Ballooning is a new sport in Canada, members of the Bowmanville Lions Club were told Monday night. But guest speaker Kathy Dixon reminded her audience audience that it was slightly more than 200 years ago when the first balloon was launched. The earliest flight carried a cargo of one rooster, a dog and a sheep. Of course, once it was discovered discovered that high altitudes were safe for living creatures, creatures, it wasn't long before humans were enjoying the view from the wicker basket. basket. Kathy Dixon told members members of the Lions Club that even if the sport is new, it is certainly growing. A past president of the Balloon Association Association of Ontario, she recalls recalls that there were only two or three balloons in Ontario Ontario when she first became involved in the sport in 1977. Today, the number of registered registered balloon pilots in Canada is about 200. That's considerably fewer than the approximately 2,000 pilots of balloons who are flying in theriUniled.States. , Lions were advised that a beginning balloon pilot can expect to pay at least $14,000 for his aircraft -- a cost about equal to a sports car. In addition, he'll need a pilot's licence very similar to ones carried by those who fly private planes. The balloon pilot learns the same regulations and navigation navigation skills as the private CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE NOTICE OF HIGHWAY CLOSING AND CONVEYANCE TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, at a meeting to be held in Court Room #1, Police and Fire Building, Bowmanville, Ontario, on Tuesday the 24th day of April 1984, at the hour of 7:00 p.m., in the afternoon, propose to pass a by-law to stop-up and close and to authorize the sale of part of the unopened road allowance, lying between Lots 2 and 3, Broken Front Concession, former Township of Darlington, now in the Town- of Newcastle, more particularly designed as Part 25, Plan 10R-1330, more particularly described as follows: ALL AND SINGULAR that certain parcel or tract of land and premises situate, lying and being in the Town of Newcastle, in the Regional Municipality of Durham, Province of Ontario, and being composed of part of that portion of the unopened road allowance, allowance, lying between Lots 2 and 3 in the Broken Front Concession of the former Township of Darlington, more particularly designed as Part Twenty-five (25) according according to Plan 10R-1330, deposited in the Land Registry Office for the Registry Division of Newcastle (No. 10) on June 30th, 1981.

Sixteen hours of instruction instruction in the balloon are required and exams must be passed. Usually, it takes one full season to obtain a licence. But Kathy noted that the popularity of the sport means that it's not easy to find an instructor. There are only four or five of them in Ontario and there are waiting lists, she explained. Early balloonists didn't understand exactly what kept their craft in the air. But today we know that it is the rising heat which fills the envelope and causes the balloon to float. "It (hot air) rises because it is lighter than cold air and that's what keeps the balloon up," Ms. Dixon said. The propane-powered burner which heats the air develops up to 12 million BTUs per hour. Many spectators are surprised surprised to find that balloonists balloonists don't carry sandbags sandbags to raise or lower their machine. In fact, a balloon will rise or fall by turning the burners off and on or by opening and closing a vent in the top of the envelope. The average balloon is approximately 70 feet tall and is made of ripstop nylon fabric. Like conventional aircraft, the balloon must be examined annually by an air maintenance engineer to ensure that it is airworthy. airworthy. As for the actual flying of a balloon, Kathy Dixon described described the experience as something similar to standing standing on a balcony. "You have no sensation of motion in a balloon," she said. Balloonists Balloonists generally fly only in the countryside and only in familiar territory. They avoid landing in pastures where livestock may be frightened or in fields where crops may be damaged. damaged. To help Bowmanville Lions understand the sensation sensation of balloon flight, Ms. Dixon's presentation was accompanied by a slide show of balloons in flight and preparing to lift off. The slides were prepared by photographer A1 Stachel. MERVYN B.
