On the street in downtown Wilkes-Barre slushing in the snow! Be careful out there today!
A collaboration of my capers during 2016 that was chock full of candid moments from covering the presidential campaigns to local news stories that I enjoyed covering for WILK. It was an extraordinary year and look forward to what 2017 has in store for us! Happy New Year!

Caught up with local Olympian Kelsey Kolojejchick from Larksville at a homecoming party held in her honor to celebrate her participation with the Women's Field Hockey at the Summer Games in Rio this August. She was welcomed by family and friends and shared her experience with me about her Olympic experience!
Kelsey along with her Teammates Kat Sharkey & were recognized by the Luzerne County Courthouse Tuesday afternoon with a proclamation by the county council for representing Team USA at the Summer Olympics.

😳Clown sightings have caused much concern over the past few weeks prompting police departments to investigate the reports as residents worry that these characters may inflict harm on those they come in contact with. So far, law officials say the reports are unfounded, but continue a vigilant watch out for these hoaxers as Halloween approaches.🎃
With all the clown calamity on social media and in the news I asked my pal Pat Ward, a local entertainer from Wilkes-Barre who performs as a magician and a clown for over thirty years how he feels about the clown capers.
What are your thoughts about the clown sightings? Is it getting out of hand?
About 12:30 a.m Friday morning the mass exodus of volunteers, and politicians parade slowly around the arena floor dodging cables and rogue ballon 🎈🎉🎈bursts trying to get out of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia after the closing DNC ceremonies.
It was a challenge to navigate the walkways after standing close to 3 hours in the media mosh pit as I show you what's it like when the party's over. 🤔✌️🎈

Hover boards are one of the the most popular items for holiday shoppers who crave cutting edge electronics or toys, however: these devices do pose a potential danger as they are not easy to navigate ( as my son demonstrated here at the Wyoming Valley Mall) plus have burst into flames while riders are on board due to faulty lithium- ion batteries. My son did wipe out and only his ego was bruised after his demo noting lessons are balance are key mastering this machine or wear a helmet. I would need full body bubblewrap.
