Dawson skier rescued after life-threatening fall Ashley Joannou News Reporter

A

Dawson City crosscountry skier was saved from near-certain death Monday after she tumbled about 20 metres over an embankment.

Rescuers from around Dawson worked together in the dark that evening to save her life. She was seriously injured but is now recovering in hospital and is expected to be OK. Search-and-rescue volunteers were called at approximately 5:45 p.m. after the skier, who hasn’t been identified, hadn’t returned home in time for an appointment.

She’d gone out around 3:30 or 4 p.m. to ski on a trail just east of Moose Mountain Ski Hill, partway up the Midnight Sun Dome Road, said John (Mitch) Mitchell, with Yukon Search and Rescue.

Trained search-and-rescue volunteers, RCMP, paramedics and the Dawson City Fire Department, along with a local contractor, all contributed to the happy ending.

Searchers in the area spotted the woman’s tracks and, using snowmobiles, were able to follow them to the edge of the embankment.

She had turned off the trail and gone into an unbroken area before tumbling 18 to 24 metres and ending up on the Klondike River, Mitchell said.

The last six metres of the fall would have been straight down.

For privacy reasons, Mitchell isn’t talking about the woman’s injuries other than to say she was badly hurt. He estimates that within an hour of getting the call rescuers were able to call down to her.

Getting to her was a more difficult feat.

She had managed to pick herself up after falling and walk a couple hundred metres along the river to try and get to safety, he said. “Somehow, with her injuries she had managed to work her way down along the edge of the river without going through the ice or falling into the water.�

Jim Regimbal/Yukon News

Search-and-rescue volunteers use headlamps to reach a fallen skier on the Klondike River on Monday night.

Eventually she fell down and couldn’t get enough traction on the ice to stand back up again, he said.

She was found lying on the north side of the Klondike River near Thomas Gulch, just outside of Dawson City, on a frozen dredge pond.

Rescuers decided the best way to reach her was to split up. Half would try to carefully make their way in the dark across the river from the other side. The others repelled down the side of the embankment.

The volunteers had just been trained in how to do these rope rescues last winter, Mitchell said.

Everyone was wearing headlamps to see, Mitchell said. The Dawson City Fire Department also brought in a truck with lights of its own.

The rescuers who first spotted the woman got to the top of the embankment using snowmobiles. The trip would have been more difficult for the vehicles carrying the rescue equipment if it were not for local contractor, Gerry Grenon, who cleared a road and a flat staging area with his plow so that emergency vehicles and rescuers could get closer to the scene.

Both rescue teams – the one from the river and the one from

above – reached the woman at about the same time, Mitchell said.

She was lightly dressed for an afternoon of skiing. By the time rescuers got to her, she had stopped shivering – a dangerous sign for anyone suffering from hypothermia, Mitchell said. “She wouldn’t have made it through the night. I think we’re talking hours here.�

But rescuers were able to start a fire and bundle the woman up to keep her warm.

They were able to find a route to safety from the ground, meaning she didn’t have to be hoisted up by rope. “That’s pretty challenging‌ The tailing piles are deceptively difficult to move through. You’re running over this marble sort of, with water coming up in the depressions and thin ice and brush and stuff like that,â€? Mitchell said. “It’s not a walk in the park by any means.â€?

Within 90 minutes of getting to her, the woman was in the back of an ambulance Mitchell said.

All the rescue operation’s moving parts had worked together and she was safe.

Climate change progress report light on progress Maura Forrest News Reporter

T

he Yukon government’s new progress report on its climate change action plan shows little progress on several of the territory’s emissions targets.

Yukon does not appear to be on track to meet emissions reduction targets for Yukon government operations or for the government’s light fleet, nor does it seem to be making much headway with an attempt to reduce consumer electricity use.

However, the report sets out several new climate change adaptation measures, including new road construction methods to preserve permafrost.

Overall, Yukon’s greenhouse gas emissions have declined between 2011 and 2013, the most recent year for which data is available.

Oddly, total emissions for 2013 were not included in the report, which Kirsten Burrows, a senior analyst with the Yukon climate change secretariat, could not explain during a briefing on Thursday.

“There’s no specific reason as to why they haven’t been included,” she said. “I can’t speak as to why.”

But Environment Yukon later confirmed that 2013 emissions totalled 586 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, down from 695 kilotonnes in 2011.

Emissions from the transportation sector also declined by 9.74 per cent between 2012 and 2013. That means the govern-

ment’s goal of reducing transportation emissions by 10 per cent from 2012 levels by 2015 was almost met in a single year.

But those declines have little to do with government action, said John Streicker, a climate change scientist and a potential Liberal candidate in the 2016 territorial election.

“In reality, that reduction in emissions is due to changes in our resource industry.”

He argued that if a new mine opens and Yukon’s economy starts to grow again, emissions will pick right back up.

Yukon does not have a territory-wide emissions reduction target. But it does have a goal of reducing emissions from government operations to 20 per cent below 2010 levels by 2015.

According to the report, however, preliminary data show that government emissions in 2013 were slightly higher than in 2010.

The government also has a target of reducing emissions from its light fleet by five per cent by 2015. As of 2014, those emissions had increased by three per cent.

However, Burrows pointed out that the increase in emissions is due to more kilometres being driven, and that the government is buying more fuel-efficient vehicles.

In 2014, Yukon Energy and ATCO Electric Yukon launched a program to reduce electricity consumption by offering LED lighting and energy-saving kits.

The program was intended to help the territory reach its goal of reducing on-grid electricity use

duces a number of new measures that include installing energy efficient lighting in schools and launching a new ride-sharing program in Whitehorse in 2016.

Streicker said the government has done well with implementing measures to help the territory adapt to climate change, and in developing its own method for calculating emissions accurately.

But he’s unimpressed by the attempts to reduce emissions.

“For dealing with the causes of climate change, no. There’s no progress here.”

Streicker admitted that the Yukon faces challenges in making substantial cuts to emissions, since the majority of the territory’s greenhouse gases come from transportation.

“Transportation is so tough.

Say we bring in electric cars, and we get everybody onto electric cars. Well, you still have a lot of big truck traffic.”

But he said the government needs to be more ambitious. He said it would be difficult for the Joel Krahn/Yukon News Yukon to set a territory-wide emissions target, because as Kirsten Burrows, an analyst with the Yukon climate change soon as a new mine starts up, secretariat, explains the newest progress report on the emissions would increase dragovernment’s climate change action plan. matically. by five gigawatt-hours by 2016. be accurately calculated.

Red-tape causes delay for city’s new municipal buildings Myles Dolphin News Reporter

T

he City of Whitehorse’s plans to build two new headquarters for its staff have been delayed by about a year because it still hasn’t obtained a lease for the land from the Yukon government.

Announced during last year’s capital budget, the City plans to spend $56 million over the next three years to consolidate many of its existing buildings into two locations: a service building next to city hall and an operations building off Range Road on Two Mile Hill.

Just under one-third of next year’s capital budget, or $5 million, has been allocated to the project.

City council and administration had hoped to have construction begin in 2016 with occupancy for the operations building ready for late 2017, and the services building ready in early 2018.

But those plans have been pushed back, according to City Manager Christine Smith.

City officials met with Public Works Minister Scott Kent last

week to discuss the lease, among other issues.

Smith said the territorial government was “very open and collaborative.”

But while the City would like to move forward with the project and enter the design stage as soon as possible, Smith said, it was told there was an issue with the territory’s Financial Administration Act. The act is written to protect public money from losses in risky investments. It states investments must adhere to specific guidelines. They must be guaranteed by Canada, a province or a bank, or receive the highest rating from at least two recognized security-rating institutions.

Smith said the City wasn’t explained what the specific issue with the act was.

But it was told the issue had been resolved this week and Kent would need one more meeting with his colleagues before getting back to the City on the lease.

“We weren’t told anything more than that,” Smith said.

“It’s not our jurisdiction, there’s nothing about the municipality in that act. We were told that’s what the delay’s about.”

Government spokesperson Dan Macdonald said the lease needs to go to cabinet first.

“The minister made a commitment to do that as soon as possible,” Macdonald said this morning.

Smith said the City hopes to get an answer on the leases before the end of this week.

The City says the project, called the city’s Building Consolidation Project, should ultimately save money by shuttering old, energy-inefficient buildings and bringing most of its workers together under two roofs, rather than having them scattered in many downtown locations.

The services building would house human resources, parks and community development, corporate services and development services. The operations building would be the new home for fleet maintenance, waste and water services, utility systems, engineering, operations, transportation maintenance and traffic maintenance.

This project will not result in a tax increase, members of council have stated on multiple occasions.

Contractor picked to build new continuing care centre

T

he Yukon government has picked a contractor to design and build the new 150-bed continuing care facility in Whistle Bend.

The government issued a news release late yesterday announcing it had chosen PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. with its partners CEI Architecture and Derek Crawford Architect Inc. as the preferred proponents to handle the build.

PCL is the same company that is currently working on the expansion of the Whitehorse General Hospital. It is based out of Richmond, B.C. The two architectural companies are also from B.C. The government will negotiate with PCL to settle the final terms of the design-build agreement, the news release said.

The contract is expected in the new year. Construction will begin in early 2016, with a target completion date of mid-2018.

A networking session will be held to connect local contractors and service providers with the design-build team, the government says.

The project is moving forward despite vocal complaints from many people, including the Official Opposition, who say a big facility out in the sparsely developed Whistle Bend neighbourhood is not in the territory’s best interest.

The government has always insisted that such a centre is needed.

“We’ve heard from Yukoners and our health care professionals that this continuing care facility is urgently needed,” said Health and Social Services Minister Mike Nixon in the press release.

“We are excited to move forward on this facility. It embraces best practices based on informed evidence from across the nation, and is designed with a lens that encompasses aging and dementia care. With this facility, Yukon will continue to be a national leader in providing a broad continuum of services to seniors.”

The project is expected to cost about $158 million, but the final figure won’t be announced until a contract is signed, the government said.

fter first refusing to give information about problems with recent construction at the Whitehorse airport, the Yukon government is now speaking out – and is blaming the contractor.

Paul Murchison, director of the transportation engineering branch at the Department of Highways and Public Works, said concrete poured by Norcope Construction Group “doesn’t have the strength or durability that’s specified.�

He said Norcope is now in default of its contract.

Earlier this week, Norcope president Doug Gonder spoke to the News about the $3.5-million contract his company was awarded to replace about 250 apron panels at the airport in the summer of 2014. The apron is the area where planes nose up to the airport after landing.

Gonder claims the project had major problems right from the start, because it was built on seasonal frost that thaws and freezes, causing the ground to rise and fall throughout the year.

He said the concrete started to sink as soon as it was poured.

According to Gonder, the government knew about the problems and chose not to reinforce the construction, and now the concrete is cracking from the seasonal shift.

He blames the government for trying to “cheat and cut corners� on the project.

But Murchison said that’s not what happened.

He admits there was one area of the project with “frost-susceptible soil� that engineers hadn’t expected. “When construction started, there was some settlement,� he said. “It was enough that we needed to take a look at it and make sure that there weren’t going to be problems.�

Murchison said that area was reinforced with a concrete mud slab.

But he maintains that the apron panels were designed to withstand seasonal movement without cracking. “The soil conditions don’t have anything to do with the problems with the panels.�

Instead, Murchison blames the contractor for not building the panels properly.

He compared pouring concrete to making a cake. He said the ingredients have to be mixed properly and it has to be allowed to cure, the way a cake needs time to bake. “You have to follow very strict steps to get that concrete to be exactly what is specified at the end.� He said Norcope didn’t follow those steps properly.

Gonder denies any wrongdoing. He said the project would have been stopped partway through if his company’s work had been deficient. “They would never allow me to continue and pour without a specification of that concrete being rectified.�

Gonder said he commissioned an independent engineering report last summer that proves the problems were caused by seasonal shift. The News has not yet seen this report.

When asked why the work wasn’t stopped and fixed during construction, Murchison said that “problems don’t always become clear immediately.�

But one thing Murchison and Gonder agree on is that there are now major problems with the entire project.

Murchison said the previous panels lasted for 30 years, but cracks have already appeared in the new panels since they were completed just over a year ago. “The panels will deteriorate

He said the government declared Norcope in default of its contract in August 2015, and is now dealing with the bonding company that holds a nearly $1.8-million performance bond from Norcope.

He said the bonding company is assessing the situation independently, and will decide whether the contractor is liable for repairs to the panels. He is expecting to hear from the bonding company in “the next couple of weeks.�

Gonder has a letter from the government stating that Norcope is not liable for cracks “shown to be caused by differential settlement.�

Murchison said the cost of the fix will depend on whether the apron panels can be repaired, or whether the project needs to be completely redone. That is yet to be determined.

He said the performance bond could cover the cost of repairs, but not the full cost of replacing the panels.

Still, he didn’t call the construction a failure. “I don’t call it a failed project,� he said. “We have a substantially complete project that’s functioning. But it has issues.�

He added that the apron panel problems have no impact on aircraft safety.

Yukon government considering season-long campsite leases for RVs Maura Forrest News Reporter

T

he Yukon government is considering making some territorial campsites available for season-long leasing to recreational vehicles, which the opposition says will hinder fair and equal access to campgrounds.

The Yukon NDP released an internal document this week that shows the government has been considering different ways of increasing facilities for RV users. “The limited capacity of some existing campgrounds within two to three hours of Whitehorse has created some difficulties for Yukoners to find RV spaces.

Meanwhile campgrounds beyond three hours of Whitehorse are less popular and reportedly underutilized,� according to the document, dated May 12, 2015.

The paper describes four possible solutions. The first is to let RV users lease some sites in campgrounds more than two or three hours from Whitehorse for extended periods, or to build new sites for leasing in those campgrounds.

Potential locations include Johnson Lake, Takhini River and Teslin Lake. The document also lists several services that could be offered to RV users, including sani-stations, water hook-ups, power and Internet access.

NDP MLA Kate White raised the issue in the legislature this week. “The government wants to set aside campsites to lease to a few lucky RV owners for the summer through a lottery process,� she said on Thursday. “Yukon parks are a public asset and, as such, they should be available to all on

Ian Stewart/Yukon News

Some territorial campgrounds could be available for season-long leasing by recreational vehicles. an equal basis.�

White said she is also concerned that leasing RV sites in territorial campgrounds will create unfair competition for private RV parks, and she’s calling for public consultation on the matter.

In the assembly, Resources Minister Scott Kent responded that the idea is being considered simply to attract more people to underused campgrounds further from Whitehorse. “This isn’t about any competition with the private sector,� he said. “It’s not about tying up some of our favourite spots or some of the campgrounds that are busy.�

However, the May 2015 document suggests that granting licences for too long “may put pressure on space availability.�

Another possible disadvantage of the plan, according to the paper, is that leases “may be seen as competition for private RV businesses.�

20% F

White also suggested the government was planning to start leasing campsites to RVs this coming season. She referred to an internal email obtained by the NDP from July 27 that appears to set out a timeline for the project.

In early August, according to the email, a “high level work plan� should be developed “which ends with an ad in the paper in April 2016 and licences in place when the campgrounds open in May.�

But Kent said that’s not the current plan. “This will not be anything that’s considered for next camping season,� he said, adding that the proposal is just a “concept.�

The May 2015 document points out that long-term RV campsite leases exist in other jurisdictions, including British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.

The other three options included in the paper are to partner with First Nations to

develop RV parks on public or First Nation land, to purchase private land that the government would develop into an RV park or to tender land for a private company to develop.

Currently, campers are supposed to limit their stay in any territorial campground to 14 nights in a 30-day period. But this year, conflicts arose at some campgrounds near Whitehorse over people occupying campsites for extended periods, even when they weren’t actually staying at the site every night.

Last month, the government announced it is investing $522,000 in the territory’s campgrounds this fiscal year, in part to add a total of 22 new campsites to the Marsh Lake, Wolf Creek and Twin Lakes campgrounds.

The government is also building a new 35-site campground near Carcross, scheduled to open in May 2016.

Police won’t divulge details about Kopper King incident After warning the public to stay away from the Kopper King area because of a “potentially serious incident� that sent a man to hospital, RCMP now say they don’t believe anything criminal actually happened.

According to police, a resident called 911 Wednesday around noon after going home to find a man on his front yard “who needed urgent medical care.�

EMS was called and the RCMP came too.

While investigating, police put out a public warning to keep away.

Officers directed traffic in the area and canvassed the neighbourhood.

Police released very little about what happened at the time. Now that everything appears to be wrapped up, information is still hard to come by.

Other than saying that reports of a beating are false, police won’t say anything about the man’s injuries or what led them to investigate in the first place. “For privacy reasons, police cannot divulge further information on the injured man or the circumstances surrounding the incident, other than he is still in hospital,� reads an RCMP news release. “This appears to be an isolated incident and police are not looking for any suspects nor are police investigating it as a criminal matter.�

T

he Ross River Dena Council has lost its bid to force the territorial government to consult prior to issuing hunting licences and tags in the Yukon.

In his decision released last week, Yukon Supreme Court Justice Ron Veale agreed that Yukon’s annual issuance of licences and seals has the potential to adversely affect aboriginal title and the right to hunt in the Ross River area.

But he concluded Environment Yukon already satisfied the duty to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate the First Nation.

“There is no doubt that Environment Yukon has made continuing and extensive efforts to consult RRDC about wildlife management in the Ross River area, although the evidence does not establish that this consulta-

tion occurs on a regular and predictive basis,” he ruled.

Declarations from the court need to be used sparingly, the judge said. In this case issuing a court order to consult would not change much, Veale said.

The judge did encourage the two sides to get together more regularly talk things through, even without the official declaration from the court.

“I do want to observe that in my view there would be benefit to convening regular and predictable, i.e. annual consultations with RRDC at the time that Yukon considers its annual hunting regulations,” he said.

“It strikes me that this would be an effective and reliable way of ensuring that RRDC’s claims to title and hunting rights within the Ross River area are recognized.”

The Ross River Dena Council filed the lawsuit last year and it went to court this past August.

The First Nation wanted a court

something special?

The two other men carried homemade weapons – socks filled with something heavy, the court heard. Gilbert did not have a weapon. The man was punched and kicked.

The 12-month sentence was a joint recommendation to the judge from Marcoux and Gilbert’s lawyer Jason Tarnow.

Tarnow said his client is sorry for what happened. Gilbert took advantage of his time in jail, he said, and took courses towards his GED. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

Seven-year-old struck by truck in Granger A seven-year-old child was struck by a truck Wednesday morning in the Granger subdivision.

The collision happened at approximately 8 a.m. at the intersection of Thompson Road

and Wilson Drive, according to Whitehorse RCMP. The 22-year-old driver of the 2000 Dodge Dakota pick-up truck remained on-scene, while bystanders provided first aid to the child until the ambulance arrived. The victim was taken to Whitehorse General Hospital but police are not releasing any more information about their injuries.

The cause of the collision still under investigation, however alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor, police say.

“Whitehorse RCMP in conjunction with Yukon RCMP Traffic Services is continuing their investigation, and is asking anyone who witnessed the collision and have not already spoken with police to please call the Whitehorse RCMP detachment at 867-667-5555,” a police news release says.

order that the government had a duty to consult prior to issuing hunting licences and seals under the Wildlife Act. It wasn’t looking to be consulted on each individual licence in its traditional territory. Instead, it wanted something more overarching at the beginning of the hunting season.

The Yukon government responded to the lawsuit with a 219-page affidavit from the director of the fish and wildlife branch that outlines some of the reports, letters and emails it said shows efforts to work with the First Nation.

The First Nation’s territory covers about 63,000 square kilometres in the north end of the Kaska traditional territory, including the communities of Ross River and Faro.

The First Nation has already won a similar case dealing with the same block of land.

In that case, the court of appeal ruled the Yukon government

needs to consult with unsigned First Nation governments, like Ross River, before a mineral claim is staked on its traditional lands.

New staking has been banned in the area ever since while the government consults and continues to work on updating the regulations.

Veale ruled this case about hunting is different.

In the mineral case the First Nation was being denied the consultations it is entitled to, he said.

“Here, the duty to consult is acknowledged and performed.”

According to Veale’s decision, between 1995 and 2013, an average of 164 moose, 69 caribou and 29 sheep were harvested annually in the Ross River Area.

That represents 24 per cent of the Yukon harvest for moose, 30 per cent for caribou and 12 per cent for sheep.

waiting outside in a running car, Crown prosecutor Eric Marcoux told the court. He was arrested that day.

In April of this year, while at the Whitehorse Correctional Centre, Gilbert and two other men attacked a fourth inmate in their unit’s common area.

The trio had been ordered back to their cells so the fourth inmate could come out and get medication.

The men are not supposed to be out of their cells at the same time, Marcoux said.

Gilbert and the others went to their cells and then, in what judge Peter Chisolm described as a “co-ordinated effort” came out of their cells and attacked the victim.

There was no mention in court of whether the cell doors were left unlocked or if the men managed to somehow jimmy the locks open.

Harvey Jessup

I

t has been a year since my friend, Alex Van Bibber, one of Yukonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most wellknown and legendary pioneers, passed away. I miss him every day.

As unreasonable as it sounds, I wanted to believe Alex would be with us forever. He was pushing 100 years of age, was a lot younger at heart, had an infectious zest for life, was an active trapper and hunter and was always planning for tomorrow. He would bounce back from setbacks that would sideline the rest of us.

In his lifetime, he witnessed changes in technology and participated in events that shaped the territoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent history: gold dredges, cat trains, sternwheelers, snowmobiles, ATVs, bush planes, World War II, building of the Alaska Highway, the Canol Pipeline, establishment of trapline and outfitting areas and land claim settlements. He saw his first train when he was 22 and was hired to guide engineers surveying a proposed railway route through the Tintina Trench.

Stories of the gold rush and the territoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early fur trade were also fresh in his mind.

Alexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Ira Van Bibber, came over the Chilkoot Trail with the thousands of stampeders. Eliza, his mother, lived a traditional Northern Tutchone life along the Yukon/ Pelly Rivers before the influx of gold seekers.

Together they raised 14 children on the family trapline in the McArthur Mountains, all of them taught to be independent, self reliant and bush savvy.

It seems like yesterday Kelly Hougen, a close and dear friend of Alex, called to say he was with Alex in the Foothills Hospital in Calgary. When I caught the next Air North flight I was not surprised to see many of his family also checking in. Grandchildren and great grandchildren all wanted to be with Grandpa-Daddy, hoping they could bring

him home to Champagne.

The morning after our arrival, Alexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctor met with us. He said the hospital had never seen such a display of support for a single patient. Before he would discuss his patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health, he had to hear stories of this man who could generate so much love and respect. For the next half hour he was enthralled with stories of Alexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

Then, news we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear. Alexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health had declined considerably and he had told his doctor he did not want to continue the fight. In the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience such decisions were â&#x20AC;&#x153;medically irreversible.â&#x20AC;? Alex slipped away in the early hours the following morning in company of family.

I am grateful I had the opportunity to spend time with Alex, and his brother Pat, the day before he died, telling stories, remembering adventures, good times and bad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a good life,â&#x20AC;? Alex said.

He used to tell me that we would get dead drunk on his 100th birthday. At one point he looked at me and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we will do that Harvey.â&#x20AC;? But there are often drawbacks to longevity. Alex and his wife Sue, who predeceased him at 99 years of age, outlived nine of their 10 children. In a span of less than two years, Alex lost two daughters, a son and a wife he had known most of his life.

Despite this painful past, or perhaps because of it, his biggest concern was leaving his daughter, Kathleen, alone. He neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have worried. If Alexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s send-off in Calgary is any indication, Kathleen is not alone.

The flight home was more subdued than the one down, everyone lost in their own thoughts about Alex. But once the flight service began, glasses were raised in honour and memory of a man much loved and revered. I think the airline ran out of rye and ginger.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all heard Alex say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are dead enough when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re six feet under; while on top, live it for happiness.â&#x20AC;? He took his own advice, and perhaps the best way for us to pay tribute to Alex is to do the same.

Harvey Jessup knew Alex Van Bibber for more than 40 years. He lives in Whitehorse.

LETTERS Time to get serious about animal abuse Dog abuse, dog neglect and dog killings are the norm in many northern communities.

The Yukon News had already reported on this very issue: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ross Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone to the dogsâ&#x20AC;? (the News, Aug. 2, 2008). Seven years later, the situation has not improved, according to a recent CBC report. Very sad.

People need and deserve protection.

And so do dogs. RCMP should be armed with serious laws that protect dogs, too.

People who create neglected dog issues need to take responsibility for their animals. Why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t people held accountable when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take care of their dogs properly? What has Yukonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Animal Protection Act done to protect dogs and other animals?

The dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; owners are teaching children by example that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to have, use, abandon and kill unwanted animals after the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cuteâ&#x20AC;? puppy stage has passed. This will not instill respect and compassion for animals in these children, who are raised to treat animals as if they are just disposable pieces of property.

Children should be taught that pets are a lifelong commitment to break the cycle of neglect. Community leaders and the RCMP should take a leadership role in the communities and bring about positive change, instead of maintaining the status quo.

People (and all levels of government) need to recognize that all animals are sentient beings. They are not our property, to be mistreated or disposed of at our convenience.

There are responsibilities that come with having animals, such as providing food, water, shelter, exercise, spay/neuteringâ&#x20AC;Ś and compassion.

If people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fulfill their obligations to the animals in their care, they simply do not deserve to have animals.

Alberta, Paris and the Yukon

by Keith Halliday

YUKONOMIST

T

wo out of three ain’t bad, as the old saying goes.

The Alberta NDP’s new carbon tax and climate change plan gets two big things right, but makes one potentially big mistake that could store up plenty of trouble for the future.

The first good thing about the plan is that it taxes all carbon emissions in a transparent way.

Economists have been harping about this for years. Some plans only target big polluters or certain industries, which raises questions of fairness and also lets large swathes of the economy go on with business as usual.

Having a tax embedded in prices clearly seen by businesses and consumers may be annoying, but it’s also a great way to get people to change their behaviour.

The Alberta plan isn’t perfect in this regard, since the politicians couldn’t resist layering a baffling array of new regulations

and subsidies on top of the carbon tax. But at least an economywide carbon tax is the core of the scheme.

The second good thing is that it is a made-in-Alberta solution.

This prevents the federal government from coming up with some kind of national scheme that becomes a back-door way to transfer money from one part of the country to another according to the political needs of the government of the day in Ottawa.

We already have the equalization program to help have-not provinces.

Fixing carbon emissions is hard enough without getting it tangled in intra-provincial wrangling over who should get who else’s money.

The thing the Alberta scheme gets wrong is that it is also a tax grab. Only some of the carbon tax revenue will be used to cut income taxes. B.C.’s carbon tax, on the other hand, is “revenue neutral.” Not only does B.C. report that per capita greenhouse case emissions were down over 10 per cent from 2007, the year before the tax was introduced, to 2013, but B.C. has used the tax revenues to reduce a wide range of business and personal taxes.

This helps attract job-creating investment, improve incentives

to work, and let working people keep more of their wages.

There are several risks from Alberta’s tax-grab approach. One is that higher taxes raise the cost of living and reduce the incentive to invest and work. It’s hard to tell exactly what the long-term impact of higher taxes are, but remember that high-income earners in Alberta will see their marginal income tax rate rise nine points after the combined effect of the new governments in Edmonton and Ottawa. Layering on a tax-grab carbon tax on top of that will pretty much put an end to the “Alberta advantage.”

The bigger risk is that the tax grab gives oxygen to political forces who would rather do nothing about climate change, and there are no shortage of those.

It will be much easier for opposition Wildrose politicians to campaign against a tax grab than a revenue-neutral, B.C.-style carbon tax. Turning climate change into a right-left battle won’t be helpful in the long run.

So what does this mean for the Yukon and our leaders’ upcoming visit to the Paris climate talks?

Paris reminds us that something has to be done about climate change. I find the longterm scenarios terrifying. Rising sea-levels and climate-induced

famines may make the Syrian refugee crisis look small. Within 90 days of Paris, there will be another first ministers meeting to discuss Canada’s plan.

The Yukon needs to do something.

One option is a carbon tax.

If we go that way, it needs to be revenue-neutral. The Yukon government does not have a revenue problem, and our economy needs to be as attractive to investment and workers as possible given our isolated position.

But a seven-cent-per-litre carbon tax is not likely to be enough. B.C.’s carbon tax has been praised by the World Bank and, as noted above, per capita emissions have fallen. However, other factors were at play too.

B.C.’s per capita carbon emissions actually started falling significantly several years before the carbon tax was implemented, due at least in part to big reductions in manufacturing emissions (including the hard-hit pulp and paper sector).

Overall, thanks to population growth, Environment Canada says B.C.’s total carbon emissions were a modest 2.5 per cent lower in 2013 than they were in 2005 (but still 24 per cent above where they were in 1990). This is not enough to save the planet.

the legislative assembly I will be impressed with how the people are listening and how questions are answered.

as part of our commitment to delivering the most reliable service possible to our Northern customers. Despite there being no new revenue opportunities for Northwestel, we have proposed owning, operating and paying for over 70 per cent of the total lifetime cost of the new fibre.

It’s one of many investments Northwestel is making to improve our entire end-to-end network. This year alone, we’ve invested over $43 million in capital infrastructure. These investments have allowed us to double northern broadband capacity, improve last mile service delivery, upgrade rural phone features and increase Internet speeds.

In Whitehorse we can see the results with Internet speeds up to 150 Mbps and 98 new digital TV channels delivered over our network.

We’re making our network faster, bigger and more responsive. We also need to do the hard work to make it more reliable.

Here’s something you probably don’t know. Just this past weekend, the main fibre line that runs from Edmonton into the N.W.T. stopped transmitting data completely. For more than 16 hours, the fibre line went totally dark.

Why didn’t we see a single news story about a business that had to close its doors, or a resident who couldn’t make a cell phone call? Because Northwestel’s southern fibre network runs on a loop. We were able to simply route all traffic the other way

around the loop as repairs were completed.

Its past time the entire northern fibre network benefitted from this same level of protection. Northwestel is ready to do its part. We’ve already begun the next phase of detailed engineering to keep this project on track.

We’re proud to be working with government partners to strengthen our connections in the North for the benefit of all Northerners.

Another option is an attack on fossil-fuel heat. In 2012, Yukoners burned around 139 million litres of fossil fuel, according to Statistics Canada. It’s hard to tell from the report exactly how much of this was for heating, but let’s estimate a fifth to be conservative. That would be about 30 million litres.

A major push to build more renewable electricity generation combined with an effort to switch more homes to electric heat could make a big dent in our carbon emissions. Switching just 15 per cent of Yukon homes and businesses from oil to electrical heat would reduce emissions by a greater proportion than B.C. did from 2005 to 2013.

This approach would also create local Yukon jobs building the renewable energy plants and renovating homes.

The carbon tax and an attack on fossil-fuel heat are both reasonable options to reduce Yukon emissions meaningfully. We might even want to do both.

LETTERS Government MLAs should practise active listening Hello my name is Sofia Lang. I was born and raised in Whitehorse, and I’m 10 turning 11. I recently went to our legislative assembly with our Grade 5 class from Whitehorse Elementary School. I thought it was really interesting and fun.

One of the things I liked the most was watching the ministers and the Opposition debate issues that are in Yukon. I was proud that my question on homelessness was chosen to be asked by the leader of the Opposition party to the minister of health and social services.

I left disappointed for two reasons. 1. My question about homelessness was not answered properly by the minister. The new Salvation Army is not going to fix the issues of homelessness.

My school is right across from the old Salvation Army and I see some of the problems of the people who go there. He did not talk about these bigger problems.

2. Some of the ministers were talking when the Opposition were making their tributes. I think it is very important to actively listen to others who are speaking because I am sure they would not want other people talking when they are speaking.

In my class we always have to actively listen because it is disrespectful if you don’t, and people might think what they have to say is not important.

I hope the next time I go to

Would Northwestel’s planned fibre loop boost Internet reliability? Absolutely It’s amazing to think that a single buried fibre cable, barely one half-inch in diameter but thousands of kilometers long, plays such a big role in connecting northerners to the outside world.

In 2013, this Northwestel fibre cables carried at its peak three gigabits per second of data. By 2015 that had more than doubled to 8 Gbps. By 2017 we expect that to double yet again.

That’s a lot of phone calls and Netflix binges, but also a lot of credit card transactions and hospital X-rays.

As our broadband usage continues its exponential rise, so too does the impact of a fibre cut on our daily lives and our economy.

We know doing nothing is not an option.

That’s why Northwestel put forward a proposal to governments in the North to help us complete a redundant fibre loop that will protect phone, Internet, business and government services in the Yukon, Northwest Territories and in satellite served communities throughout the North.

We put this proposal forward

the end of the year – or even the end of February: it’s too fast to properly screen them for our safety; there’s inadequate time for preparations to house them, let alone accommodate them in our medical, education and employment systems. I agree. It’s a monumental undertaking and there will inevitably be mistakes and hardship.

OTTAWA he Trudeau government unveiled Thursday its plan for transforming the Senate into an independent, nonpartisan chamber â&#x20AC;&#x201C;the first major reform to the scandal-plagued upper house in 50 years and arguably the biggest change since its inception in 1867.

Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef said the government is creating an armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-length advisory board to consult widely and recommend to the prime minister a short list of five merit-based nominees to fill each vacancy in the Senate.

She also released the criteria the advisory board will use to assess potential candidates.

Among other things, they will need to have a record of achievement and public service, show integrity, understand the role of the Senate and demonstrate an ability to contribute to the work of the Senate in an independent and non-partisan manner.

However, past partisan activities will not automatically disqualify someone from being nominated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe this new process will immediately begin to restore the confidence of Canadians in an institution that plays a vital role in our democracy,â&#x20AC;? Monsef said.

The advisory board will consist of three federally appointed members and two ad-hoc members from the province in which each vacancy occurs. Monsef said the members will be named by the end of the year.

Initially, the board will be tasked with recommending nominees to fill five vacancies in the provinces that are currently most under-represented in the Senate: two from Ontario, two from Manitoba and one from Quebec. Those are to be filled by early next year.

Another 17 vacancies are to be

The Senate chamber on Parliament Hill is shown in May 2013. filled by the end of 2016.

Government House leader Dominic LeBlanc said one of the first five new senators will be named as the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative in the Senate. That role, heretofore known as the government leader in the Senate, is necessary under existing Senate rules in order to introduce government bills in the chamber and shepherd them through the legislative process.

All the rules governing the Senate are geared to having a governing party caucus and an opposition party caucus. It will be up to the Senate itself to eventually rewrite its rules to reflect the more non-partisan nature of the chamber envisioned by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, LeBlanc said.

In the meantime, however, Trudeau has appointed Sen. George Furey, a Liberal, to be the new speaker. Furey replaces Conservative Leo Housakos.

Trudeau started the process toward a less partisan Senate two years ago when he removed all senators, including Furey, from the Liberal caucus. They have been sitting as independent Liberals since then.

Trudeau maintains that partisanship has eroded the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intended role as an independent chamber of sober second thought. And at least two Conservative senators seem to agree with him.

Sen. Jacques Demers announced Thursday that he is quitting the Conservative caucus

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the second Tory senator in two weeks to decide to sit as an independent. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s following the lead of Sen. John Wallace.

Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan represents a significant overhaul of the Senate after decades of failed efforts to reform the much maligned chamber. The last major reform was in 1965, when mandatory retirement at age 75 was imposed on senators, who had been given lifetime appointments until then.

Almost from the moment it was created, there have been moves to reform the Senate, including campaigns to transform it into an elected chamber or into a house of the provinces or to abolish it altogether. None have ever managed to achieve a consensus among the provinces.

The beauty of Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, Monsef said, is that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require a constitutional amendment and, hence, no provincial consent is necessary. Provincial governments will be consulted on the provincial members of the advisory board but their participation is not necessary to proceed.

British Columbia Premier Christy Clark announced immediately that her government wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changes do not address whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been wrong with the Senate since the beginning,â&#x20AC;?

Clark said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has never been designed to represent British Columbians or our interests at the national level.â&#x20AC;?

Clark said the Senate should be â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixed or folded.â&#x20AC;?

Manuela Gruber Hersch, president of the Association of Caregiver and Nanny Agencies Canada, has indicated she believes there is a greater issue at play amidst the controversy.

She says there is a shortage of nannies in Canada that became worse when the last government tightened the rules around temporary foreign workers.

Gruber Hersch says the Conservatives basically shut down the foreign nanny program, while many Canadians are not interested in working as caregivers.

It is unclear whether the women working for the Trudeau family originally came to Canada through the temporary foreign worker program.

Purchase has said the nannies are both Canadian citizens who were born outside of the country but have been here for some time.

She has not provided dates.

The Conservative apparatus will also need to deal with the sticky issue of post-election debt.

Although Elections Canada will be sending millions of dollars in rebates to parties for money spent during the election, raising funds after a loss and under an interim leader is not easy.

Meanwhile, Rona Ambrose has the task of having to rebuild from scratch a leader’s office that was virtually deserted after the federal election as the people around Harper scattered.

Veteran Parliament Hill hand Garry Keller was appointed her chief of staff and Ambrose has also selected a shadow cabinet with ample experience in the Commons, including potential leadership candidates such as Lisa Raitt, Tony Clement and Michelle Rempel.

Still, many Conservative staffers have no experience in opposition, and they will have to get used to doing their own research on policy, writing speeches for the Commons and digging up dirt on the government – often by using the access to information system that they often tried to hobble while in power.

Former cabinet minister Chuck Strahl, who left federal politics in 2011, has been recruited to help train rookie MPs. Ambrose’s first hurdle, winning the interim leadership, may turn out to the easiest part.

the international coalition must strike at the core of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq and strangle its efforts to set up networks elsewhere.

“I called on every NATO ally to step up its fight against Daesh,” Kerry said, using the Arabic reference for the Islamic State.

“I was very gratified that a number of allies are already bringing more to this battle – or

are planning to increase their contributions.”

He praised British Prime Minister David Cameron, whose Parliament is poised to vote on expanding airstrikes into Syria and Germany, which plans to deploy ships and surveillance aircraft to support operations against ISIL. “It’s a very important step, we applaud his leadership on

it,” he said. “It is important for the world to join together in this initiative and we welcome Germany’s efforts.”

Although he didn’t reference the Canadian combat withdrawal, Kerry did give the Liberal government an opening by saying that there are a number of countries willing to step up and the contributions don’t necessarily “have to be troops engaged in kinetic action.”

Kerry said the U.S. has specifically asked for special forces instructors, police trainers and so-called “enablers,” such as transport and medical facilities.

As a further reminder that Washington isn’t prepared to let allies off the hook, he said the U.S. government will follow up with each country on a militaryto-military basis as well as a diplomatic basis “in order to secure additional help.”

On his way into the meeting Tuesday, Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion struck a similar tone, saying Canada can withdraw its CF-18s and do more than just simply providing two per cent of the air strikes.

Trudeau promised a beefedup mission to train local forces in Iraq, over and above the existing 69 special forces instructors working the Kurdish peshmerga in the north of the country. The government has yet to provide details on what the mission would look like.

Also Wednesday, NATO foreign ministers formally invited the tiny Adriatic nation of Montenegro to join the alliance, despite opposition from Moscow. There was also discussion about fully reactivating the NATO-Russia Council, which, prior to the annexation of Crimea, had been a forum for dialogue between the former Cold War adversaries.

“I will now explore how we can use the council as a tool for political engagement,” SecretaryGeneral Jens Stoltenberg said, noting that the recent downing of a Russian fighter jet by Turkey along with other border incidents makes dialogue important.

He insisted it is not a sign of weakening resolve in the face of the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine and for the moment the embattled country’s foreign minister seemed prepared to accept the shifting position.

Pavlo Klimkin, Ukraine’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, said he was for the moment satisfied that it “would not be a return to business as unusual.”

Yukoner’s work in Haiti draws governor general’s attention Myles Dolphin News Reporter

A

n old soul can be described as someone who is mature beyond his or her years, has a philosophical outlook on life and a high level of empathy for others.

Morgan Wienberg fits the bill perfectly.

The 23-year-old from Whitehorse speaks about the work she’s accomplished in Haiti over the past four years with the eloquence and verve of someone much older.

Her success with Little Footprints, Big Steps recently caught the attention of high-ranking officials in Ottawa.

The organization helps reunite Haitian street kids with their families, get an education and build a life for themselves.

Wienberg became the first Yukoner to receive the Meritorious Service Cross award, which recognizes “outstanding achievement that set an example for others to follow and bring benefit to our country.”

She stopped by the News this week to talk about how far both she and the organization she runs have come.

It was Wienberg’s first time back in Whitehorse since 2013, she said.

“It’s so rejuvenating to come back here, sometimes I get a bit isolated and I forget how supportive people are,” she said.

“So much has happened in the past year, so much progress.

I’m much more confident and comfortable with myself, and more professional.”

Wienberg remembers a time when she’d stretch herself too thin, trying to accomplish too much at once.

She couldn’t even take a day off to go to the hospital if she needed to.

“Now I recognize myself as a person and it’s allowed me to become a lot healthier,” she added.

“It has made my productivity with the organization a lot more positive. I’m able to see the big picture.”

Now, she has 12 employees who are collaborating with local authorities and helping her develop new programs to help more people in the disaster-ridden country.

One of those programs focuses on preventing sexual abuse against young children.

As part of a larger working group for child protection, Little Footprints, Big Steps has helped organize nine training sessions in different communities.

The aim is to change people’s mentality and educate them

about how to react to cases of domestic violence and sexual abuse, Wienberg said.

Staff members have also grown as people, as they’ve been embracing their new responsibilities, she added.

It took a few years for Wienberg to gain enough credibility in Haiti.

At first, locals were skeptical and critical of her intentions.

with anyone, Wienberg said.

People called him crazy, so he embraced it. He’d make animal noises and run around barefoot.

It took months but ultimately Wienberg created a bond with the young boy.

Ysaac had a large tumour on his cheek, which required surgery.

The pair traveled to Miami, twice, to have it removed.

The crew has been shooting footage for “Morgan’s Kids” for the past few years, making several visits to Haiti and Miami.

In the United States they captured Ysaac’s first time in a restaurant, at a zoo and in an elevator, Wienberg said.

In Whitehorse, she took them to her former school, F.H. Collins, and places where she used to work, including the Alpine

Morgan Wienberg speaks at a community outreach event in Haiti. Canadian Governor General David Johnston awarded Weinberg the Meritorious Service Cross for her work with street kids in Haiti “There was no proof of my vision and everyone in the community said the street kids wouldn’t change,” she said.

“Even the kids didn’t believe it.

But they just really needed to be shown affection and trust.”

These days, Haitians approach her in the street to congratulate her on her work, she said.

One of Wienberg’s favourite success stories is about a 16-year-old named Ysaac.

They met in 2012, when she started a safe house for street kids in Les Cayes.

Ysaac’s mother died when he was nine and he spent the following three years on his own.

He got to a point where he wouldn’t have a conversation

It’s a story she told Whitehorse students this week as she made the rounds of elementary and secondary schools.

“Now that Ysaac is in school he’s the top of his class,” Wienberg said proudly.

“We took him to see a psychologist in Miami last year, who told me that between those two visits, Ysaac had gained about five years of emotional maturity.

“I tell students now that anyone can make an impact on another person. You don’t have to be rich or have a university degree.”

In between visits to schools this week, Wienberg has also been showing off her hometown to documentary filmmakers.

Bakery.

While she doesn’t feel completely “in her element” in front of the camera, she believes it’s an important film and she’s happy to have special memories captured on film.

The filmmakers hope to finish Morgan’s Kids in 2016.

Wienberg will be back in Whitehorse on Feb. 13 to give a presentation at a gala fundraising event, “Sharing the love,” at the Whitehorse Convention Centre.

People can learn more about the organization and how they can support it at www.littlefootprintsbigsteps.com.

7:00â&#x20AC;&#x201C;8:00 PM Sport Yukon Boardroom Special resolution on updating the By-Laws.

To review the proposed by-laws go to www.yukoncycling.ca

the way they were done before may not succeed,â&#x20AC;? Pasic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been disrupters in their industries, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to be disrupters in some of their philanthropic work.â&#x20AC;?

Pasic drew another parallel between the two Gilded Ages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in both eras, he said, income inequality was a glaring reality that seemed to accentuate the power and responsibilities of the super-rich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recognition that they should work to fix some of those problems,â&#x20AC;? Pasic said.

Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, detailed their pledge on Tuesday, promising to commit 99 per cent of their Facebook stockholdings to fighting disease, improving education and other causes. Their new organization will pursue its goals through a mix of charitable donations, private investment and promotion of government-policy reform.

According to Facebook, the new initiative will be organized as a limited liability company, rather than as a non-profit foundation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; potentially giving it leeway to do political lobbying. To some experts on philanthropy, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an area of concern as the new generation of mega-donors seeks to maximize their influence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little scary,â&#x20AC;? said Kathleen McCarthy, director of the Center for the Study of Philanthropy at the City University of New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With sums of that size, where should we draw the line?â&#x20AC;? she asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What role should the

uber-rich have in shaping public policies and public opinion?â&#x20AC;?

She noted that Virgin Group founder Richard Branson and some other contemporary philanthropists are eager to invest in entrepreneurs and for-profit companies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a trend which she said could blur the boundaries between business and philanthropy.

In the U.S., the funds that do go to nonprofits are generally accompanied by significant tax benefits. In effect, said professor Ray Madoff of Boston College Law School, this means that the largescale donors are able to tackle charitable initiatives under their own name with funds that might otherwise have financed government programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Person X very generous,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Madoff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment is actually subsidized up to 60 per cent by the rest of us, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a significant public investment in this.â&#x20AC;?

Another consequence, Madoff said, is a relatively smaller share of charitable gifts in the U.S. going to traditional charities such as United Way and the American Red Cross. The biggest gainers, she said, have been donor-advised funds, which enable donors to make a charitable contribution, immediately receive a tax benefit, and then recommend grants from the fund at any time thereafter.

This trend has roused some concerns related to the fact that large sums of money sit idle in the fundsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accounts for years at a

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking

time, rather than going to immediate charitable use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they make the gift directly to the charity, to address a particular need now?â&#x20AC;? asked Dwight Burlingame, a professor at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.

Pasic, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dean, said it will be interesting to see how the overall non-profit sector in the U.S. fares as the new-generation philanthropists expand their reach. He noted that most other countries have less robust charitable sectors than the U.S. and rely more on government funding to support the arts, social services and other causes.

In China, he said, the new wave of billionaires â&#x20AC;&#x153;have nowhere to put their money. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a non-profit ecosystem that deals with issues like hunger and homelessness.â&#x20AC;?

While the Giving Pledge has attracted 138 signatures, there remain many billionaires whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made no such public commitments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the people who signed it were already givers,â&#x20AC;? said Stacy Palmer, editor of the Chronicle of Philanthropy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at the Fortune 400 list, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of people to go, a lot more money.â&#x20AC;?

Zuckerberg and Chan, in announcing their pledge, said potential donors â&#x20AC;&#x153;should not wait to give back.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our giving is just starting and we commit to being active learners, listeners and participants for years to come,â&#x20AC;? they wrote.

Internet service to Stewart.â&#x20AC;?

B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Technology Ministry said a new Internet service provider has a plan to re-connect the town by the end of the week.

But the mayor said it could take much longer and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping

the town will be back online before Christmas.

The ministry noted that any residents using telephone or satellite Internet were unaffected.

In September, the province promised to invest $10 million to

expand high-speed Internet to British Columbians in more than 70 rural and remote communities.

The district of Stewart has not applied for a grant, the ministry said.

Shakespeare is back in town

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Nicole Bauberger and Sarah Ott perform in the Guild Hall’s production of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The play runs until Dec. 12.

Keith Halliday Special to the News

W

ill Shakespeare is back in town and kicking off the Christmas season with an entertaining new production of Twelfth Night at the Guild.

Twelfth Night has been a crowd pleaser since 1602. You can have a lot of fun with identical twins, cross-dressing love triangles and viciously hilarious pranks.

Everyone who speaks English enjoys a piece of Shakespeare’s legacy. It’s something we all share. I was reminded how many phrases that we routinely use were first uttered by the Bard’s characters. Twelfth Night also has some rarer gems, such as when the court jester Feste (Nicole Bauberger) remarks that “Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.”

Eric Epstein directs the Guild’s version of the classic and

has freshened the staging with some Yukon colour. Instead of tights and swords, expect mobile phones, community radio and characters dressed in a uniquely Yukon mix of lumbersexual and bush party fashion.

Yes, that means Shakespeare with plaid shirts.

I was skeptical when I first saw it, but soon realized that if Sir Toby Belch (Brendan Wiklund) lived in Whitehorse he would, of course, wear an AC/ DC shirt and a jean vest.

And the hipster beards on members of the cast will also remind you that Whitehorse loves elaborate facial hair as much as Elizabethan England did. Sir Walter Raleigh would feel at home at the Woodcutter’s Blanket.

Some of the lines have also been cleverly localized. Clownish Sir Andrew (Isidro Rodriguez) exclaims at one point that he would “rather be a pharmacist than a politician.” This is exactly the kind of joke that was

always getting Shakespeare in trouble with the royal censors back in the day. (The original line from 1602 refers to “Brownists,” whoever they were.)

Sir Toby and Sir Andrew play well together as comedic clowns in classic Shakespearean fashion, providing comic relief as the love-triangle-with-separatedtwins goes through its crossdressing progress. They both deliver some very fine lines and grow on you as the scenes pass.

Their performance during the cruel prank on Malvolio (Kevin Kennedy) is superb, as is the way Kennedy moves from besotted lover to confused prisoner to wrathful victim.

Viola, or Cesario as she is known when she’s wearing a lumberjack shirt, is played by Krisandra Reid. Reid puts in a strong performance in this key role, which holds the triangle together. Duke Orsino is played

by Logan Larkin, who brings a commanding stage presence to the role - exactly what we need

from a duke.

Countess Olivia is played elegantly by Sarah Ott. Watch for the part where she figures out she married the plaid-shirted twin who just met her rather than the one she fell in love with.

Clair Mooney plays Viola’s twin, Sebastian. In a reversal of how they did things in Shakespeare’s time, she is a woman playing a man’s role. Mooney rises to the challenges of this role, which include acting out a budding bromance with the pirate and duelling with Sir Andrew.

Despite being a comedy, or perhaps because of it, the play provides plenty of themes to talk about afterwards. The gender-bending roles and love interests can seem remarkably contemporary for a play written more than four centuries ago.

The prank on Malvolio is worth bringing up in your next antibullying workshop.

The theme of friendship

comes up repeatedly. The pirate and Sebastian provide one example, while Sir Toby and Sir Andrew another. The latter seem to be hard-partying pals, but you soon get the idea that one of the friends is more sincere than the other (hint: it’s not the guy paying for the drinks).

A bonus feature of the show is the presence of Nicole Bauberger. In addition to playing the fool Feste with the spirit and energy this key role demands, you can see her ravens painted on the set. During the interval, check out her Twelfth Night-themed raven sketches by the bar.

The show is playing until Dec. 12, so you still have time to get tickets. Who knows when Will’s next visit to the Yukon will be.

Silverman has dabbled in drama for years, with supporting roles in Sarah Polleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Take This Waltz and more recently on the cable series Masters of Sex, in which she plays one half of a lesbian couple trying to conceive.

Those projects seem like a walk in the park when held up to the bleak I Smile Back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relentless, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no relief,â&#x20AC;? Silverman conceded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even Precious had moments of relief.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all comics, and a lot of actors, have a bag of tricks that they reach into as a crutch, without even realizing it. So that was really helpful, that kind of restraint.â&#x20AC;?

Reflecting on the role, Silverman admits it was a draining experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just thought it would be fun, that it would just be heavy between â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Action!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cut!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;&#x153; she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of your emotions are on the surface, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just kind of holding them while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re setting up the next shot.â&#x20AC;?

When the film â&#x20AC;&#x201C; based on Amy Koppelmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2008 book â&#x20AC;&#x201C; went into production, Silverman realized just how difficult it would be to portray serious depression with legitimacy.

Silverman got some help from director Adam Salky and the writers, who encouraged her to downplay her most recognizable traits, like her trademark sly smirk and goofy body movement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(They) were very good at making me aware of any time I delved subconsciously into my bag of tricks,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Marijuana plants grow at LifeLine Labs in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, on June 17. because it already has an excellent system for distributing and selling alcohol.

“Creating a new parallel system for the sale of non-medical marijuana will be incredibly costly, time consuming and would divert money from social programs, education and addiction treatment into an additional bureaucracy,” she said.

Damian Kettlewell of the private liquor association – made up of more than 200 private liquor stores in the province – said they envision a system that is similar to beer and wine industries.

Producers of all sizes would sell their product to a central wholesaler at the liquor distribution branch, which would then distribute it to stores.

Kettlewell stressed that the groups only want to sell recreational pot, not medical marijuana, so they don’t expect their proposal to impact existing medical dispensaries.

He also said the federal gov-

ernment should follow in the footsteps of American states that have allowed residents to grow small amounts of marijuana at home for personal use – similar to home brewing.

“The tax revenue from marijuana could fund a host of programs, from addiction recovery, prevention programs aimed at youth, education about the dangers of impaired driving, to more general programs like health and education,” he said.

The details of tax rates and program spending are for the federal and provincial governments to decide, he added.

It’s not clear yet which level of government would give the goahead to sell marijuana in liquor stores. Smith said she believes that when the federal government legalizes the drug, it will fall under provincial jurisdiction, similar to alcohol.

Municipalities also exert control over land use and zoning, and Kettlewell said the unions

support the right of communities to decide against allowing pot to be sold locally.

B.C.’s Justice Ministry said in a statement that it’s too early to speculate on the specifics of any future legislation or its implementation.

“Marijuana control is a federal responsibility and B.C. will continue to monitor and would participate in any consultation the government of Canada may conduct around proposed changes,” the statement said.

The federal Justice Department also said it was premature to comment on specifics.

Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger has said government liquor stores are the best place to sell marijuana when the federal government legalizes the drug.

The president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, Warren (Smokey) Thomas, has also called for legal pot to be sold in provincial liquor stores.

UN climate talks offer hope for humanity

by David Suzuki

SCIENCE

MATTERS

W

ith world leaders now meeting in Paris for the UN Climate Change Conference, we’re seeing signs of hope for an agreement to limit the escalating effects of global warming. Canadians, especially, have reason to be optimistic about our country’s role.

It hasn’t always been this way.

Governments have been formally discussing climate change since the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the first climate conference in Berlin, Germany, in 1995. Since then, we’ve been taking two steps forward and one step back – not good enough when dealing with an accelerating crisis.

Canada signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1998, ratified it in 2002, did little to meet its targets, then withdrew in late 2011, the first and only nation to do so. The Climate Action Network selected our country for numerous Fossil

of the Day, Fossil of the Year and Lifetime Unachievement Fossil awards for inaction on climate change and for obstructing international agreements.

But it appears leaders in Canada and globally are finally giving the issue the attention it deserves.

Our government now has a minister of environment and climate change, and sent a delegation to Paris that includes a cabinet committee on environment, climate change and energy headed by Foreign Minister Stéphane Dion, as well as opposition party representatives and provincial leaders.

Alberta, which has long put fossil-fuel interests ahead of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, now has a comprehensive strategy to phase out coal power, promote renewable energy, put a price on carbon pollution and limit oilsands emissions. Ontario and Quebec have also moved to put a price on carbon emissions, joining California in a cap-andtrade system. Even Saskatchewan, not known for climate leadership, has committed to 50 per cent renewable energy by 2030.

Phasing out coal power and putting a price on carbon are effective ways to reduce dangerous CO2 emissions. Burning coal is the most polluting way to produce energy and creates the high-

est greenhouse gas emissions, and a well-designed carbon tax or cap-and-trade system has proven to cut emissions and fossil-fuel consumption without negatively affecting economies.

In its first five years, B.C.’s carbon tax, implemented in 2008, led to a 17.4 per cent drop in petroleum-fuel use, and greenhouse gas emissions went down while GDP remained strong. B.C. income tax rates remain the lowest in Canada.

Globally, things are also looking up. The Paris conference required the 196 participating countries to submit their own climate plans. Although those combined aren’t enough to keep us below the 2 C increase in global average temperatures beyond pre-industrial levels that scientists say is necessary to avoid catastrophe, they do limit warming to a 2.7 C rise, which is at least a serious starting point.

Current practices put us on track for a 5 C increase!

The Paris conference is also aiming for national climate plan reviews every five years to ensure targets are being met and to look at ways of improving them. And cities, local governments and businesses are being encouraged to do more, which has worked well in Canada.

Another important component of the Paris talks is to find ways to help developing nations improve prosperity while keeping emissions from rising. Developed countries have committed to raising $100 billion a year by 2020 to help developing nations though the Green Climate Fund, World Bank, government contributions and other mechanisms.

But government commitments only raise hopes so far.

The other good sign is the rapid development of renewable energy technologies like wind, solar and geothermal. Coupled with energy conservation, renewables are critical to confronting the climate crisis.

A recent report from Stanford University and the International Renewable Energy Agency found it’s technically feasible and economically viable for the world to shift to sustainable energy by 2030, and lays out a plan for 139 countries to reach that goal.

Many jurisdictions are already getting a lot of their energy from renewable sources.

With clean energy production and grid technology improving and costs coming down, there’s no excuse to continue rapidly burning diminishing supplies of fossil fuels. As leaders meet in Paris, citizens march in the streets and innovators develop solutions, we have more reason than ever to be hopeful for the future of our place on this small, blue planet.

A migratory house for villages on the move for a rural Alaska superinsulated home, I’d be happy with that,” he said.

If the house were a success, it would be a nice fit for communities on changing ground.

“More and more my job is taking me to places like Newtok,” Cooke said. “At the community meeting, there’s always an old-timer who says if this would have happened in the old days, we wouldn’t have meeting, we’d just go.”

The demonstration house on skis is designed to help people react a bit quicker to changes, such as thawing permafrost and eroding coastlines.

“We don’t want to kid ourselves and say how the land is now is how it will stay,” Cooke said. “Things seem to be changing faster than they used to.”

s a river eats its way into Newtok, Alaska, residents are planning their moves to a new village site 12 miles away.

One family will move into a house on skis with the ability to migrate as needed with self-contained water and electrical systems.

In his dozen visits to Newtok, a village of about 354 people 100 miles west of Bethel, Aaron Cooke has seen why the villagers have voted to move.

“In the seven or eight years I’ve been visiting there, I’ve seen football fields that have fallen away,” said Cooke, an architect for the Cold Climate Housing Research Center in Fairbanks.

The Ninglick River claims an average of 57 linear feet of Newtok’s land each year. If that loss continues, houses will fall into the water as soon as two years from now.

That prompted a call from a member of the Newtok Village Council to Cooke, who had worked on prototype energy-efficient housing for another village in the Kuskokwim River Delta. The people in Newtok had heard of his research center’s project in Atmautluak and wondered if he could design a similar one to be transported to their new village site. They had funding from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and they needed a house in less than one year.

Cooke said yes and got to work. He drew up a house with an adjustable foundation that rests on three long steel skis. The house has its own electrical systems that operate in concert with a generator and batteries. There is also a mini water-treatment facility inside.

“The concept isn’t new by any stretch – think of a hunting or icefishing shack,” he said. “We’re taking a concept that’s pretty simple

Thirty-one Alaska villages are “imminently threatened” by erosion problems, according to reports to Congress from the General Accounting Office in 2003 and 2009. Newtok was one of the five that most needed to move or undergo expensive protection measures.

Cooke’s demonstration house is not yet built. It is now in pieces under cold tarps at the new village site called Mertarvik. Mertarvik is upstream from Newtok on the Ninglick River. No one lives at Mertarvik yet, but the site has a road, barge landing and a few conventional homes built by U.S. Marines during a training exercise.

Cooke wanted to start building the house this fall, but the barge serving the area was two months late in delivering his trusses and other building materials. He and local carpenters – including someone who will live in the house – will start building his prototype

near the barge landing after the ice breaks up next spring.

If everything goes well, a tractor operator will tow the house from the barge landing up the hill to a gravel pad. There, the crew will set it in place and level it using threaded pipe built into the foundation.

If the house functions, more could be built. The new village will need 64 additional homes. Some will be moved from the old village, but there will be need for more.

As Cooke watches his design become reality for seven weeks next spring, he’ll think of how he can trim costs. Without counting the labor to assemble it, his house costs about $120,000 in materials.

Next spring, he will see how much labor it takes.

Throwback Thursday event at MacBride a big success

by Michael Gates

HISTORY

HUNTER

T

here was an excellent turnout at the MacBride Museum last Thursday night. In fact, it is a good thing that the museum decided to take the wall out where they once had a small meeting room beside the lobby, as about 135 people attended. They sold out the supply of books that they had for the event, and had to bring in more copies to meet the demand.

Before and after the evening’s program, Pat Ellis was busily signing copies of the book for enthusiastic readers.

Last week I wrote a review of the new book by Ellis and friends titled The Squatters of Downtown Whitehorse. The book is currently sold out, but I have been assured that more copies will be available in time for Christmas.

Keith Halliday presided over the evening event, starting with a brief presentation of slides showing what Whiskey Flats looked like

before it was lost to the inexorable push of progress during the 1960s.

When asked by a member of the audience why the area of Rotary Park and the SS Klondike was named “Whiskey Flats,” Halliday responded tongue- in-cheek that there were no mountains nearby and that it was flat. This elicited a laugh from the audience that broke the ice.

To further answer the question, he referred to page 16 of the new book, which offered an explanation. Artist Jim Robb added that the area near Rotary Park was known as “Whiskey Flats,” while the area near the SS Klondike was known as “Homebrew Flats.” Further details were added to the naming later in the program.

Pat Ellis was the first person invited to step forward to speak. She is well known for her previous contributions to the remembering the post-war era. Her previous work include the books Yukon Sketchbook (1992), The Canol Adventures (2008), and The Survivors (2011), and articles periodically published in local newspapers.

Overwhelmed by the turnout, Ellis took only a few minutes to thank the Yukon Foundation for its financial support, to Leighann Chalykoff, of the MacBride Museum, who designed the layout for her book, and the various friends who

Ione Christiansen spoke first.

She lived briefly in Whiskey Flats for two months in 1949, while she and her parents were waiting to move into the home they had purchased in town. Wearing an “I Love Whiskey Flats” T-shirt, she recalled how the city seemed to turn its back on the waterfront after the sternwheel river boats were beached for the last time.

She remembered how different life was then: no electricity or water. Toilets were the outdoor variety, or tiny chemical affairs that were visited regularly by the honey wagon. They heated with wood, and washed their clothes by hand and hung them out to dry. Most didn’t have cars, so they walked where they needed to go.

Christiansen also noted that

there was no property tax, and no light or fuel bills. You were your own master, but had to work hard for it. Nobody could afford big holidays; perhaps a trip to Marsh Lake. And your neighbours were also your friends.

Halliday inserted a reading from the new book, written by Bucky Koebke. In it Koebke referred to their next-door neighbours, Mr. and Mrs. L. who made and sold home brew. The Mounties would raid the place and throw Mr. L into jail, which he preferred over paying a fine. Meanwhile, Mrs. L. would cook up another batch of home brew while she waited!

Donna Clayson remembers that when she moved to Whitehorse from Haines Junction as a young girl, she wanted to live in Moccasin Flats. She thought the people were simply wonderful, down-to-earth and welcoming. When she brought her new husband to Whitehorse in 1983, she could hardly wait to show him Moccasin Flats. “That was where I felt more comfortable,” she said.

Jim Robb spent a lot of time sketching the people of Whiskey Flats and Sleepy Hollow in the 1950s and 1960s. He remembered Henry Charlie’s rabbit stew, and once wanting to sketch one little girl, who was cute as a button, but she refused to pose for less than 50 bubble gums and some nail polish!

He was not interested in suburban Riverdale; instead, he found the inspiration for his exaggerated style in the quaint cluster of cabins on the river bank in Whitehorse, and the leaning buildings of Dawson City.

Bonnie Fordyce spent 10 years of her childhood living in Whiskey Flats. When their landlord passed away, he left them the house, and they eventually moved it to Jarvis Street. Instead of relating her memories, she read a poem written about Whiskey Flats by her sister, who now lives in Haines Junction.

Con Lattin moved to Whitehorse in 1952. When they arrived, he and his wife walked around Whitehorse. Seeing Whiskey Flats, she asked: “who would want to live there?” Con added that “on Monday morning, we got the truck from Taylor and Drury, and we drove her down to her new home (in Whiskey Flats).” Later, when he was hired by the army, and was provided with a home in Takhini, he said, she didn’t want to leave.

Caroline Oblak remembered that when she first came to Whitehorse, she and her husband Frank lived in North Whiskey Flats for five years. She could only speak Slovenian; since their neighbour was Ukranian, she learned Ukranian before learning English. She raised three children there, and kept fit lugging pails of water from the river.

Halliday concluded by showing pictures from the Joy Ruttle collection. One of these depicted the early winter flood in 1961, when the water froze right up to the front door of her Sleepy Hollow home.

Whitehorse went through terrific growing pains after the Second World War, and it took a long time for the community to catch up.

Meanwhile, the squatter areas provided convenient and inexpensive housing for a third of the downtown population. Many of these people still live in the community, and many of them turned out for the presentation on Thursday night.

Pat Ellis was very humble about her new book, but she did a great deed in capturing glimpses of life from early post-war period. I enjoyed hearing the stories shared by other former residents of the squatters’ districts in Whitehorse.

Yukon’s largest lake gets a thorough biophysical

by Erling Friis-Baastad

YOUR YUKON

W

hen University of Alberta graduate student Ellorie McKnight began working on her biology master’s thesis project, her primary research focus was: “How are large northern lakes being affected by climate change?” She planned to use Kluane Lake as her model system.

“That was the original question,” says McKnight, who embarked on her master’s quest a year and a half ago. She soon realized that there was little, and sometimes no, historical data on water characteristics she most wanted to investigate – temperature, conductivity (the ability of water to dissolve and transport salt and other solids), nutrient levels, and primary productivity (the ability to support life at the bottom of the food chain, e.g., algae).

McKnight does have access to some lake temperature data from the summers of 1982 and 1983, and some water chemistry data for point locations throughout the lake for summers when Yukon Environment has conducted fish surveys at Kluane, she says. “But it’s tricky when you have data from 1983 and 2015 with very little data between these years. You can’t determine a trend with two points in time.”

In order to answer the most pressing questions about any changing water conditions, McKnight realized she would have to “take a step backwards” and initiate a comprehensive baseline study. “‘Baseline study’ may not sound very significant at first,” she says, “but monitoring lake changes over time and over space is not possible without baseline data.” And, she says, such a study can be very interesting in and of itself.

Why then is there a shortage of such data on Kluane Lake and on the big lakes of the Far North in general?

It’s not that scientists in the Kluane area haven’t been hard at work, and not that local residents haven’t been generous with their knowledge and skills, McKnight stresses. Researchers around Kluane have been diligently studying the effects of changing climate on permafrost, glaciers, communities, vegetation, wildlife… and the list goes ever on.

But the big lakes, despite being sources of food and potable water, and despite their effects on local climates and their

Lance Goodwin/Yukon News

Ellorie McKnight prepares to deploy a CastAway CTD – an instrument that measures water conductivity, temperature and depth – in Kluane Lake. essential role in maintaining biodiversity, have been neglected. Logistical issues are a major reason for that, says McKnight.

Most northern lakes are isolated in rugged country and costly to reach.

The local conditions are often harsh. Arctic cold, wind and snow dominate the surroundings for much of the year. Meanwhile, lakes must be visited frequently to establish detailed, effective water-parameter baselines over time.

Large water bodies can be very sensitive to change – slight changes in various water characteristics could have large impacts on both the aquatic and neighbouring terrestrial environment.

McKnight departed Edmonton for Kluane Lake in February.

She was based at the Kluane Lake Research Station and at the communities of Burwash and Destruction Bay, depending on study-site locations.

“Typically, we’d load up the snow machine and a sled. We’d carry an ice auger and safety and science equipment,” she says.

That equipment included sondes – probes designed to test for such characteristics as oxygen, conductivity and temperature at different water levels.

The researchers targeted 20 sites on the lake. When they reached prearranged GPS coordinates, they’d auger a hole and lower their probes almost to the bottom of the lake.

“We’d pull them up slowly – recording data throughout the water column,” McKnight says.

“We’d measure ice thickness and collect water samples.”

During the months when the water was ice free, the work

would be much the same, but undertaken from a boat.

Ice-pressure ridges are dangerous obstacles for snowmachine travel, she says. And in warmer months, katabatic (downsloping) winds coming off the St-Elias ice fields can create nearly oceanic waves. Researchers must live beside the lake during all four seasons to be on hand when conditions allow for safe travel on the water and ice.

McKnight makes good use of her shore-bound time by getting to know the locals and listening to their advice and stories.

And Kluane Lake is certainly a repository of fascinating stories.

In one famous instance, in the 1700s the Kaskawulsh glacier advanced and blocked the southern outflow of the lake. Currents reversed. Water rose. Yukon River chum salmon began to make their way into the lake via the Kluane River – as they still do.

“Kluane is like three lakes in one,” says McKnight, referring to its Y- shape – its two northern arms and one southern arm.

Temperatures in the arms can vary greatly. In mid-summer last year, it was eight degrees at lake surface on the south end and 16 degrees at lake surface in the north end, she says.

Exchanging information with people in the communities is an enjoyable priority, she stresses.

And locals, experts on water and ice travel, operate the boat and snow machines and help McKnight with her research chores.

The Yukon home of

“Community members are tons of help,” she says.

Hopefully, the baseline will identify key monitoring sites

which can be revisited regularly over coming years. Perhaps monitoring can be done by community members themselves, she adds.

Meanwhile, other academic researchers are looking into mercury levels in Kluane Lake and exchanging anecdotes and data with McKnight. See Your Yukon for Nov. 6: Mercury and the North’s lake-bottom line.

The comprehensive baseline data from Kluane Lake may someday be compared with the discoveries made by scientists working on other, far-distant northern lakes, she says. For instance, a university team is probing Ellesmere Island’s Lake Hazen, the largest lake entirely north of the Arctic Circle.

Historically, Hazen was often covered by ice year-round, but is now opening during summer There are plenty of complex lake systems like Kluane and Hazen to keep graduate students busy for the foreseeable future.

“When it comes to lakes and climate change, there are a million questions,” says McKnight.

B

lock City became Winner Town on Wednesday.

The yellow squad, Block City, downed the top-ranked All The Sets Are Off in the final of Volleyball Yukon’s adult fall league at Porter Creek Secondary School.

The team improved throughout the eight-week season and they avoided lackadaisical play in the final for the win, said captain Hannah Milner.

“Every Wednesday it’s been going on, we got so much better throughout the way, and it definitely showed in our last game,” she said.

“We really pulled it together and weren’t lazy. That was our code word: let’s not be lazy and work our butts off and do this. We really pulled through in the end.”

Block City beat All The Sets Are Off – who placed first in the regular season – 26-24, 25-22 in the final.

They took the first set with three straight points on the serve of D’Arcy Hill.

Block City later took a 22-18 lead in the second on an ace from Hilary Seymour. Teammate Heather Julsrud then produced a cross-court kill for 23-20. Block City moved to match point on a big dig by Julsrud that found a gap in All The Sets Are Off’s defence. Julsrud then capped it off with another kill for the title.

Other Block City players included Nathan Thomson and Galen Clarke.

That’s What She Set defeated Dig City 25-22, 25-18 to take third in the league.

Reburg beat Spike Town for fifth while Notorious D.I.G. topped No Dig’gity for seventh.

The league uses a co-ed reverse fours format that requires two females from each team on the court during play. Male players can only spike from behind the attack line and can’t block females. It is also played with the net set in between female and male height.

Volleyball Yukon will next host the Pepsi Frostbite Tournament on Jan. 2. It will feature regular six-on-six play with both men and women divisions.

fter failing to reach the playoffs in their first three outings on the World Curling Tour this season, Team Scoffin has made the finals in their last two.

The Albertan rink, led by skip Thomas Scoffin of Whitehorse, reached the final of the 2015 Dawson Creek Cash Spiel over the weekend in Dawson Creek, B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was another good team weekend for us,â&#x20AC;? said Scoffin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely positive for us going forward â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely climbing our way to the peak right now and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re firing on all cylinders. It

feels good to perform up to our expectations.â&#x20AC;?

Scoffin arrived in the WCT final following five straight wins, outscoring the competition 32-6 with two shutouts along the way.

The team, which includes third Evan Asmussen, second Jason Ginter and lead Andrew Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell, then lost 5-1 to the team of skip Kurt Balderston from Grande Prairie in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final of the 43rd annual bonspiel.

Included on the Balderston rink was second Rob Bucholz, who coached Scoffin when his rink made the final of the Canadian Junior Curling Championships in February 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still really close, him and I, both being from Edmonton here,â&#x20AC;? said Scoffin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see him around the Saville (Sports

Last month Team Scoffin reached the final game of WCTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Original 16 at the Calgary Curling Club in Alberta. They lost 6-2 to Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team Thomas, led by two-time junior world champion skip Charley Thomas.

Scoffin, 21, has now skipped a team to four WCT finals but is still looking for his first title.

In between the two WCT final appearances, Scoffin played second for Edmontonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team Bottcher at the Pintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Slam of Curling event, The National, in Oshawa, Ont. The Botcher rink went 1-3 and did not advance to the playoffs.

The highlight for the team, led by skip Brendan Bottcher, was a 6-3 win over Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pat Simmons, the two-time defending Brier champ and 2015 world championship bronze medalist.

Scoffin is currently in his fourth year at University of Alberta where he curls for the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden Bears team. Last March Scoffin and the Golden Bears claimed the Canadian Interuniversity Sport menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling title.

fter a weekend of curling, a cheque for $1,500 hung in the balance when the final rock was thrown.

Team Scoffin skip Wade Scoffin made the shot to pocket the dough at the Whitehorse Curling Club Cash Spiel on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a well-played game,â&#x20AC;? said Scoffin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple misses

here and there, but more importantly there were a lot of wellplayed shots. So it was a lot of fun and there was good competition on both sides, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to come out ahead.â&#x20AC;?

Team Scoffin claimed victory with a 7-6 extra-end win over Team Cathway Water Resources in the final. On board with Scoffin was vice Steve Fecteau, lead Clint Ireland and Scoffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Helan Strong, who spared in the final game for second Vern Janz

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what we wanted out of this weekend: to curl lots of games and to curl at a high level.â&#x20AC;?

Team Paslawski, who took in an even grand for their efforts, included third Rich Weihers, second Tyler Williams and lead Caroline Roy. A shorthanded Team Smallwood grabbed third and a cheque for $750 with an 8-4 win over Team Baldwin in the bronze game.

Smallwood, Scoffin and Baldwin skip Nicole Baldwin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as Smallwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Jody â&#x20AC;&#x201C; recently represented Yukon at the 2016 Canadian Mixed Curling Championships where they secured a record eighth place.

But now many are preparing for the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s territorial championships that can lead to the Brier and Scotties championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good event to have hap-

Rapids skaters all over the podium in Edmonton

Phil Hoffman/Yukon News

Whitehorse Rapidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tristan Muir leads a skater through a turn at the Edmonton Fall Classic over the weekend in Alberta. Five Whitehorse skaters competed in the event.

Below, Rapidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skater Micah Taggart-Cox leaves the start line.

F

ive members of the Whitehorse Rapids Speed Skating Club hit the short track and produced a long list of accomplishments at the Edmonton Fall Classic over the weekend in Alberta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty good. We got a few personal bests â&#x20AC;Ś and got some good experience racing, for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Rapids head coach Phil Hoffman.

Marsh Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lucas Taggart-Cox was the youngest from the bunch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the only in the L2T division for 11-and-under skaters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and came out on top.

The 10-year-old, who was slotted in Division 2 based on previous times, took first overall. He set personal best times in the 200-metre, 400-metre and 1,500-metre races en route to winning all three.

He also notched second in the 1,000 after taking a fall in the

id numbers 207 Main St. 668-3447

final, which was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not good,â&#x20AC;? he said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started thinking about something else.â&#x20AC;?

Taggart-Coxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older brothers, Micah and Caius, and teammates Michael Ritchie of Haines Junction and Tristan Muir of Whitehorse, competed in the older T2T

division for skaters 12-15.

Muir also posted three personal best times in three events en route to placing 17th in the overall rankings and second for his age.

The 13-year-old twice set personal bests in the 200 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once in the heats and again in the final â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taking second. He also placed

third in the 400 and second in the 1,500.

Micah Taggart-Cox had an â&#x20AC;&#x153;epicâ&#x20AC;? skate in Edmonton. He PBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d in the 200 and 400, cutting more than three seconds off his previous best with a time of 39.75 in the latter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was epic, a really epic PB,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Micah took first in the 200, second in the 400 and third in the 3,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with another PB â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to place fourth in the 13-year-old category.

Ritchie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the oldest on the team in Edmonton at 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; secured personal best times in every distance he raced.

He snatched third in the 400 and 1,500 finals to place fifth for his age and 11th out of 49 skaters in the T2T division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had some ups and downs, I felt that my weight was a little too far back, and it was a challenge to correct that,â&#x20AC;? said Ritchie.

Competing in the T2T division for his first time, Caius managed to take 24th overall out of 49 and fifth for his age.

The 11-year-old claimed second in the 200 and 400 and third in the 3,000, slicing a huge 70 seconds off his previous best.

He would continue to shine with the Cardinals, taking the National League Cy Young Award in 2005 and helping the team win World Series titles in 2006 and ‘11.

Clemens, who was 36 at the time, played five seasons in the Big Apple before a three-year run in Houston.

He capped his career by returning to New York for the 2007 season.

Chris Carpenter Although he showed flashes of brilliance over six seasons (‘97’02) with the Blue Jays, Carpenter’s injury woes were a regular concern.

He was limited to just 13 starts in 2002 and didn’t play in the major leagues in 2003 due to shoulder problems. The St. Louis Cardinals took a chance on

Cone joined the Blue Jays in August 1992 and helped the team win its first World Series title that fall.

He wasn’t around for the repeat victory the following year after joining the Kansas City Royals. Cone spent two years in KC – winning a Cy Young in 1994 – before returning to Toronto in 1995.

His second stint with the Blue Jays lasted just a little longer than his first.

With Toronto stuck in last place in the East Division, Cone was shipped to New York midway through the ‘95 season.

He maintained his strong form over parts of six seasons with the Yankees, earning a pair of all-star selections and winning four World Series titles.

DAVID McCLURE - World Champion Hillclimb Racer.

People want to know why I ride what I ride. I tell them it’s like anything. Be it a snowmobile, a mountain bike or performance gear. I research what the top athletes use. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.

I’m personally convinced that the 2016 M 800 Sno Pro Limited is the best mountain sled you can buy. Everything about this machine is top of the line. It even comes with FOX EVOL shocks, not just up front, but all the way around. The new sled is effortless to ride. To carve. To maneuver through the trees. The new front suspension, for me, is 100 times better than anything out there.

Kakuro

By The Mepham Group

Sudoku Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku.

This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every digit 1 to 9. For strategies on how to solve Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.

FRIDAY CROSSWORD PUZZLE

To solve Kakuro, you must enter a number between 1 and 9 in the empty squares. The clues are the numbers in the white circles that give the sum of the solution numbers: above the line are across clues and below the line are down clues and below the line are down clues.

Thus, a clue of 3 will produce a solution of 2 and 1 and a 5 will produce 4 and 1, or 2 and 3, but of course, which squares they go in will depend on the solution of a clue in the other direction.

No difit can be repeated in a solution, so a 4 can only produce 1 and 3, never 2 and 2. © 2013 The Mepham Group. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency. All rights reserved.

For more information: 334-5695 In tears we saw you sinking We watched you fade away, You suffered much in silence, You fought so hard to stay.

God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be.

So he wrapped his arms around you And whispered â&#x20AC;&#x153;come with meâ&#x20AC;?.

You faced your task with courage, Your spirit did not bend, And still you kept on fighting, Until the very end.

It broke out hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day god called you home.
