Tanker fire on Coq

The Coquihalla Highway was closed after a tanker truck loaded with gasoline caught fire at around 7pm Saturday evening. Black smoke billowed from the wreck as the first and then second fuelloaded trailer caught fire. According to witnesses the fire began in the cab of the truck. The driver was shaken up but not injured. A Wildland Forest Fire Initial Attack Crew based out of the Haig Fire Base in Hope was on scene to ensure the fire did not spread into the forest. Traffic was shut down north of the snowshed with police clearing the middle lane for northbound traffic to return to Hope. The highway reopened around midnight, and lane closures continued into yesterday.

Re: WOS article

A Thousand Clowns

The Merritt Live Theatre Society will produce A Thousand Clowns, a play by Herb Gardiner. It’s the story of an off-thewall comedy writer (Murray) who abandons the work he hates to spend time raising a gifted and troubled nephew he loves (Nick). The two have a hilarious and unorthodox relationship. Since Murray doesn't have formal custody of his abandoned nephew, Social Services steps in to remove Nick from the home unless Murray reforms & gets a job. He has to choose between Nick and his personal happiness. Mixed in with this is a love relationship with one of the social workers (Sandy) who wants to move in and lovingly reorganize Murray's life. The play will be performed later this year. Auditions will be held Tuesday August 25 & Wednesday Aug. 26th, by appointment, after 7pm each night. Please call 378-0324 to read for a part, or [email protected] and state your preferred reading date.

Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog . He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says, "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers, "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl". The man says, "But I am not a New Yorker!" "Oh ,then it will say in newspapers in the morning, 'Brave American saves life of little girl'," the policeman answers. "But I am not an American!" says the man. "Oh, what are you then?" " The man says: "I am a Saudi!" The next day the newspapers says, "Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog."
