This year we were able to send two Mars Rover teams
to competition at Moscow. After four months of meetings to plan and
construct a rover that will maneuver over rough terrain, climb steep inclines,
and collect rocks the teams were able to compete with other schools across
Northern Idaho. In addition to the Rover construction, teams
had to present their journey of the process of designing a rover through
a poster and oral presentation. Teams this year were Shake & Bake (Terran
Vanator, Alex Throop-Black, Brandon Anderson, Bailie Gehring, and Cole
Creutzberg-top photo) and Shortiez (Nathan Gimmeson, Joel Wimer, Cole Frei,
Robert Remmington, and Raice Dalgliesh-bottom photo). A special thank
you goes out to our team leaders and volunteers: Cheryl Gimmeson
and Danelle Black.

Someone was having fun a week ago at a water runoff
pond on a field Doug Lustig farms near the Greencreek Road-Old Highway
7 intersection setting up a fisherman with a cooler and “free beer.” A
sign was later added to contact Lustig for fishing rights and also a small
sailboat was added. The storm Saturday managed to knock over both the sailboat
and the fisherman. Photo by Steve Wherry. Click on the photo for a larger
