WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) held a virtual roundtable with Tribal leaders from across Wisconsin to discuss their work combatting the opioid and fentanyl crisis and what more can be done to help Tribal communities save lives.

“Too many families know the pain of losing a loved one too soon to a drug overdose or poisoning. Our Tribal communities are often hit the hardest by the opioid epidemic, and I’m committed to ensuring they have the resources they need to save lives, help those suffering, and keep these deadly drugs out of our communities,” said Senator Baldwin. “I convened a group of Tribal leaders to discuss how federal support I helped deliver is making a difference, and how we can continue working together to combat this deadly epidemic.” 

Senator Baldwin was joined by leaders from the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa, Ho-Chunk Nation, Lac du Flambeau Tribe, Menominee Tribe, Sokaogon Chippewa Tribe, Oneida Nation, Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, and Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians.

In 2022, Wisconsin saw more than 1,350 opioid overdose or poisoning deaths, a 60 percent increase from five years earlier. American Indians or Alaska Natives had a higher drug overdose death rate than any other racial or ethnic group, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Increasingly, synthetic drugs like fentanyl are accelerating the rate of drug overdoses and poisonings. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), nearly 108,000 Americans died between August 2021 and August 2022 from drug poisonings, with 66 percent of those deaths involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl. In 2021, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services found synthetic opioids, particularly fentanyl, caused 91 percent of opioid deaths in Wisconsin.

“I would like to acknowledge and say Yaw^ko (thank you) to Senator…

Great Barrington — Alliance for a Viable Future (AVF) and the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center will present the second annual “Honoring Native America” event on Friday, October 6, to kick off Indigenous Peoples’ Day weekend in the Berkshires. Friday’s program consists of flute music performed by R. Carlos Nakai; stories from Mohican storyteller Shawn Stevens; and a talk by lawyer and peacemaker Cheryl Fairbanks, Esq. Executive Director of Alliance for a Viable Future Lev Natan will deliver opening remarks. The Mahaiwe describes the event as going “beyond performance into the interactive realm of ceremony and collective prayer.”

Born in 1946, R. Carlos Nakai is a Navajo and Ute flutist. He initially played brass instruments but switched to the Native American cedar flute due to an injury. Self-taught, Nakai released “Changes” in 1983 and signed with Canyon Records, producing over 37 discs for that label. His music blends traditional Native American melodies with original compositions. Nakai has collaborated with such musicians as composer Philip Glass, flutist Paul Horn, guitarist/luthier William Eaton, composer James DeMars, two-time-Grammy-winning producer Billy Williams, and a very long list of others. Nakai has received 11 Grammy nominations.

Although an ordained minister of the Universal Church of Light, Shawn Stevens does not answer to “shaman” or “medicine man.” Instead, he calls himself a helper. He is also a drummer, dancer, singer, flutist, historian, and especially a storyteller. Shawn is a member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, but his…

LOUDONVILLE — I finished a race on Sept. 9, and, for a brief moment, experienced the elation of being in the lead. Happiness, however, is fleeting — especially when your legs and body cannot physically keep up. 

I can see how being in the lead of a race is motivating, though. The urge to maintain the lead is strong. But urgency cannot be the only force at work. Preparation through training is what sets apart the podium finishers with the mere finishers.

Anyway. 

It was the Mohican Triathlon, organized by Ryan O’Dell’s Ohio Mountain Bike Championship series. It’s a reintroduction of sorts to the early days when triathlons were popular around here. Back when Shannon Kurek put on races at Pleasant Hill Lake and people doing the swimming portion had to be rescued. Oh, the good ole days. Back when race directors didn’t have to worry about their snowflake participants filing lawsuits or — worse! — leaving a bad review. 

The Mohican Triathlon, with its kayaking, mountain biking and running, shouldn’t be called a triathlon. That’s at least coming from a friend, who, albeit, didn’t know the first-ever recorded triathlon in Paris involved canoes. (And, really, the name is adequate.)

It is, I concede, an odd event. At least around here. Elsewhere, a quick Google search revealed, these types of events are common. There’s the Lost Loon Triathlon in Tennessee, Morgan’s Little Miami Triathlon, the Chippewa Triathlon in Minnesota, the West Penn Trail Triathlon … the list goes on. 

But the event’s strangeness, and, thus, appeal, isn’t its novelty. It’s the distances. Six miles of kayaking; 5.6 miles of mountain biking; 6.6 miles of trail running. As a mountain biker, my initial thought was “hm. Interesting. The least amount of miles is during the cycling portion of the race.” 

Nearly all other triathlons feature…
