| Kids Parade set for Chelsea Community Fair Posted: 25 Aug 2010 07:19 AM PDT The Chelsea Community Fair will kick-off with the kids fair parade on Aug. 24. The parade is for young children ages 3 to 14 with decorated bikes, wagons, etc., to ride and walk from downtown Chelsea to the fairgrounds, where kid games and other activities await their arrival. The parade will form in the municipal lot behind the Common Grill. The route will go down Middle Street to Grant Street, to Pierce Street (past South Meadows School) and onto Taylor Street across Old US-12 and down Chelsea-Manchester Road to the bottom gate of the fairgrounds. The route has been changed to go down Chelsea-Manchester Road in order to clear Old US-12 and to avoid the crowds at the front gate. Judging of decorated bikes, wagons, etc., will begin at 5 p.m., and the parade will begin at 5:30 p.m. The 2009 fair queen and the 2010 candidates will lead the parade. Parents are reminded that for the safety of everyone, they should walk with younger kids in the parade and that no gas powered vehicles or horses are allowed in the kids' part of the parade. The fair book lists complete details about age groups and prizes. Parents with questions can contact Sam Vogel, Kiwanis Key Club advisor at 475-7831. The parade is sponsored and su-pervised by the Chelsea High School Key Club and the Chelsea Kiwanis Club.

Earlier this month the Society announced an 18-month probe into Computing in Schools with the support of 24 other organisations and companies.  Recent exam results have shown computing subjects are failing to grab kids' attention. The call for evidence is open to anyone on any subject, but some guidelines have been suggested. These include asking whether computing is a real discipline in the same way that maths, physics or chemistry are. Other questions include:
