Lights for Liberty vigil rallies support for detained immigrants By Samantha Ye @samxye4
Over 150 people attended the Fort Collins Lights for Liberty vigil Friday night at Civic Center Park as part of a nationwide movement to protest migrant detention camps and family separation practices in the United States and to support the affected immigrants.
The event comes as a new wave of reports detailing the camps’ overcrowded and unsanitary conditions sparked fresh outrage, and nationwide raids to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants were set to begin Sunday, July 14, according to The New York Times. “This is not about border security,” said Kristin Stephens, Fort Collins City councilmem-
ber and mayor pro tem, regarding migrant detention camps. “No, this is an exercise in cruelty by an administration that does not seem to respect or value human life.” Nearly 800 individual Lights for Liberty vigils were scheduled across the country and Canada, including 11 in Colorado. In Fort Collins, protesters
brought signs calling for humane immigration reform and denouncing the Trump administration’s policies. Although the four event cohosts — Indivisible NOCO, Fort Collins For Progress, Alianza NORCO and the Colorado Immigration Rights Coalition — each have different missions, they were “united at the intersection of justice and human-
ity,” said Monica Lynn of Indivisible NOCO. Local representatives and immigration activists condemned the camps and shared ways the protesters could take action, starting with contacting their government representatives. Patricia Miller, executive director of Alianza NORCO, was

Cases of vesicular stomatitis virus confirmed in Larimer County By Laura Studley @laurastudley_
Colorado is the most recent state to confirm cases of the vesicular stomatitis virus infection, according to multiple agencies, including the United States Department of Agriculture. The USDA has confirmed multiple cases of VSV in three states as of July 8, 2019, including Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. As of June 21, 2019, 31 total areas have been quarantined due to the disease, according to a USDA report. As of now, there are a total of five cases of VSV present in Larimer County, as confirmed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture. VSV is a viral disease that is known to affect horses and cattle but can also spread to swine, sheep, goats, pigs, llamas and alpacas. The federal and state governments require the disease to be reported because it resembles foot and mouth disease and swine vesicular disease, according to SOURCE. These diseases pose importance to international trade, as they require the animals to be placed under quarantine until the virus passes. The main symptoms of VSV are blisters, sores and the shedding of skin in the mouth, on the tongue, on the muzzle, on the ears and above the hooves. Weight loss and lameness are also possible symptoms. Colorado has not seen an outbreak since the summer of 2014,

according to Colorado State University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Over 200 properties were quarantined due to the infection of hundreds of horses and cattle. The virus can be spread through direct contact between the animals’ noses or indirectly through shedding the virus
into a communal trailer or water trough. “I think we’ve just had the right conditions for the flies to travel and replicate and transmit the virus toward us,” said Allen Landes, a Larimer County veterinarian who diagnosed a horse with VSV. “It first started out
down in Texas just a couple weeks ago, and it’s hopped up to central New Mexico, and we’ve seen it now in Larimer County.” There is no specific treatment to fight the disease, Landes said. However, anti-inflammatories are prescribed and the use of soft feed is recommended to reduce

the pain in the mouth. “The virus will run its course,” Landes said. “The mucosa will heal in the mouth, and the horse will develop antibodies to it and hopefully be protected in the future, but we don’t know for sure.” Laura Studley can be reached at news@collegian.com.

one of several speakers who shared their experiences with immigration. Miller said when she was 11 years old, she and her sister fled to the United States from El Salvador during its civil war, leaving her mother and brother behind. “The trauma of immigration-related separation and loss, even for a status-privileged little girl like me, left scars in my heart that remain to this day,” Miller said. “I cannot fathom adding in incarceration, disease, abuse, starvation, loneliness and uncertainty to the pain and hardship of immigration, but that is what we’re witnessing.” From April to June 2018, the Trump administration’s

“zero tolerance” immigration policy separated at least 2,648 migrant children from their families, according to a new report from the House Oversight Committee’s staff. The original policy has since ended, but officials say it could take up to two years to reunite all the children with their families, the Los Angeles Times reported. Unattended children and adults are held in detention centers, which have struggled to accommodate an influx in family crossings, according to USA Today. This has resulted in overcrowded and dangerous conditions. At least six migrant children have died under U.S. custody since last December. After his Friday visit to two camps, Vice President Mike Pence said the camp conditions were unacceptable, according to CNN. “What surprises me is not
the amoral policies of an amoral president, but that others are willing to follow along and carry these out,” said Cathy Kipp, Colorado House Representative for District 52, including Fort Collins.
“We need to be clear that every person who participates in this is contributing to crimes.” CATHY KIPP COLORADO HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE FOR DISTRICT 52
Kipp admonished the “normalization” of family separation and said “following orders” is no excuse for keeping children in appalling conditions. “We need to be clear that every person who participates in this is contributing to crimes,”
Kipp said. Although Fort Collins City Council has not yet addressed the border camp situation, Stephens came to speak on behalf of herself. Stephens said she was told to stay in her own lane and stick to local issues the last time she spoke out about the issue. “But we find ourselves at a time of moral reckoning, and as a mother and a human being, I cannot be silent,” Stephens said. “To be silent is to be complicit.” Stephens implored attendees to build a better and more just world by voting out people who are bad leaders. She emphasized the importance of electing empathetic leaders in the 2020 election. Councilmember Ross Cunniff was also present at the vigil, but he wasn’t a speaker. Event organizers offered some immediate courses of actions protesters could take, one
of which was calling or writing senators to close the migrant detention camps and return children to their families. After the candlelight vigil, dozens of attendees stayed to write postcards to Sen. Cory Gardner, urging him to support the Dream and Promise Act. The act would open paths to citizenship for certain groups of undocumented immigrants. Event attendee Erin Hottenstein said she would definitely be contacting her Congress representatives because “they need to hear from us.” “It’s been a whole year it’s been going on and ... it’s become a new normal,” Hottenstein said of migrant detainment. “Events like this help give you fresh energy and remind you that the problem hasn’t gone away and that you need to still be paying attention to it.” Samantha Ye can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Community raises funds to rename highway for Columbine teacher By Laura Studley @laurastudley_
Metal flowers and community members drove the fundraising efforts to rename a Colorado highway after a life-saving teacher. On May 2, the Colorado House of Representatives voted unanimously to rename part of the Colorado Highway 470 from West Bowles Avenue to South Platte Canyon Road after Dave Sanders, a teacher credited to saving multiple students’ lives in the 1999 Columbine High School shooting.
“(These events) have put us on the map for a lot of the wrong reasons, and we continue to work to correct some of that. ... It’s a long tough road to be on, but I am confident that something better will come out of this.” TOM SULLIVAN DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE FOR ARAPAHOE COUNTY
Tom Sullivan, the Democratic state representative for Arapahoe County, spoke to the House about Connie Sanders, Dave Sanders’ daughter, and how he was lifted up by her strength. Being the father of a victim of the 2012 Aurora shooting, Sullivan thought it appropriate to speak in order to make the legislation bipartisan. “I didn’t know Dave Sanders, but I have learned a lot about him from the workings of his daughter,” Sullivan said. “And (the highway) was something she supported. If she supported it, then I was there to support her.” Republican state Rep. Patrick Neville created a GoFundMe on May 2, setting the end goal at $5,000. In total, $4,223 was raised. The Littleton community rallied behind the GoFundMe; however, local community member and Columbine High School graduate Jared Gates
Metal columbine flower created by artist Dave Sanders, in memory of the Columbine High School shooting April 20, 1999. Sanders donated the proceeds of his pieces to help raise funding for the renaming of Colorado State Highway 470. PHOTO COURTESY OF DAVE LIGGETT COLLEGIAN
noticed the donations had slowed, inspiring him to use his artwork for the cause. Originally, Gates didn’t expect all the attention his metal flowers would receive when he posted pictures of them on Facebook. “Everybody was asking to buy them,” Gates said. “I didn’t actually originally make them to sell. Then it escalated from there.” The funds he received from the flowers he sold went to the online fundraiser that was set to purchase new signage for the highway. “A lot of people have told me they’ve been inspired to do
something themselves, which is actually one of the goals too,” Gates said. “I didn’t think I’d have this big of a response to it, so I’m really, really happy about it. I’m just blown away by the support I’ve gotten from the community.” With the GoFundMe campaign no longer accepting donations and the new highway signs becoming fully financed, Gates plans to continue donating the proceeds he receives from his art to the Columbine Memorial. Gates was a junior at Columbine when the events of 1999 took place. Dedicating a portion of C-470 serves as a reminder of
the shooting, Gates said. People recount where they were and what they were doing when they heard what was happening, so in one way or another, everyone was impacted, he said. “Every time I hear of something else happen(ing), my heart goes out to the people affected by that,” Gates said. “What I’m doing now is kind of my response to that.” Gun violence has happened again and again in the Colorado community, Sullivan said. The Arapahoe County representative sponsored the Red Flag Bill, which passed in March and gives Colorado judges a process by which they can temporarily
remove firearms from people who are believed to be at high risk of harming themselves or others. “(These events) have put us on the map for a lot of the wrong reasons, and we continue to work to correct some of that,” Sullivan said. “We have the day-to-day gun violence that happens here in our state, and we are standing up and having those conversations. It’s a long tough road to be on, but I am confident that something better will come out of this.” Laura Studley can be reached at news@collegian.com.

CITY
Councilmember discusses Climate Resolution at listening session By Samantha Ye @samxye4
Climate change grew into one of the dominating topics at a public listening session held by a Fort Collins City councilmember at the Foothills Activity Center July 6. Councilmember Julie Pignataro held her first listening session, which approximately 20 people attended, and discussed issues facing Fort Collins. When asked about her perspective of the recently proposed Climate Emergency Resolution, Pignataro emphasized the messaging purpose of the resolution. “It has many different intents, one of which is to send a message to other municipalities and higher up in the government that, ‘Hey, we’re taking this pretty seriously, and you should too,’” Pignataro said. Citizens brought a draft of a potential CER to Council last meeting, and Pignataro herself directed it for further development. When she ran for Council, Pignataro said part of her platform focused on improving the way the City communicates with the community, and a CER is another way of communicating with residents. She said she brought up drafting something similar during Council retreat, and it wouldn’t change policy.

Pignataro noted that the taste for resolutions has soured among some councilmembers.

On July 2, Mayor Wade Troxell and Councilmember Ken Summers voiced initial opposition to declaring a climate emergency when the City already has its Climate Action Plan in place. One session attendee called Troxell dismissing sea-level rise a “reverse NIMBY,” or, “It’s not in my backyard, so I don’t give a damn.” Others shared their own sense of urgency about effectively addressing climate change. “We were modeling climate change 50 years ago, and it didn’t bother me much back then because I didn’t think I’d be alive today,” one resident said. “But the impact it’s having is now and still no one’s worried
about solving it.” Several attendees offered their tangential solutions to the problem. Resident Eric Sutherland said climate discussions always lack solutions and that to deliver on the City’s sustainability goals, the City must hire solution-oriented people. “It all has to be framed in terms of solutions,” Sutherland said. Other residents said they want a rail system to happen, either across town, to Denver or to southern Colorado. The most recent proposed rail project would link Fort Collins and Pueblo, according to the Coloradoan. Such a massive public transportation effort would be a
“game changer,” said one resident speaking on behalf of her elderly father. And it would be a cleaner, more reliable form of transportation, according to the Colorado Rail Passenger Association. But any rail project would be a massive coordination effort between state, local and community institutions, and attendees urged Council to start taking the lead on the development now. Pignataro said climate change is a big problem with many possible solutions, and a CER could shape up to be part of that. Although four councilmembers voiced support for the declaration, Pignataro said the discussion is just beginning.
“We are doing a lot as a City to help with climate,” Pignataro said. “But let’s repackage what we’re doing and get that communication out in a different way.” Other topics discussed at the listening session included developing more trails and paths open to bikers, better informing people on how to appeal a development, possibly creating a third-party review board to look at final developments before they’re built and making other forms of listening sessions, such as a multi-councilmember or topical listening session.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST
We need to pay more attention to the Try Guys Renee Ziel @reneezwrites
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. With summer at its peak, body image and self-esteem tend to be important. But not enough people are talking about the difficulties men deal with in this regard and how some deal with their own concept of “being a man.” Researchers define toxic masculinity as the suppression of natural emotion and a false show of power by conforming to male norms. It often results in a fragile ego and the unhealthy mindset of “boys will be boys,” which allows men to act in inappropriate or harmful ways toward women and each other.
NOPE Seeing all your friend going on camping trips while you work.
The Try Guys, a male comedy group that started and worked at BuzzFeed from 2014 to 2018, have indirectly addressed these issues for years. They should be recognized and praised for their work fighting toxic masculinity.
“The Try Guys understand what it’s like to have healthy male friendships and be open about their feelings in a wholesome way.” The award-winning group is made up of entertainers Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Eugene Lee Yang and Zach Kornfeld. As their name would suggest, their videos consist of them trying new things and getting out of their comfort zones. They put comedy first — but there is something to be said of them apart
&
from surface content. While getting out of their comfort zones, these men face their own insecurities, identities and cultures they may not understand and lift one another up throughout their experiences. The Try Guys understand what it’s like to have healthy male friendships and be open about their feelings in a wholesome way. Yang in particular often enlightens viewers about sexuality and culture, being an openly gay Korean-American. A notable example of their openness is when they received makeovers from high school girls and had meaningful reflections at the end of the video. “Throughout my life there have been things I wasn’t confident enough to wear ... and today has shown me that that is a restriction that I put on myself,” Kornfeld said. As a commentary that women aren’t the only ones who can explore their own
styles and feel confident in what they want to wear, Fulmer added, “Do it for how it makes you feel ... ‘cause maybe when you do things outside of the box, you could be rewarded for it.” The Try Guys also tackle issues that women have to face regularly, such as the health issues that come with having large breasts or fashion norms such as high heels. In both episodes, they came out on the other side in immense pain, a feeling many women are used to. “Some people’s boobs are a huge burden to their life, so it’s not so simple as like, a face-value appreciation,” Habersberger commented as all four men took off the bras holding their breast-like weights in place, clearly relieved. Another more famous example of their appreciation for women is a five-part series titled “Motherhood,” where they dealt with the struggles of pregnancy, babies and of
course, labor pain. In the fifth part, they thanked their mothers for everything they went through, during which Fulmer openly cried. It’s through these various efforts that the Try Guys steadily redefine what manhood is. All of them have been unafraid to be vulnerable, even when they have an audience of well over 6 million people. They have proven once again that it’s okay for a man to be open and honest about appreciating his friends and family and most importantly, to be confident in himself without arrogance or disrespect. The Try Guys continue to push the boundaries of individuality in an ever-changing society. We live in a world with millions of experiences, many of which likely make us apprehensive. It is essential that we follow this comedy group’s example in being comfortable enough to try. Renee Ziel can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

CSU should work toward WELL building standards Abby Vander Graaff @abbym_vg
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. We all know that the stereotype of college life includes living in a dirty, cramped apartment or dorm, eating ramen while drinking copious amounts of alcohol and setting couches on fire. But our world has changed, our technology has advanced and as the future generation of productive adults, we should evolve with it. At the end of the spring 2019 semester, the Associated Students of Colorado State Uni-
versity discussed a resolution to bring University buildings to the standards of the WELL certification, which could be a first step toward student well-being on CSU’s campus. WELL building requirements promote health in areas such as airflow, thermal comfort and water. It also promotes less conventional attributes of healthy living such as mind, community and nourishment. The standards provide goals for architects to meet so that new buildings are not only new, but built with the intention of benefiting the people who spend time inside them. We all know that depression, stress and anxiety strongly impact the lives of college students. The way we interact with buildings has a larger impact on our moods than many of us realize — lighting being one example. Overexposure to blue light and
underexposure to natural light can offset the circadian rhythm, which impacts mental health. Instead of nursing headaches during class in the basement of Clark or reeling from a fast food meal in the Lory Student Center, WELL facilities could help students narrow their focus onto the classes they are paying so much money to attend.

Editor’s Note: The views expressed in the following column are those of the writer only and do not necessarily represent the views of The Collegian or its editorial board. The hot summer months can quickly produce sweat in our most intimate areas, and having good sexual hygiene is pertinent to having good sex. Here are a few ways to improve your sexual hygiene for the summertime and why it’s important. We’ve all heard the term feminine hygiene, but it’s not just women who have to keep up with their hygiene, especially in the summer. Summertime is a chance for sweat and outside bacteria to easily access intimate parts of our bodies. There are steps we can take to help prevent gross and sweaty genitals. One important first step is our underwear choice. Cotton fabric helps to absorb excess moisture and breathes much more than other fabrics, making it ideal for our genitals to access fresh air. If you are someone who wears boxers, particularly tighter fit, think about changing to loose boxer briefs. Wearing looser underwear will also help genitals
campus where we spend most of our days healthy, nourishing places is an investment in the well-being of our students, faculty and staff. We will be happier and healthier, and because of this, we will ultimately be more productive and able to continue the legacy of innovation at CSU. While the feasibility and cost of bringing campus buildings to this standard are questionable, even an incentive to try would move the way we think about campus construction in the right direction. College is a time where hard work takes over and health gets forgotten — but it doesn’t have to be that way. Most of us are at CSU because we want to make things better, and there’s no better place to start than with our own health. Abby Vander Graaff can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

system that allows students to care for their mental health without actually having to make an appointment at the doctor’s office. The program has helped 75% of its users manage stress and won a national award for innovation in 2018. The Collegian notes that “CSU will be the first university in the country to have a WELL certified building.” This means that CSU could set the precedent for universities to consider the health and well-being of their students in a more comprehensive manner. According to SOURCE, CSU is already making sustainability efforts — dozens of buildings on campus are already LEED certified, meaning they rank highly for sustainability. And what is more sustainable than caring for human beings and their health? Making the buildings on
breath more easily. Another way to prevent a sweaty groin is to use cleaning products specifically made for the vagina and penis. A good cleansing soap for the vagina is from Summer’s Eve. It’s specially designed for the sensitive skin around the vagina while maintaining its natural pH balance and leaving a non-irritating scent.
“Summertime is a chance for sweat and outside bacteria to easily access intimate parts of our bodies.” A good refreshing product for the penis is Sack Spray. It helps to neutralize odors in the groin area while also soothing the area, also maintaining its pH balance. Both companies offer more hygienic products for their respected reproductive organs from washes, wipes, sprays and more. It’s important to keep up on cleaning and preventing sweat in our groin area to avoid health issues. While a little sweat is normal, excessive sweat or sweat build up can lead to unhealthy side effects. According to Health Line, an internet-based medical group, side effects of a sweaty crotch can lead to chaffing, bacterial infection and fungal
infection. Both bacterial and fungal infections breed on and thrive off of a sweaty environment. To prevent a nasty infection down there, it’s important to take these proper steps to prevent excess sweat and clean it well. Summertime is also a time where we wear less clothes and show more skin. While shaving pubic hair is a personal choice, there are health benefits and sexual appeal for keeping the pubic area trimmed or shaved. For anyone who wears a bikini, shaving the bikini line might make some feel more confident and comfortable in wearing tighter or more revealing swimwear bottoms. Aside from how keeping the pubis shaved relates to visual sex appeal, keeping a shaved pubic area will also increase positive overall sexual hygiene. Less hair means less sweat, so keep the hedges trimmed. A hairy bush, a foul-smelling crotch and a bacterial infection are all ways to really turn off your partner from jumping in the sack with you this summer. Don’t stop those sweaty adventures with your summer fling, but remember the importance of sexual hygiene during these hot summer months. Shay Rego can be reached at letters@collegian.com.
Thief steals student’s identity, donates out of pity By Abby Vander Graaff @abbym_vg
Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not read editor’s notes are subject to being offended. FORT COLLINS — This Wednesday, Colorado State University student Agatha Clark reported an unusual identity theft to the Fort Collins Police Department. Clark first noticed something was awry when she checked her Wells Fargo bank account and the balance was above $4.20. Instead of stealing money, it appeared the thief had donated to Clark’s account after seeing that as an out-of-state CSU student, she clearly needed some financial help. Between spending thousands of dollars on tuition, books and student loans, Clark had as much money to offer as she had enthusiasm for the brand new windowless classrooms in the Canvas football stadium that her tuition paid for. Like many students, Clark was struggling to afford basic necessities such as Smirnoff Ice and an HBO subscription. Clark would like to thank her unknown donor for helping her in a way that CSU’s Office of Finan-
cial Aid never has. “Last semester I got arrested for participating in the Undie Run,” Clark said. “But really I was just passing through in an old T-shirt that had started to disintegrate. Now I can afford clothes and can maybe even go to a Cubs game like Tony Frank.” Other students have taken inspiration from Clark’s story. It seems to have restored faith in the community that many students lost during this year’s Associated Students of Colorado State University elections. “It’s a true honor to spend five years in a community as supportive as ours in Fort Collins,” remarked junior biology major Jack Mendoza. “I used to spend hours filling out scholarship applications, but now I’m thinking it might be more effective to throw my credit card on the ground and see what happens.” Clark reflected on the chances that she would cross paths with this particular identity thief. “If I had any money at all, this could have gone very differently,” she said over the crunch of her lunch consisting of Doritos. “I’m very lucky — and my fake ID still works.” Abby Vander Graaff can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

The Democratic Party is caving in on itself Katrina Leibee @KatrinaLeibee
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. The question of how Democrats are going to win the 2020 election has been a conversation since Donald Trump was elected. Democrats got to work — mourning the loss of what seemed like a for-sure win — with the new knowledge that no election is guaranteed, no matter what the candidates and polls look like on the surface. The first Democratic debates that took place June 26 and 27 gave Americans a glimpse at what the future of this country might look like. Americans listened intently and focused on the policies and behavior of each candidate, carefully ranking who might win in a debate against the current president. The Democrats look like they might take each other down before anyone can lay a hand on the president. The candidates circled around identity politics, stealing points from each other wherever possible. They came across as very far left, risking their chance to win over moderates. Overall, the Democrats seemed to forget that we are all on the same team. As Sen. Elizabeth
Warren put it on the first night, “I want to return the government to the people.” That is the goal, isn’t it? The end result that Democrats are striving for is to essentially undo what has been done by the current government, announcing to the world, “Hey, America is back!” On the second night of the debates, Sen. Kamala Harris calmed candidates down by saying, “America does not want to witness a food fight. They want to know how we’re going to put food on the table.” That was the truest statement of the debates. The Democrats shouldn’t fight each other; they should promote the policies that will fight the problems facing the country.
“Everyone wants to be the person that took down Trump, and no one wants to be the one that can’t.” The Democrats should have debated over whose policies and ideas are more likely to get us to a healthy economic, political and social state of being. While that was part of the conversation, the debates also took a turn away from that. Candidate Eric Swalwell took a jab at Joe Biden’s age, telling him to “pass the torch to the next generation.” Harris went after Biden’s

past in opposing busing, which while an important topic, is not the most necessary issue to bring up at a first-time debate getting to know the candidates and their policies. Healthcare was a large topic both nights. Bernie Sanders, known to be extremely far left, said he would abolish private insurance in favor of public insurance, having citizens pay more in taxes for public healthcare but less in insurance premiums. Abolishing private healthcare altogether is a very far left view, and the Democrats risk losing moderate voters with this. Warren, Bill de Blasio and Harris also said they were in favor of abolishing private healthcare. A lot of the Democrats had similar, far left ideas to bring to the table, with a few exceptions such as Andrew Yang’s idea to give every adult citizen in the U.S. $1,000 a month. Every candidate on stage had the same goal: a Democratic government that benefits the working class. The mess is created when everyone’s ideas on how to reach this goal don’t align, resulting in people fighting each other rather than the actual policies. People are awestruck by how many Democratic candidates are running for president. If the Democrats’ goal, truly, is to restore the government, then why has this turned into a political battleground of 20 people, all claiming they are the best Democrat? Everyone wants to be the per-

son that took down Trump, and no one wants to be the one that can’t. The Democrat that wins this election will earn their own personal triumph in history, regardless of how well their administration does. They are the one who brought America back. But working class Americans don’t care about that. The party cares about ending the chaos at the border, raising the minimum wage, making healthcare more affordable, reducing income inequality and ending gun violence. Democrats aren’t going to vote for
someone because they are young or old; they are going to vote for the person with the policies and experience to do those things. Putting each other on trial is not going to get the Democrats into office. What we saw at the debates last week was not hope for a Democratic win. What we saw was a glimpse into the political food fight that Trump will get to watch from the comfort of the Oval Office, and the Democrats will have done it to themselves.

Incoming free agents add experience, winning pedigree to Eagles roster By Ryan Loberger @LobergerRyan
After making the move from the East Coast Hockey League to the American Hockey League, the Colorado Eagles will look to build off their successful inaugural season as they make moves in free agency. With the Colorado Avalanche’s growing prospect pool and elevated expectations, the Eagles have had to make way for incoming players. Fans can expect to see some familiar faces that will be returning this upcoming season. Shane Bowers, Martin Kaut and Logan O’Connor are all talented young players who will try to crack a roster spot with the big club come training camp, but they may need another year of development in Loveland before becoming regulars in the big league. Free agency and signings reshape the landscape of the league for the following season. New players come in, and familiar faces depart. Fan favorites and two big pieces of the leadership group from last year will not be returning to Loveland next season. Allstar forward Andrew Agozzino and defenseman David Warsofsky inked deals with the Pittsburgh Penguins and will be missed by the Eagles faithful. Two Eagles were traded in the offseason: forward Dominic Toninato (via trade with the Florida Panthers) and Scott Kosmachuk (via trade with the Washington Capitals). Toninato was traded for Florida/Springfield defenseman Jacob Macdonald, an offensive defenseman who scored 14 goals and 29 assists in 72 games for the Springfield Thunderbirds and added a goal in two games of NHL action with the Panthers last season. Kosmachuk was sent to Washington along with two draft picks for forward Andre Burakovsky. The Eagles also re-signed forward Michael Joly for the 2019-2020 season, the former 2018 Kelly Cup MVP who recorded 15 goals and 15 assists in 47 regular-season contests last season. Goalie Pavel Francouz resigned with the Avalanche organization after a stellar season. Francouz was one of the top goalies in the AHL last season, and Avalanche General Manager Joe Sakic confirmed he will serve as the backup to Philipp Grubauer next season for the Avalanche. A new goalie tandem will be in place next season with Francouz’s call up to the NHL, coupled with the departure of backup goalie Spencer Martin. Colorado signed former Tucson

Roadrunners netminder Hunter Miska to a one-year deal and added another European goalie with Adam Werner. The Eagles also announced the signing of Avalanche 2018 fifth-round draft pick Brandon Saigeon to a one-year deal on Wednesday. Saigeon spent the past season playing in the Ontario Hockey League for the Hamilton Bulldogs where he scored 63 points (25 goals/38 assists) in 40 games. The 6-foot-2-inch center was then traded to the Oshawa Generals, where he recorded 29 points (12 goals/17 assists) in 28 regular season games and added 16 points (six goals/10 assists) in 15 playoff contests. The Eagles added some veteran experience and winning pedigree with the free-agent signings of forward Jayson Megna and forward T.J. Tynan to one-year deals and defenseman Dan Renouf to a two-year contract. Megna, a 29-year-old forward, joins the Eagles after notching 43 points (20 goals/23 assists) in 71 regular-season games for the Hershey Bears.
Tynan, a skilled playmaker, spent the past two seasons with the Chicago Wolves, recording 131 points (27 goals/104 assists) in 141 AHL regular-season games. Tynan was tied for third in the AHL in points last season with 71 and led the league in assists with 59. Renouf joins the Eagles after capturing the Calder Cup championship last season with the Charlotte Checkers and the year prior in 2017 with the Grand Rapids Griffins. Renouf, 25, tallied 24 points (two goals/22 assists) last season for the Checkers in 74 regular-season games and added three points (one goal/two assists) in 12 playoff appearances. The Eagles’ season doesn’t start until Oct. 4 at the Budweiser Events Center when they host the Stockton Heat. Expect more news to come as they continue to add to their roster.

CSU women’s soccer lands three transfers for upcoming season
SPONSORED CONTENT
By Ryan Loberger @LobergerRyan
The Colorado State women’s soccer team will have plenty of new faces when their season kicks off on Aug. 22 against the University of Marquette. Three more players have signed on for next year, bringing the total to 11 new Rams that will don the green and gold for the first time. All three players join the team as transfers, and all three will be eligible to play in the upcoming season.
“They all come to us with collegiate experience and in conferences which play at a high level. They will bring a different level of understanding to our team.” BILL HEMPEN CSU HEAD COACH
Addie Wright is a transfer from Wake Forest University, Gracie Armstrong is a transfer from Washington State and Kristen Noonan is a transfer from California State Fullerton. Coach Bill Hempen and his revamped roster will try to build off last season. The Rams ended with a 6-9-4 record and a 3-6-2 in-conference record, which is their best finish since the program was launched in 2013. Wright was on the 2016 Wake Forest roster but did not play, so she enrolled at CSU to pursue her degree. Wright played a year with the Rams club team, missed the game too much and decided to move up to the varsity program. Armstrong, a local player from Legacy High School in Broomfield, Colorado, played in seven games while at Washington State, even scoring her first collegiate goal in the Cougars’ NCAA first-round game against Montana. Noonan (formerly Kristen Swales) joins the Rams after earning all-freshman team honors in the Big West. Appearing in 16 games and starting in nine of them, she finished second on the team with five goals scored on 22 shots for a 22.7% shooting percentage. All three transfers will look to make an impact with their

new team as the players report on Aug. 5, with fall camp starting the following day. The plethora of new players will have their work cut out for them as the Rams have a strong schedule with a number of challenging out-of-conference games during the 20192020 season. They have games against Gonzaga, Eastern Washington, Valparaiso and a home-and-home series against Marquette. “I’m going to have 11 new kids show up, and we’re going to be on the road a little bit,” Hempen said. “They’re going to be great challenges for us. I think they’re right in our wheelhouse as far as where we need to be competing. You go to Gonzaga, and they have a beautiful facility, and we’ve never been to Eastern Washington. Grand Canyon has a great facility to play in, and I’ve never been to Valpo or Marquette, so it’s something different.” The Rams will also have a six game in-state stretch from Oct. 4, starting with a contest at Colorado College, followed by a game at the Air Force Academy on Oct. 6. CSU will then play at home in-conference games against Fresno State (10/11), San Jose State (10/13), Utah State (10/18) and Boise State (10/20). “Even though Colorado College and Air Force are road games, that’s six games in a row in state,” Hempen said. “That helps. There’s so many things that go into this, as far as keeping your kids focused, and it’s the time of the year where it’s midterms. That certainly helps the process. Those October games are going to be pretty important for us to be at home for that stressful time in the academic year.” Ryan Loberger can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Fort Collins Fringe Festival to liven local art scene By Elena Waldman @WaldmanElena
Fort Collins locals don’t have to go all the way to Edinburgh for an art festival; in fact, they may not even have to leave town. The Fort Collins Fringe Festival will be coming to town for the seventh consecutive year July 25-28 to liven up the local art scene with music, comedy, magic, art and everything in between. The essence of the Fort Collins Fringe Festival is to support up-and-coming artists and entertainers. One of the ways the festival does this is by giving ticket proceeds back to the Fringe artists. Festival-goers will need to purchase a button, or the general festival pass, which will get them into the opening and closing ceremonies as well as some of the exclusive parties. In addition to purchasing the $5 button, attendees will need to purchase ticket sales to each individual show. “We do the box office proceeds so every ticket sale goes back to
the Fringe artist,” said Jess MacMaster, one of the producers of the Fort Collins Fringe Festival. “It’s (for) the artist to showcase their work and make (money).”
MORE INFORMATION ■ FESTIVAL BUTTONS AND SHOW
PASSES CAN BE PURCHASED ONLINE OR AT ANY FRINGE BOX OFFICE.
The Fringe Festival emphasizes the importance of artistic expression in communities, bringing tons of up-and-coming artists to the forefront. The process of gathering artists is first-comefirst-serve, so all kinds of artists and performers are encouraged to showcase their work. While it is a local event, the Fort Collins Fringe Festival doesn’t discriminate against which artists are allowed to participate. “We accept pieces from all

‘Déjà vu and other Strange Memory Experiences’ highlights psychological phenomena By Ty Davis @tydavisACW
Colorado State University professor of cognitive psychology Anne Cleary presented “Déjà vu and other Strange Memory Experiences” at the Wolverine Farm Letterpress & Publick House July 11, as part of Off the Hook Arts’ Summerfest Viewpoint Series. The presentation focused on the various complexities surrounding the topic of déjà vu in psychology. According to Penn Medicine, about two-thirds of people have experienced déjà vu at some point in their lives. The root causes of déjà vu are still unclear, but Cleary is one of few in her field studying the occurrence. In addition to giving presentations on the subject, Cleary has also conducted numerous studies into the working of déjà vu and has written several papers on the subject. Déjà vu is literally translated to “already seen,” and several theories exist to try to explain it, such as small temporal lobe seizures in people without epilepsy or asynchronous processing of cognitive functions. Cleary’s presentation focused on the idea that déjà vu is the result of the brain’s failure to recall certain memories. The presentation opened
with an exploration of the idea Cleary calls “presque vu,” or put more simply, the feeling of being on the verge of a great epiphany or revelation. From there, Cleary transitioned to talking about déjà vu and the feeling of being close to understanding but failing to make the full connection. She went on to discuss several stories of déjà vu, the phenomenon’s association with the paranormal, the theories around déjà vu and her research towards understanding déjà vu.
“I really took his invitation in this paper to heart and began to explore ways of investigating déjà vu from memory paradigm.” ANNE CLEARY CSU PROFESSOR OF COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
In one of the examples, Cleary detailed an experiment in which she and her team were able to create feelings of déjà vu by recreating room geometry and layouts that had different characteristics in two separate virtual reality ex-
periences. Subsequently, Cleary and her team were able to elicit feelings of déjà vu. After the conclusion on the biases that trick people into thinking they correctly predicted the future, questions were then opened to the audience. The audience asked a variety of questions regarding research, the mental processes of déjà vu and the different types of experiences that could elicit feelings of déjà vu. “I thought it was informative,” said audience member Phil Donaldson. “I always thought of déjà vu as a memory from the past that I was reliving, so it was interesting to hear that people thought there might be a connection to premonition.” When discussing what made her focus on déjà vu for study, Cleary discussed a 2003 review paper by cognitive psychology professor Alan Brown, which drew attention for reviewing known knowledge about déjà vu in psychology and drawing a comparison to paradigms in cognitive psychology. Cleary saw this as a sort of invitation to the psychological community to begin studying psychology in her own words. Ty Davis can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

MacMaster said the festival also gives people an opportunity to see new and different types of art they wouldn’t normally be exposed to. “I think that the performing arts and artistic expression that (people) wouldn’t see otherwise is (offered) at a really affordable price,” MacMaster said. “We try,
as a festival, to promote the entire Fringe as a whole so that you’re urged to go see other pieces and not just something that seems right up your alley.” Festival buttons and show passes can be purchased online or at any Fringe box office.

Ginger & Baker’s Teaching Kitchen serves up food, fun in afternoon classes By Lauryn Bolz @LaurynBolz
As Fort Collins residents know very well, food curates community. This idea is the basis of the Teaching Kitchen at Ginger & Baker, which is home to farm-to-table cooking classes and events for all ages. Ginger & Baker added a home-grown feel to the Fort Collins food scene upon its grand opening 1.5 years ago. The Teaching Kitchen is set between the ground floor restaurant and cafe. The idea was that the Kitchen fit owner Ginger Graham’s philosophy so well that it should be positioned so that visitors coming in either of the entrances could be a part of the experience. “I learned a lot of things in the kitchen and not just how to cook,” Graham said. “Having a space that really represents our kitchen table is really important.” While the Teaching Kitchen has been effective for inspiring people to get out of the frozen aisle and into the farmer’s market, it also teaches community building, the importance of culture and how cooking can be a fun, rewarding experience.
“It’s cool to see people surprise themselves when they make and eat food that they didn’t think that they could make.” LINDSAY BRADY TEACHING KITCHEN INSTRUCTOR
On June 8, the topic at the Teaching Kitchen was how to take summer ingredients and use them in new and exciting ways. Lindsay Brady, who first applied for the position after receiving an award at a Ginger & Baker pie contest, taught the class. “It’s cool to see people surprise themselves when they make and eat food that they

didn’t think that they could make,” Brady said. “We hope that we can sort of guide that process.” Titled “Summer Baking Favorites,” the two-hour class featured instructions on how to make blueberry pie bars, lemon cakes and strawberry swirl breakfast bread. Everything was made with fresh, local ingredients that the Kitchen assistants portioned out. The staff was able to keep the kitchen clean and organized, which created a relaxed feel as students got their hands messy while making lemon custard and blueberry puree. Among the attendees at the class were Fort Collins elementary school teachers, Allison and Kristen, who joined the class as a way to bond outside of the classroom. “We both have the same hobby of liking to bake, so this is a fun thing to do together,” Kristen said. “Summer Baking Favorites” was Kristen’s second time taking a class at the Teaching Kitchen. She said she had
learned a lot of new techniques to take back home to her own kitchen. This time, she brought Allison with her. “This is my first time doing a class here, but I do bake a lot at home,” Allison said. “It’s fun to do something where it’s all prepped and ready and you get to try new things but have someone to ask questions if it’s not going the way you want it to.” Besides the two teachers, there was a family and even a group of women celebrating a birthday taking the class. Graham said it is the kinetic aspect of cooking that makes the Teaching Kitchen such a great community-building experience. “Many times, especially when you’re meeting new people, it’s a little awkward if you’re just trapped at a table to sit. If you’re doing something together, it breaks down barriers,” Graham said. Lauryn Bolz can be reached at entertainment@collegian. com.

MOVIES & TV
‘Bite Me’ bites off more than it can chew By Ty Davis @tydavisACW
Editor’s note: There will be spoilers for “Bite Me.” Movies like “Bite Me” sadden me because of the missed opportunities. For all its unique contributions to cinema and focus on often overlooked facets of our lives, the film’s failure to live up to its full potential by overlooking fundamentals of fiction writing is what makes it semi-tragic. “Bite Me” follows the life of Sarah, a woman who believes she and her roommates are vampires (though not a supernatural kind) because of their fixation and supposed health need for consuming human blood. When one of their community members goes on live
television and debuts the existence of their sub-community, the group then finds out the IRS is auditing their religious organization tax status due to public attention. When auditor James is assigned the case, he begins to investigate the Church of Twilight when he starts to develop romantic feelings for Sarah. It’s important to know where the movie succeeds first. Naomi Jones, who both wrote the screenplay and plays Sarah, clearly has a good eye for character motivation, creating characters with psychological complexity and interpersonal relationships. There’s an inherent understanding that these characters have a lot more going on than what is on the surface. It’s clear Jones wrote these characters with psychological well-being in mind. These characters are not motivated by an external goal or some idea of purpose; they’re motivated by needs, wants and the maintenance of their own personal well-being. It lends a certain realness to the way characters interact with each other. (Spoilers)
One of the largest reasons why the story just does not work is the lack of any real suspense or tension in the story. One of the central questions is if James will approve the vampires’ status as a religious group, but that question loses all suspense when James (played by Christian Coulson) immediately confirms his romantic interest in Sarah. There’s no “will he or won’t he” tension brought on by the ambiguity of their relationship, thus there’s no real worry that he’s going to disapprove their religious tax status.

It may seem like having James be so sure of this relationship for so long would be perfect for when he actually does deny their status, but it actually worsens the situation. It does not make the scene shocking as much as it does confusing, and it’s unclear why he would so readily deny them
their status when he did not try to find some way out of the situation first. If, hypothetically, James had not rushed into a relationship with Sarah and instead their relationship had developed over time while James had to choose between a life with Sarah and his own mundane life, then it would be a genuine conflict that would drive interest in the story. Not to mention it would make for a much stronger scene when he does deny their religion status because it would relate to one of the central conflicts of the story. The audience would have been lulled into a sense of security by them just entering a relationship, and the quick turn in direction would have felt more impactful. This problem in tensions stems from another major issue with the film. Though the characters are expressive, they lack thematic depth, or to put it simply, the characters are not fulfilled or expounded upon enough to create full thematic journeys. Basically, anything related to the characters is either not explained enough or the audience has to assume for
themselves. Does James take after his father in some way and that is why he craves a sense of adventure? Why does James seek oddity in his life? Does Sarah try to use James initially but then is charmed by him in some way? Or does Sarah see in James some semblance of a normal, sturdy life and that’s why she’s so infatuated with him? Does Sarah not actually care about being seen as a vampire and really just wants a sense of community more personal to her sense of identity? You won’t actually know the answer to any of these questions because the film is not at all preoccupied with giving any sort of answer. This is what makes “Bite Me” so frustrating; you see the potential that isn’t being fulfilled when it’s so close. It’s akin to looking at a connect the dots picture. You can see what the full image is supposed to be, but only some of the connections are made, leaving an image that is only a fraction of what it could be.
