V IS IT W W W .N O R J.C A A national award winning independent newspaper serving northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories since 1977 1.00 September 15 2015 Vol. 39 No. 20 By DALI CARMICHAEL FromInuviktotheLegislativeAs- sembly Northerners are responding to the Syrian refugee crisis after the issue exploded in Western media last week. As photos of three year-old Syr- ian boy Alayn Kurdis deceased body spread over newspaper front pages and social media so too did an outpouring of grief from the in- ternational community. The young boy his brother and mother were among an estimated 14 who died after their boat capsized while ee- ing civil war. They were trying to reach the Greek island of Kos. On Sept. 6 about 30 demonstra- tors gathered in Inuvik to draw at- tention to the crisis taking part in a nation-wide series of rallies planned by the activist group No One Is Illegal. Ive been at work and a lot of the patients and nursing staff have all been talking about whats been going on and saying they wanted to do something but they werent sure what said organizer Sarah NWT responds to Syrian refugee crisis Reaburn. I saw there were na- tional days of action happening across Canada and people wanted to participate so we came up with a quick action. Only a few days later on Sept. 10 more than 70 people came together people can make donations if they want to support the issue. Of course theres also the idea of sponsoring refugees and their families. We were very fortunate to have sev- eral people in the room who either had experience with sponsoring The church is working to bring over an individual from Somalia. Its been a long process for us. Theres a lot of paperwork Trotter said. Weve been very lucky to have a staff person through the United Church of Canada who has been a huge help to us because she deals with this all the time. Even with the extra tools the in- dividual has not reached Canada after two years in the system. Calling on the GNWT At the Yellowknife meeting con- cerned citizens asserted the need for the territorial government to assist with any major attempts to aid with the crisis. The following morning initial plans to send monetary aid were announced. The Government of the North- westTerritoriesisdonating25000 totheUnitedNationsHighCommis- sioner for Refugees as an immediate response to the crisis Premier Bob McLeod said in a written statement. See Yellowknife on page 6. in Yellowknife to discuss the situa- tion and how the capitals residents could do their part. We talked a little bit about all of the organizations that are actu- ally on the ground that are strug- gling for resources said Yellow- knife Mayor Mark Heyck. There was some discussion about where refugees or from places they had lived previously in Canada as well as a couple of individuals who were quite well-versed in the immigra- tion system itself. One of those folks was Nancy Trotter a member of the Yellow- knife United Church which holds a refugee sponsorship agreement. The Government of the Northwest Territories is donating 25000 to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as an immediate response to the crisis.

The federal government re- moved it with the passage of this legislation. Okimaw Wallace Fox was referring to the First Na- tions Financial Transpar- ency Act in his letter dated Aug. 25 six days before the Sept. 1 deadline the depart- ment of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development set for bands to publish their nancials online. Minister Bernard Valcourt vowed to take action against noncompliant First Nations in a written statement last week. The legislation allows him to withhold funding as a penalty which according to the ministry includes fund- ing moneys payable as a grant or contribution such as the approach being taken by the state against Indigenous Peoples. On Sept. 14 there were 148 First Nations across Canada that hadnt filed their au- dited nancials online as the FNFTA requires 12 in the Northwest Territories. Onion Lake Cree Nation has more than 5500 mem- bers and includes territory in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Dene National Chief Bill Erasmus said on Sept. 10 the federal government has no right to force First Nations to open their books to the world. A day after speaking to the Journal the Dene Na- tion announced it supports Onion Lake in its appeal to the United Nations. Whats more Erasmus said requiring First Nations corporations including joint ventures to publish their - nancials puts them at a com- petitive disadvantage. Theactcameintoeffectlast year and 98 per cent of First Nations in Canada complied. It circumvents the precedent- setting Montana 1988 deci- sion in which the judge ruled thatpaymentstoFirstNations are not to be considered tax- payer dollars. Erasmus said hes con- cerned about the term non- essential services or fund- ing which the government is using to describe the cash being withheld from non- compliant First Nations. This is the rst time weve heard that language I dont knowwhatthatmeansEras- mus said. Theyve arbitrarily decided what is essential and what is not. He said constitutionally speaking the treaty relation- ship between First Nations andthecrownisgovernment- to-governmentequatingFirst Nations funding to provincial transfer payments. We need the Auditor Gen- eral to look at the whole re- lationship and give advice on how to go about this and we need international monitoring so Canada is held accountable. A judge is expected to rule on a legal challenge to the FNFTA by the end of the month. The challenge asks for a ruling on whether the legislation is even legiti- mate in the context of the Montana decision and for an injunction to keep the non-essential funding esti- mated by Fox to be as much as 2 billion owing in the meantime.

They have no jurisdiction to develop legislation in regard to Indian moneys. If they did they have to do it in conjunc- tion with First Nations and they didnt. Thats why peo- ple are saying this legislation really is illegal. PhotoJoshLong Dene National Chief Bill Erasmus speaks at a Keystone pipeline protest in 2011.

Sell your handmade art in our store on commission. The Pelican Rapids Inn is a full-service centrally located facility with restaurant gift shop lounge and nightclub. www.pelicanrapidsinn.com By DALI CARMICHAEL Social justice coalition Alternatives North has launched a new campaign to alleviate nancial pressures on the working poor in Yellowknife. The Yellowknife Living Wage campaign kicked off at the Baker Centre last Wednes- day where the group revealed the citys ideal living wage to be 20.68 an hour for each parent in a family of four. That number was determined by Alberta- based economist Michel Haener who put to- gether a report on the living wage. Haener has also calculated wages for communities in her home province including Canmore Red Deer and Grande Prairie. She noted that Yel- lowknife was the second-most expensive of the regions she has calculated. Those of us who live here know that this is an expensive place to live said Julie Green who headed up the initiative. The cost of housing is very high the cost of childcare is very expensive as well so I wasnt too sur- prised that it came in at that big rate. The living wage is dened as the hourly amount of earning a family needs to cover basic expenses and is calculated based on a national framework used across the nation for continuity. It is used to calculate the wage needed for a two-income family during a 40- hour work week. It accounts for having one child in school and another in care. It also considers other factors including basic ne- cessities food clothing shelter health care and social inclusion among others. Haeners report states that about 1700 peo- ple living in the city or about 10 per cent of the population earn between 13 and 19.99 per hour.Amajorityofthoseearnersareemployed in the service sector and often take on second orthirdjobstokeeptheirfamiliescomfortable. The living wage for a lone parent with one child in Yellowknife is 25.81. For a single adult it is about 19.91. Currently the minimum wage in the NWT is 12.50. Benetting the working poor Now that the people of Yellowknife have access to information regarding the living wage the coalition is working to help out the citys working poor. There are sort of two next steps. One is that the coalition is in the process of growing their people who are looking at passing living wage resolutions Green said. The second thing is to start signing up employers as liv- ing wage employers. The idea is to implement the action quickly and avoid the bogged-down nature of bureau- cratic processes. The Living Wage campaign really has the community taking responsibility for poverty instead of putting it all onto the government Green said. Youre asking employers to pay the living wage and youre asking consum- ers to shop at those places where the living wage is paid. The campaign while new to Canada has been used internationally for some time. LivingWagealthoughitssortofanewterm inCanadaanditsgainedmomentumfairlyre- centlyhasbeenaroundforawhileHaenersaid. Its actually been around since the 1990s in the United States and the United Kingdom. Green who is running for MLA in Yel- lowknife Centre against incumbent Robert Hawkins said the timing of the launch was strategic. We wanted to coincide with the municipal electionbecauseitisacityissueitsacommunity issue she said. People are going to be talking about community issues over the next four or ve weeks and we wanted to make sure that they were talking about this issue too.

EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Editors note This letter was addressed to Northern Journal publisher Don Jaque but highlights the remarkable community effort that drove another goal-smashing Relay for Life in Fort Smith last July. My name is Shari Olsen and on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society I would like to thank you and the Hay River Lions Club for your support and commitment towards this years Relay for Life in Fort Smith. A total of 110 volunteers 125 participants and 15 teams contributed their time and hearts to this years event allowing us to raise more than 155811 in Fort Smith. This success could not have been realized without our sponsors and the community effort of all of our supporters in Fort Smith. Money raised through Relay for Life allows us to continue to ght cancer by funding the most promising cancer research support programs and services for people living with the disease comprehensive cancer informa- tion prevention initiatives and advocacy for public health policy. Thanks to sponsorships such as yours we are able to put more fundraising dollars to- wards our mission and keep administrative costs low. Society supporters like you have the most impact against the most cancers. With your help we will reach the day when no Canadian has to fear cancer.

Shari Olsen Fort Smith Relay for Life event chair Canadian Cancer Society AlbertaNWT Newspaper publisher thanked for supporting Relay for Life PhotoscourtesyofBarbMcArthur Medical challenges of the human mind and the xes The NWT Legislative Assemblys Stand- ing Committee on Social Programs is tour- ing communities seeking input an attempt to modernize mental health legislation in the territory but in spite of widespread de- mands for reform in how mental health is- sues are dealt with the meetings often suf- fer small turnouts. One in four people - 25 per cent of the pop- ulation - will suffer from them in their life- time yet little is known about mental health issues. Our impressions of the disease and yes it is a disease typically come from a few high prole cases involving a person who may do harm to others especially if they go off their meds. Then there is suicide which has become an epidemic in some small North- ern communities. Nunavut in particular has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Ordinary issues of mental health such as depression anxiety obsessive compulsive disorders drug addiction self-harming and personality disorders are more pervasive than we know. Treatment options include medication and psychotherapy. Often an individuals con- dition comes and goes over time. Success- ful medication regimes can take years and multiple physicians to get right. The proposed legislation spells out new powers for the government in particular enabling control over individuals who might harm others or themselves. It also goes to lengths to ensure that the rights of individu- als are protected. The legislation aspires to ll in recognized gaps in the healthcare system with measures to enhance resources and in- crease numbers of trained treatment coun- sellors. Reducing paperwork and streamlin- ing administrative systems are also planned and much-needed changes. Notably there is also a commitment to offer new community treatment options that will offer care at the local level to those with mental health issues. Our healthcare system is a bureaucracy with faults aws and foibles common to many government operations. In the health-care ap- paratus patients are plugged into a generic system that can be cumbersome and unre- sponsive even unfeeling in spite of all best efforts to tailor it otherwise. On the legisla- tive side it can sometimes take decades for old encumbering legislation to be replaced. Note that the last NWT mental health act came into effect in 1985. Circumstances and needs have changed dramatically in the en- suing decades. It appears the NWT Department of Health and Social Services has listened to public con- cerns striving to offer the best possible solu- tions in the new legislation - in a system that cares. No matter how effective the programs are however no amount of insight can offer up all the answers for a subject as mercurial as mental health. In addition mental health issues change and evolve in a rapidly advanc- ing world especially since the attributes and responses required for youth may differ from what is needed for older generations. The new legislation and the programs that will stem from it must have built-in exibility to ac- commodate those ongoing changes and new attendant needs. That exibility must be built into the legislation so that it never gets too old - a review process that facilitates even forces ongoing renement and evolution. Otherwise resistance to change can be overwhelming. Mental health issues will never be xed. In fact they need the opposite approach. Every affected persons condition is unique special and evolving. The approach in all cases has to be empathetic and discerning over time. The government the health care system the police all have jobs to do with those who struggle with mental health but they cannot do it all. Community support is needed plus we can all have a role. We must rst be aware of mental health issues for what they are so they are never ignored or stigmatized. The Mental Health Commission of Canada offers an excellent course Mental Health First Aid www.men- talhealthrstaid.ca which teaches how to recognize the symptoms of mental health issues and offers advice and instruction on how to handle and support an individual who is suffering. For example for someone who may be contemplating suicide empathy un- derstanding and support are all important until the person gets through that range of feelings. In many individuals those issues are recurring and they will have to be sup- ported anew in future. Mental health issues too often end in trag- edy. With the proper treatment available that need not happen. Get involved be a part of the solution. In the health-care apparatus patients are plugged into a generic system that can be cumbersome and un- responsive even unfeeling in spite of all best efforts to tailor it otherwise.

With just another week or two left before the nal root vegetable harvest it is a wonderful time to enjoy the fresh vegetables even more. Soon enough it will be over If you like me are fortunate to have enough garden space you may have more carrots beets and potatoes than you can keep up with. These veg- etables are great for storing and will keep right through untilnextspringifstoredcor- rectly. My grandparents had a root cellar for this purpose alone but not many people do these days. The root cel- lar provided a perfect mois- ture level and a constant cool temperature above freezing. Potatoes were stored in large wicker baskets and the car- rots in damp sand or sawdust from untreated wood only. I have lived for many years in row housing with no base- ment so though it is not an ideal way I have had an extra fridge for storing vegetables. I have only enough to last me intoearlyDecemberandwish every year that I had more. If I did no doubt I would make sure to have enough carrots beets potatoes cabbages and onions to feed me for the en- tire winter. When harvesting potatoes for storing it is best to do so onadrydaywherethefreshly harvested tubers can dry and the skin harden before put- ting them away. I simply dig them up and let them lay for a couple of hours on a sunny fall day before storing them. Using reusable black fabric shopping bags works really well for storing potatoes.

McLeod also encouraged residents to donate to international humanitarian or- ganizations supporting refugees includ- ing the United Nations High Commis- sioner for Refugees the Canadian Red Cross Lifeline Syria UNICEF and Save the Children Canada. It was good to see that statement come from the premiers ofce Heyck noted. I reached out to him to have a conversation about how we might work together. From our citys perspective Yellowknife has some advantages in this regard. Were a very multicultural city and weve seen through the decades successive waves of immigra- tion some refugees some just regular im- migrants but I think from that perspective of having so many different cultures in the community it makes us not only suitable but perhaps an ideal place to try to resettle refugee families. Aiming to do more Many provinces and communities have already announced that they will be opening their doors to additional refugees this year. Early last week the Alberta government announced it would provide 75000 in im- mediate funding in support of the Canadian Red Cross response to Europes migration and refugee crisis. The province said it would also match donations made by Al- bertans to a maximum of 75000 to pro- vide refugees and migrants with essential relief items such as food clothing water hygiene and medical assistance. Addition- ally Alberta pledged 100000 to Alberta- based settlement agencies to help refugees who settle in the province. The GNWT is currently exploring other ways it can lend its support to the interna- tional movement. Because we do not already have a role in refugee settlement services the Northwest Territories is exploring other ways we may be able to help reads the statement from McLeod. We are talk- ing to other provinces and territories about what they are doing and what their settlement programs entail and we are talking to our federal partners about what other opportunities exist for our territory.

BY CRAIG GILBERT DALI CARMICHAEL Floyd Roland holds his hands in the air at shoulder level and draws a V in the air. In front of a campre and with a brisk head- wind outside the Wood Buffalo Inn the for- mer Inuvik mayor and Northwest Territories premier and current Conservative candidate told about 20 people on Saturday night that the NWT is falling behind. It used to lead Northern Canada but has become a valley between the two mountains of the Yukon and Nunavut. Roland said he has believed the prime min- ister has the right plan for the country since he met him early in his premiership in 2007. Id never held a party membership card prior to meeting the prime minister he said after a short reside address. Its rare in the political world to nd somebody who will tell you like it is stick to the message and stick to what hes said to you and not come back with oh well. I found that refreshing. He said each region of the NWT has spe- cic concerns but that he is hearing about cost of living everywhere he goes. Im surprised that I hear a lot about the cost of living across the North he said add- ing job creation is also a common theme. Conservative leader Stephen Harper put down a small business platform plank on Sunday pledging to lower the tax rate for small employers from 11 to nine per cent over the next four years if reelected. He said the plan would give 2.7 billion back to 700000 small businesses over that period. Harper was in Hay River on Aug. 14 and pledged up to 16 million to surface the re- mainder of Highway 5 in Wood Buffalo Na- tional Park. Roland spent about four days in Fort Smith before heading back to Hay River himself then on to Yellowknife Monday. After resisting leaving ofce earlier this year he resigned as mayor of Inuvik on Aug. 17 to focus on the federal campaign. He said on Saturday he did so to avoid his campaign taking away from the town. Acting Mayor Jim McDonald has been at the helm since Aug. 17 and municipal elections in the NWT take place on the same day as the federal vote on Oct. 19. I said I was committed federally shortly after leaving the government of the NWT he said. A lot of people wanted me to run for mayor again but I felt I could serve the whole community and the Northwest Territories by stepping up to the federal plate. Grit pushes for infrastructure Parks funding Michael McLeod also made his way to the depths of the South Slave stopping in Fort Smith for the communitys Labour Day bar- beque and a meet and greet at the Pelican Rapids Inn. While in the town nestled atop Wood Buf- falo National Park McLeod announced the Liberal government would not only restore 25 million in funding cut from the budget of national parks but also increase science spending by the same amount to allow for early identication of ecological stresses. Theres been programs and staff cuts to all the parks across the country and we want to be able to reinstate that he said in an in- terview with the Journal. Our parks are important we need them to run year-round and we want visitors to come to our part of the country and view what we have to offer and we cant do it if the programs are under- funded under-resourced. The campaign promise ts in with the Lib- erals three-point plan. We want to create jobs by investing in the economy through infrastructure invest- ment McLeod said. We want to be able to put money into the pockets of the people through reduction in taxes and raising the taxes for the wealthiest one per cent. We also want to invest in the social infrastructure like affordable housing childcare space those type of things. Upon election Liberals would achieve these goals by taking on decits for up to four years and managing funds to increase money in the Building Canada Plan. The NWT government and the federal government have recently signed an agree- ment for 70 million for 10 years he said calling it a drop in the bucket. Our position is that we would increase the fund to make it workable so people can invest he said. I would like to see large infrastructure investments such as the ones Ive mentioned - the Mackenzie Valley highway the Tlicho roads extending run- ways for airports lower cost of living - as separate programming not coming from a program thats already too small and underfunded. McLeod also noted that he would ght to revive the Kelowna Accord an agreement which sought to improve education employ- ment and living conditions for Aboriginal peoples through governmental funding and alternative programs. Incumbent soapboxes for seniors Dennis Bevington the three-term New Democrat incumbent had a captive audience as he outlined planks in the NDP agenda that apply to seniors at the NWT Seniors Society AGM in Fort Smith Sept. 10 many related to the cost of living. He said he would push for an increase to the Northern allowance an equivalent to the fuel subsidy for apartment-dwelling seniors and a program to help build smaller more affordable and easier-to-maintain houses. A change to the very unfair GST which affects northerners disproportionately is also in the ethers as is a boost to the CPP which wouldnt cost the government anything and the guaranteed income supplement GIS which the NDP says it would augment by 400 million. Changing the age of eligibility for the OAS GIS to 67 is a repressive step that will leave more people in poverty he said. It doesnt need to happen we have the ability to deal with the OAS and GIS as they stand. The president of solar array installer Stand Alone Energy Systems which shares a building with Annas Home Cooking and his constituency ofce Bevington said there should be a federal program that reduces the amount of energy needed to live in the NWT. We need to build homes with smaller prop- erties that are easier to maintain new or retrotted houses that are efcient he said. In Tuktoyaktuk the cost of diesel fuel eats your entire GIS. Bevington also said a tax credit for care- givers would cost a lot less than putting a se- nior in a long-term care facility even if the extra help staves off the transfer for one year.

Hes the kind of doctor you always want caring for you former Aurora Research Institute director David Malcolm said last week. He doesnt just go through the checklist or ask what vitamins you take then take your blood pressure. He gets to the root of the problem and decides what needs to be done to ensure youre well in the future. Hes a real doctor. Now Boronowski who has been practic- ing in Inuvik for eight months out of the year for the past decade has a real brain teaser in front of him and his career is on the line. Suspended from obstetrics and anaesthe- siology duties at the Inuvik Regional Hospi- tal where he was medical director and chief of staff for three years and with a possible appearance before the Northwest Territories medical credentials committee which he sits on Boronowski is trying to put a jigsaw puzzle together in the dark with no idea how many pieces there are. Boronowski said neither the Beaufort Delta Health and Social Services Authority nor the chair of the credentials committee which de- cides who can and cannot practice medicine in the NWT will show him the content of the complaints against him. The most information he could get from health authority CEO Arlene Jorgensen or medical director Nadia Salvaterra since the saga started in June of this year is that there are complaints about his professionalism. I am simply unwanted at this point and I dont know what the reasons are he said. They just drafted a resignation letter for me to sign. I cant go anywhere with this hang- ing over my head. The self-described Inuviker is now in a state of limbo loath to leave the town he calls home but with his house already listed for sale. Asked about previous complaints Bo- ronowski said hes named in a lawsuit led by a Fort Good Hope man who had a blade fragment removed from his back about three years after several stab wounds were sewn up by a nurse. Boronowski gave the nurse advice over the phone and believes his name will be dropped from the suit since he never laid eyes nor hands on him. He said more recently he had been in- structed by the health authority not to teach students how to deliver a baby from an exhausted mother using vacuum for- ceps and in November to stop showing how to intubate during anaesthesia. He found both concerns bizarre since he supervised the student directly while teaching vacuum forceps and intubation is an essential part of anaesthesia. I said if you dont allow people to learn that youre dumbing down the program and students wont come because you just stand around in Inuvik Boronowski explained. He is hopeful an investigation by the British Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons will get to the bottom of things. A college spokesperson told the Journal via email that as a licensed B.C. physician Boronowski was required to inform them of any change regarding his practice in any jurisdiction where he holds a license which includes any cancellation suspen- sion or restriction on his ability to prac- tise medicine. As is normal process the College will be in contact with Dr. Boronowski and may also be in touch with the licensing body in the NWT to seek further explanation on this situation. The Beaufort Delta Health and Social Services Authority did not respond to the Journals request for comment before print deadline. Boronowski is as concerned for the patients he is leaving as he is for his own ability to practice medicine in the future. He said he left so abruptly he never had the chance to write a half-page summary on each patients chart a standard practice when one doctor is handing a patient off to another. Even when Im gone people need their hospital they need trust in their hospital he said. So its been painful. I didnt go to the media they came to me and thats because the community is so devastated. People are saying they dont want to see another doctor. Malcolm has been a patient of Boronows- kis for about a year and a friend for much longer. As he would in the exam room he agrees with his doctors read of the dynamic in Inuvik. The engineering consultant said the town is in a state of shock and quali- fied his alarm by noting there are good doctors in the NWT but attracting a phy- sician with his experience qualifications and demeanour to the far north would be challenging. I would say theyre making a terrible mistake Malcolm said. I dont have a clue what the complaints are or who made them but they should do an about-face apologize and welcome him back. It is an absolute shame.

They come around and ask for ciga- rettes money money money money just over and over again and if they dont get it she doesnt have it they get mad she said through an interpreter. In a jurisdiction where elder abuse is 25 times more common than the rest of Canada a new five-year strategy to make communities across the NWT safer for seniors 60 years or older who stand to account for 20 per cent of the population here by 2020. Revealed Sept. 10 at the NWT Seniors Society AGM in Fort Smith the report is the product of the NWT Network to Prevent Abuse of Older Adults a collection of 73 in- dividuals and agency members from govern- ment NGO First Nations and community organizations across the territory. All forms of abuse exist in the NWT but nancial abuse and neglect are the most common. The numbers are cold but the im- pact is 100 per cent human family violence against seniors jumped 14 per cent in Can- ada between 2009 and 2014 and the rate of seniors reporting abuse to police was 61 per 100000 persons. In the NWT that gure was 1543 per 100000. Among the about 600 seniors interviewed in 2015 two-thirds reported being abused nancially in the form of pension cheques being taken or the outright theft of cash and 53 per cent said they experienced a lack of care over- or underuse of medication and loneliness. Another 47 per cent described disrespect threats blaming or other emotional abuse while 43 per cent said they had endured yell- ing name-calling swearing or other verbal abuse. A third reported physical abuse in- cluding hitting beating and slapping 11 per cent reported being forced to have sex or being raped. Underpinning it all is the estimate that seven out of 10 incidents of elder abuse are never reported to police. According to the strategy 55 per cent of seniors are not aware of their right to live without abuse and more than half dont know how to protect them- selves or where to go for help. The executive director of the NWT Se- niors Society Barb Hood doesnt com- pletely buy the idea that elder abuse is several times higher north of the 60th parallel wondering whether increased awareness and reporting could be behind the statistic. I dont think its any worse here than in other parts of the world she said. Were fortunate to live in small communities where We have rsthand experience in seeing this growing Hood said. Its important to keep educating and training frontline staff. Theyre the ones who see it and feel some- times their hands are tied. The strategy taking aim at those sobering facts in order to make communities safer for seniors is fourfold involving public engage- ment education and training community responses and policy and legislation. We talked about this in 2011 and now its a reality Hood continued. We have tools we can use and workshops we can put on and the Health department has requested training for frontline staff. She said Health and Social Services Min- ister Glen Abernethy who was in Fort Smith for the 55 Friendly Games over the week- end is on-board. We have a minister who is interested in seeing this addressed in a couple of ways so I hope it will continue at the government level she said. The department has had an action plan for a bit now and theyre looking at it well be advising the minis- ter Im sure. A new strategy to make NWT safer for seniors people care for one another. More people are seeing it and there has been a tendency to not talk about it but it has been a focus of our organization for the last five years and the NWT Network has been working on it for 20. She said the societys seniors help line receives about two calls per month about abuse either from the senior or a concerned family member.

Organized by the Fort Smith Senior Cit- izens Society more than 30 participants came out for the tournament this year some from as far away as California and Australia. The purpose is to encourage seniors to be active and thats active physically and men- tally said organizer Janie Hobart. Thats why cribbage is one of our sports. Other competitive events included golf horseshoes swimming and general athletics. In addition to the more formal rounds the seniors were also treated to a tizzy of fun activities. Jam-packed evenings consisted of everything from delicious meals to karaoke sing-offs and lessons in Bunnock known as the game of bones. Giving the group an outlet to socialize was just as important as the games Ho- bart noted. If people have disabilities its often not easy to get out and about and this is one way they can she said. The socialization aspect is important for any age group. Overseeing the games was the NWT min- ister responsible for seniors and persons with disabilities Glen Abernethy.

Visit www.rmwb.cachampions By DALI CARMICHAEL Whilesomepost-secondarystudentsstarted off the academic year with party-lled frosh weeks pupils in the Bachelor of Education Program at Aurora College instead came to- gether for several days of building camara- derie and learning on the land. Indigenous teachers and those trained through a European-based system hoped to inspire the future educators to infuse elements of traditional learning into their classrooms in every subject from history to math. We continue to focus on relationships and looking at how to ensure our commu- nity teachers are present and a part of what we do Auroras education department chair Dave Porter said. Weve been told through our elders through our commu- nities through our own experiences that the more focus we can put on relationships within the program and the community thats the way to go. Those words were put into action at last weeks culture camp hosted at Kettle Point in Wood Buffalo National Park Sept. 8-11. In addition to carrying out the every- day tasks of running a camp as a team the group participated in a series of traditional activities and discussion sessions with el- ders from the community. The immersion factor was critical for the teachers accord- ing to former deputy assistant minister for the department of Education Culture and Employment Pauline Gordon who has more than 30 years of experience in the field. It doesnt mean that a teacher has to go into a school and isolate themselves it means they have to go out and make meaningful con- nections to ensure that they have the proper resources Gordon said. Theres never ever one teacher that just can do everything you need the resources. You need somebody in medicine somebody who performs subsistence harvesting from the area somebody that knows the legends. Known for being an outspoken force Gor- don seized the opportunity to inform the new generation of teachers in a manner that was straightforward and holistic. During one discussion session she divided the students into small groups ensuring an elder sat with each. The conversations were tense as topics ranged from the history of In- digenous education before contact with Eu- ropean settlers to the infamy of residential schools and their intergenerational impacts on families. Positive developments were identied as well with Gordon drawing much attention to the Dene Kede and Inuuquatigiit curricu- lums created to cement Dene language pro- gramming into NWT classrooms. Ive only been here for a few years and Ive already learned a lot more than I had known prior to this week said rst-year student Margaret Tarwell originally from Petawawa Ont. Reading about Indigenous history in a book is totally different from hearing it from somebody who was actually there and actu- ally experienced it. For the rst time in the annual camps his- tory students enrolled in all four years of the program were invited to attend. I havent gone to camp in a long time and I like learning about a traditional way of life andactivitiessaidTimGarganLaCassean- other rst-year student from Fort Simpson.

As the students moved on to snacking on country foods and taking trips into the surrounding forest to identify medicinal fo- liage each activity was linked back to the importance of including culture in every- day lessons. Theres some healing that goes on con- tinuously between a government system and peoples territory the rst peoples Porter said. We need to ensure that those steps are taken for the survival of the territory. Unless we do that our next generation is not going to be in as good a place as they could be.

By DALI CARMICHAEL The territorial coroner is calling for a re- view of the patient care given to an Inuvik man who died by suicide after repeatedly asking for help. Milan Cerny 62 was found deceased in his apartment by the RCMP on Aug. 15 2014 after his landlord called for a wellness check. Given this mans struggle with loneli- ness depression his problems with addic- tions his problems with medications was everything done that could have been done for him NWT chief coroner Cathy Menard said in explaining her decision for the request. Was there something more that could have been done Menards report states Cerny had been ad- mitted to the Inuvik hospital with depression and suicidal ideation in June 2014. Soon after it was decided that he would benet from home care which appears to have been unsuccessful according to the report. In the months leading up to his death Cerny had several visits with his counselor where he described his symptoms worsen- ing. In addition to his negative ideation he complained of a lack of appetite and sleeping many hours a day. More than once he requested to be admit- ted to the hospital to be stabilized. Cernys remains were sent to Edmonton for autopsy. Numerous pills and pill frag- ments were found in his stomach during the examination. A toxicology test performed on bile and liver tissue revealed elevated levels of morphine a medication not included on Cernys list as of April 2014. There was no natural disease found to ac- count for the death. In reviewing the information and docu- mentation I have determined that Milan Cerny died as a result of morphine toxicity Menard wrote. I further classied the man- ner of death as suicide. The Beaufort Delta Health and Social Ser- vicesAuthoritydidnotrespondtotheJournals request for comment before print deadline.

Coroner calls for review of care following Inuvik mans suicide BY CRAIG GILBERT The New Democrat government in Alberta should clear the air on recently released air quality data for the Wildrose province the Ofcial Opposition said Sept. 10. Environment Minister Shannon Phillips released a report based on Canadian Am- bient Air Quality Standards a day earlier that raised the alarm over particulates and ground-level ozone measured at testing sta- tions across the province but particularly in the Red Deer district. There are nine dis- tricts in all. The data is presented as four levels of alert green yellow orange and red red being the worst. For the purpose of the report an entire district is rated according to the worst single reading from any station within that district. The Peace River and Lower Athabasca dis- tricts encompass northern Alberta. Lower Athabasca which stretches from the NWT down the Saskatchewan border to the Edmon- ton district was rated orange for particulate matter and yellow for ground-level ozone due to low-level readings at stations placed near populatedindustrialized areas at CNRL Ho- rizon and Anzac respectively. Peace River which covers the rest of northern AB reaching down beyond Grande Prairie saw all four of its monitoring stations measure yellow level readings for particulates and green for ozone. The Red Deer district by comparison was rated red meaning at least one station there JUSTICE MENTAL HEALTH registered more than 63 parts per billion ppb of ground-level ozone over an eight- hour period or 28 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic metre of air gm3 over a 24-hour period or both. Phillips said in a press release the num- bers are concerning and put Alberta on track to have the worst air quality in Canada sooner than later. We cant keep going down the same path and expecting a different result she said. Our government has a responsibility to protect the health of Albertans by ensuring air pollution from all sources is addressed. The Red Deer air zone now requires a mandatory response action plan to reduce levels below ambient standards while the Lower Athabasca Upper Athabasca North Saskatchewan and South Saskatchewan re- gions require management plans to protect them from potential future exceedances ac- cording to the government. Effective immediately Alberta will im- plement action plans developed under the national Air Zone Management Framework. The framework has four levels each of which requires a different degree of man- agement action and planning. Government is exploring a number of possible options to reduce air pollution emissions includ- ing more stringent standards for indus- try standards for vehicles and increased air monitoring. The province may not need any degree of management action according to Wildrose environment critic Todd Loewen. Without a better explanation from the NDP any new policy appears to be an over- reaction Loewen said in a release. We have conicting data on the governments own website and they have failed to identify pollution sources for the Red Deer data. It is clear we need to take a more balanced ap- proach to this issue based on evidence and not ideology. The government should provide measur- able comparisons with other provinces to identify likely sources for actual declines in air quality and put forward balanced and common sense solutions to ensure clean air in all regions of the province he said. Everyone wants clean air but it looks like the Environment Minister needs to do more homework before jumping ahead with new policies and regulations. The responses Phillips described are based on an air quality standard adopted by the Canadian Council of Environment Ministers in 2012. The data is based on incorporating a three-year average of the measurements taken at the monitoring stations.

DiAnn BlesseIt is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our mother grandmother sister friend confidante teacher and mentor DiAnn Blesse. DiAnn devoted her life to her passion for teaching. She was a role model and inspiration for so many. She worked endlessly for a better understanding and respect for aboriginal culture in our education system. In 2011 the Canadian Teachers Federation honoured her with the Outstanding Aboriginal Educator Award. DiAnn is survived by her sons Nathan and Josh Watson daughter-in-law Anthia Watson as well as her grandchildren Sara Duban Aidan Meadow and Josh Watson Jr. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Brothers and sisters Donald and Adella Hammerstrom Don and Carol Oberquell Gary and Joan Anderson as well as many nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind many friends colleagues and students whose lives she touched in countless ways over the years. Her kindness wisdom and strength will live on in all those whose lives she has touched. She will be deeply missed. Please join us in a memorial service to celebrate her life on September 26th 2015 in the Sir John Franklin High School foyer at 200 p.m. BY CRAIG GILBERT Its a bird its a plane its - the future of forestry. It might be surprising to learn the Japanese government is studying the impact of forest res in the Northwest Territories. That there are quadricopter drones digital cameras and lasers involved less so. It would be more accurate to say Chiba Uni- versity researcher Akira Kato and his team are demonstrating how well the technology works in mapping out vast swathes of land- scape in a matter of minutes more accurate being the active term. Since the dawn of time forestry has been about estimates either mapping a small section of land or taking an aerial photo- graph of the crown and in both cases using an equation or algorithm to estimate how many and what types of trees are in the entire forest. But by using a relatively inexpensive ter- restrial laser picture something similar to a land surveying crew and a camera mounted on a drone Kato can precisely map out ex- actly what is there from the tops of the trees to the forest oor resolving even individual shrubs and plants. A 3D rendering Kato showed the Journal even included a yield sign. The team was in the bush around Fort Smith for two weeks earlier this month com- paring the trees after this years re season with their data from previous years to accu- rately measure how much biomass was lost in the blaze. Kato has a three-year grant from the Japa- nese government for the project. We have to test it to see how practical it is he said. We scanned here in 2012 so after the record re seasons in 2014 and 2015 its perfect. We want to continually monitor how the forest regenerates. Its great for archiving too.Atanytimewecangobackandcompare. Theyre also comparing data with another Japanese research team from Kyoto Univer- sity that has been studying historical climate conditions in the NWT vis--vis the thickness of the rings in a trees trunk which reveal how much moisture was available to the tree in a given year. That team has been doing it the old-fashioned way for more than 20 years. They have really good baseline data they spend about a month here every year. Katos ultimate goal has nothing in com- mon with Smokey the Bears agenda though. He wants to prove how effective and efcient the equipment is and one day to see foresters around the world using the same technique to manage their own areas. He even brought two employees of the company that makes the scanner to ensure everything goes smoothly. It was very tedious work before and even previous scanners took up to an hour or more but Katos current weapon of choice nishes up a single scan in about 10 minutes. Its incredibly faster than before Kato said. Using a plane is so expensive and scanners used to be much larger and more expensive also. With this once you own the scanner which costs about 2000 thats all. Its very practical. Japanese team uses drones cameras and lasers to see NWT forest for the trees Chiba University researcher Akira Kato centre with students Mizuki Taga and Shta Miura and surveyors Atsushi Unno and Yushi Mochizuki are in Fort Smith to measure forests accurately with lasers and aerial photography.
