Sometimes one small spark can ignite a larger flame. This happened when Matthew Gilbert, a tenth grader at Greely High School in Cumberland Maine, recieved a holiday gift of Stephen Kress' book Project Puffin: T he Improbable Quest to Bring a Beloved Seabird Back to Egg Rock. This book inspired him to attend camp at Hog Island's Coastal Maine Bird Studies last summer, where he had the opportunity to land on the famed Eastern Egg Rock, the birthplace of puffin restoration. When presented with the National History Day theme: Breaking Barriers in History, Matthew knew he wanted to make a documentary on Project Puffin and Steve's groundbreaking work. In doing his research, Matthew was surprised by the global implications of Project Puffin on other seabird conservation projects. Matthew's National History Day documentary was a convergence of his interests in ornithology, conservation and history. We are proud to announce that Matthew's documentary has been awarded 2nd place for the state of Maine and he also recieved the Maine Bicentennial Award. Congratulations Matthew for these well deserved awards! We all wish you the very best of luck in the upcoming national competition. Matthew is already a winner in our books and we trust he will go on to do great things in the future.

Secondly, one must assess the condition of the rocking chair before attempting any home improvement. Many older rocking chairs can be in a state of disrepair, with worn-out rockers, loose joints, or broken parts. In such cases, it is essential to assess the feasibility of restoration. Refurbishing a rocking chair can be a rewarding project, but it requires time, effort, and woodworking skills. It is advisable to consult professionals or refer to online tutorials to ensure proper restoration and avoid any potential hazards. Furthermore, one must consider the ergonomics and comfort factors when refurbishing a rocking chair. The comfort level of a rocking chair depends on elements such as the seat height, backrest angle, and cushioning. It is crucial to strike a balance between aesthetics and comfort to create an ideal seating experience. Adding foam padding or replacing the seat cushion can significantly enhance the comfort of a rocking chair. Additionally, one must ensure that the rocking motion is smooth and safe by addressing any stability issues. In conclusion, home improvement involving a rocking chair can bring about a significant transformation in the look and feel of a living space. The type of rocking chair selected should be in harmony with the overall theme of the home. Proper assessment of the condition and feasibility of restoration is crucial before embarking on any improvement project. Taking into account the ergonomics and comfort factors will result in an enjoyable and functional rocking chair. With the right approach, a rocking chair can become a cherished home improvement item that brings joy and relaxation to its users..
