I am not saying boycotting their events at all. Just asking. No not really enjoying this fine day, book work for the government kept me pretty busy all weekend. Nice that our government wants to know how and when we make and spend our money isn't it! LOL

Have a question for you Ross, I know that you don't like Elk Konnected. So if it is such a vile organization, why do you let your child go to the things that they put on? I mean, wouldn't you not let him go, kind of like boycotting it? Just wondering!

It has been over 5 years since I have owned the daycare. And some small businesses do bring people to Elk County, like: Traci's Trend, Sweet and Spicy, D&D Guns, and a host of others. As for using the internet, I did that. What I utilized Eco-Development was for the loan. Elk County was awarded money to help start up small businesses, and the county makes a percentage of the interest that is paid on the loan, (something like that). This helped us not use all of our savings to start the business.

Why if I am just answering your questions would you make snide remarks, like that would take an education to use the internet and do research? Is that a slam on me? I just nicely answered your questions and everytime I do you seem to make a slam. I was just stating what I know, just like you are stating your opinion. Please refrain from the rudeness when people are just answering or helping answer your questions.

If you want to know what Economic Development does, surely someone at the commissioners meeting has a job requirement for the job, at least I would think that they would.

I saw this and it made me laugh! I have exams that I have been taking in order to get my license and degree and they are the Praxis test. They are not much fun to take I will tell you that!! LOL

I do want to say that when I started up my daycare in 2005, I used the assistance of the Elk County Economic Director, who was at the time Charles Durbin. He was vital in helping me open the daycare, set up my business plan, and a load of things that I really had no idea of at the time. And yes, I am no longer in business, but that is of my own choice. I am currently student teaching in which I will graduate in May with a Masters in Special Education. My whole point being that the one of the many duties of the Economic director is to assist people who need help in starting up businesses in Elk County. Now, you might ask or think that it doesn't take alot to start up a daycare, but to do it legally it sure does.

Again, I am just letting you know that they did help me.

I really don't know the laws and such. But as to how a meeting is ran, do you actually know how to run a meeting a real meeting? I am not stating this to start anything, just to praise our youth in running meetings. I am a volunteer 4-H leader and have helped some of the younger groups of kids in our club with learning proper parlimentary procedure. Man, if you don't use it regularly it is hard to remember which motions require a second and such. But my point is this, not all meetings are ran so proper all the time. Maybe this was a meeting where they forgot to reconvine. I know our kids will forget things, and even us adults helping lead the meetings do, too. Now, has this happened before, or several times? Just wondering!

Ross, I am pretty sure that all of the teachers at West Elk are highly Qualified. I am highly qualified based on my teaching certificate, also. What he should have said was that to find a french teacher highly qualified is really hard, I am guessing. I don't think there is anything wrong with West Elk Teachers. Ross, just wondering, do you have something against West Elk? I mean, I have been subbing in different districts around the surrounding counties. All small schools are suffering with budget cost. I know it is very tough times for everyone!

I am not hiding a blind eye to nothing. Would I like the US to get out of the red, you bet you I would. But plain and simple, in all things you start off small. If we get any sort of income from the Wind farms it's a good thing if you ask me. I believe to many people look at the negative in everything and not positive things. We are fortunate that the workers that are coming into Elk County are as nice as they are. Everyone that I have met are nice and friendly. The guys that we rent from are paying us in a timely manner, are not tearing up our property, and work usually 7 days a week.

I don't like that the Towers are not US built, but what are we to do? Honestly? Got the answers?? Please do tell!!!

Buck was a very nice man!! He will be missed!

Whether any of you agree or not, I am looking at the small picture of things. The wind towers going up has boosted Elk County and surrounding counties at a time when we can all use the boost! We have two rental properties and got them both rented with, at last count 8 guys I think. Plus, the quick mart and PJ's have more than likely increased income, along with the restaurants in the counties. To me, we need to think locally, cause if we don't look out for Elk County we know that our president won't. I support America, and don't like that they are making things outside of the USA and bring it here to sell. But it's been going on for way to long, and that is part of why I shop locally for almost everything!!! Keep my tax dollars in ELK county!
