"WAITRESS PUTS OUT FIRE IN WOODS HOLE, MAY 26th, 12 p.m.

-By Cloe Grace, Age 9 - Sherborn, MA "This is a picture of Isel with my brother Jagger 3, my grandfather Howard Fisher and sister Anabelle who is 6."

Isel Garcia-Rena put out a fire Monday, May 26.
Our family was trying to find a place to eat in Woods Hole. We found a place called Phusion. Isel was our waitress. After she gave us our drinks we noticed there were flames and smoke coming from the outside of Handworks (the store across the street from Phusion). The street quickly filled with smoke and it was hard to see outside.

Our family rushed outside to get a better view. Isel ran over to Handworks with a big bucket of water and dumped it on top of the fire which had started in a trash barrel. The fire was nearly out and Isel brought one more bucket of water to make sure the fire was out. Five minutes later a fire truck came just to make sure the fire was not going to start again. When we all came inside again to sit down we thanked Isel so much for being our hero."

Cape Cod Bay Bass

"Striper Fever", How Big was that Fish?

The answer to Thursday's question posted on the MyCape blog for how many bass were caught on a single umbrella rig by a Charter in Cape Cod Bay was five!
Not all keepers, but as Rob Connery said in his article in Thursday's Cape Cod Times, "They were kind of small, but did I mention there were five of them?"
