Bee-hauling truck crash creates a buzz

ISLAND PARK, Idaho, July 12 (UPI) -- A semi-trailer truck tipped over along a highway in Idaho, spilling more than 14 million bees and a quantity of honey across the pavement, authorities say.

The truck, transporting honeybees to North Dakota from Bakersfield, Calif., crashed just north of Last Chance in Island Park, Idaho, about 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Idaho Falls' KPVI-TV reported.

The Fremont County Sheriff's office received many 911 calls alerting it to the accident, saying everyone at the scene was stung more than once, though none were seriously injured.

Firefighters sprayed fire foam on the bees and the truck before being able to access the wreckage.

Authorities put out a warning that there were still high numbers of bees in the area.

Tribal council passes gag pot resolution

SNOQUALMIE, Wash., July 12 (UPI) -- The chairwoman of the Snoqualmie tribe in Washington state says a resolution the tribe's council passed legalizing marijuana for a day was just a joke.

The resolution, signed by Snoqualmie tribal Chairwoman Shelley Burch declared marijuana would be legal on July 30 when Willie Nelson, who has been known to use pot, would be performing at the Snoqualmie Casino, The Seattle Times reported.

"It was just tongue in cheek at a council meeting; we know marijuana is illegal," Burch said. "It was a joke. We don't allow it and we don't back it. We passed it, but it was supposed to be just for him."

The resolution passed 4-2 Thursday, and when news got out to the tribe, the council received e-mails with subject lines such as "Are they crazy?" and "Is this for real?"

Casino Chief Executive Officer Jon Jenkins said he knew the resolution was a joke as soon as he saw it. Burch wrote to the casino staff saying it "was in jest and only a lighthearted welcome for Mr. Nelson, nothing more. It was not by any means a public policy statement. It was and is just a gag."

Sisters have been visiting wrong grave

NEW YORK, July 12 (UPI) -- Two women from New York's Queens borough are suing a New Jersey cemetery for burying their mother in the wrong grave plot 20 years ago, their lawyer says.

Evelyn and Hortense Edwards found out about the mix-up last summer when they complained the grave site where they thought their mother, Beatrice Williams, had been buried since her death in 1990 had fallen into disrepair, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday.

An employee at Rosehill Cemetery in Linden, N.J., told the sisters the grave plot No. 103 they had been visiting actually held the remains of a man and that their mother was buried about 90 feet away in plot No. 132.

The $25 million lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in New York alleges the sisters bought a plot at Rosehill Cemetery in January 1990, and intended on being buried with their mother in Grave No. 103, Row 20, Section 52, when they eventually passed.

"What they want to know more than anything else is to find out where their mother is actually buried," said Stephen Drummond, the attorney who filed the breach-of-contract lawsuit for the sisters.

The cemetery sent Evelyn Edwards a "casket verification release" form last year to have the No. 132 grave site in question excavated to verify her mother's coffin is there, the newspaper said.

'Missing' Britons didn't know it

LILLOOET, British Columbia, July 12 (UPI) -- A newlywed British couple vacationing in Canada learned they had been declared missing when police pulled them over Tuesday.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Ben Davies, 37, and his wife, Caroline, 28, had been on a backcountry camping trip and didn't realize they were the subject of a search, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.

RCMP Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said the couple were just fine.

The couple, who had arrived in British Columbia in June and had intended to return to Vancouver for a July 4 flight back to England, hadn't been heard from since June 22. When they didn't return home as scheduled, they were reported missing Sunday.
