Scientists at the Weizman Institute of Science in Rehovot said they have isolated large quantities of allicin, garlic's main biologically active ingredient. The researchers found that allicin can disable infection-causing amoebas in test tubes. "We are now checking it on different kinds of cells." said Meir Wilchek of the institute's Biological Chemistry Department. CHEERS ESPN: Fans, food, sports BURBANK. Calif.

1997 York Daily Record 4095 10000 Airville man's killer convicted Timothy Good's body was found a year after he had been killed in his house in a remote area of West Virginia. By CARYL CLARKE Daily Record staff A man who presented himself as a religious leader will spend the next decade in prison, in part because he kept diaries detailing years of abuse that ended in the death of a former Airville dairy farmer. Timothy Good. 36, was beaten, strangled and left to rot in the basement of a planned commune in West Virginia. A burglar found the body i in 1994.

The diaries pointed to the killer. And a TV show put the spotlight on that killer. Good had sold his family farm in Chanceford Township, York County, in 1991 to buy an isolated West Virginia property for the charismatic, religious friend he knew as David Freeman. The name was one of many aliases used by William Cooper. But as time went on, Cooper confined Good to his apartment and allowed him out only with permission.

His penalty for disobedience could be three to six days without food, according to Cooper's diaries. For more than a year, Cooper lived with Elizabeth Whitehurst and their two children over Good's decaying body. They left the house about three weeks before the burglar arrived, said W.D. Lemon. the a Wetzel County, W.Va., prosecutor.

Police found the diaries in November 1994. when a burglar broke into the abandoned home and discovered Good's decomposed body in the basement. The astonished burglar called police and left the scene without taking anything. Police found pillows stuffed into air vents, Lemon said. The diaries hinted at other possible murders, but police found nothing to confirm that.

They also found no journal entries for after October 1993. Rachel and Harold Good, the victim's parents, visited the cabin after the discovery of their son's body. "We expected to find a lot of junk," Rachel Good said. "Everything was just as clean as could be. We found out that it was part of their daily routine to keep things clean.

Everything was so well organized." They found plans for enlarging the log house, Harold Good said. And there were lots of televisions and kitchen equipment, including four toasters. It looked like they expected many visitors, he said.

The rear tires of the tanker caught a ditch, causing the truck to turn on its side and spilling about 400 gallons of the liquid into a local stream.

A York County hazardous materials unit responded to the scene, state police said. No injuries were reported. Girl Scouts deny part in girl's drowning The answer to a lawsuit filed by the girl's mother says the 5-year-old could have been responsible. By TINA SCHATZ Daily Record staff "How can somebody be so How can they be so stupid?" Susan Scott asked as she clutched the legal paperwork in her hand and scowled. The paperwork held the Girl Scouts' answer to a lawsuit filed on behalf of Scott's granddaughter, Dominique Nicole Scott Cooper.

Dominique drowned at Gifford Pinchot State Park this summer while on a day trip with the Penn Laurel Girl Scout Council. About 40 other children between the ages of 5 and 12 accompanied her on the July 8 trip. Dominique went into the water with the other children shortly past noon. At 12:36 p.m., she was pulled out, conscious and injured. An hour later, doctors at York Hospital pronounced her dead.

Dominique was a petite, curly-haired girl preparing to enter kindergarten at the Alexander D. Goode Elementary School in York. In a lawsuit filed last month, her mother, Temeko Scott, claimed that the Girl Scouts organization was at fault because it didn't provide adequate supervision for Dominique. The Girl Scouts' answer to the suit was filed in the York County Court of See SCOUTS, page 6A Site of murder area enlarged Ohio W.Va. where Marshall County Tim Good was murdered Wetzel Monongalia Co.

Skehan, president of Dressel Welding Supply said a late start crippled him in the last election. That time, Skehan waited until February 1994 to announce his candidacy. Delp had launched his campaign four months earlier and earned the endorsement of top GOP brass and prominent business leaders. "They'd all committed themselves to Dan on the basis that they didn't think anybody else would run," Skehan said. The decision of the York County Republican Party to endorse a candidate in the primary was an uncharacteristic one.

Traditionally, party leaders let voters make the first pick, then throw their support behind the primary winner. Despite his tardiness, Skehan lost the May 1994 primary by just 5 percentage points. Delp's slim win surprised local GOP leaders, who had expected a crushing victory. "It was a very tight race," Skehan said. "And it was particularly tight when you consider the endorsements (Delp) had and the money he had." See SKEHAN, page 64 Skehan.
