ScrantonCity Council-man BobMcGoffhit thenail on thehead.

“Council isnot going to solve it on theirown. The mayor is not going tosolveitonhisown,andPELisn’tgoing to solve it. It has to be a

joint effort. Otherwise, we aredoomed to failure,” he said dur-ing council’s Tuesday meeting.

“It” is thecity’s crippling bud-get deficit which seems tochange by the day or by the au-thority that presents the latestinformation.

That’s not because the infor-

mation from any source is bad.It’s because the data keeps get-ting worse.

Thelatest figures putus close

to $8.2 million in the hole, ac-cording to the PennsylvaniaEconomy League, the adminis-trator of the city’s distressedmunicipalities plan.

WhileI believe thenumbers, Ithinkthe excuse to borrow moremoney PEL recently presentedin a letter to the city is a poorone. It’s borrowing, in the formof a Tax Anticipation Note,that’s spelling disaster this year.

A $9 million paymentrealistical-ly could not be met, preventing futureTAN loans to aidthe city.

Were it not for an $11 million

TAN note paid earlier this yearto settle 2010 debts, weprobably

wouldn’t be in the mess in thefirst place.

Thecitymustprioritize, butitcannot do so in a childish fash-ion where one party sits in thecornerwithtearsin their eyes inorder to get their way. The planmust be collaborative and,above all, it should be done in apublic forum.

Agendas for parks must beabandoned in lieu of more cru-cial services due to all Scranto-nians. While I don’t agree withCouncil President Janet Evans’comparison between a shakyfoundation andplaying on a jun-gle gym because it loses impact

in the faceof humor, she is rightthat the city’s future cannot bebuilt on the small number of property values raised by a few

parks and trees.Recreation is fine, but who

willbe driving tothe parkwhenthe streetlights are out andcrime is on the rise?

We don’t need a “parks may-or” or a bitter legislative arm.

We need answers, and the rightones won’t come through sub-mitted plans, rejected amend-ments, and overridden vetoes.

Thatplan,we’veseen, hasfailed.Real government takes collab-

oration,but we’ve trodden downthis road too far for too long todetermine who’s at fault for tak-ing the ball and going home.

We deserve better from all of our elected officials.

By my count, they have two

months to deliver it in the formof 2012’s proposed budget.Get itdonetheright way – to-

gether.

Scranton needs a collaborative solution

hile an audit of the city’s

federal funds may have

improved the way it re-ports on community andeconomic

development programs, abound-

ing concerns from the Department

of Housing and Urban Develop-

ment put the city’s neighborhood

police patrol under a microscope

that some say cost 13 officers their

jobs last month.

A federal inspector general’sreport published in Nov. 2010outlined $11.7 million of “ques-tioned costs” regarding federalfunding provided to the city of

Scranton,but theOffice of Eco-nomic and Community Devel-opmenthas made strides toim-prove the way it documentscash flow to supported pro-grams, OECD Executive Direc-tor Linda Aebli said Thursday.

Many of those initiativeshave worked, but there is con-cern over the implementationof a Neighborhood Police Pa-troland thecitystill must prove

that it used a small portion of that money appropriately, ac-cording to a monitoring reviewsent from the HUD dated Aug.5.

The city must repay up to$106,336 in federal CommunityDevelopment Block Grantfunds from local accounts if itcannot prove that the projectsfall within federal guidelines.

Those projects include con-struction damage to the roof of a buildingadjacentto theCaseyGarage on Lackawanna andAdams Avenues totaling $49,500 paid for by the Scran-

ton Redevelopment Authority;administrative fees paid to theArchitectural Heritage Associ-ationof $10,000; administrativecosts of $24,529 paid to Penn’s

Northeast, an economic devel-opment partnership; and par-tial salary payments of at least$22,307.60to the city’s directorof Licensing,Inspection, & Per-mits from 2007 to 2010.

OECD has the right to re-spond to each of those claimson or before Oct. 9, and Aeblidrafted a response letter on

SCRANTON – For thesecondconsecutive meeting, Lacka-

wanna County Commissionersapprovedtwo piecesof baseball-related legislation on Wednes-day, including a managementcontract that will further theplanned $40 million recon-struction of PNC Field.

The first was an agreementbetween the county, the Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority, andPNC Bank that will utilize thecounty’shoteltax earningsto se-cure notesusedto refund theau-thority’s debt as well as providenew funding for stadium im-provements, according to Mi-chael Vind, the county’s finan-cial advisor.

“This, in no way, shape orform, obligates the county forany liability on the notes,” Vind

noted, adding that this includesno fees or cost to the county.

Commissioners CoreyO’Brien and Mike Washo votedin favor while Bruce Small-acombe abstained because he“did not see the numbers aheadoftime” and felthe did not haveenough information at thattimeto vote.

The commissioners alsounanimously approved a con-struction management contract

with Alvin H. Butz,Inc. ofAllen-town to oversee the demolition,renovation, and new construc-tion of thestadium. Thecompa-ny will receive a $500,000 lumpsum fee, and total pre-construc-tion costs cannot exceed$174,400. Any savings fromthese costs will revert back tothe county.

A request for proposals waspublished in November of 2010

with a due date of Dec. 3. Thecounty received 10 submissionsand interviews were conductedJan. 19 and 20 by representa-

tives of the county, the stadiumauthority, architects Ewing-Cole, and management compa-ny Mandalay Baseball Proper-ties, said county Chief of Staff Maria Elkins.

The commissioners approvedan architectural and engineer-ing design contract with Ewing-Cole onAug.24. Therenovationproject is scheduled to begin onMarch 20, 2012, and continuethrough March 5, 2013, accord-ing to a copy of the contract.

In other business, commis-sioners unanimously approvedaleaseagreement with PAHemp-stead Road Associates for ap-proximately1,820 square feet of officespace at space at theRockCreek CorporateCenter,1444 E.Lackawanna Ave., Olyphant.

The offices of Magisterial Dis-trictJudgeJohn Pesota,current-ly located at 901 Enterprise St.,

Dickson City, were purchasedby the borough last year andmust be vacated by Oct. 1, forc-ingthecountytofindanewloca-tion.

Rent for the first year will cot$2,350.83 a month and will in-crease to $2,502.50 per monththe following year, after whichthe base rent will increase 2.5percent each year on the anni-

versary of the commencementdate throughout the five-yearagreement.

Smallacombe asked why thelowest bidder wasn’t chosen,but as the commissionerscrunched the numbers, theyfound that another location

wouldonly cost about $50less amonth and it would have takenabout six weeks to move intoother facility, exceeding theOct. 1 deadline. Additionally,the Rock Creek Corporate Cen-ter providedmore suitable park-ing conditions.

“Itwasthebestdeal,giventhecurrent circumstance,” Elkinssaid.

SCRANTON – City Councildiscussed the city’s grim finan-cialsituationat length on Tues-day,suggesting the reclassifica-

tion of the city among otherstepstheyhopeto take tomendthe city’s “significant and im-mediate multi-million dollardeficit” and “mismanagement”of funds.

In a letter dated Sept. 9 andreceivedby council onSept.13,Pennsylvania Economy LeagueExecutive Director GeraldCrosssaid that thecity’s Act47distressed status coordinatorbelieves the operating budget

deficit to be $8.2 million and is“concerned” that the city willnotbe able tomakeits $9.5 mil-lion payment on its 2011 TaxAnticipation Note due Dec. 31,nor can it fund other year-endobligations, such as two regu-lar payroll periods.

“…We recommend that theCity’s governing bodies beginimmediately the process of anunfunded borrowing in theamount of $8,200,000 in order

to meet its remaining 2011 fi-nancial obligations,” Cross

wrote, adding that this will re-quire a hearing before, and theapproval of, the LackawannaCounty Court of Common

Pleas. While many cities across

Northeast Pennsylvania arefeeling the effects of the eco-nomicrecession,CouncilPresi-dent Janet Evans feels that

some of Scranton’s issues areunique to the city.

“It has no anonymous do-nors, unlike Dunmore,no land-fill business to supplement itsrevenues,unlike Taylor,and nothriving businessand shopping centers, unlike Dickson Cityand Moosic. Scranton suffersfromthe highest state-wide un-employment figures and aquarter of its steadily decreas-ingpopulationlivesat orbelow

the poverty level,” Evans ex-plained.

She heavily criticized MayorChris Doherty’s leadership,pointing out that under thecity’s19 years under distressedstatus, Doherty was on councilforfouryearsof thoseyears andhas subsequently served asmayor for 10. Duringthattime,she believes he has focusedmore money on parks andgreen space than deteriorating

infrastructure throughout thecity.

Administrative suggestionsfor new revenue, such as thesale of city-owned parking me-ters to the Scranton Parking

Authority, willnot succeed,shebelieves, as the authority is in“poor position to borrow $10million for such a purpose.”

CouncilmanBob McGoff feltthat the “blame game” for the

city’s problemswas useless andendangering thecity’sabilitytosecure TANs in the future.

“Idon’tcarewhoyoublame– we still have a problem,”McGoff said.

“We’re looking at some sce-narios that really are not good.Yes, we’ve heard rumors of more layoffs. No one wants tosee that.There’s a possibilityof paylesspaydays. Nobody wantsthat.There’s a distinct possibil-

ityof default on TAN-B. It can’thappen. There’s a distinct pos-sibility that we’ll fail to get

TANs for 2012, which meansmonths of payless paydays.And, ultimately, there’s proba-bly a possibility of out-and-outbankruptcy that exists if wecan’t solve theseproblems, andbankruptcy is not an answer.It’s not a solution.”

McGoff suggestedthat coun-cil and the mayor work togeth-

er on a joint committeeto formthe2012 budget andavoid a re-peatof lastyear’s budget battle,

which ended in both sides

Sept. 6 to notify HUD that it would. For example, Aebli saidthat the LIPs director continuesto work on CDBG projects, de-spite HUD’s opinion that theyhave “not done so in recent

years.”

Audit improves systems

While a federal audit can beoff-putting for some, Aebli hastried to view it positively.

“Do I think it’s an eye openerfor the whole office? I think it

was a good experience for usand taught us that we can’t belax,” Aebli said. “It made usmore aware of what we have todo.

“Document, document, docu-ment.If it’s not inthefile, itnev-er happened.”

Improvements have come in various forms, including the es-tablishment of checking ac-countsforeach of their federallyfunded programsrather than re-

lying solely, and sometimes in-accurately, on the IntegratedDisbursement and InformationSystem offered by HUD.

“It’s much cleaner,” Aeblisaid.

HUD officials agree.“It appears that the City is

making progress” on distin-guishingbetween HUDand oth-er federal funding sources, sup-porting CDBG expenses withdetailed accountingrecords and

supporting documentation, andpreparing budgets of projected

versus actual expenses, themonitoring review states.

It has“substantiallyimprovedits CDBG sub-recipient con-tracts” and implemented strong plansto monitor its projects,thereview continues.

Aebli said turnover in the of-fice is rapid, which HUD recog-nizedin itsfindings,anda reduc-tion in OECD salaries imposed

by council’s budget forced someto seek other employment. Fewremain with a depth of experi-ence shared by Aebli, who has

worked at OECD for 22 years,becoming its executive directorin Nov. 2007.

Concern over cops

Despite improved accounting

practices, OECD could not res-cue the city’s Neghborhood Po-lice Program, commonly re-ferred to as Comm-D Police, asthey are traditionally fundedthrough CDBG monies.

Federal monies support pro-

grams suchas neighborhoodpo-lice in low-to-moderate incomeareas, sidewalk reconstruction,and housing for the chronicallyhomeless, according to docu-ments proposing funding forsuch programs in 2011.

Both 2011 budgets proposedbyMayor ChrisDohertyand lat-er amended and approved byCity Council calledforthe useof $666,807 in federal grants tofund payroll for 13 officers this

year, marking a significant in-

crease in the city’s Comm-D offi-cers.

However, following a varietyof questions from HUD, nofunds have been dispersed to re-imburse the police departmentfor more than $427,000 in pay-roll costs from Jan.1 to Aug. 26,based on copies of neighbor-hoodpolicepay voucherssent to

city council from City Controll-er Roseann Novembrino onSept. 12.

The cityeliminated13 officersthis year, citing a growing oper-ating deficit.

“Essentially, they were theneighborhood police patrol offi-cers,” ScrantonPoliceChief DanDuffy said. “The way it worked

was they were paid directly outof our budget, but there weresome issues with HUD whereOECD couldn’t reimburse thecity.”

The departmenthas notbeen,andDuffyestimated will notbe,reimbursed at all this year.

That raised serious questionsfrom City Council about the im-plementation of future commu-

nity police programs.“You have to maintain the

2010number (ofcity funded po-lice personnel), which is what

we did in our budget, and thelegislation that accompaniedour budget keeps the numbersat the 2010 levels for police andfire. We didn’t add anybody. We

just kept it thesame andfunded

it.That’s whatyouhave todo tobeable toadd Comm-Dpeople,”Council President Janet Evanssaid in an interview Sept. 6.

Council manning clauses thatset minimum staffing levels forthe police and fire departmentshave been overlooked by thead-ministration since last year. A

judge recentlyfoundthat setting staffing levels for those publicsafety departments is an execu-tive function and one that coun-cil, the city’s legislative arm,could not impose.

The mayor has further chal-lenged council to bring him tocourt over legislation they’vepassed that they feel isn’t being followed.

Federal guidelines for CDBGstatethat a neighborhood policeprogram must be an increase inexisting, locally funded policethat has existed for 12 monthspreceding the submission of anew action plan, putting aScranton program in questionuntil at least 2013, according toAebli.

“This provision was put intoplace to ensure that localitiesdid not use CDBG funds to re-

place local or state monies tofund essential services typicallyoffered by the local governmententity,” theHUD Officeof BlockGrant Assistance handbookstates.

“There was no way to showthat they were being used in ad-dition to our regular amount of officers.Weactuallywere saving thembynotlayingthemoffbackin January,” Duffy said.

Beat vs. patrolPart ofthe newplanfor neigh-borhood police in 2011 was toplace officers in speciallymarked cars, distinguishing them from traditional officers.NPP officers were previouslybeat cops on foot or on bicyclepatrol.

“This change eliminates thebiggest distinction between theNeighborhood Police Patrol andthe regular police,” the Augustmonitoring review states. “Itcreates a major risk that Scran-ton will, at some time, cut backon thenumber of regular police.Any reduction in the number of regular police will make the en-tire expenditure of CDBG fundsfor the Neighborhood Police Pa-trol ineligible from that pointforward.”

Because the city hasn’t fund-ed theprogram with federal dol-lars, they don’t owe any cashback. Some, however, have ar-gued that the absence of federalfunding cost 13 officers their

jobs.“He (Doherty) is using theselayoffs to say, ‘We have thishugedeficit and it has to be paid.

We’ve got to save as much mon-ey as possible.’ Well, you’re notsaving a penny on those 13 po-lice officers. That’s a horse of adifferentcolor, andI don’t know

whyhe’s doing that,”Evans saidSept. 6.

Other questions originallygave Aebli pause over funding the neighborhood police.

“In the beginning, we werefinding that their paperwork

wasn’t correct,” she said. “Youhad to be a second responder.Youcan’tbe takingpeople to jailor sitting behinda desk down atheadquarters. You have to beout on the beat.”

The decision to withholdfunding, she said, was hers.

“I have the inspector generallooking atme, andI’mjustgoing to write the checks? No,” shesaid.

For now, the $666,807 pro-posed for use this year sits in anaccount held by the UnitedStates Treasury. A tentative2012 CDBG request calls for an-other $200,000 for neighbor-hood police but no money forneighborhood patrol vehicles.

“If we fund them again,they’re going back on the beatlike they were before,” Aeblisaid.

But with more cuts looming as city deficits climb and a $9million Tax Anticipation Notepayment comes ever closer, noone can be surewhen Scranton’sneighborhood police patrol willbe fundedby thefederal govern-ment again.

Doherty said Friday that he“would neverhamstring a futureadministration” with clausesand classifications over howmany police officers and fire-fighters it should have in orderto maintain funding for suchprograms.

For now, Doherty said, “Thequestion is what bills are going tobe paid and who’s going tobepaid.”

SCRANTON – The city’szoning board denied a varia-nce to Cedar Residence, Inc.after residents spoke out

against the proposed treat-ment center at 929 CedarAve., Scranton, during theirSept. 14 meeting.

The all-male facility, which began operation inMayof thisyear, helps adultsover the age of 18 and whohave recently undertakenprevious treatment for alco-hol or drug abuse problems.No violent offenders are per-mitted to the facility

The transitional facilityprovides group and one-on-one counseling along withskill building activities tohelp residents “get back ontheir feet,” said Clinical Di-rector Edward Walsh.

Thereare currently 11 resi-dents living in the treatmentcenter with about five or sixstaff members on hand.

Local resident Theresa

Shields, who lives behindthe building, had seriousconcerns about the centerand its residents.

Her 13-year-old daughtermust walk by the transition-al facility on her way toschool, and she claimed herdaughter is scared of theres-idents. She also stated thatno one has approached heror her family about the facil-ity being established.

It was also brought to theboard’s attention that CedarResidence, Inc., ExecutiveDirectorLarryRinish hadnoidea that South Scranton In-

termediate School was soclose to the personal carecenter or that children fromMcNichols Plaza werepicked up by buses at a cor-ner on the same block.

All five zoning boardmembers voted no to denythe sought variance.

In other zoning boardnews:

• A variance sought byColby Vonderheid for a cre-matorium at Kane Streetand Cemetery Avenuein Mi-nooka was unanimously de-nied. Vonderheid already op-erates a crematorium withinthe boroughof Archbald and would like to move his busi-ness closer to the Scrantonarea where most of his cli-ents are. Residents opposedthe crematorium being putup in their “backyard,”claiming declining property values and quality of life is-sues.

• The United Neighbor-hood Community Develop-ment Corporation was ap-

proved for a variance tobuild a modern townhousedevelopment from 609 to619 Cedar Avenue in an ef-fort to revitalize SouthScranton. Theproject willbeongoing for the next three years.

• Zoning board memberJimWilliams obtained unan-imous support fora variancefor a hoagie and pizza shopat 2727 N. Main Ave., Scran-

S CR AN TO N - S ch oo lboard members unanimous-l y approve d a motion atthe ir M on day, Sept. 12meeting to support the re-

institution of the Local Ec-onomic Revitalization TaxAssistance, or LERTA, act.

The district conducted apublic hearing over the pro-posed reinstatement onAug. 8 andapprovedMonday’smotion, 8-0,despite pub-l ic opposi-tion ex-pressed lastmonth.B oard Di-rector PaulO’Malley was absent.

LERTA isa tool for fu-ture taxgenerationthat provides devel-

opers with areal estatetax freeze. The district ap-proved the resolution con-ditionally as it “cannot ini-tiate, implement or admin-ister this program” as thosefunctions fall outside theirscope of expertise. Devel-opers will now have to seekapproval from either thecity of Scranton or Lacka- wanna County to be imple-

mented. The proposal was sought

by developers who wish tobuild a senior housing com-plex on Delaware Streetand Dickson Avenue in thecity’s Green Ridge section.

The previous LERTA pro-g ra m wa s d is so lve d i n2003, district solicitor Har-ry McGra th s aid la stmonth, and was the genesisbehind the Mall at Steam-town.

Wilkes-Barre-based Atty.Frank Hoegen, who repre-

sents Affordable SeniorHousing Opportunities of New York, Inc., said Tues-d ay that the group w as“thrilled” that the districtapproved the proposal.

Hoegen said he intends

to send copies of the dis-trict’s resolutions to solic-itors serving Scranton andLac kawann a C ou nty toseek their approval and op-portunities to speak publi-

c ly aboutthe group’splans.

During publiccomment,ScrantonFederationof Te ac h-e rs Pre si -dent Ro -semary Bo-land ques-tioned thedistrict’slack of public re-ports fromthe Labor

RelationsCommitteefor “months.”

“That’s perplexing be-cause there’s a whole lot of labor relations in questionaround here, and there’snever been a report,” Bo-land said.

In oth er busin ess, theboard u nani mously ap-proved a resolution to keeptax rate increases for the

2012 calendar year by nomore than the 1.4 percentbase index set by the Penn-sylvania Department of Education.

The district also appoint-ed Corey McNulty as an as-sistant boys’ soccer coachat We st Scranton HighSchool; and hired part-timeart teacher Sarah Strong,school psychologist SophieGen el lo, and part- ti meparaprofessional TiffanyMegotz.

SCRANTON SCHOOL BOARD

District givesgo-ahead to LERTABy CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES

[email protected]

The district took time duringtheir Sept. 12 meeting to recog-

nize the contributions of thelate Howard Ufberg, formerowner of Starr Uniform Compa-ny, who passed away on July 11.“This kind and generous mannot only ran a program thatdiscounted uniforms for stu-dents on free and reducedlunches but also donated freeuniforms to students and fam-ilies who showed the greatestneed,” the resolution reads.Ufberg’s wife, Marcia, was pre-sent to accept the honoraryresolution.

UFBERG HONORED

SCRANTON – City

Council unanimous-

ly gave final passage

to implement a consolidat-

ed submission for commu-

nity planning and develop-

ment programs to be fund-

ed under the federal Com-

munity Development Block

Grant, Home Investment

Partnership, and Emergen-

cy Shelter Grant programs

on Tuesday. The U.S. Department of

Housing and Urban Develop-ment informed the city via aJune 3 letter that CDBG overallfunding was reduced by over$600 million, resultingin alloca-tion reductions of approximate-ly 16.5 percent, while HOMEfunding was reduced by over$200 million, or about 11.7 per-cent.

This forced the city to reeval-uateits proposal for eligible pro-

jects in 2011, and after review,council made their own amend-ments to the legislation beforepassage.

Council reduced funds tothe planned Novembrino

splash park by $150,000, theClover Field Playground by$150,000, the United Neigh-borhood Center’s ProjectHope by $21,850 and the cen-ter’s condemnation assistanceby $9,200, the Boys & GirlsClub Park It program by$15,600, and the Deutsch In-stitute by $300.

Council increased funds forpolice vehicles by $141,000, pro-

jects by the Pinebrook Neigh-borhood Association by$35,000, and moneytowards fix-ing blighted properties by$170,950, balancing total reduc-tions with total additions by$346,950.

Councilman Frank Joyce saidhewas notin directcontactwiththe city’s Office of Economicand Community Development

when the amendments weredrafted, but said that city clerkNancy Krake was in contact

with OECD Executive DirectorLinda Aebli.

“Making this amendment in-

volved tough decisions. Person-ally, I wish no cuts had to bemade. Over the past year, I, as

well many ofmy colleagues,hadtheopportunityto hear many of the concerns of residents, andfrom hearing the concerns of such residents, it’s evident thatpeople are primarily concernedabout public safety in theirneighborhoods. This is the pri-mary reason why this amend-

ment is being proposed to-night,” Joyce explained. The proposal for 2012 HUD

funding wasalso approvedon itsfirst reading on Tuesday. A pub-lichearingonthesefundswillbeheldbeforecouncil’s nextsched-uled meeting on Sept. 20, start-

ing at 6 p.m., allowing citizens

to comment on how they feelthe money should be spent be-fore final passage.

Citizens in attendance on Tuesday did bring up concernsabout public safety cuts and af-fected responsetimes. Addition-ally, they mentioned rumorsthat more police officersmay becut by the end of the year in or-der to save the city money.

“In most cases, on average,

the crime is already committed.Response time is definitely im-portant, but our response timehasnot been jeopardized as a re-sult ofthe loss ofpersonnel,”Po-lice Chief Dan Duffy responded

when asked for comment on Wednesday.

claiming the other was respon-sible for 2011’s budget deficit. The banking community’s con-cern, he said, is that both sidescannot work together, making them unwilling to loan the cityany more money.

“Council is not going to solveitontheirown.Themayorisnotgoing tosolveit onhis own,andPEL isn’t goingto solve it. It hasto be a joint effort. Otherwise,

we are doomed to failure,” he

said.Evans said the banks are

equally concerned about the re-sultof the city’s independentau-ditby Robert Rossi& Co., whichhasagain been delayed this yearbecause oflatereportsby city of-ficials.

“The bank wants the audit. Well, as we all know, there is noaudit because the departmentheads refuse to provide the in-formation to the auditors. Now,

wecanconjectureas towhy thatis andwhat that hasbeen occur-ring each year. Frankly, I feel it’sdone purposely and it’s arriving later and later and later each

year so that banks will not seethe city’s audits before they

agree to provide TANs,” Evanssuggested.

Councilman Frank Joyceagreed that there must be morecooperation with the mayor, butsaid he wants to see them bemore open and honest withcouncil. After he and Evans re-cently met with Business Ad-ministrator Ryan McGowan,Po-lice Chief Dan Duffy, and unionrepresentatives, he said he hasagreed with “about half” of theadministration’s suggestionsbut wants to see PEL’s input be-fore a budget “is dropped incouncil’s lap” with further sug-gested layoffs.

“At this point, you can lay off the entire city of Scranton and

we would not be able to makethat payment with the deficitthat we are currently facing un-less we follow the past proce-dure of using the next year’s

TAN to pay the previous TAN, which we do not want to do,”Joyce said.

Doherty’s proposed 2011 bud-get eliminated 32 firefightersand 10 police officers, thoughmost of those layoffs were pre-

vented in council’s amendedbudget. Ultimately, the mayorlaid off eight firefighters and 13police officers on Aug. 29.

Evans asked city clerk NancyKrake and council solicitorBoyd Hughes to send a letter toGov. Tom Corbett requesting of-

ficial certification of the 2010census for the city, which is thefirststepin theprocessof chang-ing the classification of Scran-ton as a Class 2A city. This

would enable the city to levy a

commuter tax and payroll tax,shesaid, as wellas potentially al-ter the structure of city govern-ment.

“Although Scranton is the on-ly Class 2A city (in the state), itno longer hasa population to re-tain this classification,” Evanssaid,adding thatsome business-es, such as banks, do not cur-rently pay business taxes toScranton, but would be subjectto the payroll tax.

“As experienced in Pitts-burgh, a payroll tax abolishesmercantile and business privi-lege taxes and lessons the bur-den on small business while itforcesbig business topay itsfairshare. Scranton cannot surviveby increasing its current taxes.”

When reached for commenton Friday, Doherty said he willsubmit a “balanced plan” tocouncil on Tuesday to addressthe city’s financial issues. Thelegislators, he added, carry “amorethan equal role”in making decisions about the budget andthedirectionof thecity,alluding to council’s four-vote superma-

jority and their power to amendhis fiscal plan.

TUNKHANNOCK - TheSusquehanna River floodedstreets of downtown Tunk-hannock last week, as a re-sult of the Tropical StormLee, forcing many local busi-nesses to close their doors,including Gay’s True Value

Hardware, Bridge StreetMarket, Brick’s Supermar-ket and the Dietrich Thea-ter.

As a result of non-stopcommunity support, someof those businesses will notbe closed for long.

Dietrich Theater Execu-tive Director Hildy Morgansaid there were dozens of people cleaning up the messthe storm caused when she

arrived at the theater Fri-day, Sept. 9, and many re-turned earlier this week.

Volunteers ranged fromindividuals to groups like

Tunkhannock High Schoolbasketball and footballteams and class of 2014.

“Their generosity with us,the time and effort, has justbrought us to tears morethan once in the last fewdays. It’s just been incredi-ble, and we’re just so grate-ful,” said Morgan.

Members of the communi-

ty started pitching in Thurs-day afternoon, Sept. 8, tak-ing the seats out of the thea-ters and storing them in asafe place during the storm.On Monday, volunteers

were busy reinstalling theseats and cleaning in prep-aration for the grand reo-pening, which was set forSept. 16.

The Dietrich will reopenin time for the 2011 Fall FilmFestival opening night gala.In addition to volunteers,Morgan credited employeeErica Rogler for helping thetheater to avoid cancelling or delaying the event.

“Honestly, the best thing in the world that happened

was Erica, who’s actually aPenn State graduate in engi-neering and is our culturaldirector. She just knew whatto do. She knew what to tellpeople to do,” said Morgan.

While much progress hastaken place, they are still farfrom finished with the floodeffects.

The storm ruined t heHVAC system in two of theDietrich’s four theaters andthat they will need to be re-placed before winter.

“What we need more than

anything in the world rightnow is donations,” said Mor-gan. “If we don’t get thatsystem in, we would be ruin-ed, because we need fourtheaters to run the program-ming.”

Morgan estimated theDietrich will need to raiseapproximately $100,000 topay for the new system andmake up for the income lostbeing closed.

Tax deductible donationscan be sent to Dietrich The-ater, 60 E. Tioga St., Tunk-hannock, Pa., 18657.

A number of business andhome owners in the Tunk-hannock area are still clean-ing and repairing damage.

Those interested in volun-teering can call (570) 836-2828, or visit the DisasterCenter set up at the Tunk-hannock Area School Dis-trict Administration Build-ing, located at 41 Philadel-phia Ave.

Biden arrived in Duryea atabout 9:35 a.m. for a nearlytwo-hour tour of flood-damaged ar-easin theborough.

Biden’s message seemed to

have gotten through to the peo-ple who have been cleaning outafter Tropical Storm Lee’s rain-fall causedthe Lackawanna Riv-ertooverflowitsbanksandpourinto their homes and lives.

“I’ve been in Duryea four orfive times since the flooding,and this is the first time I’veseen these people smile,”Bar-letta said. “I think the vicepresident being here is greatand his visit has given them

hope.” The first home Biden visit-

edwas at100 Chittenden St.–a three-unit building at thecorner of Walnut Street. Jim-my and Kathy Pliska own thebuilding and are struggling todecide if they’ll move back tothehouse built by Jimmy Plis-ka’sgreat-grandparents.

When Biden walked in andsaw the damage, he said,

“Wow.”“Hang on. Thisis notimetogive up,” Biden said. Hewouldrepeat that encouragement toeveryone he met.

The flooding was so bad,Pliska, 47, and his wife, Kath-leen, 48, have all but decidedto sell the house and movethemselvesand theirchildren,James, 12, and Julia, 11, else-

where.“We’ll probably board it up

and maybe a contractor willbuy it and turn it into apart-ments,” he said. Though hehad flood insurance, which

would not cover all the dam-age, he said he would not re-build because of the cost, thepossibility of a repeat floodand the mold that could exa-cerbatehisdaughter’sasthma.

“It’s goingto happenagain,”hesaid.“AndI’mgoingtobeat

“I can’tcome back,”Pliska, anauto mechanic, saidto Biden.“Yeah,you can; youcan come

On Sun., Sept. 25, at 2 p.m.,the Anthracite Heritage Mu-seum will present a samplerproduction of “Under the Lack-awanna Moon” to tell the storyof the Anthracite Region. Buthow did northeastern Penn-sylvania develop as a center foranthracite?

According to Horace Hollis-ter’s “History of the Lackawan-na Valley,” local Native Amer-icans are said to have beenusing anthracite coal as earlyas 1850 near Nazareth, and inthe 1860’s survey reports of the

Susquehanna Company in-cluded mention of anthracitedeposits in the hills beyond

Wilkes-Barre.Obediah Gore came to the

Wyoming Valley in 1769 fromConnecticut and learned aboutthe black stones from localnatives. He is credited as thefirst white man to recognizethe practical use of anthracitecoal to generate heat ,but it

would take more than 30 yearsfor the process to catch on.

On Feb. 8, 1808, a blacksmithliving in Wilkes-Barre conduct-ed an experiment at his homeon Northampton Street that

would prove once and for allthat stone coal could be burnedfor domestic use. He built acrude grate to provide the draftneeded to feed a coal fire inone’s home and, because of hisexperiment, any opposition tothe domestic use the stone coal

was forever halted. Anthracite

was now recognized as a viablefuel alternative to wood.Jesse Fell’s grate is now part

of the collection of the LuzerneCounty Historical Society anda reproduction of it is currentlyon display at the AnthraciteHeritage Museum.

Theatrical production andhistorical preservation sharethe same basic mission: tocelebrate the human spirit byilluminating that which linksus as people. “Under the Lacka-

wanna Moon” is designed totell the story of NortheastPennsylvania’s Anthracite Heri-tage Region through mono-logue, dialogue and music.

The initial presentation willoffer an idea of what the fullproduction is about, offering those in attendance an over-

view of the potential this piecehas as a tourist attraction inthe region.

The project began in 2004 as

collaboration between theLackawanna Historical Societyand the Past Players when agroup of actors presented a

“living theatre” program thatchronicled the lives of thoseinterred in the historic Dun-more Cemetery.

Make use of safe flood

recovery tips

As we prepare to recoverfrom the flooding of the Wilkes-Barre area, many points of interest need to be noted in the

water-borne and emergencypower risks that exist to pro-tect the public and especiallythose who suffer from lung disease:

• The greatest health risk inthis emergency may come from

water-borne microorganismsand toxins. Even after the wa-ter recedes, contaminants,bacteria, viruses and mold leftbehind pose a risk to those

with lung disease. Exposure tothese microorganisms andtoxins may increase the risk of developing lung illness. Inaddition, time spent in largegroup housing may increasethe risk of the spread of in-

fectious diseases, such as influ-enza, pneumonia, and tuber-culosis.

• Damp buildings and fur-nishings promote the growth of microorganisms, dust mites,cockroaches and mold, whichcan aggravate asthma and al-lergies and may cause the de-

velopment of asthma, wheeze,cough and hypersensitivitypneumonitis in susceptiblepersons.

• During clean up efforts,

contaminants and microorgan-isms may be inhaled, whichalso add to lung disease com-plications. Clean up efforts

will need to protect the work-ers and occupants from expo-

sure to airborne particles andgases.• The physical stress of

dealing with the flood mayalso put a strain on people

who are already ill or the el-derly, providing an opportuni-ty for respiratory infectionsand other sicknesses to arise.

Without electricity, peoplemay turn to portable gasoline-or diesel-powered generators,

gas stoves, charcoal stoves,grills, portable camping stovesand other devices to cookindoors. Carbon monoxide isproduced whenever any fuelsuch as gas, oil, kerosene,

wood, or charcoal is burned.Exposure to this gas reduc-es the blood’s ability tocarry oxygen and can leadto death. Do not use ovensand gas ranges to heat your

home. Do not burn char-coal or propane inside ahome, cabin, recreational

vehicle or camper, and donot operate gasoline-power-ed or diesel-powered en-gines indoors.

For more information oncleaning up after a flood or

water damage, contact theAmerican Lung AssociationHelp Line at1-800-LUNG-USA.

Those buried in Washburn

deserve better

Charles “Chick” Rader wascited for the conditions of the

Washburn Street Cemetery.

He made some improvements

and the citation was dropped.

The 142nd anniversary of

the Avondale Mine Disaster

was recently held at the ceme-

tery. Granted some of the

grass was cut but there were

sections including the one

where the miners are interred

that is very high. Weeds cover

tombstones and many of these

have fallen or are about to.

There are two huge trees

that are dead. One is splin-

tered and the branches have

fallen on the tombstones be-

neath it. These trees need to

be taken down before they fall

to the acts of nature on a pass-

ing car or worse someone

walking through the cemetery.

Something needs to be doneto correct the conditions of

the cemetery. In its current

state, it is an eyesore to any-

one visiting this hallowed

ground.

Mr. Rader needs to be held

responsible for this cemetery.

If he cannot or will not im-

prove the cemetery, then it

should be sold to someone

who will.

The Avondale miners and

the people buried there should

not have to rest in peace in

such a neglected cemetery.Linda Scott

It’s common for artists tothink outside the box, but forself-taught creator Paul Vendit-ti, he also thinks outside thecanvas.

Born in East Brunswick, NJ,and now living in the ForestCity area, the 23-year-old maynot have a formal educationalbackground in art, but his “un-stoppable curiosity” led him toexperiment with different artforms, culminating in a more“pronounced” focus over thelast three to four years that hasbeen turning heads throughout

Northeast Pennsylvania.

“I try to use an organic style, I

would say. It’s organic or abstract.

It’s always changing; it’s never one

thing…It’s what came naturally.

Over years of trying different

things, I’ve always veered towardsdrawing plant lifeand nature or ge-

ometrics and math. It’s like visual

math to me,” Venditti described.

“It was just developed through

side effects of experiments, like,

‘What happens if I use this type of

paint with this push or this pull?’

Youfudgefactors andyou come out

with something you never even

thought of.”

Venditti has played with clay,

plaster, acrylics, watercolors, aero-sols, airbrushing, and whateverelse he’s found will “get the jobdone” but if he had to choose onlyone medium, “it’d be aerosol, with-out hesitation.”

This may be because his streetart, which can be found on wallsand buildings in cities like Carbon-dale, Forest City, and Scranton,may be among his most striking work. Lately, his focus has been onthe “universally appealing theme”of nature, incorporating parts of buildingsintothe vines andflowershe paints.

“There’s a simplicity in it that’s

easily overlooked. You look at thecities and everybody’s moving around like an army of ants. Wedidn’thave allthatnot toolongago. We were all in the woods,” he ex-plained.

“With plant lifeand nature, mostof the time, people aren’t upset with it after it’s done, even if youdon’t askto do it….It makes peoplesmile on their way home from work.”

While some would call that graf-fiti, Venditti found it “depressing”driving through Forest City and

It has been 20 years

since the Lackawanna Her-

itage Valley was establish-

ed as the first state heri-

tage park in Pennsylvania,

and the group that over-

sees the area partnered

with another area historic

preservation group to host

a premiere screening of a

documentary exploring

that area.

“Legacy: The Story of theLackawanna Heritage Valley,”

was shown for the first timebefore more than 300 attend-ees at the annual LackawannaHistorical Society dinner on

Wednesday night at the Scran-

ton Cultural Center. The 60-minute documentary producedby WVIA includes a widerange of interviews, historicalfootage and more that docu-ments the impact the area’shistory and subsequent preser-

vation efforts have had on itspeople.

“It helps us to present a casefor remaining a state and na-tional heritage area,” Lacka-

wanna Heritage Valley Author-

ity Executive Director NatalieGelb said. “Our legislation as anational heritage area will sun-

set a year from now, and we

hope this film will be a vehicleto convince the public and ourlegislators in Congress that weshould continue to exist and tobe sustained.”

Proceeds from Wednesday’sdinner will be split betweenLHS and LHVA, according toLHS Director Mary Ann Mo-ran-Savakinus, further show-casing the partnership sharedbetween the two organizations.

“Our mission fits nicely intheir entire mission of preserv-ing and promoting local histo-ry,” she said. “It was a reallygood fit to put the organiza-tions together to celebrate thismilestone.”

Moran-Savakinus said she was honored to have the eventserve as a venue for the firstpublic screening of “Legacy.”

“I love that it shows peoplein a very positive way talking

about their community,” shesaid of the film. “For anyone who watches it, it’s very hardnot to get excited and caughtup in celebrating heritage.”

The film was shown simulta-neously on WVIA-TV, andDVD sales will continue tosupport the work LHVA doesin 55 municipalities in north-eastern Pennsylvania.

Copies of the film are $14.95for LHV members and $19.95

for the general public. Formore information, visit

“Blogger”

is a dirty

word for a

lot journal-

ists, but not

for me. I simplycouldn’t

have been onewithout the

other.

I alwayshad a knack for

the English language, but I

never wroteanythingout-

side of schoolworkuntil the

age of16,when mycousin,

Ian, and I started a website

because that was the thing todo atthe time. Itwas a

blogbeforesomeonehad

coined that term.

WhileI didn’t realize it at thetime, it wouldbecomeone of the main reasons I chose thecareer path I did.

Whilethe wholepointof thesite wasto ventour frustrationsabout various topics, it tookona wholenew meaningwhenother people startedreadingit.Itwent froma rantto a dis-cussion.

Lookingbackon some of thatmaterialnow, it was far frompolished, butwhatI was saying was strikinga chordwith some-oneoutthere. There’s some-thing about touching people withwords that stillgives meathrill to thisday.

After takinga fewcreative writingcoursesandhoning mycraft, I decided togoto collegeforEnglishinsteadof theater.Blogging took a backseat for a while, butby thesummerof 2008,we hadrevampedouroriginal site to havemoreofastrict focus on politicsand phil-osophical matters.

With themainstreammediaplaying a largepart in that dis-cussion, there wasno shortage

of criticism onmyendfor theirqualityof coverage,so maybeit’s a bitironic that I was hired

as themainstaff writerfor thisnewspaper in early 2010.

Thiswas a life-changing eventfor mebecause this wasthe first time that I wouldbepaidona regular, full-time basistowrite, and it changedmyperspectiveonbloggingand journalismforever.

Both sides seemed to lookdownoneachother– manybloggers feltjournalistswere allcorporate shills, andreporters

lookeddownonbloggingas alesserformof writing bypeople withno formal training.

I made itmygoaltobe thechangeI wantedto see inthemedia, leavingmypersonal biasat thedoor in favor ofbalanced,neutral journalism. That’s aneasy thingto deliver whenyoureditorsarelookingforthesamething.

To separate thetwofurther, Inever blog aboutthe peopleI

report on. I’vealways seen thetwo as simplytwo types of writing, and there is still a need

forboth.I think bloggingis used most

effectively in providing morehonest andbiting commentaryonnews items. It serves well asan aggregate forparticulartopics or issuesthatone personmay bepassionate about, anditalso buildsa senseof communi-ty aroundparticular topics.

Bloggingcan also beused tomake bad informationsoundgood, and manypeopleblog

abouttopics that theyhaveverylittle background onor author-ityin. This canmislead peopleandfurther complicatetheoverall discussion.

It’s beenalmost12 years nowsince I startedmyfirstblog andnow I runa few more, because,again, that’s the thingto dothesedays. I guessthat’s whyBillBlack, theco-organizerof the annual Pages & PlacesBookFestival, asked me to moderate

a roundtablediscussion onbloggingin Northeast Penn-sylvania on Thursdayat The

Vintage Theaterin downtownScranton.

Myguestswere TomBorth- wick, local teacher, formercandidate forScranton SchoolBoard, andauthor of www.NE-PArtisan.com, a leading localpoliticalwebsite; JustinVacula,co-organizer fortheNEPAFreethoughtSociety, Exam-iner.com contributor, and theblogger behindwww.JustinVac-ula.com; andHaroldJenkins,an

autobiographical blogger(http://anothermonkey.blog-spot.com) aswell asa creatorof NEPABlogs(http://nepa-blogs.blogspot.com), a clear-inghouse providing links toblogs andother sites aboutNEPA or byNEPA natives.

Asone of thepanelists joking-lypointedout, there was notrue tableto sitaround, buttherewas a lot of excellentdiscussionabout howblogging

haschangedthewaypeoplediscover anddiscuss informa-tion worldwide.

Whileeachwereable to offertheir ownunique perspective on why they got into blogging,theone thing weallshared was apassion forour convictions.

Onepersonquestionedwhatmadeuseach anauthority onanything, or whyanyone shouldreadwhat wehaveto sayoverany other guy witha blogandsome free time out there.

In a nutshell, myanswerwasthis – becausewe lovewhat we

do, and asa result, westrive todo it right. WhetherI’mcitingsources or

personal experience,mywriting comes from themost honestpart of myself,evenwhen I’mnotalwaysperfectwhen I putdown the penor leavethekey-board.

Ultimately, it’s up to theread-er todecidewhetherI’m rightorwrong,butI sleep well know-ing thatI saidwhat I wantedto

say.I just happen to havemore

than one outlet to doso.

“If it’s under construction, it’stemporary anyway,” he mused.

“I choose to paint outdoorsbecause I want to settle thescore with the advertising com-panies…You have these compa-nies taking up space on walls,and I figured that it’s a fair fightto put something natural back

on the wall.” The debate over whether or

notthis is artis onethat Vendittienjoys having.

“There’s really no wrong wayto use something. I think that’sthebeautyof art.I’venever useda canvas traditionally. Most of

my stuff doesn’t stay on thecanvas. If it’s going to hang some- where, half of it is offthe canvasand onto the wall. A lot of my work is not content, it’s con-text,” he emphasized.

Avoiding the white walls and

neat frames of typical galleries,Venditti held his first solo art in-stallation in an abandoned sew-ing factory he renovated in For-est City during the town’s an-nual “Old Home Week” festival.Utilizing wood fragments andfound items to create pieces, healsoscrapped2,400of pounds of dumpedsteeland usedthemon-eyto buypaint. The“art-themedhauntedhouse”piquedthe curi-osity of many of the local youth

who toured the facility, he said,and he hopes that it inspiredthem as well.

“I don’t think you really needportfolios and the classic thingspeople think they need for suc-cess. You just need some goodideas and an internet connec-

tionandyou cankindof leapfrog to wherever you want to be.”

Someof hispieces, headmits,are also subversive, but theyserve as a thought-provoking re-action or rebuttal to the state of the world around him.

“Straw Dogs” is a

meditation on

masculinity

andsocietalmores in theguise

of an explosive thriller. While

remaking Sam Peckinpah’s

controversial 1971 classic,

writer-director Rod Lurie has

kept the plot virtually intact.

What makes the two films feelradically different is tone. JamesMarsden and Kate Bosworth seemoddsubstitutes forDustinHoffmanandSusan George,but theircasting proves a stroke of genius — so farremoved from the original starsthatthe inevitablecomparisons aremoot. Marsden and Bosworth de-liver career-high performances.

The storyremains simple: Holly-

wood screenwriter David Sumner

and his actress wife, Amy, relocatefrom the West Coast to her smallhometownin Mississippi to restoreandthen sell her family home. Thelocals still remember Amy fondly,especially her ex-boyfriend Charlie(Alexander Skarsgard), a formerhigh-school football star whosegreatest triumphs are behind him.Charlie is obviously still in love

with Amy, buthe’s respectful of hermarriage and doesn’t overstep hisboundaries — at least for a while.

The trouble starts when theSumners hire Charlie and his crewto fix their roof.

The workers’ constant presenceandrude behaviorgradually takes atoll on the marriage. Hairlinecracks become fissures. David sug-gestsAmy stop dressingso provoc-atively (“Maybe you should wear abra”). She responds with anger,claiming she dresses for him. Themen sense David’s emasculation

and grow bolder in their transgres-

sions. Charlie admires Amy fromafar, hammer in hand. An aura of menace develops.

Lurie’s “Straw Dogs” argues that we are products of our environ-ment and learn to survive by em-bracing the attitudes around us,even when they contradict our in-stincts.

Whena bored David walks outona church sermon, he’s not aware of the offense against the locals. Butlike Amy, he’ll eventually learn by

force.Much like Peckinpah’s film, the

new “Straw Dogs” climaxes withextreme violence. There is a greattragedy to the bloodbath but great

victory, too.Youcan pushpeople sofarbefore they break, or fight back.

The conflagration thatends “StrawDogs” is more triumphant thanlamentable: Sometimes, you havetobe taken tothe edgeof the abyssto find out who you really are.

theCarbondaleArt Walkand painted a

sunfloweron theside of Martini Grill,414 Spruce St., in Scranton during First Friday.

Like much of his work, the “properchannels”were thrown out the prover-bial window and his proposal to theownersof Martini Grillwas spur ofthemoment. By the next morning, theyhad given him the go ahead, whichgave patrons and passers-by a uniqueexperience as they watched him workthroughout the night.

“Ithoughtit wouldbe a greatidea. Alot of people have come in and askedabout it. They come by and peek inandsay, ‘Hey, whodid that? It’s so life-like! I have this garage by my houseand I’d really love to put something like that on my house.’ That’s great,”Kristen Baigis, housemanager of Mar-tini Grill, added.

Alex Molfetas, owner of 119 PennAve. just down the street, stumbledacross the artist in the act when hesmelled the fresh spray-paint, ap-

proachingVenditti withthe promiseof an evenmore“giantcanvas” – theexte-rior wall atthe rear ofhis buildingthatsits in the 200 block of Center Street.

The mural, in progress for the lastseveral weeks and delayed by rainfrom Hurricane Irene and TropicalStorm Lee, is a collaborative designthat features the logo for Molfetas’productioncompany,119Productions,designed by Bryan Filarsky. An elec-tric train originally designed by 119’sHeadDesigner Kurt Effertzplays offof

the city’s history as geometric shapesscatter around it.

The focus, Molfetas feels, isn’t nec-essarily to attract traffic inside 119Penn Ave., which houses The Vintage

Theater, asmuch asit is to “getpeopleinto thealleyways,”whereevenhe hasdiscovered unique piecesof public art.

“There are a lot of different alley- ways in town that people need to lookinto,” he said. “There’s some randompieces of art around town, but what

we’re doing is just going big and bold. We’re changing the game.”Neighbors have been wowed by the

piece, which he hopes will motivateothers to join in his vision of a down-town“designdistrict,” embracingnewmedia and art to bolster the city’s fu-ture.

“Art can be anywhere.” That’sone notion thatVenditti,who

believesin passion overprofit,can def-initely get behind. The plan, like theartist, just keeps on changing.

“It’s a big piece and it’s complex,”Venditti said. “Whoknows how it’s go-ing to ultimately turn out?”

“Drive” is pitched as an ac-tion film, a straight-up sagaabout a man who crashes carsas a movie stunt driver by dayand helps crash businesses as agetaway driver by night. In amore mainstream universe, thiscould be the set-up for a JasonStatham headbanger.

But that’s not what acclaimedDanish indie di-rector Nicolas

Winding Refnhas in mind. Aschilly as a Co-penhagen win-t er a nd of te ntensely quiet be-fore exploding in brutal vio-lence, “Drive”

sometimes feellike a foreigner’sacademic takeon a Hollywoodgenre piece.Still, it’s a thrill-ing ride.

Ryan Gosling is the namelessdriver, the go-to guy if a car hast o be driven hard and f ast.

When he’s not rolling cars orknocking over warehouses, he

wants to be an auto racer, an

ambition his mechanic (BryanCranston) helps him with by in-troducing him to those whocould bankroll him, mobstersplayed by Albert Brooks andRon Perlman.

On the other hand, he’s fall-ing for young mom Irene (Ca-rey Mulligan), literally the girlnext door, whose husband,Standard (the underrated OscarIsaac), has just come home

from prison. When the family isthreatened because Standardstill owes some gangsters mon-ey, Standard agrees to one last

job to pay off his debt — andthe driver agrees to help him.

The driver’s seemingly sepa-rate worlds collide, and nothing goes as planned.

The action scenes are grip-ping and Refn’s painterly way

with a camera adds visual al-lure.

“Drive” may not take the ex-pected route to its destination,but it arrives in style.

It’s exhausting, but that’s sort of the idea.

“I Don’t Know How She Does It” is an old-

fashioned spin on the manic pace of mother-

hood for today’s working woman, for whom “jug-

gling” has become not just the normbut positive-

ly blasé.

The novelty here is thatit’s that “Sex and the City”conspicuous consumer Sa-rah Jessica Parker “discov-ering” what Allison Pear-son’s novel didn’t exactlydiscover, either: Parentsare perpetually over-

worked and overcommit-ted.

Parker, narrating in voi-ceover as in “Sex and theCity,” is Kate, the frazzled

investment banker trying tokeep her job but alsoherkindergartener and 2-year-old happy and her working husband, Richard (Greg Kinnear), content.

She travels. A lot.Kate isclosingin ona big

deal and has to win over ahandsome upper-levelmanager (Pierce Brosnan).

That’s the straw that maybreak this mother camel’sback.

She lies awake working on “The List” — birthday-party plans, bake-sale obli-gations, home-repair ar-rangements.

“Number 3, Call Ri-chard’s mother. Number 4,

Wax something. ANY-thing.”

The cute linesdon’thavemuch snap, so the script

and director DouglasMcGrath lean on testimo-nials — the friends, col-leagues and fellow moms

who marvel, either genu-inely or sarcastically to thecamera — “I don’t knowhow she does it.”

Christina Hendricks isthe single-mom pal, SethMeyers is a back-stabber atthe office, Olivia Munn isthe younger assistant who

looks at Kate and vows“never getting married,never having kids.”

Her assessment of Kate?“You’re tiredand always in-sufficiently groomed.”

Jane Curtin shows up asthe judgmental mother-in-law who can deliver with-ering condemnations witha smile, and Busy Philippsmakes a funny impressionas a “mini-Martha Stew-art.”

The story’s thesis hasresonance. We’re all mis-sing out on importantthings in our oversched-uled lives.

But the idea that working moms feel the strain of achieving balancemore than

away for a 45-0 advantage

with 4:45 still to play in the

third quarter of a game that

was originally scheduledfor

Friday night.

The game had been post-poned, along with others, forthree days because of flooding andevacuationsin the Wyoming Valley. Meyers players wereamong those evacuated and theteam had not been together forfive days.

“You have to give their kids alot of credit,” Dunmore coachJack Henzes said. “We had our

REWIND

See REWIND, Page 28

When the week-end of worry wasover – and thestart of the recov-ery period was just beginning formany – the

Wyoming Area and Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech teams simply were not ready to play a footballgame.

No further explanation was

needed and none ever should beexpected for the decision to calloff games that had already beenpostponed for days.

This time around, we were for-tunate in Lackawanna County.

When the second Friday night of the high school season rolled

around, Mid Valley traveled toLakeland and Carbondale went toValley View to play games on what was a beautiful night for football.

In surrounding counties, it wasdifficult to appreciate the clear skyand comfortable temperature be-cause tens of thousands were stilldealing with the devastation thattwo punishing storm systems hadleft behind.

Flooding and precautionary

evacuations disrupted lives inmost of the school districts serv-ing as opponents for LackawannaFootball Conference teams in aschedule that emphasizes non-league play in the early weeks.

District 2 teams measure them-selves throughout much of the

first three weeks in LFC vs. Wyoming Valley Conferencegames.

Ultimately, when 10 weeks of regular-season play are over, many will measure success on a playoff points system that includes mul-tiple factors – wins, enrollmentsize of opponents beaten and thenumber of wins by those beatenopponents.

When Wyoming Area was un-

able to get together with WestScranton and District 4 memberColumbia-Montour Vo-Tech couldnot get to Nanticoke, three Dis-trict 2 teams were left with nine-game schedules instead of 10.

Playoff spots now will be determined

by an average rating of nine or 10games instead of all teams playing thesame amount.

The three schools who had post-poned games are not the only onesimpacted.

The potential number of points Wyoming Area, West Scranton andNanticoke can earn for opponents whobeat them has changed because of oneless game. In short, the postponementshave the potential to have some affecton multiple teams.

If, and when, that happens, none of us should say another word about it.

Speculation about what would havehappened if those two games wereplayed and analysis about whichschools received an advantage or disad-

vantage as a result would be disre-spectful to those with far bigger prob-lems to face.

We can all be certain that the young men at Wyoming Area and Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech would much rather

have been playing football last week-end than taking a break that potential-ly altered someone else’s fate on thefield.

Even if any inequity materializesfrom the unbalanced schedules, nocomplaints are acceptable here.

For years, most of the teams thathave missed playoff spots because of point system disadvantages – real and

imagined – were not the teams worthyof championships. Most of those whocannot make the top four in playoff points were not about to end up as theone top team when the district playoffs

were over. Those teams, coaches and fans who

may be tempted to worry about whathas changed in the playoff point sys-tem should concentrate on one thing

instead.Just win. Those who win enough games will

be well clear of close calls in rating systems.

Northeastern Pennsylvania’s flood victims only wish life seemed that fair.

f the first meet of the sea-

son is any indication, se-nior Kathleen Casey will

be a great addition to the

West Chester women’s cross

country team this fall.

Casey (Holy Cross) is a

senior who has transferred in

from St. Joseph’s where she

was a dependable member of

the Hawks’ track and crosscountry team.

Casey opened her West

Chester career by finishing

third in the Lehigh Invitation-

al in Bethlehem. Her 6k time

of 22:35.4 was behind winner

and teammate Kristina Kout-

souros and a Lehigh runner.

“Kathleen has been a great addi-tion to our team and will certainlyhelp us out at the PSAC Cham-pionships in October,” coach An-drew Huber said. “She had someproblems the first few weeks ad-

justing to some different training methods, things she had neverexperienced before. But she fought

through it and seems to have comeout on the other side ready to runfast.”

Casey’s time at Lehigh was fas-ter than she ran on the samecourse last season with St. Jo-seph’s.

“Kathleen and Kristina havereally been working well togetherat practices, which should onlyhelp both of them when we get tothe conference championship.”

Huber said.

PERRY SEEINGACTION

Sophomore Michael Perry (Dun-more) is a valuable member of theBryant football team. The 5-foot-8,214-pounder spent his freshmanseason limited to special teams.

“Michael had a very good fresh-man year with our special teams,”head coach Marty Fine said. “He’s

very quick and tough to block.” This season, Perry is still a key

member of the special teams –

especially as a kickoff returner –and is also seeing action behind

junior standout Jordan Brown atrunning back. In the first twogames, he carried the ball fivetimes for 15 yards. He also return-ed six kickoffs for129 yards – a21.5 average. And, he picked up acouple of tackles on kickoffs.

“We expect big things fromMichael again this year on specialteams and at tailback,” Fine said.

“He’s second on our depth chart atrunning back behind an all-confer-ence runner (Jordan), but he willcertainly play a key role in oursuccess this season.”

DEVENEYLEADSTHEWAY

Junior Kelsey Deveney (Lacka- wanna Trail) is starting on defensefor the Gwynedd-Mercy field hock-ey team and picked up three as-sists in the first four games.

Scoring is nothing new fromDeveney. She had seven goals and

seven assists for 21 points last yearand three goals and four assists for10 points as a freshman.

“Kelsey came into this seasonready to lead and to take the teamto great success,” coach LauraLane said. “She is one of our cap-tains and she’s both a vocal leaderand a leader by example.”

Sunday’s ceremonyalso servedas an unveiling for the county’snew Sept. 11 memorial featuring twin black granite towers remi-niscent of the World Trade Cen-ter towers that collapsed as a re-sult of the terrorist attacks on

New York City. The granitetowersinclude em-

bined choir featuringmembersof the Scranton Chapter of UNICO,Ss. Anthony and Rocco Parish,Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish,and the HolyFamily Parish.

“On Sept. 11, we learned thatactions speak louder than words,” Lackawanna CountyCommissioner Corey O’Briensaid. “Our country was brutallyattacked by terrorists who be-lieved that our resolve was only

skin deep. They believed thattheir strike would cause ourcountryto retreat, losefocus,andcrumble.Theythought wewouldrunawayfromthe burningWorld Trade Center buildings. Theynever guessed thatwe would run

toward them.”Retired New York Police De-

tective Rob O’Donnell, a currentresident of Greenfield Township, worked at the Ground Zero sitefor14 months.

“We have tragedythat wemustnever forget, and yet we havehope,” O’Donnell said, gesturing towards a piece of Ground Zeroheldby10-year-oldDunmoreresi-dent Jenna Furey and an Ameri-

the Griffins from her center back

position.“Kelsey’s growth as a player hasbeen spectacular to watch thepast two seasons,” Lane said.“She’s a key piece to our attacking penalty corner unit. She has astrong shot, a great eye for thegoal and her receiving skills makeher a great pass option.”

GOOD STARTFOR MARTIN

Brittany Martin kicked off hercareer with the Millersville wom-en’s cross country team with a big effort.

Martin (Abington Heights) is atransfer from Seton Hill, and inthe season-opening Alumni Openin Millersville she finished secondin the 5k women’s race with atime of 20:01. An alumni runnerfrom Franklin & Marshall was theonly runner to beat her.

“She came in to Millersville ingreat shape which showed up very

well at the first meet,” coach AndyYoung said. “Her effort was asurprise to many of us.”

Young feels that Martin will beone of the team’s top five scorersduring the cross country seasonand will very likely be his toprunner especially with All-Amer-ican Elicia Anderson being side-lined with an injury.

“I expect with Brittany’s talentshe will continue to improve and

has a very bright future, especiallyduring the track season,” Young said.

ADDED ROLEFOR DITCHEY

Sophomore Ashley Ditchey(Lackawanna Trail) started for theArcadia field hockey team lastseason and is back in the starting lineup this season. But coach ErinLivingston has another role forthe 5-foot-4 midfielder.

“This year we are looking forAshley to have a huge leadershiprole with our defense,” the coachsaid. “She is our most experi-enced defender and I look for herto take control out there.”

The Knights are a young team with just two seniors on the 20player roster.

“Ashley works hard every dayand is a role model for our fresh-man to look up to,” Livingstonsaid. “She is a good representativeof the type of players I’m trying torecruit.”
