Don Bodnar on the Road at Lake Erie

Three disabled clients planted tomatoes and herbs as a show of pride, but someone damaged the planters stealing the plants. Police will monitor the planters as Nancy Shaner of Lark vows to replant. Bodnar asks readers to donate to Lark Enterprises with donor names published in his column, aiming to support the 42 handicapped program participants.

Stay of execution sought for Pennsylvania killer Frey
Harrisburg reports that lawyer Penn Glazier expects a U S Supreme Court decision next week on Frey’s bid to block the June 13 electric chair execution. Frey, 52, from Lancaster County, was convicted in 1980 of hiring a hit man to kill his estranged wife Barbara Jean. He sits in Huntingdon State Prison awaiting a ruling tied to Pennsylvania’s death penalty law, as Blystone’s appeal raises the same constitutional issue.
