Lauren R. Stevens: Hiking along the Mohican Recreational Trail in a Williamstown winter

The key to winter walking is to stay low. Finding a hardened surface, or semi-hardened, can help, too, especially in freeze-and-thaw conditions. For example, the Mohican Recreational Trail in Williamstown. Furthermore, while the trail is somewhat short for biking, walking end to end and back you cover nearly 5, mostly flat, miles, a good outing on foot. There are fine views of the Hoosic and Green rivers, plus, looking up, views of the southern end of the Green Mountains and the Greylock massif. The trail is not plowed, but sufficiently trafficked sot that any snow is likely to be beaten down.

Parking is at both ends, off Syndicate Road and at the Spruces. Spruces parking is on Route 2, near the North Adams line. Pass between the lions-on-pillars and turn right. For the other end, turn onto Syndicate Road where it joins Route 7 north of town center. Turn down the steep, short hill. (Incidentally, the signs have a slightly different name for the trail.) This description begins at Syndicate Road.

Bike Path Green

The view from the bridge shows the junction of the Green and Hoosic rivers.

LAUREN R. STEVENS — EAGLE CORRESPONDENT

The kiosk has (or will soon have) information about the Mohicans and the Hoosic River; there is also a map of a parallel foot path that gets even closer to the river. The first section of the trail is hardened. Soon you see a sign for the footpath, left, which is not paved and somewhat rough. A bit down that, another sign, and a second one, direct you to the Gravel Beach, where you can walk along the shore on a point bar.

Returning, go straight to continue riverside, past an area of bank erosion, to higher elevation, by a bench, and back…

Three gambling rivals fight for the casino that saved Windsor

Open this photo in gallery:

Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ont. on Nov. 24, 2023.Fred Lum/The Globe and Mail

If you want to get rich gambling in Windsor, run the casino.

That simple truth underlies a heated behind-the-scenes battle between three of North America’s largest gambling companies for control of one of the industry’s most lucrative properties, Caesars Windsor.

For the first time since the casino opened its doors 30 years ago, the licence to operate the slot machines and blackjack tables that rejuvenated the downtown in Windsor, Ont., is up for grabs. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp., the provincial agency that owns the property, is in the final stage of reviewing offers for what’s historically been a licence to print money.

While the process is meant to be secret, three gambling industry sources say there’s a three-horse race for a property that draws millions of tourists to the border city. The company that has run the casino for three decades – Las Vegas-based gambling powerhouse Caesars Entertainment Inc. CZR-Q – faces the prospect of being usurped either by upstart Bally’s Corp. BALY-N, which was built from casinos and a brand that Caesars sold, or Indigenous-owned Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment,which operates two casinos in Niagara Falls, Ont.

The Globe and Mail is not identifying these sources because the OLG prohibits them from publicly speaking on the selection process. Spokespersons for the OLG, Caesars, Bally’s and Mohegan declined to comment. The OLG is expected to announce the new licence holder by this fall. If the agency picks a new operator, it would take over in 2025.

In Windsor, everyone you talk to has a view of who should run a property that dominates the city’s economy –and skyline – by providing more than 2,000 jobs and anchoring the tourism industry.

Among city…

DePerry’s pride shines on Heritage Day

Then it all came to be. On DePerry’s visit she asked Karius about making time for a workout. She didn’t want to skip a day.

“She was a bundle of energy on that visit,” Karius said. “I’ve never had an official visit with a kid where they asked to make time for a workout. She loves the weight room. I coached for three years at a Power 5 school and no player has ever said, ‘Hey Coach, I know we have an itinerary but would it be OK if I have an hour-and-a-half where I can go lift? I don’t want to fall behind in my workouts.’”

Since then, Karius has seen the toughness, energy, and willingness to work hard. The coach has also seen DePerry’s unmistakable enthusiasm for representing her culture to young people attending games.

“She’s really passionate about the young kids because she was one of them,” Karius said. “She gives them a role model to look up to and to show them that it’s possible that you can do that. You can get a college degree and play Division I basketball.”

During DePerry’s decision-making process she discovered that USD didn’t have anyone in the transfer portal going into 2023-24. For some that might have been a deterrent because it meant a lot of the roster was going to stay the same, but DePerry didn’t see it that way.

Instead, she called it “a green flag.”

“During my three-day visit I got to spend a lot of time with the girls and I felt very comfortable,” DePerry said. “When I saw that no one was transferring out I thought it showed the culture of the team. Everyone wanted to stay together the next year.”

Caesar’s Ford Theatre kicks off series on historical interpretation by tribal members

Caesar’s Ford Theatre based in the Miami Valley is holding a webinar series on the significance of American Indian historical interpretation.

The nonprofit theater company’s mission is to tell historically accurate stories with actors who are citizens of federally recognized tribes. This series is meant to raise awareness of the work the theater wants to create, which are more drama productions.

The series kicked off earlier this month.

It featured American Indian speakers based out of Oklahoma sharing their experiences with historical interpretation.

One of the speakers, Levi Randoll, is chairman for the Delaware Tribe’s Cultural Preservation Committee. Here is how he defined historical interpretation.

“It’s important for real Native American folks to come out and help teach our own cultures and share that with you, so that you get a better, cleaner perspective of what the actual history of this country is,” Randoll said.

Jake Tiger is a cultural specialist with the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. He said historical interpretation can show up in multiple formats, but he pays particular attention to the attire he wears during programming.

“When people see an American Indian wearing the clothing of that time period, it pulls them in and gets them really interested. With that kind of approach, it’s like someone from that time period set up a time machine and told you what happened,” he explained. “It’s super important not only to have the right information, but have the right person to do it.” 

Randoll emphasizes the importance of someone from a federally recognized tribe must also be the one to portray tribal histories. He said, in his experience, this doe happen on the East Coast frequently. This is because many tribal communities Native to land along the Eastern U.S. were forcibly removed to the West between 1830 and 1850.

“Non-Native people, in my opinion, [are also] people from non-federally…

Conference on Proto-Algonquian | Canadian Studies Program

Conference on Proto-Algonquian
Saturday, March 2, 2024

The Canadian Studies Program is proud to announce a one-day conference honoring the late David Pentland of the University of Manitoba on the occasion of the posthumous publication of his Proto- Algonquian Dictionary . The conference will bring together scholars from across the United States and Canada to celebrate this significant milestone in Algonquian scholarship, and to celebrate Dr. Pentland’s life and career as a prominent scholar in the field of Algonquian studies.

Ever since Leonard Bloomfield published his groundbreaking 1946 sketch outlining the sound system and basic morphology of Proto-Algonquian, refinements of the details of sound change and the reconstruction of Proto-Algonquian has been a central part of Algonquian linguistics. But the close similarities among most of the languages has led to a plethora of proposed reconstructions that are often not fully consistent with one another. Pentland’s dictionary has been a long-awaited step forward, bringing a new level of rigor and consistency to the field. Of course, it will also be a springboard to a range of new questions about methodology, classification, and borrowing. And we cannot discount the window on Algonquian culture such a comprehensive work provides. Speakers at the conference will address these questions and more.

Please join us to celebrate David and his contribution to our field. The conference is at no cost, but you will need to register to attend either in person or over Zoom. Please email us at canada@berkeley.edu to RSVP.

Check-in and Welcome, 9:30-9:45 AM

Remembrance of David Pentland, 9:45-10:00 AM

Session 1, 9:45-12:15 pm

Lunch Break, 12:15-1:30 pm

Session 2, 1:30-4:00 pm

This conference will be held on the UC Berkeley campus and will be open to the public. The intended audience is academics with familiarity with Algonquian linguistics, or Proto-Algonquian more specifically.

Spot the punk rockers: hope for waxwing boost in annual UK bird count

The scale of this waxwing winter will be revealed this weekend when people are encouraged to spend an hour recording the birds they see in their gardens, balconies, parks and school grounds.

The spectacular migratory, mohican-sporting birds have been spotted across Britain during the colder weather and will be recorded alongside more familiar sparrows, blackbirds and robins in the RSPB’s annual Big Garden Birdwatch.

Waxwings are just such a brilliant bird and they always look like punk rockers in the trees,” said Beccy Speight, the chief executive at the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds). “People have loved seeing them this winter but I haven’t seen any yet so I’m keeping my eye out for them.”

Data from the long-running garden birdwatch has traced the waxing and waning of bird species in gardens, parks and urban areas, with 38 million fewer birds in our skies than almost half a century ago.

House sparrows traditionally top the list – and did so again last winter, with an average of more than four per count – but have declined by 57% since recording began in 1979. Starlings have similarly plummeted in number (down 81% since 1979) and many other common species, including robins and blackbirds, are in long-term decline. Wood pigeon numbers have soared (up 1,048%) with significant increases for goldfinches, magpies and great tits as well.

Goldfinches and great tits have benefited from the growing popularity of bird feeders and the provision of seeds in gardens throughout the colder months, and the RSPB highlighted the benefits of birds for humans too.

“Sometimes we forget that the wild world is right outside our windows,” said Speight. “Taking part in the birdwatch is such a great way of accessing that wildness and it can be that first step to getting people interested…
