BETHALTO – Hannah Meiser, a junior guard for the CM girl’s basketball team, made it count on the minutes she was in during the Eagles' Sectional Semifinals win over Mount Vernon. Meiser, an extraordinary overall athlete, has been a player CM could count on throughout the girls' 2021-2022 season. Meiser is one of the Tom Lane State Farm Insurance Female Athletes of the Month for CM's spectacular girls' basketball team. Meiser went in for a quick substitution in the first quarter and scored five quick points. The first thing she did was grab an impressive offensive rebound and banked in back in off the glass. One of the next plays she pulled up and drained a three-pointer. She was clearly fired up after the play. “It’s just tight situation games like this, I want to go in there and give the spark that my team needs, and I’m really happy that we pulled out the win,” Meiser said after the game. Head coach Mike Arbuthnot claimed that his girls weren’t

BETHALTO – The Civic Memorial girls basketball team was crowned Sectional Champions Friday night when they beat the Mattoon Green Wave 74-68. It’s the third time in program history the Eagles have achieved this feat. However, it’s the first time for senior forward Emily Williams. She made the start for what could have been her final high school basketball game. She didn’t play a lot of minutes and was kept off the scoresheet. While not in the game, Williams is usually standing or pacing around the bench in stress. “I haven’t really played much the last three years, so I’m getting to be on the court and actually part of the whole adrenaline, and it’s just crazy.” Back on Feb. 18, the Eagles played East St. Louis in another game that was decided in overtime. I remember sitting behind the bench and her saying, “I can’t sit down, it’s too stressful.” She seemed so stressed out almost to the point of tears.

GREENVILLE – The Marquette Explorers recently traveled to Greenville High School for the Class 2A Regional Championship. No. 20, a junior center, Brody Hendricks, and the Explorers brought home their 12th Regional Championship after taking down the Greenville Comets 55-24. When asked how it felt to be a champion, Hendricks responded, “It feels great. It's the first time I have won a Regional Championship and it feels great to be a part of this team.” Part of being on a winning team is having all the players buy-in for one goal and the Explorers are a winning team. Hendricks said the Explorers work to become a better basketball team every day. “We are building everything across our team, working on getting better every single day, and it all led to this moment," he said. “We practice hard enough to earn this, so we’ll come back next year to do the same thing.” Basketball is a team sport and the Explorers had three players with point totals i

The Conversation — Governments have delayed action on climate change for too long, and incremental changes in energy and food production will no longer be enough to create a climate-resilient future, a new analysis from scientists around the world warns. The world is already seeing harmful impacts from climate change, including extreme storms, heat waves and other changes that have pushed some natural and human systems to the limits of their ability to adapt. As temperatures continue to rise, transformational change is coming to how people live on Earth. Countries can either plan their transformations, or they can face the destructive, often chaotic transformations that will be imposed by the changing climate. I’m one of the authors of the climate impacts and adaptation report, released Feb. 28, 2022, as part of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report . The increasing alarm in these reports, which review the
