No Comments on FanDuel Casino Offering New Online Games in Michigan, Pennsylvania

Michigan and Pennsylvania are the only places where you can get the original Detroit-style pizza and Primanti Bros. sandwiches, respectively, but those aren’t the only things the two states can claim mutual exclusivity on. As of Monday, the two states share a rarity in the US online casino industry as well, pertaining to FanDuel Casino specifically.

Michigan and Pennsylvania are now the only places online casino players can access live dealer games from a dedicated FanDuel studio. It’s unclear whether these games could be available across other FanDuel brands in other markets right now.

Michigan and Pennsylvania online casino games feature FanDuel Casino addition

Michigan online casino and Pennsylvania online casino games now feature a new brand in town. According to a Monday press release, FanDuel Casino now has its own live dealer content in both gambling hot spots. The deal is an expansion of FanDuel’s existing partnership with Evolution Gaming. However, the studio bears FanDuel’s branding, not Evolution’s.

The release says “all of FanDuel’s live dealer games” will stream from the studios. Specifically, the release mentions blackjack and roulette. Among advantages for players, FanDuel says the live experience will allow it to offer exclusive promotions to its players.

Many online casino players prefer live dealer games because they are more true to an in-person casino experience. With a dedicated studio, FanDuel will be able to offer a more intimate experience as well.

To whatever degree Michiganders and Pennsylvanians prefer live dealer games, they’ll be the only ones to enjoy this new FanDuel content for the foreseeable future.

What about Connecticut, New Jersey, or other brands?

FanDuel also offers its online casino product in New Jersey and West Virginia. Furthermore, it operates the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut plus the Stardust online casino in New…

Culture connection the key at Powwow

Drums, dancing are the center of attention as the Delaware Art Museum hosts a powwow, but participants say remembering the past is the important part.

William Bretzger, Delaware News Journal

One of the first things Iz Balleto did when he moved to Delaware from New York was look for signs of Indigenous culture.

Balleto, who serves as the community engagement specialist at the Delaware Art Museum, grew up with strong ties to his Quechua heritage, tracing his ancestors back to the Incas in South America. But in Delaware — which is home to multiple Native tribes — Balleto found that outside of the tribes themselves, most Indigenous culture was relegated to small museum displays and often forgotten history.

“What about the people that have lived here for thousands of years?” Balleto said he wondered. “What about their representation? What about their presence?”

He wanted a way to share the rich history and culture of local tribes with the community at large; at the same time, he wanted to make sure he could do so in a way that showed love and respect to these traditions.

On Saturday, Balleto’s vision became a reality.

‘Open Book’ by Arooga’s Helps Secure 50-Unit Development Deal

No Comments on ‘Open Book’ by Arooga’s Helps Secure 50-Unit Development Deal

Arooga’s signed a big development deal this week that—if completed—will double the size of its footprint, adding 50 restaurants over eight years in Florida and five counties in the greater Atlanta area.

That’s a tall order, but Pam Price, co-owner of franchisee The Sporting Group, says she and her business partner are up for the challenge. She’s not an experienced operator herself, with only one turn as a franchisee years ago, but she has worked for decades helping other brands grow.

“I’ve helped facilitate hundred of locations on the development side,” she says, for brands including Dunkin’ Donuts and Church’s Chicken.

Arooga’s has 10 corporate locations in Pennsylvania, and opened its first franchise location in Uncasville, Connecticut, adjacent to the Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino in March as part of a 15-unit deal with the Mohegan tribe.

Price’s visit to that franchised restaurant, and the tribe members’ willingness to share their due diligence, helped her to decide on Arooga’s. So did the executive team, including Keith Swade, director of franchise development, and Gary Huether, president and co-founder.

Huether describes the vision for Arooga’s Grille House & Sports Bar, started seven years ago, in great detail, then sums it up like this: “We were looking for a sports bar that didn’t have crappy food, I guess you could say. We put a lot more focus on our food quality” than competitors, he says.

In her consulting work, Price said, “I used to tell everybody, if you can get an exclusive territory and help control that area, that’s the best way to grow.” She was examining many sports bar brands when the Arooga’s group was brought to her attention.

Although a young brand is risky, to her it’s the only way to go. “In order to get an exclusive territory like that, you’ve got to jump on board with…

Deadly strikes blamed on Turkey in Iraq’s Kurdistan draw condemnation

No Comments on Deadly strikes blamed on Turkey in Iraq’s Kurdistan draw condemnation

International organizations and world countries have denounced in strongest terms artillery strikes against a tourist resort blamed on Turkey in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of northern Iraq, which killed at least nine civilians and wounded more than 20 others.

The UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) roundly condemned the shelling of the northern Iraqi hill village of Parakh in the Zakho district on Wednesday, and expressed its deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wished the injured a speedy recovery.

“Civilians are once again suffering the indiscriminate effects of explosive weapons. Under international law, attacks must not be directed at the civilian population,” the UNAMI said in a statement.

“UNAMI therefore calls for a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the attack and emphasizes that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Iraq must be respected at all times.”

The UN mission then urged all parties engaged in military operations in the region to cease any violations against civilians, without delay.

Arab League condemns ‘Turkish attacks’

Secretary General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit said the shelling is an attack on Iraqi sovereignty, and represents a clear violation of international law and a flagrant breach of the principle of good neighborliness.

“The Arab League supports Iraq in rejection and condemnation of Turkish attacks, and that it denounces any encroachment or violation of the sovereignty of any Arab country,” Jamal Rushdie, a spokesperson for the secretary general, quoted Aboul Gheit as saying.

He called on Ankara to “make recalculations, maintain the principle of good neighborliness in its relations with regional countries, and refrain from carrying out military operations inside the territories of Arab countries under any pretext.”

The Arab Parliament also said it “condemns the brutal Turkish attack on Dohuk province in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, which resulted in the…

Exhibit works to forge relationships with Indigenous people

No Comments on Exhibit works to forge relationships with Indigenous people

Comment

WILMINGTON, Del. — About 400 years ago, the first Europeans began exploring land now known as Delaware.

As they journeyed through the region, their travels brought them face to face with the people who had lived there for millennia – the Lenni Lenape, the father tribe of the Lenape and Nanticoke Indians.

The Delaware Art Museum’s recently debuted exhibit, “In Conversation: Will Wilson,” works to forge a new relationship with Indigenous people by bringing visitors face to face with them through stories of Native people, 19th-century photography and augmented reality technology for an immersive experience that connects the past with the present.

In about a year and a half from idea to execution, the exhibition came together in whirlwind timing for show planning. Not only did the museum need to secure the artist’s availability, but they also needed to develop a relationship with Delaware’s Native population − some of the very people the artist would feature in his photos.

Building trust with sincere intention

The Delaware Art Museum exhibit showcases the photography of Will Wilson, a New Mexico-based Diné (Navajo) photographer whose work centers on Native American identity and culture.

Commissioning Will Wilson’s participation and arranging the logistics took effort, but the bulk of the endeavor came with establishing trust and relationships with Delaware’s Native American community.

Called Lenapehoking, the original homeland of the Lenape and Nanticoke encompassed present-day New Jersey, most of Delaware and eastern New York and Pennsylvania.

Iz Balleto, a community engagement specialist at the Delaware Art Museum, said due to past misrepresentation and exploitation, the Native community was not particularly interested in being involved in this project – earning their trust would be a process.

That process started with the tribal chiefs of the Delaware Lenape and Nanticoke first.

He said that after he and the museum committee were able to establish a…

Former UConn women’s basketball guard Bria Hartley makes Connecticut Sun debut in Tuesday’s win over Liberty

No Comments on Former UConn women’s basketball guard Bria Hartley makes Connecticut Sun debut in Tuesday’s win over Liberty

UNCASVILLE — Bria Hartley had only been in Connecticut for about 12 hours before she checked into the Connecticut Sun’s game against New York in the final minutes of the first quarter at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Hartley, playing point guard for the Sun, was quick to adjust to her new team and dished out an assist to Alyssa Thomas just 20 seconds later to give the Sun a three-point lead.

The former UConn women’s basketball guard arrived in Uncasville around midnight Monday after the Sun signed her to a rest-of-season contract earlier in the day. On Tuesday, Hartley made her debut with the Sun in its 82-63 win over New York as she returned to the state where she once led the Huskies to two straight national championships and was named an All-American.

“It’s exciting,” Hartley told Hearst Connecticut Media before Tuesday’s game. “Obviously there’s a lot of basketball culture here in Connecticut and being also from UConn, you get a lot of support. It was posted on Instagram and Twitter and it was just like an outpouring of support and that’s really nice to have.”

During the offseason, Hartley, in her ninth season in the WNBA, was traded to Indiana from Phoenix as part of a three-team trade involving the Fever, the Mercury and Chicago. The Sky traded Diamond DeShields to Phoenix along with its 2022 and 2023 first-round picks to Indiana. In return, Phoenix traded Hartley and its 2022 second-round pick to Indiana and its 2023 first-round pick to Chicago. The Fever completed the trade by sending Julie Allemand to Chicago.

Indiana placed Hartley on a partial suspension to start the season since she was…

Widespread condemnation by the international community of civilian deaths in Zakho

No Comments on Widespread condemnation by the international community of civilian deaths in Zakho

Many international powers have published statements in which they condemned the nine civilian deaths that occurred on Wednesday in Zakho (Zaxo), Iraqi Kurdistan.

The Arab Parliament that includes countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar released a statement on Thursday saying “this attack represents a flagrant violation of all international conventions and norms, and a flagrant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and the principles and rules of good neighbourliness.”

They called Turkey to “stop these hostile acts”.

Meanwhile, the attacks on civilians are completely unacceptable, Germany’s Foreign Ministry said in the statement on Thursday and that “Investigations into the circumstances of and responsibility for this attack must be conducted as a matter of urgency.”

The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office also shared on Wednesday the UK’s concerns about the attack and said that, “the UK deplores the loss of life and will continue to support the stability of Iraq including the Kurdistan Region of Iraq”.

The United States had condemned the attack on Wednesday saying that the US maintains strong support for Iraq’s national sovereignty and its security, stability, and prosperity, including that of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, the State Department spokesperson Ned Price said.

Shortly after the attack, the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) had said that the UNAMI strongly condemned the shelling of the mountain resort in the Kurdistan region on Wednesday.

Turkey, on the other hand, rejects responsibility for the attack and said that the attack was an ‘act of terror’.

North Lebanon Township supervisors consider modifying walking trail specs

No Comments on North Lebanon Township supervisors consider modifying walking trail specs

This article was funded by LebTown donors as part of our Civic Impact Reporting Project.

The North Lebanon Township Board of Supervisors met Monday to discuss topics including proposals for paving the Lenni Lenape walking trail, an updated public meeting procedure policy, and a revised fee schedule.

The supervisors heard three proposals for paving costs of the Lenni Lenape walking trail, which was partially funded by a $25,000 Marcellus Shale Grant.

The lowest proposal, which was from Nolt Paving, estimated costs at $24,636. However, state laws prohibited the supervisors from accepting at this time.

Pennsylvania township code (PDF) says that for contracts costing between $11,500 and $21,300, a township must seek three quotes from qualified contractors.

For more expensive projects, however, a township must advertise the contract twice between 10 and 45 days before bids begin. They also must have full specifications available, which can be costly to design.

The supervisors opted to table making any decisions for now. They are considering modifying their specifications such that quotes are likely to come in lower than $21,300, such as by changing the thickness of pavement or total square footage.

From left to right, treasurer Ardy Snook, chairman Ed Brensinger, and vice chairman Gary Heisey hear the township manager’s report.

On a similar note, Moore Engineering provided a proposal totaling $24,246 for the design phase, bid support, and construction support for the HVAC upgrade budgeted for 2022. Bidding for the final project is expected to take place in September.

The supervisors unanimously agreed to enter the agreement with Moore. However, vice chairman Gary Heisey expressed his displeasure with the costs accrued prior to bidding, a sentiment which was echoed during discussions of the Lenni Lenape walking path.

The supervisors…
