Six Nations has been in talks with Metrolinx to bring Go Bus service between Brantford and Six Nations by April 2025 at the latest.N Teresa Doolittle, project administrator with Six Nations Public Works, is the Six Nations representative meeting with Metrolinx and says they’re almost ready to bring the project to the Metrolinx board for approval.

A draft route has been mapped out, fares have been set, and safety concerns have been addressed.

A 45-foot Go Bus has even done a test route from Brantford through Six Nations to identify any concerns.

The Go Bus line 15 extension will come from Brantford and extend through Six Nations before

heading back to Brantford, with three loops a day of the draft route.

The bus will make four stops: one at the Community Hall, one at Second Line and Mohawk Road, one at the Oneida Business Park and one at the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations plaza on Hwy. 6.

The route will go back to Brantford at the city’s Go Bus terminal there.

Both the Six Nations fire and Six Nations police chiefs have been briefed, as well as the tenants at the Oneida Business Park.

The trip from Brantford to Six Nations would take about 30 minutes.

Doolittle said Six Nations has to make a decision and bring the plan to Metrolinx for approval.

“Metrolinx needs three months to finalize it.”

She said December was an ambitious timeline so it’s looking like the service won’t roll out until April 2025.

A trip to brantford would be $5.89 and a trip to Hamilton would be around $11.00.

Youth and students get about a 30 percent dis-

count and for seniors, the fare to Brantford is about $3.15.

Children 12 and under are free.

There will be three runs per day, seven days a week.

The runs will take place in the early morning, mid-morning and late afternoon.

Presto card holders can tap their cards for payment, or they can tap debit or credit cards.

Althugh being called a pilot project it’s a longterm commitment from Metrolinx, said Doolittle.

There will be a review in about 12 to 18 months.

There will be no shelters built during the pilot phase, said Doolittle.

Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Chief Sherri-lyn Hill said providing on-reserve bus transportation has been in the works for years.

‘It’s exciting to see where this takes us,” said Hill.

Chiefs will have to win West Nile virus without Staats JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

The Six Nations Chiefs Major Series Lacrosse Champions will have to go the rest of the season without their top scorer, Austin Staats. Staats was arrested Aug. 11, and faces several charges including assault, choking, threatening death following an altercation in Brantford.

Staats was leading the defending Six Nations Chiefs in scoring in the MSL finals but will not be available the rest of the series against Peterborough or the Mann Cup playoffs should the Chiefs win.

The charges against Staats could disrupt his up

coming professional NLL season with the San Diego Seals.

“We were recently made aware of an incident involving Austin Staats,” says a news release from San Diego. “We recognize the serious nature of the charges and we are taking it very seriously. It is currently with the authorities as they complete their investigation. We will not have any further comment at this time.”

The NLL also released a statement saying, “The league is aware of the reported charges against Austin Staats and is collecting more information on the matter. We will comment further at the appropriate time.”

The Canadian Press

Toronto's public health unit is reporting the city’s first probable human case of the West Nile virus this year.

Toronto Public Health says in a news release on Friday that an adult resident contracted the virus.

This is the fourth human case of West Nile virus in Ontario this year.

The West Nile virus can be transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito.

The infection symptoms usually start to show between two and 14 days after a person is bitten and may include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph glands.

Hamilton police seize gun at Winona Peach festival, search for suspects in assault and shootings CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

A man carrying a handgun with a high-capacity magazine was arrested at a Hamilton festival this weekend, police said Sunday, and officers are looking for suspects who later used a baseball bat to allegedly attack a man in a nearby parking lot.

Police said those two cases at and near the Winona Peach Festival on Saturday night came before two other shootings at a bar and a club in what police characterized as overnight violence in the city.

"We have to be joined in the fact that we cannot be comfortable with what happened over the last 24 hours," Insp. Jim Callender told a news conference Sunday.

Police say a "disturbance" broke out between two men at the festival and bystanders told officers one of them was armed. Callender said police used pepper spray and batons to disperse some in the crowd who were "attempting to impede or swarm in" on the officers trying to arrest the armed man.

Officers then arrested and charged a 23-year-old man, who was allegedly carrying a handgun, high-capacity magazine and ammunition.

"The actions of these officers that night at the Winona Peach Festival, they stopped what could have been a tragedy," Callender said.

About an hour later, at 10:30 p.m., police said officers were called to a parking lot near the festival where a 53-year-old man was allegedly being

attacked by four males with a baseball bat who fled the scene.

Hamilton police had previously said they were increasing their presence at the festival and several other fairs over the coming months. The

move came after what police had described as a "concerning uptick" in robberies and swarming incidents carried out by young people at several community festivals last summer.

Later Saturday and into

early Sunday morning, police responded to two separate shootings outside of a bar and a club.

Investigators continue to look for suspects in both shootings, Callender said.

Officers responded to the first shooting out-

side a bar around 11:45 p.m. The two injured men, a 20-year-old and a 28-year-old, were unco-operative and investigators had few details about what happened as of Sunday, Callender said.

Officers then responded

around 6 a.m. to a shooting outside a club. Two men and a woman, all in their 20s, were sent to hospital with serious injuries.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 25, 2024.

When the Chiefs ruled JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

Perusing through the millions of papers and communications between Six Nations Chiefs Council and Canada, Britain and even Brantford, is a time consuming treasure hunt through history. It is also a fascination, especially when you catch a glimpse into the life and times of the Six Nations community in years past.

One set of files in particular offers an insight into what the Chiefs Council had on its plate during the years before the 1924 take over by the RCMP and the installation of the Elective Council.

It wasn’t always about petitions and complaints.

Even every day expenses had to be carefully recorded and because of that we can peer into the more mundane, co-operative lives of the ancestors of todays Six Nations people and families.

In the Indian Affairs file, RG10, volume 2120 we find the case of Mary Jamieson, who was granted $200. By the Council to help her recover from a serious house fire.

Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation held their annual Three Fires Powwow recently.

There was also a call to remove driftwood and debris from creeks running through the reserve. Two individuals were selected and paid with the wood they collect.

The Council also approved the seeing test and glasses for Smily Carrier, a Six Nations senior, was approved the paying for his eye glasses.

That is not to say they were lax in their petitions to the Canadian Government over more pressing things as well.

Point being, it appears the people of Six Nations were doing pretty well in fulfilling their role of the Chiefs and Clan Mothers.

But time and tide wait for no man, as they say, and it didn’t wait for the Chiefs Council either.

A substantial portion of the population of Six Nations began thinking their situation would become a bit easier should they abandon the centuries old traditional way of doing governance and try on this elected system.

Will the Haudenosaunee Chiefs Council of the Grand River ever be returned, at least in some form, and recognized as a self governing body and once again have the ways and means to care for the individual needs of the Six Nations?

A level playing field would be a great start, and recognize the many positive things a healthy and fully functioning Haudenosaunee style system could bring to the rest of Canada.

Ontario health minister went against review recommendations on consumption sites

By Liam Casey Two Ontario government-commissioned reports recommended keeping existing drug consumption sites open across the province, increasing funding to stabilize staffing and hiring permanent security guards to boost safety, but the health minister decided against that guidance.

Instead, Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced this week that the government would ban supervised consumption sites near schools and prohibit new ones from opening in the future, with the premier defending the move on Wednesday.

The province is shifting to a treatment-focused model, the government said, as it moves away from supervised consumption. The new rules will mean the closure of 10 such consumption sites

across Ontario.

Two reviews released by the province this week suggested a number of ways to improve community safety in the sites, but Jones cited higher crime rates and concerns from neighbours and parents as a reason to do away with supervised consumption sites near schools.

The changes came after the province initiated several reviews of its 17 consumption and treatment service sites following the killing of a bystander near a Toronto site.

Karolina Huebner-Makurat had been walking through her southeast Toronto neighbourhood of Leslieville shortly after noon on July 7, 2023, when she was shot as a fight broke out between three alleged drug dealers.

Last fall, the province appointed Jill Campbell, the former chief nursing executive at Toronto's

Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, to take over the operations of The South Riverdale Community Health Centre, near where Huebner-Makurat was shot.

In the spring, Campbell filed a report to the province that included a number of recommendations on how to proceed with consumption and treatment service sites.

Campbell recommended expansion of harm reduction, including consumption sites, and safer supply of drugs "to prevent further accidental substance-use death and provide additional safer treatment options for substance users across the spectrum of substance illness."

She also recommended the province provide funding for security guards at sites that are located within 200 metres of schools and that the

government give more money to the sites to recruit and retain staff, which has been an issue.

Campbell further recommended an expansion of treatment beds, which are currently in high demand.

"Evidence shows that consumption treatment services are a necessary public health service, implemented to save lives and prevent accidental overdose death related to substance use," Campbell wrote.

Health-care officials, including the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, have warned of deaths as a result of shutting down supervised consumption sites.

Premier Doug Ford's government introduced the consumption and treatment services model in 2018, saying it would focus on connecting people to treatment, rather than the previous supervised

consumption model.

At that time, the province put in place a cap of 21 such sites in Ontario, but has only funded 17. There are other supervised consumption sites that received federal approval but no provincial funding, and two of them in northern Ontario recently closed due to a lack of funds.

The province also commissioned Unity Health Toronto, which runs two major hospitals, to review the South Riverdale consumption and treatment site, which is embedded in a larger community health centre.

Unity said "it is suitable to maintain funding" for the consumption and treatment site at South Riverdale and for it to remain integrated within the community health centre.

"The review team found a clear need for the services

Spencer Smith Park Aug 30th -Sept 2nd Friday-Sunday – 11am-11pm Monday – 11am-7pm canadaslargestribfest.com

at (South Riverdale), based on the number of clients being served and the broad range of health services clients are accessing via referrals and integrated services in the community health centre," the report said.

But it did note the concerns voiced by neighbours, which go back years before the fatal shooting. Residents had complained to the site and police about open drug use, discarded drug paraphernalia, fights and concerns for children, the Unity report said.

There was also poor communication by South Riverdale with local residents and no formal avenue to communicate with Toronto police.

Unity also discovered security guards hired after the Huebner-Makurat shooting were not trained in de-escalation and non-violent conflict resolution, despite saying they were.

It also found South Riverdale struggled to recruit and retain staff, especially registered nurses.

Jones's office said open drug use should not happen near schools and daycares.

"Communities, parents and families across Ontario have made it clear that the presence of drug consumption sites near schools and daycares is leading to serious safety problems," said Alexandra Adamo, a spokeswoman for Jones. "We agree."

She said the changes will protect society's most vulnerable: children.

Adamo pointed to crime data from Toronto police that she said shows consumption sites within 200 metres of schools have "a marked increase in crime when compared to the rest of the city."

Ford defended the province's decision on Wednesday.

"It's a failed policy, simple as that," Ford said of his 2018 policy. "We're making a better policy."

Opioid deaths surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the mortality rate for opioid toxicity hit its peak of 19.3 deaths per 100,000 people, data from the Office of the Chief Coroner show.

Finding help for addiction

By Jace Koblun Anyone thinking about seeking help for addiction should know that they are not alone. The 2022 United States National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicates 46.8 million Americans age 12 and older battled a substance use disorder in the previous 12 months. In addition, 10.5 per cent 12 and older had an alcohol use disorder in the past year.

Alcohol is the most commonly abused drug in Canada, followed by nicotine/tobacco and cannabis.

An estimated 3 per cent of Canadians have used one of five illegal drugs in the past year, and that rate increases to 4 per cent among youths between the ages of 15 and 19.

Substance abuse is not only expensive, but also dangerous. Addiction can cause health problems and damage relationships. Use of illicit substances and alcohol also can cause death.

Taking the first step to enter treatment is seldom easy, but it can prove beneficial in the long run. Here’s how to start the journey to

recovery.

Be honest with yourself.

The first step to recovering from a substance use disorder is to recognize you have a problem. You are not alone in this battle, and it can take great courage to admit your missteps. Be proud of yourself for wanting to get help, even if you haven’t quit just yet.

Reach out to friends and family. WebMD says a close family member or friend can be one of your biggest supporters as you take steps to recover. Although you cannot be entirely sure how they will react to the news, family and close friends may already suspect a substance abuse problem.

Be receptive to an intervention. Sometimes it takes the collective efforts of friends and family to help addicts realize they have people in their corner willing to help them recover.

Sometimes interventions are surprises, other times they are not. Listen to what others have to say and how they may be willing to help you change patterns that lead to continued substance abuse.

Work with an addiction professional. The Mayo Clinic says an addiction professional is usually a licensed alcohol and drug counsellor, social worker, psychologist, or psychiatrist. Medical experts have realized that addiction is an illness and not just a matter of bolstering one’s willpower. Therefore, enlisting a professional to suggest the best approaches to treatment and follow-up can lay a foundation for a successful recovery.

Speak with a doctor.

It may be intimidating to admit you need help, and if you don’t feel comfortable speaking with family, you can consult your doctor. A doctor is required to keep anything you say to him or her confidential. A doctor may refer you to substance abuse professionals or prescribe medications that could make it easier to stop using a substance and ease withdrawal symptoms. If drugs or alcohol are being used to self-medicate, a doctor also may suggest safer alternatives that can treat issues that alcohol or drugs may be masking.

Chiefs claw back from slow start

Rivermen up against it in BC

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS - The Six Nations Chiefs wrestled the Peterborough Lakers to take the series lead, 3-2 last Sunday, at the ILA. Game #6 was played Tuesday night in Peterborough, where the Chiefs could win the series.

If necessary, Game #7 is to be played at the ILA Thurs.

Aug 29.

After dropping games one and two in the Major Series Lacrosse playoff last week with the Peterborough Lakers, 9-8 and 8-5 respectively, the Six Nations Chiefs took the wind out of the Lakers sails with a show of power for Game 3, earning a convincing 12-3 win, last Tuesday, Aug. 20.

Goaltender Doug Jamieson and the Chiefs’ defence were standout keeping the Lakers off the scoresheet in both the second and third periods. Meanwhile the Chiefs ran roughshod over the Lakers, led by captain Cody Jamieson (3G,2A), Travis Longboat (2G,3A), Dhane Smith (2G,3A), and Eli McLaughlin (3G,1A).

Other Chiefs point-getters included Bryan Cole (1G,2A), Randy Staats (1A), Lyle Thompson (2A), ( Brendan Bomberry (2A), and Kyle Rubisch (1A).

Thursday, Aug. 22, the Chiefs continues their winning ways with a 1310 win, in Peterborough where the Lakers put up a much better fight. It was a high scoring affair with the teams tied at 5-5 after the

Landon Kells stopped the Six Nations Chiefs with probably his best performance of the year in Games #1 and #2, but the Chiefs kept the pressure on until his protective shield broke down, and he became human again. The Chiefs have comeback with three straight wins to lead the series 3-2 with Game #6 set for Tuesday LAFORCE night.

first period.

Joe Resetarits took early advantage with a powerplay goal with Steve Priolio in the penalty box for slashing.

Jamieson, Cole and Lyle Thompson answered for a 3-1 lead, but then Resetarits struck again closely followed by Jake Withers, and Thomas Hoggarth.

Eli McLaughlin stopped the Peterborough surge late in the frame but only temporarily as Lakers’ Colton Armstrong retaliated a minute later and Lyle Thompson closed out the period with the teams tied at 5-5.

The Lakers scored again for the 6-5 lead, but it didn’t last long. Brendan Bomberry, Lyle Thompson, Bryan Cole and Larson Sundown exploded on Landon Kells in the Lakers net. The lakers closed the second period scoring with the

August 28th, 2024

Chiefs leading 9-7.

Six Nations extended its lead early in the third period with goals by Longboat and Sam Leclair for an 11-7 lead.

The two teams traded goals until the end, with Peterborough notching a meaningless goal with three-seconds remaining to end it, 13-10 and the bestof-seven series now even a two games.

Dhane Smith was the playmaker setting up eight Chiefs markers. Larson Sundown also had a fine game with a goal and four assists. Also registering a five-point night was Eli McLaughlin (1G,4A).

Warren Hill was in the Chiefs net stopping 45 of 55 shots he faced to preserve the win while Landon Kells showed himself to be human after his heroics in Games 1, and 2.

LADNER BC - It looks like this will not be the year for the Six Nations Rivermen to return the Presidents Cup to Six Nations after all.

Tuesday morning (afternoon eastern time), the Rivermen woke up with a big task at hand.

Two games in the same day, and the heartbreak of game two to erase from their collective memory.

(More about that later).

Waiting for them for the late morning brunch game at 11AM were the Snake Island Muskies, and they were hungry. The Muskies bit the Rivermen three times before Six Nations retaliated. Both teams were

tentative throughout the first period which ended 2-0 for Snake Island.

Second period it was certain this would be a low scoring game as it was turning into a defensive battle. The Muskies led 4-2 after two.

Meanwhile, the Muskies were just getting started. A little life was injected into the system for the Rivermen to start the final frame when they drew as close as they were going to be, but still down 4-3.

The Muskies swarmed around the Six Nations end of the turf the rest of the way leading to the 8-4 final in favour of the fish.

The Rivermen had only a few hours to think

about their second battle of the day against the host, Ladner Pioneers at 8PM Western time, Tuesday.

After an impressive opening game of the tournament, taking it to the Victoria Shamrocks 13-7, they were robbed in Game #2 by the Allegany Arrows.

Six Nations were leading 9-7 with 20 minutes to play.

Allegany striker Chase Fraser put his team ahead by one with just under two minutes remaining. But the Rivermen did not give up, and with 28 seconds remaining, a one point tie when Zach Herreweyers completed a setup from Sam LeClair and Greg Elijah-Brown.

MARTIN: Melba Winnifred “Hubby”

Nyawenko:wa/Big Thank You

Suddenly surrounded by family and friends at the Brantford General Hospital on Sunday August 25, 2024 at the age of 84 years.

Beloved wife of 68 years to Roland.

Loving mother of Roger & Darlene, Cathy & Allan, Deb & Dan, Rosemary & Steve, and the late Lisa. Dear grandma of 16 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren, and 5 great great grandchildren. Daughter of the late Wallace & Lazelle. Sister of Nora & the late Bob, Felly (deceased) & Barb, Mona, Judy & Ken, Cecil (deceased) & Brenda, and Rin & Paulie.

The family will honour her life with visitation at Styres Funeral Home, 1798 4th Line, Ohsweken on Wednesday from 12-8 pm. Funeral service will be held in the chapel on Thursday August 29, 2024 at 11 am. Interment Stumphall Cemetery. www.rhbanderson.com

The family of the late Cal Smith wish to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for the on-going love and support extended to us since our devastating loss.

While there’s nothing anyone can say or do to take away the pain, every kind word, gesture, and hug has made it a little easier to bear. As always, words feel inadequate to thank all the people who touched our lives during our loss. We acknowledge everyone who shared their presence, brought food, gave us cards, helped in the kitchen, sent flowers, hugged us, and shared memories, songs, and stories of Cal. Even though there’s too many individuals to name, we know who you are and how you supported us.

There are a few people who went over and above to help us and we want to extend a special mention to them.

Nya:wen to our friends, Curt Styres and Jerry Montour, for bringing Cal home. Also sincere appreciation to Curt, Cal’s friend Wali, Brandi, Mandy, Julie and Pam for going above and beyond to support Ronnie and the kids though the ordeal, by travelling to Boston and being there for them. Many thanks to Logan Staats, Shane Powless, Spencer Thomas, Jon Harris, CJ, and Chris for all your help in making Cal’s Celebration of Life and funeral a true reflection of who he was. Nya:wen to Janie Jamieson and her family for their kind donation of a tent and tables.

Special thanks to Eliza Montour for her help and leadership in the kitchen. Many nya:wens to all of Cal’s friends.

Hearing your stories, memories and experiences with Cal and knowing how much he was loved and appreciated by all of you, brought us great comfort.

We also extend our greetings and our thanks to Skaronhyase’kowa The Everlasting Tree School community for your care, concern, food and love shown to all of us. We are so blessed to have a supportive community within a community. Also, thank you to Bill Lofthouse and RHB Anderson staff for your help and guidance.

We are humbled and honoured by the love and support we felt from our families and community. We continue to be consoled by the kind words, stories, hugs, and memories that were shared with us. Our hearts will always ache for the missing piece of our family, the empty chair at the table, the what could’ve beens, the missed opportunities, the dreams that didn’t come true, the experiences that didn’t happen and the memories that weren’t created, but knowing we are in the same canoe with so many families in our community, is comforting as well, because we know we are not alone.

Wa’kwanonhwera:ton (We send our greetings and our thanks to all of you) The Smith, Bomberry, Abrams and Kicknosway Families

MONTOUR: Ellwood “Ted” Sept. 21, 1951 - August 8, 2024 Peacefully with members of his family by his side, Ellwood “Ted” Montour went to be with his Creator and family on August 8, 2024. Ted was born September 21, 1951 in Ohsweken, Ontario on the Six Nations Reserve. He was predeceased by his father, Cecil Morgan Montour, mother, Lillian Grace Montour (Nee: Burnham), brothers Gary and Jason, and first wife- Gail.

He is survived by his loving wife Wilma (Wiz), brothers- Kevan and Steve (Deneen), sister- Melanie, step-daughters- Melissa and Maya (Joel), grandchildren- Matteo, Mila, and Abigail, nieces and nephew- Samantha, Seanna, Trinity, Shelby (Curtis), Skylar (Quintan), Cecil, and his grandnieces and grandnephews, and cousins.

Ted was a man who made significant contributions in the different roles he held throughout his life. He held some of the most coveted jobs in “official” Ottawa, working for Finance, Treasury Board and - ultimately, the Privy Council Office, where he was the Aboriginal Affairs Advisor to the Spicer Commission, the Citizen’s Forum on Canada’s Future. Ted was engaged and active in Canadian politics. He was a delegate at the 1990 Liberal Convention in Calgary. In those days, Ted had a closeknit group of friends, notably Pat Brascoupe, Art Dedam, Brian Shawana, and the Ashton gang - Ken Mackay, Bruce McPherson, Phil Morris, Stephen Kennedy and Jim Johnson. There was always mayhem of some sort going on and they all had a wonderful time.

His other love was Lacrosse. In 2004, he received the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association (CUFLA) Coaching Staff of the Year award. One of his greatest joys was when he was the Assistant coach for the Iroquois Nationals at the World Field Lacrosse Championships in London in 2006. In 2007, Ted was inducted into the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame and Museum as a Builder. He coached and managed at the minor and junior levels since the 1970s in Hamilton and Brantford. He was involved with Nepean Minor Lacrosse, Nepean Jr. B and the Ottawa Titans Jr. A, coaching at the minor level and handling Media Relations for the Jr. Clubs. He was the Creator/Co Producer of the television documentary “The Gift of the Creators Game”, a one hour documentary on the sport of Lacrosse from an Iroquoian perspective for the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN). He was also the Technical advisor for PRB Media for a 13 part series “Lacrosse Goals” on APTN. Anyone who had the good fortune to meet and know Ted can attest to the depths of his kindness, patience, and care for those around him. He was a man who loved deeply- he loved his wife, family, friends, and community. He worked hard for those he cared about. He is remembered for his room-filling laughter, sense of humor, and full-face smile.

He was a fountain of knowledge, a true story teller, and an outstanding writer.

A memorial will take place September 15 at 2pm. at the Ravensfield Sports Park Carleton University in Ottawa. The family will receive friends at a gathering at Hyde & Mott Chapel, R.H.B. Anderson Funeral Homes, 60 Main Street South Hagersville, on October 4th at 5pm. A graveside service will be held at St. Lukes Anglican Cemetery on October 5, 2024 at 11am. followed by a luncheon at Monthill GCC. www.rhbanderson.com Container Sales
