Great Mills High School February 6, 2010 Great Mills High School February 6, 2010 Proud to support initiatives to grow our future workforce. The Patuxent Partnership www.paxpartnership.org ST. MARY'S COUNTY SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FAIR 2010 WELCOME AND GUIDE We welcome you to the 2010 St. Mary's County Science and Engineering Fair, our 50th annual fair. Students in public, nonpublic, and home schools in the county have submitted the science exhibits displayed here. The exhibits are the result of projects generated by the students' interest in science. These students have taken on the role of scientists through their research. The core of science is inquiry, research, and discovery. The students are offered a venue at the Science and Engineering Fair through which they may present their findings to their fellow students and to the public. The Science and Engineering Fair Board hopes that this experience is a stepping stone to even greater scientific endeavors. Exhibits are entered in two divisions: Junior (grades 6 through 8) and Senior (grades 9 through 12). In each division, exhibits are placed in one of 17 subject areas as listed in this program. Each exhibit is assigned a project number, which is listed in this program. Corresponding numbers are placed on the exhibits. All exhibits must adhere to the size and safety regulations specified by the Prince George's Science Fair Association and endorsed by the St. Mary's County Science and Engineering Fair Board. Selected exhibits from the St. Mary's County Science and Engineering Fair will be chosen to be entered in the Prince George's Area Science Fair which will be held March 27 - March 29, 2010, at the Largo Student Center, Prince George's Community College. Grand Prize winners at the Prince George’s Area Science Fair may have the opportunity to attend the 2009 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in San Jose, California on May 9 - May 14, 2010. The St. Mary’s County Science and Engineering Fair Board would like to thank Ms. Tracey Heibel, Principal of Great Mills High School, for making the school facilities available for the 2010 St. Mary’s County Science and Engineering Fair. Thank you to the parents, teachers, mentors, and others who have made the process of discovery real to these students.

We will be getting together with our friends from the General Smallwood Chapter to attend the Blue Crabs Baseball Game on Sunday afternoon, 24 June at the Regency Furniture Stadium. We did this last year and a great time was had by all. The stadium is located just off of Billingsley Road between Route 5 and Route 301 south of Waldorf. (From St. Mary's and Calvert Counties, go north on Route 5 toward Waldorf. Turn left on Billingsley Road. Take Billingsley Road for approximately three miles. Turn left on Piney Church Road. Go approximately 0.5 miles and the stadium will be on the right.) The stadium is handicapped accessible through the main gate. The National Anthem will be at 1400 and the game will begin promptly at 1405 (2:05pm). We have managed to negotiate a lower price than was originally reported. The cost will be $23 per person, and kids five and under are free. The cost includes the admission, seats in an area reserved for us and an all-you-can-eat buffet catered by the Texas Roadhouse (hot dogs, BBQ chicken, pulled pork, French fries, baked beans, and unlimited soft drinks). The buffet starts when the gates open at 1:30, and the buffet will run for two hours. We encourage everyone to come at 1:30 to enjoy the buffet.

The Project is within the Census-designated Lexington Park-California-Chesapeake Ranch Estates, MD Urbanized Area. The proposed improvements will facilitate the continued growth in the region and urbanized area by ensuring safe and efficient connectivity to key military and private sector employment centers. The Project Area encompasses Maryland Route 5 (MD 5), or Point Lookout Road, between MD 246 (Great Mills Road) and MD 471 (Indian Bridge Road) in Great Mills, St. Mary’s County (the County). The Project has advanced since last year’s application. The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) has advanced design on the roadway improvements and bridge replacement, refined costs estimates, and acquired right-of-way for the Project. The Project was the St. Mary’s County top funding priority in its 2019 transportation priority letter. It will address existing safety, congestion, access, Together, these investments significantly and connectivity issues present in the Project improve mobility and safety in this rural Area by improving road geometry, replacing an community.
