Study uses yoga to reduce risk of falling for Parkinson’s patients By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites
Patients with Parkinson’s disease incorporated a fusion of yoga and occupational therapy into their routines as part of a recent Colorado State University study to reduce their risk of falling. Laura Swink, a Ph.D. student in occupation and rehabilitation science, has been working
with the Raintree Athletic Club in Fort Collins and her advisor, associate professor Arlene Schmid, to study the combined effects of occupational therapy and yoga on such patients. The study took place at an adaptive yoga for Parkinson’s program at Raintree Athletic Club, Swink said. She had been volunteering at the program— led by Jennifer Atkins—and decided to adapt the occupational
therapy part of the program and partner with the class. Swink’s research follows a study Schmid conducted in 2014 on the impact of yoga and occupational therapy on those who have experienced a stroke. The 2014 study also focused on and showed positive results for reducing the risk of falls. “My advisor, Dr. Schmid, first developed the Merging Yoga and Occupational Ther-
apy (MY-OT) program—a fall risk self-management program for individuals with chronic stroke,” Swink wrote in an email to The Collegian. “She had discovered that yoga improved balance (but not fall risk factor management), and group occupational therapy improved fall risk factor management (but not balance).” Swink wrote that, together, yoga and group occupational
therapy that was focused on identifying and reducing risk factors improved both the balance and risk factor management. Swink then proceeded to search for similar effects in Parkinson’s patients, adapting the occupational therapy part of Schmid’s program to fit the needs of those with Parkinson’s disease.

Beer, wine now served at Moby Arena’s Loft By Stuart Smith @stuartsmithnews
Following in the time-honored tradition of mixing beer and basketball, Colorado State University fans can now turn up in Moby Arena. With its beer and wine license approved by the City of Fort Collins last Thursday, both of CSU’s major sports arenas now serve alcohol, with Moby Arena’s new Loft now selling beer and wine to of-age CSU fans. The Loft holds around 300 people, one-fourth the capacity of the New Belgium Porch at Canvas Stadium. Unlike the New Belgium Porch, the Moby Loft is open to all fans at games, not just those with an extra membership. The only way to get into the New Belgium Porch during games is to spend an extra $200 on top of an existing season ticket, according to the University’s Athletics department. CSU Athletic Director Joe Parker said in an interview with Mile High Sports the Loft made sense “with the success of the New Belgium Porch.”
Ticket sales and attendance both increased in the first two years of Canvas Stadium, which features the New Belgium Porch. The Porch is a field-level area with two bars on the north end of the stadium. When Canvas Stadium opened in 2017, CSU brought in more than 192,000 fans through the fall, breaking its all-time season record. The construction of the Loft follows a decline in attendance at CSU basketball games, in the Mountain West Conference and across the NCAA as a whole. Through last year’s first ten home games, average attendance was 3,217. Average attendance in the 2016-2017 season was 3,926. Attendance in the 1990s hovered around 6,000. All alcohol purchased in the Loft must be consumed there, similar to the Ramskeller in the Lory Student Center basement. The area is standing room only and offers the sole location in the arena where alcohol can be consumed. If successful, a second Loft could be built on the east concourse, Parker told Mile High Sports.

Construction on the Loft began in November 2018 with the removal of bench seating on the west concourse that was used for overflow seating for sell-out games. It was chosen because
season-tickets had never been offered there. Moby Arena’s next event will be CSU’s men’s basketball team against the visiting Boise State Broncos Tuesday night at
7:00 p.m. The women’s basketball team will host the Air Force Falcons Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Stuart Smith can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Occidental College president to step down By Teresa Watanabe Los Angeles Times
Occidental College President Jonathan Veitch, who weathered turbulent campus protests over sexual assault and racial inequity, will step down next year, the Board of Trustees announced Sunday. Veitch, 59, said he is resigning voluntarily because he longs to return to teaching, research and writing _ passions he put on hold while leading the liberal arts college in Los Angeles’ Eagle Rock section that President Barack Obama attended for two years. Trustees will begin a national search for his successor. He said he feels “satisfaction” in looking back on his decadelong tenure, including the controversies that rocked it. “I don’t regret any of it — these are the most vexing issues in our country,” Veitch said in an interview. “It’s been a real source of satisfaction to try to address them. And it’s a work in progress. You never quite get to where you want to be.” In 2015, as racial protests inflamed campuses nationwide, scores of Occidental students occupied the administration building for a week, calling for Veitch’s resignation as one of many demands to diversify the school. Veitch didn’t quit but
the college has since launched a Black Studies program, hired a vice president for diversity and inclusion, increased women faculty and boosted funding for diversity programs, he said. In 2013, Occidental drew national headlines when 50 students, alumna and faculty members filed federal complaints alleging the college had fostered a hostile environment for sexual assault victims. The U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights office ultimately found that Occidental — the first California campus it investigated — had failed to address some sexual misconduct complaints promptly but did not otherwise violate federal civil rights laws and voluntarily agreed to reforms. Those reforms included expanded training and education to prevent sexual assault, a new Title IX coordinator and confidential advocate to support victims, revamped investigative procedures and a 24-hour confidential hotline. “There’s no question about it: they were difficult and challenging,” the Occidental chief said of the controversies. “They forced me to really think and grow and reflect on what we’d done.” In a message to the Occidental community Sunday, Board of Trustees Chairwoman Susan
Howell Mallory praised Veitch’s “passion, creativity and considerable skills as a fundraiser,” saying few of the college’s presidents have served so long and accomplished so much. She said the board encouraged Veitch to extend his contract, which ends June 30, 2020, but he declined. Veitch was dean of the New School’s Lang College in New York City when he was tapped as Occidental’s 15th president in 2009. His selection marked a homecoming for the Los Angeles native and scion of a Hollywood family _ his step-grandfather was the actor Alan Ladd and his father, John Veitch, was president of Columbia Pictures’ worldwide productions. He saw Occidental’s great potential in its location, as one of the few liberal arts colleges nestled in the heart of a major metropolitan area, “this incredible, glorious, dysfunctional city” as he put it. He worked to build partnerships with such prominent cultural institutions as The Getty, Autry Museum of the American West and Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. In 2017, the college launched the Barack Obama Scholars Program, which provides students a full scholarship to cover more than $250,000 in all college expenses over four years. Obama has endorsed the pro-
gram and asked that it focus on community college transfer students, military veterans and the first in their families to attend college. So far, the college has raised $10 million and enrolled the first two recipients; Veitch said they hope to raise four or five times that amount to bring on more scholars. “The goal is to put them through a curriculum that will make them effective change agents on behalf of the public good,” said Veitch, whose office is dominated by an enormous reproduction of a 1980 campus photo shoot of Obama the student in a series of playful poses. “We’re very proud of our connection to President Obama. It’s not every liberal arts college that educates a president.” College officials believe Obama is a major reason that applications have steadily increased since his presidency — from 6,013 in 2009 to a record 7,500 for this fall. The college enrolls about 2,000 students. Veitch also has boosted Occidental’s annual fundraising haul from $12 million in 200809 to an average of $22 million every year since then. The endowment has grown from $274 million to $434 million during that time, according to college data. Veitch largely credits more active outreach to alumni for the increased contributions.
In addition, Occidental has launched several new projects under Veitch, including a solar energy system, environmental science center, career center and Olympic-sized pool and tennis center. He also spearheaded a drive to create a global affairs center and enroll more international students, who have increased from 2 percent to nearly 7 percent of the student body in the last decade. Now, however, the intellectual life is luring him back. After he steps down in June 2020, Veitch said he plans to teach at Occidental and write a book about democracy and the liberal arts tradition. He argues that the liberal arts, for all its naysayers, is “absolutely the best preparation” for an information-based economy and healthy civic society because it cultivates the ability to analyze complex problems and negotiate disagreements. “It’s been a good ride and I really enjoyed it, but I really miss the chance to read and write and think,” he said. “Over the holidays, my daughter was at home reading Russian novels and I was reading memos. “So I thought, ‘I want her job.’“ Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Pet hedgehogs linked to salmonella outbreak By Mari A. Schaefer The Philadelphia Inquirer
You can now add those adorable little hedgehogs to the list of pets that can give your family health problems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating an outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium in 11 infected people, including six children under age 12, from eight states. Ten of the victims reportedly handled the spiky mammals. One person has been hospitalized but there have been no deaths attributed to the outbreak. Salmonella is a bacteria that can result in diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps 12 to 72 hours after exposure. The illness can last four to seven days. Those most vulnerable are children younger than 5 years, adults older than 65 years and people with weakened immune systems.
About 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations and 450 deaths are linked to salmonella in the United States every year, the CDC estimates. Though salmonella infections are frequently traced back to consumption of foods such as meat, dairy and even produce, the bacteria also has traveled to people via exposure to backyard chickens, reptiles, ducklings and birds. The germs from the hedgehogs were likely shed in their droppings, which can contaminate their bodies, cages, toys and bedding. The CDC suggests that pet owners keep the critters out of the kitchen or anywhere food is prepared and not to let them roam freely in the home. Whatever you do when you play with hedgehogs, don’t kiss, snuggle or hold them close to your face, the CDC warns. And wash your hands after touching them. Always.

Parkinson’s >> from page 1 “I developed the MY-OT intervention for stroke and (Swink) then worked with experts and people with Parkinson’s to modify it to be more appropriate for people with Parkinson’s disease,” Schmid said. In June 2017, Swink applied for a small student grant through Lee Silverman Voice Treatment Global, a program with a mission to “improve the speech and movement of people with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions,” according to their page. LSVT Global funded Swink’s study from January 2018 to December 2018. In April of last year, Swink interviewed experts and asked people with Parkinson’s what they would want to be included in the program. In this study, participants served as their own controls, so Swink assessed participants in August 2018 and then began the intervention in October 2018. “Participants in the study then (took part) in an hour of yoga and an hour of group occupational therapy twice a week for eight weeks,” Swink wrote. The owner of Raintree Athletic Club donated conference room space so that participants could easily move from the occupational therapy part right to the yoga studio, Swink wrote. “In the yoga part, Jennifer
Atkins led the class through guided breath work and graded postures from seated, standing and supine positions,” Swink wrote. “I am a registered occupational therapist and I designed the occupational therapy part to include some lecture, discussion and activities to help identify and manage risk fall factors.”
“What I can share is that participants loved the social component of the program and were very motivated to help each other and share insight on what they have changed to reduce fall risk.” LAURA SWINK PH.D. STUDENT IN OCCUPATION AND REHABILITATION SCIENCE
Atkins, a yoga instructor with the Raintree Athletic Club for over eight years, said she’s been conducting Adaptive Yoga classes for almost six years. At the club, she teaches ongoing weekly classes to people with Parkinson’s disease. Atkins said Swink has been working with her for almost two years as a highly valued assistant in the yoga class. “My regular students have commented on the value of her program for them and we have gained a few more students from it,” Atkins said. “They

know the importance of practicing mindful movement everyday—which is exactly what we do in my classes.” Atkins also said that the management and front desk staff for Enlight Studio within the athletic club have been dedicated and committed to providing ongoing support. “These special members of our community are very grateful for this opportunity to safe-
ly participate and improve the quality of everyday life while living with PD,” Atkins said. Swink wrote that she’s always had a passion for working with those with Parkinson’s disease and that she wanted to work occupational therapy around their needs. “Falls are a huge concern for people with Parkinson’s, and oftentimes people fall multiple times in a year—which can have devastating consequences,”
Swink wrote. Now, Swink is beginning to analyze the results of the study. “What I can share is that participants loved the social component of the program and were very motivated to help each other and share insight on what they have changed to reduce fall risk,” Swink wrote.

Netflix’s ‘YOU’ shows our generation Colorado needs to normalizes toxic relationships watch out for its parks Kenia Ortiz @Kenia_Ortiz_
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. Netflix’s recent and popular series “YOU” has people fascinated with main character Joe Goldberg. Joe is a stalker and serial killer and yet some viewers still support him. Along with “YOU”, Netflix series ‘13 Reasons Why’ sheds light on toxic relationships. While these shows are highly entertaining, we are a susceptible audience and it is normalizing toxic behavior. A toxic relationship is characterized by insecurity, self-centeredness, dominance and control. Penn Badgley, who plays Joe, has spoken out about the romanization of his character. In an interview with The New York Times, he says that while his character is depicted as charming and romantic, “He kills four people and then Beck. What more can we tell you about his character than that?” Even after Badgley’s statement, fans continue to find his character alluring. We have been convinced that dangerous and violent behaviours and its tolerance are proofs of love. This is a dangerous ideal targeted towards young audiences, causing them to see nothing wrong with abuse and manipulation in relationships. The “13 Reasons Why” Twitter account posted a picture glorifying the toxic relationship between Justin and Jessica and fans spoke up. Fans were upset that “13 Reasons Why” was promoting a rela-
tionship where a partner let their significant other be raped. Our generation highly romanticizes toxic relationships and popular shows as “YOU” and “13 Reasons Why” reaffirm our dismissals of red flags of an unhealthy relationship. Some signs that you or a someone you know may be in a toxic relationship: separating from family friends, looking for emotional support outside the relationship, cheating, lying or manipulation is involved and possibly relationship violence. According to the Women and Gender Advocacy Center at Colorado State University, if someone were to disclose information about being in a toxic relationship it is important to listen to them, validate their experience, assure them they are not to blame and support them by letting them know they have options. Toxic relationships cause people to feel powerless and frightened, so let them know you are there for them. According to Dr. Lillian Glass, author of Toxic People and expert in communication, while all relationships have downs, a toxic relationship is constantly draining. It is important to keep in mind that sometimes both partners in the relationship are toxic and not just one. Another sign of a toxic relationship is when a relationship no longer brings joy but instead one feels sad, anxious, angry and envious of happy couples, Glass wrote. Kristen Fuller, a family medicine physician and specialist in mental health, states that toxic relationships are also mentally, emotionally and possibly physically damaging to one or both participants. They can cause people to feel selfish for taking care of themselves and doing stuff that makes them happy. According to Fuller, “you cross
NOPE
&
the line when you’re not your individual self anymore and you’re giving everything to your partner.” Even though it is relieving to know you or someone you know has left a toxic relationship, it is important to know that there is aftermath. After a person leaves a toxic relationship, there are still feelings of trauma, low-self esteem, depression and isolation. This can be due to self-blame and reminiscing the good times of the relationship and overlooking the harm.
SIGNS OF A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP ■ Separating from family friends. ■ Looking for emotional support
outside the relationship. ■ Cheating. ■ Lying or manipulation is involved and possibly relationship violence. A few steps on how to take care of yourself after leaving a toxic relationship are surrounding yourself with positive people, seeking professional help if necessary, make new friends and not rushing into another relationship. “YOU” and “13 Reasons Why” serve as a reminder to be careful avoiding warning signs of a toxic relationship and also just because a show portrays a toxic relationship, it does not mean that they should be accepted. If you have any questions, concerns or need assistance, please reach out to the Women and Gender Advocacy Center or the Victim Assistance Team here at CSU.

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. Colorado is a state rich with natural beauty. It’s home to over 40 state parks with even more national parks, wild life preserves and public lands. Over a third of the land in Colorado is open to the public. The problem is that too many people want to see it. While this is an issue in national parks all over the country, it is one that more people in Colorado should take notice of. Parks are overused, and the high traffic from visitors actually degrades the nature the parks were intended to protect, as well as the visitor’s experiences. Over 7.5 million people go to Colorado national parks ever year. An additional 12 million go to the state parks. This is a tremendous amount of guest considering only 5.7 million people even live in Colorado. The Rocky Mountain National Park sees 4.5 million visitors a year by itself. On a crowded weekend, there is nowhere in the park that isn’t full of people. “We don’t have that magical place to send visitors on those days,” RMNP spokeswoman Kyle Patterson said. All those people are not only make a trip to the parks less “magical,” it’s also slowly killing the land itself. During the most recent government shutdown, where most park resources had been frozen, it was more obvious to see what humans were doing to the land. In the last month, mounds of garbage and human waste had been left all over major national parks, such as Yosemite, leaving potential long lasting effects and damage to
wildlife populations. Some national parks in Colorado, even had to delay their re-openings due to the damages that had accumulated during the shutdown. The answer is not to limit the amount of people that can see the park since everyone should be able to enjoy nature. Therefore, the answer lies where it almost always does: funding. Parks need more money to maintain and organize this land. To solve issues like crowded roads and parking, many parks like Zion and Yosemite have turned to using shuttles to bring people in. Unfortunately, planning of a continuous shuttle system takes money and manpower. To help stop the natural erosion from said system, more money will be needed. Not to mention the $11.6 billion backlog on repairs needed just at national parks. Our parks aren’t just beautiful pieces of earth that deserve our protection they are also paying us back all the time. Rocky Mountain National Park added $455 million to Colorado’s economy in 2016. In total parks added $722 million that year. Parks are a good investment. The more money we put into them for maintaining trails and organizing the masses that want to enjoy them, the more money we will get back as a state. It can’t just be on the state government. People need to take personal responsibility for their waste and damage at parks. So when people go hiking they need to pick up their trash and stick to the trails. The culture of Colorado is built on a few key characteristics with the love of the outdoors being basically number one. As a state we should start putting our money where our heart is and consider better funding the park system. Fynn Bailey can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Rams seek back-to-back victories vs. Boise State Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz
The Colorado State Rams will be seeking their third consecutive victory at Moby Arena when the Boise State Broncos travel to Fort Collins for a Mountain West bout Tuesday. CSU improved to 8-12 overall and 3-4 in conference play by picking up a 74-65 upset victory over Fresno State Saturday. Defeating the 14-4 Bulldogs snapped a two-game skid for the Rams and also represents CSU’s most significant win of the season thus far. “We were locked in the whole game for 40 minutes, and we ended up coming out with the win,” redshirt senior guard J.D. Paige said. “So, we just have to stay locked in and execute tomorrow.” The Rams exhibited a stout defensive effort against the typically high-scoring Bulldogs, holding FSU to 11 points less than its season average. CSU managed to control the glass against the conference’s fifth-best rebounding program as well. “I thought we guarded really well against Fresno,” Coach Niko Medved said. “That has to start becoming who we are...I think that is what we are looking for: a consistency and trying to develop an identity of
tougher defense.” The 9-11 (4-3) Broncos come to Moby fresh off a 7752 victory over the Wyoming Cowboys. Similar to CSU, BSU’s recent win broke an accumulating funk. The Broncos lost three straight Mountain West games before coasting against the Cowboys. Much like the Rams, Boise State features a roster loaded with guards led by juniors Justinian Jessup and Alex Hobbs. The two returning starters are combining to average 23.7 of the Broncos’ 71 points per game. Guards RJ Williams and Derrick Alston are averaging double-figure scoring totals as well, while Williams leads BSU with 5.4 rebounds per game. Redshirt junior forward Nico Carvacho will have the opportunity to move up on CSU’s career rebounding list after recently surpassing Matt Barnett for fourth all-time. Carvacho collected 14 rebounds in the Rams’ victory over FSU, giving him 785 rebounds in his collegiate career. Matching his total from Saturday would tie Pierce Hornung for third in CSU program history in career boards (799). A win for the Rams over the Broncos on Tuesday would also end a four-game losing streak against BSU dating back to the 2015-16 season. Overall, Boise State holds a slim 1110 advantage in the series’ 21 games thus far.

CSU has been much better at home against BSU in their history. The Rams have won eight of 11 meetings with Boise State at Moby Arena. “I think this could be a big
step for our team,” Medved said. “Can we carry over what we did Saturday and start to develop some consistency?” The Rams and Broncos will tip off just after 7 p.m. MT. The
game can be watched on AT&T Sportsnet and listened to via KARS 102.9 FM. Eddie Herz can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Carpool and share the price of gas! Turns out cramming into a tiny car to drive across the country with all of your ski gear is a cheap way to see a new place, as well as a bonding experience. Just trying to get into skiing and don’t know where to start? Here are a few extra tips:
Borrow gear from friends or buy used gear from places like Gearage or Craigslist. Skiing doesn’t have to be incredibly expensive, and everyone should have the opportunity to participate. You don’t have to have the best gear out there to spend time with your friends and explore new places!

A Passion For Turns Unlike many Coloradans, I didn’t grow up shredding the mountain’s hardest runs by the time I was four. I grew up in Minnesota with a family that had no prior experience of snow sports besides sledding. My first skiing experience was on a reclaimed landfill that is now a six-run ski hill in the flatlands of Minnesota. But, like many Coloradans and Colorado transplants, I was always attracted to what the mountains could offer and all the ways I’d be challenged and humbled by Mother Nature herself. For my first powder day and second time skiing ever, I headed up the Poudre Canyon with CSU’s Outdoor Program for instructor training. This was also my first time in the backcountry. As we drove further up, the snowpack got deeper, topped with the fresh eight inches from the big storm cycle the night before. The folks who accompanied me were incredible athletes, some seeming as if they came out of the womb styling the black diamond runs. There I was drowning in the deep powder wondering how I will ski without being able to see my skis. Struggling to keep my tips up and
trying to pizza the whole way down through the trees, I found myself falling in love with the sport. Two weeks later, I got my AIARE 1, a three-day class on avalanche hazard management. The weekend after that, my real obsession began. Throughout these past seasons, I’ve experienced Colorado’s backcountry in ways I couldn’t imagine and learned more lessons than I can count. The avy report became my daily newspaper and I was constantly in the pursuit of powder. My places of bliss and comfort were still in my backyard, right up the canyon and into the pass. Places like Montgomery Bowl, T-Trees, Hot Dog Bowl and Ptarmigan taught me everything I know. I learned the art of balancing rather than charging forward on powder; the struggle of cold climbing skins; the importance of caution and relentlessness of the mountains; and the beauty of breakfast burritos in the backcountry. I’ve experienced so much beauty and enjoyment through backcountry skiing these past few seasons, but I’ve also experienced a more
somber side encompassing changes within our snowpack and environment. I’ve become attuned to the decrease in our snowpack, the oddly warm winters and the less frequented precipitation. As skiers, we notice how this affects our seasons and as individuals we need to notice how this greatly affects humans and our world. Since my graduation from Warner College of Natural Resources, I’ve had the opportunity to work with an organization called Protect Our Winters (POW). This organization is mobilizing the outdoor sports community to take a stand against climate change by working with outdoor enthusiasts to become climate advocates. They’ve taught me quite a bit in the pow(d)er of our community. I’ve learned that our future is not hopeless. The larger our voice, the greater the impact. We, as the outdoor community, are in the direct lines of climate change. It affects our livelihoods and every day lives, but it also affects our passion and identity as outdoor enthusiasts. Get out and protect our passions!

Searching For Pow
This winter break, with the help of the new Ikon pass, a group of senior Rammies took off on a ski trip, visiting a few of the largest ski destinations in the nation. With our final semester of school looming before us, we packed nine days with skiing, laughing and quality time with friends while road-tripping 1,500 miles across the western half of the country. Our trek started in Lake Tahoe. We were able to ski Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows while staying with family in Reno, NV. The lake views from the top of both resorts were breathtaking, and even with just a few inches of fresh snow, we ripped around and explored all of the terrain offered. There was fresh snow to be found if you explored far enough, although icy moguls were present as well. From there we drove across the desert of Nevada to Salt Lake City, sleeping on the floor of a generous friend’s apartment. Alta and Snowbird showed us the best of the Wasatch mountains, including a bit of just-opened terrain where we got fresh tracks! Jackson Hole, our final destination, did not disappoint. Steep vertical runs and a blessing

How can you plan a ski trip on a student budget? Here are a few tips and tricks when planning an epic traverse of your own: Season passes like the Ikon and Epic pass offer student discounts that work at resorts all over the country. If you’re planning on taking a long trip, think about buying a pass like this to several resorts. Day tickets at U.S. resorts can be extremely expensive, and using an Ikon or Epic pass can pay off after only a few days.
If you’re just starting out, look for tickets to resorts like Snowy Range. They offer great beginner terrain and have affordable lift tickets. Have a friend with a ski pass? They may have buddy tickets! See if you can get a discounted day ticket from a friend with a pass. As a student you can utilize CSU resources such as the CSU Outdoor Program’s learn-to-ski trips which offer transportation, equipment rentals, a lesson and a day ticket for less than $100. CSU also has a new bus system called SkiSU that provides transportation to certain resorts for students who may not have a car. If possible, avoid resort skiing on weekends and holidays. On weekends and holidays, ski resorts in Colorado are often overcrowded and chaotic. For novice skiers, crowds can be stressful and dangerous. Instead, take advantage of weekdays or ski over breaks.
Want to get to a new destination? Frontier Airlines now offers flights as low as $19 oneway, even with paying the baggage fees to check your gear, it still offers a pretty affordable option compared to other airlines and many hostels offer great deals for students looking for inexpensive lodging. Instead of eating out for every meal while on the road, go to the grocery store and purchase snacks and ingredients to make meals on your own. Many hostels have shared kitchens where meals can be made, which is much less expensive than eating out.

Avalanche held back by shaky goaltending even as 3 All-Stars emerge By Paul Klee The Gazette
Tough to get a read on these Avs. Let’s use our lifeline with the crowd at The Can. Uggghhhh. Yep, sounds about right. It was more of a groan than a hush that swept over a sellout audience at Pepsi Center on Monday. More of a sound that predicts what’s fixin’ to happen before it does. Here, take the second period of Nashville’s 4-1 win as a prime example: on both the Viktor Arvidsson and Roman Josi goals, the fans in the stands groaned in unison before either puck left their stick. If the Avs fanatics have lost faith in the goaltending, how must the players feel? “The difference in the hockey game was their goalie,” coach Jared Bednar said afterward. When Vezina Trophy winner Pekka Rinne is at the other end, wasteful goaltending tends to get noticed. While it’s true that mainstay Semyon Varlamov allowed only one bad goal — the Arvidsson ziparound — when’s the last time an Avalanche goalie stole a game for the good guys? It’s been a while, roughly as long as it’s been since the Avs won consecutive games — way back in November. Whether it’s a playoff series in April or a matinee in January, the Predators know all the right but-
tons to push with the Avalanche. They’ve won 12 of 13 head-tohead, each one serving to magnify the areas in which Nashville is really good and Colorado is not good enough. Hint: it’s between the pipes. And you know what? There are few sports things I loathe more than placing the blame on a goaltender. Nine times out of ten, a bunch of other things went wrong before the puck slipped past his guard. So it’s not like Varly lost the game on Monday. He saved 23 shots. It’s more that Rinne was so good he stole the game. He saved 35. “What did we have (in terms of shots on goal)?” star forward Mikko Rantanen asked at his locker. Thirteen shots in the first period, 12 in the second — not too shabby by any measure. “I don’t know what else we can do,” Rantanen said. In the race for a playoff spot, the Avs are being chased by lambs, not wolves. Their goal differential of plus-10 stands out among the seven or eight teams that will be fighting for a Wild Card berth. But just as the home crowd lets loose a groan whenever there’s an oddman rush for the bad guys, those shaky goals seem to suck all the momentum from the Avalanche. It’s a lot of pressure to put on

the top line of Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Rantanen, even if it usually provides in the clutch. Rantanen and MacKinnon are the first teammates to have 70 points apiece in time for the All-Star game since Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr over 20 years ago. And Landy leads the team in scoring with a career-high 29 goals. But they didn’t score Monday,
and when the top line doesn’t score, the Avs seldom receive goaltending that can carry the day. The Avs have scored just five goals in three games against the Preds. They’ve allowed 10. “I loved a lot of things about our game tonight,” Bednar said. “The first period was one of our best periods of the year,” he said. The Avs are sending their en-
tire top line to the NHL All-Star game on Saturday, the first time they’ve had three in the showcase since Joe Sakic, Rob Blake and Alex Tanguay in 2003-04. That’s pretty sweet. But if they don’t get better goaltending than what’s been advertised, they’ll need a lifeline for a return to the postseason. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Nikola Jokic makes NBA history after one-game suspension vs. 76ers By Mike Singer The Denver Post
One night before Nikola Jokic carved Philadelphia’s interior defense to shreds, he was at home watching on TV as his teammates pummeled the Phoenix Suns. Jokic, serving his controversial one-game suspension, watched alongside former teammate and current 76er forward Wilson Chandler. “He was in my house last night,” Jokic said. “We were watching the game together.” On Saturday, it was Chandler who was forced to watch the game because of an injury and subsequently saw Jokic barrel through any 76er in his path en route to NBA history. Jokic became the first player in league history to record 32 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists in 34 minutes or less. “He came back and did what we expect Nikola to do,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after his star recorded his seventh triple-double of the season in the 126-110 win. Philadelphia started Ben Simmons on Jokic, then tried Corey Brewer and later Mike Muscala. No combination worked as the
76ers were helpless without allstar Joel Embiid in the paint. Jokic’s first quarter — 17 points on 12 shots, seven rebounds — was a master class on aggression. Jokic said he didn’t intend to take over the game the way he did, but his actions told a different story. “I kind of didn’t miss most of them, so I just continued to shoot,” Jokic said matter-of-factly. First he pounded the ball inside, and then he softened up the 76ers’ perimeter defense with a couple of 3-pointers. All the while he tipped and tapped his way to 18 rebounds, including six on the offensive glass. “I’m not athletic, but I have a quick second jump,” he said. For all of his wizardry, no play energized his teammates like the rare Jokic dunk. Gary Harris found Jokic on a smooth elbow screen for a two-handed jam that drew the entire bench up. “That was impressive,” Harris cracked. “I heard he cocked it back a little bit, too.” Jokic, talking about it his soaring athleticism, couldn’t help but rub it in in the postgame locker room as Mason Plumlee got dressed within earshot. “I think I actually jump a little
bit higher than him,” Jokic said. These nights — these historic nights — have become commonplace for the Nuggets center. His offensive outbursts have been prolific enough recently to mask their defensive deficiencies, which the Nuggets must shore up if they have designs on making a significant postseason run. Even as Jokic dominated a weakened 76ers frontcourt, Malone stood stoic on the sideline, clearly frustrated with defensive miscommunications in the first half. The Nuggets ultimately held Philadelphia to a solid 41 percent shooting from the field, but it wasn’t until the second half that their defense woke up. “Unfortunately for our team, I’m a perfectionist,” Malone said. “I’m never satisfied. We might do five great things in a row, but when we leave somebody wide open in transition for a dunk, that is like a boiling point for me. So I’m seeing a therapist about that. I’m trying to find my inner peace.” Murray’s ankle Jamal Murray prides himself on his ability to play through pain, so any query about his availability is usually met with a stiff, abrasive answer. Murray couldn’t play Saturday after rolling his ankle

against the Suns, and Malone said the team would give him “around the clock” treatment ahead of Monday’s game in Memphis. “I’m worried about it,” Malone said. “He’s been battling the ankle for a while now. Just when it was starting to feel really good, he rolls it once again. I saw it this after-
noon. It is really, really swollen.” On Saturday it meant Will Barton got the start at point guard and Torrey Craig slotted in at the small forward. Whether the Nuggets try a similar lineup against the Grizzlies remains to be seen. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Art & Science Exhibition currently accepting entries By Lauryn Bolz @laurynbolz
Since the times of Leonardo DaVinci, both art and science have gone hand in hand in creation, innovation and expression. The College of Liberal Arts and the College of Natural Sciences will be partnering to celebrate the intersection of these two schools of thought. Registration is now open for the 11th biennial Art & Science Exhibition, a showcase of science-inspired expressions that will be displayed at the Curf-
man Gallery in the Lory Student Center in late February. “There is such beauty and creativity in science,” said Lisa Dysleki, a Dean for the College of Natural Sciences. “Sometimes when we communicate about science we lose some of the expression of that beauty and creativity.” In past exhibitions, showcased entries have spanned a wide variety of mediums, such as painting, sculpture, photography, video and many more forms of unique and creative expression. As long as it relates
to the theme, there is no limit to what can or cannot be submitted. “There are images that are created on scanning electron microscopes, which are super zoomed in images of things like insects,” Dysleki said. “(Also) data scientists who are representing data in unique ways,. That can all be considered art.” Registration is open to anyone—students and staff—who have a creative interest in the subjects of art and science, whether they have experience in gallery showings or do not.

5 facts you should know about organic agriculture By Linc Thomas @LincThomas1
From small-town farmers’ markets to grocery stores alike, organic products are everywhere. People seem to love organic produce because they are grown ethically, they are generally better for the earth and they are healthier, right? Here are five things you should know about organic fruits and veggies. 1. “Organic” Labelling The Webster’s Dictionary definition of organic is “of, relating to, yielding, or involving the use of food produced with the use of feed or fertilizer of plant or animal origin without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics or pesticides.” According to the USDA regulations on organic products, every item labelled must adhere to the National Organic Program requirements and the location where the product originated must be inspected and certified yearly. 2. Organic farming practices are more sustainable. According to the USDA, the basis of organic agriculture is to “integrate cultural, biological and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance and conserve biodiversity.” In a nutshell, organic farming helps sustain the future of earth. Organic farmers utilize cover crops to hold down the soil. Then they rotate different crops on their field to prevent monocropping. Many organic farms are no-till, which means there is less erosion of soil and less runoff into streams and reservoirs.
“We have people submit from all across campus who have been doing art for a really long time, and people who have never done anything like this before,” Dysleki said. ”It’s an opportunity especially for people who have never thought they could do something like this.” The selected entries, which will be chosen by a jury of experienced artists and scientists, will be displayed from Feb. 26 to Mar. 26. A reception will take place on the opening night to celebrate the accomplishments
of the artists, and give the entrants an opportunity to connect over their shared passions. “During the opening, when all the scientists and artists are there hanging out, all of those labels fall away and you end up with a group of people that are interested in looking at things from different perspectives,” Dysleki said. Registration forms are due by Feb. 8. The online form can be found on the College of Natural Sciences’ website. Lauryn Bolz can be reach at entertainment@collegian.com.

3. Organic allows pesticides. One common misconception about organic produce is that it’s better simply because no pesticides touched the food.
USDA-APPROVED PESTICIDES FOR ORGANIC CROPS ■ Rotenone ■ Hydrogen peroxide ■ Calcium polysulfide ■ Spinosad
All the pesticides allowed for organic production are non-synthetic, meaning everything used was found naturally. Because there are no synthetic pesticides applied to organic produce, organic producers are exempt from tolerance levels and regulations. The EPA sets limits on the amount of synthetic pesticides allowed on a given crop. Since the pesticides are non-synthetic, the EPA does not regulate amounts applied, frequency applied or residue.
4. Organic costs. A lot. A Washington Post article from 2016 revealed organic farming to be exponentially more profitable than conventional farming. Conventional corn brought in $139 per bushel, whereas organic corn was $367 per bushel. While a portion of that profitability can be attributed to the savings on pesticides, herbicides and soil amendments, organic does come with a price. To certify a farm as organic, a farmer must purchase a $750 certification fee in its first year. Organic farmers are also expected to pay annual re-certification fees that can be upwards of $575 according to the USDA. 5. Organic produce isn’t healthier because it’s more expensive. The premium price of organic produce entices consumers to believe it is healthier than conventional produce. A 2012 Stanford Medical study showed that organic produce contained 30% lower pesticide residue than conventional produce, yet the conventional produce was still within boundaries of EPA regulations.

Tarana Burke delivers #MeToo PSAs spotlighting sexual violence survivors By Ashley Lee Los Angeles Times
While the #MeToo movement has shed light on the ubiquity of sexual harassment, assault and rape, a majority of that spotlight has centered on the assailants: their horrific crimes, numerous cover-ups, eventual oustings and, sometimes, professional resilience. A new set of powerful public service announcements rejects that status quo by bleeping out the name of a well-known perpetrator. Instead, the videos — from creative agency Deutsch and #MeToo movement creator Tarana Burke — focus on the dignity, humanity and healing of survivors of sexual violence. The clips — which debuted online Monday after a private screening at the Sundance Film Festival — feature firsthand accounts and reflections from survivors, including Terry Crews. “In the year that’s gone by, I’ve learned that silence is violence,” says the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star in the video. “I will not be shamed. I did nothing wrong.” Additionally, Emily Waters, Daniela Contreras and an anonymous survivor break their silence in the PSAs, which pair raw audio of their stories with animated illustrations and text. “It was very important to focus on the types of stories that are generally less represented in the media,” explained Kelsey Hodgkin, Deutsch Los Angeles’ head of strategy. Indeed,
the PSAs include testimonies from African American men, an undocumented worker and a survivor of intimate partner violence. Burke hopes these videos help redirect the #MeToo conversation — and coverage — to center on the survivors instead of the predators. She spoke to The Times about creating the movement’s first PSA campaign and spurring others toward everyday action. Q: Why make these PSAs? A: In the year and a half since #MeToo has been in this international spotlight, the popular narrative has been so focused on perpetrators and policy, and we haven’t seen enough conversation about the millions and millions of people who have actually said, “Me too.” And what has become painfully clear is that the world doesn’t really understand the life cycle of a survivor. The PSA is a great way to help people get rid of any preconceived notions and understand what survivors are actually feeling and thinking. And the people who volunteered to be part of this PSA are putting their stories out in the world very bravely, but they’re also helping us to shift the narrative. Q: Of the four survivors highlighted, one is a celebrity and another is anonymous. How did you choose these participants? A: We definitely wanted to have a spectrum of people. #MeToo isn’t necessarily
a women’s movement; there just hasn’t been enough attention paid to men who deal with sexual harassment and sexual abuse. It really is a movement for all survivors, however they identify. We also wanted to highlight young people and immigrants. Sexual violence has nothing to do with celebrity status, and it’s important for everyday people to hear other everyday people talking about their survival. However, I also think it’s important for us to not trivialize the experiences of people in Hollywood, as if they haven’t survived sexual violence. Even if you’re a celebrity, you also should be seen and heard and believed. Q: What’s the best way non-survivors can support the #MeToo movement? A: Empower survivors by empathizing with them. Try to understand what this life is like; try to put yourself in this place where you have this experience. I know sometimes people are like, “I want to do something more, I want to go out and volunteer, I want to write a check.” That’s great, but it’s important that people have empathy for survivors, because these are the people who will be jurors on trials, who will influence public opinion about policy. We have to make sure that those people really understand what it is we hold with us. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

On Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2017, Time magazine named the #MeToo movement or the “Silence Breakers” as the “Person of the Year,” a nod to the millions of people who came forward with their stories of sexual harassment, assault and rape.

‘Drunk History’ puts a unique spin on the 1919 Black Sox scandal By Tracy Swartz Chicago Tribune

Chicago baseball takes a big hit on Tuesday’s episode of “Drunk History.” On the Comedy Central series, celebrities narrate noteworthy historic events after they’ve consumed alcohol. Tuesday’s episode, which is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. Central, explores the 1919 Black Sox scandal ; the legacy of Moses Fleetwood Walker, one of the first black baseball players in the major leagues; and the real-life story that inspired the 1992 movie “A League of Their Own.” ESPN’s Katie Nolan narrates the Black Sox scandal vignette. In real life, some White Sox players were accused of taking money to throw the 1919 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. The eight players impli-
cated in the plot were acquitted by a jury, but banned from playing professional baseball. “New Girl” alum Jake Johnson, who grew up in Winnetka and Evanston, plays first baseman Arnold “Chick” Gandil, the reputed leader of the conspiracy. Charles Comiskey, the Sox owner at the time, is not portrayed favorably on the show. Nolan calls the notorious penny-pincher a “piece of (expletive). He’s making a bunch of money. He doesn’t even pay for (the players’) laundering of their uniforms.” Comedian Carl Tart narrates the Walker segment, which also has a Chicago tie. Walker was catcher for the Toledo Blue Stockings. Chicago White Stockings manager Cap Anson initially refused to take the field in an 1883 exhibition game against the Blue Stockings with Walker in the lineup.
Comedian and voice actress Anais Fairweather narrates the “League of Their Own” story. “13 Reasons Why” actor Steven Weber plays former Cubs owner Philip K. Wrigley, who founded the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which later inspired “A League of Their Own.” This is not the first time “Drunk History” has tackled Chicago baseball. A 2016 episode recalled the 1979 Disco Demolition promotion that went awry at Comiskey Park. A 2013 “Drunk History” episode was devoted entirely to Chicago, with re-enactments featuring Abraham Lincoln, Al Capone and Haymarket riot protesters. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Carl’s Jr. introduces the Beyond Meat Burger for grease-craving vegetarians By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad
Approaching the Lory Student Center food court for fuel between classes can be a complex endeavor for a vegetarian. Sure, you could eat a salad for every meal, but some days eating like a rabbit just does not hit the spot. But thankfully, due to the increasing trendiness of a plant-based diet, restaurants are starting to provide people with more diverse options. Carl’s Jr. has joined this trend with the addition of the Beyond Burger to their menu earlier this month, which students can find at the Lory Student Center location. The Beyond Burger is a plant-based burger designed to look, taste and cook like beef. The burger is free of soy, gluten and genetically modified organisms and includes 20 grams of protein.
THE BEYOND MEAT BURGER Offered at: ■ Carl’s Jr. Lory Student Location All hype aside, Colorado State University vegetarians must now decide if the taste and convenience of this burger are worth the purchase. After trying the burger myself, I’ve determined that justifying this meal is up to what is inside your wallet and whether or not you have time to nap afterward. In order to truly enjoy my order, I had to come to terms with the fact that I paid a whole

$9 for a fast-food item. Once I found my inner peace, I was able to take my first bite, which turned out to be pretty decadent. As someone who has been a vegetarian my whole life, meat substitutes that try to imitate meat have been way better than when restaurants just replace a burger patty with a mushroom. The Beyond Burger is exactly how I imagine meat would be: it’s tender, savory and covered in all the good fixings on a sesame seed bun that will make you feel like you are finally taking part in the true American tradition of clogging your arteries. The grease factor of this meal is something vegetarians should ease themselves into. Though most vegetarians probably eat more fries than the average heavyweight wrestler, people should not take this meal lightly. I can eat four to five Taco Bell
burritos in one sitting, and the Beyond Burger knocked me out halfway through. I would recommend ordering this burger on a day when your stomach is feeling strong and equipped. Not taking these steps into consideration, I learned, can be paralyzing. I must extend gratitude to the Carl’s Jr. team for expanding their menu to offer a fast-food option for vegetarians outside the regular variety of lettuce. The steep pricing, however reasonable, leads me to view this meal as an exceptionally occasional option. Although, if what you are really going for is a solid food coma, feel free to knock yourself out with a Beyond Meat Burger. Miranda Moses can be found at entertainment@collegian.com.
