Anything possible at school science fairs
BRUCEFIELD - A video tele-
phone was only one of about 125
projects on display in the Huron
Centennial School auditorium last
Wednesday. Students in grades
four to eight had a chance to dem-
onstrate their ingenuity and under-
standing of the scientific method
in a myriad of ways.
The video telephone was the
- creation of Jeff and Jeremy Steck-
k. Brothers front RR 1 Bayfield,
they created a two way system
through which they could not only
make calls and talk to each other
on a telephone, but could see each
other speaking on a small televi-
sion screen. The project needed
two video cameras, two televi-
sions, two telephones and a
switching board on loan from the
Thckersmith Telephone Compa-
ny.
The telephone earned the broth-
ers an honourable mention in the
level 3,4 model project category.
Winners in the grade five class
included Krista Mustard (first),
Tim Cantelon and Andrew Mount
(joint project second), Chad De -
Gout (second), and Kim Dewys
and Laura Jackson won third.
In the grade six competition
Grade eight student of Huron Centennial School Jeremy Steckle, and his grade five broth-
er Jeff (on television -screen), built a working model of their glimpse of the future, a video
telephone. The exhibit was on display at the school's science fair last week.
Paul Cooper won first, Laurie
Collins and Michel Tindall both
won seconds, and Nikki Hills and
Julie Bachert won thirds.
In the grade seven and eight cat-
egory first place awards were giv-
en to five projects: Charlene
Townshend, Andrea McGrath and
Cara Spittal, Erin Melblaaghton,
Carly Price, and Jill 411111nochan
and Tracy Martin.
Second place awards went to
Alichia Crete, Leanne LeBeau,
and the project of Heather Bier -
ling and Linda Snider.
Third place standings were
awarded to Vicki Carter and Kelly
Meriun's project, Susan
McLaughlin and Jackie Fisher,
and to Robin Martin and Dana
Rowan.
The first place finishers in the
grade 7-8 class will be going to
display their project along with all
others from the county at the Hu-
ron County Science Fair at the
Brussels Community Centre on
Tuesday April 7.
Students in grades seven to
OAC high school level in any
school in Huron County operated
by the public or separate boards
are eligible to send their budding
young scientists to the fair.
An open house will be held at
the fair from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and

"What emergency equipment do
you have in your home?" Catherine
Junker introduced Jim Hoffman as
the guest speaker. In an interesting
and .knowledgeable fashion, he
mad the group awareof the urgent
necessity to be more alert to the
rules of safety and the more com-
mon emergencies. He stressed safe-
ty in the home and what to do in
emergency situations. Remember to
keep a live battery in that smoke
detector!
Hoffman demonstrated, in simple
terms. what to do when someone is
choking, in shock, unconscious,
breathing with difficulty, bleeding,
heart broken bones, or swal-
lowed poison. As an ambulance
driver, he has encountered the
above experiences many times and
had many real-life stories to tell.
Junker thanked him and presented
him with a little gift in appreciation
for having left a hockey game early
to speak to the W.I. group.
