LIVE FROM WINDSOR, IT’S WWBN: HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT BROADCASTING NETWORK CALLING GAMES LIVE ON YOUTUBE Growing Student Club Has Goal To Be High School ESPN

BY ANNE DELANEY

H

igh school basketball game night Monday evening in Windsor had a lot of familiar sights and sounds: players and coaches, a pep band and fans gathered in the gym.

It was started in October 2020 by a Windsor High School teacher and four students as a way to give Windsor High sports fans access to games on YouTube with in-person attendance limited by COVID-19.

The Windsor High gym was loud with the Erie boys and girls basketball teams in town for a rescheduled doubleheader on Windsor’s senior night. Seniors from the girls and boys teams were honored before their games, both won by the Wizards.

The WWBN also delivers a weekly news show titled the “Wizard Weekly News” for news and events from the high school and the Windsor community.

Another group at the game might be a more familiar sight at a college or professional sporting event. A Windsor High School student broadcasting crew completed the home-game experience with live-game coverage on YouTube, while set up in the gym’s balcony overlooking the action.

The Windsor Wizards Broadcasting Network (WWBN) is a 16-month-old student club run almost entirely by students.

6 | mywindsor | FEBRUARY 2022

The network has taken off with student interest and its reach.

WWBN now uses 23 students to produce coverage of most Windsor home varsity games on its YouTube channel. With 577 subscribers, WWBN covers basketball, football, soccer, unified basketball, volleyball and wrestling. The network plans to add boys lacrosse to its broadcast lineup this spring, weatherpermitting.

“It’s turned into such a positive opportunity for so many

directing and camera operators. Students can choose their work during weekly meetings. The students also round up their own sponsors and produce commercials for the broadcasts, which average between 200-400 viewers.

The WWBN single-broadcast record is 2,498 views for an overtime Broomfield-Windsor football game in November 2020. The basketball teams’ post-season games last year recorded more than 4,000 views, according to WWBN founder and advisor Michael Vasa. Vasa worked in television production in the mid-1990s to 2001 at TCI Cable in Greeley.

He taught at Greeley Central before Windsor.

students,” said junior Paige Bretz, one of WWBN’s founding students.

Senior Clayton Davidson, another founding student, said the network wouldn’t have started without COVID-19 and it’s proved to be a valuable and productive consequence.

“Now, it’s a necessity,” Bretz added.

The students in WWBN have a chance to work in roles such as play-play-by-play announcers, color analysts, graphics,

“We want to be a high school ESPN,” said Vasa, who teaches video production, photography and graphic design at Windsor High School. “We want to be as good as a Sunday afternoon football game. That is our goal.”

The basketball regular season is over, and WWBN plans to broadcast home playoff games once the post-season schedule is set.

Windsor athletic director Eric Johnson was among the high school administrators involved in the development and organization of the network. Johnson said the WWBN has grown quickly, and the school is trying to figure out how to arrange for the students to travel to away games. Close to $5,000 has been invested in the club with grants and advertising sales, Vasa said.

Vasa and Johson said the network is a unique venture for students in Colorado. The content from the WWBN

think, ‘How can I fix this?’ It’s real-world experience, and maybe they can walk out and have a career.”

WWBN relies on seven students for every broadcast. For the basketball games Monday against Erie, six of those students were stationed in the gym’s balcony: a play-by-play announcer and color commentator, along with the student responsible for graphics, the director and two manned-camera operators.

An unmanned camera is also set up for the broadcast. A third student camera operator worked on the court from the baseline.

The first official broadcast was coverage of a HeritageWindsor football game on Oct. 16, 2020. Bretz and sophomore Johnny Reed were the commentators on the game. Bretz, Reed, Davidson and 2021 Windsor graduate Aidan Lyons worked with Vasa to start the network. Bretz also worked with Vasa for a practice-run broadcast of a Windsor softball game.

Windsor High School student director Booker Whittington keeps a eye on the multiple camera views during Windsor Wizards Broadcasting Network coverage of a Windsor girls basketball game against Erie Monday, Feb. 7, 2022 at Windsor High School.

originated at Windsor from its own grassroots start. Davidson was in on the network’s start as “the technical brain of the operation,” according to Vasa. Davidson has a lot of experience with computers, software and YouTube. He continues to work behind the scenes on broadcasts as IT support and expertise.

Erie has a similar program in its Erie Tiger Network for students interested in video production, news reporting, news writing and live broadcasting.

The National Federation of State High School Associations has its NFHS Network that partners with schools to produce and stream broadcasts. One of the productions options with the NFHS Network School Broadcast Program provides schools with online tools and software for students to produce and stream content.

“I see the kids producing something that’s modeled on what they’re doing in their classes,” Johnson said. “Creative thinkers and problem solvers. If something goes wrong, they have to

“We went to the science wing and set up a camera,” Vasa said.

Among the games that stand out for many of the WWBNers were the basketball games last year, including the girls team’s run to the state championship game, and the football team’s OT loss to Broomfield in 2020.

Another Windsor football game from last fall also remains a strong memory for Vasa and Davidson. Windsor hosted Bear Creek on Sept. 24. Windsor police were called to the school on a report of a fight possibly involving an individual with a firearm at the game. The report was unsubstantiated by the town of Windsor, but Vasa and the students only knew of a threat and they continued their work while Vasa communicated with school officials.

“We were thinking, ‘What do we need to do if there is an actual gun?'” Davidson recalled.

After the girls varsity basketball game Monday night, senior Caeden Becker, one of the commentators on the broadcasts, went down to the court to do post-game interviews with Windsor players and coaches. Sophomore Maddie Howell did the play-by-play work while Becker provided color commentary in Windsor’s 78-30 victory. The Windsor boys defeated Erie 67-52 in the nightcap.

Howell said she remains true to play-by-play in a lopsided game while Becker as the analyst might have to go deeper into his notes for content.

“I feel like we had really good chemistry tonight,” Howell said. “We’ve had a game before, and we’ve had good reviews on our chemistry. We meet every week, and we get to know each other. It makes it more like we’re friends and we can talk to each other easily on air.”

Howell said the student commentators don’t focus only on Windsor because the Wizards are their team. In other words, the students want to avoid being “homers,” a slang word for an announcer who outwardly favors the home team. And during a lopsided game, such as the girls varsity game Monday night, the Windsor students “don’t want to put the other team down.”

“You don’t want to be mean, but you want to make sure people know what’s happening,” Howell said. “You have to walk that line very gracefully.”

Why Shopping And Supporting Small Businesses Is Great For Our Community

BY SHELLEY WIDHALM MARKETING FEATURE

E

ven before Megan Borgmeyer joined Poudre Pet & Feed Supply, she kn k ew about the company’s focus on building a sense of community t with its customers and the towns where it’s located.

Local al businesses create jobs and foster entrepreneurship,said Josh Olhava,community t planner and project manager for the Windsor Downtown Development Authority t.

That’s because the moment she stepped into any of the company’s six i stores, she’d find a warm environment, a warm welcome, and a staff eager to help her.Then in summer 2021, she joined that staff as a marketing special a ist.

“Entrepreneurs look for creative and innovative ways to establish their brand and focus on their local a roots and community t characteristics. Independent businesses bring original a ity t and new life to their communities,”Olhava said.

“It’s a family environment.We’re going to look after each other and the customers and do every rything we can so they have the best experience,so their pet,their loved one,can live a happier,heal althier life,” Borgmeyer said. “What we do on every ry level willl touch the pet family.”

As a smal all business,Poudre Pet & Feed Supply enjoys supporting other smal all businesses,sellling local allly and regional ally made products that are of high qual ality t and often contain natu t ral al ingredients.

Poudre Pet & Feed Supply, established in 1988 in north Fort Collllins,carries more than 50 brands of feed for pet and farm animal a s, reptiles, fish, and birds, and an assortment of pet supplies, and it includes dog wash stations at five of its stores.The company has four locations in Fort Collllins,one in Loveland,and one in Windsor,they a so provide local al a delivery ry and in-store pickups.

“Shopping at a local small business is vital to a community t ’s growt w h and prosperity t ,”Borgmeyer said.“You’re able to contribute to the livelihood of a community t .You aid in creating more jobs and opportu t nities,fostering real a connections with employees.”

The employees go through extensive training to understand the store’s products so that when customers come in the door,they kn k ow what to suggest to meet their pets’needs,Borgmeyer said.

“When you have a smal all business, you are real ally able to create an effective, positive cul u tu t re,”Borgmeyer said.“For us, that centers around empathy,having respect,transparency,and appreciation for customers, manufactu t rers, and employees. If you’re able to make a positive environment,employees want to go to work,and it’s going to be a greater environment al alll around for every r one.”

12 | mywindsor | MARCH 2022

“Everything we sell we would give to our own animals,” Borgmeyer said.

Several al other local allly owned Northern Colorado businesses use local a suppliers for their goods and serv rvices, fu f rthering the idea of keeping things local al,Olhava said.

“Shopping local a can help reduce auto dependency and sprawlilng growt w h patterns by having more choices in a short drive or within wal a ki k ng distance.These efforts can reduce air and water polllution,” Olhava said.

Poudre Pet & Feed Supply contributes to local a nonprofits,such as animal a rescues and food banks ks,dedicates part of its marketing efforts to advocating for animal a welflare and improved pet care,and sponsors or has a presence at community t events.The company supports events hosted by animal al rescue organizations and brings its treat tru ruck to races,concert series,block parties,and other local al events,lilke Poudre R verFest,the Polar Plunge,and the Dog Days of Summer.

“Customers and pets are at the heart of everything we do,” Borgmeyer said.

Those friends are shopping local,which helps keep money local and small businesses grow and flourish,Fuentez said.

Chill Potz is a family-owned and operated paint-your-own-pottery studio that has been in business for more than two years. Located in Windsor, the studio hosts parties and offers custom creations for businesses and families and makes sure everyone who stops in is made to feel welcome.

“Stay local, and locally we will be able to provide more,” Fuentez said.“We are all people with families. We all know each other. More and more that you stay local the more we can take care of one another.”

“Windsor is still small enough we should all be treated like you’re greeting a friend,”said Amanda Fuentez,owner of Chill Potz.

“Shopping local helps support businesses that are unique to a community,which results in a sense of community pride,”Olhava said.

“This leads to areas such as downtown districts becoming community destinations where visitors want to shop,eat and play.”

Fuentez likes to hire young adults to help them learn how to be welcoming and engage in other customer service skills,she said.

Keeping things local develops a sense of community pride and a destination,Olhava said.

“These skills are important in daily life how to deal with people,” Fuentez said.“They learn how to deal with small children clear up to adults.”

Fuentez wants her studio to be a safe place for her customers and their families to visit,she said.

“I don’t know how many moms drop off their kids in my shop and feel comfortable doing so, because they have grown to know me and feel safe leaving their kids with me,”Fuentez said.“I provide a place for people to collect their thoughts and put themselves together."

That’s because art can be considered a type of therapy and a mode of self-expression,Fuentez said,adding that she enjoys listening to her customers’stories as they paint.

“I have seen many tears and have heard lots of laughter. I have become friends with many people who have walked through my door,” Fuentez said.

TOWN OF WIN WINDSOR OFFERS 3RD GRADERS FREE SWIMMING LESSONS IN PILOT PROGRAM Children must live in town of Windsor boundaries

BY ANNE DELANEY

T

he town of Windsor Parks, Recreation & Culture Department is teaming up with Windsor High School swimmers to offer free swimming lessons to third graders living in town limits beginning later this month.

The pilot program was launched “to give third graders an opportunity to learn basic water safety skills for free,” parks, recreation & culture operations and facilities manager Kendra Martin said in a news release.

The lesson starts Feb.26 and will be held on Saturday mornings during two four-week sessions through April 30 at Windsor High School.The third graders may attend one session. Each child will receive four 30-minute lessons per session. The second session begins April 9.

Each class will be limited to 48 students. Classes begin at 8:15 a.m. each Saturday and run through 10:30 a.m.

The lessons will be taught by members of the Windsor High School swim teams with assistance and guidance from town aquatics staff.

14 | mywindsor | MARCH 2022

Registration is open on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Residents of Windsor interested in registering their child must sign up in advance either online at www.recreationliveshere.com/ recreg, in-person at the Windsor Community Recreation Center, 250 11th St., or by calling 970-674-3500.

To speed the registration process, reference activity number 110107.

Proof of Windsor residency will be required at the time of registration.

The lessons are being offered to give the third graders a “healthy, life-long activity which can help prevent obesity and establish children in an active lifestyle,” according to parks, recreation and culture department website.Martin said the lessons might also one day lead the third graders to join the Windsor High School team.

“The swim teams can show the kids how a gift was given to them and they can be the ones to show the kids how to be safe in the water and maybe the kids will be excited to someday be on the swim team,”Martin said.

WINDSOR-SEVERANCE FOOD PANTRY OFFERS HELPING HAND FOR RE-4 RESIDENTS

BY MIKE PETERS

I

t’s a place where people in need of food and support can go and get help — a special place for those who need some help to feed their families or themselves.

the family farm near Windsor 40 years ago. Her children are the fourth generation to be raised on the farm. She has deep roots in the community and enjoys what she does at the Pantry because she truly enjoys helping people.

It’s the Windsor-Severance Food Pantry, and it’s located in Windsor, at 1020 Walnut Street.

Heckman said she is very happy about all of the help the Pantry receives. It is a non-profit agency and only exists because of community volunteers and the donations of money and food. She said the people of this area are very generous and keep the pantry going.

There is no charge for the food.

The Pantry is currently open from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesdays and Thursdays, and beginning in March will also be open 4-6 p.m.

Mondays. Anyone living within the boundaries of the WindsorSeverance School District can use it. Residency is the only requirement for assistance.

Brenda Heckman, who lives on a family farm north of Windsor, has been the Pantry Director for 23 years, and has found the best thing about her job is helping people and making new friends. That includes the people who need the food and the volunteers who come to help her.

“I was at home with a baby years ago, and a friend was running the pantry” Heckman said. “She asked me once a week to come and help her and at the end of the first year, she left her food pantry director position and I took over.”

Heckman grew up in Ault, she and her husband moved to

16 | mywindsor | MARCH 2022

Originally organized as a ministry of Faith United Church of Christ, in 2014 the Pantry became an independent 501c3, and as such now rents space from Faith Church, benefiting both organizations.

communmity | GROWTH & UPDATES

A WINDSOR

UPDATE:

Sustainable Growth

BY DARIAN ARMER

A

ll it takes is a short drive around Windsor to see the growth the town has experienced in the past two tw w decades. New buildings, parks, businesses, homes, and more have created a vibrant community that has managed growth that’s come fast and furious.

It was only two tw w short decades ago that the population in Windsor was 9,900 people. The Windsor population nearly doubled betw tween w 2000 and 2010, and then nearly doubled again from 2010 to 2020, growing from 18,644 people in 2010 to 32,716 people in 2020 according to U.S. Census data. That equates to 87.75 percent growth in just a decade.

“The entire Northern Colorado region has experienced a lot of growth, and it seems like Windsor is sort of the bullseye of that target.

People love our safe community, our great schools, and affordable living compared to some of our neighbors. A lot of people choose to live in Windsor for all those reasons,” says Shane Hale, Windsor’s Town Manager.

18 | mywindsor | MARCH 2022

Hale says the town has seen some great business growth as well, which is something residents are always looking for.

Major business projects have included the Mill Redevelopment Project, which was a partnership with the town of Windsor, the DDA and Blue Ocean, to incentivize the redevelopment of the mill, resulting in the revitalization of the old mill and creation of a space to anchor main street.

Things the town can plan for and currently are, include increased demand on certain infrastructure services and facilities. Hale says the town is planning a big expansion to the sewer/waste water treatment plant in the next few years because of Windsor’s population growth.

The forthcoming Future Legends Sportsplex is another feather in Windsor’s cap. The 118-acre sports complex will draw teams from across the state and further to Windsor, bringing with them tourist dollars spent bolstering Windsor’s economy.

The town also participates in NISP (the Northern Integrated Supply Project).

“The Future Legends sports park has been a really big project that’s still underway right now and promises to bring a lot of attention to Windsor,” says Hale.

When it comes to infrastructure, Hale says the town is busy with capital improvement projects including addressing additional traffic and people coming into the town. Hale says he often hears from residents who say the town should do improvements like widening roads before its needed, so that when it inevitably is needed, it’s ready.The problem with that, Hale says, is that “growth pays its own way.”

“The problem is we don’t always have the money to pay for the improvement at the time. Growth pays its own way,” he says.

“Because growth pays its own way we can’t really get ahead of all of this stuff,” says Hale.

“NISP promises to bring a significant amount of water to the town of Windsor for future growth,” Hale says.

Hale says the town takes every opportunity to hear from its residents about what they would like to see added to the town and weighs resident input on every decision the town has control over.

“The reason why there are so many people moving here is because we have so many things going well. We have a really safe community. We have great schools, great parks and great open space,” says Hale. “There are so many opportunities and reasons for people to come here. I think that’s why so many people have chosen Windsor and will continue to choose Windsor.”

sports | FUTURE LEGENDS SPORTS PARK

Future Legends Complex announced the hiring of Rosalind Aguilera as the president of professional sports early February. She recently left the post.

NEW OWLZ, HAILSTORM PRESIDENT LEAVES POST

BY KEN AMUNDSON

R

osalind Aguilera, announced just days ago as the inaugural president of the two new professional sports teams that will make the Future Legends Sports Park in Windsor their home, has withdrawn.

Details from the sports park organization are sparse, but Aguilera said she was terminated.

Damian Foley, director of marketing and communications with Future Legends, told BizWest that the decision was a “mutual” one between Aguilera and the organization.

Team owner and park developer Jeff Katofsky sent a note saying “no comment” when asked for time to speak about the matter.

Foley said that a replacement search is underway, with hopes of making a hire “in three or four weeks.”

Aguilera said she had been in the job for five weeks and in that time had to arrange for gear for the players, a training area prior to completion of the playing fields, medical care for the teams, practice areas, apartments for players, furniture for player apartments and furniture assembly.

20 | mywindsor | MARCH 2022

“It’s appalling. I moved my family halfway around the world. It’s a mess,” she said.

She said resources for getting work done were in short supply. Before furniture could be delivered, for example, she needed a check from team ownership. That check arrived on a Thursday and the players were coming on Saturday, with the furniture needing to be assembled once delivered.

“There’s no way I can be a scapegoat for all the problems,” she said.

She said she complained to Katofsky about what she described as a hostile work environment. He terminated her a day later, she said.

“This is not how you treat people. If you treat employees this way, how will the community be treated?” she asked.

The departure comes at a critical time for the fledgling teams, both of which are scheduled to begin playing at the yet-under-construction sports park this spring.

BizWest had been in contact with Aguilera just last week as it prepared to profile her in the March issue of

the business journal. She gave no indications then that she was on her way out. To the contrary, she expressed excitement at her role overseeing the Northern Colorado Owlz baseball team and the Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC soccer team.

“It’s thrilling. I get to be part of building two new franchises in a new community,” Aguilera told BizWest. “I love everything about sports, watching, playing and talking about sports.”

Aguilera, a California native who had moved to Fort Collins, came across the opportunity when she was on vacation for the holidays last year. She’d traveled to Colorado from Cape Town, South Africa, where she’d led all-girls sports programs for the previous six years. While here, she connected with Katofsky, owner of the Owlz and Hailstorm, who offered her after an hour-long conversation the position to lead the two new franchises.

“I wasn’t sure if I was ready to move to the U.S.,” Aguilera said, adding that she and her husband Uhuru Sonjica’s flight home got canceled due to the outbreak of the COVID Omicron virus. “It was an incredible opportunity of timing and world circumstances. …

The world is telling us to take a leap to the next step in our lives.”

Hailstorm FC and the Northern Colorado Owlz make their home in the Future Legends Complex, a 118-acre multi-sport center in Windsor scheduled to open in June with the teams’ first two games. The center also will host guests from major sports, tournaments and leagues.

NORTHERN COLORADO MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM ANNOUNCES MANAGER

BY JADYN WATSON-FISHER

Colorado Owlz have a manager and hitting coach, ThetheNorthern club announced on Tuesday.

Cory Snyder is no stranger to baseball or the franchise,which was previously in Orem,Utah.Most recently,Snyder served as the Owlz’s director of public relations for the 2019 season after spending more than a decade as a manager and hitting coach.

“In looking for a leader, our Owlz needed someone who could teach, motivate, and direct the complicated athletes of today,”Owlz co-owner Jeff Katofsky said in a statement. “I did not have to look further than my old friend Cory Snyder.We are lucky to have Cory, whose experience as a star player, hitting coach, manager, and front office executive gives the Owlz the perfect person to continue the Owlz dominance of the Pioneer Baseball League.”

Before his brief stint in Utah — the Owlz did not play in 2020 or 2021 — Snyder spent two seasons inTaiwan as the CTBC Brothers manager.The team participated in the Chinese Professional Baseball League and led the franchise to the CPBL World Series in 2017.

Snyder also spent a season managing the Pericos de Puebla in the Mexican League. The team earned in 2016 its second Mexican League title, while Snyder was the fourth American manager to win the league and the first in 15 years.

In the United States, Snyder worked within the Seattle Mariners organization as a hitting coach for the Jackson Generals and Tacoma 24 | mywindsor | MARCH 2022

Rainiers, the team’s minor league programs.

As a player, Snyder’s resume includes nine seasons as a right fielder in the majors and a second-place finish at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Medals were not awarded at the games.

He was drafted fourth overall in 1984 by the Cleveland Indians after a collegiate career with Brigham Young University and made his MLB debut two years later. Snyder, who was a top nominee for Rookie of the Year in ‘86, scored 149 home runs during his career.

His single-season best comes in at 33 homers in 1987 when he was with Cleveland.

Snyder finished in the American League’s top-10 for home runs in a single season (1987 and 1988), as well. He logged an AL-leading 14 assists in 1988 and .997 fielding percentage in 1989.

“It’s a huge privilege for me to work here in Northern Colorado,” Snyder said in a statement. “I have known Jeff for a long time and spent many years with him in Orem. I am very excited about the project, it is going to bring a lot of good things to the city of Windsor. Even though it is our first full season in the Pioneer League, I want to let the fans know that I will do everything I can to bring a championship to northern Colorado.”

The Owlz will begin their inaugural season in Colorado on May 25. The home opener, set to be held at the Future Legends Complex in Windsor, is scheduled for June 1.
