“Where The Vision Is Yours”

Teacher strike now over By TRT Staff

TORONTO – Ontario colleges welcomed the passage of Bill 178 that has ended the college faculty strike and will let faculty and students return to class. "The strike has been incredibly disruptive to students and we needed to end it," said Sonia Del Missier, Chair, Colleges' Bargaining Team. "The colleges will be working with all faculty to return quickly to the education and training of 500,000 students." The government's actions were necessary to end the strike — all efforts at the bargaining table had been exhausted. "We appreciate the efforts of all elected members who supported this legislation, and especially the leadership shown by Premier Wynne and Minister Matthews," said Ms. Del

Missier. Ontario is ensuring that college students returning to classes following the strike will receive the support they need to complete their studies. The province has required colleges to establish dedicated student support funds with net savings from the strike that will assist students who have experienced financial hardship as a result of the strike. Full-time domestic and international students will be eligible to receive up

to $500 for incremental unexpected costs they incurred, such as additional child care fees, rebooked train or bus tickets or January rent. Ontario expects that students will be able to apply to their college for financial assistance through the fund starting this week. Any strike-related support will not count against a student's OSAP assessment. Students who decide to withdraw from college because of the strike will receive a full tuition refund. Apprentices can also

apply for a full refund of classroom fees if they are unable to complete their in-school training for reasons related to the strike. These financial supports for students were determined through consultations with student leaders and their provincial associations and colleges. The province will continue to work with students and colleges to finalize implementation plans in the coming days. Supporting college students is part of Ontario's plan to create fairness and opportunity during this period of rapid economic change. The plan includes a higher minimum wage and better working conditions, free tuition for hundreds of thousands of students, easier access to affordable child care, and free prescription drugs for everyone under 25 through the biggest expansion of Medicare in a generation.

New website for First Nations consent OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Polytechnic revealed a new website resource for Indigenous peoples and communities to access information on the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent. The site gives Indigenous communities information on their inherent rights to decide “yes” or “no” to development in-

dustries that would affect their lands, territories, and natural resources. Officials with Polytech’s Indigenous Knowledge Centre say the website is a tool of self-determination to assist communities in decision making bringing together Indigenous knowledge with the best of modern academic knowledge.

OHSWEKEN — A new smartphone app can help people learn the Mohawk language. The app was developed by Six Nations Polytechnic and announced at last week’s Indigenous Research Symposium.

The program is a mirror to the Cayuga app Polytech launched last year — and includes common phrases and games to test your knowledge. It is now available for download on the Apple Store and Google Play

BRANTFORD The Woodland Cultural Centre and Dedwadadehsnye>s Aboriginal Health Centre paired together to host the annual Corn Soup Cook Off in light of celebrating corn soup and its connoisseurs in the evening of Saturday, November 18. Co-ordinator Tara Froman said that the event “is always fun,” as the different cooking styles of the same soup come out of the wood work. “You get to see what people consider corn soup,” said Froman. “We have in our minds such a set view of what corn soup looks like and what corn soup tastes like and then you get all of the [competitors soups] and you think 'wow, this doesn't look like what I thought corn soup would look like.' But it does show you that it's all corn soup, it's just that everyone has their little tricks,” she said. Five competitors, including the defending champion, offered their soups for visitors to try and vote on to vie to reach first, second or third place. All participants received a $25 grocery gift certificate, and congratulations to those that earned places!

Haudensaunee Cornsoup is traditionally made with lyed corn, beans and salt pork but at competitions individuals will through their own version which may differ from the norm. FILE PHOTO

OPINION MMIW Inquiry

EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW Another member of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada, this time one of the lawyers, has resigned. Joseph Murdoch-Flowers released a statement via email to the press that he has resigned and would not comment further. Flowers exit follows two other lawyers in the last two months: Karen Snowshoe and Susan Vella, bringing the total number of departures by officials to eight. Several staff members of the national inquiry have approached national media in near whistleblower attempts to halt the inquiry and prompt a re-boot — alerting the public about problems in the organizations internal affairs. National indigenous leaders from almost every advocacy group and province have also released statements pulling back support for the current process and demanding an intervention and re-start. A concept Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett agreed with. Now, just a few weeks later, the inquiry has continued without change — prompting an ex-staffer to leak emails from newly hired executive director, Debbie Reid — where Reid tells staff to protect the commissioners from criticism, saying it is the Inquiry’s “top priority”. Is this low-key victim blaming? Or… Sadly, everywhere the inquiry visits reports are heard that community members who have been victimized by the crisis are now being re-victimized by the inquiry process — retelling the story of their lost loved ones before

an audience. Can those families detect that they are not the top priority? That their stories of loss, their healing and justice for the missing sisters is not top priority? Resigned officials have long critiqued the process saying the hearings are not operating as a trauma informed organization. So what does this all mean? According to the U.S. Department of Health — a trauma informed process “realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system; and responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization.” According to insiders at the inquiry this is not happening. Let that fully sink in for a minute. The institution created to investigate murders, kidnappings and disappearances — is not addressing trauma. Do you remember the speeches at the United Nations by Trudeau and Bennett, touting reconciliation and dignity for indigenous people in Canada is now come? Was this a stage play by the great white saviour yet again? Or were these the words of false prophets? When will the well-being of our women be top priority over and above hiding the reputation of what Canada has actually done to them? When will Trudeau’s Liberal Inquiry repent of their sins against the victims and surviving families — and move toward reconciliation?

Hoecahontas a'trois By Chezney Martin

On November 17, Nicki Minaj posted a photo to her Instagram of three sexualized poses of herself being portrayed as Pocahontas, modelled after her recent “Break the Internet” Paper Magazine cover. Three Pocahontas's are shown performing lewd acts on one another in the depiction, with the original title being “Hoecahontas.” There are families from indigenous communities, and within our own community right now that are participating in the Walking With Our Sisters Installation at the Gathering Place. The installation itself is a commemorative collection of art honouring the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW) of Canada and the U.S. I visited the installation and I found that it was not only really beautiful and really powerful, but also spiritual as soon as I stepped foot inside. The maintenance of this spirituality is strong and fearless because the women maintaining the ceremonial nature of the space keep it this way. I left the installation only to return to my computer to find my notifications blowing up with friends and family telling me about this picture. This disgusting and discriminating picture.

It's 2017. It is 2017, where the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and MMIW Campaigns are fearlessly paving the way for indigenous women to be unexploited, to be considered human and not fetishes clad in headdresses and leather loin cloths. And almost every day, those efforts are challenged by posts like this one. I honestly don't care if Minaj sexually exploits herself, I really don't. But when she sexually exploits an already fully exploited gender by their race alone, it makes me so angry that I can feel it in the pit of my stomach. The women that came before me and the women that will come after me deserve so much better than to go on Instagram and be on the receiving end of perpetuating images like this one. They deserve to see what they can do when they unite. They deserve to become the successors of all of the women before them that wanted them to be strong and powerful, and to take their places as the back bones of families. They deserve so much, but are expected to accept so little by the impacts of imagery like this. And that's why I don't even comprehend why Minaj would feel the need to post something so heinous, when

she's a woman too. All I can conclude is that she views herself as an object with her only value being found in her body, so she doesn't care if she looks at other women that way. Not only is that type of mentality sad, but it's a reality check for Minaj fans too. I've also been told that the indigenous women and men that commented on the photo that were trying to educate her were either deleted or blocked, because she is defiantly reading the comments and keeping the picture up. In other words, she is purposefully being ignorant to her own exploitation of indigenous women — she doesn't care what kind of impact her post has. And to me, that is just selfishness. Like okay Minaj, you

Volume 5, Issue 14

can say “Miley, what's good?” But when a bunch of indigenous people want to educate you and maybe shame you to hold you to a better standard, you shut them down by blocking the comments. Like I guess majority of the world doesn't expect any better from artists like her, but again, it's 2017. So, this is my final thought: Minaj is just as insecure and foolish as any person can be on this planet so I can sympathize a little. But I despise her for pulling indigenous women down with her when Western society already does it — whether we ask for it or not — because her post is an intrepid step against the positive efforts being made for the benefit of indigenous women.

opinion

Treaty rights being negotiated in bad faith by AFN By Rachel A. Snow The grassroots have had to remind the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and other First Nation representative organizations that the power and direction of any negotiation, agreement or policy implementation comes from the people, the grassroots people. In the organizational structure of First Nation leadership organizations, a hierarchal approach has been taken to match federal government’s (INAC) hierarchy. It is clear that throughout First Nation-Federal Crown relations, the nation-to-nation understanding works from the Prime Minister to the National Chief. This is not representative of traditional governance approaches where “leadership” has to come back to the people for assent. This has been confusing for the non-native entities in their understanding, legislation and policy and court approaches. It continues to widen the chasm that exists between the way mainstream does business versus “the Indian way”. Prior to contact, First Nations had governance structures that functioned within their communities. These governments were effective for each nation. These governments in-

volved the community as a whole and were guided by ceremony, spirituality and harmonious worldviews. The original people understood that they were part of the “whole”. Therefore, their decisions were transparent to the community, for the benefit of the community, and took the larger interconnected cosmos into consideration. If you contrast this approach with mainstream’s approach you will see differences. Firstly, the form of government in Canadian society today is “not for all”. Individual rights laden the charter placing the individual above the community. A mainstream government functions with one-man/woman vote so that like-minded individual groups of voters can determine the government’s agenda. There are also external influencers -corporate funders of parties that can further control the government agenda. This problem between communal versus individual thinking has plagued our population since settler colonial onslaught. The gage to measure First Nation values has always been seen through a Eurocentric lens, which distorts the truths of First Nation systems. It was unheard of for Euro-settlers to understand that First

Nations worked together without hierarchy for the good of all. At times there were mechanisms like societies or specific clans that provided “leadership” when the people needed it. The needs of the whole outweighed the needs of the one. That is why there is dissension among the failed government to government or nation-to-nation interactions. Reconciliation is defined by mainstream methods. This is causing further distancing of the solutions that First Nations have always held for their people. In 2014, National Chief Atleo had to step down because he met with then Prime Minister Harper agreeing to First Nation education changes unilaterally. Grassroots lead this “Stop Atleo” campaign, notably Alberta Cree artist Dawn Marie Marchand was an effective social media warrior leading this campaign. First Nation politicians, piggy-backed on Dawn’s campaign to call a national emergency meeting where Atleo resigned. Today, in 2017, the First Nation Treaty Right to education is again coming under threat. Again, it is the National Chief’s office functioning as a “hierarchical leader” dealing away rights with the Prime Minister. However,

this time, AFN executive is complicit in the knowledge. Social media posts have gone out alerting First Nation people that AFN is planning to allow the federal government give budget 2018 dollars to provinces or territories instead of to First Nations. Currently, with any “Indian monies”, the department of Indian (Aboriginal now Indigenous) Affairs and treasury board take “administrative percentages. Therefore another level of bureaucracy will also whittle at the Trudeau promised $1.9 billion. When there is talk of “giving education dollars” (that really is fulfilling treaty and inherent obligations), there is no public or transparent breakdown of where these dollars go. It is assumed by Canadian populace that the First Nations receive incredible amounts of dollars when in fact filtering agencies also receive their administrative cuts. Instead of giving one large superfluous figure, it would be better for Trudeau and the Liberals to give the actual breakdown that will reach reserves and individual students. Education is only one indicator of the continued dysfunctional relationship that continues between the First peoples and the federal govern-

ment. Renewed calls have seen the federal government shirk on its child and family services despite a court order to comply with equalizing on and off reserve payments for kids in care. Further to this, the federal government created the “status” category for Indians under the Indian Act legislation and disallowed women who “married” out to retain their membership. A new bill is S3 is going through the senate with ambiguous wording about consultations to amend the membership “mess” created by the federal government. Education is not only the schoolroom of treaties. It is the right to land based teachings and ways of knowing that have assisted the original people in retaining their distinct culture for centuries. In Bill c- 33 the First Nation education funding bill that saw Atleo resign, there was an AFN call for increased funding for schools and languages. National chief Bellegarde has surreptitiously been pushing for a language bill. This is the original FNEA bill being put forward again but in two pieces. AFN does not speak for the grassroots or original people when it seeks to undermine the ancestral obligations that were

signed at Treaty or the ways that have always inherently existed for the original people. Education is more than a policy or treaty promise. It is upholding the original teachings, languages and ceremonies that have established a separate system that is far superior to the corrupt and plagued settler state of colonialism. This new campaign is not only to stop Bellegarde but also to stop the AFN from negotiating without the people. Past traditional government systems addressed the communal whole. AFN seeks to pit communities, regions and leaders against one another to allow for the weakening of Indian control of Indian Education. AFN is using specific individual nations, individual elders and factionalism to direct the outcome in areas that affect all indigenous people. If this is not true, why are their continued dissents and elders being flown cross-country to justify AFN’s gifting of an eagle staff? Perry abdicated jurisdiction in the symbolic gesture of giving away an eagle staff. Is it any wonder that rights are falling into mere policies and procedures now? Stand up oyate, my people, the ancestors need us to follow through on our original intentions.

TWO ROW TIMES

The Second Coming of the Sixties Scoop

By Layla Teixeira The Sixties Scoop was a dark event in Canada’s past. It involved the mass removal of indigenous children from their homes, often without the consent of the families, to be brought into the child welfare system. It was common practice for social workers to go to reserves and take children by the bus load (an actual bus was used in some cases) and put into non-indigenous households, usually leading to the loss of culture, language and traditions. It was seen as a spin-off of residential schools and less violent form of cultural genocide. While many think this epidemic is a thing of the past, it’s still very much impacting indigenous children and families today. The continuing apprehension of indigenous children is being called the Millennium Scoop. The term was first coined by John Beaucage. McGill University says the First Nations leader was enlisted to look into the treatment of Indigenous children and found that more aboriginal children (First Nations, Inuit and Metis)

are in state care right now then at the height of the residential school system and the Sixties Scoop. Data from the 2016 census, released by Statistics Canada, reported that out of the 69 575 children in foster care, 44 550 of those children are aboriginal. The question of why 64 per cent of the foster care system is Indigenous, even though they only make up four per cent of the total population, is plaguing the minds of Canadians. It’s too simple, and incorrect, to just blame the parents for their children being taken away. The reasoning is rooted much deeper. It can be contributed to the poverty that Indigenous peoples live in, the horrible living conditions, lack of social services/programs and the intergenerational trauma they suffer from. This can be seen with Jeremy Meawasige a 16-year-old Mi'kmaq from the Picto Landing First Nation in Nova Scotia. Ojibwa Resources says that Jeremy suffers from Autism, cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus. After his mother had a stroke, it became difficult to take care of him. She didn’t have the support needed to take care of her son. The government was insisting that Jeremy be placed in an institute despite his mother’s protests. She claimed that if she was off reserve (and not indigenous), the resources necessary to keep Jeremy at home would be provided. After taking her claim to court, the Ottawa government agreed with her and Jeremy and his mother were provided the resources necessary to stay together. Not every story has a happy ending like Jere-

my and his mother’s. But their’s does illustrate the inconsistencies between the treatment of indigenous peoples and other Canadians. As Jeremy’s mother says in their trial, youth off reserve would’ve been given supports to stay with their family but the government was very eager to take a 16-yearold away from his mother. While Indigenous children are taken because of the poor standard of living among aboriginal peoples, there are underlying factors that cause this. The Millennium Scoop and even the residential school system can be traced to a colonial legacy that aims at obliterating Indigenous identity and absorbing them into the mainstream culture. An aboriginal woman who remained nameless told CBC News that she bounced from foster home to home and never discovered her cultural background until well into her twenties. She was deprived the care from her family and band and missed out on a culturally rich childhood. This story is a common one that highlights the cultural genocide that has been effecting indigenous children since Europeans first came to Canada. So how can we move forward when the problem is so deep rooted and at times unknown to most people? Providing support to indigenous families and working with them to improve their living conditions is just one way to ensure this is the last generation of children scooped from their homes to be assimilated into Canadian culture. We must work together as Canadians to move forward towards a better future for indigenous children.

ed to Highway 6 for a two vehicle collision where witnesses reported a female driver was injured and both north bound lanes of Highway 6 were blocked. OPP investigation has determined that a green Ford Fiesta being driven

by an 83-year-old female was travelling west bound on Haldibrook Road when it entered onto Highway 6 and collided with a black Hyundai Genesis that was travelling north bound on Highway 6 and being driven by a 23-year-old male.

The 83-year-old female was transported to a local area hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Her female passenger was not injured. The 23-year-old male driver of the Hyundai was not injured.

TWO FEMALES INJURED IN MULTIPLE VEHICLE COLLISION (HALDIMAND COUNTY, ON) - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Haldimand County Detachment investigated a multiple vehicle collision where two females were injured. The collision occurred on the Highway 6 overpass of Haldimand Highway 54 in Caledonia, Haldimand County, Ontario. On Sunday November 19, 2017 at 8:02 p.m., OPP, Haldimand County Fire Services, Haldimand County paramedics and Six Nations paramedics responded to Highway 6 for a two vehicle collision. While responding, OPP were updated that three other vehicles had collided into the previously reported two vehicle collision. OPP investigation has determined that a vehicle was travelling north bound on Highway 6 when it lost control on the icy roads and slid into the south bound lane colliding with a vehicle that was travelling south bound. As other vehicles approached the collision scene, each slid into the, already involved, vehicles. A female driver in one of the vehicles and a female passenger in another vehicle were both transported to a local area hospital with minor injuries. Highway 6 in the area of Haldimand Highway 54 was closed for approximately 1 ½ hours while emergency crews were on scene. OPP is reminding drivers to drive according to the weather and road conditions and to use extra caution when driving on bridges and overpasses as they freeze quicker and cause slippery conditions.

District 4 Report Councillor Helen Miller

Elected Councillor Helen Miller gives SNEC update August, September, and October 2017:

In addition to attending the weekly General Council, Committee of the Whole, individual committee meetings and specially-called meetings — I worked on a project with DAM Studios & Grand River Ontario Works; attended two Ontario Works Basic Income community information sessions; the Motherrisk information session; and the Review of Bylaws community meeting. I read and analyzed a lot of documents such as First Nations Acquisition of Hydro One Sale; attended the Haldimand Proclamation birthday and memorial to Bill Squires. I attended a meeting with some elderly at Sunrise Court, paid a visit to some constituents and helped several community members address and resolve their issues. DISTRICT MEETINGS: Councillor Wray Mara-

cle and I held district meetings for the past six months. While attendance was poor the people want us to continue. So our next meeting is Nov. 29, 2017. All are welcome. BUSINESSES NOT ACCEPTING STATUS CARDS: The Ministry of Finance has a hotline for people if a business refuses tax exemption and/or the status card. Or wants unnecessary information. Call the hotline at 1-800-ONTAX or 1-866668-8277 to report the business. UPDATE ON STATUS CARDS: INAC is phasing out the orange status card in favor of the new Secure Certificate of Indian Status (SCIS) card. So Six Nations Lands Membership has a limited supply of the orange status cards at any given time so call 519445-4613. The new SCIS card is only available at INAC’s Brantford office at 58 Dalhousie Street (519751-6462). It takes INAC

from four months to a year to issue the new card so apply early. IN-CAMERA MEETINGS: For 14 years I’ve diligently tried to curb In-Camera meetings. That’s because I believe people have a right to know what decisions are being made on their behalf. But council is hogtied to secrecy by the Code of Conduct, Oath of Office and Roles & Responsibilities of chief and council. Pleased to say I recently made a small measure of headway. Public Works Director Mike Montour’s monthly report to the Building & Infrastructure Committee was always In-Camera. I kept questioning why. As of the last two monthly meetings the majority of Mike’s report is now in the open session. LAND: Land for sale is scarce these days. Unless there’s family land, people wanting to build a house are having a hard time finding land for sale. This

is partly because families either don’t want to sell family land or know they can sell the whole package to the cigarette tycoons. This has not only limited land for sale but significantly increased the price per acre which for many makes land unaffordable. Since 2014 Housing hasn’t let people add their name to the housing waiting list unless they already have land. ADDED TO RESERVE: The SNEC has several hundred acres of land that is tied up in the Added to Reserve process. This is not only cumbersome but can take years. SNEC has been trying to speed up this process but all we get from Indian Affairs is the runaround. Although this land is currently rented to farmers, the land needs to be added to reserve before it can be used for housing plus have infrastructure in place. HOUSING CRISIS: Our people are having to live

in deplorable housing conditions simply to have a place to live. Or move off the reserve to the city. Clearly, the housing programs are not meeting the needs. The less fortunate, single parents, singles, fixed incomes, elderly and the working poor are falling through the cracks. Council needs to look at what initiatives such alternative housing is out there to help all our people have a home to live in. SEPTIC BEDS: Seems more people are opting for holding tanks over septic beds because installing a septic bed can cost up to $20,000. The problem is stand-alone holding tanks have to be emptied more frequently as opposed to a septic tank. This has increased the workload at Public Works. A few years ago PW needed only one truck to empty holding tanks. Today PW has two trucks with two drivers with a wait time of up to 3 days after a call comes in.

WASTE WATER STSYTEM: The increase in waste from holding tanks has impacted the 4th Line Waste Water lagoons. The existing lagoon system is already over design capacity which prohibits community growth. Currently PW needs funding to procure an engineering firm to design a Waste Water Treatment Plant to meet the current and long term needs of our community. OTHER ISSUES: Some Sixth Line & Chiefswood Road homeowners want a four-way stop sign at the corner. At this corner the roads are at odd angles and with the Chiefswood Gas laneway close to the corner and cars speeding over the bridge this makes exiting in any direction very dangerous. Every year there are several accidents at this corner. SNEC has directed PW to conduct an evaluation of all the corners on the reserve.

Black Friday, Big Friday, big sales By Jayson Koblun Since the ‘50s, Americans have perfected the art of creating what is possibly the largest international shopping frenzy ever by combining two key ingredients — price-slashing and short shopping time frames. The frenzy is widely known as Black Friday, a weekend in November full of impressive sales and deals, however; in 1961 the term was changed to “Big Friday” in an attempt to remove any racist or negative connotations to the name, but that didn’t last very long. Retailers soon picked up the term Black Friday again and it’s stuck ever since. This year Black Friday falls on November 25. For years Canadians have flocked to the U.S. border to get in on some of the deals and action because Canada didn’t fully embrace the frenzy themselves until the late 2000s. A website dedicated to the history of Black Friday wrote that Canadian retailers didn’t officially take part in black Friday sales until 2008 in an attempt to discourage Canadian shoppers from heading south to spend their money.

Mitchell Feero, a retail worker in New Brunswick said Black Friday gets him pumped for Christmas. “I partake because I work in retail,” said Feero. “The busyness makes it fun and really gets me in the Christmas spirit.” Some people, like Becky Sterner from Michigan, join the flurry of shoppers just to see how wild things can get. “I like to go and ‘people watch’ and see how crazy people can get,” said Sterner. “And of course, maybe find the occasional good deal.” Since 2006 there have been seven deaths and 98 injuries recorded on the website blackfridaydeathcount.com. The site records U.S. injuries only. In 2008 a man was trampled to death in a Long Island Wal-Mart shopping centre; trampling seems to have been one of the more common causes of injury as shoppers storm the doors of shopping centres when they open. Dustin Day, also from New Brunswick, grew up near the border and has never really participated in the United States’ Black Friday sales. “I haven’t really participated, I’ve bought home

Free Admission Free Door Prizes

improvement items that I’ve seen on a good sale before [in Canada], but other than that I don’t really look for anything specific,” said Day. “I’ve never really considered it dangerous though — because I live on the border I’d like to go over and see the madness someday.” Smart shoppers recognize that Black Friday is a great time to find deals on holiday gifts, and following these tips can help shoppers save even more. – Begin researching early. Since many retailers begin posting information online or send out advertisements about sale items far in advance of Black Friday, shoppers should pay attention to each retailer’s offerings so they can better co-ordinate their shopping efforts. Cross-reference prices against other stores, including both online retailers and traditional brick-and-mortar stores. – Establish a shopping budget. It’s tempting to go out shopping with credit cards blazing, but that may lead to overspending. Determine what you can afford and set a budget for Black Friday shopping. Establishing a budget can help you avoid impulse

purchases as well. – Look for extra discounts. The early bird often gets the worm, but late shoppers also may benefit on Black Friday.

Determine which times of the day stores are offering their biggest discounts. Doorbuster sales tend to start very early, but such sales might be irrelevant

Changes to definition of hypertension ANAHEIM — New guidelines in how medical professionals measure our blood pressure has added nearly 30 million adults into the range of hypertension. Nearly a dozen medical groups made the announcement on changes to blood pressure readings earlier this month at an American Heart Association confer-

ence in California. Previously a reading of 140 over 90 was catergorized as high. Now medical officials are dropping the previous pre-hypertensive stage of 130 over 80 — now labelling those patients with stage one hypertension — and patients with readings of 140 over 90 with stage two hypertension.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis' weeklong visit to Chile and Peru in January is expected to include a focus on issues affecting indigenous people. The Vatican on Monday released the itinerary for the Jan. 15-22 trip, which will be the pope's 21st foreign visit and his fifth to his home continent. The schedule includes a day devoted to the Amazon as well as a visit to a southern Chilean region claimed by the indigenous Mapuche commu-

nity. The trip also is likely to cover other issues important to Francis _ poverty, migration and the environment. And it will feature protocol visits, speeches to bishops and meetings with local Jesuits. It also could create tension. Vandals burned a bus and scattered pamphlets last week to protest Francis' Jan. 17 visit to the region claimed by the Mapuche as ancestral territory.

Trump: Try on a suit your own size By Jonathan Garlow

There are many things problematic about President Trump; he is a narcissist, misogynist, and Nazi-supporter. An elitist for sure, posing as a working man. A “dotard” according to the President of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un whom Trump called “Little Rocket Man” on Twitter. Trump was also the oldest president to ever be sworn in — which wouldn’t be a problem if he aged with grace and wisdom. Donald Trump seems to have aged like a fine Limburger cheese. It’s difficult to watch the walking example of privilege self-destruct in front of everyone. It has been estimated the current worth of the American military to be somewhere around $10 trillion. Donald Trump is the Commander-in-Chief of that war machine. Scary. Despite all of these flaws, Donald Trump’s

Donald Trump pardoned a Turkey on Tuesday while bringing back the oversized zoot suit. Or is he stuck in the 90s? greatest failure could be the ill-fitting suits he constantly wears. America is racist — we know that. America is greedy — we also know that. But since when has an American billionaire dressed so badly? Someone needs to tell Trump’s tailor to stop watching The Sopranos reruns

and get rid of some of that extra fabric. Slim fit is in Trump – that’s just one more reason why you are out. Maybe he is trying to hide behind these giant suits, but it isn’t working. This isn't about his weight either, a jacket that is tailored to his exact dimensions would

still look great. In a US Thanksgiving tradition this Tuesday, Trump was pardoning a Turkey on CNN and his pink and red stripe tie looked really sharp. But for someone with a nearly unlimited budget it’s amazing that his suit guy doesn’t tell him he needs to snug it up a little.

The Niagara Reinforcement Line (NRL) has been sitting idle for the past 10 years. Now more than ever, appears to be the right time for Six Nations to bring forth a solution that would see the NRL completed in exchange for the creation of long term value in favour of our community. A three phase bundled solution, proposed by Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC), has been accepted by the Ministry of Energy (ENERGY) and Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) pending community engagement with Six Nations.

ENERGIZE the Niagara Reinforcement Line - Hydro One is committed to offering a contract opportunity to A6N, to complete the remaining NRL transmission work.

ACQUIRE Equity Ownership in the Line - SNGRDC will acquire up to 25% ownership in the line for approx. $13 million which will be financed using an Aboriginal Loan Guarantee from the province of Ontario.

Rise in teen suicide, social media coincide; is there link? By Lindsay Tanner

CHICAGO — An increase in suicide rates among U.S. teens occurred at the same time social media use surged and a new analysis suggests there may be a link. Suicide rates for teens rose between 2010 and 2015 after they had declined for nearly two decades, according to data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Why the rates went up isn't known. The study doesn't answer the question, but it suggests that one factor could be rising social media use. Recent teen suicides have been blamed on cyberbullying, and social media posts depicting ``perfect'' lives may be taking a toll on teens' mental health, researchers say. ``After hours of scrolling through Instagram feeds, I just feel worse about myself because I feel left out,'' said Caitlin Hearty, a 17-year-old Littleton, Colorado, high school senior who helped organize an offline campaign last month after several local teen suicides. ``No one posts the bad things they're going through,'' said Chloe Schil-

ling, also 17, who helped with the campaign, in which hundreds of teens agreed not to use the internet or social media for one month. The study's authors looked at CDC suicide reports from 2009-15 and results of two surveys given to U.S. high school students to measure attitudes, behaviours and interests. About half a million teens ages 13 to 18 were involved. They were asked about use of electronic devices, social media, print media, television and time spent with friends. Questions about mood included frequency of feeling hopeless and considering or attempting suicide. The researchers didn't examine circumstances surrounding individual suicides. Dr. Christine Moutier, chief medical officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, said the study provides weak evidence for a popular theory and that many factors influence teen suicide. The study was published Tuesday in the journal Clinical Psychological Science. ``We need to stop thinking of smartphones as

OTTAWA — The federal Liberals have bent to the insistence of the Senate that changes must be made in the Indian Act to end discrimination against women and their ability to pass their First Nations status on to their children. After a court ruling and some back-and-forthing between the House and the Senate, the government agreed this week to make a change that would restore full legal status to

First Nations women and their descendants born prior to 1985, regardless of who their father was. It means that generations of children born of status Indian women will be able to eventually claim that status for themselves, affecting thousands of people with First Nations heritage that has never been fully recognized. The government will consult for a year before implementation.

harmless,'' said study author Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who studies generational trends. ``There's a tendency to say, 'Oh, teens are just communicating with their friends.' Monitoring kids' use of smartphones and social media is important, and so is setting reasonable limits, she said. Dr. Victor Strasburger, a teen medicine specialist at the University of New Mexico, said the study only implies a connection between teen suicides, depression and social media. It shows the need for more research on new technology, Strasburger said. He noted that skeptics who think social media is being unfairly criticized compare it with so-called vices of past generations: ``When dime-store books came out, when comic books came out, when television came out, when rock and roll first started, people were saying 'This is the end of the world.''' With its immediacy, anonymity, and potential for bullying, social media has a unique potential for causing real harm, he said. ``Parents don't really get that,'' Strasburger said.

Data highlighted in the study include: Teens' use of electronic devices including smartphones for at least five hours daily more than doubled, from 8 per cent in 2009 to 19 per cent in 2015. These teens were 70 per cent more likely to have suicidal thoughts or actions than those who reported one hour of daily use. In 2015, 36 per cent of all teens reported feeling desperately sad or hopeless, or thinking about, planning or attempting suicide, up from 32 per cent in 2009. For girls, the rates were higher _ 45 per cent in 2015 versus 40 per cent in 2009. In 2009, 58% of 12th grade girls used social media every day or nearly every day; by 2015, 87% used social media every day or nearly every day. They were 14% more likely to be depressed than those who used social media less frequently.

Parental leave in Ontario extended TORONTO — New mothers and fathers planning to begin their parental leave on or after Dec. 3 will now be able to spread their federal benefits for up to 18 months The federal government's long-promised changes to parental leave rules will go into effect early next month. Two new family caregiver benefits will also

begin next month. One a 15-week leave to care for a critically ill or injured adult and the other a 35week benefit to care for a critically ill or injured child. Eligible soon-to-bemothers will also be able to claim maternity benefits up to 12 weeks before the baby is due.

Early launch for Fall ’18 OSAP applications TORONTO — Ontario students can now apply for financial assistance for the upcoming school year as the government opens the application window four months early. Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the changes to the Ontario Student Assistance Program — allow students to apply for assistance for the 2018-19 school year.

The government says it opened the window early to give students more time to assess their financial options before applying to a college or university. The Liberal government announced changes to the program in last year's budget that give a combination of grants and loans that makes tuition free for some students.

Trump's pipeline leaks By Jim Windle DAKOTA — At the same time cleanup crews are dealing with approximately 210,000 gallons or 5,000 barrels of oil spilled from the TransCanada Keystone Pipeline in a northeast part of South Dakota. US President Trump gives the highly controversial project the go-ahead, overriding an earlier order by former president Barack Obama. Thursday, Nov. 15th, the Amherst, S.D. spill happened a few days before regulators in Nebraska were to decide whether to grant a final permit to begin construction on the Keystone XL Pipeline in that state. “Crews safely shut down its Keystone pipeline at approximately 6 a.m. CST (5 a.m. MST) after a drop in pressure was detected in its operating system resulting from an oil leak that is under investigation. The estimated volume of the leak is approximately 5,000 barrels,” according to a TransCanada media release. “This is not a little spill from any perspective,” said Kim McIntosh, an environmental scientist with the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources. “I think that this is no surprise,” said Yankton Sioux elder and water protector Faith Spotted Eagle. “Seriously if these people do not take this little nudge from the Great Mystery, they are going to go to that place that starts with a ‘H.’ If they don’t have a grandchild that they are not concerned about, then they do not have a heart.” There is every indication that the hundreds of protesters and land protectors from across Turtle Island will be spending some time on the Dakotas this winter, one way or another. The last time Lakota and other tribes met in protest over this pipeline, several hundred people settled in near Wounded Knee, a very spiritual and historically

significant location. It is sure that current President Trump will not be gentle or understanding about the impending clash between “big oil” and American Indian Tribes of North and South Dakota. A possible storm is on the horizon.

Restorative Justice Week Nov 20-25, 2017 What is Restorative Justice? Restorative Justice is an alternative model to the criminal justice system and focuses on repairing the harm between the person who received harm and the person who caused harm through a circle process. Healing circles have always been a healthy part of Haudenosaunee culture. Now, we are ready to revitalize our original way of healing our people across Turtle Island and across time. The Restorative Justice Facilitators meet with everyone involved individually, to discuss plan, and then to facilitate the Restorative Justice Circle.

WHAT WERE YOU WHAT HAPPENED? THINKING ? Who is Restorative Justice for? RJ is for the thoes who accept responsibility for wrong(s) they’ve committed, and who want to particpate in the RJ process. Can youth participate in RJ? 12 years old and up. Does the person who was harmed have to participate? Ideally they would, but no. Is RJ limited to Six Nations community members? All First Nations people in Six Nations and surrounding areas are encouraged to participate. Is RJ a “get out of jail free” card? No. Owning up to your actions takes courage and is not easy, especially when you come face to face with the people and families you have hurt.

WHO HAS BEEN HURT?

HOW CAN WE REPAIR?

Honouring unfinished journeys: Walking With Our Sisters By Chezney Martin

SIX NATIONS – The travelling and commemorative art installation Walking With Our Sisters reached the Gathering Place at the edge of Six Nations and opened its doors on Sunday, November 19 for the public to visit. The entirety of the installation is ceremonial and the journey begins at the doorway. Visitors are asked to remove their shoes and female visitors are given the option to wear a skirt before being smudged with sage. They then enter the space and are given pouches of tobacco to carry whilst walking through to view

1800 moccasin vamps laid gently upon cedar boughs. The vamps were made by contributors from across Turtle Island and are decorated with raised or flat bead work, feathers, ribbon, quill work and more and were not made into full moccasins to symbolically represent the premature end of a pathway into the future. The centre hosts eagle staffs and baby vamps to represent the children that did not come home from residential school. And the powerful installation has raised a lot of positive attention from visitors and volunteers. “This display is a must see. I was completely

with my daughter when it opens,” wrote Shauna Hunt Doracin on Facebook. As Walking With Our Sisters Planning Committee member Vanessa Watts explained, there is still much more symbolism tied into the installation. “Rainee Hess, one of the family members that has been working with us on the planning committee, spoke with Arnold Jacobs [an artist from Six Nations] about what she had envisioned in terms of a turtle and Sky Woman coming down. And so the vamps are designed to be laid in the shape of a turtle which Jacobs designed, and he also designed [the Sky Woman piece] to represent Sky Woman [descending from Sky World] to touch the vamps. The projection screen behind

her with geese was done by Shane Powless and it represents Sky World and the birds coming down. The longhouse out here was also designed by Bill Powless,” said Watts. With the power of the installation itself has come a lot of support as well, as Watts explained that Ganohkwasra has offered a counsellor for visitors and family members that may feel they need it. Watts also made it apparent that the installation isn't just symbolic as it also puts faces to MMIW for visitors. “Family members from Six Nations have placed pictures, poems, any items that they choose on the table so that when visitors are exiting they will see the family members who have gone missing or were murdered from Six Nations,” she said.

Watts explained that three years ago the heads of the project made a call for vamps which were then brought into a bundle and taken to different communities as the installation. “So this travels as ceremony,” she said. “There's medicines that travel, there's drums, there's vamps, and there's eagle staffs, so it's considered to be a memorial bundle.” A sacred fire was also lit on the day of the opening ceremony for the affected families, and designated fire keepers maintain the fire all day and all night. Watts said that the installation invites visitors from all walks of life, not just from the Six Nations area. “There's been family members from other communities as well, from B.C., and from other prov-

visit and to see all of the incredible work that was put into the vamps. All are welcome.” This interactive installation has travelled to various communities to commemorate and honour the interrupted lives of daughters, sisters, moth-

ers, grandmothers, nieces, cousins and aunties that make up the national tragedy of North America's Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women. It's next stop will be in Sudbury in December, but will remain within Six Nations until November 26.

TWO ROW TIMES

Riverdale star shares on acting, motherhood and late-night treats Actress Marisol Nichols plays Hermione Lodge on The CW’s Riverdale. Marisol spoke with the Two Row Times from Vancouver while shooting the second season of the show. Exclusive Interview by Jayson Koblun J – What attracted you to becoming an actress? M – I’ve always liked the idea of being dramatic to be honest. And to use that drama in a good way. I love that. I love that there are such a variety of roles — from serious to comedy — that I can dive into and pour all my emotions and fire into. J – What’s a type of movie you would like to act in but haven’t yet? M – I’d love to star in an action film. I think that would be amazing. One part of me wants to do it because I love to play strong female characters — the other part of me says that looks exhausting. I also love a good mystery. I’ve done action and mystery on TV but there’s something different in a film, where you can take up to two hours to tell a story and really flesh it out. I definitely look forward to revisiting film after Riverdale is finished shooting. J – If you could play the role of one person past or present who would it be? M – If I could play one real person I would for sure be Joan of Arc. She’s such an epic character — such a warrior and I love that. And I enjoy embodying that warrior-like fight into my characters. You don’t see it as much in Hermione but I like playing characters with strength who fight with everything for what they believe in. J – What point in your career did you realize you were a real celebrity? M – I don’t think I’m a celebrity at all. I can walk down the street, I can take the train, I can go to Starbucks on my own. So, no I don’t think I’m a celebrity. Although something I really enjoy — especially being a part of Riverdale — is that I can always tell when someone has seen the show when their eyes light up and they recognize me. It makes me so

happy to have that effect on someone. To be a part of something that makes people happy. J – Has having a career in acting ever prevented you from doing what you want? M – Yes. You have to understand, if I post something on Twitter or say something in an interview, I can’t always let loose. I’ve learned throughout the years that people will take a sentence you said, add one word, add an exclamation mark, or change it to come out completely different than what I said or meant. And so, I have to learn how to express my view in a way that can’t be used against me or twisted. That’s the one thing I don’t like; I can’t always speak freely. J – You have a daughter named Rain that you obviously want what’s best for and love very much. How hard has it been to play a less obviously loving mother to Camila Mendes’ character, Veronica, on the show? M – If you remember who she [Hermione] was in the first season, you can see the fight and effort that she put into keeping their family unit together. They were in survival mode and she did what it took to survive. In season two, you can see how dangerous her husband, Hiram, is and how he thrives on being a villain. Hermione has taken the villain role for sure but it’s because she would rather have Veronica hate her, and take out her anger on Hermione than have her get in the firing line of her father. A lot of people I meet think Hermione is just a snake and a terrible person, and I get it, but I also have some fans who really get the impression that I’m just trying to protect and do what’s best for Veronica. It’ll all come out in the end. M – It has been really hard, especially in one of the more recent episodes where Hermione is drinking and … I would never

act the way Hermione does in real life as a mother, but at the same time she’s just trying to make Veronica hate her instead of directing her anger at her dad, because her dad is way more dangerous and will fire back harder. J – Describe how you mentally prepare to play such a cold role. M – It’s hard having to be so ruthless toward someone you love so much. Obviously, we know how much Hermione loves Veronica, but even Camila, who plays Veronica, notices the change from season one and has said things like ‘Hey, remember when we used to like each other in season one’. We loved the relationship they used to have, but at the same time flipping the relationship on its side sometimes can make for a better outcome. J – Running off of that family dynamic, how important is family time for you off the clock? M – It’s so vital. My husband and I have a young kid and kids are always going to look toward their parents for what a good relationship should be. So, I need to set a good example at all times because she literally copies anything I do. My husband and I don’t fight in front of her, we have never done that. We’ve made it mandatory we will never do that. We spend good time together, have adventures, travel and go to Disneyland — that kind of stuff is really important to us. J – Hermione is showed very different in the comic book series then she is in the show, what do you like about the way the show wrote her character? M – I really like that she’s not a nothing person. I hope that I’ve been able to give some moms out there a voice. In other words, I hope I’ve shown that people make mistakes and things happen, and parenting is hard. It’s important to show how obstacles can be overcome, and how you can celebrate triumphs

together as a family. Riverdale has given moms and other adults or parents a voice. It also helps open the conversation for mothers and fathers that have really taken the brunt of dangers and troubles away from their children even if their children never realize it. There’s no manual, it’s tough being a parent. J – Hiram, your show husband is slightly dangerous, but it seems Hermione can be too, how can viewers expect to see their relationship progress? M – Hermione is definitely also a little dangerous. The difference is that she is reluctant. She’ll do what she has to do to survive and protect her family, but it’s a reluctant ruthlessness. With Hiram, it’s who he is and he revels in it. The difference between the two is the intentions behind it. You’re going to see her get stronger and stronger and hopefully we get around to showing you why she’s doing it. J – What challenges have you faced in remaining true to yourself in the Hollywood world? M – I’ve turned down roles before. I’ve turned down anything that might affect my integrity, no matter what my agents were saying and no matter who I pissed off for declining roles. I’m not going to do what I don’t agree with. If you don’t have your integrity you have nothing. There’s nothing worse than the feeling that you’ve made a mistake and you went against your integrity and you did

something you knew you shouldn’t have done. Maybe its because I had such a crazy childhood and I did a lot of things I shouldn’t have done then, that I wasn’t about to do it with my career. In that sense that’s been the biggest challenge staying true to myself. J – What’s something that still excites you about acting and what’s something that still intimidates you about acting? M – So much still excites me. Knowing that someone is going to see the finished product and feel something. What I get to play, what I get to do, what I get to wear, where the story goes — that excitement has never gone away. Something that I hate about acting is auditioning. I endure it because I know it’s a part of the process and I’ve found ways to help me like it more, but it’s so much different than being on a set. I think you have to be 10 times better in the auditioning room — no props, no camera angles, no lighting, no time-outs, it’s all you. J – So my wife and friends told me I had to ask. Who is the Riverdale shooter? M – I can’t tell you that. Tell your wife that I’m sorry and I hope she understands but I just can’t answer. We didn’t know for a while but we do know now. J – Favourite part of Riverdale so far? M – Reading the script for the next episode as a group. The writing is just

so good, it’s so fun to be a part of. J – You’ve been interviewed so many times, what is one thing you wish someone would have asked you by now but never had? M – Great question. You know what I like? I like people asking me; ‘What’s your favourite food?’, ‘What’s your favourite movie?’ Just silly, silly stuff. Sometimes I talk about human trafficking and my non-profit organization so much, and that is my passion, but it’s such a dark subject, so sometimes you have to lift yourself out of it to continue on with life. So, let me talk about my daughter, let me talk about my family, or favourite food, or silly things, because it gets me out of the serious stuff. J – OK. So, on that note, what’s a fad that your daughter is obsessed with that you don’t understand. M – Um, Powerpuff Girls. They have a new one and she is obsessed. I watch it, and all I see are people fighting the entire time and I don’t get it. I don’t like it, but she does. So that’s somethings she into that I just don’t understand. J – What do you get from Starbucks? M – I like hole-in-thewall, individual momand-pop coffee places that some individual person or family created from scratch, more than Starbucks. I usually get an Americano or a Caffé Breve, which is basically an Americano with heavy, heavy cream. J – What’s your favourite late-night cheat meal? M – I don’t normally do fast food. My late-night cheat meal is always, and will always be — dessert. If I’m going to cheat I’m not going to cheat with bread, I’m not going to cheat with a sandwich. I’m going to use it for cake, or cookies, or chocolate. That’s my favourite late-night treat. I want something sweet. J – That’s all I’ve got for you Marisol, thanks so much for taking time to talk with me today. M – No problem Jayson, thanks for talking and have a great day.

Corvairs offence just got better By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – Sunday night, in Welland, the Caledonia Corvairs outshot the Canadians, 5220 in Sunday’s 5-1 win over Welland after burying Buffalo under 44-18 shots on their way to a 14-0 thrashing of the Buffalo Regals, Saturday night. That’s a total of 96 shots to 39 shots against. Five different Corvairs contributed goals beginning with Sean O’Brien and Andrew Burns in the first period, TJ Hughes in the second, and Cal Davis and James Farmer-Valente scored in the third. Welland ruined Brandon McCorriston’s bid for a shut-out when Noah Blakely scored a powerplay goal for Welland in the second. The Corvairs beat the Buffalo Regals Saturday night, but in this case the word “beat” takes on another meaning. They really beat them up, 14-0. The onslaught began early when Bobby Harrison breached the Buffalo defense at 1:12 of the first of three painful periods to watch if you came with the Regals. It was 5-0 after 20 minutes, and 11-0 after two. Caledonia mercifully went easy on the beaten and bedraggled Regals in the third, only scoring three more. They were not selfish at the feeding trough either. In all, 16 Corvairs earned points, led by Cal

HAGERSVILLE – The struggling Hagersville Hawks made no ground on anyone this past week in Jr. C Hockey week in Hagersville, and remain in second last spot. Ahead of the Simcoe Storm which is also having a poor start to the 2017 to 2018 season. Saturday, the Hawks took it on the jaw, 7-3, from the Dunnville Mudcats, in Hagersville. Hagersville scored first with Jach Carr converting a play started by Wesley Fritz and Hayden Smith to take a 1-0 Hawks lead at 12:07. It didn’t stand for long. Hart Carco and Shayne Butler scored for the Cats.

Dunnville walked all over the Hawks in the second period setting up a 6-2 two period lead. Ralph Taggart scored Hagersville’s second goal. Carr netted his second of the game at 33 seconds hoping to inspire his team, but it didn’t take as Cats scored a powerplay goal at 8:26. The frustration boiled over in the third with a series of aggression penalties and fights. But in the end, the Hagersville Hawks had lost yet another game and maybe earned a few suspensions. Coming up for the Hawks is Thursday, Nov. 23rd, in Dundas, and a 7:30 p.m. date with the Simcoe Storm at the Talbot Gardens.

Atom LLs settle for a tie with Tillsonburg By Jim Windle

OHSWEKEN – The Six Nations Atoms LL Blackhawks came within 28 seconds of a win at the Gaylord Powless Arena (GPA) Saturday afternoon. Instead, the Tillsonburg bench and fans felt lucky to come out of the GPA with a point. That was thanks to Brandon Wall who drew the teams to the tie 4-4 with time running out, assisted by Brent Gee and Reid Cameron. Jozey Jacobs had another big game, opening the scoring two minutes into the game with a wrist shot high to the glove side of the Tillsonburg goalie. Tillsonburg answered at 6:19 of the 10-minute period when Gee pulled Six Nations goalie Billy Whitow a cross the crease, shooting it just inside the far post to tie it up, 1-1. Whitlow came up big with a minute left making

a huge save to send the teams into the second period tied. Six Nations’ Aason Hill scored from his knees early in the second period from Jozey Jacobs and the Blackhawks were up 2-1. At 5:17, Jacobs was sent in all alone on the Tillsonburg goal and made it 3-1 in favour of the Blackhawks. Whitlow got stung but a long shot along the ice eluded him and it was 3-2, and then a wrap-around goal unassisted by Gee and it was tied at 3-3 with one period left. Thirty seconds into the third period Jacobs scored one through traffic to give the Blackhawks the upper hand. The score stayed at 4-3 for the rest of the way and the Black Hawks thought they were about to ring up a win when Brandon Wall scored the tying goal with 28 seconds remaining.

Twenty-eight seconds came between the Six Nations Atoms and a win Saturday afternoon against Tillsonburg. But the bright side is, they earned a point. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

SN Bantams blasted 10-1 By Jim Windle

Blackhawks taken down by Wildcats By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – Waterford produced a 5-3 win over the Six Nations Bantam No.1 squad Saturday afternoon at the Gaylord Powless Arena (GPA). Ryan Hess scored 10 seconds apart, the first high to the stick side the second by tapping in a

bouncing rebound. Donovan Monteforte assisted on both and AP player Dayton Jamieson adding an assist as well. The second period closed with the score 2-2. Waterford’s Ethan Lalond scored with a change-up floater that Six Nations AP goalie Jaycee Hill could not find and Ju-

lia Richardson tied it with 1:50 remaining in the period. The third period opened with a fluke goal that came off the boards on a weird hop, off Hill and into the Blackhawk goal to make it 4-3. Waterford’s Cole Saracuse accounted for the 5-3 Waterford win.

OHSWEKEN – At the end of the first period, the Six Nations Bantam LLs were looking pretty good against the Paris, but unfortunately for them, a hockey game is three periods and the Blackhawks only showed up for one. Paris began the domi-

nation at 4:31 of the second 10-minute period and soon the floodgates were open and Paris poured in three goals within a minute and fifteen seconds. Six Nations only goal of the game came with 27 seconds left before the second intermission, with Owen Hill doing the honours from Ryan Ja-

mieson. Just to poke Six Nations in the eye, Paris put another one in with eight seconds left on the second period clock to make it 4-1. The third period was a blowout with six goals added to Paris’ side to the scoreboard to make it 10-1.

It was all in advance of the kick-off of the 28th NLL season. The last few weeks of training camp is when the final cuts are made and players not called to the NLL them begin trickling down through the Major Series Lacrosse the Sr. Bs and Arena Lacrosse League. There were two games schedules. The Bandits played games against the Knighthawks and the Black Wolves. The only stats that were kept by the official time keeper was to recorded the penalties and goals, but there was a lot more writing going on in the stands. That’s where the general managers and head coaches sat watching with clipboard in hand to leave themselves little messages of each player

that could mean the difference between seeing action in the NLL this year or not. The preseason rivalry between these two teams came together at the ILA Sunday morning and the Rochester Knighthawks emerged victorious, taking down the Buffalo Bandits 12-8. With the win, the Knighthawks improved to 2-0 in the preseason, while Buffalo fell to 1-1. Matt Vinc, who made his first start of the preseason, turned aside 33 Buffalo shots in three quarters of work to earn the win. Meanwhile, Angus Goodleaf entered the game in the fourth and stopped the first eight shots he faced to finish with 11. He also picked up an assist on Mike

Triolo’s breakaway goal. “We wanna get a look at some of the younger guys in a game-like atmosphere,” said Bandits coach Rich Kilgour. “We had a good showing against New England and two good periods against Rochester.” The Buffalo Bandits finished in last place last season and are in the midst of a much needed rebuild. Kilgore knows that his job includes not only getting players to come out to camp, but to make them want to stay and as a former player, he also knows what it takes to do both. Of course, there are a couple of people who are going to be here no matter what, but for the most part there are probably 10 jobs

Bad news for Habs fans NHL – According to insiders, Carey Price worked with goalie coach Stephane Waite shortly before the Canadiens started practice and then he participated in the session along with other netminders Charlie Lindgren and Antti Niemi. Price hasn't played since Nov. 2 because of a lower-body injury and his recovery has stagnated. The Montreal netminder insisted that he will be back soon and said he would be playing if it were a playoff game, but this "minor" injury has already kept him out for a while. With Price not dressed, Lindgren and Antti Niemi were left in charge of the Montreal net and are not having a great time without him.

After suffering from a booing home town audience, Lindgren said after the game, “We earned those boos.” But, Price and the Canadiens have not had a stellar start even with its star goalie in net and have an 8-11-2 record heading into this week’s games. The 30-year-old goaltender has still not fully recovered from a minor lower-body injury sustained on Nov. 2 against the Minnesota Wild. Coach Claude Julien was pleased to see Price back at work, but his return to active duty is still up in the air. "One step at a time. It's encouraging that he's practicing with us," said Julien, “He's still day-today, so we don't know exactly when he's coming

back. We'll see how he continues to progress." Carey Price calls Anahim Lake, B.C., population 319, home. When he became old enough to play organized hockey, his parents would load up the car for the drive to Williams Lake, B.C. — 320 kilometres one way — on weekends so he could play. "My parents gave up a lot so I could play," Price says. "It's something I never forget and I will always be thankful for." His mom, Lynda Price is the chief of the Ulkatcho First Nation in B.C. His father, Jerry, who often was behind the wheel for those long drives, also was a goalie and was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1978, but he didn't play an NHL game.

for the taking and it’s wide open. Gaywash Schindler is an alternate governor for the Rochester Knighthawks and helps with their training camp. He likes what he has seen so far. “We still have close to 30 players to sift through,” he said. “I think in both games, the second half we played much better. We’ve got a good mix of veterans and new guys and great goaltending. We’ve got some depth on defense already.” The veterans returning are not just guys who gave been around a while, they are legitimate “A”-calibre NLL players, like Billy Dee Smith and the Dawson Brothers to name a few. “I think it is going to be a much different year this year,” says Schindler. Of the veterans returning, defenseman Paul

Dawson looked like he was playing in a playoff game, throwing himself in front of shots like a second goalie. And why not? Dawson was drafted as a goaltender in the first round (seventh overall) in the 2006 National Lacrosse League entry draft. As a goaltender, Dawson played with the Brampton Excelsiors in the Senior A Major Series

Lacrosse League. The San Jose Stealth converted him from a goaltender to a defenseman starting with the 2008 NLL season. Rochester will close out its preseason slate with a 6:00 p.m. showdown against the defending champion Georgia Swarm on Saturday, Dec. 2 at the ILA.

Rebels celebrate 2017 with awards By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The Jr. B Six Nations Rebels handed out the hardware Sunday at the ILA Banquet facility at the Rebels Annual Banquet and Awards gathering. After a great regular season and early success in the playoffs, the Rebels could not get past the Orangeville Northmen and were eliminated in the playoffs. Rookie coach Miles General guided the team to a solid 19-1 regular season for first in the Division before bowing out 3-1 to the Northmen in the Western Finals. Rebels high scorer was Layne Smith with an amazing 72-goals and 40-assists for a total of 112 points last season for the Gaylord Powless

Memorial Trophy. He also won the Ross Powless, MVP award. The Blaire Martin Memorial Trophy for Rookie of the Year went to Riley Miller and two of last season’s Rebels shared the Most Dedicated, Cap Bomberry Award. Chayton King and Daniel Hill earned the honour. The all-round player of the year, Buck Smith Award winner was Kevin Owen Hill. The Ruth Isaacs Memorial Trophy winner was Tanner Baldwin. The Clayton Sandy Award for most sportsmanlike player was won by Drayton Martin. The Craig Monture Memorial Award winner was Justin Martin and Josh Miller was awarded the Most Inspirational Player, and received the Karen

Kathleen Rose Hill Memorial Award. The Frank Maracle Memorial award winner was Edward Leggatt. The Keegan Hill Memorial Trophy for “Unsung Hero” was Kevin Owen Hill. The team’s Carney Elijah Johnson Memorial Trophy as he Heart and Soul of last years Rebels was Riley Montour. The Curtis Ellis Hill Volunteer of the year award winner was Fern Vyse while the Leroy Jamieson Award for bench staff went to Nic Skye.

RIGHT: The Six Nations Jr. B Rebels star marksman, Layne Smith, had a remarkable season scoring 112 points in 20 games, and has another year left in Jr. eligibility. That has earned him a lot of acclamations in lacrosse circles. He has not decided if he will remain at the Jr. B level of tryout for the Arrows or another Jr. A team.

It was award banquet time for last season's Rebels and several members of last year's Rebels received something to remember the season by. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are anxious to go on an adventure, but you simply can’t find time in your schedule. You may just have to make it happen by turning off your devices and heading out.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you are sure that your perspective will win over the crowd, you have to accept there will be some who don’t agree with you. Be gracious and don’t step on any toes. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, although you might not realize it, someone is making a concerted effort to get to know you this week. Be open to new relationships and you may make a lifelong friend. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you have worked hard and are now beginning to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Treat yourself to whatever you would like. Be proud of your efforts.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Do not avoid others to escape conflict, Aquarius; otherwise, you are only delaying the inevitable. Speak your mind and address the situation with tact and professionalism.
