Show Wednesday, September 7, 1983 VeiTial ExpfeSS 1 3 Labor Day airshow To fly like con eagle ... Flight, the freedom and the romance of what once belonged only to birds became captured by man in the science of aviation. In 1903 the Wright brothers made the first successful powered flight. Since that day the adventurous in spirit have progressed in technology and knowledge to today's aircraft and flight. In a way the airshow held this Labor Day was a celebration of the excitement excite-ment of flight. The entertainment lasted through most of the day. Activities Ac-tivities included sky divers, radio controlled con-trolled model planes, an ultralight demonstration, stunt planes, and an auto stunt show performed by Olie Anderson's Auto Daredevils. Specials with the Airshow and Olie Anderson's Daredevils have been only on-ly in the last eight years. The Daredevils have been around for 26 years. Olie tells us that the Daredevils, "have been in all the major shows in the United States, and into Canada, Mexico, and South America." The auto and motorcycle stunts performed perform-ed by the team of 10 have landed them parts in three movies, 'Gumball Ally,' 'Frebie and the Bean,' and 'Diamonds are Forever.' The 'season' for the Daredevils lasts from Memorial Day to Labor Day. So far this year they have played in 105 SPECTATORS at the Labor Day Airshow get a chance to examine ex-amine some of the planes used in the show close up. fairs and speedways. Olie is self-taught in his art and helped train the others in his group. He was born in Salt Lake City and raised and now lives in Neola. "To me the reason I do this type of work is the same reason mountains are climbed. It's a challenge and I enjoy en-joy it," said Olie. Bruce Yancey, an ultralight enthusiast, en-thusiast, was part of the demonstration demonstra-tion with the airshow. His is a bit different dif-ferent than the other ultralights, it includes in-cludes a sidecar. In the sidecar rides his partner, Sarah. Sarah wears a padded vest and a cape with a super S, similar to Superman's, with her name under the emblem. The uniqueness uni-queness of his partner besides the enthusiasm en-thusiasm for flight is the fact that she is a dog. Ultralights require no pilots license and according to Dean Reynolds, airport air-port manager, are the "look of the future." "The growing popularity of the craft is due in part to the cost as compared with the cost of planes," said Ron Hather, partner of Mountain Air Ultralights. "This is the third year the airshow has been held," and while only about two-thirds of the people that were here last year attended, "this was the best show yet," said Dean Reynolds. Olie told us that "it is very doubtful that the show will be held next year." This is due in part to the attendance. The Civil Air Patrol, an Air Force division of Search and Rescue, helped police the area. To raise funds for the planes that are used by the patrol in locating lost aircraft a drawing will be held for a .30-06 rifle. Registering for the drawing took place in part at the airshow.

Other methods like sticking your finger down the throat or drinking salt water are not effective and can be harmful. However, there are certain types of poisons where ipecac should not be used, so call your doctor or the Poison Center before use. Houseplants are popular with many consumers.
