Disease Control, he worked
on upgrading the trap.
Since he first presented
the project locally he has
been working to stabilize the
device.
When asked if he had
gotten any suggestions for
improving the device, he
said, “It was really later
when people came to view
displays, that I found the
most help.
“Some of the visitors, civil
ians asked questions that I
hadn’t thought of and gave
me some good ideas.”
As far as .his current trip,
the hardest challenge he
said he’s found so far was a
Halloween chemistry lab one
requiring him to combine
three chemicals to make an
orange product, which then
turned black.
The challenge was to deter
mine the chemical sequence
and discover scientific meth
od to this magic.
While not much leisure
time has been included,
the challenges and the new
friends from across the
country seemed to spark his
imagination for even fur

According to Sgt. Chris
Rooks with the Warner
Robins Police Department
Criminal Investigation
Division, a search of the vic

related to the case. “We’re
not planning to charge her
at this time,” Rooks said.
The “victim” has not been
identified by police, but could
have been charged with false
report of a crime.
Rooks explained “there
are some circumstances,
all related to the case, so
we decided it’s best not to
charge her at this point.”

Also at the event, he said
he has had the opportunity
to speak with Steve Jacobs,
aka “Judge Jake”.
Jake, according to the
Discovery website, is involved
in most of the program. For
months leading up to Finalist
Week in October, he works
closely with the Discovery
team to create, test and
validate dynamic scientific
challenges for 40 finalists to
execute in Washington, D.C.
From building a rocket car
to identifying paramecium,
the unique challenges are
large-scale, endeavors that
teams of eight tackle in 90
minutes or less.
All challenges follow
national curriculum stan
dards and are carefully
planned to measure specific
scientific skills and meet
predefined judging criteria.
While a diligent taskmas
ter, Lloyd said that the judge
is a “nice” guy to talk to,
emphasizing that “Judge
Jake” has strongly encour
aged Lloyd to continue his
exploration of science as a
future career.
Not forgetting where he
started, Lloyd, who added
he was hopiing to do some
sightseeing before return
ing to Houston County, was
quick to thank all his teach
ers for their help and espe
cially his parents for theirs.

the reports of the incident.
