Utilidor contract deadline passes Rankin Inlet The Aug. 27 closing date has passed on the request for proposals put out by the Government of Nunavut's (GN) Department of Community and Government Services to find a qualified professional architectural/ engineering firm to provide a design – and construction administration services – for parts of the Rankin Inlet utilidor infrastructure.

The project is to include the replacement of some sections of the buried water mains and wastewater piping systems and to access vaults and new installations inside the existing building of the Johnston Cove lift station in Rankin Inlet.

As of press time there is no indication the contract has been awarded.

Boil water advisory issued Baker Lake A boil water advisory was issued for the community of Baker Lake by Nunavut's Department of Health on Sept. 2.

The advisory is a precautionary measure due to high turbidity levels causing and cloudy water.

During a boil water advisory, all water meant for consumption must be brought to a rolling boil for a minimum of one full minute.

It is essential that all water be boiled that is meant for drinking, preparing infant formulas, preparing juices and ice cubes, washing fruits and vegetables, cooking or the brushing of one's teeth.

Water may be boiled either in a pot or kettle on a stove, or an electric kettle without an automatic shut-off.

Health emergency extended Nunavut Nunavut's public health emergency has been extended until Sept. 17 by Health Minister George Hickes.

The announcement was made in Iqaluit on Sept. 2.

Hickes said in a statement that it's important for Nunavut to continue with its measured response to the pandemic as it heads into the fall and continues with its long-term planning for Covid-19.

"I ask that Nunavummiut remain vigilant and committed to practicing the public health measures in place and that everyone does their part to keep our communities safe," said Hickes.

Symptoms of Covid-19 include a fever, cough or difficulty breathing.

Nunavummiut are reminded to practice physical distancing, wash their hands frequently and to stay home if they feel unwell.

Anyone who believes they have been exposed to Covid-19 should call the Covid hotline at 1-888-9758601 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. EDT – or notify their community health centre right away – and immediately isolate at home for 14 days.

Young hunter found safe 13-year-old in good health after being located by hunting party

The second place finishers at this year's Calm Air Cup mixed-softball championship in Rankin Inlet on Aug. 20 are the Salliq (Coral Harbour) Invaders. Back row from left, Chris Jones, Josh Ningeongan, Matthew Eetuk, Nigel Nakoolak, Charlie Nakoolak, Andy Nakoolak and Laa Saviakjuk. Front row from left, Naomi Emiktowt, Edna Nakoolak, May Ningeongan, Kathleen Netser, Vivian Paniyuk and Ullat Nakoolak.

An Iglulik teenager who had been missing for almost three days was found safe and in good health at about 6 p.m. Sept. 4 by the hunting party he had been with on the land.

The 13-year-old was part of a nine-person caribou-hunting party that travelled to Itiliq Cove from Iglulik by boat, according to a press release issued by Nunavut RCMP. He had gone out hunting with two other youths at about 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 1.

The RCMP said at the time when the teen didn’t return, the hunting group used a GPS device to report the missing boy to the International Emergency Response Co-ordination Centre.

"He did not return to the camp after staying out longer to hunt on his own," stated an RCMP spokesperson in the press release.

The RCMP thanked Nunavut Emergency Management and Search and Rescue (SAR) volunteers from Naujaat and Sanirajak in a press release which stated that the boy had been found.

People in a number of Kivalliq communities including Baker Lake, Naujaat and Rankin Inlet had begun donating funds this past week to assist SAR efforts in locating him.

A Hercules aircraft was sent from the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Trenton in Trenton, Ont., to search the area Sept. 2.

JRCC Trenton is responsible for co-ordinating the SAR response to air and marine incidents within the Trenton SAR region, which covers the majority of the onshore, offshore and territorial waters in the Canadian Arctic, including the entirety of the Northwest Territories and most of Nunavut.

A helicopter was also deployed in the search and rescue efforts to find the boy.

Praising the Kivalliq game Alberta referee still speaks fondly of his experiences in the North

by Darrell Greer

Northern News Services

Rankin Inlet/Arviat

It's been almost a decade since Alberta's Lindsey Juniper spent about 10 days in the Kivalliq region officiating hockey games at the midget territorial in Arviat and the Avataq Memorial in Rankin Inlet — and he still speaks glowingly about both the level of hockey in the region and the pure love for the game he encountered in Rankin.

Juniper said he doesn't mind admitting he was a bit surprised by the level of hockey he encountered in the Kivalliq region, especially the senior men's event in Rankin Inlet.

He said from his perspective calling hockey games in Alberta, he found the level of hockey and the intensity of the games at the Avataq to be quite impressive.

"It was different calling every game in front of a full house and, to me, a full house meant the fans were there to see some great hockey," said Juniper. "As officials, we needed to be on top of our game. We needed to step up to the plate to meet the challenge of that intensity."

Juniper said it's hard to describe

how it feels to officiate during a major tournament in Rankin.

He said the fans in both communities were the best he ever skated in front of during his 20-year career as an official and that was especially true in Rankin Inlet.

"The atmosphere was intense and electric! I never before imagined that I would ever get high fives from the fans after a game.

"I absolutely loved it."

Juniper said he was also taken back a bit by the positive attitudes the players all exhibited during such an intense tournament.

He said that's definitely not the case in many other locales he's officiated in over his two decades as a hockey official.

"The players were all great to deal with and very respectful. I had no issues whatsoever."

Juniper said he left the Kivalliq region with a true understanding of how important hockey is to Northern communities.

He said the game provides a great outlet for Kivalliq residents to gather and be entertained by good clean family entertainment.

"The level of enthusiasm amongst the fans was awesome, especially in Rankin Inlet.

Linesman Max MacDonald, left, and Alberta referee Lindsey Juniper, right, present Darryl Adjuk of Whale Cove with the Most Sportsmanlike Player award at the 2013 Avataq Cup in Rankin Inlet. The intense atmosphere at the Rankin arena left a lasting impression with the Alberta ref, which he still tells people about to this day.

"I still, to this day, describe it as those folks just love their hockey like none other I've witnessed at a community level."

Juniper said he'd strongly urge any Alberta referee to make the trip to Rankin or Arviat if the opportunity ever presented itself to them.

He said an open mind and being up for a great adventure are the

only two prerequisites.

"It's a great opportunity for anyone interested in officiating hockey outside of their normal hometown rink or area.

"I would come again, for sure, if invited. It's just a really special environment to be in because of the real love of the game the people there possess."

Freaky time at Calm Air Cup Rankin club downs Salliq to claim mixed-softball title

Rankin Inlet

The Rankin Freaks defeated the Coral Harbour (Salliq) Invaders 20-7 to capture the Calm Air Cup mixed softball title in Rankin Inlet this past month.

The Freaks defeated AC Trad-

ers in one semifinal to set-up the championship tilt, while the Invaders defeated the Blue Sox in their semifinal.

There were 10 teams in the tourney, with two teams from Coral Harbour, Baker Lake and Iqaluit joining the six Rankin squads. Players from Arviat, Baker and Iqaluit

also joined a number of Rankin teams for the tourney.

The championship game saw the Freaks redeem themselves against the Invaders, after Salliq had defeated them 20-7 in round-robin action.

Freaks player Kandace Graham said the tone was set for the day

2020 ᑳᒻ ᐃᐊᒃᑯᑦ ᐊᓇᐅᓕᒑᒡᒎᑎᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᓵᓚᒃᓴᖅᑐᑦ ᑲᖏᖅᖠᓂᕐᒥ Freaks-ᑯᑦ ᐅᑯᐊᖑᔪᑦ, ᑐᓄᐊᓂ ᓴᐅᒥᖅᖠᕐᒥ, ᓖ ᕿᓚᒃ, ᑕᓂᕙᓐ ᐊᔭᕈᐊᖅ, ᓵᑦ ᑕᐃᐸᓈᖅ, ᓵᑦ ᒍᕆᐊᒻ, ᔭᐃᒪᓯ ᒥᐅᕆᑦ, ᐃᐅᕈ ᑭᖕ, ᓯᒪᔅ ᐊᔭᕈᐊᖅ, ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᓄᐊᒪᓐ ᐅᑲᓕᖅ, ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᓯᕗᓂᐊᓂ ᓴᐅᒥᖅᖠᕐᒥ, ᓱᕐᓕ ᓇᑯᓛᖅ, ᑐᕆᓯ ᕈᑦᔅ, ᑲᑦᑐᓕᒃ ᐊᔭᕈᐊᖅ, ᑳᓐᑎᔅ ᒍᕆᐊᒻ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᐅᓕᕕᐊ ᑕᕐᕋᓕᒃ ᑲᖏᖅᖠᓂᕐᒥ ᐊᒐᓯ 30-ᒥ.

when the Freaks squeaked past the New Era in a true nail biter of a quarter-final game early Sunday morning.

She said her squad pulled out the win at their last at bat.

"We were down by four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning and pulled off a walk-off win," said Graham. "That had to be one of the best games of the tournament.

"The quality of ball at this year's tournament was through the roof; one of the best years we've had.

"It was anyone's Cup to take."

Graham said Covid-19 did have an effect on the tournament. She said tourney organizers couldn't flyin umpires from outside of the territory for this year's Cup event.

"We had asked a number of individuals from the region if they would be interested in getting certified and then coming to Rankin Inlet to ump, but they all declined.

"So we had two individuals from Rankin ump the tournament; one who recertified and one who got certified.

"Covid also meant Churchill could not attend as there were no direct flights. That meant the players would have to be placed in quarantine on the way up and back."

The Rankin Freaks and Salliq

Invaders now qualify for the 2021 national championship. They will be joined by the Rankin New Era and Rankin Royals, who qualified for the 2020 nationals which were cancelled due to the pandemic.

Graham said the 2020 Cup championship was a special one for her and her husband, Chad. She said the two of them have played on teams together for about 17 years now.

"We've played together since juniors and our first Calm Air Cup was 10 years ago. We were married in 2017, so this was our first Calm Air Cup championship as husband and wife. That felt good."

Graham has now turned her focus to organizing a biggest loser challenge in Rankin. She said the entrance fee is $100 per participant for the winner-take-all challenge, which will run for 12 weeks.

"I entered a similar challenge in 2018 and it helped keep me motivated to get healthy, so I wanted to challenge myself again.

"I asked a few friends if they were interested and then I asked my Facebook friends about it and there was enough interest and support for me to open it up to our community.

"The deadline for anyone to enter is Sept. 18."
