Ski camp was held this week at Chester Bowl and youth ski lessons are underway. It was amazing to watch young non-skiers become budding beginners, able to take the chairlift up and ski down the big hill with the help of slightly older ski cadets. This is a wonderful program on a variety of levels. But the best thing about it is the community that’s being created. Kudos to Thom Storm and crew.

A sign hangs on a door in the basement of Chester Park United Methodist Church. ”TO SANCTUARY” it reads in crisp blue letters on a background of white.

On election days, one of four election judge stations is set up directly across from this sign.

I really appreciate that the sign doesn’t say, ”TO THE SANCTUARY.”

It’s fun to to contemplate all of the possible ”sanctuaries” that could be behind that door.

Nice job getting this idea up and running Jake and Tom, along with the rest of the Citizen staff.
