Visionaires -

My suggestion would be to have a reporter from one of the local newspapers 
(Lewiston Morning Trib or the M-P Daily News) approach the owners of this 
restaurant inquiring as to the validity of this claim and publishing the 
results.  This will either put an end to this rumor or force those responsible 
for starting it out into the open.

Just a thought,
