A vehicle driven by a drunk driver hit a home in Ohsweken last week and now the family cannot live there due to a gas leak and structural damage.

Local Family displaced by car crash in Ohsweken

By Chezney Martin Just after midnight on Friday, September 4, a vehicle colliding into a house on Fourth Line was reported to Six Nations police; leaving Crystal Jacobs charged with Impaired Driving, Over 80, Dangerous Driving and Mischief Over $5000.

The house is located almost directly across from Woodlawn Road and very close to neighbouring houses and the road in front. It has been nearly two weeks since and the family has been told the house is “unrepairable.”

Nathan White explained that the ordeal happened on his birthday and after having his family removed from the house, he felt lost.

“Where do I start?” said White. “They shut off the hydro and gas and ev-

erything, there was a gas leak so we had to get out of there quick after that happened. The two little ones were in that room (the room receiving the car impact), it was at about one o’clock,” he said.

“Basically, I was in the shower then I don’t know, the whole house shifted where I was standing and I jumped out and I ran out there. She (Tanya) was just sleeping on the couch so she just wakes up, and she thought something just fell off the wall or something. Then I said ‘no the whole house shifted,’ then I ran into these guys’ bedroom, or our bedroom ‘cause they were sleeping in it at the time. Then I see the wall all pushed in and the insulation and all that,” explained White.

Mother of their four children, Tanya Martin had been sleeping on

their couch before being woken by the crash. She explained the ordeal of losing their home as “horrible.”

“We asked the police if the driver was drunk,” said Martin. “We could tell when she got out of the vehicle. Cause she was just getting out of her car when we opened the door, and when she went to walk away you could tell she was drunk,” she said.

Martin explained that the driver knew she was in the wrong and didn’t attempt to leave.

“She was still there, but Nathan was mad and told her to get out of here and whatever. So she just went on the sidewalk and waited for the police to get there,” she said.

“If that steel beam wasn’t there she would have went right through our house, that’s what

saved these guys,” she said. “They did a breathalyzer and they said it was over 80,” she said, explaining that the driver had just come from Moccasin Trail.

In Canada, 0.08 (or 8%) is the legal limit of alcohol to have within the blood stream, which is equivalent to about one drink. “Over” 0.80 would indicate that the driver’s blood was over 80% alcohol.

Martin explained that the contractor initially told them their house could be fixed, and the family had one day to remove their belongings from the house. They then borrowed money to pay for a storage bin, but were told the house was unrepairable on Wednesday.

“We went to housing but they didn’t have anything,” she said. “We went there twice, now

we’re back at our parents’ house,” she said.

“The kids were crying and screaming and not sleeping that night, the two little ones were too tired for school. They woke up at one and they didn’t go back to sleep until five,” she said.

“His (Nathan’s) mom was talking about fundraising, so I think she’ll throw something together, hopefully for a new place,” she said.

White explained that the cupboards had emptied onto the floor from the impact and a small flat screen had fallen on his eldest daughter.

“I ran out and I saw that lady and the whole nose end of her vehicle was right into the house.

Then she was getting out, she had one foot out and I lost it,” he said, as he told the driver his chil-

dren were in the room she crashed into. “Everything I was saying she pretty much admitted to it, ‘yeah I know I’m stupid,’ ‘yeah I know, call the cops on me,’ that’s what she was saying,” he said.

White explained that there was a high beam within the house that prevented the car from going straight through; he said the contractor told them it was bent 18 inches from the crash.

“It was horrible, pretty much turned our life upside down. We just got settled in but this will ruin our lives for a bit,” he said.

White said he visited Welfare for help, but only received $100 to feed their four children. He further explained that the family of the driver and the driver herself did not offer an apology.

Squire-Hill gets retrial in death of Tashina General

Six Nations Child Welfare Program Selects New Director of O Gwadeni:deo

By Jim Windle

By Chezney Martin

TORONTO – In a late Tuesday afternoon decision by the Ontario Court of Appeals, Kent Squire-Hill will get a new trial.

The Six Nations Arrows lacrosse star was charged and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 15 years, for the second-degree murder of his 4-months pregnant ex-girlfriend at the time, Tashina General.

General went missing in January of 2008 sparking several ground and air searches conducted by OPP, Six Nations Police K-9 Units and community members but to no avail.

Squire-Hill was attending University in the US when she went missing, but was home at the time of her death. For that reason, the investigation involved the help of American police as well.

General’s remains were finally found in

OHSWEKEN - On Tuesday, September 8, Six Nations Child Welfare Program “Taking Care of Our Own,” selected Crystal Doolittle as the first official Director of O Gwadeni:deo.

Doolittle holds a Diploma in Child and Youth Work from Mohawk College, a Bachelor’s Degree in Child and Youth Care from Ryerson University, and a Masters in Social Work from Laurentian; making her a well suited candidate for the position of director.

“As the Director of O Gwadeni:deo I’m looking forward to the opportunity to assist our community in obtaining the provincial mandate required to establish Six Nations’ own child protection services,” she said. “It’s exciting to be a part of a service that will respond to our children and families with our own community values,” she said.

O Gwadeni:deo is in the process of establishing a “Community Commission” that will include ten members; two with the ability to represent

She had been strangled, killing the fetus as well.

Squire-Hill was soon arrested in a North Bay hotel and brought back to Six Nations to await trial. He was sentenced in 2011, however the conviction had been appealed.

His argument was that the trial judge had erred at the time in instructing the jury on

the definition of intent and the defense of provocation. He also argued that the Crown attorneys 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 a new trial, date to be set.

Residential School Survivors Gather to Find Healing

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – About 15 survivors of the Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford came together on Thursday for a time of healing at the home of elder Janice Longboat on Seneca Road.

The group of women heard speaker Frank Miller who, after delivering the Ganohonyo’k (Thanksgiving address) explained it all in English as well.

Also on hand was Amos Key from the Wood-

land Cultural Centre who spoke on the Saving the Evidence campaign, which aims to turn the former residential school into a museum.

He also talked about a time when most Six Nations elders could speak three or four of the Six Nations languages fluently.

The gathering also included a trip to the “Mush Hole”, as former students called it. Some were able to brave the painful memories by going through those big old doors, but some just could not. The

women spoke of their experiences and how they have been dealing with the ghosts of the Mush Hole. Others spoke of the multi-generational damage done through Canada’s attempted genocide of Onkwehonwe culture and language.

Longboat has been helping former students (who are now seniors) as well as their families in dealing with the lasting effects.

TWO ROW TIMES

Ol' School Fugees The situation with these immigrant refugees is getting out of hand. Our great and prosperous country has allowed a handful of them into our borders but word has quickly spread amongst their kind and more and more of them are arriving with their strange language and backwards culture.

We don’t understand them.

Why are these people always sick and appear so dirty? Our families are afraid of their sections of town and we are worried that we will catch some of their foreign diseases. None of us are sure what happened and why they are fleeing their home country but it seems like they are taking our jobs.

One of the biggest problems with these foreigners is their lack of education. It seems like they are driven to crime because they just do not respect the law of the land – maybe they are incapable of understanding our laws. If they want to live in our country they need to speak the right language. Once they learn how to speak properly then they can start learning how to behave here in the land of the free.

We have seen these refugees looting and pillaging but our government is not doing anything about it. These undocumented workers just show up on our shores expecting a hand out. And to make matters worse some of my countrymen are encouraging and welcoming these thieves as they arrive off the boats.

Another thing is these guys are bringing their religion with them. They seem very aggressive and disrespectful the way they are acting. They should be grateful that we have let them into our country but no – they keep pushing their beliefs on us.

Some of these immigrants have even said that their religion is better than ours.

Enough is enough. Maybe the worst aspect of this mess is unmarried immigrant men trying to take our women. Not only

are many of them criminals but some are rapists. A 12 year old girl of our nation named Matoaka has been taken hostage in their ghetto they call Jamestown. The immigrants are calling her Pocahontas and are holding her against her will. We are negotiating her release.

They are unable to last through a winter and we have seen them eating their own dead to survive. It is absolutely disgusting. Some of our people have taken pity upon them and have developed a food bank program to sustain them. The immigrants go berserk when we cook them wild turkey and vegetables – we have never seen them so thankful.

It has been decided that our nation will grant them asylum and harbour them here for now.

If they have nowhere else to go then we must grant them safety. We have allowed some of the more civilised Europeans to live among us and learn our culture and ways. The seedier factions must remain in their shanty town near the water.

Our medicine men have said that these prickly faced people have arrived here for a reason so we will see how things turn out. We are hopeful that we can teach them how to live in harmony with creation but they are very slow learners. They have a knack for chopping down trees.

Their giant canoes and fire sticks are very impressive.

Ashes to ashes

By Bubzy Martin Sago, Ashes to ashes, let us give thanks for the faces in the earth that have yet to be born. Tread lightly, for everywhere we walk on Turtle Island is upon the bodies or our ancestors.

Ashes make nitrogen, and nitrogen is an active ingredient in fertilization. The Haudenosaunee would burn the bodies of our departed.

The Grandmothers would stir the ashes looking for hard bone, find it and grind it up on rocks - every bone that remained that wasn’t burned.

Then the ashes were spread amongst the territory with the utmost respect for the deceased. We have been here forever, since the Sky Woman fell to earth, so that’s a lot of ashes to help with the fertilization of our Mother Earth.

The circle of life goes round and round - this life is only a little breath so let us not

think we’re the pinnacle of the universe for our minds are supposed to be humble and holistic.

The stirring of the ashes ceremony at Longhouse comes from this custom. That is why we are told not to make footprints. Coincidentally, the modern environmentalists say the emission of pollutants in the air today will blacken the next 7 generations of coming faces with soot from our garbage.

It’s all about perspective - we’re relearning respect for our lands. Everything moves in cycles or circles. When we dig into the earth there is layers upon layers of bodies of our loved ones. We Haudenosaunee must walk our talk lest we get swept up in the seas of fast food wrappers and 50 inch plasma TV boxes.

The language ceremonies and land are all we have that defines us - we have to protect it with our lives.

The bush behind my house

-Anonymous Powhatan Indian, circa 1612

Editor’s note: This is a fictional satire piece based on historical truth that illustrates the trouble that comes when we exhibit a negative attitude towards refugees. Imagine what may have happened to European settlers if Indigenous Nations peoples didn’t grant them asylum? Now is the time to be open-minded about how we may help others in need.

is where I spent weeks as a kid hunting and playing. I’ve grown quite attached to my dusty road where all us ten year old kids had grey hair, coarse like wool after playing in the front yard, from all the dust that kicked up from speeding bush cars.

Talk about a carbon footprint that’ll make your eyes water and ear drums rattle.

This is Six Nations and I care about it all - the lushest Carolinian forest teaming with every kind of animal.

This is home so there must be balance so we don’t disrespect life. If we cut trees we cut our newborns’ lungs.

We are stuck between two worlds, the natural and the unnatural technological world of “progress”. Is it really “progressive”? Sometimes I wonder. It is becoming a serious situation of computer spying, drone surveillance, tyrannical control, and natural world destruction. If we heal ourselves we make one less person that aids and abets this negative energy wave, thus changing this world for the better. What are those ancient words of wisdom? “The flutter of a butterfly’s wings here, makes a cyclone on the other side of the world”.

Wakiro!

Mohawk Language Article Dear Editor, Languages begin to die when they are no longer passed on from parent to child. That started happening to the Mohawk language here a long time ago.

As a result, children here no longer speak, as their first language, any of the different family dialects that were once spoken 50 years ago.

In response, the community began teaching the language in schools.

But schools are not parents. They employ different teachers from different backgrounds with differing levels of fluency. They often change teachers, materials and curriculum. It’s no surprise that a “new” language emerges under these circumstances, one that is different from a single family dialect that is spoken by only a few surviving members.

It’s also a fact that languages, like people and society, change and evolve.

The English language is constantly adding new words (bling, twerk, geek, tweet, blog) and dropping old words (thee, verily, hither, whence, yon). The Mohawk language is the same. It’s evolving.

Onkwawenna Kentyohkwa began teaching adults 16 years ago.

As best we can, we teach Ohswekén:’a, the Grand River dialect. Although we also teach how some common words and expressions are said in other Mohawk communities so that our students can communicate with other speakers elsewhere, our graduates are committed to reclaiming and strengthening Ohswekén:’a.

Our graduates worked hard – very hard – to become speakers and they made many, many sacrifices to do so. Thanks to this growing number of people, the Mohawk language is now commonly heard throughout the community – in stores and restaurants, at public meetings, in the longhouse, on the telephone, not to mention on text messages, YouTube

and Facebook. It’s everywhere. There are even a precious few small children being raised to speak Kanyen’keha as their first language – something that hasn’t happened here in a very long time. In many ways our language is much stronger than it has been in more than 20 years.

Our fluent speakers from long ago are in the skyworld now and are no doubt smiling down on these new speakers.

I’m certain that they are proud of them. And when these new speakers themselves go to the skyworld, I’m certain that they will be remembered by their descendants, by children and grandchildren yet to be born. They will be applauded and honoured for what they have achieved and what they are doing to keep our language alive.

Fake Mohawk?

Dear Editor, I wanted to take a few moments to respond to last week’s TRT article written by Jim Windle on the loss and change of the Mohawk language in Six Nay. I would hate for the negative opinions expressed in the article to be the last impression that was left in the minds of the people. Instead, I would try to address some of those concerns while raising our minds back up so that we may find our peace and continue to work together.

We might find that we have common goals.

Let’s start with the fake, unintelligible Mohawk claim. This is sim-

ple gossip. To this I would invite the sisters to come in and see for themselves.

Don’t settle for what you heard or what you think you know. Go to the classes and listen. What you will hear is the teachers you are complaining about actually share your concerns.

They want to maintain our Grand River dialects (and there are several of these not just yours) and they are constantly vigilant about teaching our dialect and terminology. They prioritize Grand River and make sure to practice that with the students.

However, they do tell people other ways they have heard something said. They share other ways of saying the same thing in order to broaden their horizons and give students options. If we look at your example of the different words being used for policeman, I vote for sharing different dialects and more words every single time. We don’t live in a Grand River vacuum. How many different ways do you know how to say policeman in English?

A quick thesaurus check on the computer comes up with 30 ways including detective, patrolman, pig, bobby, bluecoat, constable, cop, flatfoot, narc, officer, gendarme, gumshoe and fuzz. I can think of a few more, some perhaps inappropriate. In my opinion, we are better served to expand our vocabulary and our experience rather than narrow and constrict ourselves.

So go to those classrooms that bother you.

The students in those classes would be over the moon to have you and your knowledge sitting in the class with them and helping them learn. The teachers that you have spent

so much time criticizing would probably appreciate your involvement. They are all adults and have their big boy pants on. What could it hurt to reach out and try work together instead of against each-other?

TRT, I think this is the

main reason I felt compelled to write a response to this article. In one great big public fell swoop you criticized an entire generation of people who are finally showing an interest in learning our languages.

Do you have any clue of

J O B

POSITION

how difficult it is to get our people to feel safe enough to try and speak their language? Any clue at all???

Seriously TRT, I just want to grab you by the ear and send you back the bush to pick your whip.

Conservative Director ousted from board after racist comments

Sue MacDonnell, former police sergeant with the Toronto Police Services, was on the Board of Directors for the newly formed Bay of Quinte Conservative Riding Association. That is until, she was removed over racist comments that were posted on her personal social media.

MacDonnell wrote such comments as, “Indians loathe us and have no self-respect. The only way to stop the madness is to stop throwing at them and force them to grow up. Apparently, they’re just remaining infants. And they wonder why people have no respect for them??? Get the CAS to seize the children

as being in need of protection and cut the adults off PERMANENTLY from all funding.”

NDP candidate, Niki Ashton, who also serves as the party’s Aboriginal Affairs critic, called the comments “disgusting” and “clearly racist.” She continues to ask whether PM Harper stands by those comments. The Bay of Quinte riding borders the Tyendinaga Mohawk Reserve.

AFN National Chief Bellegarde flip flops; will now vote

Only a week after declaring he would not be voting in the federal election out of deference to nation to nation agreements, Assembly of First Nations (AFN) Chief Perry Bellegarde has now declared that he will be voting.

Bellegarde says that after attending a pow wow and talking to,

“a number of regional chiefs” he has decided to vote for the party that leans the most toward “closing the socio-economic gap” between First Nations and the average Canadian. The AFN National Chief said that he was told he needs to be an example.

Despite the recent release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Report and its 94 recommendations, First Nations issues continue to be ignored by the federal party leaders, based on the themes put to them in the first leadership debate. Federal party leaders have yet to respond to a report written by the Assembly of First Nations which is called, “Closing the Gap.”

Manitoba's Child and Family Services (CFS) Continues the 60's Scoop

According to the police in Winnipeg, Manitoba, 4 out of 5 missing persons involves kids in the care of Manitoba’s Child and Family Services, with 71% of them being female. Cora Morgan, an advocate for Manitoba’s First Nations says that social workers are seizing an average of one newborn a day. Oftentimes, the infants are apprehended for reasons out of the parent’s control, such as the need for extra medical care for the child or the mother being in CFS care when she was younger.

Manitoba has the highest rate of apprehension in Canada. Last year, child welfare in Manitoba came under fire after Tina Fontaine, 15, was

killed after running away from a hotel where she was in government care.

Increasing amounts of violence are happening to children in governmental care and this continues despite the recent release of the Truth and Reconcilation Commission’s report on cultural genocide.

This includes the study of the impacts of cultural genocide on Indigenous peoples.

Painted Hand Ceremony and Feast rekindles alliances

Over 200 people attended the Painted Hand Ceremony and Feast in Serpent River First Nation this past weekend. The ceremony serves as a method of revitalizing historical alliances between some of the Original nations of Turtle Island. Feasting and paying tribute to the agreements of the past

through ceremony is one of the ways utilized to ensure a strong and healthy future for our children.

Speakers included Derek Nepinak, Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, John Beaucage, a pipe carrier from the Anishnaabe Bear clan, Tony Belcourt, former President of the Metis Nation of Ontario and Alan Corbiere who shared teachings on wampum agreements.

Christi Belcourt, Metis visual artist and author, also presented on the importance of reviving these alliances.

The meeting was hosted by the Onaman Collective, which is an, “Indigenous grassroots land-based art initiative sharing traditional knowledge and language with youth.”

Human traffickers targeting Indigenous females in London area, organizations Say

By Jim Windle LONDON, ON – First Nations girls and young women in the London area are being specifically targeted for human trafficking according to Elayne Isaacs, former head of At^lohsa Native Family Healing Service in London Ontario.

She reports that First Nations girls in the London area, some as young as 13-years of age, are being befriended, recruited and groomed by handlers.

An independent umbrella group known as the Coalition Assisting Trafficked Individuals in London (CATI London), confirms that young Indigenous people in particular are being targeted.

The troubling fact that is London Police are unaware of this issue and report that they have come across no Indigenous victims in their investigations.

“That’s not something we are seeing, from a boots-on-the-ground perspective,” Const. Jim Pottruff told the London Free Press. “We aren’t coming across an over-representation of (indigenous victims). I don’t know where they are getting that information.”

London police have admitted that there is so much distrust of police

by Indigenous people,

women especially, that in some cases, the victims do not self-identify as being Aboriginal.

The discrepancy between the statistics of Indigenous organizations and the mainstream police send a red flag to Aboriginal family service organizations and reserves in the London area, as well as urban Indigenous families.

CATI is asking agencies serving Indigenous women to complete a detailed questionnaire whenever they encounter a young Aboriginal victim of human trafficking.

According to Annalise Trudell, Program Co-ordinator at the Sexual Assault Center of London, it is “incredibly important” that something be done since police seem to be unaware of the cases she and other Indigenous centres for women deal with every week.

Trudell, Isaacs and others have found that the girls and young men being trafficked for sex in many cases are too young

to even understand what is going on. They are duped into thinking the traffickers are their boyfriends when, in fact they are pimping them out.

In London alone there are 400 frontline workers who have been trained in recognizing the earmarks of human trafficking. Hotels along the 401 corridor seems to be a hotspot for pimps and both voluntary and forced sex trade workers.

Social media and online video games are sometimes being used to make initial contact where they befriend the victim and offer them a way to better life and an invitation to meet to talk about it.

A 2014 study by Public Safety Canada found Indigenous girls to be the prime targets due to colonialism, multi-generational effects of residential school abuses, and loss of identity under the Indian Act, family violence, racism, low self-esteem, poverty addiction and loss of culture.

U-19 World Lacrosse series a success, Team Iroquois West beats USA for bronze

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The bar has been raised in international box lacrosse after surprisingly talented and well coached U-19 teams put on a three day show at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena at Six Nations, the home of lacrosse.

Out of three Iroquois entrees, and one from the Squamish Nation of BC, only one medaled. Team Iroquois West held up for the Bronze medal while Iroquois East, Iroquois Seneca, and Squamish were eliminated.

They went up against Team USA Sunday for the bronze and came out with a 13-7 win powered by a five goal, two assist performance by Austin Staats for Iroquois West, under coaches Cody Jamieson, Sid Smith and Curt Styres.

Team USA was always a threat, but Iroquois West took a 4-1 after the first period and then built on the lead. There was a lot of scoring in the second as Iroquois distanced the Americans 10-3 after the second period leading towards the final 13-7 score.

Tallying for Iroquois West, besides Staats, were Josh Miller (2G,5A), Travis Longboat (2G,2A),

Jonathan Pallidino (2G), Mickey Fitzpatrick, William Cabrera, Morgan Cheek, Wyn Blueye, and Zach Drake scored for USA. After being involved in as many international tournaments as he has, Iroquois West coach Sid

Smith was not surprised by the quality of European talent and their dedication to continue developing lacrosse within their own countries.

“No, I wasn’t surprised by the talent,” he said. “It was the two best teams playing for the gold.

It’s the same as the Men’s Worlds, they have some very competitive teams.”

That said, he was still disappointed that his team didn’t perform better, earlier on in the tournament.

“Obviously we wanted to do a better job this weekend,” said Coach Smith following the games. “I thought we had the team to win gold but these other teams are very good too.”

Information gathered from roundtable discussions will be used to help inform programming and policy

pressed with the caliber of all teams involved, and although at various stages of development, he believes the future looks bright for the continued growth of lacrosse worldwide, especially the indoor box game.

“I was surprised that there were so many close games,” he admitted. “But that is awesome for the event and it just puts the icing on the cake.”

The logistical nightmare of organizing, promoting and fundraising to help make it a reality was a full time effort, which he worked on almost every day of those three years.

“The teams themselves had to raise a lot of money to bring their teams here let alone put together teams that can play at an international level,” said Schindler, a world class player in his own right. “We took care of them with sponsors and transportation and I hope we had those things covered. Six Nations really came up big as a host community. There’s not many communities that can do this and obviously we are very fortunate here at Six Nations with so many who are so in love with the sport.”

The Czechs had the biggest fundraising challenge sending two teams to North America. They sent the U-19s as well as their Men’s team for the Men’s World Indoor Lacrosse Championships played this year in Onondaga NY, which will begin soon.

“That’s tickets and lodging for more than 70 people to North America,” says Schindler. “That’s how much the Czechs love the game.”

As displayed clearly throughout the Challenge, the Czech Republic boasts the most developed box lacrosse program in Europe having started their program decades ago.

“The organizers of the Czech lacrosse program, who are here, and they are

in their 60s, were on the first Jr. Czech team when they were 15-16 years old,” say Schindler. “They play field as well but they really love box because of its similarities to hockey.”

According to Schindler, the Czechs have fallen in love with lacrosse and host a huge lacrosse tournament every year.

Now, other European countries that are just learning box say they like the box game better. Several other countries are also quietly working on developmental programs for box lacrosse and may even appear in next year’s tournament. And there is no question in Schindler’s mind that this was not a one-off event but the beginning of an annual or semi-annual international U-19 tournament hosted at Six Nations.

One of the newest countries to develop a lacrosse program is Israel who will also debut at the Men’s Worlds later this month.

Scott Neiss, the father of Israeli lacrosse, lives in the US but has strong connections with his homeland in Israel as well as other European sports entities.

“Scott sits on the board for this and he is the one who really helped us meet with other European countries to set this up three years ago,” says Schindler.

Team Israel was one of the surprises of the tournament and, although they didn’t get close to the

medal round, put up stiff resistance nonetheless.

Schindler reports that the visiting teams and chaperones were completely blown away by the support and lacrosse centeredness of the Six Nations community at large and the first class treatment they received while here.

Even the referees used throughout the tournament are a part of the new development process. If you are going to play the game, you are going to need good and knowledgeable refs, and a new development program for Haudenosaunee referees supplied the on floor officials.

“It’s been a long time waiting and we finally started this a little less than a year ago,” he says.

“For the first time ever, we have four of our Haudenosaunee refs working the Men’s World Tournament.”

Schindler thanks the many volunteers and event director of operations Kevin Sandy for a successful first tournament.

“This weekend was the first of its kind and we couldn’t have asked for a better tournament,” said Schindler. “The fan turnout was quite good for a first time effort and will only grow bigger with every U19 International Haudenosaunee World Lacrosse Challenge to come.

Pro-Fit Corvairs open season on the right skate

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – It’s Caledonia Corvairs season again and after two away showcase wins, the Corvairs are chomping at the bit to take a run at three Sutherland Cups in a row.

At the league showcase series, which opens the new season, the Corvairs shut out the London Nationals 6-0 on Sept.12th and followed with a 5-2 win over the Guelph Hurricanes the next night.

The new edition Corvairs will play their home opener against the Thorold Black Hawks this coming Thursday, Sept. 17th at 7 pm. They will remain at the Haldimand Rec Centre until Saturday when they host the Niagara Falls Canucks for a 7:30 start.

Fans of the Corvairs will need a lineup sheet for a while to get used to 15 new names this year.

“It’s going to be an older team this year with a lot more experience,” accord-

ing to General Manager Brian Rizzetto. “There is a lot of excellent talent we have brought in. Lots of 20 year-olds.”

“We still have Connor Patton and Mike Ratchford with us who have been a part of our two Sutherland Cup teams and we will be looking for some leadership from them.”

In London last weekend, Corey Pawley scored goals number one and number two of the new season, the first on a powerplay and the second with a penalty shot. Jake Brown added a short-hander to end the first period 3-0.

Blake Luscombe added a power play marker at 10:02 of the second and Jacob Bianchi made it a 5-0 route. Matt Rimic put the tail on the donkey unassisted at 7:36 of the third, while Marc Sinclair recorded his first shut out of the season turning aside 29 shots.

The next day the motor was still running for

the Corvairs as they recorded their second win of the year in Guelph.

The Hurricanes desperately wanted a win for their fans in their home opener and put up a strong first period by early season standards, keeping Caledonia off the scorecard, but didn’t make hay despite outshooting the visitors.

Caledonia broke the goose-eggs in the second period with goals

by Luscombe and Ryan Punkari. Jake Brown and Scott Dorion made it 4-0 in the third before Corson Searles spoiled Sinclairs bid for back-to-back shut outs at 10:56. Newcomer Matt McCartney scored his first as a Corvair shorthanded at 16:04 and Alex Ritchie closed out the game for Guelph at 19:37.

With two wins in two nights, the Corvairs left notice that they are looking for the three-peat season this year and have not taken a step back over the off season.

Each participant received “swag bags”, t-shirts and were invited to run or walk the horse track while having chalk paint thrown at them in certain sections of the track. Participants were then invited to eat and participate in activities and booths inside the Community Hall. In the parking lot outside of the Community Hall, booths from New Directions, Social Services, Redrum MC and several others were open to visitors.

Drama Student and Event Coordinator Kaitlyn Lickers said she was “excited” as she got to experience her project come to life.

“Brenda gave me this project, I started it in June,” she said, “I was working on it all summer, and between the brain-

storming of the event and executing everything that need to be done, that took like months of time,” she said.

She further explained that suicide prevention groups are hoping to decrease the rate of suicide by 25% by 2025, and she wanted to contribute to that effort.

“This day has just been like my baby, the whole summer. I’m so excited and I just want to share everything I’ve been doing with everybody else, because I’ve worked for Mental Health and I just realize how much I have a passion for it,” she said. “Our community has never had anything like this colour run. That’s why I wanted to bring it here, because I had the opportunities and abilities to make it happen, so I did,” she said.

She explained that Scott Chism, a photography artist, was also invited to speak inside the Community Hall, along with a comedy and drama workshop by other speakers. She hoped the workshops would offer a different form of expression to those dealing with suicidal thoughts, and also give an idea as to how many opportunities are available to youth.

“I’m incorporating all of the arts, because a lot of the people I talked to this summer as well, have used a lot of expression.

Especially with our culture, which was through art and through different things by means of art, or acting, or singing, or storytelling. All of these things help people present themselves without actually having to say ‘I’m feeling this way,’ or ‘I’m doing this.’ They’re expressing it in a way without having

to come out and say it, it gives them an outlet,” she

Preserve Food by Freezing

By Kitty R. Lynn Freezing is a fast and easy way to preserve food at the peak of its flavor, for enjoying throughout the winter! Preparation and using the proper techniques and storage to keep the food tasting its best are key.

The easiest and least expensive containers are commercial freezer bags or plastic resealable containers.

For freezing meat it is best to double wrap in a heavy duty plastic wrap. Meat not properly wrapped is prone to freezer burn which is not tasty at all. Freezer burn happens when moisture in the outer layers of the food evaporates into the freezer air leaving behind empty dry pockets in the tissue of the frozen food.

The best way to avoid this is to be sure to securely wrap or seal the food you are freezing. Also, never

refreeze meat that thaws out. It is better to cook the meat right away and then store it in the freezer in a prepared recipe.

When freezing vegetables they require a quick, brief blanch in boiling water. The blanching process stops the veggies from continuing to ripen. Blanching is simple - bring a pot of water to boil, immerse the vegetables in the water and time them depending on the veggie for 2-5 minutes. Take the vegetables from the boiling water and immediately plunge them into ice cold water to cool them and stop the cooking process. Drain the water from the veggies and if possible pat them dry. Let them cool.

Place the veggies in freezer containers or freezer bags, label them and put them straight into the freezer. Corn can be frozen on or off the cob but must be blanched for a

full 5 minutes or it will become tough. Vegetables are able to be stored for 3-4 months but some (such as root veggies) can be stored for as long as 6 months.

When freezing fruit it is best to freeze them on trays first then put them into containers. Apples and pears freeze best if they are blanched well because they are prone to freezer burn. Peaches can be frozen without blanching. Freeze fruits such as peaches and berries on trays individually before putting into containers or bags. Most fruit can be frozen for 4-5 months.

While the preparation is a little labor intensive to freeze food, it is worthwhile when you take it out of the freezer in the middle of winter and enjoy it like you just picked it from your garden.

RECIPE: Roasted Vegetable Greek Salad Roasted Veggie Greek Salad Autumn is almost upon us, but let’s not give up on having salads just yet! This salad includes some of our fall veggies making this a beautiful, colourful, and satisfying salad. It includes Brussels sprouts, squash and tomatoes (which are still plentiful in the garden).

It’s worth the extra few minutes to let the squash and Brussels sprouts get nice and toasty looking in the oven. This makes a generous salad for one or a side salad for two.

It’s easy and pretty fast to prepare.

Ingredients DD 2 cups baby spinach or spring mix DD 2 tablespoons melted coconut butter DD 1/2- 3/4 cup roasted Brussels sprouts DD 1/2-3/4 cup roasted butternut squash DD 4-6 olives chopped DD 1 medium or 5-6 cherry tomatoes

quartered DD 2 inch square of feta cheese crumbled DD 3 tablespoons olive oil DD 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar DD 1/2 teaspoon honey DD Salt and pepper to taste Directions for salad preparation Chop your squash into small pieces and cut the brussels sprouts in half.

Dear Kitty, I saved some seeds from my garden plants from last year and I wondered if I should throw away the ones I didn’t plant this year. How long can I save the seeds?

Thanks, Sad for the Seeds I Didn’t Plant Dear Sad, First of all bravo for saving your own seeds!! What a great way to become more self-sustaining. Seeds from vegetables most commonly grown can be viable for between 3-5 years as long as they are stored in a cool dry place. A few seeds that will not last as long are parsnips, onions and carrots.

They usually don’t germi-

Toss them in 2 tablespoons of melted coconut butter sprinkle with salt and pepper and spread out a cookie sheet. Roast the Brussels sprouts and squash in a preheated 350 degree oven until veggies are softened and slightly toasty brown coloured.

For the dressing combine the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small jar and shake well.

Place all the salad ingredients in a bowl, top with dressing and enjoy!

nate after a couple of years.

I find tomatoes and peppers will be less successful after 5-6 years but do great in the first 5 for sure. You can test older seeds in the spring by sprouting a few in wet paper towels to decide if you want to spend the time to plant older seeds.

However seeds stored in packets in sealed jars in the freezer have been known to sprout and grow wonderful plants even after 10 years or more. So it comes down to storage for the most part.

If you stored the seeds in a cool dry place you can plant them in your garden next year for sure!

Many congratulations on being a seed saver!

Kitty

SEED SAVING SERIES - The how of saving seeds PART THREE

By Kitty R. Lynn The fine art of saving seeds may seem a bit overwhelming, but it’s a bit science and a bit trial and error. Save lots so you have plenty and you can share or trade some. Let’s talk about just a few seeds and how to collect and store them.

How to save pepper seeds: All pepper seeds can be collected this way.

Let a few of the peppers stay on the plant until they become fully ripened and start to wrinkle. Take out the seeds and spread them out on paper to dry.

Be sure to label them because the seeds from the peppers look almost the same. When they are dry put them in envelopes clearly labelled with type of pepper and when you dried them. For example “GREEN PEPPER, SEPTEMBER 2015, VIGOROUS PRODUCER”. Place the envelopes in a tightly sealed glass container or jar. Store in a cool dry place.

Saving pea and bean seeds is just a matter of let-

ting the pods ripen on the plants until they are dry and turning brown. Shake a pod or two and listen for the peas or beans to rattle.

Pick the dried pods and put them on a tray (with seeds still in the pods) to dry indoors for several more weeks. After a few weeks shell the seeds out of the pods and put them in envelopes or paper bags to store. Clearly label your envelopes or bags and put them in a cool dry place.

Tomatoes are a different game all their own.

Scoop out the seeds of a fully ripe tomato, including the gooey gel around the seeds. The tomatoes can be cooked or just eaten. Put the seeds with the gel in a glass jar with some water.

Stir them up twice a day, for five days. The seeds and water will ferment, but the viable seeds will sink to the bottom. On day five pour off the liquid as well as any seeds that didn’t sink and rinse the good seeds. Spread the seeds out on paper towels to dry for several days. Once they are dry put them in envelopes clearly marked, and store in a cool dry place.

There are a lot of things to consider when saving cucumber, melon, squash, pumpkin and gourd seeds. If they have grown far apart from similar plants, the seeds can be harvested. The seeds are removed from the fruit and washed, dried and stored. If you are not sure if cross pollination occurred it’s better to get seeds from someone else who grew only one type of these vines. The fruit of the crossed plants may sometimes be tasteless or the plant may not produce fruit at all.

The science of saving seeds can be complicated but the trial and error is worth it in the spring when your new plants grow from the very seeds you collected from your own garden!

David Bouchard brings empowering message to Six Nations community

By TRT Staff Renowned motivational speaker David Bouchard visited Six Nations last week to deliver a number of talks to students, parents and educators.

Bouchard said that he emphasizes the teachings of the Great Law in his presentations.

“When I speak about the Great Law in Haudenosaunee territory, it speaks of righteousness. And it speaks of all of those things we hope our kids can implement in their lives.” Bouchard told The Two Row Times. “Right now part of the focus here in Six Nations is anti-bullying. It’s also respect, and it’s all of those things you find in the Great Law. My message to the kids starts with literacy and feeling good about who you are and building on who you are. So I talk to the kids about the fact that everyone has a gift, we just have to get on the right path and follow that path.”
