"The hardest part is, under my bond, I can't have any children in the house under 18, and the children are used to having someone sleep over.

My oldest understood why, but the youngest one can't understand why he can't have a friend over." irumuura oiccfj ouvy III Green Bay's Only Mattress Factory 1242 Main St APPLETON AP) A baby sitter charged with three counts of second-degree murder in connection with the deaths of children left in her care says her religious faith has deepened as a result of the case. Sandra Pankow, 36, of Appleton said in an interview with the Appleton Post-Crescent that she looks upon the last few months as a "test" of her faith. "God is testing me, and he wants me to be strong," she said. "He probably felt I was pulling away from him, and he probably wanted to give me a test that would draw back to him." But Mrs. Pankow, who said she expects to be absolved of the charges when the case goes to trial this spring, said her family chose a new congregation because of a split resulting from their presence and that of the family of one of the deceased infants.

The Pankows now attend a Lutheran church outside Appleton. She credits the parish, and especially its ministers, with bringing out an inner strength she never knew she had. "I decided in the beginning that I was not going to hide," she said. "That had a lot to do with the ney, William Wilde, say the children were victims of sudden infant death syndrome or some other unknown cause. Mrs.

Pankow refused, at Wilde's advice, to discuss details of the case in the telephone interview. She said she had long since stopped thinking about herself. Her first concern is for her husband, Douglas, and their two children, 14- and 6-year-old boys, she said. "I'm not worried about myself; I don't even take that into consideration. I'm worried for my husband and kids and the rest of my family," she said.

"That's where it hurts, because they're suffering." Mrs. Pankow said she has received late-night telephone calls and has been the victim of scattered incidents of vandalism. The tires on the Pankows' pickup truck were slashed a week ago while it was parked at a shopping mall, she said, and the words "Baby Killer" were scrawled in the dust on the side of the vehicle. The phone calls stopped weeks ago, when the Pankows got an unlisted number. "It has been very rough on the "God is testing me, and he wants me to be strong." Sandra Pankow ministers at my church.

They said, Why should I hide? I did nothing to be ashamed of, and neither did my family. We have no reason to hide. "We did nothing to be ashamed of, so we more or less have just been living our days as normal as possible. We live day to day and we'll worry about tomorrow later. It's the only thing you can do." But Mrs.

Pankow said she is not deluding herself into thinking things are really normal. I may be smiling on the outside, but I'm crying on the inside, put it that way I get the strength from inside myself and from the knowledge that God is with me. That's about the only thing I can say," she said. Outagamie County District Attorney William Grogan contends that Mrs. Pankow smothered three babies left in hef care between 1980 and last fall.

Vogel said the woman almost died as a result of the attack and probably will carry scars from the attack the rest of her life. Avery continued to maintain his innocence. "I'm sorry it happened to her and I hope they catch the guy. But I didn't do it, honest to God," Avery said.

He is married and the father of five children 8 months to 5 years old. Bolgert said an examination revealed that Avery had no major character disorders, but had borderline retardation. Avery had been in the Manitowoc County Jail since his arrest. He had been refused bail on two occasions. At the time of his arrest on July 29, Avery was awaiting trial on another assault charge.

He had allegedly threatened a woman and her child with a gun, according to a criminal complaint. Press-Gazette MANITOWOC A 23-year-old Maribel man convicted of assaulting a woman was sentenced Monday to 32 years in prison. Steven Avery was sentenced to 15 years on a first-degree sexual assault charge, 15 years on an attempted first -degree murder charge and two years on the false imprisonment charge. He was convicted of the charges in December. The sentences are to be served consecutively, according to Manitowoc County Circuit Court Judge Fred Hazlewood.

He called the assault "a random act that was vicious in nature." The charges stemmed from an attack in July on a 36-year-old Manitowoc woman. The attack took place on a beach north of Two Rivers. District Attorney Denis Vogel asked Hazlewood to consider a lengthy incarceration to be served consecutively. Shoe 9th MILITARY GREEN BAY DAILY 9-9 SAT. 9-5 SUN.
