The Six Nations community has reason to celebrate and feel strong pride following what was an exciting Virtual 2020 NLL draft. Six Nations lacrosse fans have proudly seen numerous homegrown sports talent get drafted in the first round: Cody Jamieson’s 2010 nod for the Rochester Knighthawks, Austin Staats in 2018 for the San Diego Seals and Brendan Bomberry in 2018 to the Georgia Swarm. Now, Marshall Powless can now be added into that elite list of names drafted during the Virtual 2020 NLL first round picks. Saskatchewan Rush selected Powless 7th overall. Support erupted across social media quickly appeared from fans, family and close friends on Six Nations congratulating this future NLL star. “I got a lot of messages from the community and other places. I really felt the love and felt like I made the community proud,” Powless said. “I was extremely excited. It was very special for me to go in the first round.” His older brother, Johnny Powless, made head-
Six Nations lacrosse player Marshall Powless recently achieved the ultimate goal of being drafted to play in the NLL. On Thursday, September 17th, Powless was with his family when he saw Saskatchewan Rush select him 7th overall in the draft.

lines in 2011 when he was selected fifth overall by the Rochester Knighthawks. The elder Powless would later go on to win an NLL title in his rookie year and three with Rochester by the time, he was 21 years old. During this year’s draft, Johnny Powless anxiously awaited with his brother and other family members to see where Marshall would end up. “I was excited for him. We had an idea on where he might go but to hear his name called to make it official was awesome,” Johnny Powless said. “I’ll always be there to help him out as much as possible with any questions he has.”
During a stellar Junior ‘B’ lacrosse career, Marshall Powless first made his mark with the Wallaceburg Red Devils where in 2018, he opened eyes and impressed by scoring 24 goals and 84 points in just 17 games that summer. The following year, Powless finished his Junior ‘B’ career with the Six Nations Rebels — making a statement with a league leading 54 goals and 151 points. Powless was the second highest playoff scorer with 15 goals and 82 points in helping the Rebels win the 2019 Ontario Junior ‘B’ Lacrosse League Championship. A few weeks later Powless would have a strong
Founders Cup tournament, as he produced 26 points (8 goals, 18 assists) in playing a major role helping the Rebels win a silver medal. Following that disappointment of not winning the Founders Cup, Powless was back on the lacrosse floor as he helped as an AP the Six Nations Rivermen win the 2019 Presidents Cup. With the Rivermen, Powless scored 21 points in 7 games as he ended up winning on a team which included his brother Johnny. Always one to proudly represent on the international stage, Powless starred in 2018 for the Iroquois Nationals where
he exploded for 17 points in 2 games, helping them win silver at the World Juniors Lacrosse Championships as they couldn’t quite beat Canada. After being selected in the Virtual NLL draft, Saskatchewan didn’t waste any time in reaching out to Powless. “They contacted me — said ‘Welcome to Saskatchewan’ and that they couldn’t wait to get my career started for the Rush. They plan on using me for offence and to learn and grow as a player. I’m so pumped I can’t wait to get started!” Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no definite start date for this coming season.

London police officer convicted in death of Debra Chrisjohn By TRT Staff A seasoned police officer who failed to provide medical help for an Indigenous woman following a deadly drug overdose will be spending the next 12 months in jail, a southern Ontario judge ruled Monday. The sentence against Const. Nicholas Doering comes nearly a year after he was deemed responsible for the death of Debra Chrisjohn, who died while in the London, Ont., police officer's custody in September 2016. Ontario Superior Court Justice Renee Pomerance convicted Doering of failing to provide the necessaries of life and criminal negligence causing death, saying at the time he was partially influenced by stereotypes about drug users when he failed to summon medical help for Chrisjohn and lied to fellow officers about her condition. In handing down her sentence on Monday, Pomerance said she strove to strike a balance between the non-custodial sentence sought by Doering's defence lawyer and the crown's request that the nine-year veteran of the city's police force spend up to two years in jail.
She said that while she had to account for what she described as Doering's evident remorse, his mental health and the increased restrictions he would face as an inmate due to COVID-19, time in custody was the only appropriate punishment for Chrisjohn's death. ``This case calls for a sentence of real jail,'' Pomerance wrote in her decision. ``Nothing short of that can reflect the gravity of the offences in this case. The sentence imposed by court must denounce, in the strongest terms, the conduct of the offender, and the resulting harm. It must reinforce the societal values that were breached: the sanctity of human life, the right of all persons to a minimum standard of care, and the duty of police to treat all persons in their custody with respect and humanity.'' Details of Chrisjohn's life and final hours emerged during Doering's October 2019 trial. Court heard Doering and another London police officer crossed paths with Chrisjohn in September 2016 after receiving numerous reports that an agitated woman was trying to enter cars and wandering into traffic. While arresting Chris-
john and communicating with fellow officers, Doering realized that the 39-year-old was wanted on an outstanding warrant issued by the Ontario Provincial Police. Pomerance said officers from both forces agreed to meet to transfer Chrisjohn into OPP custody, and Doering was assigned to drive her to a rendezvous with provincial officers. Court heard Chrisjohn was alert and conscious when Doering put her in the back of his cruiser. Before Doering drove off, court heard a paramedic observed Chrisjohn through the cruiser window but said any checks of her vital signs would likely be skewed due to the fact that she was high on methamphetamine. Over the next 45 minutes, court heard that Chrisjohn's condition deteriorated significantly. She went from sitting upright and talking to lying on her side while moaning and shaking. In summarizing Doering's testimony, Pomerance said the officer stopped the cruiser once, but only to ensure that Chrisjohn had not slipped out of her handcuffs. The gravity of Chrisjohn's condition became evident in a video prose-
cutors presented at trial, Pomerance wrote. She summarized the video as showing a limp, motionless Chrisjohn being dragged into the cells at an OPP detention centre. She was eventually taken to a hospital in St. Thomas, Ont., for treatment, but pronounced dead that evening. Court heard her death was caused by a heart attack related to a methamphetamine overdose. Pomerance ruled that more prompt medical attention could have saved Chrisjohn's life, and said Doering should have tried to obtain it for her. ``Const. Doering had pre-conceived notions about drug users and he held fast to those notions when dealing with Ms. Chrisjohn,'' she wrote when handing down her verdict, noting Indigenous women are particularly vulnerable to such stereotyping. Doering's lawyer, Lucas O'Hara, argued the officer has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from Chrisjohn's death and the ensuing trial. He contended jail time would take too much of a toll on Doering's mental health and he should face a conditional sentence instead.
While Pomerance described the public condemnation Doering has faced as a mitigating factor, she said his ``reckless disregard'' for Chrisjohn's well-being demanded a harsher sentence. ``The essence of culpability lies in Const. Doering's devaluation of Ms. Chrisjohn's life,'' she wrote. ``The sentence must convey the irrefutable message that Ms. Chrisjohn's life was valued and valuable.'' A statement issued by Doering's legal team announced he had launched an appeal of his convictions and laid out one of the issues it intends to raise when challenging his guilty verdict. ``It will be impossible to find a one-size fits all solution to the problem of engaging police officers in the assessment of the changing medical risks posed by intoxicated persons,'' it read. ``Best efforts to replace the discretion exercised by officers with an objective matrix of observations to direct their response will still suffer from a material risk of failure.'' London Police Chief Steve Williams said in a statement that Doering will be suspended with pay.

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations says they will reopen some of the outdoor sports facilities in Ohsweken as part of the Phase 2.5 of community reopening. “The opening of the outdoor facilities is a first phase for the Parks and Recreation Department to operate facilities during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Elected Council will continue to monitor the status of the Pandemic at Six Nations of the Grand River and will give consideration to approve a possible move to a second phase such as opening the Gaylord Powless Arena, if conditions allow,” said SNGR in a statement. Ohsweken’s Parks and Recreation facilities were closed to facilitate the COVID-19 Assessment Centre. Now the Sports Field, Running Track and Ball Hockey Rink in Ohsweken are reopening on September 28 for reserved use.
Participants can book the facilities on September 21 but must undergo COVID-19 screening before the booking is approved. “Community cooperation to abide by the COVID-19 protocols will be key to keep our community members safe and is a requirement to move from one phase to the next. If cooperation is not shown by community members, the decision to close the outdoor recreation facilities will happen and movement into the second phase may be delayed or retracted,” said SNGR. The Splash Pad and Softball Diamonds and Skate Park will remain closed. “The Skate Park will remain closed, because it promotes a high risk for community members to possibly be injured and Parks and Recreation would like to prevent this type of consequence during this COVID-19 Pandemic.” The Six Nations COVID-19 Information and Assessment Centre will continue to operate outside of the Six Nations Community Hall.

Chair of Grand River Pow Wow apologizes for letter By TRT Staff OHSWEKEN — The chairperson of the Grand River ‘Champion of Champions’ Pow Wow posted a letter online on Tuesday, apologizing for issuing a letter of support to convicted child sex offender Matt Myke, without the consent of the rest of the pow wow committee. Myke was arrested in 2016 and convicted in 2020 of repeatedly raping a child. The victim — an indigenous girl from the Oneida community near Green Bay, Wisconsin — was 13 at the time the attacks began. Myke was 28. Pow Wow committee chairperson Charlene
Bomberry wrote a letter to the courts in support of the now convicted Hayehe:s Matthew Joseph Myke ahead of his sentencing hearing. He was taken into custody in January 2020 following a jury trial that found him guilty of repeatedly raping a child. On September 4, Myke was sentenced to 20 years: 10 in state prison and 10 in extended custody in the state of Wisconsin. Bomberry’s letter to the courts cited Myke as a volunteer with the pow wow for the last 7 years. In another letter posted to the Grand River Pow Wow Facebook page, Bomberry writes: “This is in regard to the Character
Reference letter for Matt Myke. That letter was originally written on September 12, 2019 for his application into a program that he was registering for. “However, an err in judgement, on my part and my part alone, is that I did not get the letter reviewed and approved by the Grand River Pow Wow Committee. “I personally also gave permission for that same character reference to be used again by Matt Myke. “I, Charlene Bomberry, have personally apologized to the Grand River Pow Wow Committee for allowing that letter to go out without their knowledge and consent. “This in no way is a re-
fection on the Grand River Pow Wow nor the Grand River Pow Wow Committee as a whole” Some community members responded to the letter with calls for Bomberry to resign as chair and for a boycott to the Grand River Pow Wow because her initial September 12 letter of recommendation was written after Myke was facing child rape charges and the subsequent re-use of the same letter for the sentencing hearing was submitted after he was found guilty. TRT reached out to the Grand River Pow Wow Committee for comment but did not receive a response by press time.

Fort Erie Native Friendship Centre employee 'Inconvenient' wins TIFF By TRT Staff makers. apologizes for letter supporting child sex offender ``Would you ever think STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
FORT ERIE – The Fort Erie Native Friendship Centre issued an apology after learning one of their employees sent a letter of support on behalf of convicted child sex offender Matt Myke without their consent. A public statement from FENFC Executive Director Jennifer Dockstader says leadership at the centre was unaware of the letter, sent by FENFC’s Cultural Resource worker Edgar Rodriguez to Wisconsin Justice John P. Zakowski — suggesting Myke was a regular at the centre and would be welcome to return to leadership at the centre upon his release from prison. “We were horrified. We would never, ever have a convicted child rapist do any work, set foot in, or support in any way, this person to have any contact with any of our commu-
nity. We were completely unaware of this letter that was issued and in no way support any violence against our people. We stand with the victim of Matt Myke without question and need to make this clear,” writes Dockstader. On September 4, Myke was sentenced to 20 years total: 10 years in state prison along with an additional 10 years in extended supervision for repeatedly raping a child. He must complete 1000 hours of community service and can have no contact with the victim or anyone under the age of 18 and must submit DNA samples to the state’s sex offender registry. The letter to the courts, issued by Rodriguez, was fashioned on letterhead to appear that it was coming from the friendship centre. This was something the centre condemns. “We would never dishonour the trust our community places in us by supporting or allowing any abuser of women or children to be
involved with our Friendship Centre. We completely denounce the letter, and consider that letter that was issued by our employee to be fraudulent,” writes Dockstader. A second statement was issued by Edgar Rodriguez on Wednesday in a now deleted Facebook post to the FENFC’s social media account. In it, Rodriguez admitted that he sent the letter in support of Myke, who is his cousin — and asked the forgiveness of the Fort Erie Indigenous community. “I, Edgar Rodriguez, issued a letter in support to my cousin Matthew Myke in my capacity as Cultural Coordinator of the Fort Erie Native Friendship Centre. I was not authorized to do this and the FENFC had no prior knowledge of my intentions. I need to apologize for misleading community” wrote Rodriguez. “The statements I made in my letter of support were false. My cousin was never in attendance to the
TORONTO — Canadian filmmaker Michelle Latimer picked up two prizes for her documentary ``Inconvenient Indian.'' The TIFF awards closed the curtain on 10 days of cinematic celebration that unfolded in historic times as the pandemic left the winning filmmakers largely isolated at home to mark the occasion. But the distance didn't sour the moment for Latimer, who said she openly wept after learning her powerful reflection on the colonization of Indigenous peoples in North America won the People's Choice Documentary Award and the Amplify Voices Award for best Canadian feature film. One of the first people Latimer contacted was Mohawk filmmaker Tracey Deer, whose Oka Crisis-set drama ``Beans'' was also applauded by the festival. She said they shared the joy of their mutual recognition together, and reflected on the hope it could present for future Indigenous film-
FENFC in any capacity. I never intended my error in judgement to affect the community. I now understand I jeopardized the faith the FENFC organization and community has in me. I apologize to each and every one of you,” said Rodriguez. Sources at FENFC said that Rodriguez is no longer an employee at the centre. A job posting for the position he leaves behind was listed online. Rodriguez letter to the Wisconsin courts was one of 30 letters issued seeking Myke receive a lesser sentence for his child rape conviction, in part because he is a ceremonial leader and can speak the Cayuga language. Other notable authors include faith keepers in the Sour Springs and Seneca longhouses, an elementary school teacher from Oneida Nation of the Thames and the Pow Wow Committee for the Grand River Champion of Champions Pow Wow.
this would've happened in our lifetime?'' she recalled asking Deer in a text message. Latimer paused to wipe away more tears as she remembered the conversation. ``I'm just in shock,'' she added. ``The idea that, maybe, going forward other stories like this can be told, or other people could come up behind us, that's an amazing thing.'' The Metis/Algonquin director, who also premiered her upcoming CBC series ``Trickster'' at the festival, said she plans to split the $10,000 cash prize for the Amplify Voices award evenly between five emerging Indigenous artists in the fall. Deer's coming-of-age drama ``Beans'' was the second runner-up. Latimer's ``Inconvenient Indian'' was joined by two other winners for the Amplify Voices awards, which recognize feature films by under-represented filmmakers.

Attacks on Mi'kmaq fishing industry expose Canadian racism
Are Canadians outraged right now? Are Canadians watching targeted attacks on indigenous people with glee or with remorse? Currently the Mi’kmaq people are fighting from their boats over fishing rights. In the stolen territory now called Nova Scotia, the Mi’kmaq are defending their inherent and treaty right to fish without their partners – the federal crown. When the camera pans to Minister of Crown relations, Carolyn Bennett, she is busy posting her latest coup – a termination agreement with a twenty-year expiry date for Lake Babine First Nation. If anyone knows the tainted federal history and their treatment of First Nation Indigenous people, the Nisga’a people should be echoing in their thoughts. Canada has been built on a lie. It is that simple. The people who lived in this continent for millennia did not destroy their lands and waters in less than 500 years. No, this was the socalled “progress” inflicted by Europeans fleeing reli-
gious persecution, fleeing aristocratic rule and fleeing their bleak and brutish existence. The original people of this land have been welcoming and patient. They have continued to share land and resources and their original trust dollars to build a country that treats them with ridicule and hate. Canadians cannot fathom that their government would be so tyrannical. No. This only happens outside of Canada, and it is why Canada sends aid to countries dealing with despots. Wake up Canada. Your country is built on genocide and tyranny. Canadians then wring their hands, pooh-poohing this development saying, “Yes, yes but that is all historical, it was not MY doing”. Wrong. It is happening now. It is happening at the eastern door with Mi’kmaq fisherman fighting against non-First Nation boats who are willfully damaging lobster traps, firing flare guns and setting up lines of barrier boats to stop the Mi’kmaq from exercising a right that their people have always practiced. It is happening in the court systems. It is happening in the verdicts when a
young man can be killed by “misfire” at close range with his attacker exonerated. It is happening when a native woman can be killed after being hit with a trailer hitch and her attacker’s crime is downgraded to manslaughter. It is happening in the land fights where the RCMP or other policing agencies can move quickly to aid industry or non-native municipalities ignoring the century’s old wrongs in land dealings. When Canada is faced with truths, the standard phrase begins with a contrite Prime Minister furrowing his brow, stating that things have not been done well in the past, but in this era of reconciliation, the concerns of the Indigenous are paramount. What does this mean? It means that Justin Trudeau missed his calling as an actor. Those that cannot do, teach. Since Trudeau is no longer teaching drama, it follows that his acting is academy award worthy. Trudeau’s lies started in 2015 as he stated there was no relationship more important for Canada then the one with Indigenous people. Fast forward five years, and Trudeau is still trying to report that
“progress” is being made for Canada’s “indigenous people”. For one thing, Canada takes “ownership” of the Indigenous people as though they really own Indians like some drugstore novelty Indian displays. Trudeau is happy to boast the financial budgets in the billions so that all Canadians can see that money is being expended to right the historical wrongs. Canadians don’t see that Trudeau’s split of the Department of Indian Affairs into Crown relations and Indigenous services has doubled the bureaucracy so the dollars posted are actually keeping Canadians afloat with jobs in meting out poverty of the Indigenous people. In the announcements that First Nations are receiving land and dollars, Canadians do not understand that these figures are projections, in part based on these remote reserves creating viable own source revenue to complete Canada’s great termination experiment. If these reserves are without infrastructure – roads and institutions and capacity in their membership, how will this fantasy reconciliation be achieved? Is there some Minister of Wizardry
that brings the 500-year old Indigenous relationship equal to the Canadian living index in twenty years or less? Canada needs the raw truth. First Nation Indigenous people were thrown onto the worst agricultural lands or placed in remote areas so that they would die quickly and out of the way. This was not even fast enough for the Canadian government. Canada’s genocidal fail-safe plan was to remove Indigenous First Nations further if they required the land for “the greater good”. Canada also used their judicial arm to pass laws that limited First Nations inherent or treaty rights with complicated tests to disguise corporate favoritism again using the terminology of “the greater good”. Some Canadians are finally seeing that the greater good that First Nations are stewarding means the greater good for all global people – not just the corporate fat cats who buy their way to monopolies by contributing to political parties keeping the sham of Canadian democracy afloat. The First Nation Indigenous people are the
original stewards of the land, waters and life of this continent. They have come through centuries of genocide and remain to remind the newcomers that all people have to live within limits. The original people believed that to live a good life meant to live with peace and in harmony with all life. Look at the world. The greenhouse gases that have heated up the world are making the planet dryer and more susceptible to fires. The glaciers are melting and the oceans are rising. This reality is happening around all global people. Is it not time to listen to the voice of the Indigenous people? The Mi’kmaq are not only harvesting lobster or fish to have a “moderate existence”, they are also harvesting to give away and to have ceremonial feasts in their communities. These traditions and prayers are the connection that the Mi’kmaq maintain to respect the land and waters that feed their people, and all people. The question is not an economic question of who gets more. The question is can the original people maintain the relationship so that all will survive?
SAULNIERVILLE, N.S. — Indigenous and non-Indigenous fishermen are calling on the Canadian government to settle a lobster-fishing dispute following a weekend of tension during which lobster traps set by Mi'kmaq fishermen were removed in St. Marys Bay. A flotilla of non-Indigenous fishermen removed about 350 traps off the coast of southwestern Nova Scotia, Rhonda Knockwood,
director of operations for Sipekne'katik First Nation, said Monday. She said the federal government needs to clearly define the treaty rights of the Mi'kmaq people to earn a living off fishing. Sipekne'katik First Nation says its people have a treaty right to fish at any time. Non-Indigenous fishermen say the First Nation is illegally fishing off-season. Knockwood said in a
statement the tensions between the two groups is a culmination of years of frustration with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and ``their deliberate dithering and underhanded tactics surrounding the negotiations to define a moderate livelihood and implementation of the Treaties.'' Colin Sproul, president of the Bay of Fundy Inshore Fishermen's Association, said the action taken Sun-
day by the non-Indigenous fishermen was necessary to remove the ``illegal'' traps. He said the lobster-fishing season in St. Marys Bay doesn't start until the last Monday of November every year. Lobster fishing in the area is closed from May 31 until late November, Sproul explained in an interview Monday, to allow the crustaceans to safely mate during their reproductive period,
as the lobsters' shells moult and soften during this time. Indigenous groups say their right to fish off-season was confirmed in a Supreme Court of Canada case 21 years ago. Knockwood says the government of Canada has yet to create permanent policies in the region that reflect that decision. Sproul said Sunday's flotilla removed the traps under the watch of RCMP,
coast guard boats and police helicopters. He said his association respects Indigenous treaty rights but it doesn't think it's appropriate to fish off-season in a nursery ground such as St. Marys bay. The federal government, he said, needs to preserve law and order. He accused Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan of being unwilling to ``put conservation ahead of politics.''

Virtual Launch event for glamping cabins at Chiefswood By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS — The long awaited Grand Opening of the new cabins at Chiefswood Park was held via a virtual event on YouTube Tuesday morning. The event was moved to a video ribbon cutting ceremony and virtual tour due to uphold physical distancing recommendations surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. SNGRDC President Matt Jamieson gave introductory remarks thanking local workers for building the project, saying it was something that the community can be proud of. The cabins at Chiefswood are just one part of a revisioning for the park. An original 20 cabins were planned, however according to SNGRDC there were significant archeological finds beneath 5 of the proposed sites, so those cabin plans were scrapped and the park went instead with 15 cabins.

MESSAGE FROM SIX NATIONS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT Six Nations Justice Staff and volunteers are using their good minds in regards to the community’s current conflict concerning governance. We are continuing to promote peace building in our community through providing support to all those who have been victimized and those accused of crimes. We are a neutral community based organization funded by the Ministry of Attorney General, Indigenous Justice Unit, to provide services that are guided by principles of Haudenosaunee philosophy. We want the Six Nations community to know that we have made a strong commitment to service all community members who are seeking justice. Our focus is on helping Haudenosaunee and other Ongwehonweh people, we will support people on any path to justice whether in Canadian courts or accessing traditional government or community based approaches. We want to acknowledge that this is not an easy time. The history of colonization and trauma that has been caused means that the path forward towards self-determination is challenging. Nya:weh to everyone working passionately on healing and self-determination. We want to acknowledge the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Calls for Justice as a positive way to focus our thoughts and energies, particularly on the root cause of genocide: “human rights and Indigenous rights abuses and violations committed and condoned by the Canadian state.� Six Nations Justice recognizes and respects the inherent right of the Haudenosaunee to selfdetermination and self-governance. To be clear - our role is to support the people through justice related challenges and conflicts without interfering in the democratic processes that will determine what these rights mean to our community. We will be supporting community engagement about justice and self-determination through greater transparency and increased opportunities for learning and discussion. Six Nations Justice will be providing regular updates to the Six Nations Elected Council, the Haudenosaunee Chiefs Confederacy Council and Clan Mothers, and the people about our work. Also, we will be hosting on-going learning opportunities for the community about Haudenosaunee, Canadian and international law.

Allan Cup targeting a possible January re-start NEIL BECKER
neil@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
In early September, it was stated on the ACH website, that the Allan Cup Hockey League was targeting a possible January start. “I was pretty surprised to be honest,” Hamilton Steelhawks forward Cameron Sault said. “I thought the season would end up a wash but it seems the league might happen after all. I actually heard from one of my family members about the season possibly starting. The start of hockey season is always exciting, shortened or not.” Coming off a dominating 2019/2020 regular season, which saw Hamilton finish first, their quest for the Allan Cup picked up steam as they took the first two games in the Ontario finals against the Brantford Blast when things suddenly shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Leading the Ontario finals vs. Brantford two games to nothing, and having the season all of a sudden cancelled was tough to take,” Sault said. Sault, who used to play at one time for the Brantford Blast went on to add, “We had an Allan Cup
contender of a team for sure.” Reflecting on what would be a shortened season, a confident Sault added, “I think it’d be an advantage for a shortened season, especially for the players who are fresh off of playing professionally last season. It wouldn’t take our top end guys long to get rolling.” Addressing the possibility of hockey starting up in January, Sault admitted that it would be different in terms of preparation but that he would be very excited. However, Sault hasn’t decided if for sure he would be coming back if the season started. “I’m usually on the ice at least once a week during the summer but obviously that didn’t happen this year. So, it’ll be different getting back on skates and getting game-shape ready.” With so much unpredictability going on in 2020, all Senior AAA hockey fans can do now is wait to see if there will be Allan Cup hockey this year. “I haven’t made a definite decision yet about playing another season,” Sault said. “I guess I will see how I feel and make that decision when the time comes. I have a little bit longer to think about it.”

Just a Little Bit Golden Knights Zach Whitecloud suffers
Vegas Golden Knights rookie defenceman Zach Whitecloud’s quest to win a Stanley Cup came to a premature end following a heartbreaking 3-2 Game 5 loss against the Dallas Stars. Unfortunately, Whitecloud was in the penalty box when Dallas scored that series PHOTO BY ANDY DEVLIN winning power play goal.

Vegas Golden Knights defenceman Zach Whitecloud had quite the breakout playoff performance. In elevating his game, this rookie, 23, played 20 post-season games where he registered three points and 20 shots on goal. What really stood out during the playoffs was Whitecloud’s dominant play with his team shorthanded. Even though he came into the post-season with only 16 NHL games under his belt, Vegas coach Peter DeBoer never hesitated in having him on the ice fearlessly blocking shots on the penalty kill. During playoffs, he logged an average 3:18 on the penalty kill which ranked number one on
the Golden Knights, 20 seconds more than runner up in fellow defenceman Brayden McNabb. Finding themselves on quite a roll, Vegas began the post season marathon by defeating the Chicago Blackhawks in five games of a best of seven opening round series. Moving on, the Golden Knights next played the Vancouver Canucks whom they defeated in a full seven games to advance that much closer to achieving the ultimate dream of a Stanley Cup. Playing in the Western Conference Finals, the Golden Knights experienced heartbreak as Whitecloud’s dream of bringing the Cup back to Sioux Valley Dakota Nation came to an end when with the defenceman in the penalty box, Dallas scored a Game 5 overtime 3-2 series winning goal.
Prior to that, Whitecloud was whistled 2:15 into overtime for delay of game when he accidentally cleared the puck over the boards. “It’s a shitty situation,” Golden Knights forward Reilly Smith said about Whitecloud’s penalty. “He’s been a great player, a stand-up player for us this postseason. Things like that happen and they happen to anyone. Just unfortunate that it happened to him. This game didn’t come down to one play. The onus is on all of us.” Coming into playoffs, Whitecloud had only 16 NHL games under his belt where he had one assist and a +3 mark. Playing his usual physical style in post season, Whitecloud continued to block shots, and drew only three penalties, with that third being the one to
eventually eliminate Vegas from playoffs. “I just feel terrible for the kid. Such a shitty penalty to begin with,” Coach DeBoer said. “Not on him, but for that type of penalty to decide a game doesn’t make sense to me. For him, he’s got nothing to hang his head about. He played his ass off, he played big, played heavy and played big minutes for us. He’s got a bright future ahead of him.” Back on March 22, Vegas showed their full commitment to this impressive rookie by signing him to a two- year contract extension. Prior to being called up on January 31, Whitecloud was playing in the American Hockey League for the Chicago Wolves where he scored seven points (2 goals, 5 assists) in 35 games along with 18 penalty minutes.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Colborne Street (East) Slope Stabilization City of Brantford
The Project
The City of Brantford (the City) initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Schedule ‘C’ study (the Study) to address the slope stability along a portion of Colborne Street (East) adjacent to the Grand River. The study area encompassed approximately 1200 metres along Colborne Street between Linden Avenue and Johnson Road and included the embankment extending to the Grand River. Ecosystem Recovery Inc. had been retained by the City of Brantford to complete the study. The study identified alternatives to improve, manage or mitigate slope stability concerns in the study area. Through public consultation and a technical review of the alternatives, a preferred alternative solution was selected and concepts developed for this alternative to move towards a detailed design and construction phase of the project.
The Process
The study is being conducted in compliance with Schedule ‘C’ requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association “Municipal Class Environmental Assessment,” (October 2000, as amended 2007 & 2011) as approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Three (3) Public Information Centres (PICs) were held on September 13, 2018, March 12, 2019, and November 13, 2019. The final PIC reviewed the Environmental Assessment process, provided a complete characterization of the existing conditions in the study area, summarized the alternative solution selected, and presented the preferred alternative design to address the slope stability concerns along Colborne Street (East). The preferred alternative design includes rock protection for the toe of the slope at the Grand River, storm drainage systems at the top of the slope, slope drainage works to manage soil moisture, rock ballast to provide mechanical stabilization to the slope, and continued monitoring of the slope using LiDAR.
Project Report for Public Review
With the completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been be prepared and will be available for public and agency review on the City of Brantford website for a 45-day review period, starting from September 17th, 2020 and ending on November 1st, 2020. A hard copy will be available for viewing at the Brantford Public Library, Main Branch, at the location and times noted below.
