Samsung denies human bones at site, artifacts disappear

By Jen Mt. Pleasant CAYUGA – Just over a month ago, bones were discovered at one of Samsung’s solar farms near Cayuga, Ontario. Could they be human remains or simply animal bones? Samsung eventually stated that the bones that were found were non-human in origin. But initially, Samsung denied that bones were found at all. When the Two Row Times contacted them to get confirmation of the existence of the bones, they were told by Marcus Staviss who is Account Director, Counsel Public Affairs Inc., “This is not the case as far as I know – and I’ve also asked internally and with Samsung’s partners and no one knows this to be the case either.” Later on that same day, however, Staviss changed his story and confirmed that bones had indeed been found.

Staviss stated, “Remains were indeed found at one of Samsung’s solar sites. As soon as the remains were found, construction was immediately halted. There is currently no work going on, near or at the site. Samsung has notified tantec Consulting who has expertise in dealing with remains found on construction sites. Stantec will be at the site on Monday morning. We have also notified our partners in ix Nations leadership to inform them and will remain in regular communication with our Six Nations partners.”

Staviss went on to explain, “Samsung has great respect for the Six Nations community and is very fortunate to be working in

We are working with our partners to ensure that the site is handled in an appropriate and sensitive manner.”

In a statement that same day, another Samsung spokesperson, Tim Smitheman, who is Manager of Communications, Government and Public Relations stated, “We notified ix ations lected Council as well as the HDI monitors who were on site.

Construction was halted in that area and Stantec was called in to examine the remains.” However when the Two Row Times contacted lected Chief va ill via email, she stated she knew nothing of the bones. In an email dated June 27, 2014, Hill explained, “I am not aware of any human remains being found at the Samsung project. Nothing has been brought to my attention in this regard.”

The bones would eventually be identified as a modern day cow. According to Smitheman, “Several

weeks ago remains were found at the GRS (Grand Renewable Solar) site. After extensive scientific testing, Stantec has concluded the remains were from a modern day cow.”

Last Thursday, rumours swirled again as Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) monitors discovered several artifacts at the same site southeast of Cayuga. Using the authority of an agreement Samsung has with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council, the monitors immediately informed construction crews to halt construction in that area and erected yellow police-style tape to let workers know not to dig in that area until further investigation could be completed. When HDI monitors returned to the site the following Monday however, the artifacts had not only mysteriously disappeared but construction had resumed.

It is not known who took the artifacts but all parties involved are plead-

In a statement regarding the missing artifacts, Samsung spokesperson Tim Smitheman stated, “Samsung and its partners have taken immediate action in response to the archeological discovery at our Grand Renewable Solar site. We have halted construction work in the affected areas and have brought in independent archeologists from the firm Stantec to work alongside Six Nations monitors.”

ly after the artifacts went missing. Regarding the bones that were found over a month ago, one HDI monitor explained that they never seen the bones and that they were taken off the site before monitors could view them. Wishing to stay anonymous, the person explained, “The bones we didn’t get to see too much of, most of them had been carried away before we got there.”

It seems Samsung and their partners/contractors are also passing the buck back to HDI Monitors by claiming that they had no involvement in the disappearance of the artifacts, “Two small artifacts that were identified by an monitor were not in the same location the following day. Grand Renewable Solar (GRS) has investigated this as best as possible and can attest that neither GRS nor its contractor was responsible for the removal of these artifacts,” stated Smitheman.

Despite the accusations going back and forth, the fact that at least one area of the site is littered with artifacts of a possible ancient Onkwehon:we village and that the artifacts seem to be disappearing just as fast as they are being found, mitheman affirms, “Samsung will continue to work with our Six Nations partners to ensure that all provincial archeological guidelines are followed.”

Fencing with the neighbours at Kanonhstaton

By Jim Windle

Construction has begun on a fence separating the former Douglas Creek Estates lands near Caledonia from properties abutting it along Thistlemore and Braemar Ave. Neighbours and Six Nations volunteers helped clear the brush and garbage to make way for the fence. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE According to the media release issued late Monday from the HDI, “The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs’ Council (HCCC) decision to install a privacy fence along the northern perimeter of Kanonhstaton, the former ouglas Creek states housing subdivision, began this morning with people Haudenosaunee and a number of Caledonia residents...”

About 200 feet of chain link fence poles were installed at the edge Kanonhstaton, in what the media release describes as “an atmosphere of unity.” According to the release, a number of neighbours joined Haudenosaunee people to clear

up litter and yard refuse in order to make a path for the fence installation.

This action was talked about more than a year ago and approved by the Confederacy Chiefs Council. However, it took escalating provocations from a group of Haldimand citizens led by anti-native rights advocate Gary McHale, to make it necessary.

Donna Reid, a member of McHale’s group that has been protesting Kanonstaton and who is a part of the Caledonia class action suit, has extended her property line some 25 feet onto Kanonhstaton with trees and gardens.

While the fence was being built, a brief ver-

bal exchange occurred between her and a few of the fence builders. The OPP attended to keep the peace.

According to the HDI media release, “Reid told a group of Six Nations people that Ontario’s John Nolan and Diane Woods had told her she could extend her land. Nolan and Woods were part of the 2006-2010Haudenosaunee/Six Nations land rights negotiations, representing Ontario at the table.” to According Kawaoene, the sole occupant of the site who maintains presence on behalf of the people of Six Nations, in recent months there have been a number

kin, whose house abuts Kanonhstaton. “I moved in eight years ago, actually on the day of the first uprising. They have their reasons to put this fence up and I’m OK with that.

I don’t know the reasons, but whatever they are it is up to them. I have no issues and never did. I was not involved in any of the rallies or the protests.”

He told TRT that the neighbours he lives around feel much like he does and try their best to keep to themselves and let the situation heal.

“My immediate neighbours have no big issues either,” he says. “I can’t speak about those people further down. I don’t really socialize with them. But the ones within my area are all good. No issues, no dirt-talk about the Natives and all of that.”

It should be mentioned that Larkin is Metis with Sioux heritage, but he does not consider himself an “activist” per say.

KANONHSTATON – According to an old saying, “fences make good neighbours.” That adage is about to be tested at the former Douglas Creek states sub development which was “reclaimed” in 2006 by Haudenosaunee people of Six Nations of the Grand River Territory and renamed Kanonhstaton (pronounced gon-na-stato), a Mohawk work meaning a protected place.

To reduce tensions, the province purchased the land from the developer although many at Six Nations sti ll consider that land theirs since it was never properly ceded or legally sold.

The Haudenosaunee Development Institute acting on behalf of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council began construction Monday on an eight-foot-high chain link fence to separate the troubled site from encroaching Caledonia neighbours.

A tenuous peace has prevailed since the hot summers of 2006 and 2007, but tension has remained between Six Nations land protectors, and a small group of Haldimand citizens who have come to the site dozens of times with the sole purpose of provoking that peace.

of encroachments by some of the neighbours onto a narrow swath of land the province established as a “no-go-zone”.

A charge of assault filed against awaowene

by McHale was recently dropped by the Crown in Cayuga Court when it was shown on police and McHale’s own video footage that Kawaowene (aka John John) was acting in self defense when he pushed McHale away from himself during one of McHale incursions onto the property.

A few others have pushed the edge of their yards into the “no-gozone” as well and Kawaowene has reported instances of garbage being tossed onto the Kanonhstaton land and verbal confrontations with some of the neighbours. But not everyone whose property backs onto Kanonhstaton, feels threatened by the presence of Six Nations next door.

“Putting this fence up doesn’t really matter to me,” said Brad Lar-

Smoke Dance competition overwhelming success

By Jen Mt. Pleasant The second annual and recently named “Lyle Anderson Sr. Smoke Dance Competition” got under way last Sunday at Plank Road One Stop, just south of Caledonia. This year’s competition saw a large increase in not only spectators but dancers as well. According to one organizer, there were over 100 registered dancers. Around 400 spectators circled the dancing grounds which also included food booths as well. Cars overflowed onto the roadway and were backed up for miles.

Before the event commenced, a commemorative plaque was presented to the family of Lyle Anderson Sr. who passed away suddenly in 2012 at the age of 35. Anderson was a renowned smoke dance competitor and played a pivotal role in doing his part in keeping social songs and ceremonies alive. The plaque was presented by event organizer Derek Sandy

PLEASANT who also gave a special shout-out to Nolan ‘Obes’ Hill who graciously offered the grounds for the competition and donated prize money as well.

The Smoke Dance Competition which was traditionally held at the annual Grand River Pow wow was taken out of the lineup a couple of years ago after it was decided

by the Pow Wow Committee that the competition would always bring rain to the pow wow. Last year local businessmen Derek Sandy and Nolan Hill, along with Cam Hill decided to keep the tradition alive and hold it at a different venue.

Last year it rained briefly just as the competition got underway

but this year the weatherman called for rain all weekend. t briefly rained on Saturday and luckily the rain held off on Sunday evening. Just as the last category, Golden Age, completed their competition, the thunder came roaring in, followed by a huge downpour.

Not much was asked of the dancers from the event organizers other than that the participants wear traditional Haudenosaunee regalia, and aside from competing in their respective categories, that they also participate in the social songs as well which were held between each age category. vent emcee otunt Honyust then kicked off the event with the short version of Ganohonyohk and also introduced each social song in the language as well.

Hands down, the most entertaining category to watch was Teen Boys (13-17) as singer Cam Hill paused throughout the song which gave competitors a chance to

show off their best signature moves before the beat resumed. You can watch a short video of this on the Two Row Times website. The audience whooped and applauded as the competitors in this category displayed their best dancing moves, each one staying precisely on beat.

This years winners for the 2014 Lyle Anderson Sr. Smoke Dance Competition are:

We hope everyone had a great time and we’ll see ya’ll next year,” said Sandy.

Gladue court services to expand

By Jim Windle TORONTO – Onkwehon we people who find themselves in court will have more services available to them, thanks to a new $1 million investment by the province to expand the Gladue services. his is a significant development and a great commitment by Legal Aid Ontario and we’re very thrilled about it,” says Jonathan Rudin, Gladue Program Director for Aboriginal Legal Services Toronto.

A Gladue report is a pre-sentencing and bail hearing report for First Nations people who are facing a prison term. The report is compiled by a Gladue writer who takes into consideration the upbringing of the individual and will identify such issues as whether or not the individual had a family member that went to residential school. The report is then submitted to the court for consideration in determining the prison sentence of a self identified irst ations offender. The process derives its name from “R. v. Gladue”, a 1999 Supreme Court of Canada decision and is intended to address the impacts of colonialism on Onkwehonwe people.

In criminal sentencing in Canada, a court is required to take into account all reasonable alternatives to incarceration, with particular attention to First Nations offenders. This is not an automatic “get-out-of-

jail-free card”. Rather it requires the court to take into account specific circumstances facing First Nations people. Where the crime is relatively minor, the court should consider Indigenous-based principles sentencing such as restorative justice. This incorporates community members and the victim in determining an appropriate sentence. However, where the crime is more serious, courts will generally consider more traditional sentencing objectives such as protection of the public and deterrence.

“We received funding from Legal Aid Ontario, and there are two positions that will be going into the Brantford area,” stated Rudin.

“One is a second Gladue report writer, to add to isa an very, our current Gladue writer. This person will assist in the Brantford area because we have a high volume there. It will also help us do Gladue reports in St. Catharines, Welland, and ort rie.

In addition, there will be a new Gladue aftercare worker put in place.

A Gladue aftercare worker will help clients, once a Gladue report is complete, to actually do the things clients are being asked to do.

“We have learned, when we talk to people in preparing a Gladue report, about their lives and the things they need to do, we identify those things, but if they were really easy to work out they would have done them

already,” says Rudin. “So sometimes people need help after the report is done. Maybe it’s getting into treatment programs, or access to services or even having someone to talk to about these things.

The Gladue writers do not have the time to help clients work these things out, they have to move on to the next case. So now we have an after care worker in place who will likely attend most of the sessions with the writer.”

The proposed closure of the Brantford Jail poses some concern to Gladue services.

“Closure of the Brantford Jail is going to make a negative impact,” he adds. t s going to make fulfilling our duties more difficult because one of the things that is important to us when we do Gladue reports is to spend time with our clients who are the subject of the report.

If we have to drive out to Milton, which is where I believe they are going to be putting people, that’s

just going to take time away from doing the actual work, and that is going to be a problem. It is not something we are in favour of.”

He goes on to point out the difficulties it will present for lawyers or duty council to visit with their clients to prepare their defense. Added to travel costs will be court scheduling and other costs when accused are to be brought in from Maplehurst, especially in bad weather.

“We are not in favour of putting Aboriginal people in jail,” he says. “But if they are in custody awaiting trial, the closer they are to their communities certainly makes our work easier and it is also better for people when families can come more often to see them.”

Taking all into account, this addition to the number of Gladue services on the ground is welcome news.

Fence story from page 3 type of behavior around me,” he says. “The people who are doing these instigations must be further down.”

The Director of the HDI, Hazel Hill said she was surprised and disappointed to learn that Ontario, while at the negotiation table, was actually fueling the animosity between the two communities. “It is disappointing to learn that two of the Ontario representatives at the negotiation table, were party to the situation that escalated tensions to the point that the fence is now required.”

She said “The Haudenosaunee, have continually asked Ontario to deal with the issue of the encroachment, and now we have learned from neighbours, that in fact, Ontario was party to the encroachment. It makes it difficult for our chiefs to participate in a meeting with Ontario when the people across the table are not honourable people.”

She said Ontario has been part of the more

than two month old discussions surrounding the installation of a fence.

“They were aware it was being considered and that quotes were received during the tendering process and they even suggested a wooden fence be installed,” Hill said. “They were very much aware the fence was going ahead until they walked away from the Communications Protocol Table in May,” said Hill.

Actually, the protocol agreement expired and was not renewed when form, provincial Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, Kathleen Wynne, became Premier.

Hill said Ontario is reviewing the protocol and has, since May, refused to attend meetings with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs.

The fence construction will continue this week, with the fencing continuing north to join with a fence that had been constructed following the 2006 negotiations behind the Notre Dame Catholic lementary chool.

TWO ROW TIMES

JULY 30TH, 2014

THE TWO ROW TIMES STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES Here at the Two Row Times, we believe in being honest and transparent about who we are, what we do, and how we do it. In the spirit of openness, we share with you a selection from our Statement of Principles.

We are open to input, suggestions and correction from our readers and community members and are always available for discussions.

1. The Two Row Times strives to operate in accordance with the Kaianere’kó:wa, the Two Row Wampum and the Dish with One Spoon.

The Two Row Times shall not act in such a way as to contradict the intent and principles of these teachings. primary 2. The goal of the Two Row

Times is to see the Kaianere’kó:wa, the Two Row, and the Dish with One Spoon become implemented and respected upon Turtle Island creating unity to the broadest reaches of other arth.

Kaiane3. The re’kó:wa is the great peace left by the Peacemaker through which the people are to enact and fulfill our responsibilities in accordance to our stewardship of other arth and the coming faces.

4. The Two Row Wampum ensures that different entities coming into relationship with each other maintain their own interests and identity while making collaboration and unity possible. The principles of the Two Row are of an everlasting relationship

of equals based upon the values of peace, friendship and non-interference.

5. The Dish with ne poon defines the economic and ecological relationships that people should have to each other and with nature. It requires that all people share the resources of the earth in common for sustainability but insists that in meeting these needs we take only what is necessary. We are not to hurt or hoard.

6. The Two Row Times is an expression of the resurgence of Onkwehon:we people and the re affirmation of audenosaunee identity. To us, the rights and responsibilities of Onkwehon:we people have not and cannot be extinguished by the demands of the col-

onizers. The rights and responsibilities of the Onkwehon:we come directly from creation and are unalienable. Insofar as the British Crown and its Canadian subsidiary do not recognize the Kaianere’kó:wa, the Two Row, and the Dish with One Spoon, the Two Row Times considers them to be illegitimate and impotent.

7. The purpose of the Two Row Times is to provide timely, truthful and relevant news and information to Onkwehon:we communities as well as to serve as a bridge between all nations by promoting and demonstrating the values of the Kaianere’kó:wa, the Two Row, and the Dish with One Spoon. In the best spirit of independent journal-

ism, we seek to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.

8. The Two Row Times takes an “everybody has a voice” philosophy. There are many important issues facing Onkwehon:we people and we will strive to present all sides of any issue and let the reader decide. We privilege the voice of no faction or group over the other, and we provide space for all opinions to thrive as long as they express themselves in a respectful fashion. While we hope to inspire Onkwehon:we people with good news and by highlighting local achievements and successes we will not shy away from covering complicated and contentious stories of interest to our readership.

9. We are not simply a weekly newspaper from Six Nations, but rather serve as a multimedia organization that uses all kinds of media - print, video, audio, etc - to connect with and inform the people. Our goal is to go amongst the people, Onkwehon:we to report upon matters of interest to them, and to help articulate a nation building perspective in accordance with the Kaianere’kó:wa, the Two Row, and the Dish with One Spoon. We believe in expressing and reflecting all aspects of Onkwehon:we life; from an extensive sports section and detailed coverage of native arts and culture to discussing current issues.

cultural devastation. As Haudenosaunee peoples we need not look too hard for these examples; we only need to look at the ethnic cleansing of our people in the 18th and 19th centuries from our homelands in what is now New York State.

Our ancestors gave a name to George Washington, the first resident of the USA, Ratinokwatek:a, village burner. Our Nakba (catstophe in Arabic) is not unique. There are many, too many, points in the history of Indigenous people in the Americas that mirror the genocide of Palestinians.

The trail of tears and the ethnic cleansing of Cherokee country in 1838-39, the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, the US military campaign against the Niimíipu (Nez Percé) in 1876-77, the

Wounded Knee Massacre 1890, the list goes on.

Ancient history, some might say, but the reality is that we, as Indigenous people, still suffer the effects of these events. The settler states of both Canada and the United States have done the same to North American Indigenous people as has been done to the Africans in South Africa and Indigenous people in Australia.

Settler apartheid as used

by Israelis has its roots in both the Canadian apartheid system – the Indian Act – and the South African Apartheid system.

There is little to distinguish either from one another.

Monocultural dominance is the norm here in Canada, where you assimilate and speak nglish or French. For Palestinians living outside of the West

Bank and Gaza, living in so-called Israel, conformity to Israeli culture is the norm and, as here in Canada, they too are reviled by their oppressors.

Although the levels of brutality aren’t the same as in occupied Palestine, the Canadian state has never been afraid to employ violence against Indigenous dissent as can be seen in what happened at Kanehsatake in 1990, Gustafsen Lake in 1995, Burnt Church in 1999, or in Six Nations in 2006.

The brutality of the occupation of A’nowarakowa Kawenoke (Great Turtle Island) has had its time: the great darkness that our ancestors suffered with war, disease and cultural death.

We endured and now are existing at the end stage of colonization, whereas Palestine is still in its mid

stages of colonization, as I once explained to a dear Palestinian friend.

It is no surprise that Stephen Harper and his government support the genocide of Palestinians – they have to. They have to because if they recognize the colonization and genocide against Palestine they must then confront their own history of genocide against Onkwehonwe. Given the deliberate delusions of Stephen Harper who claimed that “Canada does not have a colonial past” it is not surprising and in accordance with Zionist interpretations that Palestinians are a fictive population and people. Rather, they dispute that they are even human, and therefore killing them is righteous. There was a time that the same was said of Indigenous peoples here

by settlers. Some still treat Indigenous people as sub-humans not deserving of life as is the sad case with the over one thousand murdered and missing Indigenous women in Canada.

The liberation of Palestine and its people’s rights to self determination, life, comfort and happiness in their own land is connected and no different to Indigenous struggles for self-determination, freedom, land and happiness here. The oppression and genocide of Palestine is our oppression and genocide.

Palestine and the Onkwehonwe

By Clifton Arihwakehte Nicholas “Palestine, that’s none of our business.” Or so some may think and say.

The genocide unfolding in Palestine has been intensifying over the last five years and particularly over the last few weeks. Why you ask, should Indigenous people in the Americas be concerned or vocal about these atrocities?

A quick and simple answer would be that, what’s happening in Palestine is the same as what has happened and is happening to our people here in Turtle Island. What has to be looked at is the politics of colonialism and settlerism.

As Indigenous people we have endured centuries of genocide, ethnic cleansing, land theft and

logical relics within the project’s boundaries. GRS employed four leading, independent archaeological consulting firms to do this work. The process was monitored on a daily basis by representatives of the Six Nations, the Haudenosaunee Development Institute and the Mississaugas of the New Credit. This work took several years, and the results have received the approval of all relevant government bodies.

With the project now in its construction phase, GRS continues to welcome First Nations monitors to oversee the process, in case any artifacts are discovered.

We believe we must respond to the allegation in the July 25th article that “artifacts seem to be disappearing just as fast as they are being found.”

GRS has strict protocols in place governing what is to happen when any artifacts are discovered, and after thorough investigation we have found no evidence that any employee of GRS or our contractors has breached these protocols

or tampered with any archaeological materials.

Yours sincerely, Chief Ava Hill, Six Nations Elected Council Steve Cho, Samsung Renewable Energy Inc. Matt O’Brien, Grand Renewable Solar LP

Helen Miller on HDI Dear editors, This letter is in response to your article “Fence going up to protect Kanonhstaton” July 16, 2014. As usual Hazel Hill who is referred to as the Director of the HDI and who according to a recent letter written by Chief Allan McNaughton is designated by the Confederacy Council (CC) to speak on their behalf used the opportunity when meeting with a small gathering at the former Douglas Creek state lands to bad mouth the lected Council. According to the story Hill also provided some information about the development deals the HDI/ CC have signed.

In speaking only for me as I said before there is a double standard be-

ing applied in our community. There is the one standard of stringent openness, transparency and accountability being demanded of the lected Council, especially with proposed development projects. The community isn’t, however, demanding the same standards from the Confederacy Council who are also making development deals. If you recall the HDI newsletter listed several financial deals, including land leases, they have made with developers without any community consultation and approval.

Jan Longboat who was at the small gathering told Hill that a lot of people were concerned about the money. In reading Hill’s explanation about the financial deals the underlying message is exclusivity and that concerns me. When Hill was asked about the money she said, “The people through their clans and their families--if you are participating with your clan family and know the process of the Confederacy-- that’s who gets to decide that”. So my take

on this explanation is that the only people who will have anything to say about the money or have access to the money are those who attend longhouse. That’s not right. he lected Council s conomic evelopment Department is currently completing the development of a Development Corporation. Within this corporation will be a community trust to administer and manage monies from the development projects and any other own source revenues. Unlike the HDI/CC this money will be used to benefit the community as a whole whether our citizens go to church or longhouse and whether our citizens follow the traditional way or the elected system.

What also concerns me is this Land Acquisition Fund Hill spoke of. In the past, Hill and Aaron Detlor told the community that unlike the lected Council who just wants money, the HDI/CC’s main focus with development deals is getting some

After the ‘war to end all wars dith nderson returned to the Grand River Six Nations where she would marry, become a Montour, and continue nursing. Walter’s dad remained in Canada, got married to Mary, and eventually bought a farm property along the Nith River. Steve’s Grandfather, who was already married, returned to his farm along the Grand River on the Six Nations.

It was only 21 years later, September 1939, when World War Two

broke out. Poland was smashed on the west and on the east by the overwhelming, merciless and powerful armies of Germany and Russia. Once again Canadian and First Nations men and women volunteered and were shipped to urope. ver million people lost their lives during this brutal conflict and over 37 million dead or wounded in World War ne. any of my uropean family were killed or sent to Siberia as was the case with the Gretzky family.

Many from our surrounding communities died in both wars.

The 100th anniversary commemoration of the start of World War One is this year, 2014. Wherever our ancestors were during that conflict and no matter what they were doing to stave off evil acts of others we can all say from our perspectives that ‘We fought for your freedom and ours.’

All it takes is an opportunity and hard work

By David LaForce PARIS – The 3-NOLANS First Nation Hockey School came to the Brant Sports Complex in Paris last week to pass on not only two generations of NHL-level hockey knowledge, but also a message about the power of hard work and determination in life as well.

Dozens of young Onkwehon:we future stars hung on their every word as Buffalo Sabres coach and NHL Coach-of-the-Year winner, Ted Nolan and his two sons, former Carolina Hurricane, Brandon, and two time Stanley Cup winner with the L.A. Kings, Jordan Nolan, encouraged Onkwehon:we youth to shoot for their dreams, no matter what they might be.

The 3 NOLANS Hockey Camp is a 5-day skills development camp for boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 14 years. Nolan, joined by his two sons Brandon and Jordan, have developed a program that works with First Nation youth to further develop their hockey skills and knowledge.

This past Thursday the 3-Nolans Hockey School hosted a pizza party and roundtable for the players and their parents at the Paris arena where the school was held. When asked why he invests so much effort in the hockey camp he said, “I love doing the hockey thing, I really do. I grew up at Garden River First Nation

It’s a small place where I grew up with the Ojibwa nation. Growing up there was probably one of the best times of my entire life going back to the pow wows and missing people, going to the Lil NHL, having a dream as young boy playing with the National Hockey League.”

He pointed out that the most important thing is not so much playing the game.

“It’s a wonderful game but we’re trying to pass on to everyone how important it is to be a good boy or be a good girl, growing up making good decisions,” he said. “Last night we were up at Six Nations community hall and both the boys said something to my wife and I. They said, ‘a big part of who we are, the decisions we made, and some of the things we did growing up are thanks to you.’”

That has always been very important in the Nolan household.

“Brandon had 62 games in Oshawa and I think we caught every one of those games,” said the senior Nolan. “Jordan played in a different place and we caught all of those games. We were there for their schooling, for off-ice activities like baseball, all those things, and we don’t realize how important this role is for us parents, to

really, really be there for the kids to support and encourage them. What we always say at First Nation communities is how important this generation of kids are. I’m so proud of this week and I see some kids on this ice that hopefully, if I’m still coaching in Buffalo about 10 years from now, that I will see some of these kids up there because we could sure use some of the talent from here up there. There are a lot of talented kids here.

Whether you play in the National Hockey League or not, the most important thing is playing sports and making friends and making connections with kids from other communities.”

He went on to praise the young hockey-campers and to encourage their dreams.

“Last year, one of the most amazing things to me is watching our children get better every day throughout the week,” he said. “People just need an opportunity and the rest is up to us to work.”

He spoke of one young Onkwehon:we boy in particular who impressed him.

“One of the participants last year, I think it was his first year on the ice, his name was aston, he recalled. aston didn t play hockey all winter and he’s probably still the most improved. I am amazed at the skill level that he has reached just by doing that.

The most important thing is coming here and making

some plays, I admit that’s the most important thing.

I have played hockey myself, for the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins and coached the Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders. One of the greatest things that I remembered about hockey at a young age was going to the Lil NHL, meeting other Anishinaabe people from other communities, and others like the Mohawks and the Senecas, and I think we are all one big family. It’s great to see all brown faces here today.

It’s been a pleasure and I’m really proud of Brandon coming down here and taking a break from school.

It’s been wonderful opportunity to get know the kids and work with them.”

Following the Paris camp, the 3-NOLANS moves on to other communities with large urban Native populations or with reserves close by.

Six Nations Rebels are having a ball

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Lacrosse is fun. Playing for a good team is even more fun, but winning just never gets old for the Six Nations Rebels who have enjoyed three perfect 20-0 seasons and have lost only 3 games since

Jacob Bomberry and Mitch Green accounted for two more Rebels markers in the second

ries is set to go Wednesday, July 30 at the Tony Rose Memorial Arena in Orangeville, with Game #3 the next day, back at the ILA, before heading back to the Big Orange for Game #4, Aug. 3rd.

Danton Miller, #97, finds the top shelf on Orangeville goalie Daniel Tanner for his first goal of the night as the Six Nations Rebels took Game #1 of the Western Conference Finals Friday night at the ILA. Miller scored again in the third period. Next game is Wednesday July 30 in Orangeville before returning to the ILA Aug. 1st for Game #3.

Winning is fun and the Six Nations Rebels have been having a lot of it again this year as they ready themselves for an unprecedented fourth Founders Cup in a row. But there are still two roadblocks in their way with the Orangeville Northmen, which they defeated in Game #1 of the series, and should they continue past that, it will be either Halton Hills or Akwesasne in the OLA Jr. B finals.

“Indians” in Russia – more than a fairy tale and Internet. I learned to dance with videos from different Pow Wow in America. It was long but very interesting way.

By Nahnda Garlow One day as I was creeping people on Facebook I saw a breathtaking, topnotch, museum quality war shirt. It was carefully beaded in sky blue seed beads and had horse hair ties intricately wrapped running along the fringe.

I clicked on the picture and suddenly I was transported to the timeline of Mikhail Vinogradov; a Russian pow-wow enthusiast. Yes, I said Russian.

When I delved further into his timeline and started creeping on his friends I came to discover what I’d only heard in reservation fairy tales that somewhere, in a land far, far away there was a town full of German people who lived like Indians.

Turns out its not a fairy tale, and that in fact astern urope is full of people who legitimately pow wow. They aren’t Ongwehowe but have devoted their lives to reOngwehowe searching ceremonies, traditions, crafts and dancing.

The pow wow people of Russia have actually created an entire sub-culture of weekend indigenous life right in the middle of urope. hey have retreats where they will sleep in tipis that they make themselves, hold sweats, have naming cer-

Onkwehonwe traditions may not be big in Japan but they are certainly emulated in Russia, Germany and other parts of Europe. These Russian pow wow enthusiasts have dedicated themselves to intepreting and implementing Onkwehonwe culture for better or worse. SUBMITTED PHOTO emonies and hold dance contests - “just like the red man”.

This makes a lot of actual indigenous people angry. Understandably so. The story of coloniation first removed the indigenous people from our territories and then forcibly separated our ancestors from our culture.

Further to that, Victorian times thought it appropriate tokenize Indians and romanticize ‘savages’ through things like Peter Pan and Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.

Because of this history the sight of uropean men and women gathering around the big drum, singing victory songs and speaking Lakota can absolutely be taken as adding insult to injury. However because they are doing so much research into what is actually authentic, there is yet a lay-

er of separation between this kind of tokenization and things like mascotry done by professional sports teams in the USA. All bad feelings aside this strange and unusual Russian hobby had my curiosity was piqued, so I reached out to Mikhail and asked him how the Russian Pow Wow went this weekend. Without passing judgement, here is our conversation and the photos he shared with me as proof that uropean Pow Wow Culture is more than a fairy tale.

groups of people who live in the different cities of Russia and study Native culture and Culture of Pow Wow. It’s about some hundreds people.

NG: How did you first hear about pow-wows?

Mikhail: About Pow Wow and Native Culture I heard in the childhood, reading books. I then was

about 12 years old. Now I am 43 years old and all this time I studied books, I learned to do various Native items and Pow Wow regalia.

NG: Where did you learn to dance and make regalia?

Mikhail: I learned make regalia by myself with photos from books

NG: Why do you choose to participate in cultural things that are of a different culture other than your own? ikhail t is a difficult question. Probably, it happened because of many reasons. Many children in that time when I was a child watched movies and read books where Indians are shown by noble, courageous people.

We wanted to be similar to them. Some of us, having become adults, continued this way. But now we don’t play anymore, we study this culture.

We show respect for this culture. And we don’t understand why sometimes Native people have a negative opinion about as.

We don’t steal their culture. We try to inform it to people in our country.

NG: What is your cultural background?

Mikhail: I’m Russian.

I was born in Moscow.

NG: Are there many people who dance and pow wow in your country?

AUTOMOTIVE SECTION THE SPIRIT OF ALL NATIONS

How it all began - The origins of Brantford VW Once upon a time, in a land far north of Brantford, there lived a girl named Jeannette who from a very young age was in love – ok was obsessed – with the VW Beetle. At the tender age of 22, with nothing more than a passion for the VW Brand and love for being with people, she managed to build a career selling Volkswagen vehicles, later Audi, Porsche, and eventually Mercedes Benz vehicles. (Important side note, she parked her Mercedes & drove her ‘70s Beetle whenever possible.)

About 20 minutes away lived a boy named Gregg who as a teenager, was given his first car by his neighbour, who said,

f you can fix the coolant and radiator problem, it’s yours for free!” Well... it was a 1968 Beetle, aircooled. Though Gregg found out the hard way that it had no radiator, he had his first car e too built a career selling Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, General Motors, and also eventually Mercedes Benz vehicles. And there they met.

A few years after beginning a life together, Gregg & Jeannette would daydream of finding a way to combine their passions for German automobiles, along with their passion for people and in their own way “make a difference” in the business. Then, one

autumn day, out of the blue came an opportunity. Low and behold, they decided to take a leap of faith. And leapt they did! They moved 172 kilometers south to a city where they knew not a single soul or street name.

There were many bumps & hills – which felt more like mountains – along the road, but like “the little engine that could” they continued to forge ahead, then one day, as if fallen out of sky, came a Mr. Andy Campbell. As if the missing piece of our puzzle had been just found, Andy joined the team, loving the VW brand, learning Jeannette and Gregg’s ways, while embracing the community with its

people. And in return the people embraced Gregg, Jeannette, and Andy, quite literally, as they often get hugged.

At present, you will find them day to day, in the dealership, as they were years ago; loving the VW brand, embracing the community with its people. Those very people will tell you that together Gregg, Jeannette, and Andy – along with their dedicated team – are actually “making that difference”, all while growing the Brantford VW family by leaps & bounds with staff, & clients alike. This is not the end but barely the beginning.

MAZDA CELEBRATES TOP TECHNICIAN OF THE YEAR

WINNER Chris Doktor

Joe DiSabatino

Pat Lallo

ALMOST 50 YEARS OF QUALITY SALES AND SERVICE! Lallo Mazda in Brantford must be doing something right. For the second consecutive year, one of Lallo Mazda’s Technicians, Christopher Doktor, has won the MAZDA MASTER TECHNICIAN COMPETITION that was held in March at Richmond Hill, Ontario. The competition was an all day event and was a hands-on challenge by the top 10 Master Technicians from across Canada.

The Lallo family has served Brantford, Brant County, Paris and Haldimand Norfolk for almost 50 years. Pat Lallo started in the automotive business in 1965 and has owned Lallo Mazda since 1980. Lallo Mazda provides the best quality sales and service for the Mazda lineup of new cars and SUV’s. Peter Merklinger, Lallo Mazda Service Manager says it is one of the major reasons for the ongoing success of Lallo Mazda. We couldn’t be prouder of Chris and Joe. Christopher works side by side with last year’s winner Joe DiSabatino, whom he accredits with being a vast book of knowledge due to his 35 years of Mazda experience.

Christopher scored the highest mark on the prequalifying written exam given to all 300 of Mazda’s Master Technicians, which then qualified him to compete in the hands-on competition. Christopher is celebrating his 21st year with Lallo Mazda. He said his win was the result of very serious preparation. Christopher said you have to challenge yourself every day, with all the electronics onboard, you really have to know what you are doing.

Unique eco-art gallery

By Tim Reynolds Rick Sommers, who is of Aztec descent, is known as the artist who brought and taught “barn block art paintings” to Canada from Ohio. To date, he has created over 320 pieces of barn quilt art. The Turtle nation piece which represents the Four Directions, is currently in Wardsville. Rick is also the creator and owner of the worlds first drive-thru eco-art gallery that doubles as a cyclist rest stop. The gallery is called ade on arth and is completely eco-friendly. The fence around the building is reused wood and some of the beams are over 300 years old. There are no chemical sprays used on the property. The fallen leaves from the surrounding trees are used in the artwork. very paintbrush and the paint used for the art is found and reused. All the plants and flowers that are planted there were thrown out by others. There are many birdhouses along the gallery pathway to naturally attract the birds to get rid of the mosquitoes. The canvas for the paintings can range from a street sign or a washing machine front.

Rick will be planting walnut trees all around the property and eventually creating a natural archway over the adjoining main road. There was an ancient archway there that was used by the orig-

Rick does what he describes as fusion art.

All the paintings have a message or a theme. One of the paintings is father time, which is supposed to, according to Rick, “remind us to live everyday like its your last.” Ant colonies live in some of the artworks that blend with the natural environmental theme.

There is a dream bench along the tour that is surrounded by cedars where Rick while sleeping there, dreamt that he saw himself looking at himself from the other side. At the end of the dream an owl appeared and an eye also appeared. The owl and the eye are a part of the dream bench. The dream encouraged him to create this unique place because Rick follows his dreams.

The gallery has a

wishing tub that is only activated by rainwater and the money collected out of it goes to victim services for abused women and children who are in need of food, shelter or clothing.

In the middle of the courtyard is the new Avalon, as Rick puts it, where there is a sizeable stage and a sound dome to hear your vibrations in a natural way. Rick offers the area for marriage for free because he believes that people shouldn’t have to pay to get married. Instead of cutting flowers there will always be flowers there. People can also

hold concerts or perform for free using the stage.

Rick will be done with the gallery by 2030 but people can come and enjoy it at this present time. He plans on having a glass blowing studio, a stain glass studio, a place to make and sell soap, and a huge table that will accommodate 140 people to do their art work on. o visit ade on arth it is on 2504, Hwy 2 (Longwoods Road) just a couple of kilometers from Wardsville Ontario.

land. Now I assumed they meant getting land returned or transferred back to Six Nations; however, that isn’t the case with the Land Acquisition Fund.

According to Hill money will be set aside in this fund for land acquisitions. What this means is the developer will pay a certain amount of money into this Land Acquisition Fund every year.

Then the CC will use this money to “buy” certain parcels of land over the 20 years of the project and put this land under the CC’s land registry system.

Years ago I remember how the CC and the frowned community upon the lected Council for buying back our own land as the Council did with Painter’s Road for example. Now the CC is agreeing to buying back land as well. How times have changed!

Most people know I don’t go to longhouse or participate in any of the special ceremonies but I do practice some of the traditions in my own way. And I do have much respect for the traditional system if it’s followed.

What I see today is the CC being convinced by internal forces to stray from the traditional system and go down the

wrong road. Neither is the CC practicing the traditional system as they should.

The fact that we have two fully functioning governments and yet our community is more dysfunctional than ever in terms of building positive working relationships and people getting along should tell us something. Unfortunately we don’t seem to be listening to the messages and reading the signs that tell us change needs to take place.

Hill says Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynn was “ballsy” when as Minister of Aboriginal Affairs she signed the communications process agreement with the CC. Hill said the CC would “be happy to meet” with and talk to the ministers as long as the lected Council isn’t there. You know there was a time when the CC would have nothing to do with the Provincial government.

Now as they say in political circles the CC is sleeping with the Province. ven so it s only the people of Six Nations who can determine governance.

Seeding the future at Kayanase

Kayanase is restoring other arth, one seed at a time. The nursery and seed repository was originally birthed out of the protests and subsequent negotiations concerning the construction of the ed ill xpressway in Hamilton with the Confederacy Council.

Part of that agreement was that Six Nations would get the contract to reforest the area after the highway was built.

That launched a number of projects that would facilitate the work of reforesting the area, financed in part through the negotiated agreement. Forestry programs were started with government funding through the Trees of Ontario Project and were administered locally through rand iver mployment and Training, which spawned the state-of-theart greenhouse, nursery and seed repository which was constructed on Highway #54 in 2010.

“Our organization is about restoring Mother arth holistically, through the collection of native seeds, to seed processing, seed propagation, planting, monitoring and eventually back to healthful biodiversity,” states the new Kayanase website.

When the reforestation of the Valley was ready to go, so was Kayanase. Several Six Nations trained forestry workers began the chore of collecting seeds, plant-

“The Red Hill Valley project is what Kayanase is known for,” says acting general manager, Cathy Smith. “Right now we are working with the City of Hamilton and the joint stewardship board to revitalize large areas of the valley floor.

In September, the Kayanase crew will be spraying for different invasive species within the valley, as well as planting new trees, native to this region. verything here at Kayanase is local. Local trees from local seeds,” she says.

A tour of the facility shows every step of the process, from seed to sapling, all under the watchful eyes of trained staff. he first thing one notic-

es is how large the facility actually is.

Large cooler areas control the timing of the germinated seeds and sprouts until the appropriate time when they can be safely planted in the wild. But fulfilling the need for the Red Hill Valley revitalization project isn’t the only purpose of Kayanase. It also supplies landscapers – professional and private – with healthy native trees and plants at a reasonable price.

“Some people come here to buy specific seeds from us for their own purposes,” says Smith.

Landscape technician and propagation specialist Kali Hill explained how the coolers mimic other arth s usual dormant winters and how, when they are brought

into the greenhouse, they simulate spring and early summer, encouraging growth. The process is so balanced they can predict the exact time when the seeds or sprouts are most receptive to being planted in the ground. recently Kayanase hosted a traditional to-

bacco workshop, with Delmor Jacobs teaching the participants about the history, importance and the many uses of traditional tobacco. Participants were able to plant their own tobacco and store it at the greenhouse where the Kayanase staff watered and cared for

Kayanase has begun open house tours of the facility to help educate the public about what they do, and about the importance of protecting native species.

“One such project involves the reestablishment of the once prolific Milkweed plant, which is also nurtured and sold here to help restore the onarch Butterfly populations that have been declining in recent times,” says Smith.

By Jen Mt. Pleasant This past weekend, two local Six Nations men braved it out and donated their long locks in support of Angel Hair for Kids.

Kevin Hess and brother Shayne Hess seemed more excited then nervous as they underwent the scissors. Angel Hair for Kids donates funds which go towards wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illness. The event took place this year at the Mohawk Chapel in Brantford. Family and friends were on hand to support the event and to hold a picnic.

According to event organi er laine Burnside, “Angel Hair for Kids is a program of A Child’s Voice Foundation that provides wigs and hair loss solutions to financially disadvantaged children in Canada who have lost their hair due to a medical condition or treatment. Using hair that is generously donated to the program, the foundation can create wigs and hair systems and provide them at no cost to the child’s family.”

In total, both Kevin and Shayne donated 34 inches of hair: Kevin with 22 and Shayne with 12

inches. Other participants included Burnside’s son Joey, who donated 11 inches of hair for a grand total of 45 inches. Also participating was Reverend Jonathan Massimi from Counterpoint church. Although he didn’t have long hair to donate, he did get his head shaved in support of the event. The hairdresser who cut the hair was Cathy Campbell of Simply the Best and this was her third time participating in Angel Hair for Kids fundraiser events.

Burnside explained the process of acquiring enough hair donations to make wigs, “It takes 1012 donated ponytails to make one hair prosthesis and $800 to $1000 is budgeted by the foundation to cover manufacturing and related costs (for one wig . he stated that, very year many children in Canada will lose their hair due to conditions such as cancer treatments, alopecia and even burns. We believe that providing a wig or hair loss solution will increase a child’s self esteem and improve their self image, during a difficult and sometimes painful time in their lives. We hope to help them face their condition and daily

life with a greater confidence. Since the program’s inception only three years ago we are proud to say that we have helped over 150 children, and the demand is steadily increasing.”

Kevin Hess told the Two Row Times that this was the first time in years that he has let someone cut his hair and was looking forward to a new look as his marriage to partner Mindy Jonathan is coming up in three weeks.

“Mindy wants to cut my hair before the wedding,” Hess chuckled.

Asked about what encouraged her to help out with the event, Mindy stated, “My dad passed away from cancer seven years ago and today is his birthday actually. I want to help the kids out as much as possible.”

Burnside stated that what was particularly interesting at this event is that all the participants were males, “Last time they were all women,” she explained. People who want to support Angel Hair for Kids still have another month to donate. ach person who would like to donate may do so.

Any donation over $20 or more will receive a tax

Six Nations boxer Cher Obediah-Blasdell to fight in Brantford

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Six Nations boxer Cher Obediah-Blasdell will be headlining a boxing card on Saturday August 2nd, at the Brantford Curling Club located at 345 Morrell Street, in Brantford.

She and her gym, the Black ye Boxing Club, are inviting Six Nations and area boxing fans to come out and cheer her on. The cost is $20 at the gate or $15 in advance.

Doors open at 5 pm, and the first bout is set to begin at 6 pm.

“We are holding our first boxing event in two years since Bill Williams left the organization,” says Jackie Armor of the host gym, and Obeboxing diah-Blasdell’s coach. “A full card of fights for this price ow can you beat that?”

It will be somewhat of a showcase for the Black ye Boxing Club fighters from several different weight classes to be seen locally in at least 10 bouts.

“Cher is going to be our main event and will be facing a fighter she has seen four times before in mma ames, whom Obediah-Blasdell defeated in the Provincials, Armor says.

There will be a licensed bar, hot dogs and sausages available for fight fans.

“The Curling Club venue is really great,” he says. “I took a walkthrough the other day and it’s huge and nice.

There won’t be a bad seat anywhere. It’s going to be quite a night.”

In May, Obediah-Blasdell won the 2014 United Golden Gloves Provincial Gold, beating James in a unanimous decision at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga.

“James gave Cher the fight of her life, rmour said. “She came out with heart and threw a ton of punches in that one.” hat win ualified Obediah-Blasdell for the

should be a really good fight.

Obediah-Blasdell is the 54-57 kilo Provincial Women’s Champion. She also won the Bronze medal at the Canadian Nationals last year. This year, the Nationals are being held in Toronto in October, so the club has begun its fundraisers to help defer the costs of participating where she will be trying to turn bronze into silver or gold.

Cher Obediah-Blasdell is currently attending school to become a police officer but still finds time to train and would like to turn pro later this year.

Daring to dream big REWARDS PROGRAM

By Nahnda Garlow

IMMEDIATE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Since its inception, the ChariDreamcatcher table Foundation has helped countless youth who would otherwise be financially unable to participate in sports, summer camps, dance lessons, to get surgery or medical equipment, or receive academic assistance for school abroad.

Starting August 1st, the ChariDreamcatcher table Foundation has teamed up with the Two Row Times in the Dare to Dream Big Rewards Program; offering positive reinforcement for youth who engage in something they love to do and who positively encourage their peers to do the same.

Dreamcatcher The Charitable Foundation funds dreamers. Why? So

they can be the empowered future leaders of our communities. Strong and ethical leaders speak with truth, humility and integrity – walking every day with a committed endurance. Perhaps even more importantly though, empowering leadership should inspire this behaviour in others.

These are the characteristics we as indigenous people should be facilitating in the growth of our future leaders.

It is our responsibility to encourage youth to empower their peers and foster in all First Nations children a “get up and go” attitude. This is the ‘it factor’ that ignites inspiration in others. This is the charismatic quality of all dynamic leaders. We believe all First Nations youth should be acknowledged and rewarded for

reaching toward their dreams and encouraging others to do the same.

Sadly there remains some strong opposition hindering today’s youth from acting upon their dreams: namely the problems of lateral violence and that “crabs in the bucket mentality”. These are both learned behaviours and the sad leftovers from the residential school system that hovers

about First Nations communities. These attitudes act as a spiritual vacuum, draining hope and motivation from First Nations youth at a very young age.

They also set the stage for things like bullying and internalized shame about our First Nations heritage. But we believe this mentality can be overcome - by encouraging our youth!

Our traditions tells

us that the Peacemaker, when speaking to the people, held up one arrow and broke it in two. When he grabbed a handful of five arrows and tried to do the same, the arrows didn’t break. In unity we are stronger. This is the message we need to inculcate in our youth; stand behind one another, support each other, believe in one another, and encourage each other in all these things. In our traditions this is called ‘Ganigohiyo’, or having a good mind.

The “Dare to Dream Rewards Program” is a means of positive reinforcement for First Nations youth who Dare to Dream Big and encourage others to do the same.

Cheering on your friends for doing positive healthy things, and being encouraged for doing positive healthy things are both

ARTS CULTURE ENTERTAINMENT

The two sides of Logan Staats

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Singer/ s o n g w r i t e r/g u i t a r i s t Logan Staats, has been flying somewhat under the radar as one of Six Nations’ many musical talents. But this talented artist is about to break out, both as a solo performer and as a member of his band, the Ghost

as far apart as possible where his two sides cannot influence each other.

The Upper Mohawk from Six Nations has a powerful way with a lyric and a haunting vocal style to sell the emotion of the songs he writes and performs. He has been perfecting those skills over the past seven years.

Six Nations singer songwriter Logan Staats has two careers he is balancing.

One, as a solo artist, a little moody and a little folky, as well as a lead guitarist for his rock band, The Ghost Town Orchestra. One gets his deeper soul out while the other gets his ya-yahs out. But either way you slice it, Logan Staats is a name to watch for.

Town Orchestra (GTO) which he formed along with Brantford’s Victor Martisius. He does his best to keep the two acts

“Last year I locked myself in my room and wrote 10 new songs with violinist Matt Walbanks,” Staats told the TRT.

Those songs will appear on his latest acoustic project, “Goodbye Goldie,” dedicated to his grandmother, Goldie Staats.

“I work solo most of the time, but I also love playing with the band,” he says.

Staats will be playing with Ghost Town Orchestra at this year’s Concert for a Cure, at the Ohsweken Speedway, August 15/16, but he will also be performing his acoustic set at the . . . . . heatre as part of the same event.

“Last year we got to play with Mumford and Sons in Simcoe,” he said.

“That was pretty cool.”

He also recently returned from France where GTO was selected to perform at a festival as part of the Ontario Showcase of talent.

“I had a great time, busking and taking day trips while I was there,” he says.

His alter-ego with the Ghost Town Orchestra was nominated this year for Best New Artist” and “Best Rock CD” for the 2014 Aboriginal Peoples’ Choice Music Awards which will be selected September 11th, 12th. cites influences such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, The Darkness, The Black Keys and Kings Of Leon. The Ghost Town Orchestra creates a vibrant Folk-inspired

sound appealing to rock & roll and alternative folk fans alike.

Cal Smith, from Gunner Recordings, recruited GTO in 2013 after seeing them at 2 Doors Down in Brantford. They were invited as a private showcase for the Label’s reps and signed a record deal with Gunner. Soon

afterwards, the band started pre-production on their debut CD, “Dead Wait”.

The Ghost Town Orchestra are signed with Gunner Records, along with stable mates Derek iller, ames vans, and IMP with Stevie Salas and Bernard Fowler: pretty good company!

Judging by all accounts, Staats will be a very busy man over the next several months as his calendar is filling up rapidly with both solo and GTO dates.

He and GTO record at the former Mohawk Institute Residential School at the D.A.M. studio.

FOOD & RESTAURANTS FROM THE CITY TO THE LAND: A COOK'S JOURNEY

Loving you is sometimes chard

By Joe Farrell There is a particular leafy green that always catches my girlfriend’s eye at the Farmers Market. She usually lets out an excited shriek and claps her hands when she sees this colourful vegetable on display. She bounces a little up and down and with a big toothy smile on her face she’ll turn to me exclaiming, “Oooh, look it’s rainbow chard!”

Swiss chard does indeed come in an array of varieties with stems ranging in colour from red, white, to yellow.

Much to my girlfriend’s delight we now have two rows of chard growing at the dge of the oods Farm and she walks those rows with the same bounce in her step and smile on her face that she usually greets this nutritious green with.

Not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for chard as this woman who’s captured my heart.

For some chard may evoke curiosity, as it is quite beautiful; however it remains an unfamiliar green. It’s many uses and preparations might not

be part of everyone’s regular cooking repertoire.

This past weekend at the Six Nations Farmers Market, three people within the first minutes of my arrival asked what the colourful mix of chard was that was being sold, as they had never seen it before. My natural reaction was to begin preparing the chard for folks to try and become familiar with.

Chard is a versatile leafy green and is not a far diversion in terms of uses and flavour from spinach. Like spinach it is incredibly healthy and nutritious. Chard proponents cite that this plant has properties that are antioxidant, anti inflammatory, and serve as blood sugar regulators.

One can prepare the leaves and stems of the chard together or remove the leaves from the colourful stems and use them in separate preparations. For example, when the chard is young with tender leaves and stems; these can be used to make a salad. The more mature leaves are leathery and the stems are tough and need to

be steamed, boiled, or braised.

This is how I like to prepare chard for myself and my chard-loving girlfriend.
