Mohican Christkindlmarkt to bring European Christmas magic to downtown Loudonville

First-ever outdoor holiday market Dec. 5-6 and Dec. 12-13 to feature vendor cabins, lights, food trucks and Krampusnacht festivities

Downtown Loudonville will host its first Mohican Christkindlmarkt on the first two weekends of December, featuring European-style holiday markets, food, music, crafts and community festivities inspired by German Christmas traditions. File

The magic of a traditional European Christmas market is coming to downtown Loudonville this December as the village prepares to host its first Mohican Christkindlmarkt, an outdoor market inspired by centuries-old holiday traditions in Germany, Austria and throughout Europe. The market will be open to the public the first two weekends in December (Dec. 5-6 and Dec. 12-13) from 5-9 p.m.

Originating in the 14th century, Christkindlmarkts began as Advent street fairs in German towns where merchants and artisans gathered to sell handmade gifts, seasonal foods and warm drinks. Loudonville’s own market will capture that same charm with wooden vendor cabins, glowing string lights, fire pits and the scent of evergreens filling the air along North and South Water streets in the heart of downtown.

The event is quickly coming together, thanks to a community effort. Cabins are being built by the construction technologies students at the Heartland Technical Education Center, Boy Scouts and other volunteers. Several local businesses and foundations also have contributed to making the market a reality.

Visitors can look forward to a mix of food trucks, fresh-cut Christmas trees, baked goods, local treats, handmade gifts, imported German décor and traditional holiday items. Some food trucks and vendors will rotate weekly, ensuring every visit offers something new.

Loudonville’s Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area will be in effect throughout the event, allowing adults to get beer, wine and other beverages outdoors while strolling the market.

Friday, Dec. 5 also will coincide with Krampusnacht, an Alpine tradition honoring Krampus — the…

Bank On Me Vaults To Pocono Feature Victory

Kentucky invader Bank On Me had to trot his last half in :55.2 uncovered, but the Chapter Seven-Overdraft Volo three-year-old gelding was up to the challenge and recorded a 1:55 victory in the $24,648 feature on Saturday, Nov. 15 at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania. 

The speedy finish came on a relatively warm day for Pocono in November that allowed for fast halves and quarters – usually off the pace, but occasionally coming from speed duels. Bank On Me was moved raw from midpack at the half by driver Ridge Warren and never took a backward step, wearing down pacesetting Chuckthemillionair (Colin Kelly) to win by a neck. Kovu As (Anthony Napolitano) was third. Nifty Norman assumed local handling duties for the gelding, who won impressively for Pinske Stables, Enzed Racing Stable Inc., and Lizanne Waples. The win payout was $12.40.

Perhaps the most impressive mile of the day was turned in by another trotter, the Quebec-bred Wheeling N Dealin-Majestic Joy gelding Kinnder Thinktwice ($4.20) in a $16,901 conditioned event. He followed front-stepper Hand Dover Dan (Anthony Napolitano) in the pocket, then motored home in :55.2 to go by the leader by 1-1/4 lengths in 1:52.2, equalling his mark. Cassius Hanover (Matt Kakaley) completed the ticket. Warren had the steer behind the five-year-old Kinnder Thinktwice, who is co-owned by trainer Susan Marshall with John Marshall.

In the $22,535 top conditioned pace, the Tom Hill-Racezapan gelding Moneyhill Gb ($2.40) remained undefeated after two U.S. starts while lowering his mark to 1:51.3. Not many Scottish-bred horses make it to these shores, but Moneyhill Gb may turn into a trailblazer, as the four-year-old kicked home in :54.3 and needed all of that speed to defeat pylon-shooting Chief Bogo (Anthony Napolitano) by a nose for driver Tyler Buter and trainer-owner Robert Cleary….

Partnership Invests $100K To Expand Crisis Care In Bucks Co.

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Foundations Community Partnership has announced a $100,000 donation to the Lenape Valley Foundation for Bright Path Center, a new crisis stabilization center currently under construction in Doylestown.

“This investment represents our deep commitment to advancing behavioral health and human services for children and families in Bucks County,” said Tracy Pasternak Willis, Chair of the Foundations Community Partnership Board of Directors. “By supporting Lenape Valley Foundation and Bright Path Center, we are helping bring a profoundly needed resource to our community that will serve thousands of individuals and families in crisis for years to come.”

A year into new ownership, violence still plagues Ohio’s largest youth treatment center

Several years ago, the state tried to shut down the Mohican Young Star Academy over frequent 911 calls, runaways and the use of restraints in the 110-bed Perrysville facility.

Those efforts failed. But even after a year of new ownership, problems persist at the rural facility, which houses children with behavioral and mental health problems.

Brittany Hailer investigated the rising violence at the facility and efforts to address it in her reporting for The Marshall Project in Cleveland.

She sat down for an interview with The Ohio Newsroom.

This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.

On the nature of the Mohican Young Star Academy

“This is the largest licensed facility in the state of Ohio. We learned that kids are brought into these facilities through different avenues. It can be through the foster care system. It can be that a juvenile judge is sending them there as a part of treatment after they intersect with the justice system. But these are children with very high needs. Whether it’s a behavioral need or a mental health need, they’re often coming from a traumatic background of some kind, and they are getting placed in a facility like this in order to rehabilitate or address those behavioral and mental health issues.”

On what inspection reports and body camera footage revealed

“We found that the facility itself could not contain violence without police intervention. Children were hitting each other, hitting staff, hitting teachers, staff were also hitting children. On April 4th, we discovered the largest kind of outbreak of violence. I interviewed staff who had described prior instances where kids would get in arguments or get in scuffles or whatever, but nothing like this, where the entire campus had kind of erupted into something that they could no longer contain.”

“Kids were climbing over walls into other…

Pens sweep brace from T-Birds

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins defeated the Springfield Thunderbirds, 3-1, on Saturday night at Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza, completing a perfect sweep of their three-game week.PENGUINS SWEEP THE WEEK WITH 3-1 WIN OVER T-BIRDS

Rutger McGroarty and Joel Blomqvist returned from preseason injuries, and both players left their mark on the team’s fourth-straight win. With a goal from McGroarty and a 23-save victory for Blomqvist, the Penguins improved to 12-3-1-0 on the season.

The Penguins opened the scoring just 2:20 into the night with Raivis Ansons supplying the tally. Ansons picked up a lively rebound that popped back to the blueline, and he then snapped a shot under the crossbar for his first goal of the season.

Shortly thereafter, Boko Imama and Kale Kessy dropped the gloves for a center-stage fight that brought the crowd to its feet. After serving his five minutes for fighting, Imama tipped in a high-rising wrister and made it 2-0 at 12:51 of the first period.

McGroarty let the Thunderbirds know he had no intentions of beginning his season without a goal, scoring 66 seconds into the middle frame. McGroarty soared down the left wing and cut across the T-Birds’ crease to slide a backhand shot through the five hole of Georgii Romanov.

Springfield got back into the game with a power-play goal from Hugh McGing at 11:52 of the second period.

Blomqvist denied all 12 shots that he faced in the final 20 minutes of play, ensuring his return from IR ended in the win column. Romanov made 21 saves while manning the crease for Springfield.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s next game is on the road, Friday, Nov. 21 against the Hartford Wolf Pack. Puck drop between the Penguins and Wolf Pack is set for 7:00 p.m. from PeoplesBank Arena.

The Penguins’ next home contest is on…

Penn Museum Unveils New Native North America Gallery on November 22

Penn Museum Unveils New Native North America Gallery on November 22

Penn Museum North American gallery

In partnership with eight Indigenous consulting curators, the Penn Museum will unveil its new Native North America Gallery with a public opening celebration on Saturday, November 22. A continuation of the museum’s work with Native specialists for more than a century, it will explore the political, religious, linguistic, and artistic self-determination of Native peoples across the United States who are still thriving—despite a historic agenda to erase Indigenous identity, culture, and language. These Native-led stories will offer nuance and complexity in telling the nation’s story as it approaches its 250th year. Uplifting cultural continuity, resilience, and creativity, the Native North America Gallery will reframe Native American histories.

Through its recognition of Indigenous deep histories, including upheaval amid centuries of betrayals, the exhibition will simultaneously draw attention to today’s Indigenous ideas, technologies, and art—alongside the ongoing challenges Native peoples still face.

Through more than 250 archaeological, historic, and contemporary items from the Penn Museum’s North American collections, the 2,000 sq. ft. multisensory gallery’s design will foster an immersive visitor experience—from its first-person videos, interactive stations, color palette and motifs to including Native languages throughout the interpretive text. Following best practices in the care and conservation of the Native works, periodic rotations of the items on display will offer Museum guests a fresh look.

The oldest items on view inside the Native North America Gallery will be the most ancient in the Penn Museum’s collections—projectile points dating back to 9500 BCE. Recovered during a 1936 expedition near Clovis, New Mexico, they were carefully shaped into spear points for hunting. The newest will be “Parceled Space #2,” a woven piece specifically commissioned from Cherokee artist Brenda Mallory, whose mixed media sculptural works imply tenuous…
