Summer Fun Cardboard Boat Race

Skip to content Morning Star Publications Logo

It’s that time of the year again when you start saving cardboard, get a team together, design and build a boat that can take you 100 yards (half that for kids)!  Besides all the fun building a boat, it’s fun to compete and some would say even more fun to cheer on the competitors! Past participants have even found that it’s also great advertising for your business, church, club and youth groups.  

So, come to the Nanticoke River Marina in Blades at 11 a.m. on Aug. 5 (raindate Aug. 6) and join in the festivities, whether it’s enjoying a Delmarva Model Boat Club demonstration, visiting our partner displays, voting for People’s Choice Award, cheering on competitors or simply enjoying our grilled angus burgers and all-beef hot dogs! 

This is Reclaim Our River-Nanticoke’s seventh regatta and is the group’s only fundraiser to support our year’s worth of educational, recreational and restoration programs. Go to nanticokeriver.org/rcbr or call Nan Zamorski at 434-294-3736 for any questions.

West Chester Green Team’s Legendary Lenape series under way

The West Chester Green Team launched its summer family education series on Saturday, June 24, during a rare break in the weekend’s downpours.

A group of almost 40 people of all ages gathered at West Chester Friends Meeting House to hear Chris Applegate from the Museum of Indian Culture in Allentown.  Applegate spoke about the daily lives of the Lenape tribe 500 years ago, before the arrival of colonists.  She displayed dozens of items including a pair of elk-hide moccasins.  Pennsylvania, she told her audience, is the home of the largest elk herd in the country, living appropriately in Elk County.  In so many other ways, however, there have been vast changes since those times.  Now the Lenape live as others do, with cell phones, cars, and jobs.

Applegate talked about the importance of music to the tribe and showed a turtle shell rattle and shakers made from deer hoofs.  She demonstrated a bow and arrows, as well as a spear.   A Lenape style cradle board with a life-size doll in it, carried by a strap on the forehead, not by shoulder straps as are modern baby packs. was also shown.  Applegate described the grinding of corn and the growing of “Three Sisters” vegetables, with corn in the center and beans and squash by its side, asking audience participants to volunteer to play the roles of the vegetables.  Planting in this way insured the health of the crops and, when eaten together, “the three sisters” provided healthy, balanced nutrition.

“Wanishi” means thank you in the Lenape language, with generosity the core value of the culture. In her concluding…

Huge fire takes out Lenape Arena

By LAURIE STUART

NARROWSBURG, NY — On Friday afternoon, June 23, a fire tore through the headquarters of Lang Industries. By Monday morning, owner Ned Lang was working at a temporary desk in a trailer on a small hill above the twisted metal hulk of the former Lenape Arena, 2.5 miles south of the hamlet of Narrowsburg. He was on the phone with one of his workers who was picking up supplies and planning the rebuild. 

“I lost 40 years of tools, equipment and trucks,” he said, as he surveyed the damage that had, in a matter of minutes, devoured the steel and wood building. 

“I was in Carbondale when my wife called me,” he said. “And I could hear the explosions; it sounded like Beirut. But thank God, no one was killed. Everyone got out.” 

A worker who had just returned from a truck run let himself into a locked area to put gas into a lawn mower. Unfortunately, he entered the closed space with a lit cigarette. The worker received second degree burns on his forearms and is expected to make a full recovery, Lang said.

“I’ve got trucks already ordered from New Holland and we’ll be up and running as soon as we can,” Lang said, adding that it was lucky that his solid waste facility, located just beyond the arena building, was not damaged. “The paint isn’t even blistered,” he said.

Firefighters from Lava and Narrowsburg were alerted for a structure fire with a victim burned shortly after 12 noon. Upon arrival, Narrowsburg Fire Department Fire Chief David Casey requested initial mutual aid with a full response from Yulan Fire Department and Lake Huntington Fire Company. The victim was treated by EMS from Tusten Volunteer Ambulance Service, Highland Ambulance Service and Mobilemedic EMS and transported to…

Brother to Beach Glass sharp over off track

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Developing younger harness racing pacers had a $16,000 feature race for each sex conducted over off going on Tuesday (June 27) afternoon at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania.

The males were led by the Stay Hungry sophomore gelding Im Hungry, a three-quarter brother to millionaire Beach Glass, a PA Stallion Series winner, and now triumphant in three consecutive starts after a 1:51.4 mile over a “sloppy” oval.

The track’s leading driver, Matt Kakaley, tucked in third with the winner as Oak Grove shipper Bay City led the field past the quarter in :27.2, then brushed to command in front of the stands and reached the half in :56.3 and the three-quarters in 1:24.3.

Bay City came out of the pocket to give good chase down the stretch in the :27.1 kicker, but he came up a neck shy of Im Hungry, who is trained by Travis Alexander and owned by Brent McGrath of Somebeachsomewhere fame.

IM HUNGRY REPLAY

The same basic storyline was followed in the section for distaffs, with the Lazarus N three-year-old filly Anna’s Wish equaling her mark of 1:52.2 over a surface upgraded to “good” before the race. Tyler Buter had a post inside all the main leavers and put them all in behind early, enabling him to guide his filly through fractions of :27.2, :57, and 1:24.1.

Sweet Home swung wide from second-over in the stretch and was doing nicely late, but Anna’s Wish was able to keep that one at bay by a half-length for trainer Jenn Bongiorno and owners Robert Weinstein and Jordon Sklut.

FANA attends the 22nd United Nations Indigenous Forum April 17

 

The twenty-second Indigenous Forum 2023 at the UN was held on April 17 – 28 2023.  The members of the Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas (FANA) and members of the SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians (SandHill) attended the event.  Members of the delegation were: FANA’s Minister of International Affairs and FANA’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway of the SandHill; FANA’s Director Chief Raymond Two Hawks Watson, Mashapaug Nations; FANA’s Communications Authority Director, Chief Casike/Tureygua Taino, Cay, the Cibuco Bayamon Taino Tribe (PR and FL); FANA’s Director of Visual Media and Digital Content, SandHill Tribal Council member Norris Branham; FANA’s Director of Indigenous and Cultural Outreach to the United Nations, SandHill Tribal Member Ms. Maria Lorena Cosme; and FANA’s Director of Press Media, Laura I Zucker.

The United Nations Indigenous Forum is held on a yearly basis.  The dignitaries attending the event come from North and South America, Europe, Iceland, New Zealand, Africa, and many other countries. At this event, the problems and issues confronting the global Indigenous populations are discussed, and solutions are suggested to world leaders.

It was during this event that FANA’s Communications Authority Director: Chief Casike/Tureygua Taino Cay and FANA’s Director of Indigenous and Cultural Outreach to the United Nations, Ms. Maria Lorena Cosme met the CEO of Maori TV, Mr. Shane Taurine.

He was of great assistance in pointing FANA in the direction of expanding its own sovereign-run media network and FANA looks forward to working with him in the not-too-distant future.

During this event, a meeting was held between H.E. Razan al Mubarak, UN High-Level Champion for Cop28.  There was a brief discussion on FANA’s constitution that was modeled after their own.

H.R. Razan al Mubarak also brought to FANA’s attention the problems confronting our territorial waterways…
