On December 12, 2003 The Pottsville Republican and Evening Herald published a letter to the editor from a faith-based group called the Schuylkill Pagans. The group, whose stated purpose is to "provide support and socialization to people of pagan faiths in the Schuylkill County area," recently adopted a two-mile stretch of highway on Route 61 through PennDOT's Adopt-A-Highway program. The sign marking their adopted stretch was recently vandalized. The letter calls for the community to refrain from targeting the group in the future.
