Ribbon Cut on Williamstown’s Mohican Trail

image descriptionLocal and state officials cut the ribbon on the Mohican Trail in Williamstown on Thursday morning.image descriptionOne of the new signs marks the trail head near the corner of Syndicate Road and North Street (U.S. Route 7).image descriptionThe Western New England Greenway gave Williamstown two signs to designate its new multimodal trail as part of a network advocates envision from Canada to Connecticut.

Berkshire Bike Path Council President Margie Cohen speaks at Thursday’s ceremony.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — At the ribbon cutting for the new Mohican Trail on Thursday morning, the president of the Berkshire Bike Path Council remembered a time when not everyone believed such paths could be built.

 

“Twenty-three years ago, a small chorus of people started singing ‘Bike path, bike path, bike path,’ and everybody thought we were nuts … including Mayor Barrett,” Margie Cohen said, nodding to now state Rep. John Barrett III, one of several state and local dignitaries on hand for the ceremony.

 

“Twenty-three years later, the Berkshire Bike Path Council has over 400 members singing, loudly, ‘Bike path, bike path, bike path.’ Included in that chorus is all of our state and local officials and so many partners. … All the voices are coming together to encourage a path from Vermont to Connecticut.”

 

The 2.4-mile leg of that larger project was completed earlier this year by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, which turned over ownership of the trail from Syndicate Road to the Spruces Park to the Town of Williamstown.

 

Thursday’s ceremony was an opportunity for MassDOT officials and local representatives, along with community activists like Cohen, to celebrate the trail and recognize those who made it happen.

Kennett Library honors Lenape during grand opening celebration

KENNETT SQUARE — On a Sunday with blue skies and bright sunshine, people from across Pennsylvania united with regional supporters and dedicated locals to witness a moment in his and her story — the people’s story.

The Kennett Library, an all-new $22 million facility, held its grand opening celebration on August 27. Approximately a thousand people attended the event which spanned several hours.

The festivities began with a ceremonial book pass to the new Kennett Library at 320 E. State St. from the former venue 216 E. State St. on August 27 in Kennett Square. An estimated 100 people took part, passing books down the street with plenty of smiles and laughter along the way.

As the book pass procession continued, the heritage of the Lenape people took center stage with a ceremonial vocal and drum performance by Chief Chuck Gentlemoon DeMund of Stroudsburg, Monroe County.

He is the chief of ceremonies of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania.

During the ceremonial performance, DeMund called on the Creator 12 times to complete a sacred blessing of the Kennett Library.

Pennsylvania has never acknowledged the Lenape as this land’s indigenous people.

UPUA voted Wednesday to support the recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Penn State’s calendar

The University Park Undergraduate Association voted by majority to support the recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Penn State’s calendar and a land acknowledgement statement being put in the university syllabi.

Penn State’s campuses are located on the original homelands of the Erie, Haudenosaunee (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk and Tuscarora), Lenape (Delaware Nation, Delaware Tribe, Stockbridge-Munsee), Monongahela, Shawnee (Absentee, Eastern and Oklahoma), Susquehannock and Wahzhazhe (Osage) Nations.

“Omitting Indigenous Peoples’ Day as a recognized holiday on the Pennsylvania State University Holiday Calendar means that these students are being omitted from the Penn State Community, as well,” according to the resolution.

The UPUA resolution asked the university registrar to recognize Oct. 9, 2023 as Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

The resolution also asked the Faculty Senate to include the land acknowledgement in the university’s syllabi and excuse students from missed classes due to cultural and religious days and events, including Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Three members of the executive board of the Indigenous Peoples’ Student Association brought this issue to the attention of the UPUA and spoke at Wednesday’s meeting.

“This is just the beginning, we have so much more to fix and add on to this,” Kayla Cwalina, a member of the Lakota nation, said.

Cwalina, a third-year studying criminology and education in rehabilitation and human services, said the resolution is “a step in the right direction” to get “some sort of semblance of our nations, heritage, and culture back.”

Adriana Peterson, a member of the Navajo and Menominee nations, said the university should do what it can.

“All you can do is reconcile and, going forward, figure out how you are going to fix this problem that you have created,” Peterson, a second-year studying media studies, said.

Timothy Benally, a member of the Navajo nation, said Indigenous People are still here and highlighted the importance of the land acknowledgement statement.

“It shouldn’t…

Convicted murderer who escaped Pennsylvania prison spotted on surveillance video

POCOPSON TWP., Penn. — The manhunt continues for a convicted murderer who escaped the Chester County Prison in Pocopson Township, Pennsylvania.

Federal and local law enforcement have been searching for 34-year-old Danelo Cavalcante since his 8:50 a.m. escape on Thursday.

He was recently spotted around 1:43 a.m. Saturday on surveillance video on the 1800 block of Lenape Road in Pocopson Township. It’s about 1.5 miles from the prison.

He was observed wearing pants, a white T-shirt and white sneakers, and he had a backpack.

Authorities believe that he’s been wearing prison-issued pants and prison-issued shorts underneath when he escaped on August 31. They do not know at this time where he obtained the backpack.

“His appearance has remained unchanged,” District Attorney Deb Ryan said during a Saturday press conference.

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.

Around 11:30 p.m. Friday, one resident reported an attempted burglary on the 1000 block of Ballintree Lane in Pocopson Township. It’s still unclear if it was Cavalcante.

“We are requesting that residents in the area of Pocopson Township remain inside. Lock your doors, lock your cars. He is still considered an extremely dangerous individual. There is evidence to suggest that he’s still in that local residence. We do not believe he has gotten more than one to two miles away from the prison,” said Ryan.

“We believe we are getting closer to locating the suspect at this time, and we are narrowing the scope of our search,” Ryan added.

Convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante escaped the Chester County Prison in Pocopson Township, Pennsylvania.

Convicted for stabbing former girlfriend

Cavalcante was convicted of first-degree murder on Aug. 16 for fatally stabbing his former girlfriend, Deborah Brandao, 38…
