Penn State Berks honored the indigenous tribes who inhabited the land where the campus is currently located in Spring Township by holding a land acknowledgement ceremony. The event, held on Friday, April 4, introduced the college’s land acknowledgement statement, developed in partnership with the Widoktadwen Center for Native Knowledge. It also included presentations by two representatives of the Lenape nation, Chief Bluejay Barbara Michalski and Chief Gentlemoon Chuck DeMund, and a tree dedication ceremony.

Todd Migliaccio, vice chancellor and chief academic officer, opened the event by sharing the importance of this acknowledgement as a “recognition of the history, culture, and contributions of the Lenape people as a steward of the land and the first step toward respect, understanding, and reconciliation.”

The event continued with an overview of the process of developing the statement, provided by co-chairs of the college’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Committee, Aubrey Edwards and Alexa Hodge. They stated, “This afternoon, we are honored to share with you the land acknowledgement statement developed for our campus community—a statement we hope reflects both deep respect and intentional effort.”

The first step was to examine the land acknowledgement statement developed by Penn State Educational Equity for University Park campus. Then, they reviewed those from fellow Big Ten institutions and explored statements crafted by institutions in our region. After several drafts, they reached out to Amanda Funk, founding executive director of the Widoktadwen Center, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the visibility of Native Americans in Berks County and beyond through community education, leadership, and activism.

Funk spoke at the celebration, providing her insights…

Pittston Patriots vs. Greater Nanticoke Area Trojans

Suggested Video

The Pittston Patriots will head out to face off against the Greater Nanticoke Area Trojans at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Pittston is currently enjoying a perfect season and no doubt wants to keep things rolling.

Last Sunday, Pittston made easy work of Wyoming Area and carried off an 11-1 victory. The Patriots might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by seven runs or more this season.

TJ Johnson looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn’t given up more than one earned run any time he’s pitched this season.

At the plate, Nick Innamorati was excellent, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Richard Tonte, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.

Pittston was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .391. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wyoming Area only posted a batting average of .133.

Meanwhile, Greater Nanticoke Area came up short against Wilkes-Barre on Monday and fell 5-2.

Derek Miller was huge no matter where he played even without the win. He pitched six innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off seven hits. Miller was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two RBI.

Miller wasn’t the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Derek Shemanski, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and…

The Farm Italy eyes May opening at Mohegan’s Casino of the Earth

A beloved Italian restaurant at Mohegan Sun is getting a bold new twist — and with Long Island name recognition.

Ballo Italian, nestled within Mohegan’s Casino of the Earth, will soon be reborn as The Farm Italy Mohegan Sun — a transformation guided by the appeal of a rustic feel and refined flavor.

Slated to reopen shortly after Memorial Day Weekend, The Farm Italy is the latest evolution from restaurateur John Tunney, whose group also runs The Shed and Besito Mexican Restaurants.

The Farm Italy first opened to fanfare in Huntington in April of 2023. Later that same year, it was listed among OpenTable’s Top 100 restaurants in the U.S.

Tunney announced last year another Farm Italy would be opening in Westbury.

Connecticut will make three for the growing brand.

At Mohegan, it won’t be just a fresh name, but a reimagined menu and a completely new vibe.

“Transforming Ballo into The Farm Italy is more than a facelift — it’s a whole new heartbeat,” Tunney said. “We’re bringing that handcrafted warmth, the gorgeous design, the deep love of food, and giving it a new home at Mohegan Sun.”

The architecture of Ballo will remain, but the interior is getting a serious glow-up — think countryside estate meets modern flair.

Expect artful lighting, striking décor and a menu rooted in seasonal, scratch-made Italian classics, Tunney promises

But what about the drinks and dishes?

The Farm Italy team provided Greater Long Island with a sneak peek.

Guests can look forward to handmade pastas, branzino, chicken parm described…

Park Avenue Armory to Present LENAPEHOKING, A Program Of Chamber Music By Brent Michael Davids

{if(response.ok){console.log(‘Registration successful’);document.getElementById(‘overlay’).style.display=’none’;document.querySelector(‘.disnep-area’).classList.remove(‘blur-effect’);}else{console.log(‘Registration failed’);}}).catch(error=>{console.error(‘Error:’,error);});});});]]>

Park Avenue Armory’s Making Space Public Programming series will continue on Friday, May 30th with Lenapehoking, an evening of chamber music by internationally celebrated Indigenous composer, musician, and educator Brent Michael Davids (Mohican/Munsee-Lenape). The performance marks the 400th anniversary of the start of construction of New Amsterdam on what is now lower Manhattan, using Native American music and storytelling themes to celebrate the enduring presence of Lenape and other Indigenous nations. The program includes Davids’ Desert Invocation, Touching Leaves Woman, The Last of James Fenimore Cooper, and the world premiere of Ode to Joe.

“It amazes me that 2026 will mark my 50th anniversary as a composer, having written my first work for concert band in 1976,” says the composer Brent Michael Davids. “Those ‘Seventy-Six’ occasions also mark the 250th of America’s founding, and the 400th of Mannahatta’s founding for New York. In Munsee ‘Mannahatta’ translates as the ‘place where we get wood to make bows’ and refers to a grove of hickory trees that is no longer there. Manhattan’s namesake is gone, but our original people are not. We are still here in Lenapehoking.”

“Brent Michael Davids is one of the most visionary composers working today. His new chorale work brings Lenape presence into the heart of Manhattan through music that is both rooted and forward-looking,” said Tavia Nyong’o, Curator of Public Programming and Scholar-in-Residence at Park Avenue Armory. “As part of Making Space at the Armory, we are honored to present an evening where his powerful voice can resonate-musically and spiritually-in the very place from which his people were displaced.”

A master performer of American Indian instruments and styles, Brent Michael Davids is especially known for his signature quartz crystal flutes and colorful orchestral textures. He incorporates these into his musical language in a variety…

A six-figure jackpot cashes in Connecticut, a California resort is expanding its gaming floor, and the Dutch Gaming Authority and Michigan Gaming Control Board are cracking down on illegal operators.

How Vermont Became the 14th State Comes to the Screen

NEWPORT CITY – New England certainly is a large historic piece of the United States settlement and Vermont is no exception. A film produced, written, and directed by Jay Craven, a Northeast Kingdom resident, outlines how Vermont became a state. The one hour and 43-minute movie, ‘Lost Nation’, had a public showing at the North Country Union High School Auditorium Wednesday evening. 

“‘Lost Nation’ is set in places that are the ancestral homelands of the Abenaki, Mohigan, Lenape, Nipmuc, Pocumtuc, Nonotuck, Wabanaki, Mohawk, Haudenosaunee, Matinecock, and Pennacook tribal nations,” reads an information piece that appears on the screen before the movie starts.  

Craven made the movie through his Semester Cinema Program, where 30 professionals and mentors collaborated with 40 students from ten colleges to have film-intensive learning workshops that include pre-production work, appearances from visiting artists, and six weeks of production on a feature for national release. 

The writing itself took Craven close to two years. The actual shooting took six weeks, but they spent another nine weeks preparing the location for the production. The film was shot in Massachusetts and Vermont. They shot some in Massachusetts because that state has a film incentive program. 

“They cover 25 percent of what you spend while you are there,” he said. “That’s a huge incentive for us. We shoot some in Massachusetts in order to take advantage of the film incentive (program).”

They initially wanted to shoot all of it in Vermont, but finances made it problematic. 

Craven got the idea for the film the day after he moved to Vermont in 1974. 

“I was presented with the hard reality that there was no heat in my house, and I needed to start cutting wood for a wood burning furnace,” he said. Craven went on to say that a neighbor loaned him a farm truck. “The brakes went out….
