NANTICOKE — The Greater Nanticoke Area School District became the latest to join a growing movement that gets special education and regular education students together in sports. At Thursday’s regular meeting, the School Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Special Olympics Pennsylvania to participate in the Unified Champion Schools program. The program promotes social inclusion through “Unified Sports.”
Locally, that has meant students competing in track. Hanover Area, Wyoming Area, Wyoming Valley West and Wilkes-Barre Area have already been fielding unified sports teams against each other in area track meets. Greater Nanticoke Superintendent Ron Grevera said he’s excited about creating the opportunity for the students to work and play together, and hopes the options will expand in the future.

How Deep Is the Long Island Sound?
The Long Island Sound is a marine sound that lies between Connecticut and Long Island, New York. This sound has a long, rich history and its waters are incredibly deep. In fact, the Long Island Sound is 230 feet deep at the deepest point. The sound is brackish, a mix of freshwater from rivers and saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean. This article explores Long Island Sound including the history of Long Island as well as the ecology and recreation activities available on the sound.

The Founding of Long Island
Long Island was first inhabited by the Lenape people, who were later called the Delaware people by Europeans. The ancestral lands of the Lenape people include parts of present-day Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, including the Long Island Sound. Lenape people practiced hunting, fishing, farming, and herbal medicine.
The first European to document an encounter with the Lenape people was Giovanni da Verrazzano, an Italian explorer, in 1524. Later, in the 17th century, the island was settled by Dutch, English, and Swedish people. A peace treaty was negotiated between the Lenape people and the Europeans, organized by the English Quaker William Penn. However, the arrival of tens of thousands of new colonists during the next decades reduced the hunting grounds of the Lenape people, disrupting their lifeways. Then, in 1758, the Lenape people signed the Treaty of Easton and moved west to Ohio. The Lenape people moved several times after that, ultimately settling in Oklahoma.
In 1788, New York ratified the United States Constitution, becoming the 11th U.S. state….

SEAFORD — Virginia “Ginny” Hendricks, RN, of TidalHealth Nanticoke’s Medical Surgical Unit, has been selected as the Seaford hospital’s August 2023 recipient of the Daisy Award.
Her nomination, below, was written by a family member to acknowledge the exceptional care and compassion she provided to their aunt:
My 52-year-old aunt was admitted to TidalHealth Nanticoke with respiratory failure from metastatic colorectal cancer to the lungs on April 13. My aunt had been told her lung tumor burden was causing her respiratory failure and there was nothing else to be done but focus on keeping her comfortable.
During my aunt’s 23-month battle with cancer, her goal had been to survive long enough to make it to her daughter’s high school graduation. My aunt gave up her career to homeschool my cousin and poured every bit of herself into making her daughter’s life as wonderful as possible. My cousin was scheduled to graduate in the first week of June. My family asked if we could do a fake graduation early, as we felt my aunt was suffering to try and make it to June, but we were always told that wasn’t what my aunt and cousin wanted.
All the nurses involved in my aunt’s care were truly remarkable, but Ginny had a special bond with my aunt and cousin that helped them agree to do the graduation early at the hospital. On April 18, Ginny set up a conference room for us to use for the cake, pizza, pictures and balloons. Ginny arranged it so the whole family could be there as well as some of my aunt’s chemo nurses.
The graduation ceremony and celebration were gloriously perfect. My aunt was able to give a speech to say how proud she was of my cousin. Another nurse came in and offered to…
