Third Grade students in Mrs. Sprankle’s class have been writing letters to Mrs. Fraser’s third grade class from St. Regis Falls, all year long. In their letters they became familiar with the lives of their pen pal, and discussed what they are learning in school. Pen pals met for the first time on Friday May 30th. Students introduced themselves by giving clues from their letters. Students then visited, completed a butterfly craft, and had relay races. The day was a great success! Students wer...
The Wolf Belt is an Akwesasne or St. Regis Belt and once belonged to Chief Running Deer of the Akwesasne Mohawks. The center figures, two men, represent the French and Praying Indians (Caughnawaga, St. Regis, Oka and their allies) clasping their hands in friendship. The seven purple lines signify what is called the Seven Nations. The color between the seven black lines is white and means a peace path. This is guarded at each end, east and west, by the Wolf Clan, symbolized by the purple...

Since it’s so nice out and hanging out in our driveway gets old pretty fast - especially when the battery in Baby T’s mustang dies - we have taken up going to the wooden park in Massena on the insistence of Baby T. Everyday he asks, “Can we go to the wooden park?” And no matter how sick of it I am or how hot it is we go. I just don’t like going when it’s scorching hot out. But Baby T he doesn’t mind. He’s got all those cubbyholes and tunnels to seek shade under. As for me I am sitting there in the sun baking while I try to follow him from...
Way back in the formative years of the fire department there was little in the way of capital purchases. The department just didn’t have any money because very few people in the community had any money. Trickle down economics meant that an organization existing on donations couldn’t be picky when it came to equipment. The late Mary Martin had a store in the White Plains area and saw a fire engine for sale. She actually bought it with her own money and contacted the fire department to come and get it. Two eager members found a way down the...

Jeff Marshall of Fort Covington, NY liked it so much in the Mohawk Bingo Palace Victory Lane last week that he wanted to win again and he did just that by making it two-in-a-row in the Coors Light DIRTcar 358 Modified Division by winning the Parkway Auto Group / Peters Motorsports 25 this past Saturday night at Mohawk International Raceway. Delbert LeGrow and Tim Smythe started on the front row with LeGrow grabbing the lead from the get go and holding it for the first 16 laps of the race until a flat right rear tire sent a disappointed Delbert...

After getting an F in the first period, and a C in the second period they pulled together their best 20 minutes of the season for an A in the third period. In the end it wasn’t enough, as they couldn’t erase the 7-1 and 8-3 deficits they faced against the Six Nations Arrows Express after the first and second periods. Six Nations wound up with a 9-8 win. “The guys showed a lot of character and heart to come back after that first period…I just told them (after the 2nd) th...
