Not having that access, especially between when ferry service stops and the ice freezes, “is going to have a huge impact,” said Ladue.

He will host a community meeting to discuss the issue within the next week or so, he said.

Kevin Barr, the NDP’s critic for community services, wants to know why it took so long to figure out that the bridge was so unsafe, he said.

“This bridge has been in disarray for quite some time, and they haven’t acted on it.”

He asked the Yukon Party in April why the bridge had been allowed to fall into disrepair.

Elaine Taylor, then minister of Community Services, responded.

“Community Services is looking at options for repairs or replacement of the bridge structure and have undertaken the assessment services of an engineering firm as well,” said Taylor. “In the meantime, we have put up a caution sign, and a chain has been installed just to ensure that individuals are aware of the issues with respect to the current state of the bridge.”

In June, the government announced $1.1 million towards repairing the bridge, with the work to be completed by the end of the year.

But the start date for the engineering consultant contract wasn’t until July 23, according to the government’s contract registry.

“How come we’re still waiting?

It’s October first,” said Barr.

“Liard First Nation indicated to the department that it would not issue benefit cheques to existing clients, despite the legal obligation to deliver assistance as determined in their funding arrangement,” the email said.

The department said it will be in Watson Lake today to offer emergency assistance to those who need it.

Softball Yukon steps up to Sima plate Jesse Winter News Reporter

W

hen the City of Whitehorse said no to the Friends of Sima Society last week, the volunteers went looking for help somewhere else.

They found it in a surprising place.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Softball Yukon announced it is stepping up to the plate with a $20,000 donation and a $50,000 loan to the new society. The total is nearly everything the Friends of Sima had asked for from city councillors last week, only to be rejected.

Softball and snow sports may seem like an odd couple, but George Arcand, the executive director of Softball Yukon, said it’s all about supporting fellow athletes.

“We felt it was important to have that hill open for kids in this community,” said Arcand.

The support is a one-time contribution that won’t curtail Softball Yukon’s ability to host the upcoming world championships or impact its other programs, Arcand said.

Softball Yukon isn’t the only organization stepping up, either. Community Services Minister Brad Cathers said the Yukon government will make good on its promise to match funding up to $70,000, regardless of whether the city puts up any cash.

That removes a condition that the government had placed on its support, which made the money dependent on a “significant contribution” from the city.

That contribution was expected to come in the form of $65,000 – the same amount it would cost to temporarily close the ski hill – that city administration had recommended be given to the Friends of Sima. But last week, city council voted against the funding.

“Quite frankly we don’t understand why the decision would be made to spend $65,000 to mothball it and yet not be prepared to contribute that same amount even if it was contingent on Friends of Sima reaching certain milestones in terms of pledges

Ian Stewart/Yukon News

George Arcand, executive director of Softball Yukon, announced a $20,000 donation and a $50,000 loan to the Friends of Sima Society on Monday. or fundraising,” Cathers said.

All told, the newly formed society has pulled in promises totaling approximately $605,000. That includes around $320,000 in pledged season passes.

But right now, the society doesn’t have a single penny in the bank.

“I have a cheque that I’ve been carrying around for a week now for a ski pass from a city councillor. That will be the first deposit that I make,” said the society’s newly minted president, Laurie Henderson.

“We have been very clear on all of this. As generous as this money is, we’re not taking it without considerable thought. Realization of these dollars will depend on getting the pledge money in the bank,” she said.

That will be the next big push, Henderson said.

The society will make an announcement by Friday telling people

how to go about paying up, and anyone who hasn’t yet made a pledge can still do so, she said.

“How many passes we sell in the next three weeks will be the crucial part. There’s no way we would turn someone away who hasn’t made a pledge yet,” she said.

Along with the pledges, the group still needs to find an additional $50,000 from the business community, said society vice-president Rod Taylor.

“Ideally we’d like to raise $75,000 because we know that one of the issues in the past has been those contingencies … like mechanical breakdown, weather, etc.,” Taylor said.

At last week’s city council meeting, the Friends of Sima asked the city for a total of $72,500. The $70,000 in funding promised by Softball Yukon still leaves them $2,500 short.

Councillor Kirk Cameron an-

nounced at the press conference that his company, northSense, will step up and fill that $2,500 gap.

“These guys get 100 per cent of my support on anything they do. I’ll continue to work with them over the winter, and push and prod the business community,” Cameron said.

Cameron and Coun. John Streicker were the only two who voted in favour of the city providing funding at last week’s meeting.

“City council set the bar 10 weeks ago saying, ‘Community, you’ve got to step forward.’ And in spades, they did just that. This is a groundswell like none other that I’ve ever seen in this community,” he said.

Coun. Betty Irwin was also at Tuesday’s announcement. Last week she voted against funding the hill with city money. On Tuesday, she said that seeing the community come forward to fill the gap was exactly what

city council had hoped for.

“I think this is a wonderful thing that has happened. It’s what, I think, all of us on council wanted. I’m absolutely delighted to see how it has worked out,” she said.

After last week’s council meeting, the implication was that if the city wasn’t going to fund an open hill, it would have to pay the $65,000 to mothball the facility. But Irwin disputed that.

“We never said that we were going to mothball the facility. That was just one of the things that was talked about. As for the city’s part from now on, I don’t know. If the Friends of Mount Sima come forward with another proposal, another request for assistance, of course we’ll consider it,” she said.

The building will last ment and Export Authority, upwards of 50 years, giving the which owns the terminal, have export authority decades to make money from other mines wanting run aground. to ship from Skagway, Eaton said.

“If we don’t have a terminal, News Reporter

C

In August, the export authority announced plans for a $7.5-million expansion of the terminal, including extending the ore storage facility, building more truck loading bays and a covered stockpile area.

Under that plan, Eagle would help pay back the cost of the building with lease payments over the five-year life of the magnetite project.

At the time, AIDEA spokesman Karston Rodvik said the deal had been two years in the making, and that it just needed to be finalized.

But now the problem, Eaton said, is that suddenly AIDEA is being unreasonable in its negotiation demands.

“They have insisted not only that we pay for 100 per cent of the building, and that we pay for it in a four-year period, but to make

it even worse they’ve front-end loaded the payments so that we pay two-thirds of the amount in the first two years and the other third in the next two years,” he said.

Rodvik declined to comment, other than to issue a one-line email that stated: “It is not accurate for Mr. Eaton to describe our negotiations as ‘broken down.’ We recently provided him with more information and are awaiting his response.”

Eaton thinks that AIDEA has lost sight of its job.

“They are doing this because they are so risk-averse, and we think they have lost track of their purported primary goal, which is to promote economic exports from Alaska. We think they are now just so focused on risk mitigation that they demand crazy

things,” he said.

Eagle will keep trying to negotiate with AIDEA, Eaton said, but his hopes are not high.

There is one other option.

Eagle Minerals could find a way to build its own facility and load ore without using the Skagway ore terminal itself. That would be more expensive, but it would give Eagle the power to charge other mines for the use of the facility into the future.

“We would build our own building and ship loader. We’d have a nice, permanent building that other potential miners like Western Copper could use. We’d be doing what AIDEA should be doing,” Eaton said.

said.

Johnson was found with needles when she was arrested alongside Cornell, the lawyer reminded the jury. Those needles were considered a risk and led to a more thorough search, he said.

Parkkari encouraged the jury to look at the case as a whole, not the single pieces of evidence in isolation.

He was critical of Cornell’s version of events, particularly the part where he claimed to have jogged 12 kilometres in about an hour from the vehicle he says he was in to Johnson in the damaged Blazer.

For a drug addict travelling at night through the bush at the side of the highway, that’s not realistic, Parkkari said.

He also suggested it is unlikely Cornell would leave his fiancee alone to go off and do a drug deal with someone he doesn’t know.

He pointed out that Cornell was seen later that morning with a rifle and was arrested with a bag containing bear spray.

Cornell claims he picked up those things from the Blazer when he met up with Johnson.

Parkkari noted the bag also contained a brown outer shell of a jacket. Oakley testified one of the people he saw was wearing a brown parka. The prosecutor suggested that, overtop of all the other layers Cornell was wearing, the brown shell may have looked like a parka.

Cornell’s DNA was only found on a crack pipe and the rifle, both of which he admitted to handling. No unidentified samples were found, said Parkkari, including nothing that would point to someone else.

The jury is scheduled to receive its final instructions from Justice Leigh Gower this morning. After that, they will be sequestered, away from any outside contact until they reach a verdict.

According to documents before the court, Bicudo entered the contract services office at approximately 3:55 p.m. on Aug 15, the day of the deadline.

He was trying to add up the unit prices in the bid to come up with the final total, but his calculator broke.

Staff at the office told him that they could add up the total so long as the rest of the information was complete. Bicudo sealed the bid and a staff member timestamped it at 3:59.

He then asked for the sealed Mike Thomas/Yukon News bid back.

Finding it to be 4:00, she handed the bid back to Bicudo and told him it would be accepted until the clock struck 4:01.

Bicudo ripped open the package and made a small mark on the document.

It was then resealed, and then time-stamped a second time, this time with “4:00.”

Perhaps government staff should not have returned the document to Bicudo after the deadline, but he violated the rules simply by asking for it, said Veale.

According to the instructions to bidders, tenders can only be returned by written request submitted before the deadline.

Yukon predicts bumper year ahead Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

T

he Yukon government has forecast a dramatic recovery for the mining industry in 2014.

The economic outlook report was released last week.

It predicts the territory’s gross domestic product will have grown by 0.9 per cent in 2013. That’s among the slowest in Canada, according to TD Economics’ July report.

But for 2014, Yukon has predicted 8.8 per cent GDP growth, driven largely by increased mining production and construction, as well as government capital expenditures.

That forecast depends on a relatively small number of mining projects sticking to ambitious timelines.

Victoria Gold must secure $400 million in financing if it is to begin major earthworks as scheduled for next spring.

Alexco’s Bellekeno mine has shuttered for the winter, and whether or not it restarts production depends both on a recovery in the silver price and the company’s ability to cut underlying costs.

Derrick Hynes, the government’s director of business and economic research, said the report is not specifically counting on any particular project to go ahead.

Dawson hospital insulation being replaced Dawson City’s new hospital has hit yet another problem with defective materials.

Much of the spray-foam insulation underneath the siding is being replaced after it was discovered that it had not cured properly, said Jason Bilsky, CEO of the Yukon Hospital

“What we don’t want to do in exercises like this is start naming off particular mines and what month of the year we anticipate that they’re going to start producing.”

But the government does expect a recovery in the mining sector in the next year, he said.

“All indications are for 2014 that the mining sector in particular will be healthy and robust. While there has been a slight decline in some commodity prices over this summer, it’s expected that in most cases they will rebound in 2014.”

Keith Halliday, a Yukon economist and self-professed lover of economic forecasts, said businesses need to understand the risk in interpreting reports like this one.

“It’s that old Yogi Berra quote: There’s nothing harder to predict than the future.”

Predicting Yukon’s economic future is particularly tricky, he said.

“The fact that our economy is smaller and more exposed to the mining sector means that our forecast will have more volatility than a larger province with a more diversified economy.”

Businesses must be ready for a scenario where the Yukon economy does really well and also for one where the outlook is not so great, he said.

“We have to be prepared for the possibility of bad news.”

Rick Karp, president of the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce, is not feeling terribly optimistic, he said.

“It doesn’t seem to us as if the mining sector is going to produce what the department thinks it’s going to produce.”

While the economic outlook report shows modest declines in the retail sector for this year, the actual impact has been quite large, he said.

What’s hidden in the numbers is that while overall retail sales are in decline, gasoline sales are up quite a bit, said Karp.

So retailers that do not sell gasoline have taken a bigger hit than is immediately obvious, he said.

“When you’re talking about small businesses on Main Street, we’re seeing declines. We’re seeing consistent declines.”

While the chamber would be very pleased if the predicted growth for 2014 materialized, it is “a little skeptical,” said Karp.

“We’re pleased in a way that the Department of Economic Development is being so positive and so pumped, and that’s really good, but of course we would like to see some facts.”

Corporation.

The problem was noticed as workers were replacing the siding on the building, which was also defective and couldn’t withstand Dawson’s harsh climate, Bilsky said.

The siding problems were discovered earlier this summer.

“The last of the siding is in Whitehorse today, and should be installed by the end of the week,” said hospital corporation spokeswoman Val Pike.

Pike said the problem doesn’t affect all of the insulation, only what was underneath the defective siding.

The replacement isn’t expected to delay the opening of the new hospital, still expected sometime before the end of the year, Bilsky said. He couldn’t say at this point how much this latest problem will cost, or whether it might be covered by the company that installed the insulation to begin with.

field, or solar storms and cosmic rays have in the past influenced climate change.

Let us note three things, however. First, the most powerful climate change cycles occurred slowly, perhaps over millennia, so many species were able to migrate fast enough to remain viable as temperature zones shifted. Today’s changes, however, are orders of magnitude faster, even considering the present slowdown of the warming.

Second, given these natural cycles, we are a couple of thousand years overdue for re-glaciation, yet temperatures have been moving in the opposite direction.

Third, radical physical changes on Earth like the ice age and then de-glaciation resulted from comparatively small changes in temperature.

Climate experts acknowledge these natural cycles, but most believe that they have caused much less than half and more probably about 15 per cent of the present warming trend.

Are any explanations for this pause in warming since about the turn of the century consistent with global warming? Yes. For one, oceans have absorbed more heat than expected, due to changes in wind and current patterns, and have thus reduced the impact on air temperatures. (This rise, by the way, threatens many ocean species and is ominous for Reporters

coral reef ecosystems. Also, since much greenhouse gas is eventually sequestered in the oceans, their increased acidification will also be a major threat to marine life.)

Another factor reducing the warming impact of greenhouse gases is, counter-intuitively, the burning of huge amounts of coal, because it produces vast amounts of particulates which in the short term help shield the earth from solar radiation. Unfortunately, this apparently benign effect lasts only months or years, while the increased greenhouse gases from that combustion will remain in the atmosphere for centuries. So coal has to be phased out fast.

Also worthy of note is the cooling effect observed from 2008-11 because of volcanic eruptions and aerosols in the air and perhaps lower solar radiation at the present stage of the solar cycle.

I do not doubt the sincerity of many people who reject the scientific consensus, but urge undecided

readers to check out the affiliations and academic qualifications of the few ostensible “experts” who debunk anthropogenic climate change.

True, climate change is extraordinarily complex and not all its mechanisms are entirely understood. But as a legally-trained layman, I have weighed the evidence (as I was taught to do) and conclude both that anthropogenic climate change is occurring and that it poses an existential threat to modern civilization.

I say this, not to induce panic or hopelessness, but to urge all interested citizens (is anyone dull enough to believe that such a threat should just be ignored?) to inform themselves and then insist that our political leaders respond with ingenuity and vigour.

LETTERS

Let’s discuss fracking with the experts Open letter to Patti McLeod and the select committee on hydraulic fracturing, Thank you for the update you provided in your open letter of September 24, 2013. The Yukon Conservation Society is encouraged by the work you describe in your letter and would like to follow up on some points.

We look forward to reviewing the presentations and briefing notes on hydraulic fracturing that you receive from Yukon government departments, the water board and YESAB. When can the public expect to see them on your website?

It was in the spirit of the educational process you refer to in your public letter that we invited the committee to the recent workshop on hydraulic fracturing facilitated by Andrew Nikiforuk. We were pleased that some of you were able to attend the evening public lecture.

YCS notes that the committee plans to visit a gas field that uses hydraulic fracturing. It would be most educational to visit sites that are examples of best practices and others that show negative impacts from fracking.

Another way to understand risks as well industry’s benefit claims would be to engage two guides/ interpreters: one from industry and another to talk about the risks to the local environment, communities and traditional lifestyles.

Caleb Behn from Treaty 8 territory, which includes the Horn River Basin, would be a good

executives here.

Meanwhile, The Australian’s Tokyo correspondent reports that the Nikkei Shimbun predicts that 10 per cent of Japan’s massive gas appetite will be fed by Western Canadian gas by 2020.

Japan’s demand for natural gas is expected to grow even more now that the country is shutting down its nuclear reactors following the Fukushima disaster last year.

Japanese Prime Minister Abe made Ottawa the first stop on his recent North American tour, saying that Japan wanted to “secure a stable supply of LNG (liquefied natural gas) at competitive prices.”

Plenty of Australians have qualms about the environmental impact of natural gas extraction, and the risk that the economy will become too reliant on gas exports. Some politicians have complained about exporting so much Australian gas to Asia that local prices have gone up. The

example of someone to provide the community perspective. He is a graduate of the University of Victoria’s faculty of law, and is a well-known public speaker about the effects of the oil and gas industry on his community and traditional territory.

When the select committee was initially struck, its mandate included community visits to Watson Lake and Old Crow. It now appears that Whitehorse has been added to the list with the possibility of additional communities. YCS cannot reiterate strongly enough that all Yukoners need to be consulted because fracking would affect everyone.

The select committee must hold public hearings in all Yukon communities and offer to meet with all First Nations.

We were encouraged to read in your letter that you are committed to learning about both the potential benefits and risks of hydraulic fracturing. To help you achieve this balance, it is necessary to engage experts who will share with you and the Yukon public some of the environmental, social and economic risks of fracking.

YCS would be happy to partner with the select committee to bring any or all of the following experts to the territory: • Anthony Ingraffea, a professor of engineering at Cornell University in New York, where he studies how solids fracture. He is an expert on the risks associated with well integrity and fracking

Australian Financial Review reports that households in the state of Victoria will see $300 spikes in their annual gas bills, and that Australian manufacturers are struggling under the double whammy of a high dollar and high energy costs.

The Australian papers have also been full of news about the most recent scientific reports on climate change. Dry and hot weather has made bush fires a top news item.

The newly elected coalition government, led by rightwinger Tony Abbott, doesn’t look worried. They are pushing hard on energy production. On the day the government was sworn in, Abbott ordered an end to Australia’s carbon tax. It’s not clear he has the votes in the Senate to kill the tax, but his intentions are clear. The coalition government has also made coal-bed methane a priority, much to the horror of Australian environmentalists.

It looks like Canadian and Australian gas will be competing for Asian buyers, along with gas from Russia, Central Asia, Burma and maybe even Vietnam. Northwestern North America’s huge gas reserves are attracting attention from around the Pacific.

Big name energy companies from Korea, Japan and China have made big investments in northern British Columbia already.

Our corner of North America can expect plenty more attention from global energy markets in the years to come.

We might hope to be known for our mountains, rivers and northern lights. But at the moment the world seems more interested in our fracking.

The issue is accountability Open letter to Yukon News and Whitehorse Star: Your publications, as well as the CBC, CHON and CKRW, go a long way to shape the views of Yukon citizens. Recently, I have read the letter to the editor from both the Yukon and Whitehorse aboriginal women’s councils in response to Liard First Nation’s decision to withdraw support for the Liard Aboriginal Women’s Society (LAWS).

You, as the print media, did not print my full letter to the LAWS board. As such the story has evolved with the perception that LFN is withdrawing support because this is a women’s group.

Wednesday, October 2, 2013

This is of course fundamentally not the case and it would have been evident to the public if you had chosen to actually print my letter.

In that letter I made it very clear that LFN was withdrawing support for LAWS because LAWS had received very significant amounts of public funding, yet it has taken the position through its legal counsel over the last year that it is not accountable to the membership of Liard First Nation or other Kaska citizens.

The issue is not the goals that LAWS has with respect to violence.

I and my council have steadfastly supported those goals over the years and have placed our names on numerous funding applications to that end. The issue, fundamentally, is accountability.

There are many residential school survivors, young LFN citizens, and individuals in need of drug and alcohol or sexual abuse counselling that could have benefitted from the resources LAWS receives.

I and my council endorse and commend the Yukon and Whitehorse aboriginal women’s councils for an extremely well-written statement in the Wednesday newspaper.

The whole letter was well done and in particular the final paragraphs where it stated: “We support a right to freedom from violence for all community members but particularly women, children, elders and others who may be vulnerable.

We are here to help people and strengthen a zero-tolerance policy against all actions that violate the emotional and physical safety of

others.”

Yes, violence and intimidation are unfortunately still far too common in our society. I have had LFN members who are women complain about the violence and shunning and the abuse of power that goes on in our community in the present day. Perhaps some of these women will one day find the strength to talk to YAWC and WAWC and share their thoughts on what is going on in our community.

Thanks for help following plane crash On Wednesday, Sept. 25, Ken Rombough took flight from Fort Nelson’s Gordon Airfield in a Seawind 2000. These planes are considered amateur or kit built; however, this particular aircraft was built at the Seawind factory.

Shortly after takeoff a loud noise was heard which we now know was a mechanical engine failure that subsequently caused an in-flight fire. Ken called an emergency into flight services before losing engine power.

We are thankful that Ken is a very experienced pilot and was able to fly the plane without the engine running, in an attempt to land on a street in Fort Nelson. He managed to fly between the power lines; however, on the last set of lines the landing gear clipped the silver and white neutral line that is very difficult to see. We are extremely grateful that he did not sustain extremely serious injuries.

Ken would like to thank the folks at flight services for their immediate response. We would like to thank all of those people who work in the emergency services who responded to the accident: Dr. Hattingh and nurse Alonnie; the folks who assisted Ken once he had gotten himself out of the plane; Lou, Scott and Alisha from Brandt Tractor; and Victoria from Cat Rentals. Special thanks to Dave Soles, Brent Munro, Travis Hunter, Marty Wells, Dean Lorenz, Kevin Elgie and Lorne Kelly.

Thank you to everyone for your calls of concern and support.

Also special thanks to Wade Roberts and Rick Nielson of Whitehorse for getting our Chris and Ralph to us. We apologize for anyone that we may have missed.

Environmentalists, loggers seek consensus as Boreal Forest Agreement hits reset Bruce Cheadle Canadian Press

OTTAWA We’re not out of the woods yet.”

In her rush to explain the promise and the peril of the three-year-old Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement, Janet Sumner doesn’t even pause to consider her unintended pun.

Sumner, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, is among those heralding a “reset” in a groundbreaking co-operative experiment between environmental groups and the forestry industry.

The agreement, known as the CBFA, could serve as a model for industry and environmental groups that shout past one another while polarizing their constituencies and solving nothing. But the agreement has to be shown to produce real results and so far those have been hard to come by.

“We all share that frustration,” Aran O’Carroll, the group’s interim executive director, said Wednesday in an interview with The Canadian Press.

“We set out a very ambitious and aggressive set of milestones.”

The 2010 agreement, which currently includes 19 forestry companies and seven environmental organizations, was coming apart at the seams last spring after two major environmental groups quit and negotiations with Resolute Forest Products reached

“

a stalemate.

“This summer all the signatories sat down, reaffirmed their commitment to the agreement and we’ve been working hard over the summer to recalibrate our work plans, identify priorities for our work and set new milestones,” said O’Carroll.

A series of agreements will be announced this fall and winter, said O’Carroll.

And the CBFA is still waiting on the province of Ontario to sign off on an agreement in northeastern Ontario that has been approved by local communities, First Nations and non-signatory forest companies. The proposal protects over 800,000 hectares of forest while increasing harvestable timber by 20 per cent, thus protecting local mills.

However negotiators were simply unable to get a satisfactory agreement on the vast, top priority “phase one” forest areas in Quebec and Ontario, Sumner said in a phone interview.

Talks had been “bubbling away” in other regions and the focus has shifted to those more productive discussions, she said.

“For (Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society) very specifically, we’re working in Newfoundland, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and seeing those conversations with those companies really starting to bear some fruit.”

And that has advocates of the Canadian Boreal Forest Agree-

Canada has about a third of the world’s boreal forest; getting co-operation on its management between environmentalists and loggers is seen as a potential model for other resource sectors, including oil and gas.

Lazar contrasts the “tug of war” over the oilsands – “I’ll get my billionaire to beat up on your billionaire,” he says – with the forest talks.

“You have grown-up humans sitting in a room together with a map.”

A hard-won agreement among the CBFA signatories on scientific methodology is “a small miracle of consensus ment back on a public relations building,” said Lazar. offensive this fall.

with other industrial sectors.”

But some key environmental groups have walked away from the agreement.

Both Greenpeace and Canopy, an advocacy group for sustainable forestry that was involved in the CBFA’s creation, bowed out last spring, citing a lack of progress.

“Our assessment coming up to the third anniversary, when there was not a single hectare protected on the ground, or even jointly recommended to governments for protection, was that it just wasn’t the most effective vehicle,” said Nicole Rycroft, Canopy’s executive director.

“Success is ultimately measured by results on the ground.”

Sumner argues that it’s better to have environmentalists “inside the tent” seeing industry and government data and understanding the trade-offs that can be made.

But the environmental campaigner agrees the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement was in serious trouble this summer.

“Oh yeah,” Sumner said, emphatically.

“We’re not out of the woods yet. We’ve got to produce some results. Otherwise, we’ve just agreed on a bunch of process.”

taken.

No one can say for sure, but Kenya’s security forces are strongly suspected.

Soon after the attack began on Sept. 21, Kenyan officials put a security cordon around the mall, allowing only security forces and a few government personnel to pass through.

Alcohol stocks from the restaurants have been depleted. One business owner at the mall said money and mobile phones were taken from bags and purses left behind in the mayhem. The owner insisted on anonymity to avoid retribution from Kenya’s government.

Employees of a book shop on the mall’s second floor returned to the corner shop to find cash registers yanked open and the cash gone. The store’s laptops were also stolen. All the shop’s books remained in place, said owner Paku Tsavani.

Perhaps reluctant to blame Kenyan security forces, Tsavani said he doesn’t know who took his goods.

“Obviously the terrorists wouldn’t steal those things, so we just don’t know,” Tsavani said.

Sandeep Vidyarthi went into the mall on Sunday to help a relative retrieve equipment from his dental practice. Inside he said he passed shop after shop that had been looted, including the Rado shop that sells high-end Swiss watches.

As he was exiting the mall, Vidyarthi passed a jewelry shop near the front entrance. The owner, Vidyarthi said, was presenting security officials with a long list of missing precious stones and highend necklaces now gone.

“The jeweler had written down this very long list,” he said.

It is ironic, the management team of one Westgate business told AP, that store owners now must make reports of stolen goods

and present them to security forces, when most here suspect the security forces of having done the thieving.

Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku confirmed the reports of theft in a news conference Sunday.

The majority of the responders to the terrorist attack came from Kenya’s military. A military spokesman didn’t answer repeated calls for comment.

“Those responsible for looting will be prosecuted,” Lenku said.

The mall attack also saw good Samaritans. Paresh Shah, a volunteer who helped evacuate the injured and the dead during the first day of the attack, said he carried out the body of Aleem Jamal.

Shah frowned at the memory and said he saw a Kenyan soldier take Jamal’s cigarettes while in the ambulance.

“I could never do that, take a dead man’s cigarettes,” Shah said.

Jamal’s family retrieved the body at the morgue, where his wife, Taz Jamal, said her husband’s wallet was missing.

A team of terrorists entered Westgate Mall shortly after noon on a busy Saturday, firing guns and throwing grenades. The attackers – the Somali extremist group al-Shabab claimed responsibility – held off Kenya’s military and controlled at least parts of the mall for four days. The mall now has a gaping three-story hole in it from the siege.

More than three dozen people remain unaccounted for almost a week after the end of the fourday attack that killed at least 61 civilians and six security forces, the head of the Kenyan Red Cross said Monday. The government contends there are no remaining missing people.

“The only way to verify this is when the government declares the Westgate Mall 100 per cent cleared, then we can resolve it,” Red Cross head Abbas Gullet said.

A morgue worker told AP on Monday that six body parts have been found in the rubble. The worker, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about information not yet released, said it wasn’t clear if the parts came from one or multiple bodies.

Five terrorists are believed to be under the building’s rubble but no dead hostages, said Interior Minister Lenku on Sunday. Government officials have said 10 to 15 terrorists attacked the mall. Lenku said some attackers might have escaped.

“We do not rule out the possibility that when we were evacuating people in the first stages of the operation it is possible some could have slipped out,” he said.

FBI agents, along with investigators from Britain, Canada and Germany, are participating in the investigation into the attack and are aiding Kenyan forensic experts. Results are not expected until later this week at the earliest.

Kenyan authorities have detained a total of 12 people in connection with the attack under the country’s anti-terrorism laws, including one on Sunday. Three have been set free, including a British man who was reportedly arrested last week as he tried to board a flight from Nairobi to Turkey with a bruised face and while acting suspiciously, the British Foreign Office confirmed Monday.

Ndung’u Githinji, chairman of parliament’s foreign relations committee, said officials will “rethink” Kenya’s hospitality in supporting refugee camps, a reference to Dadaab, a refugee camp near Somalia filled with more than 400,000 Somalis. Security officials say some elements in the camp support and facilitate terror attacks.

international law expert at the University of British Columbia.

“I don’t celebrate the opening of the Northwest Passage to shipping because it does raise enormous challenges to Canada and for countries around the world in terms of dealing with climate change and its consequences.”

Coll said while the reality of melting ice is somewhat unsettling, it has also opened up a new frontier.

Canada has laid claim over ownership of the passage but it is joined by Russia, the U.S., and Denmark in drafting claims before a U.N. commission to extend their undersea boundaries into ice-blocked areas.

The Nordic Orion will not undermine Canada’s legal position that the Northwest Passage constitutes internal waters, since the

ship has registered its voyage with the Canadian Coast Guard, which means it has received Canada’s permission.

It’s been more than four decades since the oil tanker SS Manhattan sailed through the Northwest Passage to test its feasibility as a trade route to deliver Alaskan oil to the U.S. East Coast, avoiding a long trip south to the Panama Canal. But its ice-hampered 1969 journey deterred others and the Americans opted for an oil pipeline to move Alaskan crude south.

The Nordic Orion has sailed through the west coast of Greenland – an area Coll described as the most dangerous, hampered with floating icebergs – but he said the vessel incurred only one choke point at Peel Sound in northern Canada in Qikiqtaaluk, Nunavut, leaving it well on its way

to having successfully navigated the passage.

The 738-foot (225-metre) long Nordic Orion, a Panamax-sized ship, has a strengthened bulk to cope with floating ice, as well as more steel and other features that make the heavy vessel suitable for the extreme Arctic conditions.

By sailing through the Northwest Passage, the Nordic Orion was able to trim about 1,000 nautical miles, which translates to four days, from its usual route through the Panama Canal. It was also able to carry about 25 per cent more coal, given how shallow the canal is. These benefits have resulted in savings of nearly $200,000 said Bulk Partners.

“But even if there wasn’t huge savings we would have done it just to do it, to pioneer it,” said Coll.

Tainted tells story of Canada’s blood scandal through affected family’s eyes Sheryl Ubelacker The Canadian Press

TORONTO t’s been called one of the worst public health crises in Canadian history – the contaminated blood scandal that left more than 1,000 Canadians infected with HIV and another 30,000 with hepatitis C. Some contracted both.

The majority were hemophiliacs who had been given blood products meant to save their lives, but the treatment turned out to be a death warrant not only for many of them, but also for loved ones whom they unwittingly infected.

Tainted, a play debuting this week in Toronto, recalls the tragic events through the eyes of a family with three hemophiliac sons who discover they have contracted both deadly diseases from the clotting factor made from contaminated blood.

Written by Kat Lanteigne, Tainted is a labour of love for the Toronto-based actor/producer, who was inspired by an extended family member who was infected prior to the overhaul of Canada’s blood system and mandatory screening and treatment of blood donations in 1985.

“It had always really haunted me that there was nothing out there in an artistic model to tell the story,” says Lanteigne, 38, who began researching the subject 10 years ago, initially with the idea of producing a film, which she was unable to get off the ground.

“And so I realized that if I didn’t do something that it was going to be forgotten because it was highly unlikely that people would click onto Health Canada’s website and download the Krever inquiry.”

That inquiry, led by Justice Horace Krever, began in October 1993 and heard two years of testimony about how the federal and provincial governments, the Canadian Red Cross and others had failed to protect the blood supply.

Krever’s November 1997 report found government and the Red Cross had no national blood policy, and that no single authority was accountable for the safety of the blood supply. He also concluded Ottawa had acted too slowly to deal with the threat of blood-borne viruses such as HIV and hepatitis C. Krever also slammed the Red Cross for failing to recognize the threat and not implementing an adequate screening program.

Perhaps most damning was his finding that the agency had chosen to use up supplies of untreated blood products before switching to those heat-treated to kill infectious pathogens.

In fact, 98 vials of untreated blood were sent to Toronto’s

I

Hospital for Sick Children, says Lanteigne.

“It’s hard for people to wrap their heads around so many people making so many bad choices,” she says, stressing the scandal is a part of the country’s history that all Canadians need to know about.

“It’s really dangerous if we forget stories like the tainted blood crisis and the systemic failings of our system and the level of betrayal that was enacted by our government. Things like that can happen again.”

Thousands of Canadians who received tainted blood in the 1970s and ‘80s eventually died from AIDS or complications arising from hepatitis C, including liver failure from cirrhosis or cancer of the liver.

As a result of Krever’s report, responsibility for most of Canada’s blood supply was turned over to Canadian Blood Services; Quebec has its own agency, Hema Quebec. In 2004, Ottawa and the provinces announced the first national standards for the quality and safety of the blood system.

Lanteigne interviewed families of hemophiliacs who had died and survivors across the country, and spent two years writing “Tainted,” which she describes as a love story.

“Tainted is a love story of a family trying to stay intact when the unimaginable happens,” she says. The play follows the family as they contend with illness, death and the fight for compensation and justice.

While those infected by contaminated blood did receive some compensation in a controversial agreement with the federal government, three former Canadian health officials, a U.S. pharmaceutical company and one of its former executives were acquitted in 2007 by an Ontario Superior Court judge on charges of criminal negligence.

What struck Lanteigne most when she spoke to families and survivors was “their incredible ability to forgive.”

“That really sat with me because the reality is they’re all gripped in unyielding grief because they lived with the knowledge that many of those infections could have been prevented.

And that part never leaves any of them.”

Coincidentally, the play comes at a time when the blood supply Colin O’Connor/GromKat Productions/The Canadian Press is facing another threat, she says.

Playwright Kat Lanteigne, author of Tainted, about the A U.S. company wants to open Krever inquiry into the tainted blood scandal. private clinics in Canada that would pay donors for plasma, an ingredient in certain drugs. The federal government is deciding whether to grant licences for three clinics in Toronto and Hamilton.

News of the would-be clinics was like “kicking dirt in the faces” of those affected by the contaminated blood scandal, says Lanteigne, who has been lobbying with a group of hemophiliacs against their approval.

“The reality is that thousands of people across the country are still living with HIV and hepatitis C because of tainted blood.

And Canadians are getting buried all the time,” she says of those who continue to succumb to the infections.

She believes the blood system should be managed in the most risk-averse manner possible to avoid history repeating itself, and she hopes her play helps drive home that message to politicians.

“I hope that once (people) have seen this play that they will connect with their elected officials and demand these paid blood donor clinics do not open in Canada.”

haun LaDue was a fiveyear-old girl when he picked the name “Shaun” for himself. He was 44 before he told anyone.

LaDue, a First Nation man from Ross River, is transgendered.

He was born with a female body, but feels more comfortable living and identifying as a man.

But it took him a long time to come to that realization.

“I didn’t tell anybody because the people in my life at the time weren’t listening to me and didn’t really care about me. It was a secret I kept to myself.”

It was a counsellor in Vancouver who broke the silence.

“One day I talked to a counsellor and said, ‘I’ve had these dreams about being a man all my life.’ “He said, ‘You’re transgender.’

“It was like a light bulb going off. I grabbed a computer and typed in ‘transgender’ and started reading other men’s stories about transitioning, and the knowing that we all seem to have.”

LaDue had never heard the word “transgender” before. He finally had a name for the feelings he had been living with his whole life.

He started taking testosterone a year ago. He injects himself every Sunday morning.

“Your body changes. It masculinizes the body. Your voice deepens. You get muscles.”

It also changed the ways he perceived the world, he said.

Watching TV, he would notice a deeper identification with male characters, seeing the world a little more clearly through a man’s perspective, said LaDue. Everything has changed for LaDue since coming out as a man, he said.

He feels more confident, more comfortable in his own skin.

The people in his life have been incredibly supportive, he said.

“I haven’t lost any friends.

My ex-husband said, ‘It’s about time you came out.’ He’s my best friend. My ex-girlfriend, now she calls me her brother, her big brother.”

He came out to his family

Shaun LaDue is a transgendered man from Ross River. “I’ve had these dreams about being a man all my life,” he said.

and community in Ross River through a letter to his brother.

“The letter explained very specifically what I was going to do, and that my name was now Shaun. Explaining about HRT, hormone replacement therapy, and about the surgeries I was going to be undergoing in the future. I explained that I was a lousy woman but I was a good human being, and I was meant to be a man.”

He told his brother to share the letter with anyone he thought should see it.

“I think he took it around to everybody in the community.”

He was nervous coming home for the first time after that, he said.

“I hitchhiked home. I was walking on crutches back then, because I had a minor nerve conduction problem, I wasn’t walking real stable.

“My aunt’s man picked me up, and he recognized me.

“He said, ‘Oh, you’re Shaun.’

“I went, ‘Yeah.’ “‘Oh, good to see you again.’

“Everybody said they loved

me, and they accepted me for who I am. They were proud that I was willing to come home and show them that this is who I am.”

Growing up wasn’t easy for LaDue. He was taken from his parents as a baby, and adopted into a “very destructive household,” he said.

“I bounced through life for quite a while, just going from one plan to the next. I was in the army for a while, I was in university for a while, just

going back and forth, and not sure what I wanted to do.”

LaDue eventually graduated from the Yukon Native Teacher’s Education Program, he said.

He did teaching stints in Yukon, South Korea, and British Columbia.

He returned to Ross River and taught at that community’s Yukon College campus.

Now he splits his time between Ross River and Vancouver, mostly for health reasons, he said.

He is a writer and an actor.

LaDue is working with a new television comedy, The Switch, about living as a trans person in Canada.

He also has written a chapter for an upcoming book, Manning Up: Transexual Men on Finding Brotherhood, Family & Themselves.

He wants more people to hear his story, especially here in the Yukon, he said.

“More people are coming out of the closet as being transgendered, and I think people need to hear that there are transgendered people in the Yukon, living here. I think the government needs to know it, too, so they can have a transgender health program.”

He doesn’t know any other trans people from the Yukon, he said. But they have always been here.

“I know a story from a long time ago, that there were transgendered people living amongst the Kaska people.

“It was usually a ceremony where, when a family had too many daughters, the girls who were closest to the age of about five were part of a dance that happened where they had two blankets.

“On one blanket they had all men’s tools and on another blanket they had all the women’s tools. And the girls would be danced around these two blankets. The girls would pick up the tools that called to them.

“The girl that picked up men’s tools, from that day on, she would be raised up as a boy, as a man. And she’d even be given a wife. That couple would be given any orphan children to raise up.”

Forty years late, finally, LaDue is coming home.

Let visiting relatives do their laundry if they wish

by Judith Martin

MISS

MANNERS DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I disagree on the subject of what constitutes a house guest overstepping the line when it comes to laundry. His family comes to visit us once a year — usually for one week — and he feels it’s OK for them to have unlimited laundry privileges.

They will want to do a load about every other day, and always right before leaving, which makes me feel taken advantage of. For the time span of their visit, I feel like one load is plenty — two would be the max if there was an unexpected problem.

Please let us know what is appropriate.

GENTLE READER: You really dislike your in-laws, don’t you?

As Miss Manners understands it, they visit once a year for a week, so laundry every second day would be four times a year — at most.

Apparently they do not ask you to do it, but only to use your washing machine.

Small acts of sabotage are unlikely to curb these visits. These are your husband’s relatives, and he disapproves of your ploy. It will only make you look petty and inhospitable, to him as well as to them.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am a senior citizen who is quite often unseated on public transportation by someone younger and fitter than I am. Yesterday, after I had taken the last seat, I noticed that someone even older and less fit than I was being outraced by a man in his early 20s. I stood up and gave the loser of the race my seat.

So far, so good, as far as my behavior was concerned.

Now the evil part: I was really tempted to say to the young man who had won the race, “If you’re disabled, please keep your seat,” or “If you’re disabled, don’t get up. I’ll give her my seat.”

Later, as I sat there watching him in his oblivion, I wanted to whip

out my camera and ask, “Do you because you would be pretending to your impulses to be rude and came mind if I take a picture of you sitting be correcting the very behavior you up with a way of allowing the couple beneath the sign saying, ‘The law to vacate their seats without being are practicing. requires you to make seats available embarrassed. Congratulations.

But you didn’t. You squelched to seniors and persons with disabilities’?”

Once, when I was really tired and Ta’an Kwäch’än council traveling with someone 10 years older than I am, I actually told a invites TKc citizens to attend: young couple, “Thanks for saving Referendum Community these seats for us. You can get up now.” (They did.)

Consultations What can I do to keep myself from behaving in a way that Miss wednesday, october 9th at 6 p.m Manners would not approve — or a at the Mount Mcintyre centre way that will get me shot?

GENTLE READER: If you are wednesday, october 30th at 6 p.m shot, you may take comfort in at the old Fire hall knowing that the shooter was behaving worse than you. If, however, you decided that the behavior of others Please join us for supper and discussions. justifies your retaliating in kind, you would be no better.

Worse, Miss Manners would say,

ADAM

Dear Annie: My mother-in-law and her husband moved in with us 10 years ago. They even built an addition onto our house, from which we will gain financially if we ever sell it. During this time, I’ve enjoyed Mom’s help with our two kids and the freedom it gives my husband and me. We enjoy childfree vacations every year and go out to dinner without the kids four times a week. My mother-in-law takes care of all the childcare in our home. My husband and I rarely do any parenting except to enjoy our time with the kids and bask in all the extra achievements they have gained as a result of having four loving parents.

The problem is that my husband has two siblings, and my mother-in-law has never done anything for them. She has never even babysat her other grandchildren. She hardly knows the youngest in the family, and I am now ashamed that I have monopolized her time and love. I feel terrible when I’m with my sisters-in-law. I have gained so much while they have had to pay for childcare all these years and struggle through the typical childhood problems without assistance. Their children barely know their Grandma.

What can I do about it now? I want to express my feelings to my sisters-in-law, but I am not sure what to say. I feel terrible around them. Please help. — Monica Dear Monica: Chances are, your sisters-in-law have a relationship with Mom that is more complicated than yours.

They may not get along as well. Or they may wish she were closer to their children, but might not be interested in having Mom and her husband live with them.

It’s OK to tell them that you wish Mom spent more time with their kids and ask what you can do about it. But also encourage Mom to see her other grandchildren more often. Invite the families to your home (but do not expect Mom to babysit all those children). You are in a position to facilitate a better relationship. We hope everyone will cooperate.

Solution to Tuesday’s puzzle

No digit can be repeated in a solution, so a 4 can only produce 1 and 3, never 2 and 2. Solution published tomorrow. © 2013 The Mepham Group. Distributed by Tribune Media Services. All rights reserved.

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

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