Speed dating. To many that means a real date with someone and shifting to someone else when time expires. At Lakeside, it has a different meaning. While the time is still enforced, instead of dating people, the person present is dating books. But that was not known in Mrs. Schommer’s Language Arts 9 class until Mrs. Huska explained the rules. When asked how she got the idea she said, “I read about it in one of
my library magazines… it was the right time to do it. It sounded like fun, I hope it is fun!” Before coming to the library, most students were wondering what it was about. “I thought I was going on a real date,” said freshman Brady Jensen. Another freshman, Kyle Anderson said, “I thought it was going to be normal speed dating because it’s so close to Valentine’s Day.” Still another freshman, Jacob Meyer said, “I thought it was going to be some talking exercise.”

Ah, Valentine’s Day. The time of year where love is in the air, and boys give the girls flowers and chocolates. How romantic, how traditional, HOW BORING! Why not spice up this Valentine ’s Day with some better, crazier traditions? For example, why not switch it up and have the girl get the guy something? In Japan and South Korea, women buy men gifts on Valentine’s Day, and the men return the favor on March 14th, which the countries call “White Day.” If you must stick to the “guy gets the girl something” tradition, do what they do in Denmark and Norway, where men send their women funny poems or love notes called “Gaekkebrev.” The men sign the notes with a coded signature so the women have to guess who sent them the card. It may sound cheesy guys, but it is sweeter and more original than giving the girl some flowers and chocolates found on sale at Walmart. Then there all the singles out there. Traditionally it is known that anyone without a date on Valentine’s Day just sits around and mopes all day. But why, when there are exciting things you can do? Why not buy a 12-pack of Crush cans for yourself, or order a heartshaped pizza from Papa John’s to eat all by yourself? If you are still upset over being single, do what singles do in Japan, and mourn by eating a bunch of black noodles. If you do not think that is good enough, do what Saudi Arabia did, and ban the whole day altogether! You can even get your friends involved. Do not exchange gifts, do not wear red or pink, and do not even talk about the holiday. So if you are tired of same old Valentine’s Day traditions, try some these new twists to the holiday.

Hannah Varney volunteers to set the mood for the third annual Grand Event with some piano tunes. This year’s Grand Event theme was “Mission: Possible.” Every year Lakeside hosts this event to raise money for a number of things.
Many students volunteers every year to help make this event possible. Volunteers tasks include everything from serving, to cleaning, and even entertaining.
The feedback from freshmen was mostly positive. According to Chandler Zwieg, “It’s a good opportunity to find books you wouldn’t usually find.” Elizabeth Cichanofsky remarked, “It’s a good way to find a book… books that you like.” When asked what book he got, freshman Isaac Schultz said, “I got Oh, Yikes! by Joy Masoff… This one is about gross stuff in history… It’s interesting.” tweitbp7@llhs.org

This “high school” stage in life is more than likely a stage where one is finding that it is not so easy to deal with other people. Many students might look at the “stupid” things people are doing and find it hard to treat them kindly; and even may find his temper running short and hot when things do not go the way he thinks they should. Instead of succumbing to these desires to get angry and short with people, think of how God showed and still shows His love to everyone. He does not lose his temper when people stray from the path, and he loves everyone, even though no one deserves it. Students can show thanks to Him by emulating his unconditional love towards others, even when they do not deserve, God’s love is unconditional. Students can remember that in any circumstance God’s love remains even when everything else in the world fades.
Unique Brazilian cuisine staff reporter
Hannah Tracy
Different countries, as one may expect, have a wide variety of different cultures, traditions, and cuisine. Even within the same country, a difference of a few tens of miles can greatly impact what is on the menu from day to day. Perhaps the greatest example of this is Brazil, South America. As a very large country with many ethnic backgrounds, Brazil already has reason enough for a wide culinary palette, and the geography only adds to the diversity. Regions near the coast enjoy a year-round supply of seafood while the sparsely-forested southeastern region of the country is involved in commercialized farming and raising of animals. Also, one must not forget that a large portion of the northern half of Brazil is covered by the Amazon Rainforest.

Not only is the Amazon a source of fuel and resources, but also of a large variety of tropical fruit. With all of these foods to choose from, Brazilian cuisine includes a variety of flavors, some of which, like Churrasco, or barbeque, are very familiar to Americans, and others, like Acarajé, fried balls of black-eyed peas and shrimp, which a large number of people wouldn’t even consider eating. There are also large French and Portuguese influences in Brazilian food, which adds pizza to the local flavor, as well as Feijoada, a thick Portuguese stew made from beans and pork or beef. All of these foods come together to create a culinary culture that is both unique and widely varied in its forms and flavors, and not all of these foods are so exotic that they cannot be made in one’s own kitchen.
