This venue has also finished the month of March as the top ranked entertainment venue for its size in Canada as well as #10 worldwide for its size. Mohegan’s flagship property, Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, is also excited to announce that Mohegan Sun Arena is the #1 ranked Arena for its size in the United States, and ranked #2 worldwide for its size, according to Pollstar Magazine.

No Comments on Local Event: Foodways of the Lenapehocking

A Testimony from Haverford Friends Meeting

Please join Haverford Friends in Supporting

A spiritually lead presentation by our own William Woys Weaver

The Foodways of the Lenapehocking

This Saturday, April 29th , 1PM

(With child centered activities in the forum room)

The Foodways of Lenapehocking: Garden Plants and Food Customs

This Power Point presentation by well-known author Dr. William Woys Weaver will explore the story of The Roughwood Seed Collection and how it acquired what is now considered the largest collection of Eastern Woodland seeds in private hands. Several members of Haverford Meeting, such as the late Indian activist Theodore Hetzel, who was a long-time member, helped to build this priceless cultural archive. A sub-theme of the lecture will be the relationship between Quakers and saving seeds from indigenous people.

Refreshments will be served following the lecture and will include Lenape Psindamocan Bread (parched sweet corn bread) containing dried cranberries in reference to an ancient Lenape creation story. In honor of the mutual respect between William Penn and the Lenape peoples, the Psindamocan Bread will be served on a great pewter charger given by William Penn as a wedding gift to Dr. Weaver’s ancestor Benjamin Hickman (1677-1742) and Ann Buffington who were married at Concord Friends Meeting on April 9, 1701. Ann Buffington was the daughter of Richard Buffington (1655-1747), Proprietor of New Jersey and friend of William Penn.

“Our message today is twofold:

First, Quakers against all odds managed to preserve some of this Native American heritage as an unspoken token of respect for William Penn’s message of peace and tolerance.

Secondly, the message of wampum: the mutual love and respect of cultures living side by side. The word for wampum (kekok)translates in the Delaware language: I give this from my heart. This is my bond…

No Comments on Mona Ward returns to the ring on April 27 at Mohegan Sun

Boxing’s newest female phenomenon Mona Ward from St. Louis Missouri is catching the World by storm by her performance in the Team Combat League. Currently Ward is 1-0 in the league. Ward made her debut April 6 against New York.

Ward will go against Los Angeles on April 27 from the Mohegan Sun Casino.

Discussing the fight, Ward stated: I was 5 years old when I first hit my first punching bag”. Ward didn’t start competing until she was 13 years old.

“I got into boxing due to me living down the street from Cherokee boxing in St. Louis . My little brother use to go there for basketball, so I decided to follow him, and I loved it. Mona Ward has over 280 amateur fights.

“My style of boxing is a little like Garry Russell but more like Loma. I look up to Seniesa Estrada. I have a Clarissa shields attitude. My goal in boxing is to be bantamweight champion. I want 5 belts in 5 different weight classes is my ultimate goal”.

In early February Ward went down to Atlanta where they were having the Team Combat League tryouts.

“It was a dream come true for me being picked out of hundreds to be in the Team Combat League. I feel like the league will help me over come my fear of believing I can, but instilling in me I must, and I will. This has been a big change for me. I had to leave my family and my children to train and devote the next 10 weeks to the League.”

TCL is an organization of firsts. They are the world’s only boxing league with a franchise team format. They are the only major sports league to feature active members of both genders on the same team….

No Comments on VFW Post 9943 honors past commanders and presidents

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States at Mohican Post 9943 held a banquet to honor past presidents and commanders who have served throughout the long history of the organization on Sunday afternoon.

The vision of the VFW Post 9943 is to bring needed services, information and assistance to veterans and service members, their families, and communities.

There have been 38 past commanders and 42 past presidents throughout the history of Post 9943. .

The five past commanders who were present Sunday afternoon were Bill Myers, the current Post 9943 commander, Daniel Reed (1967-68), John Kemplin (1998-99), Billy Walker (2003-04) and Murray Konves (2018-22).

Seven of the past presidents were in attendance, that included current president Susan Hale, along with Ginny Fisher (1998-99), Laura Walker (2002-04), Joyce Sparks (2006-07, 2008-11, 2015-20), Rita Scheurer (2007-08, 2013-15), Margaret Strong (2011-13), Kim Reed (2020-21) and Dawn Tackett (2020-21).

Two Men’s Auxiliary members were present in Gearold Smith (2006-07) and Brad Strong (2010-13).

The keynote speaker was Myers himself, who spoke on learning from the past and applying it to today.

“Never forget the past,” Myers said in the beginning of his talk.

Past commander Billy Walker and past president Joyce Sparks spoke on what this occasion means to them to be able to gather with former presidents and commanders.

“I was district commander for two years. I served in Vietnam in 1970-71 and I was in the military eight years before I got out,” said Walker. “This place has a lot of history and good people. It’s an honor to be here with these people. It made me a better man than I used to be.”

“This is something we used to do every year. It kind of got pushed to the side and because of Covid we were unable to pick up a lot of stuff,” said Sparks. “Bill suggested…
