‘An investment in our roots:’ Lenape mural dedication planned for Aug. 1

SCRANTON — A striking, massive mural honoring the indigenous Lenape people who first settled the Lackawanna Valley is essentially complete in Scranton as officials prepare for a formal dedication ceremony Aug. 1.

Native American artist Ben Scott Miller — a registered citizen of the Delaware Tribe of Indians in Oklahoma, a federally recognized tribe of the Lenape — and Miguel Angel Belinchón, a Spanish artist known as Belin, began work earlier this month on the mural titled “Remembrance and Continuance: The Lenape Story in Scranton.” A joint project by Lackawanna County and the nonprofit Scranton Tomorrow, the 8,000-square-foot piece of public art adorns the north side of the Brixx Building, 130 N. Washington Ave., owned by developer Art Russo’s ATR Properties.

Three Places to go Summer Hiking in Ohio

Ohio is home to beautiful parks, hiking trails and nature scenes that are accessible in all seasons. Here are some great places to enjoy this beauty during the summer months. 

Local Dayton area

Twin Valley Trail

This trail system is located in southwest Ohio, not far from the downtown Dayton area. It is accessible from a few different parks including Germantown Main Park.

The trail loops to connect with other systems and spans 49 miles according to Five Rivers MetroParks. Hikers of all levels can participate in short two-mile hikes or longer, more advanced hikes.

The park is open all year and is suitable for backpackers. It also features small campsites hikers can reserve to stay the night on the trail. 

Wright State University

For those still in the WSU area, the university offers a variety of smaller trails that loop around the wooded areas. These are an excellent choice for those searching for shorter hikes where you can enjoy the natural beauty of campus while staying close to home.

Statewide

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Those looking for a moderate winter hiking adventure can check out the trails in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. 

This park, located in Peninsula Ohio, offers trails for all levels of hikers. Those looking for an easier path can go on trails like Ledges Trail and Pine Grove Trail. Those looking for a slightly more difficult adventure can check out the Wetmore Bridle trail, all located in the Park.

The park is open 24/7 all year round, excluding national holidays, and holds no entrance fee.

Connecticut Sun named one of the worst-run WNBA franchises by player poll

The Connecticut Sun have had a rather up-and-down week as a franchise.

On Tuesday they sold out TD Garden for the second time as they hosted Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. Although they lost the contest, the Sun drew over 19,000 fans to the arena and local bars were jam-packed with watch parties.

That night though, also highlighted the fact that the Sun do not play in front of nearly 20,000 fans every home game. Some players like rookie Saniya Rivers said they wouldn’t mind seeing the team fully relocate to Boston.

“If it was up to me, we might relocate here,” Rivers said on Tuesday. “I love Connecticut, it’s fine, but I think the marketing here itself is just going to be better for a women’s basketball program and I think we can make a lot of noise here starting tonight, so I’m just excited to be a part of it.”

The contrast between the team’s current facilities and potential digs in Boston were only amplified later this week when The Athletic released its anonymous WNBA player poll.

One of the questions asked to veterans around the league was “what is the league’s worst-run organization?”

Of the 27 players who answered the question, eight, or 29.6 percent, selected the Sun, the second highest behind the Chicago Sky at 40.7 percent.

The complaints for both teams centered around the infrastructure and practice facilities. Also, according to one player referring to Connecticut, “the travel and location (make it unappealing).”

The story does note that the Sky are working on building a new $38 million performance center, but so far nothing like that has been announced for the Sun.

Connecticut’s practice facilities have bothered players in the past, with former Sun star Alyssa Thomas sharing a particularly frustrating story involving a practice…

Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby Mixes Fishing, Fun, and Science

SHARPTOWN, MD – Salisbury University invited anglers of all ages and experience levels to help combat invasive fish species in local waterways during the fourth annual Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby on Saturday.

The annual derby, organized by SU biological studies assistant professor Dr. Noah Bressman, encourages the removal of blue catfish and northern snakeheads. The two species are invasive and pose a threat to fish and crustacean populations, including striped bass and blue crabs.

This year’s event was at Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown, and was followed by awards, educational activities, and invasive species research. A portion of Saturday’s catch will be donated to Bressman’s lab for ongoing studies. 

“We can get data and tissue samples and whatever we need from them at this event in front of everybody to kind of show that science is accessible,” says Bressman. “This event helps support the research in my lab as well as the research for our collaborators like USGS and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.”

A crew from the US Geological Survey was at the fishing derby. They are also using some of the fish caught on Saturday for research, including conducting fish health assessments. “We look at internals and externals to determine how healthy these fish are,” says Heather Walsh, a research fish biologist with USGS. “We’re also doing contaminant analysis. So we’re testing the plasma for PFAS, which is a forever chemical in the waters, and we’re also testing the muscle for heavy metals.”

Walsh tells WBOC that a lot of the fish that were caught will also go to local food banks and local churches in Wicomico County. 

The invasive fishing derby had over $1,000 in prizes, including gear from local companies. The event was free and funded by Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources.

Once an industrial hub, Petty’s Island is on a path to environmental renewal

In the Delaware River, between Camden, New Jersey’s Beideman neighborhood and the eastern side of Philadelphia, is Petty’s Island. The quiet, 300-acre island is full of history and wildlife, but is devoid of human inhabitants. 

Petty’s Island wasn’t always desolate. For centuries, it was a place where people lived, farmed and worked. North Americans living in the Delaware River region, who called themselves the Lenape, were the first to occupy the island. But when natural resources depleted in the region, the Lenape sold the island in 1678 to an English Quaker named Elizabeth Kinsey. 

The island then went through numerous owners, including Philadelphia merchant John Petty, who bought it in 1732. The island was named after Petty, and today is referred to as “Petty Island” and “Petty’s Island.” 

Eventually, the island was converted to a hub for industry and international commerce.Its central location, within the Port of Philadelphia and its connection to more than 60 steamship lines offering direct trade routes to many countries, made the island ideal.

The company now known as CITGO purchased some of the island in 1916, and used it to store and refine petroleum products. Nearly 40 years later, CITGO gained full ownership, but its operations never required use of all 300 acres of the island.

In the early 2000s, the petroleum company discovered a pair of American bald eagles nesting on the island, along with other threatened wildlife, and offered to donate the island to New Jersey. The state rejected CITGO’s offer. 

Years later, through the state Department of Environmental Protection’s Natural Lands Trust, New Jersey accepted a different offer that involved CITGO working to rid the island of contamination. That included removing pollutants from the soil and groundwater, moving contaminated materials off the island, and…
