Look Back: Happy 98th birthday to the City of Nanticoke

Dec. 31—At 10 a.m. on Jan. 4, 1926, the Borough of Nanticoke became the City of Nanticoke.

“Nanticoke with its population of approximately 28,000 inhabitants contained within three and three-quarters square miles, since 1874, a borough, will become a city with the reorganization in the city building of its elected city officials,” the Wilkes-Barre Record reported Jan. 4, 1926.

Nanticoke is derived from Nentego, a Native American tribe that settled along the banks of the Susquehanna River possibly in 1748 where shad was prevalent along with an abundant amount of game in the forests to hunt.

Originally part of Hanover Township, the land was given to Capt. Lazarus Stewart, William Stewart and others for their effort to protect the area for the Susquehanna Company, settlers from Connecticut that spawned the Pennamite-Yankee Wars of 1769-1770 and 1774.

William Stewart divided the land into plots he sold and he also ran a ferry across the river that resulted in the eventual founding of Plymouth.

“The first 136 logs laid out by William Stewart sold for $10 each, and these were located along what is now Spring, Walnut, Pine, Broad, Market, Chestnut and Walter streets,” the Record reported Jan. 4, 1926.

Original settlers of Nanticoke derived their living through cultivating the soil and hunting. Most of the houses were one-story log huts. There was no fuel other than wood. Each householder was constructor of his own furniture. Oxen were used for farming and hauling, the story reported.

“Hunting was especially good in vicinity of Nanticoke as there were ample deer, bear, turkeys, wild pigeons, pheasants, geese, squirrels and beaver. Wolves also were plentiful and the early settlers were obliged to nightly house their stock for protection. The falls in the Susquehanna River below Nanticoke furnished good fishing,” the Record reported.

Records show that in 1796, there were 86 taxable persons in…

“Incompetence and Disrespect”: Isiah Thomas’ Disastrous Start to 2024 Provokes Fiery Outcry Against $25.89 Billion Company

The new year is here, folks. While the typical greeting wishes for a happy, wholesome start flooded the internet, for Isiah Thomas, the beginning was in no way pleasant. Due to some shoddy work at the airport, Thomas had to miss out on a special NBA TV appearance. As a result, the Detroit Pistons legend was understandably upset. “I experienced a level of incompetence and disrespect @Delta #HPN airport today on my way to work”, he complained on his social media handle.

America’s Favorite Video Today

“To all my fans who were looking forward to seeing me on @NBATV tonight you can blame @Delta for not letting me on the flight which I had a paid ticket and seat assignment. Happy 2024″. The 2x NBA Champion was not happy with the treatment. Frankly, it’s hard to blame him. Even though the entire story isn’t out, a paid ticket and seat assignment should typically not cause any issues. But, alas, that isn’t the case here. For fans tuning in to NBA TV for a glimpse at Zeke, it will be a disappointing night. For their part, the $25.89 billion worth airline, was quick in their response, asking for many details to rectify the situation.

But, the message reeking of auto-generation might be the worst route to assuage Isiah Thomas’ anger. “Hello Isiah, thanks for reaching out today and we regret to hear about this…

Lucian Christmas with Corinthian Mohicans

Earl BousquetChronicles Of A Chronic Caribbean Chronicler By Earl Bousquet

I awoke on Christmas Morning quite happy, with several invitational options for where to go to eat, drink and party, or just stay home.

But, if your imagination is sufficiently elastic, you’ll understand I actually did a-little-bit-of-all: ate more, drank less – and didn’t drive at-all…

Best-of-all that day, however, was spending a couple of afternoon hours over a traditional creole lunch with old friends from the last century, fellow centennial hopefuls I often describe as ‘Saint Lucia’s Last Mohicans’.

I never read ‘Last of the Mohicans’, the classic novel by James Fenimore Cooper set in 1747 during the French-Indian war, but I do know the moral behind that story is the importance of respecting different cultures.

Sponsored | Article continues below

I’ve always respected other cultures, but one of my big fears is unfolding before our very eyes: important aspects of our history and culture are simply disappearing quickly, or being made invisible.

I’ve always held that after the diminishing generation of us between 60 and 80, it’ll be left only to the millennials and the advanced artificial intelligentsia of the 2030s and 2040s to fight for Humankind’s survival by the 1950s, against more-intelligent talking machines – the 21st Century stone-age equivalents of which are already hosting press conferences today.

I sat with a few fellow ‘Lucian Mohicans’ on Christmas Day afternoon in Daphne’s Corinthian Balcony, sipping Sangria between other island-mixers, us driving recklessly down Memory Lane in ways that convinced the two younger souls among us that there actually was Life before Internet and Wi-Fi.

The likes of Leo ‘Spa’ St. Helene, Derek Walcott, Dunstan St. Omer, George Odlum, Neville Skeete, et al, would no-doubt have felt quite at-home that…
