First-graders at Immaculate Conception/Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Everett finished a successful baby bottle project. Each student filled a baby bottle with money earned by doing extra chores.

They made a list, shopped at a baby store and got wonderful items for Crisis Nursery at Catholic Family Services with their $303.

Keep the lid off at the center

Fans attending a show or game at the Everett Events Center who buy a bottle of water will have to watch themselves for spills.

All caps from water bottles are removed at concession stands. Global Spectrum’s general manager, Kim Bedier, said the caps are removed from the plastic bottles to reduce the possibility it could be thrown and injure someone.

“Apparently, the bottle would not get as far with the lid off as it could with a lid on,” Bedier said. “Some facilities go one step further and do not allow bottles at all.”
