reported to police on Wednesday that $30,000 was fraudulently withdrawn from her bank account after someone opened a joint account in her name at a bank in Michigan According to a Boardman Police Department report the woman went to pay for gas on Tuesday and her card was declined due to insufficient funds which informed her that the transaction occurred at a Huntington Bank branch in Warren The branch manager in Michigan told the woman that two individuals opened a joint account in her name and subsequently transferred the funds to another account The report indicates that the crime occurred between approximately 10:47 a.m Boardman police advised the woman to contact the Warren Police Department in Michigan since that’s where the crime took place The police report does not say how the woman's identity information got into the hands of the perpetrators The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers the following tips to help consumers avoid becoming victims of similar fraud schemes: Monitor Your Accounts Regularly: Review your bank and credit card statements frequently for any unauthorized transactions Report any suspicious activity immediately to your financial institution Be Cautious with Your Personal Information: Do not share sensitive information such as your Social Security number or through unsecured websites unless you initiated the contact and are certain of the recipient's legitimacy Shred Financial Documents: Before discarding them shred any document containing your account numbers Be Wary of Unsolicited Communications: Be suspicious of unsolicited emails or phone calls asking for your personal or financial information Legitimate companies and government agencies will not typically request such information through these channels Consider Credit Freezes: A credit freeze restricts access to your credit report making it more difficult for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name unique passwords for your online accounts and avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Whenever possible enable two-factor authentication for your online accounts This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step in addition to your password If you believe you have been a victim of identity theft or bank fraud, contact your financial institution immediately and

Mahoning County Court in March of 2025 former township mechanic Michael Carkido is suspected of using township funds to pay for personal expenses It all started on March 5 when low-profile performance tires were found in the township's garage these tires are meant for vehicles such as Cadillacs Township Road Superintendent Kim Blasco then began an investigation into this matter by launching an internal audit into purchasing records for police department parts and equipment purchased between January 2024 and March of 2025 That audit revealed alleged irregularities in purchasing parts that would not be usable for any of Boardman Township's police vehicles Carkido was placed on paid leave as the investigation continued further investigation revealed that Carkido's son owned a vehicle with which those parts would be compatible.  a review of Auto Zone purchase records showed purchases of brake pads oil filters and brake rotors for several vehicle makes but none being compatible with any of the township's vehicles further investigation revealed Carkido allegedly had a side business where he repairs vehicles with repairs inlcuding oil changes Carkido had allegedly been seen using a tire changer in the township garage for changing tires in the side business A search warrant was then conducted where several auto parts were seized Other items seized included an iPhone charging station An employee at the Boardman Township Street Department confirmed with 21 News that Carkido had since resigned from his position in the township The exact date of his resignation is unclear at

found at the bottom of this page fun and comfortable road bike at a bargain priceAnother compelling option from Boardman Balanced handling; impressive value; well-thought-out design Boardman’s new SLR is a performance road bike built for British conditions the SLR 9.2 Carbon’s brilliant spec and ride quality further Boardman’s reputation for producing high-value purple-to-black fade paintjob and the Boardman SLR 9.2 Carbon offers a lot of bike at a crowd-pleasing price the SLR is a wholly new carbon road bike frame from the British brand Boardman doesn’t go into detail on the type of carbon fibre used to build the frame beyond saying there’s a 'high-grade' C10 carbon blend featured here and on the two pricier models in the range with a 'medium-grade' C7 blend used on the 9.0 and 8.9 models that the frame's aerodynamic shaping was developed using CFD modelling and wind tunnel testing the SLR features a host of practical considerations – all designed to make it better to ride in tough conditions (as we so often have to deal with in the UK) The frameset features bosses to fit dedicated mudguards These metal 'guards offer full-length protection The SLR frameset can take up to 36mm tyres without mudguards and comes supplied with 30mm tyres fitted as standard The down tube features two-position bottle mounts but you can switch to the other boss position to use 750ml bottles if desired On the underside of the down tube is a third set of bosses to add another bottle for epic days out The aero-shaped carbon seatpost is clamped in place by a hidden bolt located underneath the seat tube and top tube junction 27.2mm-diameter round post with the aid of a wedge-shaped adaptor if desired The bottom bracket shell remains a press-fit BB386 While this might infuriate fans of threaded BBs BB386 can be adapted to suit most cranksets and offers plenty of space for 30mm spindles and decently sized bearings The rear dropout uses SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard which means replacement gear hangers should be easy to come by and it means the frame should be relatively futureproof After all, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see SRAM bring its direct-mount derailleur design from its off-road groupsets (such as Red XPLR AXS and GX Eagle AXS Transmission) to its road ones sooner rather than later The SLR was originally conceived as a flat-out race bike, but evolved into more of a performance-orientated endurance platform in 2021 The 2025 SLR gets sportier with its ride position again Boardman has doubled down on this theme with the cockpit too 412mm chainstays on the size-large (dropping to 410mm on the small and extra-small models) The only place things have been relaxed is the head tube angle The SLR 9.2 Carbon is solid value for money at £2,500 while my 58cm test bike tips the scales at 8.6kg The build of the 9.2 Carbon is based around Shimano’s 12-speed 105 Di2 drivetrain with a compact 50/34t crankset and wide 11-34t cassette Boardman provides the internal-routing ICR stem with a 400mm-wide alloy bar The dedicated aero seatpost is topped with a Prologo Scratch M5 saddle The mid-depth Alex Boondocks 3 wheelset has a claimed weight of 1,686g with 30mm-deep and 21mm-wide (internally) tubeless-ready rims That means the 30mm-wide Goodyear Eagle tubeless tyres fitted can be run without inner tubes should you wish The Eagle is a cheaper version of the high-performance Eagle F1 with a 60 TPI casing and an R:Shield breaker belt for added puncture protection What it lacks in the supple speed of the F1 it makes up for in longevity and robustness All things considered, the Boardman’s value for money is impressive for 2025 Specialized’s equivalent Roubaix SL8 Comp The SLR 9.2 Carbon’s ride is a formidable combination of a sporty position quick handling and a balanced feel on the road The new frameset’s combination of aerodynamic tube shapes and straight-legged fork would suggest a stiff ride It is responsive and firm in all the right places The firm yet forgiving ride combines with nimble handling, making for a bike biased towards the racy side of the endurance bikes spectrum That’s somewhat at odds with the practicalities of the design – the generous 36mm tyre clearances proper mudguard mounts (with dedicated Fend Off guards available) and third set of bottle bosses on the down tube's underside That has meant throughout testing I’ve been able to store a tool can here while still running two bottles for long rides It’s a simple alternative to a down tube storage port especially if you run more than one bike and don’t want to double up on a dedicated toolkit for each one As usual, Shimano’s 105 Di2 groupset impresses and the gearing is well-suited to the SLR’s intended use As a companion for long rides with plenty of elevation The 105 brakes are loaded with power and bags of feel and they stayed scrape-free and quiet throughout test rides in all weather the cockpit combines a long stem with a relatively narrow bar Although the 40cm bar is a good 20-40mm narrower than my preference I liked the slightly rearward shape and ovalised top section but I’d still prefer a wider option as standard the SLR 9.2 Carbon features a two-piece cockpit so swapping in your preferred option would be easy The SLR 9.2 Carbon covers ground impressively well – it’s especially good at smoothing out poor while the swiftness of the steering is on the right side of nervous It makes the Boardman a fine descender; corrections are met with instant responses and the confidence from the grippy tyres helps through fast corners The Boardman has all the gear range I need for climbing and its responsive frameset makes out-of-the-saddle efforts worth it The 1,686g wheelset is middleweight, and like most bikes at this price, the SLR 9.2 Carbon would benefit from upgrades to a set of the best road wheels and tyres I could induce a bit of flex from the front wheel in out-of-the-saddle efforts for example – enough to get the spokes to tick against the brake caliper body suggesting the spoke tension needs addressing on this test wheel but they lack a bit of zip compared to Goodyear’s racier F1 model The SLR 9.2 Carbon is a worthy successor to its Bike of the Year-winning predecessor The frameset is smartly thought out for UK riders the option for dedicated mudguards and a ride that blends racy handling with a smooth ride feel It results in a bike that’s long-distance capable and exciting to ride, and makes it a solid competitor to bikes such as Cervélo’s Caledonia 5, the Giant Defy Advanced and the Vitus Venon Evo Poland Township has become the first township to partner with Boardman Township in financially supporting the Clarence R Mahoning Valley First Responders Wellness Center revealed by Poland Township Board of Trustees Chairman Eric Ungaro underscores the township’s commitment to the well-being of first responders and their families by ensuring access to crucial wellness resources The Mahoning Valley First Responders Wellness Center located on a 4-acre property on Raupp Avenue in Boardman Township and wellness initiatives tailored to the unique challenges faced by law enforcement officers The property was donated by the family of Clarence R who also serves as chairman of the Mahoning County Mental Health and Recovery Board noted that all three Poland Township Trustees have consistently prioritized the mental health and overall well-being of first responders and their families Poland Township’s financial contribution will help the center expand its services and ensure first responders have access to specialized care Boardman Township previously dedicated $253,000 to improve the property and Mahoning County Commissioners added $464,000 in opioid settlement funds for the project’s first phase “This partnership reflects our deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by first responders and their families,” said Poland Township Police Chief Greg Wilson “By joining forces with Boardman Township we are taking a proactive step in ensuring that those who protect and serve our communities receive the support they deserve.” Boardman Police Chief Todd Werth previously announced the creation of the center emphasizing that it would serve as a proactive wellness resource for first responders and their families A roadblock often faced by first responders seeking help is a reluctance to reach out or visit facilities where they might encounter individuals they’ve interacted with professionally The Smith Center aims to provide a safe and confidential space executive director of the Mahoning County Mental Health and Recovery Board said the center will create a “safe space” for

those around the Spartans program knew they had the makings of something special having already matched last season’s win total after 15 games the Spartans currently sit atop the stacked All-American Conference having already picked up wins against Archbishop Hoban defending Division I state champion Austintown Fitch and perennial state power Champion “They’ve learned how to win and how to really finish games this year,” head coach Fred Mootz said This is the most complete team I’ve ever coached as far as defense we dealt with some injuries that kind of set us back they’re just locked in and they just play for each other They love each other and they compete for each other.” In the weekly Ohio High School Softball Coaches Poll that came out on Monday morning Boardman currently sits ranked seventh in the state in Division III “We’re fortunate to be ranked in the state and we deserve it because we’ve worked hard for that,” Mootz said 1 team at the end of (the season) in Division III.” The way last season ended lit a fire underneath the Spartans after Boardman had its season come to an end in a 16-14 shootout to Uniontown Lake in the Division I sectional final the Spartans hit the ground running during the offseason and it paid off “You have to get better during the offseason,” Mootz said and it has paid dividends and it’s showing out here right now.” Even though Boardman graduated seven seniors from last year’s team the Spartans still returned the majority of their lineup and pitching rotation those returners have only gotten better and are the biggest reason why Boardman is in the position it is “It’s been huge — we have virtually seven girls back in the lineup that were starters last year and we’re led by our (five) seniors,” Mootz said Senior Tori Strines has spearheaded the Spartans’ pitching rotation with a 2.14 ERA and a 7-1 record while juniors Gabi Sferra (1.47 ERA) and Addie Kowacich (1.91 ERA) have been equally as effective with a combined record of 6-1 That trio has combined for 110 strikeouts and 42 walks “(Strines) is our bulldog in the circle…and this year she’s had her best stuff,” Mootz said she’s really worked to fine tune her game She’s our spark and she’s our senior leader “This is a girl that had us one hit away from winning a district title as a freshman against a team that was loaded in Walsh Jesuit There’s no team or lineup that Tori doesn’t feel like she can go out there and dominate.” freshman catcher Addie Rudge has come in and contributed right away leading the team at the plate with a .460 average and 22 RBIs to go along with a team-high five home runs Strines is also right there contributing offensively for the Spartans junior Ellie Wymer and senior Alex Ward are each batting over .300 while seniors Ava Freeborough (.294) and Laci Jurus (.290) are right on that cusp and they’re very selfless,” Mootz said “One girl can go out and she’ll be 4-for-4 and they’ll cheer for her just the same as if they went 0-for-4 probably the most patient team I’ve ever coached on the offensive end They draw a ton of walks and they see the ball well.” The Spartans have showcased their depth and balance throughout the season demonstrating that they can get contributions from any myriad of players on a game-to-game basis Rivera and Jurus led the Spartans with three hits apiece Then in Boardman’s recent win over Champion Freeborough led the Spartans with a pair of hits Ward went 3-for-4 with two RBIs against Howland and in the win over the Falcons on April 9 Strines and Freeborough each hit home runs “There’s not one spot in the lineup that I don’t think can come up and get us a gap ball to possibly win a game,” Mootz said 13th and 14th players that can also come out here and deliver big hits for us So I have confidence in every single girl in the lineup and on the bench.” Boardman continues its high-flying season on Wednesday with a home matchup against Mineral Ridge before hosting Cardinal Mooney on

Boardman SLR 9.0 Carbon is part of the company's newly unveiled 'four season fast' range of versatile road bikes – and the first thing it shouts is value A high-quality carbon frame in terms of build and ride feel a Shimano 105 mechanical groupset and loads of versatility for less than two grand is something of a rarity these days For more options, check our best road bikes buyer's guide I've ridden a lot of Boardman's SLR bikes over the years and they've always impressed me as being great all-round road bikes Boardman has made some big changes for this model as the company has clearly put some real thought into the new design this is still a performance road bike at its heart with relatively aggressive geometry that gives quick handling and makes the SLR feel generally nippy and nimble Even with the ability to fit larger tyres and full mudguards Boardman has managed to keep a directness and responsiveness The front end feels well balanced and gives you confidence through the bends while the rear end tracks perfectly It feels really planted and I got a lot of pleasure and reward from seeking out technical descents Both the frame and fork have sufficient stiffness where it is required which was noticeable when descending at speed Heavy braking created no issues for the fork even on poor road surfaces Take the spacers out beneath the stem and you have quite a low-slung front which is Ideal if your goals are speed and getting as aero as possible my position felt more purposeful than on many endurance bikes I've ridden Being set up like this was a great compromise for switching between lunchtime blasts and longer rides that I used the SLR for I believe that Boardman has got the overall geometry spot on for what the SLR is designed to do so we don't necessarily need a bike that's been designed for the pro peloton but we don't want an endurance bike either This SLR fits in the middle ground very nicely delivering a riding position for going fast without any comfort compromises Ultimately it focuses on real-world efficiency and practicality coping well with both smooth and not-so-smooth road surfaces It's far from the plushest carbon frame I've ever ridden but factor in the price and it is genuinely impressive The SLR does a great job of minimising the high-frequency buzz and takes most bumps and bangs in its stride And for these qualities I'd put it on a par with Merida's Scultura Endurance range and Giant's Defy models Boardman has summed up the road bike most of us really need There are still some aluminium alloy bikes in the SLR range, such as the 8.8 and 8.6 as Boardman has presently only updated the carbon fibre models Boardman follows a tiered system for the grades of carbon fibre used with C7 used for the base model SLR 8.9 and this 9.0 model Boardman doesn't go into the nitty-gritty of specific composite grades but how it pans out in practice is that the more expensive grades are stiffer for a given amount of material This means lighter frames can be made without sacrificing stiffness with the cheaper offerings sometimes being a little more resilient to knocks and crashes It's a great quality frame and full-carbon fork with some really smart-looking paintjobs throughout the range – and Boardman backs up the quality with a lifetime warranty for the original owner the C7 frame and C10 fork rides very well indeed and an all-up weight of 8.8kg in this spec is very respectable Looking at our photos you can see that the SLR is a clean smooth-looking bike and it's no surprise to see a focus on aerodynamics technology such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) allows you to 3D model a bike to see how it reacts to airflow and it would be foolish not to use it when creating a bike like this which gives designers the chance to understand how stresses and other physical effects will affect the frameset in real-world use and you can take a lot of the guesswork out of the design before you even get to the prototype stage Boardman tested the new SLR in Sliverstone's wind tunnel and says that it's 5.7W faster than the outgoing model across a -15° to +15° yaw sweep at 50km/h (31.1mph) The SLR works with both mechanical and electronic groupsets with all cables and brake hoses hidden within the frame while the seatstays are dropped low for improved airflow dropped this bike off with us and showed us the rest of the range and he was keen to point out that this bike hasn't been designed for a WorldTour team – but for riders like you and I where performance is important but not at a cost of having a bike you can't just jump on and ride if the weather conditions aren't right or if your route takes you on poor road surfaces not suitable for a race machine which is impressive for a road bike that hasn't slipped into the 'all-road' category and gives you a lot of freedom when it comes to routes and even terrain On a 36mm tyre it's possible to ride on hardpacked gravel tracks or canal routes without compromise and if you wanted to try your hand at a long-distance event like an audax or sportive then having that extra volume in the tyre means less stress on your contact points You also get an extra set of bottle cage mounts underneath the down tube for a bit of extra load carrying capabilities The three bolt mounts on the top of the down tube give you some adjustability for larger bottles There are also mudguard mounts hidden inside the fork legs and the seatstays you will need to modify the stays slightly If you don't fancy the faff of that then Boardman has worked with Kinesis to develop a Fend-Off mudguard designed specifically for the SLR's frameset The Fend-Off SLRs cost £60 and while I haven't seen them in the flesh I will say that the Fend-Offs I fitted to my own Fairlight were the easiest mudguards I have ever installed and remain quiet and rattle free With guards fitted the tyre clearance drops to 32mm which for me is more than plenty on a road bike and matches that found on many other brands' similar offerings Another neat touch is the inclusion of a universal derailleur hanger (UDH) ranging from XS to XL with corresponding top tube lengths of 525mm to 585mm head tube of 151mm and a seat tube of 500mm due to the frame's compact Stack and reach figures are 563mm and 388mm respectively This model comes with a Shimano 105 R7100 mechanical groupset The 105 groupset sits midway in Shimano's road line-up above Claris all of which are soon to be replaced by CUES Above it in Shimano's hierarchy are 105 Di2 Compared with the previous iteration of 105 the STI levers have had a major makeover This groupset has cemented itself as the range's 'all-rounder' and it's done that based on how good it is in terms of shifting and braking while still representing good value The only non-groupset component we've got on the SLR is the FC-RS520 chainset but I think it cheapens the overall look a little Performance-wise I couldn't tell any difference and the 50/34T chainring and 11-34T cassette combo gives you a great spread of gears for all kinds of riding The 1:1 ratio bottom gear is perfect for hilly days while you won't run out of a gear to push against in the 50/11T max ratio Boardman has specced a 160mm rotor for the front disc and a 140mm for the rear which provides more than enough stopping power for all road riding conditions The SLR 9.0 uses an alloy two-piece system stem called the SLR ICR and Aero Alloy handlebar no model in the range uses a one-piece cockpit as James Ryan points out that for most people an integrated cockpit doesn’t work He says: “We could fit one and add another £300 to the retail price but someone might just take it off straight away as the combination of the stem length and handlebar width doesn’t work for them.” Each bike comes with a size-specific setup with this medium model going for a 100mm stem and 400mm handlebar though Boardman sells the components individually should you want something else and the bar's shallow drop gives you plenty of access regardless of how flexible you are The carbon seatpost has plenty of adjustment that allows you to slide the saddle forwards and backwards providing you with an inline position or 15mm of layback This really helps to let you dial in your fit This post comes as standard from this model upwards with the 8.9 SLR getting a round aluminium post – though you could upgrade to this carbon post for £80; should you want to run a round post on any model you can get a spacer from Boardman The saddle is a Prologo Scratch M5 PAS with steel rails I like Prologo saddles and found this one excellent I'm a fan of the narrow nose and minimal padding which worked well when I wanted to get forward in a race position The wheelset uses Alex's 30mm-deep alloy rims which help the bike's 30mm tyres maintain their shape While the wheels are fitted with inner tubes everything is compatible with going tubeless The performance of the wheels impressed me They arrived well tensioned and running true staying that way until the end of the review period I also found no issues with stiffness and the ride quality is decent so they don't hamper your acceleration or climbing which can be the case with some wheels on bikes at this price those specced with Mavic's Aksiums for instance The Goodyear Eagle tyres have a grippy compound and decent rolling resistance and I was generally impressed when I improved them Tyres are an area where some bike brands scrimp to save some money so I'm glad to see Boardman has specced these that have an RRP of £50 each They have a good ride feel and the R:Shield breaker belt helps keep the punctures at bay The SLR range starts with the £1,400 SLR 8.9 Carbon that has a Tiagra groupset and Boardman wheels, with this SLR 9.0 next in line at £1,800. The 9.2 with 105 Di2 costs £2,500 while a grand more sees an upgrade to Ultegra Di2 and Zipp 303 S wheels The range is topped off with the SLR 9.8 that features SRAM's excellent Red groupset and a set of Zipp's 404 Firecrest wheels for £5,500 For comparison, I recently reviewed Ribble's Allroad SL On paper it has similar capabilities to the SLR with tyre clearances of 35mm (32mm with mudguards) a carbon frameset and a mechanical 105 groupset But the Ribble's geometry is more endurance based and I wasn't a massive fan of its ride quality Merida's Scultura Endurance lives up to its name by having slightly more relaxed geometry than the SLR which means a stack about 20mm taller for the same size frame It has other similar attributes to the Boardman too with 35mm of tyre clearance (32mm with guards) hidden mudguard mounts and internal cabling The 4000 has a carbon frameset a 105 mechanical groupset and costs £2,250 The SLR reminds me of Giant's Defy range performance-based frameset with geometry backed off a bit from full-on race bike though the Defy wins on tyre clearance at 40mm – though without the option for fitting mudguards The biggest difference though is the price The Defy Advanced 2 comes with a 105 mechanical groupset and the same crankset as the Boardman SLR – and a £2,699 price well-thought-out idea of what is arguably the best all-round road bike for many of us efficient bike regardless of whether you have the mudguards fitted or not and you have the versatility of being able to comfortably ride in all kinds of conditions versatile and efficient – the welcome update makes this a road bike for all conditions List the components used to build up the bike Rear Derailleur: Shimano 105 RD-R7101 12-Speed Front Derailleur: Shimano 105 FD-R7100 12-Speed Seat Post: Boardman Two Position Aero D-Shaped Carbon Tyre: Goodyear Eagle Tubeless Ready 700 x 30mm Tell us what the bike is for and who it's aimed at How does that compare to your own feelings about the bike the new SLR is aero-optimised to be breakaway-fast and ultra-distance comfortable the SLR is the perfect option for those looking for one performance bike to ride week in Tell us briefly about the cheaper options and the more expensive options The new SLR Carbon range starts with the 8.9 & 8.9 Women's at £1,400 with this SLR 9.0 is next at £1,800 but that comes with SRAM Red AXS and deep-section Zipp wheels Tell us about the build quality and finish of the frame and fork A very good quality frame and fork throughout Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork Both the frame and fork are created from carbon fibre the frame being Boardman's C7 grade while the fork is C10 Tell us about the geometry of the frame and fork The geometry is reasonably aggressive without being as extreme as a pure race machine How was the bike in terms of height and reach How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size The stack and reach figures give a ratio of 1.45 in this size Tell us how you felt about the ride quality the SLR has a good ride quality and coped well with varying road surfaces Did the bike feel stiff in the right places Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible The SLR feels stiff throughout the frame and the fork For the price and build the overall weight is decent which when paired with the geometry makes the SLR an efficient bike to ride Was there any toe-clip overlap with the front wheel The SLR has quick handling that has a direct feel to it making it a lot of fun to ride fast Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's comfort The Goodyear tyres have a supple ride feel which helps the bike overall and I got on well with the Prologo saddle Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's stiffness The alloy handlebar is stiff enough for out-of-the-saddle efforts and the wheels showed plenty of lateral stiffness Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's efficiency The 105 groupset gives a good range of gearing for added efficiency Anything you particularly did or didn't like Any components which didn't work well together The 105 mechanical groupset offers a great balance of performance Tell us some more about the wheels.Did they work well in the conditions you encountered Decent quality wheels that performed well throughout the review period Did they work well in the conditions you encountered Good all-rounder tyres that are great to see on a bike at this price How would the controls work for larger or smaller riders which while not flash works well and offers plenty fo comfort Anything else you want to say about the componentry Comment on any other components (good or bad) I'd have preferred the 105 chainset rather than the non-series option but this affected the aesthetics rather than the performance How does the price compare to that of similar bikes in the market The SLR is very well priced compared to the competition from the likes of Ribble Merida and Giant as you can see from the comparisons in the review Use this box to explain your overall score This SLR model scores solidly across all aspects of the way it rides while

his competitive side to take over which led to around ten years as a time triallist and some pretty decent results These days though riding is more about escapism keeping the weight off and just enjoying the fact that he gets to ride the latest technology as part of his day job It was a lovely bike to look at for all of 14 days I spent more time resetting  the seat post during the ride than actually riding it Requires what I think is a high torque (10-12 nm) and I ended up damaging the carbon seat post in the end (yes all in just 14 days) also the front derailleur was not set up properly I am now waiting on a Canyon Endurace for £100 more affordable and good-looking – the best-kept secret in pro cycling A showcase of what's achievable in road bike design in terms of weight Great value

this one." Colorado's Democratic Governor Jared Polis' office has said it was surprised" to learn of Trump's criticism adding that the office is "always looking for any opportunity to improve our visitor experience." Boardman is a British-born artist who lives and works in Colorado Springs with her husband She studied in Germany as an apprentice to an Alt Meister in 1985 learning the techniques of the Old Master Painters artists who usually painted from the 13th to the early 19th century realism and detail —often with portrait subjects Boardman was first commissioned to paint former President Barrack Obama's portrait for Colorado's State Capitol after she won the nationwide "Call for Artists" put out by Denver State This came following the death of Lawrence Williams in 2003—he had painted all 43 previous presidential portraits when she said: "My portrait of President Trump has been called thoughtful he will be another president on the wall who is only historical background and he needs to look neutral." Boardman has painted five presidential portraits "Sarah has always been passionate about painting portraits being particularly intrigued by the depth and character found deeper in her subjects," her bio says "Sarah believes that the ultimate challenge is to capture the 'personality character and soul' of an individual in a two-dimensional format She uses a combination of realism and painterly aspects designed to draw the viewer [a] into piece." she was asked by a Colorado Pols journalist if her "personal feelings about Trump after (her) work on his portrait." She answered: "Not at all – when I start to paint a portrait and 'essence' of the subject which I strive to portray Any personal feelings about any subject are not relevant and are left outside the studio per my training to 'leave those emotions at the door.'" Boardman was also asked what she would say to people who were opposed to Trump's portrait being displayed in the first place She said that while she believed "everyone is entitled to their own opinions all presidents from the first to the last are entitled to have their portraits in the Rotunda as it is the 'Gallery of Presidents.'" "Being president is the qualification for entry into the gallery and I respect that qualification on face value as I did with the portrait of President Obama," Boardman said Polis was surprised to learn the President of the United States is an aficionado of our Colorado State Capitol and its artwork and features Rose Onyx and White Yule Marble mined in Colorado and includes portraits of former Presidents and former governors We appreciate the President and everyone's interest in our capitol building and are always looking for any opportunity to improve our visitor experience." Trump wrote on Truth Social: "Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves was purposefully distorted to a level that even I It is yet to be seen whether Polis' office will accede to Trump's wish and take the portrait down Boardman is yet to respond to the president's comments Newsweek is committed to challenging conventional wisdom and finding connections in the search for common ground Newsletters in your inbox See all 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cook & Boardman Group is excited to announce the launch of its newly revamped website Designed with an enhanced user experience in mind the updated site reflects the company's ongoing evolution into a comprehensive solutions provider for its customers across a wide range of industries The new website features a modernized design and expanded content that makes it easier for customers and partners to explore Cook & Boardman's full offerings of products and services Visitors can quickly access information on security integration reinforcing the company's commitment to delivering end-to-end solutions tailored to the needs of its customers "Our new website is more than just a visual update—it's a representation of our transformation as a company," said David Eisner "We have grown from a traditional distributor into a total solutions provider offering an unmatched range of products as well as security and maintenance solutions that help our customers operate safer and more efficiently This digital refresh underscores our commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of our clients."

have been getting letters in the mail about new supply rates for their homes and small businesses the supply rate is about four cents per kilowatt hour ($0.0487) That rate will last until April 1 and is with Energy Harbor The new rate is about eight cents per kilowatt per hour ($0.0804) That is a fixed rate with Dynegy and will continue through April of next year consumers do have the option to shop around and change their supplier and possibly get a lower rate.  “Our recommendation to people would be to look for the lowest fixed rate term that they can find and to go ahead and lock in,” Rebecca Bridges, the Chief Marketing Officer for Electricyrates.com said.  Electricityplans.com is one of several sites that helps people compare different suppliers Bridges said one thing people should really pay attention to when comparing is the fine print.  “That low price per kilowatt hour might have a 12 dollar a month or 14 dollar a month fee attached to it …if you factor in that low price comes with a monthly charge you're not getting the low price you thought you were,” Bridges said.  The eight cent rate provided in the letter to residents is decided through the township's Electricity Aggregation Program The township negotiates with companies for the rates the township had the same fixed rate with Energy Harbor for four years but that agreement expired.  "While the aggregation program has been able to protect participants from rising rates over the past several years the rate for the new term will be rising to meet current market conditions The aggregation will continue to provide a competitive price offer it never guarantees to be the lowest available option at all times," a news release from the Township states.  If Boardman Township residents want to shop around to try and find a lower rate from a different supplier they must opt-out of the aggregation program by March 3 Residents can send a letter to Dynegy or can call 1-833-241-4599 to opt out.  If residents want to stay in the aggregation program and accept the new rate no action is needed Every electricity bill is split into two parts - the delivery rates and the supply rates Consumers are able to change their energy supplier at any time but are never able to change their delivery provider For Boardman Township the delivery provider is Ohio Edison Delivery rates for Boardman Township are not expected to change BOARDMAN — A fast start helped Boardman put away Howland on Monday night so the Spartans duplicated the feat on Thursday to complete the season sweep of the Tigers After jumping on Howland with two early runs in the first inning Boardman pulled away from the Tigers the rest of the way in a comfortable 9-3 victory on Thursday the pitcher can relax and the defense can play loose,” Boardman head coach Fred Mootz said you’ve still got a three or four-run lead It just allows everybody to play much looser and obviously create separation the more runs you can add on generally we’re going to win games.” Tori Strines led off by getting on base thanks to a walk then Ava Freeborough’s base hit advanced Strines into scoring position Alex Ward capitalized with a two-run single to give the Spartans the early advantage Ward finished 3-for-4 at the plate with the two RBIs to lead Boardman another senior and another girl with a ton of experience,” Mootz said “She started out a little rough at the plate this year but she has really picked it up the last couple games she’s unbelievable at third base.” Things got dicey for Boardman at the top of the inning as Howland was able to load the bases with two outs after a leadoff hit by Madison Schmitz and a pair of walks But Gabi Sferra managed to get the Spartans out of the jam with a strikeout to end the inning The inability to capitalize on runners in scoring position proved to be the Tigers’ undoing as Howland left seven runners on base over the first four innings you can’t win games if you don’t score runs,” Howland head coach Nicole Wayt said “With every team in our conference right now you need to put up probably 10 runs to win a game that’s basically what teams are doing you have to find a way to get on and you have to trust yourself I’m not upset about what we did tonight I liked their effort today,” Wayt said “I thought we played better today than we did the other night Boardman added a run in the second inning and two more runs in the fourth inning thanks to RBIs from Strines and Laci Jurus Howland got on the board with an RBI groundout from Calleigh Luman in the third inning But the Spartans put the game away with four runs in the fifth inning that could have been more had it not been for a bases-loaded flyout to centerfield with two outs that limited the damage for Howland Boardman took advantage of four walks by Howland pitcher Maya Kubancsek scoring two runs off a hit by Kenzie Cherne and a bases-loaded walk “I always use ‘pass the bat’ mentality — don’t try to do too much and just put balls in play So they draw a ton of walks and they see the ball well.” After Sferra pitched the first three innings Strines came in and shut down Howland’s lineup for three innings until the Tigers scratched out a pair of late runs in the seventh off RBIs from Mary Moy and Brooke Tatar “This umpire was pretty consistent — they had to go in there and they had to look at something that they could swing at,” Wayt said “We preach to them all the time about not looking and going in there and looking at strikes that are going to be over the plate But they have to go in there and look for strikes that aren’t going to be over the plate Those are what we have to swing at because that’s what a good pitcher does she throws strikes that aren’t over the plate.” Boardman (12-2) travels to face Champion on Saturday at 11 a.m. while Howland (7-6) has almost a week off until it travels to Alliance on April 23 at 5 p.m August 2, 2024 | 4 comments Marilyn Jane Polzin-Boardman

BOARDMAN — Some residents are opposing a cellphone tower going up in the township which they say will negatively impact a historic district Officials said the project has cleared all requirements and will cause no ill effects to residents or property The Verizon tower is set to be installed on property belonging to St Mark’s Victory Lutheran Church on the corner of Mill Creek Drive and Glenwood Avenue The project is being managed by North Star Towers and some of the work is being completed by McCarthy Systems in Poland A representative for McCarthy said little more than some asphalt removal has been completed so far and the company is awaiting materials before construction can begin Roger Miralia lives nearby — the tower will be about 500 feet from his home — and said he does not see a need for the tower with two others within a half-mile He also worries about the effect on property values residents’ health and nearby wetlands “It’s about 100 feet from a house in the historic district and it faces an area where all the historical homes are,” he said “I’ve been talking to some of the neighbors and we’re concerned because it could knock property values down by as much as 20%.” The church is surrounded by three historical districts: The nearest is the Newport Village Historical District and Mill Creek Park and Forest Glen Estates are not far away Keiran said townships have no regulatory authority over cell towers unless they are on residentially zoned property or are going to be within 100 feet of a residence the towers are subject only to state and federal oversight – “Limits on township zoning power for telecommunication towers.” “The state doesn’t want townships to have regulatory authority over these towers or they’re at least limited,” he said Keiran said some additional limitations are imposed when they might affect historical districts but those also are not within the township’s purview He said church properties are often exempt from certain regulations and that is why mobile companies favor them “I think what you’re finding is that communications companies are finding churches for their towers because they know they don’t want to be on residential zoned property and that way it provides a small stipend to that church,” he said Mark’s is supposed to receive an annual subsidy for hosting the tower on its property but a representative of the church could not be reached to confirm that or comment on the tower he was asked to comment on the project for a Section 106 review by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office Such a review is conducted when there is federal funding licensure or any other federal interest involved in a tower’s construction The review is a necessary part of obtaining a federal permit Keiran said he noted that the proposed tower is within the view of the Newport Village Historic District which became part of the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 manager of media and public relations for the Ohio History Connection of which the Historic Preservation Office is a part said the section 106 review was triggered because federal licensure from the Federal Communications Commission was required for the antennas on the tower “We reviewed it (in December 2023) but we can only comment on its effects upon historic resources,” he said that would be the historic districts themselves “Nothing stood out as concerning or detrimental.” it would necessarily — or even likely — have been sufficient to stop the project He also said that towers being erected in historic districts is not uncommon Keiran said a geotechnical report was conducted and submitted as part of the county permit application The Vindicator was not able to reach the Mahoning County Building Inspector to obtain a copy of the report so this article cannot address Miralia’s concerns about the nearby wetlands Miralia said the tower is being built on what he worries is unstable ground where the park road comes close to the creek “The sidewalk is collapsing there and the railing is falling in and the creek is only about 20 feet away,” he said “The construction company said they’re going to put some struts in there so that it will be supported but I don’t know how good that will be.” Keiran said there is little information that can be obtained “The FCC has issued guidelines on radio frequency radiation emissions and those guidelines prohibit local governments from considering the health effects of cell towers in zoning decisions,” he said While the International Agency for Research on Cancer considers radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as “possibly carcinogenic,” both the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute conclude that available scientific data does not suggest a causal link between the towers and cancer in humans Keiran said Miralia is not the only resident to call about the tower but unless it falls directly within the narrow confines of the authority the state affords townships there is nothing Boardman can do to address those concerns “If it’s not within 100 feet of a residence or going on a residential property we have no authority to address it,” he said AUSTINTOWN — The drizzle and overcast skies over the Mahoning Valley set the mood as members of the Youngstown ..
