its politicians to participate in future military endeavours in the so-called “Muslim world.”

On another commonly understood dimension of terrorism – the targeting of civilians – we have a mixed result. Strictly speaking, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was a military target, so it is understandable why some would reject the use of the term terrorism to describe his death.

But Cpl. Cirillo was a reservist performing a largely symbolic role, far removed from the battlefield. If an attack on him was not terrorism, how would we describe an attack on Canadian Rangers performing exercises on snowmobiles in the Arctic? What about attacks on cadets standing guard at a Remembrance

Day ceremony? As with so many other things in politics, the line between military target and pseudo-civilian in military dress is not 100 per cent clear.

Terrorism, in the public mind, is usually understood as an organized endeavour with planning, logistics, and (usually) collaborators. Here the classification of Zehaf-Bibeau as a terrorist breaks down somewhat. As far as we can tell, he acted alone, without any direction other than in the vaguest sense of targeting western interests.

There also does not seem to have been much planning involved. It is entirely plausible, given how events unfolded, that he snapped, grabbed a weapon, and headed to downtown Ottawa with barely a forethought. This is very different from some of the carefully planned, coordinated terrorist attacks we are accustomed to.

Finally there is the question of his motivation. Zehaf-Bibeau was an adherent to a radical version of Islam and apparently espoused some religious-political grievances consistent with those of jihadists. But he was a habitual petty criminal, and had issues with mentally illness, and drug addictions. The exact interplay of these various factors we will

probably never know since ZehafBibeau was shot dead during his murderous rampage – but it is likely that each played some role in motivating him to do what he did, further muddying the water.

At the end of the day very little hangs on the question of whether Zehaf-Bibeau was a terrorist or not. It is enough to note that his actions were criminal, repugnant and unacceptable; that they were motivated by a complex mixture of social and personal factors; and they would have been difficult to predict without the benefit of hindsight.

Our obsession with debating this point detracts from the more important question of what, if anything, can and (as importantly) should be done within the context of a free and open liberal society to prevent or minimize recurrence. So called “lone wolf terrorism” present a serious challenge to an open society, and the practical reality is that there may be very little we can do to guarantee it will not happen again.

There is a serious discussion to be had about police powers and civil liberties, and it should take place without the use of highly emotive terms.

Canada and Canadians. It is a Cyber-espionage, criticaltimely endeavour. Canadians deinfrastructural threats, terrorist serve to know what is happening

T

in our country and what can be done to prevent terrorists from targeting and using Canada as a haven to spread their hate and violence.

Following the murder of Canadian servicemen Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal

Nathan Cirillo, our committee heard recently from RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson and CSIS Assistant Director of Intelligence Michael Peirce.

Here is what we learned.

In 2010, there were 50 terrorist organizations operating in Canada. Today, the government has designated 53 organizations as security threats. Senators were told that, in 2010, CSIS was tracking 200 individuals believed to be involved in terrorist-related activity. Today – according to a broad and necessarily imprecise approximation shared by Commissioner Paulson – “we can talk about thousands of police occurrences where people will have identified individuals who will require a response.”

Such numbers are in addition to the 80-plus radical Islamists who have returned to Canada after providing support to terrorists abroad. And they are above and beyond the 140 Canadianconnected individuals who are currently abroad, 90 or so in Syria and Iraq.

The committee also gained insight into terrorist financing, a burgeoning issue. Assistant Director Peirce testified that there are two broad ways of financing terrorists whom CSIS is tracking.

“One is financing for individuals within Canada, for example, who want to travel to engage in jihad.

Those are relatively small sums but very operationally important.”

The second approach: “financing that flows from Canada to terrorist organizations.” “That kind of financing,” he said, “is very dependent on the kind of terrorist organization.”

We were told that organizations and individuals in Canada attempt to “operate under cover of different purposes, ostensibly raising money for humanitarian purposes in Syria and Iraq, and they may well be actually funneling that money to a terrorist organization.”

Terrorist financing from individuals ranges from “moderate” sums of up to $10,000 and “when you’re talking organizations, you are talking six-figure sums.”

In the face of these compel-

ling concerns, we were told that Canada has had 17 terrorist convictions since 2001, under the Anti-terrorism Act. While the government should be commended for these successes, clearly more needs to be done to address what is happening in Canada.

This would include the need to confront, charge, and detain those spreading hate and financing terrorism. We need to use all tools necessary to stop those who are materially supporting terrorist organizations and terrorist activity – including applying the full force of the law to those undertaking what lawyers call “acts preparatory” to related terror crimes.

Canadians want a clear and honest picture of what terrorist threats we face. Where is the danger coming from? How are Canadians being encouraged to embrace radical Islamism? What support systems are facilitating radicalization and terrorism?

And most importantly, what preventive prosecution and other counter-terrorism strategies can be employed to head off terrorist violence?

While addressing these issues, we must protect the privacy of Canadians, ensuring that excessive security intervention not unduly interfere with citizens’ traditional right to go about their lives and business, freely and unencumbered.

In the coming weeks and months, our Senate committee will focus on these issues in a careful, reasoned and bipartisan manner that puts the interest of Canada and Canadians first. We will strive to deliver an initial report by the spring of 2015.

In the meantime, Canadians are invited to tune into the national-security committee hearings, airing live, Mondays at 1 p.m. when Parliament is sitting at http://sen-parlvu.sen.ca and repeated on CPAC.

Why do sexual assault victims stay silent? No easy answer, say experts Diana Mehta Canadian Press

TORONTO hy didn’t you go to police? ‘’ A simple question, but without a simple answer when it is posed to sexual assault victims.

Experts agree that the reasons why sexual assault victims are often reluctant to step forward are myriad.

Mabel Athena is all too aware of the complexity surrounding the issue.

She says a man she’d known for just a few hours raped her twice while she was touring a foreign country. She was in shock and faulted herself for trusting her attacker. She didn’t go to police.

Five years later, Athena feels it’s important to speak out on the issue.

“For the longest time I blamed myself for putting myself in that situation,” she said. “But not dealing with it and having bits and pieces come out and hijack the rest of my life for years – I don’t know if it would have been different if I just had the resources right away and been able to confront it right away.”

Crisis workers, lawyers and police agree there are many reasons a victim may not come forward – ranging from emotional trauma and fear of authority, to a lack of clarity over just what constitutes sexual assault.

Even for those who do come forward, taking action against an alleged assailant is not easy.

Elizabeth knows that only all too well.

The now 25-year-old – who did not want to give her last name – says a man she met at a bar took her to his home, bit her, choked her unconscious three times, threw her against a mirror so hard it broke, and sexually assaulted her four times, all while she tried to scramble away.

She went to police.

After an investigation that lasted over a year, she says police told her they didn’t have substantial evidence to press charges.

“I am glad I did it just on a personal level to know that I did the best that I could, but I would never judge someone for not going forward. It’s a horrible process. You have to share your story with so many strangers,” she said.

The question “Why didn’t you go to police” has become part of the public conversation around allegations against former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi, who has been accused of abusive behavior

“W

by women who have gone to newspapers and broadcasters with their allegations and not police. One allegation dates back more than 10 years.

Ghomeshi says he plans to meet allegations against him head-on. He has said he has engaged in role play and rough sex, but that it was always consensual, and said he was fired from CBC because of the risk that his sex life would become public “as a result of a campaign of false allegations.”

None of Ghomeshi’s accusers has so far reported going to police with their allegations.

Speaking generally, Amanda Dale, executive director of the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic which supports women survivors of violence, says the criminal justice system is set up to protect the rights of the accused.

“It is a large behemoth that you face as one woman alone trying to report what is already a pretty intimate crime, if indeed it meets the threshold of being a crime at all,” said Dale.

“There are lots of shades of humiliation and degradation and misogyny that don’t meet the definition of a crime.”

While she noted some positive legal changes in Canada, such as tighter restrictions on the records criminal lawyers can access about an alleged victim, she said avenues outside the legal system can sometimes yield more satisfying results.

“I’m not saying there have been no reforms or that more reforms aren’t possible,” she said. “I am saying that there are, from the victims perspective, often ameliorative or reparation kinds of schemes actually give more sense of justice than the criminal justice system.”

Those other avenues include going to a body like Ontario’s Criminal Injuries Compensation Board or similar entities in other provinces which provide financial compensation to victims without the need for a

criminal charge if they decide the alleged assaults were a crime.

Victims also have the option of attempting to sue the perpetrator or any institutions involved – a step which isn’t right for everyone, but which can be just what some victims need, said Simona Jellinek, a lawyer who has represented victims of sexual assault in civil suits for 18 years.

“What suing does do is it generally helps people come forward and put the blame where the blame needs to be,” she said. “Sometimes going through that process is very cathartic and therapeutic in terms of standing up for yourself and taking back control.”

What helps many victims is just knowing the options they have available, she said.

Police work hard to emphasize those options as well, and say if women want to report an incident – but not pursue it any further – that’s fine with them.

“We recognize how much courage it takes for people to come forward but we also want them to know that we wouldn’t force them into doing something that they are not comfortable with,” said Sgt. Trish Ferguson of the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Section of the Ottawa Police Service.

Police also work closely with community agencies and hospitals to encourage reporting of alleged assaults and do outreach work with some of the more vulnerable pockets of the city’s population, said Ferguson.

“I think people’s reasons for not coming forward are as diverse as the people themselves,” she said. “We want to make sure that victims are heard.”

It’s tough to find hard figures on sexual assaults in Canada though, particularly as the last national survey on violence against women was conducted by the fed-

eral government in 1993, said Irene Tsepnopoulos-Elhaimer, of Women Against Violence Against Women, a rape crisis centre in British Columbia.

Her organization conducted their own study, looking at 526 women who accessed their victim services, of which 62 per cent reported their alleged sexual assaults to police, with 11.8 per cent of cases resulting in charges and 4.6 per cent of cases result in a conviction.

“To get a conviction it really, really has to be egregious,” said Tsepnopoulos-Elhaimer.

“Women will say, how bad was my sexual assault, I wasn’t stabbed and left for dead, why should I go forward?”

Compounding the issue is the fact that women may have a relationship of some sort with their assailants.

“We always have this sense that oh, it’s a bogeyman in the bushes, and it’s like no, no, this is women’s everyday experi-

ences being relational humans with men,” she said. “How are you going to defend the fact that this was somebody that you know, that’s just one strike against you right there.”

Another barrier victims face is revictimization, as observers might raise questions about what they were wearing, how much they were drinking and how hard they tried to ward off sexual advances, said Tsepnopoulos-Elhaimer.

Altering those biases will take a societal change as well as support from governments, she said, noting that the Ghomeshi case, while drawing a lot of attention, would likely not trigger significant change.

“If we’re waiting for (these women) to make the difference or any woman who shows up at a rape crisis centre or wherever she may be, that is not how we’re going to shift society. This is a collective issue.”

Framing income splitting: Family friendly, or lining the wallets of wealthy dads?

Jennifer Ditchburn Canadian Press

OTTAWA he political race is on to frame the government’s marquee income-splitting plan as either a financial boon to Canadian families with children or a “retrograde” measure skewed towards men and the wealthy.

The stakes are high for all the parties, who are fighting for the support of some key constituencies – women, suburban voters and the middle class – in the lead-up to the 2015 election.

Their attitude toward the tax measures will be key.

The NDP flat-out calls the income-splitting plan “paternalistic” and “backwards.”

“Income splitting is a retrograde plan that pressures women to stay at home,” NDP MP Nycole Turmel said during question period Friday.

“While we’ve got serious labour shortages and the working population is aging, this is the last thing we should be doing.”

To illustrate what he considers the plan’s lopsided priorities, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has emphasized the fact that high-earning fathers such as himself and Prime Minister Stephen Harper will reap its benefits.

Cabinet ministers, meanwhile, fanned out across the country Friday to highlight income splitting and the government’s suite of other tax measures for families with children under 18.

The income-splitting proposal would allow the higherearning spouse in such a family

to transfer up to $50,000 in income to the lower earning spouse, lowering the marginal tax rate of the former.

One of the central criticisms of income splitting is that it could create a disincentive for the lower-income spouse – in most cases a woman – to return to or join the workforce. The calculations done before one decides to take a job would take into account potential earnings versus how much will be lost in tax breaks and credits.

Notice

For example, a non-working mother who currently pays no tax would suddenly find herself in a tax bracket as a result of income splitting. Getting a job would bump up her tax rate even further.

Income splitting also offers no benefits for single parents.

The C.D. Howe Institute studied the Conservative party’s initial income splitting proposal in 2011, and found that the wealthy benefited the most, and also that the measure might deter the lower-income spouse from entering the workforce.

Now that the government has put a $2,000 cap on the tax benefits, study co-author Alexandre Laurin said the same trends hold, but they just aren’t

as pronounced.

“It would usually always be above-average families that get the most, it’s kind of by definition,” said Laurin.

He added: “One of the consequences of joint taxation is that it affects the incentives for the lower-income spouse to work more or to participate in the labour force, and that will not change.”

Lisa Philipps, a law professor at York University’s Osgoode Hall, has studied the impacts of income splitting, including the gender equity implications. She said her main gripe with the tax proposal is that it eats up so much money that could be directed elsewhere.

predicted that the tax proposals, combined with lower oil prices, would mean the approximately $5 billion in total surplus room this year would be used up.

“It really makes no sense, and is an irresponsible use of public funds,” said Philipps.

“It’s not really addressing where the need really lies in our society, and that’s a gender issue but it’s also frankly a… poverty issue about who’s really struggling and who’s really in need of help, and it’s not men or women earning six figures.”

The Conservatives have tried to insulate themselves from some of the criticism of income splitting by simultaneously introducing other measures that will benefit Canadians with children across the board – such as enhanced child care benefit cheques and an increase in the child care tax deduction.

Offering parents of children under six a $100 per month cheque back in 2006 was one of the factors in the Conservative party’s election victory. On Friday, the government expanded that program to provide $60 a month for families with older kids.

“Our government is expanding the universal child care benefit to provide $720 to every child from six to 17 years old,” said MP Andrew Saxton, parliamentary secretary to Finance Minister Joe Oliver.

“This will be a huge relief on the daily pressures that ordinary Canadian families face.”

But the opposition is focused squarely on the income-splitting plan.

The NDP has proposed a national child-care plan, arguing from the opposite end of the spectrum that it would encourage women to rejoin or stay in the workforce.

There are some vocal proponents of the measures, including the Institute for Marriage and the Family. That organization and others have long bemoaned the fact that singleearner families bear a bigger tax burden that dual-income families.

“Our research shows that families work as a unit, sharing money and resources as needed,” the institute said following the announcement.

“This sharing strengthens families, which in turn benefits society and the economy. To date, the Canadian tax code has done a poor job of reflecting this reality since family members are taxed as individuals.”

Shawn Atleo becomes Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Shqwi qwalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or speaker for better relations Dirk Meissner Canadian Press

NANAIMO, B.C. hawn Atleo has listened to grandmothers in the Arctic, heard the concerns of the youth in his home village of Ahousaht on the West Coast of Vancouver Island and felt Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold winters and its harsh politics, making him ideal for the new British Columbia position of Shqwi qwal.

A Shqwi qwal, pronounced she-qwall, is a West Coast aboriginal name given to a community leader who helps build new paths and relations.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark said that there is no better connected, respected or qualified aboriginal communicator in Canada as she appointed Atleo as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Shqwi qwal at a ceremony at Vancouver Island University on Thursday.

The former Assembly of First Nations National Chief said it was time to come home and embrace a moment in history where British Columbia must engage in deep and vulnerable discussions between its aboriginal and non-aboriginal peoples.

Atleo described the Shqwi qwal as the person who ensures everyone has their say when the community meets in the village longhouse. The Shqwi qwal often does more listening than talking, but the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wisdom and respect ensures that concerns and issues are aired fully and completely.

Atleo and Clark said British Columbia is at moment where aboriginals and non-aboriginals face social, cultural and economic issues that require understanding and acknowledgment of each other to drive economic and social prosperity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to hear each others stories. We need to acknowledge each others struggles,â&#x20AC;? said Clark, citing the recent apology in the legislature for the hanging of six Tsilhqotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in chiefs 150 years ago and the current economic agenda to develop a liquefied natural gas industry.

S

But Atleo went deeper, saying difficult questions must be pursued and probed to bring about reconciliation and strong relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incumbent upon us to go deeply into these conversations,â&#x20AC;? said Atleo, who plans academic and community meetings between aboriginals, non-aboriginals, government and industry representatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about this work of reconciliation that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pushing up against the premier and her colleagues,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand idly by. We go to the heart of this, the difficult conversations.â&#x20AC;?

Atleoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impassioned address touched on his perceptions of Canada and his time in First Nations politics, including his decision earlier this year to quit as national chief despite being elected to a second term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I travelled from Coast to Coast to Coast and I spent time in villages in the Far North, in the Atlantic Coast, with little kids, with grandmothers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had grease from having a goose dinner drip on my chin. I listened to the elders and participated in ceremonies.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard about the hope,â&#x20AC;? said Atleo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard about the pain. I heard about the promise expressed about the future, as well as the challenges and the struggles we have.â&#x20AC;?

Atleo abruptly resigned as national chief last spring after being the subject of intense aboriginal criticism over the federal Conservative governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.9-billion deal for First Nations education.

Upon reflection, he said he accomplished what he set out to do when the chiefs sent him to Ottawa. Atleo said Canada now knows it must do more to improve and fund education for aboriginal children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we were to close the education gap and employment gap of indigenous young people in this country, it would add $400 billion to the Canadian economy.â&#x20AC;?

Atleo said Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to

engage First Nations following last Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supreme Court of Canada decision granting title to a large swath of land in central B.C. to the Tsilhqotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in

Canada leading global study looking at best ways to prevent Inuit suicide Bob Weber Canadian Press

C

anada is leading an international effort to pull together the most effective ways to prevent suicide among aboriginal youth in the Arctic, an ongoing

tragedy across the circumpolar world.

This month, officials from the eight countries that ring the North Pole gave final approval for researchers to visit northern aboriginal communities to study how they’re dealing with the

problem.

Nunavut’s chief coroner called a special inquiry in January after 45 people killed themselves in 2013 – a significant increase from the previous high of 34.

That record number put the

territory’s suicide rate at 13 1/2 times the national average.

But it’s bad elsewhere, too.

Suicide rates among Alaskan aboriginals are about three times the United States average. In Greenland, 2010 government data reported about one suicide a week in a population of about 56,000.

Statistics in Norway, Sweden and Finland for the aboriginal Saami population are difficult to tease out. But available data suggests suicide and mental health are issues in their communities as well.

“I think that’s clearly why the Saami health leadership as well as the government of Norway is supportive of this project,” said Malcolm King, science director for the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, which is coordinating the project.

Teams are already at work in the participating countries of Canada, the U.S., Norway, Sweden and Denmark, King said. He’s hoping Russia, which is also said to suffer high Arctic aboriginal suicide rates, will join.

Suicide across the circumpolar world seems to have some common features, said King. It affects predominantly young people up to their mid-20s, and seems to involve rapid cultural displacement that Arctic people faced as southern governments exerted their authority over their northern regions.

is what we might call cultural continuity,” he said.

“It issues around formation of identity, and disconnections with the community. That may not sit as a cause in mainstream thinking, but it certainly has been talked about a lot as a common thread among indigenous peoples.”

King said common themes are also beginning to emerge about the most effective prevention programs.

“There are certainly some indications that involving youth in various ways in finding their own pathway to mental wellness is an important part of projects,” he said. “Good practice models all involved active participation of youth.”

Often, those models are as simple as giving youth a voice, such as a photography, theatre or film project. Some involve peer support through social media.

“They get people thinking positively about their mental well-being, providing a positive alternative to what otherwise might be negative,” King said.

“Overcoming a sense of being alone, in itself, is probably a good thing.”

The government of Nunavut has long run suicide prevention programs of its own. Mentalhealth advocates say services in the Arctic don’t even come close to meeting the demand. They point out Nunavut doesn’t even have a residential substance abuse program.

The overall report is expected at the next Arctic Council meeting in March in Iqaluit. The Canadian government has contributed $1 million to the project.

Free Syrian Army commander says Canada should be training Islamic State resistance France and Britain and made it clear they will not participate unless they get to choose who is trained because they know better who is and who is not an extremist.

U.S. Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said they want to build an “effective opposition force, not

just a hit-and-run group of rebels,” but Alawak says he doesn’t see that happening in the near future.

He is also suspicious of who the Americans are courting as potential partners in the region.

“I hope the American intelligence – the CIA – should be more

selective in choosing opposition figures, and (should not) choose just anyone. They should choose reliable persons,” Alawak said.

“What will make Assad survive is the divide of the American administration and he is depending on such division.”

KUWAIT CITY senior member of the opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime says Canada’s time, effort and money would be better spent training ground forces to retake territory from the Islamic State in both Iraq and Syria, rather than on a bombing campaign.

Brig.-Gen. Hussam Alawak, who heads up intelligence for the Free Officers Movement – one arm of the Free Syrian Army – also warned in an interview with The Canadian Press that new anti-aircraft weapons threatening coalition jets come from looted stockpiles in Libya and more potent weapons may be on the way.

Alawak, who defected prior to the Arab Spring uprising, says the current U.S.-led bombing campaign will not dislodge the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and may drive up recruitment to the group.

Operations involving Canadian fighter-bombers continued over the weekend with two CF-18s dropping bombs on ISIL targets near Fallujah, west of Baghdad, but the air force refused to provide updated details on the mission other than to say all aircraft returned safely to base.

Chinese-made FN-6 heat-seeking missiles – known as Manpads – have begun appearing in Iraq.

Alawak claims they come from a cache of thousands weapons provided by Qatar to anti-Gaddafi fighters, which fell into the hands of Libya’s top extremists following NATO’s 2011 bombing campaign.

They were transferred to Syria through a warehouse belonging to extremists in Turkey, he said.

Alawak, who was a senior intelligence officer in the Syrian air force before opposing the Assad regime, says the air campaign will be “almost useless” in grand scheme of things and that the main effort should be put towards forming armies of liberation.

“If Canada wants to continue in a useless thing, then it’s up to them,” said Alawak, who spoke through a translator after returning to Cario.

A

He praised the Harper government’s strident anti-Assad rhetoric and Canada’s efforts to accept Syrian refugees, but pointed to the recently concluded military training mission in Afghanistan as an example of something more effective that Canadian forces could be doing.

Prior to the departure of Canadian warplanes, the country’s top military commanders acknowledged that Washington had sounded out its partners about contributing to such a program in Iraq only, but underlined it was something the Harper government had not considered.

There is a need “to get Iraqi security forces on their feet and be able to conduct ground operations” against enemy militants, Lt.Gen. Jonathan Vance, the country’s domestic and overseas operations commander, said on Oct. 17.

“This indeed will take an effort – a training effort. That the U.S. is looking to trusted partners – amongst whom are NATO – to consider this is not unexpected.”

There were published reports in the U.S. that NATO had been approached by Washington to organize it, but a spokesman for the military alliance’s senior commander said the formal request would have to come from the Iraqi government.

Lt.-Col. Jay Janzen said the allies agreed at the leader’s summit in Wales that if the new government of Haider al-Abadi in Baghdad asked for capacity-building help, “including building more effective security forces,” the alliance would consider it.

“To date a request has not been received, but our offer stands,” he said in an email last week.

The U.S. policy in Syria is to recruit and train opposition force to defend territory, rather than to seize it back from the Islamic State, according to administration officials who spoke to the Washington Post on Oct. 23.

Characterizing it as a defensive posture seems aimed at not provoking a wider conflict involving Iran and Russia, which both back Assad.

Alawak says his group recently held talks in Jordan with the U.S.,

Beauty and darkness mingle in solo exhibition Myles Dolphin News Reporter

M

asamichi Nakatsuka is covered in tattoos and sports a multi-coloured hairstyle you could spot a mile away.

The walls in his small basement apartment are blanketed in paintings he’s produced over the past several months.

The themes range from portraits of beautiful women to more somber-looking skulls.

Posters of his favourite punk bands take up the rest of the wall space.

Tomorrow night he’s presenting about 20 of his artworks in an exhibition titled Beauty in Darkness.

It’s the first time he’s ever presented his work publicly, he said.

“I’m very excited,” said 29-year-old Nakatsuka, who began painting with watercolours and oil earlier this year.

He first came to Canada at the age of 24, with a one-year working holiday visa in hand.

Living in Toronto, he took part in a culinary arts program, where he was surprised to fall in love with cooking.

“When I moved to Toronto I didn’t really want to cook, but I knew it would make it easier if I wanted to immigrate to Canada,” he said.

“Then, I just kind of fell in love with it.”

Nakatsuka had always been good at drawing but began sketching more seriously after getting his first tattoo in Toronto. It’s a tribute to one of his favourite bands, Rancid, on his left shoulder.

He brought his sketchbook to a tattoo parlor and they told him he had a good eye.

He went back home to Japan but his love for Canadian culture eventually brought him back.

Today, Nakatsuka has 11 tattoos. When asked if he planned on getting more, he answered without hesitation.

“Hell yes! I need more and more,” he said, adding he’d like to go to Germany to get his sleeves – tattoos that cover most or all of the arms – done.

Nakatsuka has been living in the Yukon for the past three years.

He moved to the territory when he realized there were a lot more jobs here than in the rest of the country, he said.

Last summer, he began tattooing friends in Whitehorse and Dawson City.

He knew he would have to branch out and learn how to do coloured tattoos if he wanted to

become successful.

“A lot of people ask for coloured tattoos,” he said.

“Up until last year I was only doing black and grey ones.”

On his Facebook page there are dozens of pictures of tattoos he’s done so far.

Many of them are of skulls, but there is the occasional band logo and even Gollum from the Lord of the Rings.

Some of them have been inspired by costumes worn by Mexicans during the Day of the Dead holiday.

He prefers painting portraits because they come so naturally to him in his imagination, he said.

It only takes him a few days to finish a painting. The longest one, of a woman holding a guitar, took about six days, he said. It’s also the one he’s most proud of.

Even though Nakatsuka is focused on his paintings, he wants to open his own tattoo parlor some day.

“That’s my dream,” he said.

He attended a tattoo convention in Toronto a few months ago and took part in a seminar, after which he obtained two certifi-

His passion for cooking will also be on display at tomorrow’s opening show, where he plans on serving authentic Japanese finger

The solo exhibition is taking place at Gallery 22, located just above Triple J’s Music, Tattoos and Piercing shop.

While the exact origin is still unknown, officials said the powder consisted of calcium carbonate and calcium bicarbonate deposits,

believed to have formed from the increasing levels of carbon dioxide and humidity passing through the chapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s porous plaster walls.

The patina was easily removed and no permanent damage occurred, said Ulderico Santamaria, who heads the museumsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; restoration laboratory. But officials warned that such calcium buildup can do lasting damage if left untreated.

Vatican officials have said the Sistine Chapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new air conditioning and air filtration system, inaugurated this week, would prevent potential damage from the air pollution brought in by crowds nearing 6 million this year. But they never revealed that damage was already underway and that the new system was aimed at preventing further problems.

Santamaria said studies showed that the patina was superficial, and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bleached or mixed in with the actual colours, meaning the frescos themselves werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t harmed.

He said the patina wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found on all frescoes, but was concentrated in some areas of the chapel, presumably where there was greater absorption of water from the humid air or condensation inside the walls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state of the frescoes is good,

and this whitening was reversible,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Officials acknowledged that the major cleaning of the frescoes completed in 1994 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which removed centuries of built-up candle wax, dirt and smoke â&#x20AC;&#x201C; probably removed a barrier between the frescoes and the environment that allowed the whitening to take place. But they said the main culprit was the sheer number of human beings who cram into a tiny shoebox-shaped space that has limited natural air flow.

The head of the Vatican Museums, Antonio Paolucci, has ruled out closing the Sistine Chapel to protect the frescoes, but has said that 6 million visitors a year is the limit.

To allow crowds to continue to admire Michelangeloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last Judgmentâ&#x20AC;? behind the altar, the Vatican has installed sensors to monitor humidity, dust and carbon dioxide levels, as well as closedcircuit TV cameras to count the number of visitors so that the new cooling and ventilation system can adjust itself accordingly.

The previous air conditioning system, installed in the early 1990s, was designed when only about 2 million people visited each year.

“No, I’m not worried. If someone is (mad), that will just make it more exciting,” she said. “I don’t think Antonio Banderas will sue me because I said he smelled good. But if he does? It’ll be the sexiest lawsuit ever.”

If Yes Please is hard on anyone, it’s Poehler. One early chapter details her enduring body image issues, with Poehler lamenting her legs, her thin hair and “crazy smile.” She shares that she once dated a male model and, while snooping through his journal, learned that he felt proud for dat-

ing someone “funny but not that pretty.”

“Then I went home and cried and took way too long to break up with him,” she writes.

So for someone who struggles with a mirror, what’s it like to stare at her face splashed across a cinema screen?

“It’s really, truly awful,” she replied. “I really hate hate hate it.

And it doesn’t get better. It’s not like after you get a thousand pictures taken that you’re like: Now I really start to like how I look or my face. I particularly hate it.

“And I think it just goes to show that most people have this demon voice that lives with them and whispers things in their ear, like: ‘You’re not smart enough or pretty enough or you’re not this or you’re too that.’

“Too often, we try to tell people that they need to get rid of that voice. … But that voice does not go away. It hides in your closet and waits. … Twenty years from now, it’s going to come back

and whisper something even meaner. So it’s about coming to terms with that being in your life.”

As revealing as Yes Please can be, Poehler draws strict boundaries around her relationship with Ontario-raised Arnett (boundaries that exist in this interview as well), writing: “I don’t want to talk about my divorce because it is too sad and too personal.”

In the book, Poehler plays with the super-sweet perception she’s earned – in part due to signature role as do-gooder civil servant Leslie Knope. And more than anything, releasing Yes Please in a way that felt comfortable meant confidently saying no.

“I’m not used to talking about myself,” she said. “I’m actually a pretty private person. So it was a strange exercise to try to be truthful and funny and write a book about myself but still try to be true to what I wanted to share.

“I say in the book that nothing is anybody’s business. And I do kind of believe that.”

Globetrotting travel writer’s new book, Art of Stillness, makes case for staying put Jenny Barchfield Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL ico Iyer has spent the past several decades on the move, incessantly hopping from one far-flung destination – Ethiopia, Morocco, Indonesia – to another.

But the globetrotting travel writer is now convinced the most exciting place to go is nowhere at all.

In his new book The Art of Stillness, the British-born, California-raised son of Indian parents preaches sitting quietly in one place as an antidote to our constantly-connected, multi-tasking, airport-hopping lifestyles.

Iyer, 57, a Time Magazine journalist, shot to international fame with his 2000 book The Global Soul, which chronicled the emergence of a new breed he dubbed “transnationals” – people who all but live in airports, have addresses on different continents and carry several passports and multiple currencies in their pockets at all times. After years of living the sort of rootless existence he so deftly described in the book, Iyer began to feel the need to slow down like a nagging itch.

“It was gradual. I noticed I had 1.5 million miles on United Airlines alone, so I thought, ‘I’ve got plenty of movement in my life,”’ he said in an interview in Rio de Janeiro, where he spoke at a TED conference last month. “I need stillness.”

Iyer’s move some 15 years ago to a remote village in Japan, where he lives with his wife and children but without a cellphone, car, bike, or television in a lan-

P

guage he understands, and with only sporadic email access, helped him step away from the fray.

“The longer I’m in rural Japan, the more I end up in the 13th century,” he said. “The rest of the world is surging forward, and I’m there and I’ve never heard of Facebook or smartphones or Skype or any of that.”

While this chosen isolation might seem counterintuitive for someone who still makes his living as a travel writer – Iyer acknowledged that being hard to reach has infuriated many an editor over the years – he insisted it enriches both his life and his work by giving him the time and the space necessary to process, digest and reflect on experience.

“We’re very different people when we’re running from one plane to the next appointment to the next email and we can only keep gathering fragments but never get any deeper than that,” he said. “I can feel inside myself that spending time very quietly is like the construction of a house that then you can go and inhabit, rather than always running on quicksand, which I feel that more and more of us are doing now.”

A heartfelt manifesto to the benefits of ditching the cellphone and snipping up the frequent flier card, The Art of Stillness is anything but a self-help book or how-to guide for achieving inner peace.

“I’ve never meditated in my life, I don’t practice yoga nor any religion,” Iyer said. “I’m a tourist on the realm of stillness. I can tell people a little of this foreign country but I don’t live there,

For All Your Milestones...

don’t speak the language.”

In the book, he profiles uncontested masters of stillness, from Matthieu Ricard, a Frenchman with a Ph.D. in molecular biology who ditched a promising scientific career to become a Tibetan monk, to revered singersongwriter Leonard Cohen, who traded the pleasures of the senses for several years of living the near-silent life of meditation as a Zen monk.

“Leonard Cohen had been my hero since I was a teenager,” said Iyer. “Probably because he seemed glamorous and he was always travelling around and had beautiful girlfriends and wrote

so wonderfully. And then to encounter a man who’s had all that and says nothing compares to the adventure of stillness, says it’s the most voluptuous entertainment.

“That made a big impression” – one that would lead Iyer to a retreat at a Benedictine hermitage to which he’s returned year after year.

“When I began travelling, when I would tell people about going to Tibet or going to Cuba

or India, their eyes would really light up,” Iyer said. “Now, I notice that their eyes really light up when I talk about going nowhere, or going offline.”

bargain hunting website RedFlagDeals.com, said these apps depend on information to get customers the discounts.

“For example, if an app is serving you up the best possible deals around where your physical location is, it’s doing that because it knows where your physical location is. If it’s serving you up the most relevant offers based on what you bought prior or shown to be interested in prior, it’s because it knows what you were buying or showing an interest in buying prior,” he said.

“What makes them so usable is also sometimes what causes some privacy concerns.”

“I absolutely love it. I’m saving on toiletries, diapers, kids’ clothing, food,” said Taylor, who runs the personal finance blog Squawkfox.

The popularity of smartphone and tablet apps that save or, in some cases, pay consumers, fall under a number of categories, including ones that promote store flyers and coupons, those that offer rewards for visiting a retail store and ones that allow you to compare prices by scanning product barcodes.

They’re convenient to use but Taylor cautions that also makes it easier for consumers to overspend.

“If you’re using these apps and all of a sudden, you’re shopping more often – that’s not a good plan. If you’re buying food you don’t really need, that isn’t good for you – then it’s not a good app,” she said. “If you’re using the app to reduce your expenses on a real grocery haul, then yeah, it’s a great app.”

Users should also be aware of what they may be trading in for the big discounts.

Consumer technology expert Marc Saltzman suggests that customers stick to apps owned by reputable companies if they have concerns about their personal information being collected and shared.

Retailers like these types of apps because it gives them a window into customer preferences and purchases. But the apps also put more knowledge into the hands of the customer on where to spend their dollars.

“Retailers feel it’s a blessing and a curse,” he said. “We have a more educated society when it comes to pricing and quality, a customer who can pull up a review of a product just by taking a picture of it, Google it and see what other customers say about it. On the other hand, it lets retailers better connect with their users and make the shopping experience more personalized and rewarding.”

Rams, Warriors spike the competition in Dawson Tom Patrick News Reporter

W

hitehorse’s F.H. Collins Warriors and the Porter Creek Rams struck gold in the Klondike on Saturday – twice.

The Rams won both the junior and senior girls divisions and the Warriors won the junior and senior boys divisions at the 36th annual Dawson Invitational Volleyball Tournament, hosted by Dawson City’s Robert Service School.

In a bit of deja vu, it is the exact same gold medal winners as at the 2012 Dawson tournament.

“The guys are starting to click and work together and are starting to figure out our team system a little bit,” said Warriors head coach Denis Boyd.

“All the small things we’ve been working on all season are slowly coming together, so our game is becoming a little more polished. We’re just building our way up for Yukon champs and to finally get that Yukon championship that has evaded F.H. the last couple years.”

The Warriors won the Grade 11/12 boys title with a 25-14, 25-17 win over the hosting Robert Service School Knights in the final.

The win marked a three-peat for the Warriors, having won the senior boys division in 2012 and 2013 as well.

Saturday also marked the second year in a row the Knights made an appearance in a final in Dawson. In fact, two Robert Service teams reached finals last year to end a seven-year drought.

“Our one captain, Max Clarke, stood out … He was out there for almost every game, every set,” said Boyd. “Alan Mark, Peter Jacob, Etienne Geoffroy-Gagnon – there were some guys who took a really strong leadership role. It’s a long weekend, lots of games, the bus ride up, the early morning games, the late night games: It’s tough on the body and hard to keep energy throughout the whole weekend. And they did a really good job at managing themselves and time, and it definitely showed out on the court.”

The Warriors are undefeated in two Super Volley matches so far this season and are hosting the final games of the regular season this Thursday and Friday.

They won Whitehorse’s Super Volley league title and the Dawson tourney last year but were denied the triple crown when they were upset by the Vanier Crusaders in the final of the Yukon Volleyball Championships – the team’s only loss of the season.

“We’re looking to go undefeated there as well so we can hold a perfect record going into the Super Volley championships,” said Boyd. “Not only do we want the Yukon championships, we want the triple crown – something F.H. hasn’t had before. We’re trying to break some records here.”

Rams come back in junior girls final Porter Creek’s junior girls get dangerous when their backs are up against the wall.

After dropping first-sets, the Rams would sharpen their play in the second set. It happened in the final.

The Rams defeated Vanier Crusaders 12-25, 25-12, 15- 10 to win the 9/10 girls title.

“It was a mixture of nerves and excitement, and the girls weren’t playing their game,” said Rams head coach Emily Fedoriak. “Before the start of the second set they calmed down and took their time. We had one girl on our team (Billie Robertson) serve 15 serves in a row, which really gave us a strong lead, and I think mentally that’s why we were able to pull through with the win.”

The round-robin portion of the tournament consisted of two-set matches with no third sets. At the end of the robin, sets won and lost determined each team’s seeding going into the playoffs.

“It was actually a really close round robin tournament; we split almost every game,” said Fedoriak. “We’d lose the first set and then win the second set. All the teams are fairly close.”

“All the girls played well. It was a good battle between all the schools,” she added. “We were pretty equally matched. It was a good tournament.”

Warriors tough it out in junior boys division F.H. Collins’ junior boys were facing adversity before they even left

Whitehorse. They lost their captain Skylar Bryant to a broken arm, sustained in a soccer match, before leaving for Dawson.

Things didn’t get much better after they arrived. The Warriors’ starting setter, Curtis Terrier, suffered a broken nose in a collision during a game Friday morning in Dawson.

“He had a black eye and blurry vision and was having difficulty seeing, so we’d try him in the final if he could see well enough,” said Warriors co-head coach Nathan Bingham. “So when the final came, he felt like he could see well enough and wanted to play. So he got back in the line-up and that was really good for us because he’s an excellent setter. He performs well under pressure and is a really composed athlete. I was a little more confident things were going to go our way when Curtis said he was going to get back in the line-up.”

It did go their way. The Warriors topped Porter Creek 25-18, 26-24 to capture the 9/10 boys title.

“It was pretty tight in the second set,” said Bingham. “They just about pushed it to three sets and I’m glad we finished them in two because anything can happen in a third set. But we were the better team.”

The Warriors dropped just one set during the tournament, going three sets against the Dawson Knights in the semifinal. The Knights also gave them trouble in the round robin, losing 2522, 25-23 to the Warriors.

“Dawson surprised a few people in this tournament,” said Bingham.

Rams three-peat in senior girls

F.H. Collins’ senior boys were not the only ones to make it three in a row on Saturday.

The Porter Creek Rams won their third straight Dawson title with a 2522, 25-23 win over the Vanier Crusaders in the 11/12 girls final.

“It feels good. Last year I coached them and I have a lot of the same girls again this year, and it’s nice to work with them again,” said Rams head coach Amy Palamar. “And the new girls are a great addition.”

The Rams – the defending Yukon champs – split a two-set round robin match in Dawson with Vanier, who defeated Porter Creek in the Super Volley season opener at the start of October. The Rams have since won their last two Super Volley games in Whitehorse.

“My starting line-up, they work so well as a unit, and I can’t say one stood out more than another,” said Palamar.

“They were always there for each other … We’ve been working on team unity and it showed this weekend, for sure.”

Vanier won both junior divisions last year in Dawson and three out of four divisions in 2011 and 2010.

Seven visiting teams to challenge Mustangs this weekend Tom Patrick News Reporter

W

hitehorse will be awash with hockey action this weekend as seven outside teams come to town to fight for supremacy.

The hometown Mustangs will faceoff against teams from Yellowknife, Fort Nelson, Wasilla and Juneau, Alaska, in the Whitehorse Minor Hockey Association’s International Fall Showdown beginning Friday.

Nine teams, including two from the Whitehorse Mustangs rep hockey club, will take part in the two-division peeweebantam Tier 3 tournament.

It very well may be the first dual-division tournament the city has hosted, said Whitehorse Minor Hockey Association president Carl Burgess.

“I don’t know if there’s ever been a standard format competitive tournament like this,” he said. “We’ve hosted lots of teams, have had house league level tournaments. But outside of the multi-sport events, like the Canada Winter Games, I don’t know if we’ve had a competitive tournament in town.”

“It grew from some interest we were getting late summerearly fall, and we had teams who were interested in visiting, including Wasilla – the Matsu Eagles. They were entertaining bringing one of each team to have our usual match-up. And then the interest kept coming in and we decided to turn the corner into a standard format tournament to see how it works. And lo and behold, we filled two divisions.”

The Peewee division features the Mustangs, the Yellowknife Wolfpack, the Fort Nelson Bluebell, the Wasilla Matsu Eagles and the Juneau Capitals.

The Bantam division includes the Mic Mac Toyota Mustangs, the Yellowknife Wolfpack, the Wasilla Matsu Eagles and the Juneau Cap-

itals.

The tournament includes a ceremonial puck drop and “hockey show” at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday at Takhini area before a Fort Nelson-Juneau peewee game followed by a Whitehorse-Yellowknife match-up at 7:45. Admission is free.

“It is excellent hockey and I know it’ll be a great time,” said Burgess.

This weekend’s action comes just two weeks after the Mustangs and Wolfpack faced each other in the second annual Air North Hockey Challenge, a 24-game series with 12 games in Whitehorse and 12 in Yellowknife. Wolfpack won 13 to Whitehorse’s eight, and three ended in ties.

the Air North Challenge for this season,” said Burgess. “All the teams will travel again by the end of the season, but I don’t know if it will happen on the same weekend like we did earlier.

“All the Whitehorse teams that stayed home will go to Yellowknife and vice versa.”

The Atom Jr. Mustangs will again be the hometown favourites as they host a second annual atom tournament early December. Last year the Atom Mustangs beat the Matsu Eagles in the final for gold.

Whitehorse has also been selected to host the Tier 3 midget division of the B.C. Hockey Championships this March.

“The atoms I think will have White Rock and Yellowknife for a mini tournament in early December,” said Burgess. “We still have the Yukon championships throughout the territory, we have house league teams from places like Tok, (Alaska) calling us for exhibition visits, so it’s a pretty exciting time. Lots of folks want to come to Whitehorse to play hockey right now.”

The Bantam Mustangs went undefeated to win the Seafair International Ice Breaker, a Tier 2 tournament, over the Thanksgiving weekend in Richmond, B.C. Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Zach Bell signs on for another season with SmartStop Tom Patrick News Reporter

T

eam SmartStop will have its captain for another season.

Watson Lake cyclist and team captain Zach Bell has signed on for the 2015 season with the professional cycling team based out of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, SmartStop announced last week.

“We had such a good year, we had such good guys on the team, the chemistry is really good,” said Bell. “I looked around a little bit … there was one other team that had the same kind of dynamic, but I’ve had such a good relationship with the director there, Mike Creed, that I think it made sense once I knew a lot of the guys were coming back.

“I want to keep doing what we’ve been doing. It’s a bit of an unfinished project. Like I’ve said in a few other interviews already, we’re still building and I want to be a part of that.”

Under the leadership of Creed, a former pro cyclist turned team director last season, Team SmartStop headed in a new direction, focusing more on multi-stage events than on short one-day races.

The transition went extremely well. Team SmartStop made the podium in every event they raced and finished first in the Union Cycliste Internationale’s Americas Tour rankings, which includes North and South America.

The team also came third in the team standings in the U.S.’s National Racing Calendar.

“It’s going to be a similar group of guys doing a similar program and we’re hoping to improve on the success we had this year,” said Bell.

Also returning for another season with SmartStop is Travis McCabe, who finished first in the men’s individual standings of the National Racing Calendar; U23 Canadian Time Trial National Champion Kris Dahl; and Rob Britton, who made the podium in the general classification of three major events this past season.

Slovenia’s Jure Kocjan, who placed first in the UCI American Tour individual rankings, has also agreed to another year with the 13-rider team.

Bell, who missed a large chunk of the season with a broken collarbone sustained in a crash in New Mexico at the start of May, finished ranked 28th in the UCI individual rankings with three podium finishes in UCI races.

The 31-year-old two-time Olympian ended the season with a win in the road race of the Thompson Bucks County Classic, one of two wins for the SmartStop team at the UCI event in September.

“Zach is an unbelievable professional, he surprised me throughout the year, we knew he was going to be a really nice, strong guy but we saw him drop some really good

climbers at Bucks County,” said director Michael Creed in a news release. “I have no more expectations or goals for him but we will be looking to put him in a position to win a UCI race. He knows where he is at and where I need him to be.”

Aside from his work with SmartStop, Bell produced three top-10 finishes in track cycling at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, this summer.

In one race, he helped Canadian teammate Remi Pelletier-Roy win a bronze medal. Bell also placed 14th in the men’s time trial in road racing at the Games.
