Remember When: Mohegan Park the result of Yankee ingenuity

More than a half a century ago I would walk up to Spaulding Pond for either fishing or swimming with my good friend Jimmy. I lived on Spaulding Street, at that time, in a two-family Victorian home with my parents and two sisters.

Well, Jimmy and I would walk up to Warren Street and finally reach the entrance to Mohegan Park very near to the Rose Garden. We’d then begin our fun exploration of the old path through the forest following the blue painted slashed trail markers to Mohegan Park Road and cross over to the Ice Pond where in my father’s youth he broke his right leg skating too close and fell in where the ice men were cutting ice for the “ice house.”

Our trip to “the park,” as we called it, took us along a stream with its towering trees, rock outcropping, green understory, and aquatic life. We’d enter the park center from the trail just below the rose arbored dam where there were ducks swimming in a small pond carousing, to our delight, and then travel along the park roads to Bullhead Rock to fish or swim depending on the weather.

Now, well over 60 years later, the memories are getting a bit cloudy or maybe enhanced by my hyped imagination of good times past. Now, as a senior citizen, I see a beautiful park where you can enjoy swimming in season, fishing, baseball and tennis or a healthy walk or jog.

It’s also enjoyable to just observe the flora and fauna from the trails or the seven miles of paved roads.

Through private donations, the land of Mohegan Park has grown to over 380 acres between 1907 and the present time. The park center was established in 1907….

Shawnee Public Schools students enjoy Spirit Wolf Dance Troupe performances

For about 14 years now, several Shawnee Public Schools students representing various Native American tribes have competed and performed in the Spirit Wolf Dance Troupe, expressing their love of dance and their culture.

According to SPS Indian Education Coordinator Graham Primeaux, the dance troupe is composed of a group of students who perform at SPS school sites and in the Shawnee community.

“When schools need some cultural education, we use our own Native American students who dance to go out into the district to share their cultural, heritage and traditions,” Primeaux said.

He explained students of multiple ages in the district participate in the dance troupe and each presentation is different.

“We have anywhere from six to 18 students that we have in our district that do dance,” he said. “There are no auditions; we just know a lot of the students’ families.”

He explained about 30 percent of SPS students are Native American students and 41 different tribes are represented by those students.

About 13 different tribes are represented by the students on the dance troupe.

Those tribes include the Kickapoo Tribe, Absentee Shawnee Tribe, Sac and Fox Nation, Delaware Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ponca Nation, Osage Nation, Otoe-Missouria Tribe, Pawnee Nation, Choctaw Nation, Comanche Nation, Caddo Nation, Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.

Primeaux explained the troupe is beneficial to students because it gives them the opportunity to share their heritage and be confident in who they are.

“Our dancers are building on their own identity and are able to participate in their own cultural teachings and traditions through dance,” he said. “So when we go out into the schools we’re able to use our own students to teach and educate non Natives about the culture, heritage and traditions of our Indian people.”

‘Manteo’su00a0World’ is a treasure trove of information on how the first Americans lived in N.C.

Ben Steelman  |  StarNews Correspondent

We know pathetically little about the Cape Fear Indians, who inhabited the Wilmington area until the early 1700s. We’re not sure what they called themselves (possibly “Daw-Hee”) or what they spoke (probably a Siouan language, similar to the Plains Indians). 

A fair idea of how they lived, however, can be gleaned from “Manteo’s World: Native American Life in Carolina’s Sound Country Before and After the Lost Colony” by retired Old Dominion University anthropologist Helen C. Rountree.

Rountree writes about the Croatoans, the Roanokes and the other Algonquian-speaking peoples whom Sir Walter Raleigh’s expeditions encountered in and around Roanoke Island beginning in 1584.

We know rather more about them thanks to the accounts of explorers such as Thomas Hariot, John Lawson (who came along later, in the early 1700s) and particularly the many drawings by John White, the governor of what would come to be known as “the Lost Colony.”

More: With ‘Uncollected Stories,’ Allan Gurganus serves up slices of North Carolina

Manteo, for those who forgot, was the young Croatoan man who traveled back to England with the first explorers and later became an interpreter and diplomat for the English settlers.

These first Americans lived a Stone Age existence. They had only small amounts of copper, acquired by trade, which they used mainly for jewelry. Nevertheless, they had a self-sufficient, mostly comfortable existence.

It wasn’t Eden. Women — who were expected to farm corn, beans and squash; root for tubers in the marshes; cook; tan hides; make baskets and perform other chores — often developed arthritis as early as their 30s.

Men hunted and fished. It was exhausting work, chasing wounded deer for miles, then lugging the carcasses for miles back to the village or camp. English visitors often saw men lying around between hunts — which, Rountree thinks, led…

Irv Oslin on spurnpiking — from Cleveland’s back alleys to Mohican’s majestic forests

You're never sure what you'll find hiking in Mohican. And sometimes when you do find it, you're still not sure.

You’re never sure what you’ll find hiking in Mohican. And sometimes when you do find it, you’re still not sure.

On a recent hike to Lyons Falls, I remembered when I first saw this iconic Mohican landmark. It was around 35 years ago, maybe longer. I stumbled upon it while spurnpiking.

More: Knox County hike – climbing the Devil’s Backbone

“Spurnpiking” is a term used by us back roads aficionados. We spurn the interstates and turnpikes — opting for less-traveled roads. The more remote, the better. If they’re not paved, better still.

I’ve been a spurnpiker for as long as I can remember. As a boy growing up on the West Side of Cleveland, I constantly roamed the alleys. They were far more interesting than the busy streets that paralleled them.

Irv Oslin

Strolling down the narrow red brick alleyways, you learned a lot about your neighbors.

Their backyards revealed more about them than the fronts of their houses — with windows concealed behind overgrown hedges and veiled with yellowed lace curtains or tattered blinds.

From the alleys you could see so much more. You saw your neighbors’ laundry hanging out to dry. That told you how many people lived there, their gender and ages. And their proclivity for hygiene. You met their dogs, and occasionally raided their trash if you noticed something that looked interesting.

Mom never found any of it interesting and inevitably made me take it back to where I found it

She was 76.Richardson is survived by her husband Stan Leven who was a longtime senior producer for Chronicle. Leven said, “Mary never let her Alzheimer’s define her or slow her down.

She brought a joy, a pride and a celebration of where we live here in New England. Mary had it all, a fine reporter, writer, producer, smart, attractive, affable and possessed that classic indomitable Irish spirit and wit. A dear colleague and friend to all of us.”“We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Mary who was one of Channel 5’s most cherished and highly-regarded journalists whose standard of excellence influences Chronicle to this day,” said Kyle Grimes, WCVB Channel 5 President and General Manager. “We…

Hanrahan hoping to finish on a high

Harness racing trainer Laurence Hanrahan is hoping to finish the West Coast circuit on a high with Last Of the Mohicans when he contests the Rosco Contractors LTD Reefton Cup (3200m) on Thursday.

By Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk

Trainer Laurence Hanrahan is hoping to finish the West Coast circuit on a high with Last Of the Mohicans when he contests the Rosco Contractors LTD Reefton Cup (3200m) on Thursday.

The son of Auckland Reactor was a beaten favourite in the Westport Cup (3200m) on Boxing Day when finishing fourth but backed up two days later to win the Caltex Westport Handicap Pace (2600m) in testing Heavy conditions.

Hanrahan was over the moon with the result but admitted the tough run and battle with Homebush Lad down the home straight has taken its toll on the gelding.

“It was pretty gutsy by both horses to fight it out like that,” Hanrahan said.

“When they went past me the other horse (Homebush Lad) had just headed him and for him to come back and get up was full credit to the horse and the drive (by Ricky May) was outstanding. You can’t beat an old head in those sort of races.

“He is a tired horse today (Wednesday). I am 50-50 as to whether I start him, but I think I will, you don’t often get the opportunity to race for $20,000 and only have 10 horses in it, in a field that he can be very competitive in.”

There will be a few weary legs in the Reefton Cup but Hanrahan said their biggest danger isn’t Last Of The Mohican’s 20m handicap, but Kiwi X Factor, who bypassed Tuesday’s meeting after winning the Westport Cup.

“The 20m isn’t really a concern because…

Miss America 2022, Emma Broils, proud of our country: “I live in the American dream”

Emma Broiles made history.

On Thursday night, college students were awarded the title of Miss America 2022 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Miss Alaska is the first to win the title in Pageant’s 100-year history.

What started as a beauty pageant in Atlantic City in 1921 has evolved from focusing solely on appearance. Athletes are no longer judged by appearance, with a new focus on leadership, talent and communication skills.

In addition to the 100th Anniversary Crown, Broiles claimed $ 100,000 in a college scholarship. She emerged as a winner out of 51 contestants representing 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Broilles told Fox News about winning the crown, her personal struggle, and why she’s proud to be an American.

Fox News: Go back to the moment you first heard “Miss Alaska”.
Emma Broiles: To be honest, I couldn’t believe I was in the top 10. Miss Alaska has only played in the finals twice in history. So it was an honor for me to be there on the 100th anniversary of Miss America, which represents Alaska. When I got there, I was just shocked for the rest of the night. And from there everything was so blurry. Before I knew it, I was in the top five and the last one called was me.

But then I was in the top three and then I stood up with Miss Alabama. At that moment, I thought I was really in a dream. I needed to be pinched. I couldn’t believe it because of that haze. And when I heard my name called, it was a very surreal moment. I…
