Submitted by Mallory Benedict A Camryn Strong day was held at Kana:takon School in honor of a little girl whose mobility has been limited. Karoniahenne Camryn Cook is regaining her strength. She is becoming more precise with her workout. She is dedicated to walking on her own and would love to be able to run with the other students. She had a bit of a setback and was told to stay off of her leg for 6 weeks. I knew this would be hard for her so when I heard this I thought about what I could do...

By Doug George-Kanentiio On the afternoon of February 14, a day typically given to expressions of affection, a nineteen-year-old boy entered the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. He carried the rifle in a gun case, avoided an armed Broward County Sheriff’s Department Deputy, took the rifle from the case and walked down the halls of the school randomly shooting at students, teachers and sports coaches. Some died or were wounded as they tried to shield others from the killer’s att...
A quick decline, thanks to G.M. Langevin's bad trades: 1. Four of last year's D'men, including Subban and young prospect Sergachev. Gone! 2. 50% of the players on the current roster have waved the white flag of surrender. 3. G'man Price caught in a fog! Attention span in doubt?...

Has anyone noticed the "Donald's" face is getting redder and his hair is falling out? Melania is leaving too. Is Mr. Mueller's noose getting too tight? Putin is enjoying this turmoil. Or, too much golf on the weekends?? The world is not a fan of the Tweety-bird, as he has aggravated everyone!...
Submitted by Paul Hetzler The good news is that Imperial Forces are losing the battle for planetary dominance. The bad news is that we still play for their team. The British Imperial System of measurement, born in 1824 to help streamline a host of odd units inherited from various cultures, was at the time an improvement. But in 1965, the UK adopted the decimal-based metric system, despite the fact it was invented by the French. Today, metric is universal in science and medicine, and of the 195 nations on Planet Earth, only 2 have yet to...

Submitted by Steve McDonald, CCE Association Issue Leader Are you looking for a fun, family activity to help time pass during the cold winter months? Consider winter feeding of wild birds. This ageless project is a favorite of many 4-H families and wildlife activists alike. Many people in the area are surprised to learn what a huge difference you can make by feeding wild birds right outside your own door or window. A large-scale winter storm, with deep snow or ice cover, cuts off many birds from their natural food supplies and can actually...

Submitted by Jessica Prosper, Agriculture Community Educator, Cornell Cooperative Extension Franklin County Living through a winter in Northern New York, especially one as cold as this one has been so far, often leads people to wonder if the cattle they see outside are uncomfortable and if they should be inside a barn. In most cases, the answer is no. Cows that are used to being outside generally prefer to be outside and will be healthy in cold temperatures as long as they are given adequate...
Who was Harry Anslinger (1892-1975) and how did he come to have a deep effect on the Mohawks of Akwesasne? To begin with we need to understand the product Mr. Anslinger director of the US Federal Bureau of Narcotics (now the Drug Enforcement Administration) from 1930-1962. Director Anslinger hated blacks, he hated jazz, he hated Mexicans. He believed their music and culture was polluting the rest of the United States and that the use of marijuana by musicians was the mark of a degenerative people, particularly African Americans who he accused...

Submitted by Paul Hetzler Encouraging people to make friends with wild plants can be a challenge. Sometimes there are genuine concerns. Nettles, as an example, make an early-spring cooked green par excellence, even though its fresh leaves and stems have stinging hairs that can cause an uncomfortable, if temporary, rash if care is not taken when harvesting it. Other times, it is a matter of perception. Critical to the survival of monarch butterflies, milkweed is delicious when prepared correctly. Jewelweed, native to wetlands, contains a sap...

By Doug George-Kanentiio I met the late Onondaga Rotiane, Irv Powless forty years ago when I enrolled as a student at Syracuse University in 1977. In my class were a number of Onondagas including Barry Powless, the son of Irv. Barry was an exceptional lacrosse player in the tradition of his family, clearly the best stickhandler on the SU team. Also in that historical class were Freida Jacques, later a clanmother, Ronnie Leigh Papineau-Goeman, a nationally acclaimed basketmaker, and Wendy Huff, a Seneca educator. There were 30 Iroquois students...

By Doug George-Kanentiio On November 27 US President Donald Trump demonstrated his ignorance and insensitivity towards Native people when he welcomed the Navajo Code Talkers to the White House in Washington, DC. Meant to commemorate “Native American Month” in the US the reception was to acknowledge the service of the Navajo veterans who played a vital role in communicating information using Navajo code words during the Pacific conflict in World War II. The Code was never broken by the Japanese and is said to have saved thousands of lives on...
