John Kotsko | October 21, 2023

With the game tied at 14, Shamokin needed big plays. The Indians got a fumble recovery on the opening drive in the second half. Followed by a big third down catch by Chase Pensyl that ended in a three yard touchdown run by freshman Logan Steele to give Shamokin their first lead of the game and kept the lead. Jayce Ginck scored two rushing touchdowns as Shamokin took a 28-14 victory on the road at Nanticoke. “We did a fantastic job defensively in the second half.” said Shamokin head coach Marc Persing. “We didn’t give up too many rushing yards. Our defensive coordinator made a fantastic adjustment and we took care of business in the second half.”

After the Trojan defense forced a three and out to start the game. Nanticoke drove down the field, ending with a 13 yard touchdown run by Zack Fox to make it 8-0 with a two point conversion from Ryan Wiaterowski with 6:14 remaining in the first quarter. The Indians ended up driving down to the 29 yard line but the Trojans defense held up and forced a punt after losses of 1 on first and second down then a false start and an incompletion on third down.

Nanticoke got the ball at their own five yard line. They had a third and 3 at their own 12, they fumbled and the Indians recovered. At the start of the second quarter, Shamokin faced a third and four at the Trojan six yard line and Brad Latshaw found Pensyl for a six yard score and the PAT cut…

Developer adds affordable housing to East Side casino plan to sweeten bid

A developer vying for one of New York’s coveted casino licenses has added hundreds of affordable housing units to the proposal in a bid to strengthen its position in a crowded and competitive race.

The Soloviev Group wants to create an entertainment district dubbed “Freedom Plaza” by the United Nations in Midtown East with a casino, hotel, green space and shopping. They announced Thursday that their plan will now also include 1,325 new units of housing, 513 of which would be affordable.

If built, the developer said it would be the most newly constructed affordable units in the area in at least a decade. The housing would only move forward alongside the casino.

The inclusion of housing is aimed at distinguishing Soloviev and their partner Mohegan, in a field of around a dozen applicants vying for one of three lucrative downstate gaming licenses from the state, which would allow venues to have table games such as poker.

“We just see this as an extension of our responsibilities to the City of New York,” Soloviev CEO Michael Hershman told the Daily News. “This is completely voluntary on our part, we decided that we would like to help the city manage its housing issues.”

New Yorkers have largely been resistant to the various casino proposals thus far, citing concerns such as the potential for increased crime, traffic and gambling addiction. But applicants have been trying to court public opinion, sponsoring everything from children’s sports in Brooklyn to a private bus service in the Bronx.

Soloviev is also hosting an enormous light installation at the proposed site later this year.

Freedom Plaza would span over six acres on land already owned by Soloviev from 38th to 41st St. east of First Ave. by the East River. In…

Tractor-trailer rollover in Newtown kills 7 cows, 6 euthanized: State Police

The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — After a tractor-trailer crash on Interstate 84 in Newtown early Thursday morning, seven cows have died from their injuries and six more were euthanized.

Sandy Hook Volunteer firefighters and State Police  were called to the scene of a tractor-trailer rollover on the I-84 West Exit 10 off-ramp around 3:30 a.m. 44 cows were determined to be inside the trailer, state police said, 

Connecticut State Police said that based on the injuries sustained by the cows and the risk of exposure to hazardous conditions resulting from the rollover, a state veterinarian was contacted about the injured cows and made the decision that approximately six of the cows should be euthanized. 

The veterinarian requested that Troopers euthanize the cows; the cows were euthanized on scene.

It was then determined that seven of the cows perished as a result of the accident. The truck driver was not injured.

All westbound lanes of I-84 were shut down for a time in the interest of public safety.

The driver was not injured, according to firefighters.

Microsoft launches fall 2023 Xbox ad campaign with new commercial that includes Hellblade II

xbox

Officially, the holiday shopping season doesn’t start for over a month, but Microsoft isn’t wasting any time launching its big fall/holiday marketing campaign for its Xbox game console.

Xbox Wire states that the new campaign has the tagline “Power Your Dreams”. Microsoft has already posted a new three minute long live action commercial to jump-start the campaign. It will be shown during the NFL Thursday Night Football game on Amazon Prime Video later tonight and will be shown globally through the holiday season.

The commercial itself is called Wake Up and Dream, and shows a young gamer dreaming about going to video game worlds like the ones in Starfield, Forza Motorsport, and even a third-party game, Cyberpunk 2077.

The most interesting world the main character enters is from a game that won’t actually be released this year. The gamer imagines she is in the world of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II from developer Ninja Theory. That game won’t be released until sometime in 2024.

Josh Munsee, the Director of Microsoft’s Xbox Integrated Marketing team, offered up some behind-the-scenes tidbits of the Wake Up and Dream commercial on his X (formerly Twitter) account. For example, when the young gamer sees Senua in that part of the clip, Munsee says that the character is played by the actor who voices and does her motion capture work in Hellblade II, Melina Juergens.

Munsee also states that the cinematographer for the commercial is Matty Libatique, who has a ton of feature film credits including, but not limited to, Iron Man 1 and 2, Venom, and the upcoming Maestro.

Finally, some people have speculated that the order of the…
