Falcon Ridge condo owners back in court Ashley Joannou News Reporter
T
he board of a long-embattled condo development in Whitehorse has filed more than $1 million worth of liens on the unfinished property. The Falcon Ridge condo board says neglect of the land in question, after years of being the focus of court battles, has left it unsafe. They say the developer told them he doesn’t have the money to complete any more work. The developer has not filed a statement of defence. A call to his lawyer was not returned in time for today’s paper. The board wants the Supreme Court of Yukon to allow it to step in and fix the problems and then recoup what it’s owed. In January 2013, a Supreme Court judge halted the construction of an apartment building there because the developer, a numbered company owned by Brian Little, didn’t have the authority to put the building there. More than a year later, in April 2014, a plan was approved to clean up the piece of bare land and to build smaller homes that would more closely resemble the nearby condos. But as of today, the shell of the apartment building still stands. The 2014 court order required the developer to fix drainage issues and other concerns related to the slope of the land. According to the lawsuit, Little’s earlier work to start the apartment “created a steep, unsupported embankment underneath Falcon Drive, which is a well-travelled roadway in the City of Whitehorse.” The area has continued to erode while no work was being done and now presents a danger, the lawsuit says. The developer also hasn’t done anything to advance construction on the shell of a building, court documents say. The structure “has deteriorated as a result of neglect and exposure to the elements to a point where it now presents a hazard.” Underground electrical wires

Plastic sheeting blows in the wind on an unfinished condo building off Falcon Drive. and towers also remain on the property, even though there has been no progress on the building those wires were supposed to serve. The lawsuit also mentions a pit that has been dug next to the shell of a building. It was supposed to be for a second building that hasn’t been started. The timeline to get all this work cleaned up has been extended multiple times, the condo board claims. The latest deadline was Oct. 31, 2015. Last week, the board was told by the developer that its “financier has decided not to continue to finance the development and is unable to complete any further work,” including constructing the units permitted by the court, the court documents say.
SPOOKY SAVINGS!
That has left the board in a position where it has to ask the court for help. It has placed a $21,000 lien for unpaid condo fees and a second one for $1 million for the repair work that needs to be done, board president Helen Booth said. The owners in the development have seen the value of their units go down and their ability to enjoy the property has been diminished because the work has not been finished, the lawsuit says. The board says it has to step in to stop any more damage from happening. A case management conference is scheduled for Nov. 10. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

Yukon government and Northwestel to build fibre-optic line to Inuvik Maura Forrest News Reporter
T
he Yukon government has announced plans to build a new fibre-optic link up the Dempster Highway to Inuvik, which would connect with a new fibre line under construction along the Mackenzie Valley. The project would complete a loop between Yellowknife and Whitehorse, and would ensure redundancy for all the communities along the route. That means a break in the single line currently connecting the Yukon to Outside would no longer lead to Internet, cellular and emergency service outages across the territory. The development would extend the existing fibre-optic line north from where it ends at Stewart Crossing, and would provide a back-up connection to Watson Lake, Teslin, Marsh Lake, Whitehorse, Carcross, Carmacks, Pelly Crossing, Stewart Crossing, Dawson City and Eagle Plains. The Yukon government and Northwestel will pay for the project, possibly with contributions from the federal government and the government of the Northwest Territories. On Tuesday morning, Minister of Economic Development Stacey Hassard said Northwestel has estimated the total cost of the Dempster Highway construction at $32 million “in the past couple of weeks.” But he said the government has yet to determine who will pay for what. “We haven’t figured out the financial situation yet or the arrangement,” he explained, adding that the recent federal election and current territorial
election campaign in the Northwest Territories have made discussions more difficult. “We haven’t been able to sit down with all of the parties that we need to sit with and come up with firm numbers.” But later in the day, Cabinet spokesperson Dan Macdonald told the News that Northwestel has committed “up to $10 million” to the project. He did not confirm how much the Yukon government will contribute, and said the exact cost breakdown will depend partly on the results of an engineering report being completed by Northwestel. Macdonald also said the Yukon government will not own the line. Northwestel will cover all ongoing maintenance and operations costs after construction is complete. So far, Northwestel has promised to pay for the portion of the line connecting Stewart Crossing and Dawson City. The company has made the same commitment in the past, but scrapped the plans in 2013 after being instructed by the CRTC to reduce the rates it was charging competitors to use its infrastructure. Northwestel will also make a “significant capital contribution” to the construction of the Dempster Highway extension, according to a news release. In response to the announcement, Liberal Leader Sandy Silver said he’s pleased to see that a decision has been made to improve service to the Yukon. But he said it’s hard to know what to think with so few details available about the financing. “The cake seems to be only half-baked,” he said. “The announcement almost seems like

The Yukon government annouced plans on Tuesday to lay fibreoptic cable along the Dempster highway to Inuvik, adding a second connection to Outside. a smokescreen with no plan in place behind it.” In the legislative assembly on Tuesday, Silver introduced a motion requesting the government to provide details about funding contributions and an explanation of why the government chose the Dempster Highway over a route through Skagway to Juneau, Alaska. He also requested an explanation of why the contract was not awarded through a bidding process. The government has long debated whether a link to Alaska or to the Northwest Territories would be preferable, and has often appeared to favour the Alaska route. In February, a report prepared by Stantec found that the Juneau route could be built in a single year for roughly $26 million, while the Dempster route would take two years and cost about $54 million. But Hassard said a more recent Stantec report found the Juneau route was not viable because no private company would be likely to agree to a public-
private partnership for such a small project. That report is not publicly available. In 2014, a group of First Nations development corporations commissioned a study looking at the cost of a public-private partnership to build the link to Juneau. The report estimated that the government and the company would each have to pay $12.8 million. The First Nations ultimately decided the return on investment wasn’t high enough, and the idea was dropped. But it’s still unclear how Northwestel came up with its estimate of $32 million when previous estimates have calculated the cost of the Dempster route at upwards of $50 million. In response to inquiries, Northwestel spokesperson Adriann Kennedy said only that the projection was based on the company’s “extensive experience in fibre projects in the North.” The Dempster link does have the advantage of providing Internet security to more Yukon communities. But it means that Northwestel will retain its fibre
monopoly in the North. Cameron Zubko, chief operating officer with Ice Wireless, a competing Internet service provider in northern Canada, said the announcement left him “conflicted.” “On one hand, we’re very happy,” he said. “There need to be more infrastructure dollars going into the North. “The mistake the Yukon government made here was to give the contract to Northwestel.” Zubko said he would have liked to see the contract awarded through a competitive bidding process. He said Ice Wireless might have bid on the contract, as it did on the Mackenzie Valley fibre-optic contract in 2014, which was ultimately awarded to Northwestel. Currently, Ice Wireless pays Northwestel to access its network. Owning and operating its own fibre-optic line would reduce its costs and allow it to expand services to communities like Dawson City. At the moment, Whitehorse is the only Yukon community where the company can afford to operate. “We would have launched 3G in Dawson years ago if the price... quoted to us by Northwestel was not so high,” Zubko said. As it stands, he said, Ice Wireless has no plans to expand outside of Whitehorse. The Yukon government estimates that construction of the Dempster Highway line will be complete in 2017. The Mackenzie Valley fibre-optic link between Fort Simpson and Inuvik is scheduled for completion by September 2016. Contact Maura Forrest at maura.forrest@yukon-news.com
Liquor shortages causing headaches for bar owners Myles Dolphin News Reporter
T
he co-owner of a Whitehorse cocktail bar says the Yukon Liquor Corporation needs to improve the way it brings alcohol into the territory. James Maltby and his friend, Tytus Hardy, opened the Woodcutter’s Blanket back in April. But issues around ordering alcohol arose almost immediately, Maltby said. “We rely on ensuring we can get the spirits required to make our cocktails,” he said. “I make orders every week, but more often than not I don’t get something I ordered. The hardest part is I never get notified when I’m not getting something.” Maltby said many of the licensees only find out when they go to pick up their orders. He believes the Yukon Liquor Corporation should improve its “antiquated system” and make it easier for business owners to get the alcohol they need.
Katja Schmidt, who runs the Miner’s Daughter, the Dirty Northern Public House and the Birch and Bear, said she’s run into similar problems. Sometimes up to half the liquor she’s ordered won’t show up, she said. “And that’s hard because you come into the bar and it’s embarrassing because you think it’s my fault, and we’re not running a good business,” she said. But the liquor corporation has made strides in the past five years to work with local businesses, Schmidt said. Staff with the corporation have been receptive to complaints, she added. The Yukon government announced in late January that bars, restaurants and off-sales agents will see about a 10 per cent discount on their purchases from the Yukon Liquor Corporation. In the past, liquor licence holders paid the same price listed at the territorial liquor stores. That’s helped a bit, said
Schmidt, but more could still be done. “You go out to a bar or restaurant and expect to pay the same price as you would in Vancouver, yet they buy their products for so much less,” she said. “By the time a keg lands here it’s double the price it would be in Vancouver. Our margins are so small, we’re making very little money on it (alcohol).” In the near future, Schmidt said, she hopes to sit down with other local restaurateurs and Stacey Hassard, the minister responsible for the liquor corporation, to talk about the issue of shortages. Jorn Meier, director of purchasing and distribution for the Yukon Liquor Corporation, said he understands what licensees are going through. He said the supply chain is so long that issues can arise along the way, but might only be identified by the time the alcohol makes it to Whitehorse. “The Yukon is a special case – it’s in a very vulnerable situation
with the supply chain in general,” he said. As it stands, orders made by the corporation take about three weeks to arrive at the warehouse, he said. When orders are made, it takes a few days for the companies to fill them. Then, the liquor is shipped to a warehouse in Port Coquitlam, B.C., where it’s consolidated, inspected and shipped to Seattle. There, the order goes onto a barge that travels up to Skagway, Alaska before it gets unloaded onto a truck and driven to Whitehorse. Meier said the corporation should be notified when it’s short-shipped, but that doesn’t always happen. “If we find out something isn’t available, for example, we can reorder it,” he said. “Other times we’ll order something and it’s identified as being shipped, but when we open the container it’s not there. That’s a big problem.”
Kokanee 15-packs of beer, for example, weren’t available for about 10 days this past summer, Meier said. That created a problem for certain licensees for whom the beer is a big seller. Recently, the corporation struck a deal with Alberta to provide one or two pallets of harderto-get liquor, as a way of dealing with certain shortages. The corporation has also been trying to find other suppliers in B.C., he added, because transportation costs are much cheaper there. Meier said the alcohol industry is changing all over the world, which is causing headaches for jurisdictions that are trying to keep up with the changes. “I don’t want to point the finger at anyone,” he said. “I’d still like the supply to be coming in much more reliably, but we’re doing the best we can.” Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

Police launch arson investigation
Bandits make off with charity’s cash
RCMP are investigating an early morning arson on Monday in the Arkell subdivision. Police and the fire department were called around 5:40 a.m. to extinguish a fire that had engulfed a parked Bobcat skid-steer loader. There were no injuries and no other property was damaged as a result of the fire. Investigators have determined that the fire was deliberately set, and continue to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 867-6675555.
Whitehorse RCMP are looking for two thieves who made off with about $500 worth of donations meant for Habitat for Humanity Yukon. RCMP Cpl. Natasha Dunmall said volunteers were selling raffle tickets at a table on Friday near the main door of Canadian Tire. At approximately 4 p.m. a man grabbed the cash box off the table and ran out of the store into a waiting vehicle. Police spotted the vehicle turning onto Sumanik Drive, where the driver and passenger fled on foot into the greenbelt.

(Ashley Joannou) Whitehorse hunter fined for flouting court order A Whitehorse man has been fined $3,000 for twice obtaining Yukon hunting licences even though a court had ordered him not to. In Yukon court yesterday, justice of the peace Sharman Morrison-Harvey sentenced Edward Bernier to pay the TIPP (Turn in Poachers and Polluters) reward fund. Bernier pleaded guilty to breaching a court order twice when he got licences in 2014 and 2015. According to Environment Yukon, there’s no evidence he actually used the licences to hunt. Back in May 2013, Bernier was found guilty of meat wastage and another offence related to a moose hunt in the Faro area in September 2012. Territorial Court Judge Michael Cozens fined him $7,500, plus an additional $1,125 court surcharge. He was not supposed to get a licence until May 2017. After these latest charges, he is banned from hunting for seven years and banned from accompanying anyone hunting for the next five.

Kent questioned over development of McGowan lands Myles Dolphin News Reporter
N
DP MLA Kevin Barr grilled the Yukon Party on Monday for failing to consult with Mount Lorne residents on new subdivision plans. During question period, Barr asked Resources Minister Scott Kent why the government was still pushing the project ahead despite the hamlet’s objection to it over the years. “Mount Lorne residents have long been clear they didn’t want to see a big subdivision in the McGowan lands,” Barr said. “Why wouldn’t the government consult with the hamlet council and why would they choose to make this announcement before the new hamlet council has a chance to have their first meeting?” Kent said the hamlet residents have been aware of the government’s intentions to develop the McGowan lands since 2005. He said Yukoners have been calling for more rural residential and agricultural lots “within the Whitehorse periphery.” “We certainly recognize the concerns of area residents when it comes to additional development in their neighbourhood,” Kent said. “Again, we have to balance that with the needs of other Yukoners – Yukoners who are looking for this type of lifestyle for rural residential.” Barr replied that this was a Joel Krahn/Yukon News “new announcement with a new NDP MLA Kevin Barr speaks during question period in May. On Monday, Barr asked why the agenda.” He questioned the government’s Yukon Party did not consult with Mount Lorne residents about new subdivision plans.
timing of the announcement, which was the day of the municipal election. No one can speak on behalf of the hamlet until the local advisory council is sworn in around midNovember. Barr also asked Kent why the government hadn’t gone public with its changes to the Area Development Act in 2013, which gives a minister the power to override a local area plan. He said the changes gave the minister a “trump card” in order to grab the McGowan lands and nullify the community’s local area plan. The Yukon government is currently exploring the possibility of enlisting the private sector to develop the McGowan lands in Mount Lorne. It recently began a 30-day consultation period with the Kwanlin Dun First Nation, the Carcross/ Tagish First Nation and the Ta’an Kwach’an Council. The government has been trying, without much success, to develop the lands since 1995. Previous subdivision concepts presented to Mount Lorne residents have been met with resistance. The hamlet’s local area plan states there cannot be any rural residential subdivision in Mount Lorne. But it does allow room for some development – up to eight lots per year. Kent said there would be opportunity for public input down the road, should the private development plan move ahead. Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

A
t the end of September I had the honour of going to see Pope Francis in Philadelphia and attend the World Meeting of Families, a four-day conference for Catholics from around the world. With the glee of a child, I braced my friends and family on Facebook for what was coming: a barrage of Pope pictures, quotes, selfies with priests and video clips of mass chants – simply a celebration of the life religion brings to me and so many others. I felt I had to brace them because religion has become a taboo word – to many across philosophical and political spectrums. While some subscribe to a faith, many see it is obsolete, cumbersome, or just downright false. Others don’t give it much thought at all but simply write it off as another hobby – as though it were a diet or a fad. They might find it fitting that last month I attended Yukomicon and now I was attending a conference for another equally obscure pastime. I went with what is the natural enthusiasm of a Catholic holding to her faith in the time of “The People’s Pope.� Certainly, the Francis Effect is now well known to people of most countries and creeds. It’s easy to see why. He has reasserted the place of Catholicism and all peaceable religions in our world and preached endlessly of the place for mercy and understanding (“Who am I to judge?). At the papal mass, the almost 1 million present (and countless others watching from home) demonstrated that religion has place in the family, in society and even in the state. Gasp. The Pope chose the theme for the week The Family Fully Alive: Love is our Mission. Well who can argue with that? And before you ask how exciting a conference could be with 17,000 people coming from the same traditional cookie-cutter families? Think again. Nuns attended the conference in abundance. I met single people, young people, priests, the widowed and the elderly. There was a huge contingent from Asia and Africa. Mexicans were proudly present in numbers. What did we all have in common? We are all part of family. We all came into this world via la familia. Pope Francis described the family as the ideal setting for finding our purpose, our ethics, our direction and meaning but did not idealize the reality; “In families, we argue; in families, sometimes the plates fly.� He reflected, as many others did at this conference, that the first to suffer in the retreat of the family are the elderly and the young. The implication is that we often look to the state, school or any other institution

to make up for what has been lost in the family, but ultimately what we must do, as the Holy Father pleaded, is “defend the family, because there, there, our future is at play.� He also had words for any who would seek to marginalize the value of religion and impose an unnecessary uniformity, as
hood or any number of other Catholic teachings that seem anachronistic in our society. In recent days, it has emerged that during the Pope’s U.S. visit he met with both Kim Davis – that’s the Kentucky county clerk who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples – and a homosexual couple (I imagine at separate times).

Electoral reform should be put to a referendum by Kyle Carruthers
POINTED VIEWS
T
here has been a lot of premature skepticism about Justin Trudeau’s ability to deliver on his platform this past week. But of the various promises made by his party during the recent election campaign the implementation of a new electoral system by the time we next go to the polls may be the most challenging. In its platform the federal Liberal Party pledged that the election of 2015 will be the “last federal election conducted under the first-past-the-post voting system.” The soon-to-be-governing party promises to create an “allparty parliamentary committee” to study the issue and “within 18 months of forming government… will introduce legislation to enact electoral reform.” Don’t get me wrong: our first-past-the-post system is fundamentally broken. Yet again we will – for the next four years
– have a government that won 100 per cent of the power with 39.5 per cent of the vote. Nowhere was the dysfunction of the system more apparent than in the province of Quebec, where the Liberals were able to pick up a whopping 40 out of 78 seats (51 per cent) with a measly 35.5 per cent of the votes due to the fourway split with the Conservatives, NDP and the Bloc Quebecois. This is a system in desperate need of repair. But democracy is a delicate thing, and allowing politicians to meddle with the rules represents the a very serious conflict of interest. It also sets a dangerous precedent for the future. Not only that, but there is a conundrum inherent in changing our electoral system by legislation. Implicit in the notion that our system is in need of repair is the suggestion that the status quo is somehow lacking in legitimacy. So how can a new system be accorded legitimacy when it was crafted by a government elected under a system already lacking in legitimacy? That lack of legitimacy might be overcome if there was broad consensus among all of the parties about where we go from here. But despite all the talk of “sunny days,” I am skeptical that we are on the cusp of a new
post-partisan era where political differences dissolve and cooperation becomes the new modus operandi in Ottawa. Along that vein, I doubt that will emerge from the “all-party parliamentary committee” the Liberals have proposed will be anything close to a consensus. The Conservatives in particular have every incentive to not only oppose any sort of change but scream foul about whatever is proposed. Yes the Conservative Party was unsuccessful this time around, but there appears to be something of a ceiling and floor to their vote share and they are much better served by the status quo than anything more proportional or anything that allows voters to pick a “second choice” – two of the options the committee will no doubt explore. Moreover, since they lack any natural allies in Parliament, if the best the Conservatives could muster would be minority governments in the future they would face great challenges in ever advancing a small “C” conservative agenda. The NDP’s position will be the exact opposite. If the last two elections have shown us anything it is the structural challenges that party faces if it ever hopes to take power under our system. Any-
thing less than a total overhaul will be inadequate to the NDP. There are legal limitations on what can be implemented as well. Some aspects of our electoral system are enshrined in the constitution. The Constitution states that no province shall have fewer seats in the House of Commons than it does in the Senate, and (subject to that rule) also requires that the provinces be proportionately represented in the House of Commons. These rules do not preclude electoral reform but they do constrain the choices. Incidentally this means that without a significant increase in the number of seats in the commons, the Yukon – along with the other territories and P.E.I. – will continue to enjoy our grossly disproportionate representation in the House, whatever the outcome. The provinces which have explored the idea of electoral reform in the past – P.E.I., Ontario and British Columbia – put the proposed change to the voters through a referendum. In each case the changes were rejected by the public, but the notion that electoral reform must be put to the voters is sound. Politicians – with a vested interested in maintaining power – should not have the authority to unilaterally tinker with the rules. I would argue
that in order for any new system to have any sort legitimacy, the Trudeau-led Liberal government will need to so as well. I don’t fault Trudeau for trying. I would have preferred that he had attached the qualifier that he would “try” to make the election of 2015 the “last federal election conducted under the first-pastthe-post voting system” and have been explicit that any new system would be put to the voters before our next scheduled trip to the polls in 2019. But politics being politics, such a qualification would inevitably have been met predictable howls that he was waffling and insincere – nuance and acknowledgements of the limitations of power being out of style in contemporary politics. And he should be credited for being willing to advance the idea, despite the fact that the Liberals has been well served by the firstpast-the-post system, having been in power longer than anyone else since Confederation. But not only must the new government come up with an alternative to our current system, it needs a lot of people to buy in to whatever the committee comes up with. I don’t anticipate that being easy.

Justin Trudeau and family to live in Rideau Cottage, not 24 Sussex Kristy Kirkup Canadian Press
OTTAWA ustin Trudeau will not move into the traditional prime minister’s residence at 24 Sussex Drive, at least until further notice. Instead, the prime ministerdesignate and his family will live at Rideau Cottage, a 19th century home located on the grounds of Rideau Hall, the Governor General’s residence. The cottage is actually a twostorey Georgian Revival brick home built in 1866-67 to serve as a home for the secretary to the governor general. Annabelle Cloutier, a spokeswoman for Rideau Hall, said this will be the first time a prime minister has lived on the grounds of the governor general’s residence. “It’s a big estate, so there is enough space for him to be living here and have his own private space with his family,” Cloutier said. The grounds cover 32 hectares. Rideau Cottage is located in an area not normally open to the public, but extra security will be provided on its perimeter. The other areas of Rideau Hall normally open to the public will remain so. “The grounds are open to the public, yes, because it’s the front of the residence of Rideau Hall that is open to the public and that remains the same,” said Cloutier. The cottage was last renovated in 2013 by the National Capital Commission. Stephen Wallace, the current secretary to Gov. Gen. David Johnston, moved out on the weekend to allow the Trudeaus to move in. The residence at 24 Sussex has been in need of repairs for years. In 2008, the National Capital Commission estimated repairs would cost about $10 million and would require full access to the residence for a minimum of 12 to 15 months. A critical auditor general’s report issued that year said putting off the rehabilitation of the residence could have a number of consequences including “the risk of fostering a negative image of Canada with visiting foreign dignitaries.” “The most recent work of an extensive nature carried out at 24 Sussex Drive dates back to when it was purchased by the government, over fifty years ago,” the report said. “It is

Prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau announced that he would move in to the residence. therefore not surprising to note that a number of the residence’s systems are reaching the end of their useful lives, are in poor condition, and will have to be replaced in the near future.” Broadcaster Catherine Clark, the daughter of former prime minister Joe Clark, produced a documentary on the residence last year. She congratulated the Trudeaus on making the decision saying it is the right choice. “I’m not surprised for a few reasons,” Clark said. “There is a very clear need for either full updating and renovation or rebuilding of a residence at 24
Sussex. It is so well documented at this point that it is a matter of making the right decision at the right time.” Clark said she has spoken to former residents who complained about the heat during the summer months and the chill in the winter. “There’s obviously an issue with technology and the house needs to be upgraded in a security sense as well,” she said. “If they’re going to rewire the house and make it a truly technology proficient place, that is going to be a big job in and of itself.” Clark said she recalls her mother telling a story about an electrical problem they encountered in her father’s den more than 30 years ago. “When they turned on a light on one side of the room, it blew the light out on the other side of the room,” Clark said. “Those are the kinds of things that happened in 1979, so you can imagine what kind of repairs are needed at this stage.” The Liberals say Trudeau will make decisions regarding 24 Sussex once he has been fully briefed by officials. Trudeau has rented a home in Ottawa’s upscale Rockcliffe Park neighbourhood since 2013.

Tom Mulcair says niqab position was a defining moment of political career Kristy Kirkup Canadian Press
OTTAWA DP Leader Tom Mulcair says he believes he did the right thing to stand up to Stephen Harper on the niqab – even though his position may well have cost his party some crucial support. In his first post-election interview with The Canadian Press, Mulcair says maintaining a principled approach on the issue was one of the defining moments of his political career. The issue of face coverings became a thorny issue during the campaign, with some suggesting it seriously hurt the party’s stronghold in Quebec, after Harper insisted on a ban on the garments at citizenship ceremonies. The Federal Court of Canada found the Conservative rule unlawful in February and the Federal Court of Appeal has supported that decision. Mulcair said he continues to think he did the “right thing to stand up to Mr. Harper on those issues.” “I would quote back to him his MPs that were being very divisive, talking about brown people or talking about Muslim women who should get the hell back to where they came from,” Mulcair said. “I wasn’t going to be part of that. I just found it undignified.” Mulcair said he thought it was wrong to divide Canadians on issues of race and religion. “These were defining moments for me in my political career and in the campaign,” Mulcair said. “And could a different result have been achieved? Perhaps. But I wasn’t going to do something that I had never done in my career. “I’d always been a person who stood up for his convictions.” Mulcair said his team was aware the niqab debate was a

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair addresses supporters at a campaign event in Toronto on October 5. “very emotional issue” that created waves in the campaign. “That’s something that was measured by us,” he said. “We knew that there was a very strong reaction. I was able to understand but I couldn’t agree… “I was also obliged to say that we live in a society where rights are not a popularity contest and the rights, when they’re set down by the courts, have to be respected. It is no longer a question of what people like or don’t like.” Following last Monday’s election, Mulcair says he has been busy calling successful and defeated MPs. “I have such great admiration and strong affection for every single person who had been involved in our caucus and I want to make sure we keep them close,” he said.
The NDP caucus is now made up of 44 MPs, including 16 new members. That’s down from 95 in the previous Parliament, with high-profile MPs such as Paul Dewar, Megan Leslie, Peggy Nash and Peter Stoffer losing their seats to Liberals. The NDP leader gave no indication that he has considered stepping down. Rather, Mulcair said his party continues to have much to offer, especially as the Liberal government prepares for an upcoming climate change conference in Paris and plans to move forward on issues such as electoral reform. “Both Mr. Trudeau and I have said that this one, the 2015 election, should be the last one under the old first-past-thepost system,” Mulcair said. “We should follow through on that. I also think that proportional rep-
resentation is the only real way to achieve that type of change. “So, I’m looking forward to having that discussion with him to see whether he wants to follow through. He’s going to get our full collaboration.” Mulcair also says his main consolation – in an election which saw his party lose its status as official opposition and fall back to third place – is that the NDP helped take down Harper after nine years in power. “The number one priority was to defeat and replace Stephen Harper’s government,” Mulcair said. “I am very satisfied, and it is my main consolation…that we were able to defeat Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.” Mulcair says he attributes a lot of that success to the work the NDP did in opposition. “We were able to take him
regularly and show his ethical shortcomings and during the campaign, we were very tough on him,” he said. “I think, at least we can say for that part of it, I think that was mission accomplished … it was the key condition that I had set down and we got that job done. He’s no longer there.” Mulcair said there was a strong desire for change among the Canadian public and he is optimistic about the role of the opposition going forward. “We’re just going to make sure that the positive change that we’ve always talked about, when we do have things in common, that it is there,” he said. “And when the government has different points of views from us … that the public is given full information so they can know what they’re dealing with.”

Owner of whale watching boat says it had perfect safety record before sinking Dirk Meissner Canadian Press
TOFINO, B.C. he owner of a whalewatching vessel that sank off British Columbia’s coast on Sunday, killing five people, doesn’t know why the boat would have flipped, sending 27 people into the water. “This vessel has operated for 20 years with an absolutely perfect safety record,” Jamie Bray, the owner of Jamie’s Whaling Station, said at a news conference on Monday. Bray said the 20-metre long Leviathan II flipped and when rescuers arrived it was still running and in gear, with it’s bow bobbing in the water. Private vessels rushed to the scene Sunday afternoon after the mayday call, picking up survivors and bodies. “We’re all traumatized,” Bray said, his voice shaking. One person was still classified as missing on Monday afternoon. Marc-Andre Poisson, director of investigation for the Transportation Safety Board, said they don’t know what caused the boat to sink but they’ll be collecting data, conducting interviews, looking at weather conditions, analyzing photos and the maintenance records of the vessel. Poisson said the boat has been towed away to a sheltered area to be examined. All five people who died were British nationals, Britain’s Foreign Office confirmed on Monday. “My thoughts are with the family and friends of all those affected by this terrible accident,” British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said in a statement, adding consular staff in B.C. are supporting grieving family members. The B.C. Coroners Service said those killed ranged in age from 18 to 76, and that four of them were men. Three of the dead were from Britain, while two of the British nationals were living in Canada. The woman was from B.C. and a man lived in Ontario, the service said. Richard Little, 59, owner of a water taxi called the Ahousaht Raider, said he arrived at the accident scene after volunteers had rescued survivors and removed many of the dead. He said the boat had not sunk but was bouncing up and down in the water, its bow up and stern down. “I could see debris floating out of the cabin, the windows, door was slamming open and shut, and like cushions from seats and cushions from … inside the boat were floating out of the boat,” he said. He said he also saw a deflated life-raft, still attached to the boat with a line. The Ahoushat First Nation was the closest community to where the boat sank, about 15 kilometres northwest of the tourist town of Tofino. Robert Burridge of Nanaimo was in Ahousaht on Sunday af-

They have a custom not to leave a body out at sea.” Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed in a statement that an Australian man was missing. The Associated Press reported that it was providing consular assistance to the man’s family. Australian Associated Press reported that the 27 year-old Sydney man’s family said he was on the boat with his girlfriend and her family when it sank. His girlfriend’s father was among the five British citizens confirmed dead, the Australian news agency said. Some of the 21 people who were rescued were injured. Valerie Wilson, with the Island Health authority, said four people

remained in different hospitals around the province. All four people were listed in stable condition, she said. Michael Harris, executive director of the Pacific Whale Watching Association, said the whale-watching community is in shock over the incident. He said tour operators go above and beyond to make sure their passengers are safe. Harris said the first thing operators do when passengers get on
board is explain safety, including where the life-jackets are kept. It’s unclear if the passengers on the Leviathan were wearing lifejackets. Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau and B.C. Premier Christy Clark expressed their condolences. “I was shocked and saddened to hear of the sinking of a whale watching boat near the B.C. coast and the passengers aboard who have lost their lives in the incident,” Trudeau said.
Both Trudeau and the premier thanked people who helped in the rescue effort. Tofino residents Sean and Deddeda White arrived with flowers at the dock on Monday as an RCMP dive team prepared to leave for the accident scene. Deddeda White said she gathered cedar bows and flowers from her garden to make the bouquet she left at the dock. “This affects the whole town,” she said.

THE ARTS Trip to Cameroon a creative boon for young Yukoner

L
iving in Cameroon’s tropical rainforest, part of the second largest in the world, can present its own set of unique challenges. It took Calla Kinglit half a day to get to the village where she lived, driving along a bright red, dusty, dirt road that was flanked by the darkest greens imaginable. The dust clung to her clothing and turned her skin a deep orange hue, she said. On top of that she was one of the few outsiders around, and struggled with the local language, French, at first. But despite the barriers, Kinglit said she emerged from her experience in the Central African country with a better understanding of herself. “Cameroon is a pretty closed country and especially living in the rainforest, I stood out a lot,” she said.
“It made me feel very exposed all the time. Even when people were friendly, the feeling was there. “But it was a life-changing experience, like a process of spiritual refinement.” The 24-year-old Whitehorse resident spent almost 10 months there in 2011 as a researcher for her degree in international development studies. Her work led her to examine how non-governmental organizations affect local power dynamics. She discovered that NGOs with significant funding do tend to affect the power hierachy in a given region. Her experiences inspired some of the songs that will be featured in her debut album, which she recently started recording. The songwriter and poet placed second in the 2015 Emerging Artist Music Mentorship Program, a nationwide competition with a field of over
300 entries from Canadian musicians. She received a cash prize of $7,000 and the opportunity to perform at the Canada Walk of Fame inductee ceremony and artist showcase at the end of September. Now back in Whitehorse, she’s working on recording two pieces that she’ll eventually present to more established producers who can hopefully help her finish the rest of the tracks. Introspection is a big part of Kinglit’s process as a musician, she said. “Challenges force you to look at yourself – they make you ask questions like ‘Did my ego get in the way? Was I listening to the people around me?’” she said. “These challenges make the process more painful but they’re also effective at making you learn how to be more humble, patient and open.” Island in the Sea is a song about being grateful for who you
are in the world and recognizing that despite not being at the centre of things, you play an important role, she explained. “It has an uplifting feel to it with a bit of darkness – which is a common theme in my music,” she said. “It’s sort of a cathartic darkness that you cross on your way up to the light.” Kinglit plays a hollow-body electric guitar, which give her upper and lower tones more warmth than a solid-body guitar. She calls the genre dark folk, but her music also features aspects of neo-folk, which contains some electronic elements. Other songs on the album reflect the feelings she felt at different stages of her time in Cameroon, like when the culture shock began to wear off around the third month. She also hopes to collaborate with two classical musicians she met while she was in Toronto last month.
“Ideally they could come up to record with me but also to experience what the Yukon is like,” she said. “It’s a place that’s been a huge source of inspiration to me.” Born in Cochrane, Ont., Kinglit’s family moved around a lot during her childhood. When she was four they moved to Zimbabwe, then back to Peterborough, Ont. for a few years. At the age of 14 they moved back to Africa, to Egypt this time, where they lived in a small village for a year. Kinglit was enrolled in an international school in Cairo for the following two years, before going to university in Toronto. “My parents are very adventurous and wanted to expose us to different cultures,” she said. She hopes to have the pair of pieces completed by early 2016, she added. Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

Gordon Lightfoot statue unveiled in his hometown of Orillia, Ont. Victoria Ahearn Canadian Press
ORILLIA, ONT. n a crisp autumn day with his hit “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald� playing in the background, a humble Gordon Lightfoot reflected on his roots in Orillia, Ont., as a lakefront sculpture of the singersongwriter was unveiled before hundreds of fans. “When I found out they were working on it, I thought, ‘Why me? What have I done that is so great that I should deserve to have a statue, a very artistic work done?�’ said Lightfoot, 76, in an interview shortly before the unveiling, which was also attended by his wife and daughter and the mayor. Figurative artist Timothy Schmalz of St. Jacobs, Ont., created the four-metre-high bronze work called “Golden Leaves - A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot,� which is at Barnfield Point, on the Gordon Lightfoot Trail. He said he designed it three years ago and got the funding for it – it cost about $500,000 to make – about a year and a half ago. The sculpture depicts a bearded Lightfoot in his 20s sitting on the ground and looking down contemplatively as he plays an

A wreath of leaves in the shape of a giant maple leaf artistically frames him. Some of the leaves depict scenes from songs on his 1975 album Gord’s Gold. “I was raised singing in the choir and taking piano lessons, and my parents were good that
way and they encouraged me,� said Lightfoot. “I became a soloist and decided very early on that I wanted to be a performer, by the time I was perhaps eight or 10 years of age here in Orillia, and I’d already made that decision within myself. “I could feel it.� The legendary troubadour said his parents loved Bing Crosby and would play his records, especially at Christmastime. “I sort of got hooked on that.
I said to myself, ‘I wonder, is it really possible to succeed as a vocalist or a singer?’ I had never written any songs or anything like that, I was not particularly brilliant with my piano lessons. “But I learned some stuff that came back to me later on.� Lightfoot eventually left Orillia to take a music course in the U.S., but he returned and worked as a truck driver before moving to Toronto, where his career began within the Yorkville folk scene with artists including Joni
Mitchell. With hits including “If You Could Read My Mindâ€? and “Sundown,â€? Lightfoot went on to win 17 Juno Awards in his career and picked up five Grammy nominations. “Well, I still haven’t won the Grammy Award either,â€? he quipped with a laugh. “No, I’m just kidding. I don’t care. “This is super special, to have a monument of this kind. And the location here, the Mariposa Folk Festival location, where I do the odd cameo still and performed here five times over the years‌. It’s very appropriate.â€? Asked if he has plans to write or record again, he suggested he doesn’t, noting his main focus is his family and touring. “In a funny kind of a way, I really don’t want to, because the responsibilities that I have accumulated for myself and my lifestyle through the years has been quite complicated. I have quite an extensive family and they require a lot of attention. And I’m not really under contract right now, so I’m just sort of taking it easy. “I was under contract to record companies for 33 years.â€? Schmalz, who has created large public monuments and religious sculptures for sites around the world, said he was thrilled to work on a Lightfoot piece. “I grew up loving Gordon Lightfoot. This was music that was omnipresent in my studio. I can’t tell you how many sculptures I actually created with Gordon Lightfoot in the background. And now, Gordon Lightfoot’s in the foreground,â€? Schmalz said. The sculpture was gifted to the City of Orillia by the Rudolph P. Bratty Family Foundation.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Outside the Cube prepares to shut its doors
Joel Krahn/Yukon News
After years of manning the helm of Outside the Cube, a Whitehorse marketing firm, owner Dee Enright is stepping down. Maura Forrest News Reporter
A
fter more than a decade in business, a successful Whitehorse marketing firm is closing up shop. Dee Enright has been the owner of Outside the Cube since 2008. When she first came to the Yukon in 2005, she was still working for a big marketing agency down south. But she took over Outside the Cube, she said, to prove that “you didn’t have to be in Toronto or Vancouver to be a ‘real agency.’” Now, though, she’s getting ready to pack her bags and move to Prince Edward Island, where she plans to run a bedand-breakfast and enjoy her semi-retirement. “I’ve been thinking about this over the last year or two,” she said. “You just know the timing is right.”
Enright’s departure will mean the end of Outside the Cube, at least in its present form. She said she talked with her senior management team about the company’s future, but none of them was ready to buy her out. “Running a business is not easy,” she said. “That wasn’t something they wanted to take on.” Still, she said she feels good about the decision. “There’s no big hit,” she said. “I didn’t have a plan to get rich off it.” Enright said some members of her 15-person team will find work with other firms. Others will likely freelance and take some of Outside the Cube’s existing contracts with them. Over the years, Outside the Cube has pulled off some of the territory’s most recognizable marketing campaigns. Most recently, they’ve helped
produce the Yukon Now tourism commercials, which feature the work of local filmmakers showcasing the territory through their own eyes. The first winter commercial was broadcast in February 2015, and the Department of Tourism and Culture has recently unveiled five new ads. The project recently won the 2015 Explore Canada Award of Excellence for most innovative PR campaign. Outside the Cube also helped showcase Canada’s Northern House during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, and negotiated with Amazing Race Canada to get the show to make a stop here during the 2014 season. And in 2013, the company won a Canadian Marketing Association award for a campaign that screened images of Yukon wilderness onto the sides of
buildings in Toronto. Still, the Yukon isn’t the easiest location for a marketing agency to thrive. Wages are higher here, and it’s harder to stay on the pulse of changes in the industry. There also just aren’t that many clients here. About 60 per cent of Outside the Cube’s contracts come from the government, and Enright said the company wouldn’t have survived without taking contracts from Outside. But Enright said she’s proud of the work her team has done, in spite of those challenges. “Eight years ago, I saw real opportunity,” she said. “I really felt there was tremendous opportunity here in the territory. I think we’ve grown a lot over the last eight to 10 years.” For the moment, business will continue as usual. Outside the Cube isn’t taking any new
contracts, but it will continue to work on existing projects until it closes its doors on March 31, 2016. Echo Ross, an account manager with Outside the Cube, called the closure “bittersweet.” “Obviously it’s emotional,” she said. “I’ve worked with a lot of great people.” But Ross said she hasn’t been left in the lurch. She plans to keep working for Softball Yukon, one of Outside the Cube’s clients, on upcoming national and world championships. And she understands why the company has to close. “Without Dee (Enright)... it wouldn’t be the same,” she said. “From my perspective, she’s definitely the brains behind the operation. She’s able to run a team, and she’s able to make the hard decisions. “She is Outside the Cube.” Contact Maura Forrest at maura.forrest@yukon-news.com

A simple ‘you’ avoids any gender confusion by Judith Martin
MISS
MANNERS DEAR MISS MANNERS: Is there a polite way to ask a person which gender he or she identifies with? With the relaxation of the bias against the LGBT community, people are more open to be who they really are, and that can be confusing. One acquaintance was raised as a girl, but identifies as male. Another is miffed when con-
fused for a male even though she purposefully looks like a teenage boy. Any way to minimize the social awkwardness? GENTLE READER: Are you expecting Miss Manners to come up with a way of quizzing new acquaintances about their gender that would NOT be socially awkward? Are you aware that many people are offended at being asked their occupations, or where they are from, or where they went to school? Additionally, there is a range of gender categories, not just male and female, and a vocabulary that has been proposed to go with each, but has not been universally recognized. So guessing is, if anything, worse than asking.

Others (family members) have told me that they won’t attend a dry reception. Is it a rude choice? I’m so disappointed that grown adults would threaten to skip celebrating a special day with us if we don’t give in to their demands about what we serve. GENTLE READER: If your relatives feel that they need to drink to attend your wedding, the alcohol problem in your family is even worse that you thought. Of course it is not obligatory to serve alcohol at a wedding, or any other social event. Miss Manners suggests that you tell your relatives that you are sorry to miss them. A message delivered to their favorite bar should be able to reach them.

In her final race, she placed eighth in the 800 semi and did not advance to the final on Monday. “The event that stands out the most for me, and forever will, was the 800-metre,” said Frotten. “I completely forgot it was a one-command start. I lost at least a second and a half maybe even two and I wasn’t able to catch the first pack of girls. I was super duper bummed after that one. On the bright side I will never ever do that again!”
Frotten qualified for worlds at the Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games in August where she won medals in two of her three events. She captured bronze in the women’s 400-metre with a personal best time of 1:01.13 and bronze in the 100-metre. She also took fourth in the 800-metre. She was selected for the Parapan Games after winning five medals at the 2015 Canadian Track and Field Championships in July. “Well I have some time off now from training. I am really looking forward to that!” said Frotten. “It has been a long busy season. I will really have my work cut out for me once I get back at it! “I haven’t really been able to check anything out (in Doha) yet because I’ve been racing every day,” she added. “Now that I

Maybe I’ll go ride a camel on the beach.” Frotten is one of 35 athletes and just 12 females on the Canadian team in Doha. The team participated in a two-week training camp in Dubai leading up to the worlds. By the end of competition on Tuesday, Canada had won a total of 31 medals. The championships wrap up on Oct. 31. “All I want to add is another huge shout out to the Yukon!” said Frotten. “Thank you to everyone for all the congratulations messages! I am overwhelmed with all of the support. Once again my Facebook has been blowing up!” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Whitehorse runners off their game at B.C. XC championships

T
wo Whitehorse runners produced very respectable finishes with fast times at the 2015 B.C. Provincial Cross Country Championships in Nanaimo on Saturday. But given a chance, it sounds like they’d like a redo. “The race conditions were
absolutely perfect, it was a very fast course, but I just wasn’t able to put it together on that day for whatever reason,” said Lindsay Carson. “All in all it was a pretty solid performance and it was against a pretty stacked field, so it does give me greater motivation to keep on training hard for nationals.” “Honestly, the race was a bit rough for me,” said Kieran Hal-

liday. “I sort of lost focus halfway through the race and it sort of unraveled from there. But that’s OK. I’m really looking forward to the next race, which is regionals in two weeks. Hopefully I can make the team there and move forward from this.” Carson placed seventh out of 57 participants in the women’s race and was sixth for open women. The 26-year-old completed the six-kilometre course in 19 minutes and 39 seconds, just 51 seconds behind the winner. As great as seventh place is, Carson placed third at last year’s B.C. championship in Abbotsford. She then took eighth at the nationals, earning the opportunity to compete for Canada at her second world championships. She placed 59th at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Guiyang, China, in March. More recently, Carson won
the eight-kilometre women’s race at Victoria Marathon for a second year in a row this month. In Victoria she beat Saturday’s second place finisher Hilary Stellingwerff. “So I know I have it in me, I just didn’t have a good day,” said Carson. “I had an off race. Work has been kind of busy lately, so maybe that trickled into my running.” Amazingly, all top 10 runners broke the 20-minute mark in the women’s race on Saturday. Or maybe it wasn’t so amazing… “The course was definitely short. People were running insane times, so it wasn’t a true six kilometres,” said Carson. “It was probably short by 200 metres. “I’ve only broken 20 minutes once in my running career.” Halliday placed 57th overall and 22nd for junior male in the 88-runner men’s race in
Nanaimo. The 19-year-old finished the eight-kilometre course in 26:22. “Some races it all clicks and you run great, in other races it’s at your fingertips and you can’t get a hold on it and the race doesn’t go your way,” said Halliday. “You always try to have the same sleep schedule, same eating patterns, get your head in the game the same way every time. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.” Halliday was racing for the University of British Columbia’s Thunderbirds cross-country team on Saturday, helping the men’s team place third overall. The Thunderbirds will next race the Association of Independent Institutions in Colorado on Nov. 7 followed by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics championships on Nov. 21 in Charlotte, N.C.

Huskies scrambling for games after Yeti team folds Tom Patrick News Reporter
T
he Nuway Crushing Whitehorse Huskies have experienced their first setback of the season – and they haven’t even played a game yet. The senior men’s AA hockey club is actively searching for teams to play this season following the announcement B.C.’s Fort Nelson Yeti team has folded. The Huskies, who had games scheduled with the Yeti, are required to play six B.C. Hockey sanctioned games to qualify for the Coy Cup – British Columbia’s AA championship trophy. The Whitehorse club was caught off guard by the announcement, but Huskies president and general manager Matt King is optimistic. “Obviously it’s unfortunate the Yeti folded,” said King. “Being the team closest to Whitehorse, it’s easier for the season. It’s more cost effective to travel out and to get the team up to Whitehorse to play. “It’s a new challenge and I’ve contacted probably five different teams here in the last day and we have some interest in teams coming up. So I’m pretty optimistic we’ll be able to keep our planned three home series. We’ll just have a different team than the Yeti.” The Yeti made the announcement on the team’s Facebook page on Sunday. Less than two weeks ago the Huskies and Yeti firmed up dates for a home-and-home series this season. A “player shortage” was the main cause for the team’s decision to scrub the season, said Yeti captain and general manager Ryan Carter. “It was pretty sudden, for sure,” said Carter. “We had good expectations for this season. Senior hockey is quite like this: a few key guys missing and it really changes the landscape, especially in a town of ours that is only 3,000 people. “The economy is really hurting. A couple guys get laid off or a couple guys move away, it really changes the landscape. We’ve never cut a player from our team. “We haven’t had a lot of guys try out. A lot of our recruiting is begging and pleading for guys to come out and play.” In addition to a low turnout at tryouts, the Yeti also lost one of its two goalies to injury. The announcement comes after the Yeti already played a two-game series against the Fort St. John Flyers – last season’s Coy Cup champions – losing 4-3 and 7-1 this month. This season would have been the team’s third season since senior hockey returned to Fort Nelson. There was another senior team about 15 years ago, said Carter. “If the local economy turns around, maybe some hockey players will move to town,” said Carter. “This is the worst the economy has been in Fort Nelson in probably 40 years. Guys are scared to

Whitehorse Huskies assistant captain Evan Campbell gets ready to score on the Fort Nelson Yeti last season. The Huskies are working to secure games with other teams after the Yeti announced on Sunday the club has folded. take a day off to travel for hockey when they might get laid off. “We tried to get some guys together to play here in three weeks and the commitment just wasn’t there for the whole year. We didn’t want to get in a case where Whitehorse came down here and we couldn’t reciprocate and make the games up there too.” Yeti staff will review the situation over the off-season with the hope of returning next year. The Huskies were scheduled to play the Yeti in Fort Nelson Nov. 13 and 14 and then host the Yeti Dec. 11 and 12.
The Whitehorse club is also looking at Jan. 22 and 23 and Feb. 5 and 6 as possible dates for other series. “Now we’re just trying to find teams to fill those time slots,” said King. “We were already in talks with Powell River and they are likely to take one of those spots. We’ve been talking to a AAA team out of Alberta that will probably take the January spot – we’re just trying to work out the details. There’s actually a brand new senior AAA team out of Vancouver that just formed and they have some interest in coming up here.”
The Huskies went undefeated in eight exhibition games with four wins over the Fort Nelson Yeti, two over the Powell River Regals and two over the Yellowknife Flyers last season. Whitehorse then lost two straight in a best-of-three playoff series to the Fort St. John Flyers in March, ending the team’s Coy Cup run. The Flyers went on to win the Coy Cup, defeating the Terrace River Kings in the final. Not only do the Huskies hope to win the Coy Cup in the coming years, the club wants to host it as
well. With the Yeti folding, “It makes it more logistically challenging for us and also more expensive,” said King. “A lot of teams we end up bringing up here, we’ll have to help pay for them to come up here. The advantage with Fort Nelson is they paid their way up here. “We’ve looked at the budget, we’ve crunched the numbers, and we think we can still make a go of it.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Dawson hockey teams nab wins in Iceland Tom Patrick News Reporter
B
efore journeying to Iceland this month, Dawson City players hadn’t seen ice-time since last season. They play on natural ice in the Klondike town and when spring finally melts the ice, skating is done until next freeze-up. So when two Dawson teams took to the ice at the Iceland International Ice Hockey Cup a couple weeks ago in Reykjavik, it took a little time to get back in game-shape. “Our goal was actually to score one goal because none of us had been on the ice since March. We all went over there

without having laced up in six months.” said Klondike Ice Queens “de facto” captain Janice Cliff. “Our first period was a disaster. They scored four quick goals on us in the first period, but by the second period we had all calmed down, got used to the Olympic-size ice, which we were also not used to skating on.” Not only did the Ice Queens women’s team get goals, they got a win with a 3-2 win over a northern Icelandic squad. “We were extremely ecstatic about one win over an international team,” said Cliff. The men’s team, the Dawson City Nuggets, took wins and a medal. The Nuggets won three out of four games, making the final and taking silver. Win or lose, the whole thing was a great experience, said Nuggets captain Steve Laszlo. “It was more about the cultural exchange experience and going to another country like Iceland,” said Laszlo. “It was one of those oncein-a-lifetime things, but now we have a taste for it, so we’re thinking what’s next, how do we do this again? We all agreed

it was a fun time … Who knows what’s down the road.” The Nuggets won their first three games over Icelandic teams with goalie Daniel Naef notching two shutouts. Dawson’s Charlie Dagostin, Ryan Paolini, Greg Paolini, Nathan Dewell, Owen Mackinnon, Neil Loveless, Dale Bulmer, Steve Laszlo and Troy Suzuki posted goals along the way. Go figure, it took another Canadian team to stop their run. The Nuggest fell 3-2 to the Muskoka 72s from Ontario in the final. Frank Kormendy and Will Fellers scored for Dawson. “The last game we played another Canadian team and came up one goal short,” said Laszlo. “We got one back late (making it 3-2) and we threw everything we had at them including the kitchen sink but couldn’t tie it up.” Klondike Ice Queens opened with a 5-0 loss to a team from Finalnd. They then got their 3-2 win over an Iceland team with goals from Joanne Anderson, Katie Fraser second and Taylor Bradley with the game-winner. In another Canada v. Canada match-up, the Ice Queens lost 3-2 to the Beaver Dames from Toronto. Bradley and Anderson, who was named team MVP, scored. The Ice Queens were blown out by another Toronto team in their fourth game. “Exhaustion, the search for the perfect hot dog and too many good dance clubs took their toll on the Ice Queens,” said Cliff.

Two Dawson City teams played in the tournament. The Ice Queens managed to keep two of their games close despite the fact the team’s goalie, Heidi Bliedung, was playing with a torn ACL. “She had all three ligaments torn in her knee, but she still managed to get her skates on and do the best she could,” said Cliff. Both Dawson team were made up of players ranging from their early 20s to mid 50s. In addition to the 15 men and 13 women, about 20 Daw-
son supporters made the trip and didn’t miss a game. “It just goes to show how supportive Dawson is to crazy ideas,” said Cliff. “We always had 20 fans in the bleachers and I feel that’s where we showed all the other teams up – in spirit.” “It was the women’s hockey in Dawson that really got the ball rolling for this one. The guys just tagged along,” she added. Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com
