The Akwesasne Falls Prevention Team recently visited the Akwesasne Boys and Girl Club to talk about how they can stop their elders from falling. Judy Cole went through the pictures in their 2008 calendar to generate interest and get the children talking. When she came to the February picture of the elderly lady coming down the stairs they noticed that it looked like their stairs except that there are two railings, two lights, two switches and two bright yellow lines at the top and bottom of the...

The idea to have an overnight event at Salmon River began six years ago when 4 women were brainstorming ways to share commonalities among our diverse student population. Salmon River students matriculate from several different elementary school backgrounds including the elementary school at Salmon River, the St. Regis Mohawk School, and the Freedom School. This means that Mohawk students are bussed away from their familiar elementary locations to join new classmates at the main campus school. Taking into consideration these circumstances it was...
This book is a truly good book, just the right amount of drama and humor. Laura Ruby is one that I will definitely read again. Audrey is a straight A and all around good student, so when gorgeous boy Luke comes into her life….she’s amazed that someone like him could actually like her. Even though Luke’s known to get around, Audrey couldn’t help falling for him, and loving his attention. One night at a party that one of Audrey’s friends was throwing she sees Luke and they end up getting together. While they were alone, someone took a picture o...
During grass fire season we hear a lot of excuses. We arrived on the scene of a large grass fire that extended for acres. This fire required every piece of equipment we had staged at two roads and a long driveway. We get the fire under control and we look at all this black space and it narrows down like an arrow right to the origin, a burn barrel still smoking. We had a civilian helping us out on the line, but he wasn’t really a civilian, he was an off duty police officer. That’s when we noticed the burn barrel was right behind his house. We ha...

Event organizers said hundreds of people attended the fair on the first day, and hundreds more the second. Grand prizes of an elliptical machine and treadmill were given out, and any community members attending were eligibl...
The word fungus comes from the Latin word, fungus, which means mushroom. Fungi occur in every environment in the world. Fungi’s major role in the environment is as a decomposer. They play an important and critical role. Along with bacteria, fungi play an indispensable role in nutrient cycling. It is believed that there are at least 1.5 million species, yet, to date, taxonomists have formally identified only 70,000 fungal species. Each has its unique purpose. Every thing on Mother Earth...
Over the course of Baby T’s little life I have only left him a few times. I’m the mom who gets pushed out the door to go and get a life because, well, in case you never noticed it is all about Baby T. Of course I crave a break once in a while to get my laundry caught up or maybe catch a movie with his dad. You know nothing too crazy. A night is about my limit and he always spends them at his Tota Girl’s house. He will stay sometimes for a weekend. He’s got three people over there catering to him so there is absolutely no need for me to worry. A...
