Magistrate William J says accommodations are needed for out of town drunks beyond the county jail.

He cites drive under the influence cases where medicine may impair reaction, arguing law bans operation of a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Local anglers track a Pennsylvania Fish Commission muskellunge stocking experiment in the Susquehanna River, with catches up to 30 inches as efforts continue to test adaptation for wider regional waters.
