From left; John & Jeanne LaSelva, the parents of New Jersey National Guardsman Anthony LaSelva, who was killed last month in a motorcycle accident while in Iraq, walk back to their seats after receiving momentos on their son's behalf during a ceremony saluting Iraqi veterans (and their families) from this area, soldiers of Company D 250th Brigade Support Battalion, who served an extended deployment in Iraq. How young the parents look to have a son the age of a soldier.

There's a fascinating section in the city of Trenton. It's like stepping into a modern city in Poland (this coming from someone who has never set foot outside of North America) but anyway, where it seems like all the growing is happening in suburbs, this is a thriving community within a city, the city I grew up in, and here's something you don't see everyday. Taking a leap of faith, Bishop John M. Smith, Catholic Diocese of Trenton, center, steps into the basket of a lift as he prepares for his ascension to bless the new roof at St Hedwig Church in Trenton. The ceremony happened, of course, after Sunday mass. Helping him are Robert Zaremba, the roofer, left and Father Jack Labinski, Pastor, St Hedwig.

And we have liftoff!

The faithful are pleased with the levitating Bishop.

Once the roof is done, the Bishop turns to bless the crowd below.

Bordentown is celebrating it's 325th Anniversary and since I'm the only one working Sunday, I got the assignment. Hey Ken!

Trenton firefighter Robert Bland, left, of Ladder 4, hoses off a man caught hiding out after a stolen car chase. The man jumped out of the car and off of a bridge and entered a storm drain. It must have seemed like a good escape route, but unfortuately for him, the width of the pipe became too small for him to go very far, so after a standoff, looking like a color-blind contestant at an audition for the Blue Man Group, he came out and gave himself up. At The Times, our resident punmeister Ralph quipped that the fellow must have tried to commit sewer-side. Ouch!

In Trenton, NJ, a lunchtime gathering was held at City Hall protesting the prosecution of black youths (the Jena 6) in a race-based incident in Jena, Louisiana.
