Thevoyageofthedawntreader_smallposter Telluride's Nugget Theatre is showing "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" (PG) the week of Friday, January 28- Thursday, February 3. Based on the Narnia tales of C.S. Lewis, this time the entry point of the parallel universe is a painting, and the adventures of our young protagonists take place on the sailing vessel, The Dawn Treader.

Thefighter_smallteaser The second movie for the week is "The Fighter", (rated R), set in a gritty Lowell, Mass. in the 1990s. The movie tell the story of half brothers Micky Ward and Dickie Eklund in the fight game. Dickie is messed up on drugs, a has-been fighter training the younger Micky. Based on a true story, "The Fighter" earns its R rating on all counts, but both the critics and the audiences have praise for the movie.

See below for movie times and the Nugget website for reviews and trailers.

Chocolate palms For most of us, Telluride is a corner of heaven. For some, however, there's trouble in paradise. These people, the ones in toxic relationships, are the ones the San Miguel Resource Center opens its doors and hearts to, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The San Miguel Resource Center is the Telluride region's only entity, public or private, in the business of helping others help themselves. Its mission: put itself out of business by ending interpersonal violence in our extended community. The Resource Center accomplishes its objectives through its advocacy center based in town, prevention education in the schools and key pockets of our community, and a menu of other bi-lingual support services.

On Saturday night, February 5, 7:30 – 11:30 p.m., Telluride Conference Center, Mountain Village, the Resource Center holds its only major public fundraiser, The Chocolate Lovers Fling. This year's theme: "Heroes and Villains." Supporting the Resource Center means people who are in pain or have been wronged in the extreme – experts define abuse as going from a vague feeling something is wrong to battering or worse – can one day learn to picture a past hurt without dwelling on the negative emotions associated with disturbing memories. One day, their hearts can heal.

Sylvie Forget your old ideas about wheelchair-bound people: Telluride Adaptive Sports Program's education and development manager, Sylvie Fadrhonc gets around in her chair and on the mountain in her monoski, and you will run to keep up with her. Seriously.

Besides her work with Telluride Adaptive Sports and her budding career as a monoski racer, Sylvie is now a published author, having the cover story in the January issue of Sports 'n Spokes.

Telluride Adaptive Sports Program (TASP) continues to serve regional school kids, locals and visiting folks with disabilities. However, the level has been kicked up a notch or two, pushing the boundaries of what is possible for higher level athletes who just happen to have disabilities. Under the guidance of TASP program director Tim McGough, participants in the Expand Your Horizons Ski Camp (this year January 30- February 4) can experience the hike-to terrain at Telluride, and even ski with Helitrax, Telluride's helicopter skiing service.
