TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — An icon along Chiefswood Road and an anchor to the downtown Ohsweken business section, The Red Indian, has undergone a total make over under new manager, Morgan Green and is reopening under the new banner, “Gas, Grub and Goodies”. “I retired, but I got bored being retired,” says Green. He used to own the Oasis Gas and Variety, but retired and passed that business over to his wife and son. “I was just sitting’ around and when the opportunity came up, I said, ‘what the hell, I might as well.’” The first thing was to modernize the interior
of the store itself. For so many years, as the Red Indian, it had the look and feel of an old-time rural grocer and convenience store inside. It will still serve the same needs of the community, but will be a more modern atmosphere for his customers. “The gas pumps were new, so that was a bonus,” says Green. Even though Green says the project is behind schedule, the Grand Opening will still take place this Friday, November 2nd. “I’m putting in a sandwich and sub shop on site for the new year as well, serving up brown bag lunches,” he says. Green has a three year lease on the building but hopes to be successful enough to extend that lease when the time comes.

Highway 54 with the driver asleep. Officers were unable to wake the sleeping man and broke a window to gain entry into the vehicle and shut off the ignition. The 32 year old Brantford man was given a breathalyzer test and was arrested. He will appear in court on December 21.
No threats after lockdown on Hamilton high school HAMILTON — Police in Hamilton say they are investigating after a telephone threat triggered a lockdown at a local school. They say the Bishop Ryan Catholic Secondary School received the threat around 8 a.m. Police say the school was immediately placed on lockdown and officers were on scene making sure the students were safe. They say a search of the school turned up no evidence to support the threat. The lockdown was lifted around 12:30 p.m., and students were allowed to leave the school and reunite with their parents. They say a couple of students experienced ``medical crises'' unrelated to the situation during the lockdown.

She continued to recall the strong voice and energy of veterans recently passed. “A couple of weeks ago we also lost a very good friend of mine John Bradley Jr. Johnny and I were high school friends and I remember when he joined up with the army. We will miss Johnny for his service with the Six Nations Veterans Association and Royal Canadian Legion branch in Hagersville. He took over reciting the ‘Act of Remembrance’ for us when his father John Senior passed and he also raised his strong voice to provide the honour roll for us. I just heard that we also recently lost Gerald Hope who was very active and supportive of our veterans association, ” commented Chief Hill. Master of Ceremonies for the event, Marwood White introduced speakers who delivered passionate, supportive and enlightening words in remembering the sacrifices made by all the veterans. These speakers included: Will Bouma MPP Brantford-Brant Riding and Lt. Col. Lawrence Hatfield,
56th Field Regiment of Brantford who also represented Brantford-Brant MP Phil McColeman.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com
234 years ago, Six Nations takes up home at Grand River....
Telling the truth could cost ya EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW American cable tv news is incredibly polarized in 2018. Evidence of that polarization was dramatically present this last week after pipe bombs were mailed to Democratic ex-presidents Bill Clinton, Barak Obama, his supporters and CNNs New York and Atlanta headquarters. Journalists and analysts targeted by radical supporters of Donald Trump. A second instance of a Trump supporter turning violent played out after 18 people were shot in a mass attack on a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburg. It is a scary world when efforts of a “side” take root so much in the soil of an unwell person that violence erupts. Maybe this is the kind of ‘war’ and ‘cannibalism’ our ancestors spoke about when they were given the Great Law of Peace. It is good to have a variety of opinion. It is healthy to voice differences of perspective. Seeing things differently doesn’t mean we are unwell politically — it means that we are in the beginning stages of reclaiming our political identities as a community and working it out. That is to say that in order to come together as one mind, we need to first be safe to express our minds by using our voices, so that we can sort out the best of thoughts and come together at peace to a greater and collective consensus. This is what having a good mind is
all about. The job of the press is integral in today’s world to helping that good mind be healthy. We have been tasked with bringing the stories of the people, to the people. And restricting access to the press — or attacking the freedom of our stories in any means is an attack on our political and social well-being as indigenous people. TRT Columnist Rachel Snow is facing a similar attack this week. Her efforts to inform the her home community of Stoney Nakoda on the unspoken facts behind a land designation issue via a social media page resulted in the grandmother being hit with a $1 million dollar lawsuit by the band’s elected council — claiming defamation. This kind of heavy handed action against a band member for statements made on social media is weak, divisive and just plain cheap. By the way, that campaign Snow created ended up helping to halt the land designation vote in her community. When it comes to internal on-rez politics: we all deserve an opinion and we all deserve to voice those thoughts. We all, as indigenous people, deserve a platform to share our opinions and voices. We don’t all have to agree. We are not a homogenous pan-Indian society. We are vibrant and brave and smart and (relatively) free.

Haudenosaunee History: Joseph Brant’s battle with Simcoe JIM WINDLE
jim@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
It is no secret about the burning distain that existed between Joseph Brant and Lord J.G. Simcoe mainly over Simcoe’s arbitrary cancellation of almost a third of the Haldimand Deed lands as promised and thought delivered on October of 1784. One contemporary account states that when Simcoe presented what has been called the Simcoe Patent, upon reading it, he threw it on the floor in front of Simcoe and left without a word. Brant has a good relationship with Simcoe’s predecessors, Sir Guy Carlton and Sir Frederick Haldimand, who both clearly stated the intention and completeness of the Proclamation made on behalf of the King by his representative in North America, Frederick Haldimand. That Proclama-tion, which is politically much stronger than even a deed, set aside six miles on each side of the Grand River from its source to its mouth. When the Mississaugas sold the “use of they land” and not the land itself, saying they do not own the land, but could only sell their use of the land. Since Simcoe unilaterally chopped off some 240,000 from the most northerly regions of the Grand River in his proposed patent, there was great tension with Brant
x.
and those who followed him who felt they were taken by the Crown they had fought for and many died for, abandoned their traditional lands and forefathers for, only seven years later. Upon resenting the Can Mothers and Chiefs of what Simcoe had done, the Clan Mothers put the Warriors on alert. They were ready to go to war over it, but Brant himself, despite his own anger, was able to talk the Clan mothers back from the brink of war with their old allies. The following is and excerpt from a letter written by Simcoe to his superi-

or, Lord Dorchester on December 22, 1795, two years after Brant rejected the Simcoe Patent. Colonial Office Records, Q 282-1 “I hope that your Lordship will loose no time in forming some propositions or arrangements rela-tive to the lands of he Grand River Indians. I have just received a message from their chieftains requesting an answer to their speech on that point : The reply I gave to them was the repeating verbally the sentence in your Lordship’s letter (No.40) where you express yourself on that sub-ject. I have already informed
your Lordship of the only motive (No.70) of the only motive that induces me to go to the Grand River, particularly as upon the refusal of the Grant which this government offered to the Indians settled there of their land; I acquainted Brant that I should not interfere in any of their affairs and that all such transactions must pass through Colonel Butler.” Simcoe showed his dislike for Brant when he report, referring to Brant’s “unjustifiable” complaints against Colonel McKee. “It appears tome there can be little doubt, but that the withdrawing of the
King’s forces will de-stroy all confidence in the King's power among the Indian Nations — without the pail of His Majesty’s Dominions, and will render those within it most troublesome, and presump-tuous, particularly at the Grand River.” Simcoe then expressed his opinion on the murder of Brant’s son Issac, who had tried to kill Brant, some say during a drunken rage. Simcoe saw the advantage the terrible incident was to the Crown. “I consider it as a fortunate circumstance in that in attempting to assassinate his father, this
dan-gerous young man fell the victim of his own atrocity.” The a plot to eliminate Brant himself. Simcoe writes, “I had determined to demand the murderer (Brant), and meant in case of refusal, to have supported the Civil Power in his apprehension with the whole Military Force of the country, for which I had begun preparations.” He even complained that Brant had not covered the grave of his dead son as was required by law, but not by Mohawk custom. He also concocted a plan to move the Mohawks to Long Point area to “effectively separate the Mohawks of the Grand River from the other Indian Nations, and prevent what Brant once intimated to me in a letter.” Simcoe was still not secure that the Indian Allies would not one day turn on them. While some saw the settlement along the Grand as a defensive line between the Settlers and Western Indi-ans, Simcoe feared the same line could also be a weapon, if all Indians rebelled at the same time and joined up with the new USA. That never happened but Simcoe and Brant never trusted one another up until Simcoe’s death in 1806. Brant died a year later. While abolishing slavery in Canada, he also could never accept Indians as independent from the colonial government.

HALLOWEEN SAFETY
Whether out with your child, at home, or on the road - OPP want to pass on some safety tips that should be helpful to all... For Children...
See and be seen! Bright clothing, reflective tape and a flashlight or glow sticks to help light you up and light your way. Walk, don't run! Plan your route in neighbourhoods you know and don't approach homes that are in darkness. Use sidewalks; don't cut across yards or driveways and walk, single file, facing traffic at the edge of the roadway when sidewalks aren't available. Don't eat on the go! Wait until you get home and have a look at your treats with your parents before you start to eat them.
For parents...
Feed your children their favourite meal that night and give them seconds! Children won't be as tempted to dig into their treats and eat them before they get home. Although tampering is rare, an inspection with your assistance is wise. Do you know where your children are? Insist older children provide a route and timeline with an agreed upon finish time. A cell phone is an added bonus. If you go along they'll probably share some candy with you! Very young children should always be accompanied by an adult. Aunts, uncles, grandparents or trustworthy friends can step in if you can't make it.
For Homeowners...
Trust me; your dog won't like trick or treaters! Even normally friendly dogs can get a little testy with unidentified children taking things away from their house. Best to keep them away from the door or other paths the children might use. Turn the lights on! Although lights seem to ruin the ambiance on this night, a little light can go along way to keep children from tumbling off the front porch or having other potentially dangerous mishaps on your property. Tidy up just a little! Car ramps, flower pots, hoses, wheel rims, and lawn mowers represent a hazard to children as they move from home to home. Take a few minutes to remove potential hazards. If you use real candles, keep them clear of the trick or treaters! If you insist on using candles instead of bulbs don't forget the fire hazard and especially remember to keep them distant from the children. Slow down and watch for children! Don't let anything distract you from the task of driving. Drive like you are going through a community safety zone in front of a school. A child could dart out at any time.
Most important, have fun and stay safe!

If you're thinking of doing blackface for Halloween... just don't By Philip S. S. Howard, Assistant Professor of Education, McGill University
Once again, another racist incident about blackface has made headlines. This time it surrounds NBC host Megyn Kelly, who apologized both on air and in a memo to colleagues after her on-air comments defending racist Halloween costumes. During a round-table discussion about costumes on the Today show, Kelly said it was OK for white people use blackface to dress up as Black people. She defended a reality star who portrayed Diana Ross last year. ``But what is racist?'' Kelly asked. `` ...Back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.'' It now seems NBC will �ire Kelly as a result of this incident, undoubtedly raising questions about whether such a response is an over-reaction. Black journalists like CNN's Don Lemon and NBC's Al Roker have publicly indicted Kelly's statements. Many claim the offensive element of blackface dates back from a long time ago, and doesn't have anything to do with today. They claim blackface costumes, especially at Halloween, are just innocent fun.
What could be the harm? What is blackface? Blackface is the practice in which non-Black people darken their skin to deliberately impersonate, and usually to ridicule, Black people. It's popular right now on university campuses, often during Halloween and at campus events for students. Blackface costumes often include other paraphernalia such as wigs, fake dreadlocks or stuffed bosoms or behinds to further parody Black people. They also occasionally celebrate violence against Black people. Though blackface is likely as old as transatlantic slavery, its use is most often associated with minstrel shows, a form of racist white entertainment in the United States that emerged in the 1820s. The minstrels in these shows were white performers pretending to be Black. They painted their skin black with burnt cork or shoe polish, leaving wide areas around the mouth uncovered or painted red or white giving the appearance of oversized lips. Minstrel performers would then use ungainly movement, exaggerated accents, malapropisms
and garish attire to further ridicule Black people. Blackface was a deliberate attempt to represent Black people as bizarre and deviant, while appropriating their cultural forms for pro�it and to get a laugh. My research has found that when used in the present, blackface still intensi�ies feelings of racial pleasure for those who wear it, and for their audiences. But humour is a funny thing. What is it that makes blackface ``funny'' in the �irst place? Why are we motivated to put on costumes that appropriate other people's bodies, experiences and lives? Humour and racism While we imagine that we each have individual tastes in humour, this is only to a degree. Our humour depends integrally upon the contexts in which it occurs. We rely on prevailing ways of thinking and common understandings of what things mean. These ``shared ideas'' make us fairly certain that others will �ind our jokes funny. No one wants to laugh alone. The United States and Canada have several distinctive ways of thinking about racialized people _ both historically
and in the present. Ongoing settler-colonial relationships continue to de�ine us. These are relationships where settlers perpetuate ideas that Indigenous peoples are dead or dying out. This makes them a part of history, but not the present, and helps to justify settler access to Indigenous land. Similar relationships portray non-Black racialized groups as perpetually foreign, and culturally inferior, never able to belong to the nation. Many racially charged Halloween costumes are fuelled by these ways of thinking. Costumes that appropriate Indigenous culture, portray them as part of the past, or, worse, in ``cowboy and Indian'' scenes, re�lect settler ideas that Indigenous people no longer exist. If they no longer exist, they cannot contest settlers' claims to the land. Costumes of sheiks, geishas or Mexicans in sombreros emphasize the foreign-ness and ostensible absurdity of non-Black racialized groups. The ``humour'' and allure of these costumes �low directly from investment in settler-colonial relationships. It
William H. West was known as the “Progressive Minstrel” and was the owner of a troupe with some of the most prominent performers of the late 1800s. His shows routinely ended with the cast in blackface.
matters little whether those who engage in this kind of costuming understand the implications, or say that they wear them as tribute. Racist humour pushes the limits of acceptable racial discourse. Blackface, settler-colonialism and slavery Settler-colonial relationships and the history of slavery also in�luence how Black people are regarded today. These relationships attempt to place Black life outside the realm of the human. Philosopher Sylvia Wynter argues Black folk are construed as property - unworthy of human dignity. These ideas are normalized and impact the way Black people are treated with disregard and profound violence. Blackface costumes play on these historical relationships. They make the Black body property to be appropriated and discarded. They portray Black people as thugs, as worthy of death or make Black people's bodies into spectacle. They celebrate the dehumanization of and disregard for Black people. Heightening this effect is the way in which blackface is practised despite Black objection. Even if they claim not to know about minstrel shows, very few people who wear blackface nowadays are unaware of the fact that it is a racially edgy form of costuming, or that many Black people object to it. In wearing blackface, they, like Kelly, defend it despite these objections instead of trying to �ind out why Black people �ind it offensive. Doing so dismisses Black people's perspectives and insists instead that their interpretations prevail. Worse yet, this kind of racist expression is frequently defended as free speech. What is accomplished by defending the ostensible humour and fun of blackface? Humour has always been a vehicle for expressing racism. While minstrel shows
did so overtly, humour has currently become an important tool for covertly expressing racism when overt racism is, at least of�icially, frowned upon. Those engaging in racist humour propagate racist ideas at the same time as they deny the racism by saying: ``Lighten up! We're only joking.'' We saw this frequently with internet memes and political cartooning directed against Barack Obama. In fact, in recent years, the far right has become quite adept at using racist humour to air racist ideas. This makes claims that ``I was not aware'' largely irrelevant, if not suspicious. Even when apologies follow, the damage has been done. It is much like removing a nail from a piece of wood. It never repairs the damage. The circulation of these ideas bolsters the increasing global racial nationalism of our day. So it is actually a much larger issue than people failing to be sensitive because Black people cannot get over the past. Rather, the issue is the denial and furthering of racist relationships in the present. Efforts to defend blackface and justify other racist expressions erase the racism of the past and, crucially, protect the racism of the present. They also serve to delegitimize Black opinion, and anyone who objects to racist humour. These ``jokers'' label dissenters as oversensitive and politically correct. This plays into the same disregard of Blackness that blackface represents. These effects must be taken seriously if we wish to push back against the ways in which racist narratives and practices are becoming increasingly normalized in our day.

Rain doesn’t stop Annual Zombie Run fundraiser
Local school Kawennio:io/Gaweniyo to receive thousands of dollars raised by community CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Each year, many festivities in the spirit of Halloween are eagerly awaited as costume parties, trunk or treats and more fill the community. And one of the most anticipated events each year has been the Annual Six Nations Zombie Run, where spooks, ghouls and scares collide on a 5km track. The run is set up to offer a night-time sprint or stroll through creepy obstacles while being haunted and hunted by zombies and more. This year, the run utilized the Community Hall grounds and offered a Halloween dance with music by DJ Anonymous to finish the evening. But what makes this event a staple of Halloween within Six Nations is not only the effort, but also the cause as runners are given the opportunity to collect sponsors to help give back. Organizer Artie Martin
SIX NATIONS — The Fifth Annual Zombie Run took place last Sunday at the Six Nations Community Hall and allowed for over $2000.00 to be raised for the Kawenni:io/Gaweniyo Elementary School. Tons of runners got to enjoy a 5km strip of ghouls, ghosts, zombies and PHOTOS BY CHEZNEY MARTIN more as part of Halloween fun.
along with the Zombie Committee, selected the recipient of this years funds to go to none other than the Kawenni:io/ Gaweniyo Elementary School, which is continuing to work towards building their own school facility.
“This is our fifth year doing this and it originally started with me and Connie Johnson when we were talking about fundraising,” said Martin, as Johnson taught two grades within the school. “And we wanted to do a zombie run for Kawen-

ni:io/Gaweniyo.” However, what stopped the process was the school policy in regards to celebrating non-traditional holidays as the school is a traditional Mohawk and Cayuga immersion school. “We understood that and it never went any-
where,” he said. “So this year, I thought it would just be good to help them — we decided as a committee that Kawenni:io/Gaweniyo would be a good place to send the money to.” As runners made their way to the tracks, Martin
described that a fog machine had cast a perfectly timed smoggy cover over the track to set the stage. But even with the light rain fall throughout the evening, the turnout welcomed tons of runners and accumulated over $2000.00 to be donated to the school. “We have $2105.90 to give to Kawenni:io/ Gaweniyo,” he said. “We also started a raffle that night which raised $210.00 so far, and that raffle will conclude at this years Santa Cause Parade as well,” with the raffle funds going to Kawenni:io/Gaweniyo as well. The raffle offers several prizes including a twonight stay at Great Wolf Lodge, a 55 inch LG FlatScreen and an ultimate movie and dinner package for four. With KT Gas and Convenience providing support to the run each year, they allowed for Reichert Harris to take home a PS4 Pro and a game after he collected $455.00, which was the most money raised by an individual. After years of being moved around and placed in “hand-me-down” facilities, the Kawen-ni:io/ Gaweniyo Elementary School found a home within the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena thanks to the generous Curt Styres. But their need for their own space and facility has remained and with the help of the community through events such as this, they are hoped to reach their goal soon. “It seems like there’s a wave of help pushing towards Kawenni:io/ Gaweniyo and we decided we wanted to be a part of that,” he said. Martin noted that the next fundraising event for the school will be their Annual Toy Bingo coming up on November 3 at the Gathering Place by the Grand.

Family calls for inquest into death of former Grassy Narrows chief CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO — The family of an Ontario First Nation chief who was a vocal advocate for a community plagued by a mercury-contaminated river called Friday for an inquest into his death, saying it was needed to shed light on the
illness he grappled with for years. Those close to Steve Fobister Sr., the former chief of the Grassy Narrows First Nation, said the probe could prove what they believe is true _ that the community leader's death at 66 earlier this month was the result of long-term mercury poisoning. ``The family is looking
for the truth and we don't see any other avenue to find out the truth,'' said Robert Williamson, a friend of Fobister. ``An inquest would be something that finds out what's really happening.'' Fobister's family also called on the prime minister and Ontario's health minister to acknowledge that the former chief was poisoned by mercury.
``Our beloved Steve died without ever getting the closure of having a government minister look into his eye and admit that he was poisoned by mercury,'' said Fobister's niece, Sylvia Wapioke. ``Instead, he was forced to fight for four decades for mercury justice in the face of denial, delay and discrimination.'' Mercury contamination has plagued the

English-Wabigoon River system near Grassy Narrows ever since a paper mill in Dryden, Ont., dumped 9,000 kilograms of the substance into the river systems in the 1960s. The contamination closed a thriving commercial fishery and devastated Grassy Narrows' economy. Fobister's family said he suffered from a degenerative neurological disorder that was the result of mercury poisoning. Consequently, Fobister had trouble walking and chewing, they said. An inquest into his death, they said, would help others in his community who are also dealing with similar ailments. A spokeswoman for Ontario's chief coroner said his office had learned of Fobister's Oct. 11 death on Friday and would begin an investigation. A decision about holding an inquest will be made after the investigation is complete, said Cheryl Maher. The coroner's office investigates approximately 17,000 deaths in the province a year and holds 40 to 45 inquests on average. Sol Mamakwa, the NDP legislator who represents the riding that is home to Grassy Narrows, said the provincial government needs to fully acknowledge the damage that has been done to the community by mercury poisoning. ``I asked the government to admit publicly that
Mr. Fobister had died as a result of mercury poisoning,'' he said. ``Again, they did not answer.'' When asked about Fobister's death on Thursday, Ontario Government House Leader Todd Smith said both Energy Minister Greg Rickford and Environment Minister Rod Phillips have met with the chief and elders of Grassy Narrows. ``What happened in Grassy Narrows is an historic tragedy,'' he said. ``I know that our government is committed to working extremely closely with the members of Grassy Narrows ... to come to a proper conclusion in this case.'' Earlier this week, federal Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott called Fobister a ``strong and passionate voice'' for Grassy Narrows. ``It is clear that community members have suffered for generations_ suffering that continues to this day,'' she said. ``Steve's work was focused on ensuring a better and brighter future for his community, and the federal government will continue to be a partner in this critical work.'' Ontario's former Liberal government committed $85 million to remediate the river system, while the federal government has committed to funding a treatment centre for those affected by mercury contamination.

WINNIPEG —The Speaker of the Manitoba legislature rejected a request Monday to forbid politicians from discussing their opponents' criminal convictions and other troubles. Myrna Driedger rejected a request from Liberal member Judy Klassen, who wanted Tory government members banned from referencing NDP Leader Wab Kinew's legal troubles during debates in the chamber. ``Freedom of speech is one of the most important principles underlying the function of this and any Canadian legislature,'' Driedger ruled Monday. ``It is, in fact, one of the main pillars of parliamentary privilege.'' Driedger pointed to precedents set by Speakers in the House of Commons and elsewhere that have upheld the protection from being sued or prosecuted for

virtually anything said inside the chamber. Such protection, Driedger said, is needed to allow politicians to ask questions and raise issues without fear or intimidation. Klassen, who is Indigenous, filed the complaint in June. She said the government was perpetuating a stereotype of First Nations by raising Kinew's past during debates. Kinew had several runins with the law, some of which he revealed in his 2015 memoir, The Reason You Walk. He was convicted for impaired driving and for assaulting a cab driver in

his early 20s more than a decade ago _ offences for which he has since received pardons. Two other items were not mentioned in Kinew's book. He was given a conditional discharge in 2004 for an assault in Ontario, and was charged with assaulting his partner in 2003. The latter charge was stayed, although his former partner said last year she maintains Kinew threw her across the room. The Tories have repeatedly raised Kinew's past, along with more recent homophobic and misogynist social media posts and rap lyrics, and set up a website to highlight the comments.

Understanding compassion to overcome bullying GMSU -- The word compassion literally means “to suffer together”. The act of compassion is what stirs you into action when you see someone suffering and feel the need to do something to end that suffering. Needless to say — learning and practising compassion is a powerful tool to overcome bullying and end it in your community, family, workplace or school.
But things can get complicated. You see the bully and the person being bullied, also known as the ‘target’, have their own issues that brought each of them into the situation. Everyone has a backstory. And prt of overcoming bullying long term means discarding labels that vilify or victimize either the aggressor or the target in a bullying situation.
Teaching youth to be compassionate is important. First, recognize the suffering in a situation. Next, decide what you can do to help. And lastly, take action towards a solution that is within your reach. For example, let’s say a girl on the playground is getting bullied by a group of three older girls. She is trying to walk away but the older girls won’t let her
go. She is hanging her head down and looks a little afraid. If you can tell she is feeling bad and want to help her — take action in the best and safest way you can. Invite the girl to come join your circle of friends to get her away from the girls who are being aggressive. Tell a teacher or grown up you trust what you saw. Or if the situation is more
serious you can even call the police. The bottom line to bullying anywhere is that it can be ended. But it takes human will. That step of action by everyday willing people to overcome bullying situations with wisdom, support and empowerment so everyone can live a life free of oppression.

What Is the Definition of Compassion Compassion. This is the desire to alleviate the suffering of another person. To have compassion for someone doesn’t really mean feeling sorry for them or pitying them — but that you can sympathize with what they are going through. In bullying situations compassion can help both sides of the issue. Both the bully and the victim have personal issues that make up how they treat people and how they handle themselves in a given situation. Unless an observer fully knows both the bully and the victim, objective truth of the situation may never come to light. Compassion for the Victim The victim, or target, needs compassion in a bullying situation because they are the one who was attacked. However there can be situations that later reveal the target did something to instigate the bully and aggravated the situation in some way. This could’ve been done without bad intention, but in the eyes of the bully that aggravation warranted some kind of retaliation. Offering compassion for the target does not mean making them a martyr, or giving them everything they ask for. It means empowering them with the assistance to move past that bullying situation and giving them what they need to heal from the event. Perhaps the target needs some counselling or mentoring to understand why things are happening. In a classroom situation, offering access to staff who will ensure students can continue classes without harassment can be an empowering solution for targeted students and also help end bullying situations in schools. Offering compassionate support to targeted victims is empowering, solidifying the truth that targets are not alone and that everyone is worthy of dignity and respect. Compassion for the Bully Does a bully deserve compassion too? The answer is yes. Even if the actions of a bully, also known as the aggressor, are malicious and hurtful there are many reasons behind that behaviour — the why behind them taking action to harm someone else. It’s true that some people are just plain mean spirited. Others might be reacting to a frustrating situation, or feeling like they are out of control. The important thing to remember about an aggressor is vilifying them — instead of calling out the bullying behaviour — is not going to make the situation any better. In fact, it could get worse. Oversimplifying a bullying situation by labelling the aggressor a “bully” can overlook a situation that needs immediate intervention by mental health professionals and even possibly the police. Perhaps the aggressor has been living in a violent home situation and physical retaliation is all they know. They could also be the victim of psychological, emotional, sexual of physical abuse at the hands of an older sibling, parent or other family member. The good news is that there are several local health resources children, youth and even adult aggressors can access to help break free from unhealthy situations that may have aggravated their response in a bullying situation. With the help of an able counsellor who looks into a bullying situation with compassion for the “bully” — ending a hopeless cycle of hostility and violence can help an aggressor heal and could also be a long term solution to stop bullying in your community. Compassion for All Compassion is world changing. One simple act of kindness will lead to many other acts of kindness like the ripple effect that is seen when a stone is cast into a pond. Compassion for targets helps them heal from trauma, while compassionate intervention with aggressors can sometimes resolve a bigger issue and help them find healing as well. When you show compassion — you are telling everyone in the situation that they are still valued — even if they were hurt, or even if they acted in the wrong. No one wants to be defined by their mistakes or made to feel like they deserves to be treated badly. When it comes to bullying there is so much that can be done to halt the harm and turn the tides towards kindness. With the right approach parents, teachers, and community leaders can break the cycle of bullying and make our communities healthier, happier places to be.

Ferry named for a Mi'kmaq poet laureate CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
HALIFAX — Mi'kmaq poet Rita Joe once wrote that the ``beauty of my people'' had been for-gotten. But that is hardly the case in the city of Halifax. A ceremony was held Friday on the waterfront to officially unveil a new harbour ferry that has been named in her honour. The name was chosen through a public vote. Joe was also an artist, songwriter and craftswoman from Eskasoni First Nation in Cape Breton. ``There's already a boat named after her on the reservation, and now there's a ferry named after her in Halifax. She would have been so happy,'' her daughter, Frances Sylliboy, said Thursday as she drove to the capital for the ceremony. ``People are going to ask, 'Who is Rita Joe?' And people are going to find out.'' Joe's poems and songs
portray a mixture of pain and joy, from the loss of her parents at a young age in Whycocomagh, N.S., through to the full reclamation of her aboriginal language and culture late in her life - a journey documented in books, films, songs and in several anthologies. Spiritual themes and celebrations of nature are woven through Joe's work, particularly in her lat-er years as accolades and honours came to a woman who once said she was simply ``stating the facts of life.'' In a poem about her sunrise ceremony, she wrote: ``An amazement is contained in my native mind / What is most beautiful the senses find. The humility speaks loud and clear / My culture, put down so long, now dear.'' Her early life had been hard. In childhood, she was shifted between foster families, and eventu-ally requested entry into a residential school at the age of 12, where she was prohibited from speaking Mi'kmaq. ``When I began to
write, I wondered why the beauty of my people had not been recorded,'' she said in her autobiography, ``Song of Rita Joe.'' Her poetry spoke of regaining her ancestral culture, with one work noting, ``my heart remains / tuned to native time.'' ``I write mostly to inspire others,'' she wrote in her autobiography, as she struggled with Parkinson's disease. ``If others look at me _ blind in one eye, almost deaf, often with socks that don't match - the attitude I put forth may convince them that they could do even better.'' Sylliboy said Joe wrote more than 700 poems, a collection she's kept in her home on the First Nation near Sydney since her mother's death in 2007. In her autobiography, Joe spoke of how some poetry vented her anger about ``what the world chooses to deny of my peoples' expression and history.'' However, her work was also filled with positive imagery of her home community along Bras
d'Or Lake. ``In the morning we awaken to the sounds outside, seeing the beauty of water in the rising tides, listening to old folks telling stories of long ago, when the earth was young,'' she said for the narration of the film, ``Rita Joe: Song of Eskasoni.'' Theresa Meuse, a Mi'kmaq writer, said the naming ceremony is meaningful to the aboriginal artists Joe inspired. Meuse helped prepare a Mi'kmaq anthology in honour of the poet. Meuse said she believes Joe would have been pleased by having her name on a ferry, where people from many cultures and backgrounds gather for daily journeys. ``People sitting on the ferry, sharing stories and
telling stories _ I think she would just love that,'' she said. Halifax Mayor Mike Savage said the city's ferry naming contests have helped raise awareness about the province's rich history. Other vessels have been named after Viola Desmond, an African Nova Scotian who fought for human rights, and Vincent Coleman, a hero of the Halifax Explosion of 1917. ``I always say when someone gets on the ferry ... they may ask people to tell them the story of the person,'' he said. ``That's the point of naming things after specific people. It tells their story, and by telling that story we tell the wider story of the province.'' Two other ferries hon-
our military men killed in Afghanistan. Master Cpl. Christopher Stannix of Halifax was 24 when he was killed by a roadside bomb in April 2007. Craig Blake, a petty officer second class from Halifax, was the first Canadian sailor killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan. The 37-year-old father of two was killed by an improvised explosive device in 2010. At 260 years old, the ferry service has been recognized as the oldest, continuously operating saltwater ferry in North America. It links downtown Halifax with the former city of Dartmouth, carrying 1.7 million passengers annually.

BRANTFORD — The importance of live performance has had it’s role in spreading musical talent for thousands of years, and although the advent of technology has allowed for music to be accessible
at the tips of our fingers, it hasn’t changed the experience of raw emotion and connection that live music brings. The Coffee House and Open Mic at the Woodland Cultural Centre brought this experience to life last weekend. With guests illuminated by scenic candlelight and the ambience

For me, I wanted to make my main character be a strong, indigenous female.”

Two prominent Navajo artists have each released comics that utilize their traditional stories as inspiration one after the other. In 2017, Dale Deforest revealed his comic “The Hero Twins,” which he described as being “plucked from the Diné Creation Story, “The Hero Twins” follows two warriors of the same name throughout their journey to rid the Spirit World of evil spirits.” “The Hero Twins” to the Navajo people of the southwest have been viewed as protectors of the people and their adventures have sparked the imaginations of Navajo children and youth for

The vibe was relaxed and welcoming to my new music and it was great for aspiring musicians such as myself!” He performed with the same upbeat attitude and offered visitors a slice of his original pieces. The evening was a wonderful escape from a busy week into the strings and beats played by the hands of great performers.

Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Reach: No other advertising vehicle has the
reach of newspapers. Nationally, nearly 105 million adults read a newspaper in print or online on an average weekday and more than 111 million read a Sunday newspaper. Seven in ten adults read a newspaper or visit a newspaper website in an average week (Scarborough Research).
2. Quality: Your very best prospects are newspaper
readers. People who are typically labeled upscale meaning upper income, higher education, professional/ managerial occupations all count themselves as newspaper readers. In 2010, 79%of adults with $100,000 or more income read a newspaper or visited a newspaper website in the past week, as did 79% of college graduates and 78% of those employed in professions or in management roles.
3. Targeted: From targeting ad placement by
section readership to post it notes, to a few residential blocks, newspapers can fine tune your message.
4. Immediate: Newspaper advertising is among the fastest forms of advertising with extremely short deadlines that allow ads to be created and run in a matter of days.
5. Flexibility: Newspapers, unlike most other
media allow the advertiser to build an ad in any size.
6. Credibility/Trust: More than any other
medium, consumers believe in newspaper advertising. Thirty-six percent of adults surveyed find newspapers are trustworthy or believable, a large gap when compared to television (8 percent), or the Internet (15 percent). (How America Shops and Spends 2011)..
7. Selective vs. intrusive: Shoppers are less
willing today to accept advertising that is spooned out to them. They seek out advertising on their own. Newspapers are the medium shoppers use most for shopping in an average week. More than half (52%) use newspapers, exceeding others like television (36%), ads appearing in search engines (11%) or ads on general interest websites (16%) Frank N. Magid Associates 2011.
8. Environment: The newspaper editorial
environment typically adds credibility and legitimacy to the brand being advertised. To readers, the advertising in a newspaper is every bit as important as the news.
9. Relied Upon: Newspaper advertising is a
valuable commodity to readers. A recent research study surveyed shoppers’ attitudes about which type of media they preferred for retail advertising. In terms of media used to check out ads, the most valuable media in planning shopping, used for comparing prices, most convenient, most up to date, most trustworthy, believable and preferred, newspapers out distance all other forms combined.
10. Results: Newspaper advertising works! While
this point should go without saying, the fact remains that newspapers are frequently thought of as a results medium. Newspaper ads create traffic, move merchandise and yes, establish brands. We cannot lose track of the notion that, in a world of thousands of messages a day, advertising in newspapers are one sure thing when it comes to producing results. Scarborough Research 2010 How America Shops and Spends/ Frank N. Magid Associates

Jordin Tootoo retires from the NHL Releases new biography, All the Way: My Life on Ice

TWO ROW TIMES
BRANDON MAN — After a 13-year NHL career - not easy to do - the NHL’s first Inuit hockey player to break the ice, so to speak, Rankin Inlet’s Jordin Tootoo has announced he is “hanging ‘em up” after over 723 NHL regular-season games, 42 post-season games with 65 goals, 96 assists and 1,010 penalty minutes. He was drafted by the Nashville Predators in the fourth round, 98th overall, of the 2001 NHL draft and

played most of his career in music city. He also spent time in Detroit, New Jersey
and Chicago. He was a Jr. Hockey star with the Western Hockey League's Wheat Kings. "When I came to Brandon in 1999, I didn't think of myself as an Indigenous role model, I was just a hockey player that would fight with everything I had to make the NHL," Tootoo said in a recent interview following the announcement. "This community embraced me and looked beyond my background and just judged me for how I played the game. And it's pretty special and symbolic to come full circle and be back here to announce that I have retired from the NHL." He reflects on his career with a sense of pride, but also a sense of history. "I look back and I reflect on my hockey career and the opportunities it's given me away from the game," Tootoo said. "Personally I didn't think it would go this far but I am grateful for everything that's put in front of me — it's been a tremendous ride." Jordin was still carrying the emotional scares
caused by the suicide of the older brother he looked up to and emulated. Terence Tootoo was a star Jr. player in his own right, who was being looked at by NHL scouts and was expected to become the first Inuit player to make it to the NHL. His death shattered Jordin but a letter left to him by his troubled brother helped to focuses his career. “Jor, go all the way,” he wrote. “Take care of the family. You’re the man. Terence.” Despite his bright future, Terence also had dark side, created by alcohol and drug abuse. “It’s the mid-career memoir of Tootoo, a toughas-nails, built-like-a-brick fighter who, against all odds, reached hockey’s highest summit from the small village of Rankin Inlet in Nunavut,” says a forward to Tootoo’s new biography, entitled, ‘All the Way: My Life on Ice.’ “The book’s bountiful f-bombs, derivatives and an assortment other colourful metaphors give it the raw, bare bones feel of being in a bar listening to Tootoo tell his story. Except he’s not drinking. Nearly four years removed from a mid-season stint in rehab, Tootoo is still sober, following more than a decade of heavy drinking and all the debauchery and demons that ensued.” But it comes with a warning. Although inspirational, this book is also direct, foulmouthed and descriptive in his references to the level of darkness sudden fame and fortune brought with them.

But there is still a chasm between themselves and the second place Peach Kings who are 12-1-1 for 25 points, ten ahead of the Hawks after 14 games played so far this early season. The opposition only gets tougher this coming Saturday night when the first place Glanbrook Rangers bring their 13 wins and no losses to the Hagersville Arena in the biggest test for the Hawks so far this season. Paris native, Nick Visser, leads the Hagersville scoring list with seven goals and seven assists in 14 games played.

ONONDAGA — The Iroquois Nationals announced the appointment of Rich Kilgour to the head coaching position for the 2019 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship (WILC). Kilgour will resume his role with the Nationals for the second time in his career. “Bringing him back on board lets him finish the job he started back in 2015 when he was selected as the head coach of that team,” said Ansley Jemison, Executive Director of Iroquois Nationals Lacrosse. “He brought a level of professionalism to the team and a level of expectations. I think he did a great job with the tools we gave him to be successful.” Kilgour, who played for the Iroquois Nationals in 2003, led his nation to a 4-2 record and a silver medal at the 2015 tournament in Onondaga Nation. The Iroquois finished second in pool play and advanced to the WILC Finals against Team Canada.

recreation and has made incredible contributions to Indigenous sport locally and internationally. Forsyth’s current role as the Director of First Nations studies at Western University is a testament to her strengths as a visionary leader, dedicated to youth and sport initiatives. In a statement the council recognized the important role of women in leadership positions saying, “In moving forward, NAIG Council is honoured to have these two inspiring Indigenous women leading the NAIG Council and the Aboriginal Sport Circle and would like to acknowledge, recognize and celebrate the magnitude of the Indigenous sport movement in Canada. Through the celebration of sport and culture, the NAIG Council has the opportunity to uplift our youth and communities,
encourage sharing and learning, promote understanding and respect, and build a greater future for all Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island. NAIG Council wishes the newly appointed leaders, the strength and wisdom to continue to build on the good work that has been done, and thank them for their efforts and determination in bringing sport opportunities to our youth and communities.” “It’s an incredibly exciting time for our people. I am honoured and grateful” said Dale Tamara Plett, NAIG Council President. “We have an exceptional National leader at the helm of the Aboriginal Sports Circle with Dr. Forsyth. I look forward to continue on with the great work already established and to be tasked by my remarkable colleagues at the North American Indig-
enous Games Council, to raise the standards for the North American Indigenous Games, even higher. I am proud to see our youth be strong in who they are, with opportunities to celebrate their athletic achievements on an international platform, such as the NAIG. The North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) are a multi-sport, multi-disciplinary event involving Indigenous youth, aged 13-19, from Canada and the United States (also known as Turtle Island). NAIG offers 14 sport competitions in addition to a vibrant cultural program, showcasing local and North American Indigenous cultural groups, artists and performers. The games were first held in 1990 in Edmonton, Alberta, and has been staged on nine other occasions since then.

Nation product. “There’s an old saying, ‘You can be on the right track, but if you don’t keep moving, sooner or later, the train’s going to get you.’ We are going to keep moving down that track, improve a little bit more than them, and improve a little bit more to catch Canada.” Kilgour was recently named one of the head coaches for the National Lacrosse League’s Buffalo Bandits. The 49-year-old spent the previous eight seasons as an assistant coach with the Bandits, following an 18-year playing career in Buffalo. He was a mainstay with the Bandits from 1992-2009, serving as captain for 12 seasons and winning four championships. Kilgour was rewarded by being inducted into the NLL Hall of Fame and the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame. He also excelled at the Junior “A” and Senior “A” levels, capturing one Minto Cup (1990) and four Mann Cups (1993-96). Kilgour has continued to achieve
success on the bench, earning three Mann Cups (2013, 2014 and 2016) as the head coach of the Senior “A” Six Nations Chiefs. Cody Jamieson, who coached alongside him in 2015 with the Iroquois, and played for him with the Chiefs, said Kilgour possesses certain qualities that have made him so successful. “He is a players’ coach,” said Jamieson. “He played at the highest level for almost 20 years and was a leader on all those teams. Rich played at the world level with the Iroquois Nationals. He has done it all with lacrosse. His transition to coaching was just the next step of his leadership. I think he is a good choice (to coach the Iroquois).” Kilgour now joins Rochester Knighthawks Owner and General Manager Curt Styres on the Iroquois Nationals staff. Last week, Styres was named the general manager for the 2019 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship. It’s quite the dynamic duo, as
the two seasoned lacrosse executives have combined to win seven National Lacrosse League titles. “Both of them are professionals and have multiple levels of experience,” said Jemison. “I am excited to see the two of them work together. I think they are a great match. I am looking forward to seeing who they put together for the rest of their coaching staff.” The Iroquois are building a staff and a team that can challenge for that elusive gold medal. In their quest to dethrone the fourtime defending champion Canadians, the Nationals are confident that Kilgour is the right coach for the job. “He brings a championship presence with him. He has been to a lot of places and has been very successful,” said Styres. “His success as a player speaks for itself. The success he has had as a coach is because of all the work that he puts into it. He is always talking to people and trying to take that next step.”
