Exeter-Milligan School News: Physics and Applied Science Class
The Physics and Applied Science classes participated in an
egg car challenge at the end of this last semester. Each
student had to design a car using only 3 sheets of paper
and the provided wheels and axels. They needed to design
their cars for speed and durability. On the first day we
raced the cars to see who's car was the fastest. On the
second day we placed and raw egg into the cars and we
crashed them into a wall. Most of the eggs survived the
crash but a few were scrambled.

Exeter Cub Scout, Pack 218
On November 18th we went to the Night at the Museum at Morrill Hall in Lincoln.
We had fun doing many activities. First we dug for a fossil in plaster, then we learned about the telegraph and decoded codes. Then we made a pet rock and collected many kinds of rocks. After that we went downstairs to make masks as well as see many different spiders.
We also got to go to the gift shop and we went on a scavenger hunt looking for certain items throughout the museum.

Water, Water, Everywhere!!!
This is the south end of the block where water continues to run and rush down the gutters to this storm sewer.
Tom Ekeler of Erdkamp Ekeler Construction has had a busy day fixing this hydrant with John Mueller, Village Maintenance Supervisor.
Fortunately temps have been warmer in Exeter starting this week because a person in a semi-truck and trailer turned right downtown in Exeter and sheared off a fire hydrant and reported drove off. Crews have been working non-stop since this incident to get the hydrant replaced. Most of the east side of the downtown block was without water for the day and the water department was looking to shut off the west side of downtown. The water continues to run down the street which should make things interesting in the morning as it freezes.
