Daniel Jancura was only a few inches away from his mother, but she couldn’t see or touch him for some 15 minutes yesterday.

The quarter of an hour that Laura Jancura waited for her son to be freed from inside the locked Winchester gun safe on display at Sam’s Club on Barber Avenue felt like a lifetime.

The family made a stop at the wholesale warehouse to pick up some supplies in preparation for vacation. Daniel, 10; his older brother, Thomas; and their cousin, Tiffany Sackett, began pressing buttons on the gun safe’s electronic key pad and managed to open it.

“My brother saw a safe and opened it somehow. He just pressed numbers,” Daniel said.

The three opened and shut the door to the 575-pound safe a few times before Daniel got inside. The first time his cousin punched some numbers on the key pad and got him out, but the second time, he became trapped inside.

“My niece said Daniel is stuck in the safe. I said, ‘What?’ ” Mrs. Jancura said afterward, still shaken from what had just transpired. “My back was turned for 5 minutes. It doesn’t take more than 5 minutes.”

The Fire Department was summoned to Sam’s Club shortly after 2 p.m.

The Rutland youth baseball shortstop and pitcher remained calm while firefighters worked on the safe. Deputy Fire Chief John F. Sullivan called A.L. Purinton Corp., at 56 Grove St., a security company, and asked that someone come immediately just in case the safe needed to be forced open. It didn’t, however, because Sam’s Club employees were able to obtain an override code from the manufacturer.

Made me laugh.

With so many attractive women in the music industry, it’s no easy task to rank the top 50.

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, countless hours of research were put into these rankings. Thousands of pictures were scanned, hundreds of videos were watched, dozens of Wikipedia entries were combed through, and every woman on the list was thoroughly ogled to ensure a fair and accurate ranking. Weeks and weeks were spent investigating the hotness of these women.

I’m not sure if there is a language warning, but if you are offended by sexy pictures of women, then I wouldn’t click on the link.

This list made me think of one of the sexiest moments in music video history, and I’m sure any teen male of the 80’s would agreee – but the way Susanna Hoffs moves her eyes in the Walk Like An Egyptian video is tops.

As you pointed out in your cover story on the Democrats and religion [July 23], God has become pivotal in presidential campaigns—something I could not be more heartened to see. We are a country composed of atheists, agnostics and all brands of faith. In order to be an effective leader, you can’t just be the President of the Christians. It insults our intelligence to assume that we would let difference separate us. While faith is important, it does not negate our ability to make intelligent decisions about our leaders.
