Singer Earns Nashville Star Bronze
The exciting Nashville Star ride for Boone singer
Matt Lindahl ended last Saturday during the final episode
of the USA Network’s second annual televised talent
competition.
 Sunny
Outlook
Solar Sprint participants finally saw the sun Saturday afternoon.
Unfortunately it came out just as their competition was
ending. Cloudy skies forced competitors in the second annual
Bob Flora Solar Car Derby indoors May 1, but that didn’t
dampen the middle school students’ spirits.
 Bill
Moretz — Farmers’ Market Vendor
On a sunny Thursday afternoon in mid-April, Bill
Moretz walked down a steep slope toward the road, leaving
for just awhile the work he’d been doing in a new stand
of apple trees. Moretz had recently increased his orchard’s
size by planting 150 trees — 30 different varieties
of them — and that afternoon he was installing an irrigation
system for the new whips.

Chair Design Project Nets $1,000 Prize
Ethan Rhinehart always wanted to build a wooden

task. Not only did he finish the project before the semester’s
end, he won a $1,000 prize in the department’s first
chair design competition.
