Andi Weber

The Haskell Foundation, a nonprofit with the mission of supporting Haskell Indian Nations University, has hired Haskell alum Andi Weber as its new executive director.

Weber, a member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians of Wisconsin and a descendant of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, joins the foundation from the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes in Fort Hall, Idaho, where she managed more than 20 community and economic development projects as a senior planner. She’ll replace outgoing executive director Aaron Hove, who has guided the foundation since September of 2018.

“For the past almost four years, it has been a privilege to work with the foundation’s Board of Trustees in fulfilling the foundation’s mission of supporting Haskell and its students,” Hove said in a news release from the foundation. “I am very pleased that Andi will be taking the reins for the foundation. With her experience, commitment and energy, I am confident that the foundation will move forward in a very positive and meaningful direction.”

Weber will oversee a $20 million National Science Foundation grant to fund an Indigenous science hub project at Haskell, the largest National Science Foundation award ever granted to a tribal college or university. She’ll also guide the Haskell Foundation’s strategic plans, which include fundraising, alumni relations and capital campaigns.

Money raised by the Haskell Foundation goes toward assisting with the university’s unmet needs beyond the funding appropriated by the Bureau of Indian Education.

Local News Briefs

Body of Brinkhaven man found in Coshocton County

WALHONDING − The body of a Brinkhaven man was found Saturday in the Mohican River by the Walhonding Valley Fire Department in Coshocton County.

Mike Good, 66, went missing on Sept. 5 after the pickup truck he was driving went off the road and into the river near the Bridge of Dreams covered bridge outside Brinkhaven in Knox County. Bystanders reported seeing Good trying to swim to shore before being swept away by the current.

The incident is still being investigated by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Dresden teen injured in Saturday crash

COSHOCTON − The Coshocton County Sheriff’s Office investigated a two-vehicle crash at 7:26 a.m. Saturday at the intersection of Chestnut and North Second streets.

Authorities said Philip Sims, 51, of Zanesville, was driving a 2013 International semi-truck with trailer southbound on North Second Street while Cameron Conrad, 19, of Dresden was eastbound on Chestnut Street in a 2002 Honda Civic. Conrad failed to stop at a red light and the Civic hit the semi just behind the rear axle as it went through a green light.

Conrad was extricated from the vehicle and transported from the scene by MedFlight to the Ohio State University Wexner Medical center. Sims was not injured. Assisting were Coshocton County Emergency Medical Services, Coshocton Fire Department, Three Rivers Fire District and Prince’s Wrecker Service.

Dresden man’s body found near Dillon State Park

ZANESVILLE − The body of Robert A. Marshall, 44, of Dresden, was found near Dillon State Park at about 9:30 am on Sunday. He had been reported missed by his family earlier that morning. No further information will be released, said Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz, pending an autopsy and investigation.

Lutz addressed rumors spread through social media on Sunday. “There were no bodies found in any dumpsters or near any motels”…

Perkasie requesting variance for borough sign

PERKASIE — Being able to make the rules doesn’t put the municipality above those rules, borough officials said at Perkasie Borough Council’s Sept. 6 meeting.

“We make ourselves follow the same rules as everyone else,” Borough Manager Andrea Coaxum said.

That includes the rules for a planned digital electronic sign at the amphitheater the borough opened this year in Lenape Park.

“We make ourselves apply for permits all the time,” Coaxum said, “and this time our zoning officer denied the permit.”

The Perkasie Borough Zoning Hearing Board is now being asked to approve variances to allow the sign, she said. The hearing will be 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26.

Four variances are being requested, Doug Rossino, Perkasie’s engineer, said.

“One is for the size of the sign,” he said.

Others are to allow the electronic sign and to allow scrolling, he said.

“The big thing was the timing,” Rossino said. “The borough ordinance requires one minute between each change on the sign.”

The borough is asking to allow the message to change every 15 seconds, “which seems more realistic if you want to have somebody read more than one item as they go by,” Rossino said.

The sign would be used for announcements about amphitheater events and other borough information, council President Jim Ryder said.

Two street trees will have to be relocated as part of the plan, Rossino said.

In other matters at the meeting:

• Council approved a revision to the definition of disturbing the peace.

The change, which follows state court rulings that make part of the borough’s previous ordinance unenforceable, amends the borough’s ordinance to remove obscene language and loitering from the definition, Jeffrey Garton, the borough’s solicitor, said.

“It’s no longer disturbing the peace if you call somebody bad words, plus, just because you’re on…

Constance Alexander: ‘Mohicans’ 30th inspires frontier expert musings on past and present

A celebrity in his own right, Ted Franklin Belue is recognized in faraway places. At home in Murray, he is pretty much incognito. Hefting a huge watermelon while browsing booths at the local farmers market with his wife, Lavina, Belue’s inherent energy simmers beneath the surface. He appears agile and fit as if he could leap or lunge on the spot if needed.

Writer, scholar, musician, living history consultant, re-enactor, and on-air commentator for the INSP Network, Outdoor Channel, History Channel, NBC, and NPR, Belue is gracious when greeted. Asked what has kept him busy through the COVID era and beyond, the first thing he mentions is the thirtieth anniversary of the film, “Last of the Mohicans,” the Michael Mann movie, starring Daniel Day-Lewis.

Belue chronicled his experiences and reflections on his participation in the epic in a two-part series for the July/August and September/October 2022 issues of Muzzleloader magazine. He describes his role in the film as a “grunt,” a French and Indian War extra, the “lowest of the low in cinema’s uncredited pecking order.”

Looking back, he does not remember exactly how he got the gig, but he does recall that “A few months employment on a historic movie set of an era I loved sounded intriguing, even fun, and it dovetailed perfectly with my schedule.”

He sensed that the movie presented the rarest of opportunities. He asked himself, “Where else could a nonfiction writer of 18th-century frontier Americana experience an enduro of mock combat on a huge scale between yesteryear’s imperial forces with the day’s weapons and Native allies, cast high in the Blue Ridge shadowing Fort William Henry? And, be fed, quartered, and paid to do it?”

Interest in history has been a lifelong pursuit of Belue. “Early…

Native dancers take center stage at pow wow; Event at Mauch Chunk Lake Park showcases indigenous culture

Published September 12. 2022 07:54AM

Native American culture was on display Saturday and Sunday at Mauch Chunk Lake Park.

A pow wow, hosted by the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, attracted several dozen Native Americans. They were from various tribes and wore traditional attire as they performed ceremonial dances.

During some of their circle dances, spectators participated. Men, women and children joined the Native Americans as they circled around a roped-area, dancing to the beat of pelt-covered drums.

The event was attended by hundreds of people on Saturday, but rain kept the crowds down on Sunday.

Among the highlights was a hoop dance by two local performers, Joachin “Star Cloud” Wuebber of Brodheadsville and Matt “White Eagle” Clair of Weatherly. Both are considered among the top hoop dancers on the East Coast.

White Eagle danced with 28 hoops simultaneously while Star Cloud used 22 hoops. The hoops swirled on their arms, legs, hips and neck during their routines. At the end of their respective dances, each man peeled their hoops one at a time and enjoined them to create atom-shaped balls.

Star Cloud, a graduate of Pleasant Valley High School and Bloomsburg University, returned home recently after living the past two years in Scottsdale, Arizona. His father, Don “Wild Eagle” Wuebber, has been a local booster of his Native American heritage for many years and attended the pow wow to watch the two dancers perform.

A member of the Maricopa Pima Tribe of Arizona, Star Cloud said he has doing Native American dances since he was three or four years old and has been working with hoops the past five or six years.

Star Cloud said, “It’s good to see all the people I grew up with at one spot.”

White Eagle, a…

Dozens of people rappel down Mohegan Sun tower to support Special Olympics CT

Seventy-five participants scaled down the side of the sky tower about 30 stories to raise money to support Special Olympics programs.

MONTVILLE, Conn. — Volunteers supporting the Special Olympics in Connecticut rappelled down Mohegan Sun’s sky tower Friday.

It’s called “Over the Edge,” and it helps raise money and support for Special Olympics athletes of all abilities.

About 75 people scaled down the wall of the building, about 30 stories. 

“Before they go over the edge they get paperwork and a harness and then they do a practice on the platform and then they go over the edge,” said Matt Glad, an athlete with the Special Olympics.

Instructors teach participants how to utilize ropes that help them scale down the wall, which is important for everyone’s safety.

“We’ve been partnering up with the Special Olympics to raise awareness and money, but it’s not about the money, it’s really about the awareness about what our athletes can do,” said Tom Madera, the co-director of the Torch Run. 

“We have at least 75 volunteers today who raised over $80,000 for this event. It’s such a great event for athletes and it’s great to see the partnerships with our law enforcement community and the Special Olympics community,” said Madera. 

Glad rappelled down the building and comes back every year to do so. He said heights are not a fear for his.
