Kotaneelee spill involved heavy lubricating oil The leaked petroleum discovered in a pool outside the Kotaneelee gas plant three weeks ago was mainly heavy lubricating oil, according to lab test results.

Samples of the spilled liquid contained small amounts of oil mixed with larger quantities of water. At least part of that water was produced water, a byproduct of oil and gas recovery.

Additives often contained in lubricating oil can be toxic to plants and animals.

The spill was caused by a leaking valve in a building at the gas plant, according to an email from the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. The leak was stopped on Aug. 8, a day after the spill was discovered.

plained that means the number of people on deck and how quickly they’re able to scan the pool.

The pool is a difficult one to guard, she said. “It’s not a box pool, meaning it’s not just a rectangle, there are all kinds of additional features in there.”

Mayor Dan Curtis pointed out the budget amendment isn’t mandatory. But if professionals are saying standards aren’t being met, and it could potentially threaten the safety of both swimmers and staff, then it shouldn’t be ignored, he added.

Mroz said nearly 600 children have registered for swimming lessons so far, and expects the capacity of 800 to be met shortly.

Council can decide to approve the budget amendment, not approve it, or approve another amount. City administration has recommended that council approve the request for $20,000, funded from the general reserve.

The issue will come back before council at next week’s meeting. The aquatic centre is currently closed until Sept. 7 for annual maintenance.

Energy Yukon, the company that owns the plant, “pumped the surface pool of liquid into drums and a large tank for secure storage” on Aug. 11, the email reads.

They also used absorbent pads to remove as much residue as possible.

So far, about 5,840 litres of liquid have been pumped from the site. But the total volume spilled is hard to estimate, since “the volume that may have drained into the soil is unknown,” according to the department. The spill initially covered about 180 square metres.

A restoration plan for the site is still being finalized, and will include removal of the contaminated soil. EFLO was originally supposed to finish remediation

ing seasons,” the email reads.

The Kotaneelee spill was discovered by an Environment Yukon employee who was visiting the site on Aug. 7.

The government had inspected the surface lease at the gas plant once a year since devolution, according to information provided by Energy, Mines and Resources. That annual inspection had been scheduled for the week of Aug. 11. “There will be more frequent inspections scheduled on an as-needed basis during the clean-up,” according to the email.

Since the facility is dormant, the government doesn’t require EFLO to maintain a set schedule for monitoring the site. The department has received some monitoring reports from EFLO, as requested after the spill, but they are to be kept confidential.

Who will fill these seats in the council chambers at Whitehorse City Hall after the Oct. 15 municipal election? As things stand, councillors Mike Gladish and John Streicker have ruled out running, while three other incumbents are undecided. Mayor Dan Curtis plans to seek another term. felt that territorial politics “needs more help.”

Streicker received just under 3,000 votes in the 2012 election, more than anyone else.

Serving on council was a very rewarding experience, he said, and one that gives you a sense of responsibility and contribution.

But it comes with a fair share of challenges too, he added.

“You’re never not a city councillor,” Streicker said.

“And it gets hard when you have people online who encourage others to hassle our families, that happened once during our

term. We felt it’s completely fair to express those views to us but we didn’t think people should be criticizing our families.”

During his time on council, Streicker said he discovered something that he hadn’t anticipated – that it was all right to lose a debate, or a decision, as long as everybody was being diligent and doing their best.

“I came away from that feeling like democracy was served.”

Some of the tougher times on council included the Mount Sima debates, he said, as well as the Whistle Bend soccer complex dis-

cussions and the decision to fire former city manager Stan Westby in Sept. 2013.

But he said he’s especially proud of the fact that he and his peers made an important decision at the very beginning of their term, one to always engage in respectful debate with each other.

Dan Curtis said he’s throwing his hat in the ring for a second term as mayor of Whitehorse.

“This is the best job ever, and the most rewarding position I’ve ever held in my life,” he said.

After a challenging first year in which he came in “gobsmacked,” he said he feels more equipped to serve another three years, and has more to offer than when he was elected in 2012.

Curtis said he’s most proud of the significant increase in ridership on public transportation over the past few years, as well as the work council has accomplished alongside the Kwanlin Dun First Nation, such as the vulnerable people forum held in April.

He said if he’s not elected in October, he’ll encourage the next mayor and council to keep holding town hall-style meetings every month.

The municipal election will be held on Thursday, Oct. 15.

Ross River Dena Council’s court battle over hunting licenses currently underway Ashley Joannou News Reporter

T

he Ross River Dena Council insists the Yukon government has a duty to consult with it – and possibly get its consent – before issuing hunting licenses and tags in Ross River territory.

The government says the way the First Nation has gone about asking the court to step in has made a “mockery” of the whole system. They want the whole case thrown out.

The two sides faced off in court Tuesday for the first half of a two-day hearing in Yukon Supreme Court.

The First Nation is represented by Stephen Walsh, the same lawyer who represented the council when it won a similar case around mining claims in about 63,000 square

Justin Ferbey to head Yukon Development Corporation The Yukon government has appointed Justin Ferbey as the new president of the Yukon Development Corporation.

Ferbey is currently the CEO of the Carcross Tagish Management Corporation. He played a major

kilometres in the north end of the Kaska traditional territory covering the communities of Ross River and Faro.

This latest case deals with the same piece of land.

The Yukon government has brought in Thomas Issac, an Outside aboriginal law expert from Calgary.

Walsh told the court the First Nation is not seeking to be consulted on each individual license. Instead, they want something more overarching at the beginning of the hunting season.

He said the First Nation was not challenging the way things were done in the past, but wants the declaration from the court on any future decisions.

Walsh said the Crown has a duty to consult when it has knowledge of potential rights and title of a First Nation and is considering an action that

might impact those rights.

Sport hunting potentially has a negative impact on the rights of First Nation residents to subsistence hunting, he said.

The Ross River Dena Council does not have a land claim agreement.

But Walsh argued that the Yukon government has already acknowledged the First Nation’s rights and title in a bilateral agreement that expired in 2005.

Walsh said the strength of the First Nation’s case could mean that the Yukon government needs to get its consent before the beginning of each hunting season.

Issac, meanwhile, said that the First Nation hasn’t presented enough evidence to make its case.

Issac contended this case is much different from the quartz mining case that Ross River

won. There, the court was presented with specific evidence that Yukon’s regulatory regime didn’t give the First Nation due consideration. That’s not the case here, he said.

Here there’s not a shred of evidence in front of the court explaining what’s wrong with the current regime for licenses in the territory. The First Nation could have put together affidavits explaining how the current system negatively impacts its members, but it chose not to do that, he said.

“It’s not up to the court, it’s not up to the Yukon government, to try and figure out why we are here,” he said.

The Yukon government has presented two thick booklets it says is just a sample of how much Ross River has been consulted with over the years.

The government has a good relationship with the First Na-

tion and there is no evidence that’s going to change, he said.

Issac listed a few examples from inside the government’s giant affidavit, dating back decades, where it says Ross River was consulted.

That includes examples like various surveys, the old game guardians program that involved patrolling the land and outfitters quotas.

Issac said he expects to delve deeper into some examples today.

He argued the court should throw out the case. Alternatively, the court could order a full trial and force the First Nation to be clearer about what specific problems they have with the current system, he said.

“A message should be sent not to waste the court’s time,” he said.

role in the development of the Carcross Commons retail village in 2013.

Ferbey has also worked as an advisor in a number of First Nation governments in the Yukon and B.C. “Over the past 10 years I have devoted my efforts to build and strengthen our First Na-

tion self-governments and later with growing our private sector economy,” he wrote in an email to the News. “The opportunity to continue to apply myself in an area I have great passion for – investment towards strategic economic initiatives – while serving the broader Yukon led me to accept this new challenge.”

The Yukon Development Corporation is Yukon Energy’s parent company, and is currently working with Yukon Energy to plan a next generation hydroelectric project that would satisfy the territory’s growing electricity needs.

The corporation has also been tasked with reviewing potential

transmission line connections to other jurisdictions.

Ferbey will take on the new position in October, replacing acting president George Ross. He said he will not be continuing in his current role with the Carcross Tagish Management Corporation.

Peel watershed appeal finishes up Ashley Joannou News Reporter

T

he two-day appeal of the Peel watershed land use planning case wrapped up Friday and is now in the hands of a panel of judges.

The Yukon government filed the appeal late last year after a Yukon Supreme Court judge ruled it had gone too far when it introduced its own plan for the watershed that was dramatically different from the one a commission took years to come up with.

The Yukon government says the case is about elected officials having the final say over the use of public lands.

The First Nations and environmental groups counter that it’s actually about following legal agreements signed with First Nations decades ago.

About 97 per cent of the Peel is public land.

The Peel Watershed Planning Commission was established in 2004. It was made up of members nominated by both the Yukon government and the impacted First Nations.

The process for the commission’s work is laid out in the Umbrella Final Agreement, which, as a modern treaty, involves aboriginal

rights enshrined in Canada’s Constitution.

The commission took seven years to eventually come up with a recommended plan for the 68,000 square kilometres of mostly undisturbed Yukon wilderness. In the end it recommended protection of 80 per cent.

Instead of taking that recommendation, the government released its own plan for the area. It protected only 29 per cent of the watershed from new mineral staking.

“They said we don’t think we’re bound by the results of this. I think that is a kick in the teeth to reconciliation,” said pioneering aboriginal rights lawyer Thomas Berger outside the courtroom.

Berger is representing environmental groups and three First Nations – the Nacho Nyak Dun, Tr’ondek Hwech’in and Vuntut Gwitchin.

The Umbrella Final Agreement allows the Yukon government to accept, reject or modify a recommended plan for public lands. The Yukon government argued the plan they put forward is simply a “modification” of the recommend plan.

But Berger points out the government is required to discuss proposed modifications ahead of time – and put them in writing.

“That’s the big issue,” he said.

“After we’ve gone though the whole process, can the Yukon government say, pat the commission on the head, say well, that’s good work you did over the past five years; pat the First Nations on the head, it’s been good to talk to you; pat Yukoners on the head, glad you came out and did all those submissions at those meetings, but we’re going to do whatever we want to do now?”

In 2011, then-resource minister Patrick Rouble wrote a letter to the commission after a first version of the plan was released asking for more balance with greater options for access.

If the government had given more detail at the time – such as presenting the plan that it would eventually adopt – then those changes could have been discussed, consulted on and later adopted, Berger said.

But as it stands those few sentences are not enough to count as a written response to a 300-page draft report, the First Nations argued. The original trial judge agreed.

When Yukon Supreme Court Justice Ron Veale quashed the government’s plan he ruled they couldn’t go back and reconsider those

two points which had only been vaguely touched on in the earlier stage.

That’s not fair, Yukon government lawyer John Laskin said Friday.

The government believes it did everything by the book. But if its plan remains quashed, it would be unfair to not allow any consideration of balance or access, he said.

Veale’s decision “forces government into a situation where it can’t express its concerns about the final recommended plan and that is not consistent with reconciliation,” he said.

In court Friday, a lawyer for the Gwich’in Tribal Council was given a chance to speak.

The N.W.T-based First Nation also has land in the Peel.

Jeff Langlois argued this decision could have implications outside of the Yukon and urged the court of appeal to uphold Veale’s original ruling.

Land use planning is common in many modern First Nation agreements, Langlois said. First Nations have exchanged their rights and title for promises of dialogue and collaboration.

If the Yukon government had included details of what they wanted to do in the Peel it would have gotten a response to those changes from

the other parties and might have been able to come up with a compromise, Langlois said.

If the Crown’s power remains absolute, First Nations that have signed agreements might have no choice but to enter into the process in a combative fashion, he said.

Or other First Nations might be wary of entering into a new agreement at all.

A Court of Appeal decision may not be the end of the legal wrangling over the Peel.

There is always the possibility of the case heading for the Supreme Court of Canada.

A case having national significance is one of the things the top court considers when deciding if it will hear a case.

But both Berger and Laskin say it’s too early to know if this case will get that far.

“I think it’s really hard to say at this point, so much turns on how the Court of Appeal sees it and so you really can’t predict at this stage,” Laskin said.

“The Supreme Court in any event only hears about 10 per cent of the cases that people ask it to hear, so predicting whether the case will get there is a very difficult thing.”

The appeal judges reserved their decision.

RV rolls near Tagish, injuring couple Jonathan Duncan Special for the News

wo people were taken to hospital with minor injuries after their 35-foot RV rolled on Tagish Road.

At about noon on August 22, Debi and Phil Neill of Arizona were making their way to Teslin when they hit the soft shoulder on Tagish, said Cpl. Geoffrey Peters of the RCMP. The vehicle’s right-side wheels dug into the gravel, flipping the motor home onto its side and sending a fridge, table and chairs careening inside the vehicle.

the vehicle.

Spires and his wife had spent the last 42 days traveling with the

Neills. They were part of a 17-motor home caravan making its way across Alaska and the Yukon.

Mrs. Spires said that Debi was in a lot of pain from her shoulder, while Mr. Neill appeared shaken, but physically OK. The couple looked about 6070 years old, said Peters. There are no charges pending.

“We see about one or two of these every summer,” he said.

“Usually out towards Fraser.”

The caravan had left Skagway earlier in the day. One of the RVs went to the hospital with the Neills, while the rest were soldiering on.

But it puts a damper on the trip, says Mr. Spires.

“They’re nice people.”

Golden Predator rocked by board upheaval THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. Maura Forrest News Reporter

G

olden Predator Mining Corp.’s officers and most of its board of directors have abruptly resigned, following an announcement by the company’s majority shareholder that it plans to vote in a new slate of directors.

Outgoing board members include two former Yukon premiers, Piers McDonald and Dennis Fentie, as well as Jesse Duke, Greg Hayes, Barry Rayment, and chairman William Sheriff.

Chief executive officer Janet Lee-Sheriff has also resigned. She said she was surprised by majority shareholder Till Capital’s intention to nominate a new board, and doesn’t know why the decision was made.

“I moved to the Yukon in 1988.

I lived in the Yukon for 25 years,” she said. “I care deeply for the place and I’ve worked extensively with the Yukon First Nations and support their desire as well as communities’ desire to see local wealth

creation from mineral development.”

Till Capital is a Bermuda-domiciled insurance company that holds nearly 59 per cent of Golden Predator’s shares. The board members it plans to nominate for Golden Predator include four Americans and one Swiss resident: Wayne Kauth, Roger Loeb, William Lupien, John Rickard and Joseph Taussig.

Most appear to have investment and consulting experience, but none lists any mining expertise. All five currently sit on Till’s board of directors.

Lee-Sheriff didn’t comment directly on the proposed directors, but said it’s important for a mining company to have a balanced board.

“You need to see mining experience,” she said. “I think having Yukon knowledge and expertise

INDUSTRIAL LAMICOIDS 207 Main St. 668-3447

is an important piece for having a strong board.”

Till Capital has itself seen major turnover in recent weeks. Four of its six directors have been appointed since June, replacing five directors that have resigned. Three of those new directors are among those who will now nominate themselves to sit on Golden Predator’s board.

However, William Sheriff, who resigned from Golden Predator’s board last week, still holds his position as chairman and CEO of Till Capital.

Shareholders will vote on the board members at Golden Predator’s annual general meeting. That meeting was supposed to be held on Aug. 21, but Till has delayed the meeting until Sept. 4.

C

anada considers me a millennial and my vote is up for grabs.

Like many of my peers, I have often felt elections in this country were battles fought between barely discernible liberal and conservative politicians vying for baby boomer approval.

The recent Maclean’s election debate changed my opinion. My live stream was peppered with fact-checking from Twitter and interesting conversations from Facebook friends. I was mesmerized by the veritable video game of fast paced, difficult questions propelled by the actual Google searches of Canadians. While not exactly great statistical methodology (or graphic design for that matter) Maclean’s of-the-moment polling offered a feeling of connection to the community of Canadians with whom I was sharing the experience.

It was the best TV I’ve watched in months.

According to Statistics Canada 39-45 per cent of millennials (18-34) voted in the 2011 election. In comparison to the national average of 61 per cent, it seems obvious we aren’t engaging with this faction of the Canadian population in a meaningful way.

Campaign events such as the #macdebate might change those figures.

Maclean’s reports 2,200 tweets per minute during the debate. If you think that doesn’t mean anything to a generation grown in a cocktail of social media technology, you’re wrong. This could be the beginning of a new political playing field built to meet the needs of younger participants.

The reality of our daily life now includes a barrage of requests for attention on more platforms than we can possibly comprehend and we are growing accustomed to using technology in most tasks. Northern access to mobile coverage is lame at best, but the Internet prevails.

The United Nations International Telecommunication Union reports the penetration of Canadian Internet usage has increased from 40 per cent in 2000 to 91 per cent in 2013. All the baby pics on your Instagram and status updates from your Grandma reiterate this new social media reality.

stumbled on a seriously democratic communication device.

Thanks to the commitment of local libraries and online information services like Wikipedia, access to information has never been more fair.

This prolific access may have the greatest impact on rural youth who are able to engage on a level playing field with urban peers. No longer isolated from the type of in-groups created by proximity, mobile millennial minds are free to let their voices carry.

Twitter’s trending hashtag the night of the #macdebate was #factcheck. Just nine letters were enough to change the spin of reports about the debate as Canadians gently asserted our desire for transparency and truth.

Newsreels on the passing of Bill C-51, the sale of the Canadian Wheat Board, and the FIPA agreement have been inspiring massive get outthe-vote campaigns aimed at millennials who can now see the error of apathy.

So why are we not talking about the Internet as a tool for civic engagement? Based on user-focused design that eases barriers to entry, and the sheer value of reach, one would assume this was a no-brainer. In a country defined by huge territory, vast regional differences, and latent disconnect between rural and urban zones, the power of online engagement is an inevitable reality.

The Government of Canada (already responsible for national data collection) has no reason to

shy away from the kind of analysis now commonplace in the business sector. Nor should we be operating bureaucracies without constant feedback.

Giant corporations are capable of drastic alterations at lightning speed to create goods based on the seasonal desires of consumers. Why then, can’t our government be equally as engaged in our opinions regarding major policy decisions?

Why can’t policy pivot to suit the desires of the electorate? Why isn’t there an app for that?

Oh ya, because party politics are a noose around the neck of democracy.

The #macdebate was a quiet insight into the potential of technology to revolutionize political engagement in this country. It got us listening, it offered democratic questions based on data from real people, and it gave us insight into Canadian priorities with digital trends like Twitter’s #factcheck.

In my opinion, web-based interactions will mean everything to this election and have the potential to permanently alter the political landscape of Canada. My vote automatically goes to the first party who builds a viable policy polling app.

tion was labelled as squatters. There was little in the way of saleable land downtown. The old story: plenty of jobs, but few places to live; it was an era of true pioneering.

In the late ‘50s and mid ‘60s the White Pass began to sell off its vast land holdings in downtown: Lot 19, a large chunk on the south end of town and a portion of it known as The Wye area (Drury Street) and along the escarpment as well as Baxter Street.

Beside Riverdale more lots also opened up in the new subdivisions of Porter Creek and Crestview. The town changed from a frontier com-

munity clustered below the edge of a Canadian military base, into our modern bustling capital we now enjoy.

So, if you had a cabin or grew up in one of those downtown squatter areas I would love to hear from you. A whole page or a few paragraphs would be great. Photos would be appreciated and could be scanned on the computer.

LETTERS Deadline approaching for former squatters’ stories I would like to advise former squatters that I have almost finished compiling my 50-page book on the squatter days of downtown Whitehorse.

The deadline for ex-squatters to submit your story is Aug. 31. I’m looking for stories about how it was to live in one of the areas known as Whisky Flats, Moccasin Flats, The Shipyards, Sleepy Hollow, The Wye area and along the escarpment.

Political doomsayers usually have it wrong

by Kyle Carruthers

POINTED VIEWS

A

re mainstream political parties all the same in the end? Or are the new guys about to run the country off the cliff? It all depends on your perspective.

In the lead up to the 2000 U.S. presidential election, the rock-rap group Rage Against the Machine – known for its far left politics – produced a clever and emotionally powerful music video for the song “Testify.” The theme of the video was that the two then presidential nominees – Democrat Al Gore and Republican George Bush – were identical.

The video featured a number of clips of the two candidates making identical statements and for effect blended pictures of the two together to create a composite of what George Gore or Al Bush might look like. You can find the video on YouTube if you want to see what I mean.

To those of us who are less inclined to believe that a socialist revolution is inevitable, necessary or desirable the comparison seems asinine. This is especially so with the benefit of hindsight.

Would America have committed the foreign policy blunder of invading Iraq if Al Gore had won that election? What would America’s finances look like without the deep Bush tax cuts that bestowed large benefits upon the wealthiest Americans?

Sure one could easily dig up some quotes of the candidates saying the same things, but I think most of us would agree that there were also substantial political differences between Bush and Gore.

So why did Rage Against the Machine think they were the same?

Picture yourself standing in a field a few feet in front of a long fence. The fence posts are spread several feet apart. From where you are standing the posts that are immediately in front of you look like they are spaced some distance apart. You can clearly see the gaps between them.

But if you look either left or right your perceptions become warped. Towards the other end of the fence the posts appear to be all jammed together, and if you look far enough down it may

even look like there are no gaps between them at all.

Perceptions of political ideology operate in a similar way.

To Rage Against the Machine on the far “left” side of the fence, Bush and Gore were two posts off on the right virtually indistinguishable from one another.

To mainstream Americans they were two posts right in front of them which appeared different and spaced apart.

Meanwhile, with the possibility of the NDP forming a federal government back here in Canada for the first time, the catastrophizing and doom-saying has begun in earnest. The NDP, viewed from certain points along that fence, after all, look a lot like socialists bent on making major changes to the way we run our country.

But if we question our perceptions, dial back the hyperbole a bit and look at a bit of history we would see that change will probably not be as dramatic as some fear.

Political scientists use the concept of political culture to partly understand the fact that change in a political system is generally quite incremental, despite the appearance of stark differences in the underlying values of the various political parties.

Political culture is a set of

relatively stable (even rigid) underlying norms and values that prevail in a particular community. Our Canadian political culture is part of the reason why neither the Christian Heritage Party nor the Marxist-Leninist Party have historically enjoyed much electoral success in Canada. Both espouse values that are too outside the mainstream of Canadian political culture to catch on.

But mainstream parties are constrained by political culture as well. I would hazard a guess that if we could reach deep inside Stephen Harper’s brain there is probably some regret that after 10 years in office he hasn’t created a flat tax, substantially shrank the size of government, dismantled equalization, or invoked the notwithstanding clause. Judging by his statements from before he got serious about elected office, one might have expected that all or some of these would have happened by now. That Stephen Harper would have little time for boutique tax credits and “baby bonuses.”

But Harper knows that going too far outside the Canadian political culture would doom his party to the political wilderness. Yes, progressives may be displeased with the direction that Canada has taken during

Harper’s term in office, but if they are being honest with themselves they should be somewhat relieved that the Canada he has created isn’t nearly as bad as it would have been if the Stephen Harper who ran the National Citizen’s Coalition had free reign with the place.

Those who are getting nervous about the prospects of the NDP forming a federal government for the first time should be cognizant that similar constraints would be placed on them. Despite what some of the rank-and-file New Democrats might say when they go offscript, the reality would probably be fairly moderate. Thomas Mulcair is an intelligent man and likely realizes that if he wants an NDP government to be more than a one-term phenomenon he has to temper the expectations of his more ideological devotees and work within the dominant political culture of the country.

This isn’t to say that there wouldn’t be change that you won’t like. But don’t expect European tax rates, nationalized oil companies, or the reneging on existing free trade agreements any time in the near future.

Whitehorse aims to curb unauthorized trail-building city policy, and can incur a fine of up to $500.

Doug Hnatiuk, manager of parks and community develhe City of Whitehorse is opment at the city, said it’s encouraging budding important for trail builders to trailblazers to approach go through the proper chanthem with their ideas, rather than taking charge themselves. nels before attempting to do it on their own.

That’s because the community recently unveiled its new fuel pumps during an opening ceremony last Wednesday afternoon.

manner.”

In the past, hikers and mountain bikers would often create their own paths without supervision or guidance, an “ad-hoc approach” to trail development, as Hnatiuk calls it.

But the city created new rules for building trails in 2007, after a decade of discussions.

And in 2013 the city created its trails and greenways committee, a group that meets every month to assist with the implementation of the city’s trail plan.

“That further sent a message that the city is intent and serious in terms of working within certain standards, such as the International Mountain Biking Association standards,”

said Hnatiuk.

“In the past eight years, the city has become a lot more proactive when it comes to developing, managing and maintaining trails. That’s because the community is starting to understand that you can’t just pull out chainsaws and start ripping around.

“They want to see a trail network that meets a standard.”

Hnatiuk said the process for creating your own trail is straightforward. You have to fill out a trail development application form and submit it to the city.

The form contains questions such as the reason for trail development, whether there has been consultation with

the neighbourhood association, and the reason why you believe the trail will enhance the overall trail network for the City of Whitehorse.

Then, that information is presented to the trails and greenways committee for discussion, and a recommendation is brought back to city administration.

“It could be completed in a matter of weeks but one took as long as a year, because it contained too many uncertainties,” Hnatiuk said.

He encourages anyone willing to carry out trail building activities to call him at 6688662 to discuss their projects.

Six full-time positions will be created once everything is up and running, he said.

“This will offer great local opportunity to citizens who are looking for full-time jobs, where full-time employment can sometimes be hard to come by in a small community such as Burwash Landing,” he added.

A NorthwesTel spokesperson said the company doesn’t divulge the details of its internal network operations.

“I can confirm that a surge in power caused a disruption to the electrical supply in a NorthwesTel facility,” wrote Adriann Kennedy, manager of external communications, in an e-mail.

Kennedy said the surge resulted in intermittent interruptions that lasted for approximately two hours and 15 minutes, as heavy traffic congested the company’s redundant network.

“At one point we actually had to give up our training space to the community library. This is a significant improvement and much better from an occupational and health perspective.

“Everything is up to code and there is even space for Yukon EMS to put in an ambulance.”

Five volunteers currently serve the fire department, but Robinson said he’d like to see that number double.

Beaver Creek is one of 16 volunteer fire departments in the territory.

The final cost of construction was $3.03 million, according to a spokesperson with Highways and Public Works.

That’s just under last year’s construction estimate of $3.15 million.

The original design for the new building was much bigger, at 453 square metres. It also featured an additional truck bay, a back-up generator and landscaping. But those items were removed from the construction tender after two bids were received at $4.56 million and $5.2 million.

And no one gets hurt.

This wasn’t a scene from the newest superhero flick; it was live and in-person at this year’s YukomiCon held over the weekend at the High Country Inn and Yukon Convention Centre.

Hundreds of fans of all genres came to browse the extensive displays, attend workshops and panels, and brush up against a few big names in the comic world.

Star Trek’s Marina Sirtis, more widely known as counselor Deanna Troi, headlined the list of celebrities, signing autographs for a long lineup of Trekkers. Adrienne Wilkinson, who played Xena’s daughter in Xena: Warrior Princess, was also on hand providing autographs and pictures. Andy Rae, a professional cosplayer – someone who replicates costumes from the comic book world – wowed guests with her intricate outfits.

Serious gamers battled it out

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Members of the Company of the White Wolf demonstrate medieval combat techniques on Friday evening. in the gaming room, holding tournaments for Settlers of Catan, Super Smash Brothers (on the classic N64 system), and Magic: The Gathering, among others.

One of the highlights of the weekend was the cosplay contest, with categories for youth and adults. A large crowd watched as Chris GwynneThompson won the youth event

for his incredibly detailed and home-made Ant-Man costume.

Iron Man, played by Kevin Andrusyk, won the adult division, impressing the judges with his full-body, light-up suit.

The end of summer means the start of hunting

By Joel Krahn

tinct advantage of separating you from many other hunters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You end up in a place where 90 per cent of the people in the world could never get to and would never even want to because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much work,â&#x20AC;? Leigh says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no such thing as an easy sheep hunt.â&#x20AC;?

Carrying 30 kilos of camping and hunting gear up a mountain can be difficult enough, but if you end up getting that full-curl sheep, coming down can be even more treacherous. In addition to an extra 40 kilos of meat to bring down (possibly requiring multiple trips), gravity can become a real adversary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very easy to hurt yourself,â&#x20AC;? says Leigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More people fall coming down than they do going up.â&#x20AC;?

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just rocky mountainsides that make the hunt difficult. The elements are a fierce adversary that make being prepared a necessity. The wind, cold, and rain can pile onto the alreadyexisting discomforts of exhaustion and hunger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There probably are many sheep hunters out there that every year say to themselves at some point in the hunt, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m never doing this again as long as I live,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Leigh says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as soon as you get back to camp and you get rested up and stuff like that, you realize what an absolute joy it is to be where you are.â&#x20AC;?

ukon hunters know the feeling: sitting hundreds of kilometres away from the nearest paved road, binos up, watching and waiting.

Bliss.

With our awe-inducing landscape, a wide variety of large game, and a small human population, many Outside hunters can only dream of going on a wilderness expedition in search of the perfect animal. However, this wild and remote topography can make for some challenging hunting trips, and knowing how to navigate it can make or break the trip.

ROAD Road hunting is a popular choice for those not wanting or not able to get deep into the bush. Hunters of any age or mobility level can take advantage of backcountry lanes and old mining roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just drive along slowly and keep your eyes open,â&#x20AC;? says Larry Leigh, a long-time hunter and a former hunter education coordinator with the Yukon government for 17 years. Depending on the condition of the road you can take most regular vehicles, but old mining roads will probably require a truck with higher clearance, says Leigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A person whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s careful can still get into lots of places without having to use a fourwheeler.â&#x20AC;?

Moose hunting lends itself particularly well to this method, and the best time to aim for is the latter half of September to early October when the moose are in rut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bulls have lost all their wariness because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only interested in mating during that period of time,â&#x20AC;? Leigh says.

Road hunting still requires some stalking skills, however, as Yukon hunting regulations say you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot from the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to stop your vehicle, get outâ&#x20AC;Ś and walk well off the travel portion of the road,â&#x20AC;? Leigh says.

Stopping the vehicle and opening and closing doors could easily be enough to spell the end the hunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The animal quite often isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to stand around while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing all this moving around,â&#x20AC;? he says.

years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moose and caribou near the road are somewhat depleted; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a need to get farther off the road,â&#x20AC;? says veteran hunter and former bear biologist Barney Smith.

Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred method to get further out? â&#x20AC;&#x153;River hunting is really fun,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lovely camps, lots of firewoodâ&#x20AC;Ś and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a long way from roads.â&#x20AC;? The Yukonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former highway system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our abundant spiderweb of rivers and waterways â&#x20AC;&#x201C; offers relatively easy access to country thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit more wild and off the beaten track.

River hunting either by canoe or by boat is great for getting out and having an easy way of traversing what could otherwise be tough terrain. But make sure you know your river, says Smith.

Being able to accurately judge distances can help you get to the right spot at the right time.

Canoes can offer a quiet trip, even if it does require a bit more elbow grease.

When loading up for the voyage, always save some space for the meat youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll (hopefully) be bringing back. Smith recommends using a large canoe, or even tying two together for stability when loaded up after making the kill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be overloaded, especially if there are rapids,â&#x20AC;? he says.

A motorized trip is great if paddling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your forte, and when managed correctly, the sound of the motor doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a guaranteed game repellant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re accustomed to the noise of planes flying over,â&#x20AC;? says Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stay very stationary.â&#x20AC;?

However, as soon as the noise of the motor changes, the animal gets tipped off that danger is approaching, Leigh says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you change the sound of the motor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even slowing down, which makes it better for you to make your shot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; quite often the moose will get scared and just tromp out of the water.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to get as close as you can without changing the sound of the motor.â&#x20AC;?

FOOT Arguably the most strenuous of all the hunts, sheep hunting requires a lot of traipsing through extremely difficult terrain. ATVs, horseback, and air travel can only get you so far, and eventually the hunt will need to be done on foot.

To really get out there, to find places far removed from any trace of humans, a flight may be in order. Some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best bush pilots call the Yukon home, and are extremely skilled in getting avid hunters into the best locations.

While upwards of a thousand dollars may seem like a pretty penny at first, a fly-in hunt can be the trip of a lifetime and success rates are substantially higher, says Smith. Pilots are able to fly into many areas that would be otherwise inaccessible by traditional means.

Landing on a lake at 5,000 feet brings you already to the borders of sheep country.

But just because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve invested a lot doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sure-fire win, says Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some years where you fly to a lake that has been a real producer for you, but you get there and all you hear are wolves.â&#x20AC;?

However, as soon as the noise of the motor changes, the animal gets tipped off that danger is approaching, Leigh says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you change the sound of the motor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even slowing down, which makes it better for you to make your shot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; quite often the moose will get scared and just tromp out of the water.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to get as close as you can without changing the sound of the motor.â&#x20AC;?

FOOT Arguably the most strenuous of all the hunts, sheep hunting requires a lot of traipsing through extremely difficult terrain. ATVs, horseback, and air travel can only get you so far, and eventually the hunt will need to be done on foot.

To really get out there, to find places far removed from any trace of humans, a flight may be in order. Some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best bush pilots call the Yukon home, and are extremely skilled in getting avid hunters into the best locations.

While upwards of a thousand dollars may seem like a pretty penny at first, a fly-in hunt can be the trip of a lifetime and success rates are substantially higher, says Smith. Pilots are able to fly into many areas that would be otherwise inaccessible by traditional means.

Landing on a lake at 5,000 feet brings you already to the borders of sheep country.

But just because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve invested a lot doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sure-fire win, says Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some years where you fly to a lake that has been a real producer for you, but you get there and all you hear are wolves.â&#x20AC;?

Tips on setting up your fly-in hunt camp Flying in doesn’t guarantee you a successful hunt, but it does guarantee you a great wilderness experience

Cathie Archbould/archbould.com

By Cathie Archbould

S

ome people look forward all year long to their one week in the sun; I look forward to my one week fly-in hunt. From the minute the hunt ends, I start to plan next year’s.

This is my tenth year of moose hunting in remote Yukon lakes.

On my first trip, my hunting partner and I went with someone very experienced.

This first experience set the standard, which we have since adopted and adapted. Everyone has their own way of setting up camp but this is what we’ve found works for us. Take it or leave it, I hope it helps.

So if you’ve finally splurged for your first fly-in, here are a few ideas to keep in mind.

Deciding where to go I’ve been asked several times, “How do you know where to go?”

You can look at the maps of an area and see good swamp or burn areas and decide on a lake. Or, you can ask friends. If they haven’t flown in, likely one of their friends has. Start with asking people that hunt annually, and branch out if you’re not successful. I’ve even had a pilot or two suggest I check out a particular lake.

Touchdown Once you’ve unloaded the plane and it lifts off and leaves you in the quiet of the wilder-

ness, you may feel like it’s time to sit back and relax. Actually, there is a ton of work to do before you pull out that camp chair and sit back with a beverage.

Making camp We bring in a wall tent, so there are poles to cut, finding a level location far enough away from the kitchen area, and hopefully tucked in a bit out of prevailing winds. We have had winds so strong that they lifted the tent off the ground all night long.

Firewood Once the tent is up, your gear stowed, and wood stove installed, there is firewood to cut. This is probably one of the best lessons I’ve learned: don’t put off cutting several days of wood. We cut about three days worth of wood for the wood stove and for the campfire. We stack the stove wood in the tent to keep it dry.

Seems overkill to some I bet, but the number of times we’ve gotten up the next day only to get our moose and then arrive back at camp tired, sometimes drenched from rain, still having to hang our meat and make a quick supper, this stack of dry wood is welcomed. Or the year we woke to a few inches of wet snow.

Preparing to hang the meat Nearly the last task for the

day – make a meat pole. We like to choose a spot quite a distance from our camping area but within sight. I’ll cut willows blocking the view of it, if I need to. Ideally, the meat pole location will be just in from the shore, so that the meat will be cooled by the breeze or winds off the lake.

From a safety point of view, the chainsaw work is done while you are still fresh from the fly in, and not when it is dark and you are exhausted.

Cut a pole that is seven or eight feet long, with a diameter of about four inches. Hang it between two trees at a minimum of six feet high and secure it with rope.

Next day prep Finally, though you hear the camp chair calling, pack your gear for the next morning. Get the motor on the boat if you are using one, test it out, throw in your “hunt box”, and pull together your snacks and drinks for the day. That way, when you get up at daybreak, all you have to do is fill your thermos and throw it into the boat after you have your quick breakfast and hit the water in search for your moose.

Flying in doesn’t guarantee you a successful hunt, but it does guarantee you a great wilderness experience. Good luck and sharp shooting.

Taking flight S

oaring high above the canopy of pine and aspen and touching down onto a glassy, uninhabited lake can be an unforgettable experience. Chartering a plane is an effective way to get out into the wild regions of the Yukon that are ripe for hunting. Air access, however, is a substantial investment, and packing properly can save a lot of hassle and regret.

Gerd Mannsperger, the chief pilot and operator of Alpine Aviation, sees many passengers bringing too much gear. “A lot of times people don’t really know what to take, so they just take this that and the other thing,” he says. Bringing quality over quantity is an adage to guide those sorting out what to bring.

Packing in the right containers also makes a big difference. Bulky crates or barrels can waste a lot of space in the plane, so Mannsperger recommends bringing everything in medium-sized dry bags. Not only do they maximize space in the tight cargo hold, but they’ll also keep everything dry should wet weather visit your camp.

If possible, packing all dangerous goods such as bear spray and propane in one bag makes life a lot

Cathie Archbould/archbould.com

easier when loading up the plane. For safety reasons, all these items need to be placed in the floats, and digging through multiple packs on the dock trying to find that one canister of mace is nobody’s idea of fun.

A useful piece of safety gear that comes in handy whether you’re in distress or not is a bright orange tarp.

Great for everyday camp use, they also are essential for flagging down search aircraft if the need arises.

Mannsperger recalls several times where his emergency pickups were hard to spot.

“They’re standing in the green bushes waving their arms, camouflaged from head to toe.” A compact, fluorescent tarp can save pilots (and yourself ) a lot of time searching in case of an emergency. “Somehow you have to be visible,” Mannsperger says.

Fourth-date etiquette breach may lead to apology on fifth breach – for example, his drink on your dress – and that a fifth date is therefore a possibility, Miss Manners prescribes apologies all around.

by Judith Martin

MISS

MANNERS DEAR MISS MANNERS: A guy I just started dating took me out to dinner for my birthday on our fourth date. He raised his glass and made a toast in my honor.

I chimed in during the toast to say something nice about him as well. He said that I should not have interrupted the toast. I suggested that correcting etiquette is also not proper form. Can you help us?

GENTLE READER: There were three breaches of etiquette by Miss Manners’ count. You interrupted your date while he was speaking. He admonished you. And you admonished him.

Assuming that the evening did not end with a fourth, unreported

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I’m a new mother, trying my best to keep up with all the new demands that motherhood brings. And I just finished reading a column in which you said that “Maybe” was never an appropriate response when you RSVP. I admit I have been saying “Maybe” to events lately. I would really like to attend these events if possible, but if I need to stay home

to nurse my son, then I wouldn’t be able to attend. (I don’t include all those details in the RSVP – just mentioning them here so you understand why I haven’t been committing!)

I assume that when my son is older and on a schedule, it will become easier for me to commit definitively. But what should I do in the meantime? Just decline all invitations? Say yes, and then back out at the last minute if I cannot attend?

GENTLE READER: While Miss Manners is sympathetic to the pressing and unpredictable demands of new motherhood, she also cautions against relying on your child as a perpetual excuse (in non-emergency situations, of course).

You will find that it will be an endless resource and will have the unfortunate result of diminishing invitations.

While it is still early, you may want to find a way to reconcile this with a social life now. If finding an alternative food source for your son is not an option, then yes, decline invitations until you and your son can find a mutually satisfying schedule (backing out at the last minute will not be looked upon kindly more than once). Your hosts would likely be much happier knowing that your status is temporary, than thinking of you as simply an unreliable guest.

Or, what about when I am out with a friend and she takes an unnecessary call or text on her phone and leaves me standing there awkwardly? She turns to me afterward and nonchalantly says, “Oh, I’m sorry ... blah, blah, blah.”

The “I am sorry” in these and other situations feels insincere.

It seems to just pop out of their mouths and not mean anything.

What can I reply other than “That’s OK” when it is not!?

GENTLE READER: People also say, “How are you?” as a nicety and rarely listen to the answer. Miss Manners acknowledges that a halfhearted apology is indeed frustrating, but saying “I’m sorry” is better than not.

However, as long as you are not outright rude in your reaction, responding “That’s OK” after an annoyance is not strictly necessary.

“Oh, I’m sure it must have been important” – said without sarcasm – should convey the necessary inconvenience while still giving the offenders the benefit of the doubt.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: We accepted an invitation for a week’s vacation without cost in another couple’s condo with them and one other couple. There wouldn’t have been any additional charges to our friends for us being there. We intended to fly there, while our friends intended to drive, which is why we provided them with six bottles of expensive wine ($300 total) for all of us to enjoy while we were together.

At no time was it ever said or implied that the wine was a gift. We did, however, say that the wine was for all of us to drink while we were there as a “thank you” for the free lodging.

We got “cold feet” due to six adults being housed in a small condo, so we canceled. The hosts said our cancellation didn’t matter; that the wine should still go with them to the condo.

We politely declined. When they returned, they not-too-subtly wanted to keep the wine for themselves.

We declined that “request” as well.

What are Miss Manners’ thoughts?

GENTLE READER: Well, they are not pretty. Not about you nor about your alleged friends in this unseemly tug.

You give yourself away when you speak of a supposed friend’s offer of hospitality as “free lodging.”

Even the hotel industry now uses the more delicate terms “host” and “guest.”

As you have baldly stated, you accepted an invitation, and then canceled because you decided that you didn’t like the pre-stated terms.

You had sent what anyone would interpret as a present, but are now declaring it was payment for services you no longer wanted.

Miss Manners would have preferred the scorned hosts to return your wine and cross you off their social list. But perhaps they were caught with no wine in the house, other guests on the way, and themselves being badly in need of a drink.

ukon mountain biking’s royal court contained some familiar faces on Sunday as past champs took back crowns.

Whitehorse’s David Gonda and Meagan Wilson regained king and queen status with wins at the King of the Canyon – Yukon’s mountain bike championships – hosted by the Contagious Mountain Bike Club at Mount McIntyre.

“It felt like a lot of climbing,” said Wilson. “I was pretty tired, but it was fun. It’s nice to be out biking – especially since the rain held off. It was supposed to pour, but it held off.”

Wilson, who won in 2012 and placed second last year, completed the two 25-kilometre laps in three hours, 24 minutes and 52 seconds for first.

The 31-year-old also won the solo women’s division at the 24 Hours of Light Mountain Bike Festival the last two years.

Moving up from a third place finish last year was Sammy Salter in second at 3:32:00.

Kirsten Hogan, who placed second on the short course last year, came in at four hours even for third.

“It’s nice to have the title

King David Gonda leads some cyclists through a trail. back,” said Wilson, who is originally from Vancouver. “I started mountain biking when I moved up here, so I’ve been biking for five years. I decided trail running was too hard on my knees, so I took up mountain biking.”

Gonda was probably a little more careful with his navigation this year. Last year he was leading the race when he accidently missed a section of the course and was disqualified.

On Sunday he finished the 50-kilometres in 2:37:18 for his fourth title, having last won it in 2013.

Rob McConnell placed second at 2:44:54 and Ian Parker third at 2:49:08.

Whitehorse’s Craig Machtans kept royal status but didn’t come away with the big crown this time around.

Machtans, who was king last year, was the prince on Sunday, taking first on the shorter 25-kilometre course. He came in with a time of 1:25:55.

Two-time prince Evan Wise (1:32:50) came second and Phil Hoffman (1:40:00) third.

Trish Steele, who is new to Whitehorse, grabbed the princess title, coming in at 1:54:38.

Thaidra Sloane completed the 25K course in 2:06:36 for second and Jill Buxton at 2:43:10 for third.

“It was really well organized; they did a great job flagging.

Queen Meagan Wilson regained her title.

And we had a barbeque afterwards, so it’s nice to hang out with lots of other bikers,” said

Yukon orienteerers win 17 national medals in three provinces Tom Patrick News Reporter

T

his year’s Canadian Orienteering Championships involved a fair bit of navigation between races as well as in them.

Each of the three races – the sprint, middle and long – took place in a different province within the 2015 Maritime Orienteering Festival from Aug. 16 to Aug. 23.

“There was slightly more travel time than we’re used to,” said Whitehorse’s Brent Langbakk. “Usually at the Canadian championships the races are all together on successive days, like Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

This time they were spread over two weekends and the week in between, and it was neat.”

Yukoners navigated to medals in all three provinces. The 10 Yukoners won 17, including 11 gold, in their trip from New Brunswick to P.E.I. to Nova Scotia.

Langbakk, who was competing in the over-35 male category, was one of two Yukoners to win three gold at the championships, beginning in the middle distance championship in Hillsborough, New Brunswick on Aug. 16.

“It was held on the site of an old gypsum mine,” said Langbakk. “Now it’s all overgrown with forest on top of it. There were all these man-made depressions and pits. It was really interesting, really different.”

The other triple-gold winner for Yukon was Nesta Leduc in the women’s over-80 division.

The long distance, held at the province’s largest skill resort in Wentworth, N.S. on Saturday, is one that stands out in her mind.

“It was a long course and fairly difficult,” said Leduc. “I felt good that I managed to get through. I made a big error at the first control, but after that I did reasonably well.

Adrian Zissos/Yukon News

Yukon’s Forest Pearson navigates through some rocky terrain at the Maritime Orienteering Festival in Hopewell Rocks, N.B., on Aug. 17.

Yukoners won 17 medals at the Canadian Orienteering Championships at the festival.

“It was on top of a ski hill and us old ladies and old men got a ride up to the top, which was really nice. Even though you think you’re coming downhill, there was a fair bit of climb. You made errors, got down too low, had to go back up – that sort of thing.”

Two other Yukoners collected a medal in each race, including the sprint distance held on the University of Prince Edward

Pia Blake, who recently represented Canada at the junior worlds, won hardware in each race in the women’s 17-20 category. She took gold in the middle, gold in the sprint and placed fourth in the long, taking the bronze since the winner was from an American ineligible for medals.

Yukon’s Sabine Schweiger nabbed gold in the sprint as well as two bronze in the women’s over-45 division.

Whitehorse’s Forest Pearson finished with a red-letter result.

Pearson, who is in his early 40s, competed in the elite males 2134 division. He placed seventh in the middle, missed a punch in the sprint, but won silver in the long.

“I think that was the performance of the championships, from a Yukon perspective,” said Langbakk.

Forest’s son Phineas Pearson also took in a medal in the beginner category for the sprint.

Phineas placed second for gold behind an athlete from the U.K. Other Yukon medalists include Leif Blake with gold and silver in males 17-20 and Barbara Scheck with a silver and bronze in women over-55. Erik Blake placed fifth in the long for males over-45 and Trevor Bray seventh in the sprint for males 17-20.

Polivka nabs sixth Yukon tennis title fought back from down 3-0 in the second set and evened it to 5-5 before Polivka won two more games for the title.

“We both didn’t play well, unfortunately. We can play better,” said Polivka, who advanced to the final with a win over 2013 runnerup Ken Liao.

While Polivka regained his title, Whitehorse’s Vickie Roche did the same three times over.

Roche won the women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles titles at the monthlong championship that wrapped up Friday.

“I certainly had help. I played with my son Kyle Marchuk in the mixed and he’s a very good player,” said Roche. “And I was with Laurie Drummond, who is also a very good player, in the ladies’ doubles.”

Roche won her first singles title since 2009 with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Anne Copland.

Roche and Drummond clinched the doubles title with a 6-1, 7-6 win over Copland and

Nancy Hughes.

Roche and Marchuk, who lost in the mixed final last year, topped runner-ups Drummond and Michel Gelinas for the title this time around.

The mother-son team of Roche and Marchuk wasn’t the only family win at this year’s championship.

Whitehorse brothers Kieran and Ewan Halliday went undefeated in three round robin matches to win the men’s doubles title ahead of runner-ups Gelinas and Shahid Sayed.

“I really enjoyed the format (this year). Usually you only play one weekend and you get pretty sore by the end of the weekend, especially if you’re trying to play two or three matches,” said Roche.

“Usually it’s too much tennis in one weekend. But what we did was spread it out over a month and a half, or whatever it was, and it was far more enjoyable for most.”

Jim Zheng February 9, 1958 August 19, 2015

It is our deep sorrow to announce the passing of Jim (Fang-Ping) Zheng, who was born in China and moved to Yukon in 1991.

Together Jim and Xiu-Mei established the East West Health Centre. Jim was passionate about traditional Chinese medicine and helping individuals heal. He worked primarily at the centre and travelled throughout Yukon and the N.W.T., particularly to smaller First Nation communities. Many of his longtime clients became close friends.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Dr. Alison Madlung, Dr. Alexander Kmet, Dr. Shaira Somani and the Whitehorse General Hospital staff. Their effort to provide quality care was heartwarming.

Jim is survived by his loving wife Xiu-Mei Zhang of 27 years, his two sons David and Alex, two brothers, three sisters, two nephews and one niece.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 30, from 1:30 pm to 3 pm at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre in Whitehorse.

IN LIEU OF FLOWERS, PLEASE DONATE TO THE JIM ZHENG CULTURAL FUND MANAGED BY THE CHINESE CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF YUKON. DONATIONS ARE WELCOME AT THE CEREMONY OR BY E-TRANSFERRING TO: JIMZHENG.CULTURALFUND@GMAIL.COM.
