Staffing issues stressing Iqaluit's Upper Base Garage Returning to the territory amid Covid regulations caused significant delays for the business

by Rajnesh Sharma

Northern News Services

Iqaluit

Due to staffing issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the mechanics at Upper Base Garage are playing catch-up.

"I'm two months behind," said Michel Gilbert, the garage owner. "So you're gonna get your car when you're gonna get your car."

For the past 12 years, Gilbert and his team have been providing vehicle repair services to Iqalummiut. In 2010, he expanded his business to a second location in order to offer repair services for Caribou Cabs-a local taxi service in Iqaluit.

Usually there are four mechanics including Gilbert working at Upper Base Garage. However, since March the business has been short-staffed due to issues related to Covid-19.

Both Gilbert and a staff member, who were on vacation down south in March, faced delays before being permitted to return to the territory.

As of March 25, the Government of Nunavut requires all residents of Nunavut to complete a mandatory 14-day isolation period down south before entering the territory.

Gilbert said he had to email the Department of Health at least four times before he received the approval to return to Nunavut. After overcoming this ordeal, which he started in early April, he arrived in Iqaluit on May 18.

It took even longer for his mechanic, who returned in June, said the business owner.

Meanwhile, one of his mechanics "panicked" about Covid-19 and decided leave Nunavut in April he explained.

At that point, with only one mechanic

working at the Upper Base Garage, Gilbert told his employee to close the shop.

Presently, Gilbert is still trying to fully staff his shop. Finding a qualified mechanic who is willing to relocate to Iqaluit and undergo quarantine is challenging, he said.

Then, there is the concern of whether the new hire turns out to be a good investment.

"If you hire a new one, you got to put him in quarantine," said Gilbert. "He does a week, he panics because he cannot handle this place or he's not good … and (we have) invested all this money."

The lack of staff has prolonged the time needed to repair vehicles for customers.

Gilbert said he is getting stressed by customers saying, "'Where's my car? Why are you not fixing it?'"

The business owner is hoping to have his shop fully staffed in the coming month.

Iqaluit Humane Society facing leasing and liability issues 'In the short term, if we were removed from the property, we would have nowhere to go and neither would our animals' Northern News Services

collected through fundraising.

Leasing and liability concerns pertaining to Iqaluit Humane Society were discussed by the councillors during a special city council meeting on August 18.

Mayor Kenny Bell said he recently became aware that IHS does not currently hold a lease agreement with the city. "They're there on our city property for free," he explained.

"They haven't had a lease since at least 2010," said Bell, adding the exception was in 2012 for one year.

The mayor said this "historic problem" worries him for liability issues.

IHS has been in operation since 2007 and is run by Janelle Grace Kennedy. As Nunavut's only animal shelter, the organization has been providing services for all communities in the territory.

When asked whether IHS would have the ability to pay rent, Kennedy said, "We run on donations." It would ultimately depend on the amount of rent required. She added the rent money would have to

Dangerous dogs are liabilities Besides the lease agreement issue, the city lawyers have informed the council it is a liability to have a "dangerous" dog on the city property.

Since October 2018, the IHS has been taking care of a dog named Princess, who has been designated as a "dangerous" dog by the Nunavut court of justice.

Prior to being placed in the shelter, Princess had killed two dogs and attacked a human.

"We definitely want the dog gone from the city building," said the mayor.

He added, "Sadly, removing the dog from the pound is likely sending it to its death."

Kennedy, who was unaware that Princess had attacked a human, said the IHS will "fully co-operate" by removing the dog from the property and finding her a "proper setup."

However, Councillor Sheila Flaherty believes dangerous dogs should be

Iqaluit city council has plans to tear down the Iqaluit Humane Society building by next summer, says Mayor Kenny Bell. euthanized.

"That's the most humane thing to do," she said.

IHS building to be torn down The mayor said the animal shelter is going to be torn down "relatively soon," clarifying to Nunavut News that it is expected to be demolished

by summer 2021.

Councillor Kyle Sheppard added, an agreement needs to be immediately put in place to satisfy liability concerns since the building is going to be coming down soon.

"I hope IHS does make plans ... so they can operate in some form when that does occur," added Sheppard.

Kennedy said, "In the short term, if we were removed from the property, we would have nowhere to go and neither would our animals."

The closure of the shelter would also mean laying off all the staff - 80 per cent of whom are Inuit, she added.

The one-hour meeting concluded with Deputy

Mayor Janet Brewster making a motion for the city staff to work with IHS in order to establish a memorandum of understanding between the two parties.

As well, to establish a oneyear lease between the City of Iqaluit and IHS for the property the animal shelter is currently occupying.

Governments deny allegations of negligence in class-action lawsuit involving former teacher Maurice Cloughley pleaded guilty to nine counts of sexual assault during a mid-plea bargain in 1996; at least 50 plaintiffs have come forward in class-action suit

by Rajnesh Sharma

Northern News Services

Nunavut/NWT

The governments of Nunavut and the NWT have filed a statement of defence denying any and all allegations of negligence pertaining to the class-action lawsuit involving former teacher Maurice Cloughley.

The statement of claim alleges that these governments – the defendants – are responsible for the sexual abuse inflicted on children and youth who Maurice Cloughley taught between 1969 and 1981. He taught in the communities of Clyde River and Resolute Bay. However, the defendants are denying all allegations of sexual assault or exploitation by Cloughley against the plaintiffs – his former students.

The governments – combined under the GNWT during the dates in question because it was prior to the division of the territories – have stated no assault or exploitation by the teacher was ever disclosed to them at the time.

"Nor did the defendants, at any time, have knowledge of or cause to suspect the existence of such behaviour by Mr. Cloughley," reads the statement of defence.

The territorial governments have

Maurice Cloughley pleaded guilty to nine sexual offences during a mid-trial plea bargain in 1996. also stated if the plaintiffs suffered any losses, damages or injury, it was "not caused by or contributed to by any breach, fault or negli-

gence" from them. The statement claims "any such losses or damages were caused by some pre-existing or intervening act or cause unrelated

to the allegations in the statement of claim."

Cloughley pleaded guilty to nine sexual offences during a mid-trial

In June, Justice Paul Bychok found the defendants owed the plaintiffs, numbering at least 50, a fiduciary duty of care.

The defendants however, deny the existence of a fiduciary duty owed to the plaintiffs.

Contrary to the statement of claim, the actions of Cloughley "did not occur within the scope of his employment and/or were contrary to his work duties or responsibilities," according to the territorial governments.

The plaintiffs are seeking monetary compensation for the harm they allege was inflicted.

This includes pain and suffering, setbacks in education and employment and any expenses incurred for counselling and costs of future counselling, said Alan Regel, one of the plaintiffs' lawyers.

The defendants deny that plaintiffs are entitled to any damages.

Regel said, "Because it is a classaction, we will deal with common issues first such as if he (Cloughley) sexually assaulted any students, is the government liable?

"Did they have safeguards in place to prevent it?"

Federal approval for Chinese takeover of Hope Bay hangs in the balance Northern Affairs minister says pandemic complicates decision-making process

by Derek Neary

Northern News Services

Kitikmeot

The Government of Canada could still be a few months away from determining whether a national security review will be required before a Chinese state-owned gold miner can buy out TMAC Resources and thereby assume operational control of the Hope Bay property.

"There's an analysis that's being done now on that, an independent review through the Investment Canada Act. That review is ongoing," Vandal said.

"It's too early to tell right now. We know that it's difficult at the best of times. It's even more difficult to sign off on something like that during a pandemic."

The Kitikmeot Inuit Association still hasn't made its position on the matter publicly known.

"As we have been saying to all media, we have no comment at this time while the Investment Canada process is underway," said Fred Pedersen, the Kitikmeot Inuit Association's acting executive director on Aug. 17.

The Inuit association is a minority shareholder in TMAC and has an Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement in relation to Hope Bay, outlining royalties, job commitments, environmental standards and other measures.

The Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry has stated that the federal government will determine whether a national security review is required by Oct. 19. TMAC Resources is expecting the transaction to close by the fourth quarter of 2020 or the first quarter of 2021.

"The sale transaction will position Hope Bay for the next phase of operational improvement and capital investment required to generate a robust and long-life operation," Jason Neal, TMAC's CEO, stated.

TMAC shareholders voted 97.1 per cent in favour of the sale to Shandong Gold Mining at a special meeting on June 26.

Operational control of the Hope Bay property in the Kitikmeot hasn't yet been granted to Chinese company Shandong Gold Mining as the federal government ponders whether a national security review will be required first.

They Mean for Canada, previously told Nunavut News that China represents a "fairly totalitarian, communist dictatorship that does have legal rights and control over its companies ... China's made no secret of its intention to become a regional power and a global power, particularly under (Chinese leader) Xi Jinping."

However, Lajeunesse also acknowledged that the federal government "is facing significant pressures to bring investment into the Arctic."

The Doris North mine, like Nunavut's other operating projects, has been running at reduced levels during the pandemic. This has resulted in a reduction of the workforce.

At the end of the second quarter, the company had approximately 140 people at its Hope Bay camp, which can accommodate 345 people.

TMAC produced 28,970 ounces of gold during the second quarter and anticipates reaching 95,000 to 100,000 ounces for

the full year.

The company realized $25.4-million in positive cash flow before accounting for working capital in the second quarter. It reported earnings of 13 cents per share. TMAC finished the period with $45.6 million in cash and $168.6 million in current debt.

"We expect that the operations will be able to continue at reduced levels and generate sufficient cash flow to cover expenditures for at least the remainder of the year," Neal said.

Justice cannot be blind Public confidence in the RCMP – Nunavut's police service – hinges on full accountability and truly independent investigations Northern News Services

The Ottawa Police Service has completed its investigation into an RCMP shooting death of a Kinngait resident.

The fatal encounter took place on Feb 26. The subsequent investigation took nearly 24 weeks to complete.

During that time, the Ottawa Police Service and the RCMP were asked

by Nunavut News whether the findings in the investigation report will be released to the public. Neither police force would make that commitment.

A week after the report was submitted to the Mounties, the reasons why a life was taken in Kinngait still weren't clear and it wasn't known whether they would ever come to light.

A coroner's inquest was not guaranteed to happen.

The family of the deceased is surely looking for answers and the community's mayor says local residents deserve an explanation.

He's right.

The same will hold true for Clyde River, where a police officer drew a service pistol and shot a resident on May 5.

The opaque nature of police being the sole investigators of fellow law enforcement officers, even if they're from a different jurisdiction, has long been criticized, as it should be. There's inherent bias in police adjudicating the actions of their brethren.

An independent body with a single

The issue:

Police transparency

We say:

Must improve

police officer and several civilians would serve Nunavut much better. In the south, a Canadian Press investigation found that so-called civilian oversight panels to keep the police accountable are actually composed of former officers – 111 of 167 of these positions are filled by ex-cops.

That's obviously little better than one police force scrutinizing another.

Senator Vernon White told Nunavut News in May that he'd support the concept of a civilian oversight body assisting in investigations of RCMP conduct in Nunavut, something Justice Minister Jeannie Ehaloak said will be under consideration during the winter sitting of the legislative assembly.

White's favourable view of a civilian oversight body should carry some weight on the law enforcement side of the ledger, seeing as he was formerly Nunavut's commanding officer from 2001 to 2003 and he later served as chief of police in Ottawa.

Such a concept should have become reality long ago, but it will only hold credibility among Nunavummiut if the majority of the commis-

sion's members are Nunavummiut who bring community and cultural perspectives along with intimate knowledge of history and local issues. Having a police presence on the commission – perhaps limited to just a single seat – would hold value because officers are trained in investigative techniques that are needed.

As calls for the RCMP to use body cameras have grown and Iqaluit was the site of a Black Lives Matter protest in June, where police brutality against Inuit was also reflected on, V Division's commanding officer Amanda Jones has admitted that her officers have a challenge ahead of them in terms of building trust.

Releasing the Kinngait and Clyde River investigation reports – with reasonable redactions to protect privacy of witnesses – and fully backing the creation of a civilian oversight body will be critical steps in gaining the confidence of the public. The GN should never have signed a service agreement with Ottawa Police Service that omits a guarantee of public accountability following investigations of RCMP conduct in Nunavut.

An English dictum from the early 20th century states: "Justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done."

That principle certainly applies to these cases in Nunavut.

expense of peoples' health and well-being.

The housing situation is no different.

Twenty-one years ago, the situation of overcrowding and the lack of units in each of the communities across Nunavut have brought the family unit to its knees.

With the over-crowding, communicable diseases are high, abuse is rampant, hunger is common, children are having difficulty with learning basic concepts and the list goes on.

Twenty-one years ago – and I would suggest even longer – studies were the order of the day and remain the same today. The wait list grows bigger and longer every day and our people are frustrated and hurting.

I've said it once or twice and I'll say it again, Nunavut Housing Corporation must change status and become a department or join CGS for accountability and transparency. The bureaucracy will certainly be less and there

Make housing corp accountable Twenty-one years ago Nunavut began its quest of self-governance and went through the motions of campaigning and finally electing those most noted for leadership. I believe the heart was in the right place but soon the motifs changed and many situations are the same as when we were a fully united territory.

I understand Iqaluit is in the final stages of the establishment of a cannabis outlet run by the government of Nunavut. It didn't take long for this to be discussed and now the opening logistics fall into place and revenues will be generated.

This will be the same scenario as the liquor outlets where there is a set pricing to the products and nine times out of ten, cheaper than buying food staples or paying the rent or clothing the children.

There will probably be more openings of this sad picture right across Nunavut at the

Now that summer is pretty well over, cooler weather has arrived and it sure feels like fall weather is already back. I heard it snowed in Gjoa Haven last week, so we know our first snowfall will be here soon enough.

Residents have been boating out to mainland, hunting for caribou and few berry pickers out there. For families it is such a good time of year to get away from town to go relax and enjoy the quiet and peace out there.

For some campers and hunters, it has been a waiting game, trying to return home by boat but the windy weather had them stay back waiting for calm waters. We hope everyone is safely home or have reached their destinations and little getaway during this pandemic.

Inuit have such knowledge of the weather and land and waters. When you are going on the land, don't travel alone, always let others

Quana to the hunters know where you going and your plans on when you will return home back to town or to your cabins. An orange radio or in-reach GPS is the most handy equipment when heading out on the land, especially when trying to head to your destination or heading back to town. Be safe everyone.

Quana to all the hunters who have generously shared their harvest with family and the rest of the community. Our Elders are well looked after by our local hunters and trappers organizations. A big Quana to you all. Makes everyone happy.

School is starting up again. Both Kullik Ilihakvik and Kiilinik High Schools will be bustling with students and the halls of the quiet classrooms will once again come alive.

Welcome back to each of you and to all our teachers and staff who will I am sure keep good protection of our kids from this Covid19 that is happening all over the world. Be safe and always look out for each other.

Good luck kids, have a great year in school and be safe and healthy always. Do not be afraid to talk to someone if you are feeling sick or being bullied. Look after each other.

Have fun and enjoy your school mates and teachers. We love you all.

God Be With You Son.

Agnico Eagle launches public consultation Kangiqliniq/Rankin Inlet Agnico Eagle will be launching a fresh round of public consultations for its proposed pipeline to carry saline water from the mine to the ocean on Aug. 20.

In July the Nunavut Impact Review Board put the company's plans on hold in a written statement due to a lack of information and public consultation.

Agnico Eagle's current application requests permission to install two 16-inch, 34-kilometre-long pipes to Melvin Bay. It estimates the pipelines would discharge between 6,000 cubic metres and 12,000 cubic metres per day – the equivalent of 150 to 300 trucks per day – between May and October.

The fresh round of public consultations will take place in Rankin Inlet's community hall over the course of three sessions on Aug. 20.

The time slots are from 10 a.m. to noon, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Man dies following Iqaluit shack fire; police investigating Iqaluit Iqaluit RCMP are seeking information from the public after a man died following a shack fire in the early morning hours on Friday.

The city's fire department quickly extinguished the blaze shortly after midnight. A man inside the building, which is located on the beach, behind the Elders' residence, was provided with immediate medical care.

The individual was rushed to the Qikiqtani General Hospital by ambulance and pronounced deceased.

The Iqaluit detachment and the Iqaluit General Investigative Section are investigating the matter with assistance from the Office of the Nunavut Fire Marshal.

Witnesses or anyone with details on the incident is asked to contact police at 867-979-1111 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Kinngait shooting death investigation wraps up Community's mayor says RCMP explanation needed; report hasn't been made public

by Derek Neary

Northern News Services

Kinngait

The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) has completed its investigative report into the shooting death of a Kinngait resident who was involved in a fatal encounter with an RCMP officer on Feb. 26.

The document was turned over to Nunavut's Mounties on Aug. 11, according to OPS. Asked on Aug. 18 whether the RCMP will make public the contents of the report, Cpl. Jamie Savikataaq replied: "We are hoping OPS will have their (news) release out no later than the end of the week. They have not provided us with a date at this time."

OPS, which assigned four investigative officers to the case, didn't provide an answer to Nunavut News' Aug. 19 inquiry as to whether the document will become part of the public record.

Mark Witzaney, acting director of policy and planning with the Nunavut Department of Justice, said the release of information regarding an OPS investigation in Nunavut is the "prerogative of the Ottawa Police

Service under our agreement with them."

The Government of Nunavut has a formal arrangement to use the investigative services of OPS when RCMP conduct is in question or when an RCMP officer is responsible for a death.

"However, due to public interest in these matters, we will work with OPS and the RCMP to have the results of this investigation, not the investigation report, made available to the public," Witzaney said.

Interest in Kinngait is particularly piqued. Mayor Timoon Toonoo said the RCMP owes the community an explanation for the incident.

"Oh yes, very much so," Toonoo said. "People were shocked, very shocked."

GN not privy to full report In early March, OPS Const. Martin Dompierre told Nunavut News: "(The investigation report) will be submitted to the RCMP and if the RCMP wants to speak to it then that's their responsibility."

Witzaney said the even the GN doesn't receive a copy of the full investigative report but instead gets a

notice of the result.

"This is due to the sensitive nature of the evidence and material contained in an investigation report," he said.

In June, Witzaney told Nunavut News that, depending on the circumstances of the death, it may be subject to a mandatory coroners inquest following the completion of the police investigation.

The Office of the Chief Coroner, an independent, arms-length body, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Aug. 20.

An OPS investigation of an unrelated RCMP shooting death in Clyde River on May 5 is still ongoing, an OPS spokesperson stated on Aug. 11. That probe also involves four OPS officers.

Ottawa Police Service has forwarded its investigative report into the Feb. 26 shooting death of a Kinngait resident by a Mountie to the RCMP for review. It's unclear whether the report's findings will be made public. image courtesy of Ottawa Police Service

Drum Dancing has been a part of Inuit culture for decades. The songs (Pihit) have been passed down through generations and are the stories of hunting trips, hardships and celebration. Pamela Inuktalik and Nancy Kadlun, residents of Kugluktuk use this tool to keep themselves grounded and closer to their Elders.

Nancy Kadlun, originally from Bathurst Inlet, moved to Kugluktuk over 20 years ago where she then found employment with the Elders Centre where the Brighter Futures Program took place.

"I always wanted to learn to drum and dance as a young girl but was always too shy, they danced at the Elder's Centre, so with help from (my late father) Inuktalik, Martha

Ayaligak and Niptanatiak I was able to learn," said Nancy.

Pamela Inuktalik, originally from Uluhaktok, has made her home in Kugluktuk for many years now. Pamela began her drumming and dancing five years ago. It was important to her to learn the songs of our Elders, that is when she approached Nancy to teach her the songs and drumming of our people.

"I miss my late father Inuktalik, I needed to learn these songs to keep me closer to him," said Pamela.

The two have drummed and danced since, helping to teach those who want to learn the traditions of our people.

They recently took part instructing a Learn to Dance Session that was put on by the Parks Department in Kugluktuk.

Weekend of competitive games started off as way for community's up-and-coming U-16 team to train

by Cody Punter

Northern News Services

Kangiqliniq/Rankin Inlet

The future of baseball in Rankin Inlet looks bright after the community wrapped up its first ever fast pitch tournament earlier this month.

The game has been growing in popularity ever since Holly Mercer and her partner Robert Kabvitok started up a

youth team a few years ago.

"We thought it would be best to draft a format where everyone over the age of 14 could put their name in and be guaranteed a spot on a team," said Faulkner.

In the end, there were enough players to draft three teams, in addition to the U-16 team, which entered on its own.

"Robert Kabvitok asked if

they could enter a team for their own personal development. We ended up allowing them to do that," said Faulkner.

The tournament featured a round-robin style play followed by two semifinals. Nichol said the competition was tight throughout the weekend.

"Every game had excitement and not every game was a blowout. There were guys who

didn't even know they can play and they ended up begin really good," he said.

By the end of the round robin, the Royals were in first place, followed by the U-16 team, The Stealers, then the Yankees in third, with the Bad News Bears in fourth.

In the semifinals, the Royals, who were undefeated in round robin play, ended up

besting the Bad News Bears.

"At one point in the game, it could have gone either way but the Royals ran away with it in the end," said Nichol.

The other semi, featuring the U-16 team against the Yankees, ended up being the most exciting game of the weekend. Nichol said the game was intense from the start and it continued to heat up as it went on.

"The intensity in that game was insane," said Nichol, who played for the Royals. "We didn't expect that with a bunch of 16-year-olds."

The game remained close through the first few innings but then things started to get heated. One player from the U-16 team ended up getting tossed from the game by umpire Dave Wiseman.

"The emotions were so high that I think the kids burnt out," said Nichol.

Both Nichol and Faulkner credited Wiseman for making some tough calls and dealing with some intense situations over the weekend.

"Players didn't always agree with the calls he made.

He took crap all weekend. He got heckled a lot but he stood his ground," said Faulkner.

"Kudos to him because it wasn't easy."

The Stealers ended up dropping the bronze medal game to the Bad News Bears after their loss.

In the final, the first-seeded Royals put on a pitching clinic against the Yankees.

It was another tight game to start. The Yankees managed to score a few runs in the first inning but Lee Kreelak's pitching kept them off the score sheet for most of the game.

The Royals' Wendel Kaludjak hit a home run midway through the game that brought three people home. In the end, the team ran away with the game and ended up winning 13-3.

"We just couldn't keep up with the pitching they had," said Nichol. "We didn't expect someone to come in with that amount of skill."

Not only was the tournament a success on the field, it also drew large crowds despite cold foggy weather on the final day.

Nichol said the organizers hope to run the tournament again next year. Ideally, they would like to open it up to the rest of the Kivalliq region and invite teams from other communities.

"It looks like this is going to be an annual event," said Nichol.

You ever blow a piece of Lego out of your nose? Samir Anwar of New Zealand did.

It all happened while he was eating a muffin with some sugar on it earlier this month. Some of it got up his nose and it began bothering him. When he went to go blow his nose, out came a small piece which looks like one of the arms on a Lego person. His father told the story of how the piece became lodged up his son's nostril two years ago after he with James McCarthy put it up there and how doctors told him it would pass through his body naturally. It didn't until he fired it out into a Kleenex. Moral of the story: if you want to see what's really in your body, eat a sugar-dusted muffin.

The San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers met up on Aug. 17 with the Padres coming out on top, 14-4. Fernando Tatis Jr. was the star of the show for the Padres as he hit two home runs, the second one being a grand slam.

But that's the one which caused some totally unnecessary heartburn for some at the park. You see, Tatis Jr. broke one of baseball's many unwritten rules when he did it.

Tatis Jr. ran the count to three balls and no strikes. Anyone who's ever played baseball will tell you that you take the next pitch to give yourself a strike. It's not an official rule but it's one which 99 players out of 100 will always do because, well, that's what you do, apparently.

Count me as the one person in that group that would do what Tatis Jr. did. I never took a 3-0 pitch in my life when I played because there was a 100 per cent chance it would be the best pitch I would see during the entire at-bat.

Why? Because it was going to be a big, meaty fastball. All I had to do was time the swing and watch it fly.

Here's why I never sat on a 3-0 fastball: I take that pitch and it's a strike and now, it's 3-1. The pitcher will almost always come back with some kind of good set-up pitch – change-up, curve – and I'm either gonna whiff or foul it off. Now, I'm at 3-2. Guess what? I've literally set myself up to ground out into a double play to end the inning.

Genius, right?

Rangers manager Chris Woodward said his team didn't like that. So what? Tough by-product. Tell your pitcher to come up with a better pitch sequence then. Even Jayce Tingler, Tatis Jr.'s own manager, wasn't a fan of what his player did. Okay, coach, tell him to watch a fastball next time. Good motivation.

Several players, past and present, came out in support of Tatis Jr. and good for them because he did nothing wrong ... except apologize for it. That's the only thing that brings this down.

Never apologize for being smart.

Naughty, naughty ...

While taking a 3-0 pitch in baseball may be an unwritten rule players should break all the time, the one rule you don't monkey with is pissing off the locker room. Mike Clevinger and Zach Plesac of the Cleveland Indians found out the hard way earlier this month why.

These two geniuses thought it would be a good idea to leave the team's bubble and go out for a night on the town in Chicago earlier this month. Plesac was sent home via a car service (Lyft or Uber) after being caught trying to sneak back into the team's hotel while Clevinger was told to quarantine after the team learned he, too, was out.

The whole thing didn't sit well with the locker room when they found out what happened, especially when Plesac took to Instagram and tried to blame the media (who else?) for things getting blown out of proportion.

Both players are now with the team's alternate training site in Eastlake, Ohio and a decision has not been made on what role they will play if they return but suffice it to say that their teammates aren't too happy. Pitcher Adam Plutko told reporters shortly after that both of them lied to the clubhouse and have to earn their way back in.

Take it from me: when you hear something like that from a player, you know you've stepped in a dogpile. The locker room hands out its own punishment and you will eat it, no matter what it is. You don't like it? Leave. That's where differences are dealt with – in private and everyone has a say. Almost everyone has a locker room story to tell but athletes know better. What happens there, stays there.

And finally ...

Good Idea: Tiger Woods' son winning his first tournament.

Bad Idea: Tiger Woods' son winning his first tournament.

Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres did something awful in a game on Aug. 17. He hit a grand slam with a count of three balls and no strikes.

Remember when Tiger Woods was once the most dominant golfer on the planet? Welp, his 11-year-old son could be next in line.

Charlie Woods won a US Golf Kids-sanctioned tournament in Florida on Aug. 9 with a score of three-under-par.

It was a nine-hole tournament – shortened by rain – but the younger Woods had a clean card with three birdies and no bogeys.

Oh, Tiger was caddying for his son, in case you needed to know that.

Now, before you get all excited about the second coming, please remember that he's 11 years old. Winning a nine-hole junior tournament does not mean Charlie Woods will take down Augusta National in five years or so, just like his old man has done more than once.

He's a child and let's let him be a child. Don't turn him into one of the kids you would see in a documentary like Trophy Kids which, for the record, is one of the most heartbreaking docs I've ever watched.

Until next time, folks ...

$27 million invested in energy efficiency Federal and territorial governments commit to improving and introducing renewable energy projects in 45 GN-owned buildings

Nunavut

The South Baffin Energy Management Project will be receiving about $18.3 million through the Low Carbon Economy Leadership Fund.

"Our government is partnering with the Government of Nunavut to bring forward this positive initiative," Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal said as he announced the funding Aug. 20. "It is going to cut greenhouse gases. It is going to create jobs, and it's a step in the right direction in terms of environmental sustainability."

The project will help to improve energy efficiency and introduce renewable energy in 45 buildings owned by the GN, he said. These buildings are located in the communities of Iglulik, Kimmirut, Kinngait, Pangnirtung, Sanirajak and Sanikiluaq.

The GN's Department of Community and Government Services

is contributing $8.6 million to the project. The department is providing support with retrofits such as implementation of solar panels, applying mechanical and control system upgrades, upgrading lighting to LEDs, and helping with the installation of water-saving fixtures.

Additionally, measures will be taken to include retrofitting the Federal Building in Iqaluit, which is owned by the GN, outfitting buildings with solar photovoltaic systems and equipping one building with a solar hot water system.

Vandal said, "Over the lifetime of this project, the Government of Nunavut will see a cumulative reduction of about 24,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions." That is equivalent to removing about 7,000 passenger cars off the road for one year, he explained.

The project is also expected to create 300 jobs in the territory.

"That's a positive thing," said the minister. "Employment is a huge

issue, especially in this era that we are in."

The project started in August 2019 and is expected to be completed

by March 2022.

The goal is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, emphasized Vandal.

"So I'm positive, there's going to be many more agreements signed and positive projects coming forward in the future."

The South Baffin Energy Management Project is expected to reduce up to 24,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, says Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal. image sourced from pm.gc.ca
