LANCASTER, NEW ERA Local SATURDAY, MAY 12, 2007 B5 i THEATER REVIEW Drug agents seize $6,600 in cocaine, pot 'Inherit the Wind' has never lost its relevance I dont know what else we can do. Weve got to take back the streets, Keller said. One neighbor called for closed-circuit surveillance cameras to be installed in the area. Padilla said neighbors should sit outside their homes with garden hoses spraying unfamiliar people with water to discourage vandalism and theft. But, he said, they cant do that.

You cant judge everybody else for whats going on, he said. Its just bad whats happening. Cars Continued from B1 This time, the vandals also skipped the work van belonging to Stepanchicks next-door neighbor Michael Keller, of 329 Euclid Ave. The van was parked along the street in front of Stepanchicks car. Instead, they went to the alley behind the homes to spray the hood of Kellers Suburban.

It was the second time the Suburban was hit. His daughters Saturn has also been sprayed twice. Keller this morning talked of limiting access to the public street to residents of the area. CONTACT US: bharris LNPnews.com or 481-6022 Sheriffs Office for further investigation, the spokesman said. Echevarria was committed to Lancaster County Prison after failing to post the $500,000 bail set by Magisterial District Judge Bruce A.

Roth. Prior to searching the Manor Street home, Drug Task Force detectives and East Lampeter Township police stopped a westbound 1998 Buick sedan in the 2000 block of Lincoln Highway East, (Route 462) near Strasburg Pike. Police had been searching for the car for about two weeks. After stopping the ve-hcle at about 5:15 p.m. Thursday, Drug Task Force detectives immediately obtained a search warrant.

In the trunk, police found three one-pound sealable plastic bags of marijuana having a street value of $3,000, the task force spokesman said. A digital scale also was found. The two occupants, James Tyrone Boyer, 20, of 118 E. Ross Apt. 2, and Regis Conde, 19, of 907 E.

Orange were both charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana, criminal conspiracy and possession of drug paraphernalia. Boyer was committed to the county prison in default of $50,000 cash bail. Cone was released on $25,000 unsecured bail, police said. By JOHN M. HOOBER III New Era Staff Writer Drug enforcement agents seized about $6,600 worth of cocaine and marijuana from separate searches at a Manor Street home and of a car stopped on Route 462, east of the city.

The searches, both Thursday, resulted in three arrests, a Lancaster County Drug Task Force official said. Bail of $500,000 cash was set for Carlos Roberto Echevarria 35, of 525 Manor St. He was charged with possession with intent to deliver cocaine and marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and a Drug Free School Zone violation, Drug Thsk Force detectives served a search warrant at Echevarrias home at 6:45 p.m Thursday. The search team found three ounces of cocaine having a street value of $3,000 hidden in a kitchen cupboard, a task force spokesman said. In another cupboard, police found a shoebox containing a small amount of cocaine, about six ounces of marijuana that had a street value of $600, a digital scale and packaging material, the spokesman said.

From an upstairs bedroom, the search team confiscated $3,200 cash and a small safe that contained a loaded pistol, the spokesman said. Police said Echevarria had a gun permit for the weapon. The permit is being forwarded to the Lancaster County i i i i of citizengovemment cooperation. Barnett and the other residents, who paid for the trees themselves, worked with our office to get a permit from PennDOT, Danz said. PennDOT, along with drilling the holes for the trees, helped select appropriate species to plant.

Im a Democrat, Scott (Boyd) is a Republican, Barnett said, but here, the Democrats and the Republicans arent fighting. working together. Trees Continued from B1 have to be flying to hit ours! But Barnett said PennDOT has been great since, and he got together with neighbors in the effort to plant pine trees Its kind of neat, because its PennDOT and us working together, and its going to wind up being a great thing, said Barnett, as he took a break with neighbors Nick Guy and Bob Herr. Along with Danz and Laura Keener from his office, Boyd was on hand this morning to help with the planting effort, which he called a good story most likely in Nebraska. They chatter amongst themselves so naturally that they seem quite believable and down to earth.

There are quite a few standouts in the stellar cast, such as Chet Williamson as the Baltimore newsman E.K. Hombeck, who serves as our cynical conscience, warning us to not accept everything we have been taught and to challenge ourselves to think. Joe Myerling is brash and pompous as the lawyer and politician Matthew Harrison Brady, who handles the prosecution in the case of John Conforti as school teacher Bertram Cates, who has unwittingly become a national nemesis. Gary Smith founder and artistic director of Seventh Sister is Henry Drummond, defense attorney for Cates, who seems a little more disheveled than he needs to be. At first he -seems arrogant and out of sorts, then gradually wins us over with his deep-down, hid-den-away heart.

Kate W. Smith is Rachel Brown, the young school teacher who is clearly smitten with Cates, yet terrified of her fire and brimstone preacher father, Rev. Jeremiah Brown, played by Rich Barbour. Rachel wants Cates to apologize and put an end to the controversy, yet she knows in her heart that he cannot do that. Inherit the Wind is cohesive and thought-provoking as it looks at both sides of a highly polarizing issue that still has not been resolved some 80 years later.

Based on the verse from Proverbs 11:29, He that trou-bleth his own house shall inherit the wind, this timeless play stresses that is never finished. To think is to show that we have indeed evolved. 5 By LAURA KNOWLES New Era Correspondent 1 If Inherit the Wind does 1 one thing, it issues a warning that we will all be in big trouble when we stop thinking. In the Theatre of the Sev- 5 enth Sisters production of Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, the message comes through loud and clear, Right or wrong, we have to ask questions, seek answers and wonder why or else.

3 Director Lydia Brubaker provides us with a fast-paced, gripping courtroom drama that pits fundamentalists against Darwinists. And if the subject matter seems outdated be- cause it is based on the Scopes Monkey Trial of the 1920s, we 1 are quickly brought into the present day when a Pennsylva- nia town grappled with similar issues relating to teaching cre ationism in science class. Not only does Inherit the Wind move along seamlessly, but it creates a certain tension that compels us to start asking our own questions about ev-: erything from the war in Iraq to global warming to gay marriages. What becomes obvious is that whenever we refuse to see the other side, we cannot see the truth in its many shades of gray. The anxiety that Inherit the Wind provokes also comes from the layout of the Rafters Theatre at Millersville Univer-: sity.

With the actors on stage in the center of the close quar-: ters, the audience becomes part of the action. We feel that we are actually in the court- room, sitting with the Bible- 1 thumping church-goers who are appalled that a teacher in their close-minded community would dare to teach students about Charles Darwins theory of evolution, i The cast of mothers, fathers, school children, clerks, reporters and townspeople does a fine job creating the fictional com munity of Hillsboro, which is CONTACT US: doconnor LNPnews.com or 481-6033 CONTACT US: jhoober LNPnews.com or 481-6027 Power outage strikes 2,500 in city Have you Sudoku-ed today?
