eavy snow, high winds or an earthquake could cause Ross River School to collapse, a new engineering report warns. The structure is in “critical condition” according to the report from Stantec Consulting Ltd. “In the event of major snow, wind and/or seismic load, we consider that the build’s structure may not be capable of resisting such loads and may become unsafe,” the report says. “The unknowns surrounding the foundation and the subsequent superstructure problems are significant and should not be ignored.” The report is what led to the school being closed indefinitely this week. It had already been closed and then opened again earlier this month. The first sign of trouble was spotted on Jan. 9, when students and staff arrived at the school to find some big cracks in the walls. Everyone was sent home as a safety precaution. By Tuesday classes were back up and running. Repairs were being planned for spring break and summer vacation. Officials said there was no need for alarm, the structural integrity of the school was not a concern, and the school was fit for occupancy. The crack that was causing the most concern was not part of a load-bearing wall, a Public Works spokesperson said at the time. Then the Stantec report came in and the doors were shut again this Monday. As spokesperson Kendra Black tells it, the initial concerns caused the department to order a more complete once-over of the school. It was something that was scheduled to be done soon, but got pushed up, she said. It’s not clear exactly how long the school has been unstable. Because the building is built on permafrost, it is monitored regularly, Black said. The last report was done in December 2012, and didn’t identify these problems, she said. Melting permafrost under the school, built in 2001, has led to movement. It’s fixable, the report says, but would require “extensive work.” The extent of the damage means it’s not possible to estimate costs yet. The Stantec report is 19 pages long, with many of those pages filled with pictures. The majority of the problems are in the foundation or resulting from foundation

problems, the report says. It talks about loose bolts and significant movement of some of the piers in the foundation. The floor is sloped, particularly around the perimeter of the building. Walls and windows are cracking. At the time of investigation, the temperature in the school’s crawl space was 17 degrees. According to the engineers that is “extremely high” for a building with the type of foundation found at Ross River School. Crawl spaces would normally have temperatures that are the same as the outside air. “High temperatures in the crawl space are considered to be the major cause of the permafrost degradation under the building,” the report says. There is air handling equipment in the crawl space that needs to be kept from freezing, Black said. Insulating the area was a recommendation from an earlier report. The installation was designed as a barrier to prevent the heat from escaping into the permafrost. According to the latest report, the crawl space was insulated with 100 millimetres of spray foam in 2013. The engineers recommend the crawl space be left unheated. Department of Education spokesperson Ronuk Modha said government officials were in Ross River to meet with chief and council, school officials and community members to decide what to do. A community meeting happened last night. This morning, Modha said the meeting went well and the department gathered a lot of feedback, but no plan has been finalized yet. Education has said the first choice would be to find other buildings in Ross River that could be used to hold classes. Ross River School has about 50 students, from Kindergarten to Grade 10, and about 17 staff. If that doesn’t work, Modha said Monday the department might look into shipping temporary facilities into the community.

“Another option that has been identified is whether or not there’d be an appetite to transport the students to the school in Faro,” Modha said. All the Ross River students could probably fit into the school, he said. “We don’t want to make any decision at this point without getting the input from the community. So that’s our number one priority.” Modha would not say how long it might be before the students get back to class. NDP education critic Jim Tredger criticized the government for lacking a contingency plan for what to do with students in a situation like this. “We’ve known that not only is it on permafrost, but there’s problems, the building’s shifting. They’ve spent a fair bit of money trying to correct it and put different things in. But in the back of your mind you got to have a ‘what if ’ and it doesn’t appear to be there,” he said. Along with the public school, Yukon College has also been shut out of its campus. The college shares the same building as the school. Spokesperson Michael Vernon said the college is working on finding alternative washrooms for the 13 students and two instructors who are part of the two heavy equipment technician programs running in the mobile trades training trailer. Campus staff hope to find a new location for a threeand-a-half-day course on bulk water delivery scheduled for this week. After that’s found, the coordinator will start looking for a new home for the Kaska language course, which runs Monday and Tuesday evenings, Vernon said. She’ll also be looking for new locations for a trapping course set to run from Jan. 28 until Feb. 1, a knitting course set to run Jan. 21, 27 and 28, and a drum-making workshop set to run in early February.

Community Services Minister Currie Dixon says First Nation support doesn’t necessarily mean First Nation consent when it comes to fracking in the Yukon.

passed a resolution banning fracking within its members’ traditional territories. However, the two First Nations most likely to be affected by fracking are not members of that umbrella group. Yukon’s most developed oil and gas project is in the Kotaneelee field of southeast

Yukon, in the traditional territory of the Liard First Nation. Back in 2012 that First Nation was in a very public fight with the Yukon government over plans to remove a legislative veto LFN had held over oil and gas development there. Now the legislative committee has recommended that the

veto be reinstated, at least when it comes to fracking. The company with a majority stake in that natural gas project, EFLO Energy Inc., told the Yukon government last year that it may be looking to get at shale gas reserves by fracking in the next five to 10 years. The Liard First Nation has indicated that it will oppose all fracking in the territory. The Eagle Plain basin, within the traditional territory of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, is still in the exploration phase, and is not likely to be developed for production in the near future. Fracking, if it ever happens there, would be kicked even further down the line, since conventional oil and gas reserves are easier and cheaper to get at. Vuntut Gwitchin has passed a resolution opposing fracking in its territory until the practice can be proved 100 per cent safe. In addition to recommending a veto for First Nations, the fracking committee has suggested a number of measures to reduce the potential environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing. It has recommended that baseline data for water, air, wildlife, human health and land be collected so that impacts can be properly measured and managed. The committee also recommended that the government complete a thorough study of the potential economic impacts of developing a fracking industry in the territory. The full report is available on the Yukon Legislative Assembly website. Contact Jacqueline Ronson at jronson@yukon-news.com

And to just see every- Silver. News Reporter

Pasloski, who did not respond to multiple interview requests by press time, has suggested that the shuffle was about giving more responsibility to rural MLAs. Pelly-Nisutlin MLA Stacey Hassard joined cabinet, taking on the portfolios of Economic Development, Yukon Housing Corporation, Yukon Liquor Corporation and Yukon Lottery Commission. And Vuntut Gwitchin MLA Darius Elias failed to snag a cabinet seat, but was appointed government house leader. Many have speculated that one of the primary motivations of the shuffle was to remove Lake Laberge MLA Brad Cathers from

the Community Services and housing files. Whitehorse city council voted unanimously to have Cathers removed from those portfolios in October, and the Liberal party also called for his resignation over the last-minute cancellation of an affordable housing project. Cathers was demoted from government house leader to deputy house leader. He’s now in charge of Justice, Yukon Development Corporation and Yukon Energy Corporation. Whitehorse Mayor Dan Curtis said he’s very pleased with the new assignments. “In terms of what’s important

to the city, I think that we’ve got two really good ministers.” Currie Dixon is the new Community Services minister, and the mayor is already working to set up a formal meeting, he said. And Hassard will do well on the housing file, said Curtis. “I think it’s a fantastic choice. I really do. I think he has some really good perspectives from the municipal level, working in the Village of Teslin. “I’m very pleased with the choices that were made, and I think that our city and our working relationship will benefit greatly from the change.” Contact Jacqueline Ronson at jronson@yukon-news.com

group of former leaders in Yukon’s Department of Education are calling on the government to rebuild trust with teachers, parents, First Nations and school staff. Last week Ken Taylor, Piers Macdonold, Shakir Alwarid, Fred Smith and Don Roberts signed a commentary that was published in the Yukon News. “Trust is a rare commodity among those working in the education field right now, and that is unacceptable,” they wrote. “Communication – real, open, honest communication is often missing among the partners. The education system has become closed with people feeling shut down, left out, or at risk if they speak up.” The authors were all active in the education system in the late 1980s, when the government was drafting the Education Act. “The many years we spent fixing the education system, especially writing the Education Act, creating a partnership and the trust with the teachers, with the professionals, with First Nations, with parents – to see it all go down the drain, it’s really disappointing. It’s disgusting, to tell you the truth,” said Alwarid in an interview this week. He was the deputy minister for education at the time. “Morale is at an all time low,” said Taylor. “People are working hard. They’re doing their best, but they’re feeling a huge disconnect with the very most senior levels of management.” The government should set up a series of formal meetings to meet with partners and work on solutions, he said.

Doug Graham is Yukon’s new minister of education.

Premier Darrell Pasloski has responded to the group in an open letter (see page 6) in which he criticized them for being long on criticism but short on solutions. “When I saw the response from the premier, it was really sickening, him being so defensive,” said Alwarid. It’s that “we know better attitude” that led the government astray in the first place, he said. “The government should just shove aside the bureaucracy right now and listen to those who are most affected by education.” Pasloski did not respond to multiple interview requests by press time. Doug Graham, who became Yukon’s minister of education in last week’s cabinet shuffle, also criticized the group for making vague accusations. “Ken Taylor and Piers Mac-

Donald especially kind of disappointed me with a letter like this, because if there are criticisms of the department, those are things that they should be able to articulate.” Graham has previously been the territory’s education minister, in the late 1970s. He said he would be happy to meet with those two to find out what their specific criticisms are. And he said that meeting with the department’s partners in education is on the top of his priority list, anyway. “It doesn’t matter what era you look at, in terms of education, there have always been problems or controversies within the department,” said Graham. “One of these fellows was a deputy minister of education some time ago, and I think it would be very instructional to go back and see what people had to say about that era. I have some personal opinions about that era, and they’re not real complimentary.” Contact Jacquelien Ronson at jronson@yukon-news.com

Our government provides tremendous support for postsecondary education, including the Yukon Grant, the recently-enhanced Yukon Excellence Award Program, training for older workers and the Northern Institute of Social Justice at Yukon College. We have opened the Centre for Northern Innovation in Mining – Yukon College’s onestop, state-of-the-art trades training facility and have begun developing the first made-in-Yukon degree and post-degree programs in partnership with Yukon College. This is a major step on the pathway to our college becoming a university. Collaboration is key to the success of all these initiatives. Working with communities, First Nations and stakeholders, we’re making great strides that are yielding results. In conclusion, I want to take this opportunity to recognize teachers, students, school councils, the Commission scolaire francophone du Yukon, parents and families, governments, leaders, community organizations and volunteers who contribute to life-long learning for Yukon students of all ages.

Ted Harrison made the ordinary extraordinary Our beloved Ted Harrison died Jan. 16 at the age of 88. Back in the late 1970s, Mr. Harrison was a high school teacher of mine here in Whitehorse. I remember him as a kind-hearted, friendly, joyful, passionate – and very creative – person. He always had a smile on his face and seemed to find the time to connect with every one of his students. Ted Harrison looked at the sky and found the time to praise its unique beauty. He coloured and shaped our northern world in ways some of us could not even imagine, even though we saw it with our own eyes every day. He saw it differently

and boldly brushed it into wild shapes and coloured it with the full spectrum. He quenched our thirst to see our ordinary world in extraordinary ways. I remember my dad telling us that Ted Harrison had told him that he had painted the Snider family in front of a church scene in one of his paintings. Years later I came across that very painting in Hawaii while house-sitting for some former Yukoners. There was my family, in colour and in light, the way Ted Harrison had seen us. Today when I take the time to look at the sky, it will feel a little bit brighter, perhaps even a little more colourful, as I hold Mr. Harrison close to my heart. Grace Snider Whitehorse, Yukon

Fracking’s risks outweigh benefits The fracking debate has raised a lot of public interest in the issue, in Yukon and elsewhere. The groundwater pollution concerns take me back to the 1960s, when I worked as a chemical engineer for Naugatuck Chemicals, the chemical arm of the Uniroyal rubber company. Naugatuck had a plant in Elmira, where the company made a number of toxic chemicals. The chemical processes involved produced waste products that were suspected carcinogens. While the company had a good record making a profit producing chemicals, it had a poor record on waste disposal, dumping a toxic soup in open pits on its property. This toxic soup eventually seeped into Elmira’s groundwater sources, causing the closing of municipal and private wells in a three square-kilometre area, as the pollution plume spread underground. It became necessary to pipe drinking water up from Waterloo. The cleanup of the Elmira aquifer has cost many millions of dollars, both public and corporate, and is tentatively not scheduled to be completed until 2028. For many years, the company’s management footdragged on dealing with the problem, downplaying concerns that were raised. The company also downplayed the concerns raised by Rachel Carson in her book Silent Spring. Carson was a marine biologist who initially raised the alarm over the indiscriminate use of chemicals, and was credited with the birth of the environmental movement. The

chemical industry’s response at the time was to attack the messenger. The lesson to be learned from Elmira is that it is much easier to pollute our groundwater than it is to clean it up, a lesson that is relevant to the fracking debate. The evidence relating to the danger of groundwater pollution from fracking chemicals is anything but conclusive, despite assertions from the industry to the contrary. Warnings from respected scientists suggest caution. A fairly simple risk analysis relating to the consequences of making the wrong decision is in order. If we follow the advice of those urging caution, and this advice is eventually proven wrong, then we have temporarily passed up some possible economic opportunities. If we ignore the concerns of those urging caution, and their concerns are eventually proven valid, then we stand to pollute our aquifers and other groundwater, causing a mess that will take a generation to clean up. This suggests that unless there is scientific proof, from a credible and independent body, that the fracking process is not a threat to our health, then we hold off buying into the fossil fuel industry’s arguments. Being stampeded by the industry is a recipe for making a mistake. It is useful to look back at the recent New Brunswick election, where the fracking debate turned into a major election issue. The government that felt its role was to act as a cheerleader for the fossil fuel industry was replaced by a

gas basket, and the suggestion that lower fuel prices will give a boost to manufacturing in central Canada sufficient to offset losses in energy production is naive. While lower fuel prices certainly benefit manufacturers, it was labour costs – not energy – that drove the exodus of manufacturing jobs from Canada. So for the moment we just don’t know. If you have a stable, full time, unionized Yukon Government job you likely have very little to worry about. But those of us who make our living in the private sector may feel a pinch even here in federal transfer land. If you have investments you have probably already seen a hit to your portfolio that wipes out any savings at the pump. Want to be a downer at a dinner party? Tell your friends who are excited about low gas prices to have a look at their portfolio. But my greater concern relates to how these low prices will influence behaviour. Unfortunately we humans are not great forward thinkers. These low prices will likely lead many of us to make a number of poor choices that ignore the imminent crisis of climate change and the reality

that prices will eventually go back up – like buying larger vehicles, foregoing renewables in favour of cheaper fossil fuel, or opting not to make fuel efficiency a priority. The fact that consumers buy more of those things that are cheap is among the most uncontroversial in the study of economics. For example, solar panels have come a long way towards being economical in recent years. Before fuel prices dropped, the cost having some panels installed had never been as competitive to the cost of buying power from the grid. But will a prolonged period of cheap oil set back some of the gains? If it’s plainly and significantly cheaper to buy power from the grid, will fewer make the switch? Economics says yes. Truck sales surged in 2014, and while this obviously can’t be attributed to falling fuel prices (which only took off late in the year) low gas prices will probably only exacerbate that trend. The effects of low oil prices could reverberate throughout the entire economy. Whenever a fossil fuel intensive option is weighed against an alternative, it just became much more likely that the

decision maker would choose the former. Politicians now have an opportunity to tip the balance. If I were a policymaker at this moment in history willing to spend some political capital on an idea that could prove dangerous to my electoral prospects it would certainly be a carbon tax. We have already become somewhat accustomed to high fuel prices, so relieving us of some of those savings would not be that noticeable and could cause us to think twice about making less fuel efficient choices. Given how far fuel prices have already fallen, we would probably have to settle for a carbon tax which, at best, encouraged consumers to not make things worse rather than make things better but that is still better than nothing. Saving money on fuel for our vehicles or heat from our homes is a good thing, while increasing our consumption of fossil fuels is not. It is important that policymakers create some incentive not to revert to the bad habits of the past. Kyle Carruthers is a born and raised Yukoner who lives and practises law in Whitehorse.

Nacho Nyak Dun chief says snap election ‘unlawful’ Myles Dolphin News Reporter

he chief of the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun says he isn’t taking part in the First Nation’s upcoming election, which he considers “unlawful.”

Chief Ed Champion told the News he wasn’t even in the territory when he heard the election had been called. “I was in Winnipeg in December for the Assembly of First Nations election when I found out about this,” he said. “I’m not running in this elec-

Nacho Nyak Dun Chief Ed Champion says he will not take part in his First Nation’s upcoming election because he considers it unlawful.

tion because if I did, I’d have to agree with it. The question is, what happens on March 6?” The election to choose one chief, one deputy chief, four councillors and one youth councillor is scheduled to take place on March 5. Champion, elected in Nov. 2012, is only two years into his four-year term. He said he has a few theories about why council had called the election. The first one has to do with Victoria Gold Corp., which struck an exploration agreement with the First Nation back in Dec. 2011. A letter of intent signed at the time lays the groundwork for the company

to stake new parcels on Nacho Nyak Dun land adjacent to Victoria Gold’s Dublin Gulch project. Champion said that when he was elected the following year, there was a review of all the mining agreements throughout the traditional territory. One that came to surface as needing a lot more investigation was Victoria Gold, he said. “When that became evident, a re-negotiation team was put together and they were to report back to the assembly periodically. It got to the point where it became very contentious.” Champion said council fired the re-negotiation team without providing him with any expla-

nation. Another source of contention is plans for a comprehensive review of the Nacho Nyak Dun’s constitution. “There have been a number of changes to our constitution over the past 20 years, which haven’t necessarily filtered their way through the acts and regulations, so things aren’t in alignment,” he said. “That’s what has allowed for an unlawful election to take place. Since becoming chief I’ve been pushing for a legislative review but nothing has happened.” No councillors responded to a request for comment by Wednesday morning. Chief electoral officer Georgina Leslie said her responsibility is limited to running the election once it’s been called. “Neither myself nor the election committee have the mandate to question a council resolution,” she wrote in a email. “That would go back to the ‘people.’” Champion said his authority as chief – another contentious issue within the First Nation – has been greatly diminished. Some members of the First Nation still believe in the chief ’s authority, while others don’t, he added. “When you think the Nacho Nyak Dun chief today has authority, you’re wrong. This is one of the issues why this is where we’re at.” Champion said he had the First Nation’s legal team speak to council about the validity of the election. If they go ahead with it on March 5, it’s “an accident waiting to happen,” he said. “March 6 is when the bodies start getting sorted out.” Contact Myles Dolphin at myles@yukon-news.com

themselves. “There’s one that’s a glass blower and another that’s a jewelry maker and another one built an absolutely beautiful home and put her own stain glass in it.” Photographer Heather Jones was a student of Harrison’s at F.H. Collins from 1976 to 1978. She describes herself as a shy student who would often help clean the art room after class. “It was during these after-school times that I pushed through my shyness and shared my interest in photography with Ted. He challenged me to create a story with my photos and share it with my peers as my ‘project,’” Jones wrote in a Facebook post. “The end result was my arriving at class with a vinyl record with a very well-worn track of Joan Baez’s “Windrose,” a slide projector and a carousel with 50 or so images of ravens and ice fog that I had spent hours shooting and organizing. “The nearly four minutes of my ‘presentation’ were a mix of terror and exhilaration. At its end Ted led the applause in the darkness as my last raven took flight and later took me aside to talk about the meaning of creativity, nurturing the artist within.” Harrison’s paintings can be found

in private and public collections throughout Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Germany and the United States. In 1987 he received the Order of Canada. Even as his own career took off, friends say Harrison was always willing to support other artists. McCullough remembers putting on an exhibition at the art gallery of First Nations artists Jim Logan and Ray Ladue. It was their first exhibition and Harrison showed up. “If you had an event he would be there, supporting everybody,” she said. McCullough said Harrison grew to become a mentor of hers. They would sit and have tea on the back porch of his Porter Creek house. That part of the house had a glass enclosure where Harrison would paint. “He wanted that northern light,” she said. She remembers her friend as someone who was always willing to use his talent to help a good cause – a signed print for a charity raffle or a discounted price for art being donated to public spaces. Harrison was born in 1926, the year of the U.K. general strike, and was a child during the Great Depression.

“He saw generosity in the most difficult of times and that’s how he was raised,” said biographer Katherine Gibson, who wrote about Harrison in her 2009 book. When it came time for Yukoners to return the favour, they didn’t disappoint. In the early 1980s, McCullough was curating a retrospective exhibition of Harrison’s work to send on tour to galleries across Western Canada. She wanted about 100 pieces, and it meant handing them over for about a year. She doesn’t remember a single person turning her down. “Of course we would,” she heard time and time again. “Anything for Ted.” That connection to the North didn’t go away when Harrison left the territory. “Even after more than 20 years in Victoria his heart was always in the Yukon. That never changed. That’s for sure,” Gibson said. When the book came out, Harrison returned north on a book tour. The lineup to get an autograph was huge. “People were just so happy to see him,” McCullough remembers. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

Mount Lorne’s Katherine Sheepway won two divisions, Carcross’ Crispin Studer defended his 30-mile title, Fox Lake’s Mandy Johnson reclaimed her 10-mile title and Ibex Valley’s Virginia Sarrazin won her first race at the 21st annual event held at the Mount Lorne Community Centre. “I’m very happy with how my races went,” said Sheepway. “It was a great day. I give my dogs all the credit, they worked so hard. I don’t think they have ever run that fast in their life before. It was all dog.” Sheepway was fast in her races and in between them. The 30-year-old won the 30-mile skijor race, switched dogs and rushed over to race the six-mile race. She is the first person in Carbon Hill history to win two events on the same day. “It was a tight turnaround,” said Sheepway. “When I got out on the six-mile, then I realized I was a little bit tired. I didn’t think I was before I headed out.” Not only was Sheepway the top skijorer in both races, she was the fastest overall, beating the sled teams as well. She finished the 30-mile race, which was actually closer to 38 miles (or 61 kilometres) long, in two hours, 37 minutes and 17 seconds. It was the first Carbon Hill win for Sheepway, who scratched during the 30-mile race last year. “This is the longest race I’ve ever gone into and finished,” said Sheepway. “Last year the trail conditions were too challenging for my team and I felt like I couldn’t control them. But this year the trail was totally different. It was a different course, it was groomed really well, and that made all the difference. It was nice and wide and smooth and fast.” Sheepway’s husband Darryl placed second in the 30-mile skijor with a time of 3:07:10, and

Thirty-mile sled division winner Crispin Studer comes into the finish at the Carbon Hill Sled Dog Race on Sunday in Mount Lorne. A total of 42 teams took part in the 21st annual event.

Cynthia Corriveau came third at 3:28:13. Katherine then won the sixmile in 20:26, beating Corriveau’s record time of 21:17 set last year. Catherine Mallett placed second in the six-mile at 24:12 and Natasha Brumer came third overall at 25:10, but was first for sleds. The way Studer describes the race, he was simply there for the ride. “Not one thing was a problem,” said Studer. “I was just standing on the runners and waiting until the race is done.” The 34-year-old won his second straight 30-mile dog sled title with a time of 2:43:15, almost an hour slower than last year. “There was a lot more uphill (this year), last year we stayed in the valley,” he said. Studer, who won the 30-mile dogsled race three straight years between 2008 and 2010, has now

“It’s not my goal for the season, you’d punch holes in it.

10-mile sled title at record speed. She crossed the finish line in 28 minutes, beating the course record of 30:35 set by Tagishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave Johnson last year. Mandy also won the division in 2013 and 20 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 1995 I was a teenager and my sister and I would go to as many races as we could â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we had just got our licenses,â&#x20AC;? said Mandy. Like Katherine Sheepway, Mandy outpaced her husband on the trails. Armin Johnson came in a minute behind his wife for second place. Natalie Sands slid in 10 minutes later for third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking my husband might beat me but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work enough today. Just kidding,â&#x20AC;? said Mandy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had jokes about it, we were bantering back and forth, before we came to the race. So it was kid of funny that I beat him today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just make sure we both have leaders and we have some yearling dogs, so we split them up evenly,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are teams that will go to the Fur Rendezvous (Winter Festival) in Anchorage at the end of February. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sprint race, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25-miles each day for three days, so we need more dogs.â&#x20AC;? Sarrazin picked up the 10-mile skijor title with a time of 30 minutes, placing third overall on the course behind the Johnsons. She considers it the biggest win of her race career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been training quite a lot for this distance, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy,â&#x20AC;? said Sarrazin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything went well on the trail, so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just do sprints; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do long distances. This is my distance. I just go fast on the short distance.â&#x20AC;? Claudia Wickert skied to

second with a time of 41 minutes, one second ahead of third placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Damaris Riedwyl. The Carbon Hill event was the season opener for the Dog Powered Sports Association of the Yukon (DPSAY), which was hosting the event for the first time after the Mount Lorne Community Association stepped down following last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. Organizers were pleased with having 42 teams over the five race divisions,

said Sarrazin, who is member of the DPSAY committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really happy with the turnout,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;DPSAY has taken over and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if people would still join in the event because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite different

â&#x20AC;Ś We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want this event to die because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big event in the mushing world.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody out on the trail today was really polite and it was just a beautiful run,â&#x20AC;? added Mandy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody was super

courteous, got the teams over if you passed. It was just nice to see everybody working together out there. It was one of the nicest races Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in for that.â&#x20AC;? Contact Tom Patrick at tomp@yukon-news.com

Juneau Capitals pick up wins on Yukon road trip an assist. Mustangs Nolan Matthews, Ethan Candow and Joshua Schenk also contributed goals. Preventing the shutout for Juneau in Saturday’s 4-1 loss was Huskies’ Kaelen Halowaty. Juneau’s tie on Sunday came against Scotiabank, which was supplemented with players from Booster Juice and Coldwell Banker. Three times in the game Scotiabank fought back from deficits to tie it. “Great and exciting back and forth game marked by excellent goaltending on the Juneau end,” said Scotiabank coach Mike Cozens. “Parents in the stands were really into the game and cheering.” Sunday’s game was pushed to a tie with Max Zimmerman scoring the tying 5-5 goal with 1:39 left in The Yukon home of

Three teams go undefeated at toonie tourney Tom Patrick News Reporter

wo Whitehorse teams and a Haines Junction team produced undefeated streaks en route to gold at the 2015 Whitehorse Minor Soccer Toonie Tournament. Sports Experts topped U7, Subvert.ca Shredders U9 and Haines Junction U11 in the tournament finals on Saturday at the Canada Games Centre. The Sports Experts team won five straight to reach the U7 final where they faced their toughest challenge yet. They won the final 3-2 in a shootout over the Purple Team. “Lots of energy. They all play really hard and go all-out the whole game,” said Sports Experts coach Tyler Bradford. “They were super aggressive the whole tournament. “I’m real proud of my boys and girls. They were all playing awesome.” The Experts drew first blood with a goal from Cy McDowell before Purple answered back midway through the half on a goal from Yakov Zurachenko, tucking the ball in the top corner. Following some close misses on free-kicks from Purple, Experts’ Andrej Benson scored on a breakaway early in the second half. A minute later Purple’s Declan Laliberty tied it on a tough angle shot. Experts players Chris McCarron and Bensen scored in the shootout for the win. The Light Blue Team took the bronze with a 3-1 win over the Whitehorse Firefighters.

Emily Organ got Creative Works’ goal. “It was exciting that we have girls finally,” said Junction coach Cindi Cowie. “We had Mya Kinney, Ecko Kirk and Psalm Clunies Ross … Everyone did really well.” “A lot of the kids have been together since they were six years old,” she added. “The girls are all new players, except Mya played a little bit with us once, and we have a few new players.

James Cook James (Jim) Cook passed away at Whitehorse General Hospital on Saturday, January 10, 2015 at the age of 81. He was born on October 29, 1933 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Jim’s home as everyone knew it was on the Alaska Highway Mile 1164 better known as ‘the Cook’s’ or ‘Koidern River Fishing Lodge’ south of Beaver Creek, YT where he shared many years with his loved one Dorothy and his four legged Lab-x Buddy. Jim had a zest for life... in 2009 Jim became ill and this was the start of a long hard battle. He was in and out of the hospital for years and in all that time he fought up until his ﬁnal day. He always had his humor even during the difﬁcult times. Jim Cook will be dearly missed by his best friend and wife Dorothy of 60 years. They were always at each other’s side as they worked together, played together and travelled together. Even though they did not have any children Jim loved their animals and treated all of his pets with love and affection as they provided security, companionship. Jim is pre-deceased by his parents Ruth and Thomas Cook. Brother Robert

Special thank you to Dr. Stewart, nurses, and friends who showed compassion and cared deeply for Jim overs the years. Jim will be remembered as a true pioneer as he touched many people’s hearts along the Alaska Highway. He was a courageous tough man who fought hard with a sense of humor. May Jim forever rest in peace as his spirit lives forever in the waters and on the bank of the Koidern River.

Edward E.Jackson 1926 - 2014

Ed passed away peacefully in Edmonton on December 26, 2014 surrounded by family. He is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Addy, daughters Shirley and Elizabeth, grandsons Brian and Colin, and great-grandchildren. After his service during WWII, Ed came to the Yukon in the late 1940s to work on the Alaska Highway when it was transferred to the Canadian Forces. In 1949 he married his sweetheart and brought her north too, and a family grew. During the 1940s, 50s and 60s Ed worked on the original construction or maintenance of every major road in the Yukon. Ed was a 60-year member of the Masonic Lodge and a lifetime member of the Whitehorse Elks. In retirement, Ed and his wife lived in Edmonton for many years, but his heart remained forever in the Yukon. In accordance with his wishes, Ed was cremated with a private interment in a family niche in Mount Pleasant cemetery in Edmonton. Condolences may be sent to the family via 867-668-5078. “HAPPY TO MEET – SORRY TO PART – HAPPY TO MEET AGAIN”

All mine contact water will be collected and routed to a Main Collection Pond (MCP) at the mine site. Water collected in the MCP will be used in processing ore and any excess water will be treated in the mine water treatment plant prior to discharge to the environment. Effluent discharge rates will vary over the course of the year and range from 2 L/s (183 m3/d) to peak values of roughly 30 L/s (2600 m3/d). The water treatment plant will remove cyanide and metal contaminants through cyanide destruction using SO2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C;air and high density sludge (HDS, respectively. The expected water quality in the discharge from the mine water treatment plant for the parameters of environmental interest is summarized in Table 2.
