Go online to www.nnsl.com/kivalliqnews to vote in this week's poll. The poll question will be updated every Monday. 6 The past month has been pressure packed for one of the Kivalliq's more successful training programs. A two-year funding agreement with Employment and Social Development Canada was set to run out on the Kivalliq Mine Training Society (KMTS) on March 31. While it's still supported by Nunavut's Economic Development and Transportation, that's not enough for the society to continue its operations. An application has been filed with the federal government for a funding extension for the society. Executive director Ken Kerr said the society remains very optimistic the extension will be granted. He said the organization has a great plan for the next year, which has also been submitted to the feds. "At this point, we're just waiting for the phone to ring, but there's no way of knowing when, or if, they're going to approve it," said Kerr. "We've spent $6.96 million of what I would call new money for the region. "It wasn't from a previous program that anyone had entitlement to, but money the KTMS went out and got. "On top of that, we leveraged another $5 million in cash and in-kind contributions from Agnico Eagle, the hamlets and local employers."

"Some models worked better than others, but the Coral group is one example of a great success we had with a smaller community." The society put 24 people through the college's pretrades program, with 18 passing their trade-entry exam. Morrison said Chris Meeko was supporting a family of three on a convenience-store salary before taking the pre-trades program. Meeko's now working in Rankin as an electrician's apprentice. "Having him go from working part time in a convenience store to being an apprentice in the trade he wanted is a great success for us," said Morrison. "The support we received from the communities, and the partnerships we created with local employers, were a huge accomplishment for us. "Being a former economic development officer with the Hamlet of Rankin Inlet helped me to develop relationships around the region. "I took advantage of that, and we were able to train more people and offer more programming than we expected because of the partnerships we developed." bf l A Nù#.N m4WZz 7 community 4 KIVALLIQ NEWS, Wednesday, April 1, 2015 ¦ r?9o3u iWK5, WzJx8i, wSD 1, 2015 Tradition gets tested GU7 5P 53 Gā*3 UI 53 <m3 *āB ù* 0. 7G ,I H@Gāk@ām #V 0. 3 ÿ<93m3 ^ G0,mm ÿ<93[^s3 E7ÿ97[3 G7ā%3 kāLGW3 H@GākmùB>! ÿ'><&[Nu* 7EWùā@ām* Sabrina Tanuayk, back left, Natasha Mosbeck, back right, Trista Kukkiak, front left, and Camille Simik were the grade three and four winners at the Victor Sammurtok School Science Fair in Chesterfield Inlet this past week. photo courtesy of Glen Brocklebank Top science fair project compares sealskin rope to modern nylon by Darrell Greer Northern News Services Chesterfield Inlet Science lovers from the little school that can got their test tubes in under the wire before heading to Baker Lake this past weekend. Victor Sammurtok School (VSS) in Chesterfield Inlet held its science fair on March 23, just four days before the regional event in Baker. Louie Kukkiak and Qimmialuk Ipkarnerk went to the regional fair after having the top project in Chester, which compared sealskin rope to modern nylon rope. Delilah Issaluk took the second regional qualifier for her efforts on traditional sunglasses versus their modern counterparts. This year's fair at VSS saw 84 students enter projects, with kindergarten students entering two submissions, grades one to eight four each, grades nine and 10 entering eight and grades 11 and 12 doing six. Teacher Glen Brocklebank said the eight judges saw this year's entries as being better overall quality than in 2014. He said student confidence in their projects was high heading to the Kivalliq Regional Science Fair in Baker Lake from March 27 to 29 (final results were not known as of press time). "Our top two are traditional-based projects," said Brocklebank. "The winners interviewed nine elders on the use of sealskin rope and COFFEE Break tested it against nylon rope. "Our second-place finisher did Inuit Shades, which showed traditional snow goggles to actually be more effective than the majority of modern sunglasses she tested. "During her testing, Delilah (Issaluk) found four millimetres is the optimum size of the slit to block light." Students at VSS have done incredibly well at the regional fair over the years. So much so that the students take a great deal of pride in their school's performance at the event. Brocklebank said the competition at the Chester fair can be fierce. He said earning the right to represent VSS at the regional fair is still a big deal among the students. "Our students are proud we continually do so well at the regional fair. "We had all new students from the grade nine and 10 class qualify for this year's regional. "They set the bar fairly high for themselves, and were eager to qualify for a trip to the Canada-Wide Science Fair later in the year."

Darrell Greer/NNSL photo Demystifying the camp Coping program helps families deal with mining lifestyle by Darrell Greer Northern News Services Baker Lake/Kivalliq A group of mineworkers and their significant others are feeling better about their lifestyle after taking part in a program sponsored by the Kivalliq Mine Training Society (KMTS). The origin of the (Fly-in, Fly-out) Making It Work program was inspired by, and borrowed from, the Work Ready program developed by Baffinland Iron Mines Corp. for its Mary River project. Brubacher Development Strategies Inc. was contacted to help adapt the program to the needs of Kivalliq families after being involved with the Baffin project. Brubacher's Pamela Power took the lead role in the adaptation and delivery of the program, and said rather than AROUND Kivalliq with Darrell Greer reinvent the wheel, the Kivalliq adapted a program shown to be successful in the Baffin. She said her role in the Making It Work program was to bring it to fruition. "I worked on the course design and concept, brought all the pieces together, identified trained facilitators to deliver the program, worked with a facilitator on developing the content, and looked at how it could be delivered at-site at Agnico Eagle and how recruitment would take place," said Power. "The KMTS set-up a needs assessment, which came to a conclusion in June of 2014. "The needs assessment, essentially, showed families were struggling with the flyin, fly-out nature of mine work. "Having someone away half the time, while you're left Baker Lake SOUTHAMPTON ISLAND raising children and dealing with different issues, was a strain and a stress for a number of families." Power said the real gem of the program is that it's a chance for couples to take time from their busy lives, come together for three days at the mine site and take stock of their situation. She said it's a challenging lifestyle and couples need to look at what they want to get out of it. "Being at Meadowbank is a wonderful experience for the spouse who's never been there to see it and understand what their partner does. "The time helps them understand why their partner is tired when they come home, or why they, sometimes, can't call them after a shift. "The course content really gives couples the chance to talk together and sort things out. "Once they realize what their goals are, then we talk about how they get there by getting into the skills around communication, conflict resolution and money management, which all play into the experience they're having at the mine and getting some insight into what their partner does." The third program began this past Friday, bringing the total number of couples to have participated in Making It Work up to 17.

Power woes haunt comnunity Rankin Inlet A failed generator was the main culprit in a series of power outages in Rankin Inlet this past week. A number of Rankin businesses closed for the day on March 23 due to the power outages, as did the hamlet office. In addition to the failed generator, another was down for regular maintenance and was awaiting the arrival of a new Bowhead quota doubled Kivalliq The Kivalliq quota for bowhead whales was doubled to two this past Friday, from the one whale allowed the previous year. The quota increase was recommended by the Nunavut Wildlife Board and accepted by federal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Gail Shea. The additional bowhead will benefit the Kivalliq by supporting the traditional diet of beneficiaries, and allowing the various hunters and trappers organizations to further develop effective strategies for the utilization of the whale. Arctic Atoms tourney news Rankin Inlet/Whale Cove/Coral Harbour Young players from across the Kivalliq descended upon Rankin Inlet to take part in the annual Arctic Atoms hockey tournament this past weekend.

"The program gives them a plan and an opportunity to talk about what work needs to be done. "We don't tell them what they need to do, but, rather, they discover it through the program. "Then they leave with an idea of how to make things work for their family. "What surprised me, in terms of results, was how much of what they leaned in the program spread through the whole family." Power said people have reported that, since taking the course, they're doing monthly budgets, paying their bills on time and putting more food on the family table. She said the mine workers also report being more relaxed and comfortable since their spouse was at-site and now understands the work they do at Meadowbank. "The course is really welldesigned in that there are definite learning goals and skills being taught, but it's also designed to respond to what people want. "We've had participants come up to us and ask if they could talk about X, and we talked about X as well as Y and Z because nothing is off the table. "Absolutely everything is up for discussion, and if they want to talk about 'I think there's something going on here that I don't like,' then we talk about it. "That's the way it has to be for the program to be truly effective." Meanwhile, the community of Whale Cove hosted its annual Johnny Kook Memorial hockey tournament this past weekend, while Coral Harbour announced its annual Joseph Natakok Memorial senior men's hockey tournament had been rescheduled to April 16. Coral organizers are asking any teams interested in playing in the tournament to register their squad by April 10. Final results from both the Arctic Atoms in Rankin and the Johnny Kook in Whale were not known as of press time. Soccer tourney on the horizon Rankin Inlet The fourth annual Rankin Inlet adult soccer tournament has been scheduled for April 30 to May 3. Indoor soccer features five-on-five soccer with a goalie, and each team is allowed nine players on its roster. All players must be 19 years of age in order to participate.

Close call for community hall Old Rankin building dodges bullet when pipe lets go by Darrell Greer Northern News Services Rankin Inlet Rankin Inlet recreation coordinator David Clark didn't have much time to reflect on his team's overtime loss while leaving the ice after the First Air Avataq Cup final in Rankin this past month. Clark spotted water, and lots of it, running across the floor almost immediately upon exiting the ice area. He was quick to discover the water was originating from the opposite side of the building, and had already flooded the community hall. Clark said the problem stemmed from a joint that let go from the main pipes leading to the hall's sprinkler system. He said water was pouring out "pretty good" from underneath the stage in the hall, and was also flowing into the referee's room and a number of dressing rooms. "I don't know what the exact water pressure is going through those pipes, but it's pretty strong," said Clark. "I'd say it's not too far from, say, the pressure of a fire hose. "I noticed it right away after leaving the game and it was spreading out everywhere. "It took quite a few of us about 90 minutes to get all the water out." Clark said he was lucky a number of people who were there for the Avataq final pitched in to help arena staff clean the mess. He said it was also lucky the joint didn't manage to stay together for another hour, or so. "If that had happened overnight, when there was nobody here until the following morning, we would have been in a world of hurt. "We will have to remove the tiles in the hall and replace them this summer, as a result of the damage. "My mindset had to change pretty quick from losing a big hockey game to fixing the problem. "I went to bed that night and thanked the good Lord for having it happen when it did." Clark said, to him, the near miss once again draws atten- tion to the fact the community needs a new hall and arena. He said the hamlet dodged a bullet this time, but, the next time, it may not be so lucky. "It that had happened after everyone left the arena, I guarantee the community hall wouldn't even be open right now. "We got lucky this time, but I have to wonder when our luck is going to run out with such an old building." sR@ ,Isq{5,ā _YTYoBq 5f,y559Iq} qGBqD@%@7wI779>y,qBq, Darrell Greer/NNSL photo TONNE OF SNOW Many residents of Rankin Inlet had to shovel for hours to get out of their homes after a three-day blizzard pounded the community this past month.
