TOP WINNERS PICKED AT REGIONAL SCIENCE FAIR

Ernst Kastning III of Radford High School and Jamie Turner of Patrick Henry High and the Governor's School were the grand award winners Saturday at the Western Virginia Regional Science Fair at Hollins College.

The judges - 74 college professors and 35 other people - picked projects done by Kastning and Turner from among 97 projects sent in by students from 11 school districts. The two will compete at the International Science Engineer Fair in Tulsa, Okla., May 5-12.

Kastning's project examined the effect of limestone composition on cave formation. Turner's entry showed the most stimulating aspects of educational computer games.

The two alternates for the Tulsa competition are Chris Wright of Patrick Henry High and Clayton Hodges from Franklin County High.

The Alfred D. Blease Memorial Award and a $100 prize for most creative project went to Thurman Pendelton of William Fleming High for his project on external combustion as a source of power.
