Our expansion is really twopart We’re moving the existing operation to the new building, and we’re remodelling our existing location to become a taqueria-style Mexican restaurant The new Brewing Company facility will see an increase in seating of more than 200 per cent On the first floor we’ll have the main bar, which looks into the Brewery and will feature a stagel, along with a large outdoor beer garden with a retractable awning, and a spacious gift shop The second floor will feature the dining rooms with a small bar There will also be outdoor seating on the secondfloor deck, which faces south and runs the length of the front of the building SO MORE BEER? The brewery will see all new equipment, with batch sizes going from four barrels at present, to 10 barrel batches The increase in batch size, along with the additional tanks, means an overall production capacity increase of nearly 500 per cent WHAT ABOUT THE MENU? The menu will chiefly remain the same, but with the acquisition of our new large pellet smoker, look to see some smoked meats on the menu, along with a variety of dinner entrées The addition of the garden will bring about some big changes to our operation as leafy greens and herbs (for salads, dressings, and marinades) will be produced and harvested from our onsite indoor garden To understand the magnitude of this, I’ll share our present “greens” scenario Currently, the best-case sequence of events is that our greens were harvested right before we placed our order, which is then delivered to the barge in Seattle We receive them nine days later in Skagway We have a high standard for quality, so we end up disposing of a staggering amount of produce Luckily, much goes to feed some of the local residents’ chickens, so it isn’t a total waste HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE LIMITATIONS OF FOOD PRODUCE IN A TOWN LIKE SKAGWAY? We’re doing a couple of unique things from a sustainability standpoint We will use the waste CO2 from our brewing process to increase the capacity of our indoor garden All of the domestic hot water in the building, the infloor radiant heat, and the steam used in the brewing process will be tempered from a boiler that runs on homemade biodiesel We’ll take the waste vegetable oil from our fryers, combine it with a few other inputs, and run it through a machine that cleans the oil, de-waterizes it and produces a biodiesel with the same properties as heating oil Healy is also the president of the Skagway Development Corporation, a non-profit organization devoted to helping develop small business, enhance the economy, and offer assistance to smaller non-profit organizations in Skagway You can visit them at http:// www.SkagwayBrewing.com or find their events on Facebook Kylie Campbell is an Australian writer and photographer exploring the Yukon Helping people who have been injured, abused, or wronged ü ü ü ü ü ü YUKON LAWYERS Email: info@shierjerome.ca (867) 668-2600 shierjerome.ca Personal Injury Law Employment Law Civil Litigation Abuse Law 60’s Scoop Residential School Free Initial Consultation Suite 200, 6131 6th Ave, Whitehorse, YT Y1A 1N2 Fax: (867) 668-2604 Toll Free: 877-668-8882 12 whatsupyukon.com What’s in Store for 2019?

Well, perhaps not, but it is most certainly an intriguing astronomical object It is in fact, Algol, the best known of all variable stars for northern observers Algol, residing in the constellation Perseus, is an eclipsing binary-two stars that are in orbit around a common center, with the plane of their orbit almost exactly in our line of sight The two stars are too far away to be seen individually, so when they eclipse, the single point of light we see becomes the light of only one of the stars Thus ness of this period is because the two stars are very close to each other Earth is one astronomical unit (AU) from the Sun, or 150 million kilometers (km) The two stars of Algol are only 062 AU, or just over milAbout 7.3 million years ago, Algol whizzed on by our neighbourhood, passing within 10 light lion km from years of us That may have been close enough to gravitationally perturb the Oort Cloud of icy each other bodies surrounding our Solar System, casting several in for a swing around the Sun Perhaps the C o n s i d e r i n g creatures of the late Miocene era were treated to a plethora of dazzling comets the combined If your initial efforts to catch Algol at minima are not successful, don’t give up There’s more diameters of the two eclipses on the way In fact, the ones that your children may watch in their senior years have stars are al- already left Algol At 93 ly away now, Algol has performed this waltz more than 10,000 times, and most mil- all are enroute to us at the speed of light as we speak lion km gives And conversely, at 93 ly away, the very first radio waves ever broadcast from Earth should be perspective just arriving at Algol now All that beautiful music!

debut with a nine-piece ensemble at Jazz in the Hall on February by Ken Bolton L onnie Powell’s passion for percussion dates back to a childhood night in B.C.’s Kootenay region, when he attended a wedding reception with his mother and watched a “really animated” drummer strut his stuff “He was having so much fun that it was infectious That stuck with me, because he was having such a ball on the stage,” recalled Powell What really sealed his musical fate, though, was a birthday present from his older sister when he was 12—the drum kit she had found in a second-hand store in Calgary “It was an old Rogers set I still have some of those pieces today, but that was a game-changer, for sure Once I had those, I don’t think I’ve ever stopped hitting things to this day.” Powell’s father had been a guitarist, but died before his son could see him perform publicly Not long after getting his drum kit, the teenaged Lonnie was using it to play local gigs with his dad’s brothers “A lot of my friends were delivering newspapers and working at Sears, putting appliances in warehouses, but I think I might have been making better money playing these shows on the weekend with my uncles’ country band,” he said It didn’t take long for him to recognize the sense of unity the music brought to a roomful of people “Once I got to a few live shows, I realized that people would dance to what we were doing, and that we were the source of that feeling.” Getting attention and approval definitely added to the experience in the early days of a musical career that’s been unfolding now for more than 30 years “I did get the attention of girls, too, which obviously is kind of cool The ladies like the drummers,” he added with a laugh Over the years, Powell has heard his share of lame jokes denigrating drummers as tonedeaf people who love to hang around with musicians “It used to affect me I used to feel like, ‘Oh, I’m less than the rest of these people because I didn’t have a university background or a music degree.’ But I also realized the importance of the groove and the feeling of the song—we call it the pocket.” Powell had little interest in emulating the “drumnastics and fancy licks and how fast you can play” pyrotechnics of some of the more flamboyant percussionists Instead, he found himself attracted to “really musical” drummers, such as Steve Gadd, John Bonham and Max Roach “I moved to Vancouver and heard Duris Maxwell (also known as Ted Lewis) playing with the Powder Blues Band That guy could shuffle as good as anybody on the planet.” Although he didn’t know it at the time, Maxwell had also been highly influenced early on by Powell’s own mentor, Scottish-born drum guru, Jim Blackley It was Blackley who imbued Powell with an awareness of the need for drummers to get out of their heads and into their bodies “Blackley said it ‘You should be dancing with your hands, laddie It’s a dance.’ And he was a dancer Buddy Rich was a great tap dancer Steve Gadd was an excellent tap dancer before he was a drummer “They had the showmanship, but those guys could really play When the substance is there and the showmanship is there, it’s PHOTO: courtesy of Lonnie Powell Inside Yukon Inn Mall on Fourth (Beside Dollar Store) Longtime Whitehorse drummer Lonnie Powell playing at the Yukon Arts Centre in 2013 for the launch of Declan O’Donovan’s first CD awesome,” Powell added “Those guys would flip sticks, and jump up and down, and be all over the kit, but they never got away from the fact that it has to really swing.” A carpenter by trade, Powell moved to the Yukon in 1995 to pursue a different kind of swinging—with a hammer “I came up to build Bob Hamilton’s Old Crow studio The moment we had that studio ready, I started playing and tracking And that has had a huge effect,” he admitted “All that little stuff you think you’re playing just gets in the way of the singer-songwriter and their music So I know when I go in and my ego’s going on, then, when I listen to these tracks, it’s pretty humbling.” Besides his day job with Yukon Housing, Powell has maintained a busy performing and recording schedule since moving to Whitehorse “I’ve had the chance to play all kinds of music, with players who’ve been able to lift me to places where I didn’t even realize I could go,” he said “I’ve recorded with some really good players and played genres I’m normally not comfortable in, but it has inspired me.” On Thursday, Feb 7, Powell’s musical journey will take a new direction He’ll be leading a ninepiece group of some seasoned Yukon performers in a Jazz in the Hall concert at the Old Fire Hall (details at yukonartscentre.com) The personnel will include Andrea McColeman (keyboards), Dave Haddock (bass), Jim Holland (guitar), Keith Todd (trombone), Adrian Burrill (trumpet) and Olivier de Colombel (sax) Vocalists Lucie Desaulniers and Lorène Charmetant will also join The program will be dedicated to Steve Gadd, and feature numerous tunes he made famous with an eclectic mix of performers such as Eric Clapton, Rickie Lee Jones, Paul Simon and Chick Corea “I’m including all those different genres because it’s an example of how much the drummer affects those grooves,” he said “It kind of glues the whole thing together It’s got that ability.” Ken Bolton is a freelance writer and former co-editor of What’s Up Yukon Mobile Shredding Save time Shred
