Ski School Wilmot now operates a total of eight chairlifts one "quad", three "triple". and four double ". Two of the doubles each has an uphill capacity of 2.(KK) skiers per hour and the other two can handle 1.200 per hour The three triple chairlilts can carry 1,800 skiers per hour Six rope tows further increase Wilmot's uphill capacity, by 5.000 skiers per hour "In actual figures", Teichner states. "Wilmot can top Aspen in terms of total skiers transported uphill per hour" Wilmot has been nationally- recognized for its advanced technical knowledge in the art of "snowmaking". The most up-to-date type of snow guns will again produce the famous "Wilmot snow" this ski season. Wilmot's slope crews operate nine snowcats Teichner states, "the Wilmot Ski School can move the imaginary mountains between the novice and expert".

Ms Munz Yes. but not as much as we'd like It's funny, hut parents seem to feel it's all right to get involved when their child is in grade school, but that attitude seems to change when the same child enters high sch­ ool Perhaps it's because the child wants to be independent, even though he or she still needs to be dependent Both kids and parents really are happy when both are involved, but there's that hidden line that s difficult to get over O What else does the job entail? Ms Munz I keep tabs on refer ra ls f rom teachers regarding classroom behavior, learning problems, social skills, etc Say I get a note from a teacher that a boy wants to see the nurse every afternoon The symptom may be medical, but the problem might be social. The real reason needs to be leased out Or I may need to contact a teacher, possibly for a nirl who recently lost her dad It's important for her teachers to know that to make a special effort to know and understand her I a l so need to keep in touch with drug and alcohol concerns I don't know if |>e<>plc know i Ins but every year we have several freshmen and soplNmiores who are hospitalized for alcohol or drug abuse What would \oil say is the higgesl change xou' t e seen in Before buying toys for tots, shop carefully.

Ms. Munz I guess I'd have to say that attendance i£ the biggest change I've seen Twenty years ago. it was an accepted fact that everyone went to school every day. no matter what Well, that's changed now School at­ tendance has a much lower priority Many students and parents have a very casual attitude about it There are progressions to learning A student missing a special lab in Science, a review in English, or a machine demonstration in wood shop because of a two day absence can be messed up for a long time In fact, absence is the greatest single cause of failure in school today Student jobs can also put a strain on school attendance A job means income and in dependence Therefore, it can easily become the most im portant thing in a youngster's life Parents and employers need to keep a careful eye on a working teenager to insure that the job stays in second place A student who works a 30 or 40 hour a week job. in addition to a full school day. is carrying a load that even we. as adults, couldn't handle H: In general, do you like your job? Ms Munz l»ve it' Never want to do anything else 1 believe 100 percent in public education, even though it definitely lias its ups and downs There is no place more active than a school and nothing more exicting than participating in the constant process of change as youngsters grow into adults by E. L. "Buck" Roger* Should you hire a guide on a fishing trip, or not? This is a controversial subject which I have heard debated around campfires and smoke-filled pubs ever since I can remember. And. of course, there are two sides to the question. Price is a factor. A guide costs money, but the fees charged for a day of service differ widely from place to place. In Ireland, for in­ stance. you can hire a ghilli for a few dollars to point out the best fishing holes. The same situation applies to a Chilean boatman who will handle a pair of oars all day on a float trip and put you over trophy trout that you d never locate on your own. One of these "boteros" will charge a handful of escudos. worth less than SI0. Besides, he'll throw in a couple of bottles of wine and cook a shore lunch of barbe­ cued beef and fried trout you'll always remember. In contrast, a bass fishing guide on LJtah's Lake Powell may ask $250 for a day of fishing in his com­ pany. This is a high price for a few largemouth and I doubt if these folks do much business. But ihe example does illustrate the wide difference in the prices fishing guides charge. So. I suggest that you always ask "how much" before you make a travel decision. ^ Time can be a factor, too If you're on a two-week family vaca­ tion with time on your hands for experimentation, a guide may not be necessary. In .such cases it's more of a challenge to ask ques­ tions. and exercise your own fish finding skills. You may go fishless for a day or so. but with plenty of time this isn't important. But if you only have a few days to fish unfamiliar waters, a guide can he invaluable in making a vaca­ tion as enjoyable as possible. In such cases, time is more im |K»rtant than money. Hiring a guide or not is also de pendent on how well you know the species of fish and their habitat I, for instance, would have no hesita tion about fishing for trout, wal­ leye. and pike in unfamiliar waters without a guide Rivers arc usually no problem, cither, because the spots where the fish arc holding arc evident But, trying to fish a large bass lake, in the summer, without prior knowledge of its underwatei structure or fish habitat is a dif­ ferent matter. In such cases, local assistance can make the difference between a good fishing trip and a complete bust. A good compromise is to hire a; guide for the first day or so to locate the best spots, and then spend the remainder of your vacation fishing on your own Every situation is different, and how you fish probably bods down to one question Which is the most important, time or money0 Cool Homes ~ Healthier Those of us who are responding to energy conservation pleas by keeping home temperatures some what lower this winter are likely to stay somewhat healthier than those who continue to overheat their dwellings. The American Medical Associa uon reminds that temperatures in the mid 60s are healthier than tem­ peratures in the mid-70s Heating the interior of homes and offices during the winter removes moisture from the air The higher the temperature, the dryer the air Air with little moisture aggravates bronchial and other respiratory problems It contributes to dry throat and nose, coughs, and dry, itchy skin The respiratory system doesn't cope well with sudden changes in temperature Moving from an overly heated room into outside cold affects the body adversely, causing coughs and respiratory problems The body adjusts to tem­ perature changes gradually There are no major health advan­ tages inherent in keeping inside temperature somewhat lower, but there are minor advantages that will add to comfort and well being dur­ ing the winter If the air inside your home is very dry even with reduced temperature levels, you might consider using a humidifier to add moisture * * * • Chicago Bears Fans: * DON'T MISS. . .
