Ocean City crew teams rack up victories at Virginia regatta

Press staff reports

The Ocean City High School boys and girls crew teams put together a string of victories at the Walter Mess Regatta in Fairfax County, Virginia, on Saturday.

The Red Raiders won all three “eights” races they entered.

The Ocean City girls first and second eights won their finals against rugged competition: Jackson- Reed High School (Washington D.C.), which won bronze and silver medals, respectively, at the 2023 Stotesbury Cup Regatta.

But in second eights, the Ocean City boat finished in 5:25.0, beating Jackson-Reed by 5 seconds.

In first eights, the Red Raiders went back-and-forth with Jackson-Reed for the first half of the race before surging ahead to win in 5:10.9 with a nearly 4-second margin over the runner-up.

Nob Hill Flash, Hastag Money Game of Claims Champions – U.S. Trotting News

Nob Hill Flash, Hastag Money Game of Claims Champions

March 25, 2024, from PHHA for Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania

Wilkes-Barre, PA – The Nob Hill High gelding Nob Hill Flash completed a sweep of his Game of Claims series action for $15,000 base-tagged pacers Monday (March 25) at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, tacking on a 1:52 victory in his $20,000 Championship event after winning in each of his preliminaries.

Nob Hill Flash completed a sweep of his Game of Claims series action for $15,000 base-tagged pacers Monday (March 25) at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, tacking on a 1:52 victory in his $20,000 Championship event after winning in each of his preliminaries. Curtis Salonick photo.

Nob Hill Flash, the 50-cent favorite, moved from third from driver Anthony Napolitano nearing the :27.2 quarter, but Play Jet Ray pulled the pocket in front of him and went around early leader Aerosmith Hanover, with Nob Hill Flash refilling his own hole. Just past the :55.4 half, the “Flash” flashed out uncovered and battled with Play Ray Jet the rest of the way, past a 1:23.3 three-quarters and through the lane until finally gaining the advantage as he won by a neck.

Owner Karen Taylor and trainer Pierre Paradis, who took over the horse after his first prelim win, won the second with him but then lost him to another claim, wound up winning the crucial game of musical claiming chairs last week when reacquiring him, and saw the game pacer garner the lion’s share of the Championship purse. Despite being claimed every prelim week, Anthony Napolitano, top driver on the day with a quartet of triumphs, guided Nob Hill Flash in all four of his GOC wins.

The $7,500 base-priced pacers…

We Are Still Here: A Celebration of Lenape Resilience & Culture

Members of the Lunaapeew/Lenape community and the Museum of the City of New York invite you to join us for an inaugural weekend of activities celebrating the resilience and cultural heritage of the Munsee people. 

Visitors of all ages can enjoy two days of events with musical and dance performances, craft workshops, a marketplace, and discussions led by Indigenous speakers and artists. Join us and learn about the past, present, and future of the First Nations and First People of the New York City region.

Events on May 4th and May 5th from 11am-4pm daily, including:

Registration will be recommended but not required. Registration will open April 1, 2024. 

 

400 Years of Resilience 

This two-day event is the public launch of a multi-year partnership between the Eenda-Lunaapeewahkiing (Land of the Lunaapeew) Project and the Museum of the City of New York, with the support of the American Indian Community House and the Dutch Consulate of the Netherlands, in collaboration with the Amsterdam Museum. 

Coinciding with the 400th year since Dutch settlers’ arrival in what is now New York City in 1624, this international effort speaks to the resilience and creativity of Indigenous people today, and to the importance of recognizing their central role in shaping our city and nation.

The original Indigenous inhabitants of today’s five boroughs are known by many names, including Lenape (from the Unami dialect), Lunaapeew (from the Munsee dialect), Lenni-Lenape, Delaware, and Munsee-Delaware, among others. Many of these communities have been displaced across North America – known as Turtle Island – with several communities nearby in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States and in Ontario or Southeastern Canada. The Eenda-Lunaapeewahkiing (EL) Project aims to establish a partnership between these communities, with a vision to unite and hear the voices of the Lunaapeew across Turtle Island.

Groups Begin Investing $2 Million in Chicken Farming BMP’s

cost share program

Improve riparian buffers, precision nutrient management, conservation drainage and litter management

PUBLISHED ON March 25, 2024

Delmarva Chicken Association, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, and the Nanticoke Watershed Alliance are partnering with chicken farmers to invest $2 million in cost-share programs to accelerate the adoption of chicken farming best management practices in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay watersheds and improve riparian buffers, precision nutrient management, conservation drainage and litter management.

GEORGETOWN, Del. — Delmarva Chicken Association, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, and the Nanticoke Watershed Alliance are partnering with chicken farmers to invest $2 million in cost-share programs to accelerate the adoption of chicken farming best management practices in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay watersheds and improve riparian buffers, precision nutrient management, conservation drainage and litter management.

The three-year effort, which began accepting chicken farmers’ applications for cost-share support this spring, is backed by a $997,327 grant from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation through NFWF’s Chesapeake Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Grants Program, a partnership between NFWF and the Environmental Protection Agency. Delmarva Chicken Association, the state of Maryland, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and the Nanticoke Watershed Alliance are contributing a combined $1 million in matching funds to the initiative, and DCA is working with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and the Nanticoke Watershed Alliance to implement the conservation measures, farm by farm. The goal for each partner in the initiative is to improve the sustainability of the chicken community while continuing to improve water quality in the Chesapeake Bay.

“Since the 1980s, farmers have increased food production to meet growing demand while meaningfully reducing agriculture’s yearly nitrogen and phosphorus contributions to the Bay, contributing to its improved health today,” said Holly Porter, DCA’s executive director. “Innovative, collaborative efforts…

Avenged Sevenfold / A Big Welcome Back To Mohegan Sun Arena

Throughout the past several weeks, Avenged Sevenfold have been kicking it on the road for the third leg of their tour supporting their latest album, Life Is But A Dream. Joining the group on this part of the tour is dubstep Metal artist Sullivan King and dark pop singer Poppy – a unique pairing to say the least. Last Thursday, the three bands took to the stage at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.

Avenged Sevenfold

Multi-platinum Heavy Metal band Avenged Sevenfold hit the stage a few minutes after 9 PM. Vocalist M. Shadows, wearing a black ski mask, takes a seat in a chair centre stage. The group begins their set with Game Over, the first track on their latest album, Life Is But A Dream.

After nearly seven years without a new release, A7X came back with a vengeance with this record. Avenged Sevenfold certainly showed it off on the stage, performing about half of the album throughout their live show.Avenged Sevenfold - Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville - 21 March 2024Avenged Sevenfold – Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville – 21 March 2024.

Talking to a few longtime fans before the show, it seems many people were not fond of the experimental route the band had taken with the record. But during the live performance of their new material, the audience seemed just as hype.

After a couple of new tunes, Avenged Sevenfold moved into a few bigger hits, Afterlife and Hail To The King. The audience…

Farmers who participate in this cost-share program can be eligible for up to 100% cost-share on conservation initiatives. The installed practices can include:

  • Trees around the perimeter of farms to provide a visual buffer from neighbors and roads, reduce noise, dust and odor, absorb soil nutrients, and…
