Elk Konnected Hand out at County Commissioners meeting on 4/25

[ELK@KC]

Janet, start a fund, and I will donate to it.

[Patriot]

Social media stalking. HMMMM!

Janet, really??  It might be just as effective to be sure your settings are sealed tight at FB.  They've had issues, you know.  Of course, the investigative route at taxpayer expense is an option... if you really feel violated.  I'm sure FB will be able to determine if your privacy settings have somehow been overridden.  Where do I send my fund donation?

[Patriot]

Meaning what, exactly?

Exactly what it said.  Your opinion is that Ross seems to be the only one watching.  That may really be the case, or it may just seem that way.

[Janet Harrington]

Patriot,

Thank you for the advice.

[Janet Harrington]

Oh, darn. The Kansas statute for stalking says I have to be in fear for my well-being or fear of the well-being of my family or property. I guess I won't be seeking an investigation because Ross being able to see my facebook does not make me fear anything. Nor do I have anything to hide. No fear. No fear.

[Janet Harrington]

However; here is what the Kansas Attorney General puts on his web site about cyberstalking.

Interesting to say the least.

Oh, but, wait. Have we managed to get off the Elk Konnected topic? Dang it.

[Ross]

Ross,

Did you enjoy looking at my facebook page?

Well yes, I enjoyed the fact that I found all your Konnections.
It did not take long and I was not interested in going through all 1368 of your friends. I only wanted to document a few that are apparently Konnected to show your association with Elk Konnected. I bet there were more.

Did you happen to look up what the word associated means?

The reason for this was because of this comment of denial, any way that's what I see it as:

Again, Ross, I am not associated with Elk Konnected or anybody in that organization or company or whatever you want to call it. That thread was started by me for my knowledge to see if what I was told was correct or incorrect.

Oh, that thread was set up by you the day before the 12 or so folks went to the county commissioners begging to save the Elk County Youth Development Position in an attempt to set me up.

You already had the answer you were looking for and posted that answer after I refused to respond.

How sweet that was, a complete flop, because you were assuming the wrong thing.
But let's leave it up to all the readers to make up their own mind on the subject, okay?

[quote author=Janet Harrington link=topic=11780.msg205127#msg205127
Did you happen to look at my pictures and see my beautiful family members and the new litter of puppies that we have? Did you see my grandson that was born on my birthday?

No Janet, I did not look at your pictures, they were of no interest to me. Only some of the friends that are most likely Elk Konnected. I did not cruise any other part of your facebook, I was not interested.

It's not called stalking, you left it open for the public.
I'm sure if it legally qualified as stalking you would have already had someone arrest me.
Open to the public means anyone from here to China is welcome to have a look.
Great try at another smear!

So how does it feel, I believe you acquired information that was not public information about me, but you see, I did not do that to you.

Is that another method of the Followers?
Okay?
Let's review the set up Okay?

You started the thread and this was the first post:

This is to Ross.

Have you not seen any positive things come from this youth development program? Any at all?

I politely responded:

author=ROSS link=topic=14994.msg204549#msg204549 date=1360619173]

I have been exceptionally busy with personal business.
Besides, I had not noticed this thread.

I do believe Janet that i have covered your question quit extensively on the following thread:

http://www.cascity.com/howard/forum/index.php/topic,11780.0.html

And you came back with what you already knew:

author=Janet Harrington link=topic=14994.msg204564#msg204564 date=1360629581]
Here is what I was looking for.   

  They abolished the Youth Development position that provide very little for very few youth on a very sporadic basis. Which was very expensive to the taxpayer. This came from your post on the Elk County Handout page which I can take as reporting to us (the people), that the abolishment of the Youth Development was for the good of us (the people).

Now, my question to you, Ross, is this...wasn't your son one of those very few youth that benefited from programs associated with the youth development? Did your son receive any positive benefit by going to Lawrence for the camp thing that was sponsored by the youth development and grant money? If I am mistaken about your child being a receipient of this camp (I think it was an art thing, I'm not sure), then I apologize for my intel being incorrect.

Didn't you write a positive letter to Jennifer Montgomery about this camp?

Just asking.

And during all that time I recieved a lot of bad mouthing for being polite.
But yet, I politely responded with the exception of one little line. :

Just asking, my ass.
I figured you were trying to set me up, that is why I responded the way I did.
Nice try.
And I do not appologize for my earlier responses.

So you are in contact with Elk Konnected, nice.
Yes, my son did go!
Yes, I thanked Jennifer for her efforts taking care of the kids.
Yes, I believe her and her mother and someone else got a free trip as fancy babysitters to escort the kids.

DId Elk County Youth Development do anything to acquire this trip?
NO!
It was donated and set up by the windfarm owners.
The privately owned Elk Konnected, LLC could have just as easily accepted the task, if they were really out there for the benefit of the kids.

You are welcome to return to the Elk Konnected Hand Out Thread.
Just as a reminder it is at http://www.cascity.com/howard/forum/index.php/topic,11780.5240.html  [/auote]

And you responded:

I get so tired of reading that garbage.

Anyway, thank you for being honest that your son did benefit from this trip even if the windfarm people were the sponsors. I understand he is a very outstanding young man.

[Ross]

Just because I have certain people on my friends list does not mean that I am associated with Elk Konnected. These people have been my friends long before Elk Konnected ever came about.

I also checked my facebook settings and my privacy was set to Friends only. I wonder how you accessed my facebook? Interesting.

Would you kindly get yourself a life, Ross, outside of Elk Konnected?

I guess you don't comprehend the meaning of the word associated,
I suggest you look up the meaning.

Janet - I wondered about the stalking issue.

There is none!

Well, since he put that info on the forum, there is always that possibility. However; I would have to report it to the KBI because I don't think our sheriff's office would do anything. But then again, I am in Independence. Maybe the Independence Police Department would be interest. I will have a visit with the chief who is still a friend of mine. Social media stalking. HMMMM!

That's what I was talking about calling your cop buddies. He probably burst your bubble by telling that it was not stalking.

Janet, start a fund, and I will donate to it.

That would be the Konnected Follower way wouldn't it?
A liberal waste of money.

I also checked my facebook settings and my privacy was set to Friends only. I wonder how you accessed my facebook? Interesting.

I don't believe that for one minute.
But boy, I bet they are now.

Let me check and see, okay.

Nope not secure yet. Anyone can go there.

You might want to check that out with someone.

Hey¸ do me a favor and check my facebook please?
I think I am pretty secure.
See if you can prove me wrong.

Tell me how many friends I have.
I do think. I have mine pretty secure.
Ya, gotta check everytime facebook updates something.

Would you kindly get yourself a life, Ross, outside of Elk Konnected?

Oh, I have a fantastic life.
I am not inside Elk Konnected.
They probably would not have me, because I am too honest and ask too many questions.

But thank you for worrying about my life, that is real kind of you.

Perhaps however your advice would be better used by yourself.

Just saying.

Trying to set me up is what started all this and I sure bet you wish you had never done that.

Some may want to reread Ross' original rant about the camp that Janet asked him about.  Here it is:  (I increased the font slightly so it's easier to read in the purple background.)

I am proud to report, my son brought home an application from school for what is called
Elk County/ Lawrence Art Center /Summer Camp which is being Sponsored and (probably instigated) by the WindFarm.
This I believe is an actual and positive, youth development event.

The children 7th through 12th grade will be staying on campus at the University of Kansas. Which most likely is an experience in and of itself.

Transportation will be provided by the Elk Valley School District which is located in Longton, Kansas.

I believe this activity really would qualify more as Child Development, unlike the local Summer Day Camp, which appears to be more of a daycare or baby sitting event, with cheap toys used for entertaining children.

This apparently happened last year, however, my child did not bring home the application last year. The sad thing is only 30 children get to participate.
And it's on a first come/first serve basis.
I would like to know, WHO made this decision, and WHY?
It leaves open the door for the suggestion of more favoritism, cronyism and the such.
What if, 60 applications are received at the very same time delivered by the mail carrier.
Who, then chooses who goes?

Well, my bet is those thirty or the majority will be West Elk Students and perhaps Elk Konnected, LLC Children. Because, they are right there in Howard, where they have the advantage of getting their applications in first, to the court house and may even have early insider information, and possible early access to the applications, especially since our Youth Development Employee is on the Elk Konnected, LLC Steering Committee Member. I hope you can see that the Elk Konnected Children have an even better advantage because of being Konnected.

What, I believe would be fair would be a public drawing of names from a hat at a County Commissioner Meeting with a member of the audience drawing the names.
Also, children that have already attended the camp should be disallowed to enter,
thus providing all of Elk County children an equal opportunity to win one of the thirty position of going to this limited County Supported, Summer Camp.  
   ,
I don't like putting a damper on a good thing and really I'm not, what I am suggesting is that ALL County Children should be treated equally.

Remember, we have Konnected Kounty Kommissioners, Konnected Kounty Youth Development Employee and Konnected West Elk School Board President and possibly a few other Konnected good old boy & girls, right? To me they haven't shown that they can be trusted, so I believe the only fair thing for all the county's children would be a\the suggested drawing presented at a County Commissioners meeting with an audience member drawing the names. Fair is fair, right folks. Let's see if fairness can happen in Elk County?

And what about the disadvantaged children, who's parent's may not be able to afford the $10 dollar transportation fee? Couldn't the Konnected Youth Development Employee ask the Konnected Kounty Kommissioners to provide that funding from the County's Recreation Fund? Giving the disadvantage children an equal opportunity. Instead of providing those funds to Elk Konnected, LLC ?

Just where is the FAIRNESS in the "Beggar-Thy-Neighbor" programs for All the CHILDREN OF Elk COUNTY ?

Perhaps: Food for thought.

This is an election year and your vote will be very important, at least on the local level.

You can make a big difference.

NO, I am not going to be running for County Commissioner.

Ross, reply 5349 needs some serious editing to show what is from a previous post and what you have added.
