SCRANTON – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Dario George, age 31, of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury for drug trafficking offenses.

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment charges George with four counts of distribution of fentanyl and/or cocaine, and one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, heroin and cocaine. The offenses occurred between November 23, 2021 and May 19, 2022, in Luzerne County.

The charges against George resulted from an investigation conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Robert J. O’Hara is prosecuting the case.

The case was brought as part of a district wide initiative to combat the nationwide epidemic regarding the use and distribution of heroin. Led by the United States Attorney’s Office, the Heroin Initiative targets heroin traffickers operating in the Middle District of Pennsylvania and is part of a coordinated effort among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who commit heroin related offenses.

This case is also part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

Under federal law, George faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison, a maximum sentence of 40 years…

Daughters of the American Revolution wants you to join their ranks: Are you our Semiquincentennial Sister?

No Comments on Daughters of the American Revolution wants you to join their ranks: Are you our Semiquincentennial Sister?

By Maria Dorman Maroon

Local historian and writer Shirley Richards (1930-2004), teachers Margaret Lee Tawes (1912-2009), Sara Blueford (1925-2003), Elsie Tawes (1924-2016), and Barbara Bloodsworth (1931-2022) — these ladies represented Somerset County’s finest. They were also members of the Nanticoke Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR). Established in 1932, the Nanticoke Chapter is celebrating its 90th year of service with several initiatives planned for 2022 and beyond.

Are you our Semiquincentennial Sister?

A big word for a big event, the 250th anniversary of the United States is coming soon, and the nation is already planning (visit America250.org). Nanticoke Chapter is heralding this momentous occasion by seeking four Semiquin-Sisters: Four new, local members by the nation’s 250th birthday in 2026. What a thrill to commemorate America’s 250th by establishing your Revolutionary War ancestry!

How do you know if you are eligible to join DAR? The first step is to complete a family lineage chart that shows the ancestry of both your father and mother. Then using the DAR Genealogical Research System, you can search for Patriot ancestors (those who aided the cause of the American Revolution). Or you can see if you have a close blood relative who was a DAR member.

The final step can be the most daunting — providing the documents that verify each generation. This can be as simple as a birth certificate, or it may involve hunting down census and land records, military and pension lists, or obituaries and wills. Fortunately, each DAR chapter has a designated Registrar who offers her expertise to help you complete the membership application process.

An enduring sisterhood

A former Nanticoke Chapter Registrar, Suzanne Coons is celebrating 60 years in the DAR. Also reaching an amazing milestone is Dorothy “Dot” Wilson, who…

No Comments on TidalHealth’s Anthony passes away suddenly

TidalHealth representatives this week announced the sudden death of Dr. Harry Anthony, a primary-care physician who practiced in Georgetown.

The 53-year-old father of three died unexpectedly on Saturday, Aug. 27, while vacationing with his family, they said.

Anthony had worked for TidalHealth since 1998, and had served as chief medical officer of TidalHealth Nanticoke and for its primary- and specialty-care offices for the past four years.

Patients can call (302) 297-2587 to transition to Dr. Joseph Karnish, Dr. Maritza Parreno or Jessica Baxter, a nurse practitioner, who are all in the Georgetown office.

Anthony was past president of the TidalHealth Nanticoke Medical Staff, in 2009 and 2010, and a former member of the Executive Committee and Quality Control for the Board of Directors, and had served the healthcare team and providers as credentials chair and department chair for Family Practice.

He is survived by his wife, Thiele, daughters Sam and Ariella, and son Dominic.

Funeral information wasn’t yet complete as of Coastal Point press time this week.

“Dr. Anthony’s leadership and vision were essential during some of the most formative years of TidalHealth Nanticoke,” TidalHealth CEO Steve Leonard stated.

“His contributions to our growth and his dedication to his patients consistently defined what a provider should be to his community,” he said.

Penny Short, president of TidalHealth Nanticoke, said the doctor was respected, admired and loved by his peers and patients and that he will “always be remembered as a champion of healthcare for our hospital, health system and community.”

“He welcomed every challenge and accepted every offer to help us improve our delivery of care, our quality and outcomes,” she stated.

Anthony was characterized as the “quintessential family physician always putting his patients first,” by Dr. Karin DiBari, president of TidalHealth Medical Partners.

“He was passionate about quality and provided invaluable leadership to the medical group as…
