WESTVILLE – Twenty years ago, when Rev. Doug Pilsworth began his career in the United Church, things were different.
“You enjoyed everybody and you had faith in your fellow person,” he said. “Now it’s more looking over your shoulder and wondering, your mind always questioning.”

Lahey was sentenced Wednesday to 15 months’ jail and two years’ probation for possession of child pornography. Lahey voluntarily served eight months in jail before his guilty plea and was allowed to go free Wednesday based on time served.
