10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 23, 1977 Section Two Molson's to Sponsor Four Major Interntional Races ut Molson's Brewery (Ontario) Limited announced last week the sponsorship of four inter- national calibre motor racing events at Park. These events are: 1. The Molson Diamond Indy-July 3rd 1977--a 300 kilometre event for USAC Indianapolis-type cars, part of the United States Auto Club Championship series. 2. The Molson Diamond Motocross Grand /Prix of Canada-July 24th, 1977--a World Championship 125 c.c Motocross event. 3. The Molson Diamond Can-Am Weekend-August 20th and 21st, 1977--weekend pro- gram to include the return of the Can-Am series, plus a Trans-Am Championship event and a round in the World Championship for Makes. 4. The Molson Diamond Motorcycle Grand Prix of Canada-September 18th, 1977-- a World Championship 750 c.c. Motorcycle Grand Prix road race., Spokesman, Greg Me- Knight Advertising Manager said: "We have been inter- ested in participating in big league motorsport for some time, but were aware of the limited number of locations in Ontario where such events were feasible. Thus when the opportunity arose to help create new racing events and bring a higher level of motorsport to Ontario, we were most receptive. We feel that this venture will be of mutual benefit both to ourselves and to racing fans; for us, these races will give Moison's a highly visible summer promotion in our major market areas, comple- menting our hockey season marketing activities; racing fans will have the opportunity to see four exciting racing spectacles featuring the very best North American and international competitors. We are also extremely pleased to be working with Mosport Park, whose manage- ment we have always held in high regard for its profes- sional competence. While this entry into big league motorsport is new to us in this, Molson's Ontario division, we have had the benefit of watching our sister Quebec division sponsor this type of activity very success- fully for a number of years: The Molson Grand Prix of Three Rivers, the Grandna- tional Molson drag race at Sanair and the Molson 500 c.c. Motocross Grand Prix at St. Gabriel de Brandon come immediately to mind. Molson's Ontario has also been active in recent years in supporting motorsport activ- ities at the regional and provincial level. The two most notable examples are the Molson Ontario Motocross Championship and the Mol- son-Autosport Rally series. Our agreement with Mos- port calls for a minimuil of three years of sponsorship for three of these events. We look forward to those three years with much anticipation and confidence. We are certain that these events will take their place among Ontario's top sporting attractions. Prizes and awards for the four Molson Diamond motor- sport events at Mosport will exceed $250,000 in 1977. Commenting on this unpre- cedented expansion in motor- sport sponsorship, Mosport President Harvey Hudes said, "Never before has a Canadian company demonstrated such confidence in motorsport as to take on sponsorship of such magnitude in both two and four wheeled sport."

Together with Mol- son's we're proud to be able to offer the fan the very best in motorsport entertainment on a par with that available anywhere in the world." Bob Hanna, Executive Director of the Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs said, "The CASC has always repre- sented European style road racing and the Molson-Mos- port involvement in coming years not only sees this type of racing brought to the forefront but it also brings forth the most significant form of North American car racing, USAC Indianapolis type cars, and places them on one of the most demanding road racing courses in the world. It is only by bringing international competition to Canada that we will one day see Canadian drivers in the top categories of the sport." The Toronto announcement was also a signal event for two wheeled racing. Marilynn Bastedo, General Manager of the Canadian Motorcycle Association added, "We're delighted to be involved with Molson's and Mosport to bring two world championship Grand Prix events to Canada. Molson's has been involved in motocross racing at the grass roots for four years and the Molgon Diamond Motocross Grand Prix of Canada is a logical development of this involvement." "While Mosport has already been the site of a Motocross Grand Prix, the real achieve- ment will be the studying of Canada's first road raeing motorcycle Grand Prix since 1967. The 750 c.c. class machines and riders are the ultimate in motorcycle road racing and Canada has never before seen such a spectacle." Resources Caution The recent mild weather has caused rapid decay of ice. Regardless of appearance, we strongly recommend that you do not travel on any ice surface. Spring Floods as a Planning Tool Each year the Ministry receives complaints concern- ing water problems, usually flooding or erosion, which could have been prevented by better site design or sub- division layout. Surprisingly, people seem to overlook the simple fact that water runs downhill, with the unhappy result that flooded basements, damage to property, expen- sive rennovations, and even hazards to life occur. One local problem involved houses built into a hillside in such a way that drainage down the slope was directed into the lower level two car garage, and then into the basement of the house. This could have been prevented by a house and lot design more in keeping with the natural slope of the land. Another comnion problem is caused by filling-in low-lying areas. For example, many people seem to think that a wide channel with only a trickle of a stream is wasted land that can be re-claimed by placing of fill. This is some- times illegal and often ignores the natural conditions that created the valley in the first place. The "trickle" usually increases dramatically during the spring thaw, which should alert the prospective builder to a potential problem. How- ever, even the spring high water level is not necessarily the maximum limit of flooding over say, a fifty year period, and this level should be determined by an engineer before considering any devel- opment in a stream valley. The safest, and most pleasant community design is to leave stream valleys and their associated slopes as open space areas-for parks, golf courses, agriculture, and similar uses which do not require buildings. Today the most serious fioodlands, have been indenti- fied in hazardland mapping and incorporated into munici- pal official plans and zoning bylaws. In some areas Conser- vation Authorities have under- taken more detailed floodline mapping and the levels of the lakes on the Trent Canal are regulated for navigation pur- poses, by the Federal Govern- ment. These factors are con- sidered by the Ministry of Housing in the course of approving major develop- ments such as subdivisions. However, many potential problems remain which can only be uncovered by the discretion of the builder, and good judgement of the buyer. This is especially true of small private developments which tend to avoid technical plan- ning to reduce costs. Fish Huts to be off Lake Scugog by March 31st. The ice on Lake Scugog is still fairly thick; as much as two feet in places, but fishermen with fish huts on the ice are advised to remove them before the March 31 deadline as the warm weather and slush on the ice could freeze them into the ice, making them very difficult to remove. The Women's Institute met in the C.E. Hall on March 14th it 8 p.m. Meeting opened with the singing of 'the Ode' and repeating the Lord's Prayer in unison. The Roll Call'Bring an article of your own handicraft to show,' brought out a variety of knitted, crocheted, em- broidered and woven articles as well as ceramics. Two resolutions from the Kendal and Nestleton Branches were read. Also a letter from our adopted child. Mention was made of the 4-H girls Achievement Day at Bowmanville ligh School on April 16th when the present Sroject 'The Cereal Shelf' will given. There will be a Food Forum, 'More about Nutrition and Family Meals' at Maple Grove on March 31st at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. S. Morton reported for the 'Good Neighbours.' Mrs. G. Greenham reported on the Board Meeting held at Mrs. R. Fraser's when plans for our District Annual at Hampton on May 1oth were formulated and passed on to members. Mrs. Wm Polak, convenor of Agriculture and Canadian Industries was in charge of the following program. Mrs. E. Burke commented on the Motto, Be proud of the fruit of your labour.' She said for example an outdoor market where every kind of produce is shown. The people behind this produce who till the soil, plant and weed and harvest are all proud of the fruit of their labour. Every home of 'our older citizens show a lifetime of collections of various kinds such as nick-nacks, crochet, dishes etc. Man works to provide a home for his family and a woman works in the nome to provide food etc. and all are proud of the fruits of their labour. The topic on Canadian Industries gave the history of our own local 'Vanstone Mill.' Mrs. Wm Polak told of the early mill at the west end of town build over 125 years ago. In 1886 this was purchased by J.C. Vanstone and converted from grindstones to rollers in 1896 for the world market. The dam was later enlarged to provide more power. Byron and his brother Morley later purchased the mill from their father F.C. Vanstone who had purchased it in 1902. At the present time Byron Vanstone is the owner since his brother Morley died. The early Mill served the MAPLE GROVE first settlers of this district. In 1939 flour was produced and shipped to feed our troups and civilians. Then after the war a hungry world was in need of flour and this was shipped to Ceylon, England, Ireland and Russia, etc. Now the mill produces feeds for farm animals and pets as well as their flour for domestic use. So the good old days are still here, down by the old mill stream. Mrs. E. Burke as- sisted Mrs. Wm. Polak in giving the history of our local Canadian Industry. Meeting closed with the repeating of the Collect in unison. A social half hour was enjoyed when Mrs. Polak's group served fruit cobblers and crisps with whipped cream, tea and coffee. 1st Maple Grove Cub News The winners on Wednesday, March 16th at Liberty Bowl were as follows: lane eight, Tim Van Leeuwen 195 points, lane nine, Billy Walmsley 183 points, lane ten, Kyle Smart 215 points, lane eleven, Doug- las Bakker 222 points, lane twelve, Scott Zealand 248 points.
