Clubs and organizations Mariemont is considering authorizing deer hunters to kill coyotes when they see them. Mayor Dan Policastro said. lndiun Hill has already allowed hunters to shoot coyotes. and police there and other suburban cities hunt coyotes whenever they receive reports ·of aggressive behavior. Fifteen coyotes have been killed in Indian Hill by hunters and police this year. "Development around us has kind of pushed them into our wooded areas," Schlie said. Coyotes migrated to Ohio from the West and have thrived in a state where they have no natural predators. Their main source of food is rodents and small mammals, such as red folies. "The only things that would kill them are cars and people," Schlie said. Coyotes have a natural fear of people and rarely · attack them , but cats and small dogs are more vulnerable .

Clubs and organizations Mariemont is considering authorizing deer hunters to kill coyotes when they see them. Mayor Dan Policastro said. lndiun Hill has already allowed hunters to shoot coyotes. and police there and other suburban cities hunt coyotes whenever they receive reports ·of aggressive behavior. Fifteen coyotes have been killed in Indian Hill by hunters and police this year. "Development around us has kind of pushed them into our wooded areas," Schlie said. Coyotes migrated to Ohio from the West and have thrived in a state where they have no natural predators. Their main source of food is rodents and small mammals, such as red folies. "The only things that would kill them are cars and people," Schlie said. Coyotes have a natural fear of people and rarely · attack them , but cats and small dogs are more vulnerable .

(Johnson's victory sparked a search for a "great white hope"· who would reclaim the title; Jess Willard accomplished the feat in 1915.) On this date: In 1776, the British suffered a major defeat in the Battle of Trenton during the Revolutionary War. In 1799, former President George Washington was eulogized by Col.

"It has a basic melody that obviously speaks to people in this world who suffer from stress, aggression, lack of confidence.'' · As a result of the CD's success, the 875-year-old abbey, located.1n a sleepy hamlet about half an hour's drive from the Austrian capital, is drawing more visitors. · · It was already a popular tourist attraction before the CD release. and fans are now sending e-mails saying the album helped them through hard times or changed their · lives.

President-elect Obama 's designation of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., as his intended secretary of state creates a vacancy in her Senate seat, which New York Gov. David A. Paterson must now fill by an appointment that will last through 2010. Caroline Kennedy, ,the. daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy, has indicated that she aspires to the job. In a way, her aspiration is natural enough. Her father held a Senate seat, and .so (later) did her uncle, the late Robert Kennedy (in New York) . New Yorkers are certainly accustomed to having a Kennedy in a high-level position. But that .hardly answers the question whether Ms . Kennedy is · qualified for it. She has never held an elected political pO'sition in her life , and therefore has no record by which her positions on critical issues, or her innate political skills, can be judged. She is a serious canrlidate for the position solely by virtue of her membership m the Kennedy family, which has been providing the country with politkal leaders for a long lime. And that raises the question whether such membership is, in ·and of definitely including members of his family, over the years, and who are therefore inclined in his favor from the start.

It's during these sessions - held at various times during the day start· ing at 5: 15 a.m. - that the men. many of them young. don white robes and silently slip into church to sing the simple Latin lyrics that date back thousands of years.

In the evenings. silence prevails in the abbey. which sits in the Vienna woods. The abbey came to the attention of Universal last February, when the monks followed the suggestion of.a friend who lives in London to submit their music to the company, which was searching for Gregorian singers. Within weeks, the Cistercian singers had a recording deal. Some of the monks were concerned about how their sacred songs would 'be marketed. A few of the younger men worried thatthe media would portray them as a "boy group." "We don 't want to sell ourselves tbat was important to us from the start." said Johannes Paul Chavanne, a monk at the monastery.

The monks have some experience being the center of attention. Pope Benedict XVI visited the abbey in September 2007. and Mother Teresa had also traveled there. In late ' October, former Iran ian Pre,s ident Mohammad Khatami, who was in Austria for a conference on interreligious dialogue, also visited. And the monastery is hardly cut off from the world. The monks work in about 20 parishes in the area and teach about 180 students at its theological academy. Heiligenkreuz can also claim a Hollywood connection. German filmmaker Florian Henckel von · Donnersmarck. who won an Oscar for the 2006. movie "The Lives of Others ." is the abbot's nephew and wrote the award-winning script during a stay in t.he monastery. Universal declined to disclose sales figures for the CD. The proceeds are being used to supporr priest~·in­ training who come to Heiligenkreuz from developing countries. . Wallner says the monastery has resisted lucrative concert offers in places as far afield as California, Japan and Brazil. Their only stage will be in their monastery. "We don't sing to become rich or famous, and we don't sing to sing well." Wallner said. "We sing to praise God.''

The farm now houses the seventh genen1tions of Circles. This was the first summer of the new abode and I was house si tting. Dreamily I went back to my childhOod days.

They seemed to say, "come on. come on. come on." instead of ding-dong. dingdong , and ding-dong . I looked down the hill to where the old house stood. Like so many other Circle children. I was born and raised here . The house consisted of six rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs . It was so cold in the winter with snow blowing through the windowsills and so hot in the summer unoer the tin roof. On the front of the house was a huge front porch enshadowed by four large maple trees. This was the gathering spot or the family room. The back porch ran the full length of the house and there was an open-air laundry room, the barbershop. and my p,layhou se. At some date. two rooms were added to the dwelling for great gran\lma and great grandfather. John and Sophia. They purchased the 88-acre farm after her father. Mr. Fredrick Strohmeyer, passed in 1890. Under the house was the cellar. This was filled with jar upon jar of homemade fruits. jelly and vegetables. In the fall. it was a beautiful sight to behold. to stand back and look at the she.lves of splendor. Huge tO-gallon crock jars held pickled corn and sauerkraut. There also were two potato bins here and Dad's old workbench. My girlfriend and I used to sneak down the cellar steps and consume jars of · peaches and homemade root beer. I remember hearing of the big snow in 1950 when the cellar steps were drifted over. This was soon shoveled out as the family's food supply had been cut off. I blinked my eyes and there ·appeared the out buildings. trees. and bushes around the old home. Grandma had a "green thumb" and grew Paul Scarlet climber roses and every flower that you could name . She would cut slips from the roses and could starr new bushes by putting mason jars over them after they were in the ground. The coal house sat to the left of the house under two October pear trees. Granddad Sullivan purchased the trees from a traveling fruit salesman. Behind the coalhouse. there was a large dog lot. for the foxhounds and then later the coonhounds. The rabbit hatchery stOod near by. W.~ had 44 rabbits at one time. We children had morning chores of cutting their daily grass. We also got the old lettuce and cabbage leaves from the A&P store in Pomeroy. The strawberry .patch \Vas also located below the coalhouse. It was a rather large one of about two acres. I used to ride the horse while the strawberries were being cultivated. Dad sold the strawberries for a dime a box and the workers were paid two cents a box to pick them. The hog pens were located also below the coalhouse. This was .an area that caught all the over flow form the pond. Here I made mud pies and topped.them with bright yellow dandelions. Mom and I also picked mustard greens here. Behind the house set the outhouse and the smokehouse. You could always smell the linger of salt and smoke. These two buildmgs were often moved around the back yard. In days gone by. my Dad told of helping m.o ve many buildings , including barns and houses on the neighbonng farms. . . Grandma's hen house was the next stop. It had a fencedin area, which we call the chicken yard. Roosting platforms and nesting boxes filled the house. Glass eggs or old marble doorknobs could be found in the nests. She fed mash that came in colored or print sacks bought from the Bashan store. We tried to match the prints to get enough of the same print to make towels and aprons . Cherry, plum, Quincy, pear and apple trees ad()med the yard. We used to pull the gu~ from the plum trees and P.Ut 11 on sttcks.' We use the sticks. as arrows to play like Indians. Later we had chestnut trees that were roasted in the . · fall.

Day. · Today's Highlight in History: · · One hundred years ago, on Dec. 26. 1908, Jack Johnson became the first African-American boxer to win the world heavyweight championship as he defeated Canadian Tommy Bums in Sydney, Australia. (Johnson's victory sparked a search for a "great white hope"· who would reclaim the title; Jess Willard accomplished the feat in 1915.) On this date: In 1776, the British suffered a major defeat in the Battle of Trenton during the Revolutionary War. In 1799, former President George Washington was eulogized by Col. Henry Lee as, "first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen." In 1917, during World War I, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation authorizing the government to take over operation of the nation's railroads. In 1941, Winston Churchill became the first British prime ffiinister to address a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress. · · Thought for Today : "What you cannot find on earth is not worth seeking." - Norman Douglas, Scottish author ( 1868-1952).

It was also the top classi<:al album in the United States and Canada , wllere it was released as "Chant: )Music for the Soul." It led the pop charts in Belgium and Poland and reached No. J in the album charts in Austria. A special edition was recently released that Includes chants sung during !he Christmas season. : "I get the sense this music is able to fill a vacuum within a lot of (ieople ," said the · Rev. Karl Wallner, one of the Cistercian abbey 's 74 monks. "It has a basic melody that obviously speaks to people in this world who suffer from stress, aggression, lack of confidence.'' · As a result of the CD's success, the 875-year-old abbey, located.1n a sleepy hamlet about half an hour's drive from the Austrian capital, is drawing more visitors. · · It was already a popular tourist attraction before the CD release. and fans are now sending e-mails saying the album helped them through hard times or changed their · lives. Reservation · requests at the monastery's modest guest house have shot up. "When the monks sing, the chant opens our hearts," writes Abbot Gregor Henckel DonnersiJiarck in the booklet accompanying the Christmas season album.

President-elect Obama 's designation of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., as his intended secretary of state creates a vacancy in her Senate seat, which New York Gov. David A. Paterson must now fill by an appointment that will last through 2010. Caroline Kennedy, ,the. daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy, has indicated that she aspires to the job. In a way, her aspiration is natural enough. Her father held a Senate seat, and .so (later) did her uncle, the late Robert Kennedy (in New York) . New Yorkers are certainly accustomed to having a Kennedy in a high-level position. But that .hardly answers the question whether Ms . Kennedy is · qualified for it. She has never held an elected political pO'sition in her life , and therefore has no record by which her positions on critical issues, or her innate political skills, can be judged. She is a serious canrlidate for the position solely by virtue of her membership m the Kennedy family, which has been providing the country with politkal leaders for a long lime. And that raises the question whether such membership is, in ·and of definitely including members of his family, over the years, and who are therefore inclined in his favor from the start.

It's during these sessions - held at various times during the day start· ing at 5: 15 a.m. - that the men. many of them young. don white robes and silently slip into church to sing the simple Latin lyrics that date back thousands of years. That daily routine includes getting up at daybreak to follow St. Benedict 's rules of "ora et labora'" - pray and worl\. (The Cistercian tradition has its roots in the Rule of St. Benedict.) In the evenings. silence prevails in the abbey. which sits in the Vienna woods. The abbey came to the attention of Universal last February, when the monks followed the suggestion of.a friend who lives in London to submit their music to the company, which was searching for Gregorian singers. Within weeks, the Cistercian singers had a recording deal. Some of the monks were concerned about how their sacred songs would 'be marketed. A few of the younger men worried thatthe media would portray them as a "boy group." "We don 't want to sell ourselves tbat was important to us from the start." said Johannes Paul Chavanne, a monk at the monastery. However, Wallner said that Universal was sensitive to their concerns and respectfu). of the rei igious atmosphere of tne abbey during recording there . "In the monastery. everything is uncomplicated.'' said Chavanne. 25. who grew up in Vienna and joined the order a little over two years ago. The monks have some experience being the center of attention. Pope Benedict XVI visited the abbey in September 2007. and Mother Teresa had also traveled there. In late ' October, former Iran ian Pre,s ident Mohammad Khatami, who was in Austria for a conference on interreligious dialogue, also visited. And the monastery is hardly cut off from the world. The monks work in about 20 parishes in the area and teach about 180 students at its theological academy. Heiligenkreuz can also claim a Hollywood connection. German filmmaker Florian Henckel von · Donnersmarck. who won an Oscar for the 2006. movie "The Lives of Others ." is the abbot's nephew and wrote the award-winning script during a stay in t.he monastery. Universal declined to disclose sales figures for the CD. The proceeds are being used to supporr priest~·in­ training who come to Heiligenkreuz from developing countries. . Wallner says the monastery has resisted lucrative concert offers in places as far afield as California, Japan and Brazil. Their only stage will be in their monastery. "We don't sing to become rich or famous, and we don't sing to sing well." Wallner said. "We sing to praise God.''

Sue HAGER II was a beautiful Sunday morning in June. as I was watering the flowers on th~ front porch of my nephew's new home. The hou se stood in the middle of the old . orchard on my fami ly farm. The farm now houses the seventh genen1tions of Circles. This was the first summer of the new abode and I was house si tting. Dreamily I went back to my childhOod days. As I turned around to the west, looking at Carmel Road. I saw that no one was walki~g down the road on their way to Sunday schooJ . I listened and heard nothing but quiet. lt was nine o'clock and not one church bell was ringing.ln days of old. one could hear the bells of Morning Star, Eagle Ridge. and Carmel Church at the same time . They seemed to say, "come on. come on. come on." instead of ding-dong. dingdong , and ding-dong . I looked down the hill to where the old house stood. Like so many other Circle children. I was born and raised here . The house consisted of six rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs . It was so cold in the winter with snow blowing through the windowsills and so hot in the summer unoer the tin roof. On the front of the house was a huge front porch enshadowed by four large maple trees. This was the gathering spot or the family room. The back porch ran the full length of the house and there was an open-air laundry room, the barbershop. and my p,layhou se. At some date. two rooms were added to the dwelling for great gran\lma and great grandfather. John and Sophia. They purchased the 88-acre farm after her father. Mr. Fredrick Strohmeyer, passed in 1890. Under the house was the cellar. This was filled with jar upon jar of homemade fruits. jelly and vegetables. In the fall. it was a beautiful sight to behold. to stand back and look at the she.lves of splendor. Huge tO-gallon crock jars held pickled corn and sauerkraut. There also were two potato bins here and Dad's old workbench. My girlfriend and I used to sneak down the cellar steps and consume jars of · peaches and homemade root beer. I remember hearing of the big snow in 1950 when the cellar steps were drifted over. This was soon shoveled out as the family's food supply had been cut off. I blinked my eyes and there ·appeared the out buildings. trees. and bushes around the old home. Grandma had a "green thumb" and grew Paul Scarlet climber roses and every flower that you could name . She would cut slips from the roses and could starr new bushes by putting mason jars over them after they were in the ground. The coal house sat to the left of the house under two October pear trees. Granddad Sullivan purchased the trees from a traveling fruit salesman. Behind the coalhouse. there was a large dog lot. for the foxhounds and then later the coonhounds. The rabbit hatchery stOod near by. W.~ had 44 rabbits at one time. We children had morning chores of cutting their daily grass. We also got the old lettuce and cabbage leaves from the A&P store in Pomeroy. The strawberry .patch \Vas also located below the coalhouse. It was a rather large one of about two acres. I used to ride the horse while the strawberries were being cultivated. Dad sold the strawberries for a dime a box and the workers were paid two cents a box to pick them. The hog pens were located also below the coalhouse. This was .an area that caught all the over flow form the pond. Here I made mud pies and topped.them with bright yellow dandelions. Mom and I also picked mustard greens here. Behind the house set the outhouse and the smokehouse. You could always smell the linger of salt and smoke. These two buildmgs were often moved around the back yard. In days gone by. my Dad told of helping m.o ve many buildings , including barns and houses on the neighbonng farms. . . Grandma's hen house was the next stop. It had a fencedin area, which we call the chicken yard. Roosting platforms and nesting boxes filled the house. Glass eggs or old marble doorknobs could be found in the nests. She fed mash that came in colored or print sacks bought from the Bashan store. We tried to match the prints to get enough of the same print to make towels and aprons . Cherry, plum, Quincy, pear and apple trees ad()med the yard. We used to pull the gu~ from the plum trees and P.Ut 11 on sttcks.' We use the sticks. as arrows to play like Indians. Later we had chestnut trees that were roasted in the . · fall.

The second phase of the Refu~e immerses the men in Btble study and chores on a farm in Vinton County, near McArthur. The farm removes them from the people and substances that led them astray. There's also a Refuge farm in Adams County. Of those who make itto a farm , 70 percent to 80 percent will graduate, Thompson said. · They undergo weekly evaluations to see whether they're becoming. disciples of Christ. They must begin to show a commitment to God, a willingness to be taught, and an attitude ·of honesty and gratitude, Terry Hughes said. He lived under a Cincinnati bridge for 17 years and now is a participant in the program who has been entrusted to oversee the Vinton County farm. The men often sit in con· versation, coming clean about the trauma and abuse in their lives. both ~uffered and inflicted. It's a time to understand how they became lost and addicted , Hughes said. ll"s·quiet enough to think there , said John Williams, a 53-year-old Circleville native. He came to the Refuge two months after trying to kill himself with an overdose of heroin. His life of two ' failed . marriages, strained relationships with his children, a lost job and a painful broken leg had become .too much. Williams remembers !he Refuge's founder telling him: "You're not a heroin addict. You're a.son of God. He will heal you."' In the final phase of the Refuge, the men return to · reality. Housed in a dul?lex in the Franklinton ne1ghborhood , of Columbus, they spend their days workin~ and their weekends VIsiting their wives, children and parents. Several companies have · agreed to hire tile men to do consttuction and warehouse Jobs. Their wages go back mto the ministry except for a $60 monthly stipend. By this point, they're keeping one another accountable . After ei¥ht months in Columbus, tt's time to graduate. It's time to choose faith over drugs.

A Dec. 2 deadline for claims was imposed when the diocese filed for Chapter II bankruptcy earlier this year. The number of claims was reported by. Catholic News · Service. The diocese said it sought bankruptcy protection this past February because it could not reach a financial settlement over . the ISO or so abuse Claims it had received at the time. The claims related to cases largely dating between the 1950s and 1980s . In 2007. the Oregon Province of the , Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, agreed to pay · $50 million to more than 100 Alaska Natives who said they had been molested as children by Jesuit pnests. However, the cases did not include claims of negligence against the Fairbanks diocese, which owned and managed the.parishes in the rural Alaska villages where the Jesuit priests worked. Fairbanks was the sixth U.S. diocese to · seek . bankruptcy protection in the face of sex abuse claims.

The Vatican "s Pontifical' Council for Social Communications is embracing the iBreviary, an iTunes application created by a technologically savvy Italian priest, the Rev. Paolo Padrini, and an Italian Web designer. The application includes the Breviary prayer book - in Italian, English, Spanish, French and Latin and, in the near future, Portuguese and ·German. Another section includes the prayers of the daily Mass, and a third contains various other prayers. After a free trial period in which the iBreviary was downloaded approximately 10,000 times in Italy. an official version was released earlier this month. Padrini said. · The application costs $1 .I 0. while upgrades will be free. Padrini's proceeds are going to charity. Monsignor Paul Tighe, secretary of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Social Communications, praised the new application, saying the church "is learning to use the new technolqgies primarily as a tool or as a means of evanj!elizing, as a way of being able to share Its own message with the world." dus~ In Mill pleltle a 499 Richland Avenue.Aibens Cat,holic dioc~, In lllllll religbJs tntdlfbtl.ihftWtiest bmsci ~ itrus healily oo plilt, saalful, and JQiisbtllfllt !bey mlw.., II!IJtJudon based, as vthe~ tte!d!d 10 lear aRl ~an God • . , :'1 deiltta~Dst I I ~! !!

Hamilton County Coroner 0' dell Owens said Tuesday thai a small piece of tape and part of Keri Shryock's costume got in the way and kept the clasp on the harness from locking. . Owens indicated that Shryock hooked herself in while the lights were down and apparently didn "t realize there was a problem. · The coroner said the harness came· undone after the 23-year,old Xavier University graduate stuilent was lifted into the air during the show the week before the holiday at a Cincinnati megachurch. Shryock. a native of the Toledo area, fell about 25 feet to a concrete floor and died at a hospital the next day. r .Friday, December 26, 2008 whose Jewish population was nearly wiped out in the Holocaust and later suffered from communist-era repression . The v.isit "means we're in a normal country ... a country that treasures that it has citizens of different religions and of different backgrounds." said Poland's chief rabbi, Michael Schudrich. Kaczynski, a. Roman Catholic. entered Warsaw 's century-old Nozyk synagogue just after sundown Dec . 21, when the eight-day holiday began. The congrega-' tion rose and a group of Jewish children sang '"Shalom Aleichem" - "peace be upon yo.u." Wearing a yarmulke, Kaczynski strode to the front of the synagogue , where he sat as a choir sang the Polish national anthem and a song in Yiddish - the language spoken by many of the nearly 3.5 million Jew~ who lived in Poland before World War II . Poland was a haven for Jews for nearly .1.000 years, and was home to Europe's largest community before the war. Most were killed in the ghettos and death camps that Nazi Germany set up after it invaded Poland in 1939, at the war's start. In the nearly 20 years since communism fell, the community has enjoyed new vitality, with Jews returning to their roots. locking before her fatal f~ rrrrrrr ac. tim il a l'llllatl.tltil ~ ttlnQtal your light so shine before I"''""· that they may see works and glorify your IFather in heaven ."

The diocese said it sought bankruptcy protection this past February because it could not reach a financial settlement over . the ISO or so abuse Claims it had received at the time. The claims related to cases largely dating between the 1950s and 1980s .

Hamilton County Coroner 0' dell Owens said Tuesday thai a small piece of tape and part of Keri Shryock's costume got in the way and kept the clasp on the harness from locking. . Owens indicated that Shryock hooked herself in while the lights were down and apparently didn "t realize there was a problem. · The coroner said the harness came· undone after the 23-year,old Xavier University graduate stuilent was lifted into the air during the show the week before the holiday at a Cincinnati megachurch. Shryock. a native of the Toledo area, fell about 25 feet to a concrete floor and died at a hospital the next day. r .Friday, December 26, 2008 whose Jewish population was nearly wiped out in the Holocaust and later suffered from communist-era repression . The v.isit "means we're in a normal country ... a country that treasures that it has citizens of different religions and of different backgrounds." said Poland's chief rabbi, Michael Schudrich. Kaczynski, a. Roman Catholic. entered Warsaw 's century-old Nozyk synagogue just after sundown Dec . 21, when the eight-day holiday began. The congrega-' tion rose and a group of Jewish children sang '"Shalom Aleichem" - "peace be upon yo.u." Wearing a yarmulke, Kaczynski strode to the front of the synagogue , where he sat as a choir sang the Polish national anthem and a song in Yiddish - the language spoken by many of the nearly 3.5 million Jew~ who lived in Poland before World War II . Poland was a haven for Jews for nearly .1.000 years, and was home to Europe's largest community before the war. Most were killed in the ghettos and death camps that Nazi Germany set up after it invaded Poland in 1939, at the war's start. In the nearly 20 years since communism fell, the community has enjoyed new vitality, with Jews returning to their roots. locking before her fatal f~ rrrrrrr ac. tim il a l'llllatl.tltil ~ ttlnQtal your light so shine before I"''""· that they may see works and glorify your IFather in heaven ."
