Controversial development plans in Nanticoke will shape future of Haldimand County

Would creating a lakeside city inside an industrial park be Haldimand County’s folly — or its salvation?

Empire Communities sparked a passionate debate about the future of the rural county when the developers approached Haldimand council last year with a plan to build some 15,000 homes and light industry on 4,200 acres of industrial land surrounding Stelco’s Nanticoke steelworks.

The expanded town of Nanticoke would sit just west of an oil refinery and the site of a since-demolished coal-fired power plant.

Empire’s proposal to house 40,000 new residents in a “provincially significant employment zone” — areas designated by the province for industrial development and declared unsuitable for housing — would almost double the county’s population and turn the village of Nanticoke into the largest community in Haldimand.

In advertising for the project, dubbed Your Nanticoke, Empire promises a “bright future” that includes 110 acres of publicly accessible waterfront, recreational facilities such as an indoor pool, a park and trail network, 2,000 affordable housing units “for young families” and a new sewage treatment plant.

All of this without a tax increase, the company says, and with the creation of more than 10,000 jobs.

Proponents of Empire’s plan say Haldimand cannot afford to reject the opportunity to add much-needed water treatment infrastructure on the developer’s dime while finding a new use for industrial lands that have sat empty for decades.

Haldimand municipal councillor Stewart Patterson, whose ward includes Nanticoke, says the positives of Empire's proposal, particularly a promised $100 million toward a new wastewater treatment plant, outweigh the negatives.

“My feeling is the positives far outweigh any negatives that could be,” Haldimand councillor Stewart Patterson, whose ward includes Nanticoke, told The Spectator.

“There are going to be some bumps in the road, but the big thing is the added infrastructure that there’s no…

Maryland is making more outdoor space accessible to more people

Governor Wes Moore recently unveiled a new summer tourism campaign for Maryland – “You’re Welcome” – to welcome visitors to experience our great state’s spectacular natural beauty. 

Most people are familiar with our vast Maryland state park system, but did you know that great hiking, biking, birdwatching, camping, water access, and other recreational opportunities are found in our state forests, wildlife management areas, and other lesser-visited public lands? If you really do want to get away from it all, I encourage you to check out the array of natural areas managed by the Department of Natural Resources.

For example, visitors to the Nanticoke Wildlife Management Area on Maryland’s Eastern Shore can spot nesting bald eagles and osprey diving for fish. The mostly undeveloped Nanticoke River’s coastline offers paddlers a chance to try to spot diamondback terrapins, beavers, and otters while exploring long-established marshland. Visitors who head to Maryland’s western panhandle should consider exploring Dan’s Mountain Wildlife Management Area, the largest state forest, where dense woods have created prime habitat for forest songbirds. The area was designated as a State Significant Bird Area by the National Audubon Society and is home to other animals such as bobcats, black bears, and coyotes.   

We continue to partner with land trusts and local communities to expand access to these important natural areas, as we did recently by purchasing a former golf club in Worcester County to expand recreational opportunities in the state’s Chesapeake Forest lands.

But there is much more than state lands to visit. The Moore-Miller administration is committed to assuring that all Marylanders have access to healthy outdoor recreation and green…

Former Luzerne Borough man sentenced for firearm straw purchases

Jul. 11—WILKES-BARRE — A former Luzerne Borough man who solicited a woman to purchase firearms that were reported missing from the evidence locker room at the Luzerne Borough Police Department was sentenced in Luzerne County Court Tuesday.

President Judge Michael T. Vough sentenced Donald Myles Cool, 27, to two-to-four years in state prison on three counts of criminal solicitation to commit false written statements on firearm applications. Cool pled guilty to the charges Feb. 6.

Cool’s sentence imposed by Vough will begin once he completes a two-to-four year stint on similar offenses in Monroe County.

Court records say Cool solicited Elizabeth Ann Delong, 38, to purchase 19 firearms from licensed firearm dealers in Nanticoke and Wyoming in 2020.

Cool is a convicted felon prohibited from owning, carrying and possessing firearms, court records say.

Cool was arrested by Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department on March 3, 2021, on charges of illegally possessing firearms.

The investigation in Monroe County revealed Cool received the firearms that were purchased by Delong who lived with him on Vaughn Street.

Luzerne Borough police reportedly seized the illegally purchased firearms from the apartment of Cool and Delong in 2021.

As the investigation continued, county detectives working with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives executed a search warrant at the Luzerne Borough Police Department in early June 2022, seeking 17 firearms.

None were seized by detectives and agents, according to an inventory receipt with the search warrant.

District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce could not be reached for comment to determine if the firearms were found.

Delong pled guilty to criminal conspiracy to illegally possess a firearm and was sentenced on Nov. 28, to one year probation.

Despite an argument presented by Karisa M. Nanticoke’s lawyer for her to remain in the community under house arrest, Justice Kathleen Baker would not agree and, instead, sent Nanticoke to prison for five years.

“There was a substantial quantity of just about the worst drug on the market that’s leaving a trail of death and destruction in this community,” Baker said.

“Fentanyl trafficking and addiction is causing substantial problems here in the Brantford community where we have one of the highest rates of hospitalizations and overdoses in the province, and indeed, in the country.”

The judge said that means the “moral culpability” of anyone trafficking in fentanyl is very high.

Nanticoke was one of seven people arrested on Jan. 6, 2021 by Six Nations Police during a raid at a Pine Crescent home in Ohsweken.

28th annual Nanticoke Riverfest returns to downtown Seaford, economic boost for business community

SEAFORD, Del.- “We’re very proud of our town, proud of our history, and proud of where we’re headed. This is a big day for us,” Mayor Genshaw said.

Saturday was a celebration of the Nanticoke River along with food, games, and a variety of vendors as the annual Nanticoke Riverfest made a big return to downtown Seaford. “You’ll see as you walk downtown that there are local businesses inside and outside the city limits as well as local personnel selling their own crafts and offerings,” Nanticoke Riverfest Chairwoman Katie Hickey said.

Hickey says what makes this event special is that its 100% locally driven. “All of our entertainment is actually local bands, we get local entertainment for our children’s area, and all of our vendors we try to support locally,” Hickey said.

Seaford Mayor David Genshaw says with the extra foot traffic in town, the event is also an opportunity to showcase all the new things Seaford has to offer. “Today, some people are seeing shops that they may not have known existed. It a great place for our local shop owners to get out and mingle with the crowd and invite them in,” Mayor Genshaw said.

Now in its 28th year, organizers say it takes quite the manpower to make this event possible. “This isn’t run by city government, this is volunteers. Our fire department is out here,  police department, elected and city employees, our downtown association, and then people come from all over the place,” Mayor Genshaw said.

“We love seeing people come out. People are very excited to come down and it’s just grown ever since,” Hickey said.

Seaford High School students also got the opportunity to participate in the Race-A-Cop competition for a chance to win a scholarship.
