Vesta L. Jessop NEW OXFORD Vesta L. (Peters) Jessop, 93, died Friday, January 12, 2007. She was the wife of the late Ralph G. Jessop. Mrs. Jessop, born in Menallen Township, Adams County, was the daughter of the late Wilfie R. and Carrie B. (Freed) Peters. She was a graduate of Biglerville High School and Shippensburg State Teachers College. Mrs.

Polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs, to his followers a prophet who speaks directly with God, is likely to continue to lead his church from behind bars after being sentenced to life in prison on child sex assault charges. The faith's basic principles are rooted in polygamy, a legacy of early Mormon church teachings that held plural marriage brought exaltation in heaven.

\"We're not rushing into court over this,\" said Mark James, [William E. Jessop]'s attorney. \"It's important to understand that this is not William E. Jessop's attempt at some sort of overthrow of the church. This is a guy who believes very strongly that he was the person designated to be the president.\" Jessop, 41, claims he was ordained to the post by the church's previous prophet, [Warren Jeffs]' father, Rulon Jeffs. The contention is seemingly proved in recordings of 2007 telephone calls made by Jeffs from a Utah jail. In the conversations - with Jessop, Jeffs' wives and other church leaders - Jeffs states that he \"never was the Prophet\" and that \"Brother William E. Jessop has been the Prophet since father's passing.\" \"Why is that any of the court's business?\" asked [Ken Driggs], who has had close ties to the FLDS community for more than 20 years. \"That would be like the court telling the (Mormon) church who is the successor.\"

\"We wanted him so bad to be good that we were willing to condone his dereliction of people,\" [William E. Jessop] told reporters in Texas after Jeffs' convictions. \"We built this golden calf. Now, we have to decide: Do we love God or do we love the golden calf?\" \"Lyle Jeffs is [Warren Jeffs]'s main man,\" [Sam Brower] recently told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. \"He's the guy who's going to be next. He's already taking over.\" \"I'll be very surprised if he steps down because he's in prison,\" [Anne Wilde] said. \"My guess is he'll try to maintain control through someone else on the outside, at least for a while.\"

NOTES: The [Alfred E. Driscoll] is the featured event tonight on the live telecast of the American Championship Harness Series (ESPN2, 10:30-11:30 p.m.). All three stakes on the show will originate at the Big M. In addition to the Driscoll, the lineup includes the $100,000 New Jersey Sires Stakes final for 3-year-old trotting colts and a $20,000 Open Pace for 3-year-olds. . . . The NJSS trot marks the second start of the season for Malabar Man, the long-range favorite to win the Hambletonian.

As usual, the annual Big M fixture for Free-For-All pacers attracted an excellent field, including Hot Lead, last year's Meadowlands Pace winner, and Dr Lecter Lobell, a Driscoll elimination winner in 1:50 1/5.
