Keystone College

Pennsylvania's senators are split on support of President Donald Trump's federal budget bill. And a Washington D.C. nonprofit officially takes the reins of struggling Keystone College.

The school, which straddles the border of Lackawanna and Wyoming counties, is now owned by the 2-year-old Washington Institute for Education and Research in Washington, D.C. An accrediting agency says financially struggling Keystone still has a lot to prove when it comes to long-term viability.

Keystone College in La Plume Twp. is rebuilding after a year of uncertainty. The 157-year old institution, situated between Lackawanna and Wyoming counties, is a small private nonprofit college that serves a diverse population of students.

Fourth graders from Clarks Summit Elementary School in Lackawanna County released rainbow trout they helped raise in the South Branch of the Tunkhannock Creek.

The school in Lackawanna and Wyoming counties can remain open and recruit students again.

The region's first St. Patrick's Day parade of 2025 is set for this weekend in Pittston. A play in Scranton will focus on Irish history, and Keystone College will host its annual sugar shack open house.

After three days of deliberations, jurors convicted Joseph Atsus, Nicholas Dombek on most counts they faced and Damien Boland on all counts against him.

Dawn Trotta said Nicholas Dombek banged on her front door in September 2019, furious that her brother, Thomas, was cooperating with police in widespread thefts.

Lawyers for Nicholas Dombek, Damien Boland and brothers Joseph and Alfred Atsus portray Thomas Trotta as a liar, thief and exploiter of children.

Thomas Trotta also details Keystone College theft, his criminal background and his friendship with other accused ring members.
