  2. Don't complain. At least it's getting done! Be grateful for even inconvenient blessings.
  3. The beginning of the answer? 1. Pause the Consolidation where it stands right now. Note I did not say STOP!! Whether or not that is a good idea is yet to be shown. The truthful and current facts would be a wonderful place to start. 2. Spend the time during a PAUSE to determine the real financial, legal and consequences of past decisions on the future of each entity involved. Then with that knowledge, choose to go forward or go back to basics as individual communities. 3. Ignorance of past and present circumstances will lead us into more trouble down the road. 4. Would you buy a home or property, sign a contract or any sort of financial and legal dealing without knowing all of the facts and where they will land you in the future? Ever heard of buyer's remorse, or hear someone talk about how they decided to take a chance and just go for it only to land in hot water? How do successful buyers win? They look before they leap and make sure the info they got is in writing. DuBois and Sandy have never gotten that assurance. 5. Have you ever considered jumping over a solid fence before looking to see where you can land on the other side? Would you let your kids do it, risking their future? 5. Are you willing, based on the past and present dealings, to risk your potentially better future on a gamble? What will it hurt to stop, pause, look and listen before it's too late? 6. Have we learned from the past? 7. Please find and sign the Sandy Petition to ask the judge to Pause the Consolidation till the rest of the story is known? Then depending on what is discovered and how it is to be dealt with in the future, make an informed decision on how to proceed. 8. We are looking for 1000 or more signatures from Sandy Township residents. Currently we have approximately 250. I would recommend that DuBois residents start a petition of their own to Pause the Consolidation as soon as possible. We have had many DuBois residents ask to sign it, but the way it is written, we cannot do that. 9. The petition should be ready to hand to the judge in the first week of October before the actual hearing. 10. This is our chance to potentially correct a mistaken or even illegal decision. Help us get time to figure it out correctly BEFORE it's too late. 11. Keep an eye out here for locations at which you can find the petition to sign it.
  4. There are a million details to think of in a well functioning chicken coop. A small door for them to go out in the morning is good. My chickens have a square 2 x 2 roost for their feet. I change it out for a second one every time the coop is cleaned for one that has stood on end in the direct sun to sanitize it since the last time the coop was cleaned. Be sure the windows face the rising sun in the morning to wake them up. That also encourages them to go to bed earlier in the evening. Always close the door right after they go in for the night. Right now, mine go in at 8:15 but it gets earlier every evening. Is the nest designed to have the eggs roll away from the laying box? That could be so they can't eat their eggs. I have one egg eater (bad habit) and that nest box is always a sticky mess that needs a lot of cleaning.
  5. I've been very impressed with the attitude of the people who have stopped to sign the petition. We even get people from DuBois who are hoping they can sign it also, but as it is written, only Sandy Township Residents are permitted to sign this specific petition. Everyone seems to understand that this is the bext thing for both entities, a chance to sort out the problems BEFORE a more complicated situation is entered into. No one in their right mind would buy a house that hasn't been title searched for true ownership and for financial/legal issues before they take on the responsibilities and debts of the former owner. Al that is being asked, is time to get all of the facts out in the open so the citizens know EXACTLY what they are going to have to deal with.
  6. Yet another location may be available for those in Treasure Lake who are asking for a location near them. Old 255 is right outside of the gate and may provide a place for people to easily pull off and sign, then go on their way. I'll know by Monday.
  7. A Petition signing table is being manned today at Save A Lot on S Brady Street today till 8 pm. There will be another location at Volpes Car Sales in Sabula just as soon as I can get petition pages to him which I should be able to do this evening.
  8. So, for your business to stay profitable, you would still have to produce the same amount of product. Who would be handling the whips and chains?
  9. Hey, it happens to me all the time! Too bad it wasn't this past Wednesday so it would all be behind her!
  10. There are flags specifically for this purpose on Amazon. They could be embroidered by a local firm to be specific to the fire company they supported. I suppose this could be a donation from the fire company they served when they died, but someone would have to organize it.
  11. There will be a meeting this Saturday, August 19 at 11 am at the Hickory Grange Hall. It is specifically for anyone who wants to work with circulating the petition. There will be no debate. The petition is to PAUSE the Consolidation till after the criminal decisions and the financial audits are all complete. Once that is done, whether it takes months or years, then the question of whether the Consolidation should take place at all will be raised.
  12. The petition is now being circulated, and hopefully we will be manning locations at which people can stop on their way home in the evening to sign it and get on their way. Locations will be announced by this weekend. Hopefully the radio stations and Courier will also have news soon.
  13. Just the absolute best for this kiddo!
  14. He'll probably need at least $600000 + to repay those whose money he stole.
  15. There are no words to describe this anymore, but Satan will never stop! That doesn't mean he wins, but misery and despair are his calling signs, never peace and hope for the future.
  16. Thank you. With proper knowledge of the details, I would bet everyone would see the common sense of what needs to be done for everyone from the weakest to the strongest. Isn't that what community is all about?
  17. Yes, and this petition is in support of that motion but this is directly from the Sandy individuals.
  18. Rocks and clay are usually a good thing as long as they don't make the soil too dense. If you have to resort to tilling versus turning in order to plant things, then you have to amend with something like mushroom compost which is what it's really meant for, to open the soil's air pockets so the plant roots can breathe. The clay and small rocks add minerals to the soil which feed the Mycorrhiza in the soil, which then feed the roots of the plants and YOU! I don't know about the orange color but I'll do some reading today. Yes, you are correct about the petition. It's not meant to be a stop forever to the consolidation, but more of a "recess" from current activities so that other business can be safely dealt with first. Then if all is dealt with properly and safe to go, people can approach the continuation as they feel is warranted. Nothing detrimental will have been allowed to happen in the meantime. Everyone needs to back up, find out exactly what happened, breathe again, and then with ALL facts on the table, make good logical decisions for the citizens of our future. We can't handicap them before they're even old enough to take on the job.
  19. This is to stop what they (and their unknown cohorts) were working to get from Sandy Township from happening while everyone else's attention is diverted by thinking it's all been resolved. All we're asking is that someone lock the doors to more harm till everything stolen have been completely inventoried, all evidence is dug up and judged by a court of law. I don't think that's asking too much at all. Everything in both entities can proceed as usual, but all grants that were awarded which involved both DuBois and Sandy would be put on hold till after all of the audits, investigations, legal hearings, etc. are completed. Then both entities would potentially have a chance to rethink their decisions in light of any and all new findings. Thank you WMJ77. I hope it's more peaceful there for you and your family. The skilled job market is growing by leaps and bounds regardless of what anyone is saying. I haven't heard of anyone with marketable skills not finding a job.
  20. This petition is to stop any further opportunities for them to get in the backdoor for possibly years to come. You can stop in at the Sandy Township Tax Collector during open hours to sign the petition. Signatures are coming in. I've already had to refill her petition supply. Get up and get your butt on the bandwagon. Don't complain about which way the wagon turn if you're not willing to help steer or push.
  21. You're welcome to add a note from yourself to the Petition. It will be separate but included in the package.
