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.
 

I truly believe she has the area's best interests at heart.  I hope a few more like-minded people step up to join her.  

I think this situation is dangerous enough to warrant a police presence there if only at peak traffic hours.  Not everyone has the skills to dodge through that intersection successfully.  Even one person injured is way too many!!!
Nine lanes of entering traffic plus trains and foot traffic with a flashing red signal is NOT even vaguely acceptable  handling of this situation.  I go clear back around the Mall to avoid that mess.  Otherwise I use the meadow roads to get around it.  It will only take one mistake to make a serious problem for someone else.  The flashing red is NOT OK.

I see that Jennifer Jackson aka Jennifer Torell(Jennifer Jackson Torell) is running. 
I am not sure how you spell Torell.
She owns Brady street Florist.
I just saw her facebook video and thought I would share it to you folks at GoDuBois. I do not know her personally other than stopping in a couple times to buy flowers in the past.
Here is her video. I hope she doesn't mind me posting it. About 1:15 in the video is where she announces her write-in campaign.

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.

Yes, I applaud Sandy township for this..

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.

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.

As a footnote to your comment...Biden, like Fetterman, was "installed".  Not for the betterment of the whole...but for the betterment for those who installed them.

I heard the cameras are supposed to help traffic flow when 80 is shut down and that traffic causes grid lock.

DuBois City I T director Matt Johnson  recently scouted out future camera  locations with the Sandy Township police department. 

I don't want to get involved in the pettiness of discussing if biden is competent or not, but to me, it is entirely plausible that our military preferred not to shoot it down, so as to gain time to assess the balloon's intelligence gathering methods.
Please note, I am not a biden fan or apologist.

Every squirrel finds a nut.
 

be a patrioot.

I am a Republican, and though I am not considering leaving the party, I wish that voters would curtail blindly lining up behind either party.  The two-party system was established as a means of "checks and balances", forgoing this system will lead us into a socialistic state.

You used to be able to access a trail immediately across 119 from Murray's Ford, which goes past the concrete pump house for the Sykesville water system.  I believe WW Equipment sits on a portion of the trail now, but the trail will take you up to 322 a hundred yards or so behind Sheetz.  There was also a pond along the trail and the entire area would be ripe for the new GoDuBois Metal Detector group.

Great picture!  Glad to hear she's doing well!
Penn Highlands NICU is superb!  One of my grandsons will be turning five in a few weeks, and if it wasn't for the efforts at the Penn Highlands NICU, he may never have made it!

Today Faith Marie is 3 months old. She is 8# & wearing 0-3 mo clothing.

Doctor Hassen was my grandson's doctor and did an amazing job.  He also communicated things very, very well!
