WILKES-BARRE — Several times during the sentencing hearing for Nicole Hagenbach, the proceeding was stopped to refocus on her being punished for delivering prescription pills instead of the overdose death of a state corrections officer.

Hagenbach, 34, of East Noble Street, Nanticoke, admitted to possessing contraband and controlled substances at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas, Jackson Township, and delivering a controlled substance (adderall) to corrections officer Robert Bath Jr. near the main gate on July 24, 2020.

Bath, 36, collapsed while working at the prison about one hour after meeting Hagenbach, according to court records.

Three days later, Bath was found dead inside his residence with evidence of drug use near his body.

State police at Wilkes-Barre in court records say surveillance cameras recorded Hagenbach meeting Bath at SCI-Dallas.

During the investigation, state police uncovered bank documents that showed Bath had transferred nearly $20,790 to Hagenbach and text messages between the two referencing deliveries of prescription pills.

At Hagenbach’s sentencing hearing before Luzerne County Judge David W. Lupas, her attorney, Peter John Moses, said Hagenbach pled guilty to delivery of adderall and possessing contraband on state prison property, not for Bath’s death.

After Bath’s mother, Deborah Cembrock, addressed Lupas expressing the grief of losing her son, the judge acknowledged her sorrow but reminded the parties Hagenbach was not charged with drug delivery resulting in death.

Mark Cembrock said his brother was a third generation state corrections officer…

New Jersey-Based Sand Hill Lenape Indians Seeks Long-Overdue Federal and State Recognition

United States – May 31, 2022 —

The Sand Hill Lenape Indians made tremendous contributions to the development of the state of New Jersey and the U.S States. An ex-mayor of Neptune Township, New Jersey, said, “It is a shame what some people in the State have done to the Sand Hill Lenape Indians.” Then he went on to say, “the Sand Hill Lenape Indians and the Reevey family are the people who made the state of New Jersey possible.”

The Sand Hill Lenape Indians were the original group of Native American families that settled in the lands of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan today over 10,000 years ago. These people were skilled farmers, builders, engineers, artists, musicians, hunters, athletes, emergency technicians, community leaders, U.S. soldiers, U.S. senators, medics, inventors, guardians, makers, teachers, etc. They also helped build cities in New Jersey, the Boardwalks, housing, and many other architectural structures in N.J. According to historic evidence, the Sand Hill Lenape Indians (“THE INDIANS OF LENAPEHOKING”) are actually some of the last living descendants of the sacred ancient Mayan mound building, “world teacher” people. In the 1600s the Sand Hill Lenape Indians opened their lands to European settlers who were trying to escape the tyranny of some of the past monarchs of Europe.

Update on Accountability in Iraq: limited progress toward justice for human rights violations and abuses by ‘Unidentified Armed Elements’ [EN/AR]

Attachments

Summary

Pursuant to its mandate under Security Council Resolution 2631 (2022) to ‘promote accountability and the protection of human rights’, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) continues to closely monitor the response of the Government to patterns of violence, attributable to the state and ‘unidentified armed elements’, against protestors as well as against activists expressing dissent towards political parties and armed elements.

This report, Update on Accountability in Iraq: limited progress toward justice for human rights violations and abuses by ‘Unidentified Armed Elements’, was prepared by the Human Rights Office of UNAMI and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in line with the international human rights framework applicable to Iraq as well as relevant national law. It is the seventh publication issued on this subject since October 2019 and covers the period of 1 May 2021 to 15 May 2022. During this period, in October 2021, Iraq held early parliamentary elections. These elections emerged from an unprecedented wave of country-wide demonstrations in 2019, marked by violence, excessive use of force, abductions, and targeted killings, with hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries. As of May 2022, a new Government has yet to be formed.

This update highlights that some progress has been made, particularly on compensation for victims, but results regarding accountability remain limited. From 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2022, UNAMI/OHCHR documented convictions in relation to four cases concerning violence perpetrated by armed elements. The Fact-Finding Committee established by the Government is operational but has not produced any investigative outcomes or provided public information about its work. Many of those individuals seeking accountability have been subjected to threats, including violence. The Government of Iraq admittedly operates in a complex environment, including within the context of stalled government formation. However,…

Mohegan Tribe Partners With Yale University to Combat Problem Gambling

The Mohegan Tribe is partnering with Yale University to fund a new initiative aimed at combatting problem gambling. Researchers from the Yale School of Medicine will begin developing an app to deliver cognitive behavioral therapy.

“Which is an evidence-based treatment for substance use as well as other behavioral addictions including gambling,” said Dr. Brian Kiluk, associate professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine.

The app would help broaden access to treatment for people struggling with problem gambling.

“That’s the hope. I think one of the challenges in the field – not just gambling, but mental health in general – is that there just aren’t enough treatment providers available to meet the demand and the need of individuals,” Kiluk said.

The partnership comes months after online gaming and sports betting became legal in Connecticut. As part of that legislation, the tribal casinos and the Connecticut Lottery had to enhance their commitment to combatting problem gambling.

“You cannot do expansion of this magnitude without having a strong focus on problem gaming,” said Paul Mounds, chief of staff for Governor Ned Lamont’s administration.

In accordance with the legislation, the Mohegan Tribe will contribute over $2 million to Yale’s School of Medicine to develop the app.

According to a press release from the Mohegan Tribe, the funding comes in addition to the Tribe’s annual contribution of nearly $300,000 to the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling.

“This joint effort with Yale is the first of its kind. We recognize modernizing gaming comes with additional responsibility to our community and we have readily doubled down on our support to promote responsible gaming,” said Ray Pineault, President and CEO of Mohegan, said in a press release.

Connecticut’s Council on Problem Gambling has recorded a huge increase in call volume to their helpline since online gambling was legalized last year….

‘Ocean City is my hometown’: World-traveling artist returns to repair Nanticoke sculpture

“My canvas is the entirety of the North American continent.”

Peter Wolf Toth, the world-traveling, self-taught sculptor, has returned to Ocean City to repair his 20-foot tall “Whispering Giant” sculpture.

Toth, who was initially invited to erect the sculpture in 1976 by former Ocean City mayor Harry W. Kelley, was pleased to have an excuse to return to the resort town.

Having grown up in Vienna, Austria, Toth, who speaks English, Hungarian and German, moved to the United States at the age of 11. Once here, he began to develop a deep interest in Native American art, culture and history.

Artist Peter Wolf Toth works on his

Although he is a self-taught sculptor, he was often inspired by his father, who was also an artist.

Toth’s first statue was made from stone and on a California cliffside. Since then, he has built a total of 74 statues, at least one in each of the 50 states. He has teased that his next project will be along the Amazon River.

Today, he feels a strong connection to every state, country and continent on which he has ever stepped foot.

“This, Ocean City, is my hometown. Vienna is my hometown. Budapest is my hometown. Every place where I have created one of my statues or lived is my hometown,” he said. “I feel the cold of Alaska, I feel the heat of Florida because I’m a part of it.”

Moving around the country has led Toth to working in all sorts of weather.

Mohegans announce support for Yale plan to combat problem gambling

Mohegan — Mohegan Sun’s tribal owners announced Tuesday that over the next five years they will invest $2 million in the Yale School of Medicine’s ongoing development of an app-based program aimed at treating problem gambling through a process known as cognitive behavioral therapy.

The announcement came at a news media event at the Mohegan Community and Government Center on Crow Hill Road.

“This will revolutionize the treatment of problem gambling,” said Ray Pineault, president and chief executive officer of Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, the casino’s corporate parent.

Pineault and Mohegan tribal leaders were joined by Yale School of Medicine officials, the executive director of the National Council on Problem Gambling, the president and CEO of the American Gaming Association and representatives of Gov. Ned Lamont’s administration.

The Mohegan Tribe’s investment represents part of its response to the 2021 legislation that legalized online casino gaming and sports betting in the state. The tribe also has increased its $300,000-a-year contribution to the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling and has contributed more than $10 million to problem-gambling programs and services since Mohegan Sun’s 1996 opening, Pineault said.

Proven effective in the treatment of depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions, including substance abuse, cognitive behavioral therapy, commonly known as CBT, has yet to be applied to gambling addiction.

Brian Kiluk, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, said the Mohegan investment will enable Yale researchers to adapt a computer-based CBT program a Yale team developed years ago to treat substance abuse and dependence. Kiluk, a member of that team, said a goal of an app-based program designed to treat problem gambling will be to reach underserved populations.

A form of talk therapy, CBT deals with patterns of thinking and beliefs and seeks to help people recognize…
