Black flies can put a damper on summer fun, but a tick bite can change your life forever. Deer ticks (ID links provided below) are known to transmit Lyme disease, which is caused by any of three species of spirochete bacteria in the genus Borrelia. When a deer tick latches onto us for longer than 24 hours, it barfs a load of these fast-moving, corkscrew-shaped microbes into our bloodstream. The spirochetes, which have a particular craving for hearts, brains, and joints, begin to drill through our tissues in search of a nice place to settle down...

Thoughts of Peace: The Great Law Haudenosaunee oral history related that long before the Europeans arrived, Native Peoples of the Northeast Woodlands had reached a crisis. It is said that during this time a man or woman might be killed or injured for any slight offense by his or her enemies, and that blood feuds between the clans and villages ravaged the people until no one was safe. It was during this time that a male child was born to a woman of the Wyandot people living on the north side of Lake Ontario near the Bay of Quinte. It would...

By Isaac White Tick Tock. Tick Tock. For this week’s edition, that’s what I hear in my head. I am genuinely conflicted about the main subject of my article this week. These debates between my ears are quite difficult to resolve, particularly when one side decides to be stubborn despite my powers of persuasion. However, I’m only trying to sway one of the two points being argued against me. By myself. Voices in my head. Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ll get back to that internal feud in a little bit here. But first, I wanted to mention a documentary...
By: Cristen Hemingway Jaynes Bees are better for strawberries. About ten to fifteen percent of flowering plants are mostly self-pollinating, and strawberries are one of them.

Pollination by the bees increases the hormonal growth regulators that enhance the berries’ quality. Pesticides have been shown to i...
