W

hitehorse city council awarded July 24 the construction contract for the new operations building to local company Ketza Construction, which put in a bid of approximately $39.2 million for the project — about $3.8 million less than city experts had estimated the contract would cost.

The city received four bids for the contract, of which Ketza’s was the lowest. Two other bids were also lower than the city estimate of $43 million.

Council also adopted a bylaw authorizing a loan of up to $18.8 million to help fund the project, which has a total estimated budget of nearly $55 million. The federal government will also be contributing up to $23 million for the project via the gas tax fund.

The new structure, expected to be completed in spring 2019, will replace the current aging operations building and house Whitehorse’s fleet maintenance, waste and water services, transit, engineering and other operations departments.

Mayor Dan Curtis called Monday a “very exciting day,” adding he “couldn’t be more happy” with the bids the city received.

Coun. Samson Hartland was the lone dissenting vote on both the awarding of the contract and the loan bylaw.

Hartland said he remains opposed to the project and the city taking on such a significant amount of debt.

Other councillors, however, expressed excitement

and relief that the project was finally moving forward.

In other council business: Council moves closer to adding $1M to Marwell project A proposed bylaw to increase the budget for the Marwell lift station upgrade by $1 million unanimously passed first and second reading.

The proposed bylaw came at the recommendation of the city’s operations committee, which said the increased costs are the result of delays caused by “unforeseen conditions,” a lone higher-than-estimated bid to replace the process piping and the decision to put in a protective liner for the wet well.

The committee is also recommending the city use the money to amend its contract with Ketza Construction for the bypass vault project portion of the upgrade by $274,000 and award a $2.7 million contract to Wildstone Construction and Engineering for the process piping replacement.

The proposed bylaw will be up for its third and final reading at the regular council meeting Aug. 7. If approved, the additional funds would come from the gas tax fund or, failing that, the water and sewer reserve.

Councillors squabble over proposed $5,000 Red Cross donation for B.C. wildfires In the lengthiest debate of the night, city council ultimately voted down a proposal by Coun. Dan Boyd to donate $5,000 to the Ca-

nadian Red Cross to aid with British Columbia wildfire relief efforts.

Curtis and councillors Roselyn Woodcock and Jocelyn Curteanu voted against the idea, because the city was nearing the limit of its donation budget for the year and it would be unfair to taxpayers and city departments to take money from other funds. All three said a donation was a good idea, but would not vote in favour of it without knowing where the money would come from.

On the other hand, Boyd argued that there were “numerous reserves” the city could tap into and that there was about $4,200 remaining in the donation budget, meaning the city would only be $800 short. Both Boyd and Hartland said they’d be willing to contribute their own personal funds to make up the difference, and Coun.

Betty Irwin said it seemed funny council was “quibbling” over a few thousand dollars when it had just pushed ahead on multi-million-dollar contracts for the Marwell lift station upgrades and operations building.

Proposed business licence bylaw passes first readings A proposed business licence bylaw that would give designated officers the power to deny, suspend or revoke a licence to someone with a criminal conviction unanimously passed first and second readings.

Parts of the proposed bylaw were amended or clarified from their original language to address concerns that they could be in violation of the Yukon

Human Rights Act which prohibits discrimination based on criminal charges or criminal records. The bylaw now says the city could deny, suspend or revoke a licence to someone with a criminal conviction “based on reasonable grounds” and if doing so would be in the public interest.

A proposed amendment to the vehicle-for-hire bylaw that would make company owners and operators comply with the business licence bylaw also passed first and second readings.

Land disposition policy updates ushered in Eligible non-profit organizations will no longer have to pay non-refundable deposits when buying certain pieces of city land, thanks to an updated version of the land disposition policy.

The policy, unanimously approved by council, outlines how the city sells its land, regulating everything from methods to prices to closing dates.

With the updated policy, non-profit organizations that buy multi-family, townhouse, commercial, industrial and mixed-use lots or unserviced land from the city will no longer have to pay a non-refundable deposit equal to five per cent of the purchase price when asking for a time extension for a sale agreement. All other parties will still have to pay the deposit.

The update was triggered by the Challenge-Disability Resource Group buying the lot at 704 Main St. to build affordable housing.

Forty bears killed so far this year Lori Garrison News Reporter

T

he number of bears killed this season as a result of human-animal conflict in the Yukon is “unusually high,” Yukon conservation officials say.

To date, 40 bears have been killed Yukon-wide, said conservation officer Aaron Koss-Young. This puts the Yukon “on par” to match the record for bear deaths in the territory, which occurred in 2012, when 61 bears were killed.

Last year 23 bears — 15 black and eight grizzlies — were killed in the territory.

“This is especially a lot when you consider that there is still three months of possible bear activity left in the season,” KossYoung said. “Most of this started in May.” These numbers represent animals killed legally by both conservation officers and by people who find themselves in a situation where their property is being damaged or they’re being threatened by a bear and they kill the animal for their own safety.

The most recent bear death — a female adult black bear — happened in the Whistle Bend subdivision July 23. A woman walking her dog off-leash encountered the bear along the trails and reported it to conservation officers. Officers “assessed its behaviour for quite some time,” Koss-Young said.

The animal was acting aggressively and, due to its

proximity to people, the officers decided to kill it.

A cub, estimated to be between one and two years of age, was discovered shortly after the sow — thought to be the cub’s mother — was killed.

Koss-Young said the cub’s likelihood of survival is unknown, but is thought to be around 40 per cent.

Conservation officers were not aware that there was a cub with the sow at the time of their decision, Koss-Young said, adding that the sow may have been agitated by the presence of the dog.

The majority of bears killed this season were black bears, Koss-Young said. Black bears tend to be more curious and more tolerant of humans, he said.

The majority of these animal deaths have occurred in Whitehorse and Dawson, said KossYoung. Nine bears have been killed in Whitehorse and 11 in Dawson, with Dawson being “extremely active.” The rest of the kills were spread out across the territory.

“Dawson has probably had to translocate twice as many as (the number they’ve had to kill),” said Koss-Young.

Koss-Young said the high numbers this year are due to the late arrival of spring vegetation and a successful breeding season last year, which has resulted in more cubs. This has driven bears towards other food sources.

“They are driven to seek out other food sources,

With so many bear deaths this year, it begs the question of what can be done to reduce conflicts between bears and humans.

“Most of these bear deaths can be prevented…. They’re the result of food conditioning,” KossYoung said. “People are

being lazy — it all comes down to human behaviour.

“We want people to be voluntarily compliant — we don’t want to have to charge people — but we need to have that at our disposal.”

Koss-Young said education, especially for farmers, is key, as well as managing attractants, like garbage and livestock.

Electric fencing, especially for poultry, is also key, he

said.

Koss-Young said there has been increased bear activity in the Mendenhall area where there is a high concentration of farms with poultry. Conservation Officers will be holding an electric fence workshop July 27 at 7 p.m. at the Mendenhall Firehall to help address this issue, he said.

Changes to the way garbage is handled, especially

in rural communities, is also important, he said.

“Yeah, it might be $500 for a bear proof bin, but it’s a one-time cost that will save bears and save us money in the long run because conservation officers won’t be off chasing bear activity all the time,” he said.

“It’s got to be a financial solution.”

Contaminated soil at F.H. Collins now tops 900 cubic metres Ashley Joannou News Reporter

T

he amount of contaminated soil found under the old F.H. Collins school has ballooned to 900 cubic metres and the environment department isn’t finished cleaning up yet.

Environment Yukon released its latest update on the state of the property July 24. Workers continue to remove dirty soil from the ground after they discovered more contamination than expected while demolishing the school last month.

Cleanup crews have reached the edge of the contamination in most directions, the department’s

spokesperson Roxanne Stasyszyn said in an email.

Areas to the north and southeast of the school are still being cleaned up.

“While we cannot be certain until we have reached the limits of contamination in all directions, we anticipate another one to two weeks to complete excavation of all contaminated soil.

Once all contaminated soil is removed, we will continue to monitor groundwater through wells installed at the site.”

The mess is blamed on heating oil that leaked out of the school’s old underground tanks. Officials originally thought they were just dealing with a small leak under the old school’s foundation.

When demolition of that part of the school began last month, officials found the old heating system actually had small holes causing even more fuel to leak.

No one can say how long fuel had been leaking out of the pinholes. The tanks were removed in 2009.

The F.H. Collins site is about 400 metres from one of the wells connected to the Selkirk Aquifer, the source of Whitehorse’s drinking water.

Tests on the drinking water have come back clean, Stasyszyn said.

Officials have said from the beginning that the risk to the city’s drinking water is low. The contamination is shallower than the level

from which the drinking water is drawn.

Groundwater not used for drinking has been contaminated. As crews remove contaminated soil they have also been taking out the ground water at the bottom of the excavated holes.

To date, 15,000 gallons of water has been removed, Stasyszyn said. The water will be treated at a local facility.

Stasyszyn estimates remediation work has cost about $400,000 so far.

A list provided by the Yukon’s Department of Highways and Public Works lists 17 underground fuel tanks still installed at Yukon government buildings.

The old F.H. Collins

system, where the surprise pinholes were discovered, was built in the 1960s, officials have previously said.

At least three of the sites left on the government’s to-do list also have systems installed in the ’60s. That includes the grader station in Watson Lake, the airport terminal in Mayo and the St. Elias Community School. Some tanks on the list don’t include the year they were installed.

The government is in the process of removing all underground tanks connected to government buildings.

Public works spokesperson Brittanee Stewart said the department is scheduled to remove four more tanks this fiscal year.

One of them is at the Teen

Parent Centre in Riverdale, she said. That’s not an older tank — it was installed in 1995 — but it’s being removed because of where it is located. She didn’t know which other three tanks had been chosen for this year or when the older tanks are slated to be removed.

“All of the fuel tanks are evaluated on a case-bycase basis and the age of the tank, the building age, the fuel tank testing results and environmental implications all factor into tank removal decision making.”

Plans to remove tanks have not been accelerated after what was found under F.H. Collins, she said.

Trashing tipping fees would cost taxpayers millions, city says Jamie-Lee McKenzie News Reporter

R

emoving tipping fees from the Whitehorse landfill would increase the tax burden by $2.5 million, says the city’s environmental coordinator, Bryna Cable.

Waste management is paid for with tipping fees charged for dropping off garbage at the dump, not through property tax revenue, said Cable.

Without tipping fees not only would the tax load increase, but it would mean that every person would have to pay the same amount for their waste regardless of how much garbage they create, she said.

“So you really want to have a tipping fee system whereby the more waste you produce, the more waste you have to pay for,” she said.

Every person who has garbage and organics collected at the curb pays a percentage of the tipping fees. So either you’re paying a tipping fee directly at the dump or you’re paying as part of your utility bill, said Cable.

“Waste costs money, a tremendous amount of money.”

Recently the Humane Society Yukon pleaded with Whitehorse residents to stop dumping unwanted items at the Mae Bachur Animal Shelter. Several residents have been posting on Facebook recently about their annoyance at illegal dumping.

“It’s a visual issue that as a community we can all agree is not an acceptable thing,” said Cable.

Since the closing of Raven Recycling’s free store and the Salvation Army’s thrift store, it seems peo-

Garbage bags are loaded onto a truck after a Whitehorse community cleanup challenge in 2016. ple have began dumping their garbage wherever they don’t have to pay tipping fees.

But not everyone is spitefully leaving their unwanted couches and old appliances in the woods to avoid paying the tipping fees, said Cable. The most

common type of illegal dumping that the city is seeing is people using someone else’s dumpster to get rid of their garbage.

Cable said the city’s main focus in addressing illegal dumping is getting people to report it. There are different ways to report

illegal dumping, including the via the city’s waste sorting app.

Once illegal dumping is reported bylaw will investigate, but more importantly it will get cleaned up, said Cable.

First chinook of the season spotted at Whitehorse fish ladder

fish ladder spotted the first chinook salmon of the year the morning of July 23, meaning the migration has made its way to the city.

The wild chinook, a female, was spotted on the centre’s underwater fish camera at the bottom of the ladder around 10 a.m.

Staff also caught a glimpse of a second chinook, a male, this morning.

For tourists and residents hoping to salmon-gaze, though, fishway staff said it’ll likely take another week or two before

large numbers of chinook start passing through and start going up the ladder.

The Whitehorse fish ladder is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. until late August.

A livestream of the fish camera is also available on Yukon Energy’s website.

(Jackie Hong) Thief makes off with Dennis Shorty carving A carving worth $650 was stolen from the Art House in Carcross July 23.

The Dennis Shorty moose antler carving called Medicine Women was stolen from the gallery when a staffer had her back turned, said Mary Bradshaw, director of the Yukon Arts Centre.

“Dennis puts a lot into his work, he really sees them as almost a piece of him and definitely a reflection of his spirituality, so

clean it up right away, so that you’re not creating little mini dumps all over the place,” said Cable.

The city can’t confirm whether illegal dumping is more of a problem than it was 10 years ago.

It doesn’t have the data to determine whether there’s more illegal dumping or if it’s just becoming more noticeable, said Cable.

“We don’t have really good numbers in terms of how many dump sites there are because they’re constantly changing, we don’t have a really good sense of how much this is costing in terms of disposing this material.”

There are a few events that help make it easier to get rid of unwanted stuff, said Cable.

Tag ’n’ Take encourages people to reuse materials from one house to the next by putting good working items out at the curb for others to take. The city waives tipping fees for a week each spring and again on Boxing Day. The city also offers days without tipping fees for household hazardous waste.

For more information on these services visit the waste diversion page on the city’s website.

we’re quite saddened that it would be taken,” she said.

Dennis Shorty is a Kaska artist based in Ross River.

“It’s unfortunate that someone could do that, I work hard on those pieces,” said Shorty.

The exhibition with Shorty’s artwork opened July 20.

This is the first time that anything has been stolen from the Art House, said Bradshaw. The gallery will be putting glass casings over the rest of the artwork after this incident.

“It’s quite a small space and it’s always staffed and we haven’t run into anything like this,” she said.

The Yukon Arts Centre has been in contact with the RCMP. Bradshaw remains hopeful that someone will return the carving.

Blood Ties Four Directions holds BBQ for hep C awareness Jackie Hong News Reporter

A

re you a baby boomer? Do you share toothbrushes, razors or pipes with other people? Have you come into contact with another person’s blood?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you should get tested for hepatitis C. That was the message Friday afternoon at a free BBQ and testing clinic at hosted by Blood Ties Four Directions in the Whitehorse Salvation Army parking lot, a week ahead of World Hepatitis Day. “Hep C is a virus that can stay in the body for a long time without producing any symptoms, so it can be 20, 30 years before someone has any symptoms of hep C, which means they can not know that they’re sick,” said Blood Ties health education coordinator Brontë Renwick-Shields. “Getting tested is the only way to know.”

Renwick-Shields was

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Blood Ties health education coordinator Brontë Renwick-Shields speaks to people at a community BBQ and hepatitis C testing clinic at the Salvation Army in Whitehorse July 21. one of several employees and volunteers helping to run the fourth edition of the annual event, where, on top of getting free

food and playing carnival games, the roughly 200 people who attended could go into a nearby building and get tested for

hepatitis C and HIV. Among the attendees was Joseph Jack, who heard about the BBQ on the radio. He initially

came for the free hot dogs and hamburgers but got himself tested for hepatitis C too, something he said he probably wouldn’t have thought of doing had he not come to the event.

“I think it’s a good idea,” Jack said, adding that he’d like to come back next year.

Hepatitis is a disease that causes inflammation of the liver, which can eventually lead to liver damage, cancer and death. According to Yukon Health and Social Services, hepatitis C, which is spread by blood-to-blood contact, is the most common type of the disease in the territory. The health department estimates 1,000 Yukoners are living with it.

Unlike hepatitis A and B, there is no vaccine available for hepatitis C, although it is curable with proper treatment.

Nationwide, an estimated 250,000 Canadians are thought to be infected, with more than 75 per cent of those people in the baby boomer age category.

Baby boomers are particularly at risk of being infected because of medical standards at the time surrounding procedures like blood transfusions and organ transplants, Renwick-Shields said. Also at risk are people who share items like needles, including for tattoos and piercings, and personal hygiene items like toothbrushes, razors and nail clippers.

“We recommend a one-time testing for baby boomers.… We recommend that people get tested so they can get treatment and so they can go through that process before they get sick,” Renwick-Shields said.

Hepatitis C testing is available for free at all health care centres in the Yukon except the Whitehorse Health Centre.

Whitehorse residents can get tested by their doctors, Yukon Communicable Disease Control and at the Kwanlin Dün Health Centre.

Whitehorse parking meter tickets brought in $1.4M since 2014 Jackie Hong News Reporter

T

he City of Whitehorse handed out more than 62,000 parking meter tickets over the past three and a half years, figures from the bylaw services department show.

From 2014 to the end of June 2017, parking meter attendants issued 62,388 tickets to vehicles parked in front of expired or unpaid meters. The tickets brought in more than $1.4 million in fines.

Bylaw services manager Dave Pruden, who’s been with the department for 23 years, said he can’t recall a day when at least one parking ticket wasn’t issued, although weather and staffing impact how many are handed out, he said.

“Any temperature between -15 and plus-30, traffic’s going to be traffic,” he said. “Days of the week, what’s happening in the town, times of year, all those sorts of things play into how many tickets are being issued…. If it’s 40

below, the staff can’t be out there quite as long.”

A colder-than-usual winter and vacancies in the bylaw department in 2017 have contributed to the lower-than-average number of parking meter tickets issued so far this year, Pruden said — as of the end of June, 7,396 had been issued. Officers handed out 17,768 in 2016, 17,236 in 2015 and 19,988 in 2014.

Parking meter tickets make up the overwhelming majority of all park-

ing-related tickets the department hands out — typically, officers will dole out 15,000 to 20,000 a year, compared to about 1,500 tickets for vehicles that stay too long in timed parking zones and 100 for vehicles parked in reserved accessible spots without tags.

Other parking violations — parking too close to stop signs or fire hydrants, for example — typically account for another 150 to 300 tickets annually.

Currently, there are two full-time parking meter

officers that keep an eye on downtown Whitehorse’s approximately 550 meters, and all bylaw officers have the authority to hand out parking tickets when they see fit. Officers do not have ticket quotas.

“Their quota is go downtown and walk for their shift and you get what you get,” Pruden said.

Pruden estimated that about 70 per cent of tickets are paid off every year, but noted that although the money is put into the city’s general reserve, that’s not

the goal of meter enforcement.

“The purpose for (tickets) isn’t for revenue generation, the purpose of them is for traffic rotation. We’d have people that would park in spots all day long if there isn’t enforcement,” he said.

And parking meter fees bring in more money anyway, he added — drivers dropped more than $585,000 worth of coins into them last year alone.

COMMENTARY Can Alberta’s new right make room for progressives?

Robert McGarvey Troy Media

H

ave the big changes in Alberta’s conservative movement united the right or will it shatter it?

Members of Alberta’s two rightof-centre parties, the Progressive Conservatives and Wildrose, have voted to form the new United Conservative Party.

Both Jason Kenney, leader of the (now defunct) Progressive Conservative Party and former Wildrose leader Brian Jean are enthusiastic. As far as they’re concerned, a unified right will almost guarantee victory in the next provincial election.

But what kind of party might emerge and would it actually unite right-of-centre voters?

The three main leadership candidates have different visions for this new United Conservative Party.

Kenney, a former federal Conservative cabinet minister, is a pragmatist and a master at the administrative game. He’s built his power base in Alberta politics from the inside out, seizing the initiative at the constituency level and then leveraging the organizational apparatus of the embattled PC party.

Apart from nostalgia for the “good old days,” Kenny’s political direction is anybody’s guess. He’s not a great orator or visionary. And he’s been speaking in very general terms about free enterprise, bringing back balanced budgets and restoring the Alberta Advantage.

Jean, on the other hand, seems to have done a political 180. The former leader of Alberta’s socially conservative alternative, he now favours a more centralist approach, proposing a more progressive conservative line. “The days of hard-right governments in Alberta are over and most Albertans want a more middle-of-the-road way of doing things,” he has said.

Jean recognizes the danger inherent in the Jason Franson/CP growing deficit and promotes spending cuts to Alberta Wildrose leader Brian Jean and Alberta PC leader Jason Kenney shake hands reduce it, but promises that those cuts will be after announcing a unity deal between the two in Edmonton on May 18. as painless as possible.

The opinion page is supposed to be biased

O

ne accusation that routinely makes me want to yell at my computer screen is when opinion writers are accused by readers of being biased. In my snarkier moments, when that accusation is levelled at those who opine in the News, I want to screenshot where it says “Letters and Opinions” at the top of the page, underline the latter word, and post it.

Bias is inseparable from the concept of opinion. Commentators are not here to report the news. That would be the job of reporters. Columnists are here to provide their own take on what is going on and what

the news means within a social and political framework. You can take those opinions or leave them, but don’t expect the opinion page to be free of bias.

So while we are on the subject why don’t we get a few of my biases out of the way: I am biased in favour of the belief that climate change is happening and that it is caused to a significant extent by human activity. I believe that it is a problem of great significance which requires immediate action. So whenever I write in favour of policies aimed at stemming it I am biased in favour of actually doing something about it over finding flimsy excuses not to. If we’re debating whether government regulation or a carbon tax is a better way of tackling climate change, I have neither the intention of re-litigating the evidence that climate change is real, every time

the subject arises.

I am biased in favour of people whose basic needs are going unmet over those who want the unfettered pursuit of luxury and greater wealth. This doesn’t mean I am always going to be in favour of high taxes and big government or that I reject meritocracy.

Economics are complicated and poorly thought out tax policies can be counterproductive. Government is an inherently inefficient vehicle and not always the best tool to raise all ships. But it is part of the solution. And if push came to shove and I faced an either/or choice between your new speedboat and basic shelter and food for all, I will unapologetically choose the latter.

I am biased in favour of expert opinion and the scientific method over “gut instinct” and (a conservative favourite) “common sense.” Many of the ways in which

the world operates are counter to our intuition (even my own). So when the thrust of the knowledge that is acquired through a scientifically rigorous process points in a particular direction I’m inclined to believe it even if it “doesn’t feel right.”

I am biased in favour of sources of information which at least make an effort to bear fealty to truth even if they have occasionally been imperfect. The New York Times and Breitbart are not two sides of the same coin. The former makes mistakes – because it is ultimately an organization made up of fallible humans — but retracts stories when they are shown to be untrue.

The latter maintain just enough truthfulness to avoid being sued for defamation. This isn’t a leftversus-right” thing. I enjoy the National Post and the Wall Street Journal, papers that lean right, but are still beholden to the

practice of journalism.

I am biased in favour of free expression and open debate, and don’t lightly a draw the line where they may be reasonably curbed. The fact that a particular opinion might makes you uncomfortable is never reason enough to prohibit it.

I am biased in favour of incrementalism.

Moving too quickly and uprooting the institutions of society to accomplish social or political ends rarely goes according to plan. I favour making gradual changes within the existing structures of society. I am not going to be in favour of grandiose plans or schemes.

I prefer complex explanations to simple ones.

I prefer to look at each situation on its merits, and make an effort not to fall into partisan modes of thinking.

Those are just a few of my own personal biases, and if you read what I have to say long enough

you will see them permeate my writing. And that is OK. This isn’t to say that there are no unacceptable forms of bias.

If I were writing in favour of a contentious project that I have a financial stake in, and didn’t disclose that fact to readers, that would run afoul the ethics of public commentary. There is a big difference between an undisclosed pecuniary bias (where one actually has a financial stake in a matter) and a mere attitudinal bias (where the sum of their lifetime of experiences predispose them towards seeing the world in a particular way).

But readers ought to accept that people providing public commentary have biases, and stop throwing the accusation out there as if it is somehow wins the argument.

ENVIRONMENT

In Haines, the salmon are biting

Nina Fahrbach/Yukon News

Reporter Lori Garrison fishes for cuthroat and rainbow trout (unsuccessfully) at Mosquito Lake, halfway between Haines AK and the border.

Lori Garrison News Reporter

T

he truck with Texas plates is stopped in the middle of the narrow road without its hazard lights on. A skinny young man in a muscle shirt stands in the open bed, bony elbows pushed up about his face as he stares through a set of binoculars at a young grizzly bear emerging from the roadside brush.

The bear is on his hind legs, ears swiveling, sniffing the air, looking decidedly nervous. There is nearly a pile-up as vehicles come to a halt and tourists disembark and begin frantically snapping photos of the bear.

My friend Nina and I drive around this obnoxious traffic jam. I enjoy seeing bears — they have a certain clumsy majesty I find both moving and relatable — but I don’t come to Haines for bears. I come for fish.

We camp out and true night settles over us for

the first time since May. In the morning we get up and make black coffee.

Nina rolls herself a smoke and sits on the hood of her Subaru while I take the my dog down to the lake for a drink. Standing on the edge of the pier I can see fish — likely dolly varden, those voracious, delicious eaters of salmon eggs — leaping. It would be good to try here, but it’s Nina’s first time fishing in Alaska, so we have to go into Haines proper first to get her set up.

In town we get Nina a license at Olerud’s. The man behind the counter is friendly and calm, seems quite happy in his work, a younger fellow with an easy smile.

“The pinks are running really well this year,” he says. “The sockeye are just starting, but they had a really solid run yesterday.”

That’s good to hear.

The fishing reports put out by the Alaska government have noted that “pink salmon runs are very strong this year.” I know some people turn their

noses up at pinks but I’ve never been one to turn down a meal of any sort and I eat whatever I can catch.

The King (aka Chinook) salmon runs this year are expected to be “weak” the report also says, with fishing restrictions in place, including a moratorium on retention in both Haines and Skagway, AK. We start up at Mosquito

Lake, a good ways out of town for a morning of lazy fishing. We try everything — jigs, spoons, little spinners, flies — and get nothing. No one is fishing the Chilkat, which is muddy brown. We head back out to the Chilkoot. We stop for a drink at the new (beautiful) Haines Brewery and it’s getting late by the time we find a camping spot we like along the shore. It

starts to rain in earnest. A pair of eagles talk back and forth across the river to each other, as if discussing the lousy weather, from a pair of cedar tops.

The tide is half in, half out. A handful of anglers in rain gear cast in and cast out, their lines making fans in the water. The bugs are very bad: sand flies crawl into in your eyes, nose and hair. The wind

Garrison cleans her catch of two pink salmon on the side of the Chilkoot River.

picks up.

Then, on the other side of the river someone suddenly gets a bite. There’s a shout as he lands it, then another shout as someone else gets a fish on, then another. A run, coming in from the lake. There’s the snap-and-grab of my own lure being taken somewhere under the water and my line is suddenly taut, whipping back and forth. I let it out to give the fish some play, adjust the drag, let it cut, whisk and dodge among the stones, pulling it in closer, letting it run, pulling it in until it’s so close I can see it. Then I land it, finally, heavily on the shore.

A pink salmon without a trace of a hump, sporting chromatic blue-black skin.

Eight pounds. Beautiful.

Al Gore on Inconvenient Sequel, Trump, and the environment John Carucci Associated Press

NEW YORK l Gore admits he was frustrated upon hearing the news last month that President Trump was pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, but since then he’s become more optimistic.

Gore worried that a U.S. withdrawal from the treaty would compel other nations to opt out of the historical pact for adopting clean energy solutions. But that’s not what happened.

“The whole rest of the world has redoubled their commitment. And in this country, the governors and the mayors and the business leaders have all said, ‘We’re still in the agreement, and we’re gonna fill the gap. We’re gonna meet the U.S. commitment, regardless of what Donald Trump does,” Gore told the Associated Press last week at a special screening for An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.

It follows the 2006 Oscar-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, and continues the conversation of finding solutions for the effects of climate change, including an emphasis on renewable energy. Much like the first film, Gore is front and centre in leading the discussion.

It’s been a remarkable second act for Gore since winning the popular vote, but losing the Electoral College in the

A

2000 presidential election.

There’s no question that Gore was devastated from the loss, but his stature as an important voice for environmental issues has proven equally successful, as he amassed a Nobel Prize, Academy Award, an Emmy, and a Grammy for his relentless dedication to climate change activism.

“I’m under no illusion that there’s any position with as much chance to do good as president of the United States, but I’m very grateful to have found another way to serve the public interests.

I’m devoting my life to this and hoping to make a big difference,” Gore said.

CNN Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who also attended the premiere, agrees that Gore “had done pretty well for himself” after the disputed 2000 presidential election.

“Al Gore could have done many things after he was not inaugurated in 2001, but what he did was become the leading global spokesman for perhaps the most important scientific and environmental cause of our lifetime, and he won a Nobel Prize in the bargain. So I don’t think anyone could quarrel with how Al Gore has decided to live his life,” he said.

A big part of Gore’s mission depends on convincing people that climate change is not a hoax. Instead, it’s based on science that shows the global mean surface temperature continues to rise,

Al Gore appears in An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power. due in part to an increase in greenhouse gasses. So while global warming is immune to politics, the topic remains a partisan issue in the United States.

That’s something the former vice-president blames on corporate funding for political campaigns.

“The truth about the climate crisis is still inconvenient for the big carbon polluters, and the politicians that they support with their big campaign contributions and lobbying activities are scared to cross them. That’s the main reason. They’ve spent a lot of money trying to put out false information about it,” Gore said.

Still, he remains confident that the problem can be fixed.

“People are seeing through this now. Twothirds of the American people want to solve this big time. We are gonna solve it. We just need to move faster on it,” Gore said.

Gore feels that change will come from the “grass roots up.” That’s why he spends a great deal of time training climate activists around the globe.

“We need to get more people involved. That’s one of the real purposes of this movie. To tell people what they need to know, to show them that there is hope and there are solutions now, and inspire them to get involved,” Gore said.

Davis Guggenheim directed the first film to

box office and Oscar glory, bringing climate change into the mainstream. The sequel, directed by Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk picks up the conversation with more of a battle cry for saving the planet.

Knowing he was stepping into big shoes for this film, Shenk noted the importance of his predecessor’s film.

“An Inconvenient Truth” was one of the most successful documentaries in history. Not only did it do fabulously well at the box office, but by almost any measure it put the words global warming and climate crisis on the map for the entire world,” Shenk said.

In order to keep the information timely, pro-

ducers changed the ending from what audiences saw at the Sundance Film Festival to reflect Trump’s announcement about withdrawing the United States from the global climate agreement in time for the film’s limited release on July 28 and its wide release on Aug. 4.

Gore also said he’s recently spoken to Hillary Clinton, and that’s “She’s gonna be fine.”

Clinton won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College to Trump, just as Gore lost to George W. Bush in 2000.

As for Trump’s continued attacks on the news media, Gore feels disheartened by them.

“Well, I think that’s really unfortunate. We need someone who will unite us and not divide us.

The press obviously plays an absolutely crucial role in making our democracy work. If the press isn’t free to get out there and tell people what’s going on, then we can’t make the changes we need to know about and then change,” Gore said.

Part of the news coverage called into question surrounds the constant flurry of revelations in the ongoing investigation of possible collusion with the Russian government by the Trump administration.

“Every day there seems like there’s something different and they’re not getting anything good done. That’s a problem,” Gore said.

SPORTS AND RECREATION Yukon wins 24 medals at Indigenous Games Tom Patrick News Reporter

T

he 2017 North American Indigenous Games went swimmingly for Team Yukon.

The team collected 24 medals — 18 in swimming — at the Games July 16-23 in Toronto.

With the two-dozen medals Yukon placed 11th in the medal count out of 22 contingents at the triennial Games.

“Oh my gosh, the meet was absolutely fantastic,” said Yukon swimmer Rennes Lindsay. “We had a really great coach, a really good team — the team was so much fun. We had two new swimmers, Helene and Camron Maguire, so that was their first swim meet because they are synchronized swimmers. We had lots of fun, really got to know them. I got to know everyone in our group much better too.

“The competition wasn’t sanctioned, so your times didn’t really count, so it kind of put you at ease a little bit. But it was also really fun. You had a roommate and you all ate together and it was a really good team experience.”

Lindsay, 14, won five medals in individual races in the under-16 female division. She sped to gold in the 200-metre freestyle, gold in the 400-metre freestyle, silver in the 100-metre butterfly, bronze in the 100-metre breaststroke and the 100-metre freestyle.

In the 200 free final she beat Alberta’s Venna Anderson by just 0.14 seconds.

“I had to plan that race out well because I was racing a fast competitor,” said Lindsay. “I always have a burst of energy at the end of all my races…. I knew if I stayed right with her we’d do a very entertaining finish.”

Older sister Cassis Lindsay, in under-19 female, won gold in the 100 backstroke, silver in the 50 backstroke, silver in the 50 butterfly, bronze in the 100 butterfly, bronze in the 100 freestyle and bronze in the 50 freestyle.

Teammate Kassua Dreyer, swimming in under-14 female, claimed gold in the 800 freestyle, silver in the 200 breaststroke, silver in the 400 freestyle, bronze in the 100 breaststroke and bronze in the 50 breaststroke.

Brooklyn Massie won bronze in the 200 individual medley in under-16 female.

The four medalists, who are members of the Whitehorse Glacier Bears Swim Club, also teamed up for silver in the under-19 female 4x50-metre freestyle relay (1:57.70).

Yukon’s first medal of the Games came in athletics on July 17. Whitehorse’s Naoise Dempsey won silver in the under-14 male two-kilometre cross-country race with a time of 8:24.39, just 0.25 seconds behind the gold medalist from the Eastern Door and the North team. He also took fourth in the 200-metre and 800-metre.

Yukon finished with two medals in athletics. Jayden Demchuk threw 26.75 metres for bronze in the under-19 female javelin.

She also notched fourth in discuss and fifth in shot put.

Yukon’s Corey Roberts was on target last week.

The 19-year-old won gold in rifle shooting in under-19 male prone. Teammate Nevada Joe was jut out of the medals in fourth place in the event.

Yukon’s Judy Russell pinned a bronze in wrestling, in the female 60-kilogram division.

Yukon also took a pair of medals in traditional indigenous sports.

Jesse Kates, 14, shot for silver in under-16 female instinctive 3D archery competition.

Jedrek Dendys and Alice Frost-Hanberg paddled to bronze in under-19 mixed canoe paddling in the 6,000-metre event.

Frost-Hanberg won two medals in paddling at the 2014 Games as well.

Yukon’s basketball teams — under-16 boys and under-16 girls — went winless.

Yukon’s under-19 male soccer team also went winless, with a 3-0 loss to Nova Scotia their closest match.

The territory was represented by three volleyball teams in Toronto. Yukon’s under-16 male squad took a 2-0 win over Manitoba.

Yukon’s 24 medals is up from 11 medals at the 2014 Games in Regina, Sask., and just under half as many medals won for Yukon at the 2008 Games in Cowichan, B.C. (The 2011 Games, that were to be held in Milwaukee, were cancelled due to lack of sponsors.)

This year’s Yukon team consisted of about 140 athletes, almost 100 more than in 2014.

Whitehorse para wheelchair racer Jessica Frotten has had productive summer.

“It’s been a fantastic season,” said the 29-year-old. “I’ve really seen where my strengths are and I know what I need to work on, and I’m much more confident in my racing abilities. I’m so happy with how this season went and I’m so excited for the next one.”

Frotten wrapped up her second worlds appearance with two events at the World Para Athletics Championships in London, England, on July 23. After a four-day break from her previous races, she placed seventh in the 800-metre and ninth in the 100-metre in the T53 category. One of those she’s happy with, the other not so much.

“It was kind of hard to wait those four days in between and be ready to race on the last day of competition. I found that difficult,” said Frotten.

“My 100 is the last 100 I will ever race. That’s how I feel about that race. But my 800 was my best race

of the whole world championships. It poured rain, the skies just opened up, and the track was pretty much a lake it was so wet.

“I had a super strong race tactically — it was beautiful. I stayed with the pack and finished not even a half second out of my personal best.

For a soaking wet track I thought it was pretty good.”

Frotten set a career best sixth place in the women’s 200-metre with a time of 31.81 seconds on July 15. She roared over the finish line behind American Kelsey Lefevour and ahead Canadian teammate Ilana Dupont. Great Britain’s Samantha Kinghorn set a world record of 28.61 in the event.

Frotten’s previous best finish on the world stage was seventh place in the 200 at the 2015 championships in Doha, Qatar.

“It was so amazing. In Doha I think the busiest day might have been 50 people in the stands watching. In London there was 30,000-plus people cheering — it was crazy,” said Frotten. “You could almost not hear the starter give commands because the stadium was so loud.

“The crowd put out so much energy and you almost just soaked it all up.”

A few days after post-

ing a career high, Frotten logged a career low at the worlds. After finish the 400-metre semifinal with a time that qualified her for the final she was later disqualified for a lane violation — going slightly out of her lane.

“I’m devastated about the 400 — devastated about it — but I was in the last Canadian event too (with the 800-metre) and to finish it strongly, I was pretty proud, pretty happy,” said Frotten.

“We got to do some touristy things, got to check out Big Ben — he’s getting a facelift right now, apparently he’s tilting,” she added. “Just hanging out with the team, cheering on the team — just being a part of Team Canada is an experience in itself.”

Sunday’s 800 final marked the end of Frotten’s season, and what a season it has been.

Frotten won four medals at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Ottawa, July 3-9.

She captured gold in the 200 and 800 events — the same two events in which she won her first national titles in 2013.

Frotten, who races for the Saskatoon Cyclones, also bagged silver in the 1,500 and the 400 at the start of the month.

The Whitehorse-born athlete secured a spot on the worlds team with

exceptional performances at three consecutive meets in Switzerland in May and June.

Frotten set her first Canadian record at the Daniela Jutzeler Memorial on May 25 in Arbon.

She placed seventh in the 800-metre with a Canadian record time of 1:58.30.

“I’m not going to unpack my racer for — I don’t know — a month,” said Frotten.

“I’m coming home for some R and R, home to Whitehorse. I haven’t been home since Christmas time and I want to hug my nieces and nephews.”

Her season is done but Frotten is already eyeing Canada’s team for the Commonwealth Games next April in Queensland, Australia. Only two distances are offered at the Games — 1,500-metre and marathon. Frotten has done plenty of 1,500s, but never a marathon.

“I need to get a marathon time before Oct. 31, so I was just checking out a few,” said Frotten.

“My options right now are Chicago, Japan, and Berlin, but I think the one in Japan is the one I’m going to train for and go do and see what kind of time I can clock. Hopefully it’ll be enough to get named to the Commonwealth team.”

Whitehorse mountain biker logs historic finish in gruelling Austrian race

Robert Stefaniak/Sportograf photo

Whitehorse’s Tamara Goeppel races the Salzkammergut Trophy marathon mountain bike event July 15 in Austria. Goeppel became the first Canadian woman to finish the “extreme” division in the race’s 20-year history.

Tom Patrick News Reporter

W

ith epic races come epic finishes — if you finish.

Whitehorse’s Tamara Goeppel stayed the course on a very long course at the Salzkammergut Trophy marathon mountain bike race on July 15 in Austria.

By reaching the finish line (absolutely caked in mud) Goeppel became the first Canadian woman to finish the race’s “extreme” division, the toughest of the seven divisions in the 20th annual event that saw about 5,000 bikers from 40 nations take part.

“If the race had 5,000 metres less climbing, I think it would be quite fun,” said Goeppel in an email to the News. “There is a final big climb of 700 metres which almost broke me. At that point I felt I was too close to the finish to surrender

and I just had to limp my way over this mountain. Not even a muddy descent could have made me happy at that point … just the finish line.”

Goeppel, a three-time Yukon mountain bike champion, finished the 210-kilometre course in 15 hours, 21 minutes and 36 seconds. She placed seventh overall for women and second in the women’s 40 division.

Out of the 22 women in the extreme division, eight didn’t finish. The course included over 7,000 metres of climbing — that’s over three quarters the height of Mount Everest.

“When I crossed the finish line, I did not have tears of joy … I think I was just stunned,” said Goeppel.

“In fact, still today I can’t understand 7,000 metres of climbing in a one-day mountain bike event …

That is just crazy!”

“I did enjoy most of the descents as some of them

were pretty muddy and slippery and super fast. But I spent most of the day trying to dodge the temptation to quit the race. There were many dark hours. This is definitely an event that taxes your physical and mental strength to the limit.”

This wasn’t the first time Goeppel has notched a strong finish in Europe. She raced the Trans Schwarswald, a five-day 395-kilometre stage race through Germany’s Black Forest, in 2012. She placed third in her category and 14th overall for solo women.

In 2013 Goeppel became the first Yukoner to win a stage in the B.C. Bike Race, a seven-day mountain bike stage race. The next year she placed second in masters women in the weeklong B.C. race.

“My last big mountain bike race was the B.C. Bike Race in 2014 and I thought that would be my last race,” said Goeppel. “This January

I decided I wanted to see if I could still race. If I still had that edge. I have always had my eye on the Salzkammergut Trophy so I decided to try the race. January is always a dangerous month to make race decisions.”

Brain disease seen in most football players in large report Lindsey Tanner Associated Press

CHICAGO esearch on 202 former football players found evidence of brain disease in nearly all of them, from athletes in the NFL, college and even high school.

It’s the largest update on chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a brain disease linked with repeated head blows.

But the report doesn’t confirm that the condition is common in all football players; it reflects high occurrence in samples at a Boston brain bank that studies CTE. Many donors or their families contributed because of the players’ repeated concussions and troubling symptoms before death.

“There are many questions that remain unanswered,” said lead author Dr. Ann McKee, a Boston University neuroscientist.

“How common is this” in the general population and all football players?

“How many years of football is too many?” and “What is the genetic risk?

Some players do not have

R

evidence of this disease despite long playing years,” she noted.

It’s also uncertain if some players’ lifestyle habits — alcohol, drugs, steroids, diet — might somehow contribute, McKee said.

Dr. Munro Cullum, a neuropsychologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, emphasized that the report is based on a selective sample of men who were not necessarily representative of all football players. He said problems other than CTE might explain some of their most common symptoms before death — depression, impulsivity and behaviour changes. He was not involved in the report.

McKee said research from the brain bank may lead to answers and an understanding of how to detect the disease in life, “while there’s still a chance to do something about it.” There’s no known treatment.

The strongest scientific evidence says CTE can only be diagnosed by examining brains after death, although some researchers are experimenting with tests performed on the living.

AP file

Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler looks to pass during a 1974 NFL game.

Many scientists believe that repeated blows to the head increase risks for developing CTE, leading to progressive loss of normal brain matter and an abnormal buildup of a protein called tau. Combat veterans and athletes in rough contact sports like football and boxing are among those thought to be most at risk.

The new report was published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

CTE was diagnosed in 177 former players or nearly 90 per cent of brains studied. That includes 110 of 111 brains from former NFL players; 48 of 53 college players; nine of 14 semi-professional players, seven of eight Canadian Football league players and three of 14 high school players.

The disease was not found in brains from two younger players.

A panel of neuropathologists made the diagnosis by examining brain tissue, using recent criteria from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, McKee said.

The NFL issued a statement saying these reports are important for advancing science related to head trauma and said the league “will continue to work with a wide range of experts to improve the health of current and former NFL athletes.”

After years of denials, the NFL acknowledged a link between head blows and brain disease and agreed in a $1 billion settlement to compensate former players who had accused the league of hiding the risks.

The journal update

includes many previously reported cases, including former NFL players Bubba Smith, Ken Stabler, Junior Seau and Dave Duerson.

New ones include retired tight end Frank Wainright, whose 10-year NFL career included stints with the Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens. Wainright died last October at age 48 from a heart attack triggered by bleeding in the brain, said his wife, Stacie. She said he had struggled almost eight years with frightening symptoms including confusion, memory loss and behaviour changes.

Wainright played before the league adopted stricter safety rules and had many concussions, she said. He feared CTE and was adamant about donating his brain, she said.

“A lot of families are really tragically affected by it — not even mentioning what these men are going through and they’re really not sure what is happening to them. It’s like a storm that you can’t quite get out of,” his wife said.

Frank Wycheck, another former NFL tight end, said

he worries that concussions during his nine-year career — the last seven with the Tennessee Titans — have left him with CTE and he plans to donate his brain to research.

“Some people have heads made of concrete, and it doesn’t really affect some of those guys,” he said.

“But CTE is real.”

“I know I’m suffering through it, and it’s been a struggle and I feel for all the guys out there that are going through this,” said Wycheck, 45.

In the new report, McKee and colleagues found the most severe disease in former professional players; mild disease was found in all three former high school players diagnosed with the disease. Brain bank researchers previously reported that the earliest known evidence of CTE was found in a high school athlete who played football and other sports who died at age 18.

He was not included in the current report.

The average age of death among all players studied was 66. There were 18 suicides among the 177 diagnosed.
