CSU student cycles across country with Journey of Hope

By Yvette Redwood @CSUCollegian

Thirty bikers and eight crew members set out on a journey from Seattle, Washington on June 7 to reach Washington D.C. on August 12 for the annual bike ride, Journey of Hope.

Journey of Hope, an event hosted by Pi Kappa Phi’s philanthropy The Ability Experience, is a cross-country bicycle ride that raises awareness for people with physical and mental disabilities.

The ride consists entirely of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity brothers and covers 40,330 miles.

Among the 30 bikers is Colorado State University’s very own Pi Kappa Phi member, Ryan Duke.

Born in Parker, Colorado and a current CSU senior studying business, Duke hopped on a bike to be a part of the Journey of Hope experience.

■ “It is a good way to spend your

summer. It is a good way to learn about yourself and help out the community.”

According to Duke, members of Pi Kappa Phi are encouraged to participate in the Journey of Hope bike, given that every Pi

Kappa Phi chapter throughout the nation takes the event seriously. Duke said it also shows what being in a fraternity is truly about.

“It is a good way to spend your summer,” Duke said. “It is a good way to learn about yourself and help out the community.”

While raising awareness is the main goal, being able connect with people with disabilities is something the fraternity takes seriously as well. Along the journey, the riders and crew members get in contact with a town’s local organization that works with people with disabilities to set up friendship visits with them.

“They really look forward (to) us coming,” Duke said. “The

knowledge and perspective you gain from them is something that will never leave you.”

One of Duke’s most rewarding and memorable friendship visits was with a man he met in Casper, Wyoming. The man worked with local disability awareness organizations until he was diagnosed with a brain tumor that limited the use of his legs.

After hearing the man’s story, Duke said his outlook on life changed into a positive and thankful one.

“I talked to him for a long time, and he just preached to me,” Duke said. “It made me realize (that) if a man like that who had everything can look at life as, ‘Do not sweat the little things but embrace them,’ it makes the long day seem short, and the good see CYCLE on page 3 >>

Vandalized Danforth Chapel window restored CAMPUS

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

The Danforth Chapel window, broken last October, was restored in late June based off of original sketches.

The window was broken between 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 22 and 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 23, according to SOURCE. The original sketches came from the original artists, in an attempt to keep the artwork as close to the original window, before its destruction.

Only 15 percent of the original window was salvaged, according to SOURCE. The chapel window, titled “The Genesis” was constructed by Robert Harmon, a stained glass artist in the Emil Frei studio, in 1954. The same studio restored the window, a process that cost around $5000. Aaron Frei, the greatgreat grandson of the founder of the studio, led the project of the restoration of the window.

The window is an art piece that incorporates symbols for air, earth, fire and water, which

elements that are found in every faith, according to a Collegian article on the destruction of the window.

The Danforth Chapel was built in 1953 by James Hunter, a renowned architect who is one of the best stained glass artists in history, and is located on 701 Oval Drive.

The window has been replicated to the best of the artist’s ability, mimicking the original artist’s design to best replace the window. Over 100 see DANFORTH CHAPEL on page 4 >>

deeds even greater.”

Duke feels as if his experience with Journey of Hope is much more than raising awareness.

Duke believes that participating in Journey of Hope is what being in a fraternity is about, building

on a long-lasting brotherhood by challenging yourself and stepping up to join others to help other communities through an amazing experience.

Duke’s advice to any Pi Kappa Phi member that wants to

participate is to not think about the miles, but just ride.

“Life is too short,” Duke said.

“Don’t count the miles, make the miles count.”

CITY

University helps Fort Collins building achieve LEED platinum rating

By Rachel Telljohn @racheltelljohm

One of the most sustainable buildings in the country was unveiled in Fort Collins this past month.

The City’s new Utilities Administration Building, located at 222 Laporte Avenue, hosted their open house on June 8.

FORT COLLINS UTILITIES ADMINISTRATION BUILDING ■ Located at 222 Laporte

Avenue ■ First building in Colorado to be ranked LEED Platinum.

■ Fourth building in the country to achieve LEED Platinum v4 rating.

Nearly 200 people attended the open house, according to Jen Schill, one of the building’s project managers from Colorado State University.

Schill wrote in an email to the Collegian that numbers that high are unprecedented for such events.

A plaque ceremony and speeches from various city ex-

ecutives, including city council member Ray Martinez and city manager Darin Atteberry were among celebration highlights.

The building is the first in Colorado to be awarded a LEED Platinum v4 cerfitication for a new construction project.

CSU’s Institute for the Built Environment worked closely with the City in order to help achieve the rating. Student interns helped with the project, according to Schill, adding to the 75 interns who have been mentored in sustainability and the built environment through the University.

There are only three other buildings in the nation with the same rating, according to an article published on the City’s website.

The rating, LEED Platinum v4, stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and v4 is, simply, version four.

This particular rating is unique, and only among the fourth in the country, because it was a rating given for a new construction project. The City and the University planned for the building to be constructed with all of the LEED parameters in mind, rather than applying for the certification after the project was finished or already built.

Buildings at Colorado State boast different levels of LEED ratings and certifications.

Among them is the Pavilion at Laurel Village, which has a LEED Platinum rating. The rating was awarded in 2015 after the building’s completion in the fall of 2014.

The difference between the Pavilion’s rating and the rating

of the new city building is because the LEED requirements have changed. This is why the new rating system is called v4.

The rating system in place when the Pavilion was ranked was v3. “(Version four) represents a significant increase in requirements and rigor,” Schill wrote.

For buildings to become LEED certified, there are required prerequisites. Once a building meets those, there are then optional credit levels, which count towards a building’s LEED rating, such as silver, gold, or platinum, according to the website for the United States Green Building Council. Credits can be earned for things such as bicycle facilities or outdoor and indoor water use reduction.

Benefits of achieving v4 include a better evaluation of the water usage and efficiency of the Utilities building, as well as a broader focus on the materials used in the building design in terms of their impact on human health and the environment, according to the U.S. GBC. Other LEED buildings at CSU include the Transit Center and the Behavioral Sciences Building, which are both ranked LEED gold.

The University itself was awarded its second STARS platinum rating this past spring, or Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System.

Fort Collins is often ranked as a green city by association, because the University is ranked as one of the nation’s top sustainable universities.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNISTS

Transplants and transients are not one in the same for Colorado tion,” as some in Colorado have come to call it, has boosted the economy, despite what the homeMack less population seems to indicate.

Beaulieu This “Great Migration” is @macknz_james coming to an end, or at the very least, it’s slowing. According to the 2015 census, over 20,000 less people came into Colorado in Editor’s Note: All opinion 2015 than 2014. That’s a relief to section content reflects the views people concerned that the numof the individual author only and ber of jobs can’t keep up with the does not represent a stance taken number of people, but that conby the Collegian or its editorial cern is mostly unfounded anyway.

In 2011 economist Patricia board.

Silverstein had this to say about The influx of transplants that transplants and the near 9% flock to Colorado has admittedly Colorado unemployment rate, had its issues. Creating the rising “A lot of these folks that came to homeless population isn’t one of or stayed in Colorado are trying them. Mostly, these “transplants” to make it self-employed. These are helping Colorado flourish. innovators, these entrepreneurs The term refers to those of us are the ones who can get the econwho aren’t from Colorado, most- omy running again.”

Silverstien may have been ly those who’ve come in the last 5 years or so. “The Great Migra- right, as Colorado now has the na-

tions lowest unemployment rate at 2.3%. Some employers are even struggling to find workers.

“These innovators, these entrepreneurs are the ones who can get the economy running again.”

That may be shocking to some given the, “transient problem,” that has been a pressing issue in Fort Collins. Murder allegations and nuisance incidents have surfaced recently in our transient culture. People need to come to realize when speaking about transplants, that they are not in coalition with transients.

Most transplants came here to make something for themselves, whether that was through college or just being in a place that doesn’t persecute them for weed.

“Transients,” came here because the town is wealthy, kind, and has great weather. These people aren’t homeless like the homeless you may see in a big city.

They’re vagabonds. They don’t just lack a home and job, they don’t want one.

Tim Dunnigan, who was homeless by choice for around 2 years, made his way from Chicago to Boulder before establishing a residence in Fort Collins.

Dunnigan told me, “Boulder is a homeless destination,” because they take such good care of their homeless. Such good care that they, according to Tim, “would almost force me to take new gear from them.”

The transient problem is

not an easy problem to solve, of course. There’s really no good way of telling if a person is legitimately homeless because of hardships or if its by choice. Even if you can tell, most people aren’t in a position to really help. I guess you have to go with your gut, but my gut tells me that most people who aren’t already homeless don’t move hundreds of miles to be homeless.

Colorado has it’s issues, like anywhere, but new Coloradans aren’t the root. Many transplants came here to get away from the type of attitudes that come in hand with worrying about where people are from. Transplants have helped improve the economy in recent years. Many of us work hard just to stay above water, its not fair to blame us for those who choose not to.

Net neutrality is currently at stake. Here’s what you can do to maintain it Josh Kloehn @jish_jash

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.

Today numerous websites are joining in The Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality. This event is in protest to the Federal Communications Commission’s proposal which seeks to remove the current net neutrality protections put into place in 2015. These rules ensure that internet subscribers have access to all the services they need as well as allows smaller

websites to compete against larger websites and companies.

Net neutrality rules are necessary to prevent the blocking of lawful content on the Internet and keeping the Internet open by preventing internet service providers from throttling down or blocking content.

Small publications (including the Collegian) may be hurt without net neutrality rules. Larger

media companies could pay for preferential treatment from ISPs to deliver their content faster.

ISPs could also decide to block content they don’t want on their network, including smaller websites. This would change the landscape of the internet and lead to smaller sites being pushed out for larger sites that can pay the extra money to earn special treatment.

“Statements calling the internet service market cutting edge are dangerous and prey on apathy and misinformation to get across an agenda that is anti-consumer.”

Numerous companies including Amazon, Dropbox, and Reddit have joined in to protest the FCC’s proposal. Organizers have made battleforthenet.com as a gateway to information on the protest.

The current chairman of the FCC, Ajit Pai, has drafted the proposal titled “Restoring Internet Freedom”, a truly Orwellian title for a proposal that does just the opposite. Pai has argued the current rules have stifled investment and hurt internet service providers.

However, providers such as Comcast have actually increased expendetures by 10.2% and revenue for ISPs has grown at a faster rate than the economy, growing 5 percent from 2013 to 2016.

On top of all this, internet ser-

vice providers themselves have argued that the current regulations do not make sense because they were made for a market with little competition and not the “dynamic and cutting edge technology of our generation” described by Comcast in a blog post.

Calling the internet service market cutting edge may be true, but pretending that it is competitive is simply false. Comcast conveniently forgets that 10.6 million homes in the U.S. do not currently have access to 25 Mbps internet, the legal definition of broadband, while 46 million do not have access to more than one provider at this speed.

Perhaps most frustratingly, the FCC’s proposal demonstrates a disturbing lack of regard for the problems of the past. In 2012, before net neutrality was in place, AT&T blocked Apple’s FaceTime app over specific data plans, preventing FaceTime from even competing on the service. Comcast also began slowing down Netflix in 2014 until Netflix finally worked out a deal for better access.

These statements are dangerous and prey on apathy and misinformation to get across an agenda that is anti-consumer. The FCC and ISPs such as Comcast carefully craft their message calling net neutrality overbearing and unnecessary while ignoring the data behind their claims.

Luckily the FCC requires a public comment period where people can make their opinions known. The first comment period on the FCC’s website closes July 17th. There is still time to make a difference.

Coach Bobo gaining steam on recruiting trail

By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

Colorado State football picked up its third verbal commitment for the 2018 recruiting class in the last six days Monday, when defensive back Davonta Wilson announced his allegiance to the Rams on Twitter.

The 6-foot-0, 185 pound safety out of Miami Central High School (Miami, Fla) currently holds eight offers, including a pair from SEC schools with Kentucky and Mississippi State.

With a recorded 40-yard dash time of 4.61 seconds and shuttle time of 4.46 seconds, Wilson is quick off the line of scrimmage, but also has crucial recovery speed.

Along with Wilson, head coach Mike Bobo and the Rams coaching staff are also recruiting his Miami Central teammate, fellow defensive back Arthur Brathwaite Jr. Brathwaite, who is listed as a 3 star recruit on Scout and

Rivals, recently listed the topsix schools that he in interested in attending on Twitter, citing

Offensive lineman receives recognition for philanthropy FOOTBALL

By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

Colorado State football’s Zack Golditch is being recognized for the work that he putting in off of the field, as the Rams offensive lineman has been nominated for the 2017 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

Known for being an active member in the community, Golditch is a regular volunteer with the Fort Collins Boys and Girls Club and has made several trips to local hospitals, including the burn unit at Aurora’s UCHealth facility and the nearby Children’s Hospital of Colorado.

He has also worked with Respite Care, a non-profit organization in Larimer County that provides short term, quality care for children with developmental disabilities. The purpose of the organization is to provide respite to the children’s families and help enhance the quality of life for the entire family.

Prior to being nominated for the AFCA Good Works Team, Golditch was was CSU’s representative for the 2016 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl Humanitarian Award, which recognized excellence in community service.

Golditch was also on the 2016 Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, another award given for off-the-field efforts in the sport.

As a freshman in 2013, Golditch was honored with the National Football Foundation Inspiration Award for his courage and resiliency in returning to the football field after being among those wounded during the July 20, 2012 Aurora theater shooting.

While Golditch has certainly made an impact off of the field, he is no slouch on the gridiron either. In two seasons, Golditch has played four positions on the offensive line for head coach Mike Bobo and company. In 2016, the Rams offensive line allowed just 1.08 sacks per game- the 13th-fewest in all of FBS—while the CSU offense ranked 19th nationally in passing efficiency, 31st in rushing offense and 38th in scoring offense and total offense.

Golditch is double majoring in sociology and ethnic studies.

He is expected to graduate in December. College football fans can find more information on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team on ESPN.com.

Justin Michael can be reached by email at jmichael@collegian. com.

After Wilson’s commitment Monday, Brathwaite doubled down on his interest in the Rams with multiple tweets about possibly joining his high school teammate in Fort Collins.

NCAA Rules prohibit coaches from speaking on specific individuals until they have signed a National Letter of Intent.

Players part of the 2018 recruiting class are eligible to do so on

February 7. However, Bobo confirmed Wilson’s commitment as he always does, with a tweet that includes all the states that the program has received verbal commits from.

With the addition of Wilson, the Rams 2018 recruiting class currently stands at seven total commitments. Spencer Lovell from Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, an-

nounced that he would be staying in state and joining the green and gold on Saturday.

Wide receiver Lionel Anderson II, a wide receiver and defensive back from Moreau Catholic High School (CA) announced his commitment on Independence Day. Justin Michael can be reached by email at jmichael@ collegian.com.

pound offensive lineman also was honored by Phil Steele, who

named Bennett to his All-MW second team as well.

The Lakewood, Colo. native played a crucial role for an offensive line that allowed only 1.0 sack per game in 2016, ranking eighth in the NCAA. CSU’s offense also ranked 12th in the country in passing efficiency, 31st in rushing offense, 28th in scoring offense and 30th in total offense.

Over the last two seasons, Bennett has started all 26 games for the Rams. Bennett also started three games during his freshman season (2014), but missed the majority of the season due to a knee injury.

Bennett is one of seven MW

centers on the Watch List, and the only one from the state of Colorado. The winner will be recognized at the Rimington Trophy Presentation at the Rococo Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday, January 13, 2018.

About the Rimington Trophy: The Rimington Trophy is presented each year to the Most Outstanding Center in NCAA Division I-A College Football. Since its inception, the Rimington Trophy has raised over $2.9 million for the cystic fibrosis community.

The award is overseen by the Boomer Esiason Foundation, which is committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis and has

raised over $130 million for the fight against cystic fibrosis.

Dave Rimington, the award’s namesake, was a consensus firstteam All-American center at the University of Nebraska in 1981 and 1982, during which time he became the Outland Trophy’s only double winner as the nation’s finest college interior lineman.

Bennett was not the only member of the CSU offensive line to receive national attention this week. Zack Golditch was nominated for the 2017 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

ART

How to become a moneymaking artist in Fort Collins

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

From photography and glass blowing to painting and sketch drawing, the local art scene in Fort Collins is large, and the community of artists is supportive. But, becoming an artist can sometimes be difficult in such a competitive industry.

Here are some tips from local artists who have successfully turned their passions into careers:

1. Create art Cassandra Hammer, a budding pencil sketch artist who focuses on drawing wildlife, said the first step in becoming an artists is to create art and do it constantly.

“I love doing art as it gives me a chance to have time to myself and to appreciate the life we see in the world,” Hammer said. “The biggest thing I’d recommend for others to get involved in art would be to practice it every day, and make it your own piece of work.”

David Clack, owner of Illustrated Light, Fine Art and Photography, showcases his photog-

raphy and others in his Old Town gallery.

“I’ve always loved photography,” Clack said. “Creating an image and the satisfaction that comes from it is wonderful. I just feel the need to create.”

2. Connect with other artists Jim Fronapfel, a local artist who specializes in figuring drawing, said the best thing an aspiring artist can do is get connected.

Fronaufel pursues art as his full time career, and he participates in figuring drawing at the Downtown Artery and has spanned connections all over the state of Colorado.

“I’d recommend finding a group of artists,” Fronapfel said.

“There are groups for every type of art, and it’s a good way to get your name out there and create connections.”

3. Showcase your art Clack advises showcasing as a means for getting your name out there to buyers.

“The art business is pretty competitive,” Clack said. “But, it can be done if you persevere.

Showcasing, on the other hand, has plenty of opportunities.”

Local coffee shops, like Mugs Coffee Lounge and The Bean Cycle, are good places to showcase.

For example, The Bean Cycle’s art showcase is set up on a monthly rotation, But, the important part,

according to Fronapfel, is making sure your art gets out into the world.

“The first thing I did was handing out cards with my art on them,” Fronapfel said. talking about speaking on a panel for commissioned work. “Make sure

people see your art. Talk to people about your art. Share your art.

That’s how you make a business of it.”

FOOD & DRINK

MidiCi Neapolitan Pizza Company offers traditional food in a non-traditional atmosphere

By Nate Day @NateMDay

MidiCi Neapolitan Pizza Company says it best on their own table cards: “Pure ingredients. Rare freshness. Classical simplicity. Historical heritage.”

The surprisingly chic pizza joint allows diners the opportunity to experience authentic Italian-style pizza—as well as appetizers, salads and desserts—that rival food from Italy itself. While the food is often simplistic, the pure taste, aesthetic presentation style and obvious effort to create a genuine Italian experience make it a truly special experience.

The restaurant is surprisingly modern for featuring a menu of traditional Italian pizzas. In fact, it looks more like a contemporary American sushi joint than any kind of tradition-focused restaurant, but the unique ambiance sets MidiCi apart from any other pizza place.

Unfortunately, the location

MidiCi is located at the corner of Harmony and Lady Moon Dr. PHOTO BY NATALIE DYER COLLEGIAN

of the restaurant is a bit frustrating, as it’s located off Harmony in the parking lot of the Banner Medical Center. There are a few other restaurants in the area, but it’s a bit of a haul from the end of town where the University is, and it’s difficult to find once you finally get

out there. However, the space is clean, the small number of neighboring restaurants makes it comfortable and the patio is the perfect place to enjoy a drink and a slice of ‘za. The staff is extremely friendly, walking you through the unique ordering process—which can be

overwhelming at times—as well as ensuring that you’re enjoying your experience throughout your visit. Similarly, the dynamic atmosphere would make MidiCi’s ideal for a large group dinner or a one-on-one date night.

MidiCi focuses on Neapolitan pizza, which they refer to as “light, thin, soft, and chewy, with a high airy crust.” While it would be incorrect to say that the pizza is 100 percent unique, it was absolutely delicious, and after just one bite, it was clear that only fresh ingredients were used. In addition, MidiCi did seem to have the perfect balance of grease and pizza; not so much that it’ll upset your stomach, and not so little that the pizza is dry. Other dishes, such as their burrata with melon and prosciutto di San Daniele, wood-fire baked truffle cheese bread and signature gelato were all hits with customers around the restaurant.

The restaurant also featured a handsome drink menu includ-

ing a number of adult beverages, but also a generous amount of teas and authentic Italian sodas.

MidiCi Neapolitan Pizza Co Location: 3581 E Harmony Rd #170 Hours: Sunday-Thursday: 11 a.m.- 9 p.m., Friday-Saturday: 11 a.m.- 12 a.m.

Fort Collins is a fantastic city to be in if you’re looking to find some great eats, and MidiCi is a great restaurant to add to your list. Despite the awkward location, the food is great, and the atmosphere is utterly unique, making every bite worth the drive.

MOVIES & TV

‘Homecoming’ is the best Spider-Man movie yet

By Ryan Greene @CSUCollegian

It’s been 16 years since Sam Raimi’s webslinger made his big screen debut. After producing five Spider-Man films, Sony Pictures negotiated a deal with Marvel Studios. The agreement allowed Marvel to produce future Spider-Man films, with Sony handling distribution and marketing.

Fans complained that the previous two films failed to get the character right. Any fears of a repeat performance melt away within seconds, as the orchestral rendition of the classic Spider-Man theme is enough to send chills down any fan’s spine.

“Homecoming” is unusual because it extensively features the lead character as a kid.

That means a movie where Spider-Man finally showcases his defining trait: humor.

Tobey Maguire’s take on Spider-Man adhered to the campy, 1960’s feel of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s silver-age comic book hero. Andrew Garfield’s interpretation in Marc Webb’s short-lived “Amazing Spider-Man” franchise saw a moody, 1990’s-style Peter.

Both iterations all but skipped his teenage life, perhaps because Maguire and Garfield looked too old for a high school classroom. Neither franchise featured the quippy hero of the print world.

Tom Holland rediscovers the character’s sense of whimsy. “Homecoming” depicts an idealistic boy who makes dumb mistakes. He web-swings straight into the ground, into swimming pools and into trees. He films ev-

erything in his daily life and incessantly texts people who don’t want to be texted. In other words, he’s a millennial.

While Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced some time ago that “Homecoming” would not feature Uncle Ben’s death or the perfunctory radioactive spider bite, it is nonetheless good to see director Jon Watts taking a page from Zach Snyder over at DC Entertainment. Snyder controversially introduced a middle-aged Batman in “Batman v Superman.” He assumed that audiences would go to the film knowing Bruce Wayne’s origin story and saw no reason to rehash it. “Homecoming” makes a similar omission with SpiderMan’s origin. Having seen it in two prior franchises, returning viewers will appreciate this gesture.

The other standout is the villain. Michael Keaton has embraced his penchant for playing bird and/or bat-themed characters, giving fans a relatable Vulture. Keaton makes you like Adrian Toomes while setting him up as a criminal mirror image of Tony Stark.

It is odd to see a more socially adept Peter Parker. Almost as odd as seeing a financially successful Peter in the recent comic books.

The 1960’s comic character was an outcast in high school. He had unrequited love interests and a bully who regularly beat him up, but he never had friends in those earlier years. He was a loner crushed by dual responsibilities: that of caring for his sickly aunt and of fighting brightly colored villains in rubbery suits. He was a kid who used jokes to cover up his fear and pain. Objectively speaking, Stan Lee’s writing was seriously dark stuff.

Conversely, “Homecoming” Peter is inspired by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” comics of the 2000s. He has a best friend, a social clique, a mentor and a non-violent version of his bully, Flash Thompson. Aunt May is in great health for once, having been aged down about thirty years.

Should you watch it? Yes These differences take some of the weight off Peter’s shoulders. They allow him to act his age. They lend an upbeat and funny tone to the film, resulting in the best Spider-Man yet.
