Brush Scientists: Some of the Best in the State Washington and Morgan Bi-County Science Fair held at Brush, Colorado, was one of the most rewarding for Brush competitors. Many of these young scientists qualified for the State Science Fair held in Fort Collins, Colorado. Derek Moser qualified for the International Science Fair in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with Shawn Gabriel and Andy Bor- chert being chosen as alternates for this prestigious honor. Those who qualified for state were Andy Borchert, Derek Moser, Shawn Gabriel, Brenda VanDonselaar, Dwayne Schultz, Kevin VanDonselaar, Kevin Carlson, Joe Hirschfeld, Dawn Gabriel, and Chris Mills, with Randy Plank serving as alternate. Overall, Brush did best at state, triumphing over 4A, 3A, 2A, and single A competition. Derek Moser and Kevin VanDonselaar both placing first in the engineering field at state with Chris Mills and Shawn Gabriel placing second in engineering and third in physical science, respectively. Some of the things which go into presenting a science fair project include getting an idea, developing that idea in- to an experiment, doing the experiment (sometimes over and over to get accurate results), researching for the pro- ject, writing the report for the project, preparing a speech, and then, the day of the science fair, delivering the speech and explaining the project. Many hours were spent work- ing on these projects which was evident at both the Bi- County and State Science Fairs in which many BHS scien- tists excelled. Sponsors Don Gabriel and David Miner have high hopes for next year’s prospects. • THE EFFECTS JF TT SECTICIDES ON C0A6IILATI0N J mo CLOT RETRACTION Shawn Gabriel, who has qualified for the International Science Fair twice, took third at state.

Knowledge Bowl Boasts New Sponsor The ’86-’87 school year was a learning and building year for the Knowledge Bowl Team. The team was made up of mostly underclassmen and they had never competed at the high school level. Not only was the team under- experienced, but Mrs. Teter, the club sponsor, was also new this year. Brush competed in four meets in the ’86-’87 school year. A big meet was held in Brush in March. Eight teams participated at this meet. Eaton won first at the meet. Next year Brush hopes to have more investors and they hope to make the knowledge bowl a “letter- ing” system. Some of the members have some ideas to improve the program. Tera Sumner was quoted as saying that she “would like to work on the machines more and be able to work with just the team of four people, not mix them up every week.” The members are hoping to have a better year after gaining experience from this year. Member of the team Lori Larson, sponsor Mrs. Teter, Tera Sumner, Marci Windsheimer, Dwayne Schultz, Andy Borchert, Shawn Gabriel, Jason Meisel, and Tim Moser, met many early mornings for practice.
