Tony Orlando Announces Farewell Tour

On January 19th, 20th, and 21st, one of America’s most beloved entertainers, legendary icon Tony Orlando, will play his final SOLD-OUT show in Las Vegas this week after fifty-one years as a Las Vegas headliner and now at the renowned South Point Casino.  In 1973, Tony Orlando began topping the bill in Las Vegas at the famed Riviera Hotel showroom and soon after began headlining the esteemed and historic Las Vegas Hilton. During his early explosive period performing in the entertainment capital, he headlined most of the city’s legendary venues such as Caesar’s Palace, The Mirage, and The Desert Inn — and continued an amazing twenty-five years of residencies in all of Michael Gaughan’s venues, including his hugely successful South Point Casino showroom.

As mentioned today in Billboard and MSN.com, on March 22nd, Tony Orlando will bring an end to his long and illustrious sixty-two-year live concert performing career at Mohegan Sun’s 10,000-seat arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Amazingly, this will mark his sixty-fifth appearance over the course of twenty-three years at the venue.

“We are honored that after such a historic entertainment and humanitarian career, Tony Orlando has chosen Mohegan Sun to host his final live performance,” said Tom Cantone, President of Sports & Entertainment for Mohegan. “It’s now time for us to give him a standing ovation for entertaining over 100,000 fans at Mohegan Sun over the years, something that only Billy Joel has done, as he will be forever part of Mohegan’s entertainment family.”

“I am so honored that my last concert will be at my favorite venue on Earth, Mohegan Sun Arena,” said Tony Orlando. “My relationship with Tom Cantone, the stage crews, and the staff at Mohegan Sun Arena has been flawless. I also want to thank all my friends within the Mohegan Tribe for making me feel like…

William Penn statue staying at Philly’s Welcome Park after criticism

Plans to remove a statue of William Penn from Welcome Park in Old City are no longer part of the U.S. National Park Service plans to reimagine the space.

“Independence National Historical Park has withdrawn the review of a draft proposal to rehabilitate Welcome Park and closed the public comment period,” the parks service posted on its website late Monday. The statement also said the draft proposal was “released prematurely and had not been subject to a complete internal agency review.”

Gov. Josh Shapiro said he was in contact with the Biden administration throughout the day “to correct this decision,” in a post on social media. “I’m pleased Welcome Park will remain the rightful home of this William Penn statue — right here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Penn founded.”

When it comes to historic locations operated by the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) in Philadelphia, Welcome Park is not on the top of most tourists’ lists. 

While nearly 2.7 million people visited Independence National Historic Park in 2022, most of those visits focused around Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Although only a few blocks away, Welcome Park, at 2nd and Walnut streets, gets much less attention. 

Opened in 1982, the park’s open plaza design reflects Penn’s original grid plans for the streets of Philadelphia, according to The Cultural Landscape Foundation. The park is named after the ship “Welcome,” which Penn arrived on when he first came to Philadelphia.

That lack of attention changed this week, as the NPS originally announced plans for upgrades at the park to fix “deteriorating” conditions and better live up to its namesake and be more, well, welcoming.

Among the initially proposed changes: new benches, exhibit panels, and a ceremonial gathering space — but also the removal of…

Jack Draper hopes his “atrocious” new Aussie-style mohican mullet will get him home support Down Under. And the British press pack have sworn to get the same severe cut if the world No.55 wins his first Major title at the Australian Open.

The big left-hander, 22, is trending in the right direction after following his best ever Grand Slam showing in New York – where he reached the fourth round – by reaching his first two ATP Tour finals.

But the big talking point before his second Australian Open appearance is his drastic new hairstyle for the new season.

“Some people might say it’s atrocious but I’d say it’s bold, isn’t it?” he laughed. “I saw a barber last week in Adelaide. And they did it and my coach (James Trotman) was like: ‘It looks like they faded it much better, it looks good’. I said to him, ‘It’s not bold enough’. So I went to a Turkish barbers here (Melbourne) and you know they’ll do the job all right.”

William Penn statue will not be removed from Welcome Park, says National Park Service in sudden reversal

The National Park Service has withdrawn a proposal to permanently remove a statue of William Penn as part of its rehabilitation of Welcome Park in Old City, saying the plan was “released prematurely and had not been subject to a complete internal agency review.”

The sudden reversal posted Monday evening came after a barrage of complaints, often spearheaded by Republicans. But high-profile Democrats such as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro also voiced concerns. In a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Shapiro wrote on Monday evening, “My team has been in contact with the Biden Administration throughout the day to correct this decision. I’m pleased Welcome Park will remain the rightful home of this William Penn statue.”

The National Park Service said Monday evening that no changes to the William Penn statue are now planned, but that plans to rehabilitate the park will continue.

“The National Park Service (NPS) remains committed to rehabilitating Welcome Park as the nation prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026,” the statement said. “Upon completion of all the necessary internal reviews, the park looks forward to engaging in a robust public process to consider options for refurbishing the park in the coming years.”

It’s a sharp change from an announcement by NPS on Friday to remove the centerpiece statue of William Penn permanently and redesign the park to highlight Native American history. That plan marked a major shift, considering that the park was built on the site of Penn’s home, the Slate Roof House, and is named for the ship, Welcome, that transported him from England. Penn actually landed first in 1682 near the intersection of the Delaware River and Chester Creek in Chester.

H.S. Boys Basketball: Wyoming Area defeats shorthanded Nanticoke Area

EXETER — Wyoming Area climbed to the top of the division on Tuesday night.

Now the job was to stay there Saturday afternoon against a divisional contender besieged by injuries.

The Warriors were able to do so, preventing Nanticoke Area from making much traction in the second half as they posted a 46-37 win in Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 boys basketball.

Wyoming Area improved to 3-0 in the division and 8-4 overall. Anthony DeLucca and Dane Schutter led the offense with 15 points each. Schutter also had nine rebounds. Tyler Sciandra had eight.

Wyoming Area defeated two-time defending divisional champion Holy Redeemer in triple overtime on Tuesday.

“That was certainly something we talked about after the Redeemer game and leading up to the game today,” Wyoming Area coach Anthony Macario said. “About using that game to get in our heads the right way because it’s very easy to let down after such a big win like we had the other night.”

Nanticoke Area fell to 3-2 in the division and 6-9 overall.

Nanticoke Area’s injuries started before the beginning of the season when starting guard Peyton Kepp was lost for the campaign because of a football injury. The Trojans were also minus starter RJ Brogan on Saturday afternoon, but the biggest missing piece no doubt was standout big man Jaidyn Johnson.

Johnson, a two-time Times Leader All-WVC selection in basketball and an all-state pick in football, was injured earlier in the week against Hanover Area. Nanticoke Area coach Zach Pientka didn’t disclose the injury, but Johnson is expected to miss significant time.

Wyoming Area distanced itself from Nanticoke Area early in the fourth quarter. Anthony DeLucca opened with a runner and Brady Noone followed with a pair of inside baskets to…

Bowzer brings Rock ‘N’ Doo-Wop Party to Mohegan Sun

Wowzer, Bowzer. He’s back.

Jon Bauman, better known to millions of music lovers as Bowzer from Sha Na Na, is bringing his Rock ‘N’ Doo-Wop Party Volume XXII back to Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, Jan. 14.

A tribute to the much-loved and revered music of the ‘50s and early ‘60s, the show features more than 10 groups and individual artists who made an indelible mark on the music scene.

Showtime is 3 p.m.

The show will feature headliner Kenny Vance and the Planotones as well as Gary “U.S.” Bonds, Jay Siegel’s Tokens, La La Brooks who was the original lead singer of The Crystals, The Dubs, Joey Dee and the Starliters, Johnny Farina of Santo & Johnny, 9/11 firefighter Frank Pizarro who is the former lead singer of The Platters, Bowzer & The Stingrays with Johnny Contardo, Rocky and the Rollers, and special guest Bobby Brooks Wilson, son of famed Jackie Wilson.

Still going strong at age 76 – although tours and many solo shows are a thing of the past – Bauman said his Rock ‘N’ Doo-Wop Party is the perfect venue to showcase the talents of these much-beloved performers.

“This show has had a life of its own since I began putting it together in 2003, and we only missed one year due to Covid. It began as Bowzer’s Ultimate Doo-Wop Party and we were doing two shows a year, a doo-wop version in the winter and a rock version in the summer. The winter show was always jammed, but in the summer it was more difficult to fill the arena with so much else going on. So, about four years ago we combined the genres into what is now Bowzer’s Rock ‘N’ Doo-Wop Party,” Bauman said about their 22-year run at Mohegan Sun.

“We bring the show to Mohegan every January…
