This is the fourth blog in a series about the great clean water work that is happening upriver in West Virginia, Delaware, and other states that don’t directly border the Bay. Much of the funding and resources for this critical work are only made possible through the landmark 40-year Bay partnership, a collaborative effort between states, the federal government, and local partners to reduce pollution and restore habitats across our remarkable watershed.
Growing up near Laurel, Delaware, Jamie Smith rarely thought about the Chesapeake Bay. In fact, she had no idea that Broad Creek, the waterway that runs through the small town, was a Bay tributary.
“I thought ok, it’s the Broad Creek. It goes into the Nanticoke River and beyond that I didn’t know. I didn’t think about ‘where’s the Nanticoke River going?’” she said.
Map of Broad Creek and the Nanticoke River.
Chesapeake Bay Foundation
Nor do most Laurel residents, she figures. But as town manager, Smith knows that Laurel’s connection to the Bay is more than geographic. It’s the foundation—and a key funding source—for the town’s ambitious waterfront redevelopment plan called The Ramble.
The sweeping initiative aims to revitalize Laurel by attracting residents, visitors, and local businesses to Broad Creek’s banks. But that wasn’t the original goal. It started as, and remains, a plan that uses green infrastructure to reduce polluted runoff into Broad Creek, the Nanticoke River, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay.
One reason the struggling town can afford to pursue its lofty vision is its connection to the Bay. The Ramble provides a blueprint…
We might still officially be in fall but the Diamond City’s downtown is beginning to look like a winter wonderland.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — It’s Frosty the Snowman’s time to shine in Wilkes-Barre.
“Nothing wrong with celebrating early at all, if anything, it brings more like a joy to this time of the year,” said Nebula Newhart, Nanticoke.
Students from Wilkes-Barre Career and Technical Center are behind the holiday decor seen in these planters around the downtown.
“It makes the community look nice. And around our square, around Wilkes Barre,” said Danny Ortiz, Wilkes-Barre.
“What I personally like about is how we used the greens to make it look more flush and more life-like, and using the birch twigs to like add it to the thing. I think it makes it look more natural in a way,” said Nebula.
“We do a lot of stuff like this at the school, like decorating the sign and just the center area of the school. We place trees around as well. So, it makes sense. We do a lot of crafts with the pine leaves as well,” said Lilliana Paglianite, Pittston.
While projects like this might seem like a small change, businesses in the area say it doesn’t go unnoticed.
“Absolutely, you know, it’s beautiful, just small, little things. Take pride in your city, makes it awesome. Our customers absolutely notice it. You know, we’ve talked about it before. It looks good. It’s cool. They have the kids doing it too,” said Anthony Ranella, Loyalty Barbershop Wilkes-Barre owner.
Students say they enjoy the opportunity to do something outside of the classroom and look forward to what comes next.
“I get to see people that I don’t normally see around, like this time of the year, and I get to celebrate it with…
WILKES-BARRE — The Luzerne County Board of Elections decided Friday it won’t count 1,301 mail-in ballots from the 119th state House District because the ballots were canceled and supposed to be segregated.
But an employee inadvertently opened the outer envelopes of those ballots, and 1,159 of those 1,301 voters in the 119th District submitted second ballots. Friday’s decision disenfranchises 142 voters from the Nov. 5 election.
“I think everyone in this room knows there is no good answer,” board Solicitor Gene Molino said. “The board is going to have to make a decision on what’s the least bad answer to this.”
If the board counted the 1,301 ballots, the board would have allowed 1,159 voters to vote twice. Election officials said they had no way to determine the identity of voters who cast them once the outer envelopes were opened.
In early October, the election bureau canceled about 6,700 mail ballots sent to voters in the 119th District because some of the ballots misspelled the name of state Rep. Alec Ryncavage as “Tyncavage.” The bureau sent a second batch of mail-in ballots to those 119th District voters with correct name spellings.
Ryncavage, a Republican seeking a second term, defeated Democrat Megan Kocher, and the unofficial vote count remains 17,382 to 9,789.
The board continued its review of provisional ballots on Friday and plans to resume its review Saturday morning. Attorneys for U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, a Democrat from Scranton, and Republican Dave McCormick were present Friday.
McCormick is leading the unofficial vote count against Casey 3,392,104 to 3,370,395, and 36,000 votes are uncounted, NBC News reported at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
In Luzerne County, the Senate campaigns have contested decisions on more than 1,000 provisional ballots, and a hearing on the challenges will be held Tuesday. Voters are allowed to cast provisional ballots if they received mail-in ballots or…

Diabetes Awareness Month
DELMARVA – About 1.5 million people die from diabetes annually according to the World Health Organization, and those numbers continue to increase. While diabetes can be deadly, experts on Delmarva say one can successfully manage the disease with proper nutrition, education, and most importantly, determination.
Blindness, kidney disease, and stroke are just some of the things that can happen if diabetes goes unchecked. Certified Diabetes Specialist for Atlantic General Hospital, Dr. Nakita Cropper says Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition and can only be treated with insulin. On the other hand, Type 2 has more to do with genetics and lifestyle and can be treated with oral medication, injectables, and insulin.
Dr. Cropper says low-income individuals have a higher risk of being diagnosed, and that we have to address both the disease and the disparities. “Although it is often difficult receiving the diagnosis, that it is possible for individuals to successfully manage the condition and live long, healthy, fulfilled lives… We know that African Americans and Hispanics are most likely to be diagnosed with the condition. underserved groups are more likely to experience difficulty with accessing healthcare.”
Adults should get at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week according to Dr. Cropper, and she says there are a few risk factors to look out for. “Being overweight or obese. Having limited physical activity daily, smoking, as well as having a hormonal condition such as polycystic ovarian syndrome.”
Exercise isn’t the only way to manage this disease, there is also nutrition according to Kelly Williams, Nutritionist for the Worcester County Health Department. “I think the biggest challenge people face when managing diabetes is knowing how to combine foods.

While area children have been enjoying it since the first piece of equipment was installed, last Friday Tidewater Park in Laurel was officially opened with the ribbon cutting ceremony and a blessing by the Nanticoke Indian tribe.
“I can’t express how excited I am for this moment—it’s truly an honor to be part of such a special occasion. Of all the projects I’ve seen completed in our town, this is by far my favorite. This park is one of a kind, and it’s a true gem that only Laurel can proudly claim,” said Laurel Town Manager Jamie Smith.

Smith thanked the Nanticoke Indian tribe for sharing their stores as well as the Ramble committee for believing in the project. The total cost of the project was $1,661,322 with $1,642,000 of that coming from grants and contributions. Less than $20,000 of the cost came from town funds.
Smith thanked the following for supporting the project: Laurel Women’s Civic Club, Laurel Lions Club, Sen. Coons and Sen. Carper, Community Project Funding, Representative Tim Dukes and Sen. Bryant Richardson, Community Transportation Funds, Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation, Delaware Department of Natural Resources, University of DE Sea Grant, Nanticoke Watershed Alliance, and Laurel Redevelopment Corporation.
Dr. Jules Bruck, former director of the School of Landscape Architecture at the University of Delaware, at the request of Ed Lewandowski of the Delaware Sea Grant Program, volunteered her expertise to design the park. Her goal was to create a space that not only reflected Laurel’s rich history but also stood out as a unique and memorable location. In her research, Dr. Bruck uncovered the important role the Nanticoke Tribe played…

Bonnie Hall, a leader in the Nanticoke Nation, will kick off the event with welcoming remarks, and Ragghi Rain, a renowned Native American storyteller, will share traditional stories about the cultural heritage and wisdom of Native American people. The Nanticoke Nation’s multigenerational dance group will share a vibrant dance performance.
Light refreshments, including indigenous and sustainably grown coffee and chocolate from the Peruvian Amazon, will be available following the performances.
“One of the key aspects of this event is the on-campus collaboration,” said Lori Birrell, associate University librarian for special collections and the director of museums. “It is emblematic of what the Library, Museums and Press is doing — creating content and events that engage people to think critically about the world around them.”
UD’s efforts toward highlighting Indigenous communities continues beyond Cultural Immersion. Attendees are also encouraged to visit the Mechanical Hall Gallery to view the MINE exhibition, an exploration of the impact of the illegal gold mining boom on the Madre de Dios region in the Peruvian Amazon and the ramifications endured by the people and the land.
The MINE exhibit — presented in collaboration with the Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research Foundation, Amazon Aid, AWA and Studio Verde — is free of charge and open to the public 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays until Dec. 13 and again from Feb. 4 to May 15, 2025.
Inquiries about future collaborations with the Library, Museums and Press’ Special Collections and Museums staff should be emailed to Lori Birrell.
