Jamie Redknapp is enjoying all the best things about being a new father – namely, giving your baby a funny hairstyle.

The former professional footballer, 48, welcomed baby Raphael with wife Frida Andersson, 38, in November last year, and has instantly become a devoted and doting father.

As tough as parenthood is, Jamie and Frida are loving life with their four-month-old son, with the former Liverpool star sharing sweet updates on family life to social media.

On Thursday, Jamie shared a ridiculously cute snap to Instagram showing off his son’s honestly incredible amount of hair, styled into an impressive Mohican.

In the photo, Raphael, dressed in a warm grey jumper, had his hair styled in a massive, messy Mohican, looking like he’d fit in fairly well with the punks on the streets of Camden.

Mum Frida could be seen in the background, keeping a protective arm on her son’s neck as Jamie took the photo.

He captioned it simply with a series of red heart emojis.

A second photo uploaded by the former pro footballer showed him in pure dad mode, pushing his son in a pram as the family enjoyed a walk in Hyde Park.

June O. Burton, excelled at everything

June O. Burton, 88, departed this life peacefully Saturday, March 12, 2022, in Wilmington. June was born  Sept. 4, 1933, in Millsboro daughter to the late Eunice P. Harmon and late Travanian (Buddie) Wright.  She had a half-sister, the late Derinda Morris; and a half-brother, Travis (Poo) Johnson. June grew up in Millsboro and believed there was no better place to live and raise a family.

She was affectionately known as “Bugs,” and attended the Nanticoke Indian School, where she completed schooling through the 8th grade. She subsequently left school, like many people of her heritage during that time, to help care for her family. She became a devoted housekeeper both inside and outside the Harmon household.  She quickly learned the truth behind the saying “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” as she indeed became stronger.

Bugs worked for over 35 years at Atlantic Sands Hotel in Rehoboth Beach and worked her way from being a housekeeper to the supervisor of the entire Atlantic Sands cleaning staff. Additionally, she had the responsibility of maintaining and cleaning the homes of the Atlantic Sands’ owners, yes, she was that good! Bugs always worked hard and was known for her reliable work ethic.  Even without a formal education, she was a problem solver who excelled at everything which included taking care of her loved ones. Bugs was a creative homemaker with a unique eye for decorating and unparalleled cooking skills. Bugs accepted Christ into her life and walked with Jesus as an active member of the Indian Mission United Methodist Church, and a lifelong member of the Nanticoke Indian Association.  Her Native American name, given to her on June 9, 1990, was Lonesome Wolf.

Bugs married Harry “Clayie” Burton, the love of her life, June 3, 1954, in Salisbury, Md. During this…

No repeats in next round of Game Of Claims

Whata Treasurer and driver Anthony Napolitano (Curtis Salonick photo)

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Queen Kendall and Toddler Tantrum were winners in the first week of the Game Of Claims Pacing Series for $10,000-base price horses, but on Monday at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, they both had to take a back seat to Whata Treasure, who closed from last to win by 3¾ lengths in 1:53.1 for driver Anthony Napolitano, who topped the local drivers colony with four wins.

Whata Treasure was claimed for $10,000 out of the first leg, and despite the hike in price to $12,500 for the second prelim, he was again taken out of the claiming box on a day where twelve horses changed hands for a total of $132,500.

New owner Lawrence Smith will have to decide whether a first and a second in the first two prelims will be enough to make the final, or whether to drop him back in next week and risk losing him before the final on March 28.

WHATA TREASURE REPLAY

There were no repeat winners in Monday’s five divisions, each worth $10,000, at this level, but the horse who caught the eye the most was Owen, who had a closing fourth in his GOC bow, was taken by owner/trainer Stacey Currie, then won the day’s opener in an overpowering 1:52.1, taking a new lifetime mark while motoring his own last half in 55 flat under Jim Pantaleano’s guidance.

Other winners for this tag Monday were two for driver Simon Allard, Ain’t It Fun (1:54.2) and IC A Free Spirit (1:55), and Sanattle Slew (Anthony Napolitano, 1:55.4). All these winners went back home to familiar surroundings afterwards.

The four $7500 purse events which today saw the entrants…

Time for new Lake Lenape dam repair option — removal?

We wonder how many times the dam that forms 2-mile-long Lake Lenape in Mays Landing has been repaired or replaced.

The answer is surely many, since it was built in 1849 by the Mays Landing Water Power Co. to generate power for its cotton mill. Current owners Atlantic County and Hamilton Township are planning to repair it again starting next year.

The previous repair didn’t go so well, with the county and township refusing to pay for work they felt wasn’t properly done. At least, the township’s solicitor said, both did very well in the subsequent litigation over the work and payment.

A new powerhouse was built in 1920. In 1975, the last time the dam was in private hands, a major project addressed cracks in sluice pipes and a sinkhole caused by seepage that was undermining the dam.

Wheaton Industries had bought the power plant and dam from the cotton mill company in 1956. Two decades later Wheaton was tired of periodically repairing the dam, which cost money and annoyed the public when the lake had to be lowered to make repairs.

People are also reading…

Since the deterioration of the dam put the lives of people downriver at risk, the company told a New York Times reporter, it went ahead with the repairs despite township officials urging delay to stop the temporary loss of the popular recreational lake.

A Wheaton vice president said the company might give the dam to the township to be rid of the headaches it brought, and the township mayor said it might accept the dam — but only if Wheaton repaired it first.

Three years later the deal was done, and several years after that the county became a co-owner to share the financial burden.

The latest headache is expected to cost $6 million, not a big bill…

Thomaston downs Bolton in Class S girls basketball semifinal, earns trip to final at Mohegan Sun

NEW BRITAIN — Five years removed from its last state final appearance, the Thomaston girls’ basketball team will make the trip back to the Mohegan Sun following its 48-42 Class S semifinal victory over Bolton on Monday.

The top-seeded Bears appeared in five straight title games from 2013-2017, winning twice. This year, they met little resistance in the first three rounds before edging Bolton by six points.

“I feel happy for our players because they worked really hard to get here,” Thomaston coach Robert McMahon said. “To see them finish it off like this is great. Now we have one final step, and we will see what happens then.”

Thomaston was led by sophomore Nicole Decker who led all scorers with 18 points. Ava Harkness contributed 12 points to the winning effort, while Aurelia Barker scored 10.

“We knew when Nicole was in kindergarten that she would get the keys to the car,” McMahon said. “We waited a long time to get her here and we are soaking up every minute.”

Thomaston jumped out to a first-quarter lead and never relinquished it, leading at the end of every quarter.

“We knew they had two sophomore guards that we needed to stop,” Decker said. “We just played good defense and didn’t foul, that was a big thing today. I think we did a good job on them.”

After a tough loss in the semifinals of the Berkshire League tournament, Thomaston has returned with a vengeance and a determination not to experience that losing feeling again.

“We went into practice after that with a ‘we are not going to lose again’ mentality,” Decker said. “And we are not, we are going to…

Video of Anderson High’s Indian and Maiden dance stirs controversy

ANDERSON — Since the 1920s, Anderson High School has been represented by the Indian mascot, but a recent video posted to TikTok has the school under fire.

In the ’50s, the Indian mascot, and the Maiden mascot, which had been introduced a decade earlier, started performing a dance routine at home basketball games.

On Feb. 22, Sarah Holba, who is from Northern Indiana and goes by @rradregina on TikTok, posted a video critical of the dance to the app. The video also captured other AHS pregame rituals, such as cheerleaders passing around a ceremonial peace pipe.

As of Tuesday, the video, which carries the hashtag #culturalappropriation, had more than 688,000 views. Other TikTok users have overlaid their comments on the original video, as well, adding to the attention it has drawn. Newsweek posted an article about the video March 3.

Debora Haza, of Columbus, was sent the video by a friend in the Native American community. Haza is a citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians in Michigan.

“It triggers historical trauma in native people that we’ve had to live all of our lives,” Haza said of the TikTok video.

In an email to The Herald Bulletin, Brad Meadows, director of district and community engagement for Anderson Community Schools, said the district understands that the use of the Indian mascot at AHS has “not been endorsed by some tribes and tribal members but (we) trust they understand the historic and respectful context in which it has been used for many years.”

The school is committed, according to Meadows, to working with the Delaware Tribe of Indians, also known as Lenape people, to keep honoring Chief Anderson, the city’s namesake.

School district officials and representatives of the Delaware Tribe of Indians had a preliminary phone conversation Monday to open a dialogue, Meadows said.
