SCRANTON — Nanticoke Area’s boys basketball season ultimately ended one win short of a state tournament appearance, but not before the Trojans took one last shot in an impressive second-half comeback attempt Wednesday night.

Scranton Prep shook off Nanticoke scoring the first 15 points of the second half to emerge with a 52-45, home-court victory in the game to determine District 2’s third and final Class 4A qualifiers in the PIAA tournament.

The Trojans trailed by 13 twice in the second quarter before jumping in front, 36-33, by taking advantage of Scranton Prep’s 0-for-14 start to the second half.

“At halftime, our two seniors, our two leaders, Chris Johnson and Owen Brown, said ‘we’re not going down without a fight, we’re going out on our terms’,” Nanticoke coach Zach Pientka said. “We did everything and more to get back in the game.

“We wanted to defensive rebound and get out in transition and we did that.”

Scranton Prep recovered, then put together a closing 11-3 run after Brown scored off an in-bounds play with 5:52 left for the last Nanticoke lead, 42-41.

Payton Kepp’s 3-pointer with 1:59 remaining made it, 46-45, but Scranton Prep shut down Nanticoke the rest of the way and six of 10 free throws to close out the win.

James Pettinato and Andrew Ferguson had 12 points each to lead the Cavaliers, who had their seven-year run as district champion ended by Mid Valley in Saturday’s semifinals.

Matt Cobb added 10 points.

Kepp had seven points in the third quarter and finished with 16 points and nine rebounds to lead the Trojans. Chris Johnson added 10 points.

Jaidyn Johnson had eight points, nine rebounds and six blocked shots. He had seven defensive rebounds in the third quarter when…

Two weeks after the announcement of a proposal for a massive residential development on lands next to Stelco’s Lake Erie Works, the company has told Haldimand council that it not only opposes the development, but that it could imperil the future of the existing plant.

“Based on the information we have before us here today, we can provide you no assurance that we will be here in 20 years,” said Trevor Harris, Stelco’s vice-president of corporate affairs. “There is nothing in that proposal that gives us any confidence that we could survive that type of development for a variety of reasons.”

Developer Empire Communities has purchased 17 parcels of land surrounding the steel mill, and has proposed building 15,000 homes. The site would also include a school, and create up to 11,000 jobs. However, in order to make the development happen, the province would need to change the existing land use designation.

“This puts us at risk, it puts the economy at risk,” said Harris at the March 1 council-in-committee meeting. “Conversations that we’ve had with the City Hamilton and will continue to have with the province will also now indicate that this puts our operations in Hamilton also in jeopardy.”

Harris stated that both operations were entwined, and the loss of business would have a “broad, sweeping impact for our company and all of southwestern Ontario.”

He, along with lawyer Paul Simon, expressed frustration at learning of the plan through the local media, and not from the county, calling it “unfair and inappropriate,” given the business’s employment history and…

(WXYZ) — Governor Gretchen Whitmer plans on rebuilding 19 bridges throughout Michigan state without adding any additional costs to taxpayers.

According to the governor’s office, the Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) pilot program will streamline and bundle the bridge projects to make them more cost-effective.

The program is set to start in March and all bridges are expected to be done in 2022.

“As construction season quickly approaches, we have an opportunity to make historic investments to fix a record number of roads and bridges across the state,” Governor Whitmer said.

According to MDOT the 19 bridges will need full removal and replacement of the bridge deck and supporting beams.

The 19 bridges to be rebuilt this year, along with scheduled start dates and contracted length of the project, are:  

• Clinton County: Herbison Road (March 1, 90 days), Tallman Road (April 15, 90 days)
• Eaton County: Five Point Highway (June 15, 60 days)
• Hillsdale County: Squawfield Road (June 15, 60 days)
• Ingham County: Linn Road (April 15, 60 days), Dennis Road (June 14, 60 days)
• Lenawee County: Sand Creek Highway (Aug. 15, 90 days)
• Lapeer County: Bentley Street (March 1, 60 days)
• Livingston County: Mason Road (May 2, 60 days), Iosco Road (May 6, 60 days)
• Luce County: Dollarville Road (Aug. 15, 60 days)
• Jackson County: E. Washington Street (March 1, 60 days)
• Macomb County: 33 Mile Road (March 10, 60 days), 31 Mile Road (March 16, 60 days), 26 Mile Road (April 15, 90 days)
• Muskegon County: Maple Island Road (June 15, 60 days)
• Ottawa County: Byron Road (March 1, 90 days)
• St. Clair County: Palms Road (March 22, 90 days)
• St. Joseph County: Nottawa Road (Aug. 15, 90 days)

During work, all bridges will be closed.

Feb. 27—NANTICOKE — How long does Pauline Bailey have to wait?

Pauline is the mother of Phylicia Thomas, who went missing 18 years ago under very disturbing circumstances.

Pauline and her family and friends say Phylicia was brutally murdered during a party in a trailer in Hunlock Township on Feb. 11, 2004. Pauline also says she knows who did it.

Now, 18 years later, Pauline waits. She waits and prays that Phylicia will be found and returned to her so she can give her daughter a proper burial,

And Pauline also waits for justice to be served.

On the 18th anniversary of Phylicia’s disappearance, Pauline and her family and friends again came together — this time for a virtual vigil via Facebook. Because of the ongoing pandemic, the virtual event was held, rather than the usual candlelight vigil on Patriot Square in Nanticoke.

Organized by family friend Judy Lorah Fisher, folks taking part in the event were asked to light a candle on Friday, Feb. 11, in Phylicia’s memory and post it to the event’s Facebook page in order to “shine our candlelight all the way to Heaven.”

Thomas was last seen on Feb. 11 2004, when she attended that party in Hunlock Township and she is presumed dead. Her body has never been recovered. Authorities have been unable to identify her killer, and no one has come forward with any compelling testimony/evidence to help investigators find Phylicia’s remains.

Today, Phylicia would be 40. Her mother, Pauline Bailey, accepts that Phylicia is dead. Her wish is to have closure.

And 18 years later, Pauline still sits in her home, waiting for the day to arrive that Phylicia has been found. Pauline wants to be able to visit Phylicia’s grave, bring flowers, sit and pray and spiritually connect with her daughter.

Every day since Phylicia went missing, Bailey, now 65, has…

Regional vets weigh in on urbanization plan for Nanticoke

Are Haldimand and Norfolk on the road to re-marraige? Some think it’s possible. Ontario Government Map jpg, SR

Article content

It may not happen overnight, but a pair of veteran politicians from Norfolk and Haldimand suspect a return to some form of regional government may occur if a plan for the rapid urbanization of Nanticoke comes to pass.

Rita Kalmbach of Port Dover, a mayor of the former City of Nanticoke and the inaugural mayor of the new Norfolk County, said this week that the merger of Port Dover with a proposed planned community in the hamlet of Nanticoke might create a “metropolis” that could make such a move inevitable.

“I’m shocked this little hamlet could go to 40,000 people,” Kalmbach said Wednesday. “But that is good. Soon, Haldimand will surpass Norfolk in population. They had this vision for Townsend and South Cayuga (50 years ago) and it looks like if may finally come to fruition.

“If it becomes a large metropolis down the road, you could see it happening.”

At Haldimand council last week, many were stunned when a planning consultant shared a developer’s proposal for a planned community of 40,000 in the area of the Stelco plant in Nanticoke. Sponsor of the proposal is Empire Communities of Caledonia, which recently purchased 4,200 acres of vacant land in the vicinity of the plant.

Like Kalmbach, Haldimand Coun. Bernie Corbett, of Dunnville, was a lower-tier mayor…

NANTICOKE — A rapid pace that had fans from the rival schools yelling at each trip down court came to a grinding halt with two minutes left in the second quarter Wednesday night.

That was fine with Hanover Area, which had a couple guys in foul trouble. And it was fine with Nanticoke Area, which wanted the Hawkeyes to challenge the stall in the backcourt. If not, the Trojans were content with taking their chances in the second half.

As for some fans of both teams, they voiced their disapproval of the strategy … but it worked for Nanticoke Area. The Trojans outscored their neighbor Hanover Area by 13 points in the final two quarters, picking up a 57-44 victory in a District 2 Class 4A boys basketball quarterfinal game.

Nanticoke Area (14-10) will now get two cracks at making the PIAA 4A state playoffs. The first shot is a tough one as the Trojans will travel to top-seeded Dallas (22-3) for a 7 p.m. semifinal game Saturday. The game was originally scheduled for 1 p.m.

If the Trojans fail there, there is the third-place game on Tuesday against the loser of the other semifinal between Scranton Prep and Mid Valley.

Hanover Area ended its season at 11-12.

Nanticoke Area rode a strong first-half offensive performance by Chris Johnson, who scored 16 of his game-high 23 points, to shake off a slow start. Johnson pushed the pace, but spent most of the final two minutes of the half with the ball tucked under his arm near midcourt.

“We wanted them to come out and play us,” Nanticoke Area coach Zach Pientka said. “Why didn’t they come out and play us? We wanted them to come out and play us. They play us…
