Syracuse, N.Y. Ann Marie McCheyne is fed up with drug dealing at her apartment on the fifth floor of the Skyline Apartments. She uses a wheelchair, lives alone and has to keep her wits about her each time she leaves.
“It’s very dangerous in there,” the 71-year-old testified in a packed nuisance abatement hearing Monday morning. “You can very easily get in trouble.”
Recently, she returned home to find about a dozen people lined up in front of the apartment she’s most afraid of, she said. Strangers on the floor sometimes ask her unsettling questions, like whether she lives alone, and knock on her door late at night.

The core message that came from the six locals who placed at the East Super Regional tournament, last Saturday, was just getting to the state podium was not enough.
Finishing top four from the super regional locked in their trips to the podium, last week.
Saturday, in the Class 3A PIAA Championships at the Giant Center in Hershey, climbing the podium is the objective. All eight contestants in each bracket have guaranteed medals, meaning someone in each bracket will go 0-3 and still walk away with an eighth-place finish.
For Downingtown East’s Keanu Manuel (120 pounds) and Matt Romanelli (172), Downingtown West’s Dom Findora (126), Coatesville’s Nate Lucier (132), Kennett’s Trent Kochersperger (138) and West Chester Henderson’s Sammy McMonagle (145), getting to Hershey was no easy task, but finding wins there will be much tougher, with the lion’s share of the talent coming from the West super regional.
