Connecticut Sportsbook Operators Submit Soft Launch Plans

With Connecticut on the cusp of sports betting, three operators are preparing for soft launches.

The state’s Department of Consumer Protection confirmed Tuesday that DraftKings, BetFair (FanDuel) and Rush Street Interactive have all submitted proposals for how they plan to conduct a soft launch in Connecticut.

No date has been announced for when that soft launch might take place, but all three filed the 10-day notice by law and a seven-day soft launch period is projected to start around Sept. 30. The official live date is expected to be Oct. 7.

Just last week, Paul Mounds, chief of staff to Gov. Ned Lamont, said that live sports betting would begin on Oct. 7.

If Connecticut makes its target date, residents would be able to bet on the Week 5 NFL games.

UConn men’s college basketball is set to begin its regular season on Nov. 9 as the Huskies start a four-game homestand against Central Connecticut State.

Online casinos will likely take a little longer to launch in Connecticut. In addition to their sportsbooks, DraftKings Casino and FanDuel Casino will offer online casino games in the state.

Where To Bet In Connecticut

Bettors will have three options to place their wagers once Connecticut launches its sports betting operations.

FanDuel Sportsbook is partnered with the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville. DraftKings Sportsbook has partnered with Foxwoods in Mashantucket. Rush Street Interactive reached a deal with the Connecticut Lottery to enter the market. Rush Street operates Sugarhouse Sportsbook, which is expected to be the brand in Connecticut. It also has the BetRivers brand.

An early October launch would conclude what has been a quick turnaround from when Lamont signed sports betting and online casino gaming into law on May 27. The Department of Consumer Protection then set the rules and started the application process for operators. Meanwhile,…

H.S. Football: Nanticoke Area’s defense holds strong to edge Susquehanna

NANTICOKE — Nanticoke Area’s defense came up with a fourth-down stop late in the fourth quarter and a missed extra point earlier in the game helped the Trojans earn their first win of the season, defeating Susquehanna 7-6 on Friday night.

Zack Fox’s 60-yard touchdown run in the first quarter proved to be the difference, and the Trojans’ defense closed out the game in the fourth.

With 6:11 left on the clock and the ball on the Susquehanna 3-yard line, the Trojans decided to go for it on fourth down to build on their one-point lead. After struggling to stop the Trojans run game throughout the night, the Sabers stood their ground and pushed Zach Fox back a yard as Nanticoke turned the ball over on downs.

Susquehanna took possession 96 yards away from the end zone with both team looking for that elusive first win of the season. Susquehanna would convert its first two fourth-down attempts on the drive but ultimately fell short as Colton Stone’s fourth-and-10 pass to J.J. Rosa was out of reach.

Fox got the Trojans on board on their second offensive play of the game. Fox would find intermittent success through the rest of the night as he failed to reach the line of scrimmage on eight rushing attempts in the game but still finished with 105 yards.

The Trojans changed up their running this week with a two-headed attack with Fox and Mykal Julian. The tandem would finish with a combined 226 yards on the ground.

The Sabers offense struggled in the first half as they would only run two plays in the opposition’s half. Late in the half Susquehanna looked poised to knot the score up heading into the break, but a Rosa fumble ended…

CHANGING FORMS: METAMORPHOSIS IN MYTH, ART, AND NATURE OPENS AT THE FRANCES LEHMAN LOEB ART CENTER

CHANGING FORMS: METAMORPHOSIS IN MYTH, ART, AND NATURE OPENS AT THE FRANCES LEHMAN LOEB ART CENTER

POUGHKEEPSIE – Vassar College’s Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center will present the exhibition Changing Forms: Metamorphosis in Myth, Art, and Nature, 1650–1700, on view September 28 through December 19, 2021 in the Loeb’s Focus Gallery.

The exhibition, curated by Dr. Elizabeth Nogrady, Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Academic Programs at the Loeb, and Dr. Lara Yeager-Crasselt, Curator of The Leiden Collection, brings together approximately twenty paintings, drawings, prints, specimens, and illustrated books to explore the rich and varied concept of “metamorphosis” in the late seventeenth-century Netherlands. With links to art, myth, science, and the exchange of knowledge, metamorphosis provides a vital lens through which to explore and understand an evolving early modern world.

Changing Forms focuses on the idea of metamorphosis at a dynamic moment in the late 1600s, when the notions of myth, art, and science converged in new, urgent ways. Painters such as Godefridus Schalcken, Willem van Mieris, and Samuel van Hoogstraten created their own mythological imagery with the more refined and elegant language of classicism. This tradition will be demonstrated in the exhibition by works such as Samuel van Hoogstraten’s Salmacis and Hermaphroditus (ca. 1671–76), which has never before been shown in a museum exhibition, as well as paintings of the goddess Diana by Godefridus Schalcken and Willem van Mieris, all on loan from The Leiden Collection, the preeminent private collection of Dutch art in the United States.

At the same time, the exhibition demonstrates how contemporaries explored biological metamorphosis in lavishly illustrated insect studies. Key books to emerge in this context were Johannes Goedaert’s Metamorphosis naturalisand Maria Sibylla Merian’s Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium, which amassed new knowledge from Indigenous and enslaved people in South America. These stunning books come from Vassar collections and include significant…
