Avedillo embracing role as Indian Museum curator

As the new curator of the Nanticoke Indian Museum near Millsboro, Therese Avedillo is “delighted to have the opportunity to preserve the history of the Nanticokes” and plans to take a holistic approach as she teaches visitors about the rich history of the tribe.

“I plan to apply my archaeological knowledge. I am very pleased to join the Nanticoke museum, and I’m interested in learning about the first people of our first state, working with the elders and serving,” said Avedillo, who lives in Millsboro with her husband, Mike.

She took over as museum curator on Monday, Feb. 24, to the delight of Nanticoke Chief Avery Johnson, who called her “a special individual.”

“She is very interested in our history,” he said. “She has a great personality. She fits in with us very well. We brought her in, and she spent a day with us and we spent the day with her, and it was just great. We never had anybody capable of doing what we need, or even knowing which direction to go.

“That museum — that’s a special place we have, and it needs to come into 2025. This will allow us to reach our goal of bringing in a professional curator, a full-time curator, which we never had in the history of that museum,” Johnson said.

Avedillo, who grew up in South Africa, said she often visited museums while she was growing up.

“That is where my interest in history and culture grew. I took up a background in television production in New York. I went to school at Syracuse University, then I went back to my interest in museum studies at the University of Leicester in England. I earned a master’s degree in museum studies,” she said.

She volunteered in London, including at the Postal Museum and Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archeology,…

Stanley F. Goliembeski

Stanley F. Goliembeski OBITUARY

Stanley F. Goliembeski, Sr., 91, of West Nanticoke section of Plymouth Township, passed away early Thursday morning, Jan. 9, 2014, at Birchwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Nanticoke, where he had been a patient since Nov. 15. He had been in declining health for the past two years.

Born and raised in the Honey Pot section of Nanticoke, he was a son of the late Frank and Katherine Pavetski Golumb. He was educated at the former Holy Trinity parochial school.

Mr. Goliembeski was a World War II veteran, having served with Company M, 39th Infantry in Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, Central Europe. He received the Purple Heart after being wounded on July 24, 1944, in France; he was also awarded the EAME Service Ribbon and the Good Conduct Medal.

He married the former Anna Sobotka in 1946 and shorty after they moved to her homestead in West Nanticoke to make their home.

Stanley retired in the mid-1970’s after 30 years of employment with the Glen Nan Coal Company, Alden, where he was a driller and dynamiter.

Stanley will be fondly remembered as an avid fisherman, especially at Lake Wallenpaupack. He liked to bake and cook for friends and people in the neighborhood, was an excellent handyman and always would lend a hand to anyone in need. He was a member of St. Faustina Kowalska Parish, Nanticoke, and a life-long member of Holy Trinity Church prior to the consolidation; American Legion Post #350, Nanticoke, and in earlier years had served as Secretary/Treasurer of United Mine Workers Local union.

Nanticoke man charged with stealing $26K from booster club

The former president of the Nanticoke varsity football booster club was charged Tuesday with stealing over $26,000 from the organization during his tenure, according to charges filed in court.

Sterling Kepp, 47, of 336 E. Broad St., Nanticoke, is facing a single felony count of theft alleging he drained all but about $222 from the account of the booster club, which is formally known as the Nanticoke 12th Man Football Club.

According to the complaint, Wendy Graves reported having difficulty getting information about the club’s PNC Bank account when she was appointed club treasurer in August 2023.

Despite repeated inquiries about the banking information, Kepp failed to provide her the information she needed to view the online account, police said.

In October 2023, Graves went to the bank to make a deposit and inquired about the account balance, learning that only about $222 remained, according to the complaint.

After discovering a substantial amount of missing money, Graves contacted Kepp to ask if he had any outstanding checks waiting to be deposited.

Kepp replied that he knew he owed money to the club and promised to “make it right,” according to the charges.

Graves then contacted Superintendent Ronald Grevera, and they reported the missing money to police.

During a review of the books, investigators discovered that there were “undocumented currency disbursements” totaling $26,543 from the account, according to the complaint.

Police say Kepp had handled all financial responsibilities for the club during the period when the money went missing.

As a result, he was charged with the single felony count of theft.

Magisterial District Judge Alexandra Kokura Kravitz arraigned Kepp on the charges Tuesday morning and released him on $50,000 unsecured bail.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for March 12.

GIRLS WRESTLING: District 2 sends nine to states from Central Regional

MILTON – For Gia Silva, Saturday was like a redemption tour.

The Wallenpaupack sophomore was one spot away from Hershey last year, finishing fifth at the PIAA Girls’ Wrestling Central Regional.

This year, she made sure her ticket to the Giant Center wouldn’t hinge on a run through the consolation round.

She rolled through the championship bracket to earn second place as one of nine District 2 wrestlers who are headed to the Giant Center next weekend. Joining Silva are Honesdale’s Saige Olver (118), Maddison Miller (142) and Jaidyn Mikulak (285), Nanticoke Area’s Emily Kivler (112) and Sierra Ripka (170), Wyoming Valley West’s Bella Seip (118), Delaware Valley’s Kate Prior (155) and Crestwood’s Samara Bailey (285).

Sometimes, emotions play a big part in wrestling. For Silva, it was falling one spot short in last year’s regional, and bouncing back from a tough loss to Kivler in last week’s District 2 112-pound Championship.

She went back to work this week with one thought on her mind: Don’t fall one spot short this year.

“It’s pretty exciting because I have been waiting for this since last season,” Silva said. “This was like a comeback for me. Last week’s loss, you just have to leave it in the past. You can’t focus on it because you aren’t going to get anywhere if you do that. You just have to wrestle hard.”

She opened up with a 15-6 win over Milton’s Louise Cromley, and followed it up by pinning Bald Eagle Area’s Addison Tice in the quarters. She punched her ticket in a heart-pounding semifinal where she led Punxsutawney’s Evelynn Neale, 7-0, before giving up a late, seven-point move to tie the match at 7-7.

In overtime, she scored the bout-clinching takedown with 22 seconds left.

“I got kind of caught in that one move where she got some back points on me,”…

Road Closures and Crash Risks in Nanticoke

Crashes in busy areas like West Main Street can create significant traffic delays and safety concerns. Intersections and commercial areas often see increased accident risks due to congestion, frequent stops, and turning vehicles.

Accidents that result in road closures indicate the severity of the crash, as emergency crews must ensure safe traffic flow while providing aid to those involved. Injured victims may face medical challenges that require treatment and recovery time, leading to financial burdens from medical bills and lost income.
