Texting while driving is foolish By Jayson Koblun

Sex offender sought, walks away from holding facility KINGSTON — A serial rapist who attacked women in the Six Nations and Brantford area has fled a correctional facility in Kingston. Police said David Maracle walked away from the Henry Trail Correctional Facility in Kingston at approximately 8:00 p.m. on Sunday. Maracle has an extensive criminal history with convictions that include break and enter,

assault, kidnapping and sexual assaults. Police say Maracle completed his sentence in October 2015 but is under a long-term supervision order for high risk offenders to be supervised for up to 10 years after their sentence expires. Police released a recent photo of Maracle and are asking anyone who may have seen Maracle call 911 immediately.

SIX NATIONS – Countless people text and drive every day, despite the dangers involved. Taking five seconds to check or respond to a text message while travelling at 90 kilometres per hour means you’ve travelled the length of a football field blindfolded; drivers who text while behind the wheel are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near crash than non-distracted drivers; and roughly 26 per cent of all car crashes involve phone use — including hands free. It seems to come down to three groups of drivers who text while driving. Drivers who think they can text and rise above the statistics; drivers who only text at red lights; and drivers who admit to texting while driving because they just can’t seem to help it — despite knowing how dangerous it is. Serena Hsu, a 23-yearold nursing student at

McMaster University admits to falling into the third category of drivers. Knowing that no text message is worth the risk, yet still making the wrong decision sometimes. “I admit to having texted while driving,” said Hsu. “It is foolish because doing anything that takes your mind off the road jeopardizes the safety of another person.” She said that deciding to read or respond to a text while behind the wheel isn’t safe and is in some ways selfish. “In that moment you chose yourself over the people on the road. Whether it be a pedestrian, another driver, or your own passengers. “I think it's prideful to think we can multi-task because in reality, we can only focus on a few things at a time.” A recent study indicates that drivers using phones look at, but fail to see, up to 50 per cent of the information in their driving environment.

ing the amount of items on the road that could already be considered distractions like, road signs, pedestrians, and vehicles changing lanes or merging — removing an extra 50 per cent of your attention span to look at your phone sounds like bad news, yet it still happens hundreds of thousands times a day. Travis Gleason, a 27-year-old child and youth worker said that he has never sent a text message while behind the wheel of a car and doesn’t understand why so many people every day take the risk. “I struggle to understand how grown men and women lack the necessary willpower to just leave their phones alone,” he said. “I mean, what do they think is going to happen in the next 15 to 20 minutes that they simply cannot live without knowing? Is Facebook really that intriguing? It just seems so needlessly dangerous to me.” There are several ways

to train and help yourself not reach for your phone while driving: Turn your phone on silent or airplane mode; completely turn it off; put it out of reach — in the trunk, glove box, or centre console; download an app that prevents you from texting while driving; or ask a passenger to hold it for you until you arrive. “When there's such a huge risk for endangering yourself or others, texting is never really worth it,” said Hsu.

Darlene Butler said her mom didn't want to rent the Community Hall because no one would attend. Instead, close to 200 family, friends, and loved ones gathered to celebrate with Mabel Butler (nee Barnes) at the Community Hall on Saturday. Mabel was born January 19th, 1917. She has lived through the terms of 16 Canadian Prime Ministers and four British Monarchs mostly on 3rd line road, Six Nations. Mabel is pictured here in the left photo with her children Lucille, Brenda, Beverly, Huey, Linda, Sandra and Darlene (not in the photo is Fudd who was not feeling well). In the top right photo Mabel is with her nephews and neices and grandchildren in the bottom right photo. Mabel said that the party "was really nice" and about being one hundred years old "I don't know what it's supposed to feel like to be one hundred."

The re-internment of Brant’s remains By Elizabeth Field

The following is an account of the re-interment of the remains of Captain Joseph Brant and his son John Brant at the Mohawk Chapel in 1850. The remains of the immortal Brant, whose mighty arm had been so frequently uplifted with unequalled success in defence of the country whose very name was dreaded by our foes, and whose valour, patriotism and mercy towards the vanquished were scarcely ever excelled, had reposed in an humble grave, surrounded by his warriors, with no distinguishing marks of the former superiority and rank of the chieftain. The grave itself — humble as it was — seemed forbidden to remain undisturbed; and in its unprotected condition was exposed more or less to the depredations of the animals who grazed upon the common. That generous, and patriotic spirit which crowns with laurels of fame the heroes of the land, which borrows the sculptor's art to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of our rights and liberties, was aroused in behalf of the memory and mortal remains of the warrior chieftain. The unworthy situation and condition of the grave was made known to the public. A proper feeling was awakened with regard to the subject. It was deemed a disgrace to Canada, and

Another inscription at the Mohawk Chapel monument. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

At the Mohawk Chapel near Brantford a monument to Joseph Brant was erected by the Masonic Foundation of Ontario. in this section of Canada in particular, to allow the remains of the celebrated Indian Chief — one of the most valiant and distinguished military leaders — to remain in a spot so slovenly and obscure. It was determined upon to appeal to the public in behalf of erecting a proper tomb to contain the "bones and to perpetuate the memory and exploits of the daring Brant. The views taken by those who deprecated the apathy hitherto manifested in this respect was well received by the public; and the appeal made was nobly responded to. Funds for the accomplishment of the design were generously furnished by the public; and it was determined to erect a desirable tomb — to exhume the bones of Brant and with suitable ceremony to carry them to their final resting place. Much interest and excitement prevailed on the subject, and a day was mentioned for the public removal of the bones of the brave warrior, who in his obscure grave was "taking his rest." Monday, November 25th, 1850, was selected by the committee of management to attend to the solemn ceremony. The procession accordingly was formed on the Cricket Ground, before the Presbyterian Church, in the presence of a large concourse of people, mostly in carriages and wagons. The Brant and Gore Lodges of Odd Fellows, with the distinguishing badges of their order. The Free Masons, accompanied by several of the

brethren from Hamilton among whom was Sir Allan N. McNab, furnished with the dresses and instruments and other insignia of their society. The Orangemen, without regalia or badges. The Mayor and Corporation. Citizens on foot. An immense line of vehicles of every description crowded with spectators, spectators on horseback. After the procession was duly formed, preceded by the band, it passed through the principle streets of the town, and proceeded to the Mohawk Burial Ground. On arriving at the Church the procession was met and joined by the Tuscarora Indian Lodge of the Sons of Temperance, headed by the Tuscarora Indian Band. The Indian children and youths connected with the Mohawk Indian Mechanic’s Institution next joined the procession, then a number of the chieftains. Next followed a goodly number of Indians and a company of Indian Warriors with their muskets. On arriving at the square opposite the Mechanic's Institute, the crowd were placed back and a circle joined by the various societies in front of the platform, which had been erected for the occasion. When silence was procured the audience were briefly and ably addressed by the Chairman, William Holme, Esq., who called upon the several speakers. We are indebted to the Hamilton Spectator for a report of them. Although Brant was a great warrior, and faithful ally of the British in

war, his services in times of peace were equally valuable, and should never be forgotten. He had bestowed a great deal of time and labour in translating portions of the New Testament, and the Book of Common Prayers, for the use of his tribe, and his exertions to Christianize the Indians had been unceasing and should be held in veneration by the whole British nation. The Rev. Peter Jones, a Methodist minister, and a chief of the Mississaugas, spoke next: His late father and the elder Brant had long been staunch friends. The tract selected (for the Haldimand Deed) was that on which they stood, and from that day to this the Six Nations and Mississaugas had lived on terms of amity, and had rendered many valuable services to each other. Jones was himself adopted into the Six Nations as one of their chiefs, and his heart had been made glad in consequence of the honour. Sir Allan McNab, who appeared in the splendid regalia appertaining to his rank in the Masonic order, said that he had been quite unexpectedly called upon. He considered this an occasion which reflected the greatest credit upon the people of the neighbourhood. He had the honour of being acquainted with the elder Brant, and was a school fellow of his son John; they afterwards did something for their country together, and he had enjoyed the friendship of John Brant until the day of his death. David Thorburn, Esq., Chief Indian Commissioner, said that appeared there not only in that capacity, but as one of the inhabitants of the Province to which Brant had rendered invaluable service. This was a great and important occasion. It was the 43rd anniversary of the death of the great chief, respect for whose memory had brought them together. Henry Brant was called on to make some remarks

on behalf of the Indians expressive of their gratitude, which were interpreted to the company. Lewis Burwell, Esq., had heard of the history of Brant, who was always admitted to be a consummate commander, and as generous as brave. He mentioned, also, in evidence of his dignity, that he refused the honour of Knighthood from the King, because he would have to kneel during the ceremony, remarking that he was an ally, not a subject of His Majesty, he was a King like himself, and could not submit to do homage. He had also refused a patent for lands from Governor Simcoe, on behalf of the Indians, because the instrument would cause them to surrender their nationality, and render them dependents, in the same position as minors. About the year 1826 Capt. John Brant became the Superintendent of the Six Nations Indians, and he knew that the Indians gratefully remembered his services as their Superintendent. He knew that Captain John Brant was the means of the Indian Surrender for the town of Brantford, and the inhabitants of that town could trace their prosperity to Captain John Brant. At the conclusion of the speeches, the coffin containing the remains of the chieftain was carried by six Master Masons to the new tomb—the scene, affecting as it was, being rendered doubly so by the solemn strains of the Dead March in Saul, played by the band. Here,

previous to the closing of the tomb, several appropriate prayers were offered up by the Reverend Missionary, Mr. Nelles. Three rounds of cartridge were fired over the grave by the warriors and the sepulcher was closed upon the mortal remains of the noble chieftain, Brant and his son. The large concourse of people again returned to Brantford, but not in regular procession, and separated quietly and orderly. Also, of curious note: The Brant County Museum reports of a newspaper article claiming, “The tomb of Chief Joseph Brant is located beside the Mohawk Chapel. In March, 1909, it was rumoured that in 1879 a group of medical students from Toronto "on a night's revels" had raided the grave and taken Brant's skeleton." The youthful grave robbers who were looking for a fraternity artifact similar to the “Skull and Cross Bones” societies within American Universities of learning, were found and the remains returned, according to the same rumour. It has also been rumoured for years that the skull of Joseph Brant is in the possession of the Masonic Order and is still used for secret ceremonies. It was said to have been spirited away my Masons sometime during the re-interment ceremonies of 1850. Brant had started Masonic Lodge No. 11 at the Mohawk Village shortly after the arrival of the Mohawks and their allied tribes.

OPINION

There has never been a better time to be indigenous EDITORIAL BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

When I first learned about Orenda, it was when I was taught about traditional lacrosse sticks. I was told that a woman's power and the Orenda in a traditional lacrosse stick will fuse and become too powerful. In other words, I was taught that when a woman uses a traditional lacrosse stick she's likely to hurt herself or others because she can't control the amount of combined spiritual power. So, if you search for the definition of “Orenda” in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it defines it as: an extraordinary invisible power believed by the [Haudenosaunee] to pervade in varying degrees all animate and inanimate natural objects as a transmissible spiritual energy capable of being exerted according to the will of its possessor. Broken down; Orenda is the spiritual power found in everything.

It wasn't long after this understanding of Orenda that the novel The Orenda, by Joseph Boyden crossed my path. I was given a copy to read when I was about 17 years old or so. I looked at the cover, the authors name, reviewed the synopsis and the first thing that came to my head was “this must be a non-native man writing fiction about my peoples history”. This piqued my interest; especially since he wasn't a historian and no sources cited were legitimate as much as I could tell. I Googled reviews and many Canadian voices were claiming it to be “a masterpiece.” But, I delved deeper to find the native ones because I knew they wouldn't be clouded. On March 7 of 2014, Hayden King (Ojibwe and Pottawotami from Gchi'mnissing in Huronia, Ont.) wrote to CBC that this novel was a “com-

forting narrative to Canadians” and that “The Haudenosaunee are not represented well at all.”. In fact, this book makes us out to be the antagonists of the break down of the Huron Confederacy, and paints us to be “A menace, lurking in the dark forest, waiting to torture or cannibalize.”. Quite interesting, considering that we are the people that accepted the Great Law of Peace from the Huron Peacemaker, Tekanonwi:ta by the time Jesuits arrived as the book suggests. After reading that, I didn't even care that the book is fictitious any more. I didn't want to read the book then and I don't want to read it now because of how thick I can see that the misrepresentation is. Especially since Boyden claimed “A goal in writing the book was to recount an accurate history without casting

blame or making it about 'white hats and black hats.’”. So, it is very timely I would guess that someone explains the morality of writing and artistry. As one of the youngest female North American Indigenous authors and journalists, allow me to explain my own moral boundaries in what I choose to write. I am specifically Kanetaga Seneca Nation from the Snapping Turtle Clan family of the Haudenosaunee. As a writer; I choose to write about my life, my experiences, my community, my opinions, my history, my people, my culture, my ancestry, and oftentimes I write to be a voice for others. In the previous sentence, please note that I used the word “my” an awful lot. What I mean by “my,” is everything that I identify with as a part of who I am. This means that I write by drawing from what makes up my identity as an indigenous woman. I would never write about experiences I never had from a Kenyan perspective, I would never write using Chinese folklore as inspiration, and I definitely would never draw from Brazilian history to write a piece of fiction. Why? I understand how much identity means to others

because I understand the importance of my own. I would never portray another culture or belief system with a cheap or untrue recollection of their history, legends or ways of life. Even if I absolutely had to, I would do it under the guidance of the people that belong to that culture and history and write directly from them; mainly out of due respect and reverence. Heck, if I wanted to write a piece of fiction I wouldn't even base it on real, living and breathing people. And personally, I would much rather read experiences from true and real people that lived them or are the product of them. Let us draw the contrast of two familiar carvings; one is located near the Wing Master restaurant in Brantford and the other is located in Ohsweken just outside of Erlinds Restaurant. One was carved by a native artist, the other by a non-native artist. One carving I love to look at it on my way into Brantford, the other carving I can tell is an interpretation of a West Coast totem pole and reminds me of ‘90s cartoons. Although the difference in the two carvings is uncanny; I can understand that for artists work is money. As an artist, there is a moral decision that must be made to create some-

thing. This means that all of the cultural appropriation that you see today has an artist or writer standing behind it that made a “yes, I'll do it” decision. I believe money, fame, notoriety and what-haveyou can definitely influence that decision. But so can guilt, shame and negative rapport. So, sitting at his computer to write; Joseph Boyden weighed his own moral decision. Perhaps he didn't even weigh it at all, I wouldn't know. But what it looks like to me is that money, fame and notoriety definitely outweighed guilt and shame in his decision to write. The negativity he's getting now I believe is well-deserved, and the poking and prodding being done to find out if he actually is native is something he called upon himself. Today, when I think of his work all I think of is how he took advantage of the knowledge that there has never been a better time to be indigenous since before Europeans came.

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks

150th anniversary a grim reminder for Canadians By Rachel A. Snow Although Kanata has existed since time immemorial, Canada has officially existed since the patriation of the constitution. Canada is a colony elevated to statehood. It is the First Peoples, not Canadians who welcomed the European settlers to share the land and resources of Turtle Island and/or Kanata. What does more than 150 years of sharing the land look like for the First Peoples? Across this land stories break about the First Peoples in mainstream media. They are stories of sorrow with multiple deaths or suicides; harm attributed to violence or addictions, statistical nightmares, pleadings with the government, and unresolved anger. Each story or report is met with grim faced one-liners from the government or perpetrating oppressive agency saying: It’s “not in the budget” or “unfortunate oversight” or “deemed unnecessary”. First Nations have lived for more than 150 years with this same legacy. Current settlers say they live “in the best country” in the world, but they “live” and celebrate at the expense of the original peoples. This assertion is rebutted with settler comebacks like “it’s history”, “get over it” or “I didn’t do it”. We remind you that after 150 years, our people are still fighting the same fights and not “reconciling” nor will we be trophies at any Canada 150 year celebrations. Canada will showcase the bead and feathered Indians! At every international event, the Indians are always escorted out — front and centre on stage in colourful regalia whooping it up to make sure that the global audience knows, well (1) that

there are still Indians and (2) that we’re clearly being honoured with this inclusion. Let’s take a look at Canada’s truth. There are more than 150 missing and murdered Indigenous women. There are more than 150 First Nation children in child and family care agencies. There are more than 150 Indian men and women currently incarcerated. There are more than 150 reserves with poor water, housing or road access. There are more than 150 First Nation schools underfunded without proper facilities. There are more than 150 First Nations grappling with serious health issues. This list is actually much greater in all these instances and yet every year, the federal government faithfully gathers data recording the slow genocide. Poverty is the genocidal tool that Canada currently employs. In a country that is celebrating 150 years of “success”, it comes at the expense of indigenous lives. The agenda is there. If you don’t see it then you’re not looking hard enough. Do all Canadians know that on reserve there are no busses or transportation systems if you don’t have a vehicle? This is generally true, but as municipalities overrun our reserve lands, lines are being crossed. Do all Canadians know that when land was allocated under section 91(24) of the British North America Act (suspiciously changed to Constitution Act - Ed), surveyors or the good old church folk often took prime land for themselves as reserve land was surveyed and meted out? Gosh that’s not in the

history books! Do all Canadians know that the “Indian Act” that is federal legislation has controlled and still controls every facet of “Indian life”? From passes given out by Indian Agents (to leave the reserve), to the outlawing of ceremonies, withholding of rations, distribution of ammunition or farm implements, determining membership and governance structures, the Federal Government has always “been in charge”. This is the problem. This is the reality. After 150 years of genocidal policies, legislation and law it is incredible that there are any real Indians left standing. After 150 years of forced assimilation policies, it is a wonder that any First Nation people exist with their languages and cultural practices intact. After 150 years of trying to fix the “Indian problem” with patriarchal solutions, the First Peoples remain. After 150 years, the First Peoples are tired of this inequity. After 150 years, the First Peoples are tired of the hypocrisy. After 150 years, the First Peoples are no longer silent. Celebrations for the First Peoples are ongoing. They are the daily prayers of thanksgiving, the naming of a first grandchild, and the rites of passage for our young men and women. They are the moments when Creation speaks in the original tongues offering guidance and insight. As original people, we are communal and related by kinship not only to our human relations, the human beings but also to our brothers and sisters — the plant and animal life. We honour this connection because we all rely on one another to survive.

As “Canada” plans its celebrations, they will actually be celebrating 35 years of separate statehood. Coincidentally, they are celebrating a 150-year holiday after 35 years of actual statehood, which is the section in the constitution that protects “aboriginal rights”. How apropos. Canada can’t get any of it right. Canada cannot honour the fact that this country was to be inhabited between the Europeans and their descendants and the First Peoples and their descendants. With the high poverty rates, low life expectancy, historical horrors and trauma and ongoing federal interference, is it any wonder that the First Peoples find they have nothing to cel-

ebrate? Finally, to rebut some pesky settler comebacks, like “it’s history”. Well, history also includes that the Europeans were running from the divine right of kings and hierarchical societies to have “freedom” in the new world. So if settlers came here, they owe their position now to our indigenous ancestors who gave them this opportunity. Another phrase we’re told is “get over it”. This is hard to do as we currently are still IN it. It is in the headlines where funding for suicide prevention came at an “awkward” time for health Canada. It is in the fact that Cindy Blackstock had to go to the Human Rights Commission to file a

complaint about unequal funding for indigenous children on reserve in the Child and Family services agencies. Blackstock won this fight and the Federal Government is still not budging on providing a remedy one year after this decision. Canada’s impulsive celebration should start with actual facts. Canada the colony is 150 years old; Canada the state is far younger. Canada also has yet to produce a bill of sale for “ownership” of this country. Until Canada does so, by their own laws (that is the ones they inherited from the mother land) they are squatting on the First Peoples land. Celebrate that.

By Nahnda Garlow with CP files WASHINGTON — The Keystone XL pipeline is alive — maybe. Trump revived hopes for the dormant project Tuesday. He signed an executive order that could build the Alberta-to-Texas pipeline, the subject of a multi-year saga that cast a long shadow on bilateral relations. The order invites pipeline-maker TransCanada Corp. to re-submit an application for a permit. It also encourages U.S. federal regulatory agencies to respond the opposite way the Obama administration did: favourably, and quickly, within 60 days. ``(It) directs agencies to approve it without delay,'' Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said Tuesday. But it remains far from a done deal. There's ongoing uncertainty on multiple fronts _ some are anticipated legal and political fights, and others are less-predictable wrinkles introduced Tuesday by the president himself. Hundreds of environmental and indigenous agencies spoke out against the orders, calling them ‘insane’. Tom BK Goldtooth, Executive Director of the Indigenous Environmental Network said “These actions by President Trump are insane and extreme, and nothing short of attacks on our ancestral homelands as Indigenous peoples. The actions

by the president today demonstrate that this Administration is more than willing to violate federal law that is meant to protect Indigenous rights, human rights, the environment and the overall safety of communities for the benefit of the fossil fuel industry. Goldtooth said the attacks “will not be ignored, our resistance is stronger now than ever before and we are prepared to push back at any reckless decision made by this Administration. If Trump does not pull back from implementing these orders, it will only result in more massive mobilization and civil disobedience on a scale never seen of a newly seated President of the United States.” Director of environmental protection organization Green for All, Vien Trong, says Trump’s statements are evidence his administration sees people living at the frontline of pollution and environmental devastation as unimportant. Trong said, “For too long, the fossil fuel industry has targeted low-income communities and communities of color for their dirtiest projects. Polluters have seen the human impact of their pollution as collateral damage and our government continues to let them get away with it. We stand with the Standing Rock and will continue to stand with indigenous people and all vulnerable com-

munities to ensure these pipelines never sees the light of day.” The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe also responded Tuesday and said President Donald Trump’s executive action towards an approval of an easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline risks contaminating tribal and American water supplies while disregarding treaty rights. The tribe says the “Trump administration’s politically motivated decision violates the law and the Tribe will take legal action to fight it.” “President Trump is legally required to honor our treaty rights and provide a fair and reasonable pipeline process,” said Dave Archambault II, chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. “Americans know this pipeline was unfairly rerouted towards our nation and without our consent. The existing pipeline route risks infringing on our treaty rights, contaminating our water and the water of 17 million Americans downstream.” The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers rejected DAPL's request for an easement late last year, finding that the agency had failed to fully consider the impacts of the pipeline on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The Department of the Army pledged to conduct a full environmental review of the Missouri River crossing and evaluate alternative sites, which CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

would not put the Tribe at risk of an oil spill. However, that environmental review would be circumvented under today's Executive Order, allowing the project to immediately resume construction. Trump’s press secretary said on Monday that Trump intended to approve the easement with an aim towards job creation. But tribal leaders note the bulk of pipeline jobs are in pipeline construction. The pipeline

only creates a total of 15 permanent jobs in North Dakota. A reroute would protect the Tribe’s water and create hundreds of jobs, Archambault said. Standing Rock said it’s not a matter of if, but when DAPL will leak. Sunoco, one of the American companies operating DAPL, has a poor record on pipeline safety and spill prevention. Data from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, show operators have reported

about 200 crude oil spills per year, on average. More than 176,000 gallons of oil spilled in western North Dakota last month alone. Archambault said Trump’s decision appears to be a political payback. “By granting the easement, Trump is risking our treaty rights and water supply to benefit his wealthy contributors and friends at DAPL,” he said. “We are not opposed to energy independence. We are opposed to reckless and politically

motivated development projects, like DAPL, that ignore our treaty rights and risk our water. Creating a second Flint does not make America great again.” Jane Kleeb, a political activist who initially organized Nebraska farmers against the project, listed a half-dozen remaining obstacles, including: a constitutional battle over the state's pipeline law, a new permitting process in Nebraska, and potential protests and legal actions

9 by indigenous peoples in South Dakota. ``It's absolutely disgusting that Donald Trump is now going to use eminent domain for private gain against American farmers for a foreign pipeline,'' Kleeb said. ``(He) wants to build a wall to protect America from Mexico — and yet here he is saying that any foreign country can now pierce our border with a pipeline without any federal review.'' Within hours came word of a protest planned

for later Tuesday outside the White House, a clear foreshadowing of the political fight that looms. An organizer of the first national protests, Bill McKibben, explained in a 2015 interview why he fought to stop the pipeline: To complicate development of the oilsands, in the hope of speeding up the global shift to clean energy. ``We can't bankrupt the fossil-fuel industry,'' McKibben said at the time. ``But we can begin to politically bankrupt them _ and we're trying.''

Local ice carver to compete at international level By Chezney Martin If you want to hear some good stories, ask Ryan Hill about carving. The good-humoured carver started his career by learning how to carve soap stone at the Red Barn craft camp on Six Nations. He went on to sell his first piece when he was just 15 years old. “When I was like seven years old I wanted to try carving,” said Hill. “My parents gave me a knife and I started whittling out wood. Then over the years I tried carving here and there.” Hill said he is “really proud” of his small beginnings at the Red Barn and his first deviation from soap stone led him to try pumpkin carving at a workshop in New York City in October of 2012 at the Botanical Gardens. “Then I found ice,” he said. Hill admitted he had always been drawn to ice as a medium. This led to his first try at ice carving in a competition dubbed the Winterlude Public Ice

Carving Competition in Crystal Gardens. “You have to submit a whole portfolio of what you've did before,” he said. “It's a pretty big deal because there were a lot of entries into the solo category.” His first attempt at the international level was to see how he measured up, but this time he will be competing in the solo category to carve seven 297 pound blocks of clear ice in hours. “I'm newer to ice carving so there's a lot of little subtleties that I don't know, and that I'm still learning,” he said. “I have experience from last year which is pretty good, because I know what I have to do now.” But, the fact that tools Carver Ryan Hill poses with his finished masterpiece sculpted entirely from ice. This piece won him first place at the 2013 Winterlude Public Ice Carving Challenge in Ottawa. Carving Challenge in Ottawa at Confederation Park, on February 16, 2013. “The first time I took

a chisel to ice I was like 'wow,'” he said. “I was just blown away. I couldn't believe the way it cuts. It's just really different and it's an unbelievable material to work with” Hill even took home first place for his icy rendition of an indigenous chief. “It was a great day, the sun was shining, and that's how I got into it,” he said. “I was sitting there carving away — trying to go real fast — 'cause I only had two hours, and somebody yelled 'Ryan!' I turned around and it was Robert and Donnie Jacobs,” he said, explaining that it was nice to see familiar faces from Six Nations. Now a member of the Canadian Ice Carvers Society; Hill is the only member of the society to make it past the selection process to get into his second international competition. Within just a few weeks, Hill will be travelling to Ottawa to compete at the ATCO International Ice

are so expensive Hill is pushed to have to borrow the tools he needs, but this doesn't stop him from doing what he loves. “When I sculpt it's a feeling, when I carve it's a feeling. I think it's like a whole spiritual process and it's really what's inside of me, like in my heart that I get to carve,” and Hill hopes to bring that mentality to the table at the international

level once again. Hill's Facebook page Rock Studio has received more than 300 likes, and he regularly posts his pieces if you would like to check out some of his work. If you would like to support Hill to find a way to cover the cost of tools, contact him via email stottryan@ live.com or text 343-3707223.

Montour rumours at trade deadline By Jim Windle SAN DIEGO – With the NHL trade deadline just over the horizon, teams are re-evaluating their needs and their wants. For Brandon Montour, as a young offensive minded defenseman and the AHL San Diego Gulls’ top scorer, he is in a good place to either move up to the Ducks permanently, or go on the trading block. By all accounts, Montour, has worked hard to get his first taste of the NHL by being patient with both the organization and his own development. Ducks head coach Randy Carlyle has referred to Montour as the best player in San Diego, and well deserving of a shot at a regular place with the big club. It is a matter of time and Montour knows to keep himself ready for his next call up. Since returning to the AHL Gulls, the Gulls have not lost and Montour, scored a goal and an assist in San Diego’s 5-3 win Jan.11, two goals including the OT game winner and an assist Jan.13, a goal Jan. 16, and an assist Jan. 20. His present AHL stats show Montour with 11 goals, 17 assists for 28 points in 30 games played.

Early rumours have Anaheim Ducks rushing defenseman Brandon Montour named in a possible trade with Buffalo for Tyler Myers. Deadline is March 1st and the Sabres are looking for a scoring forward but will still need a defender to replace Tyler's right shot on defence and Montour seems to be a pretty good fit to some. SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Rumours and insider talk have included a possible trade with the Buffalo Sabres for defenseman Tyler Myers. “The Ducks have the assets to make the deal and Buffalo GM Tim Murray can get the ball rolling on the deadline,” according to media in Anaheim. “He’s got the bargaining chips and there’s a ton of interest in Myers,” said a league executive about the Ducks position, which includes a glut of right shooting defensemen including Montour. But the Sabres do not want Myres going to Detroit, where interest has also been shown, so a deal with a Western team would be much better for them.

If in fact the Ducks are waving Montour’s name around as trade deadline comes close, anything is possible since pretty well every team wants to load up with at lead one rushing defenseman with the assets Montour brings to the table heading into the playoffs. The latest NHL trade rumours may include Six Nations’ Brandon Montour. Word out of Buffalo hints towards Sabres trying to move Tyler Myers for some firepower up front, but a deal would also include one of Anaheim’s right shooting defensemen. Someone like Montour perhaps?

Hag Hawks position selves for playoffs By Jim Windle HAGERSVILLE – Christian Monochino, scored two goals to help the Hagersville Hawks past the Dunnville Jr. Mudcats 4-1 Saturday night in Dunnville. Most of the damage was done in the first period as Westly Fritz and Monochino built a 3-0 Hagersville lead after 20 minutes. Dunnville’s lone goal was scored by Riley Quesnelle on a powerplay after Hagersville’s Ralph Taggart and Mudcats’ Luke Rowe became embroiled late in the pe-

riod. Six Nations’ Shawn General scored Hagersville’s last goal to go with an assist for the 4-1 win. Although he didn’t see nearly as much action as Dunnville’s Brennan Head, Hagersville goaltender Stephen Tierney had to make some good saves to keep the Mudcats at bay. After last weekend’s games, the Hagersville Hawks are in fourth place but only one point out of third and holding a one game advantage over the Port Dover Sailors. The Hawks will

have an opportunity to move up the standings this Thursday, January 26th when they fly to Niagara Falls to face the Riverhawks who are in second last place in the division. This all makes Friday night’s clash between Hagersville and Port Dover at the Hagersville Arena a very important game for both teams with only a handful of games left before the post season playoff matchups begin. Gametime is 7:30 p.m.

Arena Lacrosse League weekly report By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Arena Lacrosse League had an unplanned mini-showcase day. The Oshawa Outlaws and St. Catharines Shockwave using the ILA as a neutral site game due to floor scheduling issues at 1 p.m. followed by the Six Nations Snipers versus Toronto Monarchs at 4 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m., the Paris RiverWolves and the Peterborough Timbermen faced off just down the road in Paris. By Sunday morning four teams were tied with identical 2-1-0 records. The Paris RiverWolves got their first win in thee outings while the Peterborough Timbermen were still looking for that illusive first win. The Snipers and Monarchs put on a thriller of a game that kept fans glued to their seats until the last second. But in the end, Six Nations fans went home happy after a 16-13 comeback win. Monarchs’ Matt Lyons scored first, 3:31 into the game with a rocket over Chase Martin’s shoulder which Stu Hill answered and Layne Smith upped the anti on with his first of a four goal performance. There seemed to be considerable confusion among

Six Nations Snipers' Alex Haodais Maracle, No. 88, was the playmaker of the game scoring once but setting up six. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE the on-floor officials regarding the rules of the new league. The former Canadian Lacrosse League had its own set of rules apart from today’s NLL game. The ALL follows NLL rules and uses the same net sizes. The result of the confusion was two very frustrated coaches and benches of players. But eventually

everyone climatized to the rules and the flow of the game and it was a close one. The Snipers led 2-1 after the first quarter, and was tied at 7-7 at the half. Each team scored three times in the third quarter and at the seven-minute mark of the fourth quarter the score was tied at 12-12. The Snipers had more

left in the tank as the game grew old and scored four of the last five goals of the game for the 16-13 win. There were several multi-point Snipers on record including Haodais Maracle (1G,6A), Layne Smith (4G,2A), Roger Vyse (1G,4A), Danton Miller (1G,3A), Travis Longboat (2G,2A), Stu Hill (2G,1A),

Race Vyse (2G,1A), Patrick Corbitt (2G), and Shane Adams (2A). Tyler Albrecht scored as well. The Snipers will officially be the visitors to St Catharines next Saturday night, but the game will be played at the ILA where the ShockWave are playing out of until their own facility becomes available. It will be a 7 p.m. start. Saturday’s 1 p.m. contest was a heart-stopping, close game all the way but in the end, the Shockwave prevailed 10-8. Chris Attwood and Cameron Seneca gave St. Catharines a 2-0 lead but Oshawa’s Mike Triolo and Dylan Goddard erased that lead before the end of the quarter. The Shockwave took back the lead with Josh Becker scoring 40 seconds into the second quarter but the Outlaws then stole the momentum as TJ Sanders notching three goals in a row to give Toronto a 5-3 lead. That lead didn’t hold either. Josh Becker and Anthony Patterson made it a new game again at 5-5 at the half. The Shockwave took the lead back again with a diving goal scored by Josh Becker, but the Outlaws tied it yet again thanks to John St. John.

Slade and Bryan Neufeld closed the third quarter with St. Catharines leading 8-6. The Shockwave opened up a 9-6 threegoal lead in the last quarter, which Oshawa pushed back to 9-7. Becker made it 10-7 with his fourth goal of the contest and TJ Sanders scored his fourth of the game for the Outlaws for the 10-8 final. In the evening game played at the Syl Apps Arena, the Paris RiverWolves earned their first win of the inaugural season of the Arena Lacrosse League defeating the Peterborough Timbermen, 14-11, in Paris. And boy did it taste good. The RiverWolves dropped its first two games of the young season and were more than ready for the sweet taste of success and they earned it. Paris led 2-1 after the first quarter and 9-5 at the half. Peterborough pushed back some in the third quarter but the Paris lead held through a 3-3 final quarter for the win. Saturday, Jan. 28, the Timbermen will return the hospitality as the RiverWolves travel to Peterborough, where they hope to repeat the same results.

Pro-Fit Corvairs strengthen hold on first place By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – Saturday night the Pro-Fit Corvairs hosted the Niagara Falls Canucks after an easy time in Pelham the night before where they took a 6-1 win. Caledonia continues to pile up the points and after 40 games Caledonia is safely settled in first place with a 35-4-1-0 record for 71 points with a wins of .888. The next closest team in the Golden Horseshoe Conference is the St. Catharines Falcons in second spot with 63 points on 30 wins, six losses and three OT losses for 63 points. The Canucks came out on fire at the Haldimand Centre Arena in Caledonia, but despite outshooting the Corvairs, 12-9, the score stood tied at 1-1 after the first 20 minutes of play. Quentin Maksimovich scored, shorthanded, for Caledonia and Harrison Cottam did the honours for Niagara, while Bradley Van Schubert kept the Corvairs on an even keel in the Caledonia net. Although Caledonia reversed the flow of the game in the second, Niagara’s Austin Wright opened and closed the middle frame

with Adam Craievich squeezing one in between to make it a 3-2 game in favour of the visiting Canucks. It was Zach Moore’s turn to shine in the second period as he turned aside all but one of the 17 shots he had to face. It almost seemed like the Corvairs were playing with the Canucks like a cat with a mouse because Caledonia totally owned the third period after finding the key to Niagara’s cage. Successive goals by Trent Mallette, Eddie Schultz,

Mike Baird and Brandon Lindberg, who finished the night off with an empty netter. As if any testimony were necessary to prove the point, but once again, after three straight Sutherland Cups, the Corvairs have assembled four full lines any one of which can, and does, score goals. There were six different goals corers in the Corvairs’ win. Top gun, however, is Brandon Lindberg who has gathered 30 goals and 49 assists for 79 points in 36

games he has dressed for. The first place Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs took it easy on the 9-25-0 Pelham Panthers Friday night in Pelham easily taking the two points with a 6-1 win. Pelham fans got one chance to cheer at 7:31 of the first period Friday night when Matthew Shuckett scored on Daniel Chenard in the Caledonia net. That would also be the last time as the Corvairs came to life and scored the next six. Eddie Schutz even the score at 10:06 from Brandon Lindberg and Alex Gonyou. Schulz added another at 7:19 of the second followed by Adam Craievich and two late goals by Lindberg. Craievich scored the only goal of the third period for the 6-1 final. This coming week in Jr. B action will see the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs Saturday January 28th at the Haldimand Centre at 7:30 pm, when the Buffalo Regals, the league bottom dwellers who have but one victory so far this season, will provide whatever opposition they can muster. Sunday Caledonia is in Welland to face the Canadians at 7 p.m.

Cameron Sault leads Blast in scoring By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – The Brantford Blast strengthened their grip in third place in the Allan Cup Hockey, Sr. AAA, with Friday night’s 6-4 win over the Dundas Real McCoys at the Brantford and District Civic Centre. That was followed by a 6-3 win over the Steelhawks of Hamilton in its inaugural year in the Sr. AAA Allan Cup Hockey League. The Blast have been quietly making up ground on the league leaders in recent weeks and has put some room between themselves and fourth place Thorold. Friday night in Brantford, the Blast took out the Dundas Real McCoys 6-3 but not before falling behind 2-0 at 6:16 of the second period. Derek Medeiros took advantage of a high sticking call against McCoys’ Jordan Foreman to cut the lead to one.

Foreman later blew his cool completely and did so all over referees Pete Kostyk and Michael Harrington much to the delight of Brantford fans whose taunts made it even worse. Foreman was assessed a 10 minute abuse of officials misconduct, plus a game, a Derogatory Comment Gross Misconduct as well as another gross Misconduct for flashing an obscene gesture in his tirade, all at 19:07 of the third period. The meltdown pretty well took Dundas out of the game as Brantford scored five, of the games last six goals, two by Shane Terry and singles by Dustin Alcock, Kevin Christmas and a shorthander by Sault. New Credit’s Cameron Sault continued to be a consistent threat to opponents with a goal and an assist over Dundas, and three assists in the win over Hamilton Saturday night.

Since joining the team in the 2012-13 campaign. Sault has played in 129 games and to date has scored 45 goals and 105 assists for 150 points. PHOTO BY LYAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Sault is now tied with ex-NHL and European Hockey veteran Joel Prpic with six goals and 20 assists for 26 points to lead the Blast offence.

The Blast’s next outing is Friday Jan. 27, at the Brantford and District Civic Centre. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m.

Rebels announce coaches for 2017 By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Rebels organization has announced its choice for head coach and bench staff for this coming OLA Jr. B season. Miles General will be joined by Johnny Powless, Kenny Miller, Matt Myke and goaltending coach Derek General. “I’m just glad for the opportunity,” General told TRT Sports. “I’ve been through a few changes and I believe I have a much clearer outlook these days.” General, Cam Bomberry, and Delby Powless, along with Minto Cup Championship teams from 1992 and 2007, were inducted into the Jr. A Arrows Hall of Fame. Although he has not coached at this level of the game before, he feels he has learned a great deal from former coaches he has played for, including his father, former Elected Chief David General who coached the Jr. A Arrows to a Minto Cup. “I sure learned a lot from Les Wakeling who pretty well invented the offence/defence game,” he adds. The 2016 season was in some regards a disappointment by Rebels standards anyway. After finishing second in the South West Division be-

hind the Niagara Thunderhawks, the Rebels were dispatched by the Orangeville Northmen who went on to win the Founders Cup last year. After owning the chalice for four an unprecedented four straight years the much anticipated Drive-for-Five, 2015 season came up short as the Akwesasne Indians defeated Six Nations for the right to represent the OLA and went on to win the cup for the first time in franchise history. General and this year’s Rebels hope to return the Rebel Nation to its former glory and get that Founders Cup back on display at Six Nations. General says he hopes to get the players ready for whatever kind of game they need, but will “insist on discipline, desire and determination,” he says.

Pottery makers potting seeds of culture PAID ADVERTISEMENT

By Victor Martisius Culture, family and passion are the driving forces behind Cindy Henhawk and her partner in pottery Judi Henhawk Sault’s business, Anthony Pottery. “I don’t just love it, it’s a part of me. It’s me.” said Cindy, the owner and founder of Santhony Pottery. Santhony Pottery of Six Nations is dead set on furthering the legacy of indigenous culture through their traditional handcrafted pieces. They mix passion and talent to create functional works of art ranging anywhere from cream and sugar sets to seed pots as well as vases and various containers. Their pieces are all one of a kind, handcrafted and detailed using tools they make themselves and are definitely hard to miss. “The tools that we have, they have to be

made,” she said. “You can’t buy them.” Santhony Pottery has caught attention both nationally and internationally having their art exported to countries such as Germany, Australia, Japan and England as well as all across Canada even being displayed at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). “When I first started I named my pottery Eagle Spirit and that’s when the ROM came in and said ‘Cindy we want to do an art gallery surrounding your pottery name Eagle Spirit’,” Cindy said. Her pottery was on display with some of Six Nations’ finest artists. “I changed [the name] because people kept thinking I was saying Evil Spirit. So I thought ‘what am I going to name my pottery to have it mean something,’ so Santhony came about. Family values are priority number one for Santhony Pottery and it all

starts with the name. “It’s Santhony because my husbands name is Anthony and if my son was a girl he would have been Santhony but he was a boy so his name’s Anthony,” explains Cindy. “It’s the girl version of Anthony and it’s my granddaughters middle name now.” Through pottery they are able to teach skills, indigenous culture and offer something to take home after all is said and done. “[Learning how to make pottery] lets people know who we are,” she said. “You can actually see it. If [the pottery] is sitting right in front of you, you can see it and it reinforces [the lessons],” added Henhawk Sault. You can find Santhony Pottery on Facebook and purchase their work on Ebay or you can catch them throughout the year set up at various Pow Wows. Check them out.

Birthday Announcement

This is Ash and well a lot of people know her, she’s always smiling and laughing with everyone. She stops to chat with everyone and takes all the “life/school/boyfriend” advice that everyone gives her. She is the oldest of 5 kids, so she tends to have more stresses on her than her sisters do, and am sorry for that. She’s is at an age when she wants more freedom and space to make her own mistakes and lord have mercy its hard - cause as a parent “we all know the outcome of gant decisions”.. Pretty sure she taught me more about being a “mom” than anyone ever will, we had our struggles and arguments and I know she wears her heart of her sleeve, as mom all I want to do is protect it – that’s my job right? Well turns out she showed me that I need to let her make mistakes and figure it out… we grew a lot closer since l let her grow and learn it on her own… them “good ol life lessons” can be a B*tch as she learned real quick. All in all I can she is a hard working kid, she isn’t lazy, she helps out where ever she goes – I know because ppl tell me. She literally is like a mom to her baby brothers! their little eyes light up when they see her and sadly she acts like the boss of her sisters lol. * you get that power when you’re the oldest* She’s turning 17 on the 27th she’s surrounded by some crazy fun loving friends/cousins, her girlfriends are supportive and her guy friends are protective, they say that “lacrosse is a family” and it is just that! –a tight knit crowd and that’s how it should be. Have fun this weekend and Happy Bday Ash. (PS: ya’ll can NEVER EVER let her do Karaoke). XOXOXOXO - Mom, Dad, Brooklyn, Kailyn, Marv & Oaks
