If you’re sad about summer ending and the cold weather beginning to creep in, take solace in knowing there’s a silver lining: cozy cabin season is upon us. Fall leaves, hot apple cider, oversized knits, spooky movie nights—while you can enjoy all these autumnal things at home, it’s so much better doing so in a beautifully decorated cabin that’s surrounded by trees and at least a 15-minute drive to the nearest town.

The list below reveals a select number of stunning getaways that’ll be just as beautiful and serene on the inside as the foliage on the outside.

Hey Frame House in Lake Hartwell, Georgia

“I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Hey Frame House. This modern A-frame cabin is located on Lake Hartwell, about an hour outside of Atlanta, near the Georgia and South Carolina border. It’s the perfect secluded stay for a weekend getaway from the city, or even a few weeks as a home away from home. It’s a great place to escape to any time of the year, for swimming in the spring or summer, enjoying the foliage of all the trees and the fire pit in the fall, or even around the campfire in the winter.”

 Philadelphia in 1682: The Birth of a “Greene Countrie Towne”

The year 1682 marks the true genesis of Philadelphia as a planned urban center and a beacon of William Penn’s “Holy Experiment.” While the Lenni Lenape had long inhabited the region, and a scattering of Swedish and Dutch settlers had established small communities, it was in this pivotal year that Penn himself arrived, laying the groundwork for what would become one of America’s most historically significant cities.

UD students awarded two of five national arts and humanities scholarships : University of Dayton, Ohio

By Dave Larsen

Two University of Dayton students were awarded 2025 arts and humanities scholarships by the Council on Undergraduate Research, from a total of five U.S. awards.

Savannah “Sam” Smith and Caleb Molseed received awards to support their honors thesis projects from the council’s arts and humanities division, which offers annual scholarships to support undergraduate student research and creative inquiry projects at any stage of development up to and including presentation.

Smith is a senior from Cincinnati with a triple major in German, world language education and history. Her honors thesis looks at how German academic institutions, particularly at the primary and secondary levels, used folklore to perpetuate anti-Semitism during the Third Reich.

Molseed is a senior from Cleveland with a double major in history and English. His honors thesis examines the Stockbridge-Munsee, an Indigenous nation that emerged as a single community from the Stockbridge Mohicans from New York’s Hudson River Valley and the Munsee band of the Lenape from Pennsylvania’s Delaware River region.

“I am so proud of Sam and Caleb for being two of the five students who are receiving CUR Scholarships,” said Danielle Poe, UD College of Arts and Sciences dean. “This is an exceptional honor, as these awards are rare in the arts and humanities, marking their achievement as a true standout on a national level.

“Further, these awards are a powerful testament not only to the excellent work of Sam and Caleb but also to the exceptional quality of scholarship and dedicated mentorship provided by our faculty in the arts and humanities.”

Smith’s topic combines several of her interests, including the Holocaust and folklore, specifically fairy tales. She plans to teach German after graduation and enjoys learning about pedagogy and how it has developed across different cultures…

Last of the Mohicans: Atomic 212’s Barry O’Brien, MFA Hall of Fame inductee says tech wins but the humans left with jobs will combine machines with real relationships – and hunger

Barry O’Brien makes the calls, does the in-person meets – and keeps rolling out the one liners. He’s co-founded or launched and sold three media agencies – Atomic 212 was acquired by Publicis in December last year – and drawn swords with billionaire media moguls. He survived working with media agency doyen Harold Mitchell and “average” behaviour from blue chip advertiser clients. 

All of it, he says, has been grounded by engaging with people and building relationships that, for his part at least, are bankable. 

It’s the antithesis of a rapid automation and tech wave where self-service and efficient transactions are lead kpis for success, a point O’Brien readily agrees is the way of business. But he argues keeping some of the old school stuff – the traits often dismissed by digital natives – are what will ultimately differentiate individuals and business in a rapidly automated world.

When Atomic 212 was fighting for survival during the dark period O’Brien speaks of in 2018 – some holding company bosses at the time were licking their chops at the prospect of buying a strong agency asset at a panic price after it was hit with a wave of crises linked to former partner Jason Dooris. O’Brien says it was the calibre and depth of the relationships with clients – big ones – that kept them sticking with the business until it weathered the storm. 

“Our dark period was our dark period,” he says, reluctantly. “We had massive debt. We also had belief, we also had very good people and clients with understanding that backed us and we worked our way through it.”

A few years earlier when Dick Smith controversially ceased trading and former private equity owner, Anchorage Capital, faced much heat, it was media relationships that helped the agency navigate through millions in liabilities that…

Latest news: Assurance buys 3 in Colorado; Manhattan casino rejected; ESA sells 3 in Philly

Breaking news about deals, development, data and more.

Assurance acquires 3 in Colorado. Salt Lake City, Utah-based Assurance Hospitality and Affiliates has acquired three Marriott hotels in Longmont, Colorado: the 78-key Courtyard Boulder Longmont, the 90-key SpringHill Suites Boulder Longmont and the 84-key Residence Inn Boulder Longmont, along with The Meeting Place, a 1,860-square-foot meeting and event space, from an institutional seller for an undisclosed amount. The financing included two conventional loans totaling $10.2 million and a $6.2 million SBA-backed loan, according to Hunter Hotel Advisors, which facilitated the transaction.

NYC casino plans rejected. Plans to build New York City’s first full-service casino in Manhattan may have been put on hold for good as a local panel on Monday rejected the last of three Manhattan proposals that had been among those vying for a new state license to operate a Las Vegas-style casino in the lucrative New York City market. The proposal, a six-acre project near the United Nations headquarters dubbed “Freedom Plaza” and operated by Mohegan, the gaming company run by Connecticut’s Mohegan Tribe, was denied by a state-commissioned community advisory committee on a 4-2 vote. Five proposals remain in the race for up to three gaming licenses. Among them is a proposed Bally’s casino on a Bronx public golf course once run by President Donald Trump’s company, a gambling hall envisioned for Coney Island’s boardwalk in Brooklyn, and a Hard Rock casino proposed next to Citi Field in Queens, where the New York Mets play.

ESA sells 3 in the Philadelphia area. Extended Stay America has sold three Philadelphia-area hotels for more than $18.7 million combined, according to a story in the Philadelphia Business Journal. Newark, Delaware-based Niti Group purchased the 101-key Extended Stay America Suites Philadelphia Exton for more than…

Raising addiction awareness during National Recovery Month

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=337wXy_14yQhQ1c00

NANTICOKE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Recovery is more than leaving addiction behind; it’s rediscovering strength, hope, and the chance of a brighter future.

The hustle and bustle of being a college student can lead to many obstacles and stress.

But for students inside the Arei building at Luzerne County Community College in Nanticoke, many of them are already battling challenges of their own.

“The AllOne Recovery Educational Institute will help students go back to school that are in sobriety from active addiction, and six months and beyond, it helps them get degrees,” said certified recovery/intake specialist at LCCC, James Monahan.

Monahan is a certified recovery and intake specialist with the program that currently helps nearly 50 students.

Search for suspect ends in Luzerne County

The program hits home for him, as he went through it himself.

“I was in active addiction for 25 years, and when I finally raised my hand and said, ‘I need help,’ this was almost five years ago. I’m coming up on five years of my own sobriety, and it saved my life because I opened my mouth and asked for that help,” shared Monahan.

Monahan says it helped get his life back on track, even starting the “Stay Strong! Student Support Club” when he was enrolled.

“When students walk in, like myself, they have no hope, and when a program like this helps them break those barriers, it gives them hope to continue not just their education, but their life,” said Monahan.

While the month of September marks National Recovery Month, Monahan says providing support to those who need it and having conversations to end the stigma of sobriety are ways to raise awareness.

“If I didn’t have my parents, if I didn’t have my brother and sister, my girlfriend Raven, people in my support group,…

Wild Turkeys Once Again Feature in Traditional Native Fashions

When Rebecca Haff Lowry set out to create a traditional feather cape for New York City’s first Lenape-curated cultural arts exhibit, she realized: “There’s no manual for how to do that.” 

The Lenape people’s ancestral homelands include parts of what are today New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and other states. With Wild Turkeys once abundant prior to European colonization, Lenape people made cape garments from the bird’s strong, warm feathers, says Lowry, a poet, educator, and a citizen of the Delaware Tribe of Indians. But this and other practices were lost as Western settlers decimated Indigenous populations in the region and forced her ancestors to migrate away from their Northeastern territory. (Today, Lenape nations are established in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Canada.) 

Lowry’s project to revive the fashion came about during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Stuck at home, she decided to work on creative projects. She wrote a short story that featured a traditional cape. When she shared the piece with Joe Baker, co-founder of the Lenape Center in New York, he challenged her to craft an actual physical garment, she recalls. Lowry immediately accepted: Working from California, where she lives and grew up, Lowry consulted a historic image and recruited her Yurok mother-in-law, who is a skilled regalia maker, to help.

“I feel like I’m a small part of a broader movement of Lenape people returning to Lenapehoking—to the homeland.”

After a couple of months of weaving and craft, the resulting feathered cape—which also incorporates a collar of dentalium shells, a material prized by many tribes—joined other pieces in the 2022 show at the Brooklyn Public Library. Since that debut, Lowry’s cape has also been exhibited at the Montclair Art Museum in New Jersey and will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum this fall. Lowry…

Bigfoot enthusiasts flock to downtown Loudonville

LOUDONVILLE — Bigfoot wasn’t captured Friday night by thermal drones at Lost Horizons Campground.

But something clearly visible to the eye this weekend in Loudonville is the public’s interest in the large, hairy creature — for believers and skeptics alike.

In its first year, the Mohican Bigfoot Festival attracted folks from around the area to the rural Ohio village, located just over two miles from Mohican State Park. The two-day festival offered family-friendly activities for all ages, as well as prime opportunities to hear about the latest Bigfoot research and findings.

Activities began Friday night at Lost Horizons Campground with a foot casting activity for kids. A thermal drone demonstration and community campfire followed after sunset.

“The campground was completely full,” said Angie Heimberger, who spearheaded the plan to create the festival last year. “The drone presentation was fantastic.

“They did not capture him (Bigfoot), but they did find some turkeys.”

Heimberger said another highlight from Friday night was the people who shared stories around the glow of the campfire.

“It was chilling to hear those reports,” she said.

Festivities transferred to downtown Loudonville on Saturday, where visitors enjoyed food and merchandise vendors, face painting and other kids activities in Central Park.

Several local businesses offered themed food and drink options as well.

A nine-foot Bigfoot statue was a hit for photo opportunities inside Four Seasons Flowers & Gifts. Mohican Mayhem, a well known local Bigfoot, also dropped in to take pictures with festivalgoers.

Heimberger said there’s been a large amount of interest expressed in Bigfoot by her customers, specifically within the past few years.

“I’m…
