By Isaac White. As we all experienced incredibly low temperatures and what feels like arctic weather locally, thoughts of how to care for our furry family friends during frigid temps are important. Humans frequently think that dogs, cats, and other pets who have furry coats are nearly immune from the icy blasts facing our daily lives. That is not the case. Instead, all pet owners should keep in mind that although your fur baby does have fur, they are not superheated machines that can withstand sub-zero temperatures for extended periods of...

And they say on the third day on an her last chance of guessing the dream, she did guess the correct dream, And I’ve never heard what that dream was, but they say that she did guess the correct one. And so right way all of the villagers got extremely excited that somebody had actually got the answer right. And it had been so many years that they had been wishing that this would happen. So the C...
By Isaac White. While I love to watch movies and television, most of the time when I see a reboot, remake, or spinoff of a show or movie I love from the past, I cringe. Mostly because we’ve seen many, many terrible remakes and reboots of classic tv and cinema. This week I’m reviewing That 90’s Show and… this show falls into the category of…Why? I was born in 1981, I’m now in my 40’s and my childhood took place in the 80’s and ’90s. Something I’ve noticed is that young people, such as my son and his friends, have an almost reverence for the 9...

Friends of the Falls is presenting preliminary design concepts for the area that will be located close to the Upper Lock and Dam at St. Anthony Falls. Following the announcement made in 2016 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers that it intended to stop using the lock, the organization began investigating potential new uses for the facility and the area that surrounds it in 2017.

By Doug George-Kanentiio. To Joanne and me it was always “Jake and Judy” Swamp - a couple who not only lived through historic times but took an active part in defining life at Akwesasne and the Mohawk Nation. They were trusted friends who made the longhouse a place to enjoy the traditional rituals. Joanne was a wolf clan Oneida, but she came to Akwesasne for the ceremonies knowing she would be greeted by Judy and Jake’s “hello there!”. They had a keen interest in our travels which complemented their own expeditions across the planet. They carr...
By Paul Hetzler “My girdle is killing me” was an obnoxious slogan from a TV ad that ran in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the US. The widely-mocked catchphrase was meant to inspire women to rush out and buy a certain brand of non-murderous undergarment. I doubt the ad’s plaintive tone helped boost sales, but hey – I’m no marketing expert. And yet, underclothes can be dangerous. In 2009, the so-called “underwear bomber” stuffed his shorts with explosives and boarded a plane. Luckily, he couldn’t ignite his stuff, and his plot fell flat. In 2...

What did the evil chicken lay? Deviled eggs. I think my wife is putting glue on my antique guns collection. She denies it but I’m sticking to my guns. Not sure if you have noticed, but I love bad puns. That’s just how eye roll. When does a joke become a dad joke? When it becomes apparent....

By Anonymous in Peru What’s happening in Peru should concern the rest of the world, especially Indigenous people in Canada and the US. On December 7th, 2022, Pedro Castillo, the first Indigenous President in Peru’s history, was removed from office in a political coup led by the elite, wealthy corporate interests dominating Peru’s Congress supported by the Canadian and US governments. President Castillo is now jailed, and over 60 people – primarily Indigenous – have been killed by police and military forces as protests shake the country....
