ELMA — Sheriff Rick Scott spent an hour fielding questions from Elma City Council members and Mayor Dave Osgood Monday night during a workshop looking at what it might be like if the city gave up its police services and contracted to have deputies patrol the city limits.
The move is spurred by Elma Police Chief Jeff Troumbley, his top lieutenant and another officer all potentially leaving or retiring from the police department in the coming months. Osgood says there's no rush on a decision, but it's a conversation he wants to pursue because he sees some potential savings that could be found.
Troumbley says he bought property out of state, although hasn't announced any firm retirement plans yet.
"My officers know the discussion that's taking place and know that with the potential of losing three officers on our seven-man force, this could be a possibility," Troumbley said.
Councilman Tom Boling said he was worried what would happen to the remaining police officers,
Scott said that if Elma contracts out services, he would likely need to hire positions to fill those needs and state law would allow him to automatically hire any of the remaining Elma Police Department staff so long as they meet the minimum hiring requirements.
Scott says he wasn't prepared to offer up any firm figures on what it would cost to patrol the city limits, but says there likely would be a savings. For one thing, the city would no longer have to maintain its own fleet of vehicles or liability insurance coverage for the police department. The county handles that.
Osgood offered up that the city would also not have to improve its police headquarters, which would cost a minimum $1 million to get it up to the proper standards.
Scott said he wouldn't really have a need for the city's police building.
"Our patrol cars have everything our deputies need," Scott said, "They're equipped as a rolling office."
Mayor Osgood asked how long deputies typically stay during their career.
Undersheriff Dave Pimentel noted that in the past 16 years, the Sheriff's Office has only lost one deputy, who wanted to seek out employment elsewhere. Typically, deputies who are hired will stay on for their entire law enforcement career — or smaller cities like Montesano or Elma will be "training ground" for those officers, who then will transfer on and get hired as a deputy.
Scott said the Sheriff's Office is going through a hiring spell right now because so many retirements happened all at once.
One of the differences, Boling pointed out, between the Elma Police responses and Sheriff responses is in the way the departments treat residential burglar alarms. Elma responds. Deputies do not. Scott notes that panic alarms triggered by a human or a commercial alarm get response from a deputy, but not a residential alarm. Scott said the city could pay extra in its contract to get a response, however, if it's important to the council.
"Anything is up for negotiation," Scott said.
Scott said the city can approach the contract one of two ways. Either the city can say what coverage they want and then a price quote can be determined or the city can be what the city can afford. For instance, if the city wants guaranteed 120 hours of patrol time within the city limits, the city can pay for that. If a 911 call comes in and a response is needed, Scott says a deputy would still respond within five to 10 minutes on an as-needed basis.
Scott notes the city of Leavenworth in Eastern Washington buys 50-hour blocks of over-time at a discount rate to get coverage during special events. Such an arrangement could be worked out with Elma to provide extra coverage for Heat on the Street or other events, Scott said.
Councilwoman Debbie Thurman said she felt that the Elma Police Department is part of what makes Elma a great community, just like the library and the senior center.
"Any gain we make will probably not be a huge gain," Thurman said. "Cutting from the police department is the wrong way to start."
The workshop was also attended by several McCleary City Council members, who have also been taking a look at contracting police services to the Sheriff's Office. The city of McCleary has two tax measures on the ballot asking residents there for a property tax increase to help sustain the local police department. If it fails, then the city will have to look at cost-saving measures.
Sheriff Scott noted that if McCleary and Elma join Oakville, which already contracts police services, then there will be an increased deputy presence in East County. He says he always had one or two deputies in East County now and would increase that level should more cities contract services.
That said, Scott was careful to note he wasn't there to sell the service or pitch it. He was just there to answer questions.

All of the following material is from Rev. Fred Klett who in turn cites other Reformed sources or authors.
The Westminster Larger Catechism on the Jewish people:
Has God promised anything regarding ethnic Israel? Good people are on all sides of this hotly debated topic. Among Reformed folk there are many points of view. Great men like Puritan John Owen spoke of the revival of the Jewish people and their restoration to the land. Others see the Jewish people as simply one of the peoples of the earth, certainly with a special history. What are the implications of the fact that the Kingdom of God is no longer centered in one geographical location or ethnic group? The meek now inherit the whole earth. Does that mean that the earthly Israel is no longer important? Are the Jewish people no longer of any special concern at all? And what about the Arabs? What is the answer? The Westminster Larger Catechism states:

What a cliffhanger! Ping to read later & at the original.
Offensive subject line.
Grammatically speaking it reads like the unintentional set up to a slur and classic propaganda diatribes.
The correct phrasing is "Jewish People", and perhaps "To the Jews".
Offensive subject line. Grammatically speaking it reads like the unintentional set up to a slur and classic propaganda diatribes.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek....There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek."
-- The Apostle Paul, Romans 1:16, 2:9-10
A cliff notes version for the cliffhanger...
...it's essentially various perspectives from Christians wrestling with how to hold Jews up as the chosen people, and still resolve the Gospel's call.
Alex, Thank you for your post, clipping the reference, however it's probably not the most appropriate in the context of a subject line, because in the modern age, speaking of the Jewish people as objects has an unintended tone.
All of the following material is from Rev. Fred Klett who in turn cites other Reformed sources or authors.
The Westminster Larger Catechism on the Jewish people:
Too late for an "Ecumenical. Play nice, y-all" tag. This should be, not entertaining, but enlightening.
Those who know the arguments from Scripture recognize it immediately.
Those who don't know Scripture may be offended but you can't please 'em all.
"Those who know the arguments from Scripture recognize it immediately."
From Christian scripture. Your flippancy is counter to the articles point, which seems to suggest ways to rationalize acceptance, right? Because, these are arguments concerning a party of people who aren't versed in the New Testament outside of theological curiousity, nor do they ever plan to be.
Such wording is symptomatic of translation, and linguistic changes. Something to keep in mind and be sensitive of for the future.
Those who are serious about the argument are very familiar with Romans 9-11.
This phrase would be instantly recognizable to such.
If a Jewish person was also familiar with the debate, he/she also would know that the phrase was lifted from the New Testament.
Being denoted as "object" doesn't instantly translate to offensive. "To the christian" is used all the time as is "To the American", "To the businessman", etc. and is not normally received negatively.
""To the christian" is used all the time as is "To the American""
Neither are comparable.
...and as your audience is slightly wider than Christians or Messianic Christian-Jews, you should be aware that such language is received negatively. I understand this is essentially a debate amongst Christians, and so the idea of offending the very topic of the matter might allude you, and I also understand this isn't the intent.
Judaism by and large describes the G-ds covenant as a responsibility, and the matter of being a chosen people, not as favoritism but as a burden to be a light unto the world, meeting said responsibilities. With that responsibility has come some dark tests.
"the G-ds"
Yikes. A horrible typo, sorry.
Obviously we're not discussing Polytheism here.
"the G-ds"
Yikes. A horrible typo, sorry.
Obviously we're not discussing Polytheism here.
Many of the theologians in the article are supporting national restoration for Israel; as opposed to individual redemption for elect Jews. What gives?
I think they are.
Remember, Paul also says "to the Gentile" in pretty much the same breath.
There is no offense intended in the context of the use of the phrase, either in the 1st century or today.
You said: Judaism by and large describes the G-ds covenant as a responsibility..I agree that is why I wish those faithful to G-d's covenant would also understand G-d created a Marriage Covenant for man and woman, and that covenant seems to be less important not only with some liberal Christian churches but also in some mainline jewish synagogues....
Been reading some fascinating material about the Ring around the planet Saturn has to do with GOD's ring to mankind in the Holy Scriptures and marraige...
"Remember, Paul also says "to the Gentile" in pretty much the same breath"
Uh, No. Gentile, Christian...these terms do not currently describe an ethno-religious nation or diaspora.
Mind you, if you ever read a bunch of Judaic scholars debating how to deal with "The Goy", it would be equally as concerning...and still, it doesn't call to mind pseudo anthropological studies meant to dehumanize one group during the mid-Century.
"that covenant seems to be less important not only with some liberal Christian churches but also in some mainline jewish synagogues...."
I personally don't believe that marriage was core to the Covenant .... I'm not sure it's a sin to be single, for example.
More to your point though... the modern world has dictated how denominations evolved and observe. Some adjustments for the secular world make a lot of sense, but what we have today is this identity crises where assimilation has resulted in some sects straying very far from the original doctrines. There will always be issues and attitudes that differentiate from Chapel to Chapel, don't you think?
I'd suggest just letting it go. Failing to recognize an abbreviated Biblical cite in a headline and perceiving the intended meaning in a more modern context isn't the worst mistake one could make.
I think the Marraige Covenant is actually more important than any other covenant, because it is a Covenant between GOD and human beings male and female that was started from day one in the Book of Genesis....
Actually I think the Marriage Covenant that is now being perverted is why the Bible says the last days will be like the Days of Noah, it was the peversion of GOD's Holy Union and immorality that brought the destruction to Sodom and to Noah's Days....
The covenant GOD gave to the Jewish People was to bring fourth Monotheism and the law to human kind..
The Marraige Covenant was a sacred covenant between Man, Woman and GOD himself...
So what? Should the word "Jew" never be used in your opinion...is it derogatory in your view at all times or acceptable only when used as a subject of a sentence rather than object?
What word in your opinion would be more acceptable as "object"?
I do fear that by over emphasizing the union of marriage it slights the individual Covenant each person has with G-d, and the many Commandments.
In Judaism it really depends on personal observance. Marriage is not considered the most sacred commandment, and never has been, though I'm not discounting it. I'm sure there are Talmudic scholars debating this amongst themselves as we speak somewhere.
When Yemenite and Ethiopeon Jews arrived in Israel, with unique thousand year old traditions, some were still practicing Biblical style polygyny. It was an interesting predicament.
As an aside, it's considered forbidden to proselytize and act as missionaries for Judaism. Instead, it is said that by living by example, and doing good deeds, the Jewish people are filling their quota, so to speak, acting as ambassadors. One ultra orthodox movement, called Chabbad goes the furthest to do outreach and education, and pushes that line. Still, their focus is typically towards secular Jews.
"So what? Should the word "Jew" never be used in your opinion...is it derogatory in your view at all times or acceptable only when used as a subject of a sentence rather than object?"
Well, there are offensive ways to use it as a verb, or adjective too.
It clearly matters how it's used. It's not the word, it's how it's used.
Similarly, saying 'To the Black" when talking about a community is a little iffy. Saying "Black influence" would be fine. Yet, phrasings like "Jew influence", or "Jew boyfriend" are unacceptable.
Ah, so the ethno-religious grouping as you put it is not the problem.
It's rather a group of some kind which may not want to be classified as "object" in your opinion.
I can see where "to the christian" might be perceived as offensive also depending on context. However, in this context there should be no hurt feelings since it is simply a direct quote from Scripture. The context in Scripture is exactly the same as "to the Gentile" which follows directly afterwards.
"The context in Scripture is exactly the same as "to the Gentile" which follows directly afterwards."
Which I wouldn't take issue with. I'm not suggesting scripture be changed.
It's what was pulled as a title for the blog post, out of context, and the lack of awareness for how it read that I found of concern.
I'll bet you have. :)
Strange questions. Israels restoration as a state after 2000 years is an accident of history? The bible clearly states that Israel will be regathered and redeemed by G-d. The gentiles will then stream to Israel to learn of the law and G-d. Isaiah 2:2-3
Jeremiah 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
No, the nations will learn from Israel of G-d.
Many Reformed theologians, like theologians in general, have believed in a future for national Israel. The difference between their biblical outlook and what goes around in dispensationalist/futurist/rapturist circles is considerable.
Dispensationalists believe that the modern state of Israel is prophetically significant in spite of the fact that they exhibit no true faith towards the triune God of the Bible. Dispensationalists believe we are the terminal generation because of what happened 1948 -- a purely political action -- not because any true faith is exhibited in the nation
The Bible, on the other hand, teaches that blessing is predicated on faith, true faith in the God of Abraham, and the Savior of mankind, the Lord Jesus Christ. National repentance will be exhibited in Israel before the return of Christ for His own. That may be in the near future, or, more likely, it may still be many generations away. Of course this is true of all the nations, not just Israel.
It is necessary that Israel does not exhibit true faith in the triune God until the time of the gentiles ends. If Israel comes to Christ before the rapture, I will admit that I was wrong.
I understand your points, however *Marraige* in itself is the cornerstone of any civilized society, it is the most *Sacred* because it brings fourth life creating human beings that have both a Male and Female parent that G-d created himself....
This sacred covenant was started before anything else with G-d's creation of *people* in fact G-d was so angered with what peverted marraige he destroyed the world with a flood in Noah's Day and he destroyed Sodom...
Can you think of a more Sacred Covenant than the Marraige Covenant?
"National repentance will be exhibited in Israel before the return of Christ for His own."
Now we get into the problematic situation of one groups belief being predicated on another groups dissolution on their religion. All major Abrahamic faiths have a version of this.
It can present a problem of coexistence, unless you arrive at a different interpretation. In other words, can you be faithful to the Gospel and believe Jews have a sacred right to their practices without compromise?
For Jews, it was the Pagan/Amalaks and others who are no longer a factor, and today there is an extreme faction who refuse to acknowledge Israel's creation, as they believe it contradicts the notion of a Biblical Israel, which they believe requires the building of the Third Temple, which will either usher in a Messiah, or be delivered by the Messiah. Jesus is in no way shape or form a Messiach figure for Torah observant Jews.
Finally, you can support Israel and Jews as brothers and sisters without needing to cite scriptural reasons for it. The biblical argument rarely wins unless it's an argument amongst others who already subscribe to that doctrine. For example, none of us could give a hoot what the Koran says...although it too does speak of G-D's covenant with the Jews.
"Can you think of a more Sacred Covenant than the Marraige Covenant?"
Are you sure a union between a man and woman is the holiest partnership? I'd say it's with G-D. It's with whatever scripture you follow. It's an eternal one, not a mortal time stamped one. It's an all encompassing thing, and includes rules of law, and so on.
Abraham's personal covenant with G-D is discussed in Genesis. Certainly it was stronger than any covenant he could have with another human, even Sarah.
By the way, I would never say your personal beliefs are wrong, but picking up a Jewish Hebrew/English translation version of the 5 books of Moses might be really interesting for you, if you have the time, and give a little more detail that was possibly lost in the New Testament. The sections on commandments are argued about endlessly later in the Talmud (which is a collection of Sages giving theories), many of which were of no importance to Christians, but still would form a better understanding of what Jews mean by a Covenant with G-D.
No I agree..The Sacred Covenant Man has with G-d as in Abraham is a covenant of promise that can never be broken that is why G-d's promise to the Jewish nation and Israel cannot be broken..
What I am saying is that G-d's Marriage Covenant is a Holy one for Male and Female and one that he has brought destruction on nations who have peverted that Sacred Covenant...
The Marriage Covenant is the first one G-d gave to mankind is it not?
The above line is classic "liberal elite". It's code for 'there is no right or wrong'. Which is bull. I didn't follow the jump ... but doubt it got saner.
Oh, and there are differences - the Jewish people created a sane modern, G-d based, democratic culture - which is good. And too many Arabs act like their religion is a control freak death cult with the added benefit of being able to bully women. Yeah, and it's totalitarian - not democratic. Sorry, but that's NOT equal, not the same, and good people aren't on both sides...
"And too many Arabs act like their religion is a control freak death cult"
I mostly agree, only I wouldn't want to forget that there are Christian Arabs, Jews of Arabic culture, Druze, Kurds, and other non-Muslims who do not fall into that category.
The other thing to point out, is that for Jews, any talk of end times that involves their conversion, redemption, or acceptance of Jesus, is very similar to that same death cult talk. Is that still a source of tension or even frustration? I don't think so.
No reason that because Israel is added to the mix, suddenly it causes moral confusion.
"The Marriage Covenant is the first one G-d gave to mankind is it not?"
I personally don't look at it that way, but I understand why that works for you. See, G-d created mankind, but historically speaking, we know Abraham descended from idol worshippers, surrounded by pagans. G-d didn't doom society then. Also, Adam and Eve aren't considered the patriarch or matriarch for Jews or Christians.
It just simplifies things to suggest vows between a man and woman act as the cornerstone of any religion. Certainly it's an important element of keeping an observant household, but again, spinsterhood, and bachelorhood aren't really at the top of the sins list.
Since Gods timetable is not ours, you and I will probably be quite dead before this ever happens. It's already 2000 years and counting.
You could be right on this point. The early dispensationalist recognized that the churches in Revelation 2 and 3 represented periods of time between Christ's ascension and his return. They also realized that they were in the time of Philadelphia and the return of Christ could not be imminent because the Church of the Laodiceans was yet to come. They correctly predicted that the Jews would return to their land in unbelief
I do not believe that the rapture is imminent but I think we are in the age of Laodicea. If Israel is to be pre-eminent during the tribulation, they must be left behind at the rapture. I do not see why I should discard the dispensational view at this time.
Watch Israel.
Thats a bogus interpretation of Revelation 2 and 3. There is nothing in the Bible to support the theory. Its an example of dispensational allegorizing.
Watch Israel.
What exactly are we watching for? All I suspect is well see her conversion en mass to faith in Jesus Christ prior to His coming.
Now I speculate. I believe we are in the years of plenty right now. There is an abundance of spiritual food
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:Its possible the rapture could be part of what brings on a famine. What do you suppose the Jews are going to find when they go looking for food?
There were seven real churches in Asia Minor. This fact alone in no way supports the notion that the churches somehow represent distinct and identifiable dispensations within the so-called church age. That is pure dispensational allegorizing.
What do you suppose the Jews are going to find when they go looking for food?
Nothing, since the church will be gone according to the dispensational theory.
According to the Bible and contra dispensationalism, the Church will be preserved until Christ returns at the Second Coming. It will hold forth the truth of the gospel to all nations until the end.
What criteria do you use to determine if a passage of scripture is an allegory? The Lord is my Shepherd. I see two allegories here. Shepherd and sheep. If we see the meaning of the allegory in this passage, is it the same elsewhere?
It should spell out the allegory clearly, e.g., Galatians 4 where Paul used the images of the bondswoman/Mt Sinai and the freewoman as allegories of the two covenants; one depicting earthly Jerusalem and other the heavenly Jerusalem. Earthly Jerusalem is in bondage, while the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Revelation 2 and 3 have no characteristics of a biblical allegory. The notion that they depict dispensations/ages within a dispensation is pure invention.
It looks like this is the only allegory in the whole Bible. The word appears but once in the KJV.
If you suspected that the number 7 had some specific meaning, how would you find it? It would require that the use of the number is consistent throughout scripture. It would also help if its use in nature is consistent with scripture. Has God done this? There may not be a lot of allegories in scriptures, but it is replete with metaphors, figures, types and shadows. The prophetic character of history in scripture also helps interpret.
Does the allegory in Galatians 4 apply to Abraham's descendants or does it end after one generation?

YOUNGSTOWN — City police have an 18-year-old man in custody in the Jan. 23 murder and robbery of Angeline Fimognari, 80, who was killed during an apparent robbery after she left morning services around 8:45 a.m. at St. Dominic Church, 77 E. Lucius Ave.
Jamar Houser, also known as "Mook," of 2704 Volney Road, was arrested without incident at 7:54 p.m. at Market Street and Philadelphia Avenue and taken to the Youngstown City Police Department for questioning.
Fimognari was shot in the head in the church parking lot. Her purse was missing, leading police to believe she was a victim of robbery turned deadly.
Good job, YPD!
paulb: Wonder what his juvenile file looks like? Looks like the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree in this family. Appears Dad & brother are familiar with the court system.
Hope the prosecution dot's the i's and crosses all the t's on this one so justice can be served.
they didn't say he pulled the trigger ... he could have been an accomplice or withholding information. you all are so eager for an excuse to bash blacks so let's just pretend there's no such thing as due process and presumption of innocence so that suburbanites can be excusably racist.
meanwhile, no information on murder #1 of the year.
Didn't see one mention of race in the previous comments.
Any accomplice is just as guilty!
I'm so sick of people pulling the Race Card..Get over yourself.. I dont care if someone is white ,black or freaking purple. Justice is justice!
Oh No....Afraid of just that--OUT ON BOUND. And now a wonderful lady is gone, because some JUDGE, LAWYER, WHOEVER messed up big time.
What a shame!!!
If you want people like him to STAY in jail, how about voting YES on the tax increases for the Police Service once and awhile, you bitch that the police can't lock all these violent offenders up or when they take hours to show up on a call, but you turn around and defeat every tax levy that would pay for these services.
You can't have it both ways.
fry him he dont even care about nothing at all or respect any one.
Agree@LT Mac...Everybody wants protection but no one wants to pay for it!
If he is guilty, lock him up. I just hope the police do their job and not rush to grab someone to appease public outcrt...else you could end up with a case like this...
Tahnee Jackson & Sierra Slaton deserve better than this!
They should take his arse down to the center of town and hang him right there after a short guilty verdit trial. Just another example of the low moral value the gangsta community puts on life in Youngstown.
LtMac---I wouldn't blame the police for not keeping these idiots locked up---it's the lawyers, judges, and prosecuters. The voters need to send a message to these office holders that enough's enough. This is unbelievable---
How sad that an 18 yr old resorted to robbing an elderly lady for some change & then murdering her. THAT is the problem here...not the color of his skin!
It disturbs me that he is a CHILD. Legal age of an adult but really just a child. This country has gone to hell in a handbasket when kids are more dangerous than grown adults!
It is so sad to see how many of our young men of today are resorting to violence, guns, drugs, and gangs. They are creating havoc within society in cities throughout America and are sucking in more and more youngsters every year. People from other countries only frown and shake their heads as they look down on our nation for allowing this to happen to ourselves. We have lost control of our children. Where will we be in 10 years from now?
Why is it we continue to look the other way, too ignore the problem, and hope things will improve over time?
I recall a time, if a young man got into trouble the judge would order him sent into the military to straighten him out. Now, our military will not even take these thugs of today. So, they have become worthless to society and are on the road to prison, death or living under a bridge in a cardboard box.
What a great job we have done. This is costing all of us a lot of money, the degregation of our society and we cannot look the other way anymore or say or think it is not affecting me, because it does affect you and me. The loss of this poor woman is just one example of what we have done.
I believe complaining equals caring. Everyone on here, (with the exception of the extremely racist, ignorant comment posted) does still care about Youngstown and does not want to be in the news as Murder City... But change doesn't happen over night, nor does it occur when we have no money for our police to even receive a salary, or even patrol the streets. We have to foster a positive community, it starts with banding together neighbors, knowing each other on the block and generally starting to give back to the community.
No, I doubt we can pass a levy with our state of being at this time but we can at least start but giving back to the city.
I say this just to inform you of the Block Watch meeting for the Southside area directly impacted by this murder (and the other few).
If you can, please go.
February 3rd, 6pm Newport library.
Power is found in numbers. Lets all give the city a message- we want things to improve...
Jackrr, I will pray one day your eyes will open and learn there we are all the same people, regardless of color. Also, maybe a trip to highly improvised areas, with mostly your own demographic (I'm assuming you're the other race, given your statement) committing crimes exactly such as this will make you realize poverty, violence and crime know no color, race or creed.
Good Job YPD !
North side girl give the race card a rest,its getting old.If Jamar Houser is found guilty,he should get the death sentence and not live 20 years due to appeals.
The only thing certain is that Jamar Houser has been picked up . He is still a long way from being convicted let alone getting sentenced to death . His friends could kill any potential witnesses or snitches . Getting him off the street may have been the easy part . Plenty more like him who have killed may still loose . The next victim of Southside criminals may just be hours away from destiny .
Great Job YPD
LtMac, you are correct, people need to support the levies and taxes to provide police services. The citizens of the community also need to show their support of the victim by showing up in numbers during all the court sessions and filling them to capacity, telling these judges, prosecutors, and lawyers that we have had enough. Tell them we want maximum bonds, a trial that finds this thug guilty without a reasonable doubt, and the death sentence without this thug languishing in prison on appeals. And if they do not perform vote them out of office.
"We have lost control of our children. Where will we be in 10 years from now?"
As long as you still have no jobs in the area, terrible public schools, and the continuing drug war, crime will continue. The inner city of Youngstown has been in meltdown mode since the 1980s. It is likely to continue on that route.
ImUrPo well said.
Southside Girl,
The sick racists on this board, who look at blacks as genetically criminal, will never help Y Town. Instead, they write blogs about how much the city sucks, or constantly post about the "savages" (read blacks) who live here must be killed or put in prison.
Northside girl: Criminal Justice 1500 Rule 1 YSU: If you are at the scene of a crime, had prior knowledge of the crime, or actively participated in the crime you are guilty of the crime. Rule 2 if you are found to have lied or hindered the apprehension of an individual you can be charged as well. This goes for all individuals white, black, green, or blue. Rest assured NSG somebody knows who was involved in the murder you have mentioned fact is nobody has spoke out yet. Youngstown seems to except murder as a way of life and many feel no obligation to provide information that would result in an arrest. If you dont believe me ask the family members of Danielle Parker, Anthony Crockett, Christopher Howard, and Marvin Boone. They may never get the answers they want because people refuse to speak out about these homicides.
It is appreciated.
As for the rest stating give the race card a rest, i am only pointing out the obvious point stated by blatant racist comment stated that and i quote "their day will come." Who is they? I believe humans are all made of the same genetics, and are all considered to be the same in my eyes, at least. So again, their day? if its their day, it may as well by our day. Humans- all the same. Skin is not historically relevant in any terms. Humans are humans. We have a social responsibility to take care of each other. Again my belief.
I'm only encouraging WE, as in EVERYONE work together and make this a better place.
I don't care of anyone's color or creed. What matters is we all work TOGETHER to end the violence, no matter what. If you feel different- its your opinion/point of view and entitlement.
I will not respond any further- my main point is to say- if you care enough to read and rant about the issues/problems in Youngstown... and you want it to change (big difference here, some people don't care other than saying its wrong and thats it)
then GET OFF OF YOUR BUTT AND DO SOMETHING POSITIVE FOR THE CITY.
Go downtown for dinner, give to the Rescue Mission or St Paul's Kitchen, ANYTHING to put a POSITIVE CHANGE in the city. There are a ton of people waiting for you to chip in- its very easy to find, go to volunteer services (VSA.org) or downtown, we need your help!
Last by not least, Jackrr- i cannot help but respond to you-very good with being antagonistic. Perhaps you may channel that energy to a good cause, help your community out by doing some volunteer work, donating.
Or you could study our history to at least broaden your perspective to see everyone who has immigrated here, including your ancestors fell victim to racism and prejudice. Look up what happened in Youngstown in 1924, if you're of any dissent other than WASP you may feel a tinge of offense to how people were treated and harassed. Similar to what you're doing right now. But again i've wasted a lot of words on you. You will probably enjoy this retort- have fun with it because i'm done responding. Honestly, I'm saddened you feel that way. Maybe one day things will change..
But none the less, please continue to tell me to shut up and get a life- i agree!
I think I'll do just that- get a life helping the city.
The rest of you- i leave to your message board. I hope at least ONE person does something good. Please, we can't sit back and wait on anyone else anymore.
I leave you with this quote.
"Say and do something to change the situation, it doesn't take any brains to complain."
Good job YPD. Now we must hope that the process to put this moron on death row is swift and without mistakes.
I heard this morning at my retiree breakfast that his mother is a Cianciala? That sounds like an Italian name to me.
Ah! i have to stop on here- Jeratboy- yes i read and own the book- I love Dr Jenkins.
And i just want to say- you're right- we have to do that part as well- raise our standards of living. I did buy a house by the way, in the City, although its not to tear down but live in. I love it in the city- Youngstown, and I'm keeping an eye on the vacant properties near by and have contacted the Lien Forward program in hopes of the empties next to me becoming mine and doing exactly what you stated- giving the land not to a landlord, but to someone who wants to live in the city, like myself.
The lady was leaving church, gunned down for no reason. What reason could the guy have. The money, the jewelry, this is one that better not get away. If he is involved in a gang they are in the know of what he was planning. The leads were made along time ago in the guys life. Mother of Mercy find our weakness and heal these sorry children before this tragedy is repeated. In a situation like this I got no answers just prayer. A complete loss for mankind. How long before the straw is laid on the back of America, with horrors like this happening around the country constantly?
It can't be said enough - thank you YPD! We DO need to support them through voting "yes" for their levies. If Kasich gets in office, it will be even more important for local levies to pass since he plans on cutting funding to local gov'ts (not directly to police but don't think that cutting other programs won't impact $ to go all the way around). Coming together as a community @ the Feb 3 mtg is a great idea (tx for the info). Race bating serves no purpose but adding fuel to the fire of bloggers looking for an "in" for that subject. Can we just stop with the self-defeatest attitude toward Ytown & southside? All is not a lost cause.
Not all young black men dont want to work steal and make some babies. And some of yall sick of people bringing up race but directly saying racial stuff/ indirectly saying it as well. Also just correcting USA it was two people involved in Joe Kaluza becoming disabled.
When you go out shopping or go out to a restaurant or fast food or any businesses in the area, how many young black men do you see? Next time you go make a note of it and let us no. Well your at it, when your driving, how many young black men are on the streets hanging out or walking down the streets with there underwear showing, hoodies on and talking on the cellphones. Also when driving look next to you and see the pimp cars they drive with the rap music blasting. It's not being racist it's a fact of life.
And with your comment do you really hate the white people? Are you a racist?
@Life2short Do you even you get where I was coming from with the statement not all young black men? I know for a fact some are like that im not naive and don't know what is going on. Where in my comment am I showing hate directly or indirectly towards white people? You can go through all my replies and you will never find anything of me being ignorant right back towards some people on this site. Yeah some people may say something racial on here doesn't mean I have to right back . I have never stooped down that low like some people making stereotypes on black/white/ other backgrounds of people as a whole or a certain gender of people majority of the time on this vindy site. Lastly finishing up my reply I am not racist in anyway I am very friendly and easy to get along with anyone.
"I know for a fact some are like that im not naive and don't know what is going on."
Some? Sad to say I would say at least 60-80%. I feel bad for the young black men that are trying to do good and do get stereotyped. Not fair to them but until something is done with the violence in the streets they will always be stereotyped.
"Yeah some people may say something racial on here doesn't mean I have to right back ."
And you shouldn't, there are alot of racist (white and black) on here and I just ignore it. It's a losing cause.
"Lastly finishing up my reply I am not racist in anyway I am very friendly and easy to get along with anyone."
All I did was ask a question, and neither am I and I'm the same way. Lifes 2 short to be any other way.
It doesn't matter if some of the young black men stopped and turned their lives around. For that to end it would have to begin with some people bad attitudes on them to change which this type of stuff been going on for years. There is some people just fixed in their own ways to judge a person without knowing them for years. And I didn't understand why I was being asked that question from you from you reading my reply but okay.
Bennie Adams turned his life around and was picked up on his way home from work . Weep not for Bennie but pray for his victims .
Everyone needs to stop talking about his race. I have not noticed his photo yet on line but his mom is a Cianciolla which is Italian unless she was adopted or married to an Italian man before Houser's dad came along
I do not know how to cut and paste. Forgive me. Look at the Mahoning Probate wesbsite and type in his last name and first name and notice results of some probate type of case from 04.
@ Paulb I agree with your statement on the cameras but that also is very expensive and there is ways the videos can be messed with with all the technology we have today. But I doubt if they have the right people handling it it would be messed with though.
As per WFMJ's noon broadcast the Mahoning County Prosecutor's office agreed to a reduced bond on his previous weapon's charge. What a huge mistake.
Looks like his father and brother are also on the Mahoning County's inmate list.
"Mahoning County Prosecutor's office agreed to a reduced bond on his previous weapon's charge."
A weapons charge in Mahoning County for these thugs is merely a game . They know from experience that the law will not cause them much pain . Weapons charges are dropped in plea bargaining for far too many cases .
The City Prosecutor's office set the bond at $500,000 on the weapon's charge since he was accused of shooting into an occupied home. The home was occupied by his baby's mother and his child. It wasn't "just" because he had a weapon and the County agrees to a reduced bond???????
lombardo, it is the fault of the dirtbags that are doing the killing, BROWN, WHITE, RED, YELLOW and ....... BLACK! No one is forcing them to pull the trigger. Sounds like you are part of the problem.
Lombardo says "It's not the black peoples' fault, it's all of these pork-eating goyim who rule this area's fault".
This is the same statement that lombardo posted word for word in three of the five stories in the "most commented" section.
Somewhat limited on his thought processes I would say or perhaps this was his
"Thought of the day"!!!
So it starts with the mayor of Youngstown?
Sounds to me like YOungstown has alot of race rage going on in that city and the crime was a shame....You can blame the boys ethnicity which is half Italian and black like alot of kids are these days....there are hardly any full black or white children anymore...just look around you and you will see. As far as blasting music, caucasian males blast their booming systems just like the black ones and drive fancy cars too...it's not a black thing it's what all the kids and young adults are doing. Instead of people on here fighting about this dumb thing and that dumb thing how about figuring out solutions to the problems going on. It's a shame that it took for an elderly caucasian woman coming out of church getting horribly murdered for the city to finally try and do something about a problem that had been plaguing Ytown long ago. I am glad that I don't live there but I do know some very decent people who live in Ytown and not all folks are bad from there so you really need to stop with the ill opinions and mal-consumptions b/c it is not solving any problems where your city is concerned.
"As far as blasting music, caucasian males blast their booming systems just like the black ones and drive fancy cars too...it's not a black thing it's what all the kids and young adults are doing."
I agree, but the next time your driving, look around and see who the majority is. I live on 422 at a intersection and in the spring/summer/fall I sit on my porch and see all the cars. And I have no problem with it, but when they wake me up at 3-4am with my windows rattling, it gets a little annoying.....
"Instead of people on here fighting about this dumb thing and that dumb thing how about figuring out solutions to the problems going on."
Who is fighting on here? Like I said it starts with the Mayor, instead of ignoring the problem he needs to make a stand to fight it aka Cleveland,Buffalo, etc mayors.
"I am glad that I don't live there "
Where is this paradise that you live in? Where is this place that don't have no problems and issues. What is your daily newspaper/TV so that I can read the citizens comments about your city? Because I think everyone is looking for that paradise city. And in honestly, it don't exist.
My heart goes out to the victims' family. What a horrible way to lose a loved one!! I pray that they find peace, and the justice that is due them. However, the racist comments I've read on this forum are truly indicitive of the backward attitudes that have existed in this area for as long as I can recall. I've had friends from other traditionaly racist states comment on the great division they witness while in Youngstown. This area is truly sad. Perhaps it's the lack of jobs, or just plain disrespect for ones' fellow man that leaves this town so cold. Whatever the reason, this is a difficult place to live. I find strangers on the streets of New York City much more friendly than the people here. No one returns a smile, or a "hello," folks act as if they absolutely must snub each other. Has anyone thought about the fact that people are more alike than they are different? I've been places where people actually explore other cultures, meet new people, and make life long friends. This seems to be an idea that's far too advanced for Y-town. No wonder our best and brightest young people are leaving here as fast as they can. I think I'll join them.
i think we should vote in his mom and dad for parents of the year also.
Jimmy349 i couldnt agree with you more on that comment.

Federal and state authorities are investigating the thefts of several generators that ran railroad crossing lights during this week's storm-related power outages.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Carson County Sheriff's Department and investigators from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway are seeking information about the case.
FBI agent Tim Reid said thieves stole eight generators valued at about $2,000 apiece. The suitcase-sized generators are located near the tracks.
Officials said Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway rented numerous generators to run crossing and safety signal lights in areas hit by ice-storm power outages.
"We've got a 10-mile stretch between Pantex and Panhandle. Six were taken from that area and two down in Claude," Reid said.
Interfering with railways is a federal offense, punishable by a fine and up to 20 years in prison, Reid said.
No injuries were reported because of the missing generators, but Carson County Sheriff Loren Brand said the situation was dangerous.
"'The problem is the damage that could have been done . . . It was life-threatening and cowardly," he said.
The generators ran crossing arms and radio signals while the power was out, Brand said. Authorities are gathering information about serial numbers and models of the generators that were taken.
Authorities believe the generators were stolen Monday or Tuesday, Brand said.

New Jersey Star-Ledger Is Laying Off 25 Percent of Its Newsroom
As part of a larger plan to "centralize" the newspaper with its sister publications and website.
The state's biggest paper (and one of the largest in the country) announced that it will cut 167 jobs, including 40 editorial positions, which will reduce the size of its newsroom by about a quarter. Advance Publications, which, in addition to the Star-Ledger, owns the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Portland Oregonian, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer said that this "grim day of reckoning" is part of a larger plan to "centralize" the paper, its sister publications, and its website, NJ.com.

James Minchin"Hey There," aspiring music video directors: the Plain White T's want to hear from you.
The "Hey There Delilah" band is teaming with Project Greenlight Digital Studios for a contest called "Now Recording," which invites directors to create a video for the T's next single, "Land of the Living," due later this summer. You can hear the song now on the Project Greenlight website.
If you want in, send a minute-long pitch explaining your idea. Five finalists will be selected, and each will get two thousand bucks to do a short concept video. The winner gets $25,000 to make the actual video.
The contest starts on Tuesday, but you should subscribe to the email list at ProjectGreenlight.com now to be eligible.
In a statement, T's frontman Tom Higgenson says, "The band and I are so thrilled to both inspire, and be inspired, by the amazing group of up and coming filmmakers in the Project Greenlight community!"
He adds, "Making music videos is one of my favorite things we get to do as a band, and this is definitely the most exciting and unique approach we have ever taken!"
Plain White T's latest album, American Nights, came out last year.

The Bianconeri recorded a resounding victory Saturday, but their manager is concerned by the number of opportunities the opposition was afforded from range.Antonio Conte warned his Juventus players against lapses in concentration after watching his side beat Lazio 4-1 on Saturday.
Arturo Vidal scored twice and Mirko Vucinic and Carlos Tevez also got on the score sheet in an emphatic win, but the Bianconeri coach urged his side to concentrate for the full 90 minutes, with the visitors enjoying numerous looks at goal from distance.
"Winning again and putting another four goals past Lazio is a sign of our growing form," the 44-year-old told reporters after the game. "It's a victory that gives us confidence, but we must never let our concentration slip. Lazio had several shots from distance and we do have to improve on defending those.
"Today we were facing a tough opponent who always made us suffer. We still need to improve, as in some stages there wasn't enough pressure from our midfielders."
The reigning Serie A champions will face Inter at San Siro after the international break.

LMAO.. backstreatbob I see you have a short temper too. You can't even finish a simple dialogue without using your famous friend "matey" help... it is going to be fun.
You said: " I dont care if the person is in cosmic heaven as long as the photo is good."
If you believe in you own words then why should we hear your unending whining after each contest result. why would you leave nasty and meaningless comments on very good pictures which have hundreds of good photographers' endorsement?
You said: " What hes thinking at the time can not change what is in front of the lens.
How could you be so naive to say that. A photo is a direct result of what he is thinking such as framing, composition, exposure, elements, point of view, harmony, rhythm, etc, etc.
Don't you think for a second if you can hold a camera that will make you a critic. Just have fun and take pictures, but stay away from technicality if you don't know anything about it.
Hi Vittorio Zanoni, thanks. I like portrait flip specially when dealing with sun or moon. It will give me more negative space.
By the way congratulation for your "Quel ramo del lago di Como". It is a great shot and well deserved to win. Cheers!
Let it be ...
backstreatbob, I see you deleted all the offensives comments you made here. Well, that is a change. Don`t worry I have them all saved for you.
Now :
What is really annoying , your comments on the wining pictures. I think you should delete them as well.
If you dislike the way Panoramio works, take it to forum.
Harassing people is not a solution.
Hi Piadera, this is my first visit to your gallery thanks to backstreatbob.
I whole heartedly agree with your above dialog. I disliked intensely the comments made by BSB on the winners pictures, and can now see why!
You have a good entry in this month Comp. However I prefer An Ordinary Sunset
I shall return Ray PS: Bravo Bob your spamming works.
Thanks Ray. Unfortunately even here we see some people doing everything to hurt others. Panoramio was not supposed to be like this.
It shouldn't be easy to criticize others unless there are good reasons. This fact has been missed repeatedly. That is why I spoke up. Regards.
Thank you Tiko for dropping by, friendly greetings!
Greetings from Brasil
Hello Antonio de Andrade and thank you so much. Greetings!

Where are you getting your information? I don't see any problem with accessing Hwy 2 or Hwy 77. There will be access roads along 77. What exactly is an access road? You'll be able to get to the access roads via 14th str and rokeby or Saltillo. Please post where you are getting your information. It's not good policy to just send emails out without informing us on the details. Here is a link showing what I'm talking about http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/projects/south-beltway/
Action Needed: Hwy 77 and Hwy 2 reclassification
As plans for the South Beltway take shape, it's come to our attention that little comment from cyclists has been heard. Part of the issue is that sections of HWY 77 and HWY 2 are going to be reclassified as freeways, meaning no bikes allowed on the shoulder. What will this do? Well, for cyclists wanting to ride on pavement, it's going to be difficult and dangerous to get south of town. Alternate roadways in the area don't have shoulders yet have heavy vehicle traffic, putting cyclists into a much less safe situation. And for cycle-tourists visiting our city, this cuts off a nice access route into Lincoln.
If the planners and government officials don't hear from cyclists, then our needs won't be considered. Please, take a moment to share your concerns, and share with others, too!
You can view some proposed alternate routes, courtesy of Brent Davis, here: Proposed Routes for Cyclists – 2013.
Then, please contact the following folks, letting them know cyclists need to be considered in the planning process!

What you SHOULD be worried about is the INSANE set up of bike lanes in the downtown area…A bike lane between 2 lanes of traffic? Who thought THAT was a good Idea?
There's probably another blog article discussing your issue. Let's not side track this one.
