Remembering Blanche: a husband’s tribute

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – There have been two defining moments in Fred Hill’s life.

The day he married his wife Blanche and the day he gave his life to Christ – at 84 years young, he regrets neither.

“I loved my wife, and miss her so much,” he said.

Fred was married to his wife for 64 years and she passed away 17 months ago. Fred is thinking about writing a book to celebrate the life he shared with Blanche and their eight children.

“She passed away at 83 years old,” he said. “We met when we were kids, played together as kids and then got married as young adults. So even though we were only married 64 years I usually tell people that our life together began 75 years ago."

Fred and his wife shared their first home together in the village of Ohsweken where they worked together operating several different business. They used to own a daycare, run a tire-shop, sell hot dogs and hamburgers on the street and more, but shortly after the two got married, Fred felt that they were being guided in a new direction and Fred became a minister and evangelist.

A career that the two supported each other in for the next 50 years.

“I always wished that I could go back and find the people I interacted with before I became a

PHOTO BY JAYSON KOBLUN Christian so I could help them see life in a different light,” he said. “It’s sad, but most of my old friends are already passed — some committed suicide, some were killed in alcohol related car accidents and some died of old age, so I can’t tell everybody anymore. With this book I am thinking about writing, it’s an opportunity for me to share what I always wanted to with more people."

Fred said that before he became a Christian he was stuck in a cycle of alcoholism, drugs and other things that weren’t doing him and Blanche any good. He was raised in a Christian home, but had no desire to follow that lifestyle. One evening, unsure why, he asked his wife to go to the Six Nations Pentecostal Church

with him to hear a young preacher from Toronto speak. They went together and the two committed their life to Christ by the end of the week.

“When I became a minister, Blanche and I travelled the country and U.S. ministering to people in prisons, hospitals, parks — all over. I just want people who read the book about our lives to see and understand what it’s like to have a God centred life and marriage,” Fred said. “No, by no means am I saying our life and marriage was a piece of cake — issues came up and disagreements did happen, but putting Christ as the centre of our relationship is what helped us succeed.”

As much as Fred credits living a God centred life as

the means to the success in his marriage — he also thinks that another way to overcome obstacles in life is to work together as a team.

“When something bad happens, you overcome it together. You don’t get up and leave,” he said. “I don’t even necessarily mean this from a Christian standpoint, just in general, always work your discords out and be willing to give in. When you’re 100 per cent sure you’re right, you’re really probably not.”

Fred and Blanche were blessed with 64 beautiful years of marriage, but when Blanche first passed away Fred felt a little robbed.

“I thought God was going to keep us together until we were at an ex-

tremely old, ripe age. I was feeling terribly lonely and was praying that God would take me home to be with her,” he said. Fred explained that about a month ago, an old friend of his who he hadn’t seen for more than 30 years showed up at his house from Michigan unexpectedly. They had a chat on Fred’s porch and Fred told him how lonely he was feeling. His friend told him that God will take him when he is ready and not a moment sooner.

“Since then I feel like a completely different guy. I still miss my wife terribly but I no longer have the same desire to go that I did when she first passed,” Fred said.

Fred said that when Blanche first realized her time on this earth was coming to an end, she ask him to sit down so she could tell him goodbye.

“I was shaving — and she called me by my name, ‘Fredrick, can you come

here a minute’. I went in and seen what her problem was and she said have a chair and sit down. She said, “I wanna say goodbye to you’ and I knew right away that she was talking about death. She wasn’t saying goodbye because she was mad at me and she was leaving — it was a goodbye into death. She said ‘You've been a beautiful wonderful husband to me, I love you’ and then in response I said, ‘We’ll say goodbye here, but it'll be a good morning up there’.”

Almost two weeks slipped by after that and then that was it, she passed on. Fred said one thing he will never forget about Blanche was her love for Christ and her love for music and singing.

“Her favourite song was called the Family Circle,” he said. “She had the most beautiful voice and we had the time of our lives singing together.”

Tourists always welcome on Six Nations

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – Tourism on Six Nations is rapidly becoming a thriving industry where non-native individuals can come and learn how to respect and appreciate the Haudenosaunee culture and lifestyle — yet PMS Black C some city folk still aren’t sure how wellPMS their186 presence here is received.

“Every time I’ve driven through here I’ve never been entirely sure if I’m allowed to be here or not,” said a non-native man from Hamilton who asked not to be named. “I’ve never received bad treatment here or anything like that — I just have also never really known if the reserve is supposed to be off-limits for non-natives.

“I’ve also wondered if the white people who do come here often had to ask for special permission or something to come on to

the reserve,” he said.

We spoke with Tabitha Curley, corporate communications officer for Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) and she said that now is a good time for Six Nations Tourism to reach out and begin to welcome off-reserve individuals here to learn and educate themselves and let everyone know that people are welcome here.

“A lot of people who aren’t from here or have never been here think that all First Nations people are one and the same, which just isn’t true,” said Curley.

“Just to name a few in Canada — there are Longhouse people, there are those that live in Teepees, some that live in Wigwams and more — we are a completely diverse people group and a lot of people just don’t know that yet.”

Curley said that now

Full-Time Operations Supervisor (Permanent - All Shifts – On Call) Community Living Six Nations “Ronatahskats” is looking for an energetic, positive person who believes that; “All of our lives are better when everyone is included”.

If you have the compassion, creativity, drive and enthusiasm, and want to make a difference, we wish to meet you.

Operations Supervisor: Manages and coordinates the administrative organizational support areas such as finance, maintenance, quality assurance, human resources, reception, property management, asset management, IT, and clerical support. Initiates strategies which support the provision of quality services for individuals with developmental disabilities.

This includes participation in the goals and objectives of the organization and strategies to procure and deploy resources to meet needs.

Details regarding qualifications/job description may be picked up at reception at 30 Cao Lane or by email to: kwhite@bellnet.ca .

Please submit your cover letter, resume, and references to Stephanie Anderson at 30 Cao Lane or by email stephaniew@bellnet.ca . Applications should be received by August 3rd at 4:30pm.

Only those candidates successful in the Selection and Hiring Process will be contacted.

with recent curriculum changes in the school systems that involve educating children on more indigenous knowledge and history, tourism wants to invite off-reserve people here so they can learn new things in a healthy environment.

“We want people to come here and feel comfortable asking us questions and learning about who we are,” she said. “We can invite people here to learn about our culture and then we can also talk to them about some of our neighbouring communities so we can begin to break down some of these misconceptions that some people have about us all being the same.”

Curley said that people should feel comfortable driving on Six Nations’ roads and experiencing things that the community has to offer, but she said that the stigma of being unwelcome here may stem from several different historical factors.

“There is a very old bylaw about a curfew for non-native people, I'm pretty sure it has never been stuck down, and it says that a non-native person can’t be on the reserve after dark unless they are in the company of a Six Nations band member,” she said. “It was a real thing back then that people had to follow so I can see where that stigma comes from of being unwelcome.”

Curley went on to explain that not so long ago there was also a time when an indigenous person from the community couldn't leave the reserve without a ticket from an Indian Agent, so it makes sense why both groups, native and non-native might hold stigmas against each other from past hurts and mistakes.

“I can’t speak for the entire community by saying

everybody thinks that everyone should be welcome here, but from a tourism point of view, it’s beneficial,” she said.

Whenever non-natives come on to the territory and purchase products of any kind, that money goes into helping the economy here. “It absolutely helps us grow,” said Curley.

She added that it works both ways. A document from a 2009 leakage study showed that Six Nations and New Credit spent more than $200 million off of the community. Which means that money that was generated though employment and business here was spent on things like cars, groceries and other things off the reserve.

“Tourism brings money directly to the community, and that money clearly gets used for growth within and outside of the community,” she said. “Right now we don’t have the capacity to have a successful grocery store here because we only have so many people we can sell groceries too. Same thing for cars and homes. Things don’t tend to inflate here the way they do off reserve.”

To answer the question brought forward in this article of whether or not

non-natives are welcome here, Curley said that yes, she feels SNGRDC and Six Nations Tourism have no issues with non-natives visiting.

“Just treat our speed limits and laws like you would in any other community out of respect and safety for one another.”

SNGRDC is the parent company of Six Nations Bingo and a part of their slogan is that “Everyone is Welcome”. In the past, they have sent buses to pick up non-natives from Hamilton once a month to bring them to the bingo hall because a lot of the bingo players tend to be from off the reserve.

“There are so many things to do here on Six Nations that we want everyone to be a part of,” said Curley. “We just had our pow wow, but others things to do here include; the Six Nations Pageant Outdoor Theatre; OhswekDESIGN FILE 1A en Speedway; a number of beautiful art galleries that showcase our community’s talent like sculpture and beadwork and paintings; music festivals; and sports.

“Our sports culture is huge here and is something we encourage off-reserve individuals to come and watch get involved in,” said Curley.

Editorial by Jonathan Garlow The people of Six Nations have dual citizenship.

Some of us interpret that to mean that we are both Canadian and American, but what if it stands for something else?

Maybe our first nationality is whichever one we belong to – Kanienkeha:ka (Mohawk) and Gayogoho:no (Cayuga) seem to be most plentiful on Six Nations. Before 1784, the land we know as Ontario was part of the Dish with One Spoon, which was and still is a safe zone for hunting by treaty wampum. It was called the Beaver Hunting Grounds.

A census from 1785 showed 464 Mohawks, 381 Cayugas, 194 Onondaga, and 78 Seneca, migrated to the Grand River as a permanent settlement. A huge variety of other nations came with us including 113 Tutelos, 246 Delaware, 129 Tuscarora and 115 assorted others such as the Cherokee and Nanticokes.

Goodbye United States of America. We’ve been living here in our meat refrigerator ever since.

This is why we can go over to Buffalo and get our Social Security Number if we have a letter from our Band Office. We can be American if we want. And many of us do! We all know people that are living on the other side of the “imaginary line.”

There was a young fellow from Six Nations that was going through intake at Parris Island, South Carolina for the United States Marine Corps. During physical training Staff Sergeant Williams told one of our guys, “You North American native guys are the best athletes I’ve ever seen come through here.”

So we can thrive anywhere, really. It’s all our homeland, all of it.

In the meantime some of us are trying to figure out how we can stop being identified as Canadians.

Filling out forms is the worst, because Canadian forms funnel indigenous people into being identified as “First Nations of Canada”. It is insulting because it implies we were Canadians for the last 500,000 years when really Canada is really just an upstart colony — a corporation.

Yes, we have been playing along with their program for a few hundred years.

Most of us enjoy the benefits of the colonial franchise by taking advantage of the Ontario Health Card, Indian Status Card, and Social Insurance contracts but some indigenous people are taking sovereignty and nationhood to the next step.

Kanahus Manuel, a Secwpemc woman from British Columbia is a resistance fighter who has given birth to her children on her own territory and did not register them with the Canadian government.

She is in full control of their healthcare, education and well-being. These four hopefuls are called “Freedom Babies” by their clan.

They may have a very humble life, but it’s a good start.

opinions expressed in the letters or submitted opinion pieces are those of the writer and not necessarily those of the Two Row Times.

HDI: Where is the money?

Back in February of 2006, the Haudenosaunee people could not have been stronger. We had people from the West, the East, the North, the South, all of us came together and stood against a developer and the governments saying "Enough is enough!"

I was at the fire that summer of 2006 when people spoke about how united we were. Enemies stood beside each other for one cause. We should be proud — and we were.

The bad thoughts we had for each other were gone and only the good ones remained. We had the government scared. They had to come up with something to break this unity.

In the past they had tried disease, residential schools, mass genocide, but we are still here.

As I look back on 2006-2008 I think the government came up with a "BRAND NEW PLAN”: Break the HCCC and send in one of their own.

HDI came into effect. Now when it started, it was a good idea. The people were told they didn’t have to lay our lives on the line, be away from our families, we could go back to work and let HDI handle things. Well they handled things alright.

Nobody knows whats going on.

When you question HDI they say “go to your chiefs we answer to HCCC, not the people.” But when you go to the HCCC they say “go to HDI”. Back at square one.

Volume 3, Issue 50 657 Mohawk Road Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, Ontario, N0A 1H0 Make all cheques payable to: Garlow Media Printed at Ricter Web, Brantford ON

Where is the land they were supposed to get back? All I'm told is energy companies are going to develop it. There's housing development popping up everywhere along the Grand River. HDI is now dealing with "dozens of companies"?

So where is the money?

Why do our elderly and disabled still have to buy medicine when it isn't covered? Why are they still living without running water? Why do they not have a support system set up to help families when members need 24 hr care? All of these things and more could be set up for the people instead certain people are getting rich.

Has anyone wondered how much we pay Aaron Detlor in a year? Or Directors Hazel Hill and Brian Doolittle? Or HCCC, how much do they get paid per meeting?

If Chiefs and Clan Mothers are getting paid to sit in council, like Band Councillors, they no longer have the people's best interest at heart.

They no longer can fulfill the responsibilities they were stood up for because their pay cheque is the first thing on their minds, not their people.

This is evident in what took place in July's council. Trying to make "a change in title" by picking another clan's Clanmother. Really HCCC? The Mohawks, Oneida, Seneca, and Onondaga Nations CANNOT decide who the Cayuga Wolf Clanmother is going to be. We have someone to take that role. We will do things the right way!

The Wyandot Nation did not meet

with the Gayogoho:noh Otahyo:ni:, to address their concerns. We were surprised to hear this is what was happening at the longhouse. This is a Cayuga Wolf Clan issue. No other Nation or Clan can step in.

As for the woman who had issue with the lineage of some of our clan members. An adoption that took place 70 years ago with the HCCC of that era does matter.

We do have a voice, get your facts straight before making statements in public, at the longhouse. Start following protocol and have respect for our elders.

That sound decision was made in the late 1940's concerning my family, never to be spoken of again. We now belong to the Gayogoho:no Nation.

With that being said now in 2016, instead of being a strong nation we now have clan mothers and chiefs disagreeing with each other. HCCC is going by the status quo instead of consensus — making decisions without the people and not listening.

Longhouse people and families are fighting with each other, arguing in longhouse, swearing and disrespecting each other, spreading rumours of dehorning a chief without just cause, and over what? The almighty dollar!

Stop and think about what is happening and why its happening!

If this is the "BRAND NEW PLAN" it's working and we can lose everything. THINK ABOUT IT HCCC! Respectfully, Gajijantah Gayogoho:noh Otahyo:ni:

Indigenous Summer Games succeed on many fronts

By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS/BRANTFORD – The Aboriginal Sports and Wellness Council of Ontario’s 2016 Ontario Indigenous Summer Games drew an estimated 225 registered aboriginal athletes from throughout Ontario, along with family and coaches who came to Six Nations Territory last weekend, some for the first time.

Young athletes competed at a number of venues in a wide range of sporting events, which organizers saw as a precursor to the 2017 North American Indigenous Games being held in Toronto at around this time next year.

Six Nations and Brantford hosted the Games at a number of venues at Brantford, Ancaster and Six Nations last weekend.

Although not an official qualifying event for the 2017 NAIG Games, it was certainly a way to put your name in for consideration with an Ontario Summer Games medal.

“I’d say it’s more of an identifier than a qualifier,” explained Dallas Squire,

The Mohawk Nation organization in collaboration with the Iroquois Lacrosse Program helped host the 2016 Indigenous Summer Games last week by holding the opening ceremonies inside the palisade of the reproduction of a 17th century Haudenosaunee longhouse. Maintenance on the longhouse restored it to near perfect condition to host the event. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE who along with Cam Bomberry and Kevin Sandy, operates the Iroquois Lacrosse Program.

Iroquois Lacrosse played an important role in hosting the opening ceremonies at Kanata Mohawk Village on Mohawk Road which is on Mohawk land

within Brantford.

Former NLL star and Hall of Famer, Cam Bomberry, ex-National Lacrosse Leaguer Dallas Squire, and Director, Business Operations of Iroquois Lacrosse, Kevin Sandy, could see the goals of both the Aboriginal Sports and Wellness

Council and their own, as dovetailing together well.

They were pleased to link arms with those who resurrected the Ontario Aboriginal Summer Games and offered whatever help they could to making it happen.

“There are a lot of events that don’t get a lot of participation like swimming, rifle shooting and archery,” says Squire. “We gave some attention to those sports so that Ontario would have a better showing in those sports at the NAIG’S.” Squire, Sandy and Bomberry helped organize and oversee the lacrosse competitions over the weekend of the Ontario Indigenous Summer Games.

“It was great,” said Bomberry. “We spoke with kids from the Kenora region, to north of Sioux Lookout, from Akwesasne and Tyendinaga. From everywhere.”

This was the second incarnation of the Ontario Aboriginal Summer Games.

“There was somebody doing this several years ago but it went under,” recalls Squire. “Now, with the support of ASWCO (Aboriginal Sport & Wellness Council of Ontario), Ontario has really stepped up with a number of events, Ontario Summer Games being one of them.

ASWCO is the Provincial Territorial Aboriginal Sport Body (PTASB) for Ontario that provides a variety of programs that pro-

mote healthy living and offers training, certifications and support for coaches, athletes and other organizations.

It was far more than an athletic competition. According to Bomberry, it was also a sharing of culture.

In preparation for hosting the Games, Squire, Sandy and Bomberry, along with members of the Mohawk Nation put a lot of effort into restoring the Iroquois longhouse and palisade, which is the central piece at the former museum.

“We did a lot of the heavy lifting and countless hours getting the longhouse ready, right up to the 11th hour before the Games,” said Bomberry.

While in the territory, Aboriginal athletes from diverse cultural backgrounds had opportunity to share some of their own culture while learning about the Six Nations of the Grand River lacrosse culture and elements of the Great Peace, a.k.a., the Great Law. “Our culture runs very deep here at Six Nations as well as it is in their own communities,” says Squire.

“For them to come and see our traditional dwellings and take part in our traditional culture like lacrosse, I think that’s pretty important.”

Organizers have received high marks for their hospitality during the

games and especially at Kanata Village.

“We had a nice meal together and that environment alone, along with the good weather, was inviting enough to say, you are more than welcome to come back and maybe stay with us a bit longer next time,” said Bomberry.

The opening ceremony was loaded with culture and talent with guests, the Haudenosaunee Dancers, an Anishinaabe dancer.

The Kahawi Dance Theatre also did a performance for the athletes and guests.

Keynote speakers included Six Nations professional golfer, Jesse Smith, as well as Anaheim Ducks NHL property and lacrosse star Brandon Montour.

All gave a message of perseverance, education, a healthy lifestyle and lots of practice as the cornerstones of success.

It was an amazing success according to both athletes and organizers in terms of athleticism, but more importantly, in instilling cultural identity and pride they can take home with them, win, lose or draw.

Co-founder of Iroquois Lacrosse, Cam Bomberry explains what the goals and mandate of their program are, saying, “It’s a group of lacrosse guys and girls that do lacrosse skill development among Aboriginal youth beginning with the history and the creation of lacrosse and education around the game and how it connects so close to our culture. It’s that part of it we like to share because there is so much rich history behind it. To us it is much more than a sport.”

Bomberry and his partners also see the game as medicine.

“It’s the medicine part of it that keeps the kids involved and keeps them outside and active, an on the right path,” says Bomberry. “It was great to watch the kids out there running around having fun. Sure there was some friendly competition, but at the end of the day I think they all enjoyed it.”

“A key factor with us is working with the Mohawk Nation to revive this place (Kanata Village) and doing it from a good spot in the heart.”

Red Barn closes another great season

By Chezney Martin

OHSWEKEN – Stories of experiences at the Red Barn — an arts and crafts camp held during the summer for youth in Six Nations to enjoy — have been told for generations.

This year, the day to pick up hand-made crafts from the fabled Red Barn landed on Friday, July 25, after youth spent up to two weeks learning how to create traditional crafts from moccasins to beaded barrettes at the Sour Springs (Upper Cayuga) Longhouse.

“Next year will be our 50th,” said Red Barn Co-ordinator Marion Martin, as she explained that there were 119 youth signed up for the

This year the most we had at one day was 84, usually we're up into a hundred so that's quite a bit down,” she said.

But, regardless of the numbers, Martin still enjoys being able to help offer the awesome two weeks of crafting to

youth within the community.

“I'm always excited that I get to see another season through. I've been with the Red Barn since '49, so I'd say 40 years at least. And I've been co-ordinator for the last 15,” she said.

“We had a lot of student helpers, which was excellent, they helped out all of the teachers. It was

another really good year,” she said. “We had new instructors; 18 instructors and we had 22 different crafts that they taught.

So, one teacher taught three crafts in her time, and another did two.”

“Art did his drums and rattles again, he keeps saying [that this is his] 'last year,'” she said with a laugh.

“It's getting hotter and I'm getting lazier,” joked Johnson. “Can't get around the way I used to; because before it was nothing to have 10 kids here and I'd end up having to pretty-well finish their rattles, handles and everything. But, now I can't do it anymore.”

Not to worry; however, Johnson explained that he has been teaching an apprentice to be able to take over in the coming years.

“I've been teaching Ed' a couple of things, and he's getting pretty good.

He's a good carver,” he said.

But, the Red Barn didn't get it's name from the Sour Springs Longhouse. Johnson explained that the location of the Red Barn moved from the old silver barn across the road, to a spot along the Grand River around the time he began teaching.

“It was different, everything was out in the open, like we didn't have

tents. But I used to have a good spot over there, right under the poplar trees. There used to be a circle of poplar trees and I used to sit in there and set up,” he said.

“It was right where Barbie built her house, Marions' girl,” he said.

“They tore the old barn down. But, she bought that land and we didn't know where we'd go, so we asked about coming here. It was nice here,” he said.

But, much like the red barn on Sixth Line, the old Sour Springs Longhouse had recently been disassembled.

“That's where I used to have my set up, right along the longhouse there,” he said, motioning to the spot the Longhouse stood. “Things change. We used to use the old one if it started raining too.”

But, even though “things change,” the Red Barn will happily reach it's fiftieth anniversary next year where it is hoped to continue even further for future generations to enjoy.

Online shopping now for LCBO

By Nahnda Garlow TORONTO — Ontario is now offering online shopping options for up to 5,000 different products from the LCBO. Online shoppers can have Canada Post deliver products directly to their home for $12 per order plus tax or shipped free for pickup at any of the LCBO’s 655 stores. A $50 minimum applies to online orders.

The online shopping option is the latest change in how Ontario consumers access alcohol. Last winter a project to place beer in a limited number of grocery stores was launched. This June, cider has also been

made available in grocery stores and wine is set to be available this coming fall.

According to a statement from the province, Canada Post and the LCBO will ensure online orders are only made by and delivered to adults of legal drinking age.

In the future up to 16,000 different types of alcohol will be available to the public online.

George Soleas, President and CEO for the LCBO said, ”This e-commerce platform draws on our local and international supplier relationships and buying power, efficient supply chain and extensive store network– bringing our customers across Ontario

better access to a world of products. This new virtual LCBO store is a natural extension of our in store shopping experience.”

A statement from the province says the launch of the website “strengthens LCBO's ability to generate revenue for Ontarians and continue to fund key public services such as health care and education.”

Six Nations Elected Council brought the issue of alcohol delivery up at General Council Tuesday night.

Council confirmed there is currently no bylaw prohibiting alcohol purchased off the reserve to be delivered to homes on the territory by a third party.

Six Nations Police are urging anyone on this or similar accusations to come forward — and say all calls will be kept confidential.

Faithkeeper says Niagara Falls is sacred

By Danielle Be NIAGARA FALLS – The ride has been called “phenomenal” with “spectacular views” of both the American and Horseshoe Falls, the MIstRider opened on July 20, 2016.

It’s a zipline that crosses 2,200 feet over the Niagara Gorge, approaching speeds of 65 kilometres per hour.

Onondaga nation faithkeeper Oren Lyons is upholding his responsibility to remember and share stories that promote a healthy and respectful Haudenosaunee way of life by reminding people that Niagara Falls is a living monument and just how important it is to Indigenous cosmologies.

Because it is the home of the Thunder Beings and is the birthplace of medicines, healing, recovery and communion, the priority should always be the essence of the Falls.

Lyons speaks of the Falls being “an absolute symbol of life.” To remind people of the historical importance of the place, Lyons retells the story

of the Maid of the Mist.

In ancient times, a young native woman fell asleep in a field and a snake entered her body as she slept and made her poisonous.

Three times she married, three times her husbands died. “In her despair, she said, ‘Obviously, there is something wrong with me and the best thing is to get rid of myself,’” Lyons said.

She threw herself over Niagara Falls but the Thunder Beings rescued her from death and brought her into their sanctuary and caused the snake to be removed. The Thunder Beings showed her medicines, plants and taught her the mysteries of healing. They also gave her a choice. She could stay or she could go back as an ordinary person trained in the ways of medicine but without any memories of the spirits at the Falls.

There was only one thing. She must never pound or hammer anything. This action would bring lightening and would bring her back under the Falls. Eventually, Lyons said, the lightening

happened while she was pounding cornmeal. “It’s an Indian story,” he said, “and Indian stories have different endings.”

With this story, Lyons hopes to remind us of the power of Niagara Falls.

Not only for the historical importance but for the present day miracles, as well. The Great Lakes represents 1/5 of the surface fresh water on the entire planet. All of that comes together in Niagara Falls.

To Lyons, fresh water is the ultimate healing medicine.

What Lyons is asking is that the wonder of the place, the miracles of water are never lost amid all the tourist attractions.

“Human beings want to imprint on everything,” Lyons said, “We need to be respectful of those sacred places, not only here, but around the world.”

“The whole idea of healing comes from the falls, and that falls is what it is, regardless of what gets built around it,” Lyons said. “My hope is that people will always see it.”

Looney loons jousting on the open water

By Jayson Koblun ALGONQUIN – One of the most fascinating things about the loon is their distinctively haunting voice, but watching two male loons duke it out in a territorial battle while the females watch and cheer on their partner is a rare sight to see.

Loons are a group of diving birds found in many parts of North America and Northern Eurasia that start to establish territories on a lake near the end of April, but that doesn’t mean that once a territory is claimed by a pair of loons that their position can’t be claimed by another in what sometimes leads to a fight to the death between males.

Jeremy Bochenek, an avid fisherman and birdwatcher witnessed a territorial battle for a small patch of lake between two pairs of loons on a canoe trip in Algonquin park a few weeks ago.

“We were fishing from our canoe in the middle of

A loon can dive more that 200 feet under the water and when a male does this in a territorial battle, he is preparing for an attack. The male who dove will soon change direction and head to the surface like a torpedo, aiming his dagger-like three-inch beak at an opposing male's heart. SUBMITTED PHOTO the lake and we watched the two pairs swim toward each other until they met in the middle, near us. One loon would dive under for a few moments and soon after that, another would make a different kind of cry I’ve never heard before and run across the water,

really fast, using his wings to propel him forward.”

Bochenek was with a few other friends and all of them thought it was interesting, but also funny to watch a loon take off running on top of the water for several hundred metres like the Road Runner would

from a Looney Tunes cartoon. The unique cry that he and his friends heard is called a “loon’s yodel” — a long, rising call with repetitive notes lasting up to six seconds. It is used by the male to defend his territory and can be stimulated by another male entering a

loon's territory.

Bochenek found out when he returned from his trip that it is the males that dive down and also run across the water, not the females. Males are usually the ones that battle for territory while the females stay above the surface hoping that their partner is successful.

“I had never seen loons battle for anything before, they’re usually so calm and peaceful out on a lake,” he said. “But as soon as I saw what was going on I was pretty sure they were fighting for space on the lake.”

A loon can dive more that 200 feet under the water and when one of the males does this, he is preparing for an attack, which is what sets the other male off running in fear because he doesn’t know where the first male went. The male who dove will soon change direction and head to the surface like a torpedo, aiming his dagger-like threeinch beak at the opposing

males chest, hoping to spear his heart — not your typical brawl you might expect from an animal.

“When the loons weren’t diving or running, all four were just on top of the water circling each other,” said Bochenek. “We didn’t see either of the loons get killed, but after a good amount of time one of the pairs did swim off in the direction they came — my guess is they lost.”

Until recently, loons were thought to mate for life; however, recent studies have shown that loons will often switch mates if their previous mate does not return in the spring or is displaced or killed by a rival loon during the breeding season. So the female partnered with the loon that loses the battle, will likely will move on to a different location and a different mate.

“It was really cool,” said Bochenek. “Definitely one of the highlights of the trip.”

Community invited to Creation Lab showcase this weekend

By Jayson Koblun SIX NATIONS – Kaha:wi Dance Theatre’s two week long creation lab is coming to an end this week and participants will be showing what they’ve learned to the public at two events — one this Wednesday at the Woodland Cultural Centre and the other on Saturday at the Ohsweken Community Centre.

We met up with Santee Smith, artistic director for Kaha:wi Dance Theatre on the fourth day of their lab for an update, just as they were finishing up a yoga class.

“It’s been epic,” said Smith. “The group of people the instructors and I have been working with are killing it on all lev-

els. We’ve been using our bodies and also our voices — sometimes a dancer isn’t always comfortable using their voice, but all the students are actively participating and doing a great job with what we’re asking them to do — not just the ones with theatre backgrounds.”

The instructors and students get to the community centre around 9:30 every morning and begin moving by 10 a.m. and work until 6 p.m. “It’s our fourth day today and everybody is definitely feeling the hours of hard work they’ve been putting in,” said Smith. “But it seems like everybody is really enjoying themselves and taking in all they can from what we are teaching them.”

The instructors come from mostly Western and Central Canada, but a few have also come from New Zealand to help teach the participants some traditional Maori dances — like the haka. Smith said that they learned the Ka Mate haka earlier in the week from Nancy Wijohn, a dancer and choreographer from Auckland, New Zealand.

“The haka is a traditional war cry, dance, or challenge from the Maori people of New Zealand,” said Wijohn. “It’s a very energetic, get moving kind of practice and most of the energy comes up and out through the eyes.”

Smith said that apart from their classes every day, there have been a few

evening events that were open to the community where instructors and participants could show some of what they’ve learned to the crowd and the crowd was invited to participant as well.

“We had about four or five families come to the community events and we showed them several different things,” said Smith. “We started with learning some things of the Maori people — acknowledging their land, mountains, rivers, affiliations, families and then we finally got to introducing one another.”

There will be another community event held on Wednesday July 27th at the Woodland Cultural Centre that Smith said anyone is invited to at-

tend and participate.

“You are allowed to just watch, but we definitely want to encourage group participation,” she said.

On June 30th, the last day of the lab, the group will host a closing ceremony of sorts, or a showcase of all the hard work they have been doing.

Everyone is invited to attend, food and drink will be served, but guests are welcome to bring their own favourite dish to share too.

“We’re going to show the community what we’ve been learning and we really want our participants to get feedback from the audience about how they dance, and how their performances come across to an audience. It’s

all about learning from one another.”

Wijohn said that the lab has been going great so far and that just by seeing how exhausted all the participants are shows their dedication to the practices. Both Wijohn and Smith agree that the one of the the best things that can come out of this lab is the relationship building and connections that the group will now share.

“We need to keep these international connections strong as we plan for future projects and labs,” said Smith. “It’s really about relationship building and keeping these links strong across all Turtle Island.”

VIDEO GAME REVIEW Squad (WINDOWS / PC)

Movement in the tree line

By Jonathan Garlow

SQUAD is a tactical first person video game that many are calling an online milsim, which is short form for military simulation, and sells for $40. Developer Offworld Industries says their goal was to create a game “built around teamwork and co-operation.” I say that SQUAD is the next generation of video gaming.

It wouldn’t be possible until now.

Many years ago, outdoor environments were notoriously difficult to render in a 3D environment. One of the first mil-sim’s was released in 1993 for DOS and it was called Seal Team.

This ambitious game had a flat green earth, a simple blue sky and trees that looked like green cones pointing upwards. The gameplay was great but the visual technology just wasn’t there.

In 2015 the folks over at Offworld Industries used the Unreal Engine 4 to begin creation of their own version of a previous mod they had developed for Battlefield 2 which was called Project Reality.

And reality is something the team has achieved.

Seal Team was one of the first military simulations. FILE PHOTO The instant you fire your weapon the crack of the gunpowder explodes and dust kicks up around you.

It’s such a simple thing, but no other game handles it like this. Every sound is 100 per cent accurate. Localized VoIP technology (voice-over IP) means you can use your microphone to voice chat with teammates within 20 yards.

The voice-over IP feature is one of the best parts about SQUAD. There are Reddit threads wondering why every online game doesn’t implement VoIP. I’ve had some great conversations with teammates using this technology (and also some not so great “conversations”).

The landscapes, trees, hills and skies of the SQUAD world are rendered with realistic lighting and shadow effects that leads to one thing — immersion. Half of the maps have huge green forests littered with bases

and underground bunkers to explore. The other half seem straight out of Afghanistan, complete with opium fields and brown stone buildings.

There was a moment when I was laying prone in some bushes waiting for the enemy to run across a roadway. After a lengthy wait, I noticed four American helmets moving just behind a stone wall. They didn’t know I was there and my adrenaline hit me as I stood up and rushed in.

I ran around behind them and mowed them down with my M4 carbine in close combat. They crumpled onto the pebbled ground and that was it. A simulated event like that didn’t happen to me ever before and maybe never will again.

In military combat this could have been a medal-winning moment, but it was both glorious and terrible — it felt dirty. Why? SQUAD is designed to accommodate 100 players on a 50 vs. 50 server and this means the battlefields are absolutely huge. It also means that most combat is done at medium and long ranges. You don’t even know where the enemy is sometimes until they open

up and fire on you.

This game doesn’t hold your hand. Your character dies from one rifle bullet to the chest or head or two in any extremity. Rarely do you fight up close and personal, but when it does happen it’s very memorable.

There can be some really amazing action.

Unfortunately, most of your time in SQUAD is spent either hiking with a gun, running with a gun or staring into the forest with a gun hoping to see some movement. For those of us who grew up in the bush amongst forest culture, this video game seems very familiar.

There is a plan to implement vehicles by August 2016 which will help transport players in and out of battle which will hopefully cut down on the running simulator aspect of the game.

There was another time I was running with my squad having a nice jog and we realized there was a single enemy jogging along beside us. Because there isn’t a HUD it’s hard to tell friend from foe except by uniform colours and weapons. We had to put him down.

After 100 hours in, I finally feel confident with the standard load out of assault rifle, fragmentation grenade and smoke grenade. You are also provided with bandages to stop bleeding, and a shovel to build reinforcements for your Forward Operating Base (FOB).

Each squad requires players to choose the medic position and you have to sneak around the battlefield and revive friendly players. There is also a grenadier and rocket launcher guy and heavy arms dude for suppressive fire, which really does make a difference in this game. When a bullet whizzes past your head the screen gets blurry for a few seconds.

The most important position is the Squad leader (SL). The SL directs their eight-man team whilst forming strategies with the other leaders over voice communications.

Not everyone is cut out for leading their own squad.

A squad leader needs to know the battlefield but the most successful ones have the voice, personality and charisma to be get their team following orders.

The intricate ways your squads interact on the battlefield is truly the backbone of this monumental game. It really lives up to its motto — Communicate.

Co-ordinate. Conquer.

SQUAD STRENGTHS: -Top notch graphics and sound are realistic and immersive.

-100 player maps are mind blowing -VoIP communication is next-gen.

SQUAD WEAKNESSES: -$40 for an unfinished game in alpha stage? Wait for a Steam sale.

-Finding a good game is difficult. NA Servers seem completely full or empty.

-Steep learning curve. In the beginning you will die. A lot.

A Minto Cup three-peat in the offing for Arrows

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The double Minto Cup Champion Six Nations Arrows take another step towards a three-peat as National Jr. A lacrosse champions by eliminating the St. Catharines A’s in the quarter-final round last week.

Monday night, at the ILA, they opened the divisional semi-final against the Mimico Mountaineers.

Mimico finished fourth in the regular season, but carry a decent amount of fire-power into the series.

Tanner Thompson, #17, leads the Mountaineers in scoring accumulating nine goals and eight assists in the three games against Burlington in the first round.

Another hot stick the Arrows will have to contain is #22, Matthew Lee who is bringing eight goals and eight assists into the series. Derek Downs #77 and Jonathan Donville will also have to be closely watched.

But the Mountaineers will have their own

Six Nations Arrows' Austin Staats scored three and assisted on three in Monday night's 8-5 win over the Mimico Mountaineers in Game #1 of the best-of-seven Jr. A semi-finals played at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. As of Tuesday morning, Staats leads the Arrows offense with 9 goals, 13 assists for 22 points in four playoff games. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE hands full trying to contain the likes of Austin Staats, Chris Cloutier, Tahoka Nanticoke, Brendan Bomberry and more.

That is something

Mimico was unable to do in Game 1 of the best-ofseven, Monday night as the Arrows won 8-5.

Staats scored the only two goals of the first pe-

riod to put the pressure on the Mountaineers to catch up.

Mimico had a much better second period outscoring the Arrows 5-2 to

even the game at 5-5 after 40 minutes.

Nanticoke, Staats and Owen MacDonald kept Mimico from blowing the doors off the Arrows in the second.

Steady, methodic pressure paid off for the Arrows in the third as Nanticoke, Zach Miller and Nolan Apers slowly pulled ahead while Goaltender of the year, Doug Jamieson closed the door on Mimico shooters.

The series continues Tuesday night in Game 2, which will miss our deadline.

Game 3 is set for 8 p.m., Thursday, July 28th back at the ILA before returning to Mimico for Game 4 of the best-of-seven series. If necessary, Game 5 will be a 7 p.m. start at the ILA, Game 6 in Mimico Aug. 2nd, and Game 7 at the ILA Wednesday, August 3rd at 8 p.m.

The Jr. A Arrows were no match against the St. Catharines Athletics in the Quarterfinal round of the OLA Jr. A post season, falling to the Chiefs 14-6 in Game 1, 8-6 in the sec-

ond and finishing them off July 21st, 7-5 at the ILA. Meanwhile the Orangeville Northmen were eliminating the Kitchener/Waterloo Braves in three straight. Mimico eliminated the Burlington Chiefs in three games as well. It was a little closer matchup in the Brampton/Whitby series as that series went four games with Brampton coming out on top to move on into the semi-finals.

Austin Staats led the Arrows offence in the first round with six goals and 10 assists in three games.

Meanwhile, the Orangeville and Brampton duke it out in series B with the winners of each moving into the league championship finals.

TOP: Chris Cloutier is having a great year since coming to the Arrows from the KW Braves in a mid-June trade. He scored 40 points in seven regular season games and in four playoff games as of Tuesday, he has five goals and 10 assists. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

The Ennismore James Gang got the assignment to try and knock off last year’s champs after winning their opening series over the Wallaceburg Thrashers, but it didn’t start out well for them at all.

In the first game, Friday night at the GPA, the Rivermen found themselves having to come from behind for a 6-5 win after opening a 4-1 first period lead over the Gang with goals scored by Stu Hill, two by Layne Smith and one by Tommy Montour.

Kyle Trolley scored for Ennismore.

Goalie Grant Crawley and the Rivermen defence took a break in the second period as Joel Wasson, Pat McCrory, Jeff Swift and Josh Gilray turned the 4-1 Six Nations lead into a 5-4 definite.

“Grant has a 10-0 record with us,” defends Montour.

“Like everybody else he has a bad period now and then.”

After giving their collective heads a shake between periods, the Rivermen evened the score with Dwayne Porter’s first of the night at 2:42 of the third. He also recorded the game winner at 14:38 from Roger Vyse and Wayne Hill.

“We were a bit rusty from having two weeks off,” said coach Stew Montour. “We are a team that has to keep the engine

running. We don’t respond well to time off.”

Game 2 was a lot less dramatic as the Rivermen rebounded after shaking off the rust in Game 1, with an easy 10-3 win in Ennismore.

“We just went back to the basics and played a patient game in Ennismore,” said Montour. “That’s where we find the most success.”

Travis Bland opened the scoring from Roger Vyse and Cory Bomberry before the two-minute mark.

Wasson answered for the Gang less than a minute later.

Bomberry, Vyse and two

by Tom Montour created a 5-1 Six Nations lead after 20 minutes.

The James Gang cut the lead to 5-2 in the second, but that did not stop the Rivermen offence. Chayton King, Rodd Squire Jr.,

Six Nations Chiefs look for playoff position

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations Chiefs have a secure playoff spot albeit, a fourth place absurdity, but a successful week in the last two games of the regular season could produce a third or even second place finish.

The Peterborough Lakers own fist place with a

12-3-1 record, but the 9-52 Chiefs stand one point behind both Oakville and Brooklin. Wins this week over Brampton, Tuesday July 26th at the ILA and again Thursday July 28th, could make a difference in the final standings and playoff matchups.

Last Tuesday, July 19th, the Oakville Rock and the Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs

played to a 9-9 regulation time tie coming back from an 8-4 deficit after two periods and clawing back with a five goal third period while Warren Hill held the Rock to one goal.

In the OT period Oakville struck first but Dhane Smith and Randy Staats closed the extra frame to eek out an 11-10 OT win.

Six Nations Carey-Leigh Thomas brings home the bronze

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Twenty-three-year-old Carey-Leigh Thomas has added a World Bronze medal to her trophy case after Team Canada earned a Bronze Medal at the World Softball Championships played in Surrey, B.C. between July 14 and 21.

Thomas arrived back home to Six Nations late Monday a bit tired, but pretty stoked at the same time.

“The last time Team Canada stepped onto the podium was six years ago in 2010,” she smiles.

“That’s a pretty big deal.”

Team Canada has placed fourth in recent years behind USA, Japan and Australia, but this year, the Aussies did not have as strong a team as in years past while Team Canada was more than ready to take over their usual third place finish behind USA and Japan.

Canada finished 4th in

2012 in Whitehorse, Yukon. Thomas took 2013 off to give birth to her first child and returned to the program in 2014, in Amsterdam for another fourth place finish. It is Canada’s second

bronze, which they also won in 2010. Thomas also played in the Pan/ Am Games for Team Canada.

At 23, she still has a lot of competitive ball to play before hanging up

the cleats and is already anxious about 2018 when the tournament will be hosted in Tokyo, Japan.

She has years of international competition under her belt already having played for the Brantford Bobcats where she won Canadian Championship Gold medals in 2006, 2008 and 2011.

Thomas, the only full Native on the team, quickly earned a big following of fans from Surrey area reserves who came out to watch “that Native girl on third base”.

Teammate Megan Gurskyi, from Saskatchewan, has half Native blood and Thomas and her found an instant friendship.

Along the way, Team Canada defeated Great Britain 3-0, Ireland 9-2, Uganda 15-0, Venezuela 6-1, Puerto Rico 100, Italy 3-1, China 5-4, Mexico 5-0, Netherlands 9-2, before losing 11-1 to Japan n the medal round.

Team USA won the Gold, and Japan earned Silver.

Six Nations softball star Carey-Leigh Thomas returned from Surrey, British Columbia Monday night with a bronze medal she earned as a member of Team Canada at the World Women's Softball Championships.

Black Eye Warriors fight night to showcase “The Razor” Hess

By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Six Nation boxer, Karl “The Razor” Hess has the target in mind of turning pro in the not too distant future, and he is mowing down anyone standing in his way.

Saturday night, July 16th in Goderich, “The Razor” scored a unanimous decision win over Toronto’s Tom Hawthorne.

Having faced Hawthorne before, Hess and coach Jackie Armour designed a fight plan to exploit Hawthorne’s weaknesses and avoid his strengths.

Hess went for the body in the first round and according to Armour won the round decisively.

In the second round he opened it up a bit more with a head and body assault and continued his assault to take the decision.

Fighting under the banner of Brantford’s Black Eye Boxing Club, Hess is a late-comer to the ring. At 23-years-old, Hess has exhibited an exceptional amount of ring-savvy. His body is mature and in it’s prime and even without a lot of formal training, Armour, has worked Hess into a

first class fighter in a relatively short time.

Armour of Brantford’s Black Eye Boxing club will be showcasing his Six Nations boxers August 27th at the Brantford Curling Club at 34 Morrell Street in Holmdale, Brantford, in an event named, Black Eye Warriors night.

There will be several bouts on the card in a number of weight classes but the feature events will include three Six Nations fighters. Karl Hess (7-1), Jake Martin (6-2+1 exhibition), and the debut bout of 14-year-old Ricki Martin.

“I am still looking for an opponent for Ricki,” says Armour. “She has been with me for about year now and I think it’s about time we get her into the ring.”

Armour is finalizing other bouts to be included on the fight card but promises 8-10 bouts.

Black Eye’s last fight night at the Curling Club went extremely well and drew a good audience.

Armour is hoping to see as many Six Nations fight fans as possible to cheer on their home grown fighters.

Six Nations boxers, Jake Martin (left), Karl Hess (right) and 14-year-old Ricki Miller (seated) will be featured on August 27th at the Brantford Curling Club at 34 Morrell Street in Holmdale, Brantford, in an event being called, Black Eye Warriors night.

Biggest youth lacrosse event in North America set to begin

By Jim Windle WHITBY – The 10th annual Ontario Lacrosse Festival, the largest annual youth lacrosse event in North America, is set to being at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre, in Whitby, beginning Sunday July 29th with the official Opening Ceremonies set for Sunday, July 31st.

Peewee and Midget teams from throughout Canada will compete.

This year nearly 557 teams and 11,028 players and coaches are expected to participate in the Festival. The expanded size of the event sees the use of four municipalities to incorporate all those attending. Facilities in use for the 2016 Festival are: Iroquois Park, McKinney Arena, and Luther Vipond Arena in Whitby, Legends Centre in Oshawa, Rickard Recreation Complex in Clarington, the Ajax Community Centre in Ajax, and the Don Beer Arena in Pickering.

In addition to the indoor

tournament competition, an outdoor Festival Fun Zone is on-site providing unique, engaging and experiential opportunities for Festival fans.

"The Ontario Lacrosse Festival is a 10-day combination of great competition and fun for the entire family,” said Ontario Lacrosse Association President John Doherty.

The television broadcast schedule will feature four games broadcast live on Saturday, August 6th on the Rogers Ontario network: The bronze medal game of the Warrior Pee Wee Lacrosse Championship of Canada at 1:30 p.m. (bronze medal game).

The finals of the Pee Wee Lacrosse Championship of Canada at 3:05 p.m. (gold medal game) The bronze medal game of the Warrior Midget Lacrosse Championship of Canada at 6:30 p.m.

The finals of the Warrior Midget Lacrosse Championship of Canada at 8:05 p.m. (gold medal game).

Repeat broadcasts will be aired on future Rogers Television dates within Ontario.

"We are very pleased to partner with Rogers Television to deliver the full flavour of one of the largest community-based

youth sport events in Canada and the minor lacrosse national championships.

The increased awareness of Canada's national summer sport is a direct result of a growing television audience for lacrosse,” said Canadian Lacrosse Associ-

ation (CLA) Convener, Doug Luey.

Teams from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, including a First Nations teams representing Six Nations, Akwesasne, Kahnawake, will look for provincial titles in Peewee,

Bantam, Tyke, Novice and Midget, Girls Box and Intermediate, as well as Canadian Peewee and Midget tiles.

Six lacrosse venues will be used in and around Whitby to accommodate all games.

COLUMN: FROM THE CHEAP SEATS

Those Olympics

By Jim Windle Is it time to scrap the Olympics and start all over again? Many would say yes to that proposal, especially after the botched games about to begin in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Doping revelations out of Russia casts shadows on past medal performances by that country, an athlete’s village of 31, 17-story towers, deemed by some teams including Australia as uninhabitable, and will put up their athletes in hotels instead.

Brazil is facing its greatest recession in 100 years, while the Zika virus has become epidemic in Brazil. All of this has caused a long and growing list of the world’s top athletes dropping out for fear of sickness or even their life.

With the scandals of

bribery and kick-backs systematically employed by the Olympic site selection committee and top brass as well as serious judging inconsistencies, it is becoming clear that the world’s biggest sporting event has become seriously infected with corruption of all kinds and at every turn. And is so deeply rooted, that nothing but a complete remake from the ground up will heal it.

Considering the political climate around the world being in such a state of dangerous flux, and with deadly acts of terrorism happening around the world in recent history, maybe giving it a rest for a while is a good thing.

That is a much easier decision to make for us Olympic fans than it is for an athlete who has worked, and worked

hard, for four years to get ready to represent their country on the world stage. But many have weighed the thrill of victory against agony of serious illness, or even death.

In my mind, even the medal winner’s achievements will be tarnished with the knowledge that

many of the world’s top athletes did not compete.

In the past there have been boycotts, but never before have so many top athletes turned away from the Olympic specta- cle.

Oh, and when they rebuild the Olympics, I hope they include lacrosse as a full-medal sport and get rid of sports that are so obscure that only those who participate in them really care about.

Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport globally and needs to be recognized as a world sport.

My birth day was awesome last year, I made my mom get up early and for some reason she just wanted to clean at 5:00am. HA! I totally through a monkey wrench in her plans that day……I knew my sister Brooklyn had lacrosse provincials that weekend but I didn’t care, I wanted out !! I wanted to see everyone!! So I woke my mom and then I really poured on the kicks and nudges at 7:00am, we woke up my other sister Ash and well…. She rubbed my mom’s back and done everything she could but my mom stayed crabby and of course I was really jumping around in her belly now… I could hear everyone getting ready to leave for the games on Oakville but once again … I wanted out!, so thankfully my mom packed her back and walked out the door to head to the Birthing Centre, silly dad asked her “where you going?”, my mom growled and kept walking lol. …So Ash was called upon to drive us to the centre and my other sister Kailyn came along too.

So were all racing down the road and dad calls, he asked if the chairs and coolers were in the truck!? Lol…. mom just hollered “COME F%*& GET THEM”. I was laughing inside my mom’s belly, I could hear all the commotion, even mom yelling at Ash to drive FASTER and go easy on her breaks LOL! Next thing I know I was all comfy and all the sounds were echoing around me, turns out my mom was in a tub full of water relaxing, so I decided right then and there “its my time to shine, here I come”. I came out swimming and my sister Ash cut my cord, Kailyn was in shock I think because she didn’t talk, Dad came in the room just seconds after the cut was made. After all that, Brooklyn made her game on time (thanks to Gram and Moe). Our birthing partner/cousin Shina missed my big day cause she is the coach for the lacrosse team lol. What’s my name? ohhh you want the details now? Ok. I was born at 9:11am and I was 10lbs 2oz and I looked just like my mom for a quick minute. My name was picked before I was born, the name is to honour and pay tribute to my dad’s best friend who passed on years before I decided to come, his name is Allan Wayne Martin, and mom decided to use her uncle’s name, whom she lost when she was a little girl – apparently he taught her to swear too, his name was Dwight Alexander Hill. So my full name is Allan Oakley Dwight Hill - Oakley is cause of Oak trees, they’re big and strong. Am the youngest of 5, I have 3 sisters and one Bro. Ash, Brooklyn and Kailyn and of course my big brother Marv’, he requested me! So here I am I couldn’t just leave him with a house full a women his whole life.
