2 Clackamas Print Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2009 What’s a daily apple really worth Nick Kornafel Feature Editor An apple a day keeps the doctor away, maybe. In foe dead of winter, health can be much more difficult to maintain, especially when you don’t eat right But, is there an actual connection between diet and health? Is foe stu dent who eats Suits and vegetables everyday really better off than foe one who lives on Cheetos and Red Bull? According to MedicineNet.com, although there is no direct evidence that good nutrition prevents illness, it is one of foe key components in maintaining a healthy immune sys tem. And, according to MedlinePlus. com, there are 13 vitamins your body needs , so it can develop normally. They are vitamins A, C, D, E, K and foe B vitamins which are thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and folate. But, what kind of diets do stu dents at Clackamas have? Surely, being college students, they know all about nutrition and make sure they eat healthy every day right? Not always foe case. Students were willing to tell what they eat on a day-to-day basis. Trevor Chess said he eats fest food up to three times a week, but he also eats plenty of Suit. He has not been sick this winter. Victor Garrison, another student, said he too has not been sick recently. He drinks soda almost every day, and eats, as he stated it, “Whatever I can get” Ashleigh Floyd, a student, on foe other hand, said she and her fiance both have had foe flu this winter. While her fiance’s diet is unknown, she primarily eats fast food and fro zen dinners, which could have con tributed to her susceptibility to ill nesses. But, on a side note, she stated that she hasn’t been getting'a good night’s rest either. Student Ryann Carmack said she eats Hot Pockets and drinks three Sprites a day. She has not been sick this winter. Another student, Zac Lenon, although in excellent shape from his martial arts training, is currently sick due to a stressful schedule, and a diet that consists of Top Ramen. But, in foe life of a college student, it can be hard to get good meals when youhave atight schedule. Fortunately, the college has Chartwells right on campus, where students can get a wide variety of foods conveniently, when they are in hurry. But, is Chartwells food providing students with healthy options? Chartwells has a wide variety of options to choose from including burgers, sandwiches, salads, pizza and snack foods. There are many healthy choices such as veggie burg ers, yogurt, milk or juice and even fruit, but it is not uncommon to see a student go through the checkout with three slices of pizza stacked on his plate. It would seem that it takes more than an apple a day to keep the cold and flu season at bay. Although nutrition is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, there is more to it School related stress and lack of sleep drain people of their energy and weaken their immune systems. So remember, in addition to eat ing your greens, make sure you get plenty of rest as well. Complete your homework during foe day so you don’t get stuck pulling an all-nighter again.

Arts & Culture Editor -year-old Kaye Fierch was turned upside down the night she stumbled upon Roiben, a knight of an evil and dangerous faerie court, in a dark New Jersey wood. In author Holly Black’s j ‘Tithe,” readers were drawn, j with Kaye and her friend I Cornelius, into the mysteri ous and often violent world of the faerie that lurks just out of the comer of mortal eyes. In “Tithe,” Kaye and Corny were forced to outwit a dev ilishly charming kelpie, dodge the dangerous eye of Nicnevin, queen of the evil Unseelie Court, and ultimately come to terms with the scars their love for the faerie world left them with. Now their struggle is renewed in “Ironside.” It’s time for Roiben’s coronation as the new King of the Unseelie Court, and all is not well in the kingdom under the graveyard. Many of his new subjects disapprove of Kaye’s love for him, and even more are jealous of the love he returns to her. So, when a vindictive fey tricks a drunken Kaye into declaring herself to the new king, tradition forces Roiben to give Kaye a task to prove her worthiness to be his consort. She must go and find a faerie that can lie. Meanwhile, Corny’s physical wounds have healed but the emotional scars left behind by Roiben’s rival knight Nephamael, are still raw. He feels trapped and becomes obsessed with protecting himself from the faerie world, even going so far as to trap and torture stray faeries. Kaye, now banished to IitonsideE’ the human ’ world, until she completes her quest and distraught at the impossibility of her task, opens up to her mother and reveals the terrible secret she herself has only just learned - she is really a pixie who was left in the place of her Smother’s real daughter. But, the shock is too much, and Kaye is driven away from even this small comfort. Matters continue to worsen when Corny picks a fight with Adair, a powerful knight from the ’ viciously self-righteous Seelie Court, and gets a nasty curse put on him. Through the knight, Kaye and Corny learn that war is brew ing between the faerie courts, and the Seelie Queen, Silarial, is desperate to get her hands on Kaye, hop ing she will prove to be the fatal instrument against Roiben. To make matters worse, the Seelie Queen’s court is the place where Kaye’s human counterpart, the real Kaye Fierch, is still held by the faeries that stole her. Joining them in their quest to rescue the human Kaye are Luis, a boy with a natural gift for seeing through the magic of faer ies, and his brother Dave, who is permanently damaged by his addiction to a faerie drug. Both are as bitter and badly scarred by dealings with the faerie world as Kaye and Corny. The four must dodge Silarial’s minions, rogue faeries and the love brewing between each other, to stay alive long enough to prevent war from spilling over into the human realm. 1Ô1 Photo illustration by Kayla Berge & Jess Sheppard Clackamas Print 3 Clackamas Print The Clackamas Print 19600 S.
