Grand Erie Public Health has issued a boil water advisory for a village near Hagersville and an industrial section of Nanticoke that includes part of Stelco’s Lake Erie steelworks.

“Public  health has been advised of water samples that indicate the presence of  bacteria in the water,” the health unit said in a statement on Thursday.

The advisory covers White Oaks Village and the Nanticoke Business Park.

The  health unit recommends all affected water users switch to bottled water  or boil tap water for at least one minute before consuming for any  purpose, including drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, cooking or  preparing infant formula and juice.

White Oaks Village is a  123-acre property on Army Camp Road, southwest of Hagersville. During  the Second World War, the area was the site of a Royal Canadian Air  Force training school. Some of the military housing still standing when  the camp closed in the 1960s formed the basis of the present village.

More recently, the property has been beset by flooding, leaking waterlines, and disputes with the county over unpaid taxes and water bills.

The  health unit told The Spectator the boil water advisory also includes  the Hagersville Airport and Business Park beside White Oaks Village, and  the surrounding businesses.

Nanticoke  Business Park refers to businesses on Hawk Street and Field Road in  Nanticoke, plus some nearby businesses on Highway 3, the health unit  said.

The advisory includes a Stelco pickle line on Hawk Street, part of the steelmaker’s Lake Erie Works.

In total, 20 businesses and 36 homes are affected by the advisory, the health unit said.

More tips for safe water use during a boil water advisory can be found at hnhu.org/boilwateradvisory.

“The  advisory is expected to remain in place until two consecutive sets of  water quality test results confirm a return to normal…

WILKES-BARRE — A criminal case thought to be resolved may get new legs.

Robert Kowaleski, 39, through his attorney, Scott K. Hampton, filed a motion seeking to withdraw his guilty plea to charges of defiant trespass and criminal attempt to commit indecent assault. Kowaleski was sentenced July 17 by Luzerne County Judge Micheal T. Vough to six-to-23 months at the county correctional facility.

The charges filed by Nanticoke police alleged Kowaleski followed two women separate times into a restroom inside Weis Market at Weis Plaza on Dec. 29, 2024, and propositioned a female employee at Rite Aid Pharmacy in Nanticoke to join him in a restroom for sexual relations, according to court records.

In the motion requesting to withdraw his guilty plea, Kowaleski claims his earlier admittance of guilt was not voluntarily made. Kowaleski claimed in his motion he was “asking” the women for their consent to provide sexual favors as it says in the criminal complaint.

When Kowaleski was sentenced, he was ordered to register his address for 15 years under the state’s Sexual Offender Registration and Notification Act.

After the sentencing hearing, Assistant District Attorney Rachel Spivack on Aug. 25 filed a motion to vacate Kowaleski’s sentence and have him resentenced to include being deemed a sexually violent predator based on an evaluation from the state’s Sexual Offender Assessment Board.

The report from the Sexual Offender Assessment Board was not available when Kowaleski was sentenced July 17.

“…it is this board member’s professional opinion within a reasonable degree of professional certainty that Mr. Kowaleski does meet the criteria to be classified as a Sexually Violent Predator under Pennsylvania Law,” according to the SOAB report.

While the report says Kowaleski meets the criteria as a violent sexual predator, the decision is made by a Court of Common Pleas judge.

Vough scheduled…

For Jocelyn Reed, Thursday’s game against Nanticoke Area is an important game. It’s the Wyoming Valley conference opener for the Hanover Area field hockey team and they are playing their rival, Nanticoke Area.

It’s always an interesting game, regardless of the sport, when these two teams play one another. For as much as Jocelyn Reed wants to think of it as just another game, it’s not.

That’s because she will be experiencing one of those first-and-last scenarios. Yes, it’s the first game of the season. Here is where the last comes in. It will be the final time she will be coaching against one of her daughters. Kate Reed plays for Nanticoke Area, just like her older sister, Grace, now a senior at St. Francis did. And their mom coached against the both of them.

“My kids go to Nanticoke Area, I teach at Hanover Area,” Jocelyn said. “A lot of people take jobs to coach their children. It’s fun. We all have the understanding it’s the mother-daughter game. After the game if it does not go my way it does hurt because I want to win. They don’t rub it in if they beat me. I wouldn’t rub it in against them. There is no animosity. They know I’m coming for them.”

Easier said than done? Not for coach Reed. She wants to win. Just like Hanover Area wants to win. Just like Nanticoke Area and Kate Reed wants to win. It’s a game. It counts in the standings. Kate Reed will try her best to put her team in the best position to score. Jocelyn Reed will do what’s best for her team. Just like any other game with the exception that Kate Reed might be the one to get a ride home from the game from the…

HALDIMAND—All six of Haldimand’s ward councillors joined Mayor Shelley Ann Bentley and MPP Bobbi Ann Brady at this year’s Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in Ottawa from August 17 to 20.

OTTAWA—Mayor Shelley Ann Bentley, MPP Bobbi Ann Brady, and Councillor Brad Adams discussed critical infrastructure issues like the Argyle St. bridge with Transportation Minister Prabmeet Singh Sarkaria.

Brady took part in all six County delegations at the conference:

• Ministry of Health – more support needed for the development of an age-friendly Haldimand
• Ministry of Energy and Mines – opportunities to support Ontario’s clean energy goals
• Ministry of Economic Development and Job Creation – infrastructure needs for the employment lands in Nanticoke and Caledonia
• Ministry of Indigenous Affairs – the need for provincial direction in developing a meaningful, legally and culturally appropriate Indigenous consultation framework
• Ministry of Long Term Care – the expansion of Edgewater Gardens and the critical need for more LTC options
• Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services – the need for funding to address social service gaps in rural and Indigenous communities

Bentley said, “Attending AMO is an important opportunity to connect with provincial leaders and advocate for the needs and priorities of our residents. … Direct, face-to-face meetings help us build relationships, highlight important local issues, and work toward solutions that will improve the quality of life for everyone who calls Haldimand home.”

In a message to The Press afterwards, Brady said, “We were able to reiterate our desperation on having shovels in the ground at Edgewater Gardens and attempt to pinpoint why the project is not moving forward. Mayor Bentley and I were also able to sit down with Energy Minister Stephen Lecce to discuss the desire for an energy project in Nanticoke.”

The herby scent of smoke wafted across the small building, playground, parking lot and grassy grounds.

Ragghi Rain and Herman Jackson carried a turtle shell of gently burning embers to bless every corner of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe’s upcoming project: a major expansion of their longtime community center on Route 24.

Along with this ceremonial blessing on Aug. 25, the Nanticokes hosted a groundbreaking ceremony, with dignitaries and golden shovels. The current Nanticoke Indian Center will be renovated and enlarged to become the future Nanticoke Indian Cultural Community Center.

“This is an unbelievable moment for the Nanticoke Indian Tribe and the entire Millsboro community. Your presence here today not only honors our past, but also celebrates our future,” said historian Bonnie “She Who Cares” Hall, also slipping into the Algonquian language. “Waanishii: thank you for joining us on this momentous occasion.”

“Today we stand on sacred ground — not only in the physical sense, but in the spirit and the purpose,” said Assistant Chief Farrah Norwood Stigall. “This is more than a construction project, this is a powerful declaration of who we are and what we stand for. … This center will be a living tribute to the strength, resilience and the enduring legacy of the Nanticoke people.”

The Nanticokes have a long history of learning at the site. State-sponsored segregation prompted the Nanticokes to build their own Indian Mission School for grades 1 to 8 in the 1920s, rebuild after a 1940s fire, close it after 1960s integration and ultimately repurpose the small white building as a community center.

The current building is limited to 2,250 square feet, and soon it’ll more than double, to about 5,000 square feet. It will continue as a cultural center where elders teach, youngsters learn and play, drummers and dancers rehearse and leaders meet. But it’ll be more…
