    Sparks flew Tuesday at Admiral Moorer Middle School when Martin Bakker, Ph.D. visited the school fo r demonstrations in nanoscience.
    Bakker, associate professor of chemistry at the University of Alabama, showed students in Brenda O’Neal’s 6th grade class how to create sparks by rubbing a metal striker along a length of sandpaper and make iron dust glow brilliantly when sprinkled on a hot plate.
    But the kids weren’t just learning about nanoscience – they were learning how much fun science can be. That is a major goal of Bakker’s and his program, which is co-funded by the University of Alabama and the National Science Foundation.
    “Our job is to train the next generation of scientists,” said Bakker. “(And) the best way to get kids excited about science is to actually let them do science.”
    But the program has a third part as well: to spark new ideas for the university faculty taking part in the experiments.
  • Eufaula High School Students Win National FFA Tractor Restoration Title
    The Eufaula FFA took the $2,500 grand prize in the 13th annual Chevron Delo Tractor Restoration Competition, defeating nine other teams from across the United States at the National FFA Organization’s 81st annual convention in Indianapolis.
    The Eufaula team, led by Buster Padgett, included: Cody Medley, Steven Filgo, Jake Padgett, Katie Walden, Justin Gibson, Andrea Pittman, Jackson Harris, Jim Johnson and Zack Padgett.
    The Cotton Center (Texas) FFA was first runner-up with its 1961 John Deere 3010, and the Northwood FFA of Nappanee, Ind., was second runner-up with its 1967 John Deere 3020 Gas.
    Matthew Dehlinger of the Olney (Ill.,) FFA won the individual competition’s $2,500 grand prize with his 1936 John Deere A. Isley Elmore of the Elmore (Texas) FFA was
    first runner-up in the individual contest with his 1950 Farmall H. Jordan Raska of the
    Brazos FFA in Wallis, Texas was second runner-up with a 1959 John Deere 830.
    First runners-up received $1,500, while second runners-up took home $1,000.
    All entrants to the Chevron Delo Tractor Restoration Competition are required to
    submit a workbook detailing the entire tractor restoration process, from mechanical
    overhauls of the engine, transmission and auxiliary and ancillary systems, to the
    external appearance of the tractors.
    This year’s entries were narrowed down to eight finalists in the individual competition and 10 finalists in the chapter competition. These finalists presented their projects to a panel of five professional tractor restorers. Projects were graded on restoration
    process, results and documentation, as well as oral presentation and safety
    precautions.
    Since 1995, the Chevron Delo Tractor Restoration Competition has rewarded the
    determination, mechanical skills and business savvy of high school aged FFA
    members from around the country. Through the restoration of an antique tractor,
    participants develop skills applicable to the modern business world. The skills needed for success in the program – equipment maintenance, team work, project
    management, budgeting, planning and marketing – help develop the participants into
    future leaders in the agriculture community.

    India Kornegay can add another significant achievement to her prep softball resume.
    The Eufaula High senior recorded her 1,000th strikeout Thursday in a 2-0 loss to Northview. She entered the game with 988 strikeouts. She finished with 1,001 after retiring 13 Lady Cougars at the plate.
    “This is a great honor. No one has ever done this at Eufaula before, and not many people have ever done it at all,” EHS coach Todd Clements said.
    Kornegay is among a few dozen pitchers in state fast-pitch history to tally 1,000 strikeouts in her career. However, she won’t break the state record of 2,463 set by Hilary Phillips of Ider from 2004-09.
    “(Kornegay) would have 2,000 if she pitched every game since she was in the eighth grade, but we have other pitchers that are on our staff that are really good, too,” Clements said. “She works on her drills and pitching all the time. Her hard work has paid off for her.”
    Kornegay does own at least one state record. She struck out 37 batters in a playoff game last season against Faith Academy. Eufaula won 2-0 in 15 innings. She shattered the previous record of 31 set by Brooke Ross of Wetumpka in a 2005 win over Shelby County. That game went 19 innings.
    Kornegay recently signed to play college softball at USC-Aiken, one of the top NCAA Division II programs in the nation.
    Tiger loss
    Despite Kornegay’s accomplishment, Clements was still disappointed with the team’s effort against Northview. Eufaula only recorded four hits and struck out 12 times in the loss.
    “This was our most disappointing game of the year in my minds,” he said. “We took several steps back (Thursday) night.”
    Paige Rowland did have two hits for the sixth-ranked Lady Tigers (11-7), which play at Central-Phenix City this Thursday.

    Three Eufaula High School students participated in the 2009 District VIII Honor Band Festival Feb. 27-28 at Troy University.  These students first participated in a rigorous audition on Jan. 17.  They had to memorize 12 major scales, 2 minor scales, and a chromatic scale.  They also had to prepare three etudes for their particular instrument(s), then sight-read a piece on the spot.  Only the top scores were selected for District Honor Band, and the best of those were selected to go on to the All-State Honor Band Festival on April 16-18 at Auburn University.  Tiffany Campbell (flute), Ryan Noblin (percussion), and Chad Williams (baritone saxophone) were selected for the All-District and All-State Honor Bands.
    For the District Honor Band, the students spent 1 1/2 days in rehearsals with a professional conductor, preparing a concert for the public. 
    Campbell and Williams were conducted by Allen Gray, who is the President of Jalen & Matrix Music Publishing.  He has worked with more than 600 bands and orchestras from 46 states, as well as in Hong Kong, Australia and Canada.  Noblin was conducted by Chris Hagler, who is a Eufaula native, and graduated from Eufaula High School.  He is currently the Director of Bands at Fort Payne High School.
