    AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION SECTION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW SUMMER 2008, VOL. I, ISSUE NO. III WHAT EFFECT WILL THE AAMD GUIDELINES HAVE ON THE ANTIQUITIES MARKETS? By Erin Thompson, New York In 2004, an Italian court convicted Giacomo Medici, an Italian OFFICIADUNT citizen, of dealing in illicitly excavated antiquities. The fascinating story of Italy’s investigation into Medici and his antiquities smuggling ring is detailed in The Medici Conspiracy, a book by Peter Watson and Cecilia Todeschini. CONTENTS Medici and his accomplices kept meticulous records of the illicit antiquities which passed through their hands. Thanks to these TRAFFICKING NEWS records, Italy has recently successfully demanded the return of NOTES illegally-exported Italian antiquities from the collections of PAGE 3 American museums, including the Getty Museum, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and Metropolitan Museum of Art. BARAKAT EXPLAINED In 2008, the American Association of Museum Directors PAGE 6 (“AAMD”), an influential professional organization, reacted to Italy’s aggressive repatriation demands by formulating a new set of RELOCATING THE guidelines for the purchase of antiquities (available at BARNES FOUNDATION www.aamd.org).

  • Places of Composition: Writing Contexts in Appalachian Ohio
    Places of Composition: Writing Contexts in Appalachian Ohio Nathan Shepley n her 2007 Composition Studies article, "Fear, Teaching Composition, I and Students' Discursive Choices: Re-Thinking Connections between Emotions and College Student Writing," Sally Chandler argues that when looking at students' writing processes, we should see students' emotions as both individually based and socially constructed. This dual focus. Chandler explains, locates the act of writing at the intersections of "home discourses students bring to their writing, the particular version of academic discourse demanded by the assignment, and the emotional discourse evoked by the context(s) for composing, to name a few" (64, emphasis added). To my thinking. Chandler does an admirable job of exploring how student writ- ing is embedded in emotional experiences. However, I would like to dwell a bit longer on context. More specifically, I would urge us to continue to think not just about the general term context, but about the ways that geo- graphic place and cultural location affect students' writing. Recall Gloria Anzaldua's groundbreaking book Borderlands, which encouraged theoreti- cal reconsiderations of how different writers use concepts of location and space to promote identification and differences, communal knowledge and extra-communal knowledge. Although Anzaldua's focus was South Texas, her concerns speak to the experiences of people in other regions who must negotiate their identities in complex ways, even regions that do not appear striking for the constraints and struggles of their inhabitants. One such region is Appalachian Ohio, a 29-county expanse of Appala- chian foothills in southeastern Ohio where roughly 1.5 million people live (Vital Statistics).

  • Indian Head Rock Trial Set for May: Shaffer Faces Charges in Civil Case
    The Ironton Tribune, Ohio Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Business News February 23, 2010 Tuesday Indian Head Rock trial set for May: Shaffer faces charges in civil case BYLINE: Benita Heath, The Ironton Tribune, Ohio SECTION: STATE AND REGIONAL NEWS LENGTH: 461 words Feb. 23--ASHLAND, Ky. -- A court date has been set in the civil lawsuit against Ironton historian Steve Shaffer over his part in the removal of the Indian Head Rock from the Ohio River almost three years ago. Shaffer had faced criminal charges in Kentucky for removing an object of antiquity and/or defacing an archaeological site. However those charges were dropped in August 2009 in the courtroom of Greenup Circuit Judge Robert Conley when the state withdrew them on the grounds that the rock Shaffer had removed was not the historic object in question. As the criminal case was going forward, the Commonwealth of Kentucky filed the civil suit in February of 2009. Now that case is scheduled to come before U.S. District Judge Henry R. Wilhoit Jr. on May 11 in the federal building in Ashland. Kentucky is suing Shaffer, the city of Portsmouth, former Portsmouth Mayor Gregory Bauer and David Vetter, a diver involved in the rock expedition. "Kentucky was and is the rightful owner of the site in the Ohio River from which the Indian Head Rock was designated," the complaint states. "By removing Indian Head Rock from its archaeological site in the Ohio River without having first obtained a permit from the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology, Defendants committed a violation of KRS 164.720." However in a motion filed this summer, Ashland-based attorney Mike Curtis, who represents Shaffer, argued that the rock Shaffer retrieved is not the Indian Head Rock.

  • Governor's Office of Appalachia Newsletter
    Governor’s Office of Appalachia Newsletter May 2012 Issue 1 A Message from Director Wilson Since being named Director of the Governor’s Office of Appalachia last November, I have been traveling the 32-county region meeting with various members of local governments, chambers of commerce, and businesses discussing the needs of the community and how we can work together to better our communities. I believe the Appalachian Region is poised for unprecedented gains. In February, our region and the city of Steubenville had the honor of hosting Governor Kasich’s state of the state address. I was excited that state government came to Jefferson County and the Appalachian Region to celebrate the success of Wells Academy – the highest-ranking public elementary school in Ohio. Governor Kasich recognized all the hard work of the students, teachers, parents, and administrators. He also talked about economic development issues for this region, Governor Kasich gives his State of the State address at Wells Academy in Steubenville. one of which is Shale. Part of the work I have been doing over the past few months is meeting with communities to discuss how we can maximize the potential of the Marcellus and Utica Shale. The Governor wants to make sure that Ohio utilizes this resource to its potential in a thoughtful and strategic manner. We have the opportunity to build this industry and create jobs, not just at the drilling site but across the industry. As the state’s delegate to the Appalachian Regional Commission, I also will be your advocate nationally as well as in Columbus.

  • Indian Head Rock Case Set for August Trial
    The Daily Independent (Ashland, Kentucky) Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Business News October 24, 2008 Friday Indian Head Rock case set for August trial BYLINE: Kenneth Hart, The Daily Independent, Ashland, Ky SECTION: STATE AND REGIONAL NEWS LENGTH: 558 words Oct. 24--GREENUP -- The infamous Indian Head Rock case won't be going to trial until next summer. At a pretrial conference on Thursday, Greenup Circuit Judge Bob Conley set a trial date of Aug. 3 for Steven R. Shaffer, the Ohio historian who headed the dive team that removed the historic 8-ton boulder from the depths of the Ohio River in July of last year. Conley also was informed by Shaffer's lead attorney, Michael Curtis, that the case would take "two weeks or longer" to try. "You've got to be kidding me," the judge replied. "It's a simple case -- did he take it out or didn't he?" However, Curtis said the case was actually much more complex than that. He hinted it could hinge on the rock's status as a registered antiquity. "Was it (registered), or was it registered after the fact?" he said. Curtis also said he also initially thought the case was going to be a simple one, "but then we started getting all this evidence." Curtis earlier said the amount of paperwork involved in the case was so voluminous he needed another attorney to assist him. Earlier this month, Conley granted a motion by Curtis to allow Portsmouth attorney David Beck to enter the case as co-counsel for Shaffer. Shaffer, 51, of Ironton, is charged with one count of illegally removing an object of antiquity, a Class D felony that carries a prison sentence of one to five years.
