100-years has come and gone since what was billed “the war to end all wars” ended on Nov. 11, 1918, and the citizen turnout at the Brantford Cenotaph, Sunday morning, was large and respectful with well rehearsed school choirs, political and social leaders of the Brantford community offering speeches commemorating the sacrifices made by members of the Canadian military during all wars and conflicts throughout the world. But at the same time, one could not help but notice the unusually heightened security measures with buses and city works trucks blocking vehicle access to anywhere near the monument. Police were seen scanning over the large crowd from various high vantage points, including the roof of the Armouries located across the street from the cenotaph. Fortunately there was no incident and the people enjoyed an especially moving 100th anniversary of the end of WWI, when the big guns finally fell silent at 11 o’clock in the morning of November 11th, 1918.

OHSWEKEN - Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill requested privacy for surviving families after police released the identities of three homicide victims re ϐ Road outside of Oneida Nations of the Thames last weekend. ϐ identities of the deceased as 37 year old Melissa Trudy Miller, 33 year old Alan Grant Porter and 32 year old Micheal Shane Jamieson - all of Six Nations. ϐ victims did not die of natural causes and an investigation into a triple homicide has begun — with police services from Six Nations, Oneida and OPP working together on the case. "We are saddened to hear of the recent murder of three of our community members," said Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill. "Our thoughts now are with the family members and our community agencies are gathering together to provide support to the families

and the community." Six Nations Health Services opened a crisis command centre for members of the community over the weekend to help cope with the grief of the discovery. Chief Hill said, "We understand that this is an on-going police investigation by the OPP and we ask that the families be granted the privacy that they have requested" Six Nations Health Services is providing extended hours for support in the community starting Police were alerted to the presence of a grey pick-up ϐ Road on November 4 were the three victims were found dead. Police would ϐ were inside the vehicle, as
was previously reported by London media. Post mortems were conducted on November 6 in Toronto and OPP say the cause of death was ϐ each of the victims. Little details have emerged save the date, time and location of the discovery along with a photo of a grey Chevy pick up truck believed to be involved. We reached out to the OPP and spoke to Constable Max Gomez with OPP’s West Region Headquarters - Middlesex County and ϐ the ongoing investigation. Gomez said details about the scene are not being released to the public. This, he says, is an effort to not jeopardize the investigation.
“At this point the investigative team is focused on establishing an accurate timeline of the events, that is why we have released the information about a vehicle that was found at the location and ask anyone who may have been in the area to contact the tip line or Six Nations Police.” Gomez said Police do not have a suspect in mind. With the communities of Oneida and Six Nations now tied together with four murders, community members are concerned. The body of murder victim Douglas Hill was recovered in a shallow grave in August 2017 just a short distance away from where Miller, Jamieson and Porter were found. According to reporting
by Postmedia, Miller and Hill were common-law partners. A 17 year old girl was charged in the death of Hill. Three others: Nicholas Joel Shipman, Holly Martin and Lori Anne Staats were charged. In October 2018 the charges against the three adults were dismissed with a judge citing insufϐ the charges into a trial. The trial for the youth was set to begin on November 8. Postmedia reported the charges against the minor suspect were also dropped. TRT has been unable to ϐ report. Shipman was arrested by OPP on November 3 in an unrelated car theft on Middleport Road. Oneida Nations of the Thames Chief Jessica Hill said in a statement earlier in the week the situation points to the real need for Oneida to have increased security on the territory. Gomez says while the recovery of the bodies on Sunday is a triple homicide that police don’t think there is a public safety risk. Gomez said, “It is a homicide because the parties did
not die from natural causes Ǥ ϐ ing is cause for concern, the ϐ time, do not suggest that there is an imminent threat to public safety. As always, we encourage members of the public to take personal safety seriously and report any suspicious activity or event to police by calling 911.” Six Nations Police issued a statement saying they are now working with OPP in the investigation. Six Nations Victim Services said they were assisting the grieving families with supports. OPP are expected to hold a press conference on Thursday at Six Nations to provide updates to the investigation. Gomez said, “It is of utmost importance to us that communities affected are represented and engaged.” Police are now asking for the public's assistance. Anyone who may have any information is asked to contact a newly established police tip-line at 1-844-6775050, the Six Nations Police Service at 519-445-2811 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com
Are female writers really “garbage?” CHEZNEY MARTIN chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Crunch time had come yet again this past Tuesday, as I sat at my desk perusing the internet for more folly to have an opinion on. After a simple google search I came across an article titled “Three Reasons Why Female Writers Are Garbage,” written by Matt Forney in 2015. The longer that I read the piece, the more I wanted to laugh. “Nothing makes the vein in my forehead rise like being forced to read the gurglings of a female writer. With few exceptions, the vast majority of writing put out by girls these days is worthless,” wrote Forney. ϐ that “their sex lets them
get a pass for bad writing,” and included “I’ve devised a simple test for determining whether a female writer is worth the telomeres I’m wasting on her: if she were a man writing about the same subject, would I still be reading?” His second reason was “they won’t shut up about themselves,” including “they don’t lead exciting lives, they don’t have interesting opinions, and they don’t pay attention to what’s happening around them. It’s because of this that even “real” female writing rarely advances beyond the level of a diary entry.” His third reason, the most laughable, read “they don’t take risks,” adding “the reason why most female typists are so bland is because they prefer to cater to the tastes of the average imbecile rather
than take a chance on something different.” Thus I have decided to retort. ϐ Ȅ when I was in high school, I took part in the indigenous Turning Point Essay ϐ place. Upon arriving to the ceremony and reading my piece in front of those in attendance, I was approached by members of the judging team. They told me, that they were incredibly surprised ϐ female. They had believed that my name was actually Martin Chezney because my writing was very masculine. So yeah, I suppose my “sex” had everything to do with it. To his second point — as a journalist with a favour for human interest, it actually is a part of my job to write and tell the
stories of others, in exception to editorial content much like this piece. I meet new people and learn constantly through this profession and I try my hardest to tell stories that are interesting; I have no time for a diary. To his third point — taking risks as a female can often result in assault or abuse of some form, however shouldering my way to the front of a scrum for a photo op I suppose could be seen as a risk. But I think self-preservation is still the smarter option. And I write that as someone that has been stalked and criminally harassed. Might I also add that underneath the squandered writing of Mr. Forney rests an ad reading “stop getting tricked by bad girls who are pretending to be good! Our most
important article of the year gives you 30 signs that a girl has been with over 100 men.” Bloody comical. Women, as much as we ϐ ǡ man’s world. From walking to leave a bar and getting grabbed by a complete stranger, to voicing a valid opinion and being cut off mid-sentence — James Brown captured it best. And as a woman, you’re neither safe at home or in public spaces because you should always be aware of the possibility of sexual violence. So I would have to disagree that women are “garbage writers,” and bank on the concept that this age of men can be deeply misogynistic whilst competing with female writers — especially when there are female writers busy winning Pulitzer
Prizes. Let us not forget the writings of the Bronte sisters, who used pseudonyms to hide their gender and whose writing is still admired today: “Averse to personal publicity, we veiled our own names under those of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell; the ambiguous choice being dictated by a sort of conscientious scruple at assuming Christian names positively masculine, while we did not like to declare ourselves women, because — without at that time suspecting that our mode of writing and thinking was not what is called 'feminine' — we had a vague impression that authoresses are liable to be looked on with prejudice . . . [quoted from the Norton edition of Wuthering Heights, p. 4]."

Frederick Ogilvie Loft was the creator of an alliance of Indian (Onkwehonwe) Nations from across the country, known as the League of Indians, which eventually morphed into the Assembly of First Nations of today.

As it turns out, Rope’s great-great-grandfather was Lieutenant Frederick Ogilvie Loft, who served in the Canadian forces during WWI in the Forestry Service, an extremely important service in Europe when war broke
out on the Western Front. Shipping of raw building materials and tools for the war effort was being curtailed by the German navy’s sinking of supply ships bound for Britain and the front.

Indigenous women coerced into sterilizations across Canada: senator CANADIAN PRESS editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA – When she was 17 years old, Liz was coerced by a Children's Aid worker into having an abortion and being sterilized at a northwestern Ontario hospital, she says - an experience she's carried for 40 years. ``It was a matter of me almost (being) cornered, if you will, by my worker at the time saying, 'You better have an abortion because if you don't, either way, we are going to take that child from you','' Liz says. New research shows the forced sterilization of Indigenous women is not just a shameful part of Canadian history. Reports from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the territories suggest it is still happening. Tubal ligations carried out on unwilling Indigenous women is one of the ``most heinous'' practices
in health care happening across Canada, says Yvonne Boyer, a Metis lawyer and former nurse who is now a senator for Ontario. Š‡ ™ƒ• Ď?‹”•– …‘Â?–ƒ…–‡† by Liz (who asked not to have her last name published, so she could talk freely about something so personal) in 2017 after a news story detailed research Boyer produced with Metis physician and researcher Dr. Judith Bartlett. Their report detailed how Indigenous women were coerced into tubal ligations _ the severing, burning or tying of the Fallopian tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus _ after childbirth in the Saskatoon Health Region. Boyer now wants the Senate to study the scope of the issue nationally, making it the focus of her Ď?‹”•– ƒ††”‡•• –‘ –Š‡ —’’‡” chamber. ``If it's happened in Saskatoon, it has happened in Regina, it's happened in Winnipeg, it's happened
where there's a high population of Indigenous women,'' Boyer says in an interview. ``I've had many women contact me from across the country and ask me for help.'' Some Indigenous women interviewed for the report also felt pushed into signing consent forms for the procedures while they were in active labour or on operating tables, Boyer says, noting a class-action lawsuit against the Saskatoon Health Region was launched in 2017 by two of the affected women. Each claimed $7 million in damages. Now about 60 women are part of the lawsuit, she adds. ``If there are 60 women just in the Saskatoon area, there are many more that haven't come forward in that area and there are many more that wanted to come forward but were too traumatized to,'' Boyer says. ``There's many more that have buried those memories.'' Alisa Lombard, an associate with Maurice
Ī Ě´ ƒ Ď?‹”Â? Ž‡ƒ†‹Â?‰ –Š‡ proposed class action _ says women from outside Saskatoon Health Region have also reported being sterilized without proper and informed consent. She says she's heard from others in Saskatchewan as well as Manitoba, Ontario and Alberta. Records and research show the practice was prevalent in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut as well, she adds. ‘Â?„ƒ”† •ƒ›• Š‡” Ď?‹”Â? will raise the issue of coerced sterilizations of Indigenous women at the UN Committee Against Torture this month. In its submission to the committee, Lombard's Ď?‹”Â? …ƒŽŽ• ‘—– ’”‘˜‹Â?…‹ƒŽ and federal authorities for not investigating and punishing those responsible for the practice despite having received ``numerous reports of numerous cases of forced sterilization.''
– ƒŽ•‘ ‘—–Ž‹Â?‡• •’‡…‹Ď?‹… steps to combat the practice, including criminal-
izing forced sterilization through the Criminal Code and having Health Canada issue guidance to health professionals regarding sterilization procedures. ``I think any and all attention brought to such egregious human-rights breaches is not only necessary, but it ought to be expected,'' Lombard says. ``I think upon any kind of inkling that something this terrible is happening, that it is reported and the fact it is reported by so many women ... I think our governments have an obligation to look into it †‡‡’Ž› ƒÂ?† –‘ Ď?‹š ‹–ǥ Â?‘•–Ž› importantly.'' Canada must ensure the practice stops, says Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott, with policies, education and awareness-raising. ``The issue of forced sterilization of vulnerable people, including Indigenous women, is a very serious violation of human rights,'' she says, noting it has gone on in Canada for a long time.
She also calls what happened to Liz ``absolutely appalling and reprehensible.'' ``The story that you're telling where not only was apprehension being threatened ... that she was forced into not only giving up the baby she was carrying but give up her future unborn children, is frankly a horrifying concept,'' Philpott says. Liz remains haunted by what has stolen from her. Sometimes she hears her baby in her sleep. ``I've had a few dreams ... where you could hear a baby crying or you could have a sense of a baby,'' •Š‡ •ƒ›•Ǥ ĆŽĆŽ Š‡ Ď?‹”•– –‹Â?‡ I had it I didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. And then another time I had it, it was a boy.'' She says it took years before she understood that what happened wasn't her fault. ``You say to yourself, 'I deserve this, this is my •ƒ…”‹Ď?‹…‡ǥ –Š‹• ‹• Â?› …”‘•• to bear'.''

'We have to build some trust here': legalizing cannabis sales on Mohawk territory (Cannabis-First-Nations) CANADIAN PRESS editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
MONTREAL - For the Mohawk territory of Kahnawake, cannabis legalization is an opportunity to correct the mistakes of the past regarding tobacco. Smoke shacks selling tax-free cigarettes are pervasive in the community across the St. Lawrence River from Montreal, and their owners have no obligation to give money back to citizens, says Joe Delaronde, spokesman for the Mohawk Council. The federal government was part of the problem, he explained, ``giving tobacco licences willy-nilly.'' ``People became very frustrated with that over time,'' Delaronde added. ``And even though some people gave back _ some just pocketed (all the revenue).'' But while lucrative tobacco shops abound in Kahnawake, selling, distributing or manufacturing cannabis on the territory remains illegal.

Kahnawake is currently drafting its own cannabis legislation and taking its time to make sure citizens' concerns are heard, said Delaronde. ``We have to build some trust here,'' he explained. ``We need our own laws to make sure we have control over the situation.'' Opinion in Kahnawake on legalizing cannabis sales is split.

The council recently released results of an opinion polls that surveyed 425 people in the community, 55 per cent of whom either ``agreed or strongly agreed'' with allowing the legal sale of cannabis on the territory.

of rules and regulations to compliment the law, ϐ legislation only enters into force much later. The council is also still working out if and how the community will impose a ``royalty'' on cannabis sales _ or to tax non-Indigenous people who come into the community to buy the product. Delaronde says charging a royalty could ensure cannabis is not cheaper on the territory than in the rest of the province. ``If the price is lower in Kahnawake are we encouraging our young people to smoke more?'' Delaronde asked. The legal process Kahnawake is going through to legalize cannabis sales is highlighting a tension between the federal, provincial, and First Nations governments regarding ϐ over the drug. Ottawa legalized cannabis on Oct. 17 and left it up to the provinces to draft laws regulating the sale of the product on their territory. Quebec, for instance, bans all cannabis sales outside its government-run stores.
Kahnawake, however, is located within Quebec, but its leaders are drafting a law that would create the community's own sales and production network. In other Mohawk communities, such as Kanesatake, just north of Montreal, the increasing number of cannabis dispensaries is causing tension between shop operators, the band council and the police. While in Akwesasne, a Mohawk community that straddles the Quebec, Ontario and New York state borders, its council passed what it called ``interim'' cannabis legislation on Oct. 17. Until Akwesasne passes ϐ ǡ the territory wishing to ``produce, sell or distribute cannabis must be licensed to do so'' by the council. Quebec's Health Department said in a statement that the province's law allows First Nations communities to ``enter into agreements'' with the province regarding cannabis legislation. ``No agreement has so far been signed,'' the statement to The Canadian Press read. And while First Nations councils are asserting jurisdiction over their territories, they are facing the reality that cannabis production is complex and many communities _ at least for the moment _ need help. Ghislain Picard, regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador, said his organization unanimously adopted a resolution stating the federal and provincial governments will not dictate laws about cannabis on their territories. ``But that being said, (the resolution) is not quite wishful thinking _ but it's not far from that either,'' Picard said in an
interview. ``Because the capacity (to regulate cannabis) is not necessarily there yet.'' Kahnawake's cannabis bill, for instance, is relying partly on the federal cannabis framework, and requires anyone seeking to produce marijuana on the territory to obtain a licence from Health Canada as well as the Mohawk council. ``Do we have expertise to ensure that the product is safe?'' Delaronde asked. ``No, we don't. So, in order to do this properly there is no choice in the matter but to follow the guidelines and laws and parameters of what's out there. ``Safety and health are paramount.'' But that doesn't mean the Mohawks of Kahnawake aren't interested in eventually developing the capacity to regulate cannabis entirely on their own. ``At some point,'' Delaronde said, ``we aren't closing the door.'' The council has already signed a non-binding agreement with Canopy Growth Corp. that would see the First Nation host a 4,650-square-metre cannabis production facility, plus a processing and packaging space nearly half that size, in partnership with Canada's largest cannabis company. But despite the poten ϐ revenues and economic growth from the cannabis industry, Kahnawake wants to make sure this time around, cannabis doesn't go the way of tobacco. ``Once the (tobacco) genie left the bottle it was too late to do anything about it,'' Delaronde said. ``Now we are getting ahead of the game on (cannabis). The vast majority of the people here want it regulated.''

'Deliberate destruction:' Alberta judge concerned about Indigenous justice CANADIAN PRESS editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
MEDICINE HAT, Alta. – An Alberta judge faced with sentencing a woman for manslaughter last summer expressed concern about how people of Indigenous descent are treated in the courts. Court of Queen's Bench Justice James Langston sentenced Barbara Elizabeth ϐ years in prison. His written decision was released Thursday. ``This is an Aboriginal offender. She is in a system which is imposed upon Aboriginal people and I use that word deliberately,'' Langston wrote. ``Our history, in relation to Aboriginal people, is one of deliberate destruction. We have systematically destroyed their culture, their way of living. We have done everything we can to take from them their sense of spirituality and identity.'' Holmes had been charged with second-de-
gree murder for fatally stabbing her husband John in 2016, but pleaded guilty to manslaughter. The Crown was seeking a sentence of eight years, while the defence asked for ϐ Ǥ Langston said he understands courts must follow the rules, but suggested they are part of a ``system that has overrun Aboriginal people'' and been in place for so long they expect that kind of treatment. ``I am not trying to be a philosopher, but it is time that we recognized ... what we have done to Aboriginal peoples,'' he wrote. ``And we should attempt through any means that we can, to re-establish and assist in re-establishing the culture, which worked quite well before we got here.'' Almost 20 years ago, the Supreme Court laid out principles in what has come to be known as the Gladue decision. It directs judges to consider alternative sentencing for Indigenous offenders and to take into account their backgrounds ϐ
systemic factors. ``So how many years is appropriate for this woman to stay in jail, to stay isolated, locked up, away from her family, away from her community, away from the support mechanisms which we all recognize would be advantageous to her?'' Langston wrote about Holmes's sentencing. ``This was a singular, aberrance, inexcusable, unexplainable act, but yet we will send this woman to jail to deter others who ϐ inexcusable, unexplained situation.'' Langston said he took into account that Holmes had no previous criminal record and that her mother, who was Indigenous, had been severely affected by her time in residential schools. ϐ factored in credit for time served. ``I think there is great value in this woman being able to reconnect and connect more fully with her heritage,'' he ruled.

Attempt to appeal '60s Scoop settlement tossed for 'extreme' lack of evidence CANADIAN PRESS editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO - A last-ditch effort to challenge the court-approved settlement of the '60s Scoop class action failed Friday when a judge tossed the novel attempt as lacking any substance. In his decision, Judge John Laskin of the Federal Court of Appeal said the applicants had provided no support for their highly unusual motion seeking leave to appeal the settlement. ƮƮ ϐ the applicants is inadequate in the extreme,'' Laskin wrote. The ruling, barring any further court machinations, paves the way for implementation of the $750-million class-action settlement. The federal government had said it could not proceed with payouts to ϐ the court proceedings. The request to appeal ϐ
over the summer rather than opt out _ fewer than a dozen class members did so _ came from a group of 11 claimants who said they were Scoop victims, although two of the plaintiffs subsequently dropped out of the proceeding. ϐ ϐ that had been shut out of the $75 million in legal fees agreed to as part of the class-action settlement. Among other things, they alleged they were excluded from the process that led to court approval of the agreement that would pay survivors as much as $50,000 a piece for the harms done when they, as children, were taken from their Indigenous families and placed with non-Indigenous ones. They also expressed unhappiness over the fees awarded to the lawyers who negotiated the deal. Laskin noted the applicants had failed to show they were survivors of the '60s Scoop and therefore members of the class. Nor
did they provide evidence that an appeal of the settlement would be in the best interests of survivors, he said. One of the applicants, Joan Frame, of Hamilton, had alleged to The Canadian Press that the lawyers who negotiated the settlement _ some of whom worked on the case for free for the better part of a decade _ ``resorted to trickery'' to get the agreement. ``To allow people to win illegally and make money off our backs and suffering again should not be allowed to happen,'' Frame had said. Laskin also took issue with such assertions, saying the applicants had offered no evidence in support. While it is normal in litigation for the losing party to be on the hook for the legal costs incurred by the winners, the winning lawyers are seeking costs personally from the lawyer ϐ motion given the serious misconduct allegations he made against them.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – As a girl, Debra Haaland remembers joining her grandmother as she chopped wood and fetched water for her home in tiny Mesita, a Native American community situated in New Mexico's high desert. Haaland, an enrolled Laguna Pueblo member, is certain it was these early experiences and the example of her grandmother's work ethic that helped her win a seat in the U.S. House Representatives on Tuesday _ a political victory that until this year had been beyond reach for numerous Native American women. Her fellow Democrat Sharice Davids, who is Ho-Chunk, also won her historic bid to represent a U.S. House district in Kansas. Their wins add them to a record number of women elected to the U.S. House on Tuesday following an election cycle that also •ƒ™ ƒ •‹‰Â?‹Ď?‹…ƒÂ?– „‘‘•– ‹Â? Native American female candidates at the state and local level. In an interview, Haaland, a former New Mexico Democratic Party chairwoman, credited a vast political network she built after nearly 20 years of working on other candidates' campaigns, her team and volunteers, and her own hard work. ``My grandmother worked really hard; she expected us to work hard,'' Haaland said. ``I mean that in and of itself is what really sustained me. It's my work ethic.'' Haaland, who is 57, will replace U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat who ran successfully for governor this year. Her district covers Albuquerque, and a handful of rural communities that include tribal communities. Davids' district, meanwhile, lies in the suburbs west of Kansas City. She unseated U.S. Rep.

The two women will join U.S. Reps. Tom Cole, who is Chickasaw, and Markwayne Mullin, an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation, in the House. Cole and Mullin are Republicans, representing districts in Oklahoma. Haaland and Davids' wins marked an emotional high point for Kalyn Free, a citizen of the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma and former district attorney in southeastern Oklahoma, who has been part of a decades-long push to get Native American women elected to Congress. ``l always say little Indian boys and little Indian girls cannot be what they cannot see,'' Free said. ``Now, there are going to be two male Republicans and two very outspoken two talented, Indian Democrat women who are going to be there as well.'' She recalled donating to the 1992 congressional campaign of Ada Deer, a Menominee woman who ran as a Democrat for a seat in Wisconsin. Twelve years later, Free herself ran for Congress in Oklahoma

Tsilhqot'in and Ottawa to sign financial deal as part of new relationship: chief CANADIAN PRESS editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. _ The leader of Canada's ϐ win title to its territory says an updated agreement it's negotiating with the federal government is part of a new model of relations between Ottawa and First Nations. Chief Joe Alphonse, tribal council chairman for the Tsilhqot'in National Government, said the agreement is due to be signed by spring, and ϐ relationship between Canada and the six First Nations his council represents in British Columbia's central Interior. Alphonse said previous funding models, which he described as ``marginal,'' no longer apply now that the Tsilhqot'in's title land claims have been formally recognized by the courts. ``We have proven rights and we have proven title so that funding formula is not suited for Tsilhqot'in. Canada has to come up with a new formula. And whatever we do develop will be a new standard for First Nations all across the country, so it's really essential for this government to establish that and show some leadership and demonstrate good will,'' he said. Alphonse said negotiations are just beginning and could not put a price tag on the value of the agreement, but said it will be subject to approval by
the federal treasury board. The agreement will be ϐ the relationship between Canada and the Tsilhqot'in, he said. The Supreme Court of Canada recognized Aboriginal title rights for ϐ history in the homeland of the Tsilhqot'in people in 2014. It covers more than 1,750 square kilometres of land in the Chilcotin region. While the Crown historically acquired land from many First Nations across the country by signing treaties, only 14 treaties on Vancouver Island had been signed by the time B.C. joined Confederation in 1871, and aboriginal title to the rest of the province was left unresolved. The process for negotiating aboriginal land rights was established in 1992 by agreement of the province, the federal government and the First Nations Summit. Some First Nations are in the process of negotiating modern-day treaties, but the Tsilhqot'in did not have a treaty when it won the landmark case. The BC Treaty Commission, which is an independent body responsible for facilitating treaty negotiations, says Canadian courts have repeatedly recommended negotiation over litigation, which is says does not involve consensus. ``Litigation is costly, generally narrowly focused, time consuming and ultimately leaves the
question of how aboriginal rights and title apply _ unanswered,'' it says on its website. The Tsilhqot'in case illustrates that while treaty negotiations process takes time, the litigation process has not proven to be a faster route to reconciliation, it says. However, in January 2017, the six chiefs comprising the Tsilhqot'in tribal council signed a memorandum of understanding with the federal government outlining a shared vision for the reconciliation agreement. Priority areas in the agreement include closing the ``profound gaps'' in education, health and mental health care, housing, infrastructure and access to clean water; ϐ relationships based on stable, predictable and ϐ Ǣ ognizing and implementing Tsilhqot'in governance and law. Last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the nation's title lands in the Nemaiah Valley, about three hours west of Williams Lake, B.C., to apologize directly to community members for the hangings of six Tsilhqot'in chiefs more than 150 years ago. ``I know this is just a start, there is still a lot more work ahead of us,'' he told the crowd that gathered for the apology. ``Canada is fully committed to recognize the Tsilhqot'in and its right to governance and self-determination. As I have told
your chiefs, we are determined to work toward a more comprehensive governance agreement by spring 2019 to support you on your path to self-determination.'' During the ceremony, Trudeau signed a ``Pathways Agreement,'' which Alphonse said included short-term funding for some housing on the title lands and outlined a commitment to work on longer term funding. ``One of the biggest issues in our community right now is the housing crisis. I have 140 homes in my community and probably about 60 per cent of my population lives off reserve, a lot of whom want to come home,'' Alphonse said. Alphonse said it was important for Trudeau to drive through the title lands and see the conditions that some residents are living in. The ̵ ϐ in court for title so that it could separate from Canada, he said, but so that it could have a more formalized relationship with it that also recognizes the nation's authority. ``The big fear that signing agreements and strengthening relationships with Indigenous people is weakening this country, I think that that's backward thinking. By developing partnerships with us on a nation-to-nation way, we can pursue projects together in an honourable way and actually allow Canada to grow in a way that it's never seen,'' he said.

NORFOLK COUNTY — OPP are urging parents to talk to their teen children after sexually explicit photos of a 13 year old girl were posted to social media. Police say the girl met a 16 year old male online and began to correspond. During the course of that relationship the male asked the girl for nude photos which she eventually sent. The girls parents saw the photos and contacted police.
OPP say there has been a marked increase in the number of reports involving youth sending and requesting sexually explicit images or videos over the internet or text messaging. Police say this kind of peer exploitation can have long and short term dangers - including criminal charges. Parents are encouraged to have honest and frank discussions with their kids about what selfpeer exploitation is, and explain that the images can often end up somewhere they may not want them to be.

Environmental Assessment to Increase the Biggars Lane Landfill Disposal Capacity to Meet County’s Disposal Requirements to Year 2050
The Project: The County of Brant (County) has undertaken an environmental assessment (EA) under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) to secure additional solid waste disposal capacity within the County of Brant, based on the approved Terms of Reference (TOR) and conditions of approval for the undertaking. The County is seeking EAA approval to increase the Biggars Lane Landfill disposal capacity to meet the County’s disposal requirements to the year 2050. Biggars Lane Landfill is located in the County of Brant, Ontario, as shown below:
The Process: In May 2015, the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) (now Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP)) approved the TOR for additional solid waste disposal capacity through expansion of the Biggars Lane Landfill. The approved TOR outlined the County’s framework and work plan for fulfilling the EAA requirements during the preparation of the EA. The County has reviewed options to manage solid waste over the next 30 years. The preferred method of landfill expansion is to implement a separate footprint area of 14.3 ha to the west of the existing landfill footprint with an engineered base (liner) for containment. The Draft EA Report has been sent to the MECP for review before final submission and is also at this time made available for public review. Information on this project is available at: http://www.brant.ca/en/explore-our-services/Solid-Waste-Environmental-Assessment.asp Consultation: Members of the public, agencies and other interested persons are encouraged to review the Draft EA Report and submit comments regarding the report’s findings.

ANCHORAGE – President Donald Trump exceeded his power when he signed an executive order reversing a ban on offshore drilling in vast parts of the Arctic Ocean and dozens of underwater canyons in the Atlantic Ocean, an attorney argued in federal court on Friday. Erik Grafe, an Alaska-based attorney for the environmental group Earthjustice, said Trump acted without the authority of Congress or the Constitution when he reversed President Barack Obama's drilling ban. Grafe, the lead attorney in a lawsuit backed by nearly a dozen environmental groups, contends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act only allows presidents to remove lands under consideration for development, not add them back in. Only Congress has that authority, he said. ``President Trump has
attempted unilaterally to undo protections that President Obama put in place. And our argument is that that action is unlawful because he lacks constitutional authority and he lacks authority from Congress,'' Grafe told reporters outside the courtroom in U.S. District Court in Anchorage. Acting Assistant U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Wood countered that Grafe and others were misinterpreting the intent of the law, written in 1953. He said it is meant to be ϐ not intended to bind one president with decisions made by the previous one when determining offshore stewardship as needs and realities change over time. He said the plaintiffs were ``simply wrong.'' The U.S. Department of Justice declined to make Wood available for comment following the hearing. In the government's response to the lawsuit, it said only allowing presidents to take land out of consideration for develop-
ment ``is one-way ratchet that broadly authorizes any one President to limit the national potential for leasing, exploration, and development in the OCS for all time while simultaneously tying the hands of that same President and all future presidents, even if those limits prove unwise or contrary to the critical national priorities that OCSLA advances, including energy development and national security.'' The drilling ban was a key part of former Obama's environmental legacy. The ban was intended to protect polar bears, walrus, ice seals and Alaska Native villages that depend on the animals. In 2015, Obama halted exploration in coastal areas of the Beaufort and Chukchi seas and the Hanna Shoal, an important area for walrus. In late December 2016, he withdrew most other potential Arctic Ocean lease areas - about 98 per cent of the Arctic outer continental shelf. Trump reversed the bans in April 2017.

'Huge milestone:' Ceremony marks land deal for Lubicon Lake First Nation CANADIAN PRESS editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
LITTLE BUFFALO, Alta. – Their story of poverty and neglect went from northern Alberta to the world and on Tuesday decades of determination paid off when the Lubicon Lake Cree signed a long-awaited treaty with Canada. Band member Denise Ominayak could hardly believe it. ``I'm excited, I'm happy, but I'm still asking myself, 'Is this really happening?''' Ominayak was one of dozens of band members who crowded into the tiny school gym in Little Buffalo as federal, provincial ϐ a deal expected to change everything in the community of about 640. ``This is a huge milestone for us,'' said Lubicon Lake First Nation Chief Billy-Joe Laboucan. ``Whatever we're doing here today impacts all of the children going to school here and all the

children yet to be born.'' The Lubicons were missed during Treaty 8 negotiations in the late 1800s and had been ϐ their own since the 1930s. Their struggle and the abject conditions they were living in eventually gained international attention. Half the band's homes still have no running water. Many are mouldy.
Others are overcrowded. Ominayak said she left Little Buffalo in 1989 when her then-one-yearold son developed fevers and rashes that she attributes to bad housing. ``There's a lot of people here that still live in homes where they have to go outside to go to the bathroom,'' she said. That may change. Signing on to Treaty 8

comes with 246 square kilometres of land and $113 million in federal and provincial funds. The list of upgrades the money will pay for is long. The band anticipates more than 140 new homes, a new school, new ϐ ǡ health centre, a community hall with indoor rink, 12 kilometres of road ϐ Ǧ
link. ``Lubicon Lake has waited far too long for their land claim,'' said Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, who remembers discussing the band's plight around the dinner table as a girl with her father, former Alberta NDP leader Grant Notley. ``I thought about how kids from Lubicon Lake my own age must have felt knowing ? such a basic and obvious justice had been denied them.'' The Lubicon issue resurfaced in the 1970s, when oil and gas companies began carving through local traplines. By then, the Lubicon were so poor that diseases such as tuberculosis were problems. The Lubicon gained a global podium when they held a protest at the 1988 Calgary Olympics and blockaded roads into what they called their land. The United Nations and Amnesty International criticized Canada for its treatment of the band. A provisional deal
was signed in 1988 with then-premier Don Getty, but it was never implemented. It formed the basis for today's deal. ƮƮ ϐ almost a talisman of what ϐ rights was and meant, not only to Canada, but to the world,'' said Carolyn Bennett, federal minister of Crown-Indigenous relations. Not everyone supports the deal. Bernard Ominayak, the chief who led the Lubicon through some of their stormiest protests, did not attend Tuesday's ceremony. Laboucan thanked the former chief, but said it's time to move forward. ``The past, that's over,'' he said. Denise Ominayak, attracted by how things are looking up, moved back ϐ ago. ``I've seen the community drastically change,'' she said. ``It's a huge thing for the whole community. ``I'm just thankful and proud.''

ϐ Ǥ The stretch of deep, sticky mud, blood, bodies and body parts littering the no-mans-land between Allied trenches and those of the German army made even walking a step a chore. The trenches had become cess pools of disease and discomfort for months. More died of disease on both sides than were actually killed in battle. The need for wooden planks and beams was great, to create some ϐ on within these horrible trench conditions, as well as for building rudimentary underground barracks and war-rooms to plan strategies from. It was all supplied by the “Sawdust Fusileers”, and without it, a person could easily be swallowed
up in a death pool of mud and squaller, never to be seen again. Lining the trenches and tunnels required massive amounts of materials as well. Every tree within a reasonable distance of the trenches was used up or reduced to riddled stumps by the incessant storm of lead going in both directions. One-hundred years after the war, military archaeologists and local relic hunters are still ϐ honey-come almost all of France. Today, the work of Loft and the other “Sawdust Fusiliers” usually goes unnoticed, but certainly not to the veterans of the “Great War” themselves. They knew all too well that without them, the horrors of the tenches would have been far
worse. Loft did a lot of recruiting work amongst the men of Six Nations and New Credit area, in advance of the war and during it. He also worked for a time as a reporter for the Brantford Expositor and the Toronto Globe and Mail. His Mohawk name ϐ ǡ strong and handsome Frederick Loft well. His given Clan name was Onondeyoh: which means, “Beautiful Mountain.” Rope Loft has a lot to be proud of. Although records of Indigenous soldiers in WWI are incomplete and were not well recorded, he has made ϐ as much as he can about the life and times of his great-great-grandfather, Lieutenant Frederick Ogilvie Loft, activist and “Sawdust Fusilier.”

TORONTO — Ontario’s only outlet for legal recreational cannabis has eliminated its backlog on orders and says it is``back on track'' when it comes to deliveries.

Becoming a transport driver is easier than you may think JIM WINDLE jim@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — Ever thought of a career in trucking? There are jobs waiting for anyone who loves the road, and especially now when major department stores and mom and pop shops are beginning to sell their products on-line these days. Someone has to transport these goods, fast and directly. A well tuned transportation system can mean the difference between the success and failure of big and small businesses alike. It’s always a matter of supply and demand. Can a customer buy a widget on-line and have it at their door in a couple of days? That happens
because of truck drivers. The paradigm shift in shopping has produced a serious shortage of drivers across the country, and it pays well. Canada’s trucking and logistics industry is growing. It is hard to overstate the critical importance of the industry to Canada’s economy. Yet, shortages in key occupations such as drivers and mechanics put this industry at risk. Recent research based on forecasts from the Conference Board of Canada estimate that a driver supply and demand gap of 34,000 by 2024. In addition, many employers expect shortages for other key occupations – including dispatchers, senior managers, technicians, mechanics and more. The implementation of
successful recruitment and retention strategies is more important than ever. Yet, the fastest growing demographic in the country, Indigenous peoples, are largely under-represented across all occupations within the trucking and logistics industry. ϐ cant untapped labour in the industry, and employers who have implemented diversity and inclusion recruitment initiatives are ϐ Ǥ Indigenous Peoples comprise three groups: Inuit, Métis and First Nations. Of Canada’s 1.5 million Indigenous peoples, 46% are under the age of 24, and more than half live in cities. Trucking HR Canada engaged with Indigenous communities and interviewed trucking
and logistics employers to better understand their perspective on the industry and the opportunities that exist for recruitment and retention. After Phil Sault, now pastor of Chiefswood Christian Fellowship, Six Nations Indian Reservation, recently retired from the road, doesn’t know how many miles he may have travelled in his 50+ years driving for various ϐ Ǥ Now 72, Sault still has a love for the road and admits to missing it sometimes. He was 16, when he quit school and he needed a job to sustain himself. After joining a construction crew, he eventually leaned how to drive the big rigs and he had been occupying the cab of a truck for the next half century.
You may be surprised to find out that "Doctor" Phil Sault was not actually a medical Doctor but had a trucking career before retirement. He says that trucking was a "great experience." PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE
“It’s been a great experience,” says Sault. “You get to see the country, develop friends — in my day it was on the C.B. radio — it really was fun, for the most part. The only boss you really had was your wrist watch, getting the load to the customer
safe and on time.” He admits, however, that sometimes the days and hours away are hard on a family. He suggests one’s life partner should be in on the decision to become a driver, but once the balance has been found, it can work out, as millions of trucker families have found. Becoming a transport driver is easier than you may think, for both men and women. In many cases, to qualify for a position as a driver, you must have a Valid Class 1 license, a minimum three years driving experience, and a clean drivers abstract. There are many employers that offer training classes and hands on experience as well. Think about it. It just might be the right job for you.

Port of Hamilton receives $17.7 million federal government investment to modernize port infrastructure STAFF REPORT editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
HAMILTON – Transport Minister Marc Garneau visited Hamilton to announce an investment of $17.7 million in the Port of Hamilton from the National Trade Corridors Fund (NTCF). The federal investment will be matched by the Hamilton Port Authority (HPA), in support of the port’s $35.45 million Westport Modernization Project. “Our government is investing in Canada’s economy by improving our trade and transportation corridors. We are supporting projects that ™‹ŽŽ ‡ˆĎ?‹…‹‡Â?–Ž› Â?‘˜‡ commercial goods to market and people to their destinations, stimulate economic growth, create quality middle-class jobs, and ensure that Canada’s transportation networks remain competitive and ‡ˆĎ?‹…‹‡Â?–Ǥdz ƒ‹† ‹Â?‹•–‡” Garneau. The HPA’s plan for Westport is to create a multi-modal transportation hub. Currently, ‘ˆĎ?‹…‹ƒŽ• •ƒ› Â?‘– ƒŽŽ ƒ”‡ƒ• of the Westport zone are accessible by rail from other areas of the port. The improvements will also help address the challenge that the port has been facing in recent years of not having enough development-ready parcels of land to meet the demand from potential port users. HPA expects to leverage today’s investments into $80-90 million in new business attraction. Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger said the investment is promising for growth in Hamilton’s transportation industry. “The Hamilton Port Authority is an important economic hub for our ambitious city. Our government recognizes this and I am proud of the investment announced today. It will encourage the creation of jobs and business opportunities in Hamilton and across Canada,â€? said Eisenberger. “Hamilton is proud of our port. The Westport modernization is closely aligned with the city’s
vision for the industrial north end. This project will increase employment, add to the municipal tax base, and green the transitional areas between the port and the surrounding neighbourhood. This investment is an example of how our port, federal government and city are working together to grow and diversify Hamilton’s economy now and for the future.â€? Westport is a 115-hectare area located at the west end of the Port of Hamilton. Among the oldest industrial employment areas in the City of Hamilton, the Port’s landholdings spanning Piers 10-15 were assembled piece-by-piece over many decades. The result is a collection of uses that are not space optimized, ™‹–Š ‹Â?•—ˆĎ?‹…‹‡Â?– Â?‘†ƒŽ connections (gaps in rail network/no road or rail service at some piers), with infrastructure that in some cases exceeds 100 years old. Ian Hamilton, President & CEO, Hamilton Port Authority said, “This investment recognizes what a critical trade gateway the Great Lakes are, in serving Canada’s most populated area, and the country’s industrial heartland. This project is important because the Port of Hamilton is virtually out of room to grow, yet has unmet demand from users who want to invest in trade-oriented business in Ontario. Improvements to the Westport area will optimize the port’s current footprint, create new development parcels, and help Canadian companies get their goods to global markets.â€? The Port of Hamilton is the largest port in Ontario and the primary marine gateway to the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Port of Hamilton is critical infrastructure for key Ontario industries, facilitating ‹Â?–‡”Â?ƒ–‹‘Â?ƒŽ –”ƒ†‡ Ď?Ž‘™• and supporting domestic supply chains. It is Southern Ontario’s largest gateway for overseas exports of Ontario-grown corn, wheat and soybeans, handling more than a million tonnes of exports per year. It is also the Largest
gateway for imports of crop inputs used in southern Ontario agricultural production and an essential infrastructure for raw material imports from the U.S. for iron ore and coal used in steelmaking. The port is also the export gateway for Ontario manufactured components and factory equipment and machinery and petrochemical products. Close to 10 million MT of marine cargo transits the port each year, more
than all other southern Ontario ports combined. This cargo has a value of $1.9 billion, with internationally-traded products representing more than half of that value total. In addition to marine cargo, the Port of Hamilton handles an increasing ƒÂ?‘—Â?– ‘ˆ ”ƒ‹Ž –”ƒˆĎ?‹…Ǥ Â? 2016, more than 6,000 rail cars transited the port, a number that has doubled ‹Â? –Š‡ Žƒ•– Ď?‹˜‡ ›‡ƒ”•Ǥ

A spoonful of sugar: Investigating the battle with diabetes chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
November is Diabetes Awareness Month and November 14 is World Diabetes Day. Diabetes is a chronic condition associated with abnormally high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Insulin produced by the pancreas lowers blood glucose but the absence or ϐ insulin, or an inability of the body to properly use insulin causes diabetes. Now, diabetes rates are 3-5 times higher in indigenous people. While indigenous people represent 4.3% of the population in Canada, we still have prevalence rates 3-5 times that of non-indigenous populations. So, when I was younger I used to love sitting with older people and listening to them talk. As we enter into a time where health problems are rampant within our people, I can recall one interaction that stuck with me. It was the time that I listened to my closest friends grandmother talk about how the sizes of food have changed over time. When she was young, she told us that there was one size of popcorn and one size of drink at the movie theatre. Soda and chocolate were both rare treats. Her grandparents and parents grew and canned their own whole foods for the winter. She also remarked that she hardly ever seen a person that was overweight. Today, she said, all of
these things are much different. But we can expect them to be. We live in a world where buying a salad costs three times as much as a McDouble. We live in a world where buying “no fat” foods seems like a step in the right direction, but the fats are replaced with loads of sugar instead. We live in a world where it’s cheaper to live off of a low-nutrient but high-calorie diet with many food choices stuffed with preservative chemicals. We also live in a world where majority of jobs require little to no physical exertion, but are high in stress. All of this rolled up in one is big burrito for physical un-wellness. And one of the main issues is the relationship that we as consumers have been educated to have with delicious sugar. Or should I say uneducated. With diabetes being a prevalent health implication that many of my own family members live with, there is also a lot of misinformation in the food industry surrounding sugar. If we don’t take a look at sugar for what it is; a soluble carbohydrate that is extremely hard on the heart, we like to look at fat as the unhealthy culprit instead. When in reality, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are good for you. So we blame fat due to the sugar industry pushing for fat to be dubbed unhealthy as sugar wishes to stay a booming industry. People with a high fat intake — about 35 percent of their daily diet — had a 23 percent lower risk of early death and 18 percent lower risk of stroke com-
pared to people who ate less fat, said lead author and investigator with the Population Health Research Institute at McMaster University in Ontario Mahshid Dehghan. "The study showed that contrary to popular belief, increased consumption of dietary fats is associated with a lower risk of death," said Deaghan. Fat has little direct effect on blood sugar levels as well. It is a major energy source for your body, and it helps you to absorb certain vitamins and nutrients. There are different types of fats; fats that should be avoided are generally trans and saturated fats, but all fats tend to be calorie dense. But in the context of the development of type 2 diabetes, cutting out fat and not sugar isn’t the answer. I have seen someone slice all of the fat off of a pork chop to later eat seven dates. Dates are full ϐ ǡ ǯ a healthy switch right? Wrong. Dates are commonly referred to as a healthy food for diabetics, but if you eat seven dates — that’s 126 grams of sugar going to your blood stream. That dose of sugar doesn’t in-
clude omega-3’s or protein at all. So what really helps to reduce your blood sugar is not eating sugar, but the food industry won't tell that simple truth because almost everything has unnecessary added sugar. You just have to be smart. The next thing that contributes to the relationship that we have with food
today also lies in expenses. We automatically assume that healthier versions of foods we love are more expensive, even if evidence has proven that they are not. This is easily done because many fast food restaurants, which mainly earn revenue by selling fast food, will overprice any “healthy” options. Those options
also tend to not exactly be healthy anyhow. In reality, whole foods tend to be inexpensive with constant sales in grocery stores to get the fresh stuff off of the shelves. Thus, being aware of what you’re eating and how much of it you’re ǡ ϐ in the right direction in preventing diabetes.

Stan Lee, the irreplaceable creative mind, leaves a legacy CHEZNEY MARTIN chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
The co-creator of Spider-Man, the Avengers, X-Men, the Hulk and the Fantastic Four passed away on Monday morning. Within his 95 years, Lee became the most famous comic book creator in the history of comic books as a writer and editor for Marvel Comics. His career began in 1941 at the age of 17, when he published ϐ prose story that appeared ϐ Captain America Comics. However, it was the 1960’s when he earned his reputation and offered pop-culture his history making creativity. Born Stanley Leiber, Lee opted to “save that name” for serious writing as he assumed that as a teenager, the comic books would be a brief stop and that he would later become a novelist and playwright in short order. Instead, his career in comics would continue for seven decades, leav-ing a legacy that will outlive many. His persona utilized huckster charm and he was enthusiastic about everything comic book re-lated — this made him an American pop culture icon and ambassador across the world. It be-came tradition for studios to give Lee cameo appearances in Marvel ϐ ǡ ϐ ances made in X-Men in 2000. Fans of his comics and characters thrive around the world, but a producer revealed that Lee had been working to bring a series that included an indigenous hero to fruition. Kevin Gillis, creator of the animated series “The Raccoons,” says as recently as a few years ago he was working with Lee on a live-action version of an unrealized comic book idea “very near and dear to his heart."
Icon Stan Lee has left a huge void in the entertainment world after PHOTO BY X his passing.
The show was called “Stan Lee’s The Chosen” and the concept revolved around an indigenous man that left his reserve to pursue a career as a Toronto ϐ Ǥ ǡ when the man’s father dies, he learns that he is next in line to be initiated as a shaman and has inherited powers from his ancestors. Through this series, Lee wanted the storyline to ϐ connection to his herit-age and contrast it with his life in the city, said Gillis. He ϐ of the man’s power. “Stan was very clear, ̵ ϐ ǡ he wanted him to have vulnerabilities. The one gift that he [had] was he could see things a few seconds before they happened,” Gillis added. Lee’s choice in actor for the role landed on Dog Creek Native Adam Beach. But even with Lee's reputation for building solid characters like Spider-Man, the Hulk and X-Men, bringing “The Chosen” to life was a struggle. It wasn't for a lack of trying on Lee's part either, added Gillis. ϐ so enthusiastic about “The Chosen” that he pulled out his tireless charm at every turn. One day he asked Gillis to borrow his iPad, and re-
corded a personal message to each Canadian TV executive saying “how important it was that he wanted to do this series before he died,” Gillis said. “I'd walk into the pitch meetings and before I got Stan on the phone I'd hand the iPad over to the executive.” While European broadcasters signed onto the idea, Gillis said getting the ϐ place didn't go as smoothly. Global TV in Canada told the pair it could only afford the budget if a U.S. broadcaster was on board too, but that never happened, Gillis said. The deal fell apart. ``We're still trying to get it made,” he said. The legacy of Stan Lee has been immortalized in nearly every way possible, if the series comes to fruition there will only be more to appreciate about the creative genius.
Adam Beach was to play a new character being developed by Lee before he died.

NOTICE OF STUDY UPDATE AND DETOUR ROUTES Highway 89 South Saugeen River Bridge Replacement Town of Minto and Municipality of West Grey Detail Design (GWP 3035-11-00) THE STUDY The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. to complete the detail design for replacement of the South Saugeen River Bridge on Highway 89 west of Mount Forest in the Town of Minto, Wellington County and the Municipality of West Grey in Grey County. Project correspondence sent in 2017 indicated that the improvements would begin in 2018 subject to approvals and was expected to be completed over three construction seasons. It was also indicated that Highway 89 would be detoured across a temporary bridge to be located on the north side of the existing structure. Based on a further review of the design, implementation costs and construction timing, it was determined that a temporary full closure of Highway 89 at the South Saugeen River Bridge is the preferred approach. The full closure allows for a shortened overall duration of construction (1.5 construction seasons), eliminates throw-away costs and impacts associated with staged construction and a temporary bridge and improves construction productivity and quality.
D
U
Detour routes shown on the map will be in place during the temporary closure of Highway 89 for approximately 6 months in 2019. Construction operations to be completed in 2020 will be relatively minor and will not require a full closure/detour of Highway 89. Property access will be maintained at all times during construction. It is anticipated that construction of the improvements will begin in the spring of 2019, subject to completion of the EA, funding, and approvals. Please note, as part of a separate MTO project, Highway 9 between Clifford and Harriston will be closed to through-traffic from May to October 2019 to allow for construction operations. The permitted closure time periods are limited to weekdays from Monday at 5 a.m. to Friday at 9 p.m. Outside those times, the highway will be open to through-traffic. During the closures of Highway 9, through-traffic will be detoured along the signed local detour route shown on the map. Access to businesses will be maintained at all times. Traffic management during construction will be coordinated between both contracts to mitigate delays to the travelling public. THE PROCESS Six Nations’ Lola Williams, 13-yea-old daughter of Skyler Williams, both with the Brant Boxing Club, recorded her first win in the ring after two disappointing decisions went against her in her two prePHOTO SUBMITTED vious fights this year.

Niagara Falls NY — Yet another Six Nations boxer is beginning to turn heads. Lola Williams, daughter of Six Nations’ amateur boxer Skyler Williams won an unanimous decision over and bigger opponent who outweighed Williams by 10 lbs. in Niagara Falls New York. But Williams’ great attitude and fast gloves earned her a unanimous decision. “Lola is amazing,” seemed her coach Bill Wil-
liams (no relations). “She is a work n progress, but I can tell that she can be one of Canada’s top up-and ϐ Ǥdz Although she has only been with the Brant Boxing Club for about two years, by the way she trains and works out, Williams believe she’s got the right stuff, so to speak. “She is going to be a force to be reckoned with,” says Williams. Last week, Lola showed the “stuff” against a bigger and more experienced ϐ Ǥ Williams caught her opponent with a sharp
blow in the second round that caused the referee to give her a standing eight count to regroup. It didn’t help as Williams came on strong to take the decision ϐ many, if William’s predictions are right. Her father Skyler is very excited about the win. Although he was not on the card that night, Skyler Williams is riding the wave of six wins in a row in the ring. He will next be competing in the Golden Gloves tournament in Niagara Falls, which runs between Nov. 29th and December 3rd.
