Experience Sound Installation ‘nkwiluntàmën’ at Pennsbury Manor

MORRISVILLE, Pa. (WPVI) — Tour the grounds of Pennsbury Manor with your phone as your compass and experience a sound installation called ‘nkwiluntmn’ by Indigenous artist Nathan Young.

“‘nkwiluntmn’ is the Unami Lenape name of this piece,” says Young.

It means I am lonesome for it.

“Such as the sound of a drum,” says Young.

The Lenape lived on the land where Pennsbury Manor is located.

“Pennsbury Manor is a reconstructed home of William Penn,” says Douglas Miller, historic site administrator for Pennsbury Manor.

“And the Pennsylvania story would be radically different if he was not welcomed by the Lenape,” says Miller.

Young lives in Oklahoma, but his tribe is native to Pennsylvania.

“This is the homelands of my ancestors – it’s Lenapehoking,” says Young, who is a member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians.

Young created what he calls a multi-sonic experience with four musicalized benches and four signs, that together create a narrative.

“I’m trying to encode Lenape thoughts and Lenape ideas into this space,” he says.

Young says he included some thoughts on what it might have felt like to be forced to leave your home.

Young says it’s been hundreds of years since the voices of the Delaware Tribe have been expressed in the area of Pennsbury Manor and “that’s the longing.”

The signs are two-sided.

Young says one side includes prose about exile, while the other side has designs meant to inspire what territories and space might have looked like.

“This is an opportunity, through art, to touch a little bit of that history,” says Miller.

Young says, “It’s important to remember that there were people here before.”

Nathan Young’s ‘nkwiluntmn’ runs through next April.

Nanticoke man sentenced for threatening child caseworker

Jun. 8—WILKES-BARRE — A Nanticoke man accused in separate incidents involving aiming a handgun at a Luzerne County Children and Youth Services caseworker and a police officer and throwing a car battery through a windshield of a vehicle occupied by a toddler was sentenced in Luzerne County Court Thursday.

Cory Ma Gonzalez Crudop, 41, was sentenced by President Judge Michael T. Vough to 11 to 22 months at the county correctional facility on four total counts of simple assault and a single count of terroristic threats. Crudop was also ordered to perform 30 hours of community service.

Crudop pled guilty to the charges April 10 when prosecutors withdrew several felony counts of aggravated assault.

Nanticoke police accused Crudop of placing the barrel of a handgun in the mouth of a woman during a domestic dispute and threw a car battery through the windshield of a vehicle occupied by an 11-month old girl in the area of 64 Hill St., Nanticoke, on July 12, 2022, according to court records.

Two days after the domestic incident, two caseworkers from Children & Youth Services being assisted by three Nanticoke police officers inspected the residence on Hill Street where Crudop hid in the basement.

A Nanticoke police officer found Crudop who stood accused of aiming a handgun at the officer before fleeing the residence through a basement door.

While running from the house, Crudop aimed a firearm at a caseworker, court records say.

“He has changed his life around and accepted responsibility,” said Crudop’s attorney, Frank T. McCabe.

Building a PLL Expansion Team

By any chance have you ever heard somebody claim that the PLL does not have enough teams to accommodate the amount of talent in the lacrosse world? If so you can be entitled to financial compensation. Only kidding, don’t reach out looking for money, instead see below the prestigious article of PLL’s ninth expansion team, Free Agents LC. A few players on this list may be picked up by the time the article releases, please do not show up outside of my house with pitchforks and torches if this is the case.

Out of curiosity, what would you name your PLL expansion team?

Attack

Tehoka Nanticoke, Randy Staats, Andrew Kew, and Mark Cockerton

For Nanticoke and Staats, they have not had their fair chance at making a push for a roster spot in the PLL. Neither have been active for a game despite having decorated college careers and being world class indoor players. Staats can do a little bit of everything and Tehoka has some of the silkiest mitts in the world, they’re both highlight reel players who bring juice to any offense. Staats would be the quarterback of this offense, 4 years ago he had a 50 point season on 17 goals and 33 assists. Kew is a head scratcher on how he is still unclaimed, the big lefty has proven he can be productive in this league totaling 13 points in 2021 with the Cannons. I remember watching him net 4 goals in one of the Cannons first games in the PLL, two years later he hasn’t cracked a roster since. Cockerton brings a veteran presence to this PLL expansion team, as he is someone who has produced in the professional game for a longtime.

Offensive Midfield

Bryan Cole, Tanner Cook, Jack Jasinski, Sergio Salcido, Christian…

Edgely bridge in Lower Bucks County may need to be replaced, says Bristol Township. First, its safety needs to be assessed.

The Edgely bridge, sometimes called the Randall Avenue bridge, is in poor shape and may need to be replaced. Bristol Township’s investigating.

JD Mullane, Bucks County Courier Times

It surprised me several years ago to learn Morrisville nearly became Washington, D.C. I got another jolt lately: Bristolians once expected their village to become Philadelphia which for a time was the U.S. capital. That bit of trivia got me to envisioning the impact on Bucks County had those dreams come true.

Bristol as Philadelphia and D.C.

In 1672, Quaker founder George Fox and companions forged their way on horseback on wilderness paths from Long Island through New Jersey to reach Maryland. At Burlington Island, Lenape Indians ferried them across the Delaware River in canoes. Their horses swam across. The travelers landed at what George deemed an ideal site for a settlement.

Within a decade, English Quakers took the hint. They got to work building Buckingham village (the future Bristol) in the new colony of Pennsylvania. Just upstream, William Penn purchased 8,431 acres from the Lenape for his Pennsbury Manor home plus territory…

Shaub fuels IR girls’ softball run to the DIAA state finale

Jaya Shaub

Jaya Shaub displays an Indian River High School colored bow in her hair. Shaub is this week’s salute to the IRHS seniors.

Coastal Point • Mike Stern

Losing is tough.

But remaining victorious of spirit and attitude is achievable regardless of what the scoreboard reads.

Jaya Schaub realizes this.

The outstanding Indian River High School girls’ softball third-baseman remains thankful and enthusiastic about the wild ride that she and her teammates took to the DIAA state championship game.

The Indians fell just short of winning the title, after their 15-game winning streak was snapped by Caravel Academy at the University of Delaware on Saturday, June 3.

“I’m beyond proud of all the work we’ve put in this season, and I think we showed ourselves and other schools how much we can really do,” said Shaub after IR finished the season at an impressive 19-4. “I wouldn’t want to win with another team, and I wouldn’t have wanted to lose with another team. My Indian River High teammates really are my sisters, and I’m glad I got the opportunity to make history with them. I’m not disappointed that we lost, and I’m even more sad that the season is over. But that only means that it was something good enough to miss, and for that I’m grateful.”

Calm, peace and purpose in the batter’s box

She displays a striking command presence.

The strapping 5-foot-7 right-handed hitter steps into the batter’s box, exuding a sense of calm, of peace and of purpose.

Anyone watching can immediately surmise that she is locked in.

Standing just 43 feet from the girls’ softball pitcher’s mound, Shaub awaits the hurler’s offering with a sense of purpose and commitment.

Moments later, she makes solid contact with the ball, driving the sphere to the outer reaches of the outfield, then swiftly races…
