Mr Yoder said that one of his friends was in the middle of a visit with community elders to discuss a shunning for different reasons when the alert on his phone went off.

I know this is a terrible day for that person, but it is really hard not to find the humor in this little snippet of the story.

Shunning the school canoe? You'd better believe that's a-shunning!
