Ralph Edward Newberry, 63 – Morning Star Publications

It is with very heavy hearts we announce the unexpected passing of Ralph Edward Newberry of Delmar, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and a friend to so many. Ralph, aka Eddie, born in New Brighton, Pa., was a c/o ‘80 NBHS Lions graduate. After enduring life’s ups and downs, enjoying much love, laughter, and countless blessings, Ralph entered Heaven as his life on earth ended.

Ralph was a man of deep convictions; hardheaded, driven and a trusted confidant to many. He had an unending love for his family, and enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, including fishing with the Nanticoke Bass Club, engaging in HAM radio conversations as KA3NTV, and riding motorcycles with the DMA.

His strong work ethic and willingness to mentor others made a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to work alongside him. Ralph was a dedicated electronics filter design engineer for 40 years making his mark in the field of Microwave and RF filters. He worked with several respected companies, including Salisbury Engineering where he got his start in 1985, K&L, Lorch, and finally Millennium. Semi-retiring at the end of 2023. He truly enjoyed his work and would often share stories of the interesting challenges and projects he faced. And if that wasn’t enough to keep himself busy, in 2011 he became a partner with Brian Barnes in the acquisition of Big Mouth Lures.

Ralph’s true joy came from his family. He is survived by his devoted wife and biggest supporter of 43 years, Carol (Fox) Newberry; their number one son, Nathan Newberry; and favorite daughter, Lydia Newberry (Inmer Choc). He was Poppop to Ethan and Adelynn, who always brought a smile to his face and so much joy to his life.

Ralph will be sorely missed by his mother Phyllis Newberry; brother Richard (Lisa) and nephew Tarl; sister-in-law Monica and…

Columbus, OH – Injuries Reported in Crash at Hiawatha St & Mohican Ave

Columbus, OH (July 2, 2025) – A vehicle collision on Tuesday at the intersection of Hiawatha St and Mohican Ave resulted in injuries and required emergency medical assistance in the South Linden area of Columbus. The crash occurred during the afternoon hours and involved at least two vehicles.

Reports from the scene indicate that the vehicles collided near the center of the intersection, causing one to veer off the road and strike a stop sign. The force of the crash prompted multiple 911 calls from nearby residents, and the Columbus Division of Fire quickly arrived to provide aid.

Individuals involved in the collision sustained a variety of injuries. Paramedics treated several people on-site, and at least one victim was transported to a nearby hospital for additional care. Although officials have not yet released full details on the severity of the injuries, responders confirmed that the situation required immediate medical attention.

The intersection was partially blocked for over an hour while investigators collected evidence and crews worked to clear the wreckage. Authorities have not yet confirmed what led to the collision, though factors such as visibility issues or driver inattention are being considered.

We send our thoughts and well wishes to those recovering from this crash.

Residential Crashes in Columbus Neighborhoods

The South Linden neighborhood, where Hiawatha St and Mohican Ave intersect, is composed of narrow roads and densely spaced intersections. These conditions, combined with fluctuating traffic volumes, create an environment where serious crashes can occur even at lower speeds.

Tuesday’s incident is a reminder of the importance of cautious driving in residential areas. Even a brief distraction or rolling stop at a low-traffic intersection can result in major damage and personal injury. Victims of such crashes often deal with more than immediate physical harm—they may face ongoing medical needs, emotional…

Standing Bear Council July Meeting Sunday, July 6

Standing Bear Council will host its July membership meeting on Sunday, July 6, at 1 p.m. at the Hawkeye Restaurant, 105 N. Park Dr., Keokuk, Iowa. Those wishing to eat are encouraged to come at noon.

Standing Bear Council meetings and membership are open to all people– Native and non-Native.

Standing Bear Council Elder, Jerry Starr, will continue to speak on how to listen to the drum and the sacred aspects of the drum and drumming. The drum is the “heartbeat” of gatherings and powwows, a vital reminder of Native Americans’ resilience, strength and survival despite centuries-long persecution and upheaval, and of their bond with ancestral lands. He will be joined by Karen Sparrow.

Following the presentation, the meeting will focus on reviewing the program at the Montrose Health Center on June 10, the presentation at the Hamilton Public Library on June 12, the program for the Carthage Public Library on June 23, the presentation at the Keokuk Public Library July 2, and the blessing ceremony at the future Puck-e-she-tuck Native Garden in Keokuk. The Keokuk Historic Commission named the garden, which means “foot of the rapids,” and asked Standing Bear Council to participate.

The garden is at the site of the former Benjamin Bawdin home, constructed in the mid-19th century– circa 1847– and Keokuk’s oldest residence and last standing handmade frontier house until it was deconstructed and put into storage; a frame of the house with a roof– a “ghost structure” will be built in the near future. The home was located in what was once the “Half-Breed Tract,” a 119,000-acre tract of land housing people of mixed (Native American– especially Sauk and Fox– and European) heritage.

Grant applications and the Winter Gathering will be discussed. The Council will coordinate speakers and topics for educational programs during the membership meetings.

Standing Bear Council is a…

Shannon Holsey on impacts of tribal health clinics and the Tribal Elder Food Box program.

ICT News

President Shannon Holsey:
In our dental department, we currently have — I think — 1,500 patients, which is pretty a large operation, so it’s multifaceted in its approach. People are very, very reliant on our health care clinic to provide basic health care to them. So, our health care system has been in operation for a long time. We have expanded and we continue to expand. Right behind our health care clinic we also have a assisted living center that can house up to 36 of our tribal elders and community members, so our operations are expanding.

Erica Ayisi:
I know some of the tribes have Tribal Elder Food Boxes and other community-based, food-based programs to provide Indigenous food to the elder community. Does Stockbridge-Munsee have a similar program, and if so, with USDA cuts, how has that been impacted?

President Shannon Holsey:
Yes, it is. So, it impacts every tribe in Wisconsin. We all participate in this USDA food box program, and it’s scheduled to be cut as of the fall. We have solicited additional dollars to continue it, because we know that it has had positive impact. It’s…

Luzerne County Council ranking prospective Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge engineers

Luzerne County Council is in the process of ranking the top three prospective engineering design firms for the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge replacement project, according to a Wednesday update from county Manager Romilda Crocamo.

Council members heard presentations from all three on June 26.

County administrators and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District 4 representatives also attended these interview sessions, Crocamo said.

Once council ranks the firms, that information will be sent to PennDOT’s Central Office for review and approval, she said.

“All information must remain confidential until Central Offices approves. If any of the information presented is made public, the entire process for selecting a design firm must start at the beginning,” her update said.

Council had planned to hold a public interview session but was informed the applicant interviews cannot be public under PennDOT regulations, officials had said.

Crocamo had closed the county-owned bridge over the Susquehanna River on March 20 after engineers performing an inspection found further deterioration and section loss of primary, load-carrying components.

Council allowed a county administration team to review the statements of qualifications from all five engineering firm respondents and recommend the top three to council, which will make the final selection.

In addition to $10 million in federal funding allocated through the state for this project, the county has access to a $55 million casino gambling fund established for county infrastructure.

Because federal funding is involved, the county must select an engineer to develop three options for the bridge.

Since the bridge closing, the alternate route has been the state Route 29/South Cross Valley Expressway crossing, officially called the John S. Fine Bridge.

Totaling 2,072 feet, the bridge connects Nanticoke and the West Nanticoke section of Plymouth Township. The crossing was constructed in 1914 and last…

The Queer Liberation March, a protest march organized annually by the Reclaim Pride Coalition, returned to the streets of Manhattan on June 29 for the seventh time.

“I’m hopeful that people are going to be angry enough to turn out,” Reclaim Pride Coalition co-founder Jay W. Walker said in a pre-march interview with Gay City News at the NYC AIDS Memorial Park in St. Vincent’s Triangle.

Since 2019, the Queer Liberation March has called upon the spirit of the Stonewall Riots to reclaim Pride as a space without cops or corporate sponsorships. The first official march in 2019 commemorated the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, and the Queer Liberation March route is modeled after the 1970 Christopher Street Liberation Day March route uptown from the Stonewall Inn to Central Park at Columbus Circle, which Reclaim Pride Coalition chooses to reclaim as Lenape Circle.

Walker said that last year, people were in a “more complacent place” leading up to the 2024 US presidential election, but the majority of Americans have seen their rights jeopardized in some way since January.

“All these people that are threatened — we are one. We’re…

This Tiny New England Island Is Filled With Literal Treasure—Here’s How to Find It

Block Island has always been a favored destination for those who love a touch of intrigue. The tiny teardrop-shaped land mass 12 miles off the coast of mainland Rhode Island has a long and storied history with marauders wading ashore, the most famous being Captain Kidd, a privateer turned pirate who visited in 1699 in the days before his capture. He would eventually be executed in London, but not before he told the world he had left behind some buried treasure. While a piece of his fortune was found off the coast of Madagascar, the rest of it could be anywhere, even here on the island. While you’re unlikely to discover his gold, there are some modern-day treasures to discover: Eben Horton’s glass floats.

Horton is no marauder, privateer, or pirate. Rather, he’s a mild-mannered and downright friendly glassblower from Newport, just across the Block Island Sound. He didn’t mean to become a celebrity. But when he inherited a box of cracked paperweights from his mentor that were destined for a landfill, everything changed. “I filled a backpack full of these things and I hid them all along the beach,” Horton said of his first go-around with trash-turned-treasure in the late ‘90s. “And I just thought, This is gonna make some people really happy.”

That simple act of gifting something beautiful for free, with no strings attached and no Instagram tag required, planted the seed of what would become the Glass Float Project, a Block Island tradition that officially began in 2011.

Every year, starting in late May or early June, Horton and a crew of volunteers…
