OPINION: It's Enough to Drive You Bonkers
On May 8, a truck driver on the Ohio Turnpike called in a report that a woman who had just passed him was driving with a baby on her lap. When Catherine Donkers of Michigan was stopped by a State Trooper, she claimed her husband, Brad Barnhill, was responsible--even though he wasn't in the car. The case was tried in Portage County in August. Donkers, who was found guilty of several misdemeanors, including driving without a valid operator’s license, child endangerment and failure to comply with the order of a police officer, has since appealed. I say, it's enough to drive you...well, you know.

Bizarre Poltergeist: In Jail for Murder
Tina Resch was a poltergeist agent whose case was thoroughly studied and documented by poltergeist expert, Dr. William G. Roll and a team of other parapsychologists, physicians and a therapist. In 1992, she was charged with killing her daughter, Amber. There was only circumstantial evidence. Herrin, her boyfriend, admitted he had assaulted the child. Tina was told if she pled guilty as charged, the death penalty would be waived. Despite advice to the contrary, she made a guilty plea. Her sentence: life plus twenty, no chance of parole. Herrin was given twenty years for a lesser charge and might have been released and on parole.

IV-9 Mattos-Massei : Good As Your Word
Mattos is presented as a double portion with Massei. Mattos opens with the affirmation of vows: if a man; if a woman make a vow... The parasha shifts to the description of the attack against the tribes of Midian led by the Phinehas (Pinchus) with a thousand men chosen from each tribe. Balaam is captured and killed. The Kings of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba were slaughtered along with all the men; but they brought the women and children back to the camp of Israelites as booty along with the animals and gold they found. Moses is angered by the sight of the women and orders them slaughtered along with all the male children. It becomes genocide. The soldiers and booty must be purified before being accepted into the camp where a levy is taken and given to the priests. Moses then prepares for attack on Gilead against Sihon the King of the Amorites and King Og of Bashan.
