6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. March 31. 1976 St. Marys Cement Juveniles Wipe Out Streetsville Horwood Composer Writes Special Pine Ridge Number To Present to Band The Clarke High School Band and Choir of Newcastle, will be playing host to the Band of Ridgewood High School, Norridge, Illinois, on April 1, 2 and 3 Norridge is a suburb of Chicago, and the RHS Band is under the direction of Dr. Glenn Morten- sen. High school bands often have "exchanges" when they pay each other week-end visits, and stay in one an- other's homes. The Clarke Concert Band and Choir went to Norridge last November, and all the young musicians are excited about renewing their acquaintances in the security of their own hospital- ity. The CHS visit to Chicago included plenty of sight-see- ing, a visit to the Music Department of Northwestern University, splendid social events, a day at the midway "Old Chicago" and presenta- tion of a public concert. The Clarke students have spent many hours helping their Social Committee head, Laura McKnight, to put together as interesting a schedule for the Coronation RESTAURANT MONDAY -TH URSDA' 6 a.m. - 12 p.m. FRIDAY& SATURDAY 6 a.m. - 1 a.m. SUNDAY 7 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. Serving Delicious Chinese Food Ta ke-Out Orders A Specialty Free Delivery in Bowmanville on All Orders of $6.00 or More Full Course Meals in a Home-Like Atmosphere. 9 King St. W. 623-5412 Wnners in Iast week's MINI BIN GO MON.-FRI. 5 TIMES PER DAY 9:20-10:20-11:20a.m.-1:20-2:20p.m. on i(LB 1) Dorothy Domanski, Oshawa $27.00 2) Mrs. Kaye Mcintyre, Oshawa $94.00 3) Mrs. Marie Bourdages, Oshawa $94.50 4) Mrs. Mary Allison, Oshawa $121.00 5) Mrs. Marie Kelly, Whitby $27.00 YOU MAY WIN* $13.50 Every Game $67.50 Every Day upto $337.50 Every Week On Saturday night at Darlington Sports Centre, the St. Marys Cement Juveniles defeated Streetsville 3-2 to wrap up their series three games to one. They will now meet Essex, starting this weekend here. This photo shows the winning goal on Saturday, scored by Brian Martin at far leéft in the picture, with Neil Ryan (12) and Jim Hutton (4) assisting. Americans. It will include a visit to Parkwood in Oshawa, a tour of a local modern farm owned by Mr. Ralph Downes, a flight over the area in light aircraft, the Toronto Science Centre, and Casa Loma. Of course, the CHS students will be along on all of this, and even many of them will be experiencing these activities for the first time. It is expected that the Norridge Band will be the featured "stars" at a free public concert (collection!) Friday evening, April 2, that will be followed by a dance for those attending the concert. Music for the dance will be shared by stage bands from the two schools. The latest term for a dance band is "stage band". Composer Frank Haworth Probably one of the most significant activities at the concert will be the presenta- tion f0 the Ridgewood Band of a piece known as "Pine Ridge" that the CHS group has had specially written for the occasion by Mr. Frank Haworth, of Harwood. Mr. Haworth was trained in com- position in England, and served the British Govern- ment as a musician for many years in the West Indies and Bermuda before coming to Canada in 1956 to work for the Globeand Mail as a criti cand for the CBC as a composer, as well as for free-lance work. Mrs. Haworth became an academic instructor at the National Ballet School, in Toronto, and set up their programme of studies for young dancers in residence. It seems Mr. Haworth had all his meals at his, desk during the two days it took to compose "Pine Ridge", according to Mrs. Haworth, anîd it is commendable that he should come out of retirement to befriend the CHS students. Mr. Haworth is known as a "traditionalist without being old-fashioned" and has com- posed a lyrical, yet rhythmic and polyphonie work that certainly makes anyone think of a sunny day on the Pine Ridge. It is modern without being cacophonic, and was tailored especially to the abilities of high school mus- icians. It should be a fine souvenir for the Americans to carry home for their parents and friends fo enjoy. William Scoffeld, CHS Band and Choir Director, is exfremely pleased tha his Wîtn only a minute and 22 seconds remaining in the game, Tom Nowlan (16) ran into problems when he and the Streetsville goalie found themselves in the net. The goalie didn't like it much and neither did another of the visiting players who took on Nowlan until an official separated them. Nowlan picked up a double minor after the incident. Z nlest Canad ian Race To P'dass- Through Toewn-u From CNE tOI by Shawn Marshall Probably one of the wildest races in the history of Canada wil leave the CNE grounds in Toronto on June 19 and eight days and 320 miles later arrive at Man and His World in Montreal. Along the way the 'unusual' contestants of the 'Great Canadian Race' (GCR) will stop overnight in various towns and cities in Ontario including Bowmanville. If you doubt that the entries are really 'far out' ask yourself if you would bounce a tennis bail to Montreal, fly a hand glider behind aàboat into the Expo grounds or even suggest teaming up withan earth worm for the eight day Journey. Two representatives from the GCR Corporation, Havoc Franklin and Victor Rodri- quez were in Bowmanville recently to meet with vanlous service clubs and interested groups to explain some as- pects of the race to them. The tiny group that gather- ed in a downstairs room of the public library was told that the purpose of the race was to create harmony and good-will within the province. But besides that, contest- ants in the race "will have proven to themselves, as well as others, that they're not so incredibly out-of-shape after alI, raised a lot of money for some very worthwhile causes charges have commissioned a new work for young bands by a local composer, and admires the strategy that will auto- matically carry it beyond the locality. The Principal of CHS, E.G. Witherspoon, is unduly proud of the whole business! and had themselves a great deal of fun and amusement," a report states. Anybody can enter in the wide range of categories that include ecology, comfort, in- genuity, whimsy, hoodwinking and antique. Those categories have been further divided into théthree classes of non-motor- ized, motorized and a separate division for people travelling by bicycle, canoe, on foot and in hot air balloons. Damian Lee, a skier from Toronto who once travelled on professional ski circuits, thought up the idea of a Great Canadian Race and incorpor- ated if. Profits for the corpor- ation will come though the selling of television rights to CTV and CBS, Mr. Havoc said. The corporation will also make money by selling such items as the GCR tee-shirt. The four chanities involved, which include the Canadian Red Cross, Muscular Dystro- phy, Canadian Save the Child- ren Funçi and the Olympic Trust will each receive 25 per cent of the total collected from the $10 entry fee. Those racing on land will travel along highway two with those in the air and water travelling in an est abished route as well, so that at the end of the day they can all meet in one area. They will stop six nights in Ontario and once in the Dorion-Vaudreuil area in Que- bec before they head for the finish line on the last morning of the race. On the first night they will stop in the Bowmanville area followed by Cobourg, Belle- ville, Kingston, Brockville and Cornwall. On the morning that the m pics race leaves Bowmanville a parade will be held along the route that wiil eventually lead them into the Man and His World grounds in Montreal. GCR organizers said they hope that Bowmanville will take the event as a chance to hold community dinners, pic- nics, musical events and to use the day in whatever way will bring people out to support the event. For those who have the strength, nerve or imagina- tion to enter the race, the opportunity is open to them when it starts from Toronto on June 19. Another meeting with any interested Bowmanville group or individuals will be held in the Library basement on April 5th at 7:30, Mr. Havoc said. For those who are content to sit back and be a spectator for the event, it should be intenesting f0 wafch all the kooks ride, walk, run, drive, paddle and fly ouf of town on the Sunday morning that fhey leave Bowmanville.
