NANTICOKE—Norfolk County’s $450 million plan to pipe in drinking water from Haldimand’s Nanticoke water treatment plant may never proceed in its current form. The inter urban water system, first proposed in 2019, was intended to address aging infrastructure and supply issues in Norfolk’s five urban systems in Simcoe, Port Dover, Port Rowan, Delhi, and Waterford.

Seattle Storm’s “Kicks for Equality” Campaign Returns, Blending Fashion, Hoops and Social Justice

SEATTLE — On Thursday July 24th, the franchise launched its fifth annual Kicks for Equality campaign, a vibrant and meaningful initiative that brings together sneakers, social justice, and community impact.

 Backed by BECU and Symetra, the campaign is part of the Storm’s larger Force4Change movement, and it quickly became a fan favorite. This year’s lineup features one of a kind, hand-designed sneakers worn by Storm players and Head Coach Noelle Quinn each pair representing a cause chosen by the wearer. From mental health awareness to maternal healthcare, the messages stitched into every design are as bold as the kicks themselves.

“This is one of our favorite fundraising events of the year,” said Force4Change Executive Director Crystal Langhorne. “It highlights the intersection of sports, fashion, and social justice… and we’re able to raise money to support initiatives that help make a lasting impact in our community.”

All designs are brought to life by Seattle based artist Takiyah Ward, owner of Re-Sole 206, whose custom sneaker work has previously landed on the feet of Seattle sports royalty like Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Pete Carroll. Ward’s 20+ years of expertise in customizing and restoring sneakers shine through in every player’s pair.

Fans can bid on the custom shoes in an online auction running through Friday, August 1 at 8:30 p.m. PST  but that’s not all. This year’s auction also includes autographed jerseys, a team signed game ball, and other collectibles, with all proceeds benefiting the Storm Foundation and its Force4Change programs.

In a league known for leading the way on and off the court, Kicks for Equality continues to prove that what you wear can speak volumes especially when it’s worn in the name of progress.

Nanticoke woman charged with neglecting seven dogs

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3qUsue_13Gh30tU00

NANTICOKE — A woman from Nanticoke was arraigned Tuesday on allegations she neglected seven dogs with one canine having emergency surgery to remove carpeting, rubber matting and a corn cob from its stomach.

Jennifer Lynn Souder, 42, was charged by Humane Officers with the SPCA of Luzerne County with 14 summary counts of neglect of animals and one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals. Souder was arraigned by District Judge Donald Whittaker of Nanticoke and released on $25,000 unsecured bail.

According to the criminal complaint:

Nanticoke police contacted humane officers after several dogs escaped from Souder’s residence in the 300 block of South Chestnut Street on June 11. Police officers noticed the dogs were emaciated.

Humane officers responded to Souder’s house and spotted six dogs in a fenced-in-yard filled with garbage, debris and feces. The six dogs were described in the complaint as “under weight.”

As humane officers were at the property, Souder arrived and agreed to release the dogs including one dog that was inside the residence secured in a cage.

After the dogs were taken to the SPCA of Luzerne County in Plain Township to be evaluated and nursed, one dog — a young adult female retriever lab mix — experienced severe vomiting and unable to eat, the complaint says.

The dog was taken to an animal hospital in Wyoming County where the canine had emergency surgery.

During the surgery, the veterinarian removed a piece of carpet, rubber matting, a corn cob and the top of a pineapple from the dog’s stomach and intestines, the complaint says.

The complaint says if the items were not removed from the dog, the items would have been unlikely to pass, placing the canine in imminent risk of death.

Souder is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Luzerne County Central Court on Aug. 6.

PFL Cape Town Main Card Preview

The PFL has their first African card this Saturday as they head to Cape Town, South Africa. They are bringing a really strong card with them as the event will feature a middleweight title fight between Johnny Eblen and Costello Van Steenis as well as a flyweight showcase featuring the biggest star in the promotion, Dakota Ditcheva.

That said, the rest of the main card is really solid. Kicking things off on the main card is a matchup between last year’s PFL heavyweight champion Denis Goltsov (36-8) and former Bellator light heavyweight champion Corey Anderson (18-6). Anderson had been begging for a fight and now he gets a big one.

Anderson moves up to heavyweight after winning the vacant Bellator title in March 2024. Bellator is obviously no more and Anderson has decided to move up and he’s going right to last year’s champion. Denis Goltsov is a very impressive 9-1 in his last ten fights. His lone loss was in the 2023 heavyweight finals where he was stopped by Renan Ferreira. Last year, he went 4-0 with four stoppages on his way to becoming the 2024 heavyweight champion.

PFL Cape Town

The next matchup on the card will be a lightweight showcase between Artur Zaynukov (16-4) and Takeshi Izumi (6-3). Zaynukov enters the bout having won five fights in a row including his PFL debut last October against Dedrek Sanders. Izumi will be making his promotional debut after spending his entire professional career in Japan. His last fight was back in March against Spike Carlyle in RIZIN where he won a unanimous decision.

The next featured matchup will feature the featherweight return of AJ McKee (22-2). The former Bellator featherweight champion is returning to the weight class where he…
