Purple Page today

Today's topics are about Sarge's Bar, a topic on some oral surgery, the Access card, a big drug roundup north of the county, and still some more about traffic tieups, crooked politicians and the rain cancelling the lawn mower races.

My comment is that the drug roundup wasn't as big as the newspaper would have you believe it was. The one guy was charged with public drunkeness and possession of a small amount of marijuana. So what that means really, is that the guy was in a place that got raided. Nothing more than a trumped up charge.

Really, how do you get public drunkeness when you are in a residence. They will just use that charge to get the guy to testify against others. If I was him, I would fight the charges. The charges are absolutely bogus and will easily be thrown out at the first hearing.

The drug roundup, as it was called, occurred in the areas of Ashland, Girardville, Ringtown, Lavelle, and Butler Township, Pennsylvania.

I guess if you don't do drugs or drink, you wouldn't have anything to worry about. Of course, this is Schuylkill County and everyone is almost expected to be addicted to something.

Just look around and listen to people. You can pick up on drug problems, drinking problems, overeating, and gambling very easily.

Just my two cents.
