MRDD EMPLOYEES, POLICE, PROSECUTORS, ELECTED OFFICIALS

Farley Square Vigils are just the beginning. God has a plan.

When the Sentinel was approached a few months ago by a couple of local citizens that had been wronged by local law enforcement officials this reporter believed that God had finally devised a plan to root out corruption in Scioto County.

The staff met with these people and told them that if they would help us gather information that we would print the "truth" about what has been going on behind "closed doors in secret meetings" by the crooks in this town.

Immediately, God took my attention back to a passage of scriptures that proved to me that it will be GOD, not any man, that brings these people down and allows this city to grow. I feel it’s time to share with the readers that passage right now:

All mankind will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done. Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him!

With that in mind lets look at what has transpired over the last few months.

MRDD has moved right to the forefront because of the children being involved. Look at what has been going on in "secrecy" and the "plans" to keep it hidden from the public. What happened to those plans? They were suddenly exposed. This secret had been kept hidden from public view for years and nobody ever called them to task on what has been happening to the children of MRDD.

The meeting notes of Oakley, "His own words will bring him down." That’s why I pray to be sued by this man so it allows me the opportunity to get the staff of MRDD under oath and bring Oakley’s words out of the dark and into the light.

What about the local elected officials, law enforcement and police departments.

Just look at what has transpired. A flood of lawsuits have been filed that will allow Sgt. Matt Powell to get the majority of law enforcement officers on the witness stand to testify under oath. (Their own words)

Chief Prosecutor Randy Rumble spoke about secret Grand Jury testimony. (Their own words)

Chief Charles Horner has been sneaking around with his wicked followers and trying to gather information to use against Sgt. Matt Powell but each time he makes a move someone reveals his plan. Remember the 911 dispatch tape. Remember his secret memo. Remember the TST wrecker driver going to the Grand Jury on Sgt. Powell? He owes his livelihood to Chief Horner. (Their own words)

Then last week we discover that Chief Horner is laughing at us because the Sentinel could never find out about his son’s criminal record because it was expunged. Well what happened. The Portsmouth Municipal Court Records web-site didn’t have the record sealed up and it was still out there for public viewing. (Their own words)

According to inside sources Chief Horner exploded when he saw the Sentinel had this information about his son and had posted it for the whole world to see. It appears to be ok for all you people out there to raise other people’s criminal records but when it hits home it makes you a little upset. I surely hope the Chief didn’t tear up any city property in his fit of anger. (Their own words)

Portsmouth City Service Director Mike Blackburn’s computer purchase is in his own handwriting. (Their own words)

Lt. Lynn Brewer’s memo with his signature calling for Sgt. Powell’s removal from the F.O.P. will put him right in the civil suits. (Their own words)

The documents we find are written by individuals that must answer for their own words on those documents and this is driving these people crazy.

All these people, Oakley, Horner, Brewer, Rumble, Blackburn, etc. all thought they had devised the "perfect plan" only to have it blow up in their faces. When God wants to make a change the change is going to take place.

The nightly vigils at Farley Square, in remembrance of Carlton Cave, are going to bring down an answer from God. Many people don’t realize that the answer is here already. The people are slowly joining forces to take back the streets we live on. What better memorial could be left for such a fine young man as Carlton Cave as to be the catalyst that brought the people in Portsmouth together again.

Carlton Cave wasn’t a drug dealer, he wasn’t a thief, he was a devoted father and a man that nobody can say anything negative about. He was very well spoken and loved his child with all his heart. It’s a very sad commentary that it took the death of this sweet young man to finally wake up the people of Portsmouth. He was too young to be taken away but there’s no way his death will go unanswered.

His killing was cold blooded, pre-meditated murder. His killer deserves to be charged with the capital specification or that charge should never be used again in this city.

Listen to your local pastor’s people and join together as a community to fight these individuals. God is revealing all their little dirty deeds and this web-site will continue to expose as much as we can.

To be quite honest with the readers, I expect to be killed for what I’m doing. This web-site has driven wedges between people that had corrupt plans and we are in harms way for exposing them. Employees across the city and county government warns us daily of the anger and hatred spewing towards us, but we continue to ask ourselves who will do it if we don’t? So we place our lives on the line and trust God to protect us from these men.
When and if that happens I can do one thing. I can look God right in the eye and tell him I tried. Now it’s up to the people.

Are you willing to sit there cowardly letting children be raped at MRDD? You have the power as a group to reveal Oakley and his criminal deeds.

What about the good, decent law enforcement officers in both New Boston and Portsmouth Police Departments. Are you going to let these crooked men over you force you to continue to carry out their dirty deeds?

Finally, to all those elected officials. You were elected to protect the people. Where are you right now in the hour of need of the people? You are hiding in your offices hoping that none of this hits you personally.

Sorry it’s going to hit all of you before this is over.

God has moved a big mountain off the City of Portsmouth, Ohio and big changes are coming. Stand up people and take our town back.

I hope someone from MRDD emails me tonight and lets me know how irate Oakley was upon his return to work today.

Their days in power are numbered and they know it. Just keep the faith people.

MRDD: OAKLEY PAY AND OTHER CORRUPTION
Oakley’s little Cost Review Committee Exposed

By Doug Deepe, Investigative Reporter

(Posted 9:00 a.m., Friday, July 18, 2003)

The Sentinel obtained copies of MRDD Superintendent John Oakley’s wages for 2002 and found a couple of amazing facts with the figures.

First, Superintendent Oakley was paid a salary of $82,475.13 for the period January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002.

In those figures it’s noted that Oakley received 17 equal payments of $3020.43. Oakley then received 7 payments in the amount of $3192.58. The last two payments for Oakley dated 12/13/2002, in the amount of $4,389.88 and 12/27/2003 in the amount of $4,389.88.

Oakley’s 2003 payments are as follows: 2 payments in the amount of $4,389.88, 13 payments in the amount of $3,192.58.

It appears that Oakley has some type of "balloon payments" in his contract. If not, why the differences in his payments? Most county contracts are divided into 26 equal payments but not Oakley. Maybe the Scioto County Commissioners can explain this.

More questions and problems are being exposed that all lead to one fact that seems to be Oakley’s driving motive, "keep the money".

Why has Superintendent Oakley set up a system where there is a denial of the "Right to Choose" by consumers by restricting use of providers other than MRDD?

This is done with Oakley’s illegal little "Cost Review Committee" that he established to bog down the system to ensure that consumers choose MRDD.

Isn’t this "Cost Review Committee" a violation of state law? According to the State Board Members that I talked with yesterday we’re going to find out very soon. (I think Oakley’s in for a big surprise.)

What about the federal matching payments Oakley?

What about the meetings you had with the Primary Service Coordinators (PSC’s) on 10/3/02, 10/10/02 and 10/17/02 when you asked the PSC’s to do something illegal and immoral? Does this sound familiar Oakley; Oakley gave tips to PSC’s on how to "Get Rid of Providers". Then you told the PSC’s, "You can’t do it to SRS because they have the means to defend themselves." Oh my, an agency like SRS scares you huh? I guess that’s where my information should go next, since I’ve sent some to the state.

PSC’s were told by you Oakley that only MRDD providers would be accepted. What was that other comment you made? "We don’t want SRS to get our dollars."

There it is; the money. See Oakley, your own words are going to bring you down.

Oakley instructed PSC’s that anyone in need of a professional service such as, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy and nursing should know that these services should be a "RED FLAG. These services are too much money to pay because they eat up the matching funds. DENY THE SERVICES. This was stated at a meeting on 1/9/03 PSC meeting.

Commissioner’s did you tell Oakley to cut or deny services to the needy?

How Oakley’s instructions to force PSC’s to seek legal guardianship on enrollees to keep them in school rather than allow them into the adult services. I think that was in your 1/30/03 meeting with the PSC’s.

Ask the MRDD staff if these meetings took place Commissioners.

Oakley has lied to his own board members and laughed that he could rattle off fake Ohio State Laws and get the MRDD Board to approve whatever he wanted.

It really must be true that you can manipulate your Board of Trustees.

What’s really curious is how someone, lets say Donna Royce, a woman that was hired in as a counselor, is now the Community Service Director. (Now you can yell at Doug Deepe, Donna. Just explain how you jumped over all those more qualified than you to the position you have now.)

Oakley is using his little "Cost Review Committee" for one purpose; to deny services that are needed by citizens of Scioto County to ensure he can keep his high salary.

It’s an absolute disgrace that such a committee exists with the millions of dollars flowing through MRDD each year and it was set up by the Superintendent to do one thing, force money to stay at MRDD in violation of laws.

It seems like Oakley has made a decision that since the enrollment at the Verne Riffe School is dropping he can withhold important and needed services to the most helpless people in our county to keep his bank balance at MRDD full.

The reason he is getting by with this is because the Scioto County Commissioners have not been actively involved with these issues. Well at least not the Democrats, including Verne Riffe III. I’ve discussed things with people with personal knowledge of MRDD today that leads me to believe that Commissioner Opal Spears did try to appoint members to the MRDD Board that wouldn’t "rubber stamp" Oakley’s requests. That apparently didn’t work, but at least she tried.

What I don’t understand is how Oakley could have sat silently by when an older male "lesser mentally challenged male" was following younger mentally challenged males into the bathroom and ripping the young boys pants down and sodomizing them.

Commissioners, this is criminal activity. The staff reported this to the MRDD Administration, including Oakley, and the staff was told that nobody could go into the bathroom and watch the older enrollee, because it was a violation of that man’s rights.

So Oakley, you allowed crimes to be inflicted on children that couldn’t yell out for help to protect "a right"? Why weren’t the police called? What changed your mind to allow the staff to monitor the man after the sodomy and rapes took place Oakley?

Where the heck have the Scioto County Commissioners been? I know for a fact that the staff will tell you about this. You’re now warned it happened and the whole thing is going to come to light very soon.

The staff was forced to believe that Oakley and his administration could put out a memo restricting workers
