ukoners are fundraising to help families affected by last weekend’s deadly crash. There were four young people in a Honda Accord in the early hours of Saturday when it turned into the path of a transport truck. The accident took the lives of Clare Cherepak, 15, and Brendan Kinney, 20. Derrick Gibbons, 18, was medevaced to Vancouver General Hospital following the crash. “Derrick’s family has asked to let everyone know he is still in critical but stable condition and is staying strong,� a representative of the family said Thursday. “Derrick’s family’s thoughts and prayers go out to the other victims and their families at this difficult time.� The 15-year-old driver of the car was treated for injuries at Whitehorse General Hospital and released. The driver of the truck was not harmed. A website, www.prayersforourfriends.com, has been set up to collect donations for the Kinney and the Gibbons families. “If you have found your way to this page you are more than likely aware of the tragedy that happened here in Whitehorse Saturday, Aug. 9,� reads the website. “This page has been started to help the families impacted by the event. Special thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with all of the families during this time of sorrow.� Donations can be made online through PayPal, or in person at the Scotiabank in Whitehorse. For both families, use transit #70920 and institution #002. For the Kinneys, ask for account

Correction Our transcription of a handwritten letter by Dan Kemble of Carcross in Wednesday’s edition contained two significant goof-ups.

complainant has not exhausted grievance or review procedures which are otherwise reasonably available or procedures provided for under another act,” or if “the substance of the complaint has already been dealt with in another proceeding.” Lois Moorcroft was on the Yukon Human Rights Commission when these changes were being made. Now an MLA and the NDP’s Justice critic, Moorcroft says this interpretation of the law has never been brought up in the past and is not what the changes were intended to do. “It was not the intent of those 2009 amendments to make hu-
man rights unavailable to a whole category of people. It was intended to manage resources more efficiently and to provide for greater efficiency in the system.” Legislative debates over the changes make no mention of limiting the commission’s authority. “I’m appalled with the very idea that human rights stop at the front door of the correctional centre,” said Moorcroft. “I think it shows this minister’s failure to understand the basic principles of human dignity. Human rights and access to justice should be available for everyone including people who are charged with a criminal offence.”
Justice Minister Mike Nixon refused an interview request for this story. The Yukon Human Rights Commission has said it disagrees with the Department of Justice but won’t say whether it will go to court to fight for its right to investigate. Moorcroft said she thinks some sort of court intervention might be helpful to resolve the matter. “It is wrong to preclude an entire category of people from having their human rights respected because they’re being held at a corrections centre, and it was never the intent of the Human Rights Act,” she said. Officials have confirmed that multiple human rights complaints have been filed against the Whitehorse Correctional Centre. No one is providing any specific details. The only complaint that has been made public so far is on behalf of an inmate who was brought naked to a video court appearance, shackled and pinned to the floor by jail guards. It claims he was kept in solitary confinement for 28 months. The Department of Justice denies that claim. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

years. The case would eventually end up in front of the Yukon Court of Appeal to determine if it was constitutionally allowed to house a person found not criminally responsible in a jail. In the end Germaine lost her appeal. But the panel of judges noted: “this conclusion should not be taken to justify the continued use of WCC, or any prison, as a hospital for (not criminally responsible) accused generally.” As part of the appeal, the Yukon government filed an affidavit by Joanne Fairlie, the assistant deputy minister of health. It says the government was providing funding to the hospital corporation “to establish a special unit at Whitehorse General Hospital for patients with psychiatric problems requiring short term or intermediate care.” It’s now called the secure medical unit, and it’s part of Whitehorse General Hospital. While Health officials now assert the unit is not for inmates, it sounds
like that’s what the appeal judges thought was going to happen. In their decision, they wrote: “While this evidence is not relevant or necessary to the conclusions reached on this appeal, I would simply note that these developments may remove the serious concerns raised about the use of WCC as a ‘hospital.’” Health spokesperson Pat Living maintains the special unit is not for inmates with serious mental disorders. But she was less than clear about why it couldn’t be used for non-violent people who have been found not criminally responsible. Security would have to be increased, she said. Why, then, did the government file the affidavit in the Germaine case, which specifically dealt with using the jail as a hospital? “The purpose was to demonstrate that we were actually taking some actions around psychiatric care facilities within the Yukon,” said Living. She said the hospital has been used in the past by inmates. But
she said she couldn’t give specifics because of privacy concerns. The unit “was not intended specifically for individuals at the WCC. It was intended for the general Yukon population, which could include WCC inmates.” Then she suggested that maybe the intent of the unit had “evolved.” Living said people who were around when the affidavit was signed have changed. “If we go back to 2009, the deputy was different, the minister was different, the ADM of health was different, the director of mental health services was different. I think the only person who’s still around is me, and I can’t speak to why somebody filed an affidavit.” From cabinet, meanwhile, there’s silence. Justice Minister Mike Nixon, Health and Social Services Minister Doug Graham and Premier Darrell Pasloski have all refused to comment on mental health and human rights concerns at the jail.

Hureau refused his original lawyer, and without one, Lilles’s order would technically consider him unfit. But if he is unfit, how can he get a new lawyer, or even apply to legal aid? Hureau was asking the court to give him until October to find a lawyer and go to trial on the charges. Waiting until October would just add to a difficult situation, Marcoux said. “We’re trying to get him out of custody.� Hureau is being held at the jail because it is legally designated a hospital in the Yukon. His family says, according to court documents, that he “does not have a criminal bone in his body, but he’s just gotten out of touch with reality.� The Criminal Code of Canada defines being “unfit to stand trial� as being unable, because of a mental disorder, to conduct a defence, or to instruct counsel to do so. Lawyer Bob Dick was ordered by the court to represent Hureau at the hearing. Outside the court he said he’s going to do everything he can to help his client. That might include an application to just have Hureau released because of how long he has been behind bars. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

First Nations collaborate on mining agreements Myles Dolphin News Reporter
L
eaders and land managers from various Yukon First Nations gathered in Whitehorse on Wednesday to attend a one-day workshop on how to negotiate better agreements with mining companies. Nineteen delegates participated in the event, which was organized by the Firelight Group and Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation and held at the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre. Sarah Newton, manager of lands and resources at Liard First Nation, said the workshop is important because it clears some of the misconceptions that are inevitably associated with those important agreements, struck between First Nations and mining companies. “Our agreements with proponents are the most powerful mechanism to gain benefits from projects,� she said. “These agreements are crucial to the future prosperity of aboriginal communities. We received good strategies to ensure the communities are involved and their needs are considered with these agreements.� Thirteen advisors were on hand to provide one-on-one dialogue and help those in attendance get a better grasp of the contractual agreements their communities sign with companies. Ginger Gibson, director of the Firelight Group, facilitated Wednesday’s event. She said the workshop was a safe place for information to be shared among Yukon First Nations. “We’ve been hearing about the unique characteristics in which each nation approaches making agreements with other parties,� she said.

was a good opportunity to improve the toolkit and keep it up to date. Participants and advisors also discussed the recent tailings pond breach at the Imperial Metals Mount Polley mine near Likely, B.C. Some fear the spill may have contaminated a number of waterways upstream of several Yukon First Nations communities, although water quality tests at the site have come back within drinking water guidelines and provincial
health officials insist the spill won’t adversely affect fish. Negotiator Allen Edzerza said Mount Polley is proof that First Nations need to have steps in place to do certain actions, should similar accidents occur in their communities. “People are connected to the land and it’s their responsibility to protect it for future generations,� he said. “The First Nations up here have a long history of negotiation experience. They’ve dealt
with big issues around land and wildlife and serious environmental concerns.� Edzerza mentioned the toxic mess BYG Natural Resources Inc. left behind after they closed down the Mount Nansen gold and silver mine in 1999. He also singled out the Faro mine site remediation project. “When you take a look at Mount Polley, you realize that Yukon has had its own Mount Polley.� Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

The outcome of that report will help to determine if it is financially viable to get the former operating gold mine near Dawson City back up and running. “It’s a first step to make sure that it makes sense to put it into production,� said CEO Greg Hayes in an interview this week. Last year the company was denied a lower-level assessment by the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board, a move that the company said could kibosh the project altogether. Now the company is seeking to figure out if it is in its interest to go through the more rigorous and time-consuming executive committee level of screening. It’s too early to say when the mine might get back into production, said Hayes. “There’s still some significant steps to go.� (Jacqueline Ronson)

Those filtering out of the Elijah Smith building on their lunch breaks craned their necks towards the group of protesters and organizers who handed out leaflets detailing their day of action. “Calling for a just peace, here on the territory of Kwanlin Dun First Nation and Ta’an Kwach’an Council and in Palestine,” the small squares of paper read. On the sidewalk, in blue chalk, was the message: ‘Justice for Palestine, for Ferguson, and justice here.’ The noon rally, which was followed up with an evening vigil at Shipyards Park, was about calling for an end to violence in Palestine and protesting the forces of colonialism and imperialism. The organizers also spoke about the situation unfolding in Ferguson, Missouri, where protesters have clashed

with police officers following the police killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown last weekend, and of Canadian colonialism. “We cannot call for an end to the violent occupation of Palestine without naming the on-going colonization of this
continent,” said one of the event’s organizers, Robin ReidFraser. “Something needed to happen here,” said Mona Luxion, another organizer. “I think it’s important for people to have a space to come together and acknowledge
what’s happening and voice their opposition to it.” The group also spoke out against the Canadian government, its support of Israel, and inaction in regards to missing and murdered aboriginal women and environmental destruction and degradation.
“Here on this continent there must be justice for local indigenous peoples and inherent rights to self-determination in all matters, including land, must be genuinely respected,” said Reid-Fraser. Contact Sam Riches at sam@yukon-news.com

uman rights apparently don’t count inside Whitehorse Correctional Centre. That, anyhow, is an easy-to-draw conclusion, based on the Yukon government’s absurd decision to bar the Yukon Human Rights Commission from investigating inmate complaints at the jail. The Justice Department’s stated rationale for this decision is, quite simply, preposterous. It points to part of the Yukon Human Rights Act that exempts the commission from investigating complaints already handled by Ian Stewart/Yukon News other review proThe Whitehorse Correctional Centre. cesses.

the Investigations Standards Office, or ISO, which reviews inmate complaints, as one reason why they see no need for human rights investigators snooping around. Yet the ISO is only able to overturn the treatment plans of individual inmates – for broader issues, it can only issue recommendations. That helps explain why the ISO is in the midst of its third review of the jail’s segregation policies. It obviously doesn’t have the tools to get the job done. Similarly, the ombudsman – another avenue the government points to – also lacks the power to compel the government to change its practices. The human rights commission, meanwhile, does have the ability to order jail-wide policy changes. What’s more, the findings of the commission are public, whereas the ISO’s reports are kept secret – the way that justice officials like things kept. At the heart of the jail’s dysfunction is the delusional notion clung to by officials that the facility is equipped to operate as a psychiatric hospital. Clearly, it’s not. To allay concerns about this, the Yukon government promised the courts several years ago that it would build secure facilities at Whitehorse General Hospital suitable for

mentally ill inmates for short to intermediate stays. But that didn’t happen. Hospital and health officials now assert that these secure facilities are only to provide pressing, short-term medical treatment to inmates, like when someone breaks an arm. That’s why a 74-year-old man has been locked away in jail since May, after he was charged with mischief for disrupting a church service. His family pleads that he “does not have a criminal bone in his body, but he’s just gotten out of touch with reality.” Because of mental illness, he’s been deemed unfit to stand trial. So he gets a jail cell instead. It could take the review board another 45 days to decide what to do with him. That’s also why a mentally-ill 19-year-old, facing his first offence and found not criminally responsible within days of being picked up by police, had to sit in the general population of the
jail for a month while he waited for a review board hearing. So here we have a government that is flouting human rights laws by refusing to allow independent investigators into the jail, and has broken its word to the judiciary about plans to improve the treatment of mentally ill inmates. Remind us, what country are we living in? Russia? Must Amnesty International start a letter-writing campaign or something? Or could our political leaders perhaps show a bit of decency, and end this nonsense? The signs are not promising. To date, Justice Minister Mike Nixon appears to be too busy attending comic-book conventions and flipping hamburgers to answer queries on the matter. So, it looks like this will be another Yukon Party scandal to eventually be settled by the courts. In the meantime, nothing gets better inside the jail. (JT)

drive more oil and gas activity and therefore revenue. Basically, the idea is that Alaska will make back on bigger volumes what it loses on lower tax rates. On the other side are those in favour of the previous regime, which had generally higher taxes. It also was more progressive, in that the tax take increased faster as oil prices rose. Alaska is now awash in pro and con advertising. The ballot is confusingly worded, so that those in favour of Governor Parnell’s new scheme are the “No” side. This is because the question is basically whether you want to go back to the old scheme. “Yes” voters tend to be on the left side of the political spectrum, although some Republican legislators are supportive of the higher taxes. To make the campaigning even weirder, Sarah Palin agrees with the lefties who want to go back to the old system. After all, she introduced it when she was governor. Palin has launched a new online subscription channel called SarahPalinChannel.com, where for just $9.95 per month you can get privileged access to the latest Palin thinking plus quotes of the day from Ronald Reagan and a handy counter letting you know how many minutes are left in the Obama administration. You can watch an 18-minute video in which she says things
like “We have every right – and a responsibility – to value (our oil) appropriately, to demand a clear and equitable share of our oil’s value.” Governor Parnell’s spokesflunkies are unamused. The No side’s Jim Clark, former chief of staff to pre-Palin Governor Frank Murkowski, claimed at a public debate that Alaska’s take under the old regime was 72 per cent; much higher than oil states in the Gulf of Mexico where the take is closer to 50 per cent. He also said that the long trend in declining production was stopped in fiscal 2014, proving the new scheme was already working. The Yes side doesn’t buy this math. Les Gara, a Democrate from Anchorage, called the new scheme a “pathway to poverty” for Alaska and that the new system will progressively cripple the state’s revenue as new oil production ramps up under the lower tax rates. What is the average voter supposed to think about all this? Tax policy is complex, especially when combined with long-term oil price forecasts and various investment scenarios. To make matters worse, both sides have their own experts and economists. “Vote No on 1 for Alaska’s Future,” the campaign for the new system, was delighted when for-
mer Democratic governor Tony Knowles came out in support of Dr. Scott Goldsmith, professor emeritus of economics at U of A Anchorage, whose report was favorable to the No side. Meanwhile, opponents at “Vote Yes! Repeal the Giveaway” quickly attacked Knowles for being a “paid shill” for the oil companies (they later apologized). They also rolled out their own expert, Dr. Mark Meyers, former director of the U.S. Geological Survey. He rubbished Goldsmith’s report, saying that it was not submitted for peer review, didn’t publish its models and relied on unaudited data that could cause a “garbagein garbage-out” problem. This is the academic equivalent of saying “nice truck … did you lose a bet?” to a guy at the Red Dog Saloon in Juneau. The facts – several sets of them in fact – are now on the table and Alaskans will vote on Aug. 19. Meanwhile, on our big issues here in the Yukon, we just have to wait to see what our 19 MLAs decide when they get back from summer vacation some time around Hallowe’en.

Blame Hamas, not Israel, for dead Gazans Karen Walker and Wayne Tuck

hursday evening we went to the Fireweed Community Market rather late and noticed a number of chalk slogans on the pavement at the entrance to the market area. They said things like “Free Palestine” and “Stop killing children.” Clearly, we had missed a protest about the conflict in Gaza. With close friends in Israel, and having visited the country twice in recent years, we take more than a passing interest in the conflict. Like every thinking person, we abhor war and violence, and we fervently wish that the conflict in Gaza were not happening. But it is happening, and we have watched for more than a month as the world, for the most part, has spoken out only to condemn Israel, with just the odd occasional reference to the nature and tactics of the enemy it is fighting and its culpability in the conflict. We’re sure that those who demonstrated at the market today know that since taking power in Gaza in 2007, Hamas – recognized even in the Arab world as a terrorist jihadist organization – has been steadily building tunnels and launching rockets into Israel for the sole purpose of killing civilians. For the last seven years, Hamas has launched a barrage of rockets at communities, homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, and places of worship of all faiths. At times, this barrage has been an almost daily occurrence, with
little or no media reporting of it outside Israel. Although thankfully there have been few serious injuries and deaths as a direct result of these rockets, many Israeli children have been deeply traumatized by these constant attacks. Protesters here and elsewhere have surely asked themselves where the money for those tunnels and rockets and rocket launchers has come from. We ask them to imagine what the lives of Gazans would be like if the millions of dollars used to arm Hamas had been used for constructive rather than destructive purposes. What if, instead of focusing its efforts and resources on its primary goal of annihilating the state of Israel (a goal that is clearly stated in its charter), Hamas had worked to help Gazans live more productive and prosperous lives? Would there be a blockade of Gaza if its government were building schools, hospitals, businesses, and homes, rather than tunnels and rocket launch sites? The protesters must know that Hamas is not interested in a “twostate” solution; it wants Israel off the map and the Jews of the world exterminated. In its schools and television broadcasts, Hamas teaches and fosters hatred of Israel and of all Jews. Generations of children are being raised with these beliefs deeply ingrained in them. Jew hatred and anti-Semitic violence, conflated with the Gaza conflict, are on the rise everywhere, including right here in Canada.
Hamas and its fellow jihadists all over the world are not only antiIsrael and anti-Jew, by the way; they are anti-West, anti-Christian, antifemale, and anti-gay. Their hatred and violence won’t stop with Israel and the Jewish people. Sadly and tragically, the people of Gaza are bound by Hamas’s evil manifesto, whether they agree with it or not. Hamas rules with an iron fist and tolerates absolutely no dissent. Today’s protesters might recall the public executions of dozens of Fatah members and supporters immediately after Hamas assumed power in Gaza in 2007. During the present conflict, Hamas has publicly executed people accused of collaborating with Israel. These executions and numerous threats, backed up by armed might and masked faces, stand as a constant warning to anyone inside Gaza who would dare disagree or refuse to do what they are ordered to do. The world knows that Hamas fires rockets at civilian targets in Israel from residential areas, schools, mosques, and hospitals inside Gaza. People know that Hamas stores missiles in UN schools (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency itself has reported on this) and launches rockets from close by. Many of these launches have been reported on by journalists who have witnessed them with their own eyes but dared not film them or report on them until they left Gaza. When he was safely out of Hamas territory, a Spanish reporter filed a report just two days ago
about rockets being launched from a hotel where he and other journalists were ensconced. He asked, “What was their intent? To provoke Israel to kill us?” Imagine the world’s outrage, and Hamas’s delight, if Israel had returned fire and killed foreign reporters. It boggles our minds that so many people can so easily ignore these facts. Of course, they say that they are supporting the people of Gaza, not its terrorist government. So do we. Israel’s fight is with the jihadists who are running Gaza, not with the people of Gaza. Civilian injuries and deaths are a horrible and inevitable consequence of every armed conflict that has ever been or will ever be. But Hamas has taken this tragic reality to a whole new level: Israel is fighting an enemy that uses its own civilians, and especially children and women, as shields and decoys – a reprehensible and cowardly military stratagem that often results in the deaths of those children and women. The world knows about this, but for reasons we cannot fathom, people are willing to overlook it. Every dead child in Gaza, graphically reported on by the media, is an unspeakable tragedy for a family, but it is a public relations victory for Hamas. The Hamas leadership rubs its hands in glee every time the world hears about more civilian deaths and condemns Israel for them. Some reports have suggested that many civilian deaths in Gaza have in fact resulted from Hamas’s own
actions, but we don’t read or hear about this in the mainstream media. People might also ask themselves why we don’t see photographs or film footage of Hamas militants, but rather only images of civilians. Reporters who have left Gaza have stated that they believed they would have been shot if they had pointed a camera at a Hamas militant. We would ask the protesters to imagine how different the situation would be if Hamas’s rockets had succeeded in killing the thousands of Israeli families at which they have been launched over the past several years. Would Israel still be the big, bad bully in the Middle East if we were talking about dead Israelis rather than Gazans? Would there have been protests in Whitehorse to show solidarity with Israel? Finally, we would remind the protesters that right next door in Syria, Bashar al-Assad has bombed, gassed, tortured, and slaughtered 170,000 of his own people – including more than 11,000 children – over the past three years. Where and when was the protest in Whitehorse about that? Where are the protests about the Christian, Yazidi, and other minorities being beheaded, raped, and enslaved by jihadist ISIS militants right now in northern Iraq? It is the world’s great shame that our response to Arab-on-Arab violence is to wring our hands or to ignore it altogether. But when Israel is involved, the gloves come off. Karen Walker and Wayne Tuck live in Whitehorse.

Three out of 11 reporting stations already report annual averages of nitrogen dioxide above the first trigger. Six of the stations exceeded the trigger for short periods. Two-thirds of the stations reporting higher levels were near oilsands facilities. Seven stations reported hourby-hour sulphur dioxide readings above the first trigger and another two went past the second trigger. The company near one of those two stations was told to reduce its emissions and has installed a scrubber, said Bluetchen.

Although eight of the nine stations exceeding sulphur dioxide triggers were near industry, Bluetchen said more study is needed. “If we’re going to develop a mitigation plan that really addresses the issue, we need to truly narrow it down. Is it caused by one particular company? Is it caused by cumulative impact of a number of companies using a particular process? “Even if we know it’s industrial, there’s still more narrowing down and more work we need to do before we can put in place the correct type of response.” Not good enough, said Amin Asadollahi of The Pembina Institute, a clean energy think-tank. “For the government to come out and say, ‘We’ll continue to do a bit more monitoring and there’s nothing to worry about,’ that speaks to a lack of sense urgency on these matters.” Asadollahi said the industry’s own figures show contaminants are only going to increase as development continues. “It’s now time for government to act. Looking to the future, industrial modelling shows we will cross those thresholds.” The data in Thursday’s release
already dates back to 2012. Notley suggested the government is using its environmental monitoring program as an excuse to avoid taking action. “If the government is going to simply use these monitoring results as an invitation to engage in more monitoring, then it shows the whole plan is useless and it’s simply being used as a smokescreen.” Greenpeace spokesman Mike Hudema agreed. “It’s appalling that the tar sands air pollution warning light went off 18 months ago and the government still just wants to sit, wait and monitor the problem. The data is telling us that Alberta’s air quality is getting worse and, with the warning light already on, now it is time to act not delay even further.” Bluetchen emphasized that the levels of the two contaminants remain below hazardous levels. She said the government needs more information. “We need to look at what the numbers tell us over time. We understand that there are pressures in that part of the province “We don’t want to reach a situation where it becomes a serious issue.”

Bar association president Fred Headon said there are lingering concerns that comments made by Harper and MacKay have hurt the confidence of Canadians in the judicial system. “Anything that undermines confidence can have a very corrosive effect on democracy,” he told reporters. Speaking to the association, Federal Court Chief Justice Paul Crampton expressed concerns as well about how the Nadon appointment
and its fallout could affect Canadians’ opinions of the courts. The International Commission of Jurists has also urged the government to rethink the process of appointing judges, calling for an “open process with prescribed criteria based on merit and integrity and without discrimination.” There will be another Quebec vacancy on the Supreme Court to fill later this year when Justice Louis

McLachlin said she’s hopeful his replacement will have expertise similar to LeBel, though she declined to comment on the appointment process. “The Constitution places this in the government’s, the prime minister’s, hands,” she said. “It is for them to devise a process that they feel comfortable with.”

remarks, Michaelson told Hearn that Prescott’s testimony “should probably be approached with caution.” Indeed, in the decision, Hearn said he largely rejected the testimony of Prescott, but found the totality of other evidence proved
beyond a reasonable doubt that Sona was in some way involved in the scheme. Other witnesses, Hearn said, were “candid, forthright and consistent.” Boxall noted Prescott gave inconsistent answers during pre-trial
interviews with the Crown and Elections Canada. He suggested Prescott had more technical knowhow than Sona and was more likely to have been behind the calls. “Mr. Prescott is deflecting responsibility from himself and perhaps others,” Boxall told Hearn.

B.C. First Nation plans to evict company behind mine tailings spill James Keller Canadian Press
CHASE, B.C. British Columbia First Nation plans to issue an eviction notice to Imperial Metals Corp. – the company behind a massive tailings pond breach at a gold and copper mine last week – over a separate project in the band’s territory. The declaration from the Neskonlith Indian Band is the latest sign that last week’s tailings spill at the Mount Polley Mine in central B.C. could ripple across the company’s other projects and possibly the province’s entire mining industry. The Neskonlith band said the notice, which its chief planned to hand-deliver to Imperial Metals in Vancouver on Thursday, orders the company to stay away from the site of its proposed Ruddock Creek zinc and lead mine, which is located about 150 kilometres northeast of Kamloops. The mine, which is still in the development phase and has yet to go through the environmental assessment process, would be located near the headwaters of the Adams River, home of an important sockeye salmon run. The Neskonlith band opposed the mine long before the Mount Polley tailings spill. “We do not want the mine developing or operating in that sacred headwaters,” Neskonlith Chief Judy
A
Jonathan Hayward/The Canadian Press
Contents from a tailings pond is pictured going down the Hazeltine Creek into Quesnel Lake near the town of Likely, B.C. on Tuesday, August, 5, 2014.
Wilson said in an interview this week. “Our elders have stated very clearly that they do not want anything poisoning our water or our salmon.” An earthen tailings dam at the Mount Polley Mine failed on Monday of last week, releasing millions of cubic metres of water and mine tailings into surrounding lakes, rivers and creeks. Water quality tests have come back within drinking water guidelines and provincial health officials insist the spill won’t adversely affect fish, but local First Nations leaders remain unconvinced. Wilson said the Mount Polley spill shows the company cannot be trusted to build and operate a mine
while also protecting the surrounding environment. “The industry has proven at Mount Polley that they can’t regulate all of that,” she said. Wilson said Neskonlith band councillors planned to consult elders and members of their community about how to enforce the eviction, but she said it would likely involve blockades if the company doesn’t comply. A spokesperson for Imperial Metals wasn’t immediately available to comment. The Mount Polley spill is also overshadowing another Imperial Metals project, the Red Chris gold and copper mine in northwestern B.C.
Last week, a group of members of the Tahltan First Nation called the Klabona Keepers announced plans to blockade the Red Chris site in response to the Mount Polley spill. It’s not clear what impact the blockade has had on the mine, which is currently under construction and nearing completion. The Tahltan Central Council issued a statement last Friday, saying the council doesn’t endorse the blockade but wants to listen to the group’s concerns. The company has been discussing a potential benefit agreement with the Tahltan, but Chad Day, president of the central council, has said the Mount Polley spill raises “new ques-
tions and concerns” that Imperial Metals must now address. Grand Chief Stewart Phillip. of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs. said there’s no question the Mount Polley spill will make it more difficult for mining companies to earn the support of First Nations. “I think the Mount Polley disaster will have a profound impact on the mining industry throughout the entire province,” said Phillip, who said the province, the federal government and the mining industry all share in the blame. “The Mount Polley disaster is being viewed as a consequence of what happens when you simply abrogate your responsibilities.” Pine Dental Clinic would like to welcome

ment. It’s not great for you, but it’s certainly – as many studies have shown – not worse for you than cigarettes or alcohol.â€? Last November, Trudeau was again asked about marijuana while campaigning for the local Liberal byelection candidate in Manitoba. A journalist covering the event tweeted that Trudeau was asked if he would legalize marijuana and he said he would – but he also said the drug was bad for children and it’s safer for the government to control access to it.

lucrative marijuana trade.
What they say
The Canadian Press contacted both Fantino and Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices about the flyer. Since the flyer refers to multiple â&#x20AC;&#x153;schools,â&#x20AC;? Fantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office was asked about other schools where Trudeau has spoken about marijuana. In an emailed response, spokeswoman Ashlee Smith did not identify other schools, nor did she provide evidence to substantiate the claim that Trudeau has spoken to students about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;benefits of marijuanaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as opposed to stating his position. In a follow-up phone call, Smith did not provide the name of any other schools or a specific example of Trudeau speaking to students about the benefits of marijuana. Her statement says Trudeau has â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely disregarded the health and safety of Canadians by continuing to ignore the consequences of marijuana use, particularly where children and teenagers are concerned.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen several instances of this, including when he spoke at a school to children and teenagers about the legalization of marijuana, highly inappropriate and completely lacking in judgment which is par for the course with Justin Trudeau,â&#x20AC;? she wrote. The Liberals call the flyers a Conservative â&#x20AC;&#x153;distortion.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their charge is based on a distortion of a visit Mr. Trudeau made to Brandon during the recent byelection, when he spoke to an audience of high school students and adults at the Sioux Valley First Nation school,â&#x20AC;? spokesman Cameron Ahmad said in an email.
V
â&#x20AC;&#x153;He responded to a question from the audience about legalization of marijuana, and iterated our position after explaining the dangers of drug use.â&#x20AC;? Ahmad said Trudeau has only ever spoken to two elementary schools since becoming Liberal leader: the one in Manitoba and one in Dryden, Ont., during a Skype chat this past March. Trudeau did not discuss marijuana during the Dryden school Skype chat, Ahmad added. Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, said these sorts of accusations only work if they contain an element of truth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Had Trudeau not said anything about marijuana â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had he said that he was against its legalization â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then had this come out, the Conservatives would have been pilloried from top to bottom,â&#x20AC;? Wiseman said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;But now they can say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No, no, no. These are the implications of what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
The verdict
Trudeau has said the Liberals would legalize marijuana if they form the next government. He has also said that the drug is no worse than cigarettes or alcohol. And he has admitted to smoking pot one time since becoming an MP in 2008. But the Liberal leader has also acknowledged the drugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harmful effects and has said legalization would make it more difficult â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not easier â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for children to get their hands on marijuana. At the Manitoba school, Trudeau spoke about legalization. There is no evidence that he spoke about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;benefits of marijuana,â&#x20AC;? as Fantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flyer claims.

Nor is there any evidence that Trudeau has ever spoken about marijuana at any other school, counter to the flyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that he â&#x20AC;&#x153;visited schools to tell kids that pot should be legal.â&#x20AC;? It would be accurate to say Trudeau visited a single school and, in response to a question about marijuana, said he favours legalization and controlling the drug. Whether legalizing the drug would make it more accessible to minors is another question. Trudeau argues the current approach is not working and kids are still finding ways to get marijuana. He has not said his first order of business is to make the drug more accessible to minors, or that he wants to make buying it a normal, everyday activity for young Canadians. For these reasons, the claims in Fantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flyer contain â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of baloney.â&#x20AC;?

one-third of the 1,500-page agreement, which both sides refused to make public last week when negotiations concluded. The document, dated Aug. 5, was posted on the Internet by the television and online news program “Tagesschau,” which focused its coverage on provisions surrounding the agreement’s so-called investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism. There were published reports prior to the wrap-up of talks that German concerns about the clause could scuttle the deal because corporations would be given too much power to sue governments over legislation they might not like. Under the clause, in order to register a complaint a company would be required to assert that the legislation in question is “manifestly disproportionate,” according to the documents. Last week, officials said the language in the new trade deal was an improvement over NAFTA because it will allow for open hearings and the early dismissal of frivolous claims. Even still, the German media went to town on the documents, which suggest Canada caved in on the issue of patent protection for drugs and has agreed to limit the number of privately run wine stores in Ontario and B.C.
Officials had intended keep the final text under wraps while lawyers tidied up the language in the document. A spokesman for International Trade Minister Ed Fast refused to confirm or deny the authenticity of the documents, but insisted that negotiators have already gone to great lengths to reassure the public that the deal is good for both sides. “Canada does not comment on leaks of purported negotiating texts,” Rudy Husny said in an email. “We have released comprehensive materials which describe the various elements of the agreement and clearly show the significant benefits that will be generated in every region of Canada upon the agreement’s entry into force.” The translation and final legal review are ongoing, while planning for a Canada-EU Summit, to be hosted in Canada next month, has also begun, Husny added. The government said last week that the agreement will result in a 20 per cent boost in bilateral trade. That would mean an increase of $12 billion in Canada’s annual income, which officials say would create an estimated 80,000 jobs. Once implemented, 98 per cent of the tariffs between the partners would drop to zero. However, the secrecy surrounding the final wording has stoked

critics. “The government is refusing to release the official text for now, so we can’t verify the information in this leak,” the Opposition New Democrats said a statement late Wednesday. “We do know, however, that it’s missing an expected thousand pages of annexes. When it comes to trade, details matter. We look forward to the government providing Parliament with a verified, official text.” The Council of Canadians, a longtime opponent of the deal, said in a release that it believes the agreement is unlikely to survive public scrutiny now that the text has been made public. Federal officials have said it could take up to two years to run the text through ratification, translation and fine-tuning of the legal language. That means it might not be in force before the next federal election, expected in October 2015. The Harper government has made the deal with Europe a keystone of its economic agenda, giving Canada favoured access to Europe’s $17-trillion economy. In addition to tariff removal, there are chapters on professional accreditation that will make it easier for people to work in either zone, and more opportunities in financial services and telecommunications.

simply because hunters shoot lots of them. “Any shift in the distribution of body mass among males is demographic,” Traill said. “Changes are largely driven by the removal of larger animals “There are simply fewer males.” That means that the number of big males with fully curled horns could easily rebound if they weren’t targeted as much. “Any decreased frequency of hunting will simply mean that fewer large males are being shot, and thus the likelihood of large males being found in the population may increase,” said Traill. He pointed out that letting big males breed is also good for the overall health of a herd. “It will always be better to let males in their prime breed,” said Traill, who added it remains “prudent practice” to target older males “past their mating prime.” Alberta Environment is examining its hunting regulations around bighorns to try to determine if adjustments need to be made to improve stocks. “We are in the process of completing a new management plan for bighorn sheep,” said spokeswoman Carrie Sancartier. “Once that is completed there is expected to be a public discussion that will include harvest.”

Geekdom in Whitehorse: YukomiCon a super success Tom Patrick News Reporter
W
hether you’re into sci-fi, fantasy, super heroes, gaming, or just Hercules, YukomiCon was the place to be this past weekend. And a lot of people were. A little more than 800 people – many in costume – attended Yukon’s first comic convention and organizers are thrilled with the responses they’ve received. Apparently it’s not too early to call last weekend’s three-day comic-con a first annual event. “I can’t believe how overwhelmingly positive the response has been to our event! We will definitely be doing the event again in 2015,” said Jessica Prentice, one of the event organizers. “I’m just floored by how many people came out in costume and how many people are excited. There are kids and adults – it’s been great.” The inaugural “con” – the abbreviation used by veteran con-ers – was presented by the Yukon Comic Culture Society and held at Whitehorse’s Coast High Country Inn and the Yukon Convention Centre. YukomiCon was eight months in the planning. The inception of the event happened exactly where it should: in a comic book store. “Caitlin (Stonechild-Beaulieu) had this idea to see what interest there would be having a con out here, little did she know there were several of us thinking the same thing,” said Prentice. “We had a meeting in the basement of (Whitehorse’s) Titan Gaming and Collectables just to talk about who’s in, and eight of us were like, ‘definitely.’ “So we formed a non-profit society in December and in the new year, right away, got to work… We’ve put hundreds of hours into this and I think it’s been a success.” “We tried to have a tasting platter with something from every geeky genre,” she added. It’s time to beam up to the Enterprise because that mission is accomplished. At the risk of glossing over a few things, there were cosplay (i.e. costume) contests for all ages, gaming tournaments, and panel discussions, with topics ranging from the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman to the languages used in the writing of Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. Tolkien. There were artist workshops and talks with accomplished comic book artists, creators and graphic novelists. Of course, there were also venders selling everything from comics to superhero T-shirts to Star Trek cookie cutters. (I picked
and sci-fi star Magda Apanowicz. “The unique thing – especially being a first con and smaller – is you’re not taking an hour getting into the convention centre so you can try to walk the floor,” said Apanowicz. “People can spend a couple hours or the day and get to see everything.” Apanowicz broke onto the sci-fi scene playing Lacy Rand in the series Caprica, a prequel spin-off of the cult series Battlestar Galactica. She currently stars on the Canadian sci-fi series Continuum. “I’ve been pleasantly shocked that there’s such a big geek heart here in the Yukon,” said Apanowicz. “I like any kind of cons – anytime people get to express themselves. I’m a super nerd about a lot of different things and I’ve never really fit in. So it was nice to grow up and meet a lot of actor friends who are geeks and nerds, so I don’t feel alone anymore. So any time I come to a con with that whole unity and spirit and knowing there are other Alistair Maitland/Yukon News people like you is really special, and I love that Yukon is doing this.” Special guest VickyBunnyAngel signs autographs at YukomiCon on Sunday.

It was during the filming of The Big White that Williams, a cocaine and alcohol addict in the past, ended 20 years of sobriety. He recalled taking that first drink in a 2010 interview with the Guardian. It was while filming on location in Alaska, he said. “I was in a small town where it’s not the edge of the world, but you can see it from there, and then I thought: drinking. I just thought, hey, maybe drinking will help. Because I felt alone and afraid,” he was quoted as saying. “You feel warm and kind of wonderful. And then the next thing you know, it’s a problem, and you’re isolated.” Williams went further in a 2013 interview with Parade magazine. “The movie was interesting, but I was worried. My film career was not going too well. One day I walked into a store and saw a little bottle of Jack Daniel’s. And then that voice – I call it the lower power – goes: ‘Hey. Just a taste. Just one.’ I drank it, and there was that brief moment of ‘Oh, I’m
OK!’ But it escalated so quickly,” he was quoted telling the magazine. “Within a week, I was buying so many bottles I sounded like a wind chime walking down the street. I knew it was really bad one Thanksgiving when I was so drunk they had to take me upstairs.” Williams went into rehab in 2006 after what he called “an ultimatum” from family and friends, but his struggles continued. Boyce said there wasn’t the slightest hint of those demons during his time with the star. Williams insisted on driving himself around the city as much as he could. He wouldn’t hesitate to pop into a pharmacy to buy his own bottle of shampoo. “My memory of him is being a great guy and being kind. We’d say in the business: ‘He’s a real mensch.”’ Boyce recalled how the media kept finding filming locations in the city and showing up unannounced. Rather than run from he cameras, Williams emptied a
box of Christmas decorations, cut out two eye holes and put it on his head. He then proceeded to do a bit for the reporters about being an anonymous comic. “He could just flick that switch and he was on.” Williams’s suicide has left a hole in Hollywood that won’t easily be filled, Boyce said. He’s happy the star managed to spend some time plying his craft in the Manitoba capital. “I consider myself lucky to have met him and have worked with him and spent time with him,” Boyce said. “We were lucky.”

That’s in addition to the hundreds of people who have met the robot face to lens, said Smith. As of Wednesday, its Instagram following was approaching 11,000. Its Facebook account had garnered more than 41,000 likes and nearly 32,000 people had followed it on Twitter. As for what’s next, Smith said Hitchbot and its team have been invited to present at an innovation and entrepreneurship conference in Silicon Valley in September, as well as planned visits to various museums and galleries across Canada. Smith said he also hopes to organize stopovers to some of the communities that had expressed disappointment that Hitchbot had been unable to thumb through and say hello. “As an artistic work, one of the things you hope for is public engagement, stimulating the imagination, maybe instilling a sense of wonder and curiosity,” said Smith. “I think Hitchbot has done this beyond all expectations.” Looking further ahead, Smith said he has mused about sending a Hitchbot-like robot on an open-ended journey. He likened the idea to the Voyageur space program, which saw NASA launch two unmanned probes into deep space in the 1970s, which were programmed to continue to communicate with their creators but would never return. In the meantime, when asked whether plans were in the works for a return hitchhiking journey from the West Coast, Smith’s answer was vague. “You never know,” he said, laughing. “It’s too soon to say no is all I’m saying.”

sodium per day, but some guidelines have recommended lowering daily intake to less than 2.3 grams per day, a level the researchers say has been attained by less than five per cent of the population, both in Canada and around the world. In 2010, a 25-member sodium working group chaired by Health Canada advised Canadian adults to try to cut salt consumption by a third so they could reach a maximum of 2.3 grams a day by 2016. The group said 1.5 grams daily is considered adequate intake. Hypertension Canada, an organization of about 70 health professionals from across the country, had recommended that teens and adults limit sodium intake to between 1.2 and 1.5 grams, depending on age. But last October, it raised that amount to two grams, the equivalent of roughly five millilitres (one teaspoon) of salt, after reviewing the latest research on the effects of dietary sodium on blood pressure. The Prospective Urban Rural (PURE) study, led by investigators at McMaster University, shows that a dietary sodium level exceeding five grams per day does indeed raise blood pressure, especially among people who already have hypertension and those age 55 and older. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a known risk factor for heart attack, heart failure, stroke and other disorders. But cardiologist Dr. Salim Yusuf, principal researcher of the two studies, said the effects of blood pressure are more modest at average levels of sodium consumption – three to five grams per day – and not obvious at amounts below three grams,

which is under the maximum intake recommended by many guidelines. “It makes sense if your blood pressure is high, your sodium intake is high, to lower sodium,” Yusuf said Wednesday from Hamilton. “But what is often ignored is that increasing your potassium intake by eating healthy foods is also beneficial and just as important, and the two together is your best strategy.” Bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes, green leafy vegetables and legumes are just some of the foods rich in potassium. “A balanced approach is what is likely to have the greatest benefit in lowering blood pressure,” said Andrew Mente, an assistant professor of clinical epidemiology and biostatistics, and lead author of the first paper. “This can be achieved by moderation in salt intake, combined with eating lots of fruits and vegetables.” While ingesting too much sodium, either by dosing meals
from a salt shaker or eating an abundance of processed foods, can pose serious health risks, the researchers’ companion study suggests that getting too little salt also may be dangerous. “The second paper shows that increased sodium intake, over six grams a day or even five grams a day, is certainly associated with an increased risk of heart disease, strokes and death,” said Yusuf. “And so once somebody’s intake is above that, it makes sense to lower it.” But the population-based study found that with ingested daily sodium levels between three and five to six grams, there was a lower risk of cardiovascular events and death, as compared with either a higher or lower level of salt in the diet. In people whose average daily sodium intake is less than three grams – so below the amount recommended by many guidelines – the study found an elevated risk of heart attack, stroke and other

serious cardiovascular problems, he said. “So it makes no sense, then, to try to lower that.” Lead author Martin O’Donnell, an associate clinical professor at McMaster and National University of Ireland in Galway, said low sodium levels in the body can boost certain hormones that are related to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death. “The key question is whether these competing physiologic effects result in net clinical benefit or not,” said O’Donnell. “In the PURE study, we found the lowest risk of death and cardiovascular
events in those who consumed moderate amounts of sodium intake (three to six grams per day), with an increased risk above and below that range. “While this finding has been reported in previous smaller studies, PURE is the largest international study to study sodium intake and health outcomes, and adds considerable strength to the contention that moderate sodium intake is optimal.” Yusuf said the studies’ findings question the much-touted notion that salt is unhealthy and that consumers and the food industry should severely cut sodium content in food.

But he said that contention – and the guidelines it spawned – are based on a paucity of scientific evidence. “They were done with a modest degree of evidence that sodium reduction lowers blood pressure, and then people just extrapolated all the way down to levels at which we had very little data … The guidelines were done with practically no evidence that sodium reduction reduces cardiovascular disease.” The gold standard for such scientific evidence is a clinical
trial, in which participants are randomly assigned to receive different interventions. In a medication trial, for instance, half the subjects would be given the experimental drug being studied, while the other half would get a dummy pill. The effects would then be compared. That’s an approach endorsed by Prof. Suzanne Oparil, director of the Vascular Biology and Hypertension Program at the University of Birmingham, Ala. In an accompanying editorial, she says randomized trials are needed
to compare outcomes in people with typical daily salt consumption versus very low salt intake to determine if reducing sodium leads to fewer heart attacks, strokes and deaths. “These provocative findings beg for a randomized, controlled outcome trial to compare reduced sodium intake with usual diet,” Oparil writes of the PURE studies. “In the absence of such a trial, the results argue against reduction of dietary sodium as an isolated public health recommendation.”

Florida preserve allows close human contact with wolves; some experts say it may be too close Melissa Nelson-Gabriel Associated Press
CHIPLEY, FLA. t Seacrest Wolf Preserve in northern Florida, billed as the largest such facility in the Southeast, owners Cynthia and Wayne Watkins say they raise their wolves to become accustomed to humans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and for a $25 fee, they even let visitors mingle with a wolf pack. It lets wolves become ambassadors for their species, they say, and helps people become advocates for wolves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We offer one of the rarest opportunities in the world for humans to see wolves up close and personal,â&#x20AC;? Cynthia Watkins says. The Watkinses estimate that Seacrest, near the small town of Chipley, gets 10,000 visitors a year. But some wolf experts worry that Seacrest may be allowing wolves and humans to get too close. Dave Mech, a senior research assistant with the U.S. Geological Survey who has spent decades studying wolves, says allowing visitors to enter a wolf pack enclosure isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are still unpredictable because they are wild animals,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wolves are not like dogs. Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and that unpredictability and wildness is taken out of them because of the breeding.â&#x20AC;? A worker was attacked and killed by a pack of wolves in 2012 at a wildlife park in Sweden. A Canadian biologist was killed by wolves at the Haliburton Forest & Wild Life Preserve in 1996. Seacrest requires visitors to watch an educational video

before they interact with the wolves, has trained wolf handlers on hand during every tour and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow children under 6 to take the tour, Watkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not some little roadside zoo,â&#x20AC;? she added. The Seacrest preserve grew out of her passion for raising huskies, the sled dogs with a wolf-like appearance. That evolved into providing a home for wolves in need of relocation and later into a captive breeding program. The 30 grey, Arctic and British Columbian wolves, with names including Utah, Rio, Liberty and Spirit Prince, are separated into packs. Each pack has several acres to roam. On a recent afternoon, Cynthia Watkins sat on a log bench surrounded by seven howling grey wolves. Watkins joined in their howling and pet and kissed each of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Red Riding Hood was wrong and the wolf is not the bad guy but indeed a very important keystone species,â&#x20AC;?
she said. Seacrest also provides wolves to education programs around the country. Pat Goodman, curator of Wolf Park in Battle Ground, Indiana, has worked with wolves for more than 40 years, and said Seacrest has a good reputation for raising healthy wolves that serve as ambassadors for their species in places around the country. In Florida, thousands of miles from many of the wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; native habitat, Seacrest uses spray misters, large ponds and lots of shade inside the wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; densely wooded enclosures to help the animals deal with the heat and humidity. The preserve is still recovering from a major flood in late April when heavy rains burst a dam on the property, washing out the wolf enclosures. The flood led to the death of one British Columbian wolf that escaped from its enclosure. It was shot and killed by a sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy after an extensive search for the animal

led by Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fish and Wild Conservation Commission. Stan Kirkland, a spokesman for Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said the deputy shot the wolf out of concern for public safety after officers spent days tracking the animal and trying to trap it without killing it. He said officers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get close enough to use a tranquilizer dart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are talking about a 90- to 100-pound wolf escaping and we really were out of options,â&#x20AC;? Kirkland said. The Watkins are petition-
ing Gov. Rick Scott to start an investigation into the death of the wolf. The preserve has finished the most-crucial repairs needed to ensure the safety of the wolves, but more work needs to be done, she said. Seacrest has received donations and messages of support from around the world for the $100,000 rebuilding effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I could do was cry when I looked at how beautiful each enclosure was and how well thought out it was,â&#x20AC;? Watkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flood was extremely devastating.â&#x20AC;?

ing one. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that accosting people, taking advantage of a natural tendency to avoid conflict, is a reasonable way to do business. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like responding to it with more consideration than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been extended. I live in a major urban area and encounter tons of these folks. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sick of it. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your take? GENTLE READER: Responding to rudeness with more consideration than has been extended is something of a guiding principle for Miss Manners. She also knows that the alternative is ineffective: The people whom you wish to lecture are the agents, not the originators, of the approach. Far better to pass on with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, thank you,â&#x20AC;? as you are doing, leaving the would-be salesman without successes to report to his boss. DEAR MISS MANNERS: When I saw a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband for the first time after her death, he looked like he was doing well. We spoke briefly about the weather, etc., and when the conversation paused, I mentioned how much I miss her. His face fell, and I felt terrible. Should I not have mentioned her at all? GENTLE READER: People so often withhold offering condolences for fear of â&#x20AC;&#x153;remindingâ&#x20AC;? the bereaved of their loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as if they could forget â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that Miss Manners hopes that she will not discourage you from that kindness. But context is important. What you said was lovely and would be comforting if said privately. But if you were at a festive event, where the widower was making an early effort to re-enter social life, it could have jolted him. DEAR MISS MANNERS: How do I tell the person who is cutting my hair or cleaning my teeth that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to talk about my personal life? GENTLE READER: Keeping your eyes shut might alert them that you are tuned out. If necessary, Miss Manners recommends telling the hair cutter that you are blissfully relaxed. To the dental hygienist, you need only say a version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ummpphhh,â&#x20AC;? which will be recognized as the inability to hold a conversation when there are instruments in your mouth. DEAR MISS MANNERS: Is it socially acceptable to remove your retainer at the table? GENTLE READER: Ewww. Please tell Miss Manners that you are not seriously contemplating doing this. If she is queasy just hearing the idea, she can imagine how people feel who might be forced to watch. (Please send your questions to Miss Manners at her website, www. missmanners.com; to her email, dearmissmanners@gmail.com; or through postal mail to Miss Manners, Universal Uclick, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.)

Labour costs for construction is estimated at $5,000, but staff have decided to donate their time and build the enclosure themselves to save money. The remaining $5,000, which is also for building materials, will be supplied by the preserve. “The long-term home we’re hoping (to build) will actually go beside our current Arctic fox enclosure, that will lend well to excellent interpretation value,” said Caskenette. “He’s
obviously fairly habituated, so there’s a lot that can be done with him.” “If we can build a suitable enclosure for him – a suitable home for him – that could mean we could acquire another red fox, so he can have a friend, create stimulus for,” she added. “Maybe we can get cross foxes or black foxes. The comparison of all those species is really invaluable.” The fundraising run or walk will be held on the reserve’s five-kilometre loop with lots of animal viewing opportunities. Registration is from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Monday morning. Participants can pre-register at the preserve and can find registration forms, as well as pledge forms, on the reserve’s website and through Sport
Yukon. The run begins at 10:30 a.m. The cost of the run varies from $7 to $15 depending on age. The preserve, located on Takhini Hot Springs Road north of Whitehorse, sits on over 700 acres and currently houses 11 species of northern Canadian mammals. More information can be found at www.yukonwildlife.ca. “I think in the run you might get a little distracted as well … because we also have a ton of babies,” said Caskenette. “A couple of them are a couple months old, but are still ridiculously cute.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Kakuro
By The Mepham Group
Sudoku Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test! Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every digit 1 to 9. For strategies on how to solve Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.
FRIDAY CROSSWORD PUZZLE
To solve Kakuro, you must enter a number between 1 and 9 in the empty squares. The clues are the numbers in the white circles that give the sum of the solution numbers: above the line are across clues and below the line are down clues and below the line are down clues. Thus, a clue of 3 will produce a solution of 2 and 1 and a 5 will produce 4 and 1, or 2 and 3, but of course, which squares they go in will depend on the solution of a clue in the other direction. No difit can be repeated in a solution, so a 4 can only produce 1 and 3, never 2 and 2. © 2013 The Mepham Group. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency. All rights reserved.

Jim Montgomery Jim Montgomery, an old friend to many in the Yukon, died suddenly from cancer in Maple Ridge, B.C. last month. Always an adventurer, Jim came to the territory in 1970, right after graduating from high school in North Vancouver, to take a job at the United Keno Hill Mine in Elsa. Jim always wanted to write, and his experiences at Keno Hill formed the basis for his novel, There is a Season.
Brendan James Kinney September 21st, 1993 - August 9th, 2014
Whitehorse, Yukon
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce Brendan Kinney’s passing at the tender age of 20. Brendan was born and raised a Yukoner. He was a gentle, caring, thoughtful, sensitive and compassionate young man. He was a huge music lover, video game slayer, and historian master. He had an uplifting and unique sense of humor. He enjoyed joking around, music, video games, rifles, the outdoors, and spending time with his family and friends. If you had the opportunity to meet Brendan you would have found a fast friend, always with a smile and comforting manner. His parents are very proud of the young man he was becoming. His uplifting personality gave his family much laughter over the years. He was an awesome big brother who always kept an eye on his little sister. His practical jokes, goofy faces, and expressions will be greatly missed. He leaves behind his mom, Linda Powers, his dad Brad Kinney and the light of his life, his sister Tyra Powers-Chippett. He also leaves behind many friends and family both in the Yukon and in Alberta. All are welcome to a Celebration of Brendan’s Life on Tuesday, August 19 at the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre in the Longhouse Room, 1171 Front Street. The Celebration will begin at 2:00 p.m. You are welcome to bring photos to share. After the service, there will be a burning of letters ceremony for Brendan in the fire pit. If you would like to take part please bring a letter you have written for him. There will be a reception following the service. A private interment will be held at a later date.
Family and friends are gathering at Jim and Becci’s place in Maple Ridge, Saturday, August 16, for a celebration of life.

After Elsa, Jim lived in the Whitehorse area in the late Seventies, and was one of the creators of the original Lost Whole Moose Catalogue. Along with Barb Parry, he had a son, Shawn Parry, who grew up in the Yukon, and has since taken up the mining trade in B.C. Jim left the North in 1981 to pursue his education at University of Victoria. He did eventually get a degree, but it took until 1989, largely because his sense of adventure got in the way. During the Eighties, Jim sailed three times with Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, firstly as a correspondent with Canadian Press, and then as a volunteer crew member - first mate and navigator. They battled Japanese driftnetters in North Pacific, and later the Bering Sea, and the Caribbean, in campaigns against drift netting, and dolphin slaughter perpetrated by the Yellowfin tuna fishery. Jim moved to the Fraser Valley in 1989, where he married Becci Olsen. Jim and Becci have three children, Sara, Emma, and James. Jim always missed the Yukon. He visited often, and he and Becci lived near Whitehorse for a year when their kids were small, but decided to move back to Maple Ridge, where Jim completed and published his novel, There is a Season, a work inspired by his years spent in the Yukon. Jim was a tall man with a big shock of red hair and a big, outgoing loving nature to match. There will always be a large, tousled-headed, empty space in the world where Jim Montgomery used to walk.

It is with great sorrow that we mourn the passing of Richard “Rick” Leslie Cusick. Rick was born in Dawson City, Yukon on April 5, 1958. His road to retirement began shortly after he graduated high school in Dawson. He began working with Yukon Government’s department of Highways in 1976 and after years of hard work he was promoted to Road Foreman. He later moved to Whitehorse and became the Foreman of the Whitehorse grader station. His love for fishing and camping was only surpassed by his love for his wife, Carrie Ann, who he married on January 30, 2011. Rick will be missed deeply by his wife Carrie Ann, his son Tyler, his sisters Sandra and Donna, his brother Bob, his many nieces and nephews, and many of Tyler’s friends who flocked to Rick’s house to learn about life, women and hockey. Please join us on Thursday, August 14th at 47 Grizzly Circle any time after 4:00 pm for a celebration of Rick’s life. “Heaven better get organized, because there’s going to be a lot of rip and reshape going on up there!”
