Trot record for season tied at The Downs

WILKES-BARRE, PA – The Chapter Seven gelding Incommunicado, despite being off for over six months, tied the fastest trotting time of the year at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, 1:52.2, in winning the $17,500 trotting portion of the Saturday co-featured harness racing events.

The four-year-old, a winner of over $200,000 at both two and three, was sent right to the front by George Napolitano Jr., putting foes behind in a :27 opener, resting to the half in :56.3, and then speeding up to hit the three-quarters in 1:24.3. Dee’s Red Delicious gave valiant chase from the pocket, but Incommunicado still had a :27.4 kicker in him to win by a half length for trainer Åke Svanstedt and the partnership of Knutsson Trotting Inc., Little E LLC, Arthur Geiger, and David Stolz.

INCOMMUNICADO REPLAY

In the $17,500 pacing side of the headliners, Tito Rocks, the odds-on favorite, was between War-N-Munn to his left and Rogerthat Bluechip to a :26.4 quarter before taking command.

Jason Bartlett let Rogerthat Bluechip go on to the lead, but was quick to reclaim the front with the victorious Sweet Lou gelding, putting up middle splits of :55.3 and 1:22.4 without too much pressure.

Into the stretch Tito Rocks was looking good, but he needed late Bartlett rocking to hold off the railshooting War-N-Munn by a length in 1:51.1 and run his earnings to $308,152 for trainer Robert Cleary and Royal Wire Products Inc.

State Labor Relations Board rules in favor of Greater Nanticoke Area in dispute

NANTICOKE — The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board ruled that Greater Nanticoke Area School Board and district administration did not violate the state Public Employee Relations Act in suspending and dismissing a teacher aide who took a leave of absence after the leave request was denied. The teacher was later re-instated without back pay following a separate arbitration hearing.

According to the written decision from the PLRB, the case centered on a Dec. 20, 2017 request by Pamela Aftewicz for an unpaid leave from March 21 through March 28, 2018. Superintendent Ronald Grevera granted that request, but the trip was canceled and Aftewicz worked the requested days.

On Oct. 23, 2018, Aftewicz submitted another request for unpaid leave for Dec. 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12 of 2018. She purchased airline tickets thinking the request would not be denied. But Grevera denied the request and Aftewicz was unable to get a refund for her ticket. Grevera warned her that if she left, he would recommend her termination to the school board for insubordination and job abandonment. She went on the trip and missed five days of work.

Grevera suspended her without pay Dec. 12, 2018 and recommended dismissal. The board voted to dismiss, without providing the employees name, at the Jan. 10, 2019 public meeting. The PLRB noted Aftewicz attended the meeting but left “immediately following the vote because she became upset.” The ruling includes a lengthy quote from Board President Tony Prushinski regarding his opinion that it was rude of people to leave school board meetings once they began.

As the Times Leader reported, Prushinski said “Do they have a right to walk out? Absolutely. But it is rude.” He added that he would always speak against such behavior when it occurs.

Sun need to be more efficient in rematch against Indiana

Mohegan — Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller was asked after Friday night’s win over the Indiana Fever if he thought his team settled for too many 3-pointers early in the game.

“Were you in the (team) huddle?,” he said with a grin.

The Sun won yet another home game and scored over 90 points, but did so without having the kind of consistent, efficient play that they expect from themselves.

Connecticut and the Fever conclude their home-and-home series Sunday at Indianapolis’ Gainbridge Fieldhouse (2 p.m., NESN Plus).

The Sun (3-1) will be shorthanded because starting forward DeWanna Bonner stayed home to rest. She arrived back in the country on May 13 having finished her off-season overseas commitments with CBK Mersin the day before in Istanbul, Turkey.

Bonner has played twice for Connecticut and scored 18 on Friday night, including making all four of her 3-pointers, with four assists in a 94-85 win. She has dealt with jet lag, and the team is at the beginning of a furious stretch in which they’ll play eight games in 15 days with the final four games on the road.

The Sun beat Indiana despite a clunky start offensively. They shot just 31.2 percent in the first 10 minutes, including missing 4 of 7 threes and two layup attempts.

It didn’t help that reserve post Brionna Jones was limited to under four minutes in the first half because of three fouls.

Connecticut shot much better over the final three quarters (47.3 percent).

“I want to pull my hair out,” Miller said. “I’m frustrated that I couldn’t push buttons for them throughout the game offensively and we scored over 90, but we didn’t do it as efficiently (as they could) and that’s where I feel frustrated as a coach; that I couldn’t help them be more efficient.

“People (may)…

How to save money on gas at the pump

You can’t control gas prices, but you can be smarter when it’s time to head to the pump.

ProblemSolved, Reviewed

Record high prices at the pumps are giving residents of North Central Ohio a new opportunity to explore nearby attractions this summer rather than drive to a faraway vacation.

The cost of fuel has more than doubled in the past two years, according to data provided by AAA.

As of Friday afternoon, the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $4.593, which set a new record.

The record national average price for a gallon of diesel was set Wednesday at at $5.577.

Ohio drivers Friday were paying an average of $4.469 for regular unleaded gas and $5.248 for diesel.

Gasoline price averages Friday were $4.472 in Crawford County, $4.474 in Richland County and $4.479 in Ashland County.

The price on Memorial Day of 2020 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline averaged $1.989 in Ohio, according to AAA, and the national average then was $1.959.

Local attractions all summer

Residents became accustomed to keeping their vacations short and local during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, according to Miranda Jones, executive director of the Galion-Crestline Area Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately for residents of North Central Ohio, the region has a lot of attractions to…

All in the family: Wilkes nursing school graduation features three sets of twins, mother-daughter duo

Three sets of twins — including a pair of brothers from Plains Twp. — will graduate Saturday from the Wilkes University Passan School of Nursing.

A mother-daughter duo from Nanticoke will also take the stage to get their diplomas and accept their nursing degrees.

Both are believed to be historic firsts at the school, which is holding its 75th annual spring commencement.

Twinning

Like most twins, Jake and Josh Brown from Plains Twp. say they’ve done most things in life together, so going to college together was nothing new for the 22-year-old Coughlin High School graduates.

“We ended up at Wilkes because it was in our backyard. It’s close to home,” Jake Brown said. “We found out about their nursing program and heard it was one of the best ones around here.”

Officials at Wilkes say this is the first time in the school’s history that three sets of twins will graduate from the same program. Saturday marks the school’s 75th annual spring commencement.

The six twins are among 86 graduates of the nursing program who will receive their bachelor’s degrees on Saturday.

In addition to the Browns, the other twins include Devon and Cassidy Catrambone, of Glenmoore near Philadelphia, and Molly and Emily Kiska, of Allentown.

“How would you feel about having your best friend with you all the time — all the way through school, and college too? Well what would you think about five best friends? That’s what happened to these three sets of twins — who just happened to enter the Passan School of Nursing in the same year,” Wilkes said in a press release about the unique nursing class. “While they come from different geographical areas, all six chose Wilkes because of the excellent nursing program and for the small class size.”

The six twins have become good friends because of the common trait they…
