[]Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney comes to Wilkes-Barre, meets with 7 NEPA mayors | WOLFPlease ensure Javascript is enabled for purposes ofwebsite accessibility Continue reading

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney joined the monthly roundtable of mayors in our area.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney is the newest addition to the monthly meeting of the mayors hosted by Wilkes-Barre Mayor George Brown.

“Just exchanging ideas and you know, get to learn something from everybody,” said Kenney. “We got the infrastructure bill that’s coming and it’s going to have to be some consensus on state projects, and the northeast has similar issues that we’re dealing with. So in addition to COVID, and some of the other things you have to deal with, it’s always nice to get out of the city for a little bit exchange ideas with other people.”

The other mayors besides Wilkes-Barre’s and Philadelphia’s at the table are the mayor of Hazleton, Nanticoke, Scranton, Kingston, Williamsport, and Pittston.

“For me, the size of the city, it’s really all about numbers, issues, whether it’s COVID or budgets or police, the issues are kind of the same,” said Pittston Mayor Michael Lombardo. “It’s just what the multiplicative factor is. So it’s great to be here and exchange ideas. It’s nice to expand a group a little bit and have some different insights that will be here.”

“We don’t know everything. I mean, we can always learn from somebody and they do things differently or better. We can take that and take it back home and implement it there,” added Kenney.

Philadelphia just announced a vaccine mandate for indoor dining and sporting events to start next year—something Mayor Kenney says he’s ready to discuss, but it’s not something mayors in our area are prepared to make a decision on.

“I don’t know much about it. And hopefully, we’ll learn more today about that,” said Wilkes-Barre Mayor George Brown about the topic.

Mayor Brown is hoping to…

Similar to Indigenous people across the country, Millsboro’s Nanticoke Indians believe in the concept of living and working now to the benefit of tribal members seven generations into the future. With the recent donation of 30 acres of ancestral land, future generations of the Nanticoke Indian Association will look back at 2021 as a year that tribal elders did in fact work toward that common goal.

The donated acreage has an address of Rosdale Road. It’s a triangular shape that stretches from immediately behind the NIA Tribal Center off Route 24 to the western tree line of Warwick Park to the east. There’s a small portion of land that sits across the street, near the intersection with Gull Point Road. According to Sussex County property records, the land was sold in late October for approximately $990,000.

Nanticoke Indian Chief Natosha Carmine, the tribe’s first woman chief, was the driving force behind the land donation and quick to point out the Nanticokes didn’t put one dollar toward the land. She said she wanted to try and get the parcel because it will help build a strong community among tribal members.

There’s always been a vision for the tribe to have a safe place to commune and be a part of a larger group, said Carmine. There are thoughts of putting in a walking path, a large pavilion and some athletic fields, she said.

“It’s a vision that will be defined in the future,” said Carmine.

Former Nanticoke Tribal Council member Bonnie Hall happened to be at the tribal center during the interview with Carmine. The donation is personal for her, she said – she can recall playing on that same field as a child, because it was once owned by her aunt Madge Harmon and uncle Wilbur Harmon.

“There’s…

Carol Lynn Hudson, 42, of Millsboro passed away Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021, from complications of COVID.

She was born Feb. 25, 1979, in Salisbury, Md., to David Jones Sr. and Peggy Klaverweiden, who survive her.

Carol was a former bus driver for Dutton Busing until she retired to help with the care of her mother-in-law. She was a member of the Journey, A Wesleyan Church in Millsboro, where she was a former youth director and was active in Vacation Bible School and Trunk or Treat sponsored by the Journey. She was a graduate of Delmar High School Class of 1997 and held an associate degree in Christian theology.

She enjoyed baking, and would make wedding cakes and cupcakes for different events. She also enjoyed attending the Denton Wesleyan Camp every summer and working in the snack shop. Carol loved all children and her dog Arctic. She was a wonderful wife and mother, and will be dearly missed.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by her husband of 24 years, Eugene A. Hudson; two daughters, Lillian Paige Hudson and Megan Rilla Hudson, all of Millsboro. Carol also has five siblings surviving: Lorrie Sonnier (Patrick) of Salisbury, Beth Tull (Scott) of Easton, Md., Angela Payne (Robert) of Nanticoke, Md., David Jones Jr. of Nanticoke, and Joshua Nichols (Heather Booth) of Hebron, Md. She also leaves behind nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 11, at the Journey, A Wesleyan Church, 255 Wilson Hwy., Millsboro, where friends may call from 12 to 1 p.m. for visitation. Interment will be private. The Rev. Martin Furrow will officiate.

Carmine said the land will be used for an array of Nanticoke activities, including hiking, lacrosse games and its annual powwow celebration.

“We renew and refresh our spirits,’’ Carmine said of the powwow, which has been held on leased lands. “We remember our ancestors. We share our culture and customs with the public, and we have tribal communities that come together with us.”

The Nanticoke tribe’s annual powwow is a celebration of its culture and customs. (Nanticoke Indian tribe)

An official at The Conservation Fund said the bulk of the money for the deals came from Mt. Cuba Center. Known for its botanical gardens on a former du Pont family estate a few miles from President Biden’s home, the nonprofit also focuses on land conservation.

Downing said the properties “were two parcels that were of great cultural and historic significance to our Delaware tribes.”

Restoring the lands to the tribes “just seemed like such a great way to give back to the community,’’ Downing said. “Part of our mission is conserving or fostering biodiversity because it enhances resilience. So it just seemed like helping to support Native American communities was one way that we could help support the diversity of our community.”

Dennis “White Otter” Coker, the principal chief of the Lenape tribe, recently told The Washington Post they might turn part of the 11 acres into an “edible forest garden” that would include berry-producing plants, along with shad and spice bushes that were once used by Native Americans and are native to the area.

Luzerne County’s five-citizen Redevelopment Authority board will be at the center of earmarking a major pot of funding for large-scale public infrastructure projects.

This windfall — a total $75 million over 25 years — is coming from the gambling-funded Local Share Account.

It will create a new Luzerne County Public Infrastructure Program that may end up providing some of the funds needed to address two deteriorated county-owned bridges over the Susquehanna River: the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge connecting Nanticoke and Plymouth Township and the Firefighters’ Memorial Bridge on Water Street linking Pittston and West Pittston, officials say.

The fund’s creation is occurring because the entire county legislative delegation supported new state legislation (Act 24 of 2021) that carves out $3 million from the average $11 million to $12 million Local Share Account earmarked in the county annually, said state Sen. John Yudichak, I-Swoyersville, who pushed for the change.

That will still leave approximately $9 million that can be given out for a range of community purposes annually, such as the purchase of municipal equipment and vehicles, officials say. While the county’s Local Share Account has addressed many pressing public needs, some have criticized its failure to address more big-ticket regional projects.

Under the new program, the Redevelopment Authority is set to receive the $3 million annually for 25 years so the money can be used to repay funds it borrows to pay for current major capital projects, officials say.

Borrowing of more than $50 million is envisioned, although the final package will depend on borrowing costs and other factors, according to officials and documents.

“It’s creating a whole new infrastructure program. There’s nothing like it anywhere in the state,” Yudichak said.

Applications for public infrastructure projects will be submitted to…
