4Tbe Canadian Statesman. BoWmanvilhe, October 5, 1977 Section Two SPLASH Uinve ils Plans By Shawn Marshall The future of the town's first inidoor sports complex was officially unveiled to the public by the SPLASH committee at a fund- raising dinner for the project held here Truesday,,September 20. The, committee's fund-raising chairman, Bob Stevens, told a room filled with project supporters that a target date for the start of construction was set for this coming spring. "I think we can fool everybody who says we can't do it," he told about 90 people who turned out for the event kicking off, the project and held in the Flying Dutchman Motor Inn. An enthusiastic mood among, organizers of the project was touched off by a speech from, Oshawa Generals 'Hockey Club General Manager, Sherwood Bassin. Noting the work done so far by the comnmittee in organizing its initial stages,' M.r. Bassin commended them for the "dedication and community loyalty" that has been invested up to the present. Mr. Bassin urged the organizers to carry on with the endeavour even if it mneant the next generation was the first to benefit from the project. Pep Rally Planned SPLASH will need to draw about $350,OO00 in support from the public to finance the $660,000 project, with the balance of the costs covered by Wintario and Community Centre Grant funds. It will mean a donation of about $40 from 9000 homes in Bowmanville and the surrounding area, Mr. Stevens said. The fund-raising effort will get underway on October il with a pep rally to prepare SPLASH workers, for a door to door canvassing campaign, he said, Orono and Newcastle were ex- cluded from the campaign plans because both villages are caught up in their own efforts to raise support to build arenas, he added. Another aspect of the five part fund-raising scheme, outlined at the dinner meeting, is their enlistment of local service clubs as a source of support. "If they aren't^ good for $100,000, lIl eat my hat,"' Mr. Stevens wagered. Other segments of the program include walkathons, dances, and band concerts sponsored by Bow- manville High School's students and staff. Organizers also plan to mail pledge cards to homes in the outlying districts of the town along with setting up a, number of smaller events running in co-ordination with the fund-raising effort. No Friils Added Floor plans for the complex prepared for the committee by the architectural - firm of. Ogus and Fisher were also uncovered for the first time last night. Preliminary plans for the building provide for a 25 metre long pooî, two squash courts, separate saunas and change rooms for men and women and a meeting room overlooking the pool and recreation areas. The architects' sketch of the building going up on the southwest corner of the high school is similar to its design to complement the already existing structure. Chairman of the building commit- tee, Merrill Brown, said the plans were drawn up to a ',basic no frilîs design" to maintain the cost within the $600"000 mark. 1The six-member committee tour- ed through about il other sports facilities in Ontario over the past 2½/ months to assemble information for the project, he said. still remained the slimmest mathemnatical chance that Jody Scbeckter might snatcb the championship from Lauda, although it's virtually certain the Niki, wilh have put the tithe beyond doubt at Watkins Glen. It would need Scheckter to, win Watkins Glen, The Labatt's Grand Prix of Canada, and Japan without Lauda scoring a single point for Jody to dead-head with the Austrian on points and then take the tithe by virtue of more victories scored. Ferrari reliability bas been fantastic this season, so there is every reason to predict that not only will both Lauda and Reutemann run competitively in Canada, but tbey'll also be there at the finish. They've not alwayst been in the fastest cars, but tbey have always been the most mechanically reliable. That means that there's a good DOSSibilitv Of the Italian Flat-12's winning their first Canadian GP since Ickx's triumph back in 1970. Last year's Labatt's Grand Prix winner James Hunt bas bad a miserable time tbis season, winning only a single Grand Prix (the British, at Silverstone) with the new McClaren M26 whicb super- seded the M23 model earlier this year. But James is a supremnely determined com- petitor and can neyer be discounted, even though bis championsbip chances evap- orated as long ago as the Dutch GrandPrix. He's just as ikely to win the Canadian GP as any of the leading Coswortb-powered compe- titors. Similarly, Jody, Scb'eckter (Wolf) and Mario Andretti (Lotus) bave bad more! than their fair share of misfortune and bad luck- Jody started the season magnificently in Can- adian Walter Wolf's blue and gold challenger, but, recentl 'y be's been hampered by mis- fortune after misfortune. Sim- ilarly Andretti, who's pace at the wheel of the very aero- dynamnic Lotus 78 have left bis rival in the dust on many circuits, lost bissbot at the title for certain witb a spate of major engine failures be- tween the British and Italian Grads Prix. Altbougb bis team mate Gunnar Nilsson tooik a good win the Belgian GP at' Zolder. not even this was enough to secure the con- structors title for Lotus. The reliability and competitive edge of those two strongly driven Ferraris ensured that, the constructors titie went to Maranello 'for the third straight season. Amongst other occasional, challengers for leading posi- tions, although they've -not been consistently contestants for'the lead, bave been the very promising Brabbam-Alfa, Romeos driven by Hans Stuck and John Watson. Following the early season loss of Carlos Place in an air accident, the team pulled tbemselves hack together in fine style but although tbey came close (particularly in France wbere Watson -lost the race -on tbe last lap) they neyer made tbe victory circle. Witb Niki Lauda on the driving strength, tbings could be really good for Brabham next year. Don Nichols' Shadow team had its fair share of tragedy with Tom Pryce's sad death in the South African G.P., but they got everything together again and won the Austrian GP thanks to the tenacious efforts of that popular Austra- hian Alan Jones. In general, though, it must be said that they haven't been a consistent threat, neither bave the Tyr- reli outfit whose six wheelers have proved a virtual dead duck as far as success is concerned. The tigbt Iittle Ligier-Matra team won its first Grand Prix in Sweden this season after a series of gritty performances by the determined Jacques' Laffite, but tbat's tbat as far as winners are concerned. The Grand Prix "Supporting Cast" is made up of March, Surtees, Ensign, Copersucar, ATS-Penske and a host of privateers, but none bas matcbed up to'thedemnanding task of winning a champion- ship qualifying round as of yet. It's a competitive and highly specialized world in Formula One racing. For that reason it will continue to be populated by the most determined and singleminded .individuals, both in the cockpit and behind the scenes, in the motor racing spectruin.

The figures show that Ontario bas 16,805,715 acres of land in farm use, of which 75 per cent-is in the southwest, central, and eastern regions. Another two million acres is 1available for production, a potential increase of 16 per cent. The remaîning 25 per cent of agricultural land in use is in the northern and shield regions. In these areas the reserve is over 17 million Driving Championship, and takes place at Mosport Park on Thanksgiving Weekend, October 7,8, and 9.

Although the use of much of this land is limited by soul and climate conditions,, a significant proportion of it is suitable for forage and grain crops.- The reserve of agricultural land includes small holdings, botb residential and vacant, as well as land that bas not been farmed for moré tban two years. Small holdings are those over 25.99 acres. These are considered large enough to be farmed. Tbe vacant properties included are those over 10.99 acre, Because tbey have no structures on tbem, they are considered a suitable sizefor certain agricultural uses. Figures for individual coun- tries appear on a table accompanying this'release. In releasing the, statistics, Mr. Newman said, "The, assessment data demonstrate that in addition to its largeý acreage in agricultGral use, Ontario also bas a significanit reserve of 2agricultural land available for the future."
