by Cody Punter Northern News Services Kangiqliniq/Rankin Inlet There were lots of smiles to go around last weekend as Rankin Inlet's hunters and trappers organization took a group of Elders out for a boat trip to surrounding islands. "To see the Elders happy and the brightness on their face. I wasn't missing that," said HTO manager Andrew Akerolik. The trip is part of a series of trips the HTO is offering to Elders throughout the end of the summer. The first one was originally scheduled to be on Aug. 16 but was rescheduled to Aug. 17 because of bad weather. The group visited Marble Island, 25 kilometres from Rankin, as well as Angijuut, an island 10 kilometres northwest of Marble Island. All of the Elders on the trip had been boating before but for some it had been a long time. "Some of them it had been 10 years since they were on a boat," said Akerolik. "Some people said they did not think they would ever go on a boat again." Each boat had a guide and a helper on hand to make sure the Elders felt comfortable. While the guides had knowledge of the land, it was the Elders who ended up sharing their stories and knowledge of past trips. The group even ended up catching a caribou while they were out. "They eventually told stories about being out on the land and on boat rides," said "One of the guides mentioned that to me. He was excited and happy for the Elders." One of the famous traditions of visiting Marble Island is that people must crawl onto shore if it is your first time there. "All the Elders had been there before so that was no issue for them," said Akerolik. Akerolik, who did not join the group for the ride, said he called some of the Elders a few days after the trip. "They were all excited," he said. Akerolik said there are at least two more boat trips planned for Elders. The HTO is currently requesting anyone interested to sign up. Doing something like this for Elders is extremely important for Akerolik. "They are the backbone of where we are today. They were brought up here and they grew up here. "They know the land and the sea and the water. They are the back- photos courtesy of Andrew Akerolik bone of our traditional knowledge. We can't forget them." Some of the participants in Rankin Inlet HTO's excursion to Marble Island are Yvonne Mamgark, left, The HTO is also planning on doing a series of trip with youth in Silu Autut, Alice Ipkornerk, Hannah Benoit and Cecilia Ayaruak. the next few weeks. Any youth interested in signing up can do so at the HTO office or at MUI. ᐃᓚᖏᑦ ᐃᓐᓇᑐᖃᐃᑦ ᑲᖏᖅᖠᓂᕐᒥ ᐊᖑᓇᓱᒃᑎᒃᑯᑦ "It's an eye-opener how much we forget our youth and our Elders," ᑲᑎᒪᔨᖏᑦᑕ ᐅᒥᐊᖅᑐᕈᑎᓚᐅᖅᑕᖏᑦ ᐅᖅᓱᕆᐊᓄᑦ said Akerolik.

John Thompson patrolled the sidelines for Thompson's trademark character trait was the towel over Georgetown University's men's basketball team the right shoulder. He was an imposing man – 6 ft., 10 in. from 1972 to 1999. He took a terrible team and tall – but it was the towel. Even if you didn't know anything turned it into one of the most formidable ever about Thompson, you knew about the towel. Another character trait was his rather liberal use of pro- seen. fanity, something a lot of coaches will tell you they do but photo courtesy of Georgetown University don't like doing. Thompson never shied away from it. In put- ting this together, I read a story about how Jaren Jackson, one of Thompson's former players, jokingly thought his name was "motherf-----r" for the first few practices. Dikembe Mutombo, another Georgetown alumni, apparently laughed when some- one asked him about Thompson's use of salty vernacular. Thompson didn't care. He didn't care about the language, didn't care what you thought about his team, didn't care what you thought about his coaching style. That's why I like him – the sort of person whose last crap was given a long time ago and if you look hard enough, you'll find it running down the highway somewhere. Thompson was a huge believer in education; according to the school's athletic department, 76 of the 78 players who played all four years of their eligibility under Thompson graduated with a degree. He also kept a deflated basketball on his desk to remind players that a basketball career rested on a "tenuous nine pounds of air" but the degree was a neces- sity. He wasn't shy about protesting, either. Recall when he walked off the court one night in 1989 to show his displeas- ure against Proposition 42, a rule brought in that would deny athletic scholarships to students who didn't meet certain academic requirements. Thompson felt it would hurt students from poorer backgrounds and a lot of people agreed with him. Count me in among that group. People who don't get how scholarships work will tell you the reason players want the scholarship is so they can screw around for a couple of years, enter the draft and make a killing in endorsements. I've said this before and it bears repeating: you need to assume that your child will not make it in professional sports. It's not impossible but it's close to such. A lot of student athletes hope for the scholarship because it guarantees them a chance to get a four-year education with a degree at the end of it so they can make something of themselves. Oh and if a player was late for practice, they would feel his wrath.
