HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — The Hackettstown field hockey team is off to a solid start and hopes to do as well in the postseason as it has the last several years.

“We have been playing pretty well so far this year,” said Rachael Gorski, who is in her third year as head coach after being an assistant coach for three years. “We are 3-3 right now with losses to strong teams: Warren Hills, Lenape Valley, and Vernon.”

Hackettstown earned the fourth seed in the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament and earned a first-round bye. The team will take on No. 13 Vernon in the second round on Oct. 2. The Tigers last won the championship in 2018.

The team’s captains, senior Amy Wood and junior Ali Cetani; goalie Emily Newton; and sophomore forwards Kiara Koeller and Skyler Sciaretta are leading the team.

“Our captains are competent leaders, and our goalie has also been emerging as a leader in the back,” Gorski said. “Kiara Koeller and Skyler Sciaretta lead by example during practice and on the field.”

The Tigers’ first victory came over Newton, 2-1, on Sept. 11.

“Against Newton, Skyler Sciaretta returned from an injury late in regulation―which left her with a black eye―to score the game-winning goal in overtime,” Gorski said.

Koeller scored the team’s other goal, while Newton made 10 saves.

The Tigers defeated High Point, 2-1, on Sept. 18 and Wallkill Valley, 1-0, on Sept. 20.

Sciaretta and Koeller also scored the team’s goals against High Point. Newton made six saves. Emma Patton scored the team’s only goal against Wallkill Valley. Newton again made six saves in the victory.

Gorski said the Tigers are a young team.

“We are a young team with only three seniors,” she said. “This is also the first year in our program that we have been…

Daughters of the American Revolution, DAR, at the memorial for Chief Nimhan at Van Cortlandt Park

Westchester organizations, community members join ceremony to remember lost fight for tribal sovereignty

By Zach Youngerman

How do we honor and understand the sacrifice of those killed? That was the question for the crowd gathered on August 31st at a Van Cortlandt Park monument to honor Wappinger and Mahican warriors killed by British soldiers in the American Revolution.

The event was organized by the Daughters of the Revolution (DAR), the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), the Kingsbridge Historical Society and “local community members who wish for the historical legacy of Chief Daniel Nimham to be preserved,” according to the event program. Representatives from the Town of Fishkill and the New York City Parks Department also spoke.

The ceremony mixed American military rituals with Native rites, including a sage smudging, a folding of the U.S. flag, and a dedication with stones from across the former Wappinger homeland. The DAR led the Pledge of Allegiance; Dr. Janice Turner of the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware spoke a Lenape invocation.

That inclusivity would not have accompanied the original dedication of the monument. It was the DAR – not the descendants of the Native soldiers – who had the power in 1906 to place a privately-funded monument in a New York City park. Native Americans hadn’t even been granted U.S. citizenship yet. It is only recently that they have felt safe to “be out,” shared Oleana…

The Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas has officially announced their 2022 LMDA International Conference which will be held both online and in Philadelphia, PA U.S.A. on the traditional lands of the Lenni-Lenape from July 20-24, 2022.

All theater artists, educators, and students are invited to attend. An initial information packet with a tentative schedule, travel details, and more is now available at: https://lmda.org/2022-conference

LMDA President Bryan Moore says, “For over 35 years, LMDA has grown to become a multi-country service organization for artists working as dramaturgs and in many associated fields in the performing arts and beyond. Our most recent, multi-conference theme of ‘Crossing Borders’ encouraged dramaturgs to meet and learn from colleagues from different cultures and regions to develop skills and expand the field. Over the past couple years, LMDA reached more members and expanded collaborations globally through its first digital conference (2020), its first conference in Latin America (2021), and through initiatives like Dramaturging the Phoenix and the International Dramaturgy Lab. We are excited to continue LMDA’s mission with this ground-breaking gathering in Philadelphia, as we further explore the many variations and future potential of dramaturgy and theatre performance.”

Focused on “Performance Outside the Proscenium,” LMDA’s Philadelphia Conference will ignite a global conversation about the impact, purpose, process, and evolution of work outside of the traditional “theater” space, including digital theatre, touring shows, cabaret, circus, online performance, outdoor theater, site specific work, burlesque, museum performance, installation performance, and more.

Conference Chair Jacqueline Goldfinger says, “Philadelphia is known around the world as a hub of new work, especially new work that utilizes found spaces and unique ways of connecting with our audiences. The established companies who work in unique spaces – like Pig Iron, rainpan43, The…
