Sinkhole knocks Fort Smith off communications grid By MEAGAN WOHLBERG The town of Fort Smith was cut off from the rest of the world for 17 hours last week after a sinkhole along Highway 5 damaged the bre- optic line late Thursday morning affecting phone cable and internet service. Residents in Fort Smith lost access to cellular data long-distance calling cable TV internet and wireless services start- ing at around 1130 a.m. Thursday. Ser- vice wasnt fully restored until 450 a.m. on Friday. AccordingtotheNWTdepartmentofTrans- portation DOT the disruption was the re- sult of work being done along Highway 5 to repair a sinkhole that had opened up within Wood Buffalo National Park. The department under the direction of Wood Buffalo National Park was di- rected to go out there with a load of gravel and a private contractor with an excavator in order to address a sinkhole that opened up on the side of the highway right on the shoulder said DOT regional superinten- dent Greg Whitlock. It was right in the process when the exca- vator was checking the extent of the sinkhole into the roadbed that the sinkhole further collapsed and thats what actually caused the breoptic line to sever. It wasnt a piece of equipment it was the sinkhole that opened up he said. Northwestel crews were subsequently called in from Yellowknife and Hay River to repair the fibre which was done through- out the night. DOT crews and the excavator remained on standby to provide traffic control for Northwestel. Parks Canada did not respond to requests for comment as of publication time. Whitlock said DOT takes addressing sinkholes seriously due to a history of the geological formations destroying en- tire sections of the highway especially in the park. Over the years some have opened up on the side of the highway and gone right into the road bed so I guess whenever a sinkhole does open up along that highway the department and Wood Buffalo need to take a very diligent and proactive ap- proach to getting out there and address- ing it he said. It was right in the process when the excavator was checking the extent of the sinkhole into the roadbed that the sinkhole further collapsed and thats what actually caused the bre- optic line to sever. Greg Whitlock NWT Transportation INFRASTRUCTURE TELECOMMUNICATIONS Premier Town of Fort Smith discuss funding issues By MEAGAN WOHLBERG NWT Premier Bob McLeod was handed a wish list for funding and services when he met with Fort Smiths mayor and council last week during a brief stop in the community. From longstanding jurisdictional land is- sues to recent hopes for commitments around the upcoming 2018 Arctic Winter Games Fort Smith Mayor Brad Brake said there is much the municipality hopes to see from the territorial government. Being a good landowner Brake said there are a number of issues pertaining to Commissioners land - areas outside of the municipal boundaries but still part of the community of Fort Smith - that the town wants to see the territory take action on. Basically what we want to see is the GNWT being a good landowner he said. So for ex- ample we have bylaws with regards to un- sightly premises and there are issues with re abatement on Commissioners land trail safety garbage showing up on the land par- ticularly the landslide area where slides are happening along the river on Commission- ers land. According to McLeod grants in-kind are giventomunicipalgovernmentstotakecareof Commissioners lands so he said the GNWT needs more information before it can go over and above in addressing the concerns. I said Im only sure of two things that the town has a responsibility to its residents to make sure theyre safe and healthy and sec- ondly that they have the authority to control lands within municipal boundaries through bylaws and their authority to enforce their bylaws said McLeod who suggested the town begin a discussion with the depart- ment of Lands. New funding model With the GNWT changing its community government funding system from a popula- tion-based model to a needs-based funding model Brake said Fort Smith is hoping for greater access to infrastructure funding for municipalities. The GNWT recently announced it would be changing the way municipalities are funded in order to close the existing 40-million infrastructure shortfall and ensure commu- nities are getting what they need. The Town of Fort Smith is very inter- ested in seeing the new funding model rolled out Brake said. We would also like to see the government look into some other larger lump-sum investments in large-scale infra- structure projects. Such funding could have come in handy for the towns ongoing arena renovation and would be even more useful in attacking the communitys aging underground water and sewer infrastructure. The replacement of the 70-year-old pipes - along with repaving the roads above them - is estimated to cost over 50 million. We have a lot of old infrastructure in- ground that were working steadily to repair and get through but we have to budget it an- nually and work through the system Brake said. If we had access to larger project funds then we could do a much larger scale project. Ground ambulance OverthelastthreeyearsBrakehasraisedthe issue of funding for ambulance services in the community which the town thinks should be theresponsibilityofHealthandSocialServices ratherthanavolunteerservicerunbythetown. What were nding is its becoming un- sustainable for our community to eld volun- teershesaid.We get volunteers but thelevel of response required of them is such that with people who have a life other than the ambu- lance department they burn out and its very hard for us to eld volunteers and keep volun- teers engaged. McLeod said the issue of ground ambu- lance services is longstanding and coming to a head in communities across the NWT not just Fort Smith and said it will likely be addressed in the 18th Assembly. We have to decide whether or not its an essential service or not McLeod said. The town has been struggling to provide the ser- vice and we have issues in some of the other communities in the Northwest Territories. Weve been doing some studies in that area so were going to be looking in more detail after our election. Arctic Winter Games The Town of Fort Smith is also looking for more support during the upcoming 2018 Arc- tic Winter Games to be shared between Hay River and Fort Smith in order to support the communities and droves of volunteers that will be required to make the event a success. The GNWT has already committed 3.5 million for the games but McLeod said the GNWT has offered to help with planning and in-kind services. The economy has changed since they sub- mittedtheirbidsotheressome concernabout their ability to raise some of the revenues that they had expected. Other than that it looks like planning is well underway for the Arc- tic Winter Games and theyre pleased with the support theyre getting from the govern- menthesaid.Soweoutlinedtheareaswhere were contributing were rm with our com- mitment and prepared to look at other areas where weve provided services and assistance in previous Arctic Winter Games venues.

EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Accountability a promise not kept Editor Prime Minister Stephen Harper states that his government only failed to deliver on one promisefromthe2011campaign.Thathemet ninety and nine promises made that year will never be known with certainty as true or false. What can be veried is that Mr. Harpers 2006 promise of a new era of accountabil- ity has not been delivered. Laws were passed tis true. Not by words however but by actions we shall be known the parable tells us by their fruits ye shall know them. House of Commons committee meetings in-camera omnibus budget bills containing scores of fundamental changes to the laws of Canada yet subject to closure without de- bate the Trans-Pacic Partnership trade treaty negotiated in secret or known only to corporate executive advisors. These are but three examples of action taken against the promise of accountability. Ninety-and-nine and more promises from 2011 we are asked to believe were safely delivered. One promise the rst made in 2006 that of a new era of accountability is still out on the hills away. Joe Hueglin Niagara Falls ON Do you have the right stuff to be an MLA If you are thinking seriously about run- ning for MLA in the upcoming NWT elec- tion and need help in making up your mind check out the NWT Status of Women Coun- cils Election Resource to guide and assist you in making the right decisions. No matter what gender you are the re- source material available there is excellent in helping to decide if you do indeed want to throw your hat in the ring. Obviously such a decision is not to be taken lightly. The Councils election guide wisely asks that you consider your personal situation rst. Are you committed to other things such as your family job or demands in your personal life that would be impeded by you becoming an MLA How would serving in that role affect your own mental well being It makes good points on what is needed to run a campaign money a campaign manager a team and a sense that you have community support are all part of an intuitive checklist. If you are female the website is particularly compelling.Itpointsoutthatalthoughwomen make up almost half of the territorys popula- tion only 10 per cent of the 19 MLAs were fe- male in this last assembly. That is the pattern acrossthelandatalllevelsofgovernmentand thewebsitespeakstowhatitsauthorsthinkare thecausesWomenaresocializedtounderes- timatetheirabilitiesandstrengthsandcondi- tioned to defer to the traditional male role of political activity it says and a whole lot more. Wendy Bisaro of Yellowknife one of two lonely female MLAs in the current legislature has indicated she will not run again. Bisaro made an excellent contribution and will leave big shoes to be lled. Jane Groenewegen the other non-male in the territorial legislature has yet to make her decision public but if she decides to run and the people of Hay River decide they want her back representing them it will be her sixth term in ofce an astound- ing 18 years in public service. The vast majority of the current sitting male MLAs have indicated they will run again. Their experience and dedication is greatly ap- preciated. MLAs have to work hard and those who live outside Yellowknife have to spend a great deal of time away from their families. In addition to those sacrices politicians are in the public eye constantly scrutinized and rarelyapplauded.Ittakesaspecialkindofper- son to do it well. If you are that kind of person no matter who you are and what your goals and aspirations are please look seriously at stepping up. There is much that needs doing. First Nations governments are supposed to be partners with the GNWT but they are not really. On the other hand many First Nations are struggling. Is there a way for- ward for the evolution and strengthening of Aboriginal languages and culture Are you a person who can help facilitate that and maybe nd a better way forward TheNWTisrapidlyevolvingandmanyforces pull it in different directions. It has tradition- ally followed the ways of Alberta in economy educationhealthandinparticulareconomic development. Over the last 40 years the Con- servative government has worked closely with industry in the North and often the inconve- niencesofenvironmentalprotectionhavebeen set aside. Constituents demand jobs and the abilitytocreatewealthandenhancetheirstan- dardoflivingsoNWTpoliticiansarepressured to act similarly. Now there is a new sheriff in Alberta and likely new approaches and differ- ent ways of thinking will quickly emerge. Will the NWT government follow suit It might be an exciting time for change. How much development should take place and what restrictions monitoring and ac- countability will be involved If offering bet- ter protections for the environment is your particular concern note that Bob Bromley of Yellowknife has indicated he will not run again. An environmentalist he has champi- onedmanycausesandhasoftenbeentheNWT governments harshest critic. Perhaps you are inspired to take up where Bromley leaves off. If you are a woman take a look through the Status of Women website. Why do commu- nities need to have shelters for women and children who sometimes fear for their lives from their partners Why do communities need to have Take Back the Night marches that campaign for the safety and security of female residents Why is there no proper day- care with well-paid and trained staff so that women with children can be freed to re-enter the workforce There are too many things that need xing in the lives of women. New blood is needed in the legislature to inject energy and ideas and in some cases inspire a better way of doing things. If you are someone who can make that happen who wants to make a difference we encourage you to run for MLA. The Status of Women Council website can be found at www.statusofwomen.nt.ca.

By MEAGAN WOHLBERG This is my last issue as edi- tor of the Northern Journal. The word last feels a bit strange today even in thought like it was mean- ingless until this moment but now is so signicant. I am moving on. I arrived in Fort Smith four years ago to be a news reporter at the Slave River Journal. Thanks to the leg- endary turnover of the north- ern media world within a few months I was the sole employee. Needless to say I was a shoo-in to become the youngest editor in the papers history In late 2011 our publisher Don Jaque came forward to me with a crazy idea what if we expanded the paper to be another voice for the people of the North In a world where newspa- pers are said to be the ghost of an already dead medium it was a tremendous risk. To write investigative in-depth print articles when the world was turning away from the Goodbye and thanks with all my heart page Would anyone read it But then as now I believed. Ibelieveinthispublication in one of the last bastions of trulyindependentprintmedia left in Canada. I believe in telling full stories of telling hard stories and of spending time with the written word. I believe in the people this paper represents the voices that ll the pages every week. For as many awards as weve received and praises sung this paper could not exist without the trust of the people of the North. Thank you for trusting in me in my efforts to create something new through my struggles to nd space for your impor- tant words and for caring so deeplyabouttheworldwelive in. Without your concern without your commitment there would be no story. And without stories we could never learn and grow. I have written close to 2000 articles for this paper. It has become a brief record not only of our communities but of my life in the North where I have made my home. Thank you to the strong proud and welcoming people of the North for allowing me to make a career and a home here where I plan to stay. I look forward to continu- ing to tell your stories as a freelance writer based in Fort Smith.

A recent study by the Alberta Geological Survey AGS which looked into the geology and chemistry of the petroleum at four spe- cic sites in the Peace River region found no evidence that location has anything to do with the odours complained about by residents. No trend is observed to indicate that oils from the Peace River Oilsands area emit greater reduced sulphur compounds RSCs or volatile organic compounds VOCs than thoseinotheroilsandsareasthereportstates. The investigation was launched in response to recommendations made last year during a public review into complaints around emis- sions and odours in the Peace River region. Landowners near oilsands facilities which are scattered throughout the region have complained for years of headaches nausea nosebleeds respiratory problems and other health impacts that they attribute to emis- sions from nearby oil tanks. Several house- holds have since relocated abandoning their farmland due to health concerns related to possible emissions. The Peace River oilsands area differs from the Athabasca region in that the bitumen de- posits are unable to be mined through con- ventional processes. Instead much of the Peace River oil is extracted through Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand CHOPS a process that pumps thick bitumen out of the ground similar to how a grain elevator uses an auger. Once at the surface the oil must be heated to 70-80 degrees in 1000-barrel capacity tanks to allow the sand to sink down. The bitumen is then transferred by truck to the main plant for further renement. While there is nothing in terms of geology or chemistry that points to the four Peace River oilsands sites as being more odorous than other areas geologists say the heating process could be a factor in the strong odours surroundingresidentssaytheyveexperienced. The conclusion was that the increased odours and emissions from these compounds is more related to the depth and type of oil and the heating of the oil as opposed to any of those specic locations said Shar Anderson a geologist with AGS and one of the authors of the study. Anderson said bitumen is heavier than oil located deep underground and has been exposed to environmental factors that are causing it to biodegrade. While a small amount of bitumen was taken from the Athabasca and Cold Lake oilsands areas Anderson said the sample set wasnt large enough to make any comparisons be- tween oil in the Peace River area as a whole to deposits elsewhere in the province. But with this new data available to the public she said other researchers can con- tinue on with the work to assess variations in odour and emissions across the province. This study is one piece of the puzzle she said. There really wasnt any geochemi- cal data with respect to RCSs and VOCs so weve added that data and made it public... Its a stepping stone. New regulations around gas emissions The Alberta Energy Regulator AER es- tablished new regulations around gas vent- ing from the oil tanks as a result of last years investigation into odours and emissions in the Peace River area. As of August 2014 a key new directive requires all Peace River heavy oil and bitu- men operators to capture and either flare incinerate or conserve all solution gas from their tanks. Since these changes came into effect monitoring stations...have shown that total concentrations of hydrocarbons in the air have decreased and routine venting of so- lution gas...has been virtually eliminated according to an update from AER in July. That said an unannounced inspection sweep in June found 16 sites were in non- compliance with the directive. Those sites were operations approved prior to May 2014 when a requirement was made that all new tanks had to be shut in and all gases cap- tured. An investigation is now underway into the noncompliance. The AER has also developed draft require- ments for fugitive emissions inspections leak repairs and reporting that are expected to be released this fall along with a report on new technology that can reduce odours and emissions during the trucking and un- loading process. The regulator estimates that 95 per cent of gases will be conserved by Sep- tember 2018.

EnvironmentandNaturalResourcesMinis- ter Michael Miltenberger said Friday Aug. 28 that this season kept alive by about 44 res still burning across the Northwest Territo- ries feels like a sigh of relief after last years record-setting monster season. This year we were able to not only take care of our business but help out other juris- dictions as they helped us last year when our backs were against the wall he said. Last year we were stretched to the limit. We had help from every other jurisdiction in Canada and some states. This year our re season has been modest enough that weve been able to send some of our highly skilled folks down to the northern States where there are res threatening close to the border. The big news of course is no news no major loss of property and no casualties. There was one close call in Hay River where a few resi- dents faced a re at the doorstep and were evacuated briey from their homes.

The fire season has cost 33 million and destroyed 662000 hectares of forest so far a far cry from the 3.4 million hectares lost and 60 million spent in 2014 but still the second-largest season on record. Whats worse anything saved so to speak this fire season will be more than swal- lowed up by the 28 million-and-counting hydro shortfall mounting as the Territo- ries parched rivers are too low to turn the turbines. So we have all these extra diesel costs and the broader issue of course is climate change he said. In normal circumstances precipitation falls in patterns you can count on and theres a certain range where the climate responds. That for the most part no longer exists so you never know what to ex- pect and were all paying a big price. Fires start earlier they burn hotter they last lon- ger and they move faster.

Tuesday September 1 2015 7 INDUSTRY OIL GAS By MEAGAN WOHLBERG If an oil discovery is declared in the Canol play does it make a sound The NWT oil and gas regulator OROGO issued a Significant Discovery Declaration in June - the first to be made post-devolu- tion - in relation to an exploratory well near Tulita on the East Mackay lease held by the now non-existent MGM Energy in partner- ship with Shell. Theapplicationforthedeclarationwasmade in December 2013 roughly five months before MGM a struggling junior with properties in the Beaufort and Sahtu regions of the NWT announced it would be folding and absorbed back into its original parent company Para- mount Resources Ltd. Over two years later OROGO says the com- panys well test results suggest the existence of an accumulation of hydrocarbons with the potential for sustained production. The dis- covery area goes beyond the MGM-Shell I-78 well to encompass additional lease areas held by MGM Shell and Husky Energy. OROGO executive director Jamie Fulford said any or all of the companies whose leases overlap with the discovery area can apply for a Significant Discovery Licence SDL grant- ing them exclusive rights to exploration drill- ing and production on the portion they hold rights over. Butwhenitcomestopursuingfurtherexplo- ration in the Canol play not a single company seems to be swayed by the recent declaration. As weve said before Slater River remains partofourlong-termgrowthportfolioHusky spokesperson Kim Guttormson replied in a curt email to the Journals queries on the discovery. Shell while pleased with the discovery said it has also secured the area as merely a long-term opportunity. It is not a current priority for Shell a spokesperson told the Journal. Paramount - the other de facto owner of the test well - didnt respond to questions about the panels announcement. Stranded resources are of no value to any- body former MGM president Henry Sykes told the Journal back in 2014 on the eve of the companys shutdown. The company had complained regularly about the costs of doing business in the ter- ritory from the lack of infrastructure to the regulatory system. Shell ditched MGM in late 2012 after an application to do exploratory horizontal fracturing or fracking was sent to environmental assessment. Both com- panies said it was too early to finance a full public review. MGM left its six leases in the Sahtu to- talling approximately 318000 hectares to Paramount along with a string of leases in the Beaufort Delta. Two of the leases lo- cated near Tulita are owned in partner- ship with Shell. Sustained production would require fracking panel Vertical well I-78 was drilled and hydrau- lically fractured - vertically - over the win- ter of 2012-13. While the review panel found the results showed enough evidence to sup- port the potential for sustained production it noted that horizontal fracturing would be required to realize that full potential. If frack- ing is somehow prevented the panel said the declaration could be withdrawn. The panel understands that very tight formations such as the Canol Formation are typically developed by drilling horizontal wells which are then stimulated by extensive hydraulic fracturing to achieve hydrocarbon flow from the formation into the wellbore at desired rates. It is not surprising that the I-78 well drilled as a vertical well and with a limited hydraulic fracturing stimulation demonstrated limited inflow of hydrocar- bons the report reads. In the absence of a more substantial hy- draulicfracturingstimulationofthisgeological feature and flowing back to a more complete recovery of hydraulic fracturing fluid there remains some uncertainty as to the signifi- cance of the hydrocarbon accumulation indi- cated by the I-78 well the panel continued. Being able to achieve effective fracturing of the formation will be critical to recovering hydrocarbons from the Canol Formation. If technical or other reasons limit the ability to effectively fracture it the panel notes that this declaration could be revoked or that the sig- nificant discovery area could be decreased. Land Corp. worried about slowdown During the hearing process the review panel heard concerns from the Tulita Dis- trict Land Corp. TDLC that a declaration could give companies - if issued the subse- quent licences - indefinite tenure over Sahtu land without requiring work commitments - or access and benefit agreements - which they said could further stagnate oil and gas development in the region. The terms under which a significant dis- covery licence are granted may put the TDLC at a competitive disadvantage in attracting industry interest to develop TDLCs oil and gas resources the panels report notes. The panel wrote that it sympathized with thelandcorporationsconcernsaroundaslow- down in economic activity but said oil and gas legislation in the NWT gives the regula- tor no discretion to consider such issues when issuing a significant discovery declaration. Such considerations are undoubtedly of economic importance to the TDLC but are not matters which the panel may take into consideration when making its decision the panel wrote in its report.

THANK YOU ALL OPERATION NANOOK WAS A GREAT SUCCESS THE TOWN OF FORT SMITH WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE GROUPS WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THIS SUCCESSFUL EXERCISE WHATS NEW IN FORT SMITH By DALI CARMICHAEL KeepersoftheWaterstartedoffitsninthan- nual gathering with some disappointing news. On its second day the morning of Aug. 28 the Supreme Court of British Columbia dismissed an application for an injunction submitted by the West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations which would have halted construction work on the 8-billion Site C dam project set for the Peace Valley. At the same time the Federal Court dis- missed a request for a judicial review by the Peace Valley Landowners Association to quash the projects provincial environmen- tal certicate. Thats an issue that the Keepers will en- gage with said Caleb Behn executive direc- tor of Keepers of the Water. The intention is to not be an organization that is strictly reactive. Were a solutions-based organiza- tion and at our gatherings we have had a lot of outputs over the last decade declarations and those kinds of things. Its important to really share the positives and remind people that there are victories there is good work to be done. We assist in really building that nexus of people who care about water and the people who are doing good work and devel- oping new technology new environmental management information systems. This years gathering was held in Bushe Alta. and was hosted by Beaver First Nation andDeneThaFirstNationfromAug.27 to30. Were talking about oil spills and cleanup were talking about fracking were talk- ing about food programming and climate change and touching on renewable energy said Jesse Cardinal coordinator for Keepers of the Athabasca. Shortly before the event a Nuvista En- ergy pipeline broke on the latter hosts tra- ditional territory spilling 100 cubic metres of emulsion over a 13200 square metre area and further driving home the message of the necessity of water protection in the region. A main theme throughout the event was the decolonizing of water systems giving more power over resources to regional in- digenous groups. The Alberta Energy Regulator AER says they do one thing and the communities are saying they dont Cardinal said noting that several AER employees showed up for the event. People are recounting some rst hand experiences with AER so thats been interesting and to have them stick around that is not usual. Theyre willing to engage people but I mean weve respectfully agreed to disagree on a lot of things. Leaders from across the Western provinces and territories attended the gathering as well. I think the most important thing here was to talk about every individuals responsibil- ity Dehcho Grand Chief Herb Norwegian said. We keep talking about the oil compa- nies and the people that are out there that are polluting the waters. At the same time we have a responsibility to make sure that the political people are on track and making sure that theyre doing everything that they can to protect waters throughout the water basin and its our responsibility to make sure that when election time comes we get people in that are going to stand rm. Water is prob- ably the most sacred thing to us right now. Simultaneous and connected water protection activities This years gathering follows an experi- mental bush camp hosted by the Keepers earlier this summer which drew attention to decolonizing water governance. I hosted some of North Americas lead- ing water scientists and a bunch of values- aligned artists technicians community mem- bers up in my territory Behn said refer- ring to northern B.C. It was a pilot project in postcolonial engagement methodology essentially taking the privileged southern- ers out of their place of comfort and putting them into the North where they are reliant upon elders and community members for their safety for their food. Then we had a discourse on water protection. Healing gathering in the oilsands Additionally while the gathering was on- going in Bushe a healing gathering for the land and water was also taking place a little farther south in Gregoire Lake. Last year we had the healing walk which ended after ve years said organizer Cleo Reece a councillor with the Fort Murray 468 First Nation. We want to continue on with the aware- ness and the message so weve decided to just have another gathering. We will go out to the affected areas that people do want to know about which is the tailing pond stuff thats out there thats visible. It sends a mes- sage that we want to continue on what we started to raise awareness and let people know that we are using our land. In the past Keepers have attended the event in solidarity with those whose lives have been impacted by contaminated waters. Looking down the river Keepers of the Water ended this years gathering by hammering out a new declara- tion the details of which were unavailable before press time. However Behn noted the direction of the Keepers might just shift looking into future initiatives. It is getting really difcult for First Na- tions especially but for people who care about water issues to be satised with ex- isting regulatory processes and thats really challenging us as an organization Behn said. I think our declarations will reect some of that frustration some of that con- cern.

Tuesday September 1 2015 9 ENVIRONMENT RENEWABLE ENERGY Little Buffalo solar project powers local health centre By MEAGAN WOHLBERG MelinaLaboucan-Massimo said she isnt sure she under- stood what it meant to cry tears of joy until she saw the dazzling array of solar pan- els in her home community of Little Buffalo. When people talk about crying tears of joy I think a lot of us dont understand be- causeweknowwhatitsliketo cry tears of pain sorrow from grief but I was literally crying tears of joy I was so happy to seetheprojectgoupshesaid. A brand new 20.8 kW solar array got ofcially off the ground last week in the northern Alberta commu- nity of around 350 with 80 panels mounted on poles 15 feet in the air now powering the communitys new health and wellness centre. A climate campaigner for Greenpeace and a member of theLubiconLakeFirstNation of Little Buffalo Laboucan- Massimo has been research- ing renewable energy in First Nations communities for her masters thesis looking for solutions to fossil fuel dependency. After campaigning on re- source extraction for the last decade or so and really seeing the problems that were deal- ing with but not seeing really any tangible solutions we can implement in our communi- tiesIthoughtwhyarentwe using solar as a solution to re- source extraction and climate changebutalsoproducinglocal energy she said noting that Alberta has one of the highest solarpotentialsinthecountry. Laboucan-Massimo said it wasimportantforhertofocus on bringing solar to the com- munityconsideringitshistory dealingwiththeimpactsofoil and gas development. Little Buffalo located in the heart of the Peace River oilsands area was victim to a massive pipeline spill in the spring of 2011 when 28000 barrels of oil leaked from a rupture in Plains Midstreams Rainbow Pipeline system just 10 kilo- metres from the community. I think a lot of people talk about the solutions but im- plementation has not been something thats happening. So I just really wanted to see solar go up in the tar sands. Thesolarprojectbeganover a year ago after residents ex- pressed interest at a commu- nity meeting. After that came thefundraising.Followingsome initialseedmoneysecuredfrom BullfrogPowertheprojectre- ceived a grant through Honor the Earth and even garnered donations from actress and environmental activist Jane Fonda.

Apart from powering an important new facility in the community Laboucan-Mas- simo said the array is meant as a demonstration project to inspire residents of Little Buffalo and other northern First Nations to look further into renewables. Myauntiewhosinher70s when she came to the launch she said I never thought Id see this in Little Buffalo. Id always just seen it on TV. I think theres just this idea that this is technology thats far away from and not tan- gible in our communities she said.

The action in Sachs Harbour included about two-dozen soldiers patrolling on foot and on ATVs supply aircraft overhead and a visit from MCDV Maritime Coastal De- fence Vessel Saskatoon. A document pro- vided by the military read like an action lm members of the Arctic Response Company Group the Fleet Diving Unit four types of aircraft and elements of the Joint Task Force Support Component deployed to respond to a simulated sabotage-based scenario put in motion by NORAD warning indicators including land and marine threats to the Northern Warning System. In terms of what the 100 or so people living in Sachs Harbour saw though Wylie said the military kept mostly to themselves. Inuvik on the other hand was hopping during the off-shore oil spill simluation according to Acting Mayor Jim McDonald. The community got a lot of insight into what the military is capable of he said. Not all military activity is war-based they do a lot of civic work too. The community day in the town of about 3500 included y-overs by Chinook and Gry- phon helicopters and Otter aircraft. Some of the 300 Nanook personnel were still there tearing down the camp in the centre of town and the command post at the recreation centre on Monday afternoon. It all amounted to a home run for the 800 or so people involved directly or in- directly in the whole-of-government ac- tivity according to a source in the mili- tary who described their interactions with local participants such as town ofcials as outstanding. Thegoalwashavingpeopleworktogether the source said. We do a lot of activity in the North in the winter not as much on land in the summer when its more of a mari- time focus so it was an interesting exercise.

The most glaring issue was a lack of com- munication between the town and local busi- nesses Brake noted. At a meeting towards the end of the exercise some owners came forward saying they were unsure of their role should an emergency arise. What would hotels do with their guests How could the grocery stores best serve their patrons The municipality is also considering how to bestsupportthosewhostaytoprotectthetown like RCMP ofcers and volunteer reghters. One of the things that they looked at was shelter in-place Brake said. If people dont want to go people want to stay here to try and save the town we have to set something up. People cant stay in their own houses if there is a forest re because of the type of materials houses are made of. We need to look at buildings that have non-ammable siding roong - a whole gamut of things. Another priority will be guring out a safe way of returning citizens to the community following an evacuation an element not in- cluded in the current plan. Astickingpointformanycitizensthrough- out the exercise was the treatment of animals during an emergency.

The advent of fibre optic cables serving communities has enhanced communication speeds and volumes but it has also created a vulnerability. If the cable is severed all communications are cut off - telephone cellular service and Internet. We are all so dependent on those connections to the outside world their loss means digitalized debit and credit till transactions in stores wont function. Productivity is lost in most offices agencies and gov- ernment departments. Everyone needs Internet to carry out their daily duties. Without it everything we do grinds to a halt. We can put some functions on hold for a day or two but others like medical services or emergency transportation can be mission critical and banking and food supplies cannot be withheld for long. The severed line in Fort Smith was caused by a sinkhole which tore apart the cable. It was repaired quickly so that the community was only without communications and access to data for one working day. Consider if it had been a raging wildfire that had burned through the cable and repair crews could not get near enough to repair the break or some other natural phenomenon like a flood or lightning strike.

The group of students hungry for infor- mation were feeding their curiosity as they learned about the medicinal properties of the plants and their traditional names dur- ing a culture camp hosted by the NWT Cree Language Program Uncle Gabes Friendship Centre and the Chipewyan Language Pro- gram on Aug. 29 and 30.

A new report released by the animal-rights organization ranked the NWT in 11th place in the country just above Quebec and Nunavut. Im not surprised but of course its disap- pointing said Nicole Spencer president of the NWT Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to AnimalsSPCA.Ourrankingwontchangeun- lessimprovementsaremadeandnosignicant improvements have been made so were going to be stuck in the third tier until that changes. TheALDFanAmericanorganizationbases its rankings on a 60-point list of legal protec- tions for animals. The report takes into con- sideration substantive protection laws which species are covered by those laws any exemp- tions breed-specic legislation animal abuse penaltiesmentalhealthevaluationsandcoun- sellingcost-mitigationandrecoveryentrysei- zure and inspection laws forfeiture and post- conviction possession rules reporting of sus- pected animal cruelty and immunity and law enforcement politics. Manitobaisnumberoneandwehavesimilar issueswithclimateandweatherandsmallcom- munitiesandthingslikethatSpencersaid.Why not follow what Manitoba is doing when were very similar Theres no reason that we cant. The biggest problems facing the NWT in re- gards to animal care come from a lack of legis- lation allowing ofcers to act on situations of neglect abuse or mistreatment according to both the report and Spencer. The ability for ofcers to enforce the law needs to improve Spencer said. The right to seize an animal on the spot they cant do that. I did not realize this but in other provinces and territories vets are required to report any sus- pected animal abuse and up here thats not a requirement. As well principal protection laws only exist to protect dogs no other species are covered by the NWT. Ithinkthebasicstandardofcareneedstobe improvedorchangedSpencersaid.Rightnow peoplethinkitsadequateenoughtohaveadog withahouseandabitoffood.Itsnotenoughit gets down to -50C in some places and dogs are outside and they dont have an insulated dog house they dont have straw they dont have enough food. Every year people nd dogs fro- zen to death either in their houses or outside their houses stuck to the ground and theyre so skinny.Ifdogsarentfedenoughtheycantpro- duce fat to keep warm so a skinny dog in -40C is going to freeze to death. The NWTs animal protection laws do cover some basic rights. Penalties for mistreated an- imals can lead to nes and incarceration and the penalties become more harsh with each of- fence. There are some actions that ofcials can take to protect mistreated animals including inspecting cases of alleged abuse with reason- able grounds. ButSpencersaidthereismuchtheNWTcan do to improve its animal care rating. For starters I think we need larger manda- tory nes and possible imprisonment for any kind of animal abuse Spencer said. If people know that theyre going to get ned 10000 or 50000 for animal abuse that might deter people...We also need to give ofcers the abil- ity to enforce the laws that we do have. Right now it seems like their hands are tied in many instances. Some like Hay River resident Bonnie Daw- sonhavefoughttochangetheselawsinthepast. Thanks to Dawsons efforts in a three-year bat- tle with the GNWT the NWT Dog Act became lawin2011thoughnotmuchhaschangedsince that time she said.

Thebiggestwaythingswillchangeisthrough education and unfortunately because were limited in resources our education program is kind of on hold Spencer said.

Yay A happy ending Youth lm workshops foster creativity through new media By DALI CARMICHAEL From slasher lms to maa movies to music videos the youth of Fort Smith have been busy translating stories from their imagina- tion into content for the silver screen. For the last month the small group has been busy taking part in a series of Youth- Rise workshops a program that teaches kids to explore their creativity through lm and for the rst time this year music. YouthRise was started by local lmmaker Carla Ulrich last summer. After a success- ful rst round she was delighted to see her students double in number this year. With a bigger class to work with Ulrich decided to take her lessons to the next level. This year is about writing directing pro- ducing and editing whereas last year it was just lming Ulrich said. To ensure the kids got the best education Ulrich enlisted fellow lmmakers Jay Cardi- nal Villeneuve - who helped with last years workshops - and Damien Eagle Bear a new- comer to the North this summer. Its been great Eagle Bear said. I love teaching lmmaking to the youth its got its own challenges and it also reinforces and re- minds me of what Ive learned just through lmmaking. We all have these big crazy ideas and the kids are just full of them. When we were writing down the stories and pitching them all one idea sparks another sparks an- other and then it just gets so big and hilarious and funny and it inspired me creatively too. Together the squad worked on a handful of lms including the short Hickey Gone Wrong based on local author Richard Van Camps graphic novel of the same name. The group also came up with their own creative works ranging from lm trailers to public service announcements to short lms. In addition to the extras on their film crews Ulrich harnessed the power of Fort Smiths rock duo Veronica and Dave Johnny to run simultaneous songwriting workshops. While they werent working on their lms the youth sat in on sessions with The Johnnys to collaborate on the soundtrack for Hickey Gone Wrong. Its been great The Johnnys really know the people in the community Ulrich said. Theyre also very successful in their realm because theyre full-time musicians. Having that experience mixed in with what were try- ing to do has been so great. Were relatively new and the biggest challenge for us has been trying to gure out how to deliver the best program how to get the kids involved how to nd more money how to work everything how to schedule everything. A vision for the future As the popularity of YouthRise expands Ulrich hopes to eventually offer a wider va- riety of programming to the community. We want to try and do animation and eventually game design she said. Shed also like to bring dance classes especially bal- let back to Fort Smith as an activity for kids throughout the year. Until Ulrichs goal comes to fruition the kids have said theyre ready to use what theyve learned to develop projects on their own time. This year its been a bit more work said Kole Laviolette 11 a dedicated film student who participated in both sum- mer sessions. Last year after I did the workshops I tried making films at home a couple of times but we werent really doing the entire thing last year. This year were actually making a movie from start to finish doing scriptwriting and filming and everything. Its been a blast working with them. Others have approached Ulrich and her team about bringing YouthRise workshops to other communities around the North an exciting prospect for the young lmmaker. While attered by the opportunity Ulrich said her ultimate goal is to foster community through workshops getting regions to access their own existing talent to bring exciting op- portunities to local children. Theres people who are interested and to me its a no-brainer she said.

It was a good deal for the Northwest Terri- tories too as Takasaka spent the early part of his career playing architect to the indus- try that opened up Aurora Borealis tourism to Japanese tourists helping to attract tens of thousands of them in less than a decade. The in-demand astral photographer was in Fort Smith last weekend presenting and shooting at the seventh annual Dark Sky Fes- tival. Since he was there already NWT Tour- ism contracted him as a translator and guide for a Japanese television crew Thursday and to shoot some promotional photos during the rest of the week. TheJournalcaughtupwithhimatthePelican Rapids Inn where hes been tweeting pictures of giant steaks from the kitchen on equal bill- ing with his pictures of the Northern Lights. He wasnt taking photos of the sky or in- structing stargazers on how to take their own back when he married a Canadian girl - far from it - but it didnt take him long to go North. He was working in tourism in Vancou- ver in 1992 when he moved up to Yellowknife. He was hired by a mom-and-pop outtting operation to give tours to Japanese visitors who had own 7283 km to see the Northern Lights. He also did all the marketing and sales in Japan and across Canada. Thats a lot of kilometres but there were a lot of people hungry for a rsthand look at the overhead exhibition. It was the rst aurora tours in Canada and it grew like crazy fast he said. By the time I left the company and went freelance in 1999 we had over 10000 guests a year from Japan from zero or a few hundred. Now hes sought after shooting in Nordic countries Iceland Scotland and even Tas- mania for some frames of the Aurora Aus- tralis. Hes travelled to Alaska and lived in Whitehorse for a while too all in pursuit of the aurora. He provides NASAs picture of the week on a fairly regular basis which is no wonder according to a NWT Tour- ism official who speaking on condition of anonymity said they contract Takasaka all the time. Hes such an acionado with the aurora photography that it gives us a marketing reach thats way beyond what we would be able to with a limited budget the ofcial said. He has an amazing reputation and the way things happened with him already in Fort Smith it really worked out. The photography that takes up so much of his time today check out blue-moon.ca came about like any invention it was borne of necessity by the tourism business. To see the product you need photos for the brochures but nobody was selling Northern LightsphotossoIhadtotakethemmyselfandI justbecameanexpert.Everybodyusedthemall over the world so Im sort of the Aurora Guy. He does dark sky photography all over Canada and the world including Ontario and Jasper National Park which became the worlds largest accessible dark sky preserve five years ago. He shot the of- ficial photos. At the end of September hes going to La Palma Spain to talk about dark skies and show off photos. He said there isnt really a best place to view the Northern Lights noting if youre below the oval it all pretty much looks the same. All things equal how- ever he did let slip that last Saturdays show at the festival in Wood Buffalo National Park was something special. I like the foreground too the night-scape I like something interesting to be in the fore- ground he said. Being a former Yellowknife resident visit- ing Fort Smith is like coming home. The people here are easygoing taking pictures is so easy he said smiling. Im very relaxed. Though hes based in a small village 25 km outside of Vernon B.C. he spends several weeks in the area every year. The rst time I saw Northern Lights was in Jasper when I was still guiding and I was like wow but there really its just a little green thing he said. When we moved to Yellowknife I didnt even know it was an au- rora hotspot because nobody knew about it back then. I thought Oh my God this is great. Then I started helping the business grow and it just became a part of me. I want to see them from all over the world so Im slowly going all over the place.
