When Adams, 14, had the opportunity to do a service project to work toward earning his Eagle Scout rank, he decided to use his time completing a project that was both useful to his community and benefited the local environment. After one of his relatives did a similar project, Science Olympiad finishes eighth place in nation at tournament Submitted by New Trier New Trier Science Olympiad competed at the National Tournament at Cornell University on June 1 and finished in eighth place out of 60 teams from across the country. This was New Trier’s best placement since 2012. Coaches are Daniel Caldwell, Shayda Crosby, Kimberly Dwan, David Haak, Antony Harper, Alex Howe, Harold Slav and Don Wurth. Highlights • Asher Noel won first place in astronomy, second place in circuit lab, and third place in thermodynamics • Edward Seol won third place in protein modeling • Emilia McDougal won first place in dynamic planet • Eric Liu won third place in protein modeling • Grace Yu won third place in thermodynamics • Irene Xu won first place Adams chose to build owl nesting boxes. After consulting with Ojai Raptor Center in Ojai, Calif., Adams decided to build the homes specifically for the Barn Owl. The Barn Owl has a distinct white heartshaped face with a white belly and cinnamon and gray-colored feathers on its back. “I thought it would be perfect because the population of the Barn Owls is declining in the Midwest because of urbanization,” Adams said. “These boxes can take the first step to help to get them back on in astronomy • Isabelle Hester won fifth place in fossils • Jason Yuan won second place in circuit lab • Jibriel Saqibuddin won second place in boomilever • Jonathan Yuan won second place in boomilever • Karthik Srinivasan won third place in designer genes • Louis Scheinfeld won ninth place in code busters • Penelope Tir won first place in dynamic planet • Pranav Doradla won third place in designer Genes and third place in protein modeling • Yetong Li won fifth place in fossils New Trier also participated in two trial events. Luke Von Kapff and Elizabeth Feoktistov competed in detector building and finished in ninth place, and Michael Chen and Maryanne Xu competed in environmental chemistry and finished in fifth place. their feet, repopulate and rebalance the environment after the effects of urbanization.” Barn owls are indigenous to all of north and central America, yet populations in northern Illinois have been declining. According to the Barn Owl Box Company, a company that provides boxes that serve as homes for these birds, Barn Owl population have decreased in Northern Illinois not because of climate but due to lack of appropriate habitat. Like their name suggests Barn Owls preferred habitat is barns, of which there are few in sprawling suburbia. Adams, who is a Wilmette Life Scout in Kenilworth Troop 13, recognized this issue and in response built 10 Barn Owl nesting homes. These nesting homes are located at the Wilmette Golf Course and Canal Shores. The decision to put these nesting boxes at golf courses has a practical purpose of removing rodents for the golf courses. “Barn Owls main pray is rodents, like mice and shrews,” Adams said. Additionally, these boxes also serve to limit the use of harsh rodenticides and could improve the local environment. “These nesting boxes hopefully will be able to attract owls to the area and the golf course can then limit their use of rodenticides. Rodenticides are very harmful to the environment and the chemicals in them can work their way up the food chain and really be detrimental,” Adams said. The process to plan, create and install these nesting houses took seven months and brings Adams one step closer to earning his rank. Adams also hopes the nesting boxes, which are located 15- feet high in trees on the golf courses, will raise awareness for owls and the effects environmental changes had on their population. “The earth is potentially in a crisis right now and I was just taking a small step to help out nature and raise awareness about the environmental problems we are creating,” Adams said. “But we can all help, as a community, to fix the problems we created and take steps towards creating a better environment and a better world.” New Trier Science Olympiad finished eighth at last month’s National Tournament at Cornell University.
