MMIWG Inquiry lags OTTAWA — The troubled national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls is formally asking for another two years and more money to finish its work, saying more time is needed to hear from the hundreds of people still waiting to share their stories. The inquiry, which has a budget of nearly $54 million, was originally scheduled to wrap up by the end of 2018, but chief commissioner Marion Buller has long warned more time and money will be necessary. Fellow commissioner Michele Audette said the extension would require another $50 million.

SIX NATIONS - More than 70 individuals that were job and opportunity hunting visited the job fair with the highest number of employers to hit Six Nations at the Ohsweken Community Hall on Thursday, March 8. As 80 per cent of indigenous reserves have median income below the poverty line and at the lowest end there are 27 reported reserves that have a median annual income of below $10,000; the fair was a welcomed occasion.

OPINION

Time for election code overhaul

column

EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW

Six Nations social media circles have been swirling the last month or so with conversations about what the community wants in its leadership. And the conversation is saying one thing loud and clear — Six Nations is looking for younger, millennial thinking in positions of leadership. While we can’t necessarily work as a community to overhaul everything, we can do something to change the current elected council system by putting our minds together and deciding who should be eligible for seats on council. It is time for an Election Code overhaul. Copies of the existing Election Code are available at the Six Nations Elected Council office. This undated document gives the minimal requirements necessary for a person to be nominated to run for a seat on the council. Candidates must be band members, permanent residents and must live in the district they are running in. If an elected councillor of elected chief moves off the reserve or out of the district they were voted into, the current code says that person, with the exception of house fires or “unusual circumstances beyond their control”, forfeits their seat and a vacancy opens up. Six Nations Elected Council now has 12 councillors, two elected for each district. That system does not line up with the logic or infrastructure of a very mobile 2018 Six Nations. Instead of having districts, Six Nations could change the Election Code to open up all 12 seats to the best candidates the community has to offer. In fact, given the on-going housing crisis in this community the Election Code should be changed to permit non-resident band members to run as well. The current Election Code also permits persons to be nominated who have a criminal record as long as they are three years away from “an indictable offence in Canada or a Felony in the United States”. This seems quite outrageous in 2018. How about changing that? No one who has ever been convicted of sex crimes, assault, child or spousal abuse, murder or financial crimes should never be permitted to hold office in this community. Hard stop. Elected councillors are not regular band employees. However in an age where advocacy and reconciliation are moving so fast on Ottawa’s end, Six Nations needs to pick up the pace. Elected councillors should be full time advocacy positions to protect the rights and interests of the Six Nations community from further erosion by the federal government. And those elected in should have the educational background or advocacy experience to be able to do that work. Other Haudenosaunee communities have enacted change to their election codes. Currently the final stages of Election Code updates are being approved at Kahnawake. There is hope for our future in this community. But there is a lot of work to do as well. And it seems a widening generation gap and community infrastructure better suited for the 1990s may be making that work a lot harder to complete.

By Quin Staats The other day, I had an interesting physical experience with the Natural world that we live in. Every day, I am blessed with an array of messages and communications with Mother Nature, spirits and ancestors that communicate with me through the elements of the natural world. Sometimes, I don’t notice that I’m being contacted right away, and it takes a bit more obvious measures to ensure that the message has been received. Yet, nonetheless, the relentless determination of these spirits prevails my ignorance, and I am all ears and eyes to whatever it is that is trying to be said to me. My decision to be fully in tune with Nature is a journey that began just over a year ago. Despite my growing relationship and understandings of Nature and her messages, there are still times where I struggle to hear exactly what is being said to me. Perhaps, I’m overthinking the messages. Perhaps,

Egg Head every once in a while, the message is simply a “hello”, or “don’t lose focus”. My recent experience was a bit different, but still onelined and simple. I’m sure everyone has at one point in their life closed their eyes, and spoke out to some unknown force and said: “give me a sign”, asking for guidance or clarity. I was leaving my house the other morning, with something specific on my mind. A new venture had presented itself to me, and although it attracted me in many ways, I suppose I still had my “justified” doubts. Although my mind kept leaning in favour of this new adventure, doubt loitered sneakily in the corners of my mind. I was confused. I knew I wanted to be on this new avenue, so why was I still experiencing fear and doubt? And then, just as this question crossed my mind, a gigantic drop of water fell right smack in the middle on the top of my head. As a kid, did you ever play that game where you pretend to crack an egg

on someone’s head? The sensations seem so real, consuming your full attention in that moment. Despite what you’re thinking, or the fact that you know it isn’t a real egg being cracked on your head, you can’t help but focus all your energy and attention on that single sensation. I believe that this interaction with Nature was a message; focus on the sensations, but remember that it’s not a real egg! With the element of surprise, Mother Nature showed me that my worldly worries and doubts were nothing but fake eggs being cracked on my head. That the sensations I feel are real, and that is the mindset I should stay faithful to. With a single (giant) drop of water on the very top of my head, I was snapped out of my “worry-circle” and with mild shock was re-tuned in my awareness of my body and spirit. Now with the help of the spirits and forces around me, I tread forward into this new venture; fearless and without a speck of doubt.

Fight colon cancer by recognizing the early signs By TRT staff Colon Cancer implies the presence of cancerous tumours in the colon or rectum. Being the third most commonly occurring form of cancer across the world, it usually begins with small, non-benign polyps, which may turn cancerous on remaining unchecked. Regular colonoscopies may help detect these polyps before they become lethal. Even if they have turned cancerous and only spread as far as the walls of the colon, full recovery is possible. It is thus important for one to be cognizant of the following symptoms of colon cancer; early observation and subsequent diagnosis may save one’s life. 1. Change in Bowel Movements – Almost all patients with colon cancer experience a change in the pattern of bowel movements. They may begin to suffer recurrent bouts of diarrhea or constipation, without any identifiable cause for the same. Given the non-specific nature of randomly occurring bowel disturbance, these signs are often not taken seriously, and resolution comes with the intake of over-the-counter medications. But if one experiences an enduring change in the pattern of bowel

movements, they should immediately get themselves tested for colon cancer. 2. Abnormal Stool Quality – The stool quality also tends to change once an individual develops colon cancer. Mostly, the stool acquires the nature of long, thin, “pencil stool,” basically losing caliber and thickness. In some cases, the stool’s colour may also be abnormal; often dark due to bleeding in the digestive passage. Such signs are hard to miss, especially if this unusual stool quality is not a one-time occurrence but is observed for a protracted period With colon cancer, bleeding may occur in the lower digestive passage or some cases, even in the rectum. When it occurs in the lower digestive tract, the colour of stool changes, but in the case of rectal bleeding, blood is visible almost as a separate discharge in one’s stool. Rectal bleeding is common in individuals who suffer more bouts of constipation than diarrhea through the course of the disease’s progression. 4. Abdominal Discomforts – It is common for those suffering from this condition to experience much abdominal pain, almost on a daily basis.

PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE They will feel excessively full and bloated, sometimes even without having eaten. They may have pelvic pain and stomach cramps, and in few cases, gas and belching problems. These symptoms are similar to several other conditions such as GERD, IBS, frequent indigestion, etc. and thus tend to get misdiagnosed. 5. Nausea and Vomiting – Not all of those who develop colon cancer experience nausea and vomiting. In some cases, however, the abdominal discomforts are accompanied by the urge to puke, which may or may not pro-

voke a bout of vomiting. It is usually people with more sensitive digestive systems and compromised immunity who are likely to have these symptoms with colon cancer. 6. Loss of Appetite – In a significant number of colon cancer cases, patients exhibit a loss of appetite – a phenomenon not entirely understood. One possibility is that abdominal discomforts are off-putting and instinctively hardwire patients to avoid eating much. In cases where there aren’t too many symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, gas, etc., the reason for the

loss of appetite is somewhat difficult to pinpoint. 7. Decrease in Weight – Weight loss associated with colon cancer can be attributed to various factors. One, of course, is the loss of appetite which leads to deficient food consumption and thus loss of body mass. Also, with cancer cells becoming active in the body, there is a certain degree of resistance the body puts up, trying to stem their multiplication and minimize damage. When the immune system works overtime, more calories are burnt than consumed, thus leading to further weight loss.

8. Unexplained Fatigue – Colon cancer, or any such critical condition for that matter, takes a toll on one’s energy levels. This is because on developing such a disease, the immune systems kicks into overdrive, thus leading to increasing energy consumption in the body. When the high rate of consumption is not complemented by replenished energy reserves, one is likely to feel weak, lethargic and sleepy without cause. 9. Anemia – Older individuals with colon cancer, especially men and women over the age of 50, tend to develop anemia or iron deficiency post the onset of the condition. Anemia produces another range of symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, general malaise, inability to exercise and so on. In very severe cases, cardiac problems like palpitations, angina, etc. may be present though this is rare. 10. Shortness of Breath – Some individuals with colon cancer also report feeling short of breath very often. In most instances, this occurs in the elderly who have anemia as well. This shortness of breath implies an increased pressure of cardiac functioning, which in itself is a serious health hazard as well.

BRANTFORD – A Brantford and area citizens group known as Friends and Neighbours of Woodland Cultural Centre and Save the Evidence have been educating non-indigenous people about the Residential Schools area and how that reflects on the people of Six Nations and of Brantford. The organization, now with 40 members, and the direction of the group was launched after Justice Murray Sinclair issued 94 calls to action that all people—Indigenous and non-indigenous—can work together to heal the wounds created through Canada’s relationship with First Nations people. A group of Brantford residents formed the advocacy organization for the purpose of educating non-indigenous neighbours of Six Nations and New Credit to the systematic horrors and abuse to indigenous “students” these children had to quietly endure. But there are many sub-plots in this dark spot in Canadian history, and Lou and Robert Knechtal and their organization have been bringing in important guest speakers who are versed in indigenous issues to explain, especially for non-indigenous people, what is behind the treaties, why indigenous people consider themselves independent nations within the state known as Canada, and in this case, the back ground of the whole residential schools system itself.

Acclaimed Algonquin, Anisinaabe-kwe artist, lecturer, educator, researcher and author Dr. Lynn Gehl will be the next guest in the Community Lecture Series on Wednesday, March 28th at 7 pm at the Laurier Campus in Brantford, at 150 Dalhousie Street, Research and Academic Centre, 004, East Wing, in Brantford. Gehl will be addressing points in her latest book, Claiming Anishinaabe: Decolonizing the Human Spirit but will

also touch on other pertinent points regarding the reconciliation between Canada and indigenous nations. “I like to speak on what I call Heart Knowledge,” Gehl told TRT. “Most people will look to the head for knowledge, but the heart is also a fine repository for knowledge. The heart has intelligence worth listening to.” The book has made it to the Hill Times List of 100 Best Books of 2017. “It was a hard journey because it is a paradigm shift,`` she said about her journey of personal dis-

covery. “You would have to really think differently and conceptually. It's not just the fluffs and feathers and dancing. There is a real sophisticated knowledge system under that.” “The Mohawk Institute was in Brantford between 1830 and 1979,” says Knechtal. “Most people who knew about the Mohawk Institute thought everything was going fine and didn’t get involved with things. When Woodland Cultural Centre was formed as a museum to look at the arts, music and culture at the site, that gave a future to the old school building which could have faded into history. The cost to restore the old school became an issue, but one most people accepted as needful to protect the history for future generations to learn from. After a number of fund raising events and generous donations the restoration of the “Mush Hole” as its Indian students used to call it because of the poor food they were forced to eat, the work began. One of the most immediate needs was a new roof. Years of patches and Band-Aid remedies were overwhelmed by the passage of time and it became a matter of fix it or tear it down. The survivors voted that they did not want to remove the building, but rather, they wanted to keep it as a reminder that this should never happen again. Amos Key headed up CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Dr. Lynn Gehl lecture series at Laurier continued the “Save the Evidence” campaign to raise both funds and awareness of the planned Residential School Museum. “After a meeting with Amos, a bunch of us, including former Brantford Mayor and MP, David Neuman and his wife, Alfreda, decided to get proactive and do something to save the evidence,” recalls Lou and her husband Robert Knechtal. As non-indigenous residents of Brantford who have worked with Six Nations environmentalists in the past, they knew enough to be respectful and understanding of what their intentions were. Lou Knechtal attributes the idea for the “Friends and Neighbours” to a similar lecture series put on in Brantford by a citizens group known as TRUE, or Two Row Understanding through Education, which offered educational lecture series with Indigenous Rights lawyers and other experts, both

native and non-native for a couple of years. When Justice Sinclair, who headed up the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, was in Brantford, members of the fledgling group went to hear the recommendations made to Canada and Canadians on how to bring about healing between the two cultures. After listening to these recommendations, the Neuman’s, the Knechtal’s got together to discuss how they could help as non-indigenous people. Using TRUE as a template, the Friends and Neighbours of Woodland Cultural Centre and Save the Evidence began their series at Laurier. “Each time we have had a session, there have been new people come out, which is good,” she says. “We encourage those who attend to do something with what they have learned and have the knowledge ready if there is any kind of uneducated lunch room discussions or wherever.”

At times the group may run free movies, which are educational and pertinent to their mandate from other researchers and filmmakers. “We are grass roots and we don’t have money so many of our guest speakers have donated their time,” says Knechtal. Wilfrid Laurier University has partnered with the group and is providing the lecture room and the refreshments as part of their community effort to educate both residents and students. A facebook sight has been created to promote their speaker series and also to educate its on-line visitors. “There are so many people right here in Brantford, that have never heard of the Mohawk Institute,” says Robert Knechtal. “We hope to help make people aware of it and what happened there.”

Oak Island gives up treasure By Jim Windle NOVA SCOTIA – The second last episode of History TV’s hit series, “The Curse of Oak Island” climaxed its 2018 season with the reveal of a 500year old brooch with a very large ruby coloured gemstone centre piece discovered by British metal detector specialist Gary Drayton. The rear part of the brooch was uncovered first, followed by a second part featuring the

gemstone set in metal. Both items were found in the same location after scanning the area using a hand-held metal detecting device.

In the season’s finale, the Lagina brothers reveal what they discovered about the ancient gem and readjust their search for the 2019 season, or if the brothers are ready to claim the steps they made towards solving the mystery, but will not continue the search—for now. Two seasons ago, a Roman sword was discovered off the coast of the island, which started a lot of conversation, but under further testing proved to be a modern replica lost and left in the water for decades, giving it an old look. One of the many suggestions over the past few hundred years since the Money Pit, as it has been called, was found by three teens in the late 1700s, is the final hiding place of Marie Antoinette’s jewels which she had spirited out of England after she was arrested and eventually gillotined in 1793. But the most evidence uncovered by researchers to date, seems to point to the Knights Templar, who were outlawed and arrested by the Pope and the King of France on Friday, October 13, 1307 and burned at the stake. Some Templars escaped by gathered in Portugal, which was the last of the Catholic states to eradicate the Templars. It is believed they moved the treasure on several ships, out of Portugal when the round up of Templars began in that country years later. They were believed to possess unspeakable treasures and religious artifacts discovered in tunnels under what is

now, the Muslim Dome of the Rock, in Jerusalem. The loot was taken to safety ... somewhere ... during the retaking of the city by the Muslim armies. Researchers over the decades have added credence to the Templar connection to this 57-hectare (140-acre) privately owned island. Pirate treasure hidden by Captain Kidd and other privateers is also believed to be at the bottom of the money pit, or somewhere else on the island, but Oak Island does not give up its secretes easily and in the years since those three boys started digging in the 1700s, hundreds of millions of dollars has been poured down the money pit by successive treasure hunters. Robert Dunfield was an investor in one of those companies dedicated to finding the Oak Island Treasure in the 1960s. In a desperate attempt to find the treasure before he ran out of money and time allotted by the Nova Scotia government for his search, he brought in heavy equipment and assaulted the original money pit. He did not find what

he was looking for but he did more damage to the entire site than anyone else since the 1700s. When the Lagina’s bought portions of the island in the early 2000s, years after reading about the Island in a Readers Digest article, the successful business partners and siblings gathered a group of investors and search was back on, this time with the latest in technology. The most resent reveal from Oak Island is the most convincing to date that Oak Island in fact was a treasure trove for pirates and privateers since the 1700s. A brooch was discovered in two parts by Rick and Marty Lagina and medal detector specialist Gary Drayton. The stone has been dated to 500 years ago, meaning the brooch was likely made around 1518. Is it part of Marie Antoinette’s jewel stash? Is it part of the Templar treasure that went missing around the same time? Or could it be the manuscripts of William Shakespeare? All the above is still on the table, even after more than two centuries of searching.

Bug dust protein hits the shelves TORONTO — One of the country's biggest retailers is betting bugs are the next big thing in Canadian cuisine. Loblaw Companies Ltd. is adding cricket powder to its lineup of President's Choice products.

In a statement Monday, Loblaw says the flour is high in protein and packed with vitamins and minerals. It also has a ``neutral flavour,'' making it a versatile ingredient for many kinds of recipes. Loblaw says it's

sourcing the product from a farm in southern Ontario. The company says crickets are more sustainable than other forms of animal protein, because they require less food and water.

Dump trucks halted by SNEC, investigation to follow By Nahnda Garlow

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Elected Council was blindsided Tuesday night and an immediate motion to launch an investigation passed after a community delegation presented evidence at the general council meeting alleging illegal dumping of slag

metal, possibly diesel, coke ash and other possible contaminated materials at the Six Nations Landfill Site. A local family says they discovered trucks with slag were being permitted to enter the landfill site and dump unknown contaminants — after they say they were being unfairly scrutinized by Six

Nations Environmental Manager Clynt King and Six Nations Senior Administrative Officer Dayle Bomberry for bringing in fill to level their property to build a home. Slag is a byproduct of industrial production — and in this case could be steel slag, a byproduct of steel production in Hamilton.

Some countries classify slag as hazardous waste, while other countries consider it a resource as the makeup of slag varies depending what the source of production it comes from. Steel slag is used in Canada as an element in asphalt road paving, and since the 1980’s has been

considered “non-hazardous” by the US Environmental Protection Agency. However, several videos were presented to the council showing the trucks entering the landfill site and dumping slag. Eyewitnesses said they could smell the diesel in the materials being dumped. This prompted SAO Dayle Bomberry into the hot seat to answer questions about why the concerned family was being scrutinized about the environmental assessment on the fill being trucked into their property - while unknown contaminants are being trucked into the landfill site. Elected Council members were visibly agitated by the revelation. District 3 Councillor Sherri-Lyn Hill-Pierce said she was eyewitness to the dumping earlier in the week and confirmed she saw the trucks were dumping slag metal. District 6 Councillor Mark Hill aimed his frustrations at Bomberry demanding to know particulars on when slag metal dumping permissions were given by the council. District 4 Councillor Helen Miller answered and said the council approved dumping of metal slag in 2012 on the landfill site, saying it was an approved solution to the community’s garbage crisis. Miller said the weight of the slag was supposed to tamp down trash in the ground

to allow for more trash to be piled on top. “If we didn’t do that our dump would’ve been closed by now, we wouldn't have had nowheres to take our garbage,” said Miller. The conversation about the potential contaminants at the dump and who approved what, and when — went on for over an hour between council members and members of the community — all parties frustrated with the clear communication problems SNEC is having with its departments reporting to the council and keeping council members informed of their activities. SNEC elected councillors were furious with the revelations and put forward a motion to immediately halt trucks dumping slag and other non-household materials at the landfill site while an investigation by a third party is conducted to bring forward all documentation and evidence relating to what is being dumped at the landfill — including testing the soil for contaminants. SNEC said they will bring forward that documentation to the community within 30 days. SNEC also organized for the family whose home build is being delayed to have answers brought to them by King and Bomberry as to why they have not been permitted to complete work on their property at Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting.

March breaks open for language

Everyone is having a good time at the March Break Language and Culture Camp which continues until Friday March 16th. Six Nations Polytechnic is hosting the event. SUBMITTED PHOTO By Chezney Martin OHSWEKEN – A March Break Language and Culture Camp being held at the Six Nations Polytechnic is utilizing the week to help instill Haudenosaunee language and culture for participating youth interested in learning Mohawk or Cayuga. The camp began on Monday, March 12 and will continue until Friday and Assistant Project Coordinator at Deyohaha:ge Language Centre

Tanis Hill said that she felt “good” about how the camp is going so far. “They're having a good time too,” said Hill. Six Nations Polytechnic stands as the first and remains the only institution to offer a degree program for Haudenosaunee languages. Hill agreed that the camp might also help the youth look into those programs in the future, regardless of fluency level. “I know that at least two of our instructors have taken the programs

here at Polytech before,” she said, including the degree program. “We have one non-native and non-resident student here and his family is quite close to families on the reserve, so he just wants to learn Mohawk. He's really enjoying it.” The camp itself was also offered behind a great collective effort: “[This camp] was actually a part of a project that we had done three or four years ago,” she said. “It was one of the projects, part of three

projects, to increase the language knowledge of the community. So we developed this camp to teach the kids about traditions and to help to instill their culture and their language.” She explained that the five-day camp has instructors that have created activities to help the youth utilize the language while incorporating teachings and culture. The youth will be given the opportunity to experience guest speakers including Art

Johnson, Cindy Martin, and “Garrett O'Deere.” But Hill noted that the program did have a low enrolment this year, so they decided to combine both the Mohawk and Cayuga language groups. “[Combing the two] is actually turning out quite well,” she said. “They're able to kind of realize too that between the languages some of the words are the same, and just hearing it the Cayuga speakers can understand what's being said in Mohawk and vice versa.”

“They do have an intimate group so they're able to get more one on one as well and that's really beneficial.” Roughly 50 per cent of known languages have disappeared in the last 500 years and as indigenous language loss has been called the “silent genocide,” efforts such as those that were taken to put this camp in place are steps taken closer to ensure Haudenosaunee language security.

know the score.

0-0 tie not good enough for Flames By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN – There couldn’t have been a tighter game that meant so much to both teams when the Six Nations Atom Reps skated onto the ice at the Gaylord Powless Arena (GPA) in Ohsweken, Saturday night. At the other end of the ice was a team that needed nothing short of a win to continue league play. Three periods later, after a tooth and nail performance and the magic two hot goalies, no one put a goal on the board. The game ended in a 0-0 tie, not good enough for the Ayr Flames, but it was good enough to assure a playoff birth for Six Nations. “It was the second last game of our Southern Counties, a real tight division,” said Atom Reps Coach Anderson. “If we had have lost today, we would have probably been out [of the playoffs]. The season is about to end with a lot of teams tied so the statistics start playing a role and Anderson is confident that things will go his team’s way and the playoff birth is theirs.” Sunday, the Atom Blackhawks were defeated in theist game of the regular season by the Paris Playoffs will begin after the lil NHL series which the Atom Reps will be attending again this year. It wasn’t until very late

in the game with the score 0-0 that the players were told all they need to do is hang on, that a tie game was as good as a win for them. Six Nations scored at one point but the goal was taken back on an off-sideband the score remained 0-0. With seconds remaining, Ayr pulled their goalie, needing a win. “That’s when I told the kids, just get the puck out and don’t worry about scoring,” says Anderson. He and his coaching staff have worked all season with two lines and 11 players with a 12th on standby. That gave all his players a lot of ice time and jelling time as a team. By the time they hang up the skates for the season, they will have played, including the lil NHL, 70 games. Anderson believes that if a team looks good they play good, and showing up to the arena in team hoodies with their name and number emblazoned on them were presented to the players just in tin for the lil NHL. Andersons two sons, winger, Crosby is 10 and centre Cooper is nine, are both seasoned veterans of the lil NHL already having played in it since Tyke. They heap praise on their teammates for the success they have had this season so far. When asked who they felt were the top players on their team this year, Cooper was quick to

Amazing

offer Mase Anthony and Crosby pointed to Nohlo Squires. While other entrees load up with ringers for the tournament, Six Nations Atom Reps only have recruited one add-on player to augment their already powerful team, that being Cain Styres, who played in Brantford this year. “This year at the Silver Stick tournament, we only ended up with eight players,” says Anderson. “Two of our guys got sick and couldn’t play. This year we are bringing an extra man to rotate in.” Dennis and Craig MacDonald along with Dwayne Doxtator complete the Atom’s coaching staff who have worked hard with the team. Anderson believes he and his staff have this year’s team ready to challenge for a medal at the lil NHL, and that the team is ready for anything they might face this year. Cooper fills the role as a checking forward which shows down the opponents’ offence, while winger Crosby is becoming the go-to-guy when a goal is needed, scoring the OT winner against Delhi to eliminate them, and did the same against Aylmer. Brandon Montour’s NHL success is constantly on the minds of the Anderson boys who happen to be the Montour’s cousin.

JUNIOR B HOCKEY ACTION

“A lot of the time, the dressing room talk will be about Brandon,” says Anderson. “We brought him

out to one of our practices and the kids loved it.” It doesn’t hurt to have Montour as a cousin

either, and the Anderson boys are very proud of that.

Corvairs and Canucks to square off By Jim Windle CALEDONIA – The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs had to wait a few days but after the Niagara Falls swept the Thorold Blackhawks last week, the dance card was filled and the Canucks will face the Corvairs in the second round. That will begin Wednesday, Mar. 14th, at 7:30 p.m. at the Haldimand Centre in Caledonia. The Corvairs had no trouble with their firstround matchup, easily cutting through the Fort Erie Meteors in four straight, lop-sided games which they won 13-2, 9-2,16-1 and 8-3. The Canucks and Corvairs will open

their round two series Wednesday, Mar. 14th at the Haldimand Centre with Game 2 set for the Gale Centre Friday, March 16th at 7 p.m. It all comes back to the Haldimand Centre for Game 3, Saturday, March 17th,

at 7:30 p.m. and Game 4, Monday, March 19th back at the Gale Centre. The Corvairs report a healthy and anxious team in advance of the series start. Elsewhere around the loop, the St. Catharines Falcons swept

the Pelham Panthers to match up with Ancaster who won their series against the Welland Canadians, 4-0. In the Midwest, the Listowel Cyclones blew down the Guelph Hurricanes in four straight and will now take on the Waterloo Siskins. The Brantford ‘99ers were eliminated by the Stratford Warriors who will open Round 2 against the Elmira Sugar Kings who swept the Brampton Bombers. In the west, it will be London versus the Chatham Maroons in Round 2, and the Leamington Flyers against the St. Thomas Stars.

Ducks can’t complete comeback By Kyle Shohara ANAHEIM – Monday night, Brandon Montour hit the 20 assists mark for defensemen when he assisted on Cory Perry’s goal along with Ryan Getzlaf in Monday night’s 4-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Despite a frantic comeback attempt in the closing minutes of regulation, the Ducks couldn't find the equalizer in a 2-1 loss to the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center on Friday. A penalty-killing unit that had been so good over the past nine games, killing 25 consecutive opportunities, surrendered two power-play goals in the third period of the club's second defeat in as many nights. Ryan Miller turned aside 35 saves in the loss, which kept the Ducks at 80 points, while pushing the Stars to 82 points on the season. "Hurts having those two penalty-kill goals, but it's one of those things where we need to be a little bit smarter," said defenseman Brandon Montour. "Couple plays kind of hurt us. We got the tough end." Ryan Getzlaf scored the lone goal for the Ducks, who held a 1-0 lead until the 8:50 mark of the third period.

Six Nations' Brandon Montour celebrates his 20th assist of the season. PHOTO SUPPLIED While the Ducks still hold onto third place in the Pacific Division, they have now played two more games than San Jose (second place, 81 points) and LA (second wild card, 79 points). Both teams have played 67 games. The Flames, who defeated the Ottawa Senators earlier today, sit two points behind the Ducks with 69 games played. "Every game matters," said Montour. "We don't have any excuses anymore. Everybody is tight. We need those wins." Devin Shore and Jamie Benn scored in the third period for Dallas, who now have a three-point cushion on the Kings and a four-

point gap on the Colorado Avalanche (and Calgary), two clubs currently on the outside looking in. After coming out of the gates with plenty of jump, the Ducks struck first at the 17:16 mark of the opening period when Getzlaf buried a snap shot over Kari Lehtonen's right shoulder on a 2-on-1 with Corey Perry. The goal was Getzlaf's 12th point over the course of a five-game point streak (2g/10a). An assist gave Perry eight points (2g/6a) in his last six games, while the secondary assist gave Rickard Rakell 11 points (8g/3a) over a six-game point streak. Dallas nearly tied it

late in the second period if not for a spectacular save by the veteran Ducks netminder. After making an initial stop on John Klingberg's shot from the right faceoff dot, Miller somehow kept Tyler Seguin's rebound opportunity from crossing the stripe. The puck went into the air and bounced off his shoulder before hitting the crossbar and rolling off Miller's back. "Hurts having those two penalty-kill goals, but it's one of those things where we need to be a little bit smarter," said defenseman Brandon Montour. "Couple plays kind of hurt us. We got the tough end."

Ontario Regional Chief Day commends focus on Indigenous Sports Excellence By TRT staff TORONTO – The 47th Annual Little NHL Tournament, held in Mississauga, Ontario, with Moose Cree First Nations as host for its second year, has broken the record again, with 209 teams attending from across Ontario this year. Over the next three years the Little Native Hockey League tournament will see Aamjiwnaang First Nation as the 2019 Host, Nipissing First Nation as the 2020 Host and the tournaments executive hosting the 50th Anniversary in 2021. Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day, once a citizen of Moose Cree First Nation, says it was an honour to be present and help kick off the opening ceremonies that marked a successful two-year run for the Moose Cree First Nation as host community. “Chief Patricia Faries, and her community, have helped make the Little Native Hockey League an Indigenous hockey machine to be reckoned with in North America. The recognition of NHL star Jonathan Cheechoo being featured as a tournament alumni and hockey role model for all First Nation kids across the country is simply awesome,” said Day. He also commented in his opening remarks “that it is important for the boys and men of this tournament to lift up women and girls.” He also said that ” ‘daughters’ will save the planet and that we must do all we can to help them achieve their goals.” The need to support sports programs and infrastructure in First Nation communities throughout Ontario is undeniably a major effort that must be made by all. Recent discussions between the Ontario Regional Chief and officials within the Ontario government have concluded that infrastructure program design must include remote, rural and urban First Nation investment based on need of where indoor rinks are most essential. “The enthusiasm, excellence, and the momentum that this tournament has built over the years is clearly one of the most important movements that will continue to serve our First Nation communities, families and strengthen our youth,” said Day. “We must continue to support the Little Native Hockey League and be united in our resolve as leaders to make this a formal institution, supporting Indigenous Sports Excellence for generations to come.”

SIX NATIONS – You could take a knife and cut the Arena Lacrosse League (ALL) game between the Six Nations Snipers and the Paris RiverWolves in half. But in the end, the Snipers celebrated a rare but hard fought 15-14 overtime win, March 9th. Kyle Isaacs put Six Nations up 1-0 three-and-ahalf minutes into Friday night’s game at the Syl Apps Arena in Paris. Wolves’ Mike Melnychenko tied the game and Drake Smith flipped the Snipers into a 2-1 deficit at the seven-minute mark. Wayne Hill scored from Vern Hill and Craig Point to tie it up and Cecil Montour made it 3-2, Snipers, but Brett Ulbikas popped in a late goal to tie the score at 3-3 at the end of the first frame. The RiverWolves’ Bryden Curran turned it on to open the second quarter with back-toback goals. Tommy Montour got one back, unassisted, but Colin McDowall and Travis Burton answered that

and it was 7-4, Paris, but 34 seconds later Reily Johnson connected from Darris Anderson and Montour completing two-quarters of play, with Paris leading 7-5. Cecil Montour brought the Snipers within distance of the RiverWolves, 26 seconds into the second half, and VanEvery evened it again, this time at 7-7, from Johnson and Brayden Hill. Isaacs took the Snipers to an 8-7 Six Nations lead. Drake Smite tied it yet again and it was 8-8, but not for long. Johnson scored for the Snipers to rip the 9-8 lead out of the Wolves. But with eight seconds left in the quarter, Mike Burke tied it at 9-9. There was lots of end to end action in the last 15 minutes with the lead trading hands several times. It was tied 10-10, 11-11, and 14-14 before OT was declared. Vern Hill, VanEvery, Isaacs, Point, Johnson scored fourth quarter goals for Six Nations. Then, in OT, Wayne VanEvery scored his 20th of the season in 10 starts for the Snipers

win. There will be two games at the ILA this weekend. This Friday, March 16th, the Snipers host the Whitby Steelhawks at 8 p.m., at the ILA., and Saturday, March 17th, the Outlaws, the team the Snipers have to get past, battle for playoff positions. That game is at 7 p.m. The Paris RiverWolves take on the St. Catharines ShockWave, this coming Friday and the Whitby Steelhawks Saturday, both at home. STANDINGS:

When life throws rocks at you, make lemonade donuts By Jayson Koblun HAMILTON – Monster Donuts, one of several businesses affected by vandals in early March, responded with a tonguein-cheek donut summing up how they feel about the incident; when life throws rocks at you, make a lemonade donut sprinkled with broken sugar shards. In response to the self-appointed group “The Ungovernables’” vandalism, Monster Donuts made a lemonade-flavoured donut with small sugar shards to represent the windows the vandals broke during the recent raid on Locke. All proceeds from the special donut were donated to InDwell, a Christian charity that creates affordable housing communities that support people seeking health, wellness

Anderson, Arlene Annette (Punky) In loving memory of our dear Sister, Aunt and best friend who passed March 15, 2017. The Final Flight Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the end of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things too I will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My Life's been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, We'll always love you Punky. In our hearts Forever. You will be sadly missed by Dave, Elda and Family.
