The Akwesasne Economic Development Agency (AEDA) partnered with the Akwesasne Area Management Board (AAMB) to develop a Pre-Employment Assistance Program back in March of 2007. The goal of the project was to give additional training and job placements to job seekers who needed a little boost to land that job they’ve been searching for. Dan Garrow of AAMB and Adrian McDonald of AEDA worked together to come up with a plan to make this idea a reality. A new curriculum was developed based on the s...

Vampires seem to be a very popular subject this year with writers. This week I’ve read yet another book about vampires and giving another rendition of them entirely. This one is from the view of a school for vampires. The way to become a vampire differs in this book from the usual catch ‘em and bite ‘em on the neck approach. In this story; a tracker finds you and marks you, thus starting the change from human to vampire. Once you’ve been marked, you get sent to a school where they teach you the skills you need. Even though you’ve been mark...
Just before spring in the latter days of winter, the sap starts flowing and the sugar shacks start up. You can see people gathering sap all around the woods where the maple trees have been tapped. This is a time honored tradition steeply bound in the land. One year while out and about in our Mule UTV, my son and I noticed our neighbor boiling sap in the demonstration sugar shack down the road. We stopped in and he was getting worried about his wood supply. I said I could help him out and we headed to the woods. I got my brother involved and we...
Baby T has always had the house to himself. Sometimes he gets a playmate to come over but he must always dictate who plays with what, which I don’t think is very nice. So I would take him to other peoples homes so he could understand that no you don’t own every toy in the whole world, and yes you do have to share. Baby T is obviously an only child so he plagues me with the “I want a baby sister or brother” and the other one, “I’m bored…You’re not my friend” Sure I’ll play Lego’s with Baby T but I am not who he wants to hang out with. He wan...
