POULIN HAT TRICK GRANTS PENS 6-2 WIN ON STAR WARS NIGHT

BOXSCORE

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins defeated the Laval Rocket, 6-2, during the team’s annual Star Wars Night at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.

No Jedi mind tricks were necessary for rookie Sam Poulin to score the first hat trick of his career. His three goals on Saturday night helped secure the win for his club and improve Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to 24-23-4-4.

It didn’t take long for the two teams to switch the offense into hyperdrive. Poulin tallied his first of the night with a wicked shot on the rush at 1:14 of the opening frame. However, the Rocket responded with a goal by Joël Teasdale 26 seconds later.

Poulin found twine again four minutes into regulation, and Chris Bigras lifted the Penguins to a 3-1 lead at 12:12 of the first period.

After a quiet second stanza, things opened up again in the third. Alex Nylander notched a power-play goal less than two minutes into the final frame, putting Wilkes-Barre/Scranton ahead, 4-1.

Now turned to the Dark Side, former Penguin Jean-Sébastien Dea cut the Rocket’s deficit back down to two by setting up Raphaël Harvey-Pinard for a backdoor tap-in during a four-on-three man advantage. But this time it was the Penguins’ turn to strike back in swift fashion. Félix Robert converted on a breakaway 1:12 after Harvey-Pinard’s power-play goal.

Poulin rounded out the scoring and completed the hat trick with an empty-net goal with 1:57 left in regulation.

Goaltender Louis Domingue turned in a stellar performance for the Penguins, as he made 37 saves to earn the victory.

L-P Guindon started the game in net for Laval, but was pulled after allowing three goals on six shots faced. Kevin Poulin steered away 20 of the 22 shots he…

NANTICOKE — Greater Nanticoke Area School District’s spring break will run April 14-16, exactly as scheduled, Superintendent Ron Grevera announced at the start of Thursday’s regular monthly meeting. But that’s actually unusual, he added after the meeting.

Spring break is often eaten up by snow make up days, something that has become a rarity in schools since the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020. Districts developed extensive remote-only education abilities on the Internet, and the state introduced “Flexible Instruction Days” as a recognized use of the technology, which most local districts have been taking advantage of this winter.

One change was made to the April calendar: The monthly board meeting was moved to April 21. It had been slated, as usual, for the second Thursday of the Month, but this April that will be the Thursday before Easter.

The board also:

• Accepted the resignations of Paul Gerrity and Chynna Jackson as assistant softball coaches, School Psychologist Rachel Kozich, and cleaners Bonnie Long and Serah Purcel

• Approved use of the Elementary Center gym by Nanticoke Area Little League for player tryouts March 19-20.

Massacre remembered in Gnadenhutten

Cindy Davis  |  Times-Reporter correspondent

GNADENHUTTEN — It was a somber event, fitting for the remembrance of the massacre of 96 Christian Delaware Indians, on March 8, 1782, by Pennsylvania militia.

The ceremony opened with a prayer in Munsee, from Theresa Johnson of Moraviantown, Canada, a prayer in Mohican, by Larry Madden of Wisconsin, and a prayer in Lenape was presented by Levi Randoll of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. More than 100 people came out on this cold day to honor those who had needlessly lost their lives. A ceremonial fire was lit and was permitted to burn throughout the day. Many performed their tribal songs and exchanged stories.

Those who spoke during the program acknowledged the larger than usual crowd that had assembled.

“We still talk about Gnadenhutten all these years later,” said Randoll. “Many from Oklahoma don’t have the ways and means to get here. We’re going to take what we see today back home and share it with them.”

Daniel “Strongwalker” Thomas, of Anadarko, Oklahoma, insisted that something good could come from such a moment. “You can help us heal from this moment even though it is a solemn occasion,” he said.

There was local representation as well. County Commissioner Chris Abbuhl, Joe Bonamico, of Trumpet in the Land, Wendy Zucal, of Dennison Railroad, and Pastor of the Dover Moravian Church John Wallace, for Schoenbrunn. Each gave a brief introduction and spoke about the massacre. The Indian Valley High history class gathered and could later be seen taking tours of the cabins.

Following the service, those in attendance could place tobacco on the burial mound and leave a prayer.

“This tobacco is from Wisconsin and was discovered about five years ago in a seed cache. The seeds are thought to be 400-600 years old,” explained Madden.

A Traditional Native feast was served that included berries and bean soup, with a plate of the food…

Other tribes join EBCI in opposition to Congressional route for federal recognition   

 

By SCOTT MCKIE B.P.

One Feather Staff

 

Several other federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations have joined with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) to oppose groups seeking federal recognition as an Indian tribe through Congressional means.  A letter was sent to Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) who serve as the chairperson and vice chairperson for the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on Monday, Feb. 28 that was signed by Principal Chief Richard G. Sneed and eight more tribal leaders.

The letter states, “…we respectfully request that you defer consideration of groups seeking federal acknowledgment to the Department of the Interior’s Office of Federal Acknowledgment (OFA).”

The letter is signed by Chief Sneed; Chief Ben Barnes, Shawnee Tribe; Chief Cyrus Ben, Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians; Chairwoman Lori Gooday Ware, Fort Sill Apache Tribe; President Deborah Dotson, Delaware Nation; Gov. Bill Anoatubby, Chickasaw Nation; Assistant Chief Jeremy Johnson, Delaware Tribe of Indians; President Jeffrey Stiffarm, Fort Belknap Indian Community; and Chairwoman Margo Gray, United Indian Nations of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.

The letter went on to state, “Federally acknowledged tribes are sovereigns with significant governmental powers impacting both Indians and non-Indians, including the authority to tax, regulate activity within tribal territory, and take away personal freedoms through the exercise of criminal jurisdiction.  Acknowledgment decisions should be made on merit and not politics.”

As of now, a total of four bills have been introduced into Congress that would provide federal recognition to a group including:

The tribal leaders state in the letter, “If the Congress enacts any of these bills, hundreds of other groups claiming to be tribes also will seek federal legislation to circumvent the OFA process.”

For years, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) have opposed federal recognition for the Lumbees.  Multiple…
