Student fee increase pays for trail expansion, mobile bike shop By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry

Students biking or walking to class from the north side of campus may have noticed a change to their commute this year—but they might not have realized that they’re paying for it. Following an increase of $4.27 to the alternative transportation student fee last year, the Alternative Transportation Fee Advisory Board celebrat-

ed the launch of its first-ever infrastructural investment on campus, the renovation of the Green Trail, along with two new projects Aug. 21. The Green Trail, which runs from the Shields underpass all the way to the Lory Student Center, was both expanded and separated to provide distinct pedestrian and cycling paths from the Rec Center to the underpass. Previously, the sidewalk was a single, 10-foot path for cy-

clists and pedestrians. Following the renovation, that original 10-foot path is now exclusively for pedestrians, with an added, separate 12-foot bike trail, said Wendell Stainsby, student vice chair of ATFAB. The paths themselves are now separated by four feet, according to the project proposal. Additionally, the $30.50 student fee for alternative transportation helped fund a mobile bike shop launched by The Spoke, Colorado State Univer-

sity’s educational bike shop and SkiCSU, which provides roundtrip transportation between CSU and designated ski resorts throughout the ski season. These projects were the first to be funded by the alternative transportation fee, which previously had been implemented to provide access to public transportation such as Transfort to students, said Hanna Johnson, student chair of ATFAB. “Although transit is great, (we realized) that’s not really

enough for the students’ needs on campus,” Johnson said. “There are a lot of areas on campus that need improving if you’re riding a bike, if you’re walking to campus or if you’re in a mobile device like a wheelchair.” Johnson and Stainsby said ATFAB provided $208,000 for the renovation of the trail, with matching funds from Facilities.

Democratic 2nd congressional district candidate discusses immigration, climate By Samantha Ye @samxye4

From reforming immigration to addressing climate change, Joe Neguse has prepared detailed plans for the direction of Congress—now all he has to do is get there. The 34-year-old Democrat is running to replace Jared Polis as representative for Congressional District 2, which includes Larimer County. If elected, Neguse would be the first African-American elected by Colorado to Congress and one of the youngest members serving in the House of Representatives. It would be a situation Neguse is familiar with. In 2008, the University of Colorado at Boulder-graduate was elected to the Colorado University Board of Regents, making him the second African-American regent in Colorado history, according to his campaign site. In 2015, he was appointed executive director of the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies under Hickenlooper which, at age 31, made him one of the youngest people nationally to head a state cabinet. Though a congressional representative is a major step up in terms of responsibilities and competition, Neguse said his deep concerns with

the direction of the county ultimately drove him to run for the role in Congress. “If there were ever a time for people of good faith to stand up and serve, now would be it,” Neguse said. Neguse criticized the “unjust and immoral conduct” from the Trump administration, citing the separation of children from parents at the border and President Donald Trump’s many disparaging comments about the press. Instead of coming together to address issues like student debt, Neguse said Congress has remained complicit in allowing the administration to “undermine every bit of progress we made under the Obama administration.” Much of Neguse’s platform includes continuing ideas currently circulating within the Democratic Party, either by supporting already introduced bills like the Expanded & Improved Medicare-For-All Act for universal healthcare or pushing for popular progressive reforms like universal background checks for gun purchases. But just as important to him, Neguse said, is achieving bipartisan cooperation. He cited his time on the Republican-majority Board of Regents and in the state consumer protection agency as evidence of his ex-

perience working with people from both major parties to achieve the greatest good possible. “I would try to bring that same philosophy, that ethos, that we had here in Colorado that at the end of the day, more important than your party affiliation is what you intend to do for the people that you seek to represent,” Neguse said. He hopes his bipartisan drive, if elected, will be a distinguishing part of his service. He also hopes this year’s election will bring more young, new faces to Congress who are willing to work across the aisle. Having co-founded New Era Colorado, a non-profit dedicated to registering and mobilizing young voters, Neguse is particularly committed to giving young people’s concerns the proper representation. “I think representation matters and it’s important for the young people here in our district to have a voice,” Neguse said. Neguse said electing him for this university-laden district would be “a great way to ensure that young people have a seat at the table.” But irrespective of who they support, Neguse said it is crucial for students to turn out and participate this November for the most important election of their lifetimes. Campaign platforms Neguse has plans for a wide

range of action, with each solution tailored to a problem he sees. On climate change, Neguse views it as “an existential threat” which Congress must combat in several different ways: pricing carbon or charging a “carbon tax” on carbon dioxide emitters, eliminating oil and gas subsidies and in-

creasing investments in renewable energy such as solar and wind. “An omnibus piece of legislation that drives us towards a carbon-free future, I think, is incredibly important for our country and for, not just our generation. . . but see JOE NEGUSE on page 6 >>

NASA funds $1.6 million air quality study by CSU researchers By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

A Colorado State University research team’s air quality monitors, which will soon sit in backyards across the nation, will provide citizens with an opportunity to contribute to NASA research. The CSU research team, Citizen-Enabled Aerosol Measurements for Satellites, received $1.6 million in funding from NASA to better map air quality from the ground, which will improve NASA’s satellite detection of pollution from space. CEAMS researches particulate matter called PM2.5, which is any particle in the air that has a diameter of less than 2.5 microns. PM2.5 can come from anything including ocean spray from crashing waves, forest fire smoke and man made pollution. The group is looking into PM2.5 because it causes more negative health effects due to its small size. CEAMS was one of six teams selected out of the sixteen citizen scientists projects for the funding. With the funding, CEAMS was able to build air quality monitors that utilize improvements in technology that cost around $1,000. These monitors normally cost $20,000-$50,000 according to John Volckens, the principal investigator for this project. “We’ve taken advantage of this do-it-yourself electronics revolution that’s happened over the last 10 years,” Volckens said. “So a lot of those components can be purchased at low costs, and we are simply repurposing them for air quality monitoring.” This allows 20-50 monitors

Bike Expansion >> from page 1 Assistant Director of Central Receiving Heather Reimer said the alternative transportation fee funded approximately $30,000 for the pop-up Spoke shop. Erika Benti, active transportation professional at CSU, said ATFAB contributed $8,768 to the SkiSU project for the upcoming academic year. This will help cover the cost of 10 trips to a variety of ski resorts over the course of the 2018-19 ski/snowboard season. Johnson said ATFAB, which reviews projects to be funded by the alternative transportation student fee on an annual basis, wanted to be able to invest in alternative transportation for those students as well, and one of the most-demanded projects on

to be deployed in one area for the existing expense of deploying one. Currently, the Environmental Protection Agency uses around 4,000 air quality monitors spread across the country to monitor the air quality in the United States, where cities like Fort Collins or Denver only have one to three spread across a city, Volckens said.

“If you live 10 miles from an air quality monitor it’s not exactly clear if the air you’re breathing is the same air that monitor is measuring,” Volckens said. “So you don’t quite know how clean the air is that you’re breathing in your backyard.” In addition to lowering the cost of monitors, CEAMS utilizes citizen scientists to take air quality measurements in their backyard, said Shantanu Jathar, a co-investigator on the team. For the pilot project, CEAMS deployed monitors around Fort Collins using an established citizen-science network called the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, which uses citizen scientists to monitor water fall. Marliee Long, a co-investigator for the group, runs the outreach section of the project by crafting messages to appeal to different audiences. campus was this trail. “Pedestrians and cyclists have said they’ve almost been hit in that area, and then it was a huge safety issue from dozens of students,” Johnson said. “When we had the opportunity to finally have funding for infrastructure projects, this was really our priority, not only as chair and vice chair but our whole board really saw this was a huge need of students.” Alternative Transportation Manager Aaron Fodge said on Aug. 20, 2,596 bicyclists and 443 pedestrians used the underpass alone, not counting the students who joined the trail from other directions, such as from the resident halls on the north side of campus. “We’re getting thousands of people a day that are taking this trail, and before they would have to share the trail with pedestrians,” Fodge said. “We didn’t have a sidewalk that was anywhere

“I’m interested in, ‘How does (participating) influence their knowledge on the link between air quality and the environment, and air quality and health?’” Long said. “Like, if you had really bad allergies and you can find out what the pollen count is, you might change your behavior for that day.” The monitors are broken down into three parts: a real time air quality measurement, an almost weekly filter sample to analyze the particulates in the sky and a sun photometer that uses a change in the sun’s ray strength to measure pollu-

tion. The research group is working on improving the sun photometer to automatically detect clouds and follow the sun’s path across the sky, said Jeff Pierce, a co-investigator for the group. Through three deployments starting in January 2019, monitors will be deployed in Denver, Los Angeles, Idaho and eastern Washington to obtain data from areas with varying population sizes and varying sources of pollution. The data will then be compared to NASA’s air quality satellites to improve the accuracy of the satellites. “We hope to provide insight

on best practices for citizen science, develop a high-quality instrument that can be widely used in our field, and provide insight on surface air quality in different regions,” CEAMS Project Manager Bonne Ford wrote in an email to The Collegian. “Additionally, we hope to take the data collected to improve some of the work already being done on translating satellite observations to surface air quality so that the information we learn can be applied in other regions that do not have surface observations.” Julia Trowbridge can be reached at news@collegian.com.

near big enough to support the number of people that ride bikes here at CSU.” Both Fodge and Johnson said, although this project was the first infrastructural investment made by the board, the project had been developing for years. “The 2014 bicycle master plan for the University outlined this project. We had landscape architectural students that actually designed a preliminary look at what the trail could be, and over the last two years ATFAB has asked the University to cost-estimate what this project would look like,” Fodge said. Reimer said the Spoke, which is also funded in part by Housing and Dining Services and Central Receiving, requested additional funding from ATFAB in order to expand their reach through the mobile shop and extend the hours at their main shop, located in the Pavillion.

In particular, Reimer said it was important to extend the bike shop’s educational programming beyond the north side of campus, where the main shop is located. Coleman Centola, a senior economics major who built the mobile Spoke pop-up shop over the summer, said the mobile shop is intended to visit eight locations decided based on a bike-distribution map, a high-bicycle-density map and a path-convergence map to maximize student use. “We do exactly what the Spoke does, so we have the educational component ... If you stick around and learn how to do it, it’s free,” Coleman said. “The line is ‘We will put the tools in your hand’ … It’s pretty much fully equipped to handle most minor bike adjustments and bike repairs.” Coleman, who has worked at the Spoke since he was a freshman, said the shop’s analysis determined that although students

living on the south side of campus have more bikes, almost all the students who come into the physical store are from the dorms located near the shop, which is next to Durrell in Laurel Village. Tristan Syron, Associated Students of Colorado State University student body president, spoke at the grand opening event about the importance of student fees. “That’s the coolest thing about Colorado State University: if you have a dream and you have a passion, whether it’s concrete trails, or water bottle refilling stations, or anything your brain could possibly imagine, you have the ability to make it happen,” Syron said. “I think we all have to thank our fellow students, because ultimately they’re still the ones paying for it.” Natalia Sperry can be reached at news@collegian.com.

RamWeb banking information editing capability disabled after phishing scam By Samantha Ye @samxye4

Colorado State University is currently re-evaluating security in regards to the recent phishing attacks against CSU students. This re-evaluation includes restricting the ability to edit student bank account information on Ramweb. Phishing is the practice of sending fraudulent emails or other communications in an attempt at convincing individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers, according to Phishing.org. A CSU Public Safety Team email sent out Sunday alerted the campus of a phishing attack targeting students for the RamWeb login information. The University disabled the ability to edit banking account information as soon they learned of the phishing attacks, said Lynn Johnson, vice president for University operations. The phishing attempt appeared to be after money, and the best way to get money is by getting access to students’ RamWeb accounts, Johnson said. The attacker can then edit the student’s banking account information and reroute any potential financial aid deposit refunds to an account the phisher can access. These phishing emails attempted to gain access to students’ RamWeb account by sending them to a fake webpage resembling a University page and having them enter their login information. One example of such an email, posted on a RamWeb notification, alerted students their eBill is avail-

Joe Neguse >> from page 3 for, not just our generation...but for the generations that will follow,” Neguse said. In regards to immigration, Neguse has an even more personal connection as his parents immigrated to the U.S. from Eritrea, then a country at war. Neguse, again citing the effects of increased family separation, said his top concern right now is the treatment of immigrants by the current administration, “I say that as a son of immigrants, as someone who has been fortunate to be a citizen of our country, to live the American Dream,” Neguse said. “And given my parent’s journey to this country, immigration reform is something I care deeply about.” Reform he supports includes passing a clean Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Mi-

able online and asks them to login and view their statement even if they had viewed it previously that week. Another example told students they have been awarded financial aid and to view their rewards on RamWeb. The University is working to find a way to let students edit their information through other ways, possibly paper, and will be getting that information out as soon as possible, University officials said. The ability to edit that information online may or may not return. “Because there was no RamWeb security issue — it was just simply that someone got access to someone’s login credential — I think we (have) to evaluate that,” Vice President for Enrollment and Access Leslie Taylor said. Students whose account information did not change in the concerning time frame will still receive their refund checks as normal, Johnson said. If there were changes, the University will reach out to verify it was a student-authorized change. Although phishers probably wish to zero-in on students more likely to receive such refunds, Johnson said it is unlikely the phishers will have any way to access that data. Other sensitive information on student’s account such as Social Security numbers or the actual bank account information are partially hidden with asterisks on RamWeb, so attackers would not be able to learn those even if they accessed the account. Taylor said the pool of targeted students appears relatively small at the moment, though it is im-

possible to tell how many students simply were sent an email and did not act on it. As of now, the University believes about a dozen students were affected by or received the phishing emails, Taylor said. The University discovered the phishing attack after one student reported a change in their account information which they did not make and another student forwarded the University the actual phishing email they had received. Further communication with other universities revealed this attack occurred at various other institutions in a similar manner. The CSU Police Department is currently investigating. The emails, using falsified return addresses, appeared to be from CSU, used official University graphics, and included official CSU links. However, the main webpage they would route to would have a slightly altered URL. “From the enrollment and access side of things, our immediate response was to make sure students were taken care of and... from the business and financial side we really wanted to make sure no students are missing money that should’ve been dispersed,” Taylor said. “Taking care of students was our main focus and the most important thing to do right away.” Any student who thinks they may have lost money or had their account compromised are encouraged to contact CSUPD at 970491-6425 or the Information Security team at soc@colostate.edu.

nors Act to give immigrant youth and young adults brought to the U.S. as minors a path to citizenship, reforming the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, and a comprehensive reform akin to the 2013 bill proposed by the bipartisan Gang of Eight which passed in Senate but not the House. When it comes to free speech and social media, Neguse said he would devote more quantitative research into the issue to find a solution. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have come under fire from all sides of the political spectrum in the last few years for allowing foreign influences to spread political disinformation and discord on their platforms and more recently, for alleged political censorship. Neguse said he believes there needs to be some form of federal regulation of major social platforms but he is currently unsure of what legislative vehicle that would take. As a younger candidate who

knows the importance of legal cannabis, Neguse said he supports something like the Marijuana Justice Act to legalize it federally. Neguse is also determined to hold the U.S. Department of Education accountable for their regulatory actions by using Congress’ oversight powers. He also hopes to make higher education more accessible by “ensuring that every public higher education graduate finishes debt-free,” according to his campaign website. And if the opportunity arises, Neguse says he would vote to impeach Trump. “I do believe that this president, based on the body of evidence that’s out there, has committed high crimes and misdemeanors,” Neguse said. “And, I’d vote to begin the impeachment process.” Samantha Ye can be reached at news@collegian.com.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

to decrease stress to Police called on two girls How stay successful this semester during brewery tour 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. A new school year always entails changes whether we are prepared for them or not. Maybe you just turned 21, your girlfriend dumped you, or your roommate turned out to have a very different definition of the word “cleanliness.” Whatever it may be, life events such as these can impact your physical and mental well-being and ultimately your performance in the classroom, on the field or at work. Physical health is relatively straightforward. There are things you can do that will make your life easier that take little to no effort, like wearing a helmet while riding your bike or even just making sure to look both ways before crossing the street. Other things might not be as obvious. Specifically, many students overlook just how important a regular sleep schedule is. According to one study, 50 percent of college students reported daytime sleepiness and 70 percent reported insufficient sleep overall. A lack of adequate sleep can also result in lower grade point averages, increased risk of academic failure, and impaired mood.

Compromising your GPA is one of the main risks you take when you do not get adequate sleep. Missing class to catch up on sleep can be the start of a vicious cycle. The first step would be to do your best and not put yourself in the position where you do have to stay up late to complete an assignment. Once you have managed that, getting enough sleep becomes an attainable goal. While being a student should be your top priority, making it a point to get regular exercise will also improve both your physical and mental health. Exercising releases endorphins that interact with receptors in your brain which trigger a positive feeling in the body thus boosting your mood and improving your mental health. Not to mention, there is a good chance you will experience a feeling of accomplishment in the short-term, and in the long-term a boost of self-esteem when you start to see physical improvements. Whether you want to dance, bike, jog, swim, lift weights or become a yogi, the important thing is that you get up and move. It can be intimidating to start your fitness journey, especially on your own. Thankfully, the Recreation Center on campus conveniently offers free group fitness classes. Regular exercise is also linked to reduced stress, lower blood pressure, increased energy levels and improved sleep. No wonder that gym fiend you know is always in an obnoxiously good mood!

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. The mothers of two college girls believe that their daughters were the victims of profiling during a brewery tour at New Belgium Brewing Company in Fort Collins. The two girls, Lauren and Becky, have recently turned 21 and drove all the way from Kansas City to Fort Collins to visit the famous New Belgium Brewery. They had been waiting for a long time to taste the beloved golden Coloradoan drink. So these two friends scraped up their money, took off the weekend, and made the road trip across their state to enter Colorado and fulfill their dreams. However, their dreams were crushed when a man who was also on the same brewery tour of the two blond Kansas City girls called Fort Collins Police because he became nervous when the two ladies joined the tour late. The local police responded

quickly and arrived on the scene in less than 5 minutes. After speaking with the two women, the police eventually confirmed that they were a part of the brewery tour and Becky and Lauren were allowed to rejoin the group. However, the tour had moved on without them and the women missed the second half. “It just shocking cause this thing has never really happened to me before. We were pretty embarrassed to be called over by the police in front of so many people” said Becky, who did not to disclose her full name. “It’s not like we are dangerous, I hear of these things happening all the time but I never thought it would happen to me. Lauren and I are like, really pretty girls, this shouldn’t be allowed.” The transcript of the 911 call made was released by the Fort Collins Police Department. During the call, the man claimed that the two girls suspiciously joined the tour late and seemed out of place. “They joined our tour and wouldn’t give their names”, the man reported to the dispatcher. “Their clothing stands out, they stand out. I think someone should get down here, they are obviously suspicious.” The man also told the dis-

patcher that the girls’ clothing had weird wording and symbols on it. The man claimed to have asked the girls what beers they were planning on tasting during the tour, but he said that they were obviously lying when they gave him their answer. “They are liars”, said the recording, “they told me they wanted to have the Old Aggie Lager, but that can’t be true.” Lauren and Becky decided to leave after their encounter with police and drove back to Kansas. They came to Colorado with a hope and a prayer to be able to enjoy a brewery tour in Fort Collins and were sent back home unsuccessful. New Belgium Brewery reached out to the girls’ family and expressed their concern for what happened during the tour. They also sent out an email to their distribution list. “As an alcoholic beverage community, we deeply regret the experience of these patrons while they were guests at our facilities,” stated the email. “We like to believe that we and the Fort Collins’ community would never partake in such profiling or discrimination.” Rory Plunkett can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Designers such as Prada, Fendi, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney and more, presented men’s overcoats to be one of the top looks for this fall. Chilly? Balenciaga and Bazaar Magazine recommend an oversized bright colored jacket for this Fall. “Oversized is the way to wear your outerwear this fall”, according to Nicole Fritton from Bazaar. Marni, Marc Jacobs, Prada, Dries Van Noten, Versace, and other designers also supported the fashion movement on the runway this season. A patchwork is no longer a fallback option for when your jeans rip. Mix up your wardrobe for a timeless folk look. Head on over to Joanne’s as well for crochet materials to spice up the look. Or take a look through your grandmas closet. It’s never been easier to look runway on the streets of Fort Collins. Simply walk into Arc Thrift Store for your vintage jackets and floral outfits. Floral is the Fall accent this season. Keep your sheer floral dresses out this season to be mixed with your bomber jackets. Michael Kors presented a floral dress paired with a red bomber jacket and black boots on the runway, with similar floral outfits from Marine Serre, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Giambattista Valli, Valentino, Christian Dior, Gucci and more designers. Black leather jackets have been an iconic wardrobe essential since post-WWI. Harley Davidson brought the look from fighter pilots to stores and since, has become a statement piece in most closets. Marc Jacobs, Saint Laurent, Versace and other designers made sure to nod at the piece in their Fall 2018 collections, suggesting that we pull out those jackets and rock them this season. Nicole Fritton from Bazaar suggests that “clean, lean, and chic-white is the perfect palette cleanser for Fall. Think: Maxi in length and slim in silhouette. Looking at the details, the scarf-tied neck is the freshest approach to this minimal moment.” Valentino, Chloe, Jacquemus and other designers presented their own spin on this statement for Fall. Keep an eye out for white slimming dresses matched with men’s overcoats this season, and send in your favorite OOTD for a chance to be shared on our Instagram.

VOLLEYBALL

Rams’ Volleyball dominates preseason award picks By Mack Beaulieu @Macknz_James

Editor’s note: this article was originally published online Aug. 15 For the fifth-consecutive season, the Colorado State Rams were picked to win the Mountain West among a slew of recognition from the conference’s coaches Aug. 15 which included a pick of Katie Oleksak for Conference Player of the Year. Along with Oleksak, three other Rams were recognized by the coaches as the Rams are predicted to take four of

the seven All-Conference selections this year. The predictions did not really go out on a limb, with the same four players in Oleksak, Breana Runnels, Paulina Hougaard-Jensen and Kirstie Hillyer having all earned selections last year. Oleksak led the team in sets last year and ranked eighth in the nation in assists, Runnels led the team in kills as a freshman; Hougaard-Jensen was second in the nation in hitting percentage and Hillyer averaged almost three kills per set with 10 double-digit kill matches. No other team had more than one player selected for

the preseason team. Expectations are high for the Rams, who have taken 14 of the 19 Mountain West Volleyball titles. The team received 100 points in total and 10 of 11 first place votes from the league’s head coaches. Wyoming came up second in the coach’s poll with 91 points and earned the only other first place vote. Mack Beaulieu can be reached online at sports@collegian.com

WOMEN’S SOCCER

CSU goalkeeper recognized early for defensive prowess By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

After a Colorado Cup that resulted in a pair of draws for Colorado State women’s soccer, goalie Hunter Peifer was tabbed the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week. A redshirt junior from Colorado herself, Peifer led the way for the Rams in a pair of matches that saw their offense sputter to begin the season. The accolade stands as the first of its reverence in the program’s history,

the second overall in its history. The goalkeeper was the starter and played every minute of the team’s pair of opening matches, accruing a .938 save percentage, allowing a single goal between the two draws. The highlight of the opening tournament came against instate rival Colorado when Peifer made 10 saves in the match, the second-most by a single player in program history for a single game. The accomplishment is amplified by the pedigree of the

Buffaloes, who were high in the preseason rankings. Though they were unable to creep in, the squad was heavily considered for the top 25, a mark the Rams were able to overcome in their 0-0 draw. The next chance for Peifer to flex her meddle is against the University of Northern Colorado in the final game of the Colorado Cup in the team’s home opener on Thursday at 4 p.m. Luke Zahlmann can be reached at sports@collegian.com

Journeyman Keenum is finally ‘the guy’ at quarterback for a team By Sam Farmer Los Angeles Times

Victory was in the cards for Case Keenum — but the play he wanted wasn’t. He couldn’t find the play card for the hook and ladder, one of a handful of strategies at the end of a playoff game against New Orleans last season. Ultimately, he ran a different play — a pristine throw to Stefon Diggs — and the “Minnesota Miracle” was born. Keenum, now quarterback of the Denver Broncos, relives the Minnesota Vikings moment in vivid detail in “Playing for More,” his autobiography to be released Sept. 4. “I’m flipping through the playbook with my receivers, (Adam) Thielen and Stefon Diggs, looking at our special end-of-game options,” Keenum writes. “There’s a set of plays at the back of the book that we practice every three weeks or so. But I can’t find the one I’m looking for. ‘Where is that hook-and-lateral? I know it’s in here. I just saw it!’ We’re all trying to come up with something, but there’s no perfect play for driving the length of the field in 25 seconds with only one timeout ...” Now we know: There was a perfect play, one forever etched in the minds of millions of fans who witnessed it. With 10 seconds remaining and the Vikings trailing by a point, Keenum threw a 27-yard strike to a leaping Diggs. The receiver dodged a diving defender, spun upfield and ran untouched for a 61-yard touchdown. It marked the first time in NFL history that a playoff game was decided by a touchdown on the final play of regulation. Football players famously avoid looking too far forward or back _ they live in the moment —but this was a monumental occasion that redefined Keenum’s career. Although he has changed teams five times in five years, including two stints with the Rams, he forever has a home in Minnesota sports history. “People ask me about it all the time,” Keenum said recently after Broncos practice. “It’s a cool story I get to tell about what happened, and it’s a cool testament to 11 guys just doing their job, and when an opportunity happens, just taking ahold of it.” The Vikings’ quest for their first Lombardi Trophy was derailed a week later, however, when they lost at Philadelphia in the NFC championship game. “That whole day, that whole week was nuts,” said Keenum,

who wrote his book with Andrew Perloff. “I don’t know if a lot of those guys still got over that play. I think there was some emotional hangover from that play. You can’t explain it. We tried to write it in the book, and I still don’t know if we got it all.” The co-authors certainly covered a lot of ground. The book tells the story of Keenum’s winding odyssey from a small town in West Texas to the University of Houston to an unlikely rise through the pro ranks. “Case is a laid-back guy, but when it comes to telling his story, the quarterback comes out in him and he meticulously pays attention to every last detail,” said Perloff, an on-air personality who goes by McLovin on the “Dan Patrick Show.” A new chapter for Keenum begins where the last one ended. The Broncos open the exhibition season Saturday by playing host to the Vikings, now led by $84-million quarterback Kirk Cousins. It’s not as if fans will get much of a look at either quarterback; the exhibition season is mostly about the reserves. Still, it’s a noteworthy twist that Keenum will be across the field from the club he led to an 11-3 record in his 14 starts. Keenum said he harbors no ill will against his (latest) former team. “No,” he said. “I love all those guys. ... No hard feelings.” It helps that Keenum finally has a team that’s made him the unquestioned leader. In March, the Broncos signed him to a two-year deal worth $36 million, resting their franchise on the shoulders of an undersized overachiever who got one college offer out of high school, and — despite a record-shattering career at Houston — went undrafted. “Everyone kind of underestimates him because he’s 6-1,” said John Elway, the Broncos’ president of football operations. “He doesn’t have the prototypical build when it comes to an NFL quarterback, but he’s got everything else. He’s very efficient at everything.” For the first time, Keenum isn’t simply keeping the starting job warm for someone else. “That’s what’s fun about being the guy,” he said. “I can go over to a receiver and say, ‘This is what I’m thinking. What are you thinking?’ That’s instead of saying, ‘Hey, Sam (Bradford) was thinking about this.’ Or Matt Schaub, whoever I’m backing up. It’s awesome. It feels right.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

‘Fear the Reaper’ feels all too real By K.L. Romo BookTrib

Ten percent. That’s the number of the population deemed unfit to belong. In “Fear the Reaper” (Macabre Ink) by David Simms, this frightening novel recounts the American Eugenics Movement in the 1930s, a dark secret in our country’s history. Psychologist Sam Taylor has developed a test to identify people with mental illness for whom therapy would help them lead more productive lives. After losing his wife and infant son, he agrees to join Dr. Joseph Dejarnette at Western Valley Hospital in rural Virginia to implement his test. Sam’s only intention is to “help those who needed the treatment they sought to improve society.” He never imagines it will be used to weed out people who The Society believes are unfit — people with mental and physical challenges, those who aren’t from Scandinavian descent, and the “mud people” who pollute and dilute the ideal Anglo-American race. Once Sam settles his mother and deaf brother in the town of Augusta and begins patient treatment, he quickly discovers the stunning truth. The hospital operates under the belief that “defectives only breed defectives,” and is eliminating the threat to a perfect Ameri-

can population. Some patients are sterilized, some are lobotomized. Others just disappear. The Society wants “humanity to rid itself of its viruses, diseases, blemishes, and whatever else (...) was killing us.” The citizens of Augusta fear anyone wearing a suit and fedora — the hallmarks of the government men who arrest the unfit. Monsters, the people call them. “Ones that wear suits and stalk the streets at night.” And what of the train that stops inside the hospital compound daily? Where are its passengers? Sam and his neighbor Gene, a biracial immigrant, vow to fight the horror spreading across the United States. But rich and powerful men — the leaders of industry and politics — fund The Movement. Can Sam and Gene stop the inhumanity that has overtaken Western Valley Hospital and the country and still keep their families safe? What is scary as hell about this novel is that the American Eugenics Movement was real. During the early 20th century, The Movement formed groups such as The Race Betterment Foundation, The Euthanasia Society of America, the American Breeder’s Association, and the Eugenics Records Office. Funded by a society of American millionaires, powerful leaders of industry, and public officials, the program’s goal was to elim-

inate the most unfit 10 percent of the population. The New York Times even published articles to gain the support of the American people and make The Movement mainstream. Across America, The Society earmarked people who poisoned the American population — those with disabilities, people with lower intelligence, criminals, and even those whose only crime was poverty. Because they believed these characteristics were passed from one generation to the next, sterilization and euthanasia were logical remedies. Horrifyingly, The Movement was also a model for Hitler’s Aryanization program. “Fear the Reaper” brings to life this disturbing era in American society, one I didn’t know existed. As the world learned from Nazi Germany, “when a man plays God, the glint of the devil shines in his eyes.” We all know of Hitler’s appalling acts, but that was far away, across an ocean. In this novel, Simms gives us evidence that the same can happen on American soil — it already did. This book hammers home a reminder: Americans must vigilantly protect every person’s right to equality and freedom. We must always “Fear the Reaper.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

3 Colorado activities to keep summer alive By Walker Discoe @wdiscoe

Summer is drawing to a close and all the unrealized potential the vacation had is now almost over. In June, there was time for grand visions of scaling mountainsides, diving into frigid alpine lakes, spending nights tucked into sleeping bags underneath the Big Dipper and attending every concert Red Rocks had to offer. By August, the break looked more like family-sized bags of tortilla chips and reruns of “Twin Peaks.” While classes may now be in session, the weather is still nice, Horsetooth has yet to freeze over and a trove of summertime adventures can still be had. Here are a few end-of-summer activities. 1. Boulder at Rotary Park Rock climbing is an inherently dangerous and risky sport, not to mention the amount of prepa-

ration and prior knowledge it requires. Bouldering, or climbing without ropes at low heights, is a fun and generally safe alternative, given a climber takes the right precautions. Rotary Park is nestled above Horsetooth Reservoir and just a short hike away from the parking area. With routes ranging from easy to extremely strenuous, Rotary Park offers challenges for everyone. Detailed maps of the park and bouldering routes are available online, and a crash pad, climbing shoes and chalk are all available to rent from the Rec Center. Make sure to research the area before climbing, bring plenty of snacks and water and be prepared for an awesome day among the rocks. 2. Bike, Hike or Run on Blue Sky Trail Just across the reservoir, and before the Horsetooth Rock trailhead, is Blue Sky Trail. Making its way south for four miles before

connecting with other trails, Blue Sky is an easy to moderate trail with fast and flowy terrain that makes for incredible mountain biking, hiking or trail running. Spectacular views of Devil’s Backbone can be seen at the end of Blue Sky, and an expansive trail system continues further south all the way to Loveland. Take lots of water and start early before the sun rises above the cliffs in the east. Be on the lookout for other trail users, deer and sudden rock clusters. 3. Hike Grey Rock Trail Another trail and landmark destination in Northern Colorado is Grey Rock. This is a strenuous seven-mile hike that hasn’t been visited enough this summer. The area features scenic and varied forests, incredible rock formations, an alpine meadow and incredible views of Fort Collins and the Rockies to the west. Just off Poudre Canyon, Grey

Rock can be completed by strong and motivated hikers in around three hours. Prepare by wearing appropriate clothing, carrying plenty of food and water, and letting someone know where you are going. Don’t skimp out on the actual

rock either. Once you have completed the loop, it is another half -mile to the top, but the views from the top are more than worth it here and nearly every mountainous place in Colorado. Walker Discoe can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.
