Three residences in a multi-fam-ily residential unit were evacuated after an embankment gave way on the 1200 block of the South Island Highway on Wednesday morning.
At approximately 9:45 a.m.,
emergency crews were alerted to a possible mudslide and structural damage to the complex, where the bank behind it had sheared off and come crashing into the southwest corner of the unit.
There was a fair amount of debris that came down, accord-ing to Campbell River Deputy Fire
Chief Thomas Doherty, adding that geotechnical engineers and structural engineers attended the scene to determine the extent of the damage and assess the possibility of subsequent slides.
If the rains continue, its obvi-ously a concern for us, and were going to keep a close eye on it.
The tenants of the three evacu-ated residences will now have to await the report from the struc-tural engineers before being allowed to return home as the rest of the building nervously awaits the report from the geotechnical engi-neer in regards to possible subse-quent slides.

How bout that weather out there, eh?
The series of recent weather sys-tems drenching the region brought with them some issues.
Heres a quick rundown of the situ-ation with the two major waterways in the area as of the time the Mirror went to print:
The Campbell River
The Upper Campbell Reservoir is almost full, meaning BC Hydro may soon be unable to do anything to slow the flow of the Campbell River.
Due to the wet weather this week, according to Stephen Watson of BC Hydro, the reservoir rose 1.1 metres between Monday and Tuesday, and as of Wednesday afternoon was at 220.3 m. Once the reservoir level reaches 222 m which it could eas-ily do this week all future inflow would be diverted directly into the already brimming Campbell River, as that is the maximum acceptable level to ensure dam safety.
Watson says that they are trying to release as much water as possible during low-tide periods to avoid
Region recovers from wet week

Slide forces partial evacuation of Island Highway complexMud and debris sheared off the embankment behind 1216 South Island Highway Wednesday morning, causing the evacuation of three units of the building.

Mayor Andy Adams says that while he is in office he will aim to make City Hall more development friendly and encourage invest-ment in the community.
Adams said while city staff have done a great job in streamlining the development process, more can be done.
To that end, Adams said at last weeks inau-gural council meeting that he plans to form a working group to aid city staff in the develop-ment process.
I am recommending that a short term Devel-opment Advisory Task Force, led by Coun. (Colleen) Evans and myself, be established to review land use and development processes to assist staff in mak-ing Campbell River one of the most desirable places to do business, Adams said.
The D e velop ers Forum that staff con-ducted last year, and the Development Guides, have real ly helped
improve the process. We need to build on that.
Adams said Campbell River City Hall has the benefit of experienced staff.
We have the exper-tise and talent right here in Campbell River that can share experi-ences from other com-munities that can make things simpler, easier and more cooperative for staff and the public wanting to do business here, Adams said.
That will attract investment and encour-age families and busi-ness to choose Camp-bell River.
Adams said that infra-structure issues and community planning need a second look as well.
There are infrastruc-ture and storm water issues in both the east and the north areas that need to be considered, Adams said.
And there is the revi-talization of the down-town and improve-ments to the Campbell-ton area where some of the processes and regu-
lations may need to be revisited.
Theres also the issue of community growth.
Several years ago the city developed an exten-sive, award-winning Sustainable Official Community Plan. This community-based doc-ument guides develop-ment and infrastructure for growth of our city, Adams said.
There are several key areas in the plan that need to be addressed. One is land use and where and how we identify and plan for residential growth.
Adams said coun-cil needs to determine whether the city should and could expand its southern, western or northern boundaries and what is required to make that happen.
He said for the time being, however, its clear that the citys neigh-bours to the south are not amenable to joining the city.
In a referendum this past June, an over-whelming 589 people voted no, while 110 voted yes to joining
Campbell River in order to take advantage of the citys sewer service.
The recent referen-dum in Area D clearly stated the desire of Area D residents that they are not interested in growth and development within the electoral area to the south, Adams said.
But hes still hoping that a painless, straight-forward and simple development applica-tion and approval pro-cess will attract and encourage families and business to choose Campbell River as a place to live, work and play.

The plummeting price of oil may have a big impact on the Canadian and B.C. economies in the next year or two.
Some of that will be positive, but it is likely that it will be mainly negative.
The price of gasoline (but not diesel fuel) is falling, and that means more money in the pockets of consumers. This helps them meet other obligations,
such as rent, credit card bills and child care. If the provincial and regional governments can avoid the temptation to tax
this newly-found money out of peoples pockets, the fall in prices will be a good thing.
One other bright spot may be a boost in exports if the dol-lar remains low. The negative implications are widespread. There will almost certainly be a fall in economic activity, and particularly jobs. Many well-paying jobs are concentrated in the oilsands. Many Campbell River residents either work there or work for companies that supply the oilsands.
There will be no new construction projects in that area, as long as oil prices stay at the $60 to $70 per barrel level. It sim-ply costs too much to produce oil from the oilsands. As eco-
nomic activity is reduced, it impacts taxation to the federal and provincial governments. Alberta, Saskatchewan, New-foundland and B.C. all are dependent on revenue from oil and natural gas. In B.C., one LNG project has been delayed by the falling price of oil, as Asian natural gas prices are tied to oil prices. More could be delayed or even cancelled. It is significant that none of the major LNG players are ready to commit. A fall in economic activity likely means that 2015 will see much lower growth than anticipated, which wont help the overall Canadian economy.

If you were born anytime before about 1987, youll know that sometime in the 1980s Folgers Coffee began running their iconic Peter Comes Home For Christmas commercial, where a man breaks into his parents house (okay, it looked like the door was probably unlocked), and is met by a young girl who welcomes him and tells him Every-ones asleep.
He tells her Shhhh, I know how to wake them up, and they make coffee together, the smell of which wakes up the rest of the house. The family comes downstairs to find a clearly-unexpected Peter, their now-adult child, and they celebrate being together for the holidays and coffee.
Despite the terrible acting, the message is the one that has stuck with me through all these years, and likely will to the end of my days.
Its the message I got (maybe not directly expressed in words, but it was there) from my family as I grew up, too.
This season is not about the pile of gifts under the tree or the new car with the big bow on it in the driveway (has any-one else always wondered if you actually get one of those bows if you buy a car in December?). At least it shouldnt be.
Its not even the look on a childs face as they unwrap that gift that makes it spe-cial despite that definitely being one of the best parts of the season.
Its being there to see it. The gift of
being there is the best gift of all.I remember my first Christmas away
from my family. I was maybe 24.I thought it would be fine. I told myself
it didnt matter, because, thankfully, I was with another family who welcomed me like one of their own but it wasnt the same. All I wanted for Christmas that year was to be with my mom and dad, the way it had always been, and I would have traded any and all of the painstak-ingly-wrapped gifts I received that year and the next (and the next) in order to have had that opportunity.
After wed opened gifts and had break-fast that year, I wandered in the snow and cried most of the day.
Think about that while youre out fin-
ishing off your shopping this year. No, dont think of a 24 year-old me
wandering in the snow wiping tears off his face that would be super weird but think about whether you get be with the people you want to be with this season.
If not, think about whether you can remedy that, even if it means fewer gifts for people.
Because I guarantee the people youre buying for would rather see you happy than own whatever it is youd be wrap-ping for them, and youll be happier this holiday season if youre with the people you love.
Thanks, Folgers (and Mom and Dad).Now, wheres my coffee?
From all reports, Suzanne Cote brings an eminent legal background to her new role as a Justice on the Supreme Court of Canada.
It is quite a paradox, then, that the recent appointment of the insightful Ms. Cote to the Court was done in such a cheap and arbitrary way.
In the past number of years, there have been both a hear-ing process and a Selections Panel in place, in which all par-ties in the House of Commons could confer with the legal community and participate in the short-listing and screen-ing of candidates for appointment to our highest court.
Not any longer. In yet another move to consolidate power and silence debate, Prime Minister Harper has now twice bypassed both the hearing and the panel process, thus squelching this wider, valuable input into these crucially important appointments. This is shameful, and exactly the opposite of the transparency and accountability Mr. Harper was first elected on. This begs the question: Are we simply to accept that that was then, but this is now?

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Two more Quadra Island properties want in on new sewer ser-vice.
T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District (SRD) board of directors was expected to decide at a meeting Thursday, after the Mirror went to press, whether to include two additional properties on Pidcock Road in the sewer extension boundaries.
Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer of the SRD, said adding the extra properties wont affect costs for the original 36 properties online to receive sewer service.
An analysis of con-struction cost esti-mates has confirmed that the addition of the two properties can be accommodated within the extension proj-ect without impacting the per property cost ceiling offered to the original 36 properties, Hotsenpiller wrote in a report to the board.
This would be con-
ditional on a further proportionate infusion of Gas Tax funding from Electoral Area C.
The owners of the properties in question are aware of the cost implications associ-ated with inclusion to the extension project boundaries.
A n i n f u s i o n o f $392,400 in federal Gas Tax funds towards the cost of the sewer project has the original 36 properties paying $9,100 plus an addi-tional cost to hook up their property to the sewer line which will vary from home to home.
Before the Gas Tax funds were applied, though, the properties were looking at having to pay $16,630.
A petition in May 2012, to gauge sup-port for the project at the more expensive, $16,630 cost, failed with only 30 per cent of affected residents sign-ing in support of the project.
That changed this past July when the regional district offered
the lower cost and instead hosted a refer-endum.
In that referendum, 18 people voted in favour while 15 voted against. The 55 per cent affirmative vote was enough to go ahead with the $720,000 proj-ect.
Abram said after the referendum that the sewer expansion, which will get proper-ties in the foreshore and Pidcock Road areas of Quadra Island, as well as on Heriot Bay Road, off of septic systems, will benefit the entire community.
It l l ser ve some people who real ly, really need the service because of failing sep-tic systems and itll be a benefit to the environ-ment, Abram said.
That appears to have resonated with at least a few Quadra Islanders.
In addition to the two properties seeking to be included on Pidcock Road, two other prop-erties on Green Road applied in September to also join the sewer service area.
Hotsenpiller said the main reason for those requests was trouble-some on-site sewage
systems.Construction on the
sewer extension proj-ect is expected to get underway in the spring of next year, with com-pletion estimated to come sometime next fall.

There wasnt much business to attend to at the inaugural meeting of the School District 72 (SD72) 2014-2018 Board of Trustees other than making its members offi-cial.
SD 7 2 S e c re t r ar y -Tresurer Kevin Patrick opened the meeting Tuesday night in the Chair at the head of the table, thanked those in attendance and read the names of those who won seats on the board in the recent municipal elec-tion.
Those names are (in alphabetical order): Ted Foster, Richard Frank-lin, John Kerr, Gail Kirschner (Sayward Val-
ley), Joyce McMann and Susan Wilson (Quadra Region), who then took their oath of office as a group.
Patrick then asked for nominees for the position of Chair of the Board for the first year of the term. Trustee Hagen nominated Trustee Wil-son for the position, she accepted that nomi-nation, and was then acclaimed as Chair, as no other members were nominated.
Thank you for your vote of confidence, Wil-son said. I am pleased to accept the position and I want to say how much I recognize that the board is a team, and I really look forward to working with the new trustees, our returning
trustees, as well as our fabulous senior manage-ment team and all of the support staff who do so much for us behind the scenes.
Looking ahead, I believe I can speak for the whole board when I say that we look forward to continuing to develop a really effective work-ing relationship with our educational partners, characterized by respect, transparency, communi-cation and consultation, and working together, always putting our stu-dents first. I think its going to be a wonderful year and term.
She replaced Patrick at the head of the table, but almost immediately had to vacate that seat temporarily to nominate
McMann for the position of Vice Chair.
Foster was also nomi-nated for that position by Trustee Hagen, and won the seat in a board vote.
The meeting was then adjourned, with the next sitting scheduled for Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. at the SD72 office on Pinecrest Road beside Rod BrindAmour Arena.

InPower BC, through ASL-JV, and BC Hydro have teamed together to provide a $1,500 dona-tion to the Campbell River SPCA, as a result of the construction work at the John Hart project.
Our contractor needs water to support their drilling equipment to excavate the new tunnel and generating station, and ASL-JV came to us about the possibility of pulling water off the John Hart penstock, says BC Hydros Stephen Watson. In any poten-tial agreement with a third party, BC Hydro must be compensated for water withdrawn that would otherwise be used for power generation. Given the small amount of water calculated over the next few years, and the order of magnitude of the compensation,
both parties agreed it would be best to donate the funds to a local char-ity.
Were glad to make this donation to the local SPCA, says Scott Marshall, project man-ager for ASL-JV, the civil
contractor on the John Hart project. Our crews are members of the com-munity and we want to support Campbell River where we can.
The agreement is good news for the SPCA who recently opened a new
location on 13th Ave. The B CSPCA is
strictly funded by dona-tions community sup-port like this is the most important thing for us to continue to operate, said Stephanie Arkwright, Campbell River SPCA.

Are you writing a biog-raphy, family history, memoir or fictionand want the support of fel-low scribes?
The Museum at Camp-bell River is presenting a bi-monthly Writers Workshop this winter, Jan. 24 through March 21, 2015, from 1:304 p.m.
Each session wil l have a specific theme. Instructor Jeanette Tay-lor will guide partici-pants through writing exercises and discussion about ways to engage readers, craft elegant sentences and create vibrant scenes with life-like characters.
There will be plenty of writing time in class, with exercises that advance participants writing projects. They will also engage in facili-tated peer reviews to gage reader response and share their insights with classmates.
Taylor has four books in print, including River City, A History of Camp-
bell River & the Discov-ery Islands and BC Best-seller Tidal Passages. She teaches writing classes and workshops in the north island with her colleague Annette Yourk and manages a writ-ing service called The Scribes.
Most of the subjects to be covered in the workshop will be based on the book The Mak-ing of a Story, which is a required purchase for the workshop.
For those who are still at the ideas stage of a writing project, Tay-lor will team up with Annette Yourk to pres-ent an introductory ses-sion on January 11 on Quadra Island.
The focus here, says Taylor, is an overview of a book project. Well talk about ways to hone your research, plan a narra-tive, and get launched.
There is an additional fee of $30 for this, says Taylor, which includes
handout material to help you prepare for the workshop series.
This session will be followed by an optional session on conducting historical research.
The fee for the work-shop ser ies at the Museum at Campbell River is $130, with the additional purchase of the book The Making of Story by Alice LaPlante from your bookseller.
The standalone ses-sion, An Introduction to Narrative Planning, on Jan. 11, costs $30. Advance registration is required for both this and the workshop as spots are limited.
Call Campbell River Museum at 250-287-3103.
Check their website
http://www.crmuseum.ca/or the instructors site at www.thescribes.ca for more details (While youre there have a look at the site blog, The Writers Study, for tips on writing and local his-tory tales).

It wont be long before homes are made Christ-mas cozy with the scent of pine, the sounds of carols and the warmth of family.
Campbell River resi-dents are invited to cel-ebrate this festive time of the year with River-city Players and Charles Dickens.
Now a Christmas tra-dition across Canada, a dramatic reading of Dickens A Christmas
Carol will be presented at Rivercity Stage, 1080 Hemlock Street on Fri-day December 19th and Sat. 20th Dec. at 7pm. All proceeds will benefit the Campbell River Food Bank, in true Dickens fashion.
We are a community theatre group that con-tributes to the art scene in Campbell River, says Phil Atkinson, president of Rivercity Players, and now we are using our art
to contribute to a worthy community charity.
It is going to be a true celebration of the Christmas season, says Bill Walton, who is orga-nizing the event. Hope-fully, it will get everyone into the Christmas spirit and make a real differ-ence for the Food Bank during this special time of the year.
The Rivercity Players production of A Christ-mas Carol will be read by selccted and well experi-enced personalities from this local theatrical soci-ety, and music accompa-niment will be provided by members of the-
Campbell River Singers.Since 1990, people
across Canada have been crowding into churches and theatres to hear Dickens timeless story read aloud over the holi-day season. Produced in hundreds of communi-ties across Canada, the Christmas Carol raises money for many needy charities.
Admission to the show is by donation, either cash or non-perishable foods, but tickets are required to ensure a seat and are available, at no charge, at Impressions Gallery, CR Laundromat, and The Comfort Zone.

Actor/artist pencils perfection
A Christmas Carol reading at Rivercity
Artist Breanna Pod-lasly will be at work in the Campbell River Art Gallery Saturday, from 1-3 p.m., capturing the beauty of animals with her unique pencil draw-ings.
I love the perfec-tion and detail you can get with a pencil and how everything you can imagine can be brought into reality and seen for others to enjoy, Podlasly said of her work. Its like living out your fantasies
and creations.She said living crea-
tures inspire her as an artist.
Animal eyes have something that pull me in and make me feel the colours and fe at hers and life that surrounds the world, she said. I feel as if there is something pure and untouched.
Its beautiful.
Podlasly, originally from Sointula, graduated
from secondary school in Port McNeill in 2012.
As wel l as working as an artist, Podlasly is an actor who has appeared in several popu-lar television shows, includ-ing The 100 and
Arctic Air. Come see her at work at the Campbell River Art Gallery Satur-
day, December 13, from 1 - 3 p.m.

Great HamiltonCarihi Mirror
It is hard not to be engaged with the com-munity as a Carihi stu-dent.
There are many clubs and organizations to be involved with at the school. To profile one of them, Carihis Global
connection group, I sat down with former Carihi Mirror journalist Tara Warkentin to talk about the club and projects she is spearheading.
I wanted to have a medium for creating positive change and get-ting to know whats going on in the world a little bit more, Warkentin said. I
had a conversation with my friend who said I feel so sad and helpless when I hear about tankers or pipelines, or anything thats going on, and I thought hey, I feel help-less too. But I dont feel sad because I dont feel connected. So I wanted to feel more connected to things going on outside
of our [insular] world. Currently, the club is
working with Amnesty International as a base to write letters of appeal for relief of people in human rights-violation cases around the world. On Wednesday, Dec. 10, the group took part in Write for Rights, a worldwide letter writing event doing just what was mentioned above.
[As a club] weve written a few letters of appeal. But basically with Write for Rights there are seven cases and Amnesty collects signatures and letters and words of appeal for those cases. So theres going to be big sheets of paper for three of the cases. And every class in the school will read an article on each of the cases, then write a few sentences down for whichever case they feel most passionate about. At lunch, there will be a table set up where any-
one can come write a few things if they didnt get the chance to in class. Then the sheets are sent to whomever has author-ity over the cases.
Other goals for the year include Skyping with a school in India, to talk to students their age and find out some of the similarities and differ-ences in their education and lifestyle. Once con-nected with the school in India, Carihi global connections would find issues in the community or school they could help the students in India with. This includes a gar-den at the school, goats at a local orphanage, one long-term goal was even access to contracep-tion. These goals would be met through various fundraising events and letter writing.
At Carihi, there is no excuse to be apathetic about community or global issues.

The Grad Sleepover is an annual tradition for Grade 12 students, one where the upcom-ing graduates have an opportunity that isnt often given: to forget about the stresses of graduation and break loose within the halls of their school.
Although for some, it holds a heavier, more sentimental meaning.
The sleepovers sort of a rite of passage. Its also really great for bringing the grad class together and allowing them to socialize, said Alexei Hauser.
The night included numerous activities, such as movies, a giant Twister mat, and an even larger costumed Dodgeball tournament. But according to Jane Kolmatycki, one of the original hosts of the sleepover, it didnt start out that way.
It was an idea that I came up with about 10 years ago. I just love doing grad so much and I was thinking about how much fun it might be to have a night of curling up in sleeping bags, all lying in the multipur-pose room and watching movies, Mrs. K, as the students affectionately call her, said. The first
year it was only about 60 kids, and that is what we did watched movies all night. Some slept, some didnt.
Since then, the number of students attending has grown, with about 120 kids each year. Although they arrive with vari-ous sleeping accessories, many make it a personal mission to avoid sleep even if it means crashing in class or in the hallway the next day.
T h e d a y a f t e r sleepover is one of the most relaxing days. It is one where some teach-ers just schedule a whole block of sleeping and throughout the halls, that is what you see: students
sleeping and wander-ing around completely dazed. Not to mention the exhausted teachers that stay up with the students, Alysha Wall, a Grad Exec. said.
Despite the unavoid-able loss of sleep, its completely worth it to Kolmatycki.
I get so many com-ments from parents about how wonderful it is to see kids having such innocent fun, just like elementary school, which is what we want to do recreate that child-hood experience one more time before they all leave for the great big world.

In November there was cam-paign held by B.C.s Federation of Labour to pressure the pro-vincial government into raising B.C.s current minimum wage of $10.25 an hour to $15.
The jump in wage would affect everyone. Some people are all for it.
I think minimum wage should be increased, and not just because Im a teenager, there are a lot of people trying to live off $10.25 an hour and take up multiple jobs just to live comfortably, Kaija Howse said.
Lots of people agree, but find $15 is a big jump.
Why not $12.50, meet half-way, asked Paige Wagner. She also mentioned the cost of liv-ing, and so did Spencer Makus.
Everything else such as food and basic necessities will get raised again, taxes will increase, Makus said.
Others look at the possible raise a bit differently and think it might not be fair.
There are people who went through university for a cou-ple years to be able to make 15 dollars an hour, and now people who didnt care to get an education, and have a mini-mum wage job are surprised they cant support themselves, Nicole Reusch said.
Those not for the increase, dont see the minimum wage jobs as career positions, and find the pay acceptable based on the working standards.
If you feel like youre mak-ing less than you should be, ask for a raise. You shouldnt expect one if youre not will-ing to work for it. It should be
earned, not handed to you, Joey Sidhu said.
A supervisor at Moxies men-tioned the servers get paid even less than minimum wage. This is because its standard for most people to leave a tip, but not all
do: Everyone should be paid equal. When youre only mak-ing $9 an hour and someone doesnt tip you it makes for a pretty sad night, let alone pay-check.
That being said, $15 is a lot to ask for.
The owners of small indepen-dent businesses find themselves in danger if the minimum wage was to be bumped up. They say that they wouldnt be able to have as many employees, or if I did they wouldnt get as many hours. I would be work-ing more often to try and keep my business running.
The cost of living is steep; especially in B.C. Bringing the minimum wage up to $15 an hour would make it the high-est in the country.
However, no matter the pos-sible increase, there will be both positives and negatives.

Cell Phones are an everyday item found in almost every home.
Whether used for work or personal use, a cell phone is clutched in the hands of most Canadians, in fact, according to statistics Canada, 83 per cent of Canadians own and use cell phones.
Teenagers have a particularly bad reputation for having a cell phone addiction. Regardless of what they are doing, they always seem to have a phone in their hands.
I notice people spending more time with their phones and other electronic devices than the people theyre with, says Carihi student Matt Reise.
Reise isnt the only one who notices this.
Honestly, Im too busy on my own phone to notice how much other people use theirs, admits Katie Crombie, Robron student, but if someone is standing right in front of you, who took the time out of their day to put all of their attention on that specific conversation,
they are far more worthy than tapping on a keyboard to some-one across town. Its almost like Ill get more attention and an actual conversation if I put my opinion on Facebook or send it through a text.
Technology made it easy for us to stay in touch while keeping a distance, says Hai-ley Anderson, a Timberline
student. But now, we just keep the distance and dont bother to keep in touch,
Most teens have a really hard time putting down their phones, but what about adults? You dont often hear as much about the negative cell phone habits the average parent has. Between work, volunteer and social commitments, my phone is always close, says Kirsten Billings, mother of two. Din-ner time is the one time in our home where cell phones are always put away. Its often the only opportunity we have to sit down as a family. We dont need the distractions of cell phones.
As hard as it is for us all to put our phones down, its cru-cial we communicate as a fam-ily,
evan JohansenCARIhI MIRROR
Seldom is there a l ineup at vending machines placed around the two highschools in Campbell River, Tim-berline Secondary and Carihi Secondary.
Of course, most stu-dents choose to go to the cafeteria for their lunches, but a lot of kids have studying to do and cant afford to wait in long lineups to get their food. Thats where vend-ing machines come in.
The prices are way too high, and I dont think that there are enough nutritional things. I only go there for the junk food anyways, Says Ais-linn Delorme.
If you walk through the halls during class time you may find the vend-ing machines being re-stocked, and by the end of the day theyre near empty again. Where do kids find all the time to buy food and drinks from them?
Lucy Rairie, a student at Timberline Second-ary, says, bags of chips with only a few in them run us $2 at my school, and theyre always out of water. Ive never seen that much healthy stuff in them.
Although they may be full of candy bars, bags of chips, and diet pops, kids are concerned about their health if they buy too much from the vending machines. Sometimes they want a more healthy option. This may encourage
them to pack a lunch to bring to school, but often kids dont have the time.
Honestly, I think the prices are fine for every-thing except water. But I dont think that there are enough options for kids wanting to eat healthier, says Julianna Yates.
Hy d r at i on i s an important part of con-centration and func-tion throughout a tiring school day, but in a pinch the money for water may not be worth it, pushing kids to buy a diet soda instead.
At Timberline, almost all of the food sold is more unhealthy and meant for snacks. I dont always buy from them because of how unhealthy it is, even though the prices are fair, Sayde Coffill states.
When it boils down to it, vending machines are really just for snacks.
Minium wage impacts Carihi students
Service jobs are often most affected by the B.C. minimum wage.
Is there a cure for the student cell phone
Vending machines: not the place to get a real meal
R a e c h e l T h y n e decides on what to buy at a vending machine in Carihi.
Students check their cell phones.
