The Mohegan Sun Arena stands waiting for Saturday’s Donald J. Trump ‘Save America’ set for Saturday. Despite Trump’s claim on his Truth Social platform that crowds were already forming, that was not the case on Thursday. Officials do expect heavy turnout on Saturday, however.

Luzerne County Man Indicted For Drug Trafficking Offenses

No Comments on Luzerne County Man Indicted For Drug Trafficking Offenses

SCRANTON – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Dario George, age 31, of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury for drug trafficking offenses.

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment charges George with four counts of distribution of fentanyl and/or cocaine, and one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, heroin and cocaine. The offenses occurred between November 23, 2021 and May 19, 2022, in Luzerne County.

The charges against George resulted from an investigation conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Robert J. O’Hara is prosecuting the case.

The case was brought as part of a district wide initiative to combat the nationwide epidemic regarding the use and distribution of heroin. Led by the United States Attorney’s Office, the Heroin Initiative targets heroin traffickers operating in the Middle District of Pennsylvania and is part of a coordinated effort among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who commit heroin related offenses.

This case is also part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

Under federal law, George faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison, a maximum sentence of 40 years…

No Comments on New Niagara Falls entertainment venue named OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino

The CAD$130m entertainment centre will open its doors this fall.

Canada.- The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and Niagara Casinos service provider MGE Niagara Entertainment Inc. (Mohegan) have announced the name of the new entertainment centre that will open at Fallsview Casino Resort. The 5,000-seat venue will be named OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino.

The CAD$130m (US$99.3m) venue will host live music and live entertainment with all seats no more than 150 feet away from the stage.

Duncan Hannay, OLG’s president and CEO, said: “OLG is thrilled to have partnered with Mohegan on this agreement, to enhance the entertainment experience for residents and the growing number of visitors to the Niagara region.

“The team at OLG is very proud to have provided leadership on the development of this spectacular new facility and we believe OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino is another great demonstration of OLG’s purpose to ‘Play for Ontario’”.

Peter Bethlenfalvy, Ontario’s minister of finance, said: “The gaming and entertainment sector has a proud history in the Niagara region and plays an essential role in Ontario’s economy.

“I want to congratulate OLG and Mohegan on this exciting new partnership, and I look forward to continuing to work with the sector to bring a world-class entertainment experience to Niagara Falls that will benefit the city, help create jobs and generate growth for businesses across the region.”

Construction on the entertainment venue was completed more than two years ago, but the first shows planned were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Government restrictions in Ontario kept the casino closed until July 2021 and it had to close again in January 2022.

The Fallsview Casino is the largest in Canada. It features more than 3,500 slot machines and 130 gaming tables. Other amenities include a 372-room hotel with…

First Nations historian’s new book details ‘relentless’ children’s labour at Mt. Elgin residential school

No Comments on First Nations historian’s new book details ‘relentless’ children’s labour at Mt. Elgin residential school

For Mary Jane Logan McCallum, researching the history of student life at Mount Elgin’s residential school is personal.

The history professor and member of Munsee-Delaware nation first heard about the institution from mentions of her great grandfather and his brother attending.

Now she’s written a new book outlining the exploitation of children’s labour in residential schooling — focused on the daily gendered labour of boys’ and girls’ between 1890 and 1915. The institution operated for more than 100 years on Chippewa of the Thames First Nation, located about 25 km southwest of London.

Chippewas of the Thames First Nation was home to an Indian Residential School from 1841 to 1949 called the Mt. Elgin Industrial Institute. It was run by the Wesleyan Methodist Society, and later by the United Church of Canada’s Home Board of Missions. (United Church of Canada archives)

“There’s a profound sense of unfairness,” she said.

Her research — which delved into old maps, photographs, school reports, letters and financial documents — found students and parents felt the amount of work was harmful to academic learning and physical well-being. Domestic work done by girls and farm labour work by boys.

The day-to-day labour at the school was done by the children due to “miserly” funding. The training at the school set students up for “lowest levels of the social hierarchy” in Canadian society, she said.

The school “is a symbol not of education but of hunger, impoverishment, loneliness, punishment, and relentless hard work,” Mary Jane wrote in the book.

The title, Nii Ndahlohke, is translated to “I work” in Lunaape, the Munsee-Delaware language.

The book is not the “definitive history of this school,” she said. “This is one history among many that we can learn about.”

Loss of language, culture and tradition were felt

May Jane’s brother, Ian McCallum, translated some vocabulary in the book to Lunaape. He is the only intermediate Lunaape language…

Lauren R. Stevens: What’s in a name for a Northern Berkshire bike trail? Now’s a good time for a better conversation about naming landmarks

Someone posted a note on “Williamstown Issues and Information” suggesting the Mohawk Trail, so labeled on new signs on the Williamstown bike path, wasn’t a good name because it could be confused with the automobile road and because we should consult with Native Americans before borrowing their names.

A response attracted a whopping 72 likes and 54 comments, some for or against the name but most dealing with “cancel culture” — that is, whether we’re being too fussy about the (mis)use of Native American names. As with athletic team mascots.

A Mohawk Trail sign recently appeared on the nearly completed bike path.

History is fun — and revealing.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation provisionally calls it the Mohawk Trail because initial funding came from grants associated with the automobile road. The road got its name, really, from a pageant held in North Adams to celebrate the state’s 1914 improvements to the way over the Hoosac Range. A scene in the pageant depicted the Mohawks’ 1665 trip over a foot path from their Hudson Valley home to drive the Pocumtucks from their Connecticut Valley home. Thus, settlers of European origin found the richest agricultural land in New England already cleared of trees and uncontested in what they called Deerfield.

Entrepreneurs in North Adams and those setting up gift shops, restaurants and cabins on the refurbished road took to the pageant’s “Indian” theme. Gradually, the state came around to following their lead, calling it the Mohawk Trail — even though, rather than Mohawks or Mohicans whose land the trail crossed, the businesses tended to favor Western Native Americans. Their removal and whites’ settlement of the West was fresher in peoples’ minds than Colonial days; the “Big Indian,” which gave its name to a…
