Lots of things coming up in the next couple of months.
Candidates Debate If you're interested in what's happening politically in Wyoming County, you just may want to attend the debate between district attorney and judge candidates. It's being help on April 27, 2009 at the Tunkhannock Area High School Auditorium. For myself, I'm very interested in hearing what George Skumanick has to say about his widely publicized actions as well as hearing from the judge candidates.

Wyoming County District Attorney the Topic of International News
George Skumanick brings disgrace to Wyoming County with his over the top actions that have led to a law suit in Federal Court. This isn't just local news, it's international news. A United Kingdom reporter has an objective view of what's going on and has made some very insightful comments and asked questions.
Read the article that the UK reporter wrote about George Skumanick. I think it may give you a whole new perspective on what's going on and why it's not a good thing. That there is an agenda and it's not in the best interest of our community.
This reminds me of a true life movie that I watched on TV recently about how the football team was sexually harassing the cheerleading squad and how the school and the school board allowed it to go on, tried to buy the cheerleaders off and sweep it under the rug. Except for one cheerleader who persisted and eventually got the rest of the squad to testify, winning the case. The moral to the story, schools don't have the right to abuse the law and they are not a law unto themselves. The DA does not have the right to abuse the law and is not a law unto himself.
In this situation, we have not only a school district but also a DA who have abused their authortity. I wonder if a movie will be made of this, too? I don't think this is over by a long shot. We'll be hearing about it more because it will set precidents of what NOT to do, not to let religious zealots and moral crusaders ruin kids lives for their beliefs.
Rik Myslewski summed up her article US mums sue anti-sexting crusader, Birds bite back nicely with:
"Frankly, Mr. Skumanick, we don't care what makes you "sad." We care about the fair and rational application of the law, the ability of kids to make their own mistakes without paying draconian penalties, and the rights of parents to not have their children targeted by moral crusaders."
I say this to the kids and I say this to the parents of the kids that are sueing: GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I support you 100% for standing up and protecting your kids.
You're teaching them a valuable lesson, one they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives. It's not OK for people in authority to take unfair advantage, threaten or abuse the law. There are consequences for everyone and we all have to obey the laws of our country no matter who or what we are.
I sincerely hope the parents of the ALL the children stand up against this abuse of power.

Hello everyone!
This is Cheryl Carnright, Carnright Design, webmaster of Laceyville.com & member of Laceyville Business Association.
I've been fortunate to have been asked by Ken Patton of LB Printery (Laceyville Business Association Member) to design all of Deborah Albert-Heise's campaign materials -- from web site to printed matter including yard signs & more.
Check out her site....it has a lot of really good voter info, if I do say so myself (LOL - pat myself on the back). www.daheise4da.com
Another thing: I thought I'd give a little valuable info for anyone that wants it about bad web site design and just searching for interesting sites.
Often, I visit a web site that gives awards to the "Worst Web Sites on the Internet." It's a good thing to look at because it's just as important to know what NOT to do as it is to know what to do.
So if you have a minute, check out this site www.webpagesthatsuck.com. It will give you some insight. Please, use them to compare to yours and if necessary, make changes to yours.
I've also been having a lot of fun with Stumble. Do you know what that is? It's a list of web sites that people recommend. You can choose your own categories that you're interested in. For myself, I've found some really useful info and sites...things I'm really interested in. Try Stumble Upon.
Well, that's my latest thoughts. If you want, please feel free to reply with a post to this posting. We really do want to hear from you.
Do you have any site suggestions?
Cheryl
