Pups patrol Six Nations Marketplace

Treaty 3 land claim settled MITAANGIGAMIING — The First Nations community of Mitaanjigamiing announced it has reached a final settlement of an outstanding land claim. The claim took ten years of negotiations to settle. The community said they did not receive the amount of lands they were entitled to when they signed onto Treaty #3. The Treaty 3 settle-

ment adds just over 1600 hectares of provincial Crown land to the First Nations existing reserve in northwestern Ontario and nearly $25 million in compensation from both the provincial and federal governments. Mitaanjigamiing Chief Janice Henderson says the settlement enables the community to create greater economic opportunities.

SIX NATIONS – Paw Patrol search and rescue dogs Marshall, Chase and Skye visited the Six Nations Marketplace on Tuesday, March 20, to offer families and children of all ages an opportunity to snap a keepsake photo with the trio. Owner of the SN Marketplace John General said that this type of communal attraction showcases the original purpose of the marketplace. “The whole market is here mainly to bring everybody together and

help small businesses in the community,” said General. “We wanted to give back to the community and this is something that we knew would go over well with everybody,” he said. General said that employees volunteered to dress up for the day as the Paw Patrol characters and that he hopes to do something communal at the market place monthly moving forward. “With a turn out like this, I would keep doing it.” MORE PHOTOS PAGE 9

Bottled water found to contain micro plastics NEW YORK — The World Health Organization is launching a review after a study showed elevated levels of plastic in bottled water.

tics. According to the report, Nestle’s Pure Life brand had the highest concentrations. Other brands like Aquafina an San Pellegrino were also tested. The World Health Organization now wants to study what the human health risks are for consuming micro plastics in water.

SIX NATIONS – Iron Worker turned artist, Robert James House, Cayuga Turtle, gave up construction but did not give up his tools. Throughout the past 25 to 30 years House has been discovering the special gift Creator has given him as a sculptor and artist, creating multi-media works that come out of his deep well of creativity. House grew up working the farm with his father Willard House, and after he died about 15 years ago, Robert began exploring his artistic side more anymore, eventually getting a job with Buck Spittal doing small crafts for his Irocrafts gift store on Tuscarora Road. He has worked with wood, soapstone, brass and deer antler but also has experience working with different metals, which he gained as an Iron

worker. His studio is his back yard and that’s where he likes to be. I still have the first bronze I ever made,” he says. “It’s called the Lone Warrior. I think I am going to keep that one.” Although he has never actually played the game, lately his works have taken on a lacrosse theme. “I haven’t played but I love the game and so does a lot of people here,” says House. House is just one of many artists and crafters who reside at Six Nations but art being what it is, every one turns out something just a little bit different and is always one-off works of a true Onkwehonwe artist. If anyone would like to speak with House about a custom project or to select a piece from his collection, call Robert James House at 226-966-0879.

Police investigate Hedley for alleged sex assaults TORONTO — Police say their sex crime unit is investigating allegations against Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard. Police spokeswoman Katrina Arrogante says no charges have been laid against the Canadian musician, but an investigation is ongoing. In statements late last month, Hoggard and the Vancouver-based band

said Hedley will be taking an ``indefinite hiatus'' after the end of their Canada-wide tour later this month. The former MuchMusic darlings have been under fire since sexual misconduct allegations began surfacing online last month, suggesting inappropriate encounters with young fans.

VANCOUVER — Police arrested anti pipeline demonstrators Saturday opposing the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Just 28 people blocked the entrance to the Kinder Morgan work site early Saturday morning, tying themselves to gates. Local RCMP moved

in with an injunction — given by Kinder Morgan from the Supreme Court — restricting demonstrators fro being within five meters of two of the pipelines worksites. All 28 people were arrested. Similar actions are planned for the rest of this week to oppose the pipeline project.

OPINION

Are we selling reconciliation? EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW One of Ontario’s First Nations has finally settled an outstanding land claim. As part of the settlement Mitaanjigamiing will have 1656 hectares added to their reserve and a financial compensation package including $23 million from Canada and $1.8 million from Ontario. The negotiated agreement settles the Treaty Land Entitlement claim by providing land owed to the community under the terms of Treaty 3. The claim settles dispute that started in 1873, close to 145 years ago. Mitaanjigamiing, formerly known as Stanjikoming First Nation or Rainy Lake, has just 167 band members. So if you do the math based on populations alone that is roughly $150,000 per band member - not including the value of lands returned to the community. Congratulations to that community on the settling of that long outstanding claim. But what does that mean for Six? Is this the going rate for reconciliation? If we go by those numbers Six Nations is owed about 3 billion dollars in compensation. Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Indigenous Reconciliation, said the settlement was a “milestone” and called it a “historic settlement to help right a past wrong”. David Zimmer, Ontarios Minister of Indigenous Reconciliation said it was an “important step on Ontario’s journey of healing and reconciliation with indigenous people.” Official voices are like arrows. And these arrows seem to be pointing at financial compensation plus making amends by granting land base is what reconciliation looks like between Canada, its provinces and indigenous people. Is that what we want though? What does reconciliation look like for Six Nations? Some would like to see the entire tract’s taxation dollars come to the people of Six Nations. Others want the freedom to reside anywhere in the tract, tax free. These are just ideas I’ve seen shared among friends and other Kahonwe. In fact, reconciliation, as a member of Six Nations, looks a lot different from over here. For starters, let’s put actual indigenous people in the positions of Minister of Indigenous Services Canada and Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada. Next let’s make it illegal for public officials, like Senator Lynn Beyak, to say racist things against anyone from any background - including indigenous people. And make cultural learning and history a mandatory part of their punishment and correction. For full reconciliation I’d like to see the conservative party, the whole party, come live on the Rez for a month. Let them eat macaroni and tomatoes every day and use the slop bucket before bed - walk a mile in our moccasins friends. Now I know we have a lot to be thankful for here at Six Nations. We are relatively ‘urban’ compared to some of the remote and northern communities. And we have a blossoming economy. Our community is peppered with several successful mom and pop shops that employ many of our people. And we have a strong community of language learners and cultural knowledge protectors working to advance indigenous ownership of indigenous traditions. But for once, it would be great to be the author of what reconciliation could look like from our end instead of being dictated the Canadian interpretation and forced to smile while we accept their form of amending the past.

Election Code change Over the past few months, there has been a lot of talk in the community about revising the present Election Code which was established in 1995 and I found it interesting that your recent editorial spoke to these same ideas that have been discussed in the community. In the fall of last year - 2017, the Six Nations Elected Council made a public call for persons to sit on a new Election Code Committee. The ECC was established in September and the Election Code Committee met for the first time in November 2017.

The mandate for the Six Nations Election Code Committee is to review and recommend proposed amendments to the Six Nations of the Grand River Election Code, and in doing so, the ECC shall proactively and comprehensively engage all eligible voters to ensure proposed amendments reflect the concerns and issues of the electorate as a whole. The next SNEC election will be called for the fall of 2019 and our Committee is preparing to meet that deadline. There will be twelve community meetings between early April

Taking a forensic look at the history of Mohawk Park By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Every 10 years or so, Brantford floats another balloon over the Glebe Lands looking for a route to finally link both ends of the Brantford Southern Access Route aka BSAR. Like clockwork, Brantford is again assuming Six Nations will eventually loosen its hold on that piece of property that was transferred back to Six Nations by the New England Company when no longer needed as a school. But right next door to the Glebe Lands is what is now known as Mohawk Park. It was once known Lovejoy’s Marsh or Lovejoy’s Pond. Above it on a rise was Lovejoy’s Cove. It was eventually sold to the City of Brantford and became known as Mohawk Park in the late 1800s. Looking back on the times before the canal and Mohawk Lake were built, speculation was common among those settlers with money to invest. Records show huge plots of land being bought and sold on the same day for huge profits. Others also had enough political will and commercial clout in the early days of town

building in Southwestern Ontario, to always be in the right place at the right time. John Lovejoy was one of those opportunists. He owned what is now East Colborne Street and charged a toll to travellers for its use. One of the mysteries surrounding Lovejoy and his possession of a significant portion of the Mohawk Village is how that happened without any known instrument of surrender and never sanctioned by either the Mohawks or Six Nations at large. In the 1830s especially, there was great pressure being applied to the Mohawks of Brants’ Mohawk Village to remove themselves to the south side of the river and amalgamate with the others of the Six Nations in one “more manageable” location. This was being pitched as a way to help Samuel Jarvis and the Canadian government remove European and American squatters from settling on Six Nations’ Haldimand Proclamation land. Brantford itself was a white-man reserve, so to speak. It was negotiated with John Brant, Joseph’s Son and Superintendent of Indian Affairs at that

time, and approved by the sitting Six Nations Chiefs, to surrender 807 acres of Haldimand Tract land along the Grand River to relocate the squatters as they round them up. The proceeds from the sales and leases of the Brantford Town Plot, were to be kept in trust for Six Nations posterity. Much of the proceeds

from these lots never made it to the Six Nations Trust Fund, including what is known as the Nathan Gage lands where the Casino and Civic Centre are now located. There were also outright “gifts” of land made “legal” by government speculators to wealthy supporters families and friends, without the

knowledge or approval of Six Nations, as required by the Canadian government through the Royal Proclamation. To date in our studies, the first mention of John Lovejoy relates to land. Lewis Burwell’s map the town plot in 1833 and it included a large swath of the Mohawk Village. An 1832 town record shows John Lovejoy “acquired” the eastern and northern portion of the Mohawk Village, from beside the Mohawk Chapel all the way to Colborne Street. His handsome brick family home was built at the corner of what is now Colborne Street and Park Street. It was once the office of Dr. Arnold Rose in the early1960s. The house was torn down in the 1980s to make room for the BSAR, but the project was stalled by politics and push back from Six Nations. Records also show that the first public meeting to promote the Grand River Navigation Company was held at Lovejoy's Hotel, another property owned by the speculator. It was not long after the project got enough backing to proceed, that a large stretch of Mohawk land was “acquired” by John Lovejoy. The path

of the proposed canal would traverse Lovejoy's land and offer significant commercial benefit. But who was it “acquired” from and for what? And why is there no instrument or documents to show the Mohawks had indeed agreed with “giving” Lovejoy a hefty part of the Mohawk Village, just to be nice? Lovejoy’s swamp or pond was dredged to become what is now Mohawk Lake, some say served as a turn-around and stopping point for commercial as well as passenger traffic on the Canal System. Others have said it was kind of a basson to store water for the Canal lock system. Lovejoy was in the right place at the right time. The “Indians” were distracted by the proposal of leaving the Mohawk Village to relocate across the River, under the Kings protection, while squatters were supposed to be removed from Haldimand Tract land. This, as history shows clearly, was a lie and a ruse to open up more land to speculators and settlers and was never intended to be of benefit to the Six Nations people at all.

‘Drug house’ investigation prompts 61 new charges SiX NATIONS — Police say Brett Elgin Elliott Sr. is facing more charges since his arrest on March 13. The Six Nations man was wanted by police on a number of outstanding warrants related to an armed confrontation with community members outside his Cayuga road residence. Police say there were 3 outstanding warrants for Elliott's arrest. The first warrant was for Failing To Comply With Conditions. The second warrant was for Possession of Stolen Property, Prohibited Firearms, and Fail To Comply With Conditions. The third warrant was for Possession of a Firearm While Prohibited, Flight From Police, Assault Police, Firearm in a Motor Vehicle, Possession of a Weapon For A Dangerous Purpose, Possession of

Unauthorized Firearm and Fail To Comply With Conditions. According to a statement from police, Elliott now faces 61 new charges; 11 of those charges are in relation to firearms and include Possession of a Weapon for Dangerous Purpose, Careless Use of a Firearm and 9 other firearms charges. A total of 50 charges are in relation to stolen vehicles located on Elliott's property. They include 48 counts of Possession of Stolen Property Valued Over $5,000.00, and 2 counts of Possession of Stolen Property valued Under $5,000.00. Mr. Elliott's Bail Hearing that was scheduled Friday March 16th but has been put over until next week. Community members and Six Nations Elected Council provided let-

ters to the Six Nations Police Service expressing the communities position that Elliott not be released on bail. Police say this information was relayed to the Crown Attorney's office in Brantford. The Six Nations Police say the investigation into others involved in this incident continues, and expect more criminal charges will be laid.

the architect of this and other open thefts of land and money got so blatant that Samuel Jarvis, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, was investigated twice by the government before finally removing him from office for fraud, misappropriation of Six Nations Trust Funds, incompetence in seeking the best for Six Nations, and using Six Nations funds to support a known gambling habit. The fraud was recognized, Jarvis lost his job, but the land was never returned nor the proceeds replenished to the Trust Fund. Without any document of surrender or transfer of Mohawk land into Lovejoy's hands, one begins to question what has become the “official” story of Mohawk Park. “On Dec. 15, 1827, a public meeting was held at Lovejoy's Inn that drew people who were interested in improving transportation on the river, such as Absalom Shade of Galt, William Hamilton Merritt of the Welland Canal and various local millers,” according to records. As mentioned earlier, Lewis Burwell was one of Canada’s best cartographers of the day and was the surveyor and mapmaker of choice for both the Colonial government and Six Nations in general. His skill is stunning to some archaeologists who have used his notes and maps to locate a number of historic sites in and around Brantford with pinpoint accuracy. But there is a strange anomaly. The Western boundary of what is now Mohawk Park as mapped by Burwell is in the wrong place, judging by its proximity to the lake itself. In fact, a good part of what is called Mohawk Park is on what Burwell

maps show as “School Lot”, which means it was also part of the Glebe lot and therefore not to be sold. We know that Lovejoy got a Crown Deed for the land on Dec. 20th, 1836, but with no accompanying map or details as required by the Royal Proclamation of 1763 that have been located to date. Lovejoy willed his land to his children and in that, Lovejoy’s Cove, of 55 acres, was leased to the Brant Railway System. That was later sold to the City to become Mohawk Park. If John Lovejoy got a Crown Deed for that land, how was that possible when the New England Company was in use of that land at the pleasure of Six Nations until no longer needed as a school. Some portions of the original Mohawk Village remain recognized by Canada as Reserve #40B including the Glebe Land. The first Mechanics School was established at Mohawk Village across from the Mohawk Chapel. The Mohawk Institute was built further back, but what became of the School Lot that is now Mohawk Park? If any of our readers can help clarify, please contact or email Jim Windle at jim@tworowtimes. com. Lewis Burwell’s Brantford Map 1833. Note the relative position Mohawk Lake to Mohawk Park. For a well-acclaimed mapmaker, employed by both Canada and Six Nations, it appears the Glebe has been reduced in size which begs the questions, when and why?

By Jayson Koblun LIONS HEAD –If you can handle the wet earth and slush of early spring, now is a great time to drive up north, hike and get outside. Up near Tobermory, Ontario, on the Bruce Peninsula lays Lions Head Provincial Park, a nature reserve near the town of Lion's Head on Georgian Bay. The park contains portions of the Niagara Escarpment and is noted for its glacial features, especially potholes—deep, cylindrical holes in rock supposedly from the last ice age. This time of year the ice near the shoreline is beginning to melt, so be sure to avoid stepping offshore on a hike to get a better view, it’s not

worth the picture or memory because the ice is very likely to crack. As long as visitors stay on the marked paths and steer clear of the ice they will find awesome views of the bay from high above, or can even enter the valley and check out the broken up ice pans and ice jams caused by

the fluctuating temperatures. Tobermory is known for its crystal clear, blue waters in the summer and even as the seasons are changing you can experience this sight near the shorelines. Water is clear you can see the rocks at the bottom.

Saskatchewan farmer acquitted in death of Indigenous man in court on gun charges The Canadian Press BATTLEFORD, SK — A Saskatchewan farmer who was acquitted last month in the fatal shooting of a young Indigenous man is to be back in court April 16 to face gun charges. Gerald Stanley was charged in November 2016 with two counts of unsafe storage of firearms and his case was up Monday in a North Battleford, Sask., courtroom. The charges relate to the police investigation that began after Colten Boushie, 22, was shot and killed on Stanley's farm

in August 2016. Stanley wasn't in court nor was his lawyer, Scott Spencer, who called in for the proceeding. The Crown asked for more time in the case. Some of Boushie's family were outside court holding signs that read ''Justice Against Institutional Racism'' and ''Blood On Your Hands.'' Boushie's mother, Debbie Baptiste, poured a bottle of red ketchup onto the ground outside the courthouse to symbolize blood on the snow. ``Shame on you Canada,'' she said. ``Come on, people. You let a murder-

er walk away ... Treaties are being broken. The RCMP covered up Gerald Stanley.'' Last month, a jury found Stanley not guilty of second-degree murder in Boushie's death. Boushie was one of five young people who drove onto Stanley's farm near Biggar in 2016. His friends testified they were looking for help with a flat tire. Stanley told the trial he thought they were trying to steal an all-terrain vehicle. He testified he fired warning shots to scare them away and the gun accidentally went off

again when he went to pull the keys from their SUV. Penalties for unsafe storage of a firearm range from a conditional discharge — which means no criminal record _ to a fine, to a prison sentence. According to the provincial court file, one of the charges Stanley faces relates to a number of rifles and a shotgun, while the other was for a Ruger Blackhawk .45-calibre handgun.

Canadians support strict restrictions on pot packaging: Health Canada The Canadian Press OTTAWA — The federal government says the Canadian public broadly supports the tight regulations it has so far proposed for marijuana packaging, which will include a bright red stop sign containing a pot leaf and the letters THC. Health Canada is unveiling the results of a 60-day consultation around its proposed regulations, in which it emphasizes a focus on reducing the appeal of marijuana to youth and preventing accidental consumption. Logos would have to be a single colour, with no metallic or fluorescent finishes, and packages would have to be opaque and child-resistant, with a bright yellow health warning similar

to those used on tobacco products. Cannabis legislation is currently before Parliament and none of the regulations are final until approved by legislators. The consultation received more than 3,200 online submissions and 450 written responses, as well as input from health and law enforcement experts, governments, patient advocates and industry representatives. Health Canada is also proposing two new categories of small-scale producers — micro-cultivators and micro-processors — that would apply lower-level security requirements for businesses that grow or process smaller amounts of product.

Less drinking among indigenous millennials AKWESASNE — A new report says that millennial indigenous youth are more likely to abstain from alcohol than the generation before them. The First Nations Information Governance Centre released that and other findings in its National Report on First Nations Health.

The report says more than 75% of First Nattions youth said they abstained from alcohol in the last year. That is a nearly fifteen percent spike in ten years. Just over 60% of indigenous youth reported abstaining from alcohol in 2008.

Topic No. 1 How can we best utilize the Brantford Casino Deal money for Six Nations? In December of 2017, the Elected Council entered into a tentative agreement with the Province of Ontario in response to Six Nations interest regarding Ontario’s duty to consult on a transaction involving the Brantford Casino. The agreement will trigger annual payments of $4.5 million to Six Nations for the next 20 years. We would like your feedback on how you feel we can best utilize this money for the benefit of our community. Topic No. 2 What are your thoughts on the legalization of cannabis? Six Nations Elected Council has established a Cannabis Taskforce and is in the process of developing a policy focusing on community well-being, in preparation for legislative amendments surrounding the use of cannabis (marijuana). We would like you input on the legalization of cannabis and how you feel it will impact our community.

We look forwarding to seeing you at the meeting! Refreshments will be made available.

NASA shortlists Western co-led project for future launch to Saturn's largest moon By TRT staff NASA has shortlisted a revolutionary strategy, co-led by a Western University planetary scientist, for a future launch mission that could see a drone-like quadcopter buzz above the surface of Saturn's largest moon. The Dragonfly project would take advantage of Titan's dense, calm atmosphere to fly from site to site to analyse the massive moon's chemistry, geology and potential for life. The craft would have four pairs of stacked rotors that would enable it to zip—as much as an object with a mass of a few hundred kilograms could be said to zip—across Titan geography that has intrigued and mystified scientists for decades. Unlike conventional, slow-moving rovers that suss out a small surface area of Mars, Dragonfly could explore across hundreds of kilometres; all the while scouting for geologic points of interest and taking valuable measurements of surface, sub-surface and atmospheric conditions. As co-investigator, Western Earth Sciences professor Catherine Neish is helping define and achieve the mission's science goals and is the lone Canadian researcher on a team led by Elizabeth Turtle at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). The team is developing the Dragonfly project, which NASA has selected as

SUBMITTED PHOTO one of two finalists for the agency's next New Frontiers mission. "There's something very 'simple' about having a little drone flying around Titan," says Neish, also a core member of Western's Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration (CPSX). "It's clever in a way that people weren't expecting and, I think, it's audacious and exciting - and realistic." The atmospheric veil of Titan—with its orange-brown haze of methane and nitrogen— obscures high-resolution views of Titan's surface, only partly lifted via images of one small area by the 2005 Huygens probe. "It's like landing on a London street and saying you've seen the whole Earth," says Neish. Based on lower-resolution images from the Cassini spacecraft, scientists envision that beneath the smoggy atmosphere run rivers of liquid methane and ethane that leave behind marble-sized ice pebbles when they flood low

lying terrain. A peculiar, ice-water chemical soup near or below the surface could be a nursery for some form of life. "The chemistry is going to be amazing but I'm really interested in what Titan looks like. I'm guessing it's just this weirdly wonderful world that looks like Earth—a strange, frozen sedimentary place—but with all the wrong ingredients," says Neish. Neish's specialty is the geology of planetary surfaces, specifically understanding the processes of impact cratering through radar imaging. She is involved in several spacecraft missions with international, multi-disciplinary teams. The two teams selected for continued study (the other project seeks to grab a sample from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and bring it to Earth for analysis) each received $4 million from NASA to mature their mission concepts during the remainder of 2018. In mid-2019, NASA plans to select a single mission and support its development with as much as $850 million in funding. If Dragonfly were chosen, it could launch as early as 2025 and then potentially take five years or more to reach Titan, says Neish. In space time, that's not long, she said, noting that Dragonfly has gone from hypothesis to concept to scale modelling in just two years.

Live Music Fridays: Q&A with Jace Martin By Chezney Martin BRANTFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beginning on Friday, March 23 the Live Music Fridays Concert Series is set to host a wide varierty of indigenous artists at Club N.V., to offer evenings with the likes of Derek Miller, Crystal Shawanda and Jace Martin. Martin provided some insight through a Q&A before the opening concert where he will be offering a performance alongside The Healers and The Pace this coming Friday. Q: How did you become a part of the series?

A: This Concert series has been a work in progress. I am the president of Darren Ross Agency, based on Six Nations that is in our 3rd year of operation. We connect artists with events. We have built a relationship with Club NV in Brantford over the past four years, holding N.Y.E. events, March Winter Blues Events and

other special events, but only one at a time. So I was excited that the club asked us to design and curate a concert series concept that would draw music fans and have the opportunity to be a yearly series. So I took that information and created a series called "LIVE Music Fridays" Concert Series that will take place from March 23 - Aug 31, 2018. The series will showcase some of the finest local artists & will feature a few headlining events. There are nine shows in the series and 14 bands being showcased.

we are expecting more of the same! Also, we wanted the first show to be right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to set the tone for the rest of the series. So our first three events are main events; with The Healers, Jace Martin. Then April 27, with the return of The "Big Joe" Blues Band with special guests The Bad Guys, that will be an awesome event that is creating a lot of hype. The third show features JUNO Winner, Derek Miller and we are thrilled to have Crystal Shawanda close the series August 31 2018.

A: I am excited to kick off the series with The Healers. My cousin Carter Bomberry performs with The Healers, so its always a great time to perform with family. The last show we did at Club N.V., was packed and filled with so much great energy, so

A: We are thrilled to have built relationships with so many artists over the years, with the Six Nations Concert for a Cure and the newly formed Six Nations Unity Festival that will take place in 2018. We feel like these opportunities don't really exist, so to be able to be a part of a team that is committed to showcasing Indigenous talent with promotion, great stage, venue, lighting, it is important, because we have so much talent and they need places to not only perform but be highlighted and celebrated for their talents and hard work. We added we feel every top tier artist locally and that makes for an amazing concert series that music lovers will enjoy all summer long.

Q: How do you feel about being a part of the opening night?

Q: Why do you think this series is a needed platform for indigenous artists?

Q: Through the nine shows there is a variety of indigenous artists, what do you think you add to the series as an individual artist yourself? A: My thoughts have always been about music as not just background

music for a night out, but an event. That music is medicine, to quote my good friend Derek Miller. I think what I bring and a lot of the artists in this series bring is a passion for music, performance and they all have the ability to energize people and to make people happy. We are trying to create a positive change through music and through unity of artists. That is the overall goal of Darren Ross Agency. To unite all Indigenous artists, so that we can dictate the mar-

ket, not have it dictated to us. There is room for every artist if they excel at what they do. I believe every artist in this series will bring everything they got, and the winners will be the audience. Q: If you were to describe this event to someone that wanted to know about it, how would you describe it?

A: I would say that it is a first of it's kind. This concept was to build a fanbase that will come to ex-

pect great live music. We hope that the audience will appreciate the talent in the series, and we can grow the series next year and keep it going for the future. Musicians need promoters, clubs and audience. But we need to all work together to have elite, exciting events and I believe this series accomplishes that, which I am very proud of the artist unity with support from Club N.V., who believes in the artist and vision.

Composer hopes 'Cuphead' Juno nod will change perceptions about video game music

The Canadian Press TORONTO — When orchestral percussionist Kristofer Maddigan began his years-long journey composing the soundtrack for a video game his friends were creating, he mostly kept the passion project to himself. As a genre, video game music doesn't get a lot of respect. ``I work with a lot of people who aren't gamers and I think if you're not in that world a lot of people think it's kind of a silly pastime,'' says the 38-year-old Regina native, who is now based in Toronto as the principal percussionist with the National Ballet of Canada Orchestra. ``Not every game is a work of art, but especially now with the indie game revolution, there's a lot of really interesting games being made and a lot of really incredible music being made for those games. ``But I didn't really

talk about it a lot because there's a lot of people who maybe don't understand the world so much and think it's maybe kinda goofy.'' But his work on the indie game ``Cuphead'' _ which was named one of the top titles of 2017 by the likes of Entertainment Weekly and game website Polygon _ won over the Juno Award judging committee who chose the contenders for this year's best instrumental album prize. The game's backing music, which was also released as an almost three-hour-long album, features a mix of jazz, big band and ragtime tunes recorded by live musicians, including a 13-piece big band and a 10-piece ragtime ensemble. While many video games use looping bits of music to play endlessly in the background, Maddigan and ``Cuphead'' creators Chad and Jared Moldenhauer decided they wanted fully formed

songs for the soundtrack that were true to the sound of the 1930s. The game's visual look is also inspired by cartoons and animation of that era. ``We sort of decided early on that we wanted the songs to stand on their own, especially because we knew we were going to be using live musicians as well.... It's a fairly different approach than most games have taken,'' Maddigan says, adding the project required a huge amount of research and he needed to be talked into taking it on. ``I recall saying, 'Definitely not, this is way out of my comfort zone,' but I think I was maybe the only musician they knew so they kind of persisted. ``I'd never written any big band music before, I'd done very little composition period (but) I've always loved jazz and liked music from that era.'' Maddigan hopes the Juno recognition will convince others that there's much more to

video game music than the low-fi ``Super Mario Bros.'' melodies so many gamers think of first when it comes to soundtracks. He also hopes some ``Cuphead'' gamers end up wanting to explore jazz and big band music. ``The game itself has the potential to expose a large group of people to this type of music, who either were not familiar with it at all or had dismissed it as being not cool,'' he says. ``This is maybe going to inspire people to go back and listen to the classic artists from that era, maybe check out any form of jazz music, even something more modern.'' Maddigan is up for the best instrumental album Juno along with Do Make Say Think for ``Stubborn Persistent Illusions,'' Five Alarm Funk for ``Sweat,'' Oktopus for ``Hapax,'' and Peregrine Falls for its self-titled album.

NASHVILLE – The Bluebird Café is where a young Taylor Swift was discovered 14 years ago and Logan Staats will soon be discovered by the city of Nashville after he performs there this Wednesday March 21. On social media Logan Staats posted, “Since I was a young man it’s been a dream of mine to perform at the legendary

Bluebird Cafe. It’s arguably one of the most iconic rooms for songwriters to leave their mark. Many artists have been discovered here, and continue to come back to this familiar place. The Bluebird is now one of the toughest venues to get tickets for, and one of the toughest venues to earn your place on stage at. I’m truly honoured. This Wednesday will be a night to remember.”

Kids Ride Free pilot program aims to make transitAnnual moreStrenaffordable for families thenin Our famil i es g g Taking Care of Our Own

By TRT staff

BRANTFORD – At this evening’s Committee of the Whole Operations and Administration meeting, Brantford City Council will consider a proposal for a three-year

pilot program that would allow for all children twelve years of age and younger to ride free on Brantford Transit. Currently, children four years of age and younger are able to ride for free. The proposal is part of a

process by which the City is re-examining its approach to Transit, specifically ways in which it can be made more affordable for families while inspiring the next generation of transit users. In February 2018,

Brantford City Council endorsed the Healthy Brantford Task Force 2018 Priorities and Action Plan, which identified improving outcomes for children and youth as a top community priority in 2018. This Task Force,

comprised of executive leaders from across the health and social services sector, specifically highlighted the role of access to services and social connections as key determinants of health and wellness. Community stakeholder groups have also expressed strong support for low-cost transit options. Feedback received from a variety of consultations and planning groups including the Age-Friendly Summit Series, Parker's Project Collaborative and Healthy Kids Community Challenge Steering Committee have strongly signaled that low-cost transit options could significantly improve health and wellness outcomes for Brantford residents. A 2017 research project identified access to services as one of the top ten community challenges experienced by children and youth. The Healthy Kids Community Challenge Steering Committee identified accessible transportation as a key barrier for children to participate in recreational and cultural activities. In 2015, and again earlier this month, the popular program provided free public transportation during the Healthy Kids Passport Challenge and

demonstrated that children and young families will increase their access to recreation if low-cost transit options are available. “This is a very important program that we anticipate will make a huge difference for families in our community,” said Josephine Cupoli-Atanas, the City’s General Manager, Health & Human Services. “We know that access to activities, services and recreation improves people’s overall well-being, so anything we can do to make it easier and more affordable for families to get connected to experiences and opportunities will enrich their lives now and into the future.” The proposed Kids Ride Free pilot program and efforts to increase the uptake of the Accessibility Pass are intended to serve as a direct policy response to this identified community need, and supports several objectives of the City’s Shaping Our Future: Community Strategic Plan 2014 to 2018. Other Transit Service improvements launching in September include extending half hour service Monday to Friday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and providing Sunday service from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

By Jim Windle MISSISSAUGA – Six Nations’ Haudenosaunee boxer Karl “the Razor” Hess met Mexico’s Mario Orozco, in Hess’ first professional fight, Saturday night at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga. In the end, the more experienced Mexican won with a split decision.

All the hype leading up to the fight as part of the under card for the main event was not exaggerated. Promoters say that around 300 tickets were sold on Six Nations alone, as well as First Nations boxing fans from the Toronto area and beyond for Saturday night’s battle. Hess was matched

up with another young boxer, Mario Orozco, fighting out of Mexico, who now has a professional record of 3-0 after the Hess fight, but it was not an easy night for him at all. Hess came out hard against the more experienced fighter and doubled him over with a powerful body shot in

the first round and had him hurt in the second. Hess took the first two rounds, but Orozco opened up more in the third, knocking Hess to the canvas with a glancing blow that caught Hess off balance. Hess also sustained a nose bleed which was looked after in the corner between rounds.

It came down to the fourth round. In professional boxing, the new fighters are eased into the pro-ranks with the first three being four round bouts, before moving up to six rounds and then to eight all before a full 10-12 round CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Karl "The Razor" Hess loses in split decision continued from page 21 fight. The last round was very even but Orozco seemed to carry the momentum. In the end it was a split decision with one of the three judges giving the fight to Hess. Although Hess did not get the win, he did win a lot of fans with his good looks, bull-like body and quick hand and foot speed. Coach Jackie Armour was more than satisfied with his fighter’s attitude, training and workout schedule, but he can see areas to work on at the professional ranks. Hess was fighting both Orozco and a flu bug that filled his sinuses, making it harder to breath in the ring, but this is not put up as any excuse by either Armour or his fighter. It was just a fact. Because the Ontario Boxing Commission is so careful with its young

and new boxers, when an opponent goes down as a result of a punch, no matter how hard it is, there is an automatic suspension from the ring for several weeks as a precaution. “Karl slipped at the moment of contact and went down,” says Armour, “He says he wasn’t hurt at all, but that’s the rules.” The promoter, United Boxing Promotions was very pleased with the show Karl and his rapidly growing Six Nations’ fan-base, calling the Hess Orozco fight as the best of the undercard bouts leading up to Main Event, where Josh O’Reilly called upon his Irish heritage on St. Patrick’s Day won his bout against Juan Orozco, the brother of Mario Orozco. Also on the card were Heavyweights, Franz Rill who KO’ed Sebastian Ceballos, middleweight Sukndeep Singh won over

Alejandro Garcia. In the light heavyweight bout, Jason Alexander and Darren Fletcher fought to a draw, and Tim Cronin took a decision over Juan Correa. Featherweight, Andranik Grigoryan defeated Cristian Palafox. Hess will continue his training, working on his cardio primarily, but he knows he is on the right track and is looking forward to his next profight, a little older and a lot wiser after his first professional outing. “It was awesome to see so many of Karl’s family and Six Nations fans come out,” said Armour after the fight. “The promoter was pleased and that is always a good sign.” Hess, his family, and the Black-Eye Boxing Club accounted for around 325 tickets most of them sold on Six Nations. “I got a call in the afternoon of the fight from a lady who lives in Mississauga but is of Six Nations heritage who just heard about the fight and was looking for a pair of tickets,” said Armour. “We were officially sold out, but I was able to find a pair for her.” After the fight, Hess got himself cleaned up, suited up and came out to a huge number of Six Nations fans looking for pictures with the Razor. No matter how disappointed he may have felt after the loss, with his first professional fight out of the way and with the experience gained in Mississauga, it may have been the best thing for

him in the longer run, says Armour. I think he did great, but he learned a lot that will make him

a better fighter moving forward.

Pro-Fit Corvairs could move on, Wednesday By Jim Windle

CALEDONIA – As of Tuesday, the Caledonia Corvairs were in the driver's seat against the Niagara Falls Canucks in round No.2 of the GOJHL Jr. B playoffs. After easily sweeping the Fort Erie Meteors in the first round, the Corvairs next hurdle was the Canucks. That series saw Caledonia earn three straight games, by the scores of 4-2, 4-2, and 6-0. But the Canucks are a proud bunch and they pulled

it all together in Game 4 to surprise the Corvairs 5-4 in Niagara, Monday night. A Caledonia win Wednesday night at the Haldimand Centre would move the Corvairs into the Golden Horseshoe Conference Championship series against the winner of the St. Catharines Falcons versus Ancaster Avalanche series which as of Tuesday, was tied at one game apiece. Looking back on the one goal win, perhaps the most damaging goal to Caledonia

was the first one, scored eight seconds into the game. Inexcusable in a playoff game especially, but Nolan Gardiner balanced the score from Cal Davis and Sean O'Brien. Kyle scored another early goal, short-handed, at 1:30 to give the Canucks a 3-1 lead. Bailey Fletcher scored at 8:10, to go into the third period down 3-2. Cole Mayo and Cal Davis put Caledonia ahead 4-3 by the six-minute mark. The Canucks tied it again at 6:27

and just when the fans were getting set for an OT period, Brandon McCorriston was whistled down for “roughing after the whistle” at 16:23, and at 17:10 Ryan Mooney scored on the ensuing penalty for the Niagara Falls win, sending the series back to Caledonia for Wednesday’s Game no.5. If necessary, Game 6 will be in Niagara Falls March 23rd and Game 7 at the Haldimand Centre March 24th.

Taking a look at the Lil’ NHL winners for 2018 By Jim Windle MISSISSAUGA – Six Nations Minor Hockey showed well at the lil’ NHL, all-indigenous hockey tournament in Mississauga over the March Break. More than 200 teams representing reserves from throughout Ontario competed in what has become the premier all-indigenous minor hockey tournament in Canada. This year’s tournament attracted a record number of teams, 209 in all, with the girl’s divisions showing the most growth. Founders of the tournament, Earl Abotossaway, former Chief Jim McGregor, the late

James D. Debassige, the late Reverend Leonard Self and the late Norman Debassige organized the first tournament during the Christmas break in 1971. The first tournament had 17 teams and a modest 200 players in Little Current. Today, in 2018, the tournament has grown to 209 teams and approximately 3000 players. There were 519 games in four days on 15 ice surfaces out of the Hershey Centre, Iceland, Meadowvale, Tomken Arenas and newly added in 2018, is the Carmen Corbasson Community Centre and Arena. After working through the preliminary round, Thursday March 15th, it

was the Championship rounding all divisions, at the Iceland rink as the Hershey Centre itself was preparing for Saturday night’s boxing show, which featured Six Nations own Karl Hess. Six Nations’ Atom Wolverines lost 6-0 to the Batchewana Attack who took the A Division Gold Medal leaving the Silver for Six Nations after a great series. The Six Nations Ironmen won the Boys Bantam A Final defeating the AOK Eagles in a tight 2-1 game. In the Girls Midget A Final, Nipissing First Nations squeezed out a 3-2 win over the Six Nations Wild, who took home the Gold while “The Wild” strong performance for

Brandon Montour is a really ace addition to Anaheim. trail the San Jose Sharks by three for second. Anaheim has played one more game than Los Angeles and San Jose.

"Any time you can play that complete game, it allows you to look back on different times and understand what it takes

to play at the moment and do those sorts of things," Getzlaf said. Montour’s snapshot from the high face-off circle almost drilled a hole in the net after he one-timed a perfect feed from Getzlaf. Montour started and finished the play. From the blue line, he passed to his other point man who put it up the boards to Rakell who moved it into the corner where Getslaf fooled everybody except Montour. Getzlaf took a step

towards the goal and left Montour, who slipped in off the point and drilled a pass to Montour who was waiting, stick cocked, and let it go the second it arrived bulging the twine high to the glove side. After a long four-game home-stand, the Ducks travel to Calgary to faceoff against the Flames Wednesday, Mar. 21st. Then it’s east to Winnipeg March 23, and back to Edmonton March 25th.

Razor disappointed but not disheartened By Jim Windle

BRANTFORD – There is still some disappointment in Karl “theRazor” Hess’ voice two days after losing his professional boxing debut, Saturday night at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga to Mexican fighter, Mario Orozco. Or maybe it was the laboured breathing that I heard in his voice. The truth is, it was a little of both. Hess trained hard, got into what he felt was great shape, got all the promotional pictures shot and made several appearances to promote the big fight, only to fall just short of the mark. As fully understandable that might be, in time, Hess may be able to watch that fight again and see what it looks like a little further from the disappointment. If he does, he will see better how he did. Hess introduced him-

self to a lot of important people in the fight game as a power puncher with a warrior’s heart. “I felt pretty good going in,” Hess told TRT. “But I was getting a cold or something a couple days before the fight and that affected my sinuses and my breathing as the fight went on.” Coach Jackie Armour noticed it in the Hess corner as well. “I kept telling him to move his head more and use your footwork,” he said after the fight. “But not breathing properly, he didn’t have the energy. I saw him breathing from his mouth late in the fight.” But neither the Razor or Armour will use it as an excuse, but rather a fact. Given the same opponent on any other night, and the results would have been different. “He (Orozco) was good, but I think I could

have beat him,” says Hess days after the fight. “I learned a lot,” he says. “I have to control my pace better. I was a little sloppy and I could have thrown more combinations.” Hess was officially down in the third after he misplaced his foot throwing his balance off for a second when Orozco hit him. “No, I wasn’t hurt at all,” he says. “I just stepped wrong as I punched and he caught me.” Boxing Ontario enforces stringent rules over bouts to protect the fighters, and with novice pro’s they are even more stringent. If a fighter is knocked down, there is a mandatory 30-day ban on any sparring or any training that would involve being hit in the head. But Hess will continue his cardio work and heavy and speed bag work.

SIX NATIONS – After ranking first place in “Bush League,” the Maulers continued their play offs at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena on Sunday evening and put their defence to work. The Maulers lost 7-6 to Hamilton to force game 3, and then came out on top 14-5 in best of 3, while the Wood Ticks lost to the Rez Dogs 6-9 – determining that the Rez Dogs and Maulers will battle for the top spot.
