Dear Monica, I noticed that you endorsed me on LinkedIn for some of the skills I list in my profile. What is the point in endorsing others and receiving endorsements? I still don’t get this LinkedIn thing at all. Signed, Still Confused Dear Still Confused, I’m a huge fan of LinkedIn and have been for many years. When a super busy individual or team decides they want to find a very specific person to help them with a very specific project, they typically use LinkedIn to find them. It’s the online hangout for many of the world’s biggest movers,...
A BBQ was held at Generations Park on Saturday to highlight Foster Parent Month as well as give an opportunity for foster families to get together for a little fun. Thankfully, the threat of rain was not enough to put off the families and members of the Division of Social Services, the Group Home, the Intensive Preventative Program, Child Protective Services, as well as the Indian Child Welfare Act Coordinator, Stephanie Cook. The event had a bouncy house, and of course the playground. Each...

Positive thinking is a mental attitude that sees the bright side of things. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health, and favorable results. If you adopt this mental attitude, you teach your mind to expect success, growth and favorable outcomes. Some people accept positive thinking as a fact, and believe in its effectiveness. Others, consider it as nonsense, and scoff at people who believe or accept it. Among the people who accept it, not many know how to use it effectively to get results. However, it seems that many are becoming...

Submitted by Sue Ellen Herne The Akwesasne Wolf Belt came to the Akwesasne Museum in September 2010 on a beautiful late summer day. Each year since then, the Akwesasne Cultural Center has held a commemorative program to remind the community of that day.

Thompson faced a legal battle for some time after but was eventually dismissed. Dr. David Carpenter has been in the...
