Gardner, Hickenlooper face off in final senatorial debate By Sam Moccia & Natalie Weiland @CSUCollegian

U.S. senatorial candidates Cory Gardner and John Hickenlooper debated Tuesday night over issues ranging from the COVID-19 response to health care, racial justice, Colorado’s role in addressing climate change and more, offering voters another glimpse of both candidates ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Colorado’s previous senatorial debate on Oct. 2 touched on similar topics, including health care and the state response to COVID-19, and it saw attacks from Gardner regarding Hickenlooper’s previous ethics violations as former

Colorado governor. Throughout the evening, Gardner repeatedly went on the offensive, often using his allotted response time to pose his own questions to Hickenlooper, who continued to defend his record from his time as governor. The first question of the evening addressed the Colorado COVID-19 response, asking both candidates what they believed was the most important improvement needed in the Colorado pandemic response and the challenges to enacting it. Gardner began with stating his support for passing additional relief packages out of the U.S. Congress, including funding for small businesses in the form of the Pay-

check Protection Program as well as additional funding for education, child care and vaccine research. Gardner also said he wants to ensure individuals are following public health guidelines before going on the offensive, claiming that Hickenlooper wouldn’t have passed relief, citing Hickenlooper saying so himself. Although Hickenlooper has criticized the relief bill proposed by Senate Republicans, he has not explicitly stated that he would have voted against it. “The GOP’s partisan ‘skinny relief’ bill doesn’t do nearly enough to help Americans who are struggling to put food on the table and pay their bills,” Hickenlooper wrote in a Sept. 10 tweet. “Enough with

the bickering and political stunts. Coloradans needed relief months ago — and Washington needs to get its act together.” In a similar vein, health care was of particular focus throughout the evening, specifically the Affordable Care Act. The ACA has long been criticized by Gardner, who has made it an objective to repeal the ACA, according to The Colorado Sun. Gardner was asked whether or not his goal of repealing the Affordable Care Act had shifted following the COVID-19 pandemic’s disproportionate impact on Black and Latinx American communities. Gardner responded by stating, “Under my plan, we will focus on a patient-centered care system,” be-

fore saying that his own plan would increase quality of care by reducing medical care costs through reinsurance programs and risk pools. “I don’t think it needs to be a zero-sum game,” Gardner said before claiming that Hickenlooper’s plan would replace the ACA with a government-run health care program that would “take over 176 million people’s insurance plans away from employers.” While fact-checking the debate, The Collegian found that Hickenlooper never planned to replace the ACA, but instead worked with former Ohio Gov. John Kasich in 2017 to make proposed amendments to it. see DEBATE on page 6 & 7 >>

Combating anti-Semitism with CSU’s Presidential Task Force By Molly O’Shea @Molly_O23

KE CAR TA

RAMS T

RAMS

In June 2020, the Presidential Task Force on Jewish Inclusion and the Prevention of Anti-Semitism was established to continue Colorado State University’s efforts in educating its community on Jewish culture, creating an inclusive environment and preventing anti-Semitism, according to the Office of the President. The Task Force is chaired by department of communication studies affiliate faculty member and CSU Special Advisor on Prevention of Anti-Semitism Carolin Aronis and John Henderson, who is the assistant dean of students in the Division of Student Affairs. It also includes faculty, staff and students from Chabad, Hillel, the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, several academic departments, the Division of Student Affairs, the Vice President for Research and a representative of the Fort Collins community, as described on the Task Force website. Aronis explained that the Task Force is still in the research and collecting data phase, with the goal of

learning exactly what recommendations to make to allow for the safest and most inclusive environment for the Jewish community. Preliminary recommendations will be made in December, and final ones in June 2021, Aronis said. “We started talking in the spring of 2019 after Magdalena Serpa had done an official report about the uptick in anti-Semitism in the Northern Colorado area and she presented them to the county as a part of a community project they had going on,” said Mariah Kornberg-DeGear, a Task Force member and campus director at CSU Hillel. “She then utilized me as well as students at Hillel and other CSU faculty to research their experiences at CSU, so it developed into conversations about how to instigate change.” There has already been an increase in awareness at the University of the Jewish community’s needs, culture, history and involvement in diversity, Aronis said. “Colorado State University Jewish members have approached us, very pleased with the current trajectory,” Aronis said. Kornberg-DeGear reported

that the Task Force played a large role in helping Jewish students that were living on campus this fall. When a few of the dormitories were first shut down due to COVID-19 cases, housing reached out to Kornberg-DeGear and the academic advisor of Hillel to find out how they could better assist their Jewish community members. The dorm quarantine fell over Yom Kippur, which is one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar and also a time of fasting and reflection, according to Kornberg-DeGear. The Task Force has also already started forming relationships with other groups and clubs on campus with the help of the Race, Bias and Equity Initiative Council, Aronis said. Aronis said that for the Task Force to get to where it is today, she and Henderson, along with other Task Force members, participated in discussions and investigation to become as informed as they could with the struggles the University’s Jewish community faces. Rabbi Yerachmiel Gorelik, executive director of the Chabad Jewish Center of Northern Colorado, and one of the founding members

of the task force who spent 15 years fighting anti-Semitism on campus and in the region, expressed what other goals he has for the community and University going forward. “I would like to see proactive and preventative measures including both a vigorous disciplinary process and comprehensive educational outreach,” Gorelik said. “The administration’s support and stance need to be firm and outspoken. They need to be expressing that anti-Semitism is not just unacceptable but will simply not be tolerated. I just yearn to see that sense of fear, isolation and alienation no longer be a part of the Jewish student’s experience here, as has sadly been the reality for many years.” “I led a research phase within the Task Force where we gathered attestations and observations from Task Force members and others about experiences of anti-Semitism and Jewish exclusion at CSU in recent years,” Aronis said. “We have by now almost 40 pages of incidents and observations; most of them are not reported and/or known to the University.” While there have been some improvements in the University’s

relationship with its Jewish members, Aronis said there is still a long way to go. “Many Jewish students, faculty and staff are harassed, attacked (and) discriminated (against), and their needs are mostly neglected by the system,” Aronis said. “CSU owes the Jewish community some healing and sustainable change.” Aronis said the ultimate goal of the Task Force going forward is to grow the University’s commitment to the safety and inclusion of the Jewish community. “There has been an unprecedented surge in anti-Semitism that has come to the forefront that can no longer be ignored,” Gorelik said. “There was certainly always a degree of protest, but for the most part, it was, like many social injustices, not always addressed. President (Joyce) McConnell realized this and gave anti-Semitism its own forum. We are very grateful after all these years that we are finally in a place where it can get its unique attention.” Read the full article on collegian.com.

CSU’s Mary Ontiveros to retire after 45 years on campus By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt

A prominent figure in the Colorado State University community will retire at the end of the calendar year. Mary Ontiveros, who has worked for years as Colorado State University’s vice president for diversity, will retire after decades of work on campus. According to Academic Impressions, Ontiveros’ job includes developing strategic alliances and partnerships and leading diversity planning efforts. “An alumna of CSU, (Ontiveros) has served in leadership positions including executive director of admissions, an affiliate faculty member in the School of Education and as associate vice president in the Division of Enrollment and Access,” the website reads. “She chairs numerous University committees, councils and task forces aimed at advancing an institutional agenda for inclusive excellence.” Ontiveros has worked at CSU for 45 years but has been involved with CSU since she became a student 51 years ago. Ontiveros said she originally came to CSU to study science and that she wanted to stay in state as she had to pay for college by herself. “There were six kids in the family,” Ontiveros said. “I had to find lots of different work on campus. But staying in the state was an important consideration.” Ontiveros said she loved meeting people at CSU and sharing her culture with them. “I was one of those people who liked informing others about my history and about what that meant,” Ontiveros said. “There were very, very few of us on campus. And it was interesting to see their responses and their reactions. It allowed for really good discussions.” Ontiveros said she’s lived through some memorable moments at CSU, including anti-war riots, the floods and now the COVID-19 pandemic. She said that while these aren’t happy times, she liked conversing with others at the University. “It wasn’t unusual to have really in-depth conversations about the issues of the day and to be able to articulate why we felt the way we felt,” Ontiveros said. “We could still come away being friends.” Ontiveros said that the political climate at CSU has changed over the time she’s spent here, and she feels that it’s now more difficult to ask questions and hold political conversations. “You’re almost wondering, ‘Is this somebody I should even

approach?’ or ‘Should I talk to them?’” Ontiveros said. “I don’t remember that being a part of my experience as an undergraduate, even though I was against the war, and there were people who were in favor of the war; we would have important conversations about that. So I really enjoyed those conversations.” Ontiveros also talked about the way CSU has changed regarding diversity and said when she was an undergraduate, CSU had just introduced a program to bring more students of color onto campus. “The University has been trying to change the complexion of campus for many, many, many years,” Ontiveros said. “There are various institutions who are just now getting started — all I want to say is that the University has been involved in this work for a long time.” Ontiveros also acknowledged that things have changed and much work still has to be done, but she wants students to realize that work for diversity and social justice at CSU is not a new phenomenon. “The University has been trying to do this kind of work for a little while,” Ontiveros said. “But it takes leadership, and there were times when the leaders on campus didn’t particularly subscribe

to the same kind of urgency. I think over time, there has been a difference in that way.” Ontiveros said that she will miss the people and the experiences they have given her the most when she leaves CSU.

“It’s having introduced those kinds of programs and having made a difference in policies and procedures at the University, ... I will miss that. I will miss my role in those kinds of activities.” MARY ONTIVEROS VICE PRESIDENT FOR DIVERSITY

“I think the University has individuals on campus who are absolutely committed and passionate about a couple of issues that are important to me,” Ontiveros said. “Student success is one, and access to higher education is another. (They’re) really trying to break down systems that inhibit individual people from feeling that they aren’t included.” Ontiveros said that she

worked as executive director of admissions early on in her career and created programs that granted better access for students. She said she was later able to talk to people who told her they wouldn’t have been able to graduate if it weren’t for these programs. Ontiveros spoke on a time she received a book years ago with a note from a parent. “The parent said, ‘You gave my son a chance, and this is a book that he has written, and without you giving him a chance and believing (in) him, he would not have been successful,’” Ontiveros said. “It’s having introduced those kinds of programs and having made a difference in policies and procedures at the University, ... I will miss that. I will miss my role in those kinds of activities.” Leslie Taylor, vice president for enrollment and access and a coworker of Ontiveros, wrote in an email to The Collegian about some of Ontiveros’ achievements. “One of the most impactful initiatives (Ontiveros) has spearheaded is the creation of the Principles of Community,” Taylor wrote. “To many, assembling a group of 50 volunteers to discuss and define what it means to be part of the CSU community might sound like a daunting and undesirable task; to Mary (Ontiveros), it was imperative.”

Ontiveros’ work has become a part of CSU culture and has even made an impact statewide with the establishment and leadership of the Colorado Chapter of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, Taylor wrote. “Her strong convictions and passions, her vast knowledge and experience, her calm demeanor and her experience and her fierce tenacity to make things better — and right — have impacted every campus in Colorado,” Taylor wrote. Ontiveros said she considers CSU a university of opportunity. She said attending CSU changed her life as well as the lives of her siblings and son. “There was now an expectation that he would go to college,” Ontiveros said. “So my entire family has been influenced by my decision to stay on campus and to graduate, even though it was not always easy.” Ontiveros said there were reasons not to, but she is glad she had the opportunity to stay at CSU. “When I think of CSU, I think of opportunity and then trying to provide those opportunities to other folks as well,” Ontiveros said.

DAILY HOROSCOPE By: Jorge Espinoza TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (10/15/20) ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Sit back and observe the situation. Your ego is being tested. Others want to see you fail. Avoid lashing out at others. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) You’re great at enjoying the finer things in life; however, you haven’t earned them yet. Get back to work. It will be a long time before you see the fruits of your labor. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) You’ve earned your much-needed break, but it came at a dire cost. Have you learned your lesson, or will you go down the same path? Be proactive; karma is on the way. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Step up to the plate. You’re a great leader, and you know it. You fail yourself when you focus on serving others rather than looking at the bigger picture. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Validation means nothing if you don’t know your life’s purpose. Be more critical of why you’re doing what you’re doing. It’s time for your ego to be reborn.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) When are you going to tap into your unused potential? Remind yourself that you have all the tools you need to accomplish whatever you want. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Your desire to be liked is blocking your success. You’re more likable when you accept yourself as you are. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Life has been sluggish for a while now. Things aren’t speeding up anytime soon. Find gratitude in what’s gone well for you, and make meaning out of what’s failed. You need this time to grow. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Take care of yourself by choosing peace. Avoid anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, angry or unsettled. Your energy is worth protecting and deserves to be channeled into something you’re passionate about. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) The immense pressure you’ve been feeling for a long time will come to an end sooner than you expect. Give yourself grace. You’re almost to the other side. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You need a better outlet. You know your bad habits are not good for you. What’s it going to take for you to be more intentional about the way you treat yourself? PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Embrace your natural beauty. You are a work of art. Take pride in knowing there is nobody who looks like you or can be you. You exist for a reason. Embrace it.

DEBATE >> from page 1 Revisiting the topic of candidate character, one question directly addressed Gardner’s change of attitude toward allowing the nomination of a Supreme Court justice following a vacancy during an election year. Gardner said his original perspective against the nomination four years ago followed suit with the precedence laid out at the time and that his perspective for the nomination was in line with the “precedence laid out in the near 1800s.” Gardner then accused Hickenlooper of withholding an answer on whether or not Hickenlooper supported court packing as a retaliatory action. Court packing, adding additional judges to the circuit of the Supreme Court in order to tilt the views of a court, has grown in political conversations since the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last month. “I don’t like the idea of court packing,” Hickenlooper said, but avoided a yes or no answer when prompted to do so. The candidates also argued on the topic of environmental protection and addressing climate change in Colorado.

Gardner repeatedly accused Hickenlooper of supporting a “further than Green New Deal” and purposely destroying the jobs of fossil fuel employees in the city of Craig, Colorado, citing a Hickenlooper ad in which the former governor proudly discusses closing two coal-fired power plants. Simultaneously, Gardner touted the recently passed Great American Outdoors Act, which he supported in the Senate, calling it “the most important conservation legislation passed in this country in over 50 years.” Hickenlooper criticized Gardner, first for his voting to put a former coal lobbyist in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency and second for his continued support of the Trump Administration, which has a tally of 68 EPA rollbacks relating to clean air, water and land, with 32 more in progress, according to The New York Times. “Just because you have one environmental bill doesn’t make you an environmentalist,” Hickenlooper said. Colorado started to mail out ballots Oct. 9, and citizens can mail their ballots to the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder in time for the election or put them in drop boxes across the county through 7 p.m. Election Day.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

Gardner and Hickenlooper debate: Moderators were the true winners By Mason Holitza @MHolitza

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. It seems as if a good majority of politicians are incredibly insecure about their past. Both Sen. Cory Gardner and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper proved this in their fairly professional representation of government officials at Colorado State University on Oct. 13. The strictly moderated and straightforward debate held in the Lory Student Center Theatre shifted each candidate’s focus back onto themselves, putting their past and present policies under the microscope for criticism. The debate showed exactly how moderators should go about getting answers out of politicians in order to fully inform the public. In a time when facts are often less straightforward to politicians even when they are laid bare, and political events are just terrifyingly entertaining, it seems as if, across the country, moderators have put their feet down to say, “Enough with the pandering.” On Tuesday, they actually managed to get straightforward answers. 9News anchor Kyle Clark and 9News reporter Marshall Zelinger did a commendable job keeping a handle on each candidate, pushing them into clear answers while strictly holding them to their time limits. The two moderators began to demand yes and no answers rapidly without time for excuses as each candidate got defensive. The questions presented the typical gallery, from health care to a new proposition on the ballot that would have Colorado join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Some tough questions were presented that certainly caught the candidates off guard. When Zelinger posed the question about each candidate’s ability to live up to their word, both candidates became lost for words and could only spout excuses, but in some cases, they acknowledged their responsibilities. When evidence of Gardner’s apathy toward keeping his word was presented by Zelinger, Gardner was put in a tough situation. Zelinger quoted the senator in the context of filling the 2016 Supreme Court vacancy as saying, “Our next election is too soon and the stakes are too high; the American people deserve a role in this process.” Zelinger pressed him, asking, “Why should anyone trust anything you’re telling us tonight?” as Gardner said he would support President Donald Trump’s decision to fill the current vacancy if a qualified candidate was presented. This question blindsided the senator, who quickly said that what he was doing was fair. Filling the vacancy now may be constitutional, but it means that

he will not adhere to what he said in 2016. The Republican senator chose to do what became a consistent and blatant occurrence from Hickenlooper as well: dodging and pushing an accusation back upon the opposing candidate. Rather than answer the question of whether or not he was trustworthy, Gardner chose to go after Hickenlooper about a rumor in Congress of expanding the Supreme Court to hold more seats, known as court packing. The rumor, which has not garnered an answer in full support or opposition from former vice president and current presidential candidate Joe Biden, holds some validity as a pathway that Democrats may choose to take. The question has become a hot button issue, but the question of Gardner’s trustworthiness seems to have answered itself. He seems to think that going directly in opposition to what he stated four years ago is simply more moral than packing the Supreme Court. Maybe he should stop and consider putting his own beliefs over that of maintaining the party line. The implication here is that the senator was lying either way, either in 2016 or now. The practice of using a candidate’s own words against them has always been commonplace in political debates, but having it done in such a blatant and unceremonious way is fairly satisfying. Demanding yes or no answers on each candidate’s policy is a good way of delivering clear-cut answers. Another hot topic at the debate was repealing the Affordable Care Act, which would be detrimental to everyone who has or needs health care coverage, especially with pre-existing conditions that could complicate a COVID-19 infection. It wipes away a safety net that was hard to install in the first place; a developed nation with a GDP as high as ours should ensure all of its citizens safety, including those least provided-for, in knowing that they can get coverage. Hickenlooper stated that in the past, GOP senators have blocked any attempt to improve the bill. Gardner, on the other hand, repeatedly stated that his bill mandates coverage to anyone with a pre-existing condition without providing any greater detail than that. Oil and gas holds a checkered past for both candidates. While Hickenlooper accepted financial compensation from oil and gas companies during his time as governor, they have dropped off of his significant donors list, as he has shifted his focus to creating jobs in renewable energy. This is a touchy subject for those who currently make a living in the oil and gas industry, as the illusion is that these new renewable energy jobs will not be available to those people, who may lose their current jobs. In some cases, this can be true, but it is a cheaper and more efficient option for Colorado power. The moderating at this debate should set an example for the presidential debates, demanding answers and not letting the candidates talk around the questions.

CSU BASKETBALL

A new look at the CSU men’s basketball team By Bailey Bassett @baileybassett_

The Colorado State University football team plays their first game in a week and a half, and the men’s basketball team returns not too long after that in December. The CSU basketball team is most definitely on the come-up. The young squad lost three players to graduation. Nico Carvacho, the team’s legendary big man who has taken his talents overseas, will be tough to replace. Kris Martin and Hyron Edwards also saw time in the rotation last season and will need to be replaced. Head coach Niko Medved’s squad is still young and loaded with talent. Isaiah Stevens will be asked to be the best player this season. Last season, Stevens led the team in points, assists, minutes and field goal attempts. The offense runs through Stevens, and the second-year point guard is the heart and soul of the team. After earning third-team Mountain West and freshman of the year, Stevens will need to take the next step as the best player for CSU to reach its full potential. Stevens’ backcourt mate is Kendle Moore, who is entering his third season. Moore got 9 points

per game and shot 43.5% from three last season. His true value comes on the defensive side of the ball. Moore is an absolute pest who always exerts his maximum energy on defense, as emphasized by his team-leading 1.3 steals per game. P.J. Byrd also returns to the guard position this season. Byrd was primarily a backup last season, but the team has high hopes for the Virginia Commonwealth University transfer. His 3-point stroke looks promising, as he connected on 4 of his 7 attempts last season.

“The loss of last year’s seniors hurts, but there are suitable replacement options, and CSU should bring out an even better team this season.” CSU was 20-12 overall last season, and a big reason why was the excellence of freshman David Roddy. Roddy came onto the scene strong after being inserted into the starting lineup. Now, as a sophomore, Roddy will be tasked with taking over a lot of the production that Carvacho provided

in years past. Roddy isn’t a prototypical center like the 7-foot Carvacho was, but he is still a beast in the paint. At 6 feet and 5 inches, Roddy is more of a wing, but weighing in at 250 pounds he is an absolute bully. Roddy fights for rebounds and collected 5.6 per game last season. That number will have to improve without Carvacho’s presence. Roddy excels at scoring tough buckets down low against bigger defenders; if he can improve his 3-point shot, he will be one of the toughest forces to be reckoned with in the Mountain West Conference. Stevens and Roddy were only two of the freshman to see major impact last season. John Tonje and Dischon Thomas were also vital members of the rotation last season. Tonje is an explosive wing who has a chance to be CSU’s most improved player this year. His production wasn’t the highest last season, but he is the full package offensively. With perhaps the most bounce on the team and a reliable three-point shot, look for Tonje to surprise many this season and make a name for himself. Thomas has an extremely tough assignment ahead of him. With Carvacho’s departure, CSU finds itself a lot smaller and desper-

ate for rebounding and solid, bigman play. Thomas can provide just that, as he was the poster boy for consistency last season. He would only spell Carvacho for limited minutes last season, but whenever he stepped on the floor, he seemed to do exactly what the team needed. A good defender, rebounder and screen setter, Thomas will also provide a good mid-range stroke, an element that wasn’t there with Carvacho. Adam Thistlewood is CSU’s 3-point specialist. An ankle injury somewhat limited Thistlewood last season, but he still started 28 games. He got 10.2 points per game while chucking up five 3-point attempts per game at a 39.3% clip, a solid mark for that high of volume. At 6 foot 6 inches, Thistlewood has a high and quick release that is tough to defend. He provided much more than just 3 shooting and will be a key starter this season. The rest of the team will be allnew to CSU in-game action. Ignas Sargiunas sat out last season due to transfer rules from the University of Georgia. The 6-foot-5-inch guard will be a welcome addition. He has a 3-point strap and should add a boost offensively for the Rams. James Moors is also familiar

with the squad as a member last season, but he redshirted. Another guy who will fill the Carvacho void, Moors is a stretch four/five who can knock down the three-ball. Jacob Jennissen, Isaiah Rivera and Trace Young are all freshmen. If any or all of them can come in like last year’s freshmen and produce, that will be massive in building on last season. Jennissen hails from Minnesota and is an intriguing center prospect. He is tall and skinny with some guard skills, and those types of players seem to be more commonplace in modern basketball. Rivera is a three-level scorer from Illinois. At 6 foot 5 inches with good strength, Rivera can play guard or forward. Young is a flashy guard from Texas. He’ll need to add strength but is intriguing as a special ball-handler who can finish inside and shoot as well. Medved has turned this program around since becoming the head coach, and CSU is headed in the right direction. The loss of last year’s seniors hurts, but there are suitable replacement options, and CSU should bring out an even better team this season. Bailey Bassett can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

CULTURE & COMMUNITY

Nora Baker, Name In Blood’s first female skateboarder By Jenna Landry @yesjennalandry

Nora Baker first stepped on a skateboard when she was just 5 years old. Now going on 17 in December, Baker has made strides in the Fort Collins skateboarding community. Most recently, on Oct. 1, she became the first female skateboarder to join Name In Blood Skateboards, a Colorado skateboard company. “It was just in the family,” Baker said. “And I wasn’t good at softball.” Baker’s dad, Orlando Baker, and brother, Tsedeq Baker, were both semi-professional skateboarders with a similar style to the one Nora picked up. “Well, my older brother influences me a lot,” Baker said. “He pushes me really hard and wants me to succeed. But my dad, he treated me like his little prodigy, so I didn’t really like that.”

Baker said her favorite female skateboarder is Nicole Hause, a mostly vert, semi-professional skateboarder sponsored by Nike Skateboarding, Anti-Hero and several others. Baker isn’t alone in being the only girl on a skateboard team. Girl Skateboards recently added Breana Geering to their team, where she’s the first female skateboarder since the company’s founding in 1993. Like in other sports, female skaters are underrepresented in the community and aren’t offered the same opportunities that men receive. Baker said that not many girls skateboard in Fort Collins, adding that many of her friends instead skate in Denver. “It’s just intimidating, especially when you go to a new park,” Baker said. “In the cities, when you go to a new park, everybody just assumes so much out of you so fast, so it’s scary.”

“I just want to inspire other girls, just to show that anybody can do it ... even though it’s scary (and) intimidating, you can do it, you just got to keep pushing.” NORA BAKER LOCAL SKATEBOARDER

Now, Baker is making a name for herself at Name In Blood Skateboards. “It’s weird (getting on a board company),” Baker said. “I’m happy, but I’m the only girl on it, so it’s a lot of pressure. I’m not really good at anything else — this is all I do; I don’t have a life.” Baker said her favorite skate park in Fort Collins is Northside DIY - Aztlan Skatepark, next to the Northside Aztlan Community Center located at 112 E. Willow St. Because Baker spends so much time at the skatepark, she’s well-known in the area. “Baker is a legend, a young legend,” local skateboarder Isaac McKinley said. “I’ve known her for five years now, (and) she’s really good at skating, better than me — better than most people here, actually.” Baker rode an 8.5 inch skateboard, but said she now prefers an 8.75 inch because she has “baby feet.” Before she began skating for Name in Blood Skateboards, Baker said she liked Creature Skateboards because of their concave, and 303 Boards, a Colorado-owned and operated skateboard and skating attire store with locations in Denver and Boulder. Baker said she enjoys vert skating the most, and at Northside Skatepark, she likes skating the bowl or the 5-foot quarter pipe.

There are several women in skateboarding, such as Elissa Steamer, Fabiana Delfino and Una Farrar, but there are less in Colorado. When a girl like Nora gets on a board company, it has a huge impact on girls who skate in the community. “I think it’ll help influence other girls because it’s representation,” said Jillian Vargas, a local skateboarder. “There are big-name girl pro-skaters, but what they’re doing always seems out of reach. Nora getting on a board company shows it’s actually possible and will inspire other girl skaters to push for that.” Vargas said she looks up to Baker as an inspiration and that Baker has helped her grow as a skateboarder. “Sometimes the skate park can be intimidating, especially as a girl, but she always shows up and owns it,” Vargas said. “She’s also helped me so many times with tricks I’m trying to learn, and not a lot of people take the time to do that. Nora is probably the most bad*ss skater I know, and I’m stoked to see her out there killing it.” “I just want to inspire other girls, just to show that anybody can do it,” Baker said. “Even though it’s scary (and) intimidating, you can do it. You just got to keep pushing.” Jenna Landry can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

CULTURE & COMMUNITY

The Fort Collins Bison Project educates public on conservation By Kailey Pickering @PickeringKailey

The 2020 Fort Collins Book Fest brought forward many virtual events. In 2016 the book fest was established by librarians, book lovers and writers. The inaugural theme in 2016 was Brewin’ Up Books, a tribute to Fort Collins’ love of breweries. Since then, the book fest has not only included writing workshops with coffee and tea but has grown to include talks about impacts in the community. On Sunday, Oct. 11, there was a segment on the Bison Project happening in Fort Collins. Jennifer Barfield, an assistant professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University, led the event. “Our goal with the herd was to create a conservation herd that can be used as a seed herd, which means we could take the animals, allow them to grow here, allow the herd to grow and then lose some of those animals to other conservation herds that may need or want their genetics,” Barfield explained. Barfield also explained that it is important to preserve bison with Yellowstone genetics because Yellowstone bison could have brucellosis, a bacterial disease that can easily be passed on to the rest of the herd. “What we decided to do was that we wanted to preserve their genetics, and we could do that using assisted reproductive technologies and really essentially creating offspring that had those Yellowstone

L P H E

genetics that didn’t have the disease,” Barfield said. Barfield also showed the audience slides of bison ovaries, eggs and sperm. One video captured the seven-day span taken for a sperm to fertilize the egg. In this video, Barfield pointed out the clear barrier around the embryo. This is called a protective barrier, which is “really important for our work with the bison because it protects them from the brucellosis, the bacteria that causes brucellosis,” Barfield explained. Barfield also described that, in the lab, they wash the embryo to help protect it from the brucellosis bacteria. She showed the audience how the embryo is cleaned through a demonstration. The audience was able to see under Barfield’s microscope where she picked up the embryo in a dropper, exerted it into a drop of water, took it out and repeated it with another drop. She explained that this is done up to 10 times to clean the embryo. “Embryo transfer is when you take an embryo from one female and you put it into another female,” Barfield said. By taking one embryo from a female infected with brucellosis, cleaning it and putting it into a female without brucellosis, Barfield said that it helps the health of the fetus. The breeding season for Bison is in July, August and September, according to Barfield. Out of the breeding season, Barfield said the embryos are put into suspended animation. There are two ways this can be approached: by freezing the eggs or by vitrification.

D U R I N G

Barfield expressed that eggs can be frozen by being placed in a straw that is placed in a machine that freezes the eggs very slowly, and the eggs will then be stored in liquid nitrogen. The other process, vitrification, varies from freezing, as the solution used turns the embryo and everything around it into glass, Barfield explained. Barfield gave a demonstration of this process as well. In her demonstration, Barfield took the embryo and then used a small amount of liquid to put the embryo on a vitrification device called a Cryotop. From there, Barfield placed the Cryotop into liquid nitrogen, and as the embryo entered the liquid on the Cryotop, a sizzle was emitted. Barfield explained the sizzle was “really the embryo and all of the fluid around it turning to glass. So liquid nitrogen is incredibly cold. It’s 196 degrees below zero in Celsius.” Barfield put the lid on the Cryotop and the process was finished. Barfield explained that through vitrification, the embryos could be preserved from hundreds to, potentially, thousands of years. The next step is to store the embryos in liquid nitrogen tanks. To take the embryos out of their animated suspension, Barfield said that there are certain solutions the embryo is put through to ease it out gradually. Barfield also showed an embryo transfer gun. “It’s called a gun, but it is really just like a very, very long pipette,” Barfield said. She explained that the embryo is put into a straw that is placed in the gun. The female bison

is given an epidural so she’s comfortable, and the gun places the embryo in her uterus, where Barfield and her team hope for a pregnancy. According to Barfield, in the herd, different bison have different tags. “You’ll see that some of their tags say AI, and then a number,” Barfield said. “And that stands for artificial insemination, so those were animals that we did the insemination of the female to produce that animal. And then there are others that say art, and that means that that was an embryo. That female — we have some females out there that were embryo transfer females — she was created by us moving the embryo from one female to another.” After testing the calves and confirming their health, the bison are sent into the herd. Barfield said that some bison have been taken to other places across the country. Some have been taken to other conservation herds to breed with more bison, some have been given to Native American tribes, and one was born at the Bronx Zoo. In November, the Bison Project will celebrate its fifth year of reproducing more bison. Barfield explained that there will be celebrations put on by those working with the bison to get the community involved. The Laramie Foothills Bison Herd is located in Fort Collins and can be visited with proper social distancing. Barfield and her team strive to continue their success in impacting the bison.

WE NEED YOUR HELP: WATER RESTRICTIONS BEGIN OCT. 1 To lower risks to our community, we need all customers to reduce water use to winter (indoor) levels early this year. Mandatory restrictions for all customers begin Oct. 1. Stop lawn watering, don’t wash your vehicle at home, and sweep leaves and dirt instead of pressure washing.

STOP OUTDOOR WATER USE OCT. 1

WHAT’S IN THE WORKS Outdoor water restrictions begin Oct. 1. Restrictions will help manage water availability for our community due to the Cameron Peak Fire, drought conditions and the Horsetooth Outlet Project (HOP). HOP is an important infrastructure project on the outlet that provides water to Fort Collins Utilities and Soldier Canyon water treatment facilities and will strengthen the Horsetooth Reservoir water delivery infrastructure for the future. The Cameron Peak Fire could affect water quality in the Poudre River during future runoff seasons, making it crucial to complete the reservoir maintenance now.
