"A small faction with only partial knowledge of the facts (egged on by business people who do not even live in Aurora) are asking form my recall," he states. "To recall me as a purely revenge move because I was one vote that asked for Chief Simon's resignation would be a big loss for the city of Aurora, for all the good things I have done and all I still have to do." Recall ballots will be mailed by the county to registered voters on Feb. 28 and must be returned by mid-March. Tonya Y.

Board vetoes ill inmate's early release The Associated Press Reversing an earlier stance, the state Parole Board decided Wednesday not to give early medical release to a convicted kidnapper and rapist who is dying from liver disease. Brian Campagne had a brief taste of freedom last month when the board released him under a law that allows terminally ill, incapacitated or elderly inmates to be freed if they no longer are considered dangerous. Two days later, however, Parole Board members ordered Campagne back to prison after receiving new information in the case.

Wednesday, the board decided that Campagne was not eligible for early release because he had written four letters to his victim even though she had asked him not to contact her. "She felt threatened by the repeated contact," Parole Board Chairwoman Marva Fabien said. "This contact, plus the fact that he is still mobile, leads us to believe that he is potentially dangerous." The decision means that the earliest Campagne now could be released would be 2009, Fabien said. MEMORIAL I A.J INFORMATION Continued from Page 1 Mayor Richard Harrison disagrees and does not think that the decision to let Simon go, which was a unanimous vote by the council, was taken lightly. "If Bill gets recalled, it will be a loss for the council and the city," he said.

"He was willing to volunteer his time, which is something a lot of people aren't willing to do." Carr, who declined to discuss the issue at length, said he does not think it's fair that he's the only council member being recalled. Still, he's not surprised. In a three-paragraph statement that will appear on the recall ballot, Carr defends the work he's done for rural Aurora, a his FUNERAL Funeral Notices 202 Funeral Notices E.L "Fit!"

The boy's body never has been found. Though investigators suspected Gibson in his son's death almost from the start, he wasn't charged until last year, after Gibson's wife took their children and left him, and Karen told authorities what she saw the day her brother disappeared.

Gibson smiled when Karen entered the courtroom, but showed no emotion during her testimony. Under questioning by District Attorney Ted Zacher, Karen said she stayed inside looking for a shoe in her closet when Tommy went outside and her father followed soon afterward.
