Kind Creations continues legacy of quality glassware

By Walker Discoe @wdiscoe

Inside Kind Creations, a shimmering display of glass, LED lights and neon signs dazzles the eye.

Every useable inch of the walls are massive glass cases filled with intricately blown bongs, pipes, glassware and art pieces. In fact, some of the items blur the line between

marijuana accessory and artwork, like the useable Jason Vorhees bong with a slick black leather jacket and contrasted white and red hockey mask.

Responsible for some of the pieces are in-house artists Sky Perry and Brandon Finks.

Their backroom at Kind Creations has a massive window where customers can look at the heating, extruding, molding and blowing of glass almost all day long. Their workshop lives

in a state of chaotic order, the worktable littered with glass rods, cones, broken pieces and drops of once-molten glass, gas torches hissing at 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit and kilns blazing in the corner. Masters of their craft, Perry has been blowing glass for 18 years, while Finks has been with Kind Creations since their beginning in 2003.

“I’ve been here for quite some time,” said Finks. “We work back here blowing glass

and working on the lathe and with the kilns almost every day.”

Kind Creations also takes custom orders, manufacturing almost any piece imaginable for their customers.

“It can be anything from a small little one-hitter to a really nice $200-$300 piece,” said Perry. “There are so many different techniques, and so many different styles and processes that you can incorporate into it

that it can take anywhere from 20 minutes or up to seven, eight days maybe.”

The shop’s glass, sourced from companies in Denver who manufacture for scientific purposes such as beakers and lab equipment, ensures quality and durability. However, in the changing market, the added cost that comes with quality

Health Network sees increase in students served since relocation

By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

A year ago, the Colorado State University Health Network shifted over into the CSU Health and Medical Center, a new building with resources focused on medical and counseling services for students.

Over the year, the CSU Health Network has seen a significant increase in students accessing the new location. Kate Hagdorn, associate director of communications for the Health Network, wrote in an email to The Collegian that the Health and Medical Center has witnessed a 4.75 percent increase in students served and an 8.09 percent increase in student encounters.

Originally, medical services were conducted in Hartshorn and counseling services were found in Aylesworth. From July 2016 to June 2017, the final year in these buildings, 15,294 distinct students were served.

The new building, found on the corner of Lake Street and College Avenue, has served 16,020 distinct students in its first year of being open.

“Service utilization growth greatly outpaced CSU enrollment growth of 0.5 percent in the same time period,” Hagdorn wrote.

In regards to encounters— which are classified as appointments, prescription fills and lab orders, etc— Hagdorn wrote the original buildings served 101,800 students in their final year. The new building has since served 111,034 students, with an average of 6.9 encounters per student served.

Hagdorn wrote the increased interest in the new building comes from the convenience the location offers.

“For the first time, all CSU Health Network services are located in one building, and students have told us that they appreciate the convenience of the new building as their ‘home for health’ at CSU

for both their medical and mental health needs,” Hagdorn wrote.

Other features of the new building include free parking during appointments and ease of access by bike, walking or MAX Transit Line.

The design of the building is also a draw for students, Hagdorn wrote, due to the abundant natural light, natural materials, bright colors, fireplaces, comfortable furniture and the “state-of-the-art” nature of the facility.

The new location has also been a benefit to those working in the Network, Hagdorn wrote.

“The new location provides more space than our old buildings, as well as updated design that meets or exceeds the current standards of medical and counseling facilities,” Hagdorn wrote. “This allows us to serve more students, and as demand for services continue to increase, to serve those students more efficiently.”

Hagdorn also said the welcoming and comforting space of the building has made the area a place where students want to spend time, removing the stigma associated with seeking care for medical or mental needs.

Currently, the CSU Health network is the primary tenant of the Health and Medical Center. Building partners share the first floor and include UCHealth, Associates in Family Medicine, Poudre Infusion Therapy and Kendall Reagan Nutrition Center.

Services at the Health and Medical Center include general medical services, specialty medical services, counseling services, health education and prevention services and business services, The Health and Medical Center will be hosting a Student Health Fair on Oct. 18 for students and community members to come learn more about the Network and services offered in the new building.

Yale students demand investigation of Kavanaugh allegations

By Rebecca Lurye The Hartford Courant

Yale Law School students held a sit-in Monday morning demanding an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, including one while he was a Yale student.

Kavanaugh, a graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School, has been accused by Christine Blasey Ford of sexual assault when he was a teenager. In a new allegation revealed Sunday evening in The New Yorker, Deborah Ramirez said Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party when he was a first-year student.

Kavanaugh has denied both allegations, calling Ramirez’s accusation “a smear, plan and simple.”

At the Yale protest, students dressed in black sat silently in the Sterling Law Building,

filling the hallway. Protesters called for their school to do better to uphold its own values.

Students spoke of Anita Hill, a Yale graduate who accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual misconduct in 1991. “Anita Hill, as a woman of color, as a black woman was not believed not just because of her gender but because of her race,” one student said.

Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken said the allegations against Kavanaugh are “rightly causing deep concern at Yale Law School and across the country.”

“Many of our faculty and students have taken actions to raise these concerns about the confirmation process. Fifty members of our faculty have signed a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, urging the Senate to ‘conduct a fair and deliberate confirmation process,’ and our students have organized a protest and community action that is taking

place at Yale Law School and in Washington, D.C., today,” Gerken said.

“Students have worked with the Law School administration and faculty so that the community can come together as a whole to discuss this important moment in our country’s history,” she said in a statement released by Yale Law School.

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat and Yale Law graduate, said Ramirez and Ford “plainly have survived a sexual assault. It has been a time of terror and anguish for them and the pain and anguish they’ve chosen to endure speaks to their credibility as does their desire for an FBI investigation.”

“They have a right to tell their stories when and how they wish. They should be heard, respectfully and full and there should be an investigation,” he said.

Mental health co-responder joins Fort Collins Police Services

By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

4 t h A n n ua l

With an increase in crisis calls focused on mental health and its effects on the community, the Fort Collins Police Department has added a new member to help assist officers in encountering and aiding those in crisis.

Stephanie Booco, a licensed professional counselor and addiction counselor, has joined Fort Collins Police Services as their mental health co-responder.

Booco will dispatch with officers in order to provide the correct services in crisis situations.

Dr. Dan Dworkin, the police staff psychologist and manager of the new position, said the need for such a position became evident as the number of people facing mental health crises increased.

“The volume of calls including welfare checks, suicide and suicidal threat calls has increased significantly over the past six to seven years,” Dworkin said. “Every day and every shift, officers are encountering people in crisis.”

Dworkin said, although FCPS trains officers to handle sensitive situations, the new position is necessary to assist officers.

“While officers and dispatchers receive training to increase their effectiveness, the severity and volume of calls has dictated the need for more highly trained professionals to assist law en-

forcement,” Dworkin said.

The goal of the mental health co-responder is to help officers facing people in crisis and to foster safety for all parties.

The priorities and goals of the position are to provide crisis intervention and appropriate disposition in the field as requested by officers, Dworkin said. The role also helps people in crisis get to the proper facility, which may not always be the hospital.

“They’ll follow up on cases to help people connect with the proper mental health services and help reduce repeated calls by the same individuals,” Dworkin said.

Other goals and priorities include reducing office time spent on these types of calls so officers can attend to more law enforcement-related situations and educating officers with appropriate ways to deal with people in a mental health crisis, Dworkin said.

The position will also help develop working relationships between police, medical and mental health agencies in order to assist most effectively those in need.

Funding for this position is coming from UC Health, SummitStone Health Partners and FCPS, Dworkin said. The position was advertised on all sites and interviews were conducted

by representatives from all three agencies.

Booco was selected due to her past experience with crisis intervention, law enforcement, the judicial system and veterans.

“She has a wealth of training and has done presentations on topics pertinent to this arena,” Dworkin said.

A release from the FCPS about the position gives examples of these topics, including specialties in trauma, substance use, crisis assessment and forensics.

“People may call the police for help, but that doesn’t necessarily mean an officer is the best person to provide services,” FCPS Chief Jeff Swoboda said in the release. “Stephanie will be able to help individuals and families in crisis make a plan and get the assistance they need. We believe this forward-thinking approach will reduce repeated law enforcement contacts and criminal offenses stemming from mental health and substance use issues.”

The mental health co-responder position is one element of the FCPS’s Mental Disorders Response Program. The full elements of this program include

officer and staff training, building interagency community relationships, information collection-dissemination and consistent administration for continuity of the program, Dworkin said.

Booco’s work fits in with the third element: Information collection-dissemination.

“Officers can request the Mental Health Co-Responder and Interagency follow up on individuals of concern,” Dworkin said. “Interagency provides information to officers about individuals they have [encountered] or may encounter in order to increase safety for all concerned and effective disposition.”

Dworkin said FCPS has similar plans for the future of their Mental Disorders Response Program.

“Due to a state grant we are currently interviewing for a second full-time position,” Dworkin said.

FCPS is also looking to add a one-day class for first responders called “Mental Health First Aid,” Dworkin said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Ticket scalping needs to stop CSU’s bike enforcement Wyatt Hansen @Hansolo1610

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.

You finally have enough money to go to that concert coming up, the one you’ve been looking forward to for months.

Like most people, you go online to buy tickets and surprise; the concert is either sold out or tickets online are getting scalped for way more than you should spend.

For those unfamiliar with the term, scalping refers to selling tickets at marked-up prices.

Most people who attend concerts and shows regularly are familiar with the frustration of not being able to get a ticket at market value or getting stuck in long online waiting rooms only to lose out to scalpers.

Stop buying concert tickets you know you will not attend.

Concert tickets are extremely expensive, and the main reason has to do with scalpers selling multiple tickets for an arm and

a leg online.

I was trying to see one of my favorite groups in Denver at the beginning of November called Rufus Du Sol. Both nights of their show at the Filmore were completely sold out and tickets are now running for about $80.

The original face value price was closer to $42. I came across tons of people online selling multiple tickets for almost double the face value. This can be seen happening to almost every show here in Colorado now.

Reselling tickets has become a huge market with sales close to $8 billion. In retrospect, this can be a profitable business for some people because of the financial appeal.

On the other hand, it is becoming increasingly hard for college students to go to concerts because of the ridiculous prices that continue to rise.

To avoid the rising prices of ticket resales is to plan out concerts accordingly. Many artists and ticket companies offer presale through fan clubs and passwords. That is a quick and sure fire way to get the tickets before the price skyrockets. If you don’t get online right when they go on sale, chances are you will miss your opportunity to snag some decently priced tickets. What’s even more infuri-

ating is when the scalpers buy multiple tickets.

Another option is to enter ticket contests. I personally have won a handful of tickets to various shows over the years.

You won’t win every time, but with a repost and a like, you just might get picked every now and then.

Scalpers are getting online and buying up to 12 tickets at a time, sometimes just to turn around and sell for massive profit. It would be different if they sold 1-2 tickets because they clearly couldn’t attend the show, but some of these scalpers buy tickets to shows they know they won’t attend in the first place. It just becomes difficult to go to shows and afford it.

Next time there is a concert you really want to attend, be proactive and jump online before the scalpers do. This is your best chance to snag the tickets of a life time. You can thank yourself later. If you can’t attend, let somebody enjoy the show for the same price you would’ve. It can be a hard situation to avoid but with the precations taken above, you can improve your chance of seeing that show you really wanted to go to.

Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval.

Dear Colorado State University, As I am sure many students have noticed, bike enforcement is on around campus. CSU Police Department is cracking down on infractions like riding in dismount zones, or failing to stop completely at stop signs.

I understand and appreciate the motive behind this enforcement. With the environmentally conscious culture of CSU, Fort Collins’ reputation as a great bicycling city, and the near-zero cost of it, biking is one of the most popular modes of transportation for students, and steps need to be taken to ensure that pedestrians and other bikers are kept safe.

That does not make the $35 fine I got for getting on my bike 15 feet inside the dismount zone during a time of low traffic volume sting any less. To many students, like myself, who are supporting themselves through college $35 is not an insignificant amount.

With the rising cost of living in Fort Collins and the huge cost of being a full-time student, it is harder than ever for students living off of part-time jobs to make

NOPE

rent payments on time and maintain a healthy and consistent diet. $35 dollars is almost a week’s worth of food for a student on a budget.

We are clearly aware of this here at CSU. Everybody knows that students are taking on massive amounts of debt already just to get a degree, and that for many the cost of living and going to school can lead to food insecurity.

CSU has responded to this with a wonderful program where mobile food pantries are set up so that students can get healthy, fresh food at no cost, which for many significantly reduces stress on their budget and health. The same institution that is so aware of how every dollar matters to a student can so callously hand out $35 fines left and right to students who are making a conscious choice for green and cost-free transportation.

The traffic laws governing biking on campus are important and need to be enforced, but giving steep financial penalties to the most financially vulnerable in Fort Collins is wrong and we need a different enforcement mechanism. Even a punishment of two hours of community service would be more sensible, given it will take most students longer than that to earn enough money to pay their fine.

CONQUERING BOULDERS A LOOK INTO THE BENEFITS OF BOULDERING MADI DEAN For the duration of my entire adult life, I have been exposed to beautiful photography of strong men and women climbing rock faces that seem almost unimaginable. The strength and dedication that the climbers take to their sport is almost as impressive.

Approaching the summer of 2017, I found myself wandering into the climbing gym at CSU’s rec center often, unaware of how climbing would totally transform my life. Upon my curiosity, I met

another experienced individual committed to several forms of climbing that was able to provide me with necessary instruction and gear. We first began top roping, quickly followed by bouldering and then sport climbing.

In the short few months when I initially began bouldering, I was constantly frustrated and sore, but I was totally hooked. I enjoyed the persistence and technique involved in bouldering that I had not experienced in other activities. I enjoyed venturing out to new areas

of the state to discover boulders of all shapes and sizes. I joined a local climbing gym late August, 2017. This enabled me to progress at a more rapid rate than solely bouldering outside. My thoughts quickly became consumed by climbing. My goals were now aimed towards getting stronger physically to climb more difficult grades inside and outside. In my opinion, bouldering is the purest form of climbing. Unencumbered by a rope or gear, bouldering becomes the epitome of movement, power and

PHOTO BY KYLE KERNS technique.

When bouldering, there are different grades of difficulty within the V0-V17 (easy to hard) range. Not only does climbing engage your core, arms, legs and back, but it also engages your mind. Every problem is unique in structure, grade and rock type. You must use your brain and muscles to

determine the most feasible method to top-out. My mental clarity has improved, as well as my diet, attitude and appreciation for nature and all of the wonderful rock features.

I would highly recommend climbing to anyone looking to build life-long friendships and lasting memories.

SPORT CLIMB YOUR WAY TO NEW HEIGHTS PHOTO BY SHAWN COPE

ELLIE MOORE The only thing that can come close to the feeling of completing a climb is taking a big whipper while trying your hardest. Sport climbing is a fun activity that combines mental strength with physical prowess.

It’s unique; I can still get high up a cliff unlike bouldering, it’s flow-y, beautiful, and gets you up the cliff without needing

a full trad rack of gear. All you need is a rope, some quick draws, a good belayer, and a project.

The thing that makes sport climbing so amazing is that I am not thinking about gear placements like with trad climbing and once I’m on the rock I forget everything else and zone in. Getting up quickly with finesse is the goal. Only breaking my trance when the feeling of fatigue comes in and I am close to falling, hopefully in time to tell my belayer.

There are some amazing sport climbs just north of Fort Collins in the Poudre Canyon.

Some popular crags are Crystal

Wall and the Poudre Palace both about 15 miles up the canyon with parking right after the tunnel. The granite is superb and the views while climbing are breathtaking.

Both these areas have a range of climbs from easy to hard.

One thing to note is that the Palace requires a river crossing and during high water it is dangerous to cross so only cross if it is low enough (high water typically occurs from May to the end of July).

Anyone interested in sport climbing should go learn how to do so from the rec, the CSU Outdoor Club or Program or climbing gyms. Then practice your skills and find some capable people to climb with.

Invest in some gear and then get outside and have fun! Be safe and climb hard or go home!

Find Yourself a Climbing Crew PHOTO BY SHAWN COPE

BY JOSH BENDER AND LAURA THOMPSON LAURA’S STORY I began climbing back in high school on a team at our local gym in Minnesota.

My first time on a wall, my dad said I finished with a wide smile and a belly full of adventure. I later joined the team at the gym and quickly found out, the competition portion of the sport really took away from the experience and I

began to resent it. I quit climbing for about five years, with the on again off again bouldering sessions at the Rec Center.

I had lived in Fort Collins for five years coming out to Colorado for school. The fall of 2017 Josh Bender moved in from contacting our other roommate Dani. Immediately Josh got me psyched on climbing again, especially rope climbing. From then on it has turned into trying to get outside climbing at any chance possible. From Eldorado Canyon in Colorado, to Vedauwoo in Wyoming, to Indian Creek in Utah, all I want to do is get up high on some rocks and have a burn in my forearms. Nothing beats the feeling

of complete freedom, exhausted and suspended hundreds of feet off the ground.

Trad climbing in particular has pushed me physically and mentally simultaneously in more ways than I can even begin to explain. Rock climbing for me has changed from a fun activity to do every couple of months to a never-ending goal of pushing yourself harder than ever, while being backed by a family of hooligan monkeys. All in all, no matter how stressed I get while climbing or how insane the route, hearing Josh yell from below “you got this, Laura, you’re so strong!” always helps me push through.

JOSH’S STORY I got started as a climber where most CSU students do, the climbing wall at the rec center. I started going

Experience

my freshman year, initially it was something to occupy my time but I began to see the community involved with climbing. Fast forward to my sophomore year, I joined the climbing team along with a few other climbing friends. Joining the team was a good way for me to meet new climbers as well as develop a training routine. I was surrounding myself with likeminded people and it was fueling my fire.

My sophomore year I dedicated myself to the climbing team and developed an even greater love for climbing. Long story short, after finishing my sophomore year I took a year off of school to travel. During the year of travel I had my first experience climbing outside. I spent two weeks climbing on the sea cliffs of Thailand and it was a turning point in my climbing.

Meet the CSU Rock Climbing Team

Before coming back to CO I knew I had to find people to live with so I started messaging everyone on the climbing team from my sophomore year. Eventually, I got ahold of someone that had an open room and needed a roommate. It was official, I was moving into a house with at least one climber and I didn’t know any of the other roommates.

In the process of moving I was told that there was a shed with a climbing wall, I was psyched. On move in day I went and looked at the shed… it needed some work. I spent a few weekends with my dad rebuilding the shed and turning it into what I had envisioned. That year I was focused on training, expanding my climbing friend group and taking every opportunity to climb outside. My fire was burning more and more. Fast forward again, I resigned the lease for my house with my climbing roommates and had more climbers move in and now my life completely revolves around climbing.

I fuel the fire with every opportunity I can. Get out and find your climb.

The Colorado State Climbing team was started in Fall of 2012 as a way to bring climbers together and form a strong community at CSU. We began competing in USA Climbing’s Collegiate Series shortly thereafter, and in the fall of 2014 we were accepted as one of the 31 official sport clubs at CSU. The CSU Climbing Team competes at the national level; during our short history, we have continuously won the Rocky Mountain regional competition since we began competing in 2014, and have been nationally ranked 3rd, 2nd, as well as held two national titles.

Practices are held at Ascent Studio on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights from 7:30-10:30 PM. Additionally, non-mandatory Saturday practices and workshops are held during the latter half of the season. Our season runs from September - April, with a series of local competitions culminating in regional and national championships. Apart from competitions, the team is still focused on building and supporting the climbing community at Colorado State University as well as in Fort Collins and looking for climbers of all levels, interests, and passions! Competing is not a requirement to be a part of our team and community.

CLIMBING ABOVE YOUR EXPECTATIONS INTERVIEW WITH CRAIG DEMARTINO, PROVIDED BY OTTER SHOP

MICHAEL BERG When life gives you lemons, well, we’re told to make lemonade.

Examples of “ordinary” people doing this are scattered throughout the internet; however, what distinguishes good examples from great examples?

I would argue that Craig DeMartino provides the world with a great illustration of what can be achieved when life gives you lemons. “In 2002 my life changed dramatically. I was accidentally dropped 100 feet while climbing in CO. That’s the same height as a 10 story office building. I endured a three-month stay in the hospital and later a rehab facility where I began to rebuild my life and body. After 18 months, I decided to amputate my leg below the knee to return to climbing, and the quality of life I once enjoyed.

Now, with 30 years of climbing experience under my belt, I have a new and exciting view of the world. I believe perspective is a great tool to motivate us, and the accident gave me such perspective. Once I returned to climbing I pushed my body to learn and re-learn the art of climbing. That journey continues on. Life is 10% circumstances and 90% my reaction.” (craigdemartino.com) OtterBox is one of his sponsors who gladly supports his active lifestyle. They got a chance to sit down with him and ask some questions whose answers we thought you might want to hear: CRAIG SUGGESTS: OTTERBOX TROOPER LT30 COOLER (PIC TOP RIGHT) Quickly convert from shoulder carry to backpack carry Leakproof seal secures contents Water resistant exterior pockets Premium grade thermal insulation Keeps ice up to 3+ days Solid, heavy-duty base Bottle Opener accessory included OTTERBOX: Van? CRAIG DEMARTINO: Climbers are dirt bags, so cheap is always better.

For 23 years (climbing for 30 years) we tent camped. Climbers call themselves dirt bags, so cheap is always better. But about three years ago, I came out of our tent in Moab and it was about 30 degrees. All of our water froze, a bunch of our food froze, the cooler broke. So I came out and this guy came out of his van with a cup of coffee and he waved. And I thought: we’re done. We bought that van the next year. That has changed dramatically how we do things. It doesn’t matter where we are, we have a bed, we have heat, a refrigerator, everything you need.

The four of us fit in it, but at the end of two weeks you are ready to throw someone out. For me and Cyndy

it’s perfect. A lot of our friends live in their vans full time. So we’re very accustomed to that kind of life, it makes perfect sense to us.

They always tell their friends and joke that they know more people who live in their cars than most people do.

That’s true because climbers like to do that because it is easy. That van has made our life considerably more comfortable.

CRAIG SUGGESTS: OTTERBOX ELEVATION 10 TUMBLER (BOTTOM PICS) OtterBox 10-ounce Elevation Tumbler keeps up with you from morning pickme-up to daily hydration to nightcap.

Stainless steel and colored tumbler comes with the Closed Lid and works with a collection of lids that adapt to any adventure.

OB: Gear?

CD: I love coffee. We have always had a good way to make coffee, even when we would tent camp. We have always had French presses. That was always, no matter where we were or what we were doing –-even in Europe I brought a French press.

The van is spacious, but not like your house. We have a French press that serves me, my wife and my daughter.

We have coffee in the fridge, I will grind what I’m going to use wherever we are and take that with. So I just do the French press. I get up first, so I can sit with the dog and get the first cup.

OB: Dog ?

CD: Dash, blue heeler He is amazing. They go everywhere, they don’t care. He likes to go on a little walk about. He will leave for 20 minutes and comes back. He always knows where we are. I can walk to a cliff, take him off the leash and never tell him where I am going, but he just shows up. I don’t know how he does that, I’m all over the place.

When he lays with the packs, people won’t go near him. He looks like he is mean, but truth be told, you could walk up and he would help you open them.

OB: Life?

CD: In the summer we are gone a lot, 2 weeks a month and then we ice climb the winter months around Colorado.

Most of my friends are climbers, most of my family are not.

I got hurt climbing. I was accidentally dropped 100 feet.

When I moved out to Colorado from Pennsylvania, my parents said stay safe, don’t get hurt out there, those are really big mountains. I laughed. I lived here for 12 years before I got hurt.

I climbed for 13 years before I got hurt and never even broke a fingernail. So, all of a sudden.

That’s the thing with climbing, it’s like base jumping. If something goes wrong, it is usually catastrophic.

And that’s what happened to me, it was catastrophic, but it was just an accident.

(Craig holding his prized OtterBox Tumbler after a long day of climbing up the Poudre Canyon.)

I had climbed for so long, I could climb with my eyes closed. So when I got hurt, I had to go back and re-figure it out. I liked that idea, it wasn’t a new sport but it was a new application of the sport. That’s what was so fascinating to me. Even now, it has been since 2003, I helped some guys design a climbing foot, so I could climb different areas and different types of rock. I have been able to partner with people and figure things out, like how does it happen for a climber to climb and what are the body mechanics like?

How does it all work? It continues to be a process.

I have three different feet. One for ice. One for rock. One for walking.

Those interchange with your socket, so the socket is what I connect to and the feet connect to the socket. You can change feet, it is just a wrench, it is super easy.

My wife says “your leg doesn’t get tired, your foot doesn’t get cold.” All these things are cheating now.

I broke my back, so my back is fused at L1 through L4 and I broke my neck at C5 and C6, so those are fused as well. I broke my whole right side, all the ribs, punctured this lung, tore my shoulder up and my elbow, it just wrecked me. I landed standing.

Which is good, that’s the only way you can live. The shock wave has to go somewhere, so if you land on your back or your side or your face, everything breaks. This way, you break what you hit and it flies up through you and breaks everything as it’s going, but it’s not the blunt force. Your feet get the blunt force and everything else gets the shock.

My wife was at home was at home.

So when the kids were young we would switch days, so she had run this really long race in Leadville the day before and I went climbing that next day and that’s when it happened.

Climbing is very social. It’s not that craziness all the time. People gravitate towards that, but that is such a small portion. If you climb without a rope 2% of the time, but 98% of the time you are using a rope, people only focus on the 2%. That’s what they see.

We’ve always stressed to our kids: you do have to be outside.

Climbing is the vehicle we embrace, but it’s not what our kids have to do.

First amputee to climb El Cap in less than 24 hours.

Fastest disabled time as well.

People just know I’m going to bring

(Craig holding his prized OtterBox Tumbler after a long day of climbing up the Poudre Canyon.)

my family. It’s a cool way for us to spend time together. It is uninterrupted time, so we can all hang out. They are all climbers, I use Cyndy as a rigger all the time. She is as talented as anyone I know. Her safety is off the charts, so I never have to worry about it.

OB: Technology CD: Guide books are on my phone. A lot of the climbing areas are on this thing called Mountain Project. So we can download Mountain Project for free and get areas for free.

Usually what happens is you walk up to a cliff and you are looking at the guide book and there might be three new routes after that guide book came out. So now you are looking at these routes and you don’t know what’s what. That’s confusing. The phones are great, because the phone is usually very up to date. They update maybe once a month.

Is the Broncos’ quest to win the AFC West dead with a loss to Kansas City?

By Ryan O’Halloran & Mark Kizla The Denver Post

Communal

Kiz: The Broncos looked bad in Baltimore. In fact, they looked eerily like the 5-11 team from last year. But with a 2-1 record, Denver is only a game behind Kansas City in the AFC West standings. The Chiefs are coming to this dusty old cow town for a Monday night tilt, with the whole country watching. This game is critical. That’s obvious.

But is it too bold to suggest the Broncos can’t win the division if they can’t defend their home turf against Kansas City?

O’Halloran: Even if the Broncos lose to Kansas City, it doesn’t mean their division hopes are dashed. Remember, the Chiefs started 5-0 last year before losing six of their next seven games. Any team coached by Andy Reid has a chance to be a come-from-ahead-to-lose story. Plus, there is always the chance Patrick Mahomes cools off just enough to make things interesting. But Broncos coach Vance Joseph shouldn’t listen

to me. He needs to treat Week 4 like his job is on the immediate line.

Kiz: The Chiefs have been established as a 5-point favorite as a visitor to Mile High? That’s insulting to Broncos Country. But here’s what is scary. Remember the eight-game losing streak that nearly cost Joseph his job in 2017? Well, take a look at Denver’s upcoming schedule.

The Broncos might not be favored to win again until the first weekend of November, with a possible exception of their trip to Arizona. That’s why beating K.C. takes on added importance.

O’Halloran: The Broncos should be favored at Arizona, but even the Cardinals should be thinking, “Hey, Sam Bradford or Josh Rosen should be able to dissect that secondary.” The Chiefs game is crucial for the Broncos in the aspect they can’t get outclassed on their home field a week after getting embarrassed at Baltimore. Yes, fans, it has come to that: The initial hope for Monday night is for the home team to be competitive.

Kiz: The Chiefs are averaging nearly 40 points per game.

Those are Star Wars numbers that evoke Peyton Manning’s best days in Denver. So as the Broncos install the game plan for Kansas City, what will present the greater challenge: Devising schemes in the secondary to slow down “Showtime” Mahomes? Or finding a way to amp up an inconsistent Denver offense to win a shootout?

O’Halloran: Kansas City is allowing 474 yards and a shade over 30 points per game... and it’s 3-0! That shows just how potent the offense has been. The Broncos, if they don’t turn it over and keep left tackle Garett Bolles off the penalty ledger (two big “if’s”), should move the ball against the Chiefs. The Broncos’ coaches need to use the extra day to come up with a whole new pass defense plan.

And that is Joseph’s area of expertise as a former secondary coach. The current over/under is 55. I’m taking the over.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

CSU fights hard, tallying their third draw of the year

By Adam Williams @AdamJ_Williams

Colorado State soccer took on San Diego State University in their first home conference match of the season on Sunday.

The Aztecs set the tone early in the match by opening the game with a relentless offensive attack. The Aztecs’ attack came to fruition when they shot the ball past junior goalkeeper Hunter Peifer. Much to the Aztec’s dismay, the play was ruled offsides.

The call gave the Rams a renewed chance in the game.

In the 30th minute, CSU senior Kiaja Ornes took the only shot on goal of the half for the Rams.

Ornes was a big reason CSU was able to stay in the game. She routinely found herself chasing down the ball and putting pressure on any Aztec defender attempting to clear the ball.

“Just get to the ball. Get to the ball first, if you don’t win hopefully they’re going to drop out,” Ornes said.

The Rams continued to match the Aztecs and fought a tough half that saw neither team find the back of the net.

Going into the intermission, the Rams found themselves in a familiar position, knotted at zero apiece.

The Rams sought to come out of the half aggressive and sophomore Emma Shinsky and senior Beth Plentl each fired off shots within five minutes of the half beginning, a sign of their renewed vigor on offense.

The Aztecs went back to being largely dominant in terms of possession following the early spurt.

In the 78th minute, the Aztecs set up a chance in the box.

A player across the net was set up to receive a ball that she likely would have scored but Peifer was able to come across and catch the ball, quickly rebounding to set up a CSU drive down

the field with a fast pass.

After several minutes of position juggling, the Rams were able to make a run.

Ornes was prevalent again in the 83rd minute when she sent a ball across the box for a header try that went wide. The setup was one of the Rams’ best chances to score, but again they could not find the back of the net.

After the end of 90 minutes, the game sat in the same position it had when it started, a tie at nil.

The first overtime period was largely dominated by the

Rams who were able to apply consistent pressure on the Aztecs defense. Unfortunately, the pressure did not yield a goal for the Rams, yielding a second overtime.

The second overtime was a brief synopsis of regulation as both teams battled with SDSU controlling the ball longer, but neither team could get a leg up on the other.

The overtime periods gave a snapshot of the game as a whole as neither team’s attack truly found a rhythm. Each offensive run was thwarted in its tracks and sent back the opposite direction.

The composure that Peifer exemplified throughout the match was a large reason CSU walked away with a tie.

“We held them pretty well.

In extra time the stakes are a lot higher. Our goal this year is to make overtime our time,” Peifer said.

The tie against a perennial Mountain West powerhouse was a mark that Coach Bill Hempen still seemed pleased with.

“To get a point off one of the best teams in the conference we’ll take it. It stinks at home that we didn’t take all three but we’ll take it,” Hempen said.

The team has continued to struggle with goal scoring as their offense has produced a mere five goals in 10 matches.

The low scoring number comes with 129 shots on the year, with over 40% on goal, a number that figures to result in higher goal tallies as the year goes on.

The Rams will look to build on this game as they take on Boise State and Utah State next weekend following their draw.

The Broncos are up first on the docket Sept. 28 at 4 p.m.

Glassware >> from page 1 be enough to deter some from making such a big purchase.

“There are still are people that come for just [quality],” said Finks. “Nowadays, a lot of kids just price shop for whatever’s cheapest, because it’s just out in front of you. You can get a bong at the gas station, you can get a bong on Amazon Prime, two days right to your door.”

The market didn’t always have a tendency for cheapness, and Finks can remember a time when quality was a big factor when customers came to Kind Creations.

“In our early days, we were the only place you could get a nice piece made right here in the shop,” Finks said. “There are a lot of local glassblowers now in Fort Collins and a lot of smoke shops.”

Perry and Finks both agreed that a saturation of the market was to blame for the decline in demand for high-quality glass pieces. For a prospective buyer, the lower prices are certainly enticing. But the passion and sheer amount of hard work that goes into a Kind Creations piece truly set it apart from other options on the market.

“This locally made product, the fact we’ve been here so long with a great product, I think we’ve proven ourselves,” Finks said. “We strive to have the best prices on products that we can as well, I guarantee we can beat other stores prices, their quality, hands down.”

Spencer Baatsen, an employee working the counter outside the back room, agrees with the glassblowers.

“We do have the best prices and the best product,” Baatsen said. “We’ve got all the things you would want in a store. And people come in here for the atmosphere, people come here and feel relaxed and welcome, and we’re always here to help people.”

The glassblowers at Kind Creations work every day to create beautiful and intricate pieces, putting real passion and decades of expertise into each piece they make.

“We definitely care about our customers,” Brandon said.

“We want everyone who comes in here to find something they like, and have a good time.”

MUSIC REVIEW: STONED VS. SOBER

Brockhampton’s ‘Iridescence’ provides immersive experience

By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

Editor’s note: The activities portrayed in this article were done legally and in a safe environment.

The self-proclaimed “Greatest Boy Band in the World” is back with the first album outside of their “Saturation” series. The up and coming rap group/boy band Brockhampton has released a slew of albums proving themselves as a diverse musical collective meant to be reckoned with, since their debut in 2017.

To celebrate the release of their fourth album, “Iridescence,” I wanted to experiment and see if marijuana would affect the album listening experience in any way, so this review contrasts sober and incredibly stoned listening.

Sober listening The second track, “THUG LIFE” has a much softer tone compared to the opener, “NEW ORLEANS.” Here, the group cements their boy band status with boyish scatting, courtesy of member bearface, that is reminiscent of boy band songs from the early 2000’s.

“J’OUVERT,” which was released right before the record dropped, is an intensely dark moment on the record, with Joba screaming his brains out over a dense, drony baseline.

The group continually uses autotune within their music. But rather than exploiting its assistance, they use it as an artistic statement instead. The only time it really becomes obnoxious is on “SAN MARCOS” where it clashes heavily with gentle emo guitar chords. Luckily, the London Community Gospel Choir stops in at the end to save the track with luscious strings supporting them.

“TONYA,” which was first performed on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” is an emotional high point for the band. It reflects on the recent departure of founding member Ameer Vann over allegations of sexual misconduct.

Right before the end of the record, the album begins to take a brief dip in quality. Specifically on the track “VIVID,” the production does not feel as colorful and the flow feels comparatively run of the mill.

One bong session later...

The opener, “NEW ORLEANS” is this incredible banger where everyone goes the f*ck off. Kevin Abstract has this mesmerizing smooth flow while the rest of the group spits these very out there and spastic flows. There’s even a surprise Jaden Smith feature that fits well into the track.

The first half of the third track, “BERLIN” has this banging, bassy crunk-inspired beat. Dom McLennon and Matt Champion are super invested in their deliveries while bearface has this grimy, yet feminine tone to his voice during the choruses.

The Verdict ■ Overall:

8/10 songs: “New Orleans,” “Something About Him,” “Honey,” “J’ouvert,” “San Marcos,” “Tonya,” “Weight,” And “Thug Life” ■ Least favorite song: “Vivid” ■ Favorite

The group continues with their normalization of homosexuality in hip-hop with “SOMETHING ABOUT HIM.” God is this track beautiful with its jangly guitars and synths. Even though the several vocal effects on Abstract’s voice are a little annoying, they still manage to add some diversity to his voice.

“HONEY” has one of the more unique transitions on the album; going from a drony instrumental with eerily despondent flows to this lavishly, yet trippy, psychedelic instrumental. There is an incredible amount of layering on the backend of this track including autotuned background vocals, multiple instrumental samples and even police sirens.

At only a few projects in, Brockhampton has shown to have one of the most consistent discographies by a hip-hop collective in awhile.

While there were a few rare moments that felt underwhelming, the overall experience (both sober and stoned) was an excellent one.

Tour de Corgi returns this September for another day of costumed cuteness

By Graham Shapley @ShapleyGraham

For the fourth year running, an invasion of corgis is returning to Fort Collins on Saturday, Sept. 29. The annual Tour de Corgi will be taking place at Civic Center Park, culminating in a parade through Old Town.

Tracy Stewart, a resident of Fort Collins, started the event in 2014. Similar to the Tour de Fat, the other major city get-together, the Tour de Corgi has exploded in popularity over the past few years.

Every year, hundreds of corgi-lovers attend and bring their own lovely little dogs, and this year is unlikely to be any different.

Make no mistake, the Tour de Corgi is not for the faint of heart. Only the most shriveled-up blood pumping machines could potentially resist

their charms, and even then it’s doubtful.

Corgis and their owners come together starting at 10 a.m. and register for the costume contest. At around noon, the parade will begin, making a wide loop through Old Town and returning to Civic Center Park.

THE 4TH ANNUAL TOUR DE CORGI ■ Begins at 10 a.m. Sept. 29

Civic Center Park in Fort Collins

■ Costume Contest

begins at 10:30 a.m.

■ Parade Begins around noon During the costume contest, corgis are dressed up and threaten cuteness-induced

mental shutdowns. Several categories will be held including “Cutest Couple,” “Baddest to the Bone,” and “Like Human, Like Corgi.” This year, each category will have its own time slot, which the organizers suggest will cut down on time waiting in line. The contest will begin at 10:30 a.m.

Both attendees and corgi-owners are asked to purchase a $5 ticket online, which will be traded in for a wristband at the event. Children under the age of 5 are admitted for free.

Proceeds from the event will go to good causes. 4 Paws Pets Pantry helps families in times of financial stress to feed their pets, and the Wyoming Dachshund and Corgi Rescue help corgis and dachshunds to find homes across the region.
