CSU partners with local businesses for new microbrewery By Nate Day @NateMDay

It was serendipitous that Associate Director of fermentation sciences Jeff Callaway and his colleagues were able to build an oncampus microbrewery that will open this summer. After the Lory Student Center renovation was completed in late 2014, Colorado State University had to decide what to do with

the space in the Ramskellar that was formerly dedicated to a window facing the mountains. They were looking for something that would please both students and alumni, and several different ideas were bounced around. Eventually, it was decided that the space would go to the fermentation science and technology department for the development of a microbrewery. According to Callaway, the

brewery, which will officially open in the coming months, will serve as a place for students to receive “experiential learning,” whereas the program’s other location in Gifford will serve more as a place for them to learn the skills they need to operate practically. “It’ll be all custom brews,” Callaway said. “Eventually, we’d like to work with departments across campus to make brews with them as

well.” Scholars in the fermentation science and technology department which consists of only about 125 students - will develop their recipes and brewing methods in the Gifford facility, before producing their products at the microbrewery and selling them through the Ramskellar, CSU’s on-campus bar located in the lower level of the LSC. While the brewery isn’t

quite in operation, Callaway said that they’re hoping to start brewing as soon as possible, most likely this summer. Meanwhile, they’ve been tossing around ideas for what the first beer they brew will be. The brewery cost an estimated $1.5 million to build, but Callaway estimated

City Council passes appropriation for Poudre River Project By Matt Bailey @mattnes1999

Fort Collins city councilmembers reviewed a total of 13 consent items and three discussion items during last night’s city council meeting, but the discussion of the Poudre River Whitewater Park Project was the biggest item discussed during the meeting. “It’s a privilege to meet with you again and speak with you about the Whitewater Park,” said Kurt Friesen, director of Park Planning and Development for the City of Fort Collins. “Tonight, we are requesting appropriation of approximately $1.5 million for the park project.” During the meeting, Friesen delivered a 10 minute presentation discussing the project in more detail and providing more information about the project’s budget. As of now, the Poudre River Whitewater Park Project has about $9.2 million available in funding, Friesen said. Approximately $4.2 million, the bulk of the funding, comes from the Community Capital Improvement Project, with about $1 million coming from the natural areas, stormwater and fundraising sources each.

“Project design and permitting are nearing completion right now,” Friesen said. “We’re ready to move into the implementation phase very soon. Our goal is to begin construction this summer, and if all goes well, we’ll have the project complete by the summer of 2019.” The Poudre River Whitewater Park Project will be located directly north of downtown Fort Collins, bordered by College Avenue to the west, Vine Drive to the north and the railroad to the east. The park will include wave features, a pedestrian bridge, river access, terrace stone sitting areas, walkways, a shoreline and an overlook. Although several city councilmembers expressed support for the project, there were a few concerns amongst councilmembers as well. Councilmember Gerry Horak initially dismissed concerns of the Poudre River Whitewater Park Project diminishing the natural quality of the area, and said the area where the park will be is currently not in a natural state, and, if anything, the project will return the natural quality. The biggest concern of all councilmembers was the absence of restrooms from the

project plans. “If we’re going to spend this much money, not to include restrooms doesn’t make any sense,” Horak said. “I’m very supportive of the project. It’s going to be, I believe, one of the unique things Fort Collins has and it’ll be a magnet for folks to go to, I think it’s going to be a huge success, but I sure would like to have a bathroom.” Mayor Wade Troxell also spoke about his concerns over the lack of a restroom at the

park, but also spoke about how the park can have a positive impact on the Poudre River and the Fort Collins area. “This is a significant effort as part of the overall health of the Poudre River, Troxell said. “I look at this particular project as enhancing our community and, more broadly, peoples’ understanding and appreciation of the Poudre River.” The motion to appropriate $1.5 million in funds from

the General Fund and the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority Fund into the Capital Project Fund for the Poudre River Whitewater Park Project, as well as the appropriation of funds from the Capital Project Funds into other programs and funds, was passed with the support of every councilmember except Councilmember Ross Cunniff.

Senator Kefalas to host public discussion on state legislature By Audrey Weiss @audkward

State Sen. John Kefalas will be hosting a non-partisan Community Conversation on April 21 at the Momo Lolo Coffee House in Fort Collins. The event will run between 9-10:30 a.m. Kefalas said he enjoys bringing legislative discussion to the public and tries to do just that with his Community Conversations. Kefalas stated he usually hosts conversations once per month that are open to the public and free of charge. His selected location is accessible to persons with disabilities. Kefalas also said this is an important event for the public due to the upcoming end of the legislative session. “We will engage in meaningful conversations about topics of interest and the upcoming 2018 legislative session,” according to Kefalas’ website calendar. Kefalas said he plans on discussing Senate Bill 200,

which applies directly to school teachers and state classified employees. This bill concerns changes to the public employees’ retirement association, which prevents unfunded liability specific to state employees, whether that be through school districts or governmental and public entities. In addition, Kefalas said he is “fully prepared” to discuss the state budget of $29.9 billion, $10.9 billion of which comes from taxpayers dollars, and the rest of which is funded by federal dollars, general funds and cash funds. Kefalas stressed that he is open to any discussion the public so chooses. “It’s really (about) what people want me to talk about,” Kefalas said. “Whether that be issues related to budget, PERA reform or anything else.” Kefalas said he prefers these conversations be informal and are typically smaller groups. He said he hopes for Colorado State University

High winds causes tree to break on campus By Daniela Navarro @thedanielazahra

A tree between the Morgan Library and the Willard O. Eddy Building broke halfway down the middle, hitting a student at around 3 p.m. Tuesday. CSUPD was later contacted by the student who was hit, but she denied an ambulance, telling them she would walk to the CSU Health Network later that day. According to CSUPD, when they arrived on scene there were no witnesses or victims. Facilities Management did not report any other fallen trees, but stated that accidents like this one occur every so often. “This is normal, and we are used to it, especially in the spring,” a CSU Tree Management worker said. According to sciencemag.org,

all trees, whether big, small, tall or short, break at 94 mph. However, the fact that it snapped from the top rather than uprooting was unusual. This was due to high winds. Last year, during a spring snow storm, CSU closed due to the heavy snow that was breaking tree branches making it unsafe for students, but entire trees snapping is rare. “Colorado weather is unpredictable and there are weather advisories related to various conditions throughout the year, which generally do not prompt the university to issue an additional warning communication,” Dell Rae Ciaravola, CSU Public Relations senior communications coordinator, wrote.

According to Kefalas, these changes are especially relevant to people seeking an education. “Yesterday, hundreds of school teachers came to the capitol,” Kefalas said. “It was pretty amazing to watch, teachers are expressing their voices.” Kefalas said he would like to see the same motivation in college students and that the teachers were a great example of what students ought to be doing. Kefalas is currently serving his first year of his second term as senator of District 14 in Colorado. He served as a state representative for five years prior, according to his website. His focal issues include the Climate Action Plan, human trafficking prevention, employment opportunities for disabled persons and creating jobs for the improvement of the Colorado economy.

FBI agent pleads guilty to leaking classified documents By Joseph Tanfani

Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – A former FBI agent in Minneapolis who says he was angry about racial targeting by the agency has pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents to a news organization. Terry Albury, 39, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two charges of revealing national defense information and, under sentencing guidelines, is expected to serve three or four years in prison. “Today, Terry Albury admitted to violating his oath to protect our country by disclosing to a reporter classified information that, as an FBI agent, he was entrusted to protect,” said Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers. Albury, who did a stint working for the FBI in Iraq, had a top secret clearance for his assignment as a liaison with Customs and Border Protection at the MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport. Beginning in 2016, he

began to take records, cutting and pasting some documents to avoid detection and, for others, taking pictures of his computer screen. The date on one document listed in the charges matches one published by The Intercept, a news website, as part of a series on FBI practices. According to a search warrant obtained by Minnesota Public Radio, the FBI began an investigation after journalists submitted two FOIA requests that listed 27 documents, including 16 that had been classified secret. The bureau reviewed internal records and found that Albury had accessed two-thirds of them. Last August, Attorney General Jeff Sessions promised a crackdown on leakers, saying law enforcement had tripled the number of investigations. In June, a woman working for a government contracting firm in Georgia, Reality Leigh Winner, was charged with leaking a secret document about Russian hacking, also to The Intercept. That case is still

pending. After Albury was charged, the site’s editor in chief, Betsy Reed, said the organization does not discuss its anonymous sources, but said the government targeting of people trying to expose wrongdoing was “an outrage.” In a statement, Albury’s lawyers, JaneAnne Murray and Joshua Dratel, said he was a whistleblower who was trying to expose wrongdoing in the agency. They said he did not reveal any sources or information about specific operations. Albury, the only AfricanAmerican agent in the Minneapolis field office, became disturbed at FBI directives to develop sources, believing that the methods “profiled and intimidated” minority communities, the statement said. “His conduct in this case was an act of conscience,” the lawyers said.

Postponing the Black Lives Matter Rally was the right decision Jayla Hodge @Jaylahodge

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. The Black Lives Matter Solidarity Rally that was supposed to take place on April 9 was postponed until further notice, and that is a good thing. The description of the event stated that the rally will be “a peaceful rally to raise our voices for justice in the deaths of unarmed Black bodies. We are rallying in solidarity with Black communities who are experiencing systemic violence and racial profiling across the country … Join us as we speak up for justice.” The death of Stephon Clark, a Sacramento African American man who was shot eight times in his backyard by police officers after the cell phone he was holding was mistaken for a gun, was the catalyst for the event. According to the event’s Facebook page, the reasoning for postponing the event was that, “in the process of planning this event, we were asked by key leaders of color

in the community to carefully consider its goals in relation to racial justice. They pointed out that the focus on the national tragedy of Stephon Clark’s death might support the misconception that racist violence does not happen right here in Fort Collins on a daily basis, when in fact it does. A sub-group of our organizers will now re-start the event planning to include the concerns of our community members.” The leaders of color in our community are correct in their assessments of the event. The postponement of the rally is a good thing; in it’s original context, the rally actually was detrimental to the overall movement. We need to start being more proactive in the Fort Collins community first. There is a perception that Fort Collins is a great place to live for everyone, and by focusing a Black Lives Matter rally around an incident that occurred so far away and in an area that is so demographically different helps uphold the perception that “these kinds of things aren’t happening here.” This supports the idea that Fort Collins is less racist or problematic than other places. This is false. If Fort Collins wants to demonstrate allyship, members in this community are not limited to reacting only

when people are subjected to violence very visibly and publicly. Moments of national crisis do not need to be the catalyst. Racism is flexible and adaptable and shows up in several different forms. Racism is when Black people are turned away from entering the Rec Room due to racial profiling or the more subtle, but equally detrimental, daily slights, microaggressions, and use of racial slurs. Bridgette Johnson, the Director of CSU’s Black/ African American Culture Center, responded in a Facebook post on the rally’s page, “It seems easier for people to show up at a march/rally, and not know what is happening here. I don’t want us to think we are far removed from acts of hate against people who have been and continue to be marginalized right here in our backyard on a daily basis.” The intention behind the event is not to be discredited. It’s important that we recognize issues like police brutality and injustice in our nation. It’s good to stand in solidarity with Stephon Clark and Black Lives Matter for justice and equality but there must be a real impact behind our actions. “I don’t want us to use the situations that happen across the world that support this is ‘them not us’ idea, but an opportunity to stand in

solidarity when injustice occurs, while acknowledging what is happening here, throughout Fort Collins. We want to bring awareness to our own stuff to avoid further hurt and harm,” Johnson said in-person. Another criticism of the event is in the haste to put the rally on, it neglected to inform the public and include actual members of the Black and African American community in planning of the event. “Continuously and consistently these events are done without our knowledge and our input, they are made for us without being tailored to us,” said Isaiah Martin, CSU student activist and leader. “Fort Collins has a de-facto racism problem; it is not large displays but systemic and a part of the daily attitudes shown by people. They don’t necessarily uphold white supremacy on purpose but this is a community that is definitely doing that in a number of different ways.” This is a critical flaw. With Fort Collins having small communities of color, this event would be predominately a show of white allyship. Antiracism and social justice is a movement for all people, not only liberals, marginalized identities or people of color. It is for everyone, whether they are conservative, progressive, rich, poor, Black, brown or white,

but it is important that we are including leaders and voices of color in planning events like this. The rally lacked a local community aspect. While we may be a small population, there are marginalized students of color on this campus and people in this community who are suffering. This year the Fort Collins community and CSU have seen a rise in hate crimes and bias motivated incidents. This rise is happening all over the country, but these behaviors and bias motivated incidents are not new: they are just happening more publicly this year. This is not the same as the false victimization some people with conservative views have when they claim marginalized status. It is the microaggressions and actions that are causing Black and brown people to be socially barred from opportunities and, more extremely, costing them their lives. The organizers of the event need to refocus and make the rally more intentional in the future. Johnson sums it up perfectly. “Fort Collins needs to wake up and admit where we fall short. Hate is real here,from the police and from the average person walking down the street. Jayla Hodge can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Dirty Talk discusses heteronormativity, the patriarchies and you? By Tatiana ParafiniukTalesnick & Chapman Croskell @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. This week your favs (or least favs… or maybe two commentators who you don’t know or don’t care about) are talking heteronormativity. What is heteronormativity you ask? According to our favorite spunky teens, Teen Vogue, (the power rangers are a close second) “it’s the idea that binary gender identity and heterosexual orientation (meaning, there are only two sexual orientations and genders) are the norm.” The problem with heteronormativity is that it hurts people. The assumption that all people are straight is plain wrong. We’re not going to

source this claim, watch Glee or Will & Grace or Queer Eye, queer people are out here. Beyond making people who have existed for the entire history of humanity explain themselves, heteronormativity sets up gender to be a binary. So, if you subscribe to the idea that there are only two genders, you’re probably wondering what the problem is. If your political framework is outside the heteronormative paradigm, then you’re probably annoyed with how slowly this article is moving ( ¯\_( )_/¯ sorry). Profound and witty T-shirts that proclaim “there are only two genders” have been a popular fashion staple among hip, young provocateurs. We don’t claim to be geniuses, these shirts could be a display of cutting-age commentary, and we just missed it. But we think the phrase proliferated from a place of ignorance, and then an odd thing happened where the

ignorance was celebrated… and literally printed on a shirt?? According to the American Psychological Association, an estimate 1 in ever 1,500 babies is born with genitals that cannot easily be classified as male or female. This number is debated among experts – it’s hard to define exactly what qualifies intersex and many government agencies do not collect statistics about intersex individuals. Intersex is generally understood as atypical physical sex characteristics. This can mean external genitals that can’t be classified as male or female, incomplete development of the internal reproductive organs or abnormalities of the sex chromosomes, to name a few. So it would appear that there are not two genders, but heteronormativity puts pressure on parents and doctors to force intersex babies to fit into a gender binary via early genital surgeries, and this can have serious

consequences. One study suggests forty seven percent of intersex people grow to be dissatisfied with the function of their genitals after surgery and thirty seven percent reported dissatisfaction with overall sex life. A 2013 reportby the United Nation’s Special Rapporteur on Torture called on the world’s nations to outlaw “genital normalizing” surgeries on intersex individuals. This is so important to understand as it challenges assumptions of what is “natural.” When it comes to sexuality, what’s “natural” looks to be variation. When it comes to gender, what’s “natural” looks looks to be variation. And what in the heck does this have to do with you? Expectations based on arbitrary values attributed to arbitrary binaries can affect your relationships with your friends, family, lovers and yourself. Listen to this week’s show:

A.J. Stewart overcomes adversity for CSU lacrosse By Junior Guerrero @juniorg45

There is no question that Colorado State club lacrosse senior midfielder AJ Stewart has been through a lot during his time in Fort Collins. He’s faced tough obstacles and many bumps in the road, but one thing remained the same - he is the ultimate competitor. During his freshman season, Stewart tore his ACL during the 11th game of the season. He missed the rest of the year with this injury, but he was poised to make a comeback onto the field. With a lot of hard work and dedication, Stewart made a return back to the field his sophomore season. He and the team were doing very well until he suffered another setback. Stewart tore his ACL in his other knee during the final few games of the season. This was hard on Stewart because of all the hard work he put in to recover from his last injury. “I was devastated and honestly couldn’t believe it happened,” Stewart said. “It’s difficult when you put in the hard work and that happens.” Stewart decided to redshirt his junior season. This allowed him to recover fully from his

injury while keeping his two years of eligibility. As his senior year began, Stewart was back on the field and ready to go. He was determined to get through the entire season without an injury. Unfortunately, another set back occured during the 16th game of his senior season. Stewart tore his meniscus and five tendons in his right arm and missed the remainder of the season. “I never thought about quitting. I had a lot of motivation to come back and do what makes me happy,” Stewart said. As this season started, Stewart was ready to play the best that he could to help the team while being healthy for an entire season. So far, so good. Stewart is currently having the best season he’s ever had, doing all he can to help the team win, something that is evident during the last three games. During the three-game span, Stewart recorded nine goals, including two hat tricks. He played red hot and it seemed as if everything he shot was going in. “I am expected to help and lead the team and that is more important to me than scoring those goals,” Stewart said. This not only shows how good of a player he is, but how good

of a teammate he is. He doesn’t care how many goals he scores or assists he has. He will do anything his team needs him to in order to try and win the game. With only a few games left in his final season, Stewart is hoping for a strong finish from himself and his teammates as well. “There are still three huge games left,” Stewart said. “Although some people might think we are out of the tournament, we can win these three games.” Stewart has had a lot of support throughout his time here at CSU. Whether on the field or during his injuries, his family, teammates and coaches were always there for him. One person in particular that always pushed Stewart and showed him the ropes was his former teammate Ashton Monheiser. Monheiser played midfield for the Rams and graduated last year. He played four years and was known for being a great goal-scorer and a leader of the team. Stewart gives a lot of credit to Monheiser for helping him become the player that he is today. “Ashton was a great athlete. I got to know his tendencies and I got to learn from him every single game,” Stewart said. “He was also

a greater shooter and goal scorer. Seeing him get to 50 or 60 goals in his career was pretty cool. Finishing outside and close to the net were things that I learned from him detail wise.” Monheiser believes that Stewart is a great player and also believes that they have some similarities as well. “I’ve always seen AJ as an amazing player and always had the utmost trust in him. I think we had a lot of similarities. We both play our hearts out, read offenses well, and find ways to get the ball in the back of the net,”

Monheiser said. “He’s played absolutely lights out. Definitely a top leader that we have on the team. To have the mentality he has after major surgeries is a huge piece. Many players are never the same after knee injuries and he has come back stronger twice.” With just one game remaining in the regular season, Stewart aims to continue his successful season on Saturday, April 21 against Colorado in Boulder.

Swing Music: CSU baseball explains walk-up song selections By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio

Walk-up music has become as synonymous with a baseball player as their jersey number. Some players use it to get hyped, some for personal reasons and others for no reason at all. The CSU club baseball team is in the midst of an 11-game winning streak. During that span, the Rams are averaging slightly over 13 runs a game, and walk-up music may be the reason behind the hitting success as of late. Some players share their reasoning and meaning behind their walk-up songs. Outfielder, Brandon DeLay: “Hell & Back” - Kid Ink DeLay is one of CSU’s best offensive weapons, and Kid Ink’s anthem has followed DeLay since high school. “I’ve had that walk-up song since my junior year of high school,” DeLay said. “I just like it, and it works for me.” DeLay leads the Rams with 21 runs and 75 at-bats this season. Just like Kid Ink’s lyrics,

“When the heat is on, I fire back,” DeLay thrives under the clutch. He hit two walk-offs in the Colorado Mesa series a few weeks ago to help put the Rams atop the Mid-America West Conference and potentially save their season. Pitcher, Daniel Terao: “HUMBLE.” Kendrick Lamar Terao uses walk-up music a bit differently than most. As a pitcher, he often hears his song before he steps on the mound. “When I come into pitch, I need something that gets me hyped,” he said. “That song is what gets me going, just gets that adrenaline flowing.” The sophomore pitcher has a 5-0 record in 23 innings pitched. He credits Kendrick Lamar for helping him get into that “go hard” mindset. Outfielder, Jace Evans: “Can’t Stop” - Red Hot Chili Peppers Last year, Evans made the bold decision to go with “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga. This season, he made a complete 360-degree turn. He chose a song that fit best with his classic rock music style. “It’s got a good intro,” he

said. “I’m a classic guy…it pumps me up a little bit.” Evans hit a pair of singles on April 15 versus the University of Northern Colorado after the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ song played. Second baseman, Ryker McDaniel: “Pull the Trigger” - Russ McDaniel went with a more modern-day song that fits his personality. “It keeps me relaxed, like don’t try to do too much,” he said. “Just react and pull the trigger.” The Rams have been pulling the trigger as of late, pouring in a total of 49 runs in the UNC series this past weekend. McDaniel had one single and was walked in game three of the series. Outfielder, Casey Campbell: “Kick it in the Sticks” - Brantley Gilbert Campbell’s goofiness and country attitude led to him go with artist Brantley Gilbert. “I chose ‘Kick it in the Sticks’ because I’m a honkey,” he said.

and he already has his walk-up song picked out. “I should have done ‘Cotton Eye Joe,’” he said with regret. “Next season.” Outfielder/pitcher, Jared Van Vark: “A Milli” - Lil’ Wayne Van Vark has been a fan of Lil’ Wayne since he was younger, and that led him to choose “A Milli.”

“It was a song I used to really like when I was younger,” he said. “It still gets me hyped so I decided to go with it this year.” The pitcher and outfielder boasts a 3.07 ERA and leads the team in RBIs, so maybe Lil’ Wayne is the key to success after all.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

228 S COLLEGE AVE

STYLEOVERVIEW store, and so much more!

TEAGAN SMITH t’s time for Spring cleaning, and that means you should probably take a look at your closet. Every season comes with new trends, but unfortunately, I think everyone can agree that college is a very expensive time to love fashion. This week, we’re sharing our inside scoop on how to strut on campus in style, while still saving most of the money in your pocket.

For those of you who like the high-class style, yes this is still possible. Use your detective work from searching online for that hottie in your class, and put it towards finding those Ralph Lauren or Champion sweaters at your local thrift stores. Don’t like the idea of wearing someone else’s old clothes? Then head on over to Ragstock and check out their affordable and stylish clothes! We love reppin’ what they’ve got to offer! Fort Collins doesn’t have a ton of thrift stores, but you don’t need a lot to find what you’re looking for. Plato’s Closet is hottest used clothing store in town. Arc Thrift Stores and Goodwill might have seemed like a boring place when you were younger, but in college, those are a gold mine. If you’re feeling a little extra, then try taking a day trip to Boulder and check out Buffalo Exchange, Plato’s Closet, Shop Common Threads Boulder, and other excellent stores. I know, I know, go CSU! But Boulder has some of the best thrift shopping. I’ve found Louboutin heels, Coach bags and purses, Gucci belts, a whole section of Free People at each

SO HOT Turtlenecks

So, how exactly does one “thrift shop”? Well, Macklemore… Thrift shopping is as simple as taking in the clothes that you haven’t worn in a while and selling them to stores such like Plato’s Closet, Buffalo Exchange, and more. Arc Thrift Stores and Goodwill won’t let you sell your clothes, but what you can’t sell, I would donate to those centers. Help out those who have less money than college students! Two weeks ago I took some heels that, let’s be honest I’m not going to wear because that’s a lot of effort, and a basket of clothes that didn’t fit or I haven’t worn in the past year and a half, to Plato’s Closet. Guess how much money I got for it? $206.00. Oh, yeah! The best part is that if you want to buy some of their clothes, then you can sell and then earn even more money in store credit! After looking through my clothes, I got partial credit to purchase two Free People items, and the clothes they didn’t buy from me I took to Goodwill. Now, I’m not saying you’re going to get that much money. They call me the Thrift Shopping Queen. But if you sell some clothes, shoes, purses and more that are in decent condition, then you’ve got a good chance of earning some cash and upping your style this season! Take this weekend to go through your closet, and spice up your wardrobe for this Spring and Summer!

TENNIS

Erica Medlin breaks the glass ceiling in CSU coaching staff By Michelle Gould @michellegould

Female coaches are hard to come by, especially at a Division I level. Paid female coaches at a Division I level are even more rare. In a male-dominated career field, Erica Medlin has broken down barriers and currently sits as the first female to be hired as a coach for the women’s tennis team at Colorado State University. She is a full-time, paid assistant coach for a Rams team in the midst of its best season in over a decade. A love for the sport and a family tradition to uphold prompted Medlin to begin her tennis journey. Born in Hawaii and raised in Arizona, Medlin adapted to new surroundings quickly, relying on tennis as a backbone in her development as a young woman. At the age of 8, Medlin decided to dedicate more time and effort into tennis. A drive to play at the collegiate level pushed Medlin to devote more time into practice, propelling her through high school athletics. “I knew that I wasn’t good enough to be a pro, so the next step was college,” Medlin said. “I wanted to go get a degree and be a part of a team.” Medlin’s grit and work ethic

led to her success as a collegiate player, with the inner workings of becoming a coach steadily accumulating. Medlin played tennis for two years at San Jose State University then transferred to Northern Iowa for her last two years of eligibility. To top off her tennis career, Medlin was name Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year as a senior in 2015. Her experience, however, was not as glamorous as she expected. “It was definitely a learning experience. I wouldn’t say I had the typical dream of what you expect in college athletics,” Medlin said. “I went through five coaches and I was a transfer, but I learned a lot about myself and I competed my butt off. I reached some goals I never thought possible and I got to do all of that playing a sport I love and grew up with.” An abundance of coaches and change in scenery once again forced Medlin to rely on the backbone of her first love while simultaneously sparking more interest in taking on the role of a leader. A passion for a new turn of leadership ignited the journey she seemed destined to embark on. Upon graduating, Medlin followed her instincts and continued along a path that had

been familiar her whole life. “I knew I still liked tennis and I knew I wanted to do something where I could be active,” Medlin said. Despite fears of confidence in the field and a questionable ability to surpass male counterparts, Medline dove head first into a graduate assistant position at Northern Arizona University while receiving her second degree. Working up the ranks of coaching is difficult for a man, and can seem impossible for a woman. With a slowly evolving society in the coaching community, females must perfect their coaching craft over many years in order to be considered as a hire over a plethora of male candidates. Medlin’s fearlessness in her pursuit to the top sparked interest in the tennis coaching world. After only a year as a graduate assistant at NAU, CSU head coach Jarod Camerota turned to Medlin over male prospects as a full-time assistant coach in the summer of 2016. Medlin’s hire labeled her as CSU’s second-ever fulltime assistant coach, another momentous victory for females in the athletic community. During her first year as a coach, Medlin assisted leading the

Rams to nine spring victories, the team’s most victories since 2011. “A big setback for myself was the confidence of being in more a leadership position and becoming a role model,” Medlin said. “It is a male-dominated field and so being able to have the backbone to stand up to some of the male-dominated areas is awesome, and just letting them know that I can be just as much of a role model too.” Being a trailblazer in the coaching community comes with responsibility, but ultimately proves to be rewarding. “It is a very inspiring job because I can help young women like myself in college,” Medlin added. “It’s a big deal that they

are starting to bring on more paid female coaches.” This season, Medlin has helped coach the Rams to 10 spring victories. With two more matches in the regular season, the Rams can achieve their best record since the 2004-05 season. With continued success and domination by female coaches, one can hope to see a change in the next years for more females to take on leadership roles in athletics. The door is wide open for those courageous enough like Medlin to take these big steps for women everywhere. Michelle Gould can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Africa Center to open exhibit celebrating African art By Isabelle Rayburn @Seiss_Diosaa

Art and beer don’t usually go together. The African & Ale exhibit, which celebrates community and African art with some breweries added, is coming to the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art on April 25 , 4-6 p.m. Sponsored by Colorado State University’s Africa Center, the exhibit will feature four breweries that have created African-inspired brews along with African-themed posters created by art students. These posters will also be displayed and sold in a silent auction during the event. The exhibit is the Africa Center’s year-end celebration. Their goal is to bring together CSU and community members to celebrate their work and African culture.

Range organizations, faculty and students who work in Africa or have an interest in Africa, said Renee Harmon, an organizer of the event. This event is a celebration meant to bring everyone together and celebrate. “It is a collaborative event that brings together the CSU art and art history department faculty and students, CSU researchers and, of course, local breweries,” Harmon said. There will also be a Marimba group from Fort Collins performing at the event. Isabelle Rayburn can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

By: Zachary Zimmerman Fort Collins is where the arts meet passion. We are the heart of craft beer and a foodie’s dream come true. We were in to food truck rodeos before they were cool. We even have a bike parade to celebrate great beer! Despite the obvious love of culture and celebration, many believe there is no music scene in Fort Collins. FoCoMX is here to prove that myth wrong. For its 10th anniversary, FoCoMX will showcase over 300 local bands across more than 30 venues on April 27th and 28th. This festival, sponsored by the Fort Collins Musicians Association and Odell Brewing Company, is the best way to experience all the Fort Collins music scene has to offer.

SLOW CAVES

The venues include some of Fort WRITE MINDED Collins’ signature hang outs, such as Aggie Theatre, Avogadro’s Number and Hodi’s Half Note, along with new additions to Fort Collins Music scene, such as The Downtown Artery and Scrumpy’s. Best of all, FoCoMX kicks off on the Colorado State University campus on Thursday, April 19th from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the RamSkeller. This concert is free and open to the public, and it will be CSU students’ last chance to purchase discounted tickets to FoCoMX. Students can purchase FoCoMX tickets for $15! CSU faculty and staff will also receive a discount of $25 per ticket. Tickets for the general public are $35. The FoCoMX Kickoff Concert will feature local bands Slow Caves, Write Minded and Fjord Collins. Slow Caves Danish born brothers, Jakob and Oliver Mueller, provide the vocal and guitar backdrop for Slow Caves, a band (rounded out by childhood friends David Dugan on guitar/bass, and Jackson Lamperes on drums) who offer a relaxed and surf-y update on 80’s synth, 90’s jangle and early aught’s indie rock. Formed in Fort Collins, CO in 2014, Slow Caves quickly gained a reputation as a must-see local attraction. Write Minded Based out of Fort Collins, CO, Write Minded is a fresh and tasteful addition to the Colorado music scene. A unique mixture of hip hop, rock, reggae, funk and soul, Write Minded pushes the confining boundaries of genre to bring you something new. Fjord Collins The band, Fjord Collins, previously known as ONE, is a project to explore a modern intersection between punk, new wave, maximum R&B and classic rock.

Local burlesque troupe brings back the ‘90s in new variety show By Evan Vicchy @evanNOTkevin

The Cupcake Cabaret is bringing sexy back one pastie at a time. The local burlesque troupe performs a monthly variety show. This month’s theme was ‘90s night, and the company showed just enough to keep the audience grooving all night long. “I’d define burlesque as the art of the tease,” said a burlesque dancer whose performer name is Scarlet. “That’s what makes it different from stripping. The reveal moments are pretty short and most of the burlesque dancers have substantial amounts of other dance training” This show incorporated tons of dancing. With a ‘90s theme, the company, consisting of men and women, jammed out for two hours to the top hits of the ‘90s in both group numbers and solo

performances. Songs like “The Sign” by Ace of Base and “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails pulsated through the crowd while people (including myself) were dancing out of their seats. The mixture of dance styles, from belly dancing to some serious hula hooping, made it a joy to watch these dancers move as one unit and also shine in their own solo efforts. Dancer Luella Lovecraft dazzled with her beautiful striptease by seductively taking off her long gloves with her teeth and gradually untying and slipping off her velvet gown to reveal a bedazzled bra. As she unhooked the strap, she spun around showing the entire top half of her body with her nipples covered with tasseled rhinestone pasties. She worked that stage like no other and made me seriously consider becoming a heterosexual and a burlesque performer. The best part about the show

was the wide range of body types and people in the company. Instead of hiring the skinniest people in Fort Collins, the cabaret is body positive. There were men with muscle, people with tattoos and dancers of all heights and weights. It was great to see such a confident group of people fearlessly get up in front of a crowd. The male dancers were also incredible. Towards the end of the show, one of the male dancers had his own striptease act. With his face veiled, he too sensually removed articles of clothing like the others and even caressed some of the male audience members. He then yanked off the veil to reveal his face. Not only was his dancing confident, but it was transcending. And no cabaret show would be complete without a drag queen. Denver’s Mia Staxxx did a beautiful number to Christina Aguilera’s “Genie in a Bottle” with

finesse and sexually charged flair. To bake the perfect cupcake, all you need is self-confidence, dance skills and personality. There is no room to be self-conscious when you’re surrounded by a group of supportive and accepting people to cheer you on. And the more they strutted their stuff, the more invested the audience became. For a local burlesque group, The Cupcake Cabaret nailed every move they made with class and a sense of refinement and showed that burlesque isn’t stripping, it’s about having fun and making art with your best friends. “There is only so much you can get out of an art form that isn’t evolving,” said cabaret owner Julia Diverdi. “So, after a certain point, you have to start drawing from modern-day influences to build on to burlesque to make it feel fresh and new.” Evan Vicchy can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

Beer >> from page 1 that well over a $1 million worth of equipment within that figure was donated by companies around town. The donations were a result of the project serving as a true showcase of the industry, Callaway said. The donations resulted in the brewery being, as Callaway called it, “extremely advanced.” With the capacity to create about 17 kegs of beer at a time, the operation will be less manual than some smaller breweries around town, making it comparable to New Belgium and Odell Brewing Company, Callaway said. “It’s taken a village,” Callaway said of the creation of the brewery. “We had donations from (many companies).” Callaway said the college of engineering even worked on it in their senior design projects. “We’re the mechanical engineers on the team,” said mechanical engineering student, Jason Lejeune. “We did a lot of the 3D modeling and typically what you would think of as mechanical

engineering aspects of the project.” Lejeune said that in addition to his team, electrical, computer, chemical and biological engineers all worked on the project. “It’s really, really exciting seeing it so close to being ready to brew,” said senior mechanical engineering student, April Rieger. “We’ve been working hard and getting it up and running all year.” Reiger estimated that she and her team have put in four to 10 hours each week since September on the project. Rieger isn’t the only person excited to see the brewery in operation either. “It’s pretty nice,” said Raymond Jones, a junior in the agricultural sciences department. “They just need a nitro stout.” Raymond and his friend, Geoff Kozie, a junior in the horticulture and landscape architecture department, noted that they’re looking forward to enjoying the brews that will be served in the Ramskellar, as well as continuing to enjoy a contemporary classic, Old Aggie.

‘Isle of Dogs’ finally comes to Fort Collins By Ashley Potts @11smashley

Hipsters and movie buffs worry no more, the long awaited “Isle of Dogs” has finally made its way to Fort Collins movie screens. The movie originally premiered on limited release on March 23, but Fort Collins kept fans waiting nearly a month to see it on the wide release date of April 13. The Lyric Cinema celebrated the end of the wait appropriately, hosting an event with Horse & Dragon Brewing on premiere day called “Isle of Beer.”

‘ISLE OF DOGS”' ■ ‘Isle of dogs’ is now showing at

all theaters in Fort Collins.

And, the film was worth the wait. It is director Wes Anderson’s second attempt at stop motion and is as visually appealing as the first go. The film is set in the fictional city of Megasaki, Japan not too far in the future. An authoritarian ruler, Mayor Kobayashi, banishes all dogs to Trash Island on the grounds that they are infected with dog flu. Even when handed various forms of scientific evidence that a cure has been found, Kobayashi insists all dogs be exiled. This drives Kobayashi’s orphaned nephew, Atari, to fly to Trash Island to find his exiled best friend, Spots. He instead finds a rag tag crew of dogs voiced by some Anderson film alumni—Bill Murray as Boss, Edward Norton as Rex and Jeff Goldblum as Duke. Bryan Cranston makes his Anderson universe debut voicing stray dog and resident tough guy,

Chief. Meanwhile, back in Megasaki, the lead scientist and only political opponent to Kobayashi is poisoned, a group of kids at a high school newspaper investigate and a foreign exchange student, Tracy Walker, gets suspicious. Yoko Ono also makes a highly under-talkedabout cameo as a lab assistant who tearfully offers some lame advice, simply to “be safe,” to Tracy on her search. This scene, coincidentally, is the scene that allows the film to pass the Bechdel Test, but is still a little disappointing. The film is full of Anderson’s typical deadpan aesthetic, in both the cinematography and the humor. And, as in many Anderson films, the cinematography is really where the film shines. From textural scrappy dog fights to glowing bottle fortresses, the visual splendor of the film is reason enough to watch it. The story, while sweet, has come under some scrutiny. Anderson has been accused of orientalism, cultural appropriation and othering. Though it’s also been argued that he is actually including the AsianAmerican population, Japanese speakers in particular, in some jokes that English speakers miss out on. He’s also been accused of his story being “too thin.” As an avid Anderson fan, I must admit I find this issue in many of his films. I consistently cannot ignore his use of female characters. They always come off strong, but their merits begin and end with the quirkiness of their character. In “Isle of Dogs,” Anderson presents two characters I really wanted to be better. Assistant scientist Yoko-ono had so much

potential. She is voiced by the actual Yoko Ono for God’s sake. Anderson all but set her up to save the day with her research and dog flu-curing serum. Instead we see her weeping at the bar because her male boss died, and she has simply given up on saving the dogs. Tracy was almost good, too . . . almost. She is set up as a tenacious girl out for the truth; she does her research and gets involved in activism. I almost liked her. Until, while going through her research, she pauses to say of Atari: “Dammit, I have a crush on him.” She’s also been read as a white-savior, but she definitely doesn’t save the day—a male Japanese student hacker does. I can mostly ignore this. The fact that she belittled her own interest in finding the truth by making it about a crush on a boy I cannot ignore. The female dogs in the movie aren’t much better. There is flirty show dog Nutmeg, Peppermint, who doesn’t contribute much beyond having babies and the elder-esque Oracle who is endlessly absorbed in the TV. The best female character in this movie is a villian, the woman who gets credit for inventing the evil robot dogs and gets sent to jail. Should you see it? Yes. While the film has its issues, I left the theater in a good mood. The film had a happy ending. I wanted to FaceTime my dog back home and wondered what her voice would sound like if Anderson animated her. And just looking at it, admiring the details of the dogs’ fur and the glassy tears that glazed the characters’ eyes, was worth my $7. Ashley Potts can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.
