Tom Cull third in Science Fair,
wants high school fair
Tom Cull, Huron County’s top
elementary school science stu
dent,hasgoneaboutasfarashe
cangoinlocal science competition,
but he doesn’t intend to rest on his
laurels. When he enters Grade
Nine at F. E. Madill Secondary
School in Wingham next Septem
ber, the East Wawanosh Public
School student intends to lobby
both his science teachers and the,
Huron County Board of Education
(HCBE)toextendsciencefairs into
the county’s secondary schools so
that he - and others like him - can
keep on competing right up until
graduation.
“ We’ll try to start something
next year - maybe our own Science
Foundation Chapter,” Tom says.
‘‘Most counties have senior
Science FairCommittee, and by
Dave Medd, a science teacher at
Colborne Central Public School
and delegate to the national
science competition.
The young scientists were pre
sented to HCBE trustees and staff
at the monthly school board
meeting in Clinton on June 1,
where they had a chance to display
their project sand explain them
during a break in the meeting. In
introducing the youngsters, Mr.
Medd said ‘‘As far as being good
ambassadors for Huron County,
these kids were excellent. Their
presence (at the Toronto fair) says
alotfor the education system'in
Huron County, and a lot of our
young people.”
And although lorn Cull and his
fellow-scientists did not actively
lobby for a senior science fair in the
county during their time at the
Board office, their message was
obviously getting through to the
people who make things happen.
When John Jewitt, vice-chair
man of the Board of Education and
trustee for Hullett, McKillop and
Seaforth, brought up the matter of
considering a science fair at the
secondary school level in Huron
County, Arnold Mathers, the
Board’s superintendent of pro
gram, had the answer.
“The Science Fair Committee
meets next week, and this will
certainly be on the agenda,” he
said.
Tom Cull takes the opportunity to explain his science fair project to Art
Clark, chairman of the Huron County Board of Education during a visit
to the Board office on Monday. Tom's exhibit recently won a bronze
medal at the Canada-wide Science Fair in Toronto.
science fairs, and most of the major
competition in Ontario is at the
high school level.”
He should know. He hasjust
returned from the 26th annual
Canada-wide Science Fair in Tor
onto with a bronze medal and a
cheque for $100, his reward for
placing third in the ‘‘Junior
Physical ’ ’ category with his project
on the comparative strengths of
construction woods. It was Tom’s
second trip to the national science
competition.
Lastyear he won aberth at the
Canada-wide competition in Cal
gary, where he won an Honorable
Mention and another cheque for
$100 with his project on the surface
density of woods; and when he was
in Grade Six, he won at the school
and regional levels, which was as
far as a student his age could
advance in competition.
Atthe end of the regional and
county competitions earlier this
Spring, Tom’s project was one of
four chosen from the county to go
on to the national fair at the
Erindale Campus of the University
of Toronto where they competed
with 450 other exhibits, which had
in turn been selected from more
than 50,000 projects entered at the
school level across Canada.
The other Huron County stu
dents chosen to compete in Toronto
were Tammi Medd of Blyth Public
School, Andrew Kennedy from
Seaforth Public School, and Derick
McGee from Zurich Public School.
The students were accompanied on
their week long trip by Kathy
Elliott, chairman of the HCBE
