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 ther exploration of a science future. REPORT From page iA morning. According to Sgt. Chris Rooks with the Warner Robins Police Department Criminal Investigation Division, a search of the vic tim’s residence produced evi dence of fraudulent activity related to the case. “We’re not planning to charge her at this time,” Rooks said.

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. Rooks said the Warner Robins Police Department elected to inform the public of the progress in the case to alleviate any false alarms the public might have due to the reports of the incident.
