"For some reason, we had to do a lot of takes of that scene."<p>To read more, head to the articles located <A class="link" HREF="http://www.pressrepublican.com/homepage/local_story_172234522.html?keyword=topstory">here</A> and <A class="link" HREF="http://www.citizens1st.com/story.asp?idstr=118459012">here</A>.<center></center>
