Rock and roll high school

Tonight I covered a high school grad at Kitimat City High; it's a school designed to meet the needs of students who face challenges and difficulties in their home environment that would, most likely, prevent them from graduating high school.
Classes are small; this year's class had nine students compared to last year's where there was almost double the amount. In a society that makes it easy to step on board with the wealthy, the beautiful, the gifted, was it ever refreshing to see these kids - who have travelled a hard road, but are no less gifted, attractive or wealthy in many ways (it was evidenced by the number of proud parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, nieces, friends and faculty members) - rceive their high school diplomas.

So BC had a tsunami warning and several people living nearby were unaware of it has some questioning the warning system.... my boss told me there was a tsunami warning issued here a few years back. People were actually driving down to the beach to watch it. Which is better - being an unwitting potential victim or a witless informed citizen?
