Car jacking suspect still at large HAGERSVILLE – OPP are seeking the public’s help to identify and capture the suspect in a carjacking that took place in Hagersville on February 3. Police say the suspect car jacked a vehicle parked behind Libro Credit Union in Hagersville just after 1:30 p.m. on Saturday Feb 3. According to the OPP the female victim exited her vehicle that was parked behind the Libro Credit Union when she was approached by an unknown male suspect who brandished an edged weapon and demanded the vehicle keys. The suspect entered the vehicle and fled west bound on King Street East to Indian Line where he attended the Stop & Save Gas and
Variety on Indian Line. The suspect entered the kiosk, brandished a firearm and demanded cash from the clerk. The suspect fled the store in the same vehicle with a quantity of Canadian currency. While leaving the store lot, the vehicle struck a guard post by the fuel pumps. The vehicle was later recovered in Hagersville, but police say the suspect is still at large. He is described as a white male, approximately six-feettall, wearing a sage green hoodie style sweatshirt and a dark brown jacket. No one was injured in either incident. OPP is asking anyone who may have any information regarding these incidents to contact them.

First Elementary Snow Snake Tournament in three years By Chezney Martin
SIX NATIONS – Elementary Schools from Six Nations came together to participate in the day-long feat of playing snow snake on Tuesday, February 13, after the game was put on hold for three seasons. Dave Sowden, a Gr. 7 teacher from Oliver. M. Smith Elementary School (O.M.), explained that he took on the role of a coach to offer experience. “This is the first tournament we've had in three years,” said Sowden. “I've thrown before, but it's been a while,” he said. “I played with the Porters for a little while, like a few seasons. But it's winter-time so nobody ever wants to take the time because you gotta be outside in the cold, so I've looked after it at O.M..” Snow snake was also a part of Culture Day at O.M.,
and Sowden explained that the number of students that tried out reached over a hundred. “Our track was built two weeks ago so we practised this week and picked from 150 kids from our school to play,” he said. “We didn't want to say no to anybody and give everybody a chance.” “But it's good to have that many people trying it,” he said. The traditional game of snow snake or “throw” is played with spear-like “snakes” made from solid wood that can be up to six feet in length. The snakes are then thrown down a trough made from piled and packed snow in the shape of a ramp that serves as a track, with the aim of the game being to make the snake go the furthest CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

‘North of 60’ actress dies
Certain areas are hit harder with different variations of flu viruses.
Three youth die from flu virus TORONTO Three southern Ontario children have died after being infected with the flu virus. A ten year old Waterdown boy and two elementary school students from Guelph have died since Jan 31.
According to Public Health Ontario two strains of influenza A & B have combined in Southern Ontario’s flu season complicating this year’s outbreak. The province says although the flu is now widespread across the
province - official numbers are not as high as the pandemic sweeping the United States. And that most of the recorded deaths from this year’s flu viruses have been in those age 65 or older.

OPINION
Local reaction to the acquittal of Gerald Stanley
Outrage. There is no other word that can adequately describe the feeling across all of Canada this weekend at the acquittal of Gerald Stanley by an all white jury in the shooting death of Colten Boushie.
There is nothing that could have harmed the work of reconciliation in Canada between the systems that be and the indigenous people of this land – than this experience. And it wasn’t manufactured. It was
something that life played out and the fallout is absolutely nuclear. This week, we lend our editorial space to those reactions from our readers from Six Nations and surrounding areas
to share how this acquittal made them feel. May these words do something to edify all our readers to move in a better direction for the people of this area. #justiceforcolten

The fear we face everyday cannot be placated by niceties. I live everyday with the knowledge that my sons have to stay above the “norms” of society. If you’re brown there is no “boys will be boys” there is only the very real fact that if they step outta line – they lose their life. “They earned it”. If there is a breakin within 15 km of their location it’s free range on their heads. I suspect that I’m being harsh but so is a bullet to the back of the head. - Shillene Dale, Ohsweken
Seeing the racism is what got to my heart after the verdict. Canada’s court system made this decision and that has deepend our mistrust with authorities and the judicial system. There needs to be a change. This is a prime example how aboriginal people are treated. The people across Turtle Island have had enough. Not just our people but non indigenous people too. I witness and uproar on my social media news feed. One of heartache for Colten and another of shared feeds of comments filled with racism about the victory. Even a group that is supporting legal fees and openly sharing their hate for native people. We are tired of feeling like we are last. Like we are second. When one of our people hurts we all hurt. -Lela George, Oneida
Half of me is utterly ashamed while the other completely enraged. Humanity needs healing and this shit is not ok - Lisa Tobicoe, Ancaster
I’m really sad that I can’t honestly say, I’m not shocked, I’m appalled but not shocked. This wasn’t unexpected. We need to remember that a few decades ago this happened in our community. A student having car trouble knocked at a farmers door and was met with a bullet. This is our reality. The fact that anyone can say “he got what he deserved for attempted theft” shows us how valued our lives are in this “country.” -Cheyenne Williams, Ohsweken
#justiceforcolten
I've got a little story. I have a friend who one night noticed that his truck was getting broken into. As it happens he kept a baseball bat near his front door. He grabs it and runs out side to confront the guy. Well the would be thief has a friend on look out who smashed my friend in the back of the head with a rock. He goes down hard. The thieves pick up the baseball bat and beat the shit out of him. So he's in the hospital and the police say he can't press charges. They say because he had a bat handy it showed premeditation. Now, I'm not a lawyer but tell me, this guy leaves his house with a gun, how is that not premeditation. In my opinion, he should have been charged with first degree murder not second. -Jared Burrows, Boston
#justiceforcolten I am sitting in my apartment, in the 16eme arrondissement of Paris, France - half a world away from my home, half a world away from the outrage that my people are feeling. I see how insignificant we appear in the results of the Colton Boushie murder trial - acquittal; written like a red banner on the headlines of newspapers calling out, “KILL THESE RED INDIANS”. And yet, we wonder why the rest of the world doesn’t know we exist. -Lily-Anne Mt.Pleasant, Paris
#justiceforcolten With so much discrimination occurring against our people, it is often amazing how accepting we are of our situation. We know that without tolerance there can be no justice. Without understanding there can be no justice. Without equality there can be no justice. Which is why I often wonder what does justice even mean in this country when there is not one soul of diversity on a jury, when we are constantly fighting actions of white supremacy and when we have a system that is solely based on racism and discrimination? Another thing I don’t understand is why something bad always has to happen in order to get the attention needed. Although it came to an unfortunate, sad tragedy, Colten Boushie is a name in this era that will never be forgotten - as we now work towards reforming a justice system and fight in his honour.
#justiceforcolten Stanley killed Boushie. That is the truth. Cold-blooded? Two versions of the facts on both sides but Stanley was found not-guilty of murder. An accident? Stanley said his gun went off accidentally. Yet, that means Stanley is still guilty of involuntary manslaughter. He's supposed to be in control of his firearm--why is he pointing his firearm in the first place. The case should be appealed. -Thohahoken Michael Doxtater

column: Thunder Woman Speaks
The systemic injustice in Canada’s justice system By Rachel Snow
Gerald Stanley, a Saskatchewan farmer held that gun that killed Colten Boushie. This is a perspective on what happened the day Colten Boushie died. Colten was asleep or passed out in the front seat of a car. Colten’s friends, who were the other car occupants drove onto a farm, did whatever they did and then ran from the scene when shots were fired. Gerald Stanley got a gun and loaded “some” rounds into his pistol. Stanley said he fired off warning shots, but the people running believed shots flew close to them. The trial of Gerald Stanley then heard this fantastic story. Stanley walked to the car that had driven into another vehicle on the farm and placed his pistol in his right hand while he reached with his left hand, over the steering wheel, to turn off the ignition. The awkward situation and a pistol malfunction called “hangfire” resulted in the accidental death of the young man sleeping in the front seat. After this “accidental shooting” did Stanley fall down, or react with anxiety by calling for an
ambulance or have an admissible 911 frantic call admitted into evidence? No. After this “accidental shooting” Stanley, his wife and his son were able to gather themselves enough to return to their home, make coffee and wait for the arrival of police. Approximately two hours later, a point never made clear at trial; the police moseyed over to the Stanley farm and “secured” the area. The RCMP arrested the living car occupants on theft charges and released a controversial update to the media that several First Nations later spoke out against. The RCMP then stormed the home of Colten Boushie’s mother, Debbie Baptiste and in the ensuing raid informed Baptiste that her son Colten was dead. Baptiste and her family were upset at the raid, the police insensitivity and made a complaint about RCMP treatment. A quick internal inquiry within the RCMP quickly exonerated the RCMP of any wrongdoing in searching the home of the mother of a deceased young man. The family of Colten Boushie’s hired Chris
Murphy, a lawyer, who attempted to work with the Crown prosecutor charged with bringing Gerald Stanley to justice. Murphy stated that he was shocked when he learned that the police had failed to secure the vehicle. Blood spatter and other forensic analysis are scientific tools that assist the system in coming to an impartial decision. This was not possible in the Gerald Stanley trial because the police allowed rain and other elements to disturb the vehicle contents. There is a greater likelihood of doubt if the judge and jury lack scientific or forensic evidence. Did the judge chastise the police for their failure? No. Instead, the judge cautioned the family of Colten Boushie against wearing clothing that visibly stated: “Justice for Colten”. This judge, Martel Popescul, was also the RCMP lawyer in the Nerland shooting of Cree trapper Leo Lechance where Popescul fought against an inquiry of circumstances very similar to the Stanley shooting. This is the perspective that has not been written. Many comments have talked about the allega-
tions of theft and trespass. Social media has unleashed indigenous anger and racist comments including the statement of one Ben Kautz, a now ex-councillor, from Browning, Saskatchewan who stated on a Facebook for farmers page that: “Stanley’s only mistake was leaving three witnesses”. This is the Canada where Indigenous people are to blindly trust and seek reconciliation. This is the Canada where the legal system has the highest number of indigenous inmates in their prisons. This is the Canada where an indigenous mother, Cindy Gladue, died from blood loss and suffered the ultimate indignity when her vagina was put on display in an Alberta courtroom. Gladue’s accused was also found “not guilty”. This is the Canada where Adam Capay, an Ojibwe man was held in solitary confinement for four years. Is there such as thing as “justice” for indigenous people in this state? Writers discussing the Colten Boushie case will tell you that the system is broken, that jury selection needs tinkering, or that there has to be “justice for all Canadi-
ans”. This talk does not address the real issue. The real issue is that there is justice in Canada and it is white justice. There is a justice system that talks about equality for all but this can only be applied to white people. When an indigenous person goes into a Canadian courtroom, the judge will likely be white, the lawyers will be white, the court reporter will be white, the security or police guard will be white and if there is a jury, they will be white. People of color are aware of this because they are alert and guarded waiting to be treated differently, based on their colour and life experience. There is no deferential treatment when you are a person of colour. There is suspicion, barely concealed hostility and sometimes, outright hatred. How many Canadian parents must caution their children about being treated differently in schools, on teams, in playgrounds, at sporting facilities or in everyday life situations? The family of Colten Boushie patiently waited for the Canadian justice system to answer for the death of a beloved son, brother, nephew, and
friend. The family of Colten Boushie did so while snipers sat atop North Battleford buildings and court proceedings were heavily policed to protect the accused Why do the RCMP and policing services feel it is necessary to take up arms as though they are fighting some historic “Indian uprising”? Is this to give society, and this is specific to white society, some peace of mind? Colten Boushie was a member of the Red Pheasant First Nation. He was a young Nehiyew man who came to this place and time because his ancestors survived genocidal tactics like germ warfare, starvation and the apartheid pass system of reserves. The Nehiyew are renowned language speakers, spiritual or traditional people, song makers, hunters, craftspeople and leaders. It is this narrative that is missing from the discussions surrounding Boushie. This world will never know what gifts Boushie was given, but he will forever be remembered as an innocent young man who was killed for no more than being Indian. #JusticeForColtenBoushie

Is it a COLD or the FLU?
FEBRUARY 14TH, 2018
FLU WATCH Flu shot only 20% effective: experts
COLD FLU Fever Headache Body aches Weakeness Fatigue Congestion Sneezing Sore throat
Rare Rare Sometimes Sometimes Unusual Common Common Common
High, 39ºC - 40ºC, sudden onset, lasts 3-4 days Usual, can be severe Usual, often severe Usual, may last 2-3 weeks or more Usual, early onset Common Sometimes Common
Is it “STARVE A FEVER, FEED A COLD” or...? It’s actually maybe more about WHAT you’re eating. Yale researchers conducted a study on mice and metabolism during an illness. They found that when mice were infected with a bacterial infection - meals without carbohydrates (which convert to glucose in the body) caused the mice to survive but when the mice ate meals with sugar, they all died. On the other hand - mice infected with the influenza virus who followed the “starve a flu” advice were at a higher risk of death whereas consuming carbs (aka glucose) actually helped the mice to recover. Obviously, we’re not mice – the experiment is headed into human trials now - but the research suggests you might do better fighting off a serious bacterial infection by avoiding sugar while carbs could help you get over the flu. See a health care provider immediately if you develop any of these symptoms: shortness of breath, fast or trouble breathing, pain in your chest, blueish or grey skin colour, bloody or coloured mucous in your mouth or spit, sudden dizziness or confusion, severe or ongoing vomiting, a high fever (39°C and above) that lasts more than 3 days, or low blood pressure.
OHSWEKEN – Medical officials say the effectiveness of this season's flu shot has been extremely low, with the vaccine preventing only 10 to 20 per cent of infections caused by the dominant H3N2 strain affecting Canadians, researchers have found. ``That means people who were vaccinated should not consider themselves invincible for this season,'' said lead researcher Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an infectious diseases expert at the BC Centre for Disease Control.``The bottom line is the protection for the H3N2 virus is low this season.'' Currently Southern Ontario is getting hit by two strains of the influenza A & B – causing a greater number of people falling sick this season all at the same time. Three school aged children – a ten year old Waterdown boy and two elementary school students from Guelph have died since Jan 31 from this year’s outbreak. The province says although the flu is now widespread across the province official numbers are not as high as the pandemic sweeping the United States. Reports from Health Canada’s FluWatch says most of the recorded deaths from this year’s flu viruses have been in those age 65 or older.
So what can families do to help fight the flu when it does come? Keeping hydrated is one key action to take. The human body requires a minimum amount of water every day to flush toxins from the body. Running a fever can work to dehydrate the body. This is why doctors recommend taking additional electrolyte beverages for both adults and children when a cold or flu hits. Mucous that is created by a respiratory virus or infection can also be thinned out if you are properly hydrated. If your body is dehydrated that mucous can become thicker and harder to cough out of the way. Make sure you’re drinking good amounts of water, juices or other clear fluids like bone broth – and stay away from caffeine which can also dehydrate you. In terms of medicine you can also take over the counter flu medications to treat symptoms. Johanne McCarthy is a Naturopathic Doctor from the Onondaga Nation at Six Nations. She says there are several supplements that can help people through this year’s flu. “We will survive this outbreak if we do things like vitamin D (1000iu per day); vitamin A (10,000iu per day) and elderberry syrup (1tsp per day).” says McCarthy. All of these are
So far, this year’s flu reports by Health Canada hasn’t seen as severe a season as the Southern US is reporting. To date just over 29,000 cases of confirmed influenza have been reported with adults in the 65+ category accounting for nearly half of those cases (49%).
common items found in local drugstores. However, McCarthy warns women should not take Vitamin A while pregnant. Patients who are suffering from the flu and have a complex list of chronic conditions should check with a doctor or pharmacist before taking things in combination with their regular medications. McCarthy says consulting with a naturopathic doctor is an option for those who are looking for a more natural way to make it through this year’s flu season. “We are licenced and regulated in Ontario and know how to help collaborate with existing pharmaceutical regimes safely,” says McCarthy. When children are going through this year’s flu, McCarthy says it’s ok to trust that instinct pushing for full investigation by doctors. McCarthy says it’s appropriate for parents to be direct in their child’s medical care, even if that means insisting their children receive a chest xray to rule out bacterial pneumonia. She says some pediatric patients have been wrongly administered steroids in the past for a virual flu. This, she says, can make the situation worse and allow bacteria to take over as steroids can blunt the body’s natural immune response.

Protests erupt following acquittal
OTTAWA - Protestors gathered across the country amid a chorus of outrage the day after a white farmer was acquitted in the shooting death of a young Indigenous man in Saskatchewan. A jury in Battleford, Sask., found Gerald Stanley not guilty of second degree murder on Friday in the death of 22-year-old Colten Boushie, a resident of the Red Pheasant First Nation. Battleford was one of
many communities that planned gatherings to protest the ruling. Other protests and vigils were planned in Halifax, Toronto and on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The sound of people chanting a Cree honour song mixed with the noon bells of the Peace Tower on the Hill, and event organizer Lynne Courchene says that Stanley's acquittal symbolizes systemic racism in the justice system.
Courchene says she wasn't surprised by the decision, the makeup of the jury and the reported absence of anyone of Indigenous descent. Saskatchewan MP Georgina Jolibois said she was shocked by the court decision, which she described as disturbing. The ruling prompted First Nations leaders and federal politicians to call for widespread change in the justice system.

Reading Someone Elses Mail:
Canadian records expose racism By Jim Windle If anyone doesn’t believe that Canada would ever abuse the legal system to rip-off Onkwehonwe people and remove them from their land, this document should shut down that argument. As recorded in the Canadian Archives.
10: R.S. 1927, Chapter 98, s. 141: Every person who, without the consent of the Superintendent General General expressed in writing, receives, obtains, solicits or requests from any Indian any payment of contribution or promised of any payment of contribution for the purpose of raising a fund or providing money for the prosecution of any claim which the tribe or band of Indians to which such Indian belongs., or of which he is a member, has or is represented to have for the recovery of any claim or money for the
benefit of the said tribe or band, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction for each such offence to a penalty not exceeding two-hundred dollars and not less than fifty dollars or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding two months. Any lawyer that would take an Indian case also risked being disbarred. Since the 1924 takeover of the traditional Six Nations government, there was a flood of court cases filed involving land claims pouring into Indian Affairs. In an attempt to thwart Six Nations and other Native Nations from accessing the system, Prime Minister Willam Lyon McKenzie King installed a legal roadblock between First Nations, and justice. The Superintendent General now had control over hiring lawyers for the band and since most f these classes involved the government itself,
very few lawyers were ever hired and those who were were puppets of the Crown. This section also shows the government’s unrestrained attitude towards Indians. According to the definition concocted by the British Crown Indians in fact were not “people” according to the law. But, if there was an unintended result of the order, it was that since Indians were not “people” they were not subject to taxation. This law remained on the books until 195152 when it was quietly revoked. After being on the books for 24-years, this restriction became so commonplace that in effect, the former law was still discouraging Natives from seeking legal council until the late 1950s. During that time, a Native’s hands were bound and his voice silenced in regards to many land frauds and thefts of Indian land.

Community helps to send art and film student abroad By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN – The Sweet Spot, in support of local artists, opened it's doors to house a fundraiser for local art and film talent Jessie Anthony on Thursday, February 8. Anthony will be participating in the Creative Mind Group Film Internship Program in Berlin, Germany and both her family and friends invited the community to enjoy a catered dinner and some theatre in the space to help raise funds for her travel and tuition expenses. Owner of the Sweet Spot Denise McQueen was happy to share the space. “If the space is available and somebody asks me or approaches me, I usually say 'yeah,'” said
The Sweet Spot filled with supportive family and friends in the evening of Thursday, February 8 to help send art and film student Jessie Anthony to Berlin, Germany to attend the Creative Mind Group Film Internship Program. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN McQueen. “It's just to help support whatever is going on.” And the support was
noted. As progress continues to escalate in the film industry and more and more indigenous
Jessie Anthony was accepted into a film internship in Germany and the Six Nations community has gathered support for her to go.
artists come forth to share their stories with their own voices through the medium, Anthony's cousin Andrea Curley also recognized the need for support immediately. “I was very excited that she [Anthony] was chosen to do the internship,” said Curley. “She's in her fourth year of film in university and she was accepted. So she got the acceptance letter about two and a half weeks ago and she was really excited, but realized how much money she needed.” This prompted Curley to orchestrate the fundraising dinner and a silent online auction as she said understood the expenses of being a student. “When you're in school everything is expensive, I mean you're a student,” she said. “We're a family that get's it and we know how hard it can be money wise, and at the same time we know we're from a community that always helps when people are in need.” As the space filled with supportive family and friends that paid for their entrance, Curley
pointed out that the online auction items were also donated. “This is something that I knew that people in the community would have no problem donating things to and I just thought 'OK, I've seen online auctions before and let's see where we can go with that.' So we put items up and everything on there people donated, and it's been going really well,” she said. Along with the dinner however, Curley also orchestrated for youth that were a part of her group called Skywriters to perform acting skits in light of Anthony's craft. “[The Skywriters] wrote their own stuff and we'll be performing,” she said. “I've seen [Anthony] do three characters in one play by herself and it was believable, so I really believe in her talent.” As the entertainment skits received laughs and applause, the reality of the need for the event was brought forth as Anthony was due to call on Skype. The program fee itself is more than $1000 without the cost of flights,
and Anthony is due to check in on Wednesday, February 14. But the rewards are great as the short internship will count for an entire university credit for Anthony. The last estimate given for how much the fundraiser and the silent online auction earned was over $1600, and Anthony expressed her gratitude through the emotional Skype session from Vancouver, B.C., with those in attendance. “'I am a reflection of my community,'” wrote Anthony to Facebook on Monday. “I am extremely excited to be travelling to Germany today. My spirit is vibrating with the love and support from my friends, family, and community who have in such short noticed come together to ensure I made it to Berlin. Having a strong support system as an artist allows me to live my dreams, pursue my goals and continue my path as a filmmaker and storyteller! My heart is full of love and gratitude; I send you all my love many Nya:wenhah’s.”

Pro-Fit Corvairs 23, opposition 1, in weekend games By Jim Windle
CALEDONIA — The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs went on another goal scoring surge this past weekend recording an 11-0 thrashing of the Thorold Blackhawks, Thursday in Thorold followed by Saturday night’s 12-1 win over Welland at the Haldimand Centre in Caledonia. The Canadians scared up some confidence early in the first period with Noah Blakely’s 1-0 goal for the lead at 5:40, but beginning with Joshua DeFarias at 8:49, the Corvairs seemed to be the only team on the ice. Seventeen Corvairs earned points as Caledonia free skated to outshoot the Canadians 6425 for the 12-1 crushing of Welland. Jamie Lauzon fattened up his personal stats with three goals and an assist, while Cal Davis scored one and assisted on four, and Sean O’Brien
scored one and assisted on three in the blow-out. Brandon McCorrison stopped 24 of 25 shots he was called on to handle. The Thorold was on the menu Thursday night, at the Haldimand Centre as the Corvairs ate up the Blackhawks 11-0, outshooting the Blackhawks 45-15. Maybe the goal gushers that have been happening as the playoff draw near and without any real opposition has made the Corvairs even more aggressive offensively, out of boredom if nothing else. Owen Lane scored three goals and an assist while Jamey Lauzon netted a hat-trick while 14 others earned points along the way. Pierce Charleson earned the shut out, against just 15 shots for his fourth shutout of the season. “Both games were solid efforts,” said General Manager Nick Rizzetto.”I
knew when Welland showed up with a short bench we were going to be OK in that one.”
the period. Jake Smith looked a little like Brandon Montour for the Ducks when he slipped into the face-off circle unnoticed by Delhi defenders with his gun cocked and ready. Conner Smith noticed however and slid a perfect tape to tape pass right in Jake’s wheelhouse and with one motion, Six Nations held a 2-1 lead. Gardner also assisted. Right off the third period face-off, Porter quickly made it 3-1, unassisted. Alex Ash cut into the Six Nations lead with a Ruch down the wing, untouched, into the Six Nations zone, swooped across the crease and put it home for the 3-2
goal. Ryan Scott resorted the two goal edge with a backhander across the crease into the long side of the net, vacated by the Delhi goaltender who followed the pick carrier instead of the puck. With 5:45 left in the game, Delhi scored in close to make it a one goal game again. Gardner one-timed a wrist shot set up by Zach Martin and George Bomberry in response. The final blow came with 1:39 left when Ryan Scott bowled his way through the Delhi players, through centre ice, into the slot and finished it off with Six Nations sixth goal, with a high wrister over the glove.
Matt Watson, a defensive forward who played with the affiliate Hagersville Hawks last season, chalked up his seventh goal of the season against the the Thoronld Blackhawks. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE Tuesday night, Feb. 13th, Caledonia will be in Buffalo for another free skate against last place

Jr. B Brantford 99’ers struggle into playoffs By Jim Windle BRANTFORD — The Brantford 99’ers and the Kitchener Dutchmen couldn't get the job done Thursday night at the Gretzky Main rink and conceded a 3-3 tie game after two unfruitful OT periods. The battle began at 2:34 of the first period with Jeb Paulsen scoring for the Dutchmen followed by Sean Kawalec to give Kitchener a 2-0 lead. Christian Polillo and Hunter Dubecki made the Dutchies pay for two of four minor penalties they were assessed in the first 20 minutes to tie the game at 2-2. There was no scoring in the second but in the third, Sam Shaw gave Kitchener a 3-2 lead which Polillo answered two minutes later and it was a tie game again, at 4-4, where it remained for the rest of regulation
time. Goalies Matthew Chan for Kitchener and Mat Woroniuk for Brantford held solid the rest of the way and the game was declared a the after two OT periods. Friday, the Startford Warriors defeated the 99’ers 6-2 at the Allman Arena in the festival city. It took almost the entire first period before Brantford’s Christian Polillo scored twice in last two minutes of the period to try and build on. They could not find another goal as the Warriors added one in the second and one in the third for the 6-2 win. Brantford is back in action Thursday night at 7:30 the Gretzky Arena facing the Guelph Hurricanes who are three points behind the 99’ers. On Friday, they meet up with Stratford again in Stratford.

The weather played its hand in last weekend’s Arena Lacrosse League schedule. League Spokesmen Lance Winn announced the postponement of Saturday February 10th games due to the severe snowfall that has crippled travel along Southern Ontario. "As a league you try to play every game scheduled on their original game night as many factors come into play when you postpone and reschedule a game but we have players that travel hours to play for teams in the ALL and as a league we want to ensure their safety" Winn announced. "Even those with minimum travel are effected with this major snowstorm and we want to make sure that they
Bantams fall short against Simcoe 2-1 By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN — The Six Nations Bantam LL squad lost a one-goal heartbreaker Saturday afternoon at the GPA. It was a very close checking affair throughout with some excellent goaltending between but in the end it was 2-1 for the visiting Simcoe Warriors. Although Six Nations seemed to be getting all the chances early in the game, they could not cash in and it was Simcoe chalking up the first points of the game. Sandy Porter was put in all alone and hit the crossbar but close doesn’t count and the score remained 1-0, Simcoe. Donavan Monteforte was stopped on a clear cut breakaway early in the
second period, but only seconds later, he was sent in alone again by Myles Monture, but this time he made no mistake, tying the game at 1-1. Simcoe scored early in the third to take the hard earned lead which they rode to victory over Six Nations. Six Nations poured it on but could not solve Tyler Richards in the Simcoe net. But Simcoe was having no luck against Jacy Hill at the other end. With seconds left Six Nations had control in the Simcoe zone, Six Nations had a 2-0 breakaway but the play developed too slow and the buzzer sounded just before the puck went in. But close wins and close losses each teach more that a blow-out and

Anticipation builds for Karl The Razor Hess' debut
23
Snowsnake continued from page 4
By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS — March 17th isn’t coming fast enough for Six Nations professional Super Welterweight boxer, Karl “the Razor” Hess. Hess has been training and working out every day since turning pro earlier this year and signing with United Boxing Promotions as a professional. “The Razor” takes on Mario Bedolla of Mexico at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga in a preliminary bout before the main event, an IBA Intercontinental Championship fight featuring Josh “Dubs” O’Reilly, who has been fighting for over a decade, with a staggering 101 amateur fights under his belt. But he is relatively new to the professional scene with an impressive 10-0 record since turning pro and will be defending the IBA Inter-Continental Lightweight champion title. The Two Row Times will be in Hess’ corner for the fight and are inviting others to join us as we cheer on Razor in his professional debut. Tune in to Smoke Signals on Jukasa Radio 93.5 fm, Wednesday February 21st, 7pm for a chance to win free tickets. Karl Hess was given the name “the Razor” by his grandfather when he was very young and the moniker stuck. “I think I was about five,” he fondly recalls, “and I remember running up to his car at my parents house and hearing him say, ‘hey, there’s the Razor.’” In fact, Hess recalls his younger years with that same fondness. “I’ve always been active doing something,” says Hess of his early days. “I was always skateboarding or bike riding or something outdoors. In school was always athletic.” Hess grew up in Brantford when there was not many lacrosse programs at the time, not like on
To aid in providing the snakes a smooth ride down the track, a log is dragged down and up the ramp to create a packed surface. This provides the sliver-like crevice in the track for the snakes to travel, rather than simply being carved out by hand. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN
Six Nations Super Welterweight boxer Karl "the Razor" Hess will be at Pro-Fit Health Club on at 3771, 4th Line, at Six Nations for a meet and greet with his Six Nations and area fans beginning at 1 pm. He will be doing a light workout and signing autographs. Tickets will also be given away. Photo is with Hess and his coach from Black Eye Boxing Club, Jackie Armour. PHOTO BY PETER CHATTERTON Rez where most young people are almost expected to play lacrosse. Although he does not recall being bullied at school outside of the usual teasing and such, he has noticed a difference even in the few years since he he was a teen. “I think it might be a bit more mean spirited these days with the internet and social media and that,” he says. “People can hide behind their computer screens and think they can say anything they want.” Hess, an Onondaga of the Bear Clan, grew up in Brantford and went to elementary school at Bellview school, and middle-school at Joseph Brant School before high school at Pauline Johnson Collegiate. Hess says he really didn’t realize until very recently, how much of a role model he is becoming to Six Nations kids, and he takes that seriously. “A lot of kids are lost and need someone to look up to,” he says in his modest way. “Some of them might want to do the same thing I am doing.” He admits that when he takes the ring, even as an amateur, he has felt the pride of his Onondaga roots, and the loving memory of his grandfather.
“Using that name he gave me, is definitely an element and I hope to do good with it. March 3rd, Hess will be at Pro-Fit Health Club 3771, 4th Line, at Six Nations for a meet and greet with his Six Nations and area fans beginning at 1 pm. He will be doing a light workout and signing autographs. His Black-Eye Boxing Team of coaches will also be on hand, and there will also be a raffle for a pair of tickets to the March 17th fight. He says he got his work ethic from his father, Kevin Hess and mother Mindy. “He is a hard worker as far back as I can remember, and so is my mom,” says Hess. In the whirlwind of preparation and promotion for his upcoming fight is being taken in stride but he still focuses of improving some aspect of his game at the same time. “Right now I am feeling confident, but I’m sure I will be getting more nervous as the date approches.” According to Armour, tickets are going very fast with most of the floor seating already sold out and the stands seats are filling up quickly as well. Call Jackie Armour at 519-732-7267 for tickets.
on the track. For this tournament in particular, the youth used smaller three foot versions of the snow snakes nicknamed “mudcats.” Enduring the cold, maintaining form and dealing with possibly missing the track completely makes the game both one of patience and diligence and was traditionally only played by men. Serving as the convener for the tournament, Teacher Assistant from
looked as though it could be measured in metres, but Henry explained that the length of tracks can vary greatly. “It all depends on how far you want to go,” he said. “So when we go play, the track will be longer than three lacrosse fields and that's not a minimum. They can stretch out longer and longer, it just depends on how the snow is and how warm it is too.” When the tracks are made, the snow is piled so

Some of the cultural aspects that Henry could note were that the game was specifically played by men, and was used as a source of fun during the winter months. “This is a tradition, it's not a sport,” he said. “It was given to our people as a game to bring enjoyment and lift up peoples spirits.” “People wanted to have it for enjoyment and later down the road it became a feast and now people be-
Determination and practice is what makes or breaks a snow snake thrower, as many times a snake can be thrown into the track, off of the track or not on the track at all. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN Kawenni:io/Gaweniyo Elementary School Alex Henry explained that his experience with the game began when he was about three years-old. “I've played snow snake my whole life,” said Henry. “It takes a lot of practice but it's just like throwing a baseball.” Rather than playing this time, Henry served as a coordinator throughout the day and also helped in making the track. For the track, he said that it took two days to make because only three men including himself made the track. “If you have good help it'll take maybe a few hours, but if it's just one person or two it could take about two days,” he said.
