How CSU helped save a champion’s legacy: the tornado and the Tornado Twins
By Savannah Grace Brown Tuesday anxiously gathered her family into the barn’s safety. The Weather Service had issued storm warnings for Windsor and the surrounding plains. The storm touched down with little warning, ripping the structure from its foundation and slamming it back to earth. Tuesday, a championship quarter horse, managed to push the others in her… Continue reading How CSU helped save a champion’s legacy: the tornado and the Tornado Twins
‘Not for lazy policing’: Fort Collins police defend Flock cameras amid privacy concerns

Why is CLEP such a secret at FRCC?
By Nyxi Gammieri When I explained to a first-year classmate how my academic plan had changed so dramatically — that what I expected to be two years at FRCC was shaved down to three semesters in a flash — it was met with disbelief. “How is that even possible?” It sounds unrealistic. It isn’t. It came down to… Continue reading Why is CLEP such a secret at FRCC?
Calm in the chaos: inside FRCC’s EMS 1021
By Nyxi Gammieri A panicked voice fills the room. An elderly woman lies in pain as her son urges responders to move faster. Instead of rushing her out the door, though, EMTs begin treatment there — something many people don’t realize they’re trained to do. For Brandy Heustis, moments like this are part of the job — and of what she… Continue reading Calm in the chaos: inside FRCC’s EMS 1021
Iron Lung Review
This is not an expedition. It is an “Iron Lung” review. Moments before descending into an ocean of blood, a small, bright circle of futuristic technology casts a red-tinged light into the dingy, cramped interior of the dilapidated SM-13 submarine. Having just seen two colleagues bombarded with a flash of radiation, a dishevelled scientist scowls… Continue reading Iron Lung Review
ICE in schools
On January 30th, students held an anti-ICE walkout. The walkout began at 2:00, starting with a small but mighty crowd. By 2:15, the crowd had moved from Mountain View High School to the roundabout on the corner of North Boyd Lake Ave and Mountain Lion Drive. The crowd held their signs high, along with chanting… Continue reading ICE in schools
Even with a court reprieve, public radio needs the community’s help
By Hannah Manier and Nyxi Gammieri “We are only as strong as the community that surrounds us.” So said KRFC executive director Justin Clapp, even after a dramatic reprieve from the Supreme Court barring President Trump from ending funding for public broadcasting. It’s been a life-or-death time for all public radio stations with the administration’s… Continue reading Even with a court reprieve, public radio needs the community’s help

FRCC upgrades campus safety with non-lethal tools
By Daniel Tellez Security officers at Front Range Community College have traded in their traditional batons for a new, less harmful tool. Each is equipped with a specially formulated spray that uses a strong, disorienting odor to stop individuals without causing lasting injury. The shift is part of a broader safety overhaul designed to protect… Continue reading FRCC upgrades campus safety with non-lethal tools
Blood along the Front Range
Friday morning in Greeley is known as “blood boil day.” Thursday night, the cattle roll in – wide-eyed, fate-sealed, stacked in semi-truck trailers waiting to be unzipped and gutted by the gods of industry. No good blood pools in rivers. They put it in a pot and raise the heat. They torch it, vaporize the… Continue reading Blood along the Front Range
