ukon prospectors are upset over government secrecy around changes to how Class 1 exploration work is regulated. Last week, Premier Darrell Pasloski and Grand Chief Ruth Massie announced that they have a rudimentary agreement covering such low-level activities. Under the new rules, prospectors conducting this class of work – which covers everything from hand trenching to cutting trails and setting off explosives – must notify affected First Nations. The changes will cover “significant” portions of the territory as of July 1, but the government hasn’t elaborated on what that means. According to Mike Power, the president of the prospectors’ association, the government has already decided to enforce the new changes across all unsettled First Nations territory next month, and will expand the rules to all settled land by April next year. He says this was all agreed to at a closed-door meeting with chiefs earlier in April, well before the Yukon Forum held before last week’s announcement. They just don’t want to talk publicly about it yet, he said. “It’s gutless and clueless. They’ve just caved in front of the natives, and they figured this is the easy answer and there’s no cost,” Power said. He isn’t the only one upset. Gary Lee is a prospector who has worked in the Ross River area. “We cannot even set up a camp,”

Lee said. “In my opinion it makes me a second-class citizen in that guide outfitters, trappers, First Nation and non-First Nation hunters, everyone can go in the bush on Crown land and do all kinds of stuff with no notification and it’s really, really unfair,” he said. Last month Liberal Leader Sandy Silver cautioned that the rules were about to change. Silver also told of the private meeting and referenced the same promises Power is upset about. The government refused to comment at the time, and continues to do so now. Under the old rules, prospectors could work their claims up to a certain threshold of activity without notifying government or First Nations. Class 1 is the lowest level of exploration, and includes activities such as clearing trees, building trails, digging up rock and the use of explosives. That changed after the Yukon Court of Appeal ruled that such activities in the Ross River traditional territory could infringe on the aboriginal rights of the Ross River Dena Council. But Power claims these changes have been in the works for years. He said similar terms were discussed almost a decade ago when then-premier Dennis Fentie signed a “secret” memorandum of understanding with then-CYFN chief Ed Schultz. In their announcement last week, the territory and CYFN said they were working on eventually signing an MOU on the same issue, but that no deal has yet been reached. Asked

about the document yesterday, the government did not provide a copy of the MOU or comment on how a memorandum of understanding could be secret. Power’s biggest concern is that, rather than renegotiate the threshold levels to exclude things like explosives, the government simply issued a blanket change covering everything from hand-trenching and camping to trail clearing and line cutting and dynamite. “If you’re going to store even a small quantity of fuel, they want to know. If you’re going to drive on a road, they want to know. If you’re going to cut a line of any sort, they want to know. Even if you wanted to hand-trench, they want to know,” he said. Power himself has applied to the mining recorder to do some of this low-level work and said the first step is to be hit with a 25-day wait period, which can be reviewed and extended by another 25 days if needed. It’s a hassle for prospectors, but Power said there are larger concerns at play. “There’s a bigger issue here. They’ve admitted that driving on a road or camping in the bush has an environmental impact. By refusing to clarify the thresholds, the government is leaving itself wide open to another lawsuit,” he said. None of the chiefs contacted for this story returned calls. The Yukon Chamber of Mines also declined to comment. Contact Jesse Winter at jessew@yukon-news.com

Debate surrounds Yukon River intake ‘What more evidence do you need? Three people have died here. To deny that this thing doesn’t have any influence on what’s happening upstream of it really isn’t credible.’ Sam Riches News Reporter

ord Hamilton stands on the banks of the Yukon River, his blue windbreaker pushing up against his chest, rippling in a cool afternoon breeze. The water churns downstream in front of him, passing over an intake pipe first laid in the river in the 1950s. It was the original source for drinking water in Whitehorse. Since then, its purpose, if any, has been up for debate. It’s a popular recreation area for paddlers, but it’s also a dangerous stretch of water. Three deaths in the last 10 years have occurred in this section of the river. “Why is it just here that we’re getting deaths?” he asks, his arm waving out toward the intake. “What is it about this particular place that is so hazardous?” There isn’t a clear answer, at least not yet. The latest death occurred last summer when 19-yearold Nicholas Close-Silverfox jumped into the water to save his dog. With his friends on the riverbank, trying to reach him, Close-Silverfox was pulled into the current. Since that death, no action has been taken by the city to improve the safety of the area, nor have any studies been completed determining what effect the intake has on the hydrology of the river. There are a few signs scattered along the shoreline, warning of a strong undertow. A popular section of the Millennium Trail winds along the river, just a few metres from the sweeping current. Above the intake, the water level rises, appearing to cause backflow in the eddy currents. That much is noticeable to anyone who observes the area, but the hydrology of the area is a source of debate. In 2001, the Yukon Canoe and Kayak Club began working on the intake, removing concrete and rebar with the goal of making that section safer and more aesthetically pleasing. In 2004, things changed. Erosion along the east bank of the Yukon River began to accelerate. Approximately two metres of river bank, adjacent to the Millennium Trail and immediately upstream of the intake, was undercut and sloughed into the river. An ice jam had occurred that winter, which some argue was the cause of the erosion, and prompted an on-site

meeting between staff from Yukon Water Resources, City of Whitehorse Engineering, Department of Fisheries, Yukon Energy Corporation and the Canoe and Kayak Club. Hamilton, an engineer, was at the meeting, then as an employee of Yukon Energy. “I remember the first question they asked was, ‘What is Yukon Energy doing different?’ And the answer was nothing. But we looked at that structure (the intake) and said, ‘Well, that’s different.” Boulders had been placed above the intake, creating a water park for paddlers. In July 2004, an inspection report was issued by the city’s water and resources division. The reports findings stated that a February inspection “indicated that the rapid erosion was produced by a back eddy of significant velocity, which appeared to be created by the spur dyke, but appreciably aggravated by ice conditions in the vicinity of the spur dyke.” Water resources also issued a letter to the Canoe and Kayak Club, stating that the erosion was “of concern,” and complaints from the public had been received. The letter went on to state that “recent modifications to the spur dyke, as part of the

‘Rock the River’ project conducted on behalf of the Yukon Canoe and Kayak Club, may be responsible for the accelerated erosion.” Rock the River is a project to construct a white-water sport and recreation park in the east channel of the Yukon River. John Quinsey, president of the Yukon Canoe and Kayak Club, disputes that the added boulders have made the river more dangerous. Water levels remained unchanged from the work they did, he said. He says the Rock the River project could improve the safety of the river, as well as fish and bird habitat. In the meantime, Quinsey says what needs to happen is further public awareness of the dangers posed by the river. “You can’t make the river a safer place in general,” he says, “but you can create awareness. People need to wear PFDs. They need to be aware of the risks. We have a powerful river running through town. It’s beautiful asset to the city but it’s also dangerous.” Graham Wilson, a local resident and author who has been paddling in the river since the 1980s, says more awareness isn’t going to fix the problem.

“We have something that is very dangerous and I don’t think more signage and public education is going to change anything,” he says. “We don’t need this intake. The city doesn’t get its water from there anymore. I don’t see any reasons to have it.” Quinsey is open to modifications to the intake but says removing the entire structure might have severe consequences. “Some people are saying it should be ripped out and that it serves no benefit, but that’s a naive take in my opinion,” he says. “If you pull out the intake you’re going to change the current, there will be massive erosion downstream and maybe more danger. We need careful study and analysis.” Wilson is adamant, though. “The river has changed,” he says, “and that section doesn’t seem like the same place it used to be. I see the recreational benefit, but it’s not of huge value. I think we could build something that would be much more suitable for paddlers and fishers. Why wait? Recreation shouldn’t come at such a high cost.” The City of Whitehorse, meanwhile, is waiting for a report back from the coroner’s

office before they take further action in the area. “When the coroner comes out with the report we’ll see if it identifies anything directly related to the death and particular aspects of that area of the river,” says city manager Christine Smith. “There’s quite a bit off debate over the hydrology of the area, so you’d want to be able to say definitively, ‘This is what the problem is.’ We will look for guidance from the coroner.” A draft of that report is now in the works, but no timetable is scheduled. The coroner’s office said a report might be issued by the end of June. Hamilton also wants to see a comprehensive study done on the area; the sooner, the better. “Whatever strategy the city has for delaying the issue, I think it’s shortsighted if they are going to say, ‘We don’t have enough evidence to take some action,’ he says. “What more evidence do you need? Three people have died here. To deny that this thing doesn’t have any influence on what’s happening upstream of it really isn’t credible.” Contact Sam Riches at sam@yukon-news.com

Inquest hears from daughters and doctors Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

aps in memory and documentation mark the inquest into the death of Teresa Scheunert, which began in Whitehorse this week. Scheunert was a registered nurse at the Watson Lake hospital. She died there on June 21, 2012 at the age of 47, two weeks after being admitted for severe back pain. This week, six jury members have heard from Scheunert’s two daughters and members of her medical team, who were also her colleagues, in an effort to piece together the circumstances of her death. Scheunert’s daughter Crystal

Thomas remembers her mom as a warm and bubbly person who loved her grandkids and felt most at home in the Yukon. Thomas lived with her mom in the Yukon until she was school-aged, but her mom always wanted to return, Thomas said. “Every day she talked about wanting to go back to the Yukon.” Scheunert returned to school to become a nurse and her dream came true when she got a job at the Watson Lake hospital a couple of years before her death. “She loved it there,” said Thomas. Scheunert was taking a CPR

course in Whitehorse in April of 2012 when she injured her back. She spent the next two months trying to get relief and answers for the pain. The day after the injury, she picked up her daughter Chandre Burchill and two grandchildren from the airport for a several week long visit. Burchill remembers her mom being mostly out of commission during that visit. Burchill did most of the grocery shopping and housework while her mother rested for her night shifts at the hospital, she told the inquest. “She had a really hard time with it.” Plans to visit the Liard Hot Springs and go on hikes were derailed because of the injury. Scheunert was managing her own pain with both Advil and prescription painkillers while trying to get the Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board to investigate her claim and order an MRI to figure out what was wrong with her back. A CT scan done in Whitehorse in May came back with inconclusive results. Scheunert was admitted to the Watson Lake hospital for pain management on June 7. Her daughters communicated with her daily or almost daily, according to their testimony. They remember her complaining of frustration with the lack of progress on getting a diagnosis for her back, and fears about the strong narcotics she was using to control the growing pain. Both daughters say they remember their mom’s speech changing, especially in the days leading up to her death, to a slow slur.

On the day before her death, both daughters spoke with their mom, and found her to be in a state of panic. Thomas had a busy day that day, and missed several calls from her mom before answering one. Scheunert was extremely upset, and kept saying, “I can’t believe it,” but couldn’t elaborate on what she meant, said Thomas. Burchill also got a call from her mom that day, and she was bawling and hysterical, she said. Her mom said she was scared and didn’t know what to do, said Burchill. The next morning, at around 11 a.m., nurses found Scheunert unresponsive in her bed. Efforts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful and she was pronounced dead half an hour later. Since then, Scheunert’s family has struggled to get answers to what happened, and what went wrong, they told the inquest. No one saw Scheunert’s death coming. But a central question of the inquest is whether or not medical staff should have. While the daughters insist that symptoms of overdose on narcotics “absolutely” match with what they heard from their mother in the days before her death, medical staff say they saw no signs that Schenuert was taking too many painkillers. Yvonne Dekok, who attended to Scheunert on the morning of her death, found her sleeping and snoring peacefully and breathing normally more than once that morning, which is inconsistent with someone who is overdosing on narcotics. Dekok spent years as an emergency nurse in downtown Vancouver and is very familiar with the symptoms of someone whose functions are depressed by narcotics, she told the inquest. Scheunert’s doctor, Tanis Secerbegovic, also said she never saw Scheunert expressing symptoms that would suggest she had too many painkillers in her system. Secerbegovic described her

attempts over the course of Scheunert’s hospital stay to carefully adjust her medication so that it would relieve her pain but not cause her adverse side effects. She called Scheunert’s stay at the hospital “a roller coaster of an admission,” because of her mood swings and changing symptoms. Scheunert was admitted to the hospital to provide pain management and emotional support, but also in an effort to help expedite the MRI that could ultimately determine the cause of her pain, Secerbegovic told the inquest. An MRI ordered by doctors in Watson Lake would have a waiting list of three to six months, but one ordered by the workers’ compensation board could be had in a week, she said. Secerbegovic had hoped that Scheunert’s admission to hospital would expedite her case. But when no progress seemed to come, the two of them made a plan for Scheunert to travel to Alberta and pay out of pocket for a private MRI. That plan would have gone ahead within a couple days, if not for Scheunert’s unexpected death. Dr. Said Secerbegovic, Tanis’s father, said there was no hope of resuscitation when they found Scheunert on that morning. “It looked absolutely hopeless from the start.” But they still did everything in their power to try to revive her. At the time, he was 95 per cent sure that a heart attack had killed her, because of her underlying risk factors, including smoking, diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol. But the cause of Scheunert’s death remains an open question. The inquest will continue to hear expert and witness testimony for the rest of this week. After that, the jury must decide on a cause of death. They also may make recommendations to prevent similar deaths in the future.

Yukon firefighter rescues Alaskan wolf pups Ashley Joannou News Reporter

ive abandoned wolf pups were saved from the front lines of a massive forest fire burning in Alaska, thanks to the sharp eye of a Haines Junction firefighter. Mark Fletcher is one of two Yukon firefighters who’s been helping for the past two weeks fight a fire that’s burned more than 775 square kilometres on the Kenai Peninsula. Last Tuesday Fletcher was doing an equipment exchange near the fire line on Kenai National Wildlife Refuge land when he spotted a black ball of fluff with two eyes staring up at him. “He was right on the lip of all the diggings of the den. He was just a tiny black puppy just standing there in the middle of nowhere,” Fletcher said. “He” turned out to be a she – a tiny wolf pup. “It was an absolutely amazing experience,” Fletcher said. “In the end I kind of felt that maybe she was raising the flag, trying to alert me to a problem.” The two spent five minutes sitting next to each other before the pup went back into the den. It was clear the mother was not coming back, said Fletcher. The area had been damaged by fire, walked on by hundreds of people and driven on by heavy machinery used to fight the flames. By the next day, a local biologist had confirmed the den was abandoned. One of the smaller firefighters working in the area volun-

have been offering the pups new homes. They would never survive in the wild because of their extremely young age, Lampi said. “The time it takes for them to get all the care that they need right now, they very easily imprinted on people,” he said. The Alaska Fish and Game Department has chosen the Minnesota Zoo to be the pups’ new home once they’re healthy enough to travel together. “They are kind of a family unit, and as long as they are all together, any place will probably be home to them,” Lampi said. There is no rush to move them, and nothing will happen until the pups get a clean bill of health, he said.

Black bear cub reunites with mother Sam Riches News Reporter

A yearling black bear has been reunited with its mother after a Yukon couple mistakenly believed it to be abandoned. The couple was travelling from Stewart Crossing to Mayo when they encountered the cub about a kilometre east of Stewart Crossing. The bear appeared to be alone in a roadside ditch and was crying out, the couple told Yukon Conservation Officer Kevin Johnstone. After staying on the scene for 45 minutes, and with no sign of a sow, the couple lured the cub into their vehicle and brought it to local wildlife officials. The bear was then cared for by conservation officers and observed for four days before being released back into the same area. “He was underweight and undernourished but we fed him and whipped up some electro-

lytes,” Johnstone said. Two weeks after being released the cub was spotted with a sow. On occasion cubs will be orphaned when hunters accidentally shoot a sow or one is struck and killed by a vehicle, but Johnstone urged those who come across a young animal to leave it alone and report it to wildlife officials. Last year, in the Whitehorse areas, there were 42 reported bear-human conflicts, with the vast majority of cases involving black bears.

HIV-positive man pleads guilty to aggravated sexual assault Ashley Joannou News Reporter

n HIV-positive Yukon man has pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault after having sex with a woman without telling her about his status. Napoleon Ngeruka pleaded guilty in Yukon territorial court yesterday. The sentencing hearing ended early because one of the lawyers was sick. The two sides will pres-

ent their closing arguments to Judge Michael Cozens at a later date. The central issue of yesterday’s hearing was whether or not Ngeruka’s victim contracted the virus from having sex with him. The woman, who cannot be identified, testified she found out she was HIV positive in 2010. If the court believes she was given the virus by Ngeruka that will be an aggravating factor when he is sentenced and likely lead to him spending more time behind bars. The woman, 59, first met 56-year-old Ngeruka, in 2005. They had a sexual relationship that lasted two or three months and had sex maybe five times, she said.

She testified that they didn’t use a condom and that using a condom was never brought up. Ngeruka never told her he was HIV-positive, she said. Had she known about his HIV status she never would have had unprotected sex with him, she told the court. “I would like to ask him why?” she said. The pair met up again in 2009 and had sex about four times, she said. Again, Ngeruka never mentioned his HIV status and never mentioned using a condom, she said. After she was diagnosed, she gave officials the names of all her past sexual partners, she said. She hasn’t heard of any of them testing positive for the virus, she said. A number of medical records were filed with the court showing negative HIV tests. Dr. Mark Wainberg testified that the viral DNA in both Ngeruka’s and the woman’s blood was “very strongly related.” Wainberg, the director of the Jewish General Hospital’s AIDS research centre, said it’s impossible to say with 100 per cent

she said. But there is a risk of the virus being transmitted at any level. HIV often begins with flu-like symptoms and it is possible not to know about it for years. There is no way to say how long a person has been HIV positive when a doctor sees them, she said. The issue of whether failing to disclose HIV constitutes a crime has gone all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. In October 2012 the country’s top court ruled that people living with HIV have a legal duty to disclose their status to partners if there is a “realistic possibility” of HIV transmission. That includes having sex without a condom. The Supreme Court of Canada decision angered many advocates who fought the case in court. They claimed that forcing someone to disclose their HIV status is adding to the stigma that surrounds HIV. They worried people will now avoid being tested since learning that they have HIV triggers a requirement to tell potential sex partners. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

certainty that one person caught the virus from another. The HIV virus mutates over time, he said. It’s also possible that both people caught the same virus from a third party. HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, is a virus that attacks a person’s immune system. When the immune system is weakened a person can become susceptible to unusual infections. Developing one of those opportunistic infections is what’s known as AIDS, the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Medical advancements and improved medications mean that people with HIV can live a normal lifespan, testified Dr. Barbara Romanowski, an infectious disease specialist from Edmonton who sees patients in the Yukon. That is a dramatic improvement over the 1980s when a diagnosis with HIV meant certain death and the only thing doctors could offer patients was palliative care, she said. Ngeruka has been HIV positive since 1993, the court heard. Between 2005 and 2009 the amount of the virus in his system would not have been considered high enough to start medication,

Suspicious house fire and death hit Kwanlin Dun hard Jesse Winter News Reporter

he Kwanlin Dun community is reeling from two traumatic incidents over the weekend. Police are investigating the death of Allan Waugh, a 69-year-old man who was found dead in his home on Friday morning. Foul play is suspected in his death, but there is no danger to the public, police said. And on Saturday night, a home in the McIntyre Subdivision was gutted by what appears to be a deliberately set house fire, leaving between four and eight people without shelter. When police arrived to the fire scene around midnight, the house was already engulfed in flames. A vehicle in the driveway was also destroyed, but everyone managed to get out safely and no one was hurt. “It’s been an extremely difficult weekend for everyone,” said Kwanlin Dun Chief Doris Bill. The victims of the house fire lost everything in the blaze. “In some cases people were pulled from the house without their shoes. They lost absolutely everything,” Bill said. The RCMP is investigating the inferno, which has been deemed “suspicious.” In the meantime, the Kwanlin Dun government is coordinating a donation drive to help the fire victims replace what they lost. Donations can be dropped off at the community’s potlatch house on McIntyre Drive. “We’re providing support for family. We’ve looked at emergency housing and we’re identifying a place for them to go in the meantime. This is the first house fire we have had where we’ve lost a house in the community,” Bill said. The death of Allan Waugh is also hitting the community hard, she said. “We’re dealing with a lot of trauma right now. It’s a very sensi-

Superhero cancer fighters save the day A team of miniature superheroes have once again come to the rescue in Whitehorse’s annual Relay for Life. For a second year in a row, the Superhero Cancer Fighters raised the most money in the event, bringing in a combined $5,150. The team’s top fundraiser was eight-year-old Keelan Robins, who was able to raise $1,695. “I have lots of good friends and family that support me,” said Robbins, who added that his favourite part of the event was spending the day walking with his team. Team captain Sally Bailey, seven, raised an additional $1,415.

tive situation,” Bill said. “We’re providing counseling and support wherever it’s needed. It’s really affected a lot of people, including our young people. Some of them were really traumatized by this,” she said. In a release, the RCMP said they believe that some members of the community still have information about Waugh’s death they have not brought forward. Bill urged anyone with anything that could help to come forward either to the First Na-

BRIEFS “I think people on my team just want to find a cure for cancer so they just raised money,” she explained. The relay took place this past Saturday at Shipyards Park, with participants running or walking around the loop from noon until midnight. Despite the efforts of the superheros, the event failed to reach its

tion government or the RCMP. The government also held a community meeting Monday night with the RCMP to address the issue. “Our concern is community safety at this point. We’re urging anyone if they have information to please come forward. They can bring it to our justice director, Jeanie Dendys, or the RCMP,” Bill said. Yukon’s last homicide was in August 2010.

COMMENTARY Remembering Anne Williams

r. Anne Williams will be remembered by many people for many reasons. For those of us who worked with her on Yukon projects to help victims of crime, she will be remembered particularly for her commitment to making things better for survivors of sexualized violence and for children who are victims or witnesses to crime. Anne was a hard-working, accessible and committed member of the Sexual Assault Response Committee, Project LYNX (a group that brings professionals together to improve supports for child victims and witnesses of crime) and a framework committee on sexualized assault and domestic violence. Those of us who worked with her on these projects knew a woman who would bring both professional and personal commitment to her work. As someone who provided direct service and care to victims, she taught us how to care for assault victims, children and their families. Anne modelled the principles of respect and dignity for victims. For years, Anne was one of only a few doctors working as a medical professional to provide forensic examinations to victims of sexual assault. When she realized how necessary the service was, she recruited and trained other medical professionals to provide it. Anne also endeavoured to make sexual assault examination kits better, both from the perspective of improving evidence collection and from the perspective of eliminating unnecessary or hurtful steps for those in the process. She took the time to publicly advocate for dignity and choice during medical examinations for victims of sexualized violence. In 2012, Anne was instrumental in organizing Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner training in the Yukon. When it looked as though the training might not go ahead, Anne put her own money towards it. She actively

recruited other support and funding. She went above and beyond her role as a physician because she knew the training mattered. Because of Anne’s work and her commitment, there are 16 nurses and a number of doctors across the territory trained to provide the kind of care she knew was important for survivors of sexualized violence. She was willing to testify in court on behalf of victims and was considered a medical expert. She worked with doctors, hospital employees, RCMP, transition home workers, families and victims to improve care and support. We remember her as genuine, as curious. She would listen intently and thoughtfully, and then act decisively. She used her credibility as a medical professional to make things better for the people in her care. Anne often worked “behind the scenes” to make the biggest difference, never needing acknowledgement for the incredible work she did. Anne was stubborn – in the best way, and especially when it counted, when something needed to be done. She had little patience with waiting for official channels when there was important work to be accomplished. Few people can be so persistent and yet so kind. When the group that came together to provide supports and services to child victims and witnesses was looking for a name, it was Anne who spoke up. She suggested the name Project Lynx, to reflect the crucial links of support members were providing while highlighting a Yukon animal. Anne brought in her own photo of a lynx to share with the group, and this photo will be hung in a child-friendly witness room at the law centre. The loss of Anne Williams is the loss of a crucial link (“lynx”) in our work to support victims of violent crime and sexualized assault. We honour her work Publisher

ing about my upbringing, Mr. Leigh, nor do you know what Walt Disney classics I have seen. That is a pretty big assumption. Many people pick up garbage. By what twist of reasoning would this give people the right to kill wildlife? You also write, “I did not very often turn down that which nature legally offered.” Nature legally offered? When did nature have any say in human laws? Is this what is preached in the “hunter ethics” classes? It’s past time we abolished roadside killing of wildlife. It’s the ethical thing to do.

Much ado about housing money by Graham Lang

SECOND THOUGHTS

he newspapers last week were chock-a-block full of discontent regarding the Yukon government’s plan to use federal funds in partnership with local developers to build fixed-rent units for low-income households. Local realtors and the landlord association have come out strongly against the proposed plan, arguing the introduction of government subsidized rental units into the marketplace will give participating developers an unfair economic edge while also penalizing existing landlords by forcing rents to drop. I am not usually one for direct intervention in the market by the government, but after looking into the issue I am inclined to agree that the government’s approach is, at least, logically defensible. The underlying rationale for the initiative can be found in a March 31, 2013 report commissioned by the Yukon Housing Corporation entitled Compre-

hensive Review and Assessment of Housing Issues in Yukon. The writers of the report concluded that while migration to Whitehorse had resulted in pressure on the housing market, development had expanded stock to provide options for middle and high income households to purchase homes. The concerns stemming from the report revolved around the lack of rental units available, and specifically the lack of rental units affordable to low-income households. “The two unmet challenges in Whitehorse are a general lack of new formal rental construction and an absolute lack of lowincome rental units, which results in almost one in six households experiencing affordability problems,” the report states. I don’t think much has happened in the Yukon since March 2013 to alter the above statement. No apartment complexes have gone up in the last year nor, for that matter, in the past 15 years. For whatever reason the market is not building apartments for rent; rather, the market is building condos and townhouses for sale. The report’s findings were largely embraced by local employers who have long complained that they cannot find affordable housing for workers, a situation that was hurting productivity and profitability. Armed with the report and calls from local employers I can

see why the government moved to increase low-income rental stock outside of the social housing space. It makes some sense to intervene to spur growth in an area that the market is unable or unwilling to invest in. I would normally argue that tax breaks or other economic carrots are the more appropriate way to encourage behaviour in the market, but in this case the government has a bag full of $13 million in federal dollars to spend. Given the above (especially the bag of money) the government’s only options to create units in the low-income space are to either partner with the private sector or to build social housing through Yukon Housing Corp. Partnering with local developers allows the government to leverage the dollars into more units while also placing the units in the private market, which is where employers want them, as employers need housing for workers to rent, not social housing units. With the above being said, I do hear the concerns of the landlords and realtors. The project must be managed correctly so as to target low-income households while also ensuring that participating developers do not reap huge windfalls from the government purse. The key for the government in pulling off this build successfully is two-fold.

LETTERS

Firstly, the government must ensure that the build does not substantially encroach on the market space occupied by current landlords. The government can do this by tailoring the build to low-income households, creating smaller units that would not attract households who could afford more space. Middle- and high-income households who rent recently built condos are not going to be chomping at the bit to downsize their living space. This should insulate current landlords from leakage of middle income households to the subsidized units. The introduction of 75 units to the marketplace will, of course, bleed off some of the low-income households forced to live above their means, but so would construction of more social housing units by Yukon Housing. To mitigate this bleed, the government should ensure that the number of units is reflective of the need of the low-income space, both current and future, and not just picked out of the air. Secondly, the government must ensure that any participating developer does not become unjustly enriched by the government contribution. The government must run the numbers and ensure the developer receives a decent rate of return, but not a financial windfall at taxpayer’s expense. This is a fairly easy calcula-

tion that takes into account the fixed rents for 10 years and the depreciated value of the building after that same time. The government should make this calculation public, if they haven’t already, though a curious party could probably put the numbers together by looking at the original request for proposal. Realtors worry that in a decade these units will be sold off as condos, leaving us in a similar position as today. But if the units are kept small enough, there probably wouldn’t be much of a market for sale. If they were sold, this small size would almost assuredly see the units being sold to low-income households. If the government can accomplish the above, it may be able to walk the tightrope between the needs of current landlords, the needs of employers and the needs of low-income households. There is no doubt that the current plan will see some shift in the local rental market, but hopefully the tailoring of the build will mitigate those negatives. What the government cannot do is ignore a commissioned report that clearly identifies a hole in the local economy that affects both employers and low-income households, especially when the government is sitting on federal fund earmarked to address that very issue. Graham Lang is a Whitehorse lawyer and long-time Yukoner.

Nehass found unfit to stand trial Ashley Joannou News Reporter

Yukon Territorial Court judge has found Michael Nehass unfit to stand trial. In court Friday Judge Michael Cozens said it would be unfair to force someone to defend themselves in court if they can’t participate in the process rationally. Cozens said he is satisfied that Nehass suffers from a major mental disorder, based not only on reports from a psychiatrist, but also Nehass’s own behaviour in court. The judge said being fit to stand trial is more than just

having a rudimentary understanding of how court works. Cozens used the example of a connect-the-dots drawing. It’s not enough for Nehass to be able to recognize the numbers, he said. He also needs to be able to connect them in order and colour in the lines. At the heart of the issue is trial fairness, Cozens said. Nehass is facing a string of charges from his time both inside and outside the Whitehorse Correctional Centre. But he believes his incarceration is part of a vast scandal that includes high-ranking officials in many levels of government.

He has accused jail staff of forcibly sterilizing him, trying to poison him and implanting nano chips into the heads of inmates. Cozens said Nehass’s beliefs overwhelm his ability to participate in court. The judge said Nehass cannot maintain rational connections for long periods of time. After the judge made his decision, Nehass told the court he plans to appeal. “This is not over. I am not crazy. What you’re doing is wrong,” he said. Nehass’s case was brought into the public spotlight after he was brought naked to a

video court appearance earlier this year, shackled and pinned to the floor by jail guards in full riot gear. His father has since filed a human rights complaint, alleging that his son has been kept in solitary confinement for 28 months. The Department of Justice denies that claim. Linda Bonnefoy of the Yukon Civil Liberties Society spoke to the judge near the end of the hearing. She called the decision “a way to whitewash” the treatment Nehass has received at the jail. Cozens told Bonnefoy that details of Nehass’s time in

segregation are not before the court. The judge said he was aware that a human rights complaint had been filed. A woman who identified herself as a member of Nehass’s family also spoke. She said Nehass has never had any problems with his mind. Nehass’s case has now been sent to the Yukon Review Board. The board must hold a disposition hearing within 45 to 90 days. It will decide on treatment and review Nehass’s case periodically to reassess if he is able to stand trial. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

the secretive, all-party committee known as the board of internal economy declared Monday. An analysis provided by the House of Commons administration on one such letter sheds a bit of light on what’s considered acceptable and what’s not. One of the disallowed mailings, from NDP MP Guy Caron, was sent into the Quebec riding of Bourassa prior to a byelection there last November. It makes mention of the ndp.ca website. “Citizens now have an important choice to make,” the letter reads. “They must decide what type of representative they want to send to Ottawa to defend their interests.” The analysis says that taxpayer-funded mail cannot refer to an election or anything electoral in nature. It must also not direct readers to a party website or any other site that might later solicit donations. Caron’s letter did both. “In short, it would appear that the mailings were not messages from the individual members as members, but were prepared by and for the benefit of the NDP as a political party and to advance electoral purposes,” reads the Commons analysis. The highly partisan piece of mail sent from John Duncan’s riding, for example, did not refer to any party website or any future election. Mail can refer to an MP’s “parliamentary functions,” which include duties and activities that might be per-

formed in a “partisan manner.” In other words, expressing a political position on an issue before the House would be considered acceptable. Also apparently acceptable is the practice that all parties have of collecting information from different citizens on their political views and preferences – perhaps to be used to track potential supporters. The NDP decried the committee’s decision Tuesday as arbitrary, describing it as the work of rival Conservatives and Liberals on the committee ganging up on the official Opposition. “Conservatives attack Tom Mulcair? A-OK! Liberals attack NDP’s patriotism? Looks great! NDP promote healthier environment? How dare they!” said an NDP news release that included a number of examples of partisan mail. One problem for the NDP revolves around how they orchestrated the bulk mail. Instead of having the House of Commons services verify the content and then print the material, they had a third-party printer do the work. The envelopes were then stuffed and sent out using the free mailing privileges afforded MPs – a practice known as franking. No one in any official capacity was ever made aware of the contents beforehand. The NDP, for its part, insists that it had sought the opinion of the House of Commons administration, and was told that “no rules” applied to sealed mail – although they do apply to other types of pamphlets.

Worker deaths too high: WCB Jesse Winter News Reporter

Alistair Maitland/Yukon News

Student Lexie Branden gets ready to have all her hair removed by Kutters’ Kendra Kulych at F.H. Collins Secondary on Friday. The fundraising event was organized by teacher Carson Close for Marek Stehelin and his family. Marek has been receiving treatment for leukemia at the B.C. Children’s Hospital.

f current trends continue, 2014 could well be the deadliest year on record for Yukon workers. “We’ve had three deaths in 2013 and to date in 2014 we’ve had four,” said Mark Pike, chairman of the Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board. “As a board we’re asking ourselves what do we need to do better? If that trend was to continue, and we’ll pray to God it doesn’t, we would likely set a record for workplace deaths in a single year,” he said. Pike offered these comments last week, during the release of the board’s annual report, which announced the organization’s financial standings and average assessment rate for 2015. On the financial side, the news was all positive. The organization has an accumulated surplus of $14 million, up $5.5 million over last year, Pike said. “This success is due to a large degree to the returns on investments from 2013. The investment return was almost double what it was in 2012,” Pike said. He cautioned that given the volatility of global market “we need to be aware that can’t be achieved every year. We need to be prepared for that,” but even so “the success of the past several years has left our organization

in a good position to weather any storms that do arise.” Yukon businesses covered by the board will pay an average assessment rate of $1.90 per $100 of payroll, Pike said. That represents a significant drop in the past five years, down from more than $3 per $100 of payroll in 2009. There were slightly fewer workers covered this year than last, and accepted claims were down as well to 974 from 1,063. The number of overall claims filed is down 228 from last year, though hearing officer reviews of claims nearly doubled, from 27 to 53. Injury costs have risen this year, Pike said, in part because of changes to things like presumptive cancer legislation for firefighters. The total compensation fund sits at $202 million, up from $174 million last year, said Joy Waters, the board’s CEO. “This means there is more than enough money to cover our current and future costs,” she said. “All of this is good news, but there are also some troubling trends … seven deaths in 17 months is far too many for a jurisdiction of our size,” she said. “I implore all of us to better identify hazards, and remain conscious of using the proper equipment. Do everything we can to look out for ourselves and each other,” Pike said. Contact Jesse Winter at jessew@yukon-news.com

the government and teachers are willing to put their education in jeopardy. Public school teachers launched a second round of rotating strikes on Monday, putting hundreds of thousands of students out of class this week. The rotating strikes by more than 40,000 teachers mean up to 150,000 students will be off school in various school districts for one day each either today, Tuesday, Thursday or

The education ministry says bargaining is set to resume on Tuesday – the sticking points in the dispute are pay, class size and classroom support. The government has said it’s offering a 7.3 per cent wage increase over six years while the teachers’ union says it wants 13.7 per cent over four years.

peratures, Hull explained, the thaw hasn’t reached the frost which penetrated deep into the ground. “With the really cold winter, the frost was pushed down to record levels in the last 130 years. We’re talking eight to nine feet,” Hull said. “Frost doesn’t come out of the ground. The thaw has to go through the soil and thaw all the frost, all the way down to eight feet.” Hundreds of homes are still at risk and have been told to keep water flowing through taps. But with the temperature soaring outside, people are getting more complacent, Hull said. “People are looking out the window and thinking, ‘Heavens, there can’t be an issue with this anymore’ and they’re turning the tap off. We still really

need those at-risk properties to continue running their taps, as they’ve been asked to, until they’re told by us – the city – to stop doing so.” Hull said crews are working flat out to thaw pipes manually using specialized equipment. They’re covering up to 25 properties a day but are likely to be dealing with frozen pipes until well into June. City councillor Paula Havixbeck, who is also running for mayor, said she is frustrated. Some of her constituents have been without free-flowing water for two months, she said. Many have tapped into their neighbours’ water supply with a connecting hose, but that hasn’t been without its challenges. “In some cases, the connector has burst and they’ve had water flood their yards and

we’ve had crews out to rectify that,” she said. “I just wonder why we have so many pipes that are frozen.” Once this crisis has finally passed, Havixbeck said the city has to look at how to make sure it doesn’t happen again. “We need to look at this as a climate-change issue,” she said. “One of the more urgent things is are we … telling developers to dig pipes deep enough to prevent them being frozen?” For homeowners such as Lawrence, better communication is key. He said no one from the city told him his property was at risk or he would have run his tap to prevent freezing. “I thought we were good because nobody came and knocked on our door,” he said. “We weren’t aware that if we just kept our tap running, we’d be OK.”

the “logical person” to take over the bakery. Campbell is helping his protege with the business side of things because while Thompson has an undergrad degree and a master’s degree in kinesiology, he has a lot of new ropes to learn in this job. “I can bake in my sleep,” Thompson says, but the business operations are new to him. He says it helps that he has an amazing team supporting him. Among the bakery staff is his best friend John Lewicki, another multiyear fixture at the bakery who is now the day cook, and his partner Katie Simpson, who was scuba diving in Honduras when Thompson made his big decision. Simpson, who Thompson says is “very much a people person,” has taken on the role of day supervisor. Even with great staff, some businesses in Haines Junction may feel the impact of less tourist traffic this summer, because the cruise ship company Holland America is no longer doing its overland bus trip between Beaver Creek and Whitehorse. Darlene Sillery, acting chief administrative officer for the Village of Haines Junction, says losing Holland America will have “a definite impact”

on the community. The village’s St. Elias Convention Centre rented facilities to upwards of four tour buses a day all summer and the bakery provided daily packed lunches for them. But Thompson says he’s “not at all worried” about losing the Holland America bus groups. “Where Boyd had to pay people to bake, I do not,” he says. “That kind of levels the playing field a bit.” Along with managing the business side of things, Thompson will remain on the overnight baking shift, making almost everything from scratch, every day. He says he’ll try to offset any loss of business by catering more to locals. He’s changing the menu more often, offering a weekly made-toorder pizza night, lowering bread prices and providing some basic grocery items. “That’s getting some people in the door,” he says. Mid-interview, the phone rings and Thompson answers: “Bakery.” It’s a woman from Whitehorse, calling to reserve five tickets for the salmon bake a week from now. Thompson writes down the woman’s first name on a scrap of paper but doesn’t

ask for her credit card information. It seems that while Thompson is bringing some of his own ideas to the business, the laid-back culture of the bakery persists. Thompson’s lease agreement with Campbell is only for this summer and when asked about his future plans, Thompson doesn’t make any promises. “Let’s get through this season,” he says, but adds: “I can’t see myself really going back to working for somebody. Ever.” Towards the end of the conversation he reveals a bit more. “It’s not for everyone, ya know (running the bakery) ... working four months straight-through, all the time – not for everyone.” He pauses. He’s been working since at least 5 p.m. Friday (its 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning) and probably has a couple of more hours to go before he can retire to the trailer out back for a few short hours of shut-eye. He looks introspective for a moment and then suddenly full of conviction. “I think it’s for me.” Karen McColl is a freelance writer and rolling stone who recently settled in Whitehorse.

Harper on U.S. climate change coal crackdown: been there, done that Jennifer Ditchburn Canadian Press

Ottawa he federal government is responding to U.S. President Barack Obama’s latest climate-change action plan with a shrug: been there, done that. But observers of environmental policy say the United States will take a big leap ahead of Canada in meeting its greenhouse gas emissions targets for 2020. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plan would place new regulations on existing coal-fired electricity plants starting in 2020. Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press Bruce Heyman, the newly Prime Minister Stephen Harper responds during Question appointed U.S. ambassador to Period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Canada, highlighted the policy Ottawa, on Tuesday, May 27, 2014.

“What we see today in the U.S. is at least an attempt to try to close that Copenhagen gap and make more progress. They’re going after the single biggest source of emissions for them. That’s a big deal, any way you cut it.” McLaughlin, who was formerly the head of the nowdefunct National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE), also points out that provinces such as Ontario deserve much of the thanks for reducing emissions from coal-fired plants. “The equivalent (to the EPA announcement) would have been for us to announce a similar push on the oil and gas regs, going after our biggest emitting sector – that would be something to talk about.”

Alberta already has regulations on big emitters, with a modest price of $15 per extra tonne of carbon levied on the oil and gas companies that goes into an innovation fund aimed at supporting clean technology. Former oil executive Eric Newell, now chairman of that Alberta fund (Climate Change and Emissions Management Corp.), said the sector is ready for federal regulations. “It is important for the federal government and the province and the industry come down and land on these oil and gas regulations, for no other reason than it creates certainty,” Newell said in an interview Friday. “It creates certainty in the business sense, but it also creates certainty in a political sense of where Canada’s at.”

THE

ARTS Bluegrass set to return to the Junction ‘It’s not just the business it brings to town on that particular weekend but it helps put the town on the map and gets people into the village that wouldn’t go there otherwise.’ Sam Riches News Reporter

fter a four-year absence the Kluane Mountain Bluegrass Festival will be returning to Haines Junction in June 2015. The festival moved to Whitehorse in 2011 in hopes of growing its audience but will be taking this year off as it focuses on long-term viability. The Yukon Bluegrass Music Society, who oversee the event, enlisted the service of Michael Pealow and Associates, who specialize in business and economic development for northern businesses and communities. They were able to retain a consultant through the Community Development Fund. Moving forward, the society now as has a five-year plan to achieve sustainability, said president Robbyn Chiles. Part of that plan includes gradually changing the society’s directives and creating more of an oversight board than a working board, said Chiles. “In the past the board were also the ones doing all the work and planning, with the assistance of volunteers, and that was very difficult – to run a society and run a festival when it’s all the same people.” Chiles hopes rearranging the duties will strengthen the society and allow them more time to focus on growing a membership base. Board members are still able to volunteer for the festival itself, but in the role of volunteers rather than board members. Additional changes include creating a more formal membership base and adding member incentives such as priority purchasing for events, premium passes for the festival and special pricing on merchandise. Membership fees are currently set at $10. John Faulkner, vice presi-

dent of the society and the bass player of bluegrass band Canyon Mountain Boys, said the return of the festival to Haines Junction will help bring tourist dollars into the community. “It’s not just the business it brings to town on that particular weekend but it helps put the town on the map and gets people into the village that wouldn’t go there otherwise,” he said. The festival never found the audience it had hoped for in Whitehorse, after leaving the Junction due to issues surrounding visitor camping. In May 2010, Haines Junction passed a bylaw that prohibited festival-goers from camping on municipal grounds, leaving

commercial RV parks as the only option. Those involved with organizing the festival at that time saw that as a “lack of appreciation for what the event gives to the town,” and, after eight years of calling the Junction home, they moved the festival to Whitehorse. George Nassiopoulos, then the mayor of the village, was frustrated with the process, upset that people would be left with an impression that Haines Junction is not welcoming. Between 2004 and 2009, the village spent $44,500 on facility improvements primarily to meet the needs of the festival. “Even if we kind of left on a sour note over this bylaw, I

would have thought that the more appropriate thing to do would be to say, ‘Gee thanks for all the years that we made this thing work and thanks for the help,’” Nassiopoulos said at the time. Since then local bylaws have been amended, allowing visitors to camp on municipal grounds during the weekend. As for their time in Whitehorse, despite their lack of growth Chiles had only good things to say. “The arts centre has been wonderful to us but our audience didn’t grow. Whitehorse isn’t necessarily the destination that our loyal audience members want to be in and Haines Junc-

tion has really worked towards making it more attractive for the festival.” Next year’s festival will be held from June 12-14 and a lineup will be announced in December. In the meantime, the third annual Kluane Mountain Bluegrass Festival Warm-Up will be held at Lot 37 Boreal Road in Whitehorse this Saturday. All proceeds from the event will go towards funding the 2015 festival. Advance tickets are available for $20 at Well Read Books and Dean’s Strings and Music Supplies.

GENTLE READER: Bridal egotism and callousness have been with us for a long time, but there seem to be ever-new variations in expressing it. To have a private wedding, with or without a delayed celebration, is not objectionable. But the assumption that others are hurt not to be invited to the ceremony is offensive, even in cases where it might be true. Furthermore, Miss Manners is highly suspicious of a celebration that is so long delayed and so lavish that it requires long-term saving. That certainly suggests that putting on a show, and, no doubt, receiving material rewards, are more of a motivation than sharing the occasion. You should treat this disagreeable communication as a wedding announcement and need send only congratulations on the marriage.

However, all things might not be equal in your particular situation, and Miss Manners suspects that someone might well have been doing you a favor with the oversight.

I raced against someone I lost to last year … and I was really happy to get a gold medal racing that particular person.” Cassis also swam to fourth in the 100 free, sixth in the 200 back, eighth in the 50 fly and ninth in the 50 breast. “It was a really good swim meet,” she added. Rennes Lindsay snagged silvers in two freestyle events for girls 11-12. She claimed silver in the 50 free at 30.77 and in the 100 free at 1:07.04. She added on a sixth in the 50 fly and 10th in 100 back. “I feel improved a lot from AAAs. At AAAs I was still lacking in a lot of things

and I’ve been doing some of them,” said Rennes. “This meet I was trying to focus on all the things I need to improve on.” The Lindsays likely could have pocketed more medals but had to leave the meet early on Sunday to catch a flight and they missed two finals each. Both Cassis and Rennes will compete at the B.C. AAA Championships next month. Whitehorse’s Luke Bakica nearly added a fifth medal. The 13-year-old placed fourth in the 200 breast for boys 13-14. He also placed fifth in the 100 breast, eighth in the 50 breast and ninth in the 50 back. Teammate Cassidy Cairns also broke into the top-10 with 10th in the 100 breast. She also snatched 15th in the 100 and 200 free for girls 1112. Brooklyn Massie notched 11th in the 200 free for her best finish in girls 11-12. She also hit 13th in the 100 back

and 100 free. Taylor Harvey snatched a pair of 12th-place finishes in the 50 back and 50 fly for girls 13-and-over. Emma Boyd topped out with 20th in the 50 fly in the girls 11-12 preliminaries. Riley Huston-Gingras came 24th in the 50 breast in the boys 13-14 preliminaries. Rebecca Koser, who only swam in three events, finished 25th in the 200 breast in preliminaries for girls 13-14. Nathan Muir-Cressman, 14, took 18th in 200 back in the preliminaries. Shailyn Moore, 13, swam to 31st in the 50 fly preliminaries. “We had a really fun time. I like being with a lot of teammates,” said Rennes. “I think I perform better at meets when there’s a whole team there, and there were a lot of people there this time,” said Cassis. “You have the team spirit and everyone is there to cheer you on.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

PELLY BARGE

Summer 2014 Operation Information Highways and Public Works is committed to providing a transportation system that is safe and effective. The Pelly barge, also known as the Ross River ferry, is an important part of Yukon’s transportation infrastructure and its importance to the community of Ross River, to commercial operators that are working along the North Canol Road and to visitors interested in experiencing this unique region of Yukon is recognized. Date: The first sailing is anticipated to be on June 9, 2014, subject to local conditions. Restricted Schedule: It will operate from 8 am to 10 am and from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, seven days a week. Please Note: • Local conditions, including the weather, water levels and the Ross River suspension bridge’s stability will be assessed daily and may result in the cancellation of a scheduled sailing if conditions are too risky. • All users will be required to sign a Waiver, Release and Indemnification Agreement that makes them aware of the risks prior to using the ferry. • All users are to be aware that the ferry may have to cease operations without warning. • Interested users are encouraged to phone ahead to see if the ferry is in operation. Commercial operators with specialized needs, such as transporting oversize equipment or livestock, are urged to make additional arrangements and book a time to get across the river. Please phone 867-667-5644 or toll-free at 1-800-661-0408 ext. 5644. For more information please visit the Department of Highways and Public Works website at: www.hpw.gov.yk.ca

the Yukon Schools Athletic Association’s inaugural Elementary Track and Field Meet on Friday at F.H. Collins Secondary. “It’s fantastic,” said YSAA president Marc Senecal. “Kudos again to the F.H. (Collins) staff as well as student participation from both the LEAD program from (Porter Creek Secondary) and the sports academy from F.H. – they’re running the show here and adults are just supervising. It’s the students that are running the events and that’s fantastic.” About 60 athletes from five Whitehorse elementary schools took part in the meet, which included 100-, 200-, 400-, 800-metre, broad jump, vertical jump and a softball throw. It is thought to be the first track meet of its kind in Whitehorse. “Other than having Grade 7s participate at the high school ones, there hasn’t been an elementary track meet to my knowledge,” said Senecal. “And I’ve been with YSAA for over 15 years.” The implementation of sport school programs in the two high schools was the catalyst for the event, which took place two days after the annual high school track and field meet. F.H. Collins introduced its sports school program in September and Porter Creek followed suit with its LEAD – Leadership Education and Athletic Development – program in January. Both programs provide the opportunity for students to split their school time between academics and athletics studies. In addition to running the event, students conducted demonstrations of shot put and relay racing. “It was a great day. Lots of kids running, jumping, throwing – physical literacy right there,” said

F.H. Collins teacher Christine Kirk. “It’s a great day and a great way for our sport schools to showcase themselves and showcase themselves as leaders.” While every athlete came away with participation ribbons, Elijah Smith Elementary received a special honour with the Sportsmanship Award for “effort, team participation, cheering for their teammates, cheering for others,” said Kirk. Ironically, while the F.H. Collins sports school takes off, the school has lost its running track – the only track in Whitehorse – which has

been torn up by construction of the new school. Athletics Yukon coach Don White and F.H. Collins staff put in dozens of man-hours measuring and painting a track on the lower grass field next to the old one. “It’s very fun,” said Christ the King’s Adam Hennings, who won silver in the Grade 6 boys 100-metre. “You get to run against some other schools and compete.” “I enjoyed it a lot,” added classmate Floyd Guanga. “It was my first time.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Shooters prep for nationals with Yukon championship Tom Patrick

A class: Amber Wally B class: Bowen Hildebrand

News Reporter

ukon shooters recently got their first taste of competition in what will be a big season for the Whitehorse Rifle and Pistol Club. Sixteen shooters put their steady hands to the test at the Yukon Rifle Silhouette Championships over the May 24-25 weekend. It was an opportunity for some to shoot in a sanctioned match and receive a classification before the Whitehorse club and the Yukon Shooting Federation host the 2014 Canadian National Rifle Silhouette Championships this July. “Right now it looks like we’ll have a good turnout … better than 50 competitors,” said Yukon Shooting Federation president Lyle Thompson. “We’ll have competitors from across Canada … Right now we have people from Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. coming. We’re expecting three or four people from Yellowknife, a couple from Alaska, some from Washington.” It will be the club’s fifth time hosting the metallic silhouette shooting championship, a form of target shooting in which marksmen aim at steel cutouts of game animals. The nationals will feature six days of competition beginning with three days of small-bore, .22-calibre shooting followed by three days of high-power, hunterclass events with a one-day break in between. The smallbore competition will take place on the 25-, 50-, 75- and 100-metre ranges and the hunter classes will go up to 500-metre distance targets. Though he did not compete at the recent Yukon championship, one local shooter to watch is Whitehorse’s Nicholas Rittel. “He’s our best shooter right now,” said Thompson. “He’s exceptionally good.” The 23-year-old did not

compete last year but had an outstanding season in 2012. Rittel set two Canadian shooting records and won three divisions at the 2012 Canadian Rifle Silhouette Championships in Kamloops, B.C. He also pegged two seventh-place finishes en route to placing 10th overall out of about 100 shooters at the 2012 Silhouette National Championships in New Mexico. So is there much of a home-field advantage for locals at the nationals? “We get to sleep in our own bed,” said Rittel. “The range is the same for each target, but each shooting range is going

to be a little different. Some places paint the targets a different colour.” “I haven’t been shooting as much, but it should be fun this year,” he added. The Canadian National Rifle Silhouette Championships will take place July 5-12. Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Kakuro

By The Mepham Group

Sudoku Like puzzles? Then you’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. © 2013 The Mepham Group. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency. All rights reserved.
