Man Involved in Shooting in Cabana Bar Parking Lot Pleads Guilty

Chad J. Catalano, 23, fired a shot in the air, according to criminal complaint.

A 23-year-old Rochester man pleaded guilty Wednesday to reduced charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication for his part in a shooting incident in the Cabana Bar parking lot in Pine Township.

Four days. Nine restaurants. Two tired, middle-aged people.

A few months ago my husband and I were on our way home from a graduation party when we decided to stop at a local restaurant for a drink before diving back into life. As we sat at the bar our entertaining bartender told us we should come back for happy hour during the week -- 5 to 7 p.m., she said. Well, Steve and I just laughed -- who can go out from 5 to 7? Most of the time, we work until 6 or 6:30, then he has the drive home and I usually have things to deal with at home or meetings I have to attend or the million other things that everyone older than about 25 has to do. I mean, no one our age goes to happy hour any longer. But then he had a thought: Our children were going to be out of town at the end of August. We couldn't actually …
