Frances Levett hoped to raise a few hundred pounds from sponsors for the work at St John’s by wearing the radical haircut in church and around town but she has been amazed with the response.

She handed over a cheque to the parish priest Father Tom McGovern at the Thorpe End church to help pay for a £45,000 project, which has included the repainting of the sanctuary, using elements and motifs from the original Victorian design, which had been painted over in subsequent redecoration jobs.

Frances, who is chair of the Friends of St John’s, told the Melton Times: “I would like to thank everyone who has sponsored me.

The striking mohican sported by Frances Levett, which has raised £5,700 for St John’s Catholic Church in Melton EMN-220213-181153001

“When we started fundraising I said I would have a mohican done if the total reached £1,000.

“People were very generous and when I had the hairstyle done people seemed to like it.”

St John’s, which was built in 1842, was designed by a renowned architect, AWN Pugin, and it originally had intricate colourful artwork.

Unsympathetic alterations have spoiled the integrity of the building with the designs being painted over.

That look has now been restored with elements of that early design using clay-based paints.

No Comments on Scout group from Romsey to go camping for the first time in two years thanks to generous donation

SCOUTS from Romsey are looking forward to their first campaign trip in two years thanks to a generous donation from a kind-hearted Romsey group.

Romsey and Waterside Lions Club donated £300 to 10th Romsey Scout Group, which meets in Braishfield Road.

The money will allow some of the children to take their first camping trip following Covid restrictions

President of the Romsey and Waterside Lions Club Andrew Trowbridge said they were proud to help.

He said: “This will hopefully help fund their activities at the planned summer camp being held in Somerset.

“We wish the scouts well.”

At the camp, the youngsters will be able to take part in activities such as archery, climbing, zipwires and a trip to the Fleet Air Arm Museum.

For many, this will be the first summer camp that they’ve been able to attend as a result of previous Covid guidelines.

Romsey and Waterside Lions form part of Lions Club International, the world’s largest international voluntary service organisation, with 46,000 club worldwide.

The local voluntary group aims to improve the lives of those less fortunate within the community, through practical and financial support. Throughout the year the club can be seen running fundraising events and activities such as their monthly bookstall.

To get involved or find out more contact secretary@romseylions.co.uk or call 03449632463.

Mohegan says construction of Inspire Korea back underway

No Comments on Mohegan says construction of Inspire Korea back underway

US tribal casino operator Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment says it has recommenced construction of its South Korean integrated resort, Inspire Korea, after completing financing late last year.

As previously reported by Inside Asian Gaming, Mohegan confirmed the completion of financing in November with the full US$1.55 billion in aggregate funding comprising US$575 million in equity, a KRW1.04 trillion (US$890 million) finance loan from raised through a three-bank Korean consortium – KB Securities, NH Investment & Securities and Hana Financial Investment – and KRW100 billion (US$85.5 million) from the General Contractor, Hanwha Engineering & Construction Corp.

Subsequent to completion of the financing, Inside Asian Gaming interviewed Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment International President Bobby Soper in December 2021.

As part of its overnight results announcement for the three months to 31 December 2021, Mohegan said Hanwha Engineering & Construction Corp has “remobilized and recommenced construction work on site” including structural steelwork and below grade utility construction plus infrastructure related work such as utilities and roadways to the site. The procurement of major trades and long lead items is also in progress.

Mohegan had stated upon securing final financing in November that it is hoping to open Inspire Korea within the first half of 2023.

The development is slated to include three hotel towers, an arena, a foreigner-only casino, dining, retail, convention and entertainment options, a year-round indoor water dome experience, and an outdoor family park.

It will become the second integrated resort to open in Incheon after Paradise City – the latter being a joint venture partnership between Korea’s Paradise Co and Japanese gaming firm Sega Sammy Holdings.

The company said on a call with analysts overnight that the resumption of construction “demonstrates MGE’s dedication to growth and diversification.”

Berkshire Museum returns Sachem Konkapot’s wampum pouch and moccasins to Stockbridge-Munsee Community

No Comments on Berkshire Museum returns Sachem Konkapot’s wampum pouch and moccasins to Stockbridge-Munsee Community

PITTSFIELD — A pair of moccasins and a wampum pouch that have been in the Berkshire Museum’s collection for nearly 65 years are on their way home to the Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians in Wisconsin.

Upon being presented with the moccasins and wampum pouch during an official “transfer of custody” at the museum on Thursday, Bonnie Hartley, historic preservation officer for the Stockbridge-Munsees, carefully tucked cedar and tobacco leaves amongst the items.

“It’s actually kind of similar traditionally to what Sachem Konkapot would have in his wampum bag. He would have had wampum in there or medicine. I just used my own medicine bag to place tobacco and cedar. Cedar is for protection, tobacco is our way of offering prayers. When I take them back to our office, I’ll light sage and smudge them,” Hartley said, referring to the Stockbridge-Munsee office on the Williams College campus.

Taking a blend of tobacco and cedar out of her own medicine bag and tucking it into the items, Tribal Historic Preservation Manager for the Stockbridge Munsee Community Bonney Hartley, begins the process of cleansing, protecting, and welcoming back home a set of moccasins and a wampum pouch from her ancestors.

STEPHANIE ZOLLSHAN — THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE

The moccasins and wampum pouch are attributed to Pophnehonnuhwoh, a Muh-he-con-ne-ok sachem (chief), later known as Chief John Konkapot (a name taken after his Christian baptism in 1735). At some point, Konkapot gifted the items to Israel Dickinson, whose great-great-grandson, Allen Peck, of Pittsfield, donated them to the Berkshire Museum in 1958, said Jason Vivori, collections experience manager at the Berkshire Museum. The items are headed to the tribe’s own museum and library in Bowler, Wis., where their cultural items are preserved.

Permanent FanDuel Sportsbook to Open at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut on Thursday

No Comments on Permanent FanDuel Sportsbook to Open at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut on Thursday

After taking bets at the casino’s sports bar since the end of September, the permanent Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook in Connecticut will have a soft opening on Thursday — just in time for Sunday’s Super Bowl, a national sports betting holiday.

The first legal bet in Connecticut was placed on Sept. 29 at the Mohegan Sun’s Bow & Arrow Sports Bar by Gov. Ned Lamont. He bet $50 on the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA Playoffs at the temporary Mohegan Sun sportsbook. At the time it had four live betting windows and 50 self-service betting terminals.

The permanent sportsbook, which soft launches at 9 a.m. Thursday, will have multiple live teller windows and 39 betting kiosks, according to a news release. One of the kiosks will be on the all-new mezzanine level that has 22 luxury seats.

The new sportsbook, located in the old Race Book, will have 222 total seats and a 140-foot video wall in its 11,000 square feet, the release said.

“We’re beyond excited about this new venue which completely transforms Mohegan Sun’s old Race Book space into one of the largest and most dynamic FanDuel Sportsbooks in the United States,” Jeff Hamilton, president & general manager of Mohegan Sun, said in the release. “The all-new Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook, led by Sportsbook General Manager Brad Bryant, becomes the premier venue to wager on and catch a game while enjoying top-notch service inside an incredibly immersive atmosphere.

”We’re really thrilled to welcome sports fans out to this new venue, and we plan to have special appearances throughout the year.”

After the permanent sportsbook gets up and running this week, the casino and FanDuel will host a Grand Opening celebration on March 5, just in time for March Madness.
