Have received info that Josef Gerak's wife - Rosalia Kuchta child was born in "Chanvitch" Austria in 1901.
I am unable to find this place.
The language spoken was not German, or Russian, possibly Polish, possibly Hungarian.
Hungarian seems a good possibility as one document re ships manifest said Magyar.
Any help would be appreciated.

MALACCA: Faizal Shaari scored a hat-trick to lead Malaysia to a 6-2 win in the first of three hockey friendlies against Canada at the at the Bukit Serendit Hockey Stadium in Malacca.
Malaysia drew first blood in the fifth minute when Faizal latched on to a long pass from the right flank to shoot past Canadian goalkeeper David Carter.
Canada drew level two minutes later when the unmarked Hudson Stewart slot past Malaysia goalkeeper Azrul Faiz.
Ramdan Rosli made it 2-1 for the homesters in the 21st minute and another field goal by Jalil Marhan gave Malaysia a 3-1 lead at the break.
Faizal fired in two goals, including one from a penalty corner set-piece, in the 42nd and 51st minutes to complete his hat-trick and put Malaysia 5-1 ahead with the game beyond reach for Canada.
Nevertheless, the visitors pulled a goal back through Ian Smythe in the 56th minute but Rashid Baharom wrapped up the big win for Malaysia with a field goal in the final minute of play.
Canada and Malaysia will meet again on Saturday at 8.30pm, followed by the final encounter at 6pm on Sunday before leaving for Ipoh on Monday to participate in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup from March 13-23.

The University Club's New England roots are evident not just in its creamy, New England-style clam chowder, but in its very building. Nestled in two colonial-era farmhouses, one of which is the oldest, most wrinkly house in Amherst, the eatery is a venerable institution to the history of Massachusetts. The Boltwood-Stockbridge house contains the Daniel Chester French room, named for the Lincoln Memorial Statue sculptor who lived there as a child, and the Tory room, where nine loyalists hid during the American Revolution.
Today, the loyalists have given way to diners feasting on fare that changes with the seasons. Dinners consist of upscale proteins such as new york strip steak, braised lamb shank, and pan-seared salmon complemented by a farmer's-market risotto loaded with fresh local produce. Alternatively, lunchtime visitors—or diners sampling the bar's lighter fare menu—can nosh on a Black Angus burger or a jalapeño crab-cake po' boy.
The talented roasters at Shelburne Falls Coffee—deemed Best of the Valley in 2009, 2010, and 2011 by Valley Advocate readers—percolate eight daily blends of organic, flavored, and single-origin coffees to entice tasters and nourish nostrils in a low-key, café environment. Guests can guzzle a regular cup of brewed coffee or add a splash of caramel-flavored milk, making sips as sweet and warming as a thank-you letter from a cupcake ($1.50–$3.21). After a hot cup of joe, cool off a piping-hot palate with the chai vanilla frozen blender—an enchanting swirl of homemade masala and exotic spices ($4.25). Acquire daily servings of fruits and breads without sneaking into the food pyramid with a fruit smoothie made of freshly squeezed orange juice ($4.50) and a bagel smeared with specialty olive or vegetable cream cheese ($3.30).
At Baku's African Restaurant, which On the Menu calls "the place to go," Nigerian-born Chichi Pat Ononibaku shares her love of made-from-scratch African fare with a menu of dishes crafted from recipes passed down through her family. Diners kick back while surrounded by tropical murals and yellow walls, peering into the kitchen where Ononibaku whips up black-eyed-pea fritters ($4.95). On the Menu says Baku's African Restaurant "makes it impossible for its patrons not to love plantains," which accompany the signature jollof rice along with curry chicken ($11.95) for a dish that's more memorable than a baby panda handing you a winning lottery ticket. Savory aromas waft from curry goat meat, salmon, or lamb draped in the restaurant's specialty curry-tomato sauce ($12.95–13.95). The gluten- and lactose-free menu also features pounded yams served with thick West African melon seed soup or nigerian stew ($12.95). The cozy dining room fills quickly with the clink of glasses bearing cinnamon iced tea ($1.95) or mango juice ($3.95), so some visitors may choose to take their meals to go or call ahead to make sure there's space.
Goten of Japan serves authentic Japanese fare by way of hibachi-cooked entrees and a sleek and stylish sushi bar. The menu's hibachi eats fill empty stomach boxes with hibachi chicken ($15.95), Japanese-style scallops ($22.50), and a veggie special ($14.50). Sushi bites, meanwhile, boast baked rolls ($7.50 to $12), fresh rolls, and sashimi staples. Kids under 10 can peruse a children's menu replete with entrees (between $10.45 and $16.95) that perfectly fit miniature mouths.
Combing the finest farms for the freshest ingredients, Roadhouse Cafe dishes up wholesome, hearty breakfast and lunch options for the hungry denizens of Belchertown and beyond. An eye-opening menu of made-from-scratch fare awakens sleepy taste buds with all-natural, seasonal fixings. A local favorite, Roadhouse Cafe's organic blueberry pancakes lure mouths across state lines, while organic omelettes ($7.95+), culled from fresh eggs from nearby Amish Farms and stuffed with choices such as fresh red peppers, mushrooms, and chives, inch morning's approval ratings past 4:42 p.m.'s. Like meat pennies into a yeasty loafer, specialty paninis and sandwiches ($4.95–$6.95), pile hearty fillings into one of 12, soft homemade bread loaves ($4.50–$7.50). Chase your meal with a cup of fair-trade coffee ($2–$2.50), some hot, farm-fresh soup ($3.50–$5.50), or a silky smoothie ($5.75).
Bridge Side Grille serves up a heap of upscale pub fare, its menu awash with delectable dishes and locally produced beef. Relish in burgers such as the Black and Blue, a blackened 6-ounce slab of beef from nearby Millstone Farm Market that arrives stuffed with blue cheese, stamped with cajun spices, and drizzled in a creole sauce ($9.25). Fish-smitten diners can furnish their baleen plates with the haddock, baked with lemon butter and crumb topping ($14.95), or the scallops formaggio in an Asiago cream sauce ($16.95). On Thursday nights, patrons can chomp to the beat of coffeehouse-style tunes.

Keira Knightley's Navy White Dress at Jack Ryan Premiere
Keira Knightley Brings Throwback Thursday to the Red Carpet!
by Robert Khederian 1 Reactions 68 Shares Print
Just in time for Throwback Thursday, Keira Knightley attended the LA premiere of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit wearing a vintage-inspired Chanel dress in one of the chicest color combinations we can think of: navy and white. Bows along the white trim of the pleated dress added an extra feminine touch, while a pair of simple black shoes subtly complemented the entire look. What do you think — does Keira's look inspire you to try out a retro ensemble?

It took just two seats to change government that day: Glenelg (now Bright) and Barossa.
In Glenelg, a grassroots campaign saw Hugh Hudson defeat Sir Baden Pattinson.
It was 16-year-old James Crawford's first opportunity to see democracy in action – his father, and well-known local businessman, Jim Crawford, had been an ardent supporter of Hudson throughout the campaign.
"One of my first political excitements was the election he (Hudson) won for the seat of Bright in which he ended the Playford Government," James Crawford recalls Full Story »

Tomorrow's Pioneers (also known as The Pioneers of Tomorrow) is a Palestinian kids show made by the Hamas-owned television station Al-Aqsa TV. The show follows a standard kids show format with Saraa Barhoum as the host and a costumed animal as her co-host as they discussed life in Palestine in talk-show format and perform some skits. It was broadcast between 2007 and 2009.The show is incredibly controversial due to the many ideas it promotes: from antisemitism, to anti-Americanism, to a rather strict form of Islam. While some of this controversy has come from what appears to be biased mistranslation by pro-Israel groups, much of the show really is that extreme. It's also launched controversy among Palestinians and pro-Palestinian groups, with the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Information having pulled it off the air before the PA lost control over Gaza (where Hamas is based), and many supporters of the Palestinian cause telling Hamas to stop producing such hateful and counterproductive garbage. It's also notorious for the various rip-offs of American cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse.And before we go on... No, this isn't Creepypasta. Some people really will go this far (and moreso) to make their point.

Hyatt's Polaris takes its final spin April 12
Milwaukee's iconic revolving restaurant, Polaris, is closing.
I was just having a conversation about the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee the other day. It centered on the fact that this circle in Milwaukee's skyline had kind of lost is way and its buzz. A friend and I remarked that it had been years since we'd been to Polaris and the while we dine and drink at other Downtown hotels regularly, the Hyatt's just not on our list.
Well, maybe this is all about to change as today I got word that Milwaukee's iconic revolving restaurant, Polaris, is closing (to the public, at least). It will reopen for private events, though. Polaris opened in 1980. It completes one revolution every 70 minutes, offering diners a panoramic view of the city.
For nearly three decades, Milwaukeeans and visitors have ascended to the 20th floor of the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee for some of the city's best views. As Wisconsin's only revolving rooftop restaurant and lounge, Polaris has been home to engagements, first dates, anniversaries, Valentine's Day celebrations and many other special occasions. Personally, I remember Easter Brunch and watching the fireworks (on July 3 and 4 you could see at least five displays at once).
"Polaris is a legendary restaurant dear to many Milwaukeeans hearts," said Gerald Rappaport, general manager of Hyatt Regency Milwaukee. "While we're sad to see it close, we're also very excited to unveil a fresh restaurant concept that will focus on new American cuisine with a local twist," said Rappaport.
The restaurant will close its doors at the conclusion of Easter brunch on April 12. The closure is part of the hotel's massive renovation project, which will introduce a new signature restaurant for the hotel on the lobby level in the former Knuckles Sports Bar in May. The Polaris space, as I mentioned, will only be utilized for private functions.
Bigger news, though, is that by May the Hyatt will be practically brand new. With its location near the Bradley Center and U.S. Cellular Arena, it's a signature building in Milwaukee, and a fresh, new look is more than welcome.
Noble Investment Group bought the 483-room hotel in 2007. The privately held Noble will spend more than $19 million by the time the renovation is completed.
As a final farewell to Polaris, Hyatt Regency Milwaukee will collect Milwaukeeans most memorable moments at the revolving rooftop eatery. The contest, "Remembering Polaris," will award the diner with the most romantic story or photo with a grand romance package that will include an overnight stay in a newly renovated suite, dinner for two, tickets for two to a show, Champagne and strawberries at turndown, breakfast delivered to the room and a late checkout.
Entries can be e-mailed to George Herrera at email@example.com or mailed to Hyatt Regency Milwaukee, c/o Remembering Polaris, 333 W. Kilbourn Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53203. The deadline for submission is Friday, April 10.
In addition, all who dine at Polaris through April 12 will receive a complimentary glass of Champagne when they mention the Remembering Polaris promotion.

Very sad for me. It was where I was taken on the night I got engaged to my husband (before a carriage ride). It is where I like to take our son and my niece for a special dessert before or after "The Nutcracker" or "A Christmas Carol" each year too. We'll try to get in there before it shuts down its regular hours for sure!

The NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products Group is joining forces with Quill.com, a leading business-to-business office products provider, to expand the Dunder Mifflin brand beyond paper, turning the fictional company from NBC's beloved series "The Office" into a major office-products brand that will make Dunder Mifflin popular in offices for years to come. New Dunder Mifflin products, available for pre-order via Quill.com, include Sharpies, Self-Stick Notes (yellow and assorted colors), premium facial tissue boxes, coffee cups, storage boxes and legal pads.
The items are adorned with slogans inspired by "The Office" such as "Quabity First" and "Look Busy. Take Notes."
- Dunder Mifflin Permanent Markers by Sharpie – "Get Your Write On"
- Self-Stick Notes (Sticky Squares) – "That's What She Wrote" for the yellow notes and "Diversity Pack" for the assorted colors
- Premium Facial Tissue Boxes – "The Picky Person's First Pick"
- Dunder Mifflin Hot & Cold Office Cups by Dixie PerfecTouch – "Make Every Hour Happy"
- Office Toss Storage Boxes – "File Away Before You Toss Away"
- Ruled Pads (Yellow Paper With Straight Lines) – "Look Busy. Take Notes."
Quill.com began offering Dunder Mifflin paper in late 2011 through a licensing relationship with NBCUniversal brokered by JTMG, NBC's agency of record. The paper launch – which featured Dunder Mifflin-esque paper-pushing "food trucks" in major markets and appearances by "The Office" cast members -- exceeded all expectations, leading Quill.com to expand the product line.
"We were delighted by the way the paper launch brought Dunder Mifflin to life in a way that was true to 'The Office,'" said Kim Niemi, Senior Vice President, NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products Group. "We're thrilled that this great fictional brand is poised to be very real and successful for years to come."
"People really responded to the opportunity to have 'The Office' in their office," said Sergio Pereira, Vice-President of Merchandising, Quill.com. "They love the humor and levity it brings to a corporate environment."
The new products, which will begin shipping in December and January, are currently available for pre-order at www.quill.com/dundermifflin.
From Deedle-Dee Productions, Reveille and Universal Television comes the multi-award-winning comedy series "The Office," the hilarious documentary-style look into the humorous and sometimes poignant foolishness that plagues the world of 9-to-5 in the half-hour. A fly-on-the-wall "docu-reality" parody about modern American office life, "The Office" delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin Sabre, a paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. "The Office" is executive-produced by Ben Silverman, Greg Daniels, who developed the series for American audiences, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein, Paul Lieberstein, Brent Forrester and Dan Sterling.
Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Lincolnshire, IL, Quill.com serves the needs of over a million small to medium sized businesses. As a premier business to business office products provider, Quill.com sells everything from paper and ink and toner to cleaning supplies and technology with 24-hour-a-day access to more than 65,000 business essentials. Introduced in 1996, Quill.com was one of the first successful Web sites launched in the office products industry and has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Staples, Inc., since 1998.
Quill.com is committed to supporting breast cancer research. In addition to raising money during the month of October, they also offer a full assortment of pink products all year long, with a percentage of those product sales being donated to this cause. In the fight against Breast Cancer, Quill.com has raised more than $600,000 since 2006.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Mitt Romney said Monday that promises made by President Barack Obama have not helped the American people, and the former presidential candidate predicted that change is coming to Washington, D.C.
Romney was in Anchorage to rally support for Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Dan Sullivan and Gov. Sean Parnell. Romney's visit comes after Sullivan spent the weekend holding rallies with Texas senator and tea party favorite Ted Cruz.
A long line formed in the cold outside the airline hangar where Monday's event was held. A clutch of protesters gathered nearby, holding signs with statements such as "Alaska women don't fit in binders," a riff on a Romney comment from 2012 that he had "binders full of women" as candidates for cabinet positions when he was Massachusetts governor.
But the focus of the event was on Sullivan, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Mark Begich in a race that could help decide control of the Senate. Republicans need to pick up six seats to take the chamber and feel confident about their chances here.
Begich, who on Saturday said he felt he had the momentum and sensed a victory, spent the lead-up to the election shaking as many hands as possible, holding events in the Anchorage area and in Fairbanks.
The number of early votes cast has topped the number in 2010, when there was another high-profile Senate race, and 2012, when there was a presidential election.
Romney, meanwhile, told the crowd Monday that Sullivan represents change in Washington, adding that with Republicans in charge the nation will secure its borders, adopt policies that help people get out of poverty and improve the federal health care law.
Promises made by Obama have not been kept, Romney said. "But when we have a new direction in Washington, with Dan Sullivan there and Lisa Murkowski there, you're going to see the promises that are made by our party kept," he said.
Murkowski is Alaska's senior senator, and in line to take over the chairmanship of the Senate energy committee if Republicans take over.
In other races, voters Tuesday will decide whether to legalize recreational use of marijuana, raise the minimum wage and require legislative approval of the Pebble Mine project.
The governor's race features Parnell and Republican-turned-independent Bill Walker.
Also, Rep. Don Young, the longest serving Republican in the U.S. House, faces a challenge from Democratic political upstart Forrest Dunbar.
Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor, sent out an email touting Walker and his Democratic running mate, Byron Mallott, as conservatives. Parnell was Palin's lieutenant governor and took over for her when she resigned in 2009. She backed tea party favorite Joe Miller in the U.S. Senate primary and didn't mention Sullivan in the email.
Young was noticeably absent from Monday's rally, which included Murkowski. A spokesman said Young, who recently apologized for comments he made about suicide, was holding private constituent meetings Monday and had a scheduling conflict.
Murkowski was a prominent figure in this year's Senate race after calling on Begich to stop running ads touting their level of cooperation and how often they vote together.
Begich spokesman Max Croes said a bipartisan delegation that includes Begich has been successful in opening the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska and Arctic Ocean to oil and gas development while continuing to fight for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He said that compares to when Alaska had two Republican senators, a Republican congressman and a Republican president for years and the refuge did not get opened.
Jane Angvik, who was one of the protesters, said Begich knows the issues and listens to Alaskans. She said he has earned re-election.
Chris Birch, a former Anchorage Assembly member, said he considers Sullivan the more competent and capable candidate. He said he found the characterization of Sullivan as an outsider — a major theme in the race — offensive since many Alaskans come from somewhere else. Sullivan's roots in the state date to the 1990s.

I am debugging a crash using GDB and a core file. A large portion of the memory space is mmapped into the process. That portion of the memory is not saved into the core file. I have a file that contains all the data in that mmapped memory.
I would like to find a way to load the data from that file into GDB at a certain offset so that I can display datastructures within that address space. Is this possible?
Note that I have tried the '
restore' command in GDB but it only works when debugging a running process.
Perhaps there are tools that allow a core file to have additional data appended to it? I am experimenting with objcopy to see if I can augment the core file with this binary data, but I have not been successful yet.

First bottling experience is coming up with the large hitch being that I don't currently own any beer bottles. I don't really think I can drink 2 cases of beer in the next week and I don't feel like buying empty bottles if I can avoid it (even if they do sell them). I have some 24oz soda bottles and could probably get some more from my parents if I had to. I might also be able to find one or two 40oz malt liquor bottles that my friends would have. Are these acceptable bottling containers? I guess my concern is what effect the carbonating would have. What about a bunch of mason jars?
I'll be leaving these in a dark place, of course, so I'm not so concerned with clear bottles.
They do sell empty bottles. The soda bottles will work but probably not your best bet for long term storage. I have used them in the past and they seemed to work fine for me.
Dont know about the mason jars.
We've all been there.
Give your beer more time in the fermenter. It will make the beer better and give you time to enjoy some craft beers.
Get on Craigslist or check with your local HB club.
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
Don't feel like there is any rush to bottle. There isn't. So long as your beer is safely within your primary or secondary, the bottling process can wait until you've accumulated enough bottles. It won't hurt your beer to wait, and it will likely even help.
I wouldn't use anything but flip-tops or proper, crown-capped bottles. Hit up local bars & restaurants. Find the local recycling center, they will probably let you take what you need in exchange for the deposit value. Check Craig's List as well, I'm always seeing bottles offered for little to nothing.
I go through the local recycling center. The guy there thinks its kinda strange but he doesn't seem to mind... its worth a shot.

Apfelwein Carboy:Apple/White Cranberry Hybrid Bottled: EdWorts Apfelwein;RPA Red Panda Ale; Kodiak Brown
recycling center or craigslist. It is amazing the amount of stuff people have to give away on there if you just ask.
Can you go to a local bar and get empties? You want the non-twist off bottles, like Sam Adams bottles, or even Corona bottles. (Digging out the limes is gross, though, so it's not my favorite). I've also gone dumpster diving at the recycling center, and they just laugh when I come in. Of course, I bring a few bottles of beer with me. The guys who fill my co2 tank like beer, also, so there's always a "little something" for them. Just a thought!
OR>>>>>>>> buy two cases of Sam Adams and have a big party. Then, you have bottles, and friends, too!
You'd be surprised how much beer you can consume in the 2-4 weeks one leaves beer in a fermenter...It's a good excuse to try different craft brews to see what you like, or like yoop said you can have a bash with 2 cases of sam adams...
Also, you will be surprised at how many people will give you bottles once you put the word out you are homebrewing, especially if you promise to give them a few of your own..Friends, neighbors, coworkers... A lot of people put non-twist off beer, wine, champaign bottles, even flip tops aside for me...even grabbing any they me see on their travels.
But I can gaurentee that once you start homebrewing and get a few batches under your belt, you'll look back at this thread, and they idea that 2 cases of beer is a daunting task to put away, and laugh!
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman

I had to be induced on Wednesday Dec 29, 2010 because of who knows what. The docs aren't saying exactly what it was. I'm assuming pre-eclampsia because my liver was failing, my kidneys were failing and my platelets were low enough to need transfusions. The doc kept saying from the lupus but they were unable to explain what really happened so no real answers. So my daughter, Sara, was born at 7:40 pm 12/29/10 weighing 8 oz and 8 1/2 inches long. She was a cute little thing! After a week long stay in the hospital I have finally been able to come home.
So now I get to be treated again for the lupus. Which means, high dose steroids and Imuran in my case. I'm hoping for a quick remission again as the last time it took them 6 years to get the right combination of drugs.
Unfortunately, my maternal fetal specialist said absolutely no more kids for me. And after being that sick, I am going to agree with her....for at least a little while!
I'd like to be around for my boys for a long time.
*Thanks to Jaidynsmum for my beautiful siggy!*

The Vatican has been reining in the progressive leadership of American nuns, creating a political test of wills over the future of a faith with one billion adherents worldwide as it braces for an historic papal transition. Described as a modern 'Inquisition,' this punitive campaign against the nuns lands on the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council and raises fundamental questions about the mission of a global church and the role of nuns who were inspired by Vatican II in taking the social justice gospel directly to the world's poor.
As Pope Benedict XVI steps down and briefly leaves an empty seat, a conflict over spiritual mission and real estate will pause to await the next pope.
status, which is official recognition within the church as an organization that is considered authentically Catholic.
LCWR's Sister Pat Farrell, who was president of the group when it was called to Rome for the investigation last April, said, "Most important to all of us is not just that status, but our being able to live religious life as we feel called to do, with integrity and freedom — and hopefully with a good working relationship with the hierarchy."
Farrell, who spent many years doing courageous social justice work in El Salvador and Chile, added, "We have not chosen to opt out of canonical status and would rather not rupture the relationship, with all that it would signal. It is very important to us as fidelity to our call as religious."
Maintaining canonical status carries an implicit hope that the new pope will halt the Vatican-mandated process and drop the supervisory oversight structure imposed last year by William Cardinal Levada when he served as the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a kind of prosecutorial arm of the Catholic Church which is housed in the same building where Galileo was brought before the Inquisition for heresy.
The bitterness of the division between the conservatives handpicked by and loyal to former Pope Benedict and the relatively progressive nuns who carry out work on behalf of the poor and sick across America and around the world is in some ways embodied by the small faith community in Westport, Wisconsin, which took the bold step of actually breaking away from the Catholic Church.
And the issue of land and faith at the Holy Wisdom Monastery reflects a larger struggle between a generation of bishops and cardinals who have become more rigid and reactionary, while disaffected communities of nuns have challenged the male authority of the church by ignoring it or going around it, fusing theology and action as Catholic witnesses on their own terms. For the doctrinal office in Rome, the bottom line is obedience; but material questions — who controls the real estate — shadow the larger conflict.
Last April's Doctrinal Assessment criticizing the Leadership Conference of Women Religious for "radical feminism" used imperious language, but it tap-danced around specifics. It threatened the legal group that helped the Holy Wisdom sisters and other communities of nuns to hold onto their land without naming them or defining any formal ink between property and doctrine.
The takeover, or "supervision," of the nuns' leadership group backfired in media coverage as countless Catholics spoke out for the nuns. Just how, or whether, the supervision moves forward will be determined by a new pope and whoever he puts in the DCF.
"Our desire to become ecumenical had nothing to do with the outlandishness of the Roman hierarchy now," says Walgebach. "We began our ecumenical movement out of our own sense of vision and mission as Benedictine sisters, which grew out of people praying of us from different Christian denominations."
She said, "Other Benedictine communities encouraged us. How do you deal with canon law, keeping our community, and our property, as a whole?"
The man who provided the answer is a complex character, a Benedictine Father named Dan Ward. He is a canon lawyer with a civil law degree from University of Iowa who has helped many communities of sisters with legal counsel.
Described by one of his former students as a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," Ward is heroic in the eyes of many nuns; and he has drawn fire from sex abuse survivors for his defense work for clergy perpetrators.
Ward was a key back-channel advisor in helping the Wisconsin nuns draft their petitions to Rome, requesting formal release from their vows in a Catholic religious order. He also advised them on legal steps to maintain ownership of the monastery and grounds. That transition from a Catholic order, to an ecumenical, or intra-Christian community, took several years and was done quietly, to avoid alerting the bishop of Madison, Wis.
"When a group of nuns in a diocese goes out of existence, then all the temporal goods go to the diocese," explains Patrick Wall, a canon lawyer and former Benedictine priest who lives in Contra
