phernalia.

WARREN
A fire marshal is investigat
ing an overnight blaze in War
ren's second fire this week.
Crews responded to a fire at
a vacant two-story building at 9
Buchanan St. about 3:14 a.m.
Warren Fire Department

CORRY
A set of triplet boys at the
center of a landmark local cus
tody dispute will turn 6 years
old in November.
A suit over the handling of
their birth, to a surrogate
mother living in Corry, is likely
to go to trial in Erie County
Court in early 2010.
Ajudge has refused a request
from the defendant, Hamot
Medical Center, to dismiss the
case, whose plaintiffs are the
triplets' biological father and
his fiancee, both from a Cleve
land suburb.
Judge Ernest J. DiSantis Jr.
rejected Hamot's arguments
that the plaintiffs filed the suit
too late. He said the statute of
limitations for filing the suit
hinged on the date of the final
custody order for the children
rather than the date of their
births. The decision, released
Sept. 15, puts the case on
course for trial as early as Feb
ruary.
