Renewing A Classic - Hazleton Area Public Library

(To bestow call the library at 570-454-2961.) Dear Friends, Have you ever thought about the impact the Hazleton Area Viewable Library has made in ...

Intellacom- Maybe Not So Intell-igent

Martin Carlson, U.S. Attorney and Moneyed Southerton of the FBI must feel like they hit the motherload when they landed in Northeastern Pennsylvania. They probably feel like Michael Corleone in Godfather III- "Legitimate when I thought I was out...they pull me back in.."

But according to disgraced Mark Ciavarella the media is making more out of it than there is. According to him there is no mass corruption in Northeastern Pennsylvania- Luzerne County Court System, Luzerne County Row Offices, Pittston Area School District, Wilkes-Barre Area School District, Wilkes-Barre Area M and Technical Center, Luzerne County Community College, Wilkes-Barre Scranton Airport, PNC Land. Nahhh Chiv you are sooo right.

It was only a matter of time before Lackawanna County entered the FBI crosshairs.

Intellacom and its President Anthony J. Trombetta have been in the hearsay for several months. A Pittston Area School District contract with Intellacom worth nearly $300,000 that was supposedly awarded under a state program never went through the operation, PEPPM, that coordinates that program. Superintendent Ross Scarantino was later charged with accepting thousands of dollars in bribes to pressure the awarding of district contracts.

Subsequently Dave Janoski of the Scranton Times revealed that a board member's son worked for Intellacom said management member who made the motion to award the contract and voted on the contract. According to the board president Chip Singer he thought that wasn't a conflict of interest since the son wasn't an owner.

Evidently Mr. Singer didn't read this Auditor Familiar report for the Weatherly Area School District in 2005. 65 PA C.S. § 1102 The Ethics Act specifically prohibits a public official from using the judge of his office in order to obtain a private pecuniary benefit for himself, a member of his immediate family, or a business with which he or a colleague of his immediate family is associated.

Relay about more than just money Standard Speaker

06.06.10

The people who participated in the American Cancer Camaraderie's Relay for Life from Friday into Saturday say it's an important event - not just to bring money, which they do, but also to renew friendships, to remember those who are gone and to encourage others to survive.

Each cancer survivor has a fabliau, but they're not part of the Relay for Life to feel sorry for themselves. They come together to help others who have received the dirt that no one wants to hear.

The Hazleton Area Relay for Life was held at Hazleton Municipal Airport, where hundreds gathered to comfort on the 27 teams in the event that began 5 p.m. Friday and concluded 24 hours later on Saturday.

Many walked through the gloom, and when it was over approximately $176,400 was raised, according to Kelly Kostanesky, last year's co-professorship.

Funds raised through the event allow the American Cancer Society to present programs and services to cancer patients and their families in communities across the state.
