Forensics takes conference title

Students need to be careful of what they put on the internet, because it can come back and affect them in a big way. Hindus from India also have to watch about what they put on the internet, especially around Valentine’s Day. A Hindu extremist group called Hindu Mahasabha, is cracking down on Hindus who use the word “love” on or around Valentine’s Day. They are claiming that they will force marriage on anyone who uses the “L-word.” They will be on high alert, looking for people who show affection and forcing them to marry each other.

The group will have lookouts throughout social media, looking for anyone who uses the “L-word.” The extremists will be on patrol not only on the internet, but in public too. They will also have spies looking for anyone who exchanges flowers, gifts, or shows a public display of affection.

President Chandra Prakash Kaushik of the extremist group stated, “Display of love in the entire Valentine’s week is equivalent to not following Indian traditions. Anyone found displaying love on Facebook, Twitter or WhatsApp will be caught hold of.”

He also stated that he has eight social-media teams looking out for any affectionate behavior online.

Of course, the police do not accept this and are on the lookout for any extremists forcing couples to get married.

They stated that whoever forces couples to get married will be in big legal trouble.

Valentine’s is a day dedicated to the one someone cares about most. It is to be a day of joy and happiness, not of fear. That is why, legally, couples are able to show their affection and say the “L-word” without being forced to tie the knot.

Sydney Gronemeyer

Yet again, the Lakeside forensics team took the conference title.

Last Monday, the team competed at Luther Prep and came out on top by ten points.

Many Lakeside participants placed in the top three--ultimately leading towards winning the team championship. Every year, Prep is a close competitor to Lakeside, but for the past five years, Lakeside has come out on top. This year was one of the biggest gaps between first and second place.

Taking first place in conference was Maddie McKenna, Caleb Strutz, Josiah Eaker, Josh Shoenfeld, Malachi Mortensen, and Charlie Pingel.

Taking second place in conference was Sydney Gronemeyer, Emma Guld, Emily Raymond, David Wilson, and Lillie Johnstone.

In third place was Rachel Fischer, Leah Fields, Jennifer Schubkegel, Becca Doering, Tina Kehl, and Maria Werre.

Grudges and fogiveness “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

Colossians 3:13 staff reporter

Lisa Seavart

Being naturally sinful, it is hard to forgive someone after they have done something offensive or wrong.

People keep their emotions towards someone bottled up and sometimes their friendship doesn’t recover. It is not healthy to hold a grudge. It would make life easier to just let it go. Most of the time talking about the problem and letting emotions out can be a huge relief on a Christian’s life.

God wants his children to love each other unconditionally. That includes still loving them after everything they’ve done. God gives many examples of unlimited forgiveness in the Bible. Forgiveness is part of the love that people should strive for. From now on, forgive everyone for anything as the Lord forgave his children.

Valentine’s dance coming up

staff reporter

Katelyn Wolf

After years of a hiatus, Lakeside is reviving its celebration of the Winter Carnival by having the winter dance on Saturday, Feb. 14th, from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM. The theme is an anti-Valentine’s Day dance with the style of dress being

a casual blackout.

A blackout means casual clothing, like jeans and t-shirts, completely in the color black. The regular dress code and dancing rules still apply as with any dance.

The style of music for the dance is Throwback. This means the most

current music will not be played, and the music will consist of most hits from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and possibly later.

The Winter Dance is a great time for Lakeside students to get together have some fun in the cold wintertime.

Rants with Thanks for the (fake) memories Locker Klein&Beyer Scientists improve artificial memory implanting “I kind of want to see that new crime drama show, CSI: Saskatoon. It looks good right?” You may know a person like this. He is the same person who has watched every episode of 24, the Wire, and Castle, and lives his life by what they say. You probably, like any other rational human being, hate this person with every fiber of your being because he only talks about 24, the Wire, and Castle.

He does not realize that all of these shows are the exact same show, with all the same characters.

The first of these unoriginal character ideas is the bartender who remembers absolutely everyone who has ever been in his bar. As soon as a detective would show him a picture of the victim, he happens to remember the time they came in, who they were with, and when they left.

He always asks the same question too. “Are they alright?” Of course they are not “alright.” Two murder police are talking about them in the past tense. No wonder you failed med school… stupid bartender.

Then there is the neighbor that always runs away even though he has no idea about the crime. Yes, because running away from federal agents is not going to raise suspicions at all… stupid neighbor. And there is always those die hard workers that never stop doing their job even while they are being questioned by the police. “Quadruple rape and homicide? Well, sorry guys, these boxes need to be moved right now so I cannot really help.”

Finally there is always the “good cop” who plays by the book and never does a single thing out of protocol and the “bad cop” who threatens suspects, breaks protocol and, when he’s not on screen, is probably at AA meetings.

M

emory implantation has been a topic of discussion for a long time between scientists, and after a 2-year-long experiment with lab mice, overseen

by Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu, this science fiction-esque idea just may be possible.

After identifying the brain cells involved in the encoding of a single memory, Steve and Xu manipulated these cells to create new memories in the lab mice - ones based on events that had never actually taken place.

With over two dozen labs around the world continuing in this study, there are hopes that in the near future this methodology could be used to treat cases of depression, PTSD, and

Alzheimer’s Disease. Cells could be artificially activated so that events will be recalled more easily, thus lessening the effects on Alzheimer’s patients. Victims of PTSD could have portions of events erased and replaced with less-traumatic happenings, and those suffering with recurrent depression may be able to fight the blues with the occasional “good” memory as a pick-me-up.

As unbelievable and miraculous as this new discovery may seem to therapeutic, medicinal, and scientific industries, should Christians be concerned at this act of “playing God?” How far will this go in the future?

Will it take a terrible turn and be used as an unethical weapon of warfare?

Is this even possible to be executed

safely in humans without it being too invasive, or having negative effects?

While in the long run it may assist professionals in the area of mental rehabilitation, the discussion of future uses of memory implantation should be put on the back burner until it is established that this is a safe procedure. The last thing society needs is an incident where someone who undergoes a mind-altering treatment is damaged for life.

Not to mention that, if taken too far, such a powerful thing as the memory could be turned into a weapon, a mental torture for soldiers and prisoners of war. New discoveries like this one can have mixed results.

As the saying goes, “Knowledge is power, and power corrupts.”

hose who have friends with an Asian background may have heard racist jokes about Asians being smart. But are Asians really that smart? Or is it the Asian educational systems that create smarter people? Japan, which has one of the world’s best educational system, has many differences in the schooling system compared to the United States.

The biggest difference is probably the level of competition. and not only for attending colleges. All students are required to test into high school as well. There are many ways to test into a certain school.

However, the typical way of testing into a school is to take a test that

was created by that school. It is not like the ACT test or SAT test where students can retake the test if they are not satisfied with their scores.

It is rather a one-time test to measure a student’s intelligence. Some

Despite the differences in school systems, all students are responsible for their own success.

may say that a student’s intelligence cannot be measured by a single test.

However, that competitiveness and the nervousness toward those one-time tests that may determine one’s future, can be part of the reason students in Japan study hard, and therefore, considered as one of the best educational systems in the world. There are consequences and problems that this system creates, such as depression, bullying, and gap-widening society.

Although there are problems in this educational system, people understand that there are no perfect system. It is most beneficial for each country to determine what is the best way to educate students based on the cultural and economic situation.

Winter Petry Last week Thursday the Warrior boys basketball team traveled to Poynette to take on the Pumas.

Throughout the game, the team struggled to score points. By the end of the first half, the Warriors were losing 12-43.

The game ended in a loss with a score of 41-72. On Tuesday, the boys basketball teams played the Columbus cardinals and celebrated Parent’s Night.

The varsity squad was a little short-handed without the team’s leading scorer junior Mason DeNoyer, who averages 19 points per game.

Many other players stepped up,

Dalton Egli is a senior football player and wrestler. Egli describes some of his greatest accomplishments as winning regionals in wrestling his junior year, as well as getting second place in conference his junior and senior year.

Dalton describes one of his favorite memories as beating Lake Mills this past football season on Senior Night.

He admires fellow senior football player and wrestler Dan Borth and his muscular calves.

Dalton hopes to continue playing sports in the future. He hopes to one day be able to coach and watch his future children play sports.

Last Saturday, the Lady Warriors traveled to Jefferson to take on the Eagles in a non-conference matchup.

With a fast paced start, and two points by Abby Monis the Lady warriors continued their intensity.

The team may have played with intensity in the first half, but Jefferson stuck with them.

At halftime the score was 33-

26, with the Lady Warriors barely ahead. The first half was close in score, but after that the Warriors broke away from the Eagles, and they didn’t stop.

The fast offense, and tight defense is what separates the Warriors from their opponents. Not only how they play the game but also their ability to work with each other, no matter who is on the court. This helped them take the lead from the Eagles.

Junior starter Abby Monis was the high scorer with a personal high of 27 points, Moriah Hackbarth added 10 points and Meghan Pingel with eight. The final score was 65-38, the Lady Warriors continued their undefeated streak, now 19-0.This was Jefferson’s Hoops for Hope day. The night consisted of the Junior Varsity game at 5:40 and Varsity at 7pm. This event was held to raise money for Tomorrow’s Hope, a foundation for cancer patients and their families.

Warrior wrestlers as he took second in his weight class. Egli went 3-0 in his matches, winning all by pin fall, before losing to Division 2’s No. 2-ranked wrestler, Logan Maurer of Brodhead/Juda. The next highest finishers for the Warriors were senior Dan Borth and sophomore Brett Cichanofsky, who both took fourth in their weight classes.

Number one on the Wooden Award watch list is Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky. The Wisconsin Badgers have a wealth of offensive talent. But the man in the middle, with his mix of outside-in trail shooting, post work, rebounding, passing, and interior defense,is the one who makes it all go.

Number two on the list is Duke’s Jahlil Okafor. Okafor’s post game is polished well beyond his years.

Okafor allows Duke to keep its offense simple. He gets easy looks without needing specialized sets run for him, he can just run to the block, put his man on his back and present a lethal first scoring option.

Number three on the list is Utah’s Delon Wright. Other than its all-inclusive nature, the most fascinating thing about Wright’s game is how he gets his points. Wright almost never shoots 3’s, which would seem to be a liability for a point guard. But Wright is one of the nation’s most efficient offensive players because he gets to the rim.

Number four on the list is Notre Dame’s Jerian Grant. There is not a play Grant isn’t absolutely positive he can make. As he showed Tuesday, he is usually right.

Number five on the list is Kentucky’s Willie Cauley- Stein. Last week, the Kentucky defense, and its place in history, was the subject of a Sports Illustrated feature. Cauley-Stein has gained the reputation as a player who can guard any position, anytime

What loves: the heart or the mind? staff reporter

Emelyn Schoeller

In the month of February it would not take long to see hearts everywhere around, in the hallways of school, in all of the stores, and on the packages of food. Everyone has heard the phrase “I love you with all of my heart” and “Love from the heart” at least once in their lifetime. But is that necessarily true? The heart is just a muscle

that pumps blood through the body, it is incapable of feeling emotions like love. The brain is what feels attachments to things and people that we are fond of in other words what loves. The brain is what can remember the best things about a person which can be a big part of loving a person. Then why do people always associate love with the heart?

Love could be associated with

the heart because the heart is one of the most important muscles that keep humans alive, and it could also be because the heart is also the center in our bodies.

Loving with the heart is mainly a metaphor that people have come up with to explain where love comes from, because which would you prefer to hear “I love you with all of my heart.” or “I love you with all of my brain.”?

The age old question: What is love?

staff reporter

Mary Schallert

Love is a feeling all humans who live will experience at least once in their lifetime. Love can be as simple as liking some group or band or as complex as willing to die for the sake of someone or something else.

Most people around the world have dedicated one day of the year to the feeling called love

and they call it Valentine’s Day. They show their love to another person by giving them presents of chocolate or jewelry or other things that they think the other person will like or enjoy.

Love is also a very special feeling that is not very easy to describe unless a person has experienced it themselves.

It can make a person selfless

and self sacrificing at the same time.

Love is one of the most beautiful things out there and it can heal the troubles of the heart and mind if the heart or mind is wounded mentally.

It is a wonderful thing that can cover hatred if it is accepted by people whose hearts were wounded in any way.
