Gerth’s goal is to raise awareness of what victims of crime and their families go through in Ontario.

“For those who haven’t had to experience this, I pray you never have to,” said Gerth, speaking to riders and passengers before Saturday’s ride. “No one understands the effects, the pain, the suffering of victim experience until it happens to you.”

About 50 riders and passengers participated in a ‘scenic motorcycle ride’ to Nanticoke Saturday, coming from across southern Ontario, including Brantford, Woodstock and Norfolk County.

Gerth’s daughter, Desiree Gallagher, was a victim of violence. She died in 2015 at age 23.

“My daughter’s story is one of many,” said Gerth. “I choose to talk about my daughter’s tragedy to bring awareness, and I have great support to help me do so. I want to bring awareness to what victims have to go through. It’s a never-ending rollercoaster and a life sentence.

No Comments on Passing lane helps Sainthood take Pocono feature – Harnesslink

WILKES-BARRE, PA –On a day not favorable to front-end horses at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, the International Moni sophomore gelding Sainthood came first-over, ducked to the inside, then moved up in the famous Pocono Pike to catch pacesetting favorite Royal Emeralds in 1:54.4 in the $15,000 featured harness racing trot on Monday, August 12.

Favored Royal Emeralds, going for her third straight win, went right to the lead and put out fractions of :27.3, :57, and 1:25.2, having a clear advantage most of the race. The Joe Pavia Jr.-trained Sainthood, who equaled his mark for Bay Pond Racing Stable, moved up to get into striking position, then caught the leader to win by three-quarters of a length, with a late-charging Wish List only another neck back.

SAINTHOOD REPLAY

George Napolitano Jr. drove Sainthood and watching George battle with Matt Kakaley for the top rung on the Pocono drivers’ victory ladder is like watching a heavyweight prizefight. Bam – George wins four on Saturday. Boom – Matt comes back with three on Sunday. On Monday’s card, Napolitano had four wins and Kakaley two, leaving Matt with a 185-184 lead over George – at least at this very moment.

After Tuesday racing at 1 p.m., it will be time for the biggest day of the Pocono racing year this Saturday, with $2,300,000 to be distributed on Sun Stakes Saturday, with the top three-year-old and Invitational horses in North America, such as Legendary Hanover and Jiggy Jog S, coming to the mountain oval to add to their reputations during a 14-race card that begins at 2:30 p.m. Free Pocono programs are or will be available at

Archaeologists determine copper earring unearthed near ‘Lost Colony’ site came from Native American village that welcomed English explorers

“This piece of copper now confirms that we have indeed located the site of Roanoac, the Algonquian village that welcomed the first English explorers in 1584.”

MANTEO, N.C. — Archaeologists say an unearthed copper earring likely came from European explorers who made up part of the “Lost Colony” in modern-day Roanoke Island, North Carolina.

The nonprofit First Colony Foundation said the earring was likely traded or gifted to local Native Americans between 1584 and 1585. According to the foundation, an analysis conducted by Madison Accelerator Laboratory at James Madison University found that the copper used to make the ring was of European origin, rather than from a North American source.

The foundation said neither the French nor Spanish — England’s rivals in exploring the New World — ventured as far north as Roanoke Island to trade.

Archaeologists found the earring at Roanoke Island’s Elizabethan Gardens.

“This is an amazing find, with an intriguing story to tell,” said Eric Klingelhofer, First Colony Foundation’s vice president for research, in a news release. “After laying hidden in the ground for more than four centuries, this piece of copper now confirms that we have indeed located the site of Roanoac, the Algonquian village that welcomed the first English explorers in 1584.”

The First Colony Foundation said at that time, the wife of the village chief treated English explorers Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe to a lavish woodland feast.

“We were entertained with all love and kindness,” Barlowe wrote in his journal, “and with as much bounty, after their manner, as they could possibly devise.”

“Which makes you wonder, was their hospitality later repaid with a gift of this copper earring, jewelry to adorn a chieftain’s wife or her ladies?”…

No Comments on Cherokee Nation Honors Artists at Annual Homecoming Art Show

TAHLEQUAH, OK – Cherokee Nation honored artists in a special reception at Cherokee Springs Plaza, previewing the 29th annual Homecoming Art Show. The show is now open to the public and on display through Sept. 7 in the gallery located next to the Cherokee National Research Center.

“This show continues to be such a special time and opportunity for our Cherokee artists every year,” said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. “We are pleased to honor our talented artists and the work they do as culture keepers to promote and preserve Cherokee culture for future generations.”

The juried show and competition features 135 pieces by 87 artists, including the following six Cherokee National Treasures: Harry Oosahwee, Lisa Rutherford, Lena Stick, Michael Dart, Kathy Van Buskirk and Troy Jackson.

This year’s Best of Show was awarded to sculptor Troy Jackson for his nearly 3-foot-tall ceramic vessel “Cherokee Rose 3, Continuance.”

“Year after year, our talented Cherokee artists show a commitment to the preservation and promotion of authentic Cherokee culture,” said Callie Chunestudy, Cultural Programs and Events Project Manager. “We hope that as the public gathers to celebrate the 72nd annual Cherokee National Holiday, guests will stop by and explore the beautiful works from our artists who continue to keep the Cherokee culture thriving.”

Artists competed for their share of more than $18,000 in prize money in two divisions, traditional and contemporary, alongside various specialty awards. The traditional division is defined as “arts originating before European contact” and consists of three categories: basketry, pottery and traditional arts.

The contemporary division is defined as “arts arising among the Cherokee after European contact” and consists of nine categories, including…

No Comments on Sheryl Swoopes Breaks Silence on Angel Reese Luring Gabby Williams to Chicago Sky

If there was one person who won all hearts with her exemplary performance in the Olympic gold medal game – it was Gabby Williams. In a contest that had neck-to-neck competition, Williams brought back the French time and again into the game. Seeing her performances, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese asked her if she would like to join the Chicago Sky. But Williams’s answer was sturdy since she had had her share of experiences while playing for the Sky from 2018-2021. Taking a look at their conversation on X, WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes has come to the fore to share her take.

Swoopes was present during the Queens of the Court podcast on Tuesday when she expressed her views on the entire Williams-Reese saga. And fans were excited to know how highly Swoopes thinks of Williams.

“I knew we’d get to Gabby later ’cause…. Yeah! I saw Dearica Hamby, Angel Reese reaching out like, ‘Gabby, wanna come back to Chicago? Dearica was like no but I asked first. Without question Gabby Williams needs to be in the league, she needs to go play somewhere. She’s beautiful to watch,” Swoopes stated via The Queens of the Court podcast.

No Comments on Education emphasized at Nanticoke Indian Powwow

MILTON — The Nanticoke Indian Tribe’s heritage and culture will be showcased Sept. 7-8 with the 46th annual Powwow, a two-day spectacle that has an educational component.

“That is a huge part of the whole event. That is our point, to educate the public on our culture and our heritage,” said Nanticoke Tribe Chief Avery “Leaving Tracks” Johnson. “There are a lot of people that don’t know our history that are from other areas of the country. When they come here, they are on vacation, and they don’t even know that we exist.”

“So, it is a big educational opportunity for people of all ages.”

Native American crafts and food vendors will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days of the powwow.

Admission fees are $10 for adults, $5 for ages 11-17 and free to children 10 and under.

The Nanticoke Tribe recently announced two Native American performers will be participating in the upcoming celebration at Hudson Fields.

Louis Campbell, whose Native American heritage is Lumbee/Blackfoot, will serve as the head male dancer, teaming with the Nanticoke Tribe’s Mike Harmon.

“He is very well known throughout the country and has performed at the largest powwow in the country, the Gathering of the Nations,” Chief Johnson said.

Angela Gladu, from the Cree heritage, will showcase her professional hip hop hoop and jingle dress dancing styles. The dancing performance will also feature Adrienne Harmon of the Nanticoke Tribe.

The host drums for the powwow are Red Blanket of New Jersey and Stoney Creek from North Carolina.

The opening ceremony Sept. 7 includes presentation of flags, grand entry and first dance session and will begin at noon. The second dance session is at 4:30 p.m.

Noteworthy for Saturday at 1 p.m. will be a Sept. 11 tribute beginning with a…
