Greeley DDA works to fill empty residents’ forks after noodle theftAwnna [email protected]

Though Greeley may have up-held a ban on recreational mari-juana sales back in June, it didn’t stop a thief from getting the munchies recently.

When someone stole the cheesy macaroni noodles from an $8,000 fork sculpture downtown last weekend, the Downtown De-velopment Authority gave them a chance to redeem themselves.

“It would be [so] awesome if this gets resolved by the culprits doing the right thing and coming forward,” Alison Hamling, direc-tor of downtown experience for the Downtown Development Au-thority, posted on the Downtown

Greeley Facebook page on Sat-urday, August 24. The post even offered the thief a deal: return the noodles by Monday night and only pay damages.

Unfortunately, the offer went unanswered.

While the crime might seem comical and pun worthy—the Greeley Tribune even went so far as to call it “cheesy”—not every-one is laughing.

“The extent of the damage could lead to a felony charge, expulsion from school if they are VWXGHQWV��VHULRXV�ÀQHV�DQG�PRUH�µ�Hamling said on the Facebook page. “It is really quite serious.”

While Hamling could not comment on police work, she FRQÀUPHG� WKDW� WKHUH� LV� QRZ� DQ�

open case concerning the theft. “Police always have access to our surveillance cameras,” she said. “When there is any kind of inci-dent downtown, we can review the footage and so can they.”

On top of causing a stir with law enforcement, the crime made a splash in the news. “I’m not really sure why,” Hamling said, but clearly the missing mac and cheese caught the attention of the public and the media. The story graced the front page of the Gree-ley Tribune two days in a row.

Downtown isn’t letting the stolen macaroni dampen the live-ly mood. In response, this week’s FridayFest, which is sponsored by College Credit Union and See Noodle on page 15

University seeking members for HLC committee

The University of Northern Colorado is currently seeking three faculty or staff members to join the Higher Learning Com-mission Self-Study Committee.

The university initiated a self-assessment in 2011 to prepare for the reaccreditation process in 2015. The goal of the self-study is to “conduct a thorough and can-did self-study of the University of Northern Colorado in relation to the criteria set forth by the Higher Learning Commission.”

The Steering Committee is seeking three members for the fall semester to serve on a team re-viewing Criteria 1: The Mission. The team will ensure the univer-sity’s mission complies with the requirements of the HLC.

UNC appoints a new Director of Engagement

University of Northern Colo-rado Provost Robbyn Wacker recently announced the hiring of Deborah Romero as the Director of Engagement at UNC.

Romero teaches undergradu-ate courses in English as a Second Language, Applied Lin-guistics and Spanish at UNC.

Romero will be responsible for working with the campus community on launching UNC’s Civic and Community Engage-ment strategic plan.

“I am honored for this op-portunity to serve our institution and very much look forward to engaging with faculty, students and others from across campus and our extended communities,” Romero said.

UNC to host a community talk on immigration

On September 12, the Univer-sity of Northern Colorado Alum-ni Association and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences will host a community conversa-tion about immigration in north-ern Colorado.

The discussion will be in the University Center’s Panorama Room from 5-7:30 p.m. The event is free for UNC students.

Priscilla Falcon, a professor of Hispanic studies at UNC, will present an analysis of immigra-tion trends in northern Colorado. Falcon’s analysis will feature in-formation regarding past and cur-rent immigration populations in northern Colorado, as well as the community’s response to increas-ing immigration in the region.

Who’s got their hand in Manziel’s cookie jar? The NCAA. Thoughts from the editorial staff of The MirrorReflects

The Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board : Alexander Armani-Munn, Steven Josephson, Michael Nowels, and Ben Stivers. Email letters to the editor to [email protected].

[email protected]

Imagine being a 20-year old college stu-dent. Got it? Good, that VKRXOGQ·W� EH� WRR� GLIÀFXOW�for many of you.

Now add that every time you turn on the tele-vision, you see your own face accompanied by ana-lysts discussing what you do in minute detail. That PD\�EH�D�ELW�PRUH�GLIÀFXOW�to envision, but okay.

Finally, picture your-self six months later being scrutinized for going to parties, sitting front-row at NBA games and sign-ing autographs.

This is what’s hap-pened to Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Man-ziel over the past year. He went from an unknown player on a marginal FBS football team to the dar-ling of all sports media to the portrait of how fame can spoil something good.

Manziel was a revela-tion last season, his free-

wielding nature taking the college football world by storm, particularly in his Aggies’ defeat of top-ranked Alabama on Nov. 10. He eventually was awarded the Heisman Trophy, which goes to the top player in the nation each season.

In the offseason though, he was seen drunkenly leaving a Uni-versity of Texas fraternity party, apparently after being kicked out for dis-orderly behavior. He was sent home from the Man-nings’ (yes, Peyton and Eli — and Archie too) quarterback camp for missing meetings, report-edly because he was hun-gover.

Finally, and most im-portantly for the NCAA, he signed thousands of autographs for a memo-rabilia broker and was allegedly paid for his time. Under the NCAA’s

exploitative rules, players PD\�QRW�EHQHÀW�IURP�WKHLU�fame; their reward is their scholarship and any other incentive counters their status as amateurs.

But the NCAA was un-able to prove that Man-ziel was paid for his John Hancock, so it decided to suspend him one half of one game for breaking the “spirit of the rule” because he should have known VRPHRQH�HOVH�FRXOG�SURÀW�from his actions. Heaven forbid someone other than the NCAA make money off its indentured servants.

Still though, the NCAA wanted the issue resolved and wanted Manziel on WKH�ÀHOG��+H·V�WKH�DVVRFLD-tion’s big-money player right now. In fact, all this talk about him throughout the offseason, though it was largely negative, did nothing but increase his visibility and drive more money to the NCAA.

If the association want-HG� WR� ÀQG� KLP� JXLOW\� RI�violating its bogus rule, it could have dug deeper. But the NCAA needed Manziel eligible two weeks from now against Alabama so it could sell tickets and memorabilia, something players are not allowed to do. So it hand-ed down a penalty that can’t even be considered a slap on the wrist.

Former Ohio State star quarterback Terrelle Pryor ZDV�VXVSHQGHG�ÀYH�JDPHV�for trading memorabilia for tattoos, and that sus-pension somehow carried over to his NFL career. Then-Oklahoma State top wide receiver Dez Bry-ant was ruled ineligible on Oct. 7, 2009 for the remainder of the season because he didn’t fully disclose his relationship with former NFL star De-ion Sanders to the NCAA.

Both Pryor and Bryant

are black. Some believe that had something to do with the discrepancy in punishment, but I would tend to believe it’s more about the money for the NCAA. America has Johnny Football fever and the receipt to prove it.

By all accounts, Man-ziel has become a royal jerk; he couldn’t help but mimic signing autographs while talking trash to Rice defenders Saturday when KH�GLG�VHH�WKH�ÀHOG��%XW�LI�I’m asking UNC athletes about the situation when they’re waking up at 5 a.m. to lift before class, I doubt he’s the subject of their grumbling.

It’s the NCAA that put him on a pedestal and it’s WKH�1&$$�WKDW�SURÀWV�RII�of them and feeds them the scraps.

The Mirror— September 2, 2013THE MIRROR

Approximately 30 university students gathered on Turner Green Thursday to hear a different perspective on the idea of “YOLO” from Jeff Runyan, director of FOCUS Missions in Denver.

The Bear Catholic Encounter is a pro-gram that holds meaningful speeches by various guest speakers once a month on Thursdays. Guest speakers are usually from the Denver and northern Colorado area. The program started about two years ago and Bear Catholic feels that it has start-ed to develop a strong foothold on UNC’s campus.

In the following months, the Bear Cath-olic Encounter will take place in the Uni-versity Center at 7:00 p.m.; however, the ÀUVW�WDON�RI�WKH�VHPHVWHU�ZDV�VFKHGXOHG�WR�be outdoors to take advantage of favorable weather conditions.

Father Matt Hartley accompanied Run-yan and opened the discussion by enticing the audience with a soft guitar medley.

As the music ceased, Runyan opened the discussion by explaining what the ab-breviation “YOLO” stands for in society. “YOLO” stands for “You Only Live Once.”

Throughout his speech, Runyan encour-DJHG�VWXGHQWV�WR�UHWKLQN�WKH�VLJQLÀFDQFH�RI�“YOLO” and to consider how “YOLO” could serve as a model for leading a whole-some and charitable lifestyle. Runyan shared stories of his own globe-trotting experiences to illustrate how living for the PRPHQW�FDQ�EH�HQOLJKWHQLQJ�DQG�IXOÀOOLQJ�

He explained, in great detail, how he and his friend followed their guide on a hike that ended up being longer than expected. They became lost in the thick forest and had to ÀQG�D�ZD\�RXW��5XQ\DQ�GHFLGHG�WR�ORRN�IRU�the rising sun the next morning as a point of navigation, and the group eventually made it out of the forest.

:KHQ� 5XQ\DQ� ÀQLVKHG� WKH� VWRU\�� KH�FRPSDUHG�OLIH�WR�D�MXQJOH�ÀOOHG�ZLWK�PDQ\�challenges, fears, choices, and adventures. He compared the sun to hope, faith, and guidance, and encouraged students to be their own guides in life.

Other topics of discussion included how to know if you have a good guide, how to live life by giving it fully to others, and how to give the gift of self by following the advice Mother Theresa, who is regarded as an icon of charitable living.

Runyan urged the audience to consider

the needs and feelings of others. When Runyan was questioned about

what inspires him to give the speeches, he said, “I am inspired to inspire others and to share Christ with the world. There’s noth-ing better than seeing lives changed.”

Student who are interested in learn-ing more about Runyan’s work and the travel missions he leads can visit focusmissions.org. FOCUS Missions con-ducts 48 trips every year to almost 30 coun-tries. Applications for upcoming trips open on September 1.

Runyan’s speech drew to a close with the accompaniment of Hartley’s guitar. Students in the audience expressed sat-isfaction with the speech. Many in atten-dance were intrigued by Runyan’s stories and expressed and appreciation for his in-terpretation “YOLO.”

“I liked it. I really liked how Jeff con-nected his experiences with the need we have for God in college.” Junior Biology Pre-med major, Andrew Miller said cheer-fully.

When sophomore Elementary Educa-tion major Valerie Forgue was asked if she felt inspired after hearing Runyan’s speech, she said, “Yes, absolutely. It’s always very humbling to hear his speeches. I want to go out and make a difference in the world by sharing my gifts with others.”

7KH� ÀUVW� ELQJR� JDPH�was on Wednesday August 28 in the University Cen-ter Ballrooms and was used both to entertain and inform students.

The students who are a part of the Center for Peer Education wanted students to know how to identify the dangers of peer pres-sure and partying. Students who are a part of the Cen-ter for Peer Education were able to let students know about the dangers of alcohol

poisoning, practicing safe sex and the new Colorado Safe Haven Law.

The law was made for minors who either have been drinking themselves, have been in the presence of someone who is suffer-ing from alcohol poisoning or suspects that a minor is suffering alcohol poisoning.

The law stipulates that people who alert the po-lice about possible alcohol poisoning or are suspected of suffering from alcohol poisoning will not be suffer consequences like an MIP.

7KH� ÀUVW� ELQJR� QLJKW� RI�the semester saw the UC Ballrooms nearly at capac-ity with students who were eager to win prizes such as UNC t-shirts, sweat-shirts and water bottles in addition to a few more

expensive prizes.“I was excited to see

that they had Phish concert tickets,” said sophomore political science major Shaen Holmes. “It’s nice to see that the Center for Peer Education students are broadening their horizons with different kinds of priz-es.”

Rockies tickets were also given to the very last winner of bingo night.

Between announcements for the winners of the four bingo games, the organiz-ers from the Center for Peer Education shared facts and statistics with students that supported health and well-ness.

The Center for Peer Education will host the next bingo night Wednesday, September 18.

On Thursday the Women’s Resource Center hosted an open house for UNC stu-dents to visit the center located in Scott-Willcoxon Hall and socialize with other students. The event allowed students to participate in six rounds of trivia all related to UNC, the Women’s Resource Center and to women in general with prizes such as blankets and water bottles. The event also provided free food and soda.

Chris Talbot, Program Coordinator and Assistant Professor of Women’s Studies at UNC, made a brief speech about the pro-gram and the minors offered in women’s studies. She described women’s studies as

looking at gender as a category of analysis in classes such as “Women in Pop Culture” and many others. Next year, Women’s studies will be known as Gender Studies to more accurately describe the program.

For female students, the Women’s re-source center provides events such as the open house, take back the night and many others throughout the semester and school year. The center also provides services such as free printing, books on issues re-lating to women, a comfy study area and a breast feeding area set up with the help of the dietetics department for the students who are also parents here on campus.

The Women’s resource center also hosts the Stryker Institute, an honors program for non-traditional and underrepresented

groups of women at the university. Lor Vang, a senior business manage-

ment and psychology major, describes the Stryker Institute as “ a safe, non competi-tive environment.”

Students can visit the Women’s Re-source Center to receive guidance on per-sonal and scholastic issues while also ben-HÀWWLQJ� IURP� SURJUDPV�� GLVFXVVLRQV�� DQG�materials about women’s issues. According to the center’s website, “The Center pro-motes leadership, celebrates the achieve-ments of women, and raises awareness on the status of women.”

The Women’s Resource Center also hosts the annual Women’s Conference at UNC and the annual Inspiring Women Awards to recognize the extraordinary

contributions of outstanding women at the University of Northern Colorado. Each year, the Inspiring Women Awards honor one female UNC student, one female UNC faculty member, and one female UNC staff member.

Senior Journalism major Jasmine Nicol describes the Women’s Resource Center as “ a nice place to feel like you’re at home”.

The Women’s Resource Center is lo-cated in Scott-Willcoxon Hall on 10th Ave. Students can contact the Women’s Re-source Center by phone at 970-351-1492. Students are also welcome to stop in at the FHQWHU�GXULQJ�RIÀFH�KRXUV�0RQGD\�)ULGD\�from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

The event was a great

opportunity for students

seeking to learn something

new while also having a

good time. As such, Swing

Club offers students a fun

and relaxed environment to

learn a new skill in the com-

pany of friends and fellow

students. Swing dancing is

also a favorable alternative

for students who struggle

with other forms of dance

or just simply do not enjoy

more contemporary styles.

“Everyone’s here to

learn; no one judges any-

one. We’re all open to

each other; we’re all mak-

ing mistakes,” said Swing

Club Vice President Javiera

Pizarro. The occasional

misstep is remedied by nu-

merous friendly faces ready

and eager to jump in and

help.

Swing Club welcomes

seasoned dancers as well

as newcomers. Whether

you’ve never danced be-

fore, or you’re a swing

dance champion, all are

welcome at Swing Club.

Learning to swing dance

is far easier than many

people think. Melissa Tim-

mermeyer, vice president

of Swing Club, insists that

most people can learn a

dance within three weeks.

Kristin Wood, a fourth

year Swing Club member

says, “you meet a lot of

fun people [in Swing Club]

and you learn things at a lot

would.”

Swing Club offers more

than just free lessons. Each

week, when the evening’s

lesson concludes, partici-

pants have the opportunity

to practice their new moves

with friends and more ex-

perienced dancers.

Swing dancing has a

rich history that sets it apart

from other traditional forms

of dance.

“It has a real history to it

because it started from the

twenties and it went into

says Kristen Wood.

Swing Club teaches mul-

tiple types of swing such as

the Jitterbug, the Charles-

ton, and the Lindy hop.

“Swing dancing is kind

of an old kind of dance . . . A

lot of people thought it was

dying but we bring it back

to life . . . Not only do [col-

Volleyball sweeps Cal Poly and Baylor at home

The opening weekend of UNC volleyball fea-tured Cal Poly and Bay-lor, with the University of Northern Colorado win-QLQJ�ERWK�DIIDLUV�LQ�LWV�ÀUVW�two matches of the North-ern Colorado/Colorado State Tournament.

Opening up the season against Cal Poly (1-2), the Bears (2-0) took the match in four sets, with game scores of : 25-15, 25-17, 22-25, 25-18. The four-set victory was fol-lowed by a sweep, defeat-ing Baylor (0-3), 25-20, 25-16, 25-21.

UNC was strong for three of the four sets on Friday night, with the third set controlled entire-ly by Cal Poly.

In the match against Cal Poly, freshman setter Ashley Guthrie had her ÀUVW�FDUHHU�GRXEOH�GRXEOH�with 45 assists and 10 digs, making the adjust-ment from high school to college look easy.

“You wouldn’t even know she’s a freshman when she’s playing,” sophomore outside hit-ter Kendra Cunnigham VDLG��´(YHQ�VLQFH�WKH�ÀUVW�day of preseason, she has gotten so much better. I clearly trust her; there’s no doubt she can do what she does.”

Three Bears had dou-ble-digit kills against Baylor, with senior out-side hitter Alyssa Wilson, junior middle blocker Andrea Spaustat and Cun-nigham recording 12, 10 and 13, respectively. Be-tween those three, there were only 4 attack errors.

“Most teams this early in the season are depen-dent on one or two hitters — their veterans, the play-ers they are used to,” head coach Lyndsey Oates said. “For us to be this balanced this early is really good.”

Part of the balance has been because of how quickly Cunnigham has adjusted to being the big player on the outside and her 35 total attacks both

Friday and Saturday. Cun-nigham has been the big outside to come in and bring her game to a posi-tion dominated by Kelley Arnold the last four years.

“Kelley was such a good player, and a good player on her own,” Cun-nigham said. “I will never be able to be what she ZDV�� EXW� ,� FDQ� GHÀQLWHO\�bring what I am to the game.

Spaustat put up nine GLJV�� ÀQLVKLQJ� MXVW� RQH�VKRUW� RI� KHU� ÀUVW� GRXEOH�double of the season. Se-nior libero Merideth John-son led the game with 16 digs. Spaustat and Cun-QLJKDP�ÀQLVKHG�ZLWK�QLQH�and eight, respectively.

“Merideth is our leader on the court, and so that being her position, she’s going to make sure (de-fense) stays the focus on the court,” Oates said. “Her leadership is really contagious, defensively, and our team responds to that.”

Oates also said defense is the identity for the team

this year. It was apparent on Sat-

urday as Baylor was kept to a total attack percent-age of only .164 overall in

their match against North-ern Colorado on Saturday.

UNC’s soccer team went 1-1 in Omaha over the weekend, beating Nebraska-Omaha 4-0 Fri-day night and losing to Creighton 4-1 Saturday afternoon.

In Friday’s match, the Uni-versity of Northern Colorado (1-3) was led by two players – sophomore forward Essence Or-tiz-Laneir on offense and senior goalkeeper Natalie D’Adamio on defense.

Ortiz-Laneir opened the scor-ing for the Bears on a 32nd-minute penalty shot after being fouled in the 18-yard box.

For UNC defensive end Kendall Gregory-McGhee, it’s all in the genes. His grandfather, Ben Gregory, played running back for the University of Nebras-ka, earning a spot on the school’s all-century team. His father was an All-American linebacker for the University of Colorado before heading to the NFL, where he played for the Gi-ants, Oilers and Bengals.

Kendall has more than simple heredity going for him though. He brings a high level of intensity, knowledge, and dedication to a University of Northern Colorado team looking to EXLOG�RQ�D�VWURQJ�ÀQLVK�ODVW�season.

He has already made an impression on the coaching staff throughout preseason practices. Head coach Ear-nest Collins Jr. says he is thrilled to have the 6-foot-5 lineman on his side.

“He brings experience,” Collins began, “He’s out helping the freshmen, learning the plays, work-ing on technique, things like that. He’s brought

experience, knowledge, and athleticism.”

Gregory-McGhee spent his high school days in Au-rora, playing for Cherokee Trail. He not only starred as a defense end, but also as a punter. He was named all-city, all-state, and all-league for both positions. Because of his success as a high school player, Gregory-McGhee was a highly-touted recruit and ultimately decided to play defensive end for the University of Minnesota.

After redshirting in 2009, Gregory-McGhee began his run at Minnesota. He played in 12 games in 2010, and earned the starting job Octo-ber 16 against Purdue. Just a short year later, Gregory-McGhee was set to line up on the other side of the ball

at tight end for the Gophers before an injury caused him to miss the entire 2011 sea-son. Gregory-McGhee left Minnesota for UNC and its master’s program in sports pedagogy, as well as a roster spot on the defensive line.

Gregory-McGhee says he is pleased to be back in his home state with his fam-ily by his side.

“I’m so happy I got to come home,” he said, “I re-ally wanted to come home and be around my family and have them as a support system.”

Collins isn’t the only one who has noticed Gregory-McGhee. Team-mate and fellow defensive end Gavin Miller says he has enjoyed the competi-tion that Gregory-McGhee brings to the University of

Northern Colorado. “He’s picked up the level

of competition,” said Mill-er, “He just brings speed, intensity, knowledge. He’s a great football player.”

Gregory-McGhee is KHDGHG� LQWR� KLV� ÀIWK� \HDU�of college football. It’s that experience that could ulti-mately make him a valuable

player for this UNC team. ´/LNH� DQ\� RWKHU� ÀIWK�

year, I’ve seen a lot of plays, a lot of different teams, a lot of reps, I know a lot of the tendencies of offenses,” said Gregory-McGhee, “A lot of the older guys at Min-nesota taught me, and I feel like it’s my job to teach the guys here.”

UNC didn’t respond until senior Dave Eden put a kick through the uprights to tie the game 2:40 into the second quar-WHU��7KH�%HDUV�ÀQDOO\�IRXQG�WKHLU�UK\WKP� RQ� WKH� ÀQDO� GULYH� RI� WKH�half, driving 91 yards in ten plays DQG� ÀQLVKLQJ� WKH� GULYH� ZLWK� D�touchdown on a slant from senior quarterback Seth Lobato to senior wide receiver Will Jefferson Jr.., who fought a Langston defender from the 7-yard line to the goal line.

Stimphil’s scores and another by freshman running back Dari-us Graham supplied more than enough for the UNC victory. Gra-ham ran for 93 yards on 17 car-ries in his collegiate debut.

Collins said he was impressed by Graham’s natural talent, but that he has work to do.

“The kid has natural ability,” Collins said. “We’ve just got to continue to teach him that he

can’t bounce everything to the outside because they’re as fast as you are now. You’re 230 pounds and sometimes you’ve got to run some people over and keep go-ing. We got him doing that a little bit in the second half but he’s go-ing to be a special player for us and it’s going to be good to have a 1-2 punch in there.”

Stimphil’s big day was a boost WR� /REDWR��ZKR� ÀQLVKHG� WKH� GD\�17-of-30 passing for 314 yards and three touchdowns. Lobato said he was prepared for Langs-ton’s exotic defensive looks, which included some formations with only three down linemen and two linebackers.

“We prepared for a number of different things that we thought they might do so once we got out here and saw their looks, we had to make the necessary adjust-ments,” he said. “I think we start-HG�WR�GR�WKDW�WKHUH�ODWH�LQ�WKH�ÀUVW�half and on into the second half.”

Defensively, senior linebacker Conor Sparacio starred with the ÀUVW� WZR� LQWHUFHSWLRQV� RI� KLV� FD-reer and seven tackles. The other members of the linebacking corps led the Bears in tackles as fresh-PDQ�0D[�)ORUHV�ÀQLVKHG�ZLWK��

and sophomore JaQueal Walker racked up 14.

Sparacio said his interceptions were the result of sticking to the game plan devised to counteract habits of Langston’s offense.

“I got some depth and I read him and he just threw me the ball both times,” he said. “It’s just a tendency that we saw and a ten-dency that was true. I mean, I don’t have the best hands but to-day I looked like I have the great-est hands.”

Walker, Flores, Graham and Stimphil all found themselves thrust into key positions because of suspensions to starters.

Suspensions of linebackers Clarence Bumpas and Leilon Willingham, running back Tro-maine Dennis and defensive linemen Devontae Chapple and Chris Urbaniak for violations of team rules last spring were not announced until after the game. 8UEDQLDN�PLVVHG�WKH�ÀUVW�KDOI�DQG�Collins played coy when asked if the suspensions would continue any further, saying only, “we’ll see next week.”

different tempo than that of game three against Cal Poly Friday, and UNC pre-vented a comeback attempt from happening Saturday.

“I think it was because how we reacted (Friday) in game three,” Wilson said. “We didn’t come out as strong as we did, and we knew that might be our tendency, but that’s not what we want to go to, so

we wanted to make sure to stop it now rather than con-tinue it.”

There was an obvious difference between Bay-lor and Cal Poly, but the way UNC played didn’t change. Aggressive plays both defensively and of-fensively were key to both wins, and UNC may have had a slight advantage as Baylor played Cal Poly on Saturday morning while the Bears had the opportu-

nity to watch.“So we could see their

tendencies, but we just played volleyball the way that we know,” Wilson said.

UNC hopes to continue its momentum at 7 p.m. Tuesday when the team travels to Fort Collins to take on in-state foe CSU. Colorado State (2-0) de-feated both Cal Poly and Baylor in three straight sets.

Attacking offense helps propel Bears to successful weekend

Beloved Greeley Tribune writer missed after passing awaySchuman from page 9

wheelchair due to his muscular dystrophy and a wry smile across his face.

Over his time covering Uni-versity of Northern Colorado sports, Schuman, 49, developed strong relationships with various people in the athletics depart-ment, particularly sports infor-mation director Heather Ken-nedy, who said she spent 8-10 hours per week with Schuman at numerous sporting events.

Kennedy said she’ll remember how supportive Schuman was when she had health issues of her own, battling frequent back sur-geries.

“I think what I remember the most about Matt was the sup-port that he had for me when I was going through rough times with my back and being in pain every day and living on the med-ication,” she said. “He was just

so supportive. He knew how it could affect you if you let it and he just reminded me to stay posi-tive.”

In his youth, Schuman was the poster boy for the Muscular Dys-trophy Association, appearing on telethons for the organization. He also was recognized nation-ally in 2003 for a series he wrote on Weld County residents with disabilities.

Schuman worked at The Mir-ror, covering intramural sports from 1984-85. After graduating from UNC with a degree in jour-nalism in 1986, Schuman was hired on at the Tribune later that year.

Colorado Springs Gazette sports editor Jim O’Connell worked with Schuman at the Greeley Tribune from 1989-1995. O’Connell said an endur-ing characteristic Schuman held was his toughness to persevere through his physical limitations,

remembering Schuman leaving WKH� 7ULEXQH� RIÀFH� ODWH� DW� QLJKW��even in the winter.

“At least a few times, he got stuck either in deep snow or in cracks in the road or sidewalk, or whatever, and he’d have to sit there and wait and shiver until someone could help him,” he said. “This was before cell phones, of course. The thought of that little guy stuck out on the streets of Greeley during a snow-storm makes me choke up even QRZ�� ,Q� DGGLWLRQ� WR� EHLQJ� D� ÀQH�journalist and great person, he’s the toughest guy I know.”

Johnstown Breeze owner Matt Lubich crossed paths with Schuman at The Mirror and said what he respected most about Schuman was his objectivity.

“A lot of times with sports-writers, or beat writers of any type, they get more worried about whether they’re going to be buds with the people they cov-

er,” he said in an email. “They get off on being ‘inside’ like that. Matt never did that. I am a big believer in the fact that you can be friends with people, friendly, but that you make it clear, in that friendliness, that you are gonna ask what you have to ask.”

Schuman’s funeral service was held on August 16 at UNC’s Foundation Hall, and the build-ing was nearly at capacity. Many SHRSOH� DIÀOLDWHG�ZLWK�81&� DWK-letics came to pay their respects, including nearly all of the foot-ball team and staff, players in uniform. He not only had a posi-tive relationship with the staff and student-athletes he covered, but with the student reporters who covered stories with him.

Former Mirror editor-in-chief and current sports information assistant Parker Cotton said Schuman was always helpful to him and other student journalists.

“Though I doubt he knew it,

Matt was a great mentor to me,” Cotton said. “I picked his brain several times over the better part of four years, so I would have to say I’m indebted to Matt for his help in my development as a writer and a journalist. And I know he was that way for writ-ers at The Mirror before and after my time there. He helped generations of student journalists in a special way. He was always someone to count on and a great guy to share a laugh and a press box with.”

Taking over the UNC beat for Schuman is Sam Mustari, who covered Bear sports for the Tri-bune before Schuman took over in 2008.

As a member of the newspa-per, UNC, Greeley and disabled communities, Schuman made considerable impact in his time. He will be sorely missed by many, including us here at The Mirror sports department.

features the Jaden Carlson Band, will now

include the “Naked Fork Food Drive” from

5-10 p.m. Greeley residents can bring non-

perishable food or money to the fork statue

on the 9th Street Plaza to donate to the

Weld Food Bank.

“It literally popped into my head Mon-

day evening when I was sitting here look-

ing at that empty fork, and it just really

looked sad to me and gave me this vision of

forks with no food on them,” said Hamling.

“(I) think about Weld County residents who

face that every day: no food on their forks.”

Hamling said she is happy to turn it

around and do something positive and

helpful, even because of a negative experi-

ence.

Hopefully, she said, the Naked Fork

Food Drive will help put food on the forks

of Weld County residents who need it.
