Shamokin looks to get back on track against Nanticoke

Shamokin Area will attempt to bounce back from a poor performance last week against Selinsgrove tonight against a winless Greater Nanticoke in a road game that has now taken on big proportion for the 1-2 Indians.

Shamokin cannot afford a third straight loss, especially against a team which has struggled itself in recent years, with much hope of having the kind of season the Indians have envisioned.

Lamont Says CT Sports Betting Starting Soon, But There’s A Catch

Gov. Ned Lamont is ready for CT sports betting to get started, but he might have jumped the gun a bit in recent comments.

Lamont said sports betting could begin “any day now” at the two tribal casinos, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.

“My instinct is the tribes, hopefully, will do something collaboratively at the same time on site, and we’re just waiting for the final approval so we can get everything going online as well,” Lamont added.

While some local media took Lamont’s comments to mean CT sports betting could launch this week, that likely is not the case.

CT sports betting still has steps to take

The federal Department of Interior gave its blessing on updated gaming agreements between the state and its two tribal partners last week.

Those agreements must appear in the Federal Register to take effect, though. Lamont’s office assumed that would happen the same day the approvals arrived, a spokesperson said.

It will take about a week to square away all the licensing issues before those retail bets can happen after publishing, the spokesperson added.

The state’s three online sportsbooks should still launch simultaneously in October:

Connecticut another legal option for Massachusetts bettors

There is another group of bettors eagerly waiting for the launch of sports betting in Connecticut: Massachusetts residents.

The Massachusetts Senate is again holding up the discussion on legalizing sportsbooks in the Bay State. Its proposed bill was not updated following a stakeholder meeting in June. The House, meanwhile, amended its bill and passed it by a 156-3 margin.

Gov. Charlie Baker is growing impatient as well. He tweeted Sunday it’s time to get Massachusetts sportsbooks legalized, adding the state is losing out to many neighbors. So far, Massachusetts has three neighboring states that accept…

Enjoy 20 outdoor events throughout the Delaware River Watershed during River Days 2021

This year, for so many reasons, people have sought solace in the outdoors and found a new, or renewed connection with nature. During September and October, the 23 environmental centers that make up the Alliance for Watershed Education of the Delaware River (AWE) will host family-friendly activities as part of the organization’s annual River Days festivities, to help bring people together safely for environmentally-focused events.

Visitors to AWE centers this fall will also be AWEd by the Water Spirit sculpture installations found at many sites throughout the watershed. The site-specific series, made entirely of plant material, was created by Seattle-based environmental artist Sarah Kavage, in collaboration with local artists. All AWE centers will also offer visitors free decks of Aqua Marooned! a card game created by Philly-based immersive experience company Swim Pony that encourages emotional connection with flora and fauna. The game’s beautifully illustrated cards cast players as extraterrestrial explorers sent to explore earth’s mysterious “watersphere.” Both projects are part of arts initiative Lenapehoking~Watershed: a place for water art and culture.

Don Rogers: Olympian ski resort, whatever the name

So. Palisades Tahoe. Um, OK.

I get that squaw is an offensive word, and that is nothing new. It was derogatory before Squaw Valley was named. The valley, the creek, the ski resort.

Apparently it began with a French butchering of Algonquian words for female friend, woman of the woods, little woman baby. And “squaw sachem”: female chief. This contrarian view is from Vincent Schilling, an Akewsasne Mohawk and associate editor at Indian Country Today, making a case in 2017 that the word was not originally disrespectful. Other indigenous writers over the decades have written similar essays.

The dictionary definitions today, however, uniformly paint the word as a slur. And it sounds like a slur in old movies, old books, historic texts. Or if not a slur exactly in its old usage, certainly not a sign of great respect, either. Probably why Minnesota in 1995 passed legislation to rename all geographic features in the state bearing the word.

Anyway, the Washoe people native to the valley don’t like it. They praised the ski resort for at last changing the name this week.

var vf_ad_container = document.getElementById(vf_div_id); vf_ad_container.innerHTML = ‘

‘; AdBridg.cmd.push(function() { var vf_gpt_slot = AdBridg.defineSlot(‘/5195/NCPC_TheUnion/ROS/opinion’, [300,250], vf_div_id).setTargeting(‘slot’, vf_div_id); var vf_size_mapping = AdBridg.sizeMapping().addSize([320,50]).build(); AdBridg.useSizeMapping(vf_gpt_slot, vf_size_mapping); AdBridg.display(‘ad-big-box4’); AdBridg.serve(); })

var r1 = vf_ad_container.closest(‘.vf-promo’); if (typeof r1 !== undefined) r1.style.display = “block”;

});

});

GENERIC

The new name came from more than a year of research, surveys, focus groups and the best marketing minds in the industry.

For the resort, Palisades echoes the granite outcroppings forming the mountain’s legendary chutes and cliffs, the extreme stuff we mortals only gawk at — the terrain of McKinney, McConkey, Mosely. There’s a thrill.

Locals no doubt get it straight away. The Palisades. Well, of course. But…

Future areas of collaboration were also explored, with a site visit to discuss potential livelihood projects in the productive sector on land owned by Haditha’s Department of Agriculture, and a stop by the Haditha Women’s Cultural Centre to better understand the specific needs of local women. The mission concluded with a visit to an ongoing livelihood project funded by Canada which employs 200 workers – including women – to plant 15,000 olive seedlings (high olive oil trees), 2,000 palm seedlings (Zahddi trees) and build five wells. “It’s great to see cities in western…
