he Yukon’s stand-alone temporary foreign worker program is on its way out the door. The one-year pilot project, which launched on August 1, 2013, will not be renewed by the federal government. The stand-alone program differs from the national temporary foreign worker program and also the Yukon Nominee Program. Its mandate was to bring short-term workers into the territory for no longer than 12 months. The nominee program is for foreign workers seeking permanent residency. Each of the programs are federal but administered by the Yukon government. The stand-alone program was launched to combat labour needs in the tourism and hospitality, oil and gas, mineral exploration and mining sectors. Employers were not able to extend their offers to temporary foreign workers until jobs had been advertised to Canadians for four weeks. Rick Karp, president of the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce, was the first employer to put in an application for the pilot program and brought in one worker to Hair Sensations, a business he owns with his wife. He expressed concern about the scuttling of the pilot project and changes to the federal temporary foreign workers program. At Hair Sensations, seven of the eight employees are foreign workers. “In Yukon, in the North in general, immigration is a key component to filling vacant jobs,” he said. “Especially as we move forward into a time when mining activities are going to come back and tourism is going to grow, retail sales and construction and everything else will grow as well. It all works together.” Karp said he expects that growth to occur in the next two to five years. But not everyone sees the end of the program as bad news. “We believe this is a good day for workers in the Yukon,” said Vikki Quocksister, president of the Yukon Federation of Labour. “Overall the temporary foreign worker program in the Yukon and all of Canada, it creates a slave labour position, in that the workers coming in have no rights and they are tied to their employer. We’re not for it at all.” Quocksister acknowledged that unlike other Canadian jurisdictions, the Yukon program worked closely with the Yukon

Minister of Education Elaine Taylor.

Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board to ensure compliance with the program. Yukon was the first in Canada to take those measures. Quocksister hopes the workers that have been brought into the territory through the program will be able to switch over to the nominee program and maintains that the temporary foreign worker program “isn’t necessary.” “I’m still calling for the federal program to be trashed,” she said. “I think we can come up with something better for workers.” The nominee program, which launched in 2006, has brought about 700 workers into Yukon. The program allows the Yukon government to nominate potential migrants based on economic priorities, labour market conditions, and assess candidates that have a strong likelihood of “successfully establishing themselves in Yukon society.” The growth of the federal temporary foreign worker program in Yukon has been steady since 2008, when it brought in 234 workers. It peaked in 2011, with 271 temporary workers. That number fell to 256 in 2012, according to Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Last month, the federal government announced nationwide changes to the temporary foreign worker program, which has resulted in backlash from the business community across the country. The reforms hike processing fees for employers, shorten work contracts and also place a cap on the percentage of immigrant workers a business can employ and the total number of hours they can work. Despite the protest of the business community, Canada’s labour shortage may be less severe than government statistics indicate, according to the C. D.

Howe Institute. Speaking from Prince Edward Island on Tuesday afternoon, Elaine Taylor said the Yukon government learned the stand-alone program would not be renewed when the announcements concerning the federal program were made. Taylor is currently attending a meeting with federal, territorial and provincially elected officials in regards to temporary foreign worker program. She said the territorial government is seeking clarity about what the changes mean for the Yukon but said they won’t affect the nominee program. The Yukon government can continue to receive applications for the TFWP until the end of the month and all permits already issued will be honoured until their closing date. Taylor said the government had approved 20 applicants so far. Federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said they made changes to the national program to discourage abuse by employers, particularly in the food services sector, but Taylor said the Yukon government hadn’t received any complaints. “There were a number of fundamental differences between our own program and the federal program,” she said. “We had on-site monitoring by the Department of Education and the Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board, just to help ensure compliance and prevent program misuse.” Taylor said they will work with the federal government to create a new arrangement that’s a “better fit.” “What that looks like, we’re scant on details,” she said.

Plaintiffs argue case for Peel protection Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

his week lawyers are arguing in front of Yukon’s Supreme Court to decide the fate of the Peel River watershed. The 68,000-square-kilometre swath of largely undisturbed wilderness is at the centre of a debate over the limits of aboriginal rights in the Yukon. The outcome of the case is poised to ripple across the country. When Yukon First Nations signed treaties with Canada and the Yukon 20 years ago, they gave up aboriginal title to the vast majority of their lands in exchange for smaller parcels of land, money and certain rights. One of those rights is to participate in land management decisions on Crown lands. The central question of this week’s trial is not how much of the Peel watershed should be protected from development, but the limits of the Yukon government’s power to ultimately decide that question. On Monday elders and chiefs who came to witness the proceedings from remote Yukon and N.W.T. communities filled more than half the courtroom. The remaining benches were filled by journalists and bureaucrats, forcing more than 100 interested members of the public to watch by live feed from a nearby room. Justice Ron Veale has been charged with determining if the Peel Watershed Planning Commission’s final recommended plan or the Yukon government’s plan should be considered the legally binding document. The commission spent seven years consulting with the government, First Nations and communities to develop its plan, released in 2012, which calls for a ban on new roads and development in 80 per cent of the watershed. But the Yukon government did not like that plan, and drafted its own. In that plan only 29 per cent of the area is protected from new mineral staking. New road construction is not ruled out anywhere in the watershed. Over two days famed aboriginal rights lawyer Thomas Berger has argued that the commission’s plan must be considered approved and binding on the Yukon government, because it is the only plan that flows from the process outlined in the First Nations’ treaties. Berger represents the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun, the Tr’ondek Hwech’in and conservation groups. Those First Nations are signatories to the Umbrella Final Agreement, the document enshrined in treaties and the Constitution of Canada that

the Gwich’in Tribal Council, made a brief submission as an intervenor in the case. The council represents the Gwich’in people of the N.W.T.’s Mackenzie Delta, including communities located within the Peel watershed downstream from the Yukon. The council is not a signatory to the Umbrella Final Agreement, but has provisions in its final agreement for participation in land use planning for the Peel watershed. Langlois argued that the court must rule in the interest of dialogue and reconciliation between the Yukon government and First Nations. A narrow, contractual interpretation of the treaties would undermine relationships with First Nations and dissuade unsigned First Nations from entering into treaties, he said. He asked why a First Nation Alistair Maitland/Yukon News would trade the uncertainty of The trial over the Peel watershed plans began Monday morning in Whitehorse. common-law aboriginal rights for legally enshrined rights that describes the process for land lands under their jurisdiction. sion in implementing the plan. are interpreted narrowly at use planning in the Yukon.

First Nations have a right to participate in decisions regarding land use planning on Crown lands but not a right to determine the outcome, he said. “There’s quite a lot of involvement by First Nations in the planning process,” said Hunter. “I think there’s a lot of reason why this process is a good one and First Nations ought to feel that they have significant involvement in it, even if at the end of the day, it doesn’t work out exactly the way they want it to.” Hunter is scheduled to make his arguments to court Alistair Maitland/Yukon News Justice Ron Veale moves the thick binders of legal documents that underpin the dispute over Wednesday morning, after which Berger will have an opthe Peel watershed land use plan. portunity for reply.

Instead, the affordable apartments were intended for those who didn’t qualify for social housing but could not afford to buy a house. The most recent Statistics Canada numbers, from the National Household Survey, puts the median household income in Whitehorse at $82,345 in 2010. If the income cap was set at $68,300, that works out to 83 per cent of the median income – a lower percentage than the government was going to require rents be set at. Cathers maintains that developers were only willing to cap the incomes of renters in a third of the affordable units. “If you have an income cap of $68,000 on a third of the units, and they won’t agree to even that high of an income cap on the others, what confidence can anyone reasonably have that the renters of those units would have been the people most in need, instead of people who could afford other rental units that were on the market?” he asked. But Antonio Zedda, one of the three Whitehorse developers approved by the housing corporation to build in Whitehorse, says he was more than willing to put income limits on more units. Cathers describes the process of coming up with the cap as a “negotiation.” Zedda paints a different picture. “They presented it as a new condition and we agreed in principle. Basically, we would have had to get a proof of income from tenants so that total family income did not exceed $69,000 to be eligible,” Zedda said in an email. “We suggested that it apply to one-third of the apartments we were proposing but we would

Group unveils seniors housing project Myles Dolphin News Reporter

he Vimy Heritage Housing Society has announced details of its plans to build a supportive housing project for seniors in Whitehorse. The non-profit organization, in partnership with the Yukon government and the City of Whitehorse, is working towards establishing a 75-unit facility within the next two years. The barrier-free building, made up of one and two-bedroom apartments, will bridge an important gap between home ownership and long-term care, said Bev Buckway, vice-president of the society. “The facility is geared towards seniors over 55 years of age living independent lives, who may find it physically and financially hard to maintain their homes and need a bit of assistance,” she said. “The project, not to be confused with social housing initiatives, is designed to be selfsupportive and will not require ongoing (operating and maintenance) funding from the Yukon

government.” Monthly fees, expected to be in the neighborhood of $2,400, will be significantly higher than the median rent in Whitehorse, which was $900 as of Dec. 2013 according to the Yukon Bureau of Statistics. While the figure might seem steep, Buckway said seniors who live at the facility will be saving on expenditures such as home maintenance, insurance, property taxes, groceries and water. “Yes, it’ll cost more, but we will have staff on-site and for people who have a modest pension it’s not out of reach,” she added. The fee will also include two meals a day, light housekeeping, laundry and recreational activities. The model is based on similar facilities run by the New Chelsea Society in British Columbia, one of the first Royal Canadian Legion housing societies established in Canada. Work on this project initially began in 2011, when the VHHS approached the Yukon government with the idea.

tag of $18 million, is contingent on its location. The VHSS is aiming for a portion of capital funding to come from the government and is hoping to obtain a piece of land from the city at a nominal fee. “That combination of funding will help us keep rent fees low,” Buckway said. A short fundraising stint has already brought in more than $70,000 and the society’s board members said that amount represents a clear support for the project. The VHSS also has a few financial ideas to fall back on if it isn’t able to fill up every unit by the time the facility opens. “The Yukon College brings Myles Dolphin/Yukon News in transient students who might Bev Buckway, vice president of the Vimy Heritage Housing need a place to stay and the Society, shared an updated on plans to open a 75-unit facility health care department brings for independent seniors in the territory at a news conference in patients on a temporary on Monday. basis,” said Barbara Evans, VHSS treasurer.

White Pass cancels its herbicides plans Ashley Joannou News Reporter

he White Pass and Yukon Route railway has cancelled the plan to spray herbicides along its tracks. The company was in the process of applying to spray the chemicals in Yukon, but on Friday Environment Yukon was told the application was being withdrawn. “Following the announce-

ment that the WP & YR was preparing to spray herbicide on the right of way between Skagway and Carcross there has been a great deal of comment and debate about the merits, community concerns, and legality of the proposed program,” company president John Finlayson said in a letter. The letter, sent to the City of Skagway, the Carcross/Tagish First Nations, Environment Yukon and DBI Services, says the project has been suspended indefinitely for the entire track. The railway had argued the herbicides were necessary to clear weeds away and kill roots that could make the tracks unstable.

The work in the Yukon was being done at the request of Transport Canada. In an interview Monday afternoon, Finlayson said the company has hired a new contractor to use weed whackers on the pesky plants in the short term. That will take care of the Transport Canada requirement that the tracks be visible for inspection. But the roots will still have to be removed somehow to keep the track safe. The company will be looking into other, more organic, options for killing the weeds, Finlayson said. What that will be exactly, hasn’t been decided, he said. Finlayson said the company

hadn’t seriously considered other options when it applied for the herbicide permit and were instead going with an established “industry standard.” The Yukon Conservation Society raised concerns about using herbicides, particularly on the tracks close to the waters of the Bennett Arm. It also questioned whether the Yukon’s cold temperature would affect the process. The company had submitted applications to use VisionMax and Arsenal, two herbicides that are potentially toxic to aquatic life. The active chemical in Visonmax is glyphosate. Glyphosate is currently under review by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “We think this is good news for the environment,” YCS’s Lewis Rifkind said Friday. “However, we do recognize that they’re going to have to get rid

Hopefully they can find a less horrible way to do it.” A spokesperson for Environment Yukon said it received 30 public comments on the herbicide application over the two weeks that it was open for pubic review. Finlayson said the company still believes the use of herbicides can be done safely, and is well within its legal right. “With the amount of anxiety that seem to be out there we want to make sure we are making the right choice,” he said. White Pass had originally given Transport Canada a verbal promise to have the work done by the end of the year. “The change might put us a bit behind schedule,” Finlayson said, adding that Transport Canada is aware of everything that has happened and the work that is being done. “As a community member we would be remiss if we did not examine and test these methods in an attempt to find a solution more acceptable to all involved,” the letter said.

What the ‘Peel trial’ is about David Loeks

he “Peel trial” is underway this week. After years of public controversy, this is coming to a head. These hearings are not about the contents of the planning commission’s final recommended plan. That matter has been heard and judged in the court of professional review and public opinion. That verdict is in: the Yukon public and four of the five Parties (that is, the four First Nation sponsors) overwhelmingly accept the plan as reflecting the public interest. The Yukon Government is the exception, and their ersatz alternative plan was rejected in this same court. So what is the Peel trial about? From a layman’s understanding (I am no lawyer) on the surface it addresses points of process in the Yukon land claims Umbrella Final Agreement. These are technical details and perhaps not very exciting, but on them, many important matters hang. Two First Nation governments, along with two environmental organizations, have taken the Yukon government to court. They claim the territory failed to follow the legally required land-use planning process set out in the UFA and that the Yukon government’s alternative “plan” is invalid. Setting aside the Peel plan for a moment, the First Nations have to draw a line on the government’s challenge to the UFA. If the territory can play loose with its details and with its guiding philosophy, the UFA is a shaky document. At issue: the First Nations believe the UFA intends that public lands and resources to be managed by the territory and the First Nations cooperatively. The Yukon government claims the UFA intends that the territory manages public lands and the First Nations manage their lands independent-

ly. This lawsuit will clarify which interpretation of the UFA will hold. At stake is the edifice of selfgovernment that we in the Yukon have been painstakingly erecting for the past generation. Back to the Peel trial, if the plaintiffs are correct, the commission’s plan – not the Yukon government’s alternative – will be the binding outcome of the planning process. The UFA makes plain that land use planning in the Yukon must be a product of the UFA planning process. This is equally true for Yukon government and for First Nations land. So an important question is whether the Yukon government’s “plan” for the land it manages is a modification of the commission’s work or not. Can it be considered a product of the UFA planning process? Or is it is such a departure that it is a “wildcat” plan written outside of the bounds of the UFA? If it is, it is invalid. The Yukon government’s lawyers will assert that the territory has been following the UFA process correctly and that they are entitled to modify the commission’s plan as they see fit. Technical details aside, beneath the government position is a philosophical challenge to the UFA as a template for co-management with First Nations. Not being tested in the courts (but in the court of public opinion) is a conviction held by cabinet that politicians have an unfettered right to make far reaching decisions over public resources. Even if most people strongly disagree. Even if their decisions are short-sighted and harmful. In other words, cabinet – a group of people elected for just four years – claim the right to mar assets that should be a legacy for future generations. Over a seven-year process, the Yukon people clearly said that they valued the wilderness character of

the Peel watershed and that they saw no reason to change it at this time. Cabinet wants to ignore and override the public’s wishes: “vote us out if you don’t like it,” they say. But here is the rub: politicians’ accountability is measured in just a few years. The consequences of their short-term decisions can persist on the Peel landscape for centuries. The Peel trial would not be necessary had the Yukon government shown a decent respect for binding agreements. Had it participated squarely in the process, the government would have learned that Yukoners can identify the public interest through good land use planning. A key objective set out by the parties for the Peel watershed plan is to sustain the ecological integrity of the region. To do this we need humility, ethical stewardship, and cautious decision-making. The Yukon people don’t need swagger from their government, they need it to be a cooperative partner. That is what is at stake in the Peel trial.

‘Boggles the mind’ Conversation overheard in a cafe recently: “Hey, do you live in a tent?” “Yeah, do you?!” “Yeah!” As in – that’s pretty cool, living in a tent, below the clay cliffs, for my summer spent in Whitehorse. A fun memory later on of “when i was young.” But what if it’s not so cool and in fact it’s not a choice at all? And what if it’s not summer, but rapidly cooling fall, and what if you are a young single mother or a person struggling with alcohol – is it so cool then to have so few choices available you have to live in a tent? Thank you to the Yukon AntiPoverty Coalition for showing what this housing project was meant to be for our community and working so hard to make it so. “Boggles the mind” is one way of putting this action by the Yukon government. I would really like to know where

the Yukon Real Estate Association and the Yukon Landlords Association and the Yukon government were during the efforts the coalition was making to work on this Yukon Housing project. Coming in at the 11th hour to criticize and torpedo the project is government decision-making at its worst. Where is the intention for community building, listening to and responding to the needs of the 90 per cent, and not just the 10 per cent in our community that was at the heart of this proposal and that the coalition worked so hard to promote? There has to be a better way for the Yukon government and our business community to work with the rest of the community on making it better for all of us. I would really like to see our territorial government and local business community get that and act on it. Gillian McKee Whitehorse

Time to revisit our liquor regulations of liquor. The reality is that we cannot regulate healthy use of liquor.

This is a showing that is repeated at local hotels which prohibit minors in their restaurants/pubs year over year, and not really a after 11 a.m. This is because the feat we should be proud of.

SECOND THOUGHTS

children explode if they see a patron having a beer at lunch or buying a six-pack to go? I recognize that there is some choice of the hotel at play here, but still a fairly absurd result. Then there is the epic journey you need to embark on to purchase a keg of beer. You cannot purchase a keg, which holds around 60 litres of beer, through the retail store; instead, you must order it advance and pick it up at the warehouse out back. Before that happens, you must execute a lengthy contract that gives the address where the keg will be consumed, a hefty deposit, a promise to return the keg within a week and, if you do not own the house where the beer will be drank, the approval of the owner of the home. Of course you can simply purchase 150 cans of beer through the retail store and end up with the same amount of beer, for around the same price, without the hassle. Which is absurd. Why set up such an onerous system to control kegs when one can simply bypass it by purchasing the same amount of alcohol in a different

format? Defenders of our liquor rules may retort with a list of petty complaints and minor nuisances. I’d reply that the more petty regulations we have on the books, the more time and money our government is spending enforcing those regulations and prohibitions, leaving us with less money to actually address the problems stemming from alcohol use. Such petty regulations and prohibitions also give us the illusion that we are somehow combating our unhealthy consumption of alcohol. A bit of smoke and mirrors, as the heavy regulations in place are empirically doing very little to affect consumption. The point here is two-fold. First, let’s stop spending time and money administering and enforcing liquor regulations that don’t make much sense. Let’s spend that time and money instead on rehab and support programs. I would advise that our territory undertake a review of the entire regulatory structure surrounding liquor sales, as our current plan simply is not providing healthy results.

A central plank of such a review should be a hard look at whether a government-run liquor monopoly is still needed, or whether it is time to fold up the shop. Second, let’s stop treating alcohol like a banned substance and start treating it like a part of society, much along the lines of continental Europe. In Germany and France alcohol is far more available than in North America, subject to less regulation, and their populations are far less prone to binge drinking than their North American counterparts. We unfortunately inherited the British system of heavy regulation, which has been shown to result in heavy binge drinking from a young age. At the end of the day the statistics cannot be ignored. We are the biggest per capita consumers of alcohol in the entire world. The status quo is not working, we need a new approach. We need to start looking at ways to encourage healthy consumption of alcohol; we need to be creative and we need to start now. Graham Lang is a Whitehorse lawyer and long-time Yukoner.

A primer on Conservative government’s proposed new prostitution law, Bill C 36 Canadian Press

OTTAWA n a rare summer sitting, the House of Commons Justice committee is examining Bill C-36, the federal government’s proposed new prostitution law. Here are some of the changes the bill makes: Why a new law? Last December, in a case known as Bedford, the Supreme Court of Canada threw out existing prostitution laws, saying the violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The court gave the government a year to bring in new legislation. Choices: There are different approaches to prostitution across the world. In some countries, such as New Zealand, it is legal and regulated under labour and public health laws. In the United States it is illegal in all but a few counties in Nevada. The so-called Nordic model, followed in Norway, Sweden and Iceland, makes buying sex illegal, while selling it is not Old law: Selling sex was legal, but living in a bawdy house or brothel was illegal, as was living off the profits of another’s prostitution and soliciting sex in public.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay arrives at a Commons Justice committee meeting in Ottawa on Monday.

the bill will protect vulnerable women and keep communities safe by allowing prostitutes to rent apartments, screen clients,

hire a receptionist or security guard, and advertise their own services. Cons: Sex workers say that because buying sex remains a criminal offence, the new law will drive prostitutes back into dark alleys and industrial zones, leaving them at risk. Quotes: “These appeals and the crossappeal are not about whether prostitution should be legal or not. They are about whether the laws Parliament has enacted on how prostitution may be carried out pass constitutional muster. I conclude that they do not.” – Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, writing the decision in the Bedford case. --“We believe prostitution is inherently dangerous and exploitative.” – Justice Minister Peter MacKay, testifying at a Commons committee. --“They are not harmful because they are illegal. They are illegal because they are harmful.” – Prime Minister Stephen Harper, speaking of activities in the sex trade.

Justice Department officials, who advised the government, will be open to questioning by all parties later today after MacKay has finished his testimony, says Bob Dechert, the minister’s parliamentary secretary. Prostitution itself was actually legal in Canada under the

old law, but most related activities – including communicating in a public place for the purposes of prostitution, pimping and running a brothel – were criminal offences. The Supreme Court said that amounted to a violation of the basic Charter right to security of the person was concerned that the provisions unduly increased the risk to sex workers. The Conservatives new bill creates new offences for clients and pimps, but does not criminalize prostitutes themselves. It also cracks down on advertising and selling sexual services in public places where a child

could reasonably be expected to be present. Parliamentary committees rarely convene during the summer recess. This week, the committee expects to hear from more than 60 witnesses over 20 hours of hearings that will run into Thursday. NDP justice critic Francoise Boivin says she wants the government to slow down and thoughtfully craft a new, Charter-compliant law over the summer months. The vast list of those testifying includes sex workers, indigenous women, community workers and experts from Europe.

But the opposition says the system is being used by the Conservative leadership to push through legislation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not subject to the same checks and balances as more closely scrutinized government bills. Prime Minister Brian Mulroneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Progressive Conservative government technically passed more private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 31 during one Parliament

alone. But most of those bills were name changes to individual ridings, a technical change that is now done in a single piece of government legislation. The last majority Liberal Parliament saw only eight private members bills pass. Conservative B.C. MP Dan Albas put forward a private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill on personal wine imports, and saw it pass in 2012. He wanted to amend a bit of prohibition-era law that banned Canadians from taking wine over provincial borders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a big issue in the Okanagan Valley where he lives. After Albasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill passed, the government decided to pick up on the idea in the last budget and expand the change to include beer and spirits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People really do appreciate when you take local concerns, bring them up to that level, and in this case, we were very successful,â&#x20AC;? said Albas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows that your member is listening and that the system works. You can bring ideas to Ottawa, and you can see them through.â&#x20AC;? NDP MP Randall Garri-

son has found success twice in getting a bill through the Commons to criminalize discrimination against transgender Canadians, managing to secure the support of 18 Conservative MPs and cabinet ministers. But a year later, the legislation remains stuck in limbo in the Senate. Garrison now fears there is a behind-the-scenes plan to make sure his bill never becomes law. Garrison, who sits on the Commons public safety committee, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen Conservative private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bills on law and order that should have been introduced by the government. When legislation is proposed by a minister, it gets vetted by departmental lawyers and policy experts before landing in the Commons, unlike private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation. A recently passed private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill restricting offenders from coming within two kilometres of a victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home came out of the justice committee with seven amendments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ended up amending the Criminal Code and the Corrections (and Conditional Re-

lease) Act in piecemeal fashion, without the minister of justice being involved in the constitutional questions, because that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen for private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bills,â&#x20AC;? Garrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in for some confusing court time as a result of the government using the private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bills this way.â&#x20AC;? Ontario Conservative MP Gord Brown, who has seen two of his private initiatives become law, argues that the government couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly draft legislation on issues that come up in 308 ridings. Brown gave voice to a push inside his riding to change the name of the St. Lawrence Islands National Park of Canada to the more precise Thousand Islands National Park of Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something that had been supported by constituents since the 1970s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No government ever did it. Something like that had to be driven locally. It is an example of something that is driven by a riding and brought forward by a member of Parliament,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. Even with the Conservative majority, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee of success. Private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

bills are not generally whipped by party leaderships. Saskatchewan MP Maurice Vellacottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid to have judges make equal parenting a priority when deciding custody cases was defeated by a vote of 174-80. Conservative MP Michael Chongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reform Act, aimed at rebalancing the power of the party leaders versus parliamentarians, will be a test of the private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill system and whether free votes are genuinely unrestricted. The bill would give MPs the power to initiate the ouster of their leader, among other measures.

Well Read Books celebrates 15 years

Alistair Maitland/Yukon News

Jan Stick, co-owner of Well Read Books on 4th Avenue in Whitehorse, is celebrating the store’s 15th anniversary this week.

he pusher stands on a street corner in downtown Whitehorse. A fresh shipment has just come in. It’s Saturday and everyone’s jonesing for a fix. The clientele is scandalous: a former Yukon premier’s daughter, notable business owners – everyone is looking to score. A man sidles up, his face pocked and scarred. Opening a frayed backpack he displays the contents and nervously asks, “how much?” The pusher reaches in, handling the contents with a practiced hand. She pulls three packages out. “$12.50 for these,” she says “but I don’t want the rest.” After almost two decades in the business, this pusher can tell the good stuff from the bad in a heartbeat. “What about you?” she says, turning on me. “You need anything?” I wet my lips. It’s been almost three weeks since my last hit. “Some Fitzgerald,” is all I manage to stammer out. Jan Stick turns and leads me into the doors of Well Read Books. This Thursday the store is celebrating its 15 year anniversary. In an era dominated by mega chains like Chapters Indigo, which in 2011 accounted for almost half of all Canadian book sales, this in-

dependently owned second-hand book store has reached a significant milestone. Stick, the book pusher, is part owner of Well Read Books. Over the past decade and a half the store has managed to pay off its investors and maintain a steady, if somewhat modest income. “We pay the staff, we pay our rent, we pay the bills, there’s not a lot left over after that. Our value is in our inventory – it’s in what we own.” The store works on a straightforward trade-in system. People are offered store credit for books in good condition at a quarter of the cover price. The books are then resold for half the cover price. Customers may apply half of their store credit to any purchase. “Yukoners are very well read,” Stick says. “Most of our customers think about (used bookstores) most in terms of cost, but there’s also the recycle, re-use aspect. We have some customers that like to recirculate books all the time and others that probably have more books than I do.” The system keeps a steady rotation of titles in the store, some as fresh as I am Malala, only four months off the New York Times bestseller list, and others as old as first editions from the northern collection. From behind the

counter Stick produces the most valuable book in the store, a thumbnail size copy of Robert Service’s Songs of the Yukon, published in 1913. “It was printed in Edinburgh,” says Stick. “It’s worth about $500.” The business, however, has not been immune to changing consumer tastes. Electronic books, which accounted for 17.6 per cent of Canadian book sales in 2013, have taken a bite out of the market. “There has been a plateau in sales over the past three years,” Stick tells me as we walk through the store. “We noticed the change with the onset of e-books. When people are travelling they just download e-books and are on their way.” Despite this potentially grim shift, Stick is optimistic. “When you shift to online you lose the feel of books. And you can’t get everything online.” As Stick leads me through the rows of bookshelves my fingers brush across the spines of countless stories. The cackling voice of Pratchett’s Nanny Ogg calls out to me, I can hear spray from Hemingway’s giant Marlin, snared and splashing in the Caribbean Sea. “We have a lot of books,” Stick comments. “When we opened we had maybe 11,000. We have over

40,000 titles now.” With so many titles Well Read could easily have become a cluttered quagmire of musty books, yet the store has maintained a neat sense of propriety. “We’re very fussy about the quality of our books, we’ve also gotten really good at weeding,” Stick says, laughing. “We’ve even banned certain genres and certain trashy authors,” she confides. The result is a spacious, sun-soaked store where a copy of Tender is the Night presents itself freely. Thumbing through the pages I find a hand-written inscription: “Berlin – January 2009, and so my darling, we try again. I’m sure this one will hit the spot, with love. Luke.” The physical memory of used books is one of the quirks that makes Well Read an irreplaceable commodity among bibliophiles. In the basement of the store, where duplicates of books and special editions are stacked from floor to ceiling, Stick shares some of the more peculiar aspects of owning a used bookstore. Like the time Karen Walker, a partner in the business, grabbed a random book off the shelf only to discover the book, from 1930, was signed to her own mother and had made its way to the Yukon all the way from

Ontario. Upstairs, Stick shows me the wall covered with various items staff have found hidden among the pages of sorted books. “We’ve found $50 bills, pressed flowers, old letters. We even once had a wedding picture that someone came in and claimed!” Stick exclaims. “There’s always little magic stories.” Well Read has also served as a well-used public space. “We’ve had book clubs, play readings, we have an annual craft sale,” says Stick. Over 15 years there are a lot of things to remember, and it falls to me to remind Stick that Well Read was once the generous host of the FH Collins writing club. “That’s right!” she exclaims. “I used to be behind the counter and just listen… it was like somehow the kids thought there was a cone of silence. I loved it. It cracked me up.” Stick says she is optimistic that Well Read will manage to carve its niche into the next 15 years. “I don’t think we need to change much,” she says, gazing wistfully across the rows of books. “It’s a good business to be in. Books, literacy, it’s a good thing to push.” Pavlina Sudrich is a recovering bibliophile and freelance reporter.

personality Kat Von D. Indigo first began making changes to its business model in 2010 as the popularity of ebooks and e-readers, like Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kindle and its own Kobo, grew. Indigo sold its remaining share in Kobo Inc. in 2012 to Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rakuten Inc. in a deal worth US$315 million. Since then, the bookseller has been struggling with sales amid intense competition from mass merchants, such as Walmart and Target, and online

giants like Amazon. Last month, Indigo reported a $14.4-million net loss in the fourth quarter as the company cited lower margins along with costs for severance and store closures and continuing investments in its transformational strategy. That compared with a net loss of $8.2 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier. Revenues for the quarter came in at $184.3 million, up from $184 million year-over-year.

Injection of drilling wastewater into four big Oklahoma wells triggered more than 100 earthquakes Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON new study explains how just four wells forcing massive amounts of drilling wastewater into the ground are probably shaking up Oklahoma. Those wells seem to have triggered more than 100 small-to-medium earthquakes in the past five years, according to a study published last week by the journal Science. Many of the quakes were much farther away from the wells than expected. Combined, those wells daily pour more than 5 million gallons (19 million litres) of water a mile or two underground into rock formations, the study found. That buildup of fluid creates more pressure that â&#x20AC;&#x153;has to go somewhere,â&#x20AC;? said study lead author Cornell University seismologist Katie Keranen. Researchers originally figured the water diffused through underground rocks

slowly. But instead, it is moving faster and farther and triggers quake fault lines that already were likely ready to move, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to raise the pressure a great deal,â&#x20AC;? she added. The study shows the likely way in which the pressure can trigger fault lines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which already existed yet were not too activeâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; but researchers need more detail on the liquid injections themselves to absolutely prove the case, Keranen said. The wastewater is leftover from unconventional wells that drill for oil and gas with help of high pressure liquids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nicknamed fracking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and from the removal of water from diluted oil. These new methods mean much more wastewater has to be discarded. While there are about 8,000 deep injection wells in the region, the amount of water injected at the four wells â&#x20AC;&#x201C; named Chambers, Deep Throat, Flower Power and Sweetheart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has more than

doubled since the drilling boom started about a decade ago. From 1976 to 2007, Oklahoma each year averaged about one quake of magnitude 3 or more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; strong enough to feel locally but too weak to cause damage. But from 2008 to 2013, the state averaged 44 earthquakes of that size every year.

The rattling has led some Oklahomans to push for restrictions on the use of injection wells. While past research has shown more quakes in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Kansas and correlated it statistically to injection wells, this study used computer simulations to identify the mechanism of how massive amounts of water travel as much as 32 million kilometres from the well. The pressure then triggers existing

Deaths from opioid overdoses have risen dramatically, Ontario study finds Sheryl Ubelacker Canadian Press

TORONTO he rate of fatal overdoses from opioids such as oxycodone and morphine has soared over the last 20 years as prescriptions for the addictive and highly potent painkillers have continued to rise, an Ontario study has found. The annual rate of opioid-related deaths jumped by 242 per cent between 1991 and 2010, said lead author Tara Gomes, a scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, or ICES, which conducted the study published Monday in the journal Addiction. “In 2010, we found that there were approximately 550 deaths related to opioid overdose, which equates to one or two deaths every day,” said Gomes, noting that the annual fatal overdose rate two decades earlier was 127. The highest proportion of deaths was clustered among young adults, say the researchers, who analyzed provincial coroner’s records from 1991 to 2010. “One in every eight deaths in people aged 25 to 34 were related to opioid overdoses,” said Gomes. Twenty years ago, the rate for that age group was one in 25. “Given the concentration of deaths in the younger ages, we found that opioid-related deaths had a considerable societal burden” she said. “In 2010, these deaths led to over 20,000 years of life lost,” In all, 5,935 Ontarians died from opioid overdoses in the 20year period. “These could be people who purchased the drugs on the street, these could be people who received legitimate prescriptions and mistakenly took too much of the drug

or escalated their dose without checking with their primary-care provider,” Gomes speculated. “These could also be people who have heard about recreational use of these drugs and knew to go into their parents’ or grandparents’ medicine cabinet and find the drug and try it. And never having taken the drug before, they can overdose after just one or two pills of a highstrength formulation.” Over the last two decades, several new products have come on the market, among them oxycodone. Doctors began prescribing the drugs more often to treat those with intractable pain, and often in increasingly potent doses. “And I think the combination

of these factors is likely driving a lot of this increased risk of opioid overdose that we’re seeing, because there’s a lot more of the products available, and as well these drugs are being used at higher doses,” she said. “And we have seen in past research that higher doses of opioids are associated with increased risk of overdose death.” Codeine, hydromorphone, morphine, fentanyl and oxycodone are the “big players” among the opioids, she said. Opioid prescription rates have continued to rise, driven by aggressive marketing by manufacturers of the products to physicians, who she believes have become more

comfortable with recommending them for patients suffering with hard-to-treat pain. But drug-seeking behaviour by those looking to abuse the medications is also likely driving up prescribing rates, she said, adding that opioids’ addictive nature can lead to someone visiting several doctors to obtain multiple prescriptions, a phenomenon known as doubledoctoring. Gomes suspects the escalation in opioid overdose deaths is likely occurring across the country. However, there is no national database to track overdose deaths, said Benedikt Fischer, a professor of health sciences at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., although the numbers are moving upwards in that province as well. “It’s an extremely worrisome picture that the number of deaths are going up and have been going up for many years the way they are,” Fischer, who was not involved

in the study, said of the Ontario findings. “And this is a huge death toll. “We know that the number of opioid deaths is almost perfectly correlated to the amount of prescription opioids dispensed to the population. So, in essence, the number of deaths are a function of the amount of opioids prescribed and dispensed into the population.” In order to reduce the death toll from prescription opioids, a strategy needs to be found to reduce the amounts being dispensed, he said, noting that Canadians are the second-largest per capita users of these drugs in the world after Americans. Fischer said that while chopping the overdose death toll has to begin with doctors cutting back on prescriptions, it’s also critical to recognize that these medications play a key role in treating many patients with pain, including those with cancer. “Let me be clear. We cannot afford to eliminate these medications. We need them,” he said. “They’re important to a lot of people with chronic and severe pain who need these drugs. “But current prescribing and dispensing goes far beyond those parameters. It exceeds those hazardously.” The Ontario researchers have developed an interactive map of Ontario counties with the highest rates of opioid overdose deaths, including Thunder Bay and Sudbury, and large urban centres like Toronto. Gomes said health-care providers need to ensure that patients understand the risks opioids may pose and that they should be “very careful” with their use. “They shouldn’t share their drugs, they shouldn’t escalate their dose without consulting their physician and they should just be very aware that these are risky drugs that can be effective but can also be very dangerous.”

CRTC has received more than 1,000 complaints since anti spam law took effect Michael Oliveira Canadian Press

TORONTO ore than 1,000 complaints have been filed since the new anti-spam law took effect on Tuesday, says Manon Bombardier, the CRTC’s chief compliance and enforcement officer. Hundreds of reports have been submitted daily at fightspam.gc.ca and investigators are already at work looking into whether companies have violated the new law, says Bombardier. “We have received a number of complaints, and the numbers will keep going up for sure, but really for us the positive message is Canadians are seeing the importance of the legislation and they are

reporting (spam) to the CRTC as the mechanism allows them to do,” she says. “From what we’ve observed in social media the reaction seems to be quite positive.” The federal legislation requires that businesses get written or oral consent before they send emails or other digital messages to consumers. Companies must also clearly identify themselves in each message and allow consumers to unsubscribe from digital mailings. Businesses that violate the law could face financial penalties of up to $10 million per violation, while individuals could be fined up to $1 million per infraction. Bombardier cautions that while she expects the law will reduce the amount of spam Canadians receive,

it won’t keep their inboxes clear. “The legislation is seeking to strike a balance between the privacy of Canadians and the legitimate businesses that need to communicate with Canadians, so there are some exemptions in the rules. People will continue to receive emails but hopefully only legitimate ones,” she says. Consumers who wish to report unwanted spam emails can forward messages to spam(at)fightspam. gc.ca or fill out an online form to register a complaint. “We’re going to look at all the complaints we receive,” Bombardier says. “We will be strategic in which ones we pursue for investigations but we will review all the complaints.”

Last year, about four billion recovered pennies were turned into scrap metal.

Snowboarder Melvin-McNutt identified by Team Canada erage sponsored event, at Sun Peaks Resort in Kamloops, B.C., the next week. “The big one was the Dew Tour one. There were a lot better riders,” said MelvinMcNutt. “I consider it a higher contest (than nationals). I was a lot more stoked about that result.” Melvin-McNutt also placed third in a Canadian Shield Snowboard Tour event at the start of the season. Following the season he submitted an application for the developmental team along with a video of his big tricks to Canada Snowboard. Melvin-McNutt’s biggest trick last season, he says, was a cab 1440 – that’s going off the jump switch and completing four full rotations. “I just want to do really well in my contests next year,” said Melvin-McNutt. “I want to train really hard this summer, which I’m doing. I want to get in really good shape and get prepared physically and mentally for the next season.” Final selection will be made after the team’s funding is determined by the Government of Canada’s Own The Podium program, Snowboard Canada told the News. “I’d love to send out a message to the snowboard kids back home,” said MelvinMcNutt. “Telling them to stay focused on your goals. Anything is possible if they believe in themselves.”

hitehorse snowboarder Max Melvin-McNutt has had some ups and downs over the past three seasons. In 2011 he became the first Yukoner ever named to the B.C. Provincial Freestyle Snowboard team. After a couple podium finishes in his first competition with the team he missed the rest of the season with a broken collarbone. The same thing happened the next season with another collarbone break. Then last summer the B.C. team dissolved due to a lack of funding. But things appear to be turning around for the 20-year-old. Melvin-McNutt is one of just nine boarders currently in line for Canada’s developmental slopestyle team, Snowboard Canada announced last week. “I’m super happy,” said Melvin-McNutt. “I was really, really happy. Thrilled. All the hard work has paid off and I’m finally getting somewhere with it.” This past season MelvinMcNutt did it alone, without a team, on the freestyle circuit. Melvin-McNutt, who is now living full-time in Whistler, finished last season tied for 13th in Canada in slopestyle after some big results. After missing the nationals the previous two years because of his collarbone, he rode to a fifth place finish in his first appearance at the Canadian Freestyle Snowboard Championships in March. He then scooped up a third place at the Dew Tour AM Series, a Mountain Dew bev-

Masters curling nationals coming to Whitehorse T

he Whitehorse Curling Club will be in the national spotlight next spring as host of the 2015 Canadian Masters Curling Championship, it was announced last week. “It’s a great opportunity for the club,” said club president Mark Evans. “It’s great for the club in that it creates interest in the game. And it brings people to Whitehorse, which is good for

all sorts of reasons, not directly related to tourism, in terms of tourism. “For the club itself, it helps raise interest in the game for club members. Whenever there’s any national-level competition, it raises everyone’s game. It makes them want to compete.” The Masters is a national championship for athletes 60 and over. The first championship

was held in 1987 and was a men’s tournament until a women’s side of the championship was added in 2000. It will be the first time the Whitehorse club hosts the Masters and the first time the club hosts a national championships since it housed the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship in 2006. It’s a great chance for the club

to showcase the facility and local volunteers, said Evans. “It also brings awareness of curling in the Yukon, and obviously the Whitehorse Curling Club, to the national level, like the Canadian Curling Association,” he said. “We haven’t hosted a national championships in a long time so this will be a great opportunity to put our organization in place

and hopefully be able to bid for other national competitions in the future.” Playdowns for Yukon’s spots in the championship will be held at the Whitehorse club in December. The Masters is sanctioned by the Canadian Curling Association and will take place March 29 to April 5. Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Prologue

t was happy trails once again for the Yukon Cross Country Motorcycle Association on Sunday. The YCCMA hosted its first event of the summer – the Mosquito Harescramble – at the Schirmer Family Ranch in Mount Lorne. It was an injury-free event with a great turnout and was a good start to the season, said YCCMA president Chris Locke. “No accidents at all, it was nice and sunny, everybody had a great time, lots of trophies for the kids,” said Locke. “I wouldn’t say it was our biggest event, but certainly the turnout was very big as far as spectators go. There was a lot of people there.” Thirty-seven riders took part in cross-country endurance races at the event that included a B loop and a more challenging A loop for advanced riders. It was the first of three events the YCCMA has planned for the season, which will mark the first time the club hosts that many events in a summer since its inaugural year in 2011. The association in currently preparing an application to take guardianship of a piece land in Whitehorse to run races. One spot they are considering is the “Stinky Lake” area 12 kilometres down Long Lake Road, the location of the YCCMA’s first races. Having guardianship of the land will allow riders under 16 years of age to ride their bikes within City of Whitehorse limits, which is currently against the law under the Yukon’s Highways Act. “It’s not a perfect location, and we may end up somewhere else, but it’s certainly one of the tracks we enjoy,” said Locke. “It’s not that we can’t ride there, the kids can’t ride there. So once it becomes our guardianship land, then we’re not encumbered by city bylaws because we’re responsible for insuring anybody there.” Since the association prides itself on hosting family events, offering races to youngsters, the YCCMA almost didn’t hold any races at all last season. They only held one in August after the Schirmer family offered their property. The YCCMA has since given up on repealing the law, said Locke. “That’s no longer a pursuit of ours. We’ve kind of figured out that that is something that is never going to get changed.” “We’ll be pursuing finding our own area to ride in whether it’s within the city limits or outside city limits on … territorial government land.” The next YCCMA race will take place on August 24 and will be followed by a third in September.

King gets crowned, Baldwin repeats at golf championships

Men’s champ Dan King lines up his putt on Hole 18 on Sunday. King won his first title by four strokes.

Tom Patrick News Reporter

ll hail the king. Dan King. The Whitehorse golfer topped the leaderboard both days to win his first men’s title at the 2014 Yukon Golf Championships on Sunday at Whitehorse’s Mountain View Golf Course. The 31-year-old carded a 77 Saturday and a 75 Sunday for the trophy. “It feels good,” said King. “I shot three rounds in the 70s (including Friday’s national qualifier), which I don’t often do, so it was fun.” Yukon’s 2007 champ, Landon Kulych, came second with an 80 and 76 to finish four strokes back. Rick Gingell, who took the low net, placed third overall with a combined 161. Gingell teed off a stroke behind King

in second on Sunday before a quadruple bogey on Hole 5 derailed his run. King kept his lead intact with his putting on Sunday’s back nine, “or else Landon probably would have had it,” he said. “I made three birdies on the back. I was pretty happy with that. “I started off a little rough. I bogeyed the first couple holes and then got it together.” King, who placed third at last year’s championship, is one of three Yukoners to earn spots at the 2014 Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship over the weekend. Kulych and Steve Estey, who moved to Whitehorse from New Brunswick last fall, will join King at the championship in Winnipeg this August. Scores from the championship and a round Friday evening in the rain determined Yukon’s roster for the nationals. (Gingell and Dan Hogberg are the alternates.) “(Kulych) probably had the round of the weekend on Friday – shot a 76 in the pouring rain,” said King. “It was really impressive and he’s a good guy to play

with.” Whitehorse’s Nicole Baldwin etched her name on the women’s trophy a second year in a row. Baldwin topped the field of four women golfers with an 88 and 84. “I just went out there to play my own game and have some good shots for myself,” said the 33-year-old. “I wanted to be in the 80s and I succeeded.” “Nothing outstanding really stood out today other than from (Hole) 2 to 6, I paired every hole,” she added. Elaine Sumner claimed second place with a combined score of 222, one stroke in front of Sheila Stockton, who won low net. Whitehorse’s James McGrath made his last season as a junior count. The 18-year-old penciled in a 90 Saturday and 86 Sunday to defend his junior title from last year. “Not the greatest (score), but it held up,” said McGrath. “I thought Riley Smoler was going to get me there after the first day. “I played a lot better today than yesterday,” he added. Parker Olson chipped out a second place finish with a 90 and 89, ending one shot in front of Smoler in third. Olson missed Sunday’s award ceremony having already hopped a plane south to play in the B.C. Junior Boys Championship this week in Pitt Meadows. Even though still a junior, McGrath is set to represent Yukon at the B.C.

the (Canada) Summer Games, and now I have some experience in big tournaments like that and I think I’m ready to go.” The 18th green was good to Whitehorse’s Tom Amson on Sunday. Amson drained a 60foot putt to win his first senior men’s title by a stroke. “That putt was really great,” said Amson. “It was a really lucky putt. “I was five-over on the front (nine) and then I started to settle down.” The three-time open men’s champ hit an 85 and 83 over the weekend, beating second place’s Dan Hogberg, who bogeyed 18 on Sunday, by one stroke. “It’s not that good. I guess old guys aren’t that good,” he added with a laugh. “I think it’s the first time I’ve played as a senior. It was fun.” Vic Istchenko, the 2011 senior men’s champ, placed third after starting Sunday with a five-stroke lead over both Amson and Hogberg. Istchenko opened the back nine with four straight bogeys followed by a

quadruple on 14. “Vic really had the lead and he blew up on the back nine,” said Amson. “Dan and I were tied going into today and I wasn’t really paying attention to Dan, I was paying attention to what Vic was doing.” Istchenko is slated to represent Yukon at the B.C. Senior Championships later this month in Christina Lake. Amson will compete for Team Yukon at the Canada 55+ Games in Strathcona County outside of Edmonton at the end of August. “(Course superintendent) Derek Wirth and his crew did a really good job getting the course ready,” said King. “I think he’s had some challenges this spring with how the weather’s been, but he always does a good job. “(Club director) Jeff (Wiggins) and his staff did a really good job organizing the tournament. It’s a lot of work every year.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

embers of the Klondike Highland Dancers made a road trip to Alberta a profitable one. Dancers from the Whitehorse school collected three overall trophies in two events in recent weeks. Klondike dancers raised two overall wins at the Red Deer Highland Games on June 28 in Alberta. Klondike’s Cadence Milford danced to first overall in the 10-yearold beginner division out of nine competitors in Red Deer. For the trophy she placed first in the sword and the flora, third in the fling, second in the lilt and fourth in Seann Triubhas. Kiarra Fitzsimmons was the other to grab the overall trophy. She also claimed first in the sword and flore, took second in the fling and lilt, and grabbed third in Seann Triubhas out of 13 dancers. Red Deer marked two in a row for Fitzsimmons. She won four gold and the overall trophy the previous weekend at the Ellerslie Highland Games.

Summer in the city: Finding an escape and a solace in a New Delhi park

carts that the ice cream men have pushed through various New Delhi neighbourhoods during the heat of the day, finally converging as the sun falls at this century-old park at the ceremonial heart of the capital. The ice cream is cheap. Most cost 35 rupees or less. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just 60 cents, inexpensive enough so that even the thousands who gather here can afford a couple for the kids. On a hot summer night, 10,000 people can come to India Gate park, named for the ceremonial arch that honours the Indian soldiers who died in World War I. Families carry sheets to spread on the lawns. They bring picnics with a half-dozen courses packed into plastic and metal containers. Children play badminton, chase each other on the grass, beg for cotton candy or balloons. Young couples, escaping the relentless

watch of extended families, find privacy in the crowds. They stay for hours. Often, there are traffic jams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; horns-blaring-drivers-going-the-wrong-waytraffic-jams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; long after rush hour has ended. The crowds are still at the park at 10 p.m. They are here at 11. Sometimes they stay long after midnight, children playing as their parents lie back on the lawns. Particularly in the summer, when India Gate is a solace and an escape, this is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard. For the most part, though, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a rich crowd. Around here, the handful of Range Rovers and Audis trolling for parking spaces are outnumbered by the endless cheap Marutis. And the Marutis are outnumbered by motorized rickshaws for those without cars. Rich people have air conditioning at home, and generators or backup batteries for when the electricity goes out. They live in neighbourhoods with green spaces. They can afford the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasing numbers of high-end restaurants, or at least the food courts at the malls. While pretty much everyone in New Delhi comes to India Gate at some point, the rich donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need it the way most of this city does. There are nearly 17 million people in New Delhi, most living in cramped concrete apartments in cramped concrete neighbour-

hoods, places where trees are rarities and parks are often reduced to dirt and garbage. In the summer, when 100-degree days are normal, the heat indoors is choking. So in the evenings, thoughts in these neighbourhoods often turn to India Gate, where the breeze blows across the grass and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something interesting to watch. Ravi Pandit came to New Delhi when he was 15 years old, arriving from a poverty-battered village in far-away Bihar. Through friends, he found work selling cheap trinkets at India Gate. These days, his offerings include toy light-up eyeglasses, red devil horns and plastic helicopters with tiny blue lights that you shoot into the air with a rubber band, and which flutter back to earth like dancing blue fireflies. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25 now, with a wife back in Bihar who he visits once a year. In New Delhi, he shares a kitchensized, one-room apartment with three other men. The bathroom is down the hall. On a good summer night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of those relentlessly hot nights when the crowds turn out in force â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he can make a 300-rupee profit, about $5. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad living, he says. The work is certainly better than sitting at home. He gestures around him: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least here there is fresh air, and there is always someone to talk to.â&#x20AC;?

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I suppose I should be grateful that we have received thank-you notes at all for wedding presents we sent, but when did it become acceptable to send out photo cards with a preprinted message? They have even gone so far as to have preprinted envelopes as well! There is no personalization, let alone a mention of any gift. I have even been told that the “thankful” couple can place their order with the printer, include the mailing list, and the printer will handle that pesky detail for them as well! They need not even be bothered with stuffing the envelopes. I may be overreacting, but I find this practice insulting. I understand that people are busy, and it is nice to see wedding photos. But is it too much to ask that the happy couple take a few seconds to jot their names and at the very least a line in their own handwriting on the back of the card about how grateful they are for the generous gift?

ALEX HARE Sept 1, 1927 - June 27, 2014

Alex Hare was born in Mayo to William (Bill) and Nora Hare. William Hare had immigrated from South Africa and became a very well known photographer in the Yukon. Alex grew up in the Dublin Gulch area and their family cabin can still be found. As a young man, Alex moved to Dawson City and one of his jobs as an equipment operator took him to the Dempster as the lead hand on the cat train punching in the right of way. A number of photographs at Eagle Plains Lodge show Alex, relaxing against machinery with his cap brim at a jaunty angle. He and his wife, Connie, moved into Whitehorse and then to Fort Nelson where as operator and mechanic, Alex worked on the highway along Muncho Lake, around Fort Nelson and Alexis Creek. When Alex retired, he was able to fulfil a life long dream….he got his pilot’s licence! His first plane was a Cessna Skyhawk followed by a 1946 Luscombe and Alex and his plane were a regular sight in the skies for the next 20+ years – whether locating cattle for ranchers or making a quick hop into a perfect fishing lake or socializing with other pilots. Along the way the Hare family grew and the latest count of children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren is 91 descendants. But this number does not include all the others – those who became informally adopted into the warm, welcoming world of Alex and Connie. Alex was a very special man, his compassion and sense of peace, his gift of love and acceptance, his sense of humor – touched many many people. And above all, the strength of the love between Alex and Connie was like a lighthouse – lighting the way for the family. Clear skies, Alex, the fish are rising and the next lake is waiting.

JOSEPH LOUIS COUTURE

passed away peacefully in the arms of his loving parents on June 29, 2014. Louis was born at 5:05pm on June 28, 2014 at BC Women’s Hospital and was gathered into our heavenly father’s warm and loving embrace the following day. During his short time here on earth he touched many lives and was deeply loved by family and friends. His life was a brief gift that will live on in our hearts and memories forever. Louis is the beloved son of Guy Couture and Kathy Ellis of Dawson City, Yukon. Louis is survived by his loving big brother Joe Couture of Dawson City, Yukon, paternal grandparents Gerald and Jan Couture of Dawson City, Yukon, maternal grandparents David and Rezna Ellis of Toronto, Ontario, and his many aunts, uncles, cousins and so many dear friends.

KEITH CALVIN

SCHRADER

Beloved husband of Yoshi Schrader of Lethbridge, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Saturday, July 5, 2014 at the age of 81 years. Besides his loving wife, he is survived by two sisters LaRayne Carroll of North Vancouver, BC and Marlene Johnson of Ontario, one brother Neil Schrader of Vancouver, BC, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, including one special niece Kimball Fletcher and her children of North Vancouver, BC. Keith is also survived by two children from a previous marriage. He was predeceased by his parents Lilah and John Schrader, one brother Owen and one son Russell. Keith was born August 31, 1932 in Rimbey, AB. He was raised and educated in Calgary. Keith enjoyed working in many places but spent over 40 years in the Yukon and part of those years as Housing Supervisor for the Yukon Government along the Alaska Highway, as well as a self employed contractor. Keith was easily recognizable by his handle bar moustache and his great sense of humor. He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed. A Celebration of Keith’s Life will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB on Saturday, August 9, 2014 at 11:00 A.M. In memory of Keith memorial donations may be made to the Lethbridge Humane Society (SPCA), 2920–16 Avenue North, Lethbridge, Alberta, T1H 5E9.

In lieu of ﬂowers we would be honoured to have you support the BC Women’s Hospital Neonatal ICU at: Kathy Ellis’s online fundraising page through BC Women’s Hospital website (www.bcwomens.ca). A private family graveside was held in Dawson City, Yukon.
