BUFFALO — Since 2008 the Buffalo Bandits have experienced the pains of just missing out on winning the National Lacrosse League Championship. In fact, the Bandits had lost the finals in back-to-back seasons and after a 16-10 loss on Memorial Day in Game 2 against the Colorado Mammoth, it looked like Buffalo might lose three finals in a row.

That’s how it looked when the frustrations brewed at the end of Game 2, but that’s not the mindset Buffalo came back home with for the decisive Game 3 of the National Lacrosse League Championship at KeyBank Center on Saturday.

The Bandits completely flipped the script in Game 3, reversing the lopsided loss in Game 2, into a dominant 13-4 victory to secure the team’s fifth championship and first since 2008.

“I’m super proud of our group, it’s been a long time coming,” Buffalo’s Josh Byrne said after winning the NLL Championship. “The last two years we lose…

Viral dance video of Indian cricket players: Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni only appears in the IPL after his retirement. Mahi CSK recently won a huge victory in the Indian Premier League. Since then, he has remained in the debate. Meanwhile, a video of a cricketer is circulating the Internet. In the clip, which has gone viral, Mahi can be seen doing an amazing dance. In this video, many people are shown along with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, including the all-round star of the Indian national team Hardik Pandya.

In fact, Indian cricketers not only rock the cricket pitch, but when they get together they add glamour to the event. On the other hand, if we talk about M.S. Dhoni, since he stopped playing cricket, his fans will see his new style. Cricketers were sometimes seen riding a bicycle and sometimes a tractor. Meanwhile, he was now seen dancing furiously.

Dhoni dances to the song “Dilli Wali Girlfriend”.

This video of Mahi that rocked the internet was posted on a YouTube channel called @totallycricket5872. In which she can be seen dancing to Ranbir Kapoor’s “Dilli Wali Girlfriend”. This dance video of star cricketers features a birthday party. In which, in addition to Mahendra Singh Dhoni, many others can be seen dancing, including Hardik Pandyu, Krunal Pandyu and Ishaan Kishan. In this video, you can clearly see how the players who have reached the party get great pleasure. Although this video is old, it is getting very viral on social media these days.

First round of yellow poplar/magnolia/sassafras weevils

We held our OSU Buckeye Environmental Horticulture Team strategic planning meeting this week at Mohican Lodge and Conference Center. A hike in Mohican State Forest revealed that Yellow Poplar Weevils (Odontopus calceatus, family Curculionidae) are producing noticeable damage on their namesake host in that part of the state.

Although yellow poplar weevil is the common name approved by the Entomological Society of America, the weevil is sometimes called the sassafras weevil, magnolia weevil, magnolia leafminer and tuliptree leafminer.

It’s difficult to explain the weevil’s odd host range using the classic taxonomy of its hosts.

Tuliptrees and magnolias belong to the family Magnoliaceae in the order Magnoliales, while sassafras belongs to the family Lauraceae in the order Laurales.

However, all three are now grouped in the clade Magnoliids based on phylogenetic patterns. Still, the three hosts seem like strange bedfellows.

The small (2/16 inch long), oval-shaped yellow poplar weevils range in color from black to brownish-black to reddish-brown and have deeply grooved wing covers (elytra). Although they are good flyers, the weevils often elect to fold their legs to “play dead” when disturbed; a defense strategy that is common among weevils. In some people’s eyes, yellow poplar weevils resemble ticks, which may generate calls to extension offices concerning “flying ticks” during outbreak years. Ticks can’t fly.

Weevils are beetles with their chewing mouthparts located at the end of their snouts (rostrum). Yellow poplar weevils damage leaves in two ways.

Overwintered adults may chew holes in leaves that are unfurling from buds. The small holes become large, ragged holes as the leaves expand.

As the leaves expand further, the adults consume the lower epidermis and leaf mesophyll leaving behind the upper epidermis. Eventually, the thin epidermis dries out, turns brown,…

Get Ready for Four Supermoons in a Row Starting in July

Tonight marks the appearance of June’s full moon, also known as the “Strawberry Moon,” named after the season in which Native American Algonquian tribes in the northeastern US, the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples gather “June-bearing” strawberries.

Despite its name, however, June’s full moon does not get its title from its color. Other cultures refer to June’s full moon by a variety of names indicative of the time of year; for instance, the Anishibaabe people refer to the June moon as the “Blooming Moon,” the Cherokee as the “Green Corn Moon,” and the Western Abenaki as the “Hoer Moon,” a reference to tending young crops. Other moon names include the Birth Moon, Egg Laying Moon, Honey Moon, Mead Moon, and Hatching Moon.

While tonight’s full moon is a sight to see, anticipation is growing for what will come next month: the first in a string of four consecutive supermoons that will light up the night sky. Supermoons are full moons that appear larger and brighter than average full moons because they are closer to Earth.

The four supermoons will be visible on July 3, Aug. 1, Aug. 30, and Sept. 29. According to NASA, a supermoon occurs when the Moon’s orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time the Moon is full. There are usually three to four supermoons each year.

If you’re interested in celebrating this astronomical event, there are several apps that can help you find out when and where the moon will appear in all its glory.

Obituaries in Vineland, NJ | The Daily Journal

Gail “Tòkèkkëmpàhko (Gentle Leaves)” Gould, born to the late Frank Fisher & Jeannette Carpenter-Fisher-Pierce in Bridgeton NJ on January 22, 1960. She began her journey to the creator on May 31, 2023, surrounded by the love of her family in her home in Quinton Township, NJ.

Gail had many titles; among the most important of those are ‘Mom’, ’Grammy’, and wife.

Gail attended Bridgeton Highschool, graduating in 1978. At the conclusion of her time in high school, she worked for many different institutions and establishments. This includes Atlantic City casinos, Inscon Cable, Leones Industries, Wheaton Industries, Farm Rite, Owen’s Supply, etc. However, she took most pride in her involvement in the various jobs and committees within the jurisdiction of her people; The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation of New Jersey. She was heavily involved in many aspects of supporting her tribal family, both as an employee and a volunteer for majority of her life. This included coordinating the annual Pow-Wow, assisting with elders and elder luncheons, high involvement with Cultural Retention and various youth camps, and so much more. Additionally, Gail spearheaded and laid the ground work for the museum and performing arts center that will come to be known as Achimwit of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape. But, most importantly to her, she played a crucial role in supporting tribal youth, both through action AND example.

Even in her 50s, Gail continued to inspire by pursuing additional degrees in business, successfully obtaining her Associate’s Degree from Rowan, previously known as Cumberland County College, and continued on to obtain her Bachelor’s Degree from Wilmington University. She proved that you are never too old to chase a dream.

Gail is survived by her husband: Chief Mark “Quiet Hawk” Gould, her siblings: Cheri Pierce, Deborah Pierce, Michael Pierce, and Christopher Fisher, her daughter: Lia “Watching…

Oshkosh: Magnet fishing hobby is an eco-friendly, modern day treasure hunt

Trolling waterways for discarded or lost valuables with magnets means a new hobby for local resident.

Doug Raflik, Fond du Lac Reporter

LOUDONVILLE — The Mohican Adventure Hunt is slated to kick off June 10 at the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum.

The hybrid scavenger hunt sends teams racing across the Mohican area to discover landmarks, find rare items, and complete unusual — and often hilarious — tasks.

“It’s a bit like a mixture of a traditional scavenger hunt and ‘The Amazing Race,’ ” said the museum’s curator, Kenny Libben. Each landmark, find or task is assigned a point value and teams must submit photographs or videos to prove they completed it. The first team to complete all tasks, or the team with the most points at the deadline, wins.

The hunt was first held in 2021 and grew in popularity in 2022 with participants competing for cash prizes and bragging rights. The Henleys took home the top prize in 2022, followed by Team Atterholt, who had won in 2021 and hold the record for most points after completing 49 of…
