Newly crowned Ben Rothwell is leaving his mark with BKFC

Ben Rothwell proudly wore the BKFC World Heavyweight Championship belt over his shoulder at the KnuckleMania V post-fight press conference.

The belt is heavy, but Rothwell felt a massive burden lifted off his shoulders.

Less than an hour earlier, the combat sports legend accomplished his lifelong dream of winning a world championship. Defying the oddsmakers and many of his peers on the BKFC roster, Rothwell dethroned Mick Terrill with a 36-second KO in front of more than 17,000 screaming fans at the sold-out Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

“It’s kind of tough to put it all into words; it still feels very surreal,” says Rothwell, who’s rarely been short on words during his storied combat sports run.

Rothwell enjoyed a long, successful career in MMA. He’s defeated his share of world champions, but a UFC belt eluded him during his 17 fights with the promotion.

“So many people have believed in me for so long and have wanted to see me get a world title, and I finally did it. At 43 years old, man, I thought I let the opportunity slip by me,” Rothwell says.

“I had kind of accepted the fact that I wouldn’t be a world champion,” he adds. “I went through the depression, through all the stages of grief, but here it is. It’s happened. It’s real, but it’s pretty surreal.” 

Rothwell is happier now than he was before Saturday’s Co-Main Event showdown with Terrill, but he’s definitely not satisfied. He hopes for a quick turnaround — ideally in his home state of Wisconsin, where bare knuckle fighting is in the process of being legalized.

“I’m ready for anything,” he says. “I want to be a busy champion and leave my mark as a champion in the sport of bare knuckle fighting.”

Luzerne County bridge assessment underway

Luzerne County’s outside engineer recently briefed the council on bridges as part of a broader plan to catalog and prioritize work on all 300-plus county-owned spans.

Tom Reilly, president of Reilly Associates in Pittston — the county’s outside engineer — told council during last week’s work session the first phase now completed was categorizing them by length.

Only four crossings exceed 100 feet. These bridges and status updates he provided:

• Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge over the Susquehanna River (2,072 feet)

The county is in the process of selecting an engineer who must come up with three options to address the bridge, which was reduced to a 5-ton weight limit prohibiting access by fire trucks and emergency rescue vehicles.

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.

Until a solution is selected and designed, the span must be inspected every six months, Reilly said.

• Water Street (Firefighters’ Memorial Bridge) linking Pittston and West Pittston (1,500 feet)

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation had agreed to assume responsibility for replacing the closed Water Street Bridge because it is part of a bridge bundling that also will replace the nearby state-owned Spc. Dale J. Kridlo Bridge (Fort Jenkins) Bridge.

Reilly said the Water Street project is expected to be bid out in late 2026, so work can commence at the end of that year. This is a hard deadline due to $18 million in federal grant funding earmarked for the project, he said.

• Stephenson Street Bridge, Duryea (268 feet)

This bridge is gated to block public usage because it had been primarily intended to access a private quarry and swampland on the north side of the Lackawanna…

“Sándor Csoóri was the last Mohican of folk writers”

On his birthday, we celebrate the inner freedom, the non -bargaining clarity without which there is no real art without which there is no real life.

Sándor Csoóri was the last Mohican of folk writers, a writer, poet, playwright and screenwriter, said Balázs Hankó, Minister for Culture and Innovation, on Sunday, a 95 -year -old artist at the Petőfi Literary Museum.

The minister recalled that the government launched the Sándor Csoóri program in 2017 in honor It helps folk dancing, folk music and folk song organizations and communities. Last year, nearly 1800 people received support.

At the commemoration, the minister promised that the artist’s birthplace and memorial plaque would be renewed next year.

“When we talk about Alexander Csoóri, we do not simply evoke a poet, but a memory in which he has a revolutionary belief in 1956, the fate of the Hungarian peasantry, there is the sorrow over the beauty and destruction of folk culture, The drama of certainty and disillusionment, the drama of togetherness and disintegration, and the belief that writing and thinking in Hungarian is not a private matter, but a community experience, ”said Szilárd Demeter, president of the Hungarian National Museum Public Collection Center (MNMKK).

He emphasized that Sándor Csoóri was not only an artist in the 1970s and 1980s, but also the conscience of the nation, “not because he chose this role, but because he could not do otherwise.”

When power tried to forget about society, he confronted the power of remembrance when they spoke about the broken Hungarians, he was looking for unity, he stressed. Seeing the disillusionment after the change of regime, the writer did not break because he knew that real changes were not on the surface of politics, but in the deeper layers of culture, he said.

Last Call: Brewery In Century-Old Church Announces Closure In Mohegan Lake

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4QQ88a_0yWxhdlI00

A Northern Westchester brewery known for its unique setting inside a century-old church has set its closing date.

Argonne Rose Brewing Company , located at 1715 East Main St. (Route 6) in Mohegan Lake, announced that its last day of service will be Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025, citing “unforeseen circumstances” as the reason for the closure.

In a heartfelt statement, owners Sarah, Marc, and Dave thanked their patrons and the local brewing community for making their journey special.

“The warmth, laughter, and unforgettable memories shared with all of you have been what truly made this place unique,” they wrote. “Connecting with our regulars and meeting new friends has been a highlight of our time here.”

The brewery, which held its grand opening on New Year’s Eve 2022 , was known for its craft beer, gastropub menu, and historic atmosphere inside the former St. George’s Church, built in 1911. The owners, who share a passion for history, chose the name “Argonne Rose” as a tribute to the Argonne Forest in France, the site of a pivotal World War I battle, and the U.S. national flower, the rose.

Since its opening, Argonne Rose became a local gathering spot, offering live music, community events, and a unique blend of brewing traditions and modern techniques.

The owners also expressed gratitude to their dedicated team, emphasizing that their success was made possible through the support of family, friends, and the greater Westchester brewing community.

As the brewery prepares for its final weeks, patrons are encouraged to stop by and celebrate before the doors close for good.

“Let’s make these last moments together unforgettable,” the owners said.

Who Founded Pennsylvania?

Who Founded Pennsylvania?PENNSYLVANIA STATE – Pennsylvania, a state synonymous with American history, liberty, and religious tolerance, owes its existence to the vision of one man: William Penn. An English Quaker, Penn founded the colony of Pennsylvania in 1681, transforming a vast tract of land in the New World into a haven for religious freedom and a bold experiment in self-governance.

William Penn: The Quaker Visionary Who Founded Pennsylvania

This article explores the life and ideals of William Penn, examining how his Quaker beliefs shaped the foundation of Pennsylvania and left an enduring legacy on American history.

A Quaker in a Turbulent Time

William Penn was born in London in 1644 into a prominent Anglican family. However, he converted to Quakerism in his early twenties, a decision that dramatically altered the course of his life, as documented in biographies of Penn, such as those by Mary Maples Dunn and William Wistar Comfort. The Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers, was a dissenting Christian group that faced persecution in England for their pacifist beliefs, their rejection of established church hierarchy, and their refusal to swear oaths, as detailed in historical accounts of the Quaker movement. They were also anti-war and did not believe in violence.

A “Holy Experiment”: Penn’s Vision for Pennsylvania

Penn envisioned a colony where Quakers and other religious minorities could live and worship freely, a radical concept in the 17th century. In 1681, King Charles II granted Penn a vast tract of land in North America, totaling over 45,000 square miles, partly to settle a debt owed to Penn’s deceased father, Admiral Sir William Penn, as recorded in the original charter, now preserved in the Pennsylvania State Archives. Penn named this land “Pennsylvania,” meaning “Penn’s Woods,” in honor of his father. Penn’s…

For a second summer in a row, Dave Matthews Band to skip Connecticut on upcoming summer tour

Dave Matthews Band fans in Connecticut expecting a tour stop in the Nutmeg State on its annual summer tour may be disappointed this year. The band announced its spring and summer tour dates on Tuesday with Connecticut noticeably absent from the itinerary. 

The band was a staple at Hartford’s Xfinity Theatre — playing almost yearly since 1995 and seldomly skipping the state on its annual summer jaunts. Last year, the band skipped Hartford, but played Mohegan Sun Arena in the fall. 

Neither Xfinity Theatre nor Dave Matthews Band responded to requests for comment. 

Those looking to catch the band nearby on its upcoming tour can travel to New York for its shows in Bethel (May 24), Syracuse (May 27) or Saratoga Springs (July 18-19). Dave Matthews Band will also be performing shows in New Jersey and New Hampshire as well as headlining the Boston Calling music festival, which is held at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Cambridge, Mass., on Memorial Day weekend. 

Matthews and his group were recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of its 2024 class alongside Ozzy Osbourne, A Tribe Called Quest, Cher, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, Kool & The Gang and Mary J. Blige. Last fall, the band headlined the Soulshine benefit concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, which raised $4.5 million for those impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton, according to a news release from Shore Fire Media. Connecticut’s Goose, Trey Anastasio from Phish, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and the Warren Haynes Band were among the other performers at the benefit concert.

Pre-sale tickets for Matthews’ summer tour dates, outside of Boston Calling and other festivals the band is performing at, are available to request through the DMB Warehouse Fan Association. Tickets will go on…

UN and Iraq Launch ONE UN Plan to Support the Return, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration of Iraqis from Al-Hol Camp [EN/AR]

Attachments

Baghdad, 30 January 2025 – The United Nations and the Government of Iraq launched today the second phase of the ONE UN Plan, titled “New Beginnings”, a comprehensive framework aimed at facilitating the safe, voluntary, and dignified return, rehabilitation, and reintegration of Iraqi nationals from Al-Hol and Al-Roj camps in northeastern Syria.

The event, held at Al-Nahrain Center in Baghdad, was attended by senior representatives of the Government of Iraq, the United Nations, the diplomatic community, and international partners. Speaking at the ceremony, Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq and Head of UNAMI Dr. Mohamed Al Hassan stated: “Iraq’s leadership, in facilitating the return of its citizens from northeastern Syria, sets a global positive precedent. This comprehensive and courageous initiative has been praised by the highest levels in the United Nations, including the Secretary-General himself.” He added: “It is time to close this file and turn the page on ISIS threats. It is a challenging project and solving it in accordance with international standards and in a manner that commensurate with the level of this country that has shaped the civilization of humanity is evidence of Iraq’s recovery.”

For his part, the National Security Advisor Mr. Qassim al-Araji thanked all government and international partners for their efforts, emphasizing the importance of accelerating the return process and closing Al-Hol camp. He also urged international partners to continue supporting Iraq in this effort. The ONE UN Plan builds upon Iraq’s efforts since 2021 to repatriate and reintegrate its citizens, particularly women and children who have lived in harsh and volatile conditions in Al-Hol. More than 60 percent of the Iraqis in the camp are children under 17, and 20 percent are under five, many of whom have been denied access to fundamental rights, including education. Recognizing the deteriorating…
