A small copper earring unearthed during archaeological digs in search of the Native American village linked to the famed Lost Colony was “almost certainly” traded or gifted to the local tribe by Sir Walter Raleigh’s explorers, based on newly-released scientific tests.
Volunteer researchers found the ring and some shards of pottery last summer in archaeological pits at the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island near modern-day Manteo, North Carolina. The First Colony Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to conducting archaeological and historical research on Roanoke Island — has been searching for the Algonquian village encountered during Sir Walter Raleigh’s first expedition to the New World 440 years ago.

“This is an amazing find with an intriguing story to tell,” said Eric Klingelhofer, the foundation’s vice president for research, who led the Elizabethan Gardens dig. “After lying hidden in the ground for more than four centuries, this piece of copper now confirms that we have indeed located the site of Roanoac, the Algonquian village that welcomed the first English explorers in 1584.”
An analysis conducted by Madison Accelerator Laboratory at James Madison University in Harrisonburg found that copper used to make the ring was of European origin, rather than from a North American source, the foundation said in a news release.
The Spanish and French, Klingelhofer said, were never close enough to Roanoke Island during 16th century expeditions to have left the ring at the village.
During the tribe’s first contact with English explorers Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe in 1584, the wife of the village chief treated the men to…
A Lyft driver from Hazle Twp. has been charged with drugging and sexually assaulting a semiconscious man he picked up to give a ride on Tuesday evening, according to state police.
Edwin Valentin Perez, 39, of 1207 Four Seasons Court, is jailed on felony sexual assault charges following the encounter that allegedly took place in the area of 1030 W. Main St. around 5 p.m. Tuesday.
According to state police, Valentin Perez was working as a ride-share driver for Lyft when he picked up the male victim in Nanticoke.
While en route across the West Nanticoke Bridge to Plymouth Twp., Valentin Perez pulled out a small bottle with a black label and a lightning bolt on it, troopers said. The victim reported seeing two cotton balls in the bottle and then feeling like he was going unconscious, according to the complaint.
Troopers described the man as being intoxicated by an “inhalant-type substance.”
With the man incapacitated, Valentin Perez drove him to a dirt road in Plymouth Twp., police said.
Valentin Perez then proceeded to pull down the man’s pants, fondle him and then made the man perform oral sex on him, according to the complaint.
Eventually the victim said he wanted to leave and Valentin Perez then dropped him off at the Family Dollar in Plymouth, troopers said.
The victim reported the incident later Tuesday night, and troopers identified Valentin Perez because he had been involved in a similar incident in May.
In both cases, Valentin Perez was driving a red Toyota RAV-4, license plate LFK-1645, troopers said. Investigators said anyone who thinks they may have been similarly victimized should contact the Troop P Wilkes-Barre Criminal Investigation Unit at 570-822-5515.
Valentin Perez was arrested Wednesday and charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse of an unconscious person, sexual assault and false imprisonment.
Magisterial District Judge Kyle Halesey arraigned him on the charges and set bail at $100,000.

The film isn’t over yet. At least not for Gabby Williams. Just weeks ago, the French star gave Team USA a run for their money as she kept at their tails in the Paris Olympics Finals. Even till the end, she pushed herself with the buzzer beater. Alas, it came short by mere inches. She left the Bercy Arena with a silver medal. However, she has returned to the WNBA to probably avenge the loss and also improve her resume in one of the best professional basketball leagues in the world. But how does that affect the Seattle Storm?
Certainly, the Storm squad and Noelle Quinn would be more than happy to add a star who broke a sweat on a dominant team like the USA. However, their front office just might not be feeling that way if their gamble turns into an epic failure. According to Richard Cohen of the Her Hoop Stats, “Can confirm via source that Gabby Williams signed for the $23,491 that was the pro-rated vet minimum on Tuesday when she signed. So Seattle have $704 in cap space left – technically enough to add a 12th player on the final day of the regular season. #WNBA.”

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks during a campaign event inside the Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Aug. 17, 2024. For the Washington Post
Former President Donald Trump did not hold back as Democratic nominee Kamala Harris delivered her acceptance speech Thursday night, firing off a series of scathing, insulting and sometimes unrelated comments while Harris was speaking.
Trump took to his Truth Social account to make a variety of comments, from accusing Harris of falsehoods to defending his record to making extraneous remarks, such as demanding “WHERE’S HUNTER?” in reference to President Joe Biden’s son.
At the outset of Harris’s speech, Trump took exception to how she thanked the crowd for cheering her onstage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Trump also complained that Democrats referred to Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as “coach,” pointing out that he was an assistant coach of a high school football team.
While Harris recounted her upbringing, Trump urged her to address his three main issues: “Border, Inflation, and Crime!”
“Kamala’s biography won’t lower prices at the Grocery Store, or at the Pump!” he said. He repeatedly criticized her for not already implementing her proposals during her time as vice president, a critique he has previously aimed at Republican and Democratic opponents with long records of government service. Still, Trump himself has already served a term as president.
Trump’s rapid-fire commentary created the unprecedented spectacle of a former president and current nominee firing off critiques of his rival’s acceptance speech in real time. While Harris’s speech was in many ways a traditional convention address, Trump’s unorthodox reaction to it underlined his harsh, visceral style of politics and suggested the former president was glued…
