Greater Cincinnati Regional Science Bowl
February 2006
The EMCBC sponsored the “Fifteenth Annual Greater Cincinnati Regional Science Bowl” on February 4. Twenty-four teamsfrom Ohio and Kentucky participated in the day-long event in which teams answered questions covering astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, mathematics and general science. After an intense day of quizzing, a team from Beavercreek High School near Dayton, Ohio, emerged as the winner, taking home the “2006 Championship Honors.” Fairfield High School was runner-up and a team from Centerville High School placed third. Beavercreek High School will represent our area at the DOE National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C. April 27-May 1. Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman will host the final day’s competition at the Forrestal Building.
Two key partners in the event were Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, who donated the use of their facility and quizzing equipment for the competition, and DOE’s Office of Legacy Management’s support contractor S.M. Stoller Co, who donated the services of Sue Walpole as overall event coordinator. Approximately 50 volunteers from the EMCBC, Ohio Field Office, Fernald and Mound contractor organizations, and retirees did a terrific job to ensure the day’s success.
EMCBC staff and family members assisted in both the administrative/logistical preparations and the event-day operations of the Science Bowl. These volunteers included Richard Anzures, Karen Bahan, Jack Craig, Wilmari Delgado, Bob Everson,
Bartley Fain, Glenn Griffiths, Dave Hess and his son Adam, Ralph Holland, Renee Holland and her daughter Holly, Kim Johnson, Larry Kelly, Sonja Knight, Dave Lojek, Tony LeDuc, Tamara Ludwig, Joanne Merritt, Bob Nelson and his wife Betty, Jeff Parkin, Carolyn Roehrig, Lance Schlag, Ed Skintik, Mona Snyder, Helene Taylor and her daughter Colleen, Paul Whalen and Anne Wickham. Many, many thanks to them for volunteering time and effort to benefit science education in our communities.
