“When we are faced with something like this, we feel helpless to help. I mean, we pray, we want to do anything we can to take away any sort of pain or worry.”

The goal has since been bumped to $15,000.

The fundraising page shows photos of Simon biking and skiing.

Klaassen St-Pierre describes him as someone who loves the outdoors and loves the Yukon.

“That’s another reason why people are responding so well: everyone loves Simon. He’s kind and generous and funny and all we want to do is see him back out there on his bike or on his skis or back up in the Yukon.”

enne said. Simon was paralyzed on one side of his body.

“He’s just starting to move that side again,” Etienne said.

The doctors estimate he’ll be in the hospital for at least another month or two.

The money raised online will help his mother Sylvie and his father Christian stay by his side.

Etienne was genuinely surprised when he was told how much money had been raised. “(I feel) really good that there’s a lot of support in Whitehorse and it’s good to see that in times like this that are really tough, that everyone’s there to support. It makes me feel good that I live in Whitehorse.”

Family friend Christine Klaassen St-Pierre helped put together the online campaign.

A

23-year-old Austrian backpacker, whose disappearance near Whitehorse last week prompted a desperate plea for help from his mother on social media, is back home today.

Stefan Josef Petrakovits was supposed to board a flight on Aug. 7 after a two-week holiday in the territory, but he never made it to the Whitehorse airport that day.

When his mother, Elisabeth, hadn’t heard from him two days later, she turned to Facebook in an attempt to spread the word amongst Yukoners and find him.

“We are very concerned that he may have had an accident and needs help,” she wrote in a lengthy post on Aug. 9, which has been shared over 8,300 times.

According to her, Petrakovits was traveling alone and backpacking upstream along the

Yukon River.

But it turns out her son “lost track of time and/or underestimated the distances in the wilderness” and missed his flight to Vancouver, said his cousin Veronika Haberler, who wrote to the News yesterday.

“He was planning the trip by himself – which was obviously not the best thing to do. All that counts now is that he wasn’t injured and that he is on his flight back home.”

Petrakovits arrived in Whitehorse on July 26 and had planned on going camping, fishing and hiking until Aug. 7, Elisabeth wrote in her Facebook post.

The last contact Petrakovits had with his parents was on July 27, when he called his father from a cellphone.

Whitehorse RCMP spokesperson Julia Fox said Petrakovits walked into the detachment on Monday morning to notify them he was safe. It remains unclear how Petrakovits found out about the search

for him.

Haberler said she wanted to share her “appreciation and gratitude” to everyone who helped in the search for her cousin.

“My whole family, especially my auntie and uncle (Stefan’s parents) and his brother and sister are over the moon to have him back soon safe and sound,” she wrote.

Haberler said she was especially thankful to the RCMP in Whitehorse and Dawson City, the Austrian Embassy in Ottawa and the people at Dawson City River Hostel and The Caribou RV Park.

The search for Petrakovits came just a week after a 30-year-old Ontario hiker went missing in Kluane National Park.

The body of Yoichi Kubota, from Cambridge, Ont., was found on July 30 along the Canada Creek area.

Vehicles vandalized at Whitehorse airport Twenty vehicles were vandalized between August 9 and 10 in the Whitehorse airport parking lot, Whitehorse RCMP reported.

Somebody smashed the vehicles’ windows and riffled through them.

Whitehorse RCMP couldn’t confirm whether anything had been stolen from the cars or whether any cars were stolen during that smashing spree.

On August 7 Whitehorse RCMP received a report of a 1999 Toyota Tercel being stolen from the airport parking lot.

While they later recovered the license plate, the car remains unaccounted for.

They recommend to not leave any valuables inside cars, including spare keys.

“Essentially they’ve been footing the bill for the prevision of reports, oftentimes for First Nations people who are not necessarily citizens of their respective First Nations,” he said.

If a limit is placed on when a Gladue report can be ordered, like if an offender is facing a sentence of three months or more, Yukon data suggests three or four trained writers could provide all the reports for the Yukon for a year, the latest study says.

The decision makes it “less likely” that the mine will be sold, according to Kibben Jackson, a lawyer for the company.

Yukon Zinc must present a plan of arrangement to its creditors by August 14. That plan will likely offer dividends to the company’s unsecured creditors, worth a fraction of the debt owed to each, said David Gruber, a lawyer for one of the creditors, in a previous interview with the News.

Jackson said the creditors will likely vote on the plan in September. If they approve it, the plan will be implemented in October, and the mine will not be sold.

A new report from the monitor provides an updated list of the debt owed to each of Yukon Zinc’s 310 creditors. The company owes a total of $654 million.

The vast majority of that – $602 million – is owed to its Chinese

parent company, Jinduicheng Canada Resource Corporation.

Another $20 million is owed to Shaanxi Zinc Industry Co., which the report describes as a “cousin” to Yukon Zinc.

All but nine of the creditors are unsecured, meaning they are not guaranteed any of the money owed to them.

Yukon Zinc was granted creditor protection in March, after the Wolverine Mine shut down in January due to low mineral prices.

Australian mining company MinQuest went public last month with a bid to buy the mine, if it does end up being sold. No details of the offer have been disclosed.

letters date from June 18. They were sent out as a result of the most recent cabinet shuffle, which happened back in midJanuary.

“As we have gone through a large part of the mandate, we’re in a situation where we have actually delivered on many of the actions and priorities that we had committed to during the last election,” said Pasloski. “So this is an opportunity to provide a re-look and a refocus.

“The letters and the refocus didn’t necessarily have to coincide with the latest cabinet shuffle,” he added.

Certainly, a number of the items listed in the letters have been achieved. Those include developing a policy on hydraulic fracturing in the territory, drafting a local food strategy, and working to streamline the process for mine licensing.

But NDP Opposition Leader Liz Hanson disagreed that this is a time for the government to pat itself on the back for everything it’s achieved. She said the Yukon Party has done little to make the territory’s economy more sustainable.

“We are in a serious economic slump in this territory,” she said. “It’s still stuck in a

single-sector emphasis.”

One item on the list that hasn’t yet been achieved is a policy for independent power production in the Yukon, which the NDP believes would encourage renewable energy development. The government committed to developing a policy in 2009. Its most recent draft policy was released in 2014, but it included natural gas as an eligible form of independent power production, which was heavily criticized.

Hanson also questioned the mandate letters’ emphasis on building partnerships with First Nations. She said this government has driven First Nations to court rather than work with them, citing the upcoming Peel watershed appeal.

“It’s beyond ironic that they would tout partnerships with First Nations,” she said. “How do you have a partnership with anybody if you don’t start from a basis of respect?”

Liberal Leader Sandy Silver also criticized the premier for suggesting he’s achieved many of his commitments.

“I would remind him that there’s an awful lot of work to do on our economy,” he said.

“It has shrunk three years in a row under this government.

We have the worst performing economy... in Canada. If he thinks that the job is near completion, then I think a lot of Yukoners would completely disagree with that statement.”

Silver also expressed concern that the government made no commitment to building a new francophone school in the mandate letters.

“We heard things like ‘done deal’ and now this project isn’t even mentioned,” he said.

However, Silver did praise a commitment listed in one of the letters to “report progress on major capital projects including budget and timeline performance.”

“Given the number of projects that have been late or over-budget under this government, I’m anxious to see what this new reporting would look like,” he said. “For example, the new F.H. Collins (school) is millions of dollars over-budget. It’d be nice to have had that type of reporting for that project and others.”

Pasloski must call a territorial election by October 2016 at the latest. He declined to say whether he is considering calling an election before then.

Derelict buildings too expensive to demolish: developer Myles Dolphin News Reporter

A

local developer says the City of Whitehorse would have fewer vacant buildings on its hands in the downtown core if it were cheaper to demolish them.

Kirn Dhillon’s family owns the building that formerly housed the Dairy Queen on the corner of Second Avenue and Elliott Street, among others.

He said one of the reasons why older buildings are still standing is because it’s too expensive to tear them down.

“We’ve taken down a few places in the past, like some houses in 1985 when we built an apartment building,” he said.

“Since then, tipping fees have gone up. The other issue is that the city requires greater sorting of its waste than before, that’s also an additional cost.

“If those fees were discounted or waived – it wouldn’t fix your problem of having underdeveloped buildings, but it would get rid of some unsightly buildings.”

Earlier this year, the City of Whitehorse hired consultants to complete an assessment on the potential for new development incentives for downtown properties.

Through their research, the consultants determined that approximately 88 lots – or eight per cent of downtown properties – were considered “underdeveloped,” meaning they have an assessment value of under $10,000.

Later this month, members of council will examine the possibility of waiving development cost charges for developers who

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Whitehorse’s former Dairy Queen sits vacant on the corner of Second Avenue and Elliott Street. Kirn Dhillon, whose family owns the lot, says the city’s tipping fees make it too expensive to tear down the building. build living suites in Whitehorse.

As for tipping fees at the landfill, they increased on Feb. 1 this year, from $87 to $94 a tonne.

Kirn said if those fees were lowered, he could probably afford to tear the former Dairy Queen building down.

As it stands, the building has leakage problems that prevents it from being rented or sold, Dhillon said.

“The building itself is of little value,” he said, “to the point where it would require major work to get it inhabitable again.”

“Right now the site’s not being totally utilized. It’s providing parking spots for businesses in the area, but if we could demolish the building, we’d have more spots and I know that’s an issue for the city.”

He said it was never his family’s intention to simply purchase the building and let it sit empty.

In July 2011, suggestions were

made to members of city council about potentially waiving tipping fees at the dump, or lowering permit fees, in order to spur development in the city.

But ultimately, city officials decided to go with tax incentives to avoid any loss in revenue, such as the one it recently offered to the developer of a four-storey building on Alexander Street – up to $500,000 over 10 years.

Mike Gau, director of development services, said it’s not easy for the city to simply waive fees at whim. That’s because the city’s landfill operates on a costrecovery basis.

“If we allow a large building to go in there, we have to cover the cost through increases to everybody else that uses the dump,” he said.

“We’d show a deficit so the rates next year would have to go up because a private devel-

oper got a pass. That’s not fair to people who have to pay themselves.”

Dhillon said he’d like to see more partnerships between the private sector and the city to address the fate of downtown vacant lots.

The Yukon government, he said, does this on a regular basis when they need space for a new building.

“They’ll put out a request for proposal and the private sector will respond with a potential lot they can build on,” he said.

“I just wonder to myself why the city doesn’t want to utilize a similar approach when there are all these vacant lots downtown and they have a need for office space.

“They’d be supporting local businesses and developing downtown.”

Dhillon gave the example of the city’s plan to build itself two new headquarters – a city services building erected where the fire hall now stands on Second Avenue, along with a new operations building to be located near Range Road and Two Mile Hill.

Gau said that by building on land that it already owns, the city is saving taxpayers a lot of money.

And when it builds on Yukon government land, the lease is usually just one dollar, he said.

If the city were to build on private land, it would have to pay the owner in addition to the cost of building, he added.

“And it’s not in the best interest of the public to do that.”

Increased campaign spending limits put Liberals, NDP at disadvantage Maura Forrest News Reporter

F

ederal campaign spending limits in the Yukon are more than double what they were during the last election. That could create a large gap between what Yukon Conservative MP Ryan Leef and the other candidates can afford to spend on this campaign.

Elections Canada has announced that candidates in the Yukon can spend up to $209,000 in the run-up to the federal election on Oct. 19.

That’s up from a limit of just under $86,000 during the 2011 campaign.

The limit has been increased due to the unusual length of this year’s campaign, which will last 78 days instead of the typical 37.

Darren Parsons, Leef’s campaign manager, said his riding association has already raised close to $209,000, and he expects “the Ryan Leef campaign will have its full allotment.”

“We are in a very strong position for where we want to be financially,” he said.

Parsons said all of that money comes from fundraising and donations in the Yukon, not from federal transfers.

“We don’t require that outside assistance,” he said. “We punch well above our weight.”

But the Conservatives may well be the only party to come anywhere close to that limit.

Liberal candidate Larry Bagnell said he expects to spend between $80,000 and $90,000 on this campaign. NDP candi-

NDP candidate Melissa Atkinson speaks at a press conference on Monday morning.

Yukon candidates will be able to spend up to $209,000 during this year’s election campaign. date Melissa Atkinson said her campaign has about $50,000 right now, but is actively fundraising. Gerald Haase, campaign manager for Green Party candidate Frank de Jong, said they will likely spend $25,000 to $30,000, but added that they’ve had great support from local donors.

Unless those numbers change dramatically, the Liberals, NDP, and Greens will be at a serious financial disadvantage during this campaign.

In contrast, during the 2011 election, the Liberals and Conservatives both spent about

$80,000, while the NDP spent just under $43,000. The Green Party spent about $28,000.

Dan Bader, Atkinson’s deputy campaign manager, said the Harper government created a fixed election date to keep a level playing field between parties. But with this longer campaign, he said, “they’ve gamed the rules again.”

“They’ve... put the game back in their favour,” he said.

“We’re going to do our best to match them dollar for dollar and count on Yukoners for their support.” Atkinson said her focus is on getting to know

After this spill was found the Yukon government issued two orders, one requiring the company to written repair and remediation plan by August 14, and the other requiring to submit a final remediation report by September 18.

“The Environment Act is based on a polluter-payer principle so the company is responsible for the costs of remediation,” explained Thomson.

If the company were to fail to remediate the site, the government would step in and later recover the ensuing costs from the company, he added.

“I see that as a bigger issue than how much money I can spend to have flashy signs,” she said.

Bagnell also said he isn’t too

concerned about his party’s thinner wallet.

“For us, this campaign is not about money,” he said. “It’s more about ideas and experience.”

Bagnell said he’s already been out to most of the communities, and his smaller budget won’t affect his ability to travel and meet people.

But in areas like campaign advertising, the Conservatives will almost certainly have the upper hand. Parsons said advertising – including lawn signs and radio and newspaper ads – is the “largest single budget item” in Leef’s campaign.

“All of these tools are meant to get our message directly to Yukoners,” he said.

Still, Parsons said the Conservatives don’t have an unfair advantage over the other parties.

“There’s nothing we do that the others could not do,” he said. “We work year in and year out to ensure that we have the resources available to us. If the others aren’t finding the same kind of support, then they’ll have to answer as to why that is.”

F

irst Nations engagement and partnership has quickly become the defining factor in the success or failure of any particular project in Yukon.

It is important to understand how, and why, early and respectful engagement with First Nations is so vital to Yukon’s mining industry.

Yukon First Nations were the original discoverers of gold in the Klondike in 1896. Skookum Jim, travelling with George and Kate Carmack and Dawson Charlie, discovered gold on Bonanza Creek (then known as Rabbit Creek).

According to historical accounts, the group agreed to allow George Carmack to appear as the official discoverer, due to fears that mining authorities would be reluctant to recognize a claim staked by a First Nations individual.

Subsequent to the Klondike Gold Rush, in 1902, Chief Jim Boss of the Ta’an Kwach’an Council wrote the Canadian government requesting compensation for lost lands and hunting grounds as a result of the gold rush. As there is no response on record, it is widely believed that his request went unheeded.

In 1973, the issue of treaty negotiations, or the lack thereof, was raised through the publication of “Together Today, for our Children Tomorrow� authored by Chief Elijah Smith who then led a delegation to Parliament Hill.

This historic moment eventually led to protracted negotiations over the course of decades, finally reaching a climax with the development of the Umbrella Final Agreement in 1988, which was signed in 1990.

Yukon First Nations regained right and title over specific land selections as part of the Umbrella Final Agreement (UFA).

This recognition of existing rights and powers included the ownership of both the surface and subsurface rights on Category A settlement lands. Last year, the Yukon Chamber of Mines, on behalf of its membership, extended a recognition of the same notification provisions in place on Category A lands for Category B lands as well. This means that industry will now voluntarily notify affected First Nations prior to undertaking any activities on settlement lands of any kind.

The UFA also ushered in a new era of responsibility for both proponents and First Nation governments. The introduction of socio-economic agreements between proponents and First Nations provides a clear understanding of what First Nation expectations of proponents are. Basic tenants of these agreements

include the recognition of First Nation inherent rights and interests which include: land tenure, social licence for the proponent to operate, protection of the environment, First Nation business opportunities, employment opportunities, social issues, training and education, and legacy projects.

Recent examples of modern agreements include those between Alexco Resources and the Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nation, Victoria Gold and Na-Cho Nyak Dun, Golden Predator and Tr’ondek Hwech’in, Kaminak Gold and Tr’ondek Hwech’in, Wellgreen Platinum and Kluane First Nation, and Capstone’s Minto mine’s agreement with Selkirk First Nation, of whom the latter also receives royalty payments in its entirety from Yukon government as the mine is located on Category A settlement land.

To put things into perspective, Yukon First Nations are the territory’s largest mineral rights holders. The UFA includes permanent mineral rights to nearly 24,000 square km of Category A settlement lands (equivalent to 124,000 mining claims).

In today’s world, in order to be successful, a proponent must engage early and respectfully with the Yukon First Nations upon whose traditional territory the proposed activity is to occur.

The Yukon Chamber of Mines is seeking to educate proponents on best practices through its publication, Yukon First Nations Engagement and Consultation Guidebook for Proponents, produced in partnership with Yukon First Nations and released in 2012, with an updated version forthcoming in the next year.

Today, First Nation development corporations, which are the economic development arm of First Nation com-

munities, are not only involved in the economic opportunities that mining provides, but are also playing a greater role in project developments throughout the territory.

The future bodes well for Yukon First Nations and communities, as First Nations not only own the resources located on settlement land, and service supply companies providing goods and services, but are also looking into investing in and owning mining companies. Yukon First Nation CEOs and presidents of mining companies are right around the corner.

There are excellent examples of such progressive and successful partnerships between First Nation communities and mining, such as the Red Dog mine located in Alaska. Inupiat involvement in this project is creating lasting jobs for Inupiat Development Corporation shareholders, providing opportunities for Inupiat youth, and acting as a catalyst for regional economic benefits without infringing upon the Inupiat culture and way of life.

This economic foundation supports jobs, education and a revenue stream for local government that is allowing the region to become more self-reliant. In fact, Inupiat Development Corporation shareholders make up nearly 57 per cent of the mine’s workforce.

It is clear that Yukon First Nations will continue to steward the environment, lands and its resources located in their traditional territories, just as they have for millennia, while Yukon First Nation development corporations are now emerging as major players in Yukon’s economy.

Samson Hartland is the executive director of the Yukon Chamber of Mines.

unlimited sums of money just because their parents worked hard during their lives. Sure taxing people’s earnings can have a certain unfairness to it when they are alive, but if the person who earned it is dead, who really cares? – or so the argument goes.

Taxes on death prevent or at least mitigate the establishment of a new aristocracy. They could stem the increased consolidation of wealth in the hands of the very few that has occurred over the last several decades by periodically breaking up the holdings of the exceptionally wealthy.

Canada and the U.S. have taken markedly different approaches to taxation on death.

Its estate tax imposes a maximum tax rate of 40 per cent on estates worth more than $5.43 million. In 2014, the tax brought in $19.3 billion in revenue – less than one per cent of the U.S. government’s overall revenue but still almost enough to fund the operations of the Department of Agriculture for the year.

The estate tax itself has been close to death for many years.

Opponents have successfully branded the tax the “death tax” and have made its repeal politically popular among a significant portion of the electorate –

despite that fact that only about 0.2 per cent of all estates actually have to pay the tax. Politicians get rounds of applause at rallies for promising to repeal a tax that most in the audience will never have the good fortune to pay.

U.S. Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, who is arguably Hillary Clinton’s nearest competitor for the right to run for president as the Democratic Party nominee in 2016, is talking about estate taxes and has proposed introducing a graduated estate tax ranging from between 45 per cent on estates worth over $3.5 million to 65 per cent on the estates of billionaires. He would also close a number of loopholes that have allowed the wealthy to shelter their incomes from taxation.

Canada does not have an estate tax, but some Canadians will have to pay some capital gains tax on death if assets they own have increased in value and they didn’t already pay some tax on it during their lives. Recreational properties and business assets are a common source of capital gains.

Some provinces have also instituted ways to get at some of that money. In B.C., the province charges a fee that is based on the

value of the estate, so the richer you are the more you pay. But that’s still nothing compared to the U.S.’s estate tax, particularly at the high end. Estates in B.C. worth more than $50,000 pay 1.4 per cent of the value of the estate in “probate” fees – which, to grossly simplify matters, offer the court’s stamp of approval to the transfer of property on death. Ontario has a very similar system.

The Yukon is as good a place as any to live if you want to pass on your vast fortune to your children while minimizing the government’s take. Here in the territory, obtaining probate can cost as little as $140.

So far the idea of increasing taxes on death is not on the radar of any of the major political parties in our current federal election, so for the time being the inheritances of the Canadian soon to be wealthy are safe from the prying hands of the tax man.

But there are philosophical and financial merits to the arguments of boosters of an estate tax, so maybe it should be.

federal child benefit was deceptive. Does Carruthers say his pay cheque is worth less because he has to pay rent and groceries?

No, his pay cheque is what it is.

Neither should he say the federal benefit is worth less because of what another jurisdiction does.

Perhaps the News might consider engaging a non-biased accountant or financial planner to provide us with the full story on the federal and territorial government’s family programs, politics aside.

Meantime, how about correcting the false impressions your writers have created by running a banner front page headline – something like, “Family benefit cheques rise to $1,920 annually,” accompanied by a few complimentary words on what I believe is perhaps the greatest family benefit program the government has ever produced.

tenance bylaw; it’s about the Use of Parks and Paved Trails Policy, which sets out a permitting regime that’s supposedly like Kelowna’s, or Australia’s (of all places). It isn’t.

One of its attention-getting provisions requires a permit whenever 10 or more people gather in one of the city parks – any park.

Expanding the scope of permit requirements to that degree wasn’t on the table when the policy was discussed back in January at a council and senior management meeting. It’s an unusually low target. Toronto’s trigger is 25 people, Vancouver’s 50, New York City’s is 20 people, and in Portland, Oregon up to 150 people can gather without a permit. Many municipalities don’t even do head counts.

More concerns are raised with the policy statement, which gives commercial, and private, and exclusive, use of park space (and paved trails) equal weight to the “public” (defined as “ordinary people in general and the community of residents and visitors as a whole”). That’s commercial, and private, and exclusive use of public park space – any park. These are challenging priorities for a public park system to share in equal measure; the position isn’t typical of other municipalities. That’s not to say that other municipalities don’t allow commercial, or private, and exclusive use of parks, ever. It’s not a given that they do, either. But generally park system policies are grounded in the bedrock philoso-

phy of public access with a conviction that’s absent in this policy.

What’s our park system going to look like in a few years, then?

Conceivably, organizations, businesses, schools and political parties may be comfortable with navigating the permit process; casual users of 10 or more, not so much. Once cost recovery becomes a factor, maybe ordinary people will wonder why they’re paying taxes and fees on parks (and parks bureaucracy) that they’re not always – maybe even rarely – able to access.

We’re not short on entrepreneurial thinking, for sure; it’s a sign of the times that I’d feel less trepidation about blaspheming a religion than to openly question any development proposal. But whether the City of Whitehorse meant to or not, they’ve approved a policy that lays the tracks for some wheeling and dealing in the future, with our public parklands at stake.

As for the embargo on people gathering spontaneously in groups of 10 or more, we could have said with confidence, before the Anti-Terrorism Act was passed, that it breaches our charter right to freedom of peaceful assembly.

As it is, though it probably wasn’t the intention, Whitehorse just might be the first municipality in Canada that can claim its parks are C-51-ready.

Kyle Carruthers is a born-andraised Yukoner who lives and practises law in Whitehorse.

LETTERS Don’t believe the math of Liberal-socialist toadies Re: Yukon government mum about lost child tax benefit (The News, July 31) Pierre Chauvin’s article did more to expose his political bias than it did to provide a fair and balanced perspective on the federal government’s Universal Child Care Benefit and the Yukon government’s changes to its child and family programs. Moreover, his inclusion of Kyle Carruthers’ phoney new math on this same topic only exposed him as one of Carruthers’ disciples and a compatriot Liberal-socialist toady.

Carruthers’ numbers were selective. Rather than present a balanced picture, his purpose seems to be to discredit the child benefit program as virtually worthless to recipients, therefore being nothing more than sleight of hand to further a cynical Conservative plan to buy votes.

Who could possibly benefit from presenting this view? The Liberals and the NDP, of course.

When I met a man at McDonald’s who quoted Carruthers’ figure of $14.23/year to me as the true value of the program, I knew I had to respond.

Carruthers based his figures on a $50,000 net taxable income, assuming this to be the average income in Yukon. If it is, I guess I have been shortchanged, for I have never earned a net taxable income anywhere close to

that, and my guess is that is more representative of the majority of Yukoners than Carruthers’ figure.

Minimum wage earners, poverty line families, welfare recipients, and various other family people who earn much less will consequently net more from the child benefit payments than Carruthers calculated for his 50K people.

Many people who pay little or no tax at all got nothing from the child tax credit, yet Carruthers assumed the eliminated credit as “lost income” when it was nothing of the kind. Then he deducted that theoretical “lost income” from the benefit. But for those who could never use the old tax credit, the value of the new benefit remains the full amount of $1,920 (or the full amount of the $720 increase).

Carruthers made the child benefit appear worth less than it actually is by only addressing the increase of $720 rather than the whole benefit of $1,920. He also forgot to emphasize that the benefit is cash, not some deduction from tax, and as such is worth a great deal more (and even more yet if some of it is invested).

Carruthers also inappropriately linked the loss of the territorial child tax credit to the federal child benefit. What the territories and provinces do is outside of Ottawa’s jurisdiction and should not be part of any calculation to determine the value of the federal payments.

Linking the two and deducting the lost territorial credit from the

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Robert’s ready to roll Farmers team up to offer locally-grown and organic products

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Farmer Robert’s co-founder Simone Rudge says the new store will sell mostly organic foods, specializing in Yukon-grown produce.

Pierre Chauvin News Reporter

S

ix months ago it was a Harley Davidson retail hangar. Now it’s housing an egg-grading station, all the nuts, spices and dry goods you could dream of and soon fresh Yukon-grown food.

Meet Farmer Robert’s, the latest effort in strengthening the territory’s local and organic food options.

Two Yukon farmers, Simone Rudge and Robert Ryan, teamed up last fall and acquired the building on Waterfront Place in January.

They hope to be open within the next month.

Rudge grew up on a farm in Alberta. She has been farming in the territory for 15 years, and Ryan for the past five years.

Both know firsthand the challenges that farmers in the territory face. “We talked to a lot of farmers, we’re pretty aware of what the issues are,” she said.

The biggest one: getting their products to consumers.

“Because we’re able to go in a building, we can meet the regulatory requirements for selling dairy, meat, and produce,” said Rudge.

Farmers can easily sell eggs directly to the consumers, but not to retail stores. Any food that ends up on grocery store shelves has to follow the Canadian Food Agency rules. For eggs, it means they have to be graded, which requires expensive equipment.

They’re washed, then go through a light to inspect their content, and are scaled.

“It’s the kind of rules that are set up for big places, so for each individual it doesn’t make sense,” she said.

The store was able to purchase a grading station with the help of the Yukon government, which contributed half of its price.

Charcuterie and preserves will also be sold at the store, from mustard to rhubarb marmalade and fireweed jelly. The store will also offer organic dry foods, spices and nuts in bulk.

Most of it will be organic, Rudge said. And selling it in bulk will reduce the packaging.

“It’s a trade-off that will help us to get prices in a range that people can actually afford,” she said.

People will be able to bring their own jars, as Rudge set up a weigh-

ing station.

Pricing of Yukon-grown food requires balancing consumers’ and farmers’ interests.

“We’ll do our best to keep our prices as low as possible for consumers while making sure that our farmers are paid fairly,” she said.

It’s not that organic and locallygrown products are expensive, she said, but that other products are artificially cheap.

“So much of our food is subsidized, either through tax breaks for huge companies or through slave labour,” she said, referring to other countries.

Yukoners also know that quality products come with a price, she said.

“We have a really strong consumer base who recognize what kind of work goes into producing food and are willing to pay for that work,” she said.

During the winter months, Farmer Robert’s will import some of its food from Outside from “as close as we can,” Rudge said.

The store is an imposing hangar with a warm atmosphere thanks to its wooden furniture. The store still feels empty, with construc-

tion workers still working on final touches, despite rows of bulk dispensers lined up on one end of the store. Windows around the egg-grading station, in front of the store, will allow customers to watch it assiduously process eggs.

There’s also a small coffee-shop like area for customers, except it’s catering to tea drinkers.

And it won’t be the tea bag and lukewarm water kind of deal a lot of places have for tea drinkers, Rudge said.

“We have real tea pots and an artist in town is making us tea cozies,” she said. There will even be tea and natural herbs grown in the territory shoppers will be able to taste.

Farmer Robert’s is also part of a wider effort to strengthen food security in the North.

“The idea is, if there is a place you can bring locally-grown food, hopefully more people will grow it,” said Rudge.

In early August the Yukon government released a draft of its local food strategy, asking for the public’s input. The strategy is twofold: encouraging Yukoners to eat healthy and stimulate local food

production.

The arrival of Farmer Robert’s also means the Potluck Food Co-op, created to fill the lack of organic and locally grown products, will have to decide whether to continue its operations. In July, Potluck Food Co-op board member Roslyn Woodcock told the Yukon News the co-op may partner with Farmer Robert’s, or shutter and launch a new venture, such as offering lowinterest loans to farmers.

While the territory is growing more and more food, Rudge doesn’t see it becoming self-sufficient anytime soon.

“I don’t think we could be selfsufficient in the Yukon without changing what our expectations are for what we eat,” she said.

Short summers make it tough to grow grains on a large-scale, except for rye.

“I do know people who are pretty self sufficient in the Yukon,” she said, but that requires drastically changing your diet.

THE ARTS Whitehorse rap duo conquers eastern Canada (in a minivan)

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Yudii Mercredi, left, and Nick Johnson, collectively known as Vision Quest, recently returned to Whitehorse from a three-week eastern Canada tour. their first tour through eastern Canada.

News Reporter The duo performed with aboriginal artists Winnipeg Boyz ick Johnson and Yudii and Joey Stylez in Montreal, Mercredi are sitting Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, and side-by-side and finishThunder Bay. They also visited ing each other’s sentences.

“There we go, Slick, let’s blow four aboriginal communities, including Kahnawake, Que. and this out of proportion,” raps Elsipogtog, N.B. Mercredi.

N

the punches, constantly. You just go with it.”

As much as anything else, this was a chance for the pair to learn the tricks of a highly competitive trade. For all their attitude during performances, they’re endearingly sincere, a quality that may not serve them well in a genre of music so driven by ego.

They rap about teamwork and hockey, and about what it’s like to live in the Yukon (“You make it rain/Well, we make it snow”).

Mercredi said the other artists on the tour told them they have to use more street lingo, “to open our mind, to kind of expand our lyrics in a way.”

And there’s the business of it, too, “the hustle,” Johnson called it.

“You gotta just get out there and do it,” he said. “You gotta make calls, you gotta set up shows. I learned a lot about setting up shows and anchor points and what you should charge, how much you should take from the door, a level of professionalism that you have to maintain, and to always be prepared for anything, really.”

It’s a lot to think about for two performers who are still figuring out exactly who they

want to be. Johnson, 26, is thoughtful, the more serious of the two. He remembers asking his teacher if he could play mix tapes for his class at lunchtime when he was in Grade 4. He started freestyling at friends’ parties in high school, which is how he met Mercredi.

Mercredi, 23, is louder, more boisterous. He acted as a child, which he says helped him get comfortable in the spotlight.

When he performs with Johnson, he’s the one who does back flips off the stage.

Both of them know they need to be unique if they’re going to survive.

“Everyone can be a rapper, like an independent artist, really,” said Johnson. “So you gotta be different, you gotta be hungry, and you gotta push yourself.”

Their plan is to focus on dance hip-hop, to get people moving. Johnson said he wants to have “one of the best live shows that you’ll see.”

“You could have the best lyrics in the world, but if you’re just standing there, rapping them, with no feeling and whatnot, it kind of takes out of what the artist does,” said Mercredi.

They also spend a lot of time

thinking about how they see themselves as First Nation artists. Johnson is from the Kluane First Nation, and Mercredi is Vuntut Gwitchin.

They say their work is heavily influenced by their culture.

And some of their best memories of the tour come from their performances on reserves, where the whole community would come out to see them.

But they’re both hesitant to label themselves aboriginal performers.

“They always put that in front of you, right?” said Johnson. “When you should be just an artist, first and foremost.

And have respect for your heritage. As a music artist, I don’t really want to be classified as anything. I just want to be an artist that is First Nation.

Not necessarily... a First Nation aboriginal artist.”

Vision Quest hopes to embark on a tour of western Canada this fall. In the meantime, they’re busy writing new music, with plans to put out a full album sometime this year.

For the moment, they have an EP for sale that can be ordered by contacting them through their Facebook page.

your father need only ignore them. However, he might want to do a little background check and make sure that his house is not being listed without his consent.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: During our adventure of driving up Pikes Peak in Colorado, my girlfriend and I stopped to admire the view, and she wandered up the road to take some pictures.

I joined her, and as we returned to our vehicle, there was a steep 1/4-mile drop on one side. The other side was the road, where there wasn’t a great deal of traffic. I considered the dropoff to be the greater hazard, so I walked on that side.

Was that the correct, gallant decision?

GENTLE READER: Indeed.

Just as a gallant gentleman precedes a lady down a staircase, so that if she trips she will have something soft on which to land, a gentleman should walk on the side of the cliff.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am engaged but have been married before. My finance has been married twice.

How do we let people know we would appreciate gift cards instead of gifts at our reception?

We have three of everything.

GENTLE READER: If you have three of everything, why aren’t you thinking of sharing with those who don’t have any, instead of plotting to make others help you get even more?

And by the way, the word is “fiance,” not “finance.” Or maybe in this case, it is.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Is it OK to host an informal dinner while in bare feet? I walk around my home in bare feet all the time, but I wonder if it is proper when guests come over. I do not know if it is perceived as unsanitary, since I am finishing preparing a meal in my kitchen.

I have wondered if the boundaries of what is proper have

changed about showing feet. We now have spas that do a booming business keeping our feet in beautiful condition, as well as body-care products for those who like to do it themselves at home.

It is possible to have beautiful feet and toenails, which are equally attractive. In our ever-changing society, how is current etiquette decided? It seems to this reader that the “no feet showing” rule belongs in the 19th century when all of a woman’s body had to be covered in public.

But if it is still proper that one should never wear sandals except on the beach, it will save me much money in pedicures and fine sandals. However, on 100-degree days I may moan a bit.

GENTLE READER: Actually, you would have loved the 19th century, when the glimpse of a lady’s trim ankle was considered erotically exciting. Somehow, Miss Manners doesn’t think that toenails, however stunning, have quite the same effect today.

Still, you could show them off in open-toed (now called peep-toe) shoes or sandals with soles.

The propriety of total barefootedness depends on what you mean by an informal dinner.

Would it be a picnic on the patio, although this is not the best idea if it is really 100 degrees out?

Would the guests know that they need not change from whatever they lounge around in at home?

If it is anything slightly more structured, Miss Manners would recommend starting with shoes, and then kicking them off, as ladies in tight shoes are wont to do under the table even at the most formal dinners.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My parents are taking my husband and me on an island vacation with them this summer. We haven’t always had the best relationship, although things have

been going well for some time now.

Could you provide some tips on how to vacation with parents and/or in-laws, what to remember and what to avoid, that might help me (and others) to contribute to the creation of a memorable experience for all?

GENTLE READER: It is all too easy to have a memorable experience when vacationing with relatives with whom you have not always gotten along. Miss Manners would have thought your goal was the opposite.

The answer to your question is: relentless good manners.

That would bar any complaints, whether about the conditions of the trip or the history of the relationship, in favor of showing appreciation of this opportunity.

Oh, and don’t talk politics.

That may be counterintuitive in an age that considers rudeness more relaxing and therefore more appropriate to a vacation.

It might also help to preserve some time for separate activities, which will be easier to do if your island destination is closer in size to Greenland than to Grenada.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am the president of a homeowners’ association at times I write memos that require answers, but instead of answering the questions, two of our members’ sister-in-laws instead let me know that I miss spelled a word.

Repeatedly I have apologized for my lack of spelling skills, but still they have to go on about how I cannot spell and I should use a dictionary because roof is not spelled roff, a simple error, they understood the content.

Is it rude to tell someone they made a mistake rather then just answer the question?

GENTLE READER: It is. Otherwise, Miss Manners would have pointed out that “misspelled” is one word, not two, it’s “sisters-inlaw,” and that run-on sentences are exhausting.

SPORTS AND RECREATION Yukon volleyballers kick up sand in Fort McMurray Tom Patrick News Reporter

W

hat began as friendly matches on the beach courts in Whitehorse’s Rotary Peace Park has taken two Yukon volleyball players to a major Canadian event.

This week Whitehorse’s Max Clarke and Benjamin Grundmanis represented the territory at the Western Canada Summer Games in Fort McMurray, Alta., becoming the first Yukoners ever to compete in beach volleyball at a major Games.

“It’s been an awesome time.

There’s so much to learn still.

There are some super strong teams to learn from, and they’re all super nice and friendly and they help you out,” said Grundmanis. “The entire experience has been pretty great.”

Clarke and Grundmanis have played regular indoor volleyball for Yukon at a major Games.

Both played at the 2014 Arctic Winter Games and Clark also competed at the 2013 Canada Summer Games.

Besides being on sand in teams of two, the whole experience is different in beach play, said Clarke.

“It was definitely a different vibe. While you play they will have music playing the entire time, so it’s a lot more laid back.

It’s just a lot of chilling in the sun with the crowd.”

Sarah Lewis/Team Yukon

Yukon’s Benjamin Grundmanis serves in beach volleyball play at the Western Canada Summer Games in Fort McMurray, Alta., on Saturday. Grundmanis and partner Max Clarke were the first Yukoners to compete in the sport at a major Games.

The two Yukoners went winless in five round robin matches in the first three days of competition under a blazing sun.

They finished with their closest match of all, losing 9-21, 21-18,

15-11 to N.W.T. in the fifth/sixth place crossover match, finishing sixth on Tuesday.

“It was close all around even if the 21-9 score didn’t say it.

In that set they basically just

rolled over at a certain point,” said Clarke. “As for the sets that we lost, those were both pretty close. I think they were the better team, but we definitely had the possibility to beat them.”

“We never showed our final form,” said Grundmanis. “It was a bit sloppy-ball the entire time … There were a few points that could have gone either way.

“We were pretty tired, but that didn’t have a huge effect on the game.”

The two didn’t go straight from Rotary Park to Fort McMurray. They played a pair of tournaments in B.C. in preparation for the Games, going 4-4 in Sylvan Lakes and 3-5 in Vancouver.

“It was good to do that before westerns because we had no experience,” said Clarke.

“We just hit it around a little bit in Rotary Park, which is not comparable to actual game experience.”

Clarke and Grundmanis have a lot more spikes and digs to deliver before they are done at westerns. They will trade the sand for hard court and join their Yukon teammates for the indoor full-team volleyball beginning on Thursday.

“I think it’s a solid team, a good starting line-up,” said Grundmanis. “We don’t have the height that we want with the players, but you can’t ask for everything when you live in the Yukon. There are some young players, but we’ll be all right.”

Race walker picks up historic silver at Games Tom Patrick News Reporter

W

hitehorse’s Brody Smith has walked his way into the history books.

The 18-year-old, who is representing Yukon on the track at the Western Canada Summer Games this week, won a silver medal in the 5,000-metre race walk on Monday in Fort McMurray, Alta.

Smith is the first Yukoner ever to win a medal in athletics at a major Games.

“I feel really proud,” said Smith. “I just started race walking this summer, so I’ve been training all summer for it. I don’t really have any background in it, this is my first race in race walk.”

Smith finished with a time of 36 minutes and 36.46 seconds, placing second behind B.C.’s Erik Thies.

He is also the first Yukon athlete to compete in race walking – a long-distance

form of racing in which one foot must always be in contact with the ground – at a major Games.

“Brody is the first person I could talk into trying it and he did fine,” said Yukon athletics head coach Don White.

“We made the offer to a number of athletes and Brody was the only one who took us up on it.

“As far as him winning a medal, it’s the first medal that has been earned by a (Yukon) athlete in track and field at any of the major Games since we started taking kids out.”

Smith also took part in the 800-metre race walk on Sunday, but did not advance to the final.

“It went ok. I went too hard at the start, I was with the group of the really fast people … but I was happy with it,” said Smith.

“It’s really amazing. Fort McMurray has been going really hard, you can tell, put a lot of money into it,” he added. “We’re having a lot of fun, everyone is setting lots of

PBs (personal bests), everyone is really happy.”

Smith’s silver is the second medal for Yukon at this week’s Games that began Friday.

Whitehorse’s Hannah King won a bronze in judo for the female 57-63 kilogram division on Sunday.

By the end of the athletics competition on Tuesday Yukon’s team had posted numerous personal bests and a few Yukon records.

“It’s the first time we’ve had a lot of kids competing at this level in some of the sports – especially with the throws,” said White. “At other events they’ve gone out to, they’ve competed at age class, so the weights they’ve been using have been lower.

Everyone competing here is using an open weight class implements and that’s where all the personal bests and age class records are being set.

“She was holding her own, getting her grip, making some moves for some throws, so she was doing a good job.”

King was joined on Yukon’s judo team by Brandon Butler, Jacob Melanson and Shayne Melanson. The three male competitors went winless in the individual competition in their respective divisions, each placing fifth.

However, they each produced a win in Monday’s team competition. Butler picked up

a win against Alberta, Jacob a win against Saskatchewan and Shayne – who produced a fifthplace finish at nationals in May for the best finish by a Yukoner in over a decade – got a win against Manitoba. Only B.C. shutout the Yukon team.

“They were quite excited,” said Prysnuk. “It was a nice way to finish today, for sure …

“This has been a great experience for everyone and this is the first time for three of them to be in a major Games.

The whole team experience has been really awesome for everybody and they’ve treated

us very well here in Fort McMurray.”

The judo competition wrapped up with the team competition on Monday. As the only female competitor for Yukon, King did not compete in the team event.

“It’s been amazing – this is by far my favourite experience with judo,” added King. “I like that it’s a multi-sport Games, so I don’t only get to see judo, I’ve gotten to see basketball, I’ve gotten to see wrestling, I’ve gotten to see gymnastics.”

Expert riders pull together at harescramble race

Tom Patrick/Yukon News

Scott Heppner rides up a hill with a bit of flare at the Mosquito Harescramble at the Schirmer Family Ranch on Sunday. The event was the second of the season hosted by the Yukon Cross Country Motorcycle Association.

L

ogs, mud, dust, steep hills – you name it.

Expert course riders had their hands full at the Mos-

The Yukon home of

quito Harescramble held at the Schirmer Family Ranch off the South Klondike Highway on Sunday.

For their second event of the season, the Yukon Cross Country Motorcycle Association (YCCMA) offered their hardest course to date for expert AA riders.

The toughness of the course brought out fine sportsmanship between the racers.

“They all helped each other – that was part of the sportsmanship that went on today that was excellent,” said YCCMA president Mike Beaman.

“The three guys who came in third place were helping each

other and actually waited for each other at the finish line and crossed the finish line – all three of them – together.

So I have to make up a couple extra trophies, but that’s OK.” Tim Schirmer, who helped

put the course together, took first ahead of brother Sam. Travis Adams, Neil Ryckman and Tony Watson tied for third.

“It was a struggle,” said Tim. “It was six guys going through

a pretty difficult course, but we helped each other out through the whole thing, which made it nice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were some logs and some challenging uphill, but this was the first time we â&#x20AC;Ś didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride through it. So it was untouched trail, untouched lines, so basically you had to go by eye. There was logs, mud â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everything you could ask for.â&#x20AC;?

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races, which included riders from Alberta and B.C., marked a return to the YCCMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots. It was the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first harescramble race, in which cyclists complete as many laps as they can in a set amount of time, in over a year. The last two events were endurocross events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a series of races with winners determined by points collected in each race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went really well. A little dusty, but I think everybody had fun,â&#x20AC;? said Beaman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to bridge the gap between intermediate B and intermediate A by making a little bit easier A course and having a separate expert course thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very hard, challenging, exhausting, physical challenge. The Schirmer boys, Tim and Sam, were instrumental in making that hard course.

There were six racers in that class, which was more than we expected, and those guys were up for the challenge and did an awesome job.â&#x20AC;?

Tim, who recently turned 17, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only rider outpacing older competitors.

Ten-year-old Cole Beaman rode his KTM 150 to first place in the junior over-15 category. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just progressing over time, working hard, training and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad my dad pushed me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I achieved this goal,â&#x20AC;? said Cole, who won the junior under-15 at the last harescramble.

The course â&#x20AC;&#x153;was like a rollercoaster, up and down.

It was just phenomenal fun. I love it.â&#x20AC;?

The YCCMA will close out the season with the Mosquito Harescramble II on Sept. 20 at the Schirmer Family Ranch.

Macht regains Long Lake Tri title

Tom Patrick/Yukon News

Participants hit the water to start the Long Lake Triathlon on Saturday. Twenty-six people took part in the annual event in the Long Lake area.

Tom Patrick News Reporter

A

couple minutes before the start of the race, with his feet in

the water at the edge of the lake, Whitehorse’s Joel Macht expressed some doubts about regaining the title at the Long Lake Triathlon.

“I haven’t been swimming much. Or running much. Or

biking much,” he said intermittently.

After the race he expanded on that: “A week of running, one mountain bike ride this year and two swims in the last two months,” he said. “I’ve

Green Apple Club members will be entered into the draw for a return flight to Vancouver donated by Air North!

been biking lots – road biking.”

Despite not having as much preparation as he would have liked, Macht was the top solo finisher in the event on Saturday.

He finished the one-kilometre swim, 16-kilometre mountain bike and 5.5-kilometre trail run in one hour, 51 minutes and two seconds. The 37-year-old last competed in – and won – the event in 2012, setting the course solo record of 1:43:54.

The two-time Whitehorse Triathlon champ has certainly been training a lot on his road bike this summer. He won the solo men’s division and placed first overall at the 240-kilometre Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay in June.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from the swim. I had never done it without a wetsuit,” said Macht, who won the Long Lake Triathlon in 2008 as well. “It was totally fine. It usually takes me five to 10 minutes to take the wetsuit off, so I figure not having to

The Yukon home of

take the wet suit off helped me.”

“It’s just such a great event,” he added. “It’s so typically Yukon: laid back, super friendly. It’s not about the competition. Coming first is just a bonus.”

Jordon Lindoff took second for solo men on Saturday with a time of 2:02:03.

As fast as Macht was, he wasn’t the first to the finish line. The aptly named Motley Crew team of Kathleen Hale, Samantha Salter and Jody Eikelboom took first overall.

“We have diverse backgrounds – running, swimming, biking – and we figured we’d come together and triumph over adversity,” said Eikelboom. “I’m friends with both other girls, so I got us together.”

Eikelboom, who ran, placed second in the women’s half at the Yukon River Trail Marathon the previous weekend.

Hale, who swam, placed third in her category last year in an Iron Man. Salter, who biked, placed ninth in her category in the Nimby Fifty crosscountry mountain bike race in Pemberton, B.C. in May. Motley Crew, which was the only female team in the tri, placed first overall with a time of 1:46:36, beating the

women’s team course record of 1:47:49 set last year by Eikelboom, Salter and Kayleen Wilms.

“I love trail running, I do that a lot, and last year Kathleen and I trained together for a triathlon, so we both do some road riding, running and swimming,” said Eikelboom. “Sam is a phenomenal biker, both mountain and road.”

Leslie Carson, Rob Legare and Matt Ordish teamed up to take first in the mixed team event with a time of 1:59:22. Manuel Sidler, Shannon Mallory and Manuel Sidler placed second at 2:24:54.

Whitehorse’s Kelly Proudfoot was in her first Long Lake Triathlon, but she wasn’t out of her element in the water or on the trails.

“I know all the trails from mountain biking,” said Proudfoot. “I just did an Iron Man two weeks ago for my first time, so I’ve been swimming in Long Lake for training … And it was nice to get out and mountain bike because I don’t road bike, but I had to for the Iron Man.” Proudfoot, 39, swam, biked and ran to first place in the solo women’s division with a time of 2:09:03. Gillian Smith (2:46:39) took second and Christina Mavinick (3:17:20) came third.

“This is a fun one. This is a good way to do this,” said Proudfoot. “I will probably never do another (triathlon) other than one like this.

Maybe I should have started with this one.”

Christine Paradis topped the female masters division at 2:56:36, ahead of second place finisher Sue MacKinnon, who notched a time of 3:17:20.

Sandro Holzinger took first for male masters – the largest solo division with five competitors – crossing the finish line at 2:09:24. John Carson posted a time of 2:09:56 for second and Terry Joss 2:23:06 for third.

“It was great. I was surprised – positively surprised,” said Holzinger. “The swimming part went well, biking as well – everything was good.

“I don’t’ road bike and I only run on trails, so it’s very good for me. And it’s nicer to swim in the lake instead of in the pool. It’s perfect and the weather was amazing.”

ALL ARE WELCOME.

Dinner only will be served on the 14th and all meals will be served on the 15th.

Six children of the Crow Clan will also be receiving their traditional names at this potlatch.

Claude Dulac

March 4, 1943 - August 6, 2015 Claude joined our Lord and Saviour in heaven on August 6, 2015, peacefully in his sleep. He leaves behind his loving wife of 45 years, Libby Dulac and their children Marcel (Elodie) Dulac and Claire (Blaine) Richter and their grandchildren Jared, Joshua, Jacob, Eden, Ethny, Elisha Dulac and Mikaelle Richter.

Claude was born in France and met his wife Libby in England in 1969; they married in 1970. They followed their dreams of Canada immigrating in 1973 and discovered that Edmonton wasn’t far enough North... so they drove up the Alaska Highway to Whitehorse. After a year in Mayo where Marcel was born, they moved to the community of their dreams out in Haines Junction. There, Claude worked for the liquor store and after Claire was born he switched careers over to his dream job working in Kluane National Park developing the beautiful trails we have today.

Claude’s passion for God, his green thumb, his love of the outdoors and his grandchildren defined who he was. Claude served the Lord through his lay leadership in the Catholic Church and with his generosity throughout the community.

The Funeral will take place At Our Lady of the Way Catholic Church in Haines Junction at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, August 12th.
