Herbalists, Rebecca Guanzon and Justin Adkins, bring the powers and energies of spirituality, herbal medicines, crystals, tinctures, and tarot cards to their new retail shop, Wild Soul River, in Williamstown, Massachusetts. 

Wild Soul River is an apothecary shop with a distinctly witchy vibe that specializes in herbal medicine and energy healing. The shop offers herbalism workshops, tarot readings, crystal books for people to read, as well as coffee and herbal teas to drink from. There isn’t another business-like Wild Soul River in Williamstown, which makes the shop stand out and adds more diversity and charisma to the shopping scene downtown.

Wild Soul River opened for business in May 2021 on 248 Cole Avenue. Before shop owners, Rebecca Guanzon and Justin Adkins, started their business in Williamstown, they met at Alleghany College in Meadville, Pennsylvania. With a shared love of plants and energy healing, the pair decided to open an apothecary store and relocate to Williamstown, where Justin used to live and work.

“I worked at Williams from 2007 to 2016 and then I moved away to Pennsylvania where I worked at Alleghany College and met my partner Rebecca, and we were trying to figure out what the next phase of our life was going to be and I loved this building and neighborhood and we have a friend base here, so we decided to go for it” says Justin.

The other owner of the store, Rebecca is a trained herbalist with over 20 years of experience and is a practitioner of multiple energetic healing modalities. She has used her herbal skills to help survivors of trauma and incorporate trauma informed care practices.

A herbalist is someone who uses plants for healing….

It has become increasingly common for scholars, activists and politicians who see Africa from African vantage points to be outraged by neo-orientalist portrayals of Africa by scholars and media from the West. By “African vantage points”, I mean that they tend to explain and offer context, on the global stage, to the well-publicised crimes of Africa’s leaderships as opposed to calling them out. I mean, whilst they are critical of Muammar Gaddafi or Robert Mugabe, they are unwilling to support coalitions of “vanguards of justice and human rights” to flash them out, even if flashing out a bad leader comes by way of sanctions. These scholars and activists are my main audience.

It is my contention that we need to be kinder and more sensitive to the West’s celebrity-missionary intellectuals and media. They commit no crime when they “misrepresent” the continent. In fact, misrepresentation as a term does not even apply to them as, indeed, they are not mispresenting anything but simply doing their job. It is liberating to be aware that 95 per cent of academics, the media, and other commentators from the West will — oftentimes involuntarily, instinctively or by association — follow the foreign policy positions of their countries. So, Michela Wrong, Nic Cheeseman, Robert Guest and others remain intellectuals of empire. But with a sophistication; they are not crude like their predecessors (such as the colonial anthropologists who were, among other things, openly racist and abusive). This new breed of missionary-scholar speaks to the visible wrongs in our midst, but decides never to offer them any context, longue durée, causation, and abstraction whatsoever, to the point that they have even conscripted surrogates from amongst us. This new breed is more tactical, more sophisticated, but as dangerous as their predecessors.

If you were driving along Otter Street in Bristol Borough, it wouldn’t be surprising that one would pass the plain-looking building in the 100 block of Otter Street without looking twice.

But starting this week, the building that presently is a warehouse for Harris Comfort is going to be a bit harder to miss.

Civic group Bristol Borough: Raising the Bar unveiled a new mural outside the building Wednesday morning.

With a healthy-sized crowd gathered outside the building that features the three-story circa-1851 schoolhouse nestle into it, Raising the Bar President Bill Pezza showed off the borough’s newest piece of public art.

Harold Mitchener, a historian from the Bristol Cultural and Historical Foundation, grew up right around the corner from the building. He highlighted the history of the school that often is passed by.

The gothic-style structure replaced a school on Wood Street in the 1850s. The new building served as a school for borough kids through the 1880s and was sold to the Mohican tribe when a new school on Bath Street opened. The former school was then named Mohican Hall. It held gatherings and was even used as a late 1880s roller-skating hall during a spike in the activity’s popularity.

Editor’s note: This column was first published in The Freeman’s Journal on April 7, 1976.

The Steamboat Mohican went down more than 40 years ago, but bits and pieces of information about the boat and its times keep surfacing. Some are pertinent, some impertinent.

The rudder of the Mohican was turned into a coffee table; the propeller shaft is still part of a lawn roller; and the wheel now decorates “someone’s” wall. The lake north of Three Mile was dragged sometime in the late 30s or early 40s, and most of the remains of the Mohican were removed from the bottom. But two other steamers, the Natty Bumppo and the Deerslayer, are supposedly still out there somewhere.
The Otsego Lake Transportation Company leased its lakefront property to the village in September 1934, reserving the pavilion which was already under lease to Bill Smalley.

That same summer also saw, “Mrs. George Hyde Clarke of Hyde Hall treated for a wound inflicted by a stray 22-calibre bullet, which pierced her leg as she was sitting with her husband on the grounds of the Wilcox estate in Pierstown.”

John Logan, inexperienced woodchuck hunter, was thought to be the cause. Over in Oneonta, the “Wild Man of Borneo,” from a travelling circus, was arrested on an S.P.C.A. complaint for eating live chickens. The first sailboat to capsize that season belonged to Spotswood Bowers Jr. It was tied to the dock at the time.

Dr. Davis Kydd joined the hospital staff.

The Blue Anchor Inn, the last house on the right before the golf course, on the way out of town, was featuring a “special quick luncheon for golfers” on its terrace overlooking the golf grounds. (The sign straps still hang from the house).

That’s a shocking haircut! Static electricity makes Nyla the cocker spaniel’s coat stand on end

• Nicola Thompson, 40, snapped funny picture of her nine-year-old cocker spaniel
• Shocked in more than one way when she touched her and got an electric shock
• She said: ‘It stayed like that for ages and we couldn’t stop laughing’

This is the hilarious moment Nyla the cocker spaniel’s fur coat stood on end because of static electricity.   

Nicola Thompson, 40, from Burnley, Lancashire, snapped the hilarious picture of her nine year old cocker spaniel, Nyla, just as they jumped in the car to go for a walk.

The mother of four was getting ready to take Nyla and her other dogs, Mylo, six, and Bella, three, out when she turned round and saw the spiky mohican instead of her usual chocolate-fur curls.

LOUDONVILLE — The cyclist who won the men’s open of this year’s Mohican MTB 100 race had never ridden a bicycle in Ohio before. 

Kyle Trudeau, 28, of Tucson, Arizona finished the race with a time of 7:31:11. Moments after finishing, the professional cyclist said Ohio’s terrain was a bit different than the cacti and loose desert dirt he’s accustomed to. And the horse trails were different, too.

“Some spots were saturated and thick with mud, and you’re just tractoring through it — you could tell horses had just walked all through them and dug it all up,” Trudeau said. “Other than that, just nonstop hills out there. Nothing super long, but steep, and they come the entire race.”

Saturday’s event marked the National Ultra Endurance race’s 20th anniversary.

“The first year was 30 guys who all got lost,” said Ryan O’Dell, the race’s director.

He said organizers used pie plates to mark trails back then and most of those riders were his friends. Each year, the race has grown along with the appeal for ultra endurance races around the country.

“We were doubling in size every year and the growth was hard to manage,” O’Dell said. “We also had very little volunteer support. That’s when New Hope (Community Church) came.”

The church began volunteering for the race around 10 years ago. On Saturday, around 200 volunteers manned aid stations and helped with other aspects of the race — which drew nearly 600 riders from around the country. One rider traveled from France.

O’Dell said the race was made tougher this year with the addition of more single track, eliminating around 20 miles of road along the route.

“We expanded the trail out at Camp Mohaven, so there’s a 5.1-mile loop there now. And the biggest news is there is an 18-mile loop on four private properties outside of…

ASHLAND COUNTY, Ohio — A 69-year-old man riding a motorcycle was killed in a head-on crash involving a 2018 GMC Terrain Sunday in Hanover Township, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

State troopers responded at approximately 4:35 p.m. to a crash on State Route 97 near ODNR Mohican Road 51 in Ashland County.

Investigators determined a 2018 GMC Terrain was traveling eastbound on State Route 9 when it went left of center and struck a westbound 2002 BMW motorcycle head-on.

The driver of the motorcycle, identified as Randall L. Beecham, 69, of Bellville, was ejected from the bike. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Terrain, a 30-year-old from Akron, was transported to UH Samaritan Medical Center in Ashland with non-life threatening injuries.

State Route 97 was closed for approximately 3.5 hours Sunday night.

Alcohol is considered a factor in the crash.
