Hopewell earthworks site in Butler County still a mystery. Tours could offer answers.

Fortified Hill are hilltop enclosure earthworks built by Indigenous people thousands of years ago in what is now Ross Township, Butler County.

Soon, the public will have the opportunity to experience the architectural genius of the Hopewell culture through limited 90-minute tours.

There’s a lot of mystery around it, but we definitely want to bring the people out to appreciate the past that’s right here in our area,” said Stephen Smith, associate director of education and programming at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park.

The tours are offered through the adjacent Pyramid Hill park. They’re starting this weekend and will be offered on a monthly basis through November.

A monumental site that’s weathered many changes

Fortified Hill is 40 acres, according to park officials. It was once at risk of development when the property went up for public auction in 2019. But it was saved after the Harry T. Wilks Family Foundation acquired the property and gifted it to the park.

It’s taken six years for the site to be restored, said Pyramid Hill’s executive director Sarah Templeton Wilson.

“During that time period, we were still working with community partners, we’re still inviting in experts but we wanted to make sure we did this right because unfortunately there’s been so many people that have done it wrong over the years and a lot of times we’re dealing with past choices on other properties,” Templeton Wilson said. “So we want to learn from those choices and make sure we made ours to the best of our abilities.”

Jeff Leipzig, a nearby resident of the site, was the one that first made calls to try to find an…

High school students in Luzerne Co. can now get a free skilled trade diploma

Thanks to a $1,000,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, students can complete the program at no cost until the end of the 2027 school year.

NANTICOKE, Pa. — Starting this fall, some students in Luzerne County will have the opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma on one hand and a college diploma on the other. 

“We’re here today to celebrate the creation of the new Luzerne County Community College Career & Technology Academy,” says John Yudichak, President of LCCC.

The academy is based at LCCC’s campus in Nanticoke. The program offers students a 17-credit diploma for careers including welding, electrical technology, HVAC, plumbing, culinary arts, and early childhood education.

The first students in the two-year program will not pay anything thanks to grants from the state and scholarships funded by local business owner Bill Rinaldi. 

“To me, the most important thing is for a young man is to get educated and have an opportunity. Opportunities at high-paying jobs are not common like they were,” says Rinaldi.

“We recognize we need to build that skilled workforce here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Bill wanted to give back to the community. He wanted to give back to the college, and most importantly, he wanted to invest in the economy in Northeastern PA,” says Yudichak. 

Bill Feist owns the welding company J&E Sheet Metal in Wilkes-Barre. He’s experienced a shortage of skilled workers in recent years and thinks this program will help fill the gap. 

“I mean, without the skilled trades, without skilled employees, stuff like this, you can’t have schools. You can’t have buildings. You can’t have hospitals. It’s a high demand right now,” says Feist.

While the Career and Technology Academy will initially focus on students from the Wilkes-Barre CTC, West Side CTC, and Hazleton CTC,…

Controversial Bill 5 sparks protests and criticism from Brady and First Nations

Haldimand-Norfolk MPP Bobbi Ann Brady is raising alarms about transparency and accountability at Queen’s Park, directly challenging Premier Doug Ford over what she sees as a dangerous pattern of broken promises and undemocratic governance under Bill 5.

Citing recent developments in Dresden, where the government reversed its commitment to an environmental assessment (EA) on a landfill site, Brady warned that constituents in Haldimand-Norfolk are watching closely—and growing wary of what’s next for the Nanticoke area.

Brady’s concerns come amid escalating controversy over Bill 5, a sweeping piece of legislation the Ford government is fast-tracking before the summer break.

The bill gives cabinet the authority to suspend provincial and municipal laws for select projects in designated “Special Economic Zones” and allows exemptions from consultation with Indigenous communities. Critics argue it also weakens environmental protections, including for endangered species.

First Nations leaders and environmental advocates have condemned the bill, with several hundred protesters gathering at Queen’s Park yesterday (Monday) chanting “Kill Bill 5” and calling for the legislation to be withdrawn. Many First Nations groups say the bill disregards their rights and bypasses any notion of partnership or consultation.

While Environment Minister Andrea Khanjin told the legislature that the Dresden site would still require an environmental approval, Brady questioned why the EA exemption remained in the legislation.

The NDP and Liberals attempted to delay Bill 5’s progress last week during committee hearings by using procedural tools, arguing the bill deserves more scrutiny.

Despite that, Government House Leader Steve Clark has moved to limit debate further, allowing just one hour of discussion before a final vote at third reading.

Several other bills are also being expedited with minimal or no committee hearings—some receiving just 30 minutes of third-reading debate in total.

Opposition parties have slammed the move, calling it undemocratic and a…

Lenape Valley stuns second-seeded Wallington in N1,G2 first round

Paige Henriksen pitched a complete game with six strikeouts as 15th-seeded Lenape Valley stunned second-seeded Wallington, 5-4, in the first round of the North 1, Group 1 tournament in Wallington.

The Patriots (6-14) collected 12 hits and took advantage of four Wallington errors to secure their first state tournament victory since 2019.

Lenape Valley broke through in the second inning, scoring three runs to take an early lead. Callie Stevenson delivered a key hit during the rally, part of her 2-for-4 day that included a double and two RBI.

Wallington (18-9) responded with a run in the third inning, but Lenape Valley extended its lead to 5-1 with two more runs in the fifth. Michaela Dennehy went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI, while Ava Hosonitz finished 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Patriots.

The Panthers mounted a comeback in the bottom of the fifth, scoring three runs to cut the deficit to 5-4. Emely Campos led Wallington’s offense, going 2-for-4 with two RBI, while Morgan Gurdak added an RBI hit and drew a walk.

Henriksen shut down the Panthers in the final two innings to preserve the victory. The right-hander scattered seven hits while walking just two batters in her complete-game effort.

Despite a strong pitching performance from Delilah Tabaka, who struck out nine Patriots over seven innings with only one walk, Wallington couldn’t overcome its defensive miscues. The Panthers stranded 10 runners on base throughout the game.

With the upset victory, Lenape Valley advances to face 10th-seeded Hawthorne in the quarterfinals.
