Jul 25, 2007 — Standing with blood pouring from a deep gash in his head, two eyes nearly swollen shut and a broken nose, Richard Hupper was "almost zombie-like" as David Yates asked him questions about what happened inside a restroom at Farquhar Park Sunday.

Around 11 O'Clock Monday night snow squalls came across the area and dumped a surprise coating of snow that led to icy spots everywhere. The meteorologists didn't know what was going on (it wasn't in the forecast) until it showed up on radar. School superintendents trusted the science and got burned.
