ences. Conferences are on Monday Oct. 16 and Monday Oct. 23. Please encourage your parents to attend conferences, especially you freshmen, so your parents can see if you’re on the nice or naughty list to begin the year. You might even want to accompany your parents, so you can hear what your teachers are expecting of you and help your parents understand where your teacher is coming from. But remember, midterm grades, good or bad, are not the final word—you still have time to fix up your grades if they are not where you want them to be. Your final quarter grade is what truly matters, because the two quarter grades, along with your semester test grade, are averaged together to make your final semester grade. That semester grade is what goes on your final transcript and goes towards your GPA, which is your grade point average. All in all, try your best Warriors. Good luck at midterm and all year long. Senior Logan Uttecht is most worried for his government semester test.

Bears plague western communities By Sophie Quinton Stateline.org (TNS) BOULDER, Colo. —Conflicts between humans and bears are increasing here and across the Western U.S. as more people move to and vacation in bear country. Climate change could make the situation worse by disrupting bear habitat.

Your green world

In towns from Arizona to Washington, hungry bears regularly wander off public lands and onto school playgrounds, break into cars and climb through open kitchen windows. Occasionally, they attack. In the Boulder area this summer, a bear clenched its jaws around the head of a teenage summer camp staffer as the boy slept outside. He fought off the bear and survived. State wildlife managers say they spend most of their summer and fall responding to people’s frantic calls about bears. Officials say the best way to address the problem is to make sure people store curbside trash in containers bear paws can’t open. “People still have not learned to do the right thing in bear habitat,” said Carl Lackey, a biologist for the Nevada Wildlife Department. City and county leaders are increasingly taking action and approving ordinances that require residents to use bear-resistant trash cans. Colorado Springs is considering such an ordinance. Durango, Colorado, which grappled with a large influx of bears this summer, adopted an emergency ordinance last week that increases the fines homeowners pay if they fail to lock up their trash. But even in places with a strong ordinance, such as Boulder, not all citizens obey the law.
