Happy 4th of July from Hazleton Pravda
Just a word of caution…if you’re gonna get loaded, get good-n-krunked, or polluted in anyway then just remember to aim the fireworks away from your self!
Hazleton Woman Crashes into Bank
A seventy-some year old woman who should obviously have her driving privileges revoked smashes into a downtown bank because according to the police report her foot ‘became stuck’ on the accelerator. The Standard Speaker has no mention of any citations. I don’t even have to bet that if it were anyone who was not retired and did this there would be a list of charges nine miles long and ten miles wide. But then Hazleton caters to the old and feeble. That’s another one of those public secrets we at Hazleton Pravda keep noticing again and again. The double-standards around here are sickening!
Fireworks Last Friday at Harmen-Geist
Every year they do the same fireworks show. It is one of the few returns the city gives to the public, but I just found it silly that they claimed this year’s fireworks display was gonna be bigger then ever. It didn’t seem all that much more spectacular, in fact it seemed a bit shorter then previous years. Now if they’d have blown up city hall in a brilliant light show or made some patrol cars into incandescent torches that would have been cool, that would symbolize freedom.
Eachus Edits Laws
Todd Eachus is amending laws concerning people providing alcohol to minors. As long as no one gets hurt there is no real reason to worry about youth experimentation. The kids will do it one way or another, but the Greater Hazleton Area Drug Free Task Force (Whew! That’s a mouthful) had to stick there noses in and remind everyone that we’re all bad! “You’re bad. So are you. You, you’re bad too. I knows cuz I’m judgemental!” Hey, if the kids can’t control themselves while experimenting then its more their own fault then anyone else’s.
Slot Machines & School Breaks
They’re really pushing these slot machines in PA. I don’t think this should be connected to schooling budget problems though. It is the school district’s own fault that money is NOT being budgeted correctly, bedding this problem with a push to get gambling into the state is a bad idea.
HASD Gets $139G in Grants
Do metal detectors and guard dogs cost this much? Or is that the brokering for the new cigarette machines in the teacher lounges?
Mayor Lou on TV
Mayor Lou was only too happy to tell TV reporters how wonderful it is SUPPOSED to be in Hazleton. Bet he’s still pissed about that newspaper reporter who spent a whole day in Hazleton before going home and announcing to the country that Hazleton sucks, and it does, ya know?
