Outfielder Kobe Jacobs and pitcher Nathan Hill perfect the art of baseball in Brantford Red Sox win NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES
BRANTFORD — Brantford 15U Tier 2 Red Sox outfielder Kobe Jacobs couldn’t have executed a better sacrifice bunt. Setting the stage was Jacobs who in the fourth inning, put a charge through the George Henry Park fanbase when he executed a perfect sacrifice bunt which scored Marc General from third with the fifth run in an eventual 7-5 win against Dundas. “The coach told me to,” Jacobs said in reference to putting down the sac bunt. “I was just focusing on keeping my eye on the ball.” In terms of the secret of putting down the perfect

sac bunt Jacobs replied, “Good hand eye coordination.” Meanwhile an excited Brantford manager Cory
Warming up before the game was Red Sox player Nathan Hill who pitched a few innings during their season finale win at George PHOTO BY NEIL BECKER Henry Park against Dundas.
Hill couldn’t say enough about Jacob’s execution which cashed in the tying run. “This (bunt) was something we talked about,” Hill said. “Kobe is so fast. It was a perfect bunt. Just a huge bunt.” Closing out on Friday, September 4 a monthlong season, the Brantford 15U Tier 2 Red Sox made some great defensive plays including a few from General at third base. They also displayed some smart baserunning from Nathan Hill which caught the manager’s attention and went a long way towards Brantford coming out with the win.
When General’s great defensive plays at third base were brought up, Coach Hill commented; “Marc is such a gamer. He came to play and defense wins games. I’ve been encouraging him to go Tier 1.” Hill also had high praise for his son Nathan Hill’s all- around game including his aggressive baserunning which saw him score a couple of key runs against Dundas. “Nathan is a smart baserunner. He can really pick up on the situation,” Hill said. “He’s not the fastest, but Nathan makes things happen. He picks his spots and that’s what
he did today.” Coming into play sporting a 3-6 record, Brantford scored two third inning runs, including Hill with the second for an early 2-0 lead. An inning later the Dundas bats came alive as they erupted for five runs to surge ahead. “It’s good competition. It’s a good workout,” Jacobs said about what he likes about playing baseball. “We ran the bases aggressively and played good defense.” Down but certainly not out, Brantford put together a storybook ending to their season which began in bottom of the fourth action. After scoring two runs, Jacobs with men on base executed that sac bunt which scored General with the equalizer. Following that, the offence erupted for two more runs as they managed to successfully end their campaign on a winning note. “We finished on a high note and it’s fantastic,” Coach Hill said. “It’s like Christmas Day. Everyone is so happy and you can’t ask for anything more.” Having fun, developing those skills and making life long memories is what Brantford 15U Tier 2 Red Sox baseball is all about. PM42686517

OPP arrest more people related to Mckenzie Meadows "Landback Lane" STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
CALEDONIA – A Haudenosaunee journalist and former candidate for Six Nations Elected Chief have been arrested for their part in the land occupation at the Mckenzie Meadows housing development in Caledonia. OPP confirmed 20 people have been arrested for attending the 1492 Land Back Lane land occupation of the Mckenzie Meadows housing development. However, some land defenders say the number of people arrested is much higher, alleging 36 people have been arrested so far. Haldimand County OPP confirmed a 34-year-old and 31-year-old from Guelph were arrested and charged with mischief and disobeying a court order on Tuesday. On September 3, 2020, four individuals including a 27-year-old and 29-yearold from Barrie, Ontario, a 28-year-old from Greater Napanee, Ontario as well as a 33-year-old from Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, Ontario were
all arrested and charged with Mischief and Disobeying Order of Court. Late last week, two more Haudenosaunee individuals were arrested for their presence at the housing development blockade: journalist for podcast One Dish One Mic, Karl Dockstader and Yellowhead Institute’s Courtney Skye. Both are Haudenosaunee people and details about their arrests surfaced on social media Thursday. In a statement, One Dish One Mic said that Dockstader, who is Oneida Bear Clan, understood that his presence at the site of the land occupation as a journalist would ensure that he was not arrested. The statement says he was arrested and charged with mischief and failure to comply with a court order. Skye reported on her Twitter account that she was arrested while sitting along the Grand River. Skye is a policy analyst for the Yellowhead Institute, a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation’s board and was previously a candidate for Six Nations
elected chief in 2019. “I can't believe I was arrested. I'm the chair of our rez development corporation and a researcher at a think tank that studies injunctions. A freelance writer with international bylines. All summer I worked for the band as manager in the Justice Dept. My work is on the frontlines,” wrote Skye. The Supreme Court granted two injunctions surrounding the land occupation: one on the worksite of the Mckenzie Meadows housing development and another on Haldimand County roads where demonstrators had erected road blocks in the area surrounding the worksite. Land defenders posted details to social media saying OPP were planning to attend the Mckenzie Meadows property to read updates to the injunctions to people on site Friday morning. It has been 47 days since people have occupied the worksite to halt the housing development, saying they are upset with the accommodation agreement struck between the housing developer and the Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council.

HALDIMAND - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Haldimand County Detachment is investigating a serious two vehicle head-on collision that injured four occupants on Highway 6 in Hagersville, Haldimand County, Ontario. On Saturday September 6, 2020 at 2:20 p.m., OPP, Haldimand County Fire Services, Haldimand County paramedics, and Six Nations paramedics responded to Highway 6 between First Line and Second Line after an off duty firefighter reported they observed two vehicles that had been involved in a serious headon collision. Haldimand County Fire Services needed to extricate two occupants in each of the involved vehicles, a black sedan and a beige minivan. The 66-year-old driver, from Brampton, Ontario, in the beige minivan was transported to an out of town hospital via Air Ornge Ambulance with life threatening injuries. The 66-year-old passenger, from Bramp-
ton, Ontario in the beige minivan was transported to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. The 21-year-old driver and 23-year-old passenger of the black sedan, both from Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, were transported to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Investigation, thus far, has determined the black sedan was travelling south bound on Highway 6 when, for unknown reasons, the vehicle crossed into the north bound lane and struck the north bound beige minivan. OPP Technical Collision Investigators (TCI) attended the scene and are assisting with the investigation. Highway 6 was closed between First Line and Second Line for approximately six hours while investigators and emergency crews were on scene. OPP continue to investigate and is asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who may have any information to assist with the investigation to contact them at 1-888-310-1122.

Iroquois Nationals admitted to World Games STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
The Iroquois Nationals will be able to compete in the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Ala. Organizers of the multisport event announced on Sunday that the Iroquois had accepted an invitation to compete in the eight-team men's lacrosse tournament. The inclusion of the Iroquois Nationals was partly made possible by Ireland voluntarily withdrawing its
team from the tournament. A boycott threatened by some of the best lacrosse players in the world in support of the Iroquois team will no longer be necessary. The dispute came to a head in late July when the Iroquois Nationals made it public that they had not been invited to the World Games. The Haudenosaunee — a group that includes the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora First Nations — are also known as the Iroquois or the Six Nations
and are primarily located in New York, Ontario and Quebec. The Haudenosaunee invented lacrosse centuries before Europeans arrived in North America and in recognition of that contribution they participate in international lacrosse as an independent team, the Iroquois Nationals. World Lacrosse is pushing to be included in the Olympics and, to help build its case, has started participating in the World Games, a smaller multisport event. The Iroquois Nationals
men's field team is ranked third in the world and their indoor team is second and had assumed it would be participating in the event based on its standing in international lacrosse competitions. Rex Lyons, a member of the Iroquois Nationals' organizing committee, said he learned about his organization's exclusion from the World Games when a convenor from another national lacrosse organization forwarded him an email from World Lacrosse inviting the rival country to the Games.

VICTORIA — The British Columbia government is working with the B.C. First Nations Justice Council to determine the locations for new Indigenous justice centres across the province. In a statement, Attorney General David Eby says Indigenous people have been over-represented in the criminal justice system for too long. He says the centres will help them navigate the system and offer culturally appropriate supports. Such centres have already opened in Merritt, Prince George and Prince Rupert, with 12 more planned in the next
five years as part of B.C.'s broader First Nations justice strategy launched this year. Services include legal advice and representation, advocacy and support in dealing with agencies such as police and the Ministry of Children and Family Development, referrals to other services, such as counselling or employment support, and restorative justice options. Douglas White III, chair of the First Nations Justice Council, says he expects the centres to make a significant difference when it comes to Indigenous experiences with the justice system. ``We are driven by the idea of justice through self-determination,'' White said in the news release.
``Our model is to ensure the Indigenous justice centres reflect the priorities and unique needs of First Nations in each respective region.'' The province's First Nations justice strategy sets out the dual goals of reforming the existing justice system and transforming it through the rebuilding of Indigenous justice system. According to the strategy, it was developed with the vision it ``must achieve a 180-degree shift from the current reality of First Nations people,'' who are not only over-represented in the criminal justice system, but who are also under-represented among people with roles and responsibilities within it.

George Washington professor's racial hoax claim stokes anger CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
WASHINGTON - George Washington University is investigating the case of a history professor who allegedly admitted to fraudulently pretending to be a Black woman for her entire career, and said Friday that she will not be teaching her classes this semester. In a blog post that has gained international attention, a writer claiming to be Jessica Krug, a GW associate professor of history, writes that she is in fact a white Jewish woman from suburban Kansas City. The writer claims she has lived most of her adult life ``under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness.'' Krug did not respond to a request on her blog page for comment.
In a statement released Friday night, University Provost Brian Blake and Dean Paul Wahlbeck wrote: ``Dr. Krug will not be teaching her classes this semester. We are working on developing a number of options for students in those classes, which will be communicated to affected students as soon as possible.'' The blog post attributed to Klug expresses deep remorse, calling the deception ``the very epitome of violence, of thievery and appropriation.'' The writer blames ``unaddressed mental health demons'' dating back to childhood and says she frequently thought of confessing the deception, ``but my cowardice was always more powerful than my ethics.'' Krug's biography on the GW website lists imperialism and colonialism and African-American history among her areas of expertise. Her writings centre heavily on issues of African

culture and diaspora. The post caused an immediate furor on social media, with Black academics, writers and activists recalling their interactions with Krug. Hari Ziyad, editor of the online publication RaceBatr, which had published Krug's writings, wrote on Twitter that Krug had confirmed the details of the blog post to him in a phone call Thursday morning. He described Krug as ``someone I called a friend up until this morning when she gave me a call admitting to everything written here.'' Ziyad wrote that Krug claimed to be Afro-Caribbean from the Bronx. He said he had defended Krug in the past against suspicious colleagues. In retrospect, he recalls clues to the deception including her ``clearly inexpert salsa dancing'' and ``awful New York accent.'' Krug's public persona comes across in a video testimony to a New York City Council hearing on gentrification from June.

8 tips to support Grade 1 readers at home By Gloria Ramirez, Associate Professor of Education, Thompson Rivers University Learning to read is one of the most important skills and strongest predictors of success. Studies show that children who develop strong reading skills are more successful in school, more likely go to university and more likely to achieve a high quality of life. Teaching children how to read is primarily a teacher's job, but parents play a valuable role. Reading for pleasure is a stronger determinant of academic success than social and economic background. It's critical that children think of reading as a pleasant activity, so they develop the habit of reading for pleasure. To achieve this, parents can help provide pleasurable early encounters with reading. Unlike teachers, who receive extensive training, parents are typically unprepared to support their children's reading development. Not surprisingly, some parents find the task daunting and stressful. This is particularly true in the beginning stages when children are just learning to ``crack the code'' of how written lan-
guage relates to speaking, and reading is laborious. Nurturing a child's shared enjoyment of language is important for laying a groundwork for reading — this starts from birth onwards, with activities that include talking with children and sharing word play or songs and reading to them. In kindergarten, children continue to expand their vocabulary. They develop an appreciation of rhymes, syllables and individual sounds in words, which lays the foundations for reading. Direct reading instruction and home reading programs typically begin in Grade 1. Common mistakes to avoid Common mistakes that create frustration and make reading unpleasant for children include: Over-relying on the sound-it-out strategy. When a child stumbles with a word, almost instinctively, adults often say: ``Just sound it out!'' Indeed, many words can be read this way, however you cannot always match each letter to a sound, for example: the words ``where'' and ``two.'' Such words are among the commonly used words that students must learn to recognize by sight through
visual memory. Covering the pictures. Parents may think that using the pictures is cheating, so may want to cover them. This takes away important information that helps reading. Correcting every mistake. When children misread, skip a word, guess or take too long, many parents jump in too quickly and too often to correct them. Over-correcting erodes readers' confidence and makes the experience painful. Always expecting the child to be the one doing the reading. Usually, parents expect the child to read to them. This can be tiring and frustrating for both parties. It is fine to read to the child first. It builds their confidence and makes the experience of reading more pleasurable.
Acting Ontario Regional Chief of the Chiefs of Ontario, Alvin Fiddler, said in a statement over the weekend that distrust between First Nations and authorities continues to exist as a result of unaddressed inequality that the crisis highlighted. In particular, Fiddler says the government has not taken seriously the
Build a positive experience Here are some tips on how parents can help their child develop strong reading skills and keep home reading a fun and positive experience. Use the book's pictures and illustrations. It's not cheating to look at the pictures first and talk about what you see before trying to read the words. The
pictures give clues to the words. Read to your child often. Read to your children for as much time as they are interested. To expand their knowledge of the world and their vocabulary, read books that are at a higher level than they can read. When they see you reading, they will want to read too. To read independently and with understanding children must know about 95 per cent of the words. Help your child choose ``just right'' books. Easy books are good! If the book is too hard, your child may get frustrated and begin to dislike reading. If your child chooses a book that is too hard, read it to them or with them, so they can still enjoy the story. Warm up the book. This means before reading a book with your child, consider the book together: read aloud the title, talk about the topic, look at the pictures and talk about what you see, predict what might happen or explain the meaning of difficult words. Include non-fiction or science/fact books. Warm up these books using the K-W-L strategy (know, wonder and learn). For example, if your child chooses a book about owls, ask them
what they already know about owls, and share what you know too. Then ask what they wonder or want to know about owls, and share something you wonder about too. After you have read, talk about some of the new things you have learned about owls. Handle reading mistakes in a positive way. Not every mistake needs to be corrected. If the mistake does not change the meaning of the text, let it go. If your child says ``house'' for home, even ``bunny'' for rabbit, let it go, for the sake of fluency, comprehension and enjoyment. If what they are reading does not make sense, or the meaning has changed, you need to intervene, but first pause and wait a few seconds to give them time to self correct. If they do, praise them. If they carry on reading, prompt them. Use effective prompts. For example, these are good questions to ask: Does that make sense? Does that sound right? Does that word look right? Or, if the sentence reads: ``The boy rode the horse,'' but your child reads, ``The boy rode the house,'' pause to see if your child self-corrects. If they don't, ask: ``Does that make sense? He rode the house? Look at each letter
in the word.'' Or, supposing your child reads, ``The boy roped the horse.'' Pause first, then point at ``rode'' say: ``Let's look at this word carefully. Does this word look like roped?'' Bring attention to words within words. Long words are challenging for novice readers. Suggest they look for small words within the big words. Break down the word into smaller chunks (words) they might know: for instance, ``play'' and ``ground'' in playground. Go back to those words later and talk about the meaning of the two chunks and how they together make another word. This builds vocabulary knowledge and will serve them well in later grades when encountering complex academic words that typically have several chunks of meaning (for example, biodiversity, electromagnetic, internationalization). Most kindergarteners and Grade 1 children are excited about learning to read, but by Grade 3 many have become reluctant readers and begin to fall behind. Our hope is that these tips help to reverse these trends and all children become lifelong readers, because reading is a path to success and wisdom.
results of the Ipperwash Inquiry — an investigation that was started after protester Dudley George was shot and killed by an Ontario Provincial Police sniper on Sept. 6, 1995. He also called upon non-Indigenous Canadians to learn about Indigenous history and to become educated on demonstrations such as the Ipperwash
crisis. ``We must know our own histories, our rights, and so must non-Indigenous people and government,'' the statement reads. ``It is difficult to respect what you cannot understand, and it is only through strong relationships, a willingness to learn, and education that we all may truly understand one
another.'' The crisis began on Labour Day — Sept. 4, 1995 — after members of the Chippewas Kettle and Stoney Point First Nation occupied Ipperwash Provincial Park in protest of nearby reserve land that was seized by the Canadian government during the Second World War to create a military base.
For two days, protesters and police faced off as authorities attempted to remove the occupiers from the park. During a confrontation on the final day, members of the OPP's tactical response unit opened fire on a group of protesters as they attempted to leave the park, killing George in the process.

But the Sept. 10-19 celebration of cinema still has some hot tickets in its trimmed-down slate, which will screen in a mixture of online and in-person screenings to suit COVID-19 protocols. Here are 10 titles the team at The Canadian Press is looking forward to: ``Ammonite'': Francis Lee's 19th-century love story starring Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan has been a darling of this year's festival circuit, previously landing spots at the pandemic-cancelled Cannes and Telluride events. It will finally get to screen at TIFF, where Winslet will also be among the honorees at the Tribute Awards. TIFF says the Oscar winner delivers one of the best performances of her career, playing a solitary paleontologist who falls into a romantic affair with a wealthy, grieving wife,
played by Ronan. ``Beans'': Mohawk filmmaker Tracey Deer mined her own experiences for her debut Canadian feature drama, about a 12-year-old Mohawk girl coming of age during the 1990 Oka Crisis. As Deer says on the EMA Films website, she was also 12 during the threemonth standoff between two Mohawk communities and government forces in Quebec. ``That summer I knew I wanted to become a filmmaker and vowed to one day tell this story,'' she says. It's a powerful premise from the co-creator of the APTN series ``Mohawk Girls,'' who will also be among the honorees at the TIFF Tribute Awards. ``Bruised'': Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry steps into the filmmaking ring and the boxing ring for her directorial debut. She's not only behind the camera but in front of it, playing a former mixed martial arts fighter struggling financially and trying to regain custody of her son in New Jersey. Adan Canto plays her boyfriend, who reignites her passion for the sport. Michelle Rosenfarb wrote
the film, which TIFF says is screening ``as a work in progress'' and is an ``assured debut feature.'' ``David Byrne's American Utopia'': Oscar-winning filmmaker Spike Lee and musician David Byrne are enough of a lure on their own. But together, they've created what TIFF organizers say is an up-to-the-minute, optimistic response to the protests against racial injustice. Lee filmed Byrne's 2019 Broadway show, in which the former Talking Heads frontman uses his music to address America's current divisions. The documentary concert will open TIFF. ``Inconvenient Indian'': Thomas King's 2012 non-fiction book ``The Inconvenient Indian'' was widely lauded for its look at how Indigenous people have been treated and represented _ or misrepresented _ throughout the ages. So hopes are high for this adaptation by Toronto-based Metis/Algonquin director Michelle Latimer. King narrates and appears in the film, which TIFF calls an ``essential documentary.'' Latimer is also at TIFF this
year with the series ``Trickster'' and is no doubt one to watch. ``Nomadland'': Twotime Oscar winner Frances McDormand appears poised for more awards glory for playing a broke widow who travels through the American West in an old van. Based on Jessica Bruder's 2017 non-fiction book, Chloe Zhao's drama has also been in demand on this year's festival circuit, landing spots at the Venice, Toronto, Telluride and New York film festivals. Festival programmers have been heralding the film, and Zhao's career is white-hot: Her last film was the 2017 drama ``The Rider,'' which won an award at Cannes, and she directs Marvel's upcoming superhero movie, ``The Eternals.'' ``No Ordinary Man'': In the 1940s and 1950s, jazz musician Billy Tipton was a fixture on the American nightclub circuit, crossing paths with icons including Liberace and Duke Ellington. Following his death in 1989, Tipton was outed as a transgender man, setting off a shameful media sensation that cast him as a
CELEBRATION OF NATIONS
swindler trying to make it in the music industry. In this Canadian documentary, directors Aisling Chin-Yee and Chase Joynt restore Tipton's cultural legacy with the help of a troupe of transgender artists. ``One Night in Miami'': Regina King already has an Oscar for acting but may be on her way to a nomination as a filmmaker for this much-anticipated feature directorial debut. The story is a fictionalized account of a pivotal 1964 meeting between boxer Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali), civil rights activist Malcolm X, singer Sam Cooke, and football player Jim Brown. The cast includes Kingsley Ben-Adir, Leslie Odom Jr., Eli Goree and Aldis Hodge. Writer Kemp Powers adapted the story from his own stage play. ``Shiva Baby'': Toronto-raised director Emma Seligman makes her feature debut with this coltish coming-of-age comedy set during the Jewish week-long mourning ceremony known as a shiva. Adapted from a short film Seligman made as an NYU student, the movie stars Rachel Sennott as Dan-
ielle, a soon-to-be college graduate harnessing her sexual empowerment for profit through an arrangement with an older man, played by Danny Deferrari. But when her sugar daddy and embittered ex-girlfriend both show up at a family shiva, Danielle is forced to contend with her duelling personas between prying questions from relatives about her future. ``76 Days'': Filmed in secrecy at hospitals in Wuhan, China, this observational documentary offers an unflinching look at the chaos that swept through the region as the city went into lockdown in the earliest days of COVID-19. In one moment, nurses band together to keep worried locals from stampeding into the hospital, while in another, an elderly man with dementia threatens to go home, even though he may be infected with the virus. Told without narration or interviews, the footage shot by two China-based filmmakers captures the panic and confusion thrust upon doctors as they fought an outbreak none of them yet understood.

'It is urgent:' Commissioner calls for Indigenous bodies to oversee police CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Aboriginal civilian groups that would oversee police actions are long past due in Canada, says a commissioner who served on the inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Michele Audette says it's been obvious for decades that the way police are held accountable is failing Indigenous people and other communities of colour. ``It is urgent, very urgent, that we have a
civilian body,'' Audette said in an interview with The Canadian Press from Montreal. For three years, Audette listened to testimony from Indigenous families and experts. She recalls stories about crime victims not being supported or families not taken seriously when a loved one disappeared. Some spoke about not knowing where to turn if they alleged police were the perpetrators of harm. The inquiry's final report was delivered to the federal government in June 2019. It included 231 ``calls for justice'' _ many
of which included police reform and increased oversight. It urged federal and provincial governments to establish Indigenous civilian bodies in all jurisdictions to oversee investigations into cases involving Indigenous people. Nothing happened, Audette said. A spokesman for Public Safety Canada, which is responsible for policing and police oversight, said the government is working to address the inquiry's report and there have been meetings with Indigenous leaders about Indigenous policing.
``While still early days, it can be expected that questions around effective civilian police oversight and the relationship between Canada's Indigenous population and police services will surface and will need to be carefully assessed as work progresses on this mandate commitment,'' Tim Warmington said in an email. Ian McLeod, a federal Justice Department spokesman who could not speak to police oversight specifically, said there is a lot more work to do when it comes to supporting Indigenous people.
``We will continue working with First Nations, Inuit and Metis people, and with provincial, territorial and municipal partners to respond to the (inquiry's) calls for justice,'' he said in an email. There are specialized services for Indigenous victims and the government also provides support to community-based programs and family liaison units, McLeod said. Audette said the tide has started to turn with rallies demanding police reform after the death of George Floyd, a Black man in the United States. A police officer trying to arrest Floyd knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes, even as Floyd said he couldn't breathe. There are many recent stories about Indigenous people dying during encounters with police. Three Indigenous people — Eishia Hudson, 16, Jason Collins, 36, and Stewart Andrews, 22 — were killed by Winnipeg officers over a 10-day span in April. The province's independent police watchdog is investigating. In Toronto, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, a 29-year-old Black-Indigenous woman, fell to her death from her balcony in May after police went to her apartment. Her family criticized Ontario's Special Investigation Unit for clearing the officers of wrongdoing and its finding of no ``overt racism'' in their actions. Of that unit's 52 investigators, two are Indigenous and three are Black. In June, two Indigenous people died in encounters with police in New Brunswick, including 26-year-old Chantel Moore, who was shot after officers were called to do a wellness check. Quebec's independent investigation
unit was brought in to look at the circumstances of Moore's death. Not a single investigator in that unit is Indigenous. Audette said it shows the need for Indigenous oversight of such investigations. ``Even if you are a good person, it's just the structure, the culture and ? systemic discrimination or racism,'' she said. ``Let's break this by having a civilian body.'' Grand Chief Arlen Dumas of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs said First Nations people in his province have been calling for reform for decades. He pointed to the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry, which investigated the brutal murder of Helen Betty Osborne near The Pas in 1971 and the fatal Winnipeg police shooting of John Joseph Harper in 1988. The shooting of Harper was originally ruled an accident, but the inquiry said the officer used excessive force. No one was convicted in Osborne's death for 16 years. It was concluded that the most significant factors prolonging the young Cree woman's case were racism, sexism and indifference of white people. ``Fundamentally, the missing piece is there is not enough of a political will and there's not enough of a desire for the institutions to truly address these issues,'' Dumas said. He said he must remain hopeful the current push for police reform will finally lead to action. ``The only recourse, really, is to have an independent objective First Nations perspective on oversight of these issues.''

Laughter is the best medicine and some of the gang makes sure they fill our house with it by telling stories and making memories. We can’t begin to name names for fear of forgetting someone, but know that every little thing that has been done for us has not gone unnoticed and it means more than you will ever know. Both of our families have been in our corner since the beginning of this battle and we have felt loved and supported then, but even more now and the days to come. Special thanks to Darcy, Caleb, Jarred and Roger, for holding down your fort so Casey, Corey and Carey can be with us 24/7. And to Jimmer for doing the hard labour us women can’t. To our grandchildren, Owen, Emma, Mel, Jacob and the great grandchildren Blake, Zayne, Alaia and Raiden, your “little” visits bring us so much joy. All our love, thanks again, CW and Toni

Reggie Leach is perhaps best remembered for his scoring exploits during the 1976 post season. Known as “The Riverton Rifle,” this Ojibwe winger, who was born in Riverton Manitoba, was playing for the Philadelphia Flyers when during the spring of 1976, he made playoff history. Following a strong regular season which saw Leach explode for a league leading and franchise best 61 goals, he didn’t slow down. Come playoff time he went on to create some post season magic as he scored 19 goals and 24 playoff points in winning the prestigious Conn Smythe Trophy for Most Valuable Player in the playoffs. Unfortunately, though, the Flyers who were the defending Stanley Cup champions fell short as they were eventually swept in the finals by the Montreal Canadiens. During that spring, the Flyers found themselves matched against the Toronto Maple Leafs in what turned out to be a momentum swinging quarter finals playoff series which went the full seven games. Leach, who was known for his quick accurate shot, led the team in scoring that series with six goals, 11 points along with a +8 plus/minus statistic. Continuing his scoring prowess Leach, who was
Hockey Hall of Famer Reggie Leach had a season to remember when in 1976 he set a franchise record when he scored 61 regular season goals for the Philadelphia Flyers. Later on that spring Leach, who was known as ‘The Riverton Rifle’ once again made history when he became only one of five players to ever win the Conn Smythe Trophy after their team lost in the finals.

playing on one of the NHL’s best line’s with captain Bobby Clarke and Bill Barber continued to be a major storyline that spring as he once again led the team offensively with nine goals and a +6 during the Flyers five game Semi-Finals playoffs series win against the Boston Bruins. Showing a flair for the dramatics, this feared goal scorer, who earlier broke the Flyers franchise record with a 61- goal regular season, once again put his name in the record books. On May 6th in Philadelphia at the Spectrum, Leach tied an NHL playoff record with a five -goal performance
during a 6-3 series clinching Game 5 win against the Bruins. “I was in the right place at the right time,” Leach said after that game. “Once you get going, you get all the confidence in the world. I started thinking after the first goal that all I had to do was shoot and I’d score.” Leach tied Toronto Maple Leafs captain Darryl Sittler’s record who ironically enough had his fivegoal game earlier that spring during quarter finals action against Leach’s Philadelphia Flyers. Also holding that record of five goals in a playoff game is Montreal Canadiens
finals, Leach added to his playoff scoring statistics as he once again led the team offensively with four goals, but it wasn’t enough as the defending Stanley Cup champs were officially swept by the Montreal Canadiens. In that playoff run, Leach also wrote history by scoring the most goals 19 in only 16 games. The record previously belonged to Lalonde who way back in 1919 scored 17 post season goals. Following the playoffs, Leach became the first Flyer and only one of five players to ever win the Conn Smythe Trophy on a team which lost in the finals. The other five were Roger Crozier (1966 Detroit Red Wings), Glenn Hall (1968 St. Louis Blues), Ron Hextall (1987 Philadelphia Flyers) and most recently Mighty Ducks of Anaheim goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere in 2003. In September, Leach scored a goal and had two points as he helped Team Canada win the 1976 Canada Cup. Without question, 1976 was a magical hockey season for “The Riverton Rifle” who made a real name for himself in the NHL in what was an eventual Hall of Fame 13 year career which was spent with the Boston Bruins, California Golden Seals, Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings.

Following an impressive playoff debut, the Florida Panthers have signed restricted free agent, defenceman Brady Keeper to a one- year, two- way contract. This 24- year-old, who in 2019 made history by becoming the first player from Pimicikamak Cree Nation in Manitoba to make the NHL, officially signed that deal on Monday, August 31st. During the Panthers recent Stanley Cup Qualifier Playoff Series against the New York Islanders, Keeper made his post season debut when in an eventual Game 2 loss, he logged 13:13 of ice time but ended up a minus one in an eventual 4-2 loss. This would be the only game he played in a best of five series which saw the Islanders win in four games. “I thought he had a good game today,” Panthers coach Joel Quenneville said. “I thought he had an excellent (exhibition) game against (the Tampa Bay Lightning) and he had a real good training camp. I think that was why he earned his spot.” Quenneville was referring to the mini- training

camp and exhibition tune up game prior to playoffs getting under way. Keeper, who is 6 foot 2, and 209 pounds, originally played at University of Maine before inking on March 18, 2019, a two-year entry level deal with the Panthers. Ten days later, on Friday, March 28th, Keeper realized that ultimate dream while making history by making his NHL debut in what was a 5-2 road win against the Ottawa Senators. “It’s a dream come true,” Keeper, who was undrafted said at the time. “I’ve got no words to explain how I feel. I’m just happy my parents and my whole family came down and got to see me play.” Meanwhile, it was an impressive debut as he logged 12:40 of ice time while impressing with some solid hits. This past season, after struggling in training camp, Keeper played in the American Hockey League for Springfield where he produced six goals and 18 points in 61 games. After signing the one year, two- way contract, Keeper, who has a huge rooting section from Pimicikamak Cree Nation, will be looking to win a spot next year on the Panthers roster.

Striving to end the campaign on a strong note, Brantford who only have a couple of games left, put up a strong battle when on Thursday, September 3rd at Cockshutt Park, they got some key hits but fell short by a 13-9 score against Kitchener. “Communicating well and hit the ball good,” Waite said referring to what the team did well against Kitchener. He also added, “We also scored runs.”

Playing first base Waite who bought a new glove that day proved flawless in catching a first
inning pop-up, but the Kitchener bats proved too much as they surged out to a 7-0 third inning
lead. Showing tremendous character Brantford rebounded with four third inning rounds but still had a steep hill to climb as they trailed 10-4 heading to the bottom of the fourth. “We’ve played hard all season,” Brantford manager David Roussy said. When talk turned to the play of Waite, Roussy was full of some strong praise. “He’s such a good leader. He’s had some great pitching outings and he is our best defensive player.” Showing a tremendous arm, Waite was his steady self as he moved from first base to pitcher
towards the end of the game. “Two seam curveballs, and slider,” Wait said about what kind of pitches he throws. When asked how fast he throws, there was no hesitation before the 11- year-old stated, “About 50 miles per hour.” Heading to the fourth inning, Waite made some noise with his bat as he slammed a single to right field before eventually scoring Brantford’s fifth run of the game. Riding the momentum, they would add four more runs but it wasn’t quite enough as they fell short against Kitchener.
