rfm3 Everybody Loves Ray Carpal Tunnel Registered: 05/30/04 Posts: 25489 Loc: Guarding the West NY Border	The U.S. Coast Guard is helping to search for a missing barge on Lake Erie Tuesday. The garbage barge was being towed by a tugboat when it came lose somewhere between Sandusky and Cleveland. The crew does not know where it was lost. The tug Kurt R. Luedtke backtracked its original path, did not locate the barge. A Coast Guard Station Marblehead 47-foot utility boat is assisting the tug to find the garbage barge.
