Return to Story IndexI FATAL FIRE
Two people were inside this Circle Drive home in Spencer when it caught fire early Thursday morning... and concerned neighbors in the closeknit community came out hoping for the best... and finding out the worst. Sue Looney / Neighbor "One of my friends gave me a call this morning, and she wanted me to go check, because they're really good friends with him, so we went out there, and they had just pulled him out of the house, and he was laying on the ground." When they got inside, they found the man right inside the front door. Darrah Wilcox / dwilcox@wchstv.com "When firefighters got called out to the scene, everyone had made it out of the house safely. By the time they got here, the man had gone back inside." Now, investigators are sending out a heavy warning. Jason / Asst. State Fire Marshal "Get out and stay out, don't go back in, don't try to go back in, don't attempt to." RM "Nothing inside is worth your life. People just don't realize, they think, 'Well I just came out of that house, the smoke is not really that bad,' and they step maybe just in the front door,and we found the victim just inside the front door, just inside the front door." Now, shaken up neighbors are remembering 54-year-old Lewis Fields. "He always stopped to ask you how you were doing, he'd always ask if you needed your grass mowed, if there was anything they could do, if he could run to the store for you he would gladly go, he would do anything for anybody. He will be deeply missed. sigout Firefighters acted quickly... knowing they didn't have any time to spare. Chief Rob Miller / Spencer Fire Department "It changes a lot, you know, when you're talking about life, you speed up everything you're doing, you concentrate solely on that." FIRE CREWS WERE ON SCENE MUCH OF THE MORNING PUTTING OUT HOT SPOTS. AN ASSISTANT STATE FIRE MARSHAL WAS ALSO THERE... TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE.

Return to Story IndexCOST OF REFORM
DEMOCRATS SEE IT AS VINDICATION.. REPUBLICANS SEE IT AS FUZZY MATH. PRESIDENT OBAMA "A new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office precludes that the reform we seek will bring 1.3 trillion dollars in deficit reduction over the next two decades." GREAT NEWS FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.. AS IT CONTINUES TO TRY AND SWAY ENOUGH DEMOCRATS TO VOTE FOR THE MASSIVE HEALTH REFORM PACKAGE. PRESIDENT OBAMA "That makes this legislation the most significant effort to reduce the deficit since the balance budget act of the 1990's." THE C-B-O PUTS THE PRICETAG FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF REFORM AT 940-BILLION DOLLARS FOR ITS FIRST TEN YEARS. THE NON-PARTISAN BUDGET OFFICE SAYS THE LEGISLATION WILL CUT THE DEFICIT BY ALMOST 140-BILLION IN ITS FIRST DECADE.. AND UP TO A TRILLION OVER 2 DECADES. BUT THOSE NUMBERS.. CRITICS SAY.. DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY. They're vastly understating the real cost of that. THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE CAN ONLY CRUNCH THE NUMBERS THEY'RE GIVEN. so if they're told for example don't count the 250-billion dollars it's going to cost to fix Medicare in the future, they can't count that. That has to be taken aside and put somewhere else because those are the rules they're given. AND THAT'S WHAT REPUBLICANS SAY HAPPENED WITH THIS CALCULATION. SINCE THE BEGINNING.. THEY CLAIM DEMOCRATS PLANNED TO USE ALMOST 500-BILLION DOLLARS IN MEDICARE MONEY TO FUND THE HEALTH PACKAGE.. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CALLING IT A SAVINGS.. IN ESSENCE DOUBLE COUNTING THE MONEY. AND.. THE HEALTH BILL DOESN'T INCLUDE THE SO-CALLED "DOC-FIX".. A 200-BILLION DOLLAR PACKAGE TO REIMBURSE DOCTORS WHO PROVIDE MEDICARE SERVICES. SINCE IT'S NOT IN THE BILL... THE C-B-O CAN'T INCLUDE IT IN ITS HEALTH COST ESTIMATES. It's extremely complex. They've been asked to do a lot of work in a little bit of time. AND ECONOMISTS SAY.. ANYONE READING THE C-B-O REPORT SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT THAT IT ESTIMATED THE COST OF A BILL.. THAT ISN'T FINALIZED. IN THE LETTER TO SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI.. THE C-B-O SAID "THE AGENCY HAS NOT THOROUGHLY EXAMINED THE RECONCILIATION PROPOSAL TO VERIFY ITS CONSISTENCY WITH THE PREVIOUS DRAFT. THIS ESTIMATE IS THEREFORE PRELIMINARY..." I see a lot of hedging. i see that they're not coming out that we're pretty sure about this. It appears that this scenario could materialize but it's going to depend on a lot of things coming true before we can say yes this is going to happen.

THE MOVE COMES AFTER PET OWNERS REPORTED DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF HEALTH PROBLEMS TIED TO COLLARS AND MEDICINES IN 2008. THEY INCLUDE SEIZURES AND EVEN DEATH. THE E-P-A SAYS IT'S GOING TO DEVELOP STRICTER TESTING AND EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS FOR TOPICAL TREATMENTS. OF PARTICULAR CONCERN IS "SPOT-ON" TREATMENTS. THOSE ARE ONES APPLIED DIRECTLY TO AN ANIMAL'S SKIN. PISCITELLI says: "Dogs most commonly the reaction that we see is at the site of the application, so it's more of a topical skin reaction or irritation but it can appear as a chemical would and it can be pretty significant if that wound gets infected." THE E-P-A WILL ALSO BE LOOKING CLOSER AT LABELS TO SEE IF THEY NEED IMPROVEMENT.

We're coming to you this week from Gibson's Family Restaurant. This place was shut down by Putnam County health inspectors last week when they found people here using water from a spicket at the BP station to fill water glasses and to cook and clean. As you can see, the place....It was supposed to open today, but.... We have a couple of places to tell you about this week. Cabell County health inspectors found some serious issues with the Huntington Area Food Bank. They found rat and mouse droppings in the facitlity and say the mouse traps hadn't been serviced in 3 months. There was also cheese being stored at improper temperatures. Next, we go to Applebee's at Liberty Square in Hurricane. Inspectors found 8 violations including 4 critical. Putnam County health inspectors said there were dirty dishes and utensils in the clean rack and they found dirty pansl. Inspectors also said the ice machine was dirty. That's it for this week's report. Don't forget, you can get your first look at Behind the Kitchen Door Thursday on Eyewitness News This Morning. I'm Patrick McMurtry, I'll see you then.
