The past two days have passed quickly, like the wind flowing beneath the wings of an eagle. These days have brought with them both great happiness and sorrow for our clan. On Thursday, July 15, the year of the snake, we nearly lost four to the great smoke. An angry fire burst forth from their cookware as the young tribe members tried to stifle the flames by sticking their hands in the fire.


Their bravery and audacidy was rewarded by an end to the cruel fire, however the smoke set off strange, loud noises in the ceilings throughout the entire Residence Inn, and everyone had to be evacuated. Soon, the police and the fire department arrived and swirled in like caped avengers into the young ones' dwelling. The children learned an important lesson about where smoke comes from, and how to better control unpredictable fire's sneaky cousin (smoke). Our clan grew stronger, and we pass each day planning our revenge against fire and its evil cousin.

Food Crimes
The Case:

On Friday, July 16th, a jar of nutella went missing from Christina Bax's custody. She claims the tastey topping must have been stolen but could it be that Miss Bax just didn't want to share....


Suspects:



Rosie ; The most common food crime offender and nutella fiend










Agatha Nowinski; Has the reputation of eating anything and everything she sees, edible or not.











Christina Bax; Although friendly, has a dark side when it comes to sharing deserts (or any type of food for that matter).







Lucy Grinalds; Adores nutella.







I, Faith Richardson, was on the case. First I began my investigation with Bax and Grinalds, L. They seemed clean, but then a little birdie told me that Bax had been eating the nutella earlier and refusing to share. Bax assured me she would have shared, but I wasn't convinced.



Later that day I hit a block. I questioned my worth as a city slicker, and trudged around dejectedly. This was when I hit a break in the case. I saw Rosie and Agatha leaving the boat bay, smiling and giggling, with nutella on their fingers.



Ironically, I found that they had hidden the nutella near the weight scale, the last place anyone would look. I had to give them credit as I cuffed them and read them their rights; it was almost the perfect crime. They could spend life in prison thinking about the severity of their actions.



I returned the nutella to Grinalds, L, because I still didn't trust Bax with it. She seems shady when it comes to desserts. Agatha and Rosie however, could have their just desserts IN PRISON.

THE END



ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
Practice yesterday was the toughest yet. We found ourselves tested with everything we have worked on to this point, and mentally had to hold ourselves composed until we got the weekend off.
