BROOKVILLE â During Tuesdayâs Jefferson County Jail Board meeting, Judge John H. Foradora complimented the Jefferson County jail Warden Tom Elbel and the jail staff on several prosecutions that recently went to trial.
âThey did a fine job with testimony, and the video system and phone system has all worked to a T to bring offenders to justice,â Foradora said. âAnd hopefully, that will make the jail a more secure place.â
Recent cases involved inmates smuggling drugs into the jail internally, and the jailâs video equipment was a benefit to the prosecution.
Schoolâs out, and so is the sun, so that must mean that itâs time for the George C. Brown Community Pool to open, which it will at noon Saturday. There will be new items in the concession stand, and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 percent of the proceeds from goods purchased at Foxâs Pizza Den will go to SPLASH. Watching out for swimmersâ safety this summer will be lifeguards (top photo, front, from left) Sarah Buterbaugh, Amber Baker; Miranda Schultz; (back) Lance Deet, Alicia Switlick, Alex Heitzenrater and Tyler Presloid. The pool is open from noon to 6 p.m.
Students at Mapleview Elementary School boarded the bus for the last time this school year. Both students and staff were all smiles as they headed home to begin their summer vacations. School is officially out for summer for the entire Punxsutawney Area School District.
