		<description><![CDATA[Joel and Isaac Barkay, proprietors of Barkay Bros. Funeral Home on East Folkim St., announced recently that they had accepted an undisclosed sell their business. The local funeral home had been run by the Barkay family for 72 years. Joel and Isaac, lifelong bachelors aged 69 and 67 respectively, agreed to sit for an interview with The City Desk to tell the story of the rise and fall of Barkay Bros., and to reminisce over the most memorable moments on the job. Part one may be found here. Building upon the success of their late father, Joel and Isaac Barkay’s Barkay Bros. Funeral Home became the trendiest place in the city to have your corpse embalmed. Barkay Bros., over the last 47 years, has filled nearby posh Elmwood Memorial Cemetery to near capacity with a veritable Who’s Who among the city’s dead. “The most important quality an undertaker can possess, aside from a strong stomach, is discretion,” insisted Joel Barkay in a recent interview with The City Desk. “We’ve buried all sorts of famous people here. I could tell you who had tattoos, false teeth, false hair and false limbs. I could tell you who had plastic surgery or breast [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite a day-long search, scuba divers from the city&#8217;s police and fire departments were unable to locate the source of a thin slick of oil that spread yesterday over the western half of Micshcoon Lake, the disused reservoir on the northern edge of the city. While divers plunged into Mischcoon&#8217;s cold, gray, frigid waters, pitching forward off of mossy concrete embankments, silvery police boats skimmed across the far-out middle of the lake, slowing as they neared buoys flying red-and-white diving flags. Police Chief Anna-bel Guzman, who was directing the search efforts from aboard the M/V Larchmont, speculated that the leak may be under the northern half of the lake, outside of city limits and therefore outside of her department&#8217;s jurisdiction. &#8220;If it&#8217;s under [the northern half], we can&#8217;t touch it,&#8221; Guzman said, sounding both frustrated and amused as she lowered her binoculars. &#8220;Our divers are trying—they&#8217;re seeing oil bubbles—but the bubbles are pretty spread out and our first priority is to figure out which side of the line the leak is on.&#8221; The search for the leak was the first deployment of the Larchmont; the boat was purchased last year with a Department of Homeland Security maritime safety grant.
