Maryland’s Board of Public Works approves $4.7 million for park improvements, land conservation in nine counties

ANNAPOLIS, MD—The Maryland Board of Public Works has approved more than $4.7 million in grants for park improvements and land conservation across nine counties, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources has announced.

The funding, drawn from the state’s Program Open Space – Local, Local Parks and Playgrounds Infrastructure, and Rural Legacy programs, will benefit projects in Allegany, Baltimore, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Dorchester, Frederick, Prince George’s, and Washington counties.

]]>

Approximately $2.2 million from Program Open Space – Local will support nine projects. Baltimore County is slated to receive over $1.2 million for upgrades at Sparks Park and Catonsville Community Park, including new pickleball courts at both locations. Sparks Park will also see new playground equipment, while Catonsville Community Park will undergo paved trail repairs.

Frederick County will receive $350,000 to construct a community center, shelters, trails, parking lot, and roads at Othello Regional Park. Prince George’s County is set to acquire 9 acres of woodland adjacent to Huntington Park North in Bowie for $360,000, which will expand the park with a new natural surface trail loop.

An additional $100,000 from the Local Parks and Playgrounds Infrastructure Program was approved for Caroline County to purchase and install fencing for two baseball fields at Sharp Road Park.

Nearly $2.4 million in Rural Legacy funding was also approved for local sponsors to acquire conservation easements on four properties, totaling 760 acres, aimed at preserving agricultural and forested lands.

These conservation efforts include:

  • Caroline County: The Eastern Shore Land Conservancy will acquire a 104-acre easement in the Agricultural Security Corridor – Tuckahoe Rural Legacy Area, protecting forested buffer along Tuckahoe Creek and scenic views.
  • Cecil County: The Cecil County Land Trust will conserve 45 acres of agricultural and…

Mr Big Spender in 1:54.2F, Season’s leader for all babies – U.S. Trotting News

Wilkes-Barre, PA – The local stakes season for 2-year-olds opened with a bang on the Monday (June 30) afternoon before the Fourth of July at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, as Mr Big Spender trotted the fastest mile of the year for a baby over a 5/8-mile track, 1:54.2, when he won one of four $30,000 divisions of a Pennsylvania All-Stars event.

The Captain Corey – Reilly colt sat fourth while Dublin Hanover and then Oversear put up fractions of :28 and :57, with Mr Big Spender starting forward uncovered nearing the three-quarters in 1:25.3 and gaining through the lane. The first-over and the pacesetting Oversear were inseparable to the naked eye at the wire, but the photo finish showed Mr Big Spender more photogenic by the shortest possible margin under the urging of Matt Kakaley. (Had Oversear gotten to the wire first, he would have set a new track record for baby geldings, eclipsing the 1:54.4 mark set by Amigo Volo, who was driven by … Matt Kakaley.)

Mr Big Spender (2) becomes the fastest 2-year-old trotter of the year on a 5/8-mile track by winning at Pocono Monday in 1:54.2. Curtis Salonick photo.

Mr Big Spender was the only one of the four All-Stars winners to have a purse race under his girth, qualifying twice freelegged and then adding hopples in a third-place finish. Now he is a season’s leader for trainer Norm Parker and owners Bart and Todd Brice.

Driver Tim Tetrick, trainer Scott Di Domenico, and the partnership of Di Domenico’s Triple D Stables Inc. and Joseph Faraldo sent out two first-timers, both coming off winning qualifiers, to All-Stars stakes victories and reducing their best times. One was another son of Captain Corey,…

County council ranking firms for Nanticoke bridge work in confidential process

Luzerne County Council is going to rank three firms interviewed last week for work on the closed Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge, and “information must remain confidential” until PennDOT’s central office approves, County Manager Romilda Crocamo said Wednesday in an update on the ongoing project.

Members of county council and the county administration, along with representatives from the PennDOT District 4 office, attended closed-door interviews last Thursday, Crocamo said.

“If any of the information presented is made public, the entire process for selecting a design firm must start at the beginning,” Crocamo said.

The county is going through PennDOT’s process to select an engineering firm to determine how to repair, reconstruct or replace the bridge so the county can receive $10 million in federal project funding through the state Transportation Improvement Program.

PennDOT regulations required the closed-door interviews, Council Chairman John Lombardo said last week. Five engineering firms submitted statements of interest to get the job in March, and the county administration selected the top three for council to interview.

On March 20, Crocamo closed the bridge over the Susquehanna River shortly after engineers conducting a scheduled routine bridge inspection determined advanced deterioration and section loss of primary, load-carrying components were critical deficiencies.

The county-owned bridge, built in 1914, links Nanticoke City to the West Nanticoke section of Plymouth Twp. The distance between the West Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge and the next-closest bridge over the river, the Route 29 bridge connecting Hanover Twp. and Plymouth Twp., is more than 1 mile.

The vehicular weight limit on the bridge was reduced to 5 tons last May. That decision allowed cars and most passenger vehicles to cross the bridge, but emergency vehicles such as fire trucks could not.

Last August, the county put the bridge project into the PennDOT’s Engineering and Construction Management System, known…

Scott Landis, Landis Market chairman, and Jason Trotter, Perkasie Fire Company Chief, expressed immense gratitude for the award

Perkasie Borough recently honored Landis Market and the Perkasie Fire Company with its second annual Jim Purcell Memorial Award for service to the community.

The award, named after former Perkasie council member Jim Purcell, was presented at Perkasie’s Community Day on June 28 in Lenape Park. Perkasie mayor Jeff Hollenbach, who chose the award recipients, proclaimed the annual award in April 2024 to honor individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to the betterment of the community.

“There are the four words I think of for [Purcell] – service, commitment, dedication and integrity, and these two parties represent those words very well,” said Hollenbach.

    The award was presented at the June 28 Perkasie Community Day in Lenape Park.
 By John Worthington | The Reporter   

Founded in 1938 by Frank and Sadie Landis, Landis Market started as a small neighborhood grocery store on Main Street in Telford. Now a third-generation, family-owned business with multiple locations, including Perkasie, Landis Market employs nearly 500 team members and supports over 200 local charitable and nonprofit organizations, with weekly donations to local food banks, said a Perkasie Borough press release.

“They have been a fixture in Perkasie for many years, feeding our community,” said Hollenbach. “For years, they’ve provided fresh food, friendly service and unwavering support during both ordinary days and times of need. I have deep appreciation for their commitment to our residents and for making our town a…

Watch BLOODYWOOD And BABYMETAL Perform “Bekhauf” Single Together For The First Time; Fan-Filmed Video

In late 2024, Bloodywood, torchbearers and metal barrier-breakers hailing from India, teamed up with Babymetal out of Japan for the single, “Bekhauf”. They are currently on the road in the US supporting Babymetal on their headlining tour.

During their June 27th show at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, Babymetal joined Bloodywood to perform “Bekhauf”, marking their first ever on-stage appearance together. Fan-filmed video can be viewed below.

Bloodywood issued the following statement with the release of “Bekhauf” in December 2024:

“‘Bekhauf’ means ‘fearless’ in Hindi. It was born out of the realization that fear can be seen as a choice, and that choice is our own. It’s about using this knowledge to take control of our fears and eliminate the side of them that holds us back.

It also marks our first ever collaboration. We’ve been waiting to find the right artists to work with, and when the possibility of the Babymetal collab emerged, we knew it was time. We were all fans of their music, but were still surprised by the level of synergy we managed to achieve on the track. It’s a trilingual song and features English, Hindi. and Japanese, Babymetal even sang some parts in Hindi. but we think you can feel the message regardless and that’s a testament to this synergy.

The fact that we tied it all together by creating an anime/video game hybrid video pushes everything to the next level. This is a piece of Asian metal history and we’re proud to share it with the world.”

UN Mission meets Kirkuk officials and communities ahead of November elections

2025-07-03T11:15:28+00:00

Shafaq News – Kirkuk

The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) held a series of meetings with electoral officials and local communities in preparation for Iraq’s parliamentary elections scheduled for 11 November 2025.

Over two days, a UNAMI delegation led by Principal Electoral Adviser Dr. Aamir Arain met with staff at the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) office in Kirkuk and held separate discussions with representatives of the province’s Arab, Turkmen, and Kurdish components.

Kirkuk has an estimated 1.1 million eligible voters.

At the IHEC office, the UN team reviewed the progress of technical preparations and raised key concerns shared by electoral stakeholders. The meetings focused on practical steps to ensure transparency, inclusive participation, and public confidence in the electoral process.

UNAMI also met with political and community leaders from across Kirkuk’s diverse constituencies. Talks centered on mechanisms for supporting a peaceful and credible vote in a province that has long experienced political tensions. Participants agreed to maintain open communication as Iraq moves closer to election day.

Notably, the United Nations played an advisory and observatory role during Iraq’s October 2021 parliamentary elections. However, it did not participate in the provincial council elections held in December 2023.

UN involvement in 2021 was welcomed by many Iraqi civil society organizations as a vital safeguard for transparency and fairness. At the same time, some political actors criticized the mission’s role as overstepping Iraq’s internal sovereignty.

Ralph Edward Newberry, 63 – Morning Star Publications

It is with very heavy hearts we announce the unexpected passing of Ralph Edward Newberry of Delmar, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and a friend to so many. Ralph, aka Eddie, born in New Brighton, Pa., was a c/o ‘80 NBHS Lions graduate. After enduring life’s ups and downs, enjoying much love, laughter, and countless blessings, Ralph entered Heaven as his life on earth ended.

Ralph was a man of deep convictions; hardheaded, driven and a trusted confidant to many. He had an unending love for his family, and enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, including fishing with the Nanticoke Bass Club, engaging in HAM radio conversations as KA3NTV, and riding motorcycles with the DMA.

His strong work ethic and willingness to mentor others made a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to work alongside him. Ralph was a dedicated electronics filter design engineer for 40 years making his mark in the field of Microwave and RF filters. He worked with several respected companies, including Salisbury Engineering where he got his start in 1985, K&L, Lorch, and finally Millennium. Semi-retiring at the end of 2023. He truly enjoyed his work and would often share stories of the interesting challenges and projects he faced. And if that wasn’t enough to keep himself busy, in 2011 he became a partner with Brian Barnes in the acquisition of Big Mouth Lures.

Ralph’s true joy came from his family. He is survived by his devoted wife and biggest supporter of 43 years, Carol (Fox) Newberry; their number one son, Nathan Newberry; and favorite daughter, Lydia Newberry (Inmer Choc). He was Poppop to Ethan and Adelynn, who always brought a smile to his face and so much joy to his life.

Ralph will be sorely missed by his mother Phyllis Newberry; brother Richard (Lisa) and nephew Tarl; sister-in-law Monica and…
