By Jim WindleSIX NATIONS

This coming Monday, November 12, is the sec-ond anniversary of the trag-ic suicide death of 12 year old Jewel Candice-Lin Mon-ture who succumbed to the

relentless cyber-bullying of some of her peers and, as strange as it may sound, even some adults who also got in on the attacks.

To commemorate the life

of her daughter, Janie Ja-mieson is fulfilling one of her daughter’s dreams, with what she is calling, Diyo’s (her nick-name)Closet, de-voted to giving Grade 8 graduates whose families may not be able to afford a nice dress or a good suit for

their sons or daughters to graduate in.

Jewel was a precocious, talented and beautiful young girl who was a champion tra-ditional dancer, and a bud-

ding actress when she fell victim to the vicious attacks of jealous people who, for whatever reason, were up-set by her success and her potential.

Jewel Candice-Lin Mon-ture was always a giving per-son, according to her mother.

“Just weeks before she died in 2010, rather than ask for expensive gifts for her birthday, she had sent out texts to people in my family telling my sister, her youngest auntie, ‘you’re making a spice cake with cream-cheese icing for my birthday,’” recalls Jamie-son. “Another one was to my nephew-in-law and she said she wanted to have a social and said ‘you’re get-ting singers together and I want you to bring them to

my birthday party social.’ She had a really clear plan of what she wanted to do for her 13th birthday, which was really a big event in her mind. Jewel wanted to collect food at the social as well for the food drive and donate it to the Six Nations Food Bank.”

It was a birthday she would never see.

According to her mom, Jewel was always a giv-ing spirit who immediately thought about others before herself.

“The other thing she want-ed to do is what I am doing now,” says Jamieson. “She wanted to collect formal-wear for local youth for their proms.”

But instead of gearing the clothing drive towards proms, Jamieson wanted to gear it towards Grade 8 grads, here at Six Nations and New Credit.

“With my daughter, it was her Grade 8 graduation that she wasn’t able to partici-pate in,” says Jamieson. “I know it’s a very harsh real-ity for many Native mothers. We have the highest suicide rate, nine times higher than

the national average, with so many of our families caught in this generational trauma and grief. I believe that con-tributes to the majority of our people being marginal-ized financially, so some-thing as basic as a grade 8 graduation or a prom will cause financial stress on our families. Some of our chil-dren can’t participate fully because of that.”

Jamieson wants to do whatever she can, in her daughter’s name and mem-ory, to make life just a lit-tle easier for impoverished Six Nations and New Credit families.

“I can’t see my daughter smile and reaching another milestone and be able to cel-ebrate with her, but what I am hoping for is that I can help some other families celebrate without as much stress,” Jamieson says. “I’m just hoping to make some people smile and help light-en their loads in my daugh-ter’s memory. Keeping her spirit alive and keeping her memory alive is imperative to my own healing.”

Jamieson is calling out for good quality, clean, and well

kept dress clothes for both boys and girls between the ages of around 12-14. She is also interested in ribbon shirts and ribbon dresses for Six Nations pre-teens who, like Jewel, wanted to grad-uate grade 8 in traditional regalia, rather than a party gown.

She is looking for shoes and accessories in good con-dition as well.

This Sunday, ironically, the kick-off of the Nation-al anti-bullying prevention awareness week, Diyo’s Closet will begin to fill with a collection of donated gar-ments at the Iroquois La-crosse Arena on Second Line Road, between 6:30 pm and 8 pm.

Brantford Native Housing on Colborne Street in Brant-ford is also collecting dona-tions of clothing or money to buy clothing between 10 am and 3 pm Mondays through Fridays until November 16th.

For more information or to drop donations off after these hours or on weekends, Janie can be reached in the evenings by phone at 905-929-4997.

With an overflowing gar-bage dump and an partially built garbage incinerator – and now a lawsuit to collect monies spent for that unfin-ished waste disposal system, Six Nations of the Grand has committed to another po-tential dark horse, spending $480,000 to have an innova-tive incinerator built by the end of January 2013.

But out of all the com-panies with bona fide cre-dentials out there selling waste-to-energy technolo-gy, Six Nations has settled for a company that insists it has the creds, but has not been able to sell just one of its innovative incinerators in Canada since John Kearns invented his Waste Disin-tegration System. Well, not until this year, when Six Na-tions decided to buy the tech-nology.

Since council made the announcement in early Sep-tember, in a scenario eerily reminiscent of dealings with EnEco System, the company that failed to build the origi-nally contracted incinerator, absolutely no work has been done towards the installation of the Disintegration System.

Nova Scotia based Ke-arns Waste Sciences Group Inc. (KWSGI) and its found-er, John Kearns, have been trying to sell the patented garbage burner that Kearns claims is state of the art, en-vironmentally friendly and non-polluting. Kearns also claims the incinerator can be run in a very affordable manner, and can eliminate the need for a landfill.

That’s the kind of claim that gets municipalities, desperately seeking ways to reduce the amount of waste that gets buried in a landfill, excited. But Six Nations of the Grand River is the only community in Canada will-ing to try out the technology. Other municipalities have taken a pass on the promise when Kearns failed to back up his claims with substanti-ated proof.

How Six Nations Elect-ed Council came to select Kearns’ disintegrater is not known, although an email from Kearns’ Vice President of Sales, Lowell Geddes reveals at least one or two members of Elected Coun-cil were advocating for the incinerator.

“Within a few short

months, the people of your community are going to have a front row seat to history, in being the first community to commercially use the tech-nology. And the Council, es-pecially a few members who had pushed so hard for this, should be congratulated for having the courage to do so,” wrote Geddes in an email.

Possibly one of those peo-ple was Elected Chief Wil-liam Montour, who describes Kearns as “an old friend of mine.” Montour said he met Kearns “when I was the RDG(regional director gen-eral, Aboriginal Affairs, At-lantic Region)back in ‘97, that’s when I first met him. His technology made sense, that’s why I supported it.”

It is known the relationship was a little deeper than that, with Elected Chief Montour helping Kearns successful-ly pitch his incinerator to the Region of Peel’s Waste Subcommittee in 2005. Ac-cording to the minutes for the meeting, dated March 24, 2005:

“John Kearns introduced Bill Montour, former six Na-tions Chief, and currently in private business looking at technologies to assist com-munities in dealing with waste. Bill Montour advised that the KDS system is a ro-tary burn which eliminates layered waste, and given the temperatures, destroys all known carcinogens and or-ganic waste. Given the high operating temperature, the KDS heat is good for such secondary operations as small greenhouses.”

In fact, Peel was the only municipality Kearns had ap-proached that was willing to give his system a trial, but Kearns did not act on the offer. Peel Region minutes from 2007 show the munic-

ipality wrote to Kearns to in-quire about his plans for the pilot after they had not heard from him for over a year. Ac-cording to those minutes, Kearns did not respond to the inquiry from Peel either.

Geddes has his own theo-ry as to why the disintegrater hasn’t taken off like hotcakes fresh off the griddle, saying in an email, “... the powers that be do everything they could to keep this technol-ogy from coming to market.”

Dan Montague is a man who believes Kearn’s in-cinerator “is one of the best ones in the world,” wanting to buy a small unit for his dead stock business. Mon-tague said he was going to buy a 10 ton incinerator from Kearns as a way to dis-pose of dead cattle in order to meet new regulations for mad cow disease. The plans fell flat, but Montague would buy an incinerator today if he could.

According to the Kearns company website, “As a re-sult of the ultra high operat-ing temperatures promoting total combustion, the KDS units can be used to elimi-nate used tires, and even toxic industrial wastes not suitable for landfills. It can handle medical waste of both human and animal origins; this would include bird car-casses associated with Ex-otic Newcastle Disease and cattle carcasses with Mad Cow Disease. Law enforce-ment is currently investi-gating the feasibility [sic] of destroying contraband, flares, smoke grenades, and even outdated ammunition! With minor modifications, it could even burn coal to produce electricity WITH-OUT the pollution problems linked to conventional power plants.”

Montague said Kearns ran out of money and could not finish building his incin-erator. Zoning bylaws were a problem too, as were re-quests for proof the incin-erator could meet emission standards. The tests Kearns had were “obsolete,” said Montague. “It was eight years old. They [City of Kawartha Lakes] wanted all new environmental test-ing done to upgrade it type of thing.”

Montague said Kearns “ran out of money,” and was unable to bring his test re-sults up to date. “For each of those tests is like a hundred thousand dollars. And you need about 15 of them.”

According to Montague, Kearns has been marketing his incinerator to develop-ing countries, and said said he heard one had been sold to El Salvador “because they don’t have any regulations down there, for testing for the environment, air quality, they don’t have any regula-

tions down there.”Tekawennake could not

confirm that claim, but was able to find evidence of Ke-arns’ cash flow difficulties through the government of Nova Scotia. In a cycle that started soon after the compa-ny was incorporated in 2003, Kearns repeatedly missed annual payments and lost its business registration certifi-cate, but later paid up what was owing to regain good standing. Kearns’ joint stock business registration was re-voked earlier this year, once again for non-payment of fees.

The company claims the incinerator was tested by an independent company, AMEC, and the report al-legedly backs all the claims Kearns makes about his in-vention. However, the com-pany would not provide Tekawennake with a copy of the report, although Ged-des promised to bring a copy to Six Nations for the sched-uled community information

meeting about the incinera-tor.

Geddes said the compa-ny only wants to deal with facts, but did not explain he would not provide a copy of AMEC’s report.

The information meeting, originally scheduled for No-vember 6, was rescheduled for November 15, 2012. Ac-cording to an email from District Four Elected Coun-cillor Wray Maracle, KWS-GI’s “Marketing people wanted more time to prepare for the Community Meeting. They felt their information they currently have is not enough to properly inform the Six Nations.”

Tekawennake made many requests for an interview with John Kearns. There was a vague promise that, time permitting, Kearns and Ged-des might be able to meet with Teka in between other meetings scheduled for that day, but Geddes refused to make a firm commitment for an interview.

A Six Nations woman who purchased a home and lot located on the Johnson Tract in Brantford did not get the support she hoped for from Elected Council over her refusal to pay taxes for a property under a land claim.

The Johnson Tract con-sists of 7,000 acres sold by the Crown without any agreement from Six Nations or compensation to Six Na-tions for the sale. Elected Council filed a claim for the Tract in 1989, and later filed a court case over the land.

Lisa VanEvery appeared at council’s Committee of the Whole meeting Monday morning asking for support after a similar attempt to secure the help of Elected Chief William Montour was unsuccessful.

VanEvery told the Com-mittee she should not have to pay property taxes on her property because it is part of an unresolved land claim, and said Elected Council had a responsibility “to sup-port me in my fight.”

District Four Council-lor Helen Miller pointed out, “You bought the house a year ago. You knew you would have to pay tax.”

“I knew that,” responded VanEvery. “I also knew my great great grandfather was born on that land.”

“You can’t get it settled in one week,” shot back Mill-er. “We haven’t done it in 25 years. You’re going to lose your house for unpaid taxes.”

“Think like uncolonized people,” urged the obvious-ly frustrated VanEvery.

“I agree with what you’re asking. But there’s a pro-cess,” said Councillor Rog-er Jonathan (District Three). He said there were thou-sands of Six Nations peo-ple living on purchased land “up and down the tract,” and said the government would not waive tax payments for one Six Nations member. “Political process doesn’t move as fast as you would like. Someday we’ll ne-gotiate with Brantford for our people to live there tax free.”

“In the meantime, they keep sending bills,” said VanEvery. “Don’t we have a position?” She asked coun-cil to send a letter to Brant-ford every time they send

out a notice to pay taxes. “Say the land claim has been filed and say until it’s settled our people will not pay the tax.”

“I’ve got nieces and neph-ews living in town in the same situation,” said Coun-cillor Dave Hill (District One). “I tell them to tell the tax people the land claim is not settled.”

“That’s a good idea,” said VanEvery. “As Lon-nie [Bomberry, Director, Lands and Resources] says, they own us money and still haven’t paid it back. So why should I pay them and hope they’ll pay me back?”

District Two Councillor Carl Hill advocated council send out a monthly invoice “telling them what they owe on the Johnson Tract. May-be we need to move it along, pressure them. I think we should take a stronger po-sition.”

“I agree,” said Coun-cillor Ross Johnson (Dis-trict Three). “We’re getting pushed around by the city and the government. Let’s make some noise and sup-port this lady. She still has to pay taxes.”

“We sent a letter to the city,” said Councillor Ava Hill. She told VanEvery, “the City has to follow what the municipal board says,” suggesting VanEvery write to Municipal Affairs and the provincial government. “If you keep refusing to pay, eventually they’ll put a lien on it and sell it,” she warned.

But VanEvery wanted more than a letter. “I want us to stand up together and make a statement,” she said, reminding councillors of Caledonia.

“My concern is coun-cil can write a letter but it won’t stop you from getting kicked out of your house,” said Councillor Miller.

“Decolonize your mind, Helen,” rebutted VanEvery.

Miller warned that she would lose your house, “that’s what I’m concerned about.”

VanEvery said she wants council to write to the pro-vincial and federal govern-ments on her behalf, saying she won’t pay taxes until the land claim is settled. Coun-cillors Bob Johnson (Dis-trict Five), Ross Johnson, Dave Hill and Darryl Hill (District Five) all said they had no problem with send-ing a letter.

But Darryl Hill added, “I’m concerned with the repercussions legally.” He said if council wrote the letter and VanEvery was evicted for nonpayment of taxes anyway, she could sue council for losing her home.

“Yes, legal repercus-sions,” said VanEvery. “There are repercussions if you don’t support me. It will affect the land claim.”

Lonnie Bomberry, who was in the chambers at the time, advised council to ob-tain a legal opinion and re-minded council they were waiting for a legal decision to be handed down for the court case on the Johnson Tract.

“Of course our people liv-ing up and down the tract, they have to pay taxes,” not-ed Lonnie Bomberry. “It’s something we have to ex-pect until the court case is resolved.”

“How can you tell me to expect to pay taxes,” asked VanEvery. “For someone from council to give me that advice is not acceptable.”

With no flexibility on VanEvery’s part and the temperature in the room ris-ing, Helen Miller snapped, “You just want to get out of paying taxes.”

“That’s totally wrong. It’s about land rights,” said VanEvery.

After the Chief called for order, Councillor Lewis Staats (District One) tabled a motion to accept VanEv-ery’s request as information.

“I thought we were doing a letter,” asked VanEvery.

“There was no motion,” said Elected Chief William Montour. He continued with the vote on the motion, which carried.

Councillor Ava Hill ta-bled a motion for a letter to be written, specifying Lon-nie Bomberry should write the draft. That motion was seconded by Carl Hill.

Councillor Helen Miller insisted the motion should say council has no respon-sibility should VanEvery be evicted from her home, and Councillor Darryl Hill asked for a legal opinion.

The motion carried.Jan Longboat, who was

in the chamber to support VanEvery, took the floor. “I have a document, old coun-cil minutes, 100 years old in December that deals with a land claim,” she said. “The land was bought native-to-native but paid for out of our

capital funds. Capital funds belong to everybody,” she said.

“This is really, really sad what’s happening today, that this band council will not stand up for our rights,”

said Longboat.“Objection,” said Elected

Chief Montour. “What are you talking about?”

“Let’s fight for it, take a stand for it,” said Long-boat, referring to the John-

son Tract.Elected Chief Montour

told Longboat to stop, to no avail.

“Maybe you’re partly to

Following four days of tes-timony in pre-trial hearings at the Superior Courthouse in Brantford, on October 22nd, a Superior Court Judge ruled last week that he found there was sufficient evidence against Sgt. Tim Bomberry and Const. Marwood White to order the two to face trial on several charges including forcible entry, assault, and un-lawful confinement.

The charges stem from an incident which occurred January 10th, 2010. when a drunken Landon Curley was allegedly rustled out of his sleep, tasered and severely roughed up by the two Six Nations officers after they il-legally forced entry to a home on Second Line Road without a warrant. They were investi-gating a beating that had tak-en place earlier in New Credit in which a man was assaulted. Curley was arrested and tak-en to the Six Nations Police Station, detained and later re-leased without charges being laid against him.

Curley filed a complaint to the OPP who launched an in-vestigation into the incident, later resulting in charges against the two men. Bomber-ry is a 17-year veteran of the Six Nations Police Services and White has served 11 years in uniform.

According to the Notice of Application to Stay the Pro-ceedings filed by lawyers for Bomberry and White: “Four officers (two from the Six Na-tions Police Service and two from the OPP) conducted a joint investigation into the brutal assault of (a Six Na-tions Man) on January 10, 2010. In the course of this in-vestigation, all four officers entered a home at Six Na-tions, under exigent circum-stances and, in the course of maintaining the scene inside

the home, used a taser to con-trol one aggressive individual (Landon Curley). In the af-termath of that investigation, the individual who was con-trolled with the taser made a complaint to the OPP about the use of force. This com-plaint led the OPP to launch another investigation into the lawful use of the taser. This investigation was expanded to include an examination of the lawfulness of the entry by all four officers (including their own OPP officers) into the home that night. It is this second investigation that is it at issue in this Application.

“It is the Applicants’ posi-tion that the manner in which the investigation and prose-cution of the Applicants has been conducted thus far con-notes unfairness such that it contravenes the community’s basic sense of decency and fair play and thereby calls into question fundamental notions of justice and undermines the integrity of the judicial pro-cess. It is also an affront of constitutional magnitude to the rights of the individual accused.”

Both officers have been ac-cused in the past of unneces-sary brutality in the line of duty while making violent arrests, but were cleared of any wrongdoing after an OPP investigation.

This time, however, the OPP charged Bomberry and White following their inves-tigation of the incident. Both White and Bomberry have re-mained on active duty while facing their charges.

There are many extenuat-ing circumstances but spe-cific details of the incident as revealed in the hearing were put under a publicity ban by the judge who feared the de-tails presented in the pre-trial could possibly sway a jury when the case goes to trial.

No date has been set as yet for the trial.

The two are accused of forcible entry, assault, and unlawful confine-ment. After four days of pre-trial testimony, the court found there was sufficient evidence to proceed with a trial. The date is yet to be de-termined. (Photo by Jim Windle)

Either ohta or get off the potWe can’t help but be confused after watching Six Nations’ Lisa VanEvery mar-

ginalized and at times berated for her stance that the 7,000 acre Johnson Settlement has never legally been handed over to the City of Brantford or the County of Brant or anyone else for that matter. Until it has been proven, she is refusing to pay mu-nicipal tax on her home which is within that tract. She went to council to seek sup-port for her stand not only on behalf of herself, but anyone living on unceded land and expected to pay municipal taxes on it.

This is a land claim that was filed by the Elected Council more than 25 years ago without any movement towards a resolution of any kind since. But the debate goes back long before that, in fact about 150 years before that. This is a piece of land that is well documented by Confederacy minutes and government documents from the 1800’s up until the illegal takeover of 1924.

The Johnson Tract is also one of the claims that appears within the Six Nations Elected Council’s dusty litigation filed against the City of Brantford. Yet, when chal-lenged to stand up for it and pressure a response from the federals or the province, the Band Council saw no point at all in making that stand.

We know Brant or Brantford can not resolve land claims, but they certainly don’t mind approving developments and collecting taxes on the very land in question. To date, the only thing the Elected Council has done — beyond the litigation that ap-pears to have been abandoned — is to send a letter, objecting to the practice, which of course, has been ignored.

We were stunned to watch as VanEvery was made out to be the enemy by some councillors, Helen Miller more than the rest. A few councillors suggested they send another letter, but even that never made it the floor as a motion.

Elected Chief Bill Montour told her bluntly they have no jurisdiction over that land. Interesting.

So suddenly, Band Council admits it has no jurisdiction over land outside of what is known by Canada as I.R.#40.

Although that may be true in the eyes of the colonial government, it was shock-ing to hear it said so matter of factly by the Indian Act elected council made up of Haudenosaunee people. But the question also remains, do they have jurisdiction over any Haudenosaunee land, as most Confederacy advocates and Mohawk Work-ers have been saying since 1924.

We have heard Chief Montour publicly speak passionately about the preservation and protection of the Johnson Tract, but when push comes to shove, the only time we have seen this Band Council put feet under their position is when they mobilize against their own people as they did at the Water Treatment Plant and the protest over the Silo telecommunications tower at the old Number One School.

They blew off any challenges from VanEvery to stand up for their peoples’ rights rather than simply side with the settler government’s point of view on the matter. The only arguments against backing VanEvery were references to Canadian law, and the trouble that making such a statement might bring to them.

But perhaps the most graphic moment at Monday’s Council session was when Jan Longboat plucked the framed replica buckskin Haldimand Deed off the wall declaring that she might as well just take it home since council wasn’t doing any-thing with it.

Suddenly all the clap-trap about Six Nations’ rights, preservation and protection of unceded lands and the 28 land claims still before the government, all fell silent. There can only be two reasons for this.

Either the Elected Council really has no guts when faced with the opportunity to make a strong stand in support of its long standing sovereign status, or they have finally come to understand that, in fact, they have no jurisdiction over land.

If that is the case, VanEvery’s protest has already produced fruit. If not in Brant-ford, perhaps here at Six Nations.

Dear friends,In days, Nigeria’s Parliament could approve a $5 billion fine against giant oil polluter Shell

and set in motion a law that would hold oil companies to account for the first time ever. The President endorses the penalty, but Big Oil are lobbying MPs like crazy to vote against reform. Our voices can drown them out to win justice for Nigeria’s people. Join the urgent call now!

In days, Nigeria’s Parliament could approve a $5 billion fine against giant oil polluter Shell for a spill that devastated the lives of millions of people, and pass a law to hold all oil compa-nies to account for polluting and plundering. This is a watershed moment, but unless we all speak out, oil giants will crush it.

Finally, Big Oil is having to pay for the wasteland and violence that they’ve created. Presi-dent Jonathan supports the Shell fine, and progressive Senators are pushing for strong regula-tions, but oil companies are slick, and without huge international support MPs could buckle under the pressure.

Politicians are deciding their positions right now -- sign the urgent petition for the Nigerian Parliament to fine Shell and support the bill, and then forward this to everyone -- when we hit a million signers we’ll bring our unprecedented global call to the steps of Nigeria’s Parliament:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/make_shell_pay_b/?btwnudb&v=19065 Experts say that every year Big Oil spills as much crude into the Niger Delta as an Exxon

Valdez, but as it is Africa, it gets little media play. After a leak occurred at Shell’s Bonga oil facility last December, millions of gallons poured into the ocean and washed up on the densely populated coast -- resulting in one of the largest African oil spills ever. The fine and bill on the table are a once in a lifetime chance to stand up to Big Oil.

Oil companies have made $600 billion in the last 50 years in Nigeria, but locals don’t see the benefits. Their land, drinking water and fishing grounds are ruined. And Shell has spent hundreds of millions of dollars a year on security forces, repressing protest against its harmful practices.

The oil industry is crucial to the economy, but companies have never been held to account for the devastation of drilling. Now, the Nigerian President and a few brave MPs are speaking out and they could finally slam the oil giants with tough fines and give fair pay outs to the vic-tims. If we show MPs that the world supports these crucial steps, we can literally change the lives of millions. Click below to sign the urgent petition:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/make_shell_pay_b/?btwnudb&v=19065 Avaazers have stood up to Big Oil all over the world, from Chevron in Ecuador, to the oil spill

in the Gulf of Mexico, to ending fossil fuel subsidies at the Rio Summit. Now let’s do it for Ni-geria too. Make sure the politicians send a message to Big Oil: your days of impunity are over.

With hope and determination,

Pascal, Patricia, Alex, Ricken, David, Rewan, and the Avaaz team


By Christina JonathanVATICAN CITY

I am very grateful to be a Mohawk woman, represent-ing my community as Miss Six Nations, especially at the canonization of Kateri. This was my first time travelling overseas and it didn’t sink in that I was actually going un-til we were on our way to the airport. When we were wait-ing at the gate it was shock-ing to see that there were many other natives headed over with us. We met natives from Manitoba, New Bruns-wick, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. Some had beaded pins made, while oth-ers had t-shirts with Kateri’s picture on them. After the 9 hour flight, we had awhile until we had to check into our hotel rooms, so my mom and I decided to take a train to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was such a beautiful place. We had pizza in a lit-tle cafe beside the tower. The pizza is amazing!

Throughout the week, our group got to see the Vatican and Saint Peter’s Basilica, the Roman Forum, the Coliseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Pan-theon, and many more his-torical places. Our tour guide Christina was very nice, tell-ing us the background of ev-ery place we went. We found out that there are over 900 churches in Rome! On Fri-day night, I took my mom to the opera. I did not expect to have such a good time. The singers made the show hilarious. On Saturday, my mom, Cheryl and I took the four hour train ride to Ven-

ice. When we got there we were able to ride in a gondo-la. The young man serenad-ed us, while giving us a tour of the big and small canals. This city was built on water, so they do not have vehicles. Their mode of transportation around the city is by water, or walking. When we passed by the houses, they had garages for their boats!

Sunday, the day of the can-onization, we had to wake up at 5 am! We made our way to Saint Peter’s Basilica to wait for the gates to open at 8. I have never seen so many people in my life. Luckily, we were able to get seats to watch the ceremony. We lost some of our group in the crowd, so I asked some Navajo elders to take the seats we were sav-ing. We exchanged informa-tion with Marie, who’s from Arizona, and she wants to meet me down in Albuquer-que in April! The ceremony was wonderful. There were seven saints in total; St. Kat-eri Tekakwitha, St. Pedro Calungsod, St. Giovanni Battista Piamarta, St. Maria Carmer Sallés y Barangueras, St. Anne Schäffer, St. Mari-anne Cope, and St. Jacques Berthieu. We were given keepsake programs to help us follow along with the cer-emony. There were some parts of the ceremony that were said in the Saint’s na-tive language, imagine our surprise when we hear Mo-hawk. After the ceremony ended, I met many more peo-ple. Some from Akwesasne, Peru, Hawaii, Los Angeles, North Carolina, South Da-kota, Arizona, Mississippi, Switzerland, and Kanawake.

I am so thankful to have gone on this trip with Father Norm Casey, his group, and my mom. Everyone was so nice and made the trip mem-orable. I had such an amaz-ing time! I met so many wonderful people through-out this week, from all over the world. I cannot be more grateful for this opportunity to represent my community at this historic occasion.

This trip would not have been possible without the generous contributions from Nancy Tewishaw and Demon Hill, the Dreamcatcher Fund, the Six Nations Farmers, Six Nations Bingo Hall, and the Teka newspaper. I would also like to thank everyone who came out to the turkey shoot at Gunn’s place. Nya:weh for your support!

Students of the Six Na-tions Skaronhese’ko:wa Tsyohterakentko:wa Tsi Yontaweya’tahkwa – The Everlasting Tree School – ceremonially broke the ground to celebrate the new building that will accommo-date the students in a few months time. Each student and parent took a turn with the shovel, turning over a bit of the firm soil.

Students attend school in two yurts on private prop-erty on Second Line. In op-eration since June 2010, the school provides a holis-tic Waldorf education based in Kanyen’keha (Mohawk) and Onkwehonweneha (a traditional way of life).

The parents who found-ed The Everlasting Tree School found a strong simi-larity between Waldorf and Rotinonhson:ni, and have merged the two into an edu-cation system that meets the needs of Six Nations chil-dren. The Waldorf system rests heavily on experiential learning, and the school of-fers education that is based on the cycle of ceremonies.

The new school will be built on the grounds of the former Number 8 School, and it is anticipated the building will be ready for March 2013. The school’s board began discussing the use of the former school with Elected Council last year, and council agreed to the use of the land, which happens to border the land where the students current-ly attend school, owned by Scott Smith, the grandson of Oliver M. Smith.

Amy Bomberry, co-chair of the school’s Board said the yurts allow the approx-imately dozen students a close interaction with na-ture, and the yurts will still be used once the new school is built.

Building on the grounds of the former Number 8 School is meaningful for the school board, who said the students will be using the trails and woods that Oli-ver M. Smith once explored. Oliver M. Smith grew up to believe “in the importance of experiential learning and encouraging a hands-on re-lationship with nature.”

Mr. Smith, said the board in a press release, will clean

up the site of the former Number 8 School, and will provide the infrastructure needed for the new school.

While Six Nations steadi-ly proceeds with obtaining its child welfare designation for the second time, the new-ly appointed representative for Elected Council on the Brant CAS board attended the Monday meeting of coun-cil’s Committee of the Whole, warning of “resistance” to those plans.

Audrey Green Summers, a marriage and family thera-pist, told the Committee she had attended one meeting of the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) and one meeting of the Brant CAS board, and said the OACAS was work-ing to delay the establishment of band-run child welfare ser-

vices.“... There is a bit of a move-

ment provincially to have all First Nations who are seeking their own designation as wel-fare agencies to sort of move at the same time through the different stages,” said Sum-mers, introducing her con-cerns.

“It’s important that Six Nations have a voice at the provincial and the national level for CAS,” said Sum-mers. “We don’t necessarily have one. We have repre-sentation through the Native Child and Family Services organization, a very strong representative is at that table, but aside from that, we don’t necessarily have our own des-ignated voice at this table.”

She said having all First Nations move towards their

child welfare designation at the same time was a delay strategy to keep money back for established CAS agen-cies. “They can determine the pace and when and how they will fund the effort of our designations.” Summers said the OACAS influences gov-ernment decisions, but Six Nations could join the orga-nization and have a voice.

The Brant CAS would, predicted Summers, put up resistance to the Six Nations designation because the agen-cy is under pressure “to try to maintain their budget the way it is right now without having to give out any kind of pre-liminary funding and provi-sion or anything else to Six Nations in its predesignated stage ... So I can see some opposition is probably begin-ning to form but some of that is in the early stages.”

Elected Chief William Montour said he felt it was important to have Summers bring council up to date her-self. “I would suggest Brant-ford CAS is getting nervous” because obtaining designa-tion would “affect their bud-get.”

“This OACAS, when was that formed,” asked District Three Councillor Roger Jon-athan. “I’ve never heard of that.”

“I’m not sure,” answered Summers. “But from what

I’ve heard, there’s definitely been a director sitting there for a couple of years, so at least two years or more.” Ac-cording to the website for the OACAS, the organization will be celebrating its 100th anniversary on November 26, 2012. Of the 47 child wel-fare organizations that exist in Ontario, 45 belong to the OACAS – that includes Ab-original child welfare agen-cies.

“Are you telling me this OACAS is going to be look-ing at our proposal [for the child welfare designation] and say yes or no,” asked Jonathan. He later urged Elected Council find out if the OACAS had any legal authority over Six Nations.

“That’s a great question,” answered Summers. “The OACAS definitely have the ear of the Ministers in Toron-to, maybe higher and they are lobbying to get a seat on the review team that reviews all proposals.”

Before the meeting of the OACAS, said Summers, “the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs hadn’t even considered hav-ing Aboriginal representation to review the proposals [for child welfare designation]. So I would say yes, but and they probably would look to the OACAS for their Aboriginal representation, which is Kar-en Hill.” The Ontario Min-

istry of Children and Youth Services is responsible for approving child welfare des-ignations.

Summers said it was “ab-solutely critical” that Six Na-tions have a voice with the organizations representing child welfare agencies. Hill, she speculated, was moved to the OACAS “because of the political strategies.” Be-fore Hill had taken the newly created position of Aboriginal Services Director earlier this year, she was the Director of the Native Services Branch, which provides child welfare services to Six Nations for the

Brant CAS.Summers asked council for

guidance in her role but did not get any feedback.

Nearly 45 minutes after Summers began her report, the Committee asked Sum-mers to give her report to the Human Services Commit-tee, something District Two Councillor Ava Hill said the Elected Chief should have done initially.

Some sparks flew as the chief and Ava Hill argued briefly over the proper pro-cess for the report, which was accepted as information by the Committee.

Readers may remember that Saturday November 3 dawned crisp and clear, although clouds soon el-bowed their way across the sky. Clear, dry roads, a bit of sunshine and the prom-ise of potential snow carried on the cold breeze made for a perfect morning to check out the wares for sale at the annual Six Nations Crafts Sale.

Sure enough, other people were feeling it too, and they came out in droves to the three annual craft sales held at the Woodland Cultural Centre, J.C. Hill School and at the Six Nations Commu-nity Hall.

With handicrafts such as walking sticks; purses and

moccasins; stone and bone carvings; pottery; jewel-lery; baked goods; pre-serves; clothing; artwork and Christmas decorations, there was plenty to look at and to buy.

There were unique items, such as the stylish purses made out of recycled plas-tic bags made by Nancy Ann Laughing, but traditional crafts such as leather work, basketry and rattles were well represented.

Moses Lunham always takes a booth at the J.C. Hill school fair, as he has for the past four or five years. A talented artist, he brings his paintings to show and sell, travelling from Kettle Point to attend, following in the footsteps of his parents, who were crafters as well. “It’s good to get out and meet people,” said Moses.

He’s working on setting up a website to help promote his work because “right now people can only accidentally discover my work.”

Six Nations member Eva Williams had set up a booth at the Community Hall in support of the Six Nations Native Pageant. A leather worker for about 50 years, Eva makes moccasins and purses. Her daughter has learned from her, making some fine baby moccasins. Eva also makes jackets and dresses, but didn’t bring any to the Hall. “For me to be an encouragement to my chil-dren, to my grandchildren and great grandchildren, I have to live it with them,” she said.

Edith Styres started bead-ing about 18 years ago, and recently began making walking sticks. “I used to go

to as many craft shows and pow wows as I could, but

it’s getting to be too much,” she said. Her granddaugh-

ter is learning how to bead Continued on page 12

also decided to put on a craft sale, and four vendors were on hand, although the venue did not attract as much traf-fic as the other three had.

Iowne Anderson was sell-ing preserves she had made from her vegetable garden, and talked about a time when she was young, about

four or five years old, when her parents had difficulty feeding the children. It was the Depression and “here was no work for my father.” Her mother brought home a big bag of kidney beans, that sustained the family for a long time. Her inter-est in food self-sufficiency was sparked by that experi-ence, and reinforced by her time spent as a student at the Mush Hole.

Despite being unwell earlier this year, Iowne still made crab-apple butter and zucchini relish, tomato soup and much more, some of which she brought to sell at Kanata, along with some freshly made green tomato pie. Shoppers could buy unique dreamcatchers made by Nick, beaded leather pil-lows made by Lee Anne Davey, and original works of art at the sale.

The Iroquois Lacrosse Arena is hosting a craft sale on December 1, from 9 am

sale, to benefit Nova Vita. That takes place November 9 from 5 to 8 pm.

November Longhouse reportBy Jim WindleSIX NATIONS

The Haudenosaunee Con-federacy Chiefs Council met Saturday after canceling their last monthly meeting due to the death of a Faithkeeper.

On the agenda was a report to the council on the 1812 cer-emonies at Queenston Heights with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. A large solid silver medallion was presented to both the Confederacy and the Elected Band Council along with a commemorative flag as we reported last week.

Secretary Jock Hill in-formed the Chiefs that due to the fact they had not met for two months, an invitation from the Governor General to have a Chief or two from the Confederacy at the ceremony to receive the medallion was not responded to, and as a re-sult, historians Rick Hill and Keith Jamieson accepted the gifts on behalf of the Confed-eracy Chiefs.

“That was unfortunate,” said Jock Hill. “I wish we could have operated more ef-ficiently (on this matter).”

Jamieson told the Council his plans for the continuing celebrations into 2013.

Next up was a delegation from the Six Nations Farm-ers Association, represented by Jesse Porter.

He was seeking a renewal of the 5 year agreement he had gotten from the Confederacy to farm the Burtch lands.

He too was disappoint-ed that his request had gone months without being ad-dressed by the Council, which

meant the farmers had missed their opportunity for plant-ing winter wheat on the land while they waited an answer.

Porter explained the Asso-ciation’s desire to use profits generated by the Burtch crops to disburse to needs within the community.

He reported that in 2007, the first year, the crop pro-duced a total of $70,000 in profit with the province pay-ing for the seed, and other expenses put up by Porter himself. According to Porter, the $70,000 generated went to the Confederacy.

He reminded the Chiefs that without the government cov-ering the seed in season two, he came to them in 2008 ask-ing for $15,000 to cover half the cost of planting, which they provided, and were paid back in full.

There was not as much profit from season two with-out the government handling the seed costs.

In 2009 they arranged for their own funding and turned a modest $900 in profit.

2010, was a break even year as was 2011.

He reported that with the issue becoming a political football in 2012 with other interest involved and wanting their say, it was even harder to turn a profit in that politi-cal climate.

Things got a little heated when Mohawk Chief Allen MacNaughton took offense to a comment made by Porter in his presentation. Ononda-ga Chief Peter Skye continued where MacNaughton fin-ished off, questioning why

some of the farmers present and seeking a new agreement were noticed standing with the Elected Council and po-lice against the Confederacy when Chief Blake Bomberry arrived to remove the lock from the gate of the Water Treatment Plant in the sum-mer, after the Chiefs lock the gate over the weekend in pro-test over not being consulted in the process.

Porter was critical of the HDI at times as well and was reprimanded for his com-ments by the Chiefs.

But when things settled down, Porter also voiced his concerns over people destroy-ing crops by using the fields as a 4x4 track, tearing up a sig-nificant portion of plants and packing down the soil.

In the end, the farmers were told they could continue to plant on the land and bring reports to them, but only through the HDI.

“I see good things in what you are doing,” said Chief Skye. “But don’t come here criticizing the HDI.”

The HDI then offered a long report on what they have been up to since the council last met two months ago. Aar-on Detlor brought the Chiefs up to speed with their commu-nications with several energy projects including Samsung, NextEra, Niagara Wind En-ergy and others.

The common theme throughout his report was an unwilling buy the corpora-tions to enter into any agree-ment that would not include

blame for this,” Longboat told the Com-mittee. She strode over to the wall where a framed copy of the Haldimand Deed hangs in the chamber, taking it off the wall.

“As far as I’m concerned, if you don’t want to hold up the Haldimand Deed, I will.”

“That’s council property,” interjected Elected Chief Montour.

“This is our rights,” said Longboat.

“You’re out of order,” said Elected Chief Montour.

“Arrest me,” demanded Longboat. “I’ll fight until I die. I fight for my rights, I’m not afraid!”

After setting the Deed down, Long-boat and VanEvery left, and the room was plunged into sudden silence.

After taking a breath or two, the Elect-ed Chief directed the Committee to turn its attention to the minutes from October 15, 2012.

After this past week-end produced back-to-back wins, the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs have moved to within striking distance of frontrunners, the Cambridge Winterhawks who have played two more games than the Corvairs.

They will get the chance to close the gap further Tuesday night as the Cor-vairs shuffle off to Buffalo in the only GOJHL game of the night. Buffalo is in last place in the Golden Horse-shoe Conference with a 1-22 record. Results were unknown by deadline but the Corvairs were winning when we had to go to press and we will assume the Caledonia win.

This coming Saturday, Caledonia hosts the Port Colborne Pirates, also from the Golden Horseshoe Con-ference, for a 7:30 start at the Haldimand Arena.

Saturday night in Caledo-nia, the Corvairs handed the visiting Stratford Cullitons a 4-1 loss in front of stel-lar goaltending from Justis Husak.

Tyler Norrie put the Cor-vairs on the score-sheet first

at 8:40 assisted by Matt Quilty and Connor Murphy. Captain Mitch Brown made it a 2-0 game at 14:29 with assists going to Nate Mitton and Jeff Swift.

Quilty made good on a powerplay opportunity at 4:32 of the second period to push the Caledonia lead to 3-0. Murphy and Ryan Blunt added assists.

Stratford’s only goal of the game came at 6:48 of the middle period, but that would be all the Cullitons had to offer. Brandon Mon-tour iced the game with an empty-netter from Dalton Riley at 19:04.

Friday night the Corvairs had to come from behind to beat the Brampton Bombers 4-3 in Brampton.

After falling behind 3-1 after the first 20 minutes of action, Caledonia rallied with three unanswered goal in the second to take the one goal lead, and hung on through a scoreless third pe-riod to take the two points.

Scoring for Caledonia were Brier Jonathan, Steve Comegna, Tyler Norrie, and Connor Murphy. Earning as-sists were Dalton Riley (2), Fabrizio Ricci, Brandon Montour, Greg Christmas, and Matt Quilty.

The Six Nations’ Mens Hockey League season is under way and after three games early signs show the frontrunners to be the Sil-verhawks and the rejuvenat-ed and retooled Smoothtown Bruins.

Thursday night the two teams went head to head in a closely fought game that see-sawed to a 6-5 Silver-hawks win. It took an un-assisted shorthanded goal by Marty Hill with 3:20 re-maining to capture the vic-tory.

The Silverhawks scored first with Dean Hill do-

ing the honours assisted by Cory Bomberry, but the Bruins answered with an Ian Martin goal.

Smoothtown then took the lead with Jesse John-son’s goal scored four min-utes later assisted by Staats. Marty Hill tied the game for the Silverhawks at 2-2 be-fore the first period ended with Tim Bomberry collect-ing the assist on the play.

Tim Bomberry scored the Silverhawks’ go-ahead goal four minutes into the second period with Ryan Martin set-ting up the play. Solid goal-tending at both ends kept the score 3-2 throughout most of the middle frame before the Bruins tied it up again

with 1:20 remaining.That set up an exciting

end to end, third period with both teams hungry for the win.

Silverhawks’ Ryan Mar-tin scored early from Tim Bomberry and Marty Hill, but the Bruins fought back again with Marcus Elvin answering at the 4 minute mark. Jesse Johnson and Scott VanEvery assisted.

Ryan Martin scored his second of the period and second of the game at 7:40 of the third period to restore the Silverhawks precarious one goal lead, but the Bru-ins answered again to even the score at 5-5 with Aaron Jamieson and Marty Hill as-

sisting. It looked like the Bruins

might take advantage of a late penalty called against Murray Porter for slashing, but instead, it was the Sil-verhawks who got the break when Marty Hill lit up his second goal of the night with the shorthanded win-ner at 16:08.

The Silverhawks have al-ways been “Bush League” contenders, but the Bruins have struggled since joining the league. That is not the case this year. The Bruins have been surprising oppo-nents so far this season and, it would appear, will be giv-ing the Silverhawks all they can handle with several new players and a full bench.

“Over the summer the Bruins have added some

new guys and have really gotten good,” says league president “PeeWee” Green. “But we still need more players.” He said as he watched the Spoilers warm up with five skaters and a goalie.”

He encourages anyone who has been thinking about coming out Thursday nights to contact him at 519-445-2468.

In the second game of the night, the Spirits were defeated by a very short staffed Spoiler team who, despite having no subs and being fined by the league for not enough players, won in decisive fashion with a 7-2 clobbering of the fully staffed Spirits.

The two teams stayed close in the first two peri-

ods, but when you might think it would be the Spoil-ers who would run out of gas in the third, it was just the opposite as they scored 5 third period goals to take the win.

Scoring for the Spir-its were Stu Hill and Evan Sault with John Monture, a player only identified as JMO and Wayne VanEvery earning assists.

The Spoilers were led by two goal performances by Jake Hill, Jason Spurr, and Denis MacDonald, and a single by Dwayne (Dox-tator we think). 11 assists were also recorded by the Spoilers’ skaters, including two by Craig MacDonald, 3 by Dennis MacDonald, 3 by Spurr, one by Hill, and two by Doxtator.

The Allen Cup Hockey Sr. A schedule is only four games in, but already the Brantford Blast have served notice that they will be “in it to win it” as the saying goes.

The Blast are undefeat-ed after four games and are riding first place, two points ahead of second place Dun-das who have played one more game than Brantford.

This past weekend, the Blast knocked off the Oril-lia Tundras 7-2 Friday night in Orillia, followed by a 5-4 win Saturday night in Whitby against the legendary Whitby Dunlops.

Friday night, the Blast opened a 2-0 lead over the Tundras with a goal from Chris Rebernik converting on a powerplay at 4:50 with as-sists going to Mike Burgoyne and Scott Duncan. That was followed at 7:18 by Patrick Easter’s goal from Rebernik and Mike Roberto.

Jason Visser scored the only Orillia goal of the peri-od which saw Brantford out-shooting the Tundras 18-13.

The Blast continued taking it to Orillia in the second pe-

riod adding two more to open the period. Burgoyne and Ro-berto made it a 4-1 game be-fore Orillia’s Travis Fuller notched the Tundra’s second and last goal of the game on a powerplay at 13:21.

It was all Brantford in the third. Jamie Williams made good on a powerplay oppor-tunity at 4:14 from Burgoyne and Ryan Healy and Roberto scored a shorthander at 7:17 to make it 6-2 assisted by Burgoyne and Rebernik.

Patrick Easter put the cherry on top for the Blast at 18:34 from Kyle Zettler and Rebernik.

Brantford had a harder time against the Dunlops in Whitby the following night. Whitby was undefeated be-fore Saturday night’s game, and scored the first goal of the night.

The Blast tied the game at 11:57 thanks to Healy’s goal from Chad Spurr and Jeremy Bloomfield but a Brantford penalty resulted in the Dun-lops taking the lead back with a powerplay marker two min-utes later.

Greg Bullock and Spurr finished off the period for Brantford to take a 3-2 lead after 20 minutes of play.

Whitby accounted for both second period goals to take a 5-4 lead into the third period. Jon Jankus and Healy scored the only goals of the third period to secure the lead and keep their four game winning streak intact.

Think Pink. The Brantford Blast home opener was a special promotion dedicated to Breast Cancer research. The “Pink the Rink” promotion generated a total of 4,208 for the Canadian Cancer Society and asked that it be earmarked for breast cancer research.Team president and general manager Peter Ham is a cancer survivor himself. New Credit’s Cameron Sault, #9, is in the lineup this year after retiring from pro hockey and coming back home to settle down. He is impressed with the level of talent and the speed of the game.

It came as no real surprise to anyone when members of the Mohawk Workers, Six Nations citizens Floyd and Ruby Montour and anyone else fighting against the de-velopment of Tutela Heights by Walton International, were put under an injunc-tion prohibiting them from protesting in such a way as to slow down or stop the hous-ing project which is in the archaeological assessment phase.

With Neil Smitheman rep-resenting Walton and Justice Harrison Arrell on the bench, both of whom combined to stonewall an appeal of the the injunction Brantford placed on Six Nations land protectors, it was a forgone conclusion that those in op-position to the multinational corporation’s plans would not catch a break.

However, the strange thing about it all is that it is an in-junction in principle only at this point, as Arrell gave it his stamp of approval despite there being no terms, and no written injunction wordings to deal with.

“We still don’t know what to respond to,” said Mohawk Workers special assistant Ja-son Bowman. “The terms of the injunction were to be drawn up by Arrell and Smitheman later. We don’t know exactly what the judge ordered, but we still do not want them digging at the site.”

The Mohawk Workers have called upon the United Nations Special Rapporteur,

Prof. James Anaya to inter-vene in this and other matters of concern.

The Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, is an office set up by the UN in 2008 with a mandate to: 1) to promote good practices, including new laws, government pro-grams, and constructive agreements between indig-enous peoples and states, to implement international standards concerning the rights of indigenous peoples. 2) To report on the overall human rights situations of indigenous peoples in select-ed countries. 3) To address-es specific cases of alleged violations of the rights of indigenous peoples through communications with Gov-ernments and others. 4) To conduct or contribute to the-matic studies on topics of special importance regarding the promotion and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples.

The Special Rapporteur also undertakes efforts to follow-up on the recom-mendations included in his or his predecessor’s reports in relation to the foregoing areas of work. Additionally, he reports annually on his ac-tivities to the Human Rights Council.

In their application for intervention the Mohawks claim, “The Kanienkaha-gen people of the Mohawk Nation of the Ouse / Grand River Territory (as the Mo-hawk Workers) represent the ‘head’ and leaders of the League of Five Nations Con-federacy, and are trustees and protectors of the Haldimand

Proclamation of 1784.”The list of alleged per-

petrators of actions against the Mohawks in particular includes Bill Doherty of Walton Development and Management GP Ltd., Riv-erbend Asset Management Corporation, the County of Brant, the Province of On-tario, the County of Canada, and others to be named.

In their summary of events they allege: “On-going vio-lations of indigenous peo-ples’ rights over lands and natural resources, including dispossession and remov-al, lack of prior consulta-tion regarding development projects, and other transgres-sions including violations of treaty and human rights at Tutela Heights and else-where within the Haldimand (Ouse / Grand River Terri-tory).”

They also allege: “Ca-nadian federal and provin-cial legislation and policies have directly impacted the Kanienkahagen people of the Mohawk Nation of the Ouse / Grand River Territory as in-digenous peoples in ways set out within the attached pre-liminary synthesis of allega-tion information.”

Copies of the request for UN intervention have been sent to Governor General, the Attorney General, the Ministry of the Environment and the Minister of Culture, Ontario’s Private Security and Investigative Branch of the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Ser-vices.

“Our fear is that fur-ther disturbances, digging and disruption / corruption of

these sacred sites and other irreparable harm will be per-mitted to occur at the hands of the Ontario Superior Court and / or other Canadian enti-

ties notwithstanding our alle-gations and objections,’ says Mohawk special assistant to Bill Squire, Jason Bowman.

The Mohawks are now

waiting for both Arrell’s in-junction restrictions outline and a response from the UN before they make their next move.

ey,” said Sault about his first year playing in the Allen Cup Hockey League (ACH). “Its a different pace but there are smart players, mostly with pro-fessional or semi-profes-sional experience. We have a good team in Brantford with veteran guys up front like Chad Spurr and Healy. It’s good hockey and ex-actly what I am looking for right now.”

He says it’s pretty easy playing alongside guys who have pro experience and know exactly where to be and who know the game well.

When he was deciding where he wanted to play this year and settle down to a day job, he had heard a lot of good things about Brantford from Brad Jones, whom he played with in Wisconsin, and who later joined the Blast organiza-tion himself.

“He had nothing but good things to say,” says Sault. “Peter Ham gave me a call to let me know that he wanted me to be part of the team, so here I am.”

So far he is very im-pressed with the Blast management and immedi-ately took a liking to team president Peter Ham.

He also says that he likes the more realistic practice schedule in the Sr. loop as compared with being on the ice every day, as he has

for the past three seasons. This allows him to settle into a steady day job. He is used to playing a 60 game season and with the Blast he will will be playing a 24 game schedule.

Sault has earned a reg-ular shift, centering a line with experienced pro Chris Rebernik on the right wing, a player he knows well from playing against him for the past two seasons in semi-pro. Patrick Easter is on the left side, although

playing coach Mike Bur-goyne is trying others on the left wing as well, look-ing for the proper fit.

Unfortunately, a knee tweak kept Sault out of the lineup this past week-end, but he is healthy again and will be ready to go this week.

Sault invites anyone who has not given Sr. hockey a try recently to take another look. Especially with the NHL being shut down, it’s a great, and inexpensive,

way to get your hockey fix. And now even more affordable to Tekawenna-ke readers with the Cam Sault clip coupon on the front page banner. Clip that ad and bring it to the Civ-ic Centre Box office for a substantial family discount at the gate for Tekawenna-ke readers.

CLax draft lands pro jobs for several Six Nations playersCLax has added Bar-

rie to the league this year to bring the league total to seven teams. Other teams are Brampton Inferno, Dur-ham Turfdogs, Niagara Lock Monsters, Toronto Shooting Stars as well as the two 2012 CLax Finalists Iroquois Iron-men and Creators Cup Cham-pion Ohsweken Demons.

The Jr. B Rebels had 11 of the 91 players drafted Sun-day afternoon during the 15 rounds of the draft. Iroquois Ironmen and Ohsweken De-mons selected players for only the 1st eight rounds of

the draft. Both teams opted not to select from rounds 9 to 15.

Andrew Potter was tak-en 1st overall by Niagara (through a trade with Barrie) while Wenster Green was tak-en 6th overall by 2012 final-ists Iroquois Ironmen.

Defending Creators Cup Champion, Ohsweken De-mons took Joseph Haodais Maracle with their 1st round pick and 7th overall.

the ceding of land. Since some of the presenta-

tion given the chiefs involved what he considered to be sen-sitive information, Detlor said would send the Tekawennake a “sanitized” report on their activities. As of deadline, that report never arrived.

The bottom line in most, if not all of the negotiations (or talks) the HDI has had with these companies seems to be a situation of, “take what we are offering or not, the project is going with or without HDI approval.”

When asked by the Tekawennake what they would do if all of these com-panies simply ignored the HDI and proceeded without them, Detlor answered, “Our job is to enter into talks with these companies and report to them. It is still up to the Chiefs to de-cide what to do about it.”

Six Nations Health Services also created an excellent Halloween door display. Here, Maegan, Vicki and Kathy from Six Nations Health Finance show off their scary best. (Photograph by Stephanie Dearing).

With little pun’kins and ghouls, butterflies, comic book heroes and many other sketchy char-acters trundling through Iroquois Lodge Halloween Day, elders were kept busy handing out candy and scaring their little guests. Residents spent about 2 weeks creating their door display for the door design contest that encouraged Six Nations band departments to enter. Iroquois Lodge residents (above) put on an impressive scare, rattling some of the children. (Photograph by Stephanie Dearing).

Adding to the spine-tingling good time at GREAT in Ohsweken was a lunch time cos-tume contest. Competing for one free coffee a day, agencies with offices in the GREAT building as well as students dressed up for the contest. Pic-tured above is Stephanie Burnham, who works at the Joint Steward-ship Board office based in the GREAT building. (Photograph by Stepha-nie Dearing).

It's that time of year, the OPP, Haldimand Detachment are reminding drivers. Deer are moving about at night, and are more frequently seen on the roads, meaning there is a greater chance of a wild-life encounter of the unwanted kind.

“Deer and car conflicts can be disastrous,” wrote OPP spokesperson Mark Foster in a communique posted online. And that can “result in minor to major injuries as well as extensive property damage. With the drop in the temper-ature, the deer have become much more active, and drivers need to be much more alert.”

The OPP has provided some tips for drivers to help avoid unwanted collisions with deer:

If you see wildlife beside the road, SLOW DOWN, Sound the Horn, and Pass carefully, as their movements are unpredictable.

Use High beams where pos-sible and watch for glowing eyes of animals.

Never swerve suddenly as you could lose control of your vehicle, greatly increas-

ing your chance of a collision.If a wild animal is cross-

ing the road ahead, BRAKE FIRMLY if at all possible – never assume the animal will move out of the way.

Stop as Safely as possible if a wild animal is crossing the road. Often times if one ani-

mal crosses the road, others may follow.

If striking a wild animal cannot be avoided, be sure to stay in control.

Drive Defensively. This is your best tool in avoiding col-lisions whether it’s with a wild animal or otherwise.

Drivers are most likely to encounter deer on roads be-tween the hours of 5 am to 7 am and during the evenings between 5 pm to 11 pm, but remind motorists that deer do not follow a schedule, and a driver can encounter a deer at any time.

ARIES - MAR 21/ApR 20Wonderful things can happen when you

really don’t expect them, Aries. You may experience a pleasant surprise in the next several days, so be on the lookout for excitement.

TAURUS - ApR 21/MAy 21Taurus, you may have to juggle a few

events to get everything you want to have accomplished done by a certain date. It could prove to be a hairy few days.

GEMINI - MAy 22/JUN 21Now is the time to get serious about sav-

ing, Gemini. No matter how hard you wish it, you will not see extra money simply appear in your bank account un-less you put it there.

CANCER - JUN 22/JUl 22It could take a couple of attempts before

you reach the level of satisfaction you are seeking, Cancer. Patience is key whenever delving into uncharted wa-ters.

lEO - JUl 23/AUG 23Leo, a lot of things need to get done,

but you’re worried there simply isn’t enough time to clear your docket. You have to cut out some of the nonessen-tials for now.

VIRGO - AUG 24/SEpT 22Virgo, now might be the time for a perma-

nent change in scenery. Your finances might be ready for you to uproot and follow your heart to another locale.

lIBRA - SEpT 23/OCT 23Libra, you are ready to begin a big adven-

ture. There may be moments that are scary, but overall the experience will be a good one for you and anyone else involved.

SCORpIO - OCT 24/NOV 22Scorpio, although you like to step up to

a challenge, this week you really are not feeling like exerting yourself. Take some time to recuperate and build up renewed energy.

SAGITTARIUS - NOV 23/DEC 21Sagittarius, this week you may be called

to go above and beyond. As usual, you are ready to rise to the challenge. Take care to put your best effort into the task.

CApRICORN - DEC 22/JAN 20That monster vacation you have been

planning may have to be put on hold, Capricorn. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t take a few weekend jaunts to make up for it.

AQUARIUS - JAN 21/FEB 18Aquarius, the only way to recharge your

batteries this week is to plan a trip. There is nothing like a change of scen-ery to breathe new life into a situation.

pISCES - FEB 19/MAR 20When someone does not take your advice,

it can be easy to feel slighted. Don’t let it bother you, Pisces, as it’s beyond your control.

Ronald HessNov. 12, 2011

We thought of you with love today,But that is nothing new.We thought about you yesterday,And days before that too.

We think of you in silence,We often speak your name,All we have now are memories,And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,With which we will never part;God has you in his keep,We have you in our heart.

It broke our heart to lose you.But you didn’t go alone,For a part of us went with you…The day God took you home.
