The High Limit Room renovation, designed by JCJ Architecture and built by Swinerton, includes a series of planned updates to the space. The redesigned area will feature refreshed décor, upgraded audio systems, video walls, and energy-efficient LED lighting. The gaming floor is planned to include 100 slot machines, including 12 bar-top units, along with table games such as Double Deck Blackjack, Shoe Blackjack, Baccarat, and Pai Gow. The renovation plans also include a more private player area with dedicated beverage service, as well as a new bar offering a selection of specialty spirits, including Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace OFC 25 Year, Traveller, and Harrah’s Resort Southern California’s Blanton’s Barrett, alongside a menu of craft cocktails.

HS FOOTBALL: Shimko named head coach at Nanticoke Area

NANTICOKE — The way Joe Shimko sees it, he’s not taking over as Nanticoke Area’s football coach with his eyes toward the future.

In his mind, the future starts now.

Actually, it may have begun back in December when he was selected as the new head football coach.

Shimko’s hiring was not made official until the school board met Thursday night. But since early December, Shimko has been running two weight room sessions. The first is for student-athletes just getting out of school, and the second is later in the day for those who participate in a winter sport.

“I’m the fourth coach in three years,” Shimko said. “There has been a lot of mix there. It’s just about caring for the future of the district and the kids here.”

Longtime Nanticoke Area coach Ron Bruza retired after the 2023 season. The school board then turned to Scott Dennis to take over. Dennis died the week of the team’s first game in 2024. After two weeks, Bruza came back to take over the program for the remainder of the season.

Following the 2024 season, Bruza returned to retirement and the board hired Damon Saxon. The program finished last season 0-10 and the position was then opened up.

Shimko, a 2014 graduate of Nanticoke Area who played football under Bruza and eventually coached in the program, has a solid understanding of the current players.

“I have had most of them since they were in seventh grade,” Shimko said. “We have good talent and we need a good offseason. We need a good weight room — that is where it all starts. We have many young kids showing up every day. It’s something to build toward the future. I would like to come in and turn it around on the first day.”

Tribes caution members about ICE detention

Native American tribal leaders are concerned about members getting caught up in the raids, arrests and detentions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

Leaders of the Stockbridge-Munsee, Menominee and other tribes are urging members to be aware of ICE raids and to be prepared if they are detained.

“ICE has already detained Native Americans throughout the United States, and we need to be prepared here in Wisconsin,” Stockbridge-Munsee leaders posted on social media. “The Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Council is working diligently to ensure the safety and security of its citizens, especially those tribal members living off reservation.”

Menominee tribal leaders said that while the reservation is not the focus of federal enforcement, the tribe recognizes there are members who live, work and travel in areas where there is ICE activity.

“Being prepared and informed is the best way to respond safely if contacted,” officials posted on social media.

Tribal leaders are putting in place a safety net to assist tribal members who may need help. They are urging members to be proactive.

“Be proactive. Carry your tribal, state and/or federal IDs wherever you go,” the Stockbridge-Munsee post continued. “A birth certificate is another form of documentation that could help. If you are stopped, cooperate and remain respectful.”

Tribal IDs are official documents, but there have been reports these have not always been recognized by ICE, Menominee leaders said.

“Tribal members are encouraged to carry additional identification, such as a state-issued ID, birth certificate or a passport, particularly when traveling through any known areas with reported ICE activity,” they said.

At least five Native Americans were detained by ICE in the Minneapolis area earlier this month — four Oglala Lakota men and one Red Lake Ojibwe man.

Wyoming Area Warriors vs. Greater Nanticoke Area Trojans + How To Watch

Wyoming Area is 2-8 against Greater Nanticoke Area since February of 2021 but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Friday. The Warriors will square off against the Trojans at 7:00 p.m.

On Wednesday, Wyoming Area came up short against Wyoming Seminary College Prep and fell 34-23. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can’t take it too hard given the team’s big disadvantage in MaxPreps’ Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 428th, while the Blue Knights are ranked 178th).

Wyoming Area’s loss shouldn’t obscure the performances of Londyn Sobeck, who posted nine points and six boards, and Jailynn Park, who scored seven points along with six rebounds and five steals.

Meanwhile, Greater Nanticoke Area waltzed into their contest on Wednesday with three straight wins… but they left with four. They walked away with a 45-38 victory over the Royals.

Greater Nanticoke Area’s win bumped their record up to 10-1. As for Wyoming Area, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-9.

Wyoming Area was taken down by Greater Nanticoke Area 46-15 when the teams last played back in December of 2025. Can the Warriors avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll find out soon enough.

Mohegan Sun invites audiences to go beyond their wildest…

Mohegan Sun

In a culture defined by infinite scrolling, recycled content, and predictable weekend plans, surprise has quietly become a luxury. That insight sits at the heart of “Beyond Your Wildest,” the new omnichannel campaign from JOAN and Mohegan Sun, marking the agency’s first work since being named Mohegan Sun’s agency of record in 2025.

Launching January 13 across CTV, OOH, digital, and social, the campaign reframes Mohegan Sun not simply as a casino or resort, but as a living entertainment ecosystem where no two experiences ever unfold the same way.

Rather than leaning into unattainable glamour or fantasy escapism, “Beyond Your Wildest” taps into something more human: the thrill of discovery. The campaign celebrates those unscripted, lore-making moments that can only happen when routine breaks and expectation gives way to surprise.

Whether it’s stumbling into an unforgettable live performance, encountering an unexpected pop-up culinary experience, or opening the Mohegan Sun Online Casino and thinking, “I did not see that coming,” the brand becomes a catalyst for stories worth retelling.

Anchored by two 30-second hero films, Cannonball and Play It Again, the work positions unpredictability as the ultimate draw and the rarest form of indulgence. Watch below:

“What excited us, with our Mohegan Sun partners, was everything that happens around winning,” said Mohammad Diaa, Executive Creative Director at JOAN. “The surprise. The moments you didn’t plan for. The feeling that even if you’ve experienced it a hundred times, something can still catch you off guard. That sense of wonder is the real draw, and that’s what we wanted the work to capture.”

JOAN’s approach unites Mohegan Sun’s physical destination and its digital platforms under a single, cohesive brand vision….
