  1. The Township secretary took a better job with the DuBois School District as the executive secretary to the Assistant Superintendent.
  2. Three of them are running unopposed this spring: Bernardo, Gabriel and Walsh. I guess someone could wage a write in campaign.
  3. The City manager can be fired at anytime. There could be clauses in his contract that he would be owed a certain amount of money to get rid of him. It would be cheaper for the council just to keep paying him then fire him for just cause once he is found guilty.
  4. These are excellent questions for city residents to ask at Monday's council meeting.
  5. When the vote happens in 2025 the voters will have the choice to elect a all Sandy Township City council if they so desire.
  6. I will ask my contact at the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development since they have been providing much of the funding for Consolidation and I am sure they want to protect their investment in the new City once consolidation occurs in 2026
  7. Maybe a temporary state takeover of the City of DuBois is needed because it appears that there was a systematic failure by all in power.
  8. If he was the Sandy Township manager, the charges would have resulted in his immediate termination. The affidavit of probable cause shows a serious lack of internal accounting at the city.
  9. Upcoming meetings of the DuBois City Council that area residents should attend:
  10. Camera command center located around the tunnels underneath Brady St. While it was being built one of the nearby building started to collapse and was quickly demolished.
  11. DuBois City I T director Matt Johnson recently scouted out future camera locations with the Sandy Township police department.
  12. There is a survey being planned seeking recreational ideas from DuBois - Sandy residents.You can submit what you would like to be developed. Should be ready in a few months.
  13. Biden had said COVID is a, "pandemic of the unvaccinated" He would have been fine if he had gotten 7 more booster shots. Says Faucci
  14. These planes still use jet fuel. They are hybrids. https://www.aviationtoday.com/2021/07/20/electric-cessna-grand-caravan-development-fly-2024/
  15. The company that operates flights at the DuBois Airport will begin to change out their aircrafts to electric. Southern Airways and Surf Air Mobility Agree to Merge No immediate changes expected to current Southern operations, but electrification of the Southern fleet to be accelerated. https://www.aviationpros.com/airlines/press-release/21268397/southern-airways-southern-airways-and-surf-air-mobility-agree-to-merge
  16. CDC says to wear a mask outdoors will protect you from ticks.
  17. Page 4 DuBois HISTORY Meantime many lumber camps operated in the forests where crews cut and stocked logs splash-dams aided in creating temporary flood stages in the streams for floating the logs to the millsite where they were rapidly converted into huge piles of sawed boards and bill-stuff, box-shooks, ship-spars and shingles, constantly being sent to markets by rail. To get over the near half-mile of low lying beaver dam, to the homes now being built on higher ground on either side of it, slabs from the mill were used to lay a kind of corduroy, or mud-bridge later to be called the 'plank road',—now the tree-lined 'boulevard.' Very soon after the mill began to operate, it was found that coal veins of 5 ft. to 6 ft. thickness lay in the strata west of town, of easy access to the railroad. Development began by erection of tipple and siding, and within three years a considerable trade was added to that of the lumber, and DuBois became a live and growing town, so that with the year 1880 a bank and a newspaper were established. Hotels and boarding houses sprang up on Long and Courtney streets. A Methodist church was built on Booth street, a Catholic church on State street ,a grist-mill on Long and a schoolhouse where the City Hall now stands. While the postoffice was on. Long street side of the town, the Main street section developed toward the coal mines so that for many years there was a dual town known as the East or DuBois side, to distinguish it from the older or `Rumbarger' side. Rivalry existed for a long time between the two sections ,coal miners and their families for Rumbarger, and mill-men and woodsmen for the DuBois side. Both sides were about equally noted for pugilistic capacity and the frequent encounters in bar-rooms and picnics and on the streets later resulted in fixing to the Rumbarger section, the appella- tion of 'Bloody First' ward. Donegal Hill, as another title to that section, http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/clearfield/history/dubois-history.txt
  18. Maybe moved to a giant underground storage facility at Boyers, Pa? https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/10/28/iron-mountain-storage-facility-expanding/
  19. In my Bell of Pa phone book from 1992 Mc Donalds is listed with the Liberty Blvd address In the 93 book their address is Rt 255 No Walmart listed in 92 but it is listed in 93
  20. The Walmart site opened in 1993 so my guess would be McDonald`s moved that year or 1994 Red Lobster opened in 1995
  21. No. Most waste industry deaths are caused by the collecting process. https://waste-management-world.com/a/swana-data-shows-3-deaths-per-week-last-month-in-solid-waste-industry
  22. Many municipalities are having one company perform trash services because of mandated laws that became too expensive for the local government to provide. There were also many other job related deaths in Pennsylvania in 2017. https://www.osha.gov/dep/fatcat/dep_fatcat.html
  23. I have had many variety of birds at my feeder. Going through about a quart of bird food a day.
