Sun shut down Liberty, 85-64

Jun. 6—MOHEGAN — The New York Liberty have had one of the most entertaining offenses early in this WNBA season using spacing and a bevy of threes to get out to their best start in four seasons.

The Connecticut Sun managed to put the brakes on New York in the second half of Saturday night’s game.

Sun post Jonquel Jones had a game-high 31 points and 13 rebounds as Connecticut used both its defense and superior size to down the Liberty, 85-64, before 2,118 at Mohegan Sun Arena.

New York led, 33-29, with 3 minutes, 53 seconds left in the first half. It also outshot the Sun in the first half, 53.6-percent to 42.9.

The Liberty shot just 33.3-percent (9 of 27) in the second half and were held 20 points under their season-average.

“They shot crazy in the first half,” Sun Jasmine Thomas said. “We made a concerted effort (at halftime) to be better (defensively) and kind of force them to take some shots they didn’t want to take in the second half.”

New York’s Betnijah Laney was the league’s third-leading scorer prior to the game. She made just 4 of 12 shots and scored eight with the 6-foot-4 DeWanna Bonner covering her the most.

“It starts with an individual effort,” Sun head coach Curt Miller said. “We tried to put length on (Laney) with DB. We had attention to her. She’s such a focal point on-and-off the ball.

“Jasmine Thomas (nine assists) was individually terrific on Sabrina Ionescu. We showed a lot of attention to her.”

Jonquel Jones, May’s Eastern Conference Player of the Month, scored 29 after the first quarter. She made 12 of 16 shots.

“We understood that they were going to play a ‘small ball’ lineup,” Jones said. “While it gives them some advantages offensively, we understood that defensively they were going to be really,…

Judgment on a Nanticoke man who set fire to his house

WILKES-BARRE — A Nanticoke man apologized on Monday for igniting a fire that destroyed a Dorrance Township home in 2019.

Randy Joseph Jost, 34, was sentenced to two years, three months to six years in state prison by Luzerne County Judge David W. Rupas for arson and uncontrollable fire. He admitted the charges on March 16.

According to state police records in court records, surveillance cameras recorded Yost set fire on November 30, 2019, using leaves and garden debris next to 328 Sunset Dr. It is said that it was done.

Diana Roller, who owned the house, previously testified in court that the fire caused her to suffer from other health problems such as anxiety and loss of family property.

Rollar did not attend the hearing on Monday.

“Sorry, family. I wasn’t in the right state of mind. I’m really sorry,” Joest said before Rupas ruled. Yost was recognized for 555 days working in a county correctional facility.

Yost’s sentencing hearing was postponed after his lawyer Charles G. Ross Jr. challenged the return.

Karl Frank, assistant district attorney, provided evidence from Erie Insurance that Laura’s insurance had a $ 260,000 limit on housing and a $ 195,000 limit on the loss of personal property. I introduced it. The insurance company also paid nearly $ 20,963.33 to provide Rollar housing after the fire.

Despite the maximum coverage of the insurance policy, the loss of the house was calculated to be $ 320,000 and the personal property was calculated to be $ 248,000.

Lupas ordered Yost to pay $ 475,963.33 in damages.

Arizona man wins Mohican MTB 100 race

LOUDONVILLE — The cyclist who won the men’s open of this year’s Mohican MTB 100 race had never ridden a bicycle in Ohio before. 

Kyle Trudeau, 28, of Tucson, Arizona finished the race with a time of 7:31:11. Moments after finishing, the professional cyclist said Ohio’s terrain was a bit different than the cacti and loose desert dirt he’s accustomed to. And the horse trails were different, too.

“Some spots were saturated and thick with mud, and you’re just tractoring through it — you could tell horses had just walked all through them and dug it all up,” Trudeau said. “Other than that, just nonstop hills out there. Nothing super long, but steep, and they come the entire race.”

Saturday’s event marked the National Ultra Endurance race’s 20th anniversary.

“The first year was 30 guys who all got lost,” said Ryan O’Dell, the race’s director.

He said organizers used pie plates to mark trails back then and most of those riders were his friends. Each year, the race has grown along with the appeal for ultra endurance races around the country.

“We were doubling in size every year and the growth was hard to manage,” O’Dell said. “We also had very little volunteer support. That’s when New Hope (Community Church) came.”

The church began volunteering for the race around 10 years ago. On Saturday, around 200 volunteers manned aid stations and helped with other aspects of the race — which drew nearly 600 riders from around the country. One rider traveled from France.

O’Dell said the race was made tougher this year with the addition of more single track, eliminating around 20 miles of road along the route.

“We expanded the trail out at Camp Mohaven, so there’s a 5.1-mile loop there now. And the biggest news is there is an 18-mile loop on four private properties outside of…

The state is offering $1,000 to go back to work. Is it paying off for Norwich area businesses?

Ken Long, human resources director for Putnam Plastics in Danielson,  believes the hiring market is unusual right now.

“The market is as crazy as I have ever seen it in my experience,” Long stated in an email “There are definitely more job openings now than there are people available as we come out of this pandemic.”

To help bring in more employees to businesses, on May 17, Gov. Ned Lamont announced the CT Back to Work program that would give 10,000 residents who have been unemployed a delayed $1,000 payment from the state for returning to work. While state unemployment data for May isn’t available yet, April’s numbers from the Connecticut Department of Labor already show some improvement, with the unemployment rate at 8.1%, compared to 8.6% this time last year. However, the opinion seems to be mixed if offering incentives is encouraging people to come back to work.

A

In terms of CT Back to Work, an individual earns the $1,000 after being at a job for eight weeks from now until the end of the year, after having had an unemployment claim for the week of May 23, and 11 weeks between Dec. 27 to May 22, among other requirements on the program’s frequently asked questions document.

Mohegan Sun incentives

Jeff Hamilton, president and CEO of Mohegan Sun, said it’s good to offer an incentive, but $1,000 only goes so far compared to the extra $300 in federal money given weekly for unemployment.

“I think it does something, but I think people are smarter than we’re giving them credit for,” Hamilton said. “They’re saying to themselves ‘I’m making this amount staying home, and this amount working. Even with…

Chesapeake Conservancy and Sussex County Land Trust Celebrate Purchase of Nanticoke Crossing Park

Nanticoke Crossing Park used to be a trailer park. Now the 41 acre property will allow visitors and Delawareans to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature along the Nanticoke River. Within the 41 acres, is 29 acres of forest, 12 acres of open with canopy trees, and 1,900 hundred feet of shoreline.

 

“My father 60 years ago was the mayor of Seaford, he built the sewage disposal plan and cleaned up the river so that today we can go out and enjoy it. I feel really grateful as his son to be now involved as chair of the Chesapeake Conservancy, and opening up access points to the Nanticoke River,” said Randy Larrimore, chairman of the Chesapeake Conservancy.

 

Instead of building a development on the land, Larrimore says they’re building a true national park experience in Seaford.

 

“I’m just so proud now that we have protected all four corners of the Nanticoke. This was the last spot that needed to be acquired to protect the viewscape from this area for generations to generations and hundreds of years to come,” said Larrimore.

 

According to Chesapeake Conservancy, 33% of the land along the Nanticoke River is already protected.

 

“It’s so important given President Biden’s charge to protect 30% of United States land by 2030,” said Larrimore.

 

Several government and non-profit organizations came together to preserve this land.

 

“As the deal got consummated we brought in three or four other partners. The Sussex County Council played a major role in this, Mount Cuba, our friends at Mount Cuba, The U.S. Navy, and Delaware Fish and Wildlife and the Delaware Open Space Council Delaware,” said Casey Kenton, Chairman of the Sussex County Land Trust 

 

The park, which is still in the early stages, will allow people…

ASHLAND COUNTY, Ohio — A 69-year-old man riding a motorcycle was killed in a head-on crash involving a 2018 GMC Terrain Sunday in Hanover Township, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

State troopers responded at approximately 4:35 p.m. to a crash on State Route 97 near ODNR Mohican Road 51 in Ashland County.

The driver of the motorcycle, identified as Randall L. Beecham, 69, of Bellville, was ejected from the bike. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Terrain, a 30-year-old from Akron, was transported to UH Samaritan Medical Center in Ashland with non-life threatening injuries.

Here’s a High-Rolling First Look Inside Tao Nightlife Empire’s Latest Casino Location

TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge at Mohegan Sun (1)

TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge at Mohegan Sun

There’s never been a better time to treat yourself, to remind yourself of the finer things in life and to rediscover the thrill and the energy of the world at large. That means, to us, that there’s no better time to visit the recently opened TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge at Mohegan Sun.

To say there’s something for everyone at Mohegan Sun is an understatement. We took an exclusive look inside Mohegan Sun and the latest TAO outpost, one that expands a formidable nightlife empire even further.

The TAO name precedes itself: The TAO Downtown in New York City has earned a well-deserved reputation as a hip, bustling nightlife spot, and TAO’s cash cow of a Las Vegas location was America’s highest-grossing independent restaurant for four straight years in the last decade.

Clocking in at 10,000 square feet, seating 300 patrons and filled with TAO’s signature Pan-Asian flair (including a 16-foot-tall Quan Yin statue), TAO Mohegan Sun is a welcome respite from times that have been anything but opulent.
