H.S. Baseball/Softball: Holy Redeemer baseball increases first-place lead

WILKES-BARRE — Holy Redeemer pitcher Dino DiMauro accomplished two things Tuesday afternoon.

First, he helped the Royals tighten their grip on first place in Division 2 of Wyoming Valley Conference baseball. Secondly, he got the fans out of the frigid weather rather quickly.

DiMauro threw a two-hitter as Redeemer shut out Nanticoke Area 3-0 on a 51-degree cloudy day at Gibby Field.

Before a crowd with many in heavy coats and some with blankets, Redeemer improved to 8-1 in the division and 11-3 overall with a victory that took only 95 minutes. Nanticoke Area (5-3, 8-7) dropped from second place to third, switching spots with idle Lake-Lehman (6-3, 7-6). The teams play 12 divisional games.

“From last year going like 5-14 to starting with a nine-game win streak, it feels really good,” DiMauro said. “Everyone’s hopes are high.”

Redeemer last won a divisional title in 2016.

DiMauro gave up a one-out single to right to Derek Shemanski in the third inning, but came back with two of his five strikeouts. Lucas Stachowiak opened the Nanticoke Area fifth with an infield single. The Trojans eventually ended up with a first-and-third situation with two outs, but Redeemer catcher Kayden Stevenson threw out a runner trying to steal to end the threat.

Nanticoke had one base runner the final two innings who was erased in a rundown.

“(DiMauro) mixes it up really well,” Redeemer coach Ryan Knowles said. “He’s our veteran, our leader, our captain. He is very confident out there. He threw a great game today.”

Redeemer took a 2-0 lead in the fourth. Luke Kopec opened the inning by bouncing a double down the left-field line. He moved to third on a flyout to right. KJ Gryboski then walked and took second on…

When it comes to energy independence on Wisconsin’s tribal reservations, ‘actions are more than words.’ How one tribe is taking action.

The plan is to eventually work with Menominee Nation to build its own tribal reservation-wide solar energy utility service.

KESHENA – Dozens of volunteers learned how to install and operate solar panels on the Menominee Reservation last week as part of the tribe’s efforts to achieve energy independence.

The training took place at the College of Menominee Nation campus in Keshena and the solar panels installed will be used to power one of the college’s buildings.

“It was exciting to see how quickly things are progressing,” said Menominee Chairwoman Gena Kakkak in a statement. “It’s been a short time from when we approved funding to work towards renewable energy and partnered with Indigenized Energy. Today, we see the plan and development moving forward.”

In August, the Menominee Nation started working with Indigenized Energy, which is based on the Standing Rock Reservation in North and South Dakota.

The organization’s founder and executive director, Cody Two Bears, said the initiative was born from the Indigenous-led movement to protest and stop and the Dakota Access Oil Pipeline project on Standing Rock in 2016.

Indigenized is looking to help tribal nations across the U.S. become energy independent and help move societies from dependence on fossil fuels, which harm the environment, Two Bears said.

The training at the college will help empower local community members with the skills to develop and maintain solar energy, rather than having an outside company install the panels and then leave, he added.

Roxanne Johnson, an elder member of the Ho-Chunk Nation who lives on the nearby Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Reservation, said she signed her and her husband up as soon as she heard about the training program.

“It’s an example of what can be done,” she said. “I’m very excited by what the Menominee are…

Lessons in Lenape

May 1—ANDERSON — As he strolled slowly around a set of tables set up in a large square, Joe Cronk stopped occasionally and greeted each of his students with a simple question, spoken in the Lenape language.

Kulamalsi hàch?

How are you? The replies came in halting voices.

Osòmi. Fine.

That was one choice the students in Cronk’s Lenape Lessons class could use to let their teacher know how their day was going. The exercise was a preamble to the day’s lesson, which included basic Lenape vocabulary and a discussion on clothing and accessories used by the Lenape, an Algonquin tribe which populated the area that is present-day Anderson.

“The Lenape language is a dying language,” Cronk told the 15 students. “No one speaks it natively anymore.”

The six-week course is being offered to fourth graders at Tenth Street Elementary School as part of Anderson Community Schools’ budding partnership with the Delaware Tribe of Indians. Following the district’s decision to discontinue the high school basketball pregame routine involving the school’s Indian mascot and maiden, conversations with Chief Brad KillsCrow of the Delaware Tribe became centered on ways the district could create opportunities to provide updated material for course work in classes throughout the district.

Cronk’s class, which is scheduled to meet each Wednesday through mid-May, is the first product of those efforts.

“Part of our agreement with the Delaware Tribe, when we were talking about mascots and community history, was that we would promote authentic history of the Anderson area,” Cronk said after the class was dismissed. “It’s important that they learn what the authentic history is.”

Cronk said he began studying material for the course about a year ago. He said that standards put forth by the Indiana Department of Education mandate course work on the state’s history starting in fourth grade. The Lenape Lessons course, he noted,…

Chief public defender replaced in defending Nanticoke man on fatal drug driving charges

WILKES-BARRE — A Nanticoke man charged in the drug driving death of James Mahon in Plymouth last year was appointed a new defense attorney Tuesday due to a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship with his previous lawyer, Luzerne County Chief Public Defender Steven M. Greenwald.

Jose Calo, 58, of Pine Street, was under the influence of fentanyl when he crashed his Ford Explorer that killed Mahon, 86, in the area of 10 E. Main St. on June 25, according to court records.

Greenwald graduated in 1977 from Wyoming Valley West High School when Mahon was an assistant principal.

Calo when presented with a plea agreement offered by the District Attorney’s Office in March began to express his disappointment that Greenwald had a prior “relationship” with Mahon, according to court records.

Greenwald said he had no relationship with Mahon other than the fact Mahon was an assistant principal at the high school he attended. Greenwald said he had not spoken with Mahon in nearly 45 years.

Despite the near half century of not seeing or speaking with Mahon, Calo felt there was a conflict with Greenwald defending him on charges of homicide by vehicle, homicide by vehicle while driving under a controlled substance, accidents involving death, driving under a controlled substance, driving with a suspended license and several traffic violations.

Since March, Calo refused to meet with Greenwald and members of the public defender’s office at the county correctional facility.

Greenwald filed a motion for a conflict attorney to be appointed to represent Calo.

In court Tuesday, President Judge Michael T. Vough said defendants have a right to be represented by an attorney but don’t have the right to chose an attorney if they are unable to afford one themselves.

Greenwald said the…

Reconnecting with the culture of the Hudson Valley’s native inhabitants

At their 95-acre forest farm and camp near the Greene County town of Cairo, Justin Wexler and Anna Plattner are re-creating the landscape as it was known to the native inhabitants of the region. Each weekend throughout the summer, they invite visitors to the property, Wild Hudson Valley, to learn about edible plants, medicine, folklore, history, and both ancient and modern forest farming practices.

Guided nature walks and workshops are geared toward all ages. Programs for families help kids and adults connect with nature. For an even more immersive experience, visitors can stay overnight at one of four eco-campsites. 

Unlike most nature education programs, Anna and Justin emphasize the role of native peoples in relating to the land. Justin’s fascination with the natural world began when he was a child growing up in the Hudson Valley.

Anna (and Corinna) with July’s Wild Harvest Box.

“I realized by time I was eight or nine that the people who would know the land best were the people who lived here for generations but were driven out of their homeland,” he said. By his teens, he was trying to visualize the life of the Lenape, who inhabited the area before they were displaced by European settlers. 

As he researched the history of the Hudson Valley and its occupants, Justin made connections with descendants of the Lenape, now dispersed to communities in Ontario, Wisconsin and Oklahoma. After befriending residents of those communities, he hosted Lenape people who came to visit their homeland. He continues to make links with organizations that would help represent their culture and history.

Anna also grew up in the…
