Young mi Amid a jungle of pulleys, wires and small propeller-driven vehicles, 28 students have been working quietly in a small room at Cassie Hall Elementary School. Four teams of seven children in Grades 5 to 7 have been perfecting their solutions to problems in the annual Olym- pics of the Mind regional com- petition, , And while the students still had some work to do as of last week, everyone was hopeful they would complete the pro- blems by the Saturday deadline. The Olympics of :the Mind problems pose an intriguing mix of science and performance, physics and drama. Each problem — in addition to completing the required tasks as specified — must have a theme. “Our theme-..is. ‘Northern Road Hazards',’’ explains 12-year-old Krister Partel, as he gives onlookers a tour of his team’s delayed reaction project. There’s the landslide, the hitch- hikers who get run over and the waterfall —- not to mention the giant pothole that captures a moving truck, Krister and the others on his team — Hayley Gordon, Kathleen Gook, Ian Bohle, Soraya Manji, Erica Francis and Ricki Chan — will release several marbles to start the pro- cess, One marble triggers a mousetrap, which pulls the plug from 4 basin of water, draining into another basin of water, That in turn shifts the balance on a plank of wood, setting a car into motion. It drops into a PHANTOM STAIR-CLIMBER and its architect — Sarah Watts - stare each other down in the final run-up to last weekend’s Olym- pics of the Mind. Sarah's team, one of four from Cassie Hall Terrace Standard, Wednesday, March 11,1992 — Page B1 Play auditions start tonight With the success of Living Together still smelling sweet, Terrace Little Theatre is already planning its spring productions!

It drops through the giant pothole and triggers a series of marbies that roll along _and drop down several levels to turn on the light at the end of the project, ‘This team has come in every Saturday for the past four or five weeks to get it done,” says teacher Jean Hynes. Another team’s project is a relay. They’ve built a set of five cars propelled by different power sources — electricity, mechanical energy, pneumatics - and vibration. Bach car has to cover a distance of 20 feet, and one of Lisa Carpino them has to climb a set of stairs. Each car must carry the team’s flag, and the final car must pop a balloon at the far end. ‘Hynes says the children learn by trial and error, becoming | more persistent as they try dif- ferent ideas. “They've probably built four or five different vibration cars by now trying to. find the one that will work,” says Hynes. “They've taken apart an old dustbuster (vacuum) to get the fan oul of it — these kids are just ingenious.’’ _ The session broke up with the team trying to find an electric toothbrush, in the hope that it would be the key to powering the vibration car. A ticket to ride The brave Terrace 10-year-old takes a week out from her battle with cancer to fly to Disneyland on April 16. Lisa has a rare form of cell ular cancer detected last summer . when doctors found a tumour on one of her ovaries, Four difficult rounds of chemotherapy later, she is given a 90 per cent chance of making a full recovery. Her week-long trip will i include three days at Universal Studios, says Alfreda Price, who helped raise some of the money. About $1,600 was raised locally by the local Elks and the Italian Club. The balance will come from Child Wish — a Vancouver organization for children with cancer. Lisa goes in for more testi ng when she returns.
