PORTSMOUTH MAYOR SHOULD WORK WITH STATE OF KENTUCKY TO
BRING JOBS TO SCIOTO COUNTY!
PLUS, CITIZENS SHOULD HELP MOLLETTES PAY THEIR ATTORNEY
FEES! By Doug Deepe
November 23, 2008
Friday
evening I received a telephone call from Portsmouth Mayor Jim Kalb
asking me about a document request I gave him last week. Once we had that settled
Mayor Kalb and I began discussing possible means of getting
Portsmouth up and running again. I gave Mayor Kalb one
suggestion that nobody has ever thought about and I would like to
share it with the Sentinel readers right now.
Now,
before I go any further, I know many people in Scioto County are
against gambling. I for
one don’t understand why if it is properly controlled. Anyone that has visited
Argosy Casino in Indiana will tell you that there was no problem
with prostitution, thefts, etc. In fact, crime dropped. With that being said I hope
some of you will listen to this idea and give it some thought.
Ohio law
makers will fight against gambling because of the laws governing
states that allow gambling casinos are required by federal law to
allow recognized Indian Tribes to open up casinos too. Well if the figureheads in
Portsmouth would work together you can have it both ways. The state of Kentucky has
legalized horse racing, off track betting that includes dog races
and other forms of gambling. Why not gather a group
of concerned citizens (not the SOGP gang members) but a group of
people that truly want change, to go to Frankfort Kentucky with the
following offer.
Ask the
Kentucky State Governor to bring forth a bill to seek a gambling
boat to be maintained and operated in the South Shore, Kentucky
area. It is clear that
with the landscape on that side of the river that it will be very
hard to build large hotels, motels, and/or convention centers. That part of the deal
will involve the help of Portsmouth which would also take it out of
the hands of the SOGP gang that has misused hundreds of millions of
dollars to line their own pockets with federal money.
With this
deal Kentucky and Portsmouth officials would work together to put
the gambling operation on the Kentucky side and make the convention
center on the Ohio side a real possibility. But one thing has to be
included in the bill for riverboat gambling.
Nobody under the age
of 22 should be allowed to use that facility to prevent Shawnee
State University students from going over and gambling instead of
studying and getting their education. Stop and think about
this. Gambling casinos
pay big wages for people that can operate computers. They also need security,
dealers, cashiers, etc.
If such a bill could be passed and a plan like this put into
effect can you imagine what it could do for the unemployment problem
in Scioto County?
Also, Kentucky has a vested interest because of the loss of
jobs at the steel mill in Ashland. Many of those workers live
in the Greenup County area.
Such a
program would generate the revenue needed to build a new city
building, city justice center, all without putting the debt on the
taxpayers. Kentucky
gets the gambling revenue, Portsmouth gets the hotel/motel services
and who knows, there will be many jobs created in the computer
programming side in all of the areas mentioned. Why not try to bring a
new silicon valley to Portsmouth.
The time
has come for “positive ideas”.
I would like to end this by asking the people of Portsmouth
to think about one thing that happened back in 2004. Bob and Teresa Mollette
started coming to Portsmouth City Council Meetings asking questions
about why things were being done in secret. If it were not for the
Mollettes the citizens of Portsmouth would have already been paying
higher property taxes.
I discussed this with Mayor Kalb. The people of Portsmouth owe
the Mollettes a debt of gratitude for spending their money to bring
light to the darkness that has led to the stagnation of a once proud
town. I saw Councilman
Mearan give a citizen a $50.00 dinner for two for losing a bet on
who would win the last election on the town center issue. Maybe Councilman
Mearan and/or Mayor Kalb would offer out their hand to the Mollettes
instead of making the mistake of gloating over their so called win,
only because of a technicality. That’s not a win, it’s a
disgrace and I for one believe that if the Mollettes would appeal to
the Ohio Supreme Court they could still win.
If the
majority of the people would send in $10.00 or $20.00 to a Mollette
defense fund it wouldn’t take that much to settle their debt and
then, and maybe only then, will people start to trust in each other
again.
The time
has come for ideas!
Many of the crooks are gone! So the time has now come to
either lay down the swords on “ALL” sides or lets just fight it to
the complete destruction of Portsmouth, a town that many of grew up
in, played ball together, fought together with friends in military
conflicts around the world and many of our friends didn’t make it
home. We buried
soldiers for decades.
Did they die in vain? If Portsmouth dies,
that’s exactly what happened.
We all turned our back on them and their sacrifice for
us. The bitterness and
ugliness (some of it written in my stories in the mid 1990’s and
early 2000’s) needs to cease.
Just like in war, we need a cease fire, and talks must truly
begin if Portsmouth is ever to succeed. And I mean succeed for
everyone and not just the powerful members of the SOGP.
I just
pray that I live long enough to see it happen.

Doug Deepe.Com Is
Proud Of ALL Stories Written About Portsmouth Police
Chief
Charles
Horner. If The Truth
Hurts, So Be It!
Gary Daniels Tries
To Defend Horner!
By John Welton,
(aka Doug Deepe)
November 26,
2008
I wish I had been their personally to
see Portsmouth Chief of Police Charles Horner plead his case that
his “problems” were the result of stories written by “internet” web
sites. It’s obvious to
anyone that listen carefully Horner is discussing Danny’s Forum,
Moe’s Forum, The Sentinel, and Doug Deepe.Com. I for one am very
proud of all the stories I wrote on this crook and he now is reaping
the seeds he sowed.
First, when Horner complains about his
“family” being attacked he is discussing my revelation to the
citizens of Portsmouth that his son was a “drug addict.” The reason that story was
written was because PPD Chief Horner made the following challenge to
me, “You may think my son is a drug addict but you can NEVER prove
it.” This statement was
made to me in the Portsmouth Municipal Building outside the Clerks
Office on the stairwell heading down to the PPD Department. I turned to Chief
Horner and stated, “That sounds like a challenge!” Horner’s response was,
“If you had anything or find anything, then print it, because you
know you can’t.”
So, the hunt was on at his challenge.
Low and behold the Portsmouth Municipal Clerk
of Courts Office failed to seal up David Horner’s, (Chief Horner’s
son), criminal record for drug abuse which was to have been sealed
up. Once I found
PROOF, the story went up. He was so
“intimidated” by me that he went on either Danny’s Forum or Moe’s
Forum (I can’t remember which) and wrote he wanted to talk to me
using his real name. I
asked on the forum for a number to call him and he immediately put
up his office telephone number. I called Horner and
went to see him.
At this meeting where he was so
intimidated he made the following statement, “You’re the first guy
to ever beat me.” I
then apologized to Horner and asked Horner to call his wife and I
apologized to Brenda for writing the story but I did it because of
Horner’s attacks on me and his personal challenge to me to find the
info and then write it.
Chief Horner has selective
memory. While I
was with a friend at Attorney Christine Scott’s Office on a personal
matter, I received a call from Chief Horner begging me to come to
his office. He was on
the verge of tears.
At that time I was confused because I was exposing lies about
Horner in another matter that I had learned during my first
meeting. Chief Horner met me with a
pen and paper and asked that I write down a request to get copies of
his speech he gave to a local civic group and that I please put it
up on the internet as fast as possible because he believed former
Portsmouth Mayor Greg Bauer was going to fire him. That story involved Chief
Horner’s views on the high crime rate in Portsmouth. Chief Horner claimed former
Mayor Bauer was angry because of his presentation to that group and
felt if I wrote what he did and why that it might give him time to
get Bauer off of his back. I read the
presentation and then put it up on the internet word for word
because it was something I believed was true.
I don’t remember hearing on the video that
was just release of Chief Horner’s testimony concerning our “help”
we gave him.
Yes, Chief Horner cracked, and I for one am glad,
especially if it removes him from office. His actions on the stand
were the same going on for years. He is a paranoid person and
believes he is above the law. His officers know if
he gets his job back that he will retaliate against them because
they finally were forced to tell the truth. I heard the acting Chief
David Thoroughman defended Horner yesterday. What else could he
do? Thoroughman
assisted Horner going out on local forums using the name
“Grasshopper” to try to intimidate us to stop writing with threats
of jail, lawsuits, etc.
I have this on tape where Horner and Thoroughman are laughing
because there wasn’t anyway to prove it was them. When I pulled out the tape
and a copy of the computer being used (coming from the Portsmouth
City Building at all hours of the day and night, the smile came off
of their faces.
As for the former city official come crying
to Chief Horner, Horner told me that was Marty Mohr. (I have no proof of that but
Horner told me all about the meeting.) Horner stated that Mohr
feared being “outed” about his sexual affair and how it would cost
him his marriage and get him excommunicated from his local
church. If those
stories were false all Mohr had to do was file suit. He owns a business and had
the money to do it.
Mohr offered money up if the story would stop. Right Marty? Mohr got what he
deserved. He went to
Chief Horner to get us arrested for libel and intimidation of a
witness. According to
former Scioto County Common Pleas Prosecutor’s Office employees,
Chief Horner sought our arrest. Horner was asked if the
stories were true or false. Without any proof the
prosecutors tossed Horner out.
The sexual stories and misdeeds of
former MRDD Superintendent John Oakley were proven to be true
too. The new MRDD
Superintendent, Brenda Benson, came to my home thanking me for
getting him out. Benson
then stated that Oakley stole all of the offices computer equipment,
fax equipment and other county property. Benson said that
Oakley destroyed them.
County and City law enforcement refused to go after
Oakley. I wonder
why? Does Oakley
have personal info on certain law enforcement officials?
The sexual story about Lucasville
Superintendent Doug Booth was also true. Booth swore he would NEVER
RESIGN. Two days
later after I put up the emails he was writing back and forth with
this female teacher/sexual affair partner, Booth reversed course and
retired. Hum, I
wonder why?
Then we have Mr. Gary Daniels, aka
Lookdeeper, the new defender of Chief Charles Horner. Daniels loves to copy
others. Look at his
name, Lookdeeper was a spin-off of Doug Deepe. His website was called River
Lies, trying to make fun of Dr. Forrey’s website called
Rivervices.
Daniels owes over $200,000 in a lawsuit, is a dead beat
father who failed to make child support payments to his ex-wife and
sick children, while Daniels was out having a love relationship with
another woman.
Daniels lied on Bob and Teresa Mollette claiming that they
drove about 100 miles to dig up this dirt on him. Now Daniels says we wrote
stories about his “dead son.”
That never happened.
Now we learn Daniels was supposedly having coffee with Horner
sharing their sorrows about being picked on through the
internet. Daniels
continually called me and the Sentinel Staff liars about our
stories. Yet when we
get into his courthouse records and report the FACTS, he jumps over
to defend Horner.
I think these two men deserve each other. I hear that there is a
wonderful psychiatric hospital in Columbus. If they both check in, they
can have coffee over their Thorazine shots.
Daniels claims to know me so well yet
I walked right past him in a Franklin County Courthouse, sat through
one of his hearings about his failure to pay his child support, and
he never approached me.
I even sat down once and talked with his wife about how he
treated her and his kids.
Lets just say when I printed that story Daniels went nuts
just like Horner.
Did Daniels sue?
No, because he knew I would bring his wife, kids, his female
lover (not his wife), and court officials to prove what I wrote was
true.
Daniels
has consistently stated that the Sentinel and Doug Deepe.com were
really the creations of the Councilman Bob Mollette and his wife,
Teresa Mollette.
The Sentinel and Doug Deepe started on the internet in
1995. We never
met the Mollettes until sometime in 2002. I think that proves
there is no connection to this pack of lies being spewed by
Daniels. Maybe Horner
and Daniels had more than crème in their coffee!!!
To quote
Lee Scott, Horner is reaping what he sowed. Not one lawsuit filed
against any of the stories we wrote about Horner, City Officials,
County Officials, or private citizens. I wonder why? Its easy people, the
stories were all true.
Maybe Chief Horner will be out barking
like a dog again today when he reads this story. Someone should find where he
is staying and put a few bones or sticks by the door so he won’t run
out and start chasing cars! Remember the barking
Chuck?
As I stated when I began, I’m proud of what
I’ve written about Chief Horner and everyone else I’ve written
about. Sorry if the
truth hurts, but public officials and private citizens that jump in
the fray better be able to handle the truth! Chief Horner isn’t
nuts, he’s just a mean, grumpy old man, that got outsmarted by this
ex-felon. I take
pride in that fact!
But what does the internet attacks
have to do with why Chief Horner is on administrative trial? No charge was made
against him concerning the internet, except that the investigators
were told by local cops that Horner ordered them to NOT GIVE OUT
PUBLIC INFORMATION on cases to internet sites. That sounds like a
good lawsuit for violating our 1st Amendment Rights. Who better to testify on our
behalf than the local cops, and ex-FBI agent and a former US
Marshall?
If Chief Horner thinks this current case is bad, wait until I
get him under oath!
He knows we have tapes. And so does the
feds.
I
give Chief Horner credit, he’s going down as the liar we knew him to
be! As the Bible
says, God warned that he would expose the liars that hide and seek
to destroy those in ambush.
Their words will be used against them like a double edge
sword. Not only were
those that we wrote about destroyed with actions but by their own
words. That was
prophetic justice in the highest court there is!!
Have a nice day Portsmouth.

NEW GROUP SET TO LOSE MORE THAN INTEGRITY!
PROGRESS PORTSMOUTH BACKERS COULD
BEGIN BUILDING
WITHOUT VOTE OF THE PEOPLE OF
PORTSMOUTH.
By Doug Deepe
November 18, 2008
I have
stood off and watched with total amazement at the stupidity, and
genius, of the lawyers and
backers
of the Portsmouth Progress Group. I gave them more
credit than they deserved but I also put
faith
into a group that has allowed members of the SOGP to enter into the
inner circle of the group that
is
suppose to be defending the people with the alleged wrong doing of
the SOGP gang.
Yesterday
I called Austin Leedom and we agreed to put the old Sentinel Staff
back together and
hopefully over time Austin will see the light and withdraw
from the group that has allowed four
members
of the old SOGP to join the group we once held in high esteem. In fact, the group is
now
being led by one of the individuals that originally spearheaded the
Martings renovation.
It’s funny what a few dollars
gained those folks entry into, the inner sanctum where decisions
were
being made.
What I
don’t understand is how Progress Portsmouth and the lawyers that
back that group
missed
the fact that legally they can move forward with their project
without a vote of the people!
Yes, it’s a fact, they can begin
today, tearing down the old and building the new without the
permission
of the
people. All of
the concerned citizens have put their trust in the “home rule” and
the “city charter”
to keep
these men at bay.
Well once these men take the time to step back and look for
the secret key,
it will
be game over!
Taxes
will be raised on the property owners and suing or running to the
Ohio Board of Elections, Ohio
Attorney
General, Ohio Auditor or anyone else will serve no
meaningHow many times have the Sentinel
Staff
been wrong in the past?
We helped remove a mayor, two city
councilwomen all for less than a
few
hundred dollars. We
removed MRDD Superintendent John Oakley and the
Lucasville Superintendent
Doug
Booth without a penny.
We took down City Service Director Mike
Blackburn without a penny.
All of the Sentinel
Newspapers were paid for by advertisements,
donations from our personal pockets,
and
donations from a select few we trusted.
We refused
money from the gang to keep them at bay. Now the door has been opened
by
accepting their money and you can no longer keep them out of
your meetings. They now
will begin
to learn
what, when, where and how you plan to attack them. I thought it was funny to
see Councilman
Mike
Mearan waving the white flag and offering peace at your last council
meeting. I enjoyed
seeing
him pay
off his bet to a man in the audience. Yes, the white envelope was
a dinner for two!
Now people say, “Give Mike a
chance.” This is the
same guy who rented a car for his secretary that
was used
to bring drugs into Scioto County and it would have succeeded if not
for the Waverly Police
stopping
her and her boyfriend and seizing the drugs. Who ran to defend
her? Mike Mearan.
The pied
piper is leading the group out of town and soon the vote, if needed,
will go their way.
The Bauer recall was won by about a
67%-37% total. The
latest vote tally brought it down to about
57%-43%. The
traction is slipping yet people are jumping for joy.
It was sad
when the group legitimized drug dealers/abusers websites but to
allow members of the
SOGP to
lead your group is the first step in destruction of all the hard
work people put in to shining
the
light on the corruption in the City of Portsmouth. As the Bible says when you
hear the words
“peace,
peace, then comes sudden destruction.” There is a reason Portsmouth
is the 8th worse city
in the
nation to raise a family.
Soon it may become number one in that category. Who does that help?
The SOGP and you, the members of
the group that were leading the way out of darkness is planning
to join
forces with the darkness you claim to despise. That’s not the group I
knew.

Dear
Readers: For your information I have copied an email received
only minutes ago from John
Welton, aka Doug Deepe.
"Austin,
I'm still working on getting used to
the Sentinel site but I'm hoping you can put up a
notice to the
people that you, me and Wally ( the original Sentinel gang) are
regrouping and our first
action will be a civil rights suit against Horner, the PPD, Mayor
Kalb and the City of
Portsmouth for admitted violations of our first amendment
rights. Let the people
know we have legal counsel and the suit is being written and will
be filed in US 6th
Circuit Federal Court in Cincinnati very soon. Tell them our
star witness will
be a retired US Marshall from the Columbus area. I'm going to
try to post some tomorrow. So I hope you can get this
blurb up before I go to
writing so they know we have regrouped and are back in the
fight. John"
