Laurier University raises cultural awareness

By Jayson Koblun

BRANTFORD – These days there can never be too many conversations about reconciling the relationship between Indigenous people and settler Canadians, it’s far too important to ignore.

“The level of ignorance is really relevant, especially in our field,” said Taylor Burciul, a personal support work student at Wilfred Laurier University Brantford (WLU). “We need to know the history so we can understand more about the people we will be working with.”

Several staff members at WLU agree and hosted Aboriginal Awareness Week (AAW) from Mar. 5 to Mar. 12. Lectures were held across campus to celebrate who the Indigenous people are, from their con-

Friends Dr. Thohahoken Michael Doxtater and Bonnie Whitlow at the final lecture of Aboriginal Awareness Week on Mar. 11 where Truth and Reconciliation was discussed. tributions to society, living in relationship with Mother Earth, their role in Canadian media and more.

The final lecture, on Mar. 11, covered truth and

reconciliation and took place during Dr. Thohahoken Michael Doxtater’s class titled, “Indigenous Community Organizing”.

“I would really like to

commend the students of this class,” said Bonnie Whitlow, Aboriginal student support co-ordinator on Brantford Campus . “I think it’s a really powerful statement that you make just by coming to be part of a class entitled Indigenous Community Organizing.”

The class consists of mostly settler Canadians and focuses on the organization within Indigenous communities – reserve, rural and urban. Students learn how to identify community issues, examine organizational responses and assess programs within Indigenous cultural realities.

Doxtater gave a short presentation on the history of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, followed by a presentation

by Brodie Parker and Laramie Bradovka that touched

on community organization in action — what it looks like and how it can be applied to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Richelle Ritchie, is from Six Nations and is a student in Doxtater’s class.

She feels that the class and AAW is a great opportunity for people who want to learn more about Indigenous people.

“When people are ignorant I try to understand because some people are just not educated and are not trying to be mean,” said Ritchie. “Others are ignorant because they want to and that’s a problem. When there is stuff like this [AAW] you see people genuinely caring about us and I feel it’s going to help eliminate a lot of stereotypes.”

Ritchie said that she

knows it is near impossible to completely wipe away stereotypes in any community but that classes like this are really helpful.

“I really like that the personal support worker program here is very involved in Indigenous education,” she said.

Jaime Chapman, another student taking the course, said, “Aboriginal Awareness Week promotes people to actually act on the things they are learning. It’s one thing to say you know, or to say you care but to actually act on it is more important. They say actions speak louder than words and I think it’s appropriate for us to learn the steps we can take to share this knowledge with the community and make it more popular on a national or maybe even a global level someday.”

Fundraiser Gala for language immersion school

By Chezney Martin

OHSWEKEN – Kawenni:io/ Gaweni:yo Mohawk and Cayuga Language Immersion School held a fundraiser gala to help raise funds for a new school and raised a whopping $20,866 before gross expenses.

The gala, held in the banquet hall at Six Nations Polytechnic last Thursday, featured three lots full of silent auction items. There were hand-made moccasins, soap stone carvings and much more donated by generous individuals.

Guests were entertained by the likes of Bear Fox and “Big Joe” and were fed a

“HANÍO/ HANYO”

three-course meal during throughout the silent auction.

Just before the main course was served, teacher and former vice-principal of Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo Candice Squire came forward to address the audience. Squire has been with the school since it began in the 1986.

“In a month or two before September, we were told that we could start an immersion school. We had 26 Mohawk students and 18 Cayuga students,” said Squire. “Where we went was into buildings people didn't want and for the Mohawks, we went into the

old Number One School, the real old Number One School. It was so old that the mice learned how to speak Mohawk,” she joked.

“Then we went to the old Number Five school this time, just after Polytechnic moved into this nice new building. But, we stayed at the old Number Five School until the ceilings were falling down, mold was all over the place and the pipes were no longer working.

We stayed there and finally we had to leave, and they invited us to come to [Polytechnic] for the last few months of school,” she said.

“So, we came to Polytech, I can't remember years, but

“LET’S GET IT STARTED”

we had to be out of here by the end of the school year and we didn't know where we were going. Then along came a nice, friendly, kind-hearted person who took us to his building, and it was at the I.L.A.,” she said, as her eyes began to water.

“And he showed us this big open barn like thing above the arena, and we were like 'yeah it's nice here, we could probably make it do,' and so we all agreed that that was where were going to move,” she said, explaining that the Cayuga students were going to remain at I.L. Thomas.

“About August, a meeting was called and they got called into the I.L.A. and we walked in there and they had this big beautiful school

for us,” she said, as both herself and members of the audience let tears fall. “It was beautiful for us because we never had anything like it,” she said. “Any place we went through in our time at Kawenni:io, learning the language, we've always made it home. Even when we were at that old school where the kids first went in and sat on upside down garbage cans, and when the windows were boarded up,” she said. “But, it's been fun going through all of the struggles.”

After completing her emotional speech, she later returned to the podium to explain that the “nice, friendly, kind-hearted person” was Curt Styres, who housed Kawenni:io/

Gaweni:yo students and staff within the I.L.A. for more than five years.

But, the determination to have a school to permanently call their own rang true, as the winning bids for items were set from $100 to $700 dollars and the 50/50 ticket draw awarded more than $1500. It is safe to say that with the willing support of those hoping to make this Mohawk and Cayuga immersion school continue on into the future, the new school or “home” will be achieved and cherished.

Dear Ask Kitty, This is an unusual question to ask but it’s kind of about gardening.

I am wondering if there is any way to soften soil?

The spot for my garden was turned over last year and then I did not get to do anything with it past there.

In the fall it was a square spot of big clumps and bumps.

ASK KITTY

Thank you, Bumpy Soil

Dear Bumpy Soil,

This is a perfect garden question. Soil is the beginning of the gardening adventure. You, my fine friend, are very lucky. The best method for breaking

5

down the lumps of soil in a new turned garden is to let it ‘winter over’.

This winter will have done most of the work for you. I remember many times watching ruts in lawns and fields literally disappear over the winter.

Please allow your garden space to become dry before you carry on with your preparation for planting.

Your soil is the key to a successful gardening experience, so be sure and do your amendments before planting. Your new garden space will be best if you take the time to till or rake it smooth and add plenty of compost. This seems odd to smooth it then add more to it but it is easiest to work the compost into

Z535M ZTrak™

the smoothed soil.

Till or use a shovel and rake to be sure the compost is well worked in (at least eight to 10 inches deep). You can test your soil for ph balance if you like but well aged compost has a nearly perfect ph of seven, so it should guide your soil to being balanced as well.

If you were just turning your soil this year to start your garden you would turn it, rest it for a few days and then till or rake, adding compost while you do this.

An easier way to prepare a garden space on a grassy area is to cover the area with many layers of paper and wet it down.

Add a layer of soil and then

more paper. Wet this second layer down and add more soil. Let it rest for a couple of weeks and add more soil and compost that has been well mixed.

Let it rest again for a few weeks. Your garden space will be ready to plant as soon as all danger of frost has gone. The paper will break down and the grass underneath will be gone.

Continue to add soil and compost throughout the season.

You will have lovely soil and fewer weeds.

Happy gardening, Kitty

TWO ROW TIMES

Our bones threaten them Editorial by Jonathan Garlow In 1982, Central School in downtown Brantford was being rebuilt. As they were excavating the area they discovered a mass grave site. Local historians told officials that this was an ancient Irish burial ground from the early 1800s and because it was filled with victims of a Cholera outbreak certain precautions needed to be taken.

So they removed the human remains with Hazmat gear and repatriated the human remains and gave them a proper burial.

Whether you are indigenous or a descendent of immigrants to this land, we live our lives expecting to return to the soil from whence we came. It is the circle of life and a human right to be buried with dignity and ceremonial respect.

According to Samuel J. Redman of the History News Network approximately 500,000 Native American remains are being held in the collections of U.S. museums and another half a million skeletons of indigenous ancestors are thought to lie in similar collections throughout Europe.

This figure does not account for indigenous remains stolen by Canadian scientists and officials.

We have a million questions for the scientific establishment.

Why do these people think they have the right to handle our grandmothers and grandfathers in this immoral way? Who gave them the authority to deny our people a proper burial? Why don’t they study their own bones for scientific research?

We could blame the Doctrine of Discovery for the malicious treatment of indigenous remains. This warped theory says that indigenous people have no souls. Like most forms of Colonial Christianity, the Doctrine of Discovery was created from blatant and intentional misinterpretations of the Jewish Bible.

In the bull of 1452 (no pun intended), called Romanus

Pontifex, Pope Nicholas directed Portuguese King Alfonso to "capture, vanquish, and subdue the saracens, pagans, and other enemies of Christ," to "put them into perpetual slavery," and "to take all their possessions and property."

It’s too bad the Pope was so unsophisticated he didn’t realize that the Six Nations accepted the Peacemaker and could be considered buddies with their Christ.

Anyway, this stupid papal order must have also included the theft of bones because it continues to this day.

Although the Doctrine of Discovery was upheld in Johnson v.

McIntosh which was an 1841 Supreme Court case, there must be other, deeper reasons why our settler friends have been stealing our bones like grave robbing thugs.

Maybe it’s because “Indian bones” are evidence in a colossal crime scene. If Henry F. Dobyns was correct, upwards of 90 million innocent humans were killed here in the least talked about genocide of human history. Isn’t it convenient that the people who steal our bones are also the same people who are responsible for our deaths?

Does Canada and the U.S. have something to hide?

There is a popular meme circulating on the internet by @ shutupmikeginn that captures the sentiment so very well. It says “The USA is having so many disasters and tragedies you’d almost think it was built on thousands of ancient Indian burial grounds.”

Yes, we were wiped out by smallpox and other diseases. No, it wasn’t the will of God. No, you didn’t conquer us – we are still here. We are standing strong.

But let’s get one thing straight.

Indian bones are human bones and we will continue to suffer and grieve until our grandparents are returned to us. There will be no reconciliation until our ancestors can rest in peace.

op-ed

A case for sovereignty Posthumously by Alma Greene Curated by Jim Windle SIX NATIONS ‑ It has been said by revisionists with obvious vested interest, that Six Nations or any of it’s member tribes were never accepted as an independent sovereign nation by the Crown of Britain and that the Two Row Wampum was only symbolic but not a binding agreement between Nations.

By way of education, we would like to put these revisionist thoughts to rest, or at the very least, under question.

The following information was found on type written pages stuffed in an old book written by the late Alma Greene this reporter purchased at a garage sale. We thought it brilliant and are pleased to publish this posthumously with Nia:wen to Alma.

Where it all began: 1613 has been accepted by many as the year of the first use of the Two Row Wampum as a peace and mutual respect treaty between the Iroquois Confederacy and the newly arriving Dutch to the shores of Turtle Island (North America).

A memorial between the British Imperial Government of 1912, it states “Six Nations were recognized as independent Nations and Allies of the Dutch and afterwards by the English of whom the Dutch surrendered their possessions in 1664. These confederate Nations have ever since resided upon the Grand River where they have been domiciled and established, maintaining their cohesion and ancient constitution and method of government.” (British Memorial VIPI Ottawa, Dominion of Canada) In 1664, on the 24th of Sept, the first treaty of alliance was

entered into between the English and the Five Nations ratified. That provided: “That if any English, Dutch or Indian (under the protection of the English) do any wrong, injury or violence to any of the said princes of their subjects in any sort whatever, if they complain to the governor of New York or to the officers in Chief at Albany, if the person so offending shall be discovered, that person shall receive condign (adequate) punishment and all due satisfaction shall be given; and like shall be done for all other English plantations.”

“That if any Indian belonging to any of the Sachems afore said do any wrong, injury or damage to the English, Dutch or Indians under the protection of the English, if complaint is made to the Sachems and the person be discovered who did the injury, then the person so offended shall be punished and all just satisfaction shall be given to any of His Majesty’s subjects in any colony or plantation in America.”

Under this Treaty both parties were treated on terms of equality and perfect independence, Political Status was on each side conceded.

1717, June 13 – At a conference in Albany, the terms of the Alliance were clearly and definitely stated by Governor Hunter.

“We are met here in this place by order of the King of Great Britain, my Master. In the same public and solemn manner, I, here in His command renew the ancient covenant with the Five Nations, promising on His pact that all the known conditions of the said covenant shall be duly and punctually observed, so long as you shall honestly and faithfully perform what has

been in all times hitherto been promised and performed. And to prevent all mistakes on this head, I must remind you of what has ever been meant and understood by you as well as us, by the Covenant Chain, that is that on the one hand the subjects of His Majesty on this continent should not only refrain from all acts of hostility or anything tending that way towards you but readily assist you when attacked by others, or enable you by such methods as were in power to repel force by force or defend yourselves, and on the other hand, you were on your part to live in the strictest of friendship with all his Majesty’s subjects and in most effective assistance in your power.” (N.Y. doc. Vol. 5 P 484) In 1733 Governor Montgomerie (sic) assured the Six Nations; “You need fear no enemies while you are true to your allegiance with him, the King.”

(N.Y Doc. 5. P 963)

1739 – The lords of trade addressed the lords of the privy council: “We shall observe to your lordship that these Six Nations are the most powerful and warlike of the ancient nations of that part of America. That they have always been faithful allies to the British settlements in those parts. We may add that these Six Nations are looked upon to be a great support of the British Empire in those parts.”

(N.Y. Doc. 6 P 156) 1744 Quote from Governor Clinton: “I have had an interview with the Five Nations of the Indians and have renewed a treaty of peace and alliance with them. (N.Y. Doc. 6 P 256) 1748 Governor of Canada

wrote Governor Clinton: “That neither the Treaty of Utrecht, nor any other similar one can make the Iroquois subjects of Great Britain. They claim to be free, as they have declared an infinite number of times and as their conduct and yours towards them proves, inasmuch as for 150 years they have concluded peace and made war independent of you, and often in opposition to you, without your ever having attempted to force them to obey you.

The Plenipotentiaries of Utrecht could not then legitimately subject them to you. The English are too well read in the law of Nations not to appreciate this truth.” (N.Y. Doc. 6 P. 496) 1749 Sir William Johnson wrote Governor Clinton: “Your Excellency is plenipotentiary (in full power to take independent action) with the Indians who though called subjects, are a foreign people, and are to be treated with as immediately from the King, of his Majesty’s Governor.” (N.Y. doc. 6 P. 540)

April 19, 1757 proceedings of Council “Brethren – Let all nations of Indians know that the Great King of England, my master, is their faithful friend, that He desires all nations of Indians may unite together, be as one body and one blood. He offers them his alliance and protection, which all princes and peoples over the great lake are proud and glad of.” (N.Y. Doc 7 P. 246)

Sept. 22, 1767 Sir William Johnson writes the Earl of Shelburne: They, the Six Nations call themselves a free people who had an independent land, which were their ancient possessions, that the French by ceding Canada, according to the words of the treaty granted what was not in their power to give; their outposts and distant possessions being only held by them, not by conquest but by favor; that if they admitted our rights to the post we conquered, the country was still theirs, and in fact it was most certain the French never spoke to them in any other style, as sensible of the conse-

quences it might with regard to their interests.”

(N.Y. Doc 7 P. 958) In 1768 a line of demarcation was established between lands of the Six Nations and the land of the King and their full independence acknowledged by the Treaty of Fort Stanwix, at this time the Six Nations was regarded as a distinct political community, capable of making treaties or compacts to which the law of England did not extend.

July 3, 1794 – Governor Simcoe writing Dundas, Secretary of State, on July 3, 1794.

“It rests for me to observe Sir, that I have always considered an Article of the Treaty of Utrecht to be the only authentic document that defines the state of the Indians, as far as it respects the European nations, whose line of demarcation as limited by themselves for their own mutual guidance, gives to the Indians and their respective traders, the utmost freedom therein and considers the nation as entirely independent.

201-207) “The manners of the Indians required that the tract assigned to them should be in common, inalienable and kept out of the view of our municipal laws, at least so long as they affected to consider themselves independent allies, for this purpose a council, a treaty, a belt, was adequate. It was a compact of one nation with another, to be governed by general rules and not by the provisions of the common law of England. To form their tract of al white subjects. Holding to what was then done to have been adequate to the wishes of the Indians and the extent of the Government, new circumstances must have arisen to justify any call by the Indians on government for assurances or change … The Government cannot wish to constrain the or to introduce our laws among them so long s they continue a people apart.”

May 11th, 1914 Hon. Frank Oliver, speaking in the house of commons, said: “These are the bands of the Six Nations Indians lo-

cated on the Grand River in Ontario, who, I maintain are in a different legal position from any Indian bands who are native to this country. These Indian bands on the Grand River had their original home in the United States. At the close of the war of the revolution they emigrated to Canada and were given lands under a special treaty, not as subjects of Great Britain but as allies of Great Britain and I maintain that the holding of these Six Nations Indians on the Grand River is of such kind that this parliament has no right to interfere with it. I admit that parliament has the power to interfere with the rights of Indians, under treaty with this government, but I say that his parliament has no right to interfere with a treaty made between the Imperial Government and the Six Nations.”

July 5th 1775, Lord Dartmouth wrote Col. Guy Johnson, Superintendent of the Six Nations after William died.

“The present state of affairs in his Majesty’s colonies in which an unnatural

rebellion has broken out, that threatens to overturn the constitution… as that His Majesty may rely on their assistance in ant case in which it may be necessary to require it.”

(N.Y. Doc. 8 P.592.

After the passing of the British North America Act, a wampum belt was presented to the Six Nations

by Col. Clause on behalf of the Canadian government. This was a token of regard for the Mohawks and others of the Six Nations who had ever proven themselves “faithful allies of the British” and conferred upon them the full and perpetual right to live as a “nation within a nation” conforming always to their ancient rules and customs, which the Government would never force them to change.

Hope this helps to clarify a few things. Again, many thanks to Alma Greene for formulating this argument for Six Nations of the Grand River sovereignty.

Pre-trial for Kent Owen Squire-Hill Vice-principal arrested for voyeurism

By Jayson Koblun BRANTFORD – A pre-trial for Kent Owen SquireHill of Six Nations took place last Wednesday in preparation for a new trial in connection with the death of his former girlfriend Tashina General.

Squire-Hill was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of 21-year-old General in 2011, but the Ontario Court of Appeal ordered a new trial for Squire-Hill after quashing his conviction last year.

The courts are still deciding on a date for the former lacrosse star’s new trial to begin.

“Pre-trials represent an important step in the litigation process. They encourage settlement and may assist in identifying or narrowing the actual issues for trial. Through the pre-trial process, trial management orders and directions may be obtained so that the trial will proceed more efficiently,” reads the Canadian Ministry of the At-

Tashina General is one of Six Nations Missing and Murdered Women. Kent Owen Squire-Hill was previously convicted of second degree murder in connection with her death but has been granted a new trial. torney General’s website.

Squire-Hill’s appeal against his conviction was based on the fact that the trial judge had erred at the time in instructing the jury on the definition of intent and the defence of provocation. He also argued that the Crown attorney’s had improperly cross-examined him on his statement to police.

The Ontario Court of Appeals ruled that

there was no merit in the cross-examination argument, however they did find merit in his other points of appeal and awarded the new trial.

Squire-Hill had been sentenced to life in prison following a jury's finding of guilt after an eight-day trial in connection with General’s death. General, a Six Nations woman who was four months pregnant with Squire-Hill’s child when she disappeared on Jan. 22, 2008.

General's remains were found in a shallow grave on the Six Nations reserve, off of Chiefswood Road, near Indian Line.

It was later disclosed that General had died by strangulation.

SquireHill, 20-years-old at the time, was later arrested in North Bay, Ont. The pre-trial took place behind closed doors between judge and lawyers on Wednesday, Mar. 9. Media was not permitted at the pre-trial.

By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – A Grand Erie School Board vice-principal appeared in Brantford court last Thursday for a bail hearing after he was arrested following the discovery of a small digital camera hidden in the ceiling tiles of the staff washroom at James Hillier Public School on Queensway Drive in Brantford.

T h i r t y-t h r e e -ye a rold Brent Lawrence Hachborn, vice-principal at St. George-German Public School and Burford District Elementary School, is facing one charge of adult voyeurism based on an image found on the camera by police after school maintenance personnel found the camera.

electronic devices have also been seized and police believe more images and more charges are likely to follow.

Superintendent of education, Liana Thompson, although upset at the incident went on record assuring parents that as of now, there have been no children involved and said the board believes this was an isolated incident.

“This is an extremely

serious charge and we are working with police,” said Thompson. “It is a very distressing situation. Our biggest priority is to support anyone who comes forward with information.”

Hachborn will not be allowed to teach or be inside the school while the investigation continues.

Shawn McKillop, the board's manager of communications and community relations, said information about the incident is being prepared for parents and has been sent home with students.

A publication ban issued by the court prohibits publication of any evidence taken at the hearing.

The family of Mel Styres reclaims Lonewolf OHSWEKEN – You might have come across a sign reading that Darlene Jonathan-Styres is now the sole proprietor of Lonewolf, and as of Sunday, March 6, she is.

All four of the Lonewolf locations are now under full proprietorship of Jonathan-Styres and her family; as the two non-native business partners Lynn Edward Hartwick and Kar Leung have been disassociated with the franchise due to several implications including breaches of contract.

Daughter to Jonathan-Styres, Jill Styres offered her official statement to the Two Row Times.

“Sge:no to all haudenosaunee of Six Nations Territory. For years rumours have been circling about Lonewolf Coffee & Pit Stop. Our people have wondered how much these non-native business partners are involved, where the profits go and what the profits support.

Communications between

these partners have deteriorated even further since the passing of my father; Melvin Styres on August 14, 2015 of esophagus cancer. Leaving my mother to raise money for a funeral for my father and my sister who also died tragically Nov. 12, 2015,” wrote Styres.

In my fathers passing, he left his wife sole proprietorship of all 4 Lonewolf locations. So, we as a family are making a stand against these non-natives that have used and abused my fathers name, his family business, his Indian Status and our fast rising economy on Six Nations.

These men have mademultiple business transactions with many people and other businesses on and off the territory. But these Non-Native managers repeatedly told my father over the years that the businesses "do not make money, they stay afloat,” she continued.

Now one of these men (Hartrick) has been living on 5th line at a Lone-

wolf location for a couple of years now, claiming Six Nations territory.

He has intentions to put this land into his 3yr old granddaughters name.

My mother doesn't know these men or operations well enough to know the extent of this "abuse of the system." She wishes to separate herself from these men. So today Lonewolf will no longer be the front for their back door operations. These men will be locked out of the 4 Lonewolf locations. I am hopeful for the future of Lonewolf – that Lonewolf will be honourable and will respectfully continue serving this community for years to come. I hope my community will stand beside us as this transition to better business for our community happens, as it should have long ago,” she finished.

This is what is hoped to be a step in the right direction for the Lonewolf franchise.

All four locations are now firmly under the sole proprietorship of Darlene Jonathan-Styres; with the hopes that this will create better and healthier business for Lonewolf and the Six Nations Community. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

Manitobans getting to know all about Wab Kinew

By Gordon Sinclair Jr. Winnipeg Free Press Mar. 12, 2016 – Wab Kinew is intelligent, articulate, multi-talented and ambitious, an assessment the 34-year-old has no trouble agreeing with, I’m sure.

He’s a former hip-hop artist, an actor, author and journalist who grew up in relative privilege as the son of a University of Winnipeg professor and residential school survivor.

Oh, yes, that’s the bonus — Kinew is indigenous. That much anyone could see from his time on CBC television, where he was the host of acclaimed series 8th Fire and came to be a self-styled "ambassador" to the aboriginal community. He is the associate vice-president of indigenous affairs at the University of Winnipeg and, most recently, an NDP candidate for Fort Rouge in the upcoming provincial election.

Yet, despite his impressive resumé — or maybe because of it — it’s hard to know who Kinew really is.

Especially given what happened this week to this attractive face and outspoken champion of Canada’s indigenous community. All his talk has been betrayed by a yearsold tweet. More than one, actually. They run the gamut — from misogynistic to homophobic — all of them as juvenile as they are repulsive, much like similarly offensive hip-hop lyrics that hit the headlines earlier this month.

But the tweet that topped them all, especially given the image Kinew has carefully cultivated, was: "Riding in my limo back to my king sized sweet feeling really bad for those kids in Attawapiskat. #haha #terrible #inative."

Those kids Kinew was "feeling really bad for" were from an isolated and impoverished Attawapiskat First Nation,

It took more back-andforth, more pointed questions, before Kinew finally said: "I am sorry to the people of Attawapiskat for having their good name dragged through the mud. And I am sorry for any harm that I caused them."

I wasn’t expecting him to be contrite — which he wasn’t — but I didn’t expect him to turn combative, either.

Some time after Selinger nudged him and quietly told Kinew to stay cool under my questioning, Kinew glared at me.

He tried to stare me down as the premier answered questions. I looked away the first time, but not af-

Darling of the Canadian Media, Wab Kinew, has recently come under fire for insensitive tweets that are causing concern for his NDP political campaign. PHOTO COURTESY OF WINNIPEG FREE PRESS

where a state of emergency had been declared two years earlier because of a housing crisis.

And Kinew hashtagged "haha"?

So it was Friday, when the NDP called a news conference, with Premier Greg Selinger there to stand by his man, I dropped by to ask a few questions.

Pointed ones about that tweet from the limo.

Kinew opened the news conference with a lame joke. It was the last time he, or anyone else in the room, would laugh out loud. I had not met Kinew before; what struck me first was his body language when Selinger was speaking.

Kinew posed casually, with hands tucked in his pants pockets and a look that exuded smugness, but was probably a cover for his anxiety. I asked Kinew what he was thinking when he tweeted laughter from the limo.

"One thing that’s common in the First Nations community is to have a healthy dose of self-deprecating humour," he said.

"About children who are impoverished?" I asked.

"What I am making fun of there is my own privilege," Kinew said. And all the opportunity and achievement that resulted from it.

"I am mocking myself for being able to live a very high quality of life at the same time that little brothers and sisters in communities just like the one I started life out in are living in abject poverty. At the same time, I am satirizing everyone else in this country who turns a blind eye to their suffering."

I asked if he regretted the tweet.

"I regret not putting ‘#satire’ on it," he said.

I would go on to suggest he might understand why some people might doubt his sincerity. I meant his answer about the tweet and his proclaiming that he had changed over the years. Transformed, as he put it.

"You know me," he added at one point.

I didn’t, but I was getting to.

Ultimately, I asked if he had thought about apologizing to the people of Attawapiskat.

"Well, I am sorry. To anyone that my words harmed."

ter the second, even longer, who-will-blink-first contest.

Later, another reporter asked Kinew how the voters in Fort Rouge can be sure he’s sincere, that he had actually changed.

"Well," Kinew answered, "because, um, they need only look at how I’ve conducted myself in this situation."

It was after the news conference, angered at the way Kinew had tried the stare-down tactic, that I approached him and introduced myself.

"I know who you are," he said.

And now I finally know who Wab Kinew is.

DEEZ NUTS: HAUDENOSAUNEE USES OF HICKORY

By Nahnda Garlow Hickory is a traditional food source to the Haudenosaunee. European travellers who came to Iroquois Country wrote that they were actually disgusted at how many Hickory nuts the men would consume in one meal.

The nutmeat is fragrant and sweet but notoriously difficult to pry from the shell. So how do we eat them?

There are several traditional uses of Hickory nuts. Historical naturalist William Bertram wrote in 1792 about the traditional use of Hickory saying, “I have seen above a hundred bushels of these nuts belonging to one family. They pound them to pieces, and then cast them into boiling water, which, after passing through fine strainers, preserves the most oily part of the liquid; this they call by a name which signifies hickory milk; it is as sweet and rich as fresh cream, and is an ingredient in most of their cookery, especially hominy and corn cakes.”

This “hickory milk” is actually more of a delicious nut broth. You can drink it as a coffee substitute or use the broth in place of liquid in any recipe to give a sweet, nutty flavour to your cooking.

First get yourself

TIP: If you just want to eat the hickory nuts and are not interested in making broth, try soaking the nuts in hot water for 30 minutes before cracking. This helps the shells to split rather than shatter when you crack them.

a good pint or two of hickory nuts. The preferred nuts to use are the large hickory nuts from the Shagbark Hickory.

Before you begin you’re going to have remove the outer husk and rinse the hickory nuts in a large bowl to wash away any dirt or debris. If any of the hickory nuts float discard these - they are spoiled or have a little bug inside called a weevil.

This is the fun part.

Take your clean nuts and smash them to bits. Use a hammer, a brick, a mortar and pestle or whatever you like. They don’t have to be ground fine. Any amount of shatter is fine.

If you find the occasional black nut or weevils just discard those. You don’t want that in your food. At the end of your crushing you should end up with 2-4 cups of crushed bits.

Gather your hickory bits, shells and all and put them in a large pot 3/4 full with fresh water.

Bring this to a rolling boil on the stove and

then turn down the heat to simmer for about 45 minutes, giving the pot a good stir every 10 minutes or so. You can boil as long as two hours but not longer.

Naturally during the broth making process the nutmeat will float to the top of the broth and the shells will sink. This is nature’s blessing. Take a big spoon and skim off the floaters and let them drain on a paper towel.

You can still use these and they are delicious.

Ground them up once they’ve dried into a nut meal and add it to cornbread or mush.

Drain the pot of nut broth through a strainer or cheesecloth to separate the remaining shells from the liquid and there you have it — Hickory Nut Broth.

You can try drinking this as a tea sweetened with maple syrup. Or try using it as a liquid in wild rice recipes and white corn meal mush for an additional flavour kick.

Canada to feature woman on new bank note

By Jayson Koblun

OTTAWA – The Bank of Canada is inviting the public to nominate iconic women from Canada’s past to appear on the next issue of bank notes.

"Today, on International Women's Day, the Bank of Canada is taking the first step by launching public consultations to select an iconic Canadian woman to be featured on this new bill,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week.

To be eligible to appear on the new bill, the woman must be a Canadian, by birth or naturalization, who has demonstrated outstanding leadership, achievement or distinction in any field that has benefitted the people of Canada.

Nominations are now under way and will close on April 15. Those nomina-

tions will be reviewed by an independent Advisory Council composed of eminent Canadian academic and cultural leaders.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau said that it is "high time to change."

"One of the very first things I had the honour of doing as the new finance

minister was asking the governor of the Bank of Canada, Stephen Poloz, and his colleagues at the bank whether it's in fact possible to put a woman on the bank note," he Morneau.

The Two Row Times has put together a short list of names that have been presented for consideration

What Ontario Land Registry?

By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – Not very many people living in Ontario are aware that there is no such thing as the Ontario land registry, which registers and records all land transactions in the province. It’s all been sourced out to a private corporation.

About 15 years ago the province hired Teranet, a private firm, to digitize, register and transact real estate deals and titles, both old and new.

Martin McDermott was caught on the horns of this beast while dealing with land in Ancaster once owned by his now deceased mother.

He believes the change in the Ontario land registry system and its software is or could be just as easily used to unfairly deal with certain Six Nations land claims and title issues.

“Teranet started as Real Data Ontario (RDO) who had a secret master agreement with the province of Ontario,” McDermott says. “They had

been given the contract to digitize all of the Ontario land registry documents on file and centralize this data in one privately owned data base. Teranet can make agreements for new data sources and has an unfettered right to mine as much data they want from other sources to integrate with private data in land registry offices.”

According to McDermott, RDO in fact was a shell company set up with no employees, no software, in fact nothing but a name, directors and surveyors. He believes that was done without due process of tenders from other bidders. To grease the wheels, others who could benefit from the RDO contract wrote letters of support, contingent upon RDO getting the contract.

As part of his personal investigation into Teranet, McDermott recently went to the CBC in Toronto to view a 1991 investigative report they did on Teranet at that time. He came back with the confi-

dence that his suspicions are likely true.

McDermott found that although welcomed by the Ontario Liberals, in some other provinces, like Alberta, this practice was found to be unacceptable and Alberta would not privatize its land registry wishing it to remain in public control given the sensitive nature of this information.

“Under Teranet, you don’t know if your neighbour has split his properties between numbered companies and foreign investment capital, as Walton International is in the practice of doing,” says McDermott. “That means you don’t know if the appreciated value on that land next to you is affecting your property taxes. That’s because Teranet supplies the data of the property assessment values from the registry of the last conveyances of these properties.”

The startup costs for Teranet came from foreign private financing brought by a certain Mohamed al Zibek of Sau-

di-Arabia.

Teranet is a subsidiary of Borealis Infrastructure, which in turn is an arm of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System.

“What they did was to take the software, called Polaris, that was already under development and in turn went to local registry offices and scanned some, but not all, documents. Many of these registry offices were then closed,” he says.

Teranet also took all the maps, which are copyrighted by cartographers and those who hold the copyright on those maps. There is a $50 million class action suit before the courts involving the Keatley company, a survey consortium which is suing Teranet for copyright infringement. The court initially ruled in Teranet’s favour but in a later appeal, the court overturned that decision and the class action suit is still alive.

“I believe that people who have lost property through this hocus-pocus

Martin McDermott of Mount Pleasant believes he has come across information that changes everything when it comes to land registry in Ontario. He has discovered that Ontario has quietly privatized what used to be known as the Ontario Land Registry Office. This has implications when it comes to Ontario residents as well as Six Nations land claims issues. His research has confirmed his fears that the province no longer has control of the registry.

land registry also have a right to sue by way of a class action law suit,” says McDermott.

McDermott also says this software developed

by Teranet has no security systems in place to guard this information in any way.

Teranet gets 60 per cent common shares while Ontario government gets 40 per cent

common shares. In 2012, Ontario sold its shares and in 2014, the McGuinty government renewed the contract with Teranet ahead of the scheduled 2017 renewal date giving Teranet the contract until 2067.

CBC discovered during their story that there was another, much more repCONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Monthly drop-in for the Six Nations LGBTQ2SI community

By Lindsay Monture SIX NATIONS – Being accepted and loved for who we are is fundamentally im-portant to all people.

Now, a group of young Six Nations LGBTQ2SI youth have started up a new monthly drop-in program for all LGBTQ2SI people and supporters, beginning in April. On Saturday, March 26 at Social Services from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., there will be an LGBTQ Extravaganza event to launch the dropin program.

Supported by the Native Youth Sexual Health Network (NYSHN), the event will in-clude ice breakers, arts activities throughout the day, panel and group discussions on coming out, workshops on sexual health education and how to create community, and an open-mic for anyone to take the opportunity to express their art.

Kahsenniyo Tahnee Williams initiated the group for LGBTQ2SI youth to discuss what was needed to create a safe space and build up the queer community in Six Nations.

“I think that coming out is really scary for folks,” said Kahsenniyo. “You don’t really know if you are going to be completely ostracized, or just half-accepted and tolerated for your gayness.”

The drop-in will offer those who have concealed their sexual/gender identity a sup-port system while they go through the process of understanding who they are and subse-quently sharing that with the people in their lives.

Although homophobia and transphobia is a prominent issue for

many LGBTQ2SI people, Kahsenniyo feels that things are starting to look up for the next generation.

“I feel like this younger generation has much more of a culture of acceptance around it. There’s a lot more young people that view their sexuality as a process and a journey,” said Kahsenniyo.

Kiley May, a transgendered Six Nations community member who is now based in Toronto and works with the Native Youth Sexual Health Network, shares Kahsenniyo’s sentiment about the progressive next generation.

“I think the youth now have it a bit better than I did 10 to 15 years ago.

It seems the culture and attitudes are shifting and that’s making it safer and more welcoming for youth to step into the light and

live their truth,” said Kiley. “This is a very good thing. I hope it just continues getting better for the future LGBTQ2SI generations.”

Kiley and Kahsenniyo credit the Internet, pop culture and the media representations of LGBTQ2SI people for why people are becoming more open to understanding one another.

“There are more re-sources now. There’s a lot more support for people in terms of working through it and figuring it out.”

One of the youth organizers explains that religion often prevents people from being open to the LGBTQ2SI community. “The cultural and religious side of it, how strong it is on the reserve makes it very closed-minded here. It’s not something

they’re used to. Not a lot of people come out, so they think there’s only a few gay people on the reserve but there’s so many.”

“The reason it’s important to come out and support our youth and support the event is because you probably know someone who is LGBTQ2SI and if you don’t yet, you will,” said Kiley. “What would you do if your child came to you one day and told you they were trans? How do you respond? Coming to an event like this is a

wonderful way to show support, allyship, equality and love. It’s also a great way to learn and hear our stories. Coming to support sends a message to the community that you are against rejections and discrimination of our LGBTQ2SI youth, and that instead you stand up for equality and love. And that’s a beautiful thing.”

45TH ANNUAL

LIL NHL TOURNAMENT

“It’s not if you win or lose, but how much you tried and how fairly you played.”

- Former Chief Jim McGregor, LNHL Co-Founding Father

Little NHL celebrates 45 years of fan appreciation

By TRT Staff MISSISSAUGA – The 45th Little Native Hockey League Tournament (LNHL) is taking place in Mississauga from March 14 to 17 with 194 teams representing First Nations across Ontario.

President of the LNHL Marvin Assinewai said, “The Little NHL Tournament has created countless memories everlasting new and old friendships from our Anishinabek across Ontario.”

The four LNHL pillars are respect, education, citizenship and sportsmanship.

“Your efforts have united the community through a shared love of Canada’s favourite winter game,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, recognizing the tournament’s value.

The LNHL is a family event that many families travel to every year to watch their children participate in.

Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Patrick Madahbee said, “Every team has the goal of winning their division, but the memories of participating in the high level competition will be something that you will always remember.”

Elected Chief R. Stacey Laforme of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation said, “A tournament that is a testament to the rich history of our peoples in sport.

It has truly become a cultural event here in Ontario. This tournament has had its share of towns and cities but where ever it calls home for that year people will travel to watch, participate, volunteer and cheer.”

Throughout the tour-

nament you may still feel the presence of elders, participants, spectators, and volunteers past watching and cheering at every rink they play. Many dignitaries and former players who have continued to play in leagues as high as the NHL may frequent the arenas, speak with the players and sign autographs.

“It’s not if you win or lose, but how much you tried and how fairly you played,” said former Chief Jim McGregor.

These are words that are repeated by coaches to instill the teachings to

future generations. With all the support we have one must always keep their eyes open. You never know who you might see catching a game.

Opening Ceremonies took place at the Hershey Centre on Sunday March 13 and the games started on March 14. Games will take place at the Hershey Centre and the Iceland, Tomken and Meadowvale Arenas.

Land rights under threat

By Chezney Martin and Nahnda Garlow SIX NATIONS – The Iroquois Caucus held a press conference in Ottawa declaring “resolute opposition” to the Agreement In Principle proposed capital funding and lands treaty sought by a group of Algonquin nations.

The Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) are seeking to establish a land base for nine of the 10 nations they represent. There are more than 117,000 acres of land in the proposed treaty/ land claim. However a large portion of these lands are also part of the traditional land base of Iroquois Nations.

Iroquois Caucus says they have raised concerns with the AOO, Canada and the province but have not received conclusive responses to those concerns.

A memo from the Algonquin Nation Secretariat (ANS), representing the communities of Timiskaming, Wolf Lake and Barriere Lake, obtained by the Two Row Times states that the

AOO list of voters who are deemed eligible to vote on the ratification of the proposed AOO Agreement In Principle contains approximately 7,714 individuals of which only 663 are registered as having Indian Status.

The remaining voters, over 7,000, say their indigenous identity is linked to a “root ancestor” of Algonquin identity. In many cases, the claim of indigenous ancestry goes back to one person in the voter’s genealogy in the 17th century.

“Algonquins who are relying on these root ancestors have had no intermarriage with anyone of Algonquin or Nipissing ancestry for at least 200, and in some cases, more than 300 years. By our count, this category of individuals makes up 39 per cent of the entire AOO voters’ list,” they write.

The Chiefs of the ANS released a joint statement opposing the AOO and say the proposed treaty AIP is a violation of their member’s rights.

“The AOO claim has

reached the Agreement in Principle (AIP) stage and is now being voted on, despite years of protests by other Algonquin First Nations.

The Chiefs of Kebaowek (Eagle Village), Timiskaming, Kitigan Zibi and Barriere Lake joined together to express unity in opposition to the AOO claims process.

They are also carrying this message on behalf of the Algonquins of Wolf Lake.”

Six Nations Land Rights Worker Phil Monture said if the treaty is approved it will have far reaching affect for indigenous land rights across the board.

“My issue is that they're letting a lot of the non-natives to come in and decide what native people are going to be allowed and not allowed,” said Monture.

“That’s a bad precedent to be setting for native rights.

After all of our court battles have gone on to finally put us in a somewhat level playing field to assert our own rights for our own people the way we want and that's best for us — they’re basically giving the non-native population up there the ability to vote in their own [native] settlement.”

explained that he doubts references such as genealogical identification and blood quantum are being used.

“The government is leaving it wide open, and we don't know the rules of their vote,” said General. “I never seen their voters list criteria, so we don't know and nobody has seen it.”

General said the proposed treaty also potentially puts Six Nations land claims at risk.

“Right now their land claim overlaps our land claim. We have a land claim in Hogsbury and Innisville, one's near Barrie and the other is up near Ottawa and our land claim is in the books already as validated by the government. If they go ahead with their land claim it's gonna overlap ours and nobody's talking about which one Canada is gonna deal with first,” said General.

Monture said the 'Hogsbury' claim for 4000 acres was recognized in the 1990s. “There's been no negotiations on that, and here they are on the other end of the spectrum, negotiating away rights that's gonna affect us if they're not protected.”

Land registry from page 15 utable consortium with a long track record, employees and significant capital also wanting in.

This company would have protected this data like a bank but was never considered.

Under the Teranet system lawyers can now represent both a buyer and a seller, without any physical documents in hand, only the software on a memory stick they now have privy to.

But now, employees and secretaries can perform this duty using this supposedly secure software, according to an article published in Law Times Written By Tali Folkins.

“So this numbered company has a Teraview stick, and they have credentials to go into Teraview,” says lawyer Shayle Rothman who is opposed to the practice.

“Because the system is not locked for anything other than ownership

transfers, they were able to discharge a mortgage fraudulently. It was super easy for them to do.”

According to McDermott, this system has also been used to purge land titles, historical documents, and fast track development projects by those insiders using it.

The questionable use of invisible equity is not new. A study of the establishment of the hamlet of Caledonia itself involved Indian Agent Jasper Gilkinson who used illegal land titles in Brantford as collateral on land he wanted to purchase in Caledonia.

The system has been made more efficient by digitizing by scanning in what is wanted and purging out what is not, but now it’s happening at the speed of light, according to McDermott.

Bantams just miss the Kawartha Coyotes

By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN – After defeating the Belmont Rangers in a nearly flawless series, the Six Nations Bantams couldn't help but over think their second game versus the Kawartha Coyotes and it showed on the scoreboard as they took a loss 2-3.

Kawartha is full of shorter players that are closer to the ice and quicker because of it. But, this isn't what had the Bantams playing a lower level of hockey – it was bad critical decision making.

But, this decision making was hidden in the first period. The Bantams height advantage seemed to jilt the Coyotes, as the Bantams performed their usual steal the puck and set up for shots strategy.

After only three minutes of play, Devin Jamieson tore around the shorter Coyotes defence and from what spectators could see, he skated so fast that he couldn't stop.

But Jamieson had flung the puck into the net just before he collided into the boards and scored the first goal unassisted.

Hung on the back wall of the arena were signs commemorating each player on the Bantams, showing just how much support there is coming from of fans and family. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

Just after the Bantams hard work paid off, the Coyotes answered with a goal a minute later. This bled into a lot of obvious aggression from the Coyotes, as two charging and tripping penalties were called. But, the Bantams couldn't seem to connect on a power play to score one more to break the tie.

The second period kicked off with a quick goal by the Coyotes in the first minute after Jamieson was thrown into the box for cross checking.

Two minutes later Jamie-

son was put back into the box for another cross checking penalty, making the Bantams work harder to try to kill the deficit.

Just as Jamieson was released, Darrion White was put into the box for tripping. But, the Bantams maintained by shooting the puck to the other end to eat at the penalty time to finish the period.

The third period opened up for the same type of play, as in the first 50 seconds Jamieson was back in the box for cross

checking for the third time. But, the Coyote player that Jamieson hit proceeded to say something derogatory around his mouth guard and was thrown into the box for unsportsmanlike conduct.

This left the playing field even, but the Coyotes used their speed to get another goal. This didn't sit well with Jamieson, who got out of the box only to get thrown from the game for achieving five penalties for cross checking.

This didn't deter the hope that the Bantams would come back, as their offence seemed to become more aware that they needed to try harder. Leading into the last five minutes Assistant Captain Mason Hill scored with a nice slide into the open corner, assisted Wyatt Williams and Rycol Davis. This left a lot of promise, but no follow through.

The game ended 2-3, with the Bantams hanging their heads. They'll need a lot more gumption

Corvairs face tougher series against Canucks

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The GOJHL has released its playoff schedules for the Conference semi-finals, which for the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs and the Niagara Falls Canucks begins Wednesday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Haldimand Centre Arena in downtown Caledonia.

The series goes to Niagara Falls Friday night for Game #2 of the best of seven, before returning to Caledonia for Game #3 Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. with Game #4, if necessary, set for Tuesday night in Niagara. Game #5 is an 8 p.m. start at the Haldimand Arena with Game #6 and if a Game #7 is required, it will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Caledonia.

Round #1 of the 2016 race for the Sutherland Cup was little more than a public skate against the Pelham Panthers whom they easily swept in four straight games.

This time, they will

be breaking a sweat, according to Corvairs general manager Brian Rizzetto.

“We’re going to have all we can handle against Niagara,” he told Two Row Times. “But we’re going to have to be more disciplined.”

Even against the Panthers there were far too many unwise penalties and Rizzetto knows that against a team with more skills to bring to James Hillier Public School the table than the Panthers, unnecessary time in the penalty box has real potential to jump up and bite them.

“Special teams are going to be very important as we go forward,” he says. “Our powerplay has been hit and miss.”

Fortunately, the Corvairs penalty kill unit have been holding their own but could still stand some improvement.

The Canucks recorded a very acceptable 26 wins, 20 losses, two single point regulation time ties and two overtime

“I think we played well on offence. We were really moving the ball and ‘Vno’ (Matt Vinc) played a great game,” said forward Stephen Keogh.

“We still haven’t played to our full potential so we need to figure that out and come out hot off the start of the game and play a full 60 minutes.”

Busy Week has all National Lacrosse League teams in action ROCHESTER ‑ There were several hot sticks in action this past weekend in Buffalo in National Lacrosse League action.

Despite multi-point games registered by Rochester Knighthawks attackers Cody Jamieson (2G,3A), Stephen Keogh (3G,2A), Cory Vittarelli (3G,1A), Dan Dawson (2G,2A) and more, they were trumped by the Buffalo Bandits 13-10 Friday night in Buffalo, led by big games from

Some people may have thought a potentially career ending injury suffered in last year's playoffs would negatively affect his scoring touch if and when he came back. Not to worry Jamieson has 61 points so far this year including 21 gaols and 40 massists in 10 games. PHOTO COMPLIMENTS ROCHESTER NIGHTHAWKS

selves two games out of first with Buffalo riding atop the East after Friday night’s games.

“The good thing is we get to back up and do this again tomorrow and get another chance to focus on playing a full 60 (minutes),” said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. And that is exactly what they did, taking down the New England Black Wolves 17-13, Saturday night.

The Wolves attacked as a pack in the first quarter scoring four powerplay goals in building a 5-0 lead before the K-hawks scored its first of the night. New

England closed the first quarter with the Black Wolves ahead 6-1.

But after the short breather between quarters, the Knighthawks turned the tide outscoring their hosts 9-2 to end the half leading 108. It was a huge period for Cody Jamieson, Dan Dawson and Stephen Keogh in particular. Jamieson scored Two and assisted on three, Dawson scored two and assisted on two, and Keoghs cored twice, in the second quarter alone.

The Wolves regrouped at the half and came out hot scoring the first three goals of the period

to retake the lead, 11-10.

But it was Keogh with two, and Dawson regaining the edge late in the quarter.

Keogh kept the ball rolling in Rochester’s direction 24-seconds into the fourth quarter.

The teams traded three goals apiece in the third and Rochester held the Wolves at bay for the win.

In other games Friday, the Toronto Rock continues to fall like a stone with a 15-10 road loss to the Calgary Roughnecks out west.

Meanwhile Saturday

night also saw the Georgia Swarm take a hit from the Saskatchewan Rush, 14-8. Randy Staats scored three and added an assist, and Johnny Powless registered an assist. Lyle Thompson scored one and assisted on one, while Miles Thompson assisted on two in a loosing cause.

Mark Matthews did most of the damage for the Rush scoring four and assisting on four more.

Sunday the Toronto Rock battled for a 9-6 win over Vancouver.

Blast powerplay short circuits - lose Game #1

By Jim Windle STONEY CREEK – The Allan Cup Hockey finals between the Brantford Blast and the Stoney Creek Generals didn’t go exactly the way the Blast wanted, but no one said it was going to be easy.

The Blast dropped Game #1 Saturday night in Stoney Creek, 2-1. In any one goal game, there is always a lot of “if only” moments and for the Blast it was a powerless powerplay. Brantford had seven odd man advantages but could not beat Generals’ Daniel Svedin on any of them.

After falling behind 2-0, after the first 20 minutes of play, Ryan McCarthy put the Blast on the score sheet at 2:10 of the second period. But that would account for all the scoring as Svedin and Anthony Marshall walled up their respective nets from that point on. Svedin stopping 32 of 33 shots and Marshall standing firm on 36 of 38 shots.

It was a good start for the series nonetheless in a fast moving game with several great plays and great saves.

Game #2 of the ACH final is set for this Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Brantford and District Civic Centre. Game #3 is in Stoney the next night at the Gateway Ice Centre also at 7:30 p.m.

The winner of this best of seven series will win a birth at the 2016 Allan Cup playoffs this year held in Steinbach, Manitoba, April 11-16, which puts the best Sr. AAA hockey teams from across Canada head to head for the historic and coveted Allan Cup. The Blast last won the prize in 2008, the 100th anniversary of the chalice. The Allan Cup was donated in early 1909 by Montreal businessman and Montreal Amateur Athletic Association president Sir H. Montagu Allan to be presented to the amateur champions of Canada. It was originally

presented to the Ottawa Cliffsides. The original Cup has been retired to the Hockey Hall of Fame, and a replica is presented to the champions.

The Brantford Alexanders won it in 1977 with current Blast general manager Peter Ham as and important figure as GM of that squad, augmenting his already strong team with a number of retired NHL’ers.

They won the final series against the Spokane Flyers. They made it to the Cup finals the following year but lost in 1978 to the Kimberley Dynamiters in B.C. In 1987, under GM Don Robertson, now GM with the Dundas Real McCoys, the Brantford Motts Clamatos beat the Nelson BC Maple Leafs to bring the Cup back to Brantford.

It wasn’t until 2008 the Allan Cup returned to Brantford after the Brantford Blast defeated the Bentley Alberta Generals in the final at the

Civic Centre.

In 2014, the Dundas Real McCoys won it in Dundas by beating the Clarenville Nova Scotia Caribous in double overtime. Ontario has won the Cup 49 times in its history.

Before professionals

were allowed to play at the Olympics, it was the Allan Cup Sr. AAA winners who represented Canada on the world stage.
