The past two weeks brought rain to the territory, but that’s no reason to get complacent about the threat of wildfires. “A little rain is a good thing, but it isn’t going to wash out the fire,� said George Maratos, spokesperson for Wildland Fire Management. And it doesn’t take long for the forest to dry up, he added. The reminder comes as a humancaused fire was spotted on Monday night near Chadburn Lake. The fire was quickly extinguished by city of Whitehorse and Wildland Fire Management firefighters. The fire is believed to have been caused by piles of grass clippings that were set on fire. On Tuesday, wildland firefighters responded to two lightning-caused fires near Pelly Crossing. Two air tankers, helicopters and nine firefighters were sent to the closest one, 17 kilometres west of the community. The 7.5-hectare fire has been contained. The second fire is 32 kilometres west of the community and has been contained to half a hectare. Two wildfires that started on Monday near the north bank of the M’Clintock River and at Twin Fields were quickly contained by wildland firefighters. Two other fires started in the wilderness zone within the Dawson
district, and one within the Beaver Creek fire district. Fires in the wilderness zone are not put out, as they’re considered far enough away from any property or community. There are currently 72 active fires within the territory, most of them in the wilderness zone. There have been 107 fires since the beginning of the season, burning an estimated 31,130 hectares. To report wildfires call 1-888-798-FIRE (3473). (Pierre Chauvin)
Drivers asked to avoid creating ‘bear jams’ If you happen to see a bear on the roadside, don’t stop your car in the middle of the highway and don’t approach the animal. That’s the message Environment Yukon is putting out after reports of “bear jams� happening on the South Klondike Highway near Annie Lake Road. Two grizzly sows with their cubs have been frequently spotted on the side of that road. Conservation officers are concerned about the bears becoming used to humans, which can result in conflicts and a bad ending for the bears – being killed. They’re asking people to stop safely and pull off the road completely when viewing wildlife, to look from inside the car and to leave promptly
ment. Cozens said Mackie originally planned on building weapons legally. The judge sentenced Mackie to two years less a day on top of the time he has already served in custody. In total that’s 44.5 months in custody. It’s close to the four years the Crown had been seeking, but keeps Mackie in territorial jail as opposed to a federal prison. In Canada, sentences that are less than two years are served in local jails like the Whitehorse Correctional Centre. Anything higher would have meant federal prison time. The sentence also let the judge add a probation order after Mackie gets out of jail, something that in most cases doesn’t come with a prison sentence. Mackie will be on probation for two years once he is released. He is banned from having any weapons or anything that could be reasonably used to manufacture weapons.

into the water from nearby rocks and reacting with sulfide – the exact same process that occurs in constructed wetlands. In the North, Sobolewski said, water treatment plants may well be less reliable than wetlands. “There’s more likelihood of mechanical failure in the Yukon, just because of the climate,” he said. “Ecosystems tend to be adapted, but get your truck frozen one cold morning, and you know that mechanical failure is real.” He said the biggest obstacle for constructed wetlands in the Yukon is people, not technology. “People are very skeptical,” he said, adding that Yukon’s mining industry has a history of “make a mess and leave it.” Still, constructed wetlands are not common in Canada, let alone in the North. Sobolewski estimates there are about 20 man-made wetlands currently operating at mine sites in Canada, compared to roughly 500 in the U.S. But he said that has more to do with history than climate. Constructed wetlands have become a popular, low-cost option for cleaning up abandoned coal mines in Appalachia and gold mines in the West. Canada doesn’t have that same number of abandoned, contaminated mine sites. Despite Sobolewski’s optimism, there’s still more work to be done before constructed wetlands become a reality in the Yukon. The next step for Janin and her team is to conduct larger-scale experiments, using more plant species. Contact Maura Forrest at maura.forrest@yukon-news.com
Yukon’s whistleblower law comes into effect Maura Forrest News Reporter
Y
ukon has enacted new legislation to protect whistleblowers, joining a long list of Canadian provinces that have passed similar laws in recent years. The new Public Interest Disclosure of Wrongdoing Act came into effect on Monday, and applies to public service employees. That includes employees of the territorial government and the legislative assembly, and of Crown corporations like the Yukon energy and hospital corporations. The act “provides a clear framework for employees to make disclosures of wrongdoing in good faith, and for protecting them from acts of reprisal,” said Currie Dixon, the minister for the Public Service Commission, in a news release. Under the new legislation, accusations of wrongdoing will be handled by the newly established office of the Public Interest Disclosure Commissioner. Diane McLeod-McKay, the new commissioner, said this law is par-
ticularly important for the Yukon. The territory’s small population means reprisals for whistleblowers can be especially severe. “In Yukon, there aren’t a lot of employers,” she said. “Losing your job in government could mean that you’re moving.” All Canadian provinces except Quebec, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island have enacted some type of whistleblower protection in the last decade. But Yukon is the first territory to pass a similar law. McLeod-McKay said the Yukon act is stronger than the legislation in some other jurisdictions. It allows whistleblowers to make a complaint to her office if they’ve been fired or demoted after their disclosure of wrongdoing. She can recommend the case to an arbitrator, who can order the employer to correct the reprisal. “I was very pleased with that,” she said. “If I was an employee, then I would want that level of protection.” She said that in Alberta and Saskatchewan, by contrast, commissioners can only make non-binding recommendations to employers.
But David Hutton, a whistleblower protection advocate and former executive director of the Federal Accountability Initiative for Reform, said whistleblower legislation across Canada is far too weak. “This beaten path that the Yukon is following is a path that doesn’t lead anywhere,” he said. “The general outlook for whistleblowers in Canada is pretty bleak.” Hutton said whistleblower protections in other provinces are rarely used, and that many provinces have never found any cases of wrongdoing since the laws were enacted. He also said he’s “never heard of a single case of someone being sanctioned for taking reprisals against a whistleblower.” He’s worked with around 400 whistleblowers, most of whom suffered some form of reprisal for their actions. With respect to Yukon’s legislation, Hutton worries that the arbitration process may be too long and cumbersome to be of much use to whistleblowers who’ve suffered reprisals. “You’ve got this massive imbalance of power and resources,”
he said. “Legalistic-type processes that drag out and take months and years to complete are the kiss of death.” Ideally, he said, the commissioner would have the power to issue binding orders herself, instead of having to refer cases to an arbitrator. He also pointed out that whistleblowers themselves cannot request arbitration. Instead, that power rests with the commissioner or the employer. Hutton also said the compensation available to whistleblowers who’ve experienced reprisals is too limited under the new Yukon law. The arbitrator can order an employer to reinstate whistleblowers and reimburse them for direct financial losses. But he said there should also be compensation for pain and suffering and for future loss of income. Cherrine Chow, a labour and employment lawyer in Toronto, said Canada is behind other countries like the U.S. when it comes to whistleblower protection. “Canada has a tendency to move a little bit slower,” she said. “I suspect it’s because we’re a much smaller market, so these issues don’t arise as frequently.”
In the U.S., some whistleblowers are offered a financial reward for coming forward, which Chow said could work in Canada as well. And in Australia, whistleblowers can go to the media if there isn’t an adequate investigation of the wrongdoing they report, which encourages employers to act swiftly and fairly. According to Yukon’s new legislation, whistleblowers can only go public if there is an urgent threat to life, safety, or the environment, and if they have first received permission from law enforcement to approach the media. Still, Hutton believes Yukon’s whistleblower law could be effective if the arbitration process works well. “All it needs is for one or two whistleblowers to be successful and to get an appropriate remedy, and that sends a message,” he said. McLeod-McKay said any public servants considering a disclosure of wrongdoing should contact her office to be sure they’re acting within their rights.

Yukon Zinc asks court for more time to sell its beleaguered, waterlogged mine Maura Forrest News Reporter
Y
ukon Zinc says it has received several purchase offers for the Wolverine mine, but it has requested more time before giving an update on those offers to the B.C. Supreme Court. Purchase offers were due on June 8, and Yukon Zinc was supposed to provide an update on the offers during a court hearing on June 12. Instead, the company requested an extension to June 26. “Due to the limited time between the deadline for the submissions of offers and the June 12, 2015 hearing, additional time is required to further refine, analyze and discuss with the company and other stakeholders,” according to a monitor’s report released last week. The report didn’t say how many offers have been made,
RCMP search for body of missing man at Miles Canyon Whitehorse RCMP have called off their search and rescue operation for a man who apparently fell into Miles Canyon from a cliff on Monday afternoon and are now looking to recover the body.
though it did say 24 interested parties responded to its call for buyers. The mine, located near Watson Lake, stopped production and laid off most of its employees on Jan. 21, 2015. On March 13, Yukon Zinc received creditor protection for $646 million of debt. The company began looking for buyers on April 17. The monitor’s report also gave an update on the status of the mine, which has been slowly filling with water since pumps were shut down in February. An inspection of the flooding in late April found that water would reach the mine entrance in 30 months if no action were taken to stop water levels from rising. Currently, the upper twothirds of the mine are mostly clear of water, but damage to the mine’s access ramp prevented workers from assessing the lower part of the mine.
Yukon Zinc has no plans to address the flooding in the near term, as a consultant “estimated that it would cost several million dollars to rehabilitate and dewater the underground areas of the mine,” according to the monitor’s report. The company is currently in breach of its temporary closure plan, which requires ongoing dewatering and ventilation of the mine. The company said it expects to submit a revised closure plan on July 17 that would remove that requirement. Rob Thomson, director of compliance monitoring and inspections with Energy, Mines and Resources, told the News in March that the government could take on the dewatering itself, if necessary. But in an interview on Monday, EMR spokesperson Sue Thomas said the government has no plans to take on the operation,
as the water is rising slowly. “At this point, there is no concern regarding environmental or human safety, so there is no reason for government to step in,” she said. The mine’s current closure plan states that solid tailings will be moved underground for permanent storage as parts of the mine are decommissioned. Right now, they are stored in piles above ground. The floodwater may change that plan, but Thomas said the volume of solid tailings on the surface is fairly low. She said the closure plan was written based on a 10-year life expectancy for the mine, but it hasn’t been open that long. “Right now, these tailings are secure,” she said. The decision not to begin clean-up or water pumping from the mine means that Yukon Zinc has borrowed significantly less
money than it anticipated. The company has an $8-million line of credit to cover expenses until it can find a purchaser for the mine. As of June 12, the company had borrowed $2.2 million, which is $2.5 million less than expected. The company also cut spending when it decided not to invest in equipment maintenance and refurbishment that was supposed to happen before potential buyers visited the site. It simply ran out of time and decided not to pay for the improvements, according to the monitor’s report. Most of Yukon Zinc’s $646-million debt is owed to its parent company, Jinduicheng Canada Resource Corporation Ltd. It also owes about $3 million in security payments to the Yukon government. The government maintains that fund to pay for the eventual clean-up of the mine site. Contact Maura Forrest at maura.forrest@yukon-news.com
“At this stage, given that he has not been located or seen since, and the last witness that saw him did see him go under the water, unfortunately we are looking into this as a recovery,” Whitehorse RCMP spokesperson Julia Fox told the CBC on Tuesday. Witnesses reported a 19-year-old
man jumped or slipped from the cliff, near the suspension bridge. According to the RCMP, some people at the scene tried to grab the man but ultimately failed. One jumped into the water to save him but the man had already disappeared under the surface. Before that, the man tried to swim to the
bank, witnesses reported. On Monday, two Yukon Search and Rescue teams assisted by a helicopter from Wildland Fire Management and units from Police Dog Services searched the water and the shore. The search continued on Tuesday, unsuccessfully.
The RCMP hasn’t released the man’s name. Calls made to the RCMP asking for updates on Wednesday were not returned by press time. Whitehorse RCMP is asking anyone with any information to contact them at 667-5555. (Pierre Chauvin)

C
ity council has given the Yukon Breeze Sailing Society conditional approval to build a boat launch and dock on the eastern shore of Schwatka Lake. The decision came at Monday evening’s council meeting, where Councillor Betty Irwin was the lone voice against the proposal. Irwin said she had concerns about the project at the proposed site, which would be located about 1.4 kilometres down Chadburn Lake Road, because the group’s shipping containers and fences would be “intrusive and somewhat unsightly.” “Let’s hold back a bit,” she said. The non-profit, which has operated from the Schwatka Lake day use area since last year, applied to move its two sea cans to the new site, which would store sailing equipment. It also wants to put up some fencing, clear and level land, install a floating dock, build a ramp and put an outhouse on site. Activities at the site would include day camps as well as evening and weekend courses, with up to 10 sail boats used. The site would remain open to the public, with a locked gate placed at the access point. Council’s decision comes with several caveats, however. The non-profit has to complete a heritage report, a trail plan

The Yukon Breeze Sailing Society prepares to sail from the Schwatka Lake day use area last year. The group received a conditional approval from city council to build a new launch site on the lake. and a clean-up plan before it can apply for a development permit from the city. The location has been identified as a possible archeological site, according to the city’s administrative report. At a public input night held on May 25, the society’s president said that every effort would be made to make the area as attractive as possible, “and leave everything the way it is now.” “Sea cans aren’t the prettiest things but in our proposal we mentioned that we’d like to paint them so they fit in with the environment,” said Dave Hildes. “The fencing that we’ve pro-
posed would only go between the sea cans so that we could put a roof over them and create an outdoor classroom for kids, when the weather is bad. The fencing will never prevent anyone from accessing the shore.” Hildes said the site was picked because it’s close to the city and the group’s activities would be visible to the community. “We want to be where people can see us, because we want people to join us.” Another resident at the public input night spoke out against the proposal, saying she’s used the trail along the shore for years and was concerned the development
at the new site would take away from the area’s pristine landscape. “It’s quite sad to even consider this type of project on that part of land,” said Erin Benoit. “Other societies will ask for a chunk of that lake front, too. The proposal is being pushed forward as quickly as possible.” From 2008 to 2013, the society offered sailing camps on Marsh Lake before moving its operations to Schwatka Lake last year. It considers its current site to be unsuitable for long-term use because of unpredictable winds in that area of the lake, according to the city’s report. The group assessed nine different sites, on both the eastern and western sides of the lake, as well as potential sites on Chadburn Lake. The criteria included terrain, proximity to the city, wind conditions, road access and safety hazards. It was ultimately decided that the west side of the lake was more suitable for casual boating use, while the east side was more suitable for programming. This was also based on safety concerns related to sailboats crossing the flight path of float planes based on Schwatka Lake. The project’s construction phase is proposed to begin this month, prior to the start of the 2015 sailing season, the report states. Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

ment land. The original motion would have only given Macbride a pass on paying taxes this year. But Coun. Jocelyn Curteanu, participating by phone, proposed striking reference to “2015,” saying it gave more continuity. It would still allow future councils to revisit the issue, if they wanted to. Coun. Dave Stockdale said he supported the amendment, adding that it proves council can make decisions independent of what administration advises. Curteanu’s amendment was passed unanimously.
Members of the MacBride’s board had previously expressed disappointment over council’s decision on May 25. “We were sorry to see that end because we thought it was good for the community, for Whitehorse, for the Yukon,” said Keith Halliday, chair of MacBride, at the time. But since that meeting, members of council met with senior management and proposed revisiting the issue. As a result, the city is adding an additional $46,228 to this year’s municipal operating
budget. The city normally sets aside about $140,000 to cover grant requests from non-profits in the city, and that amount has been increased to $186,228.16. First and second reading of the Community Service and Municipal Charges Grants bylaw passed on Monday, with third reading scheduled for later this month. The grants range from a low of $484 to Habitat for Humanity, to a high of $27,467 for the MacBride Museum. Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

Three climbers rescued off Mount Logan Ashley Joannou News Reporter
A
s three experienced climbers tried to make their way down from Canada’s highest peak, the wind was so strong they could barely move. Dramatic and dangerous weather is one of the risks that come with being more than 17,000 feet off the ground on Yukon’s Mount Logan. That’s where three experienced climbers found themselves before they were rescued last week on the summit plateau in Kluane National Park and Reserve. The two Canadians and one American, all between 40 and 60 years old, estimated winds of more than 160 km/hour. “Those type of wind conditions pinned them down. Like literally, they couldn’t crawl more than 100 metres at one time because the winds were on the cusp of blowing them off the mountain,” said Craig McKinnon, resource conservation manager with Kluane National Park and Reserve. “Them finding a crevasse and building a snow cave out of it is really ultimately what saved their lives.” The trio are all experienced when it comes to this kind of

One has made it up Everest six times, McKinnon said. The climbers successfully made it up Mount Logan on June 2 via the East Ridge and were on their descent down the King’s Trench Route when the weather rolled in, according to Parks Canada. The group called for help
around 1 a.m. on June 9. The bad weather meant rescuers couldn’t get to the climbers right away, but they were in regular contact. All three men were experiencing the kind of fatigue and weakness that can come from being in those high altitudes, McKinnon said. One climber had severe frostbite on his fingers and less
severe frostbite on his face. The heights also made things more difficult for the rescuers sent in to get them. “Basically, anything about 10,000 feet is considered risky,” McKinnon said. “At 17,000 feet on Mount Logan, like I said the whole plateau is above that, jet planes are not that much higher than you.”
p.m. The suspect fled on foot after being confronted by the station’s staff, and was last seen heading toward Crocus Glen Subdivision. Nobody was hurt and the suspect left without any property or cash. Witnesses described him as possibly being of First Nations
descent, five foot six, with a round face, a moustache, blue jeans and a dark-coloured hoodie. On May 10, a man also armed with a blowtorch robbed Goody’s Gas, leaving with $490 from the till. At the time the RCMP said a female accomplice was seen working as a look out. The May 10 suspect was de-
scribed as a five foot five tall man, possibly of First Nation descent, wearing a dark hoodie and hat with the Monster energy drink logo on it. In both cases the suspect confronted the store clerk, demanding cash. Searches by RCMP agents assisted by dogs didn’t yield any results.

Helicopters need to work harder to stay aloft in the thin air found at high altitudes. Pilots must wear oxygen anytime their helicopters are above 10,000 feet. When the weather cleared up on June 11, more than two days after the call for help, rescuers were sent in. Two Kluane National Park Visitor Safety staff and a certified rescue pilot flew a helicopter from Haines Junction to Mount Logan on a Trans North helicopter. A second rescue team specializing in high-altitude rescues came from Denali National Park as a backup, but it turns out they weren’t needed. The experience of the climbers in this case really helped, McKinnon said. “Talking with them during the whole rescue, over the days, they helped us monitor their vital signs, their health, they were very professional about it and quite calm about it.” Everyone was safely back on the ground in Haines Junction by 10:30 p.m. Mount Logan is Canada’s highest mountain at 19,551 feet (5,959 metres.) About 50 climbers try to summit the mountain every year. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com
In the May 10 case, the blowtorch wasn’t lit. Whitehorse RCMP didn’t clarify whether or how the blow-torch was used on June 11, citing the need to protect the integrity of the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Whitehorse RCMP at 667-5555. (Pierre Chauvin)

Stolen motorcycle found in Porter Creek Myles Dolphin News Reporter
A
Slovenian man whose motorcycle journey around the world was put on hold last month after his bike was stolen in Porter Creek has been reunited with his trusty ride. Bostjan Skrlj has been to 41 countries since 2008 on his BMW GS-1200 adventure motorcycle. It was stolen on the evening of May 10, along with Skrlj’s passport and other important documents, which were inside its boxes. Last Thursday afternoon, he received a call from someone who claimed to have found the bike, and wanted to verify its vehicle identification number. The person called back about an hour later, Skrlj said, and confirmed it was his bike. The RCMP was also contacted and the bike, which was found “not far away” in Porter Creek, was eventually towed back to Skrlj’s home. It was a bittersweet feeling to see the motorcycle again, Skrlj said on Monday morning. “It’s hard to describe how I felt when I saw the bike because I was happy, but also angry because someone put their hands on something that I really care about,” he said. “Especially when it’s clear they didn’t know what they were doing. I can’t accept that.” The damage to the motorcycle is extensive, he said. The body has been scratched, wires have been pulled out, the seat is ripped, lights are broken, and the computer system is damaged. Someone tried to hot-wire it, Skrlj thinks, but was unsuccessful. Even the ignition switch is broken, preventing him from putting the key in. But fortunately Skrlj knows the bike inside out, having worked on it for the past eight years

Bostjan Skrlj was reunited with his motorcycle after it turned up in Porter Creek a month after being stolen. throughout his journey. In the month that the bike was missing, he said he never gave up hope of finding it again. “The whole time I was really positive, thinking they’d give up and leave it somewhere because it’s a well-known bike,” he said. “I was worried they might take it apart and sell the parts, because I have a really good suspension on it. But they didn’t touch it, which proves they really didn’t know what they were doing.” Skrlj said he’s now waiting to hear back from the RCMP about whether the person will be charged with theft. Considering he’s travelled through some much tougher countries in the past, he was surprised the bike was stolen here, he said. In the past he’s had his keys
stolen by children in Jordan, he said, but he knew they wouldn’t be able to get away because the bike is too heavy. Then there was a scary inci-
dent in southern Lebanon when he got a bit too close to the Israeli border, and a few Hezbollah soldiers pointed their guns at him. “My first reaction was to start
laughing because it was like in a movie,” he said. “They checked all my boxes and documents. But an hour later they invited me to go for drinks and food with them, so it turned out to be a great experience.” For now, Skrlj plans on saving a bit more money and repairing his bike, piece by piece. He’s also waiting on his new passport, which he had to travel to the Slovenian embassy in Ottawa to apply for. Someone started an online fundraiser for him back in May but he shut it down because he didn’t feel right taking money from people. “It’s not who I am,” he said, “and I prefer that if people want to donate money, they do it to people who really need it. But I really want to thank everyone who has been so helpful and generous towards me so far.” Skrlj said he wants to eventually complete his goal of traveling to every country on Earth. But first, he has to go back to Manitoba next spring and attempt to cross the sea ice of Hudson Bay over to Nunavut, after an unsuccessful attempt earlier this year.

n the last 18 months I have been witness to something amazing: the empowerment of a group of people who usually live in the margins of our society – drug users. With the goal of reaching out and supporting the health care needs of people who use illicit drugs, Blood Ties Four Directions began hosting weekly meetings. While we were able to bring to the drug users important health information such as methadone access, Hepatitis-C treatment, harm reduction techniques and overdose prevention, something else was also unfolding at the weekly meetings: empowerment, dignity and self-worth. The Drug User Coalition members decided that they wanted you – the average person in our community – to know them a little better, to understand them and to see them as the whole persons they are. Over several weeks they worked together to put these words together – all of the quoted paragraphs in this article – for you. “We are the Drug User Coalition. In 2012 we began as a peer support group meeting weekly to discuss issues affecting people who use drugs in Yukon. When we started there were only two or three people coming; however, in the past year, we have had steady attendance of about 10 people. “We discuss a broad range of topics including: health and wellness, housing, empowerment, drug policy and treatment options. As well, we have been learning from similar groups that exist in other regions in Canada and the world. Our goal is to give a voice to people who use drugs in Yukon. “Our community had a need for a group like ours; where the concerns of drug users could be heard in a safe non-judgemental environment. As people who use drugs, we have experienced discrimination and marginalization in our efforts to get housing,

Pierre Chauvin food and employment. Through attending this group, we are reminded that we are not only our addiction; that there is more to us. We are people with jobs, homes, families, and we contribute positively to the community. “The Drug User Coalition empowers people who use drugs to have a voice and to be safe. We are not just drug users; we are people first. “Our message to the community of Whitehorse is that drug use exists in our community. Please, don’t look away from the issues we face as drug addicts. We want equal access to the resources available. We need to access clean equipment in a safe non-judgemental environment; we need opportunities to earn a living, safe housing, and health care. People who use drugs are people first. We are human beings and seek acceptance. We need help and support, not above anyone else, but not forgotten either. We are members of this community and have valuable insights and perspectives to provide.� Empowerment and dignity is one of the best health outcomes we could ever have hoped for. People who use drugs must first and foremost see themselves as people who have the right not to be marginalized. Once people no longer accept and see themselves as marginalized, they no longer
accept discriminatory practices such as being banned from health centres, housing programs, and other social programs they might need in the journey to becoming as healthy as possible. The second thing that happens when you bring a group of people together every week that are used to being isolated is that they empower each other and invest in the health of each other. “Our message to other people who are using drugs is we want you do it safely. The Drug User Coalition does not promote drug use but we do promote safe drug use. We operate from a harm reduction approach which is a philosophy that supports the development of policies and programs that help people address the harmful effects of substance use including overdose, HIV, Hepatitis C, addiction, poverty, violence, isolation, homelessness and incarceration.� I am proud to be able to offer the weekly support group to the Drug User Coalition, I am privileged to witness the empowerment and dignity of these people, and I am better for knowing them – and now, dear reader, I hope you are too. Patricia Bacon is the executive director of Blood Ties Four Directions Centre. Today is Harm Reduction Awareness Day.
LETTERS No justice for young vandals I must say that I’m not happy about the laws dealing with under-aged vandals. Apparently when a child is under-aged and does damage to private property they can’t be charged. Okay, I understand that, but the parents should be liable for any damage their kids do. And it should not be up to the victims to take the parents to court. On June 2 at 10:30 p.m., while we were asleep, three young boys decided to throw rocks in the direction of our house in Watson Lake. They managed to break three windshields on three vehicles and two side windows on two of the vehicles. They also broke one of our house windows. Although the officer on duty was sympathetic to our cause, he said he could not charge the kids as they were under-aged.

He also said it would be pointless to take the parents to court, as said parents have nothing. So now we are stuck with the repairs on everything while the kids continue their rampage and the parents get off scot-free. Tell me does that seem fair? No. Although the insurance will pay for damages to the 2012 Dodge truck, and to the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, that leaves us to pay the deductible on both and the insurance will go up because of the claim we put in. This leaves us to pay for the windshield and the tinted side window of the blazer and the house window ourselves. And this is all because three young boys, who should have been at home and in bed, decided it would be fun to throw rocks at private property. There again we still lose as victims of vandalism. I would like to see a 9 p.m. curfew in this
town for 14 and under children, and I’m not the only one. If this curfew gets broken more than three times I then suggest action be taken to remove the children from the home. Also I would like to see that the parents of the children who willfully damage private property be made to pay restitution to the victims. In our case, why should we have to pay to have our vehicles repaired, or pay any deductible amount, or have our insurance go up because unsupervised children think it is a blast to throw rocks? I don’t blame these children, but if they’re not stopped now Lord knows where they will be later on in life. What can a child learn when they are not being supervised because the parents don’t care?

Semantics shouldn’t obscure Canada’s shameful history of residential schools clearly rooted in ideas of racial supremacy and a desire to maintain the privileged position of the white minority. To critics, the very fact that the expression exists is (further) evidence that those who use it are radicals prone to exaggeration. To defenders, the fact that some reject it is (further) evidence that they live in a state of denial about the plight of the Palestinians. Whatever the merits, the only thing that the use of the expression “Israeli apartheid” has served to accomplish is to further polarize an already highly polarized debate. “Rape culture” is another controversial example. To those who use the expression, it is a way to highlight our society’s tendency towards victim-blaming, and widespread misunderstanding of the meaning of consent. To those who oppose the term it is felt that they are being collectively blamed for something they abhor. Unfortunately these semantic debates have become proxy battles for the more important discussions that should be taking place on these various issues. It is unfortunate that more time is spent discussing whether these phrases are reasonable to use or not, and less about the underlying issues themselves. What a waste of time and
energy. It is far less important that we agree that “cultural genocide” is the best way to describe Canada’s treatment of aboriginal peoples than it is that we agree that the legacy of residential schools is a national disgrace and that there is still much work to do to improve the social conditions that resulted from it. To those who use these expressions, I would suggest that it may be wise to do a strategic rethink. It is not as if you are wrong, or that these words are inaccurate. For what it is worth, I think that Canada’s mistreatment of the First Nations people clearly did constitute a cultural genocide. Contrary to popular belief, the term “genocide” has a significantly broader meaning than is popularly understood and extends beyond the intentional killing of a racial or ethnic group. But at the same time it seems clear that when words like “genocide” and “apartheid” are used in contexts that don’t necessarily jive with common understanding of the words, their use becomes a double-edged sword and inspire as much backlash as they do awareness. Those who have a strong negative reaction to these expressions should also step back and question whether
they are nitpicking an unimportant detail. You don’t need to accept or adopt a particular term to appreciate that the underlying issues deserve our attention. Rightly or wrongly, the strong rejection of the idea that Canada committed a cultural genocide against the First Nations people is perceived as downplaying the issue, and this is not an issue that should be downplayed. Residential schools may now be closed, but their legacy is still felt by hundreds of thousands of aboriginal Canadians, including many who live right here in the Yukon. Residential schools are not ancient history. Survivors of residential schools are still alive today. So too are their children and grandchildren who were raised in homes by parents and grandparents who were coping with a childhood of their own that was irreparably damaged. Instead of squabbling over words – which ultimately are just man-made linguistic constructs with no intrinsic meaning of their own – we should focus our attention on the ongoing human rights catastrophe that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission reports on. Kyle Carruthers is a born-and-raised Yukoner who lives and practises law in Whitehorse.
ed, unaccountable Senate. I do not for a moment say that all senators are bad; many are committed and believe that they have a contribution to make, and in fact have from time to time issued very good reports on such issues as a guaranteed annual income, which the NDP supports. This does not, however, justify an outdated institution. The NDP has no members in the Senate and has been for abolition for decades, not because of the financial abuses we see today but because it is fundamentally undemocratic. The current scandals simply reinforce the need for change. The question is how to do this? It does require constitutional change, and as someone Werner Rhein Whitehorse who has lived through Meech Lake and the Charlottetown AcScrap the Senate cord, I can appreciate how that makes everyone very apprehenIt is difficult these days not to sive. watch a news program or read a An elected Senate has been newspaper and not hear about proposed as an alternative, but, the Senate.

Note
the recent case in Alaska where because of deadlock the Alaska ferries have said they may stop after July 1 if the budget is not passed. Tom Mulcair has been the only leader who has committed to work with provinces and territories to discuss abolition. I believe, as does the former Conservative Senator, Hugh Segal, that the first step must be a national referendum. This would open up the debate and in this manner truly reflect the views of Canadians and surely would make it difficult for provincial and territorial leaders to ignore. Referenda of course are not binding. I recall a number of years ago meeting with Helen Clarke, then Labour prime minister of New Zealand, and a referendum had recently been held on proportional representa-
tion, not something any majority government really wants. But it passed and now New Zealand has a more fair electoral system. Trying to reform the Senate is a form of intellectual acrobatics, rather like trying to put a puzzle together with missing pieces. Would it not be better to create a system that is truly innovative and useful for the 21st century and beyond? A fairer electoral system would be more representative of voters’ preferences and this is something that New Democrats and many Canadians support. Fair Vote Canada, including a local chapter, work toward enhancing our democracy. We can do so much better than the status quo. Canadians are smarter than that.

LETTERS Shut down the LNG plant Open letter to Environment Minister Wade Istchenko, On May 26 and 29, 2015 a group of concerned Yukoners submitted a complaint about the liquefied natural gas power generation plant in Whitehorse. It has now been more than two weeks and we have not heard back from you. When will we hear from you? And how will you tell us that, despite clear evidence that Yukon laws and regulations were not followed to obtain a building permit, your government didn’t have a predetermined outcome in mind – and that the whole public consultation wasn’t a farce? One would have thought that over 900 comments to YESAB and many comments and presentations to the Yukon Utilities Board would have had at least some effect on the permitting outcome. Even a comment from Environment Canada and the company Risknology from Texas were neglected. Yet despite unaddressed issues regarding safety issues and pollution caused by LNG, this project is still getting an operating permit.
Minister, you have a legal obligation to care for the wellbeing of all Yukoners. You are also legally obliged to respond immediately to our complaint, and to forward it to The Yukon Council on the Economy and the Environment for review of the complaint. The legally mandated steps to assign a permit to the Whitehorse Diesel Conversion Project have not been fulfilled and therefore we demand an immediately stop to all activities on this project. Honourable minister, we strongly believe that you cannot hide behind silence and ignore this complaint. On behalf of a group of concerned Yukoners,

THE ARTS Whitehorse Nuit Blanche back for second year ‘It’s not about looking at something on a wall indoors. It’s a very different idea of what art is.’
Joel Krahn/Yukon News

I
f you see people wandering the streets of downtown Whitehorse this Saturday night until the early hours of Sunday morning, a zombie apocalypse hasn’t taken over. Whitehorse Nuit Blanche will have, though. For the second year the 12hour festival will run in Whitehorse, aiming to make the public interact with more than a dozen art performances in and outside the city. Starting at 7 p.m. on Saturday, eight Nuit Blanche artists and seven other off-site ones will be performing until 7 a.m. on Sunday. Most of the art installations need the public to participate, said organizer Aimee Dawn Robinson. “It’s the people and the interaction they have with one another that create the artwork,” she said. “It’s not about looking at something on a wall indoors. It’s a very different idea of what art is.”
While most artists are from the territory, one came all the way from India. Hermant Puri, who arrived on Tuesday, will be walking around the city, showing Bollywood films on a tablet strapped to his body. But the piece will have a special connection: his art partner Mitali Nath will be doing the exact same performance, 9,600 kilometres away, in New Delhi. The two will be linked via Skype, and Nath’s performance will be shown at the Watershed Cafe. The goal, in part, is to “blur the boundaries between time zones,” said Puri in an interview. “We feel it’s a small world.” Screening movies and Skyping with somebody on the other side of the world for such a long period of time presents its challenges, he admitted. “It’s a challenge for us to entertain people for 12 hours,” Puri said. As India is 12.5 hours ahead of Yukon time, Nath’s performance will begin in the morning while Puri’s will start in the evening. In a room at the waterfront trolley roundhouse building,
residents will be able to play with 15 experimental instruments that Jordy Walker set up. Each instrument has a piano string strung across a railway tie with a microphone in the wood tuned to an amplifier. “When they’re all played together or in series, it will create a kind of melody,” said Walker. When all 15 are played at the same time, they sound like a single instrument, like a piano, he said. As a guitar and a piano player, Walker loves the sound of strings. It’s his second time making a sound installation for the festival. “I’ve had an interest in participatory sound experiences where people … create the final piece,” he said. At Shipyards Park, Nicole Bauberger and Jessica Vellenga will be making a giant spiderweb from doilies, strung from the trees and lampposts. The idea came to Bauberger after she learned about First Nation sewing techniques. “It made me think about what kind of art my grandma and great-grandma used to do,” she said.
“I wanted to connect with the kind of art they did,” she said. She’ll be bringing doilies that belonged to her own greatgrandmother. With the help of participants, she and Vellenga will make lines of chain stitch from the corner of doilies to make the web. They’ll also be making a spider web on a structure resembling a wall tent to make a canvas. Bauberger said she got the idea when she learned the word spider web in French translates literally to “spider canvas.” There is no prior knowledge of crochet required, and Vellenga said she’ll be happy to teach people about it. She may be known by some Yukoners as the face behind some of the yarn bombing done in the city, which has resulted in the airport’s historic DC-3 and one of the Beringia Interpretive Centre’s mammoth being draped in knitting. “We’re honouring the hard work women made,” Vellenga said about the doilies. The last piece at Nuit Blanche may offer participants a muchneeded break after 12 hours of
art performances. French chef Cecile Legare will be cooking all night to prepare brioche and onion soup for the festival-goers. The free breakfast will be happening at the francophone centre on Strickland Street. Onion soup is a traditional dish offered after weddings, usually around 6 a.m. in France, Legare said. The soup is said to have medicinal properties–helping people digest and getting over the impending crushing hangover. “Even if it sounds weird, it’s really enjoyable to eat something savoury at 6 a.m.,” Legare said about the onion soup. The prospect of waking up early to prepare brioche doesn’t concern her – the former chef worked from 2010 until recently as a baker, then a cook in Whitehorse.

Restaurant servers aren’t supposed to be mind readers by Judith Martin
MISS
MANNERS DEAR MISS MANNERS: I’m one spouse in a biracial, same-sex marriage. It really rips me when waitpersons don’t pick up on the fact that my husband and I are a couple (let alone spouses) and ask us whether we want separate checks. So much so that I make a significant deduction to their tip (up to 50 percent if they’ve done something else to annoy me). I realize this isn’t teaching them anything, but short of trying to engage an already annoying person in additional unwanted chatter, what can I do to make myself feel better about the situation? Do you have any thoughts, please? GENTLE READER: Chiefly that you stop overthinking this. How, exactly, would you propose teaching service people to recognize that two people, of whatever race or gender, are a couple? Eavesdropping to discover if they are discussing whether the washing machine should be fixed or replaced? Checking to see if they are playing footsie under the table? And what if they are a couple, unmarried or married, who keep separate accounts? Or one of them is taking the other out for a special treat? Sadly, Miss Manners shouldn’t think you would have to work that hard to find evidence of prejudice. DEAR MISS MANNERS: Working at a restaurant in a small tourist town, I find myself and my coworkers constantly being photographed. Some people will ask first and, depending on how busy I am, I will oblige. Is it rude for people to snap shots of their server, cashier, etc., or is it just part of working in the service industry? GENTLE READER: It is rude to interrupt someone who is working with non-work-related matters, but it is not unreasonable to expect that at tourist destinations, pho-

tography is part of the service. If it bothers you, Miss Manners recommends that for the customers who do not ask permission, you find a way to be inadvertently looking the other direction at something work-related. DEAR MISS MANNERS: I volunteered to drive a neighbor’s daughter to school due to my neighbor’s sickness, and have been doing so all year. The young lady is consistently late and makes us wait outside 5 to 10 minutes each morning. I have other children to drive who need to be on time, as well as myself for work. Is it too much of me to expect the young lady to be ready to leave at the appropriate time? I feel bad leaving without her, but one morning I had to. GENTLE READER: Repeat if necessary. DEAR MISS MANNERS: Is there a switch that goes off when people announce a pregnancy and that sends out the “I can’t be friends with you anymore� alarm? During my pregnancy, and now my first few months of motherhood, I’ve noticed people removing me from social media without notice, texting less, or even just ignoring me for a week or month, then getting a “Don’t you have a baby now?� as a response to an invitation. Last time I ate lunch with one of my girlfriends, she said, “It’s weird seeing you as a mom. I just ... I dunno, man, you’ve changed! Not in a bad way! It’s just hard to see it.� And she left without saying
goodbye. I got a text saying maybe I changed too much. Does becoming a parent change a woman that much? Do I need to make new friends? My heart hurts. I feel like myself, still geeky, cheeky me, just with a son to look after as well. GENTLE READER: It strikes Miss Manners that it is your friends who have changed. At least she hopes so, as she trusts that you would not otherwise have kept friends who treated you so poorly. Furthermore, they are extremely short-sighted. Surely at some point they will experience a change in their own lives (new job, romance, pet, marriage, baby) that temporarily disrupts their social schedules. Certainly, there is an adjustment period during new parenthood when one’s schedule and attention span are no longer one’s own. Some mothers are able to handle this while maintaining a pleasant social life with friends who are childless (or unable to remember when their own children were babies). And some new mothers become incapable of carrying on an adult conversation that doesn’t concern a baby’s bodily functions or require frequent interruptions for general panic, which is wearing even on sympathetic friends. For a sensible mix of grown-up and baby talk, it is a good idea to make new friends of new mothers.

Our diverse clientele base includes: those who face temporary and/or permanent physical and emotional challenges; seniors; and able bodies individuals.
erilee Huff’s last cigarette was inhaled just moments before her laser therapy session. All of her adult life, this $100-a-week habit could not be broken with any other smoking secession plan. That was four weeks and one day ago. Today, she has returned to offer herself as proof that, yes, it is easy to quit smoking. Roslyn Woodcock interjects, here, to say that Huff is on the “great end of the continuum.â€? The owner/operator of Imagine Laserworks, in Whitehorse, points out that, “some people struggle; it isn’t a cakewalk for everybody who walks in the door. “But we do have a good success rate: at six months we are at 70 per cent and, after one year, we are at 60 per cent. “Other programs are under 20 per cent.â€? The Canadian Cancer Society says there isn’t enough scientific evidence to prove that laser therapy is effective, but some people do find it useful. Woodcock’s typical client is male, in the trades, 50 years old or so, and has tried everything else to quit. And 70 per cent of them were referred by other clients who found that lasers work. Woodcock explains that the laser can eliminate the physical addiction to nicotine, but the habit remains. “Most people, who smoke, will tell you they aren’t aware of the habit piece because the cigarette is in their mouth before they think about it. “But if they allow themselves the space to think about it, they realize they don’t actually want it ‌ there is no craving.â€? Various protocols can also remove cravings for alcohol, drugs and excessive food. But how can a laser remove a craving? “Nicotine is a drug that reduces your ability to create your own endorphins,â€? says Woodcock. “And then nicotine replaces it. “So, most people who smoke, are left with using nicotine as a false endorphin.

Many health plans, offered by employers, will cover the costs. “I spent $400 to save $4,500 this year and $5,000 every year after that,� says Huff. “So it is a pretty good investment.� And her daughter doesn’t think she is “stinky� anymore.

erilee Huff’s last cigarette was inhaled just moments before her laser therapy session. All of her adult life, this $100-a-week habit could not be broken with any other smoking secession plan. That was four weeks and one day ago. Today, she has returned to offer herself as proof that, yes, it is easy to quit smoking. Roslyn Woodcock interjects, here, to say that Huff is on the “great end of the continuum.â€? The owner/operator of Imagine Laserworks, in Whitehorse, points out that, “some people struggle; it isn’t a cakewalk for everybody who walks in the door. “But we do have a good success rate: at six months we are at 70 per cent and, after one year, we are at 60 per cent. “Other programs are under 20 per cent.â€? The Canadian Cancer Society says there isn’t enough scientific evidence to prove that laser therapy is effective, but some people do find it useful. Woodcock’s typical client is male, in the trades, 50 years old or so, and has tried everything else to quit. And 70 per cent of them were referred by other clients who found that lasers work. Woodcock explains that the laser can eliminate the physical addiction to nicotine, but the habit remains. “Most people, who smoke, will tell you they aren’t aware of the habit piece because the cigarette is in their mouth before they think about it. “But if they allow themselves the space to think about it, they realize they don’t actually want it ‌ there is no craving.â€? Various protocols can also remove cravings for alcohol, drugs and excessive food. But how can a laser remove a craving? “Nicotine is a drug that reduces your ability to create your own endorphins,â€? says Woodcock. “And then nicotine replaces it. “So, most people who smoke, are left with using nicotine as a false endorphin.

Bikers roar into new season Tom Patrick News Reporter
T
he Yukon Cross Country Motorcycle Association closed out last season with its first endurocross race. It was clearly a hit with bikers. So much so, the association kicked off its fifth season with another on Sunday. Thirty-eight riders took part in the Mosquito Enduro-X, hosted by the YCCMA, at the Schirmer Family Ranch off the South Klondike Highway. “People really like the format of the short heat races,” said YCCMA president Mike Beaman. “You get to race all day, the kids get to race more. And, of course, endurocross is a growing sport. It’s in the X Games now. “It’s challenging racing because you have more obstacles, so it allows people to use skill on the motorcycle versus just the speed of the motocycle. So you have to have skills on the motorcycle to win. “It levels the playing field. It doesn’t matter how big of a motor you have or how fast your bike is.” Before last season, the YCCMA had only hosted hare scramble races with long cross-country courses through the woods in which racers attempt to complete the most laps in an hour or two. In Sunday’s endurocross, riders competed in three 15-minute

Teams drive to the hoop at 3-on-3 tourney Tom Patrick News Reporter
M
other Nature was an AllStar for the Lynx Basketball 3 on 3 Tournament on Saturday. Warm temperatures and sunny skies helped make the first annual event – said to be Yukon’s only outdoor basketball tournament – a success. A total of 14 teams – eight open men’s, three open women’s and three U17 girls’ – took part in the tournament at Porter Creek Secondary. “Basketball players who are used to playing in gyms through the winter typically enjoy the chance to play outdoors, including the added challenge of playing with outdoor elements like sun, wind and a ground surface that’s much less forgiving if you fall down,” said organizer Sarah Crane in a news release. “3 on 3 is becoming a very popular form of the sport. The action happens at a single hoop, distilling the game down to the basics of attacking off the dribble, passing and shooting. With fewer players around the hoop, there’s often more room to drive and attack the hoop.” Dannica Nelson/Lynx Basketball

Y
ukon College and Office Supply Centre are the kings and queens of the diamond. The two teams won their respective divisions at the Yukon Minor Softball Territorial Championship at Whitehorse’s Pepsi Softball Centre on Saturday. Yukon College took the U-14 division title with an 18-8 win over Dave’s Cleaning Crew in the final. Head coach Chris McNutt nicknamed his team the “Big Black Train,” referring to their black jerseys and, perhaps, their base running as well. “They were demons on the base pass,” said McNutt. “We said, we’re going to go aggressive in the final tournament and run with speed … They’ve had good hitting, so we said OK, speed on the base pass. Be aggressive, push that double into a triple, steal home. We might have gotten 20 runs this weekend just stealing home.” “We played well. Lots of good throws to first base and we got most of our runs by stealing home and bases,” said College outfielder Kyron Crosby, who caught a pop fly for the final out of the game. “It was a good tournament. The fields were perfect; the ball didn’t bounce around too much, so it was fair games. The umps did a good job.” The College crew won three straight for the title. In addition to aggressive base running, the team excelled from the mound, despite having lost their top pitcher to an injury. “Jacob Finton here, our starting pitcher, had a solid three innings,” said McNutt. “We lost our starting pitcher (Liam Hudson) to a

sprained ankle – the best pitcher on our team – but the other guys stepped up and really came along. Josh Zaccarelli also pitched extremely well. Matthew Tremblay got a big hit, just creamed one deep. For the most part, every one just played solid. Zack Zimmerman played excellent all weekend, all season, whatever position he went in.” The two teams had a much closer contest earlier in the day. Yukon College beat Dave’s 15-14 in the semifinal, pushing Dave’s to the bottom of the draw where they defeated third place’s M&M Meat Shops to reach the final. “I was really proud of how we played like a team,” said Dave’s head coach Ryan Hennings. “They’re happy with their performance. They were in tough with that team. We have a lot of the younger age … We have a lot of 12-year-olds and they have all 13-year-olds – not that we’re making any excuses. We played well, we played hard and I’m proud of everyone.
“They came a long way, had fun, and I think that’s what’s most important.” Office Supply Centre came together as a team when they needed to most. After losing to Canadian Tire earlier day, they bounced back to beat them 10-8 in the U-12 division final. “They started out pretty rough, but they came together as a team near the end and they definitely learned some skills,” said Office Supply co-head coach Ryan Mannen. “They surprised us at some positions, but the thing I’m going to take away from it most is the teamwork. At the beginning of the season we had a real mix of different characters and they learned to play as a team.” Office Supply lost three out of four games to Canadian Tire during the regular season. Canadian Tire beat Office Supply by four runs in the semifinal, forcing the eventual champs to come up through the bottom of the draw and reach the final with a win over

Next weekend a team of caring athletes will pedal in the Haines to Haines bike relay raising money to support our daughter and our little family as we all head to B.C. Children Hospital for her 3rd heart surgery. The team has worked hard for the past couple of months rallying support, and the support has come flooding in from generous individuals and businesses. We can’t thank you all enough. What a great thing it is to be a part of such a compassionate community.
