Preliminary hearings for Peter Khill begin By Jayson Koblun

HAMILTON – A preliminary hearing began Tuesday for a 27-year-old Glanbrook man charged with second-degree murder in connection to the death of 29-year-old Jon Styres of Ohsweken in February 2016. A publication ban prevents evidences presented in court to be printed until after the trial is complete. The accused, 27-yearold Peter Khill [pronounced Kay-Hill], was charged and placed into custody in the early morning of Feb, 4, 2016 but was released on bail shortly after. He was in Hamilton court Tuesday, March 21, 2017, for preliminary hearings that will take place for the rest of the week. Witnesses claimed Styres was in the process of stealing the accused's pickup truck from Khill’s driveway at 3 a.m. Styres was shot and pronounced

dead on the scene. There were a large number of friends, family members and supporters for both Khill and Styres in the gallery on Tuesday. Before the hearing began, Lindsay Hill, Styres’ girlfriend and mother of their two children, said she was “so nervous” of what the outcome of the oncoming trial may be. A preliminary hearing is a court proceeding that takes place before the

trial of a serious offence. Preliminary hearings are not available for most minor offences. The purpose of a preliminary hearing is for the judge to decide whether there is enough evidence against the person that a reasonable jury properly directed by the judge could convict. If there is not sufficient evidence, the accused will be discharged. Generally, that is the same as the case being dismissed.

Police chase ends in one arrested SIX NATIONS — Police arrested a 23 year old Six Nations man after a chase involving a stolen car Wednesday that evolved into an armed standoff. A 2013 Dodge Dart previously reported stolen was spotted travelling on Third Line Wednesday afternoon. Police attempted to

stop the vehicle but the driver fled. Police followed the vehicle to a Mohawk Road address. The driver ran into the house and locked himself inside. OPP were called in to assist Six Nations police and the area was blocked to traffic. Police said OPP Tactical Response Team

members entered the residence at 1am Thursday morning and found the suspect hiding in the attic. Police arrested 23 year old Forrest Whitlow of Ohsweken. No other people were present inside the home. Whitlow was held for a bail hearing.

The remarkable life and times of Deskaheh By Jim Windle

SIX NATIONS – In 1917, Levi General became hereditary chief of the Cayuga with the title "Deskaheh", meaning "more than eleven". He worked as a lumberjack, and a farmer. George P. Decker was a New York lawyer who, at an early age became fascinated with the Iroquois and its laws and practices through the writings of fellow attorney Lewis Henry Morgan. He became a student of Haudenosaunee history and a staunch defender of Indigenous Rights, especially among the upstate New York and Ohio tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy. "The Canadian government…is trying to imitate the ruthless imperialism of Congress in its treatment of American Indians,” Decker is quoted to have said. “Americans at one moment make wonderful phrases about the rights of small nations, and justice, and at the next totally ignore the wrongs done to small groups of Indians whose tribal existence is threatened. Some tribes allow their right to be invaded and soon intermarry and are dispersed and they have committed race suicide. But the Six Nations do not intend to do this." But it is his work, helping Chief Levi “Deskaheh” General in his search for justice for his people in the early 20th century that Decker is most noted for. After meeting Deskaheh at Six Nations and being brought up to speed on the plight of the “Red Man”, and especially that of the Six Nations in its search for recognized nationhood amongst the world’s nations. According to The New York Times, "…called at

the London office of the League [of Nations] to give notice of his intention to submit a complaint about, what he felt was, the 'subjugation by Canada, the Imperial Government having refused the Indians' plea for protection against this subjugation.'" General and Decker’s first trip to England was in 1921. In 1921, 44-yearold Deskaheh was not an especially impressive looking figure. He was short, thick and strong from years of farming and lumberjacking in Pennsylvania as a youngster. But when he wanted to make an impression, he was splendid in his traditional dress and attracted professional painters seeking his permission to be the subject of a portrait, which he did from time to time to help raise money to help sustain his stay in Europe. Two portraits of Deska-

heh were raffled in June of 1924, in Geneva and raised $1,000. Most of time he wore a standard business suit of European style, casting an almost humourous shadow when walking with Decker who was a much taller and bigger man of the two. A French Associated Press reporter’s description of Deskaheh states, "Unadorned with feathers, beads or moccasins, and wearing a sack suit and slouch hat, the big chief, although without tomahawk or war paint, is just as earnestly on the war path as his ancestors who fought the British red coats and French regulars in the American forests. "Standing at the main entrance of the Paris City Hall, where the League's Council meets, Deskaheh has been indefatigably button-holing the dele-

gates, some of whom have lent a receptive ear, while others hurried away…” When he gave interviews, he was measured in his words but powerful in his understated delivery. “My tribe sent 400 men to fight in the late war, 40 of whom were killed,” Deskaheh would tell the European press. “I will pursue this claim relentlessly until it is recognized.” Behind the scenes, however, Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King, Minister of the Interior (Indian Affairs), Duncan Campbell Scott and a young and ambitious Winston Churchill conspired to deny Deskaheh and Decker’s call for recognition as a “state” for the Iroquois on the world stage following the First World War. Their hopes were further dashed when he and Decker were denied a seat in the gallery to watch the proceeding of the Society of Nations in Geneva. Decker and Deskaheh left England bound for New York aboard the Titanic’s sister ship, the White Star Line’s Olympia. He was barred from entry into Canada Out of spite, Prime Minister King barred Deskaheh’s reentry into Canada forcing him to stay in Rochester with friend and Tuscarora Chief Clinton Rickard, who started the Indian Defense League shortly after Deskaheh’s death from complications from pleurisy. His last recorded message was made on March 10, 1925, from a local Rochester radio station. Part of that message shows the depth of his disappointment and frustration. "Over in Ottawa, they call that policy ‘Indian Advancement’,” he said. “Over in Washington, they call it ‘Assimilation’. We who would be the helpless vic-

tims say it is tyranny. If this must go on to the bitter end, we would rather that you come with your guns and poison gases and get rid of us that way. Do it openly and above board." Deskaheh died days later of his illness, stranded from his family who the Prime Minister would not allow to cross the border to visit and care for him. Levi “Deskaheh” General is buried at the Cayuga Longhouse in Sour Springs. It is through personal letters between Deskaheh and Decker and government officials in Canada and Europe between 1921 and 1924 that the toll on his life is exposed.

Many, including this write, consider Levi Deskaheh General, one of Six Nations greatest heroes despite not succeeding in his mission. Due to political and social biases of the day, Deskaheh and Decker failed in their mission, but gained great international support, spreading the culture and the great service of Six Nations to the British Crown. He and Decker’s presentation was never made in Geneva before the League of Nations, but has been printed and reprinted and used in courts of law since. More next week on the life and times of Deskaheh.

Courts refuse injunction against DAPL STANDING ROCK — A US Court has refused an emergency order from two Native American tribes that would prevent oil from flowing through the Dakota Access pipeline. The decision means oil could be flowing through the pipeline as early as today. Standing Rock and Cheyenne River have been in court legally trying to stop the pipeline. The Lakota nations say the pipeline could harm their water supply and their right to practice their religion, which relies on clean water.

AIAI to discuss environment this month SIX NATIONS — The Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians are gathering together this month in London for an Environmental Symposium to address some of the major issues facing their communities. Some of the talks scheduled for the table are Climate Change, Ontario’s Cap and Trade Action Plan, Water Issues and Nuclear Waste. AIAI’s Grand Chief Gordon Peters says coming together to identify key problems in the area is the first step towards carrying out the duty of taking care of the land.

National hunt for accused in child’s death ST. CATHERINES — Police are still seeking Justin Kuijer of St. Catherine. Kuijer is subject to a Canada wide warrant for the second degree murder of his seven year old stepson Nathan Dumas, and the attempted murder of an RBC bank employee. She is now in hospital in stable condition, according to police. Const. Phil Gavin said Kuijer has been on the run in his ex-girlfriend's van ever since the two grisly scenes unfolded on

Justin Kuijer. Friday. Initially police were seeing a first-degree murder charge in Nathan's death. Police did not explain why the charge was changed.

Kuijer fled the scene in what police describe as a dark grey van with a distinctive pink floral missing person's decal on the back window. Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for a van with the Ontario license plate BYTE 392. Kuijer was last seen wearing an orange hoodie under a brown leather coat, dark pants, a black toque, and boots. Police say he is considered armed and dangerous.

Basic income pilot project for province TORONTO — Ontario says they are moving forward with a pilot project to deliver a guaranteed basic income to provincial residents between the ages of 18-64. The test project will be a monthly payment to eligible families or individ-

uals to ensure people can meet their basic needs and support long term economic prosperity for the whole province. Over 35,000 people gave the government feedback on how the project should be run — including unique consul-

tations with the First Nations, urban indigenous, Metis and Inuit populations. Similar pilot projects have been launched in the Netherlands and Kenya. Ontario’s test project is set to launch this spring.

OPINION

Hollywood's race cards EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW Hollywood and the film industry have been telling lies about indigenous people for 100 years or so. The Wikipedia entry on Hollywood Indian says that these lies started in the 1800s, with racist literature written by James Fenimore Cooper of Last of the Mohicans fame—who by the way thought he was doing a great service to indigenous peoples. “Cooper simplified and polarized native characters and experiences. While portraying some of his native main characters as regal, he also portrayed them as the last of their kind and thus enforced the image of the 'vanishing Indian',” reads Wikipedia. Cooper didn’t leave any room for us to have a full range of emotion and depth. Now it’s roughly 300 years later and 150 million North Americans can’t even begin to imagine a fully indigenous person in film who struggles with existentialism or stuff that normal friends talk about on any sitcom. If you have seen Lorne Cardinal play Sergeant Davis Quinton on the Canadian TV show “Corner Gas” you may have noticed an indigenous character that doesn’t fall victim to the stereotypes. Sergeant Quinton is very safe, almost too safe. Maybe this character was written as a projection of how Canada wants us to be—cheerful, apolitical, and harmless. Much damage has been done to our collective image despite such good intentions. Other films tried to show more diversity. Dr. Jacquelyn Kilpatrick, who wrote the book Celluloid Indians in 1999, broke down these other films into three sub-groups of stereotype. Mentally Inferior Indian – It’s a tragic and ironic stereotype because we have always been intellectual and philosophical people with advanced principles. Our ancestors made pyramids in Central America for crying out loud. Look for bad English (How!) and exaggerated dirtiness in film. Sexualized Indian – Kilpatrick wrote that in Hollywood film, indigenous

people are depicted as “intensely sexual beings who are more ‘creature than human’, run around half-naked, and do little more than lusting…” Incidentally, Disney’s “Pocahontas” was based upon a Powhatan girl named Matoaka and she was only 11 years old when she supposedly “dated” John Smith. Matoaka was eventually abducted and taken to England as a captive. Super-spiritual Shaman – Yes we think the earth is important and are connected with nature as humans should be, but why is it so damn exotic to want to preserve the earth? Anyways, insert a mysterious and deeply religious INDIAN into a film like Wayne’s World and the audiences just love it. For all the reasons above, indigenous people have very little patience for concepts such as reverse-racism. White privilege, white fragility, white guilt—if those topics makes a person squirm, imagine if stories and legends were based upon them and for 300 years all society focused on only that one facet of their entire existence, forever. Horrible right? Well, we don’t play race cards because that’s not our way. Who invented the idea of race? It wasn’t us. Look to the white wizards of Craniology and Phrenology, they are the ones with that much creativity. As a matter of fact scientific racism has been kicking our butts for a few hundred years as well but that’s another editorial. There is only one race, the human race, but some ethnic groups must navigate through drastically different experiences as humans. Sometimes, when we are reminded of our common humanity it erases the specific history of our ancestors and minimizes the current colonial realities. Stereotypes are a roadblock to understanding and reconciliation. If Canadians could see us for who we really are—gracious hosts with incredible amounts of power and humour—we might be a better society for it.

Filming in Banff denied THE SIX LINE By Thohahoken Just weeks before filming was to begin, the Canadian government denied permission for Hollywood to shoot the movie Hard Powder in Rocky Mountain national parks in Banff, ATLA., the Lake Louise town site and ski hill, and the Columbia Icefields. Parks Canada, the federal agency responsible for issuing permits, said they had concerns about the film’s plot. Here’s the story. The Hollywood revenge-drama Hard Powder is about a bad-drug-gang-leader called ‘The Viking’ whose drugs kill the young son of Nels, a good-snow-plow-driving man. The Viking is feared but his money is loved. Nels is loved by the townsfolk who stay silent. It’s an old formula— Nels takes justice in his own hands to right the wrong. Played by Liam Neeson, Nels replaces Dirty Harry’s magnum .44 with a snow plow. According to Hollywood journal Variety Nels' desire for vengeance sparks a "turf war" in the snow. He’s after the Viking, described by Variety as a vegan who drives a black Tesla "a fastidious gangster who wears Tom Ford suits" and murders people. Variety reports that Hard Powder ends in a "final showdown that leaves almost no one unscathed." Variety says showbiz heavyweight StudioCanal financed Hard Powder for worldwide release in Britain, Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand, and North America. Studiocanal was left scratching its showbiz head over Park Canada’s refusal. Parks Canada listed eight deficiencies that the film’s producers say were addressed by the film-company. Parks Canada finally admitted that the film’s plot was the major concern. The Viking is a drug-lord located on an Indian Reserve played by Order of Can-

ada recipient Tom Jackson. Parks Canada is located practically down the hallway from the Department of Indian Affairs (DIA) in Hull, Quebec where everyone has ‘reconciliation’ on their lips these days. Parks Canada seems to have a censorship mandate from DIA to sanitize Indian Reserve life to the outside world. The unsaid message of truth and reconciliation: “keep the truth about reserve life quiet.” In other words, lie. In February Six Nations’ social service workers were presented with the truth about the threat of fentanyl in the territory. Health Services and New Directions told the truth. A gathering of mostly women heard that fentanyl’s deadly danger could now be added to the cocaine and heroin threat at Six Nations. They also watched “Fentanyl: the drug deadlier than heroin”, a documentary filmed in Alberta. The film showed the presence of fentanyl in the Blackfoot territory at Standoff, ALTA. The film shows how policing focuses on users and the small-time operators selling the drugs. The deadly drug industry is widespread. Women across in many Rotinohnsyonni territories agree that drugs are the main threat to our society. In meetings on both sides of the medicine line in Canada and the U.S., our women cite prescription drugs, date-rape drugs, and the market for marijuana remain the source of our troubles. Drugs like cocaine, heroin, and now fentanyl are destroying our future—the women say. Crime is rooted in the need to buy drugs. Ironically, our women already knew the reality portrayed in Hard Powder. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks Wide chasm between individualism and laws of Creation By Rachel A. Snow Many misunderstandings exist for First Nation people about “aboriginal law”. Canadian mainstream has created “aboriginal law”. This is basically mainstream (white man’s) law with aboriginals as the plaintiffs, arguing for rights or title. This is not to be confused with indigenous law or inherent First Nation legal traditions, which are the ways in which the original people have always governed themselves. Indigenous law is becoming a new topic of interest in reconciliation talks. Several attempts are being made to take what is inherently indigenous or specific to a First Nation and put these teachings or values into a mainstream box or framework. Is this a good exercise? People will justify this exercise saying acknowledgement for the original traditions of the First people are necessary to combat the negative statistics in the Canadian justice system. However, it seems that this exercise may do more harm than good. Mainstream Canada needs to understand what First Nations actu-

ally think and practise. This thinking that comes from within the ceremonies, languages and practices, is irreplaceable. The laws of Creator or the laws of Creation that were given specifically to the original people cannot be watered down to fit into a mainstream box. For more than 500 years, the original people have tried to share their teachings, vision and belief system with the settler colonials. Colonizers are willfully blind to the teachings of the First Peoples. Settler colonials came to North America seeking a new way of life with land and a governance system that allowed for one man (woman), one voice. They came to a continent that had developed a highly complex system where are all voices were heard and carried the same weight. However, these voices all held that their community, their people, and their responsibilities would always be considered with the highest standing. The survival of the people was greater than any one person’s individual “rights”. So there are two opposing thought processes happening. There is the individualistic thinking

brought by the settler colonizers versus the communal thinking of the original people. This has been a 500-year old problem. Reconciliation, the meeting of two ways of thinking cannot happen if mainstream continues to believe in the supremacy of their system. The original people, as nations, believe in the supremacy of Creator and Creation. The original people are part of their worldview. They are not lord and master over it. The original people do not have dominion over their relations. With this strong sense of responsibility, comes the notion of stewardship and sustaining life from one generation to the next. The original people of this land maintain their practices to ensure that this world will continue. How can this thinking that puts Creator and all Creation at the forefront be trivialized to fit into mainstream boxes? “Aboriginal law” talks about First Nation “integral practices” then seeks to define them in ways that are acceptable to “them” or fit in “their’ box. Delgamuukw was the first “aboriginal law” case that dealt with land title after the Canadian

Filming in Banff denied continued Faced with the grim-reality that our own people may be exploiting the drug trade there is an uneasy silence about what to do. Surely someone must be fighting the drug war. Drug related deaths and crime statistics show the effects of the drug trade. Yet, Indian Reserves have an immunity from prosecution and the suppliers go unpunished. It’s the best kept secret that is not really a secret. How did our people deal with criminal be-

haviour in the past? How did we maintain order and stability in our territories? Who kept the peace. In the last 100-years the older tradition for traditional policing was replaced with provincial police and the RCMP. Stories told by old timers talk about a process called “grabbing”. The older word for policing was shakotiyenas, which means “they grab them”. “Once in a while you’d see a man running na-

ked through the field,” recalls Mohawk Worker, the late-Sylvanus General. “We knew that man was grabbed.” According to elders the men would hear stories from the women about men who were creating hardships. These stories included men who committed physically abusive and violent acts against women and children. The anguish was heard. The response was clear. The shakotiyenas would grab the offender. The

Constitution was implemented. Many original people were happy when the courts accepted “oral evidence” into the courtroom to make this land determination. What is not stated is that the Gitskan and Wet’suwet’en nations had a system of land tenure—that is they had a land title system that mainstream law could readily relate to; this is why “oral evidence”, was allowed into the courtroom. If the original laws and practices of the First People do not fit into this box, what then? Many First Nations go to the courts seeking decisions to fairly enforce treaties or understood agreements, but the courts decide what “fairness” looks like. It is to be fair to the First People or is it to be fair within the framework that Canadian people and their institutions deem is fair? There still exists a wide chasm of what is fair for the original people versus what is fair for mainstream. If one looks at current legislation, policy or court decisions, the original people are not “winning”. They are not winning because there is still high poverty, racist funding, funding caps

and high social ills for the original people. They are not winning because to achieve any kind of acknowledgment or “justice”, the original people give up jurisdiction to allow the executive, legislative or judicial arm of mainstream to decide how to remedy the very wrongs they have created. Even when mainstream courts or their institutions like tribunals understand that there are systemic limitations unfairly setting up the original people for failure, these decisions are not upheld. In the child welfare case, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has found that the Canadian government racially discriminates against First Nations children. The Tribunal has had to issue two compliance orders to the Government of Canada in this case. The ruling has fallen on deaf ears. Cindy Blackstock, and the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society have been in a 10year battle to have equal funding for First Nations children on and off reserve. It seems that using the processes of justice of this Canadian system do not guarantee “wins” or change that will alter

the abhorrent statistics of First Nation children being put into care in Canada. If mainstream Canada does not understand the thinking or the responsibilities of the original people, will their laws or policies ever accommodate them? Is there a danger of distorting or pre-emptively sharing Creator’s laws through the original people when mainstream has no understanding? So back to the original premise, is putting the First People’s indigenous legal traditions into a mainstream framework a worthwhile exercise? Emphatically, it is not. Until there is understanding of the worldview and philosophy, there can be no positive outcome for the original people. The original people were given languages, ceremonies, creation stories, spiritual practices and traditional knowledge that are to be used with specific adherence to the laws of Creation. In a society that values money over spirituality, the individual over the community and the voices of the highest positions over the voices of all, there is no justice or reconciliation.

man would be blindfolded and taken by horseback or car to a remote location. Carefully disguised, the shakotiyenas would tie the man to a tree. Using red-willow whips, the man would be flogged. He would be told about his acts. “You have a lot to think about if you make it home,” the man would be told by the shakotiyenas. The man would be abandoned but still tied and blindfolded. “That’s why you’d see him running home naked.” The shakotiyenas were

led by men identified in the Great Law (Kayeneresherakowa) as Tehatirontenanohnha (They Watch The Log). The shakotiyenas act was performed by men who were also called Oyenkwe’ohntohn (Tobacco Hanging). These warriors were replaced in the 1900s by the RCMP and provincial police. The drama Hard Powder poses an older conception of Indigenous justice. Deemed negatively as “vigilante justice”, Nels no doubt uses his snow plow to push The Viking

in his black Tesla over the cliff. Parks Canada didn’t want it to be one of their cliffs but also hid the reality faced in many Indigenous territories. The Government of Canada can kid its citizens that everything is turning to sunshine and roses in many of our territories. But we know. We live with The Vikings of the Indigenous world every day. Listen to the women not Parks Canada. Thohahoken Michael Doxtater is an educator from Six Nations.

Indspire to launch youth laureate cross Canada Tour By TRT Staff OHSWEKEN – To celebrate Canada’s 150th Anniversary of Confederation, the Government of Canada established the Canada 150 Fund— selecting a few Canadian signature projects from thousands of applicants to participate in celebrations across Canada and to showcase events that are unique to the selected organizations. Indspire was selected for its focus on supporting Indigenous education. Indspire received funding to showcase their Indspire Youth Laureates Cross Canada Tour, which will feature highly-interactive, youth-led panel discussions in seven Canadian cities – Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Yellowknife. “Our vision is to enrich Canada through Indigenous education and by inspiring achievement,” Roberta Jamieson, President and CEO, Indspire. The objective of the Tour is to encourage dialogue between Indspire Youth Award recipients and local Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, educators, parents and community members to reinforce the importance of education and to highlight how Indspire can help students achieve their dreams for a brighter future.

At each event, the Youth Laureate panelists will share motivational stories from their childhood, education, life challenges and post-graduate success. They will share stories on how Indspire supported them and encouraged them to dream big, move forward and create a better life. After the storytelling, the Q&A will create a highly interactive panel session geared towards Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth. The first tour will launch at the Indspire Soaring Career Conference to be held in Ottawa on March 23, 2017 at The Westin Hotel. Following the launch, there will be one tour held on a university campus each month (except for July and August) until November 2017, with the closing celebration to follow in conjunction with the Indspire National Gathering at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth in Montreal. In addition to funding from the Government of Canada, TransCanada Corporation is supporting the Tour as part of a series of initiatives in celebration of Canada’s 150th. “As a company who has operated in Canada for over 65 years, we are proud to give back via organizations like Indspire who share our sense of purpose around creat-

Roberta Jamieson. ing lasting and positive impacts in communities through education,” says Kristine Delkus, Executive Vice President, Stakeholder Relations and General Counsel, TransCanada. “As a longtime partner with Indspire, we feel our support of the Tour is a natural addition to our Canada 150 gift and we are very excited to play a small role in celebrating these incredible youths who have achieved so much.” Additional support is being provided by Shaw Communications Inc. as Youth Laureate Sponsor, helping provide a platform for the Youth Laureates to share their inspiring personal experiences, while motivating and engaging the next generation of youth in a conversation about the importance of education. Each event will start

with a VIP reception for host sponsors, local government officials, school faculty, media, laureates, board members, the MC and Indspire staff and will allow for interview and photo opportunities prior to the panel discussion. Panel discussions will be approximately two hours long and will include a Q&A session. Indspire is an Indigenous-led registered charity that invests in the education of Indigenous people for the long term benefit of these individuals, their families and communities, and Canada. With the support of its funding partners, Indspire disburses financial awards, delivers programs, and shares resources with the goal of closing the gap in Indigenous education. Through the K-12 Institute, it provides resources to educators, communities, and other stakeholders who are committed to improving kindergarten to grade 12 success for Indigenous youth. In 2015-16, Indspire has provided $12.2 million through 3,792 bursaries and scholarships to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students. Each year, the organization presents the Indspire Awards, a celebration of the successes achieved by Indigenous people that is broadcast nationally.

Accused has no pattern of brutality: doctor The Canadian Press PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — A psychologist says a man who beat, raped and then set a woman on fire is not necessarily at high risk to reoffend. Dr. Terry Nicholaichuk testified Monday at a hearing to determine whether Leslie Ivan Roderick Black should be declared a dangerous offender. Black pleaded guilty to attempted murder of Marlene Bird, who was burned so badly that doctors had to amputate both her legs after the June 2014 attack in Prince Albert, Sask. If Black is designated a dangerous offender, he will face an indeterminate prison sentence. Nicholaichuk, who was testifying for the defence, described Black as cognitively compromised, but not emotion-

Leslie Ivan Roderick Black. less or sociopathic. He says Black requires intensive, long-term therapy, but does not have an ongoing ``pattern of brutality'' which makes an offender a high risk to the public. Nicholaichuk noted there is no peer-reviewed evidence to suggest a relationship between the level of harm done to a victim and rates of reoffending, but did say those who have shown an pattern of violence are highly likely to commit more vi-

olent crimes. ``Mr. Black has many serious challenges to overcome if he is to survive in the community,'' Nicholaichuk said. ``He wants to be more successful but frankly he doesn't have the skills.'' If Black remains in prison, Nicholaichuk said, his treatment options will be severely limited. Nicholaichuk recommended Black serve his sentence in a British Columbia institution where he will be distanced from media coverage and have access to indigenous cultural programming. A psychiatrist testified last week that officials can't presume to understand Black and what he's capable of given what he did to Bird even though he had no history of violence.

PROUD TO BE..

SUBSTANCE FREE

Sympathizing with indigenous addiction By Chezney Martin Many indigenous people attribute substance abuse directly to the child welfare experience, CAS system and the aftermath of Residential Schools. Those that don't, tend to have parents that were directly affected by one or more of the above factors, and passed the trauma and addiction to their children. Now, as a non-indigenous person you can easily read those two sentences and think “wow, if they have so many problems why do they think drugs are gonna fix them?” You see, the cultural ceremonies indigenous people had to help heal our “problems” were once illegal or have since been lost. To top it off, everything about indigenous culture was either forcibly eradicated using fear, abuse and shame in residential schools, or the knowledge was simply not given to indigenous children who were raised by non-indigenous families due to the CAS system. I suppose you would think that we'd be “over it” by now though right? Wrong. It is nearly impossible to put the value of culture, language and inherited knowledge into words. But, if there were a way for indigenous people to explain why the taking of who we are was so devastating, you would probably show more compassion than judgment. The problem is that the preciousness of something that can only be

felt by the people that are linked to it; is difficult by far to comprehend for someone on the outside. For me to sit here and explain what it feels like to speak the language, know the ceremonies, know the history, stories, dances and belief systems would take hours. But, I can tell you what it would feel like without it. I would lose my sense of roots; I would lose my sense of self and identity. I would lose my sense of self-worth, I would forget my purpose and I would feel like I don't belong anywhere in particular. In all honesty, I don't know what kind of person I would be without traditional knowledge and I don't think I'd be able to handle having institutions like residential schools trying to take it from me. Let's not forget that many indigenous people have been heavily affected by intergenerational trauma, abuse, lack of physical affection and care that stems from those culture-eradicating institutions. And many indigenous people didn't even get a chance to learn traditional knowledge, period. So, when addiction can be looked at as a way some indigenous people escape from a harsh reality; it is much easier to understand and sympathize with. Especially when our systems of familial healing and coping were almost completely destroyed. Let us not forget that many of the drugs being circulated today were once the medicinal “cure-everything” opiates of the 1800s.

IDENTIFYING ADDICTION

Drug and alcohol addiction typically starts off as recreational, whereby the individual drinks and/or uses in a social setting. The disease is progressive, which means that as time passes, he or she will exhibit a higher tolerance, frequently engage in the behaviour and experience intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Below is a list of the common signs of addiction. If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use disorder, get help now. Physical Signs of Addiction Over-active or under-active (depending on the drug) Repetitive speech patterns Dilated pupils, red eyes Excessive sniffing and runny nose (not attributable to a cold) Looking pale or undernourished Clothes do not fit the same Weight loss Change in eating habits Unusual odors or body odor due to lack of personal hygiene Behavioral Signs of Addiction Missing work/school Work/school problems Missing important engagements Isolating/secretive about activities Disrupted sleep patterns Legal problems

Relationship/marital problems Financial problems (e.g. always needing money) Conversations dominated by using or drug/alcohol related topics Emotional Signs of Addiction Irritability/Argumentative Defensiveness Inability to deal with stress Loss of interest in activities/people that used to be part of their lives Obnoxious Silly Confused easily Denial Rationalizing – Offering alibis, excuses, justifications, or other explanations for their using behavior Minimization – Admitting superficially to the problem but not admitting to the seriousness or full scope of the behavior or consequences Blaming – Placing the blame for the behavior on someone else or some event Diversion – Changing the subject to avoid discussing the topic Three Cs of Addiction Loss of control over the amount and frequency of use Craving and compulsive using Continued use in the face of adverse consequences Source: MARR Addiction Treatment Centre

Could driving a vehicle high be just as bad as driving drunk Does driving high increase the risk of being in a crash? Your driving ability can be impaired by pot and this impairment can have real consequences for you and your passengers. If you drive high, you have a greater chance of being injured or injuring someone else.

before driving.

How does the strength of the pot affect driving? Like alcohol, the effect of pot on driving depends on the amount and strength of the pot a person has smoked. This can make a big difference to a person’s driving.

If you mix pot and alcohol, what do you get? When you drink alcohol and smoke pot together the effect is different than when you use them separately. Mixing pot and alcohol can have a big effect on your driving and it can put you and your passengers at serious risk.

How long is a driver affected after they smoke pot? The effects of pot on driving skills are strongest during the first hour after smoking. After that the effects decrease quite rapidly. The effects will increase if a person smokes up for a longer time, has more to smoke and smokes strong pot

Does ‘burnout’ affect driving? Some people feel very tired a few hours after getting high. This is called ‘burnout’. A driver who is tired is at greater risk of being involved in a crash.

When it comes to driving, how does pot compare to alcohol? Alcohol is still the number one danger for drivers, their passengers or anyone else in the community. Studies show that alcohol impairs driving differently and usually more

severely than pot, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe to drive high. If a drug is used as a medicine, can it affect driving? Pot is sometimes used as a medicine. That doesn’t mean it’s safe to

smoke pot and drive. Pot isn’t the only drug that affects driving. Many legal drugs come with warnings not to drive for a certain amount of time after taking them for this reason.

Addictive behaviors: more than just narcotics and alcohol By TRT staff SIX NATIONS – When people think about addiction, they think of substances that are most commonly abused, such as narcotics, alcohol or gambling—substances designed to alter the mind that may lead to a dependency. Yet there are several seemingly harmless items and activities that may prove to be just as addictive and harmful to an individual and those around them. Here are a few examples: The Internet – Someone with an addiction to social networking could be defined as someone who has a compulsion to use social media excessively—constantly checking their latest post to see how many ‘likes’ it has received, often checking Facebook status updates, having to always be in-the-know of what their friends on social media sites are up to, or staying up-to-date on the latest viral Internet jokes or videos. It’s difficult to know when interest in an activity becomes a dependency or addiction, but whether or not Internet Addiction Disorder is real enough to be diagnosed by a doctor, it can still

have an effect on day-to-day activities if relied on excessively and more portions of your day are spent wandering social media sites than dealing with your responsibilities. Eating ‘too’ healthy – Karin Kratina, PhD, RD, LD/N, says on nationaleatingdisorders.org, those who have an “unhealthy obsession” with otherwise healthy eating may be suffering from orthorexia nervosa—a term which means “fixation on righteous eating”. Orthorexia starts out as an innocent attempt to eat more healthfully, but orthorexics become fixated on food quality and purity. They become consumed with what and how much to eat, and how to deal with “slip-ups”. An iron-clad will is needed to maintain this rigid eating style. Eventually food choices become so restrictive, in both variety and calories, that health suffers—an ironic twist for a person so completely dedicated to healthy eating. Eventually, the obsession with healthy eating can crowd out other activities and interests, impair relationships, and become physically dangerous. Water – You might think it would be

nearly impossible to be addicted to something so necessary to our survival, but it turns out people can be addicted to water. It's called psychogenic polydipsia, and is often caused by a sense of dry mouth that can be triggered as a side effect from psychoses. Although it might not seem theoretically dangerous, drinking too much water can cause hyponatremia, or water intoxication, a flush out of salt in the blood that can lead to death in extreme cases. Sex – The website crehab.org says that an addiction to sex can be very complex and confusing. Most people afflicted don’t even find pleasure in sex, but instead feel shame and remorse. This is a very destructive addiction that can ruin lives and rip families apart. It is a widely misunderstood dysfunction that might be triggered by a rape or sexual abuse in early life, an underlying mental disorder or in some cases, no determining factor at all. Those that do struggle with sex addiction can become so fixated that sex becomes the only thing they can think about. Video Games – “While many addic-

tions are considered primarily physically-based, video game addictions are considered a psychological addiction,” says enjoylife.co. It has been found that the most addictive type of video games are games in which players create a separate identity within the game, and are allowed to live their gaming life and interact with others as that character. Unlike many other addictions, which affect both men and women alike, video game addictions have been found to affect primarily men. Stanford University’s School of Medicine conducted a study in which they found that when playing video games, the portion of the brain that generates feelings of reward is more stimulated in men than in women. There are many activities, substances, and treatments that are healthy and medically prescribed in moderate usages and dosages. But all of them, including narcotics, video games, the Internet, and more, can be damaging and debilitating in excessive amounts. Watch out for the signs of an addiction in your own life and those that surround you.

There is no person walking the face of the earth that demonstrates more courage, dignity, honesty, and integrity on a daily basis than an addict in recovery. — Unknown

Baptist church gets new name to honour Mi'kmaq The Canadian Press HALIFAX — An African Baptist church that dates back to the early 1800s is changing its name to scrub it of any reference to Halifax's controversial founder, who some say was guilty of a type of genocide against the Mi'kmaq. Rev. Rhonda Britton of the Cornwallis Street Baptist Church said Monday that a motion was accepted at a recent meeting to remove any connection to Edward Cornwallis, who founded Halifax in 1749 and soon after issued a bounty on the scalps of Mi'kmaq men, women and children. Britton said church

members accepted the motion because the name perpetuates the harm done to the Mi'kmaq, who have long called for removal of municipal tributes to Cornwallis because of actions some have deemed to be genocidal. ``I was really pleased that folks seemed to grab hold of that and be excited by it,'' she said. ``The elders who have been here the longest are in favour the change. People recognize that you can't change the history, but you don't have to perpetuate the harm.'' Daniel Paul, a Mi'kmaq elder and author who has led the movement to remove Cornwallis's name from city monuments,

said he was pleased with the church's decision. He had met with Britton soon after she took on the ministry in 2007 and has been a vocal advocate for the name change. Paul said he's not worried that history will be forgotten or sanitized if Cornwallis's name is removed, adding that he will continue to be remembered for founding the city but doesn't need to be ``celebrated'' on buildings, parks or streets. ``It will not be forgotten as long as I'm alive,'' he said with a laugh, adding that he successfully encouraged a developer in the city not to name an office building after Cornwallis.

ters on the statue. A plaque on the statue notes that Cornwallis founded the city in the 1700s, but doesn't mention a scalping proclamation he issued against the Mi'kmaq, which promised ``a reward of ten Guineas for every Indian Micmac taken or killed, to be paid upon producing such Savage taken or his scalp.'' Britton said the new name will be decided after a committee evaluates suggestions put forward by members of the church and they are put to a vote. It will likely be unveiled at a meeting in the summer of 2018 to coincide with renoCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The topic has not returned to council for further consideration,'' Lucas Wide said in the email.

``I would like to see this province stop honouring the man as a public hero. He's part of the history of Nova Scotia — you can't change that and he should not be removed from history books — but I don't think this man should be held up as a heroic figure.'' Halifax council rejected a bid last year to discuss updating municipal landmarks bearing Cornwallis's name despite a simmering controversy over his violent approach to dealing with aboriginals. The motion was brought forward by Coun. Wayne Mason and included letters from the Mi'kmaq Native Friendship Centre and the Cornwallis Street Baptist

Church change continued vations at the church, which has about 260 active members. Paul said the move unites two groups that have suffered discrimination. ``Here's a church named after a man who attempted to exterminate another race of people of colour,'' he said.

``It shows a coming together of the Mi'kmaq and the black community to work together to get something done that's positive. Both of us have suffered racial discrimination for a long, long period of time so it's nice to see us begin to see a meeting of minds on a certain subject.''

Dakota Access could flow oil this week STANDING ROCK — Energy Transfer Partners says the Dakota Access pipeline is on track to start moving oil this week. In a court filing Monday, ETP says they have been victims to coordinated physical attacks along the line.

The oil company claims those attacks pose threats to life, physical safety and the environment. The Cheyenne River and Standing Rock tribes continue to fight the pipelines operation in court.

BRIEFS By Gary Farmer

Twitter’s latest live sports play is—lacrosse? The National Lacrosse League (NLL), which bills itself as the largest men’s professional indoor lacrosse league in North America, has struck a two-year deal with Twitter under which the social media service will become its exclusive live-streaming partner. No offence to lacrosse fans, but the NLL is a very niche play—and for Twitter, that’s the point. The company sees an opportunity to carry less-popular sports: note that the NLL (with 38,600 Twitter followers) doesn’t have a national TV broadcast deal, so Twitter wants to lure passionate fans to its platform as the only way to watch the action live. Under the pact, Twitter will distribute a free live broadcast of one NLL game weekly (starting March 17), as well as playoff and Champion’s Cup games and highlights, on its platform for the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Games will also be simulcast on NLLTV.com, the league’s recently launched subscription-video site. Twitter users in the U.S. and Canada will be able to stream the NLL games at NLL.twitter.com and via @NLL on computers, tablets and mobile devices. The league, founded in 1986, comprises nine franchises across the U.S. and Canada: Buffalo Bandits, Calgary Roughnecks, Colorado Mammoth, Georgia Swarm, New England Black Wolves, Rochester Knighthawks, Saskatchewan Rush, Toronto Rock and Vancouver Stealth. Award-winning Canadian indigenous performer and playwright, Cliff Cardinal, and Native Earth Performing Arts took the critically-acclaimed one-man show, Huff, to Sydney, Australia this past January. The piece follows Wind, a First Nation’s boy who escapes his own painful reality by sniffing solvent. Chatting to us from the theatre home of Canada’s VideoCabaret in Toronto—where he is currently writer-in-residence—Cardinal gave us a sneak peek into the world of Huff. “Huffing means to abuse solvents. To sniff gasoline or glue. To get fucked up. The kids in this piece are huffing as a way to escape their reality, so that’s where the title comes from”, said Cardinal. “It’s a taboo subculture that really intrigued me. But I didn’t do the play to call attention to a social issue. I don’t have all the answers. But it’s a subculture that does have relevance for many people. Substance abuse is a way out of our despair; an attack on hopelessness.” With his signature biting humour and raw, vivid imagery, Cardinal expertly portrays more than a dozen characters in his captivating solo performance. “I feel a responsibility to say it how I see it. To tell the story as truthfully as possible. But my only agenda is that people should be more kind to one another.” What's next? Huff heads to London, England this June. Finally back here on the rez, with patron traffic increased dramatically—our own Six Nations Public Library (www.snpl.ca) that opened its doors in 1966 is quietly celebrating its 51st anniversary this month. It is still the only First Nation’s library with an independent governing board. The library board is diligently working on a major capital campaign for a new library, which will be housed in the Six Nations Archival Repository & Public Library building (SNARPL) Last year the board of directors launched a new community plan in the library’s efforts to build a new 13,000 square foot structure in the village core of Ohsweken. You may donate by mail or online through the library’s PayPal. For larger donations SNPL’s sister organization, the Friends of the Six Nations Public Library Foundation, can offer official tax receipts. Six Nations Public Library, P.O.

Senator refuses calls to resign OTTAWA — Conservative Senator Lynn Beyak says she will not resign or step away from the aboriginal peoples commission after a public outcry following her comments on residential schools. Conservative Lynn Beyak made the comments last week in the upper chamber, saying that the government-funded, church-operated schools where indigenous children endured widespread sexual and physical abuse were not all bad. The Senate Committee on Aboriginal People’s chairwoman Lillian Eva Dyck says her office has been inundated with phone calls and emails asking her to remove Beyak from the committee. In a statement Thursday, Dyck says Beyak’s comments may have tarnished the committee’s reputation and that her opinions may negatively impact the future work of the committee. Beyak’s office said in a statement the Senators words were taken “out of context” - and says Beyak claims the media backlash is “fake news”.

WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government is moving to set restrictions on marijuana similar to those on alcohol. Proposed legislation would list marijuana as an intoxicant and ban people from consuming it in a vehicle. Police would also have the right to suspend a driver’s licence for 24 hours _ similar to an alcohol provision _ if they thought a person was under the influence of pot.

HEalthy Roots Challenge kick off event feeds hundreds at community hall

HEALTHY ROOTS - People came out from near and far to have a great meal and hear all about the Healthy Roots Community Challenge Monday at the Six Nations Community Hall. This was the ﬁrst event for the Spring 2017 Healthy Roots campaign. Over 200 guests were treated to a wonderful dinner catered by Family Traditions. Several people shared this was the best Healthy Roots presentation so far. Chef Cher General served a traditional white corn mush wrapped in corn husks and served tamale-style with shredded venison bathed in maple syrup. Along the side was a vegetable medley of kidney beans, yellow zucchini, sumac, mushrooms, wild celery and wild garlic greens. A Three Sisters Succotash featured 3 different squashes, pumpkin, white and yellow corn, yellow and green beans, blue potato, sweet potato, cranberries, walnuts, and dandelion greens tossed in

sunﬂower butter and maple syrup. A Wild Rice Soup got rave reviews and there was nothing left of her special dessert offering. General said it was “white popcorn, mixed berries and maple syrup topped with crushed maple sugar. To drink Family Traditions served three iced teas; corn, lavender with wild blueberries and a white pine tea. That corn tea is available on the territory at Everything Corn Husk in the Village Plaza. Guests took to social media after the event to commend General on her meal planned. “It was delicious! Everything was good and tasty and very ﬁlling. I especially loved the chips! Awesome job.” Venison was supplied for the dinner by donation by Tsadehe Thomas. The Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation also supplied a generous supply of maple syrup for all guests as a take home gift for those in attendance.

Indigenous Bolivians have some of the healthiest hearts LONDON — Deep in the Bolivian Amazon lives a group of indigenous people who spend their days hunting and farming. Researchers say this may be partly why they have some of the healthiest hearts on the planet. The Tsimane, a society of hunter-gatherers, have the lowest-ever recorded levels of clogged arteries among any population studied, new research found. Scientists say the ﬁnding points to the importance of reducing risk factors for heart disease: The Tsimane are physically active — exercising for about four to seven hours every day — and their diet is low in fat and sugar. They also don't smoke or drink often. ``The average middle-aged Tsimane has arteries that are about 28 years younger than those of Westerners,'' said Dr. Randall Thompson, a cardiologist at St. Luke's Health System in Kansas City, Missouri, who helped lead the new work. The study was published online Friday in the journal Lancet and presented at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology. Thompson and colleagues teamed up with anthropologists who have been tracking the Tsimane for years for glimpses into their health. The Tsimane, a group of about 16,000 people who live along a tributary of the Amazon, are one of the best-studied indigenous groups in the world. The 705 participants in the study spent a day paddling in their canoes and then hopped a six-hour

Jeep ride to the nearest city so doctors could take computer scans of their hearts and measure their weight, heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. In exchange for their time, the Tsimane were given small gifts including thread and yarn.

possible to match the Tsimane's healthy habits. It's impractical to return to being hunter-gatherers, but if people ``can stop smoking and get a half hour of exercise every day that leaves you breathless, that will be a big help,'' said Dr. Joep Perk, a

A look at the facts Over 700 Tsimane adults over 40 years old from 85 villages were studied for one year from 2014 to 2015. CT scans showed members had low blood pressure, low cholesterol, and low blood glucose. Researchers concluded adult Tsimane people up to age 75 had no risk of heart disease. Just 3% were identified as high risk.

The Tsimane's health results were then compared to a sample of more than 6,800 Americans. Scientists concluded Americans were ﬁve times likelier to have heart disease than the Tsimane. Almost nine in ten Tsimane had no risk of heart disease. Lifestyle probably plays a bigger role than genetics in avoiding heart disease, Thompson said. He noted that as the Tsimane are gradually introduced to processed foods and motorized canoes, their cholesterol levels have slowly increased. Other experts said it may be

cardiologist at Linnaeus University in Sweden, who was not part of the research. ``There's a tendency to blame your genes for heart problems and what this study shows us is that you can't blame your parents, just your lifestyle.''

Researchers say those results are from Tsimane’s high activity level and a plant based diet. The Tismane plant-rich diet, which is 72 percent carbohydrates, includes non processed foods such as rice, corn, nuts, and fruits. Their diet is about 14 percent protein, coming from animal meat. Smoking is also rare in these villages.

Caledonia Corvairs` Captain Brandon Lindberg will be leading the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs into the Conference Finals this week. Schedule not fixed by press time. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE By Jim Windle There was no sign of rust on the blades of the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs after sitting out the first round of the GOJHL Jr. B playoffs, when they opened their post season against the Ancaster Avalanche last week. The Corvairs quickly swept the Avalanche, four games straight, and now will wait for the outcome of the series between the St. Catharines Falcons and the Niagara Falls Canucks. St. Kitts appears to be the favourite to sweep that series. If so, that will set up another post season clash between two teams who

have done many playoff battles before and do not like each other at all. “RIZZ” Rather than looking dull after the lay-off, the Corvairs were sharp, quick and ready, taking Ancaster down 7-2 in Game No. 1, 7-1 in Game No. 2, 4-1 in Game No. 3, and 3-1 at the Morgan Firestone Arena, Sunday. The Avalanche had their collective backs to the wall and left nothing in the tank, but the Corvairs had a huge wave of momentum on their side and a more complete bench and the inevitable happened. Eddie Schultz scored the only goal of the first

period on a Caledonia powerplay, and Adam Craievich made it 2-0 after two periods. Ancaster got on the score sheet halfway into the third period to pump some life into the Avalanche. But fate had already determined the outcome and Schultz closed the game with his second of the night, into an empty net. In other series, vying for a berth in the Conference Championships, the Waterloo Siskins have an edge over Listowel Cyclones, the Kitchener Dutchmen and Elmira Sugar Kings battle, the LaSalle Vipers are up against Leamington Fly-

ers, and the Chatham Maroons are matched with the London Nationals.

A recent addition to the Corvairs lineup, Eddie Schultz came from the Peterborough Petes of the OHA before trade deadline. Shultz opened and closed Game No. 4, as the Corvairs eliminated the Ancaster Avalanche. The schedule for the next round and their opponent was not determined by press-time. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

ANAHEIM – The Anaheim Ducks are four points out of first place in the division after weekend wins over Buffalo and San Jose. The Ducks took a point in Friday night’s shootout loss to the Sabres, a game in which Six Nations Brandon Montour assisted on one and scored on the shootout. Then, Saturday night, the Ducks were up against the first place Sharks in an important game as Anaheim strives to overtake the Sharks for first place as the playoff season draws near. In any one goal game, chances missed and chances saved are all the more important and although Montour did not show up on the score sheet, he definitely saved a goal in tight on his goaltender, Montour deflected a shot that was headed for an open part of Jonathan Bernier’s cage, out of harm’s way. Montour assisted on Anaheim’s first goal and scored his first shoot out goal, Friday night against the Buffalo Sabres in Anaheim. The Buffalo Sabres ultimately won 2-1 by winning the shoot-out, but Montour had a big night and look comfortable with his NHL surroundings all game. The fact Montour was asked to take a shot to determine the game after a 1-1 regular time tie, shows the confidence the Ducks have in their young blue liner. Montour set up the first goal of the game from

Arena Lacrosse League weekly wrap up By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Powered by nine point performances by Quinn Powless and Luke Laszkiewicz, the Six Nations Snipers returned from Peterborough with a 18-7 win over the Timbermen, Sunday afternoon. It was an “early to bed, early to rise” situation for the Snipers following their 12-11 overtime win Saturday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA) to get to Peterborough for a 1 p.m. start, Sunday. Layne Smith scored three goals and added two assists while Torrey VanEvery scored three and assisted on one Sunday afternoon. Smith scored two and assisted on one on Saturday for a two-game total of five goals and three assists. “Any time you play Six Nations, at any level, their talent pool is so deep even if they have guys who can’t show up they just pick up somebody

ways a tough game.” Later that evening the Oshawa Outlaws and the Toronto Monarchs spent an hour getting to a 12-12 tie game resulting in a little overtime. One minute and 13 seconds into the

Randy Staats opened the scoring 29 seconds into the game and Johnny Powless closed with a powerplay goal with 30 seconds remaining in the game. In between, Powless led the Swarm with three goals and four assists. Staats scored two and assisted on three while Miles Thompson scored four and assisted on one, and Lyle Thompson scored one and assisted on four. The New England Black Wolves held off a late game surge by the Rochester Knighthawks Friday night to win 12-11 at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Even the return of Sid Smith to the backline of the K-hawks could not keep the Black Wolves away from Evan Kirk’s crease all night as the teams traded goals throughout with the game winner scored by New England’s Kevin Buchanan.

This coming Saturday, March 25th, Peterborough will be in Toronto, the Six Nations Snipers host the Outlaws at 4 p.m., at the ILA, and the Paris RiverWolves will welcome the St. Catharines ShockWave at the Syl Apps Arena in Paris at 8 p.m. Layne Smith leads the league with 27 goals at this point in the season, while Snipers’ Chase Martin is in second place among league goalies in “goals against average”, “save percentage”, and “wins”.

Celebration of youth hockey better every year By Jim Windle MISSISSAUGA – The very first ‘lil NHL tournament was held during the Christmas break of 1971, in Little Current, Ont. with a modest 200 players. But from small seeds grows mighty trees, as they say, and that seed has taken deep root after 46 years. The 2017 ‘lil NHL Tournament, hosted by the Moose Cree Nation at various arenas in Mississauga was the largest to date with 204 teams and nearly 3,000 young future stars.

Six Nations LL No. 1s took it on the chin 8-4 by Ginoogaming in their second game of the day and the Sting got its revenge for their slow start with a convincing 6-1 win over the Saugeen Stars in the 4:15 game. The Sting returned Tuesday morning and took an 11-0 win over Whitefish River. Six Nations Blackhawks No. 2, won 10-4 over Nipissing while the LL No. 1s were beaten by Serpant River 8-3.

the side of the Buffalo net backhanding a pass to the point to Cam Fowler who fired a hard slap shot which Buffalo goalie Anders Nilsson for the first goal of the game. Montour, usually on the point is known and respected for his ability to get deep into the zone to create opportunities like this one. Then, with the score tied and nothing decided in the OT period, it came down a shootout. In the ninth round of shooters, Montour’s number was called and he made no mistake, counting on his accurate shot and quick delivery. He came down from the left wing side of the ice an cut in front when he let loose a rocket from well out which caught the glove-side top corner on Nilsson. His return to the players bench after the goal showed smiles and high fives for their young defenseman from Six Nations. Montour was drafted by the Ducks in 2014, second round, 25th pick, (55th overall). Since then he has been working hard with the AHL affiliate San Diego Gulls and has been blossoming well. He was called up to the NHL squad to fill a hole left by a sick Anaheim defenseman and has not looked back, playing 18 games so far for the Ducks. His goal and assist Friday night will help secure his spot with the NHL Ducks. One point is much better than no points, but on this given night, coach Randy Carlyle wasn’t entirely happy with the level of play by the team as a whole against the Sabers. “I didn’t think we were sharp with the puck to night,” said Carlyle. “I think we had 22 shots directed towards the net and missed the net.” The Ducks host the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday and the Stars in Dallas, Monday. The Ducks have to keep an eye on the rear-view mirror with the Oilers coming on only two points behind them. Wednesday’s game will be an important one as well.

Adoringly remembered devoted wife, loving mother and treasured Gran Sara Smith, March 24, 2015

Bomberry: Clara

In our family home, you left your creative flair, your tireless hard work, When we look about, we see your loving touch still Sweet reminiscences happen daily Your sweet voice, your hearty laughter The mention of your name brings a smile and still many a tear Sunny and rainy days pass, Time seems to fly by There are those days it seems like you have been gone so long And then we remember like it was yesterday When your journey was getting weary Though you did not let on, the valiant struggle you were facing For you still shone on, selflessly worried for us The Creator saw your frailty and reached down Brushed softly, your eyes closed. To be at peace, your spirit to soar free You earned your angel wings early And though we miss you so dearly Dance on dear Sara, continue your spirit journey Without a doubt our new additions to our family your spirit lovingly embraced them first sending them to brighten our family circle All these lessons, you taught us About the beauty of eternity! Roger, Rock, Caron, Kim, Ginny, Con, Joanne, Karen, Grand and Great Grandchildren
