he current wildfire season is shaping up to be a historic one. Sporadic wet weather and lower temperatures have kept blazes in the territory at bay throughout the summer. Wildland Fire Management has only recorded 28 fires to date, which have burned 740 hectares of land. That’s a far cry from the 144 fires that burned just over 200,000 hectares of land last year. Fire information officer George Maratos said there have never been fewer wildfires in a year. “We’ve been tracking them for approximately 50 years,” he said. “It’s been a very unusual year.” The five-year average is 99 fires and 125,000 hectares burned, he added. Maratos said there haven’t been any significant fires to battle this season, which has made Yukon firefighters more available to help in other jurisdictions. Twenty-five of them were dispatched to the N.W.T., where more than 340 fires have burned roughly 2.8 million hectares of land this summer, while 17 are lending assistance in B.C. Other personnel, such as division supervisors and agency representatives, are also helping in those jurisdictions. Premier Darrell Pasloski announced this morning that any N.W.T. residents displaced by fires in that territory would be welcome here in the Yukon. “It has been a challenging year of forest fires for the Northwest Territories and we understand that their resources are stretched,” Pasloski said in a news release. “With that in mind, I contacted Premier (Bob) McLeod to let him know that our doors are open to our neighbours in the N.W.T.” The Emergency Measures Organization would co-ordinate the effort, should the N.W.T. take up Yukon’s offer for help. Maratos said weather conditions have created the “perfect recipe” for a slow fire season. Even Dawson and Carmacks, which typically get less rain, have been getting showers this summer.

A firefighter prepares to board a plane to support N.W.T.’s wildland firefighting efforts on July 31.
“Typically we’ll get air tanker requests in late May, early June,” Maratos said. “But we didn’t see any until midJuly this year.” Most fires in the territory are started by lightning strikes but a small percentage are human-caused. “Hats off to Yukoners, who have done a good job of burning responsibility and making sure their fires are out,” he said. At this time in 2013, Yukon firefighters were working hard to contain fires in Dawson, Mayo, Carmacks, Teslin and Whitehorse.
The worst wildfire season on record in the territory was in 2004, when 261 fires burned 1.74 million hectares of land. As of Aug. 5, the fire danger rating for Yukon communities was low to moderate. Carmacks has seen the most fires this year with eight. Campfires are permitted outside of Whitehorse city limits and the public is reminded that burning permits are mandatory for any burning of brush, grass or debris.

The Yukon government has agreed to increase funding for Yukon’s legal aid up to $2.1 million. Legal Aid is funded through a combination of federal and territorial money. This increase of about $500,000 is coming entirely from the territorial side of things. Federal money is currently frozen, meaning it will not be increased. Before this increase, $864,000 of legal aid’s $1.639 million in core funding came from the federal
government. But lawyers with legal aid lobbied the government for more core funding. They argued it is difficult to plan a year’s budget when they are dependant on top-ups every year. A total of $435,000 in additional cash was given to the organization this past fiscal year. In April they were given $235,000 on top of $200,000 last October. Legal aid was provided with an extra $180,000 in the 2010-11 year to cover high-cost cases before the courts. A year later the government gave another $235,000 in one-time funding to cover more cases.
Last October, Justice Minister Mike Nixon ordered his department to review legal aid’s budgetary needs. In an interview yesterday, Nixon said increasing the budget was the right thing to do. “We said all along that it’s important for the Yukon government to ensure that there’s access to justice for Yukoners. This seemed to be the best option to implement our government’s platform commitment to Yukoners to protect and support the family by offering and improving services to families engaged in the justice system.” (Ashley Joannou)

Ross River and territory head to court over hunting licences Ashley Joannou News Reporter
T
he same expanse of Ross River territory that was the focus of a lengthy lawsuit over mining rights is back in court. This time the case is over big game hunting licences and seals. The Ross River Dena Council has taken the territory to Yukon Supreme Court, arguing that the government has a duty to consult and accommodate the First Nation prior to issuing big game hunting licences and seals under the Wildlife Act. Environment Minister Currie Dixon said the lawsuit came as a surprise and that the case could have legal ramifications across the country. The First Nation is asking the court to find that the failure to consult with and accommodate the Ross River Dena Council prior to issuing hunting licences and seals is inconsistent with the honour of the Crown and is a breach of the government’s duty to consult. Issuing licences and seals by the government “might adversely affect the aboriginal title, rights and interests of the Ross River Dena Council’s members in and to the Ross River Area,” according to the lawsuit. Dixon said his department was surprised to hear the court action had been filed. “We hadn’t received any indication, either at the officials
level or the political level, that there was any concern with the way we were issuing hunting licences and wildlife tags.” The lawsuit came just as hunting season was about to begin, but Dixon said it doesn’t appear to affect this year’s hunts. “Licences and seals that have been issued remain valid and legitimate and Yukon’s current hunting laws and regulations remain in effect and unchanged,” he said in a statement. Dixon said First Nations are involved in a number of processes around the territory’s wildlife. “In Yukon we undertake wildlife inventories and monitor wildlife populations as closely as possible. First Nations often participate in this work and information is regularly shared with them. We have processes in place, including direct engagement with First Nations, to address limitations on harvesting and develop necessary
note as well.” Meanwhile, Environment Yukon spokesperson Nancy Campbell said the department is still matching up game management subzones to the land mass in question. That has to happen before she can say for sure whether there are any special permit hunts allowed in the area, she said. The landmass in question is about 63,000 square kilometres in the north end of the Kaska traditional territory. It covers the communities of Ross River and Faro. A staking ban in Ross River Dena Council territory was recently extended to January 31, 2015. A 2012 Yukon Court of Appeal decision found that the Yukon government violates the regulation for wildlife harvest in keeping an eye on this case. rights of the First Nation by “An unsettled First Nation response to conservation conallowing staking on its territory cerns or other wildlife interests,” requesting to be consulted and without consultation. accommodated on the issuhe said.

Watson Lake pilot walks away from violent crash Myles Dolphin News Reporter

ohn Stubenberg knew there was something terribly wrong with his single-engine Piper floatplane when he noticed the oil temperature gauge skyrocket suddenly. A few seconds later, he heard a loud bang and the cockpit filled with smoke. “That’s when I got scared,” he said. The Watson Lake resident miraculously walked out of the wreckage Friday after engine trouble forced him to land in a wooded area near Quartz Lake, approximately 75 kilometres northeast of the town. Stubenberg and his wife bought a trap line in that area a few years ago and were making repairs to their cabin last week. After making a trip to Watson Lake and back, he was heading to the community when the
plane began acting up. Just as he was ascending out of Quartz Lake, he noticed the engine was “running very rough.” After the bang, he turned the aircraft around and headed towards the water. His windscreen was covered in oil and the propeller wasn’t wind milling, so he knew the engine had seized up. “That’s when your training kicks in,” he said. “You pick a spot and you line up for it. I remembered the old bush pilots saying not to head into the dead trees because they end up being like spears. So I aimed for a relatively green clump and just slowed it up as best I could and put it into the trees.” It was a violent landing. The left wing of his plane hit a tree and, had it been any thicker, it might have spiraled him into the ground.
Fortunately, it broke. “I was looking at my air speed and I was down to about 60 as I was hitting the tree tops,” he said. “I pulled the stick back into my gut and the next thing I know, I came to. I don’t think I was out for a very long time. All of a sudden, I’m staring at this huge spruce tree where my windshield used to be.” Adrenaline and shock set in at that point. Stubenberg couldn’t find his glasses and was being covered in fuel. He couldn’t tell if he was 13 feet above ground or three, he said. He reached down, turned off the electrics and found his glasses next to his SPOT device and a can of bug spray. Thankful to be alive, he let out a chuckle. “That’s when my appreciation for modern technology kicked in,” he said.
He quickly activated the emergency beacon. “By the time I crawled out it was 3 p.m. and by 4:15, the Trans North helicopter was already flying overhead. I knew they were probably heading to my cabin because sometimes, if you have a violent landing, the ELTs (emergency locator transmitter) can be set off.” All planes are equipped with an ELT, which are designed to go off on impact. Stubenberg knew that his wife, who was back at the cabin, would be wondering and getting worried about a helicopter landing nearby. He was taken to Watson Lake Hospital, where he was treated for a few minor injuries. He suffered a dislocated shoulder, broken collarbone, bruised lung, a few cracked ribs and received stitches on his knee. “Given the circumstances, I’m
pretty lucky,” he said. Stubenberg has been a pilot for 15 years. He’s flown floatplanes for the past ten. He was told a spun bearing on the crank might have caused the engine trouble. Given the location of his cabin near Quartz Lake, he plans on getting another plane in the future, pending the results of the insurance investigation. “We’ll see how this thing goes but hopefully we’ll have enough to buy another one,” he said. He wanted to thank Nick Falloon, the Trans North helicopter pilot, and Eric Robson, the RCMP officer, who both hiked through a wooded area to find him. He was also thankful for the care he received from Dr. Quong and the staff at Watson Lake Hospital, as well as the ambulance crew, he said. Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

Food bank recieves much-needed boost About 20 shoppers filed into the Real Canadian Superstore in Whitehorse on Saturday morning, loading their carts with items destined for the Whitehorse Food Bank.

larger scale projects and more complete bodies of work for Yukon artists. The award was bolstered after a request from the council asking for increased funding. They were aware that lotteries revenue was increasing, had the figures to back it up,
and felt confident asking for a larger slice of the pie, said Avery. The applications are evaluated by a jury of peers, with a different set of jurors for each intake. If 10 musicians apply for the funding but only two writers, for example, the jury
president, was expecting the food drive to raise around $1,500. The total rang in at $6,390. “I was reduced to tears in the frozen food aisle,” said Sikorski. The money was used to replenish the barren shelves at the food bank. Essential items like canned vegetables and meat were purchased, as were personal items like feminine care products, toothbrushes and toothpaste. The unexpected surplus also allowed
for the purchase of juice boxes for kids, extra granola bars and cookies. “The total was much higher than I had anticipated,” said Sikorski. “We live in an amazing community, we really do.” The shoppers all met at Tim Hortons early Saturday morning, where they divvied up lists of needed items and partnered into shopping teams. At the Superstore parking lot, food bank executive director Stephen DunbarEdge greeted the teams as they pushed their carts outside. Together they filled up the food bank van and a trailer supplied by the union. Union chapters – including the City of Whitehorse,

There were also about 1520 individual food donations from union members, valued at roughly $50 each, in addition to the drive. The food bank has been unable to fill food baskets for the past several months but after this weekend’s drive, Sikorski said the shelves are looking “pretty stocked.” The food drive fits into Y010’s mandate of “unions putting ‘unity’ back into the community,” said Sikorski.

Avery recalled when carver Ken Anderson first applied, at 18-years-old, and said the award helped push him forward in his career. “I remember when he was just starting out, now he has beautiful, incredible work in the permanent collection and it’s being sold all over the place. “It’s these kinds of funds that allow an artist to study or take some time to complete a body of work.” Avery also highlighted the importance of local art for the tourism sector. “When you walk around and look at the art in our town or look at our tourism buildings, it very much reflects how important art is to our culture and economy.” “We saw this as an opportunity where we can make a real difference in Yukoners’ lives, especially in the arts,” said Nixon. “We’re pleased to move forward with it.”

Bebchuk, Alon Brav, and Wei Jiang showed that stocks rose nearly six per cent after activist investors got involved and that the gains were not temporary. Unfortunately, the study only went to 2007. Since then a new breed of activist investors, led by companies like JANA and Pershing Square Capital Management, have come to the forefront. These companies no longer have the low-hangingfruit of poorly managed companies to pick and are targeting large asset heavy companies, but their record is less success than their predecessors. CP Rail is often touted as a success story for activist investors. Looking solely at earnings, it would be hard to argue against this point. Company profits rose 28 per cent after Pershing Square gained control. It claims this was done through narrowing the efficiency gap between CP and its rivals – basically faster average train speeds, nine per cent longer trains, and reducing the workforce by nearly 30 per cent.
Taylor House eviction came without warning On behalf of the Yukon Heritage Resources Board, I would like to thank the heritage and public communities for their support and assistance, both for us and for the territory’s heritage assets. We would, however, like to address an inaccurate statement from Friday’s Yukon News article about Taylor House. While the board had been made aware that the commissioner was interested in obtaining the Taylor House for his office, at no time until the board received the eviction notice last week were we made aware that a decision had been made to undertake the change in tenant. This was despite repeated requests to be kept apprised of any decisions that had been made and to be provided, should the decision be made to transfer the building to the commissioner, with sufficient notice to identify and move into suitable new accommodations. After we were made aware in late 2012 of the commissioner’s interest, the board clarified for the Yukon government the board’s work and other uses of the building under the board’s tenure and provided letters of support from the heritage community for the board’s tenancy, whereupon the board’s lease for the building was renewed through April 2014, with automatic conversion to a monthto-month lease thereafter. As recently as June of 2014, however, Yukon government representatives had assured the board that no decisions about a change in occupancy had been made, no
changes were immediately imminent, and that if a decision to change tenants were to be made, the board would receive considerable notice. The board was advised to continue operations as normal, including arranging for uses and maintenance of the Taylor House over the coming months. While the fact that the Yukon government had considered transferring tenancy to the commissioner did not come as a surprise, that the decision had been made to do so and the short notice to vacate the building certainly did. The board is encouraged that funds have now been found to undertake long-recognized and much-needed structural repairs to Taylor House and that the historic character of the building will be retained well into the future. We wish the commissioner all the best in continuing a long tradition of sharing and interpreting the history of this exceptional historic site.
last summer. My kids and my family have enjoyed watching you over the past decade, either in the passenger seat driving on the Alaska Highway, or with club in hand enjoying an afternoon of golf. I personally am grateful to have witnessed your family going about the work you needed to do to survive. It was always an amazing moment to just stop and watch for a few seconds, whether it was you swimming the pond along hole seven with a tree firmly grasped in your mouth, or crossing the green on hole six. When the snow fell and the fairways and greens were blanketed white, it was always comforting to know that there was an entire family huddled together to wait it out. I am proud to call myself a Canadian and a Yukoner, though today I don’t know why. Please, can Environment Yukon stop advocating the killing of animals.

Farewell, beaver family I would like to thank the family of beavers that lived at the Meadow Lakes Golf Club. It is hard to improve upon this beautiful golf course, but you did. It was so nice as a golfer to finally visualize a chance at a second shot being shaped over the dogleg for a potential eagle putt on the coming home hole. Thank you for logging that hill
The fix was in for Whitehorse LNG What sould readers take away from Yukon Energy’s natural gas plans? At the recent World Economic Forum, the former U.S. vice president Al Gore reported that within six years, 80 per cent of the world’s population will live in regions where solar power costs will be equal to or less than
In reality, the gains came from selling real estate assets, differing capital expenditures, but mostly from increased oil transportation which grew from virtually nothing to 200,000 bpd in 2013, and which is expected to rise to 700, 000 bpd by 2016. Even without the changes made by Pershing Square, CP still would have increased profits simply by the inertia of previous management decisions. Companies that have not heeded short-term activism of value investors have also not failed, as many think. Dow Chemical was targeted by Third Point investors who pushed for a separation of its commoditypetrochemical and specialty chemical businesses. Dow rejected Third Point’s breakup proposal and has begun implementing modest divestitures that will allow it to improve its economic metrics at the same time as it maintains a long-term strategy. The share price is up 20 per cent this year and over 50 per cent from a year ago.
Another example is Agrium, which successfully defeated a boardroom challenge from JANA in 2013. JANA wanted to split Agrium’s fertilizer production operations from its farm products retail unit – a short term strategy that would have adversely impacted future efficiencies. Agrium convinced shareholders its long-term strategy was the best way forward and the share price is currently up nearly 20 per cent from its 52 week low. In the world of activist investors “cash is king” but in the real world cash reigns equally with “long-term sustainability.” Canadians should look at the example of Apache to see what can happen when short-term objectives trump long-term strategy and realize the dangers companies seeking a quick buck can make to our resource industry.

new high school and community hospitals. A single example, Germany, can illustrate what can happen when citizens and governments agree that it’s worth investing in clean, carbon-free power – a policy that many Yukon citizens have been advocating for years. Despite being a country with average solar irradiation levels – worse than Alaska – Germany has become the world’s solar leader, with solar power recently providing up to fifty per cent of the country’s daily total electricity demand. Germany has also found that if producers could store solar energy cheaply, that would help to even out the electricity price roller coaster. It is a fortunate coincidence that the Yukon, with its large under-developed wind and solar power potential, recently hosted a conference on energy storage systems; but no news yet on any practical follow-up action by the YTG or by Yukon Energy. An important take away for the next territorial election may be that many Yukoners are well aware that the world and many jurisdictions in Canada are already adopting policies and systems that reward clean, renewable power producers. These kinds of developments are economic engines that can power the Yukon’s future sustainable economy and also protect its amazing natural environment. The massive involvement and public engagement concerning the Yukon Energy LNG project suggests that Yukoners already know this.
existing energy grids. He also noted that solar and wind power generation have long been seen as clean sustainable energy technologies which draw upon the planet’s most plentiful and widely distributed renewable energy sources – the sun and the wind. Yukon Energy ignored the reality of climate change actions already underway in the rest of the world and that their plans will be a contributing factor to Canada’s shameful environmental record. The YESAB process also ignored the fact that environmental protection is inherently a cross-border issue although project cumulative impacts are now widely included in environmental assessment processes. It is clear that Yukon Energy had already begun to take steps to proceed with the LNG project well before the official YESAB decision, and the government’s formal approval. It seemed the fix was in from the beginning and that the entire YESAB process was just an expensive and time consuming formality... and a sham! Recent events in the Yukon suggest public engagement has matured to a point where it is possible to envisage adaptive, evolutionary shifts in our social, economic, environmental, and energy management systems. The public, and particularly the First Nations, have demonstrated their growing capacity to become effectively engaged in recent development projects such as the Kenneth de la Barre Peel River and watershed and even social enterprises such as the Whitehorse

Raise carbon taxes, cut income taxes: IMF Julian Beltrame
ment and health costs. In a novel and rather ambitious approach, the Washington-based financial institution attempts to calculate the cost of carbon energy – coal, gas, motor diesel and natural gas – for 156 countries and proposes precise taxation levels for each country to implement. “The results confirm that many countries – advanced, emerging, and developing – are only at base camp with regard to getting energy prices right,” IMF managing director Christine Lagarde says in a foreword to the 199-page book. For Canada, getting the price right could be a shock to the system of consumers and industry. For instance, the IMF says gasoline should be taxed at about US$0.55 a litre instead of the current 36 cents, and road diesel at about US$0.64 per litre, instead of the current 42 cents. The book uses U.S. currency calculations, which means numbers in Canadian dollars are not precise,

OTTAWA he International Monetary Fund says Canada and other countries can improve their economies and environment by hiking energy taxes – while cutting them on people and capital. In a new book, Getting Energy Prices Right: From Principle to Practice, the IMF essentially endorses policies – at times advocated by the federal Liberals and NDP – calling for what some have termed a “green shift” in the taxation system. The Conservative government, however, has rejected carbon taxes. The premise of the book is that while carbon-based energy was indispensable to economic growth during the past century, it has come with considerable costs. The solution, the IMF says, is to tax energy to such a level that the revenue pays for energy’s environ-

voters have been skeptical. One way of trying to convince people they are not being gouged is for governments to cut income taxes before introducing the added carbon charges. As well, he said, carbon taxes should be phased in slowly to lessen shocks to the economy. The IMF calculates phasing in the carbon taxes to the levels it suggests would increase Canada’s gross domestic product by 1.4 per cent, reduce carbon emissions by 15 per cent and diminish deaths from air pollution by 25 per cent, the latter mostly from reducing coal use. It cautions that the numbers are estimates only, based on assumpMichelle Siu/The Canadian Press tions that can be debated, but that the overall message is valid.

The documents add that the inventory was never intended to be an exhaustive list of pollutants. “The (inventory) is a key tool for identifying and monitoring sources of pollution in Canada, but it does not provide information on all pollutants or every source of pollution.” Critics say Environment Canada’s response ignores possible cumulative effects. Nor does it consider that while fracking isn’t continuous at any one wellsite, that doesn’t mean releases aren’t continuous. “In all years, somebody’s fracking somewhere in the country,” Castrilli said. “We know many of (the chemicals) are toxic,” said Keith Stewart of Greenpeace. “There are grave concerns right across the continent about this getting into drinking water.

Smith said the agreement allows for an option to purchase an equity position in Shell’s Chukchi acreage at a later date. The agreement has been four years in the making, according to officials. Slaiby said the agreement is no indication that Shell is pulling away from the Arctic. The company, however, cannot definitively outline its plans until a legal matter is resolved, he said. Earlier this year, Royal Dutch Shell PLC announced it was suspending operations in the Alaska Arctic for 2014, at least. The company said the decision was based in part on a federal appeals court ruling that found the federal government conducted a flawed environmental review before selling $2.7 billion in oil and gas leases in the Chukchi Sea in 2008. Shell was the leading bidder in the sale, spending $2.1 billion. Since the appeals court ruling, the U.S. Interior Department has laid out a timeline for completion of a new environmental review, targeting early next year for the final decision.
In 2012, Shell drilled pilot holes and dug mudline cellars in both the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. It was not allowed to drill into oil-bearing deposits because required response equipment was not on hand. The company experienced problems in the challenging conditions in the Arctic, culminating with the drill vessel Kulluk running aground off an island near Kodiak as it was being towed across the Gulf of Alaska. After Thursday’s an-
nouncement, U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Mark Begich, D-Alaska, hailed the joint venture. Murkowski called it a wise decision on Shell’s part. “Shell’s decision to invest in the future of the region and its people should be applauded,” Murkowski said in a statement. “This announcement ensures that the people of the North Slope Borough share directly in the oil and gas bounty off their coast. It also gives locals a say in what happens near their communities.” Pine Dental Clinic would like to welcome

Chevron seeking new partner for Kitimat LNG following Apache’s exit Lauren Krugel

directors. Rather, the board’s official go-ahead will hinge on whether customers agree to sign long-term contracts covering 60 per cent of the plant’s planned production. “That is the critical decisionmaker on both timing and the investment decision.” Work is underway on assessing resource potential in northeastern B.C., getting clearance to build the Pacific Trail Pipeline and getting a better understanding of the project’s costs. Kirkland said it’s important to keep moving the project ahead so that the company can “deal knowledgeably” with potential buyers of the gas. Kitimat LNG has a permit
from the National Energy Board to export 10 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas per year. Apache said Thursday it’s getting out of the LNG business, with plans to also sell its stake in the Wheatstone project in Australia. The Houston-based company has been under pressure from activist hedge fund Jana Partners LLC to restructure. The exit from Kitimat LNG won’t detract from its value, Apache CEO and chairman said on a conference call Thursday. “Frankly, whether we’re in it or not, it is a world class project with world class reserves and frankly Chevron and Apache at this point are way ahead of anybody else in
that arena.” It was largely a matter of timing, as LNG terminals take years to build, he said. “It makes sense for someone else to own it that has a different time horizon than we do.” The Kitimat LNG project is furthest along of any of the proposed natural gas export facilities planned for Canada’s West Coast. However, Chevron and Apache have not had an easy time securing buyers for the resource, said Ed Kallio, director of gas consulting at Ziff Energy, a division of Solomon Associates. “Even though it’s a shovelready project, they’ve just had that weakness on the market end,” he said in an interview Thursday.

That assessment, conducted by the federal government, would make recommendations on which areas should be open to development and which ones should remain closed. “People in our community are not against development, they just want to do it in a sustainable way,” Natanine said.

released. The approval was given subject to 15 conditions, including having a marine mammal observer who would be stationed on the seismic vessel and be able to stop testing if an animal were spotted within 500 metres. The measure isn’t that effective, said Lindy Weilgart, a marine biologist from Dalhousie University. “They are almost windowdressing. They are better than nothing, but only just.” Even the best spotter can easily miss 80 per cent of the whales in an area, she said. Although seismic tests haven’t been conclusively tied to impacts on mammals, Weilgart said there is extensive research going back decades that links them to a wide variety of stress behaviours.

Harvests of a wide variety of fish species have fallen off dramatically near test areas. The tests have been linked to hearing damage in fish and reduced viability of their eggs. “At least 37 marine species have been shown to be affected by seismic air-gun noise,” Weilgart wrote in a paper summarizing the research. “Seismic air-gun noise must be considered a serious marine environmental pollutant.” Natanine said his community turned to the courts after its concerns were ignored by the government. “They don’t have concern regarding our concerns at all.” The community has tried to reach its MP, Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq, without success. “We haven’t heard back from her on any of this,” Natanine said.

Emmett said her group wants the mill shut down until the emissions problem is fixed. Barring that, the provincial Environment Department has to find some sort of solution, she said. “If there is no result and the mill continues to blow out this ghastly smog … the Clean Pictou Air group will certainly be taking further action,” she said, although she wouldn’t specify what that might be. Northern Pulp spokesman David MacKenzie admits his company is at an impasse with the Pictou group because closing the plant, which employs more than 250 people, isn’t an option. “If we were to shut down we would lose our employees. Our raw material suppliers would be gone and our customers would be gone.” MacKenzie said work is ongoing to find an interim solution for the mill’s aging electrostatic
precipitator, which isn’t filtering emissions to environmental standards. He said the company hopes to improve the situation during a maintenance shutdown scheduled for September. But he said the long-term solution likely won’t be in place until May 2015, when a new precipitator unit is to be installed. Nova Scotia Environment Minister Randy Delorey said his department is monitoring the increased emissions and has been assured by the province’s Health Department that there are no immediate health concerns for Pictou residents. Delorey said he was willing to wait to see what progress can be made during the September shutdown. “We will re-evaluate based on how successful that process is to see what if any steps we have to take,” he said. Pictou Mayor Joe Hawes said
the business community is at the forefront of an issue that affects everyone in the town and in surrounding communities. He said the pollution problem must be dealt with, but not at the cost of jobs at the mill. The Pictou County area has been hit hard by recent layoffs. About 300 jobs at the Convergys call centre in nearby New Glasgow will be eliminated this fall when that facility closes, and another 500 jobs will be lost at a Michelin Tire plant over the next two years. “The economy around here is not very good and we just could not afford another hit,” said Hawes, a retired mill employee with 38 years of service. He also said the province can’t walk away after giving the plant millions of dollars in taxpayerfunded loans since 2009. “It’s a catch-22 here,” he said.

partnerships in our territory.” The 19-page document, published both in English and the Tsilhqot’in language, said mining companies must sign formal exploration and benefit agreements before getting Tsilhqot’in support, and those agreements must include resource revenue from mining projects. The document also states the Tsilhqot’in people must be given priority when it comes to training and jobs, and it promises a “clear, certain process” for mining companies to engage with the nation. The policy applies to a large area of land in northern and central B.C. that the Tsilhqot’in Nation considers its traditional territory. The policy is in addition to an existing stewardship agreement between the Tsilhqot’in and the provincial government, which sets out consultation processes for resource projects in that area. “The intent is to put the expec-
tation out there and show people what our needs are, that we need benefits in our area, that we have high standards for our environment and respect for our culture,” he said. The Tsilhqot’in has a long history of asserting its rights when it comes to resource development. The nation won a decadeslong legal battle in June when the Supreme Court of Canada issued a landmark rule that rewrote aboriginal title rights. The decision recognized the Tsilhqot’in’s right to aboriginal title over 1,750 square kilometres of territory in a case that began as a dispute over logging. The area is only a small portion of what the Tsilhqot’in consider its territory. The Supreme Court victory came several months after the federal government rejected the New Prosperity mine, which the Tsilhqot’in had spent years opposing.

The Tsilhqot’in warned the proposed mine would harm water quality and fish habitat in a body of water known as Fish Lake, or Teztan Biny to First Nations. A review panel report agreed, which convinced the federal government to block the project, though the company has launched a legal challenge of that decision. Chief Joe Alphonse of Tl’etinqox, who is the Tsilhqot’in tribal chair, said the policy will ensure future projects are handled differently. “There are dozens of mineral exploration projects in our territory and this policy will clarify for those proponents, government officials and anyone else thinking of staking claims that Tsilhqot’in laws remain in force in our territory, as they have since time immemorial,” Alphonse said in a news release. “With our recent victory at the Supreme Court for title, we will continue to enforce Tsilhqot’in law throughout our territory.” The Tsilhqot’in plans to hold consultations with governments, the mining industry and the public for the next two months before finalizing the policy.

Yukon’s television boom Production companies are migrating north as the world turns its eyes in our direction

enefiting from its isolation, its natural beauty and the mystery and aura that surrounds it, the Yukon has a natural commercial pull. Outsiders are intrigued about life in the North, and a growing audience is finding an answer through their television screens. Yukon Gold, which follows four placer gold mining crews, is now entering its third season. Haines Junction veterinarian Michelle Oakley, the star of the National Geographic Channel’s Doctor Oakley, has been picked up for 10 episodes after a successful pilot run. Two other television series are casting right now. Yukon for Sale plans to bring the home-buying reality TV craze to the North. A second series, pitched by a Yukoner and produced by Proper Television and Mackenzie Delta Films, wants to document life on the trapline.
The premise of the show is pairing novice trappers with experienced ones and following their journeys into remote areas of Yukon. The companies shine a light on the Yukon, promote tourism and also spend some of their own money within the territory. Last year from March to October, Outside production companies spent $1.5 million in the Yukon. “Film productions in the summer are a huge consumer of tourism product, like hotels and car rentals,” said Iris Merritt, film and media advisor at Yukon Film & Sound Commission. Merritt and her colleagues promote the Yukon as a location for filming while also searching for production opportunities for local filmmakers. “There’s a huge interest in that kind of television right now,” Merritt said, of the observational documentary genre, or reality TV. “It’s not just the Yukon, it’s across the world, but interest
in the North is hot right now. Climate change puts us on the world stage, the price of gold, there are many things that put Yukon in the minds of people.” The Northern Film and Video Alliance works with Yukoners to get their film productions off the ground and onto any screen, whether it’s film, television, tablets or smartphones. They also provide workers for Outside production companies that come into the territory. In March, they supplied 40 workers for one production. The organization has been around since 1995 but has taken on a different shape in recent years. In the past, the focus was on below-the-line crew, the workers that aren’t necessarily paramount to production but make everything work behind in the scenes, such as grips and production sound. Now they are looking to promote Yukon’s own directors, writers and producers and help push their deals to the next level. “We want to shift away from a
total reliance on Outside productions, which are fantastic and create jobs, but we want to create a more indigenous industry,” said Traolach O Murchu, the executive director of NFVIA. A local success story can be found with Simon D’Amours. His TV documentary series Hors des Sentiers Battus (Off the Beaten Path) began production this summer. The budget for the series is an estimated $1.2 million, with funding arriving from the broadcaster TV5-UNIS and the Canada Media Fund. D’Amours is co-producing the series with Winnipeg-based production company Media RendezVous. He secured his funding by working with both the NFVIA and the Yukon Film and Sound Commission and will be able to provide jobs to four or five Yukoners because of it. Despite the Yukon’s current popularity, a spike in film production doesn’t always mean a spike in jobs. Many of the Outside produc-
tion companies that enter the territory do so on a shoestring budget and with only a few workers. Each year almost a half million dollars is earmarked for the North by the Canadian Media Fund, which is designated to help northerners get their productions off the ground. D’Amours was able to take advantage of it, but few others have. O Murchu is hoping that changes soon. He said national broadcasters want Canadian content and NFVIA is expanding its role to encourage more people and aid in the development of more Yukon content. “The outlook for the future is very good,” he said. “There’s a significant core that are saying we have the talent here, we have the skills here. There’s more sense of a scene here in the Yukon and less looking to the outside.” Contact Sam Riches at sam@yukon-news.com

Roots notches second win in Yukon marathon

Women’s half-distance champ Lindsay Carson crosses the Rotary Centennial Bridge during the Yukon River Trail Marathon on Sunday. This year’s event saw a record number of racers take part with 311 runners and walkers.

Whitehorse’s David Eikelboom, last year’s winner, placed third at 3:04:49. Eikelboom, a past Yukon cross-country champ, sliced more than three minutes off his time. “Third place, but three and a half minutes faster – I’ll take that,” said Eikelboom. “That tells me this is getting better, so that’s good news.” For the second time in three years an Anchorage runner topped the women’s marathon. Teri Buck crossed the line in 4:10:33 to win for women and place eighth overall. Sunday’s was Buck’s 35th marathon and third marathon win, with two in Alaska. “I came up and did it last year, had such a great time, I wanted to do it again,” said the 51-year-old. “We come up in our RV with bikes and kayaks and spend a couple weeks here and in Carcross. “I just love the Yukon, it’s like Alaska on steroids. It has everything.” Whitehorse’s Debra Jonasson snagged second for women and ninth overall at 4:22:41. Juneau’s Lindsay Hallvik grabbed
the No. 3 spot at 4:43:40. Whitehorse runners occupied the top three overall spots in the halfdistance event, out of 101 racers. Logan Boehmer climbed to the top of the heap with a time of 1:32:21. It was the first time the 22-year-old did the half in the River Trail. Like Roots, he was competing for Yukon at the Canada Games last summer. “It’s a tough course, but it’s fun,” said Boehmer. “It’s a good outcome for the first time running it. “I’m glad I had a hard race today, I feel good about it. It’s nice to know you pushed yourself really hard.” Jonathan Zaugg placed second for men – third overall – at 1:37:05 and North Carolina’s Art Odell came third for men – fourth overall – at 1:43:04. Whitehorse’s Lindsay Carson loves cross-country but isn’t big into marathons. She nonetheless was the fastest woman on the course for the second year in a row. She took first with a time of 1:35:06 and was second overall behind Boehmer. “This is a good, hard training run,” said Carson. “This year was really
tough, the heat definitely got to me. I didn’t have too much energy at the beginning of the race, and that can get overwhelming, so my plan of attack was to spin the whole race and not push it too hard.” Carson placed second for open women, first for women 20-24, at the 2014 B.C. 10-Kilometre Championship and placed second out of 19,377 women runners at the Vancouver Sun Run in this spring. She came fourth at last year’s Canadian National Cross Country Championships. “It’s not my ideal distance, I still do it to keep my competitive edge,” said Carson. “You can’t not race for a year. You have to have races to get up for.” Cecil Lake, B.C.’s Wendy Giesbrecht ran to second for women at 1:53:59 and was eighth overall. Whitehorse’s Kayleen Willms scooped up third for women, 10th overall, at 1:55:08. Tom Ullyett is ubiquitous in Whitehorse running events and is a regular in the marathon, but this year he tried something new.

Ullyett, racing in masters plus (50-59), took the top spot in the halfmarathon walkers division. “I decided I wanted to try a little bit of a different challenge in this event,” said Ullyett. “I’ve been in it many times, it’s a great event, and there is a walking category. Race walking is a serious sport with all levels of competition, including the Olympics and Commonwealth
Games.” Ullyett, who placed first in his division for the half-distance run in 2012, came in at 2:47:03. Saskatoon’s Paul Snider logged second for males, ninth overall, at 3:53:47. Whitehorse’s Becky Striegler posted her first walkers win for women at 2:53:29. Fellow Whitehorsians Tanya Astika and Christiane Vaillancourt
came second and third at 2:56:22 and 2:56:24, respectively. The River Trail marathon presents runners and walkers with lots of obstacles, like hills, tree roots and rocks. Ullyett came across one of the worst kinds of obstacles in the Hidden Lakes area. The grizzly kind. “I was coming down a hill and unbeknownst to me there was a sow and at least one cub,” said Ullyett.
Tom Patrick/Yukon News
Half-distance winner Logan Boehmer grabs a drink before the last big climb.
“Fortunately the grizzly slammed on the breaks and took off in the opposite direction and I slammed on the breaks and went the other direction and then stopped and waited for Tanya, Becky and Christiane to come
through. I didn’t want to go through the bear area by myself.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

The 31-year-old nonetheless produced three top-10 finishes on the track, helped a teammate win a medal, and came 14th in the men’s time trial on Thursday. “It was a nice course. Challenging with a lot of variety,” said Bell in an email to the News, describing the 38.4-kilometre course. “For me it was not a bad ride but not great. We have focused in on the track and team pursuit in particular over the last month. Most of my other events have been neglected as a result.” Bell capped the Games with a did-not-finish in Sunday’s road race. Only 12 of the 139 cyclists completed the race, with no Canadians crossing the line. Bell had only one other road

race under his belt since breaking his collarbone in a crash in New Mexico at the start of May. “It was one of the craziest courses I have seen. Really technical,” said Bell. “Really only room for 20 or so guys to race at any given point. There was also a lot of rain. And a variety of surfaces. It was not that anything went wrong for us. It was just how it played out. I personally was on some tires I was not familiar with and coming back from my crash was still a bit hesitant. I was tired from the trip and training. Generally just not in a good place to perform in that race in particular. I would have liked to perform better but in the end I rode well where I prepped well. That’s to be expected.” Bell, who won the omnium with three gold medals at last year’s Canadian Track Championship, did some heavy lifting for the team in Glasgow’s velodrome.
He helped the Canadian men’s team take fourth in the 4,000-metre team pursuit. Bell then rode to fifth in the 40-kilometre points race, to finish as the top Canadian. He also placed 10th in the 20-kilometre scratch race, a race in which teammate Remi Pelletier-Roy of Longueuil, Que., took bronze. Bell won a bronze medal in the scratch race at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. “I was a really big reason my teammate won a medal – in the same event I did in India. I had the strength to win one but in the end the team tactics meant we played another card and achieved the result. Would l Iike to have the hardware? Of course. But I feel just as accomplished for contributions I made to the team at this event.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Compound fracture ends Laverdure’s run for gold at Commonwealths

Watson Lake’s Brittanee Laverdure, left, faces India’s Babita Kumari in the women’s 55 kilogram final at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, on Thursday. Laverdure took silver after withdrawing from the bout with a broken finger.
Tom Patrick News Reporter
T
he sight of one’s own bone protruding through the skin is disturbing, to say the least. But Watson Lake wrestler Brittanee Laverdure is as tough as nails. Her response to a compound fracture to her left pinky finger was hard-boiled: patch it up and get me to the podium. She did, after all, have a medal to collect. With the loss in the truncated gold medal match, Laverdure took silver in the women’s 55-kilogram weight class at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, on Thursday. “I’m happy, it’s a good stepping stone. And I’m proud of it,” said Laverdure in an email to the News. “I’m excited heading into the next year and to keep building.” Laverdure lost the gold medal to India’s Babita Kumari by a score of 9-2. Other than breaks to her nose, it’s only the second time Laverdure suffered a broken bone in competition. Her first was a hairline fracture in her leg during the 2008 Olympic trials. She already had a black eye sustained during training before the start of the Games when a partner’s finger got jammed in her eye. “Not sure (how it happened), I think off my own shot,” said Laverdure of last week’s fracture. “The
injury seems to already be healing up, I’ll take the stitches out in a few days and buddy tape my pinky and carry on training.” Laverdure’s gold-medal bout was one of seven between Canada and India at the Games, five of which ended in Canada’s favour. Canada won 12 of 42 available medals in wrestling including seven gold, which is a Games record for the team. Canada tied Nigeria for second in wrestling medals behind India, which took 13 medals but just five gold. All seven female competitors on Canada’s wrestling team, including Laverdure, won a medal. Laverdure was right in the middle as three teammates won gold and three won bronze. “The wrestlers killed it – 12 medals!” said Laverdure. Canada bagged a total of 32 gold, 16 silver and 34 bronze for a total of 82 medals to place third in the medal standings at the quadrennial event, up from fourth at the 2010 Games with 76 medals. England topped the list with 174 medals, ahead of second place’s Australia with 137. Laverdure, who competes out of the Dinos Wrestling Club in Calgary, where she is a lawyer, breezed through her opening bout in Glasgow with a 10-0 win over Cameroon’s Joseph Essombe Tiako.
She then had a tougher challenge against Nigeria’s Ifeoma Nwoye. Laverdure scored two in the second period for a close 6-4 win. “Nigeria, she was tough,” said Laverdure. “I actually tried some counters and they didn’t work, and she ended up scoring, so I had to adjust in the match as she was physically strong.” Glasgow marked both Laverdure’s first Commonwealth Games and her first major Games. She has twice been first alternate for Canada’s Olympic teams. She has every intention of competing for Canada at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “It was great, but also exhausting,” said Laverdure. “Lots of highs and lows.” “Congratulation to Brittanee,” said Team Canada cyclist Zach Bell, who also hails from the town of Watson Lake. “She is my classmate from Watson Lake. I know how long and how hard she has worked on her craft and I am happy to see her receiving the results from those efforts. I know it is a Winter Olympics year but I think she should be (Sport Yukon’s) athlete of the year this year. She is a great role model for northern kids, and people all over the territory should know her name if they don’t already.” Bell registered three top-10 finishes in track cycling at the Games before switching to road on Thurs-
day. He placed 14th in the men’s time trial and did not finish on Sunday’s road race. Only 12 of 139 cyclists reached the finish line in the road race. The Commonwealths silver is the second in a row for Laverdure on the international stage. The 32-year-old won silver in the 53-kilogram weight division at the Pan-American Wrestling Championships in Mexico City in the middle of July. Laverdure has also been named to Team Canada for the FILA World Wrestling Championships this September in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. She earned a spot on the team for the 55-kilogram weight class with a pair of wins during world
team trials in Guelph, Ont., early last month. She then stayed in Guelph to compete at the Canada Cup the next day and took gold in the women’s 53-kilogram division. The world championships in Uzbekistan will be Laverdure’s fourth. She won a bronze at the 2008 world championships in Japan and also took two fifth-place results at worlds in 2007 and 2012. Laverdure had shoulder surgery last summer and returned to competition after eight months away to win gold in the 53-kilogram weight class at the 2014 Senior National Championships in March.
