A 13-year tradition at Mohegan Sun is 31 stories up.
UNCASVILLE, Conn. — High-limit gaming is nothing new at Mohegan Sun except when it happens on the roof of the casino; That happens at the end of each Summer for the “Over the Edge” challenge.
For 13 years, mild-mannered folks have channeled their inner superhero to rappel down the Sky Tower to raise money for the Special Olympics of Connecticut.
“It’s a sold-out event with well over 90 participants,” said Debbie Horne, the director of communications and marketing for the Special Olympics of Connecticut. “We’re hoping for over 100 thousand dollars, and I think we’re super close to our goal if we haven’t met it.”
“Over the Edge is a company that supports non-profits by going down high-rise buildings,” said Daryl Byrne, the site and safety supervisor for “Over the Edge.” and a retired firefighter. “Some people come with no experience at all, trying to hang their backsides off a building and be able to go down it – so it encourages them to take a step that maybe they’ve never taken before.”

As the day progressed, dozens and dozens of people finished descending the Mohegan Sun Sky Tower, all with a lifelong memory.
Al Gorski, a Connecticut State Police detective said after he came down the 270-foot tower, “It was fun, it was something exhilarating, and something different.”
“It doesn’t get old, it’s always something good and trying to do something good for somebody else,” said Byrne.

POCOPSON TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Federal and local law enforcement agencies have been searching for a murder convict who escaped a Chester County, Pennsylvania prison earlier this week.
Danelo Cavalcante has been on the run since Thursday. Here’s everything we know about the case:
The escape
Cavalcante escaped the Chester County Prison at 8:50 a.m. on August 31. He was seen walking on Wawaset Road in Pocopson Township around 9:40 a.m. the same day.
Recent sightings
Police have responded to well over 100 tips from neighbors in the area, including allegations of possible break-ins to residential homes in the vicinity within a one to two-mile radius of the prison.
Cavalcante may have been on the 1000 block of Ballintree Lane on Friday night. There was a report of an attempted burglary around 11:30 p.m. Police are not sure if it was Cavalcante.
Early the next morning, there was a confirmed sighting of Cavalcante on the 1800 block of Lenape Road in Pocopson Township. A resident’s Ring camera captured the convict walking through the neighborhood around 1:43 a.m.
He was observed wearing pants, a white T-shirt and white sneakers, and he had a backpack.
“His appearance has remained unchanged,” District Attorney Deb Ryan said during a Saturday press conference.
Convicted for stabbing former girlfriend
Cavalcante was convicted of first-degree murder on Aug. 16 for fatally stabbing his former girlfriend, Deborah Brandao, 38 times in front of her two young children in Schuylkill Township in 2021, officials said. At the time there was an active warrant for his arrest for an alleged murder that occurred in his native country of Brazil in 2017, according to Ryan.
A jury took just 15 minutes to convict Cavalcante.
He was sentenced to life in prison without parole last week for the fatal stabbing and was set to be transferred to a…

STOCKBRIDGE — The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, whose original homelands stretch through the Berkshires and beyond, is reclaiming several hundred acres of sacred land that Massachusetts is now giving back.
Quote
“We are trying to reclaim our ways of being, which was never based on money,” Shannon Holsey, president, Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans.
With a $2.26 million state grant, the tribe is poised to purchase 351 acres at the northern tip of Monument Mountain — a move that will restore tribal ties to this land once again after nearly 200 years of separation from it.
Tribal leaders say they are grateful to again hold the land within their culture and spirituality. It is a stewardship they say will fortify and heal the landscape amid a changing climate.
“It’s sacred to us, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to be able to return home and have a place to call our own,” said Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans President Shannon Holsey.
Nearly 100 town and city officials, residents and members of the Stockbridge-Munsee attended Wednesday’s official announcement of the purchase in the gym at Stockbridge Town Offices.
The grant is part of a total $31.5 million in Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Action Grants to 84 different towns and cities. The awards include about $3 million to 28 municipalities for pilot programs directed at struggling communities. The rest — $28.5 million — is for various projects in 56 cities in towns.

$2.26M awarded to Indigenous tribe

BOSTON—Pressured to leave what was their homeland in Stockbridge as settlers moved west and divvied up land in the late 1700s, the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans was awarded more than $2 million from the state Wednesday to reclaim 351 acres of their native land and implement indigenous conservation and restoration methods to improve climate change resilience, the Healey administration announced.
The $2.26 million Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) action grant will help the federally-recognized tribe, which is now based in Wisconsin, purchase land near Monument Mountain in the Berkshires, the tribe said. The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans and the Hassanamisco Nipmuc Band, which was awarded $95,000 to update climate change resilience plans, are the first tribes to be awarded grants through the popular state program since the Legislature expanded eligibility last year.
“As we work to address the climate crisis, we have an opportunity to right historical wrongs,” Gov. Maura Healey said. “This investment to the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans demonstrates our administration’s commitment to building strong relationships with Indigenous communities and supporting their efforts in mitigating the impacts of climate change. We are proud to be a part of this significant first step of welcoming the Tribe back to their homeland.”
The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans were subject to “forced exile by European colonists and westward migration beginning in 1783,” the tribe said. Tribe members first moved from Stockbridge to Oneida tribal lands in western New York, where they formed a community known as New Stockbridge. They then moved briefly to the White River Valley in Indiana before settling in Wisconsin, according to the tribe’s website.
“We are creating a paradigm shift in how society invests in tribal nations by grounding an investment strategy in Indigenous systems thinking, recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and our…
