Township officials also will explore the feasibility of forming a water district.
BOARDMAN — Township trustees reject Youngstown's joint economic development plan and want to research the costs and procedures of becoming a city, but a second levy attempt appears unlikely before November.
At a meeting Wednesday, the panel asked Administrator Jason Loree to send a letter to Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams rejecting the Joint Economic Development District proposal as written.
The proposal called for an income tax on some township businesses and residents that would be shared by the township and city in exchange for lower water rates for city water customers who live in the township.
"I see no advantages to Boardman in it," said Robyn Gallitto, trustees chairwoman.
Trustees Larry Moliterno and Kathy Miller agreed.
The panel said the idea of economic development initiatives with other surrounding communities should be explored.
All three also said they believe that incorporation, or becoming a city, must be considered, but more information is needed about the costs involved.
"I think we need to look at incorporation and JEDD proposals at the same time," Moliterno said.
Miller also asked Loree to ask the Mahoning County Prosecutor's office to determine what is involved with the formation of a township water district and if Boardman could do it as a way to provide water to residents without Youngstown involvement.
All of the issues were presented by Loree last week as a way to potentially address the township's budget problems. Earlier this year, 42 full- and part-time employees were laid off because of the shortfall caused by changes in state funding and dwindling cash reserves.
Voters last November rejected a 4.1-mill general operating levy that would have generated about $4 million annually.
Also included in the options Loree presented was another levy attempt either in an August special election or in the November general election.
Gallitto said she believes that residents should have the opportunity to vote on the levy, taking into consideration the budget cuts.
But she isn't a supporter of special elections because people sometimes show up to vote against them and because of the costs.
Loree said a special election would cost the township between $30,000 and $40,000 and that price would increase if a bill before the legislature requiring special elections to use paper ballots gets approved.
Moliterno said he too worries about the costs. He also wants township department heads to determine their staffing needs and what they could accomplish under the scenario of additional revenue coming in to the township and a case where there is no additional money.
Miller said she won't support a special election levy. She said she may get behind a November levy attempt if steps are taken to follow recommendations outlined in a performance audit completed earlier this year by the state auditor's office.
Miller listed analysis of personnel and services to see if they're being used effectively as one recommendation she's like to see implemented.
In other business, trustees presented proclamations recognizing the work of two police officers.
Detective Doug Flara was recognized for his 18-month investigation that led to the conviction of chiropractor Dr. Gregory Dew. Dew was convicted of sex offenses.
Sgt. Ed McDonnell was awarded for performing CPR and helping to save the life of a man who had collapsed. McDonnell was working a side job at the time.
Maybe a better economic stimulus package would have been to grant our individual shares to local government for it looks like, one way or another, it will end up there anyway. The most cost effective route is for Youngstown to deal with their financial issues and leave the townships alone and the township, in conjunction with some more convincing belt-tightening(such as consolidating department heads into one position), needs to sell the residents on the idea that a levy will cost them less in the long-term.
Doug Flara's "recognition" will be short lived.
The man should be indicted for perjury, not given recognition for doing it.
Ask Detective Flara how his buddy and former Boardman Police Officer Stephen Kendal only got 6 months in a local correctional institute for raping a girl while on duty as a Boardman Police Officer.
I guess if you are a police officer in Mahoning county you can get away with anything.
Excuse me, Roy Dew, you do know who was convicted of sex offenses don't you? It was Gregory Dew. Please stop trying to vilify Doug Flara. Gregory Dew is the villain here.
Greg was not convicted... he was lynched. There is a difference.
Detective Flara did commit perjury. He is getting away with it because Paul Gains is as corrupt as Flara is.
The blame for Dr. Dew's current situation is Dr. Dew's only. No one else is responsible for his actions.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Greg is not afraid to be responsible for his own actions. Greg should not be held responsible for actions that he did not commit.
Greg was not guilty of a single crime that he was lynched for. If you knew half as much as your presume... you already know that.

LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio -- A man was arrested in Ohio Wednesday for having a hidden compartment in his car.
The kicker? The compartment was empty.
Norman Gurley, 30, was arrested by state troopers in Northeast Ohio after being pulled over on the turnpike in Lorain County.
According to WKYC-TV , Gurley, from Michigan, was pulled over for speeding, but troopers then noticed several wires running to the back of his vehicle. Those wires led them directly to an empty hidden compartment.
Gurley was then arrested, becoming the first person in the state to be arrested under Ohio's new "hidden compartment" law.
WKYC reports the law is meant to combat criminals who modify the inside of their car, allowing them to store drugs or weapons inside secret compartments. The compartments can often only be accessed electronically.
"During the search, they noticed some components inside the vehicle that did not appear to be factory," Lt. Michael Combs with State Highway Patrol told WKYC . "Without the hidden compartment law, we would not have had any charges on the suspect."
Combs told the station that driving a "trap" car in Ohio is considered a felony.
Combs said authorities believe Gurley was "caught between runs."
"This takes away one tool they have in their illegal trade," he said. "The law does help us and is on our side."
Gurley, who is from Michigan, was arraigned Thursday morning and has since posted bond.

Tectonic burial and young (<10 Ma) exhumation in the southern Apennines fold-and-thrust belt (Italy)
S. Mazzoli et al., Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Universit di Napoli 'Federico II', Largo San Marcellino 10, 80138 Napoli (NA), Italy. Pages 243-246.
Mazzoli et al. examine the recent tectonic evolution of the southern Apennines, a key Italian area in terms of geological hazards, as well as for petroleum exploration and production. Integrated structural and thermochronological data indicate that, over the past one to five million years, the mountain belt underwent gravitational collapse. This process involved the shallow part (upper 5 kilometers) of the orogen, producing rock exhumation in the axial zone of the chain. Large horizontal extension dismembering the mountain belt was accompanied by forward (eastward) motion of thrust sheets. Linked low-angle extensional faults and frontal thrusts shared a common, shallow detachment. Below the detachment, coeval crustal shortening, though limited (less than 15 percent), led to the g

"I'm not hurt, only drowsy from that filthy stuff they doped me wild," she said. "What about you! Did anything more happen?" Jim repressed a hysterical laugh. Did any- thing more happen! "We had guile a busy night," he said, "but it's all over now. Don't worry - I'll tell you alt about it later." She closed her eyes. After a moment she murmured sleepily: "Did Ken gel back all right?"

As so often happens, the minute he .stopped (logging his brain, something clicked. "Better leave a message for yer Ma" - message - Ma! Jim ran after the car, shouting. Dick heard him. and saved his weary legs by backing towards him. "Now what is it?" The stolid Northerner sounded as near to being irritable as Jim had ever heard him. "While I was in Ihe cellar I Tound a message in one of the wine-bins," said Jim breathlessly. "I suppose it was from ihat scientist we were trying to rescue. I managed to tell Ray to investigate the wine-bins, and I expect he's found the message, but I thought you ought to know as well, just in case." "Well, spit it out!" said Dick. "I can't make head or tail of it myself il seems to be in some sort of code. It had Ihe word 'Ma" in it - and you saying 'leave a message for yer Ma' reminded me of it."

Poor old Pru! Lucky it was no worse. He ought never to have left her to go home alone though it seemed as if he himself might have been dead by now if he hadn't. The rummest thing of alt was that Ray had turned up again. He had never ihought when Jim said he'd told "Ray" to investigate Ihe , Murr wine-bins thai he was referring lo his cousin.

Thus, if you captured that spy, you would have done a very good job. The spy-catcher is just as important as the spy. ir your country is on the defensive, he is even more important. I had intended to deal this week with codes and spy messages, but recent spy cases have aroused great interest in our spy-catching methods, so the codes can wait. Every country pretends that it doesn't employ spies. If you are an agent abroad and are foolish enough to get caught, your govern- ment will disown you. "That man one of our spies? Rubbish never heard of him." Naturally, no one is deceived. However, every country frankly admits that it has an organisation for counter- espionage, or catching spies. A brief glance at the British system may be useful. Several departments have sections devoicd to "Intelligence" or obtaining infor- mation - the Admiralty. War Office. Air Ministry and Foreign Office all have their specialised leant. They are supervised by the Joint Intelligence Committee which reports directly to the Prime Minister. Thejob of catching spies has been entrusted to one section, the fifth, of Military Intelli- gence - the famous M.I.5. You have heard of this very often, but the other sections, numbered from I — M. are very secret, and I doubt if you have ever heard them men- tioned. Their job is to yel information: that is to say, they direct spies in other countries, so naturally they don't talk about their jobs. But M.I. 5 only catches spies - yet its members often have more adventures than the others. M.I.S has a collaborator, the Special Branch of Scotland Yard, and never itself appears in public When it has nailed down a spy, it hands over the case to the Special Branch, which makes the arresl and sees the trial through. And how does M.I. 5 set to work? In war lime it has Ihe advantage of the censorship. Letters to and from foreign countries are examined at ink." docks are very useful allies. Watch the next lime you arc going on board a ship at a port. When you show your passport, the officer may refer to a rather fat pockel book. This contains a record of "wanted" people. M.I. 5 agents pay especial attention to factories where war weapons are made, or camps where they are being tested. The first spy lecture I ever heard was on the subject of "Trifles'. The tutor pointed out that most spies gave themselves away by some liny point, or a trifle which they forgot. I have proved for myself that he was righl. Many a spy has been betrayed because some quick-witted* observer - not necessarily an official has noled some little detail which was not quite right. : German spy who was landed 1 on Ihe east coast of England by nighl, from a submarine. He got ashore safely, and destroyed his rubber dinghy. He was a dangerous man: he spoke very good English, and had a perfectly forged ration book and identity card. He wanted to get about. Two miles down the coast he saw a village. He walked along. Outside the village inn were a lot of bicycles. He stole one, and made off. Then he forgot a trifle - he forgot that the British rule of the road was the opposite to the German: he rode off on the right hand side of the road, to be held up by a village policeman before he had gone four hundred yards! Another German agenl, who landed in Scotland, went to a local railway station and asked for a ticket to Aberdeen. "2/10," said the booking clerk. The man put down two pounds ten shillings. This did not prove that he was a German spy - he might have been a shipwrecked Norwegian sailor who did not understand our money. But it did justify the clerk in laking further precautions. You see how important spy training is? Themanmusl know the smallest details about the country in which he is to operate. He must also have a calm nerve, especially in ihose awkward moments when first on the job. Two other Germans went to a booking office. One said: "Third-class to London. .Icrk issued it. and said to the ccood r •■The s And wilh such trifles free, so to speak. Sometimes - especially when they have a man under in- terrogation - they can lead a suspect on until he gives himself away. One friend of mine questioned a girl for five hours. She was word-perfect until she made a mistake about a bus fare. As my friend returned to the point again and again, she saw that he was suspicious, gol frightened, and confessed. Lord Baden Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, in his junior days was an Intelligence Officer, and revealed in a hook called My Adventures as u Spy how he gol out of an awkward situation. He was held on suspicion by a rural policeman in Germany until an inspector arrived. Lord Baden Powell asked permission to smoke. He rolled and smoked one cigarette and then another. After that he didn't care if a dozen inspectors came. He had made his notes on cigarette paper, and had smoked them. Yet this incident shows how my warning about trifles can act both ways. As I said, the story was published, and as every village policeman must have been a Scout at some lime the method became well-known. Thus, if Ihe suspect were being held, and asked to smoke, the dullest-witted policeman would make a grab for his cigarette papers. More than one spy went to his death because he forgot a spy-rule - that he should never use a melhod which has been revealed. The spy- catcher, of course, uses the point the oiher way round. He will suggest, that the suspect might like to smoke. Then he will produce matches, but let the man bring out his own cigarettes. You know how orderly the Germans arc. They like rules and regulations, and so oflcn depend upon "organisation". Our spy- catchers study this habit ortheirs very closely. In the second World War. for example, quite a number of German agenls were parachuted into Britain. Each man was given a standard spy kit. It included a portable radio set, identity card and ration book and £500 in cash. Since he might need food before being in a position to appear in public, the spy also carried a small slock of rations. These always included a German sausage! Ihe Germans were so methodical thai if you Tound a man in possession of this outfit, him of being a spy But 1.5 c lo give ihcmseki's auav by i rifles, ll watches carefully places where spies arc likely lo operate, and "inliltrates" its own agents inside - that is to say, if a factory is making some hush-hush weapon, its security does not depend entirely upon the policeman at the gate: one or two M.I. 5 agents may be inside the factory - as ordinary workmen- A couple of years before ihe war, a man in Woolwich Arsenal foolishly fell to the approaches of a foreign agenl, and began to hand over plans and details of processes. He used lo lake these out of the Arsenal, photograph I hem, and then lake Ihem back. This went on for months. 1 le had a girl who gol fonder and fonder of him. She was nice and Huffy, but so dumb that he didn't even send her away when he was taking his photographs. After his arrest that man got the shock of his lire. Ihe principal wilness at his trial was his "dumb" blonde. She was a brillianl counter-spy. M.I. 5 and the Special Branch would tell you or Ihis biggesl nuisance. During the war you heard many stories about Hashing lights, radio sets up chimneys, and so on. All ihese stories had to be. investigated - and about one in three million had something in ii. You can imagine Ihe time wasted. Now when a policeman catches a criminal in the act, he promptly arrests him. Acounlcr- spy ts not in such a hurry. He watches his first suspect, hoping that Ihe man will lead to Sometimes known spies have been left at large for years, carefully watched when they have made journeys, and their post examined. This method nearly always pays good divi- dends. At the outbreak of war in 1939 nearly 600 Germans were interned. They were not all spies, but some had been noled in contact with spies, and others had the opportunity to spy if they were so inclined. There is one big difference between the British spy services and those of countries like Germany and Russia. We prefer com- paratively small services, staffed by lirsl -class and trained men. They prefer huge organisa- tions. The total strength of M.I, 5 and the Special Branch is only about 700: the Russians have tens of Ihousands of Security Police, or counter-spies. The best example of clever counter- espionage of the "trifles"' brand, occurred in the first world war. The Germans employed a Swiss girl as their messenger. She had to cross into France, visit resident agenls and collect from them details of where all our divisions were. At that time we had more than 60 divisions in France. They were not lined up from the North in numerical order - first, second, third Division, and so on. They were hopelessly mixed - 2lsl Division, 30th Division, 7th - like that. How could the girl carry the details back to Switzerland? She could not memorise such a jumble of numbers. So she began lo embroider (hem. When entering France, she wore a plain petticoat. Before she left, she embroidered a rose patiern around its hem, back in Switzerland, all she had lo do was to count stitches. Starting from the scam, if the first ctnhroiileicd rose was made up of 21 stitches, that stood for the 21st Division: the next had 30 slitches the idea was clever. For months the Swiss girl got away wilh it. 1 hen ^he forgot a trifle. It went against the grain to buy a new petticoat for every journey and to throw il away after "using it only once. So she began lo buy very cheap ones. But one day a French woman counter-spy was searching her at Ihe frontier. The woman thought: "This is strange. This girl has done all this lovely embroidery - but she has done il on material so poor lhal ii won'l sianrj up lo half a dozen washes, why?" The question "why?"' is dangerous in war time. The girl was detained for enquiries, broke down and confessed. Eventually she was shot because she only paid 4/1 l.j inslcad of 6/ II \ for her petticoats. Just now our counter-spy service is being criticised because of the case of Dr. Fuchs. M.I. 5 only comes into the news when it appears to have Tailed. Its hundreds of successes are never made public.

Often they called there to refill (heir water casks. Amongst the blood- thirsty fellows who came to Cocos were such famous characters as Captain Davis, Bemlo Bonito and Captain Thomson. The great days of the buccaneers ended. The world forgot peaceful Cocos Island. Occasionally Royal Navy vessels continued !o call there for waler. Until about 1850 when someone muttered the magic phrase: "There's treasure buried in Cocos Island.'* Adventurers hastily reached for maps. Cunning old sailors began drawing rough cham of the island, which they sold to foolish treasure seekers. The hunt starled. Ships came to Cocos Island from all over the world. Parties landed and started digging and blasting, ruining the island. Admiral Palliser in the warship, H.M.S. Imperi?u.ie, landed his entire crew on the island in 1896. They dynamited most of the island and sailed away disappointed. Between 1S99-I9I4 seven oilier expeditions searched Cocos Island. An American party camped there in 1920 and Canadians arrived soon afler the Americans left. The wild search is still going on - perhaps at this moment. No one will ever find the treasure for the obvious reason thai there Ls none. Only three pirates might have buried wealth on Cocos - Davis, Thomson and Benito. Davis look his loot to America. Benito shot himself when chased by H.M.S. Espiegh; and Thomson never had any treasure. Who starled the rumour? It has already thrived for a hundred years. fte Ovaltineys OWN CORKER /AMUSEMENT TH KRE is a very good the many thousands of Ovalti all over the country are such heatih'v, jolly boys and girls.

If he stood on Patch's back he would be in a belter position to leap from his hoise at the right moment, and so he would be halfway there before Skinny coutd get out of the saddle. With the easy skill he had acquired in the circus, he placed his hands on the pommel and lifted his feel on to Patch's plump rump. A moment later he stood upright perfectly balanced on Patch's back as ihe pony went The surprised spectators applauded and cheered, while Squib got ready to leap the instant the music stopped. Hut Patch, not being a trained circus pony, was bewildered by his rider's trick. He did no! know that he was supposed to continue iii i circle around the remaining chair. With a snoif and a toss of his head, he started for "Hey. I'alch, git back !" cried Squib, vainly waving his arms. The crowd's cheers turned to roars of laughter. Patch bolted.

He won- dered how long he would be able to keep the grip on the saddle so essential in roughriding. Balance and grip - those were the two quali- lies lhat had made him Champion of Cham- pions. But one was nol much good without the other. A steer dashed from ihe dockyard. A horse- man galloped alongside, wheeling the animal round the first post . . . then round the second post . , . then towards the gate. The steer baulked and swung away. The competitor swiftly reined his mount and cut across to the other side. The sleei boiled back in the wrong direction. Twice the stockman vainly tried to drive it through the gate.

Dago displayed perfect horsemanship lo gel his steer round the posts, through Ihe gale, and across Ihe finishing line in the excellent time of 52j seconds. However much Lash despised the man for his evil ways, he could not help admiring Dago's superb skill in the saddle. "Jackson," called the announcer. This com- pclilor took 68 seconds.

They were a wild lot. Choosing a wicked-looking animal that appeared last, he said lo one of the mounted stewards, "That's my rabbit." The stewards parted lo let him enter the yard, and then closed behind him. Culling out the steer was a matter of seconds. The stewards parted again.

In due course he collected first prize. "Hey, cobbers, jist look at all those black- fellers with spears!" Squib exclaimed. "Run for your lives!" roared Rawhide, prelending lo panic.

"You won't have any trouble wmnin" that coniesl," grinned Rawhide lo Australia's greatesi stockwhip expert. "But all the same, I'll give 'em all I've got. They'll expect me lo put on a show." Squib sighed enviously: "I wisht I could put on a stockwhip show and have everybody "So you shall !"' cried Lash in sudden in- spiration. "The hairy Irishman is always my partner in Ihese events, but loday you're going to be out (here in the ring with me." ''Aw, gee " began the bewildered boy.

Boost for Efforts to Prevent Microbial Stowaways on Interplanetary Spacecraft
Efforts to expunge micro-organisms from spacecraft assembly cleanrooms, and the spacecraft themselves, inadvertently select for the organisms that are often the most fit to survive long journeys in space. This has the risk of thwarting the goal of avoiding contaminating other celestial bodies, as well as samples brought back to earth, according to Myron La Duc of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology, and his collaborators. Their research is published in the August issue of the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
Mars, the Jovian moon, Europa, and a few other denizens of our solar system may harbor life, and might be capable of supporting some terrestrial microbes. Contaminating planets or moons that already support extraterrestrial lifea possibility on Mars, the big Jovian moon, Europa, and the tiny Saturnian moon, Enceladuscould interfere with efforts to understand that life, and its origins. For example, life on all of these orbs may have a common originlikely on Earth or Marsand contamination of samples could confound efforts to determine which planet was the source of life, and how life arose. For these reasons, sterilization processing of spacecraft bound for such planetary bodies is a very high priority for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Species of bacteria have long been considered capable of surviving space travel, but examples of a fungal species that is capable of such survival have only recently been demonstrated, according to the report. Additionally, due to their extraordinary ability to withstand various extreme environments, some archaea "have been proposed as being capable of tolerating the Martian environment," the investigators write. "In light of this, the breadth of current spacecraft-associated microbial diversity assessments must expand to include eukaryot

My daughter will be nine in a month. She is 4' 4" and still fine on her ScottaScale 20. She has another 3" I can pull the seat up. I compared an XS Myka and a 24" kids mtn bike at a LBS side by side the seat height and reach looked the same. The Myka had a little longer wheelbase. The Mykas, especially the stepthrough one seem to have the shortest standover height and toptube length.
Depending on how my daughter grows I would like to skip 24" bikes. I also figure I can get her 2" raised handle bars and a longer seat stem for the Scott.
Have any of you tried this? Thanks Bill

I'm trying to read from a text file in Netbeans. In the top level of my project directory I have foo.txt. Then in my code I have:
File file = new File("foo.txt");
It throws a
FileNotFoundException, however. It's a Java web application using Spring and Tomcat, but I'm not sure if those details matter since I'm running the whole thing inside Netbeans. Basically, I just want to know where I need to put the file so Netbeans will read it.
Update - good call guys, it's looking in Tomcat's bin directory. Now this may be a stupid question but, how would I go about getting it to look in my top level project directory? I feel like dropping text files into tomcat's bin would be innapropriate.

The staff at the hotel is great. Everyone comes to work hard and work well together.
Upper management is very challenging in that they are severe micro-managers, all the way up. This is a family-run company local to the Chicago area and they have a hand in all day-to-day hotel management.
Advice to Management
Allow your staff to do the jobs you hired them for. If you do, they will do them well. If you don't, you'll continue to have excessively high turnover.

The clitoris is queen! It's not a secret that the clitoris is the only body part which scientists believe is solely dedicated to pleasure. This Mighty Mouse of an appendage is small but packs more than 8,000 nerve endings. Each clitoris is as different as the woman it's attached to, but for most women, the way to make her orgasm is via gentle, persistent, direct stimulation of the clitoris with a purpose-built vibrator.

Ventura police search for shooting suspect
Ventura Police officials are looking for a suspect who opened fire at another man Saturday night.
Police responded to a call at 10:54 p.m. Saturday concerning shots fired in the 1000 block of Cachuma Ave. When police arrived on scene, they saw a 31-year-old male victim standing in a driveway.
According to police, the victim was standing outside when he was approached by an unknown male who fired several shots. The victim was not hit, but the rounds struck a home.
No one in the home was injured, said Sgt. Al Davis.
Police would not release the name of the victim nor a description of the suspect, but Davis said the shooting was gang related.
The suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction.
Ventura Police Department¹s Special Enforcement Team is continuing an investigation, Davis said.

uSwitch.com, an independent price comparison and switching service, has launched a new life insurance comparison channel. The service will enable consumers to search the whole of the life insurance and critical illness market to help them find a competitively priced policy to suit their needs.
In many cases customers who apply and complete the medical underwriting questionnaire online will be able to place their policy on risk within 24 hours.
The new life insurance service will display the key features for each product, from each provider, so consumers will not have to go through to the provider's website to obtain further information.
Throughout the application process, consumers are continually reminded of the importance of providing full and accurate medical details in order to ensure that the policy is valid in the event of a claim.
There is also an 'Express Underwriting' telephone service which enables some customers to get immediate cover. This is provided by Direct Life and Pension Services.
