A Columbia County deputy was arrested this morning and charged with simple battery on an inmate.
News 12's Domonique Benn finds out how this deputy ended up on the other side of the blue line.
Columbia County deputy Michael Thompson has been a jailer for nearly four years.
Co-workers say he was an excellent employee.
"As far as disciplinary record there is none to speak of, good employee up to this incident," says Capt. Steve Morris of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.
The incident involved inmate Elijah Gardner.
The Columbia County Sheriff's Office would not go into detail about what happened February 18, but inmate Gardner did file a grievance that was reviewed by Sheriff Clay Whittle.
Nine days later Deputy Thompson was placed on paid administrative leave.
"As a result of both investigations the deputy was terminated and arrested," says Capt. Morris.
Deputy Thompson was arrested Wednesday morning for simple battery.
"He was arrested as a result of the incident and the case will then be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office for prosecution," Capt. Morris says.
While there was no physical injury to the inmate, the Columbia County Sheriff's Office says it will not tolerate excessive force.
"I think this is a case in point that Sheriff Whittle will apply the law equally to all people to all parties concerned regardless of who it is or who it may involve," says Capt. Morris.
Holding Columbia County officers accountable for their actions...a job the sheriff doesn't take lightly.
Thompson was released from the Columbia County Jail on $1100 bond.
News 12 did try to talk with him...he had no comment.
Inmate Elijah Gardner has been moved to a boot camp in Baldwin County since this incident.

VAIL, Colorado - Here's the good news: Five current and former mayors of Vail will share stories and insights at Tuesday's annual community meeting at the town's Donovan Pavilion. The bad news? They only have about an hour for the panel discussion.
Rob LeVine, who's going to moderate the panel discussion, said that's only about 12 minutes per mayor.
"We'll encourage people to catch up after the event," LeVine said. "And I've asked everyone to keep their answers brief." LeVine said he wants to put roughly equal emphasis on reminiscence and looking forward through the prism of what Vail has already experienced.
Four of the five panel members - Rob Ford, Dick Cleveland, Ludwig Kurz and Andy Daly - still live in town. The fifth, Peggy Osterfoss, is making the trip from her current home in Taos, N.M., for the event.
Osterfoss was first elected to the Vail Town Council in 1989, and served as mayor from 1991-95. That town council served when the Vail Village parking structure was built. The town's roundabouts were built during that time, too, as was the first for-sale employee housing. But, asked what she notices most on her visits, she says it's the growth of the trees that were planted while she was an elected official.
Osterfoss still visits Vail regularly - some years more than others - so she's had a chance to see the town evolve between visits.
"Vail's a pretty dynamic place," she said. "I've enjoyed watching it change."
A lot of that change came in just the last decade or so. Kurz, who was mayor from 1999-2004, said he doesn't think Vail will see that intensity of change again any time soon.
"We had gotten behind the 8-ball compared to our competitors," Kurz said. Not much in Vail had changed in the years before the "Vail renaissance" started in earnest, Kurz said. The pace of those construction and other projects was born of a need to catch up, he said.
If Vail maintains its leadership among mountain resorts, Kurz said he doesn't think there will be a need for the years when cranes dotted the town's skyline.
Andy Daly, the current mayor, said he believes Vail will still have to change quickly, since we live in fast-changing times.
"Rapid change is going to be part of lives," Daly said. "It's not something we should try to avoid."
While Vail's known as a place where people can slow down and relax, Daly said, those guests still need to be able to have the same kind of Internet service they have at home - if that's what they want.
It's going to be tough to squeeze all those thoughts into just an hour, but Daly said he's looking forward to the discussion.
"It should be a great time," Osterfoss said. "I feel fortunate to have the honor of participating."

RECAP: Flames burn Oilers 4-3 in Calgary
Eberle, Schultz each pick up two points in setback
Sunday, 01.27.2013 / 1:41 AM MT / Cenovus Game Story
By Ryan Dittrick - edmontonoilers.com
|Ryan Whitney & Jarome Iginla come together during the Battle of Alberta on Saturday, Jan. 26. (Photo by Getty Images).
Lee Stempniak recorded a goal and two assists as the Calgary Flames burned the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 Saturday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
Just 50 seconds in, Jordan Eberle engineered a fantastic scoring for Justin Schultz. The rookie blueliner got the puck all alone in the slot, but his high wrist shot was blocked by the challenging Miikka Kiprusoff.
Calgary came right back the other way as Flames rookie Sven Baertschi barged up the middle, but a perfectly timed sweep check by Ladislav Smid knocked the puck to safety.
Back-and-forth they went. Eberle and Taylor Hall then burst up ice on a clearcut 2-on-1 opportunity, but No. 14's cross-ice pass was broken up and the play was derailed.
At 5:16, the Flames took a 1-0 lead. As the puck pinballed around the crease area, Jeff Petry was unable to clear it. On a desperate second effort, Mikael Backlund punched it across the line for the goal.
42 seconds later, the Flames went to the power-play as Eberle was assessed a holding minor. Without allowing a single shot, however, the Oilers came up with a big kill.
As the midway point approached, Nick and Justin Schultz got their wires crossed defensively and gave up a partial 2-on-0 chance for the Flames. Fortunately for the Oilers, Jarome Iginla's centering pass was out of Alex Tanguay's reach and the 1-0 game remained.
With 7:38 on the clock, Darcy Hordichuk was charged with a questionable cross-checking call. As a result, Calgary's fourth-best power-play (4-for-11 coming in) went back to work. Just as the penalty expired and Hordichuk was racing back into the play, a long-range wrist shot by Jay Bouwmeester squeaked through the wickets of Devan Dubnyk and across the line for a 2-0 Flames lead.
Late in the period, ex-Oiler Curtis Glencross steamrolled Dubnyk and was sent off for goaltender interference. Four seconds into the power-play, Justin Schultz wired a wrist shot on net -- the puck eluded everyone's grasp en route, bouncing across the line to pull the Oilers back in the game.
At 19:19. Fitting, wouldn't you say?
With 20 minutes in the books, Calgary led 2-1 on the scoreboard and was in possession of a 13-10 edge in shots.
The Oilers nearly brought the game back on even terms three-and-a-half minutes in as Eberle, Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins orchestrated a 3-on-2 chance to (near) perfection. RNH's shot handcuffed Kiprusoff, but the veteran netminder squeezed it hard enough to keep it out.
On the ensuing faceoff, the Flames turned it back the other way and restored their two-goal edge. A centering pass by Iginla was kicked out into the slot by Dubnyk, and Glencross was quick to pounce on the rebound by sliding it into the empty cage.
At 5:07, the Oilers went back to the PK as Ryan Whitney was called for tripping. Some scary moments ensued, but Edmonton came up with its third kill of the game to keep the contest in a 3-1 score.
Flames defenceman Mark Giordano was erroneously called for tripping at 7:46, putting the Oilers on their second power-play of the night. Just like the earlier advantage, the visitors made good on it.
Eberle curled from the corner and into the slot, picked his spot, set his sights and launched a missle of a wrist shot up and over Kiprusoff to make it a 3-2 game.
Calgary nearly got it right back as Blair Jones rifled a rocket off Dubnyk's blocker-side post.
With 6:58 to play, Nugent-Hopkins was assessed an interference minor; Calgary's 0-for-3 power-play got another chance. Late in the 5-on-4, Bouwmeester spotted a wide-open Lee Stempniak at the doorstep. Stempniak made no mistake, redirecting the pass up and over Dubnyk for a 4-2 Flames lead at 14:57.
The Oilers were granted another chance to get back in the game as Blake Comeau was sent off for slashing, but it lasted only 37 seconds. An interference penalty to Horcoff canceled that and put the teams in a lengthy 4-on-4 situation.
The Oilers did not generate a single shot since Eberle's goal at 8:47. As a result, the club skated into the intermission trailing 4-2. Calgary continued to dominate the shot clock with a 26-14 advantage overall.
With the Oilers still searching for that elusive shot since Eberle's second-period tally, the Flames almost extended to a 5-2 lead. With both defenceman well out of position, Blair Jones had what appeared to be a tap-in. Dubnyk, however, made a sensational stop to give his team a chance down the stretch.
Stempniak nearly did the same with Eric Belanger draped all over him, but Dubnyk again was solid in denying the chance. Belanger was also assessed a penalty on the play. With 36 seconds remaining in the Flames power-play, Iginla was called for hooking. Both penalties were killed by the respective teams.
The Oilers eventually recorded their 15th shot, but it took well over a period to get it.
Edmonton pulled Dubnyk for an extra-attacker with 1:45 to play, but it mattered little. Gagner scored with 0.3 to play, but it wasn't enough as the Oilers lost 4-3.

A mother shot two teenage children and her longtime boyfriend at a home Monday morning before killing herself, Greensboro police said. Her 14-year-old son died of his injuries.
Maurice Edmonds II, 14, and Sandra Palmer, 47, died in the incident, which was reported around 7:55 a.m. at 307 Mourning Dove Terrace off Airport Center Drive.
Maurice Eugene Edmonds, 46, is in stable condition at Moses Cone Hospital. Edmonds was Palmer's longtime boyfriend and the father of Edmonds II.
Palmer's daughter, Danielle Imani Jameison, 18, is also in stable condition at Moses Cone.
The shooting stemmed from a family dispute, the circumstances of which aren't yet clear, police said.
The elder Edmonds tried to get control of the handgun but ended up being shot as well, police said. Edmonds fled the home to seek help, and Palmer went to another room to shoot and kill herself, police said.
Jameison was found shot inside the home, while the elder Edmonds was found lying on the sidewalk in front of a home down the street, police said.
Edmonds II attended Northwest Guilford Middle School. He played basketball and football at the school, and the basketball team voted to continue with Thursday night's game.
The game has been moved to the high school gymnasium due to an expected large crowd to honor Edmonds II. Admission is also free.
Jameison is a graduate of Reynolds High School and is currently a sophomore psychology major at UNC-Chapel Hill. She was voted "most intelligent" by her senior classmates at Reynolds.
Monday's incident was the first time that officers had been called to the home, police said.

OAKLAND -- In hopes of having as normal a holiday celebration as possible, the entire family of Jahi McMath spent Christmas Day in the waiting room together at Children's Hospital Oakland.
About 15 family members had gathered by Wednesday afternoon, and a tree had been put together, said Omari Sealey, the uncle of 13-year-old Jahi, who suffered cardiac arrest and other complications after a Dec. 9 tonsil surgery that left her brain-dead. She has been on a ventilator since Dec. 12.
There were presents under the tree for Jahi and her siblings, and the family planned to carry on with some of its holiday traditions such as board games, dominoes and playing cards, Sealey said.
"We're trying to make it as normal as possible," he said.
Christopher Dolan, the family's attorney visited Wednesday, saying the family played the game Taboo and sang Christmas carols to Jahi.
"It really was quite touching. They really are a lovely family," he said.
The family has received offers for assistance from around the country, including as far as New York, to move Jahi out of Children's Hospital and assist with her care, Dolan said.
However, the family would have to weigh how much it cost to travel with her and if the support will materialize, he said.
"A lot of them are regular folks with jobs that they have already taken close to a month off," Dolan said. "There's a lot for them to figure out."
Sealey said the family will wait until later in the week to discuss whether to appeal an Alameda County Superior Court judge's decision this week allowing Children's Hospital to remove Jahi from life support as soon as Monday.
Christopher Dolan, the family's attorney, said Wednesday that
Judge Evelio Grillo ruled that Jahi must be kept on the breathing machine until at least 5 p.m. Dec. 30. The verdict came after hearing testimony from two doctors, one an independent expert appointed by the judge on Monday and the other a 30-year veteran of the hospital. Both testified that the teen is brain-dead and that her body is alive only because of a ventilator hooked up to her since Dec. 12.
The family has continued to ask for prayers for Jahi. Local pastors and churchgoers from around the world have rallied around the family both in person and by offering support through social media.

The Minnesota Opera plans the world premiere of "Doubt" next month.
Composer Douglas J. Cuomo and librettist John Patrick Shanley created the opera based on Shanley's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play.
The Roman Catholic drama focuses on a test of wills between a nun who suspects a priest of abusing a student at a Bronx school in the 1960s.
Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams starred in a film version adapted by Shanley from his play in 2008.
Grammy-winning soprano Christine Brewer makes her Minnesota Opera debut as the school principal. American baritone Matthew Worth sings the role of the priest, and mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves creates the role of the student's mother.
"Doubt" premieres at the Ordway in St. Paul on Jan. 26.

A stakeout results in two arrests, and now police think they may have solved a few recent armed robberies. With pictures you'll see only on 12, we'll show you how deputies admit they needed a little bit of luck to pull this one off.
Another robbery, another stakeout. But this time the two merged to end in arrests, as deputies caught two people in the act of robbing this Papa John's Pizza store.
"Based on the influx of robberies that we have been having in the Augusta area, we have been setting up some aggressive patrols, some stakeouts in certain areas based on the location of the robberies," said Sgt. Richard Roundtree.
And so recently they've beefed up patrols on Walton Way, near the hospital complex. And they went into action around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday night. That's when officers saw two people they deemed suspicious.
"At that point, surveillance was maintained on those subjects to see if they were up to some type of criminal activity. They were observed by officers actually displaying the weapons, a robbery in progress," Roundtree said.
Deputies let the two, including at least one minor, leave the store, where they were arrested almost immediately.
"We're sending this message out to the public and criminals. We have aggressively stepped up our patrol to decrease the number of armed robberies in the city," Roundtree said.
Sgt. Roundtree admits they were extremely lucky, just when luck for the robbers ran out.
Sgt. Roundtree also says that they are looking into whether the two arrested last night are connected to other recent robberies in the area. They did not release their names because they are minors.

The Richmond County Sheriff's Office is already hurting from a deputy shortage, and things could get worse if the city administrator's plan to cut 25 officers goes through.
The sheriff meets with commissioners tomorrow to argue his case. Today, he spoke with News 12.
The sheriff's office is one of the largest city departments, but the sheriff says that doesn't mean they can afford to be cut again.
In fact, tomorrow, he'll ask for even more funding.
"We're strapped," Sheriff Ronnie Strength told News 12. "We can't keep our heads above water. "
Sheriff Strength plans to not only ask that his department be spared from the cuts, but also for funding for additional officers.
"I don't think I have to do a lot of talking," he said. "I think our commissioners are aware of what's going on as much as crime."
But the city administrator's proposal as it stands calls for cutting 25 officers and half a million dollars from the sheriff's total operating budget.
"You need more police on the street patrolling the area," says south Augusta resident Virginia Turnbull. "I was out in South Augusta, which is a very bad area now, and I saw one police."
News 12 saw eleven empty patrol cars in the parking lot, but there are three times that number of officers already off of the streets in Richmond County, due to budget cuts back in 1997. The sheriff says he can't afford that type of cut again.
And with a department already 34 deputies short --6 investigators and 25 jailers--more cuts could mean more trouble.
"We've got more folks in jail with less jailers guarding them, therefore we have more inmate fights in the jail, we have more fights involving officers and inmates," Sheriff Strength said.
The sheriff says if there is anything that can be cut, it will be some of the training.
While the sheriff does plan to ask for more officers tomorrow, he says he knows he may have trouble filling the positions because of the low pay.
This time last year, Sheriff Strength was faced with the same thing, and managed to get his deputies a raise.
Richmond County deputies got an eight percent pay increase around the beginning of November last year.
Commissioners were responding to the deputy shortage.
But then commissioners gave the same eight percent raise to firefighters, and then to all 2700 city employees.
That extra expense has contributed in part to the city's budget shortfall.

Application launcher and much more.
Quicksilver is a unified, extensible interface for working with applications, contacts, music, and other data.
Anyone using a computer (and the Macintosh is no exception) spends a lot of time locating files and applications, and then carrying out actions on those items. The Finder is a reasonably good tool for getting a visual overview of the contents of your disk, but it isn't ideal for quickly locating and manipulating files, especially if you have a deep and complicated folder structure, or if you prefer keyboard navigation to using the mouse.
Quicksilver allows you to find what you need quickly and easily, while keeping your hands on the keyboard. For example, if you want to launch an application hidden in the depths of your file system, simply activate Quicksilver with a keystroke, type a few letters of the application's name, then hit Return or Enter to launch it. When you don't need Quicksilver, it keeps out of your way, preserving precious screen real estate, and yet you can summon it instantly with a key stroke - just like Mercury the winged messenger. Actually, Roman mythological texts are remarkably silent on whether Mercury could be summoned with a key stroke, but it would have been great if he could. Quicksilver will certainly make you feel as if you have god-like powers.

Anyone know what happened to blacktree.com? Reinstalled Quicksilver but have no plugins and no updates. Seems the server has been down for the past few days.
This is what spotlight should have been!! The best demonstration of the power of OSX!!!
Note: when installing it says that the beta will stop working after 6 months. I haven't had the time to search to know what it will become then, does anyone know?
B52 is a dev release. You can enable prerelease candidates in the version checking in the app if you turn on advanced features, and you can also download the latest dev release with http://www.getqs.com/dev. That said, it is a dev release, so download at your own risk.
Here's a link for Ã52: http://blacktree.meadgroup.com/quicksilver/application/QS.3808.dmg
Couldn't imagine my Mac without it. Awesome.
I'm far from a hardcore QS user but for launching apps and opening files/folders it's fantastico.
Can't remember the last time I touched my dock! (that's not a typo ;) )
WINDOWS USERS - For those like me who have to use Windows at work I found Colibri is a nice little app.
Looks as if there is a new dev version out, β52, the auto-update fails to load the correct version though, but hopefully soon we'll get the new build (which I think fixes some of the more serious crashers; see the forum for more).
Quicksilver is incredibly powerful. It's become such a unconscious part of my computer use that I find myself hitting Option + Space (QS keys) even when I'm on a PC.
@tafkas . Didn't you say the exact same thing in the TextMate comments?
See: http://osx.iusethis.com/app/textmate
I still haven't learned to use this creatively. On one of my user profiles it silent-quits pretty regularly, so there must be a conflict with the graphics apps I run there.
But, when I'm in the Windows world, I sure miss QS.

Louie G
Hi everyone! I'm Louie G. I am on Wild 104 weekdays from 5:30 til 10 A.M. I am 5'7", an aquarius and enjoy long walks on the beach.....if, of course, the beach is lined with Pizza restaurants! When I am not on the air you can find me with your girlfriend eating Chinese food! Just kidding....I am not a big fan of Chinese food! Seriously though, I grew up in Johnson City and love the area! I also play the trumpet...not well...but I love to play it! If I was stuck on a deserted island and could have three things, I would have to have pizza, Punky Brewster (the grown up one) and Jello! Sorry to my wife!

Turn your child into her favorite darling duckling! PJs, foam, and felt will make this creative costume take flight!
Find the Wonder Pets! on Nick Jr.
To make Ming-Ming's aviator hat and goggles, cut the two layers of the brown knit cap apart and separate them. Cut aviator-style flaps from one layer and sew them to the other layer. Attach the goggles to the hat by sewing them on or using hook-and-loop (Velcro®) fastener tape. Sew the cap to the fleece hood.
Use the green fabric and felt to make a Wonder Pets Cape for Ming-Ming.
To make webbed feet and a beak, print the Ming-Ming Costume Template and cut out the shapes. Use the foot shape as a template to cut two duck feet from orange felt. Tack or glue ridges in between the webbed feet, as shown on the template, to add texture and form. Sew the elastic to the back ends of the webbed foot. (The elastic goes around your child's heel and the webbed feet simply rest on top of your child's regular shoes.)
Use the beak template to cut out Ming-Ming's beak from the pink craft foam. You may want to trim the beak to a smaller size for younger children. Punch holes and attach the elastic. (The elastic will go around your child's head to keep the beak in place.) Tip: Reinforce the beak by gluing an extra piece of foam where you will punch the holes.
As a finishing touch, give Ming-Ming a stalk of celery! To make a non-perishable version, we covered a paper towel roll with craft glue and green tissue and crepe paper, gluing more tissue and crepe paper to one end to make leaves.

Unitizing best practices
Economic and eco-friendly, strapping unitizes a load with a minimal amount of materials. Once these cans are delivered to a beverage manufacturer, the straps are removed, put into a chopper and sold to a recycler.
You've heard it before: In this challenging economy it's more important than ever to do more with less and scrutinize every aspect of your operation for efficiency and savings. An end-of-the-line function, like unitizing, is just the beginning when it comes to creating the perfect load for handling, shipping and storing product—but it's also an excellent place to look for multiple benefits.
"Unitizing deserves more attention that what it often receives," says Tony Barr, vice president of Beumer Corp. (732-560-8222). "The right method can significantly reduce the rate of return products caused by shipping damages, reduce the labor cost associated with material handling and reduce the overall cost of packaging while increasing output," Barr adds.
According to Jason Bennett, director of sales and marketing for vonGal (334-261-2700), unitizing is the unsung hero of materials handling. "Unitizing is an underutilized way to squeeze savings out of the materials handling process," says Bennett. "It helps answer the call for lowering operating costs while focusing on the bigger picture of decreasing our carbon footprint and lowering our impact on the environment."

A 28-year-old Ridgecrest man, Ronald Edgar Decker, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Kern County Superior Court Ridgecrest Branch to a single count of arson. A pre-preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 19.
Ridgecrest Police officers arrested him Tuesday in connection with a vehicle fire in the early morning hours in the 400 block of South China Lake Boulevard.
According to an RPD press release, officers Tom Dilley and Aaron Tucker were dispatched to the location shortly before 3 a.m. Tuesday regarding a vehicle on fire.
When officers arrived on scene, they reportedly observed a green vehicle engulfed in flames. The vehicle was parked in a stall directly in front of the motel, which caused officers to evacuate all the motel tenants for their safety.
During the investigation, officers reportedly viewed video surveillance at the motel and were able to identify Decker as the subject who started the fire. Tucker obtained an arrest warrant for Decker, who was arrested later that day by RPD detectives.
Decker remains in custody in lieu of $100,000 bail.

This, Jen, is the Internet
By Vipul Gupta on Mar 25, 2009
If you are a fan of the British sitcom The IT Crowd, you probably recognize the reference (if not, check out this hilarious video clip at YouTube).
Well ... the "Internet in a box" is a joke no more. The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has been collecting "snapshots" of the web since 1996, allowing visitors to freely access archived versions of Web pages across time. Now, the entire archive is housed in a Sun Modular Datacenter shown on the left. Admittedly, it is somewhat bigger than the box Jen was introduced to but it's pretty cool to think this two petabyte archive (growing at over a petabyte per year) still fits inside a box.
Want to see what Yahoo! looked like in 1996? Simply enter http://www.yahoo.com in the search box and hit the "Take Me Back" button.
Here is a press release with additional information and the announcement from Brewster Kahle, Co-Founder of Internet Archive.

The Kern County Sheriff's Office Ridgecrest Substation has a new senior deputy.
Senior Deputy Ed O'Brien comes to the local substation from the sheriff's Metro Patrol Division. He is a seven-year law-enforcement veteran and was promoted to his current rank in January.
He replaced Senior Deputy Mike Boyd, who was transferred to the Detective Division.
"Prior to that, I worked at the North County Substation in Buttonwillow," he said.
During his seven years with the Sheriff's Department, he has also served as a field training officer, recruit training officer and is a member of the Sheriff's Honor Guard.
O'Brien came to the Ridgecrest substation in February.
"It was a promotional transfer," he said.
He said he loves working in the Ridgecrest area.
"I really enjoy it. I like the pace of the substation," said O'Brien. "It gives me the opportunity to be a more well-rounded deputy. I really like working with the guys out here. They're a tight-knit group of guys. It's a great team to be a part of."
He said he is still trying to wrap his head around the size and the diversity of the substation's patrol area.
"What I like most is the team that's out here," he said. "Most of the deputies assigned here live here."
O'Brien said he will be at the local substation for the foreseeable future.
"I have no plans to go anywhere," he said.
He is also a 20-year military veteran. He served in the Air Force for eight years while on active duty and 12 years in the Californian Air National Guard. He also served in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"In 1991 and '92, I was deployed to the Gulf War in Saudi Arabia," O'Brien said.
Away from the job, he likes to spend time with his family. He and his wife have two children, a boy and a girl.

(i) Historical Background
1. With the German invasion of Poland and the beginning of the Second World War on 1 September 1939, Nazi policy against the Jews became markedly more radical. Millions of Jews in Poland came under the rule of the 'Third Reich'. Probably around 7,000 of them were killed until the end of 1939. The freedom of movement of the Polish Jews was restricted, as more and more were forced into ghettos set up by the Nazis. The living conditions in the ghettos deteriorated rapidly. Cut off from the outside, the local Nazi officials in charge of the day-to-day running and supplying of the overcrowded ghettos failed to provide sufficient food, heating materials and other vital resources. In May 1941, more than 3,800 Jews died in the Warsaw ghetto alone. German Jews in the first years of the war were also deprived of most of the few rights they still had left: curfews were imposed, their food supplies were restricted and their radios were confiscated. However, the aim of Nazi policy at this time concerning the Jews remained emigration, or forced deportation. Thus, in early summer 1940, after the defeat of France, the Nazi leadership seriously discussed the transportation of all European Jews to French island of Madagascar.1
2. The invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 marks a further watershed in Nazi policies towards the Jews. The mass murder of Soviet citizens in general, and Jews in particular, had been decided upon before the invasion. On 19 May 1941, the German army was given the order that the fight against the Soviet Union 'requires ruthless and energetic action against Bolshevik agitators, guerillas, saboteurs, and Jews, and the total elimination of all active and passive resistance'.2 Also, four task forces (Einsatzgruppe A, B, C, D) were set up and immediately after the invasion began killing Soviet Jews. Soon, these task-forces were committing mass murder without regard to age or sex. By 15 October 1941, Einsatzgruppe A, which operated in the Baltic states, reported to have executed a total of 118,430 Jews.3 The leader of Einsatzkommando 2, one of the four units making up Einsatzgruppe A, wrote in January 1942: 'The aim which Einsatzkommando 2 held up to itself from the beginning onwards was a radical solution of the Jewish problem by the execution of all Jews'.4 Reports submitted by the task force leaders to Berlin detailed shootings of Jews on a huge scale.
3. As a consequence, the Nazi leaders began to rethink their policy towards German Jews. Emigration abroad was finally forbidden on 23 October 1941. On 1 October 1941, there were still about 164,000 Jews left living in Germany. From 15 September 1941 onwards, they had been forced to wear the yellow star of David on their clothes, to make them immediately identifiable, a measure which according to the Goebbels diaries had been endorsed by Hitler personally.5 It is in this context that regional Nazi leaders stepped up their efforts to make their regions 'judenfrei' (free of Jews) by deporting Jews to Nazi-controlled territories in the East. The approval apparently came from Hitler himself.
4. On 18 September 1941, Heinrich Himmler informed Arthur Greiser, the Gauleiter of the Warthegau, that the 'Führer wishes that the Old Reich and the protectorate be emptied and freed of Jews from west to east as quickly as possible'. Himmler intended to transport Jews first to the incorporated territories (former parts of Poland), in particular to the Lodz ghetto in the Warthegau. But other destinations further to the east were also decided upon in this period. In particular, the Nazi leadership selected destinations in the so-called Reichskommisariat Ostland, the German-occupied territory which included the Baltic states and parts of 'White Russia', as destinations for Western Jews. On 10 October 1941, Himmler's deputy Reinhard Heydrich announced in Prague that Riga and Minsk were earmarked as destinations for deportations.
5. Similar information was passed on by other Nazi officials at this time. On 11 October 1941, Franz Stahlecker, the commander of Einsatzgruppe A, informed the General Commissioner of Latvia, Otto Drechsler, that a large concentration camp for Jews from the German Reich and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was to be set up near Riga 'at the Führer's wish'.6 Soon the deportations of Jews from the West were under way. From 15 October 1941, about 20,000 Jews were transported from the German Reich to the Lodz ghetto in Nazi-occupied Poland. In November and December 1941, several tens of thousands of Jews were transported East, this time to Nazi-occupied parts of the USSR (e.g. Riga and Minsk).7 While the Jews transported to Lodz and Minsk were initially allowed to live, some Jews on the other transports, for example to Kovno and Riga, were executed by the SS immediately on arrival.8
6. The propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels played an important role in 1941 in accelerating the deportation of Jews living in Berlin. Goebbels, since 1926 Gauleiter of Berlin (in charge of the regional party), pressed ahead with the aim to make his territory 'free of Jews', in particular he claimed because of the symbolic status of Berlin as the capital of Germany. As he stated in his diary on 20 August 1941: 'Berlin must become a city free of Jews. It is infuriating and a scandal that 76,000 Jews can still loiter around in the capital of the German Reich, mostly as parasites'.9 The plan to deport Jews from Berlin had already been discussed at Hitler's lunch table in March 1941, if not earlier.10 In October 1941, this plan became reality, when the first Berlin Jews were transported to the Lodz ghetto.
7. Between 18 October 1941 and 1 November 1941, a total of over 4,000 Berlin Jews were taken to Lodz. In November, the transports to the former Soviet territory began. On 17 November 1941, a transport consisting of 942 Berlin Jews departed for Kovno. On 25 November 1941 2,934 Jews deported from Berlin, as well as Munich and Frankfurt, were shot in Kovno by the Einsatzkommando 3 of the Einsatzgruppe A. On 27 November 1941, another transport left Berlin, this time for Riga, with 1,000 Jews on board the train.11 They arrived on the night of 29-30 November 1941, a few hours before the execution of the Jews living in the Riga ghetto began. This massacre was supervised by Friedrich Jeckeln, who had recently been appointed by Himmler as the Chief of the SS and police in the region (Höhere SS- und Polizeiführer Russland-Nord und Ostland). Before this appointment, Jeckeln had served as Chief of the SS and police in the southern areas of the occupied Soviet territory. In this capacity, he had already organized and participated in various large-scale massacres against Jews in the late summer and autumn of 1941. Jeckeln ordered the shooting of 23,600 Jews in Kamenets-Podolsk and sent two commandos of Police Regiment South to assist Sonderkommando 4a, part of Einsatzgruppe C, in the killing of 33,000 Jews in Kiev in late September 1941. Another of his units executed at least 10,000 Jews on 13 October 1941 in Dniepropetrovsk, and in early November 1941 Jeckeln ordered the murder of some 15,000 Jews in Rovno.12 Himmler officially commended Jeckeln on 31 October 1941: 'I express to you my heartfelt thanks and my most particular recognition for your outstanding activity'.13
8. After his arrival in Riga, Jeckeln ordered the extermination of the inhabitants of the ghetto. The killing started on 30 November 1941, a few miles outside Riga. According to a report compiled by the Reich Security Head Office (RSHA), a total of 10,600 Jews were shot in Riga on 30 November 1941, including the Jews who had just arrived on the transport from Berlin. A similar massacre took place on 8 December 1941. In total, according to statistics provided by Einsatzgruppe A, around 27,800 Jews were killed in Riga in these acts of mass murder. According to another RSHA report, only 2,600 Jews survived these two massacres in Riga.14
9. The Jews transported to Riga from Berlin were the first to be killed on the morning of 30 November 1941.15 A German court described in detail in 1973 how the Jews from Berlin and Riga were murdered. They had to strip to their underwear and walk in groups of ten towards ditches which had been prepared for their bodies.
In the ditches, the Jews had to lie down next to one another with their faces downturned. They were killed at close range...by being shot in the back of the neck by Russian machine pistols which had been set to fire individual shots. The victims who came after them had to use the space available and...lie on top of those who had just been shot. The old, children,, and those who had difficulty in walking, were led to the ditches by the stronger Jews, placed by them on top of the corpses, and shot by the marksmen who were standing on the dead in the big ditch. In this way the ditches gradually filled up.16

(ii) Irving's suppression of two key documents.
1. The sources Irving cites in Hitler's War concerning the deportation of the Roman Jews are the following: (1) Nuremberg Document, NG-5027, telegram from Consul Eitel Friedrich Moellhausen, 6 October, 1943; (2) Hitler's negation of the SS order in Franz von Sonnleithner's teletype dated October 9, 1943. (3) T175/53/7133, the SS report on the roundup of Rome's Jews, 17 October, 1943.7 In his submissions to the court in the present case, Irving has cited the first two of the above and an additional document relaying the content of Sonnleithner's teletype to Rome. All three documents provided are separate leaves from NG-5027 (i.e. a document used by the Nuremberg Court in their prosecutions).
2. All three are telegrams. The first, as we have seen, is from Consul Eitel Moellhausen in Rome to Ribbentrop, dated 6 October 1943.8 The second document listed above is from Foreign Ministry official von Sonnleithner asking that Consuls Dr. Rudolf Rahn and Moellhausen be informed of Hitler's and Ribbentrop's orders to deport the Jews of Rome, dated 9 October 1943, addressed from Westphalia.9 The other document cited by Irving in his submission to the court, but not mentioned in his account in Hitler's War, and therefore referred to here as document number (4), is also dated 9 October 1943 and is a message from the Foreign Ministry in Berlin to the same effect, but addressed only to Consul Moellhausen.10
3. These three documents (1), (2) and (4) read together could lead one to believe that Hitler had intervened to the advantage of Rome's Jews, as is no doubt Irving's intention. As we shall see, however, this belief would be mistaken.
4. The background circumstances are as follows. On 12 September 1943 the German police attaché in Rome, Kappler, received a telephone call from Rastenberg [Hitler's field headquarters in East Prussia, also known as the Wolfschanze - Wolf's Lair] informing him that Himmler wanted him to proceed with the round-up and deportation of the Roman Jews.11 This telephone call was followed by a secret cable:
Recent Italian events impose an immediate solution to the Jewish problem in the territories recently occupied by the armed forces of the Reich. The Reichsführer SS therefore requests Obersturmbannführer Kappler to take without delay all preliminary measures necessary to ensure the swiftness and secrecy of the operation to be carried out in the territory of the city of Rome. Immediate orders will follow.12
5. On 24 September Himmler's office in Berlin sent a second secret cable calling for the 'final solution' to the Jewish problem in Rome. All Jews were to be arrested and sent to the Reich 'for liquidation'.
6. The cable did not set a date for the operation, but continued:
It is known that this nucleus of Jews has actively collaborated with the Badoglio movement, and therefore its speedy removal will represent, among other things, a necessary security measure guaranteeing the indispensable tranquillity in the immediate rear of the Southern front. The success of this undertaking is to be ensured by means of a surprise action, and for this reason it is absolutely necessary to suspend the application of any anti-Jewish measures in the nature of individual acts in order not to arouse any suspicions amongst the population of the imminent Jewish action [Judenaktion].13
7. On 25 September the RSHA sent a circular to all its branches at home and abroad, announcing that 'in agreement with the Foreign Office' all Jews of listed nationalities could now be included in the deportation measures. Italy headed the list.14
8. Although it was marked 'confidential' and 'personal' the military commandant of Rome, Stahel, read the cable from Himmler and contacted Consul Moellhausen. By chance Moellhausen had become the chief representative of the Reich in German-occupied Rome when his superior, ambassador Dr. Rudolf Rahn, had been injured in a car accident the day before.
9. It would seem that both Moellhausen and Stahel agreed that the action was a mistake. Regardless of their motivations, Moellhausen in turn agreed to take the matter up with Kappler, and proceeded to do so on 26 September. Moellhausen drew Kappler's attention to Tunisia, where in 1942 the Jews had been saved by drawing them into forced labour on fortification work. Both Rahn and the current military commander of southern Italy General Field Marshal Kesselring had been involved.15 Moellhausen and Kappler then called on Kesselring, who told them that he would be unable to spare any soldiers for the action, and that if Berlin considered it necessary to do something about the Jews within his jurisdiction, he would approve using Jewish labour for fortification work around Rome.16
10. At the beginning of October SS Hauptsturmführer Theodor Dannecker of Section IV-B-4 of the RSHA arrived in Rome at the head of a mobile Einsatzstab [task staff, i.e. execution team].17 Dannecker had already played a prominent part in the deportation of Jews from France and Belgium. He had with him an authorisation from Gestapo Chief Heinrich Müller ordering the local police chief to furnish all necessary assistance.18 It was in this context that Moellhausen sent his cable of 6 October (document 1, above, cited by Irving both in Hitler's War and in his submission to the court). It was marked 'very very urgent' [Supercitisssime] and addressed to the Reich Foreign Minister personally.
11. This cable, Telegram 192, read in full:
Obersturmbannführer Kappler has received orders to arrest the eight thousand Jews resident in Rome and bring them to Upper Italy, where they are to be liquidated. The City Commandant of Rome, General Stahel, informs me that he will permit this action only if it corresponds to the intention of the Herr Reich Foreign Minister. I am personally of the opinion that it would be better business to employ the Jews for fortification work, as in Tunis, and, together with Kappler, I will propose this to Field Marshal Kesselring. Please advise Moellhausen.19
12. Consul Moellhausen followed this with a second dispatch on 7 October, again marked 'very very urgent' [Supercitisssime] and to 'the Reich Minister personally'. It was numbered 201 and headed 'in connection with telegram of 6th, no. 192+' [Im Anschluß an Telegramm vom 6. Nr. 192+] Irving completely omits this document from his account, although the Foreign Ministry's reply, document number 98 as submitted by Irving, clearly reads 'in response to no. 201 of 7.10 ' [Auf Nr. 201 vom 7.10.]. Telegram 201 read as follows:
Field Marshal Kesselring has asked Obersturmbannführer Kappler to postpone the planned Judenaktion for the time being. But if something has to be done, he would prefer to use the able-bodied Jews of Rome for fortification work here.20
13. This is the complete documentary background to Hitler's order [Führerbefehl] as passed on to Rome by Eberhard von Thadden of the Foreign Ministry.
14. On 9 October, Moellhausen received an answer to telegram 201 addressed explicitly to him and marked 'very urgent'. This is the additional document, listed above as number (4), submitted by Irving to the court. It reads:
On the basis of the Führer's instructions, the 8,000 Jews resident in Rome are to be taken to Mauthausen as hostages. The Herr R(eich) F(oreign) M(inister) asks you not to interfere in any way in this affair, but to leave it to the SS. Please inform Ambassador Rahn Thadden.21
15.This in turn was a response to a message of earlier in the day from Dr. Franz von Sonnleithner to the Office of the Foreign Ministry asking them to relay the following message from Ribbentrop to Rahn and Moellhausen. This is the document referred to above as number (2) and also cited by Irving, indeed the key document in his whole account. It reads as follows:
The Reich Foreign Minister requests that consuls Rahn and Moellhausen be informed that, on the basis of a Führer instruction, the 8,000 Jews resident in Rome should be taken to Mauthausen (Upper-Danube) as hostages. The Reich Foreign Minister requests that Rahn and Moellhausen be told under no circumstances to interfere in this affair, but rather to leave it to the SS. Sonnleithner.22
16. But Irving then omits a vital document from his account. A few hours later a second, unequivocal message was sent to Rome from the same source:
The Herr Reich Minister of Foreign Affairs insists that you keep out of all questions concerning Jews. Such questions, in accordance with an agreement between the Foreign Ministry and the Reich Security Head Office, are within the exclusive competence of the SS, and any further interference in these questions could cause serious difficulties for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.23
17. Nowhere does Irving even mention the existence of this document, let alone cite or refer to its contents.

HAGERSTOWN — Hagerstown City Police are investigating the drowning death of a 7-year-old boy Thursday evening.

In response to your online article (Nov. 15, 2007) on the dispute over keeping Cat Hollow Road open, it was good to see that the majority of the magistrates voted for the good of Kentucky and the area.
My ancestors are from that area and I've studied the maps. It is my hope to one day own property back there and build a home. Magistrates do well to consider the future of an area and not just a whim of one or two folks.

SAN JOSE -- Joe Pavelski led the Sharks in scoring all season, so it should not be a shock that he's doing the same in San Jose's playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings.
Only two players in the NHL had more goals this season than the 41 racked up by Pavelski, the 29-year-old forward who is having a career year that featured his first three hat tricks. The one Sharks teammate who might be the least surprised by that accomplishment is his longtime friend, Adam Burish.
Burish also was Pavelski's linemate on Wisconsin's NCAA-title team in 2006, and the two join other Badger alums in Madison each summer to get into shape before training camp.
"He may tell you differently," Burish said, "but this summer he worked on scoring stuff a lot, a lot of tip stuff. It was all around the net stuff. And he was bouncing tennis balls and batting them against the wall. His hand-eye is incredible. He was just focused on finding ways to score."
Pavelski, whose previous high was 31 goals in 2011-12, offered a more general explanation for this year's success before the playoffs began.
"I think it's just the whole process of this being the eighth year and trying to get a little better each time, learning as you go, and playing with confidence and good players," he said.
Still, the currently injured Burish's look behind the scenes does mesh with coach Todd McLellan's assessment of what might be different in Pavelski's game.
"He's been really good around the net," McLellan said late in the regular season. "Not that he hasn't been in the past, but he's had a lot of his secondary chances, the tips, the deflections."
Pavelski's only playoff goal to go along with three assists wasn't one of the above, as he capped a three-on-none rush in the third period of Sunday's 7-2 rout that gave the Sharks at 2-0 series lead. But the fact that it came in a third-line role highlighted the big question facing McLellan in Game 3 of the series Tuesday night at the Staples Center and beyond:
Where do you slot Pavelski?
Keep him as a top-line left wing, where he scored the bulk of his 41 goals and 79 points alongside Joe Thornton and Brent Burns? Or move him down to third-line center and give San Jose the scoring depth that poses big problems for any NHL team?
"Pav's probably best spot is in the center ice position," McLellan said after Game 2. "I still believe that, but he scores 41 on the wing with Jumbo and Burnzie. It's hard to break that up."
Still, McLellan continued Sunday, it's all about giving the team its best chance to win.
"What was right for the team tonight was Pav playing in that three hole for a couple periods, and guess what? He got rewarded," the coach said. "When we get to L.A., he could very well be back up on that wing, and away we go."
McLellan has wrestled with the question since Dec. 19, when rookie Tomas Hertl suffered a knee injury in a game against the Kings. Hertl had been skating on the Thornton line, and Pavelski became the best fit as a replacement after others fell short.
Pavelski understandably has grown tired of fielding questions about what position he prefers and diplomatically points out he'll be working hard in either spot. Late in the season he acknowledged the benefits of developing chemistry with Thornton and Burns, but he also can spell out the benefits of moving to the third line.
"You get excited. You get new linemates there. You want to play good for them, too," he said Monday. "You want to try to create something."
Analysts might say that playing alongside Thornton -- one of the NHL's premier passers -- would turn anybody into an elite goal scorer, but the Sharks captain disagrees.
"No, that's not the case," he said. "He's a pretty good player out there. He's just very, very competitive. He never gives up on plays. He always seems to be around the puck."
The Sharks selected Pavelski in the seventh round of the 2003 draft when he was still in the USHL. His first NHL game and goal came Thanksgiving Day 2006, and his steady improvement since then earned him a five-year, $30 million contract extension last July.
His versatility also has helped make him a two-time Olympian for Team USA, and that same characteristic makes it a smooth transition for his teammates when Pavelski changes roles midgame.
"Joe's as positionally sound as any guy in the league," said Tommy Wingels, who had an assist on Pavelski's goal. "I know where he is, and he knows where I am. Joe's hockey instincts are as great as anyone in the league."
From McLellan's perspective, those instincts are still being honed in practice.
"He continues to work on tiny little pieces of his game," the coach said. "He picks pucks up in certain areas and does something with it, then all of a sudden you see it in the game, and you know that he's worked on that."
