David McKay Wilson leads community conversation Sunday on Mahopac High Indian mascot

No Comments on David McKay Wilson leads community conversation Sunday on Mahopac High Indian mascot

Tax Watch columnist David McKay Wilson will lead a community conversation on the region’s indigenous people and the issue of Mahopac High School’s Indian mascot on Sunday at Mahopac Public Library.

Wilson, who this past summer conducted research on the Wappinger tribe at the Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohicans’ reservation in Wisconsin, has written about the tribe’s opposition to the mascot.

The Wappinger tribe that lived in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties joined the Stockbridge Indians in the Berkshires after they were forced out of the Hudson Valley in the 17th and 18 centuries.

Mohican Nation: Tribal president asks Mahopac and Wappinger schools for respect

Nyack: School board retires Indian mascot

Katonah-Lewisboro: School replaces Indian mascot with the Wolves

Joining Wilson will be Native American historian Heather Bruegl, education director at the Forge Project in Columbia County.

While several districts in the Hudson Valley have retired their Indian-themed mascot, Mahopac and Wappingers are the only districts remaining in the Hudson Valley that have retained them. Since 2020, Mahopac has refused to entertain a public discussion on the issue.

Mahopac school board President Michael Mongon in September said that school board trustees were too focused on providing education for students during the COVID pandemic to discuss its race-based mascot.

Said Mongon: “When the pandemic comes to an end, the Board will listen to the community regarding the mascot.”

The event, which starts at 2 p.m. will take place in the library’s third floor community room, at 668 Route 6, Mahopac. The event is free, but registration is required.

‘Indigenous identity and the land are inseparable’: Menominee Forest researcher to start podcast

No Comments on ‘Indigenous identity and the land are inseparable’: Menominee Forest researcher to start podcast

Jasmine Neosh strolls through the Menominee Forest realizing that so much can be learned here about how native woods are supposed to be without many of the invasive plants from Europe.

These invasive plants pervade much of the woodlands in the country and foresters today are working to restore large swaths back to native environments partly through Indigenous land management techniques, such as prescribed burning.

It is work the Menominee have always practiced on a patch of land that was never taken by European settlers.

At the same time, the forest also provides a business for the tribe, supplying lumber in a sustainable way that has been used in many notable places, such as the Milwaukee Bucks basketball court and NCAA courts.

“Management of the forest was excellent, taking good care of the environment and making a profit,” Neosh, 32, who is a Menominee Nation citizen, said. “Most people think the area is wild. You can see the outlines (of the forest) from space. They think that Natives just left it alone. But we’ve tended to it like gardeners for the entire existence and we’re still doing that today. And as a result of that level of care and understanding that we’ve put into it, it’s incredibly healthy.”

Jasmine Neosh

Foresters from around the world come to the Menominee Forest to research Indigenous land techniques because the forest is one of the most pristine and healthy native timberlands in the country.

As a graduate student at the College of Menominee Nation, Neosh has been researching the Menominee Forest and is…

Hendrick Hudson DAR Speaker Series on Nov. 15

No Comments on Hendrick Hudson DAR Speaker Series on Nov. 15

HUDSON — The 2021 speaker series of the Hendrick Hudson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution continues at 2:15 p.m. Nov. 15 via Zoom. Bonney Hartley, member of the Stockbridge Munsee Mohican Nation and its Tribal Historic Preservation Manager, will discuss the significance of a 2021 archaeological excavation of the 1783 Ox Roast Feast Site in Stockbridge, MA. The site being explored is where an historic yet largely forgotten feast occurred. It was sponsored by none other than General George Washington who wanted to thank Mohican veterans for their service in the Revolutionary War.

Hartley is a cultural resources professional who works to preserve, manage and interpret indigenous cultural heritage. In her capacity as Tribal Historic Preservation Manager and working from an extension office in Williamstown, Mass., she protects Mohican and Munsee (Lenape) cultural sites and repatriates cultural items from a variety of institutions. Prior to this role she held posts with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and with nonprofit organizations including Seva Foundation.

Hartley holds a Master of Social Science Degree-International Relations from the University of Cape Town, South Africa. She was recognized in 2013 by the San Francisco Mayor’s Office as an American Indian Local Unsung Hero Awardee. Since 2018, she has served on the Board of Trustees of Historic Huguenot Street in New Paltz.

The talk will be presented on Zoom. Register at the chapter website at hudson-dar.org.

The Hendrick Hudson Chapter of the DAR was chartered 125 years ago in 1896. A nonpartisan organization welcoming eligible women without regard to race, creed, or religion, it includes 130 members who trace their lineage back to a patriot in the American Revolution–whether serving as soldier, shopkeeper, or seamstress. In accordance with the National Society DAR, members work to perpetuate the memory and spirit of the…

Irv Oslin: Floating the idea of retiring from retirement

No Comments on Irv Oslin: Floating the idea of retiring from retirement

Retirement done right. Relaxing at campsite on the Mohican River.

Being retired can be hard work. If you let it.

Which I did.

More: Irv Oslin: Keep your gear from bungee jumping during a capsize

Seems I made the mistake a lot of retirees do; I allowed God and everybody to find work for me after I retired eight years ago.

Much of that came in the form of volunteering. That’s fine to a point. But there comes a time when you realize that a few hours here and a few hours there leave you with few hours to do the things you really want to do. In my case, that’s canoeing, camping and photography — all of which involve disappearing into the back country for hours or days on end.

Irv Oslin

You reach a point in your life when you realize that time is short. Sure, you might be around another 15 years or so. But, as you watch people your age become ill and grow frail, you come to realize that you might be exchanging your hiking boots for house slippers sooner than you thought. Or worse.

That scares me.

Gradually bowling out of volunteer gigs and speaking engagements

I’ve gradually bowed out of volunteer gigs and have taken on fewer speaking engagements lately. (I plan to remain active with the Mohican Scenic River Steering Committee and Friends of the Mohican River Watershed.) I’ve even stopped exhibiting photos for the time being.

I cringe when people suggest I should put more effort into “marketing my art.” I’m glad they appreciate my writing and photography. But presenting and promoting your work takes time and money. Neither of which I have in great abundance.

That probably wouldn’t…

Apex supports Absolute Investment Advisers as Convertible Arbitrage Fund exceeds USD500m

Post author By jeff
Post date November 3, 2021
No Comments on Apex supports Absolute Investment Advisers as Convertible Arbitrage Fund exceeds USD500m

Absolute Investment Advisers (Absolute), a long-term client of the Apex Group (Apex), has closed its acquisition of Mohican Financial Management (Mohican).

Absolute is the fund adviser to the Absolute Convertible Arbitrage Fund (ARBIX) while Mohican Financial has been the Fund’s subadviser. The strategic transaction brings the two firms together.

Apex has worked with Absolute to support fund launches and provide ongoing fund services since its foundation in 2004. Absolute provides access to non-traditional investment strategies in mutual fund structures and continues to prove the value offered to investors by the asset class. In this case, the Absolute Convertible Arbitrage Fund (ARBIX) was launched on 14 August, 2017 with USD25 million in legacy assets and a 15-year track record. Fund assets under management have since grown to over USD525 million. Earlier this year ARBIX was named Lipper’s 2021 Best Alternative Equity Market Neutral Fund ranked one of 19 as of 11 March, 2021 for the three-year period.

“Convertible arbitrage is increasingly attractive to investors since it can complement either the fixed income or alternatives sleeve of a diversified portfolio. It may provide investors an opportunity for a moderate return with relatively low volatility, which is increasingly difficult to find in the current low interest rate environment. Convertible Arbitrage is, in our opinion, one of few strategies today that may consistently offer the potential for alpha and the team from Mohican has the experience, knowledge, and track record to execute on the opportunities present in the convertibles market,” explains Brian Hlidek, Managing Principal Sales & Marketing at Absolute.

Chris Koons, Head of Mutual Fund Services at Apex Group, says: “We truly value the collaborative relationship we have built with Absolute over the last 15 years, and are delighted to see such impressive growth with their latest product. We…
