Expansion to Nanticoke community center in Millsboro approved

GEORGETOWN — A proposal to allow the Nanticoke Indian Cultural Community Center in Millsboro to build out its structure and offer more services was approved by Sussex County Council on Tuesday.

“This would double the size of the cultural community center, allow it to have some new restrooms, a food bank, a flex space for children’s areas and classrooms, additional meeting rooms for arts and crafts,” said David Hutt, an attorney representing the Nanticoke Indian Association before the council.

He added that the approval will also permit existing space in the 27073 John J. Williams Highway facility to be redeveloped.

Cultural programs like drum or dance classes can be held more easily in the larger space, Mr. Hutt added, while certain offerings that require more privacy, like internal ceremonies, can also have their own areas in the bigger location.

The expansion will address these issues and more, Chief Avery Johnson said during an earlier interview.

“We have a lot of elders, so we have to make sure we are prepared. We offer financial literacy and financial independence training, computer training, along with other important issues like the domestic violence roundtables and other discussions we have,” he said, explaining the building’s necessity for growth.

Mr. Hutt continued, “The association plans to extensively renovate the existing structure, as well, and to provide outside added parking areas, walkways, native artwork and some new lighting and landscaping.”

To complete these plans, the applicant sought a change to the conditional use of the property, which has limited building size.

In addition to the size restrictions, the parcel on which the center sits has several legal constraints upon it, including a provision that would revert ownership of the land back to the Indian River School District should it ever not be used as a tribal center,…

Quilts of Valor Chapter honors veterans from Nanticoke, Sugar Notch

 			 				 Submitted photo

Submitted photo

Jose and Margaret Arroyo, of the Hanover Section of Nanticoke, and Dominick Panetta, of Sugar Notch, were recently honored by the Northeast PA Quilts of Valor Chapter at the Plains American Legion Post 365.

Jose Arroyo enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves in 1989. A two-year veteran, he served as a member of the 340th Military Police, Jamaica, NY. He completed basic training at Fort McClellan, AL and attended U.S. Armor School, served in Germany, and attained Top Security Clearance.

Returning to the United States, his unit was back-up support for Desert Storm/Desert Shield. He was honorably discharged in 1991.

Margaret Arroyo, while a 2002 senior at Greater Nanticoke High School, enlisted in the U.S. Army National Guard at Fort Indiantown Gap, PA. Following basic training at Fort Jackson, SC, she was sent to Fort Lee, VA to begin her training as an aircraft refueler and later training as a helicopter gunner.

Called to active duty as part of Company G104th Aviation, she served for 15 months in both Afghanistan and Kandahar. There the honoree completed 32 missions as both a daytime and night vision door gunner on Chinook helicopters in which they would pick up or drop off infantry and supplies in “hot areas.”

After returning to Indiantown Gap in 2004, she continued serving the National Guard and was honorably discharged in 2007.

Dominick Panetta joined the U.S. Marines in 1962 as a part of the 120-delay program while completing his senior year at Nanticoke High School. Following basic training at Parris Island, SC, he was assigned to Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, NJ training as a parachute rigger. To successfully complete the training, Panetta had to complete…

Hamilton steelmaker Stelco sold to Cleveland-Cliffs for $3.4B

Hamilton-based steelmaker Stelco Holdings Inc. is set to be acquired by U.S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. for $3.4 billion Cdn.

Stelco said it has agreed to sell all issued and outstanding common shares for $70 per share to the Ohio-based steel producer.

Stelco chief executive Alan Kestenbaum said he is confident Cleveland-Cliffs will remain a reliable supplier to its customers while maintaining Stelco’s “stature and reputation in Canada and maintaining our Canadian national interests.”

Currently, Stelco maintains two major steelmaking facilities in Ontario — one each in Hamilton and Nanticoke.

CBC Hamilton reached out to Stelco for an interview. However, the company said no one was available for comment.

Stelco said in a news release that as part of the agreement, it will keep its headquarters in Hamilton and build on its existing 1,000-employee footprint in Canada. It will also retain Canadian representation on its management team.

The news release also said Cleveland-Cliffs will continue Stelco’s current community commitments, including collaboration with McMaster University and the CanmetMATERIALS research centre, and maintain the existing research chairs with McMaster. The company will also retain its partnership with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Forge FC, and its 40 per cent equity interest and the master lease of Tim Hortons Field.

Getting Nanticoke ‘the real gem,’ expert says

Kestenbaum acquired Stelco in 2016 after the company went into creditor protection in 2004 and was sold as a subsidiary to U.S. Steel Co. in 2007. It then returned to creditor protection in 2014 before signing an agreement to be acquired by Kestenbaum’s Bedrock Industries in late 2016.

Cleveland-Cliffs president and CEO Lourenco Goncalves said Kestenbaum was able to turn an “underperforming asset under previous ownership into a very cost-efficient and profit-oriented company.”

He said the deal “keeps national interests at the forefront and recognizes the importance of the workforce,” noting Stelco respects the union representing…

7 Budget-Friendly Towns in Pennsylvania for Retirees

One of Pennsylvania‘s favorite sons, Fred Rogers, famously said, “Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.” Therefore, when it is time to retire, view it through the lens of exciting possibilities. Choosing an environment that benefits your wallet and social life is vital. Pennsylvania provides you with both. All forms of retirement income are tax-free in the Keystone State, and some seniors qualify for rebates on housing costs and property taxes. These perks come in addition to living amongst part of the country’s most beautiful communities.

Lancaster

Lancaster is one of the state’s most walkable cities, with easy access to shopping, parks, and medical care. Its median house costs $290,000, and its connection to natural resources is unparalleled. With a vibrant history, this town is one of the most visited in the state. However, its expansive rural farmland maintains residents’ privacy and safety.

Home to the largest Amish community in the US, Lancaster defines benevolence and goodwill toward neighbors. Its proximity to Philadelphia and Baltimore allows residents to experience the urban amenities but return to their quiet oasis at day’s end.

Established in 1730, Lancaster Central Market is the oldest continuously operated shopping area in the country. It is always in need of volunteers to assist, and it is a great place to socialize, make new friends, and find amazing deals.

President Yudichak embarks on new era at Luzerne County Community College

Jul. 7—NANTICOKE — Sitting in his office overlooking the Luzerne County Community College campus, new President John Yudichak recalled a conversation he had with his father nearly 50 years ago.

Yudichak, 54, began his tenure as LCCC’s eighth President on July 1, taking the helm of the largest and most accessible institution of higher education in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

“We were sitting on our front porch in Plymouth Township,” Yudichak said, talking about his father, Joe Yudichak. “I noticed a building being built across the river — it was LCCC.”
