Grant recipients announced

By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS — The names of ten successful applicants for a second round of grants issued by the Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Trust has been announced.

The Six Nations Book Club, Christ Anglican Church, Chapel of the Delaware, Friends of Stump Hall, Six Nations Writers, Haudenosaunee Ways of Life, Sweetgrass First Nations Council, Friends of the Jake Thomas Learning Centre, The Golden Spoon and Outlandish Experienc-

es will present details of their projects in a public presentation in June.

SNGRDC says community members are welcome to watch the presentations on June 15 from 9:00 a.m to 2:00 p.m. at the Six Nations Tourism building.

The EDT allocated $150,00.00 for the Second Call for Grassroots applications in 2019. A total of 10 applications were submitted, with a total request of $105,648.42. Any surplus funds will be utilized in the 2020 Call for Applications which is anticipated to launch in July 2019. From

these applications, all 10 were deemed complete.

Successful recipients will be notified on July 8, 2019.

Once recipients complete and return the funding agreements, they will then have from July 8 to December 1, 2019 to utilize the approved funds.

Since 2016, the Economic Development Trust has invested over $9.4 million into Six Nations through annual distributions of surplus profits by the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC).

Nahnda Garlow, Nick Wyman and Derek Miller were chosen after a community callout for volunteers was posted.

“A committee was established, made up of Six Nations members and a Haudenosaunee industry expert, to oversee the

selection process and recommend commission members to SNEC,” said the Elected Council in a statement.

The commission sits at an arms-length to the elected council and will administer Six Nations Cannabis Laws.

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — A group of about 25 people rallied out front of Six Nations Elected Council’s Central Administration building on Monday morning, preventing anyone from accessing the building.

The group says the action was done in solidarity with nationwide protests against the federal governments Indigenous Rights, Recognition and Implementation Framework.

Demonstrators put up posters on the Elected Council building’s sign calling Six Nations Elected Council Chief Ava Hill and Senior Administrative Officer Dayle Bomberry “traitors”.

attendance, however they declined an interview.

Several videos were posted to social media Monday showing Bomberry and SNEC member Melba Thomas at the Cen-

tral Admin building being ridiculed and refused entry by a group of about 15 people blocking the doorway.

In one video, Thomas was taunted by protesters.

One man, who identified himself as an Annishnabe person not from Six Nations could be seen challenging Thomas, who has served as an elected councillor since 2004,

questioning her indigenous identity.

“Are you Canadian or Haudenosaunee,” asked the unidentified male.

Thomas began to answer but was interrupted by the man shouting, “You know what the sad part about that is? That’s an Annishnabe man asking you this!”

The crowd surrounding them then burst into laughter. He is then shown shouting further accusations to Thomas, suggesting that he was on Six Nations as an ally to the protesters to support his friends because “it could be my land you’re coming after next.”

Thomas turned to the group and said, “Encourage the Confederacy to meet, then we can have one government.”

The group then is shown shouting back at

One Year Career Growth Opportunity: Assistant Program Coordinator Education Services requires an Assistant Program Coordinator (APC) in our Indigenous Students Health Sciences (ISHS) office. The APC plays a vital role in the daily delivery of ISHS student programs and services. In this role the APC is often the first point of contact with Indigenous students within health sciences at McMaster.

They play an important role in the welcoming of new learners and guidance on admissions and transition into McMaster and onto career. This role has been designated Indigenous (Inuit/Métis /First Nations) specific. The position reports to the ISHS Director and Program Coordinator.

Councillor Mark Hill said that he supports diversity on Six Nations while speaking to protestors who say they are being forced to PHOTO BY JONATHAN GARLOW vote in a foreign system.

SNEC shutdown continued now they think they can walk through us.”

SNEC member Mark Hill attended the protest to speak with Martin and other community members who were blocking access to the building.

“People are trying to push us to vote,” said another protester, Jacqueline House. “Traditional people are saying ‘get out there and vote’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t wanna vote.’

Why are you forcing my hands. It feels like I’m being accosted to say if you don’t vote for this yea or nay it doesn’t matter what you think. But that’s not true.”

Hill said, “We’re diverse now. We have a very diverse community today.

It’s personal choice really when it comes down to it. We all have a personal choice to make a decision for ourselves.”

“But we also have a responsibility,” said House.

“My point is to being respectful of the inclusion of the diverse people who are still Ongwehonwe,” said Hill.

The group of protesters told Hill that they believe Six Nations band members who support

the Elected system are no longer included as Haudenosaunee people.

By Monday evening protesters had distributed letters saying they were seeking the Elected Council to formally recognize the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council as the legitimate government of Six Nations of the Grand River.

The protesters remained on site through the night and all day Tuesday with no word on when the blockade would conclude or what they wanted to see happen.

No clear objective was asserted as to why the group was preventing access to the building. One of the people supporting the action said that there were several concerns from community members that they wanted to have addressed — including SAO Bomberry’s employment, an ongoing soil dumping issue and requesting a meeting with the entire Elected Council along with Chief Hill and Bomberry.

TRT reached out to SNEC for a statement but they did not respond by press time.

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

Letters to the Editor

Respect for diversity A few weeks ago I wrote an editorial, illustrating an example of cultural bullying. After the story was published a group of Six Nations people put my own identity under the microscope.

A discussion ensued online and one man went so far as to suggest that I have no place to speak as an indigenous person because I am mixed and that I should kill myself.

That comment that was liked by a number of Haudenosaunee women from Six Nations that I have considered lifelong friends. Some of them even went as far as to defend the man’s statement, tried to convince me that I didn’t read it correctly and when I showed them proof — they accused me of lying about it for attention.

What followed for me, was a three day mental breakdown. I have struggled with suicidal thoughts in my past. Something I am sure the original poster and ‘likers’ didn’t know.

Thankfully Six Nations has vital mental health services for people struggling with suicidal thoughts to reach out to in a time of crisis. I called the mobile crisis line and was able to talk to a real person from Six Nations right away who knew the situation in the community.

Social media can be so damaging to our struggles as a community. When you pair this with evil rhetoric, measuring who belongs and who doesn’t, or spreading false information to rile a group of people — it is literally poisoning us. Psychologists actually call this ‘poisoning the well’.

Last week the new target was SNEC member Audrey Powless-Bomberry.

A meme was created and distributed online saying she spoke at a meeting in Fort Erie, declaring “most” of the people at Six Nations were “oppossed” to the HCCC. Several people shared that image and the false information around the community, upsetting people and inflicting harm on a community member.

Most of the people who grew up on Six Nations know the councillor as “APB”. She was at the forefront of getting hundreds of the community’s children out of asbestos contaminated buildings in the 1980s and have new

schools built on the territory.

APB says she did not say most people are opposed to the HCCC, but said most people on the territory do not support the HCCC. While it might seem like a minor difference — the shifting of one word in the absence of context and evidence matters a lot. Not supporting someone is vastly different than opposing them.

It seems in our own little corner of the world we’re being gaslit by specific people who are politically motivated.

Rile the base by appointing an enemy.

On Monday, SNEC member Melba Thomas was next, getting harassed by an unidentified man and called a “motherf**ker” by protesters preventing her access to the Central Administration building.

Ironically — a number of the same protesters were the ones gathered outside of the NRL’s reinforcement line completion blocking access to A6N workers and launching the cultural bullying attack I mentioned earlier.

The same people who later suggested that I end my life. The same group of people who blocked Sixth Line in 2018.

The same people who blocked access to the Burtch property in 2016 over tobacco farming.

Time after time, roadblock after roadblock what emerges is a common narrative. Personal attacks on people’s indigenous identity, questioning what their Haudenosaunee values are, demands the SNEC submit to the HCCC and stories of protesters attacking people who publicly speak out against them for having a differing opinion.

We are not a community divided.

That concept carries a negative connotation that we all should think the same way. That is conformity. That is not our way.

We as Haudenosaunee have always been, and always will be, diverse. That is our strength. And finding healthy ways to communicate with one another, respecting our autonomy to original thought — that is using a good mind.

Standing to preserve culture Disambiguation May 27, 2019 Please accept this my information as the underlying causes that precipitated the “blocking of access” to the Administration Building.

The Cause of Universal Justice, International Human Rights and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) have now been accepted widely among “players” at International Forums. The Peacemaker in conjunction with our families established a protocol of peace and wellness. The success or failure of these efforts are on going and shall be the legacy of this generation to the future generations.

To understand the gravity of this challenge the writer asks that you look your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. in the face and say that I am doing my very best for their benefit and wellbeing. This then becomes our common goal.

Forces both historic and contemporary that have undermined our goal are many.

The Doctrine of Discovery set in place by way of Roman Catholic Papal Bulls, the notion that the Kings of Europe had a “God Given Right” to the lands possessed by non-Christians. France claimed all lands drained by the St. Laurence River (Great Lakes Basin – Bea-

ver Bowl). The Dutch claimed Island of Manhattan. The English by way of Henry Hudson claimed the lands drained by the Hudson River. These claims of discovery, initiated the now, long standing conflict with Europe’s Settlers.

Our presence of the Grand River is the result of many generations of resistance to those who are in the business of dispossessing our families (“Our Nations”). It is not “Nations” that are dispossessed but people of our families (that adhere to the “Cultural Patterns of the People”).

We are being forced off the land (one at a time if need be to accomplish the objective of removal). The Cherokee removal act of Andrew Jackson era or the removal policy of General George Washington with his Generals Sullivan and Clinton are hardships that our families have endured. Removal of people requires firstly the notion then the deed. Once the notion is accomplished then the deed fallows, hidden as an accomplished fact. Public opinion need not be the result of “Canada’s Indian Act” policies (deeds). “Canada’s Indian Act” polices are a flashpoint of resistance to the harmful affect of those imminent deeds.

Our internal dialogue and discourse is encouraged

(Advisably take a closer inspection and analysis of our present situation and what benefit to our future (future generations).

In this effort, let us be attentive to the ambiguity of the “English Language”.

This ambiguity is intentional and by design. Our ancestors called it the fork tongue. That evaluation is as true now as it was then.

Contemporary usage of the fork tongue by both Justine Trudeau and Donald Trump are evident.

The concept of culture in present usage is limiting at best, propaganda at its worst. Culture is greater than visual and preforming arts. Culture is the interaction within the people and interaction with their environment (Our Way of Life-acts of being).

Our Indigenous World View expressed in our cultural practices is what is at issue today. Through Indian Affairs, bureaucrats (Band Councils and Band Administration) are in the business of changing our “cultural patterns”. Let us stand together against efforts and policies aimed at changing “our cultural patterns” and reclaim the inheritance of our ancient ways handed down to us their children for the benefit of our future, generations yet to come.

Why the Haldimand Proclamation can never be repealed

By Doug Whitlow The Haldimand Proclamation of 1784 proclaims that the Mohawk Nation and others of the Six Nation Indians have been granted, by His Majesty King George — the River Ouse, now called the Grand River, and all the land on both sides of the river extending out for a distance of six miles from the mouth of the River to its source — forever.

It goes on to state that the river and the land shall be ours and and our posterity to Enjoy Forever.

The Canadian Government appears to be unable to grasp the concept of forever.

The Haldimand Proclamation has never been repealed by Canada or the British Crown and as such, remains in effect to this day. The wording of the document states that the land in question here shall continue to be ours tomorrow and forever as long as there are Iroquois people living along the River.

As this article is being composed, in the village of Ohsweken there is a protest under way in and around the Six Nations Elected Council’s Central Administration Office on Chiefswood Road. These

protests flare up from time to time due to the fact that many Six Nations Residents and others do not understand exactly to whom the Haldimand Tract was granted to by the British Monarchy in 1784.

The Haldimand Proclamation states that the land in question was Granted to the Mohawk people and others who would accompany Captain Joseph Brant

each and every one of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy.

The land and water in the tract was not granted to the Six Nations Confederacy Chiefs Council.

There are many people here in the Haldimand Tract and elsewhere who claim that the Six Nations Hereditary Chiefs Council was the first government established here at some point just after Joseph

Christian Indians; they did not bring the Longhouse Religion with them as when Brant and his people arrived (The code of Handsome Lake had not yet been conceived then); they were part of the Anglican Church or the Church of England. The truth of this statement can be seen by the naked eye of anyone who will just travel to the site of Brant’s original village next to

to this area from their old home along the Mohawk River in what had become, the State of New York, in 1784 the area was one of Thirteen States of the new country called the United States of America.

The land stretching out for six miles on either side of the River Ouse, as the waterway was called then, and the River bed itself now belonged to those Mohawks and others who were under the command and control of Captain Brant. The land and the water in the Haldimand Tract was not granted to

Brant and people arrived here from New York State.

That statement is also not true. Captain Joseph Brant of the British Continental Army of North America established himself and his British Army Lieutenants as the First and Original Military Governors of the first settlement at what was then called, Brant’s Ford where the Lorne Bridge now stands over the Grand River in the City of Brantford. In 1784 when Brant and those soldiers and citizens under his command arrived along the Grand River as

the old Indian Residential School, the Mush Hole, and the beholder will see the Mohawk Chapel. This is a Royal Chapel which had been originally built for Captain Joseph Brant and his followers both Indian and white alike. The Chapel was built for them by the British Government of North America as a Symbol of Respect for the continued Allegiance of the Mohawk's and others to the British Monarchy.

There is another a segment to this story which must be added. In the year 1701, the original Five

The Haldimand Proclamation has never been repealed by Canada or the British Crown and as such, remains in effect to this day. The wording of the document states that the land in question here shall continue to be ours tomorrow and forever as long as there are Iroquois people living along the River.

Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy entered into a Treaty with the British Government — the Nan Fan Treaty of 1701.

This Treaty by which the British Government was granted use of the land laid out in the Treaty, gave the Five Nations of Iroquois the Legal Right to Hunt; Fish and Harvest Wild Life and Natural Medicines on the land and in the water from: a point in Lake Ontario Westward through the Niagara River to Lake Erie following a line south of the North Shore of Lake Erie to the St. Claire River near Detroit. The line then travels northward to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay up to the North Shore of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. From that point the Boundary of the Treaty travels eastward to a point somewhere East of Sudbury and due South from that point to the starting point in Lake Ontario up to the Southern Shore of the Severn River. That was the Boundary of the original 1701 Nan Fan Treaty.

Today the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) fixes the Eastern Boundary in Lake Ontario where the Canadian and U S Boundaries meet and Westward and Northward along the lines mentioned

above. However; the Western Boundary of today continues north from the St. Claire River north to a point in Georgian Bay which coincides with the Southern Shore of the Severn River. The MNR Boundary does not give Six Nations people access to the water of the River.

Likewise, as the Eastern Boundary travels south to the Western shore of Lake Simcoe, the MNR does not allow Six Nations access to the waters of the Lake.

Where the Boundary of the original Treaty gave Six Nations access to land well east of Toronto; the MNR draws the eastern Boundary from the Western Shore of Lake Simcoe south to Yonge Street in Toronto and on down to the Canadian/American Border in Lake Ontario.

In 1701, the Five Nations of Iroquois controlled all the land and water inside the boundaries of the Treaty. Also at that time in 1701 the areas laid out in the Nan Fan Treaty were considered by the British Monarchy to be owned and controlled by the Five Nations of Iroquois and not the Mississaugas of the Credit as they now claim the area of land and water described above.

RCMP allege 17 children abused on Manitoba First Nation CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

WINNIPEG — Two men and a foster mother have been charged following an investigation that police say found at least 17 children who were sexually and physically abused in a Manitoba Indigenous community. ``This is absolutely horrific allegations,'' Families Minister Heather Stefanson said Thursday. ``Cer-

tainly, our thoughts and prayers and sympathies go out to all the children and the communities and the families that are affected.''

RCMP said they received three complaints between December 2017 and June 2018 that children from the Garden Hill First Nation had been sexually assaulted.

In February 2018, Paul Bruce Harper was charged with multiple sexual offences.

Major Crime Services, said officers learned that Harper had access to a foster home in the fly-in community in northeastern Manitoba. It became clear the investigation was about to get a lot larger. ``We became increasingly concerned that there was a potential for more victims due to the number of children who were in

the care of this foster home throughout the years,'' Koppang said at a news conference at RCMP headquarters in Winnipeg.

Mounties worked with Child and Family Services and interviewed or assessed more than 150 children.

After an 11-month investigation, officers determined 14 other children

OTTAWA — New Canadians will soon swear to honour the rights of Indigenous Peoples if a proposed legislative change is adopted.

Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen has introduced a bill that contains

new language for the oath of citizenship that includes a pledge for new citizens to faithfully observe the laws of Canada, including the Constitution, which ``recognizes and affirms the Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples.''

Hussen says the proposal demonstrates the Liberal government's

commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and a renewed relationship based on the recognition of rights, respect and co-operation.

It is also a response to one of the 94 calls for action issued by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which spent six years probing Canada's CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Citizenship oath continued residential-school legacy. ``New Canadians, when they take that oath, it means so much to them,'' Hussen told reporters Tuesday. ``The changing of the oath to reflect Call to Action No. 94 will embed in them an understanding of just how important it is for Canada to recognize and for new Canadians to recognize both the treaties and the recognition of Indigenous peoples.''

Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett said the change demonstrates to all Canadians, including the country's newest citizens, that Indigenous and treaty rights are an essential part of the country's character.

The commission delivered its calls to action in December 2015, which included a recommendation to update the language of the oath of citizenship to include a recognition of Indigenous treaty rights.

When asked why the change was so long in the making, Hussen said he did consider it a priority, but that it took time to consult with all Indigenous partners and parliamentarians to ensure broad consensus on the wording. ``The issue was we needed to take the time to do it right and to get the right language, to get the most inclusive language available.''

Sen. Murray Sinclair, who chaired the commission, says he welcomes the government's legislation to change the oath, saying it reflects a ``more inclusive history of Canada.''

As for whether the bill will pass in the brief time left in the parliamentary calendar before this fall's election, Hussen acknowledged it would require co-operation from all parties in the House of Commons and Senate to allow for speedy passage.

Assault charges for Onigaming death ONIGAMING FIRST NATION — Provincial police say a man has been charged with aggravated assault in the death of a 42-yearold from northwestern Ontario.

Investigators say the remains of Clayton Bob were found near a road in Onigaming First Nation on May 7.

They say officers have since charged a 28-year-old man with aggravated assault.

A Mohawk Perspective This is a letter we re-publishing writer by the late Bill Squire.

Squire was a key figure in keeping alive the legacy of the Mohawk Workers. Agree or disagree, it is still a challenging read.

As the Haldimand suggests, the Mohawk of Grand River are under a different footing than others of the Six Nations.

Maybe I can explain why, but first I need to comment about the negotiations between the federal government, the province of Ontario, Elected Council and the Six Nations Confederacy.

I find it very ironic that the parties at the negotiating table have no treaties and yet believe that they have rights to dispose of Haldimand lands.

I suggest with research, anyone can find that the Six Nations do in fact have treaties of their very own, the treaty of Canandaigua in 1794 and the Buffalo Creek Treaty of May 20, 1842.

These treaties are with the United States and signed by the Chiefs and Warriors of the Six Nations with no Mohawk signatories or Mohawk participation.

On April 7, 1779, a registered document was delivered to the Mohawk called the Haldimand

Pledge promising Mohawks for our steady attachment to the King’s service and for loss of our lands during the war Haldimand wrote “the same should be restored at the expense of the government to the state they were in before these war’s broke out.” Then in 1784 the Haldimand patent was manifested which bears the Crown Seal of England.

We would like people to know Mohawks are in possession of the original Haldimand document and do not support or condone the present day negotiations under Canada’s land claim policies.

I’ll explain why.

Mohawks walked out of the negotiations at a time when the Six Nations Confederacy accepted a band council resolution to take the lead roll and accept funding, putting the Confederacy under Indian Act status and to this very day have not projected any sort of sovereign stand as a government.

Mohawks are currently pursuing a land claim based on an application to the international court at The Hague, filed May 26, 1967: the Mohawk Nation against Canada, as successor of Great Britain.

This claim was filed by an international lawyer, Omar Z. Ghobashy, J.D., Ph. D., who said, “the act to provide for this

disposition of Indian land claims, registered June 21, 1965, in the House of Commons of Canada Bill C-123.”

By Canada setting its own appointed commission, the Canadian government is taking the dual position of defendant and judge and he advised the Mohawks that the Haldimand should never be subject to judicatory under this Act. Currently the courts of Canada only recognize the band council as the legal representatives of Six Nations lands allowing the county and the city of Brantford to negotiate land issues with the elected band council under the terms of the Indian Act or the Six Nations Confederacy under the terms of the Simcoe Deed of 1793 whom the signatories are the Chiefs of the Six Nations.

A map of Brantford surveyed by Lewis Burwell on January 26, 1833 clearly shows Brantford in possession of 807 acres and was completely surrounded by Mohawk farms and lands under lease. This then raises unanswered questions such as; “Was this land ever sold? Was it ever purchased? Were Mohawk land owners ever compensated? Were the leases ever paid?” leaving Mohawk lands disappearing and land questions

unresolved. This is a direct violation of Mohawk land rights and of our human rights therefore we as Mohawk people

13 are appealing for support from decent people to whom justice and peace is important. We are open to advice and advocacy in

our struggle to have our voices heard.

2019 TRENDS IN RVING THAT ARE TURNING HEADS SMALL MOTORHOMES AND VANS

OFF-ROAD RVS

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES

DELUXE KITCHENS

This has been a trend for the past couple of years but is even stronger today. Class B vans (or campervans), B+ (B-Plus) and Class C motorhomes are showing up in a variety of sizes, floor plans and price points for the RVer interested in keeping their footprint small and maintaining high mobility. Manufacturers have been announcing the sleek, small RVs that give the fanciest Toronto condo a run for its money. What’s great about these too, is the price point, with many fully outfitted motorhomes starting under $85,000. Oh, and did we mention they fit in regular parking spots, off-the-beaten-path locations and look amazing on Instagram? You bet they do.

Camping is all about getting outdoors, so it’s no wonder many RV brands are starting to integrate more livable outdoor spaces into their RV designs. We’re seeing a lot of outdoor entertainment set-ups with TVs and speaker systems along with exterior cocktail bars perfect for schmoozing with friends. Another fad we don’t see going away soon are outdoor patio areas found in larger trailers, fifth wheels and park models.

Use these for your morning sunrise and coffee or to hang out after a day of riding.

Speaking of “off-the-beaten-path,” rugged and off-road RVs are popping up everywhere and sure to get the outdoorsman excited. Many brands, old and new, have been announcing RV campers and motorhomes built specifically for off-pavement, and previously unreachable terrain. Some models feature rugged tires, high-clearance, compact structure and accessories that are ultra secure for those bouncy roads. Bodies are also designed to withstand a thrashing with rail guards and window coverings.

Utility add-ons such as roof racks and side gear mounts for bikes or surfboards are also common.

Your inner gourmet chef will be happy to know more and more RVs – especially park models – are being built with ultra deluxe kitchens and kitchen accessories. Residential-style stainless steel RV refrigerators are now seen in more along with larger ranges, wine fridges and even breakfast bars! And since camp cooking is so important to us RVers, more and more RVs feature an outdoor cooking station perfectly equipped to whip up an outdoor meal your guests will be raving about for weeks to come.

TECHNOLOGY AND ACCESSORIES

Of course, we can’t talk about trends without talking about tech. Expect to see more RV camper manufacturers integrating the latest technology into their RV layouts such as automated in-floor RV heating systems, under-mount RV air conditioning, smart audio setups and command system display panels with integrated smart phone apps. The future of camping is here, people!

RECREATIONAL VEHICLES ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE BASIC RV TYPES: courtesy of crva.ca

751 Old Highway 24, Waterford, Ontario N0E 1Y0 (519) 443-0875 Open Monday - Friday 7am - 5pm

Motorized RVs: An RV built on or as an integral part of a self-propelled motor vehicle chassis, combining transportation and living quarters in one complete unit.

• Class A Motorhome – The largest of the motorized RVs, is a luxury motorhome unit entirely constructed on a bare, specially designed motor vehicle chassis.

• Class B Motorhome (Camper Van) – The Class B Motorhome is generally referred to as a Camper Van. This unit is built using a conventional van to which a raised roof is added.

• Class C Motorhome – Sometimes referred to as a mini-motorhome, a unit built on an automotive manufactured chassis with an attached van cab section.

Towable RVs: An RV designed to be towed by a motorized vehicle (car, van or pickup truck) and is of such size and weight as not to require a special highway movement permit. Towable RVs do not require permanent on-site hookups.

• Travel Trailer – Sometimes referred to as a conventional travel trailer, a unit designed to be towed by a car, van or pickup by means of an equalizing frame hitch.

• Fifth-Wheel Trailer – A twolevel unit designed to be affixed and towed by a pickup truck equipped with a special 5th wheel hitch in the truck bed.

• Folding Camping Trailer – A lightweight unit with sides that collapse for towing and storage. This unit is also referred to as a Fold Down Trailer, Pop-up Trailer or Tent Trailer.

• Truck Camper – This small recreational vehicle unit is loaded onto, or affixed to, the bed or chassis of a pickup truck.

• Toy Hauler – This unit is known in the industry as a “Specialty Trailer”. It is a travel trailer or fifth wheel trailer with temporary living quarters in the forward section and compartment in rear for your ATV’s, motorcycles and other toys.

• Hybrid/Expandable Travel Trailers – Known in the industry as a “Hybrid Travel Trailer”, this is a conventional travel trailer with folding bunk ends.

Park Models: Park Models are available in two different classes: the Park Trailer 8’ Wide which is built to RV specifications, the CSA Z-240 Standard, or the Park Model 10’ to 16’ Wide, which is designed for seasonal use, generally in just one location, and built to the CSA Z-241 Standard.

• Park Trailer 8’ Wide – A unit designed to be towed by a heavy-duty tow vehicle (auto, van, pick-up truck, etc.) but is

of restricted size and weight so that it does not require a special highway movement permit. The maximum width when being towed is 2.6 meters (102 inches)(8.6ft).

Designed for infrequent towing, it is not fitted with a 12-volt system for fixtures and appliances. Once on site in the set-up mode it must be connected to the local utilities.

This recreational vehicle is built on a single chassis mounted on wheels. It usually has one or more slide-outs, but when in set-up mode the gross trailer area does not exceed 37.2 sq. meters (400 sq. feet).

It conforms to the CSA Z-240 Standard for RVs. • Park Model 10’ to 16’ Wide – It is built on a single chassis mounted on wheels, which may be removed and returned to the factory. The unit is designed to facilitate occasional relocation, with living quarters for a temporary residence or seasonal use, and must be connected to those utilities necessary for the operation of installed fixtures and appliances. It has a gross floor area not exceeding 50 square meters (approximately 540 sq. feet) in the set-up mode and has a width greater than 2.6 meters (8’ 6”) in the transit mode. Widths can be 10’, 12’, 14’ and 16’ generally.

Park Model units always require a special tow vehicle and a special permit to move on the road as the width of the unit is greater than 2.6 meters.

It conforms to the CSA Z-241 Standard for RVs.

SEND YOUR STORY TO TIPS@TWOROWTIMES.COM

Canada’s trucking and logistics industry is growing. It is hard to overstate the critical importance of the industry to Canada’s economy. Yet, shortages in key occupations such as drivers and mechanics put this industry at risk.

Recent research based on forecasts from the Conference Board of Canada estimate that a driver supply and demand gap of 34,000 by 2024.

In addition, many employers expect shortages for other key occupations – including dispatchers, senior managers, technicians, mechanics and more. The implementation of successful recruitment and retention strategies is more important than ever.

Yet, the fastest growing demographic in the country, Indigenous peoples, are largely under-represented across all occupations within the trucking and logistics industry. They represent a significant cant untapped labour in the industry, and employers who have implemented diversity and inclusion recruitment initiatives are reaping the benefits.

Indigenous Peoples comprise three groups: Inuit, Métis and First Nations.

Of Canada’s 1.5 million Indigenous peoples, 46% are under the age of 24, and more than half live in cities. Trucking HR Canada engaged with Indigenous communities and interviewed trucking and logistics employers to better understand their perspective on the industry and the opportunities that exist for recruitment and retention. The following pages highlight the findings of these interviews as well as practical steps to take should your fleet seek to increase its efforts to recruit and retain from a diverse labour pool.

Indigenous community representatives as well as Indigenous workers in the industry were interviewed on their current perspective with regards to the trucking and logistics industry. Their perception of the industry can be categorized as follows: assumptions, barriers to entry, careers and job opportunities, perceived challenges.

Assumptions about the Industry • Safety concerns – physical nature of the work, mechanical equipment • Not family friendly – stemming from perceived extended periods of time on the road • Lack of variety of work • Dual citizenship (ease of crossing US/CAN border) is viewed as a benefit

What Indigenous Peoples Look for in Careers and Jobs • Good pay and benefits • Regular hours (Monday to Friday); locations close to home• Flexible work opportunities • Opportunities for training, development and promotion • Work-life balance • Culturally diverse and sensitive workplaces • Mentorship

Barriers to Entry and Employment in the Industry • Lack of awareness about the range of career opportunities • Lack of awareness of actual job requirements and expectations • Insurance rates • Required driving experience • Health – high prevalence of diabetes among Indigenous population

Perceived Opportunities for Indigenous Peoples in Trucking and Logistics • Having a family member (direct relation) or community member already employed within the industry helps to meet the desire for mentorship and orienting new workers to the industry • Indigenous peoples can become self-employed (through becoming owner-operators)

'Her life mattered:' Court orders new trial in death of Indigenous woman CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The country's highest court has ruled an Ontario truck driver should be retried for manslaughter, but not murder, in the case of an Indigenous woman who bled to death in an Edmonton motel after he hired her for sex.

In a 4-3 decision Friday, the Supreme Court said evidence about Cindy Gladue's sexual history was mishandled in a 2015 trial that ended in

Cindy Gladue.

Bradley Barton's acquittal on a first-degree murder charge. ``Our criminal justice system holds out a promise to all Canadians: ev-

eryone is equally entitled to the law's full protection and to be treated with dignity, humanity and respect,'' wrote Justice Michael Moldaver. ``Ms. Gladue is no exception. ``She was a mother, a daughter, a friend, and a member of her community. Her life mattered.

She was valued. She was important. She was loved.

Her status as an Indigenous woman who performed sex work did not change any of that in the slightest.''

Barton had told a jury that he hired Gladue for

two nights of sex in 2011 and claimed the fatal injury to her vagina was an accident during rough but consensual activity.

The Crown argued that Barton intentionally wounded Gladue and was guilty of first-degree murder or, at least, manslaughter, because the 36-year-old Metis woman had not consented to what happened.

The jury, which repeatedly heard references to Gladue as a ``prostitute'' and a ``native,'' found Barton not guilty on either charge.

When the Crown appealed, the Alberta Court of Appeal set aside the acquittal and ordered a new first-degree murder trial.

GRAPHIC WARNING: The following details may disturb some readers.

Two experts who testified for the Crown at trial said an 11-centimetre cut in Gladue's vaginal wall was caused by a sharp instrument. A defence expert said the injury was a laceration from bluntforce trauma.

Barton testified that he put his fist in her vagina on both nights, but on the second night she started bleeding. He woke up the next morning to find her dead in the bathtub, he said.

The Crown also showed the jury Gladue's preserved vaginal tissue as an exhibit in an effort to explain her injury.

The case sparked nationwide protests about how alleged victims of sexual assault, particularly Indigenous women, are portrayed in a courtroom.

The Supreme Court said the trial judge failed to apply provisions in the law that limit the extent to which alleged victims' sexual histories can be discussed.

The court said those provisions should have been followed before introducing evidence about Gladue's sexual activity with Barton on the first night.

If any of that evidence had been deemed admissible, careful instruction by the trial judge was needed to ensure the jury understood it, said the decision.

The majority said Barton's new trial should be restricted to manslaughter, because procedural errors at the first trial did not taint the jury's finding on whether Barton was guilty of murder. The minority said he should be retried with both manslaughter and murder as possible verdicts.

Indigenous-Crown Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett said the high court has issued an important caution to the judicial system. ``In order to seek justice ... the court is saying that you should express instruction aimed at coun-

tering prejudice against Indigenous women and girls,'' she said in an interview.

Several women's groups raised similar concerns outside the Supreme Court on Friday. ``When Indigenous women are brought in as victims ... they're often perceived almost like they're the criminal and that they have to defend themselves. And Cindy, in her death, couldn't defend herself,'' said Melanie Omeniho, president of Women of the Metis Nation.

Qajaq Robinson, a commissioner for the national inquiry into murdered and missing Indigenous women, called the decision a step forward. ``The court has recognized that in cases of sexual assaults involving Indigenous women and girls, that there's an obligation on courts, on judges, to be gatekeepers _ to ensure that bias, prejudice, racism and sexism do not form part of the evidence,'' she said.

A research advisor for the Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women added that the court could have gone further. ``The level of dehumanization that was experienced and the level of humiliation that Indigenous women throughout the country felt as a result of the way the court treated Cindy Gladue _ I don't think the decision accounts for that in the way that it needed to,'' said Julie Kaye in Saskatoon.

Barton's lawyer, Dino Bottos, said it's disappointing his client must return to court on a manslaughter charge, ``but it's a far, far better result than having to go back to trial on first-degree murder.''

He said the new trial is set for February. ``I intend to simply have Mr. Barton tell his story once again,'' Bottos said. ``The jury believed him the first time. There should be no reason why a jury wouldn't believe him a second time.''

Local dance talent to represent on Team Canada CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANTFORD — From Friday, May 24 to Saturday, May 25, dance groups and models from Michelle Farmers Studio of Dance took to performing before loved ones and supporters within the Brantford Collegiate Institute auditorium for the studios 44th Stars of Tomorrow annual showcase.

From tiny tots to adult divisions, dance teams performed routines ranging from ballet and jazz to hip hop and lyrical, while models walked their walks and modelled several outfit changes.

“Overall I think the show went well,” said Hip Hop Choreographer Jazz Fuller. “I taught the hip hop for all of the age divisions.”

Fuller worked with fifteen of the youngest dancers and made a basketball themed routine. This year as well, Fuller re-entered the competitive floor himself.

“I hadn’t competed for [over ten years],” he said.

OHSWEKEN — (from left) Choreographer Jazz Fuller and Sutdio Director Michelle Farmer pose together behind the many trophies and awards given to the groups that competed at the regional level, including those that will be moving onto national competitions in PHOTO BY CHEZNEY MARTIN July.

“Me and Arielle Monture, who used to dance with me to compete, came back for another year because we both wanted to compete one more time.”

After doing well in Ohio a couple of months prior, the duo a long with five younger dancers serving rest of their group were given a first place platinum award. They make up the senior competitive

team and Fuller said that he is “proud,” of the group.

After competing in Ohio for regionals, the teams went on to compete further: “We went to two competitions,” said Director of the Studio, Michelle Farmer. “We went to Showstoppers, which we usually go to and we also went to Star Power in Toronto.”

Farmer explained that they had eleven routines for the Showstopper competition and the groups qualified for the National Finals in all. As for the Star Power Competition, only the younger mini and junior groups competed and they qualified for the National Finals taking place in Anaheim, California at the same time and place as the Showstopper Finals.

“We’re going to try to do two in one,” she said, as the Showstopper Competition is held at the Anaheim Convention Centre while the Star Power Competition is held at Disneyland, five minutes apart. “Which is exciting, because we’ve never done this.”

To top off their successes at Regionals, one of the groups was also given a surprise opportunity.

“While we were at Star Power in Toronto, a group that I have was given a special award and it was

called a ‘golden ticket,’” she said.

Farmer said that golden tickets were awarded to the highest scoring dance troupe of each division, and gave the awardees the opportunity to compete at the world level in New

Jersey just a few days after nationals.

“They will be representing Team Canada,” she said.

Therefore the studio has allowed a world level dance group to compete, but out of all of the danc-

ers that Farmer has seen and taught, she said that she is proud of them all as a whole.

“Yes I am proud of my competitors, but I am also proud of the recreational students and the dancers that come to just a class a week and being able to see them grow,” she said.

The studio also hosted auditions for competitive and pre-competitive teams for 2019-2020 year on Tuesday for any dancers that are interested. For more information the studio is reachable at 519-717-9099.

On Friday, May 31, the competitive dance teams will be hosting a barbecue fundraiser within Veteran’s Park in Ohsweken from 10 a.m., to 5 p.m., or until they are sold out.

They will be offering barbecue staples as well as macaroni and potato salad to help fund their trip to the Showstoppers National Dance Competition in Anaheim, California.

2019 Indigenous Art at Woodland

Ontario eliminates Indigenous Culture Fund, cuts millions for the arts CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO — Ontario has eliminated a fund supporting Indigenous culture as the government cuts tens of millions of dollars in arts funding _ a decision that is being slammed as short-sighted.

The Progressive Conservatives are attempting to trim an $11.7-billion deficit and are cutting spending in a number of areas. That includes lower spending on tourism, arts and culture, according to recently released expenditure estimates for this fiscal year.

Culture programs are budgeted at $235 million this year, down from nearly $295 million last year, including cutting ``arts sector support'' from $18.5 million to $6.5 million.

Additionally, the Ontario Arts Council, which awards grants, is receiving $10 million less from the government this year _ with $5 million of that cut the result of axing the Indigenous Culture Fund that was only established last year.

The Aboriginal Arts Collective of Canada received $25,000 from the fund and president Dawn Setford said she used the money to hold a longplanned conference to teach about 200 Indigenous women various artistic and cultural practices such as porcupine quilling and basketry.

Those types of traditional teachings were lost in some families, she said, because of residential schools or the '60s Scoop that removed Indigenous children from their homes.

Setford now doubts she will be able to get other sources of funding to hold another conference. ``As Indigenous women we were just getting there, to the point where people wanted to learn about us ... and we're just at that point where we're confident enough, we feel safe enough and proud enough to start sharing,'' she said. ``I think these kind of governmental movements renew in us the feelings that we're not valuable, that we're not

Doug Ford cut millions in arts funding, a decision that is being PHOTO SUBMITTED criticized as "short-sighted".

equal again.''

Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler said the arts, including music and storytelling, are a very important part of Indigenous culture. ``That sends a terrible signal to our arts community that their work is not valued, their contribution to society is not valued,'' he said.

Tourism, Culture and Sport Minister Michael Tibollo said support for Indigenous communities continues through a number of other programs. On the overall arts funding cuts, he said the government needs to make sure its spending is sustainable. ``Prioritizing things that are really important _ education, health care, ending the hallway medicine _ there are so many issues we have to deal with that are critical to the wants of the people of the province,'' he said. ``I'm quite aware of the importance of (the arts) ... But I think we have to first make sure that we do what matters most to people and that's get control of the fiscal economy.''

Kelly Saxberg, founder of the Vox Popular Media Arts Festival in Thunder Bay, Ont., which received $12,000 through the Ontario Arts Council, said the organization's grants are particularly beneficial for artists outside the major centres. ``Things precisely like the Ontario Arts Council are the things that are the positive things that bring us together, that help build community,'' she said.

Other cuts to the arts

include slashing more than half of the Ontario Music Fund, from $15 million to $7 million.

The culture sector in Ontario supports 269,000 jobs and $25.7 billion in GDP, according to Statistics Canada.

Tourism funding has also been cut, with $17.5 million less going to regional tourism organizations across the province, including eliminating money for Tourism Toronto and Ottawa Tourism.

Funding to the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation, which promotes the province nationally and internationally as a destination, has been cut

by $5 million to about $33 million.

Grants in support of tourism investment development have been cut in half, to $500,000.

And grants in support of festival and event attractions were cut by $2 million, which is about 10 per cent.

A spokesman for Tibollo said the ministry is targeting funding to ensure maximum return on investment ``through increased partnerships and efficiencies.''

Green party Leader Mike Schreiner said his community of Guelph benefits from having a strong arts presence. ``That attracts visitors

who spend money in our community, which creates jobs,'' Schreiner said. ``So (the cuts are) very short-sighted from an economic perspective, but also just from a livability of our communities perspective as well.''

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said arts grants and programs help stabilize the often precarious income of artists. ``What artists do, whether it's in music, whether it's in the visual arts, whether it's in the performing arts, they create an Ontario that is livable and an Ontario that is inspirational for the rest of us,'' she said.

On Friday, May 24, the Arrows traveled to Barrie to face the Lakeshores.

Jeremy Bomberry opened scoring in the first period, as Chase Scanlan, Wake:Riat Bowhunter and Liam Leclair followed suit with singles. The Lakeshores returned three and this brought the Arrows to an early lead 4-3.

The second period followed with four consecutive goals with singles from Travis Longboat, Percy Booth and a double from Kevin Owen Hill.

Rebels face their first loss of 2019 season CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Rebels hosted the St. Catharines Spartans for their twelfth seasonal game that resulted in their twelfth win on Friday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

Weylon Abrams opened scoring for the Rebels in the first period, followed by singles from Jaxson Martin, Tycie Cowan and a double by AP Tyres Staats.

The Spartans answered three times, but the lead went to the Rebels 5-3.

The second period opened for the highest scoring period of the game as the Spartans fought for four goals, while the Rebels racked them high into the teens. Singles came from Austin Skye, Tayton Skye, Dayton Hill while Justin Martin put in a hat trick and Sidney Poles put away four alone for a score of 16-7 at the end.

The Rebels next home game will host the Guelph Regals at the ILA on Friday, May 31 at 8, p.m.

The third gave way to only one goal for the Spartans and two for the Rebels by Wesley Whitlow and Dayton Hill to close the game 18-8.

However, the following Sunday brought about the Rebels thirteenth seasonal game and their first loss of the season.

While formerly beating the Elora Mohawks in their homeowner at the start of the season 21-6, the Rebels seemed to switch scores with the Mohawks for this one.

The Mohawks came out into the first period harder than the Rebels previous matches, as

they earned an initial lead. Three goals came from Marshall Powless, Justin Martin and Dayton Hill, while the Mohawks earned four.

This brought the second period which opened with a shorthanded goal

by Jesse Longboat, but was followed by a series

of four consecutive goals for the Mohawks as they monopolized poorly timed penalties and took advantage of power play shifts.

Weylon Abrams answered with a single goal, which was cancelled by another for the Mohawks to end the period 5-11.

The final period gave

the Rebels their lowest scoring period, as they had to eat away at a daunting six-point lead.

Mason Hill earned his first of the game while Marshall Powless buried twice to earn himself a hattrick. However, as penalty minutes stacked high for the Rebels, the Mohawks simply had to keep their scoring momentum. They answered back with four goals and finalized their win 8-15.

As they were not on home soil, reffing can be blamed for the difference on the scoreboard, however it is more likely that the Mohawks were out to save face after their initial poor performance during the Rebels home opener as returning Junior ‘B’ champions. They also likely made use of drawing penalties as well.

The Rebels next home game will host the Guelph Regals at the ILA on Friday, May 31 at 8, p.m..

National Lacrosse League Cup evades Bandits, goes to Roughnecks STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

CALGARY — The Buffalo Bandits vow to return to the big stage of the National Lacrosse League after they were swept away by the Calgary Roughnecks in the best-ofthree league championship, which culminated Saturday night in a 14-13 overtime drop to the hosts at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday.

Thus, for the first time in ten seasons, the Calgary Roughnecks are NLL champions.

The team hoisted the NLL Cup in front of 17,038 screaming fans at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Heading into overtime, the stage was set for one Roughnecks player to become the hero and Rhys Duch took the role and ran with it.

After multiple big saves

by Christian Del Bianco at the start of the overtime frame, Duch fired home his second goal of the game a minute into the period to send the Saddledome into a frenzy.

Game 2 of the NLL Finals will be re-aired in the United States by Stadium, premiering at 8:00 pm ET on Tuesday, May 28.

But with 55 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, it appeared Dobbie may have given the Roughnecks the lead for good with his fourth goal of night, but the Bandits managed to find one more goal, silencing the crowd with a Corey Small marker with 28 seconds remaining.

With seven points (4g, 3a) in this game and six

points (3g,3a) in game one, Dobbie was named the NLL Finals MVP.

TORONTO — There was an extra buzz in the Blue Jays clubhouse on Sunday, all thanks to the Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors made history by becoming the first Canadian team to reach the NBA final after rallying past the Milwaukee Bucks 100-94 in Game 6.

The Raptors came back

from a two-game deficit in the best-of-seven basketball series to win the Eastern Conference 4-2 for the first time in franchise history on Saturday night.

They will open the NBA final at home on Thursday night against six-time champions, the Golden State Warriors.

Many of Jays players were still feeling adrenalin pumping after watching the Raptors booked the franchise’s first trip to the NBA

final the following day.

The Jays may be the odd man out in Toronto sports when it comes to ownership — they are the only franchise out of the Raptors, Maple Leafs, Marlies, Argonauts and Toronto FC not under the Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment umbrella — but the camaraderie between teams still exists.

Many of the players were seen donning Raptors colours and shirts in support.

Zach Currier, Tyler Burton, Tyler Pace and Riley Loewen also added markers in the run that saw the Roughnecks take an 8-5 lead. The Roughnecks and Bandits would exchange goals to close out the second quarter, giving the home side a 9-6 lead heading into the break.

After a slow start to the

third quarter, the Bandits brought the momentum back into their corner, scoring three straight goals in under two and a half minutes to deadlock the score at 9-9. The Roughnecks answered back with a Dobbie power play marker a short time later before the Bandits put another past Del Bianco to tie the game 10-10 heading in the final quarter.

Right up until Duch’s overtime marker touched the mesh, the Bandits displayed an endless supply of relentless determination, something head coach Rich Kilgour amended his club for.

It was a disappointing end to what was an impressive season for Bandits who went 14-4 in the regular season, good for first place in the entire NLL. Game 2 of the NLL Finals will be re-aired in the United States by Stadium, premiering at 8:00 pm ET on Tuesday, May 28.

TWO ROW TIMES

May 29th, 2019

Six Nations host to first ever Indigenous Boxing event Event drew male and female First Nations fighters from Ontario, Nova Scotia

JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS - It was fight night in Six Nations Friday as Brantford’s Bell City Boxing Club held its first boxing card on the Rez, but it will probably not be the last.

A full house of approximately 400 boxing fans were given a great boxing show featuring several Six Nations boxers and a crew of Mi’kmaq fighters from Nova Scotia’s Red Tribe Boxing Club, along with representatives from other Indigenous Nations.

“We tried to get as many Indigenous boxers as we could for the Six Nations show,” said co-organizer Bill Williams of Bell City Boxing, who along with Skyler Williams put together the Six Nations show at the Gathering Place. “I am really pleased with how it went.”

Barrie Bernard brought members of his Nova Scotia fight club to participate on the card.

“We’ve never been to Six Nations before,” said Bernard after the show. “When

Lola Williams, age 13, must have been born with the heart of a champion. She defeated her opponent PHOTO BY JIM WINDLE who was two years older than her. It was their third fight with each other.

Bill and Skyler invite us we were excited to come.”

He brought a ceremonial arrow and quiver from his people which he gave to Bill Williams from centre ring before the first bell.

His fighters brought flags of their Nation which were given to Ontario fighters after each bout.

Bernard and his father recently started the Red Tribe Boxing Club in Eskasoni, Nova Scotia.

Father, Barry, was a boxer in his younger years and always had a vision of having a boxing club in the community.

“My father’s dream was to have a club in Eskasoni,” said Barrie Bernard, who runs the club with his father. “He couldn’t find a place to have it, and chief and council stepped up and they gave us a place – chief and council really stepped up to the plate and dad and

Call for Applications

Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation Group is seeking:

I took on the project from there.”

Bernard is happy to see young fighters interested in boxing, especially from his home community of Eskasoni.

“It’s great to see these young fighters because they develop a lot of life skills because they develop skills in terms like respect for each other and respect for themselves and even respect for adults and coaches.

“The generation now is lacking with respect and not only do they develop respect, they also develop more independence because they’re the ones that come to the gym.” said Bernard. “I find boxing a really great individual sport, so they mature in that manor, and they also get the benefits of being physically fit.”

Bell City Boxing boasts several Six Nations fighters including Skyler Williams and his daughter Lola who

both won their bouts.

Making his debut in the ring was Josh Miller.

Miller, who usually holds a lacrosse stick in his hands, has been working out at the Bell City gym in Brantford and felt he was ready to go into the ring.

Most on hand felt he was indeed ready, but due to being his first fight, and the Boxing Commission’s tendency to not let a rookie fighter get him or herself hurt in the early going of their amateur career, the fight was stopped in the second round after his opponent, Nova Scotia’s Lennox Marshall unloaded a barrage of blows on Miller, in a 190-pound bout. None of them did any noticeable damage to Miller but for precautionary measures, the referee stopped the fight.

Miller slipped in the first round and the referee called for a standing eight count because he thought it was a stumble from punches.

In amateur boxing, two standing eight counts are enough to end the fight and Miller was assessed his second standing eight in the second round.

Disappointing as it was for Miller, he was encouraged by Skyler and the rest of the Bell City Boxing Club not to let that bother him.

“Skyler lost his first fight too,” said Bill Williams. “It happens, but you learn a lot from just being in the ring.

If he sticks with it, he will do well.”

Skyler Williams and his daughter Lola were both on the card and both won. Lola, age 13, won her bout over an East Indian fighter Shika

Vanshika, age 15, from Brampton.

“I was waiting backstage when they announced Lola,” said Skyler. “I could feel the ground shaking with the applause she got. What a proud moment for a father.

It’s nice to share the sport with her, but I’m not like a “sports dad” to her. I let the trainers do what they do and stay out of it. But I do spar with her whenever I can.”

Williams had lost her first bout against Vanshika but made up for that with an exciting bout Friday night, which she won to the cheers of the capacity crowd. The win increases her amateur record to five wins and two losses.

It was retribution night for Skyler as well. He lost against Eric DelMonte in the 165 lb. division in their last outing together, but this time, Skyler got his revenge with a well earned unanimous decision increasing his amateur record to 9-3.

“He is good fighter and a really great guy,” Williams says of DelMonte.

Bell City’s Jennifer Williams, (no relation) defeated National Champion Melissa Mirsoane from Toronto and looked good doing it with heavier hands and her gofor-it spirit.

In a men’s 160-pound bout, Bell City’s Tim Brothwick stopped Nova Scotia’s Rein Ryan in the second round, folding his opponent up with a hard body shot.

Bell City Boxing is now planning ahead to another “Fights Under the Lights” show in Brantford in July to showcase its fighters.
