Back on April 22, 2021, we shared important information about Hamilton Township and the Lake Lenape Dam.

Here’s a link to refresh your memory about this important public issue.

There is an important, new development that we want to update you about.

The Atlantic County Department of Regional Planning, in collaboration with Hamilton Township, will hold a public information meeting on Tuesday, February 8, 2022.

The purpose of the meeting is to review the Lake Lenape Dam Rehabilitation and Spillway Reconstruction project.

The meeting is taking place at the Hamilton Township Municipal Building, 6101 Thirteenth Street, Mays Landing, New Jersey 08330.

Atlantic County’s design consultant will be making two presentations at 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

The public will be able to pose questions at each of the public meetings noted above. The program ends at 7:30 PM.

The history of this dam is fascinating, dating back to the mid-1800’s. It closed in 1940.

Hamilton Township took ownership of the dam in 1978. The County of Atlantic became a part-owner several years later in order to directly assist Hamilton Township financially.

The project includes improvements to the dam’s powerhouse, along with the overall rehabilitation of the aging dam.

Atlantic County and Hamilton Township are working with the Department of NJ Dam Safety, NJDEP, the State Historic Preservation Office, NJ Pinelands Commission, and others to assist with moving this project to ultimate completion.

The important information below was prepared by The County of Atlantic as follows:

Those interested may participate in-person (face masks required) or remotely by phone at 1-347-991-6404, Access Code 818 252 992, or by joining from a computer, tablet, or smartphone at www.townshiphamilton.com/live-meeting (speakers and microphone required, camera optional).

Anyone who is interested but lacks the ability to participate may contact Douglas DiMeo at dimeo_douglas@aclink.org or by calling…

Newcomerstown display to honor Native Americans

ZANESVILLE — Six figures, bathed in golden afternoon light rest on a table in sculptor Alan Cottrill’s Zanesville studio. They represent one of the most personal projects of the artist to date.

The figures, about 18 inches tall, are models for a larger project planned for downtown Newcomerstown called the Lenape Diaspora Memorial. Cottrill is related to each of the figures represented, having traced his family tree back more than 300 years.

The figures tell the story of the Lenape, or Delaware tribe of Native Americans. Pushed out of their original home in the Mid-Atlantic region, they continued to relocate as white settlers pushed them further west. Eventually, around 1759, they settled in Newcomerstown, known as Gekelmukpechunk to the Lenape.

The six statues will stand seven feet tall and represent some of the most important figures in Lenape history. First is Chief Tamanend (1625-1701), who signed treaties with William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania. Both believed the natives and the white settlers could coexist in peace.

Tamanend’s son, Chief Nutimus (1650-1756), signed the notorious Walking Purchase treaty, which pushed the tribe away from the Delaware River valley between modern day Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 

Nutimus’ son, Chief Netawatwees (1686-1776), moved the tribe to modern day Ohio, settling at both Newcomerstown and Coshocton.

Bemino “John Killbuck Sr.” (1704-1779), Netawatwees’ son, aligned the tribe with the French during the French and Indian War, fighting mostly in eastern West Virginia.

Miatoka Nyeswanon (1740-1779) was Bemino’s daughter. She married John Schoolcraft and had several children, including Jacob Schoolcraft (1761-1850). Schoolcraft was captured by another tribe during a raid. He escaped four years later. 

As part of his family’s oral history, Cottrill always heard Jacob Schoolcraft married an Indian princess. Miatoka was the daughter of Bemino, who was known as the King of the Delaware by white settlers despite the fact the Delaware had no royalty. Thus, Miatoka would have…

STAFF REPORTS  |  Pocono Record

Art lovers will get a chance to explore “gravity-defying” world of Jennifer Zackin this February at East Stroudsburg University. 

ESU’s Madelon Powers Gallery will present Transfiguration: Woven Forms by Zackin in February, starting with a reception slated for 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 2. 

Transfiguration: Woven Forms presents new sculptural works created by Zackin during the pandemic. In this body of work, Zackin takes a deeper dive into her Vortex Weavings. Mathematically speaking, a vortex is a three-dimensional ring or doughnut shaped-object around which energy can flow. As it spins, a vortex forms through its central axis. This pattern can be found throughout the universe in hurricanes, galaxies, and atoms.

ESU news: Lessons from Dr. King: ESU event highlights ‘common humanity’, awards scholarships

Of interest: ESU senior project explores connections between university and Lenape

The artist’s ongoing Vortex works are woven with various materials — often cotton rope — on large cube-shaped looms.

For the current exhibition, Zackin has created Phoenix, a 44-inch by 44-inch loom onto which she has woven a fabric made from her own old clothing, piecing together bits and scraps to create a new, cohesive, multidimensional form. 

The exhibit will feature Zackin’s 7 Chairs series, which utilizes late-20th Century lawn furniture and tractor seat stools as armatures for “imaginary 3-dimensional landscapes”. The landscapes are woven from materials such as colorful rope and scraps of fabric to craft gravity-defying, “underwater-like” worlds that incorporate mountain ranges, escape hatches and refuges. 

Visitors to the gallery, which is free and open to the public, are invited to bring an article of clothing to be woven into a community Vortex project. Over the course of the exhibition, through the interweaving of parts of our personal history, a unique collective fabric will begin to emerge. 

For the last 22 years, Zackin has been integrating public art, sculpture, installation, performance,…
