Um just wanted 37 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,000 to thank for the quick response. They did come out and run a camera in the 38 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:07,360 land that's sinking at the back of my house. They determined it's coming from 39 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:12,159 611. Um Lindsey Bors, Terry Bors, if anybody knows him, the daughter Cody 40 00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:15,360 Bors works for Armstrong. Their water is all coming down at me. Everything 41 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,760 attached to my house has been compromised. My sidewalk has fallen. My 42 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:24,480 stoop in front has fallen. Had to take my mailbox off because the stoop is 43 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,239 cracking. I moved bought a new mailbox, put it on a post, and moved it to the 44 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:33,360 side. The latest thing that's concerning is my gas meter is tilting to the left. 45 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:37,920 And the gas company came out a turning the gas company came out a Roger and he 46 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,840 tested and he said that it's starting to like pull. He said keep a watch on it. 47 00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,319 Well, in the middle of the night if the ground sinks and somebody tosses and 48 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:52,000 there's drug activity next door to me too, lady taken out in a body bag two 49 00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:55,920 Saturdays ago, they throw a vape up there or something up there and I go up 50 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:01,599 in flames in the middle of the night and I blow up. Then who's responsible? Okay. 51 00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:06,879 They they can't be directing their water straight at me. It's not right. Last 52 00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,920 night, all the water coming down. Last month when I was here, we have had eight 53 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:15,599 rains since July 21st when the last meeting it poured down. It stormed. It 54 00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:19,919 stormed. We had all these rains and I keep getting water every time. 55 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:24,479 Everything sinks more and more and more. And it's coming from up at the top of 56 00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:27,280 the alley. And last night, I could have swore 57 00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:30,479 someone had it some pump and they thought it was funny and they're 58 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,479 directing it down my way because I stood for three hours. If I can just give you 59 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,560 these pictures, I didn't hit a chance. I just got them printed at Walmart. I was 60 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:45,120 out there till 11:00 with a push broom pushing the water toward the drain. It 61 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:49,280 bypasses. I need Mr. Addis. I need your the street department. I need you to 62 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:53,520 direct someone in the street to come out and give me the kind of drain that 63 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:58,880 everybody else in the city has that actually It takes in water. It bypasses 64 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:04,560 me. There's four pictures. That was last night. This was this morning. This is 65 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:10,479 last night. Either last night and this morning. 66 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:15,759 It's eroded. The road is eroded. The neighbor that's directing his water 67 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:19,520 toward me actually counted one day 16 trips back and forth. It's his own 68 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:24,639 private driveway. I guess I got a mud hole. This is what's happened to my 69 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,639 drain. 70 00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:32,600 The neighbor direct in the water thinks it's funny to run his tire 71 00:05:28,813 --> 00:05:32,600 [clears throat] tracks in my yard. 72 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,400 This is my neighbor's fix for their water. 73 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:47,440 These two houses are about the same distance apart as my neighbor at 611 74 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:53,120 Davidson. And this is up at the between the 700 and 800 block on Bir Street 75 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:57,039 coming down from Isabella. and they do not direct their water to their 76 00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,199 neighbors. So, this is what I need to submit. And I've got on my phone if you 77 00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:05,280 need dates. >> I'm just asking for a proper drain so 78 00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:09,840 that I don't have damage to my property and for people to quit sending their 79 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:14,880 water into my yard. I am at the lowest level. That's all I'm asking. Mr. Addis, 80 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:20,319 would you please see that I pay my taxes and I need a drain like everybody else. 81 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,360 Thank you, >> Judy Keller. 82 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:37,280 Uh, thank you, Mayor and Council. As you know, there are 280 names on our 83 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:44,000 Veterans Memorial Honor roll at the corner of Pittsburgh Street and 119 84 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:49,600 North. Unfortunately, many of those men were either lost at sea, buried or sea 85 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:54,960 at sea, or were laid to rest in American military cemeteries in other parts of 86 00:06:51,840 --> 00:07:00,720 the world like Italy, Belgium, France, Normandy, Tunisia, and the Netherlands. 87 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:05,199 And some are even laid to rest in Arlington and Gettysburg in other 88 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:13,919 military cemeteries in the United States. But 113 out of those 280 men on 89 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:19,360 the honor roll are laid to rest in our area cemeteries within the boundaries of 90 00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:27,520 the Conno area school district. Places like Dunbar, Moskin Township, Dawson, 91 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:32,479 Normalville, Mil Run, and Dickerson Run. But we have three cemeteries here within 92 00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:38,160 the city limits of Connellsville. Hill Grove on Snyder Street, Chestnut Hill, 93 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:43,840 and what is called Old St. Joseph's off of Wills Road near East Park. There are 94 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:51,520 495 veterans buried at Hillgrove on Snyder 95 00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:58,400 Street. 21 of them were lost while wearing the uniform of the United States 96 00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:05,919 military during a time of war, Civil War, World War I, etc. through the 20th 97 00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:11,440 century and the Middle East conflicts. There are 115 veterans buried at 98 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,919 Chestnut Hill and eight of them made the supreme sacrifice. 99 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,680 I would just like to remind the community of a project that was 100 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:27,599 initiated [clears throat] earlier this year, adopt veterans grave 101 00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:31,120 project, and that we could follow in the footsteps of the people of the 102 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:39,680 Netherlands. There is an American military cemetery 103 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:45,440 at Marraten in the Netherlands. 8,300 Americans are laid to rest in just that 104 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:51,120 one American military cemetery. And there are 1,700 more 105 00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:54,500 who were missing in action. Their bodies were never recovered. And there are 106 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,520 markers for them at Marraten. [clears throat] 107 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:06,240 This has been a tradition since the end of World War II in 1945 108 00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:11,519 for the people uh at Marraten. And it is so 109 00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:20,080 uh cherished as a tradition for all those years that there are 300 110 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:24,080 families waiting to adopt a fallen hero. What is more poignant is we have three 111 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:29,279 area men who are laid to rest at Margraden. 112 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:33,839 Grant Lintman, Daniel Filurn, and William Yurich. They either went to 113 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:38,640 Conno High School or Dumbar Township High School. and Lieutenant Walter Carr 114 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:43,360 who was also a graduate of Dunore Township High School was shot down over 115 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:48,880 Germany. His body was never recovered, but there 116 00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:54,080 is a marker for him at Margaret. And so I'm just announcing that again, 117 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:58,560 reminding the community. Uh we do have of the 113 118 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:05,200 men who are laid to rest in our area cemeteries, 34 of them have been 119 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:10,880 adopted. So we're almost halfway there. Some people have adopted multiple 120 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:18,160 graves. We have one family has adopted 10 graves in Springfield Township. 121 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:23,120 Um I'm on Facebook. Uh my phone number is 724628 122 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:30,399 3639. My email is kellerja 123 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:36,079 at zoomin.net.

I'd ask uh Rita if we can uh we'll put on the city's Facebook page anybody 127 00:10:52,640 --> 00:11:00,079 that wants to um uh adopt a grave to reach out to you um and you can give 128 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:05,440 them the information on what they need to do and uh where they're located at. 129 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:09,839 » Well, you know, it's just it just struck me uh 130 00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:15,360 at my heartstrings to think the people of the Netherlands did that for 131 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:20,160 Americans, people they never even met. And these are people in our school 132 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:25,360 district. So any any family, any individual, any club organization, a 133 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:30,640 school group, uh reach out to me.

We have their uh year of birth, their date of death, and also 135 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:41,760 if someone adopts a grave, uh you don't have to cut the grass. Just go and pay 136 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:48,560 your respects. If it's once a year, it could be Memorial Day or Veterans Day or 137 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:54,079 the uh date of the man's sacrifice or his birthday. Because if you adopt one 138 00:11:50,880 --> 00:12:00,079 of these uh fallen heroes, I have bi biographical information on them, their 139 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:04,959 uh dates of of birth, their dates of death, and even where they made that 140 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:09,839 sacrifice. So, you know, it makes it more personal. If you adopt that person, 141 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:13,519 uh you adopt them into your memory, uh their memory, I should [clears throat] 142 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,560 say, you adopt their memory into your family and it it does make it very 143 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:19,200 personal.
