Albany service specializes in loosening cults' hold by David Altstadt THE POST
Ron Burks lost 17 years of his life to the brainwashing by a fringe Bible cult.
"It seemed similar to conventional churches, but I had a personal pastor who made all major decisions in my life for me," he said.
Burks and his wife, Vicki, left the Shepherding Movement because he needed to take care of his parents back in his hometown. There, he went to his childhood church and was amazed at what he saw.

Mother fears for life of malnourished grandson AP
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The mother of a man who allegedly kidnapped his malnourished child from a hospital appealed yesterday for him and his wife to surrender before their dangerous ideas about nutrition kill the 20-month-old boy.
Cheryl Gardner worried for the safety of the little boy as temperatures dipped below freezing and snow started to fall in Utah's mountains, where Christopher and Kyndra Fink are believed to have taken their boy last month.
Firewater rocks the Union by Leslie Basalla THE POST
Firewater's Tod Ashley (better known as Tod A.) is too smart to be a mere rock singer. Armed with a twisted wit and a subversive vision of the future of rock, A. and the rest of Firewater have done their best to extend rock 'n' roll's boundaries by tearing them open at the seams and patching the holes together with bits and pieces of unrelated and alien styles.
Witness the band's debut effort Get Off the Cross (We Need the Wood for the Fire) for proof. A wild ride through the cobbled alleys of Eastern Europe and Israel, Get Off the Cross melded raw rock with Gypsy melodies, Russian balaikas, traditional Jewish klezmer music and a range of other ethnic sounds.

FOOTBALL
An ugly day in every way for Ohio by David Jablonski THE POST
Nothing indicated a 35-7 Ohio loss. Nothing foreshadowed a complete collapse. Fresh off their first victory of the season and with three tough losses nearly forgotten, the Bobcats put together a good week of practice, Ohio coach Jim Grobe said, even though Bowling Green would be - on paper - the easiest opponent they had faced so far this year.
Ohio (1-4 overall, 1-1 in the Mid-American Conference) had a good game plan, Grobe said. So the team was ready, even energized, when it left the locker room Saturday at Doyt L. Perry Stadium and headed out onto the wind-blown, rain-chilled field.
CROSS COUNTRY Bobcats eat up opponents at McDonald's Invitational by Elizabeth Price THE POST
Fans and alumni came out Saturday morning to cheer the men's and women's cross country teams to victory in the 11th annual McDonald's Invitational. Four green-and-white painted students were among the loudest supporters, followed closely by a father using a conch shell as a rally horn. Alumni were on hand to present the top 15 runners with their awards, as well as to hand out team trophies.

The RedHawks (12-4, 4-0 in MAC) ran their all-time mark to 36-1 against the Bobcats, despite playing their third match in five days. Mindy Collins topped Miami with 17 kills and 13 digs while Alissia Thompson added 14 kills for the RedHawks.
HOCKEY Ice hockey team gets swept in its opening series THE POST
The Ohio ice hockey club dropped its first two games of the season this weekend at Michigan-Dearborn, 5-3 and 3-2.
Brandon Alviano, one of Ohio's tri-captains, blamed the first loss to mental errors and the inevitable first game jitters of new players. Ryan Schelein scored the first goal, Alviano the second and Marcus Marazon the third.
