  • Disarm Migraine Triggers

    Oct 28, 2010

    Imagine an excruciating headache that manifests as a spectacular light show, pulsating and exploding in sync with the pain in your skull, or an incessant stabbing coupled with nausea and narrowed vision. These are classic symptoms of a migraine headache, debilitating by any description—a pain so vivid it can only be understood by fellow sufferers. Pharmaceuticals such as aspirin, Midrin, Migranal or oral triptans (including Imitrex and Zomig) can work wonders in alleviating the pain, but for some these remedies carry unwanted side effects, m...

  • Cumalitive Grief - An Akwesasne Must-Read

    Oct 28, 2010

    Submitted by Wholistic Health and Wellness Several deaths in a short period of time can lead to bereavement overload or cumulative grief. It occurs when there is no time or opportunity for an individual or community to completely or adequately grieve for each person who has died. Grief is a natural, normal response to loss. Although grief is considered a natural reaction it can at times feel enormously painful, overwhelming and exhausting. Understanding grief and taking steps to address pain and loss are important in grief recovery. Common and...

    Oct 28, 2010

    More than 20 families and nearly a hundred people turned out for the St. Regis Recreation’s 3rd Annual Family Pumpkin Carving Competition Monday evening.

Patterns are provided each year to the families but they are free to bring in their own ideas and tools, as long as the pumpkin is carved during the two-hour event. Children and parents worked together to get the guts out of t...

  • Know them

    An Anonymous Mother|Oct 28, 2010

    Being home with your kids really gives you the chance to get to know them. You could be a stay-at-home mom or a working mom it doesn’t matter. I found that rainy days are perfect opportunities to bond and take it easy with each other. Listening to rain fall on your roof, or watching it through the window are times that even though we may not be talking we are enjoying the sights and sounds together. Light rain usually just plays as the back round noise while I find indoor activities for us to do like color, read book after book and this m...

  • Senior Moments

    Rosemary Bonaparte|Oct 28, 2010

    What a week! I started out this week mourning our losses in Akwesasne. Then I was invited to go to a conference on Aging with the St. Regis Mohawk Senior Citizens. The main speaker at the conference was Dr. Susan Wehry from Vermont and the topic was Alzheimer’s and other brain problems of the elders. What a speaker! She started off by listing the myths about the brain such as “The brain can’t make new cells.” Wrong! Then she talked about the experiments with mice, birds, animals and also humans who donate their brains to science. They are fin...

    Yes, the real Elvis. No, not Costello, but Elvis Stojko, the two-time Olympic skating silver medalist was part of a touring group who held a press conference recently at the Cornwall Civic Complex to announce Rock the Ice. This won’t be your usual figure skating show because when they presented a video from their European shows, in the first five seconds, eyebrows were raised and jaws were dropping. This will be an exciting, unforgettable show not to be missed because it will be so different. D...
