Rebecca,

I was told the story by someone who lives there. I was unable to find it with a Google search. However, I view the person who told me as a very reliable source. I will check with him to see if he remembers what newspaper it was in and then search their archives if they are online.

Bob,

Could you please post a link to the relevant news story? I do not
think that this is the sort of thing any of us want circulated
unverified. I truly am not sure what you meant to accomplish when you
wrote it.
