ANNUAL WATER FESTIVAL
Fun event proves to be terrific learning experience for studentsBy Steve BlockThe Chronicle-News
More than 1,300 area students
(pictured above) arrived on the campus of Trinidad State Junior College Thursday morning for the Fourth Annual Festival. The fine weather seemed to bring out the best in the students, the many experts presenting educational in-formation about water issues and the hardworking volunteers who helped make the festival come to vivid life.
Trinidad State biology teacher
Cliff Wiening and his two sons, Wyatt and Chance, showed the stu-dents the awesome power water had when confined and then sub-jected to air pressure. Plastic bot-tles were partially filled with wa-ter, and then air was pumped into the bottles, which were stationed upside down on a stand. When a string was pulled and the bottles’ air pressure released, they shot up high into with an audible ‘whoosh!’ The students were stunned by the power made possible by the use

Water Fest proves to be terrific learning experience for students... Continued from Page 1
... Continued from Page 1New career workshops to be held today, Weds. at TSJCrience into a strong support network and eventually, a career they will be passionate about.
They will be led through a series of interest tests and TSJC staff will be on hand to discuss the results and dig into the next step on the path to finding a dream career.
“Rather than just running out and getting a job, this is a different way of thinking. ‘This is my passion, this is what I want to do’— that’s pretty much were I take them,” said pro-gram coordinator Tori Eckes from the Workforce Center where she serves people looking for careers, or education, four days a week.
“I want to send that message of hope out there. If you are in the middle of a job transition—these [Pioneer] layoffs just came down recently—if you’re thinking about it, rather than just jumping into an-other job and climbing that ladder again—without really knowing if it’s really what you want to do—this is a way you can get a lot more informa-tion first,” said Eckes.
TSJC Director of Communica-tions Greg Boyce said this program is intended to ignite people who need a change, “When someone loses a job a kind of hopelessness can set in where people really just don’t know
what to do next. The Find Your Passion program may give them a spark, which can build into new job opportunities. Sometimes train-ing can be done very quickly. We’ve had students get good jobs after only 16 weeks of training. The program is also helpful for someone who is burned out and looking for a new challenge.”
Eckes said for some people more training isn’t even required and that this program isn’t meant to push peo-ple toward college, that might be one route, but it might not be for every-one. “I had a guy in recently who got laid off. He had been in construction and worked with heavy equipment all his life. He was trying to find a job and just getting frustrated. He came here and went through these same steps and he did his interest test and it turned out that working in a rail-road facility might be good for him, which he’s done before. A job came through for track maintenance and it required a heavy machinery back-ground and he applied for it today. I don’t think he has a GED, but he has a good chance of getting that job, and he’ll go on to make more money than any of us. That’s the kind of thing that’s exciting for me being down here. I get to help people with
all sorts of backgrounds, people with no GED, people with college educa-tions. There’s something out there for everyone and we can help people find that.”
Trinidad State has had a repre-sentative co-located at the Workforce Center for several years off and on, said Eckes. Generally the positions are funded by federal or state grants. “The primary reason we devote time at the Workforce is to share referrals back and forth between agencies and to assist individuals visiting the Workforce with imme-diate support if they are interested in attending college or re-training. Additionally, we now offer the ‘Find Your Passion’ service where we can help individuals identify their inter-ests and values in a career through short surveys and then assist them in developing career plans that may include training with the college or another resource.”
When asked how the local em-ployment landscape affects what is done at the college, TSJC President Dr. Carmen Simone said, “When a local company lays off people, that has an impact on all sorts of facets of what we do. Including just losing that part of our population, because some of those folks are going to leave
the area and that of course has an impact on the college. Part of the rea-son we have a place on the economic development board is so that when we hear of new companies that are coming in, we can be at the table to talk about what kinds of training we could offer for those employees. Be-cause as the population of the Trini-dad area grows, that helps raise all boats.”
Eckes used her own experience as an example of how some of the el-ements of “Find Your Passion” can lead to a dream job even if it’s unex-pected. “I’m here because I want to live here and be around my family,” said Eckes. “This is one of my dream jobs and I’m so grateful working for the college. And I’m not qualified. I have a business background. No ex-perience in education. But because I leveraged my experience in sales and marketing into a recruiting job here—you know—so that’s how I got in the college and started learning things like this. And this is my pas-sion, you can tell, I love it.”

of water pressure. The bottles shot at least 100 feet into the air before falling harmlessly to earth. The kids whooped with pleasure as they watched repeated demonstrations of the water bottle rockets, and seemed amazed at how much power could be generated without the use of any kind of explo-sive device.
“There’s 45 pounds of pressure in there per square inch,” Wiening told the stu-dents. “That’s a lot of pres-sure. All that air pressure is going to try to push the water out. When we’re do-ing this you have to keep in mind that this is all about physics, all right? Every-thing we do here is about sci-ence. That b u i l d i n g right there is a sci-ence build-ing. That’s where I work and w h e r e I teach. W h e n we’re fill-ing these water bot-tles with air, and you can see it’s a little cloudy, we’re put-ting energy into those bot-tles. We went from a liquid to a gas, and basically what
we did was create clouds in there. We change the state of matter by putting energy into something.”
When the rockets flew up into the air, they released a column of water beneath them, sort of like water that comes from a hose, but with-out the hose. The kids could see the thin column of water right in front of their eyes, right before it fell to earth.
Getting three water rock-ets to fire at the exact same moment required timing and practice, he said. The rocket team also fired a rocket with no water in it. That rocket flew even high-er into the air than the wa-ter-filled ones. He explained that the empty rocket had
the same air p r e s s u r e inside, but could fly high-er without the weight of the water inside.
Wiening, who also works with math and sci-ence students in the Up-ward Bound p r o g r a m , said his stu-dents in the
program had been shoot-ing off water-filled rockets for years, to demonstrate scientific principles. When
festival co-organizer Tom Perry asked him and his students to strut their stuff at the 2015 Water Festival, he said they were happy to oblige. He said his two sons were both excellent science students, Wyatt at Trinidad High School and Chance at Trinidad Middle School, with Wyatt a state science fair qualifier who won a $9,000 college scholarship, and Chance a regional sci-
ence fair qualifier. Many area students have shown Wiening that they can achieve great things in the classroom. The students take away many positive ex-periences from the annual water festivals, he said.
“I think they get exposed to a lot of things that oth-erwise they wouldn’t even know about,” he said. “Not necessarily every student is going to walk away with something, but for the kids that are, they’re the ones who are going to succeed later on.”
The festival was divided into 20-minute sessions, with the students going to the presentations they’d signed up for in advance. A tasty lunch helped break up the day. The kids got learn about the importance of healthy watersheds, rivers and streams. Aban-doned reptiles, rescued by
an Alamosa shelter, were a big hit when they were brought up close to where the kids were seated at ‘The Pit.’ The many presenta-tions brought the students up close and personal with all of the many water issues that today’s students will have to deal with for the rest of their lives.
Perry said he was de-lighted that everyone seemed to be having such a great time at the festival. There were several new and very interesting presenta-tions this year, he said. He thanked all the presenters, the host college and all of the area school districts that participated in the event. He reserved his highest for all of the many volunteers who took time out of their always-busy lives to help make the 2015 Trinidad Wa-ter Festival such a resound-ing success.
