Do the DuBois schools still have school police?

I'm confident that someone, somewhere will attribute it to Climate Change.

Well, er, ah... Apparently a false alarm. I was calling the number I found in the yellow pages. Today looked at their web site, it showed a different number. Called it, got through. As to the door locked, perhaps I was there earlier than I thought and ran into their lunch hour. Perhaps. Anyway, "we regret this error and apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused" or whatever it is you say when you've screwed up.

I tried to call Aspen Dental several times yesterday afternoon. Every time got the friendly female voice telling me the number was temporarily out of service. Later, I stopped by on my way to Walmart, about 3:30 and found their door locked. Tried calling this morning and got the same recorded message. Anyone know what's up (or down) with the DuBois Aspen Dental office?

Waste Management office is at Minns Summit

Off somewhere isolating themselves from this pack of deplorables I suppose.

It appears the fugitive is a local boy. See news article: https://www.connectradio.fm/news/donald-frantz-failed-to-appear-for-weekend-jail-sentence-now-he-is-on-the-run

"Yes, your DuBois police officers have the same power of arrest if they visit Philly on vacation as they do within the City of DuBois on duty" As my Son the Cop explained "I'm not a police officer because the city employs me. The city employs me because I'm a police officer and I'm a police officer at all times everywhere in Pennsylvania."

This nothing new. PSP have been assisting the game commission in enforcing game laws for a few decades. This mainly during the busy open game seasons. In return, game wardens (I guess they're called Wildlife Conservation Officers now) are deputized into the state police to pay back the hours the state police spent on game law business. I say deputized. That was the case years ago. It may be that they now have police powers in their own right. Same thing for fish wardens, whatever they are called these days. Remember that in PA, unlike many states, the game and fish commissions are two separate entities.

From WHYY.com: "Pennsylvania’s rules for ousting municipal officials are among the most stringent in the country. "The commonwealth doesn’t permit recall elections, nor does it allow local governing bodies to vote out elected officials if, for example, they violate their duties of office."

A useful landmark.

"Vanity, vanity. All is vanity and a striving after wind."

1st Corinthians 9:9 "For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." That's about the only thing she hasn't said in her "oh, but he has done so many good things for the city" statements. But I suspect the thought is there. That, or "He just wet his beak, that's all, just wet his beak. Nothing to see here, move along."
