Two Saturday Treats

From Ben: She didn't seem to notice the odd juxtaposition of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial replica next to the Westfield Brandon mall, the names of 58,000 dead soldiers situated between the Crosstown Expressway and a giant orange tent made to look like a jack-o'-lantern.

Sacred Ground, read the sign. No cell phones, please.

From Sara: April Leight knows that her son killed another student Wednesday when his truck struck the boy's bicycle.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says Andrew Leight, 16, tried to pass another car on rural, two-lane Bullfrog Creek Road on his way to school and accidentally struck Fredrick Gardner, 15.

April knows her son skidded to a stop. Then he called 911. The dispatcher told him what to do, and Andrew gave the other boy CPR as he died.
