Want to make some extra cash

Would you like to make some easy money? Well, Cash Crate is the answer.

Just do simple free offers,surveys,and more to make easy money.

In just the first day, I made over $8.00 dollars.
The picture above shows the first day earnings.

Now some people, like Amy Bass, make over $1000 a month. The very top photo is a photo of her one month where she make over $1500. I would say that is a pretty good check.

The PennDOT Valentine's Day Plowing Fiasco

If you are a resident of Pennysylvania, you had to feel the impact of the recent Valentine's Day snow storm that left many residents stranded on interstates,highways,and roads.

Recently, the Pennsylvania legislature held hearings as to why this happened. The truth is that no one stepped up to the plate and told the truth about it.

One of the main reasons road maintenance was so bad is due to budget rollbacks that cut funding for independent snow plowing. What exactly is this? Well, in the past, besides PennDOT, many independents, including construction firms, were paid to plow areas such as highways and township areas.

Officials gave the typical excuses of poor communication and not responding early enough but this storm still wasn't nearly as bad as past storms such as in 1996.

Schuylkill County-Why are jobs so low paying in this county

Schuylkill County seems to have some of the lowest paying wages around. While this may be good for employers, one has to wonder how to people get by.

If you talk to anyone who makes a good living they will probably tell you that they work out of the county such as in Berks, Dauphin, or Luzerne County.

It is also a well known fact that many college grads do not return to the area and why should they, no high paying white collar jobs are to be found here.

This all seems to contribute to the financial and social stagnation of the whole area. Look inside the local newspaper, such as The Pottsville Republican & Herald, and you will see most jobs are low paying while high paying jobs are usually in the health care field (caring for an aging population) or couseling services (caring for addicted youth and adults). So, add it all up and it is not hard to see why this area continues to lag behind the rest of the state and the country for that matter.

It should also be noted that a lot of individuals cannot speak, read, or write english.

What a poor shithole of a place. Then again where can you buy a house for $8,000 to $10,000.

Is the Purple Page moving soon?

Supposedly, the Schuylkill County Purple Page will be moving to a new home within the next month. The new website will have an easier to remember address, many features that are not currently available, more powerful moderation tools, and the ability of users to choose between posting anonymously or becoming a registered user.

The difference being that members will have access to more features than anonymous users.

Currently, the address for the Purple Page is http://www.members.boardhost.com/purplepage/ and the new address will be ......... well, you will find that out later.

Traffic on the site has been down and hopefully, the new address will provide users with a board setting that they are comfortable with, while at the same time avoiding total chaos.

So, look for something new and different for the Purple Page in the upcoming month or so.

Mr. Shields Trial in Schuylkill County

Probably one of the biggest trials in recent memory is the upcoming Coach Shields trial.

Coach Daniel M. Shields is accused of video taping female students at Nativity BVM High School while they were in various stages of undress in a school dressing room. This has outraged parents who accuse Shields of receiving preferential treatment.

Just recently, the lawyer for Shields, Emmanuel H. Dimitriou, had asked Judge John E. Domalakes for a change in venue for the trial and also separate trials for the charges. Domalakes dismissed the request.

Also, previously, Dimitriou, asked to have the video tapes not entered into evidence saying that police received them illegally. This was due to some teenagers taking the tapes without Shields' knowledge and later handing them over to police. Of course, this was after they viewed the tapes and shared them with friends.

This should be one interesting trial.

Purple Page goes to Registration

I guess it had to eventually happen. Like most forums, the Purple Page now requires registration. Previously, posting was anonymous. This did create a lot of the problems as people would post whatever they wanted by using anonymitity.

It was great to just go there and be able to post right off the cuff. Of course, I see no problem with registering since I don't bash anybody or hide behind my computer. Anything I post is something that I would gladly say to another human being in person.

The only people who would have a problem with the registration would be cowards and those who wish to attack others by name.

I see alot of the regulars have already registered and posted. I think this move will be for the better, especially for people trying to ask a legitimate question and hoping for a helpful answer.

Time will tell I guess. The big discussion so far seems to be the upcoming trial of an ex Nativity football coach who is accussed of taking video of girls at the school without their knowledge. This upcoming case can be seen as akin to the O.J. Simpson trial on a Schuylkill County level.
