Luzerne County culinary camp to cultivate future chefs

No Comments on Luzerne County culinary camp to cultivate future chefs

At the LCCC annual culinary camp, the kid chefs learn to make everything from scratch.

NANTICOKE, Pa. — Some students on summer vacation have traded in their video games and skateboards for saute pans and cutting boards.

Students were inside Luzerne County Community College’s Joseph A. Paglianite Culinary Institute for its annual Kids’ Culinary Camp.

“It teaches kids how to cook and can give them a future if they like because they can know how to cool,” student Chase Glahn of Dallas said.

“What we’re doing is we are really honing in on all of those culinary concepts. So it’s what’s out there right now, you know, amongst all the chefs on the Food Network.

“We’re really working on that flavor fusion, but we’re also working on implementing the cooking methods to go along with each dish that we’re making,” Kimberly McLendon, culinary arts instructor, said.

Organizers with the camp said it’s grown over the years, and this year, many campers have returned from last year to continue honing their culinary skills.

“It’s so fun. I love it here,” student Lauren Hudak of Mountain Top said.

“Because they asked us ‘what do we want to make,’ and I said sushi because I love sushi,” student Ben Field of Kingston said.

“So this week, we are making cream puffs, eclairs. Everything is going to be from scratch. We’re making their own pastry cream. We are doing a beef brisket. So we’re going to learn the art of smoking meats and vegetables,” McLendon said.

The culinary camp continues until Friday in Nanticoke.

Fishing tournament set to combat two invasive species in local waterways

No Comments on Fishing tournament set to combat two invasive species in local waterways

SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury University biological officials are set to hold a local fishing tournament aimed exclusively at two species of invasive fish that experts say are damaging local waterways and ecosystems.

Dr. Noah Bressman, Salisbury University assistant professor of biological studies, and graduate assistant Zachary Crum are combating invasive species in local waterways, and Eastern Shore anglers can help.

Fishing hobbyists and professionals alike are invited to the Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Tournament, presented by SU Saturday, July 30 (rain date: Sunday, July 31) at Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown, MD. Lines in at 6 a.m. and weigh-in at 2 p.m., followed by awards and data collection.

The two invasive species are blue catfish and northern snakehead fish, which officials say are damaging local ecosystems and waterways, and need to be studied further in an effort to combat their growing populations across the region.

Thanks to a grant from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the free tournament features some $2,000 in prizes. All blue catfish and northern snakeheads caught will be provided to Bressman’s lab to continue research to learn more about their effects on the local ecosystem, with a focus on diet, growth speed, and reproduction rates.

“The blue catfish are particularly nasty in that they make up in some tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, up to three-quarters of the biomass of the river, so what that means is if you were to take a net and scoop out every living thing, even the microscopic things out of the water, and weigh it all, catfish would make up to three-quarters of that weight,” Dr. Bressman explained. “And so far in our research we’ve been seeing everything from striped bass, to blue crabs, and even adult ducks in their stomach, and so it shows that they…

SALISBURY, Md.- Dr. Noah Bressman, Salisbury University assistant professor of biological studies, and graduate assistant Zachary Crum are combating invasive species in local waterways, and Eastern Shore anglers can help.

Fishing hobbyists and professionals alike are invited to the Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Tournament, presented by SU on Saturday, July 30 (rain date: Sunday, July 31) at Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown, Md. Lines in at 6 a.m. and weigh-in at 2 p.m., followed by awards and data collection.

All blue catfish and northern snakeheads caught will be provided to Bressman’s lab to continue research to learn more about their effects on the local ecosystem, with a focus on diet, growth speed, and reproduction rates.

“We really want to spread awareness in local waterway communities about what fish are invasive, and how they can minimize the population to relieve some pressure from striped bass and blue crabs, whose populations are on the decline,” said Bressman.

Tournament fishing is permitted at Cherry Beach Park for shore-based anglers. Those fishing from kayaks or boats may use any boat launch along the Nanticoke and tributaries such as Marshyhope Creek and Barren Creek. Maryland or Delaware tidal fishing licenses are required for all participants, respective to their fishing location.

The event is hook and line only and does not include a bow fishing category. Limited fishing gear will be available for those who may not have their own supplies.

Though invasive species like blue catfish and snakeheads have developed a stigma due to the harm they can cause for native species, that does not mean they are unfit for consumption, Bressman said.

“It’s important for anglers to know these species should not be released, and we want to bring awareness to the…

Luzerne County Council approves infrastructure loan guarantee

Post author By jeff

No Comments on Luzerne County Council approves infrastructure loan guarantee

After extensive discussion Tuesday, a Luzerne County Council majority agreed to guarantee a new infrastructure loan currently estimated at $51 million because all proceeds will be used to address county-owned roads and bridges.

Replacement of the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge over the Susquehanna River, currently estimated at $45 million, is stated as a project to be funded, although county officials will have flexibility if they deem other projects a higher priority, officials said.

In other business, a council majority chose to retain real estate agent Lori Spencer and Classic Properties to market and seek buyers for a county-owned residence in West Pittston and possibly other properties no longer needed by the county.

Councilman Kevin Lescavage, Spencer’s boyfriend, abstained from the discussion and vote.

Loan guarantee

The loan is possible because new state legislation customized solely for the county redirects $3 million annually for 25 years from the casino-gambling Local Share Account (LSA) to create an infrastructure fund.

The way it is set up, the county Redevelopment Authority must borrow to create the fund and then repay the debt using the annual $3 million LSA earmark.

However, the county is involved because financial institutions want assurance the county would repay the debt if the Mohegan Sun Pocono casino in Plains Township unexpectedly closes down the road.

The legislation leaves it up to the county redevelopment authority to recommend projects that should be funded, with final award approval by the Commonwealth Finance Authority — a state entity that already approves other LSA awards that are not part of this special program.

To address county council concerns about the guarantee, a memorandum of understanding between the county and redevelopment authority approved Tuesday allows council to decide which projects the authority submits to the Commonwealth Finance Authority.
