T he allure of even a wellcrafted, lightweight shovel begins to pale after days upon numberless days of snow upon snow upon snow There is wisdom in the old saw that everybody likes to complain about the weather, but nobody does anything about it I have no quarrel with that assertion, and harbour no ill will toward those who make it Complaining about the weather is an essential element of Canadian life It binds us together from coast to coast to you-know-where Doing nothing about it is also a time-honoured Canadian tradition, as is berating the hapless slugs in the weather prediction business whenever they get something even mildly wrong In normal years, under normal circumstances, none of the above applies to British Columbia’s southwestern precincts, whose denizens never complain about the weather Why would they? If anything unites Canadians more than a dislike of Toronto (or the Habs, or Justin Bieber, or what- ever party is currently in office), it is resentment of smug left-coasters who boast about daffodils in February, or vines laden with sunripened fruit weeks before any other part of the dominion Yes, Virginia, our home and native land is still officially called the Dominion of Canada, although the ranks of those who use that arcane title are becoming increasingly thin It is often possible to recognize members of this species by their habit of referring to the late Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David Windsor as Edward VIII, King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, et cetera, rather than the more modest title of Duke of Windsor Not all of them are paidup subscribers of the Monarchist League of Canada, nor they all share the deflationary dogma of the Flat Earth Society Nevertheless, many of these noble souls clearly hanker for days of yore, when the Cadbury map of the world in every elementary school classroom was awash in pink to reflect the scope and PHOTO: Pixabay presents After their snowy January and February, Ken welcomes the left coast to the Dominion of Canada might of the British Empire, upon which the sun would surely never set And where else might one find the most concentrated mass of such souls than right there in the bottom-left corner of Canada’s map, in the tea-sipping nooks of the lovely Empress Hotel in Victoria, which predates even the aforementioned King/Duke? But I digress My thesis (if I actually have one) is that these are not normal times Suddenly, the rest of Canada is choosing to embrace Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and the Lower Mainland as bona fide parts of the Dominion of Snow and Ice Welcome aboard We promise not to mock the clumsy way you wield your first snow shovel, recently purchased from your neighbourhood tire centre But woe betide you the next time you dare brag about those February daffodils Ken Bolton is a freelance writer who lives southeast of Whitehorse Advanced Techniques to help you FEEL BEAUTIFUL EVERY DAY!

MOREWARDS.CA 43 Chilkoot Way, Whitehorse 867-668-6660 7am – 10pm, days a week Shop online saveonfoods.com arika Kitchen can’t remember a time when she wasn’t environmentally conscious She grew up with parents who led a low-impact lifestyle and took her camping as a kid That, she said, influenced her views as an adult and that’s what led Kitchen, 19, to the Canadian Conservation Corps (CCC) CCC is a nine-month program, created by the Canadian Wildlife Federation, and offered by the Canadian government, to youth aged 18 to 30 The program consists of three stages—an Outward Bound-led wilderness adventure, field work and outreach At each stage, participants learn team building, leadership skills and more Kitchen said she heard about the program when she was working at Yukon Youth Conservation Corps “I was finishing up that job and it was a good time to kind of start something new and it was definitely something I was interested in I’ve been interested in it my whole life.” “Just kind of with it being a new experience and a new program, it has a lot of different things that you could get out of it and learn,” she said “I’m at that stage in life where I want to be learning and developing different skills.” Last fall, Kitchen jumped into a month of training, including leadership and first aid After that, she spent roughly two weeks with a group of 10 other program participants, kayaking around Vancouver Island As a team, they worked on navigational and safety skills while paddling Hornby Island, Tofino and Comox “I think there are a lot of things that are important that I learned One is gaining a lot of confidence in how I present myself and things Just because you’re put in situations you’re not used to and you’re forced out of your comfort zone, you kind of learn a lot about yourself because of that.” Following that, Kitchen spent three months in Ottawa, where she worked with the Canadian Wildlife Federation, researching the American eel in Ontario waterways “Eels get chopped up in the turbines along the dams on rivers It’s one of the reasons they’re endangered,” she said “My research was to go and catch eels and try to figure out tracking migration patterns to see if the eels were using a bypass in the waterways.” Right now, Kitchen is on a break, visiting her sister in Thailand Before she left however, she had started her stage three with CCC, including completing volunteer hours with different conservation organizations in the Yukon, such as CPAWS, Yukon Energy and Zero Waste Yukon When she returns, she’ll continue with that and with outreach work, she said She wants to bring awareness to issues of conservation It may be second nature to someone like Kitchen, whose mother has long been involved with the Caribou Recovery Project, but there are people for whom conservation isn’t part of an everyday conversation Just making them aware and showing them how they might get involved is really important to her “It’s just being mindful of what you use and taking small steps toward helping a big overall change.” To that end, when she comes back to the Yukon this spring, she’ll be presenting in local schools She wants to organize a youth forum to get youth together and have elders come in and discuss the environment To find out more about the program Kitchen is finishing, visit cwf-fcf.org Amy Kenny lives in Whitehorse Among other things, she works as a copy editor for What’s Up Yukon If she’s not inside writing, she’s outside running mountains Suffering from Headaches and Neck Pain?

night at the North of Ordinary Experience Centre on Jan 4, 2019 Whitehorse prog-rock trio Antarticus will be playing a show on March 23 to celebrate the release of their first album Antarticus’ album, with artwork by CChris ris Caldwell oof Heavy Metal NNorth, h, is set for a vinyl inyl release by Manus Hopkins T ake a listen to Antarticus’ album—you almost won’t believe it was released this year The prog-rock record is packed with extended solos, synthesizers and sci-fi/fantasy themes As if that’s not oldschool enough, it’s also being released on vinyl “I think it makes sense for our style and mentality,” said bassist, keyboardist and vocalist Mack Smith “It’s more of a personal, nostalgic choice, but we feel that fans of our music will appreciate having it on vinyl.” On March 23, Antarticus will be putting on a special show at the Elks Lodge, where fans can get their hands on the physical album for the first time Though the album is already up on online streaming platforms and will see a CD release as well, the desire to have vinyl records manufactured was shared by the whole group “We just wanted to have a real deal 180g vinyl physical copy you can hold in your hands that’s just as good as what any other band or label would release,” said guitarist and vocalist Addam Parsons “Plus (Heavy Metal North artist) Chris Caldwell did such a great job on the album art, it deserves to be shown off as an LP!” Rounded out by drummer Dustin Parsons (Addam’s twin), A i Antarticus has been gigging on Whitehorse’s local circuit since 2017 All three members had been playing in various bands for over a decade beforehand “We played a lot of shows together and always talked about music gear and our love of Rush,” said Smith The three musicians were involved in doom quartet Flora Colossus for some time before PHOTO: courtesy co y of Antarticus branching off “We all kind of lost interest as Flora Colossus started to fade away so I brought forward some different songs that I had been working on in my spare time and we formed Antarticus.” While Antarticus has an impressive list of live performances under its belt already, including a main stage spot at the 2017 At- lin Arts & Music Festival, with a record now out, the band is garnering more attention “We’ve been getting more interest than I initially expected,” said Parsons “Folks all over the world have been reaching out and telling us they really enjoyed the record or have been playing it on their podcasts and radio stations So hopefully it can keep building momentum one fan at a time.” With a strong musical chemistry, Smith and the Parsons twins were able to collaboratively create songs that showed their influences, but still took off in their own directions While the album’s musical elements were inspired by a variety of decadesold bands including Rush and Black Sabbath, the lyrics revolve around themes and imagery from books and movies, such as Bladerunner, Heavy Metal and Dune “We get along musically quite well,” said Parsons “It’s a blessing that we can work off each other and develop ideas without much arguing or struggling.” Antarticus’ album was recorded at Green Needle Records with sound engineer Jim Holland It was co-produced and mixed by Holland and Smith, and mastered by Craig Waddell The band released it themselves on their own label, Stoneburner Records So far, the music has been featured on podcasts in Poland, Germany and the U.K It has received positive critical reception Vinyl copies can be pre-ordered on Bandcamp now The album’s vinyl release party will take place on Saturday, March 23 at the Elks Lodge The doors open at p.m The all-ages show is also a licensed event, so ID is required to get a liquor wristband for the cashonly bar Tickets can be purchased in advance at Triple J’s Music Café, or at the door at an increased cost The show will feature an opening set by local rockers Abscess of the Dog To see more information and read a review of

It’s so timeless in that way.” In accordance with her family’s rule, Thiroux spent four years of her early childhood pursuing the Suzuki method, which uses violin as the foundational instrument of musical instruction “Honestly, I was really bad at violin Especially when there’s other little kids around you that are sawing away at it and playing concertos already by age six,” she admitted “Not that I didn’t enjoy it, but as soon as I got my hands on the bass, that was finally it for me.” That transition was made easier by the fact that both her mother and her older brother played bass Plus, her mother imparted some pragmatic advice from her own experience “She just suggested—and I’ll never forget this, because it was so vivid—‘Why don’t you try the bass, because someone always needs a bass player, and you always make money.’” At the age of eight, thanks to a “wonderful, mentoring teacher,” Thiroux found her musical future “As soon as I held the instrument it was just like when a little kid holds a baseball bat for the first time and says, ‘This is it.’ That’s what it felt like for me.” As well as the bass, the young Thiroux was learning to master another instrument—her own voice “I was really lucky to grow up in Los Angeles, where there happened to be a lot of music going on all the time I was able to study with wonderful teachers and get to be in really great children’s choirs.” When she was 10 years old, one of the choirs Thiroux belonged to functioned as a sort of “farm team” for the Los Angeles Opera “So I was in this choir and got Myths, Legends and Storytelling of a voice some writers have described as clear, but not particularly big “I agree It’s more conversational, I guess Almost like a horn That’s how I feel about it But I love lyrics I love, love, love telling a story I feel badly about this, but if I don’t like a song, it’s usually to with the lyrics,” she said Throughout high school, her orientation as a bass player was definitely toward classical music She even intended to pursue that trajectory in university, except for a “thought knocking on the door” questioning that choice Eventually, she realized she really couldn’t see herself “sitting in the back of an orchesPHOTO: courtesy of Katie Thiroux tra for the rest of my life Not that there’s anything wrong with that at all, but, for me, it wasn’t the feeling.” Enter jazz More specifically, enter one particular tune in her parent’s eclectic record collection It wasn’t by Ray Brown, or any of the double-bass jazz giants with such names as Clarke, Carter, Mingus, or Haden It was by vibraphonist and swing band leader, Lionel Hampton And it was anything but highbrow jazz “It was really one cut I heard hired to sing in the world premiere of Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox, which was pretty cool.” Thiroux wasn’t destined to be an opera singer, partly because Vocalist-bass player Katie Thiroux will bring her jazz trio to Whitehorse for a Jazz of his called ‘Rag Mop.’ It was so silly, but fun and swinging, and there’s a lot of people in the band,” Thiroux said “I couldn’t tell if they were making the song up on the spot, or what was going on, but it was just so fun I was like, ‘Wow, I should start listening to this music more often.’” The rest, as the cliché goes, is history—a full-ride scholarship to Berklee College of Music; gigs in Monterey, California, and practically everywhere else with a jazz festival; extensive touring and teaching; two CDs and a third in the wings This month, Thiroux will travel the farthest north she’s ever been, to present a Jazz on the Wing concert for Jazz Yukon With her will be longtime friends and collaborators, Glenn Zaleski and Matt Witek, on piano and drums, respectively Next summer, she and Witek will inaugurate a week-long jazz camp on the Hawaiian island of Maui At just 31, Thiroux has a clear understanding of why she does what she does “The reason I play music is to help people, to help humanity As long as that remains a goal and an endpoint, I will continue to play music.” The Katie Thiroux Trio will perform Sunday, March 24 on the Yukon Arts Centre mainstage, beginning at 7:30 p.m on the Wing concert on Sunday, March 24 Ken Bolton is a freelance writer and former co-editor of What’s Up Yukon LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!
