If 'fiying like a bird' stimulates your imagination, perhaps gliding is a sport to con- sider. The Kawartha Soaring Club is offering a ground school for potentiai glider pilots every Thursday evenîng until May. Registration wil be heid at the Oshawa Fiying Club, Municipal Airport, on Jan. 26 at 8 p.m. The course, taught lby a iicensed glider pilot, costs $40 and includes an introductory flight in the spring. Whitby's AI Kirby, President of KSC, ex- plains that a glider is very similar in principle to a child's paper air- plane since neither one is dependant on wind to fly. He aiso reveais that a glider uses the sun as an energy source. As the sun's rays warm certain areas of the earth's sur- face heating the air above it, a rising column of bot air keeps the glider aioft. A pilot can use these columnns of air, known as ther- mals, to fly great distances. "There have been a few flights of more than 300 km distance flown from the area this year, " says Kirby. Thermals can also carry a glider to higber altitudes. Last su.rmer, gliders from the local club rose 1,000 feet per minute to gain a height of 9,0feet. It is uncommon for gliders to remain air- borne for several days. If the atmospheric con- ditions are favorable, it is possible to maintain a seven-hour flight in this area. While records used to be awarded for extended duration dlaims, the practice was Local fishermen winners in 'Big Fish' contest Two local fishermen are among the top 15 en- trants in two of the nine new "Live Release" categories in the 1983 "Molson" Big Fish Con- test.' Pete Cvancic, from Whitby, landed and reieased a 29-inch (73 cm) rainbow trout on Wilmont Creek in Newcastle to place 7tb in the rainbow trout "Live Release" category; while Gary Twining, also a Whitby native, landed and released a 24-inch (6Î cm) northern pike from Whitby Harbour to place 12th in the nor- thern pike "Live 'Release" category. The. Whitby winners each won a Mitchell 4430 Reel and matching rod. According to Lance Maies, Provincial Coor- dinator, Fish and Wildiife Services, of the Ontario Federation of Angiers, and Hunters, the "ILive Release" categories were in- troduced "te increase public awareness of the need te conserve our precious- naturai the mature spawners t'> live another year and spawn" The province-wide contest. whicb ceiebra..ed its 25th an-, niversary in 1983, also inciuded nine "Catch and Keep" categories reported as the best such competition in On- tario for 24 years. Males also states that while the contest had a record-high of 1,700 en- tries competing for $38,000 in cash and prizes, there were no existing contest records broken. The0. F. A.
