Accused kidnapper released on bail Male arrested for

By TRT Staff

SIX NATIONS/BRANTFORD – A 39-year-old Brantford woman accused of bazaar knifepoint kidnapping, assault and forcible confinement involving four Six Nations teens, among other possible charges, is free on bail. Still at large is co-accused, 39-year-old, Jason Anthony LaForme.

According to a Six Nations Police Report; On Monday, September 11th, 2017, at 2:20 A.M., the Six Nations Police Service responded to a report of an assault near Iroquois Plaza on Chiefswood Road in Ohsweken. Officers attended and were directed to 18 Oak Street where a youth was being treated by ambulance.

Police were told by one

of the youths that he had been abducted by a woman and two men at knife point at approximately 10:00 P.M. The youth stated that he was asked to come outside his friend’s residence on Oak Street to talk to a friend from school and when he did, he was approached by an adult, white female and two adult, native males.

They were all armed with knives and forced the youth into the back seat of a dark coloured fourdoor car. The youth stated that he been driven around for approximately four hours looking for a friend of his.

The abductors took the youth around Ohsweken, to Brantford and back to Ohsweken over the course of the four hours.

SIX NATIONS — Local residents were surprised this week to discover that Indian Status cards are no longer available at the Six Nations membership office.

A simple text notice posted on the front door of the membership office let visitors to the building know that card renewals were no longer available at the on-reserve office.

Response on social media was that of frustration as no public notice was made by SNEC prior to the notice posted on the door of the

membership office Six Nations Elected Council shared a statement to their Facebook page late Tuesday afternoon informing the community cards are no longer going to be distributed at the Six Nations office. “In the upcoming year, the laminated status cards issued

by Six Nations Lands and Membership will be phased out,” reads the statement.

“Currently the Membership Office does NOT have any cards available until further notice.”

The notice says In-

Police are seeking the public's help in locating 39-year-old Jason Anthony LaForme in relation to a bazaar series of kidnappings and assault in the wee hours of September 11th.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

During this time the abductor threatened to kill the youth’s family if he tried to escape or call the police.

The abductors were joined by a second vehicle and a fourth person, an adult male and together

they located the second youth that they were looking for, near the library, in Ohsweken. The youth was assaulted by one of the males and the abducted youth was assaulted while trying to intervene. The four adults then left the scene in the two vehicles.

Jennifer Lynn McIntyre, 39, of Brantford has been charged in relation to this incident.

Co-accused, 39-year-old, Jason Anthony LaForme is charged with four counts of Assault with a Weapon, two counts of Forcible Confinement, two counts of Uttering Threats, Break and Enter, Kidnapping, Robbery, Possession of a weapon for Dangerous Purpose, and Failing to Comply with Conditions.

SIX NATIONS — After seven months of investigation, Six Nations Police made three arrests in connection to the murder of Dustin Wayne Monture.

Sharon Susanne Hill, 40, Aaron Jason Martin, 39, and Jeffrey Lee Martin, 37, all of Six Nations, are each charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder in the case.

It has been reported police are seeking a fourth individual, Darryl Shawn Hill, in relation to the case. OPP and Six Nations Police did not confirm by press time further details on his identity or if a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Last Tuesday Sharon Hill and Aaron Martin were arrested and charged. Jeffrey Martin was charged early Wednesday morning. The three are suspected of knowingly assisting the suspected killer to escape.

According to Six Nations Police on February 21, 27-year-old Dustin Monture was found by residents unconscious on the front lawn of a Tuscarora Road home. Police said those residents believed Monture to be suffering head injuries due to an assault and

After seven long and agonizing months with little progress, Roxanne Farmer, mother of 28-year-old Dustin Monture, who was found beaten and shot to death in front of a Tuscarora Street home, welcomes the recent arrests made in the case. But at the same time, has many questions about what she perceives is slow and lax police efforts in solving the case. Three accomplices were arrested last week, but the suspected murderer is still at large. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE transported him to West Haldimand General Hospital. He was then taken by air ambulance to Hamilton General Hospital in critical condition.

Police later said a CT scan showed Monture had suffered a bullet wound to the head. He later died in hospital as a result of his injuries. Police were unable to determine at the time where the actual shooting occurred.

That was seven months ago and now Dustin’s mother, Roxanne Farmer, says she is still torn.

Farmer says she is relieved to see progress being made in resolving the murder of her son. But at the same time, she is less than impressed with how long it has taken to make arrests.

Farmer says investigators from Six Nations Police Services have been

emotionally cold towards her and her family along the way.

“I think they have been here maybe three or four times in that seven months,” said Farmer.

“They let me know that they made arrests in a text.” Farmer says she considers that unprofessional and very insensitive.

“It is hurtful that they [SNPS] have taken so long to follow up on tips and evidence,” said Farmer.

According to family member Bill Monture, “It was us, the family, calling police regularly to get any updates. They never offered anything. At first I was leery that they would find out who killed my nephew. But now, with these arrests, I am heartened they're getting somewhere now."

Farmer says she is wondering how much police work has actually been done by SNPS in those seven months, since most of the information surrounding the murder has come by way of tips from the community.

But Six Nations Chief of Police, Glenn Lickers, acknowledges the importance of tips from the public in this, as in other serious case files.

"These individuals are facing charges as a result of the cooperation from the public,” said Lickers in a media statement.

“We know that there are other people in our community that have information surrounding the homicide of Dustin Monture and we need them to come forward more than ever. We want them to have that courage and strength to contact the police. We need to bring some resolution to his family. That one phone call can make a difference.”

Farmer and her family echo Lickers words but hope the arrest of her son’s murderer will be made soon.

"I'm praying that the family can get some closure,” said Farmer.

OPINION

Glossing over history EDITORIAL BY NAHNDA GARLOW

Earlier this week a concerned parent posted an image from a children’s workbook — the “Complete Canadian Curriculum Grade 3” — that left the internet shook.

A synopsis of the history section of the workbook called ‘Moving Out’ says “When the European settlers arrived, they needed land to live on. The First Nations peoples agreed to move to different areas to make room for the new settlements.”

Reaction to the discovery has been a healthy range of disgust, embarrassment and ultimately — humiliation for the publisher, Popular Book Company Canada, based in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Initially the publisher responded by saying in the next edition they would amend their mistake. But that was clearly not good enough for Canadians of all backgrounds. After social media put the company on blast for both the initial mistake and their tone deaf response, they issued a statement Tuesday saying they were immediately recalling the book.

In 2015 the provincial government made steps to revise the way history between indigenous people and settlers is taught in elementary and secondary schools - with consultation and curriculum developed by indigenous scholars from

both the Annishnabe and Haudenosaunee communities.

Here is an excerpt from Ontario’s website — and what they say about the story of the settlers.

“First Nations were the original occupants of this land we call Ontario. Our shared history begins around 400 years ago, when Europeans first arrived.

“Treaties between the British Crown (government) and Indigenous peoples were negotiated and signed with the intent of delivering mutual benefits.

“Despite the promise of early treaties and the respectful, nation-to-nation partnerships they established, Indigenous Peoples became the target of colonial policies designed to exploit, assimilate and eradicate them.

“Today, the Ontario government recognizes the wrongs of previous generations and is committed to changing the future by rebuilding relationships based on trust and respect.

“Part of that commitment includes educating Ontarians about the role treaties play in each of our lives and in our relationships with each other. “Though they were signed more than a century ago, treaty commitments are just as valid today as they were then.

Every Ontarian is a treaty person.”

The Masked Bandit

By Quin Staats The weather has been fluctuating as per usual during this time of year. Like an innocent soul waking up from a long nap, the temperature quickly changes from hot to cold.

The rain has been falling nonstop since this afternoon, and isn't expected to stop until tomorrow afternoon. After a week of mid summer weather, the rain covers the hot pavement and fields in a blanket of cool serenity.

However, my entry today is not about this beautiful shift of natural energy, but rather

something more specific in the natural world: raccoons.

Sometimes I doubt myself and think I'm looking too deep into something that means nothing at all. But I know, that every interaction with nature holds potential; potential to extract your own meaning, and to exercise your inner creator.

The raccoon has been dedicated to its mission to visit me, appearing on and off the clock in the most creative and innovative ways, which fits quite well to its character.

There is much to be read on the raccoon as a trickster; a nuisance. But, if one looks closer, deeper and beyond, there is much more than just what meets the eye.

The raccoon is a protector and generous provider. Many animals and creatures will fight and compete when it comes to food, while the raccoon gives back in gratitude before taking for itself. It will honour its elders, injured, young and those in need first.

Their powerful sense of curi-

osity always trumps their sense of fear. The raccoon represents a life of adventure, growth, and honour, as well as a complete surrender to the unknown.

It's no wonder this furry little friend went out of his way for me to see him; in dreams, designs, on the street, in songs, etc. Among all the messages he carried, I recognized a certain theme. The raccoon was representing an ideal of the collective. That, my best chance at survival and existence was as a part of the collective and never on my own. To surrender to fear, the unknown, and my responsibilities in that collective.

That…although these concepts have been severely deprioritized, they are the one true way.

Nya:weh Raccoon for your medicine.

Burtch Tobacco?

As of Tuesday morning, there are acres of tobacco ready for harvest, but whose tobacco is it, and who will benefit from it? A Brantford Court upheld an injunction keeping Kris Hill and anyone representing her, off the former Burtch Industrial Farm lands. Elected Band Council will not comment to the question of who will harvest the crop and who will benefit from it, if the crops are determined to be the profits from crime, since Hill was ordered off the land by the courts.

Security at the gate of the Burtch property refused to speak to media. PHOTO

Vegas shooting – not the worst in American history

By Jim Windle Editor`s Warning: This story contains details of genocidal violence, please be advised. Also, the word ``Indian`` is used in historical context.

LAS VEGAS — The horrific shooting in Las Vegas over the weekend has raised the eyebrows of police and security officers around the world.

How do you protect large outdoor events? A lone gunman armed with 16 guns, some of them fully automatic, scopes tripods and an arsenal of ammunition and perched 32 stories above a park area 20 minutes of opened fire on more than 22,000 country fans, enjoying a two day festival.

As was the case following America’s last, worst mass shooting, the Orlando nightclub in 2016, which caused 49 deaths, mainstream media began calling the Las Vegas mass murder the worst in American History.

But soon after, CNN, in particular, shifted their wording to the worst mass shooting in “modern” American History.

Rather than include the government-sponsored genocide of North Amer-

ican Indians, they later explained that what they meant was, “since 1949.”

It would appear they learned something after being corrected by American Indian groups who reminded news producers of other attacks that were just as, if not more horrific against them during the American expansion into the west.

Here are just a few other atrocities that make the Los Vegas killings look mild in comparison.

No disrespect is intended towards those victims.

1890 – Wounded Knee Massacre - Members of the U.S. 7th Cavalry attacked and killed between 130 and 250 Sioux men, women and children at Wounded Knee, South Dakota.

1890 – ¬Stronghold - South Dakota Home Guard militiamen ambushed and massacred 75 Sioux at the Stronghold, in the northern portion of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

1877 – Battle of the Big Hole - US troops under Colonel John Gibbon attacked a Nez Perce village at Big Hole, in Montana Territory. They killed 89 men, women and children before being repulsed by the Indians.

1872 - Skeleton Cave

One of the worst mass shootings in American History happened December of 1890 at Wounded Knee where American soldiers surrounded with gatling guns and field cannons, slaughters between 130 and 250 Sioux men, women and children. HISTORICAL PHOTO Massacre - U.S. troops and Indian scouts killed 76 Yavapai Indians men, women and children in a remote cave in Arizona's Salt River Canyon.

1871 - Camp Grant Massacre - Led by the ex-Mayor of Tucson, William Oury, eight Americans, 48 Mexicans and more than 100 allied Pima attacked Apache men, women and children at Camp Grant, Arizona Territory killing 144, with 1 survivor at scene

and 29 children sold to slavery. All but eight of the dead were Apache women or children.

1870 - Marias Massacre - US troops killed 173 Piegan, mainly women, children and the elderly after being led to the wrong camp by a soldier who wanted to protect his Indian wife's family.

1868 - Washita Massacre - During the American Indian Wars, Lt. Col. G.A.Custer's 7th U.S. Cavalry attacked a village of

sleeping Cheyenne led

by Black Kettle. Custer reported 103 – later revised to 140 – warriors, "some" women and "few" children killed, and 53 women and children taken hostage. Other casualty estimates by cavalry members, scouts and Indians vary widely, with the number of men killed ranging as low as 11 and the numbers of women and children ranging as high as 75. Before returning to their base, the cavalry killed several hundred Indian ponies and burned the village.

1864 - California settlers massacred 300 Yana Indians who had gathered near the head of Oak Run, California for a spiritual ceremony.

1863 - California settlers massacred 300 Yana Indians who had gathered near the head of Oak Run, California for a spiritual ceremony.

1862 - During the U.S. Civil War, a detachment of irregular Union Indians, mainly Kickapoo, Lenapeand Shawnee, accompanied by Caddo allies, attempted to destroy the Tonkawa tribe in Indian Territory. They killed 240 of 390 Tonkawa, leaving only 150 survivors.

1860 - In three nearly simultaneous assaults on

the Wiyot, at Indian Island, Eureka, Rio Dell, and near Hydesville, California white settlers killed between 200 and 250 Wiyot in Humboldt County, California. Victims were mostly women, children and elders, as reported

by Bret Harte at Arcatanewspaper. Other villages massacred within two days. The main site is National Register of Historic Places in the United States #66000208.

1859-60 - White settlers calling themselves the "Eel River Rangers", led by Walter Jarboe, kill at least 283 Indian men and countless women and children in 23 engagements over the course of six months. They are reimbursed by the U.S. government for their campaign.

1856-50 - White settlers killed over a thousand Yuki Indians in Round Valley over the course of three years in an uncountable number of separate terrorist attacks.

1846 Captain Frémont's men attacked a band of Indians (probably Wintun) on the Sacramento River in California, killing between 120 and 200 Indians.

Moving Forward Together – Survivors Gathering

By Chezney Martin BRANTFORD – The Woodland Cultural Centre hosted yet another event full of reconciliation, understanding and sharing in the event titled Moving Forward Together – Survivors Gathering over the weekend of September 29-30.

The gathering brought together residential school survivors, family, friends and allies to the grounds of the centre to participate in virtual tours, survivor filming, a healing walk and activities throughout the twoday experience.

Co-ordinator and chair of the committee for the event, Carlie Myke explained that the focus of the event was to use the space and time for healing for the survivors and their families in two ways.

“On Friday we had a few work shops and some services available on site for survivor supports,” said Myke. “Friday was focused towards survivors as well, so we did have survivors and family of survivors and people who said 'I'm not a survivor but my mother was, or my grandparents were,' and they came too. That's sort of what the day was focused on was the survivors themselves and their support systems of people who are inter-generational survivors who might also benefit from the support.”

These activities and services included a variety of traditional medicines including sweet-grass, cedar, sage, white pine and tobacco to be used by those in attendance as they felt necessary. It also included presentations by Justice Gethin Edwards and Jock Hill, opening remarks by Tom Porter, and entertainment by Cecil Sault and Old Chicago.

But, Myke explained that Saturday had a wider spectrum of visitors and participants.

“Saturday we had a much broader attendance; we had people that were from schools and people that were from Brantford and the non-indigenous community that came to support and join us in the

walk,” she said.

The venture was titled a healing walk, as supporters and survivors were to take part in the walk whilst wearing “Every Child Matters” t-shirts which coincide with Orange Shirt Day. This helped to showcase the support, reconciliation and care from both the indigenous and non-indigenous communities to the survivors, as the walk was lead by the Old Mush Singers with survivors behind.

“The main focus was on survivors and to support their healing journey, and give them something for that healing,” she said.

“We had the traditional medicines, we had involvement from language and when we did the thanksgiving address on the Saturday it was given in three languages, and that's the first time that's ever been done here.”

Elected Council Chief Ava Hill addressed the crowd full of survivors, traditional singers, friends, family and allies before the healing walk commenced. PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN With helping to heal survivors, this also brought about talk in how the history of the Mohawk Institute will be further preserved.

Elected Council Chief Ava Hill said that she was “very happy” to be able to attend the event, and explained that the Save the Evidence Campaign began as a means of never

forgetting what happened within the walls of the Mohawk Institute for over 100 years.

“To build for the future, we have to learn from the past,” said Hill. “It's so important – our culture, our language and our history and who we are and that we remember.”

This understanding prompted a large contribution from both Elected Council and the City of Brantford.

“The elected council contributed $220,000 to kick off the [Save the Evidence] campaign, and we put a challenge out there for anybody to match it; the federal government, the provincial govern-

ment, and the municipal government. I'm just happy to say that the first one to match that challenge was the city of Brantford, and they also donated $220,000 as well.”

Councillor Richard Carpenter from the Brantford City Council also apologized on his own behalf aside from the council.

“The residential school was here when I was a kid,” said Carpenter. “I probably rode my bike down that street, not knowing what was happening here.

I'm sorry for what happened, I truly am. I don't have permission from council to say that on their behalf, I'm saying that on

my own.”

Carpenter also recognized that words don't “mean much” but the ability of the survivors to share their stories and move forward to educate people on what happened is the kind of action that means a lot.

Feedback in regards to the two-day gathering was positive as the concept and focus was considered a step in the right direction. The event proved that the support in maintaining the building and it's history is just as strong as the support and care for the survivors themselves.

Supporting Canada's Breast- Ontario breast milk bank feeding week October 1-7 calling for donations as Breastfeeding helps to keep your baby healthy and supplies the necessary nutrients in proper proportions. It is easily digested, provides for a healthier baby weight, and protects against allergies, illness, and obesity. Human milk contains antibodies and other immune factors, helping to protect against infections and disease. These are benefits that last a lifetime. Studies have also shown that breastfeeding is linked to higher IQ's.

Breast milk is readily available at any given time. It is always at the right temperature, clean and free of charge. No bottles...no dishes. There is also no waste, which is better for our environment.

Mothers that breastfeed reduce their risk of Type 2 Diabetes and certain cancers such as breast cancer. Anoth-

er pro is many find it much easier to return to pre-pregnancy weight. It also helps to strengthen the bond between mother and child.

Some helpful hints...

Got Milk? How do you know your baby is getting enough of the good stuff?

Wetting 4 or 5 diapers in a 24-hour period.

Pale urine without any odour.

2-3 bowel movements within 24 hours; brownish to mustard yellow movements; dollar-sized movements.

You can hear swallowing during feeding times.

Your breasts feel full before a feeding and feel soft afterwards.

How often should you breastfeed?

At first, feed your baby on demand; feeding when they are hungry Typically as often as

every 2-3 hours, although you can expect to breastfeed 8-12 times over a 24hour period.

You might feed more frequently for short periods of time, which is “cluster feeding” in the evenings. This is normal and could mean a growth spurt.

Don't be afraid to ask questions or advice about Breastfeeding. Help is readily available, all around you. You can ask your doctor or midwife, or simply ask a family member or close friend.

There are many community-based programs that support breastfeeding. Other alternatives are contacting a lactation consultant, a public health nurse, or breastfeeding coordinator.

The Two Row Times is proud to wish all Mothers an abundant and healthy Happy Breastfeeding Week!

supply for preemies low The Canadian Press TORONTO — Ontario’s Human Milk Bank is calling for donations of breast milk from lactating women to help save sick and pre-term babies' lives.

The milk bank says donations decline over the summer months, so an increase in donated breast milk is needed to replenish current stocks that have run low.

About 1,500 low-birthweight babies are born every year in Ontario and many of their mothers are unable to provide adequate amounts of milk.

Without donor milk, these babies are at a higher risk of developing life-threatening complications.

The milk bank collects

extra milk from lactating women in Ontario, pasteurizes it and distributes it by prescription to infants in neonatal intensive care units across the province.

About 125 litres of breast milk are processed each week at the bank, housed at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.

Women who wish to become donors go through a screening process similar to that used for donating blood.

Mount Sinai neonatologist Dr. Sharon Unger, medical director of the milk bank, says becoming a milk donor can provide life-altering nutrition to medically fragile babies. ``While donor milk is not the same as mother's own milk, research

shows that it can protect the sickest and most vulnerable babies against a life-threatening illness called necrotizing enterocolitis — a severe bowel condition that is a common cause of mortality for pre-term babies,'' Unger said in a release Monday.

Two Row Times flying into the remote north Two Row Times reporter Jayson Koblun and sales executive Tiff Thomas are on a tour of duty with the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation to remote reserves in northern Ontario. With help from Henderson Playground Equipment of Simcoe, creative playgrounds are

being installed in remote Northern Ontario communities.

Tiff and Jay will be filing stories from reserves at Moose Cree, Kashechewan, Attawapiskat, and Fort Albany as the Dreamcatcher Foundation reaches out to these too often forgotten com-

munities.

Last trip to the north, Dreamcatcher brought something at a time when there was very little good news to be had. “Hope,” said one young mother and resident of Wabigoon. “It opens the door for hope.”

The Dreamcatcher Foundation has committed to purchasing and installing new playgrounds for First Nations children of the north. This year’s

trip is part of the Dreamcatcher mission to help children from remote reserves, many of whom have suffered from the effects of natural disasters, unemployment, and youth suicide, coupled with decades of chronic government underfunding.

Watch for Jayson’s report when our team members return next week.

Dreamcatcher not only installed playgrounds this week but also gave away backpacks for school kids in fly-in communities up north.

Theft – Commercial: On Wednesday September 20, 2017 the Brantford General Hospital reported the theft of a charity painting which had been on display in the hallway.

The Brantford Police Service had been notified and Community Patrol Officers attended. The theft was captured on video surveillance within the hospital and the accused was identified using the video and still photo footage. On Thursday September 28, 2017 the accused a 44-year-old Brantford male was charged with Theft Under $5000 under the Criminal Code.

Public Intoxication: On Friday September 29, 2017 at 11:40 a.m. Brantford Police Service were called to the Tim Horton’s on Market Street about

an unwanted intoxicated male. Community Patrol Officers attended and located the male slumped over a table inside the store. Officers spoke to the intoxicated and belligerent man. The accused a 56-year-old Brantford man was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place.

Social Media Information Post: It has come to the attention of the Brantford Police Service that a social media information post is circulating in the community. The post speaks of a child predator in the area of Tutela Park on Erie Avenue attempting to lure children in a vehicle by using money, candy and toys. The Brantford Police Service is not investigating such a child luring case involving a person in a vehicle luring children. Our ser-

vice did investigate an incident which took place on Monday September 25, 2017 at the park where youths were involved in a disturbance amongst themselves. At one point a male sitting on a porch at a nearby residence exchanged words with the youths. An officer investigated and spoke to both the youths and the man.

As a result of the investigation it was deemed that this is not a case of a child luring incident and the Brantford Police Service is not looking for a child predator that is driving around in a vehicle luring children. The Brantford Police Service would like to take this opportunity to encourage parents to continue to educate and speak to their children about the dangers and risks of everyday personal safety.

Lights Fest crowds a big surprise to locals

By Jim Windle OHSWEKEN — It looked like someone put on another Woodstock at Ohsweken, and forgot tell anyone from Ohsweken they were coming.

It was like an invasion of primarily young people from throughout Southern Ontario. At around 3 pm the traffic on Chiefswood Road began backing up over the bridge to the Highway 54 traffic lights. Soon it was bumper to bumper all the way from the Speedway parking lot, down Pauline Johnson Road all the way to Wilson Road where cars were turning off the highway, dozens at a time.

By around 5:30, both Highway 54 East and West turning lanes onto Chiefswood Road were backed up as far as the eye could see in both directions. Off duty Six Nations Police began directing traffic on the side roads to speed up the miles long back ups.

As it turns out, when the well publicized Lights Fest Niagara Falls – St. Catharines event had its license pulled by the City at the last moment, Glenn Styres, who intended to attend the event, offered an alternative. Why not use his back yard, Ohsweken Speedway, instead?

A few frantic social media posts later, and there were more than 10,000 people on the road to Ohsweken, Saturday afternoon, bringing local and area traffic to a glacier’s pace for several hours.

“I personally don’t know if we were given the heads up or not,” Staff Sergeant Marwood White told TRT. “But I know we have a good association with the Speedway and we help with traffic on race nights.”

On race nights, there is also a lot of traffic to deal with, but Saturday it made all that look like a Sunday drive. Locals were not made aware of the tidal wave of cars that was coming their way,

All available parking was needed to accommodate an estimated 10,000 participants in ``The Lights Festival``.`` After the original host city suddenly cancelled their permit to hold the event, it was brought to the Ohsweken Speedway instead, unbeknownst to local residents, who were sometimes trapped in long lines of bumper-to-bumper traffic. PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE and many were not happy about it at all, posting their grievances, sometimes quite colourfully, up on social media.

Organizers of the world-wide social event anticipated that this year’s “The Lights Fest” would be the biggest yet which was proven true. After some music and inspirational messages came the climax with the release into the heavens of thousands of small candles mounted under paper bags acting as hot air balloons with personal messages written on them addressed to departed loved ones or to the earth itself.

“The Lights Festival™ is a magical evening that will create memories to last a lifetime,” says the official invitation sent out by organizers. “Come celebrate as we put our inhibitions to the side, and our dreams to the sky. In one night, you can change to what you want to become.

Let go of your fears, and embrace your true self.

Join us as we light the fire within.”

The invitations also inform first timers what to expect.

“At the perfect moment everyone ignites their personalized sky lanterns with Tiki torches and lets them take flight,” the article continues. “It creates a surreal ambiance, where time slows down and your single flame rises and joins with thousands of others to light the sky.”

“This is an event that is for everyone but cultivates individual experiences. Whether you're commemorating or celebrating you're creating a special memory that will last a lifetime.”

Although organizers say that the lights fest is “dedicated to leaving a positive impact on the environment and everyone who attends our event,” there are some neighbours down wind left to pick up paper bags and candle cups who might disagree.

The event is conducted in various countries and cities throughout the world. The lantern release is especially embraced by the Asian Community of Southwestern Ontario, to whom this kind of spiritual event is commonplace and quite familiar.

Pediatricians say kids, teens should avoid sports and energy drinks

TORONTO — Kids and teens should not drink sports or energy drinks, the Canadian Paediatric Society says in a new position released Tuesday that takes a stand against the sugary beverages.

Dr. Catherine Pound, co-author of the statement and a pediatrician at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, says caffeinated energy drinks in particular can pose serious health risks and are unnecessary for most young people. ``I wouldn't recommend them for anybody that �its our target population, which is anyone between the ages of zero and 18,'' said Pound, noting that one can of energy drink contains more caffeine than the regular type of brewed coffee.

Too much can be deadly, as apparently was the case of a South Carolina teen who collapsed April 26 after downing an energy drink, a large pop and a cafe latte within a

two-hour span.

Davis Cripe had no pre-existing heart condition but likely died from a caffeine-induced heart arrhythmia, said the local coroner.

The Canadian Paediatric Society had no of�icial position on the use of energy and sports drinks at the time, however had suggested young non-athletes avoid them.

It now explicitly makes the case against both caffeinated energy drinks and non-caffeinated sports drinks among youth, suggesting there are very few who would need such stimulants. ``A lot of people believe they're essential as part of rehydration for sports.

But what we're �inding is actually they're not — water is ideal for rehydration in sport,'' said Pound, adding that doctors should routinely screen for their use. ``Only in the very speci�ic subset of the population will they be useful and that's the population of children that will

perform very vigorous activity for over an hour or in very hot and humid weather.''

The other danger is mixing energy drinks with alcohol, said Pound, adding that those who do so tend to participate in high-risk behaviour such as illicit drug use.

Caffeinated energy drinks claim to boost energy, reduce fatigue and improve concentration. The amount of caffeine typically exceeds Health Canada's maximum daily intake for kids.

Pound cautioned against side effects, which include dif�iculty sleeping, increased anxiety, heart rhythm abnormalities, vomiting and diarrhea.

Sports drinks, which contain a mixture of sugars and electrolytes, are often marketed as �luid replacements during sports or vigorous physical activity.

But statement co-author Becky Blair, a member of Dietitians of Canada, said

these drinks contribute to obesity and dental cavities. ``It's just really an extra source of calories for children that they don't need,'' said Blair, who'd like to see legislation to prevent marketing of caffeinated energy

drinks to children and adolescents. ``All they really need for hydration is just drinking water and eating a balanced diet.''

Pound said it's worth considering an even tougher stand against energy drinks, musing on

the value of restricting use to adults, like alcohol: ``I don't think it would be a bad idea at all.''

The American Academy of Pediatrics came out against kids and youth using energy drinks in 2011.

Canadian police seek recalled Vatican envoy for child porn

By Nicole Winfield And Rachel Zoll (AP) VATICAN CITY — Canadian police have issued an arrest warrant for the Vatican diplomat who was recalled from the United States in a child pornography investigation, accusing him of accessing porn over Christmas last year from a church.

Police in Windsor, Ontario, said Carlo Capella, a 50-year-old monsignor from Italy, allegedly uploaded the child porn to a social networking site while visiting a place of worship in Windsor between Dec. 24 and Dec. 27.

The Vatican recalled Capella, the No. 4 official in its Washington embassy, after the U.S. State Department notified it Aug. 21 of a ``possible violation of laws relating to child pornography images'' by one of its diplomats in Washington.

It never identified Capella by name and provided no details of the accusations, sparking criticism from U.S. church officials who have been under fire for decades of coverups of priestly sex abusers.

Windsor police provided the most information about the case in a statement Thursday announcing the arrest warrant, and the archdiocese of London, Ontario, confirmed it had assisted authorities in the investigation of ``Msgr. Capella.''

In the statement, Windsor police accused Capella

of accessing, possessing and distributing child pornography. It said authorities were alerted in February that someone in Windsor had allegedly uploaded child porn using a social networking site.

They obtained records of the internet service provider and determined the dates in question. It said it had issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for Capella, though it noted that he had returned to Italy.

Capella is currently in Vatican City, though the Vatican hasn't said under what terms.

Canadian police declined to say if they had passed the case to Interpol or if Canada would initiate extradition proceedings.

The Vatican doesn't extradite its citizens, however.

In explaining its decision to recall the diplomat, as is common in such cases, the Vatican said its own criminal prosecutors were now investigating the case and seeking information from the U.S. At the time of the Sept.

15 announcement about Capella's recall, neither the Vatican nor the State Department made any mention of a Canadian angle to the case.

Capella was a high-ranking priest in the Vatican's diplomatic corps. He served on the Italy desk in the Vatican's secretariat of state and was part of the official delegation that negotiated a tax treaty with Italy

before being posted to the U.S. embassy last year.

A canon lawyer, Capella is listed online as having written a 2003 paper for the Pontifical Lateran University on priestly celibacy and the church's criminal code.

Several U.S. church officials have complained that the Vatican was being less than transparent about the case.

The head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo, urged the Holy See to be ``forthcoming with more details'' about the case, a reflection of how the U.S. church still struggles with credibility problems 15 years after the sex abuse scandal erupted in the U.S. The diplomat's recall was expected to loom over an international conference next week at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome on protecting children from online sexual exploitation, pornography and abuse.

Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state and Capella's boss, is to deliver the keynote speech Tuesday on ``The Holy See and its commitment to combating sex abuse online.''

Panelists at the conference, which was organized months ago, are to include top law enforcement and academic experts in the field of child protection and cybercrimes.

Documents show that a drop in energy prices has led to huge losses for Alberta owned off shore investment business.

One of the largest property developers in Alberta is in creditor protection after losing $67.3 million in the past three years following the oil downturn and troubles south of the border.

But Walton has also received several serious legal hits over its offshore real-estate investment practices. Their Asian offices were raided by

government banks and forced to close two of their biggest offices under charges of fraudulent investment practices.

Walton International Group Inc. and numerous related companies were granted protection from creditors last week by a Calgary judge, according to documents filed by court-appointed monitor Ernst & Young. This gives Walton time to restructure and resolve its debt problems.

The Calgary-based developer administers about 43,000 hectares of land in North America,

including 15 land development projects in Alberta and Ontario, and six in the U.S., according to an affidavit by chief executive William K. Doherty.

Locally, Walton has bought up large tracts of Tutela Heights and other acreage close by. It was then resold to Asian investors in packages, before being resold on the Canadian market at enormous profits.

New protective legislations have cut into this part of their business as well.

AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde on 5th Annual Orange Shirt Day: ‘Let’s Give Our Children Hope and Opportunity’

By TRT Staff OTTAWA – To mark Orange Shirt Day on September 30, in honour of former students of the Indian residential schools, Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Perry Bellegarde is asking all Canadians to learn more about this history, support meaningful change and affirm that ‘every child matters.’

“I’m proud to support Orange Shirt Day and raise awareness about that tragic time in Canada’s history when children were taken from their families and forced into residential schools,” said National Chief Bellegarde. “We remember the lasting harm they suffered, and commit to meaningful change to achieve reconciliation.

Every child deserves to be with their families in a safe and loving environment. Let’s make that our

goal, because every child matters.”

On the 5th Annual Orange Shirt Day, the AFN encourages everyone to learn more about this part of Canada’s history and to support measures that will change the situation for First Nations today.

“The residential schools may be gone but their legacy remains.

There are too many children in the child welfare system. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled that thousands of First Nations kids are in a child welfare system that gets significantly less funding than their provincial counterparts,” said National Chief Bellegarde. “We need to support First Nations child welfare agencies and ensure Canada complies with the CHRT ruling to provide fair and equitable funding for First Nations children.

Canadians show support and fear for edible cannabis products OTTAWA — A new survey shows that a majority of Canadians support the legalization of recreational cannabis but have serious concerns about children’s access to edibles.

Researchers at Dalhousie University in Halifax found about 68 per cent of people across the country favour the impending legalization of pot, with the bulk of that support in B.C. and Ontario.

Just over 45 per cent

said they would buy edible cannabis products.

However nearly 80 percent said they were concerned children could be at risk of accidental ingestion.

The aim of the survey, done over four weeks in August, was to gauge Canadians' perception of recreational marijuana as a food ingredient when it is legalized next July, if they would use it in their diet and, if so, how they would prepare it.

ment and action, we can give our children hope and opportunity and a chance to succeed. That is good for all of Canada.”

Orange Shirt Day is marked every year on September 30, which evolved from the St. Joseph Mission Residential School Commemoration Project and Reunion events in Williams Lake, BC, in 2013. Phyllis Webstad shared a story from her time at residential school when her new orange shirt, a gift from her grandmother, was taken from her and it seemed no one cared. The orange shirt is now emblematic of the harm experienced by children in residential schools. The date is significant because it is this time of year when many children were taken from their homes to residential schools. September 30 is a day for remembrance, reflection, and reconciliation.

First Howling Moons Festival commences oral history that ties in with each pose and form.

The immersive nature of the event also transferred to a meal, as Char Hemlock catered a feast that ended the day and allowed participants to taste some traditional foods.

Fleming explained that the purpose behind the event and the creation of the TSSC was to help bridge the gap in cultural programming in Hamilton.

“Both of us felt like there was a gap in available cultural program-

ming in the city,” said Fleming, as she motioned to Glaw. “There's stuff in Toronto, there's stuff in Six Nations, [but] we didn't feel like we could access the programming we wanted [close to home].”

As cultural programming and activities are very prevalent in the Toronto and Brantford area, the TSSC hopes to bring much and more of the same to the Hamilton area where over and estimated 15,000 residents are indigenous. The collective focus of the TSSC

was noticed by many in attendance, including McMaster student Piers Kreps.

“It was awesome,” said Kreps. “I think it's really good to have indigenous art featured in Hamilton.

A lot of us [students] actually have to commute to Toronto to catch indigenous performances, but having it here in the city makes it that much easier.”

It is hoped that future Howling Moons Festivals will only get better and better.

By Chezney Martin HAMILTON – What is hoped to be the first of many; the Howling Moons Festival filled the space of the Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts Recital Hall with entertainment from indigenous artists in the evening of Saturday, September 30.

With the support of the City of Hamilton Canada 150 Fund and the Ontario Arts Council; the event was hosted by Jessie Goyette of Metis and Algonquin descent with performances by Mohawk and Jamaican hip hop artist Chllly, a set by Blackfoot, Cree and Ojibway DJ Ariel and headlined by Cree, Dene and Irish artist Iskwe. The

event was also backed by a powerful duo.

Known as the founders of The Sweetgrass Sisters Collective (TSSC), both Jasmin Glaw of Algonquin and German ancestry and Jessica Lea Fleming of Metis and Scottish ancestry began the collective in January of 2017 to help invoke connection, create opportunity and celebrate indigenous people and indigenous culture in the Hamilton area. This was their first step.

“During the day we were at the Art Gallery of Hamilton,” said Fleming.

“The premise of the daytime programming was to bring people together to kind of learn more about our traditions.”

The duo organized

a knowledge-keeper named Bear Standing-Tall from the Onion Lake Cree Nation to speak and Nimkii Wasalamik and Lucas Isaacs, who are a part of the DNA Stage and facilitated a hoop dance presentation as well as a traditional hand-drumming presentation for those in attendance.

“I think what was so special about today is that they did a lot of really incredible audience engagement,” said Glaw. “So they had people volunteer to come up and they were teaching different elements of the hoop dance.”

This also allowed participants to understand that different poses and forms in the dance mean something, and also the

Corvairs fire 138 shots — get 9 goals and 2 wins

By Jim Windle CALEDONIA — The Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs took two of three games last week and remain two points behind the St. Catharines Falcons, as of Tuesday. Caledonia still holds one game in hand heading into this week’s games.

Whether it is by design or coincidence, the Corvairs have a habit of massively outshooting everybody but not blowing out anybody.

Case in point was Sunday’s 2-1 win in Welland after outshooting the Jr. B Canadians 50-15. If those official stats are accurate, Welland goalie Charles Grimard, should have received a gold medal after the game, despite the loss.

This past week alone, the Corvairs have registered 138 shots on goal compared to a total 58 shots on goal for their three opponents combined. But they will happily take the four points and try their best to forget about their first loss.

Sunday, in Welland, Adam Craievich finally got one past Grimard at 8:18 of the first period.

The Corvairs were looking for a big win Thursday to help soothe the wounds after losing their first game of the season, 4-2 at the hands of the St. Catharines Falcons, last Tuesday night at the Haldimand Centre Arena.

They got it by dominating the Ancaster Avalanche, 5-2 at the Morgan Firestone Arena.

Although Caledonia outshot the Av’s 14-6 in the first period, they could only get two past Ryan Dugas while Pierce Charleson gave up one on six Ancaster shots.

Each team added a goal

in the much more evenly played second period to enter the final 20 minutes with Caledonia holding a 2-1 lead. Eddie Schultz and Jesse Barwell added late period goals to win the match, 5-2, after a barrage of 14 of shots, on goal compared to only three by the Av’s in the final frame.

Scoring for Caledonia were TL Hughes, Jesse Barwell, Adam Craievich, Andrew Burns and Eddie Schulz.

Falcon’s goaltender Owen Savory put on a show facing 51 shots and standing tall on 49 of them.

Territorially, the Corvairs were all over the Falcons but could not solve Savory.

That’s not to say Caledonia’s Brandon McCorriston took the night off.

He faced 25 shots at his

end.

The Corvairs took the first five penalties of the game and Tanner Ferreira capitalized on one of them to give St. Catharines a 1-0 lead. Ten minutes later, at 17:19, Bailey Fletcher evened the score from Sean O’Brien and Dorian Maye.

Caledonia got burned again with a Falcons’ powerplay goal at 8:30 of the second period and St. Kitts had a 2-1 lead with 20 minutes left.

Another St. Catharines powerplay goal opened the third period giving the Falcons a two-goal lead. Joshua DeFarias netted a Caledonia powerplay marker with 9:23 to go and it was a 3-2 game.

Despite outshooting St. Catharines 21-5 in the third period, no one could buy a goal, as Savory was spectacular. Then, with an extra man on the ice and an empty net, Lukas Smilsky buried an empty netter at 17:52 for the 4-2 final score, and the Corvairs first taste of defeat so far this season.

The Pro-Fit Corvairs will stay on the road with an excursion to Thorold, Thursday. Oct. 5th before hosting the Welland Canadians Sat. Oct. 7th, at 7:30. They will be in Buffalo, Tues. night Oct. 10th.

Hagersville Hawks calm the Storm 8-2

By Jim Windle

HAGERSVILLE — The Jr. C Hagersville Hawks are five games into the new season and have record of two wins and three losses after Saturday’s 8-2 win over the visiting Simcoe Storm.

It was an ugly game with lots of stoppages, distain for referees, head checks and fights, but in the end, Hagersville prevailed.

Hagersville outskated the Storm all night, especially in the third period.

Ralph Taggart scored for Hagersville at 2:17 of the first period from Cam Allan which Ryan Frost responded to with Simcoe’s first goal of the night. Allen scored a powerplay marker at 19:19 to take 2-1 first pe-

riod lead.

In a fight filled second period, Hagersville scored the only second frame goal with Harrison Larochelle netting a powerplay goal for the 3-1 two period score.

Hagersville made it 4-1 at 7:44, unassisted, but Simcoe answered seconds later for the Storm with Austin Slaney accounting for Simcoe’s last goal of the game. From there, it was all Hawks as Keaton Young, James Bradshaw, Wesley Fritz and Riley Pinkney piled on for the 8-2 win.

The Hawks are back in action, Friday night in Dunville to face the Mudcats. Saturday they return to the Hagersville arena against the Dundas Blues.

Family of lacrosse legend donates books

By Chezney Martin

OHSWEKEN – As several awards await to be awarded to the late Gaylord Powless, his daughter Gaylene Powless has been hard at work with getting over 1200 copies of “Absolute Pressure,” featuring Canada's Sports Hall of Fame and 2017 Souvenir Sports Novel by Sigmund Brouwer to be given to students at elementary schools on Six Nations and New Credit.

The books not only include Hall of Fame sports icons including Powless's father, but also offer an inspiring novel for youth to read on how sports can affect and direct a future for young athletes printed by Schlumberger.

Powless hopes to deliver the books from grades four to eight and beyond, and has already delivered books to E.C.G. and I.L. Thomas. She visited J.C. Hill to deliver books on Friday, September 29, and gave the students from

Gaylene Powless offered the books by hand for her son Kahner Martin's class, and will offer 1200 copies of sports feature `Absolute Pressure` by Sigmund Brouwer to elementary students on Six Nations and New Credit as a means of sharing the inspiration from athletes including her father Gaylord Powless. PHOTOS BY CHEZNEY MARTIN her son Kahner Martin's class books straight from the box.

“I want to have enough to give to everyone,” said Powless.

She made sure to have over one thousand copies of the books so that each student will receive one,

and said that being able to organize the donation “feels great.”

“It's the company [that donated the books], but to be able to pull that together I think it's a great thing,” she said. “This year [the company's focus] is to inspire youth in

With just a phone call and some organization, she was able to get the books donated as a means of keeping sports role models active within the schools. As many youth within Six Nations and New Credit have represented provincial and national teams such as in the Native American Indigenous Games in the past, the books seem to be very timely.

But, along with the re-

veal of the book donation; Powless's father will be receiving special recognition in the near future.

He will be receiving the Dreamcatcher Sports Award which will be awarded in October and to be inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame in Toronto in November.

“It's overwhelming, because to me he was just my dad. I didn't think of him as this famous guy,” she marvelled. “It's different to see this big spot light on him, but it's humbling.”

Powless will be reciting a speech at the induc-

tion ceremony in honour of her father, and the donations of the books helps to continue her father's and other athletes impact as a sports role models for young athletes.

Wrestling takes the night in Hagersville again

By Chezney Martin HAGERSVILLE – A Friday night full of live-pro wrestling called in a full crowd of over 150 spectators from Hagersville and the surrounding area to the Hagersville Community Hall.

Cars filled not only the parking lot, but also the surrounding road sides as wrestling fans piled into the building to watch the likes of Funk E.Fresh and “Cuban Sensation” Elian Habanero.

Show co-ordinator and promoter Shayne Maracle said that because the first wrestling event, held in June, saw so much success — he hopes to organize similar wrestling events.

“Our plan is to have [these events] almost quarterly,” said Maracle. “We want to have it enough where the wrestling fans can have something to look forwards to.”

Maracle explained that June’s event had many wrestling fans asking when the next event would be. This helped to prove that they would have a consistent fan base arriving Friday night when the doors opened.

This time the event held a special ring podcast hosted by Zakk Atticus and special guest Beautiful Beaa, and the list of matches was bigger.

“There's a few wrestlers here from last time and there's new additions,” Maracle said.

The night offered matches between “Wild” Zebra Kid Vs. “BMD” Bret Michael David, “Devils Hitman” Nick Watts Vs. “Cuban Sensation” Elian Habanero, Funk E. Fresh

Vs. “Riot Maker” Holden Albright, Joszef Alexiev with Baron Igor Sonavich Vs. Freedom Wallace, “EZE” Eric Cairnie Vs. “High Risk Hero” Rip Impact and the main event “Mr Oh So T.O.” Anthony Fiasco Vs. “Anarchy” Ad Hutchinson.

Maracle explained that this time they also got some new upgrades which included ring lighting and stage lighting to help enhance the experience for spectators and photographers.

As a wrestling fan himself Maracle says he feels “really good” about being able to bring the event back.

“I feel really good,” said Maracle. “Nerves got me the first time, like 'does the city really want it back?’ Is it a one time thing?' There were a lot of unanswered questions from last time and a group of us thought — ‘you know what… let's do it again.’ And the interest is outstanding. Tons of people are here, tons of people are loving it.”

As SKM Promotions is in it's first year of being an independent company, Maracle hopes those that are interested in checking out the event will keep their ears to the ground for future dates – there will be more.

US government sues Guam over indigenous land law HAGATNA — The U.S. government has filed a lawsuit against Guam and the island's Chamorro Land Trust Commission saying the territory's government has violated provisions of the federal Fair Housing Act. The lawsuit filed on Friday says that Guam's Chamorro Land Trust Act, which holds public land for the benefit of the island’s indigenous people, has discriminated on the basis of race or national origin, the Pacific Daily News reported The U.S. territory's law allows the Chamorro people to apply for residential and agricultural leases of

that land. The commission also leases some of the land for commercial purposes to non-indigenous people in order to generate revenue.

As an example of the law's discriminating practices, the lawsuit outlined the case of a non-indigenous man married to a Chamorro woman who lost his home on a landtrust plot after his wife died. The lawsuit stated that the commission evicted the man following a hearing on his claim because he was not native to Guam.

The lawsuit asked the federal court to prohibit Guam's practices it claims

are discriminatory. The lawsuit also called for monetary damages to be awarded to those harmed by the law.

Guam Gov. Eddie Calvo said they plan to fight the lawsuit. ``It's clear that they don't understand or don't care about the reason behind the creation of the Chamorro Land Trust's Commission,'' Calvo said. ``We must allow the native inhabitants of this land the opportunity to build a home and live on their native land - and I have no compunction about fighting this out in court.''
