MCA Denver spotlights southern Black heritage

The Dirty South exhibit runs through Feb. 5

Every morning when Nikki Swarn goes to work at the radio station, she is greeted with the smiling faces of Black creators, all who share their stories on the airwaves about how R&B and hip hop music has impacted their lives and inspired their art.

As a person of color, Swarn, the general manager and program director at 104.7 e Drop, is impacted daily by the positive representations of Black music, art and other media artists. Swarn believes that it is important to highlight positive narratives of people of color.

“It is all about dignity, respect and recognition of the contributions we have made, not only to American culture, but cultures around the world,” said Swarn. “We are a diverse people with beautiful, important stories that must be told. ere’s nothing like seeing ourselves, our cultures, our power depicted in uplifting stories of encouragement that solidi es our value and our voices.”

e Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, in collaboration with Swarn’s 104.7 e Drop, are hosting the museum’s latest cultural exhibit, “ e Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture and the Sonic Impulse.” e exhibit runs through Feb. 5 and explores the aesthetic legacies and traditions of Black culture in the South as seen through the lens of contemporary Black musical expression. e exhibit, originally organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, has worked its way around the United States highlighting southern Black culture. It is wrapping up its nationwide tour in Denver.

“ e Dirty South exhibition is a re ection of the profound in uence

African American southern culture has had on America. e vehicle of hip-hop, the exploration of social justice, the Black body, religion, cultural values, and more are enveloped throughout this poignant moment in history. So often stories from people of color have been left out of positive narratives in many forms of media, art and entertainment,” said Swarn. “We are so proud to partner with the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver as we re-de ne contemporary art and celebrate a social movement that feeds the soul, tells our truths and our diverse story. We are proud to be the only city west of the Mississippi

to display and close out the tour of this phenomenal exhibition — so tting as we stand in the illustrious light and history of Five Points, the Harlem of the West.”

Nora Burnett Abrams, the Mark. G. Falcone director at MCA Denver, shared why the partnership with 104.7 e Drop is so special for the exhibit and for Denver.

“104.7 e Drop is so much more than an incredible radio station — it also serves as a dedicated community advocate and champion of cultural life in this city,” Abrams said. “It is an honor to be

Polis commutes 4 inmate sentences Denver trooper included

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis cut short the prison sentences of four inmates and pardoned 20 people, including a former Colorado State Patrol trooper who guarded the state Capitol and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge after pointing a gun at a passing driver near the Denver building in 2021 while he was on duty.

e former trooper, Jay Hemphill, pleaded guilty in Denver earlier this year to misdemeanor menacing. He was sentenced to a year of probation. Polis commuted Hemphill’s sentence and pardoned him.

“You served the State of Colorado with honor and distinction for twenty-six years, serving and protecting ve di erent governors,” Polis wrote to Hemphill. “You made a mistake in a brief instant when you thought you were under threat, and no one was physically harmed.”

According to an arrest a davit for Hemphill, the woman said she was driving her truck near the Capitol and attempting to make a right turn onto East 14th from Sherman when Hemphill crossed in front of her vehicle, pulled out his gun, pointed it at her and started to yell. e encounter was captured on video.

“I was afraid I was going to get shot,” the woman told Denver police.

e a davit says Hemphill, who had worked at the Capitol since January 1998 and was a constant presence in the building before the incident, reported the encounter to a Colorado State Patrol sergeant.

Hemphill started working for the

Empower Field to get a facelift

NFL approves $100M loan

After a disappointing season, the Denver Broncos are due for a makeover.

Except this time, it isn’t coming in the form of a new shiny coach or quarterback, but a Mile High upgrade.

eir home, Empower Field at Mile High, is getting a renovation, and the NFL is lending a big hand in making the remodel come true.

e team announced Wednesday that it received more than $100 million through the league’s G-4 nancing program. It’s the largest capital project investment in the stadium’s 22-year history.

“ is signi cant investment in Empower Field at Mile High —- the largest in the stadium’s history — demonstrates the deep commitment by the Walton-Penner Family OwnershipGroup to immediately and continually provide the best possible experience for our fans,” President Damani Leech said in a statement. “As we look toward the future with the long-term plans for our stadium, we are equally focused on the present to ensure Empower Field at Mile High remains a premier sports and entertainment venue.”

e NFL G-4 program allows NFL teams to receive assistance for stadium projects. e funding from the

program is considered a loan and is repaid from the visiting team’s share of certain seating. A team applying for the loan is required to put up matching dollars.

e most recent example is the Bu alo Bill’s recent approval of $200 million toward a new stadium. With the loan and owners Ted and Kim Pegula matching the funds, the Bills have $400 million for the $1.354 billion project. Local taxpayers are expected to foot the rest of the bill.

For the Broncos, the G-4 loan will cover most of the costs. e Metropolitan Football Stadium District, which levies and collects sales taxes in nancing the stadium’s projects, have already earmarked $12 million toward the upgrades.

e project is slated to begin after this season and complete before the start of the 2023 season. It will upgrade video boards, premium hospitality areas, technology, concessions, the Broncos Team Store and elevators.

e Broncos say the video board enhancements are the most enticing of all the anticipated projects.

e south-end scoreboard will expand by 70 percent. e new 72-feet-tall by 225-feet-wide scoreboard would be the fourth-largest scoreboard in the league.

How to heat building with sewage

No. It does not smell

As long as humans are around, there’s vast renewable energy to be had from the results of their daily living.

e National Western Center and Colorado State University’s growing Denver Spur campus are now heated every day by energy that experts in renewables were tired of seeing literally ushed down the drain. In a squeaky-clean building in the shadow of Interstate 70, energy is pulled from one of Denver’s main sewage lines and transferred to clean water pipes shooting out to buildings on the National Western Center campus next door.

It’s the largest sewage heat recovery system in North America, online since April, and an o shoot of the 72-inch sewage main provides 90% of the energy needed to heat and cool local buildings. In winter, the 65- to 70-degree sewage heats water in the exchanger. In summer, the sewage ow cools the exchange water well below ambient air temperature on a 95-degree downtown day.

Sewage-loaded institutions from Canadian cities to Las Vegas hotels are studying the project for lessons as the budding renewable technology takes hold among carbon-conscious customers.

e attraction for CSU was clear, Spur campus Associate Vice Chancellor Jocelyn Hittle said, as the university builds up a complex researching everything from clean water sources, to veterinary medicine, to vertical horticulture.

“It’s in our ethos to think about sustainability, to think about the long term, and we know that a low-carbon option here was important,” Hittle said. Overall, the building energy costs are a few percent higher than simply connecting to the existing grid, Hittle said, but CSU “is going to be here for a long time. So the bene ts accrue, when you think about sustainability and climate over that period.”

Making the sewage-to-heat system even more obvious was the fact it was basically an in-house project. Jim McQuarrie was the director of technol-

ogy and innovation for Metro Water Recovery, the region’s largest sewer utility, when he pitched the idea to one of his former graduate school engineering advisers at CSU.

Metro Water Recovery wants to oload heat from sewage before it gets to the treatment plants along the South Platte River, and is then discharged into the stream. Warmer water hurts sh and other wildlife.

Denver has billion-dollar redevelopment plans for the National Western site, traditional home to the January stock show and other events. e area’s sewer main was above ground on the site, which helped Metro Water Recovery lose heat but blocked ideal site development.

e planning coalition that developed around the idea agreed to put the big sewage pipes underground, and run an o shoot pipe to the new exchange building. e gleaming pipes throughout are labeled “sewer” or “ambient water.” Incoming sewage is rst screened for large objects, then ground inside the pipes to a slurry that will maintain its ow.

As in all cities, wastewater temperatures are boosted by hot shower or kitchen drains over 100 degrees and dishwashers that hit 140 degrees.

In the exchange chamber, the sewage pipes ow next to clean water pipes, which are then pumped to circulate through CSU’s Spur buildings a block away, and the growing complex of National Western Center renovations. Heat pumps in each building add or subtract a few degrees from the piped clean water to create the right indoor temperatures. en the clean water circles back to the exchange building for another run.

And the sewage keeps on coming. After leaving the exchange, the sewage ows back into the mains headed over to Metro Water Recovery, having lost energy but gained a purpose.

Every two hours, the sewage ow in the pipes is reversed to clean out silt and sand deposits, said Bryan Scott, chief operator on site for CenTrio, which nanced, built and manages the exchange complex for Denver and National Western Center. e exchange

Colorado State Patrol in 1995 and was a decorated trooper. In 2007, Hemphill shot and killed a 32-yearold man who declared himself “the emperor” while carrying a loaded .357-caliber handgun inside the Capitol. Hemphill received Colorado State Patrol’s highest award for stopping the armed man, Aaron Snyder, shortly after he entered then-Gov. Bill Ritter’s o ce.

A spokesperson for the State Patrol said ursday evening that Hemphill left the agency shortly after the 2021 incident.

Four prison sentences commuted e most high-pro le prisoner whose term was shortened by Polis is Michael Clifton, who in 2000 was sentenced to 98 years in prison after being convicted of seconddegree kidnapping, two counts of rst-degree burglary and three counts of aggravated robbery with an intent to kill.

Clifton and Rene Lima-Marin were teenagers when they robbed a video store in Aurora in 1998.

Lima-Marin, who was also sentenced to 98 years in prison but mistakenly released in 2008 only to be reimprisoned and then released after a court battle, was pardoned by then-Gov. John Hickenlooper in 2017. e pardon was issued in large part to prevent Lima-Marin from being deported to his native Cuba.

e victim of the robbery, Jason

Kasperek, originally objected to Clifton’s release. But Kasperek met with Clifton’s family, CBS4 reported over the summer, and decided to support the clemency request.

Polis ordered Clifton released on parole Jan. 31, writing in a letter to Clifton that he has “taken responsibility for his actions and recognizes the mistakes you made in the past.”

“A 98-year sentence for the crimes you committed is well beyond the typical range, a result of being given consecutive sentences on each of your charges,” Polis wrote. “As you are aware, the codefendant in your case has already been pardoned by Gov. John Hickenlooper. ese disparities, coupled with the work you have

done while incarcerated, supports granting your application.”

The other prisoners whose terms were cut short by Polis are:

• Sidney Cooley was convicted in Denver of theft, drug and a weapons possession charge in a 2002 case and convicted of six counts of second-degree burglary in a 2005 Je erson County case. He has served 18 years of a 54-year sentence. Cooley will be allowed to serve his parole in Ohio. Polis ordered him paroled after Jan. 31. “A 54-year sentence for the crimes you committed is well beyond the typical range,” Polis wrote in a let-

• Robin Farris will be eligible for parole Jan. 31 after serving 31 years of a life sentence for rst-degree felony murder in Arapahoe County. Court documents say she was in her late 20s when she fatally shot her former lover, Beatrice King, in an apartment in February 1990. Polis noted that Colorado’s laws have changed and that now her crime would be considered a seconddegree murder o ense and that she would be eligible for parole after 20 years. Denver Democratic state Rep.-elect Elisabeth Epps had been seeking clemency for Farris, and celebrated the news on Twitter on ursday. Farris has been in Colorado’s prison system longer than just two other women.

• Sean Marshall has served 14 years of a 45-year sentence for aggravated robbery in 2008 and will be released on parole at the end of January instead of in 2038. Polis noted that Marshall’s sentence was

“Anyone looking to utilize the free energy just going down the drain,”

10 times longer than some of the other seven people convicted in the same El Paso County crime. “While you have been incarcerated, you have confronted the choices that led you to prison,” Polis wrote in a letter to Marshall. “You overcame many obstacles and worked hard to change your life.”

Polis also issued pardons ursday to 18 other people, many of them convicted of drug crimes or lower-level crimes, like theft and burglary:

Scott said.

Besides getting a reliable and lowcarbon form of energy, CSU wants its energy and engineering students to continue involvement in the project as part of their education, Hittle said.  “ at’s another opportunity for us from a project of this scale,” Hittle said. “We’re learning as we go.” is story is from e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

‘Entanglements’ with nature

Lens-based exhibit looks at how people relate to environment

Metropolitan State University’s Center for Visual Arts starts o a new year with “Entanglements,” a new lens-based exhibit of works by 11 national and international artists, which will run from Jan. 13 to March 25 at the CVA Gallery, 965 Santa Fe Drive, Denver. March is Denver’s Month of Photography, and these works interpret artists’ views about how we, as humans relate to nature and its resources.

Eleven di erent views, that is ... e opening reception will be on Jan. 13, from 6 to 8 p.m., and the public is welcome to attend then or visit this handsome gallery. (Admission is free.) “Entanglements” was curated by Cecily Cullen and Natascha Seideneck, who teaches at MSU.  ere is an agenda stated: Artists hope to inspire viewers into action that is supportive of the natural environment. Check the CVA website for programmed events as some artists will be speaking at the gallery. Example: Amy Hoagland will speak at 5 p.m. on March 9 and Regan Rosburg will speak at 5 p.m. on Feb. 9. She has written a book called “Church of Water: A Portrait of the Arctic.” She

teaches at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Lakewood.

Other artists with works included in “Entanglements” include: Persijn Brersen and Margit Lukacs; Dornith Doherty, Felicity Hammond, Jana Hartman, Marcella Kwe, Anastasia Samoylova, Sarah Sense and Alicia Wroblewska.

Hammond will have a photographic collage series titled “Hidden Gems,” described as “jumbled, chaotic mining landscapes with the detrius left by the mineral extraction industry.”

Hoagland’s installation, “ aw-

ing Web,” challenges the idea that human society exists separate from nature.

Broersen and Lukacs take recognizable landscapes and reimagine them in two works entitled “Mastering Bambi” and “Establishing Eden.”

Both lms feature familiar landscapes — familiar because they were used in popular lms, but minus the actors and set pieces ...

Time for resolutions

It’s that time of year again when the New Year’s resolution topic comes up. What can we do better in 2023? How can we improve ourselves? Should I really have a resolution?

I’ve heard a lot of people over the last few years say they are not doing resolutions anymore. Saying it’s a bad tradition. e more I think about it, the more I have mixed feelings on the topic.

I am a person who does not necessarily wait for a new year to think about how I can improve myself. As a bit of an overachiever, assessing and reassessing myself in life at work, at home and personally is a regular occurrence.

However, with a new year, I often re ect on what I am proud of in the previous year and what I think I can continue doing well and improve on in the new 12-month cycle.

For 2023, my goals are a little di erent than in past years. So often, I set high expectations for how I can do more at work. A big one is always re ecting on what I need to do to be a better parent.

In 2023, one of my goals is centered more on myself. A common statement made to me throughout the years is, “You need to cut yourself a break.” I wouldn’t say that is only in 2022. In fact, I can’t remember a conversation about something I feel I have failed at or not done to my standards in which my parents, husband and other family members have not told me to cut myself a break.

Maybe this can be the year where I take their advice. ere were so many things in 2022 that were out of my control, but I still held myself accountable.

As many of my family and friends will say — It could be I hold myself accountable to a fault. Maybe a lot of us do.

As moms, we are hard on ourselves. Our child makes a mistake — we re ect on what we did wrong as a parent. Maybe they just make mistakes, and our job is to teach them past it and not think it’s something I, or we, did.

I will stand up and say I often blame myself and create plans on what to do when my kids do something. Again, in 2023, I will work harder to teach the kids but work to cut myself a break.

In regular life, I hope to cut myself a break and work a little less hard and stay a little less busy and go back to enjoying some of my hobbies in the New Year.

On a personal note, I love crafting. I make T-shirts and signs, and can spend hours creating things to usually give away. In 2022, I can probably count on one hand the number of projects I did because there were so few.

is hobby allows me to shut o my mind and relax. I am an overthinker on every level. In 2023, working to shut my brain o is me trying to better myself.

Do I know if this will work? I do not know, but I know the point of resolutions is to try to do better in an area of our lives that needs improvement. In 2023, I’m sure I am not alone in thinking that being more vigilant and thoughtful to our own personal needs is not a bad place to start in the new year.

New year, new plans, new attitudes

No matter where you are in the world, this week o ers us all the opportunity to enter the new year with a new plan and a new attitude. Even if we believe we have the right plan and a great attitude, there could be room for a little improvement raising the bar for ourselves and those around us. What if we could make the slightest incremental improvements to our existing plans and our outlook? I think you would agree that we would experience even greater results.

ese past couple of months have kept us busy with clients and internally with business planning, writing sales plans, prospecting plans, training plans, new onboarding plans, and working with clients and friends on creating and building vision boards that help provide visual reminders of our goals and what we expect the new year to bring. And if we forget or fail to plan, this old quote often attributed to Benjamin Franklin still holds true all these years later, “By failing to plan, you are preparing to fail.”

Now some of us might be thinking that our plans are just ne, and our attitude is exactly where it needs to be. Whenever I hear this, I am reminded of something my great uncle Harry would always say, “ ere is nothing so good it couldn’t be better, and nothing so bad that it couldn’t get worse.” So, even if we believe our plans are solid and our attitude is good and positive, maybe we could take one last look at our plans and give ourselves a check-up from the neck up to try and identify any blind spots we may have missed.

When it comes to planning, I am a big advocate of using a planning tool. I am a little biased to the Ziglar Performance Planner as it is an annual planner that helps me not only manage my days and meetings, but it also helps me to plan out my goals for the year and track those goals each and every day. It also contains some of Zig’s most famous motivational quotes, and when I read those each day, it de nitely inspires me, and ensures my attitude is in the right place as I glance at those words of wisdom throughout my day. If you aren’t using one, I would highly recommend that you

nd one that works for you and your schedule.

How do we develop and maintain a positive attitude in a world that can sometimes feel so negative? at is a question I receive from many of you throughout the year. And here at the beginning of the year is the perfect time to take control of our own attitude regardless of what the world throws our way. Setting our foundation upon an attitude that starts with gratitude. It’s really di cult to slip into a negative head space when we are grateful for everything we have and everyone in our circle of friends and family.

Maintaining a positive and healthy attitude isn’t just about gratitude alone, we also must be careful of what we allow to enter our minds. Again, here at the beginning of the year it is a fantastic time to create a reading calendar for the year of the good books that we want to read, books that inspires us and that keep us grounded. It’s a great time to nd the podcasts that are lled with powerful and positive information that can motivate and challenge us to grow in mind, body, and spirit.

How about you? Is the new year the right time to reevaluate your plans? Are you failing to plan? Or are you all over this and have a brilliant plan and a wonderful attitude? Either way, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can take the time to create a plan that will help us to achieve all that we hope to achieve in the new year, and support that plan with a positive attitude, it really will be a better than good life.

favorite podcasts

Traversing the 360 square miles that make up the coverage area for our two dozen newspapers means I spend a lot of time in my car. I live in ornton and work in Englewood. One can only listen to so much music and news — especially when tra c gums up by Mile High stadium. So, I turn to podcasts to make my commute more educational, and, let’s face it, more entertaining.

ere are ve local podcasts that I think are worth your time. (I’m sure there are more that I need to hear. Please email me with your suggestions. I have a lot of miles to cover in 2023!)

1. Citycast Denver

I’ve fangirled to host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi at various journalism events, so this No. 1 is no surprise. Every weekday drive, I enjoy their takes on the news in and around the Mile High City. From the legendary Pizza Week battle (which I

2. ¿Quien Are We?

e laurels that have been given to this podcast, with host May Ortega from Colorado Public Radio, are truly deserved. It debuted in July and was an immediate must-listen. e episodes that struck me the most were the ones that connected so much with my own life as a Latina: e Baseball Fan, e Journalist, and — for someone who every year attempts to replicate my late mother’s recipe for tamales — the Green Chile episode. Can’t wait for Season 2!

3. Lost Highways

Whereas podcast episodes that are “ripped from the headlines” can feel outdated as the news cycle moves on to other things, what I love about history podcasts is that, well, they never get old. Hosts Noel Black and Tyler Hill enlist historians to weave tales on some fascinating gures in Colorado history — Alfred Packer, Mother Jones and the Black men who in ltrated the KKK were featured in 2022 — and bring us back to the era in which they lived in ways both insightful and entertaining.

4. Back From Broken

In another CPR podcast, host Vic Vela, a former Colorado Community Media reporter, has taken his personal story of recovery and found a way to help others, by sharing remarkable stories of addiction, mental illness or personal injury that transformed someone’s life. ere are times when the stories are super hard to hear,

but I’m a believer that listening to a person’s struggles can be the ingredient that increases our capacity for empathy.

Daily Sun-Up

is feels a little bit like cheating — e Colorado Sun, which produces this podcast, is a newsroom partner (and actually featured me in an episode talking about local news). But e Sun-Up’s quick rundown of the headlines and a focus on one of their many in-depth stories always gives me a quick education about what’s going on in our state.

And here’s a few non-local podcasts that get my attention every week: Pop Culture Happy Hour - A rotating cavalcade of National Public Radio voices talk about whatever’s new in television, movies, music and

Thelma Grimes’ family fun and entertainment

When you have three kids ranging in age between 6 and 17, family fun can come in a wide variety from the movies and television shows we watch to what we do in the Denver metro area and beyond. For 2022, my top 5 list is all about the memories and best we did and enjoyed as a family.

1. The Colorado Avalanche e top choice for the Grimes family has to be the Colorado Avalanche winning the Stanley Cup. It was spread over months, not just one day, and we had a blast going to games, attending the watch parties, and tuning in on television as Nathan McKinnon and Captain Gabriel Landeskog brought the title home. My 9-year-old and 6-year-old sons were

in total shock when Landeskog gave them high ves and signed their hats. e special memories of sitting at the rst playo game and hearing the magic of “All the Small ings” play at Ball Arena are just a few reasons this is the top Grimes family source of entertainment for 2022.

2.

The Cheyanne Mountain Zoo

Since moving to the Denver area eight years ago, I have often heard about this zoo in Colorado Springs, but 2022 is when we nally took some visiting family members up the mountain way. is zoo is fantastic. Feeding the gira es and enjoying the mountainside layout

Loveland Ski Area partnered with the Chris Anthony Youth Initiative Project to get fifth-graders onto the ski slopes

Coloradans can always look to the west and see the mountains in the distance, but for some who live in the inner cities of Colorado, actually getting to the mountains can be a bigger task. irty- ve fth-graders hit the slopes in Loveland for the rst time on Dec. 13, some even experiencing the mountains for the rst time.

Students from Laredo Elementary School in Aurora came to Loveland Ski Area to ski with professional skier and Snow Sports Hall of Fame inductee Chris Anthony.

Anthony has been working with kids for many years and has hosted his youth program at Loveland for the past three.

e Chris Anthony Youth Initiative Project works to improve the lives of kids through educational enrichment. One of the ways the foundation does this is by busing classes of fth-graders out to Loveland ski area to spend a day learning to ski.

Anthony’s foundation pays for the bus, winter clothes, ski rentals and passes for the children to come experience the slopes. Most kids who come have never skied, and some have never spent time in the mountains despite living in Colorado.

Peter Zola is the teacher for the fth-graders at Laredo Elementary School.

“Every year we have at least two or three kids who have spent most of their life out on the plains in sight of the mountains but never in the mountains,” Zola said.

Zola has been taking his class to ski for eight years and said he always sees great behavior out of his students during this trip. He attributes that success to the active learning the kids get to see and experience on the mountain.

Anthony sees kids get o the bus with a wide range of emotions, from excitement to nervousness for the day. After a day on the slopes, he sees a common thread between all of them.

“No matter what, at the end of the day, all of them, you can see a bright light ignited in the process,” Anthony said.

Some of the kids were star-struck upon seeing Anthony, one even asking the hall of famer to sign his lunchbox.

After donning their coats and dancing out the

morning jitters, the fth-graders were ready to go get tted for skis.

irty- ve fth-graders getting tted for boots, skis and helmets all at the same time was a bit chaotic, but the sta ers at Loveland have done this before. e kids buzzed with excitement and quickly learned about the cumbersome feeling of ski boots.

After getting their skis ready to go, the kids

headed out to the snow with the instructors. ey learned how to put on their skis and quickly learned how to get up after they inevitably fell down.

Dan Huston is the director of the ski and ride school at Loveland. He said one of the biggest barriers for people being able to ski is location/ transportation.

“ e mountains and ski areas usually aren’t very close to urban population centers. We’re unique in that we are 56 miles from Denver,” he said.

After working with the program for a few years, Huston knows the impact it has on kids.

“ ey’re gonna remember this for the rest of their lives,” he said.

Mailene Hernandez, one of the fth-graders on the trip, had a lot to say about the day. She said the bus ride to the ski area was full of mixed emotions, but mostly excitement.  “It was a little bit chaotic, but it

was good,” Hernandez said. “I was kinda feeling excited and nervous at the same time.”

Hernandez took to the sport easily

and said the process of getting into her skis was pretty natural.

“While I was putting them on I guess I felt a little wobbly, but it was

pretty easy,” she said.

Hernandez also had some advice for other kids who might be learning to ski for the rst time.

“It’s really a fun experience, but I do recommend having some ski clothes because of how cold it is, and because you’re going to fall,”

She also went on to say how much of a blessing Chris Anthony was to her class and how happy she was that they even got the opportunity

After lunch, the kids got their skis back on and some of them graduated from the Magic Carpet over to the ski lift. Skiing down the hill was a good opportunity to work on turns and pizza wedges for the fth-

Anthony himself skied along with the kids throughout the day, helping to pick them up when they fell. His presence made the day even more exciting for the kids, with high- ves all around.

Hernandez and other students agreed that if they had the opportunity to ski again, they would denitely take it.
