Everlasting Tree School garners support for language education

Hopes and smiles at the Healing and Wellness Fair By Chezney Martin SIX NATIONS – From delicious food and psychic readings to vendors of many backgrounds, the Healing and Wellness Fair held at the Everlasting Tree School on Saturday, December 10 brought together supportive community members and the general public. Unlike most schools the Everlasting Tree School is unique in its approach to fundraising as much as it is unique in its need for fundraising. The school purchases supplies and equipment solely with funding that is raised through grants and donations. Everlasting Tree School co-founder Amy Bomberry helped to thoughtfully organize the fair to both fundraise for the school as well as to benefit local community healing and wellness businesses. “We try to have all of our fundraisers in alignment with the philosophy of our school, but also as Haudenosaunee people,”

The Everlasting Tree School is located on Seneca Road, Six Nations. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN said Bomberry. “The idea came about as we're always looking for new and different fundraisers and things that support what we're doing, and things that are going to benefit the community.” But, making the fair health community-based served a broader purpose. “There are so many people going through so many different things within our own community, so

we thought that [this fair] would be a great way to bring these services together to help people, and help the school and what we're doing,” she said. “It's giving back but it's also taking care of us too.” It is also the background of the school that brings forward a calming and nurturing effect on visitors, because as Bomberry says the entire philosophy of the school is unique in

comparison to any other elementary school on Six Nations. “This school is based on a holistic model, it supports the body mind and spirit of the kids to nurture their spirit and their gifts,” she said, adding that the school is much like a branch of Waldorf schooling. “We try to keep everything in alignment with the foods that we eat and serve, because we have a

nutrition program,” she said. “So, the foods are like organic or the food we grow or from local people; we're trying to teach the kids to work towards being self-sustainable. You know, back to who we were as Haudenosaunee people.” Mohawk Language Teacher Stacy Hill explained that it is prime time to give back since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission brought forth

the calls to action — a reason why people should want to support a school like this. “I work for the Grand Erie School Board and that's all we talk about is the TRC and those calls to action, and a lot of our people look at that as profound I guess because the calls to action really call to Canadians,” said Hill. “Kind of like this isn't an indigenous problem, this is a Canadian problem and reconciliation is on [the Canadian’s] shoulders. But for our own people too, [it's a way to feel connected again].” “Why should people support this school? Because this school is making change. This school is cutting away from that colonialist system and doing something that's much truer to our Onkwehon:we teachings and who we are as Haudenosaunee people,” she said. The school will host another event for the Spring Equinox, so don't miss out on a chance to support.

Murder investigation Welcome to the new million dollar fire truck looking for bike trailer By Nahnda Garlow BRANTFORD — The investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Roberts is still underway. Roberts body was recovered in Brantford near the West Street 403 overpass. Police said they have in-

terviewed over 80 people and executed three search warrants in the case so far. Major Crimes detectives say they are still looking for the bike trailer Roberts was known to ride along with. Anyone with information is asked to contact Brantford Police.

Fire Chief Matthew Miller addressed the crowd at the unveiling of the new Six Nations Fire truck. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN – The Six Nations Fire Department brought home a brand new aerial fire truck that can reach heights higher than 100 feet. Fire Chief Matthew Miller was the first to offer his appreciation during the ceremony on Tuesday, December 13. “It's a very incredible day today,” said Miller. “I know I'm a very stoic type of gentleman, but on the inside I have a gigantic smile going on bigger than the one on the outside,” he said with a laugh. “The Six Nations community is the most populated [indigenous community] in Canada, and as a result we have the busiest First Nations fire service in all of Canada,” he said. “This particular truck is very unique, the next closest truck like this [is in Oakville].” The aerial fire truck chopped in at $1,883,000 and another $491,950 from the Economic Development Trust for the other updated equipment including breathing masks and apparatus

units. To top it off, the new truck was outfitted with a brand new fire hose by the Ohsweken Speedway through Glenn Styres with a donation of $3,300. “I can tell you this with the funding for the air packs, for the truck; it has made it much safer for our firefighters to be able to do their job and provide the services that are asked of them on a regular basis,” said Miller. Miller explained that the truck also allows the Six Nations Housing Department to start building infrastructure “upwards rather than outwards.” “It's a very significant day for us to be able to provide an adequate level of protection for the industrial, commercial sector as well as the housing department in possibly building the first ever multi-story compound apartment complex,” he said. Elected Council Chief Ava Hill offered her congratulations to the department, as well as taking the time to point out that majority of the money being put into building the fire department has come from within the communi-

JUSTICE FOR SHEN Editorial by Jonathan Garlow Shenny Smith has dreams of playing professional hockey someday and his dreams may not be that far out of reach – Shenny comes from an athletic family. His first cousin Brendan Bomberry plays for University of Syracuse. Shen’s other cousin Sid Smith is an award winning defenseman for the Rochester Nighthawks. Just being from Six Nations and coming from the right family isn’t enough, so this tenacious 15-year-old has been making a name for himself in net as a skillful goaltender for the Brantford ‘99ers Midget “AA” Hockey Club. He was having a definitive season until it was tragically cut short Wednesday, October 5 after Shenny was hospitalized after suffering a serious concussion. Only, his family says that the concussion didn’t happen on the ice — they say that Shen was in the parking lot of the Activa Arena when he was assaulted by a player and a parent of the home team, Kitchener Rangers. Police were called and mysteriously no charges were ever laid, despite eyewitnesses who claimed to have seen a Kitchener father repeatedly assault the teenager. The Two Row Times will continue to investigate (see Pg. 19 for policing in Winnipeg). In the meantime, the Smith family was left to pick up the pieces as their superstar was taken to McMaster Hospital where Shen was diagnosed with a concussion and treated. All his mom could do was take pictures of the cuts and abrasions and hope to find justice within the Canadian systems. The Smith family says they have been traumatized not only by the violent actions of certain people from Kitchener but also by the inaction of the Waterloo regional police force.

Sadly we as indigenous people have much experience with this type of mistreatment. No matter how the particular events unfolded on October 5, we regularly receive story leads about altercations involving privileged parents acting badly at our minor hockey rinks. This child abuse has to stop. Nothing is as important as our children. In years past they were sy stematically beaten down in residential schools and although Shenny was not killed that night in Kitchener, someone tried to break Shenny's spirit. Thankfully, it didn’t work. The concussion clinic has since cleared Shen to play hockey again and there he was Monday night, standing in net, tough as nails. And guess who the ‘99ers were playing against? The Kitchener Rangers. Although they lost the game 2 to 4, there was a victorious mood amongst Brantford parents and fans as they cheered to see their star goalie back on the ice. Shenny got a shut out during his period in net. After the game tensions flared as eye witnesses singled out a group of Kitchener men in the Gretzky Centre bar who were allegedly involved in the attack. The assailant may be an assistant coach for Kitcheners AAA Jr team, according to the family. Police intervened and dispersed the crowd, but the conclusion amongst Kitchener fans seemed obvious. A native kid may have suffered a concussion but police did not press charges so that means nothing happened. If one of our full grown men repeatedly pummeled a 15-yearold Kitchener youth sending him to the hospital there would be cries for the death penalty from Canadians. If it wasn't for our own media this news story would just be swept under the rug like the rest. Where is the justice for Shen?

"Hockey dad completely loses his mind." PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

From the cheap seats:

Buffoon parents should be banned from all minor sports By Jim Windle After being in arenas most of my life, I am always amazed at the amazing stupidity inherent in some sports parents. This past Saturday at the Gaylord Powless Arena, minor hockey fans were treated to the added “entertainment” of a hockey dad completely losing his mind on an 18-year-old female referee during a peewee game. Real class. When the penalties following an on-ice altercation didn’t line-up with his personal assessment of the brief encounter, a man began with a tirade of swearing, demeaning the referee. Keep in mind; this is a Peewee house league game. When he would not shut up, he was told by the referee to leave the arena. He complied dropping F-bombs at everyone, including the young referee, as he left. My immediate thoughts turned to the kid who had to watch from the ice as their dad went ballistic. Restraint to a guy like this

means not going onto the ice and smacking the young referee, himself. I have seen this so many times while covering minor sports, when someone’s next Sidney Crosby gets the bad end of a call and dad or mom freaks out in the stands, ready to climb the glass and kill the referee at centre ice. Fortunately, in the vast majority of minor games from one end of Canada to the other, this kind of abuse is not a normal response. From peewee to professional, one expects the coach to deal with the referee on a preserved bad call. But there is a very big difference. Pro fans have paid far too much money to watch the game and I’ve always believed that that ticket price comes with a certain about of leniency towards hardcore fans in whatever sport to express their joy or discontent with how “their team” is making out and the right to express that discontent. But these are pro referees,

paid pretty well for ignoring the verbal attacks they hear every game from one side, or the other who believes the referee has it out for them. A minor league referee is not and should not have to deal with an out-of-control parent. So what is the right response? Sure, express yourself, but remember that everyone’s moral lines are in different places and just because using an F-bomb may be the common language at home, it is not accepted as normal in many others, especially with women and kids sitting in the same section, and certainly not at a peewee hockey game. On this point I have to agree with Don Cherry’s advice to over zealous sports parents — those parents should be banned from the arena or sidelines if they lose their cool. Some parents forget that the game is for their kids, not for satisfying an unfulfilled dream of being a star themselves.

The Indian Act footprint of Indigenous Governance By Rachel A. Snow

Current affairs on Turtle Island or Canada show the continuing struggles of indigenous people across the land. What is the historical legacy that leads to the disconnection between land stewards and settlers? Pre-settler, the original people lived within developed systems of governance, laws and customs that honoured spirituality. With the settler invasion, Christianity came cloaked as spirituality. However, underlying this religious invasion was the colonist mentality of greed, superiority and materialism. It is this same underlying thinking that has desecrated the original ways of the indigenous people. From the earliest contact, indigenous people shared and were inclusive of the newcomers. Initially the newcomers relied upon the original people to guide them and to help them survive in this unchartered (to them) land. The indigenous people knew every stream or river. The indigenous knew the best places to hunt, gather or take winter refuge. It is this knowledge that continues as a land based relationship. From the land and spiritual guidance comes the original ways of governance. There are no terms for hierarchical positions in many indigenous languages only terms to differentiate between positioning within families,

clans and in relation to the larger community. The language like the land and the people are equal and interconnected. Contrast this understanding with the divine right of kings, aristocracy or the ruling classes. Many settlers came to North America to escape hierarchies and societal fates. Their comparator was a harsh environment where every man, woman or child struggled for themselves. They were not familiar with structures

system of governance. This thinking did not acknowledge or understand the original peoples careful community based leadership models. The initial acts of removal to reserves, forced starvation and genocide with smallpox blankets were not enough to terminate Canada’s first peoples. In Clearing the Plains, James Daschuk documents that Indian agents selected “more amenable” tribal members to assume leadership roles, quickly crush-

pile up. There are passes to leave the reserve. If one wants to get schooling, serve in the army or marry a non-native (for a woman), it is disenfranchisement. Overnight the original people are no longer themselves or in the federal language, no longer Indians. Similar impediment laws continue to lead the original people to forced assimilation or to other means of dealing with this legislative trauma including suicide or addictions leading to death.

There is also a 100year period of residential schools and forced removal of Indian children that did not end with residential school closure but came under a new authority – child welfare or child and family services. We see the historical beginnings of colonial influence on original governance. Hereditary leaders who balked at being moved, getting passes or watching their people starve, were quickly put aside as dissidents. Have things changed in 140

years? Band members vote in today’s Indian leadership models. To the ordinary Canadian this seems fair because there is no accurate historical knowledge of colonial or federal interference. What is not common knowledge is that reserves are comprised of nation members who are clans who can then vote as a block. If this happens then the same chief and council can be re-elected despite platforms, mismanagement or oppressive policies. Is this democracy? In traditional governance systems, different ways of choosing headman or council members had been in practice. With the interference of the successor colonizer state, this tainted governance system is now in First Nation communities. There have been allegations of corruption, vote buying, vote tampering, calls for forensic audits, and other requests from membership trying to challenge “indigenous governance”. Are they challenging indigenous governance, that is the long held traditional governance practices of their people, or are they really challenging the puppet chief and council systems of the successor colonizer state? If there is a voting block of clans or groups that keep in a chief and council what happens to their opposition? In a municipality, people run on platforms.

If there are problems encountered mayors must treat all members equally because they don’t know who voted for or against them. On reserve, we know. On reserve there are membership lists with family listings so you know that this family has 80 votes, or this has 25. You can in effect gauge the number of votes you will receive if you run for office. You can also choose not to help those who voted “against” you. It is denial of jobs, access to education funds or training dollars, and other various “rights”. Is this fair? And where can people complain about or remedy this situation? They can go to mainstream courts for judicial reviews or civil courts but remember these complainants are impoverished and voiceless. Furthermore, if government made this one-sided governance system, why would courts treat it differently? Even today, in 2016, “chiefs” will become angry if indigenous people question their authority. One basic tenet of administrative law is that there must always be a grievance mechanism in place. Therefore, in reconciling nation-to-nation talks, essentially it is Canada the successor state talking to the leadership that Canada has influenced. Is it any wonder that problems continue to run rampant across this land for the original people?

that worked together for the benefit of all. It is with this selfish mindset that the first colonial settlers began legislation like the Indian Act (1876). This legislation followed earlier British Acts including the Royal Proclamation (1763) and the British North America Act (1867). The Indian Act contained the ways that the original people would be divested of their land and way of life. One significant factor was the stipulations for voting in a chief and council or a “democratic”

ing any vestiges of original autonomy or inherited leadership values. This action allowed someone untrained or a person not mentored by the community to break from community held practices. Indian agents usually rewarded this individual with more food, blankets or better shelter. Therefore, the roots of interfering in the original ways of governance were established. The breakdown of the original people continues. The prohibitions begin to

who clams up, deal with anger, or disturbing coping behaviours. Here are some helpful tips for helping a loved one cope with their triggers: Don’t pressure your loved one into talking. It is often difficult for traumatized people to even know they’ve been triggered. It can even make things worse if you try and get your loved to talk about their trauma. Be a good listener. Comfort often comes from your companion-

ship, speaking less, and listening more, rather than trying to reason. Let your loved one have the power to choose when they want to talk. Take cues from your loved one as to how you can be supportive and good company. They may want to talk about the traumatic event over and over again. They might just want to hang out together. Be mindful of your own stress. Try and stay relaxed, calm, and focused. You’ll be better able to help a loved one if you

stay strong. Try to watch for trauma triggers. Common triggers besides the time-ofthe-year includes people or places associated with the trauma, and certain sights, sounds, or smells. Be aware of the triggers that may cause an upsetting reaction, and you’ll be able to help your loved one calm down. Don’t take their reactions personally. If your loved one seems absent, irritated, angry, or shutoff, remember that this probably has nothing to

do with you or your relationship. Educate yourself. The more you know about the trauma symptoms, effects, and helping, the better equipped you'll be to help your loved one understand what’s going on. Keep things in perspective. Take care of yourself. Letting your loved one’s trauma dominate your life while ignoring your

own needs sets you up for burnout. Take care of yourself and you’ll be better able take care of your loved one. All people are different and have all kinds of traumas. But also understand that this season can be made into a time of renewal. Ringing out the old and ringing in the new. A loved one can be loved in spite of themselves.

If there is a voting block of clans or groups that keep in a chief and council what happens to their opposition?

'Tis the season to be triggered By Thohahoken There is common sense that is needed to help loved ones with their trauma. The need for understanding is especially important for loved ones with traumas suffered on what are mostly joyous times for most people. Triggers take over the traumatized that puts strain on relationships and family life at this time of year. You may have to take on a bigger share of the chores, deal with the frustration of a loved one

OHSWEKEN – The Ontario Indian Residential School Survivor Society (OIRSSS) is funding two Six Nations survivors of the Mohawk Institute to visit the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in Winnipeg. Five others would like to go but need to be funded. Funding is required to help cover air fare, accommodations, meals and other related items. A delegation from the “We Are Still Here” group attended last night’s Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) general meeting to ask if elected council would offer any financial support in sponsoring the other five survivors. “We’re wondering if you [SNEC] would help us send the remaining five survivors to the centre in Winnipeg,” said Roberta Hill, a member of the group. Hill estimated that costs between $1,500 and $2,000 per person to

attend the event in February, so the group asked council for a minimum of $5,000 and a maximum donation of $10,000. The group is planning on fundraising the remaining balance themselves after SNEC’s contribution if they are able to contribute. The money would come from the 2016 to 2017 current money allocations. In other words, it would come from this year’s remaining funds. “We need to get our financial director to analyze what we have left and where we could rework some of our other commitments before we can say yes,” said Six Nations Elected Chief Ava Hill. “But if the money is there, yes, we would help.” The trip will be an opportunity for survivors to see firsthand the collection of archival materials, photographs and donations to the collection from survivors, government and churches.

If time allows the group will also visit the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Chief Hill said that they would likely be able to decide next week. Six of the seven group members are from Six Nations and one is not. Originally Hill said that Tom Reuben is the individual not from Six Nations who would be funded by community fundraisers not elected council, but Councillor Terry General said that Reuben has done a lot of great work for the community and if they are sponsoring the others then they should also sponsor him. SNEC agreed. The individuals seeking to attend the event are; Sherlene Bomberry, Dawn Hill, Beverly Albrecht, Roberta Hill, and Tom Reuben. Roland Martin and John Elliot and being funded by OIRSSS. The group will also accept funding gifts and donations from other community organizations.

HDI class action held By Jayson Koblun

HAMILTON – A lawsuit launched in September by Six Nations’ Bill Monture and Wilfred Davey against Aaron Detlor, Hazel Hill, Brian Doolittle and Elvera Garlow, and the board members of the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) or its numbered corporate entities has been postponed again until early next year. Monture and Davey are part of the Men’s Fire. They and a small group of supporters and other Men’s Fire members came to the John Sopinka

Courthouse in Hamilton on December 13 to attend the court hearing — but were surprised when a representative requested that the case be rescheduled to January 26, 2017. “We came ready to hear this thing out,” said Monture. “I really thought we were coming today to get the case rolling.” Monture and Davey say that the case has to do with the handling and dealings of money with the HDI and it’s alleged lack of transparency as it attempts to communicate with the community of Six Nations.

way. “This dinner is more intimate,” said Russell-Patterson. “And definitely more informal and warm and fuzzy rather than too formal and too [uncomfortable].” When asked about previous years, Russell-Patterson thoughtfully pointed out that the success was in seeing people come together, not the number of people. “It's not as big of a crowd as we've had in the past. But, those who are here definitely called up and wanted to register to be here,” she said. “People who don't know each other don't talk to each other, but this way we just sat them wherever we had an empty space. They get to chatting amongst them-

Remembering loved ones at third annual dinner OHSWEKEN – The national suicide rate for indigenous youth still remains higher than the national average and the loss felt by losing a loved one to suicide is carried by many more. The Brightening the Spirit-Breaking the Silence Suicide Awareness Committee held their third Annual Remembering Our Loved Ones Dinner for those affected by loss due to suicide on Monday night. Dorothy Russell-Patterson, a member of the committee, explained that the dinner has always focused on bringing families together. “It's challenging at this time of year for many,” said Russell-Patterson. “Our focus as a committee is towards suicide, but we open the doors to anyone at this time of year for sure, because pain is pain. There are no words to say what that pain is for any of us. This is just our way of easing some of that, and letting them know that they are supported.” Many families in attendance mingled with together and it was easy to see the sense of the community in the room, Russell-Patterson explained that it was planned this

selves, so that's a good thing to see.” Throughout the night entertainment and speakers rotated, including a performance by a women's singing group as well as many draws. “We have a number of draws and a number of generous partnerships with Health Services and Social Services, so we just like to draw them throughout the night to get the relaxation and the fun atmosphere going,” she said. The relaxed nature of the dinner was achieved as many in attendance also took part in lighting a tea candle in memory of a lost loved one, or wrote their name on a banner after completing the beautiful meal.

QUEBEC – Pauline Johnson, a gifted writer and speaker from, Six Nations was one of five finalists who would be the first woman to appear on a Canadian banknote, but on Thursday Dec. 8 after much deliberation, the Bank of Canada selected Viola Desmond as the winner. Desmond, often described as Canada’s Rosa Parks for her 1946 decision to sit in a whites-only section of a Nova Scotia movie theatre, will be the new celebrated face after being selected out of an astonishing 26,000 submissions. Finance Minister Bill Morneau says Desmond will appear on the front of the $10 bill when the next series goes into circulation in 2018. “Today is about recognizing the incalculable contribution that all women have had and continue to have in shaping Canada’s story,” says Morneau at a news conference in Gatineau, Que. “Viola Desmond’s own story reminds all of us that big change can start with moments of dignity and bravery. “She represents courage, strength and determination-qualities we should all aspire to every day.” The following is an excerpt from Black History Canada’s website about Desmond’s experience: Born and raised in Halifax in 1914, Desmond trained as a teacher but soon joined her husband Jack in a combined barbershop and hairdressing salon, a beauty parlour on Gottingen Street. While expanding her business across the province, Viola went to New Glasgow in 1946. In New Glasgow, Desmond developed car trouble and decided to go to the movies while repairs were made. She bought a ticket, entered the theatre and took a seat on the main floor, unaware that tickets sold to African Canadians in this town were for the balcony and the main floor was reserved solely for White patrons. Theatre staff demanded that she go to the balcony,

but she refused, since she could see better from the main floor. The police were summoned immediately and she was dragged out, which injured her hip. She was charged and held overnight in jail; she was not advised of her rights. Maintaining her dignity, Desmond remained sitting upright, wearing her white gloves (a sign of sophistication and class at the time). The following morning, despite not having done anything wrong, she paid the imposed fine of $20. Besides being fined, she was charged with defrauding the Government of Nova Scotia of the difference in the tax between a ground floor and a balcony seat, which amounted to one cent.

While discussing the incident with the doctor who tended to her, Desmond decided to fight the charges. Clearly, the issue was about her being African Canadian and there being a racist seating policy in place; it was not about tax evasion. In taking the matter to the courts, Viola Desmond's experience helped to galvanize public opinion locally and internationally, and to raise awareness about the reality of Canadian segregation. Eligible nominees had to have Canadian citizenship and had to have been dead for at least 25 years. The final five were; Pauline Johnson; Elsie MacGill; Idola Saint-Jean; Fanny Rosenfeld; and the winner, Desmond.

MJ’s Diner: three and a half years and still going strong By Jayson Koblun NEW CREDIT – If you’re craving a homemade, tasty, and better than the average diner meal, served in a friendly, clean environment, MJ’s Diner is the place to go. Rhonda Johnson first wet her feet in the food industry when she started up a small catering side-business several years go while she was working mainly as an early childhood educator. From there she really wanted to open up a fully functional restaurant of her own; three and a half years ago — MJ’s Diner was born. “We really had a hard time picking a name at first,” said Rhonda. “My husband and I were asking our friends for ideas but we just couldn’t come up with anything. I don’t remember who suggested it first, but we thought of naming the restaurant after our daughter, Marissa, and as soon as we heard it we knew it was the perfect name for the restaurant — MJ’s.” Her daughter is 13 years old now and it’s fitting the restaurant is named after a family member because that is kind of the vibe and direction Rhonda is taking the restaurant in. “We want our customers to be comfortable here and feel like we remember them,” she said. “We have a lot of regular, loyal customers who say they really appreciate that the staff kind of gets to know them a little bit.” MJ’s has about 10 staff total, mainly part-timers, and has something on the menu for everyone. From traditional indigenous comfort foods to homemade burgers to a large all-day breakfast menu, it’s always homemade,

and always good. “We have traditional stuff like Indian Tacos, corn soup, and ham and scone,” she said. “I’m pretty picky about the taste of all the food we serve here and a lot of customers really like the sauce we serve on the tacos.” Since the restaurant’s opening in 2013, the menu has had time to be perfected. “We don’t change things up too often anymore — we try and listen to our customers when they tell us what they like and it seems like we’ve got a good thing going on,” said Rhonda. Rhonda grew up in New Credit and said that for food spots on the territory, there aren’t a lot of options. “It’s mainly just us and we do our best to keep our local customers here, but also love when we get visitors who stop in,” she said. “Fridays are special because my mom makes homemade pies — chocolate, coconut, lemon, banana cream — and they go along really well with out fresh baked cookies.” Rhonda said that she’s learned a lot of the past three and a half years. She’s learned how to tailor her cooking, trust her palette and the importance of keeping a restaurant clean. “Cleanliness is something almost all customers notice about a restaurant, and besides hearing how good our food is, a lot of customers really appreciate how clean we try and keep the place. It’s really important to us here.” So if you’re looking for a good burger, fresh-cut fries, soup, breakfast or more — MJ’s Diner on Ojibway Rd. near Townline Rd. is definitely worth a pit stop.

Dakota Access pipeline court battle to linger into new year The Canadian Press BISMARCK, N.D. — A federal court battle over whether the developer of the Dakota Access oil pipeline can finish the $3.8 billion project will linger at least into the first couple months of the new year. Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners last month asked U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to declare it can legally lay pipe under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota — the last remaining large chunk of construction on the 1,200-mile, four-state pipeline to move North Dakota oil to a shipping point in Illinois. The Army has declined to give permission due to opposition by the Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux, who fear any leaks would con-

taminate drinking water. The Army cites a need for more study of the Lake Oahe crossing and consideration of alternative routes. ETP believes it already has the necessary permission and has asked Boasberg to concur. Company lawyers earlier proposed a schedule that included an early January hearing. Boasberg on Friday gave the government until Jan. 6 to file its opposition to ETP's request for permission. Boasberg won't hear arguments until at least February. The two tribes filed documents Wednesday saying they are willing to put their claims on hold while the Army Corps of Engineers does more study. The tribes earlier this year challenged the government's decision to grant permits at more than 200 water crossings.

``Plaintiff tribes applaud the decision by the Corps and intend to work in good faith with the Corps through the (study) process in hopes that a resolution of its concerns can be achieved without the need for further proceedings in this court,'' attorneys wrote. The tribes also intend to oppose ETP's request to the judge for permission to drill under the lake. Boasberg also gave them until Jan. 6 to do so. Tribal members and supporters have been protesting the pipeline for months, based at a camp near the pipeline route in southern North Dakota. Harsh wintry weather is beginning to drive some people out of the camp. The Morton County Sheriff's Office estimated Friday that between 1,800 and 2,200 people remain in the camp on

federal land, spokesman Rob Keller said. That's down from estimates of 3,000 to 5,000 people before heavy snow and bitter cold settled in. Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault this week called for the camp to disband, though Native American rights activist Chase Iron Eyes implored protesters to stay. A coalition of grassroots groups opposing the pipeline issued a statement Friday saying they support a transition to protesting against project investors in communities. However, they said they also support pipeline opponents who choose to stay in camp overwinter. The groups included the Indigenous Environmental Network, Honor the Earth, Sacred Stone Camp and the International Indigenous Youth Council.

The debate about controversial energy projects, including the Kinder Morgan pipeline, recently approved by the Liberal government, took centre stage Wednesday at an Assembly of First Nations meeting. ``We want you to understand that it is not a clear-cut issue,'' Boucher said. ``Our people will be affected if the economy goes down in Alberta, especially the oilsands economy. Our people will be put out of work — we will back on that social list.'' It is critical to ensure industry does not divide First Nations, said Kanesatake Grand Chief Serge Simon — a Quebec Mohawk leader who is part of the Treaty Alliance Against Tar Sands Expansion. In September, indige-

nous people from Canada and the U.S. signed an agreement to fight plans to build pipelines, saying additional development will harm the environment. ``I'm not going to let the industry divide Chief Boucher and myself,'' Simon said. ``I just don't agree with expansion of the tarsands.'' Indigenous leaders have a responsibility to block threats to the land, water and their people, he added. ``First Nations are going to be the first climate refugees,'' Simon said. ``There's no doubt about it.'' Natural Resource Minister Jim Carr personally contacted Simon and apologized for remarks for suggesting ``defence forces'' might respond to non-peaceful protests. Canada not only tol-

erates dissent, but it embraces dissent, because it is an essential characteristic of being Canadian, Carr added outside a Liberal caucus meeting on Tuesday. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also addressed the controversy over Carr's remarks directly during his Tuesday speech to the chiefs, suggesting it was an ``unfortunate comment.'' AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde has acknowledged that First Nations are split over pipelines, including the Kinder Morgan link between Alberta and suburban Vancouver. His organization does not have an official position on the project, but Bellegarde said communities maintain the right to self-determination.

Debate over pipeline projects takes centre stage for Assembly of First Nations The Canadian Press GATINEAU, Que. — A First Nations leader from northern Alberta is urging his fellow chiefs to resist buying into the arguments of environmentalists opposed to pipeline projects and the oilsands. Fort McKay Chief Jim Boucher said his small community of 800 Cree and Dene people is dependent on the oil industry for its economic well-being. In the 1980s, Boucher said his reserve turned to the oil industry when its trapping economy was ``going in the tank'', noting the partnership has led to employment for band members. ``We are pro-oilsands,'' he said. ``If it wasn't for the oilsands, my people would be in poverty right now.''

Trump will act on DAPL when he takes office By TRT staff NEW YORK – The Fox News Sunday interview with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump that aired December 1, touched on a number of recent topics surrounding the Trump Administration's transition. One of those topics was climate change and Trump’s choice for EPA Administrator, appears poised to roll back pollution regulations on fossil fuels, and addressed the pipeline issue. Trump briefly discussed the Dakota Access Pipeline, which will have to look for a new route after the Army Corps of Engineers blocked a heavily protested path near the Standing Rock Sioux

Reservation. “Let me not answer the Dakota,” Trump told Fox interviewer Chris Wallace,” because perhaps that'll be solved by the time I get there, so I don't have to create enemies on one side or the other. But I will tell you when I get to office, if it's not solved, I'll have it solved very quickly.”

Constitutional reform requested by AFN rejected by Trudeau

Canadian PM Trudeau with AFN head Bellegarde. APTN PHOTO By TRT staff OTTAWA – APTN reported that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday slammed the door shut on a call from Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde to begin talks on reopening the Constitution to clearly define the place of Indigenous rights within the Canadian federation. Indigenous leaders were excluded from a meeting last Friday between Ottawa and the provinces on a new climate plan, Bellegarde

said it was time to begin talks on reopening the Constitution. On Monday, during a year-end media conference in Ottawa, Trudeau quashed any notion his government would entertain such a request. The prime minister said his government’s energy and attention would be better spent on its stated priorities instead of “Constitutional squabbles”. Trudeau said his government is committed to “concrete and tangible ways” to improve the relationship between Ottawa and Indigenous peoples.

Federal cannabis task force green lights legal sales to teenagers The Canadian Press OTTAWA — Eighteenyear-olds should be allowed to buy recreational cannabis when the Liberal government launches a globe-leading social experiment in legalizing marijuana next year, a federally appointed task force said Tuesday. The age limit — and the hazy science of pot-impaired driving — were among the most conten-

tious aspects during five months of hearings and research, task force vicechair Dr. Mark Ware told a news conference in the parliamentary precinct. The framework report is recommending storefront and mail-order sales to people 18 and older, with personal growing limits of four plants per person and a 30-gram limit on personal possession. No other major western country — with the

exception of Uruguay, population 3.5 million — has fully legalized and the world will be watching. The green light for teenagers helped boost stock prices for marijuana producers on the Toronto Stock Exchange and produced a sharp exchange in the House of Commons, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his government's policy direction without committing to following all

the task force's 80-plus recommendations when legislation is introduced next spring. ``Right now kids have easy access to cannabis across this country. We need to change that,'' Trudeau said of his government's two cannabis-related policy priorities. ``Secondly, to remove the source of significant revenue to criminal organizations and street gangs

who benefit for the illicit trade of cannabis.'' The 106-page framework covers everything from advertising and branding — effectively banned, similar to tobacco — to penalties for illicit production and trafficking, all legislated under a proposed new Cannabis Control Act. And it says the current medical marijuana regime should remain in place, at least until the legal recreational market dynamics play out. The overall direction of the task force was never in doubt as it toured legalized U.S. states Colorado and Washington. Its chair, former federal Liberal justice minister Anne McLellan, said the nine members wouldn't have taken the job if they didn't believe in ending marijuana prohibition. `Às a matter of public policy,'' said McLellan, ``legalization now is the time to move away from a system that for decades has been based on prohibition of cannabis, into a regulated legal market. I think we're all aware of the challenges and societal problems that the existing system has created.'' The report's 80 recommendations are all geared, one way or another, to creating `à viable legal market, which will be essential to meet the government's objective of displacing the entrenched illicit market that exists in Canada today,'' said McLellan. She said the report recommends a ``public-health approach to minimize harm,'' as well as actions ``to educate Canadians ... to increase awareness and knowledge'' about cannabis and its impacts. Reaction to the report was as varied as the public input the task force received. `Àge 18 means you can be in high school and le-

gally smoke marijuana,'' Pamela McColl, of the prohibitionist group Smart Approaches to Marijuana Canada, said in an email. ``We have lost our way as a country.'' Jeffrey Lizotte, CEO of Next Wave brands, which advises the budding industry, said almost every cannabis-related stock listed on the TSX rose Tuesday. ``Most expected the age of majority to be between 21 and 25, where people had recommended,'' Lizotte said in an interview. ``Luckily they took a more evidence-based approach. They understand that most consumers are aged 18-25, so if you exclude them from this market they'll go to the black market.'' The Canadian Medical Association issued a statement lauding the overall approach to ``non-medical'' marijuana regulation. But the CMA said the task force missed the mark in recommending a distinct medical regime, given what it says is the limited clinical evidence for medicinal cannabis. Ian Culbert of the Canadian Public Health Association called the report ``an important first step towards establishing a retail framework that strikes a balance between freedom of choice and health protection.'' Police forces remain somewhat skeptical, with Saskatoon police chief Clive Weighill typifying the cautious reaction. Weighill said roadside tests for marijuana may not paint a clear picture of impairment, and suggested a black market in cheaper-priced pot will continue. Current producers of medical marijuana said the task force's hard line on marketing, packaging and branding still needs some work.

Treatment of witnesses by police a sign of systemic racism says law expert The Canadian Press WINNIPEG — The actions of police in the minutes that followed the fatal shooting of an indigenous man in a low-income neighbourhood point to systemic racism, an expert witness testified Wednesday. It's troubling that after police shot Craig McDougall, 26, in Winnipeg that his father and two other witnesses were handcuffed and kept on the ground for 40 minutes, Jonathan Rudin told an inquest into the death. `Ìt was clear that these three individuals ... were not a threat or a danger,'' Rudin said. `Ì find it hard to believe that ... middle-class residents would have been left handcuffed and on the ground.'' Rudin, a Toronto-based law professor who has written studies for previous inquiries into conflicts between police and aboriginals, said the treatment of the witnesses `ìs not something that I think can be explained other than as an example of systemic racism.'' Police officers have testified they were responding to a disturbance at McDougall's father's home on Aug. 2, 2008, following 911 calls about a possible break-in and stabbing. Former sergeant Robert Bell told the inquiry three officers arrived

and were confronted by McDougall. He was brandishing a knife and ignored repeated warnings to drop it before being shot, Bell said. McDougall's relatives have said he had a cellphone in his hand and was talking to his girlfriend when he was shot. Police recovered a knife at the scene. Rudin told the inquest he could not say if systemic racism played a role in the shooting, but the way the unarmed witnesses were treated points to entrenched discrimination. He said there is a history of mistrust between indigenous communities and police that dates back to the residential schools era when police would help remove children from their families. ``The police have often been used as agents of colonialism.'' Adding to the problem, he said, is that many police forces are largely non-aboriginal, while indigenous communities are often heavily policed. For officers who come from non-aboriginal communities, their only contact with First Nations may be while investigating crimes or complaints, he said. Rudin's views were challenged by Kim Carswell, lawyer for the Winnipeg Police Service, who suggested officers could not assume the witnesses were not a threat.

She pointed to earlier testimony that the witnesses had initially resisted commands to stay inside the house after McDougall had been shot, and had tried to push their way out the front door while officers pushed back. ``There was yelling during this period,'' Carswell said. The struggle ``actually broke the door.'' Carswell also questioned Rudin's suggestion that a middle-class family would have been treated differently by Winnipeg police. ``You're importing your Toronto experience to Winnipeg. Would that be fair (to say)?'' Rudin's testimony is an exception for Manitoba inquests. Overseen by a provincial court judge, their mandate is normally limited to a specific event. The mandate for the McDougall inquest has been expanded to examine the possibility of systemic racism in the police force. One way to address racism among police is to ensure anti-bias training programs are reviewed regularly to keep up with research, Rudin said. He also recommended that officers undergo anti-bias training regularly, instead of just at the start of their career.

SQ told to leave reserve By Nahnda Garlow LAC SIMON TERRITORY — Quebec Provincial police have no plans to stop patrolling the Lac-Simon reserve. Chief of Lac-Simon reserve told journal-

The girls' basketball team of Gods Lake Narrows First Nation School in Manitoba is made up of18 girls between the ages of 11 and 16.

Manitoba basketball team honours fallen star By TRT staff

The young women's basketball team at Gods Lake Narrows First Nation School in Manitoba is dealing with the recent suicide of a teammate, named Harmony Okemow, and has started a fundraising campaign in her memory. The fundraising campaign, called “Hoop Dreams” would see the under-funded, under-equipped group outfitted with proper shoes, uniforms, and airline tickets to take part in the Gladiators Cup Tournament in Toronto next April. “Just going on that trip would probably bring us much closer than we are now,” says Paige Okemow, Harmony’s cousin. “When we get there we will play hard for Harmony. We will try our best to win for her.” The fundraising goal of $17,000 will allow the team of 18 young women, aged 11 to 16, to purchase the needed supplies, along with airline tickets and accommodation for 10 team members in this once-in-a lifetime opportunity for the remote First Nations school. The campaign will also honour the memory of Harmony, who tragically took her life in November at the age of 14. Kishma Davidson, a math teacher, is coaching the team, and said, “We have enthusiastic players who would love to devel-

op their skills this year. However, our team lacks many basic items such as basketball shoes and uniforms. As most of our students come from low-income families, they have been deprived of opportunities that many other teenagers their ages are fortunate to enjoy.” Given the remote location of the fly-in community, Davidson notes, “Many of our students have never flown outside of Manitoba, which has limited the team's ability to play against other teams outside of the community. We would love to give our students the opportunity to travel to other communities not only to improve their basketball skills but to expose them to different cultures.” Davidson notes that remote First Nations communities often only make it into the news to report on tragedies; while this campaign springs from a painful loss, good can come from it. “This is an opportunity to transform a lot of the pain these girls are suffering into a program that will not only build skills and self-esteem, but create hope too.” Davidson is hoping that schools in the Winnipeg area as well as in southern Ontario will be willing to reach out to and partner with her school. “Young people are so creative and resourceful, even when they face the

mountain of challenges that are posed by being teenagers. It seems that if sports teams and the student populations at large in those schools did things like holding a raffle or a bake sale fundraiser to help students from Gods Lake Narrows make it to the tournament, it would create the kinds of partnerships and friendships that strengthen young people and give them a sense of real accomplishment.” Similar pairings of northern and southern schools have resulted in important educational opportunities and connections that have been mutually beneficial as young people learn the history behind today’s headlines about Truth and Reconciliation. Student Kiera Hill is hoping that once the funds are raised, she will play in memory of her beloved teammate Harmony. “I want to make her proud,” says Hill. “Even though she is not here physically I still want to make her proud. She was the star on the team and she always had a smile on her face. We want to make her smile even bigger now that she is in heaven. So please sponsor us if you can. It will make our day if you do!” For more information on the group’s progress visit, www.gofundme. com/hoop-dreams-glnsto-ontario.

Robbie Robertson: in his words and testimony By Tim Reynolds Special for TRT What current projects are you working on? Everything for me right now is revolving around the release of my book Testimony and the fact that it happens to be the 40th anniversary of The Last Waltz. I also helped with the music for Marty’s (Martin Scorcese) new movie coming out called Silence. I’m also in the midst of making a new record — there’s a lot cooking right now. What brought about the idea for The Last Waltz? It just felt like a time in that particular period it felt like we needed to have a celebration of music. We needed to bring something to a culmination in The Band and that era of music. We thought that we could have this gathering and put together something so beautiful in the name of music and then as it turned out for it to be captured on

film and everything that it would bring closure to a period of music and The Band’s story and everything around us. It felt like a calling that was meant to be. Your book testimony is more than 500 pages and only tells your story up to age 33; is there going to be a Volume 2? Yes there is. I mean, I can’t tell my life story and end it when I’m 33 years old. What was the motivation to write Testimony in the first place? I tried some other things over the years. There were people who wanted to write biographies on me and I was honoured by that, but I couldn’t get satisfied with the story telling. Then I realized starting back to when I was very young on Six Nations that the story telling thing that that’s my job. That’s what I got from Six Nations and I carried around with me all these years and to be truthful about it I got to

use that voice. It just meant I got to do it myself. You refer to Six Nations in the book as your primary influence for music? That’s where it all began for me. That’s where my musical connection began. As I say in the book that going there it seemed like all of the relatives that everybody played something or sang or danced and I wanted to get in that club. I wanted to be part of that. My uncles and cousins would show me a lick or two on the guitar and I was drawn to it and every time I would come back to Six Nations I would get another little lesson. Sometimes they would come and visit are family in Toronto and show me a couple of licks then and it just built from there. That was my genesis of my whole beginning to play guitar and my true involvement in music. Through albums like Contact from the Underworld of Redboy and the Red Road Ensemble (Music for the Native Americans) you have put a lot of artists from different nations on the map. It was an honour for me. When this came along there was a documentary being made for PBS called the Native Americans in the states. They asked me if I would be interested in doing music for this and I thought ‘aha’ this could open the door because I have so many friends in the native community in North America who were so talented and so great and that I could pull them together and we could collaborate and do something and send it out to the world something on a global level that they hadn’t heard before and so by mixing worlds together just like the beginning of rock and roll where they were mixing blues and mountain music together. The opportunity to be able to

(from left) Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and Six Nations' Robbie Robertson. LAST WALTZ PHOTO do something so modern and with different artists on Music for the Native Americans and it was a joy to do that. I was doing music that was connected for this documentary. When I did the Redboy album they were doing a PBS special on me and so we got to do it the other way around. We got to make the music and they were following us around with the film and I was lucky to be able to come back to Six Nations to film me there. I did things with Sadie Buck and the Iroquois women’s singers and I had a thing in there that I did with Chief Arnie General he’s somebody that I loved and Chief Jake Thomas. Come on it doesn’t get much better than that. I had another wonderful experience as well making a book called Hiawatha and the Peacemaker. Roberta Jamieson did a whole thing and got a whole bunch of books for kids in indigenous schools in Canada and the United States; what a wonderful experience. That story that I heard when I was nine years old had such a profound effect on me. Herb Myke from Six Nations who passed recently and he was somebody who made a big difference in my life. In Toronto, I saw Ro-

berta Jamieson and heard from Kim Johnson too and they are co-ordinating with Jace Martin and Chief Ava Hill to try to organize a thing to bring me back to Six Nations and we are going to do something beautiful. We don’t know exactly when and what we are doing yet. We just started and we are working on it. What is your fondest memory of Six Nations? I have a hundred of them. I write about this in my book the most pivotal moment for me was sitting in a room and everybody sitting around playing the Iroquois water drum, there would be some body else playing the mandolin with a couple of strings missing, somebody else playing a homemade fiddle, somebody else playing a guitar out of tune but I was sitting up close to it. I could here the fingers on the strings and changing chords and playing these melodies and the way the voices blended together and then somebody else would start dancing in the back and other people would join in singing. It was interesting because it was traditional music some nights but sometimes they were singing cowboy songs by Lefty Frizzell and heartbreaking songs because we lived in the country they sang

country music. There was a bit of irony to that my first exposure to music up close and in person was Indians playing cowboy songs and it was beautiful. How do you view what’s going on at Standing Rock? It makes me furious. This horrible, horrible pushing and imposing on the people and you know its like ‘my god, can you just leave it alone’. When is it enough? How much more damage do you need to do? How much more hurt do you need to cause on this? And the fact that thousands of people are showing up there in protest I just put my fist in the air and say, right on! In regards to music scores, how do you view them? When working with Martin Scorcese it is such a variable. The first movie I worked with him was Raging Bull and there was a particular thing that he needed for that I wanted to give him for the movie. Then I worked on another film with which was a completely different thing we were going after and over all of these years and over all the movies I have worked on every one seems to be a whole new and fresh challenge. It’s always really special with him. His connection to music is above and beyond most film directors and that’s why I asked him to direct The Last Waltz. It’s an ongoing thing with him and I. He will say OK we have a new challenge here you got any ideas for this? We try to stir things up in our imagination and begin by going against the grain. He never wants typical movie music and that’s challenging and exciting. Robbie’s message to Six Nations: I want you to send big love to the people of the bush for me and I’m coming home soon.

Northern Cree Singers aim to inspire with Grammy nomination

By Chezney Martin ALBERTA – The Northern Cree Singers were nominated for a Grammy on Monday, December 5 for the 59th Grammy Awards. This group of talented Cree singers formed in 1982, with founder Steve Wood and his brothers

Earl and Randy Wood beginning what has since released 37 albums, and has been nominated now seven times for a Grammy. Their founder's motto is something the group lives. It inclines: “if you believe in yourself, who you are, where you come from, your culture and

more importantly your language, it will take you to places you have never even dreamed of,” so it's easy to tell that their nomination is focused on inspiring those around them, especially youth. "We need positive stories for our young people so that they know that they can aspire to great

things,” said Steve Wood in an interview with CBC Canada. “And they don't have to be anybody else. They can be themselves." Wood is not only the founder of the group, but is also currently teaching Cree language courses at Ermineskin Junior Senior High School. He explained that if they earn the award they will dedicate it to unity. "If we ever garner that

To top it off, the group seems to immortalize in the sense that former members have passed away, and younger members have stepped up to strengthen the group. As well, other groups including A Tribe Called Red have sampled Northern Cree's songs to use in modernized versions.

New Arena Lacrosse League teams getting ready for inaugural season By TRT staff TORONTO – Five teams begin their tryout and training camps last week with the Toronto Monarchs opening the following week. Dates are as follows: Six Nations Snipers: Monday December 5 at Iroquois Lacrosse Arena from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. St. Catharines ShockWave: Tuesday December 6 at Iroquois Lacrosse Arena from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Oshawa Outlaws: Thursday December 8 at Stephen Leacock Arena from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Peterborough Timbermen: Saturday December 10 at Baltimore Arena from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Paris River Wolves: Sunday December 11 at Iroquois Lacrosse Arena from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Toronto Monarchs: Saturday December 10 at TRAC Oakville from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The first trade of the week saw the Six Nations Sniper send Nick Finley to the Peterborough Timbermen for Eric Guiltinan. The Snipers pulled off a pre-camp potential blockbuster with with the St. Catharines ShockWave, acquiring Tom Montour and Josh Miller for Dylan Gatt and Ryan Wagner. The Arena Lacrosse League (ALL) announced

Jake Henhawk as the General Manager of the Six Nations Snipers. Jake brings a wealth of lacrosse knowledge and experience to the position having been born and raised in Six Nations. “It’s an excellent opportunity to be part of something that is just getting off the ground for players looking to get to the next level as well as coaches and people in the management group. The timing is also crucial as NLL teams

would prefer to bring in players that are gameready and in game-shape. This is a great chance for players, especially the younger guys, who wish to invest in their future prospects of reaching the next level,” explained Henhawk. Having played his minor lacrosse in Six Nations, his lengthy career both coaching and managing in Ontario lacrosse Jake has a solid reputation as

a builder and supporter of the game. He recently completed his third season as the General Manager of the Six Nations Junior A Arrows, winning back-to-back Minto Cups in 2014 and 2015. He is entering his second season as a Scout for the Vancouver Stealth of the NLL and previously served as GM of the Mississauga Junior A Tomahawks, as well as the team’s Head Coach from 2010 through 2012.

In preparing for the ALL inaugural season expect the Snipers to be built to play an up tempo game. “We would like to have smart players that can push the pace on both ends of the floor. Fans in Six Nations are accustomed to watching highly skilled teams from the minors all the way up to the senior level and we will not disappoint,” he added. The opening weekend Showcase Event will take

place at the GM Centre in Oshawa on January 7, 2017. It will begin at 9 a.m. with three youth lacrosse clinics followed by a tripleheader that will feature Paris vs. Toronto at 1 p.m., followed by St Catharines vs. Peterborough at 4 p.m., and capped off with Six Nations vs. Oshawa at 7 p.m. Interested players aged 18 or older should visit the ALL website for more information and to register for the draft.

Corvairs head into Christmas break with a full schedule By Jim Windle

CALEDONIA – If time flies when you are having fun, it must have seemed like a good one hour practice for the Caledonia ProFit Corvairs, while on the Pelham Panthers bench it must have felt like skating uphill for six hours. The Corvairs outshot Pelham 50-14, and outscored them 9-0 Saturday night at the Haldimand Centre Arena in Caledonia. For a game that was all but won and lost, the third period turned a tad ugly but it was nothing more than the collision of frustration on one side, with a bit too much swagger on the other. But games like this are good for the winning team’s individual statistics, and in this case, Zach Core was the big winner with two goals and an assist. It was certainly not a walk in the garden at the Gale Centre, Friday night against the Niagara Falls Canucks where the Corvairs suffered a rare loss — their fourth of the season — by the score of 5-4. Trent Mallette surprised the Canucks with a quick attack, scoring 23 seconds into the game. That only served to be a

PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE wakeup call for Niagara as they slowly took the period away with three goals before the period ended. It was the Canucks turn to surprise the opponent right off the face-off and Frank Pucci made it a 4-1 game at 32 seconds of the second period. Holden Hrysko clawed that one back but Harrison Cottam put Niagara

up 5-2 after two periods. It hasn’t been often the Corvairs have had to look up at a mountain this size heading into the third period, bit they responded well. Quentin Maksimovich scored a shorthanded goal at 5:02 and Evan Bidenti made it a one-goal game with eight minutes left to play. Caledonia was unable to take that last step to-

Hagersville Hawks

loving it at home By Jim Windle HAGERSVILLE – A win is always good and it’s always fun, but it this case, the Hagersville Hawks 5-4 win over second place Glanbrook on Saturday, felt especially good for the fifth place Hawks in the Bloomfield Conference of the Jr. C ranks. It didn’t start out on the right skate, as Glanbrook closed the first period leading 2-0 on goals scored by Brad Parish and Connor Maitz. It took a successful

second period penalty shot by Jake Stevenson at 18:59 to get Hagersville going in an otherwise scoreless period. Tanner Brennecke kept the ball rolling with a powerplay goal at 7:02. Then, 58 seconds later, Wesley Fritz added another and a little over two minutes later, Harrison Larochelle made it 4-2. Noah Matteson scored Glanbrook’s last goal on a powerplay but it would not be enough to overtake the Hawks. After starting their

four-game home-stand with a win over Port Dover last Saturday, the Hagersville Hawks will be looking for a third home win when they host the Dundas Blues Tuesday night. Saturday Dec. 17th, first place Grimsby will be in town. RIGHT: Matt Weston digs hard to get a jump on a loose puck in Saturday's impressive 5-4 win.

ward saving the game from the fire as the Canucks held on to the final buzzer. While all of this was going on, the St. Catharines Falcons have snuck up behind the Corvairs to finish the week tied with Caledonia for first place, each with 53 points. Tuesday night, Dec. 13th, the Pro-Fit Corvairs will be in Buffalo to

pick up two easy points against the winless Buffalo Regals. But with the Falcons and the Corvairs occupying the same perch, taking anyone too lightly could bring unwanted results. Saturday, Dec. 17th, Welland Canadians are in Caledonia. They close their four-game home stand Tuesday, Dec. 19th against the Thorold

Blackhawks. They close out the pre-Christmas Break schedule Wednesday, Dec. 21st, at home to Ancaster. St. Catharines faces Niagara Falls twice and one against Thorold before the break.

Tillsonburg win over Six Nations Novice

Vaughn Montour's solid positional play and knowledge of angles makes him one of the Six Nations' Midget LL's top weapons moving forward. Montour made several excellent saves on way to an 8-5 Six Nations win. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

The Six Nations Novice LL #1s had a bit of a tough go against the Tillsonburg #2s dropping a 10-2 score to the visitors to the Gaylord Powless Arena, Saturday afternoon. Number 8, Colton Stewart scored three goals enroute to the Tillsonburg win. Scoring for Six Nations were Tytan Jacobs, and Cameron Hill. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

Six Nations Bantams work hard in loss

It certainly wasn't due to lack of work that the Six Nations Bantams came out on the bad end of a 3-0 shutout Saturday afternoon at the Gaylord Powless Arena. Jade Hill was like a buzzsaw on the ice all game but could not solve Jeremy Wernham in the Tillsonburg net. Wernham earned full marks for the shutout win. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

SN Peewees hold on for the tie By Jim Windle

OHSWEKEN – At the 4 p.m. game of the afternoon, the Peewee LLs took the ice against Tillsonburg Peewees, and it was a thriller. Fourteen seconds after the opening faceoff, Six Nations had a 1-0 lead after Deeland Martin scored unassisted handing his team an almost instant 1-0 lead. Tillsonburg was working hard to penetrate beyond the blue line, but the

Six Nations defence and fore-checkers would collapse on them keeping Tillsonburg outside. Ty Hill scored a beauty half way through the first period from Martin, but that would be all the offence they could muster. Tillsonburg chipped one of those goals away early in the second period with Owen David scoring after a goalmouth scramble in front of Mara General n the Six Nations net.

The game was delayed almost a half-hour when an irate parent from the Tillsonburg side didn’t like what he thought was a non-call. He was eventually ordered to remove himself from the arena and complied but only expressing his anger. Order was restored and Tillsonburg got the focus back to hockey with Owen Dave lifting one over Nara General in the Six Nations net to cut the Six Nations

lead to 2-1 heading into the third. It was an exciting period which became even more so after Tillsonburg’s Kaya Smith evened the score at 2-2 with four minutes remaining. Both goalies faced potential game winners but neither would give up that next goal. Tillsonburg’s Kadin Schuyler shut down a Six Nations breakaway with seconds remaining to deprive Six Nations of the extra point.

Six Nations Midgets stall Rockets 8-5 By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – In the premier game of the day, Saturday, the Six Nations Midgets overpowered the Delhi Rockets 8-5, but it was a battle all the way. The first goal of the game came quickly at the 17 second mark of the game from the stick of Noah Patenaude to take a 1-0 lead. But it wasn’t any sign of what was to come. Six Nations shook it off and Sandy Porter made it a new game at 1-1 from Ry Davis and Bailey and Davis, from Riley Martin and Miller gave Six Nations the 2-1 lead. Reid Bomberry stretched that to a 3-1 lead shortly thereafter with Ry Davis assisting. Patenaude scored his second of the game with a hard and high wrister to the stick side of Vaughn Montour and it was suddenly 3-2, but with two minutes

left in the period, Riley Martin slipped the puck just inside the post from Davis to end the period 4-2, for Six Nations. Tillsonburg turned the momentum in their favour right away with goals by Bradley Goris, Nathan Dedecker and Travis Thorne to take the lead back, 5-4 in the second. Riley Martin drew the score even again with a wrist shot at 5-5 setting up a wild third period as both teams seemed to be getting many scoring chances. It was Delhi that ran out of gas first after Smith put Six Nations up 6-5 from Braeden Elijah and Porter. Porter went on to complete his hat-trick with the final two goals of the contest both scored with great shots from outside. Davis recorded a six-point game for Six Nations to lead Six Nations to the 8-5 final score.

Enjoy the holidays without going broke By Brianna McGurran THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Consider ways to dramatically reduce gift-related costs, like drawing names instead of buying for everyone or agreeing to forgo gifts in favour of a group activity. But if those don't work, the following tips can help you give presents to friends and family — and even host your own holiday bash — without spending more than you can afford. SHOP SMARTER Know your spending triggers. When you're shopping for others, you might be tempted to pick up things for yourself or spend more than you planned on each person. Put up psychological barriers to combat impulsive spending, says Laura Adams, a personal finance expert and host of the ``Money Girl'' podcast. That could mean using cash to buy holiday gifts, something 60 per cent of surveyed 18- to 34-yearolds plan to do, accord-

ing to NerdWallet's Consumer Holiday Shopping Report. Or shop online if you're the type who can't resist buying that impossibly soft sweater at the mall. Buy in bulk. For gift exchanges with colleagues or even some family members, cut costs and stress by choosing one affordable item to buy or make in bulk. Product-research website The Wirecutter lists 10 low-cost gift ideas, including gourmet olive oil and movie tickets. Or you can give out baked goods in glass jars, purchased in bulk and customized with printed labels. Go with experiential gifts. Providing an experience or service can be more personal —and cheaper — than a traditional gift. For instance, Adams recommends giving a friend or relative an annual membership to a local museum. Pick a small or quirky institution in town that fits your friend or family member's interests, like the Museum of Food and

Drink in New York, which offers basic memberships for $30 a year. Or offer your time as a gift: If you're tech-inclined, help a relative master a new iPad or learn how to use video-editing software. HOST MORE CREATIVELY Share the costs. Potlucks are an easy go-to so you're not cooking a huge meal for a gaggle of guests. Spice up your potluck by choosing a theme: Ask everyone to cook their favourite holiday dish from home, something inspired by a holiday movie, or a recipe with five ingredients or fewer. Another potluck variation is to offer a base item — like baked potatoes or tacos — and ask your guests to bring the toppings. Focus on the fun. Skip the expensive food and drink prep and invite your guests over for a group viewing of a holiday- or winter-themed movie.

Pharmacy services (For example, MedsCheck Program, Fecal Occult Blood Test/FOBT kits for colorectal cancer screening, Pharmacy Smoking Cessation Program, or vaccine administration) The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (Ministry) will provide access to information about the publicly funded drugs, monitored drugs or pharmacy services you receive to your health care providers (e.g. physicians, nurse practitioners and pharmacists who are directly involved with your care) so they have more information about your medication and pharmacy service history to provide high quality health care to you. Health care providers are required by law to protect the privacy of your personal health information. Can I block access to my information that would be used for health care purposes? If you do not want any of your health care providers to see the information listed above, you can complete a form and submit it to the Ministry. Before making this decision, you are encouraged to consult with your health care providers about the importance of them knowing your medication and pharmacy service history to help make informed decisions about the care you receive. If you do not contact the Ministry to block access to your information, we will consider that you have given us permission to make your information available to your health care providers. If the Ministry has previously notified you that access to your information has been blocked, the Ministry will not give your health care providers access to your information unless you request a change.

For more information, please see “Public Notice Regarding the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s (“ministry”) Collection, Use and Disclosure of Information under the Narcotics Safety and Awareness Act, 2010”.

Card of Thanks

Card of Thanks With the sudden and unexpected passing of my partner, Brandon King, myself and our children, Azure Wilma J, Halen and Hendrick would like to send our most heart felt thanks and love to the following people.

Firstly, I thank Brandon himself. I am forever grateful for the years we’ve shared and forever thankful that I’m able to continue to see you every single day in the faces of our three beautiful children.

To my dad Delmor, brothers Delmor Jr. and Cody, thank you for the love and support given to myself and our children during this very hard time. And much appreciation to your partners. Thank you to my mother, Valerie, for stepping in and caring our children. My sister, Ashlee, never once left my side. You were my eyes when I couldn’t see through the tears, you were my ears when I couldn’t hear, and my voice when I was unable to speak. I thank you sister. I have no words to express the utmost gratitude and love for everything that you all have done and continue to do for us. I’m truly blessed with a loving family that comes together and provides unconditional love and endless support.

Thank you Chrissy, Jenn, and Gaylene for being the embodiment of true friendship. The most sincere thank you to Taylor, Brandi, Richard, Aunt Darlene, Marcie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Delainie, Ange, Bela, Peg, Amanda, all my Royal Bank co-workers, the cooks, each of the pallbearers for taking Brandon to his final resting place, the traditional advisors Ron, PR, Jeremy, and Eddie. A very special thank you to Brandon’s cousin Red for your love, ongoing support and caring for myself and our children. Iron Workers Local 736, Bill Loft and everyone at R.H.B. Anderson Funeral Home, the group of guys from AEGON, Ekwaamjigenang Centre, everyone who brought food to the house, for all the sympathy cards received, and everyone who continues to visit Brandon’s children. I give whole hearted thank you’s.

The most gracious thank you to everyone who has offered, and continue to offer their condolences and sympathies to myself and our children. The response from the community during this most difficult time for our family has been very emotionally overwhelming and ever so appreciated. I would like to acknowledge all the community members who gifted us with gifts in the spirit of the holiday season. We truly live in a caring community! You will never know how the many acts of kindness has touched my heart and soul. I thank everyone for that! WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE, THANK YOU from Lacy, Azure Wilma J, Halen, and Hendrick
