Senator Yudichak not seeking re-election

No Comments on Senator Yudichak not seeking re-election

While Senator Yudichak does not know his plans after politics, he plans to continue serving his district until his term ends in November.

NANTICOKE, Pa. — After the state courts rejected the last-ditch appeals, the new legislative districts were officially in place.

Senator John Yudichak had to make a decision.

His 14th District seat was being moved out of northeastern Pennsylvania entirely.

And a race for another state Senate seat would likely pit him against another incumbent.

In the end, Yudichak chose retirement after 24 years in Harrisburg.

“It is time; I have four beautiful daughters. They’re moving on with milestones in their own lives. I’ll like to dedicate myself to them over the next several years,” said Yudichak.

Senator Yudichak is the only independent in the state Senate.

He’s proud of his efforts to unite politicians across the aisle.

“I’ve always been lucky. When I was a democrat, as an independent, in a republican caucus, I’ve always been able to forge good bipartisan coalitions,” said Yudichak.

He chooses to focus on the positive.

“We’ve made great progress, but there’s a lot of progress to come over the next few decades. I want to play a role in that in some way to support my friends and support the good people who have always given me everything that I’ve always dreamed of by being their state senator,” said Yudichak.

While Senator Yudichak does not know his plans after politics, he plans to continue serving his district until his term ends in November.

GOALIES SHINE, BUT PENGUINS FALL BY A HAIR TO CRUNCH, 1-0

BOXSCORE

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins lost to the Syracuse Crunch in a narrow, 1-0 decision at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Friday night.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (25-24-4-4) staged a goaltender’s duel, as both Louis Domingue and Max Lagacé were lights out from the opening puck drop. Domingue recorded 32 saves for the Penguins and was only foiled by a bad bounce off of one of his teammates in the third period.

Syracuse stormed out of the gates and put the Penguins on their heels early, but Domingue was dialed in. Domingue was credited with seven saves before the game was three minutes old.

Eventually, the Penguins settled in and tilted the ice with back-to-back power play opportunities. Anthony Angello hit the post during one of those man advantages, but the game remained knotted, 0-0.

Both teams remained perfect on the penalty kill through 40 minutes, keeping the deadlock intact going into the third. The Penguins almost scored on another power play in the third period, but this time, Mitch Reinke struck iron.

Gage Goncalves ultimately netted the game’s only goal when he centering pass redirected off a Penguin atop the crease and knuckled behind Domingue with 7:50 left in regulation.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton failed to score one of its signature extra-attacker goals and suffered the shutout loss at the hands of the former Penguin, Lagacé. The Crunch netminder recorded his first clean sheet of the season with 24 saves.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s homestand concludes tomorrow, Saturday, Mar. 19, against the Utica Comets. Saturday is also the Penguins’ annual St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. Puck drop between the Penguins and Comets is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.

Individual game tickets for the Penguins’ remaining home games as well…

East Catholic boys bringing new crew to Mohegan for Division I final vs. Notre Dame-West Haven

No Comments on East Catholic boys bringing new crew to Mohegan for Division I final vs. Notre Dame-West Haven

East Catholic High boys basketball coach Luke Reilly is well-versed in dealing with the bright lights of state championship weekend at Mohegan Sun Arena. He will be making his sixth appearance in the title game with the Eagles on Sunday.

But it will be a whole new experience for every player on the Eagles roster when they step onto the court to face Notre Dame-West Haven in the Division I final at 8:15 p.m.

“It’s so special, and just to comment on Mohegan Sun and the way the CIAC is doing it, it’s a world-class arena, and I would say if you look across the country, the way these state championships run in each state, it’s second to none,” Reilly said.

“It’s just a thrill….Pulling in on the bus and behind the scenes and walking the corridors that all those big time players have walked and just taking a moment to enjoy getting there. Then it becomes strictly business and there’s a game to be played. So you definitely want to take time to stop and smell the roses but you’re there to play a game and win as well. So it’s a delicate balance, but it’s certainly something you want to treasure.”

East Catholic (19-6) is making its 14th appearance in the championship game. The Eagles took home the title in 1965, 1968, 1972, 2014, 2016, and in 2019, the last time the tournament was played in its entirety

“I think Coach (Reilly) has been in many ways the standard around the state and certainly in his area,” Notre Dame-West Haven coach Jason Shea said. “They’ve had so much success …. Our programs are very similar. Both programs, the kids play extremely hard, they’re all coachable, but certainly he’s been a model program for all of us. And he’s been at…

LMDA President Bryan Moore says, “For over 35 years, LMDA has grown to become a multi-country service organization for artists working as dramaturgs and in many associated fields in the performing arts and beyond. Our most recent, multi-conference theme of ‘Crossing Borders’ encouraged dramaturgs to meet and learn from colleagues from different cultures and regions to develop skills and expand the field. Over the past couple years, LMDA reached more members and expanded collaborations globally through its first digital conference (2020), its first conference in Latin America (2021), and through initiatives like Dramaturging the Phoenix and the International Dramaturgy Lab. We are excited to continue LMDA’s mission with this ground-breaking gathering in Philadelphia, as we further explore the many variations and future potential of dramaturgy and theatre performance.”

Jamie Redknapp is enjoying all the best things about being a new father – namely, giving your baby a funny hairstyle.

The former professional footballer, 48, welcomed baby Raphael with wife Frida Andersson, 38, in November last year, and has instantly become a devoted and doting father.

As tough as parenthood is, Jamie and Frida are loving life with their four-month-old son, with the former Liverpool star sharing sweet updates on family life to social media.

On Thursday, Jamie shared a ridiculously cute snap to Instagram showing off his son’s honestly incredible amount of hair, styled into an impressive Mohican.

In the photo, Raphael, dressed in a warm grey jumper, had his hair styled in a massive, messy Mohican, looking like he’d fit in fairly well with the punks on the streets of Camden.

Mum Frida could be seen in the background, keeping a protective arm on her son’s neck as Jamie took the photo.

He captioned it simply with a series of red heart emojis.

June O. Burton, excelled at everything

No Comments on June O. Burton, excelled at everything

June O. Burton, 88, departed this life peacefully Saturday, March 12, 2022, in Wilmington. June was born Sept. 4, 1933, in Millsboro daughter to the late Eunice P. Harmon and late Travanian (Buddie) Wright. She had a half-sister, the late Derinda Morris; and a half-brother, Travis (Poo) Johnson. June grew up in Millsboro and believed there was no better place to live and raise a family.

She was affectionately known as “Bugs,” and attended the Nanticoke Indian School, where she completed schooling through the 8th grade. She subsequently left school, like many people of her heritage during that time, to help care for her family. She became a devoted housekeeper both inside and outside the Harmon household. She quickly learned the truth behind the saying “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” as she indeed became stronger.

Bugs worked for over 35 years at Atlantic Sands Hotel in Rehoboth Beach and worked her way from being a housekeeper to the supervisor of the entire Atlantic Sands cleaning staff. Additionally, she had the responsibility of maintaining and cleaning the homes of the Atlantic Sands’ owners, yes, she was that good! Bugs always worked hard and was known for her reliable work ethic. Even without a formal education, she was a problem solver who excelled at everything which included taking care of her loved ones. Bugs was a creative homemaker with a unique eye for decorating and unparalleled cooking skills. Bugs accepted Christ into her life and walked with Jesus as an active member of the Indian Mission United Methodist Church, and a lifelong member of the Nanticoke Indian Association. Her Native American name, given to her on June 9, 1990, was Lonesome Wolf.

Bugs married Harry “Clayie” Burton, the love of her life, June 3, 1954, in Salisbury, Md. During this…

No Comments on No repeats in next round of Game Of Claims

Whata Treasurer and driver Anthony Napolitano (Curtis Salonick photo)

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Queen Kendall and Toddler Tantrum were winners in the first week of the Game Of Claims Pacing Series for $10,000-base price horses, but on Monday at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, they both had to take a back seat to Whata Treasure, who closed from last to win by 3¾ lengths in 1:53.1 for driver Anthony Napolitano, who topped the local drivers colony with four wins.

Whata Treasure was claimed for $10,000 out of the first leg, and despite the hike in price to $12,500 for the second prelim, he was again taken out of the claiming box on a day where twelve horses changed hands for a total of $132,500.

New owner Lawrence Smith will have to decide whether a first and a second in the first two prelims will be enough to make the final, or whether to drop him back in next week and risk losing him before the final on March 28.

WHATA TREASURE REPLAY

There were no repeat winners in Monday’s five divisions, each worth $10,000, at this level, but the horse who caught the eye the most was Owen, who had a closing fourth in his GOC bow, was taken by owner/trainer Stacey Currie, then won the day’s opener in an overpowering 1:52.1, taking a new lifetime mark while motoring his own last half in 55 flat under Jim Pantaleano’s guidance.

Other winners for this tag Monday were two for driver Simon Allard, Ain’t It Fun (1:54.2) and IC A Free Spirit (1:55), and Sanattle Slew (Anthony Napolitano, 1:55.4). All these winners went back home to familiar surroundings afterwards.

The four $7500 purse events which today saw the entrants…
