Sweeping away
at the big time
Rankin junior team represents Nunavut
at national championship
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Rankin Inlet/
Corner Brook, N.L
Nunavut was well represented on the national curling
stage this past week.
The junior boys included
Kane Komaksiutiksak of the
Qavik Curling Club in Rankin Inlet, and consisted of
Kane (skip), Tyson Komaksiutiksak (third), Sidney Nichol
(second) and Darren Makkigak (lead).
Nunavut's female junior
squad was represented by skip
Sadie Pinksen, third Christianne West, second Katie
Chislett Manning and lead
Kaitlin MacDonald from the
Iqaluit Curling Club.
The round-robin games of
the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors curling championship were played at both
the Corner Brook Civic Centre
and the Corner Brook Curling
Club, in Corner Brook, N.L.
The playoffs were held at
the Civic Centre.
Skip Kane was making
his second appearance at the
national junior event.
He said every little
improvement his rink made
was a significant achievement.
"The event, itself, is great
and it's like something new
every time," said Kane.
"We had two or three good
games and, in the other ones,
we just got drilled.
"I was expecting to get
drilled in most of the games,
but our team did way better
than I expected.
"My guys were a lot better
with their draw shots than I
thought they'd be, and they
only hogged out two shots
during the whole tournament
where their stone didn't make
the hog line in front of the
house."
Kane said if his team
were to stay together for a
few years, he'd concentrate
on improving every aspect of
their game.
He said while his team
does know how to do a lot of
things, they don't do them as
well as they should.
"It's possible to improve,
even with the ice conditions in
Rankin, but you have to work
hard at it.
"There are days when we
can get our ice understandably
close to how good ice should
play, but just not close enough.
"We had a good time with
most of the curlers there, but,
to be honest, I liked the Newfoundland curlers the best.
"The Manitoba boys were
the best for helping us and
offering advice, and both their
coach and the Quebec coach
were so great to us I started to
think they thought more about
us than their own teams."
Kane said there were good
crowds at the two venues for
most of the tournament.
He said he was surprised
by how much support the British Columbia team received in
Newfoundland.
"I thought it was weird that
B.C. were there from the other
side of the country, and they
had the most fans.
"They had quite a few
people from across the country cheering them on.
"For our team, I really
didn't like the way our sweepers swept in our first game,
but, from the first game to the
last, I noticed a big difference.
"They really started communicating well on who goes
where when they sweep, while
I, as skip, asked for a second
opinion on every shot."
Coach Angela Dale said
the national was a really great
experience and everyone had a
great time.
She said they all learned a lot about the sport by
attending.
"We had set small goals for
the team going to the national," said Dale.
"They accomplished a lot
of those goals in improving,
and learning more about the
technical side of the sport.
"It's really exciting to be
there and see the high performance of some of our
young athletes in Canada and
to know, most likely, some
of these young athletes will
become Olympians.
"There were teams com-
peting that had very high skill
levels."
Nichol viewed playing at
the junior national as a tremendous learning experience
before leaving Rankin Inlet.
A competitive curler for
only six months, he knew the
best the team could hope for
on the scoreboard was to keep
a game or two close.
"It was just an awesome
experience," said Nichol.
"It was, pretty much, what
I expected, and the scores
in most of our games didn't
really surprise me too much,
but the skill set of some of the
teams surprised me a lot.
"You kind of know what
to expect, but when you're
actually on the ice and see
how big of a difference there
is between our skill set and
many of the teams there, it
becomes totally different."
Nichol said most of the
curlers were friendly and outgoing toward the Nunavut
team.
He said he made a lot of
new friends at the event.
"We made some pretty
close friends on some of the
teams, actually, and I think
some will stay in touch.
"The experience has me
thinking I'll continue playing
the sport in Rankin."

Chester kids take to ice after receiving hockey equipment
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Chesterfield Inlet
Donated equipment has led to
more hockey players taking to the
ice in Chesterfield Inlet this season
and more help could be on the way.
Retired RCMP officer Barry
Hickman got the gear to Chester
through his Northern Dreams - A
Smile One Skate At A Time program with help from Calm Air and
the Western Canada-based J & R
Hall Transport Inc.
Chester RCMP Const. Mark
Fowler said the children in Chester
loved the equipment.
He said about nine full bags of
gear were distributed in the community.
"Kids still knock on my door to
ask if we have any more gear," said
Fowler.
"There was also some larger gear
taken by adults in the community
who couldn't afford to buy new
hockey equipment for themselves.
"Now these guys are playing in
the men's league every night of the
week."
Fowler said while there were a
few items in poor condition, most of
the equipment was quality gear.
He said some of the young players didn't have any gear before the
donation arrived, while others badly
needed to update what they were
wearing on the ice.
"Mostly, it was kids without any
gear who got what they needed to
play.
"I'm at
the arena
eve r y
second
night,
and the
kids play
just before we do.
"They love being able to play and
they're tickled pink to have gear of
their own."
Fowler said you see a big difference in behaviour with youths
involved with sports in their community.
He said there's no doubt in his
mind playing sports and being
involved in other activities help a
lot of children stay on the right path.
"I've been a police officer for
eight years, and, the way I've seen
it, a kid who's active and busy with
sports and other community activities, is a kid who's not in trouble.
"We
owe
thanks
to
Barry (Hickman) for what he did,
and Cpl. Ben Toutan and myself
are working contacts in the south to
keep this going because there's still
a big need in the community.
"There's no commitment yet, but
(Canadian Tire's) Jumpstart program is watching what we're doing
to raise funds locally.
"We held one Leafs versus Habs
game and we hope to hold another
next week."
Fowler also reached out to one
of the biggest corporate names in
hockey.
He said he is quite optimistic
after being in contact with Maple
Leaf Sports Entertainment in
Toronto.
"I wrote the company a letter to
outline how dedicated the kids are
and how much they love hockey.
"They loved the letter and they're
going to send us some stuff to auction off.
"You don't see a true hockey fan
until you come up here.
"These kids live and breathe
hockey."

Missing man found
Rankin Inlet/Arviat
A 52-year-old man travelling to Arviat from
Rankin Inlet was found safe on the land about
34 km away from Arviat.
Police have not released the man's name.
Arviat RCMP received a call around 9 a.m.
on Jan. 22 advising the detachment the man
had left for Arviat two days earlier and was
believed to be lost.
The Arviat search-and-rescue team, with
the assistance of a military Hercules aircraft,
began searching the area.
The man was spotted Jan. 24, at about 10
a.m. by military personnel on the aircraft.
A helicopter was deployed from Arviat to
transport the man, who was suffering from
non life-threatening injuries, back to the community.
Return of the cup
Rankin Inlet
Organizers in Rankin Inlet are looking to
rejuvenate the Kivalliq Cup old-timers tournament in Rankin this coming weekend.
The Kivalliq Cup tournament has not been
held in the region for a number of years.
As of press time, five teams were expected
to participate, including two from the host
community.
Cooking off the shelf
Baker Lake
A basic shelf workshop, teaching how to

hall beginning at 1:30 p.m.
Part two will be held on Feb. 6, beginning

to use at home, and receive their own copy of
the Basic Shelf Cookbook.
The workshop is open to adults only, 18
years of age or older, as there will be no

Meliadine clears major checkpoint
Northern Development minister accepts NIRB recommendations
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Rankin Inlet
Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.'s
Meliadine gold project took a
huge step toward becoming a
reality this past week.
The Meliadine project was
approved by the federal government on the recommendations of the Nunavut Impact
Review Board (NIRB).
The review board's recommendation to approve Meliadine included no less than 127
terms and conditions.
Impact review board executive director Ryan Barry said
the approval became official
on Jan. 27.
He said the key component in Northern Development
Minister Bernard Valcourt's
approval of the review board's
report on the project is the
acceptance of the 127 recommended terms and conditions.
"They range from the need
of an updated management
plan to restrictions on the use
of the public access road and
operational things that would
have to be done, so it's quite
a wide gambit of terms and
conditions that led to control
of all the potential effects,"
said Barry.
"When it comes to the
necessary resources being in
place to monitor the project
effectively, which is a NIRB
concern, some of these things
only prove out once they've

"They (federal government) recognize that, but, at
the same time, it's more of
a cautioning that with this
being another new mining development – and from
what we're seeing through
our monitoring of existing
mining developments and
ongoing assessments – everyone across the board is doubting capacity issues.
"We see some areas where
there's more importance for
environmental safeguards as
the issues are that much more
alarming."
The board suggested a
capacity assessment be prepared within 12 months of
the project certificate being
issued.
Barry said from the review
board's perspective, that time

He said that was one of

Edges Naujaat 10-8
in senior championship game
by Darrell Greer
Northern News Services
Arviat
Rankin Inlet defeated
Repulse Bay (Naujaat) 10-8
in a wild-and-woolly affair
to claim the Jon Lindell
Memorial (JLM) Calm Air
Cup senior men's championship in Arviat from Jan. 22
to 25.
The Arviat Stars, who
saw their bid for a threepeat dashed by Rankin in the
semifinal, defeated the Karetakers to claim bronze.
Whale Cove and the
Arviat Jets, Wolves and
Bruins also competed at the
event.
Head organizer Gleason
Uppahuak said, competitively, this was the best JLM to
date.
He said the crowds were
large and the arena loud during the weekend. Uppahuak
said the competitiveness
of this year's tournament
showed teams are starting to
see the memorial cup as an
important event in regional
hockey.
He said that's a good sign
for the tournament going forward.
"There were a number
of very exciting games, and
playoff positions came right
down to the final round-robin
game between the Karetakers
and Bruins.
"The Bruins won the
game in overtime, but they
were leading with less than a
minute left.
"If they had held on, and
the Karetakers not tied it in
the final 30 seconds, there
would have been a three-way
tie in that division.
"There were only two mercies in the whole tournament,
so that shows this year's JLM
was very competitive."
Uppahuak, who also
coached the Stars, said he
was disappointed the team
couldn't pull off the threepeat, but not overly surprised.
He said he knew the Stars
were in tough to take this
year's title when he saw the
rosters of the other teams,
especially Naujaat and Rankin.
"We entered the third period of our semifinal against
Rankin tied 2-2 and we had
our chances, but Rankin's
goalie (James Merritt) stoned
us from there on.
"He deserved to be named
the top goalie this year.
"I congratulate Rankin
on their win and thank all
the teams for coming, Sila
Rainbow for helping with the
raffle and the Arviat recreation department for all its
hard work.
"I also thank all our
sponsors; Padlai Co-op, the
Northern store, Eskimo Point
Lumber Supply, Arctic Connections and, our main sponsor, Calm Air."

Another chilly day in the Kiv
Northern News Services
Good chilly day, folks!
Brrr. I don't think it's just me feeling the
cold this past while. With temperatures dropping below -40 C and two blizzards recently,
I think we are all counting the days until
spring arrives.
But, until then, please dress warmly when
going outside, and dress extra well with additional clothing and gear if you're planning a
trip out on the land.
We have a whole bunch of hockey tourna-
ments that are going to be played in Rankin
Inlet from this coming weekend until the end
of March, as well as a few other sports tournaments, so keep checking for the details.
Baker Lake will also be hosting a big
hockey territorial in late March.
I'm sure we're all proud of our teams and
players. We always get a great effort from all.
We send a huge thank you to all the coaches,
refs and sponsors who make these events hapPlease see More, page 16

Happy birthday to Johnny Naukatsik on Feb. 10. Enjoy
your special day surrounded by friends and family.
Sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of the
late Mannapik Aklunark, who passed away earlier this
month in Winnipeg. Always a jokester and up for some
laughs, his friendly face will be missed by his many friends
and family members who loved him so deeply. May the
peace of God be with you all, and know that you are in our
thoughts and prayers.
Deepest condolences to the family, loved ones and relatives of the late Peter Ipkornerk of Rankin Inlet, who
passed away peacefully Jan. 22. Peter's quick smile and laugh
were there every time you saw him. He always had a smile to
share, or a funny joke or short story to pass along. His helpfulness to his family will be greatly missed and remembered.
May his wife, Alice, and all Peter's family know that we
share in their loss and uphold them in prayer. God bless you
all with His comfort and peace.
Our most sincere condolences to the family and loved
ones of the late Catherine Tudlik, who passed away peacefully in Rankin Inlet on Jan. 29 with her family at her side.
Our heart goes out to her husband, Tommy, their children and
grandchildren, who will miss her loving touch and helpful
ways. Catherine's beautiful sewing and craft work are being
enjoyed by people all over the Kivalliq region. May the peace
of God be your companion and may you find comfort in the
beautiful memories she left behind. God bless you.
Well, dear friends, that's about it for this time around.
If you're out and about your community, and you're able,
please drop in and say hello to an elder, shut-in or someone
recovering at home. Any kindness you can do is deeply
appreciated by those receiving it. Thank you.
Until next time, please be good to yourself and those you
love, and remember to keep giving away those smiles like
they were free!
