Three Seaforth contestants will advance to
the county wide Science Fair. They include

Safe Are the Products in your Home?" Jason
Wheatley with his project on the Robot Arm,
and Vicki Tremeer with her Hydroponics
project.
There are two categories at each grade
level and there is first, second and third in
each of the categories. The winners are as

SPS goes off to the sugar bush
BY JEFF ROBINSON One of the other things they found out was
Last Monday the Kindergarten to grade 3's the Indians first made maple syrup and used
from S.P.S. went on exciting journey to the it as a sweetener.
Maple Keys Sugar Bush.
The children'studied which were just the
right trees for making maple syrup.
The children learned where to hang the
pails on the spiles on the trees and that if you
tap the tree too much the tree will die because
it hasn't got sap to nourish itself.
Also they found that the sap begins to flow
in March when the days are warm (about 8°C)
and the nights are cold.
Different methods of making syrup were on
display. The Indians used a hollow log and
stored the sap in that. Then they put hot rocks
in to evaporate the water.
Pioneers used large kettles to boil sap. In
modern days the boiling method is an
evaporator unit with sap and syrup pans that
gently slope. When the sap is 65% sugar, it is
maple syrup.

Katimavik
completes duties
at Public School
BY RHONDA SMITH & DONNY BROWN
The Katimavik crew has really helped SPS
these last three months.
They have been assisting in the gymna-
sium, running off photo copies, sorting things
out, working with grades kindergarten -eight
with reading, Math kit production and many
other big jobs.
This Katimavik group consists of four
people, working here at SPS. For them it will
be the end of the nine month organization.
Now -here's a • follow ups>,csr='what the
Katimavik group is planning to do *lien they
leave our area.
Gilles Menard is planning to Visit Toronto,
Niagara Falls and Quebec City to see some
friends. Then he will return to his home, St.
Jerome, Quebec. Gilles is planning to work at
a bicycle shop. Later on he will take a bicycle
trip out west, possibly with a friend.
Sylvie Langlois plans to return to her home
town Chamb y, Quebec for a month to get
ready for her month and a half long trip
through out Europe. In September she is
going to go back to college and major in Social
Science.
Bruce Homan, 18, plans to work for the
summer. He'll go back to school for a year,
then to University to study dentistry. He lives
in Hanover.
Jean Sinclair plans to go back to B.C. in
August and finish her uniyersity education.
She 'also plans to get a part time job. Her
university is for being a Canadian history
major. Then she plans to work for the police
force.

eight Physical, first went to Tara Cluff and
Cathy Haur both of Huron Centennial, with
their project on Vitamin C. Second went tQ
Tammy Lester with her project on Absorben-
cy. Third place went to Jody Murray and
Mike Strickland of Clinton Public School with
their project on'Lubrlcation and Lubricants.
In grade eight Biological, first place went
to Lori Bromley of Hulled with her project on
Glutens in flour. Second went to Vicki
Tremeer of Seaforth with her project on
Hydroponics, and third went to Kerri
Sheperd of Hullett with her project on Milk.
All of the above mentioned exhibits will
continue on and go to Turnberry for the
county wide fair. All of the projects were very
good and attractive, but only three projects
were able to go on in each category.
I wish\all of 'the winners at the Eastern Fair
good luck at the county level and a special
good luck to the three Seaforth winners. A
good job was done by the grade six students
who can go no further than the regional
Science Fair.
Jason Wheatley's project on the robot arm
was a very well put together project. After
finding out that he had placed third I talked
with him about his project. I asked him if he
was going.to make any changes to his project.
He said that he might get a few heavier
springs to put on the Robot Arm. Otherwise,
he might just leave it alone. He said he hoped
to do well, in ,further Science Fairs and is
happy with the outcome of hip project.
Deciding on college is hard
(Continued from page B8)
However, I imagine that 1,11 still be going to
Lambton College in the fall.
So between now and then life will go on
pretty much as normal. I'll have to read up
on some good recipes to add to my menu of
Kraft Dinner and canned pastas. I guess
there's a lot of good habits I'll have to pick
up on real soon. Scrounging around at yard
sales and auction sales could be a good idea
for any students planning to live in an
apartment. Then I can always count on the
rest on good old mom and dad.
LIFE FLIES BY
It's funny how fast life seems to fly. It
seems like only yesterday that I was sitting
in Mrs. Boussey's Kindergarten class at
SPS. Back then my biggest concerns were
learning to tie my shoes, spell my name and
say the alphabet. Through the years 1
acquired the skills necessary to print, read,
write and do basic arithmetic.
Graduating out of SPS 1 was soon into
SDHS with only a short summer between.
All of my school years have been good ones
despite the statement that was constantly
finding its way out of my mouth: "I hate
school". Not true. If I did dislike school I
wouldn't have survived 14 years there and
then prepare to go for at least two more
years of education.
Things have been pretty tense at SDHS
lately as some students still have not
received word yet that they have been
accepted. It seems that those who have been
known fpr years of liking school least are
more worried than anyone about getting into
a post -secondary school. Strange isn't it? I
guess that just goes to prove how important
and valuable an education is,
If you know of anyone celebrating their
birthday soon please send their name, age
and birthday to The Huron Expositor, Box
69, Seaforth or phone 527-0240.
