NANTICOKE — The victim in Friday night’s drive-by shooting was transported to Geisinger Danville, where his condition had been stabilizing early Saturday, city Police Chief Mike Roke said.

The 14-year-old male was struck twice — once in the back of the head and once in the ankle — the chief added. Further updates on the teen’s condition were not immediately available Saturday afternoon.

The incident took place prior to 7:30 p.m. Friday in the area of West Green and Maple streets, where a car with gunshot damage could be seen as investigators went about their work.

Witnesses watching a baseball game at a pub across the street said they heard multiple gunshots and ran outside and saw the boy laying in the street.

Roke on Saturday said he couldn’t comment further on the status of the investigation, which had been turned over to Pennsylvania State Police.

The chief did say on Friday night that he believed the incident was isolated and targeted.

Efforts to reach a PSP spokesperson were not immediately successful on Saturday afternoon.

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.

“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 way we could afford as a county on our own.”

But critics — including the local MPP and mayor — say allowing thousands of people to live near giant industrial polluters makes no sense and is only…

Seaford – Georgetown’s Mason Eikenberry star shined the brightest amongst the rest in the second round of the District 3 major league all star game on Friday night.

Eikenberry led Georgetown to a 12-2 win over Nanticoke in the second round of the tournament. He earned the win on the mound in relief allowing two hits, no runs with eight strikeouts and allowed just one walk in four innings of work. Eikenberry was 4 for 4 at the plate with four rbi’s and scored two runs.

“I was just sitting back expecting curveballs, but was getting a lot of inside fastballs,” Eikenberry said.

Maxton Marzullo had a pair of hits for Georgetown while John Klosiewicz, Warren Davis, Corbin Pettit and Marshall West each recorded a hit.

Tyler Hitchens had a homerun to lead off the second inning followed by a double by Jaxon Lathbury for Seaford. Gianni Bartucci and Miguel Sabino added hits for Seaford.

Georgetown will play Laurel on Sunday at 7:00pm at the Nanticoke Little League Park in Seaford. Seaford will travel to Lewes Little League Park on Saturday where they will face Woodbridge at 8:00pm.

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.
