Six Nations new senior administrator sets to hone in on good stewardship, unity and peace STAFF REPORT

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations new Senior Administrative Officer Darrin Jamieson says he has a vision for his new role in the community: to bring good stewardship, unity and peace back into focus. Jamieson previously worked at Six Nations as a business consultant helping over 150 of Six Nations entrepreneurs set up businesses. The Jamieson family name is well known at Six Nations when it comes to community leadership. His father, mother, siblings, aunts and uncles have all held leadership positions in the community in business, education and governance. For the last six years Darrin has worked in different First Nations in areas of economic development and governance. “It was a shift for me but it was a good shift,” said Jamieson, about his move west to work with the Ktunaxa Nation in BC and Tsuut’ina Nation in Alberta. “It was time to get into that kind of a role, a more kind of governance role.” After assisting those nations develop business ventures and economic development opportuni-

ties, Jamieson saw the opportunity to return home to Six Nations to fulfill the role of SAO. He steps in as the community has faced an onslaught of rising governance issues including land disputes, personal attacks and chaos amidst members of chief and council as well as the impacts of COVID-19. “It’s been a challenge,” said Jamieson — acknowledging that the worldwide coronavirus pandemic has taken it’s toll on everyone, including council members. “I think people are stressed.” “The pandemic has been intrusive and that is part of the reason for so much tension,” said Jamieson. “People are worried.
They don’t want to make the wrong move. A lot of decisions are scrutinized and it becomes a defensive position. We have to get past that. I’m trying to get them to focus on the vision for the community — how do we action that?” Jamieson says for his part in this administration — he is seeking to carve out space for the council to be able to refine a governance plan, detach from some of the administrative micromanaging that has taken hold over the years and balance the governance and administrative arms of the elected system. He also says the council needs to step up and educate the community about Six Nations histo-
ry — something he says has been missing and has contributed to some of the larger community tensions facing the elected council system at large. “I look to this court case coming in 2022 as the real thing that we need to focus on going forward. It’s a positive thing. We need to do more education in the community. We have a big problem with land disputes here: we don’t have a common level of understanding. There’s more of that to come. It's important that people get that. I know that the land protectors, protesters, their heart is in the right place. It’s just one of those deals where there’s been wrongdoings in the past. As much as possible let's look at a more peaceful approach to it and let a court decide. They are a third party. It’s an independent body. They adjudicate, it’s a due process, it might not be our court but I think it’s the fairest mechanism we can look to,” said Jamieson. “We’re one of those communities where we have lots of different views. As much as possible we have to come to a more common level about our history and all of the land issues around it. We always focus on negatives — and our history has been about peace time. What
were the conditions that contributed to peace time? Let’s look at those times. They may have been few and far between— but they are there. I want to bring that perspective back,” said Jamieson. “Going back to our Haudenosaunee values — everyone holds those. If you strip away the tensions and everything else, that is still there. I think there needs to be some refocus on that. We need to strengthen ourselves individually. I think sometimes we get lost, we get down these different paths because we want to stick it to the government or whatever — that’s just how people get. It’s also trauma informed. Our people have trauma. So that manifested itself in action. That is something I am keenly aware of.” “I’m encouraged by some of the steps that are starting to take place. If we change the rhetoric and we change the vision or objective in our community and become more nation building and become about unity - yes we need to be sovereign and united but we also need to make sure we have the conditions for success. We need to make sure we’re not all burning out as well. Thats really important we have so many people that have such good intention.” PM42686517

OHSWEKEN — The community is easing back on some of the pandemic restrictions put in place to protect Six Nations residents. Starting September 1, the community will transition to Stage 2.5 reopening, a move the Emergency Control Group likened to a baby step toward matching Stage 3 reopening plans in effect in surrounding regions. The new phase raises indoor gatherings to 25 people. Outdoor gatherings can see a max of 40 people and outdoor playgrounds, inflatables and other outdoor facilities can now resume. Gyms and fitness centres can open but must submit a reopening plan to Ohsweken Public Health and the ECG for approval. Post secondary and secondary schools can now reopen as can elementary schools - however elementary school instruction
will continue to be remote learning through to November. The Six Nations Sports and Cultural Memorial Centre grounds has been home to the community’s COVID testing centre. Now the reopening plan includes some of the facilities located there. SNGR says further information on those specific sites reopening — like the outdoor running track and Six Nations Community Hall — will be updated in the coming days. The ECG says that restaurants must continue to offer patio and curbside pick up options only and Six Nations childcare facilities will remain closed as well. The elected council also recommended local businesses continue with contactless payment options and advised workers not to handle status cards or debit cards but says businesses should establish contactless options for their staff. “The Emergency Control Group decided to develop Stage 2.5 within the Health and Safety
Guidelines. The safety of our community continues to be top of mind. Professionals within this group felt it was too soon to move to Stage 3, which is why Stage 2.5 was developed,” said the ECG. “Recommendations of increased levels of caution to limit the spread continue to be stressed to the community,” said Director of Health Services Lori Davis Hill, “Please be reminded that we are still in a Pandemic and with schools resuming we must remain on guard with our good health practices, and continue to protect our people.” The ECG continues to recommend infection control measures throughout community households including: · Practicing good hygiene; · Staying home and away from others if symptomatic/feeling ill, · Maintaining physical distancing as much as possible when outside of the home; · Cleaning and disinfecting high touch point surfaces regularly;
· Staying at home as much as possible if at high risk of severe illness (impacts of Covid-19); · Wearing cloth face coverings when in public settings as recommended; · Wearing a medical mask or cloth face covering, if experiencing symptoms of any communicable disease, and if will be in close contact with others or going out to access medical care; · Reducing personal non-essential travel Businesses can schedule a free health and environmental inspection by contacting the Six Nations COVID-19 Guidance Hotline for Businesses at 519-750-4908 during business hours Monday to Friday from 8:30a.m. to 4:30p.m. Site visits can be requested even if your business has been operating for a while.

COVID outbreak at Caledonia daycare STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
CALEDONIA — A Haldimand County child care centre has declared an outbreak of COVID-19 after one child tested positive for the coronavirus. The child was attending the Haldimand-Norfolk REACH child care centre at McKinnon Park Secondary School in Caledonia.
September 2nd, 2020
That student is not attending the centre and the four students in their class are not attending. The school says students in other classrooms were not affected. A total of 18 children attend that facility. Haldimand-Norfolk has been one of the hardest hit regions in Ontario for COVID-19. There are 24 active cases, a total of 423 people have recovered and 32 deaths.
VICTORIA - An outbreak of COVID-19 in British Columbia's Nass Valley has prompted an alert from the Northern and First Nations health authorities. A joint statement Tuesday from Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says there have been 58 new cases of COVID-19 for a total of 5,848 cases. There has been one additional death, while 4,505 people who tested positive have recovered. Since the pandemic began, 209 people have died.
The government also announced it is extending the provincial state of emergency until the end of the day on Sept. 15, which allows Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth to use extraordinary powers in response to the pandemic. Ten tickets have been issued since the government gave authorities the ability to issue $2,000 tickets for violating the provincial health officer's orders on gatherings, the statement says. Six of those were for $2,000 related to gatherings and events, while four
were issued to individuals for $200 each. Dix says the province is almost back to its regular timelines for surgery after completing about 66 per cent of the more than 17,000 procedures that were postponed at the start of the pandemic. The government says in a news release that it's working with staff, unions and others to determine the best way to extend daily hours and open operating rooms on the weekends. The government has hired more anesthesiolo-
gists, nurses and medical technicians to help accelerate the process. Dix says that's why it's so important to keep the infection rate low. ``Right now, perhaps more than at any other time in our B.C. pandemic, we're counting on each other to stop the spread of COVID-19,'' he says in the release. ``And the remarkable British Columbians involved in surgical renewal and getting patients the surgeries they need are counting on us to do our work, so they can continue to do theirs.''

Residential school era marked in official Canadian history STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — The dark heritage of Canada's residential schools is being formally recognized as one of the events that helped shape the country. The federal government has put residential schools on the official list of National Historic Events. Two of the schools —
one in Nova Scotia and one in Manitoba — have been designated National Historic Sites. Chief Dennis Meeches of the Long Plain First Nation near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba says it's important to mark what happened at the school there. He says the band, which owns the building and uses it for offices, hopes to open a national residential school museum on the
site. Jonathan Wilkinson, minister responsible for historic sites and monuments, says history has to tackle tough subjects as well as happy events. Ry Moran of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba says Canada still has a long way to go before it can claim to tell the whole story of Indigenous people.

Children's commutes to school are complicated by the coronavirus pandemic By Michelle O'Kane, PhD Student, Social Work, University of British Columbia For many children, September marks a return to school after several months' absence. With this comes the return of the school commute. In North America, increased distances between home and school, changing working patterns and commuting time and child safety concerns have contributed to the ``backseat generation'' — a significant increase in children arriving to school in a car at the expense of activities such as walking and biking. This trend of children increasingly being escorted or monitored is also seen in other areas such as unsupervised outdoor play (replaced by structured sports and activities) and latchkey children (replaced with after-school care programs). The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted understandable anxiety in relation to many facets of everyday life, and children's return to school — and how they will get there — is no exception. This anxiety, plus the ongoing flexibility in the By TRT Staff Sunday August 30th a concert was held at the encampment at McKenzie Road in Caledonia. Skyler Williams wrote on Facebook, "What an amazing day! Huge thank you to all our amazing friends. Derek Miller, Jace Martin, Big Joe Sharrow and Logan Staats. Who all came and performed
working arrangements of many parents, could lead to increased numbers of backseat and escorted children this September, making this even more of a norm.
External judgment Families who do not provide in-person supervision for their children are increasingly conscious of external judgement. In B.C., a recent high-profile example resulted in a parent, Adrian Crook, taking the Ministry of Children and Family Development to court for stating that his children, ranging from seven to 11 years in age, could not use transit unsupervised to get to school. When this case made the news, I was a researcher involved in a study that interviewed parents about their children's outdoor unsupervised time. Many parents referred to this case and expressed fears about ``being reported.'' As a social worker, I found parents' confusion and worry about the policies of social work organizations concerning. B.C. is among the majority of provinces and territories in Canada that does not set the age at
which children can be unsupervised. Manitoba and New Brunswick specify 12 years and Ontario sets the age at 16.
Reasonable care A recent case reported in Manitoba suggests that this age-based standard is being upheld. However, in each of these jurisdictions, an underage unsupervised child only becomes a child protection matter if the adult responsible for them has not made reasonable provisions for their supervision or care. Deciding what is reasonable depends on various factors, such as the capabilities of the child, their feelings about being unsupervised, their ability to respond to emergencies and any specific risks in the child's environment. The same concept of reasonableness also underpins decision-making in jurisdictions where age thresholds are not set. The B.C. Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Crook in July. However, this has not resulted in a change to B.C. law or policy regarding unsupervised children, something that may not be clear from a simple glance at some of the media headlines. The final judgment instead
reiterated that social work authorities cannot make decisions about a child unless the child is in their care or the authority has a legal order in regard to them. Whether or B.C.'s Ministry of Children and Family Development had authority to direct the father's care and decision-making was the focus of the appeal, not the content of the decision-making itself. This is in contrast to cases in the United States that have prompted policy change and legal amendments underscoring that the focus of the child protection system is identifying harm or a quantifiable risk of harm to children.
Standards of supervision In order to assess the circumstances of unsupervised children and determine if there is a child protection concern, social workers need to speak to families and gather information. However, there is also a need to be reflective regarding the supervision standards that are being applied, since they vary. In a recent study, the average age at which children in five European countries were allowed to play outside spanned from
5.8 years in Norway to 11.8 years in Greece. Other research has identified an association between higher rates of outdoor play and unstructured activities and lower socio-economic status. It is therefore important to ensure that any standard set in law or enacted through policy does not reflect the cultural or class-based norms of only one group. Unfortunately, applying a reasonableness standard does not provide parents with a clear and set answer to the question: When can my child travel to school alone? However, it does allow for flexibility in meeting the diverse needs of different families. The best approach is to discuss any plans with the child in advance and to follow guidance on how to prepare them. This helps to reduce any risks to the child in being alone, but elimination of all risk in childhood is not achievable. A risk-averse society can lead to a risk-averse child protection system. Instead, we should seek the balance of children being ``as safe as necessary,'' not ``as safe as possible.’' Commuting in a pandemic
COVID-19 means this back-to-school season has new challenges. Children walking or cycling to school with others will need to know the guidance on maintaining physical distancing requirements or their social bubbles. In areas where bus capacities are capped and mask use is mandatory, deciding if a child is ready to take transit to school alone or with peers will include additional considerations: How well can the child follow mask use guidelines when unsupervised? If they do not follow guidelines, how will they cope if challenged? How will they react if multiple, full-to-capacity buses do not allow them to board? Plans may also need to change with the circumstances as the number of COVID-19 cases fluctuates. However, although adherence to these public health requirements is a challenge, a child's failure to follow these rules is, in and of itself, not a child protection matter. ___ This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

Quotes from Sir John A. Macdonald, author of Canada’s secret genocide JIM WINDLE
jim@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
He was a serious racist, a drunk, a political bully and Canada’s first Prime Minister — Sir John A. Macdonald was all of the above. Under his watch, many moves were made for the fledgling Canadian Dominion making him a hero in the eyes of his fellow Conservatives and, in time, all Canadians. So why are the many statues of Sir John being defaced and pulled down across Canada? Maybe it’s the fact that the years and decades-old historical documents are no longer hidden, thanks to the advent of the digital age. Encouraged by the street protests in the US — Indigenous and Black Canadian activists have turned their frustration towards the Canadian government and its glorifica-
tion of racist leaders like Macdonald. Let us point out a few recorded quotes from the lips of Sir John regarding his clearly genocidal policies against Indigenous nations. Macdonald was an equal-opportunity racist. He put unfair policies in place against Chinese Canadians after thousands of Chinese lives were snuffed out building his famous coast to coast railway. Macdonald was also the architect of the residential school system, which Duncan Campbell Scott perfected some years later. For this article, we stick to Macdonald’s racism towards the Indigenous populations from Halifax to Vancouver Island — his hunger for their land, and the taxes that a growing flood of European settlers would bring in. In a letter from 1870 he writes, “We should take immediate steps to extinguish the Indian titles …
and open it for settlement. There will otherwise be an influx of squatters who will seize upon the most eligible positions and greatly disturb the symmetry [organization] of future surveys.” Between 1880 and 1885, the population of Plains First Nations dropped from 32,000 to 20,000, according to analysis by the Cree-Saulteaux academic Blair Stonechild. Most of that was due to starvation while under the care of the Canadian government under Macdonald. “I saw the gaunt children dying of hunger … although it was thirty to forty degrees below zero their bodies were scarcely covered with torn rags,” the Catholic missionary Father Louis Cochin reported in the winter of 1883 in the Canadian plains. In 1883, Macdonald introduced his nationwide program of assimilation, but the Liberals pushed
back. “In the (United States) the Indian was the prey of the frontiersman and the cattle driver, in Canada he has been the prey of the government,” said Liberal MP Malcolm Cameron in told the House of Commons in 1886. He accused Macdonald of being “culpably negligent” in his duties to the Indians. “He (Macdonald) developed the habit of putting aside some of his most challenging files to be looked at later,” wrote historian Donald Smith in an essay on Macdonald’s relationship with Aboriginal Canada. “New incoming files soon buried these old ones.” Out west, after the kangaroo court proceedings following the Riel rebellion, a number of Riel’s followers were hanged with him in full view of the others to deliver a message. “The executions of the Indians … ought to convince the Red Man that
the White Man governs,” Macdonald wrote to Edgar Dewdney. "He (Riel) shall die though every dog in Quebec bark in his favour." This he wrote in 1885, following execution of Louis Riel for treason. The following recorded statements stand on their own merits, or lack thereof. In 1880 he wrote, “It is worthy of consideration whether legislative measures should not be adopted for the establishment of some kind of municipal system among such bands as are found sufficiently advanced to justify the experiment being tried. It is hoped that a system may be adopted which will have the effect of accustoming the Indians to the modes of government prevalent in the white communities surrounding them, and that it will thus tend to prepare them for earlier amalgamation with the general population of the country.”
ers marching in the rain under umbrellas and carrying signs bearing slogans such as ``We demand change.'' The protest organizers, who call themselves the Coalition for BIPOC Liberation, are asking cities to reduce their police budgets by 50 per cent. They said the diverted funds could be used to invest in alternatives to policing such as better mental health treatment, civilian conflict resolution services, and trauma-based emergency services. But Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante condemned the vandalism of the statue of Macdonald, which she said could be neither tolerated nor accepted. ``I understand and share the motivation of citizens who want to live in a more just and inclusive society,'' she said in a statement. ``But the discussion and the acts to be taken must be done in a peaceful manner, without ever resorting to vandalism.'' She said the city's public art office would secure the site and coordinate the
statue's preservation. Newly elected Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole was less diplomatic, saying on Twitter that Canada is a great country that people should be proud of. ``We will not build a better future by defacing our past,'' he said. ``It's time politicians grow a backbone and stand up for our country.'' Calls to withdraw funding from police forces have multiplied in both Canada and the United States in the months after George Floyd, a Black man in Minnesota, was killed when a police officer pressed a knee against his neck for nearly nine minutes. This set of protests follow a week that has seen major-league athletes strike over the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was shot in the back seven times by a police officer. The 29-year-old was left paralyzed. This week also saw Ontario's police watchdog clear officers who were in the Toronto home of Regis Korchinski-Paquet when she fell to her death from a 24th-floor balcony in
May. The Special Investigations Unit said officers didn't commit any crimes, but the woman's family said that if officers hadn't been there, she would still be alive. Rallies were also held in Toronto and London, Ont. Others were scheduled in Fredericton, Moncton and Halifax, according to organizers. In Toronto, a protest organized by social justice group Not Another Black Life saw a large crowd of demonstrators take over two parks before culminating in a march through the the city to Toronto Police Headquarters. Protesters were greeted by cheers from those sitting in restaurants and watching from their windows, though a few people shouted profanities at demonstrators. Diana McCormick, a server and bar manager, had just finished her shift when she said she heard a man yelling at protesters in front of the restaurant she works at, taunting them with the phrase ``all lives matter.'' It was at that moment McCormick decided to join
the protest. ``I think it's a really, really important moment, where taking a stand now is becoming more contentious than it used to be,'' she said, pointing to increasingly volatile political rhetoric directed toward protesters from politicians and pundits. ``I'm not anybody important but there is strength in numbers. More of us need to physically show up and not just support from the sidelines.'' The John A. Macdonald statue, which sits in Montreal's Place du Canada, has been repeatedly targeted by vandals who see it as a symbol of racism and colonialism. The statue has regularly been doused in paint by critics who cite Macdonald's role at the head of a government that created the Indian Act and established the residential school system, as well as his racist comments about Indigenous Peoples as reasons to target the monument. Macdonald statues in other Canadian cities have been vandalized in a similar fashion.

TWO ROW TIMES
MONTREAL — Protesters in Montreal toppled and defaced a statue of John A. Macdonald on Saturday as rallies were held in several cities to demand that police services be defunded and reformed. A spokesman for the Montreal police confirmed the statue of Canada's first prime minister was unbolted, pulled down and sprayed with graffiti at around 2:45 p.m. The statue's head disconnected from its body during the incident. Jean-Pierre Brabant said police were on hand but did not intervene other than to ask the crowd to disperse on a loudspeaker. He said no arrests were made. The incident came at the end of a peaceful protest in which police estimate some 200 people marched to call for police defunding as part of what they called a nationwide day of action.

In 1885 he wrote, “….. we have been pampering and coaxing the Indians; that we must take a new course, we must vindicate the position of the white man, we must teach the Indians what law is; we must not pauperise them, as they say we have been doing.” “I have reason to believe that the agents as a whole … are doing all they can, by refusing food until the Indians are on the verge of starvation, to reduce the expense,” Macdonald told the House of Commons in 1882. He was transparent about what the future of Indigenous nations was going to be. In 1887 he wrote, ”The great aim of our legislation has been to do away with the tribal system and assimilate the Indian people in all respects with the other inhabitants of the Dominion as speedily as they are fit to change.”
Trudeau calls out vandals MONTREAL — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is denouncing the defacing of a Montreal statue of the first prime minister of Canada, John A. Macdonald, over the weekend. Trudeau told reporters in Montreal today he understands the impatience of Canadians who want to see more action on racism and systemic discrimination, but said vandalism is not an acceptable way to express those views. That statue had repeatedly been vandalized by critics who cite Macdonald's role in establishing the residential school system, as well as his racist comments about Indigenous peoples. Trudeau says society has work to do in combating systemic discrimination, and should debate the actions of past leaders and the future of monuments honouring them. But, he says, Canada's laws need to be respected as those conversations advance.

Indigenous women's group says police mislabel missing girls as runaways STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
The president of an Indigenous women's group says Amber Alert policies across Canada should be reviewed in light of a recent case involving a missing teenager from Cape Breton. RCMP in Nova Scotia issued a localized emergency alert a week after the 14-year-old girl went missing with a 47-yearold man she knew. That man was arraigned Monday on one count of child abduction. Police have said they did not issue an Amber Alert because they thought the teenager left with him willingly. They now say new evidence indicates she had been abducted. Lorraine Whitman, president of the Native Women's Association of Canada, said Wednesday it's a relief the girl from
We'koqma'q Mi'kmaq First Nation was found safe, but the case highlights a national problem. She pointed to the report from the public inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, which highlighted a pattern of police categorizing missing girls as runaways, slowing down investigations. Whitman says the ``runaway'' stereotype puts underage girls in danger and criteria for alerts should be reviewed to prevent the same delays from affecting another minor. ``They may have ran away, but we have to look at it more in depth,'' she said in an interview. ``We just can't take it as a case that they wanted to leave. We have to look into it because there are more underlying areas that we have to investigate as well.'' The 2019 report on missing and murdered Indigenous women and
girls cited testimony from families who ``shared how stereotypes and victim blaming served to slow down or to impede investigations into their loved ones' disappearances or deaths.'' ``The assumptions tied to Indigenous women, girls ... by police as 'drunks,' 'runaways out partying,' or 'prostitutes unworthy of follow-up' characterized many interactions, and contributed to an even greater loss of trust in the police and in related agencies,'' the report said. Whitman also took issue with the RCMP's statement that the girl left willingly from her foster home with the man she knew. She said a 14-year-old can't make that decision on her own, and suggested that if a non-Indigenous, wealthier child had been involved, the alert would have been sent right away. ``This is almost a week
after this young girl has been missing, and in the woods,'' Whitman said. ``Our lives are very important as well. She was a minor and the RCMP had a due diligence that they had to follow.'' Video surveillance footage placed the 14-yearold and the man at a gas station in Catalone, N.S., on Aug. 13. Before she was found on Aug. 24, community members had been searching the area and pressuring police for more urgency in finding her and to issue an Amber Alert. The We'koqma'q chief and council had offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts. Police issued a localized alert to residents east of the Mira River in Cape Breton a week after the girl ran away. According to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, Amber Alert
programs are provincially operated and only the police can issue them. The criteria for issuing them vary, but the basic requirements include the disappearance of someone under the age of 18 who is suspected of being abducted. RCMP Cpl. Lisa Croteau said Wednesday that information before the girl was found indicated she had not been abducted. New evidence, however, supports the child abduction charge, she said. Croteau said she could not go into specifics about the evidence because the case is before the courts. But Croteau said police did not consider an Amber Alert necessary, because they did not believe the man was on the run with the child. ``From the onset of this investigation, we had strong evidence that they still were camping in the
Cape Breton area and that they did not intend to leave the island,'' Croteau said. She cited ongoing talks with the provincial government about the general protocols for sending public alerts to Nova Scotia residents, adding that it's not within the police's power to change them. Those consultations follow criticism that a provincewide emergency alert was not sent on April 1819, during the manhunt for a killer who claimed 22 lives in the province. Police were chasing a gunman who was dressed as a Mountie during parts of his rampage. When asked if the Nova Scotia RCMP detachment would take a closer look at how it approaches cases involving missing Indigenous kids, Croteau said the force treats all missing person cases seriously regardless of race.

Lives Lost: Seneca Nation mourns 91 year old, 2 daughters By Joaqlin Estus During a recent procession for three Seneca women who died of COVID-19, community members lined the streets. A giant Seneca Nation flag hung over a roadway as roughly 100 vehicles _ school buses, ambulances, police cruisers and loved ones in cars _ made their way through Salamanca, in the Allegany Territory of the tribe's New York reservation. ``They've never done
anything like that before for anyone,'' said Jessica Ludwick, whose mother, grandmother and aunt died within weeks of each other. ``It was a lot to take in, but it also, it made our hearts happy.'' The three women were well-known, well-loved tribal citizens and fell ill in May. Norma Kennedy, 91, died on May 23, followed by her daughters, Diane Kennedy, 71, on May 29 and Cindy Mohr, 65 _ Ludwick's mother _ on June 12. They left what Seneca
Nation President Ricky Armstrong described as an ``unmistakable emptiness'' in the tribe. All three served the community, in their careers and beyond. Norma Kennedy worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs for many years, became one of the first credentialed Native American alcohol counsellors, chartered the Seneca Nation's first social services program in the 1980s and served in tribal government, including as a peacemaker judge in tribal

court. Even at age 91, up until her illness, she taught a language program, referring to her adult students as ``the kids.'' ``She'd go, `The kids made me laugh today,''' her son-in-law Brian Mohr said. ``But most of the `kids' were 55 years old, and she was 91, you know?'' Her daughter Diane Kennedy also worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, travelling across the country to help distribute funds and set up programs for Native communities. ``She did that for almost 30 years until she retired and then returned back to the territory,'' her son Marc Papaj said. ``She became involved in tribal politics, got on a ticket and was elected
tribal clerk. So she served our nation, as well.'' Norma's younger daughter Cindy Mohr was the first Native American teacher in New York state to have dual certification in elementary and special education. She earned her master's degree in education from St. Bonaventure University as a reading specialist. She taught in local schools for 36 years, helping shape the lives of hundreds of children. A school district statement said Mohr loved teaching and was a beloved ``moulder of minds, leaders and our future.'' ``It's impossible to truly quantify the impact they made in their lifetimes, whether serving the Seneca people, working on import-
ant Native American issues or inspiring generations of elementary school students,'' Armstrong said of the three women. Papaj said the family had been taking precautions, but the virus found its way in and ``just came on so quickly.'' As hard as it is to talk about their deaths, the family wants to get the word out about the seriousness of COVID-19. ``It can happen to you,'' Ludwick said. ``We live out in the middle of the woods, and we feel that we were social distancing from people in the territory. We don't know where the virus came from, and it did affect our family.''
M-Z · Monday, September 14 – Students with last names A-L · Tuesday, September 15 – All students moving forward “We’re excited to welcome our students back,” said Board Chair Greg Anderson. “Our staff have worked hard this summer to put plans in place for the new school year. The safety and well-being of students is our highest priority and it will remain top of mind as we move forward together.” The staggered entry for elementary schools will see students attending in-class instruction. During the staggered entry, siblings will be kept together in an effort to help families with childcare needs. Elementary and secondary students in self-contained special education classes will return full-time, every day beginning Thursday, September 10. “The staggered entry allows students to ease into their back-to-school routines, including new health and safety procedures for COVID-19,” said JoAnna Roberto, Director of Education. “It also allows students and staff to get to know each other in smaller groups. We must remember that it’s been more than six months since they’ve been in the school together,
so this is an important step in setting the tone for the year ahead.” Aligning with best practices from across the province, Grand Erie has made a change to its secondary quadmester model. Students will still take two courses per quadmester. However, instead of attending both classes daily, students will take one course per day for a full week. They will then alternate weekly between the two courses. “The goal is to keep students in similar cohorts for an entire week,” said Roberto. “This will assist our pubic health partners with contact tracing, should we be faced with a positive COVID-19 test. It also creates a strong learning environment for students who can focus on one course at a time.” “We want families to know that we’re in this together,” said Anderson. “While this back-to-school will look much different than previous ones, our goal remains the same: a great start to the school year for all of our students. I’m confident that if we all remain calm and focused on our students, we will all get through this.” Next week, Grand Erie will provide more details to families regarding next steps for those who selected online learning for this fall.

TORONTO — A new study suggests it could take more than a year and a half to clear the backlog of surgeries in Ontario hospitals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Modelling research published today in the Canadian Medical Association Journal says the estimated time to clear surgeries postponed due to the pandemic is 84 weeks, with a target of 717 surgeries per week. The provincial government instructed Ontario hospitals to cancel elective
surgeries and other activities deemed not urgent in mid-March to prepare for a possible surge of COVID-19 patients. The study says that between March 15 and June 13, Ontario hospitals accrued a backlog of 148,364 procedures.

Recently Brantford Red Sox Rep 1 Minor Pee outfielder Tyler Point received the ultimate compliment. “Tyler has grown a lot,” Brantford coach Jason Luscombe said. “He is a team player, and always gives one hundred percent. Tyler’s determined to be a better player. He’s a solid fielder and is willing to help anyway he can.” This obviously hasn’t been a normal baseball season for Point as the Red Sox due to the COVID-19 pandemic, are only playing games in August, with no tournaments or playoffs to follow.

Reflecting on what he does well, Point, who has been playing ball since the age of 4 replied, “Catching the ball and running the bases.

Coming off a season which saw the 23-year-old playing forward for the expansion New York Riptide, Powless was excited about getting the opportunity to put on the Thunderbirds colors. “No better feeling to come back and play where I got drafted and where my NLL career started,” Powless said. ‘No better place I’d want to be playing the game I love.” Originally, Powless was a sixth round, 73rd overall pick in the 2018 draft by the Rochester Knighthawks, who last year re-located the team to Halifax and became the Thunderbirds. “I am just happy to be back with my band of brothers,” said Powless. “I can’t wait to help make an impact and win a cup.” After being selected in 2018 by the Knighthawks, Powless spent that upcoming season working on his game as a defenceman on the team’s practice roster. “Growing up, I wanted to be a professional lacrosse player,” Powless said. “I still have to put in the hard work. I am going to do that until training camp starts.” In his second year, Powless inked a deal with the expansion Riptide where

I don’t know exactly our record but we’re doing decent.” When asked about the overall competitiveness of the shortened season Point went on to state, “Our coaches teach us to work as a team. Work together and to be friends.” Coach Luscombe stressed that with the shortened season, it’s more about developing the players. A prime reason for having a shortened season is to, “Re-new the passion, the love they have for baseball. To give them an opportunity to play and have fun.” Judging by the smile and laughter, it’s safe to say that Point along with his teammates are indeed having fun.

In taking a better safe than sorry approach, it was recently announced that due to COVID-19, fall high school sports have been cancelled. As a result of the Grand Erie and Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic boards making the decision, that means such fall high school sports such as girls basketball, boys volleyball, football, golf, tennis and cross-country won’t be played. “I was pretty disappointed because I was going into my last year of high school football and I don’t know if I’m going to ever get to play football ever again,” Lions senior player Ethan Jamieson said.

Families brace for school, work disruptions as cold and flu season nears STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Toronto mom Emma Trousdale would love to send her two kids to school full time. But even if she chooses that option over remote learning, she expects they'll end up spending a considerable amount of time at home. ``Someone's going to get a cold or a cough _ probably not COVID, but you're going to be keeping someone home, like, all the time,'' says Trousdale, whose kids are set to enter grades 1 and 4. ``That's a big reason why I (also) don't want to send them back _ because then at least I know what my day holds. I can make a plan.'' A little over two weeks from her school's start date, various guidance plans are still evolving, leaving Trousdale with many questions about how COVID-19 precautions will disrupt learning for kids, work schedules for adults, and where and how to get tested, if needed. She considers herself lucky to be flexible enough to accommodate last-minute upheaval _ she's self-employed and her husband works from home. But she acknowledges not everyone can drop in and out of work for two weeks
at a time to supervise quarantined kids. Parents need more certainty about what the school year may look like, agrees Dr. Camille Lemieux. She thinks Ontario's testing strategy should be more aggressive to limit the number of kids and staff who may be quarantined, and the length of time they'd spend out of school. Lemieux, who runs the COVID-19 testing centre at Toronto Western Hospital, suggests ``serial testing'' could ease pressures on families unable to take time off work. ``So you don't say to every single child, 'You have to stay home for 14 days.' You make that testing accessible to those families, and you test them not once, but you test them two and three times under relatively rapid succession and then you can be fairly certain that they're negative,'' Lemieux says. It didn't take long for COVID-19 to upset the reopening plans of several Montreal-area schools, which began welcoming students Thursday. Some 500 students at one high school have been told to stay home until Monday after two teachers tested positive. The cases also forced more than 20 teachers to isolate until Sept. 4, and the school is scrambling to find replacements. Sylvain Mallette,

president of a federation of teachers' unions, said Friday the incident underscores the need for quick and easy access to COVID-19 testing. Other cases Thursday included a private high school south of Montreal where an entire class was sent home because a parent tested positive for COVID-19, a move Quebec's top doctor suggested was excessively cautious. Quebec's policies on what schools should do if a parent tests positive were unclear, but in Ontario, children who share a household with a confirmed case must stay home and isolate for 14 days while the public health unit decides on further steps required by the school. However, a parent is not obligated to inform the school of their positive test result. Overall, Ontario's guidelines shy away from requiring tests for suspected cases and their close contacts but they do strongly encourage tests for such individuals and direct them to isolate, contact public health and follow medical advice. The guidelines also encourage retesting if symptoms develop after a negative test. Lemieux wants clarity on whether tests will be available at schools or in communities, fearing families who are only able to test at a COVID assessment centre face another layer of complication and possible delay to containing spread. ``Some people, for various social circumstances, just are not able to go line up in (an assessment centre) or may feel that they are marginalized by going there because there's a lot of stigma still,'' says Lemieux. ``When you're looking at large numbers of kids, it's going to become more challenging, for sure. Most kids don't want to stand in line for a long period of time. Some kids just will outright refuse to be tested because it's frightening to them.'' The province has announced 625 more nurses to monitor school risk. A spokeswoman for the education ministry says it will include mobile teams that can test students at schools and offer more targeted monitoring in
high-risk neighbourhoods. The ministry's office says nurses will also help conduct random testing of asymptomatic secondary students. Although Lemieux was a vocal critic of Ontario's testing capacity early in the pandemic, she doesn't expect increased demand will cause the backlogs seen in the spring. ``Our testing capacity is really quite large and significant right now. The issue is, how do you deliver that testing in a way that is going to be effective in school settings?'' Timely reporting is also a concern. Under Ontario's guidelines, only a confirmed case would trigger a two-week quarantine for the entire cohort. It recommends testing those contacts as soon as possible, but recognizes ``that in many scenarios, a few days will have already passed since exposure.'' Given that test results take anywhere from two to 10 days in Ontario, it's possible secondary cases will emerge before that first case is confirmed, says Christine Nielsen, chief executive officer of the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science. Once a case is confirmed, it's also not clear how soon families would be told, or how. The guidelines only say families are notified ``immediately'' if their cohort is affected. Otherwise, confirmed cases will be reported on the board or school website, putting the onus on parents to stay on top of case counts, Nielsen says. Then there's lab capacity. In Ontario, Nielsen says the province has invested in more equipment to meet the fall demand and a possible second wave and so she doesn't expect wait times to lengthen. Still, she acknowledges that additional tests for returning students, teachers and the broader workforce will increase strain on labs, with many regions also grappling with personnel shortages. In Ontario alone, she says, employers are asking for another 150 medical lab technologists for the fall.
Non-COVID-19 medical testing is also on the rise as procedures delayed in the early days of the pandemic resume, and Nielsen expects more people will seek flu tests to differentiate the type of infection they may have. She notes these flu tests rely on the same public health nurses, lab personnel and similar equipment used for COVID-19 detection, but use different chemicals to process. ``Surgeries are being scheduled again, family physicians are seeing patients again. We're definitely going to feel a crunch with respect to all lab testing,'' says Nielsen, noting the extent of that crunch depends on whether and how many outbreaks occur, their circumstances and the testing strategy. ``I feel like COVID-19 is a priority for all facilities, but there will be decisions that will need to be made, whether that's by hospital administrators or lab directors: What comes first? Is it a cardiac patient or is it a COVID-19 patient?'' Nova Scotia dad Adam Davies says he's uncertain of many of his province's COVID measures, and anticipates poor communication will lead fearful students and families to speculate on infection risk and trade gossip when unexplained absences occur. He'd like more infor-
mation on what happens if bused kids are exposed to COVID-19, and whether his 13-year-old son would be notified even though he doesn't take the bus _ a concern because many of the teen's close contacts take the bus. ``That's a whole level of contact tracing that then has to be followed because that's going well beyond the classroom. You're now kind of getting right through the school, potentially,'' says Davies, whose son is set to begin Grade 8 in the rural community of Pugwash, N.S. Davies also worries about financial strain if forced to take unpaid leaves from work to accommodate quarantines for his son. In that case, he says he can use one week of sick leave and then has some vacation days available. Quick and clear reporting of COVID-19 cases would limit such upheaval, he says, as well as cut down on rumours and fear. ``We don't have that feedback that anyone's actually listening to what parents are saying,'' Davies says. ``Confidence and trust go hand in hand and when there doesn't seem to be enough being done to raise the confidence in the system, then the trust starts to sag and I think that's where you'll get the whisper network.''
