C-10 given Royal Assent, now Canadian law By Jim Windle
SIX NATIONS — The second shoe has hit the floor with the passage of ill last week in ttawa. he controversial bill intended to criminali e those who draw their living from the nkwehon we tobacco trade received royal assent, making it law. here have been diplomatic efforts by Indigenous business people and governing councils to at least stall the ill until the matter can be looked at from a cultural, treaty and Indigenous ights perspective, but to no avail. undreds of Si ations families make their living from the trade of tobacco, which, it is argued,
is protected under many treaties and declarations, including the nited ations eclaration on the ights of Indigenous eoples. It is unclear what the government’s ne t steps will be to force ta ation on the reserve, but there have been many strategy meetings held across Si ations on how to combat the ill and resist it once passed. Si ations olice Services have already stated they will not enforce the law on Si ations territory, considering it to be a politically motivated law directed against nkwehon we rights to free trade and economic development.
here are very few issues which have galvani ed the community more that this intrusive bill. oth the lected and ouncil and the traditional audenosaunee onfederacy hiefs ouncil have reected the arper government’s unilateral ill by way of letters, as have the ohawk orkers. nder the guise of public safety, the bill, reportedly put in place to stem trafficking in contraband tobacco, is the arper government’s latest ploy to derogate from e isting treaty and boriginal rights. It has been seen as a direct attack on irst ations economy and another step towards assimilation. obacco has been

Darlene Necan`s threat of a good example TORONTO ore than people met in the ative anadian entre of oronto on ov. to hear arlene ecan, an ibwe woman, speak about her battle against the ntario inistry of atural esources and orestry. ecan also told the audience of the leadership issues her band faces. In ctober , ecan, a spokesperson for the ibway ation of Saugeen , was handed a stop work order by the as she finished building her house on her family s traditional nishinaabe land. he house rests kilometres south of her reserve, near Savant ake, in an area traditionally known as unorgani ed Indian settlement land, but which the province is claiming as crown land. he is charging her under the ublic ands ct with two counts of constructing a building on public land and breaching a stop work order. he event, organi ed by udrey untley and ike eitold, members of the nti colonial ommittee of the aw nion of ntario, raised funds for ecan s defense, including the , fine she s facing. arious books and crafts highlighting aboriginal culture were auctioned, and indigenous performers, like eonard Sumners, donated portions of their proceeds to the cause. I think arlene s e ample brings us out of the legal realm and to a broader political conte t, said eitold, who is representing ecan pro bono. It s tied to the broader uestion of the struggle for sovereignty, which can t be passive it s not something that can be ust given, it s something that has to be taken. It must be assertive. he region around
Savant ake is also rich in minerals and e tremely important to the province and to the developers trying to e ploit the so called ing of ire in the ames ay owlands in orthern ntario. I suggest that the threat of a good e ample that arlene demonstrates is what is really behind these charges. he government is very unhappy and threatened by the idea of ative people taking their land back, added eitold, which received loud applause and cheering from the crowd full of atives and non natives alike. hen, in an emotional outpouring following a standing ovation, ecan, , took to the stage to share her painful, yet inspiring story. I ve been on this fight for a long time, she began saying, her voice breaking. It s been hard, but I m trying to be brave and keep doing what I m doing... and helping the people... in our reserve. s a residential school survivor, ecan has endured a lifetime of personal turmoil, including losing a son to suicide in and a battle with alcohol and drugs a battle she s won for the last years she s remained sober. ut today, as an off reserve member who finds herself homeless as a result of the s actions, she s also fighting for housing rights for the people of Saugeen . nd she is holding her band s chief accountable for the many hardships they ve endured. ven non native people give money to help reserves, she said. ut we ve never had help from our own ative government. hief dward achimity has been in office since , when the peo-
ple signed him in after being promised housing and obs, said ecan, the same year Saugeen was created under the Indian ct. owever, the living conditions for the registered members, the ma ority of which live off reserve, according to the boriginal ffairs and orthern evelopment anada website, are deplorable. nd because achimity is a customary chief one of the three electoral systems among aboriginal governments he is in for life, which makes it that much harder, said ecan. In , ecan and other members from her band helped build a home for melia Skunk, an elderly woman who lived off reserve in the Savant ake community. ecan said s. Skunk had been living in a dilapidated chicken coop built in the early s and was totally cut off from any help. uring that winter, she had suffered her second case of frostbite, so severe that her socks were sticking to her toes, said ecan. obody was doing anything to help her, even our chief and council were doing nothing. So we took it upon ourselves to build her the house, ecan said. hat year, with some of the materials donated from another elderly man who’d planned on building his own house, but had to stop due to illness, ecan and community members built a home for s. Skunk, where she still lives today. e didn t even get the nails and plywood they had promised us, but we kept going anyway. n onday, ov. of this year, after taking a trip with the to Savant ake, where her boarded up house rests, ecan said she went on acebook to check her
messages. hat was where she saw documents from the newly released irst ations inancial ransparency ct, which shows what she thinks is unfair compensation for achimity. ith only a total of people in the band, according to the website, the vast ma ority who live in poverty, it has come as a surprise to ecan to find out her chief makes a salary of , and has claimed , on his personal e pense account.
So he s partly to blame. ver since money came in, he s turned his back on us, she said. urther complicating matters is the fact that in such a small community, the entire administration is run by the chief s direct family, making it that much harder to log any complaints. is wife is the administrator. heir older daughter is one of the headmen. nd her husband is the police officer, ecan said. eople don t
believe me when I tell them, but it s really how we live.

warm place to stay. ven one place I thought for sure I would be safe resulted in me waking up to a mouth full of someone’s steel toed boot. Still I stayed in it because I didn’t want to face reality. I didn’t want help and most days I didn’t even want to live. I denied or reected the love of anyone close to me and pushed away everyone who was important. he shame I felt inside from being the driver in the car accident and for what I had become after almost eight years of walking on the ed oad was too powerful. I became my own udge, ury and e ecutioner. I was allowing myself to die a slow and painful death. ortunately, that’s over. y the grace of my reator, the love of my family and friends, a combination of western psychology and the spiritual beliefs and cultural practices of our irst ations people, I
am back walking upon the ed oad. here came a day when I had to choose to stop allowing myself to be a victim. I had to start taking responsibility for my life decisions past and present and choose instead to be a victor. I knew I had a lot of work to do in order to reconstruct my life, to heal from the pain I felt inside and to amend the relationships of those I had harmed. h, to look ahead and imagine how many tears, how much time and energy, as well as intense effort, it would take from me was often scary and overwhelming. I will admit many times the fear made me want to run back to what I thought would be easier. I didn’t, though. ne day at a time, I handed over my fears to reator, and though I felt the fear, I put one foot in front of the other anyway. I began my

Walking the Red Road to recovery By Earl Lambert
Si years ago, I was pounds, living on the streets, drunk, high and doing what I had to survive or escape the pain I was living in. he car accident I’d been in had really damaged my head, neck and back, and I couldn’t walk straight because my e uilibrium was off. I could barely speak audibly because I had a raspy whisper of a voice. I couldn’t trust the people I surrounded myself with because they were also in survival mode, feeding off whoever they could to keep their habits fed. here was no sense of loyalty and even if there was, it would be short lived or easily bought out for a small amount of drugs or money. any times I was beaten down and robbed. ther times I was conned or tricked out of what little I had. It was a struggle to find a safe place to sleep and, in the cold of winter, a

ourney back upon the ed oad, and one by one, began con uering my fears. s a result of my decision to take responsibility for my life and put my fear and worries into reator’s hands, I am no longer living on the streets as a worrier I am walking a noble road and living my dreams as a warrior. I may have stumbled and fallen down, but I didn’t stay down because I chose to get up. I may have made many stupid mistakes but I didn’t stay stuck in those mistakes because I chose to learn the lessons I needed to grow. I may have ruined relationships with others along my path of destruction, but I didn’t allow them to be permanently severed because I chose to repair those relationships and make amends where they were due. I have chosen to forgive those who beat me down, robbed me and conned, tricked or manipulated me. I chose to stay
in that way of life and so I chose to deal with the conse uences of what came with it. lus, because I grew up with many of them, I knew them prior to their addictions. I knew it was the drugs and alcohol acting out towards me, not the spirit of those trapped in the clutches of addiction. oday I can only wish them the absolute best of love, healing and health in their futures and that they too, will one day walk the ed oad. o alleviate the intense, painful shame I once felt, I have learned to accept the truth of my past and take full responsibility for my mistakes. I have made and continue to make amends where needed. I know that one of the best gift of amends I can give everyone is changing my behaviour for the better. I also understand the best gift of amends I can give myself is forgiveness. Some days I still have
to consciously forgive myself and remember that it was never my intention in life to get into a car accident or to relapse onto the path of destruction. owever, I choose not to beat myself up with the gavel of guilt and put myself back on trial. y sentence’ has been served and the community service’ I continue to carry out is my career as a motivational speaker and inspirational storyteller, where I am happy to share my e perience, strength and hope with others in the hopes that they, too, will embrace the ama ing way of the life the ed oad has to offer and do what they can to create a bright and beautiful future... ust like I did. y past is but footprints in the paths of my yesterdays. he impression I make on my tomorrows is dependent upon my willingness to focus on the steps I take today.

TWO ROW TIMES EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP SERIES
Started from the bottom now we’re here By Paula Hill nybody who has ever been in a leadership role will attest to this you have to be prepared to fail a few times along the way because you absolutely will. ut even more so, you have to be strong enough to brush yourself off after you fall and get back on the right track. his week’s interview for effective leadership focuses on rystal iller’s story of addictions, family and the long ourney towards healing. rystal iller is years old and she has successfully been a business owner of the popular salon rystal’s air are on rie ve in rantford for the past five years. er business success was recently recogni ed by both nterprise rant and Si ations ouncil. ut her story has not always been one of success. In fact, for most of her life, iller has struggled with overwhelming

She recalls a girl’s night out with co workers and a discussion of what everyone’s happiest time was. iller was embarrassed because she could not think of one happy story to tell of her life, so she ust made a story up. In her s, she
abused alcohol and over the counter prescription drugs. Soon after her marriage ended, her drug misuse turned to a serious addiction to crack cocaine. She had used alcohol to mask any uncomfortable emotions, but when she was introduced to crack cocaine, the drug completely numbed her to her emotions and she spent her time ust chasing that high.
She hustled, borrowed and stole in order to support her addiction, until landing in ail for a day sentence for stealing from a family member. lthough drugs were prevalent in the ail, she chose not to use. eing clean for those few days removed the fog of addiction sufficiently for iller to uestion what she had done to her family. She felt e treme remorse and
guilt. She had to get away from the reserve for a few years to do some healing. iller does not pretend that the healing process was easy or pretty. She e perienced relapses and still struggles with the occasional urge to drink. She has been clean since , but even so, up until recently, she had trouble handling her emotions. She would often fly off the handle or she could hold a grudge for several months at a time. he difference today is that she knows she wants to change that. ith the help of the right counsellor, she now she sees her progress in trying to change that. She is learning coping skills, and she says, I can’t believe how hard it is. She uses a lot of positive self talk and she has learned to identify her emotions. She has family that she knows she can call to help her process her emotions when she
gets overwhelmed. er entire family has changed with her. hey can talk more openly now. hey have learned about addictions and their role in the dysfunction. iller very bluntly states her advice to families currently struggling with addiction. She said, o learn about addictions so you know e actly what you’re coming up against. earn about enabling, because if you’re going to enable a person, you might as well ust go dig a grave for that person because you’re ust helping them kill themselves. hen asked what life will be like in five years, iller stated, ow old will I be . ell I’ll still be using il of lay. aving reached many goals that she never thought she would attain, such as her business and owning her own home, right now she ust hopes for a continued healthy, happy future.

Who do you think I are? By Nahnda Garlow hen I was in high school I became friends with this Iranian kid named e . e was a first generation anadian. is parents fled Iran because of religious persecution and somehow they ended up in rantford. I was the first real ative person he’d ever met from Si ations. verybody thought e was a cool guy. e was hilariously funny and he had a car, so he became the defacto designated driver for our whole crew of friends. ne particular summer day we were hanging out at airy ueen, eating illy ars and laughing up a storm. It was getting late and I had to make my way back down to the re , but e wanted to keep hanging out so he offered to drive me home so we could chat the night away some more. e took the long way home. y car, the trip from rantford to the re is about twenty minutes, but we took full advantage of being si teen and having the car and the night so we cruised It was awesome. he summer night was warm and humid. here was not a cloud in the sky. I could see a million stars on our drive home. e listened to house music, smoked cigarettes and talked about cool things like od and who we had crushes on totally embracing the moment of being si teen, having some freedom and being good friends. I’ve never been to the reserve before. It’s so dark out here. his is scary, e said. hat I laughed at him.
hat’s scary about it ell, you know, all the magic and witches and curses and stuff, he replied. ow, I was only si teen, so I didn’t have the knee erk reaction of smacking him upside the head yet. hat are you talking about e y here’s no demons or witches on the re . his is ust like rantford but with more trees.

true at all, I said. I was trying to be patient with him because I could see that he was legitimately scared, so like a good friend, I changed the sub ect and we sat on the hood of his car in my parents’ driveway talking about cool things for a while longer. ow that particular summer night like many other summer nights on Si the air became thick with humidity and a dewy mist started to pour in all around our feet. nice, thick fog was ust starting to creep up the hill from back the bush when I raised my hand in the air, smiled and said, ey I can feel the night dew. hat is when my cool Iranian friend umped up and started running around the car in circles, screaming like a little girl and yelling frantically at me in ersian. hat I shouted back. et away from me, you witch e yelled in nglish this time. I knew it I knew
at him, but also angry at whoever started the rumour that Si ations was a dangerous place for a year old Iranian kid to be. e came from Iran is parents fled the country because of religious persecution. is people were being rounded up like cattle and hung en masse because they did not recant their faith and pledge allegiance to an Islamic State and somebody told him that the re was a dangerous place ood grief ’ I thought. ventually we sorted out his fau pas. I tried to convince him that I was not a witch and that there were no demons in the air on the re . or a while I think he believed me. ut from that day forward, he always looked at me kinda sideways, like he was doubting my sanity. ikewise, I never felt like cruising around with him again and talking about cool stuff because he wound up being so ghant.

Your Voice Is Important Our Community, Our Future, Let’s Talk About It
Alcohol Regulation and potential Brewery to be discussed via Six Nations community engagement process Six Nations of Grand River Territory – Six Nations Elected Council is pleased to announce the launch of community engagement to determine community support for the creation of an Alcohol Regulation and a Brewery at Six Nations. Six Nations Economic Development was approached by IPA Enterprises Inc. of Waterloo,On with an economic opportunity to be a majority partner in the Brewery to be located at the Oneida Business Park. It is anticipated that this business will generate approximately $2.2 to $4 million in annual revenues for Six Nations within 4 years of operation. The Brewery expects to create approximately 145 jobs during this period. The creation of this project would also require a waterline expansion on Fourth Line from Stoneridge to Oneida Business Park, in which IPA Enterprises has dedicated $2 million dollars towards this initiative. The Alcohol Regulation is being modeled after the Kahnawa:ke Alcohol Law. This regulation would require the formation of a commission composed of qualified Six Nations community members to issue and enforce alcohol permits within the community. This approach will allow Six Nations to control and regulate the production, distribution and sale of alcohol in the community. Contrary to popular belief, Six Nations has not officially been deemed a “Dry Community”. The community engagement process has been designed to provide a balanced perspective of the issues, benefits and opportunities that these projects may include, and provides a community wide mechanism to gather feedback that will help guide the Six Nations Elected Council now and in the future. “I encourage all of the community members to take part in this important process. Your opinion does matter and it is our hope that many people will come out to the community information sessions and also take part in the planned referendum.” said Chief Ava Hill. The community engagement process will run from November 17th, 2014 to January 17th, 2015 and will conclude with a community Referendum to be held at the Six Nations community hall. Over the course of two months there will be three (3) community meetings and eight (8) information sessions for community members to attend for more information and discussion. The Community Meetings will be open forum meetings with a formal presentation and an open question and answer period. The information sessions are open house style forums with a personal one-on-one discussion with staff and representatives from IPA. Community members can visit www.snfuture. com to get more information about the project and to share their feedback.

This project became operational in September 2014
This project become operational in March 2013.
Each project will be generating 10MW of renewable energy, which is enough to supply approximately 1200 homes for a year.
COMMUNYITY BENEFITS A one time payment of $432,892.73 based on the net present value of $2000/Mw for 20 years, for both projects combined. A full presentation and supporting documents can be found at www.snfuture.com
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can this power be used to offset the hydro in our homes? Power generated from these projects are sold into the Ontario Hydro One power infrastructure to be used wherever the system needs it. At this time, Hydro One is not willing to provide the administration required to provide a subsidy for the bills of Six Nations members. We hope to be able to provide a solution and provide subsidies in the future.
Why is this coming to the community when the projects are so far along? SunEdison believed that they had fulfilled their duty to consult and accommodate. When they attempted to sell the Norfolk Bloomsburg project to current owners (Firelight Infrastructure Partners) Six Nations sent a letter to Firelight to make them aware that SunEdison had not fulfilled their legal duties.
Where does the money go? A trust is currently being assembled to disburse funds to community priorities. Currently the Charter/TOR for the trust is being drafted. It is anticipated that the selection process for the Board of Trustee will happen in the early part of 2015. If you would like further information on the trust, or would be interested in serving as a trustee please contact us.

She first started

In addition to winning anada’s most prestigious music award, aga ’s uni ue vocali ations have caught the attention of Icelandic superstar rk, who has invited her on tour and asked her to sing on
some of her recordings. aga has released four critically acclaimed albums, beginning with Sinaa , uk lood , a live recording called unuraa utu in and her latest creation, nimism, which she won the olaris ri e for.

Expulsion of Native elder from Edmonton Mall sparks outrage By Tim Reynolds TREATY SIX n ctober ary oostoos, also known as ed ock and our egged uman, from the Sturgeon ake oodland ree nation in lberta, captured national media attention when he was un ustly banned from the ity entre all in dmonton for si months. ary oostoos spoke with the Two Row Times about his ordeal. bout a year before this happened, I was involved in another incident at the very same mall in the food court, says oostoos. I placed an order at the , then another man placed the same order after me and received it first. hen another man, who was white, ordered the same meal and he also got his order before me, so I asked, hat’s going on here with my order ’ he second customer who got
the order before me started swearing at me and being insulting. I was calm about it and asked, hy swear at me ’ e asked for the all security to come, but it took a while for them to show up and the man was gone by then. Security found the man eating with his kids in the food court. he man falsely accused me of scaring his kids. is children were not in the restaurant when it happened and I suggested that the security cameras would show that I was telling the truth. It became clear that security wasn’t going to do anything about it and the man was laughing at me. I didn’t react because I knew it wouldn’t get me anywhere. oostoos regularly went to the mall to meet up with homeless clients since he is an outreach worker. n ctober , about a year after the incident another
incident occurred. wo security guards approached me and asked for my name, stating that I looked suspicious. itnesses said that 8-10 security guards came eventually to escort me out. If I would have reacted that day in the way they wanted me to, they would have taken me down and handcuffed me, says oostoos. hat would have been embarrassing, like it has been for other boriginal people at that mall. I accepted the ban to not give them that reaction they wanted. Since then, the ban has caught national media attention, even getting discussed in ttawa in parliament by inda uncan, the for dmonton Strathcona. uncan stated in arliament that oostoos was sub ected to public humiliation and is emotionally wounded as a result.
he mall has offered an apology, but there are still unanswered uestions. as this elder targeted because he looked boriginal hat direction was security given Is the intention to keep the homeless and traumati ed out on the street and out of the mall n ovember , , a ceremony and a public apology happened at ity entre all, which is owned by ford properties. hose in support of ary oostoos reminded ford properties that it hasn’t done due diligence to consult the indigenous people of reaty with running the mall business on their territory. hey
also pointed out that ford properties had no urisdiction to ban anyone on that property and demanded an end to racial profiling. ity entre eneral anager lympia rencevski apologi ed to r. oostoos, saying, I want to look into yours eyes and I want to tell you from my heart to yours that I sincerely apologi e for hurting your feelings and I’m sorry for what happened to you. It was unacceptable, it was a mistake, I am sorry. I also want to say sorry to the community at large and the feeling, the pain that you felt. Moostoos was hesitant in his response, say-
ing, I appreciate the apology but there is a lot of work to be done. I cannot at this time say that I accept the apology I appreciate the apology. hen asked why he didn’t accept the apology, oostoos stated, I lived a life of broken promises and broken words. In my tradition, if you create trust and respect first, then there’s an apology. hen we gain trust and gain respect back, then we apologi e. hey sent a representative of the company, not the security guards, to apologi e. year old could have apologi ed in that case, so it’s not correct. e need to stop reacting and start acting.

The Indigenous experience in two world wars By Sheila Staats
When the Spirits Dance: A Cree Boy’s Search for the Meaning of War by award winning authors arry oyie and onstance rissenden is a children’s non fiction book about a ree family during the Second orld ar. arry oyie grew up with his e tended family in abbit ill in northern lberta. In , when arry was eight, the family’s traditional lifestyle was interrupted as the need for an increased anadian war effort reached Slave ake in lberta. he oyie family understood the call for all able bodied men to enlist in anada’s army. espite the fact that ictor and arie oyie had nine children and that ictor had gladly served during the irst orld ar, the anadian rmed orces called up the year old ree father. he days of living off the bounty of the land with parents and elders teaching the children were over.
his narrative, told through arry’s eyes, e plains how the family rationed food, collected birch sap and waited for any news from the battlefield. he women, their children and the elders had to survive on the scarce game and the rationing of staples such as sugar, butter and tea. arry helped his family survive without their father by drawing on the traditional knowledge taught by his parents and grandparents. oming to terms with the uncertainty of war and the fear of losing their father were additional lessons for the children. he family dealt with the threat of army deserters who had escaped in the Slave ake area, as well. he wisdom of their okum and osoom helped the family live through the difficult months. hroughout the story, the authors have woven facts about how the war years changed the life of one ree community. eachings about the en-
vironment and the vision uest become vital parts of the narrative. he reality of the Second orld ar is highlighted by the inclusion of black and white family photographs and images of the community in northern lberta. olour photographs showing the landscape and the orthern ights add to the feeling that other arth is central to the story. his pre uel to As Long As the Rivers Flow: A Last Summer Before Residential School is the second book in the awrence Series about arry oyie’s life. he story contains themes that e amine the meaning of war for young children, the contributions made by courageous irst ations veterans, the importance of traditional knowledge and respect for the environment. his uni ue page title brings to life the impact of orld ar on irst ations from a personal perspective.

Get outta bed oats! By Joe Farrell
hen I’m feeling down and out, a good meal has the power to lift my spirits. ood food made with love is a precious gift that can be easily taken for granted. ade with a good mind, it is medicine for the mind, body and soul. his past weekend I was feeling pretty down due to the untimely death of my dear pet cat, enry. y sweet, beloved grey tabby was hit by a car on hursday. ith my heart feeling like it had been run over on my new street, my girlfriend’s ad prepared a delicious roast beef Sunday dinner for his family and me. ith all of us e claiming ust how much we needed
the warmth and richness of a rump roast dinner, he e plained that in his opinion, food made with passion simply tastes better. er father shared that he comes from a amaican family that really cares about food, as they were farmers and like spice and you can taste their passion for food when they cook. ood is a powerful thing. It has the ability to comfort us by transporting us back in time through its look, aromas and flavours. It also has the ability to dredge up negative emotions attached to e periences. I like to focus on positive food memories and the power it has to heal. he good food we eat when we’re scattered, disheart-
ened, grieving has a powerful impact on our mental, physical and spiritual state of being. hot bowl of soup on a cold winter’s day can warm us up and help us carry on no matter the weather. ood used as a mechanism of control through deprivation of the love and nutrients it provides is a very real thing, and there are many threats to our food systems that are resulting in illness and food related diseases. here are many comfort foods that I immediately think of when my body needs nourishing, my mind and spirit a lift. ot cereal is one that I eat all year, it fills me up and sticks to my bones as I get ready for a hard day’s work. It also gets me into
a good mindset for my day. hese cereals take many shapes and forms. ny grain from corn to wheat can be made into a hearty, healthy meal eaten any time of the day. staple in my home is eating uick oats with apple, maple syrup, cinnamon and butter. hen I have it available, I will cook rolled oats, steel cut oats or a mi ture of ancient grains. lu ury is adding hemp hearts
or chia seeds for added protein. y girlfriend has lately been adding roasted pumpkin puree and chai tea spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg to her oatmeal with a protein boost of walnuts or pumpkin seeds. ere are some basic guidelines to making creamy and hearty oatmeal. y girlfriend has not so great childhood memories of bland, lumpy cream of wheat or ed
iver ats forced on her before Sunday school by her grandma. I assure you with some passion, love and creativity, you can make your hot breakfast cereal a dining e perience that both you and the children in your life will ump out of bed for. e creative and play with fun breakfast cereal toppings, and please share at tworowtimes.com.

In Memoriam
Lisa Amy Martin June 12, 1969 – Nov. 14, 2006 The years may wipe out many things, But this they’ll wipe out never, The memory of those happy days, When we were all together. We think of Lisa in silence, Lisa’s name we oft recall, But there’s nothing left to answer, But Lisa’s picture on the wall. Just when Lisa’s life was the brightest, Just when Lisa’s hopes were best, God called Lisa from among us, To a home of eternal rest. Loving you always, Mom & Dad Lil John, Stewart, Shelby, Ceaton
