By WILSON RING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONTPELIER A Mennonite pastor is scheduled to be sentenced in March for his con- viction on a charge he helped a Virginia woman and her daughter the country three years ago rather than allow the girl to have regular visits with the former lesbian partner.
Kenneth Miller of Stuarts Draft, faces up to three years in prison when he is sentenced in federal court in Burlington on March 4. His attorney, Brooks McArthur of Burlington, say Friday what sentence he would seek for Miller. He plans to a sentencing memo ahead of the hearing. Kenneth Miller was convicted last summer for helping Lisa Miller and her daughter Isabella flee the country in 2009, several days before the girl was scheduled for a weekend visit with Lisa former partner, Janet Jenkins of Fair Haven. It was also two months ahead of an anticipated order from a Vermont judge trans- ferring custody of the girl from Lisa Miller to Jenkins.
The Millers are not related. A civil lawsuit by Jenkins at the conclusion of Kenneth criminal trial is also pending. A number of the defendants, including Ken- neth Miller, Liberty University and the Thomas Road Baptist Church, both in Lynchburg, documents in court late Friday asking a judge to dismiss the civil case by Jenkins.

The action comes af- ter about 30 parents attended a board meeting in October with complaints about their children not being engaged in school and not learning as well as they had in the past. The parents said a fifth teacher would help alleviate the problems because they felt the cur- rent class sizes of 20 to 23 students per class were too high. After that October meeting, Ricca said he assigned four teach- ing coaches employed at the school to focus on the second grade to ob- serve what was happening in the class- rooms and to offer assistance to the teachers as needed.
After two weeks, Ricca said everyone involved in- cluding himself, the teachers, and the coaches agreed that a second- grade teacher is warranted. Ricca said he guarantee that having a teacher will solve the problems the parents are see- ing in their children. But it would reduce class sizes and should help address overall class management issues that teachers face daily.

His bludgeoned body was found on the railroad cross- ing at Granite Street in late April.
Reports of the case are remarkable for what they say about the Granite City in the years of and as Barre was characterized by the Vermont Watchman, the then- newspaper of record for central Vermont. The growing pains of a city that had seen its population increase by a factor of from 1880 to 1894 are evident in a careful reading of the circum- stances of demise. The observations of a young divinity student and future settle- ment house worker, George Ellsworth Hooker, complete the picture of a city at odds with its destiny. Thomas Enright came to Barre, as did almost everyone else in those days, for the oppor- tunities in the burgeoning gran- ite industry.
