Darts star Wright hopes he will still be rocking his colourful Mohican at 60

PETER WRIGHT says it will be a long time before we see the last of the Mohicans.

And given he wants to carry on for at least nine more years, he fancies being an oche rocker well into his 60s!

Snakebite, 51, is renowned for his colourful Mohawk, extravagant clothes and snazzy tattoos.

It takes about three hours before a match for hairdresser wife Jo to dye and sculpt his elaborate hair.

Traditionally for his opening match at the William Hill PDC World Darts Championship, the Scot goes that extra mile — and comes up with an even crazier idea.

Last year, he wore an outrageous green Grinch costume as he began the defence of his world darts crown.

In 2019, he survived a scare in his first match dressed as an Elf!

His latest attire is a well-kept secret and will be unveiled on Friday night in his second-round clash against Englishman Ryan Meikle.

World No 2 Wright said: “Wearing fancy dress doesn’t put me off. It’s just that people decide to play their best darts against me. For that one time of the year, they decide to go nuts.

“Will I ever…

Hiking Trail in Mohegan Lake Approved by Parks & Recreation

By Examiner Media Staff

The Yorktown Parks and Recreation Commission last week unanimously approved a short hiking trail in Mohegan Lake on town-owned parkland. The one-mile proposed trail has been named Tall Timber Park, occupying the former 1940-70 site of the Tall Timber summer camp and bungalow colony. The park is bordered by Scofield Road on the south, Ivy Road on the east, Crossways Road on the north, and Heyward Street on the West.

The Tall Timber Park trail was proposed last spring by the Tall Timber Park Committee, a volunteer group of Mohegan Lake residents who have marked and mapped out the trail and who will clear a path through brush and fallen trees and mark the final trail.

The proposal has met with strong opposition since July when residents on Ivy and Crossways Roads claimed the trail was a security threat because it ran too close to their homes. A Parks and Recreation Commission public meeting in July became openly contentious with demands for the trail to be either eliminated or severely shortened. Responding to those concerns, the Tall Timber Park Committee cut out the Crossways Road trail entrance and moved the proposed trail route further away from both Crossways and Ivy Roads.

The Tall Timber Park committee has since revised the trail five times in response to nearby residents. Each revision pinched in the trail’s loop moving it as far to the center of the park and away from any homes. Many neighbors then requested the trail be one path where hikers would walk up and back. Questions were raised by those opposing the trail about advertising the trail on websites and in trail publications.

At last week’s meeting, about 30 people showed up to the Yorktown Parks and Recreation Commission public hearing to either voice support…

“Being a personality onstage, that’s something I’ve been growing into,” Kevin Parker told Rolling Stone in 2019. “Saying fuck it and being that person who can rile up the audience. That’s someone I never saw myself as.”

Guitar giveaway a way for Lenape musician to give back to Indigenous youth

Playing the guitar, singing the blues, or writing songs has been a daily ritual for the past 30 years for Lenape musician Brock Stonefish of Moraviantown in southwestern Ontario.

“It saved my life,” said Stonefish.

“When I was about 13 years old, I attempted suicide. That was right around the time when I started playing guitar and it brought me back.”

Stonefish’s music has taken him across the globe, performing as a solo artist, opening for B.B. King, and touring the United States with Gary Farmer and the Troublemakers.

Now Stonefish is organizing his second Indigenous Youth Guitar Giveaway. He said it’s a way to give back, to help First Nations, Métis or Inuit youth that are struggling.

“I just want to provide that avenue for Indigenous youth, that I know that have the same problems I did when I was young on my journey through life.”

Damien Kiyoshk, 22, from Walpole Island is one of two recipients to receive a guitar from the first guitar giveaway that was organized last July. He’s been playing for two years and is an aspiring blues player.

“I was super appreciative,” he said.

“I had one previously, but it got kind of wrecked and wasn’t as good as the one that I got from Brock.”

Giving away guitars is not new to Stonefish.

“I had a guitar that I took with me when I opened for B.B. King; I gave it away to a 13-year-old about 10 years ago,” he said.

“It was a hollow body arch top guitar and I’ve given away banjos and a lot of guitars have been given to me.”

Opportunity to change a life

Stonefish has many supporters for his project, including Arne Vainio, a Native American physician from Duluth, Minn., who donated to the first project.

“He could totally change someone’s life,” said Vainio.

“I’m a Native in a…
