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.

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!

On the occasion of celebrating 75 years as a franchise, the Philadelphia Eagles provided fans with as close to a stress-free experience as is possible for an Eagles fan. They scored touchdowns on their first five possessions.

Running back Brian Westbrook had two touchdowns rushing and one receiving as he posted his second career 100-yard rushing/100-yard receiving game.

Wide receiver Kevin Curtis tied an NFL record for most receiving yards in the first half with 205, he also had a total of three touchdowns.

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. Later, demonstrators formed a human chain and held hands across the "Trenton Makes" bridge, which crosses the Delaware River between PA & NJ.

Hamilton Township's 25th Annual Septemberfest was well-attended to say the least. If you don't know, it's a huge festival held in Veteran's Park featuring things like crafts, food, family fun, entertainment and a Baby Crawl Contest. These young, but tenacious athletes don't go to school and don't hold jobs, but they train for most of their lives for this competition. Parents will use any trick they can think of, bending the rules of fair play without hesitation, to cajole their future track star across the finish line ahead of the others.
