The group honors 343 firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11 at a memorial on the LCCC campus.
NANTICOKE, Pa. — On the campus of Luzerne County Community College sits a “Walk of Honor.” It’s a memorial to the first responders who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, but especially Michael Carlo, a New York City Firefighter killed in the aftermath of the attacks.
This dedication is thanks to Michael’s mother, who is from the Wanamie section of Newport Township.
“He worked the 230 Engine in Brooklyn, and she wanted to do something in his memory,” explained Nanticoke Fire Chief Mark Boncal. “She made a significant donation that was able to have this walk of honor. His plaque was the first one that was put up on the inside in his remembrance.”
Every year, dozens of firefighters who fought alongside Michael make this pilgrimage to this site to pay their respects.
One of those riders is Michael’s brother Robert Carlo.
“Today’s a great way for us to memorialize our brothers. We’ve been doing services all month, the whole month of September,” said Robert.
During a speech at the ceremony, Robert also talked about his mother’s donation and how it made the public safety training institute possible at LCCC. It’s just down the hill from the Walk of Honor.
“We’re lucky enough to be one of the biggest fire departments in the world and have a lot of money to build training facilities and for her to get something like this done and then for them to have the training facility here, and you know, in the county where there isn’t a lot of money to build these things,” said Robert.
Robert says it means a lot to him to have his fellow firefighters take the…
The Rutgers men’s basketball team is going up against Temple on Friday in the Basketball Hall of Fame Showcase at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The Scarlet Knights (3-0, 0-0) are coming into this game undefeated after a 73-65 win over UMass Lowell on Saturday.
Rutgers cruised comfortably through its first two games before running into the River Hawks (2-1, 0-0), who kept the game close all the way to the finish. The Knights were able to keep their composure and fend off the upset behind 22 points and 15 rebounds from junior center Clifford Omoruyi.
In addition to Omoruyi’s double-double, freshman guard Derek Simpson chipped in with 16 points while senior guard Cam Spencer also added 15 points of his own.
“This has been a great opportunity,” Simpson said. “My teammates have been there helping me out a lot, especially (senior guard Paul Mulcahy). He’s been a great influence and has taught me a lot. He told me to get my teammates involved, and I know that’s extremely important.”
Not everything went perfectly for Rutgers though, as Mulcahy left the game early with a re-aggravated shoulder injury after running into a screen. Mulcahy participated in pre-second-half warmups and sat on the bench for the second half but did not return to the game.
On the other hand, the Owls (1-1, 0-0) have had an up-and-down start to the season. The program started the season with a 76-73 loss to Wagner but immediately rebounded with an upset 68-64 win over then-No. 16 Villanova.
Temple boasts a lot of star power and point production behind the likes of Damian Dunn and Khalif Battle. The Knights will need to focus…
In the Hawaiian language, there exists a fundamental proverb: i kaʻōlelo nō ke ola, i ka ʻōlelo nō ka make. “In the language there is life, in the language there is death.”
While it’s predominantly said to illustrate the need to perpetuate ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) for the sake of Native survival and empowerment, a secondary interpretation is equally important: our language — what we say or claim — has tangible, sometimes critical, impacts.

The idea of language’s ability to affect and transform our communities is especially relevant when looking at the University’s current advocacy for Indigenous representation and empowerment. As it stands, the University is doing nowhere near enough to educate its community about the Indigenous land it stands on or the Lenni-Lenape people native to it. Equally so, Princeton is not providing sufficient Indigenous educational resources to its full capacity.
This is not to discredit the efforts that Princeton has made to expand its Indigenous educational and representational resources — like its growing prevalence of land acknowledgments or Indigenous courses — or to disregard the fact that some efforts require more time to be properly established. Yet, as Reverend Dr. J.R. Norwood, a former Tribal Councilman for the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape, was quoted as saying in these pages, land acknowledgements (and, in my eyes, the University’s steps in other Indigenous-focused opportunities, too) “should be viewed as a beginning and not an ending.”
First, the University’s progress on land acknowledgements should be far from its “end” goal. In order to create a community more aware of the Native land it resides on, Princeton must set policies around land acknowledgements, rather than merely presenting them…
Baghdad: At least two people were killed and 10 injured in a series of Iranian missile strikes that targeted, on Monday, the headquarters of the Iranian Kurdish party in the Koysanjak district of Erbil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
Iran launched strikes with drones and missiles, targeting centres of terrorist parties in the northern region of Iraq, Iranian Fars News Agency reported.
The headquarters of Iranian Kurdish opposition parties, including “Komala” and the Iranian Communist Party, was also bombed by a drone.
Tariq al-Haidari, mayor of Koysanjaq in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, told AFP that five Iranian missiles targeted a building used by the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran.
On Monday, the United Nations Mission in Iraq, “UNAMI”, condemned the Iranian bombing that targeted areas in the Kurdistan region, calling on the Iraqi and Iranian sides to dialogue on “security concerns”.
“We condemn the renewed Iranian attacks with missiles and drones on the Kurdistan region, which violate Iraqi sovereignty,” the mission said in a statement while stressing “Iraq should not be used as an arena for settling scores, and its territorial integrity must be respected.”
We condemn renewed Iranian missile and drone attacks on KR, which violate Iraqi sovereignty. Iraq should not be used as an arena to settle scores and its territorial integrity must be respected. Dialogue between Iraq and Iran over mutual security concerns is the only way forward.

Since the death of the 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, on September 16 and the outbreak of protest in Iran, the Revolutionary Guards have launched several attacks on the bases of the Iranian Kurdish opposition in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, which Iran accuses of fomenting protest.
In September 2022, the Revolutionary Guard confirmed in a statement the continuation of its operations in…

SCRANTON – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Dario George, age 31, of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury for drug trafficking offenses.
According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment charges George with four counts of distribution of fentanyl and/or cocaine, and one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, heroin and cocaine. The offenses occurred between November 23, 2021 and May 19, 2022, in Luzerne County.
The charges against George resulted from an investigation conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Robert J. O’Hara is prosecuting the case.
The case was brought as part of a district wide initiative to combat the nationwide epidemic regarding the use and distribution of heroin. Led by the United States Attorney’s Office, the Heroin Initiative targets heroin traffickers operating in the Middle District of Pennsylvania and is part of a coordinated effort among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who commit heroin related offenses.
This case is also part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
Under federal law, George faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison, a maximum sentence of 40 years…
