Van Wert teen’s murderer up for parole
From blockparole.com
April 12, 1974, Good
Friday, was a typical night in
the Felger home in Van Wert.
Cheryl Felger, 19, had made
dinner for her father and
17-year-old sister Kay. After
her mother’s death, the oldest
daughter assumed many of
her mother’s duties, includ-
ing cooking dinner. When
dinner was over, Felger pre-
pared to bike to a friend’s
house prior to a night out on
the town.
Felger had recently gradu-
ated from Van Wert High
School and was among the
top 10 students in a class
of 270 seniors. She was a
freshman at the Wright State
University-Lake Campus.
She did not know what she
wanted to do; however,
everyone who knew her was
sure she would be very suc-
cessful.
She kissed her father good-
bye and said good-bye to her
sister and left on her bike for

VAN WERT— The US
Department of Agriculture
expects a record year for
corn nationwide. A depart-
ment press release indicates
2 farmers intend to plant 92.2
3 million acres of corn for all

6 year and seven percent higher

1944, ranking just behind the
93.5 million acres planted in

IS NOT THE SAME

true. In fact, if you hold

RALEIGH, N.C. —
The cliche notwithstand-

foxholes.
In fact, atheists, agnos-
tics, humanists and other
assorted skeptics from the
Army’s Fort Bragg have
formed an organization in
a pioneering effort to win
recognition and ensure
fair treatment for nonbe-
lievers in the overwhelm-

nizer of Military Atheists
and Secular Humanists,
or MASH. “We’re also
in foxholes. That’s a big
one, right there.”
For now, the group
meets regularly in homes
and bars outside of Fort
Bragg, one of the big-
gest military bases in the
country. But it is going
through the long bureau-
cratic process to win offi-
cial recognition from the
Army as a distinct “faith”
group.
That would enable it
to meet on base, adver-
tise its gatherings and,
members say, serve more
effectively as a haven for
Maureen Teman
like-minded soldiers.
“People look at you dif-
ferently if you say you’re
an atheist in the Army,”
said Lt. Samantha Nicoll,
a West Point graduate who
in January attended her
first meeting of MASH.
“That’s extremely taboo.
I get a lot of questions if
I let it slip in conversa-
tion.”
The decision on rec-
ognition goes first to an
Army agency called the
Installation Management
Command and may be
reviewed after that by the
Army Chaplain Corps.
Neither agency returned
calls for comment. MASH
members said chaplains
at Fort Bragg have been
supportive of their effort.
Similar groups of non-
theists at about 20 U.S.
military bases around
the world are watch-
ing the outcome at Fort
Bragg in hopes it will
lead to their recognition,
too, said Jason Torpy,
president of the Military
Association of Atheists
and Freethinkers.

STATE/LOCAL
Marion Township Trustees
The Marion Township
Trustees held their regular
scheduled meeting on Monday
at the Marion Township Office
with the following mem-
bers present: Howard Violet,
Jerry Gilden and Joseph
Youngpeter.
The purpose of the meeting
was to pay bills and conduct
ongoing business. The minutes
of the previous meeting were
read and approved as read.
The trustees then reviewed the
bills and gave approval for 17
checks totaling $12,303.61.
Dick and Sonya Lee were
present to see if anything has
been done regarding their
water issue. After the trust-
ees did some checking it was
determined that this was not
a zoning issue but rather a
storm water issue which falls
under the County’s jurisdic-
tion. Rick Keller was present

Engineer’s Office and stated

passed out OBMV forms to

The township received a
letter from the Department of
Commerce Division of Liquor
Control stating that the Liquor
permit in the township will
expire on June 1 and if the town-
ship has any objection to it being
renewed it must do so by May 2.
The trustees had no objection so
nothing needs to be done.
He read a letter from the
Allen County Soil & Water
District regarding the Site
Review Program they are
implementing and the trustee
asked Kimmet to see if some-
one from their office could
attend the next meeting for
more explanation.
Let the minutes reflect that
a copy of the Zoning Board’s
decision on the rezoning of the
Miller property on Kill Road
was received and a public hear-
ing regarding this will be held
at 6:30 p.m. on April 11 at
the Marion Township office. A
legal notice will be published
regarding this.
It was decided that the 1997
Ford Crown Victoria that was
the previously used by the
police deptartment will be sold
at the April 11, 2011 meeting
by sealed bids. Anyone inter-
ested can send a bid to Marion

would like to possibly get a con-

ment regarding this issue.
He advised the trustees that
a BJA grant is available for
body armor for 2012 which he
will apply for.
In regards to replacing pres-
ent snow plow/dump trucks the
township has located two used
International trucks.
Trustee Youngpeter made
a motion to purchases a 1995
International 4900 truck with
snow plow and rear spreader
which was seconded by trustee
Gilden and passed unanimous-
ly.

Mericle Road.
The trustees then reviewed
the 2011 road program and
after some discussion it was

It’s the women, stupid
NEW YORK — Whether
the topic is Libya’s rebels
or Afghanistan’s “reconcili-
ation” with the Taliban, the
pivotal question is, or should
be: What about the women?
During my brief tenure as
a CNN anchor, I insistently
raised this question and was
consistently disappointed by
the answer, which more or
less went like this:
“Yes, well, the women.
Too bad about the women.
They’ll suffer.”
Women, and by extension
children, are what too many
have come to accept as “col-
lateral damage” in theaters
of war. We hate it, of course,
but what can one do? It isn’t
in our strategic interest to
save the women and chil-
dren of the world. Or, as
an anonymous senior White
House official recently told
The Washington Post:
“Gender issues are going
to have to take a back seat
to other priorities. There’s
no way we can be successful
if we maintain every special
interest and pet project. All
those pet rocks in our ruck-
sack were taking us down.”
Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, no stranger to the
importance of advancing
women’s rights, promptly
refuted the comment. Even
so, the anonymous spokes-
man’s opinion, though inart-
fully expressed, is hardly iso-
lated.
But what if this is a false
premise? What if saving
women from cultures that
treat them as chattel was in
our strategic and not just
moral interest? What if help-
ing women become equal
members of a society was
the most reliable route to our
own security?
One needn’t be a visionary
to accept this simple tenet as
not only probable but inescap-
it into the blue box. A clerk
doesn’t have to handle your
letter; it is in a big tub and
that tub of mail gets dumped
into a larger container as
it is placed on the truck to
travel to Toledo. Once off-
loaded in Toledo, the con-
tainer is put onto a loader
that picks up and dumps
all the mail onto a series of
conveyor belts. The letters
travel through a machine
that faces the letter, finds
and cancels the stamp and
can even do some sortation
to determine which piece of
equipment will sort the mail
further.
The mail is loaded onto
a conveyor which feeds an
MLOCR (multi line opti-
cal character reader). This
machine can read up to 5
lines of address and then
sorts the mail into a hun-
dred different bins and it
does this at 10 pieces per
second – that’s 36,000 per
hour. It only takes one per-
son to keep the conveyor
full of mail on one or two
machines and another emp-
ties the full trays of mail
that have been sorted. These
trays travel on another series
of conveyors and a machine
will read the barcode on the
tray and send it to the appro-
priate truck bay for dispatch
to its city of destination.
Please notice that no one
has handled your individual
piece of mail, yet.
Trucks take containers
full of trays to the airport,
truck terminal or to the dis-
tribution center for the city
your letter is destined for.
Let’s just say that the letter
is going to 1955 East 29th
Street, Brooklyn NY 11210
(my birthplace). When it
arrives at JFK, it is trans-
ported to the distribution
center in Long Island City
and then off to the Brooklyn
terminal. There, the mail is
sorted by another type of
machine that will sort the
mail right down to the order
ably true. Without exception,
every nation that oppresses
women is a failed and, there-
fore, dangerous nation.
This is not the stuff of
stunning revelation, but it is
often overlooked or mini-
mized in importance. More
typically pressing are armies
and artillery. The real fight
is in the trenches where men
historically have clashed to
resolve their differences.
Ironically perhaps to those
still waiting for the oceans
to recede and the planet to
heal, President George W.
Bush and Laura Bush always
understood the necessity of
including women in the peace
equation. Hence, the histor-
ic U.S.-Afghan Women’s
Council established in 2002
by Bush and Afghan President
Hamid Karzai.
At a conference last week
hosted by the former first cou-
ple — “Building Afghanistan’s
Future: Promoting Women’s
Freedom and Advancing
Their Economic Opportunity”
— the Bushes reiterated their
commitment to the women of
Afghanistan and their belief
that protecting women should
be at the core of our foreign
policy.
“We liberated Afghanistan
from the Taliban, because of
providing a safe haven for
al-Qaeda,” George Bush told
Fox News anchor Greta Van
Susteren. “I believed then
and believe now we have an
obligation to help this young
democracy in Afghanistan
survive — and thrive. And
one of the best and most
effective ways to do so is to
empower women.”
Such a simple concept,
empowering women. Except
that in a country where men
feel free to throw acid in the
faces of little girls trying to
attend school, it is not so sim-
ple. In a nation where child

knows that 1959 is on vaca-

Tray A, B, C, etc. Without
opening the tray, it is placed

heads out to his first stop. As
the carrier walks down 29th
Street, he fingers through the
letter mail to see how many
letters there are for the next
stop on his route. When he
reaches 1955, this will be the
first time since you placed
that letter in a mail box in
Delphos, that a human being
will touch that individual let-

duce a barcode that would
take it directly to Malverne

would never even see it.

Beam me up, Scottie. I’m
done here!
marriage and “honor killings”
are still accepted custom, it is
not so easy.
No one underestimates the
challenges of helping women
become equal participants in
a civil society only recent-
ly concocted. But allowing
progress to recede shouldn’t
be an option. Recent negotia-
tions between the Karzai gov-
ernment and the Taliban, in
which women’s rights could
be diluted, should have all of
us worried.
It is too bad, meanwhile,
that we are restricted in these
discussions by terminology
that rings of cliche. “Women’s
rights” sounds too much like
debates about abortion and
subsidized day care. What
we’re really talking about is
basic human rights. The free-
dom to work, to make deci-
sions about one’s own life,
to seek an education and to
be safe to walk on the streets
without a male escort. To be
fully human, in other words.
Anything less is terrorism
by any other name. The insan-
ity that sends jihadists to rain
hell on civilized nations is
the same that stones women
to death for failing to com-
port to primitive norms of
behavior.
As Clinton wrote in Time
magazine in 2001, “The
mistreatment of women in
Afghanistan was like an early
warning signal of the kind of
terrorism that culminated in
the attacks of September 11.”
Women are not collateral
damage in the fight for secu-
rity. They are not pet rocks in
a rucksack, nor are they side-
bars to the main story. They
are the story — and should
be the core of our foreign pol-
icy strategy in Afghanistan as
elsewhere.

the teams’ non-league baseball matchup Friday at Wildcat

DELPHOS — Doug
Geary’s Jefferson baseball
team had a tough one Thursday
night, losing to St. John’s in
eight innings.
Fortunately for the Wildcats,
they had no time to dwell on it
as they hosted Parkway in non-
conference action Friday night
at windy and chilly Wildcat
Field.
They built up a 5-2 lead
Tom Morris photo
after three innings and held off
the Panthers 5-4.
“We responded well.
We played with great effort
Thursday and I wasn’t sure
how we’d respond tonight but
we did,” Geary noted. “We
finished out the week well. We
got beat pretty good Monday
against Kalida and played well
last night and tonight. Overall,
we played good defense; it’s
just tough to field the ball with
the weather the way it is. Errors
will happen but we didn’t let
our mistakes get us down.”
Parkway coach Mike
Schumm was not pleased with
his team’s overall play.
“We were too inconsistent
offensively. We didn’t keep
hitting the whole game,” he
said. “We had the one bad
inning defensively where we
gave up the four runs and we
made some big base-running
mistakes. Jefferson gets a lot of
credit; they are a fine team and
they will win a lot of games.”
The Panthers (2-2) got an
unearned run in the first frame
against senior right-hander Ben
Babcock, with Derek Luth (hit
by a pitch, stolen base and
passed ball) scoring on a 2-out
error on a pickoff try at sec-
ond, trying to get Dylan Baker
(walk) stealing the base. He
moved to third on the play but
was left stranded there.
Parkway left a runner on
first in the next frame.
The Wildcats struck back
with a 4-spot in the home half
against Parkway right-hander
Connor Jutte (0-1). With one
down, Justin Rode got on via an
error and Babcock walked. A
double to right-center field —
with the wind blowing toward
that area of the park — by
Jordan Vorst plated Rode to tie
it at 1. With Seth Wollenhaupt
pinch-running for Babcock,
he beat a throw home from
shortstop Riley Bransteter on
a bouncer by Evan Neubert to
take the lead for good. With
runners on the corners, Drew
Kortokrax ripped a single to
left to get Vorst in and put
Neubert at third, from where
he scored on Nik Moore’s sac-
rifice fly to left for the fourth
run.
Parkway got one back in
the third on a 1-out single by
Luth and a double to left cen-
ter by Bransteter. However,
the Wildcats turned an inning-
ending twin-killing: Baker
bounced out to shortstop Moore
and then first baseman Curtis
Miller’s relay to third was in
time to double-up Bransteter.
The Red and White got
their final run in the home half.
With one out, Miller went yard
to the left of the scoreboard in
left-center field (around 362
feet) for a 5-2 score.
With junior Jeff Schleeter
— the winning pitcher —
on the mound for Delphos,
Parkway got their leadoff guy
in the fourth: John Rollins; on
via a single and a wild pitch
moved him up. An out later,
Johnathan Fent bounced to
Moore, whose alert play easily
got Rollins out at third.
The Wildcats got a 1-out hit
batter (Kortokrax) and a line
single by Moore in the home
half. However, Jutte retired the
next two batters with no more
damage.
Parkway had another threat
stymied in the fifth as Chris
Brazle got a 1-out single
and stole second. However,
Schleeter retired the next two
batters.
Corey Decker got the next
six outs for the Panthers,
including a double play in the
sixth.
Parkway made it interest-
ing in the sixth. They pieced
together three hits and two
Jefferson errors to score twice:

Spring into reading at the library during National Library Week

Spring is officially here!
As you get your gardens,
lawns and flower beds
cleaned up and ready to plant
for this year, remember, the
library has a large selection
of gardening books that you
will find helpful. You’ll find
everything from how deep
to plant your vegetables and
flowers to identifying that
pesky worm or insect that
attacks your plants every
year.
We still have lots of tax
forms for anyone who hasn’t
prepared their taxes yet. Staff
can copy those hard to find
forms from the internet for
you.
The week of April 11-16
is NATIONAL LIBRARY
WEEK. On April 11, Anne
Stratton will present a pro-
gram on pottery and porcelain
markings. On April 12, there
will be a special puppet pro-
gram for children.
On April 14, Paula
Schumm will present a pro-
gram with several stringed
instruments. Fines will be
dropped for the entire week.
Be sure to stop in the library
that week.
8 DVD titles were
added to our collection this
month:

Love You More — Lisa
Gardner
Tough-gal detective D.D.
Warren is grappling with
her own personal issues
when she is assigned to a
case that makes her life seem
easy. State trooper Tessa
Leoni overcame a difficult
childhood and alcoholism
to become a loving single
mom to her daughter, Sophie,
and a respected police offi-
cer. Now, after three years of
marriage to merchant mariner
Brian, everything seems to
be going great. So why is
D.D. called to a crime scene
where Brian’s been mur-
dered, Tessa’s nearly beaten
to death, and Sophie’s miss-
ing? Things get even more
interesting when Tessa con-
fesses to the murder but has
no idea where her daughter is.
D.D. knows that Tessa’s spin-
ning a web of lies, but getting
to the truth will take quite a
bit of work.
The House By The Fjord
– Rosalind Laker
When Anna Harvik goes
to Norway in 1946, this beau-
tiful country is still recov-
ering from five cruel years
of Nazi occupation. Her late
husband was a pilot in the
Royal Norwegian Air Force
and she has come to visit his
homeland and to meet his
family. She stays with Molly,
who with other English war-
brides, makes her welcome.
On her first day there, a law-
yer, Alex Ringstad, comes
with what is vir-
tually a com-
mand from
her father-in-
law that she
accept owner-
ship of an old
house that has
a unique his-
tory. In spite
of many diffi-
culties, and fac-
ing up in those
Northern climes
to the coldest
winter in liv-
ing memory, she
finds love and much more
in the country that becomes
her own.
Gideon’s Sword
Douglas Preston & Lincoln
Child
At 12, Gideon Crew wit-
nessed his father, a world-
class mathematician, accused
of treason and gunned down.
At twenty-four, summoned to
his dying mother’s bedside,
Gideon learned that his father
was framed and deliberately
slaughtered. With her last
breath, she begged her son
to avenge him. Now, Gideon
crafts a one-time mission of
vengeance, aimed at the per-
petrator of his father’s destruc-
tion. His plan is meticulous,
spectacular, and success-
ful. But from the shadows,
someone is watching. A very
powerful someone, who is
impressed by Gideon’s special
skills. Someone who has need
of just such a renegade. And
for Gideon, this operation may
be only the beginning…
Real Life & Liars –
Kristina Riggle
For Mirabelle Zielinski’s
children, happiness always
seems to be just out of reach.
Her polished older daughter
clings to a stale marriage. Her
son, so creative, is a down-
in-the-dumps songwriter with
the worst taste in women.
And the “baby,” who lives
life on a whim, is now reluc-
tantly pregnant and hitched
to a man twice her age. On
the weekend of their parents’
anniversary party, lies will
be revealed, hearts broken,
and love found. And the big-
gest shock may come from
Mirabelle, who has a secret
that will change everything.
This Golden Land –
Barbara Wood
Eighteen-year-old Hannah
Conroy has always dreamed
of following in her father’s
footsteps as a healer. But in
nineteenth-century England,
the medical profession is
closed to women. She sees
midwifery as a back door
into that world. Seeking to
escape a possible murder con-
viction in England, Hannah’s
world is turned upside down
as she boards a boat bound
for Melbourne. Arriving dur-
ing a period
of enormous
change in
Australia,
Hannah faces
a myriad of
challenges.
Not only
must she
fight for
acceptance
as a medi-
cal profes-
sional, but
she falls in
love with
and must decide between two
men: Neal Scott, an American
photographer seeking a new
life in Australia, and Jamie
O’Brien, a rowdy outlaw flee-
– ing arrest.
NON-FICTION
277.3 Plain Wisdom
– Cindy Woodsmall &
Miriam Flaud
Best-selling novelist Cindy
Woodsmall might seem to
have little in common with
Miriam Flaud, a woman
immersed in the culture of
Old Order Amish. But with
nine children and almost sixty
years of marriage between
them, Cindy and Miriam
both have found the secrets
to facing life with strength
and grace. Whether enduring
financial setbacks, celebrating
new babies and times of pros-
perity, grieving the crushing
losses in the deaths of family
and friends, or facing disap-
pointments with their respec-
tive communities—through
it all they find guidance for
each day by looking to God.
The two women welcome
you into their unique friend-
ship. You’ll also gain a rare
glimpse into the traditions
and ways of the Amish as
Miriam recalls special occa-
sions and shares family reci-
pes throughout the book.
551.46 Moby- Duck –
Donovan Hohn
When the author heard of
the mysterious loss of a load of
28,800 Chinese-manufactured
plastic bath toys at sea, he fig-
ured he would interview a few
oceanographers, talk to a few
beachcombers, and read up
on Arctic science and geog-
raphy. “But questions can be
like ocean currents: wade in
too far, and they carry you
away.” Hohn’s accidental
odyssey pulls him into the
secretive world of shipping
conglomerates, the daring
work of Arctic researchers,
the lunatic risks of maver-
ick sailors, and the shadowy
world of Chinese toy facto-
ries. Moby-Duck is a journey
into the heart of the sea and
an adventure through science,
myth, the global economy,
and some of the worst weath-
er imaginable. With each new
discovery, Hohn learns of
loose thread, and with each
successive chase, he comes
closer to understanding where
his castaway quarry comes
from and where it goes.

FROM THE
CHILDREN’S CORNER:
Easter
This simple and ador-
able board book is packed
with entertainment for little
readers. It is a ‘Slide and
Find’ which means it has lit-
tle doors that slide to reveal
something behind the door.
On one page, it’s colors, with
different flowers behind the
doors, and on another it’s ani-
mal babies and moms. The
youngest readers will enjoy
sliding the doors to see what’s
behind, while those a little
older will enjoy the concept
being taught and answering
the questions. And everyone
will enjoy the bright, colorful
illustrations.
Mother Goose
Picture Puzzles by Will
Hillenbrand
Hillenbrand has created the
perfect combination: nursery
rhymes and picture puzzles or
a rebus. On one page, you’ll
find the nursery rhyme with
pictures taking the place of
some words and on the oppo-
site an illustration with clues
to tell you what word the
picture takes the place of. For
example, in ‘Little Boy Blue’
the haystack is replaced with
a picture of a haystack. The
illustrations are charming –
this book teaches and enter-
tains at the same time.
Big Babies, Little Babies
by Lorrie Mack and Penny
Smith
30 different baby animals,
both enormous and petite, are
given a two page spread with
pictures and text about each
mother and baby pair. From
eagles to ostriches to clown
fish, readers will discover a sur-
plus of information and photos.
Some baby animals are cared
for by both parents, some by a
mother, some by a father and
some by neither. Other infor-
mation includes how the baby
is fed, its habitat, predators and
how it protects itself.
The Fences Between Us,
Diary Of Piper Davis by
Kirby Larson
Like The Willow Tree,
Diary Of Lydia Amelia
Pierre by Lois Lowry
New titles have been pub-
lished in the very popular
‘Dear America’ series. Piper
Davis’ story begins with
the events of Pearl Harbor
where her brother is stationed
aboard the USS Arizona and
moves to the Japanese intern-
ment camps where she and
her father moves to be close
to the Japanese Baptist con-
gregation he pastors. Lydia’s
story takes place during
WW1. She and her brother
are orphaned by the Spanish
flue and sent to live in a
Shaker community, where
her brother runs away from.
These are also available on
CD and more new titles are
promised in the future.
The Romeo And Juliet
Code by Phoebe Stone
Felicity is abruptly moved
from her home in London
across the pond to Maine to
stay for the remainder of the
war with her Gram, Aunt
Miami and Uncle Gideon.
The only contact she has
with her parents is by let-
ter which her uncle whisks
away the second they arrive.
When she finally gets to see
the letters, they are coming
from Portugal and written in
code! Why are her parents in
Portugal – closer to battles
of WW2? Also living with
Gram is handsome Derek.
Can Felicity and Derek crack
the Romeo and Juliet code
together?

Libyan rebels becoming more disciplined

By BEN HUBBARD
and RYAN LUCAS
Associated Press
AJDABIYA, Libya —
Something new has appeared
at the Libyan front: a sem-
blance of order among rebel
forces.
Rebels without training
— sometimes even without
weapons — have rushed
in and out of fighting in a
free-for-all for weeks, repeat-
edly getting trounced by
Moammar Gadhafi’s more
heavily armed forces. But
on Friday only former mili-
tary officers and the lightly
trained volunteers serving
under them are allowed on
the front lines. Some are
recent arrivals, hoping to
rally against forces loyal to
the Libyan leader who have
pushed rebels back about 100
miles this week.
The better organized
fighters, unlike some of their
predecessors, can tell the
difference between incom-
ing and outgoing fire. They
know how to avoid stick-
ing to the roads, a weak-
ness in the untrained forces
that Gadhafi’s troops have
exploited. And they know
how to take orders.
“The problem with the
young untrained guys is
they’ll weaken us at the
front, so we’re trying to use
them as a backup force,” said
Mohammed Majah, 33, a for-
mer sergeant.
“They don’t even know
how to use weapons. They
have great enthusiasm, but
that’s not enough now,” he
said.
Majah said the only people
at the front now are former
soldiers, “experienced guys
who have been in reserves,
and about 20 percent are
young revolutionaries who
have been in training and are
in organized units.”
The greater organiza-
tion was a sign that mili-
tary forces that split from the
regime to join the rebellion
were finally taking a greater
role in the fight after weeks
trying to organize. Fighters
cheered Friday as one of their
top commanders — former
Interior Minister Abdel-
Fattah Younis — drove by in
a convoy toward the front.
It was too early to say
if the improvements will tip
the fight in the rebels’ favor.
They have been struggling
to exploit the opportunity
opened by international air-
strikes hammering Gadhafi’s
forces since March 19.
In a sign the strikes may be
eroding Gadhafi’s resilience,
his government is trying to
hold talks with the U.S.,
Britain and France in hopes
of ending the air campaign,
said Abdul-Ati al-Obeidi, a
former Libyan prime minister
who has served as a Gadhafi
envoy during the crisis. “We
are trying to find a mutual
solution,” he told Britain’s
Channel 4 News on Friday.
British officials met with
Mohammed Ismail, a Libyan
government aide who hap-
pened to be in London visit-
ing relatives, and told him
Gadhafi must quit, two people
familiar with the issue said
Friday. The two demanded
anonymity to discuss details.
The opposition said Friday
in Benghazi, its de facto cap-
ital, that it will agree to a
cease-fire if Gadhafi pulls his
military forces out of cities
and allows peaceful protests
against his regime.
The rebel condition is that
“the Gadhafi brigades and
forces withdraw from inside
and outside Libyan cities to
give freedom to the Libyan
people to choose,” said
Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, head of
the opposition’s interim gov-
erning council. “The world
will see that they will choose
freedom.”
He spoke at a press con-
ference with U.N. envoy
Abdelilah Al-Khatib.
Al-Khatib met Libyan offi-
cials in Tripoli on Thursday
before holding talks with reb-
els in hopes of reaching a
political solution.
The U.N. resolution that
authorized international air-
strikes against Libya called
for Gadhafi and the rebels
to end hostilities. Gadhafi
announced a cease-fire
immediately but has shown
no sign of heeding it.
His forces continue to
attack rebels in the east,
which is largely controlled
by the opposition, and have
besieged the only major
rebel-held city in the west,
Misrata.
Misrata has been shelled
by tanks and artillery for
days, said a doctor in a city
hospital who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity out of fear
of reprisals. Many people
have been killed, including
eight since Thursday, he said.
He said Gadhafi brigades
control the port and a main
street, but rebels control the
heart of the city.
At the main front, which
has moved back and forth in
a fringe between the rebel-
held east and Gadhafi-ruled
west, the rebels’ losses this
week underlined the inferior-
ity of their equipment, train-
ing and organization, com-
pared to the regime’s.

Tucson shooting victim honored with 9/11 memory

By AMANDA LEE MYERS
Associated Press
ORO VALLEY, Ariz. —
You think of Christina-Taylor
Green when you see the patch
of dirt where she scooped
grounders at second base in
Canyon del Oro Little League.
You think of the youngest
victim of the Tucson shoot-
ings when you see the batter’s
box where she knocked line
drives.
And you think of her when
you see the 9-foot, 11-inch-tall
silver statue of an angel just
beyond the outfield fence.
“It’s going to serve as a
daily reminder to us that we
had the privilege of knowing
Christina,” said John Ward,
who coached her for two
years.
The statue was scheduled to
be unveiled at a ceremony on
Friday, the start of the season.
The angel’s hand extends
out, its robes appearing to blow
in the wind. It is intended to be
a symbol of peace after the Jan.
8 shooting that killed five oth-
ers and wounded 13, including
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
The statue’s height holds
added significance because the
numbers 9 and 11 are promi-
nent in Christina-Taylor’s life.
She was born on Sept. 11,
2001 — the day of the terrorist
attacks — and was featured in
a book about other children
born that day.
Besides a 5 1/2-foot long
fragment of an I-beam from
ground zero, the Freedom’s
Steadfast Angel of Love also
incorporates a 3 1/2-foot-
long piece of steel from the
Pentagon and a large rock from
the Flight 93 crash site, sculp-
tor Lei Hennessy-Owen said.
“It’s beautiful,” said shoot-
ing victim Susan Hileman, 59,
who was holding Christina-
Taylor’s hand when a gun-
man opened fire at a meet and
greet held by Giffords outside
a supermarket. Hileman had
taken her to the event because
the little girl said she was inter-
ested in politics.
Hileman and other sur-
vivors as well as Christina-
Taylor’s parents and brother
plan to attend the ceremony at
James D. Kriegh Park, where
Christina-Taylor donned a for-
est green and bright yellow
baseball uniform to play for
the Pirates.
Ward said he will always
remember her as a no-non-
sense, competitive player who
had the team’s most RBIs and
became a leader for the other
players — even though they
were all boys.
Today, there are eight girls
in the league, up from three last

were on the floor of the front
seat of the car. I heard a faint
scream. I did not look back or
get out of the car. I saw Tope
coming back to the car and
he was breathing heavy. He
told me she was dead. I saw
the knife in Tope’s hand with
blood on it.”
According to Heckert,
they left the scene and pro-
ceeded back to Decatur. At
the first bridge, Tope threw
the knife into a little creek.
They continued on and went
to a trailer park where Tope
washed his hands off in a
lake. After arriving back in
Decatur, Tope washed his
hands again as well as his
shirt at a car wash. They both
washed the car thoroughly.
Tope asked Heckert for a cig-
arette because he had lost his
package of Pall Malls.
Heckert would be arrested
the following Wednesday
after his car was identified
by witnesses at the original
crime scene in Van Wert.
Mr. Felger first learned
of the possible whereabouts
of his daughter from a Fort
Wayne television newscast.
The newscast said a body
had been found in a field.
He immediately drove to the
houses of the two friends his
daughter was supposed to be
with the prior night. Neither
one of them had seen her. He
called Van Wert police and
the Adam’s County Sheriff
and made the drive to Indiana
just as he had done to iden-
tify his wife four years prior
after a car accident. When
he arrived, he identified the
body as that of his 19-year-
old daughter. She had been
stabbed 96 times.
The Trial
Soon after Heckert’s
arrest, he agreed to testify
against Tope. In exchange
for his testimony, he was
allowed to plead guilty to
second-degree murder and a
sentence of 10-25 years in
prison, which could not be
suspended. Heckert detailed
all the facts of the case to the
testified. He stated Felger had
sustained six different types
of wounds. They consisted
of:
• 10 superficial slashing
wounds
• 10 superficial stab
wounds
• 58 deeper stab wounds
• One bad horizontal slash
wound across the chest cav-
ity
• 15 superficial wounds on
her hands
• Two penetration wounds
that struck body organs
Pan also made it clear
Felger did not die quickly.
“She died less than one half
hour after receiving the lung
wounds,” stated Pan. “Those
wounds were inflicted with
great force.” He also said
Cheryl died of “loss of
blood,” made worse by the
chest wounds which would
have made it difficult to
breath.
The prosecuting attorney
had a massive amount of evi-
dence including the murder
weapon, the missing pack of
Pall Mall cigarettes, the foot-
prints of Tope in the mud at
the murder scene as well as
blood evidence. They also
had a prisoner who testi-
fied that while in the Adams
County Jail, he heard Tope
say to another prisoner, “I
killed that bitch.”
Some of the most damning
evidence may have come from
Tope’s good friend Daniel
Thornton. On Easter Sunday,
two days after the murder,
Tope went to Thornton and
told him that “I am in a lot
of trouble. We killed that girl
from Van Wert.” Thornton
told how Tope read the news-
paper and watched the TV
newscasts and kept saying,
“We might get out of this yet.
They have no new clues.” He
described how Tope retraced
the murder scene with
Thornton in the car and tried
to find the lost pack of ciga-
rettes and the murder weapon
he had thrown off the bridge.
On the way home, Thornton
said Tope told him, “I had to
