Please refrain from buying anything from monarch vfd because they seem to think it is ok to involve themselves in illegal activities to make money when there are many other ways to do so and they still have not explained where the money went and what it was used for and they seem to think that they dont have to tell the public anything about where the money went or what it was used for but if you send them a right to know request they must give you whatever info you have requested

The sole purpose of the Shallenbergerplant (located in Masontown, PA in the southwestern corner of the state) is to treat polluted water from industrial gas development in the Marcellus shale, including the process known as hydraulic fracturing – in which drillers blast millions of gallons of chemically-treated water into the earth to extract the gas. The agreement was issued quietly – without any formal notice in the official Pennsylvania Bulletin – and comes as the state is undergoing a gas drilling boom. “We know that Pennsylvania is facing enormous pressure from gas drillers who are generating contaminated water faster than the state’s treatment plants can handle it,” said Earthjustice attorney Deborah Goldberg. “Still, the health of the 350,000 people who depend on the Monongahela River for their drinking water should come first. We’re asking the State not to skimp on its due diligence.” DEP is requiring other proposed treatment plants that expect to handle gas well waste-water to limit or monitor the amounts of toxic chemicals they discharge into drinking water sources. Not so with the Shallenberger plant. The agreement allows dumping of untreated fluids into the Monongahela River without any testing for most of the dangerous chemicals common in gas wastes, including known carcinogens such as benzene. http://www.cleanwateraction.org/press/ backroom-marcellus-dri

I heard Monarch VFD is holding a toy bash. I wonder if they wised up or just figured out new ways to cover things up. I guess the pockets there run deep, or maybe just stitched together. Wonder where this money is going....hmmm

Looking for an old Friend
Hi. I am looking for an old friend of mine. She grew up in the Vanderbilt/Dickerson Run area and for the life of me, I can not remember her maiden name. Her married name was Amy Craig, but the last I heard she was divorced. I haven't seen her since 2004 or 2005. We used to be as close as sisters, but as in a lot of cases, we lost touch as our own families began to take up more of our times. She was living in one of the red brick apartments north on Morrell past the carwash heading into town back then. If anyone knows if she's still in the area or at least doing ok, please let me know. Thank you.

That this issue of leaving inactive voters / ineligible voters on the Voters Registration roll indicates that A bad list can cover up any sort of fraud that could be going on," said Kimball Brace, president of Election DataServices, which advises election supervisors nationwide. His group assembled the data used in the Scripps Howard study. "And a bad list can be indicative of sloppy procedures." The quality of America's voter rolls is deteriorating.
Easier sign-up provisions under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and overworked or incompetent election supervisors have contributed to often grossly inaccurate lists sent to the local polling places to determine who should vote. Curtis Gans, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Committee for the Study of the American Electorate. "The problem is real and could pose a danger in that people can vote in the names of those who have died or moved away. We must create a better standard for cleaning the lists."
In Fayette County Pa. in August 2008 a Federal Election year the Fayette County Pa. Board of Elections decided to delay the purger of 25000 inactive / ineligible voters of a supposely five year purge so this means these voters were accumalated over a five year period . Now I was initially was the denied but I filed a request on Tuesday December 8, 09 in the PA. Supreme Court for a reconsideration of this denial . Now if they deny my request as I expect I will in the U.S. Supreme ourt which I have ninety days to do so .
I have had conversations with certain high profile people which they really believe that since every state has the identical law as Pa. and the American voting act also prescribe the procedures to remove these type of voters within ninety days of an Federal Election which was not complied with that that the U.S. Supreme will docket the case as a case of first instance and of public importance . This Court's ruling will be retroactive and could very possibly include the Federal General November 08 Election . I expected at all times to be denied throughout the state Court system simply because politics plays a major role . I had to exhaust all of my state remidies before going to the U. S. Supreme Court . I knew I would had to go there . By the way I will be the very first layman in the history of the U.S. Su8preme Court to ever argue in front of the Justices . BOY !! What madia exposure this will get , "WORLDWIDE" And it will be out of "FAYETTE COUNTY PA. " !!!!

RE: The Uniontown Hospital
That is so sad. Your aunt went to them for help but they did not even help alleviate her pain.
I thought the law required hospitals to give pain medication to people in pain because there was a big ta-doo about it a few years ago.
I went to the Uniontown Hospital emergency room 3-4 years ago, with swelling that was not painful until after I sat waiting for hours in their waiting room.
I asked the nurses for ASPIRIN and they smugly REFUSED.
Honestly - they had the most uncompassionate attitudes I've ever seen in nurses.
While contemplating losing my place in line to drive down to the 24 hour K-Mart for Tylenol, my name was called.
The Doctor on duty that night wrote a codeine prescription for me, but I am pretty sure that by law the nurses were required to give me an aspirin when I requested it in the waiting room.

I am so sorry that you were in pain, but Nurses can't give you any medication without the MD ordering it. If you were allergic to something we wouldn't know. If you were having a "bleed" aspirin would have made you worse. Gotta do a whole physical before any meds are given.

Today I was given what could be the most frightening information I could ever get hold of in the respect of our independence as individual Americans. The Pennsylvania state budget proposal ( S.B.) 850 has planned to heavily cut state funding to the Greatest device we have as a Free Nation, our libraries. As this Nation’s recession digs deeper and everyone of us feel the pain, our lawmaking body tries to find ways to slash costs. Those governing the budget have now set their sights on education as an easy way to eliminate expenses. We all understand that concessions need implemented. We all understand everyone must bear this weight to make it through to better days. Nevertheless, what S.B. 850 is proposing could bring 90% of the States libraries to their knees. Most of these libraries are small town hubs holding our collective knowledge on their shelves and in their care. Most work with very little allowance as it is. Now they could be as good as gone if what is proposed passes without resistance.

Ever since our Country started down this road to recession, our government has coddled the few to pacify their vociferous notions of sure doom. We hand them Billions upon Billions of dollars to keep life going the same. It has not worked and now we are left with reducing our Nation to ignorance one Grand State at a time. Taking from the People, yet again, to please those most likely responsible for this disaster. We have to draw a line HERE, to stop this offense against our foundation of free knowledge. We have to stand up for our rights as a State, as a People and say no to the death of the common peoples institute for learning !

“We learn by doing” Our Free Library system allows us to learn without censorship, and to do what is necessary to prosper. In this ever-perplexing world, information is the monarch of all. Facts change, new exploration becomes known and fresh ideas surface. Knowledge moves faster today then any other time in history, and without our libraries, we will be left behind. All forward movement in this State could end. The people will lose unrestricted excess to information, which can and will lead to oppression of thought. Our children will suffer with only a generalized education, again governed by the state. They will surely sink ever more into the mud of inequality, with out a free library system.

Not only will this affect our education, it will affect service’s for unemployment benefits, it will drastically reduce federal funding to the tone of 3.8 million dollars, needed funds to keep our libraries operating at the minimum costs they work at now.
This is the moments you as A Pennsylvanian you as Americans you as a Human beings must stand and defy the power that keeps stripping us of our freedoms. This can only be a true democracy if each and every voice is heard. Without the public library, our voices will be oppressed and this is the slide into tyranny.

I beg of you to call EVERY State Senator and Representative over the Memorial Day break, Explain to him or her you will not allow our foundation of free thought to collapse without a fight. If you do not stand and be counted the doors for hundreds of free libraries will close, and a better future will disappear along with it.

Here are the proposed reductions in S.B.850 (Senate Republican Proposal for FY2009-10)
Public library subsidy $75,750,000 reduced to $ 37,000,000 a cut of 51.2 %
Library access (POWER statewide interlibrary deliver) $ 3,792,000 reduced to $0 a cut of 100%
Office of Commonwealth libraries(includes State operations)$ 4,846,000 reduced to $2,396,000 a cut of 50.6%
Library services for impaired & Disabled $2,976,000 reduced to $2,926,000 a cut of 1.7%
Electronic Library Catalog (ASK Here Pa. Access Pa database)$3,792,000 reduced to $ 1,771,000 a cut of 53.3%

A total cut of $44,093,000 plus Federal of $3,8000,000

Sincerely

RE: The Uniontown Hospital
my cousin and i took her 85 year old mother by ambulance to uniontown hospital last spring due to the fact that she was having excrutiation back pain. my cousin had to return to work so i stayed with my aunt. the physician that saw her would not give her anything to ease her pain and told me that she needed to see her physician for pain control. which she had been doing for a few years. her dr. did not answer our voice messages and i even asked the head nurse to see if she could page him for me. they ended up discharging her with no prescriptions. luckily i did have something for pain with me in my purse which i gave her. she died 2 weeks later from internal bleeding. there are many more facets to this story, but it is too painful to recall all at the moment. i would be interested in hearing your story also ...grieving neice

My grandmother was Anna Belle Cumberland Colbert Coligan. Anna Belle was the sister of Sarah (Sally) Mains. Their parents were Marjorie Cumberland and George Colbert. Majorie and Georges children were Sarah Jane Colbert, Anna Belle Colbert, William Arthur Colbert, Dora Colbert, Ernest Colbert and James A. Colbert. Marjorie Cumberland Colbert's mother was Mary Cumberland

Stacey, thank you so much for replying back to my email. Sorry I've been so long getting it. I would love to know all you can share with me about the family. My husband's nephews have children and I am hoping to put this information together for them. My husband's half brother was Bobbie Helms, grandson of Sarah and George. His mother was Betty Jane. Bobbie passed away a few years ago, but his brother Paul and his 2 children and Bobbie's 2 children, would get a closer understanding about their heritage. I can send you what information I have on Sarah's family if you would like it. Thank you so much, it was wonderful seeing your reply.
