Catskills casino could infringe on Aqueduct

For many years, New York City-area gambling afficionados have always had to make a trip to New Jersey or Connecticut to hit the slots or the craps table.

Now, they suddenly may have multiple options.

Just as work is beginning on Resorts World New York, the casino featuring 4,500 video lottery terminals at Aqueduct Race Track, Gov. Paterson announced he had signed an agreement with the Wisconsin-based Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans to take a portion of land in Monticello, Sullivan County, into trust, which would enable the tribe to build a casino complex there.

If approved, the casino would not only compete with those in Atlantic City or eastern Connecticut, but the one opening in Queens in the spring.

Under the deal made with Paterson, the tribe will end its claim to 23,000 acres in Madison County, in central New York, and receive 330 acres in Sullivan County, where the tribe has already said it is interested in building a casino.

Genting New York, the developer of the Aqueduct casino, recently paid the state a fee of $380 million for the right to build a gambling facility, presumably with the idea that it would not face any immediate competition.

The Mohican deal would still have to be approved by the federal Department of Interior, which is not guaranteed. The agency denied a similar proposal in 2008 struck by then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, also in Sullivan County.

Stefan Friedman, a Genting representative, said the company would not comment in depth about the Stockbridge-Munsee agreement, but did add, “Before taking any other actions, the state — including the Lottery, the attorney general, the comptroller and the budget director — should fully assess the economic and legal impact of this decision.”

State Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach)…

Is nuclear next for Nanticoke as Ontario looks to meet energy needs?

The former site of North America’s largest coal-fired power plant could one day host a nuclear station.

Nanticoke in Haldimand County is one of three properties owned by Ontario Power Generation currently under consideration by the Ford government as  locations for future power plants to meet Ontario’s rising need for energy.

At its height, the Nanticoke Generating Station generated 4,000 megawatts of electricity. The coal-fired plant was decommissioned in 2013 after a four-decade run as one of Canada’s most important power producers — and one of the country’s largest single sources of pollution.

Last week, Energy Minister Stephen Lecce named the property on the shores of Lake Erie as a possible future home for a new power plant.

Along with Nanticoke, the province is looking at Lambton in St. Clair and Wesleyville in Port Hope.

All three southern Ontario properties are already zoned for electricity generation and are located near transmission lines and areas expected to see what Lecce called “soaring demand” for electricity to power manufacturing facilities, data centres, artificial intelligence programs and electric vehicle charging stations.

Lecce did not specify what types of power plants the province wants to build,  but the ministry has said nuclear and gas plants are on the table.

Ontario can meet the projected demand for energy until 2035, but the province  must add an additional 16,000 megawatts by 2050, by which point the  Independent Electricity System Operator predicts demand will have risen 75 per cent from current levels.

To meet what he called a “generational challenge,” Lecce has directed OPG to hold exploratory talks to gauge the interest of the three chosen municipalities and nearby First Nations.

Independent Haldimand-Norfolk MPP Bobbi Ann Brady said Nanticoke being under consideration for a power plant should put to…

Iraq ‘more secure, stable, and open’ than 20 years ago: UN envoy

HAMILTON, Canada

The UN envoy for Iraq on Friday described the country as “more secure, stable and open” while expressing confidence for it to overcome challenges.

“Today’s Iraq is not the same as the Iraq of 20 years ago, or even five years ago,” Mohamed Al Hassan, the UN special representative and head of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), said at a UN Security Council session.

“Despite the many obstacles facing, I am fully confident that this great country, deeply rooted in history and the cradle of human civilization, is capable of overcoming crises and facing challenges towards forging a more secure, bright and hopeful future,” he said.

He hailed the Iraqi government’s efforts under Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, and said: “Iraq’s government has shown strong resolve to keep Iraq out of widening regional conflict, standing firm as a strong voice for peace and stability.”


“In a region that is ‘on fire’, Iraq’s government has shown strong resolve to keep the country out of the widening regional conflict, while standing firm as a strong voice for regional peace and stability,” Al Hassan said.

He further noted that the Iraqi government strives “to position Iraq as a vital corridor for transportation, energy, and trade, leveraging regional partnerships.”

“Such initiatives underscore Iraq’s efforts to foster regional integration and prosperity,” he added.

Despite the developments, Al Hassan also said that “corruption continues to prevail in Iraq’s socio-economic life.”

“The country does require comprehensive changes and reform that will bolster accountability, promote competency, improve transparency and fortify governance systems,” he said, while voicing confidence that Iraqi authorities would take steps in this direction.

He also noted the importance of “state institutions promoting and supporting human rights.”

On relations with Kuwait, Al Hassan said the UN has “encouraged the continuation of negotiations and communication between the two brotherly neighbors.”

“We expressed the UN’s readiness…

Dietitian Marley Fisher brings Indigenous food to new sites

When Marley Fisher’s three-year-old daughter asked her to pick up ingredients for corn soup at the grocery store, she unknowingly highlighted the gaps that still exist for Indigenous Peoples. 

“White hominy corn, used in the traditional Indigenous dish corn soup, is difficult to get,” said Fisher, a registered dietitian from Munsee-Delaware Nation and a graduate of the foods and nutrition program now housed within the Brescia School of Food and Nutritional Sciences at Western University.  

As a dietitian serving Chippewas of the Thames First Nation and one of the few Indigenous dietitians in the region, Fisher is aware of the barriers Indigenous Peoples face in accessing traditional foods. 

“We have to bring white corn in from other communities as it isn’t available in local grocery stores. But it makes you think, why isn’t it?” 

 

Identifying gaps in Indigenous health
