The Berwick Bulldogs will head out on the road to take on the Wyoming Area Warriors at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.

As a matter of fact, Berwick put up the most runs they have all season on Wednesday. They blew past Greater Nanticoke Area 16-2. The victory continues a trend for the Bulldogs in their matchups with the Trojans: they’ve now won six in a row.

Makayla Brown made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 11 batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn’t given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter’s box, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Emma Welsh, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Those six RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Ashlyn Klahold, who scored four runs while going 3-for-4.

Berwick kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Greater Nanticoke Area only managed four hits.

Meanwhile, Wyoming Area waltzed into their contest on Wednesday with four straight wins… but they left with five. They never…

If you ran into the newest Buffalo Bandit, Ron John, during the week, it’d probably be on a lacrosse field. In fact, the former Ottawa Black Bear was coaching when he learned of the March 10 trade.

John serves as an assistant coach for both Lake Shore High School and the Seneca War Chiefs, a Junior B box lacrosse team. With the latter, he coaches alongside former Bandit Darris Kilgour.

Bandits.com caught up with the Angola, N.Y. native to discuss the trade, his reuniting with close friend Tehoka Nanticoke and playing Fortnite.

How did you learn you’d become a Buffalo Bandit?

It was funny. We were doing preseason practice for high school lacrosse and I was in the middle of practice, so I hadn’t checked my phone. In between the drill, I went to check my watch and I saw that I had missed calls from my GM at Ottawa. I knew it was deadline day, so it couldn’t have been great. So, I waited another drill, got my emotions collected and called him back, and that’s when he said, ‘Hey, this is what’s happening, this is what we wanted, this is how it went down.’ And then he ended the call with, ‘I think you’re going to fit in, and we sent you to Buffalo.’

A big mix of emotions there, so it was pretty crazy to deal with, but I think what made it easy was that I was in the middle of practice. So, I was able to bring everyone in. I talked to them about it. Talked to them about how getting traded away sucks and all that, with all the friends and family you make through the years. I ended it off with them and told them that I was going to Buffalo, and the…

NANTICOKE, PA – U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer joined Rep. Rob Bresnahan Jr., union leaders, and local elected officials in Northeastern Pennsylvania on April 5 to kick off her nationwide America at Work listening tour. 

During a roundtable and tour of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 163 Joint Apprenticeship Training Center, the group discussed supporting apprenticeships to develop a skilled workforce, improving infrastructure to attract businesses, investing in service members as they transition back home to their communities, and other ways to enhance America’s workforce. Union workers from a variety of trades, including electricians, ironworkers, and boilermakers participated in the roundtable along with state and local elected officials.

“From strengthening educational pathways for good-paying jobs to eliminating burdensome regulations that will drive economic growth, I enjoyed learning first-hand about the challenges and priorities of workers in Northeastern Pennsylvania,” Secretary Chavez-DeRemer said. “I look forward to hearing directly from more Americans as I help President Trump amplify the voices of workers who’ve been left behind by Washington.”

 

“It is crucial we have the skilled trade workforces needed to carry out essential infrastructure projects like rebuilding our roads and bridges, modernizing our electric grid, and implementing high-speed internet,” said Rep. Bresnahan. “These strong workforces would not be possible without apprenticeships. I want to thank Secretary Chavez-DeRemer for joining us and for making Northeastern Pennsylvania the first stop on her listening tour. I look forward to continuing this collaborative partnership with the Secretary and labor leaders to protect and prioritize American workers.”

Throughout her America at Work listening tour, the Secretary will continue meeting with various workers, union members, employers, and community leaders to ensure real-world experiences help shape and modernize federal labor policies and practices by taking the…

Luzerne County Council can schedule presentations from the top three engineering firms interested in work on the closed West Nanticoke/Nanticoke Bridge after PennDOT approves a county administrative decision to eliminate two firms from consideration, County Manager Romilda Crocamo said Wednesday in a report updating the process.

A Luzerne County administration committee reviewed statements of interest submitted by five engineering firms on Monday morning, Crocamo said.

“Information from the committee reviews will be provided to PennDOT Central Office for their approval. Upon PennDOT approval, the firm names will be made public,” Crocamo said Wednesday in an email to county council members.

Two weeks ago, Crocamo decided to close 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 next-closest bridge over the river is the Route 29 bridge connecting Hanover Twp. and Plymouth Twp.

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 as ECMS, to receive $10 million in federal project funding through the state Transportation Improvement Program. The county also has access to $55 million from an infrastructure loan funded by state gaming revenue.

Two weeks ago, the five engineering firms submitted statements of interest to get the job determining how to repair, reconstruct or replace the bridge. All five engineering firms interested are “excellent,” Director of Project Management Nick Vough said at the last council meeting on March 25.

“I don’t think we can go wrong with…
