San Francisco dazzles with attractions for students
by Shawn Giilck
Northern News Services
The students from the East
Three Secondary School's
Art Travel Club might have
had to revise their trip on
short notice, but they still
made it a work of art.
The club returned from
San Francisco recently deeply impressed with what they
saw.
Club members had originally planned to visit Italy, but
when it became clear their
fundraising estimates weren't
going to be successful enough
to go there, they regrouped
and picked the American city.
Karly King Simpson and
Ben Kaufman were two of
the students on the trip.
"San Francisco was amazing ... and
super-warm,"
King Simpson said. "It
was a backup plan for
us."
"It was so enjoyable,"
Kaufman chipped in. "There
was a lot of anticipation for
the trip, since we'd been fundraising for more than a yearand-a-half. It was really exciting to just go there."
King Simpson said her
favourite part was visiting the
former prison on Alcatraz,
which is now a park, and an
art exhibit there.
The exhibit
focuses on political prisoners,
she and Kaufman said, so
that's the relevance to the
prison.
"It was insane to see that,
and it focused on all the political prisoners around the
world," she said.
King Simpson said it was
fascinating to see some of the
art personally, rather than just
from books and photos.
"We saw art we've been
studying and replicating in
art class," she said. "There
were people whose work we
recognized."
Steve Wagar, a teacher at
East Three, was one of the
chaperones on the trip.
"It's always fun taking students to new places," he said.
"There was not one complaint
from the entire trip. There
was not one negative issue,
and these students were great
ambassadors of the North."
Alexandra Winchester,
the art teacher at East Three
Secondary School and staff
liaison with the club, spoke at
some length about the art the
students saw.
She pointed to the Alcatraz exhibit, highlighting
prisoners of conscience as
one of the favourite parts of
the trip.
"They're mostly from
countries where you're
not allowed to speak out
against your government,"
she said. "So it was about
personal freedoms, making

All of the club members
wrote postcards to political
prisoners around the world
as part of an Amnesty International initiative, Winchester added.
"Some are in jail for creating art. Some are artists,"
she said.
The club members also
saw "a lot of modern art,"
Winchester said, as well as
some more classic art and
textile art.
Interestingly, one exhibit
that proved intriguing to the
students was one of Arctic
art, principally from Alaska.
"It was carvings, and lot of
things to do with aboriginal
art in the North," Winchester said. "It was great to see
an entire exhibit of that. It's
interesting to see stuff that
we see regularly at home in
an art gallery there."
The students also saw art
exhibits from up-and-coming
artists, Winchester said, some
of which "made no sense" to
them.
"But sometimes that's the
point of art," she added with
a laugh. "It's to create your

Fiscal shape up
It looks like membership rates at
the Midnight Sun Recreation Complex Fitness Centre are increasing.
Inuvik council members were to
vote on the increase to the rates at the
April 22 meeting.
The proposed new rates were to
be discussed at the April 20 committee of the whole meeting, but it was
cancelled due to a lack of quorum.
Yearly memberships would
increase to $450 from the current
$350. Quarterly memberships would
rise to $125 from $100. Monthly and
weekly memberships would also rise
$10 to $50 and $30 respectively.
Daily passes would increase to
$7 from $5.
All rates include a $20 card
deposit, other than corporate memberships.
The fees have not been increased
since 2003, a report to council states.
In the last two years, the town's
community services department has
spent $50,000 on upgrading the centre.
Imperial Oil hosting
meeting
Imperial Oil representatives plan
to hold a public meeting on their
plans for offshore drilling north of
Tuktoyaktuk on April 23.
"These sessions are part of our
ongoing consultation with communities in the ISR. They are meant
to help us keep the communities
informed about the status of our
exploration plans and activities, and
to get their feedback and questions,
something we’ve been doing since
the offshore licenses were acquired
in 2007 and 2008," stated senior
media advisor Pius Rolheiser in an
e-mail.
There will be no formal agenda
for the meeting, which will be held
at Ingamo Hall starting at 5:30 p.m.
New course offered
The Aurora campus is offering a
two-month course on early learning
and childcare.
The program is aimed at anyone
interested in pursuing childcare as
a career, whether it be in a childcare
centre, head start program, day home
or something similar.
The course will focus on child
development, safety, nutrition and
record keeping.
It will run from May 4 to June 19.
Road watch begins
With the weather turning
unseasonably warm, the watch is on
to determine how long the ice roads
to Aklavik and Tuktoyaktuk will last.
The ice road at Inuvik was still
in use but had turned to a soupy
mess by April 20. That prompted a
warning about slippery conditions
for motorists.
The NWT Department of Transportation is warning of potentially difficult conditions otherwise,
including overflows.
The road closed in late April in
2014, and during the first week of
May in 2013.

information session held by the Environmental Impact Review Board April 14.
Review board talks
offshore drilling
A few pointed questions at Ingamo Hall information session
by Shawn Giilck
Northern News Services
There seemed to be little public
interest in the prospect of offshore
drilling during an information session at the Ingamo Hall Friendship
Centre in Inuvik April 14.
While about 25 people attended
the meeting, the vast majority were
government-related employees.
Only a handful or so of the audience were members of the general
public.
The meeting was held as part of
the latest series of public forums by
the Environmental Impact Review
Board's work on offshore drilling in
the Beaufort Sea north of Tuktoyaktuk several years from now. The
board is visiting each of the communities in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region to discuss the issue.
The meetings are designed to
gather community input to form
eventual terms of reference for
Imperial Oil's environmental
impact statement.
Duane Smith, the chair of
the Inuvik Community Corporation, was the main critic at
the meeting. As with a meeting
on the GNWT's fracking regulations the week before, Smith
asked a series of questions of the

The EIRB will have its terms

Jon Pierce, the head of the EIRB,
responded to Smith's questions.
"2020 is coming up pretty fast,"
he said.
The terms of the lease would

told Smith.
As for the membership on the
board, Pierce said the proposed
project was a "very sophisticated"
undertaking that members had been
working on learning the details of
for 18 months. That learning process will continue.
"We recognize we need some
continuity on the board, because
it's hard to replace that," he said.
"We've had four appointments in
2014, so we're making a case to

As for the worst case scenario of
needing a relief well, Pierce said the
EIRB will be subject to the decision
of the National Energy Board on the
matter, although it won't wait for its
input to be put into its own report.
"You're right, it would be very
difficult for us otherwise," he told
Smith.

Max Friesen of the University of Toronto spoke at the Aurora Research Institute

said.
NWT funding process under review
Deputy minister tells council that formula wasn't effective
by Shawn Giilck
Northern News Services
No one could blame Inuvik town
council members if they had told
a senior government bureaucrat to
show them the money earlier this
month.
Eleanor Young, the assistant deputy minister of the Department of
Municipal and Community Affairs,
(MACA) provided an hour-long
update on potential changes in the
funding formulas the GNWT uses to
distribute funds to territorial municipalities.
Many of those municipalities,
including Inuvik, have been receiving
less funding than they should have
under the current formula, Young
told the council, who expressed no
surprise.
Other communities, although a
minority, have been receiving more
funding, and will likely be cut back
somewhat.
Young said a full review of the
funding formulas hadn't been done by
the GNWT since the "new deal" was
struck in 2007.
"One of the big reasons being was
that when we spoke to stakeholders
a few years ago, they really felt it
needed to be taking place at a time
when we had some likelihood that
we had additional resources to be
put into the pot," she said during the
presentation. "We needed to have an
overall increase to the pots to make
this reasonable. The sense was that,
overall, the amount of funding we
were supplying wasn't enough."
Young said municipalities had
been telling the GNWT that the current funding formulas just weren't
adequate to serve their needs. She
said the government had never looked
at funding the municipalities on the
basis of their needs.
Municipal leaders had also been
telling the GNWT the formulas didn't
result in an "equitable distribution"
between communities."
"There was a perception that some
of the smaller communities had more
funding than they needed to do some
of the same services."
The formulas were also very difficult to explain to municipal councils
and staff, and the GNWT wanted to
remedy that, Young said. She called it
a frustrating process to sit down with
municipalities to discuss funding.
The review of the formula began
in 2013, and has continued since
with a working group that saw 17
communities represented, along with
MACA officials.
The shortfall of funding adds up
to a total of $40 million every year
for municipalities such as Inuvik,
Young said. For some, that makes it
difficult to provide basic services and
to maintain them, she added.
"We've tried very hard to come up
with the best solution," Young said.
There were relatively few questions from the council members, who
planned to discuss the report further
at a future meeting.
Councillor Alana Mero asked why
some infrastructure had been left out
of the report.
Young explained that only infrastructure common to all municipalities had been included in the calculations. Other infrastructure and
services, Young said, using the Inuvik
Homeless Shelter as an example, had
been left out so that communities
could be evaluated on a common
basis.
"For fairness across communities
there were certain types of infrastructure that were left out with the understanding that those could be paid for
out of your own source revenue."
She added that allocating funds
under the new formula are flexible,
and can be adjusted by each individual council.
Councillor Joe Lavoie asked
whether a cost of living index was
included in the new formula, and
Young said provisions for that had
been factored in.
Mayor Floyd Roland said "there
was a lot of material to go through."
"It's not clear where some of this
funding is going to come from," he
added. "The expectation of more
funds is going to be a challenging
exercise (to manage)."
"There's only limited places where
that funding can come from," Young
agreed.

Students look at
weather science
Weather balloon launched at school by research institute
by Shawn Giilck
Northern News Services
Students at East Three
School and public observers
were blown away April 20 as
the Aurora Research Institute
launched a weather balloon
into the atmosphere loaded
with electronic sensors.
Students from both wings
of the school waited with
anticipation while the sensor
array was fastened to the balloon, which was then filled
with helium.
As wind gusted over the
school, Matthew Dare of the
institute warned all present
that the direction of the balloon could be unpredictable.
"We want everyone to stand
back so they don't get hit in the
face by the box," he cautioned.
"And if it comes at you, don't
grab it."
Fortunately, the warnings
were not needed because the
balloon took to the sky with
remarkable speed and was
lost from sight within min-
utes while dozens of spectators
cheered.
Dare explained the launch
was part of the Science Rendezvous program, which sponsors the national Canada-wide
Experiment annually on May
9.
"As part of that this year,
the University of Regina has
started the Sea-to-Sea and
Surface to Air program this

these kits for us to launch into
the air. It's something that's
happening all over the world,
actually, and there's quite a
few all over Canada that are
all being launched in the same
time period, late April.
"What we have on board is
a high-definition camera and a
whole bunch of sensors. We'll
be able to plot that date if we
get it back, and there's a SPOT
device that should be able to
guide us to it."
Dare said predictions indicated the balloon, which was

Getting ready
for spring
Aklavik
The ice road is still open in Aklavik but not for long.
As a result, residents are busy getting in last-minute supplies from Inuvik before the spring thaw.
This weekend spring activities really get off the ground
with the annual kiddie carnival promising lots of games and
activities for young and old.
There are more than $6,000 prizes to be won, including
iPads. Fundraising has continued leading up to the event with
approximately three hours,
would land at last 30 km away
from Inuvik. More likely, it
would touch down in the Norman Wells area or even the
Yukon.
"It's going to be a trick to
find it," he said. "But hopefully
we'll have very accurate coordinates to be able to go out
and pick it up."
That retrieval is likely to
be done by snowmobile, Dare
added with a smile.
He said it would be a "fun
field trip" to track it down.
"If it comes down somewhere relatively close we
might try to retrieve it tonight,"
he said.
If the array lands somewhere particularly inaccessible, it will be retrieved in the
summer, Dare said.
Along with whatever data
the sensor array can provide,
the project was an excellent
way to introduce students
to real science that went far
beyond the basics and engaged
their imagination, Dare said.
"It's detailed atmospheric
monitoring that we're carrying out here," he said. "Hopefully we'll be able to do
a little data analysis and
bring that all back for May 9,
but we might not have it by
then."
Deklen Crocker and Fletcher Dares, Matthew's son, were
among the students working
on the project. Both are members of the Inuvik Robotics
Club, which assisted in preparing the sensor box.
The two boys had spent
about a half-hour putting the
finishing touches on the sensor
array, and had been involved
in planning the project from
the start.
Fletcher said his ambition is
to become an astronaut eventually, and found the experience
valuable for that ambition.
"This is part of what you
do," he said.
Deklen said he was interested in pursuing computer
luncheons, raffles and cake walks.

Crafters bead to perfection
WORKSHOP
Feature
by Shawn Giilck
Northern News Services
More than a dozen women
spent most of the week from
April 14 to 17 taking in a
free course on traditional
bead work at Aurora College
through the Caribou Outreach Learning Centre.
"We have people of
Gwich’in, Saudi Arabian,
Ethiopian,
Bangladeshi,
Japanese, English and Canadian ancestry in our class,"
said Jennifer Rafferty, the
course instructor. "I'd like the
community to be aware of
how diverse the population
that comes to the Caribou
Outreach Learning Centre
is."
All of the participants
praised the course and
Rafferty's instruction.
Beading is a very popular pastime in Inuvik, and
the demand for courses and
instruction usually far outstrips demand.
Jennifer Rafferty, who was teaching the course on bead work, was happy to show her beadings April 16.
She was affectionately being called "Queen Bead" by her eager students.
Rania Alshareef looks pleased with her progress.
Raygan Solotki was all smiles as she surveyed
her handiwork during a four-day course at Aurora
College.
Tanya Badgley was enjoying the lessons she had
learned during a four-day course at Aurora College.
Samantha Kerr was one of the group she laughingly called "the beading babes." She said it took
course leader Jennifer Rafferty no more than four
minutes to straighten out some of the problems
she'd been having with her technique.

'It was probably the best trip of my life'

Seven students from East Three Secondary School spent a week in Ottawa recently as part of the Encounters With Canada program including, front row, left,
Chantal Grey, Kyla Hvatum and Nina Verbonac, second row, left, Colin Pybus, the physical education teacher at East Three, Jackson Christie and Johnny Charlie and,

Encounters With Canada program organized trip to Ottawa
by Shawn Giilck
Northern News Services
A group of seven high
school students has returned
from a week-long trip to
Ottawa with a fresh perspective on their region and a lifetime of memories.
The students, led by East
Three Secondary School
physical education teacher
Colin Pybus, were participating in the Encounters With
Canada program.
"The encounters program
has been in operation for 30
years, and the week before we
got there, they had run through
their 100,000th participant.
They bring up to 150 students
from across Canada to Ottawa
for a week to participate in
cultural and citizenship components. They augment that
with various theme weeks,"
Pybus said. "We went for the
sports, fitness and leadership
week, which is pertinent to
my job.
"The students were chosen
from the high school body,
and had all shown excellence
in physical education and were
high academic performers and
had good attendance," he said.
"Those were some of the precursors for selection."
The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs
supplied a $4,000 grant to the
students, Pybus said, and they
also did fundraising.
As well, they were asked
to pay a small part of the
expenses of the trip.
The group attended a minor
hockey game, had a tour of
Parliament, and attended various workshops and forums
relating to sport, recreation
and leadership.
"There was a wide, wide
variety of opportunities for
them," he said. "They also
took a citizenship module, and
former Olympian Francois
Ouellette was a guest speaker."
Jackson Christie was one
of the students on the trip. He
said several things left a major
impression on him.
"It was probably the best
trip of my life," Christie said.
"We all became a family, and
it was pretty hard to leave at
the end."
"All of it was pretty much
cool. The sports, the education
modules, and we got to tour
museums and Parliament."
Nina Verbonac said she
was amazed at the chance to
"meet all of the people from
all around Canada."
"I had heard other students
(who had done the trip) say
that they had a lot of fun and
had met a lot of people," she
said.
"They learned a lot of new
sports, so I wanted to try it out
for myself."
Chantal Grey said "I loved
the book camp that we did.
And I liked the talent show at
the end."
She first heard about the
Encounters program while she
was in Grade 9, and made
plans from there to try to
attend.
"I loved the chance to just
go down to Ottawa and enjoy
the experience," said Davey
Inglangasuk. "It was great
meeting a lot of people from
all over Canada. I'd recommend it to anyone."
Pybus himself took part in
the program as a high school
student in the late-1990s, and
the experience left an indelible
mark on him.
"It was a program that
I hold very close to my
heart for the experiences
I had," he said.
"I made friends that benefitted me going forward, and
it probably was one of the first
steps in me becoming a physed teacher. I see a huge value
in it for our students. One, just
to travel to Ottawa and see
the sights and sounds of the
nation's capital, for such an
inexpensive cost, is fantastic.
I think it's beyond beneficial
for them to experience just
the youth of Canada and the
regional cultures."

Read the signs that boy's not interested
I’m a girl, 17, and I have known this guy my whole life.
The boy I’m talking about is dealing with a lot right now.
Four months ago his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer
and recently started treatment.
We were church friends until last summer when we
worked at camp together. As you can guess, I developed
feelings for him. We suspected it would happen, but I never
made my feelings clear because he told me he didn’t want
that and I didn’t want to get hurt.
The more I kept it a secret the more hurt I got, especially
since one of my best friends was becoming close to him.
I was so stressed, after five months I told him the truth.
He told me he knew. I was hurt he didn’t confront me about
it because I thought we had more trust than that.
He doesn’t believe this is a big deal and doesn’t appreciate that I put him in this position because he already made it
clear he doesn’t like me that way. I was so hurt and confused
I didn’t attend church for two months.
Recently I started going back, and he’s noticed I don’t
look him in the eye. Since my return, we’ve had numerous
texting conversations. In the first I apologized for everything. The rest were to see how he was or him texting me
stupid questions. Who did you sit with at the hockey game?
Are you having people over this weekend?
Once, after I yet again apologized, he freaked out and
said he was tired of me making him feel guilty and trying to
change his feelings.
But I’m still hurt he doesn’t like me, isn’t too concerned
about being friends again and is so close with my best
friend. I’m trying desperately to fix this and he doesn’t even
care.
Now I don’t want to make him out to be a bad guy, after
all he’s got a lot on his plate right now, even if that’s no
excuse.
You may say I need to let it all go. And in most cases
you’re right, but this is someone I have to see once or twice
a week. We have a lot of friends in common. I can’t just shut
him out or act like it’s no big deal.
I can tell whenever it’s brought up, it causes him grief,
and he doesn’t want to discuss it further. How do I fix this?
Hanna
Hanna, a few days ago Tamara showed me a YouTube
video of horses clustered on a grassy hilltop in the mountains.
A mountain biker, a grown man, brazenly moves toward
one horse, who seems to be standing guard over the others.
This horse doesn't care for the man’s advance. As the man
draws nearer, it swishes its tail back and forth. Yet the man
doesn’t break stride, even when the horse puts its ears flat
against its head.
As the horse goes stiff-legged, its entire body rigid, the
man walks closer and holds out his hand to touch the horse’s
muzzle. In a flash the horse bites the man's arm, breaking
the flesh but not the bone. The man retreats in pain.
Three times the horse signaled Do Not Advance. Three
times the man ignored him. Does this situation sound familiar?
This boy wants you as a friend. He thinks despite your

feelings, you will stop coming on to him. He wants things to
be the way they should be once someone tells another no.
And somehow you think he is the inconsiderate one.
A bad guy would trifle with you and take advantage of
your crush. Be glad he isn't that kind of guy.
Be patient. Someday you’ll find a man who shares your
feelings, a man who won’t put his ears back at your advance.

KIERSTEN ROGERS

Kiersten was rather modest about being picked as student of the week.
Val Robertson, the school secretary, though, was more than eager to
jump into the gap.
"She's a very good student," Robertson gushed.
Kiersten said writing is turning into one of her favourite classes.

Slow start
to fishing
challenge
Derby huge hit
with more than 100 anglers
vying for prizes
by Shawn Giilck
Northern News Services
Shawn Giilck/NNSL photos
Amanda Park and Bobby-Lynn McAllister were obviously enjoying the fishing
and the sunshine during the Arctic Ice Fishing Challenge on April 15.
The inaugural Ice Fishing Challenge might have
attracted far more anglers
than fish, but that didn't spoil
a good time had by all.
There's an long-standing
aphorism that says "the fishing is always good, even if the
catching is bad." It looked as
if the 100 or so anglers out for
the derby on the evening of
April 15 were subscribing to
that notion because the catching was fairly slow, with only
five fish caught.
They were all Northern
pike, or jackfish, with the
biggest around the three-foot
(one-metre) mark.
Kara Skiffington would
take the top prize with a pike
around the three-foot (onemetre) mark.
"I go fishing here all the
time," she said. "But you
should see the jackfish you
can catch some other times of
the year... I could use this one
for bait."
She said her grandmother
owns a nearby camp, and that
was why she was so familiar
with the site and its fishing.
"I've been coming here for
28 years," she said with a
smile.
The site was the East
Channel at Airport Creek,
about seven kilometres outside of town.
Onida Banksland said she
was hoping to hook a passing coney or jackfish, and
had her eye on some of the
prizes, which included a
45-gallon drum of fuel.
"It's a beautiful day to be
out, and my son really loves
fishing. Every spring we go to
Husky Lakes for our annual
spring harvest, before the
geese come, and that's all we
do, fish all day long.
"We saw this derby was
on, so we never ate supper,
we just grabbed our gear and
came out. We're hoping to
have some luck."
Banksland called the
derby a "good family event."
"Just look at all the families here. It's something different, and it's during the
week, which is fine."
Shelly Hendrick said "fishing is what I do, all the time.
"I wanted to come out and
fish and enjoy the nice weather. I'm looking forward to the
spring, and this is about my
favourite time of the year."
Like most of the other
anglers, she was after jackfish, and possibly some
whitefish and coney.
Jay Blakeston pitched the
challenge derby to the Children First Society as a fundraiser, and then did most of
the organizing.
"I've been up here for
about three years and I
noticed that something like (a
derby) didn't seem to happen
in the area," he said. "I moved
up from northern Manitoba,
and this is commonplace in
the spring and later winter
for the communities to have
fishing derbies. So I thought
this would be an opportunity to have an event for the
community, and it's something that's sort of natural to
everyone."
Northwind Industries Ltd.
cleared the site of snow and
ploughed out a parking area,
Blakeston said.
They also pre-drilled some
of the holes, while Blakeston
finished the day of the derby.
Part of the appeal of the
derby was that it allowed
people who didn't have all
the necessary equipment ta
chance to participate.
"We wanted to make it as
easy as possible for people to
attend for people who might
not have the gear," Blakeston
said.
The water was less than
10-feet deep, which also simplified gear requirements,
and the society was selling
traditional jiggling sticks, as
well as providing snacks.
An hour into the tournament, only one fish had been
caught. That was a jackfish
measuring just under 63
centimetres, pulled out by
John Dempster.
Another had been lost at
the hole by a second angler a
few minutes before.
Blakeston laughed at the
suggestion that it might be
"the first fish wins it all.
"We'll see, but hopefully
not," he added. "This is why
it's called fishing, not catching."
The remainder of the fish
were caught in flurries of
activity, with Mae Cockney
catching a decent-sized pike
just as the horn sounded.
SPORTS CARD
HOCKEY
John Dempster had the first fish caught in the Arctic Ice Fishing Challenge
derby on April 15 with this average-sized Northern pike.
TYREN KISOUN
AGE: 10
GRADE: 5
Tyren is a multi-sport dynamo, although
his favourite activity is likely hockey.
He plays a plethora of other sports,
including baseball, basketball and soccer.
His athletic talent shows through in other
areas as well. He's a champion traditional
dancer in his spare time.
