It's 'Oh butterscotch' from now on, joked Laura Coppinger, while visiting with David Roberson of Northwoods during a food drive at Grandma's Cookies on Main Street in St. Charles Tuesday November 15, 2011 to support Coppinger's ouster as the well-known Sugar Plum Fairy of St. Charles' Christmas Traditions.  Coppinger, 29, was fired for cursing, not on the job, but when she went to take a drug test mandated for all city employees. She accidentally flushed the toilet, which is prohibited. When she was told she would have to wait at the drug testing facility until she could provide another urine sample, she said she swore out of frustration because the delay meant she would miss a job interview. She was told a short time later to go home.
