Why Townsend cannot house Empire’s Nanticoke development

A faded monolith introducing visitors to Townsend's village centre offices stands as lingering evidence of Ontario's plan for a city of 250,000. In the last year, election campaigns have discussed Townsend as an alternative to Empire Communities' plan for a residential development around Stelco's Lake Erie Works.A faded monolith introducing visitors to Townsend's village centre offices stands as lingering evidence of Ontario's plan for a city of 250,000. In the last year, election campaigns have discussed Townsend as an alternative to Empire Communities' plan for a residential development around Stelco's Lake Erie Works.

In the debate surrounding Haldimand County council’s request for a minister’s zoning order (MZO) to allow for the development of industrially zoned lands around Nanticoke as a mixed-use community, many in the have asked whether the 1970s plan to expand Townsend could be an alternative.

Townsend was once planned to be Haldimand-Norfolk’s central metropolis of 250,000, with shops and trails, a library and art gallery, nine schools and an indoor athletic centre, a train station and even a movie theatre.

Today, fewer than 2,000 people reside within the urban boundary, which has no more room to expand. Residents don’t have any of the once-proposed amenities except for the man-made pond and an outdoor sports area.

Former municipal offices now house the local Children’s Aid Society and regional mental health services.

Only 161 hectares of the planned 34,595 hectares were ever developed, and after selling to some farmers, the province held on to the remaining 567 hectares.

Infrastructure Ontario declined to answer questions by the Sachem, but there are currently no provincially owned surplus lands being offered for sale surrounding Townsend.

Retired provincial planner Ted Visser said in the 1970s, the province wanted “to move toward orderly growth so as…

Six Nations’ huge battery project is the future of energy supply in Ontario — and maybe all of Canada

The future of Ontario’s energy supply — perhaps even Canada’s — depends on 10 acres of rugged land wedged between an oil refinery and a steel plant some two hours south of Toronto.

This is not land humans can live on. But it is land that powers their lives — literally, in the past, present and future. It’s surrounded by an endless grid, a maze of grey steel frames and white wind turbines casting enormous shadows on the ground, as thick black and grey plumes float through the air from the Imperial Oil and surrounding aggregate and steel facilities framing the horizon. 

This energy corridor was created just a few kilometres away from Six Nations of the Grand River, the only reserve in North America where all six Haudenosaunee Nations live together. It was built around them in the early 20th century, without their input or consent.

But the currents are shifting. Decades of energy policy is being transformed on these 10 acres of land where, in two years, 278 batteries will be able to power a city the size of Oshawa, Ont. (population 410,000). If the energy stored in the batteries comes from renewable sources, carbon pollution equivalent to that generated by 40,000 cars will be kept out of the atmosphere every year.

This energy corridor is soon to be the site of Canada’s largest battery storage farm and the third largest in the world: the Oneida Energy Storage Project. Now under construction, the project will be part-owned by Six Nations, which also owns many of the wind turbines spinning around it.

Energy storage is as it sounds: technology that allows for energy created by any source, from solar power to natural gas, to be stored for later use. For over a century, energy has largely been sent down…

Adam Bomberry and Tehoka Nanticoke from Six Nations of the Grand River — along with their team, the Buffalo Bandits — are National Lacrosse League champions.

The team beat the Colorado Mammoth 13-4 on June 3 to win the best-of-three NLL championship in three games.

In a news release from Six Nations of the Grand River, Chief Mark B. Hill offered his congratulations to Bomberry, Nanticoke and their team for the accomplishment.

“Adam and Tehoka are tremendous individuals, and I couldn’t be happier for them,” Hill said. “What they do on and off the floor is amazing and they represent Six Nations in a way we are all proud of. Enjoy your accomplishment.”

Nanticoke man sentenced for threatening child caseworker

Jun. 8—WILKES-BARRE — A Nanticoke man accused in separate incidents involving aiming a handgun at a Luzerne County Children and Youth Services caseworker and a police officer and throwing a car battery through a windshield of a vehicle occupied by a toddler was sentenced in Luzerne County Court Thursday.

Cory Ma Gonzalez Crudop, 41, was sentenced by President Judge Michael T. Vough to 11 to 22 months at the county correctional facility on four total counts of simple assault and a single count of terroristic threats. Crudop was also ordered to perform 30 hours of community service.

Crudop pled guilty to the charges April 10 when prosecutors withdrew several felony counts of aggravated assault.

Nanticoke police accused Crudop of placing the barrel of a handgun in the mouth of a woman during a domestic dispute and threw a car battery through the windshield of a vehicle occupied by an 11-month old girl in the area of 64 Hill St., Nanticoke, on July 12, 2022, according to court records.

Two days after the domestic incident, two caseworkers from Children & Youth Services being assisted by three Nanticoke police officers inspected the residence on Hill Street where Crudop hid in the basement.

A Nanticoke police officer found Crudop who stood accused of aiming a handgun at the officer before fleeing the residence through a basement door.

While running from the house, Crudop aimed a firearm at a caseworker, court records say.

“He has changed his life around and accepted responsibility,” said Crudop’s attorney, Frank T. McCabe.

Building a PLL Expansion Team

By any chance have you ever heard somebody claim that the PLL does not have enough teams to accommodate the amount of talent in the lacrosse world? If so you can be entitled to financial compensation. Only kidding, don’t reach out looking for money, instead see below the prestigious article of PLL’s ninth expansion team, Free Agents LC. A few players on this list may be picked up by the time the article releases, please do not show up outside of my house with pitchforks and torches if this is the case.

Out of curiosity, what would you name your PLL expansion team?

Attack

Tehoka Nanticoke, Randy Staats, Andrew Kew, and Mark Cockerton

For Nanticoke and Staats, they have not had their fair chance at making a push for a roster spot in the PLL. Neither have been active for a game despite having decorated college careers and being world class indoor players. Staats can do a little bit of everything and Tehoka has some of the silkiest mitts in the world, they’re both highlight reel players who bring juice to any offense. Staats would be the quarterback of this offense, 4 years ago he had a 50 point season on 17 goals and 33 assists. Kew is a head scratcher on how he is still unclaimed, the big lefty has proven he can be productive in this league totaling 13 points in 2021 with the Cannons. I remember watching him net 4 goals in one of the Cannons first games in the PLL, two years later he hasn’t cracked a roster since. Cockerton brings a veteran presence to this PLL expansion team, as he is someone who has produced in the professional game for a longtime.

Offensive Midfield

Bryan Cole, Tanner Cook, Jack Jasinski, Sergio Salcido, Christian…

Two Six Nations based athletes help Buffalo Bandits secure NLL Final

BUFFALO, N. Y. — The Buffalo Bandits quest for their first league title since 2008 continued on Saturday, in Buffalo’s Keybank Centre, where they secured the final 13-4 over the Colorado Mammoth.

By TRT Staff with notes from NLL.com

BUFFALO, N. Y. — The Bandits quest for their first league title since 2008 continued on Saturday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m., in Buffalo’s Keybank Centre.

One year ago, nearly the same NLL Final scenario played out at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, with the outcome of 2022’s 15-14 Bandits Game 1 triumph looking mighty similar to this year’s 2023 finals opening act.

Colorado took care of business on their home floor for Game 2 in 2022 as well, winning 11-8 before heading back to Banditland for the Game 3 series clincher. This year, the Mammoth took nearly the same win, 16-10 in their home arena.

But on Saturday night, after 15 long years, Buffalo secured their spot as 2023 NLL Final champions after a strong win of 13-4 over Colorado.

“Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) would like to congratulate Tehoka Nanticoke, Adam Bomberry and the Buffalo Bandits on capturing the National Lacrosse League (NLL) championship,” wrote the SNGR Facebook page.

Nanticoke broke game scoring with the first goal from Josh Bryne, then proceeded to earn multiple assists throughout the remaining game time.

“Congratulations to Tehoka, Adam and the Buffalo Bandits,” Chief Mark B. Hill said. “Adam and Tehoka are tremendous individuals, and I couldn’t be happier for them. What they do on and off the floor is amazing…
