Orono Weekly Trîmes, Wednesday, April 11, 1990-11 Over 400 students from the kindergarten to senior high school level dîsplayed their science projects at the third annual Northumberland and Newcastle Regional Science Fair held at Bowmanville Senior Public School on Saturday, 7 April. The four top projects at the Fair will then head on to the Canada- wide fair to bc held later in the spr- ing. Last year, three students fromn the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education captured top medals at the Canada-wide fair. One of them, Andrew Hately, then a student at Bowmanville Senior Public School, earned a gold medal for his projcect, "Is It Too Cold to Snow?"- Jim Harvey, Chairperson of the Fair Committee, feels the event helps students develop independent study skills and self-confidence. "It gives them a chance to develop and research areas that they are reaily interested in xithout the pressure of an exam."- What kind of tomato wiil grow from a seed exposed to the harsh environment of outer space? Students, at Howard Jordan Public School in Port Hope will find out this spring as they piar- ticipate in a NASA sponsored ex- periment, pianting space seeds along with normal earth-based --s, and watching for any dif- aces in the plants caused by long-term exposure to cosmic radia- tion. For nearly six years, about 12 million tomato seeds travelled through space and were subjected to cosmic radiation, temperature extremes, weightlessness and the vacuum of space. The Port Hope students wiil be looking for possible mutations to the plant such, as changes in fruit size and colour, growth rate, and leaf, stem and stalk shapes and sizes.

It is expected and reprinted with permission. Fîghting pollution is flot simply a matter of putting out One less gar- bage bag; it means an across-the- board change in attitude. We have become a wastefui socie- ty and our ever-growing garbage woes are the result of our spend- thrift lifestyle. We need to return to our gradparents' pr actise of reus-, ing instead of throwing away. The 3 R's have taken on a whole new meaning these days - reduce, reuse and recycle. Each week a tip will appear in our- paper, showing you how you cau help save our earth. This wýeek's tip: Replace disposable diapers with the cloth variety or use a diaper ser- vice. Canadiani babies each add 6,500 diapers to our garbage sites. Much of the content will leach into soil and possibly water tables. Many baby stores now carry supplies of. new "form it" cioth diapers, coin- plete with Velcro fasteners. Don't be surprîsed by the price. A dozen of the new type can cost $70.00, but an expenditure of $200 for diapers and covers will last for many years and successive children. It's a Matter of Survival!
