Bowling teams open season with wins By Joseph Lax Warrior bowling teams opened their seasons Friday as they faced off against a strong Yankton/Vermillion combined team at Eastway Bowl, but it proved to be a good day. The boys teams both took away wins as the varsity defeated Yankton/Vermillion 31.518.5 with senior Cyler Melvin bowling a high game of 227 and high series of 586. Melvin said it was a good way to start the season. “We started great, but then made some mistakes but came away with the win,” Melvin said. “Now we know what to work on in practice.” The boys junior varsity team

came away with a more commanding 45-5 win. Freshman Tyler Masching earned both high game and high series for the JV team with a 215 game and a 558 series. The girls teams also had a good night as the varsity won 17-8. Top bowlers were sophomore Cassidy Van Noort with a high game of 188 and senior Adrianna Spaethe with a high series of 470. Spaethe said she has high hopes for the Warriors. “The season started off shaky, but we pulled through,” Spaethe said. “Hopefully, we can pull through from here.” The JV girls bowled unopposed.

Both coaches feel good about their teams going into the season. “It was a strong win for the girls,” girls coach Derek Schumacher said. “Throughout the game nerves got to them, but they came back strong.” Boys coach Troy Duffy was impressed with the freshmen and how well they handled themselves in their first high school match. “The boys started strong,” Duffy said. “But changes need to be made going into the transitions.” Next up for the Warriors will be cross-town rival Lincoln at 3:30 p.m. Friday at Suburban Bowl.

Thanksgiving time to think about blessings Now that the cold weather is here to stay, we know what that means—Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Many fun traditions and enjoyable family time come along with the three-day break next week. Who doesn’t love to get away from school for Hear me. . . a while? I know I do. Lots of families have the Grace Kolb tradition of turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner. My personal favorite Thanksgiving dish is the pumpkin pie with lots of whip cream on top, however. Family time is one thing that I really enjoy about Thanksgiving, because I get to spend time with family members that I only typically see this one time of year. My family and I head to a small town in Minnesota the

day after we get out of school for our break and stay with my mom’s parents. Then, the day of Thanksgiving we go to my great aunt’s house in another small town about 40 minutes away. We all hang out, play games and, of course, eat. Another big tradition many people have is Black Friday shopping. I personally have never gone shopping on this most popular of consumer holidays. If I wasn’t in a little town in Minnesota on Black Friday, however, you would definitely see me in those crazy crowds trying to find all the best deals on unnecessary things! Along with all the family traditions and relaxation time comes a time to think about everything you are thankful for. Any day is a good time to reflect on what you are thankful for, but Thanksgiving is a time you should especially take a break from all your festivities and consider what you’re thankful for. Don’t overlook being thankful this Thanksgiving. Senior Grace Kolb is thankful for teacher Doyle Becker!

Could bright clouds reflect heat? By Stuart Leavenworth McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS) WASHINGTON — Ever-higher temperatures are melting the ice sheets faster than projected. Sea level is rising. International efforts to reduce greenhouse gases are taking longer than expected. It’s a nightmare scenario that could soon demand an emergency response. What to do?

Your green world

One idea gaining traction is to seed marine clouds with salt water or other particles, increasing their potential to reflect solar rays, cooling the earth. It’s part of a nascent and controversial branch of science known as “sunlight reflection methods,” or SRM. “We think SRM could buy time for other (carbon-reduction) measures to be put in place,” said Philip J. Rasch, chief climate scientist for the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash. “If the worst-case scenarios of global warming come to pass, these technologies could be used to help people, saving lives and economies from the worst effects of climate change,” added Joseph Majkut, director of climate policy at the Niskanen Center, a Washington, D.C., think tank. Rasch and Majkut are two climate specialists who testified Wednesday before the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, which held a subcommittee hearing on the potential for “geoengineering”—a catchall for proposals to directly cool the atmosphere or pull carbon emissions from it. At Wednesday’s hearing, all the specialists testifying said geoengineering techniques shouldn’t be substituted for efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and prepare for climate change impacts.
