Donations for Ohsweken family expected to top $15,000 By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – The death of a three-year-old boy in a tragic house fire Friday on 4th Line near Chiefswood, has brought the Six Nations community together in sorrow and in support of the Sherri Bomberry and Trevor McNaughton family. The house fire took the life of young Tate Ryerson McNaughton. There were seven children living in the family home but they all made it to safety except Tate. Despite heroic efforts of Six Nations Fire Chief Matt Miller who, once told there was still a child inside, rushed into the blaze and found the youngster under his bed. He and carried him out of the fully enflamed house, but it was too late. The pre-Christmas tragedy hit Two Row Times sales account manager Tiff Thomas especially hard. Although a distant cousin to the Bomberrys that was not what sparked her to help. “We’re a small community and everyone knows each other,” said Thomas. “When something like this strikes the community, we all feel it. We are good people and we all love our kids. But it was the loss of the little boy mainly,” she says with a tear welling up. “I have a little boy around the same age too and it kin-

Two Row Times sales accounts manager Tiff Thomas has begun a GoFundMe account intended to help the family of three-year-old Tate Ryerson McNaughton with donation from near and far. To date the amount collected so far is rapidly approaching $15,000 and could go higher. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE da put me in her shoes, I guess.” Thomas was moved to opened a GoFundMe account online and is busy making requests for donations to help the young family deal with the horrific situation. The donations have been flooding in from on and off reserve. Thomas explains that her choice to fundraise through GoFundMe was based on the accountability and oversight the company does to ensure the money raised goes to the right cause. “They take a 7.9 per cent fee but as far as I am concerned, it is well worth it considering the protection and accountability they provide,” says Thomas. In the first four days of having the site up and telling of the tragedy on our social media, the Tate

Ryerson McNaughton fund quickly ballooned to more than $15,000. The account will remain open this week and donations are still being accepted by logging onto w w w. g of u n d me . c om/ helpthebomberryfamily. Thomas’ main goal was initially to raise enough money to pay for Tate’s funeral. In no time at all there was more money coming in than she expected which will help the family and the surviving children with cloths, food, and other expenses so they don’t have worry about anything but healing their hearts. “That’s the lasting they need to worry about right now,” says Thomas. “Christmas is coming, they have lost everything and they have other kids to get gifts for and restore some form of normality to the family.”

OTTAWA — Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott says the federal government will spend as much money as it takes to end long-term, boil-water advisories in First Na-tions communities by March 2021. Phillpott made that vow before the AFN after Parliament's budget watchdog warned that

the federal government hasn't devoted anywhere near enough money to fulfil Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's promise to end boil-water advisories within five years. It will cost at least $3.2 billion in capital investment to bring First Nations drinking water and wastewater systems up to standards compa-

rable to non-Indigenous communities by 2020, ac-cording to a report released by the parliamentary budget office. That includes $1.8 billion to upgrade drinking water systems and another $1.4 billion to upgrade wastewater treatment, along with $361 million in maintenance costs.

OPINION

Don't you dare edit our voices EDITORIAL BY CHEZNEY MARTIN

An opinion piece from me almost always begins with me ranting or offering my two cents on an issue. I don't know if that's a reflection on me or the things that make we want to write with passion — but I like to think it's just me exercising my voice. I mean, I guess it's just me feeling out fresh new linens because the voices that came before me were drowned out in blood or simply stolen. And I do love to write, my fingers and mind ache when I don't. But imagine writing an age-old story told from mouth to ear that is filled with emotion and knowledge; a story from oral tradition that was never even meant to be trapped by words written by a person on a keyboard. Imagine stitching this story down, taking away it's looseness, it's freedom, and sharing it to those that cannot hear your voice from mouth to ear. Now once you've imagined it, understand that it takes a lot from the soul of a person to subject oral tradition to the commitment of pen and ink. But I suppose writing a story down like that is a great way of sharing and remembering the story, isn't it? Sure. Now, think with me and imagine someone looking at this story, reading it, and not identifying with it because it was never theirs to identify with. Now imagine them rewriting it the way they would like it, in a way that would make them identify with it. In a way that was selfish, and ignorantly so. This has happened to me twice in this life. I will tell you how anger heated my stomach as I read a changed, heavily edited text. The story once shared with me, a part of my ancestors and the collective voices of those before me, now felt alien. It felt like something precious was taken and altered beyond recognition; and altered in a way that made it hard for me to read it. It had been

washed in a colour that took the emotion, the connection from it and this was done without my knowledge. I had thought that grammar and punctuation was all that might have needed to be altered, but I was wrong both times. And soon after the anger died, I felt ashamed. “That's why you don't write those things down,” was all I could hear in my head. But then I thought; no, that's why indigenous writers should only be edited by those that are culturally sensitive or understanding, or by an indigenous editor that holds equal or more knowledge on the subject at hand. They should also be consulted in regards to the alterations of their story because it is in their voice with their name on the byline. And our voices aren't radio stations — to be turned down when we are too loud, or to be changed when we say something that doesn't want to be heard. They are the echoes of our ancestors, the rumblings of thunder, and the carriers of our traditions. So. When an indigenous person speaks, let them speak. When an indigenous person writes, let them write. Because so many before them did not have the tools, education or the option to do so. What we say might not identify with you. What we say might hurt you. What we write might cut into you. But let us have our voices as you have yours. We don't have to stroke your ego or offer patriotism beside you. We do not have to speak or write in a way that you can understand. Ours is a history that once did not include you. And we do not owe it to you to be silent. So, edit for grammatical errors all you want. But don't you dare edit our voices.

Local coach says thanks Sago:

This piece was attempted to be written months ago, however it was thought it would not carry the weight or the effectiveness if written mere weeks after graduating from the Native Horizons program, opposed to a year after, thus the concrete proof of successful change. This Dec 11th I celebrate one year of sobriety on my own, one year without even a drop of alcohol. This accomplishment was not achieved on my own, it was achieved through being incarcerated, through the help of traditional spiritual teachings, and women and men at places such as New Directions and Native Horizons. And lastly with dedication, discipline, determination and above all perseverance. I was fortunate enough to do my sentence at an institution called OCI, the Ontario Correctional Institute. Here I was grounded by the fact I’d been jailed, and taught to recognize my feelings, thought patterns and how to recognize when I was in trouble — falling out of the ever so critical balance of self. Taught tools of how to cope, and to surround one’s self with a good support network and have a plan in place such the inevitable urge to use should arise.

Honestly it was seeing and hearing the change in some very bad men that put me “all in” so to speak, I bought in to the program. Sucking everything I could out of the place, committing whole heartedly with the upmost of honesty, one of the seven grandfather teachings. It was then I was chosen as the second aboriginal person to have a circle TAP hearing, a temporary absence permit that allowed me to finish my sentence at Native Horizons — and it as they say was the “icing on the cake”. It was here through the more intimate connection with its counsellors I was able to use the tools I’d learned to date with a greater effectiveness, and by intimate I refer to one counsellor to three to four people opposed to 30 plus. Through their methods I actually dealt with the incidents that drove me into a bottle, made me an alcoholic — simply amazing, emotionally deep, tear jerking, heartfelt release work that did just that. Released the demons, the guilt, the embarrassment and the feeling of worthlessness that blanketed my mind body and spirit. Thank you, Native Horizons. The implementation of the traditional aspect of healing with addictions they offer

was amazing and opened my mind to exploring concepts that had been closed by the AA program. Not that AA doesn’t help, it just was not for me. The caring they demonstrated and the fact that many of the counsellors had walked a similar path to those still struggling allowed them a deeper empathy to the addict then those taught at a school. They’d learned from the school of life and that allowed me to open up more fully and completely to them. Simply inspiring role models, so inspiring I too have the thirst and desire to use my life, my story to help the struggling. And have embarked on a path to help, to be an ear, a voice, a shoulder — Pete Skye Sr., a man I have the utmost respect for once said “you’re here for a reason” perhaps after 46 years I’ve finally found that reason. For those still struggling there’s a better way, it’s tough at times, embarrassing and scary. But the rewards of COMMUNICATION are bountiful — please believe me, seek the help that’s here right in our community, there amazing and waiting with open arms.

Gifting Nature

Mu WÎyan Î’uch: Thunder Woman speaks

Treaty Right to Education By Rachel A. Snow

By Quin Staats

Have you ever noticed how often people exchange elements of the natural world as gifts? Flowers, house-warming plants, stones, sculptures, carvings, sharing our harvests, the supposed most genuine act of offering a diamond ring; literally any occasion or situation, a gift of Nature is considered to be the most sincere. So, what's all the buzz about? What is the natural draw to these gestures of giving and sharing natural elements? What makes ‘gifting Nature’ a universal message of appreciation, purity and love? I decided to start looking at the beginning. Humans have had a deep-rooted connection to Nature and the energies and spirits around us that can and can't be seen — until recently. Never have we been so disconnected to Mother Nature. Yet, through our gifting, the drum beat has not stopped. These days, our giving of Nature seems to allude to a gift beyond worldly possessions. It is a gift of creation, energy, life and spirit. It is something to connect with and lose yourself in, a portal to harmony.

TWO ROW TIMES

It is a gift of innocent and timeless beauty and a mysterious harmony. The magic of a form of creation that has survived and adapted no matter the circumstances, no matter what. Beautiful gifts — but we so often forget about ourselves! We quickly decide to splurge, do “something for myself”. We spend money on ourselves, but instead why not expand our own Natural exposure, and start gifting to ourselves the same simple gestures? Buy a homemade sweetgrass soap, adopt a fish and name it Frank, grow a plant from seed and watch it grow before your eyes. Talk to the breeze, harvest the land you walk, take yourself on a romantic scenic drive. Connect and receive the bounty of gifts through harmony in surrounding energies. Giving yourself flowers feels way better than getting them! And never ever forget — to always give thanks. You wouldn't not give your Aunt Donna a hug if she gave you a rubber tree plant, right? Water the seeds, indulge in the multitude of medicines around you.

The Assembly of First Nations and the newly divided department of Indigenous services DISC formerly Indian and Northern affairs have attempted to reduce the treaty or inherent right to education to a policy matter. Indian country in Canada has seen rapid changes in three months. The Assembly of First Nations with task forces, joint committees, and high-level meetings has been hard at work securing their involvement in the devolution of Treaty and Inherent rights for the First Peoples in Canada. First Nation organizations across Canada owe their allegiance to the acts of the Chiefs who responded to Trudeau the elder’s, 1969 White Paper. The resounding stance taken by the Treaty Chiefs with a unified voice signaled that the paternalistic and assimilation policies or proposed legislation would no longer be tolerated. In defeat, Trudeau the elder responded with funding national and regional organizations including the National Indian Brotherhood now called the As-

sembly of First Nations. The Treaty Chiefs did not hesitate. Without cellphones or social media they banded together to stand against mainstream federal oppression. These Chiefs were glorious in their journey to Ottawa. They stood for the communal rights and protections of the sacred covenant that were passed to them as leadership. Following ceremony, protocol and transparent communications, these Chiefs were successful because they had spiritual power. Their actions signaled to the Federal Liberal party that we still hold the warrior mentality of our ancestors. These same Treaty Chiefs took it upon themselves to visit the United Kingdom prior to the patriation of the Canadian constitution. Armed with spiritual guidance, travelling with elders and clear vision these Chiefs successfully lobbied the Great Britain Crown, so that fiduciary duty to uphold the treaties and inherent rights of the original peoples of this land would continue for time immemorial, and in the oppressor’s own document. The actions of current

“leadership” today December 4, 2017 are comic and tragic compared to our leaders in the past. Four years ago in 2013, a national chief was forced to resign for making deals with the Prime Minister behind closed doors. This same event has recurred. The only difference is that the regional chiefs have been complicit in the treacherous action. What will be said of this day? Our chiefs are lost and powerless. They have been going from positions of leadership to positions of administration for years. Countless traditional people, elders and prophecies foretold that “leadership” would drift and sell out the communal rights of the people. That day is here. It is upon us. At the Special Chiefs Assembly on Education, Perry Bellegarde began his rehearsed speech by stating his commitment to work with Trudeau the younger. Perry spouted his usual rhetoric and his words are powerless. They do not hold the spiritual strength and conviction of former Chiefs. Perry’s words ring hollow. The gifting of an eagle staff was a

unilateral move of Perry in September 2017. He left an elders meeting in Alberta to run to hand over the symbol of our sovereignty to colonized, capitalist countries. This is not a slight that has passed the notice of our ancestors. At the AFN meeting, their own youth council stated that they no longer agree with the governance schemes of the AFN Executive, which includes Perry’s actions. The Youth spoke sternly with one united voice to say they will no longer stand by, while this organization tries to confuse the first people across the land. The Youth spoke with power. They spoke with vision. They spoke with unity and with an elder to make their statement. If there is any hope left for the future of the original people, it happened in this moment. Following this discussion, an elder spoke again about the improper protocol of passing an eagle staff to an unworthy candidate. Then he failed to shake Perry’s hand as he left the stage. These slights foretell a greater message. The colonial conCONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Indigenous Fusion cook book wins best book award

By TRT staff TORONTO – Cooking with the Wolfman: Indigenous Fusion, by David Wolfman and Marlene Finn won the Best Book of the Year category for Canada at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards and will be competing internationally in the "Best in the World" competi-

tion. The international winner of the “Best in the World” will be announced on May 26, 2018 at the annual Gourmand Awards Ceremony in Yantai, China. In Cooking with the Wolfman Canadian Chef Wolfman (APTN food star and George Brown College instructor) and his partner Finn take on the culinary bisects of culture and food from a First Nations perspective. Whether the topic is cooking utensils, curing fish, soup making, smoking game, or baking bread, each chapter explores the past and present use of foods native to the western hemisphere by indigenous peoples. The food history and cooking traditions of First Nations, Metis, Inuit, Native Americans,

Peruvians, Mexicans, and Central Americans are highlighted, showcasing diverse cultural practices and social customs that developed over thousands of years. Recipes combine ingredients of the New World with those of the Old World, with a focus on contemporary cooking techniques, to illustrate how the use of Indigenous foods has changed throughout time, reflecting changes in hunting, fishing, and farming; diet; technology; health and safety standards; and consumer demand. The addition of personal stories from Wolfman (member of the Xaxli’p First Nation of B.C.) and Finn (member of the Métis Nation of Ontario) round out the book, sharing insights on what it means to enjoy indigenous foods today.

Treaty right to education continued

Big smiles and a free Turkey Dinner were on the menus at MP`s Ice Cream and Pita Palace located at 722 Chiefswood Road, last Thursday. Both were received very well by young Kenz Smith and the Six Nations community at large with and estimated 150 dinners served. SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Free turkey dinner big success By TRT staff

SIX NATIONS — MP’s Ice Cream and Pita Palace located at 722 Chiefswood Road opened its doors to the public Thursday, Dec. 7, to give a free Christmas Dinner to anyone in need, or in want of a great hot turkey dinner. Melissa Monture and other members of the family were run off their feet

right from when the doors opened at 4 p.m. “It was just awesome,” she said. “I think we made up 150 dinners for our friends and family to share a meal with those in need this Christmas season.” It was such a huge success that this year’s gift to the community will become an annual affair, according to Melissa and the Monture family.

structs that pretend to represent our people are no longer acceptable. When there are recommendations to implement our languages and inherent ways then there will be spiritual forces that help guide the return to our original ways. This is the failure of the federal government and all colonial partners. They have always failed to address the spiritual component that speaks to the blood memory of our people. They do not know that we are armed beyond their petty words, resolutions and duplicitous actions. In the Education area, the traditional people refer to the life-long learning concepts of our people. Education is more than the proposed K-12 programs of the federal government. Education embodies the teachings, language, vision and ceremonial strength that flow through our people from cradle to grave. It is very sad and disheartening to see the

Indian Act chiefs stumbling through the crafty traps set by the federal government. We are not watching leaders. We are watching the remnants of a people after Indian Affairs has interfered in years of governance. We are watching “stand around the fort” confused leaders who have neither the capacity or the vision to get or see truth in the trickster lies of the federal government or their own “representative” organizations. Tragically, their understanding only can see what they are told, and they can only see what they are told to see in dollar amounts. Confusion reigned at the national chiefs meeting as several drafts of the proposed “Transforming First Nation Education proposed policy” was put forth without the accompanying information that the first batch of INAC (DISC) dollars went to establishing school boards. How are school boards relatable to the

life-long understanding of education? The chiefs could stand on the fact that they may not have had all the information. They could have walked out of the AFN. This is the solution. If Trudeau the younger, the feds, INAC or the newly structured DISC and Crown relations arm, truly want “reconciliation”, and understand our indigenous ways of doing things they will live stream all future negotiations. AFN will participate, keeping their role as co-ordinators, bringing the information to the people. As AFN and the executive, say they follow our ways; they will have no problem with this transparency. Perry was right about our people being in poverty. He failed to mention it is our leadership and it is spiritual poverty. The treaty and inherent rights holders are the people and there will be ancestors to answer to, for all of us.

Fire safety in the winter season By TRT Staff

Hanging decorations with family and friends and getting into the holiday spirit also brings along holiday fire hazards that can easily be prevented and avoided by a few precautions. The first includes decorated and glowing Christmas trees. Although many families have already erected their trees as a part of staple Christmas festivities, if you are looking to purchase a new one for this season be sure to check any artificial trees for the “fire resistant” label. This does not mean that the tree won't catch fire, but it will resist burning and will help to quickly extinguish. When looking to purchase a live tree, check to see that the needles are green, hard to pull from and when bent, the needles won't break between your fingers. Check the butt of the trunk as a tree recently cut will be sticky with resin and when tapped or moved around, the tree won't lose many needles. Each of these qualities indicates freshness, and a fresh tree is much harder to burn than a dry one. So if you've already set up your tree, make sure that it is placed away from fire places, heaters and radiators. Try not to place it in a walkway or doorway as to not obstruct the way of exit and foot traffic. Also take into consideration that heated rooms dry live

trees out rapidly and keep the stand filled with water. Another note for those with live trees; take care in how you dispose of the tree as rapid burning and excessive heat can damage fireboxes and chimneys. The next to keep an eye out for are all of the pretty lights. CSA approved lights are best and with each new season check every set of lights for broken or cracked sockets, loose connections, frayed or bare wires and throw away any damaged sets. If you are using an extension cord keep in mind to use no more than three standard-sized light sets per chord, and never use lights on a metallic tree. A metallic tree can become charged with electricity from faulty lights and with just a touch, a person can be electrocuted. Outdoor lights should also be securely fastened to trees, house walls or other supports to protect the bulbs and wires from wind damage — insulated staples or hooks available at hardware stores

are best for this purpose. Turning off all lights when you go to bed or leave the house is an added step as lights that short out can start a fire. While added electric-shock protection can be put in with ground fault circuit interrupters that can be installed permanently by any qualified electrician. The last includes extra precautions around the home. Make sure to place all candles in non-flammable holders and away from anywhere that they could be knocked down and especially away from your Christmas tree. Children as well are susceptible to swallowing or inhaling small pieces and avoid decorations that resemble candy or food. Fire places as well should not be obstructed or left unattended. Be on alert in the kitchen and keep an eye on guests that smoke if you plan to entertain. And please ensure that your smoke detectors are functioning as part of your regular smoke detection maintenance.

WASHINGTON — Another coalition of conservation groups is suing to stop President Donald Trump's cuts to Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. The lawsuit filed Thursday by 11 organizations including the Sierra Club is the fifth legal challenge to Trump's reductions to Bear Ears and Grand Stair-

case-Escalante national monuments. It is the third lawsuit focused on Bears Ears, which has land considered sacred to a coalition of Native American tribes. The complaint echoes arguments made in the two previous Bears Ears lawsuits, claiming that Trump exceeded his power

and jeopardized protections for ``irreplaceable archaeological sites.'' Past presidents have trimmed national monuments 18 times, but there's never been a court ruling about whether the 1906 Antiquities Act _ which allows presidents to create a monument _ also lets them reduce one.

Chief Irv Powless: Legend and friend By Doug George-Kanentiio

I met the late Onondaga rotiane Irv Powless 40 years ago when I enrolled as a student at Syracuse University in 1977. In my class were a number of Onondagas including Barry Powless, the son of Irv. Barry was an exceptional lacrosse player in the tradition of his family, clearly the best stickhandler on the SU team. Also in that historical class were Freida Jacques, later a clanmother, Ronnie Leigh Papineau-Goeman, a nationally acclaimed basketmaker, and Wendy Huff, a Seneca educator. There were 30 Iroquois students at that time somewhat adrift in a school which did little to connect with the native people in New York or the Onondaga Nation just south of campus. We organized as a group called the Onkwehonweh:neha and got the

The late Irving Powless was a good friend to many. FACEBOOK PHOTO BARRY POWLESS school's attention when we demanded the removal of the Saltine Warrior, SU's mascot. That tomahawk wielding lunatic had no place in an institute of higher learning but the challenge was how to remove it without rancor. We decided to submit the issue to the Onondaga Nation Council

of which Irv Powless was a member along with his father Irving Powless Sr. They were then known as "young man Irv" and "old man Irv" across the Confederacy. Both were former athletes who played lacrosse against and with the Mohawks with my uncle Angus "Shine" George a noted opponent.

We asked the Onondaga Nation to serve as mediators in the mascot issue and in turn they opened the longhouse doors to the Lamda Chi fraternity which sponsored the Saltine Warrior. Over the course of a few hours the frat brothers presented their case for retaining the mascot

tions, including taxes, on products sold on native territory to non-natives. There was serious disagreement internally as to the regulation of commerce particularly tobacco. The Onondaga Nation had recently emerged from a conflict in which two tobacco outlets run by individuals were shut down and the merchants banished. The tensions caused by this were only gradually diminishing but New York was determined to collect money from the Iroquois. Chief Powless was the lead negotiator in a series of meetings with the State which took place from August, 1996 to May of the next year. He used his verbal skills and his deep knowledge about the Confederacy's political history to gradually persuade the State into understanding why the issue of taxation was one

then listened to Chief Powless Jr. and the other Onondaga leaders when they explained the harm these cartoonish figures caused to native people. Chief Powless was particularly diplomatic, guiding them to understand the need to remove the Warrior. At the meeting's end Lambda Chi endorsed our position and the Warrior was retired. I saw Chief Powless on many other occasions in which he used his intelligence to get people to understand why the Onondaga Nation was insistent on retaining its historical status as an independent entity. He spoke with passion about his people in whatever forum presented itself, never wavering in his defense of the Confederacy even as he counseled for peace. In 1996 the Confederacy was confronted by a crisis involving the attempts by New York State to impose severe restric-

Chief Irv Powless continued from page 16 of sovereignty based upon aboriginal and treaty law. I recall one meeting in Albany when the State representatives spoke with pride about the hundreds of statutes it had regarding taxation, the environment, hunting and fishing, all of which were areas of contention between itself and the Confederacy. The State then asked if the Iroquois had anything in comparison. It was then that Chief Powless rose and used his famous common sense to respond. He said the Iroquois has only four rules about hunting and fishing, about life in general. The State delegates were surprised but intrigued. What, they wanted to know, were those four rules in contrast to its thousands of regulations? The Iroquois laws Chief Powless said were: One, take only what you need; Two, use all of which you take; Three, be thankful for all of which you have and; Four, leave things better that when you found them.

Such was Chief Irv's clarity that the State came to agree to every position taken by the Confederacy. Unfortunately the internal opposition among the Senecas of Cattaraugus and Allegany and the Oneida Nation of New York (the governments there are not part of the Confederacy) led to the breakdown of what would have been an historic Trade and Commerce compact. Yet the negotiations were critical in having New York state retreat overall from trying to impose sales taxes on Native lands and that was largely due to the tact of Chief Powless. So whenever a person buys anything on our territories without having to pay state taxes we can all thank Chief Powless to taking a stand and refusing to compromise on the Native right to self-regulation. Chief Powless showed his leaderships in many other areas from the building of the Onondaga arena to the securing of the World Indoor La-

crosse Championships on Onondaga territory in 2015. He was a good and friendly man ever ready to tell a story or to share a laugh. Over the decades I knew him I never heard him raise his voice in anger or speak with hostility about any person. When I think of what it requires to be a rotiane in the best sense Chief Powless exemplified this in every instance of his 88 years and for that I am grateful. On another note for years I tried to persuade Chief Powless to summarize his life in book form. He was reluctant to do so given his preference for the spoken word. I asked Lesley Forester to meet Irv and see if they could replicate the success of her work with Tom Porter Sakokwanonkwas's And Grandma Said memoir. It took some time but Irv's book Who Are These People Anyway was published by, ironically, Syracuse University Press in 2016. Well done Daha'tgatdohs.

Santa should be the only one breaking in this Christmas Weiser’s tips for securing your home this holiday season MISSISSAUGA – It’s that time of the year when Canadians begin to book train tickets and flights or plan a road trip for a holiday escape. “In Canada, a break-in happens every 90 seconds,” says Steve Kolobaric of Weiser, one of Canada’s lockset manufacturers. “It is especially important to know how to protect ourselves and our valuables during times when our homes are most vulnerable.” Here`s some tips for home protection and things to keep in mind before heading out the door for an extended period over the holidays: 1. Be wary of social media. As fun as it might be to brag about that family vacation and your escape of Canada’s harsh and bitter winter, “checking-in” and posting other statuses about your current whereabouts is like advertising that your home is sitting empty and at risk for thieves

and break-ins. Wait until you’ve safely returned home to upload all of your great selfies and family snaps. 2. Lock your doors. Might seem like an obvious tip — but it would surprise most homeowners to find out that nearly half of all burglaries occur simply by walking through an unlocked front door. It’s important that all doors — front, back and side doors — have a reliable lockset with a working deadbolt lock. All exterior doors should have deadbolts with at least a one-inch throw bolt. 3. Have a trusted neighbour check in from time to time. Whether it is to clear out your mailbox or shovel your driveway, it’s great to have someone checking in on your property, especially if you plan on being gone for a longer period; however, do not try the “hidea-key” approach, in order to give them access. Most criminals know about the best hiding spots: under the mat, mailbox, top of door frame, etc.

It’s better and far more secure to install a secure lock that enables you to provide access to specific people: 4. Hide your valuables. If you have a safe, great. But if not, ensure you’re keeping things like laptops, expensive cameras, stereos and other equipment away from all windows. Tuck them away in closets, drawers and other safe spots away from visible locations that can be seen from the outside. 5. Set an electronic timer for lights. This is a great way to keep up regular lighting patterns as opposed to just having one porch or living room light on at all times — a dead giveaway. You can also do this for some radio and television sets to simulate normal use and noise. “Make sure that the only person breaking and entering into your home this season is Santa Claus,” adds Kolobaric. “With these easy, common sense tips you can rest easy knowing your house is safe and secure this holiday season.”

SIX NATIONS – On Saturday December 9, 2017, at 4:04 a.m., the Six Nations Police received a report that a vehicle, owned by the Hamilton Police Service, had been stolen and was being tracked driving south on Highway 6 from Hamilton. Six Nations Police were prepared in the event the vehicle came onto Six Nations. When informed by police dispatch that the stolen vehicle had turned onto 5th Line Road from Highway 6, Six Nations Officers deployed a spike belt on 5th Line Road at Cayuga Road.

The vehicle struck the spike belts but continued past the intersection to an address on 5th Line Road where a lone male suspect was arrested after a brief foot chase. The suspect was arrested and later handed over to Hamilton Police officers. Charged is 28-year-old, Brett Jonathan Elliott Jr. of Cayuga Road, Ohsweken. The Six Nations Police continue to investigate.

Stolen vehicle destroyed by fire - suspect arrested HALDIMAND COUNTY – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Haldimand

County Detachment has charged an 18-year-old male with multiple criminal offences after investigating a motor vehicle theft from a Celtic Drive, Caledonia, Haldimand County, Ontario address.

A suspect was identified by a witness. At 11:00 p.m., OPP responded to Stuart Street for a report of a vehicle fire. A witness in this incident reported a male was seen running north bound on Stuart Street shortly after the fire had started. A description of the male suspect was provided. The vehicle, which

was confirmed to be the stolen Silverado, was destroyed by fire. OPP investigation led officers to an address where the male suspect was located and arrested. While officers searched the male, more property was recovered.

Brantford Police warn of local CRA fraud scam BRANTFORD – The Brantford Police Service wishes to remind everyone of the importance of crime prevention and fraud education. The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) scam continues where random citizens are telephoned by fraudsters posing as an investigator from Revenue Canada. The common theme is that the fraudster identifies him or herself as an investigator with Revenue Canada. The fraudster tells the victim that they failed to respond to communications and now there is a warrant out for their arrest and they risk going to jail unless they pay a fee immediately. The fraudster uses aggressive tones and high-pressured tactics to scare the victim into paying money in order to avoid incarceration. A 34-year-old Brantford man received a tele-

phone call from a fraudster claiming he was an employee from the CRA and that there was a warrant out for his arrest. The Brantford man was told he could avoid being taken into custody if he paid $4,000, however if he decided to fight it in court, there would be an increased fine of $9,700. The fraudster advised that he would be sending someone from the Brantford Police Service to arrest him. The fraudster then asked the victim for the number for the Brantford Police Service and he provided it to the fraudster. After the phone call was disconnected the victim received a telephone call from an individual impersonating a Brantford Police Officer. The call display on the victim’s phone identified the number as belonging to the Brantford Police Service. Although the victim was pressured he did

The CRA will not; 1. Ask for personal information by email or text message. 2. Request payment by prepaid credit card or wire transfer. 3. Share your tax information with another person or organization unless you agree that it can be shared. 4. Leave personal information on an answering machine. 5. Threaten or use nasty language. 6. Threaten to send police to arrest you.

The Brantford Police Service would not contact an individual from our community and threaten to arrest them due to an outstanding Canadian Revenue Agency debt. Caller ID is a great tool; however, this information

Grandma versus Children`s Aid Dear Editor, I am so happy to be able to share our pain with so many — thank you. I am the grandmother of two grandchildren who were taken from their parents. The CAS removed my grandchild from her parents, it began with a phone call. My son came to my apartment in emotional pain saying that the CAS would be coming to take her from the apartment, saying that it was unsuitable for her. I told him not to worry that she could stay with me. Three workers came to talk to us and saw that our home was suitable, and then said that it wasn’t. Their behaviour was very bizarre and they all disappeared. There are only two women at the CAS who have returned our calls and I have heard them laughing in the back-

ground as if everything that we tried to say was a joke to them. They hung up on us with no return calls. They have lied about appointments that never existed and telling us that it was their fault and in return blaming us. One day a man came to the door and I saw his name on a paper he had dropped — I asked him if that was his name — he then walked away. His name was George Beemer. He also disappeared. Then my children have went to appointments all the way to Toronto where they were told that there was no such appointment. The CAS are supposed to help to keep families together and instead they caused us pain and sorrow. In God we Trust and I believe that my grandchildren will be brought back to their parents.

Funding promised for child welfare on reserve

OTTAWA — The next federal budget will include more money for First Nations child welfare services on reserves, Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott said Wednesday. Phillpott spoke at the AFN Special Chiefs Assembly and said the Liberal government wants to amend funding discrepancies in the resources available to Indigenous children as compared to non-Indigenous kids. Outstanding concerns about chronic underfunding of First Nations child welfare services has been at the centre of a legal battle at the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, which issued multiple rulings urging the government to make more resources available.

NatioN News all our relations.

Indigenous leaders sounding alarm over implications of legal pot regime The Canadian Press OTTAWA — Indigenous leaders looking at the prospect of legalized marijuana in Canada say they don't see a route to riches, but rather a serious risk that the black market in pot will set its sights on their vulnerable communities. Isadore Day, the Ontario regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said Tuesday he fears for Indigenous community safety because the federal government is moving too quickly with its plans to legalize pot by July 2018. ``First Nations are not just looking at this as a cash cow,'' Day said in an interview. ``We have very legitimate concerns and fears about what legalization of cannabis is going to do, the types of things it is ...potentially going to create in our communities.'' Day called it embarrassing that Indigenous leaders weren't invited to take part in Monday's meeting of finance ministers, and said he and Quebec Regional Chief Ghislain Picard are leading discussions on how First Nations communities will address the impacts of legal pot. ``This is a problem and I don't think that there's been a deep dive done yet on the full breadth of implications on our communities,'' said Day, who called it ``backwards'' that Ottawa would commit to a cost-sharing agreement without Indigenous leaders in the room. On Monday, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced a two-year deal that will see Ottawa give 75 per cent of tax reve-

nues to the provinces and territories while Ottawa retains 25 per cent, to a maximum of $100 million a year. Morneau, who originally floated a 50-50 split, said larger share will allow the provinces and territories to fairly deal with costs and allow for them to work with municipalities, who have also advocated for at least a third of the revenue. Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott said the implications of legal cannabis for Indigenous communities are being discussed, including at a special chiefs gathering held last week in Ottawa by the Assembly of First Nations. ``It certainly has come up on many occasions,'' she said. Day has also raised concerns that the federal government won't cover the cost of medicinal marijuana for people living on reserve, even though they do for other medically necessary drugs. ``We entered into treaties,'' he said. ``We have to stand our ground ... the right to have health care covered ... we will continue to push so that applies.'' Cannabis is not currently eligible for coverage through the First Nations Inuit health branch, Health Canada confirmed Tuesday, noting medications must meet appropriate criteria, including a drug identification number, a doctor's prescription and dispensation by a pharmacist. ``There are no forms of medical cannabis that currently meet these conditions,'' the department said in a statement.

Ridding the Indian Act of sexism could cost $400M a year, budget watchdog warns The Canadian Press OTTAWA — The parliamentary budget office says efforts to eliminate sexism from the Indian Act — which in some cases continues to allow fathers, but not mothers, to pass along their First Nations status — could cost more than $400 million a year. The budget watchdog says legislation to remove the inequality, as amended by the Senate, would effectively extend eligibility for registration under the act to all persons with First Nations ancestry. The report says the original bill would have made 28,000 to 35,000 additional First Nations persons eligible to register, but the Senate changes would extend that eligibility to 670,000 people, although the bud-

opinion

get office estimated only 270,000 would actually claim status. The budget office says the total cost for the original proposal is estimated to be $19 million for up-front administrative costs and $55 million a year to cover service extensions and tax exemptions. The cost for the amended proposal is estimated at $71 million in administrative costs and $407 million a year in continuing costs. The report acknowledges a high degree of uncertainty in the PBO's numbers, since there is little evidence about how many people might register or want to live on reserves. ``The full annual costs will not be realized until eligible persons are registered, which will take many years,'' it said.

Before 1985, the Indian Act favoured men because registered women who married unregistered men lost their status, whereas registered men who married unregistered women retained their status and conferred that status on their wives and children. There were efforts to remedy the inequity in 1985 and 2010, but a 2015 Quebec court case found that discrimination against Aboriginal women and their descendants was still a problem, prompting the latest legislation. The budget office looked at the costs by assuming that, as numbers of registered people rose, Parliament would have to proportionately increase funding for benefits to maintain current service levels for health and education benefits. It

also assumed that if there is significant migration to reserves, Parliament would also raise funding for programs on reserves. There are also tax exemptions that apply to people with status. ``These program and tax expenditures cost an average of $18,433 a year per resident on reserve, consisting primarily of education, health care, income assistance, and the tax exemption for income earned on reserve.'' The report says, however, that only two per cent of people who gain Indian status from the legislation are expected to move to a reserve. It also says that three per cent of non-status First Nations persons —who are assumed to be among those gaining formal status — already live on reserve.

Social workers in need to assist those affected from gun violence By Makayla Valdez

Makayla Valdez is a firstyear student in the Social Work Program at Wilfred Laurier University It grows more and more difficult to absorb the horrors of gun violence when watching the news lately. Flipping through channels on TV can cause fear or make you nervous knowing you might see more innocent lives lost due to another mass shooting. Some Americans and Canadians continue to live in panic and paranoia due to the lack of gun control — the laws to enforce these issues are long over-

due. Shootings have become so frequent and some people tend to forget about all of the other victims and whom they have affected. Social workers must respond and be there to support those who have been victimized. You can list at least three gun attacks that have occurred worldwide in the past 20 years. In recent years, there has a been significant growth of gun violence from individuals of various age groups. There are more than enough examples of mass shootings that occurred in both Canada and the U.S. Back in 1999, the Colum-

bine High School Massacre took place in Denver, killing 12 students and one teacher, leaving 21 injured. On January 29th, 2017, a single gun man murdered six people and wounded 18 others in Quebec City. Recently, on October 1st 2017, a lone gunman attacked a festival in Las Vegas, Nevada leaving at least 58 casualties and hundreds more wounded. In 2015 there were approximately 372 mass shootings in the U.S. and thousands of deaths. Evidently, there is not enough accessible resources for the amount of victimization that has occurred. Growing up in a town

that has not experienced this type of violence, I am able to live my life freely with little terror. Like many other daughters, my parents took precautions to ensure my safety, up until I already knew the drill, and could be responsible enough to be on my own. My parents have taught me the importance of safety and learning how to be "street smart". During high school, I could bus from town to town on my own. I could go out with my friends at night without having my parents panic. I could have an ideal adolescent life. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Social workers continued Unfortunately, this is not the case for many others. I have been lucky enough to have a care free life in regards to gun control and gun violence. Sadly, those who have lost someone through gun violence or been victims of gun violence live their lives with mistrust. It is easy to forget about the deaths and the heartbreak; it is even easier to move on for those who have not experienced anything as

horrid as this. However, there are thousands of individuals who have been affected by these events; whether it’s personal family and friends, or children who live nearby where the incidents happened. Primary, secondary, and tertiary victims are all affected by gun violence greatly. Parents have lost their children, spouses have lost their significant others, and some children are left orphans.

You can only imagine what others are going through if you have not experienced this personally. It’s very difficult to relate to someone who has had a loved one taken from them through murder. In small towns, there are parents who fear the safety of their children, there are widows who wake up alone every morning, and young ones taking care of their siblings to try and fill the shoes of their lost guardian. Thousands of lives have changed from one violent act.

It is not enough to try to debate on increasing strict laws of gun control, but it is something to try and ease the pain of the aftermath. Strangers offer moments of silence and pay tribute for these victims, but that can only do so much for their loved ones. It takes strength and courage to ask someone for personal aid; and frankly, not everyone has it. It is time for social workers to extend their helping hands and reach out to those who have been influenced by such acts.

84 Latest Pokemon arrives for XMAS

Pokemon: Ultra Sun & Moon Review (Nintendo DS)

By Chezney Martin The latest release from Game Freak is the next rendition of the on-going Pokémon adventure series dubbed Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon; which was released on November 17 — right in time for the game to make the wish lists of Pokémon fans around the world. This is not the first time the franchise has sold multiple versions of the same game. Gamefreak released Pokémon Blue first and then later released Pokémon Sapphire with a redesign and updated story — hence; Pokémon Sun and Moon. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have both been seen as meaty RPGs while holding all of the cut-scenes in Sun and Moon as expanded chunks in this revisited storyline. The makers of this rendition are Kasumasa Iwao who first worked on Pokémon Black and White, and Shigeru Ohmori who first worked on Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. The duo hope that players will enjoy the pieces of the story that were taken from earlier versions, and have created a storyline that includes island living, worm holes, ultra beasts, Team Skull and so much more that were first seen in Pokémon Sun. But the Pokémon Ultra versions promised new Pokémon and a few new gems to uncover. In the first three days of sales 1,199,814 copies were purchased, and the

Artwork for the latest release Pokemon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon which are multiple versions of the same game. game has earned itself four stars on Metacritic. Yet some of the older Pokémon fans find the newness of the games hard to swallow. However, the production staff of the Pokémon anime has changed four times since the release of the Indigo League, so we have to offer a bit of leniency when we see something old become something new. This crack at newness and evolution is something that is pretty pleasing to the eyes in Ultra Sun, but the game process might take a toll on impatient players. Let's dive right in. The beginning of the game is the same-old as a professor asks you for your information, but a new piece of this process is the selection of an avatar. Players get to choose their own skin tones and later on in the game will be given the opportunity to collect, buy and change their choice of clothes to

PRO-TIP Make sure to turn on your ‘key item’ Exp. Share. It makes fast work of training, as all six Pokémon in your party can earn experience points from battles.

make outfits for their avatars. Players then find themselves in the Alola region, which is much like the real-life Hawaiian Islands. Characters in the game will greet with “Alola!” and players are able to visit an in-game island in Poke Pelago to retrieve Poke Beans and interact with their Pokémon in storage. Ultra Sun also has some new ways of working with your Pokémon. Rather than simply battling, feeding berries and poffins to help bond with your Pokémon, you can now clean them up after a battle with your stylus and use Pokémon Restore to pet and interact with them. This is semi-reminiscent of the relationships players could build with the system in Nintendogs, but it adds extra time to each battle. And as you find out later on, rather than battling gym trainers and leaders of a specific type — you battle trainers, a totem Pokémon trained by a Trial Captain and its helpers and finally a Hakuna. When you battle the totem Pokémon and the Hakuna by entering a trial and grand trial you do not

receive a gym badge, but a Z-crystal which is another concept that has changed set both Sun versions apart in Pokémon. The concept of Pokémon having powers and abilities is age-old, but within Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon these powers and abilities can be further enhanced by Z-crystals to enable a special move for a specific type of attack that can only be used once in battle. While the overall storyline begins at a much slower pace than the for-

mer games, it invokes an actual sense of meaning as your avatar is oftentimes given the option of selecting how to respond to questions and trials, making the adventure more personal. The layout and design of the islands and interaction formats is also astonishingly beautiful in comparison to the former games, but not being able to have full mobility of view as in games like Call of Duty can take away from the experience. Yet, the game seems to whisk you away to a string of four tropical islands and really makes it feel like you're on a vacation when you play it, with the only detriment being that you have to remember to train your Pokémon so that they'll have your back when things get tough — and things definitely do. All in all, this game would be a great last addition to any game collection and a great last-minute Christmas gift, as Nintendo preps for its Nintendo Switch debut. Just some extra gems to take note of: Rowlet is likely the

better choice of the three starter Pokémon, taking into account the type of Pokémon you will first encounter. The Pokedex is hosted by the Ghost type Pokémon Rotom, and he helps to keep track of and maintain the core story. Instead of riding a bike or using HMs, you get to ride a selection of different Pokémon instead as you conquer different main story missions. Your character is only 11 years old and moved to the Alola Region from the Kanto Region. The Exp. Share is phenomenal and makes fast work of training, as all six Pokémon in your party can earn exp. points from battles. Mantine surfing is a thing. As well, if you purchase either Pokémon Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon Before January 11, you can receive a special gift of a rare Lycanroc Dusk Form that comes as its first evolution Rockruff. Simply select the Mystery Gift option in the continue game screen once you establish an internet connection.

The Anime art style is even more in fashion and although the game is geared for children it is popular with nostalgic adults as well.

Internet about to get owned

American congress will soon be voting to give corporations more power and control over the internet. As it stands now internet providers cannot pick and choose what types of information are sent through their services but if congress votes to remove net neutrality you could pay more for content provided from internet competitors. A report from The Verge says that US lawmakers took $101 million dollars from lobbyists for the Internet Service Provider industry. Trump is pushing and it doesn`t look good. Republican commissioners are expected to vote to repeal most of the net neutrality rules this Thursday, those greedy bastards!

Bitcoin sails past $22,000

Cryptocurrency is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Bitcoin is the flagship brand of cryptocurrency and it is currently rising in value gaining $12,000 in only one week. If you spent $100 investment in bitcoin seven years ago your money would be worth over $28,000 today! There is no ceiling to the value of bitcoin and some analysts say it will eventually become the next layer of the internet marking it a major evolution for humanity`s digital future. Others say the value of Bitcoin may drop after net neutrality is repealed and the entire internet is ruined, Thursday.

Getting ready for Infinity War By Jonathan Garlow

Avengers: Infinity War’s trailer has been released and the cinematic experience is set to debut May 4, 2018. If you haven’t been paying attention there is a subtle back story unfolding with each Marvel movie that has been slowly building into a war for the Infinity Stones — the ultimate power.

In the MCU mythos the six Infinity Gems are the shattered remnants of one of the earliest beings from the time of the creation of the Universe. Each gem is a different colour and grants its wielder a special power. They are more powerful when used together in unison. Power Gem (Purple) – Increases strength and durability. Enhances virtually any known superhuman ability. It amplifies the power of the other gems. This gem is in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Time Gem (Green) – Time travel; stop, slow down or speed up flow of time; accelerate or slow down aging; see into past/future. Seen in Doc-

tor Strange.

Space Gem (Blue) – Travel through space, mostly through teleportation. Able to interfere with the motion of other objects. The most famous gem that Loki used as the Tesseract in Thor, Captain America and The Avengers.

Soul Gem (unknown colour) – Observe, attack or even steal a being's soul or spirit. Also used to revert individuals to their natural state. Comic lore says the Soul Gem is sentient. Not yet seen in film. Reality Gem (Red) – Alters all of reality; similar to the effects of a Cosmic Cube, but much, much higher. This stone is in Thor: The Dark World.

Mind Gem (Yellow) – Near-limitless psionic/ psychic abilities including empathy, telepathy and telekinesis. This gem was in four movies, The Avengers, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War. It’s embedded in Vision’s forehead. These Infinity Gems/ Stones were the focus of a six-issue comic book series published by Marvel Comics in 1991 called The Infinity Gauntlet. Stan Lee invented comic book heroes Thor, Iron Man and The Hulk in the early 1960s. Although his young fan base still remembered WWII and hated war, as a challenge Lee based Iron Man on the eccentric billionaire and war profiteer Howard Hughes. It’s funny that he thought readers wouldn’t like Iron Man in the beginning because the series became an international hit. The Iron Man movies have brought in more than $2 billion in box offices worldwide and the entire Marvel Universe (17 films to date) has generated more than $13 billion in total.

Corvairs pound Pelham 8-2 By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The Pelham Panthers were pounded 8-2 by the Corvairs, Saturday night the Haldimand Arena in Caledonia. Outside or a span of about four minutes when Pelham scored two goals, the rest of the night was played at the Pelham end of the ice where Caledonia shooters barraged the Pelham goal with 48 shots compared to 29 shots from the sticks of the Panthers. It was 3-0 after the first period and 6-2 after two periods. Leading the Caledonia charge were Adam Craievich (2G,2A), Bailey Fletcher (2G), TJ Hughes (1G,1A), Jamie Lauzon (1G), Sean O’Brien (1G), Bobby Harrison (1G). Pelham goal scorers, were Petter Izzo, and Noah Caperchione. The Niagara Falls Canucks got the hometown crowd into the game early with Matthew Riva getting one past Brandon McCorriston to give them a 1-0 lead over the visiting Corvairs, Friday night. The good start soon turned bad after the Corvairs shook off the buslegs, beginning at 6:37 when Adam Craievich made it a whole new game. That was followed in succession by Eddie Schulz, Craievich’s second, and Jesse Burwell’s goal shorthanded and unassisted. Craievich made it a hattrick at 13:31 of the second

HAGERSVILLE – It took overtime to do it but the Hagersville Hawks posted a 5-4 win Saturday night in Hagersville. The Hawks are off to a horrific start to the 2018 season with eight wins, counting Saturday night, 14 losses and two ties for 18 points, but in recent games have shown signs of life. Hawks goalie Steven Horvat put in a great game in the Hagersville goal turning back 48 of 52 Port Dover shots. Late in the first period Hawks’ Jacob Laurantani scored from Riley Pinkney and Nick Visser and then assisted on Ralph Taggart’s second period goal for a 2-0 Hagersville lead at 3:06. It didn’t stand as the Sailors suddenly put three past Horvat in a four minutes to take a 3-2 second period lead. Dover’s Eric Mueller scored with Hayden

James Bradshaw brought the Hawks back to a one goal deficit at 14:52 and Riley Ricker put the game into OT where Wesley Fritz scored, unassisted, the winning goal at 4:12 of OT. It was a small step but an important step nonetheless for Hagersville who will try to ride the win against the second place Grimsby Peach Kings, Tuesday, Dec. 12, in Hagersville. The Hawks then take the rest of the week off to get ready for the first place Glanbrook Regals, Saturday, Dec. 16, at the Hagersville Arena before the rematch against the Sailors, this time in Port Dover, Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. in Simcoe.

The Punisher looking for Win By Jonathan Garlow

Brigette Lacquette (above) is from a small Metis community three hours away from Winnipeg. Her dream is to play defense for the Canadian Olympic team.

First Indigenous woman to vie for Olympic Hockey By TRT Staff MANITOBA – Brigette Lacquette, 24, a defenseman with beginnings in the small community of Mallard, is now vying to secure a position on the defensive end of the Canadian Women's Hockey Team set to head to the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea in 2018. “It's something that I've worked my whole life for,” said Lacquette in an interview with CBC. “It's honestly pretty amazing and you know I'm just trying to focus at the task at hand and practise hard day in and day out.” More than a century ago the first recorded women's hockey game took place in 1892 in Barrie, Canada, according to the Canadian Hockey Association. However, many of the frustrations that her predecessors that played in the male-dominated sport faced, Lacquette has overcome and more as an indigenous player. And when asked about

who she looked up to in the sport, she mentioned a familiar face to the NHL. “When I started to really watch hockey it was really like Jodan Tootoo when he played in the World Juniors, he was kind of someone that I looked up to,” she said. “I just remember watching him and being like 'wow that's super cool,' and him being the first Inuit to play on Team Canada was pretty amazing.” However, her role has since become that of Tootoo's as she has become a female role model and athlete herself. “[Being a role model is] still in the back of my mind when I do these camps or go and speak at these reserves,” she said. “Growing up in Mallard it was kind of like I never really thought I would end up playing on Team Canada one day, or you know, even make it as far as I did.” Her hometown is a small Metis community “in the middle of nowhere” roughly three

hours outside of Winnipeg, and her father would make the hour drive to practice twice a week when she began playing. “When hockey was starting to get more serious it moved to four hours a week,” she said. And as part of her own dedication, Lacquette explained that her parents played one of the biggest roles in her centralization. “Because they were the ones who took the time to take me to practice and made it possible for me to continue playing after I fell in love with the game,” she said in an interview with Jason La Rose. “ “It has been my dream to play on Team Canada for quite some time.” Her own goal to become a part of Team Canada “sunk in” back in 2008 when she was first invited to a U18 camp where her and her team took silver medals. She has also noted that her participation in the sport has given her friendships around the world.

Winston Matthews, aka Jus Win “The Punisher”, has been training hard looking to win an upcoming pro boxing match this Saturday, December 16th versus Gregory Miller (0-2) at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga. Matthews left the amateur league with a 10-1 record but was put up against the stiffest competition in pro which permanently affected his record. Fighting out of Brantford’s Black Eye Boxing Club, Matthews (1-2-2) was a contestant on a reality TVshow in Jamaica called the Contestant earlier this year and suffered two tough losses. Closely matched in skill, Matthews lost to veteran fighter Sakima Mullings (20-2) in a close decision that some observers thought should have went to Matthews. “It was my best experience in the ring. I didn’t walk away with the win but I gained a lot of experience,” Matthews said about his loss there.

Jus Win The Punisher (left) will be facing Gregory Miller (right) this upcoming Saturday, December 16th in Mississauga. SUBMITED PHOTO Jus Win fights with finesse and his graceful style seems almost kung fu. “It’s weird. I used to watch a lot of wing chun, I’m really into wing chun,” Matthews said. Wing chun was a martial art made famous by Bruce Lee. “Naturally it comes out. I try to be nice with the footwork.” When asked about how

he feels going into the ring this Saturday, “Feeling real good. My friends, fans and family have been waiting for a win from me so I’m going to bring one home for Christmas.” Tickets are available online at ticketmaster.com or hersheycentre.com. Fights start at 6 p.m. there are a total of 8 bouts on the card.

Ducks not lucky in OT By Jim Windle ANAHEIM – Holding onto leads this month seems to be the Anaheim Ducks weakest link. Since December 1st the ducks have been unsuccessful in three overtime situations. Monday, they dodged that possibility by holding off a late game rally by the Hurricanes to take a 3-2 win. Carolina tilted the rink in the Hurricanes favour at 1:37 with Justin Williams’ goal but the Ducks righted the ship at 5:55 with Derek Grant’s sixth of the season. Jacob Silfverberg accounted for the only second period goal by giving Anaheim a 2-1 lead with 35 seconds remaining in the period. Local Shaw scored his second goal as a Duck early in the third period. For a commanding 3-1 lead in a game where goals were not easy to get. But at 17:20, Victor Rask scored to bring the teams one goal apart with less that thee minutes remaining.

It looked for a time that the Ducks were going to be going to overtime where they have not had good luck. John Gibson stood his ground against final blast from the Hurricanes to win the contest 3-2. Before Monday’s game, the Ducks organization were looking for a positive spin on their recent string of overtime appearances. “The Ducks extended their standings points streak to four straight games (1-0-3, 5 pts.) along with points in five of the last six (2-1-3, 7 pts.) following a 3-2 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild,” according to Ducks media director. But another way of looking at it is that the Ducks have lost three OT games so far this month. Yes, they have produced points, but not as many as they could or even should have. “It's frustrating. It feels like we're tentative. I don't want to speak for the other guys, but it just seems like we can't seem to create any

Montour No.26. SUBMITTED PHOTO offensive chances,” says Cam Fowler. The good news is that so far in December, Six Nations Brandon Montour and Brantford’s Adam Henrique have been lighting them up despite the only one win so far in December. Adam Henrique has earned six points while Montour has added three points so far in December to lead all Anaheim blue liners with six goals and 10 assists in 30 games played. Last season after 57 starts Montour scored eight and assisted on 14, putting him well ahead of last season’s output.

Blast still trying to start the fire By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – If the game was only 20 minutes long, the Brantford Blast would have been celebrating an important win over the Whitby Dunlops Friday night at the Brantford Civic Centre. But it isn’t and there was no celebration in the Blast dressing room after the final buzzer sounded. Brantford’s Mark Taylor and Justin Abraham gave the Blast a 2-0 first period lead with Brett Leggat standing firm against 22 Whitby shots. It was a tighter played second period for both teams but it was Whitby doing the scoring with Kyle Venture and Chris Purves bringing the teams even at 2-2 after 40 minutes of play. The Dunlops shocked the Blast seven-seconds after the face-off for the third period, but Brantford got that back after Dunlops’ Darren Doherty took a double slashing call at 1:48 but Charlie Stephens tied it again on the subsequent powerplay. Doherty had a chance to make amends for his costly

penalty the he was awarded a penalty shot at 6:08, but the veteran Blast goaltender stoned him to keep the score even. What would stand as the game winner was scored by Whitby’s Kevin George at 8:39 and padded with Tyler Melancon’s 5-3 goal scored at 11:29. The Blast has fallen back into the basement of the Allan Cup Hockey league with two wins and eight losses for six points. The Stoney Creek Generals are in first with a reverse record of eight wins and two losses. Next Friday, Dec. 15th, the league leading Generals will test the Blast at the Civic Centre in Brantford at 7:30 p.m.

Bantams fall to Tornados By Jim Windle

OHSWEKEN – The Six Nations Southern County Bantam C Blackhawks lost a 5-4 heartbreaker, Sunday afternoon at the Gaylord Powless Arena. Mitchell VanEvery got things going in the first period with his 1-0 goal assists by Bun Hill and Blair Green but early in the second frame, Tillsonburg got that back and another for good measure taking a 2-1 lead. Tillsonburg scored on a rebound and scored again with a pass out from behind the net that bounced in off the goalie’s equipment and in to put Tillson-

burg up 4-2. Damon Déclare scored a weird one after his shot was initially blocked by the Tillsonburg goalie but the puck walked up his arm, overs shoulder, down his back and into the net and it was 4-3. Eventually, the score evened out at 4-4 and Six Nations and with 5:49 left in the game, Tillsonburg got the game winner and Six Nations could not muster that last goal to send the game into OT. RIGHT: It was a hard-fought Bantam hockey game played at the Gaylord Powless Arena Sunday that produced great action, and a 5-4 win for the visiting Tillsonburg Tornados. Photo by Jim Windle

Another shut out for Ashlee By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS – Six Nations PeeWee No. 2, LL Blackhawks under coach Dennis MacDonald overpowered the visiting Tillsonburg team, 4-0 at the Gaylord Powless Arena Sunday afternoon. Six

Nations goalie, Ashlee Laforme was equal to the task in the Six Nations goal and made several saves worthy of the shutout honours. Anthony General got things started after a scoreless first period, converting a Davin Mac-

Donald pass into Six Nations first goal of the afternoon. Nelson Jamieson added a second Six Nations goal from Easton Thomas before the period ended while Laforme was shoring up the Six Nations’ net. That is where the

score stayed until, with 43 seconds left, MacDonald scored off the goalpost for the 3-0 lead and Thomas pit a lid on it with one second left for the 4-0 Six Nations win.

Six Nations boxer “Razor” Hess goes pro By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – It has been the dream of Six Nations’ boxer Karl “the Razor” Hess, to be a professional Boxer since he first walked up the steps to Brantford’s Black-Eye Boxing Club and asked to meet with Jackie Armour in 2011. Wednesday night that dream was made a reality with the signing of his Ontario Boxing Pro Card. At the same time, Hess was signed as a stable fighter for United Boxing Promotions who will handle promotions for Hess as he works his way through the pro ranks. “It seems like only yesterday, but I guess it has been a while, recalls Armour. "I think it was 2011 when he first walked into the gym. I knew then he was a pro-athlete but he had to pick that as his main goal, and now, here it is.” There was a brief hiccup in that space of time when Hess wondered himself if this is what he really wanted. After two fights, he did well in both of them, Hess took a little time off. “It’s hard to be a fighter,” says Armour. “You’ve got to be really dedicated to it 100 per cent and he just wasn’t there yet.” When he walked in the door about a year, year and a half ago, I knew he was back to fight. Since then, Armour and assistant coach Robbie Rutherford, have watched Hess mature into a solid

Six Nations Welterweight boxer Karl "the Razor" Hess signed both his Professional Boxing Card and his first pro-contract with United Boxing Promotions out of Toronto. It is a fiveyear deal that will promise a minimum of two fights a year, however United Boxing's Tyler Buxton is shooting for four to six a year knowing how ready Hess is.

Sometimes I go home with sore ribs after working out with him.” Turning pro is a big

step. Even as a novice pro, the training regimen becomes a daily thing both at the gym and on his own, in the ring or on the road, but “Razor” says he is ready. “Yes, I think I am ready and I can’t wait,” said Hess. He says he has always

felt somewhat encumbered wearing the headgear required in amateur, so he is looking forward to not having to deal with that distraction. “That works better for me,” he says. “It won’t block my peripheral vision.” He will also be boxing with lighter gloves, which he is looking forward to as well. “I can use my power better with the smaller gloves,” says Hess. The smaller gloves will also help my hand-speed.” Buxton’s United Boxing Promotions has been scouting Hess is his progress for some time now. “It’s his power,” Buxton told TRT. “That’s what has attracted us to Karl. And he’s strong. When it comes to power, you can’t teach that. You can teach technique, you can teach defence, but natural power in both hands, you either have it or you don’t

and Karl has it. As a promoter if you have someone knocking people out, that is a good thing.” United did not hurry Hess’ development along but left the timing up to Armour as to when he felt Hess was ready physically and mentally to take the step. “The cool part for me is that I won’t be as involved in finding him fights, that’s what United is going to be doing,” says Armour. Assistant coach, Bob “Robbie” Rutherford, is just as excited about his Six Nations fighter as Armour. “I’m really proud of Karl,” he says. “How he works so hard when he comes out to the gym, and he is a great inspiration to the other club members as well.” Black-Eye Boxing has a membership of around 80-100 of all ages and abilities.

“Moving forward we want Karl to look great,” says a very proud Armour. March 17th, Karl “the Razor” Hess will be fighting on a United Boxing card at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga in his professional debut. His opponent has not been selected to date, according to Tyler Buxton. Karl’s contract is a five-year term with a minimum of two fights guaranteed per year, but the plan is for four to six fights per year, according to Buxton. Although Hess is not the clubs first or only pro, he is the first “signed” professional boxer. Karl is 24, welterweight, is marketable and seems to have the whole package any fight promoter would want.

Reading someone else`s mail:

Captain Brant’s Conversation A letter to Messers Street and Dickenson from government official — pitching the idea of reservations.

This letter, found in Simcoe Papers Packet A 17 at Canadian Archives in Ottawa, offers a peek at how intergovernmental notes perceived Brant and the Five Nations at the time of writing, on March 29th, 1793. Captain Brant showing an uneasiness for the present situation of the Five Nations and expressing his fears of the future welfare of the rising generation, entered fully on matters in general, relative to the Indians and having delivered his sentiments freely, showed a wish to accommodate Government. As well as render an eminent service to his own people. It being suggested that the rapid increase of the new settlements would soon deprive the Indians in their present situation, of their usual method of subsistence, and reflecting on their former mode of life, usages and customs opposed to the superior knowledge industry, craftiness, and

intrigues of the whites, the prospect on the part of the Indians had but a melancholy aspect; That it would therefor be esteemed prudent in them, by every means in their power, to endeavour to form some permanent establishment, for the future comfort of their old men, women and children, and that the present was perhaps more favourable an opportunity as would again occur as it might now accommodate Government and be beneficial to themselves by relinquishing to Govt. some part of the lands on the Grand River for a consideration to be appropriated as hereafter might be thought most eligible. On enlarging this conversation it was found that an accommodation of this kind had already been hinted at to C. Brant by his excellency G. Simcoe which at that time C.B. could not personally answer to, but that in revolving circumstances in his mind, he was induced to hope that the Indians would see it their interest to relinquish part of the lands on the Grand River should it be the wish of government to

have them, and that he personally would use his endeavour to have the wishes of the government brought to effect. In pursuing this conversation, C.B. opened his mind more freely and perceiving little more was a wanting to an accommodation on both parts than knowing the sentiments of both parts, than knowing the sentiments of each other thro: the medium of a third person, as well as thinking it incumbent on us (with permission of Captain Brant) to commit part of this conversation to writing in order to give Gov. the earliest communication of his sentiments that should be consequence be attended with beneficial effects we could only claim the merit of having done our duty and trust His Excellency will at once see it in the same disinterested light and should one of us have the Honour of a personal conversation with His Excellency will inform him with respect and particulars more fully.
