Paul,

For those of you who are not familiar with the term "Yoots," I highly recommend that you go out and rent "My Cousin Vinny," starring Joe Pesci. It's not a great movie, but it goes something like this...

Two young adults go on a road trip and get accused of a crime, thus finding themselves in a southern jail.
They need a lawyer, and one of them calls upon his cousin, aptly named "Vinny," to help them out of their legal bind.
During the trial, Joe Pesci refers to the two young adults as "yoots," obviously trying to say "youths," but that somehow got mangled with his New York accent (or is it Jersey?).

Had an alderman tell one of our guys that "OSHA is federal...their power doesn't apply here, because we're a home rule community..."

Well, if you don't like the AHJ's decision you can always secede from the State and the Union. It's been done before!
