Over 200 projects were entered in the fair. There were more projects entered than last year from more schools. Students came from Cour- tice to Brighton, from Campbellford to Cobourg, and from many points in between. between. The quality of the projects was excellent. Awards were presented in the afternoon to 70 different different projects in 20 categories. Award winners received cash prizes which were donated by local industries industries and organizations. Every student at the fair received received a participation certificate certificate and a Science Fail- button. The projects were judged in the morning by 80 judges who had been recruited from the community. The judges included engineers, scientists, health professionals, professionals, teachers and other people with interest or expertise expertise in the area of science science and computers. The judges had the difficult task of choosing winners from the many excellent projects. projects. Many judges made favourable comments about the effort and enthusiasm of the students, the organization organization of the fair itself, and said that they had enjoyed the experience. The students at the fair also enjoyed themselves. Those who were in Kinder garten to Grade 5 were supervised in a Science Activity Activity room set up in the cafeteria while they waited their turn to be judged. They had the opportunity to work with a variety of scientific scientific apparatus, such as microscopes, magnets and motors, and to participate in number of different activities. activities. The senior students waited with their projects and had the opportunity to meet students from other schools. Many of the students have also entered their projects in the Peterborough Regional Regional Science Fair that was held Saturday, April 11 at Trent University. Senior winners from that fair will go on to the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Mississauga. Mississauga.

It amounts to a fairly hefty contribution, since the Sportsmen's shows generate generate more than $1 million in revenue each year. "We've got a wide, wide variety of applications for funding," Operations Vice- President John Houghton said during an address to the Bowmanville Rotary Club last week. In fact, he said 20 per cent of the applications usually receive funding, according to the desirablilily and feasibility of the proposed research. Proceeds from the shows arc intended to be used in three areas: projects, education education and wildlife preservation. preservation. For projects, the organization organization looks at activities like learning to sail or boating boating safety techniques. Mr. Houghton described the eligible projects as "any act that has a start and a finish to it." In the education area, he said Canadian National Sportsmen's Shows fund films and materials on conservation conservation and the wildlife. He referred to one pamphlet pamphlet on acid rain which he hopes will increase Canadian Canadian awareness of the problem. problem. He noted that a lake containing containing ac(d rain has a greenish-blue color and "looks very beautiful when you first look at it. Except nothing in that lake lives." He said it has created a serious problem resulting in the loss of fish and the very real threat to outdrinking outdrinking water. In the preservation area, he said funding has sometimes sometimes been used by the Sportsmen's show organization organization to buy land which needs to be.eonserved. Generally, Mr. Houghton said the mandate of the organization organization is "to raise and to preserve and protect" the wildlife enjoyed by the outdoor outdoor sportsman. In addition to the 15 sportsmen's shows run across the country, the organization organization also runs boat shows and ski shows and has acquired publication rights for "Outdoor Canada Magazine." As well, they publish a trade journal called "Marine Trades" and a magazine called "Western Sportsman" for the Prairie fisherman. Mr. Houghton confessed that the organization has seen some unusual occurrences occurrences during its 40 year history. history. For example, there was one incident where the doors were left open at a boat show, and the ensuing cold temperatures caused the sprinkler systems to freeze and break. Within minutes, there was two inches of water on the floor. "And you had people doing the highland fling, unintentionally," Mr. Houghton said.
