Video: Chemical spill in Bristol causes alarm throughout Philadelphia region

A chemical spill Friday night sent some 8,100 gallons of water and polymer solution into the Otter Creek, which feeds into the Delaware River

Bucks County Courier Times

My recent column (“Beavers, the historic dam builders, make a comeback” published March 17, 2023) drew the interest of Clarence King. The Northampton resident is a knowledgeable expert on the origins and ecology of Silver Lake Park in Bristol Township.

“Excellent article on beavers. You have returned back into my little world again,” Clarence began. “Bristol has a Beaver Street which extends into Bristol Township as Beaver Dam Road. I have no idea when that road received its name, but the road has been there since 1696. You have to assume the beaver dam in the road’s name is for a beaver dam north of Silver Lake or somewhere on nearby Mill Creek.

“My family, the King family, have been living along Silver Lake for four generations since 1850.  Research I have done suggests that beaver along the Delaware River were mostly gone by the time William Penn arrived in 1682. They had all been trapped and the furs sent to Europe. From information fed down through my…

Neighborhood group in Detroit to turn vacant lot into park

(CBS DETROIT) – A neighborhood group in Detroit has a new project underway.

The Mohican-Regent Resident’s Association recently bought a vacant lot, hoping to turn it into a spot for people to come together.

On the corner of East State Fair Avenue and Anvil Street in Detroit, sits an empty lot people in the area say has been an eyesore for decades.

Soon, George Preston says that’s going to change.

“Our plan is to have a sitting park, a place where people can come and sit and relax,” said Preston, president of the Mohican-Regent Resident’s Association.

Preston says the vacant land has been a sight of blight for far too long.

“For years, it looked like a forest and people were beginning to dump here. It was just an ugly site,” Preston said.

With the help of the city, grants and donations, the association was able to buy the 8 lots that make up this property.

“Our goal is to put a path over here and we’re going to fence it all in, then we’ll put benches and tables over here,” said Preston.

A mural is also on the list of things to create. Preston says the group has already started cleaning up the site.

All they need to get the job done is more volunteers. Donations always help too.

“We’re always looking for donations,” said Preston.

Shattered Dreams: Couple Nabbed for Duping Job Seekers Of US$135k With Promises of UK Jobs

Shattered Dreams: Couple Nabbed for Duping Job Seekers Of US$135k With Promises of Overseas Jobs

In a shocking case of fraudulent job placements, a couple has been apprehended by the Zimbabwe Republic Police for allegedly duping job seekers of a staggering amount totaling USD 134,552.

Sitshengisiwe Ndlovu, 46, and Alison Unami, 30, stand accused of orchestrating an elaborate scheme, posing as agents of an undisclosed company offering lucrative job opportunities abroad.

The alleged scam unfolded between August 2022 and May 2023, during which the suspects targeted hopeful individuals seeking employment in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.

Promising swift processing within three weeks upon payment of a fee amounting to USD 4,000, the couple engaged victims through WhatsApp, conducting interviews and creating an air of authenticity. However, as the waiting period expired, the suspects would provide excuses, leaving their victims in a state of uncertainty and financial loss.

The intricate web of deceit began to unravel on May 3rd, 2023 when a vigilant complainant alerted the authorities. Acting swiftly, the police in Bulawayo arrested Alison Unami while she was loading belongings into a vehicle, presumably preparing to vacate their known office premises. Shortly after, Sitshengisiwe Ndlovu was apprehended at the Bulawayo Police Station, where she had gone to visit her husband.

The Police have urged citizens to remain cautious and…

Pennsylvania Issues $150K In Gambling Fines

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approved three consent agreements presented by the state’s Office of Enforcement Counsel during its recent public meeting regarding violations that occurred at three casinos. Total fines levied were nearly $150,000.

Mount Airy #1, LLC, the operator of Mount Airy Casino Resort, was fined $120,000 for failure to timely submit internal audit plans. Downs Racing, L.P., operator of Mohegan Pennsylvania casino, received a fine of $20,000 for two incidents in which supervisory employees worked without the proper Board-issued permit. Sugarhouse HSP Gaming, L.P., operator of Rivers Casino Philadelphia, was hit with a $7,500 fine for not properly notifying its security and surveillance staff along with law enforcement about an alleged cheating incident at a table game involving marked cards.

The Board also acted on petitions to ban three adults from all casinos in the state for leaving a total of six children unattended to engage in gaming activities:

A male patron was placed on the Involuntary Exclusion List after leaving three children, ages 3, 8, and 10, unattended in a vehicle in the Mohegan Pennsylvania casino parking lot while he wagered at the sportsbook.

A female patron was placed on the Involuntary Exclusion List after leaving two children, ages 2 and 5, unattended in the food court at Valley Forge Casino Resort to wager at the sportsbook, and later once again left the children unattended in a vehicle in the casino’s parking lot but was approached by security before she was able to gamble.

Another female gambler was placed on the Involuntary Exclusion List after leaving her 13-year-old child unattended in a vehicle at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course while she cashed a check and gambled on slot machines.

Leaving minors unattended at a Pennsylvania casino can result in criminal prosecution…

The trail loops to connect with other systems and spans 49 miles according to Five Rivers MetroParks. Hikers of all levels can participate in short two-mile hikes or longer, more advanced hikes.

The park is open all year and is suitable for backpackers. It also features small campsites hikers can reserve to stay the night on the trail. 

Statewide

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Those looking for a moderate winter hiking adventure can check out the trails in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. 

This park, located in Peninsula Ohio, offers trails for all levels of hikers. Those looking for an easier path can go on trails like Ledges Trail and Pine Grove Trail. Those looking for a slightly more difficult adventure can check out the Wetmore Bridle trail, all located in the Park.

The park is open 24/7 all year round, excluding national holidays, and holds no entrance fee.

Those interested in learning more about the park can do so here.

Dagon Hanover was quickest away from the gate, with Marcus Miller (top driver on the day with three successes) keeping the victorious daughter of Kadabra close early, then moving to the lead just past the :28.1.
