S-C teacher hopes to engineer interest in robotics with SCREAM Sydney Brink/Democrat Eleventh-grader Henry Yantz, a member of SCREAM, (Smith-Cotton Robotics, Engineering, and Mathematics), the school's robotics club, carries the club's robot to a work table in October at the Show-Me BEST, (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) BUGS! compe- tition at State Fair Community College. By Bob Satnan Michael Wright has done the re- search: U.S. companies are looking all over the world to fill engineering positions because of a shortage of skilled American workers. Wright is trying to change that by cultivating interest in robotics and turning it into opportunity for Sedalia students and manufacturers. Wright, engineering teacher at Smith-Cotton High School, is adviser for S-C’s Robotics Club, a fledgling venture that is growing in interest and number. His goal is to give students an educational experience, allowing them to take what they have learned in engineering, math and science courses and bring it to life with ro- bots. The club started with a devoted core group, but with fall sports now over, more students have after-school time available and the club’s mem- bership has quadrupled, Wright said. Still, Wright and the club members want to develop general interest in ro- botics among S-C’s student body, then spread it to other schools in the district. Wright said club members have fun spending time with peers who have like interests, “and you get to build cool stuff.” The original core, including junior Henry Yantz, 15, and sophomores Nick Wagenknect, 16, and Mark Gar- buzov, 15, among others, competed in the Show-Me BEST Robotics Com- petition earlier this year at State Fair Community College. BEST (Boost- ing Engineering Science and Technol- ogy) is a nonprofit organization that promotes those career paths nation- wide; the competition was open to middle-and high-school age students. It took six weeks for Team SCREAM (Smith-Cotton Robotics, Engineering And Mechanics) to build its robot for the competition, but when show time arrived, they encountered problems getting their creation to operate as planned. Mark said a wire came loose, but since the robot was already in the competition zone, they couldn’t touch it. “All competition, we were asking ourselves, ‘Why won’t it work?’ and we were trying to figure out how to get it into the scoring area,” Henry said. But the day was not without suc- cesses. Team SCREAM won the Founders Award for most creative de- sign. Nick said the competition helped them “get a foot in the door,” and he enjoyed “a day of being ourselves, having fun.” Henry said the competition was a thrill. “The first time I was operating the robot during competition, my hands were shaking,” he said. Nick said his interest in “building fun things” drew him to the club. “Since I was 5 years old, I have loved building robots with my dad,” he said. Mark hopes to build knowledge and skills that will help him as he pre- pares for his professional life; he plans on majoring in engineering in college, and he said he likes the de- sign process most. Henry was looking for an after- school activity: “I saw it, and I am a logical person, so getting involved with robotics made sense to me.” Wright said there had been at- tempts in the past to launch a robotics club at S-C, but he does not know why it didn’t catch on. Still, his mind- set was “see a need, fill a need.” He went to the World Robotics Championships and talked to partici- pants and experts. While his engineer- ing training provides him with a lot of background knowledge in what his students are working on, “This is a first for all of us.” But Wright is not alone in his quest. Barbara Todd, the Sedalia dis- trict’s gifted program teacher, tried to launch a club at the middle school earlier this year. “It was awfully difficult and in- volved for middle schoolers,” Todd said, via email. “We tried as hard as we could; (we) worked about six hours to eight hours a week outside of school and actually got the robot built. It moved all directions and turned. However, it needed an arm that reached out and grabbed and we never could get that to happen. So, we did not compete in the competition.” Building support for the Robotics Club inside and outside the district is the students’ current focus — along with building a 12-turret T-shirt can- non robot. They are preparing a pres- entation they will give to local manufacturers in an effort to win sup- port and sponsorships. This is where the club’s diversity comes into play. Senior Gage Harden, 17, is a newer member of the club; since the football season is over, he now has time to participate. Gage has public speaking skills from serving as presi- dent of the school’s DECA chapter, so he is leading the presentation team. Another one of the newcomers is senior Lauren Azan, 17; she was a standout member of the girls’ golf team in the fall. She is considering an engineering career, but also is excited about being part of the first robotics team at S-C. “We have a chance to be part of a new tradition, to show younger stu- dents what they can work their way toward,” Lauren said. As for generat- ing interest among other students, she said, “If I saw a cool T-shirt cannon, I know I would be excited.” Wright said the club is breaking into four separate design teams — drive train and chassis, pneumatics, turret and electronics — “Then they will collaborate, and make it all work.” Wright said the project will in- volve a lot of troubleshooting and problem solving, and the students are inspired to see how they can use their engineering studies. “This is giving them the full gamut of experience,” including mar- keting, teamwork and budgeting, he said. Todd is keeping an eye on Wright’s efforts. “I think that in order to make this a successful ongoing program, Mr. Wright is greatly needed,” she wrote. “He has the knowledge and resources to get this program the support it needs. I would love to see robotics clubs at both the junior high and mid- dle school.” Wright sees great potential in the club, as it could serve as an incubator to grow more local engineering talent for area manufacturers. “The scope of it is huge,” he said. “We are ready to work hand-in-hand with mentors. We would love to have engineers in the area come in to work with the students.”

Muzzleloader, antlerless seasonsoffer ample chances to bag deerI get as excited about the November por-
tion of the firearms deer season as everyoneelse does.
And why shouldn’t I? It takes place duringthe rut, a time when whitetail bucks would beat their most vulnerable even if they weren’tbeing rousted out of their beds with frustrat-ing regularity by bumbling hunters.
Better yet, the November portion is thefirst time of the year I can take my honest-to-goodness assault rifle — a modifiedWorldWar I-era SpringfieldA3/03— off the gunrack and sally forth in pursuit of the samedeer that spent the first part of the archeryseason laughing at me.
But is this the best time for deer hunterswho rely on public land to apply for time offfrom work? Not necessarily.
Far more often than not, it’s tough to finda likely looking spot to greet the sunrise ofopening day on public land that won’t have tobe shared with several other hunters.
Being forced to share a limited resource(only about 5 percent of rural Missouri ispublic property) doesn’t make having a suc-cessful hunt impossible. Tens of thousands ofdeer — including some awe-inspiring trophybucks — are killed on public land during theNovember portion of the season.
The total firearms deer harvest is roughlyhalf the number of hunters afield on openingday. Since an unquantified number of thosedeer represent multiple tags filled by individ-ual hunters, the mathematical odds you’ll beone of the fortunate few public land deerhunters during the November portion are notgood.
Fortunately, the November portion is notthe end all and be all of firearms deer huntingin the Show-Me State. There are two far moreviable options.
The antlerless-only portion (Nov. 23-Dec.4) is a golden opportunity to enjoy deer hunt-ing sans the crowds on public land.
Note that antlerless deer hunting is notlegal on all Missouri Department of Conser-vation properties. The “2011 Fall Deer andTurkey” brochure includes a complete list ofall MDC-owned or managed hunting land byregion and area name.A simple check markcode indicates which seasons are open andwhat methods are allowed on each unit.
One reason why the November portion’shordes have dwindled to a smattering by
opening day of the antlerless portion is thatmany hunters assume that most public landdeer have either been killed or driven off.
The MDC’s deer biologists and area man-agers are good at what they do. If these menand women believe that a given area’s deerherd can sustain antlerless deer hunting, itcan.
There are still a few people around whowould rather stay home than settle for a doe.I’ve never been able to understand how tryingto outwit the warier, albeit far more numer-ous, whitetail gender could be beneath thedignity of any hunter. I know that the peoplewho benefit from the Share the Harvest pro-gram are cheering for anyone who keepshunting after filling his or her own freezer.
If the antlerless portion is golden, then themuzzleloader portion (Dec. 17-27) is plat-inum. These nine days are tailor-made foranyone who wants to be downright lonely onpublic land while being able to use a firearmto hunt any deer, including trophy bucks.
Getting a muzzleloader ready to fire ismore complicated than shoving cartridgesinto the magazine of a modern firearm. Inlineignition systems, pre-measured powder pel-lets and bullets with built-in sabots have madeloading and reloading in the field practical foranyone with even a modicum of interest inlearning something new.
I’ve concentrated on hunting public land,because it’s such a viable option, but theantlerless and muzzleloader portions of theseason can open doors onto private land aswell.
Many Missouri landowners either thinkthey have or really do have too many deer ontheir property, but they feel committed to lim-iting access to their land to friends and rela-tives during the November portion of the sea-son. Some of these landowners will grantaccess to their property to polite, responsiblestrangers during the later portions of the sea-son.

Safe Ways To Set UpYour Home
(NAPS)—Heeding a few hints from the experts at the Electrical SafetyFoundation International can help you have a beautiful home for the holi-days and a safer and happier new year:
• If you are purchasing new decorations, shop only at reputable retailersthat you trust.
•Make sure your decorations have been approved for safe use by anationally recognized testing laboratory.
•Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions that accompany yourdecorations.
•Carefully inspect each electrical decoration and extension cord beforeuse; discard any damaged items.Cracked sockets, bare or frayedwires, and loose connections maycause a serious shock or fire.
•Never connect more thanthree strands of incandescentlights together to make a longerstring.
•Consider getting LED lights,which use less power and burncooler than traditional incandes-cents, allowing you to safely con-nect more sets.
•Avoid overloading electricaloutlets, which can overheat andstart a fire.
•Don’t pinch cords in win-dows or doorways or underheavy furniture.
•Keep cords out of walkways and high-traffic areas.• If you get a live Christmas tree, check it for freshness. A fresh tree will
stay green longer and is less of a fire hazard than a dry tree.•Heated rooms dry out even fresh trees quickly. Be sure to keep the
stand filled with water.•For artificial trees, look for a “fire-resistant” label.•Put the tree at least three feet away from all heat sources, including fire-
places and space heaters.•Decorate your tree with non-combustible or flame-resistant materials.•Avoid using candles when possible. Consider using battery-operated
candles in place of traditional candles.•When decorating outside, make sure all decorations and extension
cords are marked for outdoor use.•Always use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)-protected outlet
outdoors.•Exercise extreme caution when decorating near overhead power lines.
Use a wooden or fiberglass ladder instead of metal. Keep yourself and yourequipment at least 10 feet from power lines.
•Outdoor extension cords and lights should be kept clear of standingwater and snow.
•Remember to turn off and unplug all decorations before leaving homeor turning in for the night.
•Learn more at http://holidaysafety.org or (703) 841-3229.
Contact your advertising representative if you would like to haveyour business featured in this space.
For safety’s sake, keep decorations, giftsand other combustibles at least threefeet from heat sources or open flames.

Q: I really like "Grimm" onNBC. Can you tell me about the ac-tress who plays the beautiful blondReaper? -- David S., via e-mailA: Claire Coffee plays Reaper as-
sassin Adalind Schade (who also hap-pens to be a lawyer). Claire, 31, alsois on TNT's "Franklin and Bash,"playing Mark-Paul Gosselaar's ex andJames Van Der Beek's current girl-friend. Claire and I joked about howshe is living the fantasy of every girlwho grew up watching James andMark-Paul in the '90s, including her-self: "It's too bad I didn't get a joblike this when I first came to town --or maybe it's good thing, because Iprobably would have lost my mind."She's thrilled about her role on"Grimm," telling me: "I really wantedthis one, because I've never gotten toplay any sort of supernatural charac-ter before. I've never played an evilwitch who has fight scenes and killspeople. I got to put some new specialskills on the resume through thisjob."
***Q: When is my favorite show,
"Southland," coming back toTNT? -- Johnny C. in New Hamp-shireA: You don't have to wait much
longer for the season four premiereon Jan. 17. This season will featurereturning stars Michael Cudlitz,Shawn Hatosy, Regina King and BenMcKenzie, and will guest-star LucyLiu. This season will also reuniteRegina King with her "227" co-starMarla Gibbs, who guest-stars as afamily member of a suspect that De-tective Lydia Adams (Regina) is in-vestigating for murder.
***Q: Now that Eddie Murphy is no
longer hosting the Oscars, do youthink he'll host the Golden Globes?-- Peggy G., via e-mailA: That gig has gone to actor/co-
median/writer/producer Ricky Ger-vais, who's hosted the previous twoGolden Globes ceremonies. Most ofyou know I wholeheartedly approve
of this choice, as do many of the Hol-lywood royalty that Ricky teases.Liam Neeson has voiced his approvalof Ricky, saying: "Hollywood needs ashake-up. He'll be great." RobertDeNiro showered Ricky with praiseafter last year's controversial telecast,telling Ricky he'd be happy to setanyone straight who was offended.Johnny Depp guest-stars on Ricky'snew TV show, "Life's Too Short,"poking fun of himself and Ricky in ahilarious sketch (Google it and seefor yourself). The Golden GlobesAwards telecast airs live Sunday, Jan.15, on NBC.
***Q: How is Demi Moore doing?
Will she divorce Ashton Kutcherfor his alleged infidelity? -- ReneeR., Clearwater, Fla.A: Demi recently announced her
decision to file for divorce from Ash-ton, stating: "It is with great sadnessand a heavy heart that I have decidedto end my six-year marriage to Ash-ton. As a woman, a mother and a wifethere are certain values and vows thatI hold sacred, and it is in this spiritthat I have chosen to move forwardwith my life."

• On Dec. 10, 1901, the first Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, on thefifth anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel. Although Nobel offered no public rea-son for his creation of the prizes, it is believed that he did so out of moral regret overthe lethal uses of his invention of dynamite and other explosives.
• On Dec. 11, 1936, after ruling for less than one year, Edward VIII becomes the firstEnglish monarch to voluntarily abdicate the throne. The British government, publicand the Church of England condemned his decision to marry American divorcee Wal-lis Warfield Simpson. Edward claimed it was impossible to discharge his duties with-out the woman he loved.
• On Dec. 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo-bombers take off from the Ft.Lauderdale Naval Air Station in Florida on a three-hour training flight.

The story helped cementthe legend of the Bermuda Triangle, an area of the Atlantic Ocean where ships and air-craft are said to disappear without a trace.
• On Dec. 8, 1969, at a news conference, President Richard Nixon says that the Viet-nam War is coming to an end. His pronouncements proved premature. In April 1970,he expanded the war by ordering attacks on communist sanctuaries in Cambodia.
