B10 Wednesday, January 22, 2020 HOOD RIVER NEWS | Hood River, Ore. hoodrivernews.com GEAR: Local needs met continued from B1 and consignment gear rang- ing from boots and poles to snowboards and skis of all dimensions, and snowshoes. Doug’s shop entry is off First Street, where you can get repairs and rent all man- ner of snow sport gear, in- cluding helmets and snow- shoes. Doug’s sells garments and gear on the main level and basement. The shops have in com- mon selection spread over multiple store levels. And lo- cated two blocks apart, they behave as neighbors. Benoit said, “It’s really great having 2nd Wind in town. One thing we do really well is to help each other.” “Sam and Pepe talk all the time,” added Manager Dana Riviello. “If I don’t have it or I don’t have the timeline to meet their needs, we send them over. The biggest goal for us. between the shops, is to keep people local, and for people to know that local shops can provide them what they need,” Benoit said. “We’re definitely competi- tors when it comes to retail, but with repair, we definitely work with them a lot,” Pepe Gerald said, “and sometimes with retail. We’re checking in with each other every day asking how things are going, what are you seeing and are there ways to help each other out. If someone comes here looking for a particular bind- ing, if they’d be better served at Doug’s or by Bob Olsen up at Mt. Hood Racing (in the town of Mt. Hood) or Mead- ows and even Timberline, we’ll give them a call. We’re most interested in ensuring people’s needs are satisfied locally, and I’d rather they go a couple blocks to another brick and mortar rather than going online to Amazon. We’re really glad Doug’s is here.” He gave the example of goggles — “We don’t carry Oakley but if they really don’t want a Smith, then we send them to Doug’s.” CLOCKWISE from top right: Andrew Boyle replaces gear in the space-saving rack system installed at Doug’s last year; the 1980s exterior sign from the original 2nd Wind location, remains on display in the new space; a customer peruses 2nd Wind’s con- signment selection; small nicks and scratches on a ski can lead to bigger problems. © 2020 by Vicki Whiting, Editor Jeff Schinkel, Graphics Vol. 36, No. 7 NASA says that only about one piece of space litter falls to earth each day. Nearly all of this burns up as it enters the atmosphere. ave you noticed that all too often people leave litter behind when they go out and about? That causes problems for our planet and living things. Since people started exploring space, we have been leaving litter behind. And that space litter is causing problems. Space junk is a problem. Orbiting junk travels at tremendous speed, causing damage to working satellites and spacecraft like the International Space Station (ISS). Orbiting Earth there are: 34,000 objects larger than 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter 900,000 objects ranging from .4 inches (1 cm) to 4 inches (10 cm) in size 128 million objects from .04 inches (1 mm) to .4 inches (1 cm) Identified Flying Objects Using a ruler, find objects around your classroom or home that are approximately the sizes listed above.
