including police liaison positions, a promised DNA-based missing person databank and “generally policy adaptations that will make federal policing and federal support services far more responsive to the communities.” But the “specific and tangible” interventions must be guided by local initiatives and proposals, he said. “Communities need to be highly involved in the development of their own plans,” said Leef. “There are some very different and very unique circumstances that communities have that can only be fixed at the community level, and can only be determined by communities. “It will be my pleasure and obviously responsibility to sit down with stakeholders and go through the funds that will be available and the funds that can be applied for.” The federal government has consistently denied the need for a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, despite calls from opposition parties and every province and territory. Even Leef committed to vote for an inquiry if such a request were brought to Parliament, “regardless of who tables it in the House.” Now Leef says he needs to talk with Yukoners before he can say if he still supports the call. “That question will only be answered after Yukon residents have had the opportunity to review the action plan and assess that against the realities and needs of the territory,” he said in a written statement this morning.

A territorial court judge originally found him fit to stand trial, so long as he had a lawyer. That decision was overturned and he was found unfit. His children describe their father as a caring man who would open his door to anyone in need. An active volunteer in the church, he was everyone’s friend and quasi-grandpa. Now he sees grand conspiracies and is distrustful of everyone he comes across. He’s currently in the jail’s secure living unit, isolated from the general population. The isolation is not likely to help his mental state, Crown lawyer David McWhinnie pointed out. “The WCC is not the place for him.” McWhinnie said he had “serious concerns” that it appeared nothing had happened to secure a bed for Hureau. Kim Sova, the lawyer representing the director of social services, said officials are “at the mercy of bed availability” and have been in
contact with hospitals across the country. The Yukon government currently pays for two beds at the Brockville General Hospital’s secure ward. In an interview this morning, Health and Social Services spokesperson Pat Living said the government can also reach out to other hospitals if needed. That can only happen after a review board ruling, she said. Living estimates there are about four Yukoners in Outside hospitals under a review board order. “We don’t have the capacity here. So we have to look for beds outside the territory,” she said. In the 2012-2013 year, the Department of Health and Social Services spent $2.5 million on people who have files with the review board. Some of those clients are able to stay in the territory in places like local group homes, Living said. Overall, the total cost works out to about $129,000 a year per person. When a person has to be sent
Outside to a forensic mental health hospital, the cost to the territory is about $1,200 a day. When asked whether that money might be better used providing care locally, Living said it’s important to remember that each client has different needs. “The kinds of care or services or supports that they require can be as different as night and day,” she said. “For us to be able to provide the different care needs for all of these individuals, would, I think, if they actually did a business analysis, cost us more than $129,000 a client.” In Hureau’s case, one of the Brockville beds is taken until October. The second has already been earmarked for another client, though Hureau could jump the queue if necessary, the review board heard. “Any delay at all is really an injustice to Mr. Hureau,” Dick said. Hureau’s case will be reviewed in six months. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

tent, mostly calcium and magnesium but also iron and aluminum. Whitehorse has been entirely on groundwater for the past six years and its hardness is well within Health Canada’s requirements, said Brian Crist, director of infrastructure and operations for the city. He said he spoke to a few coffees shop owners about the issue last week but has received very few comments relating to the mineralization of the water. The city averages around 180 ppm hardness, Crist said. The level is obtained by measuring
the total concentrations of calcium and magnesium, the two most common minerals that make water hard. Water above 180 ppm is considered “very hard” and Health Canada’s upper limit for municipal water is 500 ppm, Crist added. “Surface water requires a full water treatment plant and heating of the water, which is very expensive,” Crist said in an e-mail. “As the groundwater quality in Whitehorse is very good, the city made the decision a number of years ago to go 100 per cent with groundwater. This has resulted in much cheaper
utility costs to Whitehorse residents.” The city has five wells and is soon adding a sixth, Crist said. Each well has varying degrees of hardness, which means the city has to balance the volume of water drawn from each well to control hardness, he said. “The city is proud to deliver a high quality of water to residents and businesses,” he said. “We mostly receive very positive comments about the quality of the water we deliver to citizens.”

yard in the North Klondike Highway and 10 Mile Road area early Friday morning, possibly attracted by a chicken coop, said Ryan Hennings with Environment Yukon. “The property owner attempted to try and scare it away, at which time she believed the bear charged at her, and therefore she acted in self defence.” She shot at the bear with a rifle, and the bear took off. Conservation officers searched the area but did not find the bear. “We did find blood, and a blood trail for about 100 metres, so we know the animal was injured. We don’t know the significance of the injury, but the blood trail ended and we can’t find the bear.” Environment has not received any reports of sightings of the bear since, and conservation officers do not know if it is dead or alive. If it survived, it could be particularly aggressive because of the injury. “We just want residents to be
aware of this incident that has occurred so that if they see a grizzly bear in the area, and they believe it is injured, to please contact us as soon as possible so we can try to track down this animal and deal with it appropriately,” said Hennings. Call 667-8005 to report a sighting of the injured bear during office hours, or 1-800-661-0525 after hours. In addition to that bear, there has been another grizzly causing problems in the Old Alaska Highway and Scout Road area, he said. “This bear has accessed human garbage – dog food and chicken feed – at numerous properties in the area. It’s getting more bold and conservation officers are actively trying to capture this bear and prevent any further conflict. “We want to remind the public that bears are still out. We need to manage our attractants and secure our attractants, whether it’s garbage or dog food, chicken feed, whatever it may be, to try to prevent these incidents.” Any sightings of bears who are at risk of coming into conflict with humans should be reported to Environment Yukon.

Yukon Special Olympian named to Team Canada for worlds Tom Patrick News Reporter

hitehorse’s Darby McIntyre has competed for Yukon at a national Games. Next summer he’ll represent Canada on the world stage. McIntyre has been named to Team Canada for the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games next July in Los Angeles, Calif., Special Olympics Canada announced Tuesday. “I was excited and I’m looking forward to going because sports are lots of fun,” said McIntyre. “I’m going for athletics, so what I’m looking forward to is track running. I’m looking forward to doing the training and going to Los Angeles.” McIntyre will represent Canada in both track and field events in Los Angeles. He will compete in the 5,000-metre and 1,500-metre, plus the shot put and standing long jump. The 14-year-old was the youngest member of Team Yukon at the 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games this past July in Vancouver, B.C. McIntyre captured silver in the shot put and in the 5,000-metre, achieving his goal of breaking the 19-minute mark with a time of 18:57.77. He also took fifth in the 1,500-metre and sixth in the standing long jump. “It’s fantastic news,” said Janine Peters, Yukon chef de mission at the Vancouver Games. “He definitely worked super hard to get where he is.

McIntyre is fast on snow as well. He competed for Yukon at the 2014 Arctic Winter Games and won two bronze medals in snowshoeing. The Vanier Catholic Secondary student will attend a Team Canada training camp in Caledon, Ont., northwest of Toronto, at the end of October. “I’m going to train there and going to train with my two coaches, (Athletics Yukon’s) Don White and (Special Olympics Yukon’s) Carmen Gustafson,” said McIntyre. “Don White, in the winter, is going to get me out snowshoeing.” McIntyre will be just the second Yukoner to compete at the Special Olympics World Summer Games. The first was Tyler Repka at the 1983 Games in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Numerous athletes from Special Olympics Yukon have competed at the World Winter Games. Most recently was Michael Sumner, who won a silver in figure skating at the 2013 Games in South Korea. McIntyre is one of 115 athletes Canada is sending to next summer’s Games, making it the largest team the country has ever sent to the worlds.

A national inquiry may no longer be needed
Ryan Leef The Yukon News asked MP Ryan Leef whether he still supports a national inquiry into the issue of missing and murdered aboriginal women. Below is his full response. For details on the government’s action plan, see page 2.
M
y support for a national inquiry is contingent on the views of Yukon residents. If they support it, I will carry that message clearly to Ottawa. That question will only be answered after Yukon residents have had the opportunity to review the action plan and assess that against the realities and needs of the territory. Past calls for an inquest were done in absence of the parliamentary special committee report “Invisible women: a call to action” and the RCMP operational overview report into missing and murdered aboriginal women. In light of these two comprehensive reports we know far more about the issues and about the solutions. This has provided direction to the government in respect to the action taken in the action plan and the $200 million
investment and the $25 million already committed. Given the significant developments and my duty to discuss these developments with Yukoners, it would be presumptuous of me to presuppose if the majority of Yukoners still feel an inquest is required. Yukon residents will need to review the action plan, consider what a national inquiry will provide that the action plan and most recent reports haven’t been able to achieve in consideration of value to victims their families, communities and relative time frame and costs. To simply boil this down to “do I support a national inquiry?” or does the Yukon for that matter, is an oversimplification of an important issue. For reasons stated above, my answer to that question will be provided by Yukon residents themselves after they’ve had a fair opportunity to review the steps taken and the two new reports we now have. My direction on this will come from Yukoners from that point. Simplifying this issue and pressing for my “personal” position before I have the benefit of consulting Yukoners and hearing their collective voice on the consultation serves no purpose other that the maintenance of the political football game in which the opposition and media are all to pleased to engage in. This issue deserves far greater sensitivity and understanding of the issues than is being given when the media seeks to headline, truncate, and selectively crop issues of national importance down to a yes or no, narrowly directed question. Let me summarize: a lot has been learned in the year since I called on our government to Publisher

hold a national inquiry. I have a duty to share and consult on what has been learned in addition to action that has already been taken by our government, action with directed plans, community inclusion, and $200 million in funding to support that action. If the Yukon, in light of all of the new information and investment, still feels an inquest is required I will support that. I will also continue to support all the very real measures our government is taking to reduce violence against aboriginal women and girls and to support victims and families. Further, I will continue to criticize the disingenuous efforts of the opposition who consistently and shamelessly fail to support the wide range of measures and investments we are making in this regard. They are irresponsibly proposing a national inquiry as the action plan, not a path to action. For their shameless use of this deeply troubling issue as their political prop the public should be outraged, particularly in light of their failure to support any other measure that will help change this disturbing reality.

Outrage at human rights commissions is misplaced ally withdrawn). The public relations campaign in defence of the various commisby Kyle sions across Canada in recent years Carruthers has been disastrous. Rather than acknowledging that at its most basic, the system is very much like any other – designed to impose consequences for bad behaviour and compensate complainants for their losses – we hear fluff about how the process is “remedial” uman rights commisrather than “punitive,” and that sions and tribunals across there is no “accused” or “guilt.” Canada certainly get a Financial awards for “hurt bad rap.

who I want, and sell to whomever I chose! It is none of the government’s business.” If you are one of these people you will likely not find much that you agree with in what follows. Because I, like many others, believe it is a reasonable limit on our right to run our own business as we please that it be illegal to say “I will not hire you because you are a woman” or “I will not rent to you because you are black” or “get out of my store we don’t serve aboriginals here.” That kind of absolutist libertarianism has been roundly rejected in the Canadian political culture. One can object to some of the more marginal, even frivolous complaints that commissions deal with, but it is clear to me that real discrimination still exists and a mechanism should be in place to address it. The next question is, whose job is it to police discrimination? The answer in (almost) every jurisdiction in Canada has been a quasijudicial system involving a commission that investigates claims of discrimination and a tribunal that hears the cases and determines outcomes. Critics of human rights commissions suggest that such disputes should be handled in “real courts” by “real judges.” In my view, this would be a bad idea and strangely
Fracking has far-reaching consequences Open letter to the select committee on fracking: After the meeting about fracking in Watson Lake, I had the impression that the majority of people, with one exception, spoke out against fracking, including the Liard First Nation. Some had no objections against using the resources generally, but wanted more scientific information; in essence they also used a more cautious approach. This is all understandable, where we hear about so many states and countries that have banned fracking in their jurisdictions, and for good reason – the use and poisoning of tremendous amounts of water for a simple fracking operation, and then either storing it in ponds or pounding it back into the ground, should be declared a criminal activity. By that single fact alone, fracking should be outright banned in the Yukon. On top of that, there are countless adverse effects that fracking has on people and the environment. There is proven air pollution with severe neurological effects on humans and animals, groundwater contamination, the causing of earthquakes and leaking of methane. Fracking is also destroying farms and ranches, and displacing people who made a living on the land for genera-
tions. All that, of course, gets disputed by the oil and gas industry, and they will drag people through lengthy and costly court battles that no ordinary citizen can afford. That all being known makes it puzzling to me why fracking is ever debated in the Yukon at all. Parallel to that, our federal and territorial neocons are strategically trying to dismantle environmental protection to cater to their friends in the oil and gas industry. This is corporate welfare and ideological engineering on a large scale. Any sane, reasonable human being would find this to be outrageously biased to say the least. If we do not brake the grip of the multinational oil and gas companies on our democratic process and regulatory regime, consultation and democratic participation will become meaningless exercises. In seeing the whole scenario unfolding, with fracking growing like a cancer south of the Yukon border, and its potential to destroy most of the Yukon wilderness and environment, it is only logical to clearly say no to fracking in Yukon! Reiner Rembe Watson Lake
One shipwreck after another Open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper: On the event of the discovery of one of the ships from the Franklin expedition, one pending shipwreck has found another. Be careful what you wish for, prime minister. The undoing of Franklin was his arrogance to the environment. His expedition, its failure and loss 167 years ago, has always been a classic example of the Old World man’s utter dependence on technology that could not overcome nor conquer the Arctic. Mr. Harper, you need to heed the warning and the ghosts that haunt that wreck when it comes to your aspirations for the Arctic. Your focus on military might and non-renewable resource extraction is a perilous path and a doomed journey like Franklin’s. Instead of dying of lead poisoning, hypothermia and starvation, your agenda will be destroyed by climate change (September snowstorm in your constituency), military overspending, and the bitter anger our children will have with the legacy you are creating. A Robber Baron’s legacy.
this suggestion is rarely heard with respect to other quasi-judicial bodies that have power in other areas, such as employment and rental standards in other provinces. The first reason is that our “real judges” are extremely busy. Have you tried to schedule any time with one lately? I have and usually you end up waiting anywhere from several weeks to several months just for a one hour conference with a judge. Want a day or more with one of our real judges? You can expect to wait the better part of a year to get into court. There is also the reality that most human rights cases involve relatively small amounts of money. For example, take a recent Ontario case where a man was asked by his potential employer if he was white or black and was told that “(the employer) don’t hire foreners (sic)” received an award of a whopping $8,000. One must question the economy of having the most talented and highly paid legal minds in our community (judges) spending days dealing with cases where such minor sums are on the line. Finally, I do not believe that a shift to a judicially run human rights system will fix many of the more common complaints we hear from critics regarding the current system. In real court, defendants still
pay the cost of their own defence, and when costs are awarded to successful litigant they rarely fully reimburse the party. In real court, civil cases are decided on the basis of a balance of probabilities, rather than proof beyond reasonable doubt. In real court, in cases involving smaller dollar amounts (i.e. small claims court) the stricter rules of evidence are relaxed. In real court, the names of defendants are a matter of public record and frequently picked up by the media. In real court, even wrongly accused litigants face the unfortunate choice of paying for settlement or the potentially greater cost of defending a case. There are many reforms I would propose to the way that human rights commissions operate, and I have serious misgivings about commissions having jurisdiction over speech (thankfully the latter issue is not currently something Yukoner’s need to concern themselves with territorially or federally). But I do believe that a quasijudicial process for the resolution of these disputes is better than imposing yet another burden on our overstretched court system.

A new peace? Longest deal in decades may end lengthiest B.C. teachers’ strike Tamsyn Burgmann Canadian Press
VANCOUVER ritish Columbia’s longwarring government and teachers’ union have made unprecedented educational labour peace with a six-year collective agreement wrought through months of embittered strike action and a final six-day sprint to settlement. The historic deal, if ratified by teachers in a vote on Thursday, will reopen schools as early as Monday for half a million students, restore the flow of income to more than 40,000 teachers and renew stability for families provincewide. A breakthrough in negotiations came with the help of mediator Vince Ready just before 4 a.m. Tuesday. The result is a tentative contract that provides teachers with a wage increase, more funding for classroom composition, a plan for settling outstanding grievances and proceeds without a clause detested by the union. Premier Christy Clark beamed and patted Education Minister Peter Fassbender on the back as she thanked students and parents for their patience

and lauded union president Jim Iker for showing “real courage.” “I think it’s a real gamechanger for education in the long-term,” Clark told reporters in Vancouver, adding it’s an opportunity to reset a 30-year dysfunctional relationship with the union. “We will now be able to sit down with some of the most important people in the system – and that’s teachers – and work together, rather than constantly arguing and fighting.” The premier declined to provide contract specifics, saying teachers and trustees had the right to a first look. But the deal won’t require any tax hikes and the province will continue to appeal the court case that a judge has already decided in favour of the union’s right to bargain class size and composition, she said. Iker was set to address the B.C. Teachers’ Federation later Tuesday. Earlier in the day, a member of the union’s bargaining team said the contentious E80 clause, relating to class size and composition, had been removed from the contract. David Komljenovic, president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association, said many
of the union’s issues were addressed at the negotiating table. “Teachers had taken a vote last week about ensuring that the infamous E80 was off the table,” he said. “We did manage to get that off.” “It’s an agreement we can live with. Definitely, there’s something for both sides. But the issues around what’s before the courts will remain there.” The union thanked its more than 40,000 members through social media for their “commitment, courage and strength” during the months-long strike. Union spokeswoman Nancy Knickerbocker said on Twitter that teachers will read over details and vote on the agreement on Thursday. She said schools, which have been closed since mid-June, will also need to be cleaned before students resume classes. Administrators are also anticipating that Monday will be the earliest that most schools could open. Vancouver School Board chairwoman Patti Bacchus said if the contract is approved, the board will attempt to get into the school year as quickly as possible. Principals have already been making preparations, she
said. “We’re fairly well prepared,” Bacchus said, adding many teachers still have to tidy up from last June because the strike began two weeks before the official end of the school year. “It’s going to be bumpy for sure and people are going to have to be a little bit patient, but I know there’s a great desire to get back as soon as we possibly can.” Ig Cheung, who has been teaching in Surrey for nearly two decades, said he’s relieved an agreement has been negotiated and intends to read it closely before deciding on his vote. “I’m just hoping we haven’t given up too much,” he said. Chung said that with morale waning on the picket lines, he’s not certain all his colleagues will return to the job wholeheartedly. “This is going to be a very different year,” he said. “Some teachers, after all this, may just go and teach. They (will) forego extracurriculars like running clubs, coaching teams.” Representing parents, Nicole Makohoniuk, president of the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils, said the body wants future negotiations to begin well in advance of the
contract’s expiry date. She hopes that will also help the healing process. “B.C. still has the top education program, in my opinion, in Canada. I think (teachers) move forward,” she said. “They move on. Yes, they’re hurt, and yes, they forgive, but they don’t forget. That’s the biggest thing.” Grade 12 student Queena Zeng said she expects everyone is feeling overwhelmed, but she’s optimistic that moods will brighten once classes get into gear. “At the end of the day, everyone has to try to get back together,” she said. “It’s not just the teachers, but also the students and the admin. Everyone working together.” Talks resumed last week as a group of unions offered $8.5 million in loans and donations to struggling teachers, while the government softened its opposition to back-to-work legislation. B.C. governments of all political affiliations have struggled with the union over control over educational policy for decades, resulting in the present-day work stoppage that takes the title of longest provincewide strike in provincial history.

The high road or the low road? Scotland took a long and winding path to independence vote Jill Lawless Associated Press
EDINBURGH n Calton Hill, overlooking Edinburgh, stands Scotland’s National Monument. A colonnade of classical stone pillars modeled on the Parthenon in Athens, it’s grand, inspiring – and unfinished, ever since the money to build it ran out two centuries ago. It’s a fitting image for the country as seen by independence campaigners, who hope voters will finish Scotland’s incomplete journey to statehood by backing separation from Britain in a referendum on Thursday. Polls suggest the outcome will be close. For many people south of the Scottish-English border, the idea that Scotland might leave the United Kingdom has come as a recent shock. But it has been decades, even centuries, in the making. “I’ve always felt we could run ourselves. We used to, years ago,” said David Hall, whose job is winding the clocks on some of Edinburgh’s most famous structures, including the Nelson Monument on Calton Hill. He adds an often-heard sentiment: “We’ve always been treated as second-rate up here, by down south.” Scots have always felt different from their southern neighbour, whose population today is 10 times Scotland’s 5.3 million. The Romans never managed to conquer Scotland, and remnants of Hadrian’s Wall still stand along the northern limit of their empire. Scotland and England fought skirmishes and wars throughout the Middle Ages, and the exploits of Scottish heroes William “Braveheart” Wallace and Robert the Bruce form part of the national mythology. Britain – the country uniting England, Scotland and Wales – is a relatively recent development. England and Scotland have shared the same monarch since 1603. Political union came a century later, in 1707 – to the dismay of some Scots. “Many felt it had been imposed upon them by a bullying England and that Scottish politicians had been bribed into submission,” said Christopher Whatley, professor of Scottish history at Dundee University. “That narrative … has pulsed through the Scottish body politic through the centuries.” But for a long time, in the eyes of most Scots, the Union worked. For almost three centuries, Britain was a global success story, carving out a vast empire. Scots were among the leading players, as colonists, soldiers, administrators, engineers and intellectuals. The 18th-century “Scottish Enlightenment” produced thinkers including economist Adam Smith, philosopher David Hume and poet Robert Burns.

Ed Hastings, right, and his wife Sandy Hastings, second right, are Yes campaign supporters and members of a Scottish historical re-enactment group. They’re seen here chatting with tourists beside Scotland’s National Monument on Calton Hill, in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Tuesday.
In the 19th century, Glasgow and other Scottish cities thrived on shipbuilding and manufacturing that powered the empire. For many Scots, their junior status in the union rankled. But some historians argue that the nationalist notion of wee Scotland oppressed by its domineering big brother is nonsense. Prime Minister David Cameron shares that view, arguing in a recent newspaper column that the United Kingdom was behind many of the great advances in history. “When the world wanted representation, we gave them democracy,” he wrote. “When they wanted progress, we had the Scottish enlightenment and the industrial revolution.” In recent decades, however, the bonds holding the United Kingdom together have frayed. In the decades after World War II, Britain lost its empire. The economic upheavals of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s era in the 1980s – which saw the collapse of industry, widespread privatization and mass unemployment – alienated many Scots and weakened a shared sense of Britishness. Edinburgh University historian Tom Devine says the surging sense of Scottish identity that has led the country to the cusp of statehood “is partly based on myth and history” stretching back to Bruce and Wallace and the medieval wars with England. “But that is only one thread in a much more complex tapestry of identity formation,” said Devine, who supports independence. “The key triggers now are more political and social.” Scottish writers and artists have helped fuel a new confidence, which has coincided with increasing political autonomy. In 1997 Scots voted to set up a parliament in Edinburgh with substantial powers over health, education and other sectors. Since then the Scottish National Party under leader Alex Salmond
has abandoned tartan-and-haggis cultural cliches to make a political and civic case for separation. Salmond argues that independent Scotland will be a “Northern Light,” a beacon of progressive social policies and economic dynamism. In 2011 Salmond’s SNP won a majority in the Scottish assembly, with the promise of a referendum on full independence. Ever since, the No side has argued that Salmond’s sunny vision of the future is based on unrealistic assumptions, but has struggled to present a positive alternative. While anti-independence campaigners express affection for Scotland and the Union – the equivalent of a spouse shouting “Don’t leave!” – much of their argument has centred on the economic risks of separation. This is not the first time in Scottish history that dreams of statehood have run up against cold economic reality. In the 1690s, the Kingdom of Scotland tried to secure its world status and economic future by setting up a trading colony in Panama. The venture was a disaster. Most of the 2,500 colonists died of starvation and disease, thousands of Scots who had invested lost their life savings, and the country was left so indebted that it turned to England for financial aid, and political union. The result was the Kingdom of Great Britain – the country that will end if the Yes camp prevails this week. Whatever Scottish voters decide, Whatley – who says he’ll be voting No – thinks there is one positive parallel to that time three centuries ago. “The Scottish people are more engaged with politics than at any time in Scotland’s history,” he said. “You saw that before the Union in 1707. I think we are seeing exactly the same engagement and passions on both sides now.”

Searching for the next self-help fix ‘I could have had a down payment on a house but instead I was swimming with cosmic dolphins and taking vaginal weightlifting classes.’ Ashley Joannou News Reporter
W
hen Emelia Symington Fedy was 12 years old she bought her first self-help book. Looking back, she’s not sure where she got it. Bookstores weren’t exactly plentiful in the tiny central B.C. town of Ashton Creek. The book was called Reviving Ophelia. It was for preteens suffering from depression. Fedy wasn’t depressed. “But I thought I should read this book,” she said. “Just in case.” That was the first taste of what would become a lifelong quest for Fedy: a search for fulfillment. “I’ve spent a lot of time and money, my entire adult life, trying to find ‘the thing,’” she said on the phone from Vancouver. “The thing that will make me feel good. The thing that will work. Take away pain. Heal me, you know? The search.” Her search has taken a variety of forms, from the more conventional – like novels and yoga classes – to less mainstream options. Like the time she flew to Hawaii to go swimming with cosmic dolphins. Wild dolphins, she had been told, were the closest thing you could get to swimming with God. “Dolphins have this kind of cosmic quality to them. They can potentially interact with extraterrestrials. They can interact with your fetus. There’s this kind of belief.” Or there’s the thousands of dollars she spent on an online “spirituality based” business school for women. The classes were part conventional business lessons mixed in with things like meditation, to help bring whatever you wanted in life closer to reality. It wasn’t until recently that Fedy sat down and did the math. The cold, hard, nonspiritual numbers. She estimates she’s spent nearly $70,000. It was a shock. At 35 years old, Fedy is an artist, and not a wealthy one. But this is how she was choosing to spend

her money. “I could have had a down payment on a house but instead I was swimming with cosmic dolphins and taking vaginal weightlifting classes,” she said. Fedy has translated her experiences into a one-woman, (optionally) interactive, stage show. Through the Gaze of a Navel is part yoga class, part performance piece. It’ll be in Whitehorse from September 17 to 20 at 7:30 p.m. at The Old Fire Hall. On Saturday there is also a 1 p.m. show. Audience members can participate in the yoga or just sit back and watch while Fedy takes them through a gentle satire of the world she is so familiar with. “You get to go in and out of the experience of asking the questions that I had asked,” she said. Fedy is trained to teach two types of yoga, classical Ashtanga and Acro-yoga, a technique involving a partner. “Even though there was this incredible empowering aspect to the practice, why does it have to put me in debt? Why do people have to
Even though she’s been asking the questions, going cold turkey isn’t easy. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Swimming with dolphins? Are you kidding me? The most amazing thing ever!” she said, speaking faster as she describes the cosmic dolphin experience. “But why do I do it? Why do I search out these things that I think are going to make me feel better?” She’s now a mother, and is six months pregnant with her second child.

LIFE Documentary captures life off the grid Myles Dolphin News Reporter
T
he idea of spending nine months in the wilderness might conjure up images of loneliness, boredom and isolation to some. But Suzanne Crocker and her family would disagree. The Dawsonite filmmaker, her husband and three children spent almost 200 days living in the bush from the fall of 2010 to the spring of 2011. The experience is preserved in the 88-minute film, All The Time In The World, which was among nine Canadian feature documentaries chosen to screen at the Vancouver International Film Festival on Oct. 1. Crocker and her husband Gerard first presented the idea to their children because they were unsatisfied with not having enough time for each other. “We couldn’t really find a way to divorce ourselves from all the distractions in life, such as the Internet, projects, work,” she said. “There was a realization that we didn’t have all the time in the world and our kids were growing up very quickly. We tried more conventional ways to get a better balance in our lives but didn’t have any success.” The children – aged four, eight and 10 at the time – were enthusiastic about the idea and the decision was made to pack up and move off the grid for nine months. Their destination was a cabin with no electricity, no running water, no Internet and no television. “I don’t think they really understood what that meant,” Crocker said. Crocker sent out a mass email explaining her project and deleted her account. She called it a liberating experience. The cabin’s location is a secret, she said, but specified it can’t be accessed by road. A large amount of supplies were brought in by canoe. Beans, dried fruit, powdered milk and canned vegetables, among other foods, as well as educational resources and a lot of books. “My kids still run the other way when someone mentions bean and rice,” Crocker said. In the early morning and late evenings, the family would read stories out loud. The books ranged from Charles Dickens to Farley Mowat to Jack London. Sam, Kate and Tess were homeschooled in the morning until it was time to go out and play. They even found an innovative way of replacing the family’s traditional movie night.

The Crocker family enjoys an evening campfire. Suzanne Crocker, a filmmaker, produced a documentary about her family living off the grid in Yukon called All The Time In The World. The feature documentary will have its world premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival on October 1.
The children would run off and record impromptu stories on Crocker’s audio recorder, then play them to each other while eating popcorn. There was never a dull moment in the entire nine months they spent there, Crocker said. “The kids would create their own entertainment,” she said. “They never expressed a desire to go back to Dawson. They’d create their own games, puzzles, mazes, stories and even bow and arrows. Their creativity flourished and the sibling rivalry was at its least.” Gerard, a doctor in Dawson, would go back to town every few months to check on the clinic and bring back a few supplies. It would take him all day to travel the distance. When the nine months was up, Crocker wasn’t ready to go back to her old life. The first thing she did when she stepped into her home was to remove the clock from the wall. She said she developed a whole new concept of time by living in isolation. “It’s really amazing to live by the seasons rather than the clock,” she said. “In the fall and spring we didn’t know what time we were getting
ence very quickly,” she said, “and I think that’s why I got such great footage.” “One day, Gerard chopped his finger while chopping wood, so he comes into the cabin bleeding and needing stitches. From a filmmaking point of view, you’d want to get the camera out but I couldn’t ask him to wait while I got it and set it up.” “There are a lot of dramatic moments you can’t film because you have to be a wife or doctor or mother.” Submitted Photo/Yukon News She hopes that viewers are Suzanne Crocker pulls a canoe full of supplies over the ice. reminded just how little time we actually have in this world, and to up or going to sleep at. “There was ence when a friend came over to make the most of the moments we an awareness of the weather, the welcome them back to civilization. do have, she said. seasons, the animals and insects “We were talking and all of a The film will be coming to around us.

No excuse is necessary for declining sales party invitation by Judith Martin
MISS
MANNERS DEAR MISS MANNERS: It seems like every time I turn around I am getting an invite from a friend to attend an inhome sales party. I personally despise these parties. I think the merchandise is overpriced, the products are not that great, and I cringe when I get the invite from a friend because I feel obligated to attend and buy something. I put these parties up there with going to the ob/gyn. I know this is a way for people to earn extra income and that times are tough with the economy, but I keep getting invited to these parties, and frankly, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get invited. Period. How do I gently and kindly let people know that I appreciate the invite, and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great they are starting a business of their own and I value their friendship, but I do not want any part of these, and to not include me in the future? I am running out of excuses not to attend, and some people just do not take the hint! GENTLE READER: No excuses are necessary. Miss Manners assures you that there is no kind and gentle way to tell people that you approve of their choices in general, but do not care to socialize with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so sorry that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to be able to make it,â&#x20AC;? is

enough. To preserve the friendships, and incidentally to set a counter-example, you might invite them to visit you without having to bring their wallets. DEAR MISS MANNERS: What should a woman do after she has been kissed on the hand? I am not sure if there is some
gesture or response the woman should offer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;completeâ&#x20AC;? the sense of a greeting/acknowledgment. GENTLE READER: To respond to this gesture is to allow oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand to be approached. (Not actually kissed, because a proper gentleman kisses an inch or two above the hand, and
would never attempt to do even that to an unmarried lady.) Miss Manners warns you that this is not as passive or as easy as it sounds. Probably expecting a handshake, the lady will hold her
hand stiffly vertical and so must gently rotate it to a horizontal position, allowing him to hold it from underneath while he kisses the air above the back of her hand.

How to manage back pain
E
ven those who have endured back pain might be unaware of just how far-reaching and expensive it can be. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, lower back pain is the foremost cause of job disability around the world. The NINDS study, in which researchers examined data from 117 studies conducted in 47 different countries, found that one in 10 people suffer from lower back pain, a discovery that no doubt startles many people, especially when considering the global scope of the study. A condition that affects 10 percent of the world may seem impossible to prevent, but there are steps men and women suffering from back pain can take to make their condition more manageable. • Contact your physician. A bruised back or mild stiffness may not require the help of a physician. Such issues will likely disappear shortly enough to make medical attention unnecessary. But EmblemHealth recommends that people suffering with back pain visit a doctor if they experience numbness or tingling in their back, legs or arms; suffer pain after a fall; and/or are feeling pain with additional symptoms, including fever, trouble passing urine or unexplained weight loss. Such symptoms indicate that the back pain is more than just a temporary nuisance, and something that may need to be treated by a professional. When a physician visit is necessary, the doctor will attempt to understand just what’s causing the pain. Identifying the cause can help to develop an appropriate and effective course of treatment.

most common causes of back pain include bulging discs, pinched nerves, arthritis, muscle spasms or strains, and sciatica, a nerve condition that goes from the lower back through the hips. Some cases of back pain are a result of poor posture or tight muscles. • Exercise regularly. When speaking with a physician, men and women who suffer from back pain should discuss exercise as a treatment method. Regular exercises such as riding a bicycle or swimming can improve strength and flexibility in the back. More complex exercises, such as yoga, also have been recommended to sufferers of back pain. Yoga improves flexibility and builds strength while also promoting strong bones which can reduce a person’s risk of injury. Injuries that limit movement can increase a person’s risk of developing back pain, so an exercise routine that builds flexibility and strong bones can be an effective way to manage or even prevent back pain. • Sit up straight at work. Many people can trace their back pain to their offices, where uncomfortable chairs and poorly positioned desks don’t provide the necessary support men and women need to reduce or prevent back pain. Chairs should provide adequate lower back support, and desks should be at a comfortable height that does not force the body to hunch or place itself in another awkward position just to get work done. When sitting, make sure you are sitting upright with your shoulders relaxed and your body against the back of your chair. • Don’t resort to too much rest. Long-time sufferers of back pain no doubt recall a time when

after resting for a day or two due to back pain. Studies have shown that back pain is prevalent across the globe. Coping with back pain is often painful, but there are healthy ways for men and women to manage their back pain and start feeling good again. (Metro Creative Connections)
edical professionals often warn that snack foods can be unhealthy, upsetting dieting plans and causing a person to consume more calories than is recommended. While a number of snack foods, particularly snacks that are laden with saturated fats, sodium and many calories, can be detrimental to your health, there are plenty of healthy snacks available to men and women who know where to look. Self magazine reports Americans consume 26 per cent of their calories at times other than breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many fitness plans actually recommend regular snacking as part of a “grazing” mentality. Grazing, or eating several small meals per day rather than three large ones, can help keep metabolism primed and ready to burn calories. Grazing also enables a person to avoid overeating at any particular meal. But grazing on the wrong foods can be counterproductive. That’s why selecting the right snacks is important. • Aim for snacks that are 100 calories or less. One-hundred calorie snacks can help you fill you up and stave off hunger pangs. While there are plenty of prepackaged 100-calorie snacks available, you can easily make your own snack packs by being conscious of nutrition labels. Measure serving sizes of healthy foods into separate containers so you’re less likely to eat more than is necessary. • Fill up on fruits and vegetables. Produce can make a healthy snack because it is generally low in calories, which means portion sizes will be larger than other high-calorie foods. Many fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins and other nutrients, which are needed to keep a body healthy. Many also make good sources of fiber, which can help you feel satiated longer between meals. • Choose foods with healthy fats. Not all fats are bad. Monounsatur-
ated and polyunsaturated fats lower total cholesterol and bad cholesterol in the blood. Sources of good fats include nuts, olive oil, avocado, salmon, soy, and sunflower oil. Skip foods that have high levels of saturated fats, which are mainly found in animal products. Trans fats are perhaps the worst fats to eat, as they are produced by hydrogenation to give them a longer shelf life. Avoid foods that contain hydrogenized oils. • Opt for snacks that mimic the texture of unhealthy snacks. Sometimes you may crave something crunchy or a particular comfort food. Choose a crunchy whole grain cereal over potato chips. If you desire a cool, creamy treat, frozen yogurt has much fewer calories than ice cream. • Pack on the lean protein. Lean sources of protein, such as slices of turkey, egg whites and soybeans, will fill you up and keep you feeling full longer than many carbohydrates. A snack of sushi can fill you up quickly. One piece of a California roll is just 30 calories and has less than a gram of fat. • Keep healthy snacks handy. Always have a bag of healthy snacks handy in the event you get hungry. This way you avoid a trip through the drive-thru or a pit stop for a doughnut or another snack. (Metro Creative Connections)

Whitehorse’s Marc Senecal and Fred Blaker placed second and third, respectively, in the amateur with under-two and plus-eight over the two rounds.

Istchenko hits record 77 to win One Club Wonder Tom Patrick News Reporter
I
t was one of those rounds in which everything clicked. It was his best round of the season, and he only had one club rattling around in his bag. Armed with his trusty 7-iron, Whitehorse’s Vic Istchenko hit a tournament record 77 to win the One Club Wonder Invitational on Saturday at Mountain View Golf Club. “It was one of those magical days where I could do no wrong,” said Istchenko. “It is an amazing feeling. It’s like, ‘That was just luck,’ and then you get to the next hole and you do it again, and you say, ‘This never happens.’” “I’m sorry to say 77 is the best score I’ve posted all year,” he added. “I had a 78 with a full bag … (But) I’ll keep the rest of the clubs.” Istchenko, a two-time Yukon men’s champ and one-time senior champ, had three birdies, five bogeys and a pair of doubles to win the golden cardigan – the tournament’s answer to the green jacket of the Masters. He’s buttoned up the winner’s sweater a few times before. Saturday was his fifth time winning, which puts him in a tie for the most wins with last year’s champ Blaine Tessier, who set the previous tournament record last year with a 79. Istchenko won the tournament with an 89 in 2008, the last time he donned the cardigan. Even his putting, which is usually a weak spot in his game, was working with the iron. He had the fewest putts in the tournament with 25 over the 18 holes. “I’m known as the worst putter in town, (but) you should see me with my seven iron: I was unbelievable,” said Istchenko. “I was knocking them in from everywhere – a couple of chip-ins. I think I only made one mistake in the fairway.” Mountain View pro Jeff Wiggins, who won in 2010, placed second with an 86. Former Yukon champ Landon Kulych came third with an 87. “The hardest part about the seven-iron is hitting the parthrees that are only 140, 150 yards,” said Istchenko. “That’s a really tough shot.” A 7-iron was also working well for Leif Lassen, who was surprised to learn he won the low net competition. He had no idea he was in the running for the title. “I didn’t even know I won anything. It’s crazy!” said Lassen. “I had an awesome round.

Leif Lassen hits his approach shot on Hole 17 during the One Club Wonder Invitational at Mountain View Golf Course on Saturday. Lassen won the low net division with a 75.
“I missed like three or four putts, but I was stroking it. It was awesome.” Lassen, who played the tournament for his first time last year, hit a 91 with a handicap of 16 to card low net of 75. “I parred number one, right away – that was wrong,” said Lassen. “It’s never good to start with a par. “Basically, I shot my handicap – just over. That’s bullshit. There are a lot of clubs (in my bag) that can just go away.” Gord Starko placed second with a net score of 78. Garry Potter and tournament organizer and co-founder Patrick Michael tied for third with low-nets of 79. “We started 18 years ago when seven of us went off on the 10th hole,” said Michael. “It was the first week of October and we were on temp greens. We hit our first drives and it started to snow – that’s where the whole thing started. “We kept coming back to it,
got it up to doing 18 holes, and it got to the point where we didn’t want to have it too late in the year to be past having the real greens open.” With his name etched on the low-net trophy, Lassen is now ensured a spot in the tournament next year, like all past winners. This year’s edition saw 34 players take part, close to the maximum of 40. One-club tournaments are not unique to Yukon. A One Club Golf UK charity tournament was established last year in Northampton. There was a one-club world championship held in Atlanta in 2010, but the championship website has since been taken down. (Whether or not those tournaments allow a putter, which Mountain View’s does not, was not specified.) Golf Digest reports two-time Masters champ Bubba Watson enjoys playing the occasional round with just one club. He reportedly shot an 81 at the
Tom Fazio-designed Pine Hill Golf Course in New Jersey last year using a 20-degree hybrid. The Guinness World Record Book has American Thad Daber holding the one-club world record with a two-under 70, hit with a 6-iron in 1987. “The one club is a special day,” said Istchenko. “It’s a unique tournament, it’s a unique experience, everybody who does it can’t wait to play in it again next year because
it’s just that much fun. It’s fun walking out there with just one club and knowing you’re going to hit that for every shot. It takes all the guesswork out.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

fast or cover the court as well as he does, but he’s really good to play with.” It was a very cordial final, with plenty of friendly banter back and forth. The scoring was also very back and forth. Polivka and Copland jumped out to a 2-0 lead before Marchuk and Roche went up 6-3. The eventual champs fought off a match point for Marchuk and Roche at 7-6, winning the last three games for the match. “We did have a match point,”
said Marchuk, a former men’s singles champ. “One point away, but c’est la vie. They played really well.” “Jan was just hitting it harder and harder as we went along,” said Roche. “It was harder and harder to return. He’s a good player, so is Ann.” The mixed title was Copland’s second of the lengthy championships. She teamed up with Fleur Marsella to win the women’s doubles title in an 8-3 win over runner-ups Nancy Hughes and Maya Reindlova. Polivka was two games away from his sixth men’s singles title last week before Justin Halowaty fought back from a set down to win it. “Usually I start out slow; it takes a bit to get into the serve,” said Halowaty. “In a pro-set I would have been done like dinner

because he was already up 6-1. “With serve and volleying, I have to get my serve in – in a bit of a rhythm – and usually that takes a few games.” Halowaty won his second men’s title with a 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 win over Polivka. He won his first title in the early 2000s but has been absent from the championships the last few years. “He was a better player today,” said Polivka, following the singles final. “I was playing really well in the first (set). And I wouldn’t say I was playing bad in the second, Justin just started to play really well in the second and in the third he crushed me. “I still played well in the second set, but then I started to make a lot of errors. I missed a few important balls and he started to get really confident.” Halowaty also won the men’s doubles title with Kevin Patterson, beating Shahid Syed and Zain Syed in the final. Aline Halliday’s first run in the open women’s division was a good one. The 17-year-old from Whitehorse won her first women’s title in the first week of the championship. “This is my first time playing in the women’s category instead of the junior category, so it went pretty well, I was pretty happy with it,” said Halliday. “They were all good matches and it was really fun to play with all the girls and ladies. It was really good.” Halliday went undefeated in four round-robin matches for the title. Her closest matches were 8-4 pro-set wins over Nancy Hughes and Maya Reindlova. Her win over Hughes stands out as a tough one, she said. “That was a really close match,” said Halliday. “She had me running all over the place. That was really fun – all the matches were really good to play.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Pair of losses puts Laverdure 12th at world championship Tom Patrick News Reporter
W
atson Lake’s Brittanee Laverdure left last week’s world championships with her lowest placing in four appearances, but she’s only more determined to reach her ultimate goal of competing at the Olympics in 2016. “I’m more inspired after this,” said Laverdure in an email to the News. “I was always working through worlds in my prep, I was conscience of my mental fatigue going forward, I knew it
was a process and I see the bigger picture of a four-year cycle.” “I’m excited going forward,” she added. “I’m upset but not debilitated with a number which although was my place, I do not believe reflects my abilities and my ability to be in the top of my weight class.” The 32-year-old placed 12th out of 19 in the women’s 55-kilogram weight class at the FILA World Wrestling Championships last Wednesday in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Laverdure opened the championships with a 6-0 win over the

Watson Lake’s Brittanee Laverdure, left, faces India’s Babita Kumari at the Commonwealth Games in July. Laverdure placed 12th at the FILA World Wrestling Championships in Uzbekistan on Wednesday.
Czech Republic’s Lenka Hockova. She then lost 3-0 to Russia’s Irina Ologonova, who went on to take silver, and 8-4 to Spain’s Karima Sanchez. “(I was) definitely hoping for a top-five at a minimum,” said Laverdure. “Russia won silver and I can beat her. The way the draws end up is like two mini tournaments, so you never meet the other side, only the finalist if you end up in the final. “A placement is just a result … a number 12th is not the one I like, but that’s where I ended up.” Laverdure, who works as a lawyer in Calgary, won silver in the 55-kilogram weight class at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, at the end of July. Her gold medal match against India’s Babita Kumari was cut short when she suffered
a compound fracture to her left pinky finger. Though not fully healed, it didn’t bother her in Uzbekistan, she said. “I taped to my other finger,” said Laverdure. “It’s not ideal, it’s still stiff and sore, but it in itself did not affect my performance. It was simply a small injury I had to adapt to and which gave me grief for a small period of time. “In life it’s not functioning where it should, but taping in my matches it felt fine.” Canada’s wrestling team collected 12 medals at the Commonwealth Games, but was held to just one at the worlds. Saskatoon’s Jillian Gallays defeated Russian Natalya Malysheva 6-2 for the bronze in the women’s 53-kilogram class. Laverdure won silver in the 53-kilogram weight division
Basketball Yukon will be running athlete identification sessions on

at the Pan-American Wrestling Championships in Mexico City in the middle of July. “My teammate at 53 kg, just won a bronze,” said Laverdure. “This is the weight I placed second at nationals… another reason to be excited. 53 kg is the weight I’ll be at next year.” Laverdure won a bronze at the 2008 world championships in Japan and also took two fifthplace results at worlds in 2007 and 2012. She has twice been first alternate for Canada’s Olympic team and hopes the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro will be her year. “I have seen Olympic champs lose, world champs lose, and no-namers win. It was not my greatest placement, but not my worst performance in the sport. The standing is the number at the end of the day. We could wrestle the same tournament today, same draw, same competition and the results everywhere would be different. That’s the sport of wrestling. We don’t seed, and that’s one of the reasons, where you end up is where you end up.” 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. “Uzbekistan is surprisingly good,” she added. “I had imagined sketchy food, roads and accommodation. Apparently it is still under a sort of dictatorship, there. There is no garbage, the food is good, the roads good, people friendly.” Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

MARCH 21, 1959-SEPTEMBER 13, 2014
The family would like to express their thanks and gratitude to Dr. Cindy Breitkreutz, Dr. Stephanie Buchanan, Dr. Armando Heredia, and Dr. Rebecca Barnes, as well as the staff of the Medical Unit of Whitehorse General Hospital.
Raised on a farm in Peerless, Montana, he was a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant and aerospace engineer by trade. After working for Boeing and General Dynamics in Seattle and San Diego, Merle moved to Dezadeash Lake, Yukon in 1970 to pursue a more creative and adventurous life. He was known by many for his dry humour, industriousness, creativity, and an unyielding stance on environmental issues. His short but poignant letters to editors expressed support for wildlife protection and an opposition to non-aboriginal hunting and trapping. He was fascinated by the history of the Haines Road area, including Dezadeash Lodge (previously known as Beloud Post) which he co-owned and managed from 1970 until 1980. He was respected by those who knew him well, and has left his colourful mark on Yukon’s history. He is survived by his eldest sister Idella, his children Stefanie and Matthew (who knew him as an unconditionally generous and super-fun dad), a host of grandchildren, and a stream named “Flying Squirrel Creek”. Friends can contact info@matthewlien.com regarding an informal gathering at Merle’s Dezadeash Lake homestead, Whispering Willows Estate, where his ashes will forevermore grace the knoll.

Merle Thorman Lien
Merle Thorman Lien passed away in loving company on his 83rd birthday, September 2, 2014. He had been well cared for by the doctors and staff at Whitehorse General Hospital, struggling with lymphoma cancer for some years–a condition which physically overwhelmed him. He was clear-minded to the end and spoke by phone to his loved ones on the morning of his passing.

I’m thinking about you today, September 17th. It’s our 59th anniversary, a lifetime ago. You were my partner and friend all these years. Through good and hard times, you were there for all of us; you still are in many ways. Love and friendship like we had, is forever. We belonged together and shared one heart. No matter how you felt, you always said “Good morning” with a smile. I miss you, my dear heart. Always, Edna
