Pottery artist Steve “Standing Sky” Smith critically ill with West Nile virus; call for help goes out STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — The world acclaimed Six Nations’ Mohawk potter Steve Smith has been diagnosed with West Nile virus. Six Nations Elected Council confirmed one human case of West Nile virus. Since that announcement family members of Smith have confirmed he is the subject of that announcement. Family members told TRT Smith was increasingly ill with a fever and severe dizziness and was eventually transported to hospital where tests initially did not confirm he had West Nile. He was later admitted to Brantford General Hospital’s intensive care unit. Smith’s daughter Santee Smith, also an acclaimed Mohawk artist, spoke about her father’s illness on social media in a Facebook post saying “Nia:wen kowa for all of the amazing support and comments about my father…It’s heartwarming to hear how much he has
The pottery of Steve Smith can be seen and recognized throughout the world. But the acclaimed potter has been diagnosed with West Nile virus, making his diagnosis the only human case reported by the Six Nations Elected Council. Smith is currently in an intensive care unit at the Brantford General Hospital, and family members are seeking help in funding his rehabilitation and healing process. FILE PHOTO

immediate and long-term medical care, including a hospital bed, ramp to house, rehabilitation costs and physiotherapy. West Nile virus is spread to people and animals through the bite of infected mosquitoes. The mosquitoes get the virus by feeding on infected birds. The virus does not
spread from person to person. Confirmed human cases of West Nile virus are appearing in other patients in the local area as well. Last month the Brant County Health Unit confirmed one human case of West Nile. Late last week the Haldimand-Norfolk Health Unit confirmed six human cases of West Nile virus including one death. Health officials say the West Nile virus peaks in late summer and reported cases continue to surface into the fall. Mosquito pools have tested positive for the virus in Brant, Cayuga, Simcoe, Dunnville, Caledonia, Mississaugas of the New Credit and Six Nations. Only 1 in 150 people infected with the virus will exhibit symptoms and according to Health Canada 20% of those will become seriously ill. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. About 80% of patients who are infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms. Some people experience mild symptoms such as fe-
ver, headache, body aches, mild rash, and swollen glands. These symptoms usually appear within 2 to 15 days after infection. Adults 50 years or older and those with underlying medical conditions or weaker immune systems are at greater risk. Serious symptoms can include rapid onset of severe headache, high fever, stiff neck, nausea or vomiting, difficulty swallowing, drowsiness and confusion. People can also get serious symptoms such as loss of consciousness, lack of coordination, muscle weakness and paralysis. In general, recovery can take a week for mild cases. Some severe cases could experience a variety of health effects for many months to years after their initial illness. Some severe cases of the disease can be fatal.

Orange Shirt Day sweeps across the territory CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES
Six Nations supporters, families and descendants wore orange shirts in solidarity with many others across Turtle Island over this past weekend to bring awareness to the losses experienced by the children in residential schools in accordance to Orange Shirt Day. Orange Shirt Day is a day that has become a national effort for indigenous communities and is hoped to soon be placed as a national holiday. The day was originally inspired by the story of Phyllis Webstad, from

Dog Creek, B.C., who is a survivor of the residential school system. “I went to the Mission for one year. I had just turned 6 years old. We nev-er had very much money, and there was no
welfare, but somehow my granny managed to buy me a new outfit to go to the Mission School in. I remember going to Robinson’s store and picking out a shiny orange shirt. It had eyelets and
lace, and I felt so pretty in that shirt and excited to be going to school! Of course, when I got to the Mission, they stripped me, and took away my clothes, including the orange shirt. I never saw it again, except on other kids. I didn’t understand why they wouldn’t give it back to me, it was mine! Since then the colour orange has always re-minded me of that and how my feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing. I finally get it, that the feeling of worthlessness and insignificance, ingrained in me from my first day at the mission, affected the way I lived my life for many years...I want my orange shirt back!” wrote
Webstad in a statement on the Orange Shirt Day website. Symbolically, the orange shirt taken from Webstad in her youth is now used to represent the losses experienced by the thousands of children that were and continue to be impacted by the effects of residential schools. Wearing an orange shirt on September 30 is taken as an act of defiance against the things that undermine a child’s self-esteem, and al-so prompts the anti-bullying and anti-racism commitment made by the initiative. The day has gone from small gatherings in indigenous communities while wearing orange

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com
Don’t let Orange Shirts cover up the truth EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW Recently a Kahonwe that I know shared a story online. Said scone brought their child to school off the Rez and was talking to their child’s teacher about Orange Shirt Day recognizing the memory of residential school survivors. Parent told teacher, “yeah, my father went to residential school.” Teacher replied to the parent saying, “oh really, that’s so cool.” Said scone was then launched 1000 meters into the outer realms of the time-space continuum as she tried to logically grasp the cultural genocide and abuse of her father being called “so cool”. No. Not cool. Fact: nothing will change your life and perspective of Canada more than a survivor of the Residential School system sitting in front of you, covered in the snot and tears of their fifty year secret. This is a thing I’ve been pondering lately. Yes, taking the time to recognize the strength and resiliency of those who survived the residential school system is very important. But what we are doing to recognize those survivors is very important because the trauma is so real still so close to the surface of our families — that I’m not sure wearing orange shirts is the best campaign. This is totally just my personal opinion here. But given the conversation I mentioned earlier what are we bringing into awareness when it comes to orange shirts? What is the messaging? Are we disclosing the graphic details of the sexual molestation of thousands of children in the grade two class of our local elementary schools when they are wearing their orange shirts? Are we taking the time to explain what ‘cultural genocide’ actually means to a real family? And sidebar - are we then turning around on July 1st and wearing our red and white shirts to celebrate the na-
tion that legislated that cultural genocide into the Canadian fabric that then necessitated an orange shirt campaign to raise awareness of the genocide? Of course there are age appropriate means to bringing the truth into the light when it comes to Canada’s history of legislating indigenous children out of their families and into the brainwashing stations they called schools across the country for nearly 100 years. But the absolute worst thing we could do to the truth part of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s work is to trivialize those children’s stories by slapping an orange shirt all over the place and now a little nudge from Ottawa to embrace September 30 as our national indigneous holiday. Um, fellas. We already have a national indigenous holdiday and we called it Solidarity Day but you changed that too and turned it into “Aboriginal Day” and then changed it again to “Indigenous People’s Day” and now you’re gonna change it again to “Orange Shirt Day”. Is anyone else seeing a pattern here? We get moved all over the map, all over the calendar, all over the legislating table until we conveniently fit into Canada’s Indian Cupboard where they like us to stay. For perspective: we don’t have red shirt day on November 11. On Rememberance Day we recognize the loss of life and the fight against tyranny for our freedom with sombre events like trumpets and wreath laying. I can’t help but wonder if the orange shirt campaign is being so picked up by Canada’s systems to whitewash our pain. Lest we forget our fifty year secrets — and the reason we are here in the first place.
Op-Ed: Don’t believe everything CHEZNEY MARTIN

Ah, Winnipeg, the capital and largest city of Manitoba. Named after the Cree term for muddy water, Winnipeg thrives in an in-teresting province. A real headline by Maclean’s Magazine reads: “Welcome to Winnipeg: Where Canada’s racism problem is at its worst.” That is why it is important to note that the Frontier Centre for Public Policy which thrives in Winnipeg was founded there in 1997. Their About Us section reads: “Our research aims to analyze current af-fairs and public policies and develop effective and meaningful ideas for good governance and reform. We provide a platform for public debate and engage with the public through our numerous publications and events.” The centre is also quick to inform that they currently have offices in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and are selective about there they seek funding. In fact, they do not accept any govern-
mental funding whatsoever and work as a think tank. And what a think tank is, is a body of experts providing advice and ideas on specific political or economic problems and also serves as a research institute or centre and organization that performs research and advoca-cy concerning topics such as social policy, political strategy, economics, military, technology, and culture. This is all very nice. It would also be nice to know that their “experts” are indeed experts. However, upon reading the piece published in the Aboriginal Futures sec-tion on September 14, with a link leading to a piece written by Mark De-Wolf, it is difficult to believe that they are. The piece that preludes DeWolf’s, utilizes myth versus fact. The most striking example to me read: “Myth: the harm done to those at-tending has been passed down to today’s generation. Fact: the attend-ance of a grandparent has no effect on a child’s attitudes to school or academic success.” The piece is then ended
by explaining that public policy should be based upon fact not myth to solve today’s problems. It’s really the type of writing that can cause a ball of heat to fester in the stomach. Because these “facts” aren’t facts at all. In a report from March of this year it was found that nearly 75 per cent of First Nations adults reported being directly or inter-generationally affect-ed by residential schools. It was also pointed out by Jonathan Dewar, executive director of the First Nations Information Governance Centre, that DeWolf 'misquoted and misinterpreted' the research firm's data. He said DeWolf used a report from over a decade ago and was "ignor-ing" data from 2012 and 2018 that "substantiate the prevalent psycholog-ical, physical, social, and economic consequences that the Residential School System had on survivors, their families, and communities." The old adage of not believing everything you read rings true yet again.
Police crash cruiser during chase SIX NATIONS — Police were involved in a single motor vehicle accident on Oneida Road Saturday evening at River Range Road. According to Six Nations Police, a dark coloured truck was seen by officers speeding near
Sixth Line and Oneida Road on Saturday evening. Officers began to chase the truck and the Six Nations police cruiser, a Ford Taurus, slid into a hydro pole guide wire at the corner of Oneida Road and River Range Road.
Volume 6, Issue 8
Police lost sight of the fleeing truck. The cruiser sustained front end damage as a result and was towed from the scene. Two officers were checked by paramedics at the scene. No injuries were sustained as a result of the accident.

FACT OR FICTION: Did Joseph Brant sell out Six Nations? JIM WINDLE
jim@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS – It has been said by modernists and the uninformed of both the settler and Haudenosaunee of today that Joseph Brant sold out his people to Britain and was flattered into doing the will of the King of Britain and succumbing to another government other than his own. But objective history and contemporary communications between Brant and those he fought alongside and fought against seem to tell quite another story. Hand-written letters to and from Brant on a myriad of topics still exist and are crucial to understanding what the truth of the late 1700’s and early 1800’s was at this time in our joint history. The following is one such letter, written on May 10th, 1799, in the hand of Brant himself and addressed to Sir John Johnson. John Johnson was the oldest son of Sir William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs and took over the responsibilities of his much beloved and respected father upon his sudden death in 1791 while vacationing in his home village in the Swiss
Alps. When the American Revolution broke out in 1776, John Johnson's job was to ensure the Six Nations' loyalty to the Crown or to ensure their neutrality as a plan “B”. Brant knew he had the leverage over Britain by threatening to stay with the Americans following the war and negotiated what became known as the Haldimand Proclamation in 1784. Almost before the ink dried, Britain’s representatives began reneging and by 1799 — Brant was pretty incensed about how the initial intent of the Proclamation, which he and Haldimand drafted together, had been twisted after the sudden death of Haldimand. Frustrated that the Crown had not moved faster in codifying that agreement contained in the Haldimand Proclamation into law, Brant confided in Sir John, whom he felt was the only one that would listen. This is only one of several letters of complaint Brant sent, first asking, then demanding resolutions regarding the free ownership of the tract which he could relay to the people of Six Nations. Letter to Sir John Johnson. May 10, 1799. Sir:
I hope you will excuse troubling you concerning our affairs - I have lately had the honour of a conversation with Lieutenant General Hunter, which altho’ I comprehended it myself, as it was not sufficiently explicit enough for an answer to the people. I have writ (sic) to Captain Claus as he was present, to be of the particular purpose (or perception) of what was said, so as for me to acquaint the people who will meet for that purpose in a few days I understand however, so far from what he has said, that we are not to be permitted to have any white people settle within our limits or to do anything further with our lands than living on them; but the township that (my) people confirmed - I believe that is allowed of [unreadable]. I regret much to have to say that I find that I had a mistaken idea when I thought the acting up to the integrity of my ancestors in their adherence to the King’s cause would be my support and honour, I find that their preserving the fidelity, and also mine, is now forgotten as times have changed - notwithstanding the many assurances given us that we were linked together by a silver chain which should continually be bright-
ened with the implicit confidence we placed in our brothers, which our conduct fully proved - we find that we are suspected enemies rather than treated as our steady fidelity merits - letters are sent under ground to prevent the uniting and counselling of different nations of Indians together considering it as dangerous to the country - and for myself I am said to be very troublesome, thus I find that my ancestry and myself have been deceived, and that all our fidelity avails nothing. They however have had the good fortune not to live to see our present situation I have - Had I been overcome and taken prisoner by an enemy, I could but say it is the fortune of war. He has been fortunate and had overcome me - but when I find I am reduced by the deception of a friend, of a brother, whom I confided in what will not my mind suggest for me to say in my anger - I have repeatedly been very particular in explaining to you our grievance knowing that you are perfectly acquainted with our sufferings, and the many valuable friends I have lost in support of the King’s cause. - it is not in expectation of reward that we fought, but it was in consideration of the for-
mer alliance and friendship of our ancestors and the promises made on this head by the King’s representatives that encouraged us to sacrifice our lives and all that was dear to us in this cause. I will observe one instance as a proof of my moderation in demands. That is when I gave in an account of the losses of our people we got a list of the particular articles such as guns, traps, cows, hogs, to which occasioned the Minister to laugh as being of such small considerations. I never made any mention of the woodlands which remained unsold expecting to have this land in lieu of it - but I am much surprised to find circumstances so much changed as to cause so rich and powerful a nation to think of so serious import such a narrow tract of land as this is and make so much objections to grant us the free use of it. Dear Sir, I apply to you now as the King’s representative to us and hope you would endeavour to have some moderate plan fixed on - for it is very hard for us to live there on the present conditions and it would be yet harder for us to give up our right to this river. As for my own part I mean to withdraw myself from a public capacity -
and act only in the private (lane) I have ever endeavoured to conduct myself with the strictest integrity towards Government and the people I represented, and now if I had had any other designs I would have kept under the confidential letter I have discovered, but I suppose it has been caused by some ill-founded reports, it may yet be rectified on proper representation. I am surprised and cannot imagine why such trifling things should be made of such consequence and be looked on with a jealous eye, for when [unreadable] could be apprehended of dangerous consequences from us? Considering the smallness of our numbers and our situation. I wish you would be so good as to inform and advise me in some measure to [unreadable] the shame and sorrow I feel at having been so much disappointed and deceived in the confidence I had placed in our brothers. I have already fully acquainted Capt. Claus that in future no public messages are to be sent to me, as I mean to advise or interfere no more in these matters.
Captain Brant

We give thanks to all the waters of the world for quenching our thirst and providing us with strength. Water is life. We know its power in many forms - waterfalls and rain, mists and streams. rivers and oceans. With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to the spirit of Water. Now our minds are one.

Provincial report says child welfare puts indigenous children at risk TORONTO— Ontario's child welfare system is letting youth down by ignoring their cultural and emotional needs and failing to allow them a direct say in their own care This in a new report from the provinces’ chief coroner whose office launched an investigation after 12 youth in the care
of a children's aid society or Indigenous Child Wellbeing Society died over a three-and-a-halfyear stretch from 2014 to mid 2017. Two thirds of those children were Indigenous, most died by suicide, and all contended with mental health struggles while living away from home.
The report said there is a problem with the crisis-driven, patchwork system that risks leaving youth adrift and uncared for. Of the 12 cases examined by the report, eight were Indigenous youth who came from families that showed signs of
``inter-generational trauma.'' They also routinely dealt with the effects of poverty in their remote northern communities, including inadequate housing, contaminated drinking water, and lack of access to educational, health and recreational resources.

Hamilton judge amends class action claim against HDI NAHNDA GARLOW
nahnda@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
HAMILTON — The judge overseeing certifying a class action lawsuit against the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) has recognized at least four of the claims being made have merit. In a decision given on September 12 Justice R.A. Lococo said that four items; breach of trust, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation and oppression have tenability to be argued in the case. The claim was filed by Wilf Davey and Bill Monture against defendants Hazel Hill, Brian Doolittle, Aaron Detlor, HDI, 2438543 Ontario Inc., Ogwawista Dedwahsnye Inc. and Elvera Garlow. Davey and Hill allege in the claim that Detlor was retained by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC) to act as their lawyer and negotiate deals with land developers. They claim Detlor
then founded the Haudenosaunee Development Institute with board members Hill and Doolittle and that HCCC delegated HDI to responsibly “protect the rights and interests of the Chiefs Council and the Haudenosaunee People, and would not act in conflict with their interests.” According to the claim, Detlor, Hill and Doolittle created an Ontario corporation “to purchase Haudenosaunee land and divert funds properly belonging to the Chiefs Council and the Haudenosaunee people.” The claim also alleges “Elvera Garlow….created the defendant Ogwawista to divert funds properly belonging to the Chiefs Council and the Haudenosaunee people” and that "the Chiefs Council and the Haudenosaunee people suffered damages as a result of those actions.” The claim alleges Detlor, Hill and Doolittle “breached their fiduciary duty to act honestly, loyally and in good faith” for funds they managed under 2438543 Ontario
Inc.. HDI announced the numbered corporation a year after its creation to Six Nations in a July 2015 newsletter. In it they said that the provincial corporation or “NewCo” was created in 2014 to carry on activities which provide a benefit for the Haudenosaunee people, promote and protect language and ceremonies and to uphold the HCCC’s 8 points of jurisdiction. According to HDI, the Ontario corporation was to be considered a vehicle by which the HCCC could receive money they accepted for developments taking place across the 1701 treaty lands, also known as the Dish with One Spoon territory. In at least one of those contracts, the language
states the money the numbered company receives would be used for the benefit of the Haudenosaunee people. Additional claims in the lawsuit allege a breach of fiduciary duty by Elvera Garlow as director of HDI’s federal financial management corporation known as Ogwawista Dedwahsnye Inc.. HCCC’s lawyer Aaron Detlor is also being sued for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. Lococo writes the plaintiffs claim Detlor was retained by the HCCC to act as their lawyer with respect to development projects on Haudenosaunee land and that Detlor had a responsibility to act in good faith. The plaintiffs say they suffered damages as a result
of Detlor breeching that contract. Additional claims against the HDI and its officials allege the numbered company, Ogwawista and the individual directors engaged in fraudulent misrepresentation of the Haudenosaunee people and have added an additional claim of Oppression. The relief from oppression claim is specifically against 2438543 Ontario Inc. under the Ontario Business Corporations Act — which protects an entities shareholders against prejudice and prevents corporations from disregarding their interests. The plaintiffs say all of the Haudenosaunee people are shareholders according to the corporations construction, and
that they relied on the defendants to “protect the rights of the class but instead, the defendants misappropriated the funds.” HDI’s lawyers sought to have all of the mentioned claims tossed but were unsuccessful. Lococo disagreed writing in his judgement that he does not agree “that it is plain and obvious that the plaintiffs’ claim has no reasonable chance for success”. None of the claims have been proven in court, however it is now seeking certification as a class action. In his decision from September 12 Justice Lococo writes that the plaintiffs are seeking $50 million in damages for the proposed class members, referred to in the claim as “the Haudenosaunee People”. Lawyers for the plaintiffs are seeking to be awarded costs as a result of the judge’s decision. Those are expected to be reviewed on October 3.

Four facing drug trafficking charges in local bust STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Six Nations Police arrested four individuals after a Fourth Line home was searched on a drug warrant. Police say on Monday evening the home at 2882 Fourth Line Road was searched. Three adults and a child were in the
home. An adult female and four other children were located outside of the house. The adults were arrested and the children put into the care of the Six Nations Child Protection Services. Police seized cannabis, cocaine, an undisclosed amount of cash and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking. Four are now facing possession and trafficking charges: Mary Louella
Longboat, 61; Vernon Scott Hill, 64; Joseph William Powless, 44 and Chelsee Jade Hess, 22. Police say Longboat was held for a bail hearing on October 2. Hill, Powless and Hess were released on a promise to appear in court on November 29. Police say an investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Six Nations Police or Crimestoppers.
servative Leader Andrew Scheer and Tori Stafford's father expressed outrage over a Correctional Service Canada decision to move Terri-Lynne McClintic to a facility focused on healing for incarcerated Aboriginal women. McClintic was sentenced to life in prison for her part in the first degree murder of the eight year old girl. McClintic kidnapped Staf-
ford and then brought her to her boyfriend Micheal Rafferty who repeatedly raped and then killed the child. Conservatives and the child’s family pressed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to reverse the decision, saying McClintic was guilty of ``horrific crimes.'' Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale had asked for a review of the case.
Regulatory decisions were announced Wednesday and Conservatives say they are loosening the rules of the previous Liberal government. Retail stores will not be capped when the private cannabis retail market opens in October. Munici-
palities have until January to opt out of hosting the stores. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario will regulate the market giving it the power to grant and revoke licenses as well as enforce provincial rules on cannabis sales.

Family of man who died during 34 hour ER wait say racism still an issue CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
WINNIPEG — Robert Sinclair feels the weight of his family’s history when he has no choice but to go to an emergency room in Winnipeg. He feels anxious, uncertain and sometimes angry. A few years ago, he had a serious accident with a chainsaw in the woods and was taken to Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre. He figures his name must known at the hospital because the care came immediately. “I hit that little button, it’s like they were standing at the door or something,” he said. “They probably didn’t want another Sinclair dying in their hospital.” It was a Friday afternoon 10 years ago when
Robert’s cousin, Brian Sinclair visited the same emergency room. The 45-year-old had been in a wheelchair since he lost his legs to frostbite in 2007. After a visit to his community clinic that Friday, he was given a letter from his doctor and told to go to the Health Science Centre’s emergency room to have his blocked catheter changed. He checked in at the triage desk and wheeled himself over to a spot near security in the waiting room. Over the next 34 hours, Brian Sinclair sat in his wheelchair, occasionally vomiting on himself and eventually succumbing to sepsis. Later, it emerged staff assumed the man was homeless, intoxicated or had already been seen and was waiting for a ride. By the time his body was
discovered, rigor mortis had already set in. “It’s terrible to remember that he actually died that way,” Robert Sinclair said. “I’d like to think that he passed away teaching us all something, teaching us that as human beings we have become so insensitive to each other.” An inquest into Brian Sinclair’s death, which began in 2013, concluded it was preventable and made 63 recommendations, largely about structures, procedures and hospital policy. His family, and others, say it didn’t address the real issue _ racism in the health-care system. Robert Sinclair said Indigenous people regularly contact him to ask for advice or share their stories about facing racism in hospitals. “The racism, the stereotyping, none of that has
been addressed,” he said. Mary Jane Logan McCallum, a member of the Brian Sinclair Working Group and a history professor at the University of Winnipeg, said Indigenous people still face prejudice in the health-care system 10 years later. “There are a number of people who have similar stories _ what people have been calling ‘Brian Sinclair stories’ _ where they have individuals in their family or their community who also experienced inadequate care,” said McCallum, a member of the Munsee Delaware Nation in Ontario. In her new book, co-written with University of Manitoba history professor Adele Perry, called ‘Structures of Indifference: An Indigenous Life and Death in a Canadian City,’ McCallum said Brian Sinclair’s story shows how

deep-seated racism in the community seeps into hospitals. “If you talk to Indigenous people and you say, ‘are you concerned about going to the hospital?’ chances are they are still going to say, ‘yes,”’ she said. “There may have been some changes going on, but this is in no way an issue that has gone away and I don’t think we can expect it to go away any time soon.” The health authority made changes to the layout of their emergency room, their triage procedure and other policies after Brian Sinclair’s death. Lori Lamont, the authority’s chief operating officer, said cultural training is now mandatory for staff and there is an increased focus on Indigenous health services. “We failed him when he came to us for care. I think
that we have learned a lot as a system as a consequence of that,” she said. “We can’t let our guard down. We need to continue to work on that.” Robert Sinclair plans to grab a coffee with Brian Sinclair’s brothers on Friday, the anniversary of his death. They won’t visit the place where he took his last breath, the downtown emergency room. “It probably wouldn’t bother me if I never went there again,” he said. “We just want Brian to be remembered as somebody who _ even though the way he passed away _ he’s going to leave something behind and that’s hopefully a better health-care system where they are going to be more attentive to people regardless of race.”

Ontario coroner's report highlights need for changes to child welfare CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ontario's child welfare system is letting youth down by ignoring their cultural and emotional needs and failing to allow them a direct say in their own care, the province's chief coroner said Tuesday. Dr. Dirk Huyer said the need for change is starkly spelled out in a report commissioned by his office after 12 youth in the care of a children's aid society or Indigenous Child Wellbeing Society died over a three-and-a-half-year stretch from 2014 to mid 2017. Two thirds of those children were Indigenous, most died by suicide, and all contended with mental health struggles while living away from home. Huyer said the report, prepared by a panel of experts, shed light on a crisis-driven, patchwork system that risks leaving youth adrift and uncared for.Ě&#x20AC; `There isn't a system that provides integrated, effective care for these high-risk youth,'' he said in an interview. ``There's lots of good people trying to do things, but the system itself ... doesn't allow conversation between different parts of the system to allow (children) to get better or to be treated.'' Of the 12 cases examined by the report, eight were Indigenous youth who came from families that showed signs of ``inter-generational trauma.'' They also routinely dealt with the effects of poverty in their remote northern communities, including inadequate housing, contaminated drinking water, and lack of access to educational, health and recreational resources, the report said. Once the child welfare system became involved, the report found many of the children bounced between numerous residential placements ranging from formal care arrangements with more distant relatives to group homes hundreds of kilometres away from family. The report found the 12 children lived in an average of 12 placements each. One one young girl stayed in 20
different placements over 18 months, the report said. All the children had a history of harming themselves, but most received little to no treatment for underlying mental health issues, it said. Eight killed themselves, two deaths were ruled accidental, one was undetermined, and the death of one 14-year-old girl was ultimately deemed a homicide, the report said. That girl's case history suggests she and two staff members at the home she was living in locked themselves in a room to avoid another young resident. The girl and one of the staff members reportedly died when a fire broke out on a floor below them. The report found that the child welfare system assigned placements with little regard to a child's longer-term needs, such as emotional supports or cultural connections. ``None of these young people were safe, in their homes of origin or in most of, and in particular their final, placements,'' the report said. ``Child protection agencies seemed to be overwhelmingly concerned with immediate risk and more often than not failed to address longer term risks, which the panel often felt were both predictable and preventable.'' The report highlighted the fact that children were given no say in developing their care plans, adding that the results were programs that made no mention of identity issues central to the people they were supposed to benefit. There were ``minimal efforts made toward inclusivity'' for the Indigenous, black, and LGBTQ children at the heart of the report, the panel said, adding that efforts to speak up on their own care plans were often dismissed as ``attention-seeking.'' The report also found frequent communication gaps between child welfare agencies, no consistent means of tracking a child's placements, no standard definitions for the various types of care homes available and the services they provide, and little oversight from Ontario's Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. Huyer said Indigenous
communities face additional barriers, such as provincial legislation that's ill-suited to the realities in remote parts of the province and challenges associated with deploying scant resources over a vast geographical area. The provincial government was the focus of the report's five recommendations, which include calls to create a ``holistic'' and ``integrated'' set of
core services available to all children. Mental and physical health services, as well as education and child care, should be among those core services, the report said. Other recommendations included calls to improve the number and quality of placements for people in care, ensuring highrisk youth have a slate of services available to them until the age of 21,
and providing equitable, culturally and spiritually safe services to Indigenous communities. Children, Community and Social Services Minister Lisa MacLeod called the stories highlighted in the report ``heartbreaking'' and pledged action. ``I look forward to working collaboratively with the Ministers of Health, Education and Indigenous Affairs to bring about swift
changes,'' MacLeod said, adding youth with lived experience, community leaders and LGBTQ groups would also be consulted. Alvin Fiddler, Grand Chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation representing many northern Ontario Indigenous communities, called on the federal and provincial governments to form a committee focused on implementing the panel's advice.

is just clarifying that the five games is in addition to any other penalties or suspensions you get for the match penalty itself. Update: Evan Schemenauer reminded me that Greg Harnett’s 6-game suspension last season was reduced to 5 games because of the ambiguity of this rule. 42 – DEFINITION OF GROSS MISCONDUCT PENALTY When a player gets a gross misconduct penalty, he is tossed from the game. In 2018, the in-home player must also serve a five minute match penalty. Note that THREE goals need to be scored to get you out early for a match penalty compared to two for a major (this is not a new rule). Also, “racial taunts and/or slurs” (one of the things that will get you a gross misconduct penalty) is replaced by “racial, gender, religious, sexual orientation taunts and/or slurs”. 43.3 – THROWING THE STICK If you throw your stick at someone with a breakaway, they get a penalty shot. This was added to the text of this rule: “Further interpretation is as follows: the breakaway shall be in a traditional ‘north-south’ direction with initial separation between attacker and defender, incorporating the origin from inside two imaginary lines from the goal posts to where the closest restraining line meets the dasher boards.” That text was added to many other rules regarding breakaways as well (fouled from behind, intentional displacement of the goal on a breakaway, etc.). It was already in the old rule book but only for one rule (54.5 – Throwing stick or object at ball or ball carrier when opposing goalie has been removed). 52 – BALL OUT OF SIGHT The rule wasn’t changed, but a specific example was added: if a player is trying to hold the ball by lying on it, putting his foot on it, or holding it against his body, the other team gets possession. 55.4 – AFTER OFFICIALS WHISTLE
This is referring to when a goal does not count. The wording added was “The specific point of reference is the officials’ sounding of the whistle in determination of the precise point in stopping play” which doesn’t really clarify things. I think the idea is that if the ref blew his whistle in response to something and a goal is scored around the same time, the goal counts if it happened before the whistle itself, not before the something the whistle was in response to. I have a feeling this change was in direct response to an incident from last season when there was a question regarding the timing of the whistle vs. the timing of the actual penalty vs. the timing of the goal. I don’t remember the details but I have a feeling it involved the Stealth. Please leave a comment if you know what happened. 67.5 – NON-SHOOTER IN CREASE WHEN TEAMMATE SHOOTS If you are in the crease when your teammate shoots, you have to get out before the ball crosses the line. The clarification here is that your foot must “entirely make contact on the turf outside the crease” before the ball goes in. If you were lying in the crease, you must not have any part of your body in the crease when the ball goes in (though the wording of this part of the rule is confusing – it says “If you are lying in the crease, then you must not be in the crease for the goal to count”). The way I read it, it means that jumping out of the crease isn’t good enough if you don’t land before the ball goes in. I think this situation came up last season as well. Update: A New England goal was disallowed in Saskatchewan because someone in the crease didn’t quite get out in time. 74 – BOARDING The penalty says that there is an onus on a player not to put himself into a dangerous position. This wording is rather vague, and so this was added: “This player is still permitted to carry out normal
lacrosse plays, such as trying to dodge away from the opponent or make a move as a means to decrease the severity of the incoming contact.” To me, this doesn’t clarify anything. Was there a question as to whether a player was “permitted to carry out normal lacrosse plays”? 78 – ELBOWING Elbowing now includes use of the forearm, bicep, or shoulder. I guess they decided against adding a new penalty called “shouldering” because it sounds dumb. It also includes the text “that makes contact above or below the shoulders” which, I think, just means that you don’t have to hit someone in the head for this penalty to be called. 89.1 – GOALIE PLAYING WITH A BROKEN STICK The goalie is allowed to continue playing with a broken stick until the next stoppage of play, but as of now, he can only do this within his crease. Update: I missed this change the first time around. Thanks @SaskRushFans! 92.6 – NO TIMEOUTS REMAINING If you call a timeout when you don’t have any left, you get a delay of game penalty. This sentence was added: “The team is not granted the time-out“. I wonder if some coach had the guts to ask the ref “yes, we’ll take the minor penalty but we can have the timeout anyway, right?” 94.5 DISCRIMINATORY LANGUAGE Also expanded to include comments on sexual orientation and gender identity in addition to race and religion. 96 – LEAVING PLAYERS BENCH OR PENALTY BOX Much of this rule has been rearranged rather than rewritten. The “spirit” of the rule remains the same but it’s been cleaned up. Basically, once an “altercation” has begun and play is stopped, players on the bench must stay there until the altercation is over and the penalized players are heading to the penalty box. A related change to rule 96.1 says that if you leave the bench during an altercation, you get a bench minor penalty.

Try-outs and the 201819 season’s home ice season for all SNMH teams were held in area arenas in Hagersville and Caledonia, when schedules did

Knighthawks sign goalie Chase Martin
Martin prepares for the one-year deal that may be the biggest opportunity of his career CRAIG RYBCZYNSKI

TWO ROW TIMES
ROCHESTER NY — The Rochester Knighthawks announced today that they have signed Chase Martin to a one-year deal. The goaltending prospect brings a winning pedigree to the Knighthawks after backstopping his teams to a trio of championships. To prepare for the biggest opportunity of his lacrosse career, Martin admitted he has gone outside the box to improve his game. “Physically, I have been starting to take my diet more seriously and building a more solid game-day routine to tighten up in areas I may have lacked in last year,” he said. “Mentally, I have taken a deeper understanding of sports psychology. I have been reading a couple of books, and that has helped me to take a more focused approach to my game, especially with the goaltending position which is the hardest position to play in sports.” One of his favorite reads is Mike Babcock’s “Leave No Doubt: A Credo for Chasing Your Dreams.” Martin even brings Jim

Afremow’s “The Champion's Mind: How Great Athletes Think, Train, and Thrive” with him on road trips. He used his new focused game style with the Syracuse Stingers in last week’s 2018 LaxAllStars North American Invitational (LASNAI). The three-day event in Onondaga Nation featured 34 teams from around the world, including several teams with National Lacrosse League players. Playing in the tournament was another opportunity for Martin to face quality shooters.
“It was a run-and-gun challenge from every team,” he said. “I think it helped my game by being ready to play against anyone.” This past season, Martin played for the Senior “B” Six Nations Rivermen and helped the team advance to its sixth straight Ontario Finals. During the postseason, the netminder appeared in two games and recorded an 8.14 goals-against average. “He is one year older and one year wiser,” said Knighthawks Owner and General Manager Curt
Styres, who originally signed Martin prior to last season. “He has had a couple of good years. He has a lot of good tools and a lot to work with.” Martin recorded his finest season in 2017 as he powered the Six Nations Rivermen to a berth in the President’s Cup Finals, finishing the tournament with the top goals-against average (6.18) and a 4-1 record. He was rewarded with First Team All-Goalie honors as the Rivermen took home a silver medal. During the regular season, Martin was honored as
the co-recipient of the league’s top goaltender award for the Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA) Senior “B” Men's Lacrosse champs. The 2017 season was his second time to the President’s Cup. His first trip to the tournament was a memorable one as the Ontario champs captured the Senior “B” championship. During the regular season, Martin recorded a 5-2 record and a 5.72 goals-against average. The 25-year-old has also played three seasons of professional lacrosse. From 2015 to 2016, he played in the Canadian Lacrosse League (CLax) with the Ohsweken Demons. In both seasons, the Demons reached the Creator’s Cup Finals. During the 2017 Arena Lacrosse League (ALL) season, he continued his dominance by leading the Six Nations Snipers to a semifinal berth. Martin posted impressive numbers, collecting five wins, a 9.41 goals-against average and an .807 save percentage during the regular season. “Chase is a goalie who checks a lot of boxes for us,” said Knighthawks President of Lacrosse
Operations Jake Henhawk. “He has played at high levels and has won national championships. He is a solid goalie who can potentially be a breakout goaltender in this league. He is at the right age where goalies tend to come into their own, and we are looking forward to seeing what he can bring.” At the Junior “B” level, Martin experienced unprecedented success, backstopping the Six Nations Rebels to three straight Founders’ Cup championships (201214). He also earned three consecutive co-Goaltender of the Year honors in the process. With such a long resume of success, the Knighthawks are eager to see Martin compete for a spot in training camp. “Chase has the potential to be an NLL goaltender,” said Knighthawks Director of Player Development Duane Jacobs. “Like many goaltenders, it takes time to develop, and he is at a point where he can take his game to another level. It all depends on Chase and the work he is willing to put in.”
Hagersville Hawks can’t find their wings Slow start but it's still early enough in the season for a recovery

HAGERSVILLE — The Jr. "C" Hagersville Hawks are not off to a great start to the new hockey season, by anyone’s standards now with one win to show for six starts, but the season is still very young and so are some of this year’s roster. The fifth loss came Saturday night in Hagersville when the visiting Hamilton Huskies Jr. Blues, formerly the Dundas Blues, took the better end of a 5-1 score. The Huskies’ Chris Cudek waited until there was two seconds left in the first period to slip one in on Jamie Ferguson
in the Hawks net. It was almost “second verse, same as the first” as the teams remained scoreless until 19:48 when Connor Pilon made it a 2-0 game with Hawks’ Jacob Lauretani in the box for spearing. The good news was that the Hawks fought hard to stay with the third place Huskies, despite being burned twice with late goals. In the third period, the Hawks were tagged with an early period slashing call which turned into Hamilton’s third goal, scored by Colin Kijowski at 2:28. Then, with a man short, Stephen Bell scored a shorthanded and it was 5-0.
Patrick Sanelli broke the Hagersville’s gooseegg at 8:12 from Peter Cappucci but a little more than a minute later Carter Franks scored the game clincher for the 5-1 final score. The Hag-Hawks have a golden opportunity to turn their whole season around this week with three games on the plate, beginning Wednesday, Oct. 3, when they fly into Glanbrook to face the undefeated first place Rangers. Then, Friday night it won’t get any easier in Grimsby with the second place, Peach Kings, before returning home to host the floundering Dunnville Mudcats.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you need to look at your emotions intellectually this week; otherwise, your feelings may be hard to discern. Think through actions before you put them in motion. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Prepare for some surprises this week, Virgo. Processes will be introduced either by you or someone close to you, with interesting results. This is your time to excel.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Life is going well for you in most respects, Libra. But there is always room for a little improvement. Now is a great time to take advantage of good fortune and push ahead.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week you are likely working out something important in your mind that can help clarify your emotions. The answer you get may be different from what you expected.
