FUEL Continued from page 1A weren't being charged the total amount for the fuel MARS Continued from page 1A A group of seven eighth-graders are continuing their research on mud volcanoes on Mars while the 16 seventh graders are taking a look at seasonal changes on Mars. "We're working to find the sea- sonal changes on Mars and compar- ing them to Earth," said seventh- grader Jenny Darlington. While the seasonal changes around the polar ice caps on Mars have been studied a little, their group is looking at other areas, fel- low seventh-grader Dominic Azzini said. "It's interesting because no one's really done one like this," Darling- ton said. "It's not something that's as well known." In the meantime, the group which just started its research this school year, is helping a group of high school students in Sydney, Australia get up and running with a project of their own. "We're nervous because we want to do good, but we're still in training ourselves," Azzini said. The group is working on its research proposal, which it will pre- sent to the Australian students for feedback, and hopes that its project will be chosen to be presented at the NASA Ames Center in San Francis- co, Azzini said. About 1:30 p.m. Friday, which was 8:30 a.m. for the Australian counterparts, both eighth and sev- enth grade groups got to ask ques- tions of Walters.

Officers informed all local law enforcement to be looking for a white 1999 Freightliner, a red 2007 Freightliner with "BDS Trucking" on the doors and in mud volcanoes that have dried up. Walter said students could expect a very diverse group of organisms and that it was possible to exist in drier conditions, referring to a recent discovery of a place on Earth that was dry for 80 years and had found life returning after water was reintroduced. Students asked about fossilized remains and Walters said even with- out remains, there could still be organic compounds that would tell students about what had been there. A seventh grade student asked if a meteorite found on Earth, suppos- edly coming from Mars, might have fossilized remains of ancient bacte- ria. The meteorite, found in Antarcti- ca, was determined after being stud- ied to not contain fossilized remains and the chemical found was of a non-biological origin, Walter said. Walter seemed impressed by a question from Daniel Adams regarding a feature called a "dark streak" found on Mars that is sup- posedly evidence of frozen salt water, melted below the surface that leaves a dark streak. Adams asked if the streaks, which appeared to get longer and shorter with seasons, might be areas that could harbor living organisms. Walter said the streaks are some- thing only discovered a few years ago. "It's something we're still explor- ing," Walter said. "It might be a sign of an earthquake, but we don't real- ly know why it happens." Students said they enjoyed the chance to talk with Walters and learned a lot from it. "It's a really cool experience," said eighth-grader Christina Zumalt. "Not many people have this oppor- sawed-off shotgun between the driver and passenger seats.

Most people don't know even a quarter of what we know about Mars or are trained to work with pictures of Mars." Eighth-grader Emmie Lindsay said she likes that the program allows her to learn more about a dif- ferent planet. "Not every school has the fund- ing or programs available," Lindsay said. The students use iPads, bought with money donated by the Red Bluff Vesper Lodge, to do the research, Mitchell said. The school does fundraising on its own and is in the middle of a penny drive, he said. "What we've been able to do in the last seven years with this tech- nology and community support is amazing," Mitchell said. "We have 35 images that have been taken in support of NASA research. When they give us a camera, it bumps a scientist. It's pretty awesome that they allow that to happen for kids." If the group's proposals are accepted, NASA astronauts in the International Space Station will pho- tograph their chosen site, he said. "It really is incredible how they have gone from knowing almost nothing about Mars in the beginning to being able to look at an image of Mars and interpret it," Mitchell said. "Very few adults have that ability." Donations to the program are welcome and can be dropped off or mailed to the school, 19500 Learn- ing Way, Cottonwood, 96022.
