Nanticoke City Municipal Building

NANTICOKE — The developer of a proposed affordable housing project in the city has withdrawn its application and the matter will not be discussed at tonight’s zoning hearing board meeting, according to board solicitor Mark McNealis.

McNealis said the board received a letter about two weeks ago from developer Housing Visions withdrawing its application for the proposed apartment complex, which would have been built in a wooded area of the Hanover section of the city at the intersection of Espy and Bliss streets.

The project included four 12-unit apartment buildings with 97 parking spaces, as well as a maintenance shop, community building and playground.

McNealis said he was unsure of the reasoning for the developer withdrawing the application and did not know whether Housing Visions planned to resubmit at a later date.

Efforts to reach representatives for Housing Visions were not immediately successful.

The zoning hearing board was scheduled to vote on the housing project at Thursday’s meeting,which was initially supposed to take place at the March 26 meeting, but the board felt the submitted application “did not appear to be together” and lacked crucial information such as building dimensions as well as the entrances and exits to and from the property.

The hearing was rescheduled for more than a month later in order to give the applicant enough time to prepare and submit a new plan to the zoning officer.

A March 19 post on the city’s Facebook page announcing the project and its potential tax benefits was met with much opposition from residents.

A petition opposing the development project circulated online, with residents raising concerns about…

No Comments on Tribe’s language featured at Nanticoke Heritage Day

‘Once It Has Been Spoken … It Cannot Be Unspoken,’ a book about the Nanticoke language, was featured at the recent Nanticoke Heritage Day.

Coastal Point • Submitted

Copies of the new book about the Nanticoke language “Once It Has Been Spoken … It Cannot be Unspoken” were selling well at the recent Nanticoke Heritage Day, where co-author Keith Cunningham spoke to an audience gathered in a grassy area at the Nanticoke Indian Museum near Millsboro.

Presented in an easy-to-understand format, with a turtle cartoon character drawn by illustrator Paige McNatt narrating, the book explains how to pronounce common words in the Nanticoke language:

• “I am Nanticoke,” written as “Wunantuko nii” and pronounced as “we NAN took-oh nee”

• “I am from Millsboro,” written as “Millsboro noonjiiyayi” and pronounced “MILLS-boro known-JEE-ya-yee;” and

• “It is good to see you my friend,” written as “Wuliikun naawul niitaap” and pronounced as “Wu-LEE-kun NAH-wul NEE-tahp.”

The book, costing $24.99, available at www.amazon.com and containing a CD, includes the poignant Tecumseh Prayer, “When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself,” with each line written in Nanticoke, along with the pronunciations.

“Soohkwutahas” is the word for succotash and is pronounced “SOH-kwuh-tuh-hus.

“Salaapw” is the word for frybread, and it’s pronounced “sa-LAP-w.”

In Nanticoke, “I like to eat succotash and frybread” is “Nuwiinkiitaam soohkwutahas waak salaapw” and is pronounced “nuh-win-KEY-tahm SOH-kwuh-tuh-hus wok sa-LAP-w.”

“The lessons contained in this book provide a new voice for words spoken by your ancestors more than two centuries ago,” Cunningham wrote in the “Message from Our Linguist” in the book. “It is your birthright as…

President Joe Biden speaks at the Scranton Cultural Center last month. A Nanticoke man has been accused of threatening to kill Biden ahead of his visit.

A Luzerne County man threatened to kill President Joe Biden and his cabinet in an online video, then stole a $20 bag of coffee from a local cafe the day before a presidential visit to Scranton, according to court documents.

Jordan D. Gee, 37, was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on charges of threats against the president, officials with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said.

Luzerne County Division Of Corrections

Jordan D. Gee, 37, Nanticoke, is facing local and federal charges for incidents on April 15.

Gee, of Nanticoke, said he would inflict bodily harm on Biden in the video posted shortly before Biden’s April 16 campaign stop in Scranton. He told Biden to “stay out of his city,” and threatened to cut the president’s head off “in front of everybody,” according to the indictment. He also threatened to kill the mayors of Kingston and Wilkes-Barre in the video, the document states.

In a separate case, Gee was arrested by Nanticoke Police on the morning of April 15, according to a criminal affidavit.

Around 11:30 a.m., Nanticoke police were dispatched for a report of a disorderly male. Officers say he stole a bag of…
