THE NEW RX 350. REDESIGNED TO YOUR YO SPECIFICATIONS.
Lambrick students’ oil pad cleans up at national science fair Lambrick Park Secondary students Vicki Kleu, 18, and Austin Sawyer, 17, doubled the wins at the 53rd annual Canada Wide Science Fair held last week at the University of Windsor. Their project, a reusable and fully biodegradable oil adsorption pad, won the pair $500 cash prize as one of eight Manning Innovation Achievement Award winners, the Senior Excellence Bronze Medal and their choice of an entrance scholarship to one of two Canadian universities. The team wanted to find an inexpensive alternative to the expensive booms that are currently being used to enclose oil spills. Kleu and Sawyer took it a step further than just containment – they also devised a material that would absorb and retain the spilled oil. They came up with a design that would not only allow the oil to be adsorbed, but would not allow the boom to sink from the weight. The Canada Wide Science Fair drew 463 young scientists in Grades 7-12 to compete for close to $1 million in cash, prizes and scholarships and to showcase bright minds that are innovating for Canada. The Ernest C. Manning Innovation Awards Foundation selects eight winning projects, four of which earn the $4,500 Manning Young Canadian Innovator Awards, and four others earn $500 Manning Innovation Achievement Awards. reporter@saanichnews.com

HCP garden needs help
The Horticulture Centre of the Pacific
hopes a volunteer will overhaul its ornamental grass garden. The garden was created in the early days of HCP but was abandoned for a number of years. The area was redesigned and brought back to life in 1999, but has increased in size and in plant varieties in the years since. Now a small group of dedicated volunteers work in it a few hours a week. That crew is in search of someone to plan and design a work plan for the grass garden to develop an even more spectacular area than it already is. Anyone interested should contact Amanda Price at volunteers@hcp.ca for more information. reporter@ saanichnews.com
