OHSWEKEN — A new culture room has been created at J.C. Hill Elementary School in Ohsweken, where students can gather and share. Principal Deneen Montour said the new space, which was formerly home to the Design & Technology classroom, was
converted to be a more relaxed environment. “In the culture room it is a very homey space. We’ve created a number of different spaces for students. We have couches and tables. A large conference table if we were going to bring students and parents together,” said Montour. “Our language teachers will use the room to bring in knowledge keepers,” said Montour. “We’ve had
a number of speakers that have taught about the culture and they have brought the students down into a more comfortable environment.” Montour said a former student, Thomas Anderson, designed and created a mural depicting the Haudenosaunee Creation Story. “It’s very well done. We also have cases on the wall with a number of different wampum belts. Those are
used for teachings when traditional knowledge keepers come into the classroom.” Another smaller room features a mural depicting Haudenosaunee families designed by four Grade 8 students Four students in grade 8 painted Haudenosaunee family and extended family on back wall. Montour says the space will be open for community use as well.
SIX NATIONS — A fifth individual has been charged in connection to an ongoing triple homicide investigation at Six Nations. OPP announced Roland Sturgeon, 21, of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation near London has been charged with three counts of Accessory After the Fact to Murder in connection to the deaths of 37-year-old Melissa Miller, 33-year-old Alan Porter, and 32-yearold Micheal Jamieson: all of Six Nations. The three victims were found murdered near the Oneida Nation of the Thames reserve which is adjacent to the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation. Police say Sturgeon was arrested on March 26 and appeared for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court in Brantford. He is now in police custody. Police would not offer
any further details into the nature of his involvement in the crimes or his arrest. On March 8 Police held a press conference on Six Nations to announce the arrests of Nicholas Shipman, Thomas Bomberry and Jamie Beaver. All three are facing second degree murder charges in the case. A fourth individual, Kirsten Bomberry, is also facing three counts of Accessory After the Fact to Murder. Officers began investigating on Nov. 4 after the victims bodies were found along with an abandoned pickup truck in a privately owned field outside Oneida Nation of the Thames. Police said Miller was seven-months pregnant at the time of her death. Officers said they have identified the cause of death, but they declined to share details on that or any other aspect of the investigation.
Shipman has been in police custody on an unrelated matter since Nov. 3. Investigators would not publicly comment on the relationships among the accused or between them and the homicide victims. The surviving family members for all three victims released a joint statement through the Six Nations Justice Department expressing thanks to police and community members who contributed information that lead to the arrest of the accused. “At this time, the families are asking not to be contacted by the media for any follow up or interviews. The emotional burden of this experience on the families is incredibly difficult and they are presently focused on grieving and enduring with life responsibilities,” said the statement from the Six Nations Justice Department.

Elections Code revisions coming, community vote ahead STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OHSWEKEN — Six Nations Electoral Officer Steve Williams presented to the Six Nations Elected Council. The current Election Code says when a vacancy occurs within four months of a General Election the council can opt to, instead of holding a by-election, call a General Election. The council heard Steve Williams share that the decision comes down to cost. The cost for the last by-election was $25,000. The cost of the previous general election was about $50,000. Costs for a pending by-election are set aside. The discussion comes after the passing of Wray Maracle, elected councillor for District 4. Current District 4 Councillor Helen Miller said she wanted to see a by-election take place because she needs help. Williams said a decision on whether or not to hold a by-election needs to be made within 5 business days of the vacancy. Williams said the proposed dates for Nominations for the coming General Elections is October 5, 2019. Proposed dates for November 2 to hold an advance poll and voting on November 9, 2019. The new proposed dates include an additional week for candidates to campaign. SNEC Councillor Mark
Hill raised concerns that the cost of a by-election added to leaving a space of only 6 months prior to the next General Election doesn’t leave the next councillor much time participate in the council. Council voted to accept the proposed dates for the next General Election and opted not to call a by-election to fill the second seat in District 4. The second seat for District 4 will remain vacant until the next General Election which will allow for the proposed changes to the Election Code to be implemented. Williams also presented SNEC with a copy of the results of the Elections Code research done by the Election Code Committee for proposed revisions coming in 2019. The survey asked 6 questions about the way band members hope elections can go in the future. On the question of districts: 52% waned one large voting district, while 30% wanted to see a reduction in districts and just 18% of respondents wanted to keep the same six districts. An overwhelming 59% of residents wanted to reduce the number of councillors. Just 22% wanted to see SNEC keep 12 councillors and 19% wanted to see an increase. It was a near three way tie on the question of if councillor terms should increase, decrease or stay the same. A majority, 44%, wanted to see a two-term limit

TWO ROW TIMES
HAMILTON — Police say a charge has been laid in the death of a pedestrian who was hit by a GO Transit bus in Hamilton. Hamilton police say a 60-year-old man from Burlington faces a charge of careless driving causing
death. An 84-year-old woman from Brantford was struck by a bus at Hamilton GO Centre station on March 9. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Metrolinx, the provincial agency that operates GO Transit, says in a statement that the driver is currently on paid leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
on person’s elected to council. Perhaps the most staggering responses were on the question of Education requirements: 90% of respondents wanted to see a minimum high school diploma or equivalent for those who want to seek a position on the council. A near unanimous result, 97%, came back on whether or not Six Nations should establish an Integrity Commission. The Commission would include a Code of Conduct and Oath of Office for Councillors. The Election Code Committee says they are drafting a revised Elections Code and are still accepting last chance feedback up until April 15. The final decision on the proposed changes to the Six Nations Election Code lay in the hands of the band members of Six Nations. The committee says SNEC has no overriding authority on whether or not to implement the changes, meaning if the new code is not acceptable the former 1995 version will remain in effect. Voting will be held at Victoria Day, Bread and Cheese festivities on May 20. There will also be an advance poll on May 11 at Dajoh Youth and Elders Centre.

“He did a lot of jobs I couldn’t do and I really appreciated it.” According to Montour and others, Wray’s heart was centred at Six Nations and the word “dedicated” came up many times when talking to friends and colleagues about him. Councillor Dave Hill was impressed with Wray’s work ethic, no matter what he was doing as a fellow District Councillor. “He stood up for values,” said Hill. “He spearheaded a lot of good things for the community, and was accountable to whatever he puts his hand to. He was instrumental in bringing the North American Indigenous Games

to Six Nations and was working towards a 2020 community event. He will be sadly missed.” Wray was a Dean’s Alumni Council member at Brock University. He was a Sports Management program graduate. Brock’s Faculty of Applied Health Sciences Dean Peter Tiidus said Wray was, “a valuable member of my Alumni Council whose presence and knowledge will sadly be missed.” Perhaps Wray’s greatest accomplishments were in the realm of sports.

SIX NATIONS – The Six Nations community morns the passing of 11-year, District 4 Councillor and lifelong sportsman Wray Maracle. He died on March 20, 2019, at Juravinski Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. The cancer he was given a reprieve from a few years ago, returned in recent months. He was 58 years old. Wray leaves behind a lasting legacy as a man deeply interested in his community and the coming generations. Former Elected Chief Bill Montour worked with Wray on the Elected Council since his arrival via by-election in January 2007. Montour was one of many moved by the early passing of Maracle. “I spent a lot of time with Wray,” recalls Montour. “Sometimes he’d just come to my office to talk about the future of Six Nations and ideas he had for the future good of the community.” Montour calls Wray, “the most committed and dedicated District Councillor I have ever worked with, who was always looking for ways to improve the community for the coming faces. He was always a great help on council, many times representing the community when I couldn’t be there,” Montour vividly recalls.

Founder’s Cup victories and building a fan base that has arguably eclipsed every other lacrosse franchise based at Six Nations. Wrays’s love for sports was reflected as an award winning sports writer. He was named the first Indigenous sports writer to win the Ontario Lacrosse Association award for exceptional support to the sport. Later, he served as General Manager of the powerhouse Six Nations Jr. B Rebels dynasty, during which they won five Founder’s Cups. Montour referred to Wray’s sports involvement as being very important, not just to the teams he was involved with, but for the pride of the commu-
nity at large, and always with a sense of fair play. Hall of Fame lacrosse giant Cap Bomberry has nothing but fond memories of his many dealings with Wray both on and off the playing surface. “I’d say he did so much of the lacrosse community,” says Bomberry. “We first met when he was a teenager playing lacrosse and he went through the Six Nations Minor Lacrosse system and was a very good athlete in his younger days. “As far as I am concerned, when Wray took over the Rebels, he brought order, discipline and professionalism not only to the Rebels but it spread eventually to other
Six Nations based teams here and that turned into a lot of success not only for the Rebels but for Six Nations lacrosse in general. I think he was 100% the reason why,” praised Bomberry. Councillor Helen Miller called him a perfect match as a co-councillor for District Four. “We thought a lot alike,” she recalls. “We both had journalism backgrounds and knew the importance of our job as councillors.” Miller referred to his contributions to the community over the years and says of him, “He was a very good councillor, not only for his district but for his entire community. He had lots of knowledge and he and I had a mutual respect for one another which I enjoyed.” Sitting Chief Councillor, Ava Hill, served with Wray on council for many years before becoming Chief and just like former Chief Montour, she too was thankful for such a dedicated and committed councillor who she could always count on. “Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our friend and colleague,” said Elected Chief Ava Hill. “This is a tremendous loss, not only for his family, but for council and the community. Wray’s dedication to the community and the impact of his work has left a legacy that we will all cherish.”

Flooding that has hit parts of the Midwest hard has nearly paralyzed an American Indian reservation in southern South Dakota, swamping roads, trapping people in homes and cutting off water supplies to thousands. The situation on the sprawling Pine Ridge Reservation was improving Tuesday, but two weeks of severe flooding could put the Oglala Sioux tribe in recovery mode for months, if not longer, and deal a serious blow to its economy, President Julian Bear Runner said. ``This is going to have a devastating effect on us, I feel,'' he said. ``The tribe is utilizing any and all of its resources to try to help the communities that have been impacted.'' The prairie reservation is roughly the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined and is home to nearly 20,000 people, about half living in poverty, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics. Heavy snowfall and a rapid melt this month led to overland flooding, swollen creeks and rivers, swamped roads and broken water lines. ``Pine Ridge is like a desert when it comes to resources,'' said Peri Pourier, a tribal member and state representative. ``We're using horses to get out to communities that are away from the main roads. We have elders out there that are just isolated.'' Bear Runner, 33, said it's the worst flooding he has seen and that some tribal elders say they haven't seen so much water since they were children. He said the tribe was still on the ``borderline'' of emergency Tuesday with floodwaters receding, but many tribal members still don't have easy access ``to pharmacies, medication, grocery stores, anything to help sustain themselves.'' The tribe estimates as many as 8,000 people have had water supplies disrupted and another 2,000 have been hampered or trapped by floodwaters. Three people who suffered medical problems died before ambulances slowed by floodwaters could get to them, the tribe said, though it released no other details.
Gov. Kristi Noem sent National Guard soldiers to the reservation over the weekend to help distribute drinking water after floodwaters washed out a rural waterline. The state also sent a water rescue team to help move some tribal residents from isolated homes. The soldiers ended their work Monday after the water line was repaired and water service restored. They distributed about 9,500 gallons of water in seven communities. The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs also has provided manpower and equipment. The agency didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on its efforts. Bear Runner said the tribe hasn't had time to estimate the amount of damage or detail what repairs will be needed. ``I'm hoping if the state and federal government help out to the best of their abilities in assisting us, I suppose we can have this (recovery) done in a matter of months,'' he said. ``But without necessary equipment, if we have to do it on our own, it could take up to a year.'' Also Tuesday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a statement saying it's assessing two Superfund sites in states affected by the flooding. The EPA identified the Superfund sites as the Nebraska Ordnance Plant in Mead, Nebraska, and the Conservation Chemical Corporation in Kansas City, Missouri. Superfund is a law that gives the EPA funding and authority to clean up contaminated sites. The Mead site operated as a munitions plant from 1942 to 1956 and its disposal of radioactive waste and other chemicals led to groundwater contamination. The EPA said it has not found evidence that any hazardous contaminants were released by the flooding. The federal agency added that it will evaluate the sites further as floodwaters recede. Elsewhere in the flood-fighting Midwest , levees shored up by sandbags were keeping the surging Missouri River at bay east of Kansas City. About 140 volunteers were sandbagging to protect a
school in Norborne, Missouri. The Mississippi River was expected to flood some parks and railroad tracks as it crested Tuesday in Hannibal, Missouri. Flooding along the Missouri River and its tributaries has caused at least $3 billion in damage and contributed to at least three deaths. Floodwaters are receding but the National
Weather Service forecast says significant rain is possible later in the week. To the north, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday said people should be on guard for localized flooding but that ideal snowmelt conditions have lessened fears of catastrophic flooding. ``I don't want anybody to let their guard down (but)
when it comes to the actual boots on the ground and the organization, very confident,'' Walz said of flood preparations. The weather service is expecting moderate to major flooding in the Red River Basin of northwestern Minnesota and eastern North Dakota, and sandbag-filling efforts are underway in the Far-
go-Moorhead metro area. However, the two cities have implemented significant flood-fighting measures in the last decade. ``If we had the same water levels (in Moorhead) that we had back in 2011, we would need (3 million) sandbags today to protect that critical infrastructure,'' Walz said. ``We need a little over 100,000 now.''
NOTICE FROM THE SIX NATIONS WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT OFFICE Friday March 22nd 2019: The Six Nations Wildlife Management Office, in collaboration with Trees Unlimited, will be conducting Gypsy Moth egg mass surveys on the territory to determine the general distribution of egg masses and which areas have the most severe infestations. The surveys will be done in preparation for an aerial spray program to be completed later in the spring, in the hope that we can better protect our forests from defoliation and address concerns from residents. 1) The surveyors will include one employee from the Six Nations Wildlife Office as well as one to two foresters from Trees Unlimited, wearing orange safety vests for identification 2) Completing the surveys will require access to some properties in order to visually identify egg masses. If you have any concerns or do not wish to have trees on your property surveyed, please contact the Six Nations Wildlife Office 519-445-0330 3) We ask for the cooperation of residents to complete the surveys, as it will ensure a more thorough and effective program 4) If any residents know of a particularly bad infestation that they would like to have surveyed, please call the Wildlife Management Office at 519-445-0330 to notify the team 5) The surveys will start on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 and will continue for the next 2-3 weeks, depending on weather *The E. gypsy moth is a non-native insect introduced into North America in 1868.

least medical use. New Jersey is debating becoming the 11th state to approve recreational pot. The U.S. government considers marijuana illegal. ``You can't trust the people who sell the drugs to be upfront with the risk,'' Messamore said, calling for warning labels similar to those on tobacco products. The analysis confirmed edibles are trouble. Statewide, they made up less than 1 per cent of total cannabis sales, measured by THC content. Yet 11 per cent of ER visits were triggered by edibles. Monte said edibles are too dangerous to be part of the recreational marketplace. Slow to kick in, their effects last too long for a good party drug, he said. They work better for those who want to use them as medicine. Yet information on safe dosing is lacking, as Denver resident Arlene Galchinsky learned. She took a marijuana gummy for pain on top of a prescription narcotic, becoming so disoriented her husband called paramedics. Galchinsky, 79, didn't go to the ER, but the experience shook her up.

Sweet treats and unique eats a family endeavour WATERFORD — With the return of sunshine comes the excitement to go on a local adventure. Often that drives locals to take a “Sunday Drive” out around Norfolk County where they often end up in the town of Waterford. The community has just 3000 residents and a thriving small business community with excellent foot traffic and tons of free parking. One of the sparkling gems nestled in the open doorways of Alice Street is Ritzy Cakes and Eatery. The ultra femme pink and black decor boasts big city style, something surprising for such a small town. And the food, according to the happy eaters gathered over the weekend, is absolutely holding it’s own and bringing people back and bringing new customers in every day. The restaurant began as a “wouldn’t it be great if” dream between owner Robin Reitz and her mom. The pair took cake decorating classes together that blossomed a love in Robin and showcased she had a unique talent for making spectacular cakes. It was a few posts on social media that led to more and more people asking her to make specialty cakes for her. Eventually those requests were getting to be more than just a side job. “It was literally taking over my kitchen,” said Robin. That was the moment Reitz said she noticed the fork in the road. “My husband and I used to sit across the street. And this place was vacant for number of years. And we would sit and look at it and go, ‘Should we? Could we?’,” said Robin. The then financial advisor made the decision along with her husband Micheal in 2011 to take the plunge and since it’s opening the demand for her baked goods, cakes and catering has skyrock-
eted. Fast forward to 2018 and her son, Micheal, fresh out of Niagara College’s Culinary School, joined the team to start offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now - the eatery is known as a go-to spot in Norfolk County not only for custom ordered and ready made cakes and sweets, but for it’s homemade daily soups and specials. The restaurant boasts a classic breakfast menu, and one of the best cups of coffee in the whole county. For lunch the renowned item is the Corned Beef and Swiss sandwich, with a house made dill pickle mayo. An all-inclusive menu has a Roasted Sweet Potato wrap with feta, dates, and a tahini dressing for a non-meat option. The Autumn Cobb Salad is a crowd favourite — featuring mixed greens, sweet potato crunch, cranberries, pickled apples, egg, grilled chicken and a house Dijon-Maple vinagrette. When warm weather comes around you can also pop in for an ice cream cone as you walk through the village and enjoy your day. Ritzy Cakes also does wedding cakes and catering throughout the year. They have a fabulous Instagram to check out as well at RitzyCakesEatery. While you’re in the village, hop across the street and check out Nifty Gifty. This is a sister business to Ritzy Cakes and Eatery, showcasing gifts and art from over 20 local artisans as well as some giftware. This is a great place to pick up a Mother’s Day gift, or to get some nice handmade decor to freshen up the house for spring. All in all, both locations make for a nice trip to Waterford that is worth the drive and a good option for what to do in Norfolk County.

Five years after Colorado first legalized marijuana, a new study shows pot's bad effects are sending more people to the emergency room. Inhaled marijuana caused the most severe problems at one large Denver area hospital. Marijuana-infused foods and candies, called edibles, also led to trouble. Patients came to the ER with symptoms such as repeated vomiting, racing hearts and psychotic episodes. The study, published Monday in Annals of Internal Medicine, stemmed from tales of tourists needing emergency care after gobbling too many marijuana gummies. ``It was hard to know if these were just anecdotes or if there was a true phenomenon,'' said lead author Dr. Andrew Monte of UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. Three deaths in Colorado tied to edible products also prompted the study. Emergency room re-
cords from Monte's hospital show a three-fold increase in marijuana cases since the state became the first to allow sales of recreational marijuana in January 2014. Nearly a third of patients were admitted to the hospital, evidence of severe symptoms, Monte said. In 2012, the ER saw an average of one patient every other day with a marijuana-caused problem. By 2016, the count was two to three per day. That's not enough to swamp the emergency department, Monte said, but it stresses an already burdened system. Most people can use marijuana safely, Monte said, but with its increased availability and higher THC concentrations, ``we may be seeing more adverse drug reactions,'' he said. THC is the part of marijuana that gets people high. A growing cannabis industry promotes the drug as a cure-all while downplaying dangers, said Dr. Erik Messamore, a psychiatrist at Northeast Ohio Medical University who wasn't involved in the research. More than 30 states now allow marijuana for at

More than 600 Ontarians died from opioid overdoses last year TORONTO — More than 600 Ontarians died from opioid overdoses in the first six months of last year, new numbers reveal, as overdose prevention sites await word on whether they can continue to operate in the province beyond Sunday. Public Health Ontario statistics were quietly updated last week to show that 629 people in Ontario died from opioid-related causes from January to June of 2018. That is 80 more deaths than during the same period in 2017. Data is also now available for the first nine months of 2018 for hospitalizations and emergency department visits. There were 6,688 opioid-related emergency department visits in the province, up from 5,909 during the same time frame last year, and 1,544 hospitalizations, which is down from 1,623 from the same period last year. In 2017 in total, 1,261 people died from an opioid overdose _ up from 867 people in 2016.
NDP health critic France Gelinas said under the previous Liberal government, the province often used to publicly announce when new information on opioid deaths and hospital visits was available. ``With this government, everything that has to do with mental health, with addiction, seems to be back into the dark age when it was taboo,'' she said. ``People need to know that there are people dying all the time, that we have very good prevention strategies in Ontario that are about to run out of funding again.'' Health Minister Christine Elliott is reviewing applications for 21 sites that will be established with $31 million in annual funding under a new overdose prevention site model planned by the government, to be called consumption treatment sites. Existing overdose prevention sites could apply to continue to operate under the new model, and their licences had been set to expire on Jan. 31. The
government then extended those licences to March 31 as the applications were still being reviewed. It was expected that approved sites would transition in the spring to the new model that includes a focus on treatment and rehabilitation. Harm reduction worker Zoe Dodd said it has been hard working month to month. ``You can't just keep getting extensions,'' she said. ``It's so stressful to be working in this environment of uncertainty.'' At a temporary Toronto site that was up and running for a year, 251 overdoses were reversed, Dodd said. In January and February alone this year, her overdose prevention site reversed 173 overdoses, Dodd said. During last year's election campaign, Premier Doug Ford said he was opposed to overdose prevention sites, but Elliott said the evidence demonstrated the sites are necessary, reducing drug-related deaths.

SIX NATIONS — The Chase the Ace Winner Betty DeCaire was awarded the progressive and weekly jackpot combined of $81,180 and $4,060 on Thursday, March 21 at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena by representatives of the Six Nations Minor Lacrosse Association; Registrar and Executive Colleen Montour, Secretary Mandi Styres and President Kevin McNaughton. “We started Chase the Ace mid-season and went for thirty-nine weeks,” said Montour. The purpose of the fundraiser is to help with the costs of running the SNMLA which hosts programming for hundreds of young lacrosse players from Six Nations and the
surrounding area each year. “A lot of times people don’t realize the cost of operating a minor lacrosse association,” she said. “It’s going to offset floor time costs, it’s going to help with refurbishing and buying jerseys for the kids, it’s also going to offset tournament costs. The SNMLA actually pays for two tournaments for each team and one tournament for one team can cost anywhere from six hundred and fifty dollars to seven hundred dollars.” She aid that the money will also help send the Peewee, Bantam and Midget teams to qualifiers. For this fundraiser in particular, Montour said that nearly a year ago; they chose someone that wasn’t associated with the SNMLA to shuffle a deck of cards and place a single card into 52 numbered
envelopes. Then the name of the game was to find the envelope with the ace of spades by purchasing $5.00 tickets to have a chance to select which envelope had it. Each week the progressive jackpot grew and Montour said that the fundraiser got a lot of attention as card numbers were eliminated each week. “Each week we would draw one ticket out of our drum and that ticket would have a number on it and we would open it up,” she said. “We would do it live on air with Jukasa, and the grand total of the amount of tickets sold would be the pot and thirty per cent of that pot went to the weekly prize. Thirty per cent went to SNMLA and forty per cent went to the progressive jackpot.” She said that each week someone won the weekly,
but if they caught the ace of spades they would win both. This was the case for DeCaire. “I’m overwhelmed,” said DeCaire. “I’m shaking and I’m surprised that I won.” She said that she bought tickets for each of the remaining numbers for that week and that the “first thing” she’ll be using the money for is to “pay off the bills.” Montour noted that other members and volunteers of SNMLA including Vice President Frank Staats, Treasurer Michelle Bomberry, Coaching Convener Neil Henhawk and Fundraising and Banquet Organizer Lana Henhawk for offering their time and dedication. They also wished to thank Jukasa Radio and Deejay Carla.
Viewers tuned in on Rogers Hometown Hockey for the first time on Sunday to hear the product of a partnering between Sportsnet and APTN during the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes. Although the Hurricanes rallied to beat the Canadiens 2-1 in overtime in a game with Eastern Conference playoff implications, for many viewers, the scoreline was secondary. This game was the first-ever NHL game to be announced in Plains Cree, featuring exclusive Cree-Language commentary and analysis by Clarence Iron who provided the play-by-play call for APTN, and Juno Award-winning musician Earl Wood who hosted the broadcast’s studio show alongside NHL alumni and game analyst John Chabot. However this wasn’t the first time an NHL game was presented in an indigenous language, as CBC North broadcasters called a game in Inuktitut during Hockey Day in Canada in 2010. In light of the broadcast though, Sportsnet released a list featuring 25 of the most commonly-used hockey terms translated into Plains Cree for those looking to identify or learn some of the terms used in the broadcast: Hockey – soskwatahikewin, soniskwatahikewin, e-soskwatahikehk Arena; rink – soniskwatahikewikamik Assist – e-isi-wepa-
hamawat, e-isi-wepitahamawat, e-isi-wepahamakehk Boards – asicayihk Bodycheck – pakamiskawaw, pakamiskatowak Breakaway – peyakwapoyow, pihkwapoyow, piskwapoyow Centre – tawayihk, tawayihk ka-metawet, otawi-metawew Defencemen – naway ka-metawecik, otahk ka-metawecik, otaskanahk ka-metawecik, okanawikapawiwak Faceoff – napakiwanis Forechecking – kakwe-maskacihew, e-maskamat Forward – onikanapoyow, onikanohtew Hat trick – nisto c-pihtokwahat, nistwaw pihtokwahew, nistwaw pihtokwewepahwew He shoots – kociw He scores – osihew, pihtokwahew Icing – misakame-wepahwew akami-tipahikan Neutral zone – tawi-tipahikanihk, tawisihkwahk Offside – e-osami-nikanapoyot, akami-tipahikanihk Penalty – kipahwaw, misihow/misihowin Penalty box – kipahocowikamikos Penalty shot – misihowin ohci e-miyiht ta-peyakwapoyot, misihowinihk ohci e-peyakwapoyot Puck – atihkwasiniy, napakiwanis, mecawakanis, papamiwepahikanis, ka-kaskicesisit The broadcast has since rallied support online with many speakers of Plains Cree finding it an emotional but much needed victory for pushing the language forward.

SIX NATIONS — After a strict losing streak, the Six Nations Snipers met up with the St. Catharines Shockwave and rocked their full season win streak at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena last Sunday. The first period opened with two goals for the Shockwave after the Snipers were called for too many men. But they were able to answer twice further into the period with Tyler Brown scoring his first from Wayne Vanevery and Ian Martin, and Vanevery scoring himself from Brown and Ashton Jacobs. The Shockwave returned another however, closing the period with a lead 3-2. The second opened with three goals from the Snipers, each by Justin Martin from James Chadwick, Skye Sunday from Brown and Jake Lazore and Brown from I. Martin and Sunday. This was flanked by two

goals from the Shockwave, which brought the game to tie. The third was a heavily defensive period as scoring slowed on both sides. The Shockwave got away with two goals and so did the Snipers with buries from Sunday for his second and Brown for his third, taking the lead 8-7. The fourth period however, allowed the Snipers to take off. Although the Shockwave were able to tie the game up briefly at

OHSWEKEN – Although locally dubbed “the arena”, the Gaylord Powless Arena was originally named the Six Nations Sports and Cultural Memorial Centre when it opened in 1973. A concerned group of the original building team who are now elders have been meeting regularly in hopes to see the arena name returned. Their next meeting is at Dajoh this Friday, March 29th beginning at 1pm.
A letter written by Vera Styres and dated March 1, 2019 says, “More than half of our original arena committee members have passed on since we organized fifty years ago in 1969. Please honour our unique accomplishments and return the name of this arena to the Six Nations Sports and Cultural Memorial Centre.” The original arena committee plans to present their case to Six Nations Elected Council early next week.

SIX NATIONS — Week Six of the Women’s ALL Division finalized last Saturday, with no changes in standings for any of the teams. The Paris RiverWolves still rest on top with the St. Catharines Shockwave just below, and the Six Nations Lady Snipers and Whitby Steelhawks close behind. However, the Shockwave are only behind the RiverWolves in points earned per game, not wins or losses which almost ties the two for first place. As entering the first game of the day on a win streak, the RiverWolves were given a hard go against the Shockwave as they were missing key players on the bench. The Shockwave were stacked on the other hand and took full advantage, ending their match 4-3 and delivering the RiverWolves their second loss of the season. The second game brought the Snipers and Steelhawks together, but with the Steelhawks showing more improvement on transition and more gumption on offence. This gave them the first unassisted goal of the game. However, the first period allowed the Snipers to bury four in a steady assault on the Steelhawks goalie; one from Kenley Jacobs from Mia Martin, an unassisted goal from Mal Bomberry, another from Mia Martin and an unas-
sisted rip from Amber Hill. The second period opened for a blitz from Brie Tremblay, who scored twice from Madison Vonhanke, Miranda Vonhanke, Mekwan Tulpin and Mia Martin. Soon to follow was Amber Hill with her second bury from Lauren Hill. The third period allowed only one goal for both sides as scrambling for ball possession went throughout the period. This goal came from Mia Martin who broke off of the bench and shot from the outside on the fly after a pass from Mekwan Tulpin. The fourth period allowed the Steelhawks a bit more leg room on offence and they buried twice more before the end of the period. However, the Snipers kept a steady pace after the slow third. Tyra Skye scored off of a pass from Brie Tremblay and Amber Hill scored a hat trick from Brie Tremblay. Quick to follow up was Brie Tremblay with her own hat trick from Amber Hill and the final goal of the game from Mia Martin for her third. This ended the match 9-3 for the Snipers. However the next game was an oddly close one for the RiverWolves who matched up with the Steelhawks. Rather than running the scoreboard, the RiverWolves won by a mere three goals with a final of 8-5. For the final game of the day, the Snipers met with the Shockwave. But rather than seeming to let

the game run its course as thy have in the past, the Snipers seemed eager to compete as their bench was full of more hometown players. Mal Bomberry broke the scoring in the first period from Miranda VonHanke and Brie Tremblay. But also closed the scoring for the Snipers in this period, as the Shockwave took the lead 2-1 by the end. The second opened up a lot of scoring opportunities for both sides with goals from Mia Martin and Miranda VonHanke at the start. However, the Shockwave were quick to answer, but Mekwan Tulpin scored two in a

FIL experimenting with new rules for lacrosse for Olympic bid STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
NEW YORK – On Wednesday, March 20 the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) released a call to its member nations to experiment with a new discipline and related set of playing rules for the sport of lacrosse. The new discipline and draft playing rules have been developed by the Blue Skies Working Group in accordance with the FIL, which is responsible for examining innovative ways to best position the sport of lacrosse for present-day growth, including developing the long-term ambition of returning lacrosse to the Olympic Games. Among the most notable variations in the trial rules for mens and women’s discipline are a 6-on-6 format, a smaller field of 70 x 36 meters, shorter games with four 8-minute periods of running clock, a 45-second shot clock, smaller roster sizes of 10 per team, no backup rule for shots — possession changes based
on team that touches the ball last and draws only at the beginning of each period and overtime with 5 seconds after each goal for the goalie to put the ball in play. The Blue Skies Working Group commenced work on the new disciplines of the sport in September, consulting with players, coaches and officials and hosting a series of meetings and conference calls. Some U.S. national team exhibitions at the Team USA Fall Classic in October and the IWLCA Presidents Cup in November were played under FIL trial rules. In January, the FIL Board of Directors endorsed the direction of the Blue Skies Working Group and recommended that FIL members be asked to experiment with the new discipline and playing rules. Earlier this month, FIL members received the draft playing rules and have been asked to trial the new discipline, and provide feedback, during the next two months. The Blue Skies Working Group intends to present a final proposal for approval at the FIL General Assembly Aug. 12-13 in Peterborough,
Ontario. “Our Blue Skies Working Group has had the unique opportunity to reimagine the sport based on the goals of fuelling continued international growth, increasing spectator appeal and maximizing media exposure,” Stenersen said in the press release. “The rule drafts will continue to be refined based on feedback from our member nations, and we look forward to presenting final recommendations at the General Assembly in August.” Overall; for the men’s discipline they wish to eliminate violent collision, eliminate long sticks, maintain other current stick specifications while making goalie stick specifications identical between disciplines. For the women’s discipline they wish to maintain current restrictions on body contact and stick checking, as wells current protective equipment and require eyewear for field players and identical stick specifications for goalie sticks. A summary of trial use recommendations includes: a field size of 70 meters by 36 meters, field markings
including perimeter markings, goal creases, goal line, midline, draw circle, substitution and player boxes with current specifications on goals. While changing the game structure to four 8-minute periods: running clock; 5-minute halftime and 2 minutes between quarters. They also wish to change time clock stops for a timeout, end of a quarter, injury, or during a dead ball within the last two minutes of the fourth quarter and a 45 second shot clock that resets on every possession change. While game and shot clocks stop for a timeout, injury, or during a dead ball within the last two minutes of the fourth quarter it will reset following the end of a quarter with two 30-second timeouts for each team per half. More changes include squad size which will be 10, thus 6 and 4 subs that allow up to two alternates in the case of competition-ending injury which will be determined. On-field players will be 6 on 6; goalie and five field players on the field at one time. Offside will hold both teams must having to
retain two players behind the midline with over-andback completely prohibited. With the ball out-ofbounds; when the ball goes out of bounds for any reason, including a shot, it is awarded to the team that did not touch it last and if a player is fouled in the act of shooting, the goal will count. After a goal the goalie still has 5-seconds to put the ball in play be either passing it or running it out of the
goal circle, and all defending players can run through the crease but cannot act as a goalie. Draws will be at start of each period and O.T., and O.T., will be determined by sudden victory rather than play through a full period of time. As for Penalties, all major, minor and technical fouls and related mechanics as close as possible between disciplines while pre and post game officiating mechanics identical across disciplines.

NEW YORK, NY—Critically-acclaimed debut author Tommy Orange was announced as the winner of the 2019 PEN/Hemingway Award for his novel There There (Knopf) on Tuesday, March 19. Honouring a distinguished first novel, Orange will receive $25,000 un-derwritten by the Hemingway Family and Foundation, as well as a monthlong Residency Fellowship at the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming, which is a retreat for artists and writers that is valued at $10,000. Orange is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, and was born and raised in Oakland, California. He received his MFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), and was a 2014 MacDowell Fellow and a 2016 Writing by Writers Fellow. Orange joins other notable PEN/ Hemingway winners and honourees includ-ing Marilynne Robinson, Edward P. Jones, Jhumpa Lahiri, Colson White-head, Jennifer Haigh, ZZ Packer, George Saunders, Ha Jin, Yiyun Li, Teju Cole, and Ottessa Moshfegh—a four-decade lineage of literary excel-lence founded in 1976 by Mary Hemingway, the widow of Ernest Hem-ingway, to honour her late husband and draw atten-

tion to debut novels. Séan Hemingway, the grandson of the American writer Ernest Heming-way, will present the prestigious literary award to Orange on Sunday, April 7, during a ceremony at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. The two PEN/Hemingway runners-up are Akwaeke Eme-zi for Freshwater (Grove) and Ling Mafor Severance (Macmillan). Two writers will receive Honorable Mention: Meghan Kenny for The Driest Season (W.W. Norton) and Nico Walker for Cherry (Knopf). Runners-up and Honorable Mentions each receive a Residency Fellowship at the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming. Orange’s There There illuminates the lives of urban Native Americans, and looks at their struggles with identity and authenticity. This year’s judges—authors Cristina Garcia, Dinaw Mengestu, and Scott Simon—called There There a “devastatingly beautiful novel, as
acutely attuned to our current cultural and political condition as it is to the indelible legacy of violence that brought us here.” The judges added that “the breadth and scope of this novel are matched only by the fierce and relentless intelli-gence that Orange brings to his characters, who despite tragedy, heartbreak and loss, reside in a remarkable world of hardearned grace.” “Orange’s novel is striking in its range and depth, and it is exceptional for a debut novel to disrupt and expand the landscape of American fiction the way that There There has,” said Literary Awards Program Director Nadxieli Nieto. “It is exactly this kind of groundbreaking work that the PEN/ Hemingway Award honours.” The PEN/Hemingway Award Ceremony will take place at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library on Sunday, April 7, from 2 to 3pm and is free and open to the public. Renowned novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen will be the keynote speaker.
