Dyer eyes more Darwin Cup success with Kaonic, Mohican Heights

No Comments on Dyer eyes more Darwin Cup success with Kaonic, Mohican Heights

Victorian trainer Neil Dyer is back in the Top End for his 16th consecutive Darwin Cup Carnival.

Kyneton trainer Neil Dyer believes he has two genuine contenders should they start in the $200,000 Darwin Cup (2050m) on August 7.

Dyer has already won NT’s biggest race three times with Hawks Bay (2011, 2012) and Royal Request (2017), and has high hopes for Kaonic and Mohican Heights in this year’s event.

Having already arrived in the Top End for his 16th-straight Darwin Cup Carnival campaign, which starts on July 8, Dyer has three runners at Fannie Bay on Saturday – Hettinger, Latest Bentley and Oliver Bullet.

Kaonic (49:7-2-2), an eight-year-old gelding by Savabeel, finished fourth in the 2021 Cup behind Highly Decorated before coming second behind Playoffs last year.

Mohican Heights (26:5-3-1), a six-year-old gelding by Australia, will make his NT debut this weekend, having started his career in the British Isles before relocating to Australia.

“I was anxious to get Kaonic back here,” Dyer said.

“It’s his third go in the Cup, he ran a good second last year to a good horse – another 50m he probably wins the race.

“He got held up, we were following the favourite Living The Dream and we had to get off its back, get around it and then get going through the pack, so it was a good run.

“I’ve never won the Cup first go, it always takes two or three goes with a horse.

“Hawks Bay and Royal Request needed a couple of goes before they won it.”

On that basis, Mohican Heights, formerly trained by Chris Waller, may find it hard to win the Cup – but he boasts a respectable…

An Indigenous garden is sprouting at Manhattan’s Morgan Library

No Comments on An Indigenous garden is sprouting at Manhattan’s Morgan Library

Stalks of corn stand tall among the towering skyscrapers of midtown Manhattan as part of a new exhibition at The Morgan Library & Museum which pays tribute to Indigenous culture.

The exhibit, called “Nora Thompson Dean: Lenape Teacher and Herbalist,” focuses on the life of Nora Thompson Dean (1907–1984), who worked to preserve Lenape culture. Featuring letters, photographs and a Three Sisters garden, the show’s on view now through September 17.

The museum itself, like all of Manhattan and New Jersey plus parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut, sits on what was once called Lenapehoking, the ancestral lands of the Lenape. Beginning in the early 1600s, European settlers forced the Lenape people from these lands. There are now federally recognized Lenape nations in Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Canada, places where displaced Lenape people live.

About Nora Thompson Dean

Dean was born in Oklahoma and she was determined to preserve her culture’s language, spiritual beliefs and knowledge of the natural world. As part of that work, she visited Lenapehoking many times, including a visit to New York City, The Morgan’s assistant curator Sal Robinson told Time Out New York. During the visit, Dean was scheduled to meet then-Mayor Ed Koch, but he never showed up for the appointment, instead sending an aide to meet her with an NYC souvenir.

At last, Dean is getting the spotlight in New York City with an exhibit that recognizes her deeply important work. To create the exhibition, the Morgan worked with the Lenape Center and Hudson Valley Farm Hub.

Why Townsend cannot house Empire’s Nanticoke development

No Comments on Why Townsend cannot house Empire’s Nanticoke development

A faded monolith introducing visitors to Townsend's village centre offices stands as lingering evidence of Ontario's plan for a city of 250,000. In the last year, election campaigns have discussed Townsend as an alternative to Empire Communities' plan for a residential development around Stelco's Lake Erie Works. A faded monolith introducing visitors to Townsend's village centre offices stands as lingering evidence of Ontario's plan for a city of 250,000. In the last year, election campaigns have discussed Townsend as an alternative to Empire Communities' plan for a residential development around Stelco's Lake Erie Works.

In the debate surrounding Haldimand County council’s request for a minister’s zoning order (MZO) to allow for the development of industrially zoned lands around Nanticoke as a mixed-use community, many in the have asked whether the 1970s plan to expand Townsend could be an alternative.

Townsend was once planned to be Haldimand-Norfolk’s central metropolis of 250,000, with shops and trails, a library and art gallery, nine schools and an indoor athletic centre, a train station and even a movie theatre.

Today, fewer than 2,000 people reside within the urban boundary, which has no more room to expand. Residents don’t have any of the once-proposed amenities except for the man-made pond and an outdoor sports area.

Former municipal offices now house the local Children’s Aid Society and regional mental health services.

Only 161 hectares of the planned 34,595 hectares were ever developed, and after selling to some farmers, the province held on to the remaining 567 hectares.

Infrastructure Ontario declined to answer questions by the Sachem, but there are currently no provincially owned surplus lands being offered for sale surrounding Townsend.

Retired provincial planner Ted Visser said in the 1970s, the province wanted “to move toward orderly growth so as…

Hegel teases Viking: a purist’s CD player

No Comments on Hegel teases Viking: a purist’s CD player

The last of its kind? When Hegel pulled the covers off its Redbook-only Mohican CD player in May 2016, it seemed to be so. A pandemic-induced parts shortage led to the Mohican’s discontinuation in 2022. That, as they say, was the end of that.

But not so fast.

This week, the Norwegians have announced a new CD player called Viking. And Viking is no sail-by refresh. It adopts the Mohican’s plain-Jane looks but has been reworked to better match the outward aesthetic of Hegel’s P30A pre-amplifier and H30A power amplifier. Viking also borrows Mohican’s twin circular compass-point switches. However, everything else has been redone from scratch.

Viking loads CDs via a slot (and not the Mohican’s in-out tray) behind which sit a brand new laser-and-CD drive mechanism and a resampling/upsampling-free AKM 4493SEQ-based D/A converter, both of which are directly controlled by a thoroughly revised Master clock system.

From the press release: “Using a quartz crystal with very low phase noise and our patented SoundEngine technology, the Hegel-designed discrete clock in the Viking reduces jitter to an absolute minimum.”

The front-panel OLED display is also new – reportedly chosen for its lower levels of electrical noise discharge – and the analogue output stage has been rebuilt from the ground up. The only other nods to the Mohican reside on the back panel where we find balanced XLR outputs, single-ended RCA outputs and a 75 Ohm BNC digital output (and no digital inputs).

Pricing will land at €4995 / US$5000 when the Viking begins shipping in September.

Six Nations’ huge battery project is the future of energy supply in Ontario — and maybe all of Canada

Post author By jeff

No Comments on Six Nations’ huge battery project is the future of energy supply in Ontario — and maybe all of Canada

The future of Ontario’s energy supply — perhaps even Canada’s — depends on 10 acres of rugged land wedged between an oil refinery and a steel plant some two hours south of Toronto.

This is not land humans can live on. But it is land that powers their lives — literally, in the past, present and future. It’s surrounded by an endless grid, a maze of grey steel frames and white wind turbines casting enormous shadows on the ground, as thick black and grey plumes float through the air from the Imperial Oil and surrounding aggregate and steel facilities framing the horizon.

This energy corridor was created just a few kilometres away from Six Nations of the Grand River, the only reserve in North America where all six Haudenosaunee Nations live together. It was built around them in the early 20th century, without their input or consent.

But the currents are shifting. Decades of energy policy is being transformed on these 10 acres of land where, in two years, 278 batteries will be able to power a city the size of Oshawa, Ont. (population 410,000). If the energy stored in the batteries comes from renewable sources, carbon pollution equivalent to that generated by 40,000 cars will be kept out of the atmosphere every year.

This energy corridor is soon to be the site of Canada’s largest battery storage farm and the third largest in the world: the Oneida Energy Storage Project. Now under construction, the project will be part-owned by Six Nations, which also owns many of the wind turbines spinning around it.

Energy storage is as it sounds: technology that allows for energy created by any source, from solar power to natural gas, to be stored for later use. For over a century, energy has largely been sent down…
