DETROIT (AP) — Starbucks shot down a rumor that its coffee shops will give discounted drinks and food to undocumented immigrants on Aug. 11.

A company spokesman told The Associated Press in an email that the rumor is “completely false. One hundred percent fake.”

The company also took to Twitter to shoot down fake advertisements promoting the so-called “Dreamer Day.”

Blaine business fire less costly than first expected

BLAINE, Wash – A lot of fire engines responded to what turned out to be a pretty small fire at a Blaine business last night.

North Whatcom Fire and Rescue crews were called in an industrial fire Justesen Industries on Yew Avenue.

Owner Wolfgang Kommer says it wasn’t much of a blaze.

“The garbage cans actually caught fire, we don’t really know why or how. The police an fire engine came, and the cans went boom, it kind of slowed them down.”

But, he says he can understand the response since heavy black smoke was pouring from the building’s windows and vents.

“All the smoke made it look much worse than it really was. There wasn’t much damage, maybe 1- or $2,000.”

No one was hurt.
