The Forest County Industrial Development Corporation is housed in part of an old factory that was used to manufacture baby bottles until union disputes in Tionesta drove the company to Georgia. Farley Wright's office overlooks the Allegheny River. Wright has been trying to attract businesses by improving the opportunities for the young and by improving the telecommunications infrastructure. This is the least populous county in the state, but soon they will have a medium security prison, which will provide needed jobs and change the community in other ways as well. Tourism, now a year-round industry, is also changing in Forest County. The hunters and fishermen, known as the "hook and bullet" crowd are being supplemented by the more affluent hikers, bikers, kayakers, and backpackers. For the MIRA project he recruited a team of 8 adults and 14 high school kids to work on an ecotour project which was inspired by the digital stories of Dana Atchley. After one workshop they acquired the hardware and software to do their own digital stories. At the time of my visit they had completed twelve stories including Pineknots Pendulum, a slightly biased view of the forestry issues in this county, told from the perspective of a local boy and one who had moved to Forest County from California. It shows that "wise use of the resources" is the best goal for all concerned. Wright's group met every two weeks, and he eventually wants to combine some digital stories with historical re-enactment in period dress. However, it has been hard to work with the school because they do not have a regular contact there. Most of the teachers take off at 3 p.m. and don't want to be involved in after-school activities. Another program he started was a high school mentoring program where kids in elementary school were helped. He would like to see the creative computer skills that the kids are acquiring be used to allow them to return and work here. "Most kids want to get away, where that becomes a problem is if the roots tug them to come back to raise a family. They may want to come back but don't have that ability. We have now the highest percentage of elderly of any county." I left Pennsylvania that evening, impressed as I had been in other states, by the tenacity and good will of those I had met, but worried about the trends many of them described during our conversations.
