  2. Just think, if we took a little a little off of the 120 Billion that was sent to Ukraine. We would be able to hire thousands and thousands more security guards for our schools. We need to protect ALL of our children!! This is simple to fix. All you need is common sense with LAW & ORDER! We can not TRUST any part of the Biden Administration and 90% of our politicians. They don't care about WE the PEOPLE, all they care about is MONEY in their pocket!!

  3. Protect the identity of the whistleblower. They had reasons for wanting to stay anonymous. If they want people to know who they are, they can step forward. Why expose the one person that had the integrity to say something about dealings that looked wrong to them? There were many people that had to know, yet said nothing. The allegations, if found to be true, involve big names and multiple levels in the community. Their influence could make things rough. Again, they all deserve their day in court. Here's to hoping ALL of them pay if they are found guilty, big names included...or maybe, especially the big names.

    DuBois VFW closed

    The current VFW's and AM Legion, perhaps even the AmVets is discouraging. When I was a boy, my uncle - a pilot in WWII - would take me along with him to the Am Leg and the VFW. I would get an orange pop and wander around the club. My memory is that there was more to those clubs than a bar with less expensive booze. There were locations set aside where members and guests could sit in comfortable chairs and read the news papers, or just sit quietly. It was a place JUST FOR VETERANS. In my adult life these clubs have permitted so-called "social members" to crowd in for the bar. No more exclusiveness for veterans who earned the right to have their own club. It has been years since I was in any of them. By the way, I am retired military. Marines in the early 60's with a year at Danang, later 3 years as a weapons instructor for a Navy Seabee Bn, some years in various Nat'l Guard units, I retired when I came home from Desert Storm/

    Who in the hell cares??????

    Once again, the crooked Liberal DOJ is trying to hang Trump for anything they can. You all do realize that Trump is not the real target here. You are, the voter. The Liberals are trying to take away your possible vote. Just more proof of how the voting system is corrupt. Now remember, this group of people, are the same hypocrites who are constantly telling you that everyone except liberals is trying to take away your democracy. So what has Trump done that is so bad that you can't vote for him??? Tell the world he was cheated during the crooked voting process. Surprise you fools, there are millions of Americans who believes the exact same thing. Are you gonna jail all of them for what they believe??? He has boxes of government records in his home just like Biden and most likely all the other presidents before him. We all know, pretty much, all the things that Trump has done in his life. Is he pure? HELL NO. Is he worse than all the other voted for's? HELL NO. In fact, I am willing to bet he has lost tons of his own money since he stepped into the dirty swamp of politics. Just think of the current living crooked pollys. How much are the Clintons worth??? The Obama's??? The Bush's???? The Bidens???? The Pelosi's ????? on and on and on. A hypocrite never believes that he/she has to live by they rules they make up. They just expect everyone else to live by their rules. So when you ask a hypocrite why your life sucks more than it ever has, you get a hypocritical answer that makes no damn sense at all. Don't forget to vote for more of the same come silly season. What you have been voting for is working out for you, ain't it?????? Buy a windmill, use your solar panels for a tanning bed with the money you don't have. Enjoy your future in a liberal created democracy.

  9. I hear "the establishment" is mounting a smear campaign against at least one of the write-in candidates for "sins" committed over 30 years ago. The woman owned her mistake--which turns out to not be a mistake given the outcome. And has been honest and forthright about other mistakes or missteps she has made. The only perfect human died on the cross. Shame on those that would attempt to disparage her. I would rather work with someone that can own their mistakes than attempt to cover them up.

  10. Much damage has already been done to this area and if convicted, the public must demand full disclosure of everyone involved. There are parties on the peripheral that may not have done anything illegal (assuming a conviction), but they certainly should have known something was not right. If the indicted are found guilty, I certainly hope the city pursues a civil trial to claw back identified money (this is in addition to criminal penalties).

    Another thing is that the hospitals also replaced cold & flu numbers as covid. BIG BUCKS when they treat and admit covid patients. Just because the test shows positive doesn't mean you have covid, which was an easy way to get the covid numbers UP and the cold & flu numbers DOWN! I know many many people who tested positive for covid and didn't even have a sniffle, and I'm sure they still counted them as a covid number.

    Wearing a mask just shows everyone how stupid you are. CDC accidently admits that masks do not work. The only thing masks do is restrict oxygen from your normal breathing. Just remember they lied about the Vaccine, just so you know, there are no boundaries with their fake info.

We are also mindful and appreciative today of all members of the U.S. Military who serve to protect and defend the Constitution and We the People. “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them.” - John F. Kennedy It is also JFK's birthday today!

  17. Looks like another problem for the consolidation. Tonights Courier points out they havent been meeting because of the big Ego's on the committee. Some committee people dont want to work with Supervisor Salandra or Twp Manager Arbaugh. If the Chairman has not been calling meetings he is responsible. Rev Whitaker was chosen to be the leader. If he cant show leadership and lead this group, he needs to RESIGN immediately. With the Suplizio story, and now this, it seems behind the scenes this consolidation is nothing more than the usual egos and more chaos. Thank you to Sam Mollica for being on top of this. Working hard to save this. But the Twp should be granted another ballot. And also look at who's name keeps popping in this story of all sides. Toni Cherry. Supports Herm. City solicitor. And committee solicitor. Maybe they need new legal advice.

    DuBois Jewish Community

    I've written a book titled "History of the Jewish Community of DuBois, Pennsylvania: A Tribute to the DuBois Ministerium." This book is for the people of DuBois, Pennsylvania; past, present and future. It is a compilation of DuBois' founding history, the story of interfaith cooperation and biographies of Jewish individuals and families who made contributions to the tapestry of a once thriving DuBois community. The roots of interfaith cooperation run deep in DuBois, and many Christian families have a proud Jewish heritage. Through the years the people of DuBois have shown an interest in learning about and connecting to the historic roots of Judaism. This is a story of fellowship and teamwork. It is a tribute to all of the people of DuBois and to the continuing legacy of the DuBois Ministerium. If you would like me to send you a PDF version of the book please email me at richlevine00@hotmail.com.

    Holiday Eating Tips

    HOLIDAY EATING TIPS 1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls. 2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly, it's rare. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas! 3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat. 4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission. 5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Holiday party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello? 6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog. 7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again. 8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert, Labor Day? 9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards. 10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner. Remember this motto to live by: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate and wine in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming " WOO HOO what a ride!" MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

  22. I agree everyone has a right to due process. Still, there is every indication of lots of improper acts as we all agree. My question is when will these additional arrests come? Does the two-tier justice system so prevalent in our country apply to City officials too? One admitted in public to obstructing an investigation, yet nothing has happened. I am frustrated, discouraged, and angry.

    I don't know about you all, but I have had enough of the Taylor Swift news at the football field. Who cares? I sure don't! I have nothing against her at all. I would just rather hear about football news! Players have been dating and having famous people in the box for years. Why all of a sudden is this a big deal? Come on, news people, get a life!

  30. A follow up to this post. Whomever on this site that called the election board trying to file a complaint against me for writing this should of just maybe concerned themselves with other issues like maybe how corrupt and unprofessional our council had been acting in the last month or so. Sorry it didn't work out in your favor. And as the results are showing we did not run out of ink. The write in candidates were working at every precinct but it appeared no incumbents were trying to save their positions.

  32. Was brought to my attention today that the sample ballot that is shown in our local paper only has 1 spot for a write in on both tickets. Both the Republican and Democratic incumbents are listed with just one space open after their names. It says to vote for no more than 2. Seems like they're forcing you to vote for an incumbent with only 1 write in. I do work at my local precient hall and i'm calling Clearfield in the morning to see if this can be explained. I.m sure they'll be lots of questions regarding this on Tuesday.

It might not be that easy but they would be afraid. For a town that size paying someone that much money is ridiculous. And to continue to be paying for staying home is ridiculous.

  35. Very good points. I had to read it twice to make sure i understood it but still not sure i'm understanding her thinking. Is she looking out for the best interests of the city (like she's supposed to] or is she in so deep with Squirm trying to get a casino into her hotel that she's scrambling now? She says she is not a criminal lawyer but rather a civil lawyer (and probably couldn't win a case anywhere other than Clearfield County} but she better have a criminal lawyer on retainer. Like i said after the council meeting when she made her infamous statement (you don't get to ask questions you get to make comments} she just needed time to come up with some fancy mumbo jumbo bullshit lawyer type of reply.

  36. Enlighten me please...Herman's Hermits the chaos continues... Have you read the article published today in the Courier Express from the Solicitor? She's defending the payment of Herms legal fees explaining the poor man didn't have a dime to his name, and his bank accounts were frozen. Yet? and that's a big yet, they weren't sure who the AG was targeting but chose to help the poor guy out? That doesn't make sense does it? Also they paid his legal fees "not knowing" charges were coming and extended his contract a week prior to the charges being filed? Enlighten me also if he doesn't have a current bank account how is he cashing his pay check? Have his bank accounts been freed up, or are they cashing a check and giving him the cash? Are those invoices in the sealed envelopes approved without being looked at, at the council meetings? I'm confused.

  37. I just watched Jennifer's video she puts out everyday and am shocked and saddened by what she said. She was accused of buying votes with her promotional giveaways which she has done in the past as well. i cannot believe how ignorant and asinine theses clowns are that you have running your community. News flash to the morons who accused her of this not all those people who watch her videos live in DuBois but we do however frequent her business. I like how she also called out the power hungry solicitor in the vid haha On a side note I know that if I was running for something and got threatened etc. I would hunt you down and make you pay.

    As an outsider who ended up here about 3 decades ago, I have observed nastiness and stupidity from both sides. The first 20 years I recall city and township suing each other non-stop over sewage. Lived in Sandy since I arrived. DuBois it is. No one has a clue where Sandy Township is, unless you live here. At least the name DuBois is recognized beyond 30 miles.

    I do not want to defend nor condemn anyone until the forensic accounting & judicial process has played out. A majority of voters from both municipalities have endorsed the merger and what has been alleged should not affect the final outcome, though it may determine how it occurs. I believe the name should be "City of DuBois", but I also believe districts should be adopted, such as "Sandy District" and "Treasure Lake District". Some here should be old enough to recall the school district merger of DuBois, Sandy, Sykesville, etc., and how it was facilitated by having the surrounding towns retain identity through the elementary schools. That merger is now approaching 60 years past and many of the firebrands for and against are now arguing about in their afterlife. My point is our area cannot be short-sighted about what has allegedly occurred. That die has been cast and there is nothing that can change facts. Work on improving what we can, but do not ignore the past or let the past have undo influence on our future.

  41. So where is the $364,990 that wasn't spent? The list of contributors/contributions versus the expenditures leaves a significant amount unspent. *I'm not saying it's right, but some of those people likely felt pressured to donate because of his "clout" in town along with the clout he may have had if he had run a successful campaign and won the seat. And...why wasn't he put on administrative leave or terminated when the "raid" happened in April 2022? He should have been removed from any and all accounts that very day at a minimum. Casting suspicion on an entire local government should be reason for termination. One would think he's (they've) had time to move things around, cover it up and be able to access it once ousted. I don't think he was operating alone. Time to clean house.

  47. Fortunately for us in Falls Creek the borough council didn’t fall for Wasted Management’s (pun intended) proposed increase that would seen the monthly rate increase from $13 per month to $29 by the 3rd year (an 8% to 9% increase per year) and put it out to bid and excepted Hugill Sanitation’s bid of $18.50 per month with an option of a 3% increase each year. They obviously weren’t offered an underhanded kick back like the $60 grand DuBois was getting, nor would have they considered it either! And Hugill can drive from Mahaffey for that price and we still get a monthly dumpster for the residents to use for other than garbage. Fortunately for me I am old enough for the senior rate of $15.75 per month. DuBois’ contract with Wasted Management definitely needs looked into to see if there was anything illegal in it considering the 60 grand kickback.
