Despite an argument presented by Karisa M. Nanticoke’s lawyer for her to remain in the community under house arrest, Justice Kathleen Baker would not agree and, instead, sent Nanticoke to prison for five years.

Article content

“There was a substantial quantity of just about the worst drug on the market that’s leaving a trail of death and destruction in this community,” Baker said.

“Fentanyl trafficking and addiction is causing substantial problems here in the Brantford community where we have one of the highest rates of hospitalizations and overdoses in the province, and indeed, in the country.”

The judge said that means the “moral culpability” of anyone trafficking in fentanyl is very high.

Nanticoke was one of seven people arrested on Jan. 6, 2021 by Six Nations Police during a raid at a Pine Crescent home in Ohsweken.

SEAFORD, Del.- “We’re very proud of our town, proud of our history, and proud of where we’re headed. This is a big day for us,” Mayor Genshaw said.

Saturday was a celebration of the Nanticoke River along with food, games, and a variety of vendors as the annual Nanticoke Riverfest made a big return to downtown Seaford. “You’ll see as you walk downtown that there are local businesses inside and outside the city limits as well as local personnel selling their own crafts and offerings,” Nanticoke Riverfest Chairwoman Katie Hickey said.

Hickey says what makes this event special is that its 100% locally driven. “All of our entertainment is actually local bands, we get local entertainment for our children’s area, and all of our vendors we try to support locally,” Hickey said.

Seaford Mayor David Genshaw says with the extra foot traffic in town, the event is also an opportunity to showcase all the new things Seaford has to offer. “Today, some people are seeing shops that they may not have known existed. It a great place for our local shop owners to get out and mingle with the crowd and invite them in,” Mayor Genshaw said.

Now in its 28th year, organizers say it takes quite the manpower to make this event possible. “This isn’t run by city government, this is volunteers. Our fire department is out here,  police department, elected and city employees, our downtown association, and then people come from all over the place,” Mayor Genshaw said.

“We love seeing people come out. People are very excited to come down and it’s just grown ever since,” Hickey said.

Seaford High School students also got the opportunity to participate in the Race-A-Cop competition for a chance to win a scholarship.

Jul. 6—Electronic games seized from taverns in Edwardsville, Nanticoke and Wilkes-Barre several years ago by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement will be returned, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled Thursday.

The 12 page ruling by the state appellate court upheld an opinion by Luzerne County Judge Fred A. Pierantoni III that compelled the return of electronic games to Pinnacle Amusements LLC.

BLCE appealed Pierantoni’s opinion to the Commonwealth Court that agreed with the Luzerne County judge.

State police with the BLCE conducted an undercover investigation of gaming machines in taverns, seizing several from Swizzle Sticks in Edwardsville, Park Market Six Packs to Go in Nanticoke and Anthracite Newsstand in Wilkes-Barre in 2019 and 2020.

The machines were considered gambling devices as they were deemed games of chance rather than skill.

The Commonwealth’s Court opinion is another win for the electronic skill game industry as there have been other challenges to the seizure of machine games in other counties.

Using Pierantoni’s opinion, the appellate court determined the games were more skill than chance as it involved a secondary game called “Follow the Banana.”

Follow the Banana has its own rules relying upon a player’s skill than chance at winning, the appellate court ruled.

The gaming machines, manufactured by Banilla Games, Inc., are “nudge” or “hot swap” games, where a player inserts cash and received digital credits on the machine.

The player selects a theme to play, wager an amount, and spins reels. Once the reels stop, the nudge player can rotate or nudge the reels to attempt to align them in a winning pattern.

The hot swap can substitute or swap one of the reel symbols with a symbol held in a pool outside the reels.

If a player was not able to create a winning pattern, the games present an on-screen option to engage in a secondary round play called…

Facing the Orangeville in an Ontario Junior C Lacrosse League best-of-five playoff series, the Warriors trail the Orangemen 2-1 with Game 4 at the Gretzky Centre on Thursday at 8 p.m.

Almost everything on paper indicated the opening-round playoff series should go Orangeville’s way as the Northmen scored 45 more goals than the Warriors in the regular season while allowing 70 goals less.

Orangeville also ended the regular season with a record of 11-8, placing them second, while Brantford was last in the seven-team league with a record of 4-13-1.

However, one of Brantford’s wins this season was against Orangeville and after dropping the opening game on the road, 12-4, the Warriors came back on Sunday to score a 12-10 overtime win.

SALISBURY, MD—Dr. Noah Bressman, Salisbury University assistant professor of biological studies, is combating invasive species in local waterways, and Eastern Shore anglers can help.

Fishing hobbyists and professionals alike are invited to the second Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby, presented by SU Sunday, July 23 (rain date: Saturday, July 29) at Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown, MD. Lines in at 5 a.m. and weigh-in begins at 1:30 p.m., followed by awards, data collection, invasive species educational lessons and a free catfish cookout with Shore Gourmet.

Thanks to support from the Salisbury University Foundation, Inc. and SU’s Graduate Studies and Research Office, the free derby features some $2,000 in prizes. A portion of all blue catfish and northern snakeheads caught will be provided to Bressman’s lab to continue research to learn more about their effects on the local ecosystem, with a focus on diet, growth speed and reproduction rates. Anglers may take home the remainder of their catches if desired. 

“We really want to spread awareness in local waterway communities about what fish are invasive, and how they can minimize the population to relieve some pressure from striped bass and blue crabs, whose populations are on the decline,” said Bressman. “The event is family friendly for anglers of any age.”

Derby fishing is permitted at Cherry Beach Park for shore-based anglers. Those fishing from kayaks or boats may use any boat launch along the Nanticoke and tributaries such as Marshyhope Creek and Barren Creek. Maryland or Delaware tidal fishing licenses are required for most participants, respective to their fishing location. A section of Cherry Beach Park is designated as a license-free fishing zone for those without a license. 

The event is hook and line only and does not include a bow fishing category. Limited fishing gear will be available for those…
