Hay River hospital labelled
modern health centre
Government employees worried patients may be sent elsewhere for more treatments;
questions whether jobs are at stake
Kristen Campbell
editor@hayriverhub.com
A GNWT employee is concerned downgrading Hay River's
hospital to a health centre will have
detrimental effects on the quality of
care in the community.
The Department of Health and
Social Services confirmed on May
8 that the new $49.5 million facility will be a "modern health centre, which will continue to provide
the existing primary and secondary
care that is currently provided to
Hay River residents."
Damien Healy, the department's
manager of planning and communications, said there are only two
hospitals in the NWT – Stanton Territorial in Yellowknife and Inuvik
Regional.
The concerned government
employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said, although
there has been no indication that
services will be reduced, Hay
River residents already have to
travel enough for health care, and
should the community receive a
smaller facility she said she is concerned there will be more travelling
involved.
"I have concerns about access to
health care options," she said. "We
have to travel enough as is for health
care. Are all these people going to
have to be shipped out for everything? Or, will (the hospital) still be
offering the same services and same
number of beds?"
She used Fort Smith as an
example, a health centre where
many patients must be sent out
for services that are currently provided in Hay River – dialysis for
example.
"What will happen to our dialysis unit," she asked.
In addition to health care, she
expressed concerns over jobs, as
many in town are employed by the
Hay River Health and Social Services Authority.
"Are there going to be changes
at the clinic," she said. "How is it
going to affect jobs? The nursing
staff, administrative staff, kitchen
staff, cleaning staff. It's going to
affect everyone in this community."
The closing date for the designbuild contract for the new Hay River
facility was May 10, and Healy said
there was plenty of interest in the
project.
"Based upon the number of
inquiries on the project, (the Department of Public Works and Services)
can confirm there has been a great
deal of interest in the project from
local and Northern consulting and
construction industries," he stated
in an e-mail.
The closing date for the request
for proposals (RFP) was originally
set for March 29, but Healy stated it
was extended to allow the interested
parties to seek further information
for their proposals.
"The RFP was extended to allow
time to respond to a number of
technical inquiries raised by the
proponents which needed clarification in order for them to complete
their proposals," he said.
Representatives from the Hay
River Health and Social Services
Authority were unwilling to comment on the new facility until a formal news release is made public.

proposals was moved to May 10.
The art of moosehide tanning
Project to teach the art of traditional hide tanning
Angele Cano
reporter@hayriverhub.com
A group of interested participants
will be fleshing, scraping and stretching their way to create a recently
withering commodity.
The Hay River Artisan Society
(HRAS) is putting the call out to
those interested in learning the fine
art of traditional moose hide tanning.
The hides are valuable, durable,
and labour intensive, but the skill set
is invaluable, said society member
Franziska Ulbright.
The program will be free to anyone who wishes to sign up.
Traditionally tanned and smoked
finished hides, which have increased
in value, are difficult to procure and
are becoming scarcer.
"In order to do some beadwork,
mukluks and traditional arts and
crafts, you have to have that leather,
and there is a great a shortage of it
around here," she said. "The commercially tanned leather is not as
good quality. It's so much thinner and
weaker, so there's a very practical
reason behind this."
Once participation numbers are
determined, the society will seek
funding from the Department of
Industry, Tourism and Investment
(ITI) through its entrepreneurs and
economic development program.
The department has previously
funded similar programs and supports programs that promote traditional economy, said Lloyd Jones,
South Slave superintendent for ITI.
Jones confirmed the supply of
traditionally tanned moose hide has
dwindled.
The cost of a traditionally tanned
hide has increased to around $1,800
from between $800 and $1,200 for
the labour intensive process.
However, Jones said the money
isn't in finishing the product, but in
the fine arts the material is used to
create.
"Those who are skilled at tanning the leather are working for a
minimum wage," said Jones. "The
NWT economy was pretty busy with
development and exploration in past
years. When those things slow down
people go back to what used to
support them. The traditional economy keeps some small communities
alive."
The project will also incorporate
storytelling and shared meals.
Course instructor Kathy Mouse,
originally from Fort Simpson but
now living in Hay River, has been
learning and practising the skill since
the age of 14.
The program will take place in
Paradise Gardens between May 21
and June 6 during evenings and
weekends. Although participants
will be subject to some heavy work,
the project will not go for 14 days
straight. Those interested should
contact Ulbright or Mouse.
The society has acquired threeplus hides of both moose and muskox, but it is looking for at least two
more to be donated.
The HRAS is a small group dedicated to developing and promoting
artists and fine arts and crafts, and
skill training and development within the community.

Beats and buckets
Low-cost drumming group launches in Hay River
Angele Cano
Sounds of a different sort echoed
off the walls on Hay River's main
street on Saturday.
That's because towards the
end of a group music lesson, the
newly-initiated bucket drummers
relocated their circle from beneath
fluorescent lighting in the community hall to the sunshine of the late
afternoon.
On May 12, fiddle teacher and
bucket drumming enthusiast Linda
Duford led a group of more than
10 beginners and a few experts
through some basic music theory
and beginner beats. It wasn't long
before their rhythms were together
and solid.
The intro workshop and jam sessions are usually held in conjunction
with twice-a-year camps held by the
Kole Crook Fiddle Association.
However, participant and coorganizer George Collins was more
interested in holding a session dedicated to bucket drumming.
Collins, a self-described frus-
trated drummer who was kicked out
of his high school band, said he was
drawn to the activity and had been
trying to get into a bucket drumming class for years.
"It's relatively easy to pick up,
and for an old guy like me," he said.
"All you need is buckets and a few
sticks."
Duford demonstrated the different tones and sounds that can be
created from hitting several different parts of the bucket.
Throughout the few hours of the
workshop, participants of all ages
gathered with wooden drumsticks,
and squeezed old ice cream containers or plastic buckets between
their knees to learn basic theory,
timing and beats. They progressed
to a rock 'n' roll beat and then
tackled a calypso rhythm.
Duford plans to hold another
bucket drumming session early
this fall and hopes to incorporate
fiddles.
"They go hand-in-hand," she
said. "It's possible to have a fourpart drum and the fiddle to carry
a melody."
Relay for Life volunteers
Hay River is hosting the Relay
for Life event this year in the South
Slave, and organizers are looking for
volunteers. People are needed for
set-up, security, entertainment, food
and clean-up. Relay for Life — a
fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer
Society — will be happening on
June 15 on the track at Diamond Jenness Secondary School.
BMX/skate park
public meeting
The Town of Hay River is hosting
another public meeting regarding a
proposed BMX/skate park.
Discussion is to include usage of
the park, developing a formal committee, location and design.
The meeting is being held to
determine whether there is in fact a
need for the park.
The meeting will be held on May
23 at 7 p.m. at the community hall.

This year's breakup of the Hay River
didn't seem quite right. Not that there
was anything particularly hazardous
or unusual about the ice actually clearing out of the river, including in those
moments when the ice powerfully
rushes towards Great Slave Lake.
All that was pretty much the same
as in years past. In fact, the breakup
this spring was rather uneventful.
The strange thing this year was that
'Red' McBryan wasn't here to see it
and explain what was happening for
the rest of us. For more than 50 years,
McBryan – who died last year at the
age of 92 – was the oracle that Hay
Riverites depended on for an expert
analysis of any flooding threat posed
by the river.
Each spring, he would fly the length
of the river and offer an assessment
of what might be heading the town's
way. At public meetings as breakup
approached, people always looked to
him for the last word on the subject.
The fact that McBryan was not here
this year gives pause to consider the
knowledge that is lost anytime Hay
River loses an elder, whether it be
knowledge about the river breakup,
an aboriginal language, the history of
the community or anything else.
We should all take the time to listen more closely to elders while we
can, and absorb all the knowledge
they have to give.

Hay River residents need to take advantage of
the upcoming spring clean up to properly get rid of
the waste that is building up in town. As the snow
melts, the garbage and waste tossed aside before
winter's arrival shows its ugly face. Ditches are full
of coffee cups and pop cans, garbage bags and
tires, and other various items.
At a time when we should be embracing spring's
arrival, many are expressing embarrassment and
disgust with the current condition of the town.
We have a landfill for the public to discard their
larger waste items, so why are people using the
sides of our roads?
Ecology North is working to get more recycling
initiatives in town, and Tri-R Recycling already offers
recycling services for cans and bottles.
And now with spring, the
town will be conducting
editorial its annual pickup of yard
waste. This year, electronic
waste will also be included
with a limit of two items per household for pickup.
Hazardous household waste will also have a dropoff location.
The community needs to think about its future
before we drop things off on the side of the road or
in a trail. We have several options available to us,
and we need to safely dispose of these items.
It may seem harmless, but ditching an aerosol
spray paint can on the side of the road can cause
chemicals to seep into the ground and into our
water system.
Think about the effect these chemicals can have
on us, the environment and the animals with which
we share this land.
Let's work together to promote recycling, to
properly get rid of hazardous household waste and
clean up our community. There is no reason for
abandoning your trash by the road or on the trails.
Laziness isn't an acceptable reason and, if it is due
to a lack of education, more information on pickup
is available at town hall.
Let's get the community cleaned up, Hay River.
No one wants to be staring at piles of garbage while
driving around.

Convicted for the cure
Relay for Life team looking to lock people up to raise funds
Kristen Campbell
Do you know someone who
is guilty of a crime? Maybe
they always leave the toilet
seat up. Maybe they always
take the last mug of coffee at
work. Or maybe you just want
to see them behind bars.
Well, now you have your
chance to convict them.
Nikki Ashton and Dayna
Haley are two of the masterminds behind the Convicted
for the Cure event in support
of Relay for Life, a fundraiser
for the Canadian Cancer Society.
For a donation of at least
$20, irritated individuals are
able to lock up their friends,
family or co-workers by filling
out a warrant for their arrest.
If the warrant is filled out
by the end of the day on May
16, two arresting officers will
pick up the guilty individual
the next day, May 17, and
throw them behind bars.
It may not be a real prison, but the perpetrator will
be placed in a prison in the
NorthMart parking lot.
They will have the opportunity to post bail, but, if the
amount donated for their arrest
is not matched, they will have
to spend an hour in the clink.
"If they can't raise the
money, they will have to stay
in jail for the full hour," said
King.
But do not worry. Should
a co-worker or loved one be
tossed in the slammer, you
will still have the opportunity
to see them during the jail's
visiting hours of 11 a.m. and
2 p.m.
"We will also be having a
wiener roast and bake sale,"
said King.
The fundraising idea is
something that Ashton said
she has seen in town before,
but never used to raise money
for Relay for Life. And so far,
the response has been positive.
"We've had a few workplace groups come together to
get someone in the workplace
convicted," said King. "But we
are still hoping for more."
She said the arresting
officers will be visiting the
offenders' places of work and
reading their crimes from warrants before taking them into
custody.
Those looking to fill out a
warrant have until the end of
the day non May 16 to head
to Lah Dee Dah and grab a
form.

Prior to the May 14 Committee of
the Whole meeting, a public hearing
was held regarding two properties
which are proposed to be rezoned.
Bylaw 1811 and Bylaw 1812 both
had amendments, which would see
the town.
The five year plan's goal is to
establish a basis for tourism, due to
the turbulent economic times currently seen worldwide.
Kerswill referenced the previous
tourism plan which was last updated
in 1999 and said the proposed outcome of that plan had not been met.
In a brief presentation, Kerswill
outlined the main points of the document saying the target is not on inter-
national visitors, but on friends and
family coming into town.
"What we want to do is capture these
people for more than a day," he said.
He also recommended that the town
hire someone to implement the tourism plan and develop relationships
with local business and tour operators
along with NWT tourism to strengthen the role Hay River has in terms of
attracting visitors.
Coun. Mike Maher agreed with
Kerswill's presentation, saying Hay
River has all the pieces – they just
need to be put together.
"I think there's some really good
ideas to work with in the community," said Maher. "It's just a matter of
packaging them together and sprucing
them up."

Under the Recreation Board Committee meeting minutes, the Pine
Point Ball Park twinning proposal
was tabled and a recommendation
made to go ahead with completing a
survey to see if the project is a viable
option.
Council has also opted to hold a
meeting at a date yet to be decided, to
discuss the BMX/Skate Park, the ball
park and the recreation centre project
as these are all items requiring decisions from council in the near future.

Northern victories in the south
Students compete at indoor soccer tournament in Grande Prairie
Angele Cano
The southern NWT would
benefit from an indoor soccer
pitch, says a Hay River coach.
Students from Hay River,
Fort Smith and other Northern communities travelled
south to Grande Prairie, Alta.,
on the weekend of April 28
to take part in Earnie's Rock
Around the Clock Indoor Soccer Tournament against most-
ly Northern schools.
Both boys and girls teams
from Princess Alexandra
School in Hay River returned
with second-place finishes
in the tournament – in girls
under-14 and boys under-14.
The PA Predators were the
only predominantly Grade 7
teams, said coach Tara Boudreau.
The teams had to play extra
hard against the mixed teams
of Grade 7 and 8 students.
The registered teams at
the tournament were mostly
from the North and northern
Alberta.
Boudreau said many teams
could have saved on mileage
if there were an indoor facility
in the NWT.
"If there were a soccer pitch
in Hay River, we wouldn't
need to travel anywhere," she
said.
The players from Princess
Alexandra believed their close
second-place finishes were
due to good teamwork and
sportsmanship.
"We all know each other
really well and we know how
we play," said Daniel DaRosa.
"I think we did really well as
a team."
The girls had a different
way of building each other up
before heading onto the field.
They alternate cheering and
encouraging each other during games.
"We're like family when
it comes to sports," said Bryn
Hill.
Even though three team
members sustained injuries
and many felt the games were
poorly reffed, they still made it
to the gold-medal game. Most
of the girls will be attending
soccer camps in the summer
and are looking forward to
taking on high school soccer.
"We're going to be way better," said Jacquie Larocque.
Other teams from Hay
River also participated in the
tournament.
The Ecole Boreale Falcons took gold in the girls
under-14 division; Diamond
Jenness Secondary School
took gold in the boys under16 division, silver in the boys
under-19 division and bronze
in the boys under-14 division;
and a Hay River team took
silver in the girls under-19
division.

More than 10 girls gathered
in Doug Weiderman Hall on
May 3 for a photo shoot featuring dresses they designed
and constructed out of several sheets of newspaper, tape,
paint and sparkles.
The girls in the photo shoot
are participants of PHAB —
a program that focuses on
physical health, art and beauty
for young girls. The dresses are
a production of a fashion workshop held earlier in the year.
The young designers will
be modelling their dresses at a
fashion show on May 13.

Grade AAA players
Three young Hay River athletes reach next level of hockey
Angele Cano
For most, the hockey season has ended, but for three
novice players it’s only just beginning.
Hay River’s Kaden Beck, Conner McKay-Ivanko and
Declan Munro have been selected to play with the North
Country Storm and Stars, two AAA-level novice teams
in Grande Prairie, Alta.
They will travel south weekly for six weeks to
practise, play tournaments in Edmonton, Calgary and
Red Deer, and build their hockey skills before a welldeserved summer break.
"They travel every weekend for either a practice or a
tournament," said Huskies coach Kim Ivanko.
This is the first time Beck tried out for and made the
AAA level novice team, because he wanted a different
opportunity from minor hockey.
Munro, who will be playing with the AAA team for
the second time, said he doesn’t tire from the long weeks
of school, road trips and hockey practice.
"My dad’s encouragement keeps me going," he said.
This is McKay-Ivanko’s first time with the team.
"Our coach always says, ‘Skate hard, all the time,
every time,’" he said.
The three were among 70 players trying out for
spots.
Terrence Courtoreille coached the three eight-yearolds for two years.
"The coaches down south would definitely be looking for technique, leadership skills and also a level of
maturity," said Courtoreille. "Those three have all of
those characteristics."
They have already attended a tournament – the
Edmonton Cup on the weekend of April 28 – and a
practice in Grande Prairie. They will also be heading
to a tournament in Calgary on May 19 and another later
in Red Deer.
Next year, the three will be moving up a division to
atoms.

River Huskies

The program involves
insights, exercises and practices to help individuals sharing personal experiences
in a safe and emotionally
supportive setting. BugginsGodin, also a participant in
the last workshop, said she
had many past hurts from
which to heal. A victim of
childhood sexual abuse, she
suffered the after-effects
throughout her youth and
young-adult life.
"I wanted to suppress and
run from it. I became addicted to crack cocaine and alcohol to cope," she said. "I had
to learn how to love myself
again and forgive myself and
the person who did this to
me, and not to carry the baggage of shame."
The 29-year-old said she
is now clean and sober and
wants to use her experiences
to be of service to others.
"What I have to offer right
now is my story," she said. "I
want to educate myself in the
future to be of service and
support to others."
The Bernards' seminars
are dual-purpose — to help
heal the hearts and minds of
people so they can find their
true self, and to develop natural leadership skills that can
only come with healing.
The sessions are free,
although registration is
required. They are set for the
Chief Lamalice Complex all

Elders give voice to their concerns
Hay River represented at mock parliament in legislature
Angele Cano
On May 10, three elders
from the Hay River area
spoke out at the territorial
legislature.
They were among elders
from across the NWT
attending this year's Elders
Parliament, a mock session
in the territorial legislature
in Yellowknife. The session
had elders represent MLAs to
bring forward issues affecting their communities.
Two Hay Riverites, Audrey Berens and Deloris Downey, and Georgina Fabian of
K'atlodeeche First Nation,
attended the mock parliament.
Berens spoke for her constituency and said she was
surprised how much NWT
communities, large and small,
have in common.
"A lot of issues in and
around Hay River are right
across the board," she said.
"Someone in Paulatuk would
talk about the issue of elder
abuse and housing as they
would in Hay River. The concern is there."
Berens identified the coming rent increase for seniors
in public housing as an issue
that needs to be addressed.
She said many South Slave
elders, who have been living
rent free in public housing,
are on fixed incomes and suffer from physical and mental
illnesses.
"We found that the rental increase was completed
without proper community
consultation," said Berens.
"We're asking for proper
consultation and to have a
say. We're asking how we
can start respecting these
elders and helping them out.
It will for sure affect the
seniors and elders in the community."
After discussing the issue,
the group brought forward a
draft motion.
Berens thinks the message
will resonate.
"Even though it was a
mock session it was hard not
to hear us," she said. "Ministers were present. But elders
need to know that all of this
was mock. I think the affected parties need to get together and lobby this government,
and draw up petitions so the
government will be forced
to look."
The mandate of the Elders
Parliament is twofold: to
teach elders the workings of
the legislature but also to give
them a chance to voice their
concerns to MLAs.
"It's an outreach program
to bring people in the NWT
to learn from the legislature,"
said Jessica Fournier, acting
public affairs and communications adviser for the legislative assembly.
"They are elders, so we
are learning as much from
them as they are from us."

Don't let cheater bring you down
I have been going out with a friend of the family for a
month. I feel something about him I haven't felt in a long time.
He says he wants a relationship with me, but he isn't planning
on leaving his wife because he did that once and she asked
him to come back. He also told me he cheated on his wife a
year ago.
He says he doesn't love her anymore and doesn't really trust
women because the woman he cheated with flirted with other
men. He says he cares about me but isn't in love with me. Even
though I know this, I can't stop thinking about him.

is considered a family friend, because a married man who
commits adultery with one woman and proposes it to another
is no man for you.
Tell your family what you told us. Tell his wife he is hitting on you, and you are sick of it. Tell everyone you know
he cheats on his wife, and when he does he blames the other
woman as "untrustworthy." Take temptation out of your way
by making him not want to have anything to do with you.
You are allowing a bad person to assume the superior position in your life, and that is something you should never do.
Some people don't think they deserve good things. That's the
problem you need to focus on with a life coach, therapist or
role model who can teach you how to value yourself.
