SEAFORD — Nanticoke Senior Center members are now coming to a facility that has a safer and more modern entrance.

Enhancement has come to the main entrance on Locust Street, through a $150,000 project supported by state Community Reinvestment funding spearheaded by Rep. Danny Short, R-Seaford, along with Sen. Bryant Richardson, R-Seaford, and Rep. Jesse Vanderwende, R-Bridgeville.

A ceremonial ribbon cutting was held Wednesday at the former Seaford Golf & Country Club that became the new home for the senior center in 2011.

“A lot of times it takes a team to get things done,” said Rep. Short. “We had a little trouble with a shortfall on this … so, Sen. Richardson and Rep. Vanderwende were contributors to help get this done. Both of them know a number of people that come here. Both saw the need.”

“It has taken a little bit of time to do, but I think we have got a quality project,” said Jim Bowden, senior center board of directors’ building committee chair. “We had people that would come in for the monthly trip — and trip. We have enhanced the front, which I think is ironic because this is a life enhancement center that we have here. We’re very happy to be able to have over 1,000 members on an annual basis.”

The renovation, undertaken by Keith Callaway of Callaway Corporation LLC, included a makeover of the entrance, with new steps, more staging space, new glass and doors, handicapped accommodations and new flooring in the vestibule area.

In 2010, the senior center board, along with the city of Seaford, decided that the former country club facility, built 83 years ago, would become the hub for senior citizens.

“In 2011 we moved in. It has been a blessing for the community,” Mr. Bowden said.

Caitlin Clark States Clear Goal For Fever Next Season

No Comments on Caitlin Clark States Clear Goal For Fever Next Season

Now that the Indiana Fever have been eliminated from the WNBA playoffs, fans will have to (most likely) wait until the spring to see superstar Caitlin Clark back on the court, playing regular season games.

Despite the Fever being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Connecticut Sun, there’s no question that this season was a success for them. Not only had Indiana not made the playoffs since 2016 before this year, but they’ve been perpetual bottom-dwellers in the WNBA standings for most of the time since that point.

But their elite young core now appears destined to turn Indiana into a championship contender in the coming years.

While winning a WNBA championship is an obvious goal for any WNBA player and franchise, Caitlin Clark made it clear that she has a more specific goal in mind for her Fever in 2025 during her end-of-season exit meeting on Friday.

“You got a taste of getting the playoffs, obviously we haven’t been there since 2016,” Clark said, per X user Ken Swift. “So I think that’s what the message was for us, is like, hey, great, we got the six-seed. Our goal was to get back to the playoffs. But we probably could have given ourselves a little bit better of a chance to try to get it to game three to give our fans an opportunity to cheer us on at home, and that’s kind of what stunk about it.

“But next year, we’re wanting to be a top-four seed,” Clark added. “We believe we can build this place into a championship contender. That’s what I believe. That’s why I’m going to do everything in my power to help this organization get there. But you’ve got to let it hurt you a little…

State Audit Reveals More Than $300,000 in Misappropriated Funds in Red Rock

A State Auditor and Inspector’s report shows hundreds of thousands of dollars were misappropriated in the Town of Red Rock.

The auditor says the office has seen an uptick in forensic audit requests for small towns.

Fewer than 300 people live in Red Rock, in Noble County.

From the beginning of 2019 to mid-2024, the state auditor and inspector’s office found about $336,000 was misappropriated from the town and the Public Works Authority.

State Auditor and Inspector Cindy Byrd says for a small town like Red Rock, the impact of losing the funds can be felt for years.

“A lot of our small cities and towns are struggling for revenue streams to just keep basic functions in operation, and whenever you have such a large misappropriation of funds as this, it could take a decade for this small town to get back on its feet,” Byrd said.

Among the findings, the audit shows the town’s former clerk and treasurer misappropriated more than $241,000 and the clerk’s spouse also received unlawful payments.

Byrd found, the town’s board members were also overpaid and another clerk misappropriated funds.

City Leaders Discuss Litigation Options For Mold Infested Norman Library

The Norman City Council held a closed-door session Tuesday night to discuss legal options related to the ongoing mold issues at the Norman Central Library.

The library has been closed since last November.

Documents show the building has had mold problems since 2018, months after construction began.

Officials are weighing potential litigation costs which could reach $200,000 according to estimates.

No public statements were made after the meeting.

The library’s reopening date remains uncertain.

No Comments on Caitlin Clark’s final game of rookie campaign marks another WNBA milestone

Caitlin Clark closed the chapter on her rookie campaign with more personal records and another viewership milestone for the WNBA.

Clark became the first rookie in playoff history with at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists in a single game, but it was not enough for the Indiana Fever to pull off a victory in Game 2 of their first round series against the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday night.

The Sun spoiled Clark’s playoff debut to capture the series and move on to the semifinals.

Despite the outcome, the game set a new milestone for women’s basketball in a year that was nothing short of historic.

According to ESPN Press Room, Game 2 marked the most-viewed WNBA game ever aired on cable – both regular season and playoffs. An average of 2.54 million viewers tuned in, a significant increase from the previous record set in Game 1 with an average of 1.8 million viewers that peaked at 2.2 million.

No Comments on Several Northern Oklahoma tribes awarded domestic violence assistance grants

The Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program allocated funding to tribes to decrease domestic violence incidents within the reservation and to provide support to tribes exercising sovereign authority over these crimes and the perpetrators.

The Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma received the largest amount under this fund, totaling at $1,169,642. Following that was the Eastern Shawnee Tribe at $793,463; the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma at $792,148; the Quapaw Nation at $600,000 and the Delaware Tribe of Indians at $282,632.

In addition to this, the 2024 Office for Victims of Crime Tribal Victim Services Program awarded funds to support victims’ needs through traditional and cultural services as identified by the tribes.

The Eastern Shawnee Tribe, the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, and the Osage Nation each received $441,989. The Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma also received $394,653; the Seneca Cayuga Tribe $254,413 and the Shawnee Tribe $229,973 respectively.

According to the DOJ, four out of five Native people have been or will be the victim of domestic violence in their lifetime.

A 2023 report from the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office shows Oklahoma has seen a steady increase in intimate partner related offenses and homicide. In the past four years, there have been over 100 victims of domestic violence related murders.

Oklahoma currently ranks third in the nation for intimate partner homicide, and number one for domestic violence offenses.
