O

pposition Leader Stacey Hassard pressed the government May 31 to consider two changes to the territory’s liquor rules: eliminating the government markup on locally produced alcohol and allowing producers to sell directly to retailers.

The changes were part of the Yukon Party’s election platform in 2016 and the elimination of tariffs is popular amongst local producers.

The Yukon Liquor Corporation applies a 23 per cent markup on packaged beer produced by small brewers.

This means that Whitehorse’s Winterlong Brewing Company has to sell their beer to the YLC and then buy it back at the markup so they can sell it in their own tasting room.

“At the end of the month, we tell them how much we’ve sold and they apply a 23 per cent markup which we have to pay, even though they don’t touch it,” said Winterlong co-owner Marko Marjanovic.

“It would definitely be nice to not have to pay that markup since the Yukon Liquor Corp isn’t involved except for a few hours of invoicing at the end of the month.”

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Opposition Leader Stacey Hassard pours a beer at an election campaign event in 2016. Hassard has asked the government make changes the Yukon’s liquor rules.

The markup also extends to the beer that Winterlong sends to the YLC for sale elsewhere, but this isn’t paid by Winterlong.

“I know there was some talk of eliminating [the markup] for local producers which would certainly give us an advantage in terms of competing with out-of-province producers,” said Marjanovic.

It’s not yet entirely clear, though, whether exempting local producers from the markup would be compatible with NAFTA

or the Canada Free Trade Agreement.

Hassard, a main proponent of the changes, said “it’s nothing that should be indefensible” under current trade agreements.

Jeff Erasmus, YLC’s director of operations, saidpricing was among several options the corporation is looking at to help local brewers.

“We’re very mindful of the trade implications with respect to providing favourable markups to local producers and we’re going

to be looking at options that are available within the confines of these agreements.”

On the other hand, allowing direct sales to retailers might be easier to implement, but is met more cautiously by Marjanovic.

“That’s sort of a double-edged sword,” he said.

“Right now YLC has a service where, for example, if I want to send a keg up to Dawson City, I just deliver it to the warehouse downtown here and they ship it up there for free as part of their service. I wouldn’t want to eliminate that portion of it.”

Hassard is confident YLC’s services wouldn’t be impacted. “It’s all about reducing red tape,” he said.

While direct sales would allow local producers to learn more about who is buying and drinking their beer, they would also have to hire more administrative staff.

“It would be a bit more work, but I wouldn’t see the harm in having it as an option as long as it didn’t eliminate the other side of the service that YLC provides of shipping around the territory for basically nothing,” said Marjanovic.

The YLC says it will review policies over the next year and consult with producers and the public.

YG promises carbon tax consultations as Yukon Party pushes for GST rebate Ashley Joannou News Reporter

T

he Yukon government says it will consult with Yukoners on the upcoming federal carbon tax but details about when that might happen are still not available.

Economic Development and Energy, Mines and Resources Minister Ranj Pillai said he’s planning more meetings with various organizations like the chambers of commerce and the chamber of mines sometime between now and the end of the month.

“I’m going to be having conversations with groups that are under my responsibility, which includes many Yukoners, between now and June 30,” he said.

That’s the deadline for Canadians to comment on the federal government’s technical paper, which lays

out plans for a carbon price “backstop” for jurisdictions that haven’t come up with their own plan by 2018.

Yukoners can comment on the technical paper via the federal environment department’s website.

The Yukon government will be holding broader public consultations on the topic, Pillai said. But according to cabinet officials that won’t be happening until some time after June.

The federal government has promised to look at the North’s unique circumstances when it comes to a carbon tax and possibly implement “sector specific” exemptions.

“Following this initial input phase (in June), the Yukon government will work with the federal government to give Yukoners an opportunity to provide input on the implementation of federal carbon

pricing,” Yukon government spokesperson Janine Workman said in an email.

Pillai said the government will be having conversations throughout the year as information comes from Ottawa.

“We’ve made that commitment, and we’ve been given that directive, that as we have information come in from Ottawa we take that back and consult to really understand how some of these strategies will affect sectors.”

The Yukon Party has spent the majority of this first sitting of the legislative assembly pushing the government for more details on the carbon tax plan.

The focus June 6 was on whether Yukoners would have GST they pay on carbon tax returned to them.

“In January and again in April, we asked the government to confirm that they

will ensure Yukoners also get this money back, but we have not received an answer yet,” said Opposition Leader Stacey Hassard.

“Can the government commit today that every single Yukoner will get (back) 100 per cent of the extra money they pay as a result of the carbon tax, including the increased amount they pay into the GST?” Pillai replied that the government is still working with Ottawa.

“As this process continues on, we continue to work with the federal government on the analysis, which is key to those questions that have been asked today and to the future implementation of this carbon-pricing backstop.”

Morgan elected as LFN chief ending months-long election saga Lori Garrison News Reporter

G

eorge Morgan is the new chief of the Liard First Nation, ending one chapter in the long, fraught and often contentious leadership debate for this Kaska nation.

Morgan defeated incumbent Chief Daniel Morris by a margin of 203 votes to 102. Don Magun recieievd 80 votes, while Dorothy Hayes took six.

“It’s a relief,” said Morgan. “I’m glad that this is over.”

“The immediate plan is for chief and council to convene,” he said. “We have some financial and administrative details to sort out.”

The vote comes after a six-month delay amid allegations of financial mismanagement and questionable electoral and leadership practices by Morris. The First Nation has been under third-party management since 2014 by Vancouver-based Ganhada Management Group.

“This is a victory for our democracy. This was really about defending our democracy,” said Morgan.

“We have to sit down as a community and look at our election law to make sure this never happens again.”

Morris could not be reached for comment by press time.

Morris was elected as chief in 2013. Morgan ran against Morris in that race, and lost by a slim margin.

Former chief Liard McMillan, whom Morris replaced, and whose decade-long run as chief was also marred by complaints about mismanagement and corruption, issued a

George Morgan has been elected chief of the Liard First Nation. statement supporting the new chief and council.

“I didn’t want to say too much with an election underway, but now that it is over I want to publicly express my congratulations to the new government and to express my hope that the nation can now begin to heal and move forward together,” McMillan said in his statement.

Morris’s official term as chief expired Dec. 14, 2016, without an election being called. The election was originally scheduled

for Dec. 15 but never took place. A group of LFN citizens took the First Nation to court over the delay.

That prompted Morris to hold a community meeting in early February to appoint an election committee. The meeting descended into a shouting match but the committee was successfully created.

The vote was rescheduled for April 10, but was delayed again after chief returning officer Lois Moorcroft, a former NDP MLA and cabinet minister,

abruptly resigned amid claims of legal threats against her.

“She (Moorcroft) said somebody was saying something to her,” election co-chair Emma Donnessy told the News at the time.

“She resigned because she thought it would be best for everyone if we did it in a fair and open transparent manner. Some of the people didn’t like the way things were run.”

Questions about the state of the First Nation’s finances have hung over

Morris’s term as chief.

Morgan couldn’t say why he thought Morris worked so hard to cling to his position even after his official term was over.

“I have no idea the machinations of his mind … there’s been no financial transparency for three and a half years — maybe that’s the reason,” he said. “We are currently suffering a financial crisis here and we have millions and millions of dollars that have not been reported on.”

This week’s results mean all of the First Nation’s elected officials are new.

Fred Lutz won the race for deputy chief. Alfred Chief, Dawn McDonald, Kathy Magun and Travis Stewart were elected as Yukon councillors. Malcolm Groat and Harlan Schilling were elected as councillors in Lower Post, B.C. Hayes, a candidate for chief, said there were

attempts at electoral fraud during this week’s vote, including intimidation. She also said someone tried to make off with a ballot box in Watson Lake. Morgan said that didn’t happen, although rumours were circulating in the community.

Morgan said he felt there was “lateral violence” and social division within the community as a result of the election.

“It’s hard to get people to speak out about it, I will agree with that,” he said.

“If your family doesn’t support a candidate and you do … there’s all kinds of lateral violence.”

“This (election was) all about fairness, transparency and leadership accountability,” Morgan said.

Taxpayers on hook for $1.8 million to shut down Kotaneelee well Lori Garrison News Reporter

Y

ukon taxpayers are on the hook for $1.8 million to fully abandon a gas well at the now-defunct Kotaneelee plant.

Minister of Energy Mines and Resources Ranj Pillai said in the legislative assembly June 5 that the estimated cost of abandonment for the well is $2.4 million. The original owner, EFLO Energy Inc.,

left a security deposit for $625,000 with the government of Yukon, not nearly enough to cover the full cost.

The Kotaneelee plant, located north of Watson Lake, first opened in 1977.

It ceased production in 2012 and has been mothballed ever since. It was the site of a spill of wastewater and lubricants in August 2015. When the government ordered ELFO to clean up the spill, it was discovered to be insolvent.

Three wells at the plant were turned over to Houston-based energy company, Apache, who was a shareholder in the wells.

The fourth and final well, however, was fully owned

by EFLO, and therefore became the property of the Yukon government.

Pillai admits this is a “significant cost to taxpayers … and significant cost to government.”

Abandonment is the process of fully shutting down a well to meet en-

vironmental and remediation standards, with the intention that it never be used again.

“It’s a shame that the public will have to pay at least $1.8 million to clean up what was a private industrial operation,” said NPD Leader Liz Hanson in a press release.

Pillai told the house that the government needs to ensure its oil and gas industry puts the proper security in place.

“I think that going

through the process in the Kotaneelee is going to give us a really a good runthrough of the process — making sure, seeing what costing looks like and then taking a look at what’s happening in north Yukon,” Pillai said.

In an interview Hansen said she has concerns about how this event will affect future mining and gas abandonments, such as the Eagle Plains operation by Northern Cross. She said this kind

of problem, where taxpayers are left holding the bag for clean ups by failed companies, is endemic in provinces where oil and gas extraction is well-established, such as Alberta.

“Companies have taken advantage of resources and leave the taxpayers with the bill … they walk away with the money and leave the mess,” she said.

“Hopefully the government realizes they have to do more due diligence.”

WildWise project urges tourists against feeding bears Lori Garrison News Reporter

A

new report from a Yukon group devoted to reducing conflicts between wildlife and people offers suggestions on how to prevent run-ins with bears.

The recommendations are part of WildWise Yukon’s 2017 annual progress report issued May 31.

“It’s a short read, but a worthwhile read,” Heather Ashthorn, executive director for WildWise said.

One of the biggest upcoming initiatives, Ashthorn said, is WildWise’s Skagway Road education project, which seeks to educate tourists about bears and safe and ethical bear viewing.

WildWise will put up signs along the road and the distribution of information pamphlets. Wildwise will also have people on the highway stopping at “places where we know tourists stop, where there are tour buses” to talk to

A grizzly bear feeds by the side of the South Klondike Highway near Carcross. WildWise Yukon released a report May 31 which contained information on how to prevent run-ins with bears them about bear safety and not feeding bears said Ashthorn.

The program was developed after concerns were raised about bears being food-conditioned in the area.

“This is our first project aimed at people who don’t live here,” she said. “We don’t know exactly where the problem is, but we are confident bears are being

fed in that area.”

Feeding bears is extremely dangerous for both the animals and people, she said, something tourists — who often come from areas where bears do not live in direct proximity to people — might not know.

“Tourists just don’t know,” she said. “If I were a tourist, I’d want to see a bear too.”

May 25 and is expected to appear in court June 14. He was suspended with pay in February. Crown prosecutor Noel Sinclair said the Public Prosecuction Service of Canada appointed an independent Crown counsel in order to avoid a conflict of interest.

The incident was reported to senior managers at Yukon RCMP shortly after it occurred, prompting a criminal investigation and an internal review by the RCMP. Police have yet to release the officer’s name. An RCMP spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In a news release, police said they would not release more information because the matter is before the courts.

It is also thought that some tour operators may be feeding bears in order to induce viewing opportunities, Ashthorn said.

“There’s a lot of tour operators and you’re going to get a few bad eggs, but there are lots of ethical operators,” she said.

The document offers a summary of the the organization’s most recent initiatives, including their trail sign project, electric fencing education and the development of bear teaching materials for public school students.

“Food conditioning is an ongoing problem,” Ashthorn said.

Food conditioned bears often lose their fear of people and are killed for safety reasons.

“Every time a bear is destroyed or seriously damages property, it’s a big event, it’s a big deal,” she said.

Whitehorse eyes new cycling infrastructure plan Lori Garrison News Reporter

C

onnectivity and safety were among the biggest issues cited

by Whitehorse cyclists at a bicycle network meeting June 5.

Cyclists, many of whom were members of the Facebook group Whitehorse Urban Cycling Coalition, met at the Frank Slim Building with members of city staff and representatives from the Vancouver-based consulting group Urban Systems to discuss the future of the city’s cycling infrastructure. They were invited to share their concerns, likes and dislikes about cycling in the city and participate in planning exercises to help build a cycling plan for the city.

Other issues identified included safety concerns, making biking more appealing to more people, negative interactions with drivers and Two Mile Hill, which several people said “dumps” riders out into heavy traffic on Fourth

Avenue.

The goal of the plan is to make cycling more accessible and appealing, to increase the number of cyclists in the city and reduce traffic.

“The purpose of this is to help identify a long-term cycling plan for Whitehorse,” said Sarah Freigang of Urban Systems.

“There is just not enough room for everyone to bring a car downtown,” said acting city manager of planning and sustainability, and avid cyclist, Mike Ellis.

“Bikes on roads cause a lot less wear and tear … there are huge economic incentives (to encourage cycling).

In 2011, cycling accounted for approximately three per cent of all commutes to work and school, said Glenda Koh, an environmental coordinator for the city. Koh said she believes those numbers are still accurate for 2016. The City of Whitehorse hopes to double that figure to six per cent by 2026.

Ellis said the city has identified three key areas as

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Whitehorse cyclists held a meeting with city staff and Urban Systems, a Vancouverbased consulting group, to discuss the city’s cycling infrastructure. potential sites for improvement that act as corridors to sections of the city: the Black Street stairs, Two Mile Hill, and the Riverdale bridge.

All three corridors connect to residential areas that are home to

many people who could be encouraged to bike into the downtown core more if the system were made more accessible to them, relieving congestion and parking issues, he said.

Cycling development has been stalled in the city

since 2004, when the city installed the existing bike lanes, said Forest Pearson, an avid cycler and member of the coalition.

“Since then, there’s not a lot going on,” he said. “We had the bridge expanded and that’s been great, but

everything else has been done in ad hoc pieces since then.”

Some of the conflicts that arise between cyclists and drivers have to do with the way space has been traditionally allocated within the city, said Ellis.

“Roads are public land,” he said. “I think there is an argument to be made that there is unequal use of public land which is just treated as normal … cars have been traditionally given a huge amount of space.

It’s really easy to get around downtown in car.”

“There’s a certain status quo about how we divvy up our roads and having a (cycling) plan like this one challenges that.”

The total budget to develop the plan, which is city-funded, is $15,000.

The city hopes to have a draft plan for the end of June and a final plan ready for September that will tie into the larger downtown and Marwell-area planning initiatives already underway.

Seven garden army: nasty species of cutworm attacking Yukon gardens Lori Garrison News Reporter

A

n infestation of black army cutworms in the Takhini River valley and Lake Laberge area has some residents keeping a close eye on their gardens.

There are several species of cutworm native to the Yukon, said Randy Lamb, an agrologist and insect specialist with the Yukon government’s agriculture branch.

The worms target leafy plants and earn their name through their destructive

habit of feeding. They cut seedlings off at the base and devour them, leaving only a little green nub poking up out of the soil.

“That’s why they call them army cutworms … they move en masse,” he said.

Most species feed independently but black army cutworms have an unusual quirk. The pests can amass by the thousands in a squirming black mass, feeding and moving together, like an actual army. This unusual behaviour is a protective adaptation against

predators such as robins.

Moving in such huge numbers reduces an individual’s chance of being eaten, said Lamb, because even a very hungry bird can only eat 20 or 30 bugs at one time.

“People with market gardens should be on the lookout,” he said.

Black army cutworms do not always amass in this way, said Lamb, but only when there is a sudden increase in the population, similar to lemmings or locusts. The insects have exhausted their usual food source — precisely what

they eat in non-swarm years is not entirely known — and are on the move in order to feed.

“Pest of the year, that’s what I’m calling it,” said Lamb.

These population increases are part of a natural cycle, said Lamb, occurring every every five to 10 years.

The last reported cases of outbreaks like this were in the late 1990s. “(The cutworms) have been there all along,” he said. “It’s just that you don’t usually see more than five or 10 at a time.”

“If you find a hot spot, there can be thousands.”

The worms emerge in late April or early May and finish their feeding in mid-June.

Lamb expects the cutworms to be finished their feeding cycle in the next week or so.

Lamb said there are environmentally-friendly options for pest control, such as specialized bacteria that only target moth larvae.

He warns against using standard pesticides, because by the time they are applied the worms will either have moved on or pupated.

Black army cutworms are

black with a grey stripe and active during the day. What plants the insects find most attractive during this swarming period is unknown, said Lamb. The worms seem to prefer the Takhini and Shallow Bay areas.

If you find the worms in your garden, you can call Yukon Agriculture at 667-5838 to report what kind of plants they are feeding on. This information can be useful in predicting and managing future outbreaks of black army cutworms, said Lamb.

COMMENTARY Time for the Pope to apologize for residential schools

T

he Catholic Church moves slowly, but it does move.

It took the church more than half a century to say sorry for the complicity of some Christians in the Holocaust. It took 500 years for it to express regret for persecuting Protestants during the Reformation. And Pope John Paul II apologized for atrocities committed during the Crusaders’ attack on Constantinople almost eight centuries after they happened.

By that glacial standard, Pope Francis appears to be moving at lightning speed toward a papal apology for the church’s role in Canada’s residential school tragedy.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emerged from a meeting with the Pope at the Vatican this week to say that Francis seemed open to the idea and had offered to work with him on a “path forward” toward a formal apology.

The prime minister deserves credit for pressing the Pope directly on this important issue, sensitive as it is for the church. And Canada’s Catholic bishops should do all they can to clear the way for the Pope to issue a public apology as soon as possible – if at all possible on Canadian soil.

Such a move, however delayed, would carry great symbolic weight. Catholic organizations were responsible for running about three-quarters of the residential schools, whose legacy of sexual, physical and mental abuse still hangs heavily over Canada’s relations with its Indigenous peoples.

Other churches — the Anglicans, Presbyterians and United Church — long ago made their formal apologies for taking part in the residential school system. But the Catholic Church has invoked a variety of legalistic excuses to avoid making the full, forthright, authoritative apology that is called for, considering the lasting damage wrought by the schools.

Some 16 Catholic dioceses and several dozen religious communities were associated with residential schools in Canada going back to the late 19th century, as part of a government-sponsored effort to assimilate Indigenous people. But the bishops’ organization has emphasized that all those entities are legally responsible for their own actions. The church as a whole and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, they say, were not associated

with the schools.

The Catholic groups involved with the schools issued their own apology for abuse way back in 1991. And in 2006 they were part of the class action settlement reached with survivors of the schools.

The missing piece is a formal apology from the church as a whole, right from the top. The bishops may well be correct that the church cannot be held legally responsible. But they should look beyond that to the good they and the Pope could do by issuing a frank, public expression of remorse along with a pledge to help heal the wounds.

The papacy has already taken a step along this road. In 2009 Pope Benedict, Francis’s predecessor, expressed “sorrow” for suffering in the residential school system, and offered his “sympathy and prayerful solidarity” for those who suffered abuse.

That came during a private meeting with Canadian bishops and Indigenous leaders at the Vatican. It wasn’t the public apology that the 80,000 survivors of residential schools have long sought.

Pope Francis should take a big step forward by complying with the recommendation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that a full papal apology be issued on Canadian soil, so that survivors and other Indigenous people can be present to witness it.

Getting the Pope, of all people, to come all that way to make such a dramatic gesture sounds like a major undertaking. But if any Catholic leader might be prepared to do it, it would be Francis, who has shown particular

sensitivity to issues of social justice.

He set an important precedent two years ago when he visited Bolivia and issued an historic apology for the “grave sins” of the church against Indigenous peoples during the colonization of the Americas. “I humbly ask forgiveness, not only for the offences of the church herself, but also for crimes committed against the native peoples during the so-called conquest of America,” he told a summit meeting of Indigenous leaders.

It would be entirely in keeping with that statement for the Pope to express regret and apologize for the church’s role in Canada’s residential school system.

In fact, CBC News reported late last year that some Catholic bishops and Indigenous leaders were working to bring Francis to Saskatchewan this year to issue such an apology for what happened in the residential schools. Archbishop Donald Bolen of Regina was part of that effort and told CBC at the time, “We need to heal and move on.”

As it turned out, that visit never happened.

But in light of Trudeau’s visit this week and Francis’s apparent willingness to consider an apology, it’s time for the bishops and others to revive efforts to right this historic wrong.

The Catholic Church as a whole should move beyond arguments over who is legally responsible for past actions. For its own sake and the sake of the survivors, it should get on the right side of efforts to heal the wounds that still remain.

Much better to do it late than to continue dodging an historic responsibility.

take priority over wild animals. Electric fencing needs to be mandatory — not a choice — if we truly don’t want to kill bears or other wildlife.

But the very sad reality and hypocrisy here is that the Department of Environment issues permits for the legal destruction of both black and grizzly bears in the spring and fall every year. These bears that do not bother anyone and yet they are killed because the department

sees them as resources and not for who they truly are: sentient beings that deserve to have their own lives to themselves.

Human-wildlife conflicts definitely need attention. End the hypocrisy as well, if we truly want to protect bears and other wildlife.

Simple narratives never tell the whole story

I

t seems like such a dreadfully obvious thing to point out, but some of the things that happen in the world happen for more than one reason. The cliche is that things happen for a reason. But things happen for rarely just one reason.

The world is complicated — too complicated for us it seems — so we humans like narratives that compact a lot of information into simple formulations. We want to understand why certain things happen and we want it boiled down into a few sentences to maintain our short attention spans.

Case in point: Hillary Clinton has been slowly emerging from the

shadows after months of maintaining a low profile since her inexplicable (and for some, unexpected) loss last November.

Her re-emergence has led to a rehashing of her electoral post-mortem.

There aren’t enough words available in this column to enumerate the myriad narratives that have sprung up to explain the results of that particularly bizarre election.

Trump’s victory and Clinton’s loss have been attributed to fake news, Russian interference, voter suppression, James Comey’s November surprise, her emails, John Podesta’s emails, identity politics, the middle American backlash to identity politics, Wikileaks, Donald Trump’s celebrity, strategic errors by an overconfident Clinton campaign, economic malaise in the Rust Belt, a pathological hatred of the Democratic Party by the American right, sexism, a desire to preserve a certain ideological balance on

the Supreme Court, disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporters, and Clinton’s inherent weakness as a candidate.

The reality — which ought to be self-evident — is that it was all of the above.

Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com has constructed a pretty solid statistical argument that Comey’s announcement that the FBI was reopening its investigation into Clinton’s emails in the dying days of the campaign led to a swing in the vote that moved the needle enough to cost her the election.

But critics of that theory note the announcement would not even have been an issue if Clinton hadn’t made the mistake of keeping her emails on an insecure home server in the first place. And things wouldn’t have been close enough for such a relatively mundane scandal to matter if the country wasn’t so intensely polarized that people would tolerate the likes

of Donald Trump. Nor would they be so close if voters — and particularly supporters of Bernie Sanders — didn’t perceive (rightly or wrongly) that she was too close with Wall Street’s monied elite.

And perhaps Clinton could have pulled out a victory despite Comey’s intervention if her campaign hadn’t been so overconfident and moved resources out of states that she thought she had in the bag in hopes of enlarging what was expected to be a significant electoral college victory.

Political outcomes are the products of a recipe.

We can debate the importance of each ingredient, but, just as you can’t bake a loaf of bread with flour alone, you can’t attribute an electoral outcome to any one factor.

There is nothing inherently wrong with the use of narratives to understand politics. There were 127 million people who voted in last November’s presidential election.

Each of them went to the polls motivated by

their own assortment of thoughts about and assessments of the two candidacies.

But if you interviewed each voter you aren’t going to get 127 million completely different answers either. Themes would emerge and the narratives I enumerated above serve a useful explanatory purpose.

What bothers me is our tendency towards absolutism. It isn’t enough to see some narratives as being more compelling than others. Some are just all wrong and others are all right. When Clinton went on TV, as she did recently, and laid out a number of factors that she felt contributed to her loss she was accused of “blaming everyone but herself.” It couldn’t simply be that there were a lot of different factors at play. The only explanation for such a long laundry list, if you listen to Clinton’s critics, is sour grapes.

To make matters worse we like to see these things through our own ideolog-

ical and partisan glasses.

If you like Clinton and can’t see (as I admittedly don’t) how a Trump presidency could possibly be seen as preferable to a Clinton presidency, you might downplay her flaws — seeing them as mistaken perceptions created by decades of unfair media treatment rather than a reflection of reality.

If, for whatever reason, you are one of those people who is satisfied with the results of last November’s vote, it is likely all about Clinton’s various character flaws and failures (that or you’re one of those people who just wants to see the whole thing burn to the ground). Russian hacking, sexism, and voter suppression are seen as the excuses losers make for putting forward a weak candidate.

Conceding that the result was a complex mix of factors, for whatever reason, is unpopular.

THE ARTS

Mural festival to transform Whitehorse into one big art gallery

Sharon Nadeem News Reporter

T

urn onto Ogilvie Street and you’re greeted by the smell of burgers and hotdogs.

Kids stand around a barbecue, listening to a rap song that just dropped and discuss their latest project.

This is the scene at the Youth of Today Society every day of the week.

The society, established in 1999 for high-risk youth, provides meals every day for anyone who shows up.

It also offers laundry and shower facilities but its main goal is running an arts program to train youth in digital art, film and animation.

Their latest project is taking on a whole new dimension. Along with InnerVibe, Youth Of Today is hosting the Yukon Heritage Mural Art Festival in Whitehorse from May 27 to July 14.

The two-month festival involves 14 kids and five professional artists painting 11 murals around Whitehorse. Six of them will be painted downtown, including the Staples and Chamber of Mines buildings, and the other five will be in the Kwanlin Dün First Nation neighbourhood of McIntyre.

These aren’t just any kind of murals. Each of them have been specifically designed with a theme in mind. Lancelot Burton, executive director of the society, is an artist himself and was involved in the planning process.

“The mural festival is a celebration of First Nations art and culture. There is a lot going on right now with the MMIWG (inquiry) and problems of child abuse.

Some of these issues are being touched on in the mural project,” he says.

The goal of the festival is to get the youth involved, bringing attention to some of the issues they face by transforming the city into an open art gallery.

“Most people don’t even know what truth and reconciliation is. Hopefully, this festival changes that and gets people to start asking questions,” Burton says.

The project brings together both Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, each bringing their own experience and style to the murals. Rebecca

An artist’s rendition of a mural is seen on the side of Blood Ties Four Directions. The Youth of Today Society and InnerVibe is hosting the Yukon Heritage Mural Art Festival in Whitehorse from May 27th to July 14th.

Kristen Law is a graphic designer and animator who has been mentoring the kids involved with the project. Working with Indigenous artists and kids has been a learning experience for her as well.

“First Nations art is special to me because I don’t understand it and I don’t do it. So, I treasure it and honor it,” she says.

Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Law is inspired by the island’s style of art.

She shares her art with the kids and in turn they teach her about their art. For her, this sharing and learning process is an integral part of her growth as an artist.

Often, the kids she mentors end up being mentors themselves.

Ali Khouda, a young artist, has been involved with several murals around the

Fourteen youth will paint 11 murals around the city during the festival.

city. He says he wouldn’t be where he is right now without the guidance of Indigenous artists.

“I was trained by Tlingit artists,” he says. “They took me in like family and didn’t look at me like any other student.”

Khouda moved to Whitehorse from Iran when he was 15. He works with traditional calligraphy that has been passed on to him by his family. To him, this is reminiscent of First Nations art and the reason it drew him in.

“Art is our heritage and a way of communication our ancestors used to pass on the stories,” he says.

He says it was an honour for him when his Tlingit teachers shared their art with him. It’s what drives him to teach what he learns to the children he works with. He thinks art is a way to keep the culture alive.

“A lot of the [First Nations] culture was saved through the art. Art has been a huge part of reconciliation in terms of bringing the culture back.

It’s a rope to the past that they still have their hands on and can pull it in,” he says.

Daniel Benjamin Gribben is working closely with Khouda on the murals.

Gribben is from the Talhtan First Nation and has been involved with multiple projects around the city, including carving totem poles and dugout canoes.

But for him, the mural festival stands out in its way of bringing people together.

“Nobody really comes and paints and carves with us in the other projects.

With this one, anybody that feels like painting on the wall, they can,” he says.

Members of the public are encouraged to come join the artists and students painting around the city. Gribben believes that it’s a way to build a community and unite people.

He hopes that festivals like this one help to inspire hope and change.

Law agrees that the project goes beyond just a painting on a wall.

“We’re trying to create relationships that will continue past painting a wall,” she says. “You know, you paint a wall and then what’s next? For us, it’s each other.”

Families of missing, murdered Indigenous women share hopes for future of inquiry Laura Kane Canadian Press

WHITEHORSE elatives who poured out heart-wrenching stories of their missing or murdered loved ones in Yukon say the national inquiry must keep listening and adapting as it moves on to other communities.

The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls heard its first public testimony in Whitehorse last week and commissioners will spend the summer

R

preparing for the next hearings in the fall.

The hearings, held inside a large white tent next to the Yukon River, were a “testing” to make sure the inquiry has it right when it goes elsewhere, said Chief Commissioner Marion Buller.

Buller said it takes time to develop relationships with families, elders, traditional healers and support workers in each location.

“It would be very unfair and very unrealistic of us to just arrive uninvited into a town or a city and set up for

a hearing. That would be so disrespectful of the people and their land,” she said in a recent interview.

“There’s no such thing as an inquiry in a can that you just open up and it creates itself. It takes a lot of groundwork to do this right.”

Shaun LaDue testified about his mother, who he said was beaten to death after he was taken from her as a baby. He said when the commissioners first came to Whitehorse in April for an advisory meeting, they were talking too much instead of

listening.

He confronted them with the criticism, they thanked him and adapted, he said.

“I think southern Canada, especially, is going to be pleasantly surprised when the commissioners get to their community and say, ‘OK, how would you like us to proceed?’ ” he said.

“People will realize that they are being heard and it’s powerful.”

Doris Anderson, president of the Yukon Aboriginal Women’s Council, said the commission needs to

meet first with local grassroots groups like hers and continue to seek their help.

“They understand the families. They know the families. They’ve built trust with the families and that’s the first place they go,” she said.

Lawyer Joan Jack, whose sister-in-law Barbara Jack was murdered, was among the inquiry’s most outspoken critics in Whitehorse.

She said the inquiry should be based on Indigenous law and the lead lawyer should also be indigenous.

“From what I’ve experi-

enced … they’ve got some internal developmental challenges that they need to reconcile before they hit the ground in the fall again,” she said.

Inquiry spokeswoman Bernee Bolton said it’s critical that the inquiry hires the right people and it’s proud of its legal team, which has both Indigenous and non-Indigenous lawyers.

She said the inquiry respects the ground work done by grassroots organizations and outreach to them is part of community relations efforts.

Piloted by Matthew Kutryk, who spent part of his childhood in Whitehorse, the fighter jet swoops and banks like a supersonic bird of prey during the 20-minute demonstration.

Yukon Roller Girls jammer Codi “Baddie Banks” Ingram tries to break through the Fairbanks wall during the Klondike Gold Krush at the Mt. McIntyre Rec Centre on June 3. The Fairbanks Rollergirls won 157-116.

Tom Patrick News Reporter

S

ix years ago the Yukon Roller Girls played their first bout in Whitehorse, beating the Fairbanks Rollergirls by over 50 points.

The Fairbanks derby team returned to Whitehorse this past weekend and the outcome was noticeably different.

The visiting team defeated the YRG 157-116 in a low-scoring bout called the Klondike Gold Krush at the Mt. McIntyre Rec Centre on June 3.

“I think both teams really concentrated on defence instead of offence,”

said YRG president Christy “Crack-Her” Huey. “You could see that with the strong, solid walls where the jammers are getting tired having to push and you’re constantly reabsorbing them. If there’s a solid wall there’s not that franticness of having to hit people, where you get the injuries.

“I think both teams concentrated on keeping everyone safe. It is a contact sport but you have to be mindful of your body.”

Though the YRG didn’t log the win, they did showcase new talent. Five members of the team were competing in their first at-home bout, including

Huey and Codi “Baddie Banks” Ingram, who was named Yukon’s MVP jammer.

“We were really excited,” said Ingram. “We had a lot of support from each other and our friends and it’s nice to see we can do these things here.

“I feel like we won because we had fun and we played safe.”

The Krush was closer than the final score indicates with Fairbanks up by 66-51 at half. Down 119-90 late in the game, Yukon jammer Andrea “Honey Badger” Badger scored 18 points to pull her team to within 11. YRG even closed the gap to 119-15,

but with three minutes left the wheels came off when the home team fell into penalty trouble, sending Fairbanks on a string of power jams.

“There were some opportune times where not only was their jammer in the box, one of their blockers was in the box,” said Fairbanks assistant captain Katlian “Minifridge” Stark.

“So our jammers didn’t have to deal with a full lineup of four … that definitely made those last couple of jams really beneficial to us.”

“They got the power jam and that was the big difference,” said Huey. “They had a really solid jammer

that was really quick and she managed to squeeze by three lines and that’s 15 points right there.”

Saturday’s bout was just the second in Whitehorse in over three years. The YRG lost 220-76 to the Sea to Sky Sirens from Squamish, B.C., last September in Whitehorse.

But the YRG did notch a win a couple of weeks ago at a B.C. tournament/boot camp in Terrace. Seven Yukon rookies, all playing their first bouts, notched a win over Prince George but fell to Terrace and Quesnel at the event.

“It was a rookie team; we had zero veterans with us,” said Huey, who was named the YRG’s MVP blocker on Saturday. “We got better. The first game we got slaughtered, the second game was close — within 10 or 20 points — and the last game we won.”

The previous time Yukon and Fairbanks met

on the flat track was at the United We Roll Roller Derby Tournament — the Alaska state championship — in 2013. The YRG won the bout and went on to win the state championship.

The next two years the YRG struggled to keep a team together and entered a period of inactivity. If anything, the Klondike Gold Krush confirmed the YRG are back and ready to go. They hope to host another bout by the end of summer, said Huey.

“We came into the game knowing there were going to be a lot of new skaters on Yukon’s team, but we didn’t want to go in thinking we were going to win,” added Stark. “It was a much closer game than I thought it was going to be. I was super impressed by the Yukon ladies. They were great, really solid.”

otorcycle racing comes with inherent risks. Whitehorse’s Mia Raymond was reminded of that over the weekend.

At the start of the mini bike race at the Mosquito Enduro-X event hosted by the Yukon Cross Country Motorcycle Association (YCCMA) south of Whitehorse on June 4, the 10-year-old ran into trouble.

Metres from the start line Raymond toppled over and found herself trapped under a competitor’s bike. Spectators and organizers stormed the track to pull the bike off her as others stopped the race.

But Raymond wasn’t done for the day. Just as the race was about to restart, she could be heard saying from the sideline: “I still want to race.” To the surprise of

seemingly everyone, she got back on her bike and did the race.

“I didn’t want to stay out of the race because I still wanted to race,” said Raymond. “I hadn’t raced since last year so I was really looking forward to it. I didn’t want to wreck the first one, so I wanted to get back out again. It wasn’t my leg or anything, so I couldn’t not ride. I could still ride so I wanted to get up and do it again.”

Raymond, who had on all the mandatory safety gear, set a good example for other young racers, said Raymond’s mom Laura Whitty.

“She got back out right away and gave her — it’s all I could ask for,” she said. “You might fall down, but you get back up and finish the race.”

The endurocross — a series of short races in which riders are awarded points for placements — was held at the Schirmer Family Ranch

White Wolf slices up wins at world championships

Things looked grim for Canada in the melee when Hanuluk suffered a shoulder injury in an early round. “I think it popped out and back in — that sort of thing — and he got taken off the field,” said Pearson. “So our last round against Japan we only had four fighters. They met us on the field with only four fighters as well. They could have come with their full five, but it’s honourable in the group fights to meet your opponent with what they can present. In the final round we beat them, finally.”

Canada dropped contests against Denmark, Mexico, and the U.S. in the melees. They also shed blood.

“Against Mexico they were close fights. In the

Company of the White Wolf’s Land Pearson raises his axe in victory during a demonstration at the Yukon Roller Girls bout June 3. Pearson was one of five from White Wolf to compete at the medieval combat world championships in Denmark May 25-28.

Tom Patrick News Reporter

I

f not for Yukon’s Company of the White Wolf, Canada would not likely be represented on the medieval combat world stage.

For the second year in a row, White Wolf made up the vast majority of Team Canada at the International Medieval Combat Federation World Championships in Spottrup, Denmark, May 25-28.

“I was quite pleased,” said White Wolf’s Land Pearson, president of the Yukon Medieval Combat Group. “We pretty much improved in every category.

“I think everyone did

quite well. There was a lot of chatter on the internet back home in Canada, seeing it and being very excited, talking about wanting to be there next year.”

Five members of the Yukon company competed at the championships.

Mayo’s Jose Amoedo, who is the captain of White Wolf, represented his native Spain and took bronze in the polearm.

The other four Yukoners — Pearson, Lance Gadsby, John Hanuluk and Dale Braga — joined forces with Alberta’s Sam Desaulniers to make up Team Canada.

With a team of only five, the five-on-five melees (group fights) were a grind for Canada — especially against Team Japan. With

three rounds ending in ties, it took Canada six rounds to capture victory over the Japanese team.

“This year there was

first round it was down to Dale versus one of the Mexican fighters and Dale was taken out of the fight because one of the straps had become undone on his shoulder. That’s considered armour failure and they don’t want to risk anyone getting hurt, so when they see that they sit you down,” said Pearson.

“I think he could have taken that opponent. In the second round Dale got injured. His hand got split open and needed some stitches. There’s a video going around of two Mexicans beating up on him and him taking a knee, but it was more that he was injured, had lots of fights left, and needed to get that fixed.”

Pearson and Desaulniers also competed in individual events. Pearson won his pool in sword and shield before losing against a Spaniard in the elimination round, placing eighth. He also won one

fight — against the only Australian at the worlds — and lost two in the men’s longsword competition.

Desaulniers defeated a fighter from Japan for a win in polearm but dropped his other two fights in the event.

“It was really good.

It was in Denmark so I expected grey and rainy all the time but instead it was probably better weather than (last year in) Portugal,” said Pearson.

“It was sunny most days, which could be a little hot for fighting, but we had to have good mental fortitude to deal with that.”

Next year’s IMCF world championship will take place in Scotland in May. The Company of the White Wolf, which currently has about 25 members, will host the third annual Great Northern Tourney on Canada Day at the Biathlon Yukon range.
