Rankin, Arviat and Chester students earn trip to national
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Baker Lake
The annual Kivalliq
Regional Science Fair saw
a school continue its recordbreaking run, and a strong
team selected for the national
event this past month at Jonah
Amitnaaq Secondary School
in Baker Lake.
Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik's
(MUI) Chelsea Sammurtok of
Rankin Inlet captured the Jim
Kreuger Award of Excellence
for having the top project
overall with Baby Got... Your
Back, while William Campbell of Qitiqliq School in
Arviat took second for What's
a Drift? Where's a Drift?
and Delilah Issaluk of Victor Sammurtok School (VSS)
in Chesterfield Inlet finished
third with Inuit Shades.
All three will travel to
Fredericton, N.B., to compete
at the Canada-wide Science
Fair from May 11 to 16.
Issaluk's selection saw
VSS extend its record of having a student selected for the
national fair to an unprecedented 13 years.
MUI science teacher Katharine O'Connell said the quality of projects from each community continue to get better
every year.
She said the race for the
top three spots at the regional
fair was extremely close.
"You walk into the gym
and you notice how great the
displays look, and the scientific thought behind them is
progressing each year," said
O'Connell.
"I've seen it come so far
during the past eight years,
and the past couple of years
have been great in terms of
overall project quality.
"All three winning projects
this year are culturally relevant, which helps each one
rank higher on the scoring
scale.
"It's getting more difficult
to predict a high finisher each
year, until every aspect of the
project and presentation have
been judged."
There were 22 projects
entered at this year's fair, with
all seven Kivalliq communities represented.
The trio of projects selected for the Canada-wide Science Fair represent a strong
combination for the Kivalliq,
whose students have won a
number of bronze medals,
special awards and honourary
mentions over the years.
Glen Brocklebank of VSS
in Chesterfield Inlet said the
KSEC changed the judging
criteria a bit this year to put
more emphases on the process.
He said new resources
were also developed to help
level projects and encourage
students to identify criteria
KSEC wants to see.
"We were successful in
trying that this year and,
ultimately, it will go back to
all the schools and teachers
so we can identify more criteria the students can use to
get their projects to a higher
level," said Brocklebank.
"This past year was the
highest number of level three
projects we've had.
"This year, about half the
projects entered were in the
higher levels.
"We've come from where,
as an organization, we were
bringing lower-level projects
to reach the point we're at
now, and a good part of that
is because we have a lot of
teachers who've been around
our programs for about fiveto-seven-years now."
Brocklebank said that continuity has resulted in students producing higher-level
projects at their own schools
to earn the right to compete at
the regional fair.
He said today's projects
feature more tests, detail and
analysis than ever before, and
by quite a wide margin in
most cases.
"We didn't have a single
low-level project this year that
drew its conclusion from a
single experiment done once.
"Our students are now
doing multiple tests, taking
averages and doing calculations.
"That's really been encour-
aging to see.
"About 60 per cent of this
year's projects tried to identify
and control variables, so the
data looked at more than one
thing, and isolated the factors
that can be controlled for the
conclusion."
Brocklebank said it was
incredible to see VSS's streak
reach 13 this year.
He said Chester students
put a lot of pressure on themselves to do well at the regional event, and a culture of science fair excellence has been
created at the school.
"You're super-excited as a
teacher because your students
are reaching for such a high
level.
"And, because we've been
successful in the past, they
have an idea of what their project should look like, and what
it should be about in order to
have a chance to go (to) the
Canada-wide Science Fair.
"There's still things we
need to work on, like stepping
our game up with translations.
"Delilah (Issaluk) made
it into third to qualify this
year, but the other schools
are really challenging now, so
there's some areas we have to
really make sure we cover if
we want to make it 14 straight
appearances or more."

New Kivalliq Counselling and Support Services (KCSS) counselling manager Bonnie Almon meets Rankin Inlet South MLA Alex Sammurtok during a KCSS open
house in Rankin Inlet this past month.
Meet and greet for mental health
Open house attracts large crowd in Rankin Inlet
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Rankin Inlet
Offering a few great prizes
and a lot of useful information is a good way to attract a
crowd in Rankin Inlet.
With the help of the local
business community, staff
members took advantage of
just such a combination to
hold an open house at Kivalliq Counselling and Support
Services (KCSS) this past
month.
Executive director Noel
Kaludjak said the open house
was a great way to let people
know about programs
KCSS
has to offer, as
well as meet
new counselling
manager Bonnie
Almon.
He said there
were also some people who
had no clue where the KCSS
office was located.
"There were a number of
people who came in to ask if
they were in the right place
because it looked like somebody's
house
to them," said
Kaludjak.
"So a lot more
people
know
where our location is now, and
they also know
who all our friendly staff
members are.
"It was nice for so many to
meet Bonnie (Almon), which
COFFEE
Break
gave her the chance to shake
hands and get to know some
of the people in the community.
"It was really good public
relations for us and people
were happy to come in and
see where we work, and, you
never know, somebody who
was there may need our help
one day and now they know
where to go and who to talk
to."
Kaludjak said the open
house was helped be a suc-
cess by the generosity of the
business community.
He said KCSS are very
grateful to Calm Air for
donating a pair of regional
passes as the main draw prize.
"We gave out more than
640 draw tickets during the
day.
"There were some given
out that were taken to elders,
or people who can't get around
very well, but we had about
600 people walk through our
door in one day.
"It could be quite difficult for me, at times, when I
first started here, so I hope
this will make the transition a
little easier for Bonnie.
"We didn't see anything
wrong with holding draws
so people would come see
where we work and get a better understanding of what we
do, so we decided to ask Calm
Air, Umingmak and Ivalu to
provide prizes and they came
though for us, which we really, really appreciate."

Keep the gear coming
Kivalliq
Barry Hickman, the man who launched Northern Dreams:
One Skate at a Time, plans to step up his efforts to bring more
quality used hockey equipment to Kivalliq youth in 2015.
Hickman plays on the same hockey team as Darryl
McComb, the operations manager for J&R Hall Transport in
Vancouver.
The company takes the gear Hickman collects to its Winnipeg warehouse, where it hands it off to Calm Air to be flown
into Kivalliq hamlets free of charge.
The group distributed pallets of gear across the region this
past season, putting many young players on the ice who, otherwise, would not have been able to play.
Photo winners announced
Coral Harbour
Ruth Eetuk of Coral Harbour took top spot ($1,000) for her
photo, Making Pipsi, in the International Women's Day photo
competition held by the Qulliq Nunavut Status of Women
Council.
The International Women's Day photo competition was on
display at the Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum in Iqaluit from
March 8 to 24.
Lisi Kavik Mickiyuk of Sanikiluaq took second place
($500) for Tending to the Qulliq, while Madeleine Cole of
Iqaluit took third ($250) for Myna Teaching.
Boil water warning prompted
Rankin Inlet
A boil water advisory was issued in Rankin Inlet by Nunavut's Department of Health this past weekend.
The advisory was issued as a precautionary measure based
on the low levels of chlorine in the community's water system.
Residents were instructed to bring all water meant for consumption to a rolling boil for at least one full minute.

Baker educator gets national
recognition, peer's respect
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Baker Lake

Jim Kreuger presents Chelsea Sammurtok of Rankin Inlet with the first-place trophy at the Kivalliq
Regional Science Fair in Baker Lake this past month.
A man who's recognized
by many students and staff in
every Kivalliq school he visits
received some recognition of
another kind this past month.
Kivalliq School Operations program consultant Jim
Kreuger of Baker Lake is seen
as the man when it comes to
science in the Kivalliq.
Kreuger, who was the head
judge at the recent Kivalliq
Regional Science Fair in Baker,
was ready to deliver his judge's
comments following a slideshow at the awards ceremony,
when he realized all the slides
were of him.
It turned out the first award
to be presented was for him – a
Youth Science Canada Distinguished Service Award.
"I never saw that one coming," lamented Kreuger.
"It was pretty emotional
once it started, so I can't say I
got all the details of what they
were talking about because I
was fighting pretty hard just to
keep it together.
"I hold the teachers in the
Kivalliq Science Educators
Community (KSEC) in very
high regard, and, to have them
identify me as worthy of something like this was very meaningful for me.
"I don't think what I've done
is all that extraordinary, except
to network other like-minded
people and then see that network be able to do a lot."
Kreuger was one of the
founding members of the KSEC
during a meeting in Rankin
Inlet in March of 1994.
He said since day one,
KSEC has always been a teacher-driven organization.
"I consider myself a teacher,
even if I work in an office and
don't have a class.
"A professional learning community is what best
describes the organization.
"Rankin swept the first fair
we attended, with the projects
from the other communities
being entry level.
"Today it's hard to pick a
strong project or a week one
when you walk in, because
they're all so tight."
Kreuger said three different
communities are represented by
the projects going to this year's
Canada-wide Science Fair.
He said that's a huge step
away from what it was 20 years
ago.
"You look at the success
Chester has at the fair, and
the number one most important
characteristic of any teacher at
any school, is that they stay.
"Glen (Brocklebank) and
Ana (Leishman) have been
there the entire time, and Glen
has also grown from his participation in KSEC and is now one
of the KSEC leaders helping
other teachers grow.
"Improvement and consistency every year in the teachers spreads to the students and,
today, students in Chesterfield
Inlet expect to do well at the
fair."
Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik science teacher Katharine
O'Connell is in her eighth year
in Rankin and said Kreuger has
been absolutely foundational to
the KSEC.
She said Kreuger has kept
the KSEC going through good
and bad over the years.
"It's something that's very
difficult to achieve in the territory because there's so much
turnover," said O'Connell.
"Jim's been a great mentor
to so many individuals, and he's
taught all of us so much.
"He's been an inspiration
to everyone, and we're very
fortunate to have him in our
region.
"Jim is someone I look up
to, personally, because of what
he stands for and what he does
as a selfless person, always
giving to other people."
Brocklebank, a teacher at
the Victor Sammurtok school
in Chesterfield Inlet, said in his
opinion, Kreuger has played a
bigger role than anyone in the
development of science programming for the Kivalliq.
He said Kreuger has also
played the biggest role in his
own personal development as
a teacher.
"I wouldn't be the teacher I
am without Jim Kreuger's support," said Brocklebank.
"It comes so naturally to
him, that I'm not sure he's
even aware of the support and
encouragement he provides
many teachers in this region.
"I can think back to, probably, about 150 quotes of things
that Jim has said to me over the
years that kept me going and
focused.
"He gets a national recognition award on a Sunday night
and, on Monday, he's the only
one sweeping the gym at 6:30
in the morning."
Brocklebank said that
type of devotion is typical for
Kreuger.
He said it's hard to describe
the impression a scene like that
leaves you with.
"I'm watching my mentor sweeping a gym floor that
early in the morning because
he's so committed to the science fair.
"He's worked with teachers and staff at the school for
weeks to get the science fair
ready and organized, spent the
weekend totally involved with
it, and then there he is cleaning
to make sure we're invited back
and our programs continue to
be successful.
"His energy and enthusiasm
is infectious, and it's allowed
teachers like me to grow, blossom and be ourselves in the
classroom."

Making a difference
Kivalliq teachers honoured for
touching lives of students
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Repulse Bay/Baker Lake
Two Kivalliq teachers
were honoured for touching
the lives of their students this
past month.
The Nunavut Teacher
Association's Thank You for
Making a Difference campaign calls for students to
write a note thanking a teacher who has made a difference
in their lives.
The association received
more than 2,000 entries for
this year's awards.
Regional winners receive
an iPad mini, and their student nominators get a digital
camera and canvas painting.
The grand-prize winner
receives two First Air tickets,
and their nominator gets a
computer and printer.
Tusarvik School Inuktitut teacher Mary Tegumiar
couldn't have asked for a
better 49th birthday present,
when she came to school following a major blizzard in
Repulse Bay (Naujaat) and
was asked if she knew she
had won.
Tegumiar had no idea
what her fellow teacher was
talking about, and was blown
away to learn she was the
campaign's grand-prize winner.
She was nominated by
Grade 9 student Tiffany
Putulik.
Tegumiar began as a
student-support assistant at
Tusarvik in 1982-83, before
heading to college in Iqaluit
to become a teacher in 1996.
She returned to Tusarvik in 2000, where she's
remained ever since.
Tegumiar said it's very
important to her to make a
connection with her students.
She said too many Inuit
youth can hardly speak Inuktitut, and she wants to do
whatever it takes to reverse
that trend.
"It's very, very important for these kids to learn to
speak and write Inuktitut,"
said Tugumiar.
"When I'm working with
younger kids, especially, seeing them learn new words in
Inuktitut is one of the coolest
things about what I do.
"Our language is starting
to struggle here now, too, and
I think a good part of that is
because of technology.
"But many youths do
notice they're starting to lose
their language, and we work
together to try and get back
what they're losing."
Grade 7 teacher Denise
Cooper of Jonah Amitnaaq
Secondary School in Baker
Lake was the campaign's
regional winner for the
Kivalliq.
She was nominated by
student Aranxa Tunguaq.
Cooper has been in Baker
for the past 20 years, after
spending a year in Arviat and
two in Coral Harbour.
She said being named the
regional winner was a very
nice surprise.
"I was honoured by the
very wonderful words Aranxa
wrote to have me selected for
this," said Cooper.
"But there are many other
people around me who work
just as hard, love their jobs
just as much, and love working with their students just as
much as I do.
"It's very important to
work hard and reach out to
make that connection with
each of our students, but, usually, it's not a very difficult
task.
"If you love your job and
students, then putting in that
little bit of extra effort to

make a connection with them
comes quite naturally."
Cooper said she's enjoyed
every minute teaching in
Baker.
She said each year brings
new students, ideas and,
sometimes, staff.
"I embrace all of the changes that come in.
"I want to continue working where I do because I've
had so many good years
working with students and
parents here.
"I'm now starting to teach
children of the students I
taught formerly.
"It's very nice to be able
to know the families and parents in such a positive way."

First time banners
Junior C squad, Coral atoms
come up big in tourney play
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Coral Harbour/Rankin Inlet
A pair of dramatic stories played out on two very
different stages in the world
of Kivalliq hockey this past
month.
Six of the region's top junior players helped the Nunavut/NWT Branch claim its
first Maritime Hockey North
junior C championship under
the Baffin Blizzard flag in
Charlottetown, P.E.I.
Making the trip were Josh
Tartak and Keith (Butch) Sigurdson of Rankin, Tyler Tattuinee of Arviat, Roy Kopak
of Repulse Bay and Ruben
Saviakjuk and Jacob Nakoolak of Coral Harbour.
The Blizzard built up a 6-1
lead against P.E.I.'s Southside Lynx before going into
a defensive shell and almost
giving it away, escaping with
a 6-5 win.
Tartak was given the nod
as starting goaltender going
into the playoffs and put in a
stellar performance.
He said Tattuinee and Sigurdson also had major roles
throughout the tournament.
"This being the first time
Nunavut won is a pretty special feeling," said Tartak.
"We knew at the start we
had a good team, but I really
started to believe we could do
it when we beat New Brunswick in the last round-robin
game because everyone saw
them as the top team."
Tartak said the final was
nerve-wracking as the team
let its 6-1 lead slip away.
He said Nunavut lost
momentum when P.E.I.
scored two quick goals to
make it 6-3, then everyone
seemed to start playing a
defensive game.
"They had a lot of pressure on us during the third
period, and the last couple of
minutes were mind-boggling.
"We have the best fans
going in Rankin, and we may
have got a little lucky there
because their home crowd
wasn't very big, especially for
a final game, and a bigger
crowd cheering them might
have made a difference.
"I thought the crowd
would have been bigger with

we have bigger and better
fans in Rankin than they do.
"Rankin fans would
love this tournament and
they'd go nuts if we ever hosted it."
Meanwhile, in Rankin,
the upstart Coral Harbour
North Stars nipped Rankin
Rock One 4-3 to claim the
Arctic Atoms title, despite six
rookies in the lineup.
Head coach Lyle Harron
said his players had been
counting down the weeks to
the tournament, despite not
knowing who would be on
the final roster.
He said in the end, the
team used five novice rookies
in the tourney.
"They were pretty pumped
for this and continued to work
hard in practice even after the
team was announced," said
Harron.
"That made my job a lot
easier, that's for sure."
Harron said his players
had a lot of fun at the tournament, and they couldn't have
made the trip if it wasn't for
the great fundraising efforts

played key roles in Hockey North's first title at the Maritime Hockey North junior
‘C' championship in Charlottetown, P.E.I. this past month.
of the parents in Coral.
He said having fun while
playing the game is the top
priority for his team, and
winning it all was a bonus.
"Everyone knows it's special to play in a Rankin tournament, for any age, because
of the great crowds.
"My five novice and
one atom player, who had
never played in a tournament
before, were a little shellshocked, but they'd come
back to the bench all excited
and kind of amazed by the
crowd and all the cheering.
"I've been to a number of
Rankin tournaments and the
kids always have a blast, and
that's the main thing.
"It was run well, everyone
liked it and I didn't hear any
complaints at all."

Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor are welcomed by Kivalliq News, especially new contributors. We attempt to
publish a cross-section of public opinion. Not all letters will necessarily be published. Preference
is given to short letters of broad interest or concern. Letters of over 200 words, open letters and
those published elsewhere are seldom used.We reserve the right to publish excerpts, to edit for
length or taste and to eliminate inaccurate or libelous statements.We may also choose to use a
letter as the basis for a story. All letters submitted must be signed with a return address and
daytime phone number. Opinions expressed in letters and by columnists are those of the author
and are not necessarily shared by the editor or publisher.
