Student STEM Competition
Sparks Creativity
(NAPS)--Educating stu-
dents to think innovatively
about science and technology
may be a step toward finding
solutions to critical world prob-
lems and may perhaps even
help avoid future catastrophes
like the Gulf oil spill.
The Toshiba/NSTAExplora-
Vision program--the world's
largest student science com-
petition--has been promoting
science, technology, engineer-
ing and math (or STEM) edu-
cation among K-12th graders
for the past 18 years.
Members of Norwalk Boy Scout Troop 30 joined members of the Norwalk/
Cumming American Legion Post to present the colors at the Norwalk High School
Homecoming game Friday, Sept. 10. Scouts who participated were Brandon Fick,
Doug Jones, Dakota Bright, Tyler Whitehead, Jonah Hildebrandt and Sammy
Hansen. Photo submitted.
Seminar On
Domestic Violence
Children & Families of
Iowa's (CFI) Domestic Vio-
lence Services program is
looking to raise awareness
on the severe impact of
domestic violence on our
society during Domestic
Violence Awareness
Month in October.
With statistics showing
that one in four women
will be affected by domes-
tic violence in her lifetime,
it is evident there is a need
for awareness. CFI's pro-
gram has a number of edu-
cational meetings and ac-
tivities for the .month of
October. Thursday, Oct. 14,
will be the main event with
a domestic violence simu-
lation, vendors with edu-
cational and volunteer in-
formation, entertainment
and food and beverages.
The event will take place
at Department of Human
Services Riverplace, 2309
Euclid Ave., from 4-7 p.m.
The event is free and open
to the public.
For more information
about the awareness
events going on through-
out the month, go to

Catching the Science Bug:
Research shows that stu-
dents motivated in science
are likely to carry that inter-
est into adulthood.
Hoping to create a new
generation of engineers and
scientists, the contest has
attracted over 270,000 stu-
dents since 1992. Not sur-
prisingly, many recent en-
trants have come up with
ways to potentially help the
environment.
Students who participate
can also win money for college
tuition--members of the four
first-place teams each receive
a $10,000 U.S. Savings Bond
while second-place winners
each win a $5,000 bond.
