Local Youth's Recovery of Treasure Breaks Epic Drought

Cincinnatians are rejoicing that their historic drought has ended. And many believe that a local youth's discovery of his ancestral treasure has everything to do with it.

Yesterday afternoon Stanley Yelnats, a "client" at a mysterious rehabilitation facility for wayward youth, is reported to have recovered a collection of precious metals and jewelry that had belonged to his great-grandfather. Moments later, rain came to our region for the first time since the Gilded Age.

Officials of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration refuse to speculate on the connection between these events, though local folklorists believe that the recovery of the treasure, accompanied by other remarkable events, had the effect of restoring the balance of justice to our community and so lifting a curse that has existed since the days of Boss Cox.
