NANTICOKE – One inning. That’s all it took to send Carbino Club/Archbald into the elimination round of the Pennsylvania State Major Softball Tournament.

St. Mary’s scored six runs in the fifth inning, and pitcher Gia Straub held the Section 5 champs to just three hits en route to a 7-3 win Thursday night at the Nanticoke Little League field.

It was Carbino Club/Archbald’s first loss in the tournament, and also, the first setback of the 2025 all-star season.

“It was just one bad inning,” Carbino Club/Archbald coach Sumer Ploskonka said. “We made some mistakes, and we just didn’t play up to our standards today. We are still in it, and we just have to make some little adjustments here and there.”

St. Mary’s advances to the winner’s bracket final Saturday to face off with Caln Township, while Carbino Club/Archbald starts the climb back Friday with a 4 p.m. matchup with District 9 champ Bullskin Township.

“That was the goal for us. We wanted to play in the 7 p.m. game today, and play in the 7 p.m. game on Saturday,” St. Mary’s coach Doug Straub said. I really like our ballclub. We are working really hard, and I think it’s going to be a really good one with Caln on Saturday. Valley View is a really solid team. We struggled with their first pitcher (Alana Lophovsky). She threw well for them.”

Straub stood in right field as his St. Mary’s squad danced and celebrated the win.

He took a quick glance at the scoreboard, and saw the red six glaring under the fifth inning. It was one day ago where St. Mary’s put a six-spot on the scoreboard in the fourth inning to push past Stroudsburg to open up the state tournament.

Thursday, they did it once again.

“I would…

NANTICOKE — The Nanticoke branch of Peoples Security Bank & Trust is moving — down the street.

Peoples Security Bank & Trust at 194 S. Market St. near Patriot Square is moving to a building strip in the downtown at 75 N. Market St., the site of the former Citizens Bank.

The bank will be located across the street from the Nanticoke post office and a proposed AutoZone store and near the Weis supermarket.

“It’s a more convenient location, it’s close to the grocery store and post office and there’s better parking and drive through,” said Mike Cummings, senior vice president and director of marketing for Peoples Security Bank & Trust.

The bank is closing its current location on July 18 and is planning a grand opening at its new location on July 21. A ribbon-cutting celebration will be held July 29.

It’s not immediately clear what will happen to the historic building at 194 S. Market St., which opened as Miners Trust Co. in 1924 and was a FNCB Bank for many years before FNCB and Peoples Security Bank & Trust merged last year.

When the bank opened in 1924, it was advertised as “Nanticoke’s Biggest Day.”

Property records list First National Community Bank, which later rebranded as FNCB Bank, as the owner of the building.

Approximately $2.2 million from Program Open Space – Local will support nine projects. Baltimore County is slated to receive over $1.2 million for upgrades at Sparks Park and Catonsville Community Park, including new pickleball courts at both locations. Sparks Park will also see new playground equipment, while Catonsville Community Park will undergo paved trail repairs.

Frederick County will receive $350,000 to construct a community center, shelters, trails, parking lot, and roads at Othello Regional Park. Prince George’s County is set to acquire 9 acres of woodland adjacent to Huntington Park North in Bowie for $360,000, which will expand the park with a new natural surface trail loop.

An additional $100,000 from the Local Parks and Playgrounds Infrastructure Program was approved for Caroline County to purchase and install fencing for two baseball fields at Sharp Road Park.

Nearly $2.4 million in Rural Legacy funding was also approved for local sponsors to acquire conservation easements on four properties, totaling 760 acres, aimed at preserving agricultural and forested lands.

Luzerne County Council is going to rank three firms interviewed last week for work on the closed Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge, and “information must remain confidential” until PennDOT’s central office approves, County Manager Romilda Crocamo said Wednesday in an update on the ongoing project.

Members of county council and the county administration, along with representatives from the PennDOT District 4 office, attended closed-door interviews last Thursday, Crocamo said.

“If any of the information presented is made public, the entire process for selecting a design firm must start at the beginning,” Crocamo said.

The county is going through PennDOT’s process to select an engineering firm to determine how to repair, reconstruct or replace the bridge so the county can receive $10 million in federal project funding through the state Transportation Improvement Program.

PennDOT regulations required the closed-door interviews, Council Chairman John Lombardo said last week. Five engineering firms submitted statements of interest to get the job in March, and the county administration selected the top three for council to interview.

On March 20, Crocamo closed the bridge over the Susquehanna River shortly after engineers conducting a scheduled routine bridge inspection determined advanced deterioration and section loss of primary, load-carrying components were critical deficiencies.

The county-owned bridge, built in 1914, links Nanticoke City to the West Nanticoke section of Plymouth Twp. The distance between the West Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge and the next-closest bridge over the river, the Route 29 bridge connecting Hanover Twp. and Plymouth Twp., is more than 1 mile.

The vehicular weight limit on the bridge was reduced to 5 tons last May. That decision allowed cars and most passenger vehicles to cross the bridge, but emergency vehicles such as fire trucks could not.

Last August, the county put the bridge project into the PennDOT’s Engineering and Construction Management System, known…

It is with very heavy hearts we announce the unexpected passing of Ralph Edward Newberry of Delmar, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and a friend to so many. Ralph, aka Eddie, born in New Brighton, Pa., was a c/o ‘80 NBHS Lions graduate. After enduring life’s ups and downs, enjoying much love, laughter, and countless blessings, Ralph entered Heaven as his life on earth ended.

Ralph was a man of deep convictions; hardheaded, driven and a trusted confidant to many. He had an unending love for his family, and enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, including fishing with the Nanticoke Bass Club, engaging in HAM radio conversations as KA3NTV, and riding motorcycles with the DMA.

His strong work ethic and willingness to mentor others made a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to work alongside him. Ralph was a dedicated electronics filter design engineer for 40 years making his mark in the field of Microwave and RF filters. He worked with several respected companies, including Salisbury Engineering where he got his start in 1985, K&L, Lorch, and finally Millennium. Semi-retiring at the end of 2023. He truly enjoyed his work and would often share stories of the interesting challenges and projects he faced. And if that wasn’t enough to keep himself busy, in 2011 he became a partner with Brian Barnes in the acquisition of Big Mouth Lures.

Ralph’s true joy came from his family. He is survived by his devoted wife and biggest supporter of 43 years, Carol (Fox) Newberry; their number one son, Nathan Newberry; and favorite daughter, Lydia Newberry (Inmer Choc). He was Poppop to Ethan and Adelynn, who always brought a smile to his face and so much joy to his life.

Ralph will be sorely missed by his mother Phyllis Newberry; brother Richard (Lisa) and nephew Tarl; sister-in-law Monica and…

Luzerne County Council is in the process of ranking the top three prospective engineering design firms for the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge replacement project, according to a Wednesday update from county Manager Romilda Crocamo.

Council members heard presentations from all three on June 26.

County administrators and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District 4 representatives also attended these interview sessions, Crocamo said.

Once council ranks the firms, that information will be sent to PennDOT’s Central Office for review and approval, she said.

“All information must remain confidential until Central Offices approves. If any of the information presented is made public, the entire process for selecting a design firm must start at the beginning,” her update said.

Council had planned to hold a public interview session but was informed the applicant interviews cannot be public under PennDOT regulations, officials had said.

Crocamo had closed the county-owned bridge over the Susquehanna River on March 20 after engineers performing an inspection found further deterioration and section loss of primary, load-carrying components.

Council allowed a county administration team to review the statements of qualifications from all five engineering firm respondents and recommend the top three to council, which will make the final selection.

In addition to $10 million in federal funding allocated through the state for this project, the county has access to a $55 million casino gambling fund established for county infrastructure.

Because federal funding is involved, the county must select an engineer to develop three options for the bridge.

Since the bridge closing, the alternate route has been the state Route 29/South Cross Valley Expressway crossing, officially called the John S. Fine Bridge.

Totaling 2,072 feet, the bridge connects Nanticoke and the West Nanticoke section of Plymouth Township. The crossing was constructed in 1914 and last…
