Continued from last week So again, as they say, “as the time went on”, this young woman, she had a dream. And they say, in this dream, she was approached by a handsome young man. And he said that he was the spirit of the west wind. And he was also the bringer of the water. And, they say, how he had found out about his young woman was that the spirit of the west wind - this young man, the spirit of the west wind – traveled, and knew very well this young girls father, who traveled all over the globe of water, throwing fire sticks at the serpe...
By Fabiola Cineas. TARANAKI, New Zealand — About 500 people sat gathered under a large white tent in late October, partly to shield themselves from intermittent rainfall, but mostly to focus their attention on the man speaking at the lectern amid the downpour. The crowd, mainly made up of members of Ngāti Maru - one of the nearly 150 Māori iwi (Indigenous tribes) that have lived across New Zealand for centuries — hung on the speaker’s every word, their eyes fixed on the stage. It was a message they had been waiting to receive for generat...

In November of 2022, Indian Time ran a story, “Indigenous Women’s Group Call for Revocation of Turpel-Lafond’s Honorary Degrees.” The Indigenous Women’s Collective (IWC) in Canada requested certain universities revoke honorary degrees granted to high-profile academic and former judge Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond.

SCUGOG – The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation (MSIFN) are outraged by the disrespect shown to their First Nation by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and Great Canadian Entertainment (GCE). As MSIFN prepares to mediate in the coming months its disputes with the government over the government’s expansion of gaming in the GTA, OLG and GCE have instead announced another expansion of GTA gaming when their mega-casino at Woodbine opens in Toronto this summer. GCE is the operator of many Ontario government casinos, inc...
By Andy Gardner. CANTON – The case of a Massena man accused of murdering a SUNY Potsdam student last year has had two major shakeups. First, the presiding judge recused himself from the case after the prosecution and defense attorneys questioned his impartiality in the matter. Several weeks later, the new judge ruled the 32-year-old defendant can represent himself at trial. Michael J. Snow is charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 18, 2022, shooting death of 21-year-old SUNY Potsdam student Elizabeth M. Howell. He had been represented b...
By Isaac White. Back to the movies this week. At least that’s the entertainment medium I’ve chosen to dive into this week. In all candidness I had a hard time finding something to review this week because I picked a couple of stinkers initially. When I knew they weren’t going to work, because I couldn’t stand to watch them for more than 10 minutes, I began to panic a bit. What would you all do if there was no review written by me this week? I’m sure you’d be fine, but I’ll keep my illusion that people are waiting with bated breath every...
By Jackson Chiappinelli. Earth Justice. ANCHORAGE, AK – The Biden administration today announced its approval of ConocoPhillips’s Willow project, ignoring pleas from millions who called for the Alaska oil-drilling plan to be halted due to concerns about climate change. The Interior Department released a record of decision (ROD) that largely reflects ConocoPhillips’s desired project blueprint and ignores its dire climate and biodiversity impacts. Approval of the Willow project stands in stark contrast to President Biden’s climate goals and com...

You’ve heard of a master gardener? How about master backyarding? Backyarding, the art of living, working and enjoying our yards, parks and community green spaces, became a way of life in the last few years. Now that life is turning to somewhat “normal,” the TurfMutt Foundation, which advocates for the care for and use of managed landscapes, has found people are finding ways to continue the backyarding trend by taking it to a new level. Enter Master Backyarding. “Backyarding has become part of our daily lives,” says Kris Kiser, President...

With spring just around the corner, the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA)’s is reminding property owners in its watershed jurisdiction in Cornwall and the surrounding area of SDG to prepare for the upcoming spring thaw. “Checking eavestroughs for blockages, and making sure downspouts extend away from homes and buildings can help prevent basement flooding,” says RRCA Resource Specialist, Halya Petzold. “Removing items from sheds, garages, basements, or lower floors that could be subject to flooding, and making sure your sump pump is...
