hile it’s been said that Brantford is starting a renaissance and revitalization, Mayor Chris Friel believes one already began 20 years ago. “We collaborated, we persevered, and through hard work and creativity, we changed Brantford for the better,” Friel said Monday evening during his annual state of the community address in Brantford council chambers. “Brantford is not starting to be revitalized, we are showing the way to other communities how we revitalized,” Friel said.

Friel touts revitalized Brantford in state of the community address
‘‘
Brantford is not starting to be revitalized, we are showing the way to other communities how we revitalized.”
first election in 1994, it is fascinating and exciting to see how much Brantford has changed,” he said. Some of the highlights of the past year include a job strategy and a new branded look for the city, Friel said. As for the biggest issue to face Brantford’s economic development future, Friel pointed to the completion of the boundary adjustment with the County of Brant. “Brantford has consistently laid out the science of our position, we have been specific with the financial impact and we have worked in such a way as to share the
prosperity with our county neighbours and remain in consultation with our Six Nations neighbours to offer them the same advantage,” Friel said. “Brantford has bargained in good faith at every step of the process.” Though Mohawk College recently announced the closure of Brantford’s campus, Friel highlighted continued growth of post-secondary education downtown in 2013, including the completion of Conestoga College’s first year in Brantford and the welcoming of McMaster University’s family residency program to the Brantford General
Hospital. Last year “dangerous buildings” were taken down off the Greenwich-Mohawk brownfield site after council allocated funding for the project. “Now we move forward with cleaning the property and returning the land to positive use for families, the neighbourhood and the community as a whole,” Friel said. Three pieces of public art were erected over the past year, including the Gretzky statue at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre. With the Gretzky family, Premier Kathleen Wynne and Minister Gary Goodyear in attendance, the opening of the Gretzky Centre – a $64-million complex – was the “event highlight of the year,” Friel said. “It was heartwarming to see dads and moms sharing their memories with their children, many of whom weren’t even alive when Wayne was playing,” he said.
from the 5-year low of 4.1 per cent recorded in November, according to Statistics Canada figures released Friday. Canada’s jobless rate climbed to 7.2 per cent and Ontario’s jumped to 7.9 per cent, up from 7.2 per cent in November, as Ontario accounted for 39,000 of the 46,000 jobs lost across the country. Despite December’s numbers, Brantford’s job market
has performed well over the last 12 months. “Although the unemployment rate increased in the past month, a comparison to December 2012 shows it fell by more than three per cent. This is good news for our community,” said Jill Halyk, executive director of the Workforce Planning Board of Grand Erie. Local job losses were seen
in agriculture, construction, transportation and manufacturing, sectors that often see a seasonal decline in December. December saw yet another drop in the number of people in the labour force, a trend that continues to be a concern, Halyk said. “It raises questions as to why people have stopped looking for work,” she said.
❰❰ CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
Visits from other communities and levels of government over the past year have offered Brantford the opportunity to show others what the city is doing, Friel said. “Brantford, this past year has been a noticed influencemaker within the province,” Friel said. “Brantford, for the first time in decades is not the community with its hand out, we are the community that is sought after to show the way.” Friel cited three examples of why Brantford is a recognized leader within Ontario and Canada: the development of civic pride and unity through the 2013 creation of a public space in Harmony Square, revitalization through education and the integration of a casino within the community whose hosting fee is used to drive economic and physical change in the city. “I have been Mayor for four terms, and since my ❱❱

City, Six Nations at odds over West Street property

Band council pays $46,000 to halt tax sale of 431 West St., court action against Brantford a possibility NATALIE PADDON BRANT NEWS
S
The City of Brantford and Six Nations elected band council are at odds over taxes on this Six Nations-owned property PHOTO BY NATALIE PADDON, BRANT NEWS at 431 West St. in Brantford. between the city and Six Nations allowed for the crossing of the Grand River for municipal services, including water and sewer lines, to connect to Brantford’s Northwest Industrial Park. Having been involved with the creation of the 1997 agreement, Friel said it was not intended to apply to any plot of land, only lands located within the Northwest Industrial Park. “They have their set of beliefs and we have our set of beliefs,” Friel said. Hill is hoping a mutually acceptable resolution can be
reached with the city. If not, Six Nations plans to take Brantford to court to have the land declared a “special reserve” and get back the money paid in taxes, as well as “other damages.” Hill said she will be meeting with Friel next week. “If the city wants to get into another lawsuit with Six Nations, then it’s their decision,” Hill said. Friel said the city treasurer doesn’t have authority to end the tax sale unless there are errors, which does not apply in this circumstance. “We don’t have the author-
ity nor would we really be willing to set the precedent to say ‘you don’t have to pay taxes,’” he said. Two resolutions brought before council last June put forward pulling the property from the tax sale list to provide the opportunity to negotiate with Six Nations and consult with the provincial and federal governments, Friel said. “Even our lawyers said we’re not sure what this means and how this plays out because it’s not our level of government,” he said. While Friel was at his
daughter’s Grade 8 graduation during the June meeting, committee members voted to leave the property on the tax sale list. “Now it’s been a constant state of negotiation,” he said. “We’re back to that, but now we’ve just created a negative element in our relationship.” Friel said this is the first time such an issue has come up in Canada. He wants a Six Nations liaison committee to prepare a report and present it to council. Ward 1 Coun. Jan Vanderstelt has submitted two notices of motion to be presented at Monday’s committee of the whole meeting. The motions are being submitted in regards to 110 Gilkison St. – another city property owned by Six Nations. The goal of the motions is to have the Gilkison Street property “removed” from tax sale. Vanderstelt fears troubles the city has faced with 431 West St. may repeat themselves with the Gilkison Street property. “It’s going to happen again,” Vanderstelt said. “What I want to do is to educate the public on the process that we’ve been through so far.”

ix Nations elected council has paid more than $46,000 in property taxes to halt the tax sale of its property at 431 West St. in Brantford. “We had to pay it in order to save the land,” said Six Nations Chief Ava Hill, who noted the taxes were paid “in protest.” Six Nations of the Grand River became owners of the five-acre property when William Frederick Fuller left it to the native band in his will. Fuller, who had owned the property since 1962, died on Jan. 1, 2006. Since 2007, lawyer Lonny Bomberry has been the registered owner and trustee of the property for Six Nations, according to a media release from Six Nations. Six Nations council and Bomberry only found out about taxes owing on the property when it was reported in the media early in 2013. After a meeting between Six Nations and the city in May, it was agreed the groups would try to reach a resolution before the property was put up for tax sale. Before
that was done, city council approved the property to be sold this past summer. Both parties met again in August and agreed to come to a resolution, but in November Six Nations elected council was notified that a tax sale would proceed on Jan. 9. Brantford Mayor Chris Friel and his staff met with Hill on Dec. 5, when they agreed to work toward a resolution so no tax sale would occur. Less than a week later, Six Nations received a letter from Brantford’s city solicitor notifying them that the tax sale would take place as scheduled. “They didn’t have the courtesy to let Lonny know that they were going to (put it up for tax sale),” Hill said. “How does that help in improving relationships between Six Nations and the city?” Six Nations stands by its position that, according to its 1997 agreement with the city, municipal land in the City of Brantford held in trust for Six Nations was never intended to be taxed. Friel said his understanding is “if you own property within the municipality, you pay taxes. If you don’t pay taxes, then we go through that process.” The 1997 agreement

Jan Vanderstelt can take 20 minutes in good traffic to reach the highway. “What we have here is an under-serviced ward,” Vanderstelt said. “It needs attention. It needs funding. It needs service. These questions need to be answered.” Vanderstelt hopes to see the completion of roadwork on Shellard Lane in order to see construction begin on the North of Shellard Sports Complex and Community Centre. Formerly a general contractor in Brantford, Vanderstelt is now focusing on his creative side as a professional artist. Citing a love of Eagle Place, Brantford’s Randy Schelhas has filed to run in Ward 5. “I live in Ward 1 now, but I still have four properties and nine tenants in Eagle Place

sit on council to help protect Ward 4’s agricultural lands and interests. He wants to make sure council keeps tax increases to a minimum to ensure a sound financial future for residents. “One of the big things I’m looking at is keeping an eye on taxation, so we don’t put a big burden on the future,” he said. Weatherbee believes the ward’s agricultural base sets it apart from other wards in the county and that it deserves attention for its urban centers (Burford and Scotland) and its farmland. The longtime employee at Home Hardware in the paint and chemical division lives in Burford with his wife Stephanie. They have three grown children, Ryan, Darren and Stacey. Weatherbee has been a member of the Burford Optimist Club for 25 years and helped make the construction of a splash pad possible. Weatherbee is so far the only resident who has filed in Ward 4.

ampaigning for the 2014 municipal election got underway in the County of Brant last week when two residents filed paperwork to run for council in Ward 3 and Ward 4. Coun. Cliff Atfield, 65, the incumbent councillor in Ward 3, filed papers to run for his fourth term on council. Atfield said he was on the fence about running again, but his constituents urged him to continue. He won elections in 2003, 2006 and 2010. “I want to go in because not enough councillors fight for the individual and I do if they have a good complaint and people have asked me to stay (on council) for that reason,” he said. Atfield hopes to return to council and encourage other councillors to work as a team and stick to strategic plans. “One more time to get this thing working the way it’s supposed to work,” he said. Atfield also hopes to con-
tinue boundary negotiations with the City of Brantford as part of the next boundary negotiations task force. He hopes to keep some of the county’s prime agricultural land in the county and offer the city land the county can’t service. “It can be done,” he said. “You have to be open minded instead of close minded, but negotiations will have to be a priority.” Atfield, a Paris resident, is retired and lives with his wife Sylvia. He has two grown children, Gerry and Brian. Dale Weatherbee, 53, has also thrown his name into the municipal election hat, hoping it treats him better than in 2006. Weatherbee ran in Ward 4 in the 2006 election and came in just one vote ahead of Kevin Hodge. In a recount, the vote was tied, so officials drew names from a hat and Hodge came out on top. Weatherbee was the first candidate to file his paperwork to run for County of Brant council. He wants to

ore candidates are trickling into the mix, vying for a spot on Brantford city council. One candidate in Ward 1 and another candidate in Ward 5 have filed their paperwork since last week. Incumbent Ward 1 councillor Jan Vanderstelt filed his papers on Tuesday, Jan. 7, and hopes for a chance to continue with the priorities he set out during his first term on council. “The job isn’t finished,” he said. At the top of his list is an increase in services for Ward 1. The amount of time it takes to get to and from work, to get groceries and to access recreation facilities are much higher than anywhere else in the city, Vanderstelt said. Most residents living in the Shellard neighbourhood work out of town, which makes for “one hell of a commute time,” he said, adding it
and I lived there for 15 years,” Schelhas said. “I feel like a lot of things there are being missed.” At the top of his list is targeting light industry as an option for the GreenwichMohawk brownfield. “Housing is not the right idea there,” he said. “A light industry four-plex like the kind we have on Copernicus Boulevard in Brantford would attract new businesses and create jobs for Eagle Place.” An electronic technician and industrial technician by trade, Schelhas has been politically active in the community before. He sought the NDP nomination for the 2011 federal election. The nod eventually went to Brian Van Tilborg. “This will be the first actual campaign for me as a candidate,” Schelhas said. “I’ve been active in campaigns before, though. I was the chief financial agent for (NDP candidate) Marc Laferriere the first time he ran and I’ve sat on the NDP executive, as well. “But I have been active with the local Conservative party, too. You’ll see that in my campaign that I am going to run on policies. I am a very practical person that wants to develop real answers.”

decision-making process.” Waldschmidt has served as chair of school council at Paris Central Public School and Paris District High School and of the systemlevel Grand Erie Parent Involvement Committee. He said making the move to apply for the trustee appointment took a lot of consideration, but it seemed like the logical next step in his involvement with the school system. “I had thought to run in the (upcoming) election and when Johnston stepped down for health reasons this was something I thought I’d give a try,” he said.
Waldschmidt doesn’t know if he’ll run yet. He wants to spend a few months getting to know the position before he commits to a full term. “I want to learn the job and I have up until the cut off date in September,” he said. “I’ll make a decision then.” Waldschmidt and his wife, Nancy, have four children – one attends Paris Central Public School, two attend Paris District High School and one recently graduated. Waldschmidt wants parents to know he’ll do his best to listen to and resolve issues that come up. He can be contacted at tom.waldschmidt@ granderie.ca
the release. In January 2010, bolts on an isolation valve in the refrigeration system at the Canning Street meat and poultry food processing facility broke, causing gas to be released in the plant. When the amount of ammonia gas in the plant approached unsafe levels, an automated alarm system went off and plant personnel evacuated the building. The Brantford Fire Department responded to the alarm. After the ammonia level in the plant could not be reduced to “safe levels,” windows and doors were opened and fans were used to clear the air. The release of ammonia gas caused “material discomfort”
to some individuals living and working downwind of the plant, according to the release. The effects included difficulty breathing and watering eyes, as well as the temporary closure of two businesses. Maple Leaf Foods Inc. was fined $100,000 plus a victim fine surcharge of $25,000. The company was given 90 days to pay the fine. When an incident like a spill or a leak occurs, it’s up to the company to report it, said Lindsay Davidson, a spokesperson for the MOE. The ministry has a Spills Action Centre that operates 24-hours a day. Maple Leaf Foods Inc. could not be reached for comment.

None of the additional budget items were approved at the meeting and the approval of the proposed 2014 budget was tabled until the end of budget discussions later this month. In response to questions about the supplementary budget items, Mayor Ron Eddy said all of the items and amounts could be subject to change from council. “(The amounts) can be lower, they can be whatever council decides,” Eddy said.

The total proposed budget stands at $43,994,209, which accounts for the previously reported 3.2 per cent tax increase for homeowners — an average of $20 for a resident with a home valued at $277,995.

ll four floors inside RiverView Terrace’s back building are being demolished after an attic sprinkler system failed, causing a flood of water inside of the Brant Avenue retirement residence on Jan. 8. “All interior walls are being removed,” said RiverView owner Greg Neid. “There’s nothing inside.” Current damage is estimated to be around $1-million, Neid said. “We’ve lost 30,000 square feet of building,” he said. At around 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 8, the sprinkler system went off inside the residence, spraying up to 200 gallons of water per minute, according to Neid. The Brantford fire department was on the scene to investigate. “It’s always a problem when you get cold snaps like we

electrical circuits. Everything was fine when we left.” Approximately 20 residents were initially displaced because of the flood, Neid said. RiverView Terrace staff made arrangements for some residents to stay with their family members and some went to other facilities in the area, including Telfer Place, Charlotte Villa and Brierwood Gardens. This week, RiverView Terrace began renting 10 beds from a closed wing at John Noble Home for its displaced residents. “We’re working with (other retirement homes) to try and keep everybody as healthy and happy as possible,” Neid said. “We’re really thankful to the community for stepping up.” All residents remaining on the property are now in rooms, some staying in the residence’s chapel, others in

a meeting room. “Nobody is down on the main floor next to the front door anymore,” he said. “People are in better accommodation.” Despite the shifting around, residents remain in good spirits. “People are actually coping surprisingly well,” Neid said. Because of the sprinkler failure, the fire alarm went off, which prompted an evacuation of the building. “The first assumption is it’s a fire, get people out,” Neid said. “It’s really all about safety.” The first problem tackled was to get all of the water out of the building and remove all of the wet drywall. As of Friday morning, 20 people started working on clearing out drywall and internal building material, and as many as 40 people were helping out by Sunday. Now that most of the water is out of the building, the focus is shifting to areas of the building that suffered only minimal damage. These areas will remain closed for a few weeks to be “exceedingly cautious,” Neid said. Other more affected areas of the residence might not reopen for four to six months, Neid said. “People want to come back because this is home, so we’re hoping to accommodate people as soon as we possibly can,” he said. Neid is posting updates online at the RiverView Terrace Facebook page, which is available at www.facebook. com/riverviewterraceca, to keep people informed about the cleanup process as it goes along. “We’re in a mess, but we’re coping,” he said. “The big message I have is, ‘thank you Brantford for helping out.’”

china King closed due to flooding China King’s palace flooded on Jan. 8, forcing the restaurant to close. Sean Lee, who runs the Colborne Street restaurant in Cainsville with his parents, said when the family went to open that morning, water was flowing from the dining room ceiling. That caused
the kitchen and entry way to flood as well. Lee said a 90-degree elbow joint in the restaurant’s plumbing froze overnight or early that morning and has caused more than $150,000 in damage to the walls, ceilings and floors of the restaurant. China King could be closed for up to four weeks for repairs, but Lee hopes to reopen Feb. 1.

to help aboriginal offenders turn their lives around by offering an opportunity to those who wish to change, Edward said. “I see this court more as potential instead of guarantee,” he said. Local administrative Judge Kevin Sherwood, who will also preside in the aboriginal persons’ court, said he expects the court to allow for greater allotment of time and available tools to get to some of the underlying causes offenders might be facing. But it won’t be without its challenges, he said, pointing to potential difficulties in funding for support services as well as legal representation. “There will be success stories,” Sherwood said. “And there will be failures.” Jonathan Rudin of Aboriginal Legal Services in Toronto said the court’s opening shows other communities that if Brantford can meet the needs of the people in its community, so can others.

Brantford took about a year and a half, said Judge Gethin Edward, who headed the initiative. Edward visited one of Toronto’s five Gladue courts back in September 2012. Gladue courts are also found in London and Sarnia. After consulting with Six Nations and hearing people’s concerns and criticisms of the Gladue model, Six Nations band council endorsed the court. “It is no secret that our people have not had a good relationship with the justice system here in Canada,” Six Nations elected band council chief Ava Hill said. “Hopefully (the court) will make a difference in the lives of our people with respect to the justice system.” Six Nations has considered establishing its own justice system, so they will watch Brantford’s aboriginal persons’ court with interest, Hill said.

efore the age of 12, Earl Lambert could be found breaking into homes and throwing rocks at cars. His actions were a reaction to the generations of pain and trauma faced by himself and his indigenous ancestors, he said. As a young offender he didn’t think anyone cared about his past, so he pretended he didn’t either. “When I was in front of a judge, nobody asked me what was at the root of my behaviour,” he said. That all changed when a judge suggested a Gladue report for his case. A Gladue report is a presentencing or bail hearing report that Canadian courts can request when considering sentencing for an offender of Aboriginal background. Lambert’s report looked at his background and used input from community agencies to find a sentence that fit for him. “For the first time in my life, I felt the support of the courts,” he said. Now a motivational speaker, Lambert was one of several representatives from the legal and aboriginal communities who spoke during the Jan. 7 opening of Brantford’s aboriginal persons’ court. The ceremony began and ended with a traditional opening and closing from Six Nations resident Jan Longboat. The court, which will see its first session on Jan. 17, will operate out of Brantford’s Ontario Court of Justice twice a month to deal with guilty pleas and sentencing for aboriginal persons.

makes a special appearance to music before visiting the children and posing for photos. Each year, Kids Can Fly orders new costumes and reuses old favourites. This year, Zorro will be an addition to the lineup. The morning comes to a close with a character parade and receiving line for children to shake the hands of their favourite characters. Kids receive a free book at the door on the way out. As much as the event focuses on children, it’s also about bringing back parents’ favourite childhood memories of the classics they read when they were younger, Brooks said. “The nostalgia that parents experience…I’ve had people
send me an email and say, ‘We spent the whole afternoon reading on the couch,’” she said. “Families need to be bonding, not just spending time together for the literacy angle, but for the relationship building”. The event is aimed at children between the ages of two and seven, but older kids will also enjoy the event, Brooks said. Tickets cost $10 for children 12 and under and $15 for adults. Babies are free of charge as long as they sit on a parent’s lap and don’t require a chair. The event has two one-hour sittings at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Doors open approximately 15 minutes before the hour to allow people to get seated. The breakfast includes a buffet of pancakes, sausage, fruit, cereal, juice, coffee and tea. Tickets go on sale Saturday, Jan. 18 starting at 10 a.m. at the Scotiabank on Lynden Road. “Tickets do sell fast,” Brooks said. “Last year we sold out in under half an hour.” As Kids Can Fly’s largest event of the year, the registered charity sells more than 400 tickets, but because they only make enough money off of ticket sales to recover their costs, they’re looking for sponsors to help make some profit on the event. Profits are used towards developing the Imagination Library, a program that provides a new, personalized book to registered children from the time they are born until they are five.

Raising awareness of Alzheimer’s
VIEWPOINT
M
any people consider Alzheimer’s disease a condition of the elderly – something they don’t have to think or worry about until the day they move into a retirement residence. But according to a report published in the Alzheimer Journal by Andrea Bradford, as many as 50 per cent of Canadians with dementia are not diagnosed early enough. More people are being diagnosed earlier – in their 40s and 50s – and the Alzheimer Society of Canada says there has been increasing evidence demonstrating that brain changes resulting in dementia can begin 25 years before any symptoms appear. During Alzheimer Awareness Month, the Alzheimer Society of Canada is looking to change the mentality around Alzheimer’s and draw attention to the fact that it’s a disease that is affecting people at younger and younger ages. There are currently 747,000 Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, according to the Alzheimer Society of Canada. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. That number is expected to double during the next two decades. In less than 20 years, 1.4 million Canadians will be faced with a diagnosis. And that doesn’t even count people who aren’t diagnosed, but are still affected by the disease. The lives of family, friends and caregivers of those diagnosed can change drastically because of the disease. “It’s affecting our workplace, it’s affecting our communities, it’s affecting our health care, it’s affecting the people who take care of the people who have been diagnosed,” Alzheimer Society of Brant community engagement co-ordinator Anne Bernhardt told Brant News. Paying attention to the problem now is key. To raise awareness and funds for much-needed Alzheimer’s and dementia care, support and research, the Alzheimer Society hosts its annual Walk for Memories in more than 65 communities across Ontario. In Brant, two local walks are scheduled – one in Brantford this Sunday from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre and one in Paris on Sunday, Jan. 26, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. at the Syl Apps Community Centre. Last year, the Brant walks drew more than 300 participants and raised $62,000. Taking a few hours out of your day to get some exercise while raising awareness and funds is little to ask when it comes to such a devastating and all-encompassing disease. Seventy-four per cent of Canadians know someone with dementia and more Canadians are developing the disease, said Mimi Lowi-Young, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of Canada. “We want to make sure they’re getting the help they need at every stage of the disease,” Lowi-Young said. “As devastating as the news can be, early diagnosis brings relief to families, gives them control over their situation and adds more years of living active and fulfilling lives.” Visit www.walkformemories.ca to learn more and help lead the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.

❱❱ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Help bring Kiwanis Field to reality in 2014 The Kiwanis Field Committee is hopeful that 2014 will be a community-changing year. To date, more than $1.4 million has been raised toward the goal of completing Brantford’s state-of-theart, multi-purpose athletic facility. Built for the community, by the community, Kiwanis Field will host numerous groups, including track and field, football, soccer, rugby, field lacrosse, Special Olympics and ParaSports. Information is available at www.kiwanisfield.com We are calling on Brantford to help us reach our fundraising finish line. With a goal of breaking ground in 2014, it is the
tremendous financial support of Brantford that will enable us to build a facility that will serve the needs of all youth and that the entire city can point to with pride as a symbol of Brantford’s renaissance. The Kiwanis Field Committee looks forward to seeing more than three years of work come to fruition for the benefit of a wide range of community groups, sports and athletes. The Kiwanis Field Committee
The truth behind Conservative tax tales There are several things wrong with the Harper government’s never-ending claims that they are brilliant
tax cutters. To start with, it’s untrue. Their first fiscal decision after taking office in 2006 was to increase personal income taxes. Later that fall, they imposed a toxic new Conservative tax on income trusts, which obliterated $25 billion from the savings accounts of two million ordinary Canadians. More recently, Mr. Harper has increased the overall federal tax burden in each of his last four budgets. Conservative claims about lower taxes for families need a scrupulous reality check. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty says they are “saving the average family of four more than $3,100 a year in tax.” But it all depends on what type of “family” you’re talking about. You can construct an illustration which would fit the Conservative model – with two parents, two
children, a six-figure income and consumer spending of more than $50,000 every year (including over $1,000 for art lessons). But for most families – in fact, for 70 per cent of Canadian families – this is simply not their reality. The vast majority of middle-class Canadians haven’t seen a significant improvement in their real incomes for the better part of 30 years. But their living costs have gone up and debt loads have ballooned. And then there’s Mr. Harper’s new federal debt burden to take into account. He has run six consecutive deficits so far, adding more than $165 billion to Canada’s overall debt load. Any tax cuts claimed by Mr. Harper are paid for with borrowed money.

counselling,” Bernhardt said. “We want it to remain that way.” In Brantford and the County of Brant, approximately 2,100 people are living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. This includes clients of the Alzheimer Society as well as individuals living in longterm care homes. Between 2012 and 2013, the Alzheimer Society provided education and support to more than 970 registered clients in Brantford and the County of Brant. “One of the things that we would all love to see here at the Alzheimer Society of Brant is to have a dementiafriendly community and to work on developing that,” Bernhardt said. “We need to go back to being very considerate of people because you don’t know what journey they’re walking, you don’t know what they’re experiencing.” Walkers can register online at www.walkformemories.ca or by dropping by the office at 6 Bell Lane, Suite 701.

lzheimer’s disease impacts more than just the people who are diagnosed. “It’s affecting the workplace, it’s affecting our communities, it’s affecting our healthcare, it’s affecting the people who take care of the people who have been diagnosed,” Alzheimer Society of Brant community engagement events co-ordinator Anne Bernhardt said. With the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia on the rise, the Alzheimer Societies of Brant, Haldimand-Norfolk and Hamilton-Halton want to raise money and awareness through annual Walk for Memories events. “(The incidences of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia) are rising rapidly due to not only aging baby boomers, but people as young as in their 40s and 50s being diagnosed,” she said. Walks will be held locally throughout Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. The first walk is scheduled in Brantford on Jan. 19 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Wayne Gretzky
Sports Centre, and a second will be held in Paris at Syl Apps Community Centre on Jan. 26 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. In 2013, more than 300 participants came out to the indoor walks in Brantford and the County of Brant. With the additional support from national and local coporations, more than $62,000 was raised. The walks, which will also feature a silent auction, entertainment and information booths, are open to both clients and caregivers. “It’ll be a lot of fun packed into a couple hours,” Bernhardt said. All of the money raised at the organization’s biggest fundraiser stays within the community. The money is used toward the Alzheimer Society’s programs that support not only their clients, but their caregivers and family members, Bernhardt said.

scriptive instruction tailored for the needs of the students. Every school board has a special education department, normally headed by a superintendent of education. Special education services are available for both elementary and secondary school students. Frequently, schools employ educational assistants who assist identified special education students at school. Formal special education identification normally can be divided into four possible areas: intellectual, behavioural, physical and communicational. Special education is a form of extra, individualized support that can be provided for a student who cannot keep up with similar-aged students. A child can make tremendous progress under the tutelage of a caring, experienced special education teacher and educational assistant. If you are in doubt about the possible need of special education assistance for your child, contact your local school and ask the principal about what services can be offered. Greg Anderson is a retired school superintendent who can be reached at www.bullystopnow.ca.

receives additional learning support from the learning (or special) resource teacher within a mainstream class that contains other children. The special education student belongs to a regular class and participates in all the activities as the other students, but has the assistance of a special teacher within the classroom. The extra teacher modifies the assigned work for the student to enable him or her to more readily be able to complete it. When the student does not require additional support, they continue to be a part of the class, carrying out the regularly assigned tasks without the help from the special education teacher. The alternative to offering support to students within the class is to segregate them into their own class. In this system of delivery, students in need of special education support are gathered into a smaller class that is temporarily or permanently withdrawn from the mainstream class. Students work in a small, highly-structured environment with a welltrained teacher who focuses on their individual needs. A segregated special education class offers an intensive, pre❱❱

All of these students require specialized educational programs if they are to meet with success in the educational system. Special education is normally taught by teachers who are trained to deal with children that have widely varying needs. There are two fundamental ways that children with special needs are taught: integrated or segregated. By these terms, I am referring to the nature of the services provided. Schools that provide special education support in an integrated fashion meet the needs of the individual child within the regular classroom. An integrated approach is frequently referred to as an “inclusive” model of special education. The student is normalized as much as possible in that the child

County of Brant residents looking to butt out in 2014 can now access support on their journey. In partnership with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the Brant County Health Unit is offering Smoking Treatment for Ontario Patients Program workshops. The STOP Program workshops include a one-time session offering tips and tools about how to give up smoking, in addition to a free five-week supply of nicotine patches. “January is a really key time for lots of New Year’s resolutions, including quitting smoking,” said Karen Haughey, public health nurse in the tobacco control program at the Brant County Health Unit. The three-hour workshop
aimed at people who smoke daily, will offer relapse prevention strategies and information about how to address unhealthy lifestyle habits that can accompany smoking. Morning, afternoon and evening sessions will be available. Held at the Brant County Health Unit in Brantford, the workshops will run throughout January and continue into March, but Haughey said the program could be extended. In a community where 28 per cent of residents smoke – a figure seven per cent higher than the provincial average – having quitting tools available locally is crucial, Haughey said. “We can tailor (the sessions) to our local community instead of them having to travel,” she said. Those interested in registering for the program can contact 519-753-49237 ext. 455 to see if they are eligible or for more information.

Changing the face of First Nations fashion LAUREN BARON BRANT NEWS
C
ontemporary aboriginal fashion is not about headdresses, beads and
present accurate and contemporary and cutting-edge fashions. These are highend fashion designers, they are authentic First Nations design and art. I think it’s important to give these artists and designers a stage to present that image and their creations.” For those who missed the show, pieces from each designer will be on display until April 18 in the centre’s gallery. The exhibit also includes accessories, fashion sketches and photographs from the designers’ collections. “Unfortunately, you see native design all the time, but you don’t see it from an actual aboriginal person,” Surette said. “Having this on display is supporting aboriginal artists and showing
their actual interpretation of our fashion and culture. “You’re not going to see something that’s on a shirt from Urban Outfitters. This is different. This is the real deal.” Surette’s pieces in the exhibit include two contemporary strapless dresses that borrow from her heritage. The first is a three-tiered green dress that pays homage to aboriginal artist Norval Morrisseau through woodland-style flowers as embellishment. The second is a white, teal and green simple A-line that acts as a landscape, depicting images of spring. “I like to think that as a native person I put a lot of pride into our culture and heritage,” Surette said. “The four seasons have a huge im-
pact on our culture and the spring dress was something I had a lot of fun with because that’s when the earth becomes alive again. There is regrowth and birth.” DeMontigny will include pieces from her couture collection, including a beaded evening dress in gold and silver suede with a matching beaded headpiece. “(My culture) is part of who I am but it’s not necessarily obvious,” she said. “That’s why I do what I do. I’m trying to change people’s perspectives of native clothing and native culture. We are not stuck in the 1800s. Yes, there is traditional clothing that we wear for specific ceremonies and powwows and things that are culturally specific, but it’s not how we dress every day.”
Johnson chose to continue the fashion show into an exhibit to give more people the opportunity to see the diversity in native fashion, and also showcase the works in a gallery setting. “Too often fashion is relegated to just being thought of as a separate entity from the arts, but the process these designers go through to create these articles is just like any other art form,” she said. “They deserve an exhibition.” Materials and information about each artist will be on hand during the exhibit for anyone interested in acquiring a piece from the designers’ collections or learning more about each designer.

feathers. “We’ve noticed in the mainstream fashion industry there is a lot of appropriation and misappropriation of First Nations designs and what they misconstrue to be First Nations designs,” said Naomi Johnson, artistic director for the Woodland Cultural Centre. Controversies, like when Victoria’s Secret used a Native American-style headdress on a model in its 2012 fashion show, further stereotypes and paint all aboriginals with the same
brush, Johnson said. “We are a deeper culture than what gets presented in mainstream,” she said. To combat the stereotypical native image, Woodland held FashioNative, the centre’s first fashion show in more than two decades, on Monday. The show featured the designs of four First Nations designers – Ancaster-based Angela DeMontigny, founder and CEO of Young Native Fashion, Chessa Surette of Batchewana First Nation, Toronto designer Sage Paul, member of the English River First Nation, and Tracy Toulouse, who grew up on the Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation. “There’s been a lot of stereotypical things prevalent in mainstream and in a way this is to combat that and

to this workshop,” Oleskiw said. When Academy of Dance brings in a dance celebrity – which is about every six weeks – to teach local kids, it’s not about promoting the studio, but promoting the culture of dance for the entire Brant region. “We don’t do this just as a studio event, but rather a dance event to bring everyone together,” director Nancy English VanDyk said. “Teachers from the other studios in town will sign up and bring their students. This is about opening up Brantford to the whole world of dance.” And it’s not just students from Brantford. “We’ve had people come from Toronto for some of the dance workshops we’ve had here,” Oleskiw said.

standard rating with the American Association of Feline Practitioners. “It’s basically a way of certifying that you take an extra effort to make your waiting room cat friendly, make your staff more cat friendly and maybe your hospitalization units are more cat friendly,” St. Denis said. “The other thing they look at is how we practice.” St. Denis said she strives to assist clients with complicated cases through her expertise. “I really found that the focus has to be there and I enjoy it a lot,” she said. “We can really move forward and further into a problem.” She would like to expand further by using her expertise to educate others. St. Denis will assist with complicated feline cases on the Veterinary Information Network website. St. Denis will also become one of Canada’s five specialists to be part of a group called Cat Healthy. “They go around lecturing at various conferences and they provide a supportive information booklet for veterinarians to use as guidelines for proper health care for cats – from vaccines to blood work to de-worming,” she said. With so few feline specialists in Canada and around the world, St. Denis hopes emerging veterinarians will take an interest in specializing in feline care. Other feline specialists operate in Hamilton, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver.
LIFE
Dr. Kelly St. Denis gives a cat a checkup at the Charing Cross Cat Clinic.
fter six-and-a-half years of operating Charing Cross Cat Clinic, Dr. Kelly St. Denis is now a board-certified feline practitioner. St. Denis is one of only five people in Canada and 90 worldwide to have that designation. “It’s an additional level of certification above the regular veterinarian degree,” St. Denis said. The certification is issued through the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners following a thorough evaluation process that includes writing two lengthy case reports involving critical diagnostics, references, selfreporting on job activities and a two-day written exam. Veterinarians also have to practice feline medicine for a minimum of six years. St. Denis found out she earned her certification in November. Charing Cross Cat Clinic has practiced strictly feline medicine since opening its doors. St. Denis said she wanted to focus her efforts solely on cats after working in Ottawa with certified feline practitioner Dr. Susan Little, who travels around the world to lecture about health care for cats. “My intention from day one of opening this clinic was to
have an exclusive cat clinic,” St. Denis said. “Having a cat practice in and of itself is a better environment for the cats because they can be stressed out by other animals, noises, smells, and dogs in the waiting room. “When you come here, it is quieter, there are no smells and no dogs in the waiting room so it has had a big impact that way.” People who work specifically with cats are also more in tune with a cat’s stress factors and behaviours. “They can calm them down better,” St. Denis said. “We don’t have nearly as many problems with fractious, hard-to-handle cats here as you would in another clinic.” Because of that, Charing Cross Cat Clinic often sees felines that no other veterinarians have been able to treat or handle. With her focus specifically on felines, St. Denis is also able to better diagnose and treat her client’s serious medical issues. “When I read at night or do continuing education, I go to cat stuff only. My focus is not diverted by canine or any other species at all,” she said. “I can really focus down on what I’m doing so I have the most up-to-date knowledge on a regular basis that maybe another veterinarian doesn’t have time for.” As a certified feline specialist, St. Denis offers high-end medicines and specializes in internal medicine, which has earned the clinic a gold

Learning from the challenges of the year that was mary-katherine boss FOR BRANT NEWS
A
s 2014 begins, it’s natural to look back at the challenges of 2013. In a year that my friends have affectionately deemed “the worst year ever” for me, it would also be silly to ignore all that I have learned. In October 2012, I mysteriously developed a “bad back.” There was no trauma and no apparent cause. Apprehensive, I turned to my family doctor, who did a physical examination and ran blood tests, eventually telling me to see a physiotherapist and massage
therapist. As 2013 rolled around, the pain had spread and the referred pain was all across my back, neck and down into my arms and legs. Some days it was painful to walk and others it was hard to stay still. The pain shifted around as if it had a mind of its own. I have now lived undiagnosed for over a year and although I do have good days, I’m usually in constant pain or discomfort. Sometimes it feels as if somebody is physically stabbing me in the back. Most days, it’s not quite that severe but still quite uncomfortable, as if my muscles are all balled up and twisted together.
Unsurprisingly, this has made several everyday activities difficult, including class attendance. Some classes are three hours long. Sitting through them on not-so-comfortable chairs is the most obvious problem, but it extends beyond that. It’s very difficult for me just to sit still and write assignments or papers. I’m like most students in that, once the ideas start flowing, I like to work on them for extended chunks of time. But concentration is difficult when I constantly have to get up and stretch, find a new place to sit, worry about my posture or simply feel general discomfort.
Laurier professors are usually quite understanding. Still, it’s difficult for me to ask for accommodation, because most professors require official doctor’s notes, and the nature of my condition means I don’t need to visit a medical doctor regularly. It also feels embarrassing and silly to ask for an extension when I can provide no better excuse than “my back hurts.” A few months ago, I decided to take a 45-minute train trip to my hometown and back every week to get some tough love from my massage therapist. The clinic isn’t open on weekends, however, so these trips mean giving up nearly a full weekday. I now visit every other week and I can
Most, like me, may have no visible signs of a problem, so unless they tell someone, they are viewed as completely average. They may share my apprehensions about seeking Laurier’s Accessible Learning services because, like me, they feel their condition isn’t worthy enough, or that other people need the help even more. It’s been hard to learn this first-hand, but 2013 has taught me the valuable lesson of empathy. Challenges abound at Laurier and everywhere, and I can never presume to know the depth of problems other people face every day. Mary-Katherine Boss is a fourth-year journalism student at Laurier Brantford.

usually position the appointment so I don’t have to miss classes, but it almost always disrupts valuable study time. I frequently have to worry about stress, the cold and the aggravation of my far-fromorthopedic residence bed. Despite this, I’ve managed to maintain several parttime jobs while staying on the dean’s honour roll. None of this means I’m some extraordinary case, however. There are students at Laurier Brantford who face far greater challenges to their education than I do, yet still excel. Some face life-threatening conditions, disabilities or mental health problems. Others deal on a daily basis with the debilitating effects of societal discrimination.

Dirt: a valuable natural resource

argue that the most valuable natural resource in Canada is not oil or natural gas, or even our fresh water. It is our soil. I agree with this group. Through reading and experience, I have learned that our willingness to add to and enhance the quality of our soil, to invest in it in every way possible, not only makes eminent sense but is a necessity if we plan on farming and gardening sustainably. Perhaps you will think that there is very little that a gardener can do on a small residential lot or condo balcony to enhance and protect the soil that feeds us. Maybe so, maybe not. Truth is our attitude toward soil and the enduring qualities that it possesses when treated with due respect is an attitude that is rooted firmly at home. That should be good enough reason to soil-save if you ask me.
m o g c . Wa Jag SOIL: A LIVING THING
As a gardener I am acutely aware of the impact that my activity has on the soil in my garden. If I plant tomatoes in the same soil two seasons in a row I invite a host of unwanted disease and pests. If I don’t add compost and sharp sand to the perennial beds every second year the productive cycle of flowering and seed production drops

ecently, I enjoyed a car ride with my son that took several hours. My son Ben attends agricultural college in Ridgetown, Ont. Deep in the heartland of this province’s food belt, Ridgetown operates under the agricultural department of the University of Guelph. Conversation moved from one thing to another and landed for a time on the topic of soil. Dirt. Loam. Ben reflected on the experience one of his classmates is having with his farming family. Making a living “off the land” for several generations, this kid was working on some post-secondary education before he committed himself to work with his father and uncle full time on the family farm. I asked: “So, he would be a useful resource for his dad and uncle, given the new
noticeably. I have learned that if I do not “feed the soil” the plants that grow in it will draw nutrients from it to the detriment of the soil itself. Soil – or dirt – is a colony of living things that are interwoven in their dependence on one another for survival. In truth, the survival of bacteria (a primary workhorse in the rebuilding process of soil) is dependent on the death of the green, living world that it supports. Leaves and trees fall to the forest floor to provide a rich fodder of raw organic material that, as it rots, feeds the bacteria and insect life that converts it into something that plant life can use. Mycorrhizae and a host of insects finish the job. Our gardens do not generally benefit from rotting tree limbs or the fallen leaves unless we leave them there intentionally. All too often we blow our leaves into a pile with a power-assisted leaf blaster and bag them up for the municipality to haul away. Does that make sense? No, I didn’t think so. There are some people who

knowledge that he has about current farming practices, then, right?” “Wrong dad. His dad and uncle know it all (snicker).” Ben went on to explain that the family farmed more than 1,000 acres last year and did not make any money in spite of record commodity prices. “Why,” I asked. “Because they just keep plowing the same soil and putting the same crops in. They don’t use cover crops or rotate their crops as we are taught in our crop sciences class.” The return per acre was way below that expected on a well-managed farm.

Bone grafting allows us to replace some or all of the missing bone. tooth or teeth with a bridge or with dental implant supported restorations. Two of the most important factors determining implant success are the amount and the quality of bone where the implant is to be placed. Bone grafting allows us to replace some or all of the missing bone so that bridges will fit better and so implants can be successfully placed. There are several types of bone grafting procedures available for the dental surgeon to choose from. The type of graft used is determined by a number of factors including the location and size of the defect. We sometimes use the patient’s own bone which can be harvested at the time of implant site preparation. This bone may be taken from the chin or another part of the mouth. For large defects, bone can be borrowed from a distant site like the hip while the patient is un-

then suturing a protective membrane or barrier to keep it in place during healing. Interestingly, most patients report they have less post-operative discomfort when a graft has been placed than those who have a tooth removed without a graft. It is very common to do bone grafting for implant placement and we usually tell people to expect to have a graft of some sort when implants are being planned. So, if you ever need a tooth extracted ask your dentist if a bone graft should be done to enhance the form and function of the area. If you are considering an implant to replace that tooth be sure to let the dentist know since grafting is frequently indicated. Yours for better dental health,

der a general anesthetic. More commonly however the bone we use for grafting is purchased from a tissue bank and may be either human bone or bovine bone. This bone is in a powder or gel form that can be easily packed and manipulated to fit the site we want to restore. There are also synthetic grafting materials which serve as a scaffold on which new bone formation can occur. All of the commercially available bone grafting products are very safe, and because of the processing done in preparing these materials, there is virtually no concern about rejection, tissue typing or disease transmission. The best time to do a bone graft is at the time of tooth extraction in what we refer to as a socket preservation procedure. This simply involves packing the socket with grafted bone

Bone Grafting
hen a tooth is extracted, the hole left behind usually does not completely fill back up with bone. This is especially a problem if the extraction required surgical removal of bone to get the tooth out or if there was pre-existing bone loss from infection, trauma or periodontal disease. Moreover, since form follows function, there will usually be a gradual loss of bone where a tooth once stood because the bone in that area no longer has the function of supporting a tooth. The loss of bone at an extraction site can leave unsightly defects which are especially noticeable in the front of the mouth in what we refer to as the smile zone. Sometimes the loss of bone and gum tissue limits the dentist’s ability to adequately replace the missing

Dalpe developing defensive game with Canucks Paris native enjoying first season on West Coast SEAN ALLEN BRANT NEWS

H
ard work pays off. Paris native Zac Dalpe has been playing the tough minutes for the Vancouver Canucks this season on the fourth line – sometimes playing as little as five minutes per game. But that changed this past week, when Dalpe was given a shot on the team’s top line with twin superstars Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin. “I don’t want to say it’s a permanent thing – it was a decision made during a game and it ended up benefitting the team,” Dalpe said in an interview with Brant News. “But it’s so cool to be playing with these world-class play-
ers. I hope to continue to help the offence and stay there a while longer.” In his very first game with the Sedins, Dalpe tipped a shot from Daniel past St. Louis Blues goaltender Brian Elliott for his second goal of the season – and his second goal in January. “Getting this experience on the top line is something to build off of,” Dalpe said. “Even if I get bumped back down, later on down the road I will know I can play there. When the decision needs to be made again, I’ll be thrown back into the mix.” Coach John Tortorella is notorious in the NHL for his tough style, but Dalpe said he is a big fan of the attitude Tortorella instills in the team. “He is firm, but he is very fair,” Dalpe said. “As much as he is demanding, he is rewarding. He focuses on the little plays that other people don’t see that are important. I think it’s helped us a lot. “We may not be top three in the division right now, but I

remains to stay playing full time in the NHL, I’m really focused on consistency,” Dalpe said. “That means playing without the puck. I am getting the importance of defence and making the right plays away from the puck.” Dalpe is also embracing the fame and attention that comes with playing for a Canadian NHL franchise. He was the star of an online video that generated a lot of views when he and the other first-year Canucks sang on stage with Sarah McLachlan during a December benefit show. Dalpe, who is no stranger to singing or music, gets prompted by McLachlan to do a solo in the video. “The idea is that we are supposed to be embarrassed and look silly on stage, but I didn’t want to make a joke of it because I’m an undercover aspiring musician,” Dalpe said. “I did my best to keep up with her and I’m glad it’s on video for years to come.” He also professes his love for McLachlan in the video. “I meant to say ‘I love your
voice,’” Dalpe said. “But it came out as ‘I love you.’ That’s not exactly the kind of thing the guys will let me live down.” Drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2008, the Canucks traded for Dalpe this past summer. A fringe benefit of playing in B.C. is that Dalpe’s younger brother, Ben, is nearby. Ben is also chasing his hockey dream out west. Ben plays for the Penticton Vees in the British Columbia Hockey League and has committed to play NCAA Division I hockey for Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York next season. But in the meantime, Zac enjoys having his younger brother so close. “It’s pretty weird that I get to see my brother considering I live out in Vancouver, but I’m very happy with it,” Dalpe said. “(Ben) will come up to Vancouver and stay at my place when he has some time and he’ll catch some of my games.”

T-Birds playing underdogs PJC upsets BCI, looks to make waves in playoffs SEAN ALLEN BRANT NEWS
SPORTS
T
he Pauline Johnson Collegiate Thunderbirds were told they weren’t supposed to be competitive this season. Having already proved the critics wrong with a 24-point margin of victory against the Brantford Collegiate Institute Mustangs last Thursday, the T-Birds will remain focused and committed into the playoffs. And the good news for the T-Birds? Their first round playoff opponent will be the Mustangs. “We came in as the underdogs and played as a team last week,” T-Birds co-captain Austin Roloson said. “That’s what happens when we play as a team – we get wins.” The T-Birds opened the season with four consecutive
losses before getting the best of the Paris District High School Panthers in their Dec. 16 matchup. But with this win against the Mustangs, the T-Birds are now 2-7 on the season with one game remaining against the last place Panthers. The Mustangs are 3-6 with one game left against the second place North Park Collegiate Trojans. That means the T-Birds have a chance to claim fourth place in the standings when the regular season wraps up on Thursday. “We’ll keep competing as best we can in every game,” Roloson said. “We can compete with anybody in this league as long as we play as a team.” The Thunderbirds have a solid mix of Grade 12 and Grade 11 players, with just one fifth-year starter in Dakotta Robinson. Guard Swapnil Sharma and Robinson hit their fair share of perimeter shots for the team, while Roloson, Austin Wagenaar and Zack Sewell play inside. Alex Kwan has been among
Mustangs scorers - Chris Gorski (11), Mackenzie Mark (11), Noel Bomberry (9).
the team’s points leaders off the bench in some games. “We have a really good mix to build for the future,” Roloson said. “And now we are clicking at the right time.” Roloson said the players have built chemistry on the court through the season, but also credits their improvement to a focus on defence. “We are working to tip every pass,” he said. “We’ve come a long way defensively through this season.” Following the conclusion of the regular season on Thursday, the teams take a two-week break for exams. When basketball resumes on Tuesday, Feb. 4, it will be the playoff quarter-finals, with the bottom four teams squaring off. The first and second place teams will get a bye to the semifinals on Thursday, Feb. 6. First place will be decided in this Thursday’s game between the 8-1 St. John’s College Green Eagles and the 7-2 Trojans. The game will tip-off at 7:30 p.m. at North Park Collegiate.

Brendan’s “can-do” attitude is every coach’s dream! Anytime Brendan is taught a new skill, he is determined to do it right. A Grade 12 student in the job skills program at St. John’s College, he is known as diligent and hardworking with a caring heart. Brendan represented his school in the Rick Hansen 25th anniversary Many-in-Motion Tour and was also a leader in the development of an anti-bullying campaign. From an early age, Brendan has enjoyed participation in sports. The confidence and “can-do” attitude he has developed have enabled him to pursue many athletic endeavours and he has thrived in the physical education courses at school. Brendan gives his 100 per cent every time he comes out for a practice or competition.

At the most recent swim meet in Simcoe, he had three first place finishes and a second in his four events. Brendan is looking forward to another great year of sports activity in 2014, with personal goals of improving his athletic skills and his academic success. Brendan is an awesome young man that is going to go far and we’re proud to have him as a Community Champion!

ton Bombers to make the postseason. “We made the trades to help make sure we never miss the playoffs again after this season,” Spadafora said. “We have some exciting young players and most of our team had minimal junior B experience before this season. It’s going to be fun to have a core of players coming back next year with experience and we can work on adding some pieces.” That’s not to say the 99ers can’t still make a push and earn a playoff berth this season. But they will have to do it without Atkins, who was the team’s leading scorer when he was traded, and Del Conte, the goaltender who has been in net for 15 of the team’s 17 points in the standings. The 99ers will retain the junior B rights to Atkins if he returns to the league next season. “We think he could be a big part of what we do next year

n Friday, Mitch Atkins scored three points for the Brantford 99ers as they almost stole a win in Stratford against the Cullitons. On Sunday, the 19-year-old forward collected two assists against the 99ers in his debut with the Waterloo Siskins. “It was definitely a unique experience playing for (the 99ers) on Friday and then turning around and playing against them on Sunday,” Atkins said. “I’ve been on four junior teams, so I’ve moved around, but this was definitely unique with how the schedule was. “It was weird being on the other side, especially with how close I was with the guys in Brantford. But I had a really great time in Brantford and they treated me so well.” Atkins was one of two players the team shipped off on the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League trade deadline on Friday. Goaltender Marcus Del Conte was traded to the Kitchener Dutchmen and Atkins to the Siskins in exchange for cash and future considerations. “We knew making the playoffs was going to be difficult as an expansion franchise,” general manager Mike Spadafora said. “We have been very competitive this season, but at the same time we want to ensure we are building to the future.” With only 12 games remaining in the regular season, the 99ers would need to make up an 11-point deficit on the eighth place Bramp-
squad to debut players from their affiliate junior C Simcoe Storm – both up front and in net. “We have three goaltenders with the Storm and we aren’t sure if we’ll pick one to try out as the backup or give all three a try,” Spadafora said. “On forward, we’ll look at some Storm guys we feel can maybe play for us next year or call up some Brantford midget hockey players.” Storm starting netminder Avery Allen has already been backup for the 99ers this season when Del Conte or Andre Keire was unavailable. Tim Porter and Evon Wolfe are the other goaltenders that might get a look. The 99ers host the Stratford Cullitons on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre. The club then visits the Listowel Cyclones on Friday. R0011711496

Paris Mounties defenceman Dan Pugliese celebrates a power-play assist in his Mounties debut on Saturday against the Woodstock Navy Vets at the PHOTO BY SEAN ALLEN, BRANT NEWS Brant Sports Complex.

n a win streak of epic proportions, the Paris Mounties will have to reel in their tempers on the ice if they want it to continue. The Mounties earned their 17th-consecutive victory on Saturday night with a 4-1 win over the visiting Woodstock Navy Vets at the Brant Sports Complex. But the game between the Midwestern Junior C Hockey League’s first place and last place team was much closer than it should have been because the Mounties played most of the first and second periods short one man on the ice.
The Mounties, who now sport a 26-5-1 record, took 21 minutes in penalties during the first two periods on Saturday and actually trailed the Navy Vets, who are now 3-30-1, by a goal at the first intermission. “We were pretty undisciplined and I haven’t really seen that from us before,” coach Tyler Brown said following the victory. “We have low penalty minutes on the season, so this was kind of a novelty. I think when we are against the stiffer competition, the guys will rein it in and come out hard.” The Mounties have two games in hand on the New Hamburg Firebirds and Ayr Centennials in the standings, but all three teams are
hoped to come from Dan Pugliese, whom the Mounties traded for during the league’s Friday transaction deadline. The 6’3” Ancaster native is the property of the Owen Sound Attack, but only played one game in the OHL before dealing with an injury. Most recently, he was playing junior A hockey with the Hamilton Red Wings. “But he and the coach didn’t see eye to eye on ice time,” Brown said. “I’ve been following him since I saw him at the OHA cup last season.” Pugliese, a defenceman, played big minutes in his Mounties debut Saturday and picked up an assist on the power play. Also acquired at the deadline by the Mounties was junior B goaltender Jackson McIntosh.

tied at 53 points heading into a showdown week. Looking to extend their win streak, the Mounties will visit the Centennials in Ayr on Thursday night and then host the Firebirds at the Brant Sports Complex on Saturday. But the team will have to continue its streak without captain and leading scorer Ian Fowler. Saturday was the first game of Fowler’s four-game suspension for a spearing penalty on Friday night in Tavistock, so he will be out for both contests this week. His wingers on the top line, Brodie Smith and Brady Wheelans, showed no sign of slowing down on Saturday, though. The pair connected with new linemate Scott Sippel on a pair of goals. Wheelans was recently named the MWJCHL Player of the Month for December.
