Ride the
Wind
STORY BY CARYN HALLER I PHOTOS BY SHANNON LITZ, JIM GRANT
A
mazing. Thats how Id describe my frst glider ride
last November at SoaringNV.
It was a cold morning after the frst storm of
winter hit the Valley, but when asked what the best
time of the year to fy is, my pilot Jeffery Hazlegrove said,
Anytime you get into the air is a good time. Jeffrey, a master
fight instructor for SoaringNV, teaches eight months out of the
year, although the company is open year-round.
A glider over Carson Valley.
Glider ride offers different perspective on Valley
In the Minden area, the mountains, deserts and clouds all
combine to create perfect gliding conditions. According to Jef-
frey, there are only three places that compare to Minden; New
Zealand, South America and Africa.
Mindens been on the map as a soaring destination since
the 1920s. Its world famous. If youre racing cars you want to
go to the best track. If youre a glider pilot, you want to go to
the area with the best conditions, Jeffrey said. People might
not be able to do this kind of fying in Washington or Oregon
or Germany, so they come here.
On our way out to the glider I asked if Id be able to take
notes while in the air. Jeffrey said I wouldnt need to because,
this is not something youll soon forget.
Sitting on the tarmac waiting to take off I was pretty
nervous, even though I knew I was in good hands.
Jeffrey, 55, took his frst solo glider fight at age 14. He has
logged 11,700 glider fights in his career.
It grows on you more and more and more. By the time
you do several fights its in your blood. Its a passion, he said.
Its still quite a thrill taking a person up for their frst fight.
And seeing my students soloing brings a smile to my heart.
After we lifted off I thought, Oh this isnt so bad, but
then we hit a little down draft and my stomach dropped. Being
towed by the plane, it was hard to tell that we were ascending,
or even moving at all.
We reached 9,800 feet and my body was still a little tense
with apprehension about what was going to happen next when
Jeffrey said, you see that yellow knob right there on your
left, pull it. That will release us from the tow plane. I pulled
it, and we were off on our own heading for Genoa Peak and
Lake Tahoe. I was beginning to relax by this time and enjoying
the views of the snow-dusted Valley below. Our air speed was
about 60 knots, but it felt like we were standing still. When
we reached Genoa Peak and turned around, it was amazing to
have a birds-eye view of the landscape.
All the circular felds, which on the ground seem square,
and a large section of the Carson River, combined with a
close-up look at the mountains, really made for a spectacular
experience. Off to the north I caught a glimpse of Washoe Lake.
Soaring was totally different from fying in a commercial plane
because I could see so much more and really felt the plane
moving with the air around it.

I was beginning to understand why thousands of people
visit SoaringNV every year to experience for the frst time or the
hundredth time what I was.
Somewhere in the back of their minds theyve always
wanted to do this. We hear bucket list a lot lately, Jeffrey said.
Its the love, the drive, the desire. Its a part of you. I feel like
something is missing if I havent fown in a while.
He also told me about a 92-year-old Carson Valley man
that goes up regularly with him, and SoaringNV had their frst
wedding performed in a glider over the summer.
We were beginning to descend when Jeffrey gave me the
rundown on how the stick works. Move it forward to make
the nose go down, and up to make it go up, right to go right
and left to go left. He then asked, Are you ready? My entire
brain was screaming no, but I took control and went for it. My
frst reaction was to just keep it steady and not move the plane
at all, but Jeffrey coaxed me to move the stick around using
small movements, and I got the hang of it. I piloted for a few
minutes doing my best to keep the wings even and the nose
pointed in the right direction. Its wasnt as easy as it looks on
television. Its constant little adjustments. Im glad I had the
opportunity to do it, but I was really glad when he took back
the controls.

I couldnt imagine soloing in a glider, but Jeffrey explained
that having a pilots license provides a sense of freedom.
Depending on the person, getting a license can take three days
to six months.
If youve ever thought you wanted to do it, go fy. Dont
let somebody tell you that you cant, he said. Gliding gives
you that freedom. You are in control, its not somebody else
telling you. It is using Mother Nature, and about as green as
you can possibly be.
He then asked me if I was ready for some tricks. That I was
totally ready for. By this time I was feeling really relaxed and,
since my breakfast was still intact, I fgured why not. He frst
did a wing over where the glider tips completely sideways and
foats to the side. It reminded me of a feather foating back and
forth. It was as if we were weightless just hanging out in the
open sky. Jeffrey then asked if I wanted to do a loop. Of course
I did. As soon as he pointed the nose upward I could feel the
Gs working against me. He told me to look around, and I
tried, but it was a little diffcult to move my head. We were
then upside down and fnishing our loop. All I could say was
Wow! Way better than any roller coaster I have ever been on.
The ride was then near the end, and we came in for our
landing. Jeffrey used spoilers on the wings to slowly bring us
down. I thought touching down would be a lot bumpier than
it was, since the aircraft only weighs 850 pounds. It was so
easy, and not scary at all. We landed quite gently and came to a
stop right where we left off from. I didnt want to get out. I felt
like I was in a dream, and completely speechless. Then Jeffrey
pointed the camera at me that was mounted on the wing to
document our fight, and asked what I thought. All I could
do was smile and giggle while stuttering out a few nonsensical
words. My frst glider ride will most likely not be my last.
Jeffrey was right, it defnitely wasnt something Ill soon forget.

Taking
Flight
STORY BY KURT HILDEBRAND I PHOTOS BY GORDON BOETTGER, SHANNON LITZ
M
ost people look at a 14-hour fight as an ordeal.
But Minden resident Gordon Boettger looks
at spending that amount of time in an aircraft
cockpit thats not quite as long as he is as an
opportunity for adventure.
Folding his 6-foot, 6-inch frame into the cockpit of his
1972 Kestrel sailplane, he knows that with each fight he is
heading into harms way, and that coming home safely is the
real task.
The scene from inside a Duo Discus glider from a fight
along the Sierra Wave in February 2011.
Preparation key to breaking glider records
People ask me how do you sit in a place for 14 hours?
he said. Whats amazing is that the only thing separating you
and the elements is an eighth-inch piece of canopy and a thin
shell of a cockpit. Its pretty harsh up there.
Boettger has broken records for solo fying, and was
honored during March in Washington D.C., along with friend
Hugh Bennett, for a record fight in Bennetts two-seater.
When fying at altitudes as high as 27,000 feet, at a surface
speed averaging 80 mph, being prepared is the key to survival.
I wont fy without a parachute, he said. If a wing comes
off the plane, you need to be able to survive. Bailing out is bad
news. If you get clear of the aircraft and get the chute open,
youre probably going to break a leg or two when you land.
While his survival suit keeps him warm, and auxiliary
oxygen in his bail-out bottle will give him three minutes to get
where the air is breathable, the real challenge is being found
once he lands.

You never know how far youll be from rescue, he said.
Its a huge desert out there. It takes days for people to be
found.
Thats why he carries not one or two emergency locator
beacons, but three.
I play the scenario in my head, he said. Youve got to
get clear of the aircraft and get the chute open. You can land 30
miles downwind, and still on the way down, theres a signal.
Boettger has never had to use his emergency oxygen or his
parachute. But even the act of fying the aircraft is a challenge
that requires preparation.
You always have to think of the worst-case scenario. I have
an emergency landing transmitter and three back-up devices,
he said.
He doesnt give up breathing, eating, drinking or even
urinating for 14 hours while hes packed into the cockpit of the
Kestrel.
With temperatures of -40 degrees at upper altitudes, just
staying warm is a critical issue. Theres no heat in the Kestrel,
but fortunately, it has a clear plastic nose that allows the sun to
warm his feet and legs.
Its cold, but with my feet in the canopy, it lets solar
energy warm me up, he said. When theres cloud cover,
sometimes my legs get so cold I lose the ability to move them.
There isnt enough oxygen at high altitude for a person
to breathe, so Boettger carries 15 hours of oxygen with him
in two large tanks under pressure. He also carries back-up
regulators in case one fails.
Staying hydrated is critical to maintaining his focus, so he
brings up to 64 ounces of water, and after hes consumed that
water, a catheter gives him the means to get rid of it.
A couple of sandwiches and he has all the ingredients for a
record-breaking fight.
Having all the ingredients doesnt do any good unless
Boettger can reach them.

When its all laid out the night before its got to be just
perfect, he said. Everything has to be in reach.
He said each fight is a three-day event.
The frst day you spend ramping up for it physically, you
have to be ready. Theres a lot of stress, he said.
Boettger uses a checklist to put everything where he can get
it.
Little things can add up, he said. The cockpit is
claustrophobic. It takes an hour to ft everything in. Its all
Velcroed in place. Dont expect much sleep the night before.
You have to be ready to go at 4 a.m.
Dealing with all the safety issues in advance is how
Boettger allows himself to focus on fying.
I dont want all the safety issues to overwhelm me, he
said. None of this is worth losing your life.
He describes the conditions as pretty cramped during the
fight, but the payoff comes with the ride.
The scenery is just incredible, he said.

Seniors
Helping
STORY BY CARYN HALLER I PHOTOS BY JIM GRANT
I
f the Young at Heart Senior Citizens Club had a motto it
would be, Seniors helping seniors. And they are always
in need of new members.
The club was founded in 1975 to operate and
maintain the Douglas County Senior Center. Since then it has
transitioned into the fundraising arm of the center leaving day-
to-day operations up to the county.

Pam Tompkins sorts items from the U Pick It Raffe at
the Douglas County Senior Center on Feb. 15, 2012.
Senior volunteers serve the community
Seniors
I would encourage people to join the board so we can
have new people to help with our events and get new ideas. Its
giving back to the community. Its a senior helping a senior,
President Andrea Rajeski said. We need volunteers to drive
seniors, serve meals, help out at bingo, set up raffes. Were
always looking for help.
Membership costs $3 a year, and is open to anyone age 55
and older.
Each month the Young At Heart board meets with the
senior center management to discuss what the centers needs
are. In the past, they have paid for new furniture in the dining
room, a walk-in freezer, an ice machine, a refrigerator for the
dining room and built the gift shop.
Its rewarding that I can be there to give back and help a
senior whos in need, Rajeski said. We have a ton of seniors
in this Valley.
In 2011 the group donated more than $5,500 to various
senior center causes including 90 and older birthday meals,
Mothers Day fowers, Fathers Day treats, an inventory control
program for the kitchen and upgrades on the dining room
speaker system.
Our goal is to support the senior center and thats what
we do, board member Paul Lockwood said. Ever since Ive
been there, whenever theyve asked for something weve gotten
it for them.
Lockwood joined Young at Heart 14 years ago as a way to
keep himself active.
I really believe God helps those who help themselves, so
we seniors should get involved with helping other seniors, he
said. The more involved you get, the more activities you do.
It helps keep you young. Sitting at home doesnt do anything
mentally or physically for you, so getting involved is a good
thing.
During the year, the organization holds many fundraising
events such as monthly and lunchtime bingo, bake sales, a
holiday craft fair and raffes. They are also involved in the
adopt-a-senior program that provides funds for seniors to
pay for dental care or eyeglasses, they donate to the Meals-
on-Wheels program and organize the holiday gift bags for the
homebound.
Rajeski said the building of the new Douglas County
Community & Senior Center in the fall of 2014 is a long-time
coming.
Its wonderful. Its more practical right now and its
needed, she said. The center now can only hold 126 people
for meals and there are days that its packed. We certainly need
the space.
She also said the club is brainstorming new ideas to
increase future revenue.
We do pretty good. We have people serving all the time,
she said. If something is needed at the center we talk about it
and see what we can do to get it for them.
With 400 members, not all active, Young at Heart has a
goal of reaching 500 members this year.
Ann Smutnak has started taking Young at Heart
membership dues for 2012. She is available at the senior
center Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to enroll new
members or renew returning memberships.
Its a fun organization where people get together and give
back to the community, Rajeski said.
