Elmira School Board approves three year extension.  Anyone else have a shocked face over this?

Well, as long as you can get the people who really work for a living to keep footing the bill. Go ahead, add a few more to the top of the pile, maybe it won;t topple over.

No Raise for Union Workers

Union workers say they were promised a wage increase. Dresser Rand says they want to give them one, but say they can’t.

Sure, walk out, publiclly wish for the company to go under, promise retaliation towards anyone who did decide to support the company, then, expect a raise?  LOL, no really.

Over the 16 year olds baby daddy talking to the 15 year old. You can’t make this stuff up. Too funny.

EFA Lockdown

Three Elmira Free Academy students were arrested for a fight that caused a lockdown at the school Wednesday.

Fire company president quits

The controversy between the Big Flats Volunteer Fire Department and the Big Flats Fire District commissioners has ignited again with the resignation of the fire company president, Leonard Kaner.

They aren’t being nice to me, do you think they like me?   Does this turn out coat make my ass look big?  Get a grip people, you don;t have to love each other to work together.  Sheesh.

No school is early Christmas present for kids

An early Christmas present for students all over the Southern Tier; no school. News 10 tells us how some kids kept busy.

Lets see, instead of school, they got to play video games, watch T.V. or stare listlessly out the window.  Sounds like a real gift to me.  Idiots.

Dresser Rand Picketers Set to Go Back to Work

Company officials are calling some picketers back. They say about 75 workers will return to their jobs on Tuesday.

Where is there head at?  Fire the bunch of the strikers, give good Christmas bonuses to the workers who put company first.  Build some loyalty.  it will come back to bite DR, they extended their hand already by hiring these union thugs, and now, they are going to let them bite it again?  will nay loyalty be show by the workers to DR?  Will there be any gratitude?  I seriously doubt it, there will be complaints, there will be law suits, their will be shoddy work.

Shots Fired in Pine City

Authorities are investigating a shooting at a business on State Route 328. They say they’re still looking for the suspect.

which is almost like them still looking for a suspect.  I surely bet this guy is going to feel like an idiot firing his weapon over a case of beer. No wait, let me rephrase that, this guy *is* an idiot for firing his weapon over a case of beer.

Fairley Found Not Guilty Of Murdering Hall

Fairley was convicted on charges of possessing a weapon and cocaine.  The only sad part fo this story is that Hall was not able to kill Fairley at the same time, it would have been the perfect outcome.  I do like to see a justifiable shooting get upheld by a jury, thats always a good thing.  The scenario would have been much better if Scumbag A pulls out his piece and shoots Scumbag B, but while Scumbag B is dieing, he also pulls out his weapons and shoots ScumBag A.  30 seconds later, botha are laying dead on the floor.  I know, it is like hitting the lottery for all but one number, you get the thrill of winning and a bit of money, which is better than a a stick in the eye.
We can always hope…

Hold on, I’ll tell you later.

Dresser Rand Union Workers Waits For Call Back

Dresser Rand workers are told to stay by their phones Friday.
