P L Notsonice Grinds First-Over To Pocono Score

The feature of the final Sunday night card of 2025 at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania was a $15,753 fast-class conditioned trot, in which the Kadabra-P L Glitter mare P L Notsonice had a not-so-nice trip, but still won in 1:54.

Anthony Napolitano tucked in third early with P L Notsonice in a :27.1 quarter put up by One After Nine (Jim Pantaleano), then considered quarter-moving but was beaten to that tactic by Cassius Hanover (Kevin Wallis), who gained the top and slowed to the half in :57. P L Notsonice was out again on the grind through three-quarters in 1:25.3 and for the rest of the way, and the favoured mare’s class came through as she battled to the front and beat longshot One After Nine by a neck, with Cassius Hanover third. P L Notsonice is now a 41-time winner in 160 lifetime outings with $831,716 in earnings. Anthony Faulkner trained her to victory for Elite Harness Racing LLC. The eight-year-old mare paid $3.60.

There were two impressive two-year-old winners on the card. The first was the Stay Hungry-The Santafeexpress filly Santafes Hungry ($13.60), who was just along to catch heavy favourite Amira Hanover (Braxten Boyd) and break her maiden in 1:53.4, racing her back fractions in :55.4 and :27.3 for driver Matt Kakaley, trainer Carl Conte Jr., and owner Ed De Rosa. The other was the Greenshoe-Ma Was Right gelding Credible Control ($9), who came up the inside after a blistering pace to win for the first time in 1:57.2 for the meet’s leading driver and trainer, Tyler Buter and Ron Burke, and the partnership of Burke Racing Stable LLC, Larry Karr, Knox Services Inc., and Beasty LLC.

Driving doubles were posted by Kakaley and amateur Tony Beltrami.

Pocono now switches to a basic schedule…

Millsboro bypass turned up indigenous artifacts

Archaeological digging for the north Millsboro bypass turned up some pottery pieces, but no human remains or very significant finds during the years of study, design and construction. Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) archaeologists dug into the topic at an Aug. 21 lecture at the Nanticoke Indian Museum.

Throughout humanity, people followed animal trails, which were widened to become paths, then widened again and again to accommodate horses, carts, cars, trucks and modern traffic. In 1917, Delaware created a central highways department as roads were dug by hand and then by machine. By the middle of the 20th century, more research went into materials, traffic and design.

Finally, the U.S. started paying attention to what was being paved over.

“One of the things that came in the 1960s was the idea of preservation,” said Micaela Younger, a DelDOT architectural historian. She pointed to Williams Pond in Seaford as an example of the before-times. It was dammed up in the 1950s or ’60s, without any cultural studies beforehand.

“Was there an environmental damage? We do not know. Was there any cultural significance? We don’t know. Did they find anything? We don’t know. So, with that, came this whole movement to kind of preserve public opinions.”

By 1970, Congress created the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. That legislation created requirements for researching and asking the general public how projects might impact the local landscape, culture, history and ecology.

“When there is any federal involvement … the federal agency is responsible for taking into consideration the effect of the projects on the historic resources and providing a chance for there to be comment,” said archaeologist John Martin, DelDOT’s Cultural Resources Program supervisor.

A dropped pot or a potential trove?

Set to open on Sept. 22, the new bypass will wrap around the northeast side of Millsboro,…

Algonquian Conference in Winnipeg to Spotlight Community-Based Research and Indigenous Languages

Winnipeg, MB — The University of Winnipeg will host the 57th Algonquian Conference this fall, bringing together scholars, students, cultural workers, and community members from across North America to share research and celebrate the diversity of Algonquian languages and cultures.

Scheduled for October 17–19, the event is expected to draw up to 200 participants from Canada, the United States, and beyond. Organizers say the gathering will feature both in-person and online presentations, along with workshops, roundtables, panels, and a special cabaret-style evening showcasing Indigenous performance and language.

A Gathering of Shared Knowledge

The Algonquian Conference has long served as an international forum for interdisciplinary research related to Algonquian peoples. While Canada and the U.S. alternate hosting duties each year, this marks the first time the University of Winnipeg has welcomed the event.

Heather Souter, a Michif (Métis) faculty member in the Department of Anthropology and Indigenous Languages program and a member of the conference’s organizing committee, emphasized the significance of this year’s meeting.

“The committee has been working hard to ensure all participants can engage with each other in ways that help them see beyond stereotypes, trauma, and superficial differences to our shared humanity and a shared and hopeful future,” Souter said.

She added that the conference aims to strengthen relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars while underscoring “recognition of each Indigenous nation’s sovereignty and autonomy, particularly in the context of knowledge and research.”

The Role of Algonquian Languages

The Algonquian language family is among the largest in North America, spanning communities from the Atlantic coast to British Columbia and south into Oklahoma. It includes Cree, Anishinaabemowin, Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Mi’kmaq, Arapaho, Fox-Sauk-Kickapoo, and both Southern and Northern Michif.

“Algonquian peoples represent the largest combined group of First Peoples in Canada,” Souter noted.

This linguistic and cultural diversity will be front and…

Learn About First People in Our Area

The Lenape people are Indigenous to the Delaware Valley, and unless you are descended from the Lenape or other Native American tribes, you are not Indigenous. From parts of New York and eastern Pennsylvania to New Jersey and the coast of Delaware, the Lenape lived in this region for thousands of years.

They were the first inhabitants of the lands now known as Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where many of the county parks, historic sites, nature centers and place names acknowledge the Lenape’s role as the original caretakers of this land through exhibits and signage.

To learn more about the Lenape and their culture, join Jennie Dancing Butterfly, cultural historian and member of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, Native Americans of the Northeastern Woodlands, as she discusses Lenape culture and language from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Sept. 25 at the Schuylkill County Historical Society, 305 N. Centre St., Pottsville.

Jennie Dancing Butterfly is a Lenape woman who grew up in Berks County. Both of her parents were members of Turtle Island Chautauqua in Lancaster County and participated in the teachings of Doris Riverbird and Chief Carl White Eagle. She incorporates her parents’ knowledge with experience from her own life’s journey, while learning about her culture and heritage.

She will provide a display of her parents’ regalia, as well as her own, and will also talk about the Lenape language (Unami dialect) and being part of revitalization efforts. A certified instructor, she has been studying the language for four years. The program will be highlighted by traditional Lenape stories.

This event is free for historical society members and $5 for nonmembers.

In addition, the society is looking for volunteers to help in the gift shop, scan photos, set up displays, assist with events, record programs, and do whatever it takes to preserve…

Re: Please restore Nober Park so the grass can be mowed, The possible uses for the Nanticoke lands, To Prime Minister Mark Carney

Please restore Nober Park so the grass can be mowed

To the Editor,

I am expressing my anger for the way Haldimand County destroyed an area once beautiful with mowed lawn and flower beds.

The road property is located at County Line 74 and the Thompson Road, which goes west into Waterford.

A few years ago, Haldimand County repaved part of County Line 74. Ditches were also cleaned, and truckloads of dirt and debris were dumped on this road property. The plan was that the lower area of this property would be filled in, but only to the top of the two long flower beds. The two flower beds should have remained untouched, and the dirt dumped to fill the low area should have been leveled and seeded. That did not happen. 

The truck loads of roadside dirt covered the entire area, destroying the two flower beds. The ground was never leveled down to allow the grass to be mowed. 

Weeds have now taken over. 

I live nearby and maintained this property for many years at no cost to anyone. The Waterford and District Horticulture Society and I created the flower beds and planted flowers in them starting in 1982. Some called the property the Nober Park. 

I complained when all the destruction took place. Instead of levelling the ground, a truck was brought in and grass seed was spread over the mess to try and cover it up.

Will Haldimand County please fix the damage they caused, by first leveling and removing any rocks or other debris put there? Once this is fixed, grass can be seeded and mowed to beautify the countryside. 

How would you feel if someone dumped truckloads of dirt and…

A historic Lenape tradition is returning to Prospect Park this weekend after decades away.

On September 13 and 14, the park will host the United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow, its first intertribal gathering since 1972 and the second-ever Lenape Pow Wow in New York City.

The weekend welcomes indigenous Lenape communities back to their ancestral homeland and celebrates Lenape culture and heritage with dancing and music, food, art, and artisan crafts.

“Reviving the Pow Wow tradition in Prospect Park provides the Lenape/Lunáapeew who were forced to relocate across the continent back to their ancestral homelands to reunite and celebrate, and offers Brooklynites of all backgrounds the chance to immerse themselves in the cultures of the original stewards of this land,” said Morgan Monaco, President of Prospect Park Alliance, in a statement.

The Lenape, also known as the Lunáapeew, are indigenous to New York City, and lived across the five boroughs — including in Brooklyn. Conflict with American settlers, war, and disease killed thousands, and the Lenape were eventually forced out of their homeland.

From 1916 to 1972, Prospect Park hosted regular intertribal Pow Wows, gatherings where Lenape/Lunáapeew gathered with neighboring tribes to socialize and celebrate. Now,…

‘They’re not negotiating in good faith’- Empire responds to mayor, councillor

NANTICOKE—As reported last week, Haldimand Council voted 4-3 to maintain their support of Empire Communities’ divisive Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) request for a potential Nanticoke development including residential, commercial, and industrial uses.

The vote was brought forth by Councillor Brad Adams and backed by a petition asking Council to rescind their previously approved support of the Empire-submitted MZO request, currently awaiting a decision from Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Rob Flack.

During discussion on the motion, Adams and Mayor Shelley Ann Bentley made allegations against Empire about their dealings with potential businesses interested in building on the industrial land in Nanticoke.

NANTICOKE—A slide from a February 14, 2022 presentation showing the subject lands of Empire’s planned development outlined in red.

“Empire has been approached by businesses for light industrial,” said Bentley. “I get the calls, because I send them out there … but then I hear back six or eight months later that they’re not negotiating in good faith.”

Adams claimed that Empire is currently demanding over $300,000 an acre for land that is “undeveloped and lacks municipal services, which is significantly above fair market value. In fact, Empire purchased the land at just over $21,000 an acre a little over a year ago”.

“This indicates to me that these folks do not want industry in the industrial park,” he said, suggesting they have been “approached by industry, and bluntly turned them away.” 

He listed a solar project as an example, where the developers “expressed interest in leasing or purchasing the land for industrial use but have not been given a fair opportunity to negotiate. Empire’s refusal to engage in good faith negotiations and their unwillingness to consider…

Atlanta Dream vs. Connecticut Sun Live Odds

Atlanta Dream (25-14) vs. Connecticut Sun (10-29)

Atlanta’s offense is clicking. They’re averaging 83.4 points per game on 43.9% shooting. Over their last five, they handled Dallas by 22, beat New York, and edged Minnesota. The two losses came against LA by single digits. Allisha Gray has been steady all season — 18.7 PPG, 5.4 boards, and over 3.5 assists. The Dream also share the ball well (21.2 APG) and don’t beat themselves with turnovers (11.5 per game). Defensively, they’ve gone under the total in nine of the last 10 because they slow opponents down, holding them to inefficient looks. Jordin Canada being questionable with a hamstring…

Electa Quinney: First Teacher in Wisconsin

Narrator: Electa Quinney was heartbroken to leave her home. She was barely ten years old, and she and five other Mohican girls were going far away to school. It would be a long time before they would see their families again. But they knew that education was their best chance at surviving. To understand why, we have to go back to the years before Electa was born.

[dramatic music]

Electa and her family were Mohicans. The Mohicans lived in a thriving community in the state now known as New York. But by the 1700s, more and more European invaders were coming to America to seize land and resources. Colonization, war, and European diseases decimated the Mohican populations and homelands. In order to survive, the Mohicans were forced to move.

In the 1730s, they decided to live alongside some English colonists and form the town that became Stockbridge, Massachusetts. There, the Stockbridge Mohicans raised families, farmed and hunted, and participated in town life. When the Revolutionary War broke out, the…
