HIT: To Cayuga County Sheriff deputies David Harkness and Timothy Axton and passing motorist Matthew Willis, who likely saved the life of Jeremy Liddle on Monday morning.

Liddle's Dodge Durango rolled over several times and sheared a utility pole on Route 34 in Sennett. The deputies and Willis lifted the vehicle to free Liddle.

Law enforcement officers are used to being ready to save people at a moment's notice, but still their act of heroism deserves applause. Willis' involvement shows that good samaritans are still needed.

MISS: The second Elbridge cat killer, Dustin Gauger, was sentenced to the maximum penalty of two years in state prison in Onondaga County Court Monday.

Now that Gauger and Kyle Custer, the other cat killer, are imprisoned, let's hope they take the time to learn from their despicable actions and become better representatives of the human race.

HIT: The Auburn High School boys swim team showed they're pretty good on land as in the water.

The Section III champions took time out to read to children as part of Seymour Library's TV Turnoff Week.

Other Auburn High School teams have read to children or spent time with senior citizens, so it's always noteworthy to recognize the teams' positive accomplishment.

HIT: The Take Back the Night march is always welcomed as a way to bring awareness to the persistent plague of sex crimes and abuse.

Survivors of these horrors need to know they are not alone.

And coming the same week an Auburn man admitted he tried to arrange a sexual encounter with a teen over the Internet, the march is a reminder that awareness is sorely necessary.
