Satan Worshipers Possible Suspects In Simon Slaying

Author: Rocco LaDuca   Source: Observer-Dispatch (NY)

Title: SATAN WORSHIPERS POSSIBLE SUSPECTS IN SIMON SLAYING

The last hours of Kimberly Simon’s life in 1985 were likely spent with a group of young men who worshiped the devil, tortured cats, used hallucinogenic drugs and sexually abused women, according to investigators who have been probing her homicide for the past 16 months.

Investigators still are awaiting final test results comparing DNA found on Simon’s body with DNA from several people of interest. One member of that group — Richard W. Miller Jr. — died recently, and a local attorney who questioned him in the years after Simon’s slaying described him as once being a knife-wielding youth with a chilling obsession toward death.

Court Ruling Says Amish Farmers Exempt From Livestock Registration Rules

Author: WSAU   Source: WSAU

Title: COURT RULING SAYS AMISH FARMERS EXEMPT FROM LIVESTOCK REGISTRATION RULES

A central Wisconsin judge says an Amish farmer does not have to register his livestock premise with the state, as required by a five-year-old law. Emanuel Miller Junior of Loyal said the law violates his religious beliefs. And in a ruling yesterday, Clark County Circuit Judge Jon Counsell said the state failed to prove that its need to protect food safety and animal health could not be achieved by adopting something less restrictive.

Assistant state veterinarian Paul McGraw expects his agency to appeal the ruling. But for now, it’s a victory for the Amish and other farmers who feared that mandatory premise registration would lead to the individual tagging of all livestock – something they called Satanic and the “mark of the beast.”

Ore. Faith-Healers Sentenced To Prison For Son's Death

Author: The Associated Press   Source: First Amendment Center

Title: ORE. FAITH-HEALERS SENTENCED TO PRISON FOR SON'S DEATH

The judge who sentenced a couple to prison yesterday for the death of their son says members of their church must quit relying on faith-healing when their children’s lives are at stake.

“The fact is, too many children have died unnecessarily — a graveyard full,” Judge Steven Maurer said. “This has to stop.”

Maurer spoke in a quiet, unemotional voice as he led up to his conclusion: Jeffrey and Marci Beagley each should serve 16 months in prison. Members of the Followers of Christ church who packed the courtroom sobbed.

Basic Food Sold Additive After Salmonella Found, FDA Says

Author: Jared A. Favole   Source: Wall street Journal Online

Title: BASIC FOOD SOLD ADDITIVE AFTER SALMONELLA FOUND, FDA SAYS

Basic Flavors Inc., the Las Vegas company at the center of a recall of more than 100 food products, continued to make and distribute food ingredients for about a month after it learned the bacteria salmonella was present at its processing facility, according to a Food and Drug Administration report.

The FDA last week recommended companies recall products, from chips to soups, that contain a commonly used additive made by Basic Food Flavors that tested positive for salmonella. The additive is mixed into foods to give them a meaty flavor.

'Archaeology': Priestess Tomb Unearthed On Crete

Author: Dan Vergano   Source: USA Today

Title: 'ARCHAEOLOGY': PRIESTESS TOMB UNEARTHED ON CRETE

An unearthed tomb on Crete reveals a dynasty of priestesses reigned on the isle during the "Dark Ages" of ancient Greece.

In an Archaeology magazine report, writer Eti Bonn-Muller details the results from last summer's excavation of a tomb at Orthi Petra at Eleutherna on Crete, where a team found the burials of a high priestess of Zeus and three acolytes this summer.

"People then may have considered them sorceresses, or intermediaries with the gods," Bonn-Muller says.

Barking Up The Wrong Sacred Tree

Author: Rick Koster   Source: The Day (CT)

Title: BARKING UP THE WRONG SACRED TREE

I think we have some pagans living in our part of town. Several, actually - and not all in one big, leafy communal house, either. They're sprinkled about the neighborhood like elf-dust.

Which is fine.

Pagans on the whole are a fairly interesting if occasionally goofy set of folks - whereas I'm just sour-tempered and my car is ugly and smashed into the backyard fence at a comical angle on a bed of empty beer cans. By comparison, "occasionally goofy" isn't a bad thing at all. Most of the "goofy" part comes via the names the pagans adopt to replace their given names.

Update: Reservist Accused Of Attacking Priest Won't Be Charged

Author: Tom Brennan   Source: The Tampa Tribune (FL)

Title: RESERVIST ACCUSED OF ATTACKING PRIEST WON'T BE CHARGED

Prosecutors will not pursue charges against a Marine reservist accused of beating a Greek Orthodox priest with a tire iron.

Reservist Jasen Bruce said he simply was defending himself from a man who propositioned him and grabbed his genitals.

Mike Sinacore, head of the felony division of the Hillsborough County state attorney's office, said his office reviewed the law, the evidence, the testimony of those involved and the arguments of Bruce's attorney.

It is "evident that we cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Bruce committed a crime and acted without legal justification," Sinacore said today.
