Condolences to all of the Saskatchewan Roughrider fans who have to head home this morning without a Grey cup for the second time. there will be sadness and moaning in the coffee shops but time will heal the wounds and they'll likely be back again because that is the resilience of Saskatchewan fans. Until next time folks in the meantime thanks for the entertainment.

Speaking of entertainment, don't forget the Society Singers concert on Dec 2nd in the Centennial Centre field house. Start time is 7 p.m. and they'll take a silver collection in support of the Knights of Columbus Christmas hamper program.

Still in an entertainment vein, if you are around for New Year's Eve you can head up to Sandy Rapids Hall and spend it with Tiffany Dowhan and the folks from that area. Tickets are just $30 each and include dinner and dancing plus plenty of good times. Doors open at 5 p.m., dinner is at 6:30 and the dance starts at 9 p.m. For tickets or more information, contact Lenore at 780-826-5407 or Patti at 780-826-7443.

You might also want to call Lenore if you support those folks in their objection to the RII North America project to recover oil using an underground combustion process. Apparently they only have until December 2 to submit a letter of objection. Call her for more details on how you can help or just for more intormation. The test area is located above and between two of the most important aquifers in this whole region and their concern is for the potential, accidental contamination of this important water source.

Spent time with some great company on Saturday night over in Mallaig with the Haying in the 30s volunteers for our annual Christmas Potluck supper. It is amazing how that meal comes together without anybody making lists or deciding who brings what. Long time board member Don Katerenych from St. Paul stepped down so he could devote more time to his farming operation in Saskatchewan so there is an opening if anyone would like to step up to the plate just contact Norm Theroux in St. Paul or Edgar Corbierre in Mallaig. You'll be most welcomed and will meet some of the most dedicated people I've every come across.

Speaking of Edgar Corbierre, he has penned a short book about his life history including his ancestors trek here from Quebec and the trials and tribulations they faced coming to settle a new land. He made it primarily for his family members but its a pretty interesting read about how they managed with very little to tame this harsh land.

A rescue party reached a downed airplane in the remote wilderness and pried the door of the plane open to find the lone survivor dining on a human bone. In fact he was surrounded by a pile of human bones. "My God man, what have you done?" said the leader of the rescue party. "Hey, don't judge me" the survivor said. "I had to survive!" "Yes," the leader said "but the plane just crashed yesterday!" Have a great week. Dave
