H.S. football Week 10 preview: Rivalry games take the spotlight

There are three longtime rivalries on the schedule as the Wyoming Valley Conference football completes its regular season Friday night.

There’s Lake-Lehman at Dallas in the Old Shoe Game, which dates back to 1958. The trophy itself goes even further back to 1948 when it was awarded to the best team in the Back Mountain.

Then there’s Nanticoke Area at Hanover Area in the Sans Souci Struggle, a moniker adopted in 2018. The schools first played under their current names in 1967 after several school mergers were completed. Nanticoke High School and Hanover High School, though, first played in 1920.

And finally, there’s Pittston Area at Wyoming Area which is called … well, it really doesn’t have a name. It’s just a game between cross-river rivals dating back to 1967. Still, it’s the best of the three Friday night.

Pittston Area and Wyoming Area both bring in 8-1 records, marking only the third time both teams enter the game with one loss. The other two occasions need asterisks.

The WVC and Lackawanna Conference merged for the 2000 and 2001 seasons to form the ill-fated Northeast Pennsylvania Football Conference. Pittston Area and Wyoming Area played Week 4 those years and each team was 2-1 those times.

There have been some oddities concerning final scores. Pittston Area won 7-5 in 1974 and 6-2 in 1989. The game has been decided by one point five times, with Wyoming Area winning three. The last seven meetings haven’t been close as the margin of victory has been double digits.

Here are some factors to consider in tonight’s game, which starts at 7 p.m.

• Playoff Picture: The game has more playoff implications for Pittston Area than Wyoming Area.

Mohican Area Growth Foundation introduces Loudonville dining grant program

LOUDONVILLE — The Mohican Area Growth Foundation (MAGF) wants to attract more dining options to downtown Loudonville.

Jordan Lance, MAGF’s board president announced the Loudonville Downtown Dining Expansion Grant Program at the foundation’s annual meeting on Thursday.

“Everybody always wants more downtown dining options or more dining options in general,” Lance said.

The grant program “supports the creation or expansion of full‐service restaurants in downtown Loudonville, Ohio. The goals are to increase food-service options for residents and visitors, extend evening activation and strengthen the hospitality ecosystem and vibrancy of the downtown district,” according to the program guidelines.

Projects seeking MAGF funding must be located between the following boundaries:

  • North: Butler Street
  • South: Bustle Street
  • East: Pleasant Drive
  • West: Mount Vernon Avenue

The Western boundary, North Mount Vernon Avenue, is not pictured.

The program budget is $80,000, where MAGF will match 80% of the project up to $80,000 per location, and applicants must contribute the other 20%. The project size must be a minimum of $10,000.

“We know that if somebody’s going to build a restaurant, it’s going to cost a lot more than $80,000, but we hope this will help make the math work. So that’s what this program is for,” Lance said.

Project awards are reimbursement-based, meaning the funds are released to applicants after improvements are installed with proper documentation of costs.

MAGF will begin accepting project applications on Nov. 1, with a priority review window of Nov. 1 through Jan. 31, and an application deadline of May 1, 2026 at 5 p.m.

The target for project completion is Dec. 31, 2026, and funds will be reimbursed 45 days following project completion.

“The MAGF Board may modify these dates or re‐open the window depending on funding and downtown priorities,” according to the…

Lenape Native Americans visit Chester County Homeland from Oklahoma

WEST CHESTER–We all know at least one word from the Lenape language – “Hea,” which translates simply to Hey.

That was just one wonderful nugget of knowledge culled from a presentation made by five Elders of the Lenape, or Delaware Tribe of Indians, at West Chester University’s Philips Autograph Library, while they recently visited their “Homeland” here.

This program was part of the Chester County History Center’s America250 programming and was funded by the  Chester County History Center’s Humphry Marshall Fund.

The Lenape had been forced out of the area hundreds of years ago and many ended up in Oklahoma.

“We didn’t leave anything behind, we brought our people,” said Jana Jolynn Roth. “That’s how important our culture is to us.

“Our family died to keep our culture.”

Annette Ketchum said that 39 current Native American tribes ended up in Oklahoma where “no man or beast could survive, but we survived.”

“We have carried our traditions with us,” Angelia Franke said.

About 125 Indian gaming casinos have paid for health care, housing and education. While gambling comes with its negatives, Ketchum was quick to say, “We won.”

EDWARDS, Dorothy Erika (nee Lipinski)

 It is with reverent sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Dorothy in her home surrounded by the love of her family on Friday, October 17, 2025, at the age of 65.

Loving wife of Patrick to which she described him as “my last of the Mohican. I know he’d do anything for me.” He did just that; unwavering fealty during her battle with cancer. Decades of love, partnership and adventure before that made for two strong warriors. Dorothy’s greatest pride were her children: the late Christopher, Jennifer, Adrienne, Teigan and bonus daughter the late Tina. Cherished grandmother of the late Kaylanna, George, Solomon and Aaliyah. 

Dorothy was born in Calgary, Alberta on December 21, 1959 and is the beloved daughter of Erika and the late George Lipinski. Devoted sister of Susan (Clive), Raymond (Cindy) and Larry (Pam). Sister-in-law of Katherine (Will). Dorothy was so grateful for her many nieces and nephews, and she shared special bonds with each. 

Those that knew Dorothy will remember her as an ethereal spirit; disarming, kind and endlessly nurturing. Multi-faceted in her talents may it be as a gardener, artistry with wood burning, strong steward of her land and of course her indelible cunning and Intuitiveness.  Dorothy will always be remembered for her warmth, sharp sense of humour, her love of nature and being ‘at camp.’ Her incomparable work ethic and her fierce love of family. 

We would like to extend our profound thank you to Dorothy’s palliative care team. To Dr. Booth for her compassion and Sierra for truly being a godsend.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages acts of kindness done in Dorothy’s memory, the way she lived every day of her life. Arrangements entrusted to Northwood Funeral Home Cremation and Reception…

Bollinger Celebrates Construction Of Usns Lenni Lenape (T-ATS 9) With Houma Keel Laying Ceremony

USNS Lenni Lenape is the sixth Bollinger-Built T-ATS

Houma, La. — Joined by senior U.S. Navy officials and more than 20 officials from the Lenape Nation at Bollinger Houma, Bollinger Shipyards (Bollinger) today officially laid the keel for the future USNS Lenni Lenape, the ninth Navajo-class Towing, Salvage, and Rescue Ship (T-ATS) and the sixth T-ATS vessel being constructed by Bollinger since acquiring the program in April of 2021.

“Bollinger is grateful for the Navy’s continued confidence in our team to build the Navajo-class Towing, Salvage and Rescue Ships,” said Ben Bordelon, President and CEO of Bollinger Shipyards. “The keel laying of the future USNS Lenni Lenape marks another significant milestone in our partnership, and we are honored to support the Navy’s fleet modernization efforts through the T-ATS program.”

The keel authenticators were the Hon. Susan Cade, Elder of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Hon. Deborah Dotson, Committee Member of the Delaware Nation, and the Hon. Shannon Holsey, President of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community.

Named to honor the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, the future USNS Lenni Lenape (T-ATS 9) will be the first naval vessel to carry the name of the Lenni Lenape tribe, which was the first tribe to sign a treaty with the United States in 1778.

The Navajo class provides ocean-going tug, salvage, and rescue capabilities to support fleet operations. T-ATS replaces and fulfills the capabilities that were previously provided by the Powhatan-class Fleet Ocean Tug (T-ATF 166) and Safeguard-class Rescue and Salvage Ships (T-ARS 50) class ships.

In addition to T-ATS 9, Bollinger is constructing USNS Navajo (T-ATS 6), USNS Cherokee Nation (T-ATS 7), USNS Saginaw Ojibwe Anishinabek (T-ATS 8), and USNS Muscogee Creek Nation (T-ATS 10).
