apstone Mining Corporation’s Minto copper mine could soon be seeing a whole lot more digging. The Yukon Socio-Economic Assessment Board has recommended the government approve three new open pits and two new underground mines at the site. The company has been waiting since January for permits to expand to those new areas, when it halved its production and laid off 44 workers because it was running out of permitted ore to mine. Now that it’s one step closer to getting those permits, company spokeswoman Cindy Burnett said that will hopefully mean bringing back the laid-off workers. “We basically will run out of permitted open-pit ore by August. We need these permits in place to move on to the next deposit,” she said. The layoffs were a way to keep the mine from shutting down entirely, Burnett explained. By moving to half its full production, the company was able to keep the mining operations running through the winter. If it kept going at full capacity, it would have run out of permitted ore much sooner, and would have had to shut down in the middle of the winter. “That would have been really tough, especially with the heavy equipment. You’ve got to keep those big trucks turning over all winter or they freeze up,” she said. The Yukon government and the Selkirk First Nation – on whose territory Minto sits – now have 30 days to review the decision and decide whether to grant the quartz mining

Pelly man charged with Internet luring A 30-year-old Pelly Crossing man has been charged with luring a child over the Internet. Police allege the man was online attempting to get a 13-year-old girl to produce “what would have been considered child pornography,” Cpl. Josh Wiese says. In this case, no images were actually shared.

and water permits needed for the expansion to go ahead. The copper mine sits nearly 30 kilometres from the Alaska Highway, down a dusty gravel road on the west side of the Yukon River near Pelly Crossing. If the company doesn’t get the permits it needs before it runs out of mineable ore in August, the mining operations will shut down completely but the mill will continue to process stockpiled ore, she said. Assuming it does, the company’s first target will be a deposit called Minto North, Burnett said. “As soon as we get to Minto North, we’ll be back with a vengeance,” Burnett said. It’s located on the northern edge of the property, and will be the company’s next open pit operation. There are currently two open pits on the site. When the southern pit is mined out sometime in August, it will be used to store water while the company shifts its sights to the north. When the company cut production in January, it dropped from

10,900 cubic metres a day to 5,000. If the permits get approved, they’ll aim to jump up to 15,000 cubic metres and re-hire all the laid-off staff. The focus will be on open-pit mining, Burnett said, because it’s cheaper to access than the underground deposits, and current copper prices aren’t high enough to justify running the mine’s mill with underground ore. Right now copper prices are hovering around $3.07 per pound. Minto didn’t turn a profit at all in 2013, but Burnett said that the deposit under Minto North should help them get back into the black, especially if the prices stay where they are. “It’s 18 months worth of 2.25 per cent copper at around $3 per pound,” she said. That, plus the stockpile the company currently has, is enough to keep the mill running for the foreseeable future. Once Minto North is mined out, the company will move on to looking at its underground workings again, Burnett said.

Wiese said the young girl in this case was an “intelligent young lady.” It is alleged that the communication took place in January. The RCMP became aware of the situation in March when the girl’s mother approached officers. On April 16, Gary William Matheson was arrested and charged with one count of luring a child. The charge alleges that someone used telecommunications

to connect with a child for the purpose of committing another offence like child pornography. Police say the investigation is still ongoing to determine if any other children were approached in the same way. Wiese encourages parents to be aware of who their children are friends with online and have an open conversation if they find anything suspicious. (Ashley Joannou)

News Reporter

who did not try the original case, disagreed. He said the officers were taking the jury through the narrative of what happened during the investigation. He said their testimony did not cross the line. The testimony of a third officer was also criticized. At the original trial a sergeant told the jury about some of the original theories in the case. He said officers considered early on whether the scene by the river had been staged. He also said the initial theory was that Billy had died of blunt force trauma. It was only later that officers learned she drowned. In order for that evidence to be allowed in court, the officer would have had to be qualified as an expert witness, Cunningham said. He was not. Again, Parkkari asserted that the officer was on the stand to explain the narrative of the investigation. Murphy’s lawyers also raised the rare and serious accusation that their client had ineffective counsel during her first case. During the trial, Murphy’s

alibi – she claimed she was with a local drug dealer who could not testify because he committed suicide – was described to the jury as a last-minute addition to her case. Murphy now says she didn’t realize that her right to remain silent includes an exception where she can talk about an alibi. Dineen acknowledged that there is a high threshold if someone is going to claim they had ineffective counsel. He argued that Murphy’s original lawyers, David Christie and Gordon Coffin, should have explained the exception to Murphy or at least explained to the jury why her alibi explanation came in late. Parkkari disagreed. He told the panel of three Appeal Court judges that Murphy was involved in preparing her defence but chose not to come out with an alibi until very late. A defence lawyer is not responsible for canvassing every possible defence strategy without a reason, he said. Murphy’s lawyers also argued that the prosecutor at the time, Noel Sinclair, crossed the line

in his cross-examination of the accused. While it is clear that drug use was going to have to be part of the case, that doesn’t make a cross-examination “open season on the accused,” Dineen said. He argued that Sinclair tried to paint his client as a drug-using criminal with a disposition for violence. The cross-examination focused almost completely on Murphy’s character, he said, including on her ability to be a parent. It did not focus on the crime, he said. Parkkari disagreed with the characterization of the crossexamination. This was “not a long-term abusive cross,” he said. Parkkari pointed out that it was Murphy who brought up being a good parent in her testimony. The cross examination should be able to examine areas brought up by Murphy, he said. “The playing field should be level.” The Appeal Court judges have reserved their decision in the case.

Yukon foreign worker program unaffected by federal ban Jesse Winter News Reporter

ecent changes to Canada’s temporary foreign worker program won’t impact Yukon businesses using similar programs offered by the Yukon government. Last week, federal employment minister Jason Kenney announced an immediate ban on restaurants and the food services sector using the controversial program, in response to revelations that some fast food restaurants are abusing the program. But that won’t affect Yukon businesses who are using the territory’s own temporary foreign worker system, according to Shawn Kitchen, the assistant deputy minister of advanced education, which oversees the program. “If there was an employer that was using the federal stream, it would affect them. On the Yukon side, our program is substantially different,” Kitchen said. The Yukon’s own program is still in its infancy, having been launched as a pilot project in August of last year. It targets only the oil, gas and mining sectors, as well as tourism, Kitchen said. “As we were developing it, we saw nationally more and more of the issues that Canada saw feder-

ally. As we learned from that, we started making some changes to the development of our program to address the challenges we were seeing federally,” Kitchen said. One of the key differences between the two programs is that Yukon temporary workers are only eligible to work in the territory for 12 months; the federal program approves applicants for four years. “One of the other challenges we’ve seen elsewhere is layoffs of Canadians. We’re saying if there are layoffs, for the following year you cannot offer temporary foreign workers a position until you’ve offered those laid-off workers the chance to come back,” Kitchen said. Right now there hasn’t been much uptake of the program, in part because it’s still very new and also because of the slowdown in the mining sector, Kitchen said. Since the program was launched in August, Kitchen said there have been about 25 applications for temporary foreign workers, and fewer than 10 have been approved. All the applications have come from the tourism sector. However, many Yukon businesses take advantage of another program to bring in foreign workers. The Yukon nominee

program allows employers to bring in foreign workers and nominate them for permanent residency. That program also won’t be affected by the new federal changes. Northern Vision Development uses the program at many of its hotel businesses. “For us, the (temporary foreign worker program) is more trouble than it’s worth,” said Philip Fitzgerald, the company’s chief financial officer. “We use the nominee program. We have for many years. It’s a much better fit for us,” Fitzgerald said. For many Yukon businesses, the prospect of bringing in a foreign worker makes more sense if that person has the chance to stay longer and eventually become a permanent resident. Earlier this month the C.D. Howe Institute released a report that said the influx of temporary foreign workers in the country over the last decade – from around 100,000 to nearly 340,000 – is partially responsible for the rising unemployment rates in B.C. and Alberta. Kenney’s office is now promising a review of the program and suggesting that tougher restrictions will be put in place.

Act and the Placer Mining Act. Some changes to those two pieces of law have already been put in place. The government now has the authority to designate areas of the Yukon where a notification for the low level, Class 1, work is required. Currently, only the Ross River area and parts of the Peel watershed have been given that designation. After the notice is given, the new regulations say the government has 25 days to consult with the First Nation. Pasloski said the rest of the court-ordered work should be done by the time this extension expires. “This withdrawal shows that we are meeting our obligations under the Yukon Court of Appeal decision from December 2012, and are committed to engaging in meaningful consultation with the Ross River Dena Council.” (Ashley Joannou)

tourism in the territory and giving a hard look at the prospect of paving the airport’s runway. In an interview on Monday, Nixon said the motion was meant as a message to Yukoners and the tourism industry that the government takes their requests seriously. Air North and Holland America have both been working closely with the government, Nixon said, looking for ways to meet the increasing tourism demand in the Klondike region. Last year Holland America wanted to give its tour customers an easier way to get from the Klondike to Denali National Park in Alaska, so it partnered with Air North to arrange flights from Dawson City to Fairbanks. At first U.S. Customs and Border Protection refused to grant Air North the landing rights needed, but in November last year it reversed its decision, allowing the one-hour flights to go ahead.

awson City residents have appealed the town’s decision to grant a permit to move a section of the Dome Road. Two dozen residents submitted letters appealing the decision to the town’s mayor and council, and there was a public hearing on Wednesday evening. The Yukon government wants to move a section of the road so a miner can access gold he has claim to underneath. Once the area is mined out, the government will be able to go ahead with a residential lot development it has been planning in the area for more than five years. The government says the project will also improve road safety. But some local residents say the government shouldn’t be subsid-

izing mining in the area, and that more planning and discussion is needed. “In its proposal, and its actions to date, YTG is effectively telling council and residents that the right to mine is more important than the right of to govern,” said resident Jim Taggart in a news release. “That is unacceptable and can’t be allowed to continue. These circumstances are the perfect storm around which to finally resolve the issues of municipal authority and mining within municipalities. Council must take a stand and fight for its and residents’ rights.” The claims in question are owned by Darrell Carey. He bought the Slinky claims in 1998, after Dawson’s municipal boundary was extended to include the Dome area. Since then, his efforts to pull placer gold from the ground have

ing. There’s no budget about what we’re asking for yet. That will come out in the later portion when and if this application gets announced,” he said. Even without a dollar figure attached, that’s still good news to Neil Hartling, the TIA chair. “TIA is very appreciative of the minister’s support for the expanded marketing campaign and positive moves to secure the $2.5 million needed to increase the reach of Yukon’s marketing,” Hartling said in an email. “We have unused capacity that we know the market wants, we just need the increased market penetration to reach the consumers. It will be a good news story for everyone and Minister Nixon is instrumental in seeing it through. The resulting high tide will float all boats in the economy at a time when it is desperately needed,” Hartling said. Contact Jesse Winter at jessew@yukon-news.com

put him in conflict with the town of Dawson and Dome Road residents. The claims are adjacent to, and in some cases overlap, properties in a 74-lot subdivision. Local residents have complained that the mine operations are disruptive and pose a threat to their safety and property values. In 2009 the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board recommended that Carey’s placer mining licence not be renewed because of those potential adverse effects. But Energy, Mines and Resources went against that recommendation and renewed the mining permits anyhow. In 2012 Yukon Supreme Court found that Carey owed the city more than $28,000 for clearing trees and excavating gravel too close to the road, in breach of his mining permit.

The town had argued that the work was not only in breach of the licence, but made the road unsafe for motorists. Carey’s excavations “pose significant hazards to, and unreasonably interfere with, the integrity of the Dome Road,” said the statement of claim. According to an information package prepared by City of Dawson staff, the plan to reroute the Dome Road around the claims is the result of many months of consultation between the town, the territory and the miner. City administration believes that mining activity in the area will be prolonged if the reroute is not permitted, according to the document. City council will make a decision about the appeal in the coming weeks. Contact Jacqueline Ronson at jronson@yukon-news.com

The territory currently has $2.86 million set aside in this year’s capital budget for community airports, up from $2.37 million last year. The government is also looking at finding funding to get Yukon tourism advertising on TV. In January, the Tourism Industry Association of Yukon asked the government for $5 million over two years to fund a TV advertising blitz to promote the territory. Until now the government hadn’t given any official response to the request. On Monday, Nixon said it’s going to lean on the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency, or CanNor, to find the funding. “We’re putting forward a new application to CanNor for an enhanced two-year Canada – U.S. marketing campaign that would include a component of TV market-

That’s the plane coming from Fairbanks. Holland America tours coming up from Whitehorse and Dawson, they can only take 60 because the plane can only take off with 60 passengers.” That’s because aircraft need more runway to take off than they do to land. “If Holland America believed that they could sell all the seats on the plane, and right now they don’t know because this is something new they are doing, then potentially we could fly 120 people from Fairbanks and 120 out from Dawson back to Fairbanks,” Nixon said. “That’s an additional 60 people coming up the Klondike Highway

think of the LGBTQ group being singled out for special consideration? Did they bother to ask parents – all of them, not just the politically correct “firestorm” people who, even given that their concerns regarding specific students and specific incidents may have been legitimate, seem to have forgotten about everyone else and given little if any thought for a policy that makes sense for all. Oh yes, and they also seem to have forgotten that Catholics and Catholic schools are worthy of

respect too. Let’s face it. We all have unique personalities, cultures, practices, habits, challenges, experiences, hurts, and we all want to be respected, accepted, to be safe and to belong. This is true in school and in adult life. But we cannot craft a specific policy for any one individual or group without giving the same consideration to every other individual or group. What we can do is establish a general policy that covers all the concerns regarding the way we

treat each other. That is what the old Safe and Caring Schools Policy did. It was and remains sufficient and effective. Teachers and students only need apply it. It is not too late, Taylor. Order the Department of Education to scrap its same-sex policy, not only for Catholic schools but for all schools, and tell them to simply apply the Safe and Caring Schools Policy. It is the right thing to do, it is the fair thing to do, and it is the respectful thing to do.

simple concept: leadership. One of the few places in Canada and North America where one can find genuine leadership is right here in Whitehorse. Successive councils, with administrative support, have had the spine to make some very difficult decisions. I find our roads in Cowley Creek to be perfectly adequate, especially considering the very low volume of traffic on them. To rebuild and repave is impractical, and will only benefit very few. On the other hand, the city has to clean up after all its citizens. Our economy is based on externalizing costs. One of those is the cost of dealing with the vast amounts of garbage we create. Like it or not, that garbage has to land somewhere, and the city has to deal with it, and as taxpayers, we have to pay for it now, and like

Faro, in perpetuity. Our city leadership could easily spend money on populist road-building projects for a privileged few (aren’t we all?), but they have chosen to make sure that our children, and their children and so on, will not be burdened with the cost of cleaning up after our generation of wastrels has passed on. That is leadership with a longterm view, way past the next election

cycle, with an eye on future generations. That means that we have to foot the bill now. Too bad it’s unpopular with some. My vote is for our future generations, and the City of Whitehorse people who are paving the way for them.

government. Further, the proposed regulator has no teeth. The legislation requires people to self-register if they spend more than a certain amount of hours lobbying. Unless the regulator spent every minute of every day with all government officials, there is almost zero chance that the lobbyist czar could ever actually catch an in-house consultant who failed to register. The other aspect of lobbyist legislation is the introduction of a “cooling off period” for ministers and executive council employees leaving government. Again, this is a mechanism built for larger governments with large executive staffs who are offered lucrative contracts to join professional lobbying firms after their stint in government. The purpose is to prevent people from leaving positions of influence and immediately walk into lobbying firms. Of course in Yukon there are no lobbying firms and there is no revolving door of ministers or MLAs leaving government for lobbying firms. In Yukon, elected officials leave government and go back to their professions – they run grocery stores and vet clinics. There simply isn’t a problem with that type of behaviour, as there

are no lobbying organizations to which these elected officials go in their post-government life. But let’s say I’m completely wrong about all of the above. Let’s say there is a shadowy cabal of Imperial Oil lobbyists camped out in the premier’s office, whispering sweet nothings in his ear seven days a week. As a society we are only concerned about that scenario if other special interest groups are denied access. If everybody has a chance to say their piece, there is no issue. It is not the lobbyists who make the decisions, it is on the elected officials to then distill the information and make a decision. This does not mean that the government must meet with all groups upon demand, it just means that the elected officials shouldn’t open the doors only to paid interests. Given the size of our territory, and the fact that each member of the legislature represents on average around 1,600 people, I find it hard to believe that any local organization can’t get face-time with an MLA, appropriate minister or even the premier to discuss issues. We are a small jurisdiction; timely access is not an issue. The Yukon simply isn’t big

enough to warrant the creation of an entire department to govern lobbying. There are no lobbying firms for ex-ministers and employees to go, nor are any of same flocking to mining companies or unions. The Opposition simply does not like the government’s decisions and is attempting to argue that those decisions are the result of lobbying activity. I assure you, there is no smoky back room in which decisions are made. There are only hardworking elected members with open doors trying to synthesize information in order to make what they see is the best decision for the Yukon. We, as an electorate, then hold our elected officials to account for those decisions at the ballot box. At the end of the day all the Paid Lobbyist Act does is provide another hurdle for local organizations to jump over when attempting to conduct legitimate business. I encourage the government to give short shrift to the proposed legislation, as every dollar we spend on creating and maintaining regulatory bodies for non-existent problems is a dollar taken from programs and departments concerned with real problems faced by Yukoners.

The press, civil that they act in a non-partisan servants, scholars, experts

and, not surprisingly, various agents of Parliament who stubbornly maintained professional standards in spite of being harassed, were and continue to be slandered this way. If Dean Del Mastro is charged with breaking several laws around campaign expenses, it could only be because the chief electoral officer, Marc Mayrand, is “wearing a team jersey.” It couldn’t possibly be because Del Mastro committed crimes. From the Conservative perspective there is an army of malcontents in various government departments who have nothing better to do than persecute innocent Conservatives. What a story! “Partisan” is also a word attributed to anyone who makes impartial but inconvenient observations, who naively provides evidence-based advice and who speaks “off message.” It especially describes someone who has held Conservatives accountable for legitimately identified errors, as has the former parliamentary budget officer, Kevin Page. This raises another question.

Who is allowed to behave in a partisan manner? Jenni Byrne is the co-deputy chief of staff for the Prime Minister’s Office. Her salary is paid for by the public. She e-mails partisan hate ad/fundraising letters on behalf of the Conservative Party to supporters. I happen to know this because she used to send poison pen letters to me. The e-mails were sent during business hours. Under the Westminister parliamentary system, government watchdogs stand alone in order to prevent political interference. Bill C-520 will remove the independence of these public agents. The Conservative argument is that the agents should not be independent. It presumes that members of Parliament and the Senate are above bias and should be the ones watching the shop. According to this argument, the fox should guard the henhouse because the chickens are untrustworthy. The Prime Minister’s Office has said that Bill C-520 reflects the Conservatives’ “principles of transparency and accountability.” This is from a govern-

ment that was charged with contempt of Parliament over its refusal to disclose information on the Afghan detainees and the cost of its crime policy! Just how stupid do Conservatives think Canadians are? Bill C-520 is a partner document of the Unfair Elections Act. Both bills seek to muzzle public servants, dismantle democratic safeguards and give free rein to the unscrupulous. Neither was written with the public good in mind. That is why I like your private member’s bill on FASD. It puts your expertise to good use on behalf of the public. But, expertise has been trumped by what is called “common sense” in Conservative vernacular. Your bill is unlikely to pass. Hopefully, once the Harper regime has died, your bill will be revisited. The idea has real merit. A government that has to cheat, lie and stack the deck in order to maintain power is, by these very actions, unworthy. Linda Leon is a Whitehorse freelance writer.

Yukon News wins seven Ma Murrays

he Yukon News dominated the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Association’s 2014 Ma Murray Newspaper Awards on Saturday, taking home seven top prizes. In what could well be a record, reporter Jesse Winter took home four first-place awards for his excellent writing and photography. Winter won the award for best feature series for his reporting on the ongoing dispute over Vanier Catholic Secondary School’s same-sex policy. “It is a seamlessly presented story that’s ambitious and unflinching,” the judge wrote. “The series clearly illustrates the importance of media in forwarding community discussion and action on important and contentious public policy issues. A pleasure to read.” Winter also won the arts writing award for “A brief history of typeface,” his story on Ben Barrett-Forrest’s animated video on the history of typography. “In the hands of a lesser writer this could have

been just a ‘stunt piece,’” the judge wrote. “What we get is a creative and well-crafted story with just the right amount of whimsy.” For photography, Winter won the photo essay award for “Down and out in Robert Service Campground,” a project in which he spent three weeks camping out with social assistance clients to document their struggles. “This work is worthy of any paper in Canada,” the judge wrote. And Winter won best black-and-white feature photo award in our circulation class for his shot of a child playing on the beams of the S.S. Tutshi memorial in Carcross. Al Pope won the award for best columnist, for his writing on subjects as diverse as the discrimination faced by gay people, in which he “deftly weaves history with current events to put the issue into perspective,” to a humorous take on the trouble of keeping chickens as pets.

Six Yukon schools to see council elections Monday

BRIEFS

Six Yukon schools will see school council elections next week. On Monday, May 5, parents and local residents cast ballots for new councils in Faro, Carmacks, Pelly Crossing, Haines Junction, Porter Creek Secondary and Vanier Catholic Secondary. At Vanier, there are 13 candidates running for five positions, including Cam Kos, the current council chair at Holy Family Elementary School. Current Vanier chair Paul Flaherty is not running for reelection. Cannaan Khoza, the Knights of Columbus grand knight for the Yukon, is running, as is current Vanier councillor Dianne Tait.

Fellow incumbents John Berg and James Mooney are running for re-election as well. Also on the list is Leah White, the mother of former Vanier student Shara Layne, who spoke out last year about homophobic bullying at the school she said went ignored by the school’s administration. White herself became an outspoken critic of the school’s increasing Catholic conservatism and took exception with a same-sex policy put in place by Whitehorse Bishop Gary Gordon in late 2012. It will fall to Education Minister Elaine Taylor to appoint councillors to 38 unfilled positions at 18 other schools in the territory,

Elections bill illustrates Harper’s vindictiveness, pragmatism, Flanagan says Joan Bryden Canadian Press

OTTAWA he federal government’s controversial proposed overhaul of election laws illustrates the ruthless, vindictive and hyper-partisan side of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s character, a former chief of staff says. But Tom Flanagan says the fact the Conservative government has suddenly backed down on some of the most objectionable aspects of the bill shows another side of the prime minister – his capacity to be pragmatic and realistic. “The whole episode illustrates the complexity of the man,” Flanagan said in an interview. As originally proposed, Bill C-23 would muzzle the chief electoral officer, hive the investigator of election law breaches off Elections Canada, boost campaign spending and donation limits, create a loophole that would allow rich, established parties to spend untold millions more during election campaigns and potentially disenfranchise tens of thousands of Canadians by ending the practice of vouching for voters without proper ID. Flanagan noted that Harper has had “this antipathy to Elections Canada” for decades, dating back to his

time as head of the National Citizens Coalition, when he challenged limits on third party campaign spending all the way to the Supreme Court. That hostility was exacerbated by the watchdog agency’s successful prosecution of the Conservative party for orchestrating a scheme to spend more than $1 million over its spending limit during the 2006 campaign. “So, the initial version of the bill really did seem to be aimed at Elections Canada, taking away powers, clipping what it can do and, along the way, putting in some features that would appear to help the Conservatives at the expense of other parties,” Flanagan said. “So you might say that bill, the original bill, may have expressed the vindictive side of the prime minister, you know, pay-back time.” Last Friday’s partial climb-down, however, showed Harper’s pragmatic side, he added. Pierre Poilievre, the minister responsible for democratic reform, announced that he’s willing to drop the campaign spending loophole, unmuzzle the chief electoral officer and institute an alternative to vouching, among other things. While polls suggest most Canadians have not been paying attention to the controversy, Flanagan, who has been cut out of Harper’s inner circle for some years, speculated that

meaningless trivia, at other times falling into week-long depressions in which he is incapable of making decisions.” The important point, Flanagan said in the interview, is that despite his complicated personality, Harper has managed to succeed politically. However, he said the cost of that success has been an ever-shrinking inner circle around the prime minister as insiders quit or get thrown under the bus. Flanagan has the distinction of having both quit and been thrown under the bus. His close personal relationship with Harper ended shortly after he returned to academe and wrote a book about the prime minister’s rise to power. Last year, Harper’s office joined The Canadian Press/Nathan Denette Prime Minister Stephen Harper participates in a question and the public “mobbing” of Flanagan answer session with the Greater Kitchener Waterloo and the after he challenged conservative orthodoxy that jail time might not be Cambridge Chambers of Commerce in Kitchener, Ont., on the best way to punish the viewers Friday, April 25. of child pornography for their “taste in pictures” – remarks that were the prime minister may have feared straightforward.

Suds lovers plan Yukon Beer Festival Max Leighton Special for the News

he inaugural Yukon Beer Festival – it may be the two pints, but that sounds like something that should have happened a long time ago. Bree Lucas is the festival’s producer and Dion Zdunic is executive producer. They’re explaining how it all got started, from a table at the back of the Town and Mountain Hotel lounge. We’re 10 feet from the bar where the plan was hatched, over pints and a hand of Gin rummy. Within weeks, the Yukon Beer Festival Society had been culled from the staff and regular patrons of the T&M, and now just a few months later – and unlike most other bar-side schemes – festival planning is actually underway. “It was probably only about a week or so later that we got calls from brewers in Nova Scotia and Oregon,” says Zdunic. “I said, ‘I guess we should get T-shirts printed then.’” The festival is taking place from October 17 to 19 at the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre. It will feature about 150 different varieties of beer. New Brunswick’s Pumphouse and Halifax’s Propeller and Garrison Breweries have taken an early interest, but the society is courting entrants from B.C. and Alberta and some American breweries as well. “People are very interested in coming here,” says Lucas.

Alistair Maitland/Yukon New

Dion Zdunic is the Executive Producer of the Yukon Beer Festival. The Yukon Beer Festival is taking place at the Kwanlin Dun Centre on October 17-19, 2014.

“Because no one knows anything about the Yukon, right? So why not go somewhere beautiful and check it out for a few days?” They plan to set their event apart from the popular Haines and Skagway beer festivals by bringing in a wider range of products. “It’s about sampling and discovery,” says Zdunic. “More than straight consumption.” Lucas says she’s confident the festival will draw a crowd. It gives Outsiders a chance

“to earn the flannel shirt, the beard and the Old Spice,” she says. “And it offers something for locals to do. Not too many large-scale events happen in October, so we wanted to offer that.” Getting the beer up here is a more of a challenge. “It’s never been done before in this

kind of vast quantity,” says Lucas. Right now the plan is to gather the beer somewhere down south, get it to Skagway via Vancouver and then

truck the suds over the pass to Whitehorse. So far, most of the marketing effort has been word of mouth, but the society is looking for sponsors and they’re hoping to team up with venues around town as well. “We’re working on getting the beer we bring up in restaurants and bars to pair with food,” says Lucas. “The idea is people can go to the (Dirty Northern) Bastard and have some Tater Tots and listen to some music ... and try the beer they’ve had at the festival.” Tickets are on sale for $15 until May 15th, and $25 afterward. They’re available at the Yukon Arts Centre, Arts Underground and Yukontickets.com. Some of the proceeds go to the Yukoners’ Cancer Care Fund – if you still need an excuse to book yours. Zdunic says he’s hoping to make the Yukon Beer Festival an annual event. “To be honest, I’m already planning ahead to year three,” he says. That is something to which we can all drink to. Max Leighton is a freelance writer and broadcaster from Whitehorse. He’s a “coffee until it’s time to drink beer, beer until it’s time to drink coffee” kind of guy.

Glacier Bears maul record book at swim championship Tom Patrick News Reporter

he record book took another beating at the Yukon Invitational Swim Championships over the weekend. The Whitehorse Glacier Bears set four meet records at the championship that included over 100 swimmers, including eight from Alaska’s Haines Dolphins Swim Team, Friday and Saturday at the Canada Games Centre. The invitational is the territory’s swim championships, but some of the swimmers find it hard to get into competition mode. Unlike Outside meets, the whole team is there and there’s more of a fun atmosphere, said a pair of swimmers. “It’s harder to beat your times up here,” said Glacier Bear Cassis Lindsay, the aggregate winner in the 13-and-over girls division. “We all try to get into competitive mode, but it’s hard sometimes … It’s a really fun meet because it’s with your friends at home.” “These kind of meet are always fun because they’re not too competitive, but you can still go as hard as you can and go fast,” said teammate Luke Bakica, who set a meet record. Bakica set a meet record in the 50-metre breaststroke for boys 13-and-over, completing the race in 38.92 seconds. “It’s my best stroke by far,” said Bakica. “All the breaststroke races are my favourites.” Brother Thomas Bakica completed the 200-metre butterfly in 3:31.99 for a record in boys 11-12. Rennes Lindsay posted a time of 5:52.26 for a meet record in the 400-metre individual medley for girls 11-12. Aidan Harvey altered the record book in the 200-metre backstroke for boys 11-12, finishing the race in 2:53.21. All four swimmers set meet records at last year’s Yukon championship as well. “We did AA and AAAs and everyone had smiles on their faces,” said Glacier Bears head coach Malwina Bukszowana. “I was very happy with the kids, especially the older kids. They had very good performances, so we’re looking forward if they go to compete Outside. They look good here, but we have to see them with the faster swimmers. They worked hard on the times and they are for sure much better than they were.” The Glacier Bears will be taking a large team to the Kamloops Tom Patrick/Yukon News Classic in B.C. at the end of May.

Recollections of trade shows gone by Meagan Deuling Special for the News

ob Downey remembers when the Yukon Trade Show was like a fair. There would be popcorn, helium balloons and all kinds of booths selling food. The event, which was started by the Lake Laberge Lions Club with Downey’s help in 1986, also featured an after-hours mixer for the people manning the booths. “We supplied a bit of food, they provided the booze,” he says. This all happened in the old curling rink where the convention centre is now, at the Coast High Country Inn. During a period of heady economic growth, the trade show grew too. “It was so big we needed two arenas,” Downey recalls. Times have changed. The trade show, now held at the Canada Games Centre, no longer features a rowdy after-party. Popcorn isn’t allowed because it’s too messy. And helium balloons are banned because they set off automatic sprinklers and get caught in ceiling fans. But the trade show remains an important networking event of the territory’s businesspeople, providing an opportunity to shake hands and rub shoulders with between 10,000 to 12,000 attendees each year. Downey

Bob Downey and Deb Enoch of the Lake Laberge Lions Club.

still sees the event as one of the territory’s most important community events, and an important way to keep up with what’s happening. “You’re going to see stuff you don’t know exists,” he says. “New, exciting stuff.” It’s also the biggest annual fundraiser for the Lions Club. After accounting for expenses,

the 2013 trade show raised $30,000 for the club. That’s money that the club is then able to donate to worthy causes. Downey remembers once donating around $13,000 to an animal shelter to build a fence and do yard work. Another time, when there was a fire at the Watson Lake cafeteria, the club gave them money to help rebuild.

Back when the trade show was at its busiest, the Lions Club owned three vans. They lent the vans to non-profit groups who needed to travel. Swim and skate teams would use the vans to get to tournaments – all they had to buy was gas. Now, the club has one van. They rent it to the Copper Ridge Place for $1 a year. Downey says

one thing that hasn’t changed is the help the club gives to senior citizens. “We still make sure the folks who are alone at Christmas get a little something.” At the trade show’s biggest, the event occupied both the Takhini Arena and Mt. McIntryre to accommodate all the interest. In those days, the Lions Club would rake in from the event $45,000 to $50,000, after expenses, says Downey. Back then, the casual atmosphere of the after-hours mixer allowed business owners to get to know each other. They would also talk to the Lions Club volunteers and tell them what they liked and disliked about the trade show. It allowed business people to take ownership of the show, and it helped the Lions Club improve. These days, Deb Enoch, who took over for Downey in 2008, collects feedback with surveys. But she finds vendors often give cursory responses, so it’s often hard to know how to make small, year-to-year improvements. But none of this has prevented booths from being almost sold out earlier this month. Each year booths are sold to businesses big and small, as well as agencies from all levels of government. She says the show still serves the same purpose it always has – exposure.

The many benefits of buying locally

uying locally is a great way for consumers to find the products and services they’re looking for and help their local economy along the way. The small businesses in your community may be owned by your next door neighbour, who relies on his or her fellow townspeople to keep the business going strong. Buying locally is not only beneficial for local business owners, but buying locally benefits consumers and members of the community in a number of ways. • Buying locally creates jobs. The number of unemployed men and women has gradually declined in recent years, but those figures are still high in many communities. Buying locally creates jobs in your community, potentially creating a job for you or a friend or family member. • Buying locally creates a more closely knit community. Juggling a career and a family can make it hard for men and women to get to know their neighbours and other members of their community. It is an opportunity to strengthen that bond with your neighbours, creating a close knit community in which residents may feel safer and more comfortable. • Buying locally is more convenient. Convenience is paramount to many consumers. Paying costly online shipping fees is

not nearly as quick or convenient as shopping within your community, where you can purchase and take home items on the same day without paying for shipping. • Buying locally benefits your local economy. In 2004, the consultancy Civic Economics was commissioned by Chicago’s Andersonville Chamber of Com-

merce to examine the economic impact of 10 local businesses. The study found that of every $100 spent at local businesses, $68 remained in the local economy. That’s a significant boost to your local economy, and all it requires is shopping at local retailers. • Buying locally can increase your property value. Home-

owners might be able to increase the value of their homes by buying locally. A joint study from Independent We Stand and Civic Economics found that cities with a strong centralized small business district had a 54 per cent greater increase in property values than communities that did not have such a district.

thriving local community, including a thriving shopping district, is no doubt attractive to prospective home buyers. The reasons for shopping locally are many. In addition to helping local business owners, consumers who shop locally are also helping themselves. (Metro Creative Connection)

Seneca College in Toronto. She feels having a mentor compensates for the lack of a boss or co-workers to discuss ideas or share problems. “An entrepreneur’s mind works different from others. You can bounce things off your spouse or your friend or your partner or your cousin but, if they’re not an entrepreneur, you don’t get it. I don’t know how I would have done it without him. I still use him to this day.” In the case of Michelle Furbacher, who is developing a cat cafe in Vancouver, support came from Embers Ventures, a small business development program. “The class has been so helpful in terms of networking and meeting other like-minded entrepreneurs,” she said. “We’ve become sort of a team of mentors, helping each other out and throwing ideas back and forth. The course is really helping me get a solid grasp on all the aspects that go into building a business.”

Her Catfe, set to open in September, will allow cat lovers to pay an hourly rate to surf the web, read, or attend movie nights and workshops while socializing with some furry friends. The Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association will provide cats for the venture, all of whom will be adoptable. Furbacher, 37, says she decided go with what may have initially seemed like an off-the-wall idea because she saw a need for what she describes as part “glorified cat shelter” and a way for cat lovers to get their “kitty fix.” While the cafes are wildly popular in Japan, there are none in Canada. A crowdfunding campaign launched to help cover start-up costs has already raised more than $2,500 towards its $50,000 goal since it began last week. According to Jeremy O’Krafka, a professor with the Entrepreneurship and Small Business program at Seneca College, and the founder of MENTORnetwork.CA, entrepreneurs like Palermo and Furbacher are part of a growing trend in the economy. There are about 2.5 million entrepreneurs in Canada who, as small business owners, contribute more than 30 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product. “Low start-up costs, social media and options like crowd-

funding campaigns also mean it’s never been easier to start a business,“ he said. The bigger challenge is finding something that’s viable, validating it by talking to potential customers, and then being willing to take the risk - because even though it’s never been easier, there’s still a very high failure rate for entrepreneurs. O’Krafka started MENTORnetwork.CA after having a hard time finding a mentor himself several years ago. At the time, he was browsing the dating site eHarmony, and realized that it was a much more effective model of connecting with people, so he decided to create what he describes as “the eHarmony of mentoring websites.” “Once you’re actually up and running a business, to have somebody to give you that 10,000-foot view of what you’re going through can make all the difference in the world,” O’Krafka said. For him, a lot of the value around working with mentors is about being held accountable. “One of the reasons why some of us get into entrepreneurship is because we don’t like to be told what to do, but one of the downsides of that is that it also gives you an easy out not to stick to your plan,” he said.

“By sharing your plan with a mentor who you work with over a long period of time, meeting with them on a monthly basis gives you that check-in point to have them hold you accountable for what you said you were going to do.” Dave Wilkin, 26, is a self-described “serial entrepreneur” and founder of Ten Thousand Coffees, a website that looks to bridge the gap between business leaders and the younger generation, setting them up on coffee dates so that they can share ideas and expand

their networks. He says part of the challenge is finding the right mentor, and connecting mentors with young people who can provide them with useful insight into their brand or could be an interesting potential hire. Wilkin says his own career began with a conversation over a coffee, after he invited someone he met at a conference out for a chat. That person told him to create a business name, get business cards, and start talking to people.

If he wanted to be an entrepreneur, she said, he should go start a company. Wilkin turned down a job offer and did just that. Ten Thousand Coffees, a later venture, was launched in January with 300 experts, and it now has more than 700 companies in more than 30 industries as members. “It’s no question millennials are more entrepreneurial than anybody else, but what they need is the mentor. But mentorship is an outcome, it’s not a first step.”

Expert recommends boosting apprenticeships Lee-Anne Goodman

Labour in Berlin. Almost half of Canada’s 426,000 registered apprentices currently work as mechanics, carpenters, electricians and plumbers. Lerman’s report points out that Canada’s apprenticeship system is aimed primarily at adults aged 25 and older, and does little to ease the transition for young Canadians from the classroom to the labour market. That’s in stark contrast to apprenticeship systems in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. “A more extensive system of apprenticeship in Canada would require close collaboration between high schools and employers,” Lerman writes. “Importantly, it would require extensive counselling on apprenticeship and other careeroriented options by Grade 10.” Lerman’s report concludes that expanding apprenticeships would hike income levels for workers in middle-skill occupations while relieving some of the economic pressure on governments to increase spending on colleges and universities. He said “significant payoffs” from implementing these recommendations would include everything from a lower youth unemployment rate to a reduced burden on Canadian taxpayers as employers shoulder a bigger share of the costs of education and training.

Canadian Press

Come See Us at the A Trade Show!

respected American labour specialist says governments, educators and employers should work together to boost the number of apprenticeships for young Canadians in a collaborative approach that would yield “significant payoffs.” Robert Lerman’s report, commissioned by the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, says a comprehensive expansion of apprenticeships would provide young people with greater opportunities for more promising careers and potentially slash the rate of youth unemployment. The study also asserts that apprenticeships aren’t just a route to jobs in the skilled trades, but could represent an option for young Canadians in a variety of fields and should become a common recruitment strategy for a wide range of industries and sectors. Those sectors include banking, sales and information technology. “Continuing the emphasis on ‘trades’ is counterproductive since it suggests that apprenticeships are limited to a relatively narrow range of occupations,” says Lerman, a professor of economics at American University in Washington, D.C., and a research fellow at the Institute for the Study of

She scratched from the floor competition and placed 12th on bars and 13th on vault and beam at westerns. “She’s had very limited training for the last three weeks,” said O’Donovan. “She went to westerns with the go-ahead to start using her heels, but with no practices underneath her. So she had a rough meet. Mentally she was unprepared and physically she couldn’t handle it.” Fayne O’Donovan, Yukon’s reigning Level 4 champion, was going to compete in Level 5 but withdrew due to an ongoing struggle with an ankle injury.

Kakuro

By The Mepham Group

Sudoku Like puzzles? Then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test! Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every digit 1 to 9. For strategies on how to solve Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.

WEDNESDAY CROSSWORD PUZZLE

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 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. No difit can be repeated in a solution, so a 4 can only produce 1 and 3, never 2 and 2. ÂŠ 2013 The Mepham Group. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency. All rights reserved.
