Irv Oslin: Winter canoe tripping — finding aid and comfort along the river

No Comments on Irv Oslin: Winter canoe tripping — finding aid and comfort along the river

An ominous sign welcomes us to our campsite on the Mohican River. It’s been said that, in my youth, I bore a striking resemblance to the banjo player in the movie “Deliverance.”

Liverwurst sandwiches, a frozen wetsuit and gas station coffee — it was everything a winter canoe trip should be. And more.

And why not? It started off with a good omen — Nathan Shipley granted us permission to park in Mother Teresa’s spot.

Previous column: Winter camping — Chilling thoughts on keeping warm inside your tent

I had contacted him before the three-day trip to get permission to put in at his place — Shipley’s Canoe Livery & Tavern in Loudonville. Curtis Casto, my co-conspirator for this trip, and I decided we’d leave my truck there. We planned to take out three days later at the confluence of the Mohican and Kokosing rivers.

When I contacted Nathan to get permission, I asked where I should leave my truck.

“You can park anywhere on the other side of the dumpster,” he responded in a text message. “There is a sign that says ‘Mother Teresa Parking’ I put up for Teresa so that in the summer when we’re open, she always has a spot. If you park there that would be fine too.”

We felt honored and blessed. With liverwurst sandwiches and gas station coffee awaiting us downstream, how could we go wrong?

Promises of sandwiches and coffee

As canoe trips go, this one was tightly scripted. We arranged to camp at friends’ properties along the way. That’s where the promises of…

Fans flock to Loudonville for annual Mohican Winterfest

No Comments on Fans flock to Loudonville for annual Mohican Winterfest

Lots of sun, no snow or rain to dampen annual festival

LOUDONVILLE — Mike Bryant and Pam Bebout were looking for something to do Saturday.

They had planned to take in wrestling at the J.C. Gorman Invitational, held at Mansfield Senior High School, but spectators were not allowed because of precautions related to COVID-19.

The Lexington couple found a terrific alternative, the Mohican Winterfest in Loudonville.

New activities: Loudonville’s upcoming Mohican Winterfest to feature new activities

Bryant and Bebout, who have been together for 29 years, had never been there before. They, like most people, were captivated by the ice carving demonstrations by Elegant Ice Creations, based in Broadview Heights.

“This is awesome,” Bryant said as George Niemoeller put the finishing touches on a Yoda sculpture. “These guys are artists.”

Bebout agreed.

“The detail that you can get out of a piece of ice is amazing,” she said.

Cubicle Hub: Two in one: New shared workspace and shipping center opens in Ashland

Niemoeller was the first of three artists to carve a sculpture. Demonstrations took place at the top of each hour from 11 a.m-4 p.m.

“I’m obviously the sci-fi nerd of the group,” Niemoeller said of his Yoda creation.

He started with a 300-pound block of ice, getting it down to 150 to 175 pounds for the finished product.

Ice sculptor explains tools of the trade

Niemoeller told the crowd that ice sculptures differ from regular sculptures because they will not last forever. Sun, wind and rain are all factors.

In recent years, the Mohican Winterfest has often had to deal with warmer-than-normal temperatures that have melted many of the sculptures.

That was not an issue on a cloudless Saturday morning with temperatures in the 20s.

Because of the ideal conditions, many people made the downtown a bustling scene. Diners at the Black Fork Bistro were looking at a 45-minute wait for a…

Peter Wright, a darts player, takes two hours to do his mohawk, which he does with the help of his wife Joanne. » Brinkwire

No Comments on Peter Wright, a darts player, takes two hours to do his mohawk, which he does with the help of his wife Joanne. » Brinkwire

Peter Wright, a darts player, spends two hours getting his mohawk done, with the help of his wife Joanne.

Peter Wright’s distinctive mohican and facial ‘war paint’ have made him the most recognisable darts star in the world, and he owes the transformation to his wife and daughter.

On Monday evening, Peter Wright will compete in his third PDC World Darts Championship final at Ally Pally, wearing his trademark mohawk and ‘war paint’.

Snakebite put on a memorable performance in their semi-final on Sunday, defeating fellow Scot Gary Anderson, and will now face Michael Smith after Bully Boy destroyed James Wade.

Wright is confident after winning the World Matchplay and Players Championship Finals in 2021, after becoming World Champion for the first time in 2020.

The 51-year-old began his career with the BDO in 1995, and he was unrecognizable without his now-familiar look, which his loved ones had crafted for him.

Jo, Peter’s manager and wife, is a hairdresser by trade and was instrumental in shaping Snakebite’s flamboyant look during his professional darts career.

She runs a salon in Lowestoft, Suffolk, called Medusa Hair, where she once spent nearly five hours perfecting a look for her other half.

“It takes about two hours every day in my chilling out time after practice,” he said in 2013.

My wife Jo is doing my hair while I relax.”

In the comments section, tell us who you think will win the PDC Darts World Championships in 2022.

“It’s down to my daughter because she’s the one who has all different color hair and I thought ‘I’ll try that,” she told the Mail.

“It was the first time any other dart player tried it, and it just stuck.”

It’s like going to war with my war paint on,…

Peter Wright unrecognisable without mohican haircut

No Comments on Peter Wright unrecognisable without mohican haircut

Peter Wright is one of the most recognisable darts players in the world thanks to his eye-catching outfits, his sprayed mohican hair and also his ever-changing head paint.

With wife Jo helping him look his best for when he takes to the oche, Snakebite’s performances have skyrocketed since he took ownership of his new look – which he is rarely seen without.

However, there are times in which Wright has been seen without his trademark style, with no snake on the side of his head or colour and hairspray in his naturally white hair.

Wright joined the PDC back in 2004 following nine years of on-and-off performances in the BDO, having appeared in a plain black top with a more common hairstyle at the 1995 BDO World Darts Championship.

Wright told the Mail back in 2013: “It takes about two hours every day after practice in my chilling out time. I sit there chilling, and my wife Jo does my hair.

“It’s down to my daughter because she’s the one who has all different colour hair and I thought “I’ll try that”. No other dart players have tried it and it just stuck.

“I class it as going to war with my war paint on ready for battle.”

Jo who is also Peter’s manager, is a hairdresser by trade and has played a vital part in forming Snakebite’s flamboyant do during his time in professional darts.

She owns her own salon called Medusa Hair in Lowestoft, Suffolk, and once spent almost five hours perfecting a look for her other half.

Wright is currently ranked second in the world thanks to another fine year of earnings, having won the…
