River Days

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.

The myth of foreign monitors in Iraq’s election – World

Next month’s parliamentary election is probably the most dramatic in Iraq’s recent history. Given the highly partisan atmosphere at a time of “conflict fatigue”, a meaningful and effective election is crucial for the nation’s stability and its dysfunctional democracy. 

But disputed ballot and contested outcome will certainly lay the groundwork in the following weeks or months for further political upheaval and an outbreak of new popular protests similar to the uprising that toppled the government in 2019. 

Every Iraqi election since the overthrow of the regime of former dictator Saddam Hussein has been marred by allegations of fraud and irregularities. Together with regional and international stakeholders, Iraqis fear that the October election could be a tipping point for the future. 

To help ensure a successful poll while battling voters’ mistrust and fighting one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the Middle East, the government of Mustafa Al-Kadhimi is inviting international observers to oversee the ballots.   

But while the government can see real value in foreign observers giving the poll a legal cover, many Iraqis remain sceptical about whether international observers can provide an objective means of validating the election to rescue Iraq’s tortured democracy. 

Still, much of the outcome depends on the United Nations Political Mission in Iraq, UNAMI, which is empowered by numerous UN Security Council resolutions to “assist in the electoral process” and help “towards free and fair Iraqi-led elections that are inclusive.” 

Last month the 15-member council unanimously approved an Iraqi request for a UN team to monitor the elections. A resolution it adopted authorised UNAMI to “provide a strengthened, robust and visible UN team” to monitor Iraq’s election day “with as broad a geographic coverage as possible.” 

The UN is expected to deploy some 130 international experts to monitor the polls, along…

Dolores Mary Floryshak

Dolores Mary Floryshak, a longtime Glen Lyon and Nanticoke resident, passed away Saturday, Sept. 18, 2021, in Lehigh Valley Hospice, Allentown. Dolores was born in Glen Lyon 93 years ago, the daughter of Michael and Mary Rutkowski Boynoski.

Dolores was a 1945 graduate of Newport Twp. High School. She was a distinguished seamstress, having been professionally trained in New York City. She was employed by the Leslie Fay Dress Company in Glen Lyon for 28 years. She would often be found in her sewing room among the bolts of fabric, spools of thread and hundreds of patterns, creating custom-made clothing for herself and family.

After retiring, she generously volunteered her time to many civic and social organizations: Pi Beta Gamma as a past president, the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union on the retiree counsel, the Mercy Hospital Auxiliary, Nanticoke and she was a longtime volunteer with John Heinz Rehab Center in Wilkes-Barre.

Dolores married Walter F. Floryshak on Nov. 15, 1947. He was the love of her life and favorite dance partner. They could be found swirling around the dance floor or dancing cheek to cheek in the kitchen. Being around her family brought her the most joy. Traveling to visit relatives and hosting family get-togethers, especially during the holidays, were the most meaningful to her.

In addition to her parents, Dolores was predeceased by her husband, Walter in 2008.

She is survived by her sons, Michael, Vincent and Daniel; seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday in St. Faustina Kowalska Parish, 520 S. Hanover St., Nanticoke. Family and friends may call from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Thursday at George A. Strish Inc. Funeral Home, 211 W. Main St., Glen Lyon. Interment following the Mass will be in St. John the Baptist Cemetery, Glen Lyon. In…

TSO’s Music Director & lead guitarist Al Pitrelli said, “After an incredibly trying year for everyone we are beyond excited to be able to say that we’re bringing Christmas Eve and Other Stories back to all of you. We were amazed by the turnout for last year’s live-stream and how many of you continued to celebrate this tradition we have created together. It’s been 25 years since Paul (O’Neill) first introduced all of us to this timeless tale. Let’s celebrate this milestone event together. God bless and stay safe everyone.”
