TRC calls for Vatican to rescind 15th century Papal Bulls of Discovery The Truth and Reconciliation Committee of Canada, which is currently examining the impact of residential schools, is considering asking the Vatican to repeal the 15th century Papal Bulls of Discovery, which considered indigenous people to be less than human. This comes at a time when more and more people are asking the Vatican to help renew relationships with indigenous peoples, reports a CBC article. The committee chair, Murray Sinclair, echoed these sentiments when he said that in order to really achieve reconciliation, a new relationship must be established between the native and non-native world. The papal bulls are at the centre of Canadian and North American sov-

ereignty, and if rescinded, there could be serious implications for Canadian sovereignty over land, said Sinclair. In 2009, a special UN rapporteur found that the documents were essentially the root of indigenous exploitation.

Women's memorial marches honour the lives of MMIW

Thousands across the country gathered to march and show their support for the more than 1,200 women who have gone missing or been murdered across Turtle Island this past Valentine’s Day. Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Saskatoon, Calgary, Winnipeg and Edmonton were among the Canadian cities that took part in the protest and memorial. A CTV article reported over 500 people attended the Toronto event, while hundreds gathered in downtown Vancouver,

the place where infamous serial killer Robert Pickton abducted his victims, many of whom were Onkwehon:we. According to the event’s Facebook page, this year marked the 25th anniversary of the memorial marches, which started in Vancouver in 1991 when a Coast Salish woman was murdered. This is the tenth year they’ve been held in Toronto. An RCMP report released last May stated that indigenous women make up 16 percent of female homicides and over 11 percent of missing women, despite accounting for only 4.3 percent of the population. The Conservative government still refuses to consider this a social phenomenon, instead focusing on funneling money into the indigenous criminal justice system.

Lac la Ronge receive compensation from SaskPower SASKATCHEWAN – After a two-year negotiation process, trappers from the Lac La Ronge Indian Band will receive $75,000 from SaskPower as compensation for the disruption the Crown Corporation caused the band’s trappers. Ten trappers successfully argued that SaskPower’s I1K and I2P transmission line, which runs through their traditional territory from Island Falls to Key Lake, negatively affected their livelihoods, reports a CBC article. This included having to rebuild and relocate their cabins away from the 300-kilometre transmission line and other difficulties with maintaining their traditional ways of hunting and trapping because of the crown

corporation’s activities. Unfortunately the $75,000 isn’t all the trappers were seeking, but Chief Tammy Cook-Searson said it was better than getting nothing at all to mitigate their ongoing losses.

Aboriginal girls given their own voice in "Silent No More"

WINNIPEG – In an empowering turn on the missing and murdered indigenous women narrative, the National Post partnered with Centennial College and Maples Collegiate to give 12 young native women the power to tell their own stories about their lives, fears and hopes. With cameras provided by Henry’s, the girls took photos of everything from the ongoing tribute to Tina Fontaine, to cheerleading uniforms, to candid pictures of them-

selves applying lipstick or walking home in the cold dark. While many of them have hope for bright futures, citing desires to be carpenters and teachers, they all voiced deep personal fears of becoming another statistic in what has been dubbed Canada’s most racist city. Tales of being solicited, shouted at or followed by strange men are frighteningly common. Still, the girls’ awareness of the situation and how they want to change it gives hope for the future. Their stories and photos can be viewed online at news.nationalpost. com/silent-no-more.

OMB gives thumbs up to Plank Road development By Jim Windle HALDIMAND – A recent ruling by the Ontario Municipal Board brought forward evidence that in fact, ‘silence is golden’, but it would seem the rule applies only to developers and municipalities seizing Onkwehon:we lands. Caledonia resident Ron Hubert recently appealed the construction of a huge new housing development set for Caledonia’s Northeast which would see 3,500 new homes, nearly doubling the size of Caledonia. In response, Haldimand and Empire Communities Ltd. appealed the appeal, seeking to have Hubert’s appeal thrown out. He was questioning protocol and established rules and bylaws, which he says the municipality and the developers ignored in giving the go ahead to the project. But he also included the challenge that Six Nations was never properly consulted before the project was approved. Hubert’s appeal was thrown out of court with the developers given not as much as a slap on the wrist for not following the rules. Hubert attempted to handle his own case but was clearly out lawyered and appeared unprepared for the hearing of Jan. 15th. All of his reasons for trying to force Haldimand to play by the rules failed. But when he asked if Six Nations was consulted about the development, the OMB’s reasons for judgment once again revealed how, in their world, silence means go ahead. The decision delivered by J. V. Zuidema representing the OMB, stated, “the application was circulated in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act. In this respect, both Band Councils of Six Nations and Mississaugas of the New Credit were includ-

ed in the circulation and provided with copies of all materials and further, were invited into the process.” At the hearing the OMB was told by Haldimand that they were in full compliance with the Grand River Notification Agreement signed by municipalities along the Grand River in the mid 1990’s. In that agreement,

notifying Six Nations of developments along the river was all that was required, leaving Six Nations with no avenue to object should it care to. This has been long superseded by the Supreme Court of Canada, which ruled several times since that notification does not equal consultation and/or accommodation. The OMB ruling goes

on to explain, “No response from either Six Nations Band Council nor Mississaugas of the New Credit Council were received prior to the [passage of project].” Hubert produced a letter written by Band Council lawyer Lonny Bomberry in which it was clearly stated that the lands in question were included as part of

a dispute the Six Nations currently has with both the federal and provincial governments. But the OMB, which pidgin holed Hubert’s appeal to issues unrelated to Six Nations, did not consider this. “Had Six Nations Band Council had any concerns with the Planning Act decisions of the County, it would have filed an appeal, but did not,” the

OMB ruled. As a non-Native concerned about his government doing wrong by the Native people of Six Nations in particular, it was also ruled that Hubert had no right to question if they were being consulted. With Hubert’s appeal dealt with, the development project is back on track.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE

PROPOSED LAKE ERIE CONNECTOR FROM NANTICOKE, ONTARIO TO ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA ITC Lake Erie Connector LLC (ITC Lake Erie) is proposing to construct and operate an international power line called the Lake Erie Connector Project (Lake Erie Connector or the Project). The proposed Lake Erie Connector is an approximately 120 km 1,000 megawatt (MW) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) bi-directional electric transmission interconnection to transfer electricity between Canada (Haldimand County, Ontario) and the United States (Erie County, Pennsylvania). This proposed Project will enhance grid reliability and stability, and will also enable the delivery of excess energy generated in Ontario to meet the growing demand for electricity in parts of the U.S.A. The proposed Project will use proven and existing HVDC technology. Two HVDC cables approximately six inches in diameter will connect a converter station in Haldimand County to another converter station in Pennsylvania, crossing beneath Lake Erie. The proposed Project will have minimal visual and environmental impact because the majority of the cable length will be located underground and underwater. The Process: As the proposed Project would form an international energy link between Canada and the United States through Lake Erie, the requirements outlined by the National Energy Board Act (September 2013) apply. ITC Lake Erie anticipates submitting an application to the National Energy Board (NEB) in support of the proposed Project in the Spring of 2015, in accordance with the requirements of the NEB Act and the Electricity Filing Manual (July 2013). As part of this process, ITC Lake Erie is conducting an Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment for the proposed Project that fulfills the NEB’s requirements including a description of the environmental and socioeconomic setting of the Project area, an assessment of the environmental and cumulative effects of the Project, and information regarding inspection, monitoring, and follow-up during construction and operation of the Project. The results of the assessment will be documented in the NEB application which will be available for public and agency review. Consultation and Public Open House: ITC Lake Erie is committed to conducting a comprehensive consultation program for the proposed Project. This Open House will present updated project information including: the preferred on-land and underwater cable routes, details regarding the Haldimand Converter Station site, results of technical studies and the environmental and socio-economic assessment as completed to-date, and next steps. This Open House provides the opportunity to meet the project team, learn more about the Project and to provide comments and ask questions of the project team. ITC Lake Erie welcomes and appreciates your input and invites you to attend our drop-in style public open house for the Project scheduled for: March 4th, 2015 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Nanticoke Community Hall 38 Rainham Road Nanticoke, Ontario Your input is important and the submission of comments or questions is encouraged at any time.

10th Annual Strawberry Ceremony in Toronto By Mari Reeve

TORONTO – February 14th, 2015 marked the tenth annual Strawberry Ceremony in which some 1500 people gathered in front of Toronto Police Headquarters, to honour and mourn the loss of their loved ones, murdered and missing indigenous women and girls. The ceremony lasted just over an hour, and was followed by a march in the bitterly cold downtown core of Toronto. Thousands of people huddled together while each person received one strawberry and a cup of water. The organizing group says: “We recognize that February is out of season for a ceremony involving strawberries, but the violence we are experiencing is also a disruption in our traditional ways of life.” Elder Wanda Whitebird has often led the ceremony and did so again this year, honouring the strawberry for carrying her seeds on the outside and water as the source of all life.

At this event, relatives of MMIW are given a platform to share their stories and speak about the women that they miss, love and grieve for. Beautiful songs, like Strong Woman and Missing You by Whitefish Jrs, were sung throughout the ceremony and during the march across College Street and up Yonge Street. During the march Drummers and Flag carriers led followed by some jingle dress dancers and masses of people displaying signs of women’s names and/or demands for a national inquiry and acknowledgment. The day ended at the YMCA for a community feast prepared by Na Me Res, Native Men’s Residence in Toronto. Relatives of MMIW have been gathering in Vancouver for the last 25 years. The original ceremony began with one family whose daughter was brutally murdered on Powell Street in Vancouver. All across Turtle Island vigils and marches

for these women have been held ever since, and increasingly so in the last decade. In Toronto, the early gatherings began with 50 or so people and the group/campaign motto, ‘No More Silence’. The phrase was born to signify that no longer would people involved stay silent about the alarming rate of MMIW, often downplayed by the mainstream media and government officials. Over the years, No More Silence has put forth huge community build-

ing efforts, along with Sisters in Spirit to create a database documenting violent deaths of Indigenous women and Two Spirited/Trans people. The annual ceremony, march and community feast afterwards have always been held on what is known as Valentine’s Day. Each year the event gains more endorsers, climbing to well over 150 now, from small community groups like No One is Illegal to major institutions like the University

of Toronto. Organizers now have the relief of receiving financial support to accommodate the large crowd, and worked hard to host wonderful fundraisers, benefit art shows and beautiful events over the years for this issue. Audrey Hunltey, a co-founder of No More silence, has been a backbone of this event, noting to CBC reporters that this issue is finally getting some media attention after over 25 years of community organizing.

would think that it would be that developers in Caledonia would realize that it is in their best interests to consult and come to some accommodation with Six Nations, and make an extra effort to keep lines of communication open. But that hasn’t happened, and it seems that both local politicians and

developers have learned little from recent history. Maybe everyone in the area is still shellshocked over the calamity created at the former Douglas Creek Estates Development in 2006, but the land earmarked for a huge development is well within the six miles of the Grand River and parts of it are directly in con-

flict with the Plank Road claim. We might have thought a lesson might have been learned through those hard times but apparently not. The government knows how to do this kind of stuff. They have a lot of experience in doing so. Deny, delay and distract attention, then go back in quietly

“We come together to hold ceremony and to provide a place for family members to find some support, and to grieve together and publicly mourn. We have to do that because unfortunately there has been a huge societal indifference to this issue. So family members who are devastated by the loss of their loved ones, have their grief compounded by the trouble they have in getting help or assistance. For example when they go to the police and they receive racist responses instead of support.” Huntley added “I think it’s important to look at government complicity in this. The RCMP say that most of the cases are solved, but that’s not true. We need to look at the legislation that is in part responsible for making indigenous women vulnerable, like the Indian act, and we need to look at the poverty that our communities face and address those issues immediately.”

Silence not golden after all

Silence may be golden, but apparently only for developers and municipalities. This became startlingly clear in the Ron Hubert versus Haldimand Council and the OMB. In that case, Hubert complained, among other things, that a very large housing development planned for the Northeast

of Caledonia was being pushed through without consultation with Six Nations. The land in question is part of the Plank Road land claim, which has been accepted by the federal government as non-frivolous and worthy of a second look. If nothing else came of Kanonhstaton, one

COLUMN: Luv, Respect & Defiance

Go see for yourself

By Bubsy Martin Imagine your little female cousin got arrested at a party for public intoxication. The cop that arrested her and threw her in the drunk tank where she is now laid out, goes and changes into his street clothes and signs her into his custody. He unlocks the holding cell, throws her over his shoulder, then carries her out to his car, takes her to his home and does who knows what to her. Then, fearing for their own jobs, two fellow police officers go to his house and ask him if he’s done. Maybe they never even went to stop him. Maybe they got cold feet. How would you feel? That really happened with an RCMP officer at the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation, near Thompson, Manitoba in 2011.

If that was my daughter, I would be riding around with a half bald scalp hanging from the rear view mirror of my rusted out rez bomb. So what stopped that officer from going and dumping her in a field or river? I’m sure this scenario has played out a lot over the last twenty years. I bet a lot of the aboriginal women found murdered in some snowy isolated place or rez in Canada or in a major city, seen government-issued steel toed boots walk away while they took their last gasp before moving on to the land of the creator. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. These police officers have the power over life and death. Sometimes they kill with impunity in major urban centres and reserves where the income tax bracket is so low that

you’re not even worth the bullet. Yes, it’s true and you know it, and I know it. When a young brown woman was raped and murdered by six thugs on a city bus, the government of some poor overpopulated country issued 250,000 paring knives to young women with the orders to use them with deadly force if ever accosted in the same situation. That’s the same advice I gave my own teenage daughter. I even told her to stab a pumpkin with the blade I gave her just to see, and told her to say no means no. I told her if she ever gets in a bad spot to use it as a last resort, and do her time chinup and mouth shut. Most of these situations and murders happen around some kind of substance. It’s hard and some red nations have

been crushed worse than others. The trauma is in different degrees amongst all red men and women on Turtle Island. We are all suffering to a degree. The way back home is the culture. Follow the roots to the tree of peace. The tree is your spirit, your heart, your feelings. When we quit feeling and caring, that’s called the place of big trouble. You have to care about something. Sometimes it’s easier not to care. That’s not going to help us one bit. That’s the purpose of rape – to sever your connection to your ohnikonra, the voice inside your heart. In some people it’s destroyed. They are hurt so much that they don’t care who they hurt or if they hurt themselves. In Mohawk culture we have a lot of interpretive meanings. Seven generations, follow the great

roots back to the source. We also have 13 levels/ dimensions. The two row wampum, skin seven spans thick of hardened rawhide. That’s thick skin. The old people told me always go see for yourself, don’t believe me, go see. So I went on a wild ride for a long time to do just that and what I found and what that meant to me might be different, but it’s all spiritual, truthful natural laws that are unchanging. The seven spans thickness of skin were things in my life. Bumps in the road, storms and valleys – and they’re not over. Things that touch your spirit and that rock you to your foundation. Seven spans could be birth, death, sickness and handicaps. That’s why we are to only say niaweh/thanks for life: because the pure

love of the creator is in every breath, leaf and molecule in the universe. There is no separation. Life is the creator, so to destroy living things is to remake them into dead things. To destroy life is to destroy the breath of life in all things. It is to destroy ourselves. The web of life is connected to humanity. If you look around – murdered aboriginal peoples, open pit mining and oil extraction – that is death/ ohtkoh. A newborn baby is orenda/love/life. The Creator’s voice is in us, telling us this is so wrong. Stand up protect our earth mother the way we would protect our birth mother. She is calling out to those with ears, but don’t believe me. I’ll tell you what a strong Mohawk women told me: go see for yourself. Arise.

gave them life. When you are gathered, with one mind offer thanks for all the plants and trees for following those instructions. When you are gathered with one mind, offer thanks to our Creator for always providing us with the things we need to be well. We have been blessed by the Creator with the animals who gave their lives for our people to survive. And for the birds of the sky – ever singing their songs to lift our spirits higher. Be thankful to the Winds, the Thunders, the Sun, the Moon and the Stars for keeping the world in its proper order and guiding our way. Always and continually offer thanks and acknowledgement to the Creator for giving us all things to live a good life on earth. Whenever you are gathered, bring your minds together as one – and always remember to celebrate the peace and love among us to show thanks.

Central to Haudenosaune tradition is the responsibility of giving thanks. Typically it is done through a prayer called the Thanksgiving address or Ganohonyo’k. These are also called, “the words before all else” because it is believed this prayer would set a persons mind back to the beginning, back to our responsibilities that the Creator laid out for us. Back to the natural state of goodness and the right order of things. Much has been lost in translation into English – and to print the traditional speech word for word in a newspaper would be stepping outside of traditional protocols. However for the benefit of bringing our Haudenosaune traditions into your personal development time this week here is a short prayer and poem in English inspired by that good feeling of thankfulness within the Ganohonyoh’k and in the

spirit of retuning to our responsibilities. Today we have been given the responsibility to live in balance and harmony with all that surrounds us and with each other. Be thankful to our Mother Earth for everything she provides for us. Always continue to care for her as the Creator has asked us to. Creator has provided us with water, and the water is life. Water sustains us. It quenches our thirst. It carries the fish and the fish nourish our bodies. Always be thankful for the water and acknowledge all its gifts. Creator has given us plants and trees for our medicine, our food and our shelter. All living things draw strength from the plants of the earth, just as they draw strength to grow from the earth itself. They have been instructed from the beginning to grow, each according to their season and follow their original instructions since He

Six Nations mother connecting with ancestral foods for a better future

minutes of daily activity and in doing so she is changing her life. We sat down to check in with Julee and get an update on how she is doing. So you’ve been participating in the Healthy Roots Indigenous Wellness Challenge for

Wow - you made the connection. I realized that eating this

way is making my body function better.

Being in pain and feeling lethargic all the time weighs heavy on your spirit. It must have been empowering to overcome that pain. I continued everyday from that day forward just feeling better. Feeling lighter and in my overall health feeling like everything was functioning properly. After the end of the first month I felt like my mind was even feeling clearer. There was less fog. I didn’t even realize that that was a thing until I started doing this diet and I was reading up on brain fog and realized that, ‘Wow. People get brain fog. And that is what had been happening to me.’

Awesome! So you got a handle on the foods list. How was the journey

adding 30 minutes a day of physical activity? Since I’d been spending so much energy putting good food into my mouth, it just made sense to get this good activity going through my body too. Being a part of the Healthy Roots Indigenous Wellness Challenge Group on Facebook and having the support of others who are participating is also helping. Having the Fitbit is helping me keep my steps up and keeping me accountable. Even being in the group and having people encourage you. Now everyday I am doing something physical. Before maybe I was doing that once a week but now I’m definitely more mindful of it. What has been your biggest victory so far? Staying away from the ‘five white gifts’ (sugar, wheat, salt, lard and dairy). It’s

been seven weeks and when I look back at how I’ve come this far I think to myself, ‘I can’t believe I haven’t had sugar! I can’t believe I haven’t had wheat!’ Before I would think I could not ever go without it. Now I’m standing here seven weeks later seeing these changes in my body and I’m going, ‘Wow! I’m really doing it!’ To me that is continually amazing. I never thought I could do anything like this but here I am doing it. Its such a rewarding thing thinking to realize that I don’t really need those things.

seven weeks now. How are you feeling so far? I’m feeling great! Before I began I was feeling horrible. I had aches and paints in my back and feet. My digestion wasn’t working right. But I noticed a difference just after two days into the diet. That sold me! That is when I realized, ‘Okay. This is what I’m supposed to be doing.’ It’s also giving me a sense of how our ancestors used to eat. How would they have eaten and been more physically active? It really got me thinking. One time my meat was on a ration and I was still hungry and I thought to myself, ‘Is this maybe what it would have felt like when back in the day there was only so much food to go around until they could go out and get more?’

leads back to the food that we eat. Today a sea of convenient resources from ‘fast food establishments’, prepackaged pre-prepared massively processed meals (thaw, zap and serve; or just add water) is preferred by the majority; and is relied on to serve our communities and children.

The goal of the ‘Making it Sacred Cookbook’ is to bring understanding and awareness to the connection and spirit of our food and to walk the talk, making nutrition a priority. Each component is to bring educational elements that are based on the seasons, nutritional information, and preparation advice with budget tips. Plus there is a section included on a formula to make a healthy eating organization, and how to make it work with tips and strategies. It is essential that organizations, frontline workers and decision makers in Aboriginal communities implement ideas and concepts from SOADI’s Walk the Talk Nutrition Policy as guidelines for nutritional excellence into healthy programming.

One of the results of colonization on indigenous people has been that many of our people have moved away from traditions, such as community building, giving thanks, acknowledgement and respect for what has been provided. It must be remembered that all food and water is alive, and all food and water is medicine that is gifted in the seasonal cycles. Nourishment includes all aspects of growing, gathering, preparing and handling of food and water. These important teachings are taught and passed on by true leadership; which can be defined as Peace (our inwardness), Power (our perception) and Righteousness (our Walk, what others see). This can also be further defined as, “Walking the Talk.” In our fast pace lifestyles and programming, traditional mindfulness and original teachings have been forgotten. At typical events, gatherings, socials and conferences, there is usually a spread of carbs and

This new dependency is explained away by some as “that is all they know”, or “I don’t have the time.” Unfortunately the result is the rise of diabetes and childhood obesity at epidemic level proportions. We need to stop poisoning our spirit with junk food. Awareness and consciousness of essential life-skills such as nutrition literacy, is what is missing in today’s ‘education systems,’ in many Aboriginal communities, organizations, programs and ultimately with decision makers. As a way to combat these problems, SOADI has produced a cookbook called “Food is our medicine: making it sacred.” One of the purposes of this cookbook is to address this issue and to show that nutrition and food preparation is not all that complicated and doesn’t have to be time consuming. The intention is for frontline workers and decision makers to serve ‘nutritional excellence’ that is full of spirit to communities through

Warm Thoughts By Joe Farrell Comfort food keeps the soul warm when the temperatures plummet well below zero. Deceivingly simple food made with love and care has a powerful effect on the psyche. To me, that food tastes even better when I have a connection to where the food came from. Unfortunately finding local vegetables from the fall harvest are difficult to come by this time of year. I often hear stories from older people who grew up on farms and they tell me about how their relationship to food has changed over the years. They tell me there was more exchange within the community for sustenance and less dependency on large scale

agriculture and grocery stores. More common were cold storages dug into the ground to keep the harvest for the winter months. The knowledge, need and passion for preserving food was common then and now seems to be held by fewer people. Thankfully, there is a newfound value and interest in exploring food preservation techniques, with folks like myself looking to revitalize those skills. As a person in search of a deeper understanding of food in community, I often find myself overwhelmed trying to fill my gaps in knowledge. To stay focused I remind myself that I’m not alone on this journey to reconnect with the land. I find comfort in knowing that there

is a community of people walking a similar path towards similar goals. This time next year I’d like to make this dish with ingredients I grew or sourced through community, perhaps substituting rendered animal fat for the sunflower oil.

night. Cook on stove with tomatoes and enough water to cover the beans by ¼ inch while they cook. In a separate pan cook onion in sunflower oil until soft. Add a few sprigs of fresh thyme and sliced apples and cook for a couple minutes more. Add to the baking dish. When beans are nearly tender add them to the baking dish and stir in maple syrup. Cover and bake at 300F until beans are tender, check at 1 hour. Add more water if the beans seem dry. Once tender and the moisture level is where you like it, add a splash of cider vinegar. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The recipe is writ-

ten in ratios, so that it may be easily replicated and scaled to a larger or smaller portion. For example, you can read the recipe as 3 cups beans to 1.5 cups canned tomatoes

to half an onion to one apple to half a cup maple syrup.

You always walk out with a smile at Winegard Ford CALEDONIA – The Two Row Times recently had a chance to visit the Winegard Ford dealership in Caledonia where we were greeted with smiles in a friendly atmosphere. We sat down with Jerry Winegard to learn more about his family’s history in the business and the products and services his business offers. The Winegard Ford dealership wasn’t always called by that name and it has changed quite a bit over the years, but the location hasn’t. The Winegard family has owned and operated the lot since September of 1946, though they first ran it under the name of Texaco, offering service and gas to locals and customers passing through Caledonia. In the mid 50s, the business began dealing the car known as the Studebaker, created and manufactured exclusively in Hamilton. In 1958, they became a Mercury dealership, and in 1966 they became a dual Ford-Mercury Franchise. In 1978 Lincoln was added as a product line available at the dealership. In 2006,

Mercury and Ford amalgamated, and ever since it has been the Winegard Ford Lincoln dealership. The original building was only one structure, but over the years, various additions have been made. Over the course of 69 years the dealership has completed 5 expansions by constructing 5 different buildings that are all connected, leading into one another through doors and walkways. There are 4 generations working in this family run business, with family members in the new and used sales department, finance office, and service desk. Jerry Winegard, co-owner and sales representative, has been in the business 40 years. We asked him what his favourite part of the job is, to which he replied “Seeing the look on people’s faces when you hand them the key to their newly acquired automobile. We want them to keep the delighted feeling. Once it’s theirs, you can see they feel really good.” Jerry went on to explain that he has seen a lot of changes and improve-

ments over his long career. “Safety features have really been perfected, with numerous air bags throughout vehicles, collision warnings, rear cameras, and the ability of high tech operating system to self-park.” Winegard Ford also has great perks in newer vehicles like heated seats and remote starters for the colder months of the year. Jerry also explained that he has seen an improvement in the quality of leather used, and other cars with carpet offer an environmentally friendly furnished option. “Cars that are manufactured with carpet material for seating are actually using recycled textiles. Textile manufacturers end up with extra pieces of material that can be used for car furnishing. Trying to be environmentally responsible, our car manufacturers use this material instead of letting it be wasted, so customers can feel good.” Jerry also explained that having a finance office in the dealership means customers don’t even have to go to the bank to finance their new vehicle. “We have

a one stop shop, so we can make their life as easy as possible.” Ron Winegard, co-owner and sales department rep, was proud to share that the company has won dozens of customer satisfaction awards. “We get a lot of compliments from people. Someone visited another franchise and came back to Winegard, saying how much they appreciate our customer service and family atmosphere.” Ron says, “At Winegard Motors our customers are a lot more than just another sale to us. We live by that attitude, remember that attitude and customers always know that their best interests are in the front of our minds.” Winegard’s service department is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm, and Saturday from 8am until 12noon. The sales department is available Monday to Thursday from 9am until 8pm, Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday from 9am until 4pm. Come in for a visit to the show room today!

At Winegard Motors our customers are a lot more than just another sale to us. We live by that attitude, remember that attitude and customers always know that their best interests are in the front of our minds.”

Teams representing Lloyd S King school, Standing Stone, Deleware, Walpole, and Antler River competed in Primary and Junior age categories.

New Credit hosts 17th invitational tournament By Jim Windle

OHSWEKEN – The Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation hosted its 17th Annual Invitational School Hockey Tournament at the Gaylord Powless Arena over this past weekend. Teams representing Lloyd S King school, Standing Stone, Deleware, Walpole, and Antler River competed in Primary and Junior age categories. In the end, it was Lloyd S King winning the Jr. Division over Antler River, while in the Primary division, Antler River outlasted Deleware. LSK began the tournament with a 7-3 win. In their

next appearance, LSK defeated Antler River 4-3. That win moved them on to face Delaware, whom they beat 4-1, putting the host New Credit team into the finals against Antler River. In the Primary Division, LSK started the tournament with a 6-1 win over Standing Stone. In their second game they lost a close 2-1 decision to Delaware. LSK bounced back with a 10-1 win over Walpole Island, but in Game #4 they were eliminated by Antler River by a 6-4 score, which moved Antler River into the next round where they faced Delaware and eventually won the division.

Primary Silver Antler River - Chippewas of the Thames were: Zack Deleary, Gavin McGHahey, Dylan B-Snake, N'gwiss Patterson, Tracelyn Deleary, Skylar Doxtator, Darren Elijah, Davis Elijah, Les Grosbeck, Raben Doxtator, Sorayah Doxtator and Rylin Elijah.

Corvairs miles ahead of the rest Brantford Blast make charge for first By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The only pressure the Caledonia Corvairs are feeling these days is to stay sharp for the upcoming playoffs. The Corvairs have long clinched first place in the entire league and hold a huge 21-point divisional edge over second place St. Catharines. A look at the stats shows a team that should consider a move to Jr. A. So far this season, they have scored 235 goals in 47 games played and have allowed a meagre 69 goals against. “Over the years we have had stronger stars, but as far as I am concerned this season is the most balanced team we have ever had,” says general manager Brian Rizzetto. Keeping a team this good from allowing themselves to relax, take it easy and develop bad habits is usually a problem, but that is part of be-

ing a focused, great team and Rizzetto is not concerned about that. “The only team we are worried about is our own,” says general manager Brian Rizzetto. “But we’ve got a lot of guys with a mission and with the parity between all four lines, ice-time becomes a motivator. You don’t perform well, we’ve always got someone ready and able to step in.” Monday afternoon, Family Day, in Caledonia the Pro-Fit Corvairs took another shot at the Thorold Blackhawks after crushing them 7-0, Friday night. This time it was even worse. The Corvairs coasted to a 9-1 win. Friday night, the

Thorold Blackhawks were pulverized at the Haldimand Centre in Caledonia. It was a methodical win which, once again, involved all four lines backed up by Kevin Entmaa in goal and a stone-wall defense. Saturday night, in Fort Erie, resulted in another lopsided affair in which the Corvairs dominated in all aspects of the game except goal scoring. They won it 3-0, but outshot the Meteors 42-14. Meteors’ Mackenzie Savard held his team in the game with great goaltending, but the Fort Erie offense could not get anything going. Marc Sinclair got the shut-out win, saving all 14 shots. The Pelham Panthers will be the appetizer when the playoffs begin, a team the Corvairs have outscored 58-6 in the regular season.

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – The Brantford Blast has been sneaking up on the first place Whitby Dunlops as the regular ACH Sr. AAA season draws to a close. They got a little unsolicited help from an unlikely source last Friday night as the Dundas Real McCoys, last year’s Allan Cup winners who are presently fighting for a playoff position, fell at the hands of the surging Blast 6-3 at the Brantford Civic Centre Friday night. This late in the season, every point matters. The Blast are setting their sights on another Allan Cup as Canada’s best Sr. Men’s Amateur hockey team, an honour they last won in 2008. This year, last year’s runners-up, the Clarenville Caribous from Newfoundland, will host the event. The Brantford offense was firing on all cylinders, outshooting the McCoys 45-25, though it took a period to really start their

engines. Dundas took a 2-0 first period lead, with goals scored by Jake Guindon and Chris McGuffin. McCoys’ Simon Mangos took a holding penalty at 5:13 of the second, which Derek Medeiros capitalized on to get the Blast going. Only five seconds later, Brad Jones evened the score at 2-2 before Mike Burgoyne gave Brantford the 3-2 lead to finish the second frame. Jamie Williams, Dustin Alcock and Andrew Marcoux secured the win in the third period. Saturday, in Norwood, the last place Vipers were flattened with a 6-4 loss to the Blast, being outshot 4622. Even with a skeleton crew of 13 skaters and two goalies, there was no doubt which 13 skaters were the best on the ice. Scoring for the winners were Chris Rebernik, Derek Medeiros, Mike Burgoyne, Kevin Christmas, Joel Prpic, with a goal and four assists, and Ryan McCarthy. The McCoys and Blast

shared a home-and-home series this week beginning Monday in Dundas, before returning to the Civic Centre Friday night for a rematch. Monday afternoon, the McCoys hosted their 403 rivals on Family Day but the Blast was not in much of a giving mood as they soundly defeated the McCoys 7-3 in front of Dundas fans at the J.L. Grightmire Memorial Arena. Scoring for Brantford were Chris Rebernik with two goals, Andrew Marcoux, Derek Medieros, Dustin Alcock, Connor Robinson, and Jamie Williams. Cam Sault earned two assists. The Blast will close out the regular season Sunday, Feb. 22nd at home to the Stoney Creek Generals in a matinee 2 p.m. game at the Brantford Civic Centre. With a streak of wins, the Blast could overtake first place Whitby and take the J. Ross Robertson Cup for their third straight season as the League’s top team.

Cyclops trump Demons in Paris By Jim Windle PARIS – The Southwest Cyclops are liking their new home at the Syl Apps Arena in Paris, Ontario this CLL season. The Cyclops slipped by the Ohsweken Demons at home Saturday night with Dylan Webster making the difference with 3:33 left in the fourth quarter. Then, on Monday afternoon in Niagara, they were doubled up, 12-6, by the last place Niagara Lock Monsters. It was last year’s Creators Cup Champion’s first win of 2015. Southwest is in first place after weekend games, although they have played two more games than second place Ohsweken, Durham Turfdogs and Barrie Blizzard, all with 2-2-0 records. The Demons had their chances in Paris Saturday, but could not hit the net as often as they would have liked. It seemed they were having some difficulty adjusting to Apps

-22 below can’t stop a snowsnake By Jim Windle EAGLES NEST – With temperatures a frigid -22c with wind-chill factors making it feel more like -36c, the annual snowsnake tournament at the Woodland Cultural Museum went off without a hitch as throwers and shiners participated in the ancient Haudenosaunee sport on the front lawn of the former Mohawk Institute residential school. The original date was set for two weeks earlier, just before southwestern Ontario was hit with major snowfalls, and was postponed due to lack of snow. The new dates were set for this past weekend

with well enough snow on the ground to build a good track. The track was very fast due to the dry cold weather and stayed well groomed throughout the two-day tournament. The Woodland Tournament usually attracts teams from throughout Ontario and the USA, but this year, due to the postponement, only Six Nations teams competed. The snowsnake tournament schedule is very tight as teams travel from one event to the next, similar

to the Powwow circuit in the summer. The postponement meant some teams could not reschedule their itineraries to accommodate. “There was a major tournament in the US and a lot of teams went there,” said thrower Danny Vyse. Even though there were fewer teams competing, those who braved the sub-zero temperatures had a great time again this year.

Danny Vyse was one of the intrepid snowsnakers who braved the coldest weekend on record for this part of the province to participate in the annual Woodland Cultural Museum's snowsnake tournament this past Saturday and Sunday. The cold weather was actually conducive to a great track and long distances by all throwers. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Others will appreciate your direct approach. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, say goodbye to a bad situation, as a better one is on the horizon. It is about time you make things work in your favor and enjoy some R&R.
