Foothills Campus petitions against parking fees By Emma Iannacone @EmmaIannacone
Nearly 800 people are petitioning to stop Parking and Transportation Services from implementing parking fees at the Colorado State University Foothills Campus. The Atmospheric Sciences department, the Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology department, the Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology Laboratory and the Engineering Research Center conducted individual petitions resulting in a total of 794 signatures opposing changes to
the Foothills Campus parking regulations. The formerly free lots are transitioning to permit parking in August 2019, according to Facilities Management and CSU’s Parking and Transportation Services, in order to fund CSU’s Parking and Transportation Services and fund updates to the Foothills Campus. Parking and Transportation Services receives funding only through the revenue it generates through fees, according to the department’s website. Fred Haberecht, campus planner of Facilities Management, said CSU mandates that each
campus pays into the services, which is not currently the case at the Foothills Campus. An outside consulting firm, Creek Consulting, conducted five information sessions from Sept. 26 to Oct. 2 with campus members to find out how to best accommodate the needs of the campus. According to the petitions, the sessions lacked adequate opportunity to provide feedback and the proposals weren’t transparent. Many who attended the informational meetings, according to the petitions, found them to be “confusing and structured in such
a way as to discourage meaningful conversations about the proposal.” According to PTS, the sessions were well-attended and invited feedback via email, which they are still accepting. “Parking and Transportation Services and the Vice President for University Operations shared information about the sessions with Deans and asked them to forward the information to their campus constituents because there is no central email system for the Foothills Campus,” wrote Public Safety and Risk Communications Manager Dell Rae Ciara-
vola in an email to The Collegian. Several concerns were brought forward in the petitions sent to David Bradford, the director of PTS, including financial hardship for employees and students whose research opportunities may be hindered by the cost of parking fees. Bradford told The Collegian previously that he recognizes the difficulty in asking people to pay for a service that was originally free, but the need for upkeep outweighs the convenience.

Interfaith Friendsgiving attracts largest crowd yet By Audrey Weiss @Audkward
Looking for good food and conversation, a large crowd piled around tables and in corners of Everyday Joe’s Coffee House to talk about different religious beliefs. Interfaith Friendsgiving celebrated its fifth anniversary Wednesday evening, bringing Colorado State University students and Fort Collins residents alike to discuss various religious and spiritual practices. The event was hosted and sponsored by Everyday Joe’s Coffee House, The Geller Center, Lutheran Ministry, Hillel of CSU, CSU’s student Multifaith and Belief Council, Fort Collins Interfaith Council and CSU Multifaith & Belief Key Civic Community. The Associated Students of CSU funded the aprons used at the event with $306 allocated to purchase the 24 aprons used at the dinner. The aprons will be reused year after year for sustainability purposes.
“The spirit of tonight’s event is to build new bridges,” said Elizabeth Sink, communication studies professor and member of the Fort Collins Interfaith Council. “Dare to engage across lines of belief.” The event opened with an Islamic prayer presented by Merall Sherif, ASCSU senator for the Women and Gender Advocacy Center and founder of ASCSU’s Women’s Caucus. Sherif shared the prayer in both Arabic and English. “A person is not a believer of God if he sleeps with his stomach full while his neighbor is hungry and he knows that his neighbor is beside him and is hungry,’” Sherif said. “The idea in that is that if everybody takes care of the neighbors around them, the entire community will be cared for.” CSU Hillel Leadership council followed with two prayers: the HaMotzi or blessing over bread, and a song with lyrics translating to “How beautiful it is when brothers and sisters sit together.” Audience members joined
in the song, echoing through the room. The last prayer was a Hindu blessing presented by Gaurav Harshe, an electrical engineering graduate student. Harshe sang the prayer in Hindi and read the translation in English. “Having food is not just serving the stomach, but is a type of finer sacrifice,” Harshe translated. The night included an Ingathering Jazz performance by Donovan Reed, Multifaith and Belief Council president and the event’s emcee, and MidKnight McMillian. CSU’s Basic A Capella also performed and conducted a sing along with audience members. As standing attendees flooded to the fully kosher meal, seated patrons sat and shared their practices, asking and answering questions included on the pamphlets left at each table. Volunteers working the buffet line included Doug Ringer and Molly O’Shea, two CSU freshman in Sink’s Key Community multifaith class. O’Shea said Sink did not require stu-
dents to participate, but that she wanted the chance to help out. Ringer agreed, reiterating the importance of service.
“A person is not a believer of God if he sleeps with his stomach full while his neighbor is hungry and he knows that his neighbor is beside him and is hungry. The idea in that is that if everybody takes care of the neighbors around them, the entire community will be cared for.” MERALL SHERIF FPUNDER OF ASCSU’S WOMEN’S CAUCUS
“Professor Sink is really important in organizing this so our whole class was invited and
we decided to volunteer,” Ringer said. “I thought it’d be interesting to serve all these people and I really like helping others.” Dan Himes, a member of the Interfaith Council, said he chose to attend the event because of his roots within the council. Himes said he was shocked at the number of attendees and was excited to see the variety in people. “(I hope) to meet other people and to hear their stories just like I’ll be able to give my own,” Himes said. It was his first time attending the event, as well as the majority of guests attending. Karla Colonnieves said she came with a similar hope in mind. A friend invited her to attend for the first time this year. “I just wanted to experience it and see the diversity of different faiths and beliefs represented,” Colonnieves said. “(I want to) deepen (my) appreciation for that diversity and learn about different traditions.” Audrey Weiss can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Foothills >> from page 1
campus, the parking permit for commuter students is $552, with semester, monthly and other less expensive options available. It is unknown whether the price for Foothills Campus parking will be comparable to that of main campus, but PTS prices its permits to be competitive with peer institutions, according to its website. In the seven years that Reed Hollinger, an electrical engineering Ph.D. student, has conducted research at the Foothills Campus, he said he has had approximately 20 undergraduate students work for him. Hollinger said these undergraduates are working either for credits or as volunteers, citing the lack of monetary compensation as a concern. He said he’s worried that implementing a fee system
for the Foothills Campus may limit the opportunities for undergraduate students who have been a source of productive research work at CSU.
“Our biggest concern is the tax on undergrads and how that may prohibit some of them for working for labs out here at the Foothills Campus.” LAURA HOON-HANKS MICROBIOLOGY, IMMUNOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY GRADUATE STUDENT
Laura Hoon-Hanks, a graduate student in the Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology department, agreed, saying this could potentially hurt undergraduate research. “Our biggest concern is the tax on undergrads and how that may
prohibit some of them for working for labs out here at the Foothills Campus,” Hoon-Hanks said. The Atmospheric Sciences petition listed concerns for “deficient alternative transportation options” and lack of “environmentally friendly commuting options” in addition to fee expenses. There is currently one Transfort bus that runs to the Foothills Campus once an hour, and it takes 25 minutes to get from the CSU Transit Center to Judson H. Harper Research Complex. The bus does not run past 7 p.m. or on holidays, which Allison Vilander, a graduate student studying MIP, said is inconvenient for the researchers and students who are often on campus then. “If you miss it by five minutes, you have to wait an hour to get out here,” Vilander said. “If you work past six o’clock, you walk home for two hours—which I’ve done before.” Haberecht said there’s a possibility of enhancing public transportation to provide more options to students, faculty and staff who
choose not to purchase permits. Something else to take into consideration, said Jennie Bukowski, a Ph.D. atmospheric sciences student, is international students’ ability to get to the Foothills Campus, when many of the people she’s worked with have never driven before coming to America. “The bus is just not reliable enough for them to get to their classroom everyday,” Bukowski said. Unlike the University’s main campus, there are no surrounding neighborhood streets for alternative parking for students and faculty near the Foothills facilities, according to the MIP petition. Hollinger said there are several differences in the Foothills Campus and the main campus’s parking functions. The Foothills Campus also allows people transporting livestock to CSU from out of town to park their trailers there overnight. Rick Brandes, the Foothills Campus farm manager, said he feels it’s absurd to ask them to pay to park.
“I can’t ask them to buy a pass or parking permit to put their trailer in a dirt lot,” Brandes said. Another concern echoed by the petitioners is that the University doesn’t plow snow at the Foothills Campus during the winter, but the ARBL’s Equine Reproduction Lab barn crew does. Brandes said he and Assistant Farm Manager Greg Harding have also repaired potholes in some of the particularly bad lots. “If we’re going to be charged to park here, I’ll be damned if I’m going to clean another parking lot,” Brandes said. Haberecht previously told The Collegian that by requiring paid permits for the Foothills Campus, the University will be able to better maintain the parking lots to the same standard as the other CSU campuses. The permit plan will be developed based on the five listening sessions and will be turned over for further listening sessions with stakeholders in the winter.

ASCSU debates full use of student fees, game day parking policies By Stuart Smith @stuartsmithnews
With a great budget comes great responsibilities. A resolution to maximize the use of the Associated Students of Colorado State University’s $57 million in student fees was discussed during Wednesday night’s senate session. Senators also brought forward a bill to acknowledge the history of the Native American land the University was built on, as well as a resolution to voice displeasure at the parking policies on campus when football games are held on weekdays. Resolution to maximize use of student fees discussed College of Liberal Arts Senator Ethan Burshek presented a nonbinding resolution that he said he sees as a step towards decreasing the amount of student fees. The resolution would decrease budget excesses and carryover money from one ASCSU administration to the next. “What this attempts to do is compel, suggest or recommend increased spending up and to the point of spending the entire amount of student fees that we are allocated,” Burshek said. “In the event that you do not spend all of your allocated funding, you do not request more than what you spent.” The resolution would ask that ASCSU not request an amount of student fees that would put them above their maximum holdings in the previous year. “Let’s say ASCSU spends $50,000 in a year,” Burshek said.
“The next year we would not request more than $50,000.” ASCSU would be able to request less money, though, which Burshek hopes would lead to better use of the money. “I see this having one of two outcomes, and neither of those outcomes do I see as bad,” Burshek said. “One of the outcomes I see is we reduce student fees because we cannot spend them. The other outcome is we find more deserving ways to spend it and this University becomes increasingly better and better by leaps and bounds.” Land Acknowledgement bill brought to Senate Senator Milena Castaneda and Associate Senator Raven Pinto of the Native American Cultural Center presented a bill to acknowledge the use of Native land by CSU. If passed, the bill would require that the first, middle and last Senate sessions of each semester begin with the recital of a phrase acknowledging that the University is built on “traditional and ancestral homelands of the Arapaho, Cheyenne and Ute Nations and peoples.” “Each one of your colleges and (Student Diversity Programs and Services) offices mostly like have someone from this background and I think it’s important that we acknowledge the land that we’re on,” Castaneda said. Castaneda told the Senate she had spoken to CSU President Tony Frank about the bill and voiced his support for it. Weekday Game Day Parking resolution introduced Senator Kyle Witter of the

College of Liberal Arts introduced his resolution to express the displeasure of students about parking policies on football game days that land during the week. This resolution was in response to parking problems faced by people on campus during the Friday Border War, when parking lots were closed early. “While we as students don’t
have a lot of say in scheduling football games, we can make our voices heard,” Witter said. Football games are scheduled by the athletic conferences, in CSU’s case the Mountain West Conference, and T.V. networks that air the games. Women’s Caucus Chair Merall Sherif spoke on the power of the resolution, saying that while outside forces like the Mountain West and TV sports networks may have control of
these events, ASCSU should still speak up to the fullest extent that they are allowed. “We were given our seats by our college councils, and all of our positions, because students trusted us to be able to speak up about something when they’re upset about it,” Sherif said. “I think we need to continue with that spirit with all due respect to all parties.” Stuart Smith can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Geosciences Club analyzes ‘Deepwater Horizon’ movie, event By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites
Sometimes a Hollywood film screening can open up much deeper discussions. Colorado State University’s Geosciences Club and chapter for American Association of Petroleum Geologists hosted CSU alumni Greg Cudney and Ernie Brown for a screening and discussion of the Hollywood film “Deepwater Horizon.” The movie focuses on the 2010 BP Gulf Coast oil spill following the explosion of the Transocean Deepwater Horizon oiling rig. Students interested in a future with the geology or energy industries attended the screening Wednesday evening to understand and discuss the technical side of the oil spill. As former engineering executives at Schlumberger, the world’s largest oilfield service company, Cudney and Brown led the students in conversations about the causes of the spill, as well as the impacts the event had on the industry’s practices. The two also made a point to focus on the future possibilities for students studying geology. “We want to get future geologists to understand some of the roles they can have in their industry,” Brown said. “We’re
using a real-life event and a real-world disaster to help them understand what these future positions and experiences might end up being.” Cudney shared a similar perspective, focusing on the possible circumstance for such students’ futures.
“We want to get future geologists to understand some of the roles they can have in their industry. We’re using a real-life event and a real-world disaster to help them understand what these future positions and experiences might end up being.” ERNIE BROWN FORMER SCHLUMBERGER ENGINEERING EXECUTIVE
“Students don’t always know what opportunities lie in their life or in their future,” Cudney said. “They don’t know if they might be dealing with something like this in their life and we want to have that discussion.”
Andrew McCarthy, treasurer for AAPG, said that, despite the focus on geologists, the event was advertised to anyone who was interested. “This was a national and even international event,” McCarthy said, referring to the oil spill. “Everyone has a stake in this and in the oil industry.” Cudney agreed that the screening and discussion of the oil spill was a good opportunity to get other students interested in the industry. “This was the biggest disaster in the oil industry as far as loss of life and money,” Cudney said. “People know that so this was a good way to get more enthusiasm for our industry.” Cudney and Brown offered explanations for both technical and dramatized scenes, recounting actual events alongside the movie’s storyline and answering questions along the way. Mostly, the two discussed the main issues during the BP oil spill in hopes they won’t be repeated. “These guys were way behind in their drilling curve and spending way too many days on the rig site,” Cudney said in reference to the workers on the rig. “They took some shortcuts and that’s one of the major technical reasons why it happened and it’s something we re-

ally want to highlight. They had a bit too much confidence and it led to a series of mistakes and incidents.” Other issues were highlighted, such as two worrying test results being overlooked, Brown said. “There are things that are critical that got overlooked,” Brown said. “There were also conflicting pressures on the workers. In real life, when you have those pressures you get conflict. You don’t know what’s right and that’s one of the things that happened here.” Throughout the screening,
Cudney and Brown would pause the movie to answer questions and to explain scenes. The two said they wanted to emphasize the reality of what occurred. “Being a Hollywood movie, there’s going to be drama and that might be the only thing people see,” Cudney said. “We’re here to explain the technical issues and to help them understand what the real facts were. We want people to delve into the real issues of what happened and why they happened. That’s what matters most tonight.” Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Indicted Rep. Duncan Hunter won re-election. What if he’s convicted? By Colleen Shalby Los Angeles Times
Indicted Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter of California won re-election this week, beating back a robust Democratic challenge. But on Dec. 3, he’s due in federal court, where he faces felony charges that he misused campaign contributions. So what happens to his congressional seat if he’s convicted? The congressman from Alpine, east of San Diego, pleaded not guilty in August and refused to take himself out of the race in his 50th Congressional District, saying the federal indictment alleging fraud and conspiracy was politically motivated. In the election, he faced Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar in one of the most personal and at times ugly races in the state. The Republican repeatedly made unfounded claims that his opponent would be a national security risk. If Hunter is convicted, there is no constitutional provision or House rule that explicitly re-
quires him to lose his seat, even if he is imprisoned and unable to vote on behalf of his district. Whether he would be pressured to resign would be a decision for the House majority party — soon to be the Democrats. “You can be found guilty and still serve,” said Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson. Ahead of the election, a September poll showed that nearly 4 in 10 of the district’s likely voters believed the five-term incumbent was definitely or probably guilty. Hunter and his wife, Margaret, who also pleaded not guilty in the case, are scheduled to go to court Dec. 3 for a status hearing. Proceedings were delayed after a defense attorney requested more time to go through discovery material. The Hunters could face 21 months to five years of incarceration if convicted, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. In that case, a series of possibilities could play out. You can be found guilty and still serve.
House rules do advise — but do not mandate — that a sitting member sentenced to two or more years in prison step down from committees and refrain from voting. After his indictment, Hunter broke from standard practice and declined to step down from his committee posts; he acquiesced after House Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s office moved to strip his committee posts, according to Politico. In the case of conviction, the leader of the majority party can ask — and pressure — a member to step aside. “I think if Hunter is convicted and it appears that he has to be in prison, there would be enormous pressure from the party leadership for him to step down,” Levinson said. “Because they would want to have a working member — someone who isn’t literally behind bars.” But the only way a member would be forcibly removed is by expulsion, which is uncommon. It’s occurred five times in the House, the last time in 2002 when Rep. James Traficant, an
Ohio Democrat, was convicted of racketeering and other felonies.
“I think if Hunter is convicted and it appears that he has to be in prison, there would be enormous pressure from the party leadership for him to step down. Because they would want to have a working member _ someone who isn’t literally behind bars. JESSICA LEVINSON LOYOLA LAW SCHOOL PROFESSOR
(In the Senate, there have been 15 expulsions since 1789. Fourteen of the senators were expelled for supporting the Confederacy.) Other than expulsion, the House can censure or repri-
mand a member. In 1979, for example, Charles Diggs of Michigan was censured after he was convicted on 11 counts of mail fraud and 18 counts of making false statements. Censure requires members to stand at the well of the House — the area in front of the rostrum — to receive a formal and public disapproval, and they are typically stripped of committee duties. Reprimand often comes in the form of a letter or private meeting. If Hunter were convicted and needed to be replaced, it would mean a special election. In California, a special election is typically called within 14 days to fill a House seat. The election is held 126 to 140 days after the election proclamation. That means a vacant seat could remain empty for quite some time. “I suspect if Hunter is convicted,” said Matt Glassman of Georgetown University’s Government Affairs Institute, “he’s not coming back to Washington.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Jeff Sessions resigns, setting up potential clash over Russia probe By Chris Megerian & Del Quentin Wilber Los Angeles Times
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was forced to resign Wednesday, ending a tortured relationship with President Donald Trump and opening what could be a historic fight over the sprawling criminal investigation that has clouded Trump’s White House tenure. The president had publicly mocked and belittled the nation’s top lawman ever since Sessions recused himself last year from supervising the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential race. But Trump waited until after Tuesday’s midterm election to force Sessions out – and to choose a critic of the probe as his temporary replacement. In a tweet, the president named Matthew Whitaker, Sessions’ former chief of staff at the Justice Department, to serve as acting attorney general. Trump did not say who would be nominated as a permanent replacement, or when he would make the decision. Whitaker, 49, will supervise the Russia investigation led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, according to a Justice Department official. He thus will displace Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who took control of the probe after Sessions stepped aside because of his high-profile role in Trump’s 2016 campaign. As acting attorney general, Whitaker will have the authority to restrict the special counsel’s budget, refuse to sign off on aggressive investigative steps, and even attempt to shut Mueller’s probe down. Whitaker was an avowed critic of the investigation before he joined the Justice Department in September 2017. He wrote a month earlier in an opinion column for CNN that Mueller was “dangerously close to crossing” a “red line” by looking into Trump’s personal finances. Whitaker probably will have to meet with ethics officials at the Justice Department to determine whether his criticism of the Mueller probe, or his previous work for Sam Clovis, a Trump campaign co-chairman who has testified to the grand jury in the Russia case, poses a potential conflict of interest with his supervising the investigation. Whitaker is also likely to face questions over investigations into Democratic political leaders. He wrote in USA Today in July 2016, during the presidential race, that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton should be charged with a crime for handling classified information on a private email server while she was secretary of state. Under the law, Whitaker can serve as acting attorney general
for 210 days if no one is nominated to replace him. When Trump nominates a permanent replacement, Whitaker can hold the job until that person is confirmed by the Senate. A stout, hard-charging figure, Whitaker served as a U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Iowa from 2004 to 2009 under President George W. Bush. He later ran unsuccessfully in the state’s 2014 Republican primary for U.S. Senate. Before his political career, Whitaker attended the University of Iowa for college, business school and law school. He was tight end for the Hawkeyes varsity football team and played in the 1991 Rose Bowl, although his team lost. Democrats, who retook the House of Representatives in Tuesday’s election, expressed alarm that the Russia investigation – which has led to charges against 32 people and convictions or guilty pleas from five of Trump’s former aides – appeared in danger.
“I came to work at the Department of Justice every day determined to do my duty and serve my country. I have done so to the best of my ability.” JEFF SESSIONS FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL
“Protecting Mueller and his investigation is paramount,” said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y. “It would create a constitutional crisis if this were a prelude to ending or greatly limiting the Mueller investigation.” Schumer and other Democrats called on Whitaker to recuse himself, as Sessions did, and leave the probe in Rosenstein’s hands. Although Trump and Democrats expressed some willingness Wednesday to work together in the new Congress, removing Sessions will likely create an immediate flashpoint in coming weeks. “We will be holding people accountable,” tweeted Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., who is in line to become chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said Trump “must be terrified” about what Mueller has uncovered. “Trump is desperately trying to protect himself and his cronies from justice by installing a political hack as acting attorney general,” he said. The special counsel’s office declined to comment. Whitaker issued a statement Wednesday evening praising Sessions and thanking the president.
He did not mention the Russia investigation. “I am committed to leading a fair Department with the highest ethical standards, that upholds the rule of law, and seeks justice for all Americans,” he said. The Justice Department released Sessions’ undated resignation letter shortly after Trump had finished a lengthy news conference during which he had pointedly refused to say whether Sessions would stay in the Cabinet. “I’d rather answer that at a little bit different time,” Trump said. The president later asserted his power over the Russia investigation, saying he could “fire everybody right now.” “But I don’t want to stop it because politically I don’t like stopping it,” he added. “It’s a disgrace. It should have never been started because there was no crime.” Sessions said in his letter that he had been honored to serve as attorney general and to uphold the rule of law. “I came to work at the Department of Justice every day determined to do my duty and serve my country,” he wrote. “I have done so to the best of my ability.” He left the building as night fell Wednesday to applause from colleagues and supporters who gathered outside. He shook hands with Whitaker and Rosenstein, waved several times to the crowd and stepped into a black sport utility vehicle. Sessions’ ouster marks the bitter end of a once-crucial political alliance. An archconservative, he was the first member of the Senate to throw his support behind Trump’s presidential bid, and he helped shape the anti-immigration, tough-on-crime message that helped propel the reality TV star into the White House. Trump named him to lead the Justice Department after the election. During his time in office, Sessions sought to carry out the president’s agenda, steering the Justice Department to tougher policies on violent crime, drug trafficking and immigration. He cited success in those areas in his letter to Trump, writing that his department had “operated with integrity and ... lawfully and aggressively advanced the policy agenda of the administration.” But Sessions’ relationship with Trump evaporated after the attorney general, on advice from Justice Department ethics lawyers, recused himself from the Russia probe shortly after he was confirmed by the Senate in March 2016. Sessions had failed in his confirmation hearing to disclose his own meetings with a Russian diplomat during the campaign, sparking concerns about his can-

dor. He endured humiliating criticism from the president, who publicly accused his attorney general of disloyalty and worse. The invective crested in mid-2017 when Trump criticized Sessions in a New York Times interview and series of tweets, calling him “beleaguered” and “very weak,” and harped on him to go after Hillary Clinton. Sessions pushed back when Trump renewed the pressure in February. “As long as I am the attorney general, I will continue to discharge my duties with integrity and honor, and this department will continue to do its work in a fair and impartial manner according to the law and Constitution,” he said in a statement. But as Trump continued to rail against the Mueller probe, Sessions’ position seemed ever more tenuous. Trump even mocked Sessions’ claims of political independence at the Justice Department. “Jeff Sessions said he wouldn’t allow politics to influence him only because he doesn’t understand what is happening underneath his command position,” Trump tweeted Aug. 25. He repeated the insult on Fox News, asking angrily, “What kind of man is this?” Sessions signaled at the time that he would not step down voluntarily. Justice Department actions, he responded, “will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.” Despite Trump’s bitter criticisms, Sessions was long able to count on support from his former
Republican colleagues in the Senate. But several recently suggested they were open to a replacement. “I like Jeff Sessions, but this is just not working,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told NBC News on Monday. Last year, Graham had said there would be “holy hell to pay” if Sessions were fired. The president has insisted there was “no collusion” between his 2016 campaign and Moscow’s effort to steer the election in his favor through computer hacking, social media posts and other tactics. He has bitterly criticized the Mueller probe as a “witch hunt.” Although no Americans have been charged with conspiring with Russia in its intelligence operation, the criminal probe has dug deep into Trump’s inner circle. Among others, Trump’s former national security adviser pleaded guilty to lying to investigators, his former deputy campaign manager pleaded guilty to conspiracy and lying, and his former campaign chairman was convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud before cutting his own deal with prosecutors to avoid a second trial on related charges. In addition, Mueller’s team provided federal prosecutors in New York with information that spurred the investigation of Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer. Cohen subsequently pleaded guilty to tax evasion and campaign law violations that he said were directed by Trump to cover up his alleged affairs. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Campus community lacks basic human connections By Guest Author @CSUCollegian
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. Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval. I feel like I missed something, some cultural shift maybe. I grew up in New York City, one of America’s tough towns. It was the 1960s and the summer of love. I used to love walking, window shopping and people-watching. People actually made eye contact on the streets, busses and subways. This is 2018. We look to millennials as the saviors for a badly broken world, yet based on walking the Colorado State University campus, people look
down when they walk and avoid human contact so necessary for the healing we need today. We cry out for peace, tolerance and community so I am confused that this is our daily behavior.
“It makes me feel so disconnected from the community of man, like I am invisible.” I have volunteered at CSU for many years. Twice a week I walk all over campus. Achieving eye contact with people here is nearly impossible. There is the whole smart phone phenomenon but even people who arent on their phones only look straight ahead or down. I’d assume that those who text or talk on phones while walking hold human connec-

tions to be of value. Yet this avoidance of humans immediately in front of them seems contrary to this goal. It makes me feel so disconnected from the community of man, like I am invisible. I am a flower child from the ‘60s, so I think the ideal society is a friendly, welcoming and non-fearing one. As with everything else, these ideals start at home with each of us. So, when you see me or anyone on campus trying to make eye contact think about a nod, or a smile, or even a good morning. Try it for a day, a week or a month. It might just enrich your soul and improve America.

Does social media connect or divide us? College students are surrounded by social media. We’re constantly online, sharing posts on Twitter and checking up on family on Facebook. There are both positives and negatives to social media, presenting us with the question: Does social media connect or divide us?
Leta McWilliams @LetaMcWilliams
Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. We’ve all heard the horror stories of social media. Problems like cyberbulling and sexting scandals have latched themselves on to the various social media platforms, skewing their perception negatively. However, social media use has many positives that we consistently overlook. Social media makes us more social. The positive impacts of social media outweigh the negatives by allowing us to engage more with people we know and people we don’t know and create positive changes by a few taps on a screen. Social media allows us to be more engaged with people we already know. From my own experience, I know that the relationships I’ve built with other people have only been stronger because of social media’s ability to keep up with their lives regardless of my ability to see them in person. Many of us were separated from our friends and family once we left for college, and social media effortlessly aids us in keeping those relationships. According to the Pew Research Center, “more than eight-in-ten social media-using teens say social media makes them more connected to information about what is happening in their friends’ lives and 70 percent say these social platforms better connect them to their friends’ feelings.” Social media platforms are a great way for people who are otherwise more shy to open up. In a study done by Griffith University and the University of Queensland, it was found that young adults felt less isolated than those from previous generations because of their ability to connect with others. Social media gives them access to their friends at any moment, making them feel less alone. Social media allows us to engage with people we don’t know who have similar interests and make big changes. Activism has been one of the most positive aspects of social media.

benefits, has personally brought her closer to friends. However, research shows that social media can create an illusion of online companions so convincing that it leads to isolation from real-world friends. A 2017 cross-sectional survey published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine assessed 1,787 young adults to analyze associations between social media use (SMU) and perceived social isolation (PSI). The study looked at SMU of 11 different platforms including Facebook, Snapchat and Reddit. Their conclusion: the higher one’s SMU, the higher their PSI. This study suggests that as we engage more with social media, we feel significantly isolated from one another. At its most extreme, social media can incite anti-social and/or illegal behavior. A 2011 review in the Scientific World Journal investigated the links between internet addiction and anti-social online behavior amongst adolescents. Although the study scrutinized Chinese adolescents, its findings of negative online action can be seen regularly in our own nation. The research identifies five antisocial, potentially criminal internet behaviors: illegal downloading, pornographic or “aggressive information,” cyberbullying, cheating (i.e. dishonest) behavior and online gambling. Certainly most internet users can admit they have either witnessed, been victim to or personally participated in one or more of these behaviors. Despite everything I’ve described in this article so far, there are some benefits to social media. It may give us a sense of connection with those thousands of miles away. It keeps us updated on global events. It provides distraction and enjoyment in an often disconcerting world. Social media may even shed light on mental health issues. A study tracking suicide risk factors via Twitter suggests that the site may be useful for identifying at-risk individuals. It even found that the location of such Twitter users aligned with regional data on suicide rates. If we can detect those who are struggling, hurting or feeling isolated through social media, perhaps we can redesign it to be a healthier online space. Until then, however, it appears that social media is making us more anti-social than ever. Lauren Willson can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
3 takeaways from Rams’ opening win By Luke Zahlmann @LukeZahlmann
The era of Coach Niko Medved began victoriously as the Colorado State Rams bested Colorado Christian University in the team’s opener by a wide 100-66 margin. A lopsided tally began early, with the Rams running out to a 26-3 lead on a pair of 6-0 and 20-0 streaks to begin the contest. The team put up a higher scoring total than any game last season, besting their high of 90 against San Jose State University. The runs aside, here’s a trio of takeaways from the Rams’ first contest of the year. The energy was back on the floor Last season, whatever was left of Moby Madness faded as the year came to a close. Under the tutelage of an interim staff after the resignation of Larry Eustachy, the Rams lost their final five games, including a first-round Mountain West tournament exit. Not only did the Rams jump out to a double-digit lead in a mere seven minutes of game time, but the energy was also different. Multiple players, including redshirt junior Nico Carvacho and freshman Kendle Moore, hit the floor for loose balls, an anomaly for much of last year. The hustle showed in the box score as well as the Rams accrued four steals in just the first half, with a 26-14 rebounding advantage to boot. “Everyday in practice we talk about being consistent,” Moore said. “Coach Niko makes sure whenever there’s a loose ball, we’re the first team on the floor .” In the final box score, the Rams had totaled five steals in the game, a 49-25 rebounding edge and forced eight turnovers. Spotlight fails to shock the youngsters Once committed to Drake University, Moore followed Medved to Fort Collins. The move is already paying off for the youngster. In the first half alone, Moore racked up 13 points and a trio of assists, with only a single turnover. Chosen to facilitate the Rams’ attack, Moore brought an energy that was missing at times from the point guard position last year. The guard finished with a team-high 26 points on 9-11 from the field. “I can’t stop smiling for (Kendle),” redshirt junior Anthony Masinton-Bonner said. “He’s put the work in and like I said, we all have a lot of confidence in him.” On the outside, fellow former

Drake commit and freshman Adam Thistlewood showed progress as well. The stretch forward went 2-5 from outside, totaling 10 points in the contest. The tally may have been higher had the youngster not headed to the locker room after a blow to the head with just under seven minutes left in the first. Both freshmen played big minutes as well, with Moore leading the way with 32 and Thistlewood with 26. Those who chose to return paid dividends After the turmoil last year, several Rams’ players looked at the possibility of transferring. Two of the returners were Carvacho and Masinton-Bonner. Medved is already seeing their impact. “Nico plays hard,” Medved said. “He plays hard every day in practice, he’s a competitor, he’s got fire, I love that. He plays with his hair on fire on defense and rebounding.” In the game, the two combined for 36 points and 20 boards, with the Masinton-Bonner leading the scoring outage by 22. Not to be outdone, Carvacho registered a first-half double-double, finishing with 14 points and 15 boards. The offense also featured more ball movement with the departure of former Ram Prentiss Nixon. Another possible transfer, redshirt senior Robbie Berwick, made an impact as well, finding multiple cutting Rams en route to easy layups. The vision for the game was exemplified when he couldn’t even see who he was passing to. The Rams will head into the weekend with a 1-0 record to take on the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff in a Saturday matinee matchup. The game tips off at 2 p.m. Luke Zahlmann can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

FOOTBALL
Wesley shaping into unlikely leader for Rams’ offensive line By Mack Beaulieu @Mack_Covers
As a former walk-on, redshirt freshman, Barry Wesley has been modest through the early part of his career, but with the Colorado State offensive line struggling and Wesley excelling, his time has come to be a leader of the team. Wesley has been a utility man for the Rams, having played both tackle and guard, but he’s proven to some that he’s more than just a throw-in or the next man up. As of now, Wesley is the most obvious person to lead this line going forward. “Barry’s got a chance to be a really good leader for us,” Coach Mike Bobo said. “One, because I think he’s going to be a really good player, two, he’s a guy that’s going to do things right on and off the field, and three, I think he’s not afraid to speak his mind, which is all characteristic of a leader.” One of the only constants in a line that has been shifting for much of the year, Wesley has started every game and is now taking snaps at center in practice. While it’s unlikely he takes over for senior Colby Meeks, it could be an omen of what’s to come next year. It’s a position where communication is crucial for the instruction of teammates. Wesley is starting to take on that role after coming up less heralded than most of his teammates.
“It’s a mystery. I could be the next Tyron Smith or I could just be some scrub. I can take myself as far as I want to go and it’s only me, I have people surrounding me that will help me get there, but in the end, it only comes down to what I want to do and how I see things.” BARRY WESLEY REDSHIRT FRESHMAN
Wesley didn’t have any scholarship offers from FBS schools coming out of high school, and there were times when he briefly considered giving up football. After making the Colorado High School Activities Association 5A All-State team his senior season, Wesley decided to follow former high school teammates Bisi Johnson

and Jake Bennett to Fort Collins as a preferred walk-on. Few people saw his rapid rise and being put in a position of leadership coming so soon. “In my opinion, Barry is a future All-American,” senior running back Izzy Matthews said. “He came in as a walk-on, he loves football, and he never quit … He probably can’t be as vocal as he wants to be because he’s a freshman, but I see him growing to be one of those guys like a Jake Bennett or Fred Zerblis who’s just a staple of the offense.” But with Wesley performing at a high level and the Rams being guaranteed to lose at least four seniors, that role is coming sooner rather than later. “The influence he’s going to have right now is in that offensive line room,” Bobo said. “Sometimes we think leaders have to be leaders of the whole team, but it can start in your
segment. I don’t want Barry to wait until January to be a leader. I think he needs to step up now like he’s talking about.” Wesley’s starting to recognize his own strengths as he gets more responsibility from the coaches, and while still level-headed, he’s exuding more confidence than he did early in the year after being named as a starter to start the season. “I first recognized that I could be a leader of the team when Coach (Dave) Johnson put me at different positions,” Wesley said. “I’m the only one in my class that’s playing right now and I think that shows a lot of what I can do and how I can lead the offensive line to where I want them to be. So I’ve recognized it and I’m ready for the challenge.” Wesley has a lot of time to get there as the lack of offers he had coming out of school may now be a blessing. The lineman
thrives on taking in knowledge and now he has an extra year to maximize his potential. His coaches dote on how well Barry takes in their instruction. One of the things Wesley said drives home his knowledge is trying to extend what he knows to teammates. “I think the best way to learn is to teach somebody else,” Wesley said. “When you teach somebody else, they learn, and it makes you know the information better.” At this point in the season, Rams fans might not want to hear about any bright spots on the Rams’ offensive line. Wesley and everyone else knows it hasn’t been pretty, but he exemplifies the process that individual players need to take to grow and develop. He’s quietly confident in his own abilities, while knowing there’s still a long way to go for him and his teammates.
“You can’t play football without the offensive line,” Wesley said. “You can’t throw or run the ball successfully without the offensive line, so I think it’s pretty critical that we improve within these next few weeks and in the course of the offseason.” It’s unknown where Wesley could take the Rams, but the hope is they choose to take on the mentality of improving in the same way Wesley does. “It’s a mystery,” Wesley said. “I could be the next Tyron Smith or I could just be some scrub. I can take myself as far as I want to go and it’s only me. I have people surrounding me that will help me get there, but in the end, it only comes down to what I want to do and how I see things.” Mack Beaulieu can be reached at sports@collegian. com.

SPORTS FOR DUMMIES
Understanding the basics of hockey for newcomers Ashley Potts @ashleypotts09
I was taking photos at a Colorado Eagle’s game last season and found myself sitting next to a particularly talkative fan, one that screams profanities at the opposing team and has an arsenal of insults for the goalie ready to go at any given time. I didn’t think anything of it until I noticed him pull out his phone and Google, “How many quarters are in a hockey game?” I rolled my eyes, but looking back now I can admit that hockey is a little odd. Get it? Because there are three periods in a game. But since hockey is kind of a foreign concept to the general American population, I figured I’d break it down. Power Play This is pretty basic and happens often during a game. A power play happens when someone on the opposing team is called for a penalty and is sent to the penalty box for two or more minutes depending on
the infraction. While their player sits in the box for two minutes, your team has an advantage. You play 5-on-4 and ideally create an opportunity to score while you’re up. When you do score on the PP, it’s pretty exciting. Penalty Kill This is exactly the opposite of a power play. This is when a player on your team gets called and has to sit in the box for two minutes. The other team then has the advantage and you hopefully stop them from scoring. If you successfully defend their advances for two minutes, it’s also pretty exciting. Icing This is where things get a little confusing. Icing is similar to offsides, but also different. Hockey has three lines: the center line is a halfway line and the other two blue lines indicate offensive zones for each team. Icing is when the puck crosses the center line and the other teams’ blue line without being touched by an opposing team’s player. I say it’s similar to offsides in that it’s essentially in place to avoid cher-
ry-picking and breakaways. It’s a rule hockey has in addition to offsides, so both can be called in hockey. Goon This is a word meant to describe a player who is good at fighting and not much else. It’s a little outdated and there has been talk of goons no longer existing as the game of hockey has progressed. They’ve also been referred to as enforcers since that’s a little more flattering. Regardless, it’s still fun to watch players drop their gloves and punch each other in the face and it’s kind of fun to follow a team and see the players who do so consistently. There are even a few funny movies out there surrounding goony hockey players and an actual documentary on enforcers. Put the biscuit in the basket Hockey also has a lot of slang, probably because of its Canadian roots. The “biscuit” refers to the puck and the “basket” is the goal. So this basically means to score a goal, but in a very slang way. Celly This is slang for celebration. Hockey is known for hav-

ing some pretty good celebrations after players score goals. Each player has their own celebration and they include a simple fist pump, flying eagles, bow and arrow shooting and various other weird and fun shows of excitement. There are a ton of other

weird slang words that come out at hockey games that are rooted in tradition and Canadian-ness, so keep an ear out for those. But, hopefully, now you won’t have to Google in the middle of your trash talking. Ashley Potts can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Medved revamps toxic basketball culture left by Eustachy By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz
Coaching with anger, instilling fear to get a point across and throwing chairs out of frustration are all tactics that can be attributed to former Colorado State basketball head coach Larry Eustachy. All of those tactics characterized the toxic environment Eustachy created. Following his resignation, a coaching change in Fort Collins was necessary, to say the least.
“I think we are just more of a team, we are just really close. Coach Niko and all the other coaches really help keep us together and not spread us apart. The culture change is everything positive. I think that is going to help a lot and show up on the court.” NICO CARVACHO JUNIOR FORWARD
CSU players needed a positive role model and a coach they actually wanted to play for, not someone that they were afraid to make mistakes in the presence of. So once Eustachy’s misconduct came to light, it was out with the old and in with new. Former Drake University Head Coach Niko Medved was hired as the head coach March 21. Medved has brought a polar opposite personality to the team that he was once an assistant coach for from 2007-2013. Coaching with positivity, cracking jokes and building healthy relationships describe Medved’s philosophies. Any coach brought into this situation would make an effort at developing a new culture, but Medved has gone above and beyond in doing so. “Since we’ve gotten here, we’ve really tried to spend time getting to know these guys,” Medved said. “When you can buy into something like that, great things can happen.” Even when it is for the better, change can be difficult, especially for players who have played under a different coach for quite some time. Core players such as redshirt senior guard J.D. Paige, redshirt junior guard Anthony Masinton-Bonner and redshirt junior forward Nico Carvacho,

who were recruited by Eustachy, have bought into Medved’s enthusiasm. “I think we are just more of a team,” Carvacho said. “We are just really close. Coach Niko and all the other coaches really help keep us together and not spread us apart. The culture change is everything positive. I think that is going to help a lot and show up on the court.” It was extremely difficult for CSU players to maintain an ideal level of focus as Eustachy’s conduct made national news. CSU finished 11-21 (4-14 last season), marking the program’s first under .500 finish in nine seasons. Players’ attention was unwillingly detered from basketball in the midst of Eustachy’s resignation. The Rams have been given a clean slate and can now solely focus on basketball, instead of wasting their energy on a situation that they couldn’t control. Current Rams are vocal
about the sense of relief they have experienced. “When all that turmoil was happening, a lot of us kind of split ways,” Masinton-Bonner said. “Obviously when that happens the whole team chemistry breaks down and you can’t win a game. ... There were just a lot of distractions. ... It was hard to deal with for young guys like us (when) we are still trying to mature. We moved on, and I’m really happy about where we are at right now.” Medved’s character has not only been demonstrated in words, but in the actions of others. When it became public that Medved decided to come to CSU, others followed. Assistant coaches Dave Thorson, JR Blount, Ali Farokhmanesh and Director of Men’s Basketball Operations Aaron Katsuma were all members of Medved’s staff at Drake last season. They all came along with
Medved and now hold the same positions on CSU’s coaching staff. “One of the big things was that (Medved) is family oriented and he is about the right things,” Farokhmanesh said. “Everyone says that he is about the right things, but I think the right things are about teaching these kids more than just basketball. They are not going to walk out of here just with an idea of how to play basketball, but they are going to leave Colorado State with an ability to be a great father, be a great husband, be a great whatever they decide to do.” Medved’s entire coaching staff weren’t the only ones who were determined to stay with the coach. Freshman guard Kendle Moore originally committed to Drake, but once he found out that Medved left the program, Moore reopened his recruitment.
Shortly after, the CSU head coach offered Moore a scholarship, securing him as a member of the Rams. The guard led all scorers in the Rams’ exhibition game last Saturday against CSU-Pueblo with 19 points on 7-9 shooting from the floor. Freshman forward Adam Thistlewood also left Drake for Fort Collins and has shown he is a significant addition to the team. The forward scored 16 points and accumulated seven rebounds in the Rams’ exhibition game last week. “Definitely his personality stuck out to me,” Thistlewood said. “He really cares more about your character and your person off the court than sometimes on the court. He cares about academics, character and then, obviously, basketball.” Eddie Herz can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

NATIONAL
Center Connor McGovern leads new-look Broncos offensive line By Kyle Fredrickson The Denver Post
Connor McGovern did not take a snap during a game at center through four years at Missouri. And none with the Broncos since being drafted in 2016 until Sunday, when he moved from right guard to step in for the injured Matt Paradis. Paradis, who sustained a fractured fibula late in the second quarter against Houston, had started the previous 57 games. The next man up at center is McGovern, which will give the Broncos their fifth different starting offensive line combination in 10 games. For the 6-foot4, 306-pound mauler with long black hair and bushy beard to match, it’s a big responsibility but one he’s confident he can handle. “Snapping the ball isn’t something that’s hard for me,” he said. “That’s second nature.” McGovern played scout-team center during one redshirt season at Missouri prior to making 40 college starts at either guard or tackle. The Broncos featured McGovern at both guard slots in his 13 starts the past two seasons, but he did play center during the off-season when Paradis was recovering from surgery on both hips. Then again, even he admits,
the “offseason and live bullets are two different things.” Especially when replacing a team captain whose impact went far beyond his ability to block. “Matt is like a coach on the field, so you can’t replace that,” coach Vance Joseph said. “He is brilliant in protections. You won’t replace Matt’s football IQ or his play, but we have to adjust to do what’s best for the players that are going to play in his place. ... My comfort (with McGovern) physically at least is fine. It’s just the mental part of being a center in this league that’s different. It’s like being a quarterback. That part he has to obviously study and get ready to conquer.”
“It’s a lot easier to figure schemes out if you have someone to bounce ideas off of.” CONNOR MCGOVERN FOOTBALL GUARD
The good news? Paradis has mentored McGovern dating back to 2016 when Denver selected McGovern with a fifth-round draft pick. The linemates have become good friends. “I’m always in the film room watching with him,” McGovern
said. “It’s a lot easier to figure schemes out if you have someone to bounce ideas off of. .. I just learn, and all that kind of stuff preparing has been a huge help. I’ll keep going forward with it.” The patchwork makeup of the line doesn’t end with McGovern. His absence at right guard opens the door for Eli Wilkinson or Billy Turner inside. Wilkinson took 40 snaps against the Texans and allowed one quarterback hit, one sack and had one poor runblock. Starting right tackle Jared Veldheer played his first game in weeks Sunday after returning from a knee injury. He played all 66 offensive snaps and had two penalties and two allowed quarterback pressures. Veldheer called McGovern a “bright guy” who “has to go in there and run the show.” “You’re the one that gets everything started,” McGovern said of his new role. “You’re the one that gets everyone going to the right spots, and ultimately, the play starts with you.” The Broncos travel to face the Chargers on Nov. 18. That’s a stiff test for a first-time starting NFL center. “I know I’m not Matt Paradis,” McGovern said, “but I’m going to do my best to fill the gap.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Old Town Churn sirve helados para la comunidad By Graham Shapley @shapleygraham
Editor’s note: The Collegian is starting a section in Spanish for our Spanish-speaking readers. Spanish articles are available online and in print. Una representación altísima de una heladera manual se eleva por encima de los otros restaurantes y tiendas en The Exchange, aunque al edificio todavía le faltaba su manivela en la inauguración el 27 de octubre. La inauguración estuvo encabezada por el dueño de la nevería Little Man Ice Cream, Paul Tamburello, que pasó más de cinco años tratando de traer su marca de helados a Fort Collins. El pasado día 27 su trabajo por fin dio frutos y les dio a los residentes de Fort Collins un día lleno de diversión y convivencia. “Cuando tuvimos la oportunidad de venir a Fort Collins pensamos: ‘Hay que hacer algo semejante a (Little Man)’”. dijo Tamburello en un preestreno para los medios de comunicación el 24 de octubre. “Nos dijeron que no. En aquel momento, nos sentimos muy frustrados. El Ayuntamiento nos dijo claramente que no quería otro Little Man”. Little Man es una nevería en Denver que está diseñada como una lechera que mide ocho metros y medio de alto. Tomó algo de tiempo que la sucursal en Fort Collins se hiciera una realidad después de que la propuesta inicial fuera rechazada por el Ayuntamiento.

Queríamos algo que se centrara en la comunidad, un lugar de reunión, así que empezamos a hablar sobre la plaza. Lo primero que pensamos fue: ‘Tenemos que volver a reunirnos’. Lo retomamos justo donde lo habíamos dejado”. En cinco años, desde que Little Man Ice Cream firmó la carta de intenciones hasta que les dieron una segunda oportunidad, su perspectiva de cómo ampliar su negocio había cambiado completamente. “(Fort Collins) no quiere cosas

que son familiares”, dijo Tamburello. “(Ser rechazados) cambió nuestro enfoque empresarial permanentemente. Nunca vamos a volver a hacer otra réplica de un envase. En cada comunidad a la que vamos ahora escuchamos lo que quieren, tratamos de entender las raíces de esa comunidad y diseñar basándonos en eso”. La heladera fue elegida para representar el pasado agrícola de Fort Collins. “Estamos ilusionados con dirigir nuestro negocio con determinación y pasar a formar parte de la comunidad de Fort Collins”, dijo Loren Martínez, un graduado en Negocios de la Universidad del Estado de Colorado (CSU) que ha avanzado en su carrera desde servir helados en 2018 hasta ser el Director de Operaciones para Little Man. “Regresar a Fort Collins me recordó por qué estoy orgulloso de ser un Ram de CSU. Es un lugar único, y es por eso por lo que me enamoré del lugar”. Hasta los sabores de los helados están inspirados en la comunidad. Old Town Churn tendrá diferentes sabores que se irán rotando, incluidos tres sabores inspirados en Fort Collins hechos por la chef Claire Fields. “La inspiración es muy obvia en Fort Collins”, dijo Fields. “Estaba pensando en la agricultura, la ciudad universitaria, y le di muchas vueltas. ¿Qué tipo de cosas interesantes y llamativas podemos hacer con los productos agrícolas? ¿Qué cosas verdes podemos hacer para los estudiantes de CSU? ¿Cuáles

son los sabores clásicos para los estudiantes universitarios?” De esas preguntas salieron tres sabores. Para la parte agrícola, “The Exchange” es un helado a base de queso brie mezclado con panceta. “Matcha Honey” es un helado de té verde con miel local de Colorado. Para los estudiantes universitarios, “The Boilmaker” es un helado de caramelo con Fat Tire, una cerveza de New Belgium, y whisky.
Este modelo de negocio centrado en la comunidad dio sus frutos en la inauguración, a la que cientos de personas asistieron. La ceremonia del corte de cinta la llevaron a cabo miembros del Ayuntamiento junto con dueños de negocios y artistas locales. Algunos miembros de la banda local Bonnie and the Clydes tocaron en directo en una Old Town Plaza abarrotada. La plaza estaba llena de personas disfrutando de su helado y esperando en fila para
probar diferentes sabores. Un evento de trick-or-treat en la calle atrajo a niños disfrazados, y por la noche hubo un baile de disfraces con música disco silencioso. En cuanto a Tamburello, ya está haciendo planes para el futuro. “Creo que el invierno va a ser divertido, pero la primavera será asombrosa”, dijo Tamburello.

‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ fails to dive deep into Freddy Mercury’s life By Ty Davis @tydavisACW
A life as prolific as Freddy Mercury’s will always require more time than a conventional film could give it. Despite this, “Bohemian Rhapsody” chooses numerous ways to incorrectly summarize Mercury’s grandiose life, from overlooking crucial details to blatant inaccuracies. The film is a summary of rock band Queen’s greatest hits, with the majority of the second act going from the story of one great hit and iconic concerts with brief looks into Mecury’s life, but doing this directly contradicts thematic focus of the film. The film centers around themes of social isolation and loneliness using Mercury’s relationships, homosexuality and Queen’s music to espouse on the topic, instead of dedicating the time to examining the moments that would compliment these themes. Despite focusing on themes that deal directly with relationships with people, the film skips
over the development and deterioration of Mercury’s relationships with his bandmates and ex-fiancé Mary Austin. The film makes several large skips in time to cover big moments and the creation of some of Queen’s largest singles, but these moments are not necessarily the most important moments in the life of Mercury, nor necessarily the most relevant to the themes. The film also spends time exploring how music can connect people, including a very powerful scene in which Mercury discusses how fans in Rio de Janeiro started singing the lyrics to the song “Love of My Life,” and how he felt understood and connected to all of them. Sadly, the film does not go further into this topic.
MORE INFORMATION ■ ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is now
playing at Fort Collins Cinemark theaters.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” also fails to relate these themes to the sense of social isolation from being a gay man in the 1980s. The film never truly goes in-depth into exploring Mercury’s struggle with his identity, or how coming out changed his relationships with his friends. The film also tries to brush over
any gay interaction it can, trying to erase his sexuality. There are blatant falsehoods about how Mercury established his relationship with his bandmates, his relationship with Jim Hutton, the inspiration of the song “Bohemian Rhapsody” and when both Mercury and the band discovered he had AIDS. There is one powerful scene that serves as one of the highlights of the film. The recreation of the Live Aid concert genuinely had me choked up and there’s a palpable sense of connection with your fellow person. There’s an immense sense of humanity and emotion, as the direction goes from intense performance to quiet moments of surreal weight. It’s hard to describe this scene without saying it feels like the culmination of a legend. Should you watch it? Yes, for the sake of paying homage to Mercury. Sadly, the few powerful moments of the film don’t make up for its flaws. Mercury changed music, united people, gave people who felt like an outcast a place to belong and was an LGBTQ icon. His legacy deserves to be respected enough to not make falsities and gloss over such important aspects of his life. Ty Davis can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

Slow Caves talks new EP, early musical influences By Jonny Rhein @johnnyrhein
Local band Slow Caves has made a name for themselves in the rock scene of Fort Collins and throughout the United States. In the four years since their official formation, Slow Caves has opened for bands like Mini Mansions and Cake, has played Red Rocks and toured extensively since last year, but that is only the beginning. “We recorded back in January,” said singer and guitarist Jakob Mueller. “I will say that 2019 is going to be the busiest year we’ve had as far as releases and touring.” Slow Caves released “Desert Minded” last year, an EP filled with surf rock vibes and echoes of The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys. Lately, the band has been throwing it back to Oasis, Nirvana and The Cribs for inspiration. With new influences comes new creativity, and Jakob Mueller said they took their new material in a different direction. “It’s very different,” Jakob Mueller said. “It’s more guitar heavy, you could say it’s heavier in general. There’s an overall emotional trend throughout the record. It’s very influenced by both American and English guitar music from the ‘90s as far as Britpop and grunge whereas the ‘Desert Minded’ EP, some of the songs are pretty surfy which hasn’t really carried over at all.” David Dugan, bass player for Slow Caves, said the style has definitely evolved, even since the release of their most recent singles, the “Poser” and “Rover” split. “It’s definitely in that vein, but we’re sort of slowing down a little from that one and exploring that vibe, taking that to a newer, sonic place,” Dugan said. “We worked with a producer that pushed us to create really cool sounds. I would say it’s more mature than our other stuff. We waited so long to make a full-length album because we wanted the first one to be something that we could really be proud of, and I think that’s what we’ve done now.” Since “Desert Minded,” Slow Caves have released two singles, “Poser” and “Rover” and a live session from the acclaimed Audiotree studio in Chicago. Slow Caves is the product of several musical projects among childhood friends and a love for music from an early age. Dugan and singer and guitarist Oliver Mueller started a band called The Rewards, and Jakob Mueller joined later as the guitar player, but later switched to

drums. After some instrument swapping and Oliver Mueller’s return to Fort Collins from California, Slow Caves has formed into what it is today. “We wanted an opportunity,” Jakob Mueller said. “My brother moved back from California, and we were like ‘let’s just start a new band.’”
TOUR INFORMATION ■ Slow Caves are closing the year
strong with a tour including a show with Third Eye Blind in Aspen. ■ Tour dates can be found on www.slowcaves.com.
Brothers Jakob and Oliver Mueller grew up surrounded by music. Their father is the drummer of the band Fjord Collins and their parents encouraged them to find innovative hobbies as children. Aside from their parents pushing them in the right direction, they had a little help from Jack Black too, of course. “My parents said to (Oliver),
basically, ‘you have to play an instrument,” Jakob Oliver said. “You can’t just sit around and play Gameboy.’ So then I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll do it too.’ And then we got really into it because we saw ‘School of Rock;’ that movie is still amazing. Both of our parents were really into David Bowie and The Who, so from the start, (we were) a pretty musical family.” Dugan had a similar childhood experience with music. Like Jakob and Oliver Mueller, his early influences were David Bowie, The Who, The Beatles and Queen. His mother would play him a song that made a huge impact on his musical inspirations and his life in general. “My mom one day showed me Jimi Hendrix, ‘Purple Haze,’ and it changed my life,” Dugan said. Slow Caves are closing the year strong with a tour including a show with “Third Eye Blind” in Aspen. Tour dates can be found on www.slowcaves. com.

How to make gravlax for Hanukkah or brunch menus By Leah Eskin Chicago Tribune
Easy DIY for your next brunch: cured salmon. Gravlax means grave salmon. Not grave as in serious, grave as in hole. Once, the Scandinavian fisherman buried fresh salmon in sand, letting salt and time cure it. Much like Sweden’s soured herring, Norway’s rotten fish and Iceland’s putrefied shark, the technique is better than the marketing. These days there’s no need to dig a salmon grave. At the deli, you can swap $50 for a pound. If you’re feeling thrifty or adventurous (but not so thrifty and so adventurous as to buy a seat on Iceland’s WOW Airlines), simply bury your salmon in salt and sugar. In two days, unwrap gravlax. Gravlax offers a salty bite and buttery texture that’s ideal for slicing paper thin and heaping onto bagel, black bread or potato cake. The technique extends salmon’s brief fridge life from a day to a week. It also extends the harried minutes of breakfast to the luxurious hours of brunch. Now that’s the cure.
___ GRAVLAX Prep: 25 minutes Wait: 48 hours Makes: 1 pound
INGREDIENTS ■ 2 tablespoons citrus or plain
vodka, optional ■ 1 cup chopped fresh dill ■ 3 tablespoons kosher salt ■ 3 tablespoons brown sugar ■ 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ■ Finely grtated zest of 1 lemon ■ 1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, pin bones removed Directions: 1. Douse: Line a small glass baking dish with a long stretch of plastic wrap. Slice the salmon in half crosswise and set both halves, skin side down, on the plastic. Pour vodka (if using) onto salmon. 2. Pat: Toss together dill, salt, sugar, pepper and zest. Pat this spice mix all over the fish.

Fold one chunk onto the other, flesh sides touching, skin sides out, like a salmon sandwich. Wrap this sandwich tightly in the plastic wrap. Cover dish. 3. Marinate: Chill 48 hours,

turning the sandwich over every 12 hours or so. 4. Serve: Unwrap salmon. Brush off excess spice rub. Pat dry. Slice gravlax against the grain into paper-thin ribbons, leaving behind the skin. The
gravlax is nice Hanukkah-style garnishing potato pancakes; Swedish-style on buttered black bread; or Sunday-style with bagels and cream cheese. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Local food thrives in season at Winter Farmers’ Market By Linc Thomas @lincthomas1
Fort Collins has a thing for local and fresh food no matter what time of year. The Winter Farmers’ Market began its season Nov. 3 at the Opera Galleria in Old Town, presented by Northern Colorado Food Cluster. More than 40 vendors selling locally made goods and produce will participate in the market from November to April.
FARMERS’ MARKET DATES The Winter Market by the Northern Colorado Food Cluster is held at the Opera Galleria 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ■ Nov. 17 ■ Dec. 1, 15 and 22 ■ Jan. 12 and 26 ■ March 9 and 23 ■ April 6
The Larimer County Farmers’ Market launched in 1975 by the Colorado State University Master Gardeners and Extension Service, which still operates the market today. The market provides opportunities for low-income individuals to
purchase fresh and local fruits and vegtables with “SNAP” and the “Double Up Food Bucks” incentive programs. Alison O’Connor, master gardener and co-coordinator of the LCFM, explained that the market also provides a place for vendors to grow their business or hone in business practices. “Since we’re part of CSU Extension, our mission is outreach education,” O’Connor said. “We’ve found that many small businesses have gotten their start at our market. The market promotes community development and is a spot for socialization, gathering and learning more about your neighbors and the community.” Of those vendors taking advantage of a connection to community was Turtle Mountain Fermentary, a Fort Collins-based kombucha taproom. Turtle Mountain Fermentery started in 2014 with the goal to provide the community with a delicious and healthy, fermented food and drink, according to their website. Turtle Mountain Fermentary can be found all over Fort Collins, including Odell Brewing, The Bean Cycle, Happy Lucky’s Tea House, Fort Collins Co-op and Avogadro’s Number. Sunray Natural Farm brought an array of loose-leaf organic teas, incorporating herbs grown on their home-

stead farm. The Fort Collins farm embodies permaculture and biodynamic focuses, which means the farm uses a mixture of design-intensive and artistic farming styles. During the Fall Festival, Sunray Natural displayed over 30 blends of specialty herbal teas and over 30 unique varieties of spice blends. Unfortunately, their farmraised puppies were not at the Farmers’ Market, but can still be found at their homestead farm.

Miller Farms, a well-known Colorado farm, offered loads of fresh produce to the Fall Festival fun. Since the early 1950s, the Miller family has grown vegetables on the Front Range and delivered fresh produce to the community. Miller Farms is always welcoming tours and is currently in their own Fall Festival, complete with corn mazes, harvest-your-own vegetables and farm animals. “The majority of our customers live within a five-mile
radius of the market,” O’Connor said. “There is a huge diversity of people who attend – everything from young families to college students to those who are retired. This was my 13th season and I’ve seen kids grow up and start college. It’s a fun environment.” Linc Thomas can be reached at entertainment@collegian. com.
