The band was named the best of 12 performers. It won a $5,000 grand prize and will headline a Wolf Den show at the Mohegan Sun casino sometime next year.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Mohegan Sun has announced that Connecticut-based band Chaser Eight was crowned Locals Live Champion after the finals last Wednesday in the casino’s Wolf Den.

For their effort, the four-member band is splitting the $5,000 grand prize and will headline a show in the casino’s Wolf Den sometime in 2025.

Mohegan Sun said that Norwich singer and songwriter JusBu finished in second place and was awarded a $1,000 cash prize.

Following a four-week contest hosted by Mohegan Sun and Hall Communications, Chaser Eight, JusBu and third-place finisher Austin Neal, a solo act, were named the finalists. Twelve bands were originally chosen to play in the Wolf Den. They competed in groups throughout November. Chaser Eight, JusBu and Austin Neal each advanced to the finals after winning their first-round battles.

The finale on Dec. 4 brought out a boisterous crowd, according to Mohegan Sun. Those on-hand were able to dance to their favorite bands and receive points for crowd participation. Judges made their final decision based on the audience’s response, each performer’s stage appearance, their musical presentation and their creativity.

‘Last of Mohicans’: Chadians saddle up for bush horse racing

Biligoni, Chad: Through a cloud of dust in the late afternoon sunshine, Chadian jockeys, some riding bareback, raced their sleek, muscular steeds around the oval track marked out just a few days earlier to the cheers of a large crowd.

Horse racing in the central African country draws the wealthy and elite who venture far from the comforts of the big city to camp out in the bush to enjoy it.

From members of the president’s family to the stable owners, businessmen, diplomats and high-ranking officials, race season is a prestigious affair in one of the poorest countries in the world.

“Winning a race in Chad is like winning the Champion’s League,” said racehorse breeder and owner Amir Adoudou Artine, puffing on a small cigar, referring to the annual football competition of top-division European clubs.

Less well-heeled racegoers climbed trees or sat on the roofs of 4×4 pick-up trucks to get a good view of the Biligoni racecourse, in a town midway between the bush and the desert in the southwest of Barh el Gazel province.

Horse racing in Chad evolved decades ago from links with its former colonial ruler France, which has suffered a series of setbacks in the turbulent Sahel recently as Chad and others have ended military cooperation with Paris.

This year’s location was chosen as it is the home of Idriss Ahmed Idriss, a racehorse owner who is head of an association promoting improvements in horse breeding…

First Lady to visit Nanticoke Indian Museum

Tracy Quillen Carney reads at Selbyville library

Delaware First Lady Tracy Quillen Carney reads to children at Selbyville Public Library.

Coastal Point • Susan Canfora

Delaware First Lady Tracey Quillen Carney will read “Books for Blue” the children’s book she wrote about a little blue hen who discovers the joys of the printed word — at the Nanticoke Indian Museum near Millsboro at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 21.

“I hope we’ve made the experience of reading together reflect some of the messages in ‘Books for Blue,’” Quillen Carney told the Coastal Point this week.

“The book is for kids of all ages, and we’ve read with all ages, knowing and enjoying how some will move around, ask questions and let their wiggles out. Others will stay cautiously on familiar laps, and some kids will jump right in my lap. We want to recognize and respect each child for who they are and really interact with them, to build trust and to nurture their curiosity.

“I hope that’s what we’ve practiced during the reading tour, and I hope it’s been as fun for others as it has been for me. There’s nothing better than earning a child’s smile,” the first lady said.

In August this year, Quillen Carney read the book to children at the Selbyville Public Library, then the life-sized Baby Blue arrived, making children run to her and smile at her black eyes, orange beak and feet, and bright red comb.

“Meet Baby Blue Hen — nickname, just ‘Blue’ — the youngest one here and the smallest one, too,” Carney read, holding the book up so children could see illustrations by Emily Hershman, who is also a member of Gov. John Carney’s staff.

“The family gives lots of help, no doubt, and a few suggestions…

Rethinking Home at the Cooper Hewitt

One crisp November night at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, a joyful Lenape round dance hummed to a crescendo as the sun set over the museum’s garden. Guests at the opening night of Making Home—the design triennial co-curated by Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, Christina L. De León, and Michelle Joan Wilkinson—joined in, growing this circle and adding outside voices to the harmony of Lenape leaders. This gesture towards community was one small piece of a gorgeous, thoughtful exhibition that disassembled as much as it constructed, presenting works as human as they are rigorous and scholarly.

Making Home includes 25 projects, involving over 200 people, that present questions and ideas about what home means, how homes are made, and what homes can do. The Cooper Hewitt is the only Smithsonian museum dedicated to design, with past exhibitions ranging from fashion, architecture, textiles, and furniture—any tool that touches human life. Their program is wide ranging, yet this is the first exhibition that has approached design from such an untraditional point of view. “I think it’s important to acknowledge curatorial work as coming from a place of subjectivity, because it’s a way to talk about bias in culture and contemporary design,” says Cunnningham Cameron.

You can’t help but wonder what Andrew Carnegie—the richest man in the world during his lifetime whose home now serves as the Cooper Hewitt’s only location—would think of the use his former home is now put to. When architecture firm Babb, Cook & Willard broke ground on the mansion in 1899, the Upper East Side was relatively desolate as far as residences went—especially for the industrial magnates that made up Carnegie’s peers. Carnegie’s foresight…

UN: The religious authority is keen on Iraq and preserving it from any conflicts

Najaf – INA

The United Nations representative in Iraq, Mohammed Al-Hassan, confirmed today, Thursday, that the religious authority is keen on Iraq and preserving it from any conflicts occurring in the region. 

Al-Hassan said, during a press conference held after he met with Mr. Mohammed Redha al-Sistani, which was attended by the correspondent of the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “This visit is the second to the city that is close to the hearts of all Muslims, and it included a meeting with Mr. Mohammed Redha al-Sistani. This visit comes within the framework of the ongoing communication between UNAMI and the components in Iraq.”

He added, “We have the utmost respect for Mr. Sistani and his concern for Iraq, its stability, and keeping it away from any conflicts, in addition to the vision that Mr. Sistani presented in the first meeting.”

He pointed out that “the authority is keen on Iraq and preserving it from any conflicts occurring in the region.”

He added, “The religious authority was informed of the meetings held in America regarding Iraq, in addition to discussing ways for Iraq to avoid any conflicts that would harm it,” noting “the existence of direct coordination with UNAMI and the Iraqi government.”

He stressed that “Iraq should not be an arena for settling scores,” noting that “the authority has been informed of the critical conditions in the region and the acceleration of events there, especially in Syria,” indicating that “the United Nations is striving to keep Iraq away from international conflicts to achieve stability and development in Iraq.”

He explained, “We discussed ways and steps to keep Iraq away from the conflicts, disputes and crises that affect Iraq,” stressing that “the situation in the region is dangerous and we trust the leadership in Iraq that it is capable of getting Iraq out of these conflicts.”

He added,…
