Costumed corgis parade through Fort Collins

By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad

Corgis of all shapes, sizes, colors and mixes flooded into Civic Center Park donning various costumes, barking at one another in excitement. Costumes included a hairy mermaid, a loaf of wonder bread and a hot dog, which was a popular costume this year.

The 3rd Annual Tour De Corgi, also known as “the corgi parade,” began at 10 a.m. with the costume contest commencing at 10:30 a.m.

Some dog parents even committed to the festivities as well by dressing up in correlating costumes with their furry counterparts. For proud Corgi owners Maggie Boyd and Colorado State University alumni

Brandon Boyd, this kind of commitment was key this year. The couple dressed as Nintendo legends Mario and Princess Peach, while their corgi Theodore wore a spiked shell to depict Bowser and his sister Eleanor took on the role of Yoshi.

“The turn out this year is more than last year,” Maggie Boyd said. “And I feel like there is more participation with dressing

The couple and their pups hoped to win a prize in one of the costume categories that required a group costume, but a family dressed as the ninja turtles came out as the victors.

Students introduce a Black Feminist Manifesto with dance, poetry and heart

By Tatiana ParafiniukTalesnick @tatianasophiapt

With poetry, with dance, with soft voices, with loud voices, with borrowed theories and new ones, students at Colorado State University introduced a Black Feminist Manifesto to their campus.

T’Hani Holt, senior social work major, Ratu Marutle, junior anthropology major, and Shayla Monteiro, senior social work and women’s studies major, led their audience at the 28th annual Diversity Symposium through their individual and shared experiences as Black women on CSU’s campus in their presentation Towards a Black Feminist Manifesto, a performance made in anticipation for the soon-to-be released book.

They described their individual experiences as being unique to their personal interests, areas of knowledge and backgrounds, and their shared experience of feeling too Black to be woman and too woman to be Black.

“There has been a theme of struggle to enjoy who we are,” Holt said.

The presenters offered the

audience of around 30 people the ends of brightly colored yarn and similarly colored paper hearts – inviting them to participate and literally hold their hearts. Holt, Marutle and Monteiro took turns dancing, writing on the board and reciting prose and poetry.

Monteiro recited original pieces in a quiet voice, begging the audience to lean forward, and a louder voice, filling the small room with her words.

Holt is a leader in the project that started in March when 13 Black students wanted to attend the Words of Fire Conference at Spellman College in Atlanta. The conference cost money, so the group brainstormed ways to get there.

“We started writing donation letters and we decided that one of the ways we could get funding from departments and CSU would be to bring something back,” Holt said. “We were thinking ‘What can we bring back that’s going to change the direction CSU’s going in (regarding) diversity and inclusion?’”

A manifesto was born.

Every Sunday through the summer different students gathered for 2 to 3, or sometimes

4, hours to write, share and manifest.

The end result is a book with 9 contributors that will be released late October.

Holt anticipates positive campus reaction to the book. She says that students and faculty

have already expressed interest and gratitude around the project.

“I’m hoping it’ll have a good impact on the campus, but mostly on Black women. Our focus is for Black women to learn, to grow and to heal in this predominantly white space,” Hold said. “And

then for our allies to see this work and to change the kind of ways that they behave towards us.”

The Black Feminist Manifesto release party will be on Oct. 27.

Larimer Humane Society opens doors to new facility

By Jenn Yingling @jenn_yingling

Sheltered animals found a new residency in Larimer Humane Society’s new facility.

The Humane Society moved to a new, larger facility in Loveland over Labor Day weekend from their previous location on Kyle Avenue in Fort Collins.

According to their website, the building of the new facility was ten years in the making. After a successful tax initiative and a $2.1 million capital campaign, the Humane Society was able to move 117 animals to the new facility on Labor Day and opened its doors Sept. 5, according to Kaylene Weingardt, the marketing and community outreach manager.

“Our old shelter was over capacity from day one,” Weingardt said. “The old layout made it easier for disease to spread, had bad ventilation and made the animals more stressed.”

After being founded in 1969, Larimer Humane Society continued to serve the community in Fort Collins before their recent move to Loveland. They purchased the new land back in 2007.

The new facility is much larger and allows the animals to get more sunlight and fresh air.

The smallest kennel in the new shelter is 1.5 times larger than the kennels in the old shelter, according to Weingardt.

“We thought everything through to benefit the animals,” Weingardt said. “This shelter is larger, brighter, cleaner and more organized. The animals are much happier here.”

The property includes an adoption center, intake lobby, veterinary clinic, barn and a dog park open to the general public.

In addition, animals like cats have three separate housing areas, as well as enclosed outdoor spaces.

The facility’s new state of the art veterinary clinic is equipped with a new X-ray machine, something the old shelter lacked. The new intake lobby, which is where people can look for their lost pet or drop off a stray animal, now opens at 8 a.m. instead of 11 a.m.

According to their website, Larimer Humane Society is Northern Colorado’s largest open-admission animal care facility. The shelter takes in dogs, cats, small mammals and exotic animals.

On average, around 15 homeless animals are taken in daily and more than 2,800 companion animals are placed into homes

CRIME

annually, according to their website. Now, the Larimer Humane Society can house 80 percent more animals.

“We are open admission to any animal in need,” Weingardt said. “We take in a lot of strays, but a high percentage of those are successfully reunited with their owners.”

Larimer Humane Society is also home to the county’s only Animal Protection and Control unit, and reunites nearly 1,900 stray animals with their owners annually, according to their website.

Aside from taking in animals, the shelter also offers educational programming through summer camps, presentations, shelter tours and other activities for adults, teens and children. For this purpose, the facility includes rooms dedicated to community outreach.

“We strive to educate our community on the proper and responsible care and treatment of all animals, including how we coexist with wild animals,” their website states.

“I want people to know that we are here for the community,” Weingardt said.

Activist Christine Sleeter addresses FCPS investigates officer-involved shooting problems in ethnic studies curriculum

By Abby Currie @abcchic15

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office released information about an officer-involved shooting Sunday morning.

According to a Fort Collins Police video statement released on Twitter, the Fort Collins 9-1-1 dispatch received a call reporting a possible shot fired at the America’s Best Value Inn at 1809 N. College Avenue.

The caller said he heard a loud noise and a hole appeared in the ceiling above him and Fort Collins Police officers responded.

The officers tried to make contact with the suspect.

When the suspect opened the door wielding a firearm, an officer fired his weapon and struck the man, said the officer in the statement.

“The suspect is deceased,” the officer in the statement said. “No hotel occupants or officers were injured during the incident.”

According to a press re-

lease, the Larimer County Coroner’s Office will release the identity of the suspect at a later time.

The 8th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team was notified and has responded to take over the investigation.

The Loveland Police Department will be the lead investigating agency and the Larimer Sheriff’s Office will be the lead agency for public information, according to the press release.

According to the video release, no other information will be released at this time.

Updates will be released as information becomes available.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s office release asks anyone with information regarding the incident to call the Loveland Police Department Tip Line at 970-962-2032 or Crime Stoppers at 970-2216868 where you will remain anonymous and possible be eligible for a cash reward.

Activist Christine Sleeter is white, from a community with very little diversity, and she admitted she knew almost nothing about her student’s background when she began teaching in Seattle.

Sleeter, an author and a teacher in addition to activist, spoke about how the teaching of ethnic studies, or the lack thereof, can be improved. Sleeter spoke in the Lory Student Center Thursday night as part of Colorado State University’s week-long Diversity Symposium.

Sleeter emphasized the importance of having multicultural education and an ability to think critically about what other groups have to go through. She said in doing so, people will start to become agents of social change.

“I mean, we have a president who can’t even figure out how to get resources to Puerto Rico,” Sleeter said.

Sleeter said changes in teaching styles and curriculum can be an effective way to get students to think more critically about their

culture and the cultures of others.

School textbooks that are heavily focused on white perspectives are just one problem, according to Sleeter. Of those who teach K-12, 84 percent are white, Sleeter said; the combination can lead to classes that leave out important topics regarding multiple ethnic groups.

“The fragmented inclusion of people of color in the dominant curriculum leaves students of color feeling like, as Caroline Turner put it, guests in someone else’s house,” Sleeter said.

She said ethnic studies can give people the ability to address social problems. Sleeter said she wants to implement several strategies to create positive change in classrooms. Teachers need to treat students as intellectuals and develop strong relationships with them, according to Sleeter.

“Teaching involves collaboration with students, co-construction with students,” Sleeter said.

“It isn’t just sage on the stage giving knowledge to students.”

Freshman biochemistry student Matthew Funk said he could relate to a lot about what Sleeter talked about, as he went to an el-

ementary school where the majority of students were Latino. He said these topics should be articulated more at CSU where the demographic is dominantly white.

“These are issues that are important to understand and to be able to talk to each other about,” Funk said.

Funk said he agreed with a lot of the strategies Sleeter suggested regarding curriculum changes in K-12 schools, but thinks the logistics of implementing these changes could prove challenging.

Sleeter ended the evening with the idea that ethnic studies is not limited to one subject within a curriculum. She told a story of a former colleague, who wanted to infuse ethnic studies with his biology course. Her colleague wanted to examine how different world views influenced health and an understanding of science.

“It takes somebody looking at their discipline through an ethnic studies lens,” Sleeter said. “If you can make biology and ethnic studies go together, you can make everything go together.”

Damon A. Williams closes out CSU’s Diversity Symposium

By Zoe Jennings @zoe_jennings4

Before an institution can be considered excellent, it must be diverse and inclusive.

Speaking on how diversity can make institutions excellent in the Lory Student Center Theater, Damon A. Williams was the final keynote speaker for the Diversity Symposium at Colorado State University on Friday, Sept. 29.

During his talk, Williams addressed how universities face challenges with diversity because they tend to be resistant to change, are comprised of tenured faculty and staff and have trouble making change that is deep or transformative, he said.

However, these institutions are now home to the most diverse group of students ever. This diversity includes religion, sexuality, race and many other distinctions.

With this diversity, institutions

have the ability to be excellent, Williams said.

“When we take all that diversity and all those reasons why and they are so important, that’s why college universities really have to think about their inclusion agenda as a part of their excellence agenda and being relevant to the world we live in today,” Williams said Some innovations that Williams suggests are teaching classes on subjects that are relevant to our culture such as Drake or the Kardashian family and their impact on culture.

Universities can also make lasting change to create diversity by implementing accountability, incentives, infrastructure and resources. This growth must be spearheaded by courageous leaders who challenge the status quo, Williams said.

“Each and every leader has to find spaces where they are pas-

sionate,” Williams said.

Although there will be change from active leadership, there is no “magical bullet of diversity,” the process is slow and frustrating, Williams said.

After 17 years, the symposium has evolved since its creation.

Starting out as the one-day Diversity Summit, which was only open to select groups around campus, the Diversity Symposium grew this year to include 56 sessions, four keynote speakers, over 120 presenters and over 40 volunteers, according to Alicia Sprague, training coordinator for the Office of the Vice President for Diversity.

The goals for the symposium, which are overarching goals for the office, included education of CSU and the broader community, providing research opportunities about diversity and to communicate and live CSU’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.

“Diversity inclusion is something that touches on every single facet of our lives and every discipline that CSU has,” Sprague said.

Williams, who coined the idea of an “inclusive excellence,” was chosen to be one of the keynote speakers due to his innovative work with diversity. CSU itself has used his work in their diversity initiatives.

“A lot of our work here is based on the model that he helped to create, so it’s pretty neat to be able to bring him in to campus and to help us really kick off these larger efforts to make our campus more welcoming and inclusive for everyone,” Sprague said.

Williams holds a doctorate in organizational behavior and management. Williams has served as the senior vice president of the Boys and Girls Club of America and founded the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Educational

Richardson Design Center encourages new beginnings

Achievement and was vice provost and chief diversity officer at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He authored “Strategic Diversity Leadership: Activating Change and Transformation In Higher Education.”

“I’m feeling Ram tough right now,” Williams said. “I really enjoyed the Ram community today.”

Maria Fernandez-Gimenez is a professor of forest and rangeland stewardship at CSU. She is currently working on in the department and in her professional scientific association to cultivate diversity.

“It’s really inspiring and helpful to hear someone who has clearly such a deep understanding and experience and who also can communicate in a very engaging way,” Fernandez-Gimenez said. “He is real and also hopeful.”

Design and merchandise students can anticipate moving into a new building for their classes within the next academic year.

The project for the Richardson Design Center started in 2013, led

by Nancy Richardson, a CSU alumna of the class of 1982 with a degree in interior design.

Richardson, who co-founded OtterBox and Blue Ocean Enterprises with husband Curt Richardson, said that students and faculty were involved in the vision of an iconic building early on. That idea of collaboration, inspired by the Richardson’s experience with constructing the OtterBox facilities in Fort Collins, drives much of the project’s vision.

Laura Malinin, assistant professor and program coordinator of the design and merchandising department, shared the four concepts of the project – intersectionality, transparency, heart and inspiration – along with the architectural design concept plans with students and faculty members of the department at the ceremonial groundbreaking Sept. 27.

“The building is at an angle, and that’s very intentional ... the idea (of intersections) is to draw people in,” Malinin said. “There was a lot of interest in having a building that students felt belonged to them ... a building with heart.”

The facility is a collaboration between Saunders Construction, Oz Architecture, Salt Design and the Colorado State University facility team. Although the design develop-

ment phase is expected to be completed within one to two weeks, construction of the facility’s foundation is ready to begin.

The current construction schedule anticipates completion in December 2018, with the department of design and merchandising moving into the building in January 2019. At that time Alyesworth Hall, current home to the design program, will be demolished and the location will be repurposed for multi-use space, according to Dean Jeff McCubbin of the College of Health and Human Sciences.

Richardson and her husband Curt pledged $8.1 million to the design facility, whose total cost will be $16.5 million. The University has indicated that the remaining funds are to be raised though donations and is offering the opportunity to name interior spaces. Malinin also indicated that the department will be writing grants in order to fund design equipment for student labs.

Currently, the third floor of the building is not within the scope of the project due to a lack of funding.

Malinin emphasized that the project is still evolving and encourages community input.

The building, which is now targeting LEED Silver certification, originally aimed to achieve Gold certification as the minimum standard of this program, according to early design plans released in 2015.

The construction will entail two major buildings, with a variety of spaces for students including a courtyard, outside display pad for student projects, and “Inspiration

Alley,” a space that runs between the two buildings, where wide windows will allow for passerby to glimpse into ongoing projects. Inside will hold design labs aimed at encouraging exploration, such as an ideation lab, space for design prototyping, a resource library and a wood and metal shop. Though the facility is built primarily to support students of the design program, it will be open to everyone.

Students like Jordan Rodriquez, a senior interior design major, said she was excited at the new level of collaboration the Richardson Center will facilitate.

“Being able to work with other design students ... and just see how everything overlaps is really exciting,” Rodriquez said. “Right now, interior design is separated from (other disciplines), even though we’re all creative minds.”

Part of Richardson’s vision focuses on an element beyond the building itself: a new curriculum to be taught within it. Dean McCubbin indicated that curriculum planning has been on-going, with faculty sessions this past summer and in addition to ongoing student focus groups.

“The grand vision is that the CSU design center would become a nationally and world recognized center ... with a superior plan and location,” Richardson said. “This building is for you. This is my handing the baton to (the next generation of design students).”

Football players earn their job, it’s not a privilege Mack Beaulieu @Macknz_james

Editor’s note: The views and opinions in this article are solely of the author and does not reflect an official view of the Collegian or it’s editorial board Donald Trump has had a lot to say about the NFL over the last couple of weeks. Almost every day since he called Americans who were exercising their right to protest, “sons-a-b*tches,” he’s had something to say about the NFL or its players. The most ridiculous aspect of this entire situation is the notion that these players are ‘privileged’ to play in the NFL. NFL players earned the right to work in their profession and, while that comes with privilege, privilege is not why they are there.

Trump said we should fire

‘Take a Knee’ movement. b*tches” during a rally. anyone who doesn’t stand for the anthem, after he said that 12 percent of the NFL took a knee and 23 percent of them did not stand for the national anthem, according to Darren Rovel of ESPN. It would be a lot of trouble to replace all those players without losing quality in the NFL. The same can be said for workers at the top of any profession.

Most NFL players don’t grow up privileged, especially the players that Trump’s comments are directed toward. A census study reveals that about 50 percent of NFL players come from areas of high poverty rates. The Denver Broncos self-reported themselves last year as 51 percent being from the lower side of the income scale.

SERIOUSLY

Privilege isn’t something you’ve worked your whole life to get. It’s something you get because of the position you were already in, when you earn a job, you get the privileges that come with it. The job itself is not a privilege.

When you google privilege, the first dictionary cited definition of privilege is as follows: “ a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.”

Businesses cannot thrive without qualified employees.

That’s what NFL players are, the few people qualified to be in the NFL. Privilege implies something is given, but there is always an exchange between employee

and employer. Of course NFL players have advantages after they get to the NFL, but if playing in the NFL is just a privilege, then we’re playing fast and loose with what we think is granted in this world. No matter what profession you’re in, you have to do the work to get to the top.

While some people do have advantages, or privileges, given to them in getting a job, that’s the case more often with other groups than it is with young black men. That demographic is what makes up the majority of players Donald Trump is tweeting about and calling privileged.

Using the word privilege in reference to NFL players is a way of, as Stephen Curry said, minimizing their opinions because

they have money. As if their money prevents them from seeing racial matters clearly. The people who believe this rhetoric are the same people who think Donald Trump can relate to them.

Privilege is earned by NFL players through the money that comes with being in their position, but calling them privileged just to have a job is an insult to them and anyone else who earns their job somewhere. For the most part no one gives out places at the top of any profession.

As Americans, we’re suppose to earn our keep. We need to give credit where credit is due.

Mike Bobo caught using College students put grades over learning coach-enhancing drugs after Hawaii game Tianna Zachariah

By Ty Betts @tybetts9

Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from the Collegians opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not like reading editor’s notes are subject to being offended.

Fort Collins — Colorado State head football coach, Mike Bobo, has been placed on temporary leave following the Rams football win against Hawaii.

The newly developed drug goes by the name “coacheroids,” and elevates the user’s coaching ability to unnatural levels. The drug triggers hormones in the body that dramatically improves half-time speeches, play-calling, strategy and overall charisma.

“Bobo is the best coach I’ve ever had,” said a player, who has chosen to remain anonymous. “But I never would have thought it was because he was taking drugs. It’s disappointing.”

Competitor schools are speaking out about CSU and the injustice Bobo caused to their games. Abilene Christian

head coach Adam Dorrel is outraged by the advantage the CSU team had.

“We’d have won the game if Bobo’s play calling wasn’t so damn genius,” Dorrel said.

“Now I know how he did it.”

It is not certain how long Bobo has been using the drugs, but quarterback Nick Stevens said he noticed a change in Bobo near the start of the season.

“I can’t explain it, he just became like one of those coaches you would see in the movies,” Stevens said. “Have you ever seen ‘Remember the Titans?

That’s Bobo, man.’”

For now, the University, as well as the NCAA are continuing their investigation and will soon decide if Bobo should be permanently terminated from coaching. CSU president Tony Frank conveyed his disapproval of these actions in a statement Tuesday.

“Winning football games is the single most important thing to this school, but not if it means sacrificing our integrity … makes me sick,” Frank said.

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board.

Students take grades way too seriously; we focus more on getting the diploma, than learning the information.

Students constantly worry about what format the exam is going to be, what questions are going to be on it, and how to get extra credit to avoid that dreaded minus.

School should be about learning the material, yet somehow grades have taken the spotlight. Focusing too much on grades is detrimental because it distracts students from the learning process and causes them to take advantage of the learning experience.

Don’t get me wrong, grades are important. It is the first thing people look at when deciding admissions. It is one of the first things recruiters look at to choose potential new hires. And obviously, graduation will not happen with constant class failures. There are standards for education that are supposed to encourage learning,

but sometimes they fall short.

We all want to be successful, and we won’t be unless we know what we are talking about. A diploma means nothing, unless we have the KSA’s (knowledge, skills, and abilities) an employer is looking for. If we are so focused on getting the grade, we spend less time learning and applying knowledge and more time figuring out how to work the system. This will not serve us in the long run because we will not actually be qualified for the jobs that we actually want.

Going through the motions has become the new norm for college students. Mindlessly attending class, robotically take notes, and obsessing over grades is the norm because we think it means success. They don’t. The grading system is just a benchmark of progress, and we students are experts at skewing that data.

Being so focused on the numbers can distract from learning the information needed to succeed.

The majority of us are here because college is a stepping stone to what comes next. Learning is supposed to be something we are passionate about and something fun.

According to a New York Times article, “edutainment” combines aspects of education and entertainment into products and experiences that seek to improve learning by making it not just painless but also pleasurable.

People love learning. TED talks and free edX courses are a couple examples of edutainment that engage over billions of people.

College students get to experience first class learning, and we so often take it for granted.

As one of the most developed countries, US college students get the opportunity to partake in education that millions of kids around the world would kill for. Because we are constantly stressing and putting pressure on ourselves to achieve the highest grades, we don’t even get to really enjoy this opportunity.

We obsess over grades because we long for the sense of security they provide and the opportunities they may unlock. We love the title and status that comes with any educational degree. But, if we can’t actually do anything with that information, the degree is worthless.

It is possible to fail a class and still be successful. Everything learned is information we are better off for having, because it is information we didn’t have before. Focusing less on grades and more on actual learning will benefit us as individuals and society at large. Grades are important, but they should not take priority over learning.

Rams rock Rainbow Warriors in conference opener FOOTBALL

Despite having dominated the series for the last two decades, Colorado State football entered the matchup with Hawaii knowing that they could not take the Rainbow Warriors lightly. The Rams went into Aloha Stadium and took care of business Saturday night, handily defeating the home team 51-21, and bringing the winning streak over Hawaii to seven games.

Eight receptions for 212 yards and one TD

Coming off the bye week, the Rams were well rested, and it showed, as CSU truly dominated every aspect of the game. From start to finish, the Rams were able to do whatever they wanted, leading the game in its entirety and never giving the Warriors

a chance to establish some momentum in front of the home fans.

While the Hawaii offense started with three straight threeand-out possessions, CSU went down the field three straight times for touchdown scores.

The Rams got the action started with drives of 60, 61 and 56 yards respectively. The first two were capped off with 30+ yard scores from senior wide receiver Detrich Clark while tight end Dalton Fackrell worked his way into the mix as well with a two-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter.

“I was really proud of our whole team and the way we started the game,” head coach Mike Bobo said. “We wanted to start fast. We used the word ‘dominate’ all week. Not to dominate with our play, but to dominate with our focus, and I love how we started the game.”

In the process, senior quarterback Nick Stevens passed Moses Moreno in all-time career touchdown passes with 52.

Stevens is now second all-time in program history, trailing only Garrett Grayson (64).

After scoring on each of their first five possessions of the game, CSU took a 31-7 lead into halftime. By the end of the first 30 minutes, CSU outgained Hawaii by over 100 yards and executed six more third down conversions.

The second half was more of

the same for Bobo’s offense. Senior wide receiver Michael Gallup opened up the third quarter with two receptions for 50 yards and running back Dalyn Dawkins capitalized on the momentum, capping off the drive with a 19-yard rushing touchdown.

Izzy Matthews added nine carries for 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns. In the fourth quarter, the junior running back broke off a 66-yard touchdown to put the final nail in Hawaii’s coffin. The run was the longest of his collegiate career.

Gallup finished the contest with eight receptions for 212 yards and one touchdown. Clark also had a big night with two receptions for 74 yards and a pair of

touchdowns. Dawkins led all ball carriers with 130 yards, the first Ram to go over the century mark in a single game in 2017.

Stevens totaled 348 yards through the air Saturday night.

He finished the game 16-of-20 for 348 yards and four touchdowns.

The Colorado State offense as a whole finished the game with 610 total yards. In the game, CSU finished an efficient 6-of-9 on third down and scored on its first seven offensive possessions.

The victory over the Rainbow Warriors (2-3) was the Rams’ first of Mountain West play and the first in a conference opener since 2011. It was also their largest victory over Hawaii since 1997 when they defeated the Warriors 63-0.

CSU (3-2) will look to carry the momentum into next week’s matchup with Utah State in Logan, Utah on Saturday, Oct. 7. The game with the Aggies is scheduled for kickoff at 2:30 p.m.

SOCCER

CSU falls to Fresno State after rain delay

By Christian Hendrick @ChristianHCSU

Three unanswered goals from Fresno State in the second half sent the Bulldogs to a 3-1 victory over the Colorado State women’s soccer team in Sunday’s rain delayed match at the CSU Soccer Field.

CSU midfielder Caeley Lor-

demann opened the scoring in the 27th minute by drilling home a Janelle Stone crossing pass from inside the penalty area, the last of a series of terrific passes that led to the score.

“I think the whole goal in general was just very good,” Lordemann said. “We started on one side of the field and finished on the other. And I

thought it was a majority of teamwork, not just me.”

Lordemann led the Rams with five shots in Sunday’s game, an area CSU coach Hempen believes the transfer sophomore can continue to excel in.

“We want her (Lordemann) to shoot because she can,” Hempen said. “There’s some that attempt shots and it’s not in their bag, but she’s got a lot of different things in her bag. She can bend balls, she can clip balls in behind defenders. She’s quite a good player.”

FSU responded in the 63rd minute by jumping on a CSU turnover and setting up Myra Delgadillo for her third tally of the season. At this point in the match, the two sides were neck and neck, mirroring each other in scoring opportunities and goals on the rainy CSU Soccer Field. All that changed in the 75th minute when rain gave way to lightning and the 1-1 game halted until the strikes ceased.

Both teams went into the locker rooms for over an hour,

but the Bulldogs came out of the delay playing like a completely different team.

In the 78th minute, FSU forced a throw-in in the CSU defensive zone. The Bulldogs worked the ball to the far side of the pitch and delivered a pass across the goalmouth to an open Carly Brecken. The pass forced CSU goalie Hunter Peifer to move right to left, leaving the FSU forward with an open net to take a 2-1 lead.

Moments later, Lordemann made a terrific individual effort to break into the FSU penalty area and tie up the score, but the ball rang off the crossbar.

FSU collected Lordemann’s rebound and immediately carried the ball back into the CSU penalty area. Senior Peyton Cline worked the ball to Julia Glaser on a cross and then Lörrach, a Germany native tallied her seventh goal of the season.

“We’ve been good defensively, but that little onslaught after the rain delay was just shocking to me,” Hempen said.

After the game, Hempen equated playing through the

delay like playing in overtime, an area the Rams have struggled so far this season.

“I told the girls it almost felt like overtime,” Hempen said.

“If we look at it that way, the last two games we’ve given up goals pretty early in overtime.

That’s something that we as a staff have to address.”

Fresno State’s offensive resurgence following the weather delay put Sunday’s game out of reach for the Rams.

Despite the loss, Lordemann is pleased with the way her team competed through the unusual circumstances.

“I thought we played really well,” Lordemann said. “I mean obviously the rain delay kind of messed us up, so now we just have to bounce back from it, but I thought we fought hard today.”

The Rams head to Nevada to take on UNLV on Friday at 6 p.m. before wrapping up the week with Nevada on Sunday at 2 p.m.

VOLLEYBALL

Rams block their way to conference sweep

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

A successful trip down I-25 kept No. 24 Colorado State volleyball undefeated in conference play as they swept Air Force on Saturday afternoon (25-21, 25-19, 25-19).

With a target on their back, the Rams continued their domination over the Air Force Academy, a matchup that has favored the Rams heavily. In a season that has seen the Rams go 4-0 to this point in conference, the Falcons have been held without a win and continue to fall in the conference standings.

Jumping out to a large lead in the first set, the Rams allowed the Falcons to get back in the set with a 5-0 run that put them up 11-10. Despite the setback, the Rams cruised to win the set on a kill by Jasmine Hanna. The first set would wind up being the least competitive of the sets, and the Rams were pushed constantly by the Falcons defensive pressure.

Throughout the match, Katie Oleksak spread the ball around and allowed multiple hitters to get involved. Even with Breana Runnels struggling, the Rams were still able

to attack the middle of the Falcons defense and allow Paulina Hougaard-Jensen and Kirstie Hillyer to find their groove.

The two middles rotated often with Alexandra Poletto sitting out the first two sets. The Rams took advantage of their distinct height mismatch on both sides of the ball.

“We thought we had a good matchup,” coach Tom Hilbert said. “We (also) thought we had a good matchup with the slides, but I thought they did a pretty

good job of handling our slides.

We were not in system as much as I wanted to be and (Air Force) did a good job defensively on our outside hitters.”

The middles of the Rams worked double duty as they also led the Rams to 11 total blocks.

The blocking display paid off as the Falcons were only able to muster a .058 hitting percentage in the match, including a lowly .143 for the Falcons leading hitter, Abigail Miksch. Despite a total of 21 attempts, Miksch

was unable to develop a rhythm or make an impact in the match.

Miksch landed awkwardly in the second set and the Falcons were forced to run their offense through Denise Ssozi who was unable to find any more success than her teammate in her 32 attempts (-.156). “(Miksch) was a focus of ours,” Hilbert said. “But we let (Cambria Galloway) go and she had a great match so that is the price you pay sometimes.”

Air Force pushed the Rams constantly in each set, despite the large margin in scoring.

The Falcons forced many long volleys and were able to dig up nearly every Runnels attempt.

Coming into the match, the Rams knew they had a dog fight on their hands as they do every time they play the Falcons and showed their resiliency despite losing almost every long rally.

Emphasizing ball movement through Oleksak is a normal routine for the Rams, and it was on full display in Colorado Springs. Six hitters for the Rams were able to register multiple kills, and five were given double-digit opportunities.

“Coach (Hilbert) really got everyone in on practice,” Oleksak said. “We were really work-

ing on the middles and who would start so that was really competitive. When we came out, we mixed up the middles again and I think that helped.”

The Rams will head into their showdown with their biggest conference foe, Boise State, with a renewed confidence following wins in every match since their hard-fought loss to the University of Colorado. Among the many lessons learned to this point in the conference schedule, the Rams will look to count down on their errors that allow opponents to hang around, a lethal combination when facing a team like the Broncos.

“We had 11 errors,” Sanja Cizmic said. “I think that was our biggest problem in the match. That is why we did not get as many blocks as we wanted.”

The Rams will travel to Boise for their match Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. Boise State is currently tied with the Rams at 4-0 atop the standings. Given the disparity of talent in the conference, the game could go a long way in deciding the regular season champion.

CSU club hockey drops two games at home

By Evan Grant @EvanNGrant

The Colorado State club hockey team endured a tough weekend on the ice as they lost two home games against Eastern Michigan and Utah. The Rams lost to Eastern Michigan 4-1 on Friday night before suffering a heartbreaking loss to Utah in the final 10 seconds of the game on Saturday.

WEEKEND RECAP ■ Friday, Sept. 29

vs. Eastern Michigan: Loss, 4-1

■ Saturday, Sept 30

vs. Utah: Loss, 4-3

■ Next: Thursday, Oct.5

at Missouri State

In the first game, Eastern Michigan took a quick 2-0 lead in the first period. The Eagles continued to build on their lead adding two more goals in the second period before the Rams finally responded with a goal from Ben Joseph. Through the rest of the third period, the Rams fought hard to bring the game back, but ultimately came up with short in the losing effort.

“We took a lot of penalties during the game, and they hurt us, and we fell behind, and then we weren’t able to come back,” CSU head coach Jeff Degree

said.

The second game was a closer affair for the Rams as they took on the Skatin’ Utes. Utah converted on a power play early and added a second goal just minutes later to take a 2-0 lead at the end of the first.

The Rams responded with a goal from Austin Ansay in the second to cut Utah’s lead to one.

Kyle Riley added another goal in the frame to tie the game 2-2.

Before the end of the period, though, Utah netted its third goal of the game to take a onegoal advantage into the final period.

After failing to trim the lead for most of the third period, Ansay scored his second goal of the game with less than a minute remaining. The elation was shortlived, however, as Utah scored the game-winner in the final five seconds of the game to secure the 4-3 victory.

“We were the better team most of the game,” Degree said.

“The result was upsetting, we outshot them by a lot, and we felt we deserved to win, but sometimes things happen and you just have to keep going forward.”

CSU is back in action on Oct. 6 as they travel to Springfield, Mo. to battle Missouri State.

Rockies clinch first playoff spot since 2009 as Cardinals eliminate Brewers

By Patrick Saunders The Denver Post

Nolan Arenado stood in the Rockies clubhouse late Saturday night, soaked in a playoff cocktail of champagne and Coors Light.

“This is impossible to explain, the greatest feeling in the world,” the all-star third baseman said, his eyes red, but happy. “When we won the WBC (World Baseball Classic) I wore goggles, but I told myself if I ever made it with the Rockies. I wouldn’t wear goggles. I wanted to feel the burn.”

He got his wish.

All around him, teammates, coaches and staff partied like they had won the World Series.

That goal is a quantum leap of faith into the future, but the Rockies are going back to the postseason.

The clinching moment came Saturday afternoon as the Rockies watched on TV from their then-dry clubhouse as St. Louis rallied from a 6-0 deficit to beat Milwaukee 7-6 at Busch Stadium, eliminating the Brewers (85-76) and landing the Rockies in playoffs for the first time since 2009.

“This is what we have been working so hard for, and for such a long time,” said center fielder Charlie Blackmon, who has set a major-league record with 102 RBIs from the leadoff spot. “This is what you dream about as kids. We were just asking for a chance, and we sneaked in there, just under the wire. I wouldn’t have it any other way, to be honest.”

Under the steerage of firstyear manager Bud Black, the Rockies earned the National League’s second wild-card spot, wiping out six consecutive seasons of losing baseball.

Fans at Coors Field who turned out early for the game between the Rockies and Dodgers watched the final outs of the Brewers’ game on the giant video board above the left-field stands. The fans let out a cheer when Cardinals reliever Juan Nicasio, the former Rockies starter, struck out the Brewers’ Brett Phillips on a full-count fastball.

The Rockies (87-74) will now play at Arizona (92-69) at 6:08 p.m. (MDT) Wednesday at Chase Field. The winner of the Rockies-Diamondbacks onegame playoff will advance to the NL division series against the

Dodgers beginning Friday in Los Angeles.

The Rockies lost 5-3 to the Dodgers on Saturday night, but it didn’t matter.

“This is the best year of my life,” right fielder Carlos Gonzalez said, who embraced about every person he came in contact with as the carpet inside the clubhouse soaked up the suds.

Gonzalez is the only member of the current Rockies who played for the 2009 club that lost to Philadelphia in the NLDS. “Eight years later? That’s crazy,” Gonzalez said. “It shows you it doesn’t matter all the talent you have, it’s all about being on the same page. Everybody has been pulling for each other since Day One. “We believed we were a really good team. Sometimes, it’s just that simple for some players. You know, ‘Hey, you’re good.

You can beat anybody.’ “ On Wednesday, Colorado will try to do just that. It’s likely starter will be right-hander Jon Gray (10-4, 3.67 ERA), who’ll have to match Diamondbacks right-hander Zack Greinke

(17-7, 3.20), a former Cy Young Award winner.

The 2017 season has not been an easy road for the Rockies.

They got out of the blocks quickly, as they often do, holding down first place in the NL West as late as June 20 when they had a 47-26 record. But are only 3534 since the all-star break. Their season was saved by a six-game winning streak through Los Angeles and Arizona from Sept.

7-12.

Colorado’s charge to the postseason was led by Arenado and Blackmon, both legitimate NL MVP candidates. They have 37 home runs apiece, and Blackmon has 104 RBIs -- including 103, a major- league record, as a leadoff hitter.

This will be the first postseason appearance for Black, who managed San Diego from 2007 into part of 2015.

“I told you guys a long time ago that I thought this was possible,” Black said. “I knew that we had some good young starting pitching to develop. And I tell you what, I felt good about

our bullpen in spring training, the veteran aspect of it. And they had to do it for six months, but it came together.”

When Black was introduced as the seventh manager in Rockies history last Nov. 7, he said: “I’m excited about this group of players and this franchise and where it’s headed.

There’s a couple of teams we need to chase down, which I think we’re gonna.”

The Rockies didn’t do that, finishing behind both the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks in the division, but they made huge strides, particularly on the mound.

The Rockies had a 4.91 ERA in 2016, tied with Cincinnati for 13th out of 15 National League teams. Arizona, with a 5.09 ERA, was the only club that pitched worse.

Colorado’s bullpen was its Achilles’ heel. The Rockies blew 28 saves and their 5.13 bullpen ERA was the worst in baseball and the worst for the Rockies since 2004.

This season, behind a corps of rookie starters that included

German Marquez, Kyle Freeland, Antonio Senzatela and Jeff Hoffman, Colorado’s starters entered Saturday with a 4.58 ERA, ninth in the NL. The bullpen, anchored by new closer Greg Holland and his 41 saves, through Friday had whittled its ERA down to 4.37 and blew only 14 saves.

Gray, who will be counted on to quiet Arizona’s potent lineup Wednesday, has come into his own. He has made 13 consecutive starts allowing three runs or fewer, the secondlongest such-streak in franchise history.

General manager Jeff Bridich, the architect of the 2017 team, said: “This is so gratifying for the organization because of the hard work of everybody.

We set certain goals, not just for this year, but in years past, that we’ve been able to achieve.

“It’s a step-by-step process, but to see this come to fruition, to see these guys celebrate, to see these guys party like this, that’s what’s most gratifying.”

FORT COLLINS LIFE

Music District celebrates year of community

By Mack Beaulieu @Macknz_James

After one year of cultivating the artistic community in Fort Collins, The Music District had a reason to celebrate.

The Surround Sound Bash was held this past Saturday. Held on the fourbuilding campus in Old Town, the party celebrated The Music District’s first year of operation. The event featured live performances and other music related events designed to give insight into what The Music District provides for local artists.

The district has been running for a year under the mission to connect musicians, cultivate talent and encourage professional growth among musicians. The Music District is helping create a new, more inclusive path to success for

Fort Collins artists with a variety of collaborative ideas and programs.

The district primarily focuses on ensuring artists have the ability to work while pursuing their dream in music.

Some of that comes with helping artists to get gigs, but it goes beyond that to things like helping set up lessons for artist to teach or being an employee of The Music District.

The Music District is located at 639 S. College Ave. Diego Felix is 2017 Colorado State University graduate who DJs under the name Full Metal. He is an employee of the Music District. Some of his work includes social media, working the front desk and tutoring kids. Pegged as a utility player for Saturday night’s

event, Felix does a little bit of everything.

He has performed at private parties, the Lincoln Center, South by Southwest and other festivals like FoCoMX. While Felix has done a lot of the work himself, he credits The Music District with helping him set up a few of those events on top of the regular work they provide, he said.

Beyond the work comes collaboration, which The Music District provides in a multitude of ways. The organization offers an artist residency program and the Musician’s Help Desk.

The Musician’s Help Desk is a round-table type discussion and workshop that the Music District holds every Tuesday on a different topic with people in the music industry. The discussion is not only open to the public, but is

live streamed by KRFC. It will soon be available as a podcast so it can expand to as many people as possible, according to station manager James Lopez, who was giving tours of his station Saturday night. Over the last year, KRFC has been able to expand with the help of The Music District and is an initial outlet for local artists trying to get their first radio time.

Aside from everything they offer locally, residencies also offer the opportunity for local artist to collaborate with national acts. Blind Pilot and Elephant Revival are a couple of the nationally touring acts that have taken residency on the district’s campus, where they rehearse and use the district’s resources in exchange for community involvement.

While Blind pilot were at the Music District they took DJ

lessons and singing bowls lessons, said event coordinator Kebrina Chirdon.

“They fully entrenched themselves in the Fort Collins community while they were here for two weeks,” Chirdon said. “That’s really what we’re looking for.”

This kind of community cultivates collaboration between artists. Edison and Kind Dub, who met at the music district, now they play together, including a show they recently performed at Red Rocks. Blind Pilot collaborated on a song with local band Danielle Ate the Sandwich as well, according to director Jesse Elliot.

Saturday night’s festivities culminated and celebrated all that The Music District has done in its first year of community building.

The cutest corgis to strut at Tour de Corgi

By Miranda Moses @mirandsrad

This Saturday, one of the most magical events to grace Fort Collins commenced for its third year. Hundreds of little fuzzy dog loafs dressed in assorted tiny costumes strutted their stuff through Old Town while hundreds of fans shouted and cried over their puffy little butts during Tour de Corgi.

The much-anticipated corgi parade has come and gone this year, with many heartbroken, riddled with post-corgi-parade-depression, and many regretful that they were either out

Corgis >> from page 1 completely creative, prettiest pooch, baddest to the bone, funniest furry, greatest group, cutest couple and like human, like corgi. Winners were awarded dog-oriented prizes.

Participators in the corgi parade and the costume contest were encouraged to register on the official Tour De Corgi website or at an official booth on the day of the event.

Registration included a $5 donation, and those who donated received a Tour De Corgi

of town or unable to attend due to something far less important than herds of dogs with stubby sausage legs taking over Fort Collins. Thankfully, the festivity did not go on without being well documented. Here are some of the cutest corgis that attended the fundraiser this year for those who are having an emotional time after the event.

Matilda, the “It” Dog Matilda’s owner, Carly Rinehardt, says Matilda’s outfit was inspired by “It,” the recent Stephen King remake that hit theaters early this fall and made everyone need a doggy bag.

Matilda dressed as the character Georgie, complete with a yellow raincoat and rain boots.

“She kinda starts to panic when I start to put the boots on her,” Rinehardt said. “She kinda freezes, sort of like a deer-in-theheadlights sort of situation. And once they are on, she kinda gets excited about it because it gives her traction. She gallops around my apartment, and it is the funniest sound. It sounds like I have a tiny horse in my apartment. I love it.”

Matilda enjoys eating earthworms and walking around the Colorado State University campus.

Clementine, the cool dog Clementine showed up to Tour de Corgi with a simple look that included tiny doggy sunglasses that wrapped around her tiny head in a goggle-like fashion. Although one may think that Clementine’s fashionable look is specific to the corgi parade, the dog’s mom, Anna Otto, assured everyone that Clementine is quite the suave puppy who likes to wear her chic, tan sunglasses on a regular basis.

“We all wear sunglasses,” Otto said. “So she has to be just as cool as we are. She likes them,

and they protect her eyes from the sun.”

Clementine will be four in December and shedding is her biggest hobby.

Alex, the loaf The similarity between corgis and loafs of bread is absolutely uncanny. Corgi mom Taylor Preston acknowledged that her own dog was no exception to this comparison, and thus decided to use the similarities to dress her pup in an unforgettable gettup.

The dog, adorned in plastic, took on the corgi costume contest dressed as a loaf of white Wonder Bread, an outfit that catered to dog lovers and bread lovers alike.

“He is a loaf,” Preston said.

“He loafs about. His hobby? It is being a loaf.”

Alex is a momma’s boy, he is often described as a “cuddle bug” and he loves agility. He used to be a show dog, and now is a retired champion.

Winnie, the skunk With Winnie’s black and white colors already matching the animal perfectly, dog owner Debbie Stalnaker decided to dress her short dog as a skunk this year at the corgi parade.

Winnie has a passion of squeaky toys and often lies on her back and swims.

“She has incredible biceps,” Stalmaker said.

Franky, the Yoda dog Maria Singleton proudly wore “Star Wars” garb to appropriately match her beloved granddog, Franky, who attended the event dressed in a Yoda costume. Even without the costume, Singleton believes that Franky looks like Yoda daily due to the fuzzy corgi’s giant ears.

“She is also a very zen and a peaceful dog, seriously,” Singleton said. “We figured out that she is really essentially just a

tube that eats.”

Franky’s hobbies include barking at the sky and eating literally anything, even plastic.

In her free time, the corgi likes to wear an argyle sweater and play bingo. The argyle sweater is worn to intimidate the other bingo players.

MeauxJo, the cow Corgi owner Nadia Naqvi utilized the cow onesie she already owned as inspiration to dress her furry friend, MeauxJo the corgi, as a fuzzier, tinier cow, so that the two could match on the day of the corgi parade. Although MeauxJo’s outfit lacked utters, the look still made those who passed by gasp in reaction to the cuteness that radiated from his wiggly body. The outfit did include pink ears and a long, spotted tail.

“He’s two years old, and he loves to run,” Naqvi said. “He’s really, really fast.”

MeauxJo is quite brave, and likes to chase big dogs. His favorite thing is chew toys and he is often caught sleeping on human beds.

Mercedes, the baby Mercedes, an itty-bitty corgi, is five months old and attended

the event with her family, including her corgi big brother, Jack. Jack rode around in a baby stroller during the festivities while Mercedes chilled in the arms of her parents. The baby dog did not come to the event in costume but did wear a festive bandana. Tour de Corgi was her first public event, and her parents were not sure what to expect of Mercedes, but she was a good girl all day long.

“She is a digger and a napper,” said Mercedes’ dad, Ryan Folkers. “When she is not napping, she is running around the house doing laps.”

Mercedes gets along with her brother, but she does enjoy picking on him.

Those who attended Tour de Corgi and participated in the parade and the costume contest were encouraged to register and make a $5 donation. All proceeds of the event went to the Wyoming Dachshund and Corgi Rescue and 4 Paws Pet Pantry.

T-shirts that benefit the event and its causes are still available on the Tour De Corgi Website.

wristband. Official Tour De Corgi T-shirts were available to purchase upon online registration and continue to be available online for $30 to $32.

Proceeds from the event went to non-profit organizations including the Wyoming Dachshund and Corgi Rescue and 4 Paws Pet Pantry.

The event began unofficially three years ago, originally existing as a small Corgi meet up organized on Facebook, said Tracy Stewart, a founding member of the Tour De Corgi Committee.

“Some of the people who came were people that I knew, which is who I expected might come, but then hundreds of

people came,” Stewart said. “It went viral on Facebook. So, the Tour De Corgi Committee is just those people who are willing to donate their time and effort and energy into putting on the event.”

Stewart also said that the many organizations and sponsoring vendors that held booths at Tour De Corgi this year made the event unique.

Some booths present included Wagz Pet Marker & Grooming, Sherwood Pet Portraits, W.O.L.F Sanctuary, Cosmic Corgi, Revolution Artisan Pops and Ivan’s All Natural Doggie Delights, a doggie food truck.

Stewart said the event is getting better each year and

that the affair will continue to be a part of Fort Collins next year. This year, upon registration, participants were provided with a map of the parade, which commenced at noon, to keep dogs and owners from getting lost or confused on the parade route through Old Town.

The availability of the route on the Tour De Corgi website caused hundreds of dog-passionate people to line up along the route in true parade fashion to watch the stubby dogs in outrageously cute costumes waddle through the streets.

After the festivities ended at 3 p.m., corgis remained scattered around town on restaurant patios and sticking their

faces out of car windows.

“We love this corgi event because it helps us to counteract all the negativity in the nation right now,” said Maria Singleton, who brought her granddog, Franky, dressed as Yoda, to the event. “You come to this, and you cannot help but smile and be happy.”

‘Three Sisters’ experiences rough opening night at UCA

Opening nights almost always feature minor flubs. This was the case Friday night at the University Center for the Arts.

A moderate audience gathered for Colorado State University Theatre’s production of “Three Sisters,” a play by Anton Chekov. While it was enjoyable in many areas, the opening night jitters got the best of the cast and crew.

The play is about three sisters who live in small Russian town who dream about moving to the big city, Moscow, and living a more exciting life.

There were several

hilarious moments, many of which can be attributed to CSU student Charlie Hart in his role as Kulygin. His entrances and short exclamations broke the dramatic tension of several scenes and let the audience relax.

REMAINING SHOW DATES “Three Sisters” will be performed Oct. 2 through Oct. 8 at the University Theatre in the University Center for the Arts.

It is free for students.

Other moments in the evening did not go as planned. A

bottle of liquid spilled across the stage just minutes before a container of sugar cubes was flung from the table and spilled all over. This broke the flow of the scene.

The first two acts were somewhat stiff and stagnant.

However, after intermission, the cast seemed to relax and add in the dynamics that were lacking in the first half.

CSU student Annabel Wall played Natasha, the character everyone loved to hate. As she relaxed into her role, she added a level of sass to her scenes that brought them to life and made them more relatable to the audience.

CSU student Kelsey Rich-

ards was perhaps the most engaged actress of the show.

She maintained character at all times and held easily the most stage presence. From the moment the show opened, the audience followed her. By the end of the show, she commanded the sympathy of the entire room.

Director, Walt Jones, gave little comment on the show.

Jones has been working in CSU’s theater program since 2006 and graduated from The Yale School of Drama.

The music choice was limited to Tchaikovsky, which matched the period and era but seemed somewhat generic.

The script was quite an

obstacle to tackle. The show was successful for a college production. The minimal age of the cast made some roles only partly believable despite their efforts. It was just difficult to imagine a 22-yearold from the 21st century as a 40-year-old in Victorianera Russia. It was generally difficult to follow and remain engaged.

Remaining show dates: “Three Sisters” will be performed Oct. 2 through Oct. 8 at the University Theatre in the University Center for the Arts. It is free for students.

Ballet, Bach and Beer highlights community collaboration

By Sarah Ehrlich @SarahEhrlich96

If there’s one way to appreciate a German composer, it’s with beer.

Canyon Concert Ballet and NoCo Artists collaborated to bring together hand-selected German draft beers by High Country Beverage, ballet and the music of famed German composer Johann Sebastian Bach Saturday night. The Community Creative Center created an intimate setting between the audience, the musicians and the principle dancers of Canyon Concert Ballet.

“In wanting to share the rehearsal space with the musicians as well as Bach’s composition, I decided not to add a layer of context or storyline to the dances.”

ALICIA LAUMANN ARTISTIC DIRECTOR & CHOREOGRAPHER

Before the show began, audience members were given the chance to try German beer while browsing photography

by Scott Laumann. The photography depicted some of the dancers of Canyon Concert Ballet shot at Eagles Nest Open Space in Fort Collins. The photos were sold to benefit the ballet company.

The goal of Ballet, Bach and

Beer was to inspire people to look at ballet in a new light. Instead of complicated storylines, the intricate variations of Bach’s music brought new focus to how ballet is watched.

The way Bach’s compositions unfold with such complexity was a challenge Laumann and the dancers were delighted to take on. Bach’s play on theme and variation made the performance unique and open for anyone’s interpretation of the choreography.

The program opened with four flute sonatas, which included choreography from the dancers. The musicians then played a prelude and two chorales, which are church hymns. Preludes and chorales were a large part of Bach’s composition because of his faith in the Christian church.

After a brief intermission, an unaccompanied cello played a haunting rendition of a suite in D minor as the dancers included chairs and interaction with the cellist in their choreography. In this performance, the contrast between dancer and musician was seen in a new light.

The cellists, pianists, violinists, and flutist came from all over the country and all now live and work in Northern Colorado. The dancers also come from various places, but two are current students at CSU and have been dancing for over 16 years.

performances and enjoys both contemporary and classical pieces.

“I have been dancing since I was three,” Blumhardt said.

“Working with live musicians is something we don’t do very often, so that was definitely my favorite part of the performance.”

Nicole Ferreri is a senior health and exercise science student and fifth year company member at Canyon Concert Ballet. Like Blumhardt, Ferreri

has appeared in various roles, with the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker being one of her favorites to perform.

“Dancing to Bach is all pretty new to us,” Ferreri said.

“We haven’t done anything with this composer, so I think as a whole this was a very unique production.”

The beer and intimate setting of this performance brought many different people out to this community event.

Bach’s music is not exactly

known to be used for dancing, but Canyon Concert Ballet and NoCo Artists collaborated in such a way that made Bach’s music ideal for classical ballet, along with some quirky choreography.

Demi Lovato burns out with ‘Tell Me You Love Me’

By Alec Erickson @CTV_Ace

Demi Lovato isn’t sorry, but maybe she should be.

Having to take control of your life after spiraling out of control for a while is no easy feat.

When you try to make an album about that, you should expect something bigger and larger than life. Then again, it’s probably easier to fall into a cash grab attempt at money and make something as shallow as “Tell Me You Love Me.” Demi Lovato is just as confused with her music as a millennial with a payphone, and it shows with her latest release.

Demi Lovato is one of the few former Disney stars that does not collapse over time. She keeps finding herself in headlines and gossip magazines, and while she has managed to put out some decent music in her previous five studio albums, this 25-year-old has had her fair share of struggles.

From depression to eating disorders and rehab, Lovato has not necessarily been living the easy life in the limelight. Hardly any of her struggles really show up in her music, and her sixth studio album “Tell Me You Love Me” is no exception to that rule. It quickly fades into a generic and lifeless album.

“Tell Me You Love Me” starts off really strong and comes out swinging. It has some real purpose and drive right out the gate.

The downside is the length of this record. Forty-two minutes is a long time, and 12 tracks is a lot to work with. There is a lot of filler as a result, and for pop music, that isn’t something that is enjoyable.

There are some catchy synth pop rhythms that drive a lot of the tracks, but most the record seems confused and lost at times.

Musically, you won’t hear anything new after you make it past “Daddy Issues.” Lovato is an artist that has started to become comfortable with her style and doesn’t do much outside of that

to challenge herself. Tracks like “Ruin the Friendship” and “Cry Baby” are two prime examples of trying to make the most out of not a lot. Little to no progression and not a lot of layers or texture makes some of the tracks stale and repetitive quick. On the other hand, there are some catchy tracks like “Tell Me You Love Me” and “Daddy Issues” that will be more than enough to keep dragging listeners back. One of the few redeeming factors is just how much range Lovato can show off on this record.

Lyrically, here is another woman in her mid-twenties comparing each man to the end of the world. There isn’t a whole lot of empowering material here when you begin to listen to this record. “Only Forever” is a generic track about falling for the same guy, while “Lonely” touches on how much of a struggle not being in a relationship is. Granted, the latter has a decent feature from Lil Wayne, but there is still this almost ironic sense about each track. When half the tracks are about how much better Lovato is without a man, and the other half are about the exact opposite, you begin to hear just how confused this record is. Tracks like “Sexy Dirty Love” and “Games” are opposites in material, yet they don’t add a whole lot of depth, and the song writing is just as bland as expected.

Should you listen to it? No! Let us be real for a second.

“Tell Me You Love Me” has some great tracks, tracks that you will undoubtedly listen to for a while.

But when looking at the whole record, it is a confusing traffic jam.

Lovato had some potential to really challenge herself and make something that would have been great, but she too fell into the trap of making a safe pop record. I’ll let the title of the lead track speak for the rest of the record, “Sorry Not Sorry.”

Elon Musk updates his Mars plan and unveils aspirations to reach the moon

By Samantha Masunaga Los Angeles Times

Elon Musk thinks he’s figured out a way to pay the billions of dollars in development costs for his Mars colonization plans: Shrink the size of the rockets and spaceships so they can pull double duty on missions closer to home.

In a speech Friday at the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia, the SpaceX chief executive showed off new specs for the rocket and spaceship system known for now as BFR, a reference to how big the vehicles still would be.

Under the new plan, the rocket and spaceship each will measure about 30 feet in diameter. When stacked on top of each other, they will be about 500 feet tall.

That rocket’s booster alone was to be about 39 feet in diameter, and the spaceship was envisioned to be about 55 feet in diameter.

When stacked on top of the booster, the two would have been about 400 feet tall.

On Friday, Musk said a smaller vehicle still could get people to Mars, while also being useful for missions in Earth orbit.

He said SpaceX realized that if it built a system that “cannibalizes” its current products and makes them redundant, it then could stockpile Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets and Dragon spacecraft for customers who might be more comfortable with the tried-

and-true methods. Then, SpaceX could use its resources to develop BFR. Musk said the company is beginning to seriously develop the system and hopes to fly its first cargo mission to Mars in 2022, with a combined cargo and crew mission set for 2024. He said construction on the first spaceship will begin in about six to nine months.

Bill Ostrove, aerospace and defense analyst with Forecast International, said the time frame for those developments was “definitely aggressive.” Musk himself said in his speech that the 2022 date was “aspirational.”

“It’s hard to doubt that Elon Musk will pull something off at this point, with the number of successes he’s had,” Ostrove said. “But I think those time frames are unlikely, to say the least.”

Closer to home, Musk said BFR would replace SpaceX’s current launch vehicles and spacecraft and launch satellites, take missions for the International Space Station and even help establish a moon base _ generating revenue that could go toward paying off the rocket system’s development costs.

Musk estimated last year that the development cost for the Mars system would be about $10 billion.

While the updated plan is still “very ambitious,” Ostrove said it was more practical than the one announced last year.

“There’s a lot more focus on

the actual rocket,” he said. “That makes sense because that’s where SpaceX’s core competencies are.”

Musk also suggested an even more terrestrial use of BFR: long-distance transportation from one city to another.

“If you build a ship that’s capable of going to Mars, what if you take that same ship and go from one place to another on Earth?”

Musk said during his speech. “So we looked at that, and the results are quite interesting.”

He said travelers could get from, say, Los Angeles to New York in 25 minutes with the reusable rocket landing at its destination.

In a subsequent Instagram post, Musk said the price per seat would be about the same as a full fare in economy class on a commercial airline.

Last year, Musk first unveiled his vision of a fleet of 1,000 spaceships carrying 100 people each that would embark en masse for the Red Planet. The goal: to eventually establish a self-sustaining colony of at least 1 million people and make humans a multiplanetary species within 40 to 100 years.

Those rockets would boost spaceships into a “parking orbit” around Earth, while reusable boosters would return to the ground and pick up propellant tankers to top off before the long journey.
