We log over 6,000 miles in the air each year. Without ever leaving Long Island. Most of us don’t have to think about how electricity gets to our homes or businesses, because at LIPA, that’s what we think and care about 24/7. That’s why you see LIPA line crews out in the field every day testing and strengthening power lines, trimming trees and inspecting every mile of our 6,000 miles of transmission lines. So on the hottest summer day or coldest winter night, we can deliver the power you need. Depend on us. Today. And tomorrow. Report outages and receive real-time updates anytime, anywhere from any mobile device capable of text messaging, or by phone or online.

Copper-Aluminum Single Replacement Reaction.” Anooshqa Bazmi‘s project, entitled “The Effect of Mercury Absorption on Plant Growth and Development,” garnered third place. Over $5,000 in cash and gift certificates was raised through sponsorship and will be apportioned amongst the extended list of prize winners. Table after table lined with tri-fold posters laden with advanced scientific jargon, charts and analytic graphs revealed the depth of the student work. The panel of nearly 65 judges assigned to evaluate these projects came from within the ranks of the school district, local accredited colleges and universities, science-related industries and the Village of Freeport. The fair brings research skills into practical use and challenges students to resolve questions quickly, accurately and efficiently. The presentation of their work to the public teaches them the importance of communication in science.

FIRST PRIZE RESEARCH: Freeport High School Science and Engineering Fair first-prize winner student Elizabeth Mulé explains her research to Freeport Schools Superintendent Dr. Kishore Kuncham as her mother, school board Vice- President Debra Mulé, listens in.
The research on display at Freeport High School’s eighth annual Science and Engineering Fair seemed more in line with what you’d expect to find at an Ivy League science hall than in a high school gym. The more than 70 individual research projects spanning 15 categories were clearly the result of intense work by the Freeport students, who spoke at length about their research and findings on topics ranging from astronomy to zoology when quizzed by the judges. “We hope the experience in the fair encourages them to pursue careers in science, engineering and mathematics,” stated District Science Coordinator Dr. Vincent Pereira. Elizabeth Mulé won first prize with her research project “Is Cholecalciferol Capable of Lowering Physiological Levels of Mercury?” She will be spending the summer at Brookhaven National Laboratory continuing her research. Second prize went to the team of Wilsa Albert and Lauren Workman for their project “The Kinetic Study of
