Evaloakjuk and Kaviok are reprising their roles for a second run of the play, currently being rehearsed in Arviat. Looking down the road Arviat director wants to take play to different communities by Darrell Greer Northern News Services Arviat The youthful Arviat Drama Club is reviving a play it did four years ago to keep hammering away at the plague we know as suicide. And, if things were to fall in place for the troupe, they just might get the chance to take The Bright Blue Mailbox Suicide Note on the road in 2016. Director Gord Billard has been wanting to take one of the club's productions to another community for a number of years. Billard said the cast is currently rehearsing the play, which will see Andy Evaloakjuk and Ramon Kaviok reprise the roles of Moe and Ken, respectively, they played in 2011. He said usually, however, he selects the roles for the cast members as the rehearsals go along. "Certain students will tell me they're interested in a role and they'll start reading for it," said Billard. "And, if they stick with it and keep coming to rehearsals, they usually end up with that role. "I don't have someone in mind to fill every role this time around, but I'd say we're about 70 to 80 per cent there. "We're getting a good turnout at rehearsals and it's starting to look like we're going to have a good cast for this production." "It's important to me – and Billard said the rehearsals are a combination of experi- the kids too, I think – that if enced actors and those new to we're going to take a play on the road, we want to go with the stage.

However, every hamlet has that features a cast of nine its own policy on what groups main characters.

"We're also going to look suicide, resonates with people at other funding sources to see everywhere. Price's work has been if we can raise enough money to take it on the road," said performed across North America at various levels, Billard. "We couldn't find a source of cash to be able to do it." including the Arizona State Thespian Festival. Billard said if this season's production proves to be a success, he would hope to take it on the road the following school year with the same cast. He said the play is "pretty fresh" with most of the cast, who weren't involved with its 2011 production. "Apart from bringing the message abroad, the experience of bringing the show to another community, acting it on a new stage, and having to adapt and adjust to the differences that will occur is an education in itself in learning how to reproduce a show elsewhere that you've done in Arviat. "That's a valuable skill for an actor to learn and we rarely have the opportunity to do it up here. "Since we have no Arts Nunavut to help fund our initiatives, I often think Sports Nunavut should cater to the one or two little arts outfits we have to allow the drama team to go off and showcase their talents and spread an important message that needs to be heard. "If I was offered the opportunity of a year off to take this play to every community in Nunavut, I'd jump at the chance because it's a great vehicle for getting people to talk about a problem that's rampant up here." bf l A āqmx3 m4WZz 8 4 KIVALLIQ NEWS, Wednesday, March 25, 2015 community r?9o3u iWK5, WzJx8i, · 25, 2015 ¦ uq5Rs;5q ,sq{5_,ā;9āuiqsGBq_b,kR>YPs;5 uR75K,5#_@%G@dā;Do@VTqā@ ā5;\G2MLā9Q,0 20@0Tq5K20@Gd55K,5#_@uL22M^;āGqU5;o@VTq20@iāYI sq{5_, 005qq#>qD@%VP>qsb6Y06q>o@VTqL%^2RqI'qR;āqU5;GK_:ā.kBhfq@ā9q ]āT;5BCq20@b;GK_: photo courtesy of Noel Kaludjak LEAGUE CHAMPS!

The lure of soda Annual Drop The Pop campaign faces uphill battle by Darrell Greer Northern News Services Arviat Arnalukjuak High School (JAHS) applied a slightly different approach in making the annual Drop The Pop campaign a successful one in Arviat earlier this month. JAHS teacher Courtney Cribb co-organized the activities, and said keeping youths away from soft drinks is a tough sell. She said the Government of Nunavut sent manuals to help with the annual promotion this year. "The manuals had suggestions for student activities; things teachers could do in the classroom and others to do as a school," said Cribb. "We used some of those, and came up with others ourselves, to plan an activity for each day of the week, including sliding and skating. "The whole purpose, of COFFEE Break course, is to challenge students to drop the pop, and that's probably the hardest thing to try and get them to do. "We only had 10 or 11 students sign-up to say they were actually going to try to drop the pop during the week." Cribb said the vast majority of students have no interest in not drinking pop for a week. She said that led the school to host activities to show them what they're putting into their bodies when they drink pop and energy drinks.

"We're trying to teach them to make healthier choices and to under- stand what they're drinking because we have students who drink four or five cans of pop a day. "Since we didn't get many kids to participate, we put more of a focus on eating healthy, being involved with physical activity and just trying to adopt a healthier lifestyle. "In addition to our activity days and some games we held, we hosted a healthy breakfast one morning, passed out muffins some of the teacher par- ticipants made during the breaks on another day and demonstrated during an assembly the amount of sugar and caffeine in pop and energy drinks and how bad they are for those who drink them. "The worst part is, you know many of the students aren't going to listen and they're going to keep drinking pop, so we hope a few of them will get the message and, at least, cut down on the amount they drink."

Steve Watton Rankin Inlet MLA for Rankin Inlet North and Chesterfield Inlet Tom Sammurtok shared his concern with the minister responsible for Nunavut Arctic College, Paul Quassa, about adult students not receiving support from program staff. "In fact, (some) are made to feel so unwelcome that they return home without finishing their courses," said Sammurtok. "Can the minister describe what steps are taken to ensure students are made to feel welcome at Nunavut Arctic College and what support is provided to students to ensure that they stay and finish their programs?" Quassa said there are policies in place on how students should be treated and what support services should be provided. "I haven't heard anything about a student returning home without finishing their course because of their treatment," said Quassa. "If any student has any problems with their instructor, they are told to immediately notify the senior management and they are taken care of right away." Safe and sound Chesterfield Inlet Rankin Inlet and Chesterfield Inlet search-and-rescue members found Trevor Autut on March 18, after he spent five days on the land when his snowmobile ran out of gas. Autut, 23, spend the first two nights in a makeshift shelter and the rest of the time between three cabins, the third of which was fully stocked. Autut had left Chesterfield Inlet on his way to Rankin on March 13 to participate in the annual First Air Avataq Cup senior men's hockey tournament. He took the wrong trail for awhile and, by the time he got straightened out and back on track for Rankin, he ran out of gas before reaching the community. Autut was about 15 miles away from Rankin when he was rescued by his cousin, Tittaq Komaksiutiksak. He was unhurt in the ordeal.

KIVALLIQ NEWS, Wednesday, March 25, 2015 news mƬ¦k°z r?9o3u iWK5, WzJx8i, · 25, 2015 7 Uranium project public hearings finishing Review board decision for potential Kiggavik mine project expected in late April by Michele LeTourneau Northern News Services Baker Lake The future of several potential Kiggavik uranium mines is now in the hands of the Nunavut Impact Review Board after public hearings regarding the project wrapped up in Baker Lake last week. The board will likely not make its final ruling before the end of April but the hearings, which sought input on Areva Resources Canada Inc.'s final environmental impact statement for the Kiggavik project are already being hailed as productive and satisfactory. Despite the Baker Lake Hunters and Trappers Organization's (HTO) motion to suspend the hearing on the first day, chair Richard Aksawnee says the hearings, which took place March 3 to 14 in Baker Lake, were a success. "I think we made it clear where we stand, as far as our terms and conditions if the project were to proceed with a project certificate," said Aksawnee. "We're not against the proposed Kiggavik mine, we just want to make sure our land and wildlife are protected for our hunters." Areva's proposal would see one underground and four open-pit mines about 80 kilometres west of Baker Lake, between caribou calving grounds and the Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary. Aksawnee said the project's lack of a start date remains a concern. "We're glad we were able to be part of the process," he said. "We feel the HTO is supported by other organizations and interveners." Areva's manager of Nunavut affairs, Barry McCallum said his company is satisfied the hearing went very well. He said the meetings were well attended, inclusive, and respectful. "There was an excellent discussion of many aspects of the proposed project," said McCallum. "The nuclear industry, like most industries, is subject to highs and lows and we are currently in an industry low time. "Areva's financial status is part of this. Looking ahead, nuclear power is expected to be a major contributor to base load power generation for the foreseeable future. "Currently, 60 per cent of the world's people live in countries with nuclear generated electricity." McCallum said the com- 57`*ā5 ÿu7m3 kāLGm .Lo 57<u*ā3 .ÿ97[.

The Nunavut Impact Review Board's public hearing into Areva Resources Canada Inc.'s proposed Kiggavik uranium project near Baker Lake drew a large crowd to the community hall earlier this month. prehensive assessment carried out concludes that ecosystem integrity will be maintained and the land-based economy not uncompromised by the proposed Kiggavik project. He said the Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary is located about 100 km to the west of the proposed project. "It is upstream and upwind of the project, with no project-environment interactions near it." "The final environmental impact statement assessed the project and cumulative effects of the proposed Kiggavik project on caribou, and concluded there would be no significant effects." The Municipality of Baker Lake attempted to keep the record open for further submissions, as the community appears to still be divided, but board chair Elizabeth Copland announced the record closed. With the record closed, NIRB staff and members were instructed not to answer media questions related to the file. The board committed to preparing its report and associated recommendations within 45 days from the close of the hearing record. At that time the report and recommendations will be submitted directly to federal Minister of Northern Development Bernard Valcourt and other responsible government ministers. They have the option of accepting, altering or rejecting the board's submission. "If the board determines the Kiggavik project should be allowed to proceed, the board would also recommend terms and conditions to be included in a project certificate that would, in the board's view, be required to appropriately manage and mitigate the potential socio-economic and ecosystemic effects of the proposed project," said Copland. 7uIā, T]y5_b Kq 79>y,7LTRq 5Bq kāLGm .Lo Wk3m '%^u* āPYu3[^<qN.N, ÿE<<m ÿ> ù`3Go *E '%^u* 5qEÿ3 āPY[3[^<qN.N ÿE.<āWā3<m 57`*ā5 ÿu7m3 kāLGm5 57<u*ā3 .@āmB>!

The three-day storm packed consistent winds of 90 km/h, with gusts going from 110 to near 120 km/h at times. Jason Todd said Rankin Inlet has been hit with longer blizzards but he doesn't remember any with winds as harsh as this one for a long, long time. He said there was absolute zero visibility at the height of the storm and he couldn't believe how vicious the blizzard proved to be. "It, literally, shook my house to the point where I honestly thought the roof was going to come off," said Todd. "Normally I will go out during a blizzard but I didn't step outside for three days in this one. "We've had some bad storms during the past 10 years, but this one was unreal." Todd said the community dealt with the blizzard as best it could. He said every blizzard is different but people always need to have heat, food, water and power to get through them OK. "I lost power a few times, but you learn to have a flashlight, candles, that kind of stuff, available. "This was a bad storm, and I don't think too many people tried to go outside during the first or second day. "On a scale of 10, I would rate this blizzard as an eight or 8.5. "It was nothing to mess with and I'm just glad everyone came through it unharmed." Darrin Nichol said the blizzard was definitely a dangerous storm. He said he had a feeling of apprehension earlier in the day before the blizzard struck because of the strange way events were playing out. "It was so mild earlier in the day, we had freezing rain that, for a little while, might even have been just rain," said Nichol. "Then the fresh snow started falling and, knowing Baker Lake was already being pounded, I just knew we were in for a bad one. "This was the worst we've had in at least the past 15 years, I'd say. "It was really intense for three days and it just didn't abate at all." Nichol said he lost power at his house a couple of times during the storm, and things got a little tense among his wife and three kids. He said the big story is Community and Government Services, the Nunavut Power Corp. and the hamlet keeping everything going through a very bad blizzard. "I remember the '97 fall storm and a couple of other ones that were worse than this. "But I'd say this was the worst my kids (two aged 19 and one 17) remember. "I didn't really have any worries about my house, because it's been around a long time and seen its share of storms. "Anyone who was here for this storm, or any of the other communities that got hit, is going to remember it for a while, that's for certain."

So happy you were able to dig your way out after that huge blizzard. Wow! That was a big one with lots of snow and really heavy winds. A huge thank you to all those who came out to help their neighbours and friends dig out. Thank you to Henry Kaput, Albert Aokout and Silu Autut for coming over and digging us out. Like many others here in Rankin, our door opens out. The snow had piled up as high as the doorknob and we couldn't push it hard enough to even budge it. The snow in our porch was above shoulder height, so the guys had to slide in through a small opening and start digging out. I'm sure there are many stories about the effects of the blizzard and how folks dug out or managed their households through it. Some had a house full of guests who were stranded, while others just planned to stay with their family to be supportive and help out. Thanks to you all for doing your best to get through those three rough days. Also, a huge thanks to the hamlet road crew for getting out, clearing the roads and working those many hours to keep emergency access available on major routes. We really appreciate all your hard work. Thank you so much. Thank you, as well, to the search-and rescue volunteers who never gave up and kept searching for Trevor Autut of Chesterfield Inlet. Trevor went missing at the very beginning of the blizzard. We all join his family and loved ones in giving thank that he was found safely on Wednesday, March 18. Trevor was found near Willie Adams's cabin and, although very tired, he was in good spirits when the searchers located him. We celebrate his safety! Well, the First Air Avataq Cup senior men's hockey tournament was concluded on Wednesday, March 18, after being postponed due to the blizzard that hit us hard on March 15 and continued to pound us until March 17. The bronze medal and gold medal were played on Wednesday night. Be sure to check out the details of the tournament in another section of this week's edition. A good job was done by all the teams, and thanks for the great commentating on the radio by David Ningeongan. Congratulations to Vinnie and Charlotte Karetak on the birth of their baby boy on March 13. A beautiful little guy we're all looking forward to meeting. We can tell by some of the pictures already, that he's going to be a snappy dresser. God bless you all. Welcome back to Rankin Inlet for a short visit going out to Amber Irwin. Her father, cousins, aunts and uncles are thrilled she's here to enjoy some family time.

Until next time, please be good to yourself and those you love, and remember to keep giving away those smiles like they were free!! KIVALLIQ NEWS, Wednesday, March 25, 2015 sports & recreation r?9o3u iWK5, WzJx8i, · 25, 2015 13 ÐtÝfÐkÙf²ÏÖ Naujaat takes Avataq in overtime Nip Miners 4-3 in memorable championship game by Darrell Greer Northern News Services Rankin Inlet/Repulse Bay Repulse Bay (Naujaat) nipped the Rankin Miners 4-3 in overtime to claim the First Air Avataq Cup in front of a large, enthusiastic crowd on March 18. The game was one of the most exciting finals ever played at the event, and the first time the championship was decided in overtime. The tilt was decided when Jeff Siusangnark chipped the puck past a pinching Miners defenceman, raced down the right wing and blasted a shot top corner to the stick side past Miners goalie James Merritt at 14:13 of the overtime session. Naujaat was playing shorthanded at the time, with star defenceman Aaron Kopak off for tripping. The Huka Inuks defeated Coral Harbour 11-4 to claim bronze. The final two games had to be rescheduled from March 15 to March 18, due to a severe blizzard. Also competing at the First Air Avataq Cup were host teams the Sea Dogs, Rubber Puckies and Team Todd, along with Chesterfield Inlet, Whale Cove and Baker Lake. Commissioner Justin Merritt said the tournament went exceptionally well except for the weather delay. He said he didn't receive a single complaint during the event. "You can't ask for a better ending to a tournament than that championship game," said Merritt. "It was the best rec hockey final I've ever seen. "We can only fit so many into our arena, and for those who couldn't attend the game, for whatever reason, they were really enthralled listening to it on radio. "David Ningeongan did a fantastic job announcing a tremendously exciting game." Merritt said, in his opinion, any one of Naujaat, the Miners and Huka Inuks could have won the Avataq. He said Naujaat got past both Huka and the Miners due to the fantastic goaltending of Joe Jr. Kaludjak. "Junior stole the tournament in my opinion. "He was fantastic in the final and even better in the semifinal against Huka. "I haven't seen him play that good in a few years, but he sure came through for Repulse when it mattered. "Being from Rankin, he seemed really motivated against those teams." Merritt said in order for the tournament to get better, more quality teams have to be attracted or the executive should look at allowing fewer teams to enter. He said this year's event would have been more competitive had defending champs Iqaluit and Arviat been able to compete. "I'd hate to see it go down in teams, really, because many consider it a regional event, and you wouldn't want to see communities like Chester, Baker and even Whale Cove not participate. "I think the key is to have two divisions so the games during the round robin are more competitive and mean more in whether a team makes the playoffs. "I would suggest two fiveteam divisions with the best five teams on paper in the A Division. "The top four in that division would make the playoffs – with first and second getting a first-round bye – and the top two teams in the B Division would get in and then play teams three and four of the A Division in crossover games." Kaludjak, who won both the tournament's Best Goalie and Most Valuable Player awards, said this was one of the sweetest victories of his career, that the tournament went well, and both the semifinal and final could have gone either way. "Both those games were anybody's game to win," said Kaludjak. "Being from Rankin, I was pumped to beat Rankin's top two teams and win the Avataq. "I played in the Avataq with Whale Cove a few years ago, but it was different playing with Repulse. "Those guys play hard all the time – every game, all the way – and they never stop moving their legs or give up on a game." Kaludjak said he can't describe the happiness he felt when the winning goal went in. "It was such a good game and the crowd was so awesome – I was having so much fun out there. ÿāY9 m 3PāNm GRLLbā3s5 ÿ<UPāN* eÿ*I * ..3 ÿE<B># aIÿā bm s3 #ù@āmB>! em 93mB>! omv3[* /L * Darrell Greer/NNSL photo Aaron Kopak accepts the Best Defenceman award from Hamish Tatty at the conclusion of the First Air Avataq Cup senior men's hockey tourney in Rankin Inlet on March 18.

"Rankin has the number-one crowds in Nunavut because they really love hockey and they really get into the game.
