Dear Monica: I’m afraid to shop on the Internet, but I want to get some Black Friday deals for computers and iPhones for my family. Dear Online Shopper: Before I share info about shopping online, I can share some info I learned over the years about getting the best price and shopping experience at any time of the year. Always ask about discounts and sale prices for students, teachers, small business owners, and whatever your specific situation is. You will never know if you don’t ask. Many retailers in Akwesasne offer a discount to local Akw...
Dear Dr. Per Cap: I can’t save money! No matter how much I think about it and really want to do it, I just can’t seem to put anything aside out of my paycheck.

Big brother has recently become more into having friends and hanging out rather than wanting to play video games or go to the playground. If we are headed to the playground he asks, “Who can we take with us?” He isn’t interested in just going with little brother and myself. Lately, most days we’ve had an extra child or two hanging out.

Big brother is content and little brother who is forever the tail will go back and forth between his usual victim and a new unsuspe...
Submitted by reader Emily If we can improve our happiness by focused practice on gratitude I suggest you enjoy the following poem. Grace your dinner table with locally grown food and locally shared words of the late Rev. Max A. Coots of Canton. “Let us give thanks… For generous friends... with hearts as big as hub bards, and smiles as bright as their blossoms; For feisty friends as tart as apples; For continuous friends, who, like scallions and cucumbers, keep reminding us we had them; For crotchety friends, as sour as rhubarb and as indestruct...
PULLING APART: INCOME POLARIZATION IN NEW YORK STATE November 15, 2012 - A new report from the Fiscal Policy Institute shows that various income measures all point toward the same conclusions: in recent years, polarization has intensified; and New York has been one of the national leaders in this undesirable trend. The top one percent share of income dipped during the recession, but has started to rise again in the recovery. Further, no state is more polarized than New York and no large city is more polarized than New York City. This is in...
Research suggests the total solar eclipse of August, 1142 coincided with the birth of the Iroquois (Five Nations) Confederacy, near modern-day Victor, New York. By Bruce McClure Reprinted with permission from EarthSky My wife Alice regularly brings home the Indian Time news journal, a publication from the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation Territory in northern New York. It was with great interest that I came across an article titled “Dating the Iroquois Confederacy” by Bruce E. Johansen. What really attracted my attention was that a total, or near total,...
