Hu l Iy Gully ATV season
opener a success
The Victoria Holiday weekend began Hully
Gully's ATV racing season. Riders from as far
away as Minden, Ontario participated at
Hufly Gully on Sunday for some wild racing
action.
The track was prepared to be hard and fast
for the three wheelers that raced there, and
toward the end of the day, the, clay surface
was leaned off and squealing tires and
burning rubber were the order of the day as
the open class flashed through the shortened
motocross course at Hully Gully.
Particularly good showings came from
Mooretown racers Bart Baker and Chad
Sutherland in the Novice 200 class, with Steve
Stewart from Minden winning both Senior
Open and Senior 250 classes, local favorite,
Chuck Collins of Varna finished second in
both Senior 250 and Senior Open classes.
One of the highlights of the day was a
celebrity race during intermission. CKGL
Kitchener's Mark Burley, CKNX' Wing -
ham's Dave Brown and BX -93's Matt Bradley
from London squared off on three wheelers to
see who the best rider was from the country
radio static) s of the area.
Holly G Uy offers three wheel riders a
place to r e every Saturday during their
regular H se League program as well as
special such as Sunday's season
opener. The highlight of the season will be an
ATV Supercross race at the Delaware
Speedway on Aug. 11.

and ready for the ATV season opener the
following day.
All week prior to the race, the track was
being prepared for the ATV races, and for the
next CMA motocross on June 3, as well as for
the 125 and 250 ExpertNationals on June 17.
Tracie irrigation was being buried to provide
underground watering for the track for the
upcoming events, but this didn't slow down
the action on Saturday. The next House

26.

Students planted trees
for bicentennial year
Ontario's Bicentennial and Education
Week was celebrated by the students and
teachers of Stephen Central School with the
planting of three Eastern White Pine Trees. 1
had 'the pleasure of participating in the tree
planting ceremony even though 1 have some
serious reservations about Ontario's Bi-
centennial being celebrated in this particular
year. As a matter of fact there is a great deal
of controversy over the Government's choice
of 1984 as the year in which to celebrate
Ontario's Bicentennial.
The Government's recently published
Bicentennial material includes an article
entitled "Looking Back". The purpose of the
paper was toanswer the question: Why was
1874 chosen as our start point?"
The Province of Ontario became a distinct
political and geographical entity in 1791 when
the British Parliament divided the Old
Prbvince of ()uebec into Upper and Lower
Canada. There were well organized settle-
ments of native people long before 1784 with
the earliest French settlement dating back to
1639. The Province of Ontario as we know it
was not created until 1867. However, The
Government chose 1784 as Ontario's begin-
ning. The only significance about this year is
that 1984 was the year in which thousands of
families who were loyal to the Crown came
from the United States and bought land.
The Provincial Government has allocated
SI.5 million for this celebration which will
come from the taxpayer's pocket.
However, if it takes a celebration of this
kind to replenish Ontario's stock of Eastern
White Pine, then most people 1 am sure
would be only too pleased to participate. As
you no doubt know the Eastern White Pine
was declared the Province's official tree with
legislation that was passed early in this
session of the Legislature. The Eastern White
Pine has played a major role in Ontario's
economic, social and cultural development.
Early settlers used it extensively for shelter,
furniture, tools and toys.
Export of White Pine Timber from Ontario
was a major source of income during the
Province's first 50 years. Since then it has
continued to be a preferred forest product but
unfortunately. the trees were togged heavily
by the lumber companies and very little
attempt was made to replant them.
The Eastern White Pine grows naturally in
those parts of Ontario where over 95°7o of the
Province's population lives. In 1980 the
Ontario Tree Council was established to
recommend an official tree for Ontario.
Members of the Council represented more
than 30 organizations, companies and educa-
tional institutions directly concerned with
trees and forestry. This body unanimously
recommended that the Eastern White Pine be
adopted as Ontario's Official Tree.
With passage of the legislation. Ontario
will be the first Province in Canada to adopt
an official tree and certainly the Eastern
White Pine will serve as a symbol of beauty
and utility. ,
