Be Part of the Solution campaign that works to foster public-private partnerships between the residents who give a damn about the city and the officers sworn to protect it. And its why Im proud to call myself a West Sider. Not many years ago, I rode my bike down the hill on 15th Street that we all considered deadly. It was almost a rite of passage to make it to the bottom and stop before careening into Luzerne Street. I walked to each of the schools I attended - LincolnJackson Elementary and West Scranton Intermediate and Senior High schools. Thats a feat many cant say nowadays, either. People like Foster, who I consider an incredible friend of
this paper, and those involved with the watch have helped reclaim their corner of West Scranton. Unfortunately, in years past, it has become a corner of the city known for drug activity in the parking lots of pharmacies, the sale of once legal bath salts and more criminal acts in general. Theres a hope that a crime watch full of resilient residents paired with a proactive police department with a lead-byexample sort of chief can reverse that. A glimmer of that hope existed on a makeshift movie screen and reflected in the eyes of those who came out to be a part of their community last weekend.

CRANTON Robert Cordaro had one word as he left the William J. Nealon Federal Building Tuesday night: Wow. Cordaro, 50, the former majority commissioner of Lackawanna County, was found guilty of 18 of the 33 public corruption counts by a jury of six men and six women who deliberated for 7.5 hours in the public corruption case against him and current Lackawanna County Minority Commissioner A.J. Munchak. Munchak was found guilty of eight of the 21 counts against him.
Cordaro was found guilty of some of the more serious charges, including bribery, extortion, racketeering and money laundering and could receive a maximum sentence of 229 years in prison and $4.5 million in fines. Munchak, 64, faces up to 93 years and $2 million in fines after being found guilty of bribery, extortion and tax fraud. When the case opened, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lorna Graham said the men used campaign contributions as a personal piggybank, and U.S. Attorney Peter Smith continued that analogy in reacting to the decision Tuesday evening. The jury verdict showed that a public office is not similar to an ATM machine to generate secret cash payments or an entitlement to pay for pleasure trips or a license to steal, hide or cynically misrepresent relationships that conflict with a public officials duties, he said. Cordaro and Munchak pleaded not guilty three times to the original indictment on March 16, 2010, and to two superceding indictments that followed. Munchak continued to

proclaim his innocence on North Washington Avenue even after the verdict was handed down. I never took a dime from that Mr. Kalina, he said, referring to the $60,000 total in cash payments government officials said he accepted from Highland Associates executive Don Kalina that resulted in the bribery, extortion and tax fraud counts against him. Im disappointed. I believe in the jury system, but I just cant believe that theyd believe him over me They did a financial colonoscopy on me, and they couldnt find that money. I dont understand. Hopefully, my lawyers will do what they have to do. Attorney Chris Powell, who represented Munchak, said he, too, was disappointed that his client was found guilty of federal charges. We started this trial two weeks ago. I thought he was innocent then. I still believe hes innocent today, he said. Munchak reacted strongly to the first guilty verdict levied against him, saying, What?! in
the courtroom as he stood near his attorneys. Four more guilty verdicts later, he was sitting down in his chair inside Courtroom One. At the end of the case, Munchaks attorneys requested that each juror state an individual opinion on the eight counts of which he was found guilty. Each verdict was unanimous. Cordaro, meanwhile, was dumbfounded that jurors would believe Kalina and West Scranton funeral director Al Hughes, whom his attorneys worked to paint as adulterers and gamblers, respectively. Hughes was paid $10,000 per month by Acker Associates as a marketing consultant, and he passed the money to Cordaro so they could maintain lucrative county contracts. I guess it goes with the old saying, You lay down with dogs you get fleas. I certainly didnt think it made you a dog, Cordaro said. They believed Don Kalina and Al Hughes over A.J. and I, and Im really shocked by that fact. I dont know how this happened. Cordaros lead attorney, Wil-
liam Costopoulos, said Monday in his closing that the payments from Hughes would carry the day. The $360,000 in payments over three years came with the eventual guilt of extortion and racketeering, which alone bring a maximum sentence of 100 years in prison. Smith said that abuse of power by government officials will not be tolerated, and the jurys verdict in this case is proof. Just maybe a public airing of the abuses of power that were shown here will help bring about a better day for the county government and the citizens of Lackawanna CountyThe federal agencies are here to stay and theyre here to make sure it is not tolerated, he said. But the condemnation of the sleazy actions of Cordaro and Munchak, according to Smith, does not mean an outright end to corruption. This investigation has concluded, he said. The larger group of investigations of corruption in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, particularly in Northeastern Pennsylvania, is continuing. Both attorneys Costopoulos and Powell said appeals are almost certain. Until then, a sentencing date of Sept. 28 has been set by Senior U.S. District Court Judge A. Richard Caputo.

SCRANTON City Council tabled controversial legislation on Tuesday that could change the zoning of a parcel of land in Minooka where a developer hopes to build low-income housing. Introduced unanimously last week, it was tabled after small changes were made to the legislation. City solicitor Boyd Hughes, who worked with city planner Don King to develop the legislation, said that following any modification,howeverslight,itmust be sent back to the Lackawanna County Regional Planning Commission and Scranton Planning Commission for their review and recommendations. Any significant change would require another public hearing, such as the one held earlier this month. Drafted at the request of the Minooka Neighborhood Association, the legislation would rezone a 17-acre plot located near
site, he argued. Worgan stressed that he sincerely and genuinely believes thattheprojectwouldbearealasset to the community. There are misconceptions and people trying to discredit our conceptandouridea.Theresthismisunderstanding that what were proposingishousingoflastresort, that were going to create a slum and not manage it and its going to be public housing and were going to import people from the big city. I think theres an undercurrent of racism from what Im hearing from people, he continued. The fact of the matter is that this is going to be housing of choice. Its housing for people that work, people that do not have a lot of money but they have to get up every day and go to work and pay the rent just like people with more money. Worgan added that his Hockessin, Del.-based company is exploring options right now, which he said include legal options.

SCRANTON The Scranton Sewer Authority came under fire again by City Council on Tuesday, this time for the alleged firing of an employee for the private use of city equipment and recent rate increases. Council Vice President Pat Rogan said that employees of the authority informed him of the incident, in which an employee allegedly used city equipment for private construction work at a residence in the city. A supervisor was also purportedly suspended, but Rogan has yet to confirm the story or the employees involved with the authority officially. He requested the information via letter. The Scranton Sewer Authoritys executive director, Eugene Barrett, did not return several requests for comment, and a secretary at the authority said that issues involving personnel are private matters. I will be the first one to say thats completely unacceptable that government property is being used on a private residence by, I believe, a contractor. I do believe someone was fired over the incident,
but it really does make me wonder what type of security thats going on down at the Scranton Sewer Authority, Rogan said. Ive said it before and Ill say it again now is the time to sell the Scranton Sewer Authority. Put it in private handsGovernment shouldnt be in the sewer business. There are a lot of businesses we shouldnt be in. Rogan first suggested in April that the city consider privatization of the authority and the Department of Public Works, accusing city administration of filling the departments with crony hires. He said on Tuesday that at least 20 employees were hired under Mayor Chris Doherty. The Sewer Authority is the fat of the government, along with a few other departments that Ive mentioned often during meetings, Rogan added. Councilman Bob McGoff said in April that privatization would likely be years away, if at all possible. Rogan felt that efficiency surveys should still be conducted and the city should start discussing its future options now. Council President Janet Evans also crit-
icized the Scranton Sewer Authority on Tuesday for a resolution the authority board passed last month, approving a 47 percent preliminary rate increase for commercial and residential users, effective April 1. In response to complaints from city residents, Evans said that council is in the process of registering a complaint with the state Public Utility Commission and will be requesting a public hearing with the PUC on the rate increases. Other authority issues addressed Taking issue with another authority later in the meeting, Evans voted against legislation to appoint Danny Davis to the Scranton Recreation Authority, along with Councilman Jack Loscombe. The legislation passed with a 3-2 vote. My concern is certainly not with Mr. Davis. My concern is the Scranton Recreation Authority itself, and the Scranton Recreation Authority has acted, for many years now, against the wishes of the people of the city of Scranton. It has acted independently of the council of the city of Scranton, Evans explained.
I do believe it should be disbanded. Rogan agreed, but voted for the appointment, as he didnt believe in punishing someone for the sins of their predecessors. I just cant continue to appoint respectful individuals to that authority when the actions of the authority would be harming the residents of the city and the children of the city of Scranton, Evans responded. All the authorities in this city have gone unreined for too long. I dont know we started, but we do have to start somewhere, and they have to start working for the public they serve, not for certain masters they served, Loscombe agreed. I dont think that continuing to make appointments solves the problem. In fact, its perpetrating the unaccountable power and autonomy of city authorities. Earlier this month, council chose not to challenge the appointment of former city business administrator Stu Renda to the Scranton Sewer Authority, approving his appointment with a 3-1 vote. McGoff was absent and Rogan dissented, citing Rendas lackluster record.

SCRANTON Less than 24 hours after Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak was found guilty in federal court of conspiracy, bribery, extortion, and other corruption charges, remaining majority commissioners Corey OBrien and Mike Washo addressed how they would prevent further corruption in county government, particularly in the hiring of vendors, going forward. After reading Munchaks letter of resignation, OBrien referred to the actions of Munchak and former Commissioner Robert Cordaro as the countys past, not the present or future. Our administrations review, which began in 2008, of all county policies, procedures, and controls continues. This review has and will continue to include input from the county solicitor, general council for litigation, ethics council, county controller, and the professional staff, OBrien said. We will continue to implement improvements to county policies, procedures, and controls as issues arise. I want to reassure the public that we will take all necessary steps within our power to prevent this behavior from repeating itself. Washo explained that the debt accumulated from a spending spree in 2003 until 2006 will last long after this administration, saying that his protests as a minority commissioner during Munchak and Cordaros tenure were not enough to prevent their wasteful spending. I walk into that purchasing office on a regular basis and say, How much money have we saved today? not Whos getting the work? This is important because over $120 million of indebtedness was accumulated during the previous four-year period. Im not here to castigate anyone, but taxpayers have to know, Washo said.
Its the taxpayers who are going to feel the pain of that, some of that debt over the next 30 years. We have to be conscious of it. Thats a challenge ahead. There are many things this county wont be able to do on behalf of its people that are good things for possibly a generation as a result of that debt. After the meeting, OBrien said that he and Washo took a number of measures to prevent further corruption since their arrival as majority commissioners in 2008. There is now a qualification-based selection process for county vendors, he noted, with no preferred vendor list. All requests for proposals are posted online and anyone can fill out an application to be considered for government jobs. I can tell you that we consistently review policies, procedures, and controls in Lackawanna County, and based on the evidence presented in the finds of the jury, well continue to review that process, and any changes that we can make, well make, he said. Were not going to jump to conclusions less than 24 hours after a jury verdict. That would be imprudent on our part. We need to review it all and make decisions that are not snap judgments. He added that Attorney David Fallk, the countys ethics counsel, attended the nearly every day of the three-week trial and will be advising the commissions on how they can prevent further issues. OBrien said he did not know if any of the companies named during the trial were still working for the county. Washo said they also put a stop to the lavish gifts being given to commissioners by businesses and others involved with the county. There isnt anything that we need to do today, Washo said. There isnt anything that we learned in the courts where there was some deficiency that needed to be addressed today or tomorrow or next week.
SCRANTON After a brief executive session on Wednesday, the Lackawanna County Prison Board announced their decision to appoint Robert McMillan as the new permanent warden. Commissioner Corey OBrien said that out of 27 applicants, a panel narrowed it to 11 for interviews. Out of those, four candidates were chosen for a second round of interviews, and then discussions began with McMillan to negotiate his contract. Interim Warden Vincent Mooney called the interviews intense, during which tough questions were asked of the applicants. The appointment was approved unanimously by the prison board, and again later that day by the county commissioners. The salary board also approved an increase in the wardens salary, from $71,253 to $85,000. McMillan is set to begin work on Monday, although Mooney will stay on for two weeks to ease the transition period. We have an opportunity to change Lackawanna County Prison, and I think the right man has been selected, Mooney said. One of the things I liked about him was the fact that he has a military background. He served in the United States Navy, was a member of the presidential honor guard, and had White House
and top security clearances, Commissioner Mike Washo said. He comes to us someone we never knew McMillan anything about when he arrived other than what we read on paperHe has a confidence that I think is necessary to make this prison the kind of prison that we all want it to be.
Lifetime of experience Serving as Deputy Superintendent 2 at SCI Coal Township, McMillan was the Deputy for Centralized Services and responsible for the overall operation of food service, inmate programs, health care, education, inmate employment, psychological services, drug and alcohol programs, recreational activities, volunteer services, and inmate records, according to his resume. In addition, he served as Acting Superintendent when needed. I believe in being very vigilant. I believe in being there in all hours of the day and night. I lead by example. Im a doer, McMillan told Go Lackawanna on Wednesday. Serving in the U.S. Navy from 1975 until 1979, the now 54-yearold Hunlock Creek resident became a member of the Presidential Honor Guard and gained over
21years of experience working in the Department of Corrections. Ive been a management-level employee for over 16 years. I do have an extensive labor relation background. I do have an extensive security background. I was a training lieutenant, and I understand the importance of training. Ive supervised both sides facilities management and centralized services, McMillan said. McMillan believes his greatest challenges in his new position will be learning the physical layout of the facility, getting to know the staff, learning what the prisons problems are, and examining the prisons policies to see what needs to be rewritten. I review everything. I look at staffing levels, I look at making sure shifts are balanced, the needs of the facility like camera coverage and camera placements, and security practices. Its all a part of what you should be looking at on a daily basis, he said, adding that he would also watch overtime. Myfirstthingistogoinanddo an assessment of the prison itself, see whats going, take a close evaluation of it, look at the budgetary issues, find the security issues. Im coming in with a fresh set of eyes, fresh set of views. Im sure Warden Mooney did an outstanding job in moving forward and beginning the process. Now its just a matter of keeping it up.

CLARKS SUMMIT - The Abington Heights School Board approved a budget of $43,399,674 for the 2011-12 school year during its monthly meeting held on Wednesday, June 22. Despite the discussion of a tax increase earlier this year, the approved budget has a zero percent mill tax increase, with the mill rate remaining at 117.35. Members were still forced to make a number of cuts. The district refrained from filling 12 teaching positions left vacant by retirement, which led to the elimination of the Latin program, elementary computer
instruction, librarians in the high school and middle school, and transitional first grade. The transitional first grade class has been offered to students in the Abington Heights School District who are believed to need another year of instruction before entering first grade after completing kindergarten. Several members of the community, many of whom had children that participated in the class, spoke against the cuts during Wednesdays meeting. It was a decision we struggled with to put him in transition, parent Cathy Capwell said of her son. Hell be in fourth grade this year, and he was fortunate enough to be in transition. Retired Abington Heights
teacher Tom Brogan also spoke on behalf of the program. He questioned the affect the cut will have not only on the students who would have attended the transitional first grade, along with their teachers and classmates. Its a program that works and youre going to hurt our kids by getting rid of it, said Brogan. Superintendent Michael Mahon didnt argue with the quality of the program but said that he believes the students who would have been enrolled in the transitional class next year will be able to succeed in first grade. The Abington Heights School Board will meet again on Wednesday, July 20.

SCRANTON After a few adjustments, a billboard advertisement featuring a half-naked man will be seen alongside two area highways. According to a press release issued by WyckWyre.com, the original advertisement showed a bare-chested man from the neck down standing in front of a representation of an American flag and read: Congressman, looking for a new job? Go to WyckWyre.com. The Scranton office of Lamar Advertising Company, based in Baton Rouge, La., hesitated to run the ad, saying it disrespected the flag. When we looked at the first ad we felt it was kind of risqu and was disrespectful of the American flag, said Tom Donohue, general manager at Lamars Scranton office. We feel the
American flag is very sacred and we thought the ad was not very tasteful. Donohue said Lamar never rejected the ad. He said Lamar asked that the ad be redone. The second ad uses red, white and blue colors in the background, but not a flag and now reads: We can help you get a
job! (Even ex-politicians) WyckWyre.com. Were actually running the ad as we speak, Donohue said Tuesday afternoon. We felt the first ad was a little sensitive capitalizing on the scandal involving former Congressman Anthony Weiner. Donohue said the ad will be
running on two digital billboards one along Interstate 81 near the Drinker Street exit in Dunmore, and the other on Route 309 near the Sheetz store in Wilkes-Barre. As of this morningWyckWyre.com received word that the latest version of the billboard in question was to be displayed, ef-
fective immediately, said Justin Poet, vice president of WyckWyre.com. WyckWire.com issued a press release soon after Lamar first balked at running the ad in its original form. Poet said the companys ads are meant to be a little edgy. Were trying to get noticed instead of being drowned out by all the white noise, Poet said in a release. We knew it might ruffle a few feathers yet our message was fun, funny and was designed to show there is a lighter side to our economic and political environment. Each digital billboard, on which run the ads appear, loop on an 8-second rotational cycle.

Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy is locked up by Judge Christopher Arnone for the annual MDA Lockup at Kildares on June 22.
SCRANTON Business owners, office workers, and even Scrantons police chief were locked up Wednesday, and their bail will help locals affected by a number of neuromuscular diseases. One by one, Judge Christopher Arnone, an attorney with offices in Scranton and Jefferson Township, dressed community leaders in their prison stripes before they made phone calls to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Arnone said he became involved with MDA 12 years ago and helped found the groups Black and Blue Ball. When attending a summer camp years ago, he and WNEP personality Don Jacobs asked an attendee what activity she enjoyed most. She said she liked swimming the best, Arnone recalled. She told me, When Im in the water, I can walk like normal kids. Ive been hooked ever since. Early Wednesday morning, Chief
Dan Duffy was working the phones after being the first person locked up this year. If I can use my position for something good, why not do it? Im going to take an hour out of my day and possibly raise a lot of money from someone who is a lot less fortunate than us, he said. Duffy actually worked for almost two hours after his 10 a.m. arraignment to raise $1,032 for the local branch of the MDA. One hundred forty people were locked up Wednesday at the third consecutive event held at Kildares, 119 Jefferson Ave., Scranton. Last year, $25,000 was raised, according
to Heather Logie-Schield, executive director of the Scranton chapter of MDA. Fundraising totals for the 2011 effort were not available at press time. Funds raised go towards finding cures for 43 neuromuscular diseases and support services for existing clients affected by those diseases. Those services include flu shots, clinics, and a loan closet where clients can borrow equipment from power scooters to walkers. What a lot of these people are doing is thinking about sending kids to summer camp, Logie-Schield said. The camp, held outside of Lansdale, is a one-week camp provided free to children affected with muscular dystrophy. The camp has a 1:1 counselor-tocamper ratio, and $3,000 can send a group of four children. Donations of $100 can fund a support group session, and $30 can offset a flu shot. No matter what level theyre fundraising, they are helping in some manner, Logie-Schield said.

We are looking for people who want to shine and who will want to stay on for an extended period of time, maybe one or two years and even people who want to become potential managers, Lambert said. It doesnt matter if you have experience in this business or not. What matters is your drive and your desire to succeed. The Scranton Sonic is looking for 85 staff members, including 20 roller-skating car hops.
SCRANTON The fifth member of the Scranton Police Department with four legs was introduced last week, and hes already making an impact. Ecko, the departments new K9, was unveiled Saturday, June 18. Officer Kyle Kemp is the newest officer to join the K9 division, and his partner shows that a well-established department can introduce some new tricks. The 3-year-old German Shepherd is known as a passive indicator, according to Chief Dan Duffy. He doesnt scratch when he indicates on a detection of narcotics. He basically gives a passive response where hell sit down, and Officer Kemp, the handler, is trained to understand that, Duffy said. It allows Kemp to perform walk-arounds of people, not just vehicles, to search for narcotics. On June 17, his third day on the job, Ecko helped in finding his first drug suspects at a convenient market on the corner of Meadow Avenue and River

cers will use grassy areas of the adjoining park to conduct training exercises. Kemp, an officer in Scranton for more than eight years, has had Ecko for about two months and said he has already bonded with his new partner. Youre personally responsible for taking the dog to the next
level (through on- and off-duty training), Kemp said. I really believe that theyre smarter than we are. Duffy said the purchase of a new dog was possible through a 5K K9 run held in 2010 that raised $12,000. The run moves downtown on Saturday, Sept. 24.

that could save money in the long run. Have you seen the price of cereal without coupons or a deal? Its not something that you want to have in your cart every week.
After you develop a budget, you want to determine a price per item. Its important to recognize that every item in you purchase fluctuates in price, and every item reaches a high point and low point. Buy it at the low point. Using the example above, I like to pay $1 per box of cereal. When cereal is on sale for four for $8, thats a great deal, but you can still chop the price in half. You should also be aware of meat prices and learn when the low points of meat sales are active. If you notice that the best price for chicken is $1.69 per pound, then that is the time that you should stock up and make room in the freezer. Sales usually have a cycle of between eight and 12 weeks. Take note of the sale cycles in your favorite store. Although this may seem like work in the beginning, youll soon develop an instinct that you need to run to the drugstore for $.99 toothpaste deals that you can match with a $1 off coupon. Finally, get organized! Make a list when browsing all weekly circular ads and create a list for each store. Find the best deals with coupons, sales and low point prices for necessary items. And, keep to the list as much as possible.

In an article published earlier this month, MSN Real Estate ranked Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as number one in a list of the 10 Best Places to Start Over. The author of the article, Melinda Fulmer, wrote that the city has turned itself around after the loss of both jobs and half its population over the last several decades, allowing people affected by the economic downturn a place to move and rebuild. After spending hundreds of millions of dollars on development projects, the city now has a more diversified base of health-
services, education, tourism, and technology jobs. And with a new medical college in place, it is trying to attract more bioscience companies. The city also is working to spruce up its downtown to retain younger residents who come here for college, Fulmer wrote. Mayor Chris Doherty wasnt surprised by the ranking, as the city has also been featured in Money Magazines 10 Fastest Growing Real Estate Markets, Forbes Fastest-Recovering Cities, and Business Weeks Best Places to Raise Kids and Best Places to Start Over since he took office.
In the last four years, weve made these lists. Years ago, we used to make the bad lists. Its nice that we keep trending upward, Doherty said. Last year, the Pennsylvania Economy League projected Scrantons debt to rise to over $5.6 million by 2013, and while the city has remained in distressed status under state Act 47 since 1992, the mayor cited the recent construction of new apartment complexes and the Commonwealth Medical College as examples of the citys continued rejuvenation. I think we have a high quality of life here. We have nice neigh-
borhoods, low crime, a great educational system, and our downtown is growing. People are moving into our downtown, particularly young people, and its not expensive, he explained. Austin Burke, president of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, named numerous Chamber-led projects that have contributed to the areas growth and development in a June 20 press release. This recognition illustrates what we have known all along that Scranton is scoring high when it comes to job prospects
and affordable housing, Burke said in the release. Additionally, Maureen Edwards, president of the Greater Scranton Board of REALTORS, found it very gratifying for the area to be recognized as one of the 10 best cities to relocate to. The housing market in the area has an active inventory along with very affordable pricing. Financing options offer various choices for buyers along with numerous city and government housing programs. Interest rates are very affordable. It is a great time to buy, Edwards said in an e-mail interview.

ban Railway Company. Sturges, president of this new company, believed that electricity would become the future power for public transit. He traveled major American cities where electricity had been tried to power streetcars but found none in regular public operation. After reviewing several installations, Sturges was most impressed with the work of Charles J. Van DePoele and contracted with his Chicagobased company to construct the Green Ridge Suburban line. He then placed an order with the Pullman Car Company of Chicago to manufacture cars for the new Scranton Suburban Railway Company. Construction began on July 6, 1886 with the grading of the center of streets along the route. By mid-November the line was completed and the first ride was offered on November 29 with Van DePoele at the controls. Everything ran very smoothly until Van DePoele advanced the speed as it crossed Wyoming Avenue on Spruce Street and by the time it got to Adams Avenues, there was a blowout and the ride ended. Upon examination of the motor car, it was discovered that a nail was picked up during transit and blamed for the short circuit. However, all was repaired for the next days ride, and on November 30, car No. 4 completed its first successful round trip to Green Ridge. The operation over the entire line was considered a complete triumph and the Scranton Suburban Railway Company became the worlds first commercially viable electric streetcar operation. In its almost seven decades of existence, it had 183 trolley cars, over 100 miles of track, and carried over 33 million passengers, earning the city of Scranton its well known moniker - the Electric City.

CRANTON The 125th Anniversary celebration of the first commercially successful electric streetcar is the first event in an effort to revive Scrantons history The anniversary ceremony took place Sunday, June 19, at the Electric City Trolley Museum, 300 Cliff St., Scranton, and served as a reminder to all how important those trolleys were to Scranton.
Its wonderful to be here today and wonderful to be a part of a ceremony of our community that is so tied to
the evolution of our community, Lackawanna County Commissioner Mike Washo said. What were celebrating today is our role in the development of transportation in America. Scranton was one of the leading cities during the Industrial Revolution with coal mines, steam engines, and trolleys. In fact, Scrantons electric street car was not just the first successful street car to carry passengers. It was also the longest operating car in the United States. Mayor Chris Doherty, who had just returned from a mayoral conference in Israel, was elated to join a celebration that represented Scrantons
history in such a positive light. Its two different worlds (Israel and the U.S.), but they both share pride and vibrant history. Throughout the rest of the year, the Trolley Museum will be open to all guests. Films about trolleys will be shown, and photo displays and a childrens play room are all available to visitors. November 30 marks the date that the first trolley car carried passengers on a complete, successful trip, and residents can experience some of that excitement all year. Trips to see the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees at PNC Field are just one part of the updated services available. The next run is Sunday, July 10, when the Yankees play the Rochester Red Wings, at 1:05 p.m. The trolley will depart at 12:15 p.m. from the Steamtown Platform.

y Pixars own standards, Cars, the scenic animated amble on the backroads of the Roadrunners desert Southwest, was the companys worst film. Laugh-starved and lacking much in the line of action, it was a triumph of toy sales and product tie-in (NASCAR) over motion picture. Cars 2 overcompensates for those get off the fast track midlife-crisis musings but does so in an often funny and action-packed James Bond goes racing comedy. They turn more of the story over to the comic relief, the dopey tow truck Tow Mater, and get a sillier, more kid-friendly movie out of it.
In a Bond-style opening gambit, we see a scheme involving deep-sea oil rigs, a mystery pursued by Her Majestys Secret Service. Agent Finn McMissile (Michael Caine) drags the inexperienced Holley Shiftwell (Emily Mortimer, Caines Harry Brown co-star) along on the chase. Mater (amusingly voiced by Larry the Cable Guy) is still in Radiator Springs, longing for those occasional visits from his stock-car-racer pal, Lightning McQueen. Hes a drawling hick of an embarrassment to McQueen (Owen Wilson), but at least he goads the Piston Cup champ into entering a world grand-prix race series sponsored by Sir Miles Axlerod (Eddie Izzard), who is promoting his new alternative fuel Allinol. But as McQueen and his road crew get into the racing and into

You obviously have plenty of experience in the field, McMissile observes. Well, I do live right next to one, Mater drawls back. Somebody is plotting to ruin this racing series, and at every
turn, infamously ugly lemons from the automotive past (AMC Gremlins and Pacers, Yugos called Hugos here) are car-napping our heroes and causing wrecks in Tow-kyo, Italy and London. What might their motives be, and who could be their boss? Bad guys must be foiled, Mater must figure out where his competence lies, and Lightning has to realize that Whoever finds a friend, finds a treasure. Vintage Pixar messages. And as in the first Cars, Cars 2 is jammed with homages to vintage motoring from Mini Coopers to Fiats, a Rolls Royce to a NASCAR Monte Carlo. This is a cartoon for the Top Gear dad to drag the kids to. But unlike the first Cars, the kids wont mind this time. This Pixar product is better than the toys they sell along with it.

greeably off-color and endlessly inappropriate, the Cameron Diaz comedy Bad Teacher makes a homecoming bonfire of schoolroom pieties and drags heroiceducator yarns into the boys bathroom for a swirlie.
Diaz plays Elizabeth Halsey, a Chicago-area middle school instructor whose back-to-school supplies include stiletto heels, airplane bottles of Jack Daniels and a wardrobe clingier than the shrink wrap on a CD. Her classroom philosophy is Leave Every Child Behind, conserv-
ing her energy for extracurricular pursuits. Her ambition is to land a rich dupe who will take her far from the backpack brigade and the frumps and trolls in the Teachers Lounge. A likely prospect is substitute teacher Simon Delacorte (Justin Timberlake), a preppy nimrod with oodles of family money. Reeling him in proves tough, even for a nine-faced Machiavellian.

Punch). Elizabeth is convinced that shes just a boob job away from stealing Simon from the curvaceous Amy. Her schemes to finance the operation on a teachers salary provide a vehicle for some scurrilous but rather funny gags. The film pulls the neat trick of shifting our
sympathies from the wronged but insufferably self-righteous do-gooder to her nemesis, who is catty and calculating but not quite heartless or psychotic. Director Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) has pulled together a fine, kooky supporting cast. Jason Segel plays a gym teacher who just might unclog the stopped-up septic tank of Elizabeths heart; if you cant see the ending from 12 blocks away, you will have to stay after class. Bad Teacher is Diazs show, however, and she contributes a performance that doesnt feel like it came from the stock comedy character catalog. This one may not sit at the head of the class, but it earns a smattering of gold stars.

Have you ever been out to eat and had a sampler that was so good, you wondered if you would be able to save room for the main course? Turkey, steak, barbeque and buffalo chicken, some veggies, tuna and hummus - now thats a sampler worth bragging about! I brought the sampler from Eden A Vegan Caf, 344 Adams Ave., Scranton back to the Go Lackawanna office and shared it with my colleagues. There were three of us, and although we ate all that was mentioned in the samples, we actually ate no meat at all. Eden is a 100 percent vegetarian and vegan restaurant, meaning all products are meat and dairy free. How then, did we eat steak, turkey, and two variations of chicken? Eden uses traditional names, like steak, chicken, and so on. Owner Christian Pilosi even admits to enjoying the taste of meat.

terol free, meat free sampler? We loved it! Ive never had vegan food before, and I think this is the best chicken I have ever eaten, summer intern Matt Morgis said. I cant believe how much flavor is in that chicken. Morgis also admitted to never having hummus before, but he said he is now hooked. Editor Chris Hughes could not believe the flavor in the steak. Hughes had actually eaten one time at a vegan res-
taurant out of state. He was less than thrilled, but round two told a different tale. I would never have imagined this steak would be so good, Hughes said. As for me, I am not going to beat around the bush; I eat quit a bit of red meat. In fact, the last column I wrote was about the thrill of eating a Philly cheesesteak. So as I looked over the huge menu, I ordered the sampler for my comrades and added a
turkey club as my main dish. After all, I have a big appetite. I loved it. I actually thought that the turkey club was the real deal. I still cant understand how what I just finished eating was not turkey. When I normally order a turkey club, as funny as it sounds, I remove the bacon as Im normally not a fan. Well, I left the entire sandwich intact and ate the baconless bacon right along with the turkey club. The vegetables were also very fresh and the bread, which is bought locally, was great. The entire meal was aces, and it was good for me. No fat, no cholesterol and great taste. I felt like the three of us were eating at a backyard barbeque, sans meat. When I bring my wife, Jessica, and our two boys, Jack and Anthony, to the city for a fireworks display this week, Im sure to impress them and earn a few brownie points by taking them to Eden for a healthy, delicious meal.

OUR OPINION
SPARE US the public figures who deny corruption charges, proclaim eagerness to be heard by a jury of their peers, then reject the judgment of those peers. Spare us the A.J. Munchaks and Robert Cordaros of the world. Both men expressed surprise that a jury found them guilty on multiple charges. Former Lackawanna County Commissioner Cordaro thought it inconceivable jurors would trust the word of two other witnesses over his own. They believed Don Kalina and Al Hughes over A.J. and I, and Im really shocked by that fact, he said. Munchak - a sitting Lackawanna County Commissioner until his midnight resignation the day after his conviction was confounded to the point of contradiction. I believe in the jury system, but I just cant believe that theyd believe him over me, Munchak said of Kalina. Pre-trial, Munchak and Cordaro embraced this method of proving guilt or innocence with gusto. Their confidence bordered on cockiness. Frankly, the inability to foresee the possibility of losing speaks to their unfitness for public office. Their disbelief in the verdict after demanding a trial is, in one way, worse than the arrogance of former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella. At least Ciavarella didnt reject the jurys guilty ruling (though he did appeal). Heck, he bizarrely declared victory. Munchak and Cordaro, by contrast, spoke as though they felt a jury should have accepted their every utterance as The Word from heaven itself. The system is imperfect. Innocents are sometimes convicted; guilty are sometimes set free. But there is good reason we abide by the notion of presenting our case to our equals and not to some elite cadre of arbiters. History is littered with the abuses of such power. Public trial by jury works better than any other system the world has tried. Cordaro and Munchak have ample opportunity to prove the verdict wrong through appeal. What they do not have is any logical or moral basis to question the jurys judgment after insisting upon it. Quite literally, they got what they asked for.

Lackawanna County Republican Party Chairman Lance Stange, Jr., said five minutes after the guilty verdict was handed down against Munchak and former commissioner Robert Cordaro, his phone rang consistently for about three or four hours. The Republican Party received 27 applications and conducted interviews with 18 potential candidates at the Ramada Clarks Sum-
mit Hotel, 820 Northern Blvd., S. Abington Twp., on Saturday, June 25. Jermyn Mayor Bruce Smallacombe, South Abington Township Auditor and current commissioner candidate Bill Jones, and Scranton entrepreneur Steven Scarpetta emerged as the top three nominees. Notably missing from the interviews was Republican commissioner candidate Pat OMalley, the top vote recipient on the GOP side in the May primary election. He said party leaders suggested he submit his name. I just feel in my own heart that I would like to be able to run for the office. I want to be elected to the office, OMalley, the vice president of the Scranton School Board whose term ends in December, said on Thursday. OMalley cited a variety of unfinished business on the school board as a major reason for completing his term. The district recently closed two elementary schools, will open another in August, and must decide the fate of another building that was discovered to have high levels of mold in October 2010.
He felt that the position should be given to someone who is not already seeking the office through the electoral process. The nominees names will be turned over Monday to the Court of Common Pleas, according to Stange. Im sure the court sees the need for a minority commissioner, he said, predicting that the process will continue to move in a timely manner. Stange said earlier in the week that he does not believe the conviction of the first Republican majority commissioners in nearly 20 years will affect the outcome of the November general election. The Republican Party is against corruption, Stange said. I think its unfair to paint everyone with a broad brush based on the actions of two individuals out of the 213,000 people in Lackawanna County. I dont believe its a problem with a particular political party. Its a problem of power. For too long, too much power has been placed in the hands of too few people.

SCRANTON A lifelong Scranton resident believes that the culture of corruption that has consumed Northeastern Pennsylvania is one that exists on its own as an economic force that few dare to tamper with. Robert Schmidt, Ph.D., 28, of West Scranton, received his doctorate degree in sociology from SUNY Binghamton in 2010. He is currently working to transform his dissertation titled Revitalization and its Discontents: The Political and Symbolic Economy of Post-Anthracite Scranton into a book. My basic argument is that rather than attracting industry, politics has sort of become our venue of attracting economic development through public subsidies, Schmidt said Friday. Politics, he contends, is an essential component of the economy of Northeastern Pennsylvania and has been so for so many years. It has now come to the point that the culture exists independent of the
area and its residents. Public employment is the most coveted form of livelihood around here because its the most secure. I would much rather work as a public employee in a secure, unionized job than I would in private employment where its insecure and you dont know if the job is going overseas, he said. Because our economy is geared towards using politics as a venue, people arent in a position to overthrow this system of graft and corruption. People dont want to overthrow it. They want a greater portion of it. The culture, Schmidt said, is hardly an example of a few bad apples sort of spoiling the bunch, such as the case of former Lackawanna County Commissioners Robert Cordaro and A.J. Munchak who were convicted Tuesday of a combined 26 counts of public corruption including tax fraud, bribery and extortion. Rather, he believes it is systemic, durable and widely accepted as the way business is done in the area.
The public really isnt all that outraged over the Cordaro/Munchak scandal. Its just another day in Lackawanna County, he said. The irony is that we know its corrupt, but we really dont care. The costs of accepting a corrupt culture are immediate and financial, Schmidt said. We are strapped with millions upon millions of dollars of debt. All of those projects that Cordaro grafted and other politicians are grafting on are paid for by the taxpayers. Its compounding the problem of deficits, of structural red ink, but its also tarnishing the area, he said. While building projects bring employment opportunities, the area is left with a reputation for its renowned levels of sometimes unsavory decisions. The choice, according to Schmidt, is whether to be ethical or profitable. It may not even be desirable to change because you would have to fundamentally alter the economy, Schmidt said.

witness probed
By MATT MORGIS Go Lackawanna intern
SCRANTON Scranton police are currently investigating a vandalism incident linked to a key government witness in the trial of Robert Cordaro and A.J. Munchak. According to Scranton Police Lt. Martin Crofton, officers were called to the Thomas J. Hughes Funeral Home early Thursday morning. The business is owned by Al Hughes. Officers discovered the word RAT spray-painted on the front door of the building, porch furniture, company signs, a garage door and two vehicles. If necessary the full resources of the U.S. Department of Justice and its sister law enforcement agencies will be used to protect federal witnesses against the bullying, cowardly and destructive conduct that was reflected in this incident, United States Attorney Peter J. Smith said in a press release issued Friday.

Having worked with the now convicted former commissioner to illustrate government at work, Brauerwassurprisedwhencharges were first levied against the former Republican majority leaders in March 2010. But Brauer also knows a key member of the prosecution team that worked to prove Cordaro and Munchaks guilt in accepting bribes and kickbacks in a pay-toplay scheme involving county contracts. HewasaninternwithAssistant U.S. Attorney Lorna Graham while he studied pre-law at the University of Scranton before turning to political science. She was very professional and
ruption has done wonderful things for this area. It has been a form of artificial life support. In contrast, as cities and counties have been challenged to become more entrepreneurial, it has fallen on elected officials to play the role of both developer and politician. In Cordaros case, Schmidt said, the temptation to accept and in some cases allegedly demand finders fees for county contracts was too great. Cordaro was in a position where he wasnt well-coached. He didnt have people around him telling him what to do, and he sort of became power drunk. But it also comes down to a
professional choice. Munchak, according to Schmidt, saw his opportunities and took them. He wasnt a victim of Bobby CordaroThe whole time he was his sidekick. They were a teamI would say that he was very much a part of it, Schmidt said. The culture is so diverse that it has evolved to include different paths to corruption, including some who become honest grafters - those who are more selfless in their operation by using public resources to fund projects that benefit residents and enrich friends rather than themselves, according to Schmidt. We have to ask, what is the underlying force here? Schmidt said. Youre going to see that this problem that we attribute to one individual has a lot of different fingerprints on it.

to Lackawanna, took care of the academic work they needed to conquer on the junior college level and were able to continue into the four-year college and/or professional sports ranks. Officially, Sean Barowski of Harrisburg Bishop McDevitt received the Pennsylvania Most Valuable Player award for the game. That, however, was simply a case of media members being asked to vote on the selection early in the fourth quarter, a process in place at many championship and all-star events, which often does not cause any problems. Sullivan already had done enough to receive some of the votes at that point and it is hard to believe that, after leading Pennsylvanias best offensive stretches throughout the fourth quarter, he would not have received most of them if the process had been delayed until the contest actually was complete. Basically, it was about pride, Sullivan said. I never give up no matter what the score is. The make-up of the game, with Ohio taking a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and
extending it to 35-7 by early in the third quarter, created chances for some and took them away from others. Morgan Craig of Abington Heights, the only Lackawanna County high school player to appear in the game, was positioned to be the top tight end for Pennsylvania. The all-star game rules, however, encouraged Pennsylvania to often go with four receivers and one running back and the team went that route even more as it tried to overcome a mounting deficit. While tight end play became almost irrelevant, the corps of wide receivers was put to use whenever Pennsylvania quarterbacks could find enough time to pass. Sullivan proved to be, by far, the most effective of that group. He led the receivers of both teams with six catches for 118 yards, including a 22-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. I tried to put the team on my back and keep fighting, Sullivan said. While most of the other Big 33 players move on to their final college destination, Sullivan will come to Scranton, looking to keep up the fight in terms of maintaining interest from Division I schools. Ive been up for a few visits, he said. It seems like a real hard-fighting organization. Its a hard-working team with good enthusiastic coaching. simulated game, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Dream Game being broadcast online The Northeast Pennsylvania Football (NPF) Network has announced plans to do an Internet audio broadcast of the 77th annual Dream Game July 27 at Scranton Memorial Stadium at 8 p.m. We are very honored to be involved in the Dream Game, Chris Kucharski, owner of the NPF Network, said.

The Little League Baseball allstar tournament season arrived this week. District 17 and District 32, which both cover Lackawanna County, got Little League (11-12 year-olds) and 9-10-year-old softball tournaments underway with action Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The 910-year-old baseball tournaments in both districts kicked off Friday night. By the time the district tournament schedule concludes July 25, Districts 17 and 32 will each produce five champions in baseball and three in softball. The extra champions in baseball come in the 10-11-year-old division and on the Senior League level where the districts do not have softball tournaments. There are no changes on the district level this season. The first differences in Little League tournament play will be noticed when the two local districts join Districts 16 and 31 from Luzerne County for Section 5 play. All tournaments stayed the same with the exception that sections will be double-elimination for boys and girls, District 17 and 32 information officer Marty Ort said. In the past, the section tournaments started with a round-robin before moving to elimination games. Ort said all boys sectional tournaments will be held at Lackawanna County sites this season with all of the girls tournaments being held in Luzerne County. The Lackawanna County leagues will not be hosting any of the state tournaments this season. For the second straight year, the Christy Mathewson League will host regional play for 9-10-year-old softball in August. In most tournament progressions, regional tournaments help state champions try to land World Series berths, but 910-year-old softball is still in the development stage so the regional event is the furthest that the teams can advance. Ort said when the tournament made its debut at Christy Mathewson last summer, nine of the11eligible states sent teams.

Morgan eventually regained control for the final 19 seconds of the round. Hes real good with his Jiu Jitsu, Morgan said. Hes the highest-level guy Ive fought. I knew I had to grind it out. Morgan had one fight fall through and missed another because of injury since his pro debut. He also was 3-0 as an amateur and never had gone more than six months between bouts since taking up the sport after college. I have to get better, said Morgan, who will meet Steven Baker of Delaware on the July card. Ive got to get right back in the gym. Theres no time for rest. If Im going to make an impact, its got to be now. Morgan won one of the four professional fights on the card. Joel Roberts (10-3) won his second straight main event with a toehold tapout of Bret Thomas at 3:53 of the second round in the bantamweight finale. Chase Owens and Scott Heckman each improved to 11-2 with wins in the first two pro fights. Owens beat Dwight Grant by a single point on all three cards. It was a tough battle, he said. Heckman had the fastest win of the night in 37 seconds against Casey Johnson, a North Carolina fighter who had won his first two bouts.

SCRANTON Cage Fight 8 at Riverfront Sports turned into a series of tactical Mixed Martial Arts bouts with nine of 13 going the distance. Steve Wilson had other plans. Harry Dickey had the Scranton middleweight off the ground with an early takedown attempt, but Wilson knew the result of his fight was hardly up in the air. Wilson locked his legs around Dickey, sunk in a chokehold and held on until he got a tapout 39 seconds into one of the two bouts that was decided in the opening minute. Thats the third straight that I won with the guillotine, said Wilson, who is 4-2 as an amateur with all of his wins coming in the first round via chokeholds. Two of them were set up the same way. He was going in for the takedown and I slipped in the guillotine.
Wilson briefly considered a different approach to ending a fight. I stunned him with a 1-2, Wilson said. I didnt know if I should go for a knockout. But, I got it in nice and deep. All I had to do is lock up the legs. It was in deep. I heard him breathing funny. I knew it was only a matter of time before he would tap out. Wilson was one of two amateur winners from Scranton. Adam Bisignani posted a unanimous decision over Mike Colon, a Kingston, N.Y., bantamweight who had won his first three fights. Bisignani was on top of Colon for most of the first and third rounds, controlling action. Jason Colarusso and Mukhielelin Milazov both suffered losses. Colarusso lost a split decision to Dave Spadell Jr. in the final amateur bout and the most action-filled one on the
card. Spadell used his boxing advantage, including a one-punch knockdown in the third round, to wind up with the slight edge. It was the third time in the fight that Spadell appeared to take charge with his boxing, only to have Colarusso come back strong each time. He has a great chin, Spadell said. Josh Blockus of Kingston ruined Milazovs debut with a unanimous decision in their heavyweight bout. Blockus had Milazov on his back for more than half the fight and was able to withstand a series of kicks by Milazov in the third round. Wilson had one of just two stoppages on the amateur card. Ian Brofsky, a recent Wallenpaupack High School graduate, had the other when he got an early takedown and worked himself into position for an arm triangle tapout by John Balazinski in 1:01.

SCRANTON - North East Pennsylvania Miners head coach Dan LaMagna said Thursday afternoons press conference marked a stepping-stone for his players and for the organization. For Austin Scott, it marked one more opportunity to put on his pads. Scott, a former Penn State running back from 2003-07, signed with the
NEPA Miners of the semi-professional Major League Football Conference Thursday at The Mall at Steamtown in Scranton. Im happy to get back and be playing in the area, said Scott, whose family resides in the Scranton area. The Miners were set to kick off their fifth season at 7 p.m. Saturday at Nanticoke High School against the Electric City Chargers.
Signing Scott was a major accomplishment and an added boost to the team, according to LaMagna. Hes somebody who is serious about football, said LaMagna. Its a huge impact to our team and our community. We have a gentleman here who has played at the highest (collegiate) level. He was also impressed with the work ethic Scott displayed at a recent
tryout. Hes going to raise the standard for us at practice, even before we get to the games, LaMagna said. Guys are going to push to get to that level, and its going to make our team better and result in wins on the weekends. Scott, who also works for his uncles construction company in Scranton,

to give Penn State a 23-16 lead. In doing so, Scott became just the 11th running back in Penn States bowl history to eclipse100 yards, according to his profile on gopsusports.com. Thursdays signing comes almost four years after he was kicked off the football team by Joe Paterno in October of 2007 amid sexual assault allegations. The charges, filed by Desiree Minder, were dropped six months later before the case went to trial, when a judge ruled jurors would have to hear Minder had accused another man of sexual assault in 2003. The man was acquitted of all charges. Scott and his attorney filed a civil lawsuit against Penn State, the university police, prosecutors and Minder in October of 2009. The lawsuit claims the prosecution tried to hide evidence of the other allegation. The lawsuit also alleges university police destroyed notes made by officers who handled the case, then altered their incident reports. The lawsuit is currently under review by a summary judge. Its definitely tough to move on from a situation like that, Scott said. From being a Penn State football player to, within a matter of less than12 hours, being kicked off the team. Its been tough, but Im trying my best not to look back and move forward. Scott signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent following the 2008 NFL Draft but was released during the pre-season. In 2010, he played overseas in the German Football League with the Braunschweig Lions, finishing with 233 carries for 1,502 yards and11touchdowns. He also hauled in eight kickoffs for 125 yards.

was unsure if he wanted to continue to pursue another shot at playing football despite being recruited by LaMagna and conference rival Lehigh Valley Storm. The offer the Miners gave him, though, was something he had trouble declining. They offered full health care, Scott said. Finances have taken a backseat for a couple years now. Im getting older and Im starting to focus on my future, not only as a football player but as a human being. This job allows me to work on a career and also have fun playing football and help the community. As a senior at Parkland High School in Allentown, Scott set Pennsylvania state records with 3,853 total yards -- fourth-highest total in national H.S. history -- and 53 touchdowns while on his way to a PIAA Class 4A title. He was selected as a second team All-American by USA Today and first team All-State by the Associated Press. During his first season as a Nittany Lion in 2003, Scott led the team with 435 yards on 100 carries. He ended his junior season with a 26-23 FedEx Orange Bowl victory against Florida State, which went three overtime periods. When starting running back Tony Hunt left the game due to an ankle injury, Scott carried the load of Penn States rushing attack with a game-high 110 yards on 26 carries. He scored two touchdowns, including his oneyard run in the second overtime
