Aug. 7—NEWPORT TWP. — An avid all-terrain vehicle rider died Saturday from injuries sustained in a hit-and-run crash near Alden Mountain Road on July 30.

James “Jimmy” Edward Thiemann, 26, of Warrior Run, died at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township.

Luzerne County Coroner Jill Matthews on Monday said no autopsy was planned. When asked for the cause and manner of death, Matthews stated there were no reports to release at this time.

District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce said the crash is being investigated by Newport Township police and the Pennsylvania State Police, Troop P, Forensic Services Unit. An assistant district attorney has been assigned to assist in the investigation, Sanguedolce stated.

State police served a search warrant on a 2004 Hyundai Sante Fe registered to a man in Nanticoke on Aug. 3. The driver of the Hyundai that struck Thiemann fled the scene after the crash, according to the search warrant affidavit.

Thiemann was with a group of other ATV riders traveling south on Alden Mountain Road as the Hyundai was behind them. The driver of the Hyundai attempted to pass the ATVs by driving into oncoming traffic and struck Thiemann’s ATV pushing it sideways for a distance, the search warrant affidavit says.

The driver of the Hyundai briefly stopped before fleeing the scene, according to the search warrant affidavit.

Police in Newport Township recovered the Hyundai after the crash and had it secured at a garage.

State police said there were tire marks on the pavement indicating the sideways ATV being pushed by an accelerating striking vehicle.

An inventory receipt with the search warrant says state police obtained a DNA swab from the steering wheel, a fingerprint from the driver’s side door and photographs of the Hyundai.

No charges have been filed.

NANTICOKE — City Council on Wednesday approved two ordinances that will give voters the option this fall to eliminate term limits for both city council members and the mayor.

Ordinances #4 and #5 were given final approval by the Council with a vote of 3-2. Councilman Mike Marcella and Vice President John Telencho, who also voted against the move at the July 19 meeting, cast the dissenting votes.

Voters can now expect two questions to appear on the Nov. 7 municipal election ballot asking if they want to delete Section 2.10 and Section 3.09 of the city’s Home Rule Charter, which will eliminate the provisions which prohibit council members and the mayor from serving more than three elected, consecutive terms.

According to City Council Solicitor William Finnegan, the paperwork will be filed with the Election Bureau tomorrow and the bureau will ultimately decide how the questions are worded on the ballot.

During the meeting, Telencho once again expressed his opinion that eliminating term limits would discourage people from running for office.

Telencho also took issue with the fact that during the last meeting, Councilman Joseph Nalepa said there was little to no interest from the people in the community in wanting to hold a seat on the council.

“In 2019, there were eight people who ran for four seats. In 2021, there were four people running for three seats,” said Telencho.

Nalepa argued that everyone who ran in the last two election cycles were “already elected.”

“They were all involved with politics already,” said Nalepa. “There’s nobody outside of this realm, this political realm, that is running.”

Telencho pointed out that that wasn’t necessarily true, since he and Marcella ran and were elected for the first time in 2019.

Nalepa then doubled…

Drivers may experience some delays while driving through Nanticoke as improvements are being made to Main Street.

NANTICOKE, Pa. — If you’re driving down Main Street in Nanticoke, you may have to pause on your way through the city as work is underway for improvements here.

Work is taking place on West and East Main Street in Nanticoke between Market and Walnut Streets.

In addition to some stormwater improvements, new concrete curbs, ADA Handicap Ramps, highway lighting and signals will be added. 

“It helps like the elders, and you know, just normal people every day in the walk of life too, you know there’s improvements coming everywhere,” said John Dorshefski III of Nanticoke. “You know, this is just the start of the transition.”

Benches, trash cans, and decorative crosswalks are on the list too.

“Yeah, yeah, that’s fine. I’ve always, I’ve always liked Nanticoke,” said Dorothy Blount, Nanticoke.

Whether folks are waiting for the bus here in Nanticoke or are taking a stroll down the street, they believe the work being done here will contribute to growth in this area and hopefully bring more businesses along with it.

“I mean, everybody’s been going through some, you know, ever since COVID,” said Dorshefski. “But now that we got a handle on things, it’s going to be a blessing seeing everything get revitalized, you know, in the area. Yeah.”

PennDOT hopes to have all the work for the streetscape project in Nanticoke finished in the fall of 2024.
