Nutrition tips for 2024 from Elected Councillor Dean Hill DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Everybody wants to eat healthier. Everybody wants to get healthier.

Everybody wants to have energy, strength, vitality and a healthy body weight.

The path to those goals is filled with confusion, however.

Dean Hill, Six Nations’ youngest elected councillor and personal trainer, is helping the community get healthier with his tips from years of trial and error and experience playing sports and learning the ins and outs of fitness and nutrition.

Now a personal trainer, Hill says it’s no secret that nutrition plays a huge role in weight management.

Of course, he says,

exercise plays a role, but some people can live a sedentary lifestyle and still maintain a healthy weight if they pay attention to their eating habits, although he doesn’t encourage it.

Hill spoke with the Two Row Times for a teaser on nutrition tips this week and would like readers to stay tuned for more indepth education and tips on healthier eating and

weight management for next week.

The most basic formula for weight loss is calories in, versus calories out.

Taking in more calories than you burn results in weight gain.

Reducing your caloric intake by roughly 500 calories a day, or 3,500 calories a week, can result in a weight loss of one pound.

But there’s so much

more to it than that, says Hill.

Age, muscle mass, hormones, and how much your diet is made up of protein, carbs and fat (macros) also play a role in weight loss.

Hill’s number one tip is first eliminating one or two things from your diet before embarking on a whole new lifestyle, which will overwhelm you and make you quit before you even see results.

Eliminating or reducing sugar is one of Hill’s biggest tips for starting out.

Just reducing it by cutting out soda and replacing it with water can make a big difference, he says.

You can also reduce the amount of sugar you put in your daily coffee, as well as condiments like ketchup and barbecue sauce, which contain large amounts of sugar.

“Too many changes at once can be overwhelming,” he said.

Also, he suggests trying to add in different foods slowly.

Protein-rich foods are one tried and true method for satiating hunger and aiding in weight loss and weight management.

Whether it’s a protein shake, or more chicken, fish, beef and eggs, he says people need to eat more protein to feel full.

A diet heavy in carbs and low in protein will result in weight gain.

Just add a few new foods and focus on adding more protein to the diet, he says.

It can be as simple as having a bowl of spaghetti with meat sauce but ensuring instead of 75 percent pasta and 25 percent meat, your bowl is 50/50 - half meat and half pasta, which means more protein, and therefore, feeling full faster, with a lower carbohydrate intake.

“Protein is the best way to fill up,” he said.

Carbohydrates not burned turn into fat but protein goes to build our muscles and literally makes up every soft tissue in our body, including the heart, brain, lungs and major organs.

Nutrition is one of the three major components of weight loss.

The other two are resistance (strength) training and cardiovascular exercises, says Hill.

Consistently paying attention to all three can yield results within three months, he says.

But there is more to the story. Hill acknowledges the role mental health and emotional “comfort” eating plays in weight gain, as well as expense and inability to access affordable, nutritious foods.

Lily Gladstone, first Native American actress nominee, travels to Osage country to honor Oscar nod

By Jocelyn Noveck Lily Gladstone knew she wanted to be somewhere special when the Oscar news came. And that somewhere was not home, watching on TV, but in Oklahoma with the Osage community, where the real-life version of her character lived and where Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” is centered.

“I decided that I wanted to be on the Osage reservation, should this news come in today,” Gladstone said in an interview shortly after receiving her historic nomination for best actress, the first Native American so honored.

“I wanted to be as close to Mollie Kyle and her family as I could be. So I’m here in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.

Once things wrap up, I think I’m gonna load up and drive out to Fairfax and Gray Horse and pay my respects there.”

Meanwhile Gladstone’s parents were FaceTiming

instead to focus on their own faces. “'Flip the camera around,'” she says she told her mother. “'I want to see your and dad’s reactions!'

And sure enough, I could kind of hear them starting to say my name, but then it just got drowned out by my parents cheering, and my dog started barking.”

Gladstone’s nomination was hardly a surprise. The accolades for the 37-yearold actor’s performance have been flowing since the film came out in October, and she won a Golden Globe earlier this month.

She’s had both time and opportunity to articulate what feels historic about this moment, and remains just as passionate.

“It’s what I’ve been saying this whole time and I still absolutely feel it,” she said. “It happens to be that

I’m carrying this honor right now … (but) it’s all so long overdue. It’s a real moment of restoration, placing Indigenous talent in these roles, spotlighting their humanity. … I think it is shattering a lot of stereotypes people have about Indigenous women, particularly Native American women.”

"We’re taking our place where we belong,” she said of Indigenous actors and storytellers. “And it’s taken a long time to get here. But it’s so necessary.”

Gladstone, who grew up between Seattle and the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, and learned the Osage language for the film, added that the recognition comes “in a time where across the country, stories like this are getting buried, are being consid-

“Killers of the Flower Moon,” adapted from David Grann’s real-life whodunit of the same name, focuses more than the book did on the relationship between Mollie and her husband, Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), who loves her but somehow also participates in a sinister plot with his uncle (Robert De Niro , also nominated ) to eliminate her family and acquire their oil-rich land.

only about what she called the “horrible, complicated, skewed love” between Mollie and Ernest. It is also, she said, about “the love that Mollie and her community had for each other. The one that carries everybody forward.”

“We carry forward by passing our stories forward, by passing our sense of self and our knowledge forward, by adapting and growing,” she said. “So having the story be passed forward on such a massive scale, I hope it just ignites a curiosity that maybe wasn’t there before for most people.”

Whatever happens at the Oscars, Gladstone’s upward trajectory has been swift. So what is next for her?

“I’ve got some great things that I can announce soon,” she said. “Some other things that I’ve been ruminating on for years with collaborators, with incredible filmmakers.

And now there’s definitely more green lights for those stories to progress.

I’m just so incredibly blessed being a working actor, period. So to even make a living doing what I love feels like an immense win.”

Gladstone added she was "really excited for anything that’s to come from it. As an actor and then, how I can help get other stories told that deserve to be out there. A lot of marginalized stories, and particularly in Indian country.”

Dietary fibre affects more than your colon: How the immune system, brain and overall health benefit too

By Mark Wulczynski, Medical Sciences PhD Candidate, McMaster University There’s no shortage of advice about what to eat, including hype about the latest superfoods that will help you live to 100, or about the newest restrictive diets that claim to help you lose weight and look beautiful. As a researcher from the Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute, I’m well aware that there is no universal “healthy diet” that will work for everyone.

However, most professionals would agree that a diet should be well balanced between the food groups, and it’s better to include more things like vegetables and fermented foods in your diet than restrict yourself unnecessarily.

Eating foods that promote gut health improves your overall health too.

Why is everyone so concerned about fibre?

The importance of fibre has been known for decades. The late great surgeon and fibre researcher Denis Burkitt once said, “If you pass small stools, you have to have large hospitals.” But dietary fibre does more than just help move your bowels. Fibre can be considered a prebiotic nutrient.

Prebiotics aren’t actively digested and absorbed, rather they are selectively used to promote the growth of a beneficial species of microbes in our gut. These microbes then help digest foods for us so we can obtain more nutrients, promote gut barrier integrity and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Fibres can also have microbe-independent effects on our immune system when they interact directly with receptors expressed by our cells. These beneficial effects may even help teach the immune system to be more tolerant and reduce inflammation.

Getting enough dietary fibre?

Probably not. The so-called western diet is low in fibre and filled with ultra-processed foods.

The recommendation for daily fibre is between 25-38 grams depending

on factors like age, sex and activity level. Most people consume about half of the recommendation, and it can negatively affect overall health.

Good sources of dietary fibre include whole grains, fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and nuts and seeds. There is a lot of emphasis on soluble fibres and less on insoluble fibres, but in reality, most foods will contain a mixture of both, and they each have their merits.

High fibre snacks are also gaining popularity. With an estimated global value of US$7 billion in 2022, the value of the prebiotic ingredient market is expected to triple by 2032.

The benefits of dietary fibre There’s plenty of evidence supporting the benefits of dietary fibre. Fibre isn’t just associated with colon health; it’s associated with overall health and brain health through the gut-brain axis. Diets low in fibre have been associated with gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease.

On the other hand, consuming adequate fibre also reduces the risk and mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases and obesity. There are studies that show improvements of cognitive function with certain types of fibre.

There are some gastrointestinal diseases, like Celiac disease, which are not typically associated with the benefits of dietary fibre. However, there isn’t a consensus to the specific type of fibre and dose that would be beneficial in treating most diseases.

Not all fibre is good fibre Shockingly, not all fibre is good for you. Fibre is used as an umbrella term for indigestible plant polysaccharides, so there are many different types with varying fermentability, solubility and viscosity in the gut.

To make things more complex, the source matters too. Fibre from one plant isn’t the same as fibre from another plant. Additionally, the old proverb, “too much good is not good” rings true, where overconsumption of fibre supplements can

The whole body can benefit from the right foods -- and studies show that fibre can have positive impacts on your guts and your STOCK brain.

cause symptoms such as constipation, bloating and gas. This is partly due to the differences in gut microbi-

omes that affect the ability to metabolize fibre to produce beneficial molecules like short-chain fatty acids.

In some cases, such as irritable bowel syndrome patients, lack of microbes with the capacity to digest fibre may allow intact fibres to interact with intestinal cells directly and exert pro-inflammatory effects.

Recent evidence has even shown that excessively high consumption of soluble fibres, such as inulin, a common supplement, can increase the risk of colon cancer development in an experimental animal model.

Part of a healthy diet Dietary fibre is an important part of a healthy diet that can promote both gut and overall health.

Fibre helps you feel more satisfied after meals and helps to regulate your blood sugar and cholesterol. Do your best to consume fibre as part of your diet, and when needed, take only the dose of supplements as recommended.

Prebiotics promote the growth of gut microbes that can affect gut health and immunity in the context of many different diseases, although not all fibres are created equal. While fibre won’t cure illness, diet is a great addition to medicines and treatment strategies that can improve their efficacy.

of Chatham-Kent Fire Rescue Chris Case. “The Command Unit allows our first responders to get fast access to equipment and information, as well as on-

site rehabilitation for firefighters to receive medical attention if needed. We are extremely grateful to Hydro One for helping us respond to emergencies as quickly and safely as possible.”

For the last three years, recipients of the Energizing Life Community Fund have directly supported community safety and wellbeing. These programs include increased access to mental health support for farmers, city beautification through mural projects, and peerled education to combat homophobia and transphobia.

“At Hydro One, we are committed to being

present and giving back to the communities where we live and work. Organizations like Chatham-Kent Fire Rescue are an essential part of keeping communities safe, and we want to thank them for all that they do,” said Vice President of Stakeholder Relations at Hydro One Daniel Levitan. “Charitable organizations and municipalities are powerful agents of local change, and we are proud to support them as they build a safer, better and brighter future for all.”

Society occupied the Kenora park for six weeks in July-August 1974 as a protest against injustices faced by Indigenous peoples. The occupiers had firearms but the occupation ended peacefully.

The industry-funded Nuclear Waste Management Organization is considering a Northwestern Ontario site near Ignace and Wabigoon Lake for a deep-underground repository for spent nuclear fuel.

It is slated to make its site decision near the end of the year.

Copenace said his community southeast of Kenora is “strongly against” the nuclear disposal plan.

“That’s the direction of all of our elders,” he said.

“That’s the direction of our young people. They don’t want to see nuclear waste buried in our backyard.

“It’s also very much the position of a lot of non-Indigenous white people, our friends and our families and our nearby municipalities.

“They don’t want to see nuclear waste buried, and certainly they also don’t want to see cyanide and mercury from nearby mines contaminating our lakes and fresh waters and our food supply as well."

Chief wants protest

ONIGAMING – The chief of the Ojibways of Onigaming First Nation would like to see a bit of a replay of a historic park protest, nearly 50 years later.

Chief Jeff Copenace said Friday in an interview with Dougall Media that he wants to see a peaceful occupation of Anicinabe Park happen on June 21, National Indigenous Peoples Day. “We’re calling on both First Nations and non-Indigenous people that if you’re against the burial of nuclear waste in Treaty 3 and near (lakes), then come and occupy Anicinabe Park.

“If you’re tired of all of the deaths and the funerals after funerals in First Nation communities across the country, then come and occupy Anicinabe Park.

“If you’re tired of the lack of health services that exist, then come and occupy Anicinabe Park with us.”

Copenace emphasized that the occupation would be “peaceful and non-violent – really a bit of a civil rights movement approach to quite frankly just saving the young lives of our First Nations people.”

Gift ideas for postsecondary students JACE KOBLUN

TWO ROW TIMES

Post-secondary education is the natural next step for many graduating high school students.

Holiday gifts that aim to meet the needs and interests of students can ensure the presents will be enjoyed and utilized.

Modern college students likely can use a few things to simplify life on campus.

Laptop or tablet: Gone are the days when students primarily use pen and paper for school assignments. Students are often introduced to tablets and other digital devices to complete assignments and take notes as early as elementary school. This reliance on paperless communication continues at high school and university levels. Most, if not all, assignments are posted online and then completed and submitted through various portals or cloud services. Therefore, college students will require a laptop or high-functioning tablet with the right processing speed and memory capacity to handle the demand.

Student card funds: Colleges utilize different programs for paying for

meal plans and incidentals purchased on campus.

This likely involves funds linked to a proprietary card that functions similarly to a debit or credit card.

Parking pass: Although freshmen may be restricted from bringing cars to campus unless they are commuter students, sophomores and upperclassmen may be able to park in campus lots. Parking typically is an extra cost for students, meaning friends or relatives can gift the cost of annual parking passes to the college students in their lives.

Dorm gear: College students who opt to live in campus housing often want to make their dorm rooms a home away from home. They will need to outfit these tight quarters with items that won’t take up too much space. Small pod-type coffee pots, compact microwaves, mini-fridges, under-bed storage shelving, area rugs, cozy comforters, and bathroom essentials can make college kids’ dorm rooms feel more like home.

Event tickets: Not every moment should be spent in classrooms or residence halls.

James Smith members who helped after massacre say inquest should have heard from them

By Kelly Geraldine Malone Members of a Saskatchewan First Nation who provided support after a mass stabbing say a coroner's inquest should be hearing about their response.

Cindy Ghostkeeper-Whitehead said she'll never forget the call she received early on Sept. 4, 2022, that something terrible was unfolding on the James Smith Cree Nation.

Myles Sanderson, 32, killed 11 people and injured 17 others there, and in the nearby village of Weldon, during a stabbing rampage.

Sanderson died in police custody a few days later.

One of the people killed, Gloria Lydia Burns, was a crisis worker who had been called to a home to help another victim.

Ghostkeeper-Whitehead, a family wellness worker on the First Nation, said she went to check on her colleague and found out Burns had died. Ghostkeeper-Whitehead stayed by her body until family could

arrive.

The inquest, now in its second week in Melfort, Sask., is to establish the events leading up to the killings, who died, and when and where each person was killed. The six-person jury can also come up with recommendations to prevent similar deaths.

A separate inquest into Sanderson's death is scheduled for February.

RCMP said in an overview of the massacre that Sanderson went to the First Nation to sell cocaine. In the days before the killings, he caused chaos with his brother, Damien Sanderson.

Damien Sanderson was the first to be killed. Myles Sanderson then went door to door on the First Nation, stabbing and killing people.

An RCMP criminal profiler has testified that some victims were targeted because Sanderson had a grievance against them, and others just got in the way of his mission to kill.

Ghostkeeper-Whitehead said when she learned Earl Burns Sr. had died, the ex-

tent of the tragedy became clear.

"I realized what was happening, that we had lost all these members in our community," Ghostkeeper-Whitehead said Tuesday during a break in the inquest testimony.

Along with her husband, Ghostkeeper-Whitehead said she went to each home where a person was killed to offer wellness support to family members on the day of the rampage.

The first week of the coroner's inquest heard from the first RCMP officers who responded to the scene, as well as a criminal psychologist and profiler.

On Monday, the inquest heard how paramedics and hospitals responded to the stabbings.

Mike Marion, the First Nation's health director, said it's frustrating the inquest is only hearing the third-party response to the tragedy. There's no mention of the First Nation’s first responders, he said.

"We had first aid members that were responding

CALL OUT FOR PROPOSALS

Public Relations Training Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council is seeking a qualified and experienced public relations consulting firm to provide training for our leaders.

(Extended) Proposal Deadline:

to give CPR, looking after the survivors that were stabbed, getting them to the triage at the centre," Marion said. "And there's no mention of that."

Marion said they have also provided a lot of supports since the massacre, including a therapist for each separate family.

Ghostkeeper-Whitehead and Marion both say it would be important information for the development of any recommendations.

The inquest heard Tuesday about Sanderson's time behind bars. His criminal history included 59 convictions as an adult; 35 were for failing to appear in court.

Jessica Diks, who was Sanderson's institutional parole officer in the federal penitentiary in Prince Albert, Sask., said Sanderson was denied parole each time he applied.

Sanderson was engaged in programs during his time at the penitentiary. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Sanderson became frustrated that it got in the way

of his progress, Diks said.

Sanderson could be very adversarial, she added.

"My impression was he didn't want to be told what to do."

Sanderson had asked to be released to the First Nation through a Section 84 process, which allows Indigenous offenders to be supported by an Indigenous community during conditional release. A liaison connected with First Nation leadership in August 2020 to develop a community release plan.

The inquest heard that Chief Calvin Sanderson of Chakastaypasin Band, one of three communities that make up James Smith, indicated he approved of Myles Sanderson's return to the community but he must follow conditions and maintain his programs.

Diks said she had concerns about Sanderson's release to the First Nation because of his history of domestic violence and vicinity to his common-law partner, Vanessa Burns.

Vanessa Burns told the

inquest last week about 14 years of abuse at the hands of Sanderson. She said Sanderson attacked her multiple times when she was pregnant.

Chief Calvin Sanderson told reporters after the inquest wrapped Tuesday that the discussion about the release plan included concerns over Myles Sanderson's return to the community. The chief added there weren't enough supports.

The chief said at that time nobody had a "crystal ball" to know what would happen.

Myles Sanderson eventually picked his father's home in Saskatoon as his release destination, the inquest heard. The chief said he was not updated further about Sanderson's release plans.

Sanderson received statutory release in August 2021 after his first federal prison sentence. Statutory release kicks in when an offender has served twothirds of a prison sentence.

Tips for seniors in school JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The picture of a traditional college student is one in his or her late teens or early 20s. However, a deeper look may reveal that college student demographics are more diverse than one might imagine.

Senior citizens can rest assured that if they plan to return to the classroom, they’re likely to find students around their age.

According to the senior citizen resource Elder Guru, just over 0.3 per cent of university students are over 65 years old. Even though that is a low number in the grand scheme of things, it is an indication that seniors have a presence on college campuses. And that number is expected to rise.

Universities are increasing efforts to include seniors as important parts of their student bodies.

Here are some things seniors considering going back to school may want to know.

Incentives are available: Many schools are looking to expand their elder student body populations by making it easier for them to go to school. That means seniors may be able to attend for little to no cost through tuition waivers and discounts.

Speak with an admissions officer about your options.

Lay the foundation for a new career: A survey from the Rand Corporation found that 39 per cent of workers age 65 and older who were currently employed had previously retired at some point.

Going back to school may

provide a foundation for new skills that can make it easier to advance in a second career.

Engage and socialize: Going back to school provides seniors with an opportunity to engage with their peers and younger students. Returning to school may expose older adults to new experiences, technologies and customs they may otherwise never have enjoyed.

Embrace a new environment: Heading back to college can be challenging, which is something seniors looking for mental stimulation may enjoy.

Senior Finance Advisor reports that heading back to school and lifelong learning has been linked to better health, improved financial situations and even a reduced risk of dementia.

Students studying abroad

By Jace Koblun Study abroad program participation understandably dipped in recent years as the world confronted a global pandemic, during which many countries closed their borders to non-residents for a period of time.

According to NAFSATM: Association of International Educators, the number of students from the U.S. studying abroad in the 2020 to 2021 academic year declined by 91 per cent from the year prior.

Since then, the world has largely returned to normal, and that means tens of thousands of students are once again considering study abroad programs.

Participation in a study

abroad program can be a life-changing experience for young students. As students and their families consider study abroad programs, they can consider these notable benefits of signing up to study overseas.

Experience a foreign culture: The chance to experience foreign cultures firsthand compels many students to study abroad each year. Data from NAFSATM indicates that 44 per cent of American study abroad students study in just five countries: Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, and Ireland. But study abroad programs are active in just about every corner of the globe. That means study abroad participants can experience

foreign cultures similar to their own or go to school in countries with cultures vastly different from their own homeland.

Enhance your career prospects: Study abroad programs can help students enhance their career prospects after graduation. NAFSATM notes that a 2014 survey found that nearly 40 per cent of companies indicated they missed out on overseas business opportunities due to a lack of personnel capable of working abroad. Students who study abroad can stand out in crowded applicant pools, particularly among employers looking to expand their international operations.

SIX NATIONS — Last year’s champions for the Eastern Women’s Arena Lacrosse League were the 66’erz, who battled it out in March of 2023. This year, five new teams have taken their place as the Eastern WALL, including the Blazers, Sirens, Sky Hawks, Cobras and Firebirds.

This move has placed the Eastern WALL as a bright and shining league for female box lacrosse athletes during their off-season time.

On Saturday, January 6, the first Eastern WALL games of the year played out at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA) in high-scoring fashion.

The Blazers took out the Sirens 9-5, the Sky Hawks and Cobras tied 7-7, the Firebirds lost by one goal to the Blazers 10-9, the Sirens couldn’t get their footing over the Sky

SIX NATIONS — Last year’s champions for the Eastern Women’s Arena Lacrosse League (Eastern WALL) were the 66’erz, who battled it out in March of 2023. This year, five new teams have taken their place as the Eastern WALL, including the Blazers, Sirens, Sky Hawks, Cobras and Firebirds.

Games were had throughout this month, seeing the Sky Hawks leading in standings. Photo courtesy ALL of the Eastern WALL Facebook Page.

Hawks and lost 4-6, while the Cobras defeated the Firebirds 8-6.

Following with the second game set, the Eastern WALL saw five more games played on Saturday, January 20.

First, the Firebirds took on the Sky Hawks.

In the first period, Esmee Hoston, Ferrah Blackbird, Amelia Filice and Megan

Fox scored for the Sky Hawks, while Deanne Pantin scored for the Firebirds. In the second period, Amelia Filice went for her second goal, and Esmee Houston her second as well seeing the Sky Hawks with a 6 goals lead.

Jada Doxtator put one away for the Firebirds, earning the Sky Hawks a 6-2 win.

A closer game was had for the Cobras and Sirens who went head to head. The first period saw Megan McGrath and Amy Toner score for the Cobras, while Kenley Jacobs and Alexa Ferraccioli scored for the Sirens. In the second, the Sirens earned a lead with a goal from Sarah Frost.

This brought in the two

remaining periods to see goals for the Cobras by Wayne Blasutti and Megan McGrath, closing the game 4-3 for the Cobras.

Later on, the Sky Hawks faced the Blazers which say the Sky Hawks nearly earn a shut out. In the first period, Ferrah Blackbird, Haley Price and Amelia Filice put goals away. The Blazers responded with a single goal from Janice Williams. In the second, third and fourth, the Sky Hawks pulled further away with goals from Esmee Horton, Kasey Goethals, and Jade Barko.

Later, the next match saw the Firebirds meet up with the Sirens. In the first period, Jada Doxtator went for two singles, then Raven Martin-General put two up. In the second period, Lindsay John also put up a double for the Firebirds, with Sarah Frost scoring once for the Sirens. In the third period, Mekwan Tulpin put two up, followed by Jada Doxtator, interrupted by a goal for the Sirens

from Kelley Jacobs. In the fourth the Firebirds closed the game out on top after Mekwan Tulpin and Deannae Pantin put goals away, 11-2 over the Sirens.

The last game of the day saw a decided tie between the Blazers and Cobras.

In the first period, the Blazers scored through Carey-Leigh Vyse, then the scoring halted until the third period. Mackenzie Shigwadgja scored early in the period for the Cobras, while Charlene Brown scored for the Blazers.

In the fourth, Courtney Norton scored twice for the Cobras, but the tie was set by Tyler McDonald for the Blazers. This ended the game 3-3.

These games reflect in the standings as the Sky Hawks in first place, followed by the Cobras, Blazers, Firebirds and Sirens consecutively. The next games for the Eastern WALL are set for February 3 at the ILA, starting at 12 p.m., and finishing at 4 p.m., EST.

This week saw games resume in the Arena Lacrosse League

By 2RT Staff with notes from arenalacrosseleague.ca GREAT TORONTO AREA — The Arena Lacrosse League returned to play this past weekend after several postponed games the week before due to increment weather. The hometown teams, the Six Nations Snipers and Ohsweken Bears, saw play within the Millbrook and Toronto Rock Athletic Centre Arenas.

Due to the postponed games, the standings for the Bears altered: the Bears jumped down to sixth place while the Snipers continue to take up eighth. Nonetheless, both teams were able to take part in their games this week.

On Saturday, January 20, the Snipers took on the Peterborough Timbermen at the Millbrook.

In the first period, goals came from Daylin Hill and

Danton Miller, while the Timbermen stole ahead with five goals. In the second, Ben Whitich scored twice, with Mike McGlaughlin offering a supportive single, and Josh Miller closing the period.

The Timbermen scored six more, making the game 7-11 for the Timbermen. In the third period, Andrew Vradenburg, Rodd Squire, Brent Longboat and Danton Miller added singles to the score, still giving the Timbermen the lead 12-19. In the fourth, Tayton Skye, Danton Miller (2), Tyler VanEvery, Sid Powless, Brent Longboat and Tyler Kolooka scored, finishing the game 19-25 for the Timbermen.

On the same day, the Bears came close but were just shy of a win, again. In the first period, the Bears saw goals from Lucas Beaver, James Whiteford (2), and a single goal from the Monarchs. This set the game at 3-1 for the Bears.

Arena Lacrosse League.

In the second period the Bears kept the lead with goals from Layne Smith and Lucas Beaver’s second, and two goals for Toronto. In the third, the Monarchs started to

SUB

gain tractions with three consecutive goals, before Layne Smith and Lucas Beaver could pick at the score. Two more goals went to the Monarchs and Kaine Kettle closed the

period for the Bears with a single, making the game an 8-8 tie. In the fourth, the Bears started strong with goals from Lucas Beaver with his third and Anthony Patterson, but

the Monarch put four up themselves. The game closed out with a hattrick goal by Layne Smith, unfortunately placing the Bears just behind 11-12.

As for the other matches, the Whitby Steelhawks earned a convincing win over the Paris RiverWolves 14-11, and moved back in the number one position with the win. The Oshawa Outlaws earned another big win, and another good showing from all aspects, as they defeated the Brampton Express 16-12.

The next games for the Snipers will fall on Saturday, January 27, away from home at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre to face the Toronto Monarchs. The Bears, however, will play at home against the Peterborough Timbermen on Sunday, January 28 at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

Annual hockey rally competition open for nominations By 2RT Staff with notes from hockeyville.kraftcanada.ca CANADA — The Kraft Hockeyville competition entered its first phase of nominations on Friday, January 19. The nominations are set to remain open until February 18.

The competition is an annual endeavour sponsored by Kraft Heinz, the National Hockey League and the NHL Players' Association in which communities compete to demonstrate their commitment to the sport of ice hockey.

The winning community earns a cash prize of $250,000 dedicated to upgrading their local arena, as well as the opportunity to host an NHL pre-season

game. Runners-up also get smaller cash prizes to upgrade their arenas.

The contest is normally held in the winter and spring during the latter half of the NHL regular season, with the pre-season game usually held in September before the following regular season.

If the winning arena is not adequately equipped to host the pre-season game, it is then played at an alternative site nearby.

Currently, the competition begins with the ‘Nominate & Rally’ phase where individuals can take actions on the site to earn points for their community. Judges will then review all nominations and gather total scores to select the finalists. The top four communities will go

head-to-head in a round of voting to determine the winner.

Rallying actions include: submission of a written video or essay nomination story including supporting photos of the arena, and add a supporting note for the arena. If not nominating, those interested can react with emojis to nominated stories and photos.

In 2021, the Chief Young Eagle Recreation Centre was repaired to its former glory after earning the Kraft Hockeyville 2021 prize.

Toronto Rock takes first place spot, seconding Albany FireWoles for the first time By 2RT Staff nationalacrosseleague.ca

Black eye boxer Evan Tamilia goes 4-2 with the win Saturday vs BLACK EYE BOXING king of the ring boxer at Oakville boxing.

This years standings for the National Lacrosse League (NLL) have followed an unusual pattern from the start. This past week remains in the same line as the San Diego Seals went into Albany and dominated the previously undefeated FireWolves, while the Georgia Swarm almost upset the still-undefeated Toronto Rock.

Since this week completed, the Albany FireWolves moved down to second place, conceding to the Toronto Rock, followed by San Diego Seals, Rochester Nighthawks.

Georgia Swarm, Buffalo

Bandits, Las Vegas Desert Dogs, Philadelphia Wings, Calgary Roughnecks, Panther City, Halifax Thunderbirds, New York Riptide, Vancouver Warriors, Colorado Mammoth, and the Saskatchewan Rush, consecutively.

Highlights of the week can start with Albany, the underdog and previously undefeated, losing their footing against the Seals 14-7. The FireWolves have a Bye in Week 9 to regroup before hosting the Desert Dogs in Week 10. As a whole, the offense still looks good – it definitely was noticeable not having Six Nations Marshall Powless (short-term hold out list) out on the

floor. Doug Jamieson and the defense should still be considered very reliable with their NLL third-best 10.71 goals against per game. The Seals, of course, move up after they beat the FireWolves. The 14-7 win on the road can be considered the team’s most complete performance of the season.

On the other end of the top teams, but close to home, the Toronto Rock came close to the edge with the Georgia Swarm, 12-9. The Rock are now in the top spot as the last remaining undefeated team in the league. Since their first game this season, they have looked like one of the best teams in the

league.

Another upset highlight was the Buffalo Bandits, who fell to the New York Riptide 15-3. It goes without saying that the current lineup isn’t playing like the Bandits that many know them as, and this year has been different in many ways. The Bandits haven’t started a season worse than 4-2 through their first six games of a season since the 2017-18 campaign. Unfortunately, the Bandits have not been delivering those performances at the same rate as the last few seasons.

The Bandits now head to Toronto for a massive early-season clash with their top rival next.
