No Comments on H.S. Boys Basketball: Nanticoke Area downs rival Hanover Area in D2-4A quarterfinals

NANTICOKE — A rapid pace that had fans from the rival schools yelling at each trip down court came to a grinding halt with two minutes left in the second quarter Wednesday night.

That was fine with Hanover Area, which had a couple guys in foul trouble. And it was fine with Nanticoke Area, which wanted the Hawkeyes to challenge the stall in the backcourt. If not, the Trojans were content with taking their chances in the second half.

As for some fans of both teams, they voiced their disapproval of the strategy … but it worked for Nanticoke Area. The Trojans outscored their neighbor Hanover Area by 13 points in the final two quarters, picking up a 57-44 victory in a District 2 Class 4A boys basketball quarterfinal game.

Nanticoke Area (14-10) will now get two cracks at making the PIAA 4A state playoffs. The first shot is a tough one as the Trojans will travel to top-seeded Dallas (22-3) for a 7 p.m. semifinal game Saturday. The game was originally scheduled for 1 p.m.

If the Trojans fail there, there is the third-place game on Tuesday against the loser of the other semifinal between Scranton Prep and Mid Valley.

Hanover Area ended its season at 11-12.

Nanticoke Area rode a strong first-half offensive performance by Chris Johnson, who scored 16 of his game-high 23 points, to shake off a slow start. Johnson pushed the pace, but spent most of the final two minutes of the half with the ball tucked under his arm near midcourt.

“We wanted them to come out and play us,” Nanticoke Area coach Zach Pientka said. “Why didn’t they come out and play us? We wanted them to come out and play us. They play us…

No Comments on TidalHealth updates visitation policy for Labor & Delivery units

DELMARVA – Starting today, February 21st, TidalHealth has changed the visitation policy for its Labor & Delivery and Mother/Baby Units only at its Salisbury and Seaford hospitals.

Two designated and banded visitors will be allowed in Labor & Delivery; these designated visitors will not be allowed to change during the patient’s stay. Doulas on the approved list are allowed in Labor & Delivery in addition to the two designated and banded visitors.

Once the patient and newborn move to the Mother/Baby unit, only one of the two designated visitors will be allowed to stay, and the other must leave. Once in Mother/Baby, the banded designation cannot change or be shared among visitors.

The current visitation policy in other areas of the hospitals is not changing. On entry, all visitors will be screened for fever and COVID-19 symptoms. Anyone who is feeling sick or feverish should stay home and will not be allowed to proceed to a patient floor if they are found to have a fever or symptoms. Visitors are not allowed to wait inside any TidalHealth lobby prior to visiting hours, which are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., 7 days a week.

Empire proposes to resurrect Nanticoke industry dream with development

No Comments on Empire proposes to resurrect Nanticoke industry dream with development

Empire Communities Inc. has pitched Haldimand council with a Nanticoke development proposal that claims to transform the largest and least populated industrial park in the province into a community that would attract people and jobs.

The planner for the multinational developer approached council on Feb. 14 and said that Empire Communities purchased 1,700 hectares that surround Stelco, and with it wants to build a community, incorporating 15,000 residential units with commercial sites, a school and waterfront lands donated to the county.

The plan would start with building water and wastewater infrastructure, and the company proposed changes to the county’s water supply project, the decommissioning of current and future wastewater systems along Haldimand’s Highway 6 corridor and incorporating water and wastewater treatment into one main 75-megalitre-per-day plant. The size was approved in a 2011 environmental assessment.

It would cost $180 million. Currently, the county has $80 million planned for related projects, and Empire proposed to chip in to start up development.

Most of Empire Communities Inc.’s land falls within provincially significant employment lands, and the county has been asked to request provincial rezoning permissions to start development. They estimate proposed commercial sites would generate at least 7,000 jobs.

Both the mayor and several councillors voiced their support for the project, and directed staff to create a report on the feasibility of the project for its March 1 committee session.

Last of the coal-fired generators bites the dust–literally

No Comments on Last of the coal-fired generators bites the dust–literally

The last of Ontario’s coal-fired power generation stations is no more. A demolition crew successfully imploded the Lambton Generating Station near Courtright, south of Sarnia early Sunday morning. Traffic on was halted around the site which sits on the shores of the St. Clair River while the operation was underway. Ship traffic on the river was also paused.

Lambton Generating Station was first fired up in 1969 during a period of rapid expansion by Ontario Hydro into thermal generation. State of the art in its day, the plant boasted the installation of “scrubbers” aimed at reducing emissions. Lambton was opened before the coal fired plant at Nanticoke and the oil-fired Lennox plant near Kingston came on stream.

“The three stacks and the boilers came down at 7:42 a.m.,” said Neal Kelly, an Ontario Power Generation spokesperson. “It went as planned,” he said. “We had the weather conditions that we needed.” In a tweet OPG said “Lambton GS was safely imploded today. It was part of OPG’s coal closure, which remains one of the world’s single largest climate change actions. We now look to decarbonize the future with our clean hydro, a refurbished Darlington Nuclear and our planned Small Modular Reactors.”
