BOXSCORE: WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins lost to the Hershey Bears in overtime, 5-4, on Wednesday night at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (6-5-2-0) battled tooth-and-nail with its bitter rival in a back-and-forth matchup rife with offensive flair. However, Alex Limoges netted the game winner three minutes into overtime to give the Bears an additional standings point over the Penguins.

How Did the Game Go?

Hershey’s Joe Snively opened the scoring 84 seconds into the game. A big bounce off the boards behind the Penguins’ net ricocheted right to Snively, who quickly fired the puck across the goal line. Fortunately for the Penguins, Valtteri Puustinen provided a response with a blazing wrist shot midway through the frame.

Jimmy Huntington found the back of the net at 13:57 of the first period, sending Hershey to the intermission with a 2-1 lead.

Those same boards that plagued the Penguins in the first period helped them tie things up, 2-2, 31 seconds into the second period. Jansen Harkins collected a wide shot from Rem Pitlick and deposited it behind Bears goalie Hunter Shepard.

Six minutes later, while on the power play, Harkins took a cross-ice pass from Puustinen and rifled it past Shepard, giving the Penguins a 3-2 lead. Harkins’ second goal of the evening also gave Wilkes-Barre/Scranton a power-play marker in nine of its last 10 games.

How Did the Game End?

Huntington scored again when he threw a puck towards the crease that hit a skate and bounded behind Penguins netminder Joel Blomqvist. Vincent Iorio followed suit by tallying another go-ahead goal for Hershey, putting the Bears ahead 4-3 at 10:55 of the second stanza.

Undeterred, the Penguins tied the game again on Jagger Joshua’s first AHL goal. Joshua drove to the net and steered a…

For the ninth year in a row, the Mohegan Sun Casino hosted a Vets Rock event on Nov. 11, Veterans Day.

The event celebrates active duty military and veterans, and offers a day of valuable programs and resources.

“Vets Rock is focused on enhancing the lives of our service members through a job fair, veteran service organizations, and other resources,” reads a press release.

The resource fair, held in the Sky Convention Center, was preceded by an opening ceremony hosted by Channel 8 meteorologist Gil Simmons, himself a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps.

As they waited for the ceremony to begin, Norwich-based veterans Danny Melton (U.S. Navy) and Russell Caudill (U.S. Army and CT Army National Guard) talked about their reasons for attending.

“I just wanted to see what they have to offer,” said Melton.

Caudill’s motive was more specific. He had come to the event to seek out information about free tuition available to Connecticut wartime veterans. He said that Connecticut is one of only three states to offer this type of assistance.

“I plan to go to school in January. There will be people who can help you get funding for veterans,” said Caudill.

Caudill said that wartime veterans in Connecticut are eligible for 50% free tuition if attending a state school part time, and 100% free…

Born on Dec. 29, 1944 in the Bronx, Joanne was the daughter of a fish monger and homemaker. Her childhood was one surrounded by cousins and big Sunday dinners at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. Her parent’s instilled in her a strong faith in God and a solid work ethic. She attended Catholic schools and graduated from Saint Barnabas High School in Yonkers in 1962.

Joanne enrolled in Hunter College to study economics and there she met her husband Roger Rini. They were married in 1965 and had three sons, David, Anthony, and Christopher before she graduated from Hunter College in 1972. She earned a master’s degree in public administration from Pace University in 1994.

Joanne and Roger left the Bronx in 1970 and moved to Mohegan Lake, where they raised their sons. Her career— being a switch board operator at Hudson Electric in Manhattan to an intake coordinator at Bronx Lebanon Hospital to the bookkeeper at Mylen Stairs—was an important part of her identity. She also was a dedicated Avon Lady, hosted numerous Tupperware parties, and was the part-time bookkeeper for her husband’s businesses.

Joanne was also involved in the lives of her kids as a scout leader, basketball coach, and CCD teacher. She taught them many lessons, including that working hard was essential to success in life. She developed a large friend group in Mohegan and enjoyed bowling and tennis.

In the last 15 years she lost her Dad, Mom, brother Joseph, and husband, and these losses took a great toll on her. After some decline in health, she left New York in 2019 for Winston Salem, NC to be closer to her son Christopher. She had great care over those last four years, most notably from Brandon Buck who brought her many happy days of ice cream runs…
