Off to Canada Science Fair
By Stephanie Levesque
Four Huron County elementary school
students will be travelling to Cornwall next
month to compete in the Canada -wide
science fair.
The four students, Kim Medd of Blyth
public school, Heather Campbell of East
Wawanosh public school, Linda Versteeg,
also of East Wawanosh public school. and
Jamie Brand of Stephen Central public
school, had their science projects deemed
worthy to attend the national science fair at
the Huron County science fair on April 13.
There were 55 exhibitors from Grades 7
and 8 across the county. The science
projects were on display at the South Huron
Recreation Centre in Exeter.
Dave Medd, a teacher at East Wawanosh
public school and chairman of the county
science fair committee said high school
students were invited for the first time this
year to compete but there was little
response. Science fairs have been running in
the county for eight years, but only since
1982 have they been county -wide.
The four students going to Canada -wide
will be in Cornwall from May 12 to 19. Mr.
Medd said because this is international year
of the youth, there will be world-wide
competitors at the Cornwall fair.
Medd, a Grade 7 student did a project
entitled "How Fast Can You Go" and the
only other Grade 7 student going Canada -
wide, Miss Campbell, did a project entitled
"Air Pollution".
Versteeg did a project called "Chemical
Waste Disposal" and Jamie did a project
entitled "Does the changeable environment
effect the growth of a chicken". Both are
Grade 8 students.
The Grade 7 biology class winners, as
follows: Heather Campbell, John Greig of
Howick public school, and Arthur Bos of
Myth cohool.
The Grade 7 physical class winners, in
order of merit, are as follows: Kim Medd,
Karen Clugston of Wingham public school
and Christie Thompson of Robertson
Memorial public school in Goderich.
The Grade if biology class winners, m
order of merit, are as follows: Linda
Versteeg, Jamie Brand, and Chad Miller of
Stephen Central public school.
The ,Grade 8 physical class winners, in
order of merit., are as follows: Brad Cross of
Howick public school, Daryl Hemmingway

Goodbye River Road?

Bayfield, also known as River Road, is still

road's condition at the April 15 village coun-
cil meeting.
The road, which leads to Lake Huron and
about a dozen Bayfield residences, started
collapsing at about 6 a.m. on April 5. Since
that time it has dropped about four feet.
The Roads Departtnent has dumped
gravel on the sinking portion and the road
was opened, allowing fuel oil trucks to make
deliveries and access for other vehicles. Mr.
Johnston said the gravel was heaped up to
clearly signify only one lane is open for use.
The reeve asked members of council
whether they felt a study is necessary to
determine the cause of the drop. The
Ministry of Transportation and Com-
munication (MTC) has informed the reeve
they will fund the study 50 per cent.
"We have to engage a firm. No one can
give us a solid answer on why the road col-
lapsed," said Councilor Jim Quick. He
moved council receive estimates from ap-
propriate engineering firms to study the
road's sinking and remedies. Other coun-
cillors agreed a study is needed.
Council also asked the Ausable Bayfield
Conservation Authority that the village be
considered in the authority's budget for an
erosion study at the bottom of the sinking
bank.

families were addressed including employ-
ment standards, affirmative 'action, equal
pay, child care, health care and extra bill-
ing, abortion, midwifery, income support
for single mothers, pensions, family law,
charter of rights statute audit and transition
houses.

Women Today has a membership of over
120 women and men. "We speak for many,
but of course, we do not claim to speak for
all women in Huron county. What we are do-
ing by holding this event is creating the op-
portunity for all women to have the forum to
be informed and make an informed decision
when they vote May 2," Ms. McLeod
said."We welcome men to come to this
event, since the issues that affect the.equali-
ty of women are often family issues and
issues that also affect men." "Some of the
issues that concern us, as an organization,
are policies and legislation that affect the
attainment of equality for women: - in tha
workplace, - in the home, - in the communi- .
ty."
