Cabell County Sheriff’s Office continues pre-Easter Tradition By Trudy Black trudyblack@thecabellstandard.com
Last Wednesday, April 4th, turned out to be the perfect day for Ona Elementary students (Pre-K thru 2nd grade) to go hunting for Easter eggs at the Cabell County Sheriff ’s Field Office on Howell’s Mill Road, Ona. The weather was warm and sunny. The eggs were filled with candy. And the children were prepared to go a-hunting! Approximately 200 students, along with some siblings and a few guests, searched for the 850 brightlycolored, candy-filled eggs that had been scattered over the grounds. Some eggs were easier to find (for the littlest of hunters) and some eggs were hidden well enough that the more experienced hunters had to ‘work’ a little harder for their reward. Many Deputies were on-

Cabell Midland High School Freshman Academy hosts Third Annual Roller Coaster Wars The Cabell Midland High School Order of the Knights Freshman Academy Physical Science students began the Third Annual Roller Coaster Wars on March 30, 2012. The project ran through April 4, 2012 led by science teachers Tiffany Rawson, Tyler Ellis, Julie Byers, and Bekka Atkins. Coaster construction occurred in the Cabell Midland High School auxiliary gym. To complete the project, students were placed in groups to build their own themed roller coasters. They used foam tubing to create a track of two hills and a
loop and used a marble for their car. Students were encouraged to bring additional materials to build and decorate their coasters for their chosen theme. Students must know and understand potential and kinetic energy, momentum, velocity, and acceleration to compete against their peers. Throughout the week they collected and graphed data as they completed test runs on their coasters in preparation for the actual competition at the end of the week. SEE ACADEMY ON PAGE 3
