Every year around this time, the Little League All-Star circuit begins, and it’s generally a safe bet that the District 3 softball titles will come through Lower Sussex Little League.

Such was the case on Monday, June 28, when the LSLL Senior League girls swept their way to yet another district championship with wins over Nanticoke/Laurel by scores of 12-1 and 15-3.

Megan Daisey picked up the win in the circle for the first game, and Kinsley Hall was victorious in Game 2. Neither struggled to stay ahead of the N/L hitters from start to finish.

Offensively, LSLL banged out 14 hits in Game 1, with Laniya Lewis and Jaya Shaub the big blows as each slammed home runs over the outfield fence. Shaub’s solo blast was the lone run scored for the locals in the third inning. Lewis drove her shot high and deep into the trees in center field for a three-run bomb in the fourth.

Hall went 3-for-3 in the game, with three singles and three runs scored. Shaub finished up the game 3-for-4, with a pair of singles in addition to her home run and scored three runs. Logan Marvel was 3-for-4, with two singles and a double.

In the nightcap, Hall did it from the circle and at the dish, helping her own cause going 4-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run, in addition to her three singles and four runs scored. Izzy Wade also scored four runs for the winners and finished 3-for-4, with a double and two singles. Shaub once again swung a big bat, going 4-for-5…

The Nanticoke Indian Powwow is moving to Hudson Fields in Lewes for its 43rd year.

Held off Route 24 in Millsboro until now, the event celebrates the unique cultural traditions of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe. It attracts thousands of people annually, including many other East Coast tribes.

“It’s a time the Nanticoke tribe or any tribal community celebrates heritage, comes together as a renewing and refreshing of our spirits, remembers our ancestors,” said Chief Natosha Harmon Carmine. “We’re also teaching our children our culture and our traditions and sharing them with the public at large.”

Carmine is the first female chief of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe, beginning her tenure in 2016. She said they planned to move the powwow to Hudson Fields last year for “exposure and accessibility” purposes, but the event was canceled due to COVID-19.

HISTORY: Nanticoke Indians once owned the land around Cypress Swamps

The Nanticoke Indian Tribe is one of two state-recognized Native American tribal communities, along with the Kent County-based Lenni Lenape.

There were about 200 Nanticoke warriors living with their families along the Nanticoke River in when it was sailed by Capt. John Smith in 1608, according to the tribe’s website. The Nanticokes eventually dispersed after European colonization, but a number of them moved east and settled near on the Indian River near Millsboro.

Today, about 500 Nanticokes reside in Sussex County, the website says.

Nanticoke — Without comment, both before and after the Thursday’s monthly meeting, the Greater Nanticoke Regional Board of Education voted 8-0 to ask member Matthewland Messer to resign. The board also approved a final 2021-2 budget that would raise taxes by up to 4.5% in the state, but keep most of the $ 2.2 million fund balance intact.

Landmesser missed multiple consecutive meetings, Has dealt with police accusations of invasion privacy.. State school law allows the school board to remove members who were absent from two consecutive meetings, but there are exceptions that obscure the matter, said district solicitor Vito De Luca after the meeting. I said in. The code looks clear, but there was a state Supreme Court ruling that created a gray area as to why people were absent from the meeting.

If Landmesser agrees to resign, the board has the option of appointing a replacement to meet his term. But DeLuca didn’t say what the board’s options would be if it didn’t resign.

The final budget will maintain the 4.5% property tax hike that was in the final budget approved last month and raise the tax rate to 12.4473 mils. Gristmills are taxed at $ 1,000 or $ 1 for each assessed asset value.

The final budget differs from the proposed budget in one important way. It is the amount of reserves spent to balance income and expenses. Business consultant Tom Melone said the district found a variety of savings in supply purchases, medical expenses and elsewhere, combined with additional revenue from federal subsidies, with a balance of approximately $ 2.2 million.

Conclusion: The $ 34.8 million spending plan requires only about $ 197,463 from reserves, and most of the cash balance could remain intact by the end of the…

One of the Chesapeake Bay’s most pristine rivers has a new park for all to enjoy. Nanticoke Crossing Park opened earlier this month outside Seaford, Del.

Sussex County Land Trust and Chesapeake Conservancy partnered on the newly-named 41-acre park. It includes 29 acres of forest, open areas, and 1,900 feet of shoreline with freshwater tidal wetland plants. The partners say it allows for direct access to the Nanticoke River through an old lagoon that will be revitalized for the public to use.

The preservation of the park site provides more access to the Chesapeake National Historic Trail. Captain John Smith explored the Nanticoke in 1608, encountering the Nanticoke Indians, who had lived there for thousands of years.

It also means that the fourth and final corner surrounding the 1740s Woodland Ferry is now protected. One of the nation’s oldest operating ferries, the ferry has carried passengers across the Nanticoke since 1743 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

It took help from the Mt. Cuba Center and even cooperation by the U.S. Navy to allow the conservancy and the land trust to purchase and preserve the parkland in Woodland.

Nanticoke Crossing Park is just one of the ways Chesapeake Conservancy is working to protect the river—in fact, the nonprofit says the Nanticoke is now 33 percent protected. The new park is just downstream from Oyster House Park in Seaford, which the conservancy is also helping to build.

“The Nanticoke River Watershed is now one of the East coast’s best examples of how to achieve President Biden’s intentions in the America the Beautiful initiative to conserve 30% of lands and waters in the United States by 2030,” says President and CEO Joel Dunn.

In the meantime, plans are underway to further promote Nanticoke Crossing Park as a site for local and regional recreation for water access, hiking, and…

Delaware’s conservation leadership on the Nanticoke River is a good model for President Biden’s 30 percent by 2030 conservation initiative.

In Executive Order 14008 on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, President Biden set a national goal for land conservation: conserve 30 percent of the nation’s lands and waters by 2030. The intent of this goal is to protect one important aspect of what makes our nation so wonderful: its natural beauty, its wildlife, and the natural resources that sustain nature and the American people. 

This is an ambitious but timely proposal, especially considering the current estimate that just 12 percent of lands in the United States have some level of protection against development. 

Achieving this national 30 by 30 conservation goal to protect America’s nature and wildlife requires us to think and act locally, and to forge partnerships in the community and across government. For a good model to guide his initiative, President Biden need not look further than his own backyard, to the Nanticoke River watershed located in Delaware and Maryland which today is 33 percent protected. 

Considering its natural beauty and largely undeveloped waterfront, the Nanticoke River is one of the most pristine rivers of the entire Chesapeake Bay. Many stretches of the river appear today as they did during the pre-colonial era. 

The Nanticoke River supports abundant fisheries, and the region is also home to the highest concentration of bald eagles in the northeastern United States. 

Take a paddle down river and look just behind the trees – there’s a flurry of activity working to protect the Nanticoke River. Conservation groups, along with the State of Delaware, local governments, the Department of Defense and private philanthropies are working together to ensure that the Nanticoke River watershed remains a natural treasure.

On June 7, Chesapeake…

While there’s no way to 100 percent deter car break-ins, there are some steps that you can take to make your vehicle a much less appealing target.

First responders have recovered the body of a Seaford man who drowned in the Nanticoke River, Maryland State Police said.

A Maryland Natural Resources Police helicopter patrolling the area of Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown located 53-year-old John Davis around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday. Police said his body was found in the Nanticoke River about a quarter of a mile from where he was last seen over the weekend.

Troopers from the Salisbury Barrack were called to Cherry Beach Park shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday for a report of a possible drowning.

They arrived to find Maryland Natural Resources Police and the Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department conducting dive operations and searching via boat for Davis.

Suprum

Listen to this

HANOVER TWP. — Township police say they charged a Nanticoke man with stabbing another person on Lee Park Avenue last week.

Nicholas Suprum, 20, last known address as West Green Street, is facing charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment, harassment, disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and underage consumption of alcohol, police said.

Suprum has not been arraigned on the charges as of Tuesday morning.

Last week, township police Chief Al Walker said the incident was a domestic dispute at a residence in Lee Park resulting in the assault outside a store on June 15. The victim, whose name was not released, was treated for several lacerations.

Police said Suprum was recently jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $150,000 bail on a separate incident.

The separate incident involves allegations from Suprum’s ex-girlfriend on May 29 claiming he sent her several text messages threatening to kill her and repeatedly contacted her in violation of a protection-from abuse order. Suprum’s ex-girlfriend resides in the Lee Park area.

Court records say Suprum was arrested by police in February 2019 after he assaulted his ex-girlfriend in an incident captured by a surveillance camera on Woodbury Street in Lee Park.

Footage showed Suprum grabbing he girl, throwing her to the ground and dragging her away only to show the girl running and being chased by Suprum, court records say.

Suprum pleaded guilty to simple assault and was sentenced Oct. 25, 2019, by President Judge Michael T. Vough to one-month to 23 months served at the county correctional facility. Prosecutors withdrew several charges against Suprum in a plea deal.

Suprum was also sentenced to six months in…

Back in 1981, three hospitals in Luzerne County merged to create one hospital. It would eventually become Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center.

LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — Years ago, it was NPW Medical Center, a consolidation of Nanticoke, Pittston, and Wyoming Valley hospitals.

It’s now Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township, near Wilkes-Barre.

Noreen Diaco has been around for all of those years. Her first day on the job was in July of 1981.

“I’ve grown up here. And it’s amazing. It’s amazing I’m here 40 years,” Diaco said.

Diaco has seen a lot of changes on the hospital’s campus.

“We’ve grown from a very small community hospital to a large system hospital. it has expanded building after building!”

And she’s marking 40 years while watching another expansion: a massive project adding onto the already existing Henry Cancer Center.

“We know that there are a lot of people in the valley with cancer. And they often feel they need to go outside of the area to get world-class care. And that’s not true,” said Dr. Karlyn Paglia, chief medical officer at GWV and Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre.

Dr. Paglia tells us the new project will add 18 beds for the most critical patients and double the size of the infusion center, where services like chemotherapy are administered, among other improvements.

It’s all about stopping for a moment to recognize how far they’ve come but look ahead to the future.

“I think that’s one of the missions of Geisinger, to go out there and seek the best talent, whether that’s nursing students or medical students, and basically train them, grow them into medical providers we want to care for us when we’re in need,” Dr. Paglia added.

That expansion project at the Henry Cancer Center is slated to be complete next…
