passage. But the judge wasn’t convinced. In December Luther convicted Thomas of hunting wolves without permission and inappropriate use of a firearm. He was also convicted of trafficking in wildlife because he tried to have a friend claim the wolves were caught on a Yukon trapline so they could be sealed. That plan fell through. Last year Luther ruled that aboriginal hunting rights are site-specific. Assigning hunting rights based on where people travelled during rites of passage would “be inviting chaos in the overall scheme of aboriginal rights,” he said. At Monday’s sentencing hearing the Crown was asking for a fine of between $9,000 and $10,000. Yukon conservation officer Aaron Koss-Young testified staff don’t kill animals in a residential area unless they are considered an imminent threat. In this case, one dog had been killed by a wolf in the Mount Sima area. But that dog had been left out at night to wander, Koss-Young said. That means the wolf would likely have seen the dog as ordinary prey. Thomas was actually a big-

Whitehorse man convicted of violating the Wildlife Act when he shot two wolves in 2013 was fined $6,500 Monday. Clayton Thomas, 35, also received a two-year Yukon hunting ban. Thomas told territorial court judge Donald Luther he plans to appeal the conviction. He continues to insist he did nothing wrong in 2013 when he killed two wolves on separate occasions in the Mount Sima area. Thomas has always said he killed the animals to protect his family and neighbours. “To have a wolf in my neighbourhood where my wife and her friends and my kids walk, I can’t take that chance,” he told the judge Monday. During trial he argued that his Tahltan heritage gives him the right to hunt around Whitehorse. His representative, a First Nation member named Kusta, tried to show that it was common for young men to travel and hunt outside the Tahltan territory in northwestern British Columbia as a rite of

Former journalist Richard Mostyn has won the Liberal nomination for Whitehorse West against polio survivor and accessibility advocate Ramesh Ferris. The results were announced at a meeting on Tuesday evening at the Mount McIntyre Recreation Centre. “Ramesh worked exceedingly hard and helped to build the party in Whitehorse West,” Mostyn told the News this morning. “And as a result of our efforts, we’ve got a real shot. Whitehorse West is no longer a safe riding for the Yukon Party. It is very much in play.” In total, 165 ballots were cast from the 206 Liberal members registered in the riding. Liberal Party spokesperson
signed up by Mostyn and Ferris during their campaigns. Mostyn said the new members are part of a “Liberal surge.” He pointed out that the Liberal candidate for Whitehorse West in 2011 won just 200 votes, and there are now more than 200 Liberal members in that riding alone. “I challenge the Yukon Party to find a riding of theirs that could boast as many,” he said. Mostyn said he plans to take a one-week break from his campaign. “And then on the 26th of April, the Mostyn campaign will resume and we will start doing what we do best, and that is meeting with and hearing the voices of Whitehorse West,” he said.

ger threat to the community when he shot his rifles, argued prosecutor Lee Kirkpatrick. According to Kirkpatrick, there were at least 50 residential lots within a kilometre when Thomas fired. It was dark at the time and he was using illegal full metal jacket bullets as ammunition. Compared to other types of ammunition these bullets are more likely to travel through an animal and hit something on the other side, she said. They are also considered a less humane way of hunting. One bullet was found on a hillside. Behind that hill was a house. Thomas insists the area was safe before he fired. Kirkpatrick said Thomas’s claim of self-defence “rings hollow.” He did not report any concerns about the animals to conservation officers and neither of the animals were posing any threat at the time he decided to kill them, she said. The $6,500 fine will be paid to the Yukon’s Turn in Poachers and Polluters fund. Thomas’s hunting ban only applies to the Yukon and makes an exception for subsistence hunting.

He said he wants the Yukon government to be “a voice of the many, not the few.” Liberal Leader Sandy Silver has offered his congratulations to Mostyn. “We are very happy to have him as our candidate and welcome his knowledge and expertise,” he said in a news release. Whitehorse West is currently held by deputy premier Elaine Taylor, who won the riding with 58 per cent of the vote in 2011. She has yet to announce whether she’ll run again. Mostyn is the fourth confirmed Liberal candidate. He joins John Streicker for Mount Lorne-Southern Lakes, Tamara Goeppel for Whitehorse Centre and Jeane Lassen for TakhiniKopper King.

Opposition Leader Liz Hanson has proposed a private member’s bill that would change the way political parties make money. companies in the past. In 2012 Stratagold Corporation, which has a handful of properties in the Yukon, donated $15,000. In 2011 the Predator Mining Group handed over $10,000. The Liberal Party’s biggest donor during the 2011 election was Western Copper which donated $3,300 that year. According to numbers released by the NDP, between 2011 and 2014, 73 per cent of contributions to the Yukon Party came from corporations or unions. That works out to about $216,000. For the NDP that number was
about $41,000 or 15 per cent. The Liberals got $11,000 or about seven per cent of their total. Democratic reform is something the NDP has been “trying to put through every aspect of the debate” since they were elected, said Hanson. The NDP has put forward private member’s bills to stop floor crossing, reform the lobbying rules and amend the workers’ compensation law to consider PTSD. It’s up to the party that tables these bills to call them for second reading, debate and eventually a
vote. The NDP has not called any of those bills for second reading. The floor crossing bill was tabled in 2011 but hasn’t been touched. The lobbying reform was abandoned after “very clear indications from the Yukon Party in question period that they wouldn’t support it,” according to party spokesperson Mike Fancie. The PTSD bill is also on hold, this time because the party says members of the public have suggested the bill could be expanded. Hanson said her bill on political contributions will be different. She has promised to call it for a debate. If it doesn’t pass, an NDP government would raise the issue again after the election, she said. The biggest hurdle facing this bill is time. The NDP’s decision to only introduce it now means the earliest it could come up for second reading and debate is Wednesday, May 4. Unless the bill becomes law before the end of the sitting on May 26, it will die on the order paper once the election is called. Hanson says there’s no reason this latest bill couldn’t become law in time. “If the will of the parties are there. These are relatively minor amendments, the consequences are significant but the actual technical amendments themselves are not complex.” Liberal Leader Sandy Silver says his party is in favour of these kind of changes. “It’s time. It’s definitely time for us to reign in the ridiculous amount of spending for political campaigns.” Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com
Plans for outdoor sports complex still alive, says proponent Myles Dolphin News Reporter
D
espite being shut down twice last year, the group pushing for the construction of an outdoor sports complex in Whitehorse isn’t giving up just yet. Tony Gaw, chair of the Yukon Outdoor Sports Complex Association, said he’s still scouting locations for the facility that would include two artificial turf fields, a rubberized track and bleachers. “We just keep going,” he said. Gaw said he’d look at a few spots in Whitehorse as part of the group’s due diligence but doesn’t expect any of them to be big enough. He still believes the site at Whistle Bend is the ideal loca-
tion for the project, which was estimated to cost $8 million. “If we want to continue with our two-field plan we can’t scale down,” he said. “(Yukon) Soccer (Association) would be happy with that but we still have a lot of interest from other user groups.” In December, members of Whitehorse city council shot down a plan to build the outdoor sports complex in the Whistle Bend subdivision. The 4-3 vote was identical to the one on April 27 last year, when the Yukon government was denied permission to build the facility. In both cases, the government had assured the city it wouldn’t be on the hook for any of the costs. But ultimately, that wasn’t
enough to sway a majority of council members to approve the zoning amendment. The Yukon Outdoor Sports Complex Association had been picked to manage the facility and be responsible for any operation and maintenance costs. The group had hired a sports architect as part of the design stage. They ran their numbers by him and he agreed the facility could be run for about $50,000 a year, Gaw told council in December. Plans would see the association cover its operation and maintenance costs with user fees. City councillors have expressed skepticism and worry the city could ultimately end up on the hook if costs prove to be much higher. Councillors Betty Irwin, Roslyn Woodcock, Jocelyn
Curteanu and Mayor Dan Curtis all said it was too early to bring the project back to the table in December. “I think the timing isn’t right,” said Curtis at the time. “My concern is that given the past six months, nothing new has come forward. I would have preferred to let this (bylaw) die and a new one come forward.” Other concerns raised by council included the lack of public consultation with Whitehorse residents. Gaw said he’s provided all the information that mayor and council need to make an informed decision. “This is a Yukon government project, tendered by them, paid for by them. They already confirmed they would cover any
operations and maintenance costs above what we can’t,” Gaw said in December. With the start of the new outdoor season only one week away, he said only a few of the city’s 16 fields are adequate for soccer. For the past three years, at the end of every summer, the Department of Education allocates $25,000 towards repairs to the most damaged fields. That includes picking up litter, power raking, removing dead grass, aerating, watering, weeding and edging. There was no mention of soccer field maintenance in Premier Darrell Pasloski’s recent budget speech, but it did include mention of $150,000 for new moveable soccer goals.

the candidate for Mount LorneSouthern Lakes. “I wanted to respect that,” he said. “I’m not aware of anyone else that’s seeking the Yukon Party nomination (in Copperbelt South), so that’s why we made the decision.” Kent pointed out that there is no rule in Yukon’s Elections Act that requires candidates to run in the riding they live in. Copperbelt South is adjacent to Mount Lorne-Southern Lakes, and Kent said he’ll be able to spend more time there than in Riverdale North, his current riding. He said he has a number of family members and longtime friends who live in Copperbelt South, and he plans to send his son to kindergarten at Golden Horn Elementary School in 2017. “There’s a number of issues I think that will be familiar to me, and I’m looking forward to banging on some doors out there and learning about some of the other issues that are important to the people out there,” he said. Copperbelt South is currently held by NDP MLA Lois Moorcroft, who launched her re-election campaign in March. She won the riding by just three
votes over Yukon Party candidate Valerie Boxall in 2011. Mount Lorne-Southern Lakes is held by NDP MLA Kevin Barr, who is also seeking re-election. Liberal candidate John Streicker is also campaigning in that riding. But Kent said the competition had no bearing on his decision to run in Copperbelt South instead of Mount LorneSouthern Lakes. For her part, Moorcroft seemed to welcome the new challenge during an interview on Monday. “Bring it on,” she said. “I’ve never taken anything for granted during my long career as an elected official.” Moorcroft said that where Kent lives won’t be his biggest concern during this election campaign. “The real challenge that Scott’s going to face is that he will have to defend the track record of the Yukon Party government,” she said. “Just in the past three years, we’ve seen economic decline, constant overspending and priorities that don’t reflect the needs of Copperbelt South residents.” She referred to the functional plan for the Whitehorse corridor of the Alaska Highway,
which has received a lukewarm reaction from the public. She pointed out that Kent is the minister responsible for that file, while she has acted as critic for Highways and Public Works. Kent was elected to Riverdale North in 2011. He previously served as a Liberal MLA from 2000 to 2002, when he lost to Archie Lang of the Yukon Party. Kent said the Yukon Party government has “accomplished quite a bit” in Riverdale during his time as MLA, including construction of the new F.H. Collins school, the opening of a new ambulance station and the ongoing expansion of the Whitehorse General Hospital. He said a few people expressed interest in running in Riverdale North during the annual general meeting, though no one has made a public announcement to date. Premier Darrell Pasloski will be leading the Yukon Party into the next territorial election, since his leadership underwent a successful review over the weekend. The other Yukon Party MLAs have yet to announce whether they plan to seek re-election. Contact Maura Forrest at maura.forrest@yukon-news.com

Alicia Murphy sentenced to nine years for 2008 manslaughter Ashley Joannou News Reporter
A
licia Murphy pleaded guilty to manslaughter on Friday in Yukon Supreme Court after years of denying that she had anything to do with the death of Evangeline Billy in 2008. Murphy was sentenced to time-served, after admitting she killed Billy and staged it to look like a sexual assault. She was sentenced to nine years in prison. But because of the amount of time she has already spent behind bars she will not be going back to jail. She was given three years probation, the longest length of probation available in this situation. Murphy was scheduled to go to trial later this year facing a second-degree murder charge. It would have been her second trial related to Billy’s death. Murphy was originally convicted of second-degree murder in 2009 and given a life sentence with no eligibility of parole for 14 years. But in 2014 a panel of appeal judges ordered she get a new day in court because of concerns over some of the witnesses that were called during the original trial. That was supposed to happen this year. Instead, Murphy has admitted to beating and killing Billy in the early morning hours of June 22, 2008. After beating Billy, Murphy held her head under the water

Murphy pushed her body into the water where she was later found. “This was a brutal and violent beating followed by the drowning of a vulnerable victim,”
Crown prosecutor Noel Sinclair told the court. According to an agreed statement of facts read in court, Murphy was unemployed and addicted to crack cocaine and alcohol when she killed Billy. She had spent the evening socializing with friends and consuming drugs and alcohol. Some time around midnight
she left the party to go look for more drugs for the group. That’s when she encountered an intoxicated Billy and attempted to rob her. After Billy was dead, Murphy went back to her friends. She would later confess what she had done to her sister and a friend. They went to the police. Billy’s family packed the

The grant, in the amount of $80,000, will cover the design, construction and removal of the existing ramp, Ross said. The application is currently with the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board. Construction is scheduled to begin this fall and should be completed by the end of the year,

courtroom on Friday. There were so many people that the hearing was delayed so a video feed could be set up and more people could watch the proceedings on a screen in a second courtroom. Justice Leigh Gower told the crowd that his heart goes out to Billy’s family. “The sentence I impose is never going to be long enough to bring Ms. Billy back,” he said. After, family remained outside the courthouse hugging and crying. Many people were dressed in red, a colour meant to honour the country’s missing and murdered aboriginal women. Billy’s mother, Bella Bresse, said waiting all these years for the case to end has been difficult. “I lost a very beautiful daughter,” she said. The fact that her daughter’s killer will now be out in public makes things difficult. Bresse called the sentence “half-justice.” “I, like the family, really felt that more time could have been served,” said Little Salmon Carmacks Chief Eric Fairclough. “There’s no justice, again, that can cover up what took place.” Billy’s daughter, Azul, stood outside with the family. She’s 16 now and says she will always remember her mother. “I remember what they tell me and I remember some moments that I was with her, but those moments I hold on to and I will for the rest of my life.” Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

F
or the second year in a row the Yukon Party government made a conscious decision to delay the spring sitting until after the 20162017 fiscal year had already begun. The late call has resulted in the government once again bypassing the legislature for spending authority and relying on special warrants, which should be used for exceptional circumstances only. It demonstrates a lack of respect for the legislative assembly and for democracy. The decision to release portions of the budget in a speech outside the legislative chamber also shows a similar disregard for the institution. The goal of this budget is to try to buy Yukoners’ hearts and minds with their own money. A look at the long term financial plan shows a spike in capital spending that drops off dramatically after the next election. Despite this spike, in the last year alone, 600 private sector jobs have been lost. What the territory needs is a consistent project building schedule that ensures local contractors receive the lion’s share of the work, and keeps dollars in Yukon. This record spending budget is a last-ditch attempt to turn around our declining economy. It is interesting to note the two largest projects in the budget are being built by Outside contractors. The Yukon’s GDP has declined for three years in a row and the government has repeatedly refused to accept any responsibility for its role in this development. While it has put money into grants and incentives like the Yukon Mineral Exploration Program, which provide some assistance to the private sector, the government continues to ignore the impact of its own actions. Regulatory uncertainty, caused largely by the government’s botched attempt to amend Bill S-6 and the Yukon Environmental and Socio-eco-

Maura Forrest nomic Assessment Act, has discouraged the private sector from investing in Yukon. In the same vein, court battles with First Nation governments have made Yukon a less attractive place to invest in. Exploration in the territory is forecast to drop by 18 per cent in the coming last year alone and Yukon continues to fall on the Fraser Institute mining rankings. The budget documents also show the Yukon Party government has spent down the surplus from $223 million to $56 million in just the last two years alone as it ramps up spending to try and buy votes. While Yukon has no net debt the premier’s speech ignores the debt carried by our crown corporations. The public accounts detail approximately $190 million in debt carried by those corporations that this government and taxpayers are responsible for. Given this government’s poor record when it comes to managing capital projects, I am not surprised to see another $4.3 million has been added to the cost of the F.H. Collins school, bringing the total to $55.3 million. In the last year the government has been forced to return to management board to ask for yet more money on this over-budget project. In my home community I was disappointed
to see that the entire term of this government will pass without the Yukon Party’s 2011 campaign promise to build a new recreation centre being fulfilled. It is a reminder to Yukoners that this government cannot be trusted. Similarly, a commitment to pave the Dawson airport runway is left out of the budget. This is one of several projects on the government’s IOU list as it heads into this year’s election. The budget fails to deliver on promises of a new francophone school, a mental health strategy or the long-promised fibre optic line. All of these items are just political IOUs now. The premier continues to talk about the Yukon becoming a net contributor to Canada. However the reality is that Yukon relies on Ottawa for 88 per cent of our budget. This is up from 80 per cent the first year the Yukon Party came into power, leaving us no further ahead in terms of standing on our own two feet today than we were 14 years ago. I cannot support the budget because I do not agree with the direction the current government is heading. Over the next six weeks I will continue to hold the government to account as we debate another billion dollar budget. Sandy Silver is leader of the Yukon Liberal Party and MLA for the Klondike.
LETTERS Campaign finance reform is long overdue in the Yukon Election finance reform is overdue in Yukon. It is high time we joined the Canadian mainstream in banning corporate and union donations and restricting the size of individual political donations. The Chretien Liberals banned federal-level corporate and union donations in 2003, arguing that “the changes are needed to curb Canadians’ cynicism about the political process.� Ontario recently decided to ban corporate and union donations on Jan. 1, 2017, when Premier Kathleen Wynne explained that “the current system does not meet today’s public expectations.� The Christy Clark government is
under pressure to follow the federal and Ontario governments’ lead. A recent editorial in Victoria’s TimesColonist calls for the B.C. government to “ban corporate and union political donations and limit individual donations to put an end to the pall of corruption hanging over B.C. politics.� An April 13, 2016 Globe and Mail editorial condemns Saskatchewan’s electoral law, which, like Yukon’s, still allows unlimited individual, corporate and union donations: “Until reform happens, the Wall government will be tainted by its reliance on corporate donors, and by the perception that some of its policies may be developed with those donors’ interests in mind.� And Manitoba just held its first election this week without corporate and union donations and with a cap
on individual donations. For obvious reasons businesses and unions have never been allowed to vote: electors can only be citizens. Similarly, only voters should have the right to donate to parties and campaigns. The potential of influence purchasing by businesses and unions compromises democracy. Furthermore, the Yukon “sky is the limit� size of political donations law is undemocratic and must change. Trust and confidence in our electoral system is diminished if average voters worry that large donations by wealthy Yukoners may potentially be buying influence with candidates and parties. Also, political donations from outside Yukon should be disallowed. Most Yukoners would cringe if they
were aware mining companies, unions, environmentalists or even churches from elsewhere in Canada could influence our elections. A tipping point has been reached. It is no longer considered morally acceptable in Canada that politicians can be bought by wealthy citizens or organizations. Is is now just a matter of time till corporate and union donations and unlimited donations are banned in every jurisdiction. Yukon Green Party leader Kristina Calhoun has long called for the elimination of the above undemocratic loopholes in Yukon’s electoral law. I would like to know the opinion of the other party leaders on this very important issue. Frank de Jong Faro

One lesson learned from Jian Ghomeshi’s acquittal by Ghomeshi himself. Opinions differed widely following the acquittal.

Crown’s evidence. Four of the Supreme Court justices who were involved in that decision had similar doubts. As most already know, the Charter of Rights guarantees that each “person charged with an offence has the right… not to be compelled to be a witness in proceedings against that person in respect of the offence.” The ability of an accused to sit silent – offering only a plea of “not guilty” in response to the charges – while the complainant’s credibility is picked apart piece by piece is a point of considerable frustration for victim’s advocates, particularly in sexual assault trials. Yet in 1997 the Supreme Court of Canada took the right not to incriminate a step further – and I would argue one step too far. In the landmark case of R. v. Noble, the court found that not only did an accused have a right not to testify but that no “adverse inference” could be drawn from their decision not to. An “adverse inference,” in a nutshell, is a conclusion drawn by a court when a party had an opportunity to bring evidence on a particular point but chooses not to. If some sort of assertion is made by a witness and no evidence is called to rebut that assertion (despite the availability of such evidence) it is inferred by the court that it is true.
In the civil law context adverse inferences are used all the time, but in criminal law they are more controversial. Some argue – and the majority agreed in the Noble case – that drawing adverse inferences against an accused exercising their right to remain silent offends that right. What is the point of not having to testify if exercising it is used against you, they say? But Noble was a split decision of the court, and four of the nine justices disagreed with the majority’s conclusion. One dissenting judge wrote “I find nothing infirm in appropriate circumstances in drawing inferences from the silence of the accused … Once the Crown has made out its case such that a conviction would be reasonable and there is a logical expectation that the accused adduce evidence in response, all judicial decision-makers may draw inferences of guilt based on the silence of the accused.” Another dissenting judge went on to add, “to say that an inference has been drawn from the accused’s failure to testify is only to say that the Crown’s evidence stands unchallenged. This does not violate the accused’s right to silence or presumption of innocence.” I’m inclined to agree with the court’s dissenters. A judge ought to be allowed to say, “Look I know
that there are problems with these witnesses, but each of them says you assaulted them, and you haven’t really offered me anything in response to that, so what am I to make of that?” An accused need not help the Crown make its case, but when the case hangs on the credibility of prosecution witnesses – as it often does particularly in sexual assault cases – it seems only logical that the lack of any meaningful rebuttal might also factor into the court’s consideration. While the judge in the Ghomeshi case specifically mentioned his inability to draw any adverse inferences from the accused’s silence, it seems doubtful that a reversal of the Noble decision alone would have resulted in a conviction. It wouldn’t have prevented the type of attack on the credibility and reliability of his accusers’ evidence that we saw unfold in the media either. But it would have helped. I see nothing offensive with the notion that evidence, even from problematic witnesses, ought to generally be believed when it goes unchallenged. And I don’t think that allowing a judge to follow such a logical train of thought somehow puts the basic underpinnings of our criminal justice system in any danger.
agree that we can do better. We see the handout as a blatant attempt to “buy” votes which tends to be the “go-to” action of conservative governments who see the writing on the wall in an election year. Our message to the Yukon Party is that they must put that money to much better use. The number of education assistants could be increased throughout the territory. The CDC could be funded in such a way as to provide much-needed programming in the summer months. The number of mental health workers could be increased to ensure that no more children sit on a wait list for over two years in order to get an assessment that all professionals agree is better done at the youngest age possible. Governing is a matter of choices. This government has chosen to put its electoral needs ahead of the very real needs of Yukon children.
tragedy of Attawapiskat and the difficulties facing First Nations in general. It would appear that in an effort to distance itself from a paternalistic, colonial past and embark on a relationship with First Nations based on mutual respect, your government has inadvertently thrown the baby out with the bathwater. I refer to the Liberal government decision not to require financial openness on the part of aboriginal leaders. Canadians are currently dealing with the fallout from an investigation into the expenditure of senators. Surely there is a lesson here. If guidelines are clear (and enforced), if those in a position of financial responsibility are required to act in an open and transparent manner, then incentives and opportunities for nepotism and corruption are diminished and the nation as a whole benefits. What so many citizens of First Nations around the country are desperately lacking is hope: hope for a better and brighter future for themselves and for generations to come. For their part, numerous governments over the years have recognized, to a greater or lesser degree, a financial obligation to invest in the future of First Nations peoples. Without enforceable requirements for financial transparency and accountability on the part of politicians, however, be they MPs, senators, chiefs or council members, then the distribution of cash, no matter under what
label, is like opening spigots of water into the desert. And hope evaporates. The need is great. But if we want to encourage the growth of oases, and before we pour more resources into the sand, we must ensure that monies intended to develop communities and opportunities for First Nations members are safeguarded by appropriate regulations and that individual members’ rights are protected – and are seen to be protected. You have a reputation of friendship and respect for First Nations peoples. I respectfully urge you to do your utmost to see that their rights and interests are protected by advancing legislation that requires transparency and accountability on the part of those who would act on their behalf.

Emergency aid for Attawapiskat crisis critical, but what about long term solutions? Sheryl Ubelacker Canadian Press
T
eams of mental health workers have travelled to Attawapiskat to help the remote northern Ontario reserve contend with an epidemic of suicide attempts among its young people. But can short-term therapeutic interventions, especially when delivered by outsiders, be effective in stemming the tide of self-harm? And what is needed to sustain any beneficial effects such intercessions may have once these emergency workers go home? The Cree First Nation community declared a state of emergency just over a week ago after 11 youth attempted to take their own lives this month, followed by 28 others in March. Community leaders also subsequently thwarted a suicide pact by 13 other young people, including a nine-year-old child. Chief Bruce Shisheesh said Saturday on Twitter that another five children attempted suicide on Friday evening in Attawapiskat. Dr. Laurence Kirmayer, founder and director of the Network for Aboriginal Mental Health Research at McGill University in Montreal, says crisis counselling and other supportive interventions are critical for stopping this so-called “suicide contagion.â€? “The analogy would be like an emergency room in a city,â€? Kirmayer said. “And there is definitely a place for that. “If somebody is acutely suicidal, then having emergency services available, having somebody be in a safe place ‌ having a chance to assess what’s going on and to give some support and maybe begin some kind of treatment, it can all be helpful. “However, if people are seen in the emergency room and they’re suicidal and you return them to exactly the same circumstances that led to that problem, then they may still be at risk.â€? Such suicide contagion among youth is driven by a sense of despair, the legacy of white European expansion poli-

The trauma of sexual and physical abuse from residential schools continues to reverberate within many families, often leading to widespread substance abuse. For many living on remote or rural reserves, poverty, inadequate housing, contaminated water and a lack of educational and employment opportunities add to the sense of hopelessness felt by many aboriginal youth, who may see death as their only escape. Rod McCormick, a Mohawk psychotherapist and researcher at Thompson River University in Kamloops, B.C., said it’s “important and necessary� for Attawapiskat to have help from fly-in teams – both to ramp up the response but also to give respite to mental health professionals already on the reserve, who have been burned out trying to contain the crisis. Still, given the long-standing Third World living conditions and deeply embedded emotional pain that are the daily realities of life on the reserve, such temporary aid – though welcome – may only provide a Band-aid solution, he suggested. “They can stop the bleeding, so to speak, if they’ve got enough people there to do it, but it won’t fix things,� McCormick said. Psychotherapy, for instance, involves building a trusting relationship between therapists

and their clients – a process that takes time, especially when those mental health workers are coming from outside the community and if they’re nonaboriginal. “That in itself would probably take a couple of weeks,â€? he said. “And then if you know they’re not going to stick around, you’re much less likely to open up to them. “So I don’t think they’re going to be able to address any of the root causes of the problems ‌ The underlying causes, whether it’s a lack if sense of hope or emotional pain they can’t deal with – they’re still there. “It’s like a powder keg. It can go off pretty quickly.â€? The Ontario government has sent in an emergency medical assistance team (EMAT) to offer relief to full-time nurses and other primary-care providers at the Attawapiskat Hospital, who are part of the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority, or WAHA. “I would say they had reached the max in their ability to deal with the situation, for sure,â€? agreed Deborah Hall, vicepresident of clinical services for WAHA, which covers a massive territory around James Bay and Hudson’s Bay. “They needed time to care for themselves, so EMAT’s offered us 30 days of respite,â€? she said. “So at the end of 30 days, our team will be in a much better place to support the community in whatever way the community needs our support.â€? Hall, who has travelled to
Attawapiskat, said WAHA has also sent in a new team to care for people who come to the hospital, including two traditional healers, two mental health counsellors and a social worker who speaks Cree. While emergency aid given by fly-in mental health workers has a critical role to play, Kirmayer said longer-term solutions are needed. For instance, his network is in the midst of setting up a culturally based, family-centred mental health promotion project called Listening to One Another to Grow Strong, which will provide a tool kit for indigenous communities to build their own programs, aimed at pre-adolescents. Designing such programs based on their own traditions also helps empower communities, eliminating the sense that solutions are being imposed from outside, he said. “The aim is to use culture and identity to strengthen youth awareness ‌ (to give them) a proud sense of where they come from.â€? McCormick is setting up a centre at his university called All My Relations, which is examining what healing practices from the past could help bolster mental health within indigenous communities today, especially among their young people. Among them are naming ceremonies, in which a community member who is struggling and at risk is given a traditional aboriginal name – often that of an ancestor – and family members stand up and take responsibility for watching over the person and helping them to live up to that name. “It connects them at so many levels, and it puts responsibility on people as well,â€? he said. “So I think healing has to come from within the community, both at the individual level through resilience training and through the community being re-empowered ‌ to realize that you do have solutions. “They might not look like the ones that exist in mainstream Toronto or Vancouver, but they worked for your ancestors for thousands of years and we just have to bring them back.â€?

eral MP Rob Oliphant, who cochaired a special parliamentary committee that recommended a much more permissive approach than was adopted by the government in its new bill. The Saturday meeting had been scheduled before the bill was introduced on Thursday but Ratansi was amazed to find that the roughly 200 people who attended, predominantly well-todo seniors, had already dissected the bill and had passionate views on it. Some 80 to 85 per cent found it wanting, she said. One, a non-verbal disabled woman in a wheelchair, used a computerized board to express “how annoyed she was with the billâ€? because it wouldn’t allow her to make an advance request for an assisted death, Ratansi said. “She said, ‘I want advance directive because I am competent at the moment ‌ What happens if I am no longer able to communicate? What happens then?â€?’ Those who fear they may become incapacitated with dementia expressed similar concerns, Ratansi said. Others wanted the right to decide for themselves when a medical condition makes their lives intolerable. “I guess people were saying, ‘Who are you to decide what my pain level is and whether it’s mental or physical?’ I think we need to have thoughtful discussions on this.â€? In Carter, the court ruled that the ban on assisted dying violated
the charter guarantee of the right to life, liberty and security of the person. It said medical help in dying should be available to clearly consenting adults with “grievous and irremediable� medical conditions who are enduring physical or mental suffering that they find intolerable. The government’s more restrictive bill would require a person to be a consenting adult, at least 18 years of age, in “an advanced stage of irreversible decline� from a serious and incurable disease, illness or disability and for whom a natural death is “reasonably foreseeable.� It does not extend the right to assisted dying to those suffering only from mental illnesses or to mature minors. Nor does it allow advance directives. Advocates of medically assisted dying believe the bill disregards the court ruling and have accused the Liberals, who profess to be the party of the charter, of authoring the kind of restrictive law they would have expected from the previous Conservative government. “I would agree with them if the bill doesn’t change and it’s a whipped vote,� said Toronto Liberal MP Adam Vaughan, parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. However, he argued that the government is open to having a freewheeling debate on the bill and to making some changes and it has vowed to let MPs vote freely.

“I think now you’re looking at a process where Canadians, through their members of Parliament, can effect the changes they want to see ‌ That’s the way government’s supposed to work,â€? Vaughan said. Among other things, Vaughan said he’s hearing concerns from some groups about the failure to include advance directives for people diagnosed with competence-impairing conditions like dementia, “insofar as fate doesn’t always afford you the chance to be able to speak when you need to be heard.â€? Dominic LeBlanc, the government House leader, said the feasibility of amendments depends in part on how quickly the bill moves through the legislative process in both the Commons and Senate, given the push to enact the law before the June 6 deadline set by the Supreme Court. Some senators have vowed to propose amendments and LeBlanc said he hopes that will occur early so that “workableâ€? changes can be incorporated into the bill before it’s passed by the Commons. If the Senate were to vote for amendments after the bill is passed by the Commons, it would trigger a lengthy process of “ping pong,â€? where the bill would bounce back and forth between the two houses of Parliament. Other Liberal MPs expressed satisfaction with the balance struck by the bill between a dying person’s right to end their suffering, the need to protect the vulnerable and the right of medical practitioners to refuse to provide assistance in dying. While he wants to hear what legal experts and Canadians have to say, Quebec MP Steve MacKinnon said: “Right now, I think the government’s struck a pretty good balance.â€? Toronto Liberal MP Judy Sgro said most people she’s heard from are “appreciative of the fact that we’re going about it in a very careful, methodical way.â€? “I was a bit concerned it might go farther,â€? Sgro added. “I think it will satisfy a lot of Canadians that we haven’t gone too far and we are trying to be as considered as possible.â€?

One of the Yukon budget’s odder line items: $50K to buy two ancient arctic camel skeletons Ashley Joannou News Reporter
T
he back room used by Yukon’s paleontology department is not all that flashy until Dr. Grant Zazula starts spinning wheels reminiscent of bank vault doors and the rows of shelves separate like a giant accordion. Once there’s space to walk between the rows, it’s clear just how much is being held in this relatively small area. Deep shelves hold a myriad of treasures from the jaw bone of an arctic lion to the leg from an ancient pig. Since the Yukon took control of the territory’s paleontology from Ottawa in the mid ‘90s, the collection including fossilized bones and bone fragments found in the territory has grown to about 25,000 pieces. Ten years ago it was only 5,000 specimens, Zazula said. By next fall or early winter the shelves at the office will be home to a new skeleton, though this one will only be a copy cast in either resin or fibreglass. The department was responsible for, arguably, the most interesting line item in this year’s territorial budget: under tourism and culture, “$50,000 to purchase two ancient arctic camel skeletons, one for exhibit purposes and one for the paleontological reference collection.” These type of ancient camels, known as Camelops hesternus, first show up about a million years ago in northern Mexico and roamed the earth until the end of the last ice age about 12,000 years ago. Their time in the Yukon was much shorter. A brief warm period allowed them to migrate North, but that ended about 100,000 years ago, Zazula said. As far as anyone can tell, these ancient camels likely looked like a bigger, taller version of its Arabian brethren. Its shoulder would have been about two metres off the ground, plus an extra metre worth of neck. It ate off bushes, as opposed to grazing, and had only one hump. Dawson City is a go-to locale for anyone looking for ancient bones in the Yukon. The public perception of paleontologists, knee-deep in dirt toiling for hours to dig up bones, isn’t the way things are done in Dawson. There, much of the heavy lifting is done by placer miners who use high-powered hoses, similar to water cannons, to wash away the muck and help melt the ground’s permafrost. “Bones are constantly pop-

Zazula’s staff basically spend their whole summer camping in the Klondike, meeting miners and collecting what’s coming out of the ground. “Often there will be heaps of these fossils,” he says. But Arctic camel bones are often few and far between, especially in the North. The headline from a 1913 New York Times article trumpets the find of the first fossilized camel foot bone in northern Yukon. Zazula has bones found in the 1930s and ‘40s near Fair-
banks on loan from the American Museum of Natural History. In the 1980s a gold miner working near Sixty Mile River found a handful of bones identified as camel. After that things went bone dry until 2008 when the foot bone of an ancient camel turned up in a pile of other animal bones in Dawson, Zazula says. “We were pretty shocked back in 2008 because there hadn’t been any camel bones found in literally almost 30 years in Yukon.” The foot bone has a clear split at the bottom, indicating it
belonged to some sort of ungulate with two toes. Zazula disappears into the bowels of the office shelves to pull out foot bone after foot bone of different animals, laying them side by side. Each bone has a unique end depending on the kind of hoof. “We knew it’s not a moose, not a bison, not a horse,” he says. A large part of identifying ancient bones is done by comparing them to known examples. But in 2008 Yukon’s paleontologists had to rely on a osteology manual from the ‘60s and
photos sent to Outside specialists to confirm what they found. About 30 camel specimens have been found since 2008, Zazula said, all bits and pieces. The Yukon’s got toes, vertebrae and part of the jaw of a young camel with its baby teeth still intact. “We find fossil bones, these ancient bones, all the time and without a good reference skeleton to compare things to it’s pretty hard to make positive determinations or identifications.” That’s why they decided to buy a model, Zazula says. But where does one shop for an ancient Arctic camel skeleton? Most museums use replica skeletons as part of their displays, Zazula says. “So there’s a small industry in making replica skeletons of everything from dinosaurs to monkeys to human ancestors and whatnot. “So you just have to Google.” The Yukon hasn’t ordered its models just yet, but Zazula expects they will be moulded from camel skeletons found in California. It’s unlikely a full skeleton will ever be found in the Yukon, he says. The rolling terrain, plus melting, scavengers and moving rivers means most of the bones here are in pieces. California’s tar pits have preserved complete skeletons of ancient camels that appear to have gotten stuck in the muck. A home hasn’t been chosen yet for the second model that will be on display for the public. Zazula admits to “completely dorking out” over the study of ice aged mammals like the camel. He says there’s value to Yukoners being able to see the ancient animal that once roamed where they are standing. “All paleontologists know there were camels in the Arctic and the North at one time,” he says. “But you tell people from the general public that, they’re like, ‘What? Camels here? Really, are you crazy?’” The bones allow people to learn about how animals moved and populations changed in the North, and maybe have a better understanding of contemporary changes, he says. Even failing that, it’s pretty cool. “I think people will be pretty impressed to stand there and look up at a three-metre-tall camel skeleton, wherever it may rest in the Yukon.” Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

Dinosaurs were declining long before asteroid hit, says study Malcolm Ritter Associated Press
NEW YORK inosaurs were in decline long before an asteroid strike polished them off about 66 million years ago, a study says. It’s the latest contribution to a long-running debate: Did the asteroid reverse the fortune of a thriving group of animals? Or were dinosaurs already struggling, and the disruptive effects of the asteroid pushed them over the edge to extinction? Or were the dinosaurs headed for oblivion anyway? While some have argued that dinosaurs began petering out some 5 million or 10 million years before their final doom, the new paper suggests it started happening much earlier, maybe 50 million years before the asteroid catastrophe. In terms of species, “they were going extinct faster than they could replace themselves,” said paleontologist Manabu Sakamoto of the University of Reading in England. He led a team of British scientists who analyzed three large dinosaur family trees, looking for evidence of when extinctions began to outnumber the appearances of new species. They found that starting to happen about 50 million years before the asteroid for most groups of dinosaurs. Two other groups showed increases rather than declines; if their results are included, the overall time for the start of dinosaur decline shrinks to 24 million years before the final demise. Declining groups include two-legged carnivores like T. rex

said it’s not clear what caused the long-term declines. The results support the idea that the asteroid strike pushed a struggling group into extinction, rather than the idea that dinosaurs were doomed anyway, he said. He also noted that one group in decline still lives on in its descendants, today’s birds. The killer asteroid is thought to have struck the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, creating widespread wildfires and lingering smoke that blocked sunlight, and changing climate. Mark Norell, chair of the paleontology division at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, called Sakamoto’s analysis “the best you can do” given the lack of available fossils from that time. Most data came from North America with some from Asia and western Europe he said, and the conclusion would be firmer if fossils could be included from a wider geographical distribution. David Fastovsky, chair of the geosciences department at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, said placing the seeds of the decline so early in time is striking and unexpected. Paleontologists will no doubt examine the study “quite closely,” he said.

CHIEF Stanley Njootly Sr. Tracy M. Rispin
Wednesday, April 20, 2016
OTTAWA ith almost 150 countries, including Canada, poised to sign the Paris climate agreement at the end of this week in New York, some of the world’s biggest oil companies aren’t convinced there’s any end in sight for fossil fuel use. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be among signatories from some 147 countries convening Friday at the United Nations headquarters on Earth Day, the first opportunity to formally sign the global climate agreement completed in December. The Paris accord envisions measures to hold the average global temperature increase to “well below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels� and closer to 1.5 degrees. As of 2015, the world had already warmed one degree, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Many advocates heralded the Paris agreement as signalling the end of fossil fuels – the beginning of a swift transition to a decarbonized world by mid-century. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, speaking at a World Bank event last week in Washington, said the clean energy transition is a “$3 trillion opportunity.� “As I say to business, ‘You’re crazy if you’re not thinking about this,�’ said McKenna. “If you’re in oil and gas you should be thinking about renewables. That’s a huge opportunity for you, for your shareholders.� But amid the hoopla and enthusiasm that will surround this week’s UN signing ceremonies for the Paris agreement, some global energy giants are suggesting to investors that the most aggressive carbon-cutting scenarios simply won’t come to pass. Calgary-based Imperial Oil’s 2016 shareholder circular, sent in advance of the company’s April 29 annual general meeting, states that “the company’s assessment is that its operations will exhibit

It cautions that international accords and the accompanying government regulations “are evolving with uncertain timing and outcomeâ€? but states that “Imperial’s estimates of potential costs related to possible public policies covering energy-related greenhouse gas emissions are consistent with those outlined in Exxon Mobil Corporation’s longterm ‘Outlook for Energy’‌.â€? And Exxon, which owns 70 per cent of Imperial Oil, isn’t buying the talk of “stranded assetsâ€? that flared before and since the Paris agreement. “We expect that oil, natural gas and coal – the three fuels that together built the modern economy – will continue to meet almost 80 per cent of the world’s energy needs through 2040,â€? says Exxon’s 2016 energy outlook, which predicts oil demand will rise 30 per cent over the next 24 years. “We expect oil to continue to be the world’s leading fuel, driven by demand for transportation fuels and by the chemical industry, where oil provides the feedstock to make plastics and other advanced materials,â€? says the outlook. Both Exxon and Chevron had been seeking to block shareholder proposals at next month’s annual general meetings that dealt with transparency over the business impact of global carbon emissions policies. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Com-
mission ruled this month that the companies must include the shareholder proposals at their AGMs. Not all former oil executives are as bullish. Jeroen van der Veer, the former CEO of Royal Dutch Shell who retired in 2009, wrote last week that “uncertainty about whether oil demand will continue to grow is already impacting the strategies of oil and gas firms.� In an article for the World Economic Forum, van der Veer asserted that “producers are coming to realize that oil under the ground might soon be less valuable than oil produced and sold in the coming years. This dramatic shift in expectations is changing the operating environment for the future of oil and gas.� Mark Carney, the Canadianborn governor of the Bank of England, has been warning about the financial dangers of “stranded assets� since 2014. Keith Stewart, Greenpeace Canada energy researcher, said in an interview that bankruptcies among major coal producing companies should be a cautionary example for the oil giants as the world meets to sign on to the Paris accord. “They can adapt to this new reality and become energy companies rather than oil companies, or they can join the dinosaurs,� said Stewart, adding “this is no longer just the Greenpeace crazies� saying so.

50 years later: remembering the Klondike Days controversy
Myles Dolphin News Reporter
I
t was 50 years ago this month that Edmonton city council approved spending $200,000 to set up a Klondike display at EXPO 67 in Montreal. And that’s when all hell broke loose in the Yukon. YUKONERS ARISE! screamed the Whitehorse Star’s biggest headline – half a page – in its 67year history. Edmonton had been using the Klondike theme for its annual fair in July since 1964. But in early 1966, the Yukon legislative assembly put everything aside to focus its attention on Edmonton’s decision to use the Klondike theme at one of the biggest international exhibitions in the world. Yukoners rallied in droves. It wasn’t long before the Klondike Defense Force was established. Volunteers printed and sold thousands of Victory Bonds for $2 a piece to raise funds for the cause. They were even purchased from as far away as England, Germany and Australia. Yukoners were fed up with Edmonton’s use and misuse of the theme, which had been going on for several years, former Whitehorse Star editor Flo Whyard wrote in 1986. The Defense Force organized a rally on Main Street that brought thousands of people together. The Midnight Sun Pipe Band and entertainers such as Al Oster and Hank Karr performed live. Former Whitehorse mayor Howard Firth and former Dawson mayor Jimmy Mellor joined the cause, as did Yukon commissioner Gordon Cameron and legislative assembly speaker George Shaw. Shaw urged members to “stand up and fight this invasion of our rights,” Whyard wrote. They travelled to Skagway and Haines to drum up support, while volunteers sent over

A Klondike Defense Force poster from 1966. 100,000 letters to households and businesses in Edmonton explaining what their officials were doing to Yukoners. “A tidal wave of indignation swept through the Yukon as hundreds of Yukoners suddenly realized what was happening to their Klondike,” wrote Roy Minter, then the special assistant to the president of the White Pass & Yukon Route, who helped spearhead the Klondike Defense Force movement.
“The Yukon’s concern over Edmonton’s usurpation of its history goes far deeper than appears on the surface. Yukoners are intensely proud of their history and the fact that the Yukon was the scene of the most colourful gold rush the world has ever known provided them with a heritage that is second to none in Canada.” At the time, Edmonton already called itself the Oil Capital of the World, the Heart of Alberta,
Alberta’s Capital City and the Gateway to the North, Minter wrote. “The Whitehorse Junior Chamber of Commerce suggested they should try “Edmonton, the city with a past – anybody’s past!” he added in a lengthy letter that appeared in the June/ July 1966 issue of a local tourism publication. Edmonton based its claims to the Klondike on two premises. The first was that Edmonton
had been a stopping point for prospectors headed to the Yukon during the Gold Rush era. “A few people were conned into trying this route to the Klondike during the Rush but it’s estimated that out of the 50,000 sourdoughs who came into the Klondike in ’97 and ’98, less than thirty made it from Edmonton – and this handful spent two years getting there,” said Shaw in 1966. The second premise, Minter surmised, was that Edmonton felt entitled to use the Yukon’s Klondike history because, in its opinion, the Yukon was doing nothing with it. Bea McLeod, one of the Yukon’s principal tourist promoters at the time, told Minter it would take a five-foot bookshelf to list everything the tourist industry had accomplished. By late April 1966, Yukon’s efforts seemed to bear fruit. A delegation from Yukon’s legislative assembly visited officials at EXPO 67 and it was assured there would be no Edmonton Klondike show at the exhibition. Edmonton officials decided to use “Old Fort Edmonton” as a theme, instead. In 1969, then Yukon commissioner James Smith announced the territorial government had trademarked “Klondike” and that offenders would be “pursued to the fullest extent that the law permits,” according to an article in the Whitehorse Star. But Edmonton continued using the name Klondike Days until 2006, when the fair was changed to Capital Ex. Before the 2012 event Northlands, the non-profit running the event, announced a new name would be chosen by a public vote. Among the six names that were available K-Days was the most popular one, returning the event to its once popular nickname. Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

Limiting friends on social media can be done impersonally
by Judith Martin
MISS
MANNERS DEAR MISS MANNERS: I finally signed up with a popular social media site at the request of my two sisters, one who lives abroad and the other one 1,500 miles away. They both wanted to be updated on my family and daughter’s events. However, due to my busy schedule, I want to limit the number of my “friends� on social media to 10 people, mostly very close family and friends of my daughter. I have received a friend request from a person I carpool to work with. I do not want to increase my social media friends list. Should I accept the invite, even if it means having 11 friends? Or what is a polite way to decline? GENTLE READER: Most social media sites save users the trouble of figuring out how politely to say “I don’t want to be your friend� by allowing them to decline without actually informing the person making the

request. Miss Manners does not agree with this implementation; she does agree that you are not bound to engage in unwelcome social interactions. DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am in my early 70s and could definitely get a lift from a face-lift. The problem is that I’m not sure how to find a surgeon I trust. I know a number of women my age who look wonderful, and I suspect they have had “work� done. I would love to ask them for the names of their surgeons, but fear that my question would be insulting or intrusive. Is there a tactful way I could ask? Or is it just plain bad manners to ask someone who did their face? GENTLE READER: Yes, “Who did your face?� is definitely not charming conversation. But you might be able to tease that out of them by talking about yourself, and then, after the inevitable reassurance that you look fine, saying, “Still, I wish I knew someone who could recommend a surgeon. I’m not lucky enough to have your good genes.�

Whitehorse Mustangs, BMO peewees take minor hockey titles Myles Dolphin News Reporter
T
he Whitehorse Peewee Mustangs turned a few heads during their final round-robin game at the Whitehorse Minor Hockey Championships last weekend when they started the third period without a goalie. Down 5-2 versus DGC Welding, the Mustang’s number one-goalie Joshua Wanless couldn’t play the final period because of concussion symptoms. Coaches Mike Cozens and Jake Jirousek, knowing they didn’t have enough time to dress anyone else as goalie, decided to go with six skaters. “We told the players they couldn’t let them shoot,” Cozens said. “That means two guys on the puck all the time, going hard. The fans had no idea what was going on, thinking we’d pulled our goalie already. “Our players were relentless – blocking shots, getting sticks on the puck. They were great.” The Mustangs ended up scoring four goals and allowing none to beat the Welders 6-5 and book a spot in the final. Cozens said it was one of the most exciting periods of hockey he’d ever seen. On Sunday, the Mustangs beat Castle Rock 5-3 to come out on top in the bantam division. Landon Marsh, Ashton Underhill and Errol Ekholm took care of the scoring for the Mustangs, who beat a significantly bigger and faster team.
Myles Dolphin/Yukon News
Peewee Mustangs goalie Joshua Wanless pounces on a loose puck during the Mustang’s 5-3 win in the Bantam finals of the Whitehorse Minor Hockey Championships. BMO won 6-3 over P&M Recycling in the peewee division. Wanless returned to the Mustangs net for the final and backstopped his team against a relentless attack. “When push came to shove in the last few minutes of the game he came up big,” Cozens said. Cozens explained his team’s success by saying the players have really bought into a team mentality. “Jake is the one who really studies the game,” he said.
“We’re not a team that relies on any one player. We can lose a really good player and because of the way we play, it won’t affect us dramatically.” That’s exactly what happened last weekend, as one of the Mustangs’s top defencemen was in British Columbia to participate in a spring tournament. “We have a lot of time working with these guys and they really buy into the system. It’s
a real team effort,” Cozens added. In the peewee division, BMO topped P&M Recycling 6-3 in the final. Johnny Timmons lead the way offensively with a goal and an assist for BMO while Huss Breithaupt had a goal and an assist for P&M. BMO coach Derek Johnstone said it was a busy week for his team but they played well. His players exploded for
four goals in the third period against P&M. “We had three strong lines but the other teams really developed well this year so it made for a good end-of-season,” he said. Johnstone said there was a good mix of ‘05 and ‘06 players on his team this year, which made it easier to balance his lines. Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

Whitehorse’s Angela Burke an All-Star of B.C. hockey for the Pronghorns. “I ended up scoring the gamewinner for my last game, which was really special,” said Burke. “In your last year you really start to focus on what matters most – the teammates and the memories and the friendships … Time really flew by and the last year was definitely the most special.”
Burke cut her teeth as a competitive hockey player with the Northern Avalanche, which later became the Whitehorse Female Mustangs. She also played for Team Yukon at the 2007 Canada Winter Games and the 2006, 2008 and 2010 Arctic Winter Games. Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

They were just a really welcoming group of people, so it was really awesome.” Prior to the Moose, Burke played left wing five seasons for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns in Alberta. Before she graduated with a degree in psychology last year she was named Most Dedicated Player

Yukon Selects S.C.’s Rhys Faragher gets past Andrew Roberts in the boys final of the Whitehorse Futsala Tournament at Vanier Catholic Secondary School on Sunday. Tom Patrick News Reporter
T
he Yukon Selects S.C. won two medals with first and second place finishes at the Whitehorse Futsala Tournament over the weekend. The Selects team (2002/03 age group) was split into two squads – Whitehorse Orange and Whitehorse Blue – and met in the final on Sunday at Vanier Catholic Secondary School. Orange defeated Blue 5-0 for the title. “We’re pretty happy. It’s always good to play futsal, I really like it,” said Orange player Andrew Roberts of the fast style of indoor hard-court soccer that is growing in popularity. “We were very organized defensively and we could get out of the back quickly and score goals.” Both teams arrived in the final undefeated with Orange finishing with a 4-0 record.
Orange took the match with goals from Ashton Bryant, Andrew Roberts, Ben Kishchuk and two from Andreas Lavanderos. Goalkeeper Callum Weir in net for the shutout. The tournament featured 10 teams – five Whitehorse and five Juneau – in the futsal tourney. (Younger teams from Whitehorse and Juneau squared off in regular indoor soccer tournament at the Canada Games Centre with no final standings.) “I think our team probably could have communicated better, but it was fun,” said Blue player Jason Sealy. “It was pretty awesome Juneau could come here and play with us and hopefully we can do it again.” “I’d like to thank Juneau for coming to play with us. It was a good tournament,” added Roberts. It was a similar story in the girls futsal final. The Juneau Thrive was cleaved into two
squads and they battled to reach the final where Juneau 1 (in red) beat Juneau 2 (in white) 1-0 with a goal from Ellie Knapp. “I’m very proud of these girls. They were able to bring it back from some hard losses,” said Juneau coach Josh Odum. “We actually started with a 5-0 (loss) to Whitehorse and they were able to bring it back by goal differential. Both teams worked very hard to get first and second place. “Now I get to go home and they get to shave my head. That was the bet. They said, ‘If we get first and second, will you let us shave your head?’ And I said sure.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

A
Yukon-born Lab-Husky cross with a beautiful smile, he was such a big part of our family after we moved to Yukon in 2002.
For Monika, 9 and Adrian, 10, Julius was their protector, walking to school, playing in the snow, sleeping in their beds, enjoying warm blankets and ďŹ shing. Julius assisted with everything. That is why he had a cactus spike in his nose and shortly after that a small ďŹ shing anchor. He loved children and listening to his favourite song sung by mom, Jola. He was so cute to watch chasing ies and he had good ďŹ eld orientation while mushroom hunting with the family. We called him Security and Hooligan, roles he passed on to his brother William as he grew older.
And more...
Even though he was a Labrador Retriever, he couldn’t swim, he was drowning in Jackson Lake. All his trips were in a life jacket. Julius survived a car accident 7 years ago but the metal plate in his front leg caused a bone infection. He was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy a year and a half ago causing pain and difďŹ culty walking. Henryk devised a dolly which allowed Julius to go for walks with the family. We cared for Julius with love, dedication, and passion and he gave the same. As hard as it was to let him go, someone said “You must love your animal enough to not let him sufferâ€?. Deeply missed by his family, he will stay in our hearts forever. Thank you to all the staff of Alpine Veterinary Clinic for their care, help and support during this difďŹ cult time.
- Jola with family

Michael was born in Whitehorse, Yukon July 28th, 1975. He was passionate about music from an early age, wrote many songs, and played in a multitude of bands. He loved his dog Hippo and thought of himself as a bit of a dog whisperer. He had a new found love for golf and was looking forward to yet another Yukon summer camping. Those who knew Michael know that he wouldn’t want us to be sad, although it is impossible not to be. He would want everyone to get together and tell funny stories about him, and celebrate his life. So that’s exactly what we are going to do. His life will live on in the music he created, and in the memories shared by many.
SLIDE INTO German. Join our group, learn and/or practice German over coffee every Saturday at the Birch and Bear, Waterfront Station, 10am-11am, no charge. Call 334-6948 for info.
