"Essex and its Villages" Top 5 Page for this destination Essex by alucas
Essex Travel Guide: 818 reviews and 1,932 photos
This page will be permanently under construction as I add places locally.
Essex is really a county of two halves. There is the flat vast sprawl of over-developed towns and industry towards the Thames and London, and the farmlands and villages of North-East Essex. The border between the two is blurred somewhere in the middle, but as the towns expand outwards the pretty villages are gradually being swallowed up.
The largest town in north Essex is Colchester, recognised as the Oldest Recorded Town in Britain and the original Roman capital here. See my pages on Colchester for some information on Roman Colchester, its role in the Civil War, and places to see.
Some of the local villages and towns have quite a history of their own. I'll be adding to my pages over time as and when I take some pictures. They are all shown on this map, but it's a bit hard to read !
Have a look at my pages on
Great Tey
(Still to be written)
Great Bardfield
Wakes Colne and Chappel
and more !
Some of the villages aren't worthy of a page to themselves, so I will write about them as "Off the Beaten Path" tips. E.G. Layer Marney, and Terling.

Amazing that after eight or nine centuries a descendent of the de Vere family still owns the keep of Castle Hedingham. That's over two dozen generations, at least.
I like the architecture. Maybe someday I will get past London...
Hmmm perhaps I should consider visiting Essex soon looks like you have some interesting places around
Your hometown looks AWESOME. Gr8 pics & OTBP tips like only a local would know. Tudor Architecture, ancient castle......and I was proud of my "historical" San Clemente dating al the way back to the 1920's hahaha Nancy
Well, if you can make it to Em's meet near Boston this September ... I already bought my ticket AND booked accomodations :) So I WILL be at THAT one! Open door to you and Liz if you even make it to the American Southwest/Route 66!
Hi Andrew! Great tips here, as usual, very good info and nice photos. Looks like a lovely area to live in... shame that the girls have such a "bad reputation" ;-) Greetings from the desert / Jess
Nice Essex page & photos. It seems you always have good weather ;-)
So that's what the fuss is all about!
haha touche. Yes I should get myself one of those fridge magnets too :o)
So sorry to hear that, I guess visions of figgy pudding will have to dance in your head along with the sugarplums tonight! I'm hoping for some prime rib and Yorkshire pudding for dinner :-)

|Bank Stock Picks Picking a Winner Among Tarp Holdouts
Citigroup, BofA to Sextuple by 2015?
TheStreet) -- Feeling gloomy about Citigroup (C - Get Report), Bank of America (BAC - Get Report) and other bank stocks? You need some Dick Bove in your life. Dick Bove , as watchers of bank stocks know, is the veteran bank analyst with Rochdale Securities whose energy belies his 69-odd years. He is never afraid to go out on a limb, and while many analysts are pounding the table on back stocks right now, it's hard to find a bigger optimist these days than Bove.That's not to say that Bove is a perma-bull. A 2005 report he wrote called "This Powder Keg Is Ready To Blow," gives him a legitimate claim to stand alongside that select group of stock pickers credited with having foreseen the banking crisis of 2008. But Bove has been bullish for some time, and the latest selloff in bank stocks does not appear to have dimmed his view of the sector in the slightest. On the contrary, the selloff is only driving the bank analyst to cry more loudly about the bargains he believes are available in the sector. Bove stated in a report published Tuesday that Citigroup will be worth $24.75 per share in 2015, more than 6.5 times Monday's closing price of $3.78 and twice the book value he is projecting for the bank in that year. Assuming Citigroup can attain the $12.37 book value Bove is projecting, that $24.75 price would not be far-fetched by historical standards. Citigroup has traded at a price-to-book ratio as low as 0.19 and as high as 4.59, according to Bove's research. The bank currently trades at 0.72 times book. Assuming the same price-to-book ratio for Bank of America in 2015, Bove believes the bank's shares will be worth $99.37 in 2015, well over six times Monday's closing price of $15.40. Bank of America currently trades at 0.73 times book value. While Citigroup and Bank of America are the biggest bargains among the largest banks, Bove sees only slightly smaller potential gains for JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report). Even Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report) shares, which Bove sees as expensive relative to the other three U.S. giants, will be worth $92.66 in 2015, according to Bove's formulation, more than three times its close of $28.71 on Monday.NEW YORK (

Banco De Piedra Group
Update on Banco De Piedra GroupThe group "Banco de Piedra" (Stone Quarry) is made up of seven members. They live in a very quiet community where the people generally make a living by growing corn. They chose this name for their group because where they live there is a stone quarry from which they quarry stone to build their houses. Francisca, or Fran as they call her in a friendly way, is a group member; she is 36 years old and has been living with Mr. Antonio for 10 years. They have two children together who are going to elementary school. Fran works breeding sheep; she fattens them and then sells them. She has been doing this for three years. She says that she started this business because, when they offered her the loan, she decided to buy sheep and also because it is very convenient for her; she doesn't need to invest a lot of time in it, when she has the time she takes her sheep to the pasture to graze and takes her children with her as well to play with them while the sheep are eating. The only problem Mrs. Fran has is that sometimes her sheep get sick. Whenever she can and has the means to do it, she takes her sheep to a veterinarian to save them. This time she is requesting the loan to purchase four young sheep. She is very grateful for this opportunity because she will be able to buy her animals and sell them in a few months: "With my profit I can help my husband with our living expenses and buy necessary things for the education of our children such as school material, shoes etc., as well as pay their school tuition." The other members of the group are Teresa, who will use the money to sell cosmetics; Alberta and Mr. Mario, who will invest the money in a convenience store; and Rosa, Laura, Francisca and Basilia who will use the loan to buy sheep.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Thanks, I have Verbena bonariensis in another part shade area, I love it, I googled Aconitim and it's lovely but flowers quite late in the year. The place I'm thinking of has direct sun for about 3hrs a day and open sky, the drainage is good, should I risk trying Agastache or would it struggle?
Then try one called Black Adder. It's about 4' tall...maybe taller......with inky blue flowers with black touches. It's a lovely thing. It may not flower so.profusely as it would in full sun. In the autumn you can carefully divide it and pot it up....it won't survive the winter in cold areas. Another variety is Sangria which is taller and has pink flowers.
Miscanthus variegatus is a tall white and green vsriegated grass that adds height and nice contrast to Black Adder. You might like to try that
Re aconitum I have early amd late flowerimg varieties. One flowers from July for me. The other in late August.
Thank you Verdun, do you know the names of the Aconitum(s) you have?
Seriously verdun I think you should start a thread that introduces new plants or old fashioned perennials people haven't heard of. Simply an explanation A picture your experience and how to propagate. I would be your number one fan. Just looked up aconitum and it's stunning and have never heard of it! Shame it's 1.2m. You must have a large garden!!
Hiya Red.
Check out aconitum stainless steel. It's slightly less vigorous....for me anyway.....and later flowering but it's delicate colouring is stunning.
Ashleigh I also grow Sparks Variety and another unnamed one that was given me.
No...middling size garden. In two parts....front about 20metres by 20 metres and the back somewhat larger.
Think I have a reasonable knowledge of plants etc but this forum is a great educator. Picked up lots of different ways of,doing things too.
Beautiful And rhs said will take some shade, but will it pull away from a hedge to the light??
Thanks Verdun I really appreciate the help
Returning to this thread on Foxgloves. Mine have flowered for the first time this year - a beautiful apricot, as promised on the seed packet. I sowed the seeds in Autumn 2013 and have been nurturing them since then. Delighted!
Nice to see things flower when you've raised them Patsy. Got some in the garden hopefuly they will flower next year
Must grow more foxgloves .....got several white currently
Mine have really taken off this year, excelsior mixed and such a variety of colours

The Charles Schwab Corporation
) is preparing to pull down the shutters of its brokersXpress unit,
a wing of optionsXpress Holdings, Inc within the next couple of
months. This was reported by
on Wednesday. brokersXpress' inability to fit in the strategic
setting may have prompted Schwab to opt for such an action.
Schwab acquired optionsXpress, a retail online brokerage company
focusing mainly on equity options and future acquisitions, in
September last year for a whopping $1 billion. Schwab's main
purpose behind this acquisition was to enhance its equity-business
and introduce options and futures trading to its customers.
Gradually, it was getting difficult to integrate brokersXpress
as it failed to meet Schwab's core business demands. Hence, Schwab
decided to close down the unit.
Upon closure of brokersXpress, most of its employees would be
absorbed either in optionsXpress or Schwab advisory services that
operates with 7,000 independent registered investment advisers
(RIAs). Schwab acts as a custodian to all these RIAs. A 90-day
closure notice will also be served to all the concerned
representatives and investment advisers.
It may be pointed out that optionsXpress has recently come under
the lens of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has
accused it of fraudulent behavior. However, Schwab's spokesperson
has denied any connection of it with the brokersXpress closure
Last month, SEC charged optionsXpress for repeatedly indulging
in deceptive short-sale transactions claiming violation of
Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act. This act requires brokers to
complete customers' short sale transaction by buying and delivering
the stock within 3 days.
Instead of adhering to this rule, optionsXpress sold the call
options simultaneously and bought shares, generating apparent
sales. The purchased shares were resold without getting delivered
to the actual buyer.
Similarly, optionsXpress's trading arm, OX Trading LLC, was
accused of continuing with its trading operations even after being
de-listed from the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and
deregistered with the SEC, apparently to avoid an audit.
With the closure of an unproductive unit, Schwab can concentrate
more on its core business. The company's image will remain intact
as there has been no retrenchment of employees during the shut
Currently, Schwab retains a Zacks #2 Rank, which translates into
a short-term Buy rating. One of its peers,

Noé punctuates his nihilistic narrative—about an enraged, misogynistic, racist and generally vile ex-butcher—with a loud unexplained gunshot, accompanied by a frantic and almost impossibly violent lurch on the part of the camera. It's an arresting, memorable tension tool—far more arresting or memorable, really, than the movie itself, which is heavily indebted to Taxi Driver.

Ted Simons: The Greater Phoenix Economic Council's director of international strategy, Mary Foote Hebert, recently attended a forum of young global shapers, designed to connect young leaders from around the world and help those attending to learn new ideas to take back home. Joining us now to tell us more is Mary Foote Hebert. The global shapers' community, what is that?
Mary Foote Hebert: The Globe Shapers community is a network of young professionals, really young exceptional people based in Geneva. The primary mission is to improve the state of the world which they do through conferences. Really, they realize the youth voice wasn't represented, which led them to create the global shapers community.
Ted Simons: That exists by way of a network of hubs. Am I getting that right?
Mary Foote Hebert: Absolutely correct. There are about 350 hubs now and they represent 156 countries around the world.
Ted Simons: And Phoenix has a hub founded by you, I take it?
Mary Foote Hebert: Correct, correct. I'm the founding curator for the Phoenix hub. We have about 8 to 10 global shapers, that's what we call the exceptional young people that are a part of the hub.
Ted Simons: What do they do, what do they offer?
Mary Foote Hebert: Really they would like to work on community projects and be a voice for the young people in our community.
Ted Simons: Do different people have different areas of expertise?
Mary Foote Hebert: Right. We have really a broad selection of people. Those from the private sector, the public sector and a lot of young entrepreneurs as well.
Ted Simons: The different hubs around the country, are they focused on different things? If so, what is the Phoenix hub focused on?
Mary Foote Hebert: The challenge of every hub is going to be different for every community. Ours is definitely different than the one in lux en burg or other communities. We decided to commit to having projects that focus on retaining young talent.
Ted Simons: And so have you started some of those projects? I know it's a young hub. Have you done some of these projects so far? What would have been the results?
Mary Foote Hebert: We started with having conversations among our own networks, trying to understand why it is that young people leave the market. And what we realize is that there are organizations like the one I work for, the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, that do a great job of attracting innovative companies where people want to work. But there's another element of what makes people want to stay in a community. For us we realize that's getting engaged in the communities through nonprofit work. We'd really like to be able to better connect young people, those still in school and those who are young professionals to nonprofit activities helping their community.
Ted Simons: And do that end, again, members of the hub kind of go off in certain direction work on individual projects, hub centric projects how does that work?
Mary Foote Hebert: We're thinking about doing an event later in the spring that would really allow young professionals to get to know some of the nonprofits that are active in their community. And then nonprofits would be able to let them know the opportunities that are available to them. Really, the idea is that young people are then engaged and then want to stay in a community, because they already are there helping and engaged.
Ted Simons: Do you sense a little bit of that tide turning? Seems like the young are gone, immediately gone.
Mary Foote Hebert: Right, right. Yeah, I do. I've been really inspired by the people in our hub. The global shapers that we have. There's such a commitment to make feature a better place to be. I think you're already seeing it with what's happening downtown. We've already had initial conversations with Downtown Phoenix, Inc., about how we can work with them on some of the initiatives they are already undertaking.
Ted Simons: Let's talk about this forum in Geneva and a meeting of -- again, you're the curator, kind of the founders of the Phoenix hub. A bunch of curators get together and do what?
Mary Foote Hebert: We did several things. We were able to learn how to make our hub stronger. Part of that is developing a government structure, how to fund-raise, branding exercises. The opportunity to meet people like me from 350 cities around the world was incredibly inspiring. A lot of the older hubs that have been able to undertake best practices, what they are doing and what they have been able to accomplish.
Ted Simons: Did you see some of those that you could apply here in town?
Mary Foote Hebert: Yes, absolutely. Chicago is doing a project called my block, my town, my city. They would like to have an app that's a game, that allows people to earn points the farther away they get out of their own neighborhood. When you hear things that are happening in neighborhoods outside of your own, it doesn't seem so far away and allows people to have greater empathy for what's going on in their entire city.
Ted Simons: When you, as a curator of the Phoenix hub, hear about what folks in Chicago are doing, a game the goal of which is to get people out and about, doing, maybe we can do an app of a game of something here?
Mary Foote Hebert: Right, absolutely. I've spoken to the curator in Chicago and she's getting the app underway. They are part of a program, Coca-Cola will sponsor some of the projects. We can take their platform and put it into a project here in Phoenix if they are able to be successful.
Ted Simons: Did you find yourself, were they curious about Phoenix? Were they wondering about Arizona? And what did you tell them?
Mary Foote Hebert: I was surprised how many people really knew Phoenix and where we are. People know that we're a desert and we have sunshine. Some of the branding we already have in my experience is doing international business. But it gave us an opportunity to talk about some of the innovation here, the entrepreneurial activity.
Ted Simons: Talk about the involvement now, you're working for GPEC, they are also involved, the commerce authority is also involved in the hub. How does that all work?
Mary Foote Hebert: I did have some experience with the world economic forum. I worked with Mayor Stanton's staff, he was invited to speak in China at their annual meeting of new champions. They are very interested in what the Phoenix city has done in terms of urban innovation. He spoke to that and I helped him plan that trip.
Ted Simons: And so that is an association. But is funding involved? Are other aspects of the association -- how does that work, that relationship?
Mary Foote Hebert: Right now we're looking at projects that don't require a lot of funding. But then once we get to another level where it starts to mature, we can go back to the forum and there are funding opportunities available through the global shapers community.
Ted Simons: Are you the one who said, I want to start a hub, I'm the curator? Did someone come to you and say we want you to take charge? How did that work?
Mary Foote Hebert: The community manager for the North America Region reached out to me I would say in December of last year. He said he had spoken to some people in the community and they recommended me. I had worked with the world economic forum in the past. I was really interested to participate. It seemed a bit of a daunting project but I've been very pleased and inspired by the people I've been able to put together to this point.
Ted Simons: And that is a process. You have to look for the folks for your hub, right? You're the one who recruits?
Mary Foote Hebert: Yeah. So again, I'm looking for the diversity. I would like people from a variety of sectors, private and public. Also entrepreneurs have been really great because they are very interested in retaining young people who can also start businesses and they can share best practices. So the recruitment right now, we're at about eight to 10 shapers. We are hoping to get to about 20 by the end of January. If anyone knows anyone who is an exceptional young person, between 20 and 30 years old, they can email me. The address is email@example.com.
Ted Simons: What's next for you, what's next for the hub? Where do we go from here?
Mary Foote Hebert: I think right now we're really looking at the recruitment model that some of the other cities have done. Asking people to send us information about themselves, why they are interested in getting involved, and some projects they think we could work on and accomplish to solve problems in the community.
Ted Simons: All right, very good. That's a nice trip over there to Geneva.
Mary Foote Hebert: It was, it was really beautiful. It was great to meet people from around the world.
Ted Simons: Thanks for joining us, good to have you here.
Mary Foote Hebert: Excellent, thank you.

I've got $400 month rent to pay/and I can't find a dollar/Let me tell you/Time tough/Everything is out of sight, so hard/Time tough/Everything is going
I've got $400 month rent to pay/and I can't find a dollar/Let me tell you/Time tough/Everything is out of sight, so hard/Time tough/Everything is going higher and higher.
-- Toots Hibbert, "Time Tough," by Toots & the Maytals
I had an opportunity to chat with popular local session drummer Matt Chamberlain last week for a story in tomorrow's paper (more blogging on this conversation to come). I was picking his brain about his sessions with Fiona Apple, The Wallflowers, David Bowie, etc. But, one of the things he told me stuck with me. He said that after he played drums for Saturday Night Live for a season in the early 90s, he moved back to Seattle because he was looking for a cheap place to live where he could work part-time, much on Thai food, and play his music. He split a place in Ballad ($200 each), started playing gigs, and his career quickly took off. With rents today, he told me he felt for the local musicians trying to get started now.
Escalating rents (gentrification) and its effect on artists isn't a new phenomenon by any means (just last week, The Moondoggies told me half the band has moved to Everett to save money for touring) but I was reminded of Chamberlain's remarks yesterday while having lunch with my little brother, a musician, who recently moved to town and has been a bit frustrated in his search for an affordable room to call home/studio. He mentioned that he'd been listening to a lot of Toot & the Maytals lately, and that the track, "Time Tough," in particular, spoke to his situation.
High rent? Saving money for touring? Toots feels ya, fellas.

text: Pursuant to SL 2007-438 et. seq., on September 1, 2010 the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), now the Division of Mitigation Services established nutrient offset rates based on "The Actual Cost Method." The Actual Cost Method (ACM) is a procedure that ensures the DMS Nutrient Offset Payment Program sets rates based on the actual costs of providing nutrient load reduction credits. The ACM was developed through a stakeholder process during which participants contributed significantly to the method itself and the rules that would establish it as the means to set DMS nutrient offset fees. During the development of the ACM, DMS also developed a database that categorizes and stores cost data in a manner that allows for per unit reduction costs to be calculated accurately and efficiently.

Best component value to replace stock
2002 Toyota Highlander
Bought these to replace 14 year old stock Pioneers. Was quite surprised regarding the physical appearance of the old speakers, but with the new ones installed, there is a perceptible improvement of range and clarity. Nothing negative to report other than I wish they could be ordered without the grill, as it is a waste to just toss them.
Pros: Best value components to replace stock.
Cons: As many have reviewed, the bass is lacking right out of the box.

The drawback to the exploiting of this ingenious idea is that a display of sham scalping would by no means satisfy gentlemen of this reporter's gory turn of mind. Nothing but a real massacre, with genuine blood flowing and a comfortable array of corpses for view would suffice to glut some people's appetite for a nice, thrilling sensation. Perhaps if the gentleman had ever seen the horrors of actual warfare with red Indians he would not be so zealous for realism. However, he meant well, and his pen was but one amongst the hundreds wielded by English journalists who shed ink in kindly praise of our endeavors to amuse and instruct the London public. Another critic, he of the Sporting Life, concludes a whimsical notice in laudatory terms thus:
The opening of the Wild West Show was one of the most
signal successes of recent years. Such a vast concourse
of the cream—or it may be as well to say the creme de la
crème—of society is seldom seen at any performance. The
number of chariots waiting at the gates outnumbered
those of Pharaoh, and the phalanx of footmen constitut-
ed quite a small army. There is much in the Wild West

Judge David A. D'Apolito fined township resident Robert Elko $5,000 after he failed to comply with a court order to clean up his property.
Elko, who resides at a home on
Selkirk Avenue, was found guilty in July of violating township zoning laws by storing garbage, debris, vehicles and large appliances on his property, which includes a vacant house, at 3816 Kirk Road.
He was given 90 days to clean up the land, and during his sentencing hearing Wednesday, he told Judge D'Apolito, of Mahoning County Area Court in Austintown, he had complied.
After looking at various photos of the property, taken Wednesday morning by township Zoning Inspector Darren Crivelli, the judge said that piles of wood and gravel covered with tarps, an old air conditioner and a nonoperational boat left on the property proved Elko didn't meet the court's requirements.
Elko was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine within 30 days and to finish the process of cleaning the Kirk Road property.
"I don't know how you can say this is clean," Judge D'Apolito said. "For whatever reason, you don't seem to take this seriously."
"I would hope having gone through the court process he'll see this is serious and clean the property and be a good neighbor," Crivelli said.
Prosecutor Ken Cardinal recommended the judge order Elko to pay $100 per day dating back to Dec. 9, 2009, when the case was filed with the court.
Judge D'Apolito said that because Elko had cleaned up about 80 percent of the property, he wouldn't impose the nearly $30,000 fine recommended by Cardinal.
"I don't know why I have any compassion for you, but I do," Judge D'Apolito said.
Elko disagreed with the judge's assessment as he flipped through the photos.
"In these photos, most of this stuff is normal things on a property," he said.
Crivelli said Elko was first issued a notice in September 2009 about the large amount of debris on the property.
He was issued a notice in October 2009 to remove a backhoe that was left in the yard, which Crivelli said also violates township zoning laws.
"The charges were filed [Dec. 9] after I sent four letters, and the township zoning office gave him every opportunity to clean up the debris," Crivelli previously said.
He said Elko also was offered a plea deal in May to pay a $150 fine and clean up the property, which he refused.
Crivelli said though the property is about 80 percent cleaned, items left in the yard easily could have been moved into a detached garage near the house.
"There is still a good amount of junk and debris, and it shouldn't be stored in an exposed manner," he said.
Crivelli said he plans to give Elko about two weeks to finish cleaning up the land before he issues another citation.
Dope dealers operate with impunity and don't get fined that kind of money when caught . A fine of one tenth of that would have more than sufficed .
It's called a trial penalty, and it is rampant in our system. $5,000 does seem excessive, but you have to remember that the guy had 10 months to clean up his own yard that he was COURT ORDERED to clean! It was a slap in D'Apolito's face. Considering what the prosecution proposed, $5,000 is reasonable. Granted, had he taken the deal it would have cost him a lot less on a lot of levels, but given that he disobeyed a court order, the system had to "get tough". Perhaps David D'Apolito should be a judge on the state level (as opposed to county) and bring down the hammer on the REAL criminals...
Once again the law makes no distinction for private property rights. I just looked at aerials of the property and the amount of stuff there isn't excessive. When I lived on Kirk Road I don't remember this property sticking out like some other trash infested places do.
Just another case of government screwing with people because they can.
Why pick on Elko? Maybe because he has money? What about all those other rundown properties all over Mahoning County? Why aren't those owners beiong fined for their properties? This picture actually doesn't look all that bad compared to so many others I pass everyday as I drive around the county. Elko should go out and take digital pictures of those and see if the prosecutor reacts or just ignores all the others. This is a travesty of equal justice!!!
This isn't nothing compared to the disgusting pieces of filth in other areas.
It was a dump until this weekend where I personally saw numerous men on the property cleaning things. This place has always been a dump and I for one am glad they gave him the fine. Maybe he will finally take it seriously.
There is a place in Lake Milton that is 10 times worse than this, and, noone will force that guy to clean it up. He has money too, he works at G.M. as does his daughter who also lives there! They are PIGS!
Zoning rgulations are put in place to protect property values. No matter how well I may keep-up my property, it will most certainly be devalued with a pig sty next door. (Your right to throw a punch at me stops at the tip of my nose.) Under Ohio law, zoning is one of the only way townships can protect themselves from things happening like this.
And, you have to be a fool to challenge a judge in his court. He is lucky the judge let him off so cheap.

When he first started to build the pole barn on the back of the house, I thought that someone had purchased the property, and was going to fix it up. That has been an on going project for the past couple of years. It's unfinished and looks like hell. I hope they make him finish the pole barn addition on the back of the house, or tear it down. It's covered with flake board. It needs siding, not just paint. Does the addition even meet with code, and were the proper permits applied for ?
I drove by this place three weeks ago . The Judge did not fine him enough , Looks like North Jackson, what a pig .
I don't think he should be locked up for more than 2 years, if this is the judge's first offense.
Zoning regulations and "codes" are put in place to violate other people's property rights. As Candide would say, tend your own garden, and leave your neighbor's garden to him... unless he asks for your help.
There is very little penalty for drug dealing in Austintown . An excellent place to do business and no one will notice as long as you don't have a gravel pile in the driveway . Right now the prostitutes are selling dope and they can't keep up with the demand .
I do not live in Austintown, but where I do live, there are zoning regulations.
This being said, these regulations do not include everyone in our township...only the residents that they want to go after or are called on.
Neighbors in the same area have the same violations on their property but they are left alone.
Also, the zoning regulations change to the twp.'s convince.
I personally feel that the whole zoning thing is a big game.
The picture does not indicate serious violations, therefore, the "garbage" must be concealed from our view. Great work by the Vindy photographer - as usual.
More proof that the courts are cowards lets go after someone that has trash on there property. So we wont have the time to deal with the drug dealers.
This mess is in my immediate neighborhood. The front porch is crammed with junk, several pick up trucks overflowing with more junk are parked in the yard. The man is sour grapes because he wanted to sell the property to a villa developer. The township approved the plan on a smaller scale than the developer wanted, so the developer backed out. And this, apparently, is Elko's way of getting even. Well, the neighbors have had enough! THANK YOU JUDGE D'APOLITO!
I feel bad for this guy,he was one of my favorite customers when I worked in Youngstown...very nice guy. Doesnt take away from what is happening,guess just didnt expect to read about him this way.
Obey the law and ther are no fines...easy!
The pioneers came here for zoning laws.
No that i don't like zoning laws. I just see this as more proof of government mismanagement. How much time and money did the courts and prosecutors office spend on this they could have been looking at drug dealers.
The code enforcement people could be looking at crack house and figuring out who owns them and going after them. But no lets go after someone with trash in there yard!
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Atown mornin'
A poor little man has trash in the yard
In the ghetto
And the judge cries
'cause if there's one thing that I don't like
it's another scrap pile on Kirk Rd
In the ghetto
On a dark cold dreary night
Not a creature was stirring they were all out of sight
The crackhouse was all lit up in splendor
Everyone was there to see the vendor
The party was in full swing
Crack was it nothing else meant a thing
There were seen familiar faces
Who worked in goverment places
Yep, this party was going down
In good old Austintown

Special Report
Thank God It's Friday?
Special Good Friday reflections, inspired by New Testament scholar Joel Marcus.
On Good Friday, the hours between noon and 3 o'clock have traditionally been reserved for the faithful to reflect on Jesus Christ's great suffering on the cross. Churches encourage prayer, reflection, and silence. Your humble scribe is not good at any of those things. So, half a dozen years ago now, I went looking for help.
I found an indispensable aid in the form of a short book by the New Testament scholar Joel Marcus. It carries the highly improbable title (for the purposes of Good Friday reading, anyway), Jesus and the Holocaust: Reflections on Suffering and Hope. When I told a Jewish friend about my annual reading habit, he joked that it was mighty goy of me to give "equal time" to a rebuttal of the Gospel of John.
That is not why I keep coming back to Jesus and the Holocaust. I come back because it has a way of concentrating the mind on Good Friday like no other devotion that I am aware of. I come back because it is a beautiful book and a brave one.
The project began when Marcus preached the Good Friday service at the Episcopal cathedral in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1995. That year also marked the 50th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust and so Marcus, who is Jewish by birth and Anglican by conversion, determined to "explore the links between that one Jewish death" in the first century and the some "6 million Jewish deaths that occurred more than 1,900 years later."
Marcus took this approach because he had "wanted to see if the hope that Christians have found hidden in the darkest hour of their liturgical year might shed any light on the most tragic moment of our recent history -- and vice versa." He gave the parishioners (and, later, readers) the sort of stories that they expect from the Gospels and the Hebrew Bible at this time of year, and also poems, paintings, and tales of Jewish persecution.
To wit, before Marcus gets to the reading from the prophet Isaiah about the "suffering servant" (a figure Christians interpret as Jesus and Jews believe to be Israel), he relays to us the story of the liquidation of 4,000 Jews from the Lithuanian shtetl of Eisysky on September 25, 1941. The town's Jews were ushered to open graves, ordered to strip, and then, in groups of 250 or so at a time, "shot in the back of the head by Lithuanian guards with the encouragement and help of the local people."
One teenage boy named Zvi Michalowsky was put on that firing line but survived. He did so in the first place because of good timing. He figured out when the volleys were coming and launched himself into the pit of bodies a split second before the soldiers fired. The boy continued to get by because of his cunning and his audience.
After Zvi clawed his way out of the pit, he made his way to a few Christian homes and begged for shelter. "Jew, go back to the grave where you belong!" the first homeowner told him. The naked, bloodied young man was similarly rebuked until he got to the home of an old widow, who tried to chase him away with a burning piece of wood. Rather than run away, he, well, he innovated. "I am your Lord, Jesus Christ," Zvi said, "I came down from the cross. Look at me -- the blood, the pain, the suffering of the innocent. Let me in." And let him in she did.
Marcus's multidisciplinary (some would say jumbled) approach was not one that carried with it any assurance of success and it could have gone badly wrong. This is a danger that the author absolutely grasped. The most obvious point of the third chapter ("An Atheist in Five Minutes") is that "nothing can induce despair more quickly than a premature, ill-thought-out affirmation of faith."
Jesus and the Holocaust gets the mood and the magnitude of Good Friday exactly right. There is hope here today, but it's buried pretty deep.

It would be easy to cast the Cannondale's win into an aluminum-beats-carbon bar-stool argument, but that would be missing the point.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." - Carl Sagan
I saw this on my FB feed and I got so emotional... It's so so so amazing!!!!! It's one of the coolest pictures I've ever seen!
How about a close-up from Saturn? Say goodnight, moon.
And here's the dynamic duo from Mercury, taken on the same day from the MESSENGER spacecraft. Solar system photobomb, anyone?
This galaxy is 80 million light years away (1 light year = 5.8 X 10^12 miles, BTW....so it's kinda far). It actually has a black hole at its center. Outer space is so freakin' cool.
^^That's NGC 3185. It's a Seyfert barred spiral galaxy whose central black hole (all galaxies have them) is active, going through a binge-and-purge cycle where it's gobbling so much gas that most of it heats up and spews back into space before it can fall in to the black hole forever. That's why the central part of the galaxy is so bright. Our galaxy has a much quieter nucleus, happily.
Check this out--our galaxy is a large barred spiral at least 100,000 light years in diameter, which is pretty huge for a spiral. Some are even bigger, though; this is NGC 6744, 175,000 light years wide and one of the largest spirals known. Better yet, it looks exactly like how most astronomers think the Milky Way looks, with a central bar, ring structure, and arms coming from that. Have a look at a galaxy just like yours, humans (and at 30 million light years away, only in the next town over).
Yes, they all do, and astronomers have discovered a direct correlation between the mass of the black hole, the size of the galaxy's nucleus, and the amount of old stars in the galaxy--bigger black hole, bigger nucleus, more old stars. The largest black holes are in the supergiant elliptical galaxies like M87 below, which are basically all nucleus. The reason for this is complicated but is now becoming understood--it's cutting edge science right now (explanation upon request). This suggests that supermassive black holes date to the very beginning, not just the early days, of the universe. It may yet turn out that they are the first things to have come into existence after the Big Bang.
Enter one of our photo contests for a chance to win a prize!
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8th, a time to celebrate everything that makes you a mommy!...

Citalopram HBr, USP is indicated for the treatment of depression.
The efficacy of Citalopram tablets, USP in the treatment of depression was established in 4-6 week, controlled trials of outpatients whose diagnosis corresponded most closely to the DSM-lll and DSM-lll-R category of major depressive disorder (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).
A major depressive episode (DSM-IV) implies a prominent and relatively persistent (nearly every day for at least 2 weeks) depressed or dysphoric mood that usually interferes with daily functioning, and includes at least five of the following nine symptoms: depressed mood, loss of interest in usual activities, significant change in weight and/or appetite, insomnia or hypersomnia, psychomotor agitation or retardation, increased fatigue, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, slowed thinking or impaired concentration, a suicide attempt or suicidal ideation.
The antidepressant action of Citalopram tablets, USP in hospitalized depressed patients has not been adequately studied.
The efficacy of Citalopram tablets, USP in maintaining an antidepressant response for up to 24 weeks following 6 to 8 weeks of acute treatment was demonstrated in two placebo-controlled trials (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). Nevertheless, the physician who elects to use Citalopram tablets, USP for extended periods should periodically re-evaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient.

My Finn grew up in a prep school, a boarding school at which I taught English. Even as a youngster, he was such a good golden he could come to English classes every day, and learned the bell system. When kids in the dorm were homesick or worried about grades/ relationships etc, they could bury their faces in his coat, and Finn would curl right up. My golden Raleigh was so good when I coached soccer, he knew to run the tape up and down the field but would not step over . He traveled on the varsity girls tennis bus to away matches. My golden Joplin, best of all dogs, would run with me and the varsity ski team through West Hartford CT with no leash and was allowed at the ski resort where we trained. He also always came to English class and summer camp. I have never had a golden who needed to be leashed on campus, or on hikes to stay right with me.

I 've had several dogs but Jess is by far "la creme de la creme". He was a very easy puppy, and at almost three, in between walks he's napping or following me around. He's also my Sous Chef, my trail guide , my constant companion. He rarely barks, but does like to get the day started a tad early. Good thing we're both morning creatures.

I have a great dog.
I adopted him when he was nine months old. He'd spent those nine months being abused, starved, and living outside in near neglect (besides being abused). He'd never been in a home before and wasn't house-trained, leash-trained, crate-trained, and had food issues (from being starved).
He was in his foster home for only three days before I adopted him. He was house-trained in half a day. He learned his new name in a day. He learned 'rules of the house' within a week.
Loose-leash walking was hard for him, but now he walks so nicely my mom (who only outweighs him by 20 lbs) is comfortable walking him. He doesn't pull or lunge at squirrels or bunnies or cats anymore. He rarely barks. He sleeps in until I decide to wake up (and often he only wakes up to eat and pee, then goes back to bed). He's uber low-maintenance. His food issues are non-existent. Even with raw food, he gives up his meals to anyone who asks.
He loves children and people. I never have to worry about him with little kids. He actually knew when my friend was pregnant before she did. She came over and he wouldn't stop resting his head on her belly. 2 days later, she found out she was pregnant. Now when she and her baby come over, Ranger follows the baby around and rests his head on the baby's lap. He barks when he thinks the baby is "in danger".
He knows an insane amount of tricks. His latest one is getting the paper every day. He can find his leash and bring it to me. He brings me my shoes. He even brings me my purse.
Best of all, he's the best foster brother to the puppies we take in every summer. He's patient, kind, and gives the shy ones confidence. He plays rough with his 90 lb best buddy, but plays soooo gently with the foster puppies.
Basically, my dog is awesome.
Here he is with foster sister Sahara.

Thanks, for all the responses!! I am not going to sell my pup.LOL Just worried. I did purchase from a good breeder and his parents came from champion show lines. They both were super laid back and good with kids. He really is not a bad puppy. I am adjusting to the new lifestyle. I know people go on this forum to talk about issues but, good grief makes you wonder sometime. I spend a ton of time with my pup so, he grows to be a well adjusted adult. He is the smartest dog I ever owned. I would not give this a second thought but I have grandkids and makes you more aware. I NEVER will leave them unsupervised at any time too many people trust dogs 100% but, a the end of the day they are animals. I am really glad to hear some wonderful feed back. I purchased him also with the thought in mind for doing Obedience trial,agility....I showed horses for 33 years so, I have put the time and dedication into my animals. I provide the best posible care I can give. He really is a delite and everydays gets easier. Glad to hear other people felt the same way. Thank you, everyone and have a Merry Christmas!!!
Truly the first year is the hardest behavior wise. Our first dog chewed on everything if you weren't staring right at him - including a windowsill while we were eating dinner in the same room!! But the next 10 1/2 years of his life he was amazing!!
You have to correct them when they are doing something wrong - every time! Charlie is 6 months old now and while I won't leave him uncrated when we aren't home or sleeping, he is a very good dog. He's now to the point that shoes and slippers can be left out - he likes to put his nose in them but never chews them. He has furniture he's allowed on and furniture he's not and he knows the difference. He also stays out of our laundry room where the cat food/litter box are. Outside he'll eat anything he can get his mouth on which is a problem, but he's learning.
Puppies just have a lot of growing up to do and go through so many stages so quickly. Don't be discouraged!
Proud mommy to Charlie (born 6/6/12)
and my Bristol (10/15/00 - 3/21/12)- gone but never forgotten.
I have a picture somewhere of Max at about 3 months old with his head in my husband's slipper. I have a knitting project in every room of the house, he never touched the yarn but once, I told him no and that was that. He chewed on the kitchen chair leg once, Bitter Apple took care of that. Not every puppy is difficult.
All of our Goldens were puppies with their craziness that goes along with puppyhood. Looking back, what's a few chewed up dishtowels compared to unconditional love?
You can't find a better dog on this earth!

Ex-prison officers accepted into ARD program
Two former Erie County Prison officers, who faced misdemeanor theft and tampering charges related to the prison, have been accepted into a special probationary program for first-time nonviolent offenders.
Daniel S. Danowski, 40, and his wife, Leslie L. Danowski, 39, had their applications for the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program accepted during a hearing Tuesday afternoon before Erie County Judge Stephanie Domitrovich.
Those who successfully complete ARD may apply to have their records expunged.
The Danowskis were fired from their jobs in October amid an investigation of alleged records tampering, missing ammunition and other issues at the prison, located at East 18th and Ash streets.
Daniel Danowski faced charges of theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and criminal conspiracy to tamper with public records or information.
Leslie Danowski faced a count of conspiracy to tamper with public records or information.

A Word in Season
Faith's Eyes See True Reality: Reflections from Chapter One of Lumen Fidei
In a powerful and personal way, God's love and promise shaped all of Abraham's reality. Moreover, Abraham discovers the depth of God's creative reality—all new life is not mere chance, but the fruit of God's love.
The Faith of Israel
Abraham's faith legacy continued in the faith of Israel.
The history of the people of Israel in the Book of Exodus follows in the wake of Abraham's faith. Faith once again is born of a primordial gift: Israel trusts in God, who promises to set his people free from their misery. Faith becomes a summons to a lengthy journey leading to worship of the Lord on Sinai and the inheritance of a promised land. God's love is seen to be like that of a father who carries his child along the way. (cf. Dt. 1:31) (LF, 12)
Lumen Fidei describes Israel's journey, as well as its detours. In Israel we also encounter faith's opposite: idolatry. God's covenant with beloved Israel was repeated broken by people lacking faith in God's faithfulness. Lack of faith equals a lack of light: Idolatry clouded Israel's vision leaving them without a roadmap to a clear destination. Their turning away from faith had repercussions—years of wandering both from God and the Promised Land.
Idols exist, we begin to see, as a pretext for setting ourselves at the centre of reality and worshiping the work of our own hands. Once man has lost the fundamental orientation which unifies his existence, he breaks down into the multiplicity of his desires; in refusing to await the time of promise, his life-story disintegrates into a myriad of unconnected instants. Idolatry, then, is always polytheism, an aimless passing from one lord to another. Idolatry does not offer a journey but rather a plethora of paths leading nowhere and forming a vast labyrinth. (LF 13)
Being on this side of history, we know that God is always faithful to his promises, and eventually, Israel gained the Promise Land.
Believing means entrusting oneself to a merciful love which always accepts and pardons, which sustains and directs our lives, and which shows its power by its ability to make straight the crooked lines of our history. Faith consists in the willingness to let ourselves be constantly transformed and renewed by God's call. Herein lies the paradox: by constantly turning towards the Lord, we discover a sure path which liberates us from the dissolution imposed upon us by idols. (LF 13)
In these Old Testament accounts of Abraham and Israel we glimpse what St. Augustine once observed regarding the two-way street of faithfulness.
Man is faithful when he believes in God and his promises; God is faithful when he grants to man what he has promised. (LF, 10)
The Fullness of Christian Faith
The first chapter of Lumen Fidei then brings us to Jesus Christ, the ultimate sign and guarantee of God's faithfulness.
All the threads of the Old Testament converge on Christ; he becomes the definitive "Yes" to all the promises, the ultimate basis of our "Amen" to God (cf. 2 Cor. 1:20). The history of Jesus is the complete manifestation of God's reliability.
In the love of God revealed in Jesus, faith perceives the foundation on which all reality and its final destiny rest. (LF, 15)
