ukon Wildland Fire Management says firefighters won’t be heading to B.C. to help with the wildfires burning there, at least for now. B.C. has put out a national request for firefighters to help with 220 active wildfires burning across the province. But a busy wildfire season in the territory means Yukon isn’t able to send anyone, said fire information officer George Maratos. If the Yukon’s conditions improve and B.C. still needs help, that could change, he said. There have been 78 wildfires in the territory so far this season, with 58 of them still active. That’s about on par with the Yukon’s five and 10 year averages, Maratos said July 10. But this year’s fires are larger than average. That’s because most of them are burning in remote areas. “So we can let them do their natural thing and therefore they’re going to get quite large,” he said.

This handout image shows a fire protection system in place to protect the Rampart House historic site near Old Crow. That includes the largest single fire currently burning in the territory, a blaze estimated at 62,400 hectares near kilometre 284 of the Dempster Highway. “Due to the size, travellers can expect closures, delays and smoky conditions,” said a statement from Wildland Fire Management July 10. Eight fires burning in the territory’s Northern Tutchone region have officials warning paddlers to stay away from the area’s major rivers, the Snake, Wind and Bonnet Plume.

A total of more than 60,000 hectares are burning in the area, creating intense smoky conditions, fire officials say. “The fires burning along these rivers are very large and active and because of that paddlers can expect to encounter thick smoke,” Yukon duty officer Mike Sparks said in the statement. “Our advice is to avoid the rivers if you can as the experience won’t be that pleasant.” Maratos said those eight fires have been burning for sometime but became more active over

the weekend. “It was quite hot in the area and windy so they’ve just kind of become more active and that’s why they’ve grown in size.” Meanwhile 25 fires are still burning around Old Crow. The most recent fire was caused by lightning Monday burning in the wilderness zone 76 km southeast of Old Crow. The only action firefighters are taking for now is to protect some resources in the area like the Rampart House historic site. Sprinklers have been set up around the buildings and brush is being cleared to keep the area safe, Maratos said. Another fire started July 9, 178 kilometres east of Mayo near the Plato airstrip. Firefighters in the area are currently focused on a 62-hectare blaze burning much closer to the community, about 11 kilometres northwest of Mayo near Minto Creek. Firefighters from other parts of the territory are expected to join personnel already on site today. Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

he Yukon government is hosting a poverty reduction and housing forum called Expanding the Connection: Poverty and Housing on July 12. The forum is part of the consultation process for developing a housing action plan for the territory, which includes an ongoing collaboration between several Yukon government departments, First Nations, municipal governments, the private sector and non-government organizations. “We need to build a stronger understanding of the connections between access to safe, affordable housing and poverty. This forum will provide an opportunity for the community to explore these connections and learn about innovative local projects,” said Minister of Health and Social Services Pauline Frost in a news release.

Jaime Rogers, manager of the Medicine Hat Community Housing Society, will be talking about some of the opportunities in Medicine Hat and the impact of the city’s plan to end homelessness. “It’s based on what works well and what we see working well,” said Rogers. In 2009, Medicine Hat pledged to end homelessness, meaning that nobody in the Alberta city will have to live in an emergency shelter or sleep rough for more than 10 days. The city met its goal by adopting a housing-first model, which ensures access to permanent housing before giving people access to programs that ensure they don’t end up back on the streets. Rogers will discuss the successes from her community. In the Yukon, the housing action plan has three goals: To help people gain and maintain housing with services, increase access to

adequate and affordable rental housing and to increase and diversify home ownership options, said Tim Sellars, the director of policy and communications for the Yukon Housing Corporation. Sellars said the housing corporation has partnered with Yukon Anti-Poverty Coalition to fund a housing navigator position and with the Kwanlin Dün First Nation to provide an alternative downtown emergency shelter for the winter. In March, YHC hosted a meeting with municipal and First Nations governments to learn more about their housing needs. They also shared information about available programs and funding opportunities. “By working with municipalities, First Nation governments and housing stakeholders on the Housing Action Plan for Yukon we are identifying local solutions to housing challenges,” said Sellars. But there’s still work to be done, said Sellars.

The priorities for this year are creating a web-based housing portal and working to create land banks specifically tailored to rural communities. “This is just a starting point,” he said. Contact Jamie-Lee at jamielee.mckenzie@yukon-news.com

RCMP investigating ninth homicide in 12 months Ashley Joannou News Reporter

he workload of the RCMP’s major crime unit is “through the roof,” and police officers are going to have to prioritize which cases get their attention first, said Yukon RCMP Supt. Brian Jones. The Yukon has now had nine homicides in the last 12 months including five since April. That’s a dramatic climb for a territory that went years without seeing a single murder. The Yukon had no homicides between 2011 and 2013, three in 2014 and one in 2015, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada. “The question is, is the ground permanently shifting or is this a terrible, horrible, year?” Jones said. “A terrible, horrible year will have an impact downstream for us for many years as we work on these (cases.) These files do not go away.” Earlier this week police ruled the death of Wilfred “Dickie” Charlie a homicide. Charlie was last seen near his Carmacks home June 19. His body was found in the Yukon River

July 5. On July 2 police charged Edward James Penner, 20 with first degree murder in connection to the June 28th death of 25-year-old Adam Cormack. The murder of Greg Dawson, is still being investigated. His body was found April 6 at a home in Riverdale. Police are also investigating the homicides of Wendy Carlick and Sarah MacIntosh. The women were found dead April 19 in the McIntyre subdivision. At this point there’s nothing that connects the crimes, Jones said. “We haven’t solved all of them, so that still remains open. Do I think that there’s a serial killer? No.” The RCMP’s seven-member major crime unit is leading the investigation in all of these cases. Along with the most recent murders, officers in that unit are responsible for investigating other unsolved homicides as well as various historic cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. RCMP officers from Outside were brought in to help with the Cormack investigation to free up

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Yukon RCMP Superintendent Brian Jones said the number of murders in the territory in the last year will have an impact on police officer’s workloads for years. local officers who were investigating Charlie’s death, Jones said. Those officers have since gone home, leaving the major crime unit in charge. “What they’re going to have to do … is have really difficult conversations about prioritizing the files that they have because there’s no way that they can work on all of them at the same time with the same speed and energy level,” Jones said. There’s no set criteria for which homicide cases will

get attention first, Jones said. Consideration will be given to how far each file has progressed and what evidence is available. “In each and every case it’s a difficult decision to make knowing that it has impact on families. Those are not easy discussions,” he said. Still, Jones said he’s confident cases will be solved. The spike in homicides will likely mean changes to the RCMP’s budget next year, Jones said. “What that’s going to

look like, whether that’s new money, reallocation of existing money, those are all discussions that we have to have.” Policing in the territory is paid for with a combination of federal and territorial money. Under the current policing agreement, the Yukon pays 70 per cent of the cost. The RCMP hasn’t made a formal request to the territorial government for more money but the Justice Department is in contact with the division,

said assistant deputy minister Al Lucier. “We are aware of the workload of major crime unit given the recent and unusual violent crime,” he said. Requests for long-term changes, like hiring more police officers, start around September so they can be worked into the next territorial budget. “We’re going to take a look at everything and then come forward as part of our annual submission,” Jones said. “This is an extraordinary time and I know that the status quo needs to change.” The RCMP could also request emergency onetime funding if the division believes it’s going to go over its annual funding cap for the year, Lucier said. That hasn’t happened yet either. The RCMP spending cap was not immediately available. The short term needs of a division in the middle of nine homicide cases are simpler for Jones to articulate. “Right now we need a break … we don’t need another (murder), fundamentally.” Contact Ashley Joannou at ashleyj@yukon-news.com

Council to vote on $18.8 million loan for new operations building Lori Garrison News Reporter

hitehorse city council weighed the pros and cons of a hefty $18.8 million bank loan for the new operations building at its July 10 council meeting. The overall budget for the project is $40.7 million for the original design, plus an additional $9.2 million for the transit building. Much of this money will be pulled from reserves and the federal gas tax fund, but the remaining $18.8 million must come from bank loans, staff told council at a recent standing committee meeting. Based on the offers from local banks, staff have recommended borrowing from TD Canada Trust. For the duration of construction, the city would draw funds like a line of credit, said chief financial officer Valerie Braga, meaning the money could be taken out as needed,

depending on where it is in the building process. The advantage to this style of loan, she said, was that the city did not have to start paying interest on the entire amount right away, but only what it had already borrowed, at a rate of between 1.62 per cent and 1.95 per cent. “This allows us to withdraw the money as we need it,” Braga said. “Once we have a construction schedule, we can better plan when we will need that money.” Once construction is complete, Braga said, the loan becomes a 20-year term loan, which allows the city to have a guaranteed interest rate on the $18.8 million of 2.62 per cent for five years. After five years, staff told council, the bank would have an “opt-out provision” which would allow it to negotiate the loan. Braga admitted this was “a risk” but one that city staff felt was low. “So, basically, if they opt

An artist’s rendering of the planned city operations building. The City of Whitehorse will have to take out a nearly $19 million loan to help fund the project. out, we have to start over again (with negotiations)?” said Coun. Betty Irwin. “Basically, yes,” Braga said. “But the bank has said they have never seen (the opt-out clause) used.” If all $18.8 million is spent, the city would incur $5.4 million in interest over the 20-year loan period, bringing the cost to $24.2 million by the time the loan is paid off. Coun. Rob Boyd said he

was hoping, in the process of these negotiations, the city would be able to pay off or consolidate some of its existing high-interest debt. Coun. Samson Hartland, who has been an outspoken opponent of the project, said he also wanted to know if taking out a loan this size would allow the city to consolidate existing debt. “We certainly don’t want

to carry an extra debt if we don’t need to,” he said. Braga said that it might be “possible,” because the city doesn’t plan to spend all $18.8 million, and leftover money could be used to pay down higher-interest rate loans already incurred by the city. “I’d like to keep digging at this until we get an answer,” said Boyd. Council voted to move the issue to third reading,

where they will make a final decision at the July 24 council meeting. The vote passed 5-1, with Hartland voting against. Coun. Jocelyn Curteaunu was absent from the meeting. Pending approval of the loan, the operations building contract still needs to be tendered. The deadline for tender proposals closes July 20. Contact Lori Garrison at lori.garrison@yukon-news.com

items, Moore asked the City of Whitehorse to give the society a break on the tipping fees and said his request was turned down. “There was a request for waiving tipping fees, (and) we’ve done that in the past for household reuse with different organizations throughout the city,” said Peter O’Blenes, the city’s Director of Infrastructure and Operations. He said the request wasn’t necessarily rejected, but that the city needed more information. In the past the city has waived tipping fees for organizations that accept household reusable items. “There’s a difference between waiving (fees for) waste from an organization and then waiving tipping fees for reusable donations to a charitable organization,” said O’Blenes. O’Blenes said the animal shelter should be contacting bylaw officers if people are illegally dumping garbage on the shelter’s property.

eople have been dropping off their unwanted garbage at the Mae Bachur Animal Shelter, costing the Humane Society Yukon approximately $1,200 in tipping fees. “I guess people are just feeling that they’re conserving and bringing it here, but when it’s a lot of stuff to be thrown out and disposed of, it creates more of a problem than a contribution,” said Dan Moore, the society’s executive director. It’s money that could be better spent on the animals, said Moore, who posted a statement to the organization’s Facebook page to remind people that the shelter is not a free store, recycling depot or garbage dump. Moore said this has been happening for the last four to six weeks. It started around the time that Raven Recycling closed their free store. People started dropping off items like mattresses and couches, that are no use to the humane society. “People still do drop off blankets and towels and things like that and we have a couple of donation bins out front which are designed for that,” said Moore. “It’s the bigger items like couches and beds, there’s no value to us.” With the added cost of removing the unwanted Wed, July 12 & Thurs, July 13

In a response to the society’s Facebook post, Coun. Roslyn Woodcock said the city’s tipping fees are reasonable and there’s no excuse for people dumping items at the animal shelter. “Tipping fees are very low. Considering a person comes up with between $500 (and) $1,000 to buy the following items it is pathetic to suggest they can’t find the funds to dispose of it correctly. Fees for a mattress (are) $15, a couch $10, a fridge $40. The cost is not the issue,” she wrote. The animal shelter does accept donations for their yard sales. But these are items that the shelter approves and puts in storage to keep them out of the elements. “When you raise a certain amount of funds at a yard sale and you have volunteer staff, having to divide that out over the amount of time and money that it’s taking to dispose of all the stuff that’s coming in that’s not of value, it begins to be an issue of whether or not it’s worth it,”

said Moore. The humane society’s board of the Humane Society Yukon is meeting in July to discuss what can be done about the dumping. Moore believes ending the yard sales would solve the problem. “I think if there was no yard sale, I think it probably would deter the bigger items,” said Moore. But he also believes that this could be a good opportunity to discuss what could be done about the lack of options for reusable items. “Educating people about what is of value, where it can go, who offers what services and maybe opening a discussion again,” said Moore. In addition to the closure of Raven Recycling’s free store, the Salvation Army’s thrift store closed in April because people were dropping off too much garbage. The free store at the city dump closed last November after staff found a hypodermic needle in a pile of used clothing. Contact Jamie Lee McKenzie at jamielee.mckenzie@yukon-news.com

CTFN citzen says CTFN demolished building he owned without consent Lori Garrison News Reporter

arcross/Tagish First Nation citizen Dwayne Johnson claims the First Nation knocked down a three-bay garage that he owns without his consent. The garage was once part of the Chootla Indian Residential School, which was operated by the Anglican Church in Carcross from 1911 to 1969. As part of a healing, environmental and social remediation process, the CTFN is demolishing buildings associated with the school. The garage was torn down June 10 by the CTFN development corporation. The company said it demolished the building on the orders of CTFN and the federal government. “We did demolish that building,” said Nelson Lapine, managing director for the development corporation. “CTFN is the owner as far as I know.” There are many social and emotional issues tied up with the school, Lapine said. “We respect what the Carcross/Tagish First Nation mandates,” he said. “We’re really a very small part of this.” Johnson said he bought the building from his uncle, Howard Atlin, for $2,500. He provided the News with a copy of the handwritten bill of sale detailing the purchase, dated June 10, 1990. Atlin acquired the building from CTFN, he said. Johnson provided a copy of a band council resolution dated November 19, 1985, between the then-Carcross Tagish Indian Band and Atlin, which stated that Atlin had requested to use the building and been granted access to it as a woodworking facility. Atlin was responsible for any costs associated with the building, it said. “Whereas the Chootla School lands and associated buildings are under the jurisdiction of Carcross Tagish Indian Band…. Therefore let it be resolved that Carcross Tagish Indian Band agrees that Howard Atlin use the Chootla garage for the said

The Carcross/Tagish First Nation demolished a building formerly part of the Chootla Indian Residential School, but Carcross resident Dwayne Johnson claims he owned the building. purpose (of a woodworking shop).” While the letter Johnson provided only states that the CTFN granted his uncle the permission to use the building, Atlin said he eventually obtained legal ownership. Given how long ago the transfer was made, he said, he is not sure where the receipt is. However, he had to have and show legal ownership to the electricity company in order to have power installed at the time, he said. “That was the only way to get power in there with Yukon Electric then, was to show ownership,” he said. Janet Patterson, spokesperson for Yukon Energy, said proof of ownership would one of the things that would be required to hook up electrical service. Atlin said he had the electrical utilities in the building installed, the infrastructure of which would later be used by the houses adjacent to the property. “I put all that in there… and then people started hooking up to it,” he said. Johnson provided the

News with a receipt from August 14, 1986, which show Atlin paid $1,540 to Swales Electric to wire the shop. Johnson said he had not used the building for several years. In 2012, he suffered from an accident that left him in a wheelchair and unable to work. Prior to

that, he said, he had worked as his uncle’s apprentice in the shop, and had used the building as a garage to do auto painting and body work. Johnson said he did not receive a formal letter from CTFN informing him they planned to tear down the

building. “I went to all these meetings (about the remediation) and it was all for nothing, they still kept me in the dark,” he said. Johnson’s friend Stan James Jr. was using a shed behind the garage that was also part of the residential

school. It was demolished at the same time as the garage. James said he didn’t have a legal title to the property, but that he had been using it “for years and years,” and had put money into its repair and upkeep. “When I found it, it was all falling down, run down,” he said. “I fixed it up, painted it, put a door on it.” Two calls to Michelle Parsons, the executive director of CTFN, and four calls to Daphne Pelletier, the communications manager for CTFN, made between July 10 and July 11, went unreturned. CTFN chief Andy Carvill spoke to the News late in the afternoon of July 11, but declined to go on the record. CTFN offered Johnson $3,000 in compensation for the building last week, Johnson said, and told him “not to think about the offer too long.” Johnson said the offer was not in cash, but in credit for lumber. “It was a pretty huge garage,” he said. “Three thousand dollars wouldn’t even build a lean-to for my car to stand under.” Johnson said he declined the payout. “I just want people to know about what’s been going on,” he said.

ustin Trudeau’s Alberta mistake, followed by the braying and screeching, has even the Washington Post (amusingly) taking note. The hullaballoo prompts me to declare: I’m an Albertan. Alberta’s home. My family has lived there for decades. I’m heading back there to teach at the University of Calgary’s law school soon enough. And, yes, I’m a liberal/Liberal. But just because I’ve worked for a three-majority Liberal prime minister (Jean Chrétien) and a three-majority Liberal premier (Ontario’s Dalton McGuinty) doesn’t mean I’m ever afraid to criticize my own team. I’ve roughed them up pretty good over the appalling Omar Khadr payment, for example. So believe me when I tell you: this Trudeau forgetting Alberta thing is a prairie-style butt truffle. It’s stupid. Why? • Come on. Do you seriously think, conservatives, that he’d leave out Alberta on purpose? Like, seriously? If you think that, you’re stupid. Sorry, but you are. • He apologized! The second he realized his mistake, Trudeau walked back to the microphone and corrected it. “I’m a little embarrassed. I got excited somewhere over the Rockies,” he said. “Alberta, I love you. Happy Canada Day!” • Alberta matters. The guy doesn’t just love Alberta, he needs Alberta. Since 2013, he’s invested considerable political capital and resources in winning Alberta seats and it’s paid off – even in my hometown of Calgary, a political earthquake last experienced a half-century ago. • Watch him. The day after he announced his run for the Liberal Party leadership in his home riding – the day after – Trudeau went straight to Calgary and professed his undying fealty, as well as his disgust with his father’s signature National Energy Program. That did not go unnoticed in Alberta. • He’s walked the talk. Trudeau’s spilled a lot of political blood, in B.C. and elsewhere, to fight for the pipelines Alberta needs to get its oil to market. On his watch, Keystone XL approval happened. On his watch, Trans Mountain approval happened. On his watch, Enbridge’s Line 3

Lori Garrison approval happened. A Conservative prime minister didn’t get those things done, a Liberal prime minister did – a Trudeau, no less. • Who cares? Sensible Albertans shrugged about the sloppy speechifying. Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, for instance, called the resulting controversy “silly,” because it was. “I screw up speeches all the time,” Nenshi said. So do the Conservative politicos who brayed and shrieked about Trudeau’s snafu. • Alberta has clout. Trudeau put two ministers from Alberta in his rather small cabinet. That’s the same number as Manitoba, one more than Saskatchewan and one less than B.C. Overall, Ontario has the most representation at the cabinet table, followed closely by the West. That matters. • Respect. Alberta Liberal legend Darryl Raymaker has recently written an excellent book about Alberta and the Trudeaus, called Trudeau’s Tango. In it, Raymaker reminds everyone that the Trudeau name has always been controversial in Alberta – but respected, too. The name gave “Alberta Liberals hope,” Raymaker writes. The father then – like the son now – “was a man for his time – new, youthful, superbly confident, tough, and equally articulate in both official languages.” What made Pierre Trudeau appealing in Alberta in his era makes the son just as appealing in his. Conservatives dominate Alberta – but the Trudeaus (and Rachel Notley) remind us they don’t own it. • Check the numbers. Polls say

Trudeau’s still competitive. CBC’s Eric Grenier – who most recently took an up-close look – says that, even with the Tories way ahead in Alberta, Trudeau is still doing well enough to win again. In fact, Grenier notes, at about 26 per cent support, Trudeau is still tracking a couple of points higher in Alberta than he did on election day 2015. While the Conservative Party of Canada, notably, remains where it was on that day. • It was an innocent mistake. None of the conservatives who leapt on Trudeau’s gaffe – Jason Kenney, Brian Jean, Michelle Rempel, et al. – were nearly as outraged as they claimed to be. They were, as politicians do, taking political advantage of a rival’s slip. It was a mistake, to be sure. But not a career-ending one. Albertans (where I grew up) are like Quebeckers (where I was born). They see themselves as a distinct society: part of Canada but arguably better than the rest of Canada. As such, when offered the opportunity, they will never hesitate to moan that they’ve been harmed and humiliated and hurt. It’s in the genes. So will Albertans let Trudeau’s slip slip by? Not on your life. When even the Washington Post takes note of the mistake, there’s braying and screeching to be done!

left, the left turner turns immediately behind the oncoming car’s rear bumper. If both are turning left, their front bumpers pass each other. Right turners, as at any intersection, proceed any time it is safe to do so. I was once driving in San Diego when a power outage blacked out the traffic lights. Amazingly, traffic continued to flow smoothly and safely. Each major intersection was treated, by all drivers, as a four-way stop. There I was at a huge intersection of two straight lanes, a

right turn lane, and a left turn lane in each direction — a total of sixteen lanes! North and South went first — straight-ahead cars passing mid-intersection with left turners scooting immediately behind them, then the same happened with all of the east and west cars. There were no long line-ups or hesitations. It went like clockwork. If San Diego can do it with 16 lanes, surely we can do it with four.

LETTERS Practice your four-way stopping The new four-way stop at 3rd and Ray gives folks an opportunity to get good at four-way-stop best practices. The old four-way stop at Quartz and Industrial was a disaster. Why? Because cars entered the intersection one at a time, as if there were a single queue. An efficient four-way stop sees the cars from opposite directions enter the intersection at the same time. If they are both going straight, they pass midway. If one is turning

Omar Khadr might be no angel, but Canada still violated his rights

don’t buy into the more extreme narratives that exist regarding Omar Khadr. He is neither an unrepentant bloodthirsty terrorist nor a morally blameless victim. But I do think that Canadians who angrily denounce him at every opportunity need to put his life into some perspective and move on from the demonization that surrounds his case. The characterization of Khadr as a terrorist who murdered U.S. soldier Christopher Speers (who, contrary to popular mythology, was not acting as a medic at the time of his death) slipped so casually into the discourse in the moral panic following Sept. 11 that we have scarcely taken the time to think about how those

words apply to his circumstances. At the time of his capture, Khadr was on a military battlefield defending a compound against an assault by American armed forces. A point that doesn’t seem to get mentioned nearly enough is how unusual it is in modern western history for a combatant (of any age) to face criminal or criminal-like proceedings for their participation in an armed conflict. In the normal course, a prisoner of war could be subject to a different set of rules. We typically reserve criminal-like proceedings for actions that are uniquely heinous — like intentionally targeting civilians or committing atrocities. While I certainly don’t approve of the ideology he was fighting to defend, he was more like an enemy soldier than a terrorist. Even the vast majority of everyday German soldiers — who were fighting to defend the vile Nazi regime — were allowed to carry on with their lives after the end of World War II. They were not charged with “murder”

because they might have caused the death of Allied soldiers. The United States, in the wake of Sept.11, attempted to create the legal fiction that those who fight them militarily on the battlefield are unlawful combatants and not soldiers, and therefore are not entitled to the protections of the Geneva Conventions. These days anyone who fights for a sub-national force in opposition to western forces is blithely dismissed as a terrorist — even in the absence of evidence that he targeted a civilian. These arguments are morally dubious and widely rejected by legal experts. Yet the discourse surrounding Khadr has seemed to legitimize them. His detractors say Khadr is guilty of murder and his supporters rarely contest that characterization. Even if we assume that a soldier on a battlefield is “murdered” when killed by opposing forces, there is also the deeply problematic nature of both the process and the evidence that was used to convict Khadr. It is far

from clear from the evidence that it was Omar Khadr who threw the grenade that killed Christopher Speers. His guilty plea — which his detractors use to condemn him — was offered to a kangaroo court, under the threat of life in prison without trial. It is evidence of nothing and I suspect most of us would be wiling to admit to just about anything in those circumstances to see light at the end of the tunnel. I don’t accept the argument that a mature child can’t be held morally accountable for their actions. But Khadr’s age at the time, his upbringing, and his apparent rehabilitation are certainly relevant considerations. It is remarkable how often his extremist family is raised in condemnation of Khadr as if we are all vicariously guilty for the sins of our parents and siblings. If anything Khadr’s upbringing is a point of mitigation. Omar Khadr wasn’t some suburban teen who received a western upbringing who rejected the values he was raised with and opted to travel abroad to fight against

his country. This is a young man who was raised in a situation where what he did seemed normal and right. I won’t go so far as to say he didn’t have a choice — although I think that case could be made — but he was certainly put on the wrong path by the most influential people in his life from the beginning. Would I have been excited about the prospect of him returning to Canada in 2003 and let loose in society? No. But in light of his young age at the time, he was a prime candidate for rehabilitation. If Khadr is guilty, he has already served his time in the worst possible circumstances. He didn’t just spend nearly a decade at Guantanamo Bay, a hellhole unfitting of a western democracy. He spent most of the time wondering if he was ever going to be released after being tortured by of his captors. As for the settlement itself, in light of the various Supreme Court of Canada decisions finding that the government violated Khadr’s Charter rights, seeking to settle the matter out of court seems prudent. The cost of

defending this case would have been astronomical and futile. I am disturbed by calls from some quarters to depart from the usual rational, calculating approach to such litigation by dragging it out and aggressively pursuing a losing defence in order to take one last dig at Khadr on principle. Nothing good would come from that. I don’t like the idea of Omar Khadr getting $10.5 million and not convinced that such a sum is necessarily justice. But Canada being forced to pay it certainly is. We ought to be punished as a country for participating in the human rights travesty that is Guantanamo Bay. And we ought to remember this expensive and uncomfortable lesson the next time one of our allies proposes to dispense with the Geneva Convention and the rules of war. And I think it is past time for us as a society to forgive Khadr —distasteful as it may seem — and move on with our lives.

Canada only undefeated team at softball worlds Tom Patrick News Repvorter

ive-and-Oh, Canada! With five straight wins Canada is now the only undefeated team at the 2017 WBSC Men’s Softball World Championship in Whitehorse. The defending champion team has clinched a spot in the championship pool of the playoffs and is guaranteed an eighth place finish or higher. Canada scored nine straight runs in a 9-4 come-from-behind win over Australia on July 11. Once again cool heads prevailed, said Canada head coach John Stuart. “We’re taking it one game at a time and we look at every game like we can win it,” said Stuart. “We’re confident in our hitting and our pitching, everything is falling into place. We got down 4-0 and our players were saying on the bench, ‘We’ve been here before.’ We’re a calm and patient team and there’s no panic in us whatsoever and that filters from the top all the way down to the bottom.” Trailing by four in the bottom of the second, Canada catcher Ryan Boland cranked his team’s first grand slam of the tournament to tie the game. Canada took the lead in the third when infielder Derek Mayson grounded to left field to score outfielder Bradley Ezekiel from second. In a bit of déjà vu two innings later, Mayson again brought Ezekiel home with a line drive to left field to make it 6-4. Mayson is leading his team at the plate with a .545 batting average. Infielder Mark Johnson kept the inning lucrative

ship. The Newfoundlander allowed five hits for the Aussies with 15 strikeouts. “That wasn’t what we wanted to do early, but I’m fully confident in my teammates. We’ve certainly been there before and we’re never out of a game,” said Cleary. “We have two big games coming up in the next couple of days, so we’re not done yet and we’ll keep on going,” he added. “We knew that he had a bad inning and he was going to bounce back,”

said Stuart. New Zealand, Japan and Venezuela — and Argentina in Canada’s pool — are going into Wednesday with 4-1 records. Japan lost 8-1 to New Zealand on July 10, New Zealand lost 7-3 to Venezuela on July 11, and Venezuela lost 7-0 to Japan on opening day. New Zealand has the most titles with six — the last coming in 2013 — and was runner-up to Canada at the last championship in 2015.

“That was a couple years ago and it’s a changed team, changed venue, new event, so we can’t live on the memory of 2015,” said New Zealand head coach Mark Sorenson. “It’s cold. I’ve got like seven layers on at the moment in the middle of summer,” he added of the tournament thus far. “It’s a lovely complex here and I’ve seen some pretty good knowledgeable fans, so it’s always good to play against good teams in a good

This week Canada beat South Africa 10-2, Argentina 8-3, U.S.A. 7-1 and Hong Kong 14-1. They will face the Dominican Republic today at 7 p.m., and India tomorrow at 3 p.m. to finish the round robin.

THE ARTS Rain fails to dampen Atlin fun Andrew Seal & Sharon Nadeem News Reporters

rainy start wasn’t enough to dampen the fun at the 2017 Atlin Arts and Music Festival. Ben Caplan lit up the main stage on Friday, followed by a powerful performance by DJ Dash and the Dakhká Khwáan Dancers. After the night’s performances were done, a few dozen people braved the ongoing downpour for a late-night campfire jam in the not-so-quiet camping area. The jam was organized with the blessing of the festival, which made sure there was enough wood to keep everyone (somewhat) dry. “There was no jam the last couple years, so we talked to the organizers to make sure something would happen,” said one volunteer as he dropped a few logs into the blaze. “This is a really important part of the festival.” No one is really sure when the jam ended, but those who persevered through Friday’s rain were rewarded with blue skies and sun on Saturday. Taking advantage of the chance to dry off, festival goers crowded around the lakefront Atlin Mountain Inn stage to catch the likes of Gordie Tentrees and Rose Cousins. “This is one of the top folk music festivals in the country,” said Tentrees, who has played at Atlin the last several years. “This is the bar I hold other festivals to. It might be the most family-friendly festival out there.” Tentrees performed multiple times over the weekend, usually with Jaxon Haldane, who was in Atlin for the first time. “Just look at this backdrop,” said Haldane. “It’s simply stunning.” As day turned to eve-

Jessica Frotten speeds to two titles at track nationals

Shelley Lewis/Yukon News

Whitehorse’s Jessica Frotten won two national titles at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Ottawa, July 3-9. Frotten will represent Canada at her second world championship next week in London, England. Tom Patrick News Reporter

hen Whitehorse’s Jessica Frotten arrived at the Canadian Track and Field Championships last week she was greeted by a huge thunderstorm. “I thought, I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come,” she said. It might have been — Frotten was lightning-fast on the track. The 29-year-old para wheelchair racer won two national titles at the championships in Ottawa, July 3-9. “It was really good. No (personal bests) or anything, but I had some good solid races,” said Frotten in an interview from Nottwil, Switzerland. “I’m feeling really good.

We’ve been in Switzerland for three days. We’re just having a little staging camp here and then we go to London on Wednesday.” Frotten, who is in Switzerland preparing for the World Para Athletics Championships next week in the U.K. capital, won gold in the 200-metre and 800-metre events in Ottawa last week. She finished second in the 200 behind Paralympian Jessica Lewis of Bermuda, who was not eligible for medals as a non-Canadian. Frotten finished in 31.61 seconds, just 0.01 behind Lewis. “We didn’t know who had it at the line and then we came across and they announced it,” said Frot-

Glacier Bears win streak ends at B.C. AAAs Tom Patrick News Reporter

or the first time since 2011, the Whitehorse Glacier Bears didn’t win a medal at the SwimB.C. AAA Long Course Championships, held July 6-9 in Kamloops. But that’s not to say there weren’t highlights for the team, represented by Cassis Lindsay, Rennes Lindsay and Hannah Kingscote. Cassis made two A finals in the women 16-18 division and set a club record. She placed fifth in 50-metre backstroke in 31.89, setting a new and Glacier Bears club record. Cassis also took seventh in the 50-metre freestyle (28.38) and and placed 15th in the 50-metre butterfly (30.59). “Cassis and Rennes were really struggling at the end,” said Glacier Bears head coach Malwina Bukszowana. “They didn’t train super hard (because) they were sick and it took months for them to recover. We even skipped some swim meets we were supposed to (attend).” Kingscote made an A final in girls 14-15, finishing sixth in the 50-metre backstroke (32.55). She also placed 11th in the 100 back at 1:08.69,

“Hannah had a really good backstroke, she improved her backstroke recently and it was nice to see her beat her best time by quite a lot,” said Bukszowana. “She improved her best time in Kamloops in June, so it was

a very good swim meet in backstroke events. “She was so close to qualifying for Canada juniors, I think she had a very good meet — especially for backstroke.” Rennes made two B finals in the girls 14-15

division, taking 11th in the 800-metre freestyle (9:46.65) and 14th in the 400-metre individual medley (5:24.10). Rennes is the only Yukon swimmer to qualify for the Canadian Junior Nationals, taking place in

Toronto in the last week of July. “She swam hard right to the swim meet because she already has Canada juniors (qualifying times),” said Bukszowana. “She’ll swim faster at Canada juniors because I didn’t give her as much rest as (Cassis and Kingscote) because she didn’t have to qualify anymore.” “Both Cassis and Hannah were just milliseconds away (from qualifying),” added Bukszowana. Rennes and Glacier Bears teammate Kassua Dreyer also competed at the B.C. Open Water Swimming Championships on July 10 in Salmon Arm. Dreyer placed seventh in the one-kilometre for girls 12-and-under and Rennes matched that result in the two-kilometre event for her age group. Rennes, Dreyer and Kingscote will be among 10 Yukoners who will compete at the Canada Summer Games that begin at the end of the month in Winnipeg. They will be joined by Glacier Bears teammates Ella Pollock-Shepherd, Emma Boyd, Cassidy Cairns, Brooklyn Massie, Alex Petriw, Thomas Bakica and Aidan Harvey. Cassis Lindsay is over the age limit.

King ends Kulych reign at Yukon Golf Championship Tom Patrick News Reporter

t had been a while since a name other than Landon Kulych was at the top of the men’s leaderboard following a Yukon championship golf tourney. Two years, to be exact. “It was getting a little ridiculous,” said Whitehorse’s Dan King. “He’s a really good competitor and he works hard at it so he deserves all those wins.” King interrupted Kulych’s win streak at the 2017 Yukon Golf Championship at Whitehorse’s Mountain View Golf Club, July 8-9. The 34-year-old won his second territorial men’s title with a threestroke win over Kulych. The two played the final round in two different threesomes on Sunday so neither was sure where they stood in the standings until they reached the clubhouse. “I made a comment to Adam (MacDonald), ‘I wish there were some leaderboards out here.’ It would have determined what I did on those last couple holes,” said King. “I guess it worked out — I managed to hold him off.

Canada’s U19 team returns home to cheers after historic world championship win Melissa Couto Canadian Press

TORONTO J Barrett couldn’t help but take a friendly jab at his father when asked about his impact on his basketball career. The 17-year-old son of Rowan Barrett — a former standout on Canada’s men’s basketball team — arrived at Toronto’s Pearson Airport on Monday night with a gold medal around his neck from the FIBA under-19 World Cup in Cairo. The Canadians toppled Italy 79-60 in Sunday’s final after upsetting

the powerhouse United States 99-87 a day earlier, handing the Americans their first loss at the tournament in six years. RJ, a shooting guard from Mississauga, Ont., averaged 22 points per game (and poured in 38 against the U.S.) to earn MVP honours while leading Canada to its first ever world title in any age group. “I mean, I don’t think my dad can say he beat the U.S. so I’ve got that on him,” RJ told a throng of reporters, glancing at his father a few feet away with a sly grin. The elder Barrett had been beaming moments earlier as his son made

his way through a crowd of chanting fans, friends and family to embrace him. He didn’t seem to mind the jab, but RJ switched gears anyway, speaking instead about the lessons he’d learned from his father. “With my dad, when I was growing up I saw the amount of work that he put in,” RJ said. “There’s always people coming behind trying to take your spot and I don’t want anyone to take my spot.” A star on the rise, the younger Barrett is shaping up to be the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA draft. He called the FIBA

HOST A HORSE

Advertising It’s good for you.

gold medal — rectangular in shape with hieroglyphics on the back as a nod to the host nation — the top honour he’s achieved in his basketball career to date. But there’s a lot more he wants to achieve. “Pretty simple — go to college, go to the NBA, be a star,” Barrett said of his goals. Head coach Roy Rana believes his top player has the tools to do that. All smiles and clutching the FIBA trophy while speaking with reporters, Rana showered Barrett in praise. “When he steps on the floor he performs at such a high level,” Rana said. “We’ve seen some special performances in world championships before. … This one will go down as one of the best at any FIBA event.” The team’s flight was

delayed nearly three hours, but when it arrived in Toronto, the players and coaching staff were greeted by loud cheers from friends, family and fans who had gathered to welcome them back. Children waved small Canadian flags as the players walked through the arrivals area. Rana said the historic win still hadn’t sunk in over 24 hours later. He said his team will enjoy their success but not rest on it. “Expectations have changed,” he said. ”The pressure is heavier but maybe that’s a good thing. They embraced that.” Both Rana and Barrett spoke at length about the significance of their win against the U.S., a team that had dominated the event, and every other in

basketball, for decades. That victory felt even sweeter for players like Danilo Djuricic and Lindell Wigginton, who play collegiate ball in the U.S. Djuricic, an 18-yearold forward at Harvard, felt the performance put Canada on another level. “There was a lot of debate about whether Canada can hang with the U.S. and we proved it in the semifinal,” the Brampton, Ont., native said. ”Knocking them out and going on to win the championship, we’re showing Canada can hang with the best in the world.” Wigginton, a Halifax native and point guard at Iowa State, put it more succinctly. “We got bragging rights,” he said with a smile. “We can talk about that for the rest of our lives.”
