Center dedicated in honor of Jane Clifton Ashford

There were accolades and some tears flowing during a June 4 ceremony to officially open the Jane Clifton Ashford Center at Camp Arrowhead, which has been under the auspices of the Episcopal Church of Delaware since it opened in 1954.

During a moving part of the ceremony, Nanticoke Indian tribe members Ragghi Rain and Herbert Jackson offered blessings for the new building and camp. The outdoor area has been named Prayer of Four Directions Terrace in honor of the Nanticoke Indian tribe and the Rev. Calhoun Wick, who has been a strong supporter of the camp for decades. In addition, a new garden has been named the Nanticoke Garden.

Camp Director Teri Valente said the camp was once Nanticoke land where they hunted and fished. The name of the camp came from the numerous arrowheads that have been found on the property.

The old dining hall dated back to when the camp opened. The new dining hall and retreat facility is an increase from the existing 5,800 square feet to 10,000 square feet and includes a new kitchen doubled in size, along with a grilling station, kitchen garden, rainwater collection tank, outdoor classroom, reception area, gathering and dining terrace, welcome plaza and butterfly garden. The existing bell tower, named in honor of longtime cook Delma Batson, has been moved to the terrace.

The center is sponsored by the family of Jane Clifton Ashford, including her husband, Ted, and sons Ted III and Tim. Clifton Ashford, who passed away in 2003 at the age of 66, was not only committed to the Episcopal Church and Camp Arrowhead, but other numerous educational, historic preservation and human services projects.

Steering committee members, who were charged with raising $5.5 million, said it’s a real miracle that the capital campaign goal was reached during the…

Increasing Food Security in a Mohican Tribal Community

Like many rural communities, the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, a Mohican Indian tribe in north central Wisconsin, wanted to increase its access to fresh produce, but faced multiple barriers. The tribe’s 500 acres of farmland was depleted of nutrients and organic matter after years of improper management by previous tenants.

Adapted from an article first published on the SARE website. 

 

Additionally, local gardeners and farmers lacked an understanding of the soil management practices that would improve fertility, such as taking and interpreting soil tests, making compost and using cover crops. Also, some community members were reluctant to grow produce because of the labor required to control weeds. Community members also lacked skills to extend growing seasons and safely preserve their harvests. 

Stockbridge-Munsee Community agriculture agent Kellie Zahn had a vision for addressing those needs but needed financial support to translate her vision into reality.

That’s where Sustainable Agriculture Research Education (SARE) came into the picture. Funded by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), SARE offers grants to farmers, ranchers, educators, researchers, graduate students and others for on-farm research, education, and professional and community development.

“One of the unique facets of SARE is that it offers grant opportunities to such a diverse applicant pool,” said NIFA National Program Leader Vance Owens. “SARE’s work is truly grassroots-driven and guided by regional SARE priorities. The beauty of a regionally directed program means that they can focus programs that are tailored to the needs of the communities and the region’s climate and environmental conditions.”

Actions Taken

Funded by two SARE grants, new farmers as well existing farmers received hands-on training to improve the tribe’s ability to grow fresh produce.

“We had a number of people reach out wanting to grow vegetables for the first time or for the first time in a…

Big day for Burke, Allard, and Bongiorno at The Downs

WILKES BARRE, PA – Harness racing trainer Ron Burke and driver Simon Allard made for a successful pairing on the Saturday afternoon card at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, winning the feature pace and also combining to post the quickest trotting time of the year.

Trainer Ron Burke

Ultimaroca (Rockin Image) has now won half of his eight seasonal starts after taking the $17,500 pacing feature in a lifetime best 1:49.4.

The gelding went to the quarter in :26.3, briefly yielded to Lets Roll then retook the top before the blistering :53.4 half, went on to a 1:21.4 three-quarters, then still had enough to roll home in :28 four lengths superior to first-over favorite Straight Up Cool.

Allard guided the winner, making only his second start in almost three months, for trainer Burke and the ownership of Burke Racing Stable LLC, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, and Phil Collura.

ULTIMAROCA REPLAY

The fastest trotting mile of 2022 at Pocono, 1:52.1, was turned in by the Explosive Matter four-year-old gelding Storm Is Raging, who is now three-for-three since coming under Burke’s care.

Allowed to escape at 12-1 while jumping several classes, sharp form trumped “class” here as Allard tucked third early, then rushed the developing diamondgaiter to the lead heading to the three-quarters and stormed home in 28.1 to leave heavy favorite Third Shift 3 1/2 lengths in his wake.

The vastly improved horse is co-owned by Carl Cocciolone, Mark Sosovicka, and Jack Piatt III.

STORM IS RAGING REPLAY

Storm Is Raging set his standard in an undercard event; the $17,500 featured trot went to Rich And Miserable, a winner of $621,589 who rallied from behind a fast pace to tally in 1:52.3, a half-length ahead of…
