Experience the wonders of Lenapehoking~Watershed: a place for water, art and culture

Featuring sculptures, community gatherings, performances, and an innovative role-play card game that prompts outdoor fun, Lenapehoking~Watershed: a place for water, art and culture offers multiple opportunities for the public to relax, be inspired, play, and connect at the 23 outdoor nature spaces that form the Alliance for Watershed Education of the Delaware River (AWE).

Seattle-based artist Sarah Kavage has been immersed in the fields, wetlands and woods of the Delaware watershedregion, building Water Spirit, an array of site-responsive sculpture installations created by using natural materials found in the local landscape. Water Spirit is supported by collaborations with community artists and thoughtful events rooted, literally and figuratively, in the green spaces and waterways known as Lenapehoking. “For me, the physical object is only a small part of what art is about. It is the place, its history, and human interactions that truly create it,” says Kavage.

Structures in Kavage’s Water Spirit series made from locally-harvested invasive phragmites reeds have cropped up around the watershed, including Portal at Gateway Park in Camden, NJ, Migration at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Eastwick/Southwest Philadelphia PA, and Al Mudhif – A Confluence at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education in Roxborough/Northwest Philadelphia. All installations are built with help from community members who support the creative process and once complete, serve as focal points for special events and memorable photo opportunities. Fifteen installations will be built throughout the watershed to complete the Water Spirit project. Some are documented in this video.

A new state park incorporates a pre-Jamestown outlook in its design

Before there was Machicomoco State Park, there was Cappahosic.

In fact, since the park sits on what is likely the same land, Martin Gallivan wanted Virginia’s newest state park near Gloucester to bear the name.

“Cappahosic was a fairly sizeable community for an Algonquian town,” Gallivan said. But state park officials pointed out that there is an existing, modern community located upstream, also called Cappahosic. To avoid confusion, the park was dubbed with the Algonquian word meaning ‘special meeting place.’”

A graphic that says Algonquin primer: Wingapo (Welcome), Cheipsin (Land), Mattapanient (Stopping place on a path), Cauwaih (Oyster), Rassoum (Wind), Aquointan (Canoe)Gallivan, professor and chair of William & Mary’s Department of Anthropology, says he’s perfectly happy with the Machicomoco name. He’s even happier with how the park turned out, as he was a consultant in the design.

“It’s a really innovative design,” Gallivan said. “The space is different than any other state park you’ve been in. It’s different than any other national park you’ve been in. It subtly and creatively immerses you in a Native landscape in a way that I don’t think any other place around here does.”

Gallivan is the author of The Powhatan Landscape: An Archaeological History of the Algonquian Chesapeake, and has conducted numerous archaeological examinations of the riverine Native communities, of which Cappahosic was just one. He said Cappahosic was one of the minor Powhatan communities.

“This wasn’t a big town,” he…

Robbie Williams has ‘hair life crisis’ with a mohican instead of transplant

Robbie Williams has shunned the idea of having a second hair transplant and has returned to a style he first adopted 23 years ago

He’s had a “thatch”, and has tried artificial hair powder.

But now Robbie Williams is having a “hair life crisis” he is steering himself away from a second hair transplant. Instead it’s become the last resort of the Mohican.

The former Take That star first opted for the single striped style back in 1998 when he was just 24 – and has revived the look behind wife Ayda Field’s back.

Which is fortunate, as she reckons he looks like Pepe Le Pew…

The 47-year-old explains: “I’m losing my hair, I’m thinning and I thought instead of fighting against it I should just lean into it.

“The first step was doing a number one all over and to see how that looked. I thought that was OK.

“Then I thought while Ayda was out, I’d just shave a Mohican. This is what has happened.”

Last year, he tried hair filling powder, but said he was considering going under the knife again.

Robbie had his first hair transplant in 2013, which he admits he didn’t really need.

“I’ve lived in LA for a long time and they say, ‘If you sit in a barber’s shop long enough you’ll get a hair cut,’” he said at the time.

“Well, if you live in Los Angeles long enough you’ll get some surgery.”

Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco to appear at Mohegan Sun Arena on Dec. 5

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — Sebastian Maniscalco will bring his “Nobody Does This Tour” to the ASM Global managed Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Dec. 5, it was announced Monday.

Touted as “the hottest comic in America,” by The New York Times, Maniscalco, has celebrated heights only a few comedians ever achieve.

That blockbuster success coupled with Netflix original comedy specials and a starring role alongside Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci in Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-nominated The Irishman, it’s no surprise that both Pollstar and Billboard have honored the stand-up with their top touring awards.
