Car crashes into Rosebush Post Office

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 5:48 AM EDT


a 2006 Buick LaCrosse driven by 87-year-old Onalee Swindlehurst was jammed into the side of the building.

Ciochetto said that Swindlehurst told him that "her foot slipped."

Swindlehurst, a lifelong resident of Rosebush, was on her way to the post office to drop off some mail, her son Lynn Swindlehurst, said.

"If my mother were here, she would say 'I'm mad, I'm upset, that I did this,'" Lynn Swindlehurst said.

Swindlehurst said that his mother called him from the back seat of her car.

"An OnStar operator called me at work," Swindlehurst said. "I wondered what they wanted, and she told me that my mother wanted to talk to me. "And that she was in an accident."

Swindlehurst said that he is his mother's insurance agent, and that her automobile insurance would pay for the damage to her car and to the post office."

Ciochetto said that no one else was in the car, and alcohol was not a factor. Swindlehurst was taken to the hospital after complaining she had chest pain.

"The airbag was deployed," Chiochetto said. "When I arrived, she was alert."

Baltimore celebrates Poe's funeral in Poe style

(ARA) - Two hundred years ago, a man remembered for his dark sense of mystery, macabre stories and questionable sanity was born. Edgar Allan Poe is one of Baltimore's most famous residents, and his adoptive city is having a huge celebration this fall complete with displays of works inspired by his chilling tales and a funeral celebration around his grave.
Baltimore recognizes Poe in many ways - the Baltimore Ravens are named after one of his well-known characters, every year on the anniversary of his death the mysterious Poe Toaster anonymously leaves three roses and a bottle of cognac on his gravestone, and there are rumors of his ghost haunting Baltimore's The Horse You Came In On Saloon, one of the last places he was seen alive.

The Baltimore Museum of Art will be hosting an exhibition featuring works of art inspired by Poe's frightful tales and poems. Opening on Oct. 4 and extending into January, the exhibition will include rare prints, drawings and book illustrations, and will be accompanied by live performances, poetry workshops and film screenings, including the 48-hour film project which had a film team who had a Poe character, a line of dialogue from one of his works, a theme and 48 hours to complete their movie.

Just so happens I was there less than two weeks ago....
