By Rheannan Bills erve and Learn Student Association (SALSA) service club members from around Sioux Falls were presented with the 2015 City of Sioux Falls Human Relations Commission Humanitarian Award Oct. 26 at the Orpheum Theatre downtown. This award is for service in promoting diversity in the community, and the welfare of others. Teacher Nina Nelson, the faculty adviser for WHS, said she was impressed. “They come to meetings, sign up to volunteer for hours of free labor—raking leaves for senior citizens, the Spooky Science Night at the Pavilion, gift wrapping at the mall and other things—all with kind and gentle spirits,” Nelson said. The student leaders at WHS are seniors Stephanie Neumeister, Leah Glovich and Haley Jahnke and juniors Daria Turgeon and Seth VandeBraak. Jennifer Abels is

trated with the team’s performance Tuesday. “We didn’t play like we usually do,” Wiseman said. “We should’ve played better. We need to work hard at practice and play our hardest against Lincoln to bounce back.” In the other half of the bracket, Brandon Valley beat Lincoln in three sets. This means Brandon Valley will play Harrisburg for the District 2AA title and a trip to state on Saturday. WHS will now take on Lincoln Saturday at 7 p.m. in the District 2AA third place match with the winner advancing to a Region 1 game for one last chance. Saturday’s loser in the game to be played at Lincoln will be done for the season.

Have a plan to ask your intended to formal If you haven’t noticed or been paying attention recently, the annual formal dance at WHS is coming up sooner than you think—Dec. 5 at WHS. Traditionally, this dance is where the guys ask the girls, which at least for me is very nerve Hear me. . . wracking. Guys, it is time to figure out who and how you are going to Caroline Point ask, so it is time to get inventive. You could ask a friend, your girlfriend or not worry about a specific date and go with a group of friends. Or, you could go out on a limb and ask someone you normally wouldn’t ask, like a currently secret crush. Instead of the typical poster and candy, try to be creative when asking your date to the dance. Try a new idea

like an inside joke between you and your intended date or a romantic gesture that they won’t be able to refuse. As a girl myself, a few things that would make me not want to go with someone would be them asking over a text or Snapchat, a Twitter direct message or even a phone call. Asking for a date through the use of any sort of technology that allows you to not be present is just too impersonal for my tastes. Asking in person and being prepared beforehand with a plan to make the invitation special is the best way to go. You need to have a plan of attack firmly in place and be intentional. Most of all, have fun with it and try not to worry too much about making a fool of yourself. If you follow these tips, the special someone you ask will be unlikely to decline your request. Some of my best high school memories have been from school dances. So don’t be timid—get out there and start asking, Warrior men! Senior Caroline Point is still on the market for a formal date.

Farmed salmon often mislabeled By Hal Bernton The Seattle Times (TNS) SEATTLE—An Oceana investigation of salmon marketed during the winter months in the Midwest and East Coast found 43 percent of this fish mislabeled. Most often, Atlantic farmed salmon was falsely marketed as wild salmon, and restaurants mislabeled this fish much more frequently than grocery stores and retail markets.
Your green world
The investigation was based on 82 samples collected in Chicago, New York, Washington and Virginia, and all were analyzed to determine their salmon species. An earlier, and broader, Oceana survey of 384 salmon collected during the peak of the 2012 summer salmon season found that only seven percent of the sampled fish was mislabeled. The more recent survey during the winter of 2013-14 came at a time when the summer harvests are long over, and fresh wild salmon is hard to find while fresh farmed salmon, which is harvested year-round, remains abundant. Oceana is a nonprofit advocacy group that focuses on oceans, fisheries and other marine issues and has campaigned against the environmental impacts of salmon farming.
