Marek Hamsik is a player that’s been around the block.

Football has taken this 33-year-old, best known for his 12-year spell at Napoli, right around the world, while has become a legend in his native Slovakia.

It didn’t take long for those in Italy to poach him from Slovan Bratislava, arguably the best club in Slovakia before an impressive spell at Brescia earned Hamsik that move to Napoli.

As his career winds down, he spent two years in China no doubt raking in the cash under Rafa Benitez at Dalian Professional, before earlier this year joining Swedish outfit IFK Goteborg for a brief period.

Now set for a two-year stint in Turkey with Trabzonspor, the experienced midfielder is on the verge of helping Slovakia reach the knockout rounds of a major tournament once again.

However, there is far more to Hamsik than a journeyman footballing career.

This a man who enjoys bathing in the snow, as shown on multiple occasions on his social media.

Hamsik loves to bathe shirtless in the snow, as shown on multiple occasions

Hamsik’s bizarre yet thrill-seeking personality has seen him travel up ski lifts only to roll down snow-topped mountains in his underwear along with his equally nutty friends.

Moreover, Hamsik has sported an eye-catching mohican for almost 10 years now, though his initial do has been scaled down more recently.

The haircut is just another sign of his off the wall character that sets him apart from most other footballers and makes him unique to the sport.

NAPLES, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 28: Marek Hamsik…

Editor’s note: This article is part of a series featuring women members of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation.

CLINTONVILLE, Wis. – One could say Kellie Zahn juggles a lot of balls. She works full-time as an agriculture agent for the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, a Mohican Indian tribe in Bowler, Wisconsin. She’s the agronomist for her family’s 1,000-acre farm near Clintonville. And she’s been a board member of the Shawano County Farm Bureau for the past four years. But her educational background, participation in the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation’s Leadership Institute and a willingness to step outside her comfort zone help her juggle those daily challenges.

Zahn, nee Behnke, was raised on the Clintonville-area dairy farm owned by her parents, Doug and Mary Behnke. As a youngster she fed calves, cleaned pens and did other chores, she said. Those jobs helped her learn about taking responsibility.

After graduating from high school she attended the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. She earned in 2011 a bachelor’s degree in agricultural business with an animal-science minor. She then worked for about five years as an agronomist. But demanding seasonal-work schedules and time spent on the road as an agronomist conflicted with her work on the family farm, she said.

An opportunity appeared in fall 2016 she couldn’t refuse. It involved building from the beginning a program at the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. As an agriculture agent she would be managing gardens as well as teaching classes about practices such as composting, starting plants, alternative weed control and more.

Since joining the community she has helped establish a Community Supported Agriculture operation, and has expanded a demonstration farm from 1 to 3 acres. She and the community plan to rotationally graze chickens. She works with a few-part time employees and a summer intern.

“We grow about 30 different types of vegetables,” she said. “This is…

HUDSON — The Hudson Area Library and the Jacob Leisler Institute for the Study of Early New York History present “The Mohicans’ Incorporation into the Iroquois League, 1671-1675” by Evan Haefeli 6-7:30 p.m. June 24. This talk derives from one of Dr. Haefeli’s current research projects on the history of the Iroquois Confederacy’s relations with its Indigenous neighbors to the east and south, especially the people of the Hudson Valley. The incorporation of the Mohicans into the Iroquois League has remained obscured to history but was pivotal to the history of the colonial northeast. It explains why the Mohicans and the Munsee neighbors did not join in King Philip’s War and so prevented that conflict from spilling over into the Hudson Valley. It also clarifies the nature of Indigenous politics in the region in the era of Jacob Leisler.

The Jacob Leisler Library Lectures are made partially possible through the generous support of the Van Dyke Family Association.

An historian of colonial North America and the Atlantic world at Texas A&M University, Evan Haefeli has a particular interest in the political, religious, Indigenous, and imperial history of the colonial northeast. Born and raised on eastern Long Island, New York, he previously taught at Princeton University, where he received his PhD, as well as Tufts, Columbia University, and the London School of Economics. He has held a variety of fellowships, most recently from the NEH. His published books relating to colonial American and early New York history include New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty, Accidental Pluralism: America and the Religious Politics of English Expansion, and (with Kevin Sweeney), Captors and Captives: The 1704 French and Indian Raid on Deerfield.

Herbalists, Rebecca Guanzon and Justin Adkins, bring the powers and energies of spirituality, herbal medicines, crystals, tinctures, and tarot cards to their new retail shop, Wild Soul River, in Williamstown, Massachusetts. 

Wild Soul River is an apothecary shop with a distinctly witchy vibe that specializes in herbal medicine and energy healing. The shop offers herbalism workshops, tarot readings, crystal books for people to read, as well as coffee and herbal teas to drink from. There isn’t another business-like Wild Soul River in Williamstown, which makes the shop stand out and adds more diversity and charisma to the shopping scene downtown.

Wild Soul River opened for business in May 2021 on 248 Cole Avenue. Before shop owners, Rebecca Guanzon and Justin Adkins, started their business in Williamstown, they met at Alleghany College in Meadville, Pennsylvania. With a shared love of plants and energy healing, the pair decided to open an apothecary store and relocate to Williamstown, where Justin used to live and work.

“I worked at Williams from 2007 to 2016 and then I moved away to Pennsylvania where I worked at Alleghany College and met my partner Rebecca, and we were trying to figure out what the next phase of our life was going to be and I loved this building and neighborhood and we have a friend base here, so we decided to go for it” says Justin.

The other owner of the store, Rebecca is a trained herbalist with over 20 years of experience and is a practitioner of multiple energetic healing modalities. She has used her herbal skills to help survivors of trauma and incorporate trauma informed care practices.

A herbalist is someone who uses plants for healing….

It has become increasingly common for scholars, activists and politicians who see Africa from African vantage points to be outraged by neo-orientalist portrayals of Africa by scholars and media from the West. By “African vantage points”, I mean that they tend to explain and offer context, on the global stage, to the well-publicised crimes of Africa’s leaderships as opposed to calling them out. I mean, whilst they are critical of Muammar Gaddafi or Robert Mugabe, they are unwilling to support coalitions of “vanguards of justice and human rights” to flash them out, even if flashing out a bad leader comes by way of sanctions. These scholars and activists are my main audience.

It is my contention that we need to be kinder and more sensitive to the West’s celebrity-missionary intellectuals and media. They commit no crime when they “misrepresent” the continent. In fact, misrepresentation as a term does not even apply to them as, indeed, they are not mispresenting anything but simply doing their job. It is liberating to be aware that 95 per cent of academics, the media, and other commentators from the West will — oftentimes involuntarily, instinctively or by association — follow the foreign policy positions of their countries. So, Michela Wrong, Nic Cheeseman, Robert Guest and others remain intellectuals of empire. But with a sophistication; they are not crude like their predecessors (such as the colonial anthropologists who were, among other things, openly racist and abusive). This new breed of missionary-scholar speaks to the visible wrongs in our midst, but decides never to offer them any context, longue durée, causation, and abstraction whatsoever, to the point that they have even conscripted surrogates from amongst us. This new breed is more tactical, more sophisticated, but as dangerous as their predecessors.

If you were driving along Otter Street in Bristol Borough, it wouldn’t be surprising that one would pass the plain-looking building in the 100 block of Otter Street without looking twice.

But starting this week, the building that presently is a warehouse for Harris Comfort is going to be a bit harder to miss.

Civic group Bristol Borough: Raising the Bar unveiled a new mural outside the building Wednesday morning.

With a healthy-sized crowd gathered outside the building that features the three-story circa-1851 schoolhouse nestle into it, Raising the Bar President Bill Pezza showed off the borough’s newest piece of public art.

Harold Mitchener, a historian from the Bristol Cultural and Historical Foundation, grew up right around the corner from the building. He highlighted the history of the school that often is passed by.

The gothic-style structure replaced a school on Wood Street in the 1850s. The new building served as a school for borough kids through the 1880s and was sold to the Mohican tribe when a new school on Bath Street opened. The former school was then named Mohican Hall. It held gatherings and was even used as a late 1880s roller-skating hall during a spike in the activity’s popularity.

According to Doron Green’s book The History of Bristol Borough, the site where the school…

Editor’s note: This column was first published in The Freeman’s Journal on April 7, 1976.

The Steamboat Mohican went down more than 40 years ago, but bits and pieces of information about the boat and its times keep surfacing. Some are pertinent, some impertinent.

The rudder of the Mohican was turned into a coffee table; the propeller shaft is still part of a lawn roller; and the wheel now decorates “someone’s” wall. The lake north of Three Mile was dragged sometime in the late 30s or early 40s, and most of the remains of the Mohican were removed from the bottom. But two other steamers, the Natty Bumppo and the Deerslayer, are supposedly still out there somewhere.
The Otsego Lake Transportation Company leased its lakefront property to the village in September 1934, reserving the pavilion which was already under lease to Bill Smalley.

That same summer also saw, “Mrs. George Hyde Clarke of Hyde Hall treated for a wound inflicted by a stray 22-calibre bullet, which pierced her leg as she was sitting with her husband on the grounds of the Wilcox estate in Pierstown.”

John Logan, inexperienced woodchuck hunter, was thought to be the cause. Over in Oneonta, the “Wild Man of Borneo,” from a travelling circus, was arrested on an S.P.C.A. complaint for eating live chickens. The first sailboat to capsize that season belonged to Spotswood Bowers Jr. It was tied to the dock at the time.

Dr. Davis Kydd joined the hospital staff.

The Blue Anchor Inn, the last house on the right before the golf course, on the way out of town, was featuring a “special quick luncheon for golfers” on its terrace overlooking the golf grounds. (The sign straps still hang from the house).

That’s a shocking haircut! Static electricity makes Nyla the cocker spaniel’s coat stand on end

• Nicola Thompson, 40, snapped funny picture of her nine-year-old cocker spaniel
• Shocked in more than one way when she touched her and got an electric shock
• She said: ‘It stayed like that for ages and we couldn’t stop laughing’

This is the hilarious moment Nyla the cocker spaniel’s fur coat stood on end because of static electricity.   

Nicola Thompson, 40, from Burnley, Lancashire, snapped the hilarious picture of her nine year old cocker spaniel, Nyla, just as they jumped in the car to go for a walk.

The mother of four was getting ready to take Nyla and her other dogs, Mylo, six, and Bella, three, out when she turned round and saw the spiky mohican instead of her usual chocolate-fur curls.
