The Taylor Creek resident was 75. In 1960, the Taylor Creek Organization began with the conversion of a cornfield into a baseball field. Mr. Siegert was named the first president of the organization. "He worked really hard to get the job done.

The more baseball teams we had, the more kids showed up. It kept the kids off the streets and gave them something to do," said his wife, Mary, of Taylor Creek, who formed the women's auxiliary of the organization. The organization expanded to adding girls softball teams, crafts, baton, a marching group and a band for both boys and girls. Today there are 50 soccer teams and 40 softball and baseball teams. It now has its own facilities Farwick Field off Ohio 128 in Miamitown, said Lucy Muth of Taylor Creek, who coached with Mr.

Siegert. "The kids loved him. He was easy to get along with," Muth said. "He didn't want people to know what he was doing, and I thought that was great. He was a man who believed in helping the kids.

He did it all," said William Muth of Taylor Creek, a volunteer member. Mr. Siegert and his wife were inducted into the Taylor Creek Youth Organization Hall of Fame Dec. 11, 1994. Beginning in the late 1940s, Mr.

The 57-year-old grandmother, who pleaded guilty for her part in embezzling $247,826 from the Netherland Terrace Federal Credit Union, has been given six months to a year to live. The mother of four and grandmother of seven has cancer. U.S. District Judge S.

Arthur Spiegel ordered Strub's release Tuesday, saying it was "in the interest of justice and humanity." Spiegel sentenced the former Harrison resident in May to 41 months in prison after she confessed to one count of a 28-count indictment. Her terminal condition comes as another sad blow to her children, who after 14 years got to see their mother only after FBI agents discovered her destitute and living in a shack near New Orleans. Strub's grandchildren the oldest 12 never knew her. Her husband, Earl, after 25 years of marriage, never remarried. Strub's son, Darren, 29, said he is not sure the grandchildren would understand the circumstances surrounding their grandmother.

Earlier this year, Strub spent much of her time while awaiting sentencing at her son's home, catching up on the years she was apart from her family. Her freedom, son Darren said, will allow her to continue to learn of the family she left behind. "It's just like before," said Darren, of Butler County. "There's a lot of catching up to do. We did some when she was brought back before.

I guess we'll continue to catch up. "We're just working out the details to AndersonMl. Washington Rohde Kelsch 231-3737 T.P.

We're hopeful. You never know with cancer." Strub is an inmate at the Federal Medical Center in Caswell, Texas, said her lawyer, W. Kelly Johnson. Doctors have diagnosed her with a recurrence of cancer, Johnson said. She is also suffering from kidney failure because of bladder cancer, which could lead to her death in less than six months, Johnson said.

Johnson said he filed a motion for a reduced sentence immediately after he learned of Strub's illness. Johnson, reached Tuesday night, praised Spiegel's decision. "It's a sad case. I don't believe there's anyone I've ever come into contact with in this case who objects to her release." The U.S. attorney's office did not object to the motion to reduce her sentence.
