The heartbeat of the Great Mohican Pow-Wow roared to life again on Friday after a year of silence. The 36th annual, three-day event held at the confluence of Ashland, Holmes and Knox counties kicked off with traditional music of the Andes Mountains by Malkuri.

Robbie Swift, the event’s organizer, planned activities for every half-hour — each led by Native American or First Nation people, who are indigenous to Canada. Activities included storytelling, tomahawk throwing, a flute act and fire starting demos.

Swift says he hasn’t seen anyone in over a year,…

On September 28 at the National Theater the musical ‘Pretty Woman’ – The Mohican will debut – D1SoftballNews.com

M.Tuesday September 28 the National Theater CheBanca raises the curtain with the debut of the musical ‘Pretty Woman’. Written in pairs by Garry Marshall And Jonathan F. Lawton, respectively the film’s original director and screenwriter, the show uses a soundtrack that is a mix of pop and romantic songs written by two excellent composers, Bryan Adams and its trusted co-author Jim Vallance, and the unforgettable 1964 worldwide hit ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’ by Roy Orbison.

The theatrical adaptation maintains the narrative structure of the film success awarded in 1991 with a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Film (Julia Roberts) and faithfully traces the moments of Vivian and Edward’s love story. Alongside the sentimental theme, which has in fact fascinated a heterogeneous audience of dreamers and dreamers, some very current themes are still the strong point of this tireless story halfway between Cinderella And My Fair Lady. The revenge of a woman in search of herself and her dignity, the change of two different people, by class, who do not discriminate against each other but who get closer to each other by revolutionizing themselves and their way of thinking, the strength of feelings that have the better of fame and money, the overcoming of appearances in a world that cannot go beyond preconceptions. A hymn to freedom that overcomes prejudices and conventions, a transversal story that overcomes social and age differences.

The protagonist is the music of the 80s, performed live by a band of 6 elements in a pop / rock style, just like the author of the soundtrack, Bryan Adams. The music is typical of the years between 1980 and 1990 as are the settings of the show. Just as on the scene conflicting feelings are faced and experienced, so the romantic themes will…

Floppy mohicans and pre-race cider: Gary Devine, the punk fell runner

When Gary Devine was picked to run for England, the manager took one look at him and asked: “You’re gonna represent your country looking like that?!” Devine had turned up with shocking pink hair, holes in his jeans, a worn out band T-shirt and unlaced Doc Martens. Not that such a punky image stopped him becoming British fell running champion, after a race up Ben Nevis, the UK’s tallest mountain, in 1990. “Years later the manager told us that Gary had changed his life,” smiles Debbie Devine, Gary’s wife and coach. “He said ‘I learned not to judge a book by its cover.’”

Thirty one years on, Devine’s wonderful and often very funny story is told in a new book, Faster! Louder! How a Punk Rocker from Yorkshire Became British Champion Fell Runner. Author Boff Whalley was previously vocalist/guitarist in Leeds anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba, but is a fell runner too. “I got into it after seeing Gary win a race and recognising him from punk gigs,” he says as we all convene on Zoom. “It made me think ‘I could do that’. But Gary’s story is more extreme than mine. It needed writing.”

Devine grew up in hilly Ilkley, where he thought it was “quite normal” to run up and down the moors. “There was a big running section at our school,” he explains. “About 40 or 50 of us would go out on a lunchtime.”

If it was an important race, I’d just have two or three pints in the pub the night before

He was still a schoolboy when a friend of a friend lent him Dead Kennedys’ 1980 Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables album, and his passions turned upside down. “A seminal moment in my life,” he grins. “It was a completely different world. I wanted to run,…
