I n Denver, from dreadlocks to business suits, diversity rang down the streets of
Capitol Hill as generations stood together.� e nationwide event, coined March for
Bernie through the Facebook community page, started in Cheesman Park, Jan. 23 around noon. According to volunteer Phillip Pitkin and event host Alyssa Delude, over 1,000 participants attended the event.
“I am here today to get the word out about Bernie Sanders and about caucusing,” 52-year-old event volunteer DeAnn Jungers said. “If you are a supporter of your candidate, you need to go to the caucusing and voice your
support there. From there, that candidate has the opportunity of going to the primary.”
� e precinct caucus, which determines the party’s nomination, takes place March 1. � e event included supporters of the Democratic Party coming together as a neighborhood and discussing the values the community would like to see in o� ce.
Outside the capital hundreds chanted and roared, “� is is what democracy looks like,” while vehicles honked and bystanders whistled and cheered.
Supporters march for Sanders

<<<From Cover“What he speaks about, he has been
speaking about for thirty-forty years,” Jungers said. “He’s a man that stands for his convictions.”
� e Senator holds the record for longest independent politician in o� ce. Sanders began his career as the mayor of Burlington, Vermont from 1981-1989.
� e March for Bernie quickly shed
its commercial name. To supporters like 26-year-old Jessica Janowicz, the even’t quickly became known as “� e Revolution.”
“� e gentleman is incredible. He’s one of my favorites as far as a progressive candidate,” said Colorado State Director for Veterans for Bernie and guest speaker Chris Ward.
For 26-year-old Democrat Chelsea Frion, distinct di� erences between
candidates Hillary Clinton and Sanders have led her to support Sanders.
“It all comes down to the money. He’s in it for the right reasons and she’s getting paid to say yes to things, big companies are in her pocket,” Frion said.
Clinton harbors the � nancial lead with 2 million dollars over Sanders in campaign funds. Notable donors of Clinton’s campaign are corporations and
media outlets, such as Citigroup Inc. and Time Warner Cable. In contrast, support for Sanders consists primarily of workers’ unions such as the United Auto Workers or the National Education Association.
“I am 70 years old,” attendee Cara Anderson said. “I’ve been a democrat my whole life and there’s never been a candidate like Bernie.”
A new policy from the Auraria Higher Education Center will allow smoking in nine areas througout Auraria.
E� ective January 2016, the policy is the resul t of an initiative started by the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. � e SACAB collaborated with the campus health clinic to come up with a proposal they presented last year to the Board of Directors.
“� e change to the campus came about when students started to complain about the smokers on campus. As a result, SACAB brought the question forth to the students. At that point students were able to vote whether or not they wanted smoking zones
A� er a slight delay, the Tivoli is once again serving in-house beer from the tap on campus, o� ering new opportunities for customers and students alike.
Opening back in August, the Tivoli Brewing Company sought to carry on the decades-long tradition of beer cra� ing by o� ering local beer to its customers. Technical issues kept them from serving their own beers up until Jan. 12.
“� at’s what’s holding up kegging, just small little kinks to work out to o� er the best possible product,” said Stephanie Rayman, general manager of � e Tivoli Brewing Company. “We’ve been pouring the beers, but they were being made elsewhere.”
She doesn’t regret the delays though, as it allows them to o� er their customers a better beer.
� is is also good news for MSU Denver’s brewing courses. Partnered with the Tivoli Brewing Company, the Department of Hospitality, Tourism and Events has worked with students to give
them a hands-on experience with the many aspects of beer cra� ing.
“I think that MSU is on the cutting edge of the cra� brewing movement,” said Scott Kerkmans, a brewing professor at MSU Denver.
� e brewery sta� is just as enthusiastic about helping aid student participation.
“� e point of being here is to learn how to brew and be successful with it,” Rayman said.
� e brewery is willing to assist students with their own recipes. For their � nal, students can make their own cra� beer using the campus brewery equipment. Should the recipe � nd popularity during its trial run it could also make its way to the tap. Students receive experience in all aspects of brewing through this process.
“What MSU is doing right is we’re including hospitality, engineering and business alongside the science to make sure students can write their own ticket once they’re in the beer world,” Kerkmans said.
Customers seem supportive of this system, as well, and they’re more than happy to give any in-
house brewed beer a shot.“I think that’s awesome,” John
Wilson, an MSU Denver student said. “More power to them.”
If the students don’t receive customer approval, the brewery is always willing to discuss students’ recipes and help improve them.
“We love sitting down with people and talking about beer,” Rayman said. “It’s why we’re here, it’s what we do.”
Smokers confined to zones
House brews go to tap at Tivoli Brewery
Tivoli Brew Master Dieter Foerstner moved from Los Angeles to Denver in Nov. 2014 to help build the brew house and found himself inspired by the oppertunity to work with Auraria students.

The nine new smoking zones at Auraria are designated on this map from AHEC
on campus,” said SACAB representative Amanda Pippitt.
Nine smoking zones may seem like a small amount to accommodate the entire tri-institutional, 150-acre campus. However, the locations of the zones are strategic.
“� ey [SACAB] were very thoughtful as to trying to place several throughout campus in proximity to the various neighborhoods,” said AHEC Chief Executive O� cer Barb Weiske. “� ey also considered such things as location of air intakes on buildings’ main passageways.”
� ere were no smoking areas prior to the initiative, only designated non-smoking areas at the entrance of the Auraria Health Center and within 25 feet of a building entrance.
Under the new policy traditional tobacco cigarettes, e-cigarettes, electronic vaping
devices, personal vaporizers and electronic nicotine delivery systems should only be used in designated smoking areas.
Marijuana consumption is still prohibited in any form on campus grounds.
� e policy applies to students, employees, contractors and all visitors to the campus.
Students who violate the new policy will be referred to their institution’s student conduct o� ce.
“Each institution has a code of conduct which requires, among many things, that campus policies be abided by. Each institution would thus determine the appropriate disciplines under their conduct requirements,” Weiske said.
Contractors will be referred to their employers and visitors will be required to leave campus if they violate the new policy.

With the fast growing phenomenon of vape pens in our culture, there isn’t a place you can’t go without seeing a person trying to look cool vaping, strutting their stuff around campus.
Vape pens are the new hip thing that everyone who uses them thinks is “the shit.” Without inhaling all of the toxins in a
traditional cigarette, vape pens are the new and improved
alternatives to smoking cigarettes. As I look around at my fellow
classmates, I can’t help but cringe when I see a massive cloud come out of someone’s mouth after exhaling the vapor. I can admit that some of the things you can do with the smoke, like making the cliché “O” and twirling smoke around can be pretty fun, but seriously it can get old.
In 2008, when the vape pens were first introduced as a safer and better alternative to smoking, they reluctantly forgot to mention some malfunctions that have happened.
A fact that most consumers don’t know is that vape pens have an ingredient called propylene glycol in them which is used to give you thicker clouds to do all of those “fancy” smoke tricks with, but when heated at high temperatures it can convert into toxic nanoparticles wreaking
havoc on your respiratory organs. Propylene glycol is also found in antifreeze. So, saying that vaping is a healthy smoking option is not entirely true.
Vape pens seem to be a little healthier for you than the real thing, but what happens when one of those little suckers blows up in your face? I’ve heard of many incidents of vape pens blowing up in people’s faces, leaving scars and a lot of damage.
While most users of the vape pen use it as an alternative way to satisfy their nicotine addiction, there are others that just use vaping for the taste of the many flavors that are offered.
This is something I may never understand, but is it really necessary to inhale something into your lungs for just the flavor and hype of it all? Why wouldn’t you just eat something that tastes like the flavor you want?
Inhaling something into your body as a dubiously healthier
alternative to cigarettes seems reckless and self destructive.
Being such a new product without all of the unknowns, they still seem to be very popular and they are sadly still gaining in popularity.
Facebook and Instagram have been flooded with videos, photos and even memes about vaping.
This seems to be something that will not go away for some time now. Everywhere I seem to be, there is nothing but vape pens around or people asking the one question that makes me want to rip the hair out of my head, “Bro, do you vape?”
There must be something else coming that will be the new hype around campus and hopefully it comes soon because quite frankly bro, vaping is not cool.
The Oscars are incredibly white again this year and social media blew up about it. In an ideal world the color of one’s skin wouldn’t matter, but we don’t live in an ideal world. We live in a world where who we are as individuals and as members of a society matters.
The most common responses to the #OscarsSoWhite have been: “Well, maybe minorities just weren’t good enough,” and “Well they don’t nominate white folks at the BET Awards.” Both responses to the topic ignore the big picture: Representation matters. Our history within entertainment has rarely valued people of color.
The real question is, who gets to determine if minorities are good enough? When whites are rejected for a job and a person of color ends up getting it, suggesting that perhaps the white candidate “wasn’t good enough,” never occurs. In fact, the opposite always happens. Instead, people largely assume the person of color must
not have been good enough and that they only could’ve succeeded based on their race.
The Oscar contenders and winners are predominantly voted on by older white men and they are the ones assessing merit.
It is not objective; it is a matter of preference. It’s easy to overlook minority characters when you can’t identify with them.
2015 was a really diverse year. Movies like “Straight Outta Compton” and “Creed” surprised critics by their lack of nominations. Both were met with praise from critics and diverse audiences, whites included. Idris Elba’s role in “Beasts of No Nation” has been talked about so much that bringing him up feels redundant. If white people are trying to rationalize that minority films weren’t good enough, critics and audiences disagree.
“Creed” did manage to snag a nod...for Sylvester Stallone. The movie was good enough to honor the white man in it, but not the black man who starred in it, or the black man who wrote and directed it.
It’s hard for whites to think something like merit is subjective. More than that, whites feel they can’t acknowledge that even they like to see themselves represented. White people (especially white males) have never had to go far to find racial representation. It never
occurs to white audiences they’re being pandered to, because they’re white. It only occurs to them that such movies are “for everybody.” Whiteness is never considered.
Now let’s talk about BET. If white people won’t represent or give credit to people of color, who will? People of color, of course. No one needs to be reminded that white people perform well, or that white performances are valued. White people aren’t ignored at the BET Awards, either.
It makes sense that black people would want to honor black people. White people have been patting themselves on the back and honoring each other for centuries while people of color are constantly deemed “unworthy” of greatness based on a social structure that still sees anything but whiteness as inherently inferior.
The BET Awards suck, by the way. They’re one of the few places where blacks are awarded without having to play a game of “Token Waldo.” BET isn’t the best, but sometimes minorities are forced to accept representation when it’s there because that’s just how scarce it is in comparison to white representation. Subpar minority representation becomes “good enough,” by default.
Ultimately this raises the question, why are they separating themselves? The question is asked as though separation was something people of color chose for themselves.
Entertainment was once a
much more segregated institution than most of us can remember. Even now directors and producers are hesitant to create entertainment that focuses on people of color for fear that white audiences wouldn’t watch it.
Certainly people of color were allowed on networks, but only in small numbers, and the entertainment in question still had to be centered on white characters concentrating on their goals. BET and networks like it were a response to that segregation. People of color didn’t separate themselves; they were already separated out of mainstream entertainment before slowly being integrated in.
It is hard for white people to see it that way because they’ve never had to think about representation.
Whiteness is the norm. Certainly white people can complain about BET, but there are several other TV channels and movies that pander to white audiences.
Minorities having one godawful channel is nothing compared to the hundreds of other channels that were made with white audiences in mind. #OscarSoWhite matters because in entertainment white people are never forgotten.
How can aspiring actors, actresses, directors and producers of color hope to be successful if the message they receive is: “Your success is worth nothing?”

Directed by William Brent Bell (also known for “The Devil Inside” and “Stay Alive”) and written by Stacey Menear, “The Boy” is a tale sure to keep audiences at the edge of their seats in undivided suspense.
Greta Evans (played by Lauren Cohan of “The Walking Dead”), desperately attempting to escape an abusive relationship, travels to Europe. There she accepts a nanny position working for a prosperous British couple, who live in an isolated mansion deep in the English countryside. Upon her arrival, she meets Mr. and Mrs. Heelshire (played by Jim
Norton and Diana Hardcastle) who introduce her to their son.
However, he is no ordinary boy. He is odd and peculiar but most of all, he’s a vintage porcelain doll.
Greta is uncertain about taking the job, assuming the couple might very well have a few loose screws. Though, considering the substantial pay, she agrees to watch their so-called son while they are away for a few months on holiday.
The Heelshires claim the boy has rejected many nannies before her and has chosen her. She is handed a list of instructions on how to take care of the boy when the elderly couple leave the mansion.
The mansion itself holds many secrets which slowly manifest into supernatural occurrences. With the assistance of a local grocer named Malcolm (Rupert Evans of
“The Man in the High Castle” and “The Village”), they unravel the mystery behind the cold, glassy stare of the boy.
“The Boy” is a great gothic thriller filmed in Victoria, British Columbia.
The mansion takes on a personality of its own, creating uneasiness, mounting dread and doom, while the plot contains many twists and turns.
It was ripe with potential but it didn’t deliver as powerful of a punch as it could have. Nonetheless, there are a few hair-raising moments.
The character development and their background stories were a bit vague, although Lauren Cohan gives an excellent performance as the nanny.
Still, audiences would enjoy the creepy effect of this mysterious chiller and its gothic style.

Mackie isn’t dying, but he isn’t exactly alive either. 16 years ago, he was left in a crib in the town of Gentry, as a replacement for the human baby that was stolen and taken to Mayhem, the town of all things dead found beneath Gentry. When his classmate’s baby sister is stolen, he knows he needs to return to help get her back.
As it begins to unfold, the plot is gruesome and creepy but at the same time, it’s human and emotional. It creates a feeling of disturbing unease laced with
sentimentality that makes the novel memorable and difficult to put down.
“The Replacement” is a unique story that can’t be easily compared to anything else available. Rooted deep in mythology and legends, it’s a blend of horror, suspense, romance and coming of age, resulting in a solid noteworthy novel. It’s a strong standalone, making it easily accessible for readers regardless of how much free time they have to read.
The character development is one of the best aspects, creating people who feel real without ever needing to be told exactly who they are or what they are like. The book guides readers through action, dialogue and character growth.
Readers will feel as though they are hopping back and forth between
these towns themselves. The settings are carefully crafted to feel inexplicably familiar and cozy, even though they are also written as risky and terrifying places.
The writing style itself is rhythmic and poetic without ever becoming overwhelming or feeling too magical. It’s down to earth but creates a vivid image of everything in the novel.
Overall, it’s bold, refreshing and makes the reader want to continue reading the story even after it has ended.
When a musical act raises energy in an audience through their vocals alone, they have achieved a certain degree of talent.
With the absence of any type of instrumentals to carry the weight of one musician over the other, each person in a vocal ensemble carries an equal amount of power.
This was revealed in full force with The Filharmonic’s performance at Johnson & Wales Universit, January 19th.
The vocal pop ensemble, which consists of seven Filipino teenagers, entered the national spotlight after winning NBC’s “The Sing-Off,” that resulted in a national tour and a feature in the movie “Pitch Perfect 2”. The Filharmonic are no strangers to delivering the exciting type of stage presence you’d expect in a popular pop or hip hop group.
When the lights dimmed and
the curtains were drawn, the seven singers immediately jumped into tight, choreographed dances, beginning with a cover of Nick Jonas’s “Chains.”
One of the first impressive aspects of the performance was the group’s exemplary technique of dividing harmony between each singer. While they proved to be naturals at dividing pitch, the true spectacle was their execution.
The group came through with some originals as well as covers, including their hit single off their new album “Motown Fillie,” which featured flashy falsetto harmony from VJ Rosales and Joe Caigoy.
Next, the group jumped into the song “Flashlight” from the soundtrack of “Pitch Perfect 2”.
The Johnson and Wales performance marks The Filharmonic’s first show in their first large scale national tour.
“We are very excited to be here. This is a very special night for us because this is our first stop on our Get Up and Go tour, which will be our first official big tour around the country,” Jules Cruz said.
Excitment radiated from each of the seven singers.
“I’m definitely excited to go to the places that we’ve never been to before,” Joe Caigoy said.
The group ended the night with two more originals from their recent album without ever breaking a sweat. Each one of the singers urged every member of the audience to get on their feet and sing along with them.
With the charm to match the talent, it was hard not to go along with their likeable stage antics. Between their wide array of singing techniques and their lively stage presence, The Filharmonic successfully delivered a memorable performance for students and faculty alike.

thorough recap of the previous nine seasons. Although it would be great if viewers could watch all 202 episodes, it isn’t necessary.
On Jan. 24, fans tuned in for what was arguably one of the most anticipated television premieres.
Longtime fans of “The X-Files” were likely comforted by the familiar opening credits, which have stayed relatively consistent throughout the series.
The premiere of season 10 quickly set the tone for the rest of the episode: nostalgia (for better or worse) mashing up with the present.
Technology has given “The X-Files” a new playing field. The visual effects were clean and sharp, something that longtime fans weren’t always so accustomed to. (Try thinking back on the episode “Space,” where they tried to superimpose an image of an angry moon monster onto a man’s head.)
The show was built on controversy, and it gained a cult following by building off the success of shows like “The Twilight
Zone,” and by exploring the human desire to seek truth in the unknown.
The premiere had familiar tropes, but it also made it clear that this is the modern world. At one point in the show, Obama was on a late night talk show discussing UFOs.
The show was always about exploring controversies and the premier played this up.
In this episode, a conservative talk show host named Tad O’Malley (Joel McHale), who goes looking for Mulder and Scully to show them something: the truth. He takes them to a supposed alien abductee which sets in motion a dangerous chain of events.
As for the chemistry between the two former agents, something that drew fans to
the show and kept them wanting more, is definitely on shaky ground. Where the two agents would normally refer to each other by last name, a sign of how close they are, Mulder at one point in the premiere called her Dana.
The episode was full of the little heartbreaks that come with the progression of time, like when the viewer first heard the word “former” in front of agent Scully, and when Mulder hinted at them living together and then deciding against it. He looked ragged and worn down, where Scully was taking care of herself and working at a hospital. It wasn’t clear what Mulder was doing, but one thing was clear - he hasn’t stepped foot in his old office for a long time. When the door was opened, the iconic “I Want to Believe” poster lay on the floor.
The premiere takes modern worries like drones, oil companies and government spying and amplifies them for its own purpose. The episode played on existing conspiracies about 9/11 and data surveillance and explored that framework, emphasizing a distrust of government that has manifested through the shows nine series run.
The long monologues about government control of the population through consumerism felt a little heavy-handed, but not out of touch with the shows past. Mulder is ever the believer, Scully again the voice of reason and science.
At the end of the episode, two things were clear: We’re closer to the truth than ever, and now is the perfect time to re-open “The X-Files.”
screaming at the top of his lungs to dramatically moaning at the bottom of his register, he harnesses his voice as if it were any other instrument in the recording.
The lyrics in the majority of the songs highlight certain characters that Segall references numerous times throughout the track listing, giving “Emotional Mugger” a slightly conceptual quality.
For example, in “Mandy Cream” Segall screams “I heard you talk about Candy Sam,” which references the character in the song, “Candy Sam.”
These lyrical connections are found throughout the album and make it that much more interesting.
However, Segall still manages to mix things up by providing some clever social commentary in songs like “Californian Hills” where he sings, “Fingers on the post of their parents’ alienation.
From the histories of western civilization.” It’s these moments where Segall expertly blends the creepy portraits of these characters and their imagined world with his own witty commentary that the best lyrical moments of his album shine.
Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) have crash-landed into the 21st century.
“My name is Fox Mulder,” the cult favorite former FBI agent began, and longtime fans rejoiced.
With more than 10 years off the air and 14 years since the agents were working on the x-files (cases deemed unsolvable by the FBI), the premier gave a quick but

“Ride Along 2” is a formulaic sequel that provides good laughs, but doesn’t take any risks.
The story picks up a short time after the last movie. Ben Barber (Kevin Hart) is now an officer on his probationary period and is trying to prove his worth, particularly to his future brother-in-law Detective James Payton (Ice Cube).
After a drug bust exposes a big operation based in Miami, Barber and his fiancee convince Payton to let him help solve the case and show that he has what it takes to be a great officer.
What follows is a standard buddy cop film complete with situational, slapstick and opposites attract comedy in spades.
Just like in the first film, Kevin Hart’s manic style and Ice Cube’s signature toughness work well together.
There are occasional moments where this chemistry can be too much, but considering the amount of jokes made in the movie, it’s really not much of a problem and it even helps diversify the scenes.
What brings the film down is that it doesn’t try to do anything new or exciting. The movie has some great comedy and acting talent behind it, but most of the jokes feel too familiar, like they’re barely scratching the surface of what the comedians can do. It does ensure that fans of the first film will be happy, but it doesn’t do much for anyone looking for more.
The music is the same way, using tracks and artists that fit but also feel overdone. The effects are basic save for one set piece, though even that scene doesn’t quite capitalize like it could have.
That said, there’s still fun to be had with this movie. If you’re looking for a nice way to kill time or to see some fun interactions between Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, you’ll be satisfied with this sequel.
It would be an understatement to say that Ty Segall is a busy musician.
At only 28 years old, the prolific garage rock workhorse has released 18 albums and 10 EP’s spanning his eight bands.
Over the years, Segall has developed a formula that has worked well for him.
When it comes to the punk influenced and psych-tinged garage rock that began turning heads in the mid-2000s with bands like “The Black Lips,” Segall pioneered his own approach.
His newest project “Emotional Mugger,” is a testament to how an artist who creates consistently can prove to age and progress gracefully.
“Emotional Mugger” stands out in many ways from his earlier work. The album features a low-fi production and is complemented with abrasive fuzzy guitars, heavy bass and occasional electronic touches that add to the album’s chaotic character.
Within seconds on the first song “Squealer,” the album’s wide eyed and crazed personality is revealed.
The track features an odd rhythm that’s backed up with an even weirder melody, wound tight with the synchronized drums and bass. The song “Emotional Mugger/ Leopard Priestess” provides an infectious groove that is brimming with swagger and topped off with one of the most frantic guitar solos on any Segall album.
The song “Mandy Cream” spotlights Segall’s expressive and erratic delivery.
Make no mistake, this is the craziest that Segall has ever sounded. Between B+
For its 35th year, the Colorado Indian Market continued its tradition of celebrating beauty and encouraging learning with art, performance and discussion.
For more than three decades, the market has been a festival focused on celebrating Native American culture, offering artists, sculptors and performers a chance to share their passions with Coloradans and help foster understanding between cultures.
The festival offered an expansive selection of different types of art created by both native and non-native artists, as well as performances by musicians and dancers.
“The idea with the entertainment is to teach people about different cultures and different tribes,” said Vlasis Pergasis, the traditional drum player for the Native American musical group Brulé.
Based out of South Dakota, the group has attended the market for several years, finding long-term fans with their performance as well as opportunities to teach others about their tribe’s culture.
Others like the Kalpulli Ehecatl dance
Native arts open minds and discussion

Vocal powerhouse Jocelyn Arndt and her retro rocker sibling, Chris,
are surging in popularity among college campuses. Harvard University students by day and indie blues rock stars by night, the duo has logged over 100 live performances in 2015, including the Sundance Film Festival and Mountain Jam Film Festival. They were ranked 12th on Planet Stereo’s
“100 Artists You Must Hear In 2015.” The promising duo is preparing for the
release of their first full length LP “Edges,” which is due to release Feb. 26.
The record is a follow-up to the band’s critically acclaimed seven track EP “Strangers In Fairyland,” originally released Oct. 27th, 2014. The band’s 21-year-old singer and songwriter Jocelyn radiates power and confidence within her sulky yet sassy lyrics over 19-year-old Chris’ bold and intricate composition. “We’re a team,” she said during an interview with The Metropolitan at the Larimer Lounge.
The duo recently premiered the first single of the album “Shame” in December with Paste Magazine. They recently performed at Denver’s Larimer Lounge on Jan. 16. “’Shame’ is all about sweet, sweet musical revenge,” Jocelyn said. “Dry Cereal” was described as the hardest record to write off the LP by Chris. “It was like the third song we ever wrote,” he said. “I was in ninth grade in high school.” The song was originally released on a short self-produced EP by the siblings while Chris still attended high school.
Jocelyn describes the upcoming album as more cohesive than previous work.
“The first one, we were trying to figure
out who we were and how the heck to do the studio thing,” she said. “This one is blues rock, it’s a rock album.”
Exclusively written and composed by the duo, “Edges” is the indie band’s second commercial release with managerial guidance and production from Bridge Road Entertainment.
“We’re in a development deal,” Jocelyn said.“The end goal is to push us to record labels, to get us out into the world.”
For the duo, non-stop shows are more than just promotion.
“My goal is to just live it, get as much as we can out of it,” Jocelyn said. “Social media and otherwise, just become better performers, become better at what we do. I hope by the time we get to LA we have all these little memories. I got this crazy instant Polaroid Camera, we have to remember things as they happen.”
The band has performed live over 100 times. They reminisced on a visit to Chattanooga, Tenn.
“There’s a guy named Matt Herndon,” said Chris. “He saw us there and he just kind of took us under his wing. He’s like one of our biggest fans, he’s always trying to get us shows.”
Stay tuned for a review of the duo’s new LP, “Edges,”
group come for these same opportunities, eager to inform and educate attendees on Aztec culture through their dance performances and their handmade jewelry.
“Cultural Exchange is the big one,” said David Zamora, one of the group’s Mexica dancers and the son of the group’s founder PAZ. “This is to show — not to argue, not to just be yelling and saying ‘No, we’re here!’ — but to actually show and to share and to prove that maybe we’re not in the pyramids anymore but if you look just a couple miles over, we’re in the towns and the cities. The Aztec, the Mexica culture is alive, thriving and well.”
Many attendees felt the event succeeded in doing this.
“I love it,” said Gail Penrod, a first time attendee. “It’s unique, and I really enjoy coming and learning about other cultures.”
Artists are also impacted by their participation in the festival. Lane Dukart, a local artist who specializes in stone work chimes, bells and tiles, said the market stands out among the hundreds of art festivals he’d participated in after only two years of taking part in it.
“For me, the Indian Market is unique among art shows because it’s less competitive and a lot more of a family feel,” Dukart said. “I’m kicking myself for not getting into it 10 years ago.”
The appreciation and desire to learn by attendees is what keeps many artists and performers coming back. Redbird Herrera, a third generation drum maker who has traveled the world to sell his drums and teach his craft with the help of his son
Eagle, said he loves coming back, even after 20 years, for this reason.
“To me, it’s a blessing to be able to attend the Indian Market whenever I can,” Herrera said. “I’m always looking forward to coming out to Denver and to any of the markets that are held.”
Metro women’s basketball couldn’t come up with answers to South Dakota Mines offensive dominance as they lost their fourth straight game, 78-61 Jan. 23 on the road.
The Roadrunners dropped to 7-12 overall and 5-8 in the RMAC as the Hardrockers improved to 9-8 overall and 6-7 in the RMAC.
The game fell apart for Metro in the fourth quarter as S.D. Mines outscored the Roadrunners 23-4 within the first eight minutes.
Sophomore guard J’Nae Squires-Horton led the Roadrunners in scoring with 16 points. Junior guard/forward Jenae Paine added 13 points and sophomore guard Georgia Ohrdorf came away with 10 points. Ohrdorf also led Metro in rebounding with five.
It was a strong early start for
the Roadrunners as they held S.D. Mines to only two field goals in the first ten minutes. Metro would build on their 12-point lead to end the first quarter, 20-8.
The Roadrunners continued
looking hot into the second quarter as they took a 14-point lead early. But S.D. Mines capitalized with a 10-1 run late in the quarter. Going into the half, Metro still held the 37-31 lead.
In the third quarter, the Roadrunners lost their lead and would not regain it for the remainder of the game. Metro couldn’t find a way to defend S.D. Mines 3-point shooting streak as the Hardrockers went on to close the quarter on a 14-2 run. The Roadrunners trailed S.D. Mines at the end of the quarter, 51-46 with no answers going into the fourth.
The Hardrockers finished shooting a solid 68.8 percent from beyond the arc and 56.8 percent from the field. The Roadrunners shot 50 percent from 3-point range and 35.9 percent from the field.
The Roadrunners will return home to try to end their four-game losing streak as they face New Mexico Highlands Jan. 29 and Western New Mexico Jan. 30 at the Auraria Event Center.
The Roadrunners have been at their best when the games are close and put in high pressure situations. In games decided by four points or less, Metro is 4-1 on the season including the 71-70 win over South Dakota School of Mines Jan. 23 in Rapid City.
Even when the Hardrockers scored 10 points in the final minute, the Roadrunners held off the comeback going 6-for-6 at the line during that stint.
Senior guard Tony Dobbinson scored a game-high 25 points while he and three other Runners were perfect at the line. For the team, Metro missed only three free throws going 17-for-20 to pull out the one-point victory.
In the first half, the Roadrunners got off to a fast start taking a 12 point lead twice in that span. The Hardrockers kept
themselves in the game by driving to the basket often getting the easy buckets. S.D. Mines scored 10 points in the paint in the first half and finished with 24 total.
Metro would take a 32-24 lead at the half.
The Hardrockers opened the second half with a 3-pointer by junior forward Marco Pascolo. Metro would follow up with a series of jumpers by Dobbinson and sophomore guard Peter Moller who earned player of the game finishing with 13 points, five rebounds and two assists.
Missed 3-pointers and a lethargic defense down the stretch brought S.D. Mines back into the game. Sophomore guard Brian Orr of S.D. Mines went 3-for-6 from beyond the arc in the second half alone assisting with the comeback. Orr finished with a team-high 19 points shooting 7-of-12 from the field.
Although the Hardrockers shot 52 percent from the field to Metro’s
48 percent, the Roadrunners were stellar at the line as well as on the defensive end converting 13 points off turnovers.
With the win, the Roadrunners completed their first road sweep of the season having beat Black Hills State the night before.
Metro is 11-8 on the season and 9-4 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. They currently sit atop the Rocky Division with important conference games upcoming
against CSU-Pueblo and UC-Colorado Springs.
The Roadrunners will return home Jan 29. in another tough conference matchup against the New Mexico Highlands Cowboys. Highlands has equal wins on the season to Metro but has one less loss in conference. Western New Mexico will come to town the following night to close out the weekend home stand.

» Baseball, softball tickets now on sale
» Men’s soccer recognized by NSCAA
» Women’s tennis picked first in RMAC
In case you missed it, Roadrunner baseball and softball tickets are now on sale for all home games for the 2016 season. These games will be played at The Regency Athletic Complex. For single game prices, Metro students will receive free admission, general public $8, seniors (65 and up) along with Metro alumni and all other college students pay $4. Children five and under are free.
Roadrunner baseball was picked third in the RMAC preseason poll while softball was picked second.
Baseball kicks off Feb. 5 against Nebraska-Kearney at the RAC while the women open up on the road against Western Oregon. Softball will play its first home game Feb. 20 against Adams State in a doubleheader.
Men’s soccer was recognized with multiple academic and athletic awards by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Jan. 20. Junior forward Josh Belfrage was named to the NSCAA Scholar All-West Region team. The team is comprised of both NCAA Division I and Division II schools. Junior Jeff Gillis and Tyler Trujillo earned NSCAA Division II All-South Central Region second team honors.
Heading into the spring season, Metro women’s tennis team was picked in a three-way tie for first place while the men’s team was picked second in the RMAC preseason poll. Sophomore Emily Kerr earned RMAC Preseason Player of the Year holding a 9-4 overall record. On the men’s side, junior Josh Graetz and freshman Joseph Tscherne were each recognized with preseason all-conference honors. Women’s tennis will open the season at Northern Colorado Jan. 31 while the men’s team open against Abilene Christian at Air Force.
The 2016 AFC Championship game appeared to be another wild fourth quarter comeback for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. However, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos’ defense put a stop to their Super Bowl aspirations, earning the tightly contested 20-18 win.
With 17 seconds on the clock on a fourth and goal play, tight end Rob Gronkowski made an acrobatic catch in the back of the end zone bringing the Patriots within two points of the Broncos.
Brady’s two-point attempt led to a tipped pass resulting in an interception by cornerback Bradley Roby. Had it not been for a missed extra point by Stephen Gostkowski in the first quarter, New England may not have needed to go for two and the game could’ve went into overtime.
Of course, all the initial hype seemed to surround the Brady and Manning rivalry in their 17th match up.
Both quarterbacks faced huge
challenges leading up to the highly anticipated game beginning with Brady and Deflategate in the AFC Championship one year ago. He and the Patriots were out to prove everyone wrong and make another consecutive Super Bowl appearance.
As for Manning, he has struggled all season due to age, attrition and receivers who haven’t shown up in the latter part of the season with multiple dropped passes. This season Manning threw just one touchdown in the Mile High compared to Brady’s three, although the Broncos came away with the win over the Patriots earlier in the year with Brock Osweiler at the helm.
The narrative we’ve heard all week was Manning had lost his arm strength and wouldn’t be able to get the job done against New England unless he played a nearly perfect game. Many people expected to watch his last game as he struggled to find his rhythm.
Despite some doubts, Manning came out strong and silenced all questions about his arm strength by starting the first drive with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Owen
Daniels. He showed his physical durability and mental strength, and acted as the Peyton of old by calling in-and-out of the right plays at the line of scrimmage.
It is easy to focus on the big stars in games like these. However, it came down to Denver’s No. 1 ranked defense and the defensive calls made by coordinator Wade Phillips that shaped the game. Denver’s defense attacked Brady’s every throw, making it impossible for him to step into his passes, which allowed the Broncos to come away with another close win.
He was sacked a total of four times, throwing three interceptions and completed 27-for-56 for 310 yards.
The impact of wide receivers Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola proved to have no effect on the game combining for 12 receptions for 92 yards.
The Patriot’s offensive line couldn’t find any answer for Bronco linebacker Von Miller, as he notched five tackles, one interception and 2 1/2 sacks.
The Denver secondary often confused Brady in their combinations of man and cover
three zones causing multiple coverage sacks. For Super Bowl 50, the Broncos are once again underdogs to the 18-1 Carolina Panthers led by dynamic quarterback Cam Newton.
The Panthers are currently two point favorites and just about every sports aficionado is taking the NFC champs over Manning and
his No.1 ranked defense. Denver’s defense is going up against Carolina’s No. 1 scoring offense in what some may say is the matchup for the ages.
The Denver Broncos will make their way to Santa Clara for the NFL’s first Super Bowl at Levi Stadium Feb. 7.
