Spiffy new backdrop unveiled

The Hamlet of Rankin Inlet debuted a new backdrop in the community hall in early August. The stage-spanning image is a photograph captured by David Kakuktinniq Jr. showing lights on display in a Rankin Inlet evening. Pictured with the image is photographer David Kakuktinniq Jr. The hamlet thanked the Department of Economic Development and Transportation for its support in bringing in this new backdrop.

Impaired driving prevalent

Rankin Inlet

Social media was abuzz over the long weekend about various instances of alleged impaired driving.

After Kivalliq News queried the Nunavut RCMP for statistics, the RCMP stated there were eight files related to impaired driving in Rankin Inlet in the first week of August.

National immunization month

Nunavut

August is National Immunization Awareness Month in Canada.

“Each year, this month brings attention to the fact that vaccines have saved millions of lives,” stated the Government of Nunavut in a news release.

“The Department of Health would like to remind Nunavummiut that vaccines are safe and effective and provide the best protection against severe disease and illness.”

Well-Child clinics provide immunization for infants and young children in Nunavut at regular visits, stated the GN.

“Infants and children follow an in-depth immunization schedule that ensures they are protected from disease. These visits are based on Nunavut’s immunization schedule. Vaccines protect children, adults, families, and communities against serious diseases specifically those at highest risk. Several diseases like whooping cough, measles, and HPV can be prevented if you are vaccinated during childhood. Adults also need to think about seasonal vaccines such as the vaccine for influenza. Tetanus and diphtheria vaccines should be administered in adulthood after every 10 years. A pneumonia-preventing vaccine given in childhood should be given once again after the age of 50.”

There is also a recommended vaccine schedule for babies and children, which is outlined in the Childhood Vaccine Booklet. Anyone can request a copy of their vaccine record by calling their local public health unit.

If you’d have told a young Lynette Didur that she’d be a fitness instructor and competing in athletic competitions, she would have laughed.

“I always tried to do the least as possible,” said the now-fitness instructor and kettlebell competitor about gym class.

But later in high school, a bodybuilding friend introduced her to fitness. She got involved in different types of dances like belly, ballroom and Zumba.

“Everything pretty much from the end of high school onwards was physical activity,” said Didur. “A blur of gym and fitness and just becoming a healthy-minded individual.”

She taught her first fitness class at 19 and said it’s been a great ride of learning from clients and engaging in different activities over 20-plus years.

Didur has been leading fitness classes for 10 years in Rankin Inlet, trying several activities such as kickboxing and boot camps, and now doing kettlebell.

“For a non-competitive person, it was more attainable,” said Didur, comparing it to dance and having to hit certain numbers.

Competitive kettlebell marathons can last for 30 or 60 minutes, doing a set number of repetitions with the correct form, she said.

“As a pharmacy tech, I love numbers,” said Didur, who originally came to Rankin Inlet in that profession and has since started a young family here.

“I love doing formulas in my head. I love the science behind it. Kettlebell sport, you have numbers, you have coefficients, you have to hit certain repetitions per minute. That’s all up my alley.”

It’s like her dance world, but better.

The hardest part is the mentality, she said, and not zoning out during the long performances. Didur likes to feed on the crowd’s energy and smile around at competitions.

On Aug. 12 in Toronto, Didur will compete for a spot on Team Canada for Kettlebell Sport. She’s doing a half-marathon and a one-arm long cycle with a 16 kg kettlebell. It’s all strength and endurance training, she says, and it will be the first time she can compete in-person instead of online.

“To be able to go in-person, they’ll actually see how well you perform under pressure, see how well you perform with other people on the side of you,” said Didur.

“Because if you do end up going to Europe to compete in the worlds, they have competitions all the time at different times so one person could be doing a five-minute, you could be doing a 10-minute and there could be a marathon beside you, and you need to be able to show that you can keep to your lane, do what you need to do, remember what you’re doing, work with your nerves and represent Canada the best possible way.”

If she makes it on the national team, she has a year from August to attend a world’s competition.

Kettlebell has exploded in popularity in the last decade, she said, adding that women tend to enjoy it because it’s endurance-based cardio that builds strength.

As a fitness instructor, her specialty is inclusivity. She’s adamant

that no matter one’s circumstances, whether it’s impairment or injury, there’s a way they can work out their body positively.

“I can’t be told no,” she said.

Anyone can start small, after all.

“There is no competition in fitness,” said Didur. “You’re being the best that you can be and there’s nobody else competing with you.”

Freaks win slo-pitch nationals in Nunavut-first

While junior slo-pitch was roaring in Rankin Inlet, the Freaks were down in Winnipeg this weekend doing what no Nunavut team has done before: winning the coed Slo-Pitch Nationals! The Freaks lost to the Churchill Bandits in the first semifinal, knocking the Nunavut contenders down to the loser’s bracket, before returning to defeat Churchill twice in a row in the double-elimination finals — 10-9 and 16-15 — to win the championship.

High scores for bannock in the park

Nunavut Parks hosts cooking class taught by Charmaine Okatsiak

Bannock was a lot easier to make than Patricia Kennedy thought it would be.

“Not as good as some bannock that I’ve had in the past, so I think I need to keep practising, but overall it was really good,” she said at the Nunavut Parks’ ‘Learn to Make Bannock’ event at the Elders Cabin in Rankin Inlet Wednesday, Aug. 2.

She was in town for the week to run a science camp and thought it would be fun to swing by the event.

Ester Issaluk says she doesn’t know how to cook.

“It’s my first time and I like it,” she said about her bannock, rating it 100 per cent.

She was thankful to the hosts and said she would try the recipe at home.

Under the guidance of Charmaine Okatsiak, participants learned just the right levels of ingredients to use and how to properly fry the bannock, plus what extras to add in.

Maryjane Haduca had chocolate chips and raisins in hers.

“Easy enough when you’re watching someone,” she said about making bannock, giving it a “confident 10.”

“First time making it and then first time knowing that you can put other things in it.”

It’s her first full summer here as she approaches her one-year Rankin Inlet anniversary, so she figured she’d join some activities.

“It’s just learning tradition and enjoying the summer,” she said.

Okatsiak was pleased with her apprentices, saying everyone was making good-looking bannock and appeared to be having fun. The smiles would attest to that.

She remembers her father teaching her to make bannock as a teenager.

“I started to try on my own,” said Okatsiak. “He would watch me and guide me and it went from there.”

It’s all in the consistency of the dough, she says. A common mistake is making it more like a pancake.

“Learn from your family members,” Okatsiak advised, adding not to be afraid to make mistakes along the way. “Learn from Elders. Teach each other.”
