Although recreational cannabis is now legalized with the Canadian Cannabis Act some advocates are questioning the intent of new legislation which may discriminate against young people, underpriviliged people and Indigenous people. There are still serious criminal punishments with cannabis in the new law including expensive fines and jail-time up to 14 years for selling cannabis to minors. The government is expecting legal smokers to order from their online store as brick and mortar locations will not be ready until April. See inside for more info.

Six Nations Cannabis regulations reaches second draft JIM WINDLE
jim@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
SIX NATIONS — The long anticipated draft of Six Nations cannabis regulatory laws has been shared with the community. Under the new plan, a person of Six Nations 21 years and over is permitted to possess cannabis for medical or non-medical reasons. The bylaw and the total amount possessed at any given time does not exceed the amount prescribed by federal law. Anyone under 21, can possess cannabis for medical use only with proof of a prescription. Where to legally smoke or vape will follow the present tobacco smoking laws and be restricted from any public area or school zone. “This law applies to all cannabis related activities on the Six Nations of the Grand River reserve and will remain in effect until the Six Nations Elected Council enacts its own licensing regulatory regime,” reads the new draft — saying it “overrules and
supersedes conflicting federal and provincial laws” surrounding cannabis. The draft says the production, distribution, sale, possession and use of cannabis has a “significant impact on socio-economic development, health, safety and peace, order and good government within the Six Nations of the Grand River” — and says the elected council has an obligation to regulate the industry for the safety required by the Six Nations membership. Questions about whether the acceptance of a valid permit by band members may expunge any current rights for Six Nations people at large, was dealt with in section 8.3 of the proposed law, under Permit Granting. “Only those businesses or individuals holding valid licences from the appropriate provincial or federal authority may apply for a permit under this law; this is for administrative purposes only and does not mean any acceptance of the application of provincial laws on reserve land via Section
88 of the Indian Act or by default.” Proposed growers must prove themselves capable of producing a high standard of plant and declare a list of promises including a water irrigation plan, what, if any, fertilizer being used, which will be considered by Six Nations Environment Department. Growing or distributing marijuana products is prohibited without a valid permit and could cost that person fines and even imprisonment. Section VII, 12.4 addresses driving or operating heavy equipment under the influence of marijuana products and states; “No person is permitted to use, or be under the influence of cannabis when operating a motor vehicle.” That is pretty straight forward. In fact, using cannabis in public could result in a fine of up to $1,000 for a first offence, and $5,000 for subsequent offences. There are distinct parts of the proposed law which deal with issues of dispensary, distribution and growing of cannabis.

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Police Services says it will uphold provincial and federal standards on the territory when recreational weed becomes legalized on October 17. Six Nations Elected Council has been hosting a number of public information and input meetings and creating other tools to inform the people of pending changes and safety surrounding cannabis. The SNPS statement the police are aware of the Six Nations Elected Council’s work to develop a com-
munity bylaw to manage recreational cannabis on the territory. The statement says: “Any cannabis regime, from cultivating to distributing to ultimately selling has to be strictly regulated. While cannabis may be legal as of October 17th, we, as a community, have to remain diligent to the impact this will have on our children, our health and community safety. As the police service we will enforce regulations or laws that allow us to keep our children safe, keep our roadways safe, promote a healthy community and prevent organized crime elements from taking advantage of any inherent right to self government we
exercise in this area.” The police said in the statement they will be enforcing “all Provincial and Federal Regulations pertaining to regulatory, licensing and compliance requirements, until such time that the Six Nations Cannabis Control Law is enacted.” Six Nations Police said, “It is encouraging to see Council taking the time to ensure they get the proposed Cannabis Control Law right. For the community as a whole to enjoy any socio-economic development from this venture the proposed law must be enforceable from the police perspective.”

Court of Appeals rules in favour of hearing constitutional question on indigenous rights NAHNDA GARLOW
nahnda@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO — Six Nations businessman Ken Hill has won his case at the court of appeals to raise a constitutional question defending his indigenous right to have a family law matter dealt with by indigenous traditional practices in favour of being forced through provincial court. The ruling was issued by the province’s highest court Saturday — granting Hill the right to have the constitutional question put back on the table in front of a new justice. The Appeals court also requested that an expert on First Nations issues be assigned to the case. That person has not been appointed yet. Hill applied earlier this year for Justice Sloan, one of the judges at the Kitchener Superior Court, to recuse himself in the case. Hill says in his claim that Sloan did not treat Hill’s case without prejudice. Hill has been fighting the mother of his son in her claim for $85,000 a month in spousal support. Lawyers for Hill say there is evidence that proves the pair were not in a spou-

sal relationship. Hill now pays the child’s mother, Brittany Beaver, $33,000 in child support monthly along with 100% of the child’s school and medical care. Court documents show Hill also provided a million dollar home for Beaver while she is raising their son. She lives in the Waterloo home with her new partner and their child. Lawyers for Beaver told a journalist with the Toronto Sun that Hill is pursuing “an alternate regime that would deny Haudenosaunee women and children access to the protections for the Ontario family justice system.” However Hill says in his claim that he recog-
nizes the authority of the Haudenosaunee traditional governance systems and is seeking to resolve the matter in favour of those traditions — rejecting being forced to subjugate to provincial courts. “This should not be viewed as a win for me but a win for the independence of our territory. I have long advocated for the sovereignty of our territory…” said Hill in a statement to the Two Row Times. “Sovereignty means more than words - it is about us retaining territorial rights without Ontario telling us what to do.” No date has been set for the constitutional question yet but it is expected to be heard in Kitchener at a later date.

Ottawa says recreational cannabis will qualify for tax exemption JIM WINDLE
jim@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — According to the government website on the implementation of legal marijuana for both medical and recreational purposes, it has been announced that on-reserve sales of marijuana to customers with a valid Status Card, will not be taxed. How that will work with non-status sales on reserve may be an issue the same as it is currently with the sale of rez-tobacco products. But at least for now, once recognized legal dispensaries are set up on-reserve the control of its sales will be much easier thing to deal with. That decision has answered fears by some that taxation might be “trojan-horsed” onto reserves with this new legislation. That does not mean however, there will be no tax at all. Federal excise tax of 5% will still apply.
Government controlled pot will average $10 gm, once it becomes legal Wednesday, according to recent media release out of Ottawa. Those mom-and-pop unregistered dispensaries, which have been popping up like weeds everywhere, will be forced to either shut down or become officially licensed and will be required to keep records of their sales. Even though the implementation of the new law was moved from July to October, there are still more questions than answers as the new pot paradigm takes hold. The official word from Ottawa is, “First Nations people with a valid certificate of Indian Status card will be tax exempt when buying marijuana from a business located on reserve land.” Three/quarters of the revenue from the cannabis excise tax will go to provincial governments and the remaining 25 per cent

to the federal government. The federal portion of the excise tax revenue will be capped at $100 million annually, with any federal revenue in excess of that going to the provinces and territories. The marijuana industry is projected to reach $15.2B by 2020, but others believe that estimate is low.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com
Cannabis is legal again EDITORIAL BY JONATHAN GARLOW Canadians are calling it legalization but after reading over the many new laws coming into effect today it appears that Canada is still criminalizing cannabis users by adding dozens of new regulations that may negatively impact lives. For people who regularly smoke and drive it looks like Ontario has taken a cookie cutter approach and revised the alcohol laws by replacing the word alcohol with cannabis – even though alcohol and cannabis are completely different substances with no similarities in effects. Extreme cannabis "impairment" if we can call it that, would either be sleepiness or in some cases, severe anxiety. If anything cannabis users are probably more careful on the roads than anyone and unless they are a new to THC, have posed no serious threat. If anyone has any doubts, the statistics from Colorado where weed is legal show no increase in car accidents, or crime. Despite those facts, regular cannabis users can expect to someday be pulled over by OPP and asked to take a saliva test, even though THC can remain in your system for as long as thirty days. Did you know that cannabis has been legal by Canadian law since 2001 for medical users? The Human rights code protects users with disabilities who use medical cannabis. Ontario Human Rights says that medical cannabis users should be able to smoke or ingest cannabis products at work as long as
the user can function safely and do their jobs properly. How will officers, employers and neighbours be able to differentiate between the recreational users and the medical ones? Long-time Canadian pot advocate Kyle "Dabfarm" Morrison has been quoted saying "all use is therapeutic use," defying the definitions of recreational and medical user. It will probably be a few years before the negative stigma and stereotypes that follow cannabis finally die down. Some Six Nations residents have had luke-warm feelings about the so-called legalization. One commenter on Facebook suggested that the focus should be on policing other drugs. "Who cares about weed, people are dying from percocets and oxy's everyday and it seems like no one cares," she said in a thread about weed legalization on Six Nations. After attending a SNEC presentation by the community team, I think they are mistaken about the origins of cannabis. Although some strains did in fact originate from Asia, there are several landrace strains from the Americas such as Acapulco Gold and Columbian Gold that have been cultivated here for thousands of years. I think the real question is: Did our ancestors have access to these seeds? Did our ancestors have ancient cannabis? This weeks centrespread poster if for all of those who have been locked up for years because of a plant that is now "legal".
Opinion: Conservative media framing public opinion in constitutional case By Nahnda Garlow Lawyers for the woman seeking millions in support from Grand River Enterprises co-owner Ken Hill have been working overtime — linking arms with conservative media friends to frame her case and bring it into the court of public opinion. Beavers lawyer Joanna Radbord told Sam Pazzano of the Toronto Sun that Hill is trying to create an “alternate regime that would deny Haudenosaunee women and children access to the protections of the Ontario family justice system.” Not only is this narrative false — but it is also racist. They claim Hill is merely using his indigenous ancestry to skirt paying child support. This is not factual. Hill pays $33,000 a month plus all of his son’s medical expenses and tuition for private school. Hill’s lawyers also clarified that he is not seeking to have any Ontario law declared invalid. His lawyer told the courts Hill is insisting it is his individual indigenous right “to be governed by the adjudicative processes, protocols and laws of the Haudenosaunee and the people of the Six Nations. “ It is racist for Beaver’s lawyers to assume that Haudenosaunee women and children would not be protected by a Haudenosaunee justice system or traditional practices of dispute resolution. In fact, not only does Six Nations have a historical system of dealing with family issues — but we also have a modern one of our own de-sign. This year Six Nations launched its’ own designated child wel-fare agency. We have capable legal analysts, lawyers, social workers and an entire justice department that could rightly assist these two people from Six Nations resolve this issue. Not to mention the
expertise of traditional knowledge keepers who could bring in historical understanding of how these matters would be settled via clan families. These are systems that Six Nations has fought to uphold and establish in order to create the infrastructure to resolve internal issues - especially issues facing families - that are trauma informed, hold indigenous knowledge and empower our people to stand on our own excellence instead of bowing to the auspices of our oppressors. Hill is rejecting being forced into the Ontario court system. Meanwhile his son’s mother, Brittany Beaver, is rejecting the Haudenosaunee system in order to win her case. Lawyers for Beaver sought to crush Hill’s constitutional question, calling the insistence of relying on our own ways a “nuisance or an abuse of the court process.” Together, Beaver and her lawyers unilaterally decided that the issue should only be resolved using Ontario’s standards. Is this in the best interest of the child? Beaver and her team have also mounted a public attack against Hill’s character and the application of indigenous rights through the media. This is a means to an end. She wants to win this case — and dictate the narrative about his fight against the system. On her personal Facebook page on Beaver wrote about the case saying Hill was a “billionaire” fighting for his “aboriginal son to have less child support than a Canadian child” and that it was a “misuse of aboriginal culture and nothing less than dishonourable.” Hill co-founded the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation which provides access for extracurricular activities, sports,
Volume 6, Issue 10
medical supports and education to indigenous youth across all of Canada — showing Hill is more of a philanthropist than a greedy culture abuser. Toronto Sun also reported Hill is on a mission to “refashion his claims to a constitutional right not to pay child support again.” They went on to call Hill the “co-founder of the immensely successful Grand River Enterprises (GRE) — the world’s largest privately owned Indigenous corporation” and framed Beaver as merely “a single mom and college student.” While in fact it may be true that Beaver is a college student she is not a single mom. According to court documents she is currently living in the million dollar home Hill paid for with her current partner and the child they share. In child support payments, Beaver is financially provided with an amount that is well above the average college student’s normal monthly income. The Toronto Sun and her lawyers attempts to frame Beaver’s situation as a college student who was taken advantage of by a greedy indigenous businessman with “tax free income” is disgusting. It is nothing less than racism. And what makes it worse is that it is pitting two indigenous people against one another in the court of public opinion. Two people who share a child. Is it in the best interests of the child to have his future determined only by the province of Ontario and Beaver’s preferred system? It is shameful that when a successful indigenous man refuses to become subject to a foreign court he is framed by conservative media as a cheap Indian making dangerous moves for all the other people in the village.

TWO ROW TIMES
Has hate been released across Canada or has the veneer of Canadian politeness revealed the true feeling of most Canadians towards the indigenous? Where is the root of Indigenous hate? Settlers came to this land. They were part of the larger English nation seeking relief from royal circles and landowner rights for the gentry. South of Canada, the settlers completely broke from their oppressor country origins – forging a “new nation” where all men would be equal. Unknown to settlers, the actual inhabitants of North America were free, equal and democratic societies. When the British nation settled the colony called Canada, the UK governance system continued – a parliament with a House of Commons. In the United States, a break from European masters necessitated a new governance system, which they took from the Iroquois confederacy. This information is necessary in today’s Canadian education system. It brings attention to Indigenous contributions that have influenced current systems.
Further to this, in Canada, it was only through ally ship with the eastern Indians that British forces were able to overcome both the French and American forces to “colonize” Canada. If this is not taught to the average Canadian, they are free to absorb new information. Settler frontiersman who came to Canada wrote journals from their perspective. The journals were filled with historical white male distorted thinking. An encampment where native women worked diligently was seen as a master - servant relationship. In reality, Indian women owned the homes, the household and their primary focus was to educate children and facilitate the overall harmony of the camp. The idea that Indian women had equal roles to Indian men did not compute to the colonists. It was European thinking that regarded women as servants, property or chattel of men. This thinking was brought to North America. Similarly, the idea that the Indians did nothing but kill each other was another necessary stereotype. This stereotype allowed for the killing and genocidal warfare directed against the first peoples. If the Indian could not be
eradicated, then it was best that fear of Indians was instilled. Does this still exist? Did everyone witness the all white jury run from the courtroom in the Gerald Stanley trial in fear of Indian retaliation when the verdict was read? The original nations established the Great Law of Peace. If the Indians did nothing but war and advance for land or territory, then there would have only be one tribe here when the settlers arrived. All the Indians would have been Mi’kmaq or Iroquois or Sioux. The original people were not like European “Christian” empires. They did not kill off and then oppress their neighbours. There were many nations thriving and living throughout this island so living peacefully with other nations was possible, at least in North America. This information is still important because it is 2018 and stereotypes from the 1600’s are still entrenched in Canada. Here, the Federal government works with the judiciary and the administrative arm to perpetuate stereotypes while stirring the pot of Indigenous discontent. Non-Indigenous were told settlement of the plains could not happen without a “clearing of the
plains”, therefore herding the indigenous to reserves and killing off their food sources was in “everyone’s” best interests. How is this different today for the arguments made in favour of pipelines? Aren’t the Indians once again holding back “everybody’s best interests? Once the Indigenous were herded to reserves, the problem remained, how to kill off the Indians without making it appear to be outright killing. The solution was to take the children away rendering the lives of the Indigenous parents purposeless. This would hopefully cause depression and lead to suicide, death or addictions. Unfortunately the architects who legislated taking the children away did not anticipate that intergenerational trauma and ongoing addictions and post-traumatic stress issues would result. This is where we are today. In addition to historical traumas that continue to harm indigenous people, federal programs build in new traumas. Every mainstream news media reports on the high number of Indians in jail, their shortened life spans, restricted access to drinking water, housing shortages or unhealthy living conditions, under-
funding in education and racist funding formulas for on and off reserve kids in child welfare. The indigenous can’t “get over it”, when they are “still in it”. Complicit federal programs, impending legislation and court decisions all play into the ongoing efforts to kill or displace the indigenous. The recent gutting of Indian and Northern Affairs (INAC) has broken good faith and the inherent or treaty obligations of the Crown. By splitting into land and programs, INAC is applying Whitethink. INAC and settler society might see land as money or as a commodity, but the original people see the land as a responsibility and the programs that flow from the sharing of this land are directly related. Legislation in the form of a “new rights recognition framework” seeks to “provide certainty” for the Indigenous under the bounty of Great White Father Trudeau. The most recent court decision from the Supreme Court of Canada has asserted parliamentary supremacy has greater power than the original people’s prior relationship to the land. Each of these arms of mainstream society continue the historical settler work of “clearing
the plains”. Redefining the relationship between the Indigenous and mainstream is still clearing the plains. Whether the Federal government is proposing a split in the Indian Affairs department, adopting ten principles or proposing new framework legislation, they are still enforcing clearing the plains strategies. The Canadian public has been misled to believe that the federal government has the “Indians’ under control. They routinely put out statements alluding to the importance of Indigenous engagement while surreptitiously writing legislation, policy or court decisions to take from the most marginalized people in this land. Mainstream media follows suit, casting blame on the necessity of Indigenous voice inclusion in Canadian society. Forgotten are the words of the first settlers, the plan to live peaceably, sharing the land and bounty of this land; “I did not make this deal” is the rallying cry. There is a disconnect about having the benefits that come with living in this country and the thievery or sharp dealings that lead to the Indigenous being targeted in their own land. Racism is the basis for Canada’s existence.

At long last, Murray Porter’s new album STAND UP! will be released on iTunes later this week. The Mohawk pianist explained that the album has been four years in the making and the purpose behind it has been in the making for even longer. “The reason why I called this album STAND UP! Is because it’s time to stand up,” said Porter. “Stand up for the water, stand up for the people and stand up for each other.” With a mix of culture, history, humour and soul, Porter has been known to bring forth issues affecting indigenous people and presenting them through music. With this album, he incorporated song styles from blues, rock and country, and the album holds
purpose that he worked to ensure each piece captured. “I like to write songs that mean something, I don’t want to just throw something out there that doesn’t have heart and soul and meaning. So the whole album, each and every song has meaning to me,” he said. “Buffy Sainte-Marie does it and she’s a hero of mine, I’m doing it and there are others doing it too. But I just want to help our people go for-ward. All of the issues that affect us are things I write about.” Some of his work has touched on treaty rights, political presence, protest and the work in this album is no different. He spoke on the differences between himself and other artists and noted that fame and fortune aren’t at the forefront of his intent as a musician. “I don’t need a limo and I don’t need a Cadillac, I just
want to be able to maintain and live in a comfortable way, but also bring the message across to our people and the rest of Canada that here we are, we’re not going anywhere.” Through focusing on purposeful music, for this album Porter also collabo-rated with several writers including Elaine Bomberry; who contributed a meaningful poem that will be presented in the album through one of the songs that will be released soon. As a self-taught, singer, songwriter and piano player, who's spent the last 30 years playing the blues throughout the world, Porter has been compared to the likes of Joe Cocker, Elton John and Delbert McClinton. Following a long list of accomplishments and awards, his work has proven to be worth a listen time and again.

Gathering at Nathan Phillips Square finalizes CHEZNEY MARTIN

TORONTO — The Indian Residential School Survivors (IRSS) Legacy Celebration which was the first of its kind finalized last Thursday after three days of celebrating indigenous legacies of resiliency and healing. Placed outside of Toronto City Hall, the gathering honoured residential school survivors and their families, and offered educational programming for visitors. "We are pleased and proud to be able to host and help produce this important event at Nathan Phillips Square," said the Mayor of Toronto. "It is essential that reconciliation moves from discussion into action and this celebration provides a forum for that evolution to occur." The event began with a sunrise ceremony before a grand entry around the square. While using more than 20 painted teepees anointed around the square

to house educational programming and drop-in workshops throughout the day, visiting Torontonians and all others were able to be exposed to a variety of topics surrounding indigenous resiliency and vitality. The event was also considered to be incredibly timely. "This gathering is significant as it is scheduled around the new lunar moon cycle, which
represents a positive energy force in addition to our harvest cycle, a time to acknowledge and give thanks for all that we are provided and a part of," said Andrea Chrisjohn, Board Designate (ohkwali clan, On^yota’a:ka), Toronto Council Fire Native Cultural Centre. "And, to celebrate the resiliency, change and growth of our people." Produced by the Toronto Council Fire Native Cultural Centre in collaboration with the City of Toronto, this free gathering featured indigenous songs, stories, language, food, performances, installations and demonstrations for all ages. The event also included the unveiling of a model of the commemorative sculpture to be placed at the heart of the square, which was created in commemoration and in repose to the truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action 82, which called for monuments within each capital city to honour all of those impacted by residential schools.

Doctor apologizes for calling cannabis “gateway drug” TORONTO — The president of the Ontario Medical Association is taking back her comments that recreational cannabis is a ``gateway drug'' to harder substances. Dr. Nadia Alam says she ``misspoke'' during an interview on CBC Radio earlier this week, in which she also said recreational cannabis can cause anxiety and
withdrawal symptoms for people who be-come addicted. ``It can lead to the use of other, more serious drugs like crack cocaine,'' Alam said in the interview. Several members of the medical community spoke out against her statements, and on Saturday Alam wrote on Twitter that she apol-ogizes
for her comments. ``I apologize. I misspoke. Recreational cannabis is NOT a gateway drug. I thank my colleagues for correcting me,'' Alam tweeted. She also wrote that while recreational cannabis can still cause anxiety and lead to addiction, she doesn't think it will lead people to use harder substances.

BRANTFORD — Hamilton Health Sciences’ McMaster Children’s Hospital (MCH) and the Lansdowne Children’s Centre (LCC) in Brantford have partnered to bring health care closer to home for children with complex medical needs and their families. The McMaster Children with Medical Complexity Clinic at Lansdown Children’s Centre officially launched this week with a celebratory event for patients, families, and staff. “This is a big milestone for us,” says Rita-Marie Hadley, executive director of LCC. “This collaboration is going to make such a difference for families in our area.” Lisa Webster, director of pediatrics at MCH agrees. “We’re so proud to be able to support our patients closer to home.” For many of these families, something as simple as taking a bus ride can be a daunting and exhausting task.

plex Care Clinic at MCH provides and coordinates care for children who have many health needs, including some who depend on technology to support their breathing. In many cases, these families come from outside Hamilton to access the clinic at MCH on a regular basis. The intent of this new clinic is to improve accessibility and bring care closer to home for families in the Brant region. “This new clinic will ease the burden of travel for families,” says Dr. Benjamin Klein, medical director at LCC. “The clinic
will also allow us to improve collaboration with providers from McMaster Children’s Hospital, since we will be working together directly. We’re building care around the families we serve.” It’s led by Anna Polanski, a nurse practitioner from MCH, and Dr. Daisy Liu a pediatrician from LCC, and supported by allied health professionals including physiotherapists and dietitians. The collaboration will create a more seamless experience for families. “Coordinating all the services a child with a
disability needs poses a tremendous challenge for parents and those who support them,” Dr. Klein says. “This partnership is strengthening the collaboration and communication between our two organizations and parents, which makes for better care.” Donna Nagy knows all too well the challenges of caring for a child with complex medical needs. Her granddaughter, Teleah turns three in December and has spent about half of her life so far in the hospital. She has been traveling from Brantford to Hamilton for care frequently, and is relieved to have this new clinic so close to home. “It’s saving time, it’s saving money, and it’s saving Teleah the anxiety she gets when we have to make a long trip to the hospital,” Donna says. Anna, looks forward to better supporting families like Teleah’s through this new integration. “I hope that we as a team can help provide continuity of care between the hospital and community setting,” she says.

Paul Bernardo, whose very name became synonymous with sadistic sexual perversion, is expected to plead for release on Wednesday by arguing he has done what he could to improve himself during his 25 years in prison, mostly in solitary confinement. Designated a dangerous offender, Bernardo, 54, became eligible for parole in February but has so far not been allowed beyond the confines of his maximum security prison in eastern Ontario. Bernardo's parole hearing at the Bath Institution is expected to attract numerous observers, most of whom will have to watch via a videolink. The hearing also comes almost two weeks after the prosecution withdrew a weapon-possession charge against him related to the discovery of a screw
attached to a ballpoint pen handle in his cell. Defence lawyer Fergus (Chip) O'Connor did not respond Tuesday to a request to discuss his client's bid for freedom. However, at the aborted weapon trial this month, he outlined the pitch Bernardo was expected to make to the National Parole Board panel. ``He's as horrified as you and I are at what he did,'' O'Connor said. ``I expect that he will take full responsibility, express remorse, and he appears to be sincere in that.'' While isolation has limited available programming, Bernardo has made a ``determined effort not to make up for what he's done _ for that can never be done _ but to improve himself'' and has been of good behaviour in ``very hard conditions'' of confinement, O'Connor said. Bernardo's crimes over several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, some of which he videotaped, sparked
widespread terror and revulsion. Among them, Bernardo and his then-wife Karla Homolka kidnapped, tortured and killed Leslie Mahaffy, 14, of Burlington, Ont., in June 1991 at their home in Port Dalhousie, Ont., before dismembering her body, encasing her remains in cement and dumping them in a nearby lake. Dubbed the ``Scarborough rapist,'' Bernardo also tortured and killed Kristen French, 15, of St. Catharines, Ont., in April 1992 after keeping her captive for three days. Bernardo was ultimately convicted in 1995 of the first-degree murders of the two teens and numerous sexual assaults. He was given life without parole eligibility until he had served 25 years since his arrest in early 1993. Tim Danson, long-time lawyer for the girls' families, would not discuss Bernardo's parole bid. ``For a variety of very sensitive reasons, neither CONTINUED ON PAGE 25

Skoden Banksy: Part One
Exclusive excerpts from the mysterious artist who "illegally" painted a section under the Newport Bridge CHEZNEY MARTIN
chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
After a mysterious artist painted a “Skoden” mural under the Newport Bridge just outside of Brantford, question came up as to who the artist was. On Wednesday, October 3, an email was sent to the Two Row Times with excerpts from a reflective journal written by the “Skoden Banksy” after their arrest for painting the mural. The reflective journal was described as a step included in the pre-charge program the artist was obligated to complete and the Two Row Times has allowed the artist to remain anonymous. Enjoy: 1. Describe the events leading up to the offence, and then describe the offence itself. I was driving down Newport road when I discovered our old school Hip-Hop graffiti wall on the Newport bridge had been tagged over with senseless scribbles and profanities. Over the past decade this wall had the words “Hip-Hop” painted on it, with imagery of the Hip-Hop elements, as well as our Haudenosaunee flag. Furthermore, the graffiti group “Alapinta”, who painted the astounding murals found in Brantford and Six Nations, tagged their name on the top of this wall and also contributed the purple mask found on the bottom right corner. I have been told that this is a representation of a traditional medicine mask used in Chilean culture for protection. This wall has been used as the backdrop for many music videos and documentaries recorded by my friends who are also Haundeosaunee Hip-Hop connoisseurs. I pulled over to investigate further and noticed someone painted a red “Canadian” maple leaf over our Haudenosaunee confederacy flag. As

a Haudenosaunee woman who inhales and exhales Hip-Hop and oxygen, I could not stand to allow such a mockery of my culture(s) be displayed any further on what is traditionally, and still to this day, considered Haudenosaunee territory. This act of bravery and creativity I committed, may be considered an offence in this program, however I consider it a moral obligation; one which has been applauded and well received by my community: Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. I just so happened to have purple, white and blue spray cans with me at the time, as they were left overs from a mural we had painted in another native territory for a community jam we hosted. Immediately, I fixed the Haundeosaunee flag. In doing so, I realized the entire wall needed to be re-done, so I took it upon myself to do that. I also noticed there was a great deal of trash all along the roadways so I took it upon myself to gather up the trash and bring it to the dumpster. Each day I visited this wall, I began by retrieving 1-3 bags of garbage then I would begin my paint session. There was also a very large fish carcass on the ground right beside the wall and it
almost seemed like this fish was strategically placed as a deterrent. On this hot and beautiful, sunny afternoon, after clearing the garbage and animal carcasses, (and cleaning my hands of course), I busted out my spray cans and hip-hop beats to begin the SKODEN piece, above the waves and flag I had already painted the day before. On this particular afternoon, I had not a care with regards to who was watching and spent a solid 3 hours creating the outlines and filling in the letters. This is my first official graffiti piece so I wanted to spend extra time investing in the art of it and getting it right. I had gotten as far as “SKODE” when OPP creeped up on me. I had all my cans laid out, my speaker set up and my laptop on the hood of my car, which was a direct indicator to police that I was not even trying to hide anything. The reason for this is because at the time, and as of to date, I do not believe I had committed a crime or offence of any kind. As far as I’m concerned if anyone is offended by someone doing art, real art, and they are not offended by the trash and dead animals littering our planet as a result of a consumerist/trash society,
well, they are in fact part of the problem, to which I say: be offended. I pray whichever Permit Patty called the cops on me gets the counselling and hugs they clearly need. Anyways, OPP initially pulled the whole “you’re breaking the law therefore you have no rights,” bit and put handcuffs on me before I talked some sense into them while sitting in the back of the police cruiser. I noted that this is Haundeosaunee Territory therefore they had no right to even practice their bureaucratic tactics on me in this location. They disagreed and said this is now Brantford jurisdiction, but our treaties [and the Haldimand Proclamation] would determine that is a lie (see Reference A). Yet, I am also fully aware that police over-exuding their power is common practice in this colonial realm, therefore I did my best to demonstrate cooperation and moral stamina. They did recognize the difference between the art I was creating and trashy spray can scribbles, and even stated that what I was doing looked far better then what was there before. They also noted that the world has become a dump and it is very disappointing. I was happy to see we could find SOME common ground to work with. They made
me enrol in this program, let me keep my paint and notified me that during these hours it’s typically “Brantford people” who are driving by and they are a lot less likely to appreciate my art than the Six Nations people who are typically on these roads in the evening time. So naturally, I couldn’t leave the piece unfinished. I went back twice that day to work on it and several times over the next week. In doing so, I made sure to watch my back and keep my painting sessions short, to leave enough time for heat to die down in the event the cops would get called, yet again, by another permit patty. 2. Name the people you know about the incident. Describe how each of them reacted. I was the only one who painted, there was the dead fish, the dead bird, the OPP and a mix of onlookers from either Brantford or Six Nations. There was a few Brantford people who got offended honking their horns and waving their hands, and a bunch of Six Nations people who put thumbs up out their windows or stopped by to say things like “Good Job” and “Respect”. Two Row Times published a picture of the wall on the front cover of their weekly newspaper and wrote a few articles about it. Countless Six Nations community members stopped by to take selfies with the wall and I’ve seen many people posting positive comments regarding the piece. Six Nations Marketplace created a SKODEN selfie contest on social media and gave out a $50 gift certificate for the selfie that got the most likes. My reaction was obviously positive. I’m assuming the dead fish was happy to have waves painted above its head, giving it a slight vibe that its back home, or in the least was happy to be returned to the grass rather than baking
on the hot pavement. Same with the bird. As for OPP, I truly believe they were, underneath all their programming, happy to see someone committing a crime that is beneficial for community rather than the typical destructive crimes they have to witness on a daily basis. Oh, and the cherry on top was an elderly white man who stopped by on my final day of painting in an attempt to save me from my own painting. He drove slowly giving me the side eye and came out waving his finger saying “I hope you’re not ruining that beautiful work of art.” I assured him I was not there to ruin it, but to add to it. I was writing the words “Protect the Sacred” on top. He had many questions and I took the time to inform him on the symbology of the piece. Notably, the common question non-natives ask is, “what does SKODEN mean?” I told him it means “let’s go then”, followed by a giggle and he defended, “well I don’t know your language!” LOL. Skoden is not a traditional native word, but rather a slang term only natives know, and it is entertaining for us all. I informed him further that the waves represent the River and I am writing “Protect the Sacred” because this is what I want us to collectively do: Protect the Sacred. Water is Sacred. Our Rivers are Sacred. Our Fish are Sacred. Our Birds are Sacred. Our traditional ways are sacred. Hip-Hop, in its truest form, is Sacred. It is time we all rise to protect what is Sacred so that our children can blossom into their fullest potential, or in the least, be given a chance to LIVE. Then he asked, “what is the WuTang symbol there for?” To which I replied, “Wu-Tang is for the children.” As space is limited, more excerpts will be released next week.

Darlene Naponse’s Falls Around Her, Sgaawaay K’uuna (Edge of the Knife)
— directed by Gwaai Edenshaw and Helen HaigBrown and so many more.
As ImagineNATIVE is the world's largest presenter of Indigenous screen content, the organization has made the festival as bright and loud as possible each year to celebrate the artists that bring forth topics and address issues through stories and mediums that only film and other media can present. “ImagineNATIVE presents the world’s largest Indigenous film festival, a national Tour focused on reconciliation, and numerous other activities throughout the year. imagineNATIVE is one of the leading arts organisa-tions in Canada that was twice nominated for the highly competitive and prestigious Premier’s
Award for Excellence in the Arts (Ontario),” writes the ImagineNATIVE site. “ImagineNATIVE is committed to public education and strives towards dispelling stereotypical notions of Indigenous peoples through diverse media presentations from within our communities. To this end we con-duct professional development workshops and panels, public education initiatives, research projects, and curriculum/educators’ packages for secondary schools created from Indigenous pedagogies.” For more info or screening tickets check out http://www.imaginenative.org/in19-festival-announcement-2018 online.
Bringing stone to life, with Solomon King
An interview with the artist who sculpted a giant turtle for the IRSS legacy project CHEZNEY MARTIN
chezney@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO – Sculptor, Mason and Stone Artisan Solomon King was commissioned to create the turtle sculpture that will be placed at the centre of the indigenous healing garden outside of Toronto City Hall. The turtle represents the land and clans of many bloodlines of indigenous people. Used for the basis of the sculpture, the depicted turtle climbing over a boulder represents the struggles experienced by residential school survivors and their continued resilience. While the tiles on the back of the turtle will represent the different nations and clans within the province. King, an Anishinaabe artist from the Neyaashiinigmiing unceded territory alongside the Bruce Peninsula, will be finalizing the permanent sculpture in the near future from his studio. Titled “Restoring our Identity,” the sculpture was planned to be full of symbolism, which King hopes will incite viewers of the work to ask questions. “We wanted to incorporate certain things into

this sculpture like the Seven Grandfather Teachings,” said King. “So as you walk up the ramp we have seven footprints of the turtle which represents those seven teachings. That’s just one way I incorporated the teachings.” “As an artist what I had to do was take the [committee’s] ideas and figure out what I can bring into this sculpture and leave out, because you don’t want to carve something literal, you want to leave
questions for the viewer. So when somebody comes up to a sculpture they don’t want to read about what it’s about, they want to ask questions. ‘Like why are there seven footprints leading up to the turtle? Allow them to take some initiative and learn.” King explained that learning and educating was also a part of the sculptures purpose. He came into being commissioned to carve after a previous work of his,
which was a relief stone sculpture in the shape of an eagle, allowed the organizers of the IRSS Celebration to see his handiwork and select him. For the project, King noted 25 tonnes of Indiana grey limestone was ordered and ten pieces sit in his studio currently with the final sculpture planned to be 10 tonnes by itself. “It’s going to be chisel finished, so I’m going to put air chisels onto it and then hand chisels and
those will help finish it. So the finished sculpture will have a chisel-patina finish,” he explained. “What happens when you run a chisel over an open stone like that is it actually closes the pores and it creates a smooth patina layer on the outside. That’s why you can get really sharp points and get details with it.” King took into consideration the fact that the piece will be outside and took steps to ensure that
the body of the piece will be durable and allow for water run-off during rain. But seeing the sculpture in person is what does the shadows and highlights of the pale stone justice, as King explained that he carves using depth and shadow, not just shape and profile. “I’ve developed my own style over the years and what I’ve been doing is stylizing my sculptures to really convey what I like to work with, so light and shadow and the sun and the natural environment,” he said. “It’s like a 3D painting.” The sculpture itself was commissioned in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action 82, which called upon provincial and territorial governments to commission residential school monuments within each capital city to honour survivors and children who were lost to their families and communities. This makes the sculpture a part of a country-wide effort.

Six Nations Bantam Reps trim Twin Centre Stars 4-1 JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — The Six Nations Bantam Reps earned a well played win over the visiting Twin Centre Stars at the Gaylord Powless Arena, Sunday afternoon. It started when Devan Lickers one-timed a pass out from behind the net from Mitch Vanevery to give Six Nations a 1-0 lead, which held through to the first intermission. He almost got his second of the game when he beat the Stars goalie in tight but at a bad angle and the puck wizzed by the far post through the crease and safely into the corner. Checking was close and no one had the puck long before being checked to make the flow of the period fast. Owen Vanloon had a great chance early in the second period but was
stopped by Roger Grubb in the Stars goal. But then Decland Martin set up Zack Johnson from behind the net who made it 2-0 in a carbon copy play from the first goal. If two is good, three is better. Once again Grubb was burned with a quick pass out from behind the red goal line by to a waiting Mark General who made it 3-0 for Six Nations. With 2:15 left in the second period, Vanevery and Kanner Sowden set up Owen Hill who muscled in on the right wing, bouncing through the Twin Centres’ defence and put in a high writer for the 4-0, Six Nations lead at the end of the second period. Stars’ Brody Labold accounted for the Twin Centers’ only goal of the game scored with 55 seconds left in the period. There was no scoring in the third as Six Nations held on to the 4-1 lead to the final buzzer.

Hawks catch up to Sailors
Six Nations Atom Reps struggle
By Jim Windle HAGERSVILLE — The Hagersville Hawks have clawed the way into a tie for fourth place with the Port Dover Sailors in Jr. C hockey action. After 11 games each the Hawks and the Sailors have 10 points each after the Hawks brought down the Niagara Riverhawks 2-0 Saturday night in Hagersville. Despite out shooting the Riverhawks 14-9 in the first period the score remained 0-0 after the first 20 minutes. Ralph Taggart connected from Tycie Cowan and Patrick Sanelli at 2:05 of the second period as Hagers-
ville held the momentum. Matt Weston entered the second Hagersville goal at 7:58 of the third period with Harrison Larochelle and Nick Visser assisting. The Hagersville penalty killers were perfect in turning away six odd-man advantages.
This week they will try and keep the positive attitude that has brought them back so far from a bad start to the season with games this Saturday, Oct 20th, against the 2-8-0 Hespeler Shamrocks at the Hagersville Arena beginning at 7:30.

Williams works overtime to take Gold at Silver Gloves

TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO — Six Nations amateur welter-weight Skyler Williams continues his upward trajectory after winning the Gold Medal at the Silver Gloves held in Toronto last weekend. As an amateur, Williams says he must hold a day job to put food on the table. He is a high rigger ironworker by trade. Williams opened the tournament with a TKO win on Friday night and then — went to work. Saturday he came back with a unanimous decision in his second fight and followed that win up with working another consecutive night shift. Williams returned to the ring on Sunday to win the Gold after his opponent
dropped out. Brantford’s Bell City Boxing fighter Austin Bayani fought and won Friday evening, winning a unanimous decision over Brandon Toro from Bramalea. Saturday night Austin defeated Datpaul Singh from Burlington. Austin hurt his hand in the second round in the Saturday contest and said he was in too much pain to continue in the final. On the advice of his coach he had to settle for silver.
Nikita the 'Sniper' Abbott won the draw out of three to get to the Sunday final where she fought a brilliant fight putting it all together, says her coach, to win Gold vs TNT provincial champion Caroline Redmond. Austine Bayani will be competing Saturday at the stockyards in Toronto. Nikita will be competing in Niagara on November 3 and looking at Edmonton for November 17.
that had influenced and infiltrated the board, and we were reacting daily to one crisis after another rather than running the OHA,” said the memo. “It was a huge decision for us to resign and one that was emotional and difficult. But this move is to save the institution. We had to put ourselves and the current board aside to do that. This couldn’t be about us as directors. This had to be about what was best for the OHA and junior hockey in Ontario.” But OHA director Arnie Lawlor wrote in an email dated Oct. 12 that he voted against the association’s special meeting resolutions, saying the governance committee established in the spring should have had a chance to finish its job. Tom Strauch, who resigned as OHA chair last month to side with a group of “concerned members” will make that group’s recommendations at a specially convened meeting Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. The Six Nations’ owned Caledonia Jr. B Corvairs opted to sit out the 2019 GOJHL season and wait to see how the whole thing shakes out before returning to whatever the league looks like at that time.
Twenty-five teams from all three junior leagues have demanded that Strauch be returned as chair of a newly chosen board while the other four current directors would be fired. Stauch says, “The OHA has long been run by a very small group of individuals with little or no regard for the membership but only the quest for power over the organization. There are certain people in this group that have no problem voicing their contempt and absolute hatred of some of your membership and it is abundantly clear that they will never support any initiative brought forward by these members whether it is good for the OHA or not.” At the same time, the Ontario Junior Hockey League distributed its own email package accusing the current leadership structure as “a dictatorship, governance by fear and fiction.” Parliamentarian George Meek will oversee the vote. Each team and OHA director has one vote, which will be by secret ballot. The results will be scrutinized and audited independently by OHF legal and accounting staff.
OHA Powerplay could fix or destroy Jr. hockey By Jim Windle
KITCHENER — There was a showdown this past weekend between two bodies seeking control over the Ontario Hockey Association. Sunday morning at 10 am, 15 resolutions which were presented earlier to the teams for consideration, will be voted upon and could re-invent the entire operation of Jr. hockey in Ontario. One of the proposals that was discussed at length offered to dissolve the current board of directors and pass the power to three trustees, totally unaffiliated with the OHA in any fashion. It was proposed as a stop gap to ease tensions among team owners until the 2019 annual general meeting. The trustees would be chosen by the Ontario Hockey Federation, and Hockey Canada. The OHA stated in a memo sent to all team member owners last week explaining that they feared “long term disaster” if the problem is not rectified immediately. “As everyone knows by now the OHA is polarized with what amounts to warring factions on both sides of several issues
ANAHEIM NY — Brandon Montour had a childhood wish fulfilled last week. He always wanted to wear the big duck-bill mask of the Anaheim “Mighty” Ducks. The Ducks recently played a game wearing the throwback jersey of the original
Anaheim Mighty Ducks. “Always a childhood dream to wear this jersey. Even better to wear it at home!,” he posted on his twitter page. The Ducks won 3-2 Tuesday night over the St. Louis Blues. The Ducks are first
place in the Pacific Division with a 4-1-1 early season. Don’t tell anyone, but the Toronto Maple Leafs are in first place in the Atlantic division with six wins and one loss. The Ducks will take on the New York Islanders Wednesday.

Killer rapist Bernado seeking parole CONTINUED FROM PAGE 20
I nor the families will be making any public comments until after the hearing,'' Danson said on Tuesday. O'Connor conceded his client was reviled for his ``horrific crimes.'' Still, he has ``loving parents'' who visit him regularly, and the parole board will take into consideration his behaviour in prison and whether he still poses a
danger to the community, the lawyer said. ``Their decision will be not how much he should suffer, but does he present a risk,'' O'Connor said. ``The issue is not just desserts; the issue is risk.'' Bernardo's parole bid comes against a backdrop of controversy over the unrelated prison transfer of another convicted child killer, Terri-Lynne McClintic.
Recent word that McClintic, who helped her boyfriend Michael Rafferty kidnap, rape, and kill eight-year-old Victoria (Tori) Stafford in Woodstock, Ont., in 2008., had been moved to an Indigenous-centric prison in Saskatchewan known as a healing lodge sparked an uproar that reached the House of Commons.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you do not need an engraved invitation to attend an event that could put you in a position of power and influence. Walk into the party with flair and confidence. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 When someone seeks your advice you are always willing to give it, Libra. Just do not freely offer unsolicited advice all the time or friends could view it as lecturing. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Disagreements can cause emotions to run hot, Scorpio. It is best if you find a cool-down measure so that problems do not escalate — especially this week.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Take a break this week and reconnect with some of the fun activities that you used to do to amuse yourself, Sagittarius. Think like a kid and go to a zoo, aquarium or park. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you’re on the cusp of mastering a skill you have been honing for awhile. Use an opportunity this week to celebrate your hardearned success.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Utilize all of the special skills you have at your disposal, Aquarius. You just may need every tool in your arsenal to get through an upcoming project. This work keeps you busy.
