Engineer shares roadway concerns
stemming from sewer project
By Amber Gillenwater
mdtnews@mydailytribune.com
GALLIPOLIS — During a regular meeting of
the Gallia County Board
of Commissioners on
Thursday, Gallia County
Engineer Brett Boothe expressed his concern over
the restoration of roadways
damaged as a result of the
construction of the Kanuaga-Addison Sewer Project.
Boothe, who was present along with County
Road Superintendent and
Assistant Superintendent
David Roush and Garland
Montgomery,
discussed
repair work that has been
completed and is set to be
completed on county roads
in Addison Township.
As per the contract with
the Gallia County Commissioners, any necessary
repair to roadways damaged as a result of the construction of the sewer must
be repaired at the expense
of the contractor, Trimat
Construction.
Boothe, who is responsible for the maintenance
of the county roadway system, reported that he is not
satisfied with the repairs
that have been made to the
county roads damaged during the sewer’s construction and expressed his concern over the current state
of the portion of Addison

Plans being
made for
Emergency
HEAP
assistance
CHESHIRE — Residents
of Meigs and Gallia Counties are reminded that the
Emergency HEAP program
began on Nov. 1 and will
continue through March 31.
Sandra Edwards, emergency services director,
advises that calls to schedule appointments are being
taken now. She said appointments are being scheduled
on the following Fridays:
Nov. 18, Dec. 9, Jan. 6, Feb.
3 and March 2 at 8 a.m. Residents may call or walk-in on
these dates to book an appointment.
“However, an appointment may not extend a
scheduled utility shut-off,”
said Edwards.
Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities
disconnected, face the threat
of disconnection or have 10
days or less supply of bulk
fuel. The program allows a
one-time payment per heating season to restore or retain
home heating services for
AEP, Columbia Gas, BREC
and Knox Energy. For propane and fuel oil clients, the
payment may cover up to 200
gallons for propane/bottled
gas or fuel oil. Clients heating with wood or coal will be
assisted also. Homeowners
or renters may qualify if their
total household income is at
or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines.
The income guidelines
for both programs are the
same. However, Regular
HEAP requires the previous
12 months income while the
past three months income is
acceptable for Emergency
HEAP. The 12-month period
or three-month period for
the test is determined from
date of application making
it possible for some with decreased income during these
periods to qualify later in the
program. Examples of these
type situations could occur
from layoff, strike, retirement, disability or death of
a spouse or household member. Documentation verifying all household income
must be provided when applying for HEAP. Also a
copy of the applicant’s recent
electric bill is required. It is
also required that you provide a birth certificate for the
primary applicant, social security cards for ALL household members. You will also
be asked for proof of home
ownership or proof of landlord, including address and
phone number.
The following income
levels by household size
should be used to determine
eligibility. These income
guidelines represent the
200% calculation and are
revised annually. Allowable
annual income for a 1 person household is $21,780, 2
persons $29,420, 3 persons
$37,060, 4 persons $44,700,
5 persons $52,340, and 6
persons $59,980. Households with more than six
members should add an additional $7,640 to the yearly
income.
Both Emergency HEAP
and Regular HEAP applications can be completed at
all three (3) offices; Gallia
C.A.A. Office, 859 3rd Avenue, Gallipolis, Central Office, 8010 N. SR 7, Cheshire
or the Meigs C.A.A. HMG/
Heap Office at 122 N. 2nd
Street, Middleport. Applications will be taken by
appointment from 8:30 to
10:45 a.m. and from 1:00 to
3:30 p.m. Walk-ins will be
taken at each office as time
allows.

Sharing a new holiday tradition
with amaryllis flowers
B H K
y
al
neen
Share the experience of
growing an amaryllis into
flower this holiday season
with a child, parent or shut in.
The amaryllis plant belongs
to the lily family and is quite
easy to force into bloom in
just six to eight weeks from
planting its bulb. Their large
bulb (3to 6 inches in diameter) may be purchased for
just a few dollars. Plant the
bulb with roots in the soil and
the top of the bulb one inch
above the soil line. It prefers
a high organic soil composed
of peat, compost or coir (coconut husk). It prefers to be
grown in a pot that is just one
to two inch larger than the
bulb’s diameter. Many times
the bulb comes prepackaged
with the proper soil and a
plastic pot. You may want to
find a clean ceramic or clay
pot that you can place the
plastic pot into as the flower
stalk many times becomes
top heavy for a lightweight
container. The plant bulb
needs about two weeks at
60-70 degree temperatures
to initiate new root growth.
Then place in a sunny spot
to allow the flower stalk to
emerge from the bulb. Water
sparingly. The stalk can grow
one to two inches daily until
its flower buds open. Most
bulbs bloom without the appearance of leaves within
six to eight weeks. The large
trumpet-like flowers can easily measure 4 to 6 inches
across. Most stems will have
four to six blooms. Larger
bulbs (6 inch diameter) may
send up two or more flower
stalks. Take pictures of your
loved one and you with the
amaryllis you grew together
– it will be a keepsake moment. After flowering, allow the leaves to sprout and
grow. Continue to water and
lightly feed with houseplant
fertilizer. When late spring
comes allow it to grow outdoors after frost and continue to fertilize it. Next fall
bring it in the house and allow it to go dormant for six
weeks (stop watering, leaves
will die back) and repot for
bloom next year.

Corporate tax holidays Inside the Pentagon’s
Rockwell family holiday
don’t create jobs
By Jacqueline
Thomas
More than 80 of America’s largest 100 publicly
traded companies shift profits offshore to avoid paying
taxes in the United States.
All told, tax havens cost
American taxpayers $100
billion a year in lost revenue.
Now corporate America is
pushing for a sweetheart deal
that would let them bring the
money back home at a massively discounted tax rate.
Some offshore subsidiaries are nothing more than
PO boxes. In fact, 18,857
“corporate headquarters” are
registered at a single address
in the Cayman Islands. With
close to 1,000 lawyers and
accountants in its tax department, General Electric managed to pay zero dollars in
U.S. taxes on its American
profits in 2010.
Here in Ohio, to make up
for tax dodgers, the rest of the
state’s individual tax filers
had to pay over $4.8 billion
in 2010, according to a study
done by Ohio Public Interest Research Group (Ohio
PIRG). That breaks down
to each taxpayer paying on
average an extra $585, the
seventh highest amount in
the country. If a corporation
benefits from American education, infrastructure, and national security, it should pay
the taxes it owes to America.
An army of corporate
lobbyists on Capitol Hill is
trying to sell Congress on a
“repatriation” holiday, allowing corporations to pay just a
five to eight percent tax rate,
instead of the usual 35 percent, on nearly $1.4 trillion in
profits that is sitting offshore.
We’ve been down this
road before. Congress and
the American taxpayer were
fooled once into giving
corporations a tax holiday
in 2004 on the promise of
job creation. Yet the firms
that benefited most actually
shed jobs, bought their own
stock to boost the price, and
increased executive pay. Eagerly anticipating another
holiday, they then shifted
even more profits offshore.
Small businesses and ordinary taxpayers who couldn’t
afford high-priced attorneys
or accountants were then left
to foot the bill.
The vast majority of U.S.
corporations — the small
businesses that can’t hire
aggressive tax attorneys —
would not benefit at all. A
study recently released by
the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations
found that just 0.015 percent
of American corporations
could take advantage of the
tax holiday in 2004. Pharmaceutical and high tech giants
accounted for nearly half of
the returned funds.
While a tax holiday for
tax dodgers is wrong on
principle, research shows
that it also doesn’t help the
economy. The Senate study
found that the 15 companies
that brought back the most
money in 2004 shed nearly
21,000 jobs. The companies
didn’t use the extra cash to
invest in research and development either. So where
did the money go? According to the study, these same
top firms markedly increased
stock buy-backs and upped
executive pay by nearly 60
percent in the two years fol-
article reflecting back on the relationship between Commissioner Davenport and the news media (namely Brian) and how they
worked well together, and Brian
penned his hope that I would be
someone in service to the county
who could work with the media
(namely Brian) and continue a
good relationship.
You can imagine that I was a
little skeptical about this newspaper guy (Brian) watching as I
rolled up my sleeves and went to
work as this new Commissioner.

My images of Thanksgiving and the holiday
season are like a Norman
Rockwell tableau: happy, smiling faces giving
thanks and taking time to
list the big things: health,
family, security.
During the holidays
I feel especially thankful and proud to live in a
country where few have
to walk miles to get water, or pray for a midwife
to come deliver a live
baby. I am thankful for
those things we too often
forget — .police and firefighters who protect us,
with no graft “tipping”
charge.
We are so fortunate.
Some say we are the richest country in the world
and in the history of
the planet. On the other
hand, the occupy movement is drawing attention
to the growing divide between rich and poor, and
I despair that “he who
dies with the most toys
wins” will replace any
other high-value legacy. Lawmakers are now
struggling to find ways
achieve deficit reduction – leaving many of us
wondering what will remain after Congress has
picked the budget bird?
All of this economic
insecurity is making
many of us feel downright pinched and miserly. In listening to the
latest GOP presidential
debates, it’s clear that in
this fiscal environment,
candidates are ready to
pull back from foreign as-
sistance, cut back on programs that enhance civil
society, and even cut into
the basic social safety net
by waging epic battles
over programs like Social
Security and Medicare.
At the same time, there
is fearful resistance, both
on the campaign trail and
in Washington, to cutting
back on Pentagon spending. This sort of ungracious Scrooge-like behavior might be a natural
response in our current
fiscal climate, but it is ineffective and unsustainable. In the longer term,
this approach will make
us less secure.
When it comes to foreign humanitarian assistance, we should think
about the strategic benefit that comes from being known as the country delivering vaccines,
developing opportunities
for girls to go to school,
providing communities
access to clean water. At
this point, the U.S. budget allocates less than
1 percent of its federal
spending to poverty-focused assistance for other
countries. Even cutting
this aid completely, as
some have suggested,
will have hardly an iota
of effect on deficit savings — though it would
have an effect on our U.S.
reputation and the good
will of other countries –
not to mention, lives.
We also need to cut
back on excessive Pentagon spending and focus on strengthening our
own economy. It’s really
simple arithmetic. Well
Goodbye, Brian, and Thanks
It was somewhere around a
year ago, I know that because I
had just won the November election for Meigs County Commissioner, and I guess you could say
that I just came out of the woodwork, maybe to the surprise of a
lot of people.
The close race and the continued drama of the provisional ballots made headline news in the
county. It seems that something
was going to change in the Court
House. But before I took office
in January, Brian Reed wrote an
Reader Services
lowing the tax holiday.
At the end of the day, the
only clear effect the last tax
holiday had on the economy
was to encourage companies
to shift even more of their
profits offshore. According
to a study by the Congressional Research service, the
nonpartisan research arm
of Congress, firms that took
most advantage of the tax
amnesty last time have increased the amount of cash
stashed offshore by 81 percent. It’s clear what lesson
they learned.
One of the strangest
things about the renewed
push for a tax amnesty is that
the 160 plus corporate lobbyists fighting for it are pressuring the Super Committee,
which is charged with cutting the deficit. They’re undeterred by the nonpartisan
Joint Committee on Taxation’s finding that a corporate
tax holiday will add at least
$42 billion and as much as
$78.7 billion (depending on
the discounted tax rate) to the
deficit over the next 10 years.
Simply put, a corporate
tax holiday is nothing more
than a giant giveaway to the
wealthiest American corporations that use offshore tax
havens. It encourages companies to engage in more of
the same tax-dodging behavior and force small businesses and individual taxpayers
to pick up the tab of the extra
tax burden. Congress must
not let the American taxpayer get fooled again.

Much to my delight, the past was
behind and Brian covered our
efforts with a professional and
non-partisan view. But then one
day a great discovery was made.
My wife, Jane, suggested that
we needed a candy dish on the
Commissioners’ table to sweeten
things up a bit. And guess who
loved the same dark chocolate
that I do? Yes, Brian. I remember one day overhearing him tell
Gloria that I was his favorite new
Commissioner — that was as he
stopped by for a piece of candy.
Yes, this was working out,
and as Brian bragged on the candy and came by often, I would
watch for news-worthy info that
might be of interest, and would
always have something ready.
It was my hope and a mission
to keep the county informed and
involved with our local government, and Brian just seemed to
fit right into my mission, or maybe I worked right into his. Either
way I hope you realize the beneficiary.
Yes, I knew Brian had health

over half of the spending
that Congress annually
appropriates goes to the
Pentagon. We cannot get
sufficient deficit reduction by merely cutting
the arts, National Public
radio and foreign aid –
it’s just not a big enough
portion of our spending.
Dismantling Social Security, Medicare and other
programs that sustain the
American way of life so
that we remain armed to
the hilt in the name of
defending that American
way of life is what my
Mom called “bass akwards.”
There are places to cut
in the Pentagon’s budget
that will help us create a
sustainable national defense in the 21st century.
One example is our Cold
War-size nuclear arsenal.
There are other examples
of wasteful contracting
and procurement practices that military experts
and even Republican candidates for president say
need to be scrutinized.
As we careen into the
end-of-the-year round of
holidays, we in the United
States should recognize
our abundance. We are so
blessed. We should take
opportunities to look after each other and to look
outside ourselves. Let us
wish for others what we
have for ourselves, and
in that spirit build a more
secure nation and world.

time I would ever see him. Had

LEXINGTON,
N.C.
(AP) — A day after deadly
tornadoes struck the Southeast, survivors looked for
what they could salvage,
huddled in loved ones’
hospital rooms and shared
stories of how they made it
through the furious storms.
Some were also mourning. People in a hard-hit
North Carolina neighborhood marked the spot where
a 3-year-old girl’s body was
found with an American
flag. The little girl and her
grandmother were among
six killed in three states
Wednesday.
The two were alone in
the small house in a rural
area south of Lexington
when the storm hit, leaving
behind only the foundation.
The house’s splintered remains were scattered hundreds of feet. The family’s
Dodge minivan ended up
propped against a nearby
tree, its windows smashed
and roof caved in.
Firefighters and volunteers searched for the girl,
whose name wasn’t immediately released, for more
than two hours before finding her buried in a pile of
shattered lumber and furniture.
“She was just beautiful — big blue eyes and so
sweet,” said Maegan Chriscoe, whose daughter played
with the young victim.
Elsewhere, the storms
killed three people in South
Carolina, and a Georgia motorist was died when a tree
crushed his SUV north of
Atlanta.
Dozens more were injured across the region,
scores of buildings were
damaged and thousands
were without power. Meteorologists
confirmed
Thursday that tornadoes
had struck Louisiana and
Alabama a day earlier and
twisters were suspected in
Mississippi, Georgia and the
Carolinas.
“It looked like the ‘Wizard of Oz,’” Henry Taylor
said, describing a funnel
cloud outside his home near
Rock Hill, S.C. “It was surreal, and for a moment, a
split second, you say to
yourself ‘This ain’t real,’
then reality sets in, and you
know it is.”
The 50-year-old Taylor
said he and his wife sought
refuge in a closet as the
storm roared. Part of his
roof was torn off, windows
were blown out and trees
had been snapped in two.
But he and his wife escaped
injury.
“I held my wife closely
in the closet and I prayed. I
said, ‘Oh my God, this is it.
I’m going to be buried in the
debris. We’re going to die,’”
Taylor said Thursday, wiping back tears.
Jerry Neely said his wife,
Janet, was home alone and
fled to the bathroom for
safety. The tornado lifted the
bathtub, pinning her underneath, Jerry Neely said by
phone from his wife’s hospital room Thursday.
“It’s going to be hard to
overcome this. I don’t know
what we’re going to do. It’s
just so hard,” Jerry Neely
said, adding that his wife
will recover from her injuries.
The sheriff for surrounding York County asked
South Carolina Gov. Nikki
Haley for state assistance in
cleaning up the debris. Authorities blocked roads leading into the area and only
allowed emergency workers
and power crews in.
Ideal conditions for severe weather were created
when a cold front stretching
from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Northeast collided with
unseasonably warm air,
forecasters said. Temperatures dropped in some areas
from the low 70s to the 50s
as the front passed.
Still, it’s not unusual for
the region to have severe
storms in November because temperatures can fluctuate wildly, said National
Weather Service meteorologist Neil Dixon.
In Alabama, the National
Weather Service confirmed
that tornadoes hit communities in the western and
central parts of the state
and continued to assess a
suspected twister that demolished mobile homes at
a pair of housing parks near
Auburn University. The
campus was spared major
damage.
It was the worst bout of
weather for the state since
about 250 people were
killed during a tornado outbreak in April the state.
Back in Lexington, Marshall Chriscoe described
running for cover in his
house, which is across the
street from where the little
girl and her grandmother
died. When he got a text
message from his girlfriend
that a tornado was headed
his way, he grabbed her
4-year-old daughter and
they huddled under a heavy
roll-top desk.

tion had been cut while
work was being completed
on the sewer and, due to
this, according to Boothe,
water pooled along one
side of the roadway, causing further problems. Reportedly, the water drainage problem was later
addressed, but the water
saturation damaged the
roadway.
In addition, several
loads of earth, removed
during the project, were
placed in a nearby field,
causing additional equipment traffic and subsequent damage to the road,
according to Boothe.
“Once the sewer project
went through, we had water that was laying on the
upstream side because they
went through the pipe, and
they cut the pipe down in
there. So, all this water was
laying upstream and it saturated the ground,” Boothe
told the commissioners.
“Plus, they brought all of
these loads of material
and they dumped it down
in this guy’s field there.
That’s what has torn this
road up — this section
right here.”
Commissioner Harold
Montgomery inquired as
to how the reported issues
can be resolved on this particular section of roadway.
Boothe reported that the
entire width of the roadway in the specified section needed to be repaired.
“We need to get that
section dug out, we need
to re-compact it and put
the asphalt back down,”
Boothe told the commission.
Boothe also expressed
concern over asphalt that
has already been placed
on Addison Pike between
Ohio 7 and the railroad
tracks, as a large gap along
the yellow line exists be-
tween the new pavement
placed on the east and
westbound lanes.
“There’s a six- or
eight-inch gap right down
the middle of the road,”
Boothe said, and Commissioner Montgomery reported that the asphalt work
on that section of roadway
was not completed.
“Even though they
need to put on a top coat
[to complete the job], they
should at least match up.
That’s poor workmanship,” Boothe said. “Still,
if they put on a top coat,
by not having that matched
up, they’re going to have
so many inches of asphalt
that they are never going
to get that compacted quite
right.
“We just want to make
sure that, on the rest of the
section that we’ve agreed
to, State Route 7 to, at least,
the railroad track, that
when the paving is done,
we still want it to match
up even on their base layer
before they put their surface layer in,” Booth said.
“I know they still got another run on the other lane
before they come back in
with their top coat, but I
want to make sure they are
matched up and everything
is together at the center
line. We don’t want to hold
water in the road.”
Another concern addressed by Boothe was the
reported lack of a water
catch basin at the intersection of Ohio 7 and Addison Pike that will cause
additional problems in the
coming winter months.
“One thing that I don’t
want to wait on is at the
end of Addison Pike, right
at Route 7, there was a
catch basin there, now the
catch basin isn’t there, and
now we’ve got a pond of
water out in the road,”

taxed by either the federal government or
the state.
Veterans needing more information or
who want to apply can call toll-free the local Veterans Service office in Pomeroy if
Boothe said. “My concern
is, we’ve got winter here,
and if it freezes and someone tries to stop right there,
they’ll slide right out into
Route 7.”
County
Commission
Vice-president Joe Foster
agreed with Boothe that
the lack of water drainage
in that area is a problem
that needs to be addressed.
“We agree there’s a
problem there, and we
need to get it fixed,” Foster
said.
Reportedly, the local
asphalt plant will close
as early as Tuesday, and
Boothe discussed his desire to see paving completed on Addison Pike and
Honeysuckle Lane, as well
as all repair work finished
on George’s Creek Road
and Addison Pike before
the winter months.
“My concern is, if it
doesn’t happen this year,
we’re going to have a
tough time taking care of
snow and ice on George’s
Creek and Addison Pike
— especially George’s
Creek because there’s so
much gravel. You can’t
put salt down on a gravel
road … you’ll lose everything you’ve got,” he said.
“We’re going to try to get
all these roads resurfaced
next year provided things
work out, but, obviously,
due to deterioration, if it
doesn’t get fixed this year,
it will be substantially
worse and it will end up
costing more money in the
long run.
“I just want to make
sure that I can take care
of the roads this winter for
everybody down through
there,” Boothe said.
The commission reported that they would communicate the issues to the
contractor and see that all
the problmes that Boothe
has reported are addressed.
“We’ll go to work on
that … and try to get a resolution here,” Foster said.
“Your point is well-taken.”

2 arrests made in Ohio in
suspected murder plot
CALDWELL, Ohio (AP)
— When a South Carolina
man answered a Craigslist ad
seeking a farmhand in Ohio,
there was no job waiting for
him. There was a freshly dug
grave.
The man was shot and
wounded in what investigators say was a murderous
robbery scheme that used
bogus help-wanted ads to
lure victims. He escaped,
but another job-seeker was
later found dead in a shallow grave nearby. And two
suspects — a man and a
16-year-old boy — are under
arrest.
Neighbors living near the
property where the graves
were dug were shocked by
the bloodshed. Some figured
the arrests had closed the
case, while others, like Angie
Noll, put credence in rumors
of more bodies to be found.
“We’re a rural community, maybe there’s 15
houses up here, and right in
our backyard this stuff is going on,” said Noll, a 28-yearold maintenance production
clerk who lives just a few
houses away from the neighbor whose door the South
Carolina man knocked on
after escaping. “I feel kind of
dumbfounded about it.”
The sheriff said it is unclear how long the ad had
been online or whether there
are other victims.
The wooded piece of land
sits on the former site of a
strip mine and is owned by
a coal company and rented
out to hunters. It is isolated,
with no lights and only onelane gravel roads running in
and out.
“It’s an ideal place to
get rid of a body,” said Don
Warner, a rancher who lives
nearby.
A judge issued a gag order in the case Friday, and the
names of the two victims and
the adult suspect were not released.
Before the order was imposed, Sheriff Stephen Hannum said that the South Carolina victim was taken Nov.
6 to the desolate area, where
he managed to deflect a gun
cocked at the back of his
head and ran. Wounded in
the arm, he hid in the woods
for hours, then showed up
covered in blood at the first
well-lighted place he could
see, a farmhouse outside
Caldwell, about 80 miles east
of Columbus.
This week, cadaver dogs
were brought in, and authorities found one hand-dug
grave they believe was intended for the South Carolina man and a second grave
that held the body of a Florida man.
The Akron Beacon Journal identified the suspects
as a 52-year-old man from
Akron, about 90 miles away,
and a high school student
from the Akron area. The
teenager was charged Friday with attempted murder.
While his name appears in
court documents, The Associated Press generally does
not report the names of minors charged with crimes.
No charges were immediately brought against the
man.
The South Carolina man
who escaped to a neighbor’s
house told the homeowner,
Rose Schockling, that he had
answered an ad on Craigslist
for a job and was told he
would be erecting fences for
a cattle farm.
But Schockling said there
is no farm of the size the man
described nearby, with most
of the surrounding countryside either woods or strip
mines.
The man had been told
to bring his belongings with
him to Ohio because he
would be living at the farm,
the sheriff said. Investigators
believe robbery was the motive.

Idaho man charged with trying to assassinate Obama
BOISE, Idaho (AP) —
An Idaho man accused
of firing an assault rifle
at the White House believed he was Jesus and
thought President Barack
Obama was the Antichrist, according to court
documents and those who
knew him. At one point,
he even suggested to an
acquaintance the president was planning to implant computer tracking
chips into children.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 21, was
charged Thursday with at-
tempting to assassinate the
president or his staff. He
is accused of firing nine
rounds at the White House
last Friday night — one of
them cracking a window
of the first family’s living
quarters — when Obama
and the first lady were
away. If convicted, Ortega
faces up to life in prison.
Ortega was arrested
Wednesday at a western
Pennsylvania hotel when
a desk clerk there recognized him and called police.
Ortega’s public defend-
er, Christopher Brown,
declined comment after
his first court hearing in
Pennsylvania.
Ortega’s
mother has said he has no
history of mental illness,
though when authorities
were looking for him, they
reported he had “mental
health issues.”
In Idaho Falls, where
Ortega is from, a computer consultant told The
Associated Press that the
two met July 8 after Ortega asked for help editing
a 30-minute infomercial.
Monte McCall said that
during the meeting at
Ortega’s family’s Mexican restaurant, Ortega
pulled out worn sheets of
yellow paper with handwritten notes and started
to talk about his predictions that the world would
end in 2012.
“He said, ‘Well, you
know the president is getting ready to make an announcement that they’re
going to put GPS chips in
all the children, so they’re
safe,’” McCall said. “…
And then he said, ‘That’s
just what the Antichrist is
going to do to mark everybody.’”
Kimberly Allen, the
mother of Ortega’s former fiancée, said he had
been well-mannered and
kind in the four years she
had known him. But he
recently began making
statements to her daughter
that were out of character,
including that he believed
he was Jesus. Allen said
the family was worried
when he went to Utah recently, where he said he
had business, and didn’t
come back. Ortega’s fam-

ily reported him missing
Oct. 31.
Allen said they were
flabbergasted to hear he
was wanted in Washington.
“I believe that the boy
needs help,” said Allen, of
Shelley, Idaho.
Her daughter, Jessica
Galbraith, was engaged to
Ortega and is the mother
of their 2-year-old son.
She declined to comment
Thursday except to say: “I
love him, and I’m here for
him.”
It was unclear why or
when they split.
Reached by the AP on
Thursday, Ortega’s mother said she didn’t have
anything to say. She earlier told the Post Register in
Idaho Falls her son has no
history of mental illness.
“He has different ideas
than other people, just like
everyone, but he was perfectly fine the last time I
saw him,” Maria Hernandez told the newspaper.
“He might be saying weird
stuff that sounds crazy,
but that doesn’t mean (he)
is crazy. He might be confused and scared.”
At his first appearance
in court in Pennsylvania,
Ortega sat quietly, his
hands free but his feet
shackled. He said only,
“Yes, ma’am” when he
was asked if he understood that he would be going back to Washington to
face the charge.
According to a court
document released after
the hearing, authorities
recovered nine spent shell
casings from Ortega’s car,
which was found abandoned near the White
House shortly after the
shooting. An assault rifle
with a scope was found
inside.
A person who knows
him subsequently told
investigators that he had
become
increasingly
agitated with the federal
government and was convinced it was conspiring
against him, the document
said. Others told investigators that Ortega had
reportedly said Obama
was the Antichrist and the
“devil.” Ortega also apparently said he “needed
to kill” the president.
Authorities said Ortega
was clad in black when
he pulled his car within
view of the White House
on Friday night, fired
shots and then sped away.
The White House has not
said whether the Obamas’ daughters, Sasha and
Malia, were there at the
time or commented on the
shooting.
Ortega was questioned
by police on Friday morning, before the shootings,
just across the Potomac
River from Washington
in Arlington, Va. Police
said they stopped him after a report of suspicious
behavior, but let him go
after photographing him
because they had no reason to make an arrest.
Ortega has an arrest record in three states but has
not been linked to any radical organizations, U.S.
Park Police have said.
This is not the first time
the White House has come
under attack.
In the last 40 years, the
landmark has faced threats
ranging from a stolen helicopter that landed on the
grounds in 1974 to a man
who wielded a sawed-off
shotgun on a sidewalk
outside in 1984. In 1994
alone, there were five
threats including a plane
crash on the lawn and a
suspected drive-by shooting. Another man fired
at least 29 rounds from a
semiautomatic weapon,
with 11 striking the White
House.
Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent
who served on the presidential details for Obama
and President George W.
Bush, said Friday’s shooting would likely mean
tighter security and coordination.
“They do an exhaustive review of their security procedures every
time something like this
happens,” said Bongino,
who recently left the Secret Service to run for
U.S. Senate in Maryland.
“Nothing ever works perfectly. They will undress
this completely and then
they will find out when
they rebuild the incident
exactly what they could
have done better.”

HOF
Staff Report
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Here is a story of the local
boy doing well.
Steve Little, a former
student-athlete in both
Meigs and Gallia counties,
was recently selected as a
Class of 2012 Hall of Fame
inductee by the Ohio High
School Baseball Coaches
Association.
Little grew up playing
sports in the Pomeroy and
Middleport youth systems
before participating in multiple varsity sports while
attending Eastern High
School. Little later moved
and eventually graduated
from North Gallia High
School in 1979 before lettering four times in baseball at the University of Rio
Grande.
Little — who graduated from URG in 1984
— served as head baseball coach at Jackson High
School for 13 seasons
(1989-2001), amassing an
overall record of 191-99.
Little’s teams won two
SEOAL
championships
and eight sectional titles
during that tenure. Little
was named southeast district coach of the year five
times and also coached five
teams ranked in the top-10
by the Coaches’ Association.
In 2001, Little was selected by USA Baseball to
be a trials coach for USA
Youth National Team in
Houston, Texas. The USA
Team went on to win the
gold medal in the Pan Am
games in Vericruz, Mexico.
In 2002, Little returned
to USA Baseball as site
manager for the National
Youth Team in Jupiter,
Florida. Also in 2002, Little began his first season
as head baseball coach at
Olentangy High School,
where he has led the Braves
to three Ohio Capital Conference league championships, two district crowns,
five district finals, one regional championship, and
one state runner-up in 2006.

Wahama defenders J.R. Jewell (20) and Jamin Branch (77) prepare for a play during the second half of

Point Pleasant senior Regan Cottrill, seated front and center, signed a national letter of intent to play softball
for Slippery Rock University (Pa.) Wednesday, Nov. 16, at the PPJSHS library. Regan was joined by parents
Mick and Heather, seated left and right, for the occasion. Standing in back, from left, are Point Pleasant
Principal William Cottrill, current PPHS softball coach Kent Price, former PPHS softball coach Lewie Wickline and PPHS assistant coach Tony Rankin. Regan plans on majoring in physical therapy, one of the things
that led her to sign with SRU. Regan, a multi-year starter at Point as a catcher, said, “They have a very nice
softball program, and they also have a tremendous physical therapy program. Those were the two things
that I really helped in my decision.” (Bryan Walters/photo)
Budke,
Serna
coached
together
for
decade
STILLWATER, Okla.
(AP) Kurt Budke believed
in Oklahoma State when no
one else did, and he wasn’t
afraid to show it.
Less than two years after
his Cowgirls failed to win
any of their 16 conference
games, Budke led them up
against powerhouse Oklahoma and reigning national
player of the year Courtney
Paris. He supported his upstart team with a fashion
statement: the brightest orange blazer he could find.
Behind a scintillating
45-point game from Andrea Riley, the Cowgirls
upset the sixth-ranked
Sooners for the first time in
nine years.
Wherever Budke went,
he won.
The charismatic coach
who turned the Cowgirls
into an NCAA tournament
regular was killed along
with assistant coach Miranda Serna and two other
people in a plane crash in
Arkansas late Thursday.
The two coaches, who had
worked together for more
than a decade, had been on
a recruiting trip.
Budke frequently offered his players encouragement from the sidelines,
but he also could be firm,
raising his deep voice. And
on more than one occasion,
he grabbed a microphone
to speak to the GallagherIba Arena crowd after a
win.
“Coach Budke was a
ball coach. What he did to
turn this program around
was unbelievable but that’s
not important right now,”
said Jim Littell, Budke’s
assistant who will replace
him on an interim basis.
“What’s important is he
was a father figure for these
kids. He had a tremendous
knack of taking kids that
maybe were struggling in
some part of their life and
making it better for them.
That was his strongest
trait.”
Serna, 36, was one of
his top helpers along the
way. She played on one of
his four teams that won the
junior-college national title
at Trinity Valley (Texas)
and was his assistant at
Louisiana Tech for three
straight trips to the NCAA
tournament.
The Guadalupita, N.M.,
native was his recruiting
coordinator at Oklahoma
State, which has been to
the postseason the past five
years.
When he took over the
program, the Cowgirls
had finished with a losing
record in five of their previous seven seasons and
never finished more than a
game over .500 during that
span.
The Cowgirls went
0-16 in Big 12 play in his
first season, then secured
their first bid to the NCAA
tournament in 11 years. The
next year brought a trip to
the round of 16.
“You learn how to lose,
and that’s a bad habit,” he
once said of those early
struggles. “Sometimes, it’s
easier to lose than to fight
back, so we had to change
habits and expectations.”
Budke had little to sell
but a dream, but it was
enough to convince the
WNBA-bound Riley to
come make her mark. She
left as the program’s career
scoring leader.
“I came to this league
because I wanted to coach
against the best, night in
and night out,” he once said.
“These players that want to
come play for us want to
play against the best. That’s
how we go out and recruit.”

yards to lead the Pirate offense.
Fayetteville took the
opening kick and marched
60 yards in 10 plays to gain
the early edge. Behind a
steady diet of Hernandez
and a 20 yard pickup by
Dorsey the Pirates took
the lead on a surprise pass
from quarterback Aaron
Krise to Elijah Lewis covering the final 12 yards.
Krise booted the point after to give Fayetteville an
early 7-0 advantage with
7:03 to play in the opening
quarter.
Wahama would answer on the second play
of the second period when
Grimm capped a 62 yard
eight play series with the
first of two consecutive
four yard runs into the middle. Pass plays from Gibbs
to Tyler Roush of 16 yards
and to Kane Roush covering 20 yards propelled the
Falcons during the series.
Zack Wamsley booted
the point after to even the
score at 7-7 with 11:15 remaining in the half.
The White Falcons
would add two more
touchdowns before the half
concluded with Grimm
putting WHS in front for
good with a four yard run
at the 7:02 mark of the
quarter. Gibbs would later
hook up with Lee on a 51
yard score at the 1:57 juncture of the second canto.
The point after kick was
blocked after the first TD
of the stanza with Gibbs
finding Tyler Roush for the
two-point conversion fol-
lowing the second score to
give Wahama a 21-7 halftime edge.
Jamin Branch separated
Fayetteville running back
from the ball with Zack
Killingsworth coming up
with the loose pigskin for
the White Falcons at the
Pirate 22. One play and 22
yards later Grimm was in
the end zone. The point after pass failed and Wahama
led by a 27-7 score with
6:53 to play in the third.
Fayetteville came back
with a 67 yard drive aided
by a 26 yard halfback pass
from Hernandez to Dorsey
with Lewis going the final yard for the score with
3:48 left in the third quarter. Krise booted the point
after kick to pull the visitors to within two scores at
27-14.
Kane Roush took the
ensuing kickoff and outran everybody down the
far sideline for an 80 yard
kickoff return for a touchdown to pretty much seal
the Falcons victory.
Wahama would later
add a 33 yard touchdown
from Gibbs to Tyler Roush
and a two yard Grimm run
in the final period while
Fayetteville would get a
three yard Lewis burst to
conclude the games scoring with the White Falcons
holding a 45-20 advantage.
In addition to Grimm’s
big offensive totals was
Isaac Lee with 32 yards on
the ground and 51 through
the air and Gibbs with five
connections for 126 yards
and two touchdowns. Tyler
Roush caught two passes
for 49 yards with Kane
Roush grabbing two for 26
yards.

year, will take to the road

muzzleloader seasons, a valid Ohio deer permit is also
required and hunters should
use only the firearm legal for
the season.
Known in Ohio as “wild
boars,” they also are also
called free-ranging European wild boar, Russian
wild boar, wild pigs, wild
hogs, or razorbacks. These
“eating machines” damage
agricultural crops, degrade
wildlife habitat and consume ground-nesting bird
eggs, reptiles, amphibians,
or just about anything else
they come across, say state
wildlife biologists.
They also carry diseases
that can infect domestic
livestock, wildlife, and even
people. At present, the two
most significant diseases
wild boars carry are pseudorabies and swine brucellosis,
according to the ODNR.
Other than having a valid
Ohio hunting license there
are otherwise few restrictions on the taking of wild
boar except during the deer
gun and muzzleloader seasons. During deer gun season you must have a valid
deer tag in your possession
and be carrying a bow or
firearm that is also legal for
deer hunting.
Any firearm (shotgun,
handgun or muzzleloader)
or bow that is legal and
suitable for shooting deer
should be an effective option for shooting wild pigs.
As is always the case, shot
placement is critical – pigs
aren’t shaped like deer, the
vitals are farther forward. So
a shot placed like a typical
lung shot on a deer would
likely result in a gut-shot
hog.
Likewise with coyotes,
there are few regulations
concerning taking them except during the deer gun and
muzzleloader seasons, again
you must have a valid Ohio
deer permit, use only the
legal firearm for the season
and do it during legal deer
hunting hours.
I am fairly certain the
members of my deer hunting group would gladly
shoot a coyote if one were to
offer itself, and I have seen
them in the woods while
deer hunting, but generally
they are on the move and
don’t present themselves as
a target for very long.
According to a QDMA
(Quality Deer Management
Association) biologist, random shooting of coyotes
from deer stands is exactly
that – random – and will not
make an appreciable difference in the coyote population. Keep in mind that for
the past couple of hundred
years humans have made
concerted efforts to eradicate coyotes with the result
being that there are more
coyotes than ever before.
Generally coyotes will
eat fawns in the spring, and
mature deer that are hit by
vehicles or wounded and
lost by hunters, or feed off
of the remnants of butchered carcasses. The key to
fawn survival is habitat and
a healthy deer population;
although coyotes are newcomers to Ohio, whitetail
deer and coyotes have actually co-existed for millennia
across much of their range,
so the coyotes aren’t going
to eliminate the deer.
Hunters may also see
black bear and bobcats
while they are out in the
woods, but those animals are
endangered in Ohio and are
protected by law, so please
enjoy – but don’t shoot – the
bears and bobcats.
Good luck and safe hunting, and please take the
opportunity to introduce a
youngster to the great outdoors!

Ravens-Bengals clash in AFC North showdown
BALTIMORE (AP) The
Cincinnati Bengals have
surprised quite a few people
with their impressive start
this season. The Baltimore
Ravens are not among those
on the list.
Cincinnati went 4-12
last year and still beat the
Ravens. Baltimore is 5-4 in
its last nine regular-season
games against Pittsburgh
and 3-6 against the Bengals.
So don’t go telling the
Ravens (6-3) that Sunday’s
showdown for first place in
the AFC North is an unexpected development.
“I knew they were always on the brink of being
a good team,” Baltimore
linebacker Terrell Suggs
said. “Now they’re winning
games.”
Suggs is the Ravens’
career sacks leader, but he
didn’t have one last year
against Cincinnati (6-3). On
Sunday he will be chasing
quarterback Andy Dalton,
whose 14 touchdown passes
over the first nine games is
the most by a rookie since
the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.
Four different Cincinnati receivers have at least
26 catches and two touchdowns, most notably A.J.
Green (41 receptions, six
TDs). Green’s return from
a right knee injury sustained
in last week’s 24-17 loss to
the Steelers won’t be determined until game time, but
coach Marvin Lewis still
has plenty of options to send
at the renowned Baltimore
defense he ruled from 19962001.
“They’ve got some good
weapons over there,” Suggs
said. “This team is not only
dangerous, but they’re special. Marvin Lewis knows
that. They’re playing with
a lot of confidence. We
definitely have some work
to do, especially after last
week.”
Ah, last week. Coming off an uplifting win in
Pittsburgh, the Ravens in-
explicably lost at Seattle to
tumble out of first place.
“We lost a game. Nobody feels good about it,
but at the same time, we
can’t really ride that wave
and be on emotional highs
and lows,” quarterback Joe
Flacco said. “We have to get
ready to play another game
a very important game.”
The winner climbs into
a first-place tie with Pittsburgh, and the Ravens
own the tiebreaker with the
Steelers. The Bengals can
ill afford to drop into third
place with an 0-1 record
against each of the top two
teams.
“I think that’s really
key, that (the Ravens) have
kind of put their best foot
forward already in the division by beating the Steelers twice,” Lewis said. “So
for Pittsburgh and us and
Cleveland … we’re all kind
of playing uphill to the Ravens right now. This is a big
football game that way. If
you want to win your division, you’ve got to win the
division games.”
Cincinnati is 4-1 on the
road this season, but this
will be its toughest test to
date. The Ravens have won
six in a row at home and 14
of 15.
“That’s our challenge,
to win again on the road,”
Lewis said. “We know that,
like some places we’ve
played this year, it can get
loud. But we’ve got to do
what we’ve got to do be
efficient on offense and be
exact on defense. Then it
just comes down to playing
football.”
Cincinnati’s six wins are
against teams with a combined 22-36 record, but the
Bengals feel no need to de-
fend themselves after their
strong showing in defeat
against Pittsburgh.
“It was tough that we
ended up losing, but we
were in the game the whole
time,” said Dalton, who
brought Cincinnati back
from an early 14-0 deficit.
“And so, we do have confidence we’re going to be in a
lot of these games.”

Marshall rallies for 23-22
win over Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)
Travon Van scored on a 19yard run with 6:10 left and
Marshall overcame five
turnovers, rallying for a 2322 win against Memphis
Thursday night.
Both teams now have
just one game left in the
regular season but Marshall
(5-6, 3-3 Conference USA)
played most of this contest
like an early season practice, losing three fumbles
and two interceptions.
Frank Trotter picked up
one fumble, running it back
18 yards to put Memphis (29, 1-5) up 22-10 with 11:22
remaining in the game.
But Andre Booker returned the ensuing kickoff
64 yards, setting up Tron
Martinez, who rushed for
93 yards, on his only touchdown from 21 yards out on
the next play to bring Marshall within five points 21
seconds later.
Martinez then rushed for
28 yards on Marshall’s next
possession, setting up Van
for the game-winner.
Marshall’s defense held
Memphis on downs in each
of its final two possessions.
LOUISVILLE,
Ky.
— West Virginia University Institute of Technology officials informed the
Mid-South
Conference
commissioner’s office on
Thursday that the school
would be leaving the conference effective June 30,
2012.
West Virginia Tech
will continue its association with the NAIA as an
independent member and
will seek full membership
into the United States
Collegiate Athletic Association in 2012-13. Tech
is currently a provisional
member of the association.
“We are obviously
disappointed but we understand and wish West
Virginia Tech, its admin-
istration and its studentathletes all the best in
the future,” MSC Commissioner Steve Baker
said. “It has truly been a
pleasure working the entire West Virginia Tech
institution and its athletic
department during their
time in the Mid-South.”
West Virginia Tech
joined the MSC at the
beginning of the 2006-07
academic year as a full
member.
“We are grateful to
the Mid-South Conference and its member institutions for the six years
that we have spent in the
league,” Tech Athletics
Director Frank Pergolizzi
said. “The MSC is an
outstanding conference
comprised of outstand-
ing academic and athletic
institutions. We will miss
the friendships and the
great competition.”
Pergolizzi said the decision to pursue NCAA
and the West Virginia
Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference membership
at a later date is a separate
issue and still an option.
With West Virginia
Tech’s departure, the
Mid-South
Conference
will have 11 full-time
members at the beginning
of the 2012-13 academic
year. Bluefield College
and Cumberland University were accepted as full
members for 2012-13 last
summer. Thirteen institutions sponsor football in
the two-division MSC.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
Nov. 21, 2011:
This year others might feel that you
are giving mixed messages. You are
changing on a profound level, especially in how you communicate. During
this process, communication might be
in flux. Be willing to talk through problems. If you are single, you could meet
someone seemingly special. Check
this person out. He or she might not
be all you think he or she is. If you are
attached, you as a couple need more
one-on-one time. LIBRA understands
you very well.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Face facts: Some Mondays
are more difficult than others. Greet
the difficult. You or someone else —
or maybe both of you — will need
to make an adjustment. Do avoid
a power play at any cost. Others
want more control. Let them have it!
Tonight: Out and about.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH Your work, routine and daily
life seem to take their toll. You would
prefer to be somewhere else. Try to
funnel some of your creativity into the
area of your life in which you have an
issue. Change what no longer works
for you. Tonight: Choose a feel-good
activity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH You move in a new direction because you remain open to ideas
and directions. Stay optimistic and
positive. Don’t worry about others right
now — only what is on your plate. A
partner might not realize that he or she
is a major distraction. Tonight: Now the
fun starts.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You might want to close your
door or cocoon somewhere. But the
best action is to stay present and fulfill
your obligations. Ask yourself what
type of change would work for you
with this person. Weigh the pros and
cons. Approach the other party, but not
today! Tonight: Home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Parcel out your energy.
You cannot count on getting a second
wind. You might need to do as much
as possible on the phone, from your
office and/or on the computer. You
cannot count on your energy and others not interfering. Tonight: Chat with a
friend over dinner.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HH Curb your need to add to your
lucre right now. Any risking financially
could backfire. Be the conservative,
steady Virgo for now. A relationship
could be going through profound
changes. Someone you meet could
mean a lot more than you thought possible. Tonight: Don’t feel pressured.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Despite flak from someone
you care about, you need to let it go
and focus on what you want. Your
sense of humor emerges when dealing
with others. You’ll also gain a better
perspective away from home. You can
push almost any idea that is important.
Tonight: As you wish.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HH See what is going on behind
the scenes. You might be picking up a
lot of information that doesn’t coincide
with your knowledge. Become your
own PI as you sleuth through what
is real and what isn’t. Your questions
carry a great deal of impact. Tonight:
Get some extra R and R.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Zero in on your priorities.
Not everything is as you might like.
A financial matter feels as if you’ve
stepped into quicksand. It really isn’t
that bad. Explore your options with
your eye on what honestly works for
you. A meeting proves to be significant. Tonight: Surrounded by people.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Tension runs high, as you
don’t see eye to eye with an authority
figure. Passions runs high, and you
open up to new possibilities. Honor
someone’s ideas and try them out.
You might be sure they won’t work,
but you are not in charge. Tonight: Out
late.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH If you can take in a bigger perspective, do. The more you
understand, the more you push judgment aside. Your openness is ultimately a very positive quality, making
your life and the lives of those around
you easier. Let go of rigidity. Tonight:
Let your mind choose.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Where your friends are
is where you want to be. Schedule a
lunch with a pal, mixing in a little business. Your tendency to sprinkle in
socializing pays off, as you feel more
satisfied. Business every day, all day
long doesn’t always work. Tonight:
Share with a special person.

available, are at the French Art
Colony, 530 First Avenue, Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4
p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3
p.m.
This long running tour is a
“must see” event and a great
way to gain new ideas for those
considering updating their home
décor. The five homes on display
date from about 1830 to the present decade. Dates for the tour are
Friday evening, the candlelight
tour, on December 2nd from 6 to
10 p.m., and Saturday afternoon,
December 3, from 1 to 4 p.m.
Gallipolis, settled in 1790,
is the second oldest permanent
settlement in the Northwest Territory. The City and the historic
City Park, along the Ohio River,
where the French “500” landed
in 1790, will also be decked
with holiday trim. Along with
the homes, the oldest church in
Gallipolis, the First Presbyterian Church, circa 1828, evolved
from the First Religious Society,
who met in City Park, beginning
in 1815. The Church is located
at 51 State Street, a short walk
from City Park. It will be open
and decorated to welcome guests
and, if we are lucky, the magnificent organ may be playing.
The Our House Museum, a
short walk from the French Art
Colony on First Avenue, will be
open to visitors during the tour.
Often those who live in Gallipolis overlook some of the best
attractions in their own community. This former inn was open to
travelers in the early 1800s and
will be decorated with themes

Ex-prosecutor knocks Casey Anthony lawyer, jurors
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) —
A retired prosecutor from the
Casey Anthony murder trial calls
her lead attorney “smarmy” in
a new book and says he didn’t
think a jury would ever agree to
the death penalty for the Florida
mother, who was ultimately acquitted of killing her 2-year-old
daughter.
Jeff Ashton writes in Tuesday’s “Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony” that
he would have been happier if
the prosecution team had left
the death penalty off the table.
He also confirmed that toward
the end of the trial, Anthony’s
attorneys tried to persuade the
25-year-old to accept a plea deal
but she refused to listen.
“Personally, I think I would
have been happier if the death
penalty had not been reintroduced into the case, even though
I think on some level I think
Casey may have deserved it,”
Ashton said in the 324-page
book. “Simply put, I just didn’t
think the jury would go there.”
As it turns out, Anthony refusal to accept a deal paid off.
Jurors in July acquitted her in
the killing of her daughter, Caylee, and she was released from
prison, though she is in hiding
somewhere in Florida, serving
probation for an unrelated check
fraud case.
Ashton’s book is the first account written by one of the key
players in the trial that captured
the attention of the nation last
summer. The 54-year-old career
prosecutor retired as planned after the trial, following 30 years
of trying cases.
The film and television rights
for the book have already been
bought by Fox Television Studios, studio spokeswoman Leslie
Oren said. The project is being
developed for the Lifetime cable
network.
In the book, Ashton takes direct aim at Anthony’s defense
attorneys, specifically Jose
Baez, whom he says he genuinely dislikes. He said Baez was
careless with the facts, unmindful of deadlines and encouraged
Anthony to be uncooperative
with detectives searching for her
daughter.
“There is an unearned air of
arrogance about the man that
is incredibly frustrating to witness,” Ashton writes. “The word
I used in describing Jose is
smarmy: somebody who is slick,
underhanded and doesn’t shoot
straight.”
Baez said in a statement that
Ashton’s characterizations were
false.
“Having read several of the
comments Mr. Ashton makes in
his new book, I am both surprised
and somewhat disappointed he
has chosen to attack me on a personal level,” Baez said. “Without
going into specific detail, I will
say only that many of his accusations are absolutely false.”
Ashton also displays an unflattering view of the jurors. He
wrote they seemed to give a lot of
thought and discussion to which
movies they wanted to watch or
which restaurants to go to while
they were sequestered. Yet no juror asked a single question about
the evidence during deliberation.
“From the moment our jury
had been fielded … we’d had
concerns over their apparent
absence of strong opinions as
well as over the amount of effort
they seemed willing to expend
on this,” Ashton writes. “In retrospect, I think those concerns
were justified.”
Three jurors gave television
interviews immediately after
the verdict, but they have since
refused to talk to reporters about
the case.
Ashton said people who disagreed with the acquittal and still
think Anthony was guilty should
leave her alone and ignore her, in
hopes she’ll fade from the public
memory.
“My advice to people who
are angry about this is to ignore
Casey, and I hope that’s what
they do,” he said on NBC’s “Today” show Tuesday.
“I hope that someday, and I
know this probably won’t happen, the name Casey Anthony
will invoke a ‘who’s that?’”
The book, for the first time,
also discloses the results of two
psychological evaluations taken
of Anthony.
Two defense psychologists
who did the evaluations never
testified. But Anthony told the
psychologists that she was sexually abused by her father, Ashton
wrote.
As part of their defense, Anthony’s attorneys said Caylee
drowned in the family swimming pool, and that her father,
a former police officer, helped
cover it up. Anthony’s partying
and shopping during the month
before her daughter was reported
missing was caused in part by
her father’s sexual abuse, according to the defense theory.
Her father, George Anthony, repeatedly denied those claims in
court and afterward.
One psychologist expressed
apprehension about his evaluation being used to support that
defense theory, Ashton writes,
especially since Anthony had
scored in a normal range on a test
designed to discover mental disorders. The other psychologist
gave Anthony a battery of tests
to diagnose stress from trauma
such as sexual molestation. The
tests didn’t support the theory
that she had been molested, Ashton writes.
A few weeks before trial,
prosecutors met with George
Anthony, and his wife, Cindy, to
give them a heads-up about the
molestation accusations that the
defense planned to use at trial.
“George looked like he had
been crying, like someone had
just killed Caylee all over again,”
Ashton writes. “He was just devastated.”
More than six months af-
ter she disappeared, a meter
reader found Caylee’s remains
in a swampy, wooded area near
where she lived with her mother
and grandparents. Ashton said in
the book that law enforcement
and volunteers never examined
that area until Roy Kronk reported seeing the remains there
in December 2008.
“In the end, Murphy’s Law
prevailed: everyone assumed
that someone else had searched
there, but in fact no one actually
had,” Ashton writes. “Everyone,
including law enforcement, assumed that the most obvious
place had to have been combed
and given the all clear — which
just proves the adage about what
happens when you assume. Everybody ends up looking like and
ass and a nation spent an extra
four months searching around
the country for a lost little girl
who was a quarter mile from
home.”
A spokesman for the Orange
County Sheriff’s Office, the lead
agency investigating Caylee’s
disappearance and death, said
Monday that pinpointing a place
to search for the toddler was
challenging.
“Mr. Ashton, as part of the
prosecution team, was well
aware of the difficulties in establishing a starting point,” Capt.
Angelo Nieves said. “Casey
Anthony told numerous lies to
law enforcement throughout the
investigation concerning her
daughter’s whereabouts.”
Sharon Stone announces two new movie roles
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Sharon Stone is taking on two very different roles: One in a Linda
Lovelace biopic, and another online to welcome
returning troops.
The 53-year-old actress says she will play
Lovelace’s mother in
“Lovelace.” But before
filming starts, the “Basic
Instinct” star has another
mission: She’s taking her
first steps into the world
of social media with a
Facebook page that welcomes returning military
personnel home from duty
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Stone says her page
will serve as a community bulletin board where
people can not only thank

“It’s very important

Giffords faces long road, wants to return to Hilla
WASHINGTON (AP) — Debating opponents. Negotiating
compromises. Raising money.
The demands of Congress are
great for anyone, much less someone recovering from a gunshot to
the head like Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Giffords’ first televised interview showed a lively woman
making good progress in recovering from a devastating brain injury, yet still struggling mightily
to pull out the words she wants.
Only 10 months after her injury,
brain specialists unconnected with
Giffords’ care say she’ll almost
certainly continue to improve. But
no one can predict how much or
how fast.
How the brain rewires itself after trauma — making new connections or recruiting an undamaged
area to compensate for a damaged
one — is largely a mystery. But
most people with severe brain injuries never emerge as exactly the
same person they were before, and
lingering impairment could make
a return to Congress a difficult decision for Giffords and her family.
The stress of the job should
get consideration, said Dr. Jordan
Grafman, director of the Traumatic Brain Injury Research Laboratory at the Kessler Foundation
Research Center in West Orange,
N.J.
“A little stress makes us sharp.
A lot of stress kills neurons,” said
Grafman, who has long studied penetrating brain injuries but
hasn’t examined Giffords. After a
severe brain injury, “I really don’t
think you’d want to be exposed to
the level of stress that you’d be exposed to in Congress. I wouldn’t
want to.”
Monday’s interview on ABC
was the first opportunity for the
public to get a detailed look beyond the reassurances of Giffords’
friends and physicians about how
she’s fared since being shot on
Jan. 8. It was a chance to see what
someone who’s making a recovery often called miraculous or remarkable really looks like.
Giffords appeared determined
and confident, but she struggled
to form multiple-word sentences,
much less string them together for
a detailed conversation. With the
help of her husband, Mark Kelly,
she said she wouldn’t return to
Congress until she was “better.”
The filing deadline to run to for reelection to her House seat is May
30.
On Tuesday, Giffords’ staff
released on her Facebook page
a more complex, minute-long
recording made last week, two
weeks after the ABC interview.
In it, she says wants to get back to
work.
“I’m getting stronger. I’m getting better,” Giffords says still
somewhat haltingly. She adds,
“There is a lot to say. I will speak
better.”
Giffords read a script for the recording, which required multiple
takes “until she was happy with
it,” said spokesman Mark Kimble.
To independent brain specialists, Giffords’ speech thus
far is good, considering the bullet passed right by an important
speech region in the brain’s left
side.
“I think she’s way ahead of
the curve,” said Dr. Ross Bullock,
chief of neurotrauma at the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital. “Just as people’s
faces are different and personalities are different, just where those
collections of really important
cells are located varies from person to person,” making it impossible to say how much her speech
region was damaged.
Indeed, video taken by Kelly
of his wife’s hard slog through
rehabilitation showed a hugely
common frustration: People with
all kinds of brain injuries recall,
once they can speak again, that
they knew what word they wanted
but a completely unrelated one
popped out from their brain’s
tangled wiring. “Spoon,” Giffords
kept saying to a therapist early on,
instead of “chair.”
Recovery from a brain injury
is most dramatic in the first year,
especially in the first three to six
months. Much of that early improvement is spontaneous as the
brain’s networks reorganize themselves, said Dr. Robert Laureno,
neurology chairman at Washington Hospital Center.
The recovery can continue for
two years although more slowly,
the kinds of changes more noticeable to people you don’t see often,
Grafman said. Rehab helps to spur
the brain’s continued rewiring,
what scientists call plasticity. Giffords’ adaptable personality and
motivation give her an obvious
advantage, he added.
