Same work same pay? By Chezney Martin
ONTARIO – The average length of three previous strikes ensued by college faculty is 21 days. Thousands of students across Ontario have had their post-secondary education put on hold during the labour dispute between Ontario colleges and the union that represents college instructors for more than two weeks. Regarding the main barrier fueling the dispute — 40 years ago the ratio was 70 per cent full-time and 30 per cent part-time for occasional contract teachers and those with full-time status. The ratio is now reversed, leaving many other faculty and students simply hoping for negotiations to continue. “I hope both sides get back to the bargaining table as soon as possible for the benefit of all students,” said Elijah Williams, Indigenous Initiative Co-ordinator at Sheridan College. So who is on strike? The strikers consist of roughly 12,000 instruc-
tors that are represented by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU), which has more than 130,000 members and a $72 million strike fund. The colleges are represented by the College Employer Council, which has negotiated on behalf of all Ontario colleges since 2008. Roughly 50 years ago, bargaining was done through a council whose members were appointed by the Minister of Education when colleges were first established. But today, the Employer Council is independent of government. In fact, government funding accounts for 44 per cent of all the revenue colleges raise from 52 per cent in 2008. But let us not forget that there are more than 200,000 students being negatively affected by the strike itself. And what do the strikers want? The OPSEU wants to see a reduction in the percentage of part-time instructors, which will ensure that part-time instructors
make up only half of all college faculty. The union also wants more job security and a ladder hierarchy — the union says instructors should be hired based on their seniority and experience, and new teachers should only be considered if current qualified instructors turn down an opening. But the Employer Council has countered the union's demands by considering this would add $250 million to the costs of running the schools. There is also disagreement over the union's request that the contract should include academic freedom protection. As the union versus the system rages on with the baseline being “it's for the students” during negotiations, it is the students — and in particular post-secondary students from Six Nations — that are simply caught in the smoke. “The strike has been putting me under a lot of pressure as a student,” said Tiffany Bomberry, Bachelor of Film and Television at Sheridan College.
“It feels as though I'm being relied on to teach myself the content while I wait for this to blow over. I understand that some people may believe that if I really wanted to be in my program I'd stay focused and complete assignments according to their deadlines, but I work better in a school or classroom setting, surrounded by the content with people who also enjoy the subject. “If I'm paying to go to school, then I'd like to get what I'm paying for; if not then at least a refund for the days missed. The whole situation is stressful for us students. What's going to happen when the strike ends? I don't even want to think about the time crunch.” And not only is it difficult for students to keep focused and diligent while out of the classroom, they may also have concerns regarding the aftermath they will be left with after the strike finalizes. “The strike has been CONTINUED ON PAGE 8
Group condemns protestors as racist
NIAGARA FALLS — An anti-racism group is publicly condemning the yearly hunting protests on Haudenosaunee traditional territory — saying it is racist. Niagara’s Anti-Racism Coalition posted an open letter Monday morning to their Facebook page saying opposition to the deer hunt at Short Hills Park is “supporting the worst parts of Canada’s racist legacy”.
The letter also says “Antagonizing a group of people because you believe that your group’s views are superior is the very definition of racism. We formally condemn the anti-Indigenous opposition to the hunt.” The Deer Cull at the Short Hills park near Niagara Falls has been protested for years by animal rights activists taking aim at indigenous hunting rights at the park.

Accused found guilty in death of Six Nations mother By Jim Windle
BRANTFORD – A Six Nations man was found guilty in the death of Six Nations woman Jolene Styres-Doxtater. Styres was killed after being struck by the vehicle Clinton Doolittle was driving on November 12, 2015. Doolitle told the court he thought he hit a deer. A jury found Doolittle guilty of dangerous operation of a vehicle but not guilty on the expected charges of criminal negligence causing death and failing to remain at the scene of an accident causing death. Doolittle admitted in the trial he was texting while driving when he hit and killed Styres. Thir t y-t wo-year-old Jolene Styres-Doxtater

Clint Doolittle was found guilty of dangerous operation of a vehicle in the death of 32-year -old Jolene Styres. Doolittle will be sentenced later this month. FILE PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE
LISTEN ONLINE
Jolene Styres was 32 years old when she was hit and killed by a car driven by Clint Doolittle. She was a married mother of two with a "heart of gold". PHOTO FACEBOOK/ DEYODAWENYE JILL STYRES left her home to walk for a coffee between 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. She was reported missing at 4 a.m. and her body was found by police at about 5 a.m. near the Lone Wolf coffee shop, owned by her recently deceased father. That was the night of Nov. 12, 2015. Clint Doolittle, 46, of Six Nations, was charged with criminal negligence causing death, dangerous operation of a vehicle and failing to stop at an accident after turning himself in to Six Nations Police the next morning, reporting that he thought he may have hit a deer the night before. Doolittle’s defence lawyer Gerry Smits says that his client had “an honest and reasonable belief that he did not strike a person that night, but a deer." Assistant Crown attorney Derek Zuraw, was not accepting that as a

fact, instead pointing out that Doolittle was texting messages, while speeding along Fourth Line Road. “And not only was Doolittle aware that he had hit a person but he took steps to escape criminal liability.” Evidence shows that, after the accident, Doolittle went to a friend's house with a smashed and bloodied windshield and shards of glass on the floor of his Dodge Charger, before going home and calling police. Police evidence showed Doolittle in fact was speeding somewhere between 88km/h and 99km/h in a 50 km/h zone. While at the friend’s house, he did not mention the collision, which seemed odd to Zuraw, saying that Doolittle's story is "completely unbelievable". "He said he didn't want to burden her but he spoke for an hour about
his other troubles?" questions Zuraw. He rejected the notion put forth by the Crown that Doolittle was looking for a way to escape liability for the woman’s death. "If you're trying to escape liability, you don't call the police and advise them of the location of the accident and give your address and park your significantly damaged vehicle in your driveway. His behaviour was consistent with an individual who believed he had struck a deer," argued Smits. Styres was a mother of two special needs boys according to family member Carla Miller. Jolene was married to Daniel Doxtador and she worked for eleven years at Six Nations Parks & Recreation and for Wolf's Den. At the time of her death, sister Deyodawenye Jill Styres remembered her with a story on Facebook, "My sister was walking home one day last year. She found a wallet. Inside was over $2000. She found the owner and returned it to him. This man stopped by today to pay his respects and asked Dan to meet the boys. He was so grateful, and hugged both boys soooo tight. This brought tears to my eyes. The Heart of gold my sister had." Clinton Doolittle will appear in court on November 23rd for sentencing.

Six arrested: Stolen vehicle, seven firearms, and stolen property recovered By TRT staff The Brantford Police Service investigated an increased number of Break and Enter occurrences to residential properties in the month of October. The BPS Street Crime Unit began an investigation into these reports. On October 16, 2017 a vehicle was reported stolen from a residence on Passmore Court and believed to have been used during other break and enters. On October 29, 2017 the stolen vehicle was observed by police parked in the area of Charlotte Street and Sheridan Street. The vehicle was unoccupied at the time. Members of the BPS Street Crime Unit set up surveillance on the stolen vehicle and shortly before 6:00 p.m. observed two of the accused exit a residence on Sheridan Street and attend to the stolen vehicle where they were arrested. Officers then attended
to the residence on Sheridan Street where four other individuals were located inside the residence and arrested as part of this investigation. During the arrest accused No. 1 was found to be in possession of 5.47 grams of Crystal Methamphetamine with a street value of $820.50 along with more than $3000 cash. Accused No. 2 was found to be in possession of 0.34 grams of Crystal Methamphetamine ($50), 2.46 grams of marijuana ($25) and 4.02 grams of fentanyl ($1005). The BPS Street Crime Unit secured the home while a warrant to search was sought. On the morning of October 30, 2017 a search warrant was executed at the home and a large amount of property believed to be stolen was seized including seven firearms. Investigation revealed that two of the firearms had been re-
ported stolen. Detectives from the Street Crimes Unit continue to investigate this incident and to identify the rightful owners of the seized property believed to have been taken from previous Break and Enters. The Street Crimes Unit has been successful in matching up some of the seized property with its owners and been returned. The Street Crimes Unit is seeking the public’s assistance in helping to identify several of the items seized which includes two gun safes and a number of vehicle and construction equipment keys. If you believe you are the rightful owner of these items or have information relating to this investigation you are urged to call Detective Jeff Lawson of the BPS Street Crime Unit at 519-7560113 ext. 2282 or jlawson@police.brant ford. on.ca.

OPINION
Trauma-porn hard to control in smart phone age EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW In December of 2009 a serious car accident shut down Chiefswood Road for an entire day. A young woman got behind the wheel of her SUV heavily intoxicated and angry. A short time later the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree going way too fast. The driver and front passenger were ejected from the vehicle. One of the rear passengers was wearing a seatbelt and was killed instantly. His name was Jeremy. Following the accident a photographer from a local paper took pictures of the crash investigators and the scene. That week those photos were front page news. Jeremy’s mother was still grieving her boy when she saw those photos on display— placed on the store counter between the gum and the lottery tickets — selling for a dollar a piece. It was an unnecessary violation of privacy. While we do occasionally publish photos sent to us to assist our storytelling, TRT doesn’t send reporters to capture images from the scene of an accident as it is unfolding.
But we have seen a disturbing trend lately— increasingly gruesome photos of unfolding crisis scenes from Six Nations emerging on social media. The internet has a word for this: trauma porn. The Journal of Emergency Services says all scene photography should only be done with equipment owned by the service and that departments should restrict photography by workers on their private cell phones. Six Nations Fire Chief Matt Miller says there are similar regulations on Six Nations. First responders are not permitted to take personal photos at the scene of a crisis. Miller says that while occasionally photos are officially released to media by the service — the only photo or video taken at the scene by Six Nations firefighters are those captured for “supervisory and investigative purposes”. Miller says the Six Nations Police and Emergency Responders work together at the scene of an accident or fire with first responders securing the “hot zone” and tending to victims and mitigating the crisis while Six
Nations Police secure the scene to protect the safety and privacy of those present. Miller says restricting media and public photography is a hard thing to control in a society filled with smartphones and quick internet access. First responders at a scene do not prioritize who is snapping pics, nor should they. Controlled release of official images by first responders to media has a purpose. For example: local police send us photos of wanted individuals when they need help from the public. Fire officials need to educate the community about things like a suspected arsonist and as a media company we know that photos convey powerful messages when words fail. But there needs to be community protections in place so that while Six Nations first responders are doing their jobs — victims of a crisis are not objectified in the spirit of voyeurism. Let me be clear again: it’s not okay to exploit victims at the scene of a crisis by taking photos — even if those photos are not being shared by anyone.

When it bites back
By Quin Staats Sometimes, a person can find themselves lost in a limitless variation of different possible scenarios. It doesn’t take much for the human mind to become overconfident, thinking it knows all the ins-and-outs of something in particular or a master of something specific. Even worse, is the know-it-all — we’ve all met one of those before. For me, a rude awakening (or rather, self-realization) came from a situation in which I was overconfident in my knowledge of Nature and all its mysteries: how to master the unknown. I felt like a kid in a snowglobe shop, quickly snapped back to reality with a jerk on my arm, right before my fingers touched the precious glass. “Look with your eyes, not your hands!”, or “If you break it we have to buy it!” My strong connection and knowledge of the forces and energies around me led me to ignorantly disregard my place as a specific part of the entire circle and the whole picture. I grew too confident in my ability to harness these energies and the ability to summon my inner Creator. Yes, we are all connected in

one grand cosmic inner soul of existence, but we still have our individual spots in the chain. Our feet can step on and kill an ant — but a dog could chomp your hand to little pieces in the blink of an eye. And that is exactly what happened to me. I almost lost a pinky finger to the strict, reminder “back hand” of Nature. This wasn’t an interaction with Mother Nature herself, rather a brother: my brother-in-nature: a dog. He could have bit my finger off completely — but he didn’t. He bit me hard enough; however, that I could hear words under his bark and bite, leaving me with a Franken-finger reminder of the moment when I felt superior to an animal. People are prone to feel sorry for themselves and play victim to the tribulations they face, inconsiderate of the fact that we all face tribulation. For me, this experience was an opportunity to open my mind and heart even further in the understandings of which I thought I had about Nature and my fellow counterparts — instead of blaming them. My overbearance and overconfidence of my connection to Nature endangered me as I ignored my place. I was lost in the bounty of my acquired wisdom, and instead of respecting it and honouring it I tried to control it. In that single moment when the dog bit me, I think I thought I was better than him and knew him, when in fact I didn’t know anything at all about his soul. And that’s why he bit me. Wouldn’t you bite too? … I’m almost certain I would. Signed: put back in her place, from the Dog House

Reading someone's mail:
From documents held in the Canadian Archives April 2, 1803 To Joseph Brant from Samuel Peters;
Years may have banished me out of the temple of your memories, but I have not yet forgotten you, Sir William Johnson, his lady, and children. You will graciously receive this letter which is to inform you that I esteem and reverence the virtues of Great Hendrick, yourself, and those of the Mohawk nation and their allies in aiding and assisting their enemies to rob them of their territory and country, and compelling them to seek shelter and lands amongst the Ottawas and Mississaugas, formerly their enemies, by the arts and intrigues of the French. The Christian rulers are good and excellent; yet few Christians of the Roman and Protestant kind love or practice those rules — what is remarkable to me is that
popes, bishops, nobles and kings who ought to be wise in doctrine and example, are the greatest strangers and enemies of Christianity. The reason of such conduct, no doubt, is pride. Yet Solomon, in wisdom great, says, “Pride was not made for man.” I conclude, therefore, that great men in state and church, having robbed Lucifer of his pride, they stole all his cruelty and became legislations; made laws to deprive the multitude of rational freedom, and plunder without sin, because they are honest and good; and not Christians. The Pope in 1492, gave, by his Bull to the King of Spain, all America, only because the Pope was, by his claim, the successor of Christ to whom God had given the heathen for his inheritance, and the western parts of the earth for his possession. Had the Apostles and
Christian Bishops, for the first 600 years understood Christ’s words, that he has “other sheep that are not of this fold,” which he will gather, the Pope would not have been content with the triple crown, which represents Asia, Africa, and Europe, but would have put on a quadruple crown to include America. It is evident that Christ commissioned his 12 apostles to teach and baptize the people in Asia, Africa and Europe, but not in America, for Christ said to them, “I have other sheep which are not of this fold, them will I gather in,” and not depend on the twelve apostles to do that benevolent work. “What right then, would the Pope in 1493 have over America when his … and the other 11 apostles hold no commission in America or over America. Hence, as the King of Spain had no valid title to America from the
Pope, what right has the King of England in and over America, who is an excommunicated heretic from the Church of Rome. I conclude that the people of America, belonging to the fold of Christ, not to the fold of the 12 apostles, because God gave America to Christ Ps.2 vs 8. (Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.) The Pope, kings and bishops in the old world, have not, and never had any divine authority in America over Christ’s sheep, the Gentiles; of course they are usurpers, robbers and deceivers. I consider you sir, as the Chief of the Mohawks, and the other five nations of Indians, the legal and just owners of the country lying between the waters St. Laurence, Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Champlain, and Hudson’s River to the forks of Susque-
hannah, which you have lust for fighting your gentile brethren in behalf of English Christians and the good and honourable Mississauga have, in part, lost their country for fighting you, their gentile brethren, in behalf of French Christians. Thus I see you and the Mississaugas have been crucified like Christ between two thieves (re) Jews and Romans. I have seen so much of Christian knavery and policy that I am sick of Europe, which loves war and hates peace; Therefor, I want and want and long to have a wigwam near Great Pontiac, King by divine right of the Mississauga Nation and Tribes near Detroit and Lake Michigan. Great Pontiac has adopted my grandson Nikik, Samuel Peters Jarvis. Should you . it proper to explain my obligations to Great Britain and thereby induce the Great chief Pontiac to fraternize
me also, I will go with Nikik to Michigan and teach Nikik the rules and laws, how he shall defend in all charges his brethren and sisters of the Mississauga Nation. [NOTE: writer was not aware of Pontiac’s death] I beg you to accept a portrait of Nikik, a Captain and Prince of the Mississauga by creation of Great Pontiac; as I suppose he is successor of the wise and Great Pontiac, king and lord of that country A.D. 1760. I know you and your generosity and benevolence, and therefor ask you to accept my gratitude, and to give me (via) Mr. Jarvis, such an answer as your goodness shall dictate to be due to, Sir. Your friend and servant,
Samuel Peters

Same work, same pay? From page 2 very frustrating for the extended amount of time it has been happening,” said Alexandra Oliver, Police Foundations at Sault College. “I understand why the professors are protesting, and they have a right to, I just wish it wouldn’t affect my education as much as it has. The work load in college is large so any missed days can be hard to catch up, considering we are on week three of the strike you could imagine how much students will be behind when finally returning to class. It is very stressful, I have heard that other students have thought about dropping their semester, if the strike goes on longer than a month. “It’s hard not to be worried about our studies. I do not want my school year being extended into the summer which has been talked about in articles pertaining to the strike. Considering that I have a summer job, and my lease for my apartment is up in May, how am I expected to go to class when I don’t have a place to live? I want to be in class, I want to be learning. I’m trying to stay optimistic that the colleges and the teachers will come to an agree-
ment and I can get back to class.” Yet there are some students that understand the side their instructors are on, but are still finding their studies difficult to manage. “I don't mind the strike because I believe the reasons why they are striking are good,” Samuel Williams, Sheridan College. “It's affecting me as a student because I have no idea what is going on in my classes except for the work we were given before the strike. I just hope the graduating students this year are able to achieve the learning outcome for this semester on time without needing extra coursework.” Thousands of students have already signed a petition asking for fee refunds of $40 for each day that the strike continues. However, the government has said that it hopes a short strike will minimize lost class time and refunds will not be necessary. But rumours of the strike lasting for months after failed negotiations is up in the air and may counter those hopes in future. A better and more pliable solution to help refund students will need to be found.

GROWING OUR COMMUNITY’S FUTURE
An American botanist, J. N. H. Hewitt, interviewed a Tuscarora medicine man in 1888, asking for some of his healing remedies. The following are from notes he made and are housed in the Bureau of American Ethnology. Although we find the cures are an interesting look into the past, but we do not in any way endorse their use. Diaper rash: To cure and prevent the chaffing of infants in the armpits and in the scrotal parts between the legs, the powdered dry leaves of the common strawberry plant (Fragaria Virgininnia and Fragaria Vesca), are sprinkled on the parts at every washing of the child. Diapers: Before the use of clothing among the Iroquois, the spikes of the common Cattail, or Reed-mace, Typha latifolia, or Typhaceae, were gathered and dried
and the down used for diapers for infants. When there was an action of the bowels a part of the down was cast away with the excreta. The down in a sufficient quantity made a soft and warm wrapping for the infant’s stomach and hips.
Water Retention: For Dropsy or water retention, Indian Hemp, Apocynum Cannabinum, Pentandria Diggnia, Nat. Ord. Apocinaceae, is used as a cathartic (providing psychological relief through the open expression of strong emotions; causing catharsis. Could also mean a purging agent, to cause vomiting.) Four bundles of the plants are put into one quart of water is allowed to boil away to about onehalf. When it has become cold, it is then given to the patient in doses of two mouthfuls at a time, four times a day. This drives out the water from the

body, which soon regains its normal condition.
Sprain: The inner bark of the roots of Climbing Bittersweet, Celastrus Seandens, Nat. Ord. Celastraceae, is used in the form of a hot fomentation and applied to the sprain, wound or broken bone.
Diarrhea: The root of the common blackberry, Rubus occidentalis, are used in (cases of) diarrhea. A large handful of the roots are put into about a quart of water, which must be allowed to boil or simmer away to one-half. Then the extract is given to the patient Two mouthfuls are taken until the diarrhea ceases. This is the end of this series. We hope it was interesting to our readers to see how dependent the old ones were on the provisions of the Creator.

The CBC is reporting that Ontario’s plan for setting a retail price on recreational marijuana will be around $10 per gram, when it becomes legal in 2018. Finance Minister Charles Sousa offered some rough estimates last week. "The intent is to have some uniformity with these prices across Canada," said Sousa. The government of New Brunswick announced deals with two suppliers on Friday for about 9,000 kilograms of marijuana (about nine million grams) in the first year. Press releases by the companies involved estimated the total retail value of the agreements at $80 million to $100 mil-

Family says at hearings that a 'white passing' appearance alters police reaction The Canadian Press MEMBERTOU, N.S. — Family members of a murdered Inuk woman said Monday that merely appearing to be white often heightens police and public interest in a crime or missing person case involving an aboriginal person. Loretta Saunders' sister Delilah Saunders and their mother Meriam made the comments as they described the 26-year-old woman's life and violent death — and the lessons her activism has sparked in their own lives. They were speaking during the first of three days of hearings being held by the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Membertou First Nation in Cape Breton. Saunders' body was found at the side of a New Brunswick highway in
a bag in February 2014, leading to murder convictions against Halifax residents Blake Leggette and his girlfriend Victoria Henneberry. The pair killed Saunders after they ran into financial difficulties and were unable to pay rent they owed her. Meriam Saunders said that in the early days of the investigation of her daughter's death, police advertised the case as a missing white woman. Loretta had fair features and her hair was blonde. Meriam said she found it more difficult to get information from officers after they started to correctly refer to her as an Inuk woman. ``When my daughter went missing, they had it as white woman missing,'' she told commissioner Qajaq Robinson. ``I would call to the investigators and they would answer me and I
would talk personally to the investigators. And when they started calling her Inuk I had to start swearing at them and everything to get answers.'' ``I didn't get to talk to the investigators after that,'' she said. ``I had to talk to the go-between. And he would say 'I can't answer that.''' A spokesperson for the Halifax police said they followed regular protocols in the investigation. ``In missing persons and homicide investigations there are established processes that we follow,'' wrote Const. Dianne Penfound, the media relations officer in Halifax. ``In every homicide, we have a designated family liaison officer who is responsible for ensuring effective communication with the family, to the extent possible without jeopardizing the investigation.'' Delilah said prior to
A ministry spokeswoman says it violates regulations to leave the rest of the moose meat to spoil. The ministry says the first moose was discovered on Sept. 28, northeast of Ear Falls, Ont., with its nose, tongue and bell _ the flap of skin that hangs below the neck _ removed. The second moose, found near Sioux Look-
out, Ont., only had its nose and tongue removed, and the rest of its body was covered in brush in what the ministry says was an attempt to hide it. Officials didn't say whether they believe the incidents are linked or what could be the motive. Moose snouts and tongues are sometimes used for food.
her murder, her older sister had talked to her about the phenomenon of ``white-passing privilege,'' where people who appear white, but are not, are treated favourably. She told the commission when she and Loretta were pulled over by the Halifax police several years earlier, her sister told her they were treated differently because of their white features. ``They were sweet to us and they were kind to us. Loretta said this would have gone completely differently if we were black or looked native,'' she said. The 26-year-old Inuk woman said prior to her murder Loretta had submitted a thesis proposal to Saint Mary's University in Halifax on the topic of missing and murdered indigenous women, and had a rising consciousness of the issues her parents and grandparents had faced in Labrador.
Meriam said she'd spoken to her daughter about the experience of being a ``dirty Skimo,'' referring to her Inuit background, when she lived in Goose Bay. After the death of her daughter, Meriam said that shifted from being shy and quiet, to becoming vocal in her advocacy for the plight of Inuit and other aboriginal Canadians. During her testimony, the mother described the limited travel funding for impoverished aboriginal residents of Labrador who are sent to St. John's, N.L., for medical treatment. ``We don't need to worry about our own people killing us off, our government is killing us off,'' said Meriam. Delilah said she had moved to Halifax to be with her sister and had a deep and close relationship with her. ``She wanted to go to
law school. She wanted to be a mother. She wanted to be a wife. She wanted to help our people and she was on that path to do that,'' she said. Family members testified that Saunders had created a remarkable turnaround in her life, after leaving home in her early teenaged years and ending up on the streets of Montreal struggling with substance abuse. Her father, Clayton, described her return to Labrador where she completed three years of high school in eight months. He wept as he recalled her determination to succeed, and as he spoke of how she was pregnant at the time of her murder. ``She wanted to make her father proud of her, her mother proud of her and decided to go back to school,'' he said. ``I took care of her the most. She was quite the girl. We all miss her.''
porary foreign workers even though there may be Aboriginals from nearby reserves who could fill the jobs. Federal and Indigenous agencies are trying to fill that knowledge gap through a series of surveys and outreach efforts that will take years to complete and cost millions of dollars. Internal government documents suggest there
are concerns that these efforts won't yield robust enough data to guide future policy decisions through a new Indigenous employment strategy set to be in place in April 2018. The government expects that over the next decade, about 400,000 young Aboriginals will join the workforce, adding to the almost 900,000 already of working age.

Exploring possibilities of converting Mud Road By Dan Matten On Thursday, October 26, 2017 the Haldimand County held its second public meeting exploring the possibility to convert the existing Mud Road into a walking trail. The existing Mud Road runs from Indian Line (Hald Rd. 20), east of Hagersville, along the Hydro Corridor to Fifth Line and is at present a 'not-public' road that is not maintained. It is being used by Hydro and Pipeline service crews and by farmers to access their farms lands beyond the Mud Road. The trail starts at McKenzie Rd. in Caledonia, which was already widened and will be the road and bicycle connector from Caledonia to Fifth Line. Then the path will turn onto Fifth Line to meet with Mud Road. This stretch will have to be widened to make it save for cyclists. It is suggested that you drive
or cycle from Caledonia to the beginning of Mud Road. At the entrance of Mud Road, the County plans to establish a parking lot for about six vehicles or more if demand calls for it. The existing Mud Road will be made into a about three-metre-wide gravel path on firm underlayment. The path will reach from Fifth Line to Indian Line (R.R.20) east of Hagersville. Each road crossing will likely be secured with some kind of blocking to prevent motorized vehicles on this walking trail. This will be very much like the Lynn Valley trail that has a parking lot at the entrance and crosses some roads on its length of the path. A future expansion to the lake is being considered as Phase II. One big concern for the abutting farm neighbors is that they need access to Mud Road or need to be able to cross
Mud road to access their lands beyond Mud Road. They need to be able to drive tractors with equipment attachments and combines across and along Mud Road to seed and harvest their crops. It seems that in some cases they would be land-locked. This cannot happen of course. As people in attendance confirmed, there is Jeep clubs currently using this Mud Road as a mudding track at the present. Also, many ATVs are using it for their outings. People stated that this a real problem and complained that Mud Road is not policed enough to catch and fine the respective abusers. Another current problem is the dumping. Some people seem to think that it is OK to dump their garbage on Mud Road. This situation needs to be brought under control and establishing a walking path
Halidmand County is discussing changing Mud Road into a walking trail. It currently serves as a service road for Hydro and Pipeline crews. It is also used by local farmers to access land. PHOTO BY DAN MATTEN might help to alleviate this problem. There were also people in attendance that thought the walking trail is a great idea and voiced their support. The County has this trail in its budget for 2025 with a very rough estimate of $2.2 million. Considering other walking path projects Sheila Wilson mentioned that the cost could be $200
per metre, but will go up in cost for any water crossings and other problem areas. Other counties like Brant and Cambridge who have a walking and cycling trail system proof that they are highly regarded and widely used. A trail system will make Haldimand more attractive to tourists and people who are looking for a good place
to live. Sheila Wilson from Haldimand County, who held this meeting, stated that this was only a meeting to explore what resonance this idea would provide. She is inviting everyone to comment and to let her know what you think of this idea; she invited all to e-mail her at swilson@haldimandcounty.on.ca.

Strange things about Stranger Things By Chezney Martin
HAWKINS, IN – The hit scifi series Stranger Things reclaimed Netflix on Friday, October 27 with its second season — perfect timing for a Halloween treat. In 2016, the first season developed a global following and went on to win five Emmys and finalize the year as one of the moststreamed shows online. So, well-awaited favourites like Eleven, Mike and Sheriff Hopper will once again lead viewers into the world of the Demogorgon for a full nine episodes. But if you're a fan that wants to get better acquainted with things you might have missed behind and on the scenes, read on. 1. Watching the first season you’ll see nods to classic films and ‘80s music. The Clash's “Should I Stay or Should I Go” is a repeated theme along with other gems, but the musicians that really set the tone for the series are members of the synth band Survive, Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. The bars almost

make you compare the theme song to the creations of John Williams — creator of the Jaws theme song — in iconicism and suitability for the show. The duo wrote the spectral theme song and the spine-chilling synth score and now have an avid social media following. 2. Gaten Matarazzo who plays Dustin Henderson on the show bravely spoke out about his disability last year, revealing that he suffers from cleidocranial dysplasia which affects the development of his bones and teeth. Matarazzo included that he speaks with a lisp because he still has his baby teeth, and does not have collar bones. “I just want to raise awareness for it and let people know that it’s not something that you should be afraid of showing,” he said. Matarazzo can also sing! 3. The Duffer brothers are quite diligent at leaving behind the odd clue here and there throughout the season, but one thing that many viewers missed is that the Demogorgon is a villain from the advanced Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) version. The intro scene in season one finds the boys playing D&D, and particularly when Will uses a fireball to attack the 'gorgon' which is unsuccessful. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The design for the Stranger Things poster was inspired by covers such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones created by designer Drew Struzan, and offered a reminiscent flash back. This links to Nancy, Jonathan and Steve's failed attempt at killing the monster by setting it on fire and foreshadows Will's abduction. It is also believed that the term “Demogorgon” is actually derived from a typo of the Greek word “demiurge,” meaning “creator of the world.” In other words, the monster could be named after a typo. 4. Millie Bobby Brown or Eleven was born and raised in Spain, but when she was just seven years old her parents decided to apply her to acting school in Los
Angeles. They've moved to the U.S., since then, and although she is only 12 years old, she made the decision to shave her head for the role. Brown was nervous at first, but the director told her to “have the mindframe of Charlize Theron in Mad Max.” To top it off, Steven Spielberg and Stephen King were two influences that the Duffer brothers looked to for inspiration while making the series. And in 2014, King spotted Brown for her performance in Intruders, tweeting: “Millie Brown, the girl in INTRUD-
ERS, is terrific. Is it my imagination, or are child actors a lot better than they used to be?” The crew also said that Eleven's death scene “was the funniest scene to film.” 5. There is a 30-page document that exists solely to explain the Upside Down for the twin Duffer brothers. As Ross Duffer explained, “we have all this stuff that we just didn’t have time for, or we didn’t feel like we needed to get into in season one … We have that whole other world that we haven’t fully explored in this season, and that was very purposeful.” And the brothers say they may never reveal the full truth about the Upside Down. “We’re telling this story from the point of view of very human characters. There’s no way they can ever truly fully understand this place. We have our Upside Down document which describes its rules and its mythology in quite a bit of detail, but I think we’re just going to slowly parse that out, and maybe not even fully use all of it,” said Duffer. 6. The reminiscent poster for the series was created by Kyle Lambert who was inspired by the art style of Drew Struzan, who is an acclaimed poster and album artwork artists that created posters for Staw Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and many more. But not only did the poster pay homage to old films, the character of Nancy Wheeler also pays
BIOMECHANICAL FOOT & ANKLE PAIN?
homage to A Nightmare on Elm Street. The similar hair, clothing style and arrangement of traps for the Demogorgon is reminiscent of the showdown between Nancy Thompson and Freddy Kruger. 7. Netflix bought Stranger Things within 24 hours of hearing the pitch and producers read the pilot script back in 2014. Executive producer Dan Cohen said, “We read this pilot and sat with them [the Duffer brothers] and started talking about this project and how to bring it to the world.” And bring it to the world they did as casting selection for the show took months and the crew went through over 100 auditions before making their selection on the cast group. 8. Other homages paid during the show included the homemade ghost costume for Eleven as a familiarization of E.T., as Eleven's character was inspired by the VHS extraterrestrial. As well, a nod went to the Gremlins as Dustin found a “polywog” in his garbage can and fed it his three Musketeers bar. According to CBR, the parallels are “particularly in the critter’s aversion to light, and in its

Incarcerated women should be included in MMIW inquiry: Victim
TORONTO— A former sex worker who spent time in jail is urging the national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls to interview other indigenous inmates. Sharon Acoose was a victim of childhood abuse. She believes the majority of Indigenous women who end up in provincial jails or federal prisons have also endured emotional, physical and sexual violence, and can offer a perspective vital
to the work of the inquiry. Many Indigenous women who are at risk share similar pain, Acoose said. About 91 per cent of Indigenous women in penitentiaries are abuse victims. Officials say histories of abuse, poverty and marginalization that lead to a life on the streets or behind bars are the same histories that often lead to missing or murdered women.

Gay rights upheld in us for on-reserve couples AK-CHIN RESERVATION — A tribal court has cleared the way for gay couples to marry on reserve near Phoenix, Arizona — after a US federal judge ruled the a same sex marriage prohibition established by the reserve was unconstitutional both federally and under the reserve’s own tribal law. One lesbian couple
fought the two-year legal battle. Officials say the decision could have repercussions for Native Americans elsewhere. While surrounding reservations supported gay marriage the Ak-Chin community remained in opposition. Officials for the reserve say they will not appeal the ruling.

SN Atom Reps win By Jim Windle

Corvairs leap into first By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The Caledonia Corvairs have leapfrogged both the Niagara Falls Canucks and the St. Catharines Falcons to land in first place in the Golden Horseshoe Conference with a 13-2-0-1 record, before Tuesday’s game versus Ancaster, who hold down fourth spot. An 8-0 head on collision with the Thorold Blackhawks Saturday night went Caledonia’s way with eight individuals evenly sharing the eight goals and goaltender Pierce Charleson recording his second shutout in a Caledonia
uniform. He turned away 16 shots. Eddie Shultz, Joshua DeFarias and Jeff Lindsay put up a 3-0 Corvairs lead after the first period. Griffin Roubos, Adam Craivich and Owen Lane made it 6-0 after 40 minutes of play and Sean O’Brien and Jeremy Marco added third period goals. The Corvairs were twice-bitten by penalties in the first period of Friday night’s 4-1 loss in St. Catharines as the Falcons took a 3-0 first period after 20 minutes. Nathan Smilsky added another in the second. Caledonia’s Sean O’Brien prevented the Falcons’ shut out with his
powerplay goal scored at 4:35 of the third period, from Jesse Barwell and Bobby Harrison. The Corvairs faced the visiting Ancaster Avalanche Tuesday night in a game that will miss our deadline. The Caledonia Corvairs are in first place, but there is a sleeper afoot in the Ancaster Avalanche that could quickly overtake the league leaders. The Av’s are three points out of first place which makes Tuesday night’s game that much more important. Saturday night the Corvairs hit the road to Fort Erie to face off with the Meteors.
OHSWEKEN – If the Six Nations Atom Reps are not the best-coached team in the loop, they have to be in the top three. Coach Travis Anderson has his young charge running like a fine-tuned engine, if Sunday’s 6-0 shutout win over the Caledonia Thunder is any indication. Two of Anderson’s Blackhawks stood out; however, the entire team contributed to the win. Goalie Memphis McNaughton was well deserving of the shutout, his first of the season. “This is his first year as a goalie,” Anderson gushed about his young goalie before awarding Memphis the Player of the Game award. He praised his defence for keeping the Thunder at bay. The other highlight on a highlight team was Nolo Squire who scored the first four goals for Six Nations, all of them good goals. He was set up for three of them by line mate, Colbee VanEvery. After a scoreless first period the Blackhawks exploded offensively while McNaughton and his defence held their ground. Chaz Hill and Mace Anderson scored third period goals for Six Nations. “From top to bottom we got three periods of solid hockey,” said coach

Anderson. “We had a couple of bad penalties, but I think the other team was trying to suck us in.” Outside of that, he thought his team played a very disciplined game. “This is only our fourth game,” said Anderson. “Most of the other teams have played six or seven games.” After Sunday, Six Nations are 3-1, Winning two close games before falling apart in the third period of last Friday night’s loss. “It was 0-0 going into the third period,” recalls Anderson. “Then they
scored on us five times in five minutes.” That sparked a lot of work at this week’s practices and dry land conditioning as well. The move paid off well as demonstrated in Sunday’s win. “The team is buying into our system,” he says. “The I.Q. of these defenseman was phenomenal.” Anderson offers a lot of credit to his coaching staff as well. The season is still very young, but this team is one to watch.

Montour lighting them up for Anaheim By Jim Windle ANAHEIM – Brandon Montour is the real deal. After being called up for part of last season from the AHL San Diego Gulls, Montour earned a permanent slot on the Anaheim Ducks’ roster and he is making the best of his opportunity. As a fast-skating rushing defenceman with a howitzer for a shot, he has become one of Anaheim’s most lethal weapons on the blue line. But Montour is also dependable in his own end protecting the Ducks’ goal. Saturday night in Tampa Bay, Montour assisted on the Ducks’ first goal and then wired a rocket from his favourite spot on the edge of the faceoff circle for his fourth goal of the season to date, and his third assist. That assist came on Rickard Rakell’s goal
scored at 10:13 to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead. Montour had two cracks at it from the same spot just inside the faceoff circle to the right of the Lightning goal. He got all of both shots but it was the second one that did the damage, scoring high to the stick side on Peter Budaj. That made it 2-0 as the Ducks went on to defeat the Lightning 4-1. The Ducks were good on two of four powerplay opportunities and Montour was in on them both. Ten games into the season, Montour is second in Anaheim point-getters behind Richard Rakell, very impressive considering Montour is a defenceman. The Florida Panthers took an 8-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night. The Ducks wrapped up their four-game road trip Sunday in Carolina

against the Hurricanes, which the Ducks won 4-3 in overtime. Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf was struck in the face by a puck on the first shift of the game. He went to the dressing room for treatment before coming back for six more shifts, but he did not return after the first intermission. Carlyle said Getzlaf made
the decision to not return to the game. "We just felt it was in his best interest to be evaluated by our doctors to see what the issues are," Carlyle said. "He didn't feel comfortable going out there, so he couldn't play." The Ducks host the Toronto Maple Leafs this Wednesday night at the Duck Pond.
Hawks hope to build on 8-0 win
By Jim Windle HAGERSVILLE – Probably the scariest thing players and management of the Hagersville Hawks have seen this Halloween
may have been the Jr. C standings. This is one of the worst starts the Hawks have seen for a number of season, and last week’s games drove the
Hawks even deeper into the South Bloomfield Division with a record of 3-9-1-0. Only the Simcoe Storm is having a worse start at 2-11-1-1. Wednesday, Oct. 25, Glanbrook beat the Hawks 7-4, which was followed by 4-3 loss to Dundas. But suddenly, the Hawks began to rise again at home with an exclamation mark, defeating the Dunnville Mudcats 8-0, before a very hungry-fora-win crowd at the Hagersville arena. It was a very physical affair right from the start with Hayden Smith and Dunnville’s Damian Garbutt had a dance late in the period, which set the
tone for the rest of the penalty filled game. Jacob Laurantani scored the lone first period goal from Cam Allan. Wesley Fritz, Harrison Larochelle, and James Bradshaw’s powerplay goal lifted the Hagersville lead to 4-0 after two periods. There was more to come in the third as Tycie Cowan, James Bradshaw, Ralph Taggart and Riley Pinkney completed the scoring triggering a huge sigh of relief. The Hag-Hawks hope to keep the puck rolling in the right direction, this week with Saturday, against Port Dover, in their only game of the week.
Cam Sault gives shirt off his back for United Way Submitted article Fresh off last Friday's victory over a very talented Dundas McCoy's team, the Brantford Blast will try to make it two wins in a row when they face the much-improved Hamilton Steelhawks tomorrow night. Last week’s victory before 1913 raucous fans was the first for new Head Coach Peter Crosby and his Assistant Mike Wittchen. Brett Leggat was the showstopper kicking out 51 of 53 shots while the line of Cam Sault, Dustin Alcock and Chris Rebernik led the offense with 6 points. Sault scored the winner at17:35 of the third from Alcock and Rebernik and Alcock added an empty netter at 19:23 from Rebernik & Dave Russell. Newcomers Jay Pitton and Paul McIlveen drew assists on goals by Charlie Stevens and Derek Medeiros. Notable players unavailable for the Home Opener were Joel Prpic, Dougie Clarkson and Derek Foam, all of whom could be in the
lineup this Friday. Cam Sault is tied for the League lead with Stoney Creeks Rob Hissey and Nathan Pageau. All three have six points. Chris Rebernik has five points and is tied for fifth with Stoney Creeks Cam Fergus, Chris Huilt and Martin Lee. All Blast game-worn hockey jerseys will be auctioned off during the course of the game with proceeds going to Brant United Way. Hundreds of United Way workers and volunteers will Rally at the Civic Centre en masse and many will be in the front lobby conducting the silent auction and increasing the campaigns awareness. The winning bidders will go on the ice at the final buzzer to retrieve their autographed treasure right off the players backs.

Knighthawks re-sign Wayne Van Every Submitted article
ROCHESTER – The Rochester Knighthawks announced that the team has re-signed forward Wayne Van Every to a one-year deal. “I'm grateful for another opportunity to earn a roster spot with the Knighthawks for this upcoming season,” he said. Van Every returns to the Knighthawks after getting his big break last season. The 28-year-old opened the 2017 campaign by collecting points in three of his first four games. The Six Nations product concluded the year with two goals and three assists in four games. “I think Wayne came in and did a great job for us,” said Knighthawks VP of Player Personnel Jody Gage. “He is the ultimate team guy. We are excited to give him another opportunity.” In 2017, Van Every was named to the 20-man roster after impressing the coaching staff during training camp. The camp was the third of his career, having previously attended New England
Knighthawks Wayne VanEvery has signed a new contract with the NLL Rochester Knighthawks. SUBMITTED PHOTO Black Wolves’ camp in 2014 and the Buffalo Bandits’ camp in 2010. The forward made Buffalo’s practice squad after being selected in the second round (21st overall) of the 2010 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft.
New team joins NLL By National Lacrosse League The National Lacrosse League (NLL) announced the brand reveal of one of its latest expansion teams. On August 30, the NLL announced that an entity controlled by Joe Tsai was granted ownership of the San Diego NLL expansion team. Today, the team has officially announced its name, the San Diego Seals, during a press conference on the rooftop of La Jolla Cove Hotel & Suites in San Diego. “We wanted a name that was inherent to San Diego,” said team president Steve Govett. “The Seals name acknowledges the marine mammals that live along our coastline, and it pays tribute to the brave men and women who help keep us safe and protect our freedom.”
The San Diego Seals will officially begin play in 2018 at the Valley View Casino Center. The slogan — Surfacing Soon — will be used by the team until it begins play next season. “Today is yet another great milestone for the city of San Diego, its team, and our league,” said NLL Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz. “With the reveal of the San Diego Seals as the team’s official brand identity, there are many reasons for excitement in this city as we inch closer and closer to the team’s inaugural season. We look forward to seeing the San Diego Seals in action during the 2018-19 season.”
After his first stop in the NLL, Van Every worked hard to finally make his pro debut. It would be seven years and several leagues later before he realized his childhood dream. But that wait was definitely worth it. On Dec. 29, Van Every
made his NLL debut — on opening night — as the Knighthawks hosted the Toronto Rock. What made that game unforgettable was that it took him just 8:46 to score his first professional goal. Van Every converted a Dan Dawson
pass to open the scoring for Rochester early in the first quarter. “My professional debut with the Knighthawks was such a memorable experience,” he said. “I dreamt of playing in my first professional game for so long and scoring a
goal in my first game was just the cherry on top. I will definitely cherish that moment for the rest of my life.” Prior to making the move to the NLL, Van Every played with the hometown Junior “B” Six Nations Rebels and the Junior “A” Six Nations Arrows. In 2007, he won the Founders’ Cup with the Rebels and three seasons later he was the top scorer in Junior “B” lacrosse. With the Arrows, Van Every appeared in 30 games and notched 30 goals and 24 assists over two seasons (2009 to 2010). Last season, he proved he belonged in the NLL. With less than two weeks to go until the Knighthawks open training camp, Van Every is focused on winning a spot on the roster for the second straight season. “I can't wait to get back on the floor with the boys and get to work,” he said. “It will be a grind out there and I'm excited to get this season started with the Knighthawks.”

Lawsuit launched after two died in hospital by suicide
Submitted article Deanna Ratt knew that Type 2 diabetes ran in her family, but the Winnipeg resident breathed a sigh of relief when her gestational diabetes cleared up shortly after she delivered her son, Zach, 22 years ago — although the temporary condition put her at greater risk for developing Type 2 diabetes later in life. Fast forward to 2009 when Deanna was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. By this time, both her brother, David Schick, and her husband, Albert, a First Nations Canadian, had also developed the disease. While she believes she took her diagnosis seriously, her blood sugar levels still "got away from me," she says, adding, "I was probably not as diligent as I could have been."

EDMONTON — An Alberta children’s advocate is calling for a greater emphasis on children’s family connections when they are in care after an increase in youth suicides while in the foster care system. One Indigenous teenager killed himself in a group home after being denied a call to his mother. His death in 2015 have Alberta's child and youth advocate calling for a greater emphasis on family connections and more
willingness to provide supports for at-risk teens. The 17-year-old who took his own life in a group home was from another province but came to Alberta to live with his mother, who was later found to be abusing prescription drugs. The boy was arrested for stealing cars and served time in custody. He had an easier time phoning his mother there than he did later at the group home, where rules about contact were more strict, Graff wrote.

Although her husband has not developed any diabetes related complications, her brother has lost a leg because of the disease, as well as the vision in one of his eyes.

awareness about diabetes, especially among her three sons and her First Nations community (Indigenous Canadians are at high risk for developing Type 2 diabetes). She attends diabetes meetings and workshops, and helps plan diabetes awareness events for Diabetes Canada. "Advocacy is what keeps my spirit healthy," she says. Deanna began
