Student publishes cookbook with healthy recipes SARA VAN CLEVE news@uncmirror.com

Although it usually takes an author a few years to publish a book, one UNC student has accomplished just that in a matter of months.

Torie Christensen, a senior nutrition and dietetics major, published her own cookbook this past May. Her book, “A Bite of Heaven,” has recipes with names that not only sound “heavenly,” but are also dishes everyone can enjoy. The book includes traditional recipes and ones that can be adapted for specialty diets, including glutenfree, dairy-free, egg-free and allergen-free concoctions.

“I’ve had (the idea for the book) in the back of my head for

a few years, but started writing and publishing it last spring,” Christensen said. “I wanted to share recipes with people with and without dietary restrictions.”

Since May, Christensen has sold about 180 copies of her book, which she created and published on her own.

“It was a huge learning process, from creating recipes to writing and taking photos to choosing colors that complement the food so the food stands out,” Christensen said. “Publishing took a lot of research. I self published it because I had a vision for it, and I didn’t want to change it. So I purchased the software and created the pages and laid it all out. It made it that much more rewarding to get the book in my hands.”

Torie Christensen, a senior nutrition and dietetics major, published her book “A Bite of Heaven” earlier this summer.

All of the recipes found in the book are original or adapted from Christensen’s family recipes. They include treats like Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bake, Chile

Rellano Pull-Aparts, Croissant Cordon Bleu Burgers, Creamsicle Cheesecake and Peppermint Hot Cocoa Coffee Cake. She said all of the recipes are really fun and easy.

Christensen began her career at UNC as an education major.

After her own food and dietary restrictions, she said she decided to change her major to learn about the science of food and help others learn how to eat healthy.

“Most people don’t want to eat healthy if it doesn’t taste good, so I like to make healthy foods that are culinary and taste good,” she said.

Christensen will graduate this December and is currently looking for a dietetics internship.

After her internship, Christensen said she will become a registered dietician. She said she wants to

start her own business someday.

“My ultimate goal is to open a nutrition center, cooking school and bakery that focus on ingredients like whole grains and gluten-free products,” she said. “I want to start my own private practice.”

Although she has plans for the future as a dietician, Christensen said she has not ruled out the possibility of writing a second book.

“It’s a thought in the back of my head; I wouldn’t say no, so it’s a consideration,” she said. “I liked putting it together and sharing it.”

To learn more about Christensen’s book, visit her website, www.biteoheaven.com. “A Bite of Heaven” is available at The Book Stop and Barnes & Noble.

Club meeting to dive deep into necessities of scuba ERIC HEINZ news@uncmirror.com

Students interested in becoming a certified diver while earning college credit can attend an informational meeting for the UNSEA Scuba Club. The meeting will take place 5 p.m. Thursday in the University Center Spruce B suite.

Students can join the club and start the certification process at any time. Because the university cut the class, students must provide a diver’s certification to the Registrar’s Office to receive the one credit.

Gerard Morell, the coach of the scuba club who is also a professional scuba instructor, said he has been scuba diving for about 12 years and has been certified for four.

“At the meeting, (the club) is going to explain the duties and responsibilities of diving, and

“

Diving is one of those experiences that changes your life. You enter a world that very few people have experienced. When you look at the number of certified divers, you see that it is a small group of people.

— Gerard Morell, the coach of UNSEA Scuba Club let students know what they can do and where the club is going this year,” Morell said.

Morell also said the club will offer emergency first response training. The proceeds from the training will go toward the club.

The class will be all day on a Saturday in November that has yet to be determined.

Diving club members intend to travel to areas of Utah and New Mexico for diving trips, as well as an end of the year trip to Cozumel, Mexico or Belize.

Morell said the club is already trying to establish fund raising for these trips.

There are no dues for the club, but the costs for the trips and certification starts at about $600. Morell said costs for those who want to take their diving further, will continue to steadily climb.

“Diving is one of those experiences that changes your life,” Morell said. “You enter a world that very few have experienced.

When you look at the number of certified divers, you see that is a small group of people.”

Program promises confidentiality RYAN LAMBERT news@uncmirror.com

UNC has an office available for students to utilize confidentially if they have been victimized by assault or know someone who has.

On the second floor of Cassidy Hall, students will find the Assault Survivors Advocacy Program office. Members of the program, which works under the University of Northern Colorado’s Counseling Center, aim to increase student awareness on sexual assault, stalking and intimate violence through class presentations, displays and a confidential 24-hour hotline.

“Sexual assault is a huge problem on any college campus,” said Deana Davies, the ASAP coordi-

nator. “One in four college-aged women are sexually assaulted, and that is concerning.”

In addition to this, Davies said there is a stigma against reporting sexual assault, intimate partner violence and being stalked by a former partner, which all involve excessive jealousy, verbal abuse and threats.

This stigma is the reason why ASAP places an enormous priority on confidentiality.

“We want to break down barriers,” she said. “Part of that involves making sure that any information we receive remains confidential.”

This confidentiality is See Program, Page 11

Lindsey Passantino, the president of the club and a junior biological science major, said she is working to get her dive masters certification; she is already an advanced-level scuba diver.

She said she started diving her sophomore year at the University of Northern Colorado.

“About 20 or 30 years ago, there used to be a scuba diving club that was the biggest club at UNC,” Passantino said. “The part

I most like about the club is that I like to travel, and we have a good group of people.”

Passantino also said the club has about 60 members — 30 who are active — who are all at different skill levels.

“We take anyone who wants to try it; we even have snorkelers,” she said.

Unlike other cities, Greeley can handle music fests Ah, the outdoor music festival.

This high-spirited event has slowly multiplied over the past decade and is now a summer staple in regions across America. And northern Colorado is not immune to the trend — especially the musicdrenched city of Fort Collins.

A couple of weeks ago, our hipper and occasionally holier-thanthou neighbor to the West hosted its 22nd annual NewWestFest event — a three-day community extravaganza that delivered a heap of music, art, food and tear gas.

At about 1 a.m. Sunday, Fort Collins police responded to a call regarding two men who had been removed from an Old Town Square

hol were to blame for the riot. We at The Mirror like to believe it was the incendiary outputs by headliner Earth, Wind & Fire. But regardless of what started it, it’s clear this disaster could have been avoided.

As we stated, music festivals are a dime a dozen during the sweaty months of summer, and the majority do not consist of impromptu after-hour riot soirees. Just look at Greeley: This past weekend, our humble little city hosted its fourth annual Block Party, and no one was thrown through a window nor did it spark a city-wide witch hunt.

To this day, the Fort Collins Police Department continues to point fingers and attempts to iden-

tify the participants in the free-forall by perusing hours of video footage. And while Fort Collinites pray to God their generically white faces are indistinguishable on camera, we in Greeley are going about our days free from paranoia.

There are many people who The Mirror would like to thank for this: Thanks to The Crew Presents, Atlas Church, volunteers, musicians and, most importantly, Greeley community members. Let’s take a moment to pat ourselves on the back for hosting another successful Block Party in which both testosterone and alcohol were present, but not the unnecessary setback of a drunken 400-person mob.

bar after they had begun arguing.

Though the men’s inability to hold their liquor would be typically humorous, their drunken tantrums eventually led to a cabal of hundreds vandalizing storefronts, damaging nearby vehicles and lighting a vendor tent on fire.

Because the riot happened hours after the end of NewWestFest’s Bohemian Nights headlining concert, the streets of Old Town were still teeming with people at the time. But in the two decades the event has occurred, nothing as severe as Sunday’s melee had ever happened, organizers said.

owe the Colorado Republican Party my most profound gratitude. On July 26, gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes told a crowd that Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper was leading the city toward United Nations control. His evidence? The bike-sharing program.

Seriously. Maes told the Denver Post, “This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms.” He argues

that B-Cycle will lead to UN government of Denver via the city’s membership in the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives.

Besides the truth of the matter, which is that Maes is paranoid, let’s look at some theory. Even if it turned out that driving cars is OK for the planet (which it isn’t) and good for the economy (which it’s not), it would be very tough to convince people bike sharing is evil. I understand Maes isn’t saying there’s something wrong with bikes. He’s saying there’s something wrong with the program itself, but the thought that B-Cycle could threaten personal freedoms is absurd and oddly hilarious.

Maes seems to think aiming for sustainability must be an individual process in order not to lose control of cities. Here’s my favorite bit of his wisdom on the matter, again from the Post: “Some would argue this document that mayors have signed is contradictory to our own Constitution.” Some would also argue that we should hang politicians without ethics.

But Maes isn’t evil; he’s just wrong. Wrong is bad news in relationships, poker and predicting the weather, but plainly reprehensible in a campaign for public office.

It’s not the first time Maes has adamantly stated as fact something that is obviously

wrong. The AP reports Maes’ insistence that if elected, he will immediately layoff at least 2,000 government employees.

He says he will allow unauthorized drilling in the state, “and if Ken Salazar doesn't like it, he can come and see me in Denver.” Unfortunately for Maes, even the governor cannot legally do these things.

Add to his poor choices the fact that the infamous Tom Tancredo has signed on as a third party candidate, splitting the conservative vote, and you have a win for Hickenlooper in the bag. Thanks for everything, GOP! — Mark Maxwell is a junior theater arts major and a columnist for The Mirror.

Office aims to end drug, alcohol misuse RYAN LAMBERT news@uncmirror.com

Working with UNC’s Center for Peer Education and Counseling Center, the Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Education program is on campus to reduce students’ misuse of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. The program is located on the second floor of Cassidy Hall.

“It’s important to educate other students on the misuse of alcohol and other drugs,” said Hayley Hull, a certified peer educator and a senior political science major.

DATE staff members are interested in promoting healthy lifestyles among the University

of Northern Colorado community members.

“Students need resources to be healthy, and we are here to provide them with those resources,” said Jessica Ellis, a peer educator and a senior elementary education major.

The program gets involved with students immediately during freshman orientation. At orientations, students partake in an interactive theater where they are allowed to talk with peers about controversial issues like date rape, excessive alcohol consumption and illicit drug use.

Also, this activity serves to warn students that they may face drug classes if they are

Students need resources to be healthy, and we are here to provide them with those resources.

“There are a lot of miscon-

ceptions about college,” said Emily Hedstrom-Lieser, the DATE program coordinator.

“We want to correct the idea that college is a place of sex, drugs, and parties — it isn’t.”

Part of living a healthy life involves the lack of exposure to substances that impair judgment. Hull and Ellis, said when people think of drugs, they think of things like cocaine and heroin; they do not usually think of cigarettes and beer.

“Tobacco doesn’t cause

immediate danger like hard drugs, but it ends with things like lung cancer,” Hull said.

“Second-hand smoke has been proven to harm those around us, and there’s the pollution that comes with smoking, too.”

According to the DATE program, only 18 percent of UNC students smoke cigarettes on a regular basis.

Students take advantage of pre-released flicks JESSICA GATES arts@uncmirror.com

Movie Night Mondays at the UC is in its fourth year of running. And from the looks of things this semester, the event will prove just as successful as previous semesters for moviegoers of all ages across campus.

Every other Monday night the University Center Fireside Lounge is transformed into a big family room style lounge for students to enjoy free entertainment and relaxation, quickly making Monday nights synonymous with movie night at the University of Northern Colorado.

Jay Dinges, associate director of the University Center Operations, said the movie program at the UC has been offered as a free event to students since October 2007, with every semester afterward offering a full movie lineup. The hosts of this event, he said, include the UC, which partners with the University Program Council and the Student Activities Office.

A quick survey of the typical crowd that turns out for these events

reveals that many students have been here before, and the regular attendees are composed of more than eager and anxious freshmen.

Sam Wood, a senior history education major, said he has attended the free movie nights regularly during his four years at UNC. “After being here for four years, you just know Monday nights are movie nights,” Wood said.

Kylene Cummings, a junior communication major, said she thinks the movie nights are a great way to participate in school events and see a free movie.

“This is a great place to see and be seen,” Cummings said. “You get to hang out with friends in a great environment and see and meet people you normally wouldn’t.”

Dinges said even the coordinators have noticed that many students end up becoming “regulars” on movie nights. He said these students continued involvement has helped to “spread the word to new and unfamiliar faces.”

“This is one of those events that really help students make a home on campus,” Dinges said. “I think that

this has become a good tradition because students have found a place and a recurring time where they can come together in a very informal setting and just relax and be entertained.”

A committee representing the UC and the Students Activities Office chooses which movies to show based on mass appeal, seasonal appropriateness and theater performance, Dinges said. All movies shown are pre-release movies not yet on DVD, an opportunity made possible through funding by the Student Activities Office.

Luke Calhoun, a junior elementary education major and RA for the first floor of New South Hall west, said he has been coming to this event since his freshman year and has enjoyed the good movie selections and good times with friends.

“This is really a good event because it gets us prideful about our school and makes us want to be here,” Calhoun said.

To anyone who has not yet attended a free movie night at the UC Calhoun said they should be sure to keep an eye out for fliers and

“Try something new, because you don’t know what you do or don’t like until you try it,” he said.

And for those who already love the event, Dinges said at this point he doesn’t anticipate any immediate changes to this fond tradition.

“Thus far, the students have spoken loud and clear with their attendance that they value this program and want it to continue into the foreseeable future,” he said.

The next Movie Night Monday at the UC is scheduled for 10 p.m. Sept.

Women’s artwork to be showcased, celebrated in campus galleries TOTIANNA WEEKLY arts@uncmirror.com

Starting today, UNC will host two art exhibits as part of a selection of works by the Women Artists from Bob and Chris Petteys’ collection and Women Artists featured in the Fall Exhibitions at the University of Northern Colorado galleries.

An opening reception for both exhibits will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. today at the Mariani Gallery and The Oak Room Gallery in Guggenheim Hall and Crabbe Hall, respec-

tively.

The exhibits will be open Sep. 2 through Oct. 23, and both gallery hours are from 1 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

The selected works from the Bob and Chris Petteys’ collection will be an exhibit of donations from distinguishable women from the art collection.

The exhibition will include works from Rosa Bonheur, Elizabeth Catlett, Emma Richardson Cherry, Joellyn Duesberry and Martha Epp,

which are only six out of 20 featured artists. The collection of art from 1880-1972 art showcased at the exhibit includes lithographs, etchings, wood engravings and paintings. Out of the list of artists, people might be most familiar with Marry Cassatt, whose art will also be on exhibit. Bob and Chris Petteys’ life work revolves around their interest in women’s art.

Joan Shannon-Miller, UNC’s art gallery director, has overseen the scheduling of the exhibits and commented on how much

coordinating it takes to bring exhibitions to campus.

“I arrange for the installation and presentation of the works, and I am responsible for the reception, publicity, staff scheduling and safety,” Shannon-Miller said.

The development of this exhibition has been in progress since 2008 and will now be on display three years after it was donated to UNC. The second exhibition in The Oak Room gallery, titled “At the Moment: Constructing, Deconstructing and

Reconstructing,” is to ultimately celebrate the work of women artists and showcase women’s diversity and complexity within the art field.

Kris Heinz-Nelson is the leading curator for the art exhibit.

“The curatorial aim is to celebrate contemporary women artists who reflect continuity with the past as well as represent a progressive approach towards media, process and idea,” Heinz-Nelson said. “The show replicates a mere portion of the diversity and complexity seen ‘at the moment’ in visual art.”

ways they will advertise the event to students around campus.

The committee is composed of several of the advocacy office representatives from around campus and is headed by the Women’s Resource Center and the Assault Survivors Advocacy Program.

Anyone was welcome to participate in planning, and several students who were interested attended the meeting.

Lauren Koppel, a sophomore philosophy major, participated in the march last year. Koppel said she thinks it is a really important way to open students’ eyes to violence and for them to be involved.

“I think our university is sometimes very passive, but this is something that the students can really own and be a part of and feel like they’re a visible movement at our university,” Koppel said.

Deana Davies, the coordinator of the ASAP office, has been involved with the march at UNC for seven years. Davies said student influence from the committee is always prevalent.

“Part of what makes (the march) different is that we have input from new students all the time,” Davies said. “What I really like about how this is organized is that it’s very student oriented as far as what students want to see.“

The meetings for Take Back the Night are 2:30 p.m. every Tuesday in Scott-Willcoxon Hall until the march on Oct. 7. Although the first meeting has passed, students can still come to voice their thoughts and be a part of the planning.

Yvette Lucero-Nguyen, the coordinator of WRC, said she wants students to know their input is valuable.

“I think it’s important that our students are involved in the process of planning and joining the committee for Take Back the Night because through that participation, you really get to see the entire event come to fruition,” Lucero-Nguyen said.

this activity.

“We’re not in a position to tell people what to do, but we want individuals to be aware that tobacco use affects us all,” she said.

Additionally, excessive alcohol consumption is dangerous because it hinders a person’s ability to make healthy decisions.

Bears get home victory over Air Force DAVID WILSON sports@uncmirror.com

The UNC women’s volleyball team bounced back from a rough weekend tournament to easily defeat the Air Force Academy Falcons, 3-0, Tuesday at ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion.

The University of Northern Colorado’s (2-2) victory in its home opener gave the team an overall record of 50-13 against the Falcons (1-3).

“We always talk about being the best team in the state ,so we take games against in-state rivals very seriously,” sophomore outside hitter Kelly Arnold said. “It was fun to get to open up against them on our home floor this year.”

In game one, the Bears looked sluggish to start, as they fell behind by as many as four points midway

through. UNC battled back and tied AFA at 23, forcing a timeout from the Falcons. Moments later ,the Bears took their first lead of the match and then sealed the game one victory thanks to a Falcons’ serve error.

The Bears dominated game two, however, as Arnold and senior outside hitter Ashley Lichtenberg took over offensively.

Arnold had eight kills in game two, while Lichtenberg tacked on five kills of her own. UNC’s defense also responded with four blocks in the second game after not picking up any in the first game.

“I’m not sure if it was nerves or if we were trying too hard early on,” Bears head coach Lyndsey Benson said. “But most importantly ,we got it corrected and started playing confident from then on.”

Game three was much of the

same as the Bears came out of the locker room and continued right where they left off. UNC led by as much as seven en route to a 25-19 win in game three to take the match.

Lichtenberg led all Bears with 17 kills and Arnold finished with 14.

The win on their home court was a statement for the Bears early in the 2010 season.

“We wanted to come out and show our fans tonight that this team is still going to be very good,” senior outside hitter Julie Stephenson said.

Stephenson recorded five kills and nine digs on the night.

UNC will be back in action this weekend as it will be the host of the Hampton Inn and Suites Northern Colorado Classic. The Bears’ first game will be at 2 p.m.

Friday at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion against the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Football team’s defense takes confident approach CHARLIE CHARBONNEAU sports@uncmirror.com

Looking at last season’s record of 3-8, it would be easy for most Big Sky Conference opponents to write off the UNC football team for the upcoming year.

According to the players and coaches of a defensive unit that is returning eight of its 11 starters from last season, that would be a mistake on the part of opponents.

“I think we have a chance to be one of the more dominant defenses in the league,” head coach Scott Downing said. “We got three guys that were presea-

son first team All-Big Sky, and there are a lot of good things going around on defense.”

The University of Northern Colorado’s defense was ranked fourth overall in the Big Sky last season, and had the best numbers against the pass among the defenses in the Big Sky. After losing only cornerback Quincy Wofford from the 2009 team’s defensive secondary, senior cornerback Korey Askew and senior safety Max Hewitt anchor a unit that allowed only 206 passing yards per game last year.

“We lost Quincy, but we’ve got some great talent,” senior linebacker John Eddy said.

“We’ve got Colby (Riggins) back there, and I think we’re pretty balanced.”

Askew, Eddy and junior defensive end Nick Hernon were preseason first-team all-conference selections, and lead the defense into Nottingham Field for the first time this Saturday with hopes for continued success.

“Everybody wants to win, and that’s why I respect those guys,” Askew said. “That’s why they deserve what they received this year.”

Downing said the biggest improvement from last season on defense is the depth as well as the experience of the defen-

sive line.

“We basically have the entire defensive front returning,” Downing said. “We have at least eight guys on the defensive front that can play and will play.”

With the buzz around camp surrounding the replacement of quarterback Bryan Waggener, the UNC defense isn’t worrying about what newly appointed junior starting quarterback Dylan Orms and the offense is doing.

“We have a simple job to do, and that’s to keep people out of the end zone and get our offense the football back,” defensive coordinator Cody Deti said.

“From a mental stand point, we don’t even worry about what the

offense does and will do.”

After a season filled with injuries and close losses, the Bears defense simply wants to get on the football field and play.

“They’ve all had solid camps,” Deti said. “It’s about going out and playing a game, and seeing how much improvement was made from spring and fall camp.”

Bears look to take advantage of familiar conditions PARKER COTTON sports@uncmirror.com

After a 2-2 start to the season, the UNC women’s soccer team will look to regain momentum this weekend at the Air Force Fall Classic in Colorado Women’s Soccer Springs.

University of Northern Colorado head coach Tim Barrera said that despite the team’s consecutive losses to Idaho and Colorado, they will be ready for the games this weekend.

The Bears will take on Fairleigh Dickinson at 2 p.m. on Friday and at 9 a.m. on Sunday

at The Citadel.

“The team feels good going into this coming weekend, and we know we’ve had some ups and downs. And going into the season, we hoped to be 3-1 at this point, so we’re a little disappointed we dropped that other match, but this is a pretty resilient team, so we’ll be ready to go this weekend,” Barrera said.

Sophomore midfielder JJ Wykstra said she can already see one advantage for the Bears against their two opponents from the East Coast.

“We’re at a higher altitude than them so that should help,” Wykstra said.

Barrera also said that because FDU (0-2) and The Citadel (1-1) play at lower ele-

“

We know going in what it’s like to play at 7,000 feet, and it’s going to be something that the FDU kids really have never experienced.

— UNC head soccer coach Tim Barrera on playing at altitude in the Air Force Fall Classic vations in Teaneck, N.J. and Charleston, S.C., respectively, the Bears look forward to having the prior experience of playing in thinner air. The Air Force campus sits at 7,258 feet above

sea level.

“We’ve played there numerous times, so dealing with the altitude and just the surroundings will be easier for us than a team from New Jersey or South Carolina,” Barrera said. “We know going in what it’s like to play at 7,000 feet, and it’s going to be something that the FDU kids really have never experienced. So when they try to dig down deep and get that extra oxygen, it’s not going to be there, so that will certainly be an advantage for us.”

Junior defender Janelle Kramer said the team is excited for this weekend and setting the tone for the rest of the season.

“We’re just looking forward to getting some good wins on the road this weekend and

moving forward and being prepared for conference and winning some games,” Kramer said.

Barrera said the team will do more scouting of its weekend opponents later in the week, but Wykstra said regardless of the opponent, the team will work hard to come away with the victory.

“It doesn’t matter who we play,” Wykstra said. “We just have to play our game.”

University provides assistance for assault victims, those who want to help Program from Page 3 ensured by ASAP’s 20 peer advocates and interns — students who work the hotline after attending at least 35 hours of training provided by the Counseling Center.

Brittany Bohl, the ASAP graduate assistant, said when students help other students with a sensitive issue like sexual assault, it can be an uncomfortable situation.

“We want students to remain

We’re here for concerned others, too. We try not to reach out; we try to get students to contact us. This system of conducting affairs places no stress on a student, who may or may not be experiencing assault or stalking.

“

— Deana Davies, the ASAP coordinator

classmates,” Bohl said. “Therefore, if a peer advocate recognizes the voice on the other end of the phone, he or she will refer the client to another peer advocate.

This is done to create a professional barrier between classmates and clients. This methodology also ensures that students will not tell their intimate situations to people they work with on a daily basis.”

Additionally, Davies said ASAP is not only for victims of assault; it is also a resource for individuals who may be concerned about a classmate or a friend.

“We’re here for concerned others, too” Davies said. “We try not to reach out; we try to get students to contact us. This system of conducting affairs places no stress on a student, who may or may not be experiencing assault or stalking.”

Davies and Bohl said only the person going through these situations can change his or her own life.

“We don’t get involved in people’s business unless they want us to get involved,” Davies said.

ASAP participates in Sexual Assault Free Environment week during Oct. 4-8. This event is

designed to encourage healthy relationships and includes Take Back the Night, a national march

intended to signify disapproval of unhealthy relationships.

Students who are concerned

about their relationships or the relationships of others can call the ASAP office at 970-351-4040.
