Seeking a chance at a normal life

Tucker Haggith of Six Nations is just a year old and is living with the effects of Hirschsprung disease which bars him from living a normal life — but there is hope.

CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — After finding out that their son Tucker was born with the congenial condition known as Hirschsprung disease, both Timarah and Kyle Haggith were quick to want to find a treatment.

And they did.

The parents plan to take Tucker to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio in July for an evaluation and hopefully the surgery that will offer him more of a normal life. But with the decision to go to a specialist in Hirschsprung disease for the best treatment possible, the parents have been prompted to realize that they will have to pay the medical costs as none can be covered by OHIP in the U.S..

And the duo are determined to do so through fundraising efforts that have been ongoing. In regards to what Hirschsprung disease is, his mother was quick to explain as she hopes that more people will become aware.

Tucker here with dad Kyle and mom Timarah has been diagnosed with Hirschsprung Disease and is seeking help to travel to Ohio for special treatments.

“It’s a birth defect that affects the ganglion cells in the bowel and no case is the same,” said Haggith.

She explained that Hirschsprung disease is a condition that is present at birth and affects the large intestine and causes problems with passing stool.

The condition is caused as a result of missing nerve cells in the muscles of the baby’s colon and surgery to bypass or remove the diseased part of the colon is the treatment.

“For the first eight months of his life he was in and out of the hospital,” she said. “He had three surgeries and he’s had about four infections and we have to really be sterile at our home and be careful of who we let in to our home because if he even gets a common cold he gets really sick and it throws him right off. And we always have to keep him hydrated and he can’t gain weight as quickly as other children,

or go swimming like other children.”

But Tucker is one tough boy.

Within 24 hours of Tuckers birth at McMaster Children’s Hospital, doctors noticed that he had stopped eating, began vomiting and his stomach was severely distended.

He was quickly diagnosed with Hirschsprung disease.

After weighing just 11 pounds at four months old and three bouts of enterocolitis which is an inflammation of the digestive tract caused by infection, doctors opted to perform a ileostomy which is a surgical opening or stoma to allow his intestinal waste to pass to an external pouch attached on the outside of his stomach — rather than perform a surgery to remove seven inches of his large intestine.

Three months later, he was hospitalized again with the flu which caused another round of enterocolitis and when he was put through surgery to fix the stoma, doctors found that his bowel was full of ulcers.

Despite the medical issues, Tucker is starting

NOW OPEN!

to learn how to walk and talk But Haggith said that she believes it is still affecting his life in a way that they would like to see remedied.

“He can’t do things that a normal one year old child should be able to do,” she said. “He can’t go play in a sprinkler, he can’t go swimming, when he wakes up in the morning and if he lays on his stomach the output bag explodes, and if he crawls we can’t let him go shirtless because he’ll rip off the output bag.”

She further explained that Tuckers stomach has also become like a diaper rash, and it is the first thing she can’t wait to see healed as the fundraising is still continuing.

“The fundraising has been going really good and we’ve had a lot of support from our community and surrounding communities,” she said. “We are just so thankful.”

Tuckers father explained that he is both “nervous and excited,” for the surgery as he believes that they will inevitably reach their goal in providing their son with the best care possible with the

amount of support that they’ve garnered already.

“Tucker has just had a rough year and he deserves all of the best,” he said. “We’ve had tons and tons of help and everybody around us whether they be from Six Nations or Brantford, has been pitching in.

Even family and friends; everyone is just on board to get this disease fixed.

Everything has just been going beyond our expectations and there is no doubt in our minds that we’ll be able to reach our goal and get him the surgery he needs.”

If you would like to help: Help the Kids Organization and Sandusk Golf Course are set to host a golf tournament on Saturday, June 16 at 11 a.m., with an entry fee of $125 and a free cart and meal with all proceeds going to Tuckers expenses.

SIX NATIONS — Sometimes to move ahead, one has to go back. In the case of indigenous language preservation, this is certainly the case. With all six unique Haudenosaunee languages listed by the UN as among the world’s endangered languages, Six Nations Polytechnic has been at the spearhead of Indigenous education, since 1993, and last week Six Nations Polytechnic celebrated its language graduates at this year’s Convocation Ceremony and Reception.

The grads were led into the Grand River Room in by traditional drummers Cam Hill and Cleve Thomas as family friends and some very proud language instructors came to celebrate the future of Six Nations language preservation for the coming generations.

This new group of graduates helps ensure the precious tongues of the Haudenosaunee will not be silenced to future faces.

Two Row Times joins in congratulating these graduates and support the recovery of at least that part of what was becoming extinct only a few years ago. All six languages still remain on the world’s list of endangered languages,

The future is looking a little brighter for Six Nations language preservation and restoration after the latest crop of 2017-18 graduates achieved Bachelor of Arts degrees in Ogwehoweh Languages. The Convocation Ceremony was held at Six Nations Polytechnic Thursday, June 7th. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE

according to the United Nations.

President and CEO of Six Nations Polytechnic, Rebecca Jamieson addressed the gathering with a brief history of war brought them here to honour the grads.

“The journey up until this point has been long and at times arduous, but well worth it,” she began.

Shortly after opening in 1993, our staff embarked on a unique mission to achieve international distinction for excellence in indigenous education, language revitalization, and the continuance of indigenous knowledge,” she said while listing the many accomplishments Six Nations Polytechnic has

achieved since, not only for Six Nations, but with policy changes that open up the door to recognizing indigenous education as being “the third and unique pillar in post-secondary educational and training, in addition to publicly funded colleges and universities.”

Now, thanks to the enormous success and growth of Six Nations Polytechnic, equal opportunities now exist for post-secondary education, righter at home.

She went on to challenge the graduates to use their rediscovered languages as often and as creatively as possible and to teach it to others in the home through their unique Spirit given talent.

EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW The trial for the man accused of killing Six Nations resident Jonathan Styres is ongoing in Hamilton this week.

Two Row Times will be following the story and will have details about the case in the weekly edition of the newspaper as the trial and pending verdicts are released to the public.

However as a news organization we have made a decision not to publish graphic details accounting to the night Styres was shot and killed.

This was a very serious discussion with our team.

And perhaps for other news organizations revealing salacious details in a murder trial are important. However, Two Row Times and our publisher Jonathan Garlow have decided that for the people of Six Nations and in particular, family members of Jonathan Styres, those same details published in our community newspaper would be triggering and possibly traumatizing to our readership.

While we do not condemn other publications or journalists for including those details in their work — as it is important to include them in the public record — for us it was a decision made to honour the life of Jonathan Styres and not to objectify his death any further.

All too often the stories about our community that reach mainstream media become sensationalized, our traumas placed under the microscope to be analyzed and pulled apart by officials and analysts.

Some people even go so far as to call that genre of storytelling ‘trauma porn’.

So we have made a decision to not participate.

We will continue to cover discussions surrounding the jury selection, pursuit of justice for Styres death and the outcome of the trial and any upcoming sentencing but will be heavily editing graphic details about his passing out of respect for those still grieving that loss.

Nature Connections

By Quin Staats

Let it rain Ahh, summertime. It’s my personal favourite thing of all things; it has my birthday, it has berry season (reminding us life is sweet), and good old summer storms.

I’ve always been drawn to watch storms for as long as I can remember. I guess I found something mysterious in their impressive force and power. Yielding to nothing, and seeming to almost have a mission.

They terrified me, yet I anxiously awaited that massive boom and crack from an epic thunder and lightning storm.

I realize now that there is a secret message hidden in these Natural temper tantrums. I guess it’s no wonder I felt a pull towards storms, being a hot head myself.

Mother Earth is one giant beautiful living organism. At a few billions of years old, I’m inclined to believe that She’s got some things figured out.

And that is why I am always open to her lessons.

One evening, during a particularly sloppy and loud thunderstorm that I was watching, I connected yet again with the soul of the Earth and was taught a lesson in living.

I began to think of a big

storm, or even the tiniest bit of rainfall, as an exertion of pent up energy.

It is something Mother Earth needs to do in order to keep spinning the way that she spins.

And such alike are we Humans. It is very necessary for us to also purge any pent up energy in order to keep us from spinning out of control.

Think of it like a sneeze: tickling your nose and waiting to come out. If you are to hold it in, it could actually potentially do some harm to your body.

When you let it out...it feels great! Much like a rainbow after a storm.

One of the worst things that we can do to our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health is to deny ourselves to express how we are feeling when we are feeling it. Holding back tears is just as bad as denying ourselves to feel happiness, and the sickness that comes from denying love.

Whatever the storm may be, we must release the

energy that comes with it.

It is only natural for us to experience this range of positive and not so positive emotions, just like the fluctuations of weather. When the negative suddenly shows up, we must remember that as sudden as it came, it will also suddenly go. We must remember that it’s just our “storm-time”, an exertion of pent up energy, that will soon turn into a rainbow.

A storm is like one of Mother Earth’s strategies of stress relief. One would be wise to take this lesson from our few-billion-yearold Mother and allow ourselves to purge pent up energy in order to rebalance and keep spinning on with ease.

In the simplest terms: if it’s gonna rain, let it rain.'

A few weeks ago we announced Quin was taking a writing break but we were wrong! Her vacation begins in August, not June we are sorry for the mistake.

A CDN Constitution: Part 6 (Final) The following is an excerpt from an interview by George Barr, KING’S Council, with R. Rogers Smith sometime in the mid 1940s and on “Ligue pour l’Union Federale”, 822 Sherbrooke Est, Mtl. (Acquired from the Ka-Nee-Ka-Neet collection) Two weeks ago Mr. Barr discovered the jurisdiction, functions and authority of the different Privy Council's and the Canadian Cabinet as it was in the 1940s.

JURISDICTOIN OF THE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE

Q. The Provincial Legislature is of course elected by the people and under the British North America Act, section 92, has jurisdiction over certain specific matters supposed to be of local concern and interest. The same procedure and authority within its competence is largely the same as that exercised by the Dominion House of Commons within its competence.

A. The Legislature of the Province is composed of a Lieutenant Governor and elected members, varying in the different Provinces as to number. Contrary to popular conception, the Lieutenant Governor is the more important part of the Legislature. The members of the Legislature may enact a measure but it does not become law until assented to by the Lieutenant Governor. It has not been long since the Clerk of the

Alberta Legislature arose in the house and said that “His Honour the Lieutenant Governor doth reserve these Bills for the signification of His Excellency the Governor General’s pleasure thereon”.

No other action but this was taken. The members of the Alberta Legislature, assuming that Lord Tweedsmuir was a duly authorized Governor General appointed

by Great Britain and that no enactment made by them would be considered law unless it were assented to by some appointee in the Government of Great Britain, thought that their Act had been disallowed but no specific action was ever taken in relation to those Bills as can be verified by consulting the Canada Gazette. In explanation, I may say that it would be necessary for the disallowance of an Act of the Legislature by the Governor General, that some proclamation be published in the Canada Gazette before such Bill could be disallowed.

Q. In connection with these three bills then, Mr. Smith, as I understand it, the Lieutenant Governor, having received no reply from the Governor General, never assented to the Bills so that they really never became law?

A. That is correct. The Lieutenant governor of the province is to all intents and purposes the “alter ego” of the Governor General.

PROVINCIAL CABINET

Their function and jurisdiction within the sphere of competence under the British North America Act is practically the same as that of the Dominion Cabinet within its sphere of competence.

Q. What, in your opinion, was the effect on Canada’s status of the Statute of Westminster, Mr. Smith?

A. The Statute of Westminster has altered the status of each and every Province of Canada. Section 11 of the Statute of Westminster raises each Province of Canada from the position of a Colony to that of a sovereign state. Section 11 is as follows; “Meaning of “Colony” in future acts. Notwithstanding anything in the Interpretation Act, 1889, the expression “Colony” shall not, in any Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed after the commencement of this Act, include a dominion or any Province or State forming part of a Dominion”.

As there is no intermediate status between that of a Colony and a sovereign state and any Province of Canada is no longer a Colony, they must, of necessity, be sovereign states as they come within the requirements set for the in section 11.

Q. You are aware of course, Mr. Smith, that under section 7, subsection (1) the benefit of the Statute CONTINUED ON PAGE 27

Murder trial begins for Canadian charged with killing Indigenous man STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

HAMILTON — The second-degree murder trial of a white homeowner charged with gunning down an Indigenous man who was allegedly stealing his 15-year-old pickup truck got underway Tuesday under close watch of First Nations leaders in Ontario.

The case has some similarities to the racially fraught trial and acquittal earlier this year of a white Saskatchewan farmer accused of murdering an Indigenous man.

In his opening statement, Crown lawyer James Nadel told jurors that the white accused, Peter Khill, shot Jon Styres, 29, in the early hours of Feb. 4, 2016.

The shooting took place on the driveway in front of Khill's rural home outside Hamilton. ``This case is about a killing that never should have happened,'' Nadel told the trial, noting that the muzzle of Khill's shotgun was less than four metres from Styres'

Jon Styres (right).

chest. ``Two shots. Two hits. One in the chest. One in the back of his shoulder.''

In brief opening comments, defence lawyer Jeffrey Manishen admitted his client, who has no criminal record and has pleaded not guilty, killed Styres, of Ohsweken, Ont., on the Six Nations Reserve. ``He did in fact shoot John Styres twice with a shotgun,'' Manishen told the five women and seven men on the jury. ``(Styres) died of those injuries.''

Khill, then a 26-yearold mechanical technician and licensed millwright, had served as a reservist with a Brantford artillery regiment of the Canadian Armed Forces. He has been on bail since shortly after his arrest and, dressed in a suit and tie, quietly watched proceed-

ings from his lawyers' table.

Hamilton Const. Matthew Robinson testified to responding to a distress call from a woman that her boyfriend had shot someone on the driveway. He arrested Khill at the scene, court heard.

The accused was calm, co-operative and ``in awe'' at what had happened, and said at one point he had tried to save the victim, Robsinson said.

The officer said Khill made several statements while in the back of the cruiser. ``I'm a soldier. That's how we were trained. I came out. He raised his hands to like a gun height.

It was dark. I thought I was in trouble. Does self-defence mean anything in court?'' Robinson recounted Khill saying.

The case has shades of the emotionally charged acquittal by an all-white jury of white Saskatchewan farmer Gerald Stanley, who was accused of murdering an Indigenous youth, Colten Boushie, in August 2016.

That jury heard Boush-

ie and some friends had been drinking before they broke into a truck on one farm, then headed onto Stanley's property to ask for help for a flat tire. Stanley testified that he thought his ATV was being stolen. After firing warning shots, he said his gun went off accidentally, striking Boushie in the head.

The Boushie case led to protests against a justice system Indigenous people argued was racist, even prompting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to say Canada has to ``do better.''

In a statement on Monday, Six Nations Chief Ava Hill said Styres' death has had a ``significant impact'' on the community and the trial would be closely watched. ``Indigenous people will not feel safe until there is a justice system in place that values Indigenous lives,'' Hill said.

Jurors at the trial before Superior Court Justice Stephen Glithero were all asked whether they could be impartial given the races of accused and victim.

Bee yard to help declining numbers HAMILTON — Experts say there aren't enough bees in our ecosystem — so the city of Hamilton is working with local beekeeper to install a bee yard on the city’s waterfront.

Twelve boxes will be installed on the land, separated into three miniature hives that will each

carry about 500 bees.

The project's goal is to provide food and shelter for pollinator bees in the area.

Major losses in the bee population are largely due to chronic exposure to insecticide.

He says pollination by honeybees is a crucial part of food production.

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANTFORD — Mayor Chris Friel had a strong message for everyone listening at Monday’s Pride Flag Raising event at City Hall.

“I’m going to be so blunt because I can’t say anything else about it. Does not happen in our community. F*ck Nazi’s - period,” said Friel — who responding to an increasing and active presence of hate group rallies, recruitment and swastika graffiti in Brantford.

Guests at the first of a full week’s worth of Pride events celebrating the city’s LGBTQ2S+ community erupted into cheers and applause at the mayor’s response.

Organizers at Brantford Pride Flag raising, in it’s eighth year, opened the event with a land acknowledgment recognizing Brantford and Brant County as the traditional territory of the Annishnabe and Haudenosaunee people.

Brantford Pride is committed to efforts of ongoing reconciliation and decolonization based on the needs and suggestions given by members of Brantford Pride and Indigenous folks within the Brantford and surrounding communities.We are all treaty people. We encourage members of the LGBTQ2S+ community to expand their knowledge of colonization

this history of this land and the many ways colonization continues to manifest.”

The official rainbow flag will fly at city hall for the week, sharing space with a Philippines flag in celebration of Filipino Independence Day on June 12.

The entire week will be filled with activities to celebrate Brantford’s LGBTQ2S+ community.

JUNE IS SENIORS’ MONTH IN ONTARIO. 2018 MARKS THE 34TH ANNUAL SENIORS' MONTH. TWO ROW TIMES CELEBRATES TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE MANY CONTRIBUTIONS AND THE IMPORTANT ROLES ELDERS AND SENIORS PLAY IN OUR COMMUNITY. THIS YEAR’S SENIOR'S MONTH THEME IS “LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE". HERE ARE SOME GUIDELINES TO ENSURE A HEALTHY BALANCE, KEEPING HEALTH IN CHECK.

RETIREES EAGER†† RETIREES EAGER TO TRY NEW RETIREES EAGER† TO HEARING AID TO TRY TRY NEW NEW HEARING HEARING AID AID

HOW TO IMPROVE MEMORY AND COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN THE AGING POPULATION 1. Introduce games to your parent that call for thinking and evaluating before action. Examples include crosswords, picture puzzles, word puzzles and playing cards.

2. Ask the kids to complete a puzzle or game with grandma or grandpa every week. When it is finished, congratulate both grandparent and grandchild for being a great team. Again, social interaction boosts the benefit of doing fun puzzles.

3. Suggest to your parent start a diary and buy a quality book and a special pen to start. Share with your parent that they have accomplished much over the years that should be shared and recorded. Suggest that the diary include "things or projects I want to do". When your parent starts thinking about tomorrow, a lot of stress and depression should disappear.

4. Proper nutrition is vital, particularly a diet strong in antioxidants. Fresh fruits and vegetables are vital to provide what other parts of the body may now be denying to the brain. Other physical challenges may also reduce immune system effectiveness. Therefore, adding more antioxidants can definitely benefit brain function. Interestingly, most research endorses coffee – specifically its caffeine - as a benefit to improved brain function.

Caffeinated teas may have a similar benefit.

5. Kicking the smoking habit can be a challenge at any age. It does end smoking’s negative effects to the brain. Remove the ashtrays and lighters from your parent's quarters. If you do smoke, don't do it around Mom or Dad.

6. Physical exercise and movement is vital to best functioning of the older adult brain. A daily walking regimen – even just several times around the block - is something that another family member can volunteer for. If your parent has mobility challenges, then in-home exercises, such as standing on one leg for 12 to 20 seconds and shifting to the other leg, may be appropriate and effective. The exercise produces aerobic benefits to the brain, lungs and the heart as well as general physical condition.

7. Loneliness can be crippling for older adults, particularly if they withdraw from social events or relationships. Invite visitors to visit with Mom or Dad, whether on a one-time or weekly basis. Advise them to call on your parent for observations of historic events and current events, particularly because of their knowledge of the past and, importantly, about what your parent wants to accomplish tomorrow, next month or even years in the future.

CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE 8. Laughing has proven health benefits. If your parent is often isolated, movies and books can provide entertainment. Both Netflix and blockbuster. com enable you to order movies online that are delivered directly to the home. Viewing comedy films give a comedic high while also helping to clobber depression and its negative side effects.

9. At least once each week, take out your parent on an outing. It may to a restaurant, a visit to a fair, entertainment or special event, even something as simple as lunch at the senior center.

10. Retirement can be a scary time for older adults. When they were working or being active in the community, your parents felt respected and important. In older age, that sense of acceptance or identification is often lost. Try to get them involved in volunteering, where they can regain that sense of accomplishment.

Warrior Park Athletics holds Open House Meet and greet with ninja warrior trainers and volunteers

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The home of a new ninja warrior training program at Six Nations is nearing completion and the park’s beginnings were shown off during the first Warrior Park Athletics Meet & Greet this weekend.

Guests at the park were invited to register their children for this summer’s 4 week-long fitness programs. Altogether the park will be training about 200 youth from June through to September.

Warrior Park Athletics President Micheal Hill is still in the beginning phase of getting the Six Nations permanent structure in place - it is set to arrive and begin installation on June 17th.

The program is now full and hosting a free month for youth from mid-June to July with the help of community sponsors.

“The ninja warrior style course provides excellent strength building play. It’s the ultimate workout that provides challenging full

body engagement. It also is a perfect measuring tool.

Kids will get to see their improvements through conquering obstacles that at first presented resistance,” said Hill.

And he’s already got big plans for the future — including a vision to get a mobile park together to travel to other First Nations communities to give more on-Rez youth a weekend ninja warrior

experience.

“Our travelling expansion will happen this fall.

We will be fundraising to provide athletic wear for the communities we visit.

It is our goal to have a dedicated crew that does this consistently through all of next season. Our crew will will include certified trainers, coaches a registered dietitian, social worker and volunteers,” said Hill.

The mobile program will

have two sections offering a total of 4 obstacles with the ability of swapping them out for an all new set on the next day. “We will do exactly what we do at our park: 30 minutes of group

exercising followed by warrior obstacle training.

While the kids are hard at play the parents will have the opportunity to learn practical healthier alternatives in food selection and preparation.”

Megan Martin and Taylor Hodgeson are two volunteers with the program who were at this weekend’s Meet & Greet.

They estimated about 100 guests came to visit the park over the weekend.

Hill said as the date for the program launch nears he is grateful for all the volunteers and donors who are helping the park become a reality and says he is “grateful for all the support from local businesses and volunteers.”

“The Team is really excited we just finished up a meeting and will be doing some practice runs Thursday,” said Hill.

Hill was very grateful to all the sponsors who have helped the vision for Warrior Park Athletics become a reality.

Just two days before the Open House, Hill said 10 volunteers helped to place 15,000 square feet of sod to make the park visitor ready.

“Thank you to all the business that played a part in making this a reality. To Maegan Martin and Bon Hill who have been putting in countless volunteer hours. To Taylor for being supportive of long hours and taking over everything other than the park. A huge thank you to my Unk Kenny Hill who has been a great mentor to me and has helped out greatly. This program is here — it has been a lot of people’s obsession — and it has been motivated by pure love for our future,” said Hill.

No 'Rocky Mountain high:' Banff City Council bans smoking, vaping cannabis in public places CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BANFF, AB — The Alberta resort town of Banff has banned smoking or vaping cannabis in public places once it becomes

legal.

Council has decided to limit the use of marijuana to private property in the small mountain town that attracts a large number of international tourists and has a reputation as a place to get a ``Rocky Mountain high.''

``I don't think we're naive,'' Mayor Karen Sorensen said Tuesday. ``Cannabis use within the town of Banff certainly happens and it happens fairly regularly, as it probably does in most municipalities. ``What we're suggest-

ing is we, at this point, don't see a need for cannabis use in public places that potentially will impact residents and visitors.''

Town officials said in their report to council that the decision could have a cost related to

enforcement.

But they noted that an outright ban will be easier to manage and enforce than allowing cannabis in places such as parks, picnic areas and pathways _ as permitted under provincial legislation.

Cannabis tends to align with either alcohol in terms of cognitive functioning or tobacco in terms of impact to second-hand smoke exposure, said the report.

Sorensen said Banff has taken a cautious public health approach with its local bylaw. ``Because impairment of cognitive functioning is an outcome of cannabis use, that seems to be a big reason for our rationale for keeping it out of the public realm,'' she said. ``There seems to be this key distinction in aligning it to alcohol rather than tobacco.''

Council said it will revisit the rules a year or two after cannabis becomes legal. ``This approach is giving us time,'' she said. ``As we start moving into the commercialization of edibles and we start to see things like cannabis lounges or cafes being permitted, it gives us time to see how all of this legislation is going to roll out.''

Federal legislation to legalize recreational cannabis is expected to be passed later this year.

REGINA — A new study suggests that the incidence of epilepsy among Indigenous Canadians is twice that of non-Indigenous people.

Research from the University of Saskatchewan showed a national rate annually of 62 new cases per 100,000 people. But for self-identified First Nations patients, that rate doubles to 122 per 100,000.

Lead researcher Jose Tellez-Zenteno, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine, said he couldn't point to the exact reason for the difference, but it could be connected to higher rates of traumatic brain injury in Indigenous populations.

WWII Navajo Code Talker Samuel Tom Holiday dies at age 94 ST. GEORGE, UT — Samuel Tom Holiday, one of the last surviving Navajo Code Talkers, died in southern Utah Monday surrounded by family members who raised money through a crowdfunding campaign to be by his side.

He was 94.

Holiday was among hundreds of Navajos who used a code based on their native language to transmit messages in World War II. The Japanese never broke it.

He was 19 when he joined the Marine Corps and became a part of operations in several locations across the Pacific during the war, according to The Spectrum. A mortar explosion left him with hearing loss, but he would later tell family that he always felt safe during battle because of a pouch around his neck holding sacred stones and yellow corn pollen.

He received a Congressional Silver Medal, a Purple Heart and other recognition for his action during the conflict.

After the war, Holiday

Samuel Tom Holiday was a proud Navajo and highly decorated veteran of war.

returned to the Navajo reservation and worked as a police officer, a ranger and later started his own equipment company. He married Lupita Mae Isaac and had eight children.

In 2013, Holiday cowrote a book about his experience as a Code Talker called ``Under the Eagle.''

Fewer than 10 Code Talkers are believed to be alive today. The

exact number is unknown because the program remained classified for several years following the war.

Holiday spent his later days living at the Southern Utah Veterans Home in Ivins, Utah.

Shortly before his death, family members turned to the crowdfunding site GoFundMe to raise $4,000 to be able to visit him in hospice care. The Navajo Nation said he was surrounded by friends and family when he died.

There will be a viewing at the Hughes Mortuary in St. George, Utah, on Thursday and funeral services in Monument Valley on Friday, according to the Navajo Nation Council.

Holiday will be buried at a veterans' cemetery in the Navajo community of Kayenta, Arizona, next to his wife.

The library at the Kayenta Middle School is named for Holiday.

He is survived by five children, 35 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

Indigenous fashion week 2018 photos

By Chezney Martin TORONTO — Indigenous Fashion Week Toronto (IFWTO) launched its fourday festival on May 29, and brought a Trade and Consumer Marketplace to the Harbour-front Centre from Friday, June 1 to Sunday, June 3.

While the festival featured a multi-platform event that hosted some of the most distinctive and progressive Indig-

enous-made fashion, textiles, workshops and crafts, is also showcased the celebration of global Indigenous expression in fashion and the arts included in its grounding in Indigenous knowledge, ways of life and storytelling.

It’s turtle saving season CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

As soon as warm weather hits, many of us expect to see turtles out and about.

But sometimes on their excursions or nesting ground hunts; roads, highways or trails can stand between the turtles and their intended destinations. In Ontario, you can’t go much farther than 1-2 kms without running into a road, and many turtles lay their eggs on land far away from their watery habitats.

But although many of us from Six Nations know turtles aren’t as slow as they’re claimed to be, but rather cautious and careful, it is easy to know that turtles and speeding traffic aren’t a good mix.

Every year, hundreds of turtles are severely injured or killed on roads.

The saddest part about this fact is that even if a turtles shell is crushed, turtles can remain alive for days or even weeks in agonizing pain because of their slow metabolisms.

So how do we help?

Whether this has been a sub-conscious duty upheld by Turtle Clan members or simple human decency, if you travel the roads of Six Nations you will often find a car or truck that pulled over to help a turtle cross the road during this time of year.

But advice in how to do this varies.

For the more calm tempered turtles like the painted, blandings, or spotted turtles, it is easiest to pick them up firmly by their sides and carry them in the direction they were facing. If you try to change their course for them, the turtle is very likely to simply try to cross the road again in the direction it wanted to go in the first place.

But for the larger and scarier turtles such as the snapping turtle, the most recommended way is to hurry the process along by using a blunt object to carefully push the turtle in the direction it wants to go. There have also been many family stories circulated about extremely large snapping turtles stopping on the road, and men having to entice the turtle to bite a stick before they picked it up at the sides to move it along without worry of getting bitten.

As well, PETA suggests not to relocate the turtles and if a turtle is injured they advise to take it to a wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian.

Turtles belong to the oldest reptile group after being around for over 250 million years and many mature from the age of 8 years to 20 years, so saving them during this season will definitely impact their growing or decreasing numbers.

SIX NATIONS — At the beginning of the season, the Rebels defeated the Hamilton Bengals 11-8.

But as the season has progressed and the Bengals have taken full advantage of new coaching staff, the Bengals took a win versus the Rebels on their home turf last Friday.

This made for one of the best games to see for spectators as the two teams played a long game of back and forth.

One minute into the period, the Rebels came out hot and Kobe Whitcomb scored from the draw unassisted. This seemed to set the tone for the rest of the game, but the Rebels weren’t quite connecting with the back of the net as much as they usually do.

And the Bengals took full advantage.

Five minutes into the period and for a good half of it, the goals went in one after another. Six goals were racked up onto the scoreboard for the visiting team in the course of ten

Arrows offer up a win to Brampton Excelsiors Ausin Staats was targeted and neutralized by the Excelsior defence

CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — With a win over the Excelsiors 7-5 on Friday, June 8 at Century Gardens, it was easy to expect the Arrows to take another win the following Sunday.

But the team was missing a lead defender Jerry Staats on defence and passes were falling short or being overthrown on offence throughout the game. This made it seem that the Arrows chemistry on the floor was off.

The first period allowed the Excelsiors to score the first goal, but the Arrows were quick to return two more to take the lead by the middle of the period.

Goals from Owen S. Hill and Travis Longboat gave the impression that they were going to lead for the rest of the game.

However, with a few minutes left in the period the Excelsiors scored twice, ending the period one goal ahead. And coming back to the floor for the second period amped up, gave the Excelsiors their highest scoring period.

The Arrows came out strong too though, with goals from Hill for his second, Longboat for his second and Austin Staats for his first. But each goal was returned a mere few seconds after each, which showed that Brampton was prepared to keep the lead at all costs as the Arrows found themselves short-handed for six minutes of the period in penalties.

This allowed the Excelsiors to rack up five goals and the Arrows to only return one by Longboat from Staats, finalizing the period 6-11.

The third period was a low scoring period, as the Excelsiors focused on maintaining their lead by amping their defence and the Arrows tried to connect with one another on offence. But missed passes and intercepted passes chewed time out of the period, and left the Arrows only able to score twice.

Longboat and by Leland Powless from Staats and Kevin Owen Hill were cancelled out by the three goals the Excelsiors earned by the end. This finalized the game 8-14.

Overall, the game could have been won had the focus been in the right places.

Staats, who ranks third among league scoring leaders with 55 points, was locked off by the Brampton defence. This

put a lot of pressure on Staats to fight to get to the net and more pressure to take the lead by the other shooters. With a lot of tries, Staats could only bury once, but switched his focus to feeding cutters and assisted in six goals alone.

But Jeff Teat, who serves as the Excelsiors captain, is ranked second among league scoring leaders with 57 points.

The Arrows didn’t lock

him off in the same way the Excelsiors took to removing Staats from plays, and he was quick to score a full five goals and assist in four. Had he been guarded closely, the Arrows would have been able to take the game.

For their next home game, the Arrows are set to host the Barrie Lakeshores on Thursday, June 14 at the ILA at 7pm.

WASHINGTON — The Washington Capitals, now Stanley Cup Champions, were welcomed with a celebratory parade that travelled down Constitution Avenue Tuesday morning as they brought the city’s first major four pro-sports championship in 26 years.

Joined by four F-16 Fighting Falcons who performed a flyover 25 minutes in, with season ticket holders that have remained since 1974, high school marching bands

and D.C. Fire Department pipes and drums, the parade honoured their victory for the city.

As first-time Stanley Cup champions, the Washington Capitals have been acting like they’ve never been champions before.

And it’s well deserved as they are the first new Cup champions since the Los Angeles Kings in 2012, and they now finally sit on top of the NHL after almost 10 early playoff exits.

The coming days and weeks will bring more clarity on the future for the team, and the next quest for the Cup begins in less than three months.

SIX NATIONS — Full of pest-like defenders and determined offence, the Fergus Thistles started out slow but won the race versus the Six Nations Junior ‘C’ Warriors at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena on Saturday, June 9.

The initial first period placed the Warriors ahead by two, as goals went in one after the other by Luke Montour, Jaxon Martin with two and Jordan Myke. The Thistles could only muster a two goal return by the end of the period and it looked like the Warriors were well in for a win.

But as the game progressed, the Warriors couldn’t quite seem to con-nect on offence as the Thistles would rush their offenders and be quick to collapse to the inside and scoop up rebounds.

This began in the second period, as the Thistles seemed to wake up and the Warriors seemed to relax and focus on defence. But this brought out three penalties for the Warriors and left them one man short for

This allowed the Thistles to rack up a full eight goals, even though they themselves were a man short for twelve minutes.

The extra space with four on four was used for quick cuts and on-time break aways for the Thistles, which led to the Warriors only putting three into the net as a re-turn. One unassisted goal by Kennedy Miller, one from Martin and anoth-er from Jon Perry ended the period.

Beginning the third period 7-10, the Warriors seemed focused on fixing the deficit as only with a minute into the period Perry scored his second from Martin, from Matthew Miller. But Zach Cameron of the Thistles was quick to return two more.

The Thistles then earned two more goals before the Warriors made a re-turn. Todd Thomas Jr. shot from the outside with a nice picked corner, and two minutes later Jaxon

With one of their teammates in net and without a lot of gumption, the Merchants played as though they had already lost.

And the Rivermen showed no mercy.

Within the first 57 seconds of the game, Wayne Hill connected with the back of the Merchants net.

Another was bounced in by Rayce Vyse and another by Brendan Muise within minutes. This put the Rivermen ahead and the Merchants to play

Martin scored his fourth of the game.

But that would close scoring for the Warriors for the rest of the period, even though the opportunity for a few easy power-play goals was set up with the Thistles in the box.

The game ended with the Thistles scoring a final goal unassisted for a fi-nal of 10-15.

While previously defeating the Thistles 22-9, the Warriors are still on top in the West Division regular league standings with 20 points.

They will host the Wilmott Warriors at the ILA next week on Saturday, June 16 at 2 p.m..

catch up, which they seemed keen to do as they scored twice more before the end. But with only 59 seconds left, Josh Byers snuck another in for his first. Finishing the period 4-2 for what seemed to be an interesting game.

But as the second period came around the Rivermen didn’t hold back in scoring.

Six goals were racked up throughout the period

by Muise for his second and third, Greg Long-

boat, Brock Farmer, Alex Martin on a break away, and Joe Maracle Jr.. The Merchants were only able to return one goal as they played far to the outside and seemed too timid to go to the inside for shooting opportunities.

With the scoreboard already heavily uneven, the Merchants did land the first goal of the third period. But with goals from Marcus Elvin, two

by Danton Miller, Vyse for his second; the efforts

Brooklin defense had a tough time.

June 13th, 2018

A Canadian Constitution: Part 6 of Westminster insofar as the Dominion itself is concerned, is withheld, that is, the provisions of section 2 in regard to the Colonial Laws Validity Act do not apply to the British North America Act. Consequently the dominion Government cannot repeal or amend any portion of that Act. Is it not fair to say then that insofar as the Dominion is concerned, the Statute of Westminster left us in exactly the same position as we were before, that is insofar as the Dominion Parliament is concerned.

A. The answer is no!

The British North America Act is a statute of the Imperial Parliament creating an ancillary body to aid and advise the governor General and it could only be effective if there is a duly appointed Governor General for Canada. As no person receives any credentials from the Crown in chancery to act as Governor General of Canada, we may, if we choose, disregard the British North America Act. As section 7, para. 2, grants to each Province individually those powers which were granted to the Commonwealth of Australia, the Union of South Africa, the Irish Free State, new Zealand and Newfoundland, the Provinces of Canada can either assert themselves as sovereign states or they may mutually agree to create a union of the Provinces.

Q. What, if any, difference is there in respect to the appointment of a Governor General in Canada since the passing of the Statute of Westminster?

A. In answering your question, I may say, without fear of contradiction, that since the enactment of the Statute of Westminster, no Governor General has been dispatched to Canada by the British Government, or any department of that Government. Instead of a governor General, we now have a British high Commissioner, the present incumbent of that office being the Rt. Hon. Malcolm MacDonald, whose address is Earnscliffe, Ottawa.

Q. By way of preliminary to answering this question , the following statement is illuminating: The debate on the Quebec Resolutions October 10, 1884, in the Legislature of Upper and Lower Canada

ended by ratification March 13th., 1865. Immediately the Imperial Parliament countered the move by enacting the Colonial laws Validity Act, June 29th., 1865, to show the Colonists that it was they and not the Colonial Legislature that had the power to govern. Revising the draft and briefing the Quebec Resolutions in the form of a Bill, called the Kingdom of Canada papers, John A. MacDonald and delegates from Canada, Nova Scotia and new Brunswick, presented these to the Earl of Carnarvon, Secretary for the Colonies, December 26th., 1866. Instead of bluntly refusing, the Earl of Carnarvon delegated Lord Thring parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury to draft a Bill to conform as much as possible to the Kingdom of Canada draftbut to nullify its purpose by not disturbing in any particular the authority of the Governor General to act as a dictator. John A. MacDonald got a wife, a title, and a membership in His Majesty’s Imperial Privy Council and Canada got the British North America Act. 1767. The Island of St. John was granted to proprietors and re-named “Prince Edward Island”.

1770. Prince Edward Island was separated from Nova Scotia. A Constitution was granted to Walter Patterson. This is the only constitution document in the Archives of Prince Edward Island.

Q. Under these circumstances, Mr. Smith, what would your recommendation be to the Canadian people in order to remove this anomaly and establish a Government that would be the sovereign authority?

A. In my opinion, the logical solution is a Federal Union of the Provinces. It is illogical for us to decry disunity in Canada before a union has been achieved.

The definition of a Federal Union, as given in the Law Dictionary, is a “union of sovereign states mutually adopting a Constitution.”

There can be no coercion in the construction of a mutually adopted Constitution. It is only by co-operating that Nationhood can be made a reality. Lord Campbell, Leader of the Opposition in the House of Lords when the Earl of Carnarvon Introduced the Bill-The British North America Act-said: “It

would scarcely be possible to break the artificial unity we now propose to organize”. (Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates, U. K., Vol. 185. p. 1016) The Colonies composing Canada were stuck together by the British North America Act. Nova Scotia objected in the strongest terms. The Colony appointed a delegation, headed by Joseph Howe, to present a petition to Parliament, signed by 30,000 voters of Nova Scotia: “That Nova Scotia be relieved of this measure, or that a commission of inquiry be appointed”. John Bright presented this petition to the House of Commons. It was rejected, the vote being 183 to 87.

Nova Scotia was compelled to become a member of the United Colony. Howe, in his departing speech, said: “We go home to share the perils of our native land in whose service we consider it an honour to labour and whose fortunes in this darkest hour of her history it would be cowardice to desert”.

To “adhere” does not mean to “cohere”. To be stuck together may have been the best expedient at the time. Today the position is intolerable. Each Province of Canada is a sovereign state. No sovereign state can coerce another sovereign state except by force of arms. What does the future hold? Is Canada to become an armed camp, each at the other’s throat?

Or can we unite to create a federal Union, mutually adopting a Constitution, each respecting the autonomous powers the others desire to retain? This is the question which must be answered. Sovereignty and the ownership of land go hand in hand. In this respect I would like to draw a distinction between POSSESSION and OWNERSHIP. The slave may possess his Physical body which his master owns. Colonists may possess lands which are owned by some Sovereign state. They are in the position of share-croppers.

As there is no intermediate state between that of a Freeman and a Slave, neither is there an intermediate state between a Colony and a Sovereign State. They are either one or the other.

If Canada were not a Colony in 1931, section 11 of the Statute of Westminster

27

would be superfluous. This section reads as follows; “Notwithstanding anything in the Interpretations Act 1889, the expression “Colony” shall not in any Act by the parliament of the United Kingdom passed after the commencement of this Act include a Dominion or any Province or State forming part of a Dominion.”

This is in unequivocal terms-states that after December 11th., 1931, each Province of Canada, previously cognized as Colonies are now recognized as Sovereign States. They are no longer share-croppers, nor do they pay any lease to the Crown in Chancery

or Department of Lands of Great Britain. They own the land. Only the owner of land can make the law of the land. Sovereignty and the ownership of land go hand in hand. This is the most important axiom to be learned by the student of constitutional and International law. Although all property within the boundaries of a Province belongs to the Province and is possessed by the Provinces, there is nothing in the Act to intimate that the Province owns the land. From the signing of the Peace of Paris, 1763, whereby France ceded the land to the British, Britain owned the land, until

Britain ceded the land to each respective Province in the Statute of Westminster, 1931. Possibly I can explain this by an analogy with which you are familiar. The Gypsies or Romanies have roamed Europe for a thousand years. As a people they do not own property. As a nation they have no sovereign rights. The ownership of land entails responsibility. Responsibility is the basis of all law, whether such law be civil, criminal, corporation, municipal, or International. This is the reason that although the Dominion could and did draft laws, it was only the

BRANTFORD.CA/EARLHAIG

A Canadian Constitution: Part 6 ...continued from page 27 owner (by delegated power to Governor General) that could enact it. The same held good in the province.

The Provincial legislature could draft laws, but it was only the Lieutenant Governor (by delegated power from the governor General) who could enact it. No power has been conferred or granted by the previous owner of the land of Canada to any person to enact laws, pass Orders-in-Council, administer affairs in connection with or to exercise authority over anything in Canada since 1931. They naturally expected the owners to look after their own property. It is admitted that Canada needs a strong central government. The question is-how can this be consummated? It is obvious that the only alternative is an agreement signed by the owners of the land, the Provinces. If the sovereign states of England and Scotland had refused to sign the Treaty of Union January 14th., 1707, there would be

no Great Britain. If it was a good thing for England and Scotland to sign an agreement, or for the United States, Mexico, Australia and South Africa, would it not be wise for Canada to follow their example? Such an agreement, signed by the representatives of the Provinces, should grant to the Central Government all essential services, with the powers of taxation to defray the expenses of such services. At the same time the rights of the Provinces should be safe guarded.

No encroachment should be tolerated which would interfere with the powers and rights reserved by the Provinces. Each government must stay within its own field. Such agreement should be free of ambiguity or any party considerations.

Being fair to all, it will not overlook the rights of any. It is hardly fair for our public men to decry disunity in Canada before the first step towards unity has been taken. Our first step should

be the convening of an Inter-Provincial Conference, where “Article of Confederation” can be discussed.

This need not be a lengthy document. An agreement to grant to a Central Government approximately the same powers as are contained in section 91 of the B. N. A. Act. After signing this agreement, which would constitute a provisional government, measures should be taken for convening a Constitutional Assembly. To create a Constitution, it must be finally ratified by the electorate of the Provinces.

As it will doubtless be conceded that an agreement is indispensable, I am handing you a draft of the “Articles of Confederation” and will predict that the names of the men whose signatures are appended will be reechoed down the Corridors of Time by countless generations yet unborn, as long as the rivers flow and the grasses grow.
