EVIL KENIEVEL KALBSKI

People be prepared for the greatest RIVER DAZE show of the century 2005.  Our appointed dirt-bike-riding City Mayor will do anything for a vote; wait until you hear this.  RIVER DAZE 2005 WILL FEATURE OUR MAYOR AS EVIL KENIVAL KALBSKi WHO PLANS THE ULTIMATE JUMP OF ALL TIMES SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD! IN PORTSMOUTH, OHIO. 

 

No, he’s not planning on jumping the Marting’s building or Clay Johnson’s billfold.  But he will attempt to jump across the new Grant Bridge.  He has been traveling all over the country in preparation for this death defying jump.  He went as far to have the city pave his alley behind his house so he could practice his speed jumping. All I can say is I'm glad the RIVER DAZE celebration is before the November election. I'm sure for his great efforts people will surely declare him a hometown hero and elect him as Mayor.  After all most people in Portsmouth don't care about one’s ability to manage or be responsible for millions of our tax dollars.  But surely jumping from the Second Street ramp to the first pier would surely guarantee him the election! Better yet, if he could set his sights to a higher standard and make it to the second pier I'm sure this would win the taxpayers over to his way of thinking. After all he did have them in mind when he made the statement “YOU PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET A NEW MARTING’S CITY BUILDING, LIKE IT OR NOT! AND YOU WILL PAY FOR IT WITH HIGH TAXES FOR THE NEXT TWENTY FIVE YEARS.”  For someone to make this statement you know he has the MENTALITY to make the jump.

 

But, better yet a jump like this could also draw citizens from Sciotoville, if he were to invite Sixth Ward Councilmen Marty Mohr to join him on the back of the bike! What a crowd pleaser of a show this would make, and just think of all the booths full of “Auto Mania” souvenirs that could be sold at River DAZE depicting this great event. Mohr would surely donate all proceeds to the city? After all, Mohr did donate to his fellow Councilman Malone’s campaign. Could this be considered buying a vote       

 

I know this writer can't wait to see THE GREATEST JUMP FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD right here in River City. RIVER DAZE 2005!!!

NO ADMISSION TO BE CHARGED TO SEE THIS GREAT FEAT, BUT CAMPAIGN DONATIONS WILL BE APPRECIATED.

"BANISH THE MAN WHO BOUGHT THIS DAMN CAN

RECALL BAUER!"

By Austin Leedom Saturday, June 19, 2004

At 8:30 p.m.today, Saturday, June 19, 2004 I took numerous photos of bright blue Glockner Garbage can that was placed at the corner of Kinney’s Lane and Timlin.

The lid on the Glockner can was opened; inside the lid of the can in professional lettering were painted the following words, "BANI$H THE MAN WHO BOUGHT THI$ DAMN CAN RECALL BAUER!

We are not certain who placed this sign on the Glockner Garbage Can nor are we sure who has possession of the can. However, we have good reason to believe that the writing on this can was done by a well-known member of the Scioto County Democratic Party.

Was this sign produced and displayed as a measure of retaliation against the Scioto County Repulican Party Central Committee who resolved at their meeting on May 11, 2004 to support Greg Bauer’s battle to retain his office as Mayor of Portsmouth.

The resolution to support Mayor Bauer, who is presently enduring a continued investigation into many of his illegal acts, was in response to a motion by Insurance Agent C. B. Hermann, who is also under investigation. Sheriff Marty Donini (who was under trial in February of this year by the Board of Elections for numerous violations, including theft charges and improper expungement of his criminal acts)

made a second to the motion

The minutes of the Scioto County Republican Central Committee meeting show that there was complete agreement by all members present. It was further resolved by the Republicans that they would support Mayor Bauer with advertisements.

An angry, outraged, disgusted citizenry of Portsmouth petitioned for a recall of Mayor Bauer because of his arrogant acts of awarding unbid, over-priced contracts to friends who had generously contributed to the Mayor by various means and the Mayor’s illegal $2 million purchase of the old Martings Building in May 2002 from his friend Clayton Johnson, who is also known as the Richard D. Marting Foundation.

Citizens have also been angered by generous tax abatements to Mayor Bauer’s friends while "the rest of us" have suffered from outrageous real estate tax increases and a 70% increase in water-sewage fees. The citizens simply cannot afford to have Greg Bauer in office any longer.

The citizens’ petition to recall Mayor Bauer had nothing to do with politics, race, lodge, or church affiliation. The signers of the petitions against the continued tyranny of Bauer’s administration were angered by his criminal actions, not by Bauer’s membership in the Scioto County Republican Party.

However, the Scioto County Republican Party Central Committee, at the behest of two of its most disreputable citizens, on May 11, 2004, decided to make this recall petition by the damaged citizens of Portsmouth a political issue that the Republican Party Central Committee is going to support against the citizens.

The wounded citizens of Portsmouth that the Republican Party Central Committee has decided to kick around (like a stray dog) may retaliate against the Republicans in coming elections.

The ‘crippled dog’ the Republicans mistreat today may bite them in the next elections.

Is the sign, "BANI$H THE MAN WHO BOUGHT THI$ DAMN $IGN RECALL BAUER," the first of many retaliatory acts against the Republicans who have resolved to make the non-partisan office of Mayor a political battleground?

Or is the sign simply the reasonable response of another injured citizen who is outraged by the crookery and deception of our present Mayor?

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY’S OFFICE

Lynn Alan Grimshaw, now serving overseas as a U. S. Army Major in the Iraqi War is seeking re-election as Prosecuting Attorney. Democratic newcomer Eric Wrage is contesting Major Grimshaw for the nomination; Republican Mark Kuhn is running also. Prediction: Major Grimshaw crushes Wrage in primary race…... then Grimshaw beats Kuhn in the fall in close contest.........

COUNTY COMMISSION RACES

Her past support for the now-exposed deceptive Sheriff Marty Donini may damage Incumbent Commissioner Opal Spears in race against veteran state legislator Bill Ogg; Incumbent Tom Rieser may also be tarnished by close association with Sheriff Donini; Republican Tim Knauff is running against Democratic Incumbent Tom Reiser.

SHERIFF’S RACE

The race between Sheriff Marty Donini and Democratic challenger Jim Lintz may be the muddiest of all contests; both candidates have closets full of skeletons.. Although acknowledged by many as a more courageous and competent enforcement officer Jim Lintz has dubious experiences in his past, and only last week Sheriff Marty Donini confessed, under oath, that he was a thief, and lacked proper state qualifications to run for the office of Sheriff. Donini also has repeatedly refused to make an accounting of public funds expended. This will be the most interesting race of all. By Austin Leedom, Wednesday, February 18, 2004.

 

SCIOTO COUNTY DEMOCRATS MEET

IN NEW BOSTON THURSDAY NIGHT

By Austin Leedom, posted at 3:00 a.m. Friday, January 16, 2004

An atmosphere of excitement filled the New Boston Village Meeting Hall last night as seventy-one Democrats listened to their candidates speak of the excellent possibilities of winning county offices in the fall elections.

All incumbent office holders were invited to speak.

County Treasurer Margaret Gordley and County Recorder Irene Ashley have no opposition in the coming election; both ladies gave short talks.

Commissioner Tom Reiser spoke of obtaining the Sun Coke plant for Scioto County; he gave credit to all the other persons who had worked so hard and ably to bring this new industry to Scioto County. He noted that he had received a letter of appreciation from Sun Coke for the tremendous team work of local public officials who were able to put together an agreement with Sun Coke in only sixty days; it was noted in the letter from Sun Coke that such negotiations normally have taken eight months or longer at other locations.

Bev Grimshaw then spoke for her husband Lynn Grimshaw, the County Prosecuting Attorney. She expressed hope that Lynn's tour of duty in the Iraqi war area will soon be ended. Lynn Grimshaw has been serving on active duty as an U. S. Army Major in the Judge Advocate General's Corps since he was called to active duty in February 2003. Although he is overseas at this time Mr. Grimshaw is running for re-election for his eighth term as County Prosecuting Attorney.

County Auditor David Green and County Commissioner Skip Riffe both spoke briefly and enthusiastically. There is no election this year for the offices they now hold.

Teresa Knittel, candidate for County Clerk of Courts, Jim Lintz, candidate for Sheriff, Todd Book, candidate for re-election to the Ohio General Assembly, and Bill Ogg, candidate for County Commissioner all spoke briefly. Mr. Ogg previously served several terms as County Commissioner before serving eight years in the Ohio General Assembly.

Attorney Eric Wrage who is challenging Lynn Grimshaw for the Democratic nomination for the Prosecuting Attorney's Office talked of reasons he should win the nomination, and urged everyone to support the winner of the primary campaign. He promised that he would give complete support to the winner of the primary race.

Saundra Reiser, President of the Democratic Women's Club spoke of upcoming meetings of their club.

Randy Basham, Chairman of the County Democratic Party, conducted the meeting. Mr. Basham urged all candidates to begin campaigning now for election. "Don't wait until October to begin work, begin now," he said.

Mr. Basham is an unusually good speaker; his deep voice carries well, and radiates confidence.

Chairman Basham conducted a very orderly and open meeting; following the talks by the office holders and candidates he invited anyone present to speak. Richard Noel, of Dunlop Road, a loyal, long-time party worker accepted the invitation to speak; he stood up to testify that the meeting was the best and most inspiring meeting he had seen in the fifty years he has been in attendance.
