Despite notices posted by the Haldimand County Health Unit at a Six Nations-owned burger and fries stand, it’s business as usual at the Plank Road - One Stop Smoke Shop and Burger Stand near Caledonia. The shutdown had nothing to do with the stand’s sanitary issues, but rather Ontario de-manding the business be registered in their system. “We are on unceded Confederacy Territory,” says proprietor Derrick Sandy.

The potential threat of commu-nity-acquired Methicillin-resistent Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has prompted some Six Nations sports teams and the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena (ILA) owners to clean-up their acts.

During a Health Services pre-sentation on the bacteria which, if untreated, can cause serious ill-ness and even death, District Four Elected Councillor Helen Miller said she had heard a rumour that three community members had contracted infections from the bac-teria while playing at the ILA.

Public nurse Deborah Jonathan said Six Nations Health Servic-es has been meeting with sports teams and arena owners and staff to provide them with information about MRSA, how to prevent in-fections, how to prevent the spread

of an infection and what to do if you suspect you have acquired a Staph infection. She said the bac-teria can cause serious illness and even death when untreated, but its spread can be controlled.

Acknowledging there was a re-cent scare in the community, Jona-than said, “Misinformation feeds panic.” The nurse said the arena was thought to be the point of in-fection because the team plays there. The bacteria could have come from anywhere, even a gro-cery store, she said.

Jonathan and her supervisor, Ruby Miller, provided Elected Council with the same information about MRSA that they are giving to community members. Jonathan said information has gone out to every household.

The Iroquois Lacrosse Arena owners have “done a lot there,” Jonathan said. She said they have been cleaning the indoor turf and

the dressing rooms. The owners have also purchased a machine that can clean personal protective wear.

Councillor Wray Maracle (Dis-trict Four) said the Six Nations Rebels have also purchased a cleaning machine and have cleaned all the equipment for the players. “The Arrows bought a machine,” he said. “I'm almost glad this stuff happened so we can address keep-ing things clean,” Maracle said. “We're doing our best to make sure we don't transmit anything.”

Jonathan said the best preven-tion is simple; wash your hands frequently with soap and water and bathe regularly. If a person thinks they might have an MRSA infec-tion, they should see their doctor as soon as possible for treatment.

More information about how to prevent MRSA infections is avail-able from Six Nations Health Ser-vices and Health Canada.

Main station shut downBy Stephanie DearingOHSWEKEN

The heart of the Six Na-tions Fire Department – it's main building – was shut down late last week due to mould. While Elected Coun-cil is working on a remedi-ation plan for the problem, Tekawennake has learned that Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) is investigating the situation.

A press release issued by Six Nations Elected Council on Tuesday morning said a leaking roof and mould was the reason for the closure of the building. Yellow fire tape was put up across the garage doors at the station, as well as the entrance doors and the compound, when the station was shut down last Thursday.

Fire Chief Michael Seth is currently on holiday and has not been available for an in-

terview. Requests to speak with Eric Sault, the District Fire Chief, in charge while Seth is away, have not been responded to.

“We've been instructed not to say anything,” said Crys-tal Johns, Seth's Administra-tive Assistant. The imposed silence is a result of the in-vestigation by HRSDC.

HRSDC spokesperson Amelie Maisonneuve in-formed Tekawennake of the investigation in an email. She also said Canada Labour Code, section 144.5, prohib-its people from discussing the investigation.

Johns posted a notice on the door of the station Friday afternoon. “Effective imme-diately, The Six Nations Fire Department – Main Station #1 located at 17 Veteran's Lane will be closed until fur-ther notice.” Deliveries and enquiries are to go to Johns, who is now working out of the the Six Nations Ambu-lance building, located next door to the Fire Department.

Council's press release said the organization is

working on putting in tempo-rary structures at the station. The building is expected to remain closed until the leak-ing roof and mould have been addressed.

When the station was closed, the two fire trucks that operate from there were relocated to other stations on the reserve. Johns said the fire department was “still responding as we normally would. The community is still safe.”

One truck has since been relocated back to Ohsweken, parked outside in the com-pound. A tent was observed in the compound, it's purpose unknown.

HRSDC enforces the Can-ada Labour Code and is re-sponsible for workplace safety for First Nations said Chris Liddy, a specialist with the Canadian Centre for Oc-cupational Health and Safe-ty.

Maisonneuve said, “The Government of Canada is committed to ensuring the health and safety of workers across Canada.”

Six Nations is once again mourning the loss of a young person following a collision on early Saturday morn-ing. Haldimand OPP report 16 year old Robin Maracle died on the scene of the sin-gle vehicle collision despite attempts by Six Nations and

Haldimand County paramed-ics to save him.

The collision took place on Mississauga Road, between Tuscarora Road and New Credit Road around 5 am. Haldimand OPP spokesperson Constable Mark Foster said in a statement posted online that the 2001 GMC truck Robin was driving left the road and rolled over before striking a

tree. Robin was ejected from the vehicle, and was later de-clared dead on the scene by the coroner. The OPP Tech-nical Traffic Collision Investi-gators were called in to assist with the investigation.

A post-mortem was con-ducted on Monday to deter-mine the cause of death, but results have not yet been re-leased.

Now that the Mississauga of New Credit and Six Na-tions of the Grand and the Ahmed family have all agreed to turn a small portion of the land owned by the Ahmeds into an Aboriginal Cemetery, all that is left to do is submit the paperwork, survey the new cemetery and register it with the province.

The site disposition agree-ment was signed by New Credit council, and accord-ing to Carolyn King, had gone back property owner Habiba Ahmed on Friday. King, who represented New Credit along with Maraget Sault during the site disposition negotiations, said Ahmed had to take the agreement to Brant County.

King said the negotiations had come down to wording, “one word here, one sentence here type thing,” but once that

was resolved, New Credit council signed. The agree-ment means a small ceme-tery will be created to house the remains of two First Na-tions people who were buried at what is now known as 46 Oxbow Road over 100 years ago.

King said Habiba and her husband Imtiaz not only agreed to the creation of a cemetery on the property, Habiba had offered to look af-ter the cemetery, which King said was remarkable after the frustration the couple has ex-perienced since the remains were found. King said Habi-ba's attitude was, “I wouldn't want that to happen to my people.”

The Ahmeds had purchased 46 Oxbow Road in 2011, in-tending to build their dream home on the lot. When ex-cavations for the foundation got underway, the remains of one of the individuals buried

there were exposed, throwing the couple's plans into chaos.

“It was never her intent to do any damage, it just hap-pened,” King said of Habi-ba. King gave Brant County some responsibility in the is-sue. “Maybe not enough good guidance you might say by the County,” she said. King said people come to Brant County and decide to build homes, but are unaware of the his-tory of the area and the high likelihood they will uncover old graves in the process of

building.King said one of her jobs

is to work with municipalities to reduce the chances of acci-dentally uncovering a grave. She said she is reaching out to developers and wants to build relationships with realtors for the same purpose.

As for 46 Oxbow Road, King said she believed all parties were satisfied with the outcome for 46 Oxbow Road, but cautioned, “There's other perspectives to be brought in yet.”

King did not name anybody, however it is well known that the Haudenosaunee Develop-ment Institute had attempted to have a say in how the re-mains found at Oxbow Road were to be treated.

Once the plan to create a cemetery for the remains has been formalized, the remains, which are still on the property, will be re-interred in a cere-mony in the cemetery which will sit where the remains were originally found.

Two weeks ago Habiba

Ahmed told Tekawennake she and her husband hope to build a house on 46 Oxbow Road next year, although it will not be their dream home. Last week, Brant County Council's Corporate Develop-ment Committee considered a request from the Ahmeds to sever the cemetery from the lot owned by the Ahmeds. According to a report carried by the Brantford Expositor, Brant County then take over the cemetery, if council ap-proves later this month.

Portion of Oxbow Road property to become an Aboriginal Cemetery

By Jim Windle

The OPP along with a plain clothes officer and the Hal-dimand County Health Unit came to the Plank Road - One Stop Smoke Shop and Burger stand last Friday morning, to officially shut down the new burger and fries stand located at the rear of the smoke shop.

According to Derrick Sandy, proprietor of the business, “They posted two signs — one at the entrance to the Smoke Shop and the other one at the Burger Stand building — saying we are closed because they are wanting us to follow Provin-cial law.”

But signs or no signs, the burgers were still flipping and the fries frying, as of Tuesday anyhow.

It is fair to note that the Health Unit closing was not due to unsanitary conditions, but rather because they re-

fused to seek an Ontario li-cense to operate.

“Our stance is that we are not on Provincial land,” said Sandy. “We are on unceded Confederacy Territory.”

He says the land in ques-tion is part of the Plank Road treaty which states that Can-ada can use that land as a roadway, but once it stops being used for that purpose, it is supposed to come back to the Confederacy.

The shop and burger stand are on the path of the origi-nal Plank Road which was diverted in recent years to accommodate the Highway #6 Caledonia bypass, leav-ing the path of the old Plank Road empty.

“We are still open because this is not provincial land,” says a defiant Sandy. “We told them to go to the Con-federacy Council. As far as I am concerned it will be busi-ness as usual.”

“Closed” burger stand remains open for business

“On the evening of Decem-ber 3, 2012 there was a multi-vehicle crash that claimed the life of my dear 18 year old daughter,” said Tanya Mar-

tin, mother of Yegwenyes “Gwen” Delta Rayne Martin. Her statement was provided by Six Nations Police in the hopes that two witnesses who were at the scene shortly af-ter the deadly collision took place will step forward.

“She was my baby, the youngest of four daughters,” said Martin. “PLEASE, I beg to anyone who may know who the two men are who were the driver and passen-ger of the black Trailblazer SS, to please, please help

us and call in any information you may have. These two men are NOT considered as be-ing involved in the actual crash. They are only asked to speak with Six Na-tions Police.”

“Please do the right thing. Please, imagine if this were YOUR child. Call Six Nations Po-lice 519-445-2811 or Crimestoppers 1-800-222-8477,” said Martin.

A resident of Hagersville at the time, 15 year old William Randy Harris died as a result of the col-lision. A third

youth, 19 year old Adam Roy Todd Bain survived.

Police arrested Travis Grant Squire-Hill, who now faces numerous criminal charges in relation to the col-lision. Arrested on Decem-ber 4, Hill remains in custody awaiting his hearing.

According to Six Nations Police, the three youths, who were riding a dirt bike and an ATV westbound on Fourth

Line, were hit from behind by a white GMC truck driven by Hill.

Hill allegedly stole the GMC truck, and was driving while impaired. He has been charged with two counts of Criminal Negligence in the Operation of a Motor Vehi-cle Causing Death; Criminal Negligence in the Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing Bodily Harm; two counts

of Impaired Driving Caus-ing Death; Impaired Driving Causing Bodily Harm; Fail to Remain at the Scene of an Accident; Driving While Disqualified; Theft of a Mo-tor Vehicle; Breach of Pro-bation.

The police service has been asking for help identify-ing the two men in the Trail-blazer, stressing they only want to speak to the men.

Evidence brought forth from the police investigation into the death of two-year-old Marissa Whalen two years ago was released last Friday. Up until then, it was sealed under a publication ban. That decision was overturned af-ter Sun Media lawyers chal-lenged the court’s decision.

According to an exclusive Sun Media report, young Ma-rissa Whalen suffered a short life of neglect and abuse lead-ing up to the toddler’s death July 29th, of 2011. The re-mains were found buried in a bush area on Third Line Road, in Six Nations on October 10, 2011. The entire body was not found, causing police to spec-ulating that she was partially eaten by animals before her body was located.

After postmortem was con-ducted on the remains it was discovered that both of her forearms had been fractured sometime between 10 days and three months before her death.

Marissa seems to have been an inconvenience in a lesbi-an relationship between her 25-year-old mother, Rose-anne Whalen and her 30-year-

old lover Rainbow Hill, both of Fort Erie but with family connections to Six Nations.

The newly released evidence shows that the toddler was kicked in the stomach by Rainbow Hill and knocked to the floor before she was killed in the bathroom of an apart-ment in Fort Erie. There were other incidents of physical abuse including smashing the youngster’s face into a wall.

According to last Fri-day’s release of court documents in the sec-ond degree murder trial of Rainbow Hill and ac-cessory to murder trial of her sister, Amanda Dipota of Niagara Falls, Hill became angered and agitated after the two-year-old woke up with a messy diaper. Marissa and her mother were liv-ing with Hill at the time. Hill seems to have struck the girl in a fit of rage, fatally injuring her.

Hill’s stepfather Pat-rick McKay called 911, but Hill convinced him to cancel the emergency call and the ambulance. As is practice, once a 911

call is made, police and ambulance will contin-ue to follow up even if called off by the caller.

Marissa’s body was hastily hidden in the basement before po-lice arrived to investi-gate the call and was eventually wrapped in a blanket and garbage bag and put in the tub.

Upon police arrival, Hill told them that her son was choking on some cereal, but was OK now. By this time Dipota was also in the house and knew what had happened.

Dipota was asked to find an out of the way place to bury the child’s body. It was she who found the Third Line Road, Six Nations lo-cation.

Marissa’s body was put in the trunk of a car and Hill, Dipota and Whalen drove to a Third Line Road brush area, 2 1/2 hrs away, on the night of her death.

Then, on August 3, 2011, the trio returned to dig up the body and

remove the blanket and the bag, fearing they

could be traced. The body was then reburied in a shal-low grave. The bag and blan-ket were then burned.

Whalen reported the girl missing August 8th, 2011 and admitted her part in the child’s death when inter-viewed by police. She was initially charged with criminal negligence causing death, but the charges were later upgrad-ed to second degree murder.

On October 15th, Hill was arrested and charged with sec-ond degree murder while her sister, Dipota was arrested two days later and charged with being an accessory to murder.

Hill and Dipota have had their day in court where they both pleaded guilty. Sentenc-ing is scheduled for Aug. 16th.

Roseanne Whalen was re-leased on bail and will face her charges in late 2014.

On July 29, 2011, two days after her second birthday, Marissa Whalen was kicked in the stomach and killed by her mother’s lesbian lov-er for dirtying her diaper in an apartment in Fort Erie. The toddler’s body was then buried in a shallow grave on Third Line Road where it was later found.

Two-year-old Marissa Whalen’s short life was one full of horrible abuse, according to evidence released last week of the life and death of the youngster.

A Brantford contractor is unhappy he was named in as-sociation with allegations of shoddy work and cover-ups at the new Six Nations water treatment plant.

District Three Councillor Ross Johnson brought the allegations to the forefront during the July 9 meeting of Elected Council during an update on new change orders for the plant, as well as a con-struction delay.

Expressing his concern about the 15 change orders that council has now approved for the water treatment plant, Councillor Ross Johnson said, “I was talking to a contractor who did a lot of work over there. He's amazed at the number of things that went wrong that's been covered up. This council should bring him in and talk to him.”

“Who is this individual,” asked Elected Chief William Montour.

“Aaron Mechanical,” re-plied Johnson. “He did a lot of work ...”

“He'd better come in and explain it,” said Chief Mon-tour, interrupting Johnson, “because we were over there Friday and everything's on track to finish.” Montour asked the project manager to bring the contractor to meet with council.

Aaron Mechanical owner, Stuart Cusworth, was not hap-py about the turn of events. “It caused a big hornet's

nest,” he said when reached by telephone. According to Cusworth, “if there are issues, I'm not aware of it. They have so many checks and balances there.”

Cusworth said he wrote a letter on the matter to both Six Nations and Maple Reinders.

“I'm not trying to create something,” said Councillor Ross Johnson when reached by telephone Tuesday after-noon. Johnson claims Cus-worth told him and a couple of witnesses about the prob-lems with the water treatment plant. “I wouldn't have said it at council if he didn't tell it to me.”

Johnson said Cusworth not only believes some work was not done properly, but that Maple Reinders was spending money foolishly too. “They were using copper pipe where they could have used some-thing else, and they buried a valve that should never have been buried. It could cause problems later down the road.”

“Now he's denying what he said. He's full of it,” said Johnson. “He's just denying it because he wants to get more jobs out here.”

Johnson said Cusworth had advised him to bring the matter to council, and said he still would like the contractor to meet with council. While Johnson does not sit on ei-ther the ad hoc or the project committee for the water treat-ment plant, he said he wants to make sure the important proj-ect is completed properly.

Bluewater Wind Energy Centre Community Liaison Committee

We’re establishing a Community Liaison Committee (CLC) for the Bluewater Wind Energy Centre. In April 2013, Varna Wind, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Canada, ULC (NextEra), obtained approval from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) to build a Wind Energy Centre in the Municipality of Bluewater, Huron County Ontario.

About the Bluewater Wind Energy Centre The Bluewater Wind Energy Centre, which includes a transmission line that extends into the Municipality of Huron East, will have a maximum generating capacity of up to 60 megawatts, using 37 wind turbines; this is enough clean energy to power over 15,000 homes. The wind farm is expected to create about 150 construction jobs, 5 to 6 full-time local operations jobs, and is estimated – over its 20 year lifespan – to contribute almost $9 million to local governments in property taxes and $13 million in lease payments to landowners. We want to hear from you! We know that good planning involves the community. We are establishing a Community Liaison Committee to discuss key aspects of construction, installation, use, operation, maintenance and retirement of the Bluewater Wind Energy Centre. This Committee is a requirement of our Renewable Energy Approval (REA), and will be a forum to discuss concerns, exchange ideas, share plans and to provide project up-dates. The purpose of the CLC is not to re-visit those issues or concerns already addressed through the MOE’s approval process. Join the conversation The Committee will consist of up to 14 people with membership drawn from a cross-section of the community so as to provide a broad and balanced perspective. Representatives of the following groups are intended to make up the Committee: landowners; residents within 1 km of the Project; Aboriginal communities; agriculture; business / industry; environment and local organizations; and representatives from government agencies. All CLC meetings will be open so that the public can attend and observe the conversation – requests for delegations are welcomed and can be made prior to each meeting. The CLC is expected to meet at least four times over a two year period, with two meetings each year. We expect to hold our first meeting by the end of September 2013. The meetings will be at a time and location that is convenient to most members. Committee members will be encouraged to share any information gained and the results of all discussions with other interested community members. An independent, third-party facilitator from AECOM has been retained to chair the Community Liaison Committee meetings.

To get involved, please contact Avril Fisken of AECOM by July 31st so that she can speak with you about your interest and confirm next steps.

Councillor alleges shoddy work and cover up at new water treatment plant

Decades old research shows the Canadian government used Aboriginal people – without their knowledge or permission- for nutritional and biomedical testing during 1942 and 1952, and we're on the job!

Tekawennake expects to be connecting with Food Histo-rian Ian Mosby to learn more about his find. “It was, without a doubt, the most difficult research project I’ve undertaken,” Mosby wrote on his blog. “But while the subject matter and the sources were often disturbing, I think that the story itself is one the needs to be told if Canadians hope to come to grips with the devastating impact of Canada’s colonial policies gov-erning the lives of Aboriginal peoples.”

Mosby's findings were written up under the title “Admin-istering Colonial Science: Nutrition Research and Human Biomedical Experimentation in Aboriginal Communities and Residential Schools, 1942-1952,” and the article was published in the Journal, Histoire Sociale in May 2013.

Sharon and Jamie Jones gave a performance called “Uplifting the Scriptures” during the first of several celebrations that took place over the past weekend to commemorate the 115th anniversary of the Six Nations Seventh-day Adventist congregation. While Jamie played a traditional flute, Sharon recited the bible’s creation story – with a Native twist – in poetry dub style. The recital was beautifully delivered in spite of the heat that gripped the small church and its congregation at the corner of Second Line and Cayuga Road. The commemoration service saw a mingling of different people, some from Six Nations, some from New Credit with guests visiting from outside the reservations. Pastor Herb Sormin led the service with his characteristic upbeat style. Pastor Mansfield Edwards made a special visit on Friday evening for the first ceremony, and about 50 people enjoyed prayers and singing, including a delightful duet performed by Judy Nickol and Nancy Kotanko. Celebrations were also held at Six Nations Polytechnic on Sunday. (Photograph by Stephanie Dearing).

Can’t find transparency anywhereThe last thing we want to hear from anyone in so-called authority around Six Nations

is the word “transparency”.Getting to the bottom of both hard stories and ferreting out rumours requires people

to talk openly — or even on the Q.T — but talking either way.This week alone, there have been a few stories lines, some which have been half re-

ported, that we want to get the complete insight into. But when those in authority clam up or are ordered not to speak with the media, it can begin to get quite adversarial, and it really doesn’t have to be.

Getting information and complete details of things, like; the delays in the Water Treat-ment Plant; why there is still no garbage incineration plant operating on site after two tries and millions of dollars spent; why and how the Six Nations Fire Hall got so bad with mold that it had to be shut down; whether the Six Nations Police Services actually has a current contract or not; all of these issues are covered up like Watergate when the media tries to inform the public about what is actually going on in high places.

And it’s no easier to get the full and accurate details of pending deals being worked on by either Band Council or through the Confederacy’s HDI.

Yet each party is very quick to throw the “transparency” word around, specifically for those within the community who either don’t know how to access this information, or find it easier to parrot promises by the Band Council or the HDI than to push for real answers.

From being at July’s Longhouse meeting a few weeks ago looking for stories we can share with the public, it became evident that even most of the sitting Chiefs don’t have the answers they need to say go or stop to the HDI’s planned deals with developers along the Haldimand Tract. That is not entirely the HDI’s fault. The Chiefs themselves have to take their honoured positions much more seriously and actually read the reports they are being asked to give assent to.

Brantford’s dealings regarding the Gilkinson Street Mohawk property is supposedly being dealt with by the HDI since the land in question was bequeathed to the Mohawk Nation and not Six Nations at large. But who exactly is the Mohawk Nation is a question that only Mohawks themselves can answer. Not the HDI, not the Confederacy, and not the Elected Band Council. Transparency is certainly not a strong feature of any of the above.

Until the Mohawks, the Cayugas, the Onondagas, the Senecas and the Oneidas get their own houses in order and restore a working Clan system amongst themselves, Six Nations as a corporate body or the real Five Nations Confederation, as the Mohawk Workers contend, will continue be spending more energy fighting each other than fight-ing the real enemy of the people, which is the Indian Act and everything it stands for.

It really is no wonder that outsiders can’t figure out who the people of Six Nations are when the people of Six Nations of the Grand River Territory do not know themselves.

Every existing leadership entity would rather hold their cards close to the vest than actually be open, honest and forthcoming when dealing with the real leadership here, according to the Great Peace, and that is the people themselves. This requires the ac-tive transparency the people want and need no matter which form of government they adhere to.

Government’s can not restore the Clans, only the people can do that, if the really wanted to. But that would take a lot of transparency and a lot of concentrated effort to accomplish, both of which are getting harder to find every day.

But it can not happen until, not just the Chiefs, not just the HDI, not just the Band Councillors or Elected Chief have the important information, but when the people are fully informed. And that can not happen without full transparency. Not just using word, but realizing the fulfillment of what that word really means.

“It's wonderful how the community comes together when we're fighting some-thing so urgent as the diabetes epidemic,” said Bertha Skye on July 6, during the Six Na-tions Health Foundation third annual golf fund raising tour-nament. “It's the hottest day of the year,” she observed.

The Health Foundation raises money to help offset

the community's portion of the cost of the dialysis unit at the White Pines Health Centre said president Ruby Jacobs. She believes the foundation has paid $210,000 towards the cost now, and thinks the commitment will have been met after “two more years of heavy work.”

But the Foundation will not stop. “We're mandated for two things,” said Jacobs. “We raise funds to support projects to help the Health Depart-

ment,” projects not normally supported by core funding from the government. “The second is to continue with supporting and sponsoring health service events to pro-mote healthiness and a healthy community. We would keep on doing that.”

This year the Health Foun-dation is looking at addressing the gap that exists between the youth and community elders, Jacobs said. A registered char-ity, the Health Foundation re-lies on its volunteers to keep the funds flowing in.

Melba Thomas, who sits on the Foundation Board, and represents District Six at Elected Council said each per-son on the board takes the lead on a project. Brody Thomas organized the golf tournament, as he has for the previous two years.

“We got a television and nice pictures for the dialysis unit,” Skye said, noting peo-ple receiving the life-saving treatment have to stay in place for four hours. “We got nice furniture and blankets. We're fund-raising for a couple more dialysis chairs.”

While a two-vehicle col-lision on Highway Six al-most in front of the Sundrim Golf Course saw the highway closed briefly, it wasn't enough to stop Six Nations golfers from participating in the tour-nament. By the time the tour-nament got underway at 11:30 am, 64 people had registered.

Some lucky golfers did not

go away empty-handed, al-though the big prizes, like the golf vacation, a brand new Chevy Trax and a $500 shop-ping spree were not landed by anybody (golfers had to shoot a hole-in-one to win), Brody Thomas said there were other prizes given out. Tables in the club house were loaded with an assortment of goods, from

a Pembleton blanket to fire-works, a clock and a tool set among others.

“All the directors are re-quired to bring in two spon-sors,” said Melba Thomas. Foundation directors are also required to bring in donations for fund raising events, she said. “A lot of it is out of our own pockets.”

By Jim WindleBRANTFORD

Members of the Men’s Fire volunteered their time and en-ergy to clean up a parcel of Six Nations land located at 431 West Street in Brantford on Sunday, and to make a sub-tle statement.

The men arrived at around 10:30 in the morning with lawn mowers and weed-whackers to “make the prop-erty a little less of an eyesore to it’s neighbours.”

“We are here to maintain the land and to try and tell the City of Brantford that we still own it and it is not for sale,” said Mens’s Fire member Bill Monture. “We are making our presence known in a peaceful and positive way, and to clean it up for our neighbours.”

The controversy over the property began several years ago when a city resident be-queathed his house and the land it is on to the Six Na-tions Elected Band Council after his death.

Because it now represents land within the city which is held in trust for the people of Six Nations by the Elected Council, it should be consid-ered Six Nations land and not taxable by the City of Brant-ford, according to Monture.

In 1997, an agreement was reached between Brantford’s Mayor Chris Friel and Six Na-tions interests at the time in-volving Brantford’s plans to service the Industrial North-west section of the city, which required the crossing of the Grand River by a major sew-er line.

The work was protested by Six Nations citizens until an agreement was reached. Part of that agreement clearly states that land within the geo-graphical city limits, but held in trust for Six Nations, would not be taxable by the city.

However, Friel and his new council seem to be ignor-ing this stipulation and have been accumulating taxes on the land anyhow. This “tax arrears” problem has now grown to around $40,000.

A majority of city council-lors voted a couple of weeks ago in favour of putting the West Street land up for tax sale, which is what they would do if a Brantford citi-zen refused to pay his or her taxes.

Elected Chief Bill Montour has sent notice to the city and the Ontario Municipal Assess-ment Board indicating they have no intention of paying taxes on reserve land or land held in trust for Six Nations.

The Men’s Fire agrees with that stance and put their en-dorsement on it by going over to service what they believe is Six Nations land, and to de-liver a subtle message.

“We went to talk to Bill (Elected Chief Bill Montour) about what we were going to do before we did it so he knows what’s going on, and he was OK with that,” said Monture.

Mohawk Chief Ted Squire representing the Mohawk Workers who have occupied the former Kanata Village for five years, also came by with his support of the Men’s Fire maintaining the property.

While at the West Street site, the men also put up a “Notice to Trespassers with-in the Haldimand Proclama-tion of Oct. 24, 1784, and the Nanfan Treaty of 1701.”

It goes on to read, “In the event that the above notice is violated, for any reason, if you set foot on the aforementioned property, the Ontario Provin-cial Police will be contact-ed, who will be instructed to charge you under the Trespass to Property Act. No further warning will be given and you are advised to conduct your-selves accordingly.”

The Men’s Fire has no in-tention of allowing Six Na-

tions land to be taxed by the municipality of Brantford, or anyone else for that matter. But more importantly, they will strongly oppose any at-tempts by the city to sell the land.

“It’s time we start doing things rather than just talk-ing,” said Monture. “This (land) is ours and we are not going to let it slip through our fingers.”

Another property located on Gilkinson Street in West Brantford is also being eyed by the city for what they be-lieve is around $30,000 in tax arrears. This land was also be-queathed by a Brantford citi-zen years ago, but specifically to the Mohawk Nation.

Men’s Fire cleans up 431 West Street - and delivers a message

Members of the Men’s Fire, armed with lawn mowers and weed-whackers converged on a parcel of land located at 431 West Street to clean up the overgrown lawn and repair a fence. They also delivered a notice of trespass to anyone — includ-ing the City of Brantford — from going onto the land without permission. Brantford is trying to sell off the land for $40,000 in back taxes, which Six Nations Elected Council Chief and the Men’s Fire believe, is not taxable. (Photo by Jim Windle)

The Six Nations Chiefs re-main in first place in the Ma-jor Series, five points ahead of second place Peterborough and 10 points ahead of third place Brooklin after games this week which included a rare loss.

The Peterborough Lak-ers handed the Six Nations Chiefs their second loss of the OLA Major Series sea-son Saturday night at the ILA.

The Chiefs fell behind 4-2 after the first 20 minutes of play which began with Mark

Steenhuis scoring on Evan Kirk at 2:59 from Tyler Carl-son and Alex Henderson. Chiefs’ Mike McNamara tied the game at 3:22, unassisted.

Peterborough’s Shawn Ev-ans scored back-to-back goals at 13:06 and 18:14 before Co-lin Doyle scored Six Nations second goal as time wound down to end the period with the Lakers leading 4-2.

John Grant increased Peter-borough’s lead to 5-2 at 6:30 which Craig Point answered at 10:13. Grant scored again at 11:11 and Evans tallied his third of the game at 13:20, both goals were unassisted.

Cory Bomberry, one of three Sr. B Rivermen called up while the Rivermen await a playoff partner, scored his first of three with a rocket launched from outside which was in the net before goal-ie Tyler Carson could make a move. He was assisted by Craig Point and Cody Jamie-son at 17:35. Other Rivermen in the Chiefs lineup included Peter Hill and Chancey John-son.

Bomberry scored again to open the third period for the Chiefs to make it 7-5, assisted by fellow Rivermen Chancey Johnson and Pete Hill at 1:09.

The teams traded goals until the halfway point in the period when the Chiefs strung three goals together to pull within grasp of the lead. Doyle made good at 12:27 from Jesse Gamble, and again at 15:36 from Chancey John-son and Pete Hill.

“None of them (call ups) hurt us tonight,” said Kilgour. “In fact Cory scored three goals. It was the rest of the team that played an undisci-plined game in taking pen-alties when we really didn’t have to. Peterborough has a good powerplay so that was the difference tonight.”

Alex Hill scored at 18:32 from Doyle to make it a one goal game at 10-9 for the Lak-

ers. The Chiefs continued to press but John Grant closed the door on the comeback with his third of the night.

As is usually the case be-tween these two rivals, it was a hard fought outing for both sides as there is little love lost between these two competi-tors. At the same time, there is also a lot of mutual respect.

“We were undisciplined and you are not going to win a game in the box,” said coach Rich Kilgour after the game. “We had a talk before the game about Peterborough’s only hope is to make the game a bit chippy with lots of de-

lays (to break any momen-tum) and we fell right into it. We’ve been getting away with it the last two or three games but we knew it would bite us in the behind sometime and tonight was the time.”

Kilgour is hoping his team will learn from it.

“I hope we will realize that if we just play lacrosse we’re a really good team, but if we fall into a Peterborough type game this is what is going to happen,” Kilgour said. “I al-ways say, you win some, and you learn some. Hopefully to-night we learned something.”

The Chief were back in

action Monday night in Oakville to take on the Rock and earned an easy 10-3 win without the help from the Riv-ermen.

The Chiefs remain in first place with the Lakers breath-ing down their necks as the Major Series regular season winds down.

Wednesday night, July 17th, the Chiefs stay on the road for a battle in Brooklin to take on the third place Red-men.

This coming Sunday after-noon at 2 pm. the Chiefs re-turn to the ILA to host the KW Kodiaks.

Chiefs still clinging onto first place

The defending Founders Cup Champion Six Nations Rebels are one game away from a sweep of the Niagara Thunderhawks in the OLA Jr. B Quarter-final round after defeating the Thunderhawks 12-4 last Friday night at the ILA followed by Sunday’s 8-4 win in Niagara.

The Rebels could sweep the Thunderhawks this com-ing Friday night at ILA where the action starts at 8 pm.

Despite the 12-4 win over the Thunderhawks in the the first game of the Quarterfinals,

coach Murray Porter was not taking anything for granted.

Behind the Niagara bench is Randy Chrysler, his former Rebels coach, whom Porter knows well. He knows that Chrysler is a competitor and that he does not take losing well.

“It will be a much different team we will be facing in their barn,” said Porter after the one sided Game #1 win. “This Ni-agara team is the best there is left in the Western Confer-ence. They are better than Windsor and Orangeville so this is going to be the toughest team in the Western Confer-ence I think.”

And there were as few flashes of this being true even throughout the 12-4 Rebels win, especially in the second period when the Thunder-hawks were going stride for stride with the speedy Six Na-tions team.

The Rebels opened up a 5-1 wound in the Thunderhawks in the first period beginning right off the hop as Kyle Isaa-cs beat Niagara goaltender Marlin Wilson at 54 seconds, shorthanded and unassisted. Six Nations’ Marcus Elvin was serving two minutes for

slashing, 12 seconds into the game.

Jacob Bomberry made it 2-0 with another shorthand-er at 8:18, assisted by Dallas John and Frank Brown with Ian Martin in the box for slashing.

Mitch Green exploded for three back-to-back power-play goals for a natural hat-trick at 13:10, 17:26 and again at 18:11 Niagara’s Austin Wright stole a pass and scam-pered down the floor all alone to beat Chace Martin at 19:16 to get his team into the game.

Kessler Doolittle opened the second period to earn a 6-1 Six Nations lead seconds, un-assisted, before Isaacs scored his second of the night at 3:55, shorthanded.

By this time the Thunder-hawks began to get over the shock and awe of the 2013 Rebels and began to apply some pressure of their own, keeping stride with the Rebels which resulted in a powerplay tally by Zac Dubic, a Niagara AP player, and Anthony Pat-terson at even strength to cut into the Rebels lead, 7-3.

Austin Staats scored at 14:28 assisted by Jesse John-son and Ian Martin to push back at the charging Thun-derhawks before the second period ended. There were at least three Niagara shots that got past the Six Nations net-minder but bounced off the post or crossbar, but when you’re that good, luck isn’t too far behind.

Jesse Johnson, Staats and Green put the game in the bag to begin the third period with three unanswered Six Nations

Rebels silencing Niagara Thunder - could sweep them Friday


When they say the playoffs are an all new season, they meant it.

The Six Nations Arrows completed the Jr regular sea-son on top of the 11 team league and were matched up against the eighth place Kitchener-Waterloo Braves in round one of the playoffs.

The Braves brought down the high flying Six Nations Arrows 12-11 in double over-time Sunday evening at the ILA in Game #1.

Game #2 of the best-of-five series, was played on the road Tuesday night. Results were unavailable by press deadline.

The Arrows Express rolls again Thursday night, July 18, at the ILA at 8 pm, with Game #4 set for the Waterloo Rec Complex Friday night. Game #5, if necessary, will go Saturday night, July 20th, back at the ILA at 7 pm.

The Arrows lineup has been decimated recently by an out-break of some form of staph

infection of the skin which has sidelined some of their key players, whom we are told may not see action again for the rest of this year. Still out of the lineup are Quinn Pow-less, Randy Staats and Bran-don Montour. Between them, they accounted for 116 points during the regular season.

Despite the missing bodies, the Arrows got off to a good start, scoring the first three goals of the contest.

Josh Johnson, Jordan Dur-ston, and Luc Magnan gave Six Nations a 3-0 lead by the 6:30 mark of the first period. Braves Wyatt Barfoot scored for KW at 7:27.

Johnny Powless and Bren-dan Bomberry gave the Ar-rows a 5-1 lead before Kyle Jackson produced the Braves second goal at 14:28.

Josh Johnson made it 6-2 at 15:45.

Bomberry scored his sec-ond of the game at 3:18 of the second period, unassisted, be-fore KW’s Dhane Smith net-ted goals for the Braves at 9:14 and 15:17. Josh Johnson

made it 8-4 at 15:50, but the Braves connected three times late in the period to cut the Six Nations lead to 8-7.

Powless ended the second period for the Arrows who took a 9-7 lead into the sec-ond intermission.

The Arrows started to fade in the third and KW took full advantage by scoring at 49 seconds and again at 1:06.

Powless scored his third of the game at 13:20 to regain the Arrows’ narrow one goal lead, but Jake Pleon tied it all up at 11-11 at 15:58 which is where the score stayed until regulation time ended.

In the first OT period, Dur-ston scored at 9:19, but Eric Guiltinan tied it again at 9:32 and suddenly a second OT session was needed. Drake Smith scored the winner for the Braves at 4:47 of the sec-ond OT frame to earn the win.

ARROWS 11 BEACHES 6

The Six Nations Arrows started off on the right foot

against the ninth place To-ronto Beaches at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena last Thursday night, but had to weather a To-ronto storm in the second pe-riod to eventually take the two points with a score of 11-6.

Vaughn Harris scored at 2:34 from Kai Tarbell and Brier Jonathan, and Brendan

Bomberry added another at 10:44 on a powerplay from Tarbell and Haodais Mara-cle. Even with the lead, the Arrows seemed to be having a much harder time with the Beaches than they ought to have had.

Chad Levick interrupted the Arrows four goal first period

at 13:54, but Shane Simpson and Adam Bomberry finished the first 20 minutes with the Arrows leading 4-1.

It seems the Beaches no-ticed that the Arrows seemed to not be themselves and took advantage early in the second, scoring three unanswered

goals. Niagara’s Ryan Wag-ner scored from Cam Seneca at 15:45 with the last Thun-derhawks goal of night, but Ian Martin ended the game at 19:06 from John and Staats.

Staats (2G,3A), Martin (1G,4A), and John (5A) col-lected five points each, with Mitch Green enjoying a four goal performance.

Sunday in Niagara, the Rebels continued in their fo-cused path towards their third Founders Cup in as many years with an 8-4 win in Game #2 of the best of five series.

Coach Porter was looking for a tougher game in Game #2, and he got it despite Six Nations outshooting the home team 62-30.

Stellar play by Marlin Wil-son in the Niagara net kept the two teams neck and neck until the third period when the Reb-els turned on the afterburners and left the Thunderhawks in the dust.

Dallas John drew first blood

at 2:22 from Ian Martin and Brodie Tansley. A minute and a half later Niagara tied the game with Moe Bissell’s goal. There was no more scoring until 12:25 when Austin Sta-ats gave the Rebels the lead again from Marcus Elvin and Jesse Johnson.

Kyle Isaacs closed the first period with a goal scored at 16:02 from John and Martin.

The team Porter anticipated to face in Game #2 came out for the second period as they pushed back against the Reb-els powerful offense.

Blade Garlow scored for Niagara at 1:42 from Zack Antone and David Everit tied the score at 3-3 at 12:19 while Wilson was standing on his head in the Thunderhawks net, turning aside shot after shot from Rebels marksmen.

Mitch Green finally scored for the Rebs at 13:41 from Martin to regain the slim ad-vantage, but Cam Seneca tied the game again at 19:09 to send the teams into the final

20 minutes even at 4-4.A few cracks if the whip by

the Rebels coaching staff be-tween periods threw the Reb-els machine into high gear in the third when Greg Long-boat, John, Isaacs and Green

all netted goals while goalie Doug Jamieson closed the door on Niagara at the other end.

The Six Nations Rebels are still perfect for 2013, includ-ing playoffs so far.

goals at 2:18, 7:24 and 9:19, evening the score at 4-4.

Maracle stopped the charge at 10:05 with a goals from Adam Bomberry and Jordan Durston. But it would only be temporary as the Beaches net-ted goals at 10:30 and took the 6-5 lead at 12:17.

The Arrows responded with three more before the period ended notched by Brendan Bomberry, Durston and Simp-son to end the middle frame ahead 8-6 and starting to look more like the Arrows fans are used to watching.

Warren Hill blocked all To-ronto shots in the third while Tarbell, Maracle and Durston added to the Six Nations lead to take an 11-6 win, but still looking a bit out of sorts. The Arrows only slightly outshot the Beaches, 42-40.

ARROWS 10 TOMAHAWKS 4

Last Friday, Six Nations completed the regular sea-son in Mississauga where they had little trouble defeat-ing the Tomahawks by the score of 10-4. Vaughn Harris scored four and added an as-sist to lead the Arrows attack while Don Alton earned the win in goal.

Council adopts lien measure to combat

dumpingSix Nations Elected Coun-

cil has passed a resolution to send some property owners a letter warning council will put a lien on the property if dumped construction waste (e.g.: roofing shingles) is not

cleaned up. Council made the decision during its July 9 meeting.

Recycling contract awarded

A.W. First Nations Recy-cling will be offered the con-tract to handle Six Nations recycling. The decision fol-lows a tendering process. During council's July 15 meeting of Committee of the

Whole, several councillors expressed concern the con-tract might negatively impact on the waste pickup service provided by Don Hill. Dis-trict Two Councillor Carl Hill spoke for the committee that had reviewed the tender sub-missions. “That's been taken care of,” Hill said. “As far as I know it won't affect Don Hill. What they're doing is recycling.” The decision was finalized during the July 16 meeting of Elected Council.

Six Nations to repay over $10 thousand to OntarioUnspent funds that Six Na-

tions received from the Min-istry of Aboriginal Affairs in 2010 will be returned to the province. Lands and Resourc-es Director Lonnie Bomberry told the July 15 meeting of council's Committee of the Whole that he had tried ev-ery avenue possible to keep $10,598.92, but was not suc-

cessful. Bomberry said the money was given to Six Na-tions at a time when tensions were high in Caledonia and Brantford because of Six Na-tions land rights protests. The money was to be used to hold educational workshops on land rights between Six Na-tions and surrounding mu-nicipalities, but Bomberry said Six Nations was only able to hold one workshop with Haldimand County rep-resentatives, as well as some in-house sessions. “Time ran out,” Bomberry said.

“We normally try to exhaust all avenues first,” said Finance Director Gary Phillips assured the Committee. “The money isn't sent back without a fight.”

Two new Mohawk programs to be offered at

PolytechRepresentatives from Mo-

hawk College attended the July 15 meeting of the Com-

mittee of the Whole to provide an update to council, the sec-ond such visit this year. The college is dedicated to im-proving the educational suc-cess of Indigenous students, and has recently managed to secure a three-year funding framework for the students. The two new programs to be offered at Polytech are the result of what Wayne Poiri-er, Vice-President of Student Services, said is the result of an enhanced collaboration be-tween the two educational fa-cilities. Poirier said the head of Polytech, Rebecca Jamie-son, has been advocating for a standardized articulation agreement for students. That agreement is anticipated to be in place by the end of the sum-mer, he said.

The first new course, part of the nursing program, is on Concurrent Disorders. That course will start in September. The Personal Support Worker

course will start in the winter. Poirier said the partnership with Polytech “is going re-ally well.”

Mohawk students have more and more options now. Poirier said they can get cer-tification, a diploma or an advanced degree, thanks to partnerships the college is forging with other colleges and with McMaster Univer-sity. Mohawk and Sheridan College will be working to-gether, and Poirier said there will be 20 courses available to students through the collabo-ration. “It cuts the costs of ed-ucation significantly,” he said. “There is a lot of opportunity for [Aboriginal] students to have different pathways,” he said.

Poirier and his colleague, Ron McLester, Manager of Aboriginal Education at Mohawk said they want the guidance and support of Six

Cars on territory targeted by thieves

Six Nations Police are warning residents about thieves targeting cars after a rash of car thefts that oc-curred overnight on July 14 and into the early morning of Monday July 15. According to a statement posted on the Six Nations Police website, two cars were stolen and two different stolen vehicles were recovered. Two attempted thefts were also reported.

The first call came in on Sunday July 14 at 9:30 pm when a person reported a black Chevrolet Tahoe was stolen from a River Range Road residence. Later that night, at 11:41 pm, a person reported the theft of a grey Chevrolet Blazer from the parking lot at the Iroquois Lodge.

On Monday July 15, a Chevrolet Blazer reported stolen in Brantford was recov-ered from behind a Townline residence at 1:40 in the morn-ing. At 4 am, police received a report of an attempted theft of a black Chevrolet Sierra truck from the parking lot at the Youth Lodge. At 6 am, police were informed about a black Chevrolet Blazer from a Pine Crescent residence, but it is not known if it was stolen or if someone had attempted to steal the vehicle.

The police did not say if they have arrested anyone in connection with the thefts, only saying the incidents are all being investigated.

16 year old Ohsweken youth caught after pursuit

A sixteen year old, who cannot be identified, was caught attempting to steal an Avalanche from a home on MacKenzie Road in Caledo-nia. Six Nations Police said they were informed of the vehicle theft in progress by Haldimand OPP on Monday July 15 at 3:30 in the morn-ing. According to a statement posted online by the Six Na-tions Police, occupants of a black pick-up truck were try-

ing to steal the Avalanche but were intercepted by the OPP. A person driving the stolen Avalanche deliberately drove into the OPP car that was re-sponding to the call. Six Na-tions officers who were on the scene to provide assistance witnessed the collision and tried to stop the Avalanche.

Police said the driver in the Avalanche failed to stop, in-stead sped away southbound on Highway Six, turning east on Third Line Road. Police used a spikebelt to stop the suspect, and although the tires were flattened, the driver con-tinued to Chiefswood Road, through the village all the way to the Bingo Hall where the vehicle got stuck on the lawn. Officers were able to arrest the suspect, who now faces nu-merous criminal charges, said the statement. Police did not specify the charges.

Break and enter on Sixth Line Road

Thieves stole a 42 inch flat screen television, an X-Box gaming system, lap top computer and a Wii gaming system during a break-in on Thursday July 11. Police said the home owner returned home to his Sixth Line resi-dence at 5 pm to find a rear sliding door open and the electronics missing. Police said the suspect or suspects forced open a basement win-dow to get into the house. An investigation is still underway.

Vehicle fire Police are investigating a

vehicle fire that was reported on Friday July 12 at four in the morning. Officers who responded to the call found the Six Nations Fire Depart-ment on the scene on Third Line Road. A 2007 black Dodge truck was completely destroyed, said the police. It is believed the truck was east-bound on Third Line Road when it crossed the center line and went into the ditch, coming to a stop at a drive-way. Police said the vehicle was empty and no occupants were at the scene. The inves-tigation continues.

Nations, and offered to sit down with Six Nations to see what medium-range educa-tional needs are. Poirier said in the past the college didn't think about future training needs, but now has a strate-gic focus.

Several Six Nations coun-

cillors expressed interest in at-tending a leadership meet and greet with Mohawk College after being invited by McLes-ter and Poirier.

Mohawk currently works not only with Six Nations Polytechnic, but with Grand River Employment and Train-ing (GREAT) and OSTTC.
