BREAD & CHEESE PARADE

OHSWEKEN — As the long weekend was enjoyed by all, the usual enjoyment of Bread and Cheese on Victoria Day on Six Nations was welcomed as a tradition to old and new on Monday, May 21.

The 2018 5-Pin Bowling Championships offered Charlottetown a unique experience to Special Olympics athletes from across Canada,” said Blair McIntosh, Vice President, Sport, Special Olympics Canada. “As one of Special Olympics Canada’s most popular sports, this competition offers athletes an opportunity to compete in a stand-alone National event for the sport.” This year over 200 bowlers competed in Charlottetown. Five-pin Bowling is one of the original Special Olympics sports and it also has the most registered athletes with 13,435 participants across Canada.

Lawn and Order Quick guide to a great summer garden Here are some tips to make your backyard stand out. Make a plan: It’s important to take into consideration the location you’ll be planting in and what you’ll be growing, as space and sunlight affect how your garden will thrive. Have some fun with it: The possibilities for pollinator-friendly flowers and plants are endless: lanced-leaved coreopsis, New England asters, dense blazing stars and so many more. A wide variety of wild flowers in your garden provides a wide selection of nutritious nectar and pollen sources for honey bees and other pollinators. More honey bees, please: Summertime is an important season for honey bees. Populations in Canada are now at an all-time high, but they need to spend the warm months finding nutritious food to help sustain their hives through winter. Keeping your garden abundant with blooming flowers means the honey bees and other pollinators will have food all summer long. Get the right stuff: Picking the appropriate pollinator-friendly flowers and plants for your garden can be tough. Bees Matter can help.

HDI Director publishes confusing theories EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW This week, HDI Director Hazel Hill published her HDI report to the Confederacy Council on the Haudenosaunee Confederacy’s website. What one would expect to be a boring detailed list of the things accomplished in the last month is actually a 16 page conspiracy laden and confusing rant that leaves the reader wondering if Hill has lost touch with reality. Hill’s rationale is bizarre as she goes into great detail to explain who is involved in a move to destroy the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and how they are doing it. Hill claims in her report that the opposition to HDI is a grand scheme to dethrone the HCCC “being orchestrated by NASA who over-see’s the space missions for Washington.” Hill then writes that NASA is “looking for an entry gate into the Upper Chamber where our ancestors remain, and where we came and where our loved ones return upon death - the Skyworld.” Now for those of you unfamiliar with Iroquois Cosmology and the Creation Story — let's just say this is hot garbage. Hill is not telling the truth and her take on HDI being held accountable for doing transactions without the consent of the Haudenosaunee peo-

ple is frightening. Hill writes that NASA stole something shiny from the moon during Neil Armstrong’s 1969 voyage — that rightly belongs to the Haudenosaunee and that Russia, China and the USA are fighting over that shiny thing. She says this is the reason HDI has been working to reclaim lands for the Confederacy. I *think* that is what she said. It is honestly so incoherent and disconnected it is hard to draw any conclusions except that Hill is no longer using a good mind. Hill further writes that the Haudenosaunee Council in the United States worked in cooperation with the Men’s Fire, Ottawa, the Six Nations Elected Council, Turtle Island News publisher Lynda Powless, the HCCC’s finance board, Justin Trudeau and lawyers of “the Crown” to place the HCCC under Domestic Sovereignty. Oh — and the Vatican. And the Pope with the help of Mohawk Chief Allan McNaughton. To quote the white girls — I literally can’t even. What should be gravely concerning to everyone involved, is that this is the person granted “the authority to bind the HCCC” in the Samsung agreements. Yes, those same agreements where

Hill and HCCC’s Secretary Jock Hill agreed to waive the application of sovereign immunity on Haudenosaunee traditional territory. Hill also takes a Trumpian position in her response to not responding to media. Hill writes that “Newspapers do not represent the interests of the Haudenosaunee but rather the interests of the particular paper and its owners personal viewpoint or agenda.’ To quote the Crees not even. It is the job of the media to press elected and appointed government officials, corporate leaders and public service employees for answers. It is our job to convey those answers to the public. And the public has a right to know what is being done on their behalf — especially given HDI’s previously showed the Haudenosaunee people there is a price for their sovereignty — about $30 bucks a head for all the Haudenosaunee people in the Dish with One Spoon Territory — but who’s counting?

A Canadian Constitution: Part 4

A six-part interview with R. Rogers Smith examining the formation of Canada The following is an excerpt from an interview by George Barr, KING’S Council, with R. Rogers Smith sometime in the mid 1940’s and on “Ligue pour l’Union Federale”, 822 Sherbrooke Est, Mtl. (Acquired from the Ka-NeeKa-Neet collection) Question s by G. H. Barr, King’s Council Answers by R. Rogers Smith

Mr. Barr: Just how is the Prime Minister of Canada appointed? Mr. Smith: The present incumbent is elected from prince Albert and receives an indemnity of $4,000.00 per year. After being called upon to form a government by the Governor General, he receives $15,000.00 per year as being the member of the King’s Privy Council for Canada, holding the recognized position of First Minister. Q: Who pays the $15,000.00? A: Canada pays that on the orders of the Governor General. (Salaries Act-cap. 186 Revised Statutes of Canada). Q: How are Provincial Legislature they constituted? A: The Legislature of the Province is composed of the Lieutenant Governor and Elected members. Q: How is the Lieutenant Governor appoint-

ed? A: The Lieutenant governor appointed solely by the Governor General. Q: Is he obliged to comply with any request or submit his suggestions or receive advice from elected representatives? A: No! As the Governor General was a “corporation sole” for the Central Legislature of Canada, the Lieutenant governor is equally a “corporation sole” in the legislature of each Province. His powers are to act as the representative of the Governor General and he has all powers necessary to carry on the government of the Province. There is, of course, no such thing as second Chamber or Senate in the Provinces except in the Province of Quebec where they have in addition to the Legislative Assembly a Legislative Council appointed by the Lieutenant Governor. Q: Consisting of how many members? A: I think it is 24. I would not be sure. Q: What functions do they exercise in Quebec? A: Much the same functions as the Senate exercises in Ottawa. PROVINCIAL CABINET OR GOVERNMENT:

Q: How is Provincial Cabinet constituted? A: The Cabinet of the

Province is constituted in much the same manner as is the Cabinet at Ottawa. Q: The Premier of the Province-he is appointed by whom? A: He is appointed to his position by the Lieutenant Governor and exercises the same functions within his jurisdiction as the Dominion Prime Minister within his. He must subscribe to an oath of office to the Lieutenant Governor before assuming such office. Q: Jurisdiction of the various Provinces-groups-committees-jurisdiction of the Governor General? A: We find these powers and authorities set forth in Letters Patent, the last of which were granted, as I have said before, to Earl Bessborough March 23rd., 1931. Canada Gazette, Oct. 12th., or 19th., of 1935. You will find there a proclamation issued by Sir Lyman P. Duff which tells you that he is acting as the Governor General of Canada and that he is to swear in the Governor General under letters Patent of June 15th., 1905. These had been revoked in 1931 by the Crown in Chancery under Letters Patent dated March 23rd., 1931. He can “do and execute, in due manner, all things that shall belong to his said office, and to the Trust We have reposed in him, according to the sever-

al powers and authorities granted or appointed him by virtue of “the British North America Act, 1867” and of these present Letters Patent and of such Commission as may be issued to him under Our Sign Manual and Signet, and according to such instructions and may from time to time be given to him under Our Sign manual and Signet and to such Laws as are or shall hereafter be in force in Our said Dominion”. He is authorized to use the Great Seal for sealing all things whatsoever that shall pass the said Great Seal. He has the appointment of all judges and justices of the peace. He can suspend or remove from office any person exercising any office within our said Dominion, under or by virtue of and Commission or Warrant which may be granted by Us in Our name or under Our authority. He can summon and dissolve the Dominion Parliament. He can appoint deputies of himself to exercise or administer any powers which he may have-or less powers if the Governor General so desires. He appoints all officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Harbour Commissioners, and any office in Our said Dominion. All these officers are required and commanded, both civil and military, and all of the inhabitants of Our said

Dominion to be obedient, to aid and assist Our said Governor General, or in the event of his death, incapacity or absence to obey such person or persons as may from time to time under the provisions of these Our Letters Patent administer the government of our said Dominion. (See Statutes of Canada (second session) 21-22 Geo. V Parts I-II, p. xix. Summing up—it will doubtless be conceded that it was not logical for the British to grant General James Murray less than a dictatorship if they held him responsible for the retention of the Colony of Canada as a possession. No dictatorship could be granted more inclusive of power than the constitution of the Colony of Quebec granted by the Board of Trade. Today, if we add the letters Patent granted to Earl Bessborough March 23rd., 1931; the Instructions issued by his Majesty; the Colonial Laws Validity Act of 1865, and the British North America Act 18671930 together and divide by commonsense, we get exactly the same mathematical quotient as we find in the constitution granted to Murray November 21st., 1763, published in Sessional Papers 18. DOMINION HOUSE OF COMMONS-CONSTITUTION AND JURISDICTION

The Constitution is settled by sections 37 to 57 of the British North America Act, 1867. These provide, in brief, the constitution of a House of 181 Members to be summoned, called together and prorogued from time to time by the Governor General. Q: What would you say, Mr. Smith, is the jurisdiction or authority of the House of Commons? A. Before answering your Question, I would like it to be understood that the House of Commons is constituted of a Speaker and a body of elected Members. The Speaker is appointed by the governor General and is one of the Presidents of the Parliament of Canada, the other being the Speaker of the Senate. The Rt. Hon. W. L. MacKenzie King is a Vice-President of the Parliament of Canada and the Leader of the Opposition also a Vice-President. There is no office of Prime Minister. Once only has the term “Prime Minister” been used in the statute. (See Debates in the House April 10th., 1935, Hansard. P. 2509). It may be said here that the House of Commons, together with the Senate and the King’s Privy Council for Canada, are an ancillary body to aid and advise the governor General in the government

Indigenous people are claiming their wellness - mind, body, heart and soul HEALTHY ROOTS - This year, the Healthy Roots initiative is looking at whole body health and asking the question: what can we do as indigenous people to have a healthy dominion over our bodies, minds and spirits to manifest whole self well-being? Over the next few weeks we will be talking with indigenous leaders in mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellness to address the whole person and empower our community with wisdom. We’ll also be issuing some community challenges with some great prizes so keep connected here in the Two Row Times for more details to come on that. Also as a part of our special programming, Two Row Times has also partnered as a sponsor of the Warrior Athletics Park youth program — leading kids through a ninja warrior style training program on Six Nations. We’ll be following the construction of the park, chatting with some of the trainers and connecting with the kids to find out what they are learning in their training. And as always we will put a focus on indigneous food security, making healthy food choices - and the importance of including healthy indigneous foods in your diet as often as possible. A very special thank you to the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation for supporting this initiative in helping the Two Row Times deliver health and well-being information to the community.

How compassion can triumph over toxic childhood trauma By Sheri Madigan & Nicole Racine

In a recent piece on the television show 60 Minutes, Oprah Winfrey discussed childhood trauma shining a public spotlight on the lasting effects of abuse and adversity in childhood. Oprah herself is a survivor of childhood abuse. Adverse childhood experiences, commonly called ACEs, include witnessing verbal or physical conflict between parents and having a parent with a mental illness or substance-abuse issue. They also include parent separation, divorce and incarceration and the experience of neglect or abuse (sexual, physical or emotional) as a child. ACEs are common. Approximately 60 per cent of the general population report experiencing at least one before the age of 18. More than eight per cent of the population report experiencing four or more ACEs. Research has consistently found that the more adverse childhood experiences a person has, the greater their risk for later health problems. Our research group investigates how ACEs affect women's physical and psychological health in pregnancy. We study how adversities are ``inherited'' or passed from parent to child, as well as how the risks of ACEs in pregnant women can be reduced. Our latest finding suggests that when mothers who have experienced ACEs feel supported by the people around them, their risk of having pregnancy complications is substantially reduced. In essence, feeling supported by friends and family can counteract the negative effects of having ACEs. From liver disease to early death Adverse childhood experiences

increase the risks of many health challenges later in life. These include mental health problems like depression, alcohol and drug abuse and suicide attempts. They also include health risk behaviours, such as smoking, sexually transmitted diseases and obesity, as well as diseases like heart, lung and liver disease. For example, an individual who has experienced four or more ACEs is four times more likely to experience a mental health problem than someone who has not. People with a high number of ACEs may even be at risk for early death. Toxic stress and the body When children are exposed to abuse and adversity, they experience heightened levels of stress without a strong support system to help them through these difficult experiences. This is often referred to as ``toxic stress.'' This stress is different from the tolerable types of stress that can help with development - such as learning to make new friends, going to a new school or taking a test. Experiencing high levels of toxic stress during abusive or traumatic experiences can alter how our brain and body process future experiences and stressful events. Toxic stress impacts how we think and learn. How does this happen? Toxic stress can cause excessive ``wear and tear'' on the body. It primes our system to be hyper-sensitive to stressors. This wear and tear builds up over time and can lead to both physical and mental health problems throughout our life. When adults become parents, the

effects that ACEs have had on their own body, mind and behaviour can influence how they experience their pregnancy and their pregnancy health. It can affect how they are able to interact with, and care for, their children. Babies with developmental delays In our work, we've shown that mothers who experience a higher number of ACEs are more likely to have gestational diabetes and hypertension. They are also more likely to deliver a baby who is born too small or too soon or needs intensive care. Even if the baby is born full term, children born to mothers with ACEs are at risk of developmental delay. For each additional maternal ACE, there is an 18 per cent increase in the risk that their child will be identified as delayed. Ultimately, we have found that the effects of adversity can be passed down from one generation to the next. However, with the right supports in place, our work also reveals that mothers can show remarkable resilience to adversity. Compassion is protective What helps promote resilience in the face of stress and adversity? How do we help families triumph over past experiences? For some, even just being aware of how past adversities and traumas can impact their current functioning, including physical and mental health, is an important first step. This can start the road to recovery. Some people may benefit from additional counselling and professional support to launch them into a brighter future. For others, it's the compassionate response they receive when they talk to someone about their early experiences. Oprah Winfrey and others have wisely encouraged people to replace saying ``what's wrong with you?'' with ``what happened to you?'' - to allow for a more compassionate and understanding approach to individual experiences, including trauma and adversity. Oprah describes her main protective factor from adversity as school, and pinpoints certain teachers who encouraged her intellectually and creatively. School and caring teachers helped her to feel valued and gave her a sense of belonging, helping heal the emotional wounds of abuse. How to foster resilience Supportive relationships are indeed a key ingredient for

change. Support from friends, family, spouses or neighbours can boost the quality and security of life for people. Community supports also matter. For example, our work suggests that when women participate in low-cost community programs and recreation, such as story time at the library, and when they can be encouraged to develop or engage in social support networks, their children do better. Investing in families with young children makes financial sense too. Strategies that help new parents develop supports and parenting skills have a particularly high return on investment improving outcomes for parents, children and their families and avoiding later, higher-cost interventions. Whether we have been affected by ACEs or not, we can all play a role in fostering resilience by being the buffering support to our friends, family members and neighbours. Using a trauma-informed approach to patient care, health professionals can also play a central role simply by supporting and listening to patients burdened by childhood adversity. The silver lining is that ACEs don't define who we are or who we can become. With supports, people who have endured ACEs can achieve emotional and physical well-being. It is compelling to realize that many people struggling with past adversity can identify support from teachers, neighbours, spouses and friends as instrumental in overcoming their adversities. Each and every one of us can help make a difference in someone's life.

The importance of sport and play for kids (NC) Whether your child participates in baseball, dance, soccer, golf or hockey, including sport and play in their lives is important. The lessons they learn can stay with them for the rest of their lives. Here are just some of the benefits of sport: Develop important life skills. Sport helps to teach children teamwork, leadership skills and the value of hard work. These are all important life skills that can be implemented in school and in their professional careers. Increase self-esteem. A recent study from The Sport Journal has linked playing sports to gaining self-esteem and confidence, two important qualities for children to have now and as they grow up. Encourage life-long physical activity. Registering your kids in sport at an early age will help foster a love of physical activity through to adulthood, leading to a healthier lifestyle. Create lasting friendships. Being part of a team gives kids the opportunity to travel, problem-solve, win, and lose alongside their peers. The resulting bond leads to lasting friendships.

2018 CKRZ Music Festival rocks the grounds

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The CKRZ FM Radio Station hosted the 2018 CKRZ Music Festival at the Six Nations Community Hall and Parks and Recreation on Sunday, May 20, which was quick to become a family favourite. The event hosted a car show, a home show, bouncy castles and of course — live music. The likes of Cale Crowe, Crown Lands, Mark LaForme, Dwayne LaForme, the Boogie Blues Band, Rez Dawgs, Joshua Miller, the Pappy Johns Band, and the Big Joe Blues Band were all MC’ed by Janet Rogers and Diane Kohoko to blend the spices of blues and rock together. Executive Director of CKRZ Kim Logan said that the community volunteers including the Redrum bike riders who served as security, helped to make the event as good as it was. “We had such an amazing response from the community, they wanted this just as much as we wanted to do it,” she said. “It was just an amazing response between community members inside and outside of the community that wanted to really be a part of it and liked what we wanted to do.” “We really couldn’t have done it if it wasn’t for all of those people that just said ‘yeah we’ll do it,’ or ‘let’s do it,’ or ‘here we go we’ll do this,’ and everything like that.” She explained that the staff hadn’t done something like this in years as the concept came from events that used to take place in the plaza a decade ago. “Approximately 10 years ago they used to do street dances, so that’s where this actually came from,” said Logan. “They would host street dances where they had the performers, and sometimes

they would have a stage but over the years they would just have it under the awning over there, and just have it out here in the whole Ohsweken Plaza.” But to make the event family friendly and as to not disturb the surrounding businesses and facilities, Logan knew that they would need a different venue. “We wanted it to be a fun family event, so for the moms, dads, and the kids, she said. “But we thought that with the way the community has grown, we had to think of some other options.” “We talked to Parks and Rec. and they welcomed us because they needed more attractions at the Bread and Cheese festival and we wanted to do something that would go back into the community.” And go back into the community it did, as she explained that the festival was partly an opportunity to thank the sponsors of CKRZ as well as the community. The ratio of vendors and activities were perfect for families and the music was enjoyable for all ages. But to keep with the family orientation, the event began at noon and finalized by 7 p.m.. Logan said that this time frame would also keep the festival from interfering with the other festivities such as the fireworks.

“We put it out there for all of the local musicians and we actually had to cut down the music list or we would have been out there until midnight,” she said. “But we had a really good turn out, and we got to have a mix of Six nations

artists and New Credit artist as well.” Their next event set to come is being dubbed “Art in the Park,” and Logan explained that both events are hoped to help CKRZ rebrand themselves and get out in the community.

Group of Six hosts art show at Everything Cornhusk CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Family, friends and visitors were given the opportunity to view and purchase artwork made by the young artists from the Group of 6, an art group that began in 2016, as well as have the opportunity to meet them on Sunday, May 20 during their Third Annual Showcase. Set up within and outside of the beautiful Everything Cornhusk gallery, the colourful artwork was displayed around the room and the young artists were also seated outside to sell greeting cards with their work printed upon them. “I have fourteen pieces on display,” said Frankie Warner, one of the six artists. “We were selling cards with all of our pieces on them and some posters, some are signed and some are unsigned. All of our work inside is for sale too.” Warner worked alongside the other member of the group; Imani Mitten, Kendall Jacobs, Kaya Hill, Hailey Vanevery and Haylee Anderson to create artwork that she said was inspired by her family members. “I really didn’t have any themes I just kind of painted what I was thinking about and what I was inspired by at the time, so I took a lot of ideas from my grandma and my fami-

ly,” she said. “I did a couple of pieces about my sister and my grandma and just painted from that, I also like the colour purple so you can see a lot of that in my work.” The groups first year held ages from 12-15, and this years group wel-comed an older category of 13-17. Warned explained that since the start they’ve welcomed new members. “There are four of us that are original members and since then we’ve found two new members,” she said. “We meet up on Wednesdays and get food from TNT because we have funds for our suppers. Then we eat and we paint and some of us paint

at home but we like to paint together because it’s a lot better that way.” And this sense of enjoying each others company while working goes for the whole group, as Hill explained that she joined the group to simply en-joy the experience. “I like it,” said Hill. “I enjoy feeling like I belong in a group. It’s like a club and it’s nice to have everyone come in and see our work and have the younger kids know that they can do it too.” But as they have become young role models rather than just artists, Hill credited Elizabeth Doxtater, the owner of Everything Cornhusk who or-ganizes and facilitates

the group. “We look at her as our mentor but also our friend, and she’s guided us through [the processes of making art].” Doxtater, who offered her gallery space to the group for the day and for the duration of their painting sessions, explained that the group has evolved into something to uplift the youth regardless of their painting tal-ent — even though talent is what the members are full of. “They don’t have to be Rembrandt or Picasso or anything, because it’s more than creating art, it’s also being a part of a group, it’s representing the community and it’s part of showing the com-

munity what they can do,” said Doxtater. She also explained that the group and everything done throughout the duration of the sessions was all for the benefit of the participating youth. This years showcase of art was dedicated in memory of Janie Johnson, who was Mitten’s aunt and former Cayuga Language Teacher.

All funds made through the art wok of the artists went directly to the art-ists, and printed on the back of their greeting cards is their logo. The logo is an artistic adaptation on the bundle of arrows representing unity in the Great Law of Peace and the strength that they have when they unite.

A congratulatory cake was provided for the artists and visitors to the gallery as this show case wrapped up the third year of the PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN group.

of Canada. Q. This hardly coincides, Mr. Smith, with the conception of the average citizen of Canada. What comment have you to make in that regard? A. It is only in the popular sense of the term that the present incumbent, Rt. Hon. MacKenzie King is given the courtesy title of “Prime Minister” (At the time this was written –Ed). Naturally, if Canada were a democracy, we would have a Prime Minister and a House which would make the laws of Canada and whose enactments could not be disallowed by the British Government, or any department of that Government. The popular conception of the Government of Canada is a variance with the facts. The situation was brought to the attention of the House by W. F. Kuhl, the Member for Jasper-Edson, Alberta, and has from time to time been brought to the attention of the public, but

to this date no remedy has been offered for this anomalous situation. Based upon the British North America Act of 1867, the House of Commons has been given jurisdiction over certain matters as set forth in section 91, and subject to the approval of the Senate and the assent of the governor General, the Bills passed by the house form the statute law of Canada. It will be noted, in passing, that no Bill involving the expenditure of public money may be introduced or initiated except by the Governor General in Council. Q: The Senate, Constitution and Jurisdiction? A: I would say it’s probable the Senate is constituted as a brake on the enactments of the house of Commons to revise and correct any mistakes that may be made. Sometimes their efforts have been conducive to uniformity, but it is a moot question as to whether the Senate itself serves any useful

purpose. It is entirely an appointment by the governor General and the qualifications of the person to be appointed to the Senate appear to be more of a property qualification than of his personal ability. The Speaker of the Senate is the President of the Parliament of Canada and that he is entirely under the influence of the Governor General may be realized by reading section 34 of the British North America Act, as follows; “The Governor General may from time to time, by instrument under the Great Seal of Canada, appoint a senator to be Speaker of the Senate, and may remove him and appoint another in his stead”. Next week in part five, Mr. Barr explores the Imperial Privy Council's limits of jurisdiction, functions and authority as it pertains to Canada.

Arrows home opener serves as an eye opener

The Junior ‘A’ Arrows showcase some growing pains in their first seasonal home game. CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Successful previous years for the Junior ‘A’ Arrows have held a lot of triumph and hosted a lot of lacrosse talent which left this years team standing as Minto Cup Championship defenders. Their success also made games versus the Arrows known as “the hardest place to get a Junior ‘A’ win in the league.” This is because of the work of players such as Douglas Jamieson, Kessler Doolittle and many others that were mentioned in the series versus the Coquitlam Adanacs last season — which led them to bringing the cup home with a final win of 8-3. Now new names have come to try to carry on the same success with the same reputation. But the ‘A’ Division can be a rude awakening for many players that are taking their first steps. The Iroquois Lacrosse Arena hosted a large crowd of family and fans in the afternoon of Monday, May 21, to see the Bread and Cheese Opener for the Arrows versus the St. Catharines Athletics. Low scoring led to a game full of fighting for possession of the ball and quick transition, but the goals that were buried were well done on both sides. The first period seemed to frustrate offences on both sides as shots on net led to a lot of back and forth rather than scoring. With 6 minutes left in the period, Travis

Longboat was fed from Brayden Mayea from Captain Jerry Staats and scored with a sharp outside shot from the shooter spot. But instead of allowing the small lead to remain, the Athletics then returned two goals with only minutes left. As the second period began, Staats made two interceptions and earned himself two break aways. But it was the second break away that he scored bottom left on Nick Damude completely unassisted. However, that would close the scoring for the Arrows for the rest of the game. Still, the Arrows showed the right kind of aggression on defence, as Athletics cutters were tossed or shoved out left and right. But it was their offence that seemed un-

able to read one another and work to get shots on the inside. Athletics defenders simply played a hard and rough man-onman and worked communication well to force shots from the outside — shots that most ‘A’ goalies can shut down.

This left the second period to finalize with the Athletics holding a two point lead and finally a three point lead in the third — leaving the game 5-2 for the Athletics. And although the Brampton Excelsiors defeated the Athletics 9-7

on Friday, May 18; the Arrows gave the Athletics their first win of the season and a smug victory. In retrospect, what will make or break the Arrows success is the organization of the bench staff as the team has all of the parts needed to be a

winning machine — they just need the coaching to get everything working together and exercised as the season progresses. The newer legs will definitely make for an interesting season to watch, but they do have some big shoes to fill.

The roster for the game featured several AP’s and several new players who are hoped to blend better with one another as the season PHOTOS BY CHEZNEY MARTIN progresses.

Rivermen top the Titans, tie for first JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The Six Nation Rivermen got the 15-13 win over the visiting Oakville Titans Friday night, but it was a lot closer than it had to be. Either way, they got the two points over the league leaders and jumped into a tie with the Titans. Last time these two teams met was May 13th when the Titans crushed the Rivermen 18-5 in Oakville. The Rivermen were set and ready to avenge the trouncing they took last week, out scoring Oakville 9-4 in the first period alone. The Titans chopped two branches off of that tree to produce a much more manageable 9-6 score but by the end of the second period, the scoreboard was still heavily leaning towards the Rivermen, at 14-9. But the game wasn’t in the bag just yet. The Rivermen scored its last goal of the game at the 11-minute mark of the third period, and

just as they thought they could back off on the gas and roll into the winners circle, the Titans turned it on with all they had left in the tank. Eddie Renaud quietly started the Titans’ comeback attempt at 13:32. One minute later, it as 15-11 and at 18:14, with the score 15-12, Rivermen coaches Stu Montour and Cory Bomberry had to start cracking the whip

again to re-engage the Rivermen with the game at hand. Oakville struck again at 19:03, but the Rivermen were able to control the ball the rest of the way to hang onto the rapidly narrowing lead, and the game. Next Sunday, May 27th, the Rivermen will be in Owen Sound for another kick at the North Stars for a 4 pm start.

SIX NATIONS — Twelve games into the 2018 Jr. B lacrosse season the Six Nations Rebels are 12-0 and lead all Ontario Jr. B divisions in points. What’s very telling about the Rebels statistics so far is that despite out-scoring most opponents there is not a Six Nation Rebel on the individual league scoring list until Chayton King’s 26 goals and 25 assists in eighth place across the league. The next Rebel on the list is Riley Miller way down at 19th spot on the league list. That is telling of a team that is incredibly balanced with all lines equally dangerous. Keep in mind the Rebels as a team scored 169 goals, tops in the league. Saturday afternoon at Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound, the scoring parade continued as the Rebels broke 20 against the NorthStars with a 20-6 win. The Rebels could have gone home after the 11-2 first period They added another six in the second period and three in the third. This is also a Rebels squad that will not be

intimidated. They have the back-ally part of their game as well. If anyone gets frustrated by the scoreboard and they try to intimidate, they are met with a team that also knows how to look after themselves and each other.

The scoring began 19 seconds after the opening face-off when Wes Whitlow led the scoring parade. Soon the Owen Sound net was bulging with almost every shot as the North Star’s defence was all but non-existent, and their goaltending suspect. There wasn’t much relief for the Stars in the second as Garret VyseSquare, Associate payer, Travis Staats and Riley Miller extended Six Nations lead to 15-2 by 8:07. Owen Sound’s only bright spot on the floor was Mike Flegehen wedged two goals in-between the Six Nations Rebels’ Riley Miller, his second of the period, and Chayton King’s third of the game. Owen Sound scored first in the gird period but it failed to spark any kind of come-back, as the Rebs dumped in three more in the third as they coasted to the 20-6 final. Adding

points to their scoring statistics were Garret Vyse-Square (5G,5A), Daylen Hill (3G,4A), Justin Martin (2G,4A), Riley Miller (4G,2A), Wes Whitlow (2G,4A), Chayton King (3G,1A), Travis Staats (1G), Bo Peltier (3A), Jesse Longboat (3A), and Adam Martin (1A). Goaltenders Keegan Thomas and Daniel Hill split the Six Nations duties with Hill registering the win. Friday, May 18th, at the ILA in Six Nations, the Rebels took a 12-4 win over the visiting Point Edward Pacers of the Mid-West division. There Pacers were no match as the Rebels easily built a 5-1 first period and a 6-1 second. By the time the final buzzer sounded, Kobe Whitcomb scored three and assisted on one, Chayton King has three assists and a pair of goals, Mason Hill, Riley Miller, had two goals, and two assists and Khan General scored one and assisted on two. This coming Friday night, the Rebels will host the Orageville Northmen in what is always a spirited affair, beginning at 8 pm., and a road game to Elora, Sunday May 27th, and a rare Tuesday night tilt in Niagara against the Thunderhawks.
