Olympic win for Cal

Seven ‘Caledonia Senior Secondary students.

can now claim to be the best in the province
following their victory in a recent Physics Olym-
pics. competition.

Describing the win as ‘quite an achievement,"
principal Tom Hamakawa pointed out 46
schools from around the province had been
represented at the competition. There was praise
too from teacher Allan Wootton who acconi-
panied the students. Noting the competition had
included a teacher's event, Wootton joked the
victory had come despite his own performance,

The seven student events in the Olympics in-
cluded answering a series of mind-bending ques-
tions, optical target: practice using a laser beam,
identifying the contents of a closed ‘box using
electronic equipment and using a smalt piece of
foil to build a boat capable of carrying the most
weight. ;

At a special assembly to mark their achieve-
ment, the team also showed off the. machines

The first of these was the Newton-mobile, an
elastic band-powered vehicle with the look of a
dragster and the speed to match. Required to
transport an apple in a straight line over a 10
metre course, the time of each entry for the last
five metres was recorded. The Caledonia entry -
was clocked at an impressive 2.08 seconds.

The other was the ‘‘flying machine’ con-

four metres. Cal’s answer was to build a fan-like
contraption in which the ege’s container sat in
the middle of four adjustable wings.

Although team members conceded it didn't £0
“quite according to plan’ during competition,
they emphasized a lot of imagination and hard
work had gone into the project.

City council decided last week to recognize the °
team’s achievements by awarding each member a
certificate of merit,

- Hot food, and hot liquids,
such as tea and coffee are com-
mom causes of burns. Burns
may also be caused by the water
that. comes out of your hot
water tap. In fact, more than
100 children are hospitalized

_ @ath year for burns caused by

hot tap water and two of these
children will die.

Jane,.a playful and curious
two-year-old, was eager for her

_ evening bath. Her father started

to run the water, threw in some
of her favourite toys, then turn-
ed for a second to get a towel
from the cupboard, Jane,
reaching: for her yellow duck,
fell headfirst into the bathtub.
Although ‘she was not in the

’ water more than a few seconds,

that was long enough to cause

‘third degree burns to 50 pér cent

of her body. She did not sur-
vive, :

‘To prevent such an accident
in your home: a
@ Turn down the thermostat on
your hot water heater to 54° or
lower. At this temperature,
third degree burns will occur
only.after 30 seconds, providing
a short safety margiit.

Avoiding burns.

You might ask them to come
and do it for you.

@ Check the temperature of
your hot water as it comes out
of the tap using a candy ther-
mometer to ensure your ther-
mostat is accurate.

@ When filling the bathtub run ~

the cold water first.

@ Always test the water before

putting your child into the tub.

@ Never leave a young child

unattended in the bathroom or

near any hot water.
Remember, children often do

not know the difference bet-

ween hot andcold water faucets
and they are not able to get out
of the way quickly,

Hot liquids and hot foods
also pose a hazard for toddlers.
Inquisitive hands will reach for
anything.

@ Always turn pot handles
away from stove or counter
edges,

@ Do not use tablecloths that
can be pulled.

@ Always place hot items away
from the edge of the table or
counter,

@ Keep kettle cords out of
reach of a toddler.

@ Never hold a child while you
are drinking hot tea or coffee.
@ Never leave a child alone in
the kitchen while food is cook-
ing.

@ Take time to fix meals
without rushing.

If despite care, a child
receives a minor burn, im-
mediately place the affected
area in cold water, then seek
medical aid.
