I believe much of this is technical arguments and Wilkes-Barre City needs to act, but I don't necessarily believe we're the right body to force other elected bodies to act.

Todd Vonderheid

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport still has five major carriers - US Airways, Delta, United, Continental and Northwest - servicing nine major hubs. Passengers can continue to the destinations that Hooters Air served (Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa and Myrtle Beach) through any of these five carriers.

Barry Centini

He returned to where he felt he parked the vehicle and it wasn't there. He was under the impression someone stole it. Wilkes-Barre police were contacted and he subsequently realized it was parked elsewhere.

Sheriff Barry Stankus

I told the guys if we could get past Polk, we have a good shot at surprising West Wilkes (22-1) in the second round. We've been doing that all year. We beat Myers Park, which is one of the largest 4-A schools in the state, at a Charlotte tournament, so we can surprise some people.

Jeff Rice

You have these high numbers, and it doesn't even seem like you're making a dent. You're losing Wilkes-Barre.

Frank Marra

You always want to play as much as you can, but three's enough. We've got a pretty tight race in Wilkes-Barre right now, and that's my team, so it would be nice to get back there and try to win a Calder Cup.

Noah Welch

It was a great thought, but that thing is so darned big that they needed the traffic from Charlotte. I think NASCAR wants to forget about Wilkes County anyway.

Junior Johnson

It has been a real point of pride. Industry is finding out that we have an engineering program here to be proud of. Being here (at Wilkes) in just three years, I've been surprised at how many engineering opportunities there are in this area. I didn't realize it from the outside.

Dave Wells

We?re going to give away some size up front and that could hurt us a little bit against the more physical team in the league like Wilkes and Lycoming. The question is will we be able to put enough pressure on the quarterback. That?s going to be our toughest problem.

Dave Wood

People think we're getting the spillover from Wilkes-Barre because we're right next to Division Street.

Mike Desiderio

It was a nice to see him perform like this. When someone gets the call-up, you want him to do well. You knew he would, too, judging by how he was playing in Wilkes-Barre.

Michel Ouellet

The story was kind of decorated with John Wilkes Booth and Charles Guiteau, and all the people who had attacked the president. And we just started talking about those people.

John Weidman

These trips had a large impact on the future of the City of Wilkes-Barre and where we are going on the financial side, ... The city was in financial distress. I'm very proud that we paid all our bills and our vendors.

Tom Leighton

We have to be able to run the ball on a consistent basis. We open up at Wilkes and you never know what the weather is going to be like this time of year. You can?t count on throwing the ball 40 or 50 times a game. Plus, in this league, you have to be able to manage the football and manage the clock. The way some of these teams are, the best way to beat them is to keep their offense off the field.

Dave Wood

I feel that if John Wilkes Booth hadn't shot Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln would have come through his pain and emerged like Livingston has. This album was made with the wisdom that comes from allowing yourself to be recklessly entwined with your agony and sorrow.

Carly Simon

We call on all those elected officials with ties to Brent Wilkes and Mitch Wade to come clean about whether Wade and Wilkes procured 'in any fashion' sexual partners on their behalf ... particularly those members among the top recipients of campaign contributions from these men.

Ned Wigglesworth

We had great scoring chances and their goalie was great. Maybe we didn't have that edge today. But I have to finish those chances. This was the reason I was sent down (by Pittsburgh) to Wilkes-Barre. I had chances to tie the game, to win the game. I gotta do it.

Maxime Talbot

We had great effort from the whole team, especially our defense. All the girls played as one single unit, especially them having to overcome injury and sickness this week. We missed a few easy ones and let Wilkes run passed us when they got their three goals off of free kicks. We just couldn't finish even though we dominated the second half.
