St. Mary's No. 2 4 O Carlsberg Horses Come to Town People driving through Bowmanville around 6:00 p.m. Friday must have looked twice when they saw the traffic stopped to let a wagon and eight draft horses rumble around the corner of King and Temperance Streets. But time hadn't gone sud- denly backwards. The Carîs- berg horses and wagon were on hand for the Kinsmen parade last Friday and to help ick off this year's Kinsmen carnival. Driving the Carlsberg team is a littie like driving atractor trailer truck with,eight steer- ing wheels. Because of the eight horses and the wagon, the Carlsberg vehicle is al- most as long as a tractor trailer. And with one set of lines on each of the horses, you have eight steering wheels. Doug Kostyk, manager of the Carlsberg team and wagon display that was in Bowman- ville Friday afternoon also said that turning corners can be difficult. Basically, the horses at the front have to travel further than the ones at the rear. So part of the job of getting eight belgian draft horses and a wagon around the street corners of Bowmanville or any of the other Canadian cities and towns where they have been on parade, depends on a good pair of lead horses, For the team that was in Bowmanville last weekend, one of the lead horses was a 14 year old named "grandpa"; one of the Carlsberg drivers said grandpa is the smartest horse on the team. Mr. Kostyk said the teams haven't been stuck on a corner yet -- a good thing, when you consider how difficult it would be to back up an eight horse hitch. Ferris Wheels Besides corners, banners, flags and ferris wheels can pose problems too. Usually good natured, the horses have occasionally bolted at such things as banners and flags hung along parade routes. Ferris wheels can also fright- en them, Mr. Kotyk said. And once, during a parade in Ottawa, the lead horses balked on a bridge because they could see water under- neath, through the expansion joints. Not wanting to take chances, Mr. Kostyk said the horses were led across. The Carlsberg team that was in the Kinsmen parade Friday afternoon was one of two teams. The brewery has 16 horses on the road in two eight horse hitches. In addi- tion to the teams, Mr. Kostyk said there is usually a mare The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 23. 1976 Historic Honda Racer Pts. 8 8 6 6 6 6 6 6 4 4 2 0 0 0 and foal taken along when special displays are set up. Mr. Kostyk said the team he is managing is slated for a three and one half month tour of Western Canada that began last Monday. On the road, life is not very difficult for the horses. They travel from place to place in special trucks that are literal- ly stables on wheels. Accord- ing to Mr. Kostyk, they live better than a human does. The horses are brushed and groomed daily. "They eat before we do," Mr. Kostyk added. There are six men who travel with the horses, chauf- fering them across Canada and getting them ready for parades and displays. When the horses aren't on the road, they're kept on a farm north of Toronto, near Schomberg. Counting mares, f9als, two teams andspares, there' are about 60 horses. Check-U-p U nderwaykÀ Arenas in Orono, Newcastle and Bowmanville are being checked out this week by engineers hired by the Town of Newcastle. Engineers with the firm Leighton and Kidd are doing the job. They began their work Monday morning, but accord- ing to recreation director, Bud Fanning, it isn't known yet how long it will take to finish the inspection. Mr. Fanning added that he didn't see any problems with the Bowmanville arena pass- ing the inspection but since he isn't an engineer, he said he couldn't be sure about the arenas in Newcastle and Orono. At a council meeting Mon- day afternoon, when the question of arena inspection was raised, Newcastle Coun- cillor Ivan Hobbs said "We are not aware of any pro- blems." He added that the arenas had been checked before. The arena inspections are requested by the provincial government in order to check structural safety. Such things as the ability of the buildings to withstand ice and snow on the roof and to hold up in high winds are included in the reports. In order to remain in use, the arenas must pass the engineering inspections. Be- sides the three in Newcastle, another eight or nine arenas in the Durham region are also being investigated. Mon Dies in After Race Collision at Mosoort Park OPP in Newcastle are still investigating an accident at Mosport on Sunday in which the passenger of a Jaguar sports car (above) was killed in a head on collision with a station wagon. The Northcutt Elliott Funeral Home removed the body of 28-year-old Christopher Mudge from East York who was killed instantly in the crash. The driver, Ian Johnson was a mechanic for a Formula 100 racing driver at Mosport. The accident involved spectators of the Formula 5000 race who went on to the track after the race had finished. The Jaguartaken to Orono Towingwas completely demolished. Four people driving in this 1965 Beaumont station wagon suffered only minor injuries in an accident following Sunday's races at Mosport. Track officials are conducting an investigation to see if the cause of the accident was from the practice of spectators driving on the track after the race. The Beaumont, now at Eastman's Gulf in Newcastle, <collided with the Jaguar head-on alongu Mario Andretti straight close to the fifth turn on the track. --Photo by Rick James a Comeback Maàking The whooping shriek of a 10-year-old six cylinder Honda racing motorcycle will echo around Mosport on June 26th. The historie 250 c.c. Honda six will run demonstration laps as part of the Labatt's Motorcycle Grand Prix. The legendary racer, ac- knowledged as one of the1 greatest in history, has been on display for many years at the Ontario Science Centre. All of Honda's racers were withdrawn from competition in 1967, àfter winnng world championships in all five classes from 50 c.c. to 500 c.c. The 250 captured the world title five times. Long-time race rider Tom Faulds has been tapped to ride the Honda. Faulds is National Service Manager at Canadian Honda Motor Limited. "I'm no Hailwood, but we'll try to give the crowd a bit of a thrill," Faulds says. World Champion Mike Hailwood used the 250 to set the absolute motorcycle record at Mosport in 1967. The record stood for almost a decade until it was broken recently by a modern 750 c.c. machine. The bike was brought from its display at the Science Centre to Canadian Honda several weeks ago. "We gave it a minor service and took it out to see if we could get a sign of life from the engine," Faulds said. "It fired first bump and screamed like a banshee. It brought people out of their offices for blocks around." The six tiny cylinders have fourhvalves each and the valves are no bigger than a finger. There's room only for tiny custom-made spark plugs. The transmission has eight speeds to keep the engine close toits 14,000 r.p.m red-line. enThe bike is very high-gear- ed and it'l staîl below 6,000 r.p.m._That means it'l be Outieâ-,ts To conform to revised Canadian electrical stand- ards, trailer electrical outlets at 25 Ontario Provincial Park campgrounds will be convert- ed to a new style this year, Minister of Natural Resources Leo Bernier announced today. "We are planning to make the changeover as painless as possible for trailer owners who still have the old style. Parks will loan out converter plugs to campers on request," said Mr. Bernier. The new pfug-outlet config- uration conforms to Ontario Hydro Electrical Safety Rule No. 72-110; ANSI configur- ation C73-13-1966, for 30-amp outlets. There is no change in 15-amp. outlets. Electrical outlets at Ipper- wash and Craigleith are an older type without 30-amp. circuits and therefore will not be affected by the conversion. The changeover is expected to be completed by Junec15, 1976, prior to the heavy July-August use of provincial parks.

The 250 has been called by connoisseurs the finest of the histomy-making Honda road racers. There were probably no more than eight or nine built. This machine came to the Science Centre untouched by Hçrnda after its last race; dirt and dust from the track were allowed to stay on the, bike. For its demonstration ride, a thorough cleaning and new paint to original patterns are planned. Tape recorders as well as cameras are suggestedfor the historic demonstration.
