Oak Hill Acting Interim Police Chief Diane Young stands proudly in front of her squad car at the police station prior to Saturday's Christmas parade. Then she radios the officers on duty to see that her officers are in place to deal with traffic issues associated with the parade. For two days straight prior to Saturday's parade, Young was inundated by the Central Florida media about her admission on her job application six years ago as a rookie cop that she had used cocaine 100 times two decades ago.

OAK HILL --

For two days straight, TV news camera crews and a couple of metro newspaper reporters followed Acting Interim Police Chief Diane Young after an Orlando media outlet received a tip last Thursday that she had admitted on her job application six years ago as a rookie cop that she used cocaine 100 times more than 20 years ago.

The U.S. Post Office and I are parting ways as much as possible (sometimes one must mail things, but I’ll use UPS or E-cards as much as possible). They drive me nuts! They keep upping their postage while their services stink and shrink daily. They blame their problems on everyone but themselves and I’m sick of it.

They had competition for online postal services so they made themselves a website, too, but you can only send via the most expensive ways from there otherwise you have to schlep your packages to their brick and mortar store to mail it at a more reasonable price.
