Waving proudly MilES lAYToN Slaff writer RACINE Science at Southern High School is more than equations and · chemical formulas . It's an ·experience that teaches stu_dents lessons for a lifetime. . Critical thinking is emphasized in the classes," said science teacher Ann Sisson. "If you cannot think about a subject critically, then you cannot do a job the best way you can do 11." . One · of the ways the school district is fosterin~ critical thinking is through a biotechnology program. · The program, only two years old, has a spec1alized oil immersion microscope that can magnify objects up to I ,000 times. The ima~es appear on a television screen in front of the class. Sisson said it makes learning a lot easier than it was when she first started teaching more than 15 yearl ago. For decades, bia1ogy teachers had to walk around to the different microscopes in the classroom and view the slides that their students . . were .v1ewmg. MQTe often than not, a student might be looking at something that was not quite the right thing, such as a stray hair. Sometimes the eyes would play tricks on J'eople as refracted light an old slides made amoebae come back from the dead ., ·Sisson said the new biotechnology ,setup, wired and built by fellow SHS teacher Kim Romine, allows everyone to look at proper specimens at · the same time. The biotechnology lab offers much more. Through the use of a computer and mathematics, a student can plot a graph between two . points. One group of students hypothesized over whether fruit or potatoes would have more energy. The students Initially thought that the fruit would have more ener. gy because of the high amount of acidity involved. After all, batteries are commonly labeled witli acidic values. No one ever thinks of a potato as having the energy to light a lamp. "I figured the acid would make a difference," said Deana Pullins, a junior. Using math, graphs, the high powered microscope and a Tot of brain power, students conjured their way through the scientific method and came to. a con' Ashton Brown, a sophomore at Southern High School in Ann Sisson's biology class, ·looks at frog's blood through the lens of a microscope that magnifies specimens 1,000 times the original size. (J. Miles Layton) elusion: Potatoes have slightly more energy. . Repeated experiments proved the conclusion time and time a?ain. "I didn t find science interesting until I took this class," said Stephanie Bradford, a junior. "I look at science in a different way now." Another experiment the class has tested involves death. Through the combined-use of math and science, students are able to tell without the use of, a live cadaver how long a body ha.s been lifeJe~s. Times andJtmperatures play a role m determining the .time of death, which can be central to some murder trials. Carla Shuler, a teacher who helps with the math portion of the biotechnology lab, said the students have a mental adjustment to make as they take more and more science and math classes. Many students are taught early about the value of rote memorization. Their academic careers consist of exercises in who can remember the most facts for objective tests . SCience and math are power in th\lt these subjects teach students to think analytically and critically. Pullins has taken multiple math and sciences classes at SHS. "I like science and math," said Pullins, who is thinking about a career in medi• · cine. "You learn the same things in English every year, but you learn more advanced problems in these classes," she added.

News & Sentinei:The inevitable has llappened: The long-expected war with Iraq began. Despite hoping against hope for some last-minute peaceful 'solution, in the .end Saddam Hussein gave America no choice but the path taken :by President George W Bush. . ·. · Let 11s make no mistake: despite what some claim America did. :not want this war. It was forced upon us by a despotic- madman ·whose lust for power knows no bounds. : For the past 12 years, Saddam Hussein has been under the Order of two United Nations' Security Council resolutions ta get 'Jjd of his weapons of mass destruction. And for the majority of :those 12 years, this thug has thumbed his nose at this world body. ·, Those weapons include an admitted accumulation of chemical and biological agents and a frantic attempt to obtain the materials needed to create a nuclear weapon. The president has decided this Shell game has gone on long enough. :: Much - too much, in our opinion - has been made of America's pre-emptive strike against Iraq as somehow n~t befit:ting the ideals of our country. These critics, apparently, iiid not ·understand the full ramifications of how the world changed on :sept. 11, 200 1. · If a small band of terrorists could inflict the amount of death ·and destruction in the unconventional manner they chose on that day within our borders, what could such a band do with a nuclear · or biological weapops? The president addressed this in his ultimatum to Saddam when he said, ~' In this century, when evil men plot chemical, biological and nuclear terror, a policy of appeasement could bring destruction of a kind never before seen on this earth. Responding to such enemies only after they have StruCk first is not self-defense, it is suicide." . The United Nations could have stepped in and possibly helped avoid this confrontation, but chose to avoid the issue. • .France's threatened veto of any new resolution that called for military action gave Saddam more room to maneuver and doomed any chance for a peaceful settlement. Whatever reasons France, Germany, Russia and China had for being such .staunch opponents of military action - and we suspect those reasons include many economic ones, their intninsigence has created a divided world. . Compare their action -or, more accurately. inaction. to that of Britain Prime Minister Tony Blair. Blair, a liberal whose policies would be closer to Bill Clinton than those of George Bush, ])as stood shoulder to shoulder with the president- and has paid ~ high political price for this. ,. . Why, we wonder, would Blair endanger his political career to do this? Because he believes it would be suicide to ignore the threat Saddam poses to the world. · · America bas never rushed into something as serious as war until all other options" have been exhausted. There can be no doubt the president has attempted other avenues to avoid this Conflict The worl~ ,_ and the domestic population opposed to this action - should realize the president is trying to protect Americans, something the United Nations seems to have little interest in doing. The president has decided pre-emptive action is better than suicide. This is a stressful and uncertain time for Americans, especially for those families who have loved ones serving in the military. Our prayers go out to all of our servicemen and their families, and the servicemen from other countries who have joined this "ct>alition of the willing." . . Our prayers al59 go out to the innocent Iraqi civilians who have lived under the terror of Saddam Hussein for far too many years and now are forced to live under the terror of a war. We pray this war is a quick one, with Saddam, his sons and all of his followers removed from power.

Bush, a left-handed first baseman at Yale, stood on the grass in front of the mound and threw a strike to Reds shortstop Barry Larkin , crouched behind the plate. Bush waved his arms in delight at the on-target throw as the crowd roared. ~ush then walked to a microphone behind home plate and told the crowd that it was an honor "to be off the bench substituting for another guy you know, the president of .the United States of America."

"(I;Ioone) said, 'He needs a catcher. Go get him."' Bush patted Larkin after the throw. , · , "He said, 'Are you all right? Did I hurt you?"' Larkin said. As vice president, Bush threw a ceremonial pitch before the All-Star game at Stadium in Riverfront Cincinnati in 1988.

DEAR ABBY: I just read the letter from ';Undecided in St. Paul," regarding her son's wedding and asking what to do about inviting relatives who reside in a nursing home. You advised that instead of sending them invit~tions, send a chatty letter or ~ard bringing them up-to-date on the happy news - and an announcement after the wed· ding- so they remain "in the loop." As an RN -with years of employment · in a nursing home setting, I know from experience that residents become very excited about being included in family affairs instead of being told after the fact. My suggestion would be to send them an mv1lat10n, arrange for transponauon, and en~lose a small note .tiJat states, m a tasteful manner, "No gifts, pl~ase."
