Jury Duty Scam

Hi,There is a warning almost everyday about a new scam. Some of the warnings are scams in that they are false or intended to upset people. This warning appears to be real based on the write-up at the Snopes site.
Have A Good One!

Subject: Jury Duty Scam Heed this message. Jury Rigged - I checked with Snopes to verify authenticity....it is true.Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of scam has surfaced.Fall for it and your identity could be stolen, reports CBS News.

In this con, someone calls pretending to be a court official who threateningly says a warrant has been issued for your arrest because you didn't show up for jury duty. The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Sometimes they even ask for credit card numbers. Give out any of this information and bingo! Your identity just got stolen.

The scam has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma, Illinois, and Colorado. This (scam) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try and bully people into giving information by pretending they're with the court system.The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their websites, warning consumers about the fraud.Check it out here: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/juryduty.asp

Send this on to your family and friends!! IMPORTANT!!

Resolving the WMD Mystery

If you've been wondering why Main Stream Media hasn't been yipping about Bush lying about Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction lately, this is why:


There they sit. Forty-eight thousand boxes containing thousands upon thousands of documents from the Saddam Hussein regime stacked variously to the heavens, entirely filling a desert warehouse where Central Command has its headquarters in Qatar—a message in a bottle writ as large as Wal-Mart. Three years since U.S. soldiers swept into Baghdad and began collecting pages out of Saddam's playbook on a regime allegedly involved in terrorism, in propagating weapons of mass destruction, and in plotting deadly war against the United States, that regime's written and audiotaped record remains largely unexamined, barely translated, and—until this month—grossly underestimated.


Some choice excerpts from the article in World Magazine:


Sorting wheat from chaff is "long, slow, and tedious, but this is what intel is," said Bill Tierney, an Army linguist who helped jumpstart the document dumping in February by publicizing 12 hours of Saddam on tape he had translated from Arabic to English. The recordings, released at the national Intelligence Summit in Washington last month, include Saddam discussing a previously undisclosed nuclear weapons program and promising in the mid-1990s that the United States would be visited in the future by "terrorism with weapons of mass destruction." This latest set of disclosures, Mr. Tierney told WORLD, "is a haystack. And there are definitely jewels hiding in it, but it is difficult to find them."

Faced with mounting pressure from Congress and the media to allow public access to some of the estimated millions of printed records and over 500 hours of audiotape, Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte agreed March 16 to release select documents. Within days the directorate posted 125 separate items at its Foreign Military Studies Office website (fmso.leavenworth.army.mil/products-docex.htm) and added to a roster of terrorism-related documents already available in a West Point database (www.ctc.usma.edu/harmony_docs.asp).


Exhibit B
Nuclear capabilities became a topic of discussion in a 1995 meeting with Saddam, vice president Tariq Aziz, and top military officials. An incomplete audiotape of the meeting runs over 62 minutes and begins with Saddam, Mr. Aziz, a Lt. Gen. "Amir" and others discussing how to dodge and parry their way through an upcoming report to the UN Security Council from UN weapons inspector Rolf Ekeus. "Sir . . . one could be suspicious of it [the Biological Program] if we concentrate on it [UNINTELLIGIBLE] and the trafficking effort and dodging everything in regards to it," a nervous Lt. Gen. Amir explains.

Exhibit D
A handwritten dossier dated Aug. 17, 2002, confirms an operational cell of al-Qaeda inside Iraq and identifies its key member as Ahmed Fadil Nizal Al Khalaylah—also known as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the current leader of al Qaeda in Iraq. Saddam's regime, from the document, seems little concerned about the terrorist's presence—even though tolerating known terrorists violated UN resolutions—and less surprised, perhaps with reason. Another memo, dated Sept. 15, 2001, and from Afghanistan, notes a relationship between al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Baghdad, and a Dec. 1, 2001, memo reports on "the status of rumors" of 3,000 Fedayeen Saddam from Anbar Province who were dispatched "in an unofficial capacity to Afghanistan and have joined the mujahidin to fight with and aid them in defeating the American Zionist Imperialist attack."

The issue of WMD may at last be put to rest when these documents are finally translated. To read the entire article click here

Also Stephen Hayes from The Weekly Standard has been writing about the Harmony database(where the documents are stored) for many months.

The Beginning of Zoning Laws

The first New York City Zoning Resolution was created in 1916 in response to overwhelming development in Lower Manhattan.

Technical restraints that had traditionally limited building height vanished with the introduction of steel beam construction techniques and improved elevators. The Manhattan skyline was beginning to assume its distinctive form. Multifamily residences, particularly in Manhattan, were growing in popularity and new retail districts were springing up to meet new demands. Office space was expanding; by 1900, New York City had become the financial center of the country.

Although the concept of enacting a set of laws to govern land use was revolutionary, the time had come for the city to regulate its physical growth. The huge shadow cast by the 42-story Equitable Building, built in 1915 on lower Broadway, deprived neighboring properties of light and air. Warehouses and factories were intruding into fashionable retail areas on lower Fifth Avenue.

The pioneering 1916 Zoning Resolution, though a relatively simple document, established height and setback controls and separated what were seen as functionally incompatible uses -- such as factories -- from residential neighborhoods. The ordinance became a model for urban communities throughout the United States as other growing cities found that New York's problems were not unique.

But while other cities were adopting the New York model, the model itself refused to stand still. New transportation systems changed land use patterns and created traffic and parking problems never dreamed of in 1916. The Resolution was constantly amended in response to the changing needs of the changing city -- new technology, changes in land use, population shifts and a continuing influx of immigrants who needed housing. The amended Resolution also had to meet the New York State requirement that it be in accordance with a "well-considered plan."

In 1926, the U.S. Supreme Court validated the zoning ordinance of Euclid, Ohio, in the landmark case of Village of Euclid v. Ambler, finding that it rested on a comprehensive plan for maintaining, protecting and upgrading the community. The Court recognized that zoning is an appropriate extension of the community's authority to pass laws related to protecting the public health, safety, morals and general welfare. The historic opinion also contained a far-seeing passage suggesting that zoning must evolve to meet the changing needs of changing times: ". . . the meaning of constitutional guarantees never varies, the scope of their application must expand or contract to meet the new and different conditions which are constantly coming within the field of their operation."

The scope of the 1916 Zoning Resolution did expand greatly to meet the new and different conditions but, after 45 years of rapid changes in the country and the City, it was clear that there was a need for a total reconsideration of zoning in New York City.

The current Zoning Resolution was enacted after lengthy discussion and public debate and took effect in 1961. It coordinated use and bulk regulations and incorporated parking requirements. It introduced the concept of incentive zoning by offering a bonus of extra floor area to encourage developers of office buildings and apartment towers to provide public spaces.

The new Resolution was a flexible document but it also had some shortcomings which surfaced with the experience of time. New approaches have been developed since passage of the 1961 ordinance to deal with some of the problems that have emerged. Many planning tools, including incentive zoning, contextual zoning, waterfront zoning, mixed use zoning, special districts, air-rights transfer and restrictive covenant techniques, have been used to make zoning more responsive and sensitive to the changing needs of New York City and the people who live and work here.

Cities never stand still, nor should zoning.

Did Clinton Lie About Saddam's WMD?

Do any of you out there believe that President Bill Clinton lied about Saddam possessing WMD?

Lindley Town Planning Board-March 20, 2006

The regular meeting of the Lindley Town Planning Board was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chariperson, Mary Lentzen. Members present were Earl Titus, Mark Swan, Jim White, Gerry Gross, Fran Tempel and Pat Simcoe. Two visitors were also present. The CEO, Dave Fuller, was on vacation.

Minutes of the February meeting were read; a Motion to accept the minutes as read was made by Earl, seconded by Gerry and passed unanimously.

Mary stated she had prepared a letter to accompany the transfer of the Conditional Use Permit for the Fred Robbins' mining operation located on River Road near Morgan Tax Map #406.00-01.029.100 to Ronald Cianciulli of Tyjor Corp, Islip, NY. However, before the letter could be sent the NYDEC issued a "Cease and Desist" order on the operation. It was noted that Mr. Robbins had not complied with the conditions set forth in his CUP before beginning his mining operation which caused mud and water damage to the River Road.

Mary, Pat, Fran and Jim (maybe) plan on attending the April 13 Regional Leadership Conference at Corning Community College.

The Board began a discussion of ways to increase residents' awareness of the Town Zoning Law.
Residents need to know results from previous surveys, where the Town Zoning Law comes from (most is from NYS Zoning Law), what is included in the Zoning Laws, and what is the Comprehensive Plan.

Fran will draft the first article on What the Planning Board Does for publication in the Addison Post. It was noted that residents with Corning or Painted Post addresses do not receive the Post but extra copies can be made available at the Town Hall. Future articles will include the Building Permit Process, Home Business requirements and Sub-Division Law. Mark suggested that information be included with the Building Permit Packets as it is done in other towns. Residents with questions may direct them to Dee Hill who can contact the appropriate Board member for a response.

The Board agreed that residents need to have easy access to information and clear, concise answers to their questions. A Town Website was suggested. Mary will check with Jennifer Fais as to whether or not the Town Zoning Law and the update on the Farm Land survey have been posted on the Steuben County Website, noting that Lindley has a page on the county website. Mark will contact Ken Peasely about construction of a Town of Lindley Website.

At 7:45 PM Earl made Motion to adjourn, Gerry seconded and the Board unanimously agreed.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS


NEW BUSINESS


A. (Note: Every “Business item” on the Agenda that requires the Board to “make a decision” needs a Motion, a second to debate (No second, No debate and a Majority Vote).
1.) Motion to purchase (A) Dodge Ram 2500 ¾ ton Pick-up Truck for the Lindley Highway Superintendent.
Motioned by: Paul Stermer 2nd by: Paul Mortzheim
Roll-Call: Paul S-yes, Sally-yes, Paul M-yes, Gerry-yes, Jake-yes CARRIED
The only change is the rubber mat in the bed on the truck, which is no charge.
Jake asked Dick what you are going to do with the old pick-up.
Dick: will put the truck up for Bid-will advertise in the Legal Notices-
Jake feels we should at least have the bid up to $4000.00. As last October the Town put a new transmission in the truck, the cost was about $4000.00, we will be throwing away that money. If we can’t get this amount for the Truck, we should put a gas tank in the back and let the Highway guys use the truck, until it dies. Then take it to pick a part.
(Town Board asked for a minimum Bid of $4000.00 dollars for the Truck). Jake Also wants a deadline on the sale of the Truck.
Paul Stermer: you have to wait until the new truck comes before you can do anything with the Bid.
Paul Mortzheim: comment to Jake we should use that truck as much as we can. Use until we can get the money for the truck.
Sally Orr: Dick this is your call, what to do with this truck.
Gerry: Can we make a motion without a figure?
Sally: the amount of $32,000.00 was budgeted for the vehicle.
Dick the amount of the new truck is $22,000.00.

2.) Announcement concerning Town Clerk approval to close the Town Clerk’s office: I Faxed a copy of the local Law to Kent Woloson, He said I have to keep the Town Clerk Hours: I no longer have to go to the Board for approval, to close the office, as I am elected official, I have to give notice to the Supervisor to put in the Agenda, so everyone knows when the office will be closed. Also I will put a notice on the door 14 days prior to closing the office. I have proven the last six years that I only close the Town Clerk’s office for mostly educational reasons or emergency reasons.

3.) Motion to appoint Fran Temple to the Planning Board for a 1-year Term: 2/14/2006-12/312006 to replace Jason Ballard position:

The Town Board agreed she could use the meeting room

5.) Motion to allow the Town Justice, Susan Williamee to use the Town Hall Board room for weddings.
Dee Hill: Years ago there was a motion made not to let the Town Justice use the Board room for weddings, will look up the motion for the next Town Board meeting.
Paul Stermer: it was concerning that she was being paid for the weddings.
Paul Mortzheim asked for Public comment: Bill Canfield said as long as it is a Town Function (wedding) it would be Ok.

Will black top in front of houses, but can’t black top the whole road.
Our Law dept. is going after the contractor.
*Scott Casterline: Thanked Vincent for what he has done so far. Water still comes throw, the fabric; will you be cleaning the stuff off to the base?
*Vincent: this road is not a passable road, there is too much clay. We are working to make it harder and more firm. We took some off this should firm the road up. The water will keep pumping through the winter, but this summer it should dry up nicely. We will put clean gravel on the road.
*Harley: yes you need clean gravel, the mud is the problem.
*Scott Drake asked if someone can check if we can have all Lindley address in Lindley.
*Harry Pierce: (Assessor) talked about re-value for the Town of Lindley.

Structure Fire on Gibson Road

Last night around 10:30 p.m. the Lindley-Presho Fire Department was called out to Kathy and Lanny Plumley's place on Gibson Road. Lawrenceville, Gang Mills, Addison, Caton, South Corning and Coopers Plains fire departments also responded because the structure fire was difficult to control. Coopers Plains Fire Department was called out to bring extra air packs for the firefighters and foam to spread on the center of the fire because water wasn't putting it out.

Firefighters returned at 6:oo a.m. this morning after a long night of getting the fire extinquished. However, it flared again this morning and the department returned at 9:30 a.m.

The family lost everything. If you wish to help please send your "cash donations" (the family doesn't have anyplace to store items) to Joyce Rhodes to help the family get back on its feet.
