FIGHTING THE SYSTEM

Caledonia citizen Ron Hubert has filed an appeal with the Ontario Municipal Board in an attempt to stop construction of the 3,500 home McClung Road housing project that could almost double the population of Caledonia. He alleges by-laws, zoning and standard land transfer procedures have been circumvented by Haldimand County to push through the multi-million dollar development. Haldimand Council has filed a counter-motion to have his appeal thrown out before Hubert’s challenges are heard by the OMB. Story on page 3. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE PM42686517

Gwich'in criticize Supreme Court appeal INUVIK – Early in December, the Yukon Supreme Court ruled the Yukon government’s change to the Peel land use plan would not protect the Peel River watershed and was therefore in violation of First Nations’ interests.

Now, the Gwich’in Tribal Council is criticizing the Yukon government for appealing that decision.

In a CBC article, Gwich’in Tribal Council Vice-President Norman Snowshoe is quoted saying the appeal “sends a very clear message that this government is unwilling to work with First Nations.�

In appealing the decision, the Yukon gov-

ahead with their plans.

The plans were drawn out in 2013, but, wary of “historic mercury poisoning from a nearby pulp mill,� reports a CBC article, the First Nation had requested the review.

The environmental approvals branch director told the CBC they were ensuring logging would comply with the most current requirements. “(But) why would we want to trust the government with this? It’s all broken trust,� Chief Roger Fobister told the CBC.

ernment has argued that it has the final say when it comes to public land, but Snowshow said their actions threaten to sever their relationship.

Snowshoe said they are considering further action.

Grassy Narrows hasn't given up

GRASSY NARROWS – The Grassy Narrows First Nation expects to continue blockading logging trucks attempting to come into their territory to conduct deforesting activities.

This is because despite a request made by the First Nation for a thorough examination of the link between logging and mercury poisoning, the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has decided to go

transfer 2,400 acres of ancestral Apache lands to an Australian-English mining company.

The bill now goes for a vote to the senate, where the San Carlos Apache Tribe leader is asking them to abstain until the provision for the land-transfer is removed.

If passed, the copper mining company will acquire land in the Tonto National Forest in Southeastern Arizona in exchange of “5,000 acres in parcels scattered around the state,� reports Indian Country Media Network.

Woman files complaint against Regina Police

REGINA – Brooke Watson, 25, has filed a complaint with the Public Complaints Commission for mistreatment she says she suffered at the hands

of Regina police.

Watson and her sister had been picked up by Watson’s apartment, after police were allegedly called to investigate two intoxicated women, according to a CBC article.

Watson said an ambulance took her 16-yearold sister away because she was having a panic attack, but the police took Watson for a ride outside of the city before taking her to jail. She said she was asking to be taken to her mother’s home the entire time, but the police ignored her and turned off their electronic equipment instead.

Watson’s mother, Lisa Dustyhorn, wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday that she had been looking for her daughter all day. She also wrote that she had called the police but did not get any information and that her

daughter had been released later on without any charges.

Regina police confirmed to the CBC that they had picked up a 25 and 16 year old on Jan. 4, 2015. They said that because Watson was unable to provide them with a place to go, they arrested her for public intoxication.

The video footage along with the GPS data of the vehicles have been sent to the Public Complaints Commission for review.

Caledonia man cries foul over massive new development

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – A Caledonia man is challenging Haldimand County over claims that a large housing project known as the Empire Communities/ McClung Road development and other development projects, including the former Douglas Creek Estates project, may have been illegal.

Hubert has filed an appeal through the Ontario Municipal Board to the Empire Communities’ McClung Road project, which was to have begun grading this past fall.

“What I have been told is that the GRCA wanted more studies done before construction begins,” Haldimand Mayor Ken Hewitt told the TRT. But Hubert’s appeal no doubt has more than a little to do with the delay.

The proposed McClung Road project would almost double the population of Caledonia and see some 3,500 residential homes built in Northeast Caledonia. Hubert argues that the development was

processed incorrectly, and that the policies put in place to protect and preserve farmland and the general public were knowingly and willfully bypassed by Haldimand Council, who approved the project prematurely.

“I appealed that (McClung Road project) through the Ontario Municipal Board on the grounds that it was premature, that they didn’t have a secondary plan in place,” says Hubert. “It went straight from agricultural land to residential development without following the provincial guidelines to preserve farmland.”

Hubert alleges that the developers, Empire Communities, did not complete the application required before Haldimand Council gave the project its stamp of approval, which Hubert maintains is illegal but has been standard practice for certain developers.

“I went to Haldimand to request a copy of the application, which

is standard procedure,” says Hubert. “But they refused to provide it to me.

That is a public document that should have been made available upon request.”

He also says that there were many undisclosed mortgages on that land.

“To enter into any kind of agreement, you have to have the person who holds title to the land, which is the mortgagee. You have to disclose them, because they legally have to be party to any agreement thereafter,” says Hubert.

“I went to the registry office and looked it up and I thought, what are these assignment of rents? It says it is multi-residential development worth close to $30 million. There are a number of seller takeback clause mortgages on the project as well, where the person they buy the land from holds the mortgages for them. So they all have a say when you sign any kind of agreement.

But on the application, the problem was, none of

that was filled out,” he explains.

“I notified Haldimand back in May and asked them why there was no signature of the mortgagee. I also kept asking, what about the Native land claim? Has there been consultations with Six Nations for this development? I was told they were notified, but there was no consultation on the project itself.”

Haldimand mayor Ken Hewitt told TRT that a simple notification through the Grand River Notification Agreement, is all the municipality is required to do, stating that any negotiations or consultation have to be done by the Province or the Federal government, but not at the municipal level.

A letter addressed to Haldimand Council, signed by Six Nations Elected Council lawyer Lonny Bomberry on Band Council letterhead supports Hubert’s claim of lack of consultation, even alluding to possible legal action should the

project begin without proper consultation and accommodation with Six Nations.

Although Hubert’s appeal was registered in early September, after four months there has been no date set for that hearing. However, Haldimand County has recently filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Hubert’s appeal.

This motion was given a hearing date of January 15th, 2015 at 10:30 am, at the Haldimand Municipal Building.

There are many other legal issues which are listed in Hubert’s appeal which he says were ignored by Haldimand Council regarding the Empire McClung lands.

“The applications were never stamped “received” by the County, yet were processed anyhow,” says Hubert who has made Haldimand Council well aware of his concerns but to no avail.

Around $45 million has already been invested in the Empire Communities McClung Road development project to

date, $30 million of that through a large firm known as ROI Capital.

They hold several mortgages on the lands, and have assignments of rents registered with the mortgages. This implies that the rent will be collected as additional security if necessary. However, according to a Haldimand County planners report, the McClung project is “vacant greenfield land.”

“There are a lot of reasons why this appeal has to be thrown out by the OMB, both financial and professional,” says Hubert. “People involved in this back-door scheme include some people in very high places and it has been going on for a very long time.”

None of the allegations Hubert is making have been proven in court of law to date, but they are included in the appeal to the OMB which Haldimand Country is trying to have thrown out before the appeal is actually heard.

mining and oil exploration.

These companies are invading and then polluting their lands, with not even a notice of their intrusion and presence on the land, let alone consent for their destructive oil and mining activities. Companies have also half-completed exploration work and littered their lands with abandoned work camps, deserted construction materials and random barrels containing unknown substances.

“We’ve had enough,” says Montgrand. “The animals are disappearing.

Even the minnows are dying in the lakes. All of the chemicals they are dumping and burning in our local landfills are what they are leaving in the bush and running into the lakes. Even the people are dying of cancer and some are pretty young. We buried six in the last few

months when we used to see maybe one person die of cancer in a year.”

Trappers are concerned with companies like Cenovus from Calgary, Alberta, who are driving the people off of the land.

“It is taking food off of our table. When companies are done destroying our north there will be nothing for our children to live on,” says Bobby Montgrand.

The group invites supporters from all nations who would like to come experience the life of a trapper making a stand against big oil companies. For more information, check out their Facebook group titled “Holding the line – Northern Trappers.” You can also call 306-822-3181 to speak with spokesperson Don Montgrand or email susnaghe@sasktel.net.

Dene trappers holding the line in Saskatchewan

By Mari Reeve LALOCHE – On November 19th, 2014 a road block was established north of LaLoche, Saskatchewan by the Dene people of Ducharme. The people of this area have lived off the land for centuries, practicing trapping as a way of life.

After six years of mining and oil companies trying to intimidate and deny residents access to their own territory by erecting security gates blocking their traplines, the trappers have had enough and are making a stand.

Don Montgrand, who has been trapping his whole life, details the issues he faces: “When I drove up to my trapline, a helicopter followed overhead of me, all the way.

That’s 106 kilometres.”

The province has also set their forest fire policy to “let it burn,” which has

Op-Ed Band Council not the moral compass Op-Ed Community members will decide

By Thohahoken The summer march on the Six Nations Band Council in early 1988 was filled with Elders, war veterans, mothers and kids who were protesting the proposed regulation that would allow alcohol sales on-reserve.

The Band Council saw that there was stiff opposition and passed a Band Council Resolution prohibiting alcohol sales on-reserve. Six Nations would stay dry.

In 2014 the Band Council posed a referendum to have Six Nations band members vote to allow Band Council to regulate alcohol product sales on-reserve despite an undercurrent of disapproval by mothers and people working in the social services sector. An advanced poll is set for Saturday January 10, 2015 at Six Nations Polytechnic.

The argument by Band Council that alcohol sales already exist on the reserve reveals Band Council’s lim-

ited ability to enforce its own by-laws—Band Council hasn’t closed down the bootleggers despite having a Band Council Resolution on the books. Yet now, the Band Council wants to regulate legal sales just like any other municipality in Ontario.

Near Montreal, Kahnawake is a good example of local regulation. Currently, beer, wine and liquor sales are regulated on Kahnawake, but under provincial licensing. Kahnawake also has gambling parlors that operate under provincial licensing.

At Six Nations the regulation opens the door for private commercial developments such as resorts, on-reserve poker houses, and golf-courses or tourist sites that usually include bars.

A brewery might also be developed, in a highly mechanized industry with little impact on jobs, supplied by the highly mechanized agriculture sector with also little impact on

employment.

Does this mean that Band Council should make Six Nations a ‘wet’ community? Does this mean that prostitution should be regulated by the Band Council?

Does this mean that marijuana sales should be regulated by Band Council? This referendum accepts that Band Council is the moral compass at Six Nations.

Word on the street is ‘no’, don’t even ask.

Participation in the referendum on January 10, 2015 at Six Nations Polytechnic accepts the Band Council’s authority to govern over the moral and ethical affairs, and mission of the People of the Six Nations (Ohswekenron:nen).

A referendum is a way Power Elites confirm that they have consulted with populations, and then do what they want anyway.

The Band Council cannot be the moral compass at Six Nations. The mothers are the moral compass here.

Letters to the Editors

By SNEC In the interest of being transparent the Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) would like to address the upcoming Alcohol Referendum scheduled for January 17th, 2015.

A key priority for the current Six Nations Elected Council is to engage community members in open discussions and allow all of our citizens to voice their opinions and concerns on issues. At this point in time there are no Six Nations regulations that would either prohibit or permit the manufacture or consumption of alcohol.

Six Nations members currently utilize and operate under the provincial alcohol laws for their fundraising events on Six Nations. Therefore, in November 2014 the Six Nations Elected Council decided to hold a referendum on alcohol to determine if the commu-

nity wants to implement our own Six Nations Alcohol Regulations.

The purpose of having the upcoming Alcohol Referendum is to allow the community to decide whether or not Six Nations should develop an Alcohol Regulation or continue to operate under the provincial alcohol laws. The referendum will also allow community members to decide whether they would like a regulation that either restricts or allows certain activities related to Alcohol. This decision will be made by the community.

New information was recently discovered by the current Six Nations Elected Council regarding a motion that was passed twenty six years ago, on May 3, 1988. The motion states: Moved by Lewis Staats and seconded by Kenneth Hill, that this Council acknowledges the petition put forth on May

3, 1988, by the people of the Community, that liquor not be sold on the Six Nations of the Grand River Indian Reserve and that the Six Nations Council concur with the wishes of the Community that the question of the sale of liquor not be put forth again.

Despite this resolution being passed in 1988, there have been subsequent requests from community members and motions that contradict this resolution. Therefore, “The 56th Six Nations Elected Council has decided to continue with the Alcohol Referendum in order to allow the community a chance to provide direction on the alcohol issue,” said Chief Ava Hill. “The Alcohol Referendum scheduled for January 17th will take place as scheduled so that all community members may have an equal chance to decide Six Nations’ future.”

HCCC says no Dear editors, At a duly convened council on January 3, 2015, the Hodiyanehsoh carefully considered the proposed Alcohol Law and Brewery at Six Nations Grand River Territory.

After careful reflection and consideration of the damaging effects that alcohol has had on our

Cuba and the Onkwehon:we Dear editors, As we seen recently on television, the hostilities between the USA and Cuba have dramatically softened. Over 50 years of sanctions followed a hard fought revolution led by Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, and Che Guevara. They overthrew the colonial dictator Fulgencio Batista who was backed by the US empire. Castro landed in Cuba and took back the island for the people, village by village all the way to Havana. When the US backed the Bay of Pigs invasion, Castro personally manned armaments to fight US backed Cubans assisted by US weapons

and air support. The Cuban victory led to what the media considers the longest embargo in history.

So what does this have to do with me you might ask? As Onkwehon:we it has everything to do with us. The longest embargo in history isn’t against Cuba – the longest embargo is against the Iroquois Confederacy which is been here beyond all antiquity. Before the inception of the USA, we were just as sovereign as Cuba, and held all the characteristics of a nation under international law. But as colonialism intensified, the USA and Canada have blocked our trade with other nations.

After 50 years of blatant defiance of the US Empire, the colossal grip of this corporate monster let go of the revolutionaries it tried to strangle out of existence.

The Cuban people suffered through 50 years of deficiencies and every hardship imaginable. The blockade stopped medicines, auto parts, and all kinds of technology while the US tried to destabilize the country, assassinate their leaders, support armed insurrections, and encouraged treason at the highest level.

One day the settler colonies of Canada and the US will loosen their grip on the throat of the Onkwehon:we people all over the world. This is happening right before our eyes. The shift of the world opinion on indigenous issues is changing to a more positive attitude.

It’s definitely the right time to struggle. As we well know, with the destabilization of our mothers in residential school plus the continued destabilization of the missing and murdered women, it’s a war.

We are sending our children into a siege illequipped to deal with the evils of the world. Sending sheep to the slaughter instead of wolves to the hunt. We can’t forget who we are.

When they first met us, the Europeans compared our warriors to Spartans. In my humble opinion these wolves could have walked through those Spartans any day of the week because our warriors were taught at the knee of their

5

grandmas with love, not with conquering in mind.

The great peace is coming to fruition. It is up to the Haudeosaunee to nurse back to health the war-torn peoples that have lost their natural way many millennia ago to religion and warfare.

The fever that we call colonialism is breaking after burning hot for 500 years. It has made us sick to the point of death but our mother knows best and she is vibrating faster and faster. Her children hear her call. We must be vocal and teach our sick brothers the Creators’ message of peace.

In love respect and defiance, Mo Martin Rotiskennaketi

What if Six Nations never existed?

By Nahnda Garlow Although I am born and raised a Six Nations rez girl, my matrilineal ancestry is not Haudenosaune but British. My parents settled onto Six Nations to raise a family before any of the residency by-law stuff was in effect and thankfully that gave my siblings and I an opportunity to grow up as little bush kids.

Often times in my life I’d wonder what my life would have looked like if I didn’t grow up on Six. What kind of person would I be and what would life have been like if my father left the bush and settled into suburbia somewhere? To tell you the honest truth it actually scares me to think about that.

What if I never got to play back the bush and fall in the crick? I’d never know the humility of what it feels like to have soakers and cry my way back home. What if I never got to go to SS#8 school and learn all the jokes and nicknames? If I’d never met a “Studzy”, a “Pooksie” or a “Boogsie”... what kind of a person would I have become?

Growing up on the rez has made me rich.

Rich in culture, rich in personality, and rich in perspectives. Because I grew up on Six Nations and learned about my Haudenosaune culture I see that all the glorious things North America has to offer could never be enough to fill the rez shaped hole in my heart that was hewn by generations of genocide against my people.

I guess I’m being “thinky” again. I’ve been watching a lot of documentaries lately on British culture. As a woman of mixed heritage I have a fascination with what the culture of my matrilineal lineage was like. What kind of people were my mothers grandmothers?

What did they value?

On one particular night I was watching a documentary about the class divisions in Edwardian England. This is the era from 1901 up to the 1920s. One of the historians featured in the program mentioned how women in that culture had no status, no money of their own and owned nothing until they were married. When they did marry they inherited what belonged to their husbands and they could not leave it as an inheritance to their daughters but only to their male offspring.

How opposite is that to what our Haudenosaune grandmothers experienced! Long ago, when couples married the husband would come to live with the woman’s family in her longhouse. There is an old story that says when a Haudenosaune marriage was over, the wife would say nothing to her husband except to leave his moccasins outside the longhouse door: an emblem that he owned nothing and had to hit the road.

When I sit back and think about how little I know about my British ancestry I realize how incredibly lucky I am to have been able to grow up on Six Nations. I was blessed with having the full reservation experience of being a Haudenosaune person. It greatly saddens me that other Haudenosaune people of mixed heritage are denied that opportunity.

What if Six Nations never existed? Not that I am embracing the reservation system at all.

I reject our oppression.

But in the midst of it, and in spite of it, what if we never knew one another and after a few generations we slipped farther and farther apart and were only connected by documentaries on public television about the way things were? What if, slowly over time, we

degenerated into brown skinned Canadians and there was no Six Nations touchstone to keep us legit? What if we didn’t have one another? It’s something to think about.

Local Providers for Indigenous and Organic Foods

By TRT Staff So you’re ready to participate in the Healthy Roots Indigenous Wellness Challenge? That’s great! There are so many reasons to incorporate indigenous foods to your everyday diet. Whether you’re looking to improve your physical health or using this as an opportunity to assert food sovereignty, any reason to make food from nature the centre of your diet is a good one.

Sometimes accessing indigenous foods can be a challenge. Your first trip through the grocery store will reveal that wild game like duck and pheasant are not readily available in your grocer’s freezer. Here are a few local providers surrounding Six Nations who may have what you are looking for.

Six Nations has two

local producers of white corn, lyed corn and cornbread: Skye’s Corn and Hill’s Native Foods. Both farms sell their traditional Tuscarora Long Cob at local convenience stores.

Skye’s Corn can be reached at 905-765-5050 and Hill’s Native Foods can be reached at 519-445-2390.

The Hungry Farmer, located at 7793 Townline, is a new business offering wild game and organic goods on Six Nations.

Meats such as deer, pheasant, duck, rabbit, moose and organic pork and beef are all available there.

They can be reached at 519-900-4032.

Although beef is not on the indigenous foods list if you are interested in where to locally source grass-fed beef, chicken or eggs check out Stan Martin’s . His farm is at 1612 Fourth Line and can be

reached at 519-445-0942.

Stan also usually has fantastic compost for gardens available come planting season.

Norton Farms, located just at the edge of Six Nations, is another great local option for local grass-fed organic meat and organic produce. This farm, centered on the principles of permaculture, offers organic free range turkey, chicken, eggs, grass-fed beef and pork, as well as organic fruits and veggies throughout the year. Visit them at 2687 Countyline Rd. 74, just one concession south of the end of Chiefswood Road and at www.nortonfarms.com Looking for organic veggies, fruits and canned goods? Most large chain grocery stores have incorporated organic produce and groceries to their stock, but if you are look-

ing for something unique check out Sweetgreens on Main Street in Hagersville or Goodness Me on West Street in Brantford.

As a bonus, both locations have lunch counters with amazing options. Try the Buddha Burger’s at Sweetgreens with a raw veggie wrap with a side of vegetable soup! Great comfort food for the cold winter months. Both businesses are online. Visit Sweetgreens at www.sweetgreens.ca or Goodness Me at www.goodnessme.ca for more information.

Speaking of eating on-the-go, if you’re traveling down Highway 6 and participating in the Indigenous Wellness Challenge you might want to check out Whey Smooth Juice Bar on Argyle Street in Caledonia. They have a long list of all natural fruit and vegetable juices and combi-

nations that will give you the energy boost you need throughout your day.

On Six Nations there will soon be another great place for a healthy lunch option. The Sweet Spot is a juice bar and organic raw cafe that will be opening in the Iroquois Plaza this winter. Keep your eyes open for their Grand Opening.

Need some herbal supplements and teas to compliment your diet? You can always visit the folks at Ancestral Voices, also at Iroquois Plaza, for an extensive line of natural medicines and delicious teas.

If these places don’t match your price point or don’t have what you are looking for try checking out the local Farmer’s Markets. On Six Nations the Our Sustenance Farmer’s Market is open during the colder months at 2676

Fourth Line in the Greenhouses. You can find their dates at https://www. facebook.com/sixnations. farmersmarket with more details on the products available that week. Brantford Farmer’s Market and the Hamilton Farmer’s Market are also great options if you are willing to make the drive.

Remember sourcing indigenous foods from local providers and purchasing from First Nations owned companies is also a great way to empower the local economy.

For a listing of local providers visit our website www.tworowtimes.com/ healthyroots for details.

And if we’ve missed any providers, get in touch and let us know.

Healthy Roots Recipe - Zucchini, Sweet Potato and White Corn Fritters

By Kelly Gordon, RD

Ingredients: • 1 zucchini • 1 peeled sweet potato (raw) • ½ cup lyed corn • 2 eggs (duck or chicken, your preference) • 1 diced shallot • Pepper and fresh thyme to taste • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil • Optional: Tomato slices

With a box grater, grate zucchini and sweet potato into a medium-large bowl. Add in ½ cup of lyed white corn.

In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs. Add eggs to grated vegetables and corn. Dice one shallot and add to mixture. Add pepper and fresh thyme to taste. Use hands to carefully form patties. Heat a frying pan over low-medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil and cook for 7-10 minutes on each side.

Remember to turn patties over gently so they don’t fall apart. Serve on top of fresh tomato slices, with your favourite side dishes.

Makes 10 fritters.

WEEKLY CHALLENGE #2

Last week we challenged you to track your current eating habits for one week. Did you consume any white sugar, salt, white flour, dairy or lard? This week your challenge is to avoid these foods as much as possible. Replace them with healthy, nutritious choices from the traditional foods list. See our table below for some food substitutions you can make as you get used to a different way of eating. If you’ve created something from the traditional foods list that you just have to share – post a photo of your meal and let us know through your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter account by tagging your images with #healthyroots.

Eating this?

Try this instead:

White sugar

Sweeten with maple syrup and honey. Infuse water with berries, cucumber and/or mint.

Salt

White flour Dairy

Lard

Season with garlic, mint, chives and leeks.

Try quinoa or wild rice flour.

Make your own nut milk at home, or purchase organic almond milk from the grocery store.

Replace with walnut or sunflower oil.

1) Limit your screen time – too much exposure to short-wave, artificial light at the “blue end” of the spectrum will trick your pineal gland in your brain into thinking that you’ve got too many heavy metals in your blood, targeting essential elements like chromium (Cr), selenium (Se) and iron (Fe) for elimination through your bowel. This will destabilize blood sugar, impair immune function and leave you feeling tired during the day.

2) Act like a moth – by increasing your exposure to long-wave, natural “red end” fire, lantern and candle light which

ular sweats and intense exercise like hockey, cross-fit and box lacrosse will take the load off your liver by sending toxins out through your lungs and the pores in your skin. It will also clean out magnetically-sensitive and electron-stealing elements from your brain, sinuses and kidneys while temporarily acidifying your blood and increasing your core body temperature to kill off some of the bugs that are circulating at this times of year.

5) Hug a tree – then make cedar or pine tea as a vitamin C-packed substitute for imported, genetically-modified, unfairly-traded and pesticide-coated coffee, hot chocolate or green and black teas, which are also naturally high in fluoride and everyone gets too much of these days.

6) Take a hike – your lungs will appreciate the healthy aerosols in forest air and trees act like natural Farraday cages

to block high-frequency electromagnetic signals from cell phone towers that some people experience as a high-pitched ringing in the ears (“tinnitus”), headaches, insomnia or a trigger for hyperactivity.

7) Chill out – frozen water is one of the purest substances on Earth, so give your kidneys a treat by drinking melted lake ice or fresh snow every once in a while, but avoid using aluminum pots because of leaching. Reverse osmosis and steam distilled waters are also relatively pure, usually with less than 25 mg/L total dissolved solids (TDS).

If buying bottled water, look for a brand between 50 - 100 mg/L TDS with less than 0.3 mg/L of fluoride (F), especially if making up infant formula for baby girls who are the ultimate “water-keepers” and drink the most per kilogram body weight.

Go visiting, take a class, read a book, do a hand craft, listen to music or go to bed early but avoid looking at TV or light-emitting electronic devices 1-2 hours before bedtime.

3) Get outside – exposure to “full spectrum” outdoor light from the sun, particularly when reflected off the snow, will trigger the release of “feel good” hormones, get your blood circulating through your kidneys to keep stones from forming and increase oxygen uptake to help boost metabolism.

using chemical cleaning agents that contaminate indoor air and that are harmful to aquatic species because they don’t get removed at the waste water treatment plant and combine with pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals. Many environmentally-friendly chemical-free high-tech cleaning fibres are available through home-based business owners, or you can make your own natural cleaners with vinegar, baking soda and essential oils. Avoid all disinfectants with Triclosan and Triclocarban. The Environmental Working Group publishes a guide to healthy cleaning products at www.ewg.org/ guide/cleaners.

9) Get your greens – meaning those elements of the Periodic Table that give off green-coloured light like boron (B), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), copper (Cu) and phosphorus (P). Deficiency of these elements has

been linked with most chronic diseases and elemental silver (Ag) is a “green” anti-bacterial agent. Most people would benefit greatly from more magnesium in their diet because it is a co-factor in a multitude of important enzymes.

10) Check for radon gas – which is naturally occurring in soils with a high clay content (especially near major rivers) underlying the foundations of buildings, and that may get trapped inside when windows and doors are closed during winter. The risk of lung cancer is increased more than 3 times when combined with exposure to cigarette smoke and is particularly dangerous to “fire-keeping” baby boys who have a high respiration rate. Testing can be done in 3 months, generally for less than $75. ht t p://w w w. hc-sc . gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/radon_brochure/ index-eng.php

Corvairs still sharp in 2015

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – After a few days off over the holiday, the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs eased into the second half of the season with a 6-1 win over the division cellar dwellers, the Pelham Panthers, Saturday night at the Haldimand Centre Arena before a sparse crowd.

It was more like a dress rehearsal than a real game, but the points counted and the Corvairs were able to get a little rust off their skates before heading into Welland Sunday to face the second place Welland Canadians. There was no rust to be found.

Some Corvairs may have suffered arm cramps after unleashing 113 shots on goal in the two games, but aside from that, they made it look easy.

In Welland, they widened the gap between themselves and the Canadians to 18 points with a 4-1 win.

Most of the damage was done in the second

Corvairs' #98, Jacob Buch looks for a pass in front of Pelham Panthers defender Brayden Tworyczuck and very bust goaltender Tynan Lauziere, who faced 60 shots, while Caledonia netminder, Kevin Entmaa, was only called upon 13 times. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE period when the Corvairs scored three unanswered goals after Welland took a 1-0 first period lead.

Jordan Peacock, Connor Bramwell and Tyler Lepore all chipped in with Kyle Tanev putting the icing on the cake at 9:37 of the third.

Once again, the awe-

some firepower of the Caledonia squad coupled with their brick-wall defense turned what should have been a close game between the first and second place teams into a territorial blowout. The Corvairs recorded 53 shots on goal, including 21 in the second period alone, while holding

the Canadians to 18 shots.

Caledonia are first in shots on goal as well with an amazing 1,567 shots in 35 games.

Marc Sinclair registered the win for the Corvairs and a shell-shocked Chris Janzen took the loss.

Saturday in Caledonia, the mutilation of the Pel-

ham Panthers wasn’t fun to watch.

After a little shadow boxing, as it were, it was Pelham that who scored the first, and their last, goal of the game at 8:12 with Thomas Young scoring on one of only five Panther shots on Kevin Entmaa in the period.

Pelham goaltender Tynan Lauziere, on the other hand, faced 22 shots and allowed only two, those scored by Matthew Hore at 11:40 and Jordan Peacock at 16:40. Luke Sinclair, Todd Ratchford, Jake Brown and Justin Abraham drew assists.

The Corvairs continued to chew up the Pelham end of the ice in the second period with another 20 shots picking up two powerplay goals to go into the third period ahead 4-1. Entmaa had two shots to look after.

Peacock and Connor Patton added two more in the third for the 6-1 final.

Shots on goal were 60-13 in the easy win.

Upcoming games include a Friday night road trip to St. Catharines to open a home-and-home series against the Falcons.

The two teams are back at the Haldimand Centre Saturday night for the second leg.

Ohsweken Demons Announce 2015 Roster The Ohsweken Demons unveiled their roster for the 2015 season, which consists of twenty returning players from last year’s team.

Despite losing their top point producer in Chris Attwood, the Demons roster will see the return of Wayne VanEvery, Josh Johnson and Tom Montour, who were three of their top point producers from last season.

Goaltender Jake Henhawk will also be returning between the pipes and will look to carry the workload with Jake Lazore, and rookies Chase Martin and Brandon Styres battling for the back-up position.

The 2015 season will also see the return of Wenster Green, who spent 2014 with the

Barrie Blizzard but who won the 2013 Creator’s Cup with the Iroquois Ironmen. Jesse Johnson and Danny Vyse also return this season, having played for the Demons in 2013.

Some impressive new faces in camp include Ty Thompson from the University of Albany, who is fourth all-time with the Great Danes with 154 goals.

Coming over from the Can-Am league are Josh Becker (24G 20A) and Rudi George (21G 16A) from the Newtown Golden Eagles, along with Mo Bissel (31G 11A) with the Tuscarora Tomahawks.

Ohsweken Demons Head Coach Ron Henry said, “There were some tough decisions made after a very competitive

training camp. We’re pleased with the amount of talent and dedication on this team and we’re focused on bringing the Creator’s Cup back to Six Nations. We have players who have won at the NLL, MSL, Sr. B, Jr. A and Jr. B levels. It’s that culture of success that makes us all hungry for another championship.”

In alphabetical order, this is the 2015 Demons roster:

Ken Aaron, Craig Attwood, Kike Attwood, Josh Becker, Mo Bissel, Lloyd Chrysler, Brock Farmer, Rudi George, Wenster Green, Phil Henry, Blue Hill, Marty Hill, Stu Hill, Travis Hill, Kyle Jamieson, Dallas John, Jesse Johnson, Josh Johnson (property of New England Black Wolves NLL), Tim Johnson, Isaiah Kicknosway, Joe Maracle (property of Minnesota Swarm NLL), Ian Martin,

Tom Montour, Lee Nanticoke, Anthony Patterson, Elijah Printup, Rodd Squire, Ty Thompson, Torry VanEvery, Wayne VanEvery, Danny Vyse, Roger Vyse, and Zach Williams. Goaltenders include Jake Henhawk, Jake Lazor, Chase Martin and Brandon Styres.

Blast vanquish Vipers 16-1

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – After a while it wasn’t even fun dissecting the Norwood Vipers, 16-1, in the Brantford Blast’s first game of the new year this Saturday night at the Brantford Civic Centre.

Although the Blast are in fourth place in the five team league, they have played two games less than the third place Dundas Real McCoys, four games less than the second place Stoney Creek Generals, and two games less than the first place Whitby Dunlops in the ACH standings.

Perhaps it was too much turkey and New Year’s Eve parties, or maybe just a weak sister team, but the Vipers were out classed, out hustled, out shot (massively, 61-13) and outscored 16-1.

Brantford had the game in their pocket after the first period at 4-0, but they added seven more in the second and five in the third.

It is hard to fault Brantford’s goalie Brett Leggat for allowing the

Vipers onto the score sheet at all, having very little going on at his end of the rink all night.

Still, in the third period, Mark Prentice got one by him for their sole goal of the game.

Several Blast players added stats to their totals, including Joel Prpic (3G,5A), Jeff Caister (1G,5A), Derek Medeiros (1G,4A), Kevin Christmas (5A), Dustin Alcock (3G,1A), Chris Rebernic (2G,2A), Cam Sault (1G,2A)) and more.

The relentless Blast attack burned through both Vipers goalies, who faced more rubber than most goalies see in two games.

The Blast are poised to make a second half run to first place in the second half of the regular season and will try to keep the scoring machine operating when they begin a home-andhome series against the Stoney Creek Generals Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Civic Centre in Brantford, followed by a trip to Norwich Sunday for a 6:30 p.m. start.

• Pavement rehabilitation on Highway 24 for approximately 4.7 km and widening of the existing lanes to meet current MTO highway design standards; • Drainage improvements including ditching and rehabilitation/replacement of culverts; and • Minor driveway grade modifications to accommodate the pavement rehabilitation.

The anticipated construction staging and traffic management plan will include single-lane staging with flagging. A temporary short duration closure (approximately two days and two nights) of McLean School Road at Highway 24 is proposed to replace the side road culverts east and west of Highway 24.

The public is invited to attend a Public Information Centre (PIC) for the project. The PIC is planned as a drop-in style open house session that will provide attendees with the opportunity to review displays, discuss the project directly with members of the Project Team and provide comments.

The PIC originally scheduled for December 3, 2014 was postponed and will be held on: Date: Wednesday, January 21, 2015 Location: South Dumfries Community Centre 7 Gaukel Drive, St. George, ON N0E 1N0 Time: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

THE PROCESS The project is being carried out in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) as a Group ‘B’ undertaking. Upon completion of the study, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and made available for a 30-day public review period. Following the PIC, the project may be stepped down to a Group ‘C’ project if the environmental screening process indicates that there will be no significant environmental effects. If the project is stepped down a TESR will not be published, however a Notice of Step-Down will be issued and a 30-day public review period provided.

Anishinaabe storyteller releases new graphic novel

By GoodMinds.com The Adventures of Rabbit and Bear Paws: Council of the Animals is the sixth title in the award-winning series by Ojibwe storyteller and author Chad Solomon. This 32-page graphic novel is published under Chad’s publishing company, Little Spirit Bear Productions (LSBP).

LSBP is a Graphic Narrative company established in 2005 by the grandson of Art Solomon, the well-respected traditional healer and justice activist who taught Chad that “Laughter is the Greatest Medicine.”

The name Little Spirit Bear came from Chad’s grandfather’s totem, the Bear. The bear is known as the “Healer” within the Anishinabek community.

The “Little Spirit” part of the business name reflects the idea that all thoughts have a starting

point in Creation (the Universe) and have the potential to become tangible or physical.

Chad has worked professionally in comic book art since 2003. His commitment to the graphic narrative format makes the character-based storytelling from the Seven Grandfather Teachings a remarkable achievement.

Each of the Seven Grandfather teachings such as Courage, Respect, Honesty, Love, Humility, Truth and Wisdom are highlighted in the Adventures of Rabbit and Bear Paws series.

Two mischievous Ojibwe brothers, Rabbit and Bear Paws, live in an Ojibwe village with their older adoptive parents.

The boys are constantly playing tricks on their village neighbours, but in each story the boys learn valuable lessons based on Ojibwe Teachings.

In Council of Animals, the brothers learn

the meaning of Debwewin, or Truth, when their father is called to a secret council with the animals where the fate of all humans will be decided. The boys and their good friend Strawberry sneak into the council to make sure their father remains safe.

It is during the discussion amongst the animals that the three friends discover the true purpose of this secret council. Will the family’s pet dog Giibot be able to save the humans or will the fierce wolf prevail?

Reluctant readers in grades 4 to 6 will find this latest graphic novel engaging and hard to put down. Each story in this series is written by Chad Solomon and Chris Meyer.

Chad is responsible for the art, and with the assistance of educational consultant Tanya Leary, a Teacher Guide on CD is available with all titles in

Rendering Fat

By Joe Farrell In the absence of butter or cooking oil you can easily render fat from an animal to use for cooking.

Animal fats have a medium-high smoking point making them great for many cooking methods like frying or sautéing.

Wild game like duck and geese have an abundance of natural fats that, when rendered, make a delicious way to transfer heat to the food you are cooking. Also, when coupled with a cure in salt, the meat can be cooked then stored in earthenware in the ground for a long period of time before consuming.

All animal fats will taste different and vary within species based on the diet of the animal.

Pork fat (lard) or beef (tallow) will have mild-

er flavours than duck or goose, and when done strictly with the suet are great for making pastries.

How to Render Animal Fat Game birds have visceral fat in the cavity, separate it from the innards when gutting the bird. There is also subcutaneous fat found under the skin from all over the bird. Use as little or as much of the skin as you like. Save any trim from the gutting and butchering process for rendering.

For large game there are more types of fat to be aware of for rendering purposes. Caul fat is what you will find around the animals stomach. It is thin like a membrane and can also be used as casings for sausage or maintaining moisture when cooking lean pieces of meat. Suet is the

hard visceral fat located around the kidneys and loin which, when done alone, can also be used for candles or pastries.

There is also subcutaneous and intramuscular fat which can be found under the skin and attached to the muscle.

The process for rendering the fat is the same for all.

Cut your fat or duck/ goose skin in similarly sized pieces. You may find it easier to chill the fat first. This is not a mandatory step but can make the rendering process happen quicker.

Put the trimmed fat pieces in a pot with a generous amount of water.

Place heat to a simmer then reduce to low heat.

As the water evaporates the fat will melt.

If you put the neck or any piece of meat in

the pot it will tenderize as you are rendering the fat. The neck meat makes a great snack and can be used in a number of preparations.

Your fat is fully rendered when the impurities also known as cracklings have all floated to the top. At this time you should have a clear liquid on the bottom of the pot that looks like unfiltered oil. There should be no presence of water. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Keep the bits that floated to the top as the cracklings make tasty snacks and or garnishes, especially in the case of duck or goose skin.

Be careful when handling the rendered animal fat, as it will be hot.

Place in a jar and once the fat reaches room temperature, store it in a cool place like the fridge or even the freezer. If the rendered fat is to be kept in the fridge or freezer, I like to let it cool in a baking dish deep enough to hold the fat so I can cut the pieces up for ease of use.

The rendered fat you have created can be used

as a substitute for butter and other cooking oils in preparing vegetables, enriching cornmeal grits, and the like.

Next week, I will talk about cooking your meat in the rendered fat.

Your Voice Is Important Our Community, Our Future, Let’s Talk About It

Six Nations Alcohol Community Engagement - Week 8 Alcohol Decision-making: a two part process There are two separate, but related projects running side by side throughout this engagement; the Six Nations Alcohol regulation and the Brewery Proposal.

Six Nations Alcohol Regulation On January 17, 2015 Six Nations members will have the opportunity to attend a referendum to show the community stance on alcohol within the community. There will be three options to choose from at the referendum: I support a PERMISSIVE alcohol regulation for Six Nations. This means that the regulation will be drafted to permit the sale and/or manufacturing of alcohol under certain requirements. This would allow for community input to include things like the number of permits granted, sale times and locations and age restrictions.

I support a RESTRICTIVE alcohol regulation for Six Nations. This means that the regulation will be drafted to state that there will be NO sale or manufacture of alcohol within the community at all.

I DO NOT support an alcohol regulation for Six Nations. This means that the regulation will not move forward and alcohol within the community will remain status quo. Community members will still have the option of pursuing Provincial Liquor licenses for events in the community where alcohol is being served.

The decision will be based on the majority of participants. If there is support for an alcohol regulation at Six Nations, a community engagement process will be undertaken, following the referendum, to allow for further input from the community regarding the details of the regulations.

Brewery Proposal The decision regarding the Brewery Proposal will be gathered through collection of comment cards submitted indicating whether community members DO or DO NOT support the project. Comments can be submitted through www.snfuture.com or by dropping off written comments at Six Nations Tourism building or at the Six Nations Elected Council Administration building.
