A new ATV park coming to our area?
SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — An ATV park might be making its way to Lackawanna County in the future. People gathered on Wednesday to air their opinions and find out more about the potential project. 28/22 News Reporter Avery Nape spoke with some of these residents to find out how the community is feeling about the plan. Around 50 people came out to Wednesday's meeting, the final meeting of a feasibility study funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). The study took more than a year to find out the possibility of building a trail system for ATV enthusiasts to enjoy. Riding ATVs can be dangerous, but with the right safety measures, it can also be a fun way to get outside. The problem, especially in Lackawanna County, is finding the right place to do it legally. Over the last year, the county looked into whether building an ATV park was possible. Operation Yellow Jacket is protecting construction zones In 2024, Lackawanna County applied for a DCNR grant to conduct a study in order to address a number of ATV safety concerns within the county. A representative of Michael Baker International, the company contracted to conduct the study, says the benefits of such a project would be far-reaching. 'It's answering a safety question, it's addressing an illegal trespass, illegal riding issue, and then the additional opportunity piled onto that is the bonus side of there's potential economic development opportunity here as well for the county,' Michael Baker International Senior Vice President Steven Barber said. Wednesday's meeting was the final one of the study. Roughly 50 residents came out to the meeting to share their questions and concerns about the potential project. One man I spoke with from Throop says he's all for it as it would be a way for people to get outdoors who are otherwise unable. 'I can't hike anymore, so for me, I go for a ride. That gets me back outdoors, makes me feel whole again, you know,' Throop resident James Corrigan expressed. James Corrigan also says having a place to go ride is crucial to promoting safe riding practices. As it stands now, the study has identified a roughly 36-mile-long trail, stretching from Carbondale to Jessup, and then from Jessup to Montage Mountain. 17 land owners were identified along the proposed route. Barber says, while the concept is there, it's going to take some leg work to make it a reality. 'We drew a line on a map and then we based some assumptions on that and said 'here's what it could look like.' if one of those land owners says 'no, you can't use this point.' from point A to point B, you look somewhere else,' Barber explained. This was a feasibility study, and nothing about this potential project is set in stone. The final report from the study will be sent out later this year. From there it will be up to the county and DCNR to determine if, when, and how the project will be implemented. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Masters 2025 predictions: Rory McIlroy will not win and Jon Rahm to miss cut
The Masters tees off on Thursday and the scramble for the famous green jacket begins. We know the tee times for the first two days and we know the field. But there are some big questions that still need answered, however. Will Rory McIlroy finally complete his set of majors; will Scottie Scheffler return to his Terminator-like best; will any new stars emerge? Our experts weigh in below. Who will win the Masters? James Corrigan: Scottie Scheffler Impressed as runner-up at Houston two weeks ago. His game and temperament are made for Augusta. Can emulate Nicklaus by winning third green jacket in four years. Oliver Brown: Scottie Scheffler The swagger with which Scheffler captured his second green jacket 12 months ago was astounding. Not once during his Sunday back nine did he even look faltering. With the forecast set fair throughout this Masters, he should have firm, fast-running conditions on which to dominate and become the first back-to-back champion since Tiger Woods. Tom Cary: Collin Morikawa Scottie Scheffler is justifiably favourite and Rory McIlroy the romantic choice. But Morikawa is in form, Augusta suits his strong iron game, and he is getting closer. Has finished fifth, T10 and T3 in his last three starts. Frankie Christou: Collin Morikawa With the PGA Championship and the Open in the already in the bag, Morikawa is next to close in on the career grand slam. In the last 3 years the American has finished 5th, T10 and T3 at Augusta and despite not having a win for 18 months he is in form again. He went close at the Arnold Palmer Invitational a couple weeks ago and has the game and mental resilience to wear the green jacket. Who are the dark horses? James Corrigan: Sergio Garcia The Spaniard has been playing excellent on LIV and at 45 is clearly enjoying an Indian summer. Has so much motivation with a Ryder Cup return on the line. Oliver Brown: Justin Thomas The two-time US PGA winner is flying under the radar this year, with the anguish of two straight missed cuts exemplified by his tearful reaction in 2023. But he could be finding form at precisely the right time: the statistics in his approach play, such a crucial skill at Augusta, have improved at 14 consecutive tournaments, dating back to last summer's Open. Tom Cary: Sergio Garcia A very dark horse. Has missed five cuts in the six Masters since he won in 2017. But his LIV form is strong, we know he can play at Augusta, and he has the carrot of a Ryder Cup place to spur him on. Frankie Christou: Corey Conners The Canadian is one of the finest ball strikers in the game and is coming in hot with three top 8 finishes in the run up this week. The breakout star will be . . . James Corrigan: Maverick McNealy Has risen to world No 10, so is hardly an unknown. But this prodigious talent has yet to announce himself to the world at large and this could be his moment. A licensed pilot the 29-year-old is the son of a billionaire. Oliver Brown: Jose Luis Ballester Ever since Seve Ballesteros was first introduced at Augusta as 'Steve', Spain has savoured an abundance of riches on these fairways. While it might seem implausible that he could join a roll of honour spanning Jose Maria Olazabal, Sergio Garcia and Jon Rahm, the 21-year-old brings an enviable pedigree as the first from his country to win the US Amateur. Tom Cary: Maverick McNealy Should make headlines on the strength of his name alone. If he feels the need for speed at Augusta, perhaps he can be the top gun, or the wingman, or something. Went close to winning at Torrey Pines a few weeks ago with a final round 64. Frankie Christou: Jose Luis Ballester Spain has a knack of producing generational talents and the latest being tipped to come off the tapas conveyor belt is amateur Jose Luis Ballester. The 21-year-old has won the European Amateur, Spanish Amateur and US Amateur in the last three years and is hot favourite to be low amateur this week. Big names to miss the cut James Corrigan: Max Homa The US Ryder Cup star has endured a torrid time of late, tumbling from fifth in the world rankings to 81st. Augusta is no place to battling one's game. Oliver Brown: Phil Mickelson You would never put anything past Mickelson – after all, he finished with a 65 at the Masters only two years ago – but you question if, aged 54 and buttressed by a nine-figure bounty from LIV, his motivation is quite what it was. Tom Cary: Jon Rahm Big call as he could just as easily contend for the green jacket, but the 2023 winner has not been at his best since joining LIV and perhaps he will give a lot of people a lot of opportunity to say 'I told you so'. Frankie Christou: Xander Schauffele After his major wins last year, Schauffele has been struggling with a rib injury which saw him take two months off earlier this season. In the four events he has managed, the American has failed to post a top ten finish. Augusta takes no prisoners and it seems Schauffele needs a few more months to get back to his best. It will be a disappointing Masters for James Corrigan: England None the players are in peak form and it appears highly likely that the nation will go on waiting for another green jacket. Oliver Brown: Brooks Koepka He might have won as many majors as Ballesteros, but since the last of his five, at the 2023 USPGA, Koepka has claimed just one top-25 finish at the majors. On the latest evidence, he looks ill-equipped to stay the course. Tom Cary: Tyrrell Hatton Love Hatton and actually think he has the game to do well at Augusta, but not sure he thinks so. Have followed him around the course a few times and he will probably blow a gasket at some point. Frankie Christou: Brooks Koepka Nobody would have groaned more than Koepka when the tee times were released on Tuesday. After calling out Patrick Cantlay's 'brutally slow' round last year, he has found himself in the group behind him again. Koepka may find more benefit from just standing on tees boxes and fairways to build up patience rather than hitting any golf shots during Wednesday's practice round. And finally, our experts would love to see . . James Corrigan Ángel Cabrera to be booed. Oliver Brown Rory McIlroy completing the career Grand Slam. The memory endures of McIlroy's little-boy-lost act in 2011, when he ended up wedged against a whitewashed cabin as he threw-away a four-shot lead. Rounding off his set of majors on the same stage would represent the definitive purging of that pain. Tom Cary Rory McIlroy win. Would be epic after all the heartache. Playing well. Or Tommy Fleetwood. T3 last year (his seventh consecutive cut made at Augusta). Would love to see Fleetwood break his major duck. Frankie Christou

When is the Masters 2025? Tee times and guide including where to watch
The Masters is the first of the year's four major golf tournaments, a fixture that emphasises that spring has indeed sprung in the northern hemisphere and the most picturesque of the sporting calendar's perennials. When does the Masters start? This year's tournament, the 89th staging, begins on Thursday, April 10, and concludes on Sunday, April 13. The tee times and group pairings for the first round have been released. The traditional par three contest will be held on Wednesday, April 9, the third practice day open to 'patrons' along with Monday, April 7 and Tuesday, April 8. The par three contest began in 1960 and traditionally features members of the players' families caddying for them and sometimes being given the opportunity to play a shot. It was won last year by Rickie Fowler who would go on to prove the rule that no winner on the Wednesday has ever gone on to win the Green Jacket on Sunday. How can I watch the Masters on TV? In the UK, the Masters is broadcast exclusively on Sky Sports Golf and large parts of it will also be on the network's flagship channel, Sky Sports Main Event. In the United States, CBS will continue to broadcast the tournament as it has done in an unbroken run starting in 1956. Free-to-air coverage is on the Masters website, where viewers can watch every individual shot a few minutes after it happens. Radio coverage of the tournament in the UK is on Talksport and Talksport 2. The BBC deal to show highlights at the end of play of rounds three and four, having previously held exclusive live rights for decades, expired in 2023 and has not been renewed. Consequently Sky is the sole rights-holder. Alternatively, you can also bookmark this page and return to follow the tournament on our live blog, with commentary and analysis from James Corrigan and Oliver Brown from Augusta National. Where is the Masters held? Unlike the US Open, PGA Championship and the Open, the Masters is the only one of the four majors that is held at the same course each year. Augusta National Golf Club is in the north east of the city of Augusta and of Georgia, close to the state line with South Carolina. The Peach State institution is one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the world. Membership is by invitation only and restricted to about 300 members, among them Bill Gates, Peyton Manning and Rex Tillerson. The course is not open to the public and can be played only at the invitation of a member. The club's exclusivity used to extend to barring African Americans and women from membership, only admitting its first African American member, Ron Townsend, in 1990 and first women, Condoleeza Rice and Darla Moore, in 2012. The course was severely damaged by Hurricane Helene last October which uprooted trees and left fairways gouged but round-the-clock work for six months has restored it to its usual glory. What is the Masters prize money? This year's total purse is expected to be $20 million (£15.5 million), the same as it was last year when it was raised from $18 million. The winner will receive $3,600,000 (£2.8 million), the runner-up $2,160,000 (£1.67 million), third place $1,360,000 (£1.05 million) with incrementally less prize money until the man in 50th who will take home $50,400 (£39,000) The winner is also awarded a replica of the official trophy (which never leaves the club). The champion golfer also receives a gold medal and, most coveted of all, a green jacket. There are also trophies for finishing second, being the leading amateur golfer, recording the lowest score of the day, making a hole in one, an eagle and an albatross. How do players qualify for the Masters? Officially players are invited to play in the Masters rather than qualify for it through an 'open' qualification process like those held for the US Open or the Open Championship. But technically there are qualifying criteria, starting with being a past winner, 19 of whom are expected to play this year. Fifteen, who are entitled to play, including Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo and Tom Watson, no longer accept the invitation. The top 12 players from the 2024 Masters also earn a place. All top 50 players in the world rankings on January 1 are entitled to be in the field as well as all PGA Tour event winners in 2024, all players who finished in the top-four of the other three majors last year and any major winner from 2020 onwards. Any player in the world's top 50 the week before the Masters will also be invited. The Masters also reserves the right to invite wildcard players. The rest of the field is made up of the winners of the amateur game's most distinguished events, making up a total field of about 90 players which is significantly smaller than most tournaments. At this year's Masters Britain and Ireland's invitees so far are Danny Willett, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwod, Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Rose, Robert MacIntyre, Aaron Rai, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry. Will LIV golfers be at the Masters? Yes, but diminishing in number given their absence from most tournaments carrying world ranking points on the tours they left. The LIV golfers who have received invitations to the 2025 Masters are Bryson DeChambeau (because he won the 2020 US Open), Cameron Smith (who won the 2023 Open Championship), Brooks Koepka (who won the PGA Championship in 2023), Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson, Sergio García, Charl Schwartzel, Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson (who are all past Masters champions), Tyrrell Hatton (in the top 12 at last year's Masters) and Joaquín Niemann (who, like last year, has received a special invitation). Will Tiger Woods be playing? It is extremely doubtful, the five-time champion and current beau of Donald Trump's former daughter-in-law, Vanessa, revealed at the beginning of March that he had undergone surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon. He has not ruled out competing but it is highly improbable so soon after a major operation. How do you get tickets for the Masters? Tickets for this year's tournament have sold out unless you are willing to pay StubHub prices, starting at around £1,400. Tickets at more reasonable prices for the 2026 Masters via the official route are open for application from June 1-20 this year. Tickets are allocated by ballot, with successful applicants notified in July, giving them nine months to plan their visit. A ticket via that route for one of the three days of practice costs $100 (£77.00). A ticket for one of the tournament days is $140 (£108). What is the Champions Dinner? All surviving Masters champions who are able to attend sit down to dinner in their Green Jackets two nights before the tournament proper for the event officially known as the Masters Club Dinner. The previous year's winner chooses the food, and this year they will sit down to Scottie Scheffler's second go at the menu incorporating most of the elements of his first dinner in 2023 after his first victory at Augusta National the year before. Drawing on his Texan tastes, he is subjecting the guests to cheeseburger sliders and firecracker shrimps for starters, followed by a main course of rib-eye steak or blackened redfish and a warm chocolate chip skillet cookie with vanilla bean ice cream for pudding. He has added two new starters this year, Texas-style chilli, and, with a nod to the freak hand injury he sustained in January while using a broken glass as a pasta cutter, 'Papa Scheff's' meatball and ravioli bites.
