High school students present research findings from BGSU science program
BOWLING GREEN — After six weeks of conducting scientific research at Bowling Green State University, high school students in blazers and dresses stood proudly in front of poster boards to present their results at the college. Nine rising juniors and seniors from six area high schools presented the results of those projects, which they conducted as part of BGSU’s Parents Involvement with Children Nurturing Intellectual Curiosity in Science program, or PICNICS, which is meant to expose seven to 10 high students a year to research in chemical sciences. Students from Perrysburg, Ottawa Hills, Eastwood, Sylvania Southview, Fremont Ross, and Bowling Green high schools stood side by side this week as visitors walked from student to student, explaining to them the topic of their research, how they conducted their research, the results they found, and what they learned. Urvi Viamajala, 16, a rising junior at Southview, explained to passersby the process of creating hexagonal benzene, which creates graphene nanoribbons that are used in creating electronics.

Anthony Wayne High School to be exclusive polling location for Whitehouse voters
The Lucas County Board of Elections decided at its monthly meeting Tuesday that Anthony Wayne High School will be the exclusive polling location for voters in Whitehouse. Population growth and high voter turnout prompted the change, said Tim Monaco, deputy director of the Board of Elections.
