Gas prices keeping some folks local this Memorial Day weekend

Record-high prices at the pump have some people changing their annual travel plans.

GOULDSBORO, Pa. — Close to $200 — that’s a number nobody wants to see when filling up the gas tank. You might budget that amount for a long weekend trip, but on Monday, at the Gouldsboro Travel Plaza, this is what drivers call Monday morning on the way to work.

“I remember I used to be able to fill my car with $60. Now my V-8 takes double that. So it’s going to be $120 to $130,” said George Ramos from Newfoundland.

The price at the pump has jumped for the fifth straight week, according to GasBuddy.com.

The average price in Pennsylvania is $4.77, according to AAA.

“It’s definitely hurting. I mean, that’s why we try not to use that car if we don’t have to.”

“I just feel like I’m wasting all my money on gas, money I could use to eat, to pay my bills,” said Gregory Benoit from Tobyhanna.

“I travel a lot for work, so I’m looking at double the cost everywhere I go. It sucks,” said Andrew Lencoski from Nanticoke.

Lencoski usually heads to Florida for Memorial Day Weekend. Not this year.

“Just staying in the area, maybe doing some hiking, trying not to drive as much as possible.”

He’s in good company; lots of people are planning to keep it local this year.

“I’m not going anywhere,” said Jacob Krisovitch from Covington Township.

“We’re trying not to do much other than stay home and maybe do a little barbecuing. That’s pretty much it,” Ramos said.

Nationwide, high gas prices aren’t keeping everybody at home. AAA predicts 8.3% more travelers this Memorial Day Weekend compared to last year.

If you have travel plans in June or July,…

Yale, Mohegan Sun partnering to develop mobile app to address gambling addiction

The Mohegan Tribe this week announced a $2 million partnership with Yale University to develop and test a treatment model for gambling addiction that has proven effective in addressing alcohol and drug use disorders.

The funding comes amid a surge in calls to the state’s problem-gambling hotline following the start of sports betting and online casino gaming in Connecticut last fall.

Representatives from Mohegan highlighted the initiative as part of a larger $10 million investment the tribe has made in addressing gambling addiction since it opened Mohegan Sun in 1996. The tribe also makes an annual contribution of more than $300,000 to the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling.

“Our intent is not to limit this to Connecticut residents. This could become a new form of treatment for anybody with problem gambling throughout the United States,” said Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment CEO Ray Pineault.

Under the partnership, researchers at Yale will spend the next several years developing and testing a mobile application to provide cognitive behavior therapy to people with gambling issues. Cognitive behavior therapy, or CBT, is based on the idea that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior.

Researchers will spend two years developing the app and then three years conducting a clinical trial involving about 100 participants. Brian Kiluk, associate professor of psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine, said the rigorous vetting process is what will differentiate the app from others currently available.

Kiluk is part of a team at Yale that has tested the effectiveness of computer-based therapy programs to treat substance use disorders. He said the app would help broaden access to problem gambling treatment given it would be available to anyone with a smartphone.

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.
