Lyons’ first team in 1938
included the starting lineup
of ends Marion Jordan
and Cail Brant, tackles
Bob Pinckney (or Grady
Dixon) and Harold Jordan,
guards Carroll Reddick
and CB Gay, center Lucius
“Punch” Waters, halfback
William Bell and Donald
Lariscy (or Edward Mock),
fullback James Page
(captain), and quarterback
Uly Powell. Other players
included Gene Williams,
future Hall of Famer
Cyril Slappey, Herbert
Johnson, Rabun Lee,
Carey Robbins, Albert
Jeffers, Charles Bragg,
Edwin Howard, Coolidge
Crumbley, and Brinson
Bragg.
In their first game in
their South Carolina
uniforms the newly-named
Gamecocks defeated
Louisville 20-0 and went
on to record a 6-3 record.
The six wins included
a 19-0 win over the
Savannah High School “B”
team. The Georgia High
School Football Historians
Associations records this
for the First District
title. They also lost to
Allendale SC. The
season featured a trip to
Columbia to see the South
Carolina Gamecocks play
Duquesne on November 5.

Claxton 14-12
The November 25,
1938 Sylvania Telephone
had an interesting quip,
“While they didn’t lose
many - they lost what
they needed most. We can
take it easy now - and let
the schedule ride. Since
all the teams we ought to
have beat have taken us
for a ride.” The dig was
no doubt a reference to
the 13-7 loss to a Millen
team that won but two
games and the 27-7 loss
to Statesboro in the title
matchup for the Northern
half of the First District.
After the season-ending
loss to Statesboro the local
coming together at just the
right time for a program
to be successful. With
a new ambitious coach
and his recruits came a
new football field with
lights behind the old
Sylvania High School.
Dedicated on September
22, 1939, the source of
revenue for these new
lights demonstrated that
another aspect of Sylvania
was looking to improve
athletics at SHS - the
mayor’s office. Mayor
Willard Lariscy, Sr. led
the way to impose a 5
cents per bottle tax on
beer to raise the money.
The newly lighted field
had once been described
by Ed Overstreet as “more
cinders than grass...
everyone had bloody
knees when we played.
When they plowed the
field to prepare it (with
mules he said) they
uncovered an old cinder
pile.” Due to its close
proximity to the railroad
depot and yard that is
actually not surprising.
The Arctic is heating up nearly four times faster than the Earth as a whole,
according to new research. The findings are a reminder that the people, plants and
animals in polar regions are experiencing rapid, and disastrous, climate change.
Scientists previously estimated that the Arctic is heating up about twice as fast as
the globe overall. The new study finds that is a significant underestimate of recent
warming. In the last 43 years, the region has warmed 3.8 times faster than the
planet, the authors find.
The study focuses on the period between 1979, when reliable satellite
measurements of global temperatures began, and 2021.
"The Arctic is more sensitive to global warming than previously thought," says
Mika Rantanen of the Finnish Meteorological Institute, who is one of the authors
of the study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
There have been hints in recent years that the Arctic is heating up even more
quickly than computer models predicted. Heat waves in the far North have driven
wildfires and jaw-dropping ice melt in the circumpolar region that includes
Alaska, Arctic Canada, Greenland, Scandinavia, and Siberia.
"This will probably be a bit of a surprise, but also kind of extra motivation
perhaps," says Richard Davy, a climate scientist at Nansen Environmental
and Remote Sensing Center in Norway, who was not involved in the new
study. "Things are moving faster than we could have expected from the model
projections."
There are many reasons why the Arctic is heating up more quickly than other
parts of the Earth. Changes in the amount of air pollution coming from Europe
and natural multi-decade climate variations likely play a role. But human-caused
global warming is the underlying reason that the Arctic, and the planet, are
heating up.
Loss of sea ice is one of the clearest drivers of Arctic warming. The Arctic Circle
is mostly ocean, which used to be frozen for most or all the year. But permanent
sea ice is steadily shrinking, and seasonal ice is melting earlier in the year and re
forming later.
That means more open water. But while ice is bright and reflects heat from the
sun, water is darker and absorbs it. That heat helps melt more ice, which means
more water to trap more heat - the loop feeds on itself, accelerating warming in
the Arctic.
"That's why the temperature trends are the highest [in] those areas where the sea
ice has declined most," explains Rantanen. There are hotspots in the Bering Sea
over Northern Europe and Siberia, which are heating up about seven times faster
than the global average, the study estimates.
Rapid Arctic warming affects people living far from the Arctic circle. For example,
there is evidence that weather patterns are shifting across the U.S. and Europe as
sea ice melts, and many marine species migrate between the tropics and the Arctic
each year. "What happens in the Arctic doesn't just stay in the Arctic," says Davy.
The new research also finds that the advanced computer models that scientists
use to understand how the global climate is changing now, and will change in the
future, struggle to capture the relative speed of Arctic warming. That suggests
that future models may need to be adjusted to better capture the realities of global
warming in polar regions, although this study did not tease apart what exactly is
missing from current models.
"The paper's finding that climate models tend to underestimate the warming
ratio [between the Arctic and the Earth as a whole] is really interesting," says Kyle
Armour, a climate scientist at the University of Washington who was not involved
in the new study.
Previous studies have found that computer models do a good job estimating how
much the Arctic has heated up, but that they tend to overestimate how much
hotter the whole planet is, Armour explains. That means the models' comparison
between Arctic warming and overall warming ends up being incorrect.
"We have more work to do to figure out the source of this model bias," says
Armour. And that work is increasingly important, because world leaders use
climate models to understand what the future holds and how to avoid even more
catastrophic warming.

HOUSE Screven County was created, it was logical that the county
continued from page 1 seat be placed near the center of population.
When Lorenzo Dow, an itinerant Methodist preacher
arrived there, he became friends with Seaborn Goodall, who allowed him to stay
in this house while he was in town preaching. While in town preaching, the devil
started stirring in the town’s people who started making trouble for Dow and
eventually he left town.
He retreated to the bridge over the Beaver Dam Creek, turned, and faced
his tormentors, effecting a return of his dignity and ecclesiastical manner he
dramatically stamped the dust from his feet, and pronounced an anathema upon
the town, asked God to destroy it, except the only the home of Mr. Goodall.
Within a few years, every building except one was gone. For more than 150 years,
the home of Seaborn Goodall has stood.
The historical house is operated by the Brier Creek Chapter of the daughters
of the American Revolution and has been on the National Register of Historical
Places since October 17,1977.
When you step into the house, you can see dishes, tables, clothes, furniture,
beds, spinning wheels and other things in the house, are part of the 90% that
was donated by the relatives and people from surrounding counties and people
that had relatives or associates with Seaborn and his family or people who were
interested in that time.
DAR representatives Carolyn Pope and Emelyn Hunter were on hand to assist
Cam with any questions or history facts pertaining to the house.
Cam wanted actors wearing authentic clothing to recreate the story. Lorenzo Dow
is played by Steven Bagaria and Seaborn Goodall is played by Andrew Bearden
along with other actors.
After the film is complete, he hopes to put it on Youtube and may put it on
