editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations is entering into an election and the official list of candidates was released Tuesday morning.

Earlier unofficial lists saw 4 candidates nominated for elected chief and 21 band members nominated to run for elected council.

Those nominees had time to consider accepting their nomination.

All four candidates for Six Nations elected chief have accepted. Cynthia Jamieson, Harvey Powless, Mark Hill and Courtney Skye are all running to serve as elected chief.

Four people dropped out of the running for the elected council members — leaving 17of the 21 candidates looking to claim 9 seats.

Current elected council member Carl Hill was nominated but does not appear on the list of confirmed nominees.

Hill previously expressed frustration that minimum education requirement changes to the Six Nations Election Code that come into effect this term would exclude him from running for another term as he does not have a high school diploma.

Also leaving the list

Just four people dropped out of the running for Six Nations next elected council.

of nominees are Brenda Johnson, Coleen Davis and Chad General.

Of the current council members just six are seeking re-election as councillors. Audrey Powless-Bomberry, Sherri-Lyn Hill-Pierce, Hazel Johnson, Helen Miller, Melba Thomas, and Kerry Bomberry are in the running.

The 11 new candidates are: Derek Bomberry, Lynn Bomberry, Michelle Bomberry, Greg Fraser, Wendelyn Johnson, Rhonda Martin, Crysal

Monture, Alaina VanEvery, Nick Wyman, Rodney Whitlow and Nathan Wright.

Six Nations Electoral Officer Steve Williams clarified how elections will go now that the community’s election code has removed district voting and transitioned to overall popular vote.

Williams says Six Nations citizens will have 1 vote for elected chief and can vote for up to 9 elected council candidates.

Woman charged with cannabis act violations BRANT COUNTY — A Six Nations woman is facing charges after being stopped in a Brant County OPP and Six Nations Police joint RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) check on Highway #54. On September 26, OPP stopped a vehicle at about 10:45 p.m. and found a large quantity of cannabis in several different packages.

Police conducted an investigation and charged Lauren Cornelius, 27, of Six Nations with two violations of the Cannabis Act plus an additional Criminal Code violation for possessing property obtained by crime.

OPP say they are leading an enforcement strate-

gy which also includes other Ontario police services.

This strategy will reflect actionable intelligence on illegal cannabis operations. The focus of the strategy is to dismantle organized crime groups, eliminate the illegal cannabis supply, remove illegal cannabis enterprises such as store fronts and online, and target the proceeds of crime and assets.

Anyone with information about this or any incident in the County of Brant can call the County of Brant OPP at 1-888310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

Officers entered the barricaded green hut on Fourth Line and say they seized an undisclosed amount of cannabis products and cash from

the location. Police say the building is known to be an active and unlicensed cannabis dispensary.

Four people were arrested and are now facing Cannabis Act charges: 25 year old Ryan Davis, 20 year old Kenneth Davis, 19 year old Dallas Porter and 20 year old Alyziah Styres are charged with distribution, possession and selling illicit cannabis.

Lobby exhibit rehumanizes MMIW data STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO — The Gardiner museum has opened the Canadian debut of “Cannupa Hanska Luger: Every One & Kali Spitzer: Sister,’ an exhibit that opened on August 30 and will continue to be on display until January 12 that focuses on bringing visibility to the crisis surrounding murdered and missing Indigenous women, girls, trans, and queer community members.

The work offers a platform for the large and abstract data of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, queer, and trans community members to be re-humanized by representing each life with a handmade object — some of which take shape as beads.

Made up of over 4,000 clay beads, created by hundreds of communities across the United States and Canada in response to Luger’s call to action shared over social media,

TORONTO - The work offers a platform for the large and abstract data of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, queer, and trans community members to be re-humanized by representing each life with a handmade object — some of which take shape as beads.

PHOTO SUBMITTED.

Every One (2018) re-humanizes the number of murdered and missing indigenous women and girls, which is often left as a stand alone set of data that takes away from who they are.

Luger is a New Mexico-based, multi-disciplinary artist from the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, he is of Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara, Lakota, Austrian, and Norwegian descent.

Using social collabo-

ration and in response to timely and site-specific issues, Luger work becomes multi-pronged projects that take many forms.

Through monumental installations that incorporate ceramics, video, sound, fibre, steel, and cut-paper, Luger interweaves performance and political action to communicate stories about 21st century Indigeneity.

Spitzer is Kaska Dena from Daylu (Lower Post, British Columbia) on her

father’s side and Jewish from Transylvania, Romania on her mother’s side.

She is from Yukon and grew up on the West Coast of British Columbia in Canada on unceded Coast Salish Territory.

She is a trans disciplinary artist who mainly works with film and wet plate collodion process.

Her work includes portraits, figure studies, and photographs of her people, ceremonies, and culture. Her work has been exhibited and recognized internationally. Spitzer recently received a Reveal Indigenous Art Award from the Hnatyshyn Foundation in Canada and was featured in the National Geographic and Photo Life magazine in 2018.

On June 3, 2019, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls released their final report titled Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. They concluded, among other findings, that

the deaths and disappearances of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people are marked by indifference, and that prejudice and stereotypes about these groups negatively influence police investigations.

In Canada, the statistics reveal that Indigenous women and girls are 12 times more likely to be murdered or missing than any other women in Canada.

This backs the response to the data collected by the Native Women’s Association of Canada made

by Luger, who created a call to action video shared through social media that invited communities across the United States and Canada to make 2-inch clay beads last year, each one representing a unique person who has been lost. Hundreds of participants held workshops, both with Luger and on their own, making the beads in studios, community centres, universities, and private homes. These experiences generated over 4,000

beads, as well as numerous conversations, stories, and occasions for healing through clay.

Every One references and stands in solidarity with the photograph Sister by Kali Spitzer.

Spitzer explores the individual stories behind the MMIWQT crisis through portraiture and self-representation. She works in the medium of tintypes, a photographic process popular in the 1860s and 1870s, particularly with settlers in the Canadian and American West.

Spitzer reclaims this process, adapting it to create images of contemporary Indigenous survivance.

As a duo, Every One and Sister encourages viewers to recognize and honour the stories embedded in the MMIWQT crisis, and to contemplate the responsibilities and relationships to it.

The exhibit greets visitors in the lobby, where it will remain until next year.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

An open letter to those considering a vote

By Lyle Hill With election season in full swing and with the Federal election for Canada’s next Prime Minister on the horizon I thought I would share with you a concern.

I understand the problems associated with voting in Canadian elections and trust me, this is not an attempt on my part to encourage you to vote. Indigenous issues has been a hot topic in the debates among the Canadian party leaders and while the debates around these issues have been… spotty? Nevertheless, Indigenous leaders and influencers from across the nation have been voicing their criticisms and their supports for their favourite party leaders.

Jagmeet Singh. The New Democratic Party leader has captured Indigenous support with his bold claims for

steps toward reconciliation.

His boldest claim yet, and the promise I would like to focus on here, is the promise to fix the issue of contaminated water in Indigenous communities.

Now let me preface this with an acknowledgement.

I agree and I would assume a majority of the population would agree that any community struggling to live with contaminated water deserves to have that stress relieved. What I am saying is that giving clean water to a community is a good thing and I would like to think that most people would agree with that. So with that in mind I want to ask the question that needs to be asked, how?

Look. I’ve read the tweets. “How?! What do you mean how?? If this were any other community Canada wouldn’t ask how, they would ask how soon can we

fix this problem?”

Again, I do not think that is the issue. I believe that most people would agree that every community deserves clean water. But the question is still imperative.

How? How do you plan to solve this problem? Jagmeet Singh has promised a blank cheque.

When I read that statement I cringed.

A quick scroll down through the Indigenous Twitter-verse confirmed my fears.

So before you take to celebration let’s take a moment of pause. Let’s really consider what Singh is promising but before we get to that we must also understand one more thing.

We, as the people of Six Nations of the Grand River, must acknowledge that we are privileged in regards to most other Indigenous com-

munities. That is not to say that we also do not have our issues with water and hydro but in most cases our issues with the services of our community are not based on needs but convenience.

We have the privilege to argue, debate and disagree with leadership. We have the privilege to complain that our roads need to be fixed. We have the privilege to ask if we could be doing better. And that is not something other reserves do not have the privilege to do.

They must ask when and if their services necessary for survival will occur.

With that being said I understand the outcry of relief and support for Singh’s promise to bring clean water to remote Indigenous communities. Because they need it.

But. Need, even desperate need, does not answer the question of how.

You can run yourself in circles with the logic.

The problem is with the logistics. Just consider the parameters. The area is remote and cannot be accessed to any existing system to supply clean water. Therefore a new system must be built to service the area. The area is a barren rock susceptible to intense cold temperatures surrounded by water poisoned by mercury. You could apply chlorine to the water but the amount of chlorine needed to clean out the amount of mercury would render the water poisonous from chlorine so that’s a dead end. So an entirely new system must be invented or innovated to survive in the environment for these communities. That’s right it must be invented and then duplicated or altered for each individual community.

Again, invent a new system

that filters water in a way that does not exist yet and can operate in extreme cold.

Do innovative water systems exist? Of course.

But Singh’s promise would require years of research and development, deployment, operation and sustainability. Billions of dollars. And here we go.

Yes, I understand that money should not be an issue here. Yes, I understand Canada still owes Indigenous people billions of dollars for a number of reasons. But on that note we all know that they never intended to keep those agreements and would never save money to pay out on an agreement they never meant to keep.

But the money has to come from somewhere.

And it is going to come from Canadians. Or it’s money

Two Hamilton teens facing weapons charges after high school incident

Hamilton police say two teenagers are facing charges after they allegedly brought weapons to a high school in the city.

Police say that on Friday afternoon an on-line feud between two youths resulted in one of them going to Glendale Secondary School with an adult friend armed with a small hatchet and pocket knife.

Investigators say the two didn't find the person they were looking for and fled after school officials told them that the police had been called.

Police say they subsequently charged two Hamilton males -- a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old.

The younger suspect was charged with threatening, possession of a weapon and carrying a concealed weapon, while the other faces charges of possession of a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon and

breach of release conditions.

The incident follows the stabbing death last Monday of 14-year-old boy outside his Hamilton school.

Devan Bracci Selvey died in the arms of his mother, who said he'd been bullied in the weeks leading up to his death.

His funeral was held yesterday.

Two teens _ an 18-yearold man and a 14-year-old boy _ have been charged with first-degree murder in the case.

HAMILTON — Police in Hamilton are searching for witnesses after a pedestrian died in an alleged hit-and-run.

Investigators say the incident happened shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday

night when a 65-year-old man was hit by a car while crossing the road.

Police say the driver fled the scene after the incident.

Hamilton police say their collision reconstruc-

tion unit is still investigating the incident.

They're asking for any witnesses to come forward and for residents in the area to check their security camera footage.

Mother of slain teen says 'everyone' failed her son STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

HAMILTON _ A mother who witnessed her son being stabbed to death outside his high school broke her silence on Wednesday, blaming the system for failing to protect the 14-year-old from the ``bullies'' who she said made his first month of school a nightmare.

Shari-Ann Bracci-Selvey broke down in tears as she spoke to reporters for the first time since her son Devan died near Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School in Hamilton on

Monday afternoon.

Two teens aged 14 and 18 are currently facing first-degree murder charges in his death, which police have previously described as premeditated.

Bracci-Selvey spared no one when describing who was responsible for her son's death, saying everyone from the school he attended to his own family let him down. ``Everyone failed my son,'' she said. ``Even I did.

I tried to save him and I couldn't.''

The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board did not immediately respond to request for comment on her allega-

tions.

Bracci-Selvey said her son had been viciously bullied since the second day of school. His ``tormentors'' stole his bike at that time and harassed him ever since, she said.

She said Devan missed a lot of classes _ either refusing to go to school or calling her requesting to be picked up early.

She did not say if such a call was what brought her to the school Monday afternoon, but said she has yet to come to terms with ``the horror'' she witnessed. ``I haven't slept, I haven't eaten, every time I close my eyes it's there,''

she said. ``So if I don't close my eyes I can't relive it.''

Bracci-Selvey said her son was not the only target of the bullying, often shielding his friends facing similar harassment.

An obituary for the teen describes a boy with a ``passion for old cars, video games and a loving heart for animals.''

Hamilton police had previously arrested four people in connection with his death, but later released two 16-year-olds without charges.

Investigators are scheduled to provide an update on the case later Wednesday afternoon.

Zero tolerance policies aimed at stopping bullying not working, say experts CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO — The shocking death of a 14-year-old Ontario boy who was stabbed outside his high school raises questions about the effectiveness of the anti-bullying campaigns that have gained prominence in Canada in recent years, those with expertise in the matter said Thursday.

The death of Devan Bracci-Selvey came after a month of relentless bullying from fellow students and alleged failures of the systems meant to protect him, according to his mother, who witnessed her son's violent death on

Monday.

Researchers who study bullying and parents who have experienced its devastating effects first-hand said any potential failures don't stem from lack of awareness on the subject.

The past few decades have seen innumerable efforts to tackle the issue, with school boards, police forces, community groups and advocates all spreading the message.

But they all agree many of those approaches miss the mark, ensuring the cycle of violence goes uninterrupted.

Carol Todd, whose 15-year-old daughter Amanda took her own life in response to violent bullying, said in an interview from Port Coquitlam, B.C.

that she's saddened to find herself discussing another case half a country away.

Todd, an educator with a Vancouver-area school board, said many of the bullying intervention strategies she's observed since Amanda's death are asking the wrong questions. ``We talk about bullying and we talk about how we can combat it, how can we end it,'' Todd said Thursday _ seven years to the day her daughter died. ``Are we doing enough to talk about the aspects of compassion, empathy, kindness and respect? Are we teaching our young people how to be respectful to other people and what to do?''

Todd said a common approach involves anti-bullying advocates making a one-time appearance in schools and delivering a lecture to students. She said that approach not only fails to resonate with students, but risks making sure the message gets lost entirely. ``In the school system, when you bring in an anti-bullying advocate now, kids are turning off their ears,'' she said. ``They're tired of the conversation.

We have to figure out different ways.''

Debra Pepler, a psychology professor at York University who's done extensive research on aggression in children, agreed.

She said international

research has clearly indicated that one-off interventions have little effect, saying the best approaches are usually implemented across an entire school and engage students and staff alike.

Early intervention helps, she said, noting such strategies become more difficult to implement as children age.

But such strategies do exist, she said, citing the Fourth R program developed at Ontario's Western University. The title of the program refers

to ``relationships,'' she said, noting emphasis on healthy human interaction is at the heart of effective anti-bullying efforts.

Another example of an evidence-based program is dubbed WITS, an initiative focused on elementary schools that also drew praise in a 2016 research project from Dalhousie University.

Pepler said provincial governments have a role to play too, noting those such as British Columbia

that could be going towards Canadians.

I can feel your frustration from that statement but let me explain.

That frustration you felt (and are feeling) is being felt and will be felt by every Canadian who has to read that billions of dollars every year to give to Indigenous communities (not their own communities). And right there is my point. If Singh

had given us a plan for solving the problem I would feel different. If Singh had said this is what we’re going to do and this is why it is going to work, at least we would have something to sink our teeth into before we blew a billion dollars.

So what am I getting at? Singh is going to throw money at this problem until it’s solved and at this point it looks incredibly difficult to solve. So what? So it might not get solved in Singh’s

four years of being Prime Minister (getting ahead of ourselves) and that could be a problem. What if Singh can’t fix the problem in four years. What if Singh spends billions of dollars with nothing to show for it. We would say thanks for trying. But look at it from a Canadian’s point of view. Billions of dollars and not one community has a self-sustaining clean water system.

Singh would get tossed aside at the next election

and any party who campaigns for Indigenous issues gets the lowest votes in history. Indigenous people would get blamed for the National deficit, the next recession and higher taxes.

Are any of these claims factual? Of course not but that will not matter. Canada spent billions on Indigenous people and are billions of dollars in debt, that will be the story.

And then what? Well let’s not think about that.

Let’s focus on right now.

So Singh’s plan is wrong but why? Well it’s not a new reason but it’s colonial ignorance.

Why can’t these remote communities have access to clean water? Well the reason is because they’re so remote! Seems obvious but my favourite Twitter comments are those people who realize this but finish their comment with “They can’t expect to live in these areas and enjoy the same luxuries as the rest of us”.

Wow. Colonial Ignorance.

Not one Indigenous community picked their reserve.

The reserves were picked by the Federal government for the purpose of being so difficult to cultivate. Difficult to grow crops, access water and access settlements.

I’m not saying Singh is playing a sick joke on Indigenous people but it is really ignorant of him or anyone to say that they want to solve the water problem on reserves by spending money. Honestly they will more than likely just cause more harm to the environment but again, lets not go there.

The return of lands to Indigenous communities is the ideal, right and just action for Indigenous people to flourish once again. But no one is talking about that, at least no non-Indigenous people are talking about that.

Local artist Arnold Jacobs honoured with 2019 OACIA Award STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANTFORD — Visual artist Arnold Jacobs was chosen as the recipient of the 2019 Ontario Arts Council Indigenous Arts Award which gave him a prize of $10,000 on Saturday, October 12 at the Woodland Cultural Centre.

The award, created in 2012, celebrates the work of Indigenous artists and arts leaders who have made significant contributions to the arts in Ontario.

The jury members were unanimous in selecting Jacobs for the recognition, stating: “Long before Indigenous visual arts were getting widespread critical attention, Arnold was creating seminal works that gave us a deeper understanding of who we are. He has gained an impressive following for his bold, vivid and engaging work – while at the same time opening the door for so many others, in his own quiet and humble way.

BRANTFORD — Visual artist Arnold Jacobs was chosen as the recipient of the 2019 Ontario Arts Council Indigenous Arts Award which gave him a prize of $10,000 on Saturday, October 12 at the WCC. Jacobs nominated Montana Adams (right) at this year's emerging laureate.

PHOTO BY SUBMITTED

We want to thank Arnold for more than 40 years of sharing our cultural narratives and beliefs within our communities, and around the world.”

Jacobs is Onondaga, Turtle Clan of the Haudenosaunee, and has lived

on the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory for most of his life. He is a visual artist and the owner of the Two Turtle Art Gallery in Ohsweken, Ontario.

His family raised him with traditional Haudeno-

saunee teachings and language. After high school, he moved to Toronto to pursue fine arts and design training, and graduated from Central Tech’s Arts program in 1966.

But in the mid-1980s, Jacobs began to reflect

on the lack of traditional culture, artwork or stories present at his school and within his community. As a way of addressing this gap, he decided to devote his career to honouring and transmitting his people’s beliefs, spirituality

and teachings through the arts.

This inspiration has guided him throughout his career, which has spanned a variety of visual media – from painting and contemporary graphics, to clothing designs and clan jewelry. It has also influenced his special focus on educating and empowering Indigenous youth to be proud of who they are.

His works are featured in the collections of museums and institutions around the Great Lakes region, as well as internationally. He has been commissioned to create paintings and murals for diverse venues, including schools, health care centres, universities and commercial buildings.

The OAC Indigenous Arts Award also honours emerging leadership: each year, the award recipient is invited to nominate a rising Indigenous artist or arts professional to receive a $2,500 prize. Jacobs selected visual artist Montana Adams as this year’s emerging laureate.

ONWA to launch new indigenous women’s magazine

commitment to end racism and violence, which flows into the ONWA’s vision.

Established in 1971, the Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) is a not for profit organization that sets out to empower

and support all Indigenous women and their families in the province of Ontario through research, advocacy, policy development and programs that focus on local, regional and provincial activities.

Their vision is to be a unified voice for equity, equality and justice for Indigenous women through cultural restoration within and across Nations. The ONWA delivers culturally enriched programs and

services to Indigenous women and their families regardless of their status or locality.

The magazine framework hopes to centre on Indigenous Women’s leadership while collectively honouring wisdom by reclaiming that which colonization had targeted — inherent knowledge as leaders in families and communities.

The event will offer moments with the ONWA President Dawn Lavell-Harvard, ONWA Executive Director, Cora McGuire-Cyrette, MediaEdge Publisher Maurice P. LaBorde and from our feature cover story “ONWA’s Honourary Grandmother” Dorothy Wynne, as the official cover of the new magazine is unveiled. The process, vision and content will be discussed followed by a question-and-answer section.

Earlier this month, the ONWA recognized that

Indigenous women gathered across the country in solidarity to be the visible presence for what often “seems invisible to most Canadians.”

The ONWA held Sisters in Spirit Vigils at all ONWA locations across the province as part of the larger Sisters in Spirit Initiative, headed by the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) annually.

Similar vigils are being held all across Canada. The Sisters in Spirit Vigils are open to all individuals and organizations who would like to come for a time of remembrance, awareness, and support for families.

The Vigils will educate those in attendance of the alarmingly high levels of violence against Indigenous women and girls in Canada, and will help to provide healing for families who have experienced a loss to violence. Violence against women reaches across all

Art exhibit showcases Native American comic book heroes STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SANTA ROSA, U.S.A — On Tuesday, October 15, the SRJC’s Jesse Perter Multicultural Museum opened a new and free-to-see feature exhibit titled “Beyond Stereotypes: Native Americans Restyle the Comic Book Universe” which will run until Dec. 19 Santa Rosa has geared up for the comic celebration, with the annual Comic-Con event in San Diego will be next summer, by bringing together contemporary comic books written by indigenous artists featuring indigenous heroes and vintage comics that portray characters of indigenous descent.

The exhibit includes original artwork by local Kashia Pomo, artist Eric Wilder and Arigon Starr, the Kickapoo author of the tongue-in-cheek graphic novel “Super Indian.”

Rachel Minor, the museum’s supervisor and curator, said the exhibit is designed to introduce visitors to Native American comics and challenge outdated narratives that depict Native American characters as stereotypes.

The exhibit comprises 45 items in all, including framed art, digital prints, framed comics and action figures.

Minor got the idea for the exhibit from her

Another likely standout: Starr’s “Super Indian” work. Unlike many indigenous characters who are portrayed as stoic and reserved, Starr’s heroine is bold, brash, self-effacing and downright funny.

mother, who lives in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and discovered a comic book shop in Albuquerque that only sells comics written by Native American authors. Minor’s mother bought some samples and sent them to Sonoma County. Minor was so inspired she began researching the subject on her own.

As part of this research, Minor discovered Wilder

and Starr, the two behind the iconic recreation of the medium. They are considered icons in the world of indigenous comics, and among the other artists, both were eager to participate.

“Comic books offer a glimpse of how culture shifts happen from decade to decade. With the creative infusion of Indigenous artists and writers in the Comic world, it is our

hope that multi-faceted Indigenous characters will inspire young people to find their own voices and continue telling their own stories in a way that is both relatable and new,” wrote Minor as part of the curator’s statement.

For Wilder, who took classes at SRJC in the 1980s, now lives in Point Arena and said he uses imagery as a way of telling stories to bridge tradition and modernity.

Another likely standout: Starr’s “Super Indian” work. Unlike many indigenous characters who are portrayed as stoic and reserved, Starr’s heroine

is bold, brash, self-effacing and downright funny. The comic has the look and feel of traditional “Superman” books. Currently, it is compiled into two graphic novels with a third being released later this year.

While these modern comics are interesting, vintage books pack a historic punch. Die-hard comic book fans will appreciate some books from the original Marvel Comics and DC Comics universes. Both have featured several Native American characters between the 1950s and today. Minor said she

incorporated these older books to demonstrate how non-Native artists have depicted the Native American characters over time.Among the X-Men characters in the exhibit: Thunderbird, who lasted only three issues before he was killed trying to save a crashing airplane; Warpath, Thunderbird’s brother who spent his life seeking revenge; and Forge, a veteran of the Vietnam War who fashioned himself a prosthetic arm after losing his in battle. Black Condor, who was part of the Freedom Fighters series, will also be in the house.

SIX NATIONS — On Tuesday night, surrounded by Six Nations Elected Council members, other delegations and family, Cara Skye, 12, was recognized for her achievements in softball as a pitcher for the Cambridge Coyotes.

Her parents Louise and William ‘Bill’ Skye, her aunt Shirley Johnson, and coach Shane Graham were present during her recognition, as Chief Ava Hill read her bio aloud to the applaud and nods of the other SNEC members.

“The future for Cara is very bright and as her coach I look forward to helping her strive to make it to the highest level,” said Graham. “Anytime one of your players receives recognition for their success in life, you are proud as a coach.”

Skye helped the Coyotes have a very successful 2019 season which lead them to 6 Gold Medals, 3 Silver Medals in tournament play and a Grand Valley League Championship.

SIX NATIONS - Dubbed "the next Carey Leigh," 12 year-old Cara Skye accepted a recognitional plaque from the Six Nations Elected Council on Tuesday evening for her achievements as a pitcher PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN with the Cambridge Coyotes.

The Coyotes finished the 2019 season with 72 Wins 5 Loses – 2 Ties.

Skye said that her career in ‘ball began six years ago.

“I started to play t-ball then I moved up into the Brantford Bobcats, then from the Bobcats I moved up into a U-12 team, but I was actually only nine years-old.”

Skye luckily turned 10 by provincials to play and played with the Bobcats ahead of her age division.

Backed by her parents, she now makes the trip to play an hour away from home three-times a week.

“I put a lot of effort and time into this,” she said. “It’s just fun to play with my team.”

Skye was with the Coyotes in nine tournaments this season as they earned silver medals at the Queen of Diamonds and the Provincial Tier 1 Grand Championship and gold medals at the Waterloo In-

HALIFAX — The Halifax Thunderbirds professional lacrosse team traded in their lacrosse sticks for canoe paddles this summer as Halifax Thunderbirds Owner and General Manager Curt Styres paddled their way to Halifax by October 1. Along with a rotating group of players and supporters, Styres undertook the 92-day canoe crusade from Six Nations, to deliver professional lacrosse to Nova Scotia and to prove that the team was serious about going to Halifax and that it wasn’t taken lightly.

Earlier in August, the journey also landed the canoe trip in Kahnawake where PHOTO SUBMITTED they had a lacrosse game against interested players.

vitational, Hurricane Hazel Showdown, John Cross Memorial, Battle of the Bats, UTM Big Show, Provincial Qualifiers and Grand Valley Ladies Association Playoffs.

Skye was then voted in by her teammates to represent the Cambridge Coyotes at the 2019 Ontario All-Star Game. She played with fellow All-Stars from the Grand Valley League against the Peel/Halton All-Stars. Even among the top players in the province

she played a big role in the GVLSA All-Stars 6 – 2 victory over the Peel/Halton All-Stars. She was named starting pitcher for the game and pitched a solid 2 innings. She also demonstrated her power early in the game with a home-run in her first at bat of the game. Her performance earned her the All-Star Game MVP Award.

Strong and sure of herself, Skye said that she has more plans for the future besides wanting to earn a scholarship for baseball.

“I want to be national champions this year, because this is when we can go and qualify for the nationals. Then after that I’m going to strive to get better and get on Team Canada and then maybe go into the olympics. So that’s where my big goal is,” she said.

But after finding her niche in softball, “the next Carey Leigh Vyse” points her achievements to “hard work,” offering words of encouragement to other young athletes: “‘All it takes is all you got,’ is what we have on the back of our t-shirts and ‘have fun competing’ is the main thing

on our team and that’s the main advice that I would give to other kids.”

“If you don’t have fun competing then you’ll lose your energy and you will lose sight of why you’re playing and you’ll lose the fun of the game.”

The recognition she received, she said, felt “good” and “amazing” and she knows she has more work cut out for her.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Listen carefully to what others are saying, Leo. You have to find the meaning between the words; otherwise, you can’t get the bigger picture others are seeing.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Let a few laughs out this week if the pressure builds, Virgo. You have been pushing yourself, and it’s easy for stress to build up. Laughter is the best medicine for this.

You do not know the reason for the excitement just yet, but the details will slowly emerge. Enjoy the ride!

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you have some insider information that could get you into usually locked doors or special meetings. Use this to your advantage to get ahead this week.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, if you run into a spot of trouble, you can always use your charm to get out of it. You have a way with words, and it usually helps in a pinch.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 You may choose to be understated in your approach to a relationship, Capricorn. However, those closest to you understand that bigger emotions are brewing beneath the surface.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A few deep breaths and a mantra that “everything will be okay” can help you sail through some pressures at work this week, Aquarius. The dust will soon settle.
