Babies born four years apart -- to the minute

WEYMOUTH, Mass. -- Giving birth is like clockwork for Cheryl Stelljes. The Cohasset woman gave birth to a son, Adam, on Tuesday at 10:12 p.m. That was four years to the minute after the birth of her daughter, Lindsay, on June 27, 2000. "None of it was planned. It was all coincidence," father Stephen Stelljes said. Both babies had a June 15 due date and were nearly two weeks late. Cheryl Stelljes said she "really didn't want them to have the same birthday," but 4-year-old Lindsay doesn't seem to mind. "I'm going to share," she said.

Tight fit for boy who got stuck in chimney

LANCASTER, Calif. -- An 11-year-old boy had to be rescued by firefighters after he got stuck in a chimney while trying to get into his friend's locked house. Rance Hill spent 1 1/2 hours in the chimney June 29. The boy said he was trying to help a friend when he shimmied down the chimney at about 4:30 p.m. and got stuck feet-first. His friend called Los Angeles County firefighters. They tried to get him out from below, but finally they were able to haul him up with a rope. Hill also had some advice to other children. "Never go down a chimney or do something crazy like that," he said. "Not even for a thousand dollars."
