Electrical Madness Did you miss me? I’m back with some stories of one of the great institutions here in Akwesasne: The Hogansburg-Akwesasne Volunteer Fire Department. The rules are the same, no names mentioned and all parties are innocent until proven hilarious. Ten years ago this week we were neck deep in fire calls due to a freak ice storm that lasted for five days. Our previous record for the number of calls in one month was 33. On January 5, 1998 we answered 35 alarms in a 24 hour period. The following day would have been another record b...
Ethan Seymour (formerly Tarbell) paid a quick, whirlwind visit to Indian Time on Tuesday all the way from Raquette. During his time here, Ethan forced the Time Keepers to re-do some work when he turned off a power bar switch connected to our computers. Thinking he was in trouble, he refused to come back in to have his photo taken. We settled with a shot on the stairway while he clung to his mother’s leg. You can visit us again Ethan, you’re not in trouble!...

The term “rotten ice” is an U.S. Coast Guard classification used to describe, usually in late winter, old melting ice. It is also called weak or soft ice. This year with the warm days we have had, there will be many places on the river where there may be rotten ice. When ice begins to thaw, the ice may be solid on the surface while unfrozen water may be channeling the underside. Rotten ice is white, brittle, and mixed with snow or filled with air bubbles. This ice is very dangerous and can break under lightweights. Even the weight of one pe...
A powerful and damaging windstorm trampled through Akwesasne all day Wednesday causing cancellations, delays, numerous power outages in all districts of Akwesasne, and the need for emergency repair to many homes as their roofs began to blow away.

Reports indicate that there were individuals inside the nearly completed warehouse when it collapsed, but everyone was lucky to escape unharmed. Further chaos was caused by record...
