New patients always welcome.

Yukoners in the southeast of the territory should brace for continued inclement weather this weekend. As of Thursday evening, Doug Lundquist, Environment Canada’s Yukon meteorologist, said heavy rain can be expected for the next 24 to 36 hours, with the worst of it coming Friday afternoon. The heaviest rain is expected to fall along the southeast border of Yukon and Northwest Territories – with some predictions calling for as much as 100 millimetres. Backcountry users and boaters have been cautioned to be prepared for sudden rises in streams and rivers, as well as road and

trail washouts. Lundquist said the rain is the result of an upper-level low pressure system moving through the area. A similar storm recently poured heavy rain onto Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The storm is drawing air up from Alberta, Saskatchewan and even south of the border into America. Between Skagway and Whitehorse there’s a band of pressure that’s extending from the southeast corner of Yukon and then further north in an arc and then back south and into the Pacific Ocean. That’s the area that’s really going to get heavy rain, Lundquist said.

will continue to do. “We had the consultants basically on 24-hour retainer for a couple of weeks, so that adds up in a hurry,” said Nixon. Still, the issue was resolved quickly enough to allow the bridge work to proceed this year. There is only a small window when the creek is free of fish and work can be done. The crews recently completed the in-stream work, and are continuing to place the rest of the riprap, said Nixon. Highways staff and contractors have gone to great lengths to ensure the work is done in the right way, he said. “I think they all deserve some credit for the extra effort they put into making this work. We’re confident that there’s not going to be any impact to the fisheries resource.” Contact Jacqueline Ronson at jronson@yukon-news.com

As of Friday morning the South Klondike Highway was closed between Carcross and Skagway due to heavy rain and falling rocks. The rain should begin to taper off Saturday morning. June had fairly average precipitation, and was one degree cooler than usual, with the average temperature registering for the month at 11.2 degrees Celsius. The average is 12.3 C. May, though two degrees warmer than average, had more rain with an average of 23 mm compared to 16 mm. Lundquist said Yukoners should be expecting warmer than average temperatures for the rest of July and August, as air from the Gulf of Alaska continues to move into the territory. (Sam Riches)

First Nations assert land rights in wake of historic case Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

F

irst Nations are calling the governments of Yukon and Canada back to the negotiating table after a landmark Supreme Court decision establishing aboriginal title in parts of B.C. Dave Porter, chief negotiator for the Kaska Dena Council, called the Tsilhqot’in decision “one of the most significant legal decisions rendered on aboriginal jurisprudence in this country’s history.” In the decision the Supreme Court of Canada declared that the Tsilhqot’in First Nation has aboriginal title to its traditional territory. That has reinforced the responsibility of governments to consult and accommodate on decisions related to that land. “Their aboriginal rights to their traditional territories have been confirmed,” wrote Ken Coates, senior fellow with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, in a recent Troy Media column. “The basis for negotiations in British Columbia and elsewhere has shifted. First Nations have more legal authority than in the past and, like anyone else in a similar situation, they will use it to their benefit.” That’s what the Kaska Dena Council hope to do, too. The council represents three B.C.-based First Nations. Kaska traditional territory covers large swaths of southeast Yukon and northern B.C. as well as parts of the Northwest Territories. “If the Kaska continue to litigate, at the end of that process, there may very well be a declaration that the southeast Yukon is Kaska aboriginal title land,” said Porter. But the council would prefer to get what it wants outside of the courts, he said. “We’re not keen on decades more of litigation. We see this as an opportunity for the parties to

Chief Joe Aphonse of the Tl’etinqox First Nation is flanked by other chiefs while speaking during a news conference in Vancouver, after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in favour of the Tsilhqot’in First Nation, granting it land title to 438,000 hectares of land on June 26.

make best efforts to establish a negotiating table to resolve these issues. And I think that’s the way to go.” Un-treatied First Nations with territory in the Yukon have a unique legal argument that compels the Government of Canada to return to the negotiating table, said Porter. A 1870 order compels the federal government to establish treaties before taking up the land for the purpose of settlement. Much of Canada is already covered by historical and modern treaties. B.C., where much of the land is still not covered by treaty, had not yet joined Confederation in 1870. The Canadian government is therefore uniquely compelled to deal with the outstanding claims

of the Kaska Dena Council and other groups with territory in the Yukon, said Porter. The White River First Nation is one of those other groups that is in a parallel situation. It has also called on the Yukon to come back to the negotiating table in the wake of the Tsilhqot’in decision. “We look at it as a huge victory for all First Nation people, but in our current situation we see it as critical,” said Janet Vander Meer, the First Nation’s chief negotiator. “It’s a critical time for particularly the Yukon government to recognize and respect where we’re at.” White River is one of three Yukon-based First Nations that has not signed a final agreement with governments of Canada and Yukon.

Now more than ever it’s clear that was the right decision, she said. “The offerings from the government to sign on were so pathetic that I’m pleased that our nation at that time chose not to sign.” With the Supreme Court decision the First Nation is in an even better position to negotiate for rights to its traditional territory, said Vander Meer. While the First Nation is not interested in a treaty in the style of the Umbrella Final Agreement that others have signed on to, there are other agreements that would bring certainty to governments and industry, she said. The issue that White River and other unsigned First Nations have with the UFA is that it requires

First Nations to give up claims to aboriginal title across the vast majority of traditional territories in exchange for rights to a smaller parcel. In B.C. there are examples of framework documents that set out consultation responsibilities and structures for decisionmaking on land issues without relinquishing claims to aboriginal title, said Vander Meer. “What we’re saying, and what we’ve said for three solid years, is let’s have a good solid base document. It will not be a UFA treaty. But it will encompass all of the consultation requirements that they have to go through, our expectations as a First Nation, so that we can go through this stuff. We don’t want to stall everything. We want to work more on a equal footing with YG, and I think for many years now that YG has been fumbling the ball on this.” The White River First Nation recently signed an agreement with Gorilla Minerals Corp. for Class 1 exploration at its Wels gold and nickel property in western Yukon. The First Nation is very pleased that the company had the foresight to come to them even at the earliest stage of exploration, said Vander Meer. It’s the first time, to her knowledge, that a First Nation has signed an agreement regarding Class 1 work, she said. The agreement shows attention to the duty to consult established by the Tsilhqot’in case and in the 2012 Ross River appeals court decision, she said. “Good business is respecting the communities in which you operate,” wrote Scott Sheldon, president of Gorilla Minerals, in an email to the News. “The agreement is an important starting point to our relationship. It ensures transparency and creates a foundation of trust.” Contact Jacqueline Ronson at jronson@yukon-news.com

would allow immediate release of accidentally-caught chinook. Here in the Yukon, First Nations are prohibited from fishing as well. It’s the first time ever the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has shut down the aboriginal chinook harvest on the Yukon River. Despite treaty rights to harvest fish from traditional territories, Yukon First Nations have agreed to comply with the order to save the chinook. Tr’ondek Hwech’in council in Dawson City passed a resolution implementing a full closure on chinook fishing for all members until the escapement goal has

been met. “In 2003 the Canadian-origin chinook salmon run was estimated at 150,000 fish. Today, the anticipated run is between 31,000 and 61,000,” according to the news release. “Traditional knowledge informs us that the bigger chinook salmon have disappeared, migration timing is shorter than usual, and the ‘pulses’ of fish are shorter compared to healthy runs of the past. The run has been on a downward decline, and TH hopes our efforts to protect this valuable staple food source will one day bring back healthy returns.” If more than 42,500 fish cross

the border, some aboriginal harvest may be permitted. Fisheries and Oceans expects that it will be able to make a more accurate prediction on the run by the middle of the month, said Gotch. In the U.S. the run has turned out better than expected. The preseason forecast called for a return of about 60,000 to 120,000 fish, and managers were bracing for actual returns on the low end of that spectrum. As of this week 123,000 fish had entered the mouth of the river, surpassing the upper end of the predicted return. Contact Jacqueline Ronson at jronson@yukon-news.com

Bear family relocated from Copper Ridge Residents reminded to lock up garbage and compost until pick-up day Ashley Joannou News Reporter

C

onservation officers have been forced to remove a well-known black bear and her two cubs from the city after the mom started eating out of garbage bins. The sow and her cubs were spotted near Hamilton Boulevard in mid-June, munching on dandelions at the side of the road while cars whizzed by. But conservation officer Ryan Hennings said the bear recently moved from leafy greens to garbage cans in her search for food. That’s a potentially dangerous behaviour, he said. Beginning on the weekend prior to Canada Day, the officials started getting reports of a the bear going through garbage in the McIntyre, Copper Ridge and Falcon Ridge neighbourhoods. Yesterday afternoon, officers stepped in to move the family. Around 4 p.m. the bears were spotted in the backyard of a house in the Copper Ridge area. The cubs were trapped up a tree and the sow was waiting and watching from the ground, Hennings said. The sow was hit with a tranquilizer dart. One of the young cubs was captured with a net when it climbed down the tree on its own. The two bears were then placed in a “family trap� to recover. The extra-large trap is divided down the middle so the sow can be held safely on one side but still be seen by her cubs. When the second cub spotted his family, he climbed out of the tree and walked into the other half of the trap on his own, Hennings said. The bears were moved outside city limits. Hennings said the move is not anyone’s first choice, but was the

conflict,� Hennings said, and that could lead to her having to be put down – leaving the cubs orphaned. That said, moving her comes with its own risks. There’s no guarantee that the bears will survive. “By moving her she’s got to establish a new home range, compete with other bears, learn the habitat. She may move back and that’s all an added stress for her,� Hennings said. Environment Yukon is reminding the public to use a locking mechanism on garbage and compost bins or store bins inside until pick-up day. July and early August are a particularly stressful times for bears when it comes to food, Hennings said. The spring greens are beginning to dry up but the berries aren’t ripe just yet. All of the garbage cans knocked over in this latest incident were readily accessible near people’s homes. The non-profit group WildWise Yukon has been trying to encourage people to used locked garbage bins. Last year the group did a pilot project on Finch Crescent in Whitehorse. They installed 102 locks on garbage bins and compost containers. This year 50 homes were added to the project in the Wilson Drive area. The group is also selling locks for $50. The contraption fits on the current City of Whitehorse bins and holds them shut. Users have to undo a hook and eye closure before their garbage gets picked up. Wildwise was started in 2012. That’s the year conservation officers killed 16 bears that were deemed a Ian Stewart/Yukon News safety risk, with another five killed A baited bear trap is set up in Whitehorse’s Granger subdivision in 2012.

Kearns said she has no intention of resigning at this point. “If the community feels that they want me to resign over this issue then it’s obviously something I would have to consider,” she said yesterday. She said she would be talking to the employees in question, but wouldn’t say whether that conversation would include an apology. “I understood we were in-camera and it’s my understanding that when you go in-camera it becomes like your living room, it’s sort of a comfortable zone for council. So if I said something untoward, it’s because I understood we were in-camera.” Geick said the union’s contract negotiator would be in discussions with the Canada Industrial Labour Relations Board to see if there are any ramifications over what’s been said. “You enter into negotiations for collective agreements with good faith on both sides and that’s the basis of collective bargaining and that’s protected under Canadian labour law,” he said.

Give Housing First a second chance

I

t must be tough being a Yukon Party cabinet minister. So much money on hand, so few ideas with what to do with it, as evidenced by the nearly $12 million in affordable housing money that remains unspent, six years after Ottawa delivered it. The government initially planned to put this money to work to help Yukoners who aren’t eligible to stay in social housing, yet struggle to pay the rent. Then Brad Cathers announced last week he was just kidding: he actually doesn’t want to help these people, because, he has learned, this would upset landlords and realtors. Now that we’re once again back to square one, maybe it’s a good time to reflect on another opportunity wasted by this government. It’s one that would help those in the greatest need of housing. It would make the government’s claim to treating addictions as a high priority seem far less hollow. And it may ultimately even save the government money in the long run. A few years ago, a coalition of non-profits formed to push the idea of the government putting its affordable housing towards a supportive housing project for some the territory’s hardest-to-house residents. The facility would have been ran on a principle dubbed “Housing First,” in that clients would not need to kick addictions before getting roofs over their heads. At the time, the Yukon government expressed skepticism, insisting that the jury was still out. So it’s timely that a massive Canadian study produced by the Mental Health Commission of Canada was released last week that validates the Housing First approach with the scientific rigour of a randomized controlled trial. The $110-million, five-year study followed more than 2,000 participants in five cities. It concluded that Housing First clients, compared to their “treatment as usual” peers, faced substantially better odds at stabilizing their lives.

Conservative cranks will moan about how such programs are yet another ineffective hand-out. This study shows such views are flat-out wrong. Of course, whether the Yukon Party has the courage to stand up to such ignorance within its own base remains another question. The study shows that Housing First is also a sound investment, particularly when dealing with the highest-cost clients, who are often stuck on a circuit between the homeless shelter and emergency room. The study found that for every $10 spent on high-frequency clients, the government saved $9.60. (In the top 10 per cent, meanwhile, for every $10 spent, $21.72 was saved.) The study goes on to note that this “saved” money isn’t necessarily found in government coffers, as an empty hospital bed will usually be filled by somebody else. But a Housing First Program would have the potential of easing the mayhem at Whitehorse General Hospital’s emergency room, which is frequently overwhelmed by alcoholics, allowing doctors and nurses to commit more resources to other patients. It would also be doing RCMP officers and paramedics a favour, who spent too much time carting around hardcore alcoholics, at the expense of other duties. Business owners would similarly be pleased to have less riffraff on the downtown streets. And then there’s the small matter that it’s the humane, compassionate thing to do. Cabinet members will still likely be troubled by whether this is the conservative thing to do. They should remember that Stephen Harper’s Conservative federal government is on board with this approach, and is actually spending $600 million over next five years to roll out Housing First projects across Canada. Heck, maybe we could get some of that money. But that may require coming up with a plan of how to spend it. (JT) Publisher

Recently, the Yukon News gleefully reported on the establishment of a gay-straight alliance club at Vanier Catholic School, seeming thereby an unabashed sycophant of political correctness. The News lauded those students who wore rainbow socks at the school’s grad ceremony. Come on! But how can students know better when the majority of the media, so many parents and teachers, many leaders, and even some churches, no longer seem to know right from wrong? Society seems ever less concerned about the kind of healthy communities that come from a strong moral, ethical and spiritual grounding and the consequent capacity to recognize truth, discern right from wrong, and live with honour and integrity. Instead we sigh “whatever” and bow to post-modernist relativism and the self-serving “rights pushers” who only seek carte blanche to please themselves. Not surprising given that the Bible described this very situation 3,000 years ago. It is, however, astonishing that the Catholic community has remained silent and has allowed bullies to malign their bishop, school board and some staff, and affront their Catholic

contact with the enemy. This is true in all fields, especially river travel. The weather changes, headwinds come and go, the current ends up slower than hoped and stuff breaks. If the current is slower than hoped, you have to adjust your hours per day on the river. If what the map calls the “main channel” is covered with log piles, you need to go a different way. If you get soaked in frigid rain on Tagish Lake, you need to change plans and land to set up tents and get into warm clothes. You need to learn how to identify problems early, come up with options, and make effective decisions. Decisiveness. You don’t have the luxury of “analysis paralysis” on the river. The current is pushing you towards an island and you have to decide right or left. Unlike, say, that government affordable housing project whose cancellation was in the paper last week, you can’t spend six months deciding to go “left” and then change your mind to “right” at the last minute when someone shouts different advice at you. That is how you and your boat

You can’t ask the teacher for an extension on your assignment, or your boss to make your assignment a bit easier. At some points on our trip, we wondered how any of the stampeders made it to Dawson. Considering how much harder their journey was than ours, they were a constant source of wonder and inspiration. Big trips also teach you about human dynamics.

Dippers respond to Leef Conservative MP Ryan Leef would like to have Yukoners think that the NDP was embroiled in some kind of scandal when it used addressed mail to connect with Canadians as part of an outreach program. The truth is that before launching the mailing program, Official Opposition staffers verified the mailings with House of Commons administration. The party observed due diligence to confirm that the mailing program followed all applicable rules and Elections Canada has since confirmed that the actions of the NDP respected the law. Despite all of this, Conservative and Liberal members of the House of Commons Board of Internal Economy decided not to let the facts get in the way of an opportunity to take a political swipe at the NDP. In a closed door process, without due process or an opportunity to review the “evidence,” the old line parties got together in an attempt to smear the only major party that actually intends to implement a new and transparent politics when we form government in Ottawa. It’s a perfect example of when partisan politics prevails over common sense. If Mr. Leef is truly concerned about scandal in Ottawa, we encourage him to spend his remaining days in office trying to hold his own Conservative Party of Canada to account for its lingering scandals. In case he has forgotten, these include the Mike Duffy/Nigel Wright affair, the Senate expense scandal, the robocall scandal, the F35 fighter jet scandal, or the scandalous millions his party has

People have recognized the value of Yukon River-type experience for a long time. Lord BadenPowell made it a big part of the scouting movement a century ago. I know some successful businesspeople who believe their early careers as junior officers leading teams under pressure in their nation’s army or navy helped their business careers enormously.

More importantly, this system (like any) is a collection of people, in this case health-care professionals. Many of the people we came across (that came across us) during our recent days in the hospital were known to us already; some are our friends and neighbours. They were so helpful in our moments of fear. And some were new to us and our daughter Jessie. We were so well cared for by these people, some who are also busy caring for their own families (little ones at home too). Thank you to the nurses and doctors, Keith, Claire and Jess in particular; those that sheltered and fed us, kept our rooms clean, those that administer and the many others who helped us back toward health. We have a deep feeling of appreciation for what we have here in the Yukon in terms of facilities, technology, medicines, access to information and especially our people. Thank you all.

221 of them were recommended by the advisory committees, according to data from the Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs Canada. Of those, only 43 – 19 per cent – were appointed. Are the Conservatives really doing a better job appointing women than men? No, said Crandall. The number of women in the legal profession has been growing steadily over the past 20 years, increasing the number of would-be applicants, she noted. “With the Liberal government over the years, federal court appointments at the provincial level were at a rate of 35 per cent,� while under the Conservatives, the rate has slipped to 32 per cent, she said. “So if our goal is to reach parity, then we’re not going in the right direction.� MacKay’s heralding of the 17 per cent increase over the Liberals is almost meaningless without additional data, Dodek added. “That could be as a result of more women being appointed to the bench, or it could be a result simply of attrition and far more men retiring from the bench than women. In the absence of statistics, it’s hard to say.�

Both Crandall and Dodek noted that a key figure – the number of female applicants – is missing from the equation. Crandall rated MacKay’s statements as containing “some baloney.� While it may be true that female appointments under the Conservatives have increased 17 per cent, it implies the Tories have done better than the Liberals, she said. “This is not the case. The Liberals from 1993 to 2006 appointed women at a higher rate than the current government.�

justice, for example, has been growing steadily over the last two decades. “In Ontario in 2012 – the last year we have statistics for – women made up 58 per cent of the applicants,� said Erin Crandall, an academic at Queen’s University who has been charting the data federally and provincially. “To suggest that women aren’t applying for these jobs seems highly implausible, because they’re forwarding large groups to the minister for consideration.� The work, independence and tenure of federally and provincially appointed judges are essentially the same, said Adam Dodek, a University of Ottawa law professor. Indeed, federally appointed judges earn “significantly more� money, Dodek said. “So the idea that fewer people might apply for a job that pays better is somewhat counter-intuitive.� MacKay has suggested the committees, made up of representatives from across the country, are not recommending female applicants. But the federal government still has considerable discretion over who it appoints to the bench. There were 515 applications submitted for consideration between November 2011 and October 2012;

Federal justice ministers usually appoint judges based on those recommendations, but are not obliged to do so. Some can be dismissed due to red flags, such as concerns about a candidate’s party affiliation.

Ontario, for example, publicly discloses the gender of applicants, and the data suggests many women are indeed applying.

The roughly 500 NDP staffers on Parliament Hill and in MPs’ constituency offices, who had belonged to the CEP, became members of Local 232 of Unifor. Local president Anthony Salloum did not want to make any immediate comments. But other staffers, who were not authorized to speak on the matter publicly, privately said there’d been uneasiness about their new alliance with former auto workers from the outset. The CAW had infuriated New Democrats by endorsing Paul Martin’s Liberals in the 2006 federal election, in a failed bid to stop Harper from becoming prime minister. Dias acknowledged that the merger set off “a lot of alarm bells� among the staffers, who began several months ago to explore alternative unions to represent them. That came to a head after the Ontario election, which saw Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals re-elected as the PC vote collapsed. “Obviously, there was some animosity after the last provincial election because of our position on strategic voting and, like I said, I’m fine with that,� said Dias, who added

Secret U.S. memo suggests no legal basis to charge Omar Khadr with war crimes Colin Perkel

In Khadr’s case, the Pentagon maintained that as an unprivileged belligerent, Khadr had violated the “U.S. common law of warâ€? dating back to the Civil War in taking up hostilities against American forces. However, the comprehensive legal analysis in the CIA case makes no mention of any such body of law. “The whole purpose‌was to evaluate whether the CIA agents were violating the law,â€? Morison said. “The only reasonable interpretation of that analysis is that there

It is unclear whether Khadr’s prosecutors knew about the CIA drone memo, which was not disclosed to his lawyers or the military commission trial judge. “They didn’t tell the court that they had a definitive and authoritative legal opinion from the Dept. of Justice that blew their theory of the case out of the water,� Morison said. “That’s unethical.� Khadr, who has said he only pleaded guilty to get out of Guantanamo, is currently serving out his sentence in an Alberta prison. Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney, who has repeatedly branded Khadr a hardened, dangerous terrorist and pledged to fight any attempt to lessen his punishment, would not comment on the memo.

Smith said that under Australia’s leadership the G20 is staking its future on getting full buy-in of a key goal: two per cent economic growth over current projections over the next five years. “What it does, paradoxically, is it raises the cost of failure but in a way that really forces all of us to raise our level of ambition,� said Smith. “It highlights the credibility of the G20,� she added. “By putting a numeric target, saying we politically commit to raising growth by two per cent over five years over current projections, we’re setting ourselves as saying we must deliver on this.� Prime Minister Stephen Harper is to attend the November summit.

controlled provincial capital of Deir el-Zour to the northwest. Led by an ambitious Iraqi militant known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant this week unilaterally declared the establishment of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in the lands it has seized in northeastern Syria and northern Iraq. It also proclaimed al-Baghdadi the head of its new self-styled state governed by Shariah law and demanded that all Muslims pledge allegiance to him. The new developments effectively expand and consolidate areas held by the group – which has shorted its name to the Islamic State – in territory straddling the border between the two conflict-ridden countries. The majority of significant Syrian rebel groups that have been fighting to overthrow President Bashar Assad have rejected Baghdadi’s declaration. The rebel groups, including the al-Qaidalinked Nusra Front, have fought the extremist group since the beginning of the year. Nearly 7,000 people, mostly fighters, have died in the infighting. However, Nusra Front appears to be losing the war within a war

in Syria as fighters allied with powerful tribes in eastern Syria defect to al-Baghdadi’s group. On Thursday, a video posted online by activists showed a man in the town of Sheheil, a Nusra Front stronghold, reading a statement, saying: “We have decided to declare our allegiance to the Islamic State and the Caliph of the Muslims, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.” Another video showed what appeared to be fighters in the nearby Ishara village, announcing that they were ceasing their fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. “The clans of the city of Ishara, and the villages around it … and all of the factions in these areas … announce before God that they will cease fighting with the Islamic State,” a man says, reading from a statement as he stands in a courtyard with several other tribal elders. The videos appeared to be genuine and matched AP reporting from the area. The Deir el-Zour Coordination Committees, a collective of activists in the area, confirmed that militants had entered the town of Mayadeen and Ishara after other rebel fighters withdrew.

Rami Abdurrahman, director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said some Nusra fighters were still clashing with their rivals at the outskirts of Sheheil Thursday, but added that the al-Qaidalinked group appears close to collapse. Led by a Syrian known as Abu Muhammed al-Golani, the Nusra Front is al-Qaida’s official branch in Syria and was declared a terrorist group by the United States. Its fighters have been one of the most effective forces against Assad’s troops, and have carried out suicide bombings targeting government forces in Syria’s major cities, including the capital Damascus. Syria’s uprising began in March 2011 as largely peaceful demonstrations against President Bashar Assad’s rule. It escalated into an armed revolt after some opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown on dissent. It then turned into a civil war that has claimed more than 160,000 lives, about a third of them civilians, according to opposition activists. The conflict has displaced nearly a third of Syria’s population of 23 million.

Riding for reading The Yukon Literacy Coalition is using pedal power to give away free books Sam Riches News Reporter

A

small bike company in Portland, Oregon, is helping the Yukon Literacy Coalition deliver books to the communities. Staff of the coalition are spending part of their summer cycling around the territory on a hand-built bike by Icicle Tricycles. The company originally began building the bikes for merchants that filled the boxes with popsicles, or ice cream, or coffee. The version of the bike that calls Whitehorse home carries a different product: books. Emma Hanes is one of the employees who can be found behind the book bike. “We wanted to have the opportunity to take our programming into the communities, and we try to take it as far as we can,� she said, sitting on the bike in the mid-day sun in downtown Whitehorse. “On a typical day people come up to us and wonder what we are doing.� The bike functions not only as distribution point for books but a chance for staff members like Hanes to speak with locals and give them more information about the coalition and the summer and yearround programs available. The staff will often change the book selection based on the events they are attending but typically you can find a range of everything from young fiction to history texts. At the Canada Games Centre, there’s the family literacy centre. Downtown, on the banks of the Yukon River, programs are run out of the Pioneer Hotel in Shipyards Park. There’s also a reading wall tent that the coalition takes into the communities. All of the programming is free and open to anyone who wants to participate. On Wednesdays, the book bike is ridden to Arts in the Park, where books that have been donated by the community are redistributed. The book bike is now in its third summer and Hanes said its success is due to a “huge community effort.� “It’s become quite recognizable for what it’s become,� she said. The bike can carry in the range of 200 books, which makes pedaling a bit cumbersome but nothing the dedicated staff can’t handle. “It’s a nice workout and it’s just nice to see so many people and kids get so excited about it. They’re surprised to know there are free books.� The book bike travelled from Portland to Skagway on the Alaska State Ferry and then by pick-up truck to Whitehorse. Since it’s arrival, it’s appeared in the Canada Day Parade as well as the Pride Parade. If you’re interested in donating to the programs, there are receptacles placed around town for book

NHL all-star shares story of overcoming addiction, abuse Sam Riches News Reporter

O

n Wednesday night in Whitehorse, Theo Fleury walked onto the stage at the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre and delivered a message of hope and perseverance. He moved in short, fast steps, a reminder of the way he used to glide across the ice during his 15-year NHL career. The crowd kept their eyes locked on, their attention seized, the air silent and still, except for the rasp of Fleury’s weathered voice. At 46, his playing days are behind him, the machinery of professional sports having chewed him up and spat him out long ago. As a player, he was known for his gritty, dramatic style of play. Now he’s still capturing the crowd in the early stages of a new career; he refers to himself as a healing motivator. He spends 200 days a year on the road and speaks at more than 75 events. Since the release of his best-selling autobiography, Playing with Fire, he’s visited 85 First Nation communities across Canada. Whitehorse marks stop number 86. Fleury spoke highly of his Metis heritage. In a media conference before his keynote speech, he told the room that “it’s a damn shame there are less than 10 First Nation players in the NHL.” “I go to the communities. I see the talent that is out there. The NHL doesn’t have a clue,” he said. Fleury grew up in a small town in Manitoba and bounced around the prairies before being whisked away to Winnipeg at the age of 15 to focus on his burgeoning hockey career. In Winnipeg, at the hands of the coach who moved him there, the same coach who had sat at his family’s kitchen table and told them that moving to Winnipeg was necessary to improve Fleury’s chances of making the NHL, the sexual abuse began. Alcoholism followed shortly after. Drug addiction after that. When Fleury first stepped onto the ice at age five, with Sears catalogues taped around his legs as pads, his parents weren’t there. His father was an alcoholic. His mother was addicted to prescription drugs. With no family watching on, he fell in love with the game. That love deepened as he grew older, and while it didn’t heal him, hockey became an escape. “Playing hockey meant everything to my life,” he said. “It meant everything.” Over his 15-year professional career, Fleury ran the gamut in accomplishments – he was an NHL

all-star, a Stanley Cup champion, and gold-medal winning Olympian. But for all his feats on the ice, away from the game he fell deeper into a spiral of addiction and selfhatred. When he had his first drink, at age 15, he said he became an instant alcoholic. He didn’t know how to identify his feelings, but after discovering alcohol, he knew how to make them go away. “On the ice I knew who I was,

when I left the rink I had no clue,” he said. Near the tail end of his NHL career, while living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and preparing for the upcoming season with the Chicago Blackhawks, he hit the stop button on the treadmill and decided he’d had enough. “I didn’t want to play hockey anymore,” he said. He didn’t call the Blackhawks organization. He didn’t call his agent. He just left. After crash-

ing into the league, flying up and down the ice as a haywire sparkplug of high-sticks and crosschecks and goals, he faded out, in silence. From there, his addictions worsened. He would spend $3,500 a week on cocaine, draining bottle after bottle, staying up for eight days in a row. “I’d lived most of my life in emotional pain. I could heal from

the physical stuff. The broken bones, the scars, the stitches. But you can’t go to the doctor and say, ‘Can you write me a script for sexual abuse?’ The only way to get out of it was ending my life.” Fleury drove to a local pawn shop with $5,000 in hand – he said he never left the house with less than that because he didn’t know where the day would take him after that first drink. He bought a gun, went home, drank a glass of vodka and put the barrel of the gun in his mouth. “I remember it rattling against my teeth,” he said. “I remember what it tasted like.” He stayed there for a moment, before ripping the gun down and throwing it into the desert. Two weeks later he got a call from his oldest son, Josh, who was 15 at the time, asking him to come home. It had been more than six months since Fleury had been in touch with his family. He put his house up for sale and moved back to Calgary. It was a step in the right direction, but he wasn’t yet ready to be father. “I couldn’t have been a worse example for my son,” he said. He found himself, one night, crying on the bathroom floor, thinking to himself, “I can’t drink enough. I can’t snort enough. Nothing’s working anymore.” For most of his life, he couldn’t look in a mirror. He said he couldn’t even sit in a chair, he was too uncomfortable in his own skin. Eventually, he began playing hockey again. Then he met a woman he fell in love with, and on September 18, 2005, he caught a glance of himself in the mirror and held the stare. He’s been sober ever since. He started to put his story into words, and in 2009, when his book came out, he flew to Toronto for a signing. More than 400 people showed up, but one man stood out in the crowd. He was hunched over, head down, moving forward in small, shuffled steps. When he got to the table, he put the book down, looked Fleury in eyes and said, “me too.” Since then, more than 500,000 people have reached out to Fleury with their own stories of abuse. The gritty, tough-nosed hockey player has become a touchstone for those who have had their own lives turned upside-down by abuse. It’s a role he’s embraced. “I’ve found a purpose for my life,” he said. “Sexual abuse is the biggest epidemic on this planet.” “I found something greater than myself and I can sleep now at night – that’s my miracle.” Contact Sam Riches at sam@yukon-news.com

It was designed to give Ceili and 40 other dogs a head start on a healthier life, said Debora Montgomery, the New Jersey facility’s spokeswoman. Wonder how you get a dog to do a downward dog? You wouldn’t even recognize that yoga pose in the canine version. “Doga� and “pawlates� are a lot alike – both are about stretching while building strength, balance and flexibility.

and decreased life expectancy, just like obese people, he said. Most luxury pet hotels and spas nationwide will customize a fitness program for a pudgy dog or cat, but only a few facilities have fat camps for large groups. For golden retriever Ceili, it was easy to fatten up when living with a boy who pushed tasty morsels over the edge of his high chair. The extra weight led Eileen Bowers of Bedminster, New Jersey, to sign up the more than 100-pound pooch for a fiveday fitness camp last month at Morris Animal Inn.

YUKON – Applications are now being accepted by the Holland America Line Inc. Community Advisory Board (CAB) for grants to local service and non-profit groups in the Yukon. The CAB is comprised of Yukon civic and business leaders who advise Holland America Line Inc. on local corporate contributions and community involvement projects. The Yukon CAB will be making decisions about grant applications at its next meeting in September of 2014. Applications can be picked up at the Westmark Whitehorse Hotel and should be mailed to Kathy Newman, Holland America Line, Inc., 745 W 4th Avenue #400, Anchorage, AK., 99501. They may also be faxed to: (907) 264-8026. Applications are due in Anchorage no later than the close of business on Friday, August 15, 2014. For more information on the Holland America Line Inc. community relations program, contact Kathy Newman at (907) 264-8028 or e-mail knewman@hollandamerica.com Holland America Line Inc. is the oldest cruise and tour company in Alaska. The company has thirteen luxury cruise ships that sail throughout the world, seven of which are committed to the Alaska market between May and September.

game varies from its human inspiration: A staffer will shout “barko� and whichever dog-paddling pooch yelps first gets a toy. In all activities, “the dogs work for their meals. We praise and make the sessions fun and interactive,� Montgomery said. After the cardio come the doggie facials: a cleansing massage that wipes away organic food crumbs and exercise-induced slobber. Bowers started sending her dog to the Morris facility months ago when Ceili hit 126 pounds. Usually, female golden retrievers weigh between 55 and 70 pounds, Montgomery said. Ceili got down to 118 but went to camp to lose more. “We want her to be around for a long time,� Bowers said, adding that her 2-year-old son is more interested in running than throwing food these days. Those extra treats are a culprit in canine obesity rates, besides a lack of exercise, Ward said. Over 80 per cent of owners give dogs two or more snacks a day. He compared the rising problem to the same trend in kids. “Children and cats and dogs don’t feed themselves,� Ward said. “We treat our pets like children.� The facilities help pet owners too busy for long walks or unable to afford a swimming pool or treadmill. Morris Animal Inn charges $59 a day or $249 for five days with all the amenities. It has offered two or three camps a year since 2009. But as programs have cropped up to meet demand, so have slick imitators that compromise safety for quick cash. Before sending a pet to a fat farm or boarding facility, do some research to ensure they are legitimate, Ward warned. “Safety is more important when you are dealing with an overweight pet because they are more prone to injury and distress than a leaner, fitter pet,� he said.

insects and are undeniably great at killing pests like aphids and grubs. Unlike traditional pesticides, neonics are “systemic pesticides� that are most often applied to seeds and roots so the chemical becomes incorporated into the plants’ leaves, pollen, nectar, fruit and flowers. According to the Task Force, “Neonics impact all species that chew a plant, sip its sap, drink its nectar, eat its pollen or fruit� and can remain toxic for weeks or months – even years. The impacts cascade through ecosystems, weakening their stability. As nerve poisons, they can kill targeted and non-targeted species and can cause “impaired sense of smell or memory; reduced fecundity; altered feeding behaviour and reduced food intake including reduced foraging in bees; altered tunneling behaviour in earthworms; difficulty in flight and increased susceptibility to disease.� There’s also evidence they can harm human health, especially in infants. Neonics make up about 40 per cent of the world insecticide market, with global sales of US$2.63 billion in 2011 – and growing.

That may explain why, despite increasing evidence that they’re harmful, there’s been such strong resistance to phasing them out or banning them. After experts concluded in 2013 that neonics pose an unacceptable risk to bees, the European Union imposed a temporary ban on the use of three neonics in applications that are particularly hazardous to bees – despite fierce opposition from the agrochemical industry and several governments. At the same time, Canada re-approved clothianidin, one of the chemicals banned in Europe. In the face of conclusive findings from hundreds of studies, industry reaction has been astounding. “There is very little credible evidence that these things are causing untoward damage because we would have seen them over 20 years of use,� said Julian Little, spokesperson for neonicotinoid manufacturer Bayer. Canadian agricultural pest control trade association CropLife Canada also rejected the science, blaming bee deaths on varroa mites, another serious threat to honeybees. And even though

Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency confirmed neonics used on corn seed contributed to bee die-offs in Ontario and Quebec, federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose has so far rejected a ban, saying her department’s research is “inconclusive.� What will it take to get governments and industry to put people – and pollinators – before profits? Around the world, concerned individuals and organizations are calling on decision-makers to get serious about this threat. At writing, more than 27,000 have signed a David Suzuki Foundation action alert asking federal and provincial governments to ban the use and sale of neonics. It’s the government’s duty to protect us from potentially harmful chemicals. With neonics, the science is clear: they’re unsafe. Researchers say “there is clear evidence of harm sufficient to trigger regulatory action.� They’re calling them “the new DDT�. It’s time to ban these harmful pesticides.

Number of Alaska glaciers is everchanging by Ned Rozell

ALASKA

SCIENCE

A

glaciologist once wrote that the number of glaciers in Alaska “is estimated at greater than 100,000.” That fuzzy number, perhaps written in passive voice for a reason, might be correct. But it depends upon how you count. Another glaciologist saw an example of the confusion when he visited Yakutat Glacier. Yakutat, near the Alaska town of the same name, is a withering glacier that calves into a deep lake of its own making. As it dies, Yakutat Glacier will increase the number of glaciers in Alaska. And it won’t take long, said Martin Truffer of the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The glacier is melting so fast it is fragmenting into smaller bodies of ice. “You get into that paradoxical situation where a glacier is retreating and you get more glaciers,” Truffer said. His colleague Regine Hock pointed out a similar situation when pondering a request from a magazine reporter on the number of Alaska glaciers. “Because of climate warming, the

number of glaciers in Germany has increased over the last decades by several hundred percent,” she wrote in an e-mail. “There were less than a handful of glaciers in the 1990s; now there are more because these two have fallen apart into mini glaciers.” Another problem in counting

Alaska”s glaciers arises from the varied names people have assigned to them over the years. “In Bagley Icefield, it’s really crazy,” Truffer said, referring to a mass of ice where the Southeast panhandle meets the rest of Alaska. “There’s all these different names.

Where you separate them, that’s a subjective choice.” “(Mapmakers) tend to give different names to several branches of an ice mass, all of which, by our more scientific definition, form part of a single glacier,” said the Geophysical Institute’s Anthony Arendt. “There

Alpine’s Bra

are many cases where two glaciers flow from different accumulation areas and merge into a single ice mass at the terminus. The Agassiz and Malaspina glaciers are good examples of this.” “What most people usually see is the very lowest part of a glacier, the glacier tongue coming down a valley,” Hock said. “So, this is one glacier. You drive around the next corner and see another glacier flowing down another valley. So you would think this is two glaciers. However, if you flew over the ice mass you would see that both glaciers are actually connected in a large ice field. “The basic problem is that ice often is connected high up but then flows into individual valleys,” Hock said. “That’s one reason why the number of glaciers is a pretty meaningless number and impossible to determine accurately; what counts is the total area.” In a piece he wrote for the journal Science, Arendt estimated the total area of Alaska’s glaciers at about 88,000 square kilometres of ice. To put that figure in perspective, that much blue ice would cover the entire state of Maine. Since the late 1970s, the director of the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has supported the writing and free distribution of this column to news media outlets. 2014 is Ned Rozell’s 20th year as a science writer for the Geophysical Institute.

older women – it calls attention to the woman’s age. Yesterday, a younger friend of mine was devastated because some clerk called her “Mama� for the first time. Do you have a better retort than a very stern “I am not your mama�? And will you please tell your readers to stop doing this? GENTLE READER: What happened to “Ma’am� is that the age factor was injected into it from the recipient’s side. Those who apparently consider it reprehensible to grow older, even as they are doing so, took it as an insult, rather than the indication of respect it actually is. (Royal females are correctly addressed as “Ma’am,� whatever their age.) In contrast, flinging around the hallowed terms denoting motherhood is disrespectful, Miss Manners agrees. Her own dear mother used a softer version of your retort to strangers, which she offers to you: “Surely if I were your mother, I would have remembered you.� (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.)

Jessica Frotten becomes a national champion

W

hitehorse’s Jessica Frotten is at the top of her sport in Canada. To close out just her second competitive season, the 26-year-old won two gold in para wheelchair racing at the 2014 Canadian Track and Field Championships over the weekend in Moncton, N.B. “I am the fastest T53 Canadian woman right now,” said Frotten. “It was awesome. I didn’t have any PBs (personal bests) but it was such a great experience to see all those athletes. All the Commonwealth (Games) athletes were there, it was really cool.” Frotten sped to gold medals in the 800-metre with a time of 2:21.33 and the 200-metre

at 35.51 seconds. In both events she beat Quebec’s Sarah White, who won a gold and three silver at last year’s championship. The two have crossed paths before. White won three gold at the Canada Summer Games last August in Sherbrooke, Que., while Frotten claimed bronze in the same races. “I’ve been training really hard and I’m really happy with all my results,” said Frotten. “Just to beat Sarah – she was top in Canada last year – that really shows how much I have improved. All my early mornings and long training days paid off.” Frotten also raced to silver in the 400-metre with a time of 1:08.76 in Moncton. However, Frotten was the top T53 racer in the event.

“I got two gold and a silver because they ran all the classes together,” said Frotten. She also tied four fourth in the 100-metre at 20.32, less than a second from another medal. “I’m working on my starts, that’s where they get me,” said Frotten. “I can make up time in the race, but everybody gets me off the start. “It’s all about the start in that one.” “Just being there with all the other athletes – it was an incredible atmosphere,” she added. “Able-bodied people were also there – a lot of Olympians – and everyone is just chiseled. They look like they are cut from stone, Photoshopped or something.” Frotten qualified for the nationals during a product-

ive season that took her to Arizona and as far away as Switzerland. Frotten set her first qualifying time for nationals with a fourth place finish at the Desert Challenge Games in Mesa, Arizona, in May. A week later she was back at setting qualifying times at the 41st Swiss Open Nationals in Nottwil and then the Daniela Jutzeler Memorial in Nottwil, Switzerland. At the latter she claimed her first international medal with a bronze in the 200-metre in the T53 division with a personal best time of 34.41. “That’s it for my season now. There’s a five-kilometre on Parliament Hill in October that I might do, but I’m actually driving to Whitehorse tomorrow,” said Frotten from

Regina on Wednesday. “I can’t wait to have a little down time in Whitehorse.” Whitehorse distance runner Lindsay Carson qualified to compete at the national championships but withdrew from the competition due to injury. “Next season is a big season. There are Parapans (American Games) in Toronto and there’s also worlds,” said Frotten. “Hopefully with my performances at the nationals and through the season I can get developmentally carded, get onto Team Canada that way. “I haven’t made any of the senior carding standards … But I’m really going to push to make worlds and the Para Pans. And, yah, infinity and beyond.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

New daddy Zach Bell dropped from lead pack at nationals Tom Patrick News Reporter

Z

ach Bell has a lot going on these days. The Watson Lake cyclist is going to the Commonwealth Games, just competed at the nationals and has a new addition to the family. Bell and wife Rebecca welcomed daughter Lucy on June 18. “Everybody’s good. She’s grown already and is up above her birth weight – all good things,” said Bell. “Mom is doing good and is getting in the groove of being mom. But she’s fine. Everything went smooth and everyone is getting on with life.” Barely a week and a half after Lucy arrived, Bell was racing for a national road race title. However, Bell was dropped from the lead pack late in the race and did not finish at the Canadian Road Championships in Lac-Megantic, Que., on Saturday. “Where I am in my career, I’m in it for the win or I’m not in it anymore,” said Bell. “I got dropped with a couple laps to go from the lead group of about 10 guys. I definitely could have ridden it in for a top 10 placing, but for me that doesn’t really mean anything. Once I wasn’t in it to win it I pulled out.” Bell, who won the national road title last year, forwent the time trial

was just too soon after the baby (for the other events).” While Bell came away with a DNF, teams on his professional North Carolina-based Team SmartStop had strong results. SmartStop teammate Svein Tuft took first place in the road race and in the time trial at the championships. Teammate Kris Dahl rode to first in the time trial in the under-23 division. Bell has been riding for SmartStop since early March but the season is only getting warmed up. The two-time Olympian will compete at his third Commonwealth Games beginning at the end of month. Bell is slated to compete in both road and track for Team Canada at the quadrennial event in Glasgow, Scotland. “That’s kind of been a bit more of a focus,” said Bell. “The road race at nationals went pretty well considering – I was able to make that front group – I just didn’t have the legs after the injury and baby and stuff. The focus has been on the later half of the season anyway.” Bell won a bronze medal in the scratch race at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. He took in a fifth place finish at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia. Bell hasn’t done much track as of late, but a lack of practice didn’t hinder much at last year’s track nationals. He won gold in the omnium event at the 2013 Canadian Track Championships last September in what was his first time back on the track since the 2012 London Olympics. “I’ve done a couple training camps with the team that’s going, so I’ve been on (the track) but not tons,” said Bell. “Obviously I’ve been focusing on the road with my road team this year.” Bell is one of two Yukon athletes – two Watson Lake athletes – named to Canada’s Commonwealth Games team. Brittanee Laverdure was named to Team Canada’s wrestling team, Wrestling Canada Lutte announced at the start of June. “I’m excited because I haven’t actually done a Games,” Laverdure told the News shortly after the announcement. “I’ve done lots of championships like the Pan Am championships, but I haven’t done Pan Am Games. “I’m not planning to be around four more years, so I’m excited,” added the 32-year-old. Bell leaves this weekend for a training camp in the Netherlands in preparation for the Games. “I’d like to say thanks to all the people up there that supported us through our rough road over the last few years,” said Bell, who’s son Paxton Michael Bell died a few days after birth in October of 2012. “We’re pretty happy to have a little one now … It’s been a hard journey for us, but we’ve had people behind us, both in Vancouver and up north. It’s given us the strength to carry on get to where we are, which is a happy place again.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Yukoners bag seven medals at Kelowna track meet Tom Patrick News Reporter

Y

ukoners winning hardware at the Jack Brow Memorial Track and Field Meet is nothing new, but one of the medals came from unexplored territory on Saturday. Whitehorse’s Levi Johnson pocketed gold in the hammer throw for men 16-17, for one of seven medals won by Team Yukon at the annual meet in Kelowna, B.C. Johnson is the first Yukoner to compete in hammer throw at Jack Brow and conversely the first to win gold in it. “It’s all about technique,” said Johnson. “To be honest, I had six throws and I threw out of bounds in three of them. I only landed three, but I’d do it again. It was fun.” Johnson sent the hammer 34.47 metres down field, surpassing the silver medalist, Australian Sam Hutchinson, by over 14 metres. “Levi’s performance was a Yukon record,” said Yukon coach Don White. “There’s no facility here, no equipment. We put him into the cage on Friday and let him try it. “He really needs a lot of work in his form,” he added with a chuckle, “but he was good enough to actually medal.” Johnson collected two other medals in the same division. He won silver in the shot put with a throw of 13.17 metres and bronze in the discus with a toss of 35.41 metres. “Part of (the team’s success) is the athletes that came out. Part of it, in the case of Levi, he’s one of the kids in the F.H. Collins sport school (program), and he ended up getting a fair amount of basic training, strength training and a few other things over the school year,” said White. “That translated into his performance.” Anyone familiar with the athletic abilities of Yukon’s Dominic Korn would not be surprised he made a few trips up the podium. Korn won two gold and a bronze. “Dominic Korn is just an outstanding natural athlete,” said White. “All we had to do with him is work a little on his start.” Korn won gold in the 100-metre dash for men 18-19, crossing the line with a personal best time of 11.27 seconds. “It may be the fastest electronic time of any Yukon athlete in the 100 metres,” said White. (Athletics Yukon does not currently have an official record book.) Korn also leapt to gold in the long jump at 6.12 metres and tied for bronze in the 200-metre dash at 23.59 seconds. Korn won three medals while competing at the Nike High School Grand Prix in Toronto two months ago. “Dominic is unreal,” said Johnson. “All of my teammates did very well … But Dominic stood out – he crushed it. “He shows up always with a great attitude, tries to do his best and he does.” Whitehorse’s Janet Clarke notched a medal win in the masters side of the meet. Clarke won gold in the

The skate comp was hosted by the youth group B.Y.T.E (Bringing Youth Towards Equality) and the Skate For Life Alliance, a nonprofit group formed last August trying to raise $500,000 to give Second Haven a facelift. “It’s a huge goal, a huge product,” said Alison Furniss, outreach co-ordinator for B.Y.T.E. “But this skate park is really important to this community. It’s used so much and the young people that come here are athletes – skateboarders are athletes, just like any other sport. “It’s a really safe space for our community and really needs an upgrade. A lot of these ramps and stuff have holes, everything is really worn down. When it was built over 20 years ago it was meant to be temporary.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

PUZZLE PAGE

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.
