Football Game Preview: Berwick Bulldogs vs. Hanover Area Hawkeyes

Suggested Video

Two dominant backs in Ty’Meere Wilkerson and Dewayne Downey are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Berwick Bulldogs will host the Hanover Area Hawkeyes at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams are coming into the contest red-hot, with Berwick sitting on ten straight wins and Hanover Area on three.

Berwick’s defense heads into the matchup hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. They simply couldn’t be stopped as they easily beat Tunkhannock 53-0. Given the Bulldogs’ advantage in MaxPreps’ Pennsylvania football rankings (they are ranked 173rd, while the Tigers are ranked 493rd) , the win wasn’t entirely unexpected.

Brayden Cleaver

10/24/25 @ Tunkhannock 73
10/17/25 vs Selinsgrove 48
09/05/25 vs Lackawanna Trail 38
09/26/25 vs Wyoming Area 31
10/03/25 @ Greater Nanticoke Area 11

Berwick can attribute much of their success to Brayden Cleaver, who threw for 73 yards and two touchdowns. Those 73 passing yards gave Cleaver a new career-high.

Berwick was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 288 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they’ve now rushed for at least 214 rushing yards every time they’ve taken the field this season.

Meanwhile, Hanover Area put their dominant defense on display in the team’s third consecutive shutout on Friday. They claimed a resounding 63-0 victory over Greater Nanticoke Area. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Hawkeyes just coasted through the last quarter.

Berwick better keep an eye on Logan Richardson. He was instrumental in Hanover Area’s win, throwing for 190 yards and five TDs while completing 88.9% of his passes. Richardson’s passing game has become a key predictor of the Hawkeyes’…

Kuwait hails UN mission’s efforts to promote development, security in Iraq

Kuwait hails UN mission’s efforts to promote development, security in Iraq

Third Secretary at the Permanent Mission of Kuwait to the United Nations, Abdulaziz Al-Saeedi

WASHINGTON, Oct 30: The State of Kuwait commended the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) for its vital role in supporting Iraq’s political stability, enhancing security, and promoting development.

Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, Abdulaziz Al-Saeedi, Third Secretary of the Permanent Mission of Kuwait to the United Nations, expressed appreciation for the mission, whose mandate is set to conclude on December 31, 2025. He highlighted UNAMI’s positive support on files concerning Kuwaiti prisoners of war and missing persons, nationals of third countries, and Kuwaiti property, including the national archives.

Al-Saeedi emphasized the importance of Iraq’s full cooperation with the UN High-Level Representative tasked exclusively with following up on these files, in accordance with Security Council Resolution 2792 (2025), to ensure progress on these sensitive humanitarian issues constructively and responsibly, free from political exploitation.

He stressed that Kuwait sees Iraq’s security and stability as essential elements of regional security and reaffirmed the country’s commitment to close cooperation with the UN and Iraq to address these humanitarian matters within a consistent UN framework. Such an approach, he said, upholds international law, strengthens good neighborly relations, and enables Iraq to fulfill its international obligations and duties.

Al-Saeedi further called for the orderly conclusion of UNAMI’s mandate, noting the importance of preserving the gains achieved during the mission’s tenure. He underlined that the transition should be carried out in close coordination with the UN Secretariat and relevant mechanisms to ensure uninterrupted follow-up of outstanding Kuwaiti humanitarian and national issues.

Kuwait reiterated its appreciation to the United Nations for UNAMI’s ongoing efforts since its establishment and expressed hope that the transition process will sustain…

Marina Mabrey Proves She’s Worth New Deal with Connecticut Sun

Marina Mabrey has bounced around the WNBA in her seven years as a pro. She’s played for four different teams and since 2020 she has been one of the league’s most consistent performers.

The former second-round pick out of Notre Dame landed with the Connecticut Sun in the middle of the 2024 season via a trade. After helping the Sun reach the playoffs, the 2025 season saw the team go south, winning just 11 games and finishing with the second-worst record in the league. You would not have known that watching the 5-foot-11 guard play.

Mabrey averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and a team-high 4.0 assists per game, while also leading the team in minutes played (31.5) and three-pointers made (1.9). It was the right tone to set going into an offseason with uncertainty — and without a contract. Mabrey is a free agency and will have plenty of suitors. The Sun should be one of them and recently Sun PR on X (formerly Twitter) touted her season accompishments.

Mabrey missed nine games due to a left knee injury, but she led the Sun in multiple statistical categories and reached several career milestones during the franchise’s lost season.

Chief among those milestones were her 800th rebound on Sept. 3 against Chicago, her 700th assist and 1,000th career field goal on Aug. 23 against Chicago, and her 200th career steal on Sept. 6 against Phoenix.

In less than two seasons, Mabrey ranked 14th all-time in three-pointers made (108) and 20th in assists (195) in Connecticut Sun franchise history.

Mabrey’s best game was on June 6 against…

Diligence: A movie about SandHill Council Woman’s fight to Regain Family Burial Ground

(For expedience sake- The SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians (NY, NJ, PA) will be referred to as SandHill)

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

This article is part two of the series on the movie Diligence, which has been shown at Independent Film festivals in Canada and the United States.  It is a documentary about SandHill Council member Ms. Carrie Jones’s legal battle to recover her family’s burial ground, which a corporation fraudulently purchased.

Recently, Ms. Carrie Jones was awarded the Tubman Award for her victorious quest for justice in the return of her family’s burial ground through the court system at this year’s Hip Hop Film Fest held in New Jersey.

She is not a lawyer.  However, she took on the Corporation, representing herself and her family.  

She did her own due diligence, investigating the relevant laws and cases, and entered the Courtroom well-prepared to present her rock-solid case against the Corporation.  

The Corporation had already cut down trees, removed some of the graves of her family members, and buried other people in the burial ground.  Those bodies, though not indigenous, will be left in peace and not disturbed..  

Recording her journey was Brooklyn Demme (TrueHeart), who is the son of Jonathan Demme, producer of The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia.  Brooklyn recorded the Courtroom drama where her diligence in gathering all the legal knowledge she needed was presented calmly and professionally.

I have been struggling to find the words to describe Ms. Jones, her determination, and her story to have her family’s burial ground returned to them.  She is one of the most brilliant people that I have had the honor to meet in recent years.  She is a humble person, as she does not seek glory, fame, or even her five minutes in the sun.  She…

Time capsule buried in Nanticoke as fate of one interred in 1876 remains a mystery

NANTICOKE — The history of Nanticoke has been buried again — in terms of a time capsule.

In the city, there’s a time capsule in Patriot Square that was placed underground in 1976 to mark the nation’s bicentennial. The fate of one buried in 1876 remains a mystery — after it was unearthed during park renovations in 1912 and presumably reburied without records or a marker.

On Sunday, another box of Nanticoke history was interred.

To mark its 30th anniversary, the Nanticoke Historical Society buried a time capsule outside its headquarters near the Mill Memorial Library. It will be opened in 50 years.

“We have a penny because there probably won’t be a penny then,” said Judy Minsavage, vice president of the society.

The U.S. Mint will stop making pennies next year and they will be gradually taken out of circulation so those who open the capsule in 2075 might have never seen one, officials with the historical society said.

Books about the history of Nanticoke were placed in the time capsule, along with photos, 2025 utility bills, photos of modern day gas prices and many more contemporary things. There are nostalgic items about city icons like former Gov. John S. Fine and one-armed Major League Baseball player Pete Gray.

“Who knows what Nanticoke will be like in 50 years so we wanted to show them what it’s like now,” said society member Tania Gronkowski.

Hunter becomes the hunted – Waupaca County Post

By John Faucher

WAUPACA/PORTAGE COUNTY LINE — When Tim Tautges headed to his deer stand on a crisp autumn day near the Waupaca–Portage County line, he expected to see a trophy buck.
The land was a hunter’s dream — a mix of hardwoods and clearings, carefully managed for wildlife.
Tautges was a guest on what he called “the promised land” of deer hunting.
When the woods suddenly fell silent, the moment turned from peaceful to primal. What he saw next was the opposite of any hunter’s dream.

The woods turn quiet

To be clear, Tautges isn’t easily shaken. At six-foot-five, the seasoned outdoorsman is used to the woods’ sounds — and its silence.
As the sun dipped below the tree line, the chickadees, juncos, squirrels and a flock of turkeys beneath his stand suddenly fled.
“It was eerie, even the sound of the wind through the pine needles stopped. I knew something was coming,” said Tautges.
He figured it was a black bear or a wolf — both had been seen on the property before.
“I stood up in the stand and started looking around because I thought, well, this is kind of odd. I looked over my left shoulder and there was absolutely nothing there.
“I turned and started slowly coming back toward my right and out of my peripherals, that’s when I saw it up on the ridge, to the right of me, peering out from behind a tree,” said Tautges.
“I didn’t want to look further, but its gaze drew me to look at it, and we locked eyes. It was as if my soul got sucked out of me,” said Tautges.
It paralyzed him.
“I couldn’t yell, I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t look away.”

A creature beyond belief

Tautges described it as enormous — a…
