"Vaughn peered in and saw his sister's head go under, so he jumped in, grabbed the front of her coat and lifted her up the best he could. The water, he said, was just under his chin.

"It was really, really cold," he said. "I started screaming for help."

This seven year old is one gutsy kid.

"She knows how to swim, but not without a (life preserver) jacket," Vaughn said. "I jumped in to save her."

G-d bless you Vaughn. G-d make his face to shine on you and give you peace.

They said they were lucky that he was out there. No they weren't---they were blessed by God that he was out there with her. Praise be to God!

When contractors hooked up (to the sewer), they would normally cut and cap the lines -- they didn't necessarily fill them (the tanks) in."

Don't you just love contractors. I know I do. /sar
