Covid-19 Outbreak at Iroquois Lodge

By Donna Duric

Over 20 people have been infected with Covid-19 after an outbreak was declared at Iroquois Lodge LongTerm Care facility last week.

Among the infected are 16 residents and seven staff members.

On Sept. 28, two resi dents of Iroquois Lodge tested positive for Covid-19 via rapid test. Those individuals were immedi ately placed in isolation and were administered PCR tests to be sent to a lab for further confirmation of a positive result.

Since then, the to tal number of positive Covid-19 cases at Iroquois Lodge has risen to 16 cases among residents and seven cases among staff.

In accordance with protocol, Ohsweken Public Health declared a Covid-19 outbreak at Iroquois Lodge and directed staff to isolate any positive cases and those who were in close contact with those individ uals.

Only two designated caregivers per resident are permitted to visit at this time, and there will be no general visitors during the

outbreak.

Additionally, one PSW team will be assigned to isolation rooms and will be separated from other staff and facilities to limit any further potential spread of the virus.

Residents’ family mem bers have been notified and are receiving regular updates on the situation by lodge staff.

It’s the second outbreak to hit the long-term care facility since the pandem ic began. An outbreak in January and February led to three Covid-related deaths at Iroquois Lodge.

The price of silence: what happened to Amber Ellis?

Police are now saying they will reward $50,000 for information that could solve the case of Amber Ellis’ disappearance.

Amber was last seen on Six Nations of the Grand River. Police told TRT just after her disappearance that her last known loca tion was at a trailer east of Cayuga Road on Sixth Line.

Another officer told reporters they’d received reports from individuals from Six Nations claiming she suddenly packed a bag and quickly left on a road trip to BC.

Her mother disclosed in an online forum that she believes Amber has been the victim of foul play.

Now, police say they also believe foul play is involved and they are hop ing the large cash reward, provided by the province of Ontario, will be enough to get someone out there to come forward with information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Amber’s disappearance.

How is it that a person in our relatively small community can vanish without a trace — with no calls to her family, her children, and no updates to social media?

Perhaps the bigger question is that, in a community where “word travels fast” and where gossip is usually the ruling headline over and above what actual information gets shared by official sources — how is there not enough informa tion coming forward to proceed further in the investigation to solve her disappearance?

Is this a matter of mem bers of the community not coming forward with in

formation that could lead to an arrest or is this a failure of law enforcement to take action in the case of a missing woman on a First Nations reserve?

Over the last two decades, our community has been traumatized over and over with grizzly accounts of the most unspeakable things hap pening — to women, men, children, and the unborn.

It is unsettling to know that we are yet again in a situation where someone knows something — and perhaps they are unwill ing to talk so they can protect someone else or perhaps they are afraid to come forward with what they know.

In the disappearance cases and homicide inves tigations that have taken place over the last five years on Six Nations the common denominator al ways seems to be silence.

And tragically, shame fully — it has been silence on the part of friends or family who have been pro tecting perpetrators.

This is a dangerous pattern, evident in other unrelated cases as well when dealing with issues of family violence, sexual abuse and other violent crimes. People are unwill ing to, or afraid to come forward.

Now, with this reward, the stakes have been raised. And hopefully, a

cash reward this large is enough to get people who have details that could help solve this case to come forward.

There is great power and freedom in telling the truth.

Carrying secrets will slowly eat away at the mind of a person and eventually, can fracture your sense of self.

A Columbia universi ty study found that the average a person can keep about 13 secrets at a time — 5 of those being things they have never told anyone.

However keeping traumatic secrets can result in excessive stress, guilt and can manifest

in physical symptoms such as anxiety, digestive problems, problems with memory, headaches and if kept for a long time can result in more serious physical illnesses like PTSD, hormone disruption and stress-related physi cal disorders like auto-im mune disease and cancer.

For now — the Six Nations community, police and most importantly Amber’s family await in formation that could lead to bringing Amber home and bringing closure to a tragic mystery they have carried for too long already.

Amber is described as 5’9” tall, weighing 120 lbs and has a thin build with

long dark hair and brown eyes.She has a visible horizontal scar between her eyebrows and a visible tattoo of a Chinese char acter on the nape of her neck.

Police have launched a tip line specifically for information on the disap pearance of Amber Ellis. The government of On tario is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for her disap pearance. If anyone has any information please call the Amber Ellis tip line at 1-866-549-2090, the OPP at 1-888-3101122 or Crimestoppers at 1-866-222-8477.

Media

Will the announcement of a $50,000 cash reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the disappearance of Amber Ellis make a difference? Police and her family have been appealing to the public since February 2021 for tips to bring Amber home. Police now suspect foul play is involved and are asking anyone with information to call the Amber Ellis tip line at 1-866-549-2090.

Venus fly trap

With each holiday comes its own catalogue of seasonally-appropriate houseplants for home owners to fill their rooms with. With Christmas comes mistletoe and poinsettias. Easter brings peace lilies. And some people get roses on Valen tine’s Day. When it comes to Halloween, I’ve scoured the Internet for some of the spookiest houseplants you can find. Some are better left outside the home, like the corpse flower. Read on to find out why.

Bat flower

The Tacca chantrieri is an orchid also known as the bat flower. This flower has a unique visual look, mimicking the appearance of a bat in flight with its

deep purple and brown blossoms and long-hang ing whiskers.

Corpse flower

The website livescience. com says the corpse flow er is the largest and smell iest flowering structure in the world. The corpse flower, also known as titan arum, reeks of rotting flesh and death when in bloom. Lucky for us, this

stinky plant blooms once every seven to nine years and each bloom only lasts 24 to 36 hours.

The unpredictable blooming spectacle makes this enigmatic flower a popular visitor attraction at botanic gardens world wide. The putrid-smell ing plant has intrigued botanists since it was first scientifically described by

Italian botanist Odoardo Beccari in 1878.

Colocasia Black Magic

The plant most likely to fit Morticia Addam’s aes thetic (which who knows, could be yours too) is the colocasia black magic, also known as black elephant ears. This perennial grows large arrow-shaped leaves that slightly resemble, you guessed it, elephant ears. gardenbeast.com says the leaves emerge as light green but they turn into a deep purple, almost black shade as they mature. In the wild, this plant can reach a maximum height of 2.5 metres and a maxi mum spread of 1.5 metres.

Purple oxalis

If you’re after something low-maintenance but still Halloween-ey, consider purple oxalis. This is a very low-maintenance pe rennial and grows well in direct sun, but it can also make do with partial sun. It prefers well-drained soil with an acidic pH. If cared for right, it can bloom from spring until winter.

Ghost plant

I don’t think this plant could have not made the list based on its name alone. This plant has no chlorophyll (the chemical enabling plants to absorb energy from the sun, which gives most plants their green colour). So a ghost plant is technical ly a parasite that feeds on trees and just looks spooky.

Devil’s helmet

With myriad nicknames, including wolf’s bane, Queen of All Poisons, blue rocket, and women’s bane,

devil’s helmet manages to live up to its namesake. The plant has poison that can be absorbed through

Just like the ghost plant, the Venus fly trap had to make an appearance on this list of spooky plants. As cliche as it may seem, this is the ultimate spooky plant. gardenbeast.com says this plant is way less dangerous than the media makes it out to be and wouldn’t try to digest a human. Its leaves are hinged with bristles that sense prey which causes the trap to close and en courages the plant to re lease enzymes that digest the prey. Rarely anything larger than a housefly, or spider though.

How to keep pets from causing home fires

Both cats and dogs can get excited around sudden loud noises, visitors and potential fire hazards in the home. Excited pets can pose a safety hazard in homes where open flames are commonplace. The National Fire Protection Association estimates that around 1,000 home fires each year are started by pets.

Here are some strate gies pet owners can im plement recommended by the American Kennel Club and ADT Security Services to reduce the risk of fire in their homes caused by pets.

Be especially careful around and mindful of open flames. Pets can easily tip over candles and gain access to fireplaces when open flames are burning. Extinguish such flames whenever leaving

a room, or ask some one to come in and look after pets so they are not left unattended around flames. Even candles on fireplace mantels pose a hazard as curious cats can leap onto mantelpieces and tip over the candles.

Cover stove knobs. Stove knobs are another potential fire hazard in homes with curious pets. Knob covers prevent pets from accidentally turning on burners when no one is looking. Pet owners who let their pets roam free

around the house while they’re at work or out running errands should cover stove knobs before leaving their homes.

Purchase flameless candles. Flameless candles are a great option for pet owners whose pets are

energetic or especially curious. Flameless candles are battery-powered and provide ambient light without an open flame.

Consider crating pets or limiting access to certain areas if animals are not yet house-trained. Puppies

and kittens are especially curious and eager to ex plore their new surround ings. That makes it easy for them to find trouble even in areas where pet owners think there isn’t any. Confine pets to crates during times of day when you plan to light candles or the fireplace or install gates to keep them out of rooms where they can access open flames.

Exercise caution when using a grill or firepit. Charcoal grills and firepits are not indoors, but they can still pose a fire hazard outside. If necessary, keep pets indoors when grilling or sitting around the fire pit. If you want them to be outdoors at these times, prevent them from access ing areas where the grill and firepit are located.

Pets tend to be curious and that curiosity can be dangerous around open flames. Some simple tips can reduce the risk of home fires caused by pets.

Things to consider before lighting up your fireplace this winter

A warm fire can make even the coldest winter day more enjoyable. Fireplac es may not get much use in spring or summer, but come late fall and through out the winter, gathering around the fire is a great idea.

Before fireplace season hits full swing, homeown

ers might want to brush up on a few fireplace facts so they can safely enjoy nights spent sitting by the crackling flames. The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) advises homeowners with fireplaces to hire a certified chimney sweep to clean their fireplaces. After a lengthy period of nonuse, various issues could be affecting the chimney, many of which might not be noticeable to an un

trained eye. Professional, certified chimney sweeps have extensive knowledge of fireplaces, making them valuable resources who can let homeowners know if any safety issues developed since fireplaces were last used. The National Protec tion Agency recommends that chimneys be swept at least once per year.

A full inspection of the chimney might be in order as well. Chimney service technicians will conduct thorough examinations of readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior and interior and accessible por tions of the appliance and the chimney connection. The CSIA recommends that

homeowners who plan to use their chimneys as they have in the past request a Level 1 inspection, which will examine the soundness of the chimney structure and flue as well as the basic appliance installation and connections. Technicians also will verify if the chim ney is free of obstruction and combustible deposits.

Homeowners also should inspect their chim ney dampers before light ing their first fires of the season. Dampers should open and close smoothly. If not, a service technician can help fix or replace the damper.

Firewood is another thing homeowners must

consider before lighting their first fires of the season. The CSIA says that well-seasoned firewood works best, noting that wood that is not well-sea soned will produce more smoke than heat. In addi tion, the home improve ment resource “This Old House” recommends using dense wood that’s been split and stored in a high and dry place for at least six months.

Oak is an example of dense wood that, when stored properly, can make for an enjoyable fireplace experience. Avoid soft woods like pine. Pine can produce a lot of creosote, which is a byproduct of

wood combustion. Creosote is highly flammable, and as it builds up in a chimney, the risk of a chimney fire increases.

Choosing the right wood, making sure it’s well-sea soned and having a chim ney professionally cleaned can reduce the risk of a creosote-related chimney fire. A Level 1 inspection should determine if there are potentially dangerous levels of creosote deposits in the chimney.

Before nestling up to a fireplace this winter, home owners should consider a host of factors and safety measures to ensure their fireplaces are safe and ready for the season ahead.

Patty Hajdu 'open' to fire codes

OTTAWA — Federal Indig enous Services Minister

Patty Hajdu says she re mains ``open'' to legislating fire and building codes on First Nations, even though Ottawa has no plans to do so now.

Fires have long posed a threat to people living on-reserve, with inade quate housing and a lack of smoke detectors increasing the risk.

Experts and federal officials say there is no way to enforce building or fire code standards on First Nations.

Communities can pass their own bylaws, but groups like the Aboriginal Firefighters Association of Canada and Canadian Asso ciation of Fire Chiefs have long pushed for legislation that would make them mandatory.

Hajdu's office has previously said that after consulting with Indigenous leadership, her department decided that bringing in a new law ``would not be the best approach at this time.''

On Thursday, she said she remains open to the idea but there must be

``sustained funding'' and capacity in communities.

Asked whether she would seek the necessary funding to implement such a change, Hajdu provided a general answer that, as minister, she will keep advocating for the money to close the socio-economic gaps on First Nations by 2030.

``What I have learned in the last year as the minister of Indigenous services is that legislation alone will never fix a problem on First Nations.''

The National Indigenous Fire Safety Council Proj ect has pointed to a 2021 Statistics Canada study that it commissioned, which found Indigenous people living on-reserve were 10 times more likely to die in a fire.

Len Garis, the council's research director, said it's absolutely clear the situa tion calls for some form of regulation or legislation.

``The 'how' is a different story,'' he said Thursday.

``(That) is going to be incredibly important because Indigenous people will want to have influence

over how and what's being brought in place.''

Michael Wernick, former clerk of the Privy Council who left in 2019, said the government's decision not to pursue legislation demonstrates ``an appalling abdication of leadership.''

``There will be prevent able deaths over the next few years because of the failure to act in this area.''

He says for years, Cana da has treated house fires on reserves as a ``thoughts and prayers issue'' and he sees the current govern ment's argument around the need for funding first as backwards.

``Funding without the legislation is going to be very leaky,'' said Wernick, who also served as depu ty minister in the former department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Devel opment.

``You don't have the code to provide the discipline of, 'What am I supposed to build to? What am I supposed to inspect to? And what am I supposed to train to,' which exists in every other community in Canada.''

Six Nations Minor hockey is backElsipogtog finishes new rink

ELSIPOGTOG FIRST NATION — On October 7, two years after a fire ruined the previous rink, resi dents of Elsipogtog First Nation finally get a first look at their new one. The new rink isn't 100 per cent complete as there are still some issues with the ice-making system's piping, which could mean the ice won't be in place until the new year. But the previous rink suffered major damage after the fire in September of 2020, and community members campaigned to become Kraft Hockeyville 2021. When they won, they received $250,000 in rink upgrades and $100,000 in youth hockey equipment. They also won the right to host an NHL game with the Montreal Canadiens taking on the Ottawa Senators in a preseason game last Saturday in nearby Bouctouche. It still sits as a huge moment for the community and one its people have been waiting for since the Hockeyville announcement.

The three teams competed in a double round-robin with six total games across the three days before the top two teams face off in a final for the event on Sunday, October 9th at 12 p.m. Eastern.

Canada did come to defeat the Haudenosaunee 17-4 in the gold medal game to win the inaugural World Lacrosse Super Six es competition in Oshawa. But the historic win of Game 5 made waves.

Canada finished first in the four-game group stage against the Haudenos aunee and England with a 3-1 record. The Haudeno saunee finished 2-2 with wins over both teams and came out on top of a tight 12-11 contest against England on the final day of the competition, effective ly earning its spot in the gold medal match.

brand of the sport. Sixteen men’s and women’s teams competed in Sixes at The World Games, an interna tional multi-sport event, this past summer, with Canada sweeping the gold medal in the men’s and women’s competitions.

This year’s competi tion is the inaugural Sixes tournament to be hosted by Canada Lacrosse an

With Thanks wife Jean (Leslie Sr.)

Its been two long years without you and that’s been two years too many.

Life is not the same without you Vernon Blaine. We miss you so Very much!

They say that there is a reason, and that time will heal.

But neither time nor reason, will change the way we feel.

We thought of you today, But that was nothing new.

We thought of you yesterday, and the days before that too.

We think of you in silence, and often speak your name.

Life without you my son, Will never be the same.

Of all the precious gifts in life

However great or small, To have you in our lives was the greatest gift of all.

It’s said that time’s a healer, But I’m not sure that this is true.

Cuz there’s not a day that goes by my son, That I don’t cry for you.

Miss you with every beat of our broken hearts, Then now and always.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

It may be tempting to throw your weight around and assert power in a situation, Aries. But this may backfire in the long run. Try to be a team player.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, someone close to you may be driving you crazy, and you’re tempted to let them know. However, go with the flow instead and enjoy this calmer approach.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, an important decision must be made in the days ahead. Take a calm approach and do your best to keep your emotions out of this discussion.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

Once you involve others in a situation, it can be difficult to dial back their involvement, Cancer. Consider whether you should ask for input or go it alone this week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, rather than shouting from the rooftops how much you love a person, it may be better to take a more subtle approach. Reel in your excitement for the time being.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Keeping secrets is not the way to go, Virgo, especially when they are kept from someone close to you. Why all the smoke and mirrors? Be open and honest with yourself and others.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

A financial situation may be worked out this week or even inflamed, Libra. The only way to stay ahead is to keep careful track of your expenditures.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Be honest with yourself about your needs, Scorpio. If you don’t feel like socializing in a loud and public manner, organize a group to come over for some more quiet R&R.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Getting involved with chores and other tasks can occupy your mind with some busy work, Sagittarius. After a brief mental break, you can return to more serious tasks.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Finances may get a boost this week as a new income stream falls into your lap, Capricorn. Investigate it fully before getting deeply involved.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Opening up about your personal life may relieve some pressure and stress that you have been feeling, Aquarius. Find someone who doesn’t have a close stake.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Don’t spread the word about a big idea until you are sure about it and ready to move, Pisces. Don’t let others steal your thunder.
