To my2cents in my opinion I have done my homework. I have looked into the sites that were listed. at any given point they all seem to be linked to the save the wild life and forest groups. these groups are a bunch of hippocrits. save the trees, but thay go out and buy the same things they are tellin...

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

All that I have read so far on this post is how bad that these windmills are. :mob: I for one have my doubts about them like everone else, but I feel that they will be a good thing. yes the borough will make money on them which means that council will have a reason not to raise taxes again. some bir...

Having a Tyrone Alumni Reunion sounds good to me. Why don't the class officers get together and send out serveys to everyone and see what others think or want? It would give all the kids something to do and get involved with your friends' kids. Why not try a day at a park and then each class could p...

Right on Beck. That is so true. Even the football players can't argue that. I've noticed on Saturday games if the band is at a competition, the crowds are flat without them and the team gets flat sometimes as well. :zzz: Anyway, I hope everyone will keep up the fight for our awesome musicians in th...

A child with special needs weather it be learning support or gifted may not be so easy to home school. Exspecially if the parents both work. It's hard enough trying to get an Autistic child to sit for 10 minutes to do home work at home then alone try and make his home into a school as well. :banghea...

I heard that the music department is safe from any cuts for this year. :bluebounce: Any word on the teachers for sixth grade? :banghead: Are they still not replacing the two that are retiring? :x It stinks if they don't at least hire one new teacher. :guns: They can afford it and it would deeply ben...

I must say I totally agree with "akindergartenmom". When I was in band the football team stunk so bad that finding a seat was no problem. The band was what everyone came to see. 8) There were over 100 musicians and 40 colorguard/majorettes. We won Chapter Championships every year as well a...

THE WINDMILLS MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST THING NOW. I JUST READ IN THE ALTOONA MIRROR THAT PENELECT PLANS TO BUY THE GAMASA PROJECT ON ICE MOUTAIN. :shock: IF SOME OF YOU ARE UNAWARE IN 2008 THE P.U.C.
