Arguments for a Delaware Gap national park rouse anger

No Comments on Arguments for a Delaware Gap national park rouse anger

A crowd overflowed the bar area of the Waterwheel Cafe last week when John Donahue, former Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DWGNRA) Superintendent defended a proposal to change the DWGNRA designation to national park. He is now a spokesperson for the New Jersey Sierra Club and presented their proposal authored by him. The national park he advocated would be known as the Delaware River National Park and Lenape National Preserve.

Donahue cited several benefits to the change. Among them was “the prestige of becoming a national park– the highest type of protection of our natural resources. It would make people more aware of the spectacular natural features of the area.” Another benefit he mentioned was an increase in tourism and the concomitant economic boom it would create.

He cited New River Gorge, a national recreation area in West Virginia that drew an additional 600,000 visitors when it became a national park. This could mean that local tourism in the area would reach over a million.

He also mentioned that while people thought hunting would be banned in a national park, huntable areas could be added to the “preserve “ area next to the park. Third, he mentioned that having a national park would encourage private investment around the area. Donahue urged people to read the actual proposal on his website: www.delvalpark.org.

When he lauded the potential tourism growth of 600,000 as a benefit, a gasp was audible in the room. As people became angry, opposition to the proposal became clear, although the event was billed as a “pro” presentation, hosted by Delaware Valley Action!.

When Donahue said that a grass roots movement supported his proposal, someone shouted out, “Not a grass roots movement– there are 4,000 people against it.”

Many expressed concern about inadequate local infrastructure for the influx….

Sun shut down Liberty in win

No Comments on Sun shut down Liberty in win

Jul. 19—MOHEGAN — DiJonai Carrington had not been making enough of an impact off the Connecticut Sun bench for head coach Curt Miller’s liking during Tuesday afternoon’s game, so the two had … a dialogue.

“Curt got (on) me a little bit in the third quarter and I had to respond,” Carrington said.

What exactly did Miller say?

Carrington laughed, paused and replied, “Play hard.”

Carrington did more than enough after her conversation with Miller. She scored 14 of her career-high 18 points during a decisive fourth quarter as the Sun pulled away from the New York Liberty 82-63 before a raucous crowd of 6,288 at Mohegan Sun Arena, many of which were youngsters attending the game as part of Camp Day.

Alyssa Thomas stuffed the stat sheet with 18 points, 13 rebounds, six steals and five assists for Connecticut (17-9) and Brionna Jones had 21 points and eight rebounds. Natisha Hiedeman added 10 points and four assists.

Former UConn standout Bria Hartley, who signed with the Sun on Monday and arrived in town after midnight, played over 12 minutes and had two assists.

Sabrina Ionescu had 13 points, five rebounds and four assists for the Liberty (9-16) and UConn’s Stefanie Dolson added 12 points and six rebounds.

Carrington had been in a shooting slump over the previous 10 games. She shot 25% from the floor during that stretch and averaged almost as many steals (1.2) as made field goals (1.3).

Carrington made 5 of 7 shots and all six of her free throws Tuesday.

Miller, when asked what he told Carrington in the third quarter, began smiling.

“I have conversations with ‘Nai all the time,” Miller said. “(I) just challenged her to be really sound. She can gamble a little bit. She can try to do too much on the offensive end and we needed her defense. We needed her…

Luzerne County culinary camp to cultivate future chefs

No Comments on Luzerne County culinary camp to cultivate future chefs

At the LCCC annual culinary camp, the kid chefs learn to make everything from scratch.

NANTICOKE, Pa. — Some students on summer vacation have traded in their video games and skateboards for saute pans and cutting boards.

Students were inside Luzerne County Community College’s Joseph A. Paglianite Culinary Institute for its annual Kids’ Culinary Camp.

“It teaches kids how to cook and can give them a future if they like because they can know how to cool,” student Chase Glahn of Dallas said.

“What we’re doing is we are really honing in on all of those culinary concepts. So it’s what’s out there right now, you know, amongst all the chefs on the Food Network.

“We’re really working on that flavor fusion, but we’re also working on implementing the cooking methods to go along with each dish that we’re making,” Kimberly McLendon, culinary arts instructor, said.

Organizers with the camp said it’s grown over the years, and this year, many campers have returned from last year to continue honing their culinary skills.

“It’s so fun. I love it here,” student Lauren Hudak of Mountain Top said.

“Because they asked us ‘what do we want to make,’ and I said sushi because I love sushi,” student Ben Field of Kingston said.

“So this week, we are making cream puffs, eclairs. Everything is going to be from scratch. We’re making their own pastry cream. We are doing a beef brisket. So we’re going to learn the art of smoking meats and vegetables,” McLendon said.

The culinary camp continues until Friday in Nanticoke.

Total gaming revenue in Pennsylvania tops $5 billion

No Comments on Total gaming revenue in Pennsylvania tops $5 billion

Total gaming revenue topped $5 billion in the state for the first time in fiscal year 2021-22, which ran from July 1 to June 30, according to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

The board reported Tuesday that total revenue from slots, table games, internet gaming, sports wagering, video gaming terminals and fantasy contests totaled $5,042,967,392 during that time period.

Additionally, the combined tax revenue from gaming during the fiscal year topped $2 billion for the first time. The estimated amount, prior to any adjustments by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, is $2,052,630,568, according to the board.

The previous high for gaming revenue and tax revenue was $3.87 billion and $1.59 billion during 2020-21, according to the board.

The board said the overall revenue increase from the previous high fiscal year can be attributed to a record high in revenue for table games along with continued growth in the sports wagering, internet gaming and video gaming terminal markets.

At Mohegan Sun Pocono in Plains Twp., table games revenue increased more than 18% from nearly $28.4 million in 2020-21 to nearly $33.6 million in 2021-22. Slot machine revenue increased 31.5% from nearly $145.4 million to nearly $191.2 million in that time period.

At Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County, table games revenue increased more than 9% from nearly $38.5 million in 2020-21 to about $42 million in 2021-22. Slot machine revenue increased nearly 4% from about $135.45 million to about $140.8 million in that time period.

In the same time period, both Mohegan Sun Pocono and Mount Airy saw decreases in both internet gaming and sports wagering revenue.

At Mohegan Sun Pocono, internet gaming revenue declined about 22.6% from about $31 million to about $24 million and sports wagering revenue decreased about 4.5% from about $3.4 million to nearly $3.27 million.

At Mount Airy, internet gaming revenue declined about 25%…

Fishing tournament set to combat two invasive species in local waterways

No Comments on Fishing tournament set to combat two invasive species in local waterways

SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury University biological officials are set to hold a local fishing tournament aimed exclusively at two species of invasive fish that experts say are damaging local waterways and ecosystems.

Dr. Noah Bressman, Salisbury University assistant professor of biological studies, and graduate assistant Zachary Crum are combating invasive species in local waterways, and Eastern Shore anglers can help.

Fishing hobbyists and professionals alike are invited to the Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Tournament, presented by SU Saturday, July 30 (rain date: Sunday, July 31) at Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown, MD. Lines in at 6 a.m. and weigh-in at 2 p.m., followed by awards and data collection.

The two invasive species are blue catfish and northern snakehead fish, which officials say are damaging local ecosystems and waterways, and need to be studied further in an effort to combat their growing populations across the region.

Thanks to a grant from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the free tournament features some $2,000 in prizes. All blue catfish and northern snakeheads caught will be provided to Bressman’s lab to continue research to learn more about their effects on the local ecosystem, with a focus on diet, growth speed, and reproduction rates.

“The blue catfish are particularly nasty in that they make up in some tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, up to three-quarters of the biomass of the river, so what that means is if you were to take a net and scoop out every living thing, even the microscopic things out of the water, and weigh it all, catfish would make up to three-quarters of that weight,” Dr. Bressman explained. “And so far in our research we’ve been seeing everything from striped bass, to blue crabs, and even adult ducks in their stomach, and so it shows that they…

Evolution Opens Blackjack, Roulette Live Dealer Games In Connecticut

No Comments on Evolution Opens Blackjack, Roulette Live Dealer Games In Connecticut

For Connecticut online casino players, the wait is officially over for live dealer games. Evolution Connecticut studio live dealer games have the digital table, quite literally, in the state.

Evolution ended a mandatory soft-launch period for its new studio in Connecticut on Monday, transitioning to a full launch. However, the product still faces some limitations that will hopefully end soon.

A soft launch of Evolution casino games in Connecticut

According to a press release from Evolution, the studio in Fairfield launched its product for all players on Monday, July 18. At full strength, the studio should employ almost 400 people.

The soft-launch period that preceded this launch is a standard operating procedure in Connecticut. When online casinos and online sports betting first began in the state, the operators followed the same practice.

Unfortunately, the wait continues for Evolution Gaming‘s full complement of live dealer games. Currently, the limitations on the type of games available have carried over from the soft-launch period.

Both online casino operators will offer live dealer games

The press release further states that Evolution’s studio presentations are now available on both DraftKings Casino and the FanDuel-powered Mohegan Sun Casino. However, only blackjack and roulette games are currently on the menu.

Evolution’s full offerings list several more games, like:

Baccarat
Craps
Dragon Tiger
Poker variants
Super Sic Bo

The release says more of those games will be available “later this year.” The eventual accessibility of all live dealer games, especially under Evolution’s brand, will put the online casino products in Connecticut on par with the same in any other US state.
