Staff reports  |  Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise

The Bartlesville Area History Museum will begin its latest Third Thursday series from 6-8 p.m. Nov. 18, which provides evenings hours at the museum on the third Thursday of each month.

“Life gets busy during the week,” says Museum Coordinator Delaney Williams, “It’s hard for some people to find time during the day to visit the Museum. We wanted to provide time for people who cannot make it during the day to have a chance to check out the history that makes Bartlesville so interesting.”

There will be guided tours of the main gallery, beginning at 6:15 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Guests are also welcome to explore the museum at their own pace.

Williams said the evening will be an excellent time to check out the special exhibit “Delaware: The Faces of the Lenape” before it ends on Nov. 26. The Nelson Carr One-Room Schoolhouse will also be open for visitors to explore and light refreshments will be served.  

“This is something we hope to continue doing,” said Williams. “We are planning another Third Thursday event with a Christmas theme on December 17th, if you aren’t able to make this one.”

For more information, you can contact the Bartlesville Area History Museum at (918) 338-4290 or history@cityofbartlesville.org. The Museum is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and is located on the 5th floor of City Hall at 401 S. Johnstone Ave.

The calming rhythm of a drumming circle. Tribal stories as relevant today as the first time they were told. An emotional blessing in the Lenape-Unami dialect. The cleansing scent of burning sage. A dance of friendship and community.

The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania visited Temple University Ambler and the Ambler Arboretum to help the campus and the surrounding community heal and reconnect with the land that has been irrevocably scarred by an EF2-level tornado that tore through the region on Sept. 1.

“We are all related to everyone and everything around us. We come together to help the Earth heal—we thank the Earth, the four seasons and all living things,” said Chief of Ceremonies and Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania Tribal Council Member Chuck Gentlemoon DeMund to a gathering of more than 100 Temple students, faculty, staff, community members and friends of the campus and arboretum. “Sitting here, standing here in this place, you all have free will but something brought you here. Today, we are all part of the Creator’s dream.”

There were so many lessons left in those trees while they stood, but we can learn new lessons from them, in their new state.

— Ambler Arboretum Director Kathy Salisbury

 

According to DeMund and Adam Waterbear DePaul, CLA ’08, tribal council member and storykeeper of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, the Lenape Nation has strong connections to Temple University, the Ambler Campus in particular.

“When [Arboretum Director] Kathy Salisbury reached out after the tornado to see if there was something that we could do to help the campus and community heal, we, of course, wanted to do whatever we could,” he said. “This is an important place for us—we are grateful to the many people on this campus who are such conscientious stewards of…

Jar Jar wasn’t supposed to live. He could have died at any time with no warning.

The 10-month-old pure basset hound had rapid heart rhythm and his prognosis looked bleak. At one point his heart rate peaked at 425 beats per minute, the normal rate for a puppy is approximately 120.

But thanks to a rareprocedure to correct his problem — and a non-profit group dedicated to helping basset hounds that paid for the surgery — there he was on a beautiful fall September evening at a Mays Landing park chewing a bone as his long floppy ears spilled over onto the green blanket he sat on with his soon-to-be-owner Valerie Mazzei.

In front of them, trees reflected off the still lake which painted a beautiful scene as a slight breeze blew over the lemon and white-colored hound whose life expectancy was six to eight months after he was first diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia in June.

Mazzei never gave up hope and sought out another medical opinion. Months later Jar Jar was at a veterinary hospital in Cincinnati, in the hands of Dr. Kathy Wright, a veterinary cardiologist, who performed a catheter-based procedure which is more commonly done on humans, to get him back to being a healthy puppy.

A few days after his Sept. 24 surgery he was a happy hound wagging his tail and greeting everyone that came within feet of his green blanket at Lake Lenape Park.

“He’s very friendly,” Mazzei said to two women who approached the…

It’s Thursday. We’ll look at a building in Brooklyn where tenants stopped paying the rent. We’ll also look at a new art installation that projects images onto a huge “shoreline” of oyster shells.

The four-story apartment building at 1616 President Street in Brooklyn is notable for the tall letters spelling out “Ultra Court” that are etched over the front door and flanked by elaborate columns. The building is also notable for the anger percolating among the tenants — anger that has boiled over into a rent strike by about half the residents.

Plagued by problems like cockroach infestations and leaky ceilings, they maintain that repairs have been neglected for too long by a landlord who is described by city officials as one of the most negligent in New York. The city has even gone to housing court, accusing the landlord of falsely claiming that dozens of violations had been addressed and of filing “baseless” eviction papers against tenants.

The landlord maintains that the building has been properly maintained and that tenants have sometimes blocked access to their apartments, preventing maintenance people from doing repairs.

Simmering tensions between landlords and renters are not uncommon in New York, but the rent strike on President Street in Crown Heights has a pandemic-related twist. The outbreak has mobilized tenants to take on their landlords. As my colleague Mihir Zaveri explains, the protest on President Street began in May 2020 when a nationwide protest with the rallying cry “cancel rent” demanded housing relief.

It’s not clear how many other protests that were inaugurated then have lasted. Some landlords — also coping with the financial pain of the pandemic — have struck deals with tenants for reduced payments on back rent. But there’s no question that in…
