Sour Orange Diesel Kush—Nanticoke, NY, fall 2023

80 points out of 100

Price: $55/eighth

We got actual notes of sour, orange, diesel, and kush from this 2023 sungrown light-dep strain in New York’s nascent legal market. The green nugs proved to be medium-density of varying sizes—and we got the sense that they had been a tad overdried. The Sour Orange Diesel Kush ground up nice and fragrant, but we wanted the taste to be more full-bodied and terpy.

However, the hybrid effects did deliver, and put a zest in our step as we explored Washington Square Park and more of Manhattan. I don’t think a newby New York tourist would be mad about this pick from Union Square Travel Agency. But it won’t wow a connoisseur either.

Greater Nanticoke Area School Board appoints new member, limits tax hike

NANTICOKE — Technically, Greater Nanticoke Area School Board should have been swearing in four people who won in the November election during Thursday’s re-organization meeting: Incumbents Tony Prushinski and Mark Cardone, and newcomers Erika Jacobs and David Vnuk. Yet a fifth person joined them with right hand raised: Chet Beggs. Moments earlier the board had voted to appoint Beggs to fill the seat of Mark O’Connor, who resigned last month.

There was arguably some irony in the scene. Both in the primary and general elections the ballots prepared by the Luzerne County election bureau told voters to pick up to five candidates, yet only four seats were open. The county contends the error was caused by the district, which tells the county how many seats are open in each election. The mix up had no impact as only four people filed paperwork and got on the ballot, and no write-in candidates in the Primary nabbed enough votes to have any claim to being on the November ballot.

After the swearing in the board voted to give Tony Prushinski another year as president, and made Wendy Graves vice-president. Vito DeLuca was kept as solicitor for 2024 with a retainer of $29,000. After that meeting was adjourned, the board immediately started its regular monthly meeting.

The relatively light agenda included accepting the resignation of head football coach Ron Bruza Jr., who was thanked and praised by several board members, and voting to keep any 2023-24 tax increase at or below a state set limit.

The tax limit is known as the Act 1 Index and can vary year to year and among districts. This year’s index is higher than usual, with Greater Nanticoke’s set at 8.1% — compared to 6.2% last year and 5.1%…

Invasive Catfish Pose Threat to Eastern Shore Waterways, Research Reveals

SALISBURY, MD – In a two-year investigation conducted by Salisbury University researcher and professor, Dr. Noah Bressman, the invasive blue catfish has emerged as a major concern for fishermen and environmental groups in the Eastern Shore region. Termed “dumpsters of the sea” by researchers and watermen, these non-native predators exhibit a huge and rather ‘just about anything’ appetite, consuming a wide array of species and posing a threat to the delicate balance of local ecosystems.

Bressman, who led the first-of-its-kind study on the Eastern Shore, focused on the Nanticoke River, its tributaries, and the Marshyhope Creek. Over a thousand catfish were captured and dissected during the investigation, revealing a startling trend in their dietary habits.

“Literally the first catfish we studied—47 pounds—we pulled it out, cut open its stomach, and found a whole adult duck in its stomach, and from there it got weirder and weirder,” recounted Dr. Bressman.

Contrary to the idea that these catfish will consume anything in their path, Bressman noted, “Everything’s got their own preference. Just because they eat just about anything and everything that swims by them doesn’t mean they don’t have a preference. We can figure out what species are most of concern here.” The study found that compared to other tributaries, the catfish in the Nanticoke river region are consuming a significantly higher amount of blue crabs, white perch, and threatening the already endangered river herring.

Dr. Bressman added, “What we are seeing them eating is lots of white perch, lots of river herring which are threatened, and also tons of blue crabs which is obviously problematic for Maryland.”

At the Wittman Wharf Catfish Processing Plant, owned by Nick Hargrove, the findings align with their observations. “A lot of times when we open up the bellies on these fish, we see a wide range of species. The catfish…
