Lessons in Lenape

May 1—ANDERSON — As he strolled slowly around a set of tables set up in a large square, Joe Cronk stopped occasionally and greeted each of his students with a simple question, spoken in the Lenape language.

Kulamalsi hàch?

How are you? The replies came in halting voices.

Osòmi. Fine.

That was one choice the students in Cronk’s Lenape Lessons class could use to let their teacher know how their day was going. The exercise was a preamble to the day’s lesson, which included basic Lenape vocabulary and a discussion on clothing and accessories used by the Lenape, an Algonquin tribe which populated the area that is present-day Anderson.

“The Lenape language is a dying language,” Cronk told the 15 students. “No one speaks it natively anymore.”

The six-week course is being offered to fourth graders at Tenth Street Elementary School as part of Anderson Community Schools’ budding partnership with the Delaware Tribe of Indians. Following the district’s decision to discontinue the high school basketball pregame routine involving the school’s Indian mascot and maiden, conversations with Chief Brad KillsCrow of the Delaware Tribe became centered on ways the district could create opportunities to provide updated material for course work in classes throughout the district.

Cronk’s class, which is scheduled to meet each Wednesday through mid-May, is the first product of those efforts.

“Part of our agreement with the Delaware Tribe, when we were talking about mascots and community history, was that we would promote authentic history of the Anderson area,” Cronk said after the class was dismissed. “It’s important that they learn what the authentic history is.”

Cronk said he began studying material for the course about a year ago. He said that standards put forth by the Indiana Department of Education mandate course work on the state’s history starting in fourth grade. The Lenape Lessons course, he noted,…

Chief public defender replaced in defending Nanticoke man on fatal drug driving charges

WILKES-BARRE — A Nanticoke man charged in the drug driving death of James Mahon in Plymouth last year was appointed a new defense attorney Tuesday due to a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship with his previous lawyer, Luzerne County Chief Public Defender Steven M. Greenwald.

Jose Calo, 58, of Pine Street, was under the influence of fentanyl when he crashed his Ford Explorer that killed Mahon, 86, in the area of 10 E. Main St. on June 25, according to court records.

Greenwald graduated in 1977 from Wyoming Valley West High School when Mahon was an assistant principal.

Calo when presented with a plea agreement offered by the District Attorney’s Office in March began to express his disappointment that Greenwald had a prior “relationship” with Mahon, according to court records.

Greenwald said he had no relationship with Mahon other than the fact Mahon was an assistant principal at the high school he attended. Greenwald said he had not spoken with Mahon in nearly 45 years.

Despite the near half century of not seeing or speaking with Mahon, Calo felt there was a conflict with Greenwald defending him on charges of homicide by vehicle, homicide by vehicle while driving under a controlled substance, accidents involving death, driving under a controlled substance, driving with a suspended license and several traffic violations.

Since March, Calo refused to meet with Greenwald and members of the public defender’s office at the county correctional facility.

Greenwald filed a motion for a conflict attorney to be appointed to represent Calo.

In court Tuesday, President Judge Michael T. Vough said defendants have a right to be represented by an attorney but don’t have the right to chose an attorney if they are unable to afford one themselves.

Greenwald said the…

Reconnecting with the culture of the Hudson Valley’s native inhabitants

At their 95-acre forest farm and camp near the Greene County town of Cairo, Justin Wexler and Anna Plattner are re-creating the landscape as it was known to the native inhabitants of the region. Each weekend throughout the summer, they invite visitors to the property, Wild Hudson Valley, to learn about edible plants, medicine, folklore, history, and both ancient and modern forest farming practices.

Guided nature walks and workshops are geared toward all ages. Programs for families help kids and adults connect with nature. For an even more immersive experience, visitors can stay overnight at one of four eco-campsites. 

Unlike most nature education programs, Anna and Justin emphasize the role of native peoples in relating to the land. Justin’s fascination with the natural world began when he was a child growing up in the Hudson Valley.

“I realized by time I was eight or nine that the people who would know the land best were the people who lived here for generations but were driven out of their homeland,” he said. By his teens, he was trying to visualize the life of the Lenape, who inhabited the area before they were displaced by European settlers. 

As he researched the history of the Hudson Valley and its occupants, Justin made connections with descendants of the Lenape, now dispersed to communities in Ontario, Wisconsin and Oklahoma. After befriending residents of those communities, he hosted Lenape people who came to visit their homeland. He continues to make links with organizations that would help represent their culture and history.

Snowman Hanover upsets in $50,000 Weiss final

Ray Schnittker

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Snowman Hanover (Bar Hopping) showed last Sunday he appreciated his reintroduction to harness racing trotting hopples with a victory in the Bobby Weiss Series final prelim for his sophomore male group, and in Sunday’s (April 30) $50,000 Weiss Championship he again was victorious, taking his field coast-to-coast in 1:58 over a sloppy track during a rainy night.

Mark MacDonald got the 9-1 gelding to the lead before the :28.3 quarter, then backed off the half to :59.4. Bestfriend Volo, the favorite who had won both of his Weiss prelims, moved out to go after the leader through both sides of the 1:29.1 three-quarters, but Snowman Hanover dug in gamely and held off the chalk by half a length. He paid $21.80 to win. The Ray Schnittker trainee is owned by the partnership of Schnittker Bordogna, Arden Homestead Stable, Steven Arnold, and Ted Gewertz, and he helped driver MacDonald to lead the local colony on the night with three successes.

SNOWMAN HANOVER REPLAY

A $15,000 pace for developing horses headlined the action on that gait, with Beach Vibes (American Ideal) never looking back as he came within a tick of his mark with a 1:52.4 off-track victory for driver Braxten Boyd. The gelding has now won three of his last four while ascending the class ladder. Bruce Lauer conditions the sharp sidewheeler for It’s All Good Racing LLC.

C Is For Cookie was the only horse to win in all three Weiss preliminaries for her group, and the sophomore pacing filly will be starting from the rail as she goes for the Weiss Grand Slam in her $50,000 Championship event during Monday’s 1 p.m. card. Program pages for…

Robinson as mayor: Wants to give back to community that helped him

Jeffrey L. Robinson  |  Muncie Star Press

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Star Press gave candidates for Muncie mayor the opportunity to write a commentary prior to Tuesday’s primary election. Jeffrey L. Robinson, president of the Muncie City Council, is unopposed in the Democratic Primary Tuesday and will face either incumbent Mayor Dan Ridenour or retired police officer Tony Cox in November. Here is his commentary.

Munsee Town. Muncietown. Magic City. Friendly City. Little Chicago. Muncie.

Home. 

I was born and raised here, and through the good and the bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, I love this city. 

Muncie is the people. And there is one thing that marks someone as a Munsonian: grit.  

I strive to embody the guts, determination, resiliency, and backbone of a Munsonian. I struggled in high school. I was just getting my career started when the Great Recession hit. I’ve had to regroup and start over a couple of times like many others. 

But just like a true Munsonian, and the city itself, I’ve persevered.  

I’ve fought the fight. I understand what people have been through. And the reason I’m here today, and willing to run for Mayor, is because of the people in this city who stuck their necks out to help me in my time of need. I’m ready to do the same for our citizens.

We all see the problems we face. There are challenges to be met and struggles to overcome. As your next Mayor I will lead the effort to prioritize lasting change for our city that addresses the real problems we face so that our younger citizens, and those yet born, can achieve a better quality of life.

I’m a community champion and advocate with a proven track record of working with everyone — community leaders, local businesses, and neighbors — to make decisions that put Muncie residents…
