Video of Anderson High’s Indian and Maiden dance stirs controversy

ANDERSON — Since the 1920s, Anderson High School has been represented by the Indian mascot, but a recent video posted to TikTok has the school under fire.

In the ’50s, the Indian mascot, and the Maiden mascot, which had been introduced a decade earlier, started performing a dance routine at home basketball games.

On Feb. 22, Sarah Holba, who is from Northern Indiana and goes by @rradregina on TikTok, posted a video critical of the dance to the app. The video also captured other AHS pregame rituals, such as cheerleaders passing around a ceremonial peace pipe.

As of Tuesday, the video, which carries the hashtag #culturalappropriation, had more than 688,000 views. Other TikTok users have overlaid their comments on the original video, as well, adding to the attention it has drawn. Newsweek posted an article about the video March 3.

Debora Haza, of Columbus, was sent the video by a friend in the Native American community. Haza is a citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians in Michigan.

“It triggers historical trauma in native people that we’ve had to live all of our lives,” Haza said of the TikTok video.

In an email to The Herald Bulletin, Brad Meadows, director of district and community engagement for Anderson Community Schools, said the district understands that the use of the Indian mascot at AHS has “not been endorsed by some tribes and tribal members but (we) trust they understand the historic and respectful context in which it has been used for many years.”

The school is committed, according to Meadows, to working with the Delaware Tribe of Indians, also known as Lenape people, to keep honoring Chief Anderson, the city’s namesake.

School district officials and representatives of the Delaware Tribe of Indians had a preliminary phone conversation Monday to open a dialogue, Meadows said.

Current Renters to Benefit From 340 Mill Road Development in Etobicoke

Just east of the Toronto-Mississauga border is 340 Mill Road where a proposed infill building will replace a surface parking lot. Designed by BDP Quadrangle, the proposed 60.9-metre high building will be massed as a 5-storey podium above which another 14 storeys will rise. The new building has been designed to function as an integrated development with the 19-storey apartment building on the lot that was constructed in 1970s. The new building will add 191 purpose-built rental units to the site, while expanding the underground garage to serve both buildings.

Overview of the site the intersection of Burnhamthorpe Road and Mill Road, where there is an established cluster of residential buildings ranging in height from 12 – 22 storeys. Image via Google Maps.

The rezoning of the site was approved by City Council last week. As part of the zoning approval, the City and site owner Mohican Holdings negotiated a Section 37 funding of $1,500,000 to be put by the City towards improvements to Centennial Park (about a kilometre to the north) and/or to connect cycling infrastructure on Burnhamthorpe Road from Mill Road to the Etobicoke Creek west of which there is already cycling infrastructure in Mississauga. If the money is not used within three years, it can then be redirected by the City to another purpose that benefits the surrounding community.

New rendering of the proposed building, image courtesy of Quadrangle Architects.

The City is also requiring that the existing 225-unit apartment building’s units remain renat controlled for a minimum of another two decades, and that its residents be given full access to all of the new indoor and outdoor amenities of the proposed building at no extra cost. According to the proposal, these amenities could include a gym, rooftop patio, lawn, pet relief area. Current tenants of the existing…

Tame Impala Brings ‘Slow Rush Tour’ To Mohegan Sun [Photos/Videos]

Kevin Parker brought Tame Impala‘s Slow Rush Tour to Uncasville, CT on Saturday for a show at Mohegan Sun Arena. Junglepussy got the show started and pumped up the crowd with a rap set that included her most well-known song “Trader Joe”. She’s undoubtedly a great entertainer, full of raw, unapologetic emotion and lyrics. While it certainly seemed like an odd pairing at first, the energy was right.

By the time Parker and his touring band hit the stage for their first-ever show in Connecticut, the 7,000-plus fans in attendance were ready to explode. Despite being an almost sold-out arena, it felt about as intimate a setting to catch Tame Impala as you’ll find anymore when compared to other big-city arenas the Australian psych-rockers are hitting.

The setlist remained unchanged from his entire tour, leading off with “One More Year”, the dancy jam to set the energy, before transitioning into the disco-infused “Borderline” and then psychedelic, bass-infused “Nangs”. By the time Tame Impala’s trademark confetti and lasers were on full display, every fan young and old was up and dancing. Parker certainly isn’t the most animated performer, but his music and production carry him to the very top of today’s touring acts.

Scroll down to check out a gallery of images from Tame Impala at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday courtesy of photographer Brent Goldman. A collection of fan-shot videos is also available from YouTube user relentfx. Next up for Tame Impala is a two-night run at Brooklyn, NY’s Barclay’s Center on March 14th and 15th.

Adjusting delivery services to offset high fuel costs

Many businesses and organizations are having to make changes to the way they operate.

NANTICOKE, Pa. — Stan Gorgas spends a lot of time behind the wheel as a delivery driver for Brick House Pizza in Nanticoke. He’s been keeping a close eye on the price at the pump. 

“I went to work and watched as I drove back on different deliveries, and the price just kept going up, up, up. It was $50 one week. Now we’re spending $80.”

The owners of Brick House Pizza started paying the drivers extra money out of their own pockets to offset high fuel costs. 

But drivers say the majority of their tips are still going toward filling their tanks. 

“Some days, they’ll do 50 to 80 miles on their own car,” said co-owner Ken Hillman.

So Ken and Debbie Hillman decided to tack on a $1 delivery charge that will go directly to the drivers.

“We held off as long as we could with raising our prices, and for two years since we opened, we were doing free delivery,” Debbie said. “But the gas prices are just sky-high now, and it doesn’t seem like it’s gonna end any time soon.”

Kevin Young sometimes travels more than 60 miles round trip to deliver pet food to people in need. 

He’s the president of Pawsitively for the Animals, a nonprofit based in Scranton that provides financial assistance and supplies to pet owners.

The organization can’t afford to spend money on gas.

“So my wife and I are eating this bill. We always have. But when we started the program, gas was $2.20 a gallon,” Young said.

Young decided to limit deliveries to one day in Lackawanna County and one day a week in Luzerne County. He’s trying to consolidate as many deliveries as he…
