Closed: Countless small businesses had to lock their doors during the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 has struck restaurants the worse. ¨Work has been definitely complicated, we are either dead silent and have nothing going on or we get a big rush and have a lot of people who want to come in, but we don't have enough employees to have that many in the restaurant," senior Aliyah Kavran-Peterson said. Many local businesses were forced to shut down permanently due to the loss of revenue during the last year.

The waiting game is the toughest part of the competition, senior Sophia Rippo said that she "had a lot of difficulty trying to kill my target because she doesn’t work or anything, so I would wait outside her house for hours, but she would never leave."

Wearing a face mask out in public is just one step towards saving lives, but  a very important one. My mom made fabric face masks for me and my friends that I am living with and we wear them out whenever we need something from the store. As soon as we get home, we sanitize, throw the masks in the wash, and then sanitize again. I hope that by wearing our masks we are making a difference in moving towards the end of quarantine.

Give a Grinch a Break! The Grinch smiles up hopefully from a novelty dinner plate, imploring all those who see him to reconsider the anti-Grinch sentiment which runs rampant in this day and age. The term “Grinch” was first introduced by the legendary Dr. Seuss in 1955 and since then had been used liberally to refer to anyone who is less than jolly during the holiday season. “I think it was two years ago I was called “the Grinch” because I refused to get up early for [Christmas],” junior Journey Scott said.
