Andy Evaloakjuk, Innosar Issakiark and Ramon Kaviok, from left, are all smiles during the Arviat Drama
Club's 2011 production of The Bright Blue Mailbox Suicide Note. 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

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."

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.

The Paterson family, Ross, Charlene, Roen and Nuatii, from back, take a
slide down the hill on a day of promoting healthy lifestyles during the Drop The
Pop campaign in Arviat earlier this month.
"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."

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.

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-

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.

Blizzard pounds the Kiv
Three-day blizzard will be remembered for its intensity
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Rankin Inlet
One of the worst blizzards in decades
pounded most of the Kivalliq from March 15
to 17.
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."

Easter quickly approaches
Columnist Joyce Ayaruak gives thanks to those who helped clear her doorway
during the blizzard and search-and-rescue workers who found Trevor Autut
Northern News Services
Hello, one and all.
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. Have fun with your family
and friends, Amber, and say hello to Derek and your mom,
Melissa, when you get back to Ottawa.

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.

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.
"I'm thinking about putting
my own team together for next
year, but I haven't decided yet.
"Rankin has the number-one crowds in Nunavut
because they really love
hockey and they really get
into the game.
"Avataq is the number one
tournament to win in Nunavut
and, after the game, everyone
on our team was hollering,
laughing, hugging each other
and having a blast."
