' The school program will work closely with the teachers and especially Mr. Larsen, the High School Counselor.Classroom instruction in-struction has already been presented and others planned for the future. Marsha reports that tremendous tre-mendous community interest has been expressed in re-initiating the "big brother-, big sister" program which she feels is an excellent concept and has begun acti6ns to get this underway as soon as possible. This program isvnot part of the . national one of the same name, although it is based on similar concepts and also along the line of the peer counseling concept. In addition to the school, oriented drug treatment and prevention program, Ihis year's format will also include activities programs SL VER MLL HOUSE RESORT PLAZA 1 284 Emplra Ava.

The Summit County pro-grant pro-grant uses a wide variety of films, manuals, books and articles and other resources from many agencies.

But the chilly early air remains floating all - around us, another page has been ripped off or rotated from the faces of all calendars, and we know that whjte packable, more permanent per-manent blanket is on its way. So the Newspaper last week visited the ski shops in town to ask and see how each was preparing for its bread and butter, the season. At no shop did we find any hustling bustling consumers bending skis, clunking around in boots snapping and resnapping them, or looking at mirrored shades in mirrors, which was nice for us, not for the shops. But we did find a few hustling bustling employes carting away and stashing unsold backpacks, tennis rackets and summer sport' clothes, unpacking newly shipped ski gear, seting up displays, dusting, marking price tags, reorganizing repair shops Jan Peterson Dava Conatabia '',', "' ' jmWmmWmmmmmmmtmSi vWi Di u on a wr& 'i ( Lt,f J II after summer hibernation just sorting things out for what everyone hopes will be a busy; hectic winter. ' ' Woodhaus At the Woodhaus we spoke with owner Dick Neilson and manager Jim Thompson, and we spoke mostly about equipment. The. first thing we found (and what else is new?) is ' that prices have gone up, but that, as usual, equipment has ' improved. Asked whether one could buy anything other than good equipment, Neil-son Neil-son told us, "Yes, there is still a lot of junk on the , market, although among the equipment we carry, top line, ' name brand skis, boots and bindings, there is little difference. All are good." Then he added that one really does get what he pays for. ' As far as boots are concerned, very, little has changed from last . year models. Dolomite is the only manufacturer that has tried something different, namely a heel with no raise at all --thereby --thereby providing the feet to at Wotfa's at TknbtrtMut r on the other hand. . . be flat on the ski. The trend continues to be toward softer , flex forward boots and more and more comfort. Also, Thompson told us boots "are all beginning to look like Nordicas." Ski manufacturers are concentrating con-centrating on longer and softer boards, even in the competition class; and people making bindings continue con-tinue to eliminate hassles, continue to try to allow skiers to feel like they can . just "jump in and go." And this year every binding comes with ski-stops, if y6u want them. The most noticeable change this year will be in garb. Colors will be more earthy and subtle. Blacks and browns will abound. Flashy colors and racing stripes have taken a back seat with designers, and both Thompson Thomp-son and Neilsen feel the change is important and good. "Now people can buy outfits and not think they have to go out and ski like some hot-dog just because they're dressed like one." The Woodhaus wants to' emphasize its demonstration program. Along with skis, they also demo boots, adding that they're "the only shop in town" that does so. "It's better if a person can decide for himself what feels best, instead of relying solely on recommendation or advertising." advertis-ing." - ' Timberhaus In a tiny room not much bigger than a closet that has served the past couple years as the repair shop, we spoke wa-Dayid -goBltabk M tjje Ttaberhaus'-He'agreed te tar- ine current gear irenas, adding a feeling that Dale 1 Boots might takeoff in sales.

" I tnr t m m. ij are moving to make room for a Timberhaus-owned accessory acces-sory shop. .' . To say the least, David Constable is excited about the shift into a space compatible with repair work. With more room, more equipment and more employes, employ-es, their service will be greatly improved. Instead of the closet's single work bench, they will now have four double benches. Also new for David this year will be a wet grinder. The new and more wisely located Timberhaus rental shop will boast 23) new pair of Kneissl skis outfitted with Soloman 444 bindings, and . 23) pair of San Marcos and Garmont boots. And rounding round-ing out the rental offerings will be 3) pair of high-performance demonstration skis. Matt Alvarez, owner of the Timberhaus, is also planning ' to utilize the golf pro shop as a cross-country outlet. It will handle both sales and rentals of cross country' ski gear, including many different makes for demonstration ; purposes. Wolfes Up at Wolfes we received a Jan Peterson tour through the repair shop, the portion of a ski shop he holds as key to success. "Your credibility is in your repair shop," he told us. It makes no money, just barely breaks even, but' nevertheless is the main cog in the whole operation. , "People always grumble about repair costs but they , m life ePeWit' run T professional prof repair outfit." Peterson said. "You can't mount bindings for free anymore." Ski repair technology and machinery are ever-increasing and to be competitive you have to keep buying the latest equipment. And then you have to train your repairmen on the new equipment. equip-ment. , ,. "It's getting so it takes at least a couple winters of experience to become a Nlalaon at Woodhaus wise 1 professional repairman," Peterson went on. "The field's now as technical as plumbing and electrical engineering. We have to send our people to 5or 6 fall clinics to be certified with the , different manufaturers." ! Another concern for keeping keep-ing a professional shop is the liability. The courts require maintaining a repair shop at least on par with the state of the art. Along the tour we learned about several different types of machinery, some old but not yet outdated, some new. We saw the wet-grinder (purchased last year),, which . has an advantage. ' over another type of grinder in that the belt goes through a cooling bath. Another device used by Wolfes is the I beam, which looks like nothing more than a steel girder; but has the asset of a truly flat surface on which you can 0 a PD0ujoc!1 UULIVUVSU Snow Removal GUARANTEED WORK CcS- Richard Bossert-649-9617avnlngs Bill Bartagnola-649-8538 Dick Mapstona-649-8197 pAn inn ntai Richard Bossert 649-961 7 evenings U. an op aqa q i HAL TAYLOR ASSOCIATES P.O.
