What does a drug free journey look like? My drug free journey would have a great impact on my future in various ways. Without drugs, there are more possibilities of being able to have a better career or getting into college.

Drugs would affect me when playing sports because smoking marijuana can cause damage to my lungs, meaning I would not have as much stamina or the strength as I need. Next school year I am hoping to get into private school. W...

Whatever the intentions may be, whether it is to have a closer encounter with wildlife, to help animals in the winter, or to increase the number of available game animals, numerous problems arise when we feed wildlife. Feeding wildlife interferes with a natural healthy balance between wildlife populations and their habitat. For this reason, and for many others identified on this page, wildlife biologists suggest to “just say no” to feeding wildlife. WHY FEEDING WILDLIFE DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD Wildlife feeding threatens human and animal saf...
A Washoe-Paiute Native from Nevada, Mike Galban, came to the Akwesasne Cultural Center Sunday Nov. 20 to talk about, “A Present of Clothing - Native Clothing in the second half of the 18th Century.” This lecture showcased his research on traditional Native regalia that ranged from moccasins to breechcloths.

The Justin No Frills/Cornwall Legion Branch 297 Major Midget Colts just returned from Brockville with a very good effort!

In Game #1- the Colts faced the Stirling Blues. Potvin stood tall for the Colts and stopped all but 1 shot, but the Colts could not buy a goal and lost 1-0. Potvin was named player of the game and Mikael Dobson was named M.V.P. of the game...
