H.S. Girls Basketball: Holy Redeemer edges Nanticoke Area, gets shot at title

Feb. 8—WILKES-BARRE — The defensive pressure that was so effective in the first quarter returned in the nick of time for Holy Redeemer.

The result was a chance to play for the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 girls basketball title.

Redeemer forced two turnovers in the final 17 seconds Wednesday night to hang on for a 53-49 victory over Nanticoke Area in the regular-season finales for both teams.

Redeemer (11-1 Div. 2, 14-8 overall) will play Lake-Lehman (11-1, 18-4) at 7 p.m. Friday at Nanticoke Area High School for the division crown.

“Every time you play Nanticoke they’re gritty, they’re tough,” said Redeemer coach John Jezorwski, whose team won the first matchup in overtime. “(Claire) Aufiero was fabulous, played an outstanding game. Ed (Grant) did a great job coaching and preparing his kids.

“They just punched us in the mouth, but again we responded well.”

The Royals held Nanticoke Area (7-5, 9-13) scoreless over the final 1:32. The Trojanettes had tied the game 49-49 after Aufiero scored inside off a pass from Navaeh Baran.

Turnovers, though, hurt Nanticoke Area the rest of the way. Redeemer’s Meghan Albrecht turned a steal into a go-ahead layup. She then tied up a Nanticoke Area player, resulting in the possession arrow giving the ball to Redeemer with 30.3 second left.

Redeemer missed the front end of a one-and-one with 17.7 seconds left, giving the ball back to Nanticoke Area when it went out of bounds. The Trojanettes, though, threw away the inbound pass.

Redeemer’s Paige Kroptavich made it 52-49 with a free throw with 15.4 seconds remaining. She missed her second shot and Nanticoke Area rebounded only to be called for a traveling violation.

“The periods we took care of the ball, we were able to break that press and made our little runs,” Grant said. “A lot of people stepped up tonight, which…

MEDFORD – Shawnee High School senior Avery Kessler reached a career milestone in her team’s 43-28 Olympic Conference interdivision road victory over Lenape Feb. 7.

Umami Finance CEO Reportedly Dumps His Holdings Resulting in $UMAMI’s Decline

Alex O’Donnel, the chief executive officer of Umami Finance, has reportedly traded his holdings in $UMAMI tokens. A conversation on the platform’s discord channel indicates that the team of Umami Labs LLC has resigned because of the action made by the founder of the project. The treasury assets of the protocol are presently secure as well as in the team’s control.

Alex O’Donnell Reportedly Trades His Holdings in UMAMI Token, Leading to a Value Decline

The team has a strategy to take the protocol to a DAO system and decentralization. In this way, the treasury assets of the protocol are in the multi-sig’s control and the Umami DAO as well as the token holders’ direction would be now followed in this respect. The team has a strategy to step ahead with a decentralized autonomous organization structure. Hence, the vaults will be released as scheduled with the use of the Umami token.

At present, the control of the cost code base as well as the vault products is retained by Umami DAO. Umami Finance is known as a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. The platform provides yield vaults. These products provide risk-hedged and real profits on the crypto assets including Ether (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and USDC. As noted on the official website of the protocol, its yield vaults can be used to gain risk-hedged as well as sustainable crypto yields.

The Token Price Recovers from $7 to $13

The project is categorized among the top players involved in developing risk-neutral vault related to GLP. GLP is the liquidity token of a derivative protocol named GMX. The token of the protocol has witnessed a vertical decline of more than 50% in its value. The present value of the token is $13 which has…

Olive Tree students meet snakes, turtles during program with Mohican naturalist

Jim Brewer  |  Special to Ashland Times-Gazette

Gracie Jefferies didn’t expect to visit, eye to eye, with a gray rat snake.

But that was her unexpected treat Friday, Jan. 13, when she was the first beneficiary of a close encounter with reptiles in her after-school session at the Olive Tree Care Center.

“We are planning to set up presentations by different community resources as part of our program,” said Kristy Spreng, director of Olive Tree. “The visit today by Kyle Casey, naturalist at Mohican State Park, was the first session in this program.”

Casey provided the dozen or more students at Olive Tree, which offers before and after school care for students in grades K-6, an interesting and at times entertaining presentation on Ohio reptiles as the inaugural program.

The program started off quietly enough, with Casey unpacking a box filled with various turtle shells, ranging from tiny ones, about three inches long, to huge and scary snapping turtle shells, a foot or more around.

After talking about the shells, he went to a plastic tote and pulled out a live turtle, a box turtle, one of the species most commonly found in Ohio, and discussed its characteristics.

“This is a girl turtle,” he said. “You can tell by the shape of their shells. Females are higher and more rounded, while male turtles have flatter shells.”

Shells that turtles carry on their backs are for protection, and if for some reason a shell is broken, a turtle will grow another, Casey told the children.

After packing the female turtle back in his tote, he pulled a more exciting creature out of it, a gray rat snake, about long.

Fifth grader Gracie Jeffries got the…

About a week before Americans and friends would gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, a convoy of trucks rolled to a stop in the war-ravaged Tigray region of Ethiopia. Humanitarian workers began to unload hundreds of tons of food. Fighting and instability had made the work dangerous, but now sacks heavy with wheat and split peas and vast containers of vegetable oil were being sorted and sent directly to the region’s hungry.

The United Nations’ World Food Programme, the largest humanitarian organization on the planet, had organized the effort. Estimates suggest the deliveries would help 67,000 people.

It was a significant achievement against hunger, yet David Beasley, an American from South Carolina and the agency’s executive director since 2017, finds it hard to take comfort from one success as he thinks of how many more people still need help.

At the end of 2022, the WFP is on track to provide food, medicine and support to 153 million people in at least 80 countries, many of them dealing with war and famine. That’s the most people in the program’s 60-year history.

“When I took over, my goal was, ‘What can I do to make the World Food Programme no longer needed?’” Beasley told ShareAmerica in phone interview from the agency’s headquarters in Rome. “We still have a lot of work to do.”
