After two years of delivering the Capital News, one paper carrier鈥檚 efforts paid off.
With more than a little patience, Connor Gartner recently purchased a laptop with his savings.
Connor, 13, started delivering newspapers in Kettle Valley with the goal of buying a MacBook. Most of his earnings went to the laptop, he said.
Connor鈥檚 sister, a Grade 12 student, is also saving for a trip to Europe.
鈥淚f they want a big ticket item like a laptop or a trip like that, then they have to save up their own money and we鈥檒l contribute little bits here and there,鈥� said father Darren Gartner. 鈥淚t鈥檚 mostly up to them.鈥�
Connor delivers papers twice a week and it takes him between half an hour to an hour to complete his route.
