SU to Host Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby July 23

No Comments on SU to Host Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby July 23

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…

No Comments on AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL ROUNDUPGreater Pittston Senior team takes over league lead

The Greater Pittston Senior American Legion Baseball team made the most of a busy week, winning Wyoming Valley League games each day from Monday through Thursday.

Greater Pittston used the four wins to take over the league lead at 8-2 heading into the final week of the regular season.

The team returns to action Monday with a doubleheader against Back Mountain, completing a suspended game in which it leads 5-3 in the bottom of the fifth, then moving on to play a full game.

Greater Pittston will host the league playoffs beginning Saturday.

Greater Pittston 8, Wilkes-Barre/Plains 1

Nick Cerasaro shut down Wilkes-Barre/Plains, with relief help from Sean Petrosky and Anthony Cencetti, Thursday to lead the team’s fourth win in as many days.

Cerasaro worked five innings. He did not allow a base runner over his final three innings.

Petrosky and Cencetti each worked a scoreless inning.

Jeremy Cawley, Troy Davis, Cencetti, Cerasaro and Matt Stepanski all had at least two hits.

Greater Pittston 6, Nanticoke 4

Troy Davis threw out a runner at the plate in the seventh inning to help secure Wednesday’ victory.

Davis singled and scored on a two-out Hunter Lawall triple in the first inning.

Nanticoke tied the game in the fourth, but Kyle Skutack singled with two out in the fifth and scored on a Jeremy Cawley single.

Davis, winning pitcher Casey Noone, Anthony Cencetti and Cam Moser all had hits in the two-run sixth.

Noone allowed just four runners in the first six innings and got the first out of the seventh before Jack Mathis came on to notch the save.

Greater Pittston 11, Wilkes-Barre/Plains 3

Hunter Lawall drove in four runs by going 3-for-3 with a triple in Tuesday’s romp.

No Comments on Summer Fun Cardboard Boat Race

It’s that time of the year again when you start saving cardboard, get a team together, design and build a boat that can take you 100 yards (half that for kids)! Besides all the fun building a boat, it’s fun to compete and some would say even more fun to cheer on the competitors! Past participants have even found that it’s also great advertising for your business, church, club and youth groups.

So, come to the Nanticoke River Marina in Blades at 11 a.m. on Aug. 5 (raindate Aug. 6) and join in the festivities, whether it’s enjoying a Delmarva Model Boat Club demonstration, visiting our partner displays, voting for People’s Choice Award, cheering on competitors or simply enjoying our grilled angus burgers and all-beef hot dogs!

This is Reclaim Our River-Nanticoke’s seventh regatta and is the group’s only fundraiser to support our year’s worth of educational, recreational and restoration programs. Go to nanticokeriver.org/rcbr or call Nan Zamorski at 434-294-3736 for any questions.

‘We have to rebuild this thing’

Earth Conservancy plan would restore section of Nanticoke Creek buried under breaker site

HANOVER TWP. — If you travel up State Route 2010 from Wilkes-Barre and turn off the road just before you enter Nanticoke, you will come to a winding dirt path. If you travel far enough up that path — assuming your car can handle the rough and bumpy terrain — you will eventually find yourself atop an old railroad embankment, about a few thousand feet from where the Truesdale Coal Breaker once stood.

It’s a relatively flat, albeit rocky, area surrounded by thick, green foliage, but if it were 120 years ago, you’d actually be standing in the middle of the Nanticoke Creek, a small sub-watershed of the Susquehanna River basin.

Now, in the wake of decades of anthracite coal mining that scarred the land and buried the creek underneath 60 feet of embankment, Earth Conservancy has moved forward with plans to reclaim the site and restore the stream to its natural flow.

The non-profit organization was recently awarded a nearly $1.96 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Brownfields and Land Revitalization Program to begin restoration of the upper reaches of the Nanticoke Creek, which runs through Hanover and Newport Townships, as well as Warrior Run.

During a press conference Wednesday afternoon, Earth Conservancy President and CEO Terence Ostrowski explained that Phases One and Two of the project, funded by the grant from the EPA, will restore 2,000 linear feet of stream channel in the lower reaches of the watershed, which must be completed before they can begin work on the upper areas.

In addition, a small channel currently aligned at Clarks Cross Road, which flows directly behind the Dundee Apartments, will be relocated in an attempt to…
