s housing advocates fume over the decision to put the kibosh on plans for affordable housing in Whitehorse, the chair of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce has his own criticism of the Yukon government. Rich Thompson said the decision to scrap plans for 75 affordable housing units in Whitehorse could “erode the trust� in the request for proposals process. “You really run the risk of having businesses ask the question of whether these government RFPs are worth bidding. What does it mean if they can simply overturn them? That’s not dealing in good faith,� Thompson said. The cancelled plans would have seen the Yukon government subsidize developers to build rental units, on the condition that rents be kept at 95 per cent of the median – currently around $900 – for at least 10 years. The CEO of Northern Vision Development said he thought the “whole project was really well conceived.� Brad Cathers, the minister responsible for the Yukon Housing Corporation, said the government cancelled the project after it had already been approved by the corporation’s board, after input from the private sector. Realtors and landlords had warned the government’s plan was unnecessary and would hurt landlords who don’t receive government help. As a businessman and a landlord, Thompson said he can see both sides of the argument. “Every time a government tries to get involved in trying to provide affordable housing, it has this potential risk because it is interfering with normal market dynamics.� But he doesn’t agree with the doomsday scenario predicted by some. “If you see the stats that I’ve seen on how much vacancy there is in certain areas, that would certainly suggest that there’s lots of room for new units to come into the marketplace,� he said. “I don’t know that I would agree that it would flood and destroy the marketplace. I think it would certainly have an impact, and I think that’s what it was intended to do, was to try and increase the availability of units and therefore dampen the prices a bit.� Northern Vision Development was offered some government money as

part of the project, but turned it down before any plans were made public. Thompson said his company was going to knock down the convention centre next to the High Country Inn and build a four-storey, 54-unit complex with a mix of affordable rentals and units set at market rates. More than 20 units would have qualified as “affordable.â€? Eventually, the plan was to build a new convention centre on Main Street next to the Gold Rush Inn, he said. The company was offered $3 million in government money to help build the rental complex. That would have covered about 20 per cent of the costs and wasn’t enough, Thompson said. “You look at it from a return on investment standpoint‌ and we would have actually been underwater for the first seven years of the project.â€? He said the company had been hoping for closer to a 30 or 35 per cent subsidy and so backed out of the project. It’s a serious problem, Thompson said, when the government cancels a project like this after developers have committed time and money to come up with proposals. “To put a bid like that in, you’re probably going to spend $15,000 to
$20,000 on architectural fees, you’re going to spend $10,000 or $20,000 of your internal time, maybe more,� he said. “I mean you can easily probably make a case that you’re spending between $30,000 and $60,000 on it if you’re putting a good project together.� This is not the first time something like this has happened, Thompson points out. In March of last year, the Yukon government rejected all bids to build a new F.H. Collins Secondary School, claiming the numbers came back too high. The same problem halted plans for a new fire hall in Beaver Creek last year. Thompson said he understands the need to be able to cancel a project if the bids come back too high. But that wasn’t the case here, he said. The process, as laid out specifically by the government, was followed correctly. “You have a fair and disciplined process, people spend a lot of money and a lot of time, and they win and then they are told the project is not going ahead because they are rethinking it.� Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

Affordable housing cancellation prompts outcry Ashley Joannou News Reporter
A
dvocates for affordable housing have been left flummoxed and furious over the Yukon government’s decision to axe building plans in Whitehorse. “We were totally amazed and extremely disappointed and disillusioned as well,” said Charlotte Hrenchuk, a co-chair of the Yukon Anti-Poverty Coalition. Earlier this week the government aborted plans to help pay for 75 bachelor and one-bedroom apartments in the city if developers agreed to keep the rent at 95 per cent of the median level in the territory. The current median is about $900. Brad Cathers, the minister responsible for the housing corporation, said he listened to input from private sector investors who told him government interference would hurt the market. The situation was getting better on its own, they said. Hrenchuk disagrees. “Affordability is still an issue. It’s a very pressing issue for people who want to rent in Whitehorse – we know that the median rent has increased 18.3 per cent since 2009,” she said. “We know that the median rent hit a record high in December of 2013 according to the bureau of statistics, and I don’t think much has changed since then.” Hrenchuk said she was left “bewildered” by the government’s decision to back out of a plan it had designed itself. “There was a set process to access this funding. Initially 22 proponents went after it, so obviously they thought it was worthwhile and of interest.” That number was whittled down to five projects approved by the Yukon Housing Corporation’s board – two in the communities and three in Whitehorse. Yukon Party cabinet, through its management board, cancelled
only the Whitehorse projects. Six two-bedroom units are still being built in Carmacks and two one-bedroom units will be built in Carcross. That used up $1.3 million of the $13 million remaining in federal Northern Housing Trust money. “This just shows the government’s total incompetence when it comes to dealing with the housing file,” said NDP housing critic Kate White. “For months they’ve been saying ‘look, we’ve got these great things that are going to be happening in housing.’ They put out press releases talking about how fantastic they are and then they cancel everything with a press release.” White calls the current situation “another Lot 262.” In 2012, the territory tried to sell that 10-acre lot to the highest bidder on the condition that at least 30 affordable housing units be built on it. Only two bids came through and both offers were disqualified. White said she hopes the remaining housing money goes to those with the greatest need. She says the now-cancelled program would have increased the number of units in the market but not helped those most in need: people who find even the median rent too high. She hopes the powers that be “really finally hear what we’re missing for the housing continuum and we move forward with supportive housing. We move forward with actual affordable housing with rates set by CMHC. That we look towards ‘housing first’ models.” Whitehorse mayor Dan Curtis said he’d “be lying if I said I wasn’t extremely disappointed and I know, hearing from my council, that they’re also very disappointed it’s not moving forward.” The mayor publicly voiced his support for the plan before it was cancelled.
2013 at $955. The average price of renting a two bedroom apartment in Dawson Creek is $1,085 and in Fort St. John two bedrooms goes for $1,050. Bergen said having a competitive market, where landlords compete for tenants and tenants look to pay as little as possible, is the best way to go. “They’re going to provide the best product they can. So the only thing I think the government needs to do is keep the market competitive, keep land available, keep mortgages affordable so that people can go out and provide the product,” he said. Both Cathers and Bergen point Alistair Maitland/Yukon News to the Brookside Development Dale Best, co-owner of Brookside Development, stands in plan in Crestview as a sign that one of his condo units off Azure Road. things are getting better.

Top court to hear francophone school case Ashley Joannou News Reporter
T
he Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear a Yukon case involving French language schooling. In a rare decision, the country’s top court decided that the lengthy battle between the Yukon government and the territory’s French school board deserves its attention. In 2012 the court granted a hearing to about 12 per cent of the cases that applied. The decision to hear a case is a yes or a no; the justices do not provide any reasons. Board president Ludovic Gouaillier said the case raises questions about how school boards control enrollment and hiring, infrastructure questions and questions about funding.
“A number of jurisdictions have started recourses before the court to have these issues clarified,” he said. Canada’s Supreme Court Act says a case is chosen by the court “by reason of its public importance.” The francophone school board brought the case against the Yukon government, alleging it had not met its obligations under section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which establishes minority language rights. In 2011 Yukon Supreme Court judge Vital Ouellette ruled in the board’s favour. He ordered a number of administrative changes, but most notably ordered the government to build a new French high school and pay the board nearly $2 million that the school board alleged had been diverted from it to French immersion programs. Earlier this year the Court of
Appeal ruled the judge showed “reasonable apprehension of bias” because of his connections with the Alberta group Fondation francoalbertaine. A new trial was ordered and the school board applied to the top court. Gouaillier said the board disagrees with the appeal court regarding Ouellette’s impartiality. By ordering a new trial, the court also left all of the legal concerns unanswered, he said. Education Minister Elaine Taylor said yesterday that she respects the school board’s right to continue in court. Taylor said the relationship between the two sides has improved. “We remain just as committed to work productively with CSFY towards that successful outcome for French language students in the
territory.” She points to two new portables that have been placed at Ecole Emilie-Tremblay as well as discussions around a new funding formula. Gouaillier agreed things have gotten better. “The reason this matter went before the court in the first place was because… the school board could get nowhere trying to advance some of its arguments and its positions in terms of building a new school and programming,” he said. “The government was clear about not being willing to accommodate. This government seems to be willing to discuss.” But it remains to be seen if this yields concrete achievements, he said. “The board is happy with the level of access and the attitude on the part of the government and is
really hoping that we’re going to be able to make some strides.” The school board recently completed a public consultation period to gauge where the community stands regarding a new French high school. “We have to make sure before we make a decision in relation to moving forward today that we have our finger on the pulse of the community as it currently stands,” Gouaillier said. The conflict has not been cheap. Yukon government officials estimate they’ve spent $2.6 million on the case from the beginning. No date has been set for when the case will actually be heard by the country’s top court. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

n NHL legend will be carving up Whitehorse ice next week. Theoren Fleury, the former NHL all-star, Stanley Cup winner and gold-medal winning Olympian, is coming to town as a member of NorthwesTel’s Summit Hockey School.

Bodie Elias, originally from Old Crow, has been coming to the school since it began and is now one their youth leaders. “He’s taken over that role as one of our go-to youth leaders,� Martin said of the former Whitehorse Mustang. “The kids learn from Theo, myself, Hefford, they learn from us and they go back to their communities with the knowledge and the skills to be a leader in their community.� The camp will also welcome back Brian Kozak. He trains Mike Richards, who recently hoisted the Stanley Cup as a member of the L.A. Kings. John Chabot will also be taking part. The former NHLer played for the Montreal Canadiens, Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings. Chabot is now the host of the television show Hit the Ice, where he travels across the country scouting top First Nation hockey talent. “It’s pretty cool to have him come up here and see the Yukon talent, he’s always looking for more First Nation players to potentially get an opportunity like that.� In 2012, the school hosted NHLer Jordin Tootoo, who became the first Inuk player and the first player to grow up in Nunavut to participate in an NHL game when he made his pro debut with the Nashville Predators. “The list goes on and on of who comes up to help with this camp,� said Martin. “We find these professionals that fit what we’re doing to help these kids through sport.

Health Department still flouting human rights laws Ashley Joannou News Reporter
M
irek Krikorian smiles a lot. His mom jokes that it’s his saving grace since he’s a horrible sleeper. He babbles and is eating some soft food. But at five months old he still doesn’t have a birth certificate containing both his parents’ names. That’s even after the Yukon government voted unanimously to make it possible. Earlier this year, Whitehorse moms Cai Krikorian and Corinne Gurtler were told Gurtler couldn’t get her name on Mirek’s birth certificate unless she adopted her own son. That’s how the Yukon Vital Statistics Act dealt with same sex parents. Krikorian and Gurtler called that discriminatory and filed a human rights complaint. Health Minister Doug Graham was quick to promise a fix. In May every MLA in the legislature voted in favour of the changes. The new law does away with the adoption requirement and allows for up to four people to be included on a birth certificate. “It’s been seven weeks since they passed the final reading and we have phoned the vital statisics office, I don’t know how many times, and we keep
getting told, ‘two weeks, two weeks, two weeks,� Gurtler said. The latest news is that it will likely be the end of July before any birth certificate is available. “In the meantime they continue to hand out birth certificates to herterosexual couples,� Gurtler said. The Department of Health and Social Services is maintaining that it can’t provide the family with a complete birth certificate until the amendments are proclaimed by Yukon’s commissioner. “In order to do that, we need to have all of the forms that are prescribed in legislation done,� said spokesperson Pat Living. Living said there’s a total of 26 forms, including a birth certificate, a death certificate and an application for name change. “We have to make the changes, we have to get the changes approved, we have to get the forms translated and then we have to get the forms designed,� she said. “There is a process, and it’s unfortunate that it has taken us a little longer than we anticipated to make this happen.� Cabinet spokesperson Elaine Schiman says Graham has directed his department to “make this change a priority.� But a quick perusal of the Yukon Human Rights Act suggests the family could be given the birth certificate
Act. The government is doing its job by ensuring its processes are legally compliant, which necessarily requires that any changes to statutory instruments be first put in place.� Meanwhile, Gurtler says getting a birth certificate with both parents’ names is not a vanity exercise. “Our child has no protection of the family right now. His only legal parent is Cai (who is his biological mother).� For a trip to see family in the U.S. the couple had to get legal guardianship documents with Gurtler’s name. Otherwise, if something happened her wife, Gurtler wouldn’t have been able to take her son back home. Her name is not on Mirek’s passport because the passport office relies on the birth certificate, which right Mike Thomas/Yukon News now only has one name. “The birth certificate is his primary Corinne Gurtler, right, and Cai Krikorian at home with their identification document and it’s false, sons, Owen and Mirek Krikorian.

Affordable housing file marked by ineptitude and indifference B
rad Cathers should grow a backbone. As the political boss of the Yukon Housing Corporation, Cathers is entitled to call the shots. But he is also expected to keep his word – something he has failed to do by scrapping plans to spend nearly $12 million on bolstering affordable housing in Whitehorse. Cathers had long given this plan his blessing. What’s more, back in April, the minister told the legislature that he would leave it up to senior mucky-mucks at Yukon Housing Corporation to decide how these funds would be doled out. “It will be the board of Yukon Housing that will review the recommendations made by the internal committee,” Cathers said. “They will then make the final decision on approval of projects.” So much for that. Upon learning that realtors and landlords were enraged by the plans, Cathers caved, overturning the housing corporation board’s approval. (He now claims he misunderstood his role in things when he spoke in the House. Is this supposed to be reassuring, that Cathers apparently didn’t understand his job as minister?) The affordable housing scheme would have seen the territory pay half the cost of private developments, provided that rents were kept below the city’s median rate – currently around $900 – for a decade. The housing corporation reckons the funds could have supported construction of about 75 bachelor or one-bedroom apartments. By bolstering the number of units with middling rents, the hope was to make rents in general more affordable, particularly for those at the bottom rungs of the ladder. Sounds good if you’re a renter.
Not so much if you’re a landlord. But when it comes to the thorny issue of resolving Whitehorse’s shortage of affordable housing, it’s unlikely that any solution will make everyone happy. Landlords and realtors warned this plan would hurt mom-andpop owners of rental suites by causing rents to plunge, while enriching a small number of fat cats able to bid on the affordable housing money. Brighter minds than ours remain stumped about exactly what consequences would have ensued from the plan, yet these concerns seem overblown. As Keith Halliday recently noted in his Yukonomist column, this project would have only seen a modest increase to the total number of rental units in the city, comparable to what the housing corporation has directly built over the past few years, so it’s hard to hard to take too seriously predictions of a big crash. Cathers has defended his decision by pointing to a developer who had threatened to cancel his project if the affordable housing works proceeded. Apparently, these units will offer affordable housing too, sans subsidy. Yet everybody can’t be right. According to the reasoning of realtors, wouldn’t these units drive rents into a death spiral, too? Any claim that the market is about to self-correct should be taken with a grain of salt, too, given the failure of such a thing to happen until now. As a report commissioned by the housing corporation explains in detail, the underlying problem is that building affordable housing isn’t terribly profitable. The proposed project probably would have slimmed profit margins for landlords. If it didn’t, Publisher

it wouldn’t have done its job. But small-time landlords who have invested in a rental suite, if they have been prudent, would have enough of a buffer to endure a modest price drop. Nobody ever said a rental property was a riskfree investment. And it’s important to remember that the current arrangement also creates winners and losers. Perhaps mom-and-pop landlords benefit now, but this may come at the cost of throttling the city’s broader economy. That’s certainly the contention of the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce, which has long maintained that the lack of affordable housing makes it difficult to recruit new hires. Needless to say, many renters are currently losers under the status quo, too. Realtors and landlords insist that any government-supported housing should require tenants to be income tested. But there’s a word for that: it’s called social housing. We already have that – certainly not enough, judging by the long waitlists – but the idea here was to try something different, to help working families who struggle to pay the rent, but aren’t

eligible for social housing. Cathers urges us to consider unintended consequences, but the Yukon Chamber of Commerce asserts that he has created a few of his own: businesses have a new reason to be leery about sinking money into preparing bids on government tenders, following this one being scuppered. Given the similar shenanigans during the tendering of work to rebuild F.H. Collins Secondary School, such fears are not unwarranted. The Yukon government now finds itself in a strange bind of its own making. It has promised to help out struggling renters. Will this still somehow happen, and if
so, how? One solution could be to offer a subsidy to renters within a certain income bracket. But, as the chamber has noted, this could simply end up driving up rents even higher, and in doing so, harm those who aren’t eligible to receive this money. It’s a tricky issue. Then again, the Yukon Party has had six years to think it over since Ottawa first shipped up a big pile of money earmarked for affordable housing. It’s a testament to the government’s ineptitude and indifference that we’re now back at square one to sort out what to do with it. (JT)

YUKONOMIST
A
have an opinion about when the North-Western Territory (and thus today’s Yukon) fell under the control of the Hudson’s Bay Company and eventually the British Empire. It seems to have just happened. Fast forward to the 1820s. The vague British sphere of influence in northwestern North America is beginning to run into the vague Russian sphere of influence in Alaska. Hudson’s Bay traders are beginning to bump into traders from its Russian counterpart, the Russian-American Company. It was the age of Empires. The obvious solution, at the time, was to find some Russian and British diplomats who had never been to Alaska or the Yukon, give them some fantastical maps, and have them start drawing lines. This happened in 1825 in Saint Petersburg, capital of Russia at the time. According to some accounts of the negotiations, at one point the dividing line between Russian America and British America was going to be the 135th meridian. This permits some fanciful historical scenarios. For example, had the border actually been set on the 135th, and had Russia not sold Alaska to the Americans, then the border between the Soviet Union and Canada during the Cold War would have run through the Chinese restaurant at McCrae. (Riverdale would have
been a bastion of freedom, and Copper Ridge some kind of drab Soviet housing development.) But negotiations continued and, perhaps after the soup course and before the beef stroganoff, the British traded deftly and got the land up to the current border on the 141st meridian. Little did they know, but they had just acquired the Klondike gold fields. The future Yukon was now safely in the British Empire. But don’t let your friends get back to their Canada Day chit chat just yet. There’s more! Forward the tape now to 1861 and the Stikine gold rush. So many Americans arrived in the Stikine country that James Douglas, governor of the colony of British Columbia, began to get nervous. He didn’t want any repeat of how an influx of American settlers eventually separated Texas from Mexico. So the “Stickeen Territories” were carved out of the North-Western Territory for some firm and focused British administration. This included Northern B.C. and – get this – up to 62 degrees North. Which means that what is now Whitehorse was in the “Stickeen Territories.” Fortunately this absurd state of affairs lasted only a year, when the Stickeen Territories south of 60 degrees were added to British Columbia and the zone from 60 to 62 was tossed back into the North-Western Territory.
Just to make this even more confusing, I should go back to Captain Vancouver and point out that around 1794 he sailed past the Lynn Canal and declared that the land on the other side of the mountains (i.e., the Yukon) should be called “New Norfolk.” But no one paid any attention and we can return to our narrative. It is now 1870 and the new Dominion of Canada is keen to buy Rupert’s Land, just like the history books say. However, and this is often left out of the history books, the Hudson’s Bay Company was having a sale and threw in the North-Western Territory too. So for a sum of 300,000 pounds the Canadian government bought the Yukon and various other chunks of land the size of major European countries and renamed them the Northwest Territories. A few years later, the Klondike gold rush happened and the Yukon was created as a separate territory on June 13, 1898. Now you can let your friends get back to their barbecue. If they’re mad at you for boring them, perhaps you can invite them to your place on July 15 for a “North-Western Territory Purchase Day” party.

Disappointed, disillusioned and dismayed: Whitehorse needs more affordable housing Charlotte Hrenchuk and Bill Thomas
I
t is hard to know where to start when responding to Yukon government’s decision to pull back funding to help build affordable, multi-unit rental housing in Whitehorse. Ultimately, members of the Yukon Anti-Poverty Coalition are disappointed, disillusioned and dismayed that 75 units of potential affordable housing will not be built. It is hard to know where to start for a number of reasons. This last-minute decision was made even though there is a demonstrated need for the housing in question. This last-minute decision was made even though there is a demonstrated need for incentives for the private sector to build affordable, multi-unit rental housing. This last-minute decision was made even though an open process was in place to evaluate and choose the most appropriate projects. This last-
minute decision was made by cabinet, not by the Yukon Housing Corporation’s board, and is based largely on input from two stakeholder groups. It boggles the mind. It’s important to be clear that the Yukon Housing project was never going to meet the needs of the lowest income earners in Whitehorse. That being said, members of the Yukon AntiPoverty Coalition recognize there is a pressing need for multi-unit, quality, affordable rental accommodation to be available to Whitehorse citizens. The facts are clear – median rents hit a record high in December as stated in the latest Yukon Bureau of Statistics monthly update. Median rents have risen 18.3 per cent since 2009. Wait lists for rent geared to income housing provided by Yukon Housing and the Grey Mountain Housing Society add up to at least 175 files (not individuals) as of February. People need more affordable housing options.
It is disingenuous to suggest that the market has responded to this need. In fact, developers and private industry have stated for years that it is cost prohibitive to build multi-unit rental accommodation. Yukon Housing’s attempts in the spring of 2012 to have affordable housing built on Lot 262 on Range Road demonstrated that in spades. In fact, as far as we know, there has not been a multi-unit rental building built by a private enterprise since those built on Cook Street about a decade ago. Given that Yukon Housing received 22 proposals through a very public request process from private contractors and non-profits last fall, one could assume both the interest and the need were there. We know it has been lucrative for the private sector to build condominiums and town houses. And we understand that. We also know that owners and landlords will charge what the market will bear. That is why more housing options are needed for people
who cannot afford the market price. The stories that the antipovery coalition was hearing six years ago when we started our housing task force have not changed. We are still hearing from people who can’t find housing, who can’t afford housing or who are living in difficult or unsafe situations. We are hearing from people who are not looking to buy a house, but who want a safe and affordable place to rent. We are hearing not only from people working at low-paying jobs, or on social assistance, but young people with new jobs. Families. New residents. New Canadians. People who want to live and work in Whitehorse but are living in their car, in a tent, on a couch or with other families in order to make ends meet. Would these proposed 75 units have filled the variety of housing needs in Whitehorse? No, they wouldn’t. Would they have caused the market to shift? Probably a little. Would some White-
horse residents have had better housing because of it? We think so. Is it the job of Yukon Housing to help ensure residents have more and better housing options? We believe it is. So, now that this project is dead, there is still $11.5 million plus interest sitting in the Yukon government’s general revenues for affordable housing. And who knows what the next steps will be or how much longer we will have to wait for new affordable housing stock to be built. Apparently the Yukon Real Estate Association and the Yukon Landlords Association will be involved in deciding how this money should be spent. Obviously we would hope those in need of the housing in question will be a part of the decision making as well. Given how this decision was made, we’re not holding our breath. Charlotte Hrenchuk and Bill Thomas are co-chairs of the Yukon Anti-Poverty Coalition.

Skilled workers shortages are looming in specific sectors, he added, but it’s not a market-wide TORONTO issue. The construction, mining shortage of skilled workers is and petroleum sectors are examples the biggest challenge many of industries that will face serious Canadian businesses face today, shortages of skilled workers over Employment Minister Jason Kenthe next decade, he said. ney told a skills summit this week, Skills Canada, a group that prowarning it could also jeopardize motes careers in skilled trades and Canada’s economic development in technologies to Canadian youth, the future. has estimated that one million The problem would continue to skilled trade workers will be needed grow as the population ages, Kenby 2020, Kenney pointed out. ney told the one-day conference, “We know we have these huge which brought together stakehold- investments and opportunities, ers to discuss the labour market, particularly in a huge swath of employee training and those under- northern Canada, through the masrepresented in the labour force. sive multibillion-dollar investments Currently 30 per cent of the in the extractive industries that skilled trade workers in Canada are will require tens if not hundreds of baby boomers, Kenney said, adding thousands of skilled workers who that they will soon retire. are not currently available,� Kenney “They are going to take with said. them a lifetime of knowledge and The summit came less than a skill,� he said. week after the government anIt’s necessary that an “informed nounced major changes to the national discussion� take place controversial temporary foreign about the condition of Canada’s workers program, which include labour market, in order to address a cap on the number of foreign future skills gaps, Kenney said. workers companies can hire, stiffer “We can acknowledge that we penalties for businesses found to be have inadequate labour market violating the new rules and on-site information and we need to do a audits and inspections to guard fundamentally better job of getting against abuses. granular information by region and As Kenney began to speak at a news conference wrapping up the industry,� he said.

A
summit, he was interrupted by two protesters who expressed anger over the changes. Within the first minute of Kenney’s remarks, a protester stood up and shouted about unfair treatment of temporary foreign workers. “You are excluding people from rights and services. Immigrants need full permanent immigration status,� he said. “This is a mass deportation order.� The protester was escorted from the room. Shortly afterwards, a second man interrupted Kenney, this time protesting in French, before he was also escorted out. Kenney ignored the incident and continued with his remarks about the need to close the expanding skills gaps in certain sectors. “We spend more than virtually any other country on public investments and job training and skills development, and yet we have unacceptably high levels of unemployment amongst young Canadians, aboriginal Canadians, new immigrants, and persons with disabilities,� he said. Stephen Cryne, head of the Canadian Employee Relocation Council, said discussions about skills shortages are often short-sighted. “We’re competing on the global stage for talent. It’s needed to drive
our economy forward,� he said, adding that shifting demographics, the globalization of trade and new technologies are worldwide concerns. In 2012, a McKinsey Global Institute report estimated that by 2020, the global economy could see 90 to 95 million more low-skill workers than employers will need, Cryne said. He added that this projection highlights the need to compete for workers on an international level, and increase the mobility of workers within Canada. Kenney noted that skills shortages are propelled by the inability to attract youth into the trades. Countrywide, there are 13 different apprenticeship programs with specific rules and requirements, he said. “Greater harmonization of that regime would make it easier for young apprentices to complete their training and give them the mobility to go where the jobs are.� He cited countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom as places where apprenticeship programs offer youth better employment options, calling the programs “radically better.� In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Denmark, Kenney said, about two-thirds of young high school
students at the age of 16 enrol in paid apprenticeship programs and graduate at 19 “unencumbered by debt.� “(They are) graduating with a certificate that is considered to have the same social and economic value as a university degree,� he said, adding that similar programs need to take root in Canada. Young Canadians present a paradox, said Kenney. They are among the most educated in the developed world, but have an unemployment rate of 13.4 per cent, nearly double the general unemployment rate. “It’s unacceptable,� he said.

The email didn’t get much reaction internally until the Father’s Day version arrived a month later. It made no mention of any household duties, but said the men were “shaping the minds and futures of the next generation of leaders.” “… Needless to say, it can also be daunting to consider the immense and life-long influence we have over our children,” MacKay wrote. “Our st Deadline: July 31 words, actions and examples greatly mould who they will become. “We can only hope that the moments we spend teaching, guiding and loving them will sustain them throughout their lives.” The Mother’s Day message does not touch on the impact the women have on their children’s futures.

started in 2008 with $110 million from the federal government. It involved 2,000 Canadians with mental illness who were homeless in Winnipeg, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Moncton, N.B. The Winnipeg study was conducted between 2009 and 2013 and involved 513 people. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either a Housing First intervention or usual services provided to people who are homeless. The Mental Health Commission of Canada says the results are

promising, but there needs to be a plan to prevent people from becoming homeless and make available more affordable housing. “Working closely with all our partners, including the aboriginal community, we are proving that the Housing First approach is a winning strategy for Winnipeg – and is a solution that can be adapted to work across the country,” Louise Bradley, commission president and CEO, said in a news release last week. In Winnipeg, the participants had mental health and medical issues, 69 per cent finished high school and all had low monthly incomes. Ninety-one per cent of participants were unemployed at the time of the study, 52 per cent had worked steadily in the past.
In the last six months of the program, 73 per cent of the participants were housed all or some of the time. Due to low vacancy rates, it was hard to get housing and the study also suggested property owners may discriminate against aboriginal tenants. “At Home/Chez Soi demonstrated that by working together in partnership to support the Housing First model, we can make a difference in the lives of those who are homeless, but the work must not end now,” said Peter Bjornson, Manitoba minister of Housing and Community Development. He announced that Manitoba will continue to provide housing subsidies and supports, with more than $2 million this year going to participants of the program.
Judge rebukes aspiring doctor, lawyer dad for suing over denied medical school admission Canadian Press WINNIPEG judge has tossed a lawsuit filed by a woman who didn’t get into medical school. Henya Olfman was denied admission into the University of Manitoba’s faculty of medicine in 2010 and lost a subsequent appeal with the school. Her father, a lawyer, then took the battle to court, claiming his daughter was entitled to be in the medical program since she had completed her pre-med courses. In a recent decision, Winnipeg Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Chris Martin describes the 154page lawsuit as frivolous and an “absolute abuse of process.” He says it’s unfortunate the young woman didn’t get into medical school and it must have been disappointing to her parents. “Regrettably, setbacks and denied aspirations are a part of life,” writes Martin. “Yet, to confront this through a lawsuit with the attendant substantial expenditure of time, effort and money to the specific defendants, as well as to

the plaintiff herself, and to the administration of justice generally, is remarkable.” Martin suggests the woman’s father, Shawn Olfman, lost his objectivity in crafting the suit on behalf of his daughter. The judge calls the claim more of a meandering essay that piles up as many arguments as possible. The lawsuit claims the university’s medical school has a flawed selection process and breached an informal contract it had with Henya Olfman by offering her pre-med classes. The suit further alleges that denying her admission violates the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and, in turn, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The suit went as far as to call itself extraordinary. “More than any other case in Canada’s history, this case will determine Canada’s next few hundred years.” It’s the second time the family has tried to sue. A previous claim was struck down in 2012, but it was rewritten and filed again. The judge says claims like Olfman’s clog the justice system and create delays for “proper” claims. He awarded $6,000 in legal costs to the university and the provincial government. A message left at Shawn Olfman’s office was not immediately returned.

The exercise did not put any confidential information at risk, but the poor results raise red flags about public servants being caught by actual phishing emails. A spokeswoman says â&#x20AC;&#x153;no privacy breaches have been reportedâ&#x20AC;? from any real phishing scams at Justice Canada. Carole Saindon also said that two more waves of mock emails in February and April show improved results, with clicking rates falling by half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an awareness campaign designed to inform and educate employees on issues surrounding cyber security to protect the integrity of the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s information systems and in turn better protect Canadians,â&#x20AC;? she said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this case, this exercise specifically dealt with the threat from phishing which is increasingly being used as an attack vehicle of choice

US treads warily on unwelcome common ground with Iran and Syria in Iraq Matthew Lee Associated Press
WASHINGTON he Obama administration has found itself in a foreign policy and national security pickle of rare complexity with the apparent entry of Syria into the Iraq conflict on the side of the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad as well as active Iranian military support for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Washington already was toeing a delicate line with Shiite Iran, which the U.S. deems the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism, over their common short-term interest in turning back the advance of militant Sunni rebels in Iraq. Now, to its dismay, Syrian President Bashar Assad – regarded in Washington as a pariah who should be ousted – has joined the club with what U.S. and Iraqi officials say are airstrikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in western Iraq. ISIL had been fighting Assad in Syria before turning its major focus to seizing large swaths of northern Iraq. Assad is being supported by Iran in his country’s own civil war with opposition forces, and a decision for Syria to hit ISIL on Iraqi soil is perhaps not surprising. While Maliki may not like Syrian attacks on Iraqi territory, “if it distracts the Islamic State from its trek towards Baghdad for a while, then they will welcome it,” said Robert Ford, former U.S. ambassador to Syria. But as Iraq’s other immediate neighbours – Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey – bolster their defences, the new fighting threatens to unravel a byzantine balance of Mideast alliances and enmities that the United States long has sought to manage. The U.S. is deploying 300 special forces to train and advise

the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Israel, plus the prime minister of Lebanon, to try to ease their fears and discuss how to attempt to co-ordinate a response. In another sign of how critical the situation has become, Kerry will then fly to Saudi Arabia on Friday to hold similar talks with King Abdullah. Karim Sadjipour, an Iran expert with the Carnegie Endowment for In-
ternational Peace, said the situation in Iraq, coupled with ongoing U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations, have produced a “bizarre dynamic” in which the United States and Saudi Arabia appear to be “allies but not friends” and the United States and Iran appear to be “friends but not allies.” The addition to the mix of Syria’s Assad is likely to further muddy the waters.

Academics call for oilsands moratorium, U.S. Canada carbon co operation Bob Weber Canadian Press
C
anada needs a moratorium on new oilsands projects and pipelines, says a group of Canadian and U.S. academics. In a comment article in the prominent science journal Nature, they argue that leaders have to stop considering the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development project by project and start thinking about the big picture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Governments have allowed corporations to profit from one-
off policy decisions,â&#x20AC;? the academics write in the article. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The collective result of these decisions is unnecessarily high social, economic and environmental costs.â&#x20AC;? Governments have become like a smoker who believes that since the next cigarette isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to kill him itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to keep lighting up, said economist Mark Jaccard, one of the eight co-authors, from Simon Fraser University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going about it the wrong way if I looked at that individual cigarette. I should have looked at all of the cumulative effects of each of the cigarettes I would

have smoked and then I might have made a different decision.â&#x20AC;? Co-author Thomas HomerDixon of the University of Waterlooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Balsillie School of International Affairs said governments need to start putting the pieces together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even the folks who would not agree with us with respect to many of the points weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making would probably agree that the world is changing, that over the next decades thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a move away from carbon-based fuels,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big job for North America and it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be approached in piecemeal fashion, with lots of individual decisions that are made in isolation from each other.â&#x20AC;?

if climate change is to be kept manageable, Jaccard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of those models show you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be expanding unconventional oil. As a group at MIT said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The niche for the oilsands industry is fairly narrow and mostly involves hoping that climate policy will fail.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to shut the oilsands down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just stop their rapid expansion, Jaccard suggested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to lose jobs in Alberta,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may not be able to bring in foreign workers as fast as you were and you may not have inflation as high as you have it and you may not have as much of a boom-and-bust cycle in your economy. But youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to see your economy shut down.â&#x20AC;? The article calls for a price on carbon that would restrict high-emissions projects. It adds that governments need better

regulatory tools for studying tradeoffs between development, the environment, social justice and health. It also calls for a co-operative carbon policy between the United States and Canada. Homer-Dixon points out carbon price regimes are spreading. China has announced plans for a carbon price by 2015 and the International Energy Agency expects that about one-third of global emissions will be subject to such schemes within a generation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Folks donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to confront the reality here, especially in Alberta, that the world is changing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These things are proliferating and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going away.â&#x20AC;? Jaccard acknowledges that such policies may not be immediate political winners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more the challenge is global, abstract and distant, the more youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need moral leadership.â&#x20AC;? But Alberta must rise to the challenge, said Homer-Dixon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alberta has done and is doing very well. Just because things are good now and have been in the past doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to continue indefinitely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to sit back and take a very close look at what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and think about the longer term in the larger context of the continent. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a happy message in some ways for Alberta, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think denial is an option.â&#x20AC;? The authors of the article also include Wendy Palen, Anne Salomon, Ken Lertzman and Maureen Ryan from Simon Fraser University, Thomas Sisk of Northern Arizona University and Joseph Arvai from the University of Calgary.

The rail line is expected to see increased traffic of grain shipments and other goods due to growth at the port and a longer ice-free season. Omnitrax also wants to conduct test runs of crude oil shipments along the line, although the plan has met with strong opposition from environmental groups, the Manitoba government and others who fear a spill would be disastrous for the environment.

Disruption on Manitoba rail line grows: now freight as well as passengers Figures from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada show there were 63 accidents on the rail line between 2003 and 2012. All but 10 were derailments. On the weekend, Omnitrax said several days of repairs would be required before freight service could resume.

“There’s a whole lot of things that I’ll be able to do with this. I can throw it all into the mix. That involves classical guitar, some electric guitar, some trumpet and maybe some singing.” The theme of Mah’s marathon performance will parallel that of the festival. “It’s about night,” he says. “It’s a subject people have been writing music about for a very long time.” Marie-Helene Comeau will be calling on the public for help in her art performance, entitled As Time Floats By. Building on the theme of steamboats and their role in shaping Yukon history, her display will use hundreds of paper boats as a metaphor for time and change. Observers will be asked to help with the creation of the small origami boats that will eventually cover the entire floor of the Centre de la fracophonie . Marten Berkman’s giant images of flowers, chunks of natural spaces and industrial landscapes will cover the walls of buildings near the Old Fire Hall. These surreal 3D projections are intended to explore the relationship between humans and nature. At the site of YuKonstruct in the industrial area, Kevin McLachlan
and Emile St-Pierre will be working on a full night of breakdancing. Their presentation will involve public workshops, talks and a film focusing on breakdancing culture. At the same time, a live graffiti piece will be developing on-site by artist Ali Khoda. For those more inclined towards the gastronomic arts, the introduction of fine food into the festival is sure to please. “The incorporation of food is a unique element of the Whitehorse Nuit Blanche,” Robinson says. “It’s meant to be a tour showcasing the amazing food culture we have here that features wild, fresh, Yukon-sourced ingredients.” Three Yukon chefs will be providing free feasts at various locations around Whitehorse at different times during the night. The first, prepared by Louise Hardy, will take place at 804 Jarvis Street at 8 p.m. and, according to the menu, will feature “wild rose marshmallows, meringues and butter cream-iced pink rose petal cake.” The last will be a closing breakfast feast at Midnight Sun Coffee Roasters from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. on July 6. While the festival will present the live works of five officially commis-
sioned artists it will also include presentations and workshops from several other contributing artist groups. Venues, which are mostly downtown, total at least 11. So why host something on this scale in the middle of the night? For Robinson, it’s about allowing people’s perception of space to change. “Daytime is regular,” she says. “The nighttime offers a different perspective and different perceptions. There’s almost something naughty about staying up all night long. It’s way more fun.” She hopes people come away from the experience having seen something unexpected, something that will hopefully change the way they think about art and it’s place in our community. People interested in attending Nuit Blanche can find more information about it on the soon-to-be launched website, www.whitehorsenuitblanche.com, on the event’s Facebook page, or by picking up a schedule and map at various distributors downtown.

Soil bug compound foils antibiotic resistance; could help prolong drugs’ use Helen Branswell Canadian Press
TORONTO soil sample from Nova Scotia has yielded a compound that could help fight antibiotic resistance. Researchers from McMaster University in Hamilton have discovered that a fungus found in the sample produces a chemical that inactivates the dangerous NDM-1 resistance gene, making bacteria containing it vulnerable to the antibiotics NDM-1 normally helps them evade. The scientists liken the compound to an adjuvant, a chemical that enhances the power of vaccines. “Simply put, the molecule knocks out NDM-1 so the antibiotics can do their job,” said Gerry Wright, the biochemistry professor who leads the team which conducted the research. Their finding was published Wednesday in the scientific journal Nature. The precursor chemicals that antibiotics are based on exist in nature and are often found in soil. For years, pharmaceutical companies searching for new versions of these important drugs maintained libraries of bacteria and fungi found in soil, testing the chemicals they produced to see if they had could be used to fight infections. But as new finds dwindled companies have largely withdrawn from this field, leaving little in the antibiotic pipeline. With the rise in antibiotic resistance and the emergence of multi-drug resistance factors like NDM-1, which confers resistance to almost all existing antibiotics, experts have warned the world is facing a future in which antibiotics no longer work. That could mean surgeries and procedures we view as standards of modern medicine would be too dangerous to undertake because of the risk of infection. Wright figured that if soil has been a source of antibiotics, it might also contain small molecules that might counteract

resistance when taken in combination with antibiotics. So he and his team began to compile their own library from soil samples taken from across Canada. It now contains about 10,000 samples. “If we accept that finding things that just kill bacteria outright is going to be hard to find, then why don’t we try things that incapacitate resistance?

They then began to add them to dishes containing an antibiotic and E coli bacteria were resistant to the drug because they had been engineered to contain the NDM-1 gene.

used safely and successfully in people. “The next stage for us is to do the sort of hard slog – toxicology and pharmacology studies to make sure we’re not seeing any changes in physiology that might send this compound into the dust bin. So far the experiments are positive. But they could all turn in a second,” Wright admitted. “I have no idea whether or not this will actually have legs in the clinic or not, but we’re certainly marching towards that direction.” A commentary on the finding suggested it is hopeful, but warned there could be hurdles on the road to use in people. For one thing, it noted AMA has previously been shown to inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which is naturally produced by humans. It causes blood vessel constriction and increases blood pressure. People with high blood pressure
are often prescribed ACE-inhibitor drugs. The authors of the commentary, Djalal Meziane-Cherif and Patrice Courvalin from the Institut Pasteur in Paris, said it remains to be seen if AMA would trigger serious side-effects in people, though they noted that was not the case in mice. They also warned that resistance to the combination could arise – something Wright accepts as a fact of life. “The organisms are going to keep evolving different ways to get around them (antibiotics) and they’re going to collect these (resistance) genes in multiple packages. So maybe in the future we’ll be looking at cocktails of three compounds, four compounds,” he said. “That’s common … in HIV, it’s common in oncology, it’s common in tuberculosis treatment. It’s just not common in treating infection…. It just might be in the future.”

LIFE Don’t call them pirates Two self-described ‘crazy Germans’ are making another go of a historic river trip

sewing the sail. When they arrived in Whitehorse last week, many residents recognized them from last year. “We heard people say, ‘Look – there go the pirates,’” laughs Kreuzer, smoke escaping his smile and billowing up in the air. “We’re York men – but pirates, too.” The two aren’t strangers to living in the past. They are both members of New Historical Adventure, a historical re-enactment group in Germany. Kreuzer, who goes by the moniker Red Badger, owns his own company making traditional boats and metal tools, and Schroter works in security. Despite often travelling into the past, this trip represents something more for the pair. “If we start a plan, we can’t give up. That’s one of our problems,” Kreuzer says. Initially, Schroter, who is visiting Yukon for the fourth time, had planned to paddle himself to the Bering Sea, following a route a friend had previously taken. When he mentioned his plan to Kreuzer, he wanted in, but under different conditions – he wanted them to experience the journey the way the fur traders had. From there the two began the process of funding the trip, building and purchasing supplies and trying to find sponsorship. They were able to recoup some costs but most, an expense of more than $130,000, came from their own pockets. “We’re not soccer players,” Kreuzer says, explaining the difficulties obtaining sponsorship,

“just two crazy Germans.” Beside Kreuzer, Schroter handles a musket, one of several historic weapons and knives they will be travelling with. “This is for when the bear comes,” Schroter says, with a smile. The two will camp in a yurt they are traveling with, and build shelter with a tarp and the boat’s oars. On Pawluck’s property, they’ve set up a base camp. A fire crackles behind them as
they speak, their supplies and tools strewn around, the midday sun shining off the pine of the boat. The boat is named Confiance, a name that came in their dreams, they say. “We have the confidence to build our boat and to make this trip happen, Kreuzer says. “If you have a dream, you hang on it it – and in our dreams there was this boat.” Contact Sam Riches at sam@yukon-news.com

A pioneer of the farm-to-table philosophy now argues it’s not nearly enough ‘If you think back to truly sustainable ecologies, cuisines evolved from what the land could provide. … When Parmesan cheese was invented in Italy, what did they do with the whey? They fed it to pigs, and made prosciutto.’ Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press
NEW YORK t Blue Hill, his intimate, understated restaurant in Greenwich Village famous for its locally sourced ingredients – not to mention having hosted Barack and Michelle Obama on a much-publicized date night – chef and co-owner Dan Barber is featuring a Rotation Salad this week. Not the most inviting name for a dish, perhaps. But this salad epitomizes Barber’s new approach to food – not only how we prepare it, but how we farm, consume and even conceive of it. And so this particular salad includes soil-building crops: Barley, buckwheat, rye. And legumes, a natural soil fertilizer: Peas, kidney beans, peanuts. A so-called “cover crop,” meant to replenish soil – pea shoots – is used in the vinaigrette. Seed crops include benne and rapeseed. Why is all this significant? Many know Barber, who also has another well-known restaurant in leafy Westchester County, based on his own farm – Stone Barns at Blue Hill – as a key champion of the farm-to-table movement, favouring locally sourced and produced food. But now, he’s shifted his approach. In The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food,

Barber argues that the farm-totable philosophy, while wildly and increasingly popular, is fundamentally flawed, because it’s based on cherry-picking ingredients. What we need instead, Barber says, is a cuisine based on what the land can provide – nothing more, nothing less. He argues for a nose-to-tail approach, not to one animal, but the entire farm. He recently sat down at Blue Hill with The Associated Press to explain. (The interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.) AP: For starters, what the heck is “The Third Plate”? Barber: It’s not a specific plate of food. You could say it’s a metaphor for a way of eating. AP: Is there a First or Second Plate? Barber: The First Plate would be that seven-ounce (or eightor twelve-ounce) steak that becomes the paradigm of everyday dining. It’s protein-centric, with a few veggies to fill in, and maybe refined rice. The Second Plate is actually the same architecture, but you know where your ingredients are coming from a little more – hopefully you got them at the farmer’s market or they’re organic or sourced in a way that connects you to a farm or community. It’s tastier, but it’s not a way to think of our future diets. AP: But with that Second Plate, aren’t we doing everything right?
Barber: Yes, but we can’t support the system. That’s becoming abundantly clear from alarming forecasts about the future of the environment, soil, water. You know, with the farm-to-table movement, we feel good about what we’re eating; we’re lulled into thinking it’s the answer. The evidence is actually saying the opposite. It’s saying that in the last 10 years, big agriculture is getting bigger. AP: A harsh assessment. Barber: It sounds hard-hearted. I mean to sound hard-headed. The recent census said that, for the first time in the history not just of this country but of the world, more than 45 per cent of the money we spend on food is in the hands of one per cent of the farmers. AP: How did your new philosophy emerge? Barber: About 10 years ago, I really wanted good flour in the restaurant. I met an amazing farmer named Klaas and bought his emmer wheat. The bread was jaw-droppingly delicious, and I was really proud: it was sourced locally, organically and was an ancient grain, headed for extinction. I went up to visit his farm a few years later. I was standing in the middle of his field – 1,500 to 1,800 acres – and I didn’t see any wheat! He showed me buckwheat, barley, bean crops, mustard plants and clover. He described these meticulously
ecologies, cuisines evolved from what the land could provide. French peasant cuisine. Italian cuisine. Cantonese cuisine. All the cuisines in India. When Parmesan cheese was invented in Italy, what did they do with the whey? They fed it to pigs, and made prosciutto de Parma. The pigs are fattened on the whey – that’s what makes prosciutto so delicious – but it’s a waste product of the cheese. AP: You write a lot about soil. Barber: Yes, the whole first quarter of my book. It’s hard to get through. But it all starts with soil. I fell in love with soil. timed rotations of cover crops AP: I’m the consumer.

Swiss say only decades left to retrieve â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lost and foundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; archeology artifacts in glacial ice John Heilprin Associated Press
GENEVA wiss scientists say only decades remain for alpinists and hikers to retrieve items covered for hundreds or even thousands of years by ice which is now melting. With Swiss glaciers expected to melt away within a half-century, a Swiss cultural institute and a graduate student in the canton (state) of Graubuenden have launched a pilot project through the end of 2015 to gather artifacts trapped long ago in the ice that are now turning up. The clock is ticking, they say, because once the ice melts away the items will no longer be preserved. Leandra Naef, who has a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in prehistoric
S
archaeology, told Swiss news agency swissinfo.ch that the project in eastern Switzerlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mountains â&#x20AC;&#x153;has to happen now, or else it will be too late, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not already too late.â&#x20AC;? The project encourages people to turn over things such as wood or clothing they might encounter in eastern Switzerland, where the Swiss National Park is located. It aims is to narrow down likely sites where archaeologists could search further. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us archaeologists, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of course an absolute El Dorado,â&#x20AC;? Naef said. Martin Grosjean, executive director of the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Bern, told swissinfo.ch that Switzerlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glaciers and ice patches are melting â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely quickly.â&#x20AC;?

to be used as a baby monitor to intervene when we see something that makes us feel sad as humans,â&#x20AC;? said Erynn Call, a raptor specialist with the state of Maine. Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s empathy is triggered by cuddly animals, especially the plight of a single creature as opposed to larger group thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suffering, said Nicholas Epley, professor of behavioural science at the University of Chicago. Nonetheless, experts are loath to get involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The general view is not to intervene,â&#x20AC;? said Patrick Keenan from the Biodiversity Research Institute in Maine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are wildlife. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not pets.â&#x20AC;? All told, there are hundreds of wildlife webcams showing everything from polar bears to peregrine falcons to clown-like seabirds called puffins. Viewers see remarkable things, like bears catching salmon, or eagles hatching from eggs. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always pretty. Two summers ago, viewers
watched â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peteyâ&#x20AC;? the baby puffin starve on a Maine island because the only available fish were too big to fit in his beak. Viewers begged this spring for someone to do something for a Maine osprey that suffered from a condition causing it to bleed from underneath its eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year, we show polar bears that are starving while waiting for the ice to freeze. People are like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Feed the bears!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; No, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to feed the bears,â&#x20AC;? said Jason Damata from explore.org, which has about 50 wildlife webcams running at any given time. Viewers of a webcam sponsored by the Biodiversity Research Institute demanded that wildlife experts do something when it seemed that the parents had abandoned the pair of bald eaglets in Hancock County. Viewers who watched one of two eaglets die last weekend bore witness to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in many of the more than 600 eagle nests across Maine,
$
said Call, who works for the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. In general, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a success when one of two eaglets survives to leave the nest, she said. But sometimes the pressure to intervene can be too great. In Minnesota, wildlife officials last month were pressured to try to save a baby eaglet with a broken wing. In the end, the eaglet had to be euthanized. Portia Reid of Dallas, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watched the Maine eagle nest for three seasons, said she wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve supported having someone shimmy up the tree to save the surviving eaglet from starvation if its parents hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t returned to the nest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you invite humans in, be prepared for human emotions. The majority of (bird watchers) accepts the raw nature of survival of the fittest and understands the no-intervention policy. However, there are cases where intervention is needed,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Anthropologist Julie Cruikshank has produced a remarkable body of work, including oral histories of First Nation women elders, which some might find fascinating, but her more recent volume, Do Glaciers Listen? Is an excellent synthesis of the First Nation and personal wisdom acquired during her career. Cruikshank also collaborated with John Ritter and Doug Hitch on another book, Travels to the Alseck, which details the personal narrative of English explorer Edward Glave and his companion Jack Dalton, into the remote regions of southwest Yukon.

ful personal story of Ogilvieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time in the Yukon as a government surveyor. Ogilvie was a personal witness to and participant in many of the events that made up the Klondike gold rush. If you are interested in First Nation history, then you might wish to read Helene Dobrowolskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, Hammerstones, which tells the story of the Trâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ondek Hwechâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in, the people who lived at the mouth of the Klondike River, of their displacement by the gold rush, and their struggle to regain control of their land and their lives in the century that followed. Part of the Land, Part of the Water by Catharine McClellan, an overview of First Nation life in the Yukon, would be an enjoyable and informative introduction to the subject, while
ummer is here. Whether you plan to relax at your cabin, your favourite lake or just on your back porch, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to curl up with a good Yukon history book and immerse yourself. Here are some you might enjoy. For starters, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pierre Bertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic book, Klondike. For those who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already tackled this piece of literature, it is the best summary of the event that led to the formation of the modern Yukon. The narrative is compelling, the story is well paced, and three generations after its original release, it is still the definitive narrative of the last great gold rush. I remember my first encounter with the book, while sitting on my rickety iron frame bed in my $12 room in early June during my first visit to Dawson City in 1976. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put it down until I had finished reading it from cover to cover. It never got dark outside, and, oblivious to time, I finally closed the book about 5 a.m. If you want to read a more personal rendering of the Klondike experience, you might try Bertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Drifting Home. This is an account of a trip he took with his family in 1972, retracing the journey taken by his father in 1898, and a second trip taken years later down the Yukon with his parents when Berton was a young boy. I know of at least two people who decided to come to the Yukon after having read that book. If you are looking for a thrilling personal account of the gold rush written by a participant, I recommend Tappan Adneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Klondike Stampede. Writing for Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine, Adney provides a journalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye-witness portrayal of the events in the early days of the gold rush. There have been plenty of gold rush books written since Klondike came out, but many are simply a rehash of the story, inspired by Bertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrative. One exception is Charlotte Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Gold Diggers, which weaves the story of the gold rush from the accounts of American miner William Haskell, saintly missionary Father William Judge, woman entrepreneur Belinda Mulrooney, British journalist Flora Shaw, the Mountiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ramrod-straight Superintendent Sam Steele, and the aspiring young writer, Jack London. Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book has successfully broken away from the mould cast by Berton. If you want to capture the pregold rush Yukon history, you should be able to find Prelude to Bonanza by Al Wright, in the public library. It is a detailed account of early white exploration of the territory before the discovery of the Klondike. Another classic work is Early Days on the Yukon by William Ogilvie, a colour-

rush, married a prominent lawyer, became involved in politics and eventually was elected to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parliament. There are many new releases, and I will only mention three of them. All are worth reading. First, there is Whitehorse: an Illustrated History by Helene Dobrowolsky and Linda Johnson. This book is the collaboration of several Yukon writers, and is the long awaited and well-illustrated overview of the history of the Yukonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. Lady on a Pedestal by Gordon Bartsch is the account of one coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s romance with commercial flying in the Yukon in the formative years, and with each other. Skull in the Ashes by Peter Kaufman is a stirring account of murder and a manhunt across the continent to the Klondike. The apprehension of the killer and the subsequent trial was a landmark case in American justice. Of all the three books you might find this the most interesting story. There you have my very brief and incomplete list of volumes you might want to curl up with this summer. I would be delighted to hear from any of my readers, who might want to share their summer book experience in Yukon history. In any case, have a happy summer, and good reading!

book is only available through the Yukon Native Language Centre at Yukon College, or the public library, but would make an excellent read. Three more First Nation histories worth looking at are Listen to the Stories: a History of the Kwanlin Dun issued by the Kwalin Dun First Nation, I was Born Under a Spruce Tree by J.J. Van Bibber, and The MacDonalds: The Lives and Legends of a Kaska Dena Family by Allison Tubman. The first of these is an illustrated history of the Kwanlin Dun people. The second is personal account of one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascinating life on the land, while the last of them is a new release of a history of a Kaska Dena family. All are well illustrated, but of the three, the photographs in Tubmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book are the largest, best reproduced and most compelling glimpses into a First Nation familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. The post gold rush history of the Yukon has not been fully chronicled, although there are a few books that might fill in the picture for you. The Gold Hustlers by Lewis Green details the history of the corporate placer gold mining that dominated the economy of the territory for the first half of the 20th century. Laura Berton wrote I Married the Klondike, a charming personal account of life in the Klondike in the decades after the turn of the century. Martha Blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s autobiography, published under various titles (My Seventy Years, My Ninety Years, Martha Black) is the story of an American woman who came to the Yukon during the gold

Inquiring minds should keep it simple life are, the inquiry doesn’t seem completely inappropriate. Could it have been worded more artfully? GENTLE READER: Yes. “How is Jane?”
by Judith Martin

MANNERS DEAR MISS MANNERS: An old friend, but one I had not kept in touch with for more than 15 years, called to say he’s visiting from the opposite coast and asked if we could get together. I was delighted to hear from him, and in the course of catching up on each other’s lives and arranging dinner, he inquired about my wife: “So are you and Jane still together?” Well, neither has left the other for an upgrade; why, just this very morning she yelled at me for giving the dog too many treats. And neither of us has been hit by the proverbial bus. So the question seemed a bit off-putting. On the other hand, given how fragile relationships and
DEAR MISS MANNERS: What is the correct way to listen to someone? My usual practice is to maintain eye contact with the speaker and respond (“I see,” “Mm-hmm,” “Interesting”), but eye contact seems to make some people uncomfortable. I have tried looking off to the
side, examining my fingernails, contemplating my drink or staring intently at an inanimate object on the desk in front of me. However, I am concerned that these techniques could mistakenly convey that I am not listening, am bored or both. GENTLE READER: Such actions will indeed be taken as an offensive lack of interest. Appearing to pay attention when someone is speaking is one of the cornerstones of real social interaction. Miss Manners wonders if the discomfort you have encountered
comes from those who have grown up interacting with their friends through a computer screen — while simultaneously checking their email, browsing for discounts and playing solitaire. Eye contact need not be maintained continuously, and it can be softened by an
accompanying smile or nod as appropriate. (Please send your questions to Miss Manners at her website, www. missmanners.com; to her email, dearmissmanners@gmail.com; or through postal mail to Miss Manners, Universal Uclick, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.)

Paddlers hit the water for 16th River Quest
Tom Patrick/Yukon News
Switzerland’s Philippe Heitz and France’s Arthur Sucker set out on the Yukon River Quest at Whitehorse’s Rotary Park on Wednesday.

A
bout 60 boats are in a race to the midnight sun. Paddlers splashed in at the start of the 16th annual Yukon River Quest at Whitehorse’s Rotary Park on Wednesday at noon. A total of 153 paddlers, including a defending champ and record holder, on 66 registered teams hit the water for the 715-kilometre race from Whitehorse to Dawson City. Thirteen countries are represented in this week’s race including Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, French Polynesia, Great Britain, Guatemala, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland. That’s four more countries than last year. “Big field from all over,” said Quest president Harry Kern. “I’m fascinated by the guys from Guatemala … It’s just fun to see them. They’re from a country that doesn’t have much water and they’re still using American Dave Hutchison makes his way across Lake Laberge.

dugout (canoes) a lot there. And they’re up here in the race, so I’m interested to see how they do.” Roslin, Ont.’s Jeff Brainard is the only paddler back to defend a title from last year. The 52-year-old won the solo canoe division last year and was 10th overall in the race. Perth, Ont.’s Gaetan Plourde is back in his solo canoe. The 40-year-old set the solo canoe record of 48 hours and 28 minutes with his win in 2010. Plourde was on the winning two-person canoe last year, placing second overall in the race. Faro’s Tim Lynch and Milton, Nova Scotia’s Dave Lewis, who were the overall winners of last year’s Quest in a tandem canoe, are not entered in this year’s race. Lynch and Lewis’s win was the first time the race wasn’t won by a voyageur canoe since 2006.

No men’s voyageur teams registered for this year’s Quest, leaving six mixed and two women’s teams. Teams are expected to begin reaching Dawson Friday. The course record is 39 hours, 32
minutes and 43 seconds set in 2008 by Team Kisseynew with a crew of four Canadians, an American and an Australian. Five teams – three solo kayaks and two tandem canoes – scratched from the race by
press time on Thursday. “Everything has seemed to have gone right,” said Kern. “It’s always a blizzard of activity and miraculously it all comes together. “It gets better every year. We
have great volunteers – especially our key people. They are just excellent. It just amazes me they just keep wanting to do it. It’s a lot of work.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

ewer walkers and runners laced up for the Mayo Midnight Marathon over the weekend than in past years. A total of 144 runners and walkers took part in the 19th annual event, down from 207 last year and its record turnout of 230 in 2012. A likely cause for the drop was a scheduling conflict with the Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay on Saturday and the Sunstroke Music Festival over the weekend in Whitehorse. “The marathon date has always been on the closest Saturday to solstice, the only years which easily gives our organizers a choice is those years it falls on a Wednesday,” said organizer Sandy Washburn in an email to the News. “That being said, we have been going over the overall participant numbers and have found that we have had high participation numbers even on years that it falls on the same weekend as the bike relay. “What has been dropping significantly over the last few years is local participants… What we are finding is that we are losing local participants and volunteers due to fatigue.” While 80 of the 144 were from Whitehorse, only three of the event’s 12 divisions were won by runners and walkers from the Yukon capital. Runners from Mayo won the same amount. Mayo’s Laura Erickson took first in the women’s half marathon, Jared Leary first in the men’s 10-kilometre and Asia Winter-Sinnott was the top female in the five-kilometre. “There has been much discussion over the 20th anniversary but nothing formalized yet,” said Washburn. “One thing we are looking at is offering a charter service for the weekend from Whitehorse with Alkan Air who have been very supportive of the marathon over the last few years.”

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.
FRIDAY 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.
