In celebration of National Native American Heritage Month and “Interwoven Power: Native Knowledge/Native Art” at the Montclair Art Museum, Tiny Gallery presents “Land Back: A Tiny Gallery Takeover in Lenapehoking,” curated by Jennifer Ley, on view November 1, 2024–February 1, 2025.

“Land Back” features collections from seven contemporary Native artists installed in six Tiny Galleries in Montclair, Glen Ridge, and Bloomfield, New Jersey—all part of Lenapehoking, the ancestral homelands of the Lenape people.

Art allows us to examine the past, interpret the present, and envision the future, and Ley’s curation of Land Back brings forward the stories of Indigenous Americans, too often dismissed or overlooked.

Timber revenue from Mohican-Memorial State Forest reaches $130K in 2024

No Comments on Timber revenue from Mohican-Memorial State Forest reaches $130K in 2024

ASHLAND — Ashland County commissioners accepted a check Thursday morning that reflects timber harvesting out at Mohican-Memorial State Forest.

Chad Sanders, the forest’s manager, presented the $129,917.07 check.

State law allows the Ohio Division of Forestry to harvest timber as a forest-management operation. The spoils then get divided among the county, township and school district, with the schools getting the largest chunk.

Loudonville-Perrysville Exempted Village School District, this year, gets just under $65,000.

District superintendent Jen Allerding was not immediately available to comment.

The remaining funds, around $64,000, is split evenly among the Ashland County Board of Commissioners and Hanover Township.

Tornado boon

The last two years of timber operations revenue have been unusually swollen. A June 2022 tornado destroyed 480 acres of state forest, leaving behind a mess of fallen hardwoods and soft pines.

In 2023, timber operations revenue topped just north of $200,000 to be divided among L-P school district, Hanover Township and the county commissioners office. That meant the division of forestry harvested roughly 15,000 tons of oak, hickory, maple, poplar and other hardwoods.

Sanders said those hardwood species typically regenerate with time.

In 2022, the division of forestry harvested $28,720 worth of logs.

The Ohio Division of Forestry’s clean-up effort concluded in December 2023, Sanders said.

But thinning will continue in order to promote healthy growth of various trees and prevent fires. In Mohican-Memorial State Forest, much of the forest is comprised of white pine, a leftover of pine plantations planted “artificially to restore farmland,”…

No Comments on Mohegan Sun Offers the Most Tesla Charges in Connecticut

Mohegan Sun in Connecticut has pulled ahead in an unlikely but important amenity, with the property installing 60 new Tesla EV destination chargers.

Topping Up your EV’s Battery at the Mohegan Sun

The property now boasts the biggest one-stop-shop for all your EV charging needs, tailoring its offer to a player base that prefers electric vehicles over gas-guzzlers.

Thanks to the newly installed stations, Mohegan Sun is de facto the casino with the biggest EV charging capabilities in the state. Commenting on this opportunity, Mohegan Sun GM & president Jeff Hamilton has welcomed the opportunity to see the property host the EV charging stations and said that it was the second part of an ongoing partnership with Tesla.

“This EV charging roll out along with recent upgrades to our Royal Suites, the major refresh of our Sun Patio and the opening of the Shed Restaurant, with more incredible dining on the way – is all part of our goal to bring new, fresh and unique experiences and offerings to our guests,” Hamilton added.

The Tesla Destination Chargers now available at Mohegan Sun Level Four of the Indian Summer Garage, Level Three of the Riverview Garage, and Level Two of the Winter Garage, will all be available 24/7, offering guests the opportunity to plug in and charge their EVs without having to look for a station, easing their trip to and from the casino, and cutting waiting times for an available station.

Aiming at Casino Customers Who Drive EVs

Mohegan Sun Connecticut reminds drivers that they are also able to monitor their charging progress via the Tesla app, which allows them to quickly and easily keep track of how far along their charging has come.

Destination Chargers are not only available for Tesla’s, though, as other cars that use Universal adapters…

End of UNAMI not end of UN in Iraq: Chief

No Comments on End of UNAMI not end of UN in Iraq: Chief

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The conclusion of the United Nations mission in Iraq by the end of 2025 does not mean that its support and presence in Iraq will also end, the mission’s head said on Wednesday, stressing that the UN is entering its “most important” chapter in the country.

“The UN managed to help Iraq achieve a number of expectations, but the end of UNAMI’s mission does not mean the end of UN in Iraq,” United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) chief Mohamed al-Hassan said at the Middle East Research Institute (MERI) Forum in Erbil, adding “Iraq needs the UN.”

The UNAMI mission is set to end on December 31, 2025. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani made the request in May through a letter submitted to the UN Secretary-General and Security Council, stressing bilateral relationships should be “based on bilateral consultation and respect for Iraq’s will and sovereignty.”

Hassan, who is set to be the last UNAMI chief in Iraq, said that the main goal of the mission is “the return of security and stability.”

“Now, a more important chapter will begin, a chapter of implementing the expectations,” Hassan said, affirming that the Iraqi population is capable of solving the country’s “big” problems.

While UNAMI does not directly implement developmental and humanitarian programs, it plays an advisory role in facilitating partnership and technical cooperation between the Iraqi government and the 20 UN agencies, funds, and programs operating in the country.

“Those who created UNAMI can create other entities that are of greater assistance,” Hassan said, reiterating that “the most important part of Iraq with UNAMI is in this year.”

UNAMI was established in August 2003 at the request of Iraq under the Security Council Resolution 1500 to support Baghdad’s developmental efforts. Its mandate was extended annually.

The Iraqi government has cited improved security…

WNBA outlook is promising after record-setting year, although the league has a few challenges ahead

No Comments on WNBA outlook is promising after record-setting year, although the league has a few challenges ahead

The current CBA will still be in effect throughout next season, but both sides would like to get a deal done sooner rather than later.

Negotiations are always intense, but those associated with the WNBA have much to be excited about.

The league is expanding and will increase the number of regular season games to 44. The WNBA will hold an expansion draft for Golden State in December. The Valkyries will be the league’s 13th franchise. The league will add franchises in Toronto and Portland in 2026, with at least one other team starting in either 2027 or 2028.

Although the WNBA could lose one of its iconic stars if Diana Taurasi announces her retirement, league officials are looking forward to another highly anticipated draft. The draft lottery is next month. It will determine who gets the first pick and potentially Paige Bueckers, who 21 years after Taurasi could become the next UConn guard to be selected No. 1.

Many of the league’s top players will remain in the U.S. this winter and play in January in Unrivaled — the 3-on-3 league started by WNBA Finals standouts Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier.

The Stewart and Collier championship showdown led to strong ratings, with all five games having more than a million TV viewers. The decisive Game 5 drew an average of 2.2 million viewers, peaking at 3.3 million, which made it the most-watched WNBA game in 25 years.

The league as a whole had its most-watched regular season in 24 years and best attendance in 22 seasons. During the 40-game regular season, 22 telecasts topped at least a million viewers on a host of networks.

The league’s rookie class, led by Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, was a big part of that success — and all should come back stronger and better next year.

“When Caitlin Clark…
