Prevention seen as key to fighting drug abuse Riggs says
Richard Riggs newly appointed director of Adams County Council on Drug and Alcohol Abuse told about 15 parents at Gettysburg Concerned Parents Forum that prevention is essential. He urged proactive school and community programs tailored to age, environment, and changing needs, and warned that scare tactics fail while factual education can prompt curiosity and educated use. Riggs linked teen drug use to broader problems such as juvenile crime, teenage pregnancy, and deaths, stressing a holistic approach to problem behaviors.

Judge upholds Miller decision on Adams County gun permit
A judge affirmed Adams County Sheriff Bernard V. Miller’s denial of Daniel Sullivan’s gun permit, ruling Miller did not abuse discretion or act contrary to law. The March 15 hearing featured conflicting testimony on Sullivan’s character and threats, with law enforcement officials differing on his suitability while two local chiefs supported issuance.
