disgruntled

I respect your opinion. The God I believe in gave all of us free will, and teaches us to not judge others. That is His job. As an aside, I once saw a young lady with hair the color of the summer sky that was mad because people stared at her. So I do think you have a very valid point about attention seeking.

Are ya'll hearing about the threats being made to certain individuals? Seriously hopes those being threatened are being reported to law enforcement--and not local based on what I'm hearing.

I suspect he didn't travel that far, or speak to any locals.

I've used MCM Windows and Doors in Clarion and they have treated me well with pricing and installation.

Maybe the Sandy Club?

It's almost as if the lightbulb went on that said that the "status quo" wasn't working. Sometimes people pretend at their jobs and are able to fake it for a really long time until people realize that they don't know what they are doing. I'm not sure if it was willful blindness, zero training/knowledge, blind allegiance, or just pure laziness. to add to that: I'm sure someone's "good guy" façade had people fooled. I would bet there were more times than not that he said said, "don't worry--I got this" all the while duping us all to a point while he absconded with gift bags full of money.

How did he miss the "Tickle Belly" in Reynoldsville?!?!? He needs to go back

Joe Nelson is the guy on Brady near Kwik Fill. His number is 771-1076. He has always been fair with pricing and does good work. He has fixed many things for me over the years.

Depending on where the person originated from, it may be because it's a common name and it's a way to differentiate who is who. I have ancestors whose last name was Smith. I would imagine this "trend" may have been really helpful for John and Mary Smith.

Umm. I am an educated professional and I have tattoos. (I am also a former smoker. I rarely drink and never to excess any longer because I grew up and don't like how I feel afterwards.) I have the tattoos I have for me--each of them has very special meaning to me. They aren't for vanity. They are discreet and easily hidden because I am a professional and some people judge others for what they choose to do with their own bodies. No need to paint people with such a broad brush stroke.

DuBois VFW Post 813 is apparently closed by order of the VFW Commander Henry Mannella and there is a locksmith outside.

Joe Nelson near Kwik Fill past Save A Lot has always been reliable and reasonably priced.

I've heard from two reliable sources in different neighboring towns that Stoltz Motors sold/plans to sell. Yet neither knew to whom the deal was made. Anyone know?

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.

come on now, birthdays are important...

I think you mean "Council" in this specific instance for Jackson and Gelfand.

Please stop what you are doing and pray for this family if you're the praying kind. They need to feel the love this area has for all of them. Thank you

The report by the interim seems to be essentially absolving the previous is cause for concern this early in the game. Dated 4/3/23, "Nasuti issues report to DuBois City Council" by wcednews

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.

Odd, I was raised Catholic and never heard of St. Herman until just reading this. I simply used my chosen name for the Confirmation only. After google provided me with who he was, I dug a little deeper, and let's just say--ever odder now. Thanks for the insight--and the chuckle.

I assume the "attitude" comment was directed at me. You don't know me at all. Oddly enough, I personally stand to gain more by a change than many others, but I still don't think it's a necessary change. We don't need a new NAME. We need united instead of fighting over silly things that aren't essential. This "US versus YOU" stuff is the problem. You can change the name of this area that has this zip code to anything you'd like, but the name is not the problem. The mindset is the problem. Changing a name won't fix that. This is tantamount to slapping some lipstick on a pig and calling it pretty. Kevin can legally change his name to Brian, and his family will still probably call him Kevin. We are DuBois. The city residents as well as the Sandy Township residents. So we are going to spend money changing signs when we could put it into important things like streets, trees, water lines, sewage lines, that's wasteful and unnecessary. Oh, and for the record, I own property in the city AND in the township.

Respectfully, I disagree. Changing the name will not change the makeup of our population, nor will it change the mindset of the population. Change simply for the sake of change is silly. The name is not the problem--the population is. We can be united and be one without adopting some new name. My mention of the DuBois, PA on the mail in the area is already proof of that--like it or not the Sandy Township residents are effectively DuBois, PA residents currently.

I guess it would be nice if they'd at least allow some competition for dumpster rentals. The Sherman Antitrust Act An unlawful monopoly exists when one firm controls the market for a product or service, and it has obtained that market power, not because its product or service is superior to others, but by suppressing competition with anticompetitive conduct.

In light of recent developments, is there any possibility of the current trash contract being opened up? The powers that be have essentially tied us to a monopoly as things stand currently. The last time I needed to rent a dumpster for a home improvement project I was limited to using the "big company" because of my address.

I was actually wondering about the nickname just now.
