Remembering those who served Well-known Kivalliq trapper gave his life in Second World War

Arviat/Rankin Inlet

While Remembrance Day ceremonies across the country are looking a little different this year thanks to Covid-19, the importance of remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom remains as crucial today as it's ever been.

Long-time Royal Canadian Legion Branch 169 member Darrin Nichol of Rankin Inlet said the Legion worked with the hamlet to go ahead with this year's Remembrance Day ceremony.

He said the ceremony is scheduled to be held today, Nov. 11, at the Rankin community hall, with a limit of about 100 people in attendance and strict physical distancing being enforced.

"It's going to be somewhat of a stripped-down ceremony but it's important that we do hold one in our community," said Nichol.

"It's super important to acknowledge, from every era, all the folks who have gone out into the world on behalf of their country with the military, RCMP and other peacekeeping forces.

"They all represented our country well, really, in the defence of freedom and everything we stand for, so it's been good during the past few years to see attendance at our Remembrance Day ceremony still ticking upwards."

Nichol said the Second World War happened almost 100 years ago now, and people everywhere may be forgetting just how many Canadians answered the call at that time.

He said many other Canadians have paid the ultimate price for their country during numerous conflicts since the end of the Second World War. "In fact, we had a young man from Iqaluit, Jordan Anderson, 25, lose his life along with six other Canadians to a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on July 4, 2007.

"And we've had people from up here who fought in Korea and many others who served with the regular forces in the navy, air force and army – quite a contingent from here, really – and others who have served with the RCMP, and it's extremely important to acknowledge their dedication and commitment."

Nichol said he has a family member on his wife's side, William Green, with deep

More than 3,000 Second World War Allied forces casualties are laid to rest, many of them Canadian, at the Commonwealth Berlin War Cemetery in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg, Germany. ties to Arviat and Churchill, Man., who gave his life in the Second World War. He said Green spent a lot of time trapping around the Arviat region and left behind two daughters, Irene Kablutsiak and Emily Angalik, in Arviat who have also since passed away.

"He fought with Canada and lost his life in the war during a bombing mission with the 432 Air Command out of England, if I recall correctly, over a small community named Marlow, Germany," said Nichol.

"It's believed that two Allied aircraft came together in the sky that night. You have to remember that it was pitch black, they didn't have anywhere near the navigational equipment planes have today, they were being hammered with anti-aircraft fire and that all combined to bring the two planes together in midair.

"When the Red Cross folks got to go in and try to figure out who was who after the fighting, they found 16 people together in one mass grave who had died the night of the

raid.

"They interviewed folks from the community and confirmed that two planes had come down at roughly the same time in the same area, so they did their best to sort out the deceased and he was one who they were able to confirm."

"No one from either plane survived."

Nichol said the family knows where Green's body was laid to rest in the Commonwealth Berlin War Cemetery in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg, Germany, which helped ease the pain of his loss a little for some family members.

He said the message of never forgetting those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom appears to still be resonating well with the younger generations, at least in his home community.

"Canada's changed a lot in the past two decades but the conflicts our country was involved in just can't be forgotten, of course, and that's a key job of the legion – to foster remembrance, and advance

acknowledgment of the people who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country and all the generations that followed them.

"As time goes on, that messaging remains equally if not more important and I think we're doing a good job with that. Canada is a much different place today than it was almost 100 years ago when the Second World War was going on but, I think, the messaging is quite reflective of where we want it to be, for sure.

"Here in Rankin, the demand for poppies every year has not diminished at all.

There's a lot more people in the country now, so sometimes it may seem as if not as many people are wearing poppies in honour of Remembrance Day every year now.

"But, speaking directly for our branch and what we've seen around here the past few years, the demand for poppies remains equally high if not actually higher today and that's definitely great to see.

The community of Rankin Inlet remembers and, I believe, it always will."

Hitting the quota for nanuq Kivalliq hunters lucky enough to get a tag quick to head out after polar bear

by Darrell Greer

Northern News Services

Arviat

Hamish Mamgark's week went from big time disappointment to over-themoon joy in a matter of days earlier this month in Arviat.

Mamgark had been hoping against all hope his name would be drawn for one of the 12 polar bear tags available in Arviat this past month, and he was wondering if there was any way he'd get a second chance when his name wasn't pulled for the tags.

It was all Mamgark could do not to break into a jig on the spot when he found out his name was pulled as the first alternate in the tag draw.

One by one the lucky hunters who names were drawn headed out on the land after nanuq and Mamgark started to get hopeful once again when he heard a number of them had come back to the hamlet empty handed.

Mamgark, 20, said he wasn't listening to the radio when they started pulling the names and, when he was told his name had been pulled as an alternate, he hoped and hoped he had enough luck on

side to finally have a chance to go out after a polar bear.

He said as he understood it, the first 12 people who went out on Oct. 30 had until 5 p.m. on Nov. 1 to either get a bear or return their tag.

"I was like the first alternate, or however you say it, so when Sunday finally came, which seemed to take forever, it was finally my turn to go. It all happened so fast and the next thing I know we were headed out to a spot about 12 miles south of the community," said Mamgark.

"When I first saw the bear out on the land I was like holy s---, would you look at that. I was so excited. I couldn't believe the size of him.

"The bear saw us and took off running toward the sea. He just took off. He didn't raise up on his back legs to challenge us or anything like that. He just ran.

"We chased it for about 30 seconds, I'd say, and then I had a good shot and was able to bring him down. I don't know what to say to describe how I felt. I was just so excited and so happy."

Polar bear season was also in full swing in Rankin Inlet, with that community also having 12 tags in total – six for males and six for females, with nine of the tags being open and three that were drawn.

As of press time in Rankin, five tags had been used with three male bears and two females being harvested.

The Arviat quota has been met and many folks in the community are not happy about the fact Arviat, which has more polar bears than most communities in Nunavut, is only allowed 12 tags.

Mamgark said Arviat definitely should be allotted more tags but he's more than happy with how things turned out for him, getting his first polar bear this year.

He said it took him a little bit to calm down after he landed the bear and then it was right to work on the hide.

"We skinned it right away and then took the samples you can return to wildlife and get some money for them ($45 for lower jaw, $100 for the baculum, $40 for lip tattoo(s), etc.).

"I kept the bear's head and its fur, but we left the meat out there because nobody eats it out here.

"I think my mom's going to make the hide into a rug for me.

"I started going hunting alone when I was about 15 and getting my first nanuq was one of my happiest days as a hunter. Getting that bear kind of really made me feel like a man."

Had they not been willing to sacrifice Northern News Services

You have to give long-time Royal Canadian Legion member Darrin Nichol credit for some of the issues he raises elsewhere in this edition regarding the importance of Remembrance Day. It's not just about the ceremony itself but every single Canadian who has ever put on a uniform to protect those who are often not able to protect themselves, and that includes police men and women, soldiers, sailors and airmen, firefighters and first responders of all types and traditions.

Remembrance Day ceremonies are going to look very, very different in many, if not all, comSanikiluaq munities across Canada this year because of the very insidious presence across the entire globe of Covid-19.

The global pandemic has changed the very fabric of our way of life, and introduced a "new normal" that many of us have no desire to adapt totally into. But until that triumphant roar of hallelujah echoes out from a laboratory somewhere on this planet – and it really doesn't matter where because we have already begun to crack under the pressure and are proving we are still not capable as a race of human beings of making a few self-sacrifices in order to protect those among us who are

Rankin Inlet launches full hockey season despite Covid-19

by Darrell Greer

Northern News Services

Rankin Inlet

As hockey crazy as Rankin Inlet can often be – especially during major tournaments such as the Terence Tootoo Memorial senior men's event and the Polar Bear Plate juvenile/junior showcase – there's probably not too many folks out there who would have bet big bucks against Covid-19 preventing the launch of the 2020-2021 hockey season in Rankin from initiation all the way up to oldtimers in the community.

And, the not-so-funny part of the story is that the very

same folks who will not be allowed in the new arena to watch the best hockey Nunavut has to offer this season are the hockey-loving folks who have consistently followed all the health rules, regulations and guidelines concerning public events and gatherings to help their community get back to as normal as it can be during the age of Covid-19 and a worldwide pandemic.

To say the community has beaten the odds to successfully launch Nunavut's busiest (and arguably best) hockey schedule in Rankin is still one heck of an understatement.

It hasn't been easy for the

community to make it this far, and there are guaranteed more tough times ahead as long as Covid-19 remains a serious threat to public health.

It is just as likely for the season to be cancelled again at some point in time, as it is for the launch of a vaccine to successfully regulate Covid to the sidelines for now and forever – and it can take its "new normal" with it when it goes.

The tough days still ahead are not lost upon the community's recreation co-ordinator, David Clark, who coaches minor hockey and is on its executive board, plays in the local senior men's league and is on its executive committee, runs annual skills development camps for minor hockey, and organizes and helps oversee just about every single tournament played in his community annually.

No small feat and an absolute ton of work.

The senior league began play this past weekend and, while Clark and his fellow committee members successfully got the league up and running again, Clark knows the format is less than perfect.

"We held our draft for the captains to select their team for the year this past weekend – we're only holding the one this year – and then started league play the next day," said

Clark.

"We're only going with five teams this year. I can see that possibly causing some issues because, in my opinion, we have too many players on each team (18 to 20).

"And, I think, that's going to be more of a problem than we've seen in the past because, thanks to Covid, I don't expect we'll be seeing people travelling nearly as much during the season, so, we might have nearly every player in the league showing up for very game and, really, that's not going to work for everyone.

"I think we have to start talking about possibly going back to the year we had both an A Division and a B Division. If the big numbers we're seeing continue to grow in minor hockey, many of these guys will reach our senior league in just a few years, and we're reaching the point where we're going to have to do something to include them."

Another change Clark and his fellow committee members have had to address are the challenges forced upon the game by Covid-19.

Clark said he's doing his best to make sure all the players bring a water bottle with their name on it because there's no sharing of water

bottles this year and spitting while on the ice is absolutely forbidden.

"We can't shake hands after the game anymore, so we just, kind of, waved to each other after our first game. That was kind of awkward but it's the kind of thing we're into now.

"And, also, the building is empty this year. Normally, there would have been a couple of hundred people in the stands watching the season opener this past Sunday night.

"That became a ritual in Rankin – people would get out of the house, go to the arena, meet up with family and friends, maybe have a cup of coffee or two, and spend their Sunday evening watching a couple of games of local hockey.

"There's also a few other things put in place against Covid, like anyone in Rankin who is classed as an essential worker and came through Winnipeg, or anywhere else for that matter, without isolating won't be allowed to play in our hockey league.

"It's an ongoing challenge, that's for sure, but, whatever happens with our league, I'm just happy the kids are back playing hockey again because, for some of them, it's really helped change their lives for the better."

Hilarie Makpah is all smiles after beating the odds and drawing the Ace of Spades the very first night of a new Chase the Ace fundraiser in Rankin Inlet on Friday, Nov. 6.

Amazing win in Rankin Rankin Inlet Rankin Inlet resident Hilarie Makpah made a believer out of everyone in her community when it comes to who may be Lady Luck's favourite elder when she drew the Ace of Spades on the very first night of a new Chase the Ace fundraiser in Rankin Inlet this past Friday, Nov. 6.

Elder Makpah pocketed a cool $15,000 for her amazing feat of luck in beating the 52-1 odds by pulling the target ace.

The Chase the Ace fundraiser in Rankin Inlet is held to benefit both the local fire department and the hamlet's recreation department.

Covid in Nunavut Nunavut A second positive case of Covid-19 has been confirmed in Sanikiluaq by Nunavut chief public health officer Dr. Michael Patterson, who announced the confirmation via a Government of Nunavut news release issued this past Saturday, Nov. 7, by Department of Health assistant manager of communications Chris Puglia.

A rapid response team of one nurse and one technician arrived in Sanikiluaq on Nov. 7 to assist the team already in the community.

As of that same day, 11 people had been identified as persons being followed. The team is assessing their risk of exposure and contact tracing is ongoing.

The news release also informed that all public health measures implemented on Nov. 7, including travel to and from the community and limitations on gatherings, remain in effect.

Patterson said in the news release that the second confirmed individual is part of the same household as the first positive case, is asymptomatic, isolated and doing well.

"While there is no evidence at this time of community transmission, I ask the residents of Sanikiluaq to stay vigilant and follow the public health orders," said Patterson.

"The importance of public health measures cannot be underestimated. Stay at home, do not go visiting and wear a mask in public spaces such as grocery stores. Together we can prevent any further spread in the community."

Cabinet shuffle Kivalliq/Nunavut Premier Joe Savikataaq announced changes to Nunavut's executive council this past Friday, Nov. 6, after swearing in the newest member of cabinet, Minister Margaret Nakashuk, earlier in the week.

The changes made by the premier, which came into effect this past Monday, Nov. 9, are listed below.

David Akeeagok remains deputy premier and minister of Economic Development and Transportation, and becomes minister of Human Resources.

Lorne Kusugak becomes minister of Health and Minister responsible for Seniors. George Hickes remains minister of Finance and becomes minister of Justice. Jeannie Ehaloak becomes minister of Community and Government Services, and remains minister responsible for the Qulliq Energy Corp. David Joanasie remains minister of Education and becomes minister responsible for Nunavut Arctic College. Margaret Nakashuk becomes minister of Culture and Heritage and minister responsible for the Nunavut Housing Corporation.

Elisapee Sheutiapik remains minister of Family Services and minister responsible for Status of Women, while Premier Savikataaq remains minister of Executive and Intergovernmental Affairs and minister of Environment.

In a year most likely remembered for its bad news and more bad news, Arviat's Vayda Kaviok received some most welcome news recently when the US$4,800 scholarship she received from the De Beers Group for the 20192020 school year was renewed by the company for her current 2020-2021 school year.

The De Beers Group has awarded scholarships totalling US$48,825 to 14 Canadian women enrolled in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields at universities and colleges in Canada.

The scholarships are awarded as part of the company's partnership with UN Women and its commitment to stand with women and girls in its host countries.

Kaviok is the lone De Beers scholarship recipient from Nunavut, joining 11 from the Northwest Territories and two from Northern Ontario.

Seven US$2,175 entrance scholarships will go to new recipients for the 2020-2021 school year, while seven women will receive a second year of funding under the 2019-2020 program.

The awards are administered by Scholarships Canada, which received more than 200 applications for the De Beers Group program this year alone.

Kaviok, 25, is in the second year of a four-year nursing program after also completing a pre-nursing program in Iqaluit.

She said her interest in nursing was sparked during her time working in mental health.

"I was working as a clerkinterpreter with mental health and that experience made me realize that I really wanted to become a nurse," said Kaviok.

"I'm really happy I made the decision to come here. It's a really good program and the instructors are really supportive too.

"I'm not sure where I'll end up when I finish this program because I want to eventually be specialized in psychiatric nursing."

Now in her second year of the Nunavut Arctic College nursing program in Iqaluit, Vayda Kaviok of Arviat recently had the US$4,800 scholarship she received from the De Beers Group for the 2019-2020 school year renewed by the company for her 2020-2021 school year. everything in the North.

"Everyone who lives here knows the high cost of food in our grocery stores, but it's not just that the scholarship has helped me with.

"It's helped me a lot with buying stuff I need for my program, like my scrubs and the stethoscope I just bought.

"It also helped me to buy clothing for my little one and to pay for her day care, because day care here (in Iqaluit) is more expensive than in Kivalliq.

"So, the scholarship has helped me in many different ways since I started the program. It's been very important to me."

Like just about every student across the country, Kaviok has had her post-secondary experience affected by

Covid-19.

Soon after everyone became aware of the pandemic, Kaviok and her fellow nursing students found themselves continuing their program online.

"One time I was actually enrolled in southern courses because they had to cancel one of our clinical courses here. So that meant we had to take two extra courses during the spring term that went until the end of July.

"That was very tough but we're still going.

"I was able, however, to go home to Arviat for a couple of weeks during the start of Covid to refresh a bit because I wasn't able to go home for Christmas.

"And I was able to go home for a month after my

course was finished for the first year."

Kaviok said there was a time not that long ago when she didn't really know where to get started with her life.

She said one thing she does know for sure, if you have a dream or a real passion for something you want to do in your life, go for it!

"It may take a little time to figure things out but, once someone knows what it is that they want to do in life, they should pursue it as best that they can.

"Anyone who has made the decision to go to school should remember to take the time to research scholarships, because there's many opportunities out there today willing to support the Indigenous population."
