Dilkens criticized for referring to Ambassador Bridge protesters as ‘last of the Mohicans’

Article content

A university-based anti-racism group is calling out Mayor Drew Dilkens for referring to holdout protesters in the dying days of the Ambassador Bridge blockade as “the last of the Mohicans.”

Article content

UWindsor RAACES sent Dilkens a letter following his comments Sunday on CTV’s Question Period.

“When you say racist things and refer to racist concepts, it’s evocative of a really problematic thought process,” said group member Natalie Delia Deckard, also an assistant professor of criminology. “When we have elected officials that engage in that type of conversation, it’s concerning that we have elected officials that are seeing Indigenous issues and issues of racialized communities and people in a problematic and concerning way. We’re hoping this letter draws attention to that for the mayor.”

Dilkens made the comment in response to a question from host Evan Solomon about why it was taking so long to clear out protesters.

Article content

“It is very, very frustrating and I understand police have a difficult job to do,” Dilkens told Solomon. “There have been calls of bomb threats. You have people who are here, sort of the last of the Mohicans, using that term to say these are people who are saying they are willing to die for the cause.”

UWindsor RAACES (Racialized Academics and Advocates Centering Equity and Solidarity) sent Dilkens the letter on Monday.

“Your use of the phrase, at best, creates a false equivalence between alt-right movements and Indigenous claims and at worst, is hate speech that celebrates the genocide of Indigenous peoples,” the organization stated in the two-page letter.

RAACES members said Wednesday they had not received a response. But Dilkens sent the Star a statement including a link to an online dictionary defining “last of the Mohicans” as “the final remaining or surviving person or thing…

As a child I was able to sing all the songs by heart, and I sang them for real until my entire family couldn’t take it anymore. This soundtrack is as if it has always…

Gran’s mohican raises thousands for Melton church refurb

Frances Levett (left) presents a fundraising cheque to Father Tom McGovern for St John’s Catholic Church in Melton, with fellow church members Ann Kirby and Sheila Sulley EMN-220213-181203001

Frances Levett hoped to raise a few hundred pounds from sponsors for the work at St John’s by wearing the radical haircut in church and around town but she has been amazed with the response.

She handed over a cheque to the parish priest Father Tom McGovern at the Thorpe End church to help pay for a £45,000 project, which has included the repainting of the sanctuary, using elements and motifs from the original Victorian design, which had been painted over in subsequent redecoration jobs.

Frances, who is chair of the Friends of St John’s, told the Melton Times: “I would like to thank everyone who has sponsored me.

The striking mohican sported by Frances Levett, which has raised £5,700 for St John’s Catholic Church in Melton EMN-220213-181153001

“When we started fundraising I said I would have a mohican done if the total reached £1,000.

“People were very generous and when I had the hairstyle done people seemed to like it.”

St John’s, which was built in 1842, was designed by a renowned architect, AWN Pugin, and it originally had intricate colourful artwork.

Unsympathetic alterations have spoiled the integrity of the building with the designs being painted over.

That look has now been restored with elements of that early design using clay-based paints.

‘The best coach I ever had’, Sarasota youth football legend John Patella dies at 94

John Patella, who died at 94 on Tuesday, coached youth football for the Ringling Redskins for 41 years, winning 13 league titles

SARASOTA — John Patella was sure the play would work. His Ringling Redskin Mohican teams never threw the football much anyway, perhaps 1-2 passes a game, so his opponent for this contest, 4-0 Seneca, never would expect a pass from an undersized and unknown running back.

“He saw something in me that he thought was really special and took a chance on me,” said Brian Ryals, then a 12-year-old. The man known simply as “Coach” had drafted Ryals from Ringling’s Braves division. In the mid-1980s, a third division, for players ages 12-13, was formed for several years to fit in between the Braves and Warriors.

Patella, leaving the Mohicans to coach this new entry, named Mescalaro, selected Ryals in the draft. The featured runner on his former team, Ryals had to prove to Patella he was ready and deserving of a big chance.

The game against Seneca was it. “It was the showdown game,” said Ryals, the former head coach at Sarasota High and current quarterbacks coach at Venice High. Also 4-0, the Mohicans were tied with Seneca when Patella unveiled a play designed specifically for Ryals.

Taking the snap from center, the Mohican quarterback tossed the ball to Ryals, who faked a run before pulling up and throwing a pass to an open receiver. He ran it in for the touchdown which put the Mohicans in front for good.

They won the game, and finishing the season 10-0, also captured the league title, one of 13 during Patella’s 41 years as Mohican head coach. During a three-year span, his teams went 36-0.

Ryals doesn’t remember the quarterback who tossed him the ball, or the receiver who caught it. What he remembers is the coach who…

Norfolk hospital doctor raising funds for those left behind by suicide

Published: 2:51 PM February 9, 2022

Updated: 3:05 PM February 9, 2022

A doctor has relaunched a haircut challenge to raise money for those left behind by suicide.

Dr Ben Fox, an anaesthetist at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn, shaved a ‘nohican’ stripe through his hair last February after a colleague took his own life.

The consultant anaesthetist hoped to highlight the need for more openness surrounding the topic of mental health and suicide, especially for men and people working in the medical profession who do not always find it easy to talk about the stresses they are under.

He also raised more than £2,500 for a mental health support charity.

“Sadly another friend died from suicide last year and that prompted the next phase if you like,” said Dr Fox, 40, who lives in Castle Acre, near Swaffham.

“I changed the hairstyle, if you like, to make it easier for other people to join in.” 

Dr Fox said funds raised from this year’s challenge would be donated to the charity Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide.

“This year, we thought we would do it for the people left behind by suicide,” he added.

The charity provides a safe and confidential environment in which bereaved people can share their experiences and…

A bonfire, gas station coffee and friendship warm the hearts of winter paddlers

An eagle takes flight as Curtis Casto and I paddle down the Mohican River on a January morning. It was one of about three dozen we saw on our three-day trip.

An eagle takes flight as Curtis Casto and I paddle down the Mohican River on a January morning. It was one of about three dozen we saw on our three-day trip.

Note: This story has been updated to correct an error. See correction at bottom.

Can’t say we didn’t get a warm welcome at our Eagles Nest campsite. Our hostess, Rose Mickley, invited us to incinerate the burn pile at night and treated us to gas station coffee the next morning.

Warm welcomes are much appreciated on winter canoe trips.

PREVIOUS COLUMN: Irv Oslin: Nothing quite says morning like hot coffee and a cold wetsuit

As mentioned in a previous column, this trip was well-scripted, with overnight stops planned at properties of friends I’ve made along the Mohican River. When I contacted Rose to get permission to camp there — a place dubbed Eagles Nest — she said she might even bring down some coffee.

Better yet, she mentioned that Curtis Casto and I would be expected to burn an accumulation of wood there.

After a delightful day on the river — with plenty of eagle sightings — Curtis and I landed at Eagles Nest, pitched camp and cooked supper on my tripod grill. Rose stopped down, saw the small fire and questioned our manhood.

“I knew I’d come down here and you guys would have a little sissy fire,” she said.

Or something to that effect.

I assured her that, after supper, we’d muster up some testosterone and burn a lot more wood. We managed to do a fair job of it….
