ments will provide sup- port, Easley said. The river will be closed to commercial traffic for several hours Friday after- noon for aircraft to make test flights in preparation for the Thunder air show. And it will be closed again Saturday, probably from shortly after noon until late evening, or until shortly af- ter the last fireworks are shot off, Easley said. Boaters coming to watch Thunder are advised to drop anchor in the desig- nated “no-wake zone” be- tween river miles 602.7 (near the west end of To- whead Island) and 598.0 (near Six Mile Island). Around12:30 p.m. Satur- day, the Coast Guard will declare a “no-entry zone” from mile 606.8 (near the Portland Canal) to about 200 yards upriver of the Big Four Bridge. All spec- tator boats must stay away from the no-entry zone. Also, no vessels are to anchor or loiter in the navi- gable channel, or from the Kentucky shoreline to near the middle of the river. Easley said Coast Guard reservists and members of the Coast Guard auxiliary will be passing out public- safety leaflets to pleasure boaters Saturday at Carrie Gaulbert Cox Park on the Kentucky shore and at Duf- fy’s Landing in Jefferson- ville, Ind. Two of the most impor- tant tips, officials said, are to make sure all passen- gers wear life jackets and to refrain from drinking al- cohol while boating. Boats probably will be allowed to leave the view- ing area after Thunder in groups and at staged inter- vals, Easley said, with the departure schedule to be determined by river condi- tions and by the number of boats. Boaters can stay an- chored overnight in areas that are not restricted, he said. Reporter Sheldon S. Shafer can be reached at (502) 582- 7089.

After Levco was ap- pointed to take over the case, Dartt told Henderson to hand the case file over to the new prosecutor and to “fully cooperate in his re- view and investigation of the file and this case.” Camm’s attorneys have objected, saying that allow- ing Henderson to do any- thing more than hand over the files would inject his conflicted interest into the proceeding. That would go against the purpose of the appeals court ruling, Uliana said. “The more Mr. Levco feels he has to rely on Mr. Hen- derson, the more the con- flict.” Levco countered that “it almost doesn’t make logical sense … that I couldn’t re- view witnesses” with Hen- derson and discuss insights with him. “I don’t believe I should be prohibited from talking to him.” He also said any consultation with Hen- derson would be minimal. Uliana proposed a com- promise in which Levco would keep a log of any con- tacts with Henderson to help ensure they didn’t go beyond what is necessary to ensure all of the evidence has been transferred be- tween the two. Levco objected to the proposal, fearing it might later provide a reason for the defense to request his telephone and email rec- ords “to prove that the log is accurate.” Uliana assured the judge that the defense would trust Levco to be ac- curate in his log and would not seek information to cor- roborate its accuracy. Though the defense mo- tion requests a ban on all past and present employ- ees of Henderson’s office, Uliana agreed to carve out an exception for former in- vestigator Wayne Kessin- ger because he was a wit- ness in the second Camm trial. Both sides predicted that a third trial would not begin before next year. Dartt scheduled the next hearing for 1 p.m. July 9. Reporter Harold J Adams can be reached at (812) 949-4028. CAMM: Defense seeks to restrict aid Continued from Page B1 A Jefferson Circuit Court judge has ordered a competency evaluation for Gregory O’Bryan, who is charged with mur- der in the 2010 death of 18-year-old Sullivan Uni- versity student Andrew Compton. After a confidential hearing Wednesday, Judge Mitch Perry grant- ed the prosecution’s re- quest for the evaluation, which was prompted by a review of O’Bryan’s med- ical records and an inter- view with police in which O’Bryan indicated he had received psychiatric treatment. Perry ordered that O’Bryan be evaluated and the two sides have a competency hearing by July 12. Assistant Common- wealth’s Attorney Tom Van De Rostyne said the prosecution hopes the evaluation doesn’t change O’Bryan’s No- vember trial date. Compton, of Carmel, Ind., has not been seen since Oct. 28, 2010. O’Bryan has said the teen died while the two had sex. He also admitted he had sex with Compton’s body and then put it in a garbage bin at Our Lady of Peace psychiatric hos- pital off Newburg Road. Police tracked the con- tents of the bin to a land- fill near Medora, Ind., and searched for the body for 10 days but found nothing. O’Bryan is charged with murder, sodomy, two counts of tampering with physical evidence and three counts of abuse of a corpse. He has plead- ed not guilty and could face the death penalty if convicted. Reporter Jason Riley can be reached at 584-2197. Slaying suspect faces test Competency is issue in death By Jason Riley [email protected] The Courier-Journal Gregory O’Bryan has said the teen died as they had sex. The Louisville Water Co. is increasing its partici- pation in Kentucky Derby Festival activities again this year, but it is making a conscious switch to a “greener” approach. The company expects to provide more than 13,000 gallons of its “Pure Tap” drinking water for the min- iMarathon/Marathon, Thunder Over Louisville and the Pegasus Parade. But the number of plas- tic bottles will be reduced. This year, the Derby Festi- val has ordered from the water company: » 78,000 eight-ounce bottles of Pure Tap. » 180,000 empty “com- postable” cups. » 10 Pure Tap fill sta- tions. » Two mobile Pure Tap “to-go” units. Runners/walkers along the mini-Marathon/mara- thon routes April 28 will no- tice many of the water stops (at least 10 locations) will offer seven-ounce cups of water instead of bottles. For the races, water company crews have tapped mains at the water stops and installed an above-ground sampling station. On race day, volun- teers will use potable res- taurant-style hoses to pull water straight from the main, through the hose and then into the cup. Volun- teers will fill up to 180,000 cups on race day. The cups are made of corn and compost. Elimi- nating many of the bottles also removes a fall hazard. The Pegasus Parade will feature two mobile water units that will allow parade participants to fill a cup or bottle. The initiative to “brand” what comes out of the tap began in 1996. The pro- gram includes reusable bottles, cups, pitchers, coolers and mobile units. Water Co. ‘greening’ up for fest The Courier-Journal The theme was “Through Children’s Eyes,” featuring the Louisville Youth Choir, poetry written by children during the Holocaust era and a one-person play about a child during the Holocaust. “We want to make sure the message is told from generation to generation,” said Matt Gold- berg, director of community relations for the Jewish Community of Louisville, which orga- nizes the annual event. Among the Louisville Holocaust survivors recently lost was Ann Klein, an Auschwitz sur- vivor who died in February. The commemora- tion was dedicated to her. Tricia Shelby, of Crescent Hill, sat with11- year-old daughter Olivia just before the com- memoration began Shelby’s 16-year-old daughter Cheyenne was performing with the Louisville Youth Choir. Shelby said the Holocaust has been discuss- ed within her family, and echoed the importance of remembering what happened when Nazi Ger- many and its allies murdered 6 million Jews. “It’s a part of who we are, whether we’re Jew- ish or not,” Shelby said. “We are all affected by this.’ As a small child, Fred Gross was interned in a French camp and now educates young people about the Holocaust. Young people are compas- sionate and understanding of the Holocaust, but that’s not enough, he said. “They need to know what happened so that it’s not repeated — but it is repeated, and they understand that,” said Gross, now 75, referring to genocides in Rwanda and Darfur. “You can’t stand on the sidewalk and watch it go by.” Rooks agreed. Before the ceremony, she said the lessons of the Holocaust were still relevant, referring to the same, more recent events as Gross. Ruby Bevan, 12, sat in the front row holding sheet music — she was to sing as part of The Temple Choir. She understood the reason for the commem- oration, she said. “The point is to never forget,” Ruby said. “We don’t want this happening again.” Reporter Joseph Lord can be reached at (502) 582- 4199.
