PORT COLBORNE, Ont. (June 30, 2022) – Mitch Brown earned his first sword on Thursday night at Humberstone Speedway, withstanding pressure from several challengers to take his first Pinty’s Knights of Thunder 360 Sprint Car A-Main win.

Mitch Brown and Brayden Cooley were on the front row for the 25 lap A-Main, and Brown took the early lead while Mack DeMan and Mikey Kruchka jockeyed for the third spot. DeMan was strong on the high side, especially in turns three and four, and drove around Cooley to take the second position on lap four. Cooley then tried the upper lane, but Kruchka drove around him on the inside to take third.

Brown lived up to his “Downtown” nickname, methodically running the low side lap after lap. DeMan began to track down the leader and was less than half a second behind when the yellow flag came out for Jim Huppunen’s flat tire. Kruchka was still in third at this point, but pulled off the track with brake and rear end problems just as the green flag was about to come back out. Cory Turner inherited the third spot as a result.

Brown held serve again while DeMan and Turner diced for the second spot until another yellow flag appeared for a Dan Nanticoke spin. Aaron Turkey then stopped with a flat tire just as the green flag was about to reappear, and when it finally did Turkey’s teammate Cooley brought out the yellow again with a front suspension problem. Cooley’s bad luck moved Ryan Turner and Travis Cunningham into fourth and fifth, respectively, with Brown, DeMan, and Cory Turner ahead of them.

The green flag stayed out only briefly, as things went from bad to worse for Huppunen, Nanticoke, and Turkey who all tangled in turn one. Huppunen and Nanticoke restarted, but Turkey’s night…

SEAFORD, Del.- TidalHealth Nanticoke is getting $350,000 in federal funding that will help keep Delawareans healthy by addressing health disparities in under-resourced communities within Western Sussex County including Georgetown, Millsboro, Selbyville, Laurel, Seaford, Delmar, Blades Bethel and Bridgeville.

“We’ve been waiting on this cause for a time I couldn’t get to the doctors appointments, even when you made transportation they couldn’t pick you up because something got in the way; but now someone has heard our voice,” Laverne Whitmire, a resident at Meadow Bridge Apartments in Seaford, said.

TidalHealth will use this funding towards outfitting a mobile health clinic, to provide health screenings, multidisciplinary health services, education and outreach in community-based settings. “It’s going to be staffed with a registered nurse and a community health worker who will be able to do preventive health screenings such as take peoples A1C’s, find out their cholesterol, flu shots, COVID shots, but also health education,” Kat Rodgers, Director of Community Health Initiatives for TidalHealth said.

This announcement is something that made resident Whitmire emotional. “You don’t even know what you have started here, this is going to be such a tremendous out pouring of love,” Whitmire said.

But, she’s not the only one feeling this way. “It’s a big responsibility,” Penny Short, Tidal Health Nanticoke President, said. “We are ready and willing to be there for all of you.”

Rodgers said this idea came about when they started to do community vaccination clinics during the pandemic. “What we saw is that people had a lot of barriers to accessing all healthcare and people didn’t know they had diabetes or hypertension,” Rodgers said. “And, so once the pandemic sort of got under control that caused us to say, well what can we do differently? How can we provide healthcare and access differently?”

NANTICOKE, Ont. – Negotiations for a new collective agreement at Stelco in Nanticoke, Ont., have stalled, says Randy Graham, President of the United Steelworkers union, Local 8782.

The union filed with the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB), on June 22, 2022, requesting a conciliator. Members of the union will take part in a strike authorization vote on June 27, 2022. The current five-year collective agreement expires on June 30, 2022.

Over 1,000 USW members work at Stelco’s Nanticoke operations in production and skilled trades, producing hot-rolled coil steel.

Key issues at the bargaining table are wages, benefits and pensions.

“Other large Canadian industrial companies like Bombardier and ArcelorMittal Long Products are paying their workers 18-26% increases over five or six years. Our members see that and they know they deserve to keep pace. Instead, the company is offering to shuffle around our pay and bonuses to disguise the fact that there’s only a small overall increase,” said Graham.

Workers at ArcelorMittal Long Products are represented by the United Steelworkers union in Quebec and ratified a new collective agreement in February.

Cost of living data released just yesterday, show annual inflation has rocketed to 7.7%, higher than at any time since 1983.

“Stelco has the wallet to handsomely reward its shareholders and to buy in to the Hamilton Tiger Cats football club. You can see Stelco signage all over the stadium at games. Well, it’s time to recognize the workers that are doing the hard work that contributes to the company’s success,” said Graham.

“These steelworkers have worked hard as essential workers, throughout the pandemic, and delivered the product that brought over $2 billion in sales for Stelco in the last year,” said Myles Sullivan, USW Ontario Director.

“Now…
