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.

Evil faeries from New Jersey strike again in sequel\
less shennard
! 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.
