Small building but booming business, Italian cuisi

Small building but booming business, Italian cuisine Nona Marie’s on the corner of 17/92 and Highbanks in the Winn-Dixie plaza gives a serene experience. With soft glowing light and flickering candles, it easily feels like a romantic restaurant in Italy. Known best for their pizza as well as their specialty dish, Pasta alla Stella, this place is no joke. Pasta alla Stella is pasta that is not found in this area with chicken breast, peas, mushrooms, and onions, and yet it wasn’t my most favorite meal. Peas are not something I like, but the sweetness they added to the sauce and character built into the dish was beautiful. My main critique was that there are far too many peas. I also ordered a single slice of pizza which cost $2.25, making it a wonderful stop during lunchtime while on a budget. I added Italian sausage, pepperoni and basil to my slice of cheese, and it was divine. The flavor combination of sauce and toppings mixed together. I was hesitant about basil, but it is not overpowering and adds the freshness that I felt it needed. The crust is thin and delicate, and the ratio of cheese to tomato sauce was perfect. The staff was accommodating. They were ready to answer every question and recommended things, as this was my first time going. But with the exquisite garlic knots added and a bowl of soup (or salad) to every meal, it gives the entire experience of a high-end restaurant. It was a wonderful experience with COVID-19 precautions taken such as masks, spaced seating and different doors for takeout versus dine-in. Even with masks on, you could feel the warm hearts and smiles from the staff within every interaction.

Online classes tend to be very difficult since it

Online classes tend to be very difficult since it is a different standard of learning. If you struggle with this, you’re not alone. Here’s some stories from Live students who encountered these lessons:
1. Kyle Dennis, senior: “There will be times when I’m feeling really lazy or tired and I don’t want to get up in between classes or during lunch,” Dennis said. “I just sit on the couch for 7 hours and this makes me feel more lazy or tired and I get no work done because of it.
3. Emma Matthews, junior: “Scheduling ahead to do work took me a long while to figure out,” Matthews said. “I struggle with procrastination a lot and being home makes it worse i really agree with scheduling ahead to do work, but tracking due dates and staying on top of work really helps with that problem.”
4. Johnnie Jefferson, senior: “For a week or so I wasn’t [taking breaks] at all and it was really draining my mental health because all I would do is wake up do schoolwork lay down in bed for an hour and then repeat,” Jefferson said. “I wasn’t even eating much much less leaving my house. Now I give myself time to go and get some fresh air and it helps me feel less like a drone doing the same repetitive thing over and over again.”

Cool artwork from cool students? I think, yes! Did

Cool artwork from cool students? I think, yes! Did you dabble into your creative side during quarantine? Junior Samantha Lombardo did as well. “My sister (Hannah] and I were doing paintings inspired by each other and we’re complete opposites,” she said. “She’s more adventurous and is really into nature, so the flowers play that role. I’m not good at painting faces so I just drew her hair which gave an added affect of her looking towards something and wanting to explore it.”

Whetstone plans on running this year as normal as

Whetstone plans on running this year as normal as possible, prioritizing team bonding and promoting the message of “Titan strong!” The school and coaches are taking precautions to keep students safe such as sanitizing the equipment, giving temperature checks, and requiring that all team members wear a mask unless they are playing. As of now there is no plan to continue volleyball in the unlikely event that we get shut down, Whetstone says she will be with her students every step of the way.

Broken ankle and all, sophomore class president, Tracy Caldwell elaborates on her injury and how it affected her. “I broke my ankle at Altitude Trampoline park with my family and I knew it was broken from the moment it happened, but everyone else waved me off and said I’m fine,” Caldwell said. “[Because of this] I actually wanted to play JV again since I missed a lot of practice last year. [But] they needed a middle position and [as one of the tallest girls on the team] I made it to varsity.”
