City Council discusses Northern Integrated Supply Project By Gabriel Go @rgabrielgo

Editor’s Note: This story will be updated with the results of the proposal at Collegian.com. The Fort Collins City Council discussed Resolution 5217, which would begin discussions with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, a public agency which provides water to northeastern Colorado on Tuesday. The discussion revolved around a controversial proposal known as the Northern

Integrated Supply Project. The NISP is a proposed project meant to deliver 40,000 acres of water a year to 15 Northern Colorado communities. While the city itself would not participate in the NISP, a portion of southeastern Fort Collins would partake in the project. The NISP would consist of three reservoirs along the Cache La Poudre River, including a large reservoir to the north of the city known as Glade Reservoir which would divert over 1,200 cubic feet per second of the river’s peak flows. This would

reduce river flows by 20 percent annually and by 30 percent during the peak flow months of May, June and July, a staff report said. However, the project is not without opposition. According to non-profit organization Save the Poudre the NISP/Glade Reservoir project would cause immense ecological damage to the Poudre River. According to the organization’s website the project’s aim of reducing peak flows would prevent the river from cleaning itself of algae, endangering the

Poudre’s water quality as well as the habitat of a number of aquatic plants and animals. The staff report also acknowledged that “it is likely the health of the river will be negatively impacted by NISP, especially without well-planned and extensive mitigation actions.” The report states that although the river is able to support a number of ecological systems the Poudre is approaching “critical thresholds below which the river’s health and resilience will suffer.” see COUNCIL on page 4 >>

CSU parking by the numbers By Jenn Yingling @jenn_yingling

At Colorado State University a total of 2,828 commuter student permits and 1,999 residence hall student permits are sold annually, according to CSU Parking and Transportation Services “Campus Parking by the Numbers 2017” release. There are a total of 4,510 student permit parking spaces, 1,421 multi-use spaces and 1,001 metered spaces. More than 25 percent of the residence hall spaces have been vacant, Doug Mayhew, associate director of CSU Parking and Transportation Services wrote in an email to the Collegian. This amounts to about 500 spaces. All parking lots are frequently monitored and when parking violations are identified students will be given either a warning or a ticket depending on the offense. According to the release 50 percent of citations end as or are downgraded to warnings without fines. Mayhew wrote that there are options for students who are looking for parking. “Students currently have the option to purchase seven different kinds of permits,” Mayhew wrote. “Students who live on campus can purchase residence hall permits and students who live off campus can purchase permits for students who commute.” Parking and Transportation Services has released a number of proposed changes that may be implemented this July. For example the plan describes a “new low-cost section of Moby lot” where faculty, staff and certain students could pay a reduced fee of $400 to park. The Ingersoll lot may also be reduced

from $628 to $400 for student parking. Reduced $8 daily permits in the Moby lot and $6 daily permits in the Research lot could also come in the future as well as $1.25 short-term Moby lot permits. However, costs could increase for faculty and staff annual permits, students who commute and certain residence hall permits. The plan notes that residence hall permits did not increase to the proposed 2016 rate. A new special permit option could also be available to students. This permit would be limited to specific days of the week, such as permits for only Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The plan also discusses a potential to have up to a 5 percent expansion of reserved parking spaces. While reserved parking spaces are currently not open to students the plan describes the idea as “a future consideration.” Costs that would not change include daily permits, short-term pay station costs per hour and Research Boulevard lot permits. The proposed “30-year Employee Permit Program” is also included in the department’s proposal. Employees with 30+ years of service and who earn less than $50,000 would be issued a free A permit. Last year 200 free permits were given. Employees earning more than $75,000 would still pay full price under the program. In regards to the 30-year program the proposal states that “employees support the current plan, but do not feel existing parkers should cover the cost.” For more information about parking visit the CSU Parking & Transportation website.

Woman arrested for stealing Uber driver’s vehicle By Jenn YingLing @jenn—yingling

A women was arrested for stealing an Uber driver’s vehicle after getting in a fight. Larimer County deputies responded to the incident at 2:40 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 18 on the 700 block of Glenn Ridge Drive in Fort Collins. The Uber driver reported that when he arrived at the destination a female passenger began fighting with other passengers and refused to exit the vehicle, according to a Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office press release. When the driver got out of the vehicle to break up the fight the female passenger, identified as 25 year old Meagan Kathleen Osgood of Broomfield, locked the doors and began driving the vehicle through a yard. She then hit a retaining wall, a tree and land-

scaping. Osgood was reported to be intoxicated. Fort Collins police found the vehicle, which had sustained heavy front end damage, at North College Avenue and Myrtle Street. While conducting the “high risk” traffic stop Osgood ignored numerous commands by the officers to exit the vehicle Police reported she eventually complied, but refused commands to move away from the vehicle. Police deployed PepperBall near Osgood in response and she was later taken into custody. Osgood was brought to a local hospital due to exposure to PepperBall as well as any injuries she may have sustained from crashing into the tree. After evaluation she was cleared by the hospital. Osgood was then booked in Larimer County Jail on allegations of three felonies and three

Numbers up for Florida manatees, both dead and alive Miami Herald

MIAMI — The number of Florida manatees, both dead and alive, continues to climb. This week, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission released preliminary results of an annual count that recorded 6,620 manatees lumbering in the warm waters of Florida’s lagoons, springs and canals. The count comes a year after federal wildlife officials announced plans to remove manatees from the endangered species list and marks the third straight year that estimated population numbers have increased. But the aerial survey also reflects a growing trend by manatees to huddle in waters heated by power plants and a similar upward creep in the number of deaths. Calling waters artificially heated a “real wild card,” Katie Tripp, director of science and conservation for the Save the Manatee Club, worries that regulators are relying too heavily on habitat they can’t control. “Some power plants have 1,200 animals, like in Brevard

County,” she said. “We want manatees to be recovered. But I’m not going to celebrate some artificial victory.”

“The relatively high counts we have seen for the past three years underscore the importance of warm water habitat to manatees in Florida,” GIL MCRAE FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE RESEARCH INSTITUTE

This year’s count was conducted by 15 observers who reported ideal conditions for surveying: cool temperatures, clear skies and little wind. The team counted 3,488 manatees on the East Coast and 3,132 on the West Coast. Last year, counters tallied 6,250 manatees. In 2015, they counted 6,063, passing the 6,000 mark for the first time. The count comes as the num-

A man was repeatedly stabbed at a residence on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred on the 1700 block of Erin Court in Fort Collins on Monday around 1 p.m. Eric Mueller, 26, entered the apartment where Raul Ortiz, 42, and others were located. Mueller, Ortiz and the others became involved in an altercation and then Mueller stabbed Ortiz repeatedly. Mueller was arrested and taken to Larimer County Jail. Mueller was charged with First

Degree Burglary and First Degree Assault. The phone call was made to Fort Collins 9-1-1 at 1:02 p.m.. All involved parties were known to each other. Ortiz was transported to Medical Center of the Rockies for injuries. The crime is still being investigated. Anyone with more information about this incident should contact Detective Josh Goldschmidt at 970-416-2387 or Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at 970-221-6868 or www.stopcriminals.org. Hailey Deaver can be reached at news@collegian. com.

>> COUNCIL from page 1 The city’s Natural Resources Director John Stokes recommended the City Council to begin discussions with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. In particular, he recommended to negotiate with the public agency, saying it would be the best alternative outcome. If the city were to forego consulting with Northern Water the project would be left to federal and state agencies who would not consider the NISP’s impacts on Fort Collins. Close to 40 Fort Collins citizens approached the council for public comment, some urging the council to negotiate with Northern Water and some voicing their reservations. “I’ve noticed a marked decline in the river corridor already… I see virtually nothing anymore,” said one Fort Collins citizen about the current state of the Poudre.

The city owns around 60 percent of the river’s corridor and has already engaged in a number of projects with regards to the Poudre, such as clean-ups and the creation of trails. Negotiations with Northern Water does not mean that the city has already agreed to the NISP’s construction. In order to construct the reservoirs a permit must be obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers who must assess the environmental impacts of the project. The NISP has been in the federal permitting process for 12 years and thus requires many state and federal permits in order for the project to push forward. In 2015 the council passed a resolution which stated “the City Council cannot support NISP as it is currently described and proposed (as of 2015).” Gabriel Go can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Man arrested after repeated stabbing in Fort Collins residence

ber of deaths generally has been trending upward. Last year, 520 manatees died, with 104 killed by boats, a new record. The year before, 405 died. A record 828 deaths were recorded in 2013. Florida’s population of manatees, which move inland during chilly winter months, were long hunted for hides and meat but nearly disappeared as Florida boomed and snowbirds flocked to the warm waters inhabited by manatees. By the time a first aerial count was conducted in 1991, surveyors found just under 1,300. With aggressive efforts by the state and conservationists, including no wake zones to protect the slow-moving mammals, the population expanded by more than 500 percent, prompting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last year to announce plans to downlist manatees to threatened. “The relatively high counts we have seen for the past three years underscore the importance of warm water habitat to manatees in Florida,” biologist Gil McRae, director of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, said in a statement. “The FWC will continue to work dili-

gently with our many partners to ensure the long-term viability of these habitats and the well-being of the manatee population.” But Tripp said with so many manatees congregating around power plants — six of the manatees’ 17 wintering habitats are power plants — the need to preserve their natural habitat in the state’s warm springs diminishes. Manatees wintering near power plants also fare worse during sometimes fatal cold snaps. A

2010 bitter cold snap was blamed for killing up to 500. “Ideally you have manatees at all natural sites, which you would have protected for them,” she said. “The management community has no control over how Florida makes its power or if there’s a cheaper alternative or if the plants shut down. ... There’s no real reason to think those plants are going to exist forever.” Content from Tribune News Service.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNISTS

The risky cost of Trump’s economic policy Lauren Willson @LaurenKeelani

Editor’s Note: The views expressed in the following column are those of the writer only and do not necessarily represent the views of the Collegian or its editorial board. During his campaign Donald Trump repeatedly promised that—if elected—he would shut down a trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. True to his word, Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 23rd declaring that the U.S. would no longer consent to the pact. On the same day Trump announced plans to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and deliberations are tentatively set to begin in May. Very early in his administration Trump has made it clear that he is determined to change the way in which we trade—and interact—with other nations. Trump’s decisions to withdraw America from the TPP and renegotiate NAFTA are supported by the assertion that his actions will create American jobs and stimulate economic prosperity. However, international relations may suffer as a consequence, a ramification which, in the long run, may be far costlier than any trade deal in history. In order to understand why Trump’s executive order concerning the TPP is significant one must have a semi-firm grasp of what the deal entails. Essentially the TPP is a proposed trade deal between 12 Pacific Rim countries (Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam) that aims to strengthen international economic connections by removing tariffs and encouraging GDP-bolstering trade. In order to be ratified the U.S. would need to provide approval of the deal. In doing so a variety of highly prosperous and influential countries would be linked through a vast trade network, like a modern Silk Road. Indeed, if passed, the TPP would be the largest trade pact to date. The international con-

nections that would have resulted from enactment of the TPP might have given the U.S. an upper hand against the competitive Chinese economy. Additionally it could have served to ease economic and political tensions between the member nations. By killing the partnership, which the Obama administration worked on for almost eight years, Trump has practically ensured none of these things will happen. Consequently, nations that can no longer rely on the TPP may now turn to China for trade and investment. Trump asserts that joining the partnership would result in the loss of American jobs to East-Asian nations where labor is significantly cheaper. This, in theory, would hurt U.S. workers and the companies who employ them. But one cannot know definitively that the passage of the TPP will have these effects. Perhaps the reason Trump is so vehemently opposed to the TPP is because he sees it as an extension

“Regardless of whether one believes NAFTA was a success or a failure, it is Trump who will be doing the negotiating with Mexico and Canada in the near future.” of NAFTA, a pact whose effects cannot be clearly classified as good or bad. The North American Free Trade Agreement is a trade pact between the nations of Mexico, Canada and the United States. It was established for basically the same reasons as the Trans-Pacific Partnership: to bolster trade, remove limiting tariffs and raise interest in corporate investment. Since its enactment over twenty years ago, NAFTA has elicited mixed reviews. Some, such as Trump, argue that the agreement resulted in a number of detrimental effects. For instance

the strength of American trade unions declined, U.S. jobs (especially in the manufacturing sector) were outsourced to Mexico and wages for some citizens decreased. Furthermore, increased industrialization came at the cost of environmental exploitation; in Canada shale fields destroyed natural spaces while massive factories in Mexico tore up the land. On the opposite end of the spectrum, those who support NAFTA point out that it greatly increased trade, removed much-despised tariffs and boosted member econo-

mies. In addition the cost of imported goods such as oil and food decreased. Regardless of whether one believes NAFTA was a success or a failure, it is Trump who will be doing the negotiating with Mexico and Canada in the near future. And it was also Trump who withdrew the U.S. from TPP, thereby negating years of work not just by Obama, but the other 11 affiliated nations as well. Our president has done these things in the name of preservation and national primacy; he believes by cutting ties to other

economies American fiscal health can be maintained and improved. Although focusing energy on domestic development will probably yield more jobs and boost GDP, one must consider what is being sacrificed in return. Is a slightly better economy really worth the dismantling of strategic, peace-preserving alliances? Prior to entering the Oval Office Trump was first and foremost a businessman. It seems his entrepreneurial aspirations have carried over into the presidency, as see POLICY on page 7 >>

Parents are the experts on their children, but teachers are the experts on education. Please keep that straight.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Clark building embodies student issues on campus By Marco Durazo Editor’s Note: The views expressed in the following letter to the editor are those of the writer only and do not necessarily represent the views of the Collegian or its editorial board. Looking around the Colorado State University campus one will find new buildings and facilities, a new stadium and increasing enrollment. Among other things, some students may argue that their most essential needs are being overlooked. Parking options are decreasing, tuition is increasing, older infrastructure is decaying and some faculty members are being worked for dismal wages. Even some student athletes who do not play the most popular sports feel like they are being over-

looked. What about buildings that serve the most? They seem to be forgotten. Given recent spending patterns it is not that our University cannot finance these things, it is that they are not at the top of the priorities list. We know that the University tries to prioritize student issues, but the following issue is the most prominent at hand. The one symbol on campus that embodies all of these concerns is the Andrew G. Clark building. Not only is it a massive building in the center of campus, but it also houses five departments and its lecture halls are used to teach introductory courses to thousands. This means the building serves almost all new students on campus. Still, doorways need to be

widened for two-way traffic to avoid fire hazards, parts of the ceiling are drowning in asbestos and the chalk blackboards were only removed not too long ago, among other issues. Clark is a symbol of the failure to put students first and is the best symbol for hope on this University’s campus. Paying bankrupting tuition to be in Clark is like paying money to smoke cigarettes; somewhere along the way you went too far to quit, but it slowly kills you every time you pay the bill. Rams for Representation is hosting a Student Issues Forum on the LSC Plaza, Feb. 23 at noon where students, faculty and members of the community will be discussing change on campus. Letters to the editor can be sent to letters@collegian.com.

>> POLICY from page 5 demonstrated in his feverish attempts to stimulate the economy. Unfortunately I fear that decades working in the Tycooniverse has rendered Trump ignorant of anything that does not pertain to wealth or personal benefit. Maybe I’m just not the kind of person who’s motivated by money, but even if I were I doubt I would put revenue before relationships. President Trump, on

the other hand, seems to have no qualms about doing this. Whether his actions will permanently damage foreign relations, only time will tell. Until then I’m just going to hope the NAFTA negotiations go well, because I love cheap Mexican avocados and I really don’t want prices on imported produce to skyrocket.

CSU knocks off New Mexico in The Pit By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

Editor’s note: This story will be updated with quotes from the team at Collegian.com The game was marked on Colorado State’s calendar and after defeating New Mexico 6856 in front of a sold out crowd of 12,078 at The Pit Tuesday night the Rams again sit alone atop the Mountain West standings. The last time CSU had won at New Mexico before Tuesday night was in 2007. After a physical 84-71 home loss on Jan. 14 to New Mexico,and the verbal altercation between Emmanuel Omogbo and New Mexico assistant coach Terrence Rencher that followed, the rematch between the Rams and Lobos was set with no shortage of anticipation. Heading into the game CSU was in a three-way tie for first place in the Mountain West alongside Boise State and Nevada. With the win over New Mexico CSU (19-9, 11-4 MW)

now holds sole possession of first place in the conference, moving a half game ahead of Boise State (17-8, 10-4 MW) and Nevada (216, 10-4 MW). The Rams had lost eight straight games to New Mexico at The Pit coming into the rematch. The win Tuesday night put an end to the losing streak at The Pit and extended CSU’s road conference win streak to five games—the longest since the 1989-90 season.

MOUNTAIN WEST STANDINGS: Colorado State: 11-4 Nevada: 10-4 Boise State: 10-4 SDSU: 8-6 New Mexico: 9-7 The senior duo of Gian Clavell and Emmanuel Omogbo once again led the Rams to a fifth straight victory and their eighth win in nine games. Clavell missed his first four

shots of the game but, as the guard has typically done this season, eventually found his stroke. Clavell finished with 24 points on 9-of-21 shooting from the floor. The Puerto Rico native also went 4-of-8 from 3-point range. Omogbo notched his Mountain West leading 16th double-double of the season with a 17 point and 14 rebound performance. The double-double marked his 11th such stat-line in conference play this season— the Mountain West record for double-doubles in a season in conference play is 12. Omogbo shot 50 percent frowm the floor, converting 6-of-12 field goals in the contest. Prentiss Nixon was the third CSU player to hit a double-digit point total in the game. Nixon scored 11 points and went 4-of-13 from the field. As a team the Rams shot 43.1 percent and only turned the ball over five times. CSU averaged 12 turnovers per game before the contest. The five turnovers marks a season-low in Mountain West play this season for the Rams.

DAILY LOBO

New Mexico played without Tim Williams, their leading rebounder. Williams scored 15 points and had nine rebounds against CSU earlier in the season. Colorado State out-rebounded New Mexico 35-33 Tuesday night. Up next the Rams will host San Diego State on Saturday, Feb. 25. The game will tip-off at 6

p.m. MT and can be seen on CBS Sports Network. Colorado State will enter the game either in sole possession of first place in the Mountain West or tied with Nevada and/or Boise State for first. The game will be CSU’s annual orange-out. Eddie Herz can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

CSU chasing history against New Mexico By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

When the Colorado State women’s basketball team takes the floor Wednesday night against the New Mexico Lobos they will have the opportunity to do what no other Mountain West team—men’s or women’s— has ever done: clinch at least a share of the Mountain West regular season title four years in a row. A win Wednesday would guarantee the Rams (20-6, 12-2 MW) a share of the regular season title with three additional chances to win the regular season outright. The matchup against New Mexico (15-11, 10-5 MW), which also serves as the Rams’ pink out game this year, will mark the second time in as many games that the Rams play the conference’s second place team. The Lobos are tied with the Wyoming Cowgirls for second in the conference, still two-and-a-half games behind the Rams. After the Rams defeated the Cowgirls last Wednesday head coach Ryun Williams refuses to take his foot off the gas. “We need to be as urgent against New Mexico as we were against Vegas (UNLV) our very first game of conference season,” Williams said. “We will not relax. This is the most important game that we’ve played all season long. If you don’t treat it as such you’re going to get beat.” One of the Lobos’ biggest strengths is their size. The team boasts five players that are at least 6-feet 2-inches tall, highlighted by 6-foot-5 center Richelle van der Keijl. The Wright State transfer has set-

tled in soundly, averaging 14.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game in her first season as a Lobo. Her 0.61 field goal percentage is the best in the Mountain West. Combined with their athleticism from the guard position, the Lobos present a challenge to Williams and the Rams. “(New Mexico is) really big,” Williams said. “They had 18 offensive boards the first time we played them. I think our interior defense has got to be rock solid, we’ve got to be able to keep the ball in front of us. They’re a team that plays breakneck speed on a missed field-goal. They really fly up and down the floor. If we’re there waiting for them, then we can guard. But if we let them get out and go, we don’t have the athletes to compete with that.” Though a win in any of the team’s remaining four games would guarantee at least a share of the regular season title, the Rams would certainly rather do so sooner than later. With a chance to make history Williams is tuned in to the task at hand. “I’m sure the kids are thinking about it, but we haven’t talked about it,” Williams said. “We are never going to get ahead of ourselves. But let’s face it, the kids aren’t stupid. It’s a goal of ours and we’re close, but not there yet. We’ve got a lot ahead of us.” The Rams will look to clinch in front of a home crowd at Moby Arena, a place the team has won 28 of its past 29 games. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 22.

TRACK & FIELD

Bedard and Williams earn Mountain West honors By Chad Deutschman @ChadDeutschman

Colorado State track and field swept the Mountain West athlete of the week honors, again. Sophomore Kelcey Bedard and freshman Preston Williams were named the MW women’s and men’s athlete of the week, the conference announced Tuesday. The honor is the first time that both Bedard and Willaims have earned a conference award in their careers. Bedard now holds the top weight throw mark in the conference this season and Williams set the league’s best long jump mark. Bedard won the Rocky Mountain Classc by over half a foot with her 63-1.5 weight hurl mark. The mark set a new personal best for the sophomore and ranks seventh all-time on Colorado State’s indoor list. In his first collegiate track and field meet of his career, Williams set a 24-6.25 in the long jump to win the event by over a foot. Williams’ mark set at the Rocky Mountain Classic ranks

second-best on CSU’s all-time indoor list and is the best by a CSU athlete since 1970 (Phil Webb, 24-10). Not only did Williams’ mark rank No. 1 in the MW, it also ranks 49th nationally in the event. The two awards CSU garnered Tuesday put the team total to 12 on the season, finishing the year with the most by any school in the conference. Lorenda Holston led CSU with three, the most by any women’s or men’s track athlete in the conference. Mostafa Hassan and Cole Rockhold followed with two each, while Bedard, Williams, Jerrell Mock, Aaliyah Pete and Hunter Price all had one. The eight member of CSU track and field to be honored are the most by any team in the MW. Colorado State track and field team will compete at the Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships Thursday, Feb. 23-25. from the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

CSU ATHLETICS

58 CSU athletes named Academic All-Mountain West honorees By Chad Deutschman @ChadDeutschman

A school record of 58 Colorado State athletes were named in the Fall 2016 Academic All-Mountain West team. The honorees were recognized by the conference for their work in classroom during the Fall 2016 season. As a league the Mountain West honored 614 student-athletes — a conference record. Recognition of Colorado State’s 58 student-athletes surpasses the previous record of 48 set back in the Fall 2015 seasons. The 58 athletes come from all five of CSU’s fall varsity athletic programs: men’s and women’s cross country, football, soccer and volleyball.

Of the 58 athletes three hold a cumulative grade point-average of 4.0: Alex Hess (women’s cross country), Amanda Young (volleyball) and Ricardo Kaempfen (men’s cross country). Fourteen athletes hold a cumulative grade point-average over 3.75. In order to qualify for the Academic All-Mountain West award athletes in consideration must have completed at least one academic semester at the member university and hold a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better. In addition to the work inside the classroom the athlete must have competed in at least 50 percent of the respected team’s varsity contests in the past season.

A host of issues for 2024 Summer Olympic hopefuls By David Wharton Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES—Olympic bids are in, but L.A., Budapest, Paris face challenges. This week should have been a time of pure celebration for the three cities campaigning to host the 2024 Summer Olympics. Bid leaders from Los Angeles, Paris and Budapest, Hungary, submitted their final documents to International Olympic Committee headquarters, culminating months of painstaking work. Yet, developments on Friday reminded each of the cities that difficult issues remain. LA 2024 faces concerns about President Donald Trump and his international policies — a tense situation that prompted Iran to bar U.S. wrestlers from a prestigious tournament in that country. In Paris, the specter of terrorism resurfaced as soldiers shot a machete-wielding attacker outside the Louvre Museum. And Budapest 2024 leaders declined to release the specifics of their bid, waiting as a Hungarian political organization collects signatures for a possible referendum on the issue. Although politics are not supposed to influence the IOC, its membership does not exist in a vacuum. “People are people,” said Dick Pound, an influential member from Canada. “They decide things for different reasons.” Now that all the paperwork is filed, the candidates will embark on an “international promotion” stage during which they have numerous opportunities to meet with the 90 or so Olympic voters. Each city will be visited by evaluators, then receive feedback during a July dress rehearsal at IOC headquarters in Switzerland. Members will cast their votes in Lima, Peru, in September. “We are certain the merits of our bid are outstanding,” said

Casey Wasserman, chairman of the private LA 2024 committee. “And I’m confident that IOC members will see our bid as that.” Answering questions about Trump is nothing new to the L.A. group. Bid leaders heard rumblings of concerns at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro last summer and addressed the issue again at an international sports assembly in the fall. On Friday, Iran’s official IRNA news agency reported that U.S. wrestlers will not be allowed to enter the country for the Freestyle World Cup later this month, a decision triggered in part by Trump’s executive order banning travel visas for citizens of Iran and six other predominantly Muslim countries. While the announcement may have been politically predictable, it came as a jolt to the sports world because Iran and the U.S. have for nearly two decades enjoyed a close relationship when it comes to wrestling. The mood among IOC members has been mixed. Samih Moudallal of Syria issued a statement expressing confidence the U.S. would ultimately “support the Olympic values.” But Richard Peterkin of St. Lucia tweeted: “Trump’s executive order on immigration is totally contrary to Olympic ideals.” So it probably makes sense — from a competitive standpoint — that Paris 2024’s proposal begins with the line: “Olympism and its values of universality, diversity and friendship have never held more meaning than they do today.” The French bid features numerous venues clustered on the banks of the Seine river. The city’s many landmarks would play a leading role, with beach volleyball in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower and equestrian events held on the grounds at Versailles. The average ticket price for the opening ceremony would be less than $1,500, as compared to

more than $1,700 in L.A. Paris’ overall average would be $117 as compared to $137. The total organizing budget for Paris 2024 is estimated at about $4 billion, an amount that does not include the construction of an arena, aquatics center and the often costly athletes’ village. L.A. bid leaders have projected they could stage the Games for $5.3 billion with no major structures to build. But finances are only part of the story for the French, who have faced concerns stemming from two major terrorist attacks in Paris in 2015 and another in Nice last July. The bid devotes several pages to the subject of security and promises “the French government is committed to implement, if necessary, additional measures to guarantee the effectiveness of Games’ safety.” The assailant at the Louvre on Friday shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he rushed at soldiers in what authorities characterized as “a terror attack.” He was hospitalized in a life-threatening condition. As for the Budapest bid, details remained unclear. Hungarian officials recently decided to delay the final stage of their campaign until they know whether a group called the Momentum Movement has collected enough signatures to force a referendum. Previous attempts to bring the bid to a vote have failed. On Friday, a spokesman for Budapest 2024 told the Los Angeles Times in an email: “We will publish the (full bid) once we start the international promotion.” Pound said the next eight months should give candidates sufficient time to address each of their challenges and provide IOC membership with answers to a crucial question. “You have an increasingly sharp focus now,” Pound said. “Can you be convincing about why it should be you instead of somebody else?” Content from Tribune news service.

CSU alumna inspires many with cooking show about allergies

The Orwells try to revive garage rock with new album

By Mareena Winchell @mareenaaaa_

Put yourself in the shoes of someone with a food allergy. You make your own dip for a party that is completely allergen free, you look away and someone else sticks a chip in (or anything that you are allergic to), causing you to no longer being able to eat the dip you made. Now imagine not having just one food allergy, but several. This is the reality of Mary Beth Eversole. Mary Beth Eversole, a Colorado State University alumna, has turned a negative aspect of her life into a life-changing cooking show, inspiring thousands. Eversole is an actress, musician, director and producer who has had great successes in her life, but lives with several severe food allergies. Eversole’s severe food allergies include meat, fish, wheat, soy, corn, casein (which is in most dairy products) and shellfish. Her sensitivities, which means she can still eat them occasionally but she registers on the allergen spectrum, include celery, peanuts, oranges, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans, hemp seeds and yeast. Not only is living with severe food allergies a hindrance on anyone’s day-to-day life, but the societal pressures that come with it do not make it any easier. The skepticism that comes from people who cannot relate to having a food allergy do not make living with these allergies any easier.

“I wanted to make this show fun because it is so depressing to live with this. You feel inferior to others” MARY BETH EVERSOLE CSU ALUMNA

“You have to constantly defend yourself when having a food allergy—especially being diagnosed with several because no one ever believes you,” Eversole said. She has heard it all, from being called a liar to a hypochon-

driac all because no one understands what it is like. Eversole has often found that people only believe her when they see a fullblown allergic reaction, something that potentially threaten her life. “I found that I have to do a

tress in front of the camera, my personality and to do a lot of good research,” Eversole said. “I wanted to make this show fun because it is so depressing to live with this. You feel inferior to others” This cooking show is built

lot of educating,” Eversole said. Since there are no permanent cures available to fix her food allergies, the internet has become her best friend after being diagnosed. Eversole has had numerous doctors tell her that living with food allergies is a learning process, which can be scary, she said. It all started when Eversole was on the set of “American Horror Story” and was approached by one of the executive producers, whose son also had severe food allergies. She realized that the one problematic characteristic of her life also affects others in the same way and she wanted to take the bad and turn it into something beneficial for herself and others. Eversole started a cooking show on YouTube called “Allergy Actress Cooking.” Her previous professions taught her to know how to act in front of the camera, never to operate the camera, but she was up for the challenge. “I had no clue if this show was going to go anywhere or help anyone,” Eversole said. “It was just me and my camera in my kitchen.” “I knew how to be the ac-

on taking the isolation and the self-doubt that comes with having food allergies and turning it into something optimistic. This cooking show brings a wide range of viewers: from people who also live with these allergies, use the autistic diet, anyone with a special diet or just people who enjoy trying something new. “The show is about being able to eat safe and healthy and mostly to enjoy yourself while with other people, and that is what the show is about,” Eversole said. “I am bringing on people from all dietary walks of life, to touch on every special dietary need, even the ones I don’t have” You can subscribe to her cooking channel on YouTube at “Allergy Actress Cooking.” This cooking show is strictly pro bono due to the financial restrictions that Eversole faces to put on such a show. If you would like to help Mary Eversole continue to help change the lives of many you can donate to the Allergy Actress Cooking: Making Food Fun for All on the Indiegogo website.

The title of this album may not be an apt descriptor of the musicians behind it. It takes a lot to release three albums in just five years. However that is exactly what The Orwells have done. Notably they have gained a lot of attention when they toured with Arctic Monkeys back in 2014. They are worthy of their own spotlight now and their third studio album “Terrible Human Beings” proves that. Based out of Elmhurst, Illionis, a suburb of Chicago, The Orwells got their start back in 2009. They have been hard at work making a name for themselves in the eight years since. They released their first studio album “Remember When” back in 2012. It was not until the release of their second studio album “Disgraceland” in 2014 that the band’s music really started to hit the mainstream, with tracks starting to be used in commercials and even featured in the video game “Grand Theft Auto V.” The band started to really find their footing in recent years and it was only a matter of time until they put out another album. Sure enough just three short years later we finally have “Terrible Human Beings.” “Terrible Human Beings” is a 13-track record that clocks in at around 39 minutes in length. Front to back it is everything you could expect from a punk rock record. The best way to describe the sound of this record is that it is a blend of modern day rock with some garage rock revival. That being said the tracks are pretty well mixed and the vocals are clean. The Orwells throw a few curveballs here and there with some tempo shifts mid record, but for the most part this record is all about taking a risk and trying to recapture an old sound. It has its ups, but there are certainly a few downs that come with that risk. Musically we hear a lot of late 80s and early 90s influence in this record. That is apparent from the get-go with the lead track “They Put a Body In the Bayou,” with a huge focus on the bass line and some pretty decent background vocals. This does not last long, however, and we get some cookie-cutter, formulaic tracks like “Creatures” and “Hippie Solider” that struggle to stand out in any particular way. Then you get tracks like “Black Francis” and “Ring Pop” that perfectly describe

the sound that the band was going for. Yet these moments are so few and far between. Then there is the whole issue of the ending track, “Double Feature,” which is a whole seven-minute song that seemingly does not go anywhere. It seems more like a jam session rather than a proper outro to a decent record. It felt like there was just so much that it could have done and instead it was more of a disappointment.

“The best way to describe the sound of this record is that it is a blend of modern day rock with some garage rock revival.”

Lyrically what is there to say? You get the notion that the band is going for something that is a bit witty, but it does not quite land and can feel awkward, especially when they are picking and choosing when the accent comes into play. You have tracks like “Vacation” that are trying to be more eye-opening, while “Buddy,” which is one of the best tracks on the album, is too short. The vocals are so clean, however, that it is pretty easy to sing along to and is not that hard to follow. The overall feeling you are left with though is that the band was going for a lot more than what you are left with, and in the end you have a handful of clichés that are not that bad.

Should You Listen To It? Maybe. While it should be appreciated that The Orwells really did try for something relatively new it does not quite stick with you. If you have been a longtime fan of the band you will have no trouble getting into this record. Otherwise, if you are new, you probably will just end up cherry-picking a few tracks to listen to. It is a decent punk record for what it is, but does give off the feeling that it tried just a little too hard to be something it is not. We might have to wait a few more years until we actually see a garage rock revival. Alec Erickson can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

Spring break or bust: Places to go over break By Adelayde Dahlin

tional parks just waiting to be explored. Moab, Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Zion and others are all within hours from one another, so spend a day or two adventuring around each one, then jump in the car and onto the next. Start planning your route now and make a couple of different playlists for the road.

by offering hotel deals, rental boats and nightlife activities, among many more amenities to draw students in. Their deals are actually pretty reasonable, one being a five-night stay between $45 and $50 a night. So if you love lakes and crowds check out their website; it is not too late to book a hotel.

The stereotypical college spring break: Lake Havasu, Arizona

Check out the Great Sand Dunes, Colorado

Experience Utah and everything its parks have to offer:

Distance from Fort Collins: 14 hours

Distance from Fort Collins: four and a half hours

Distance from Fort Collins: 6 hours to Moab and Arches, which are the closest Utah parks.

@addsss_

While I cannot guarantee that a road trip to one of these majestic places will beat an experience abroad—because no one should pass up that opportunity—I can guarantee that with the right friends and some killer music these destinations will surely give you a spring break to remember. Check out these places and start planning:

Road trip song: “Step Out” by Jose Gonzalez Utah may not seem like it has much to offer for a spring break getaway. However, it is filled with breathtaking na-

Lake Havasu is more of a typical spring break location and is well known for it. If you want to spend the week in a bathing suit partying, then this is the place for you. They expect hundreds of spring breakers each year and prepare for it

We all live in Colorado and many of us still have never been to the Sand Dunes, so with all that extra time over break you might as well check them out. Slide down the dunes on boards and sleds

that you can rent in the nearby town. Camping is available, but much of it is closed for the winter months so I would recommend booking a hotel for a night or driving home after your day at dunes. Spend a night in Las Vegas, Nevada Distance from Fort Collins: 11 and a half hours Recommended road trip song: “Good Times Roll” by Griz This may not be the cheapest option, but one night here might be just what you need. Grab your closest friends who are 21+ and go crazy. You may even make more money than you spend. Whether you are hanging out by the pool, gambling in the casinos or walking the strip you will make some memories you will not forget. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right?

Spend a couple days secluded in the mountains Distance from Fort Collins: a couple hours, however far you want Recommended road trip song: “Equestrian” by U.S. Royalty Like Colorado too much to leave it? For more of a relaxing spring break why not spend the week in an Airbnb in the mountains with your closest friends. You can drink, play games or you can just hang out, which is sometimes the best thing to do. Airbnb is great at having an array of pricing options, so check it out and start planning before all the cool places are taken. As an added bonus, most mountain cabins come with hot tubs so it is a win-win situation. Adelayde Dahlin can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

Wolf Sanctuaries in Colorado By Adelayde Dahlin @addsss_

Wolves are currently on the endangered species lists, but they may not be for too much longer. Lawmakers in several states have put forth The War on Wolves Act once again trying to allow wolves to be hunted in vast amounts. The states included in this act are Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. If this act passes the wolves in these states will no longer be protected by the federal government. This is likely due to the money that can be brought in by allowing people to hunt these beautiful animals. If you want to learn more about the wolves here in Colorado and possibly set up a visit check out these sanctuaries below. If you want to help the wolves and learn more about these major issues check out the Endangered Species Coalition. Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center Where: Divide, Colorado Hours: starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday This sanctuary is a non-profit organization only a few hours outside of Denver and they offer

multiple tours. There is a standard tour where you learn all about the animals as you walk by and see them, an interactive tour where you get take pictures one on one with the wolves and a feeding tour where you get everything included in the standard tour, but you also see the animals being fed. They also offer a few other opportunities, such as one with private photographers or more time with the wolves at different enclosures. They have full moon tours once a month at night with stories, drinks and howling with the wolves. Coyotes and foxes are also present at this sanctuary. There are also special holiday events on their calendar. W.O.L.F. Sanctuary “Wolves Offered Life & Friendship” Where: Laporte, Colorado Hours: currently not open to the public While this non-profit is currently not open to the public they are in the process of trying to move to change that. They have purchased a larger amount of land in close proximity to Fort Collins, but need to raise money in order to build visitor facilities

and large enclosures among many other things. While they currently do not allow visitors they do offer volunteer opportunities and internships. Also interesting to note, they work with the Colorado State University diagnostics lab when one of their wolves or wolfdogs dies. Plus wolves are not the only animals they rescue, they rescue other types of wolfdogs as well, seeing as how many have been abandoned. Mission: Wolf “Education vs Extinction” Where: Westcliffe, Colorado Hours: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. everyday This sanctuary is rather interesting. Not only is it completely free, but it also offers a chance to camp overnight. It is located deep in the mountains and is run on solar power and wind turbines. Their website focuses on their “off-grid” living and they have a huge focus on sustainability and even use greenhouses. While it is free donations are a must for this to be able to happen. Other programs regarding the wolves are also available. Adelayde Dahlin can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.
