2 Mohican TrailFire in a garage at 2 Mohican TrailHouse fire: On July 10, a Mohican Trail house caught fire. Firefighters arrived and observed smoke pushing out from second floor eaves, with the main body of the fire appearing to be located in the garage. Police notified the homeowner who said he was out of town with his family, and no one was in the house. Firefighters used a hose line to attack the fire with water. They forced open the front door and found no one inside. They searched the house for extension and found a second-floor room above the garage to be affected by the fire. A second hose line was stretched for use fighting the fire in this area. Volunteer firefighters were dispatched for help. Greenville and Hartsdale fire departments also assisted until the fire was out. The fire investigator noted that the house was under construction, and the garage seemed to be the place where work materials were being stored. The cause of the fire could not be specifically determined. A contractor arrived on scene to board up the house during the homeowner’s absence.

Here are some of the top stories we’re following for Tuesday, July 13, 2021.

Damian Giletto, Wochit

He helped bring hope to those in Delaware in need of medical care. 

Dr. Jose Castro Pamintuan, who died last month, leaves a legacy in which he provided new health care opportunities to the people of Kent and Sussex counties, including co-founding Dover’s Hope Medical Clinic. 

“Dr. Pamintuan was one of the primary care volunteer physicians at the Hope Clinic for over 10 years,” said Dr. Vicenta P. G. Marquez, a co-founder of the Hope Medical Clinic. “He was very kind, compassionate and an excellent clinician.”

Though Pamintuan was a cardiologist by training, Marquez said he was a general practitioner at Hope because of their clientele.

“He treated all patients the same way as if they were his private patients,” she said. “Also, he genuinely catered to each patient trying to understand the whole patient – soul, mind and body.”

Born in the Philippines to a school teacher and homemaker, both of whom were also farmers, Pamintuan excelled at San Fernando High School where his obituary said he earned a seat at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine. 

After receiving his medical degree in 1961, he traveled to the United States to further his education, completing a postdoctoral fellowship in…

Mohegan Gaming, FanDuel announce sports-betting, online gaming partnership

Jul. 7—MOHEGAN — Partners Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment and FanDuel Group announced Wednesday they’re poised to roll out retail and online sports betting, online gaming and daily fantasy sports in Connecticut this fall, “pending all licensing and regulatory approvals.”

The partnership will enable bettors throughout the state to place wagers on professional football, basketball, baseball, hockey and other sports via FanDuel, which also will provide online casino gaming under the Mohegan Sun brand and operate daily fantasy sports in Connecticut.

“We’re excited to work with FanDuel, one of the leading sports-tech entertainment companies in the U.S., to bring the brand’s innovative sports betting and iGaming solutions to Mohegan Sun Connecticut,” Ray Pineault, MGE’s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. “Our partnership is a priority for Mohegan Digital, as we look to grow and enhance our casino, sportsbook and online operations in Connecticut — and beyond.”

Mohegan Sun and FanDuel expect to open a temporary sportsbook location at the casino in September and anticipate opening a permanent sportsbook there this winter. The temporary location will feature four live betting windows and 16 self-service betting terminals.

The sportsbook at Mohegan Sun has the potential to become the largest FanDuel sportsbook in the United States, according to Amy Howe, president of FanDuel Group.

“When we combine the retail sports betting experience with the opportunity for online sports betting and iGaming, Connecticut is going to be a key state for us as we look towards the start of football season,” Howe said.

Sports betting, online gaming and daily fantasy sports were authorized in Connecticut by legislation Gov. Ned Lamont signed into law in May. The law granted the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes the right to offer the new gaming options at their respective gaming facilities — Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort Casino — as well as…

UCP’s Employment Program Lands Jobs for 2 Interns at Mohegan Sun

United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Eastern CT held its graduation ceremony in June for their Project SEARCH graduates who had completed internships this year at the Mohegan Sun. The 2021 graduates are DaWayne Allen, Samantha Cournoyer and Christopher Lee Meola.

Nationally, statistics report that 75% of graduates are hired, often by the businesses that hosted the Project SEARCH Program, which is a national school to work program. Chris and Sam have already been offered and accepted jobs at Mohegan Sun. Samantha will be working in Environmental Services and Chris was hired by Eurest Food Services.

During a beautiful outdoor graduation ceremony at the Sun, where 3 graduates received diplomas, Project SEARCH graduate Chris Lee Meola, shared words of wisdom for future interns in this short video… “To do your best work”.

UCP’s employment programs offer total immersion in the workplace for real-life work experience to help young adults with physical, developmental and intellectual disabilities gain marketable job skills. UCP’s Project SEARCH program at the Mohegan Sun serves two populations: High school students who are on an Individual Education Program (IEP) and entering their last year of high school eligibility; and young adults with disabilities who have DDS support who are between the ages of 18 and 35.

Jennifer Keatley, Executive Director of UCP of Eastern CT, explained what sets UCP’s employment programs apart, “They are different from traditional transition programs — we are completely focused on outcomes tied to the following goals: to help students transitioning from school to work and young adults gain competitive employment in year-round/non-seasonal jobs with prevailing wages.”

This timely program helps fill the gap for the growing problem of worker shortages for CT’s businesses, because these interns are trained and more than ready, willing and able to fill…

Berkshire groups to share $150K for programs on Stockbridge-Munsee history

Nearly $150,000 in federal grants, including a match by six Berkshire County nonprofit organizations, will fund interpretive programs and projects exploring the history and heritage of the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Tribe. The indigenous community’s original 18th century homelands were in South Berkshire, northwest Connecticut and the Upper Hudson Valley of New York state.

The funds appropriated by Congress, based on National Park Service recommendations, were awarded by Housatonic Heritage, which has offices in Stockbridge and in Salisbury, Conn., as well as an Oral History Center at Berkshire Community College in Pittsfield.

The projects supported by the grants, combined with funds raised by the local institutions on a minimum one-to-one match, include:

• Berkshire Historical Society, $1,875, for Trails and Tales at Arrowhead. The Interpretive walking trail focuses on Mohican history in the area and includes a Zoom presentation by the Stockbridge-Munsee Community Director of Historic Preservation Bonney Hartley.

• Berkshire Museum, $35,000, for Mo-he-con-e-ok: The People of the Waters that Never Stand Still, a major exhibition being curated by a Stockbridge-Munsee Community historian.

• Bidwell House Museum, Monterey, $7,300, for expanded programs related to its Native American Interpretive Trail, in conjunction with the Berkshire Museum exhibition.

• Hancock Shaker Village, $1,400, for The Shakers and Indigenous People: An interpretive signage project.

• Southern Berkshire Regional School District, $1,000 for a summer educational film documentary based on travel to Bowler, Wis., current home of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, and to various sites of significance after the Mohican-Munsee removal from their original homelands.

• Stockbridge Library Museum and Archives, $11,000, for Deeds of Our Past: The Stockbridge Indians and Colonial Bonds. The program acknowledges the Stockbridge-Munsee Community through artifacts and archival documents.

The projects are to be completed by June 30, 2022, said Dan Bolognani, executive director of Housatonic Heritage. With fundraising by the local nonprofits…

Stockbridge archaeological dig involves community, aims to correct historical interpretation

STOCKBRIDGEDIG-3.jpg

Maia Sheppard, the daughter of a Williams College professor, sifts a shovelful of dirt in search of artifacts in Stockbridge on July 6. The Mohican Tribal Historic Preservation Office is conducting archaeological digs at “Indiantown” — now known as Stockbridge — to try and locate the 1739 meetinghouse site and at the site of the ox roast that was held in the town at the end of the Revolutionary War. 

BEN GARVER — THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE

STOCKBRIDGE — Volunteers in hiking boots and long pants dig holes marked by little orange flags among the 20th century war memorials on Main Street.

Bending over these rectangular holes, called “units,” archaeologists search the soil for evidence of the 1739 meetinghouse, an essential piece of Stockbridge’s history, which is neither publicly acknowledged in this field — aside from a small plaque on the chime tower — nor anywhere else in town.

“It’s been a longtime goal to document sites important to Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation and raise visibility of our history here, which has largely been erased in the town,” said Bonney Hartley, tribal historic preservation manager for the nation. “The town was founded for our tribe, but you don’t see that anywhere when you’re here.”

The archaeological excavation, which began Tuesday and continues this week, aims to prove the existence of the meetinghouse, and ultimately include it in the National Register of Historic Places. As of Thursday, Ann Morton, the primary investigator, said they the team had found promising, but not definitive, evidence of the meetinghouse. This evidence includes subtle soil discolorations that suggest a building’s foundations from the right time period — but not the meetinghouse itself — and wrought-iron nails.

Unlike most of the Tribal Historic Preservation Office’s projects, this one is mostly educational. It’s not to save…

Fairfield resident and brother receive Carnegie Medal for act of extraordinary heroism

The Carnegie Medal is North America’s highest honor for civilian heroism, risking their lives for others in peril.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. —

In December 2019, Jonathan Goldfarb and Matthew Goldfarb risked their lives to save a stranger. Now, the two men are being recognized for their outstanding heroism. 

The afternoon of December 22, 2019, the Fairfield Emergency Communications Center received a 911 phone call. A man had attempted to rescue his dog and was in distress in the waters of Lake Mohegan. 

The male had been walking his dog with his girlfriend when the dog ran onto the ice and fell into the water. The male then ran into the Lake to rescue the dog, but he became submerged multiple times and was having difficulty getting back to shore due to the extreme cold. 

In open water, about 100 feet from shore, he and his dog struggled to stay above the water. 

The man’s girlfriend began to yell for help and entered the water, attempting to assist him.  

At this moment, Jonathan Goldfarb, a physical therapist who resides in Fairfield, and his brother Matthew Goldfarb, a teacher who was visiting his brother from Howell, New Jersey were walking with family in the area and heard the cries for help.  

They ran to the area and found the man in distress in the water.  

The Goldfarbs both entered the water without hesitation, knowing their own safety and lives were at risk.

RELATED: 40 people rescued by Coast Guard in Gloucester, Mass.

They grasped the man and his dog and were able to pull them to safety onto dry land.  

Police reported that the man had been in the freezing water, submerged at times, for about 10 minutes. The brothers were only in the water for four. 

Fairfield Police and Fire Department personnel responded and located the rescued man, who was exhibiting signs of severe hypothermia. He was then transported to an…
