After repeated losses, the Potluck Food Co-op is asking its members whether it should continue its operation or look at other options. Pierre Chauvin News Reporter
F
aced with an expected cash shortfall this year, Whitehorse’s Potluck Food Co-op will decide in the next few months whether to stay open. The co-op, which opened in November 2013 to offer organic, fresh and locally grown produce, lost more than $35,000 during its first year, and is so far expecting a $5,000 loss for this year. “In the second year of a business it’s not at all abnormal, and we are doing so incredibly better than last year,� said Roslyn Woodcock, who sits on the co-op board of directors. On top of these difficulties, there’s also a new player in town expected to open soon, Farmer Robert’s, which is expected to deliver similar products: organic and locally grown food. The co-op doesn’t have a problem with Farmer Robert’s opening up, Woodcock said. “People think we’re going to
be upset because it’s competition,� she said. “But our whole point is to expand the local market.� At the co-op annual general meeting held on June 24, members were presented with four options: keeping the co-op running as it is, expanding it, shutting it down, or striking a partnership with Farmer Robert’s. “The fact there’s going to be an amazing location for local farmers to sell their produce is nothing but good for us, that means we can focus on different things,� Woodcock said. In his financial report presented at the meeting, co-op treasurer Peter Woodruff pointed out the co-op couldn’t afford to repeat the losses incurred in its first year. “A few insufficient orders could force (the) store to close,� he wrote. The co-op expected some losses in the first year, Woodcock said, and only opened after four years of gathering enough capital. One possibility being floated is that the co-op form
some sort of partnership with Farmer Robert’s. Another possible scheme could see the co-op close, with its leftover capital used to provide lowinterest loans to local farmers, she said. The co-op’s biggest expense comes from the staff who operate the physical store – customers place their orders online. The goal of 40 to 60 orders every two weeks isn’t met, Woodcock said, and combined with the tight margins, it isn’t enough to break even with the salary costs. The Potluck Food Co-op currently has 252 members. Memberships cost $250, a one-time fee that gives a vote for decisions related to the co-op, which is owned by its members. No matter what happens, the co-op will still work to bring local food to the local market, she said. “Even if our store shuts, we will continue doing whatever helps the local agricultural industry.� Contact Pierre Chauvin at pierre.chauvin@yukon-news.com

Top court dismisses Bell’s appeal of 911 fee decision The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear Bell Mobility’s appeal of court rulings that found the company needs to repay northern customers charged for non-existent 911 service. “We’re disappointed with the decision and will now move forward with the next phase of the proceeding,” Jason Laszlo, a spokesperson for Bell said in an email. It’s not clear what the next step will be. As usual, the top court didn’t provide reasons for refusing to hear the case. The case stems from a classaction lawsuit initiated by north-
ern customers, father and son James and Samuel Anderson, in the Northwest Territories. In 2013, Justice Ron Veale ruled the company was liable for charging the services that weren’t accessible to most Bell users in the territories – 911 only exists in Whitehorse. He ordered the company to pay back 30,000 customers in the Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories that were charged the 75-cent fee for nonexistent services. The decision was confirmed by the Northwest Territories Court of Appeal in January this year.

mineral exploration. Creditor protection does allow companies to break contracts if it will help them restructure, according to Jonathan Williams, the geologists’ lawyer. However, he believes his clients have an “underlying right in the land” that should prevent Yukon Zinc from being able to disclaim their royalties. He also said contracts cannot be broken if doing so would cause economic hardship, which he argues would be the case for Baknes and his colleagues. “It’s unlikely they’ll be able to generate a lot of revenue between now and their retirement,” he said. “Frankly, I think it’s very unfair what they’re trying to do here.” Chris Stocco, a vice-president in the deals practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers, the company monitoring Yukon Zinc, said this case may be the first of its kind in Canada. He said it’s particularly unusual to see royalty disclaimers issued to individual people. “This is the first time I’ve seen something like this,” he said. “It hasn’t been done before and there’s a question of whether it can be done.

Ross River school repairs on schedule: Public Works The two companies who bid to fix the crumbling Ross River School had dramatically different ideas of how much it would cost. Neither of these bids were originally low enough for the Yukon government. Ketza Pacific Construction in B.C. bid $2 million for the work which includes repairing 14 concrete pillars under the school’s crawl space and inspect all the beams. Whitehorse’s TSL Contractors Ltd. came in at $19 million. The two companies bid to fix the school, which was forced to shut down halfway through this school year when engineers
declared that the shifting and cracking building was unsafe. Melting permafrost under the school, which was built in 2000, is a major cause of the problem. The government had budgeted $1.8 million for the fixes, said Public Works spokesperson Doris Wurfbaum. To get Ketza’s bill under that mark, a few things were knocked off the to-do list. Rigged insulation will no longer be put on the school’s interior concrete piers. That’s OK with the department, she said, because officials want to be able to keep an eye on what’s happening. Geotechnical work was also cut and will now be a separate contract, she said. “This change in scope does not effect the quality or standard
for repairs being performed and all required repairs are being undertaken.” The work is already underway and expected to meet the Aug. 1 deadline so that kids can be back in class for the next school year. Meanwhile a study of the site, including the thermosyphon system which is supposed to draw heat away from the building foundation and surrounding soil, began in June. Students have been banned from the building since midJanuary. After an unplanned break of about two weeks, the 55 students finished the year in portables and other buildings around town.

Ground conditions are “known to require unusually costly foundation work, and it is considered ‘possible’ that they are not well enough understood at this time to avoid delays and cost increases as the project commences,” it says.

she said. Hanson said she wants to understand why the facility needs 300 beds and what other options for care were considered. The NDP is hosting its own public forum in September. They are also circulating a petition asking the government to consult Yukoners and reconsider Whistle Bend. Pasloski said consultations will be happening now that a location has been finalized. An advisory group of health care professionals is being created and they will be going out to consult with the seniors groups about what they want the facility to be, he said. No dates have been set yet. The premier insists concerns over building a continuing care facility in a new community existed when Copper Ridge Place was built 15 years ago. Now it fits in well with the community, he said. Ironically, that seems to be something the premier and Morton-Bielz can agree on. The success in Copper Ridge that the premier is trumpeting is the same thing she used to fight against Whistle Bend in the first place. Any public backlash against the facility going to Porter Creek would be short-lived, she wrote. “There was lots of opposition to Copper Ridge Place going in – the neighbours are now delighted we are there. The same will happen if PC is chosen.” Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

he president of Yukon Energy says the corporation has always known that Whitehorse’s new liquefied natural gas facility would not be used to restore power after short-term outages, and that it made this information public. But this may come as news to many residents, who have consistently heard the utility justify the new gas turbines as a necessary source of backup power to replace Whitehorse’s aging diesel generators. It turns out it’s not that simple. On July 10, just one day after Whitehorse’s new liquefied natural gas facility was up and running, the city suffered a power outage. To restore power, Yukon Energy’s remaining, diesel generators kicked in. Just two days earlier, to announce the new plant’s opening, Hall said in a news release that the natural gas facility would be used “for emergency backup or for peaking power in the cold winter months.� But Hall told the News today the utility had previously disclosed the fact that the natural gas generators would not be used for emergency restoration. He points to transcripts from Yukon Utilities Board hearings held in February 2014, when Yukon Energy responded to a series of questions from the regulators about the capacity of the LNG facility. “In terms of merit order, will the natural gas units be dispatched ahead of the Whitehorse diesel units? All other diesel units?� the utilities board asked in the document. Yukon Energy responded that “in normal operating conditions the natural gas engines will be dispatched ahead of all diesel generation due to their lower fuel costs. In certain grid outage power restoration scenarios some diesels may be started ahead of

Whitehorse’s new liquefied natural gas facility will not always be used to provide back-up power in the case of outages, says Yukon Energy. the natural gas units depending on the location and cause of the outage and restoration plan.� Hall acknowledged that Yukon Energy could have been clearer about that limitation in the months that followed. But he said he didn’t really think it mattered. “We didn’t think it was a particularly material issue because these situations don’t happen that often.� Hall said using diesel generators for restoration doesn’t change the economics of the project, because so little fuel is used during short-term outages. He said the LNG facility will be most important during droughts and peak hours, particularly in the winter when water flow is reduced and hydro power is insufficient. “The business case really wasn’t driven by these restoration events,� he said. Natural gas generators are not ideal for short-term emergencies because they can’t pick up load quickly, said Hall. When the city loses
power, entire subdivisions need to be brought back online as fast as possible. Natural gas can’t do that as well as diesel. The new LNG facility has two working generators, which have replaced two aging diesel generators that had reached end of life. The facility has room for a third natural gas generator, which could be running as early as 2017. Hall said he thinks that third generator will be needed “at some point,� but said that will depend on population growth and economic activity. Before the LNG facility was built, the Whitehorse diesel plant had seven functional generators. Hall said there are no plans to replace the remaining diesel generators within Yukon Energy’s 10-year plan. He also said Whitehorse would likely need to keep some diesel generation available until LNG technology advances. “You probably would keep a few
diesels around,� he said. “It’s possible that in the future, they come out with an LNG engine that can pick up load quickly.� But the project proposal submitted to the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board in August 2013 states that all of the city’s diesel generators are scheduled to be retired by 2026. “These retirement plans may also be advanced if Yukon Energy faces issues with spare parts, repairs or other considerations that shorten a unit’s effective life,� the report reads. Rob Yeomans, a YESAB spokesperson, said whether or not the board was aware the LNG facility would not be used for restoration during shortterm outages, the information may not have made much of a difference. “It wouldn’t necessarily affect our assessment much,� he said. “We’d have to look at so many different things in the project proposal.� Contact Maura Forrest at maura.forrest@yukon-news.com

How to not sell an idea to the public
CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2014

T
he Yukon Party’s approach to picking a spot for Whitehorse’s new continuing care centre is, typically enough, ass-backwards. First our cabinet ministers sat around a table and came to a decision. Now, only after it’s too late to change course, they contemplate the idea of asking people what they think. If that strikes you as an apt summary of what’s wrong with Premier Darrell Pasloski’s approach to governing in general, you are not alone. Many of us take it for granted that the territory’s public consultations are largely empty gestures anyways, conducted only once the government has decided what it wants to do. But our ministers could at least try harder at pretending to care. None of this is to say that plunking the new, 300-bed facility in Whistle Bend is necessarily the wrong move. But what information has been provided for public consumption certainly points in that direction. That makes the government’s reluctance to make its own case all the more infuriating. Certainly, nobody in cabinet can claim that they hadn’t been warned about possible blowback over their decision to locate the facility in a sparsely occupied neighbourhood that looks like it will remain a work-in-progress for many years to come. “The optics of placing a care facility in an empty field is really a nightmare and will haunt the government for far longer than a bit of community opposition,� Cathy Morton-Bielz, assistant deputy minister of continuing care, warned in a 2014 email that came to light this week. As we know, cabinet didn’t heed these warnings and pushed ahead. Again, this is not necessarily a bad thing. A controversial decision like this should be made by elected politicians, rather than behind-the-scenes civil servants. We expect our ministers to make up their own minds, rather than have opinions spoon-fed to them. But how did our politicians reach their conclusion that Whistle Bend was the best option? The rationale was never clearly communicated in writing to staff, as far as the unearthed documents show. Instead, it looks like they were simply told that the rules had changed. Whereas the government originally considered it a requirement that the new facility be located in an established neighbourhood, that condition was later lifted, for reasons that never seem to be spelled out. The rationale for this decision could have at least been explained during the public consultations that were supposed to be held this spring. But those meetings never happened. And when criticism began to rain down on the government this week, Pasloski didn’t bother justifying his decision based on its merits when he issued a news release. Instead, he simply attacked the opposition for daring to criticize the project. Only after Pasloski received some prodding in an interview yesterday did he say that cabinet worried that, had the government gone with an alternate site in Porter Creek, residents would have been too bothered by blasting needed to flatten the proposed area. Well, at least that’s something. Perhaps some cabinet ministers still have vivid memories of how rocks rained down on Lobird Trailer Park back in 2008, thanks to a botched blasting job. Even if the work was conducted properly, there’s no doubt that a bunch of noisy blasting would stir complaints.

Or perhaps our ministers made a simple calculation: it’s not worth ticking off a large number of Porter Creek residents, when there are far fewer people to upset in Whistle Bend at the moment. What that sort of calculation leaves out, of course, is the well-being of continuing care patients. For lack of a crystal ball, nobody knows for sure whether any of the gloomy predictions being made about the new facility will come to fruition. But it seems reasonable to worry about uprooting elderly residents and plopping them down in a further flung, unfinished neighbourhood. Whitehorse resident Tamara Goeppel, who made the access-to-information request that set off this week’s uproar, had previously written movingly about speaking to in-care elders about the prospects of being moved to the new facility. “Not one elder told me they wanted to go to Whistle Bend. They want to be downtown. And so do their families and friends. They spoke of their fear of being far away from the hospital. They spoke of feeling alone ‘out there’. They spoke of depression. “They also spoke of the days when the White Pass train rolled in and out of town almost daily. They spoke of the time before the Whitehorse dam and the good times at the Whitehorse Inn. Many had over 60 years of memories of our town by the river. None had memories of Whistle Bend.� Certainly, the appearance of Whistle Bend doesn’t help. Parts of the neighbourhood resemble a dustbowl devoid of vegetation, leading
some wags to call the neighbourhood “Wasteland Bend.� In time, the neighbourhood will fill out and green up. If you’re a young family with a long time horizon looking for a new home, moving there may make sense. But imagine you’re an 85-year-old resident at Macaulay Lodge. You know your current lodgings are set to be closed within five years, so it looks like you’ll be headed to Whistle Bend before long. And, if you’re patient and blessed with exceptional health, maybe you’ll see your new surroundings mature and begin to feel like a real community – by the time you are 100. Even the NDP Opposition admits that a new continuing care facility is needed. Whether the government should build one that is so big is enough matter, involving its own difficult tradeoffs. The current route is cheaper, but runs the risk of creating a more impersonal, institutional feel. In short, faced with several options about how to care for the territory’s elderly, it looks like our government picked what looked like the cheap, politically expedient option, rather than the one best for elderly residents. Except, of course, this route turned out to not be politically expedient at all. Given the ensuing uproar, it’s hard to imagine our ministers would have made the same choice if given a do-over. But this is not a crowd known for owning up to a mistake. (JT)

questions. We do know that the seasonally-adjusted total Yukon labour force rose by roughly 300 people to May from a year earlier, and that the participation rate – or percentage of working-age people that are employed or looking for work – stayed about the same at 75 per cent. This is one of the highest rates in Canada. However, employment in the Yukon fell by 200 jobs in the same period, causing unemployment to surge to 1,400 people in May before going even higher in June. Jobs at all levels of government went up 600 in May from a year before. Private employees went down 400 while the number of self-employed Yukoners fell a whopping 600. That means onefifth of self-employed Yukoners laid themselves off in the last year. This is probably mostly in Whitehorse, if you remember that the City of Whitehorse’s last annual report showed a sharp fall in business licenses. On the good news front, a higher percentage of Yukoners had full-time jobs than the national average. And average weekly earnings including overtime rose 2.9 per cent for the year up to March 2015 (latest month these statistics are available, excluding self-employed). However, this was not universal. Public administration employees saw their pay go up 5.5 percent, while
“goods-producing” employees saw their pay packets go down 8 per cent. We also know that the unemployment rate for women has been consistently lower than for men since 2013, except for early 2015 when female unemployment surged. It’s not clear why this pattern is changing so abruptly. The unemployment rate for youth is also consistently higher than for older Yukoners. Women aged 15-25 faced a 15 per cent unemployment rate while 20 per cent of young men were unemployed. One seldom-discussed factor is how employment insurance varies across the country. For readers who have lost their jobs thanks to the slowdown, it can make a big difference. The federal Conservative government has reduced benefits for unemployed people in Whitehorse. As reported in the Yukon News, they reduced the maximum number of weeks Whitehorse workers receive benefits from 45 to 36. They also increased the number of hours required to qualify for the program to 700 from 420. They did this in 2014, just before the surge in unemployment here. Our MP, Ryan Leef, voted for the Conservative budget that covered these measures. Federal officials recalculate the rates regularly, but as of writing this
column they remain worse for Whitehorse workers than before the Conservative changes. Expect this to come up in this October’s election. So what does this mean? For Yukon workers, it increases the pressure. There are more competitors for jobs, and the regional escape hatch of Fort MacMurray is no longer such an attractive fall-back. Workers with the right skills, work experience and references will have an advantage. If you don’t have those things, the tough but honest message is that you should probably be figuring out how to change that. For Yukon voters, with a spate of elections coming up over the next 18 months, it means getting ready for a barrage of improbable claims and counterclaims by our politicians. When they knock on the door and try to kiss your baby, ask them what they plan to do to improve the job situation. If they make vague promises to diversify the economy, improve relations with First Nations, or build more government buildings, ask them to try a bit harder.

a public inquiry into the issue but Ottawa has refused. Federal officials who attended the national roundtable in February said justice investments and a five-year, $25-million plan to reduce related violence are a better approach. Dawn Lavell Harvard, president of the Native Women’s Association of Canada, said she was pleased with Wednesday’s meeting despite what she called a lack of respect from Ottawa. Violence against indigenous women and girls is “a grave violation of human rights,� Lavell Harvard told the closing news conference. She lashed out at the federal government for not attending. “It is an insult to the memories of those women and girls that they’re not here.� Lavell Harvard called it “a slap in the face.� Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde said he was satisfied that the provinces are taking the Truth and Reconciliation

It estimated more than 6,000 boys and girls, about one in 25, died in the institutions. Scores of others endured horrific physical and sexual abuse. Bellegarde said Canada must close the quality-of-life chasm between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people. “That gap is not good for our people. It’s not good for the provinces, and it’s not good for the country.� B.C. Premier Christy Clark said Ottawa funds vital programs on reserves such as education and early childhood development. “Federal government plays a really important role in all of this,� she said. “It’s easier to do it with them, it’s a lot better to do it with them.

An email statement from federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt’s office on Wednesday said Ottawa has increased investment in First Nations education by 25 per cent and constructed 41 new schools. It said the govermment has also given women living on reserves the same matrimonial rights as all Canadians. Outside the meeting, a small group of protesters said Labrador has too often been stripped of its resources while the environment and social issues are neglected. “Labrador lives count too,â€? said Denise Cole, a Goose Bay resident with Inuit ancestry. “Just because we’re a small population doesn’t mean our lives count any less.

The pros and cons of the Bank of Canada’s interest rate cut Alexandra Posadzki Canadian Press
TORONTO n slashing its key interest rate to 0.5 per cent, the Bank of Canada is aiming to boost both consumer spending and business investment by providing cheaper access to capital. But the rate cut could also pose some risks to the country’s economy. Here is a look at some of the posiAdrian Wyld/CP tive and negative implications that Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz on Wednesday. could stem from the central bank’s announcement Wednesday: reducing the impact on consumer Mortgage debt borrowing.

Rate cuts tend to make a country’s economy seem less attractive to foreign investors, which typically drives the currency lower. Canadians looking to vacation abroad may have to dig a little deeper into their pockets, as a slide in the value of the loonie reduces their purchasing power. On the plus side, a cheaper loonie could lure more Americans north of the border, a boon to the Canadian tourism sector. Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz offers the following travel advice. “Try to get yourself a room somewhere in P.E.I. this summer,” Poloz said after announcing the rate cut. “It’s going to be a good year.”
could get some relief as Canada’s big banks move their prime rates lower. TD Bank was the first out of the gate to announce a reduction in its prime rate – which is used to determine variable-rate mortgages, home equity lines of credit and other kinds of variable-rate borrowing. But the lender only passed on 10 basis points of savings to borrowers, rather than the full 25 basis point cut. Reduced mortgage rates could cause house prices to soar higher in red-hot markets like Toronto and Vancouver, says Phil Soper, CEO of Royal LePage. That could leave some Canadians struggling to service their debts once interest rates begin to rise. But Soper says the second consecutive rate cut could also reduce consumer confidence and temper home sales to some extent, thus
Investments People stashing their money in high-interest savings accounts and market-linked GICs – instruments that are both tied to the prime rate – could see lower returns, according to Penelope Graham of RateSupermarket.ca. “This is really discouraging for savers, because they’re saving their money and they’re getting less of a return back,” says Graham, who recommends exploring alternative avenues such as fixed-rate GICs. Soami Kohly, fixed income portfolio manager at MFS Investment Management, says the stock market could see a bit of a boost, as the weaker loonie will likely serve as some stimulus for Canadian exports.

President Barack Obama answers questions about the Iran nuclear deal during a news conference in the East Room of the White House in Washington on Wednesday. conference, Obama asked if reporters had other questions about Iran – a highly unusual inquiry from a president who is rarely so freewheeling in his exchanges with the press. He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, saying he had “made notes” about the main criticisms of the deal and wanted to ensure each had been addressed. The accord requires Iran to dismantle key elements of its nuclear program, lower its uranium enrichment levels, and give up thousands of centrifuges. International inspectors will have access to Iran’s declared nuclear facilities, but must
request visits to Iran’s military sites, access that isn’t guaranteed. If Iran abides by the parameters, it will receive billions of dollars in relief from crippling international sanctions that have badly damaged the country’s economy. The deal does nothing to address Iran’s broader support for terrorism in the Middle East or its detention of several American citizens, though some U.S. officials hold out hope it could eventually lead Tehran to reassess its role in the world. Obama, however, outlined a narrower ambition, saying the deal should be judged solely on whether
it stops Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. As to whether the agreement might change Iran’s other behaviour, he said, “We’re not betting on it.” The president also sharply rebuffed a suggestion that he was content to let American detainees languish in Iran while he celebrated a deal. “That’s nonsense,” he said, adding that Iran would have taken advantage of any U.S. effort to link the nuclear accord to the release of U.S. citizens. Showing a command of technical nuclear issues, Obama spent much of the news conference trying to knock down criticisms of the deal point by point. To those who argue sanctions relief will leave Iran flush with cash to fund terrorism, Obama said Tehran is already backing Hezbollah and other groups on the cheap. He noted that the Iranian government is under pressure from citizens to use any influx of international funds to improve the country’s struggling economy. Obama insisted sanctions on Iran could be “snapped back” in place if Iran cheats on the deal, even if Russia and China object. He defended the 24-day window Iran would have before international inspectors gain access to suspicious sites, saying nuclear material “leaves a trace” and suggesting the U.S. has other means of monitoring facilities.

Meet the shuckers
Ashley Joannou News Reporter
A
rmed with nothing but a barrel, fresh oysters, knives and some ice, Eddie Rideout and Andrew Gilbutowicz are serving the raw, slimy seafood everywhere from birthday parties to local restaurants. The friends started the Wayfarer Oyster Bar catering company last October. Rideout compares himself and his business partner to troubadours. “We’ve got oyster knives and a bunch of oysters, we stop at the Deck at the High Country and then go to someone’s patio for their birthday on Saturday and then on the Sunday we can leave and drive to Dawson.” For obvious reasons, freshness matters when it comes to serving raw oysters on the half shell. “We’re in the Yukon and obviously there aren’t any oysters growing anywhere in the territory – if there is, I advise not eating them – but we are very close to Alaskan seafood,” Gilbutowicz says. The pair is constantly picking up fresh oysters flown into the territory, often, they say, the day after they have been harvested. Alaskan product comes from Haines Packing Co. “There is that kind of tight connection to where they’re actually being grown and I think that is definitely translated to whoever is eating them for sure. They can definitely feel that,” Gilbutowicz says. Most of their events have three or four different types of oysters to taste, sometimes from B.C. or Alaska and sometimes from the east coast. That provides a variety of tastes and textures. Rideout says it’s a big mistake to think all oysters are the same. “It’s like thinking all beer tastes the same or all coffee tastes the same,” he says. “If you talk to anybody who’s a beer geek or a coffee nerd and tell them that everything is the same, there are people who could come in here and talk to you for 40 minutes about the four coffees that are sitting right there.” Gilbutowicz says meeting people who have never tried an oyster before is part of the fun. Not everyone is enthusiastic about the prospect of slurping raw seafood, but he says Way-

Since starting the Wayfarer Oyster Bar catering company last October, Andrew Gilbutowicz, left, and Eddie Rideout have been shucking oysters at festivals and parties around the Yukon. farer has a way of winning over skeptics. When someone has reservations, “it’s probably because they’ve had it somewhere at some restaurant, they’ve come out of the back of the house, they’ve been on a plate with no ice or something like that,” says Gilbutowicz. “Whoever has served it to them has no idea where they’re from, how they’re farmed and how fresh they are. “So by having oysters on the

more of an enjoyable experience.” The service already has a growing fan base. At the Atlin music festival last weekend they shucked and served 850 oysters. Twenty-two people had never tried them before. The oldest newbie was in her 50s and the youngest was five. “He ate three of his dad’s oysters and his dad had to get four more,” Rideout says. Rideout and Gilbutowicz met in Iqaluit in 2008. Gilbutowicz represented Nunavut in two Canadian Chefs’ Congresses.
But the two friends credit their love of the oyster to time spent at land-locked Ottawa’s renowned restaurant, The Whalesbone Oyster House. After moving there for school, Gilbutowicz spent four years working at the restaurant. He cooked, catered, shucked and competed in oyster-shucking competitions – placing seventh in a national competition one year, for shucking 18 oysters in two minutes and one second. “I’d been going there the whole year I was in grad school. I’d just go there and hang out and have beers and oysters and food,” Rideout said. They say the restaurant – run by Joshua Bishop and Peter McCallum – has turned out about a dozen former employees who have gone on to create their own oyster businesses all over the country using the techniques they learned there. “There’s three steps to the oyster process, there’s the farmer, there’s the purveyor or the expert that knows how to shuck them and then there’s the person to eat them,” Gilbutowicz says. Rideout moved to the Yukon three years ago and Gilbutowicz came last year. He’s from King’s Point, a small Newfoundland town with a population of 500. Gilbutowicz is from London, Ont. Both say you don’t have to live near water to appreciate good seafood. “There is a thing where those landlocked places, I think, when they get those products that come from either coast, they’re going to treat them with a great amount of care and they’re willing to pay a good amount of money for them,” Gilbutowicz says. Right now they’re enjoying the mobility of the tiny business they’ve created but haven’t ruled out a brick-and-mortar location in the future, Rideout says. “We do envision sometime in the future, if there’s an opportunity in Whitehorse, if we find the right location, maybe considering an oyster bar/sustainable seafood kind of small restaurant, but we’re not going to race into anything.” More information about Wayfarer Oyster Bar can be found on its Facebook page.

Fitch’s survey notes everything from motorcycle races to washed-out bridges to coal mining affecting creek after creek. Again and again he concludes “long-term cumulative impacts on cutthroat trout and bull trout.� Scientists suggest land that contains trout streams shouldn’t have more than about just over half a kilometre of trail, cutline or road per square kilometre. The disturbance density in parts of the Oldman watershed is nearly 10 times that. The reason, Fitch said, is sediment. Nearby roads, forest disturbance and stream crossings all cause soil to wash into the current. Scientists used to believe that silt simply washed out. No longer. “What researchers are now finding is that this sediment actually starts to get trapped into the gravels and cobbles that make up the stream bed,� Fitch said. “That stuff solidifies, so that not only is it difficult for water to permeate through, it’s very difficult for trout to build a redd (nest). “Trout would have to come equipped with a pickaxe to break through some of that substrate.� And those hardpack streambeds aren’t going away anytime soon, said Fitch. “Some researchers have said this might endure for centennial time.

A new survey of trout streams in southwest Alberta suggests that virtually all of them are threatened by industrial development or overuse. populations are estimated at five per cent of historic levels. Bull trout – Alberta’s provincial fish – have lost at least 70 per cent of their original range. Biologists used to count more than 100 redds on Hidden Creek. Last fall, after the region was logged, Fitch counted 15. Alberta’s previous Tory government completed a landuse plan for the entire South Saskatchewan River watershed, which includes the Oldman. Fitch said it barely mentions fish, contains no specific recommendations for their protection and defers most important decisions to local management bodies. “I was underwhelmed.� Fitch said the decline over the last generation or two in southern Alberta has been echoed all over the province. Arctic grayling, once common in the north, are down to 10 per cent of historic levels.
Goldeye have all but vanished from rivers where they formerly abounded. The declines will continue until Alberta changes its landuse policies, Fitch said. “We have applied too many things to the landscape for too long.� A spokeswoman for NDP Environment Minister Shannon Phillips acknowledged trout are in decline. But Laura Tupper defended the previous government’s plans. “Headwaters protection, controlling industrial activity and monitoring water quality are just a few measures under the (plan) that will work to improve threatened fish populations,� she wrote in an email. Tupper said the government is spending $10 million to restore streams damaged in the 2013 floods and to support other watershed management efforts.

Several Portland-area chefs are now testing the sea “vegetable� in its raw or cooked form. And MBA students at OSU are preparing a marketing plan for a new line of dulse-based specialty foods and exploring the potential for a new aquaculture industry. There are no commercial operations that grow dulse for human consumption in the U.S. and chefs say fresh, high-quality seaweed is hard to come by. “The dulse grows using a water recirculation system,� said OSU researcher Chris Langdon, who developed the strain. “Theoretically, you could create an industry in eastern Oregon almost as easily as you could along the coast with a bit of supplementation. You just need a modest amount of seawater and some sunshine.�

THE ARTS Old hotel now a historic haunt for artists
Joel Krahn/Yukon News
Andrew Connors, artistic director at the Yukon Film Society, stands outside the Jenni House studio, the location for the new artist residency put on by the film society. Joel Krahn News Reporter
W
hitehorse’s historic Jenni House has become a new home for artists. The century-old log cabin, located among several other heritage buildings in Shipyards Park, has been leased by the city to the Yukon Film Society as the location for their new artist residency program. The program, which began in May and wraps up in October, will see a succession of artists dwell in the building for monthlong stints. Andrew Connors, the film society’s artistic director, says he has seen the need for such a space for artists for a while, and is glad the opportunity came up. “It’s obviously filling a need,” said Connors. “I think it will engage with the community in a really positive and enriching way.” Douglas Drake, a video and installation artist originally from New Jersey, stayed in the Jenni House for June. He said it was helpful to stay in a space that wasn’t tucked away in a quiet part of the city. “Being downtown you constantly see the activity of this park and the Millennium Trail that goes through it,” he said. “You see just about
everybody come through here at some point it seems.” During his time in the studio, he used the space to construct a new piece for Whitehorse Nuit Blanche last month, and opened the doors of the studio to the public during the event. Artists in the program are expected to hold an open studio at least once during their stay. It’s that kind of community engagement that Connors is excited about and hopes will continue throughout the program. The location in Shipyards Park is pivotal for that engagement he said, as it links the artist with the public’s recreation space. “It’s the combination of it being a workspace and being in the community that makes it special,” he said. The Jenni House, named after former owner Ed Jenni, is one of the oldest buildings in Whitehorse. Build in 1899 on the far side of the Yukon River, it was moved to Front Street the following year and formed part of the Pioneer Hotel. The cabin still sports the hotel’s original false front. In the 1950s it was bought by Max Krushner and brought to Shipyards Park, an area that was, at the time, home to many squatters. “Bohemia in it’s own way,”

Douglas Drake shows the project he constructed during his time in the studio, a geodesic dome made from reused cardboard. describes Connors. “This area sort of fostered certain freelance, free-spirit, old-style, old-Yukon atmosphere.” Local historian Helene Dobrowolsky described Shipyards Park at that time as “a real community of free spirits.” Residents
would often get together over bonfires and play music, she said. Getting back to the offbeat, artistic nature of the area is one thing that drew the film society to the area, said Connors. When the city tendered submissions,
the film society jumped at the chance. “It’s great that the city recognized that there is this need and that that’s maybe a better use than office space.” Contact Joel Krahn at joel.krahn@yukon-news.com

Nancy Anderson, of Montgomery, Ala., second from right, speaks during the walking tour through downtown Monroeville, Ala., on the release date of Go Set A Watchman in the hometown of To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee on Tuesday. some of the reviews to Lee, who is 89 and mostly deaf and blind. “She is processing all of this with good humour and a little bit of understanding of how over the top it is,� Flynt said.
who attends White Citizens’ Council meetings and defends segregation in Watchman, would have been an accurate depiction of how many prominent Monroeville men felt at the time.
Remembering the past
Early bird
For some, Watchman is a poignant but painful reminder of the segregation and prejudice that existed in Monroeville in the 1950s. Mary Tucker, who is black, said she remembered going into a Monroeville dress shop and being told she could only try the dress on over her clothes, not next to her skin. “We couldn’t sit downstairs at the movies, so of course we didn’t go,� she said. Tucker said an Atticus Finch,
By Tuesday morning, Alice Brantley had already read the first third of Watchman, which was written before “Mockingbird,� even though it takes place two decades later. “It doesn’t read like a first draft,� she said. “But it doesn’t read like a final version either.� She said she made the eighthour drive from Denton, Georgia, for all the weekend’s activities in Monroeville.
Reading for a crowd
Are you a Non-ProďŹ t, Small Business, Medium Business that requires a BOOKKEEPER to look after your day to day ďŹ nancial requirements?
Shortly after sunrise, the doors of the Old Courthouse Museum opened and a bell tolled to mark the start of a marathon reading of “Watchman.� Among those signing up was Candy Smith, 49. She got there early after a nearly two-hour trip from Montgomery and was asked to be the first speaker in a reading expected to last eight hours. “I love To Kill a Mockingbird. I didn’t know if I’d get a chance to read, but I’m excited,� Smith said. The museum is dedicated to telling a story of Lee and childhood friend Truman Capote. The reading is in the old courtroom where Lee’s father practiced law. The Mockingbird movie’s courtroom is an almost identical replica of the one in Monroeville.

release the book? Before the February announcement of the discovery and release of Watchman, Lee, had long said she wouldn’t publish another novel. Concerns linger in Monroeville over whether the publication is something Lee truly wanted. “I don’t think that Nelle, if she were really able to think as she was able to years ago, if she would have approved the book,� said Mary Tucker, a former Old Courthouse Museum board member who said she used to visit with Lee at the assisted-living facility. Flynt, the historian, dismissed concerns that the author might have been manipulated into releasing the book. He said Watchman provides a more complex and difficult look at race in a small southern town. “Mockingbird is black and white. The morality is a child’s morality. Go Set a Watchman is an adult’s morality,� Flynt said.
Still a hero? The new novel traces Scout Finch’s return home to Maycomb in the 1950s. She finds that her father, Atticus, has changed. News of his development came out in reviews ahead of the Watchman release. “I’m nervous. I’m reserving opinion, but I’m ready to be mad. He’s the epitome of the moral compass,� said Cher Caldwell, a

Greg Norris, Monroe County probate judge, front, watches as the new historic downtown marker is dedicated on the release date of Go Set A Watchman in in Monroeville, Ala. on Tuesday. 43-year-old English teacher from Kentucky. Judy May said she’s tried to stay away from spoilers but is concerned about a different Atticus. “Atticus has been a hero-type person through our lives here in Monroe County and the whole world actually. It would be pretty disappointing,� May said. “But at the same time, you have to kind of remind yourself he was human at the time he was raised.�
The first copies Before the book’s midnight release, more than 200 people
waited in humid summer weather for sales to begin at Ol’ Curiosities & Book Shoppe. An Atticus Finch impersonator, with glasses and a briefcase, entertained the crowd, a few of whom dressed as characters from the book. Judy May and her sister Julia Stroud drove back to their hometown of Monroeville and snatched up the store’s first two copies of Watchman. “I’m so excited, I’m shaking,� May, 51, said as she walked outside with her hardback treasure. The shop ordered more than 10,000 copies – in a town with fewer than 6,300 people.

Emotional Caitlyn Jenner accepts Arthur Ashe Courage Award at ESPYs Beth Harris Associated Press
LOS ANGELES aitlyn Jenner accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs on Wednesday night while urging acceptance for others who are transgender. She received a standing ovation from some of the sporting world’s biggest stars after her 10-minute speech during the annual awards honouring the year’s top athletes and moments. “This transition has been harder on me than anything I can imagine,� said Jenner, who revealed she was in the process of becoming a woman in a televised interview with Diane Sawyer in April on ABC. Noting her powerful celebrity platform, the 1976 Olympic decathlon champion vowed “to do whatever I can to reshape the landscape of how transgender people are viewed and treated.� Abby Wambach of the U.S. soccer team that won the Women’s World Cup presented

members of her famous family, including stepdaughters Kim and Khloe Kardashian. Tears welled in the eyes of Jenner’s younger daughter, Kylie, whose sister, Kendall, wiped a tear from her eye.
“I never wanted to hurt anyone else, most of all my family and my kids,� said Jenner, who admitted that until earlier this year she had never met another transgender person. She told the audience about

trans teenagers who are bullied, beaten up, murdered or kill themselves. She mentioned two people by name whose deaths particularly touched her. “Trans people deserve something vital, they deserve your respect,� she said. “From that respect comes a more compassionate community.� Jenner urged the crowd that included football, basketball, baseball and hockey players to remember what they say and do is “absorbed and observed by millions of people, especially young people.� “My plea for you tonight is one join me in making this one of your issues as well,� she said. A video traced Jenner’s life from the time when she was known as Bruce Jenner to her current transition. She was shown applying makeup, buttoning her blouse in her closet and fastening the strap on her heeled shoes. With her hands clasped in front of her, Jenner joked with the audience about her struggle to select the cream gown she wore. “OK, girls, I get it,� she said, as the audience laughed. “You to get the shoes, the hair, the makeup, it was exhausting. And the fashion police, please be kind on me. I’m new at this.� Jenner didn’t walk the red carpet outside the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, and she didn’t appear backstage to talk with reporters, as most of the previous Ashe award recipients have done. ESPN said Jenner wanted her onstage comments to stand.

Instead, the thrust is to remember and honour the dying person in an environment that is generally more focused on seeing the person as a patient. The ICU environment, Cook says, is “technologically oriented and somewhat cold and far removed from home, which is where most people say they would like to die.� “So in that setting we were trying to develop a program that would help to humanize the dying process and make the

In the study, only a small portion of the wishes came from the patients themselves because they were simply too sick. “We haven’t had requests for glamorous or unrealistic wishes.

Is the climate crisis creating a global consciousness shift? by David Suzuki
SCIENCE
MATTERS
W
hen an assassin killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914, no one called it the start of the First World War. That happened years later, after the implications, consequences and scale of the response could be assessed. It’s often the way. That’s why historians are important; they put events in context. Similarly, I doubt anyone knew how our world would change after Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built their first computer in Jobs’ parents’ garage in 1975. In 1988, when climate scientist James Hansen testified in Washington that human-caused global warming was kicking in, people might have been excused for failing to grasp the significance of his early warning. But there’s no excuse for humanity’s subsequent dismissal and denial of the reality of his statements and the deliberate, aggressive opposition to any action to reduce the threat.
For years, environmentalists have called for an urgent response to runaway climate change. Evidence has poured in from around the world to corroborate Hansen’s conclusions, from melting glaciers, sea level rise and ocean acidification to increasing extreme weather events and changes in animal and plant behaviour and ranges. Despite the evidence, few governments have taken the necessary steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Instead of listening to scientists and citizens, many leaders have chosen to heed the fossil fuel industry’s massive PR machine and right-wing ideologues who see the call for global action as a socialist threat to capitalism. There has been progress, at national and subnational levels, and among forward-thinking corporations and organizations. Some, like the commitment by countries including Denmark and Germany to reduce dependence on fossil
fuels after the 1973 Arab oil embargo, were in response to markets rather than the climate crisis, but it positioned them well as evidence for climate change mounted. More recently, people on the frontlines of climate change such as Pacific Islanders and Inuit have warned of the changes they’re experiencing. The insurance industry and a number of corporations have called for action, with some, like Tesla, designing solutions. But many in the media and government continue to downplay the problem. I’ve been astounded by the lack of response over the years, but I’ll go out on a limb and suggest a shift is now taking place. Although we may not recognize its significance without the benefit of hindsight, we appear to be in the early stages of something huge. Even some news outlets are shifting. The U.K.’s Guardian decided earlier this year to increase its coverage of climate change, going so far
as to encourage divestment from the fossil fuel industry. The New York Times decided to use the more accurate term “denier” rather than “skeptic” to refer to those who reject the overwhelming evidence for human-caused climate change. People power is another sign of the growing shift: 400,000 at the largest climate march in history in New York in September, with 2,646 simultaneous marches in 162 countries; an unprecedented gathering of 25,000 in Quebec City in advance of a premiers’ climate change summit in April; and more than 10,000 in Toronto (including me) on July 5 for the March for Jobs, Justice and the Climate in advance of the Climate Summit of the Americas. When Pope Francis reached beyond the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics to call for action on climate change, his message was endorsed by other religious leaders and organizations, including the Dalai Lama, the Islamic Society of North America,
an influential group of Jewish rabbis and the Church of England. Beyond visible evidence of the increasing willingness to meet the challenge of global warming, one of the biggest signs of a shift has been the almost unnoticed but spectacular increase in renewable energy investment in countries like the U.S., Brazil and China. It’s easy for governments and industry to prioritize corporate profits and short-term gain over the best interests of complacent citizens. But when enough people demand action, take to the streets, write to business, political and religious leaders and talk to friends and family, change starts happening. We never know how big it will be until it’s occurred — but this time, it looks like it could be monumental! Let’s hope so.

Biologist champions Yukon’s colourful, cunning survivalists by Erling Friis-Baastad
YOUR YUKON
W
hen wildlife biologist Maria Leung was pregnant with her first child, she decided to spend the early years of motherhood studying creatures that were more readily accessible than her usual subjects. With her baby tucked in a backpack, Leung returned to forests, fields and marshes to follow the fortunes of butterflies. Eighteen years and two children later, she has become a local go-to person for those of us who have come to marvel at and wonder about Yukon’s butterflies. The world she has opened up for her children, and the rest of her fellow Yukoners, sometimes sounds as if it’s composed of science fiction scenarios plucked from distant exoplanets. Currently, Leung is continuing a project she started at Tarfu Lake off the Atlin Road four years ago. Every 10 days, from the second half of May until mid-July, she heads to Tarfu and counts butterflies along set transects. Over the past four years, she has watched numbers fluctuate, depending on species. She correlates those numbers with other factors, such as climate and habitat health. “The butterflies were out much earlier this year,” she says. If this trend continues how much impact will it have on species’ health? Could butterflies appear before the plants they feed on? Most of us have heard that butterflies overwinter in the Yukon. They infuse their tissues with a sort of anti-freeze, then go to sleep… and, depending on species, they may doze the winter away under the snow as fully-grown winged insects, or in the other three stages of butterfly life – as an egg, chrysalis or caterpillar. “But what happens now that we have those bizarre thaw events in winter?” Leung asks. The insulating snow cover melts in a thaw and then the cold returns with a vengeance. Leung has been planting “temperature buttons” (about the size of watch batteries) on small posts on the ground to record the temperatures, the highs and lows, the sleeping butterflies have been coping with … or not. And there are other issues, says Leung. “Like two years ago we had this crazy, crazy late spring … at the beginning of April there was actually less snow than at the end of April.” Habitat change is a big concern. While butterflies can usually feed on a variety of plants, their caterpillars are very specific. “For example,” she says, “Milbert’s Tortoiseshell: the caterpillars can only
Maria Leung/Yukon News
Rocky Mountain Parnassian spends Yukon’s winters in the egg stage beneath the snow. grow if they have access to stinging nettle. Nothing else. If you destroy habitat and that plant disappears there’s no way for that particular butterfly to continue.” Leung pauses a moment, as if on retreat from that gloomy scenario, then her eyes light back up. “It still astounds me that a stinging nettle plant can transform into a butterfly. That’s amazing!” Not just the creature, but the whole complex transformation process is beautiful. “In the Yukon we have a really rich diversity when you get above tree line and in the tundra,” she says. But ecosystem changes that can follow climate change are a major issue in the North. For instance, “they’re saying the tundra is going to get more willow,” says Leung. “I wonder if that will displace some species. A lot of alpine species need sedges and grasses.” There are some species that will do well in that willow habitat, like the ubiquitous Mourning Cloak, but for true tundra species, what will happen with climate change? Species rarely face one challenge to their wellbeing at a time. Temperatures can shift and food plants disappear even as landscapes are modified and developed. New predators can follow the warming trend north and stalk the butterfly tundra. And there are some other, seemingly more-gruesome, threats. “Last year I took about 40 Mourning Cloaks into captivity, raised them as caterpillars,” says Leung. Two of them did not become Mourning Cloak adults. “One of them pupated like the rest of them, but it just hung there for five
days and instead of breaking open the way that a butterfly comes out, a little cap came off of it and out came a big black parasitic wasp.” Recently Leung’s daughter collected a caterpillar “and when it opened a bunch of maggots came out.” Fortunately for butterflies, many taste terrible. The bright colours we enjoy are not dinner invitations for birds and other creatures but warnings. And butterflies have evolved phenomenal camouflage. Some non-toxic species even share colour patterns with toxic species. Many butterflies display the markings of bark or fallen leaves against which they appear to vanish. Some display wing spots that look like the wide-open eyes of larger creatures – making wouldbe predators think twice when considering supper. In its early caterpillar stage a swallowtail larva looks just like a smear of bird poop on a leaf … not too dignified, perhaps, but what the heck? The ruse looks effective and is certainly better than becoming someone’s lunch. Perhaps the most impressive self-defence mechanism of any butterfly is displayed by Milbert’s Tortoiseshell caterpillars. “They are very gregarious,” says Leung. They clump together. If they hear a threatening noise they all twitch synchronously – as if they were one, larger creature. Despite their parasites and predators and the sorrows of habitat loss, a life spent among butterflies presents many pleasurable experiences and memories, says Leung. The research favours
basic watchfulness and ever-morecomplex, invasive technology. “There’s nothing that can replace the experience of interacting with your study species,” she says. Asked about amateur butterfly collectors, Leung says there have been issues because some Yukon species are very uncommon elsewhere and can fetch as much as $100 overseas. But she doesn’t believe citizen-scientist Yukoners participate in that trade. And nonresidents require permits to collect in the territory. Some areas, such as Tombstone Park, are off-limits to all collectors. Fortunately, butterflies are very photogenic. (Leung’s own photos prove that.) “There is a shift in the way people document things be-
cause of digital cameras,” she says. Enthusiasts can upload their photographs to sites like e-butterfly.org, where experts will help with identification. Cameras allow folks to get intimate without becoming destructive. That seems only fair, especially considering that butterflies, armed with flexible “straw” rather than stingers or jaws, can’t bite. “Yes, people ask me sometimes, ‘Do they bite?’” says Leung.

Friendly next-door neighbour must be told he’s just a friend by Judith Martin
MISS
MANNERS DEAR MISS MANNERS: When I moved into my home, I moved in with my then-partner of two years. Now, three years later, my partner has left me, and I am a young woman living alone. I am not bothered by that, but I have not yet had time to grieve my five-year relationship, and things are still turbulent with my ex. How do I politely tell my nextdoor neighbor that I am not interested in his offers of a date or companionship now or in the future? He is very nice to me and, before, was very nice to my ex. I really don’t want to burn the bridge of friendship, but so far, my excuses of being very busy or not sure of my plans have not discouraged him. What can I do or say to get my interests across? GENTLE READER: Or lack thereof. “I’m so sorry, but I’m afraid that I’m just not interested in changing the nature of our very nice friendship.” Miss Manners notes that wisely,

GENTLE READER: There is a big difference between a “kid-friendly” DEAR MISS MANNERS: Every party and a party for kids.

We don’t live in the same state (yet we speak daily). I sent her a food basket that came with a card, yet she still thinks I should have sent her a separate get-well card. What are you thoughts on this? GENTLE READER: That your sister is not well, and this is no time to get into a squabble over an unreasonable but minor demand. Miss Manners advises pelting her with affectionate cards. DEAR MISS MANNERS: My fiancee and I have decided it makes more financial sense to elope on a nice beach somewhere than to spend money we don’t have (nor do our parents) on a big wedding. However, I come from a closeknit Southern town, and I know some friends and neighbors will be horribly offended that they were not invited. I know a couple who have held grudges for years over this sort of thing! What is the kindest way to explain to them that I care about them very much, but don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on a fancy wedding?
GENTLE READER: Let’s first make sure that they care very much about you. Is it that an emotional attachment makes them long to be with you at this important milestone in your life – and not that weddings are the way they enjoy luxurious entertainment at little expense? That bit about grudges is a bad sign. However, if the affection is mutual, and finances are your only problem, Miss Manners can help. Eloping is a way of escaping the participation of others. But you express regret not being able to afford including them. All you have to do is to detach the concept of “wedding” from “lavish,” “expensive” and “fancy.” An informal wedding can be charming – even a relief from the overblown, pretentious extravaganzas so common today. You can send first-person, handwritten notes to those people you care about, inviting them to your beach wedding. If it is not scheduled at a usual mealtime, you can serve them punch, or beer, or lemonade, and a homemade cake. Your true well-wishers will have the pleasure of witnessing and celebrating your marriage. Anyone who is disappointed not to be treated to champagne, a four-course dinner and an evening of dancing (not to mention the auxiliary events that so often turn a wedding into a weekend of activities) may decline. And any grudges on that account need not bother you, because they will not be held by friends.

Yukon orienteerers challenged at junior worlds Tom Patrick News Reporter
T
hree Yukon orienteerers recently raced their biggest competition of the year. Big in both significance and size. Yukon’s Pia Blake, Trevor Bray and Caelan McLean competed for Team Canada at the Junior World Orienteering Championships (JWOC) last week in Rauland, Norway. The fields were big and stacked with top talent. “As Norway is home to so many orienteerers who came along to cheer, the atmosphere at the races – especially in the arenas – was one I was not used to, but it definitely made us run faster!” said Blake in an email to the News. “This JWOC was very memorable because of the unique terrain and the size/quality of the competition,” added Bray. “It was my first JWOC so I cannot compare it to any others, but it was a very good experience for me,” said McLean. “The maps were good, the terrain was excellent and the event was very well
organized.” Blake posted the strongest results of the three Yukoners, who are currently at a training camp in Stromstad, Sweden. Blake cracked the top 100, placing 93rd out of 139 racers in the sprint race on July 5. “All sprints in Europe are very different from sprints in Canada because the towns are not built on a grid but rather in a seemingly random pattern, making for very interesting route choices,” said Blake. “The biggest thing with sprints is to not get trapped by any of the traps set up by the organizers, aided for the first time this year by artificial fencing!” Blake also finished 39th in the B final of the middle distance on July 7 and was the top Canadian in the race. She took 108th in the long on July 9 and helped Canada’s female relay team place 21st out of 26 teams last Friday. “The best result I have ever had in a final at JWOC was 89th Submitted photo/Yukon News last year in the long, but my best Yukon’s Caelan McLean races at the Junior World Orienteering result ever was 26th in the middle Championships last week in Rauland, Norway. McLean was one of qualifier this year,” said Blake, who was in her third JWOC last three Yukoners on Team Canada at the championships.
week. “This was the race I was focusing on, and it was definitely very technical as well as physical, with wet, deep moss in most places. The trick was to take it slow and to not make any major mistakes, and I managed to have an almost perfect race.” Bray, 20, who was in his fourth and final JWOC, placed 121st out of 154 in the sprint, 23rd in the C final of the middle and 130th in the long. “This JWOC was probably the most memorable of all of my JWOCs due to the location and the team,” said Bray. McLean took 139th in the sprint, 28th in the C final of the middle and 142nd in the long. Bray and McLean did not take part in the relay races last Friday. “The long was my best race but the middle qualifier was probably the most memorable because it was pouring rain and cold so by the end I could hardly hold my map because my hands were so cold,” said McLean. “I found JWOC to be an enjoyable experience overall and the location of the event was beautiful.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

New U16 Mustangs team in the works Tom Patrick News Reporter
T
he Yukon Amateur Hockey Association is taking steps to prevent the exodus of top young hockey players the territory sees each season. This past season a total of 12 midget-age players left Yukon to play on Tier 1 and 2 teams down south instead of playing for the Whitehorse Mustangs, a Tier 3 rep team. As a result, YAHA had no midget rep program, forcing the association to forfeit hosting duties of the B.C. Tier 3 midget hockey championships that were to take place in Whitehorse in March. To battle the flight of top talent, YAHA is creating a U16 Mustangs team for elite 15-year-olds. “Last year we had 12 midgetage guys play down south and the result of that is we had no midget program last year here in Whitehorse,” said YAHA president Russ Smoler. “It got us thinking: what can we do to keep our guys here? And part of it was to have high-end hockey here because these kids are going off to play high-end hockey.” “The midget age is 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds and the 15-year-olds, unless they are super, are not going to get a lot of playing time.

Whitehorse shooter cleans house at Alaska championships Tom Patrick News Reporter
J
ust last year the Alaska State Handgun Championship switched from a steel-shooting competition to a practical shooting one. And a Yukoner has already won it. Whitehorse’s John Simmons shot his way to first place at the USPSA Sectional State Championship over the weekend just outside of Fairbanks. “I’m kind of surprised actually, I didn’t think I’d take first place,” said Simmons. “The next top shooter shot 92 per cent to me – that’s a significant gap.” Not only did Simmons take first place in the open division, he registered the top score overall out of all shooters, across all divisions at the pistol championship. Simmons, who was the only Canadian at the event, won two of the competition’s eight stages and placed second in three others. The master-level shooter even scored higher than a grandmaster – the captain of the Glock team – who was in the production division. “There was beautiful sunny weather all weekend in Fairbanks. There were great stages, well planned, well set up. Everything went smoothly,” said Simmons.
Mike Thomas/Yukon News
Whitehorse’s John Simmons placed first overall at the USPSA Alaska State Championship over the weekend near Fairbanks. “I felt very, I wouldn’t say confident, just very calm. Even if I felt I didn’t do as well as I thought I should on a stage, I didn’t think about it or let it bother me. If someone beat me, I didn’t worry about it, didn’t think about it at all.” Though Simmons placed
first in the open division in 2011 when it was a steel shooting event, the move to make it a U.S. Practical Shooting Association competition suits him just fine. The USPSA is the American version of the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC), in which speed and ac-
curacy are messured as competitors move through an obstacle course, and Simmons is one of the top-ranked IPSC shooters in the country. He placed fifth out of 66 shooters in the open division at last year’s IPSC Canadian nationals. “(USPSA) has a little bit differ-
ent rules, not that different but different,” said Simmons. “Their targets are a little bit of a different style, but in general the idea is still the same.” In fact, Simmons is going to have a bit of a leg up at next month’s IPSC nationals. After he won his third IPSC qualifier event earlier this season, Simmons was accepted to B.C.’s Gold Team for the national championships this August in Toronto. He’ll therefore be shooting with the best in B.C. and will be able to map out strategy with them for each stage. The six-time Yukon steelshooting champion also took fourth at the B.C. championships last season before heading to his first world championship in October. At the IPSC World Shoot Simmons placed 162nd out of 367 shooters in the open division and sixth out 25 of Canadians. As the winner of his division over the weekend, Simmons won a pistol made by Glock, one of the event’s sponsors. “I actually won another gun in a draw at the banquet, but I gave it back. I had them redraw it for just four people who did a huge amount of volunteer work to make this match happen. I put the gun back in the hat for those guys … and I drew it for one of them. “The Alaskans were pretty impressed that I would do that.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

T
nalists rather than spectators, and having far-flung venues has meant more communities benefit after the conclusion of the Games. “The legacy will be more in Toronto, it’s more for the city and less for the journalists,” he said. With Brazil set to host the Summer Olympics next year, Morel has been making comparisons between the Games in Toronto and preparations for Rio 2016, and said Canadian fans have shown themselves to be a patriotic bunch. “Here if a guy wins a bronze medal, the guy is an idol. It’s a great thing because you are proud of the country and the athletes,” said Morel. “It’s not like this in Brazil. And the fans are so polite. I’m very worried about our behaviour, Brazilians behaviour, in 2016, because we’re not like this. We’re not so polite.” Victor Michelena, an Argentinian journalist, also noticed
how passionate Canuck fans were about their home teams, particularly at a recent rugby competition where fans began stomping their feet as they cheered, making entire stands vibrate. “I’ve never seen it before, in Argentina, the fans don’t do that, they clap their hands,” he said with a laugh, adding that he thought the sporting venues themselves were “magnificent.” The many volunteers at the Games, marked by bright orange shirts, have also made an impression on many visiting journalists. “When you have a problem, they will help you, if they can’t help you, they will always find someone who can,” said Michelena. “The volunteers have been great.” Enthusiasm from residents of Toronto outside Pan Am venues, however, has been less obvious – and the apathy hasn’t gone unnoticed. “I see a lot of pride in other
international events that I’ve gone to. I don’t know that I see that in Toronto,” said Jerry Lai, a photo editor with USA Today. “When I go by Nathan Phillips Square (outside City Hall) you see a lot of that fanfare, but outside of that little bubble, and outside this little area, I don’t see too much hype about the Games.” Apathetic locals were noticed by the New York Times before the event began, with the newspaper running an article calling Toronto “indifferent” to the Games. Lai, who has covered the last four Olympics, acknowledged that the Pan Am Games aren’t as big as the Summer Games, nor do they draw as many star athletes, but noted he heard a lot of locals griping about traffic snarls before the Games began. “That’s the price you pay for the honour of an event like this coming to your city,” he said. “That happens in every city that an international event comes to.”

Kakuro

By The Mepham Group
Sudoku Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test! Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every digit 1 to 9. For strategies on how to solve Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.
FRIDAY CROSSWORD PUZZLE
To solve Kakuro, you must enter a number between 1 and 9 in the empty squares. The clues are the numbers in the white circles that give the sum of the solution numbers: above the line are across clues and below the line are down clues and below the line are down clues. Thus, a clue of 3 will produce a solution of 2 and 1 and a 5 will produce 4 and 1, or 2 and 3, but of course, which squares they go in will depend on the solution of a clue in the other direction. No difit can be repeated in a solution, so a 4 can only produce 1 and 3, never 2 and 2. © 2013 The Mepham Group. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency. All rights reserved.

M
y dear sweet baby boy; it has been ďŹ ve years since you left us, yet in many ways it feels like yesterday. The ďŹ nality of your death is still diďŹƒcult for me to comprehend and accept. Sometimes I am comforted by visits from you in my dreams where we laugh and we play like you never went away. I can feel your kisses and your hugs and I hear your jolly little laugh as the wind plays with your hair. Five years and I still think of you every day, whether I am reminded of you as I hear a song you loved or I open a kitchen drawer to ďŹ nd pots and pans that you used to love to play with or I feel a gentle breeze. I see you sometimes in your sister when she sleeps and I hear her laugh with your laugh and she has the same sparkle in her eyes; how I wish you two had met each other‌and perhaps you have‌ perhaps it was you who sent her my way. That day still lingers in my mind‌I have so many regrets, such as watching you nap and wanting to take a picture but thinking “I’ll get one laterâ€?, or choosing to keep you inside on a sunny day so that I could get the house clean, or feeling annoyed for not being able to get a little extra sleep that morning. If I could; I would have done things so much dierently. The lessons I’ve learned are: a clean house is not the most important thing in the world, getting out and enjoying the sunshine with the ones you love is important; I learned to take a picture of the ones I love as often as I feel the urge to– even if it means stopping what I am doing to do just that, I know the moment may never present itself again. I get up early and enjoy as much of the day with the family whenever I have the opportunity to, especially when I don’t have to rush to go anywhere. I also learned that the pay-cheques from work and all of the overtime hours did not compensate me nearly enough for the precious time I lost with you; I would have given up everything in my life if I could have just spent one more minute with you in my arms. Work is a means to an end and I have learned that family must come ďŹ rst and that time spent with them must be a priority, I know I will never get that time back again.

hirley Ann Andrews was born on August 14, 1948 to parents Ellen and James Smallwood in Kamloops, B.C. Shirley moved to the Yukon in 1980, and worked at many restaurants around Whitehorse. She was a hard worker, as she sometimes worked at three different restaurants in a single day. Shirley was a very generous person, she often gave her last dollar to someone who needed it. Shirley will be missed by her family and friends; her son’s Bob (Jody) and Joe, her grandchildren Robert, Karen, and Alexa, sister’s, Ginger, Roxanne, Mary, and Darlene, and many nieces and nephews. Shirley is predeceased by her parents Ellen and James Smallwood, and her sister Francis Linterman.
The most powerful lessons I have learned however are that love never dies and that the events of one–day can change everything. Five years and my heart still aches for you my little booboosky‌ your spirit remains strong within us and you will forever be in our hearts. I will never forget the lessons you have left me with. I love you with all of my heart my sweet little angel‌I will see you again someday and we will laugh and play and dance together just like we used to. Until then‌I will hold on dearly to the times we visit with each other in my dreams. We all love and miss you little man. Note: If you or a loved one have lost a child no matter what age and you would like the support of others who know what you are going through, or you would like to help others who are dealing with the loss of their child please contact Kim Tucker of Compassionate Friends Yukon Chapter (you can ďŹ nd it on Facebook) and reach out for help or inquire about how to volunteer to help others.
