Six Nations Covid vaccine clinic in full swing DONNA DURIC

Six Nations’ Covid-19 vaccine rollout is in full swing after receiving a large shipment of doses last Friday. By the end of the week, about 1,000 Six Nations members are expected to have been vaccinated or received their first dose since a vaccine was first announced in December 2020. While the country faces a Covid-19 vaccine shortage, First Nations communities are receiving priority shipments because of the population’s pre-existing health conditions and vulnerability to Covid complications, said Six Nations Paramedic Supervisor Derek Wharrie, who is overseeing the Covid vaccine clinic at Six Nations. About 200 people came through the doors of the Covid vaccine clinic at Emily C. General Elementary School Tuesday with another 300 expected to receive their shots on Thursday. The clinic serves seven people every eight minutes. “We’re very regimented on our time,” said Wharrie. “Nobody comes in without an appointment for everybody’s safety.” Clients are screened for Covid symptoms at the

entrance to the school and are required to wear a face covering before proceeding to the gym for their shot. A doctor is on site to answer any questions people have about the vaccine and the site is fully equipped with the staff and equipment needed in case of any adverse reactions to the vaccine. So far, there has been one adverse reaction since the vaccine rollout began on Mar. 2, said Wharrie, but the person recovered without complications, he said. “We have the capability of starting treatment here,” he said. Six Nations received a shipment of 6,000 doses

of the Moderna vaccine on Friday, moving Six Nations full steam ahead in its Covid-19 vaccination rollout. “We’re still ramping up,” said Wharrie, adding that a call centre manned by five people will be established this week to book vaccine appointments. Six Nations nurses and paramedics are administering the vaccine at six separated vaccination “pods” inside the gym at Emily C. General. Clients receive two doses of the vaccine, with the second dose delivered 28 days after the first. Immunity starts a few days after first dose and goes up further after sec-

ond dose, said Wharrie. “That second booster shot brings it up. It’s important to get that first vaccine to as many people as we can because there is a significant efficacy around that.” There are about 17,000 people on Six Nations and Wharrie says the Brant County Health Unit has promised enough doses for the whole community. “Essentially we have enough for as many as want it,” said Wharrie. The distribution matrix approved by council last month prioritizing seniors and those with health conditions will no longer be used since there is enough vaccine for the whole pop-

ulation. Up until last weekend , the community only had access to a few doses. “Finally, that mass supply has come through,” said Wharrie. The BCHU is storing the frozen vaccine for Six Nations, he said. Doses are shipped here and stored at Six Nations Public Health, where, once thawed, last 30 days. Once the vial is punctured, the vaccine is good for six hours, said Wharrie. After receiving the shot, staff ovbserve clients for 15 minutes to watch for adverse reactions before they exit the gym and book their second appointment. Physical distancing and other safety measures are observed throughout. “Safety is of utmost importance.” Wharrie said the usual side effects of the vaccine include soreness in the arm and mild cold symptoms. The second round of doses will be administered beginning Mar. 30. Prior to Tuesday, 550 Six Nations people were vaccinated, with 200 expected on Tuesday and 300 expected on Thursday. Wharrie said people are nervous when they first come in for their shot but by the time they’ve gone through the process and waited the 15 minutes, “they’re very relieved. They’re impressed with the process and feel very safe.” PM42686517

SIX NATIONS — Two area men have hit the jackpot with subsequent lottery wins in February. Mervyn Hill, 53, of Six Nations won $1000 a week for life on a scratch ticket with Instant Cash For Life. Hill opted for the lump sum payment of $675,000. Mervyn, a 53-year-old industrial painter, said his original plans to run errands were derailed when he decided to go sledding with his nephews instead. “I did my errands the following day, which is when I purchased this ticket,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I was scratching my ticket and stopped halfway through to play with my nephews in the snow.” When he went back to his ticket later that afternoon, that’s when he realized he won. “I had to sit down – I almost fell in shock. Once it sank in, I was fist pumping the air!” Mervyn said this win makes him feel relieved

and happy. “It’s been tough times during the pandemic and now I can pitch in and help my family. I’ll save some for myself and take care of my siblings, nieces, nephews and most importantly, my mom,” he concluded. The winning ticket was purchased at Hagersville Convenience on Main Street in Hagersville. A second Six Nations man also hit it big in the lottery with a win of $1,134,909.70 in the February 6, 2021 LOTTARIO draw.

The winning ticket was purchased at the CNIB Kiosk in Walmart on Garner Road in Ancaster.

Not many people know that Canada was once a Republic JIM WINDLE

TWO ROW TIMES

By general standards, Canada is still a very young country, not having its own Charter or Rights and Freedoms and Canadian Constitution until 1982 with the Constitution Act. But how many people know that Canada had a Republican Government for a year, under President William Lyon McKenzie. The capital of the Republic was located on a small Island precariously situated just above Canada’s Niagara Falls. The Republic of Canada even had its own flag, rather stark and boring, but a national flag nonthe-less. A blue background with two large white stars on the topside, signifying Upper and Lower Canada, and the word Liberty spelled out in red capital letters on

For almost a year, between Dec. 5, 1837 and 1838, Navy Island, located just upstream from Niagara Falls, was known as the Republic of Canada, complete with its own flag under president William SUBMITTED Lyon MacKenzie.

the bottom half on a white background. Following two failed attempts to overthrow the fledgling Canadian government, McKenzie retreated to Navy Island and set up a government capital with about 1,000 Canadian “rebels” and a number of supporting Americans, and tried to challenge the Family Compact. The Family Compact was the first attempt at governing the huge area known a Canada. It quickly became a system of the rich and powerful,

whereby one without the proper bloodline or social status could never hold an office of power. Most government offices were appointed and not voted for by the people. That did not sit well with McKenzie and many others who, after several attempts to bring issues before the Compact government of British oligarchs, he saw no other way except an armed rebellion could change things. Many settlers who came to Brant County following the American Revolution,

were equally concerned about the high-handedness of the Family Compact and were more than willing to throw in with a new form of government that most closely resembled their own, and that is what McKenzie’s rebellion offered. Mackenzie’s second rebellion was in conjunction with the American, Van Rensselaer, who occupied Navy Island, above Niagara Falls, and fortified it with about 1,000 men from Canada and the States. British Colonel McNabb heard about the plan and with a force twice as big as MacKenzie’s rebels, stopped the transfer of men and equipment to the island, capturing the ship, the Caroline, which was being used for that purpose by MacKenzie and Van Rensselaer, set it on fire and let it over the falls. Rebels told the press at the time, the British sent the fiery Caroline over the

falls with wounded and dead rebels still on board. Several of the rebels were residents of Scotland, Ontario, and the regions around Brant County and Norfolk. Following the failure of the rebellion, McNabb showed his diplomatic savvy by dismissing many of those caught, on their own undertaking to keep quiet and stay out of trouble. He could just as easily tried them for treason. Following a third attempt, a reign of terror prevailed in Toronto, according to Toronto Newspapers. Five hundred insurgents were crowding the prisons. Two leaders, Lount and Mathews, died on the scaffold at Toronto, “meeting their fate calmly.” After a few more feeble attempts to over-through the powerful British-backed Family Compact, two things became obvious. The first was that MacKenzie could not win his rebellion, and secondly

that the Family Compact had to be abolished. Things settled down in the coming years until William Lyon Mackenzie finally succeeded in changing the way Canada does its politics with each other. But it is worthy of mention that MacKenzie’s disdain for the independence of the Six Nations and other Indigenous people remained throughout his life and career. It was only strengthened by his vicious handling of the North West Rebellion of Louis Riel. Time seems to have obscured the meaning of the word and the act of a “Rebel”. Was MacKenzie a Rebel or a Patriot? Was Riel a Patriot or a Rebel? Next Canada Day, when most Canadians celebrate Canada Day and the life of her first Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie, don’t forget he was certainly one of Canada’s most famous leaders and racists.

ONTARIO — Kelly Babstock, 28, comes from a hockey family. She and all 5 of her siblings played. By the time she was 16, Kelly was playing AA Hockey in Toronto. When her father was severely injured in a car accident, he and Kelly's Mom didn't know how they would afford to keep the kids playing. The family applied to Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation and received the funding that has allowed futures youth in over 40 Aboriginal communities across Ontario since 2004 to pursue their passion for sports. This was a major turning point for Kelly. Since, Kelly's hockey career has been on a steady upward climb, with numerous awards and honours along the way. During the 2009-10 season, she helped the Toronto Jr. Aeros of the PWHL win the gold medal and League Cup. She accumulated 25 goals and 35 assists during the regular

named Aboriginal Role Mod-el of the Year in 2011. She played collegiate ice hockey with the Quin-nipiac Bobcats and remains the top point scorer in the program's history. In the NWHL, Kelly played with the Connecticut Whale from 20152018 and in the Whale's inaugural game on October 15, 2015, she became the first Canadian-born player to score a goal in a NWHL regular season game. Kelly was named to the Little Native Hockey League Hall of Fame in 2016. In early 2020, Ms. Babstock returned home, joining Toronto's new NWHL team, the first Canadian city to have a club in the American National

Women's Hockey League. Kelly currently plays with the Metro-politan Riveters (NWHL). In addition, her last year of NCAA, she also played for the Women's Senior Lacrosse team and she was a finalist for the "Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award" as the nation’s best college player. Kelly Babstock's career has been a phenomenal success and the sup-port of the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation has played a big part. Kelly's mother Donna Babstock is Ojibwe, from the Wiikwemkoong Un-ceded Territory, expressed her appreciation for the foundations support. "Without the help of Dreamcatcher, this would probably not be able to happen. What a good role model Kelly is for the aboriginal community." says Donna Babstock. "I don't think we would've been able to manage Kelly's hockey endeavors without your help, we know that the Dream-catcher has given our family great support in Kelly's hockey career as well as our other children's over the past few years, we couldn't have done it without your help at the Dreamcatcher. We will thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our family is deeply indebted and truly appreciates what you have done for us now and forever.” The Ojibwe forward excels wherever she plays and has proven to be a threat to opposition whenever she hits the ice.

The Six Nations community has recently lost knowledge carriers, among them avid lacrosse fan, Arthur Johnson. “Art,” peacefully passed away at Brantford General Hospital on Monday, March 8, 2021 at the age of 73 years. In his time, he connected with the Six Nations community as a knowledge carrier, singer, Cayuga language speaker, drum and rattle maker, and worked with the Six Nations Polytechnic, was a craftsman at the Red Barn Camp, and a traditional facilitator for the traditional community.

He could often be found at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena in “his spot” in the bleachers at the corner adjacent to the entrance, seated amongst his family and young ones, attending games to support his grandsons, nephews and more that have grown to excel at lacrosse. “We lost a great fan of the kids. He was always at the ILA or GPA to watch lacrosse, rather its kids teens or mens or women, he was there. Art Johnson sure will be missed, condolences to the Johnson family,” wrote the Six Nations Minor Lacrosse League to its Facebook group. We offer sincere condolences to his family and friends.

TWO ROW TIMES

MISSISSAUGA — Last weekend, Indigenous Sport and Wellness Ontario (ISWO) provided Indigenous participants across Ontario the opportunity to take part in an NHL21 tournament to compete for three cash prizes. This is the programming that followed a Well Nation Boot Camp Facebook Group shortly after the new year, and preludes the 2021 Well Nation Virtual Games that will take place from March 15-25. President Marc Laliberte said that changing their programming to accommodate virtuality was a step in the right direction. “When the pandemic hit, it became apparent that our usual methods of promoting sport and activity wouldn't work,” said Laliberte.

in following pandemic restrictions, Indigenous Sports and Wellness Ontario events have been held virtually for indigneous parSUBMITTED ticipants across the province.

“Camps, tryouts and events had to be put on hold. The NAIG and the NAHC have been postponed at the national and international level. Our ONBI and ONVI, the basketball and volleyball championships we host, have similarly been delayed indefinitely. The act of meeting and competing in person had become too risky. ISWO's resources had to be re-directed to deliver safe

alternatives,” he said. The ISWO was formerly considered the Aboriginal Sport and Wellness Council of Ontario and is the designated and officially recognized Provincial/Territorial Indigenous Sport Body for the province, and as Laliberte explained, the organization has been navigating “without a road map.” This navigation led to the Virtual Games, while the ISWO worked to pro-

vide Covid relief efforts and delivery of sport gear and programming. There are three age categories for the games between ages 1-12, 13-19, and 20 plus. To compete, the participants are expected to choose the activities they’re interested in, and upload a video or picture of them completing the activity to earn points; there are also a number of bonus challenges to earn additional points. For those with a competitive streak, leaderboards will showcase who’s in the lead for each age category overall. All participants are set to receive a free prize pack mailed to their door, which includes a Games branded t-shirt, a Team Ontario pin and a hacky sack. Participants will have until a minute before midnight on March 25, to complete their activities and submit their pictures and videos for points.

The ISWO will be hosting a Closing Ceremony live on Facebook on Friday, March 26, at noon (EST), to commemorate the event and announce the winners in each age category. Five winners will be selected from each age category to win a traditional Indigenous games set, valued at $60 and a $50 Amazon gift card and the six grand prize winners, who will each walk away with a $500 Canadian Tire gift card. “ISWO has been part of the province's roundtable discussion on sport during the pandemic,” said Laliberte. “We have witnessed that amateur sport has ground to a halt and with it, the access to healthy activities that are so important to our people. Having no team sports, practices, leagues, games, tournaments and championships have had a negative impact on our physical and mental health.

Our athletes, their families and communities rely on these important social interactions. They help us in the path towards better health and wellness. These games are part of the process of recovery and a return to normalcy,” he said. He said that registration for the Virtual Games have been promising and feedback has shown that participants are looking forward to the fun competition. With more than 900 participants in ISWO’s Well Nation January Boot Camp program, the organization is expecting a large number of participants to take part in the 2021 Well Nation Virtual Games. “In time, we look forward to a return to being together for the sports that encourage and unite us,” he said. The ISWO has more virtual programming in the works for the near future.

OLA’s new box lacrosse plan gives hope for a return this season

STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

ONTARIO — The Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA) recently publicized new game formats to accommodate the ongoing pandemic, with chang-es listed under the Return to Activity Plan (RTAP). By this time each year, lacrosse arenas across the province are usually hosting try-outs for teams, but this year, the RTAP guide will shape a new return to arenas. Box lacrosse games are set to not exceed 46 minutes total and consist of two equal halves with a half time break and no change of ends, while contact between players remains prohibited by the Emergency Order of Ontario. The RTAP reflects that box lacrosse will become a stick check game only due to the Covid restrictions. Ontario Women’s Box Lacrosse League Commissioner Sue Finnen said that the new restrictions, especially those towards negating body con-tact,

are a positive signal for players eager to return to playing. But for those that can’t do without, Finnen said that it will be understandable if sign ups are lower than previous years. “I think there will always be some players that love the contact of the box game,” said Finnen. “And that’s what draws them to the box game. So to have that element removed, yes, I do think we will have some players who elect not to play.” “I know that we have number of players that really enjoy the stick-check game. We have clubs that have house leagues the are stick check, so I think there will be a number [of players] that will look at it and just want to get their stick back in their hands,” she said, adding that it is her hope that many do elect to come back. Finnen explained that although the game format has changed to stickcheck, being able to play with more control can develop different skills that aren’t exercised with full-contact games for players. This game format puts an emphasis on

intercepting passes and careful control of checking and body placement. She explained that the safe return to playing will be impacted by the spe-cific local health units closest to the teams looking to play. “Ultimately, we would love to get to a point where we can all be together for some kind of a provincial [tournament], which may or may not hap-pen, but we can

always hope,” she said. As she noted that she is very hopeful of the return of players, she recog-nized that many of the women in the league are frontline workers includ-ing paramedics, firefighters and teachers. “We are listening to our players, and our [OWBLL] players were the first ones to tell us in 2020 that they didn’t feel safe. We were one of the last leagues to cancel in the 2020 season

because we were listening to our players. Ultimately, our players will guide what we do this year. That’s the only reason we’re here, is for them.” The full RTAP was developed to help Lacrosse Organizations of all fac-tions, not just box lacrosse, in their moves to return to the sport. "As regions across Ontario begin to reintroduce sports, this guide builds upon the general require-

ments to create a safe environment to protect our sanctioned members at all levels and disciplines,” wrote Ontario La-crosse Association President Marion Ladoucer. Ladoucer included that all involved in lacrosse organizations, from players to administrators, will play a critical role in ensuring that the game continues to combat the transmission of Covid-19. “It is imperative that the resumption of lacrosse activities must not com-promise the health of individuals participating or the communities in which we operate. These uncertain times have necessitated specific measures to allow us to return to the sport we love, and it is important that they are followed for the benefit of everyone. The Ontario Lacrosse Association has worked diligently with its members and experts to pre-pare our participants in the safest possible manner,” wrote Ladoucer. The full RTAP is available online in a PDF viewing format on the OLA’s website.

OBITUARY - BERNICE CARRIE MT. PLEASANT

NOTICE TO CREDITORS HEIRS & OTHER CLAIMANTS

Bernice Carrie Mt. Pleasant, in her 73rd year, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones on the 9th of March at the St. Joseph’s Lifecare Centre in Brantford, following a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s. Bernice was born in Ohsweken, Ontario and her parents were John and Eileen (Winnie) Lickers. She was a graduate of Cayuga Secondary School and later she graduated grade 13 at Banting Highschool in Allison. She eventually achieved a Business Diploma from Georgian College in Barrie. She married her husband Rick Mt. Pleasant in Ohsweken on New Year’s Eve 1966. Rick was a member of the Canadian Forces for over 43 years and he and Bernice had the pleasure of living and serving in several places throughout Canada and in Germany. During her life she worked at several administrative positions both for the military and non-military organizations, at one time she was employed as a civilian Senior Operations Officer with Canadian Forces Headquarters Europe. She retired from her working career from the Children’s Aide Society in Halton. She had a wonderful sense of humour, she was a dancer and participated in a few shows, she also loved community theater where in most plays she was the stage manager, her sense of humour came into play several times during the plays as she would add unexpected special effects and change pretend drinks to real drinks.

Bernice and Rick had two Children, Kirk, and Tyler. Tyler is still single, but Kirk and his wife Diana (Romano) have two lovely children Jackson and Gracen. Bernice was from a family where she had six sisters. In addition to Rick, Tyler, Diana, Jackson and Gracen her passing is mourned by her sisters, Norma Marquis and Doug, June Millinetti, Patricia Cleghorn (Chris) and Linda Khan. Bernice was predeceased by her son Kirk, her sister Lois Lickers and her sister Irma De Paulo. She will also be missed by her Godmother Betty Johnson as well as countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Bernice will be cremated, and a special Indigenous Traditional Feast will be held in her honour on the 19th of March. Following the feast her spirit will be released to start her journey to be with her Creator. A celebration of her life will be held at some point after the Covid Pandemic has been defeated. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the Canadian Alzheimer’s Society or St. Joseph’s Lifecare Center. A very special thanks to all the staff at St. Joes for your care and compassion. If you think there’s nothing else to do, If you think no-ones here for you. Turn your head and look at me, Because by your side I will always be
