It’s also considering the territory’s plans to build an outdoor sports complex and a continuing care facility in Whistle Bend, and it faces a controversial decision about whether to allow allterrain vehicles on Rotary Centennial Bridge.

“Now we’ll be steering the boat with six instead of seven, which is a bit of a bummer. But I take solace in the fact that Christine Smith has an amazing team in place. We’re more than capable of running the city with six.

“Everyone has to make their own personal decisions, and Coun. Cameron made his. Quite frankly, if I decided to resign every time I was disappointed with a decision that was made administratively or within my council, I wouldn’t be mayor for very long.”

Cameron won a byelection in Dec. 2011 when he beat out 13 other candidates to win the seat vacated by former councillor Doug Graham.

In 2012, he was elected to city council in the municipal election.

In the time he’s served, Cameron said he’s most proud of council’s ability to listen to its citizens and their concerns.

“I think the mayor’s initiative to set up the town hall meetings was excellent. It’s a way to get more dialogue going in the community,” he said.

He’s also proud the city managed to keep its latest tax increase at 1.7 per cent, despite undertaking a $56-million building consolidation project.

“I’m saddened to step away because I want to contribute to my city,” he said.

“I believe there’s still a lot of work to be done here, I’d like to serve again. If people say they want me to step back up again, it’ll have a huge impact on whether I run in October.”

Police later executed a search warrant on a residence in an undisclosed part of Whitehorse.

“As police believed weapons would be present at the locations, the Emergency Response Team with their specialized training and techniques were deployed to assist in these arrests to minimize risk to the officers and the public.”

RCMP says the arrests are “the culmination of a police-wide effort to address a group of offenders in our community.”

Steven Bullers, 40, of Whitehorse is facing a single charge of traffick-

ing in cocaine.

Jeffery Redick, 34, and Taylor Wallace, 23, of Whitehorse, as well as Jason Morgan, 33, of Abbotsford are each facing multiple charges, including possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a prohibited weapon and possessing a loaded restricted firearm.

Bullers will be in court today for a possible bail hearing.

The others are being held behind bars for now while they try and find lawyers. They are scheduled to be in court next on Thursday.

Housing planned for homeless with mental illnesses Ashley Joannou News Reporter

A

transitional home for homeless or hard-to-house people with mental illnesses is scheduled to open in July.

The Yukon Department of Health and Social Services put out a request for proposals last week looking for a non-profit group to help run the facility.

The paperwork is available on the government tender website but the department has refused to comment since Friday.

“An announcement is imminent,” spokesperson Pat Living said yesterday.

According to the documents, the new facility will house people with “diagnosed, persistent mental health challenges” who are homeless or in an unstable housing environment.

The facility will be run as a partnership between the Department of Health and whatever group is chosen, the tender says.

Daily management of the building and staffing it 24/7 with a team of support workers will be the responsibility of the non-profit.

Therapeutic or medical needs will fall to Health and Social Services.

The facility will be managed by

a “mental health practitioner” employed by the Health Department, according to the documents.

“The focus of the transitional housing will be to provide clients with both stabilization and skill development,” the paperwork says. Stabilization would include “increased mental health support through treatment, counselling and medication adjustments.”

The Health Department will be in charge of coming up with a plan for each resident that might include connecting them with other resources like alcohol and drug services, doctors or psychiatrists.

Skills programs include cooking, finances, cleaning, and reading skills development.

People are expected to be able to live there for between six months and two years.

The idea is to aim for “realistic integration into an independent living situation.”

The building, on Fourth Avenue, appears to be the former home of the Options of Independence Society. When that group, which offers supportive living for people with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, moved into a bigger facility in February of last year, the building went back into government stock.

There’s no word on if any upgrades or renovations have been done on it since then.

The building will house between five and 10 transitional clients at any given time, the document says.

It has five self-contained units, an office and a small common space.

Suites have two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, an eating area and a living area.

The units may be used for either single or double occupancy, depending on a person’s situation.

Detailed criteria for who might qualify to live there is still being worked on by the government.

Along with a mental illness, residents may have substance abuse problems but cannot have any significant cognitive deficit, the documents say.

The person has to be willing to follow a treatment plan.

Residents can’t be Yukon Review Board clients or be under any other order from court.

Groups who submit a proposal are being asked for a budget. It’s unclear how much the government is willing to spend.

The plan could be seen as the Yukon Party’s response to a plan championed by non-profits in recent years but ultimately rejected by the

government.

The idea, called Housing First, would have given some of Whitehorse’s hardest to house a place to live – and to drink. The idea is that fighting alcoholism is a lot easier to do when you have a roof over your head.

Several years ago a coalition of groups proposed building a 20-unit facility to help the Yukon’s hardcore homeless alcoholics, with the aid of federal housing money that’s being administered by the territory. There were some meetings with territorial health reps, but that project died.

The new transitional home similarly targets people who are hard to house. Though the focus is on people with mental illnesses, the plans say some could also have substance abuse problems.

However, everyone at the new facility has to be willing to comply with treatment plans.

It is difficult to say how many homeless people there are in the Yukon.

In 2010, the Whitehorse Housing Adequacy Study concluded there were upwards of 107 homeless people in Whitehorse that April and May. That included people in the homeless shelter, but also those who were camping, squatting in aban-

doned buildings, or couch-surfing.

Those numbers came from a questionnaire designed by the Yukon Antipoverty Coalition and the Yukon Bureau of Statistics. It was distributed to Whitehorse residents who receive social assistance, those on the affordable housing waiting list, and those who frequent various non-profits that offer social support.

Bill Thomas, co-chair of the antipoverty coalition, said the organization is always in favour of more supportive living. But the question remains where clients will go after they leave the transition home to live independently, he said.

“It certainly is an important part of a solution, but it’s missing a big chunk,” he said.

It’s important that rent be affordable for when people are ready to live on their own, he said.

“We aren’t talking about people that are in income groups that can consider private ownership,” he said.

“Even though prices are coming down in Yukon, they’re still not anywhere near the kind of price levels that the coalition is interested in.”

The tender looking for a nonprofit to run the new building will be awarded by May 15.

espite a new pitch from the territorial government, residents of Mount Lorne are still firmly against developing the McGowan lands into a country residential subdivision.

That’s according to 35 comments submitted by residents to the government following a public consultation held in November.

The comments were posted on the hamlet’s website at the beginning of March.

“The proposed McGowan subdivision is a disaster for both residents and wildlife, their corridors and their habitat, within the Cowley, Aspen and Kookatsoon Lakes watersheds and surrounding areas,” wrote one resident who has lived in the area for 43 years.

“My impression, as a long-time Yukoner, is that individuals and families that would enjoy a rural lifestyle want to have the space and silence to enjoy what that offers and not to be crammed into yet another rural residential subdivision,” wrote another.

Since 2005, the territorial government has made efforts to develop the McGowan lands, an area south of Cowley Creek, in the northwest portion of Mount Lorne.

In 2010, it presented the hamlet with a technical feasibility study that suggested building between 70 and 140 lots on the land.

But many residents were concerned the project went against the hamlet’s local area Wednesday, Mar 18 & Thursday, Mar 19 Whitehorse Yukon Cinema Whi8thorse 304 Wood Street Ph: 668-6644

A home under construction in the Mount Lorne area.

plan, which states there cannot be any rural residential subdivision in Mount Lorne.

So they asked the government to review its study, and almost five years later it has come back with a new proposal.

It includes the options of a “loop” concept or a “pod” concept.

The loop concept would yield between 90 and 95 country residential lots at 1.5 to 2.5 hectares in size, and 12 to 14 agriculture lots. The loop road layout, safer than having multiple cul-de-sacs, would be the less expensive option to build.

The pod concept would have a bigger footprint to accommodate larger agriculture lots, while yielding between 80 to 85 country residential lots at one to two hectares each. The culde-sacs would provide more open spaces between the pods but the concept would be more costly to build and maintain.

Al Foster, deputy chair of the Mount Lorne advisory council, said the new proposal still isn’t what the community wants.

“Our local area plan is out of date and we’ve been asking for a review, which was supposed to happen every five years,” he said.

“That hasn’t happened yet.

As far as meeting the principles of the local area plan, (the proposal) is way out in left field.”

ficial said a review of the plan wasn’t practical at the time.

That’s because the Carcross/ Tagish First Nation had asked for a regional land use plan to be in place before local plans were reviewed.

Created in 1995, the local area plan set a minimum lot size of six hectares in Mount Lorne, while the government wants to reduce that to one hectare for the McGowan subdivision.

Judging from the comments on the hamlet’s website, residents are concerned about the impact that would have on the community.

“That could potentially mean having a dog kennel on every one hectare lot,” Foster said, adding there’s already a high concentration of dog kennels in the hamlet.

The main migration route for the Southern Lakes caribou herd would be affected, too.

Other concerns include the average pricing for a McGowan lot – about $120,000, which would put it out of reach for most young people, he added.

But residents understand there’s a need for new people in Mount Lorne, where the population is about 410, Foster said.

The local area plan included the development of eight new lots per year, to assure a steady but not overwhelming population growth.

The government has never developed those lots, Foster said.

Judy Linton, the acting director of land planning, said the government’s next step would be to go back to the community within a month or two, set up another public meeting and provide residents with a revised concept based on the feedback it has received.

Yukoner’s compost cleaning machine earns U.S. patent Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

G

arret Gillespie is out to revolutionize the industrial composting industry.

This week, with a U.S. patent in hand, he’s one step closer to that goal. A Canadian patent is expected to follow.

“It really is significant. To get a patent is not easy,” said Gillespie.

His invention is the Plastic Separator, a machine that takes plastics, stones and metal out of compost.

He has partnered with Cold Climate Innovation at the Yukon Research Centre to get the idea this far.

“Garret came to us with an idea,” said Stephen Mooney, director of Cold Climate Innovation.

“And this is our open-door policy for any Yukoners to bring their idea forward.

“Our job is to help people like Garret with their idea and take their idea through research, innovation to commercialization.”

So far the machine prototype has gone through four incarnations.

An earlier version, the Plastovac, now lives on Vancouver Island where it is estimated to save a compost facility $250,000 a year in dumping fees associated with the disposal of compost that is contaminated with plastic.

The problem of plastic in compost is huge, said Gillespie.

“Plastic is just a ubiquitous problem, and is a side-effect of our economic system,” he said.

“There’s plastic everywhere.

Plastic is contaminating just about everything we touch.”

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Garret Gillespie has received a U.S. patent for his invention, which is able to remove plastic from compost in large quantities.

People who want to buy compost for their garden don’t want to find bits of plastic in it.

Contamination levels can reach as high as 25 per cent, Gillespie said.

“There’s a bunch of charlatans out there marketing plastics as being biodegradable, when they’re not.”

People believe they’re using a biodegradable coffee cup, for example, so it ends up in the compost. But in reality it doesn’t break down.

“There’s a lot of greenwash going on here,” said Gillespie.

On top of that there’s just lazi-

ness – people who are not careful enough about what they put in the compost bin.

The end result is that a lot of the compost that industrial facilities produce is unusable.

At the Whitehorse facility, which Gillespie operated until recently with his company Boreal Compost Enterprises, about half the compost that comes in ends up in the landfill because it’s too contaminated, he said.

There are other machines designed to get the plastics out, but increasingly they just aren’t working well enough, said Gillespie.

“The problem is that the scope

of plastic contamination seems to be growing, so they’re just not capable of coping with the degree of contamination.”

The top-of-the-line European models still often leave half the plastics behind, he said.

The latest incarnation of the Plastic Separator, on the other hand, is consistently removing 99 per cent of the contaminants.

It works using a combination of vibration and blowing air.

The compost is loaded into the top of the machine, and works its way through. The machine vibrates, which floats the plastic to the top. Air then blows the material off the top and out a chute to the side.

A conveyor on the other side pulls out rocks and pebbles, and a conveyor out the rear carries the finished compost.

The smallest model that Gillespie plans to build will process about five dump trucks worth of compost an hour. The largest may do three times as much.

Gillespie has partnered with a U.S. company that works in industrial agricultural machines to get some prototypes built.

Those will then be tested before rolling out into production.

About $3-4 million will have been invested in the idea by that time, he said.

He expects that the eventual price tag will start at $250,000, and rise to half a million or more depending on the model.

But if the machine keeps as much compost out of the landfill as Gillespie expects, it will pay for itself quickly at an industrial facility.

“It’s basically an essential tool for moving towards zero waste,” he said.

Yukon government pitches $200M plan to upgrade highway near Whitehorse Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

T

he Yukon government is seeking public feedback on a $200-million plan to widen the Alaska Highway to four lanes from Macrae to Crestview.

The plan, prepared by consultants CH2M HILL, would also see passing lanes and intersection improvements from just south of the Carcross cutoff to just north of the North Klondike Highway turnoff.

WEIGHT RESTRICTION NOTICE

We wish to advise residents and trucking & transportation companies that weight restrictions may be imposed on Yukon highways during spring break-up.

Restrictions may be imposed at any time with 48 hours notice.

Please plan ahead for heavy deliveries such as fuel and water.

“The study arose out of increasing concerns with traffic congestion and traffic safety on this section of the Alaska Highway, within the Whitehorse municipal boundaries,” said Mike Howes, project manager with CH2M HILL, at a media briefing on Monday.

Those issues “are only expected to get worse as the population continues to grow,” he said.

In addition, property owners with direct highway access can expect a change. The government is planning to add frontage roads that residents would share with their neighbours to get to a single access point to the highway.

The majority of the work will be done within the existing highway right-of-way, said Howes.

However, about 32 properties will be directly affected by work as currently proposed.

The government plans to nego-

In addition, the consultants found the stretch of road to be “somewhat problematic from a safety perspective.”

The stretch saw 46.5 average annual collisions from 19962009, 26 per cent more than expected based on prediction models from B.C. Construction on that section of the highway could begin as early as 2016, and might take five years to complete.

The second priority would be to upgrade the highway from Kopper King to Crestview, at an estimated cost of $50 million.

The timing of that work is dependent on Whitehorse’s population growth, and the consultants recommended that the upgrades be complete before the city hits 35,000 residents.

The long-term vision would see further improvements from Golden Horn to Robert Service Way to the south, as well as

from Crestview to the City of Whitehorse boundary to the north. That work will cost an estimated $100 million and should be done by the time Whitehorse’s population hits 47,000, according to the plan.

A summary of the plan and a survey has been mailed out to Yukon residences and businesses.

More information is available at www.placespeak.com/ whitehorsecorridor, including detailed maps and simulated fly-over videos of the planned improvements.

Yukoners can also 1-866692-4484 or email whitehorsecorridorinfo@ch2m. com with questions or feedback.

Public open houses will be scheduled for the week of April 20. The deadline to provide feedback on the plan is May 15.

tiate with owners to secure the required sections of that land, at an estimated cost of $1.5 million.

The consultants have recommended that the section of highway between Robert Service Way and just before Kopper King be upgraded immediately, at an estimated cost of $52 million.

That work would see widening to four lanes, intersection improvements, and a paved multi-use trail along the corridor.

“Based on our analysis those areas are not meeting the current requirements for the corridor,” said Howes. “They’re not meeting the level of service that we established as the desired design criteria for the corridor.”

The level of service is a measure of the average speed on the highway, per cent time following another vehicle, and time waiting at intersections.

the trouble and was given clearance to come back.

“In the next minute the engine continued to give trouble and then lost all power,” he said.

Bamford did what experienced pilots do: he looked for a safe place to land.

“Basically we were now a glider, and the only straight bit of stuff under me was the Copper Haul Road. So I headed for there,” he said.

“We clipped a tree and it spun the plane around so we slid backwards and then of course tore the skis off and (did) extensive damage to the wings and so on.”

But the actual landing, which he was able to do into the wind, had “marvelous progressive deceleration, absolutely no shock at all,” he said.

Everyone was able to walk away.

Bamford won’t speculate about what happened to the engine before an investigation is completed by the Transportation Safety Board, he said. The board is aware of the crash.

“I’ve had this plane for 10 years and it never gave a hiccup of trouble. So I’m pretty sad about the plane.”

Through 25 years of flying, Bamford has other experiences with crashing.

In 1991 another engine failure caused him to crash an Ultralight plane in Faro. He walked away from that one too.

“The pilots all say that any landing that you walk away from is a good landing,” he said.

He said it’s too early to say whether this latest crash will keep him from flying again.

But he still talks like a man with a clear love of aviation.

As a kid growing up in Dublin, he wanted to be a commercial airline pilot.

“I used to cycle miles to the Dublin airport and watch the planes coming and going for hours. I was fascinated by it. It seemed unreal.”

But shortsightedness kept him on the ground. So he became a doctor.

“In those days you had to have perfect vision to be a pilot, but now you’re allowed to have corrected vision,” Bamford, who is nearly 60. “Years later I got laser surgery, so my eyes are fine.”

He’s been living in the Yukon since 1988. Within two years of arriving he started to learn to fly.

“Flying has been part of my life in the Yukon since I got here.”

OPINION Deceit on display in government’s fracking plans Rick Griffiths

D

ishonest. Deceitful. Arrogant. These three words fully describe the behaviour of the Yukon Party government in their response, recently leaked to media, to the report by the select committee on fracking.

This paper, prepared by Shirley Abercrombie, acting assistant deputy minister of Energy, Mines and Resources, was only intended for presentation to the Yukon Party caucus. The response uses, as its underlying pretext, the fact that the all-party select committee did “not recommend a ban or moratorium on fracking” to endorse “multi-stage horizontal fracking.”

Having agreed upon 21 recommendations that clearly described the necessity to gather baseline data with regard to the water, air, wildlife, seismic activity and human health, and recognizing the significant “gaps in knowledge and understanding” about fugitive greenhouse gas emissions and impacts on well integrity, groundwater, land, seismic activity and human health, the select committee was unable to reach consensus about whether or not to recommend fracking in Yukon.

Why not, when the logical answer is so obvious? Why put Yukoners and the Yukon at risk? Simply put, Yukon Party committee members were either reluctant to deny the oil and gas industry or they lacked the courage to do the right thing.

For the Yukon Party government to now use the failure of

their own members to act as an excuse to go ahead with fracking is deceitful and dishonest.

It is instructive to note that the other document also leaked to the media, a draft speech prepared for EMR Minister Scott Kent, intended to be delivered to an unknown public audience, makes no mention whatsoever of recommending “multi-stage horizontal fracking.” Instead, this speech uses the “softly, softly” approach of steps the Yukon government will take to prepare the public, especially Yukon First Nations, for fracking. Kent will “agree that… requirements… for baseline data and potential impacts… should be in place for all industrial activities [and] we [will] fill any gaps in our baseline information.” Any gaps, Mr. Kent? Yukon has next to no baseline data and accumulating this will take years, facts not mentioned in this draft speech.

The Yukon Party government’s new plan “to engage First Nations” is an effort to break down opposition. We hope Yukon First Nations recall the powerful testimony of Fort Nelson First Nation, a people with real life experience of fracking, who warned of fracking’s “severe and farreaching consequences” when they described the significant impacts to their environment and treaty rights.

Abercrombie and Kent will “target First Nations, the general public and stakeholders” by launching what is euphemistically referred to as “an information campaign.”

honest word. Expect assurances that “Yukon’s regulations are robust, modern and designed to regulate all oil and gas activities,” as Abercrombie’s document states. The best regulations in the world cannot protect people, water, wildlife, land and air from fracking’s harmful effects.

New York state banned fracking in December because the vast majority of approximately 400 peer-reviewed studies about fracking clearly indicate how harmful it is to people and the environment. As Yuri Gorby, PhD chair of environmental engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, said, “Fracking is an intrinsic danger to air, water, climate and health and cannot be regulated into safety.”

Climate change and the need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels are not mentioned in either government document.

Oil and gas development play a significant role in increasing greenhouse gas emissions, yet the assistant deputy minister and the minister’s proposed Reporters

speech is all about burying our collective heads in the sand, ostrich-style, in the hopes that climate change will pass Yukon by.

Abercrombie’s response views Yukoners as dupes, asserting that “most people cannot evaluate the merits of fracking and find it difficult to reach an informed decision.”

How arrogant and patronizing.

Towards the end of Kent’s draft speech he is to tell us that the government “remains strongly committed to the responsible and sustainable development of Yukon’s oil and gas resources.” Sustainable? A finite

resource? One has to wonder just who is uninformed.

Finally, we will be told that the Yukon Party government “will proceed with caution and transparency.” Has the government behaved transparently in deciding to proceed with “multi-stage horizontal fracking?”

It almost goes without saying, but this arrogant, dishonest government deserves no trust. Peel away the glibness in these documents and there’s a watershed of deceit.

In the Peel fight, big firms probably mean big bills

by Kyle Carruthers

POINTED VIEWS

T

he Yukon government announced late last week that it has retained a large Toronto law firm to handle its appeal of the Yukon Supreme Court’s decision on land use planning in the Peel watershed.

The firm that the government has hired – Torys LLP – is one of the largest in the country and maintains offices in New York City and several Canadian cities.

Wherever you stand on the Peel appeal, it is fair to ask questions about what this means for taxpayers and whether it is costeffective to hire a Bay Street firm for a case like this.

It is well known that large firms are expensive in comparison to their smaller counterparts (fancy glass skyscrapers and big

firm overhead, you know) so the decision to retain one is not one to be taken lightly. Unless the big firm is willing to offer a deal on its fees, it is important to carefully evaluate whether or not you actually need one for the matter at hand. Simply switching lawyers already means some additional cost, as the new lawyers need to get up to speed on the case.

A big law firm can be extremely useful in certain situations.

The first is when the facts of a case are complex and numerous.

A small firm would quickly be overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of documents if it attempted to litigate the construction of the SkyTrain or handle the merger of Tim Hortons and Burger King. A large firm, on the other hand, can marshal the resources to handle these matters.

But the facts in the Peel case are not complex or particularly contentious. The “findings of fact” took up only five pages of Judge Veale’s 92-page decision, so it is difficult to see what a big firm brings to the table in that regard.

A large firm may also be needed if the subject was of such

Sacking of city managers requires an explanation Open letter to Whitehorse city council: As a former city councilor (2000-2012), I find the recent developments at City Hall to be more than a little disconcerting.

Firstly, I fully understand that the city manager, Christine Smith, was within her rights to terminate Brian Crist and Robert Fendrick. The “without cause” part of the decision will likely be played out in court, at what will surely be a costly affair for the taxpayers of Whitehorse if it happens.

As one of those taxpayers, I find the fact that there is no explanation to us for what will be a very expensive decision by the city manager to be quite a bit more than a little disconcerting.

I understand that personnel issues are normally a private matter, but where many thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of taxpayers’ dollars are concerned, a line in the sand needs to be drawn.

Now we learn that Coun.

Kirk Cameron has resigned in protest of the dismissal of the city’s most senior executives, which is extremely unfortunate as Mr. Cameron is (was) in my opinion one of our most effective city councillors. Only the fact that Mr. Cameron has resigned this close to the October 2015 municipal election saves us the cost of a by-election (estimated to be I believe in the proximity of $10,000).

During my last term on city council, I worked on a committee with Ms. Smith in her capacity as director of community services with the Yukon govern-

ment. I found her to be very professional, very thorough and very open. So why all the secrecy surrounding this issue?

As the city manager is the only position in the City of Whitehorse that reports directly to mayor and council, I think it is incumbent on you to put the interests of the taxpayers that elected you first, and instruct the city manager to explain her actions publicly.

If you don’t, perhaps it is time we all started to think more seriously about that upcoming municipal election.

EI cutbacks make life tough for White Pass workers I work for the White Pass & Yukon Route where I work as a section foreman. I’m also our shop steward. Our job is to maintain the track from Carcross to the Alaskan border.

The work is both challenging and rewarding. Our job is to ensure that customers have a safe and enjoyable experience on the train.

Our work is also seasonal – as is a lot of the tourism industry. Every year we’re laid off and put on recall until the line opens the next year. That also means that for a good portion of the year, we’re out of work and many of us have to apply for employment insurance, or EI. In years past, this was a fairly straightforward process: you

a technical or specialized nature that few, if any, lawyers outside of large firms practice it. Tax, securities and patent law would fall into this category.

Aboriginal law does not. There are many knowledgeable, skilled practitioners outside of “big law” – including the government’s previous counsel, John Hunter – who could more than capably explain the relevant law to the appellate courts.

So why did the government decide to hire a large firm to handle its appeal?

Since hearing the news I’ve imagined Premier Darrell Pasloski banging on the table in front of his deputies demanding the “best darn lawyer money can buy.”

There is a strong possibility that this decision was taken because, in the minds of Pasloski’s cabinet, bigger and more expensive is better and therefore more likely to be successful in the appeal.

As I’ve opined before, the Yukon Party seems to have a vastly over-exaggerated sense of the Peel decision’s precedentsetting value. As soon as the decision was released the government attempted to spin its

decision to appeal as being about the decision’s implications for future land use planning. I’m not sure whether Pasloski’s erroneous insistence that this case has significant implications for the authority of public government over land use is a public relations strategy or a genuine misunderstanding of what Justice Veale actually said.

The good news for those who want to see the Peel protected is that this is hardly a “game changer,” and they should not be intimidated. The government’s chances of success in its appeal are probably the same as they were before. Ultimately this decision will be made by justices of the appellate courts, who are astute legal minds in their own right and will look carefully at the law before making up their own minds.

As a citizen, I’d prefer that the government not appeal Judge Veale’s decision, but as a lawyer I do not agree with those who believe that this appeal is “wasteful.” As I’ve written before I think the government has an arguable appeal of the part of the Supreme Court decision, which effectively

binds the government to follow the land use planning commission’s restrictive plan for the region.

But the government should always seek to minimize its litigation expenses. Without the terms of the government’s retainer with its new counsel – which is not yet complete – it is hard to know what this change means for taxpayers. The Department of Justice’s outside counsel policy, which governs lawyers contracted by the government, sets the maximum hourly rate of $325 per hour unless a higher rate is approved by the assistant deputy minister.

The conventional wisdom in the legal community is that big firms mean big bills. It is always possible that the government secured some sort of a deal.

My only hope is that the government has considered the interests of taxpayers in negotiating with its lawyers, because it is difficult for me to see anything more than a marginal improvement in its prospects.

“It’s going to take political will. And political will is in part the sum of political incentives.

That is the sum of what the electorate, what Canadian citizens, will tell governments that they’re willing to vote for.”

The analysis suggested a single-payer system for drugs would cut private-sector drug costs – those absorbed by private companies, unions and uninsured individuals – by more than $8 billion. But the cost to government could rise by $1 billion.

Morgan said taxpayers might

be willing to pay an additional dollar in taxes for $8 in savings on prescription drug-related costs. “I would take that return on investment any day,” he said.

Health economist Steven Lewis agreed that pharmacare could be a win-win: “Better for the public and better value for money.”

But Lewis was not certain the savings would be as significant as Morgan and his co-authors predicted.

“Practice is very hard to change – experts have been cautioning physicians about

overdrugging the elderly for decades and many have expressed concerns about over-medicalization, but the culture is hard to change. So … I’m less optimistic about better prescribing on a grand scale,” he said in an email.

LIFE An explosive line of work Myles Dolphin News Reporter

I

t was on a Saturday afternoon back in 2001 that Cpl. Wayne Gork found himself in a bomb disposal suit handling a case of unstable dynamite.

Fresh off his technician’s course the month before, Gork had been called to a residence on the Mayo Road where a woman was going through her late father’s property and her husband came across the explosives.

Soaked in nitroglycerin – which can happen when old dynamite “sweats” over time – it was highly volatile.

“All you have to do is move that the wrong way and it’ll go off,” Gork said.

The decision was made to dig a burn pit, gently move the dynamite and neutralize it with a chemical solution over a three-tofour hour period.

The next day, they found 18 more sticks in a garbage bag under the man’s bed.

Fortunately, they were in better condition and easier to dispose of.

“That’s the worst I’ve ever had up here in terms of commercial explosives,” said Gork, the co-ordinator of the Whitehorse RCMP’s explosive disposal unit.

The part-time group, made up of three members in the territory – two in Whitehorse and one in Watson Lake – has a mandate of dealing with the criminal use of explosives.

They also recover commercial explosives when required, do VIP duties from time to time and take in ammunition from the public, Gork said.

Members have to be tested every three years at the Canadian Police College’s explosive training unit in Ottawa, where they are put through 12 scenarios to test their skills.

They learn how to build and dispose of explosives, how to use equipment such as bomb disposal robots and how to use counter charges to mitigate improvised explosive devices.

If they make two mistakes, they’re sent packing.

In Gork’s line of work, your first mistake is usually your last.

That’s why teamwork is so important.

“When I’m in the suit, about to go down, it’s very heavy and hot in there, you’re restricted in movement,” he said.

“You know your procedures and protocols but under those conditions you’re likely to forget something. The ‘number two’s’ job is to mark the time you’ve been in the suit and talk to you the whole time, making sure you’re doing every step properly.”

When Gork trained in 2001, his instructors told him he couldn’t stay in the suit for more than 15 minutes “because it was 90

degrees in there.”

The suits, which weigh around 60 pounds, are usually made of Kevlar-type material with ballistic plates to protect from fragmentation, and a blast-resistant helmet.

He’s also trained in CBRN – chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defence.

That came in handy in 2006 when two separate threats were made at federal buildings in Whitehorse.

For the one at the Elijah Smith building downtown, the RCMP had to ask for assistance from the regional EDU team based in Vancouver, B.C. “Those were the days of anthrax,” Gork said, “so you can’t take that chance.”

It turned out to be bread crumbs in an envelope.

More recently, his unit dealt with a suspicious package that was left behind at the same building.

It turned out to be harmless, but the building had to be evacuated and the surrounding streets cordoned off, as a precaution.

It’s easy to label certain things as suspicious, Gork said, but others aren’t so cut and dry.

There have been instances when Gork has been called about luggage left behind at the airport, which just turned out to be someone’s honest mistake.

“Every circumstance is different and it depends on the information we have and collect,” he said.

“In this day and age we have to be careful because there have been some threats made against Canada. We have to be vigilant.”

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Cpl. Wayne Gork demonstrates the features of a bomb disposal robot at the Whitehorse RCMP detachment.

With a background in mechanical engineering, Gork was a weapons technician for the Canadian Army for eight years.

He got his first taste of explosives work during an overseas visit to England in 1991 for the Bisley shoot, a rifle competition, and the Irish Republican Army had made some threats.

Gork was the driver of an unmarked van and he had to sweep the vehicle for explosives with a mirror.

When he left the army in 1993,

he became a police officer in Ottawa and was eventually posted to the Whitehorse detachment in 1997.

A few years later, he began working with the EDU as a “striker,” someone who shadows the unit to learn more about its practices.

“They want to see if you fit the mold for the type of work,” he said.

“If you have the skills, they send you away to Ottawa for the training.”

Gork is now one of the instructors at the training centre, and he plans on going back there in November to teach.

If EDU members make it to 12 years, they’ve done well, Gork said.

He calls himself one of the “old timers.”

“I know when I retire, it’ll be one of the things I’ll really miss,” he said.

“It’s been really rewarding.”

If so, thank you for reinventing it. Your guests will be puzzled at first, but may discover how pleasant it is to attend an event where the focus is on their enjoying themselves, rather than celebrating their hosts.

In the dim past, when socializing was done just for fun, the name of the event was an indication of the degree of formality. “Gala� is a term associated with fundraisers, so Miss Manners suggests your simply calling it a party.

You will still be besieged by guests asking, “What should I bring?� and “Where are you registered?� by others who have never heard of selfless hospitality. Miss Manners hopes that you will take the opportunity to explain it to them. It would be a nice custom to revive.

Beatty snags gold at ski nationals Myles Dolphin News Reporter

D

ahria Beatty won the Yukon’s first gold medal at this year’s Haywood Ski Nationals in Thunder Bay, Ont. The 21-year-old, who cleaned up last year’s event as a junior with five medals, won her first title as a senior skier in the five-kilometre skate race on Sunday.

She came out on top in a field of 71 racers, beating second-place finisher Perianne Jones by 3.7 seconds.

The win came as a bit of a surprise for both Beatty and Yukon head coach Alain Masson.

The skate race isn’t normally her best event, Masson said.

But both times she’s been on top of a national podium this year, it’s been for a skate race.

“I love five-kilometre races so I just went out hard,” Beatty said.

“They’re almost over before you know it. I’m usually stronger in the classic races but worked really hard on my technique last summer.”

Beatty said that included a lot more roller skiing and working on the roller ski treadmill at the Alberta World Cup Society facility in Canmore, Alta.

“I definitely think my technique has greatly improved in skating this year, I’m able to hold the proper position even if I get tired. In the past I’d sort of lose it.”

Ian Stewart/Yukon News

Dahria Beatty competes in the 2011 Canada Winter Games. Beatty won gold in the five-kilometre skate race at the Canadian Nationals in Thunder Bay on Monday.

It’s been a very busy 2015 for Beatty so far.

Cross-country races have taken her to Latvia, Finland, Estonia and even Kazakhstan.

She said the fatigue may have contributed to her fifth-place

finish in yesterday’s 10-kilometre classic, a race in which Whitehorse Olympian Emily Nishikawa won.

“I’m always happy to be in the top six on the podium,” Beatty said.

“If you have a good race you

always try to hold onto that feeling for the next one. I’m tired overall from the long season but I know everyone here is too, especially those of us who’ve raced in Europe.”

The Whitehorse Cross Country

Ski Club, represented by 18 skiers at the nationals, sat in third place in the overall club standings as of Tuesday afternoon, Masson said.

Last year, it placed second out of 59 clubs.

Masson said the younger skiers have done particularly well, especially those racing in their first big events.

The club won three bronze medals on Sunday and had six top-20 finishes overall.

On Monday, it did even better with five top-10 finishes.

Racing conditions have been tricky this week. Warmer temperatures during the day are causing the snow to melt, while freezing temperatures overnight are causing ice. It even led to Knute Johnsgaard breaking a ski pole during his open men 10-kilometre race on Monday. He still managed to finish ninth.

“Lots of crashes and broken equipment,” Masson said.

The club still has two more sprint races, as well as the mass start on Saturday, the day the event ends.

Beatty said she’s excited to take part in her first ever 30-kilometre race.

“It’s the longest I’ve ever raced, so I’m not really sure what to expect,” she said.

“But I’m looking forward to it and we’ll see what happens.”

Yukon Distress & Support Line Volunteer Supervision Facilitator Under the supervision of the Drop-in Centre & Support Coordinator, Drop-in Centre volunteers are involved in drop-in centre program implementation, resource material management and providing peer support. The tasks associated with this position include providing peer support to people accessing the centre, assisting Coordinator with social and recreational programming, updating resource materials and assisting Coordinator with additional tasks.

Our Program: The Yukon Distress & Support line is a toll-free, Yukon-wide phone line available nightly from 7pm-3am. This service is confidential, anonymous and nonjudgmental and is operated by trained volunteers.

Volunteers meet a minimum requirement of two 4-hour shifts per month which are run from 7pm-11pm and 11pm-3am. For all shifts there is an oncall support staff who provides debrief, answers questions and is available to come in to the office to assist the volunteer with high-risk calls.

Volunteer Supervision: As it is equally important that volunteers are provided with support as it is that they are supporting the community, each volunteer is to be paired with a professional supervisor as part of a volunteer team.

Supervision involves a facilitator meeting with their assigned group of 8-10 volunteers once per month for 1.5 hours. These sessions are to focus on the volunteers’ experiences on the line, challenges that have come up, and education around stress management, self-care and setting boundaries. On occasion, a volunteer may want to meet one on one with the assigned facilitator.

Time Commitment: 1.5 hours per month for group (time slot determined by volunteer availability) + some email correspondence Group: 8-10 volunteers assigned by the Yukon Distress & Support Line Director Activities: • Email correspondence with volunteers to determine themes/educational piece for upcoming group • Creating a safe space for volunteers to debrief during 1.5 hour session once per month • Creating learning opportunities around self-care, stress management etc‌ • Reading through call reports taken by volunteers in assigned group to gain greater understanding of issues faced on the lines • Recognizing when volunteer requires additional support or time off and communicating this to Yukon Distress & Support Line Director Desired Qualifications: Master’s Degree in Psychology, Counselling, Social Work or applicable educational background; Experience facilitating groups; Interest in being part of a community-based program Contact: Hailey Hechtman, yukondistressline@gmail.com , 667-2970 ext 228. http://www.second-opinion.ca/
