NANTICOKE — A nine-point lead with 47 seconds left nearly evaporated completely — but Holy Redeemer did just enough, and used up just enough clock, to hang on for the win.
Nanticoke Area’s frantic fourth-quarter comeback fell just a point short, as Redeemer survived some late-game miscues and issues at the free-throw line to beat the Trojans 44-43, improving to 4-1 in Division 2 in the process.
“It got a little hairy, a little helter-skelter on us at the end there, but it’s a road conference victory,” said Redeemer coach Paul Guido. “This is a brutal place to play, we’ve had brutal games with these guys … tonight was just another chapter in that book.”
The Royals broke out of the gates quick, outscoring Nanticoke Area 18-8 after one quarter and holding a lead right around that margin for most of the game, never pulling away but doing a great job defensively to limit Nanticoke Area’s scorers and keep them from making a run.
And then, with under a minute remaining and Holy Redeemer leading 42-33, things began to get a little dicey.
Woes at the free throw line didn’t help — the Royals had multiple fourth-quarter trips to the line that either resulted in a 1-for-2 result or an empty trip. As a team, Redeemer shot 6-for-14 from the stripe in the fourth quarter, leaving the door open for the Trojans.
“I was disappointed with our free throw shooting down the stretch,” Guido said. “It was guys that we want the ball in their hands, we think that they could make them.”
Three-pointers from PJ Remley and Liam Mullery trimmed Redeemer’s lead down to five points, 44-39 with 20 seconds…

Tony Orlando announces farewell tour
Orlando has sold millions of records, including five No. 1 hit records
On January 19th, 20th, and 21st, one of America’s most beloved entertainers, legendary icon Tony Orlando, will play his final sold-out show in Las Vegas this week after 51 years as a Las Vegas headliner and now at the renowned South Point Casino.
In 1973, Tony Orlando began topping the bill in Las Vegas at the famed Riviera Hotel showroom and soon after began headlining the esteemed and historic Las Vegas Hilton. During his early explosive period performing in the entertainment capital, he headlined most of the city’s legendary venues such as Caesar’s Palace, The Mirage, and The Desert Inn — and continued an amazing twenty-five years of residencies in all of Michael Gaughan’s venues, including his hugely successful South Point Casino showroom.
On March 22nd, Orlando will bring an end to his long and illustrious 62-year live concert performing career at Mohegan Sun’s 10,000-seat arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Amazingly, this will mark his 65th appearance over 23 years at the venue.
“We are honored that after such a historic entertainment and humanitarian career, Tony Orlando has chosen Mohegan Sun to host his final live performance,” states Tom Cantone, President of Sports & Entertainment for Mohegan. “It’s now time for us to give him a standing ovation for entertaining over 100,000 fans at Mohegan Sun over the years, something that only Billy Joel has done, as he will be forever part of Mohegan’s entertainment family.”
“I am so honored that my last concert will be at my favorite venue on Earth, Mohegan Sun Arena,” adds Orlando. “My relationship with Tom Cantone, the stage crews, and the staff at Mohegan Sun Arena has been flawless. I also want to thank all my friends within the Mohegan Tribe for…
William Penn may have founded the state of Pennsylvania but the iconic historic figure could soon find himself canceled by the leftist cultural revolution that has wormed its way into the highest corridors of government.
In a move that would be expected from totalitarian religious zealots like ISIS or the Taliban, President Joe Biden’s National Park Service plans to remove Penn’s statue from Philadelphia’s Welcome Park, a site that has become very unwelcoming to white “colonizers” like Penn under radical Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.
The agency will be seeking input on the “rehabilitation” of Welcome Park, another of the authoritarian left’s Orwellian terms that mask its extremism, in this case, the ongoing cultural cleansing of the nation’s identity.

“The proposed rehabilitation of Welcome Park includes an expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia and was developed in consultation with representatives of the indigenous nations of the Haudenosaunee, the Delaware Nation, Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Shawnee Tribe, and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.,” the NPS announced in a Friday statement.
“The reimagined Welcome Park maintains certain aspects of the original design such as the street grid, the rivers and the east wall while adding a new planted buffer on three sides, and a ceremonial gathering space with circular benches. The Penn statue and Slate Roof house model will be removed and not reinstalled. In a separate and future effort, new exhibit panels will be installed on the south side wall to replace the Penn timeline,” the federal agency added.

Even though she grew up on her tribe’s reservation, Cox has also experienced disconnection from her culture. “Sadly, I don’t really know a lot about my own culture or language,” she says. “I did attend an Indigenous school, but I was the only deaf person there at the time and I had bad interpreters. When we had Menominee culture and language class, I was always pulled out to go to speech therapy — so I didn’t get the privilege of learning about my own culture and history. I’m trying to learn more now.”
It’s still surreal to Cox that she has made it in Hollywood, although it’s starting to feel more real thanks to things like the recent star-studded Echo premiere in Los Angeles. “I was so nervous because I hadn’t had any acting experience before, then there I was having my own Hollywood premiere,” she says. “But then I saw all the cast and crew who I hadn’t seen for such a long time. When we hugged, my nerves just went away.”

Her infant son started fussing so she didn’t get to stay for the official Echo screening, but that’s fine by Cox, who has a hard time watching herself act (or even getting attention on social media, for that matter). Three months in, motherhood has been a life-changing new adventure for her, and she plans to pass down her Menominee cultural traditions to her son.
“I wish I was able to speak my own Menominee language, of course, but his grandma can teach him that,” she says. “I definitely would love to take him to powwows, have regalia for him, and have him involved in different Native events so he can soak it all…
HARRISBURG, Pa. – The National Park Service’s proposal to remove a William Penn statue from a historic site in Philadelphia –- quickly withdrawn amid a backlash — wasn’t a priority for some of the Native Americans the agency was required to consult with as it prepared to renovate the deteriorating plaza.
Uprooting the statue of Pennsylvania’s founder from Welcome Park also wasn’t a major point of discussion as park service officials and tribal representatives met to plan the renovation over video last year, said Jeremy Johnson, director of cultural education for the Delaware Tribe of Indians.
Rather, what tribal representatives had envisioned for the plaza is an exhibit that would highlight the culture, history, traditions and perceptions of the Native Americans who had lived there for thousands of years before Penn arrived, Johnson said.
“We do still speak highly of William Penn,” Johnson said. But tribal representatives, he said, “were really just focusing on our culture and our history and that, in a way, he was an important part of it, but … it was a small interaction compared to our overall history.”
A park service spokesperson hasn’t responded to repeated questions about the abandoned proposal.
Announced quietly on Friday, the plan quickly and — perhaps unexpectedly — laid bare the sensitivities around the image of the colonial founder of Pennsylvania and threatened to become the latest front in a fight over how to tell the nation’s history through its monuments.
A top state Republican lawmaker, Bryan Cutler, said removing Penn’s statue to “create a more inclusive environment takes (an) absurd and revisionist view of our state’s history.” Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro pressed the Biden administration to keep the statute in its “rightful home.”
The park service said it consulted with representatives of the Haudenosaunee, the Delaware Nation, Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Shawnee Tribe, and the Eastern…

On Saturday, February 3rd, Greg “The Villain” Vendetti challenges Chordale “The Gift” Booker for his WBC USA Super Welterweight title at Mohegan Sun Arena.
It’s the perfect opportunity for the Stoneham, Massachusetts native to win a title, break into the WBC rankings and secure a more lucrative payday.
“My whole career, I’ve taken it one day at a time,” says Vendetti, reluctant to look too far past his opponent. “I focus on what’s in front of me and it’s worked out well so far.
“But if I were to beat Booker and blast him out of there, I’m sure we’ll get a call for a big money fight.”
Despite Chordale Booker being on a four-fight winning streak, Vendetti likes his chances of upsetting the apple cart. In Booker, ‘The Villain’ sees a fair-weather fighter who does not deal well with adversity.
“From what I’ve seen of him, he seems to have a small gas tank and a brittle spirit,” says Vendetti. “When a fight’s going well, he looks good and feels good. When the fight’s going bad, he starts to fall apart.”
The National Guardsman believes that pressure is the key to victory against Booker, which is ideal for him as a volume puncher.
“I’m a pressure guy,” says Vendetti of his style. “I have a big gas tank and big punch output. I just have to be the best version of myself to get the win. In the mid-to-late rounds, Booker starts to wilt against guys who put on half as much pressure as I’m gonna put on him.”
If Vendetti sounds confident, it’s because he’s been on the big stage before. ‘The Villain’ has wins over the likes of Japanese contender Yoshihiro Kamegai in 2018 and a competitive loss to two-division world champion Erislandy Lara in 2020. Each…

The continued erasure of America’s historic statues continues under President Joe Biden. Late last year, a statue dedicated to reconciliation between the northern and southern states was removed from Arlington National Cemetery after a brief hold was placed on the removal by a judge.
Now, it’s the founder of Pennsylvania, William Penn, who is being cancelled.
The Penn statue that sits atop his historic home site will be removed from the property, according to the U.S. Park Service. In its place, more memorials to American Indians will be installed.
Penn was a Quaker who came to America to avoid religious persecution in England. By most accounts, he was a stellar advocate for democracy, justice, and fairness to indigenous people.
“The National Park Service proposes to rehabilitate Welcome Park to provide a more welcoming, accurate, and inclusive experience for visitors. Welcome Park was designed by the internationally acclaimed design firm Venturi & Scott Brown Associates. The park is located on the site of William Penn’s home, the Slate Roof House, and is named for the ship, Welcome, which transported Penn to Philadelphia. The design and construction of Welcome Park was funded by the Independence Historical Trust and was completed in 1982,” the Park Service said.
The proposed “rehabilitation” of Welcome Park includes “expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia and was developed in consultation with representatives of the indigenous nations of the Haudenosaunee, the Delaware Nation, Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Shawnee Tribe, and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma,” according to the agency.
