After shaking off the cobwebs left from New Year's Eve many feel a subtle obligation, a faint nagging to improve in some way. but the usual resolutions (quitting smoking, dieting, ect.) offer little, if any. motivation. A resolution that could prove to be more rewarding, challenging, and fun might be accomplished by taking tak-ing a class in continuing education. educa-tion.

There is also a life-long learning program which deals with things like the language arts and personal per-sonal interest." Classes considered "personal interest" range from country line dancing to a four day excursion to Yellowstone National Park. For those looking for skiing instruction instruc-tion or just an excuse to get on the mountain there are all sorts of winter sports courses available. Hillyard said. "This winter we have alpine skiing, snowboarding. telemark. moguls and freestyle all at Wolf Mountain."

" The youth enrichment enrich-ment classes differ a little bit from the sports programs. We have math, science, creative arts, and theater. It is fun and exciting and it's not school hut it's enrichment. It's an after-school activity that has life-long benefits. Kids eiioy it and look forward to it. It's an alternative to sports."
