the land is ashes and dust and unspeakably hot not going too close – it’s clear they are no place to take a child where they are taken captive by a man living there alone The rest of the novel involves the narrator relating his life for his captor – both to show that he is no threat and to prove that he and his captor are alike enough that they could live together harmoniously It’s unclear how far into the future the story is set; many generations The narrator is living long after a period of Terror when global infrastructure fell apart and technology failed and the climate steadily worsened There was no one moment of crisis; it was just one damn thing after another The narrator grew up in a period of relative stability situated on a peninsula of (what used to be) northwest Western Australia It’s so hot in summer that families live underground for several months of the year only emerging at night to ensure nothing has been destroyed by the weather Even in winter no one works in the middle of the day because heat sickness is a very real danger He is shown the truth about what life used to be like challenged to be someone who acts rather than someone who submits and then trained to be an opera­tor: someone deployed across the world to track down “objects” and “acquit” them to find people whose families were responsible for the worst excesses of the Hundred Years of Light (our time this comes at a cost: His relationships with his mother and his wife both suffer from his long absences and his weak excuses; the killings themselves exact a price both in the loss of comrades and his own psychological health and finally (across 500 pages) explains to his captor what brings him to this precise moment Alongside a fairly small selection of characters and Win­ton uses it to evoke a very particular vision of the future His descriptions are simultaneously bleak and captivating; the narrator’s land is a threaten­ing and dangerous place to live This is a story that I think could only be set in Australia Most of Western Australia today is sparsely populated – resulting in meagre ruins for the future – and the climate is already heating up which will surely result in both population decrease and the sort of accommodations Win­ton describes in this future: The narrator lives pretty much on the Tropic of Capricorn and no one lives north of Capricorn or south of Cancer anymore with most people entirely focused on survival Add Australia’s geographical isolation to this mix and you have ingredients that Winton uses exquisitely in his story about how humans might survive in such a world The grim nature of Juice should be evident The hopefulness comes from the relationship between the man and the girl and from the fact that there are indeed humans who work together even in this bleak world The challenge is in the way Winton pulls no punches regarding climate change and the fact that not enough is being done right now to miti­gate the effects of climate change Specific corpo­rations are named as bearing responsibility but all of us who live through the years of wastefulness are complicit There is an air of fatalism in which the narrator’s story – what’s done is done; there’s also the sense that vengeance I can’t help but think the narrator would look at us “Cli-fi” is a terrible name for an important genre although the issue of power (with its varied meanings) is a central issue this is a novel that is going to sit with me for a very very long time: for the beauty of its language and the challenge of its message Your purchase through the links below brings us a small amount of affiliate income and helps us keep doing all the reviews you love to read Alexandra Pierce is the editor and publisher of the nonfiction Speculative Insight: A Journal of Space, Magic, and Footnotes and was a host of the Hugo Award-winning podcast Galactic Suburbia Alex has edited two award-winning non-fiction anthologies Letters to Tiptree and Luminescent Threads: Connections to Octavia E This review and more like it in the February 2025 issue of Locus While you are here please take a moment to support Locus with a one-time or recurring donation We rely on reader donations to keep the magazine and site going and would like to keep the site paywall free but WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT to continue quality coverage of the science fiction and fantasy field Copyrighted material may not be republished without permission of LSFF Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" “I once did a four book deal at a Locus party on the publisher’s back deck It connects me to the publishing world.” Locus Magazine and Website cover science fiction and allows us to continue to share our content without a paywall Even a small contribution goes a long way toward keeping Locus going and keeping you up to date with new exciting books and in the know about the SFF world The lake at Winton Woods will look pretty different late this summer Army Corps of Engineers plans to let a lot of water out of the lake in order to make repairs to the dam and control tower Project Manager Jeff Esterle tells WVXU a wall of the dam framing the water intake area has some damaged concrete that needs to be removed and the wall repaired The intake screen area also needs concrete repairs The Corps will lower the lake by at least 8 feet "It will be a pretty large area of exposed lake bed .. between the shore and where the lake level is going to be." The Corps will lower the lake by 2 feet per day Esterle says the water needs to be low enough to access the repair areas but high enough to support floating platforms the work crews will be on We might have to draw it down if we get more rain during that work period We may have to re-lower the lake back down to a level where we can access the areas that we're working on," says Esterle "We're planning this for the dry time of the year to hopefully limit a lot of that up and down of the reservoir." The greatly lowered 183-acre lake means the Winton Woods Boathouse will close mid-summer and the lake will be closed to water sports The floating boathouse will have to be temporarily relocated One section of the camp ground also will be closed during the work Esterle says the lake won't be completely empty but I think there'll be plenty of room for any fish to find some refuge in some deeper pools," he says The Army Corps of Engineers is footing the bill but the area is managed and operated by Great Parks Its construction was approved under the Flood Control Act of 1946 Work began in 1950 and the lake opened two years later Great Parks leased 905 acres around the future lake to build a park March 1 but work was stalled by funding difficulties and World War II A levy finally passed in 1948 and the first portions of the park opened in 1951 The lake's official name from the Corps is West Fork Lake a name selected by Great Parks (for the lake and park as a whole) because of Winton Road Its purpose is as a reservoir for the West Fork of the Mill Creek to protect the area below the dam from flooding The dam is 6.5 miles above the confluence with the Mill Creek Esterle reports the lake swelled to almost 17 feet The Corps held the water in the lake until downstream conditions improved The Winton Woods golf course and event space — the Mill Course and Mill Race Lodge — were named to honor that heritage Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Ohio — The Winton Woods girls basketball team is a state champion for the first time in program history Winton Woods defeated Whitehouse Anthony Wayne 70-55 Friday night in a Division II state final at the University of Dayton Arena Winton Woods (27-0) completes its season as the only undefeated team in Ohio “For our girls to experience this — it’s just a great feeling,” Winton Woods coach Carlton Gray said “We got one in football a couple years ago Friday was the first state tournament appearance for the Winton Woods girls basketball program.

His 12 3-pointers are tied for fifth place on the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s state record list for most 3-pointers in a boys basketball game He is one of 23 players in state history to have 12 3-pointers in a game “The most memorable part of the game for me is when his teammates demanded we keep feeding the hot hand and how unselfish the rest of the team was; they all have a team first brotherhood mentality which I love about all of them,” Winton Woods boys basketball coach Mike Pilgrim said As a coach and just someone who truly loves and enjoys the purity of the game Wilkins celebrated with his teammates after the game He also sat in the locker room with “50” written on a paper — reminiscent of the famous Wilt Chamberlin photo in 1962 when the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer scored 100 points to set an NBA record who is uncommitted to a college program as of Wednesday morning 1.7 steals and 1.3 steals entering Tuesday night He will forever remember the 15th game of his senior season “All I told Christian was he was made for this game and this business of basketball and that I love him,” Pilgrim said “He is just an all-around great kid and a great athlete and hard worker He is the first one in the gym and last to leave always; a great student a great teammate and a great ambassador for the city and his family and his community.” previously held the two single-game program records with 45 points on eight 3-pointers according to Winton Woods athletic director Jeff Merrill Winton Woods, ranked No. 24 in the MaxPreps Ohio boys basketball rankings (regardless of divisions) improved to 13-2 overall this season 9-1 Eastern Cincinnati Conference) play host to Kings (14-4 CINCINNATI (WKRC) - The Winton Woods High School girls' basketball team capped the 2024-25 season in style with its first title The Warriors finished an undefeated season with a 70-55 victory over Whitehouse Anthony Wayne to capture the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division II state championship on Friday night at University of Dayton Arena Winton Woods finished the season with a 27-0 record Winton Woods outscored Whitehouse Anthony Wayne in every quarter 37-33 at halftime and 50-40 after three quarters Four players scored in double figures for the champs led by freshman guard Strawberry Blankumsee The others to score in double figures were senior forward Daniah Trammell As Ningaloo reef bleaches and an election looms we must hold to account those who stand in the way of our safety – the small cohort profiting from fossil fuels Late last spring, I was part of an expedition to Scott Reef, a magnificent coral atoll nearly 300 kilometres off the Kimberley coast. And while it was a privilege to be in such a remote and wonderful place, watching rare and endemic sea life drifting past, the moment I tipped from the boat in my mask and fins, I knew something was wrong. The water was too hot. Not tropical warm, but uncomfortably hot. Our first dive was over a coral garden at the crest of a sea mount. But I struggled to concentrate on what I was seeing, because of an uncanny, skin-crawling sensation that came over me at the surface. When I took a breath and got down past 8 metres, the unpleasantness receded a little, but on the way back up it overtook me like the shimmery, woozy feeling you get before you faint. “Is it just me,” I asked marine ecologist Dr Ben Fitzpatrick as we climbed back into the dinghy, “or is this water super hot?” The veteran marine scientist pointed to the boat’s sonar unit. The reading it gave was 35C. 1:27Footage shows coral bleaching at Western Australia's Ningaloo Reef – videoOur next dive was in the idyllic lagoon near Sandy Islet. As outgoing tide drained the shallows, the water grew pearly, almost opaque, like what comes out of the hot tap at home. Where the current drove down into the deep drop-off, the thermocline was visible – you could see the hottest water colliding with the cooler layers. At the surface, it was 36C. “Dear God,” I said. “It’s only November. Is this just a local anomaly?” Read moreThe way Ben dropped his mask at his feet and looked away to the horizon was not at all reassuring I told myself the boat’s instruments were a little off kilter Ben brought up the sea temperature satellite models on his laptop “You know where all this hot water is headed The Leeuwin current pushes south and drives tropical water inshore along the West Australian coast The dread in that moment of recognition haunted me for the remainder of the trip In December, we heard the first reports of corals bleaching in the Kimberley. Farther south, in January, 30,000 fish died en masse on the Pilbara Coast Last week, Ningaloo reef began to experience widespread coral bleaching Early reports had sea temperatures 4 degrees hotter than usual ‘These are not just unseasonable temperatures – they are unsafe and they’re humanly unsustainable.’ Coral bleaching on Ningaloo reef Photograph: Violeta J Brosig/Blue Media ExmouthAs Ningaloo’s many gifted photographers and videographers began to document the reef’s distress Coming so hard on the heels of the bleaching episode of 2022 Some cling to the hope that things look worse than they are Those of us who’ve been studying and defending Ningaloo for decades are trapped between rage and sorrow Because we know this was a foreseeable calamity This is what 30 years of denial and delay have brought us This is what current government policy settings produce and what they’ll continue to inflict on our coral reefs unless we turn back from the brink right now These marine heatwaves are becoming more frequent and more intense politicians and fossil fuel barrackers dismissed their warnings Such is the cost of business as usual – more heat stress Winter temperatures in the north of WA were in the 40s last year Over summer they’ve been in the high 40s for days on end Free weekly newsletterEach week our editors select five of the most interesting entertaining and thoughtful reads published by Guardian Australia and our international colleagues Sign up to receive it in your inbox every Saturday morning These are not just unseasonable temperatures – they are unsafe We should not be expected to find them politically acceptable We are on track for 3C of heating Which means all coral reefs will die and vast swathes of the planet will become uninhabitable The IPCC says that if we can restrict heating to 1.5C and fewer humans would perish or be forced to live in misery But to do this we’d need to refrain from any more fossil fuel developments That means putting humanity’s long-term wellbeing first The science is clear on this – the morality should be too Elections aren’t our only opportunity to disrupt and destroy business at usual but they’re a good place to beginThe problem is that a small cohort of people make enormous and the political leaders who protect their commercial interests all deny responsibility for climate breakdown yet their role in delivering all this heat and suffering is clear and unequivocal These are the people who stand in the way of our safety with two significant elections ahead of us in WA while we’re still absorbing the week’s bad news from Ningaloo Having acknowledged our extinction crisis and the climate emergency Anthony Albanese promised to introduce more effective nature laws His government hasn’t delivered on that promise A policy failure this monumental isn’t just politically embarrassing – in the real world of blood and fur and feathers Sad to say, part of that shame can be sheeted home to my home state of Western Australia.

The Warriors who held teams to 35.4 points throughout the season They forced 11 turnovers in the first half and kept the Generals off the scoreboard for three minutes and 28 seconds at the start of the second quarter and scored 29 points off those turnovers compared to just 9 for Anthony Wayne Containing Villanova commit Elise Bender was a different story She had 16 points in the first half and knocked down both of her 3-pointers The Generals had five triples in the first 16 minutes Bender finished with a team-high 26 points Ursula in the DII volleyball state championship game finished with 14 points and three rebounds About the only place the Warriors were lacking on the final box score was the rebounding margin including 19 on the offensive end that led to 22 second-chance points "The fact that we gave up so many rebounds kept the game too close for comfort," Gray said he never celebrated until the clock hit zeros because he remembers seeing his daughter Amber's senior season at Lakota West end on a buzzer-beater to Mount Notre Dame But maybe none of those numbers matter now that the Warriors have the trophy the only number that matters is the final score It was an official coming-out party for freshman Strawberry Blankumsee She had the Warriors' first 8 points and 13 in the first half she sat down midway through the second quarter after picking up her second foul Even with the rookie sensation on the bench the Warriors were able to maintain their 4-point lead until the halftime buzzer we just said we need to try and focus on separating in the first three or four minutes of the third quarter the girls kept pushing through," Gray said Behind 4 more points from Trammell and 6 from a reinvigorated Blankumsee the Warriors expanded their lead to 10 at the end of the third quarter Ra'Khyia Prince and Niyala Harmon each recorded a steal Whitley Davis and Skylar Kesler all pulled down multiple rebounds Breaking the huddle for the fourth quarter Winton Woods received one of its loudest cheers of the game The Warriors used the energy to knock down their second and third 3-pointers of the game to open up a 60-46 lead "We knew they had three kids that could score but our goal was to try to get them tired by continuous pressure and to hopefully turn the ball over without exposing ourselves too much on the other end," Gray said free throws carried the Warriors to the finish shooting 77 percent from the charity stripe for the game Davis blocked a Bender jump shot before Blankumsee sealed the deal at the free-throw line "She controlled the game and all those layups weren't easy she just put her stamp on the game," Gray said That doesn't take a special coach to tell her to get to the basket She's just doing what she's good at and the kids are smart enough to help her do it." While Trammell and Davis finished in double figures four players had three steals and no one had more than eight rebounds We're always with each other on and off the court we just come and we all work hard," Prince said Anthony Wayne 55Winton Woods: Blankumsee 7 13 28 Ms. Mary Norma Winton McAlister passed away on Sunday, December 1, 2024 at her residence.

Made with love by funeralOne CINCINNATI — Camping reservations at Winton Woods Campground have been canceled through April 9 amid flooding concerns The Tri-State is facing a line of severe storms that could bring damaging winds the Tri-State is under a flood watch from 8 p.m most areas will have the potential to see 6 to 8 inches of rainfall It's that heavy rainfall that has prompted the cancellations at Winton Woods Campground Great Parks said the US Army Corps of Engineers advised the parks department that Winton Lake could flood in the coming days That flooding would likely impact the campground Great Parks is notifying guests that camping reservations at the Winton Woods Campground are canceled through April 9 and offering opportunities to reschedule in better weather conditions," reads the announcement from Great Parks "The Winton Woods Campground has been partially open due to construction upgrades underway there." Great Parks also said it will monitor for other storm impacts and it could take additional steps as necessary Those steps could include removing boats from Great Parks lakes and closing roads and trails According to Great Parks' website, where it posts closures and information about its parks Steamboat Bend Boat Ramp and Marina is also closed due to rising river levels It will remain closed until the water level returns to normal Mitchell Memorial Forest's mountain bike trails and the wooded horse trails at Miami Whitewater Forest are also closed because of wet conditions The athletic fields at Francis RecreAcres are also closed because of the field conditions The lassitude that distinguishes our moment is born of sorrow and buried rage I try to sidestep conversations like these Not because I’ve forgone an opportunity to win an argument but because I know I’ve failed to defend those who need and deserve my solidarity The awkward truth is that the mature-aged complainers offering such judgments are not imagining things. The dejection of young people is palpable But the mistake many of their elders make is assuming that every instance of slumped posture and downcast mien is an expression of choice what they’re observing is a logical response to the world around them and their prospects within it And this air of sadness is hardly confined to hipster cafes shopping malls and the bedrooms of adolescents Have you noticed the glassy stares and heard the listless tones of your middle-aged neighbours and thirtysomething colleagues Have you considered how we entertain ourselves the warm bath of false cheer and cheap consolation we wallow in Trauma specialist Thomas Hübl calls it “collective numbness” an affect that masks the underworld of stultifying compulsions addictions and evasions we prefer not to discuss ‘Those in power cannot acknowledge what’s right before their eyes because to do so would not only undermine their status but threaten their very conception of reality.’ Photograph: Paris Papaioannou/AFP/Getty ImagesThis is a form of communal anguish If it seems more evident in young people it may be because they have fewer layers of insulation and camouflage The corrosive burn of their distress is not as easily dampened by the comforts and diversions that blind their elders A 2020 survey in the UK found that 70% of 18- to 24-year-olds reported experiencing helplessness younger people are being noticed but they’re not really being seen For all their deluded airs of respectability and legitimacy our leaders are largely agents of desolationThese kids have arrived at an uncanny moment The air they breathe is suspect and the people they should be able to rely upon to act in their best interests have demonstrated time and again they cannot be trusted The certainties enjoyed by previous generations are so far from reach as to be cruelly mythical I think it’s the duty of older citizens to face this The most stupid thing we can do right now is to persist in the lie we tell ourselves – that their sense of feeling forsaken has nothing to do with us The name for what ails us has been a matter of debate for years – “climate anxiety” “solastalgia” – but none of these labels sound strong enough to capture the enervating creep of loss and dread that torments so many educated westerners are experiencing is a form of paralysis Frantz Fanon described something similar in Algeria in the 1950s when he observed “the tense immobility of the dominated society” The terms with which the old now dismiss the “lethargy” of the young reminds me of the ways the French discounted the puzzling ailments of their colonial subjects in Algeria The morose passivity of native Algerians was inexplicable to them Colonial officials recorded widespread “malingering” and constant complaints of “phantom pain” usually associated with amputees French doctors coined a racist term for it – the “North African syndrome” there was a logical explanation for what mystified French occupiers What they witnessed but never quite saw was the misery of subjugation what happens to people when they’re robbed scorned and humiliated every day of their lives Flood waters engulf homes in Lismore weakness and asthenia” colonial doctors described eerily mirrors “solastalgia” I think this correlation is telling and important Their underlying causes are invisible to those who generate them and profit from them Those in power cannot acknowledge what’s right before their eyes because to do so would not only undermine their status but threaten their very conception of reality It was Fanon, of course, who dubbed colonial peoples “the wretched of the earth” He was one of the psychiatrists who ripped the mask off “North African syndrome” He called it for what it was and focused on the malevolent injustices that caused it Fanon fought against the Nazi occupation of France The disgrace of the Vichy regime taught him that “exploitation cannot be built on force alone” for the secret weapon of every occupier is the collaborating functionary within the subjugated population Fanon saw that the terrible hardships of the struggle for liberation could be endured because the promise of freedom kept hope alive in the people in the grip of a global emergency whose tribulations are being visited upon the poorest of us already few of our leaders inspire the hope and solidarity that could help us fight Many are devoted servants of the status quo Which is a polite way of saying they’re collaborators Deep down we know it. This is the source of our communal dread. Few of us want to admit it, but what we’re experiencing is the horror of resignation, the humiliation of captivity and the shame of collaboration. Some may balk at the analogy, but I think it’s fair and apt. The lassitude that distinguishes our moment is born of sorrow and buried rage. We, the richest and most mobile cohort in history, are pitifully poor in spirit, suffering pains and terrors we cannot express. We act like colonial subjects. Because, in effect, that’s what we are.

Some governments have become especially obliging in their deployment of assets of law and order. In Western Australia, a young mother who chalks the slogan – NO NEW GAS – on a public bridge will have her home raided by terrorist police in the wee hours. In the Kimberley and the Northern Territory, the resistance of Indigenous custodians to fracking wells or pipelines on traditional lands and waters now provokes threats of legal shock and awe from the chief executives of oil and gas companies.
