The America’s Fun Science Team
Nov 14, 2018 7:30 AM
His nickname is Dr. Fun. Tyronne aims to offer affordable, custom, hands-on science enrichment and STEM programs to schools, nonprofits, librar-ies, and other organizations. America’s Fun Science supports all students in STEM, but especially supports girls. He mentioned that the organization is veteran, minority, and female owned, offering hope for all kids because “We all have at least one talent.” Tyronne is the Director of Marketing and Curriculum Design. Carolyn Williams is the Director of Operations. Ty-ronne started as a science teacher and did not want students to be bound by the clipboard, dull worksheets, and boring facts. What do they do? They make science fun and inspire kids to be more awakened to science and technology. Tyronne used substitute meeting leader John Channnon for a demo of how Bernoullis Law works. Plans to take the program to Cameroon, West Africa in 2020. Go to www.americasfunscience.com for more information. |

Super Bowl Security
Nov 28, 2018 7:30 AM
Commander Gerlacher has been a member of the Minneapolis PD for al-most 30 years and was assigned to lead local security arrangements for the 2018 Super Bowl LII and coordinate security with state, federal and NFL officials. His preparations began three years ago by attending the two previous Super Bowl events and observing their security arrangements. The overall event was classified by the Department of Homeland Security as a Level I National Special Security Event to it’s size, duration, dignitar-ies and several other factors. While the game itself attracted 67,000 spectators and lasted 3 ½ hours, the overall event was over a ten day span, attracted over one million participants and involved several venues. Over 3,000 law enforcement and military personnel were involved includ-ing police from 31 jurisdictions, National Guard, Boarder Patrol and Homeland Security. Six Black Hawk helicopters were deployed and Air Force fighter planes were stationed nearby. An eight mile crash resistant security perimeter with an eight foot fence was established around the main venue and all persons were searched before entry and all vehicles were searched and X-rayed in a 250,000 sq. ft. heated tent.
