Mr. McEwan is presently teaching En- vironmental Science and Biology. He did his undergraduate study in marine biology at the university of Guelph doing whale, porpoise, seal and seabird research in the Bay of Fundy. Mr. McEwan will be leaving Central Huron on December 19, and will be going to the. University of Western Ontario's .Althouse College, which is a teacher's col- lege. There he will be enrolled in the Physical Education,, Mathematics, Science, Teachers Education Program (PEMSTEP). He admits that he had some reservations about being assigned to Clinton, especially illigince he had never been here in the past. illPhowever, he now says that it has been such a great experience that he would have dislik- ed being sent anywhere else, and he is going to be reluctant to leave. Speaking from a personal point of view, as I have Mr. McEwan for my environmental science class, I have found him to be an ex- cellent teacher, a very nice person and we at CHSS would like to wish him the very best of luck in the future. James Barnes James Barnes taught at CHSS for three years as a supply teacher and is now a full time English teacher. He says he likes it here very much and finds it very interestng and challenging fin- ding things that students are interested in. "The students at CHSS are very pleasant to deal with and relatively conservative, and the academic standards aren't any lower now than they were 10 years ago. The student's are as capable now as•they were then", he stated. Mr. Barnes has just returned from a debating seminar in Ganonoque, near Kingston, with the school's debating club, which he is very much involved in. Later on in the year, he also hopes to become involy- ed.with the cross country ski club. Dave Sheridan. Mr. Sheridan is originally from Brockville, which is in the Thousand Islands area. After high school, he went to Western, with honors in fine art. After that, he went to the International Summer School of Anima- tion at Sheridan College. People come here from all over the world to be taught by peo- ple from Walt Disney Studios, and other film industries, and he says he found it very educational to be taught by such talented people. He has previously worked doing anima- tion for shows such as the Care Bears and the Racoons, he has designed many book covers, and even helped on a rock video for a song called "Can't Stand Still," by the Extras. He is now an art teacher at Central Huron Secondary School and hopes to start produc- ing 16 mm cartoons here in the school. He is very happy here and says he found Clinton very easy to adjust to because he is originally from a small town. He also adds, "I have the best 9f both worlds now, and I am fortunate to have this job." $16,000 scholarships for Huron students Grade 13 students in Huron County will have an opportunity to win the University of Guelph's most prestigious undergraduate awards.

CLINTON 482.7062 F Monday to friday ‘441;(i,� 8:30 am to 4:30 pm A Neglected Furnace Can Be Dangerous. The best way to ensure that your furnace is safe is to have it checked periodically by a registered heating contractor. A quick check can reveal small problems, before they become Targe problems. A blocked chimney or faulty fifrnace can cause serious health problems and even death by allowing carbon monoxide gas to spill into your home. Also, if there isn't sufficient household air for proper furnace combustion, exhaust gases may be prevented from rising up the chimney, and leak back into your home. This can occur when the fireplace, kitchen fan or other air exhausting appliances are operated in a home. If you're a homeowner, it's your responsi- bility to see that your furnace is properly maintained. A safe furnace makes your home a healthier place to be. For more information, contact your natural gas, oil, or propane supplier. Or, phone a registered heating contractor near you.
