he fastest snow machine race on earth, the 47th Alcan 200 International Snow Machine Road Rally, will roar to a start on Jan. 16 near Haines, Alaska.

Drivers sign up the night before, Jan. 15, at 5:30 p.m. at the Fogcutter Bar in Haines. Spectators buy their drivers by class in a Calcutta auction, and the flag is dropped on a weekend of epic snow machine racing.

The drivers meet at 9 a.m. the following morning, and the race fires off an hour later from the Canadian border at Mile 42, Haines Highway.

Zooming northward over ice, slush, snow and bare pavement, racers head down the Haines Highway through Yukon to Dezadeash Lodge, where they file in, turn around and head back to Haines and the finish line at Mile 42.

The Chilkat Snowburners Association organize the event. President of the Snowburners, Kathi Lapp, says the highway race is the only of its kind in North America.

The speeds of the racers are “quite fast,” she says.

Quite fast, that is, averaging over 160 km/h.

Last year’s winner, Greg Peede, from North Pole, Alaska, finished in under an hour and a half, averaging 168 km/h in the 551-650 Liquid class.

The course covers a distance of about 249 kilometres – the longest snowmachine race in North America. The race used to be about 322 kilometres, or 200 miles, hence Alcan 200, but was shortened within the first few years of its running after the start was moved from 10 Mile.

The contestants must use the same snow machine with mandatory gas stops at 75 Mile, 104 Mile and Dezadeash.

Categorizes are organized by snow machine class, and prizes are handed out to the first to cross the finish line and the order of finish in each class.

Cash prizes top out at $1,000 a score in addition to prize money for podium finishing in the class and a cut of the earnings from the auction.

Special awards go to the Fast-

PHOTO: kozzi.com

Snow machine racers average speeds of 160 km/h est Local (Haines), Fastest Out-ofTowner, Fastest Woman, Rookie of the Year, Poor Broke Down Bastard (first to break down), and the Red Lantern (last to finish).

Three Yukoners took to the podium last year, two of which won their class.

About two dozen drivers will turn out to this year’s race, and favourable road conditions of ice and a weather forecast of snow, are expected by Lapp.

“We will run the race no matter what the conditions are,” she says.

Poor visibility, extreme cold, bare pavement - the course is dangerous, treacherous and even fatal. In 2009 Jeffery Peede (brother to Greg Peede), 38, of North Pole, Alaska died when he

crashed into a guardrail at 130 km/h due to blowing snow.

However, drivers travel from all over Alaska, the Yukon and British Columbia to gather for the event. Many drivers use this race to prepare for bigger races later in the season. A pair of northerners are set to return from Redmond, Oregon, to compete.

The public awards banquet and a prime rib dinner conclude the event at the American Legion Hall in Haines.

“We hope that we have a lot of competitors turn out and everyone will have a wonderful time,” Lapp says.

Berton House sits at the corner of 8th Avenue and Hansen Street Downtown Hotel. In this case the number is the same, but it’s now on a different street.

With 9-1-1 coming on, we really couldn’t rely on the anecdotal directions that, while picturesque and folksy, didn’t lend themselves to quick response times by either the RCMP or the EMS Ambulance crew, if they happened to be needed.

The project isn’t finished yet.

To be truly complete it will be necessary for the territorial government to step and assign num-

bers to buildings in Henderson’s Corner, Rock Creek, Bear Creek, West Dawson and Sunnydale, none of which fall under Dawson’s jurisdiction.

They’ve got about six months to finish the job, but the town has shown the way.

ot too long ago if you wanted to find Berton House, the home of the Berton House Writers’ Retreat, you would have been directed to 8th Avenue and told to look at the building across the street from Parks Canada’s Robert Service Cabin site. You can still get those directions, but the building is no longer said to be on 8th Avenue.

It hasn’t been moved, like a lot of buildings have been here; we’ve just decided to rename its location.

For many years Berton House was listed as being on 8th Avenue, even though neither of its doors exit onto that street.

These days, however, since the launch of the new Civic Addressing Bylaw, Berton House is said to be at 751 Hansen Street, where its front door can actually be found.

The back door exits onto the lane that runs between 7th and 8th Avenues, so that wouldn’t have improved matters any.

The whole purpose of the new Municipal Civic Addressing System, which was launched in late October, was to begin to get the town ready for the territorial expansion of the 9-1-1 emergency telephone system, which is scheduled to roll out in July 2016.

Given that at least two previous attempts have been made to rationalize Dawson’s building numbers, it might take that long to sort out the errors. Of the 787 addresses in the historic townsite, 244 had no addresses showing at the time of the launch, and 65 had incorrect addresses. A few had numbers that, in some cases, had moved along with the buildings when they were relocated to a different street and lot.

Outside of the historic zone none of the buildings had address numbers at all, and there were another 266 of those, running out to the town boundary near the Quigley Landfill.

Berton House, like a number of other buildings, sits on a corner and has never had its exact location codified before. In all such cases, the town’s Fire Dept. and Bylaw division, which have been spearheading this project, decided that the street name ought to match up with the main doorway.

For this same reason, Maria Fras’ Hair Cabaret, which is listed at 994-2 Ave. on nearly every Internet reference you can find, now appears on the City of Dawson home page as being located at 994 Queen Street, across from the saloon entrance to the bar at the

Eye on the Outdoors with Murray Martin

Want the Good News or the Bad News?

The good news is a healthy lifestyle helps avoid cancer; bad news is 1 in 4 Canadians will die of cancer

A

ccording to the Canadian Cancer Society Advisory Committee on Cancer Statistics, Canadian Statistics 2015, one out of every four Canadians will die of some form of cancer in their lifetime.

Research in 2009 showed that about 2.4 per cent of the Canadian population or 1 out of every 41 Canadians was living with cancer: in 2009, about 810,045 Canadians diagnosed with cancer in the previous 10 years were alive.

It’s estimated that by the end of 2015 196,900 Canadians will have developed some sort of cancer and 78,000 will have died of cancer.

Estimates from 2010 statistics show that two out of five Canadians (45 per cent of men and 42 per cent of women) are expected to develop cancer during their lifetimes and that one out of four Canadians (29 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women) is expected to die from cancer.

Those statistics are staggering.

The Canadian cancer statistics show that cancer of the lung, breast, colorectal and prostate account for over half (51%) of all new cancer cases.

However, lung cancer is the leading cause of more deaths in Canada than the other three cancer types combined. Smoking is one of the main causes of lung cancer – but it’s also responsible

for 30 per cent of all cancers.

One third of cancers can be linked to diet, obesity and the lack of exercise. Further Canadian statistics show that 89 percent of Canadians developing cancer will be over the age of 50.

However, cancer attacks at any age. The Canadian Cancer Society Advisory Committee’s statistics showed that in 2011 cancer was the leading cause of death in children under the age of 15.

The good news is the statistics also show that a healthy lifestyle can help prevent cancer.

The Canadian Cancer Society and the American Institute For Cancer Research both identify the following ways to reduce the risk of cancer: 1. Don’t smoke and avoid secondhand smoke. Tobacco smoking is an established risk for 18 different forms of cancer, and is responsible for one quarter of deaths worldwide, making it the greatest avoidable risk factor for cancer.

2. Follow good health practices.

Eating a diet of vegetables, fruit and fibre, low on red meats and processed meats. Maintaining a healthy body weight and being physically active can prevent about 1/3 of the 12 major cancers worldwide. (American Institute For Cancer Research and World Cancer Research.)

3. Reduce alcohol consumption. Alcohol is a risk factor for many different cancers. The less you drink, the more you reduce your risk.

4. Avoid overexposure to sunlight and stay away from sunlight and tanning beds. According to Cancer Research, indoor tanning does not provide a safe alternative to the sun and should be avoided.

Cancer PHOTO: kozzi.com peaked in 1988, but with cancer research it has seen a decline since then, with the exception of liver cancer. According to the Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention, in 2015 the Yukon had one of the highest overall cancer rates across Canada at 237.4 per 100,000, with 85 deaths.

Richard’s Tire Tips

When was the last time YOU ROTATED YOUR TIRES?

The Government of Yukon has been actively responding to the impacts of climate change and working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in key sectors since it released its original Climate Change Action Plan in 2009.

Six years into the plan, most of the government’s original priority actions are either complete or underway. As well, there are new activities and commitments in place to help achieve our goals.

The 2015 Climate Change Action Plan Progress Report details the progress we’ve made and identifies new items to respond to climate change like: • Accelerating the replacement of old vehicles with more fuel efficient vehicles, • Developing a building construction best practices manual of Yukon appropriate energy efficient measures for YG buildings, • Using road construction methods designed to preserve permafrost on Yukon highways, and many more.

Be part of the solution.

Studies have shown that by performing a regular rotation every 8 - 10,000kms the life of your tires is significantly increased, in most cases by up to 25%. Other factors such as driving style, application and tire pressure will also affect tread life. Failure to regularly perform rotations has proven to cause several different abnormal wear patterns such as diagonal, accelerated and uneven wear. The common rule for rotations is to move the drive axle tires straight forward or back depending on the vehicle and the free rolling axle should be crossed.

Authentic Flavours Simple And Delicious

Into the Fire

Spice Pastes and Simmer Sauces

Jazz vocalist Steve Maddock brings a broad range of experience to his first Whitehorse gig this week

by Ken Bolton

203 Hanson Street, Whitehorse • 667-7583 Hours Tuesday to Saturday 9am-5:30pm

S

teve Maddock owes at least part of his resumé to the bad judgment of another singer.

In 1998, the crooner/actor/ voice teacher from Burnaby, B.C., got an unexpected call from a cruise ship line, asking him to fill in for its previous male vocalist, who had been fired for having marijuana in his cabin.

“I kind of got thrown into the fire, not quite knowing what to expect,” he says.

The cruise director gave Maddock a couple of days to get his bearings before hitting the stage, but asked to see his script - which didn’t exist.

“For a gig like that, the patter is just as important as the singing.

They want it to be a show, with a theme. They want it to be slick.

They want you to have nice segues from one tune to the next.”

Because he was an emergency hire, the cruise director cut Maddock some slack, allowing him to work from point-form notes instead of a verbatim script.

“I did a Nat King Cole tribute. I did a couple of Frank Sinatra tributes, because that was about the time Sinatra passed away.”

He and the female vocalist on board put together a few duet shows, including a “Best of Broadway” compilation, a ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll tribute and even a country music show.

“We had a four-piece rhythm section and a guy on reeds who also played flute. They were great musicians. They could read anything you put in front of them.”

Besides having to pump up his repertoire in a hurry, Maddock faced a lot pressure as both a singer and a show organizer.

“You’d have a week, maybe 10 days with a ship full of the same people, and they’d fill out comment cards at the end of each cruise. If you had a couple of cruises in a row where your marks were not good, that was grounds for dismissal.”

After a second cruise gig, Maddock gave up that aspect of his career to spend more time with his wife and young children. Still, he appreciates what he learned from the experience.

“You have to learn fast. You have to think on your feet and be able to adjust quickly to what’s happening around you.”

Adaptability is one of Maddock’s strengths. After three years of theatre study at University of Windsor, Ontario, he enrolled as a

British Columbia jazz vocalist Steve Maddock performs with Karin Plato at The Old Fire Hall in Whitehorse on Jan. 15, and are offering vocal jazz workshops until Jan. 24. jazz trumpeter in the commercial music program at what was then Capilano College in North Vancouver, B.C. A year later, he switched to vocals. Despite a strong preference for jazz, honed by early exposure to recordings of Nat King Cole trademarks such as “Route 66,” “Sweet Lorraine” and “Unforgettable,” he calls himself a jack-of-all-trades kind of singer.

“I’ve done a lot of jazz festivals and clubs and things like that, but I still do a lot of musical theatre. Every now and then a group like the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra will hire me to do kind of a pops concert,” he says. “The more versatile you are, the more employable you are, and that’s a good thing in this business. If you’re only going to do one thing, you’d better be damned good at that one thing.”

Besides his flourishing career as a singer, Maddock is also a respected voice teacher who has been on the faculty of his alma mater, Capilano University, for the past 20 years.

This week, he and Vancouver singer/vocal coach Karin Plato will be in Whitehorse to present a duo concert, followed by nine days of intensive vocal jazz workshops and master classes presented by Jazz Yukon, in collaboration with the Yukon Arts Centre and Music Yukon.

Plato has offered several similar courses here since 2011. This

HAIR STYLIST

will be Maddock’s first visit north, although he and Plato have previously collaborated on several summer music camps in B.C. “When I do any kind of camp, or jazz workshop, that lasts for more than two hours, there are selfish reasons for doing it,” Maddock admits. “Yes, it’s a job, but this is why I’m doing it, for the love of music and for the act of sharing music with other people who are as passionate about it as I am. That is so rewarding, and such a thrill.

“Teaching is such an important part of what I do, and my development as an artist. I can’t imagine continuing to perform and not teaching. And I can’t imagine teaching without staying active as a performer myself, because the two really complement each other.”

Plato and Maddock will perform at The Old Fire Hall on Friday, Jan. 15, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at Dean’s Strings, or at the door.

The workshops and master classes run Jan. 15 to 24. For more information contact Music Yukon at 867-456-8742.

2015 in Toronto. Director Charles Wilkinson (Peace Out) brings us the beautifully photographed landscape of this island and the Haida Nation as they stand in the way of a proposed tar sands seaway to Asia.

his year’s Available Light Film Festival (ALFF) features a series of films draw audiences’ attention to the experiences of life in the Canadian Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. The North on Screen series comprises a third of the Yukon Film Society’s 14th Annual film festival, which runs Feb. 7 to 14 in Whitehorse.

Northern British Columbia This year’s opening gala film will be the world premiere from American documentary film icon Nettie Wild (A Place Called Chiapas) that is an homage to northwestern British Columbia.

The new documentary, called Konelîne (Our Land Beautiful), is an impressionistic documentary about people’s relationship to the land in Tahltan First Nation country and their reflections on the industrial developments taking place in their backyard.

Nunavut Inuk filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk (Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner) returns to ALFF with Angirattut (Coming Home). Kunuk, who is based in the eastern Arctic community of Igloolik, Nunavut, documents Inuit knowledge, tradition and history through a restorative and healing journey: a group of Inuit elders and their families return to home sites on the land after being relocated to settlements more than 50 years ago.

Moving further north on Baffin Island to the Pond Inlet community, Quebec based director Christian Fournier explores the mysterious incident from 1943 when 25 people perished without explanation. Fournier’s 2015 film Nallua is told through two survivors, elders Ruth and Elicsapie, who journey back to their ancestral lands with their grandchildren, revisiting their history while looking to their culture’s future.

Yukon Whitehorse-filmmaker Allan Code’s Memory Trap: The Herd that Wouldn’t Disappear follows the Forty Mile Caribou Herd through the remote wilderness of North Yukon and Alaska, telling the story of how traditional knowledge and science saved the herd from near extinction.

Composer and filmmaker Daniel Janke present The Grubstake Remix, a unique cinema hybrid that crosses between the worlds of performance documentary and narrative fiction. The film blends the 1922 northwoods melodrama The Grub Stake (Nell Shipman) with a 5-piece ensemble playing a new music score and six actors performing voices for the onscreen characters in Shakespearean English and French.

Finally Max Fraser and Lulu Keating premiere their two-part drama-comedy Broke Down Dawson Town, which is a hilarious story about two young Atlantic Canadians who arrive in Dawson City broke but hopeful in search for gold. Fraser also presents his last film Bond of Strangers: The Operation Husky Story, which examines a determination to honour the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers during World War II by reclaiming lost history.

201 Wood Street

Hot Apple Cider and Rum Punch

A

familiar sight at many a gathering during the holiday season is the punch bowl, ranging in formality from fine, etched crystal to battered salad bowl, filled to the brim with a fruity, bubbly concoction, set on a tablecloth stained here and there by the berries that slipped ‘twixt cup and lip and surrounded by a jumbled assortment of the host’s cups and mugs.

The punch will range in complexity from the simple orange juice, ginger ale and cranberry concoctions remembered from the birthday parties of our youth, to sophisticated and balanced combinations of spirits, syrups, bitters and freshly squeezed fruit juices.

You never know which one you’re going to get, so it’s a bit of a gamble taking the punch option at a party, and to be honest, I usually stick to the white wine out of selfpreservation.

However, with the revival of interest in the finely built cocktail has come a revival of interest in the well-built punch, and a corresponding revival of punch-making skill. At speakeasy-type bars in London and New York the punch

bowl is a common sight at tables of four or six — and as Joy of Cooking tells us, punch is a great way to serve cocktails to several people at once, without all that mixing, stirring and straining.

The word “punch” is derived, according to the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, from the Sanskrit word for five (pañchan) and refers to the five ingredients of the true punch: spirits, sugar, citrus, water and spice. The original punch came to England in the early 1630s from India, via employees of the British East India Company, and quickly spread to Europe and North America. When punch is wine, cider or brandy-based and served warm it falls into the “wassail” category; with the addition of sparkling water, a cold punch becomes a “cup.” This is but a small sampling of the esoterica associated with this august beverage, but the important point is it’s just as easy to make a good punch as it is to make a bad.

We have a range of choices in the punch line, from the refined and intricate formulae to be found in the pages of Death & Co., the recent cocktail bible from the bar

of the same name in New York City, to the practical Champagne or whisky cups offered by Joy of Cooking (though I’d tone down the sugar in those recipes a bit.)

I’ve also found Martha Stewart to be an excellent source for simple, balanced, easy-to-build punches for the harried host. The rum and apple cider punch here is adapted from one of Ms. Stewart’s online recipes, with lemon subbedin for orange, a bit of birch syrup added to balance the acid, and a handful of cranberries thrown in for tartness and colour.

The beauty of this punch is you can be fancy or casual — it’s great just left on a back burner at an après-ski gathering, for example, or served in a fancy decanter on a white tablecloth. Finally, if you leave out the rum and ask the adults to add their own should they wish, the punch will serve the thirsty under-age crowd too.

(Keep warm on low heat, up to 2 hours. ) Remove from heat and stir in rum. Remove cinnamon sticks—otherwise they’ll overpower the other flavours. Transfer to a punch bowl; serve warm.

The Story of

Eagles’ Paradise Alaskan author publishes book about the Chilkat Eagle Preserve

Eagles fill the trees at the preserve each November

by Elke Reinauer

Eagle with a full moon at the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in Haines, Alaska

PHOTOS: Joe Ordonez

Two bald eagles lock talons in a battle over a fish

A meeting was called on Jan. 28 where logger, miners and environmentalists sat together to discuss the Chilkat Watershed. Everybody wanted something different for its future. No agreement could be reached and the meeting closed without a solution. People left for the airport but a huge storm shut down the airport.

Everyone was stuck in town until the weather cleared up.

The participants decided to sit back down and talk things over. Discussions continued into the early morning. At 3 a.m. a compromise resulting in the formation of the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve was reached.

An agreement to protect 48,000 acres (19,420 hectares) of land in the Chilkat Valley was proposed.

Fast forward to current day, and Ordonez is now concerned about the future of the preserve. The Palmer Project, also known as the Constantine Mine, is currently a threat.

“I want to shift the debate about the mine from one focused on local jobs to one focused on an internationally significant and unique environment under threat,” Ordonez says. “This area demands the highest level of protection.

There is a myth that we can have it all… a potentially toxic mine upstream of the Eagle Preserve and a healthy environment. The problem is… there is always some risk.”

Ordonez writes in the book that one thing is certain: it would be impossible to recreate the unique combination of elements that come together to bring this many eagles together in one place.

Joe Ordonez’ book Where Eagles Gather is available online at www.TourHaines.com.

very November up to 3,600 eagles gather in one place: the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in Haines, Alaska. It is the largest gathering of eagles on earth.

The Preserve holds unique conditions for these magnificent birds: Sections of the Chilkat River remain ice-free and an unusually late run of salmon from November until January provides a food source for bald eagles.

The preserve is also the traditional home of the Chilkat and Tlingit people.

Photographer and naturalist Joe Ordonez tells the history of this extraordinary place in his self-published book Where Eagles Gather. It features stunning photographs of eagles in the preserve and breathtaking views of the landscape.

Since he was a child, Ordonez has been fascinated by eagles.

“The first bald eagle I saw was when I was 10 years old in a zoo in Washington DC,” he says.

“I’ll never forget the wild look in that eagle’s eyes, even though it was in an enclosure. “ I moved to Washington State from the East Coast as a teenager, and was in awe when I saw my first bald eagle in the wild there.”

Ordonez first came to Haines in 1986 working as a naturalist on an 80 passenger expedition vessel. He was fascinated by the Chilkat Eagle Preserve and started working as a river guide there.

“Tourism in Haines grew, and I realized that many visitors, and even their guides, did not really understand the story behind the preserve,” he says. “It is a story of conflict and compromise, of people coming together.”

In 1982 there were disputes between the federal government, the National Audubon Society, Alaska Governor Jay Hammond and national and local conservationists. On the other side were the logging companies, the Haines chapter of the Alaska Miners’ Association and pro-development locals, he writes in the book.

This is Not the Yukon: Life in Southern Ontario with Joslyn Kilborn

Minimallusion

A

fter months of slowly working on my camper, I pull an all-nighter on the last day of April, frantically paring my possessions down to what can fit inside my new miniscule home. Innumerable donated garbage bags later, my bedroom is stripped to its bones and inside my camper sits a very pleasing little pile of the items I’ve kept. I take a photo of the small pile, sending it to some friends with the words: “Everything I own.”

I spend the next two weeks parked outside a friend’s house, casually bragging to everyone I know that I’m currently living out of a vehicle. Then I leave for the Yukon.

For the next year and a half I cycle through possessions – they quickly accumulate during a house sit, shrink back when I leave, then grow to fill the shelves of a winter cabin, requiring a dramatic purge to fit back into the camper.

I become a revolving door for clothes and kitchenware – from the freestore, to my cupboards, back to the freestore. It gets easier and easier to let go of things I come to love, but I also find a few key items always make it through the purge: a too-big leather vest I claimed when my grandfather died, a thick wool sweater Sam

After brushing, I’ll spit my toothpaste into my ‘grey water system’, ie, a mason jar gave me before he went to Iceland that I’ve worn twice, the alpaca poncho Cas brought back for me from Argentina.

With fewer possessions, my attachment to the objects in my life seems to intensify rather than diminish. But it also clarifies which objects are important to me. Always the ones with stories.

I might tell all this to someone

sitting beside me in a bar and they might call me a minimalist – and I would like that suggestion. It feels good to be associated with simplicity. I have certainly been known to proudly point at my motorhome and say it contains everything I own in the world.

Then, back in Ontario this winter, I move into an apartment in Toronto, a very small 7x10 bed-

room in a house with a few other women. Motorhome safely waiting in the Yukon for my return, I have little more than the possessions I could fly back with. I borrow a foam cot for my bed, am offered a tiny desk, find an old chair in the street. It takes me less than two hours to clean, unpack, and set everything up.

I take a photo of my new home

       counting nd a

and send it to some friends: “By far the smallest bedroom I’ve ever lived in, and my things can barely fill it.”

When I walk over to visit my sister, who still lives in that same apartment I hurriedly moved out of and into my camper, I am met with a different reality.

She’s already sent a lot of things to our parents’ house – six boxes of my books, stacks of framed prints from my photography show, my record player. But it’s a fraction of what is still there.

My knitting supplies. My sewing supplies. My sewing machine. Several winter coats. Several winter boots. Other boots. Shoes. Sandals. All my old cameras. Blankets, pillows, carpets, my skates, my dishes, my coffee maker, my lamps, my mattress, my bed frame, my radio, my speakers.

Some of it she is using. Most of it is taking up space in her closets and shelves.

It seems that (almost) everything I own in the world I actually left at my old apartment for my sister to deal with.

My Journey to Confidence, Clarity, Empowerment & Freedom

by Catherine Lamarche

dedicated to a “deep cleaning” of my life. To do this, I was open minded, committed and determined in having the best life.

I learned that I always have a choice: I can say yes or no to a meeting, change my perception on a situation or stay away from people that drain me.

This was not easy, actually it was quite hard, but with practice and commitment, life became easier, simpler, better and the hard work was so worth it.

Prioritizing the moments related to my personal growth was the best investment I could have done for myself and everyone

SELF-AWARENESS I always thought I had a good idea of who I was, but I soon realized that I was on auto-pilot most of the time and my beliefs were not mine but others’.

Thanks to many tools and support from my coach, I improved my relationship with myself very quickly. I was able to get a clear picture of who I am and what gives me energy. I really had to prioritize my “me” moments where I made sure that there were no distractions or I wasn’t multitasking.

PRACTICING The first three months were

PRIORITIZING To become the best mother, I thought I had to give Elsa everything; I thought I had to put her first (most likely because I saw most parents do this). When Elsa was born, I decided to change my career from a teacher to a life coach. Through the training, and the support of my own life coach, I quickly learned that to become the best mother, I had to focus on my relationship with myself. This confused me.

Well North with Selene Vakharia

Healthy Resolutions You can Keep PHOTO: Selene Vakharia

S

ome of the most common resolutions made in the New Year are about health. Almost 70 per cent of consumers surveyed

by Nielsen in 2015 had made resolutions focused on staying fit, healthy, and svelte.

Of course, the most commonly broken and failed resolutions are also those about health. Perhaps this is not surprising. How many times have you vowed to go to the gym every day or quit your longterm relationship with coffee and given up a month into the new year?

Excited to take on a new self in the new year, many people will make unrealistic and extreme resolutions and then feel discouraged when they can’t deliver. It can be daunting to keep resolutions that make too big of a jump from your current everyday.

If health is on your priority list for 2016, take the approach of setting small, attainable goals instead of overwhelming ones and you will be far more likely to find success. To help you on your road to being the best you this year, here are four realistic resolutions

Sliced peaches and other fruit on a base made from almonds, pecans, and dates offer a healthy treat for the sweet tooth that can easily be incorporated into everyday life.

1. Embrace the Whole Grain This year, ditch refined flours and foods and aim to eat whole grains. Refined grains are not only lacking in nutrients, but they can actually harm your body as well.

In refining grains, their fibre is removed, rendering them as simple carbohydrates, which can spike blood sugar and leave you crav-

ing more in a short time. In their whole form, grains are full of fibre and rich in B vitamins.

To make this resolution easy to adopt: Swap out white rice for brown or wild rice in sushi, stir-fries, and curries.

Keep barley, millet, or quinoa cooked, in the fridge, and ready to be added to meals.

2. Eat More Vegetables Many health resolutions normally focus on depriving yourself of something: sugar, fast food, TV. This one is the opposite – it’s something to enjoy more of. Experiment with new vegetables and new ways of preparing them to get different flavours and nutrients into your diet.

To make this resolution easy to adopt: Keep pre-cut vegetables in your fridge so that you can easily

throw them into dishes.

Try eating vegetables raw for a different texture, freshness, and taste – zucchini noodles are amazing.

3. Brown Bag It Bring your own lunch to work.

This will save you the money, calories, and unhealthy food choices that tend to accompany eating out. Factor lunches into your weekly meal planning and preparing so that you’re ready to go without a fuss in the morning.

To make this resolution easy to adopt: Make a large batch of a healthy recipe one evening or on the weekend and freeze it in easy to grab portions for lunch.

Organize a soup swap with your friends so that you won’t feel like you’re compromising on being social and having fun to make food.

4. Adopt a Healthy Dessert Habit Giving up sweets and treats for good is not a resolution many people will be able to keep for long. So instead, swap out the junky treats for healthy versions that have all the delicious flavour without all the refined ingredients or unhealthy additives.

To make this resolution easy to adopt: Check out Pinterest or Google for some recipes.

Don’t get stuck trying to make healthier versions of cookies and cupcakes. While it’s possible to do so, it is far more fun and much simpler to realize that there is a whole new world of desserts you have never heard of. Experiment with frozen fruit ice cream, chia seed pudding, avocado mousse and almond cacao truffles.

Whatever your resolutions are for 2016, remember to keep them realistic and achievable and don’t beat yourself up if you slip up here and there. Keeping up a habit for 365 days is challenging, so aim for most of the time rather than all of the time.

before they make it to the shelf, ensuring a high-quality, standardized product.

“We’re just looking for the occasional crack or blood fleck or imperfect yolk, that sort of thing,” says Simone Rudge.

Rudge, of Aurora Mountain Farms, coowns Farmer Robert’s Store in Whitehorse with Robert Ryan of Ibex Valley Farms.

Farmer Robert’s has recently opened a new egg-inspection and processing facility which allows them to sell their locally-raised eggs commercially. Previously all eggs sold in stores in the Yukon had come from outside the territory.

“Rob (Ryan) could see a huge demand for local eggs,” Rudge says, adding that they’ve sold 884 dozen in the two months since the new project started. “(Ryan) bought 500 chickens and now we’re getting 500 eggs every day…. you’ve got to have something to do with them!” she jokes.

The layers are a breed known as Bovan Rouge, imported from Quebec. The standard breed use in most commercial egg laying facilities in Canada is the White Leghorn.

“The Bovans do better in cold and are less fragile (than the standard breed),” Rudge says.

In addition to this new local facility, Rudge says they are preparing a cutting room, so that they can butcher (although not slaughter) locally-raised meat on premise. While at present they are already selling locally-raised boar, chicken and elk, this will allow them to do a larger volume and add beef to the lineup. They hope to have locally raised and produced beef available by the end of January.

There are many new opportunities opening up for farmers and retailers as the business of local agriculture expands, says Rudge.

“If anyone is thinking about growing new vegetables in the territory,” she says, “now is definitely the time.”

DISCourse with Barry “Jack” Jenkins

It’s All About the Jazz Fawn Fritzen is back to business

W

hitehorse jazz singer and songwriter Fawn Fritzen recently returned from Toronto and is ready to get back to business. While in Toronto, Fritzen participated in Coalition Music’s ten-week Artist Entrepreneur program, learning more about business aspects of the musician’s life, as well as finding opportunities to write, perform and record her music.

Fritzen found out about the program when she signed up for Coalition Music’s weekend bootcamp this past January.

She says, “It was a really intense weekend because they were trying to take that 10-week program and squeeze it into a weekend. So you can imagine how heavy it is, but also how they can only skim the surface of a lot of things.”

Since she found the bootcamp so rewarding, she and her husband Michael Pealow found a way for her to attend the full program in Toronto, which started in August.

“It teaches emerging artists all the business aspects of being an artist, like social media presence and artist-rights organizations, all the different ones that there are and why there are different ones and what they all cover, insurance that you might need as a musician - all the aspects of the business side of music that musicians don’t want to think about or don’t know about.

“It can be hard to gather all that information on your own, despite the fact that I have a business degree. The business side doesn’t scare me. But it can be kind of opaque to figure out on your own, especially when you’re still trying to write music and pro-

mote your shows.”

The program also involved performance coaches and encouraged participants to collaborate artistically. “It was well-rounded, but the focus was on the business side,” she explains.

Fritzen also recorded tracks for her upcoming album, Pairings.

Begun in Whitehorse, the album will feature several guest musicians who have toured through the Yukon, including George Koller, Reg Schwager and David Restivo.

Several tracks were recorded in Toronto.

She took advantage of every opportunity that came her way, joining in with jazz jams, doing an impromptu set at one of Kim Beggs’ shows, performing at the Jazz Bistro with pianist Restivo, and even at a backyard concert.

She met up with her co-producer and accompanist, pianist Daniel Janke, who was in Montreal, for a concert at Musideum.

They also performed at a Guess Who tribute concert at Hugh’s Room. “We did American Woman, which was really fun. Daniel picked that one. I said, Really?

That’s like the rockiest of all the tunes. Did you really want to do that one? He started with this really long extended blues intro, so nobody knew what was coming until we got into it. And we did No Time, which has some really great harmonies in it.”

Despite Toronto’s reputation as a self-centred and cold-hearted place that people love to hate, Fritzen was able to find a warm, music-loving family of musicians and fans. “It really felt like doing a show at home, all these familiar faces and they were enthusiastic and warm.

Cat’s Meow

“I didn’t expect to feel embraced like that, that there was a community there, especially after spending such a short time, but it really is a welcoming community.”

Fritzen is planning to launch a crowdfunding campaign, to release her next album this spring, and hopes to tour in the summer.

Fostering the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being of all First Nation people.

WO M E N ’ S L E G A L A DVO C AT E

E M E RG E N C Y YO U T H S H E LT E R

The final report following the review of Yukon’s Police Force is called “Sharing Common Ground”, and it contains numerous recommendations for the establishment of new relationships between Yukon citizens and the RCMP. One of those recommendations includes the consideration of a legal advocate position to support women.

The Emergency Youth Shelter is open to youth between the ages of 17 and 23.

Skookum Jim Friendship Centre is pleased to be housing the newly established Women’s Legal Advocate, Chantal Genier. Chantal is available to ALL Yukon Women intersecting with the police and criminal justice system, either as complainants or accused persons, to provide general information, support, referrals and advocacy in the areas of family law, child protection, criminal law, victim support and landlord and tenancy issues.

The advocate is NOT A LAWYER, and does not provide legal advice. The advocate acts more as a liaison or as an “interpreter” of legal jargon and proceedings to help women understand unfamiliar legal terms and complex processes. The advocate travels regularly to Yukon communities to meet with clients as well as service providers to identify trends and gaps in training needs.

Open 7 days a week Monday - Friday: 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. Dinner and Breakfast and a snack bag are provided.

Weekends: Open 24 hours. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner are provided.

There is a dedicated Outreach staff who works with clients to help establish a plan for independence that includes help with finding housing, exploring employment options, education options, reconnecting with family and connecting with other services such as counselling and Drug and Alcohol Services.

For more information, or to to make an intake appointment, contact the Outreach Coordinator at 633-7699 or 633-7680.

T R A D I T I O N A L PA R E N T I N G P RO G R A M

Chantal will be in Carmacks on January 8th, Burwash Landing on January 14th, Beaver Creek on January 15th and Haines Junction on January 27th.

The Traditional Parenting Program Facilitator’s Training will be held January 25 to January 29

To make an appointment or for more information, contact Chantal at (867) 633-7691, or email legaladvocate@northwestel.net. Collect calls are accepted.

To sign up, please contact Nicole at 633-7692 or Alex at 633-7690

There is a 250.00 fee for the TPP manual and the training will be held in the basement of the Skookum Jim Friendship Centre.
