Greetings everyone.
In having a say in the last paper of this calender year is great, hope everyone does well on their finals.

I would at first like to let everyone know what went on at the fourth annual bannock bake-off held in the admin building on October 19. the first place winners of the fried division are as follows: 1) Lila Wallace, 2) Lorriane Naziel, 3) was a tie, Ivy chelsea and Soo yinka Michel-Erickson. In the baked division; 1) Jean Walker, 2) Georgina Thomas and 3) Minnie B. So sorry to the people who signed up for the first nations' club, but unfortunately I didn't make the meeting with Jai Parmar so someone can restart the effort in January.

This fall I lost another relative, due to complications of Lupus, she was only 27 years old. My sister, brother-in-law and I left early saturday morning of October 27th, we hit the ditch this side of Vanderhoof, and we had help getting out before the tow truck arrived. Sad for him, but it saved us money. Then the road on the other side of Vanderhoof to Burns Lake was bad, but not impassable. It took five hours from Vanderhoof to Burns Lake. Well, we got to Burns Lake and there was snow everywhere and there was no power, and the roads were closed. We were stuck in Burns Lake with no gas, and no road open. The management of Rainbow Motel put us up for free, while another student was stuck in Houston, and they stayed in their motel room for four hours and the management wouldn't give their money back. I hope someone takes a copy of this paper to Houston to show them in Burns Lake, there is not money hungry entrepreneurs but people oriented businesses who help out in times of emergency.

To make this short, the funeral was cancelled till monday after the storm, and residents of the southside were put up in Burns Lake motels by our band, and other two first nations from the southside put their members up in motels till all danger passed. This shows a how three first nations look after their members.

Merry Christmas to all and see you again next year.
