No Comments on Stockbridge leaders and Mohican tribal liaison dedicate new Housatonic crossing signs marked ‘Wa’thatinik’

STOCKBRIDGE — To honor the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, the area’s original settlers, town leaders and residents attended a ceremony Thursday dedicating the first of 10 new Housatonic River crossing signs — Wa’thatinik, the Mohican word for “the land beyond the mountains.”

Select Board member Patrick White organized the brief gathering and Select Board Chair Jamie Minacci presided under rainy skies at the Goodrich Memorial Footbridge at the end of Park Street. The bridge connects to a riverside walk and popular trails leading to Ice Glen and Laura’s Tower.

The ceremony marked “another symbol of the tribe and the town of Stockbridge creating beginnings and working together,” Mohicans tribal liaison Sherry White told The Eagle. Citing the walking tour of local Mohican landmarks offered for people to learn about the tribe, she pointed out that “there are people here who don’t even know yet that we exist.”

“We were talking this morning about some other opportunities to strengthen our relationship with efforts that began decades ago, to keep it moving forward,” Patrick White added. Among the other signs to be posted is at the river crossing on East Main Street near the Stockbridge Golf Club.

At the ceremony, he presented a dedication stating that “Wa’thatinik is what the ancient voices…

-The Lynx’s recent form and recent player performance

-The Sun’s recent form and recent play performance

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between the Lynx and Sun.

Lynx Continues to Pick Up Big Wins

Center Brionna Jones had a strong game putting up 17 points and nine rebounds, and three players actually scored at least 16 points. Even if the offensive success from those three, the rest of the team didn’t do enough. The Sun are averaging 80 points while their defense is giving up 74 points per game….

UNAMI welcomes start of election campaigning in Kurdistan Region

No Comments on UNAMI welcomes start of election campaigning in Kurdistan Region

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) on Wednesday welcomed the start of the Kurdistan Region’s parliamentary elections campaigning period and called for a peaceful process.

“The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) welcomes the commencement today of the campaign period for the upcoming Kurdistan Region parliamentary elections scheduled for 20 October 2024,” UNAMI said in a statement.

The UN mission emphasized the need for a campaign free of violence and intimidation.

“UNAMI looks to all candidates, other political actors and the media to foster a climate of respect, inclusivity and open dialogue throughout the campaign,” continued the statement.

Iraq’s Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) on Tuesday announced September 25 as the first date of election campaigns which will last until midnight on October 15.

A total of 1,191 candidates are vying for the 100-seat Kurdistan parliament, according to IHEC. That number includes 823 men, 368 women, and 38 candidates from minority communities.

Nearly 2.9 million people are eligible to vote, including around 215,000 early voters. There will be 1,400 polling stations, including locations in the disputed areas and most Iraqi provinces, for eligible voters.

Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani on Tuesday called on the political parties to run a peaceful campaign, while remaining respectful to women and the symbols of ethnic and religious minorities.

Early voting for security forces and internally displaced persons (IDPs) is scheduled for October 18, while the general vote will take place on October 20.

The electoral process has faced numerous challenges, with interference from Baghdad exacerbating tensions between the Kurdistan Region’s political parties, particularly between the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).

The Kurdistan Region last held elections in 2018. The upcoming elections were initially scheduled for 2022, but have been delayed several times.

Ways Wissahickon Valley Park makes Philly more resilient against climate change – Metro Philadelphia

No Comments on Ways Wissahickon Valley Park makes Philly more resilient against climate change – Metro Philadelphia

Spanning 2,000 acres with more than 50 miles of trails, Wissahickon Valley Park in northwest Philadelphia offers a variety of recreational opportunities, from hiking and biking to bird watching and picnicking.

We are a professor of history who co-authored a book on the Wissahickon Valley and an assistant professor of biology. We teach students at Chestnut Hill College, which sits directly across the street from this lush urban park, about the environmental history of the Wissahickon forest and the importance of preserving its biodiversity. We’re also developing a documentary on the Wissahickon funded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph.

We want our students – and all Philadelphians – to understand the importance of protecting this urban ecosystem as a way to build climate resilience.

Like many of the country’s other great urban parks – from Central Park in New York or Rock Creek Park in Washington to the smaller Phalen Park in St. Paul, Minnesota – the Wissahickon lowers the city’s temperatures, reduces its carbon footprint, protects the water supply and mitigates floods. And, it remains an active arena for community building and engagement, which further increases Philadelphia’s resilience to climate change.
