Jubitane members of the Tessie Watching Club report seeing a large dinosaur swimminy in the waters of Lake Tess yesterday morning. The recent account is hotly refuted b local skeptics, who refuse to believe there is any truth to the legend that a dinosaur live beneath the surface of Lake Tess. The stories regarding the four limbed Mesozoic Er reptile have existed since the founding of Winters in 1889. “People couldn't believe th Fourside Rangers would ever win the Stanley Cup, but they dic.” argued an unidentifie Tessie club member. Critics of the report argue that the Tessie Watching Club experi enced a “group hallucination.” “You get a group of people camping out there in the snow—they catch hypothermia and start acting weird,” commented one: local pessimist “Remember when those producers filmed that rock video here last year? The same stu. pid stuff happened. You can't run around in the snowy woods wearing leather, chai: and a guitar.” Monkey Linked to Dinosaur Sighting? ‘An escaped laboratory monkey is believed to be linked to yesterday's sighting of Tessie the Dinosaur. Both locals and ‘experts remain puzzled over the mysterious series of events leading to the sigheing of che large reptile but speci lace that the primate encouraged the beast to surface. “I saw this monkey running around the Drugstore earlier today.” stated Thelma Dingquist, local pharmacist. “I yelled at him after he opened up a couple of ‘boxes of natives. Somebody gave the critter some gum and he wert away." The monkey was later seen following an unidentified youth inco a nearby forest.
