No Comments on Nanticoke, PA – Injury Crash Shuts Down W Main St Near Turkey Hill

Nanticoke, PA (February 25, 2025) – A vehicle crash with injuries led to the closure of West Main Street near the Turkey Hill convenience store in Nanticoke on Tuesday afternoon.

The accident was reported at approximately 4:33 p.m., prompting an emergency response from local authorities. First responders arrived to assess the injured and provide medical assistance. Officials have not yet confirmed the number of vehicles involved or the severity of injuries sustained.

Due to the crash, West Main Street was temporarily shut down as crews worked to assist those involved and clear the roadway. Authorities have not provided details regarding the cause of the accident, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Our thoughts are with those injured in this crash, and we hope for their full recovery.

Road Closures and Crash Risks in Nanticoke

Crashes in busy areas like West Main Street can create significant traffic delays and safety concerns. Intersections and commercial areas often see increased accident risks due to congestion, frequent stops, and turning vehicles.

Accidents that result in road closures indicate the severity of the crash, as emergency crews must ensure safe traffic flow while providing aid to those involved. Injured victims may face medical challenges that require treatment and recovery time, leading to financial burdens from medical bills and lost income.

Understanding legal options after a crash can help injured individuals seek compensation for their damages. If you or someone you know has been hurt in an accident, Local Accident Reports can provide resources and guidance during this difficult time.

BIG Brother star Sam Pepper looks very different 15 years after he shot to fame on on the show.

Sam, 35, shot to notoriety during a foul-mouthed row with Josie Gibson as they practised a dance routine for a task.

Sam looks unrecognisable now with a red and black mohican in a recent post.

He posed for photos at Tokyo DisneySea as he showed off the eye-catching hairdo.

Sam captioned it: “Boys will be boys,” which prompted fans to say they liked the new look.

His taste of Big Brother fame spurred him on to build a controversial YouTube career and a petition to shut down his channel after a bad-taste prank in which he pretended to kill his friend got more than 200,000 backers.

Along with Logan Paul, Sam filmed a video lassoing women on the streets of Santa Monica and he later denied allegations of sexual assault.

The backlash began after Sam posted his Fake Hand Ass Pinch Prank online.

The video received a number of complaints and was taken down in days.

He then uploaded another video of a woman doing the same to men and that was also removed within minutes.

Sam later admitted it was all part of a social experiment to highlight sexual harassment against men.

Bain Capital Takes Control of Mohegan INSPIRE as MGE Defaults on Debt

No Comments on Bain Capital Takes Control of Mohegan INSPIRE as MGE Defaults on Debt

All seemed to be going well for the Mohegan INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in South Korea. Unfortunately for the ambitious tribal operator, financial hurdles led to private equity firm Bain Capital securing a controlling stake in Mohegan’s Korea-facing division, MGE Korea.

In the aftermath of the takeover, Mohegan vowed to continue to negotiate an outcome that would be favorable to its investors.

Bain Accelerated the MGE Korea Mezzanine Loan

MGE reportedly defaulted on around $275 million in loans, despite the promising financials of its INSPIRE resort. Strategically situated on Yeongjong Island, this daring project represented Mohegan’s ambitions to grow on an international scale.

Mohegan INSPIRE opened its doors in January 2024 and launched casino gaming shortly after. As the largest integrated resort in South Korea, the property sought to capitalize on the demand for casino entertainment amid the rapid growth of Asian gaming.

Reports, however, claimed that MGE Korea failed to repay the loans it had borrowed in 2021. The loans were reportedly taken from various sources and helped Mohegan with its $1.6 billion project. Bain Capital was MGE Korea’s principal lender.

As MGE Korea defaulted on its loans, Bain Capital acquired a controlling stake in the Korean arm. The private equity firm confirmed that on Monday but refused to disclose further details about this move.

Mohegan Officials Confirmed the Takeover

Mohegan officials also commented on the matter, confirming Bain’s takeover of MGE Korea. The company elaborated that it had tried to prevent this scenario by negotiating amendments to its loan agreements. Unfortunately for Mohegan, Bain Capital rejected the proposals.

We made several good faith proposals for amending the financial covenants that are consistent with market precedents. However, Bain Capital has dismissed those proposals and provided counterproposals that would result in Bain Capital receiving large payments…

Led by Department of Records and Information Services, NYC Will Begin Transcribing Records Dating to 1660 to Help Historians and Everyday New Yorkers Locate Records Documenting Enslaved New Yorkers

City Calling for Volunteers to Help Transcribing Records as It Builds Searchable Database

Announcement Comes as Adams Administration Commemorates 400th Anniversary of New York City and Black History Month

WATCH: Department of Records and Information Services Explain the Historical Records and Its Importance

NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced an ambitious project to make accessible the historical records of thousands of formerly enslaved New Yorkers who lived in the five boroughs when the practice of slavery was legal here. Led by the New York City Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS), the project will transcribe digitized historical records dating from 1660 to 1827— when slavery became illegal in New York. Transcribed data will help historians and everyday New Yorkers locate the records of enslaved New Yorkers and even, in some cases, trace familial roots. To accomplish the project, the Adams administration is calling for volunteers to transcribe the digital records and help create searchable data. To learn more about the project, visit the digital archive, or volunteer, New Yorkers can visit Archives.nyc. This announcement comes as the city celebrates Black History Month and all the contributions Black New Yorkers have made to New York City, as well as the city’s 400th anniversary this year.

“We cannot build a better, brighter future without first acknowledging and accepting our past,” said Mayor Adams. “This ambitious project allows everyday New Yorkers to understand the history of enslaved people who shaped our city into what it is today. For too long, enslaved people were forgotten and lost to the past. Today, with projects like…

No Comments on UPDATED: Bain Capital takes control of Mohegan’s South Korean resort

Mohegan, the gaming and entertainment company that owns Mohegan Sun, acknowledged late Tuesday night that Bain Capital, the Boston-based investment firm, has taken control of Inspire, the nearly $1.7 billion resort Mohegan opened a year ago in Incheon, South Korea.

Bain, the principal lender to MGE Korea Limited, the Mohegan subsidiary that owned Inspire, announced Monday it was exercising its right to take control of the subsidiary after an event of default.

In a statement posted on its website, Mohegan said that while it did not satisfy certain financial covenant tests, it had not missed a loan payment of principal or interest.

“Specifically, the loan held by Bain Capital does not mature until May 2027, with no principal payments due before the maturity date,” Mohegan said. “We made several good faith proposals for amending the financial covenants that are consistent with market precedents. However, Bain Capital has dismissed those proposals and provided counterproposals that would result in Bain Capital receiving large payments ahead of other Inspire lenders.”

An agent for Bain and other lenders behind a $275 million loan put Mohegan on notice last week that they had “accelerated” the debt, meaning they were demanding repayment of the entire balance of the loan.

“Further,” Ari Glazer, Mohegan’s chief financial officer, told investors on a quarterly earnings call, “the agent and Bain Capital, the principal lender, have purported to take certain remedies, including appropriation of the shares of MGE Korea Limited.”

Mohegan executives said during the call they were considering “appropriate responses” to the lenders’ notice.

Bain Capital said the change in Inspire’s ownership will have no impact on the resort’s…

NORTH BAY—Opening the Anishinabek Nation’s 2025 Lands and Resources Forum on February 11 in North Bay, Ont., Ookomis Donna Debassige from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory recited the Chi-Naaknigewin preamble, Ngo Dwe Waangizid Anishnaabe (One Anishinaabe Family).

Nipissing First Nation Gookmis Evelyn McLeod gave Anishinaabemowin words of wisdom, as did Mishoomis Richard Assinewai of Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory, the Anishinabek Nation’s Head Getzit.

Mishoomis Assinewai reminded Forum participants to care for our gifts the Anishinaabe way.

“It’s time to start rising. To start speaking. Start speaking for the lands, the people, language, treaties – everything. Start speaking for it. Protect it. We have a gift in that Preamble (Ngo Dwe Waangizid Anishinaabe). We do it our way, not somebody else telling us how to do something.”

During the Anishinabek Nation Leadership panel, Southeast Regional Chief Marsha Smoke commended the Lands and Resources Department for all of the data collected and worked on and the input from communities, providing the foundation for political advocacy. Northwest Regional Chief Mel Hardy said the province is coming across the land, not taking consideration for the Spirit of the Land.

Northwest Regional Chief Hardy has been working alongside Angel Ransom, a Nak’azdli Whut’en First Nation member who helps communities with environmental assessments. Ransom is the vice-president of environmental services with First Nations Major…

Plenty of area girls wrestlers set to compete at regionals

No Comments on Plenty of area girls wrestlers set to compete at regionals

Central Mountain, Bald Eagle Area, Jersey Shore and Bellefonte have a number of talented girls wrestlers in their lineup at various weights. And that talent translated to success at the District 6 and District 4 championships recently.

The next step for those standouts from their schools is this weekend’s Central Regional tournament on Saturday at Milton High School, which features a number of talented wrestlers from throughout Pennsylvania looking to get to the state tournament.

One wrestler who already knows what it takes to get to the state tournament is Central Mountain’s Kendall Wagner. The two-sport standout — who plays basketball for Bucktail’s girls basketball team — took silver this year at 170 pounds at districts and is set to medal once again at regionals.

Last winter, Wagner took silver at regionals and became the Wildcats’ first girls wrestler state placewinner as she took eighth.

Wagner, however, is in a brutal bracket this year at 170. The field features the top two state-ranked wrestlers in the state in Punxsutawney senior Jael Miller and Greater Nanticoke junior Sierra Ripka.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Express Central Mountain’s Austynn Falls wrestles during a tournament this season. The sophomore is set to represent the Wildcats at the Central Regional girls wrestling tournament, Saturday at Milton.

Miller is ranked No. 1 in the state with a 24-0 record and won the District 9 title while Ripka is ranked No. 2 and won the District 2 title. Wagner is on Ripka’s side of the bracket.

Wagner is 22-6 this year and will face District 2 fourth-place finisher Annalia Ward in the first round. If Wagner earns a victory, she’ll have to wrestle either Athens’ Abigail Wagner (22-8), the District 4 champion, or Huntingdon’s Lillian Casterline, the District 6 fifth-place finisher.

While having the top…
