IRIS SMOOT/Acorn Newspapers DENIES HE'S A HERO-- When a suspected drunk driver came down a quiet residential street in T.O. and plowed into Dale Saiger's car, a basketball hoop and a neighbor's car, Saiger ran outside and tried to help the man out of his smashed vehicle. After Saiger suggested calling the police, however, the man tried to flee. Saiger chased the man down and held him until authorities arrived. "I'm not a hero," Saiger says, "I just did what I had to do." Ironically, just a few months earlier, Saiger tried unsuccessfully to persuade neighbors to petition the city for speed bumps.
