WILKES-BARRE — State police at Wilkes-Barre charged a 16-year-old Wilkes-Barre boy as an adult with the attempted homicide of a 14-year-old boy in a drive-by shooting in Nanticoke in July.

James Alberto, address unknown, was taken before Luzerne County Judge Joseph F. Sklarosky Jr. where he was arraigned Thursday.

Investigators allege Alberto was the gunman when he leaned out a passenger window of a 2014 Hyundai Elantra and fired multiple shots, striking the 14-year-old in the head and ankle in the area of West Green and Maple streets on July 21.

The Hyundai, allegedly driven by John Carl Pearce IV, 16, of Wyoming, was reported stolen to Nanticoke City Police on July 19.

Pearce was initially identified as the shooter in a criminal complaint when he was arrested by state police July 26.

State police withdrew the criminal complaint against Pearce on Wednesday, refiling an amended complaint that identifies Pearce as the driver and Alberto as the alleged gunman.

Investigators believe the 14-year-old boy was targeted in retaliation as Alberto believed he made disrespectful comments about a deceased infant, according to the criminal complaint filed against Alberto on Thursday.

According to the criminal complaint:

A woman from Nanticoke reported her Hyundai Elantra stolen from her residence on July 19. Two day later, July 21, Nanticoke City police responded to gunfire at West Green and Maple streets where they found the 14-year-old boy with gunshot wounds to his head and ankle.

Surveillance footage in the area showed the 14-year-old boy walking as the Hyundai was recorded driving slowly with the rear passenger wearing a ski mask lean out the window and discharged rounds across the roof of the vehicle, the complaint says.

After the shooting, the occupants of the Hyundai were recorded…

SEAFORD — TidalHealth Nanticoke has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Total Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards.

The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a healthcare organization’s commitment to offering safe and quality patient care.

The Seaford hospital was recognized for providing clinical total hip and knee replacement programs across the continuum of care.

The recertification evaluates how organizations, like TidalHealth, use clinical outcomes and performance measures to identify opportunities to improve care, as well as to educate and prepare patients and caregivers for discharge.

The recertification is valid for a two-year period and follows a rigorous and unannounced onsite review earlier this year.

“TidalHealth Nanticoke’s outstanding orthopedic division is pleased to have received this reaccreditation from The Joint Commission, the premier healthcare quality improvement and accrediting body in the nation,” said Penny Short, MSM, BSN, RN, President of TidalHealth Nanticoke.

“It validates our quality of care, while also challenging us to continuously improve and heighten our standards of care for orthopedic patients in our region, which ultimately improves the health of the communities we serve.”

TidalHealth Nanticoke’s total hip and knee replacement programs have continuously strived to exceed benchmarks with quality outcomes. The utilization of clinical practice guidelines in conjunction with multidisciplinary team collaboration were key components in preparation for the survey. The program utilizes strategies to assure best practices are implemented for pre-procedure education, early ambulation post procedure, appropriate pain management, post procedure education and improved functional outcomes.

“Total Hip and Knee Replacement certification recognizes healthcare organizations committed to striving for excellence and fostering continuous improvement in patient safety and quality of care,” said Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, Executive Vice President of Accreditation and Certification Operations and Chief Nursing Officer, The Joint Commission.

Delaware State News

SEAFORD — Bridgeville’s Chris Andrews hooked a state record blue catfish that weighed in at 48 pounds, 7.2 ounces and was 42.5-inches long in the 2023 Delaware Sport Fishing Tournament.

The catch marked the fourth state record fish of the year for the year-long tournament sponsored by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Mr. Andrews caught the record blue catfish while fishing in the Nanticoke River on his personal boat at night with friends who helped him land his massive catch.

Mr. Andrews said it was just another quiet end of summer evening on the water until he felt a strong tug on his fishing line.

“Fishing is a big part of my life — I go out about three times a week, so I guess you’d say I’m an avid fisherman,” Mr. Andrews said, in a press release. “I knew it was a big one, just not how big.

“I got the fish up and close to the boat multiple times, but it would just take off pulling my drag. I had a smaller net than usual, so it took multiple tries (to get it into the boat). After about a five-minute fight, the fish was landed.”

The record catch was weighed at Taylored Tackle Shop in Seaford and certified by Sgt. Nathan Evans, of the Delaware Natural Resources Fish and Wildlife Police.

Mr. Andrews’ blue catfish eclipsed the previous state record set in 2022 by James Lord, by only 4 ounces  — but as Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control Fisheries biologist Devon Scott, who recorded Andrews’ catch in the Delaware Sport Fishing Tournament, noted, “They’re both behemoth fish.”

A list of all Delaware Sport Fishing Tournament state records is available at the Division of Fish and…

Stelco Holdings Inc., Canada’s biggest steelmaker, is pursuing a bid for United States Steel Corp., adding to a growing list of suitors for the iconic American company, according to people familiar with the matter.

Stelco is seeking to purchase the entire company as it looks to increase its portfolio of steelmaking assets and boost its share of the market for supplying metal to the automotive sector, the people said. Stelco is in talks with a potential partner on its bid, the people said, asking not to be identified because the details are private.

Article content

No final decision has been made and Stelco could opt against making a bid, the people said.

Stelco’s interest comes amid Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel’s review of strategic alternatives, which has coincided with a rebuffed offer from rival Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. The battle for the company could spell the end of what was once the world’s biggest company.

U.S. Steel fell 0.6 per cent to close US$31.23 in New York trading Thursday, giving the company a market value of about US$7 billion. Stelco fell about one per cent to US$27.68, giving it a market value of about US$1.5 billion.

Representatives for Stelco and U.S. Steel declined to comment.

Stelco is the successor to U.S. Steel’s assets in Canada, which chief executive Alan Kestenbaum acquired out of bankruptcy in 2017.

A Colonial-era forest is depicted on the cover of ‘1742,’ a book by Christopher Slavens about the Nanticoke Indians’ struggle against the English.

Coastal Point • Submitted

Christopher Slavens is a Laurel resident who serves on the board of directors of the Laurel Historical Society and has researched the history of the Nanticoke Indians, upon whose native grounds and ancestral home much of modern-day Laurel rests. Today’s Trap Pond and local Broad Creek figure prominently in the related story of indigenous unrest and planned resistance.

In Slavens’ new book, “1742: The True Story of the Nanticoke Indians’ Plot to Unite the Tribes, Massacre the English, and Take Back the Eastern Shore,” he takes a deep dive into what historian C.A. Weslager called: “the most important single event in Indian history on the Delmarva Peninsula.” It’s the secret and untold story of a planned Indian revolt to re-capture native lands with an ill-fated tribal council to bring Native Americans together to fight the English.

“I am a local history buff, so it all started here with the location of these tribes,” said Slavens. “Quite a bit of the book deals with the Nanticoke reservation, which was in the town of Laurel in those days, and that is where I live. I then spread out to research other areas and other tribes.”

“The tribes used water to organize themselves. Every Indian village I am aware of from the 18th century historical period was located along a river or creek,” said Slavens. “They had Trap Pond here and Indian River up north, where two major arteries supported their way of life.”

“Broad Creek is the main waterway that goes through Laurel and is a tributary of the Nanticoke River,” he said. “Broad Creek actually flows through Trap Pond,…
