talked to From our standpoint the bus driver cooperation Is great Mr Lewis went on to say technically they are just supposed lo slow down but if they see a lunch pall or a bag outside the shelter theyll use it as a cue Most of the shelters spotted were equipped with windows or slits which the children could use to see the bus coming Lee Wilkinson of RR3 in Georgetown has a driveway of at least a quarter mite long The kids have to have something he said Up until he built the shelter he now has for his children Mr Wilkinson placed an old camper of a truck at the Toot of the driveway That was burnt down one Halloween and the new shelter doubles as a place for the childrens bicycles Leslie Kokclj who lives on Winston Churchill Boulevard and whose two children are bused to Holy Cross

hot air balloons passing overhead Perhaps you even wondered what it would be like to float in an open gondola suspended from a balloon high in the air Men have been ballooning for over years ever since 1873 when Ihe brothers first launched their paper linen balloon in France Today we arc witnessing Ihe resurgence of ballooning Paper and linen have been succeeded by nylon and safe and efficient propone burners have replaced the roaring bonfire the Mont go tiers used to gel their sky borne However It is an expensive sport with a new balloon costing over 15000 Bui I found for the would be aeronaut there Is an alternative In September 1 booked a Balloon from the Bullooncry Halton Hills Balloon There were four of us on this adventure my husband Jim and I and Lynn and Phil Wilson also of Acton the In the late afternoon and wire Introduced our pilot Since ballooning Is still a sport very much dependent on the weather It requires a knowledge able pilot always on the alert Tor power lines or a sudden change In the wind AI has been piloting balloons for seven years and this year was captain of Ihe winning Canadian team in the Can Am Cup Race so we knew we were In capable hands We waited in anticipation for the ground crew to Inflate the balloon First large fans were used to fill the balloon with air then the propane heaters were used to heat the trapped air and make rise until at last the Rainbow II stood tall as a ten story building and straining at the tethers The ground crew held to the ropes keep the balloon from rising and to keep it steady There was standing room only as the four or us Joined AI in Ihe small wicker gondola checked the Instru ments and watching the wind for the right moment lo cast off signaled the ground crew and dropped Iho sand- ballast We were launched It was a noisy launch with Ihe balloon belching name from the ignit ed propane as wo ascended Every few minutes there would be a ten second bum We drifted towards the west with the balloon chase crew In radio contact and following us up Highway Wherever wo passed over we would Inevitable get a reaction from Ihe people below us Even a herd of cows slopped frozen In their tracks until wo passed over In Rock wood a Scout troop and some fall campers looked up at our approach and waved excitedly At limes we descended so that we were barely skimming the tops of the trees and then the burners blasted and we regained our altitude sunset we passed over Ihe conservation area and we could see balloon reflected In the shimmering surface of the woler below us It didnt feel as If we were flying but more as If we were high atop a stationary observation platform and the earth turned below us I felt there was something majest ic about such an immense object floating silently above ihe surface of the earth With darkness quickly approach ing the mood changed We had been in flight for well over an hour and was We hovered over a field while radioed the chase crew to ask the farmer for permission to land Permission granted we landed in darkness In a very wet and muddy field Unfortunately the chase crews truck became embedded in mud up to the axles The farmer was willing let us use his tractor pull the truck out but again luck was against U3 the battery was dead Finally we were able to get help from a neighboring farm and the balloon was folded and loaded onto the truck Cold and wet we welcomed the uncorking at the traditional bottle of champagne and celebrated our safe return lo Mother Earth The soft silhouette of a landing la pictured here during on of the flights organized
