Teacher finds Colonial-era document in classroom WHAT happened?! PEABODY, Mass. — A Massachusetts teacher cleaning up her classroom in preparation for a move has discovered a Colonial-era document buried in a pile of outdated textbooks and dusty scraps of papers. Michelle Eugenio, a fourth-grade teacher in Peabody, Mass., found the yellowed sheet of paper two weeks ago. Dated April 1792 and protected by plastic, it appears to document the payment of a debt by a Vermont man named Jonathan Bates. Peabody Historical Society President Bill Power verified the paper's authenticity. He tells The Salem News he was thrilled with the discovery. No one knows how the paper ended up at Peabody's Center School or how long it has been there. Bates served in the Continental Army in 1780 and died in 1808 at age 63. Chickens take center stage in Nevada senate primaries RENO, Nev. — Why did the chicken cross the road? In Nevada, it could be to comply with election laws. Chickens have been an issue in the Republican senatorial primary for the right to run against Harry Reid since one cardidate suggested patients barter with doctors, like when "our grandparents would bring a chicken to the doctor." Democrats blasted Sue Lowden's idea on a website, "Chickens for Checkups," and critics donned chicken suits at debates. That prompted Secretary of State Ross Miller to add the fowl attire to the items banned within 100 feet of the polls. Now, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals plans a vegetarian rally Tuesday with chicken-dressed pickets near a Reno polling place. PETA's Amanda Fortino says they have no political ties and won't break the law. 2010 Concepts Puzzles. Dist by King Features Syndicate, Inc. Couple says marriage vows submersed in shark tank RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — A New York couple has taken the plunge inside a shark tank. April Pignataro and Michael Curry were lowered in a steel cage into the tank to exchange their wedding vows at Atlantis Marine World in River head, N.Y., on Sunday. She wore a white wet suit; he wore a black one. The experienced divers spoke their vows into radio headgear transmitted to a minister outside the tank. About 75 guests watched from behind glass. The tank is part of the Lost City of Atlantis shark exhibit.
