A small fire at a west side school was the result of an art project that didn't go as planned. Nobody was injured in the incident. Firefighters responded to 6510 Schroeder Road, Madison Waldorf School, for reports of smoke on the second floor. No signs of fire were seen from the outside of the building as Engine Co. 12 arrived on scene. All students and teachers were safely evacuated. An employee approached firefighters to explain there had been a small fire but it was extinguished. Firefighters confirmed there was no fire, and Ladder Co. 7 assisted Engine Co. 12 in clearing smoke from the building. Upon investigation, it was found that students were doing an art project involving wax in a pot on an electric burner. Heat on the burner was set to "high" and wax boiled over, starting a small fire. The pot was covered with a towel and thrown outside. Other than some spilled wax, no damage occurred and there were no injuries.

Ian Austen/The New York Times To the Editor: Re "As Eligibility Expands, Is Assisted Death Too Easy in Canada?" (news article, Sept. 19): Suicide is a terrible word, but it is not always a terrible act. The Canadian woman tortured by constant pain looks forward to the assisted suicide her country allows her. Thirty-nine years ago, in New York, my mother was the grateful recipient of an assisted suicide, although it was illegal in the U.S. and still is, in New York and in all but 10 states and Washington, D.C. And even where it's legal, you have to be patient and wait until the government gives you the OK. But Canada even allows certain applicants to speed up their assessments, although some Canadians don't approve of that.

What Is Verelan? Verelan ( verapamil ) is an oral prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), chest pain (angina), and certain heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias).
