Local law enforcement officials and the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration kicked off its Thanksgiving Click It or Ticket Seat Belt Enforcement Blitz in Tamaqua on Tuesday. Tamaqua Patrolman Michael Hobbs set up a safety zone at the southern end of the borough as officials target motorists who fail to use their seat belt restraint systems. In addition to the Tamaqua Police Department, law enforcement officials in Coaldale, West Penn and Rush Townships will enforce the campaign throughout the extended Thanskgiving holiday, from Nov. 16 through Nov. 30.

The following was a "letter to the editor" that appeared in August in a Jackson, Ms. newspaper. It's worth sharing with readers of any newspaper.
Dear Sirs:
Twelve area residents were among 88 who were arraigned Monday before District Attorney James P. Goodman in the Schuylkill County Courthouse on criminal charges and all entered pleas of not guilty and requested trial by jury. Those arraigned were:
Zachary James Bonhomme, 18, of 89 Penn St., Lehighton, charged by Patrolman Michael O'Neill, Ashland police, with possession of a small amount of marijuana in Wasington Park last July 17.
