Holiday Campaign: A Dec. 29 Holiday Campaign story in the California section about Anaheim Achieves, an after-school program operated by the Anaheim Family YMCA, referred to the Boys and Girls Club of America as one of the program's local support groups. It is the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim that is a local partner. Also, Anaheim YMCA President and Chief Executive Paul Andresen was quoted as saying of the program, "it's only 20 to 30 kids out of the 4,000" who are helped. The 20 to 30 referred to Anaheim YMCA children who were attending an event related to YMCA programs.

Leave it to Don Roth to give new meaning to the words retire campaign debt and without shame. Roth quit as an Orange County supervisor March 1 and pleaded guilty to seven ethics violations for not reporting freebies from people who benefited from his votes. His sentence, which seemed fair, was a $50,000 fine, a three-year suspended term and 200 hours of community service. What definitely is not fair is how Roth is trying to wriggle out of that sentence.

Former Orange County Supervisor Don R. Roth, convicted last month of political ethics law violations, met Monday's deadline to pay half the $50,000 fine levied against him, officials said. Roth attorney Paul S. Meyer said "the majority" of the payment--and perhaps the entire amount--came from Roth's leftover campaign funds. But Meyer said he was not certain of the exact amount that came out of Roth's campaign account.
