Many businesses and organizations are having to make changes to the way they operate.
NANTICOKE, Pa. — Stan Gorgas spends a lot of time behind the wheel as a delivery driver for Brick House Pizza in Nanticoke. He’s been keeping a close eye on the price at the pump.
“I went to work and watched as I drove back on different deliveries, and the price just kept going up, up, up. It was $50 one week. Now we’re spending $80.”
The owners of Brick House Pizza started paying the drivers extra money out of their own pockets to offset high fuel costs.
But drivers say the majority of their tips are still going toward filling their tanks.
“Some days, they’ll do 50 to 80 miles on their own car,” said co-owner Ken Hillman.
So Ken and Debbie Hillman decided to tack on a $1 delivery charge that will go directly to the drivers.
“We held off as long as we could with raising our prices, and for two years since we opened, we were doing free delivery,” Debbie said. “But the gas prices are just sky-high now, and it doesn’t seem like it’s gonna end any time soon.”
Kevin Young sometimes travels more than 60 miles round trip to deliver pet food to people in need.
He’s the president of Pawsitively for the Animals, a nonprofit based in Scranton that provides financial assistance and supplies to pet owners.
The organization can’t afford to spend money on gas.
“So my wife and I are eating this bill. We always have. But when we started the program, gas was $2.20 a gallon,” Young said.
Young decided to limit deliveries to one day in Lackawanna County and one day a week in Luzerne County. He’s trying to consolidate as many deliveries as he…

NANTICOKE — Greater Nanticoke Area School District’s spring break will run April 14-16, exactly as scheduled, Superintendent Ron Grevera announced at the start of Thursday’s regular monthly meeting. But that’s actually unusual, he added after the meeting.
Spring break is often eaten up by snow make up days, something that has become a rarity in schools since the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020. Districts developed extensive remote-only education abilities on the Internet, and the state introduced “Flexible Instruction Days” as a recognized use of the technology, which most local districts have been taking advantage of this winter.
One change was made to the April calendar: The monthly board meeting was moved to April 21. It had been slated, as usual, for the second Thursday of the Month, but this April that will be the Thursday before Easter.
The board also:
• Accepted the resignations of Paul Gerrity and Chynna Jackson as assistant softball coaches, School Psychologist Rachel Kozich, and cleaners Bonnie Long and Serah Purcel
• Approved use of the Elementary Center gym by Nanticoke Area Little League for player tryouts March 19-20.
• Approved the purchase…

Customers at Sanitary Bakery in Nanticoke enjoyed the Mardi Gras treats on Tuesday.
NANTICOKE, Pa. — The line was through the door at Sanitary Bakery in Nanticoke with folks looking to grab their Fat Tuesday treats.
“Paczki, my dad sent me for some paczki,” said Cassandra Carannante of Nanticoke.
“Their cakes and everything is fabulous. Well, I really like everything. I like the fastnachts, I like the whipped cream cakes, and I like the hot cross buns. Everything is very good,” said Maryann Shemanski of Glen Lyon.
“This is the place for the paczki out here unless you make your own, and unfortunately, I don’t make my own right now,” said Stephen Geist of Dallas. “Also, I had court, so it was kind of nice and easy to coordinate. Go to court over at Judge Whittaker and then come over here.”
By midday, the staff at the bakery tells Newswatch 16 they were almost sold out of some of the favorites.
Some return customers like Maryann Shemanski got back just in time.
“This is my second time back. My husband and I got a few of them this morning, and then I want to take some for my sister-in-law down in Benton,” she explained.
Customers tell Newswatch 16 they have many reasons to stop by the bakery in the middle of the day.
“Because you want to, well, because you can. It’s tradition. You want to keep yourself fat,” joked Geist.
For some, this trip goes beyond tradition.
“To help small businesses for sure,” said Carannante.”Because the way the world is now, you got to keep them alive.”
Whatever the reason for the visit, customers tell us they were leaving here happy.

LEHMAN TWP. — The third meeting on Tuesday resembled the second meeting three weeks earlier.
That was good for Lake-Lehman and bad for Nanticoke Area.
Lehman shut down Nanticoke Area’s 3-point shooting and dominated inside with its size just like last time as the Black Knights posted a 55-33 win in the District 2 Class 4A girls basketball third-place game.
Ella Wilson led the scoring with 15 followed by Claire Dougherty with 14 and eight rebounds. Brenna Hunt had 11 and Hailey Kline scored eight and had a game-high 10 boards. Lia Keefe’s defense at the top of the zone constantly disrupted Nanticoke Area’s perimeter shooting.
“Keefe just adds to that,” Nanticoke Area coach Ed Grant said. “She’s long, she’s aggressive, she’s relentless. And Dougherty is good inside. Wilson can hit some shots and she’ll be a problem for a while.”
Lehman (20-4) secured a spot in the PIAA Class 4A state playoffs with the victory. The Black Knights will play the District 3 runner-up — either Delone Catholic (25-1) or Berks Catholic (21-5) — in the first round next week. The District 3 title game is Saturday afternoon.
“It’s big,” Lehman coach Charlie Lavan said. “Last year, they only took one team (because of the pandemic). We’re in a tough bracket. You’d like to be at the arena and like to come home with a district title, but you have to know who you’re in there with.”
Nanticoke Area ended its season at 13-12. The Trojanettes, though, were the only team to defeat eventual Division 2 champion Lehman in during the Wyoming Valley Conference regular season. They did so with an array of 3-pointers. Riley Baird had eight of the 14 treys and finished with 42 points in the 70-58 win…
Instead of advocating for a Russian vodka boycott, the LBC Distillery is promoting a Nanticoke vodka fundraiser to assist the people of Ukraine.
The owners of LBC Distillery — which makes its vodka in Nanticoke and sells it in Pittston — are pledging 10% of vodka sales in the near future to a pro-Ukrainian cause.
“Instead of being anti something we wanted to be pro something,” said Maryann Lang, who owns and runs LBC Distillery with her husband, Jonathan.
The vodka sale fundraiser was inspired by a growing boycott of Russian-made vodka that has been sweeping the world since Russia invaded Ukraine.
Pennsylvania has banned the sale of vodka made in Russia at its Fine Wine and Good Spirits stores in response to the invasion.
But, to the surprise of many, the banned list only includes two brands that were regularly stocked — Russian Standard and Ustianochka — and several special-order products with minimal annual sales.
Other popular vodkas, like Stolichnaya and Smirnoff, and bottom-shelf brands, like Nikolai, Crown Russe and Vladimir are branded as Russian, but are actually made elsewhere.
Around the country, people have taken to social media to dump their vodkas — with many discarding the non-Russian-made vodkas like Stolichnaya, better known as “Stoli” and now made in Latvia, and Smirnoff, now made in Illinois. Both do have roots in Russia.
“They dumped perfectly good vodka in an effort to feel good,” Maryann Lang said.
With vodka in the news, the Langs felt it was a good time to remind people there is a family-owned distillery that makes vodka right here in Luzerne County that reinvests in the community.
“If they want to limit the availability of some vodka, that means ours may stand out a little more,” Jonathan Lang said.
The LBC Distillery retail outlet and tasting room at 350 Kennedy Boulevard in Pittston is open Thursday…
